Xu Fan looked dejectedly at the black dregs in the pill furnace, feeling extremely depressed in his heart.

Without a doubt, he had failed his first time concocting pills! A few Spirit Accumulating Grass and Spirit Guiding Grass were also lost.

The failure this time made the joy in his heart from successfully purifying the herbs disappear. It also made Xu Fan realize that purifying the pills was far more complicated than purifying them. He couldn't feel any self-satisfaction anymore.

"Ah … I was so careful and yet got crippled …"

Xu Fan looked at the black dregs in the pill furnace and let out a long sigh.

Even though Xu Fan didn't expect to be able to successfully refine a pill once, even though failure was within his expectations, this failure still made him slightly disappointed.

In fact, for a cultivator who was concocting pills for the first time, it was basically impossible for him to succeed on his first attempt at concocting pills in one go. Even someone as strong as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator or an Aurous Core stage cultivator, or someone with exceptional talent, would find it difficult to do so, let alone a 3rd level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator like Xu Fan.

Alchemy required not only the cultivator's mana, spiritual strength, control, and other various strengths, but also the method and technique to concoct the pills. He had to go through countless experiments and failures, using failure as a stepping stone, and constantly learning from his failures. Only then would he gradually grasp the method to concoct pills, increasing his chances of success.

At the end of the day, there was still a process of practice in pill refining. Thus, most alchemists would rely on large amounts of spirit stones and herbs to build their base step by step. This was also the reason why refining pills was equivalent to burning away money.

Xu Fan sighed for a moment, then quickly sat down to meditate to recover his true essence and spirit energy. The Qi Cultivation Powder trial just now had consumed a large amount of his spirit energy and soul energy. With Xu Fan's current strength, concocting even a single batch of medicinal pills would be a bit difficult. There was no way for him to continuously concoct pills.

Two hours passed.

After Xu Fan had returned to his peak state, he began to quietly ponder over and sum up his experience from his first failure in concocting pills.

Xu Fan was disappointed by the failure, but he wasn't angry. After all, this was his first time concocting pills, and he had already reached the final step. In reality, he was already very satisfied.

In addition, he had prepared roughly fifteen sets of materials for refining Qi Cultivating Pills. In addition, this fellow's Primal Chaos Seven Stars Tower was also filled with many spiritual herbs, so he naturally didn't have to worry about the lack of materials for the time being. As for ordinary supplementary materials, he could buy them from the medicine store in the city, so Xu Fan wasn't afraid of wasting any of them and was completely confident in being able to refine Qi Cultivating Pills.

"..."

In Yan Xia, ever since Liu Da Feng saw the mysterious old master that day, his heart had always been at a loss.

At this moment, she was sitting at home in a daze. She recalled the scene when she saw the old master and couldn't understand why the old master seemed so indifferent and indifferent to his death even though her father and daughter had become servants.

In the days that she had spent with Xu Fan, Liu Da Feng felt that her life had been very relaxed and happy. This young master, who had once thought that he was useless, didn't put up with her at all.

Liu Dafeng had always been a straightforward person. A person who had no shrewdness or shrewdness, she felt that this young master was truly worthy of her following. Only a master like her could make her admire and respect him.

"Whatever, I'll just follow the young master anyway. It's not wrong to listen to the young master."

Liu Da Feng thought about Xu Fan personally burying his father and kneeling in front of his father's grave. She thought about how Xu Fan had taught her cultivation methods, how Xu Fan had even taught her how to use those powerful weapons. She thought about Xu Fan's unreserved trust in her.

"I, Liu Dafeng, will only be young master's maid from now on, not the servant of the Xu Family!"

Liu Da Feng's expression immediately became resolute. She stood up and silently walked towards the auction house and medicine store. She wanted to help Xu Fan collect more spiritual herbs and herbs.

"..."

The mountain did not know the day, and there was no sun or moon in the cave.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fan had been hiding in the stone room refining pills for three days and three nights.

On this day, from a cave at the foot of the mountain outside the Yan Xia City came a voice filled with ecstasy.

"Haha …" "Ha, I did it! I finally did it! I finally did it!"

In a simple stone chamber, a rich pill fragrance permeated the entire stone chamber.

At this moment, a handsome young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen was looking at the pill furnace in front of him with a wild joy. He was so excited that his eyes were slightly red, and the sweat on his forehead and his tired body did not affect his joy in the slightest.

This young man is none other than our great Immortal Xu Fan!

After repeated failures and seeing the ingredients turn black in the furnace, Xu Fan was already numb to it. It wasn't until he finished refining the final portion of the fifteenth powder that he finally succeeded in refining the first furnace.

In other words, in the past few days, he had refined a total of fifteen batches of pills. However, in the end, he only managed to refine one batch, and the success rate was less than ten percent.

Even so, Xu Fan was still extremely excited. After all, this was his work as a virgin.

But then again, a rookie like Xu Fan was actually able to refine a batch of pills on his own using the « Heavenly Mysterious Pill Scripture » and the « Beginner Alchemy Art ». He could be considered a genius.

Inside the pill furnace, there were a total of 23 shiny pills the size of soybeans lying on the floor. Judging from the quantity, this pill was pretty good!

Among them, fifteen of them were light green in color and crystal clear. Their bodies had a layer of faint light flowing through them. It was obvious that they were finished; the remaining five were of inferior quality. The remaining three pellets were pitch black. It was obvious that these three pellets were trash.

"Mm, I'm still missing the final step. The final step of using the 81 types of grand hand seals to refine pills seems to have been forgotten by me!"

With that thought, Xu Fan used his divine sense to cause the 23 pills to float up from the pill furnace.

