Three days passed in the blink of an eye, Qin Lingyuns hands formed a seal, demonstrating a series of hand seals in mid-air, with rays of spiritual light flashing at her fingertips. After finishing, she finally let out a long sigh and sat down on the stone chest to rest.

  "These three days with Murong Chenhais skeleton have been really suffocating. Fortunately, in these three days, Ive finally become familiar with the materials and methods for refining the Qi-Enhancing Pills. The Qi-Enhancing Pill, Huang Ling Dan, and Qing Kui Dan - these three types of pills that enhance cultivation are all higher in grade than the last, and their difficulty to refine also gradually increases. For now, it seems that as long as I can refine the lowest-grade Qi-Enhancing Pill, I should be able to advance to the fourth layer of Qi Refining."

  "Ive never refined Dan medicine before, and the success rate is unlikely to be high. Fortunately, there are nearly a hundred sets of refining Qi-increasing pills in my storage bag, so I can try slowly and believe that there will be a successful time." Qin Lingyun secretly encouraged herself.

  Input spiritual power into the storage bag, the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron appeared on the ground, in these three days, Qin Lingyun was already very familiar with it. The bottom of the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron had a spell array carved on it, and at the center of the spell array was placed a seed of True Sun Fire, which was used to refine elixirs.

  The lid of the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron is engraved with seven stars, hence its name. The true yang fire seed within can only be refined by a master who has entered the Golden Elixir stage and specializes in cultivating fire-type techniques.

  "Three stalks of Zi Yang Cao, one Huang Jiang Guo, a pinch of Pu Fen Hua...". Qin Lingyun muttered to herself as she simultaneously cast a complex hand seal: "True Yang Fire ignites, open the cauldron."

  The lid of the tripod slowly rose, suspended in mid-air three feet away from the body of the tripod. At the same time, a fiery red glow burst forth from the bottom of the tripod, and a large flame roared to life. Qin Lingyuns hand continuously poured spiritual energy into the tripod to control the size of the flames.

  With one hand, he picked up the purple sun grass beside him and threw it into the cauldron. With a sizzling sound, the flames transformed through the spell array, quickly dissolving the purple sun grass into a small cluster of medicinal liquid. The remaining impurities were all burned away, and a strange medicinal fragrance wafted out.

  Qin Lingyun continued to add medicinal materials, which were constantly transformed into a liquid medicine under the true fire refining, and fell into the fusion pill room above the cauldron.

  "Alright, the medicinal materials have all been purified and have entered the fusion chamber. Next is the most crucial step of fusing the materials together to form a pill. Generally, failures in alchemy occur at this stage."

  Qin Lingyun carefully controlled the fire of the True Sun, her spiritual power pouring into the cauldron in large quantities. Before long, fine beads of sweat had already begun to seep from her forehead.

  "How come the lid on top hasnt fallen down to cover it?" Qin Lingyun was puzzled, she carefully thought back and only then remembered that the opening cauldron hand technique had gone wrong by a tiny bit, just such an inconspicuous little bit, resulting in the cauldron lid still floating above the cauldron body.

  Qin Lingyun was worried that the alchemy would fail, so in her anxiety, she stretched out her left hand to grab the cauldron lid. At this moment, the seven stars on top of the lid shone with a fiery red light, and the seven stars merged into one piece, flashing out a red light blade.

  Qin Lingyun hastily withdrew her hand, but the red light blade had already swept across her fingertips, and a drop of fresh blood fell down.

  In an instant, Qin Lingyun saw that the blood flowing out of her body was actually shining with a faint purple glow. Her blood was no longer red, but a pale red mixed with a light purple color!

  This small drop of blood dripped from the small hole on the lid of the cauldron into the melting dan room inside the cauldron, and at the same time, the lid fell down, just covering the cauldron tightly.

  Qin Lingyun secretly smiled wryly: "It seems that this tripod elixir has definitely failed. In Murong Henhais memory, generally, the first time a cultivator refines an elixir, they almost always fail 100%. It can only be blamed on my lack of experience, and when it came to actually doing it, deviations appeared."

  Refining the elixir cannot tolerate even half a point of impurities, Qin Lingyuns blood is useless impurities for refining the elixir, entering the medicinal liquid, almost 100% will cause the refinement to fail.

  The total number of hand gestures for opening the furnace is three hundred and sixty, each gesture must be accompanied by a mouthful, and there cannot be any slight mistake, otherwise it will lead to unpredictable deviations, resulting in failure to refine the elixir. This is Murong Henghais experience.

  At this time, the fusion of the elixir had already begun. This process would take a very long time. Qin Lingyu only needed to input a tiny amount of spiritual energy to keep the True Yang Fire stable and didnt need to exhaust her mind controlling the fire timing anymore.

  She withdrew her right hand after injecting a small amount of spiritual energy, and in just this short period of time, the spiritual energy inside her body had already been consumed greatly. Qin Lingyun sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to let her spiritual energy recover slowly.

  A fragrant time passed, Qin Lingyun recovered some of her spiritual power, and the feeling of fatigue retreated a lot. It was only then that she opened her eyes to look at her fingers.

  The physique of the master far surpasses that of ordinary people. Although there was a wound on the middle finger of his left hand, it not only healed in a short while, but also became so faint that it was almost invisible.

  "I didnt expect to trigger the Seven Star Sunfire Cauldrons attached spell, the Seven Star Sunfire Blade. Fortunately, it was only a small activation, with little power. If it were fully activated, the danger would be great...” Qin Lingyun bit her lip, her mind focused on the color of her own blood.

