Chapter 17: Refining the Top Grade Elixir One More Time Seeking Collection

  "It's barely passable, but it still hasn't reached the power that a mountain-opening palm should have. Remember, this mountain-opening palm must have the momentum of opening a mountain, with strength rising from the ground, feet and waist combined, coordinating with the true energy of the dantian and qihai, and striking out with full force in order to achieve maximum power." Old servant Nan Shu said.

  "Yes, Uncle Nan." Lu Shaoyou nodded and said.

  "Alright, now I'll teach you how to refine the elixir." Old servant Nan Shu said, and with a light flick of his sleeve, a large tripod cauldron about one meter high appeared out of thin air.

  On this large tripod, a purplish-red color is diffused, carrying a strong spiritual medicine fragrance, surrounded by dense patterns, and there is also a pattern of a fire dragon swirling in it.

  The mouth of the fire dragon has a hole as big as a bowl, and on top of the large tripod, there is a round lid. This large tripod looks like it has an ancient aura and is very heavy.

  "This is called the Fire Dragon Cauldron, and I'll give it to you later. Don't let others see it for no reason, or else the Ling Shuai will also be moved to kill you if they see it. This Fire Dragon Cauldron has some mysteries, but for a newcomer like you, it can actually help you quickly get familiar with alchemy." said Old Servant Nan Shu.

  "Thank you, Uncle Nan." Lu Shaoyou was overjoyed. Every time Uncle Nan gave him something, it was always a treasure. Lu Shaoyou even had an idea that he should dig out more treasures from Uncle Nan, get one more thing, and he would benefit endlessly in the future. Even if he sold them later, they would sell for a good price.

  Of course, Lu Shao didn't dare let Nan Shu know about this idea, otherwise Nan Shu wouldn't let him off.

  "Nan Shu, this big fellow you gave me, I can't even carry it away. How did you just take it out?" Lu Shaoyou said helplessly to Nan Shu, and hastily walked to the side of the fire dragon cauldron, bent down slightly and hugged it, this fire dragon cauldron weighed at least two hundred kilograms.

  "I knew you'd be like this." Old servant Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou, then took out a black ring-like object and handed it to him, saying "This is a storage ring. Drip your blood onto it, put it on your finger, and it will merge with your body. When you need it, just stimulate your true energy or spiritual energy, and you can use it. The space inside is enough for you."

  Old servant Nan Shu said, "This thing you also shouldn't reveal in front of outsiders. If you encounter someone with ill intentions, murder and robbery are normal. This storage ring, there are only three in the world. Although it's not very valuable, it has some mysterious properties that allow it to merge into one's body. One ring is equivalent to the entire Lu family; I estimate they wouldn't even be able to afford it."

  "Is it that expensive?" Lu Shaoyou was suddenly surprised, this storage ring alone is worth the entire Lu family. This Southern Uncle's body is indeed full of treasures. Lu Shaoyou hastily took over the storage ring, bit his index finger, and a drop of fresh blood dripped onto the storage ring. Immediately after, he put it on his left hand's ring finger, and this storage ring strangely merged into his finger and disappeared.

  "You can use your spiritual power to check everything inside the storage ring, and then you can put anything in it later. However, living things cannot be put into this storage ring." said Old Servant Nan Shu.

  Lu Shao Yu deployed his spiritual power, and instantly the storage ring on his left hand's nameless finger appeared. At the same time, a space of nearly 100 square meters inside the storage ring appeared in Lu Shao Yu's mind.

  "Treasures, I've struck it rich." Lu Shaoyou thought to himself, he was truly a man of explosive character, if not for meeting someone like Nan Shu, he wouldn't have had the chance to obtain such treasures.

  A storage ring, worth a Lu family, thinking that his own hands were carrying a Lu family, Lu Shao couldn't help but feel some anxiety, and with that fluttering feeling, all of this came too suddenly.

  "What's wrong with you, do you think it's very valuable? It's a worthless thing!" Old servant Nan Shu looked at Lu Shaoyou and said: "The Lu family is not bad in Qingyun Town, but on the entire Lingwu continent, they are nothing. You're not my apprentice, but I'd better give me a long-term vision, don't make me lose face."

