Chapter Thirty-Seven: Secluded Cultivation of the Elixir at the Third Watch

  "I also had no choice." Lu Shaoyou had long expected that the Lu family's affairs couldn't be hidden from Nan Shu, and he knew about yesterday's events, which didn't seem strange to him.

  "You'd better be more careful now, don't die from being careless and waste my time teaching you." Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou for a moment, then ignored him and left the secret room.

  Lu Shao Yu glanced at Nan Shu's back and immediately sat down cross-legged, a faint smile in his heart. It seemed that Nan Shu had come specifically to remind him to be careful.

  He pulled out the Fire Dragon Cauldron from the storage ring, and a humming noise spread out. The Fire Dragon Cauldron appeared in the secret room, emitting an ancient aura.

  Lu Shaoxiu immediately took out two large packages of medicinal materials borrowed from the Tianbao Gate, hesitated for a moment, and decided to first refine the 50 portions of Guanding Dan before refining the Xiangyuan Dan.

  Zengyuan Dan is a second-grade dan medicine, but Lu Shaoyou currently has no grasp of it and doesn't know if he can refine the second-grade dan medicine. He should first refine the Guanding Dan to get familiar with the feeling, which will likely be helpful in refining Zengyuan Dan later on.

  With a hand seal, a stream of spiritual energy poured into the Fire Dragon Cauldron from its mouth. Inside the cauldron, a substantial flame condensed instantly. Lu Shouyou took out Sanxing Grass and Wuye Lotus, put them into the Fire Dragon Cauldron for initial refinement, then added Huagi Grass, Ningluo dispersing medicine...

  Lu Shao-yu was getting more and more familiar with the process of refining the Guan Ding Dan, and although there had been an unexpected event at first, nothing unusual happened afterwards.

  At this time, despite being extremely familiar and having successfully refined the top-grade elixir dozens of times, Lu Shaoyou was still being extremely cautious. Refining elixirs truly did not allow for even a slight bit of carelessness.

  At this time, Lu Shaoyou had already been able to easily refine a pellet of Top Grade Spirit Dan, and his spiritual energy was several times stronger than when he first started.

  In terms of speed, it has also increased a lot. With the refining of Dan medicine, every time he exhausts his breath and recovers, Lu Shaoyou can feel that his spiritual energy is becoming more condensed.

  About half a time, the sound wave on the fire dragon cauldron moved and responded. A dan medicine flew out of the fire dragon cauldron with a strong fragrance, and was then collected by Lu Shaoyou.

  "Fifty gold coins in hand, continue." Lu Shaoyou smiled with satisfaction and immediately continued to devote himself to refining the Guanding Dan.

  When the second elixir was refined, Lu Shaoyou also began to adjust his breath. After a huge consumption of spiritual energy in his body, he continued to refine the elixir after adjusting his breath.

  Time passed slowly, and the Lu family was as calm as before, without any major waves. However, the news of the Lu family's useless young master had been circulating among the servants for several days, causing a stir. For a time, all the servants were shocked and amazed, and some people began to secretly worry about themselves.

  As for Lu Shaoyou, he continued to refine the elixir in the secret room of the thatched cottage. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the secret room was filled with a scorching heat, the flames illuminating the room with a bright light.

  Bang!

  The cauldron lid opened, and another elixir was collected by Lu Shaoyou. The rich fragrance of the medicine filled the entire secret room, making everyone feel refreshed and invigorated.

  "The fiftieth one, it's finally successfully refined." Lu Shaoyou gazed at the dan medicine in his hand and smiled, saying that after five days of non-stop refining, he had finally managed to refine fifty pellets of Top-grade Spirit Infusion.

  Fifty pellets of Dan, two thousand five hundred gold coins, after deducting the cost, I can also make a big profit, but it's still far from enough to pay off the debt.

  Lu Shaoxia smiled wryly and put away the Guanding Dan, then took out the remaining two portions of medicinal materials. These were all the materials needed to refine the Xiangyuan Dan. Now, he should also start refining the second-grade elixir.

  After a slight adjustment of his breath, Lu Shao's hand seal was printed out, and a stream of spiritual energy poured into the Fire Dragon Cauldron. The spiritual energy transformed into substantial flames in an instant, and the temperature inside the cauldron suddenly surged with scorching heat.

  "White Peony Grass, Seven Star Leaf." Lu Shao-yu added each of the medicinal herbs to the Fire Dragon Cauldron without any discrepancies, relying on his precise spiritual energy perception at this moment to control the refinement of the medicinal herbs.

  At this time, Lü Shao was also nervous in his heart. The second-grade elixir and the first-grade elixir were completely different concepts, and refining them would be much more difficult.

  Time slowly passed, and after a while, Lu Shao-yu once again devoted himself to refining other medicinal materials, not daring to be careless in the slightest. The handprints in his hands kept changing, as the same medicinal materials were constantly refined into the spiritual liquid needed for the Yuanyuan Dan.

  At this time, the refining required a few large spiritual powers to support it. The spiritual power in Lu Shaoyou's mind was also rapidly depleting, and at this time, the spiritual power was no longer as weak as before.

  Inside the cauldron of fire, these medicinal materials were incinerated by flames and reduced to ashes, while some of their essence transformed into spiritual liquids that were wrapped up on one side.

  Lu Shao controlled the intensity of the flames with his spiritual power, according to what Nan Shu had recorded on his jade slip, the temperature of these flames could not be too high or too low, it had to be accurate to the slightest degree.

  At this time, under the control of the flame, Lu Shaoyou was barely able to get familiar with it and could do so far.

  "It's all refined." The materials for the Refining Yuan Dan were finally completely refined again, Lu Shaoyou let out a slight breath, his dantian sank, and he felt the spiritual energy in his mind. Suddenly, a sharp light shot out from his eyes, and the handprint in his hand changed. In the Fire Dragon Furnace, the flames surged up once more.

  Inside the cauldron of fire dragon, there are nearly twenty kinds of medicinal liquids, slowly melting together under the wrapping of flames.

  In this fusion, Lu Shaoyou felt that the spiritual power in his mind was being consumed at a terrifying speed. This fusion of spiritual liquid required an extremely precise and accurate feeling to control, a feeling that Lu Shaoyou couldn't quite put into words for the time being. The power of this feeling seemed to come from the conversion of his own spiritual power, and the true energy within his body could also be transformed, but it was far inferior to the conversion of spiritual power.

  This feeling of power, Lu Shao estimated (touched) that it was probably the power of his own soul. At this time, the fusion of spiritual liquid made the power of the soul particularly important.

  Time slowly passed, and inside the cauldron, the thick fragrance of medicine grew stronger. Lu Shao's face turned paler, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

  "Damn, this consumption is really terrible." Lu Shaoyou furrowed his brow, the consumption of refining a second-grade elixir was even more frightening than he had imagined, and he already felt like he couldn't take it anymore.

  But now if he can't digest it, the refinement of the Yuanyuan Dan will be in vain. This is what Lu Shaoyou least wants to see. He gritted his teeth and made a hand seal, mobilizing the spiritual power in his brain to surge out violently.
