Chapter 7: Refining Instruments in Alchemy

  In the quiet chaos, Zhang Xue quietly lay down, exerting all his strength to refine the Five Heavenly Pillars.

  Blood refinement isn't that simple, it requires constantly providing sufficient blood energy to the artifact being refined at all times, until the blood energy permeates the entire artifact and completely refines it. If there is even a slight shortage of blood energy supply midway, all previous efforts will be in vain.

  It's very difficult to control the magic treasure when it's not fully refined, so it can't be fully controlled, and even control is out of control. In this case, this magic treasure can also be said to be completely useless, because each magic treasure can only be blood-refined once, if it fails, no one will want it anymore. Everyone can imagine that when fighting with the enemy, the enemy cuts over with a knife, and you use the magic treasure to block it, but find that the magic treasure suddenly loses its power, which is fatal. So, it can be said that a failed blood-refined magic treasure is not even worth giving away.

  Moreover, the higher the quality of the Blood Refining artifact, the more massive the blood energy required for Blood Refining will be. This makes it even harder to refine and can be considered a major drawback, which is also the main reason why Blood Refining cannot spread in the Desolate Expanse. After all, after refining one's blood, they would no longer be able to seize artifacts, which is quite an attractive prospect. It's worth noting that in the future of the Desolate Expanse world, those who possess a Supreme Treasure will be extremely cautious, fearing that their treasure will be snatched away and they will die on the spot.

  Don't they know about blood refinement? Who wouldn't want to keep their treasures for themselves, but they don't change the blood refinement. Not to mention whether there is a strong body or not, the blood and energy also increase by a hundredfold with the improvement of the quality of the magic treasure, and when it comes to the Xiantian Treasure level, the amount of blood and energy required has reached an unimaginable level, making it impossible to refine, even the ancestors can't do it, let alone them.

  But the lower-level ones are also useless, and the higher-level ones can't be refined. It's a typical assistant chicken. After a long time, only the Wu tribe will be able to refine blood.

  In the midst of chaos, time was lost, and several hundred years would pass in an instant. Zhang Xue remained still, mobilizing all the energy in her body to surge towards the five heavenly pillars in her heart. She ceaselessly refined the five heavenly pillars, which were surrounded by a dense, blood-colored aura. From time to time, flashes of blood-colored lightning appeared.

  Only the blood-colored web-like threads were seen, already covering the entire body of the five Heavenly Pillars. When those blood threads expanded and turned the entire Heavenly Pillar into a blood-stained color, that would be the day when the Blood Refining Technique was completed.

  Zhang Xue continued to increase the output of his blood energy, but for him, this kind of blood energy was nothing to write home about. For someone with a body as strong as his, where even he himself didn't know just how powerful it was, it was simply child's play and not worth paying attention to.

  Time slowly passed, and the five heavenly pillars were almost completely refined. The blood threads filled his entire body, dense like they had been painted with blood, only a small part in the middle was not yet fully colored red, but it was getting smaller as the blood energy continued to flow in.

  Before long, the five heavenly pillars simultaneously emitted a "humming" sound, and the blood color had completely enveloped the five heavenly pillars. The five heavenly pillars were trembling non-stop, emitting humming sounds, and radiating bloody halos all over their bodies.

  Suddenly, the five heavenly pillars stopped trembling, and the blood color all over his body flowed back like water, slowly merging into his body, changing from the original crimson color to its original color. The humming sound also stopped at this time.

  At the same time, Zhang Xue also had a mysterious connection with Wugen Tianzhu, a feeling of being connected by blood and flesh, as if Wugen Tianzhu was a part of her own body. As long as she thought about it, she could control him as easily as controlling her own hands and feet.

  Zhang Xue released the Five Pillars outside his body, controlling them as they flew around him in circles, his heart excitedly thinking.

  "Haha, this is really interesting! This is my first time controlling a magic treasure! So cool! Next time I'll refine a peerless flying sword that will be made up of tens of millions of flying swords. It can be used for one-on-one combat or group battles." Just thinking about the scene makes Zhang Xue feel excited.

  Imagine the protagonist standing in front of a thousand troops, slowly walking forward with an unwavering gaze, one hand pointing to the sky with his sword. Suddenly, a magnificent sword flies out from behind him, leaving the enemy stunned. Swords continuously fly out from the first sword, dancing around the protagonist like loyal guards. The sunlight is blocked by the swords, casting a gloomy shadow over the sky, and an eerie silence falls over everything. At this moment, the protagonist makes a 360-degree turn, pointing his sword at the enemy with a flourish, and the countless swords behind him instantly transform into a dragon-like formation, charging towards the enemy and annihilating them completely. What a magnificent scene! What a thrilling spectacle!

