"What, a Four-Piece Golden Crow Fire?" Wen Tieshan looked at the small Lingdan in He Lao's hand with some skepticism: "I observe that this Lingdan has an unremarkable spiritual energy, I'm afraid it's not even Second-Rank. Can it really be refined into Golden Crow Fire?"
Others also had a few points of distrust on their faces.
A first-rate or second-rate elixir can refine a fourth-rate Golden Crow Fire, which sounds like a pipe dream. A fourth-rate Golden Crow Fire is a rare and precious fire that countless people yearn for, and except for a handful of sects that have the method to capture and refine it, there are basically no other ways to obtain it. If taking an elixir can get a fourth-rate Golden Crow Fire, let alone a first-rate or second-rate one, even if it's a fourth-rate one, I'm afraid there would be countless buyers.
Everyone present is a Jindan period cultivator, they are well aware that the gap between low and high quality cannot be bridged by quantity. This is also why the prices of low and high-quality products often differ greatly.
It's now said that a spirit elixir of no more than second-grade can be refined into fourth-grade Golden Crow Fire, which is nothing short of hearing a big joke. If it weren't for the fact that the person who said this was He Lao, the most skilled alchemist among the crowd, people would probably think he had gone mad.
"This is a One-Piece Spirit Dan." He Lao also became anxious, and slowly said: "It contains a thread of sun essence, but this thread of sun essence, after being refined, is warm and docile, not at all restless. In theory, it's possible to refine the Golden Crow Fire with it. Of course, that's just in theory."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed an expression of "it's about time".
"This strand of solar essence is too fine, I'm afraid it's impossible to refine the Golden Crow Fire with just a few tens of thousands of grains. However, although this strand of solar essence can't be refined into Golden Crow Fire, its extremely yang nature is quite pure and can blend well with other types of fire. You gentlemen don't need it, but giving it to your juniors would also be a good thing." Old He said with a smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all at the Golden Elixir stage, and if they could really refine the Golden Crow Fire, they would be interested. But if it was just a strand of Sun Essence, it wouldn't have much appeal to them. However, everyone present was not a loose cultivator, and even if they were, they would still have disciples and followers, and their juniors would be even more numerous. Although the Golden Crow Pill's spiritual elixir rank was low, that strand of Sun Essence could almost be infused into various types of fire to enhance their rank, making it a very practical spiritual elixir. It was perfect for rewarding juniors on ordinary occasions.
"What Old Man said is quite good. I wonder where this Golden Crow Pill can be bought?" Yunxia Fairy asked, having heard that the Spirit Dan contained a strand of sun essence. The others also showed eager expressions.
"Heh heh, it was made by a small sect called Wu Kong Jian Men." Old He turned his face to Tian Songzi and said: "I don't know if you're familiar with this sect?"
Tian Songzi was surprised when he heard of the Wu Kong Sword Sect, and upon hearing He Lao's question, he hastily replied: "The Wu Kong Sword Sect has always been low-key in its actions. If it weren't for an incident that occurred recently, I wouldn't have noticed that such a powerful sect existed locally."
"How is it?" Yuan Liang asked curiously. As a Jindan period cultivator, Tian Songzi's cultivation was not weaker than theirs. And this sect had always been in charge of Dongfu Niuer, and could be called a powerful sect by him, its strength should not be underestimated.
As everyone showed a curious expression, Tiān Sōng Zǐ slowly began to speak: "When it comes to the Wu Kong Sword Sect, one cannot help but mention another heavenly phenomenon. Among this generation of disciples of the Wu Kong Sword Sect, there was a talented individual named Wei Sheng. This person came from a humble background, yet he was infatuated with the sword and, in order to cultivate his skills, was willing to become a sword servant. He diligently studied and finally built a foundation, during which time his sword intent shot straight up into the clouds, its sound echoing across the land, audible from far and near. I also witnessed this scene at midnight. It wasn't until later that I found out that the Wu Kong Sword Sect was actually very famous. Have any of you heard of the 'Ice Dragon Sword'?"
"But isn't that the 'Ice Dragon Sword' which was once renowned for its demon-slaying prowess?"
Others also showed a look of surprise.
"Not bad." Tiansongzi nodded: "To be honest, if it wasn't for this time Weisheng built the foundation and a heavenly phenomenon occurred, I wouldn't have known that Dongfu had such an able person. The Golden Crow Pill that He Lao mentioned must have been made by Shi Fengrong of the Wu Kong Sword Sect, who is in the Golden Elixir period, but among the four people, she is the most skilled at alchemy."
Compared to Tian Songzi, Yu Bai obviously knew more. He hastily said: "Master, you don't know that this Golden Crow Pill was not made by Shi Qianbei, but by his disciple Zuo Molian. It's said that it was accidentally obtained when he first started learning alchemy."
"This child's innate talent for alchemy isn't bad." Old Master He couldn't help but praise.
Tian Songzi's expression also didn't change at this time, and he blurted out: "This Wu Kong Sword Sect will surely rise to greatness!"
Everyone looked at him, and he explained: "You all don't know. This Zuo Mo was previously unknown, but in the Qi Refining stage, he obtained the Ling Plant Husband Spring Bud Jade Card, his innate talent is astonishing. He also grasped the sword intent during the Qi Refining stage, this natural talent is simply unbelievable. I didn't think he would have such talent in alchemy as well. The heavens indeed favor Wu Kong Sword Sect!"