  "Whats even stranger is how did my blood get mixed with a light purple color?"

  Qin Lingyuns fingers formed a seal, and a sharp ice cone appeared before her eyes. She grasped the ice cone with her right hand and made a cut on her left finger, squeezing out a few drops of fresh blood, which she suspended in mid-air using her spiritual energy.

  Then the water-based spiritual power in his body flowed to the wound on his finger, and the wound actually healed at a visible speed.

  Qin Lingyun didnt pay attention to the wound, but instead cast her gaze towards the floating blood in mid-air. She was right, amidst the blood, a pale purple fluorescent light seemed to be pulsing with life, flashing rhythmically, giving off an ethereal feeling.

  Qin Lingyun recalled the wound from three days ago when she was bitten by the bloodthirsty lion beast, and the fresh blood that flowed out also had a faint purple glow, but it wasnt as dense as this time.

  "It seems that the purple color in my blood is getting thicker and thicker, I wonder if one day my blood will completely turn into purple? If so, can I still be considered human?" Qin Lingyun was a bit puzzled.

  "For now, it seems that hematoporphyrin doesnt have any bad effects on me, nor can I see any benefits, who knows what will happen in the future."

  Qin Lingyun continued to think for a while about the cause of this situation, and finally locked her target on the jade hairpin.

  "I thought the Emerald Hairpin had disappeared, but it turns out it has entered my sea of consciousness. The Emerald Hairpin easily shattered the primordial spirit of that old freak Muyong Henhai in the Congealing Dan stage. Its probably an extraordinary treasure... unfortunately, I wont be able to use it. My bloods greatest mutation is likely related to the Emerald Hairpin, but there could be other possibilities as well."

  Qin Lingyun waved her hand, and a few drops of blood vaporized and disappeared. She then inputted a small amount of spiritual energy into the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron again, before closing her eyes to quietly recover her spiritual energy.

  Feeling that the time was about right, Qin Lingyun finally stood up and walked two steps forward to the side of the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron, where she had already smelled the fragrance of the medicine.

  "Its about time, lets get started."

  Qin Lingyun had already lost hope, so when the cauldron was opened, she didnt have much anxiety.

  Currently, from the smell, it is impossible to judge whether it is a success or a failure. Whether the refining is successful or not, it will emit a strong medicinal fragrance.

  The finger seals, the hundred and twenty hand seals to open the cauldron were executed by Qin Lingyun in a smooth and continuous manner, without any hesitation or pause. The effect of this set of hand seals was not only to open the cauldron but also to stop the formation below, extinguishing the burning True Yang Fire and transforming it back into a True Yang Fire seed.

  A white mist enveloped the Seven Stars True Yang Cauldron, and a loud rumble was heard. The cauldron lid floated in mid-air, while the True Yang fire below gradually weakened until it was completely extinguished.

  The body of the Seven Stars True Yang Ding slightly trembled, emitting a low hum, and then a yellow light flew out from inside the ding.

  Qin Lingyuns eyesight was extremely good, she saw that the yellow light emitted from a small dan bead, which flew open in all directions in mid-air, although the speed was fast, but it couldnt escape Qin Lingyuns eyes.

  She suddenly turned into a phantom and rushed forward quickly, her hands together, and in no time, she had grasped all the elixir pills in her hand.

  This is the final step in refining the elixir, called "grasping the elixir". If the flying elixir is not caught, once it falls elsewhere and is picked up again, its spiritual nature will be greatly lost.

  Looking at the thirty-six elixirs emitting soft yellow light on her palms, Qin Lingyun almost couldnt believe her eyes.

  "It actually succeeded! How could the first elixir refinement be so smooth, it seems that luck is really extremely good."

  From Murong Chenhais storage bag, he took out a jade bottle, opened the seal, and put all 36 Qi-increasing Pills into it. Qin Lingyun couldnt help but smile at the corner of her mouth.

  "With the Qi Gathering Pill, I can absorb the power of the Dan medicine, break through the blockages in my meridians, and enter the fourth layer of Qi refinement. At that time, not only can my primordial spirit exit my body, but my divine sense can also be released externally. Moreover, I can refine the Qingling Sword, which is still lying on the ground outside. First, lets subdue the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast, then go out and retrieve the Qingling Sword, and leave this Sheng Wang Tomb. This place is too gloomy, filled with corpse energy everywhere, and the spiritual energy is too thin, making it very uncomfortable to stay here."

  Qin Lingyun struck out a series of hand seals, and the Seven Star Yang Fire Cauldron, which had returned to its original state, rapidly shrank in the misty air and entered into her storage bag.

  The quality of the storage bag is also different, Mu Rong Hen Hais storage bag has a higher grade and can hold more items. Qin Ling Yun took out the items from Li Hao Zes storage bag and put them into Mu Rong Hen Hais storage bag.

  "I now have three storage bags, I wont be using that many, Ill sell the extra ones at the market later."

  At this moment, the howling of the green-haired zombies outside has stopped. It seems that they have limited patience and have gone to rest in their stone coffins. In recent days, the wailing of the green-haired zombies had been quite disturbing, but now that it has stopped, Qin Lingyuns ears are much clearer.

  "Next is the top priority to take the Qi-enhancing pill, hoping everything goes smoothly." Qin Lingyuns clever eyes contained a hint of a smile.