  "I understand, Uncle Nan." Lu Shaoyou had just started to feel a bit dizzy, but was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water by Uncle Nan. It seemed that he and Uncle Nan were really incomparable. When he had the chance in the future, he would definitely go out into the world to take a look.

  "All right, you get familiar with this fire dragon cauldron first. Later, we'll prepare to refine the elixir." Old servant Nan Shu said, gesturing for Lu Shaoyou to take a good look at the fire dragon cauldron.

  Lu Shao walked to the side of the fire dragon cauldron, carefully stroking and measuring it. The workmanship was exquisite, just like an antique. Lightly touching it would produce a faint humming sound.

  "With your spiritual energy, pour it into the mouth of this fire dragon and flames will appear. Give it a try." said Old Servant Nan Shu.

  Lu Shao heard this and slightly sank his spirit. Immediately, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly poured into the mouth of that fire dragon.

  "Hmm..."

  Suddenly, a burst of green and red flames shot out from within the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

  "Slow down, if you refine the elixir like this, all the medicinal materials will be ruined by you." Old servant Nan Shu said loudly, and then said: "It's not bad that you can condense flames for the first time. Now, I'll teach you how to refine the elixir, pay attention and remember carefully."

  Lu Shao didn't expect that his actions would cause such a commotion, and he nodded immediately. In his ear, he heard Nan Shu saying: "What I'm teaching you to refine now is a low-grade elixir called Guan Ding Dan. It can improve the cultivation of martial artists at the Wu Tu level. First, open the lid and put San Xing Cao and Wu Ye Lian into the Huo Long Ding for refining. Control your spiritual energy, and make sure the fire is not too big or too small. If the flame is too small, it won't refine the medicine, and if it's too big, it will damage the essence of the medicine. This step is just to remove impurities from the medicine and leave only the purest part."

  "Don't rush, steady yourself, control your spiritual energy, otherwise, if you exhaust your spiritual energy, the elixir will not be able to be refined."

  "Add another sprig of fresh mint and a pinch of scattered dew..."

  "You can't see what's inside the tripod, you have to use your spiritual power to spy on it, this relies on feeling, not something that anyone can teach." Old servant Nan Shu continued.

  Lu Shao-yu began to use his spiritual power to probe everything inside the Fire Dragon Cauldron, refining the elixir, making Lu Shao-yu both excited and tense, in short, his mood was complex.

  Under the guidance of Uncle Nan, Lu Shaoyou also gradually entered a state, and Uncle Nan occasionally nodded slightly without speaking.

  "Be careful, steady yourself." Old servant Nan Shu suddenly shouted.

  Lu Shao's heart sank, his spiritual power control was unstable, the flames inside the Fire Dragon Cauldron suddenly roared and grew larger. He hastily stabilized the flames, his heart skipping a beat. Controlling spiritual power seemed simple, but in practice, it was extremely difficult.

  "Get a grip and calm down." The old servant continued to say beside him.

  Inside the secret room, the flames in the fire dragon cauldron reflected on the stone walls of the secret room, and the flames kept jumping. The temperature inside the secret room was also rising steadily, and Lu Shaoyou had already started sweating profusely.

  An hour later, Lu Shaoyou felt that the spiritual energy in his mind was rapidly decreasing. Refining elixirs was indeed an extremely spirit-consuming thing.

  At this time, it was just that all the materials had been refined into spiritual liquid, and Lu Shaoyou felt that he could no longer hold on.

  "Alright, now you can rest for a while." Just as Lu Shaoyou was about to tell Uncle Nan that he couldn't hold on any longer, the old servant's voice had already spoken in his ear.

  At that moment, Lu Shaoyou stopped pouring spiritual energy into the Fire Dragon Cauldron. His divine ability was like a bowstring that had been suddenly released, and he fell softly onto his back in the secret room, gasping slightly for breath, as if he had just finished running a marathon, with every part of his body unwilling to move again.