  Zhang Xue in YY has decided that even if he has to sell his pots and pans, he will practice flying swords. Because the scene is just too cool and handsome.

  Having refined the ultimate treasure of the heavens, it's also time to refine the elixir.

  Zhang Xue this time wants to practice a very special elixir called Wuji Jindan, a very earthy name, but with magical abilities.

  This is a very magical elixir or a very strange kind of elixir.

  Generally, Dan medicine can more or less enhance one's cultivation. For example, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of Tai Shou Lao Jun, when consumed by an ordinary person, allows them to become a celestial being in one step. This is because the energy within the elixir constantly transforms the body into a celestial form, and the yuan-shen (primordial spirit) also becomes strengthened to the level of a celestial being. Therefore, it can be said that only when an ordinary person consumes the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can they ascend to become a celestial being in one step. Other elixirs may have some transformative effects as well, but these are not noticeable by oneself.

  The Wuji Golden Elixir, although it contains energy a hundred times that of the Jiuzhuan Golden Elixir, doesn't have even the slightest ability to help people increase their cultivation.

  This is a very strange pill, generally when an immortal eats it, they will instantly turn into a pure energy ball in their dantian, without feeling anything. When this immortal who ate the Golden Pill fights with others, the Wújí Jīndān (Limitless Golden Pill) comes into play. As long as their magical powers are depleted, the energy ball formed by the Wújí Jīndān will immediately replenish it. If they accidentally get injured, the energy ball will also quickly recover from the damage, even if they lose limbs. Moreover, the energy ball will also protect against attacks on the yuan Shen (primordial spirit). It can be said that as long as the energy ball is not completely consumed, one cannot die. This is also the terrifying aspect of the Wújí Jīndān, so in the future, it will be the most popular pill in the Honghuang world, and can be said to be priceless, earning the nickname "Life-Saving Golden Pill".

  At this time, someone said that if I eat countless Wujin Golden Elixirs, won't I be invincible? The idea is beautiful, but all things have flaws. Although the Wujin Golden Elixir is extraordinary, it can only be eaten nine times at most. If you eat more, you will suffer from energy explosion, severe injury or even death.

  Zhang Xue took out a large number of innate spiritual fruits from her own space, and fortunately, she had obtained a lot of innate spiritual roots in the past. Otherwise, it would be impossible to refine the Extreme Golden Elixir now.

  Arbitrarily select seven spiritual fruits with yin-yang and five-element attributes from countless spiritual roots as the main material. Arrange them according to the principle of mutual generation and restraint of yin-yang and five elements, placing the spiritual roots with yin-yang attributes in the middle and arranging those with five-element attributes into a circle following the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

  With a movement of his mind, the energy inside the seven spiritual fruits of yin and yang wuxing was triggered, and the seven different spiritual fruits emitted colorful colors, dyeing the surroundings in a riot of colors. At this time, Zhang Xue concentrated her mind to control the energies of various colors, connecting the properties of various spiritual fruits according to the principle of intergeneration and inter-restraint of yin and yang wuxing, establishing a cycle among the various spiritual fruits. The chaotic air around also absorbed by the seven spiritual fruits due to the circulation, increasing the energy inside the spiritual fruit.

  At this moment, the chaotic fire was suddenly released and instantly enveloped the Lingguo, slowly refining it.

  Not long after, Lingguo absorbed countless Chaos Qi, and its own energy also reached its peak, rapidly melting into a transparent **. Among them, Zhang Xue had added countless innate Lingguo, constantly burning with the Chaos Fire.

  Look at the transparent thing in front of you. 'It's almost done, it's time to use the special method for refining the Wujigold pill.'

  Then Zhang Xue clumsily used his huge palm to strike out a series of magical seals.

  Only to see the Taoist law turn into a dense thread that can be seen through, flying towards transparency. As soon as it came into contact, it started boiling and burst out with intense light, like a small sun, making people dare not look directly.

  The suddenly radiating light began to withdraw like flowing water, as if a black hole swallowed the light too, and finally all the light was swallowed into a small black dot, and the chaos returned to its original state.

  "Could it be that I failed? It's impossible, even if I did fail, there should be some remnants left. How could there be nothing at all?" Just as he was thinking about this, the place where the light had just disappeared suddenly burst out with a radiance a million times stronger than before, and slowly dissipated, revealing eighty-one golden pills in the original alchemy spot.

  "Wuji Golden Elixir has been successfully refined!" Zhang Xue excitedly shouted.

  "Haha, let's keep going and strive for more. Eighty-one is far from enough, I'll turn all the spiritual fruits into the Limitless Golden Elixir." With that thought, Zhang Xue repeated what he did earlier, immersing himself in the promising alchemy business once again.