At this time, others' faces couldn't help but reveal a look of approval. Among the three things Tian Songzi said, any one of them would be enough to be considered a genius, and having all three at once is absolutely a rare talent that appears only once in a hundred years. With Ice Dragon Sword as a famous master of the Wu Kong Sword Sect, and later generations of disciples with talents like Wei Sheng and Zuo Mo, several hundred years of prosperity can be expected.
Everyone present can't help but think of their own school and have different thoughts.
"Bing Xuan Sword is actually in Dong Fu, why don't we choose a day to visit, haha, and order a batch of Jin Wu Pills at the same time? What do you all think?" He Lao laughed and said. Among these people, he was most interested in Wu Kong Sword Sect.
Others echoed in agreement. Everyone present was a cunning person, and it was obvious that being on good terms with a promising sect would bring benefits in the future.
Zuo Mo sat in front of the dan furnace, his hands placed on the Eight Trigrams disk. His expression was focused. A clear golden light descended from above and landed in his hand, bending towards the dan furnace.
"The Crimson Flame Formula" was used to the extreme, while the Fire Separation Symbol Array was controlled within the smallest range. Inside the alchemy furnace, a ball of medicinal liquid was wrapped in golden light, suspended in mid-air, rolling restlessly, and the Fire Separation Symbol Array below emitted a faint warmth.
As he felt a hint of the sun's essence infusing into the medicine, Lu Mo suddenly lifted his spirits. He knew that the most critical moment had arrived.
The essence of the sun initially merged at an extremely slow pace, but now the speed of merging with the medicinal liquid suddenly increased sharply. At this time, be careful to control the intensity of the "Red Flame Incantation", and if you are slightly careless, everything will be lost. Zuo Mo failed many times on this level.
Hmph!
The liquid medicine that was just rolling suddenly emitted a wisp of green smoke.
Zuo Mo cursed in his heart, but before he could react, the liquid had already turned into a ball of gray ash.
"Damn it!"
Zuo Mo slumped down, continuously refining the pills, his spiritual energy almost completely depleted. His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, his complexion tired and worn out. The pill room was piled high with discarded medicinal dregs, the smell unbearable.
So far he has never succeeded once.
However, he didn't leave empty-handed. Until today, just now in that last attempt, he finally found where the problem lay.
Among the several materials of Beigu pills, there is one material that cannot withstand such intense solar essence. The solar essence seems light and gentle, but it is much more powerful than the Li Huo Fu array. This spiritual grass called Qian Yu Cao can't stand such intense flame refining at all.
He must find a spiritual grass that can withstand the high-intensity solar essence, yet has a medicinal property similar to that of Qianyu. Zuo Mo couldn't help but get a headache, this was the problem he worried about the most, once it involved pharmacology and medicine properties, he was at a loss.
He let out a sigh, it seemed that his idea would have to wait until later. However, he still had some reluctance in his heart, and he decided to go to his master's library to carefully search for any spiritual herbs with properties similar to those of the Thousand Jade Grass.
As he thought about it, he walked out of Danfang.
"Big Brother!" Xǔ Jìng saw Zuǒ Mò walk out of the Dan Fang, his eyes lit up, and he hastily approached: "That large ship has arrived at our school's gate!"
"What big ship? What's this about a big ship?" Zuo Mo's spirit was still somewhat dazed, and he subconsciously asked in a dull tone.
"Doesn't Brother Shī remember? It was that big ship flying across the sky that day!" Xǔ Qíng reminded him.
"A huge ship is passing by!" Zuo Mo suddenly had a start, and he woke up with a shock. The majestic large ship left a deep impression on him, and he hurriedly asked: "What's that big ship doing here?"
"I don't know." Xu Qing shook her head: "They seem to be chatting with the sect leader and several senior masters. But I heard they came to investigate the appearance of the White Day Star."
"White Day Star appears?" Zuo Mo felt his throat tighten, he suddenly remembered that the pink paper crane had also mentioned this term to him. For some reason, he vaguely felt that this White Day Star might have something to do with himself.
"Doesn't senior brother remember? Oh, right, I remembered! Senior brother was just building his foundation that day!" She was filled with regret: "What a pity senior brother didn't see it, the stars appearing during the daytime is very rare!"
Zuo Mo felt a chill run down his spine. If he had still been vaguely sensing a connection to himself earlier, now he was basically certain that this White Day Star was related to him! How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
He himself would never associate this phenomenon with himself.
But he can't, Púyāo is possible!
Thinking of this, he ignored Xu Qing and quickly rushed into Dan Fang's room.
As soon as he entered Dan Fang, Zuo Mo immediately entered Shi Hai, where Pu Yao was leisurely listening to the sound of the jade pendant.
"Po, is it you who made the white daytime star appear?" Zu Mo felt his own voice trembling.
"Me?" The plant demon didn't even lift an eyebrow and shook its head very curtly: "No!"
Zuo Mo let out a breath of relief. Pu Yao had many bad habits, but he never avoided admitting when he did something wrong.
But Pu Yao's next sentence scared Zuo Mo half to death: "It wasn't me, it was you!"
"Me?" Zuo Mo pointed at his own nose, asking foolishly.
"Hmph, some dead guy needs star power and borrows your body." Pú Yāo said with a hint of schadenfreude: "I told you so back then, you've gone too far this time."
Zuo Mo heard a faint voice from amidst the clouds and mist, slowly and vaguely saying: "You're saying there's someone else here?"
Before Pu Yao could respond, Zuo Mo heard someone knocking on the door: "Senior Brother, the sect leader requests your presence at Wu Kong Hall. The guest wishes to see you!"
Zuo Mo felt as if all his strength had been sucked out of him in an instant.
