Chapter 177 Preparations for Alchemy

After that earth-shattering, heart-wrenching battle, the once prosperous Lingdan Sect was reduced to ruins and devastation. However, under Zhang Yifan's outstanding leadership, the Lingdan Sect gradually rose from the ruins and regained its vitality.

Zhang Yifan's astonishing courage and extraordinary strength displayed during this critical moment of life and death shone as brightly as the most dazzling star in the night sky; his selfless dedication and unwavering commitment deeply moved every disciple of the Lingdan Sect, inspiring endless admiration for him. At the same time, his outstanding performance also successfully attracted the close attention of the highly respected senior master, Xuan Fengzi.

Xuan Fengzi is a seasoned elder who has dedicated decades to the field of alchemy. He is somewhat thin, but his face is kind and approachable. His eyes, though not large, shine with an unwavering dedication and focus on the art of alchemy. After years of tireless effort and dedicated research, Xuan Fengzi has recently risen to the prestigious rank of Ninth-Grade Alchemist, becoming the undisputed number one alchemist in the Lingdan Sect! Back when he was still an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, he had already earned the title of "King of Alchemy" and become renowned throughout the martial arts world for his unparalleled alchemy skills.

It must be said that Zhang Yifan truly shone during this critical crisis concerning the life and death of the Lingdan Sect. If it weren't for his heroic efforts, even Xuan Fengzi himself might not have been able to successfully refine that extremely rare and precious ninth-grade pill, and might even have suffered a severe backlash, ending up utterly annihilated. Therefore, Xuan Fengzi resolutely broke with convention and decided to personally refine this invaluable pill for Zhang Yifan.

Upon hearing this exciting news, Zhang Yifan was overwhelmed by a tremendous wave of joy, his heart filled with indescribable gratitude and surprise. He could barely contain his excitement and rushed towards Xuan Fengzi's alchemy room like a bolt of lightning.

Finally arriving at their destination, Zhang Yifan, filled with deep respect, bowed deeply to Xuan Fengzi, who was busy at work, and said sincerely, "Senior Xuan Fengzi! You are willing to expend so much effort to refine the legendary Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill for me. Such a great kindness and virtue is something I, Zhang Yifan, could never repay even if I were to be shattered to pieces! I will remember this deep affection for the rest of my life and never forget it!"

Faced with Zhang Yifan's sincere gratitude, Xuanfengzi smiled kindly, waved his hand gently, and replied earnestly, "Young friend Zhang, please don't be so polite. Back when your sect faced numerous crises, it was you who stepped forward, using your extraordinary courage and outstanding strength to turn the tide and save the entire sect from dire straits. Such heroic and fearless actions are truly admirable! Therefore, my refining of this Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill for you is merely a small reward for your contributions. Furthermore, refining such a rare elixir is also a rare challenge and an opportunity for self-improvement for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Fengzi said no more and turned to methodically begin preparing for the intricate details of refining the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. Seeing this, Zhang Yifan quickly stepped forward to assist, and the two meticulously listed all the rare medicinal herbs needed for the pill refining. The incredibly precious herbs were neatly arranged, emitting strange and unique spiritual energy fluctuations, shining as brightly as stars in the night sky.

At this moment, Xuan Fengzi carefully picked up one of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, examining it intently as if it were a priceless treasure. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "This thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is no ordinary mushroom! It is one of the most crucial ingredients in refining the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. Look how pure the spiritual energy contained in this Ganoderma lucidum is, and how concentrated its medicinal effects are. It has a significant impact on the final quality of the pill!"

Zhang Yifan listened attentively, watching Xuan Fengzi carefully arrange the medicinal herbs one by one. His respect for this ninth-grade alchemist grew even stronger. He knew that refining a ninth-grade pill was no easy task; every step required precision, and any mistake could lead to failure.

Immediately afterward, Xuan Fengzi walked solemnly to the place where the alchemy furnace was located. The furnace stood there silently, exuding an aura of awe. This alchemy furnace was no ordinary object; it was an extremely precious magical treasure! Its body was entirely black, yet faintly shimmered with a mysterious, eerie light. Upon closer inspection, one could see that its surface was densely covered with ancient and obscure runes. These runes, like nimble little snakes, meandered and slithered across the furnace, shimmering with strange light.

Xuan Fengzi carefully reached out his hands and gently stroked the alchemy furnace, as if touching a rare treasure. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection as he murmured to himself, "This alchemy furnace has been with me for many years! Over these years, it has accompanied me, helping me refine countless high-quality pills. Whether it's a holy medicine for healing injuries, a spiritual pill for increasing cultivation, or a miraculous elixir that can bring the dead back to life, it all owes its merits. This time, the success or failure of refining this rare Seven Treasures Rejuvenation Pill depends entirely on it!" After saying this, Xuan Fengzi took a deep breath, steadied himself, and began the next step of preparation.

After everything was prepared, Xuan Fengzi began to explain to Zhang Yifan the steps and key points of refining the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill. He described in detail the order in which each medicinal herb was added, the control of the heat, and the method of injecting spiritual energy. Zhang Yifan listened attentively, occasionally asking his questions, which Xuan Fengzi patiently answered one by one.

"The most important thing in refining the Seven Treasures Rejuvenation Pill is to master the heat," Xuan Fengzi said solemnly. "In the early stages, you need to use a gentle fire to slowly nurture the medicinal herbs, allowing their spiritual energy to fuse together. In the middle stages, you need to gradually increase the heat to maximize the medicinal effect of the herbs. In the later stages, you need to precisely control the heat so that the pill can take shape at the most suitable temperature."

Zhang Yifan nodded silently, memorizing these key points. He knew that although he wouldn't personally participate in alchemy, understanding these steps would greatly help him improve his alchemy skills in the future.

With everything prepared, Xuan Fengzi took a deep breath, ready to begin refining the Seven Treasures Rejuvenation Pill. He stood before the alchemy furnace, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy flowed from his body, pouring into the furnace. The flames within the furnace instantly ignited, the blue flames dancing and radiating intense heat.

Zhang Yifan stood to the side, watching Xuan Fengzi's every move intently. He felt both nervous and expectant, hoping that the precious Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill would be successfully refined and save the person he wanted to save. As Xuan Fengzi put the first medicinal herb into the alchemy furnace, a journey of refining the pill, which would determine its success or failure, officially began.
