Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 7: Dan Cheng
The pill was stuffed into his mouth, and Yue Cheng immediately furrowed his brow slightly. This was indeed a pill that replenished true energy, and it seemed to also be able to replenish Dou Qi and magical power. However, the amount of true energy this pill could replenish was truly meager, only slightly stronger than before.
It's better to supplement a little than not at all, Yue Cheng could only think so, and immediately took out two more and put them in his mouth. Only after taking three elixirs did the true energy show obvious signs of replenishment. Yue Cheng also planned to refine the last elixir. At this time, if Yue Zi Feng saw Yue Cheng eating the elixir like this, he would definitely be heartbroken.
He picked up the spiritual energy jasper and held it in his hand, only to see that the spiritual energy jasper was emitting a color of alternating green and red all over its body, with a faint aura emanating from inside. Yue Cheng threw the spiritual energy jasper into the alchemy furnace, and immediately changed his handprint, causing two flames to pour back into the alchemy furnace once again.
Jingqi zhi is the most important medicine in Zhuji Dan, and it's also the hardest to refine. Yue Cheng didn't dare to be careless, and the two strands of Wushang True Fire in his hands were burning Jingqi zhi at a steady pace. Under the flame of Wushang True Fire, Jingqi zhi slowly started to reveal a hint of dark red color.
Half a day later, the essence of the Dan furnace began to wither under the burning of the Supreme True Fire, and the first drop of greenish-red liquid dripped out from it. Watching the change in the essence, a hint of a smile flashed across Yue Cheng's face, but he immediately became even more cautious, for this was a critical moment.
Half a day later, Yue Cheng's face was already pale, fortunately the last drop of green red liquid had also dripped down from the Jingqi Zhi, now the Jingqi Zhi in the Dan furnace was the largest, about the size of three thumbs.
"The first step has finally succeeded." Yue Cheng muttered to himself, and then took out all the dan medicine from the store and put it in his hand, estimated to be about five or six pills. After a moment of hesitation, Yue Cheng stuffed all the dan medicine into his mouth, what a waste.
As soon as he swallowed the dan medicine, Yue Cheng's pale face regained a hint of blood color. Although one dan medicine didn't have much effect, fortunately there were many, and they could also restore some of Yue Cheng's true energy.
After a short rest, relying on the foundation-building period's cultivation to refine the elixir was a very strenuous task for Yue Cheng. Immediately, Yue Cheng's hand seal rose again, and the Supreme True Fire in his hand poured into the crucible once more. Next came the final step in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill: condensing all the medicinal materials that had been refined into a pill would be considered a great success.
This final step was also the easiest to fail, and Yue Cheng carefully controlled the Supreme True Fire in his hand, slowly wrapping it around the various colors of **mutually fusing**, but these **as soon as they saw the flame in Yue Cheng's hand, they scattered and escaped in all directions within the Dan furnace. It was difficult for the flames to wrap around those **, let alone control their mutual fusion.
Yue Cheng had expected this situation, and the more it happened, the more he needed to keep his mind calm, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain. Yue Cheng calmed himself down, and the Supreme True Fire in his hand continued to wrap around those colorful ***, fortunately, those *** could only escape randomly in the alchemy furnace.
After several hours, Yue Cheng finally succeeded in wrapping all of them with the Supreme True Fire. All of this was supported by his own super strong realm, otherwise Yue Cheng would have failed long ago.
Yue Cheng controlled the various colors that were slowly merging, wrapped in the Supreme True Fire. A rich medicinal fragrance also wafted out of the dan furnace, and from now on, it was just a matter of time. At this moment, Yue Cheng's face turned pale again, and his true energy consumption for three whole days was not easy to sustain with his current foundation-building cultivation.
Half a day later, a strong spiritual energy emanated from Yue Cheng's room and spread out, many servants felt the special aura floating in the courtyard, these servants were also ordinary people, so they didn't know what had happened either.
"Finally succeeded." Looking at the three thumb-sized cyan pills in his hand, a rich spiritual energy emanated from them. Yue Cheng didn't waste any of the medicinal materials and successfully refined three Foundation Establishment Pills. Looking at the three Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand, Yue Cheng couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement and joy on his face.
In an instant, Yue Cheng used a jade bottle that had been prepared long ago to collect the two Foundation Establishment Pills. He then stuffed the remaining pill into his mouth and began to circulate his Qi to refine it. His internal true energy had already been almost completely depleted, so Yue Cheng did not dare to be careless, as this would have an impact on his future cultivation.
Yue Cheng felt the Zhu Ji Dan enter his belly, a strong medicinal power quickly spreading throughout his body. Yue Cheng hastily controlled the medicinal power according to the Hun Yuan True Classic's method, circulating it through the seven meridians and eight vessels, merging with his true qi before finally flowing towards his dan tian.
Also didn't know how long had passed, Yue Cheng slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. Two strands of essence light lingered in his eyes for a moment before disappearing into his pupils. The aura on Yue Cheng's body also changed again, his entire body's aura stabilizing at a steady realm. After absorbing the medicinal properties of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Yue Cheng's cultivation had reached the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. It seemed that he would be able to enter the middle Foundation Establishment stage soon.
"Big brother, what are you doing?" Su Xiner's voice came from outside the door and into Yue Cheng's ears. It had already been five days, and her big brother still hadn't come out, she couldn't help but worry.
"Xin'er, come in." Yuesheng tidied up and stood up as well. She should have been in the house for more than three days already; they must be worried again.
"You've barricaded the door, how am I supposed to get in?" Su Xiner's soft voice came from outside, and if it weren't for the fact that she was the one who had barricaded it, she would have already entered.
Yue Cheng suddenly remembered that he had locked the door, and hastily opened it. Su Xiner's slightly angry face appeared before his eyes.
"Tabo, what have you been doing inside for five whole days? I thought something had happened to you." As soon as she saw Yue Cheng, Su Xiner anxiously asked, her originally slightly angry face disappearing, replaced by a look of concern.
"I'm fine." Yue Cheng smiled slightly, today this little girl was wearing a cyan-colored qipao, that tender figure looked full of feminine charm, especially those plump and raised buttocks and those high-heeled slender legs, Yue Cheng couldn't help but take another two glances.
"Come on, let's go practice." Su Xiner pulled Yue Cheng's hand and headed to the left, where the Yue family's martial arts training ground was located. The clan members would usually go there to practice and spar. Su Xiner had shown great talent in practicing internal energy since she was young, so Yue Zishan taught her the Yue family's internal energy and techniques. Although Su Xiner was only 16 years old now, she already possessed the cultivation of a one-star Grand Master, and among the second generation of the Yue family, there were not many people who could be her opponent.