"Forty-nine types of Tempering Pill Palm!"

Xu Fan let out a low roar. His soul power along with the power of his fleshly body all poured into his right palm. Then, his entire body began to revolve around the medicinal pills as he continuously struck out with his palm. His palm struck out and formed a distinct and solid hand seal. It was obviously the forty-nine moves of the Core Tempering Palm!

Xu Fan's speed was astonishing. The first palm strike hadn't even disappeared. The second, the third, and the fourth had already appeared.

Attack, retract!

Congealing Seal, Scattering Seal!

He made another palm strike, retracted it, condensed another seal, and dissipated it!

His entire action was as smooth as flowing water, continuous and uninterrupted.

"..."

When Xu Fan struck out with his twentieth palm strike, the medicinal pills suddenly dimmed. The pills shrunk in size, as if they had been recondensed under the power of his palm.

However, this time, there was a change. A strong suction force came from the pill and the Qi in the air was sucked into the pill.

Seeing this, Xu Fan was overjoyed. He clapped three more times. At this time, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had already formed a huge funnel shape, and the source was the elixirs.

As the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was absorbed by the pellets, the pellets also underwent an obvious change. The dim halo suddenly lit up.

"The fragrance of the medicinal pills seems to be getting stronger and stronger …"

Xu Fan was overjoyed. His palm continued to strike.

However, after Xu Fan unleashed the thirty-sixth Core Tempering Palm, the power to form the palm print was already insufficient. Helpless, Xu Fan could only forcefully withdraw it.

At this moment, among the twenty-three pills, aside from the three that didn't change much, the remaining twenty had undergone a drastic change. Not only did the pills become more crystalline, the spiritual energy waves emitted by each pill had more than doubled.

Xu Fan's mind stirred. He took out three jade bottles from the tower, then began using the last pill collection technique. He then accurately sent the fifteen pills into the jade bottle.

After that, he used the other two pill bottles to store the five slightly inferior medicinal pills and the three black medicinal pills at the same time.

After doing all of this, Xu Fan contentedly poured out a pill and carefully admired it.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xu Fan was surprised to find that the Qi Cultivating Powder he had refined was much stronger than the Qi Cultivating Powder he had consumed before. It seemed to have a stronger spiritual energy, stronger fragrance, and a much better quality.

"High-tier pill?"

Xu Fan's eyes were wide open. From the pill's description, he could already be certain that the Qi Training Powder he had refined was definitely not a low-grade pill.

Pills were divided into grades and grades. Pills of the same grade were divided into top grade, top grade, middle grade, and lower grade. The grades were different, and the effects and effects varied greatly.

Similarly, given the different grades of medicinal herbs, the medicinal properties and effects of the medicinal pills would be vastly different as well.

Xu Fan found the description of the high-grade medicinal pills from the « Mysterious Sky Supreme Alchemy Scripture » and carefully compared it with the pills he had refined. Finally, he was convinced that the Qi Training Powder he had refined this time could be considered a high-grade medicinal pill.

"Haha …" Ha! F * ck, once I fail, I'm done. 10% is too shocking! "I never thought that I would be able to produce a high-level Qi Cultivating Powder all of a sudden … Could it be that I am really a genius in pill refining?"

Xu Fan happily scratched his head and rubbed his nose. For him to be able to concoct high quality pills in one go after only a few days of research and study, this guy truly believed him to be a genius at concocting pills.

In reality, Xu Fan didn't know that the reason he was able to refine a pill for the first time was because of the high-level Qi Cultivating Powder. This had nothing to do with whether he was a genius or not. Actually, this was mainly due to this fellow using the mysterious pill refining methods he had learned from the 'Mysterious Sky Supreme Pill Scripture', especially the 'Forty-nine Tempering Pill Palms' of the 'Eighty-One Great Pill Formulae'.

Using the supreme ancient pill techniques to refine the lowest level Qi Cultivating Powder was simply a waste. Fortunately, Xu Fan could only barely form thirty-six moves, and if this guy could use all forty-nine types of Core Tempering Palm and thirty-two types of Core Tempering Finger, then the grade of this pill wouldn't just be just that of a high-grade pill.

In addition, there was another important reason. The herbs used to concoct the pills were all Spirit Accumulating Grass and Spirit Accumulating Grass. With these two factors, if Xu Fan still wasn't able to concoct high quality pills, then he would truly be a waste.

In reality, if it was an alchemist who concocted pills, it would not be strange for him to concoct the top-grade Qi Training Powder.

"..."

Xu Fan excitedly put away the high-quality pills, then looked at the five not-so-good looking pills. He discovered that although the quality and appearance of these five Qi Training Pills couldn't compare to those fifteen, they were still much better than the low quality pills he had used before. Their quality had already reached the middle quality pills.

"Right now, the Spirit Accumulating Grass and Spirit Guiding Grass have all been consumed. The newly planted two spirit herbs in the tower have too little time, and it will take at least a month for them to mature. Currently, we have the Body Refinement Liquid and twenty Qi Training Powder, which should be enough for us to use for a month. However, the success rate is still a little low, so we'll need a lot of practice. I wonder if Big Sister Da Feng has had any gains in the next few days. "

Xu Fan thought to himself. Because he had the Body Refining Liquid and Qi Cultivating Powder, he was becoming more and more confident in his own path of cultivation.

Next, Xu Fan ate some food and leisurely drank some wine.

Enjoy life and never treat yourself unfairly. This has always been the principle of this fellow.

For the past few days, he had been refining pills with great intensity, and his mind was extremely tense. Xu Fan already felt like he couldn't bear it any longer. After filling his stomach, Xu Fan sat down in meditation to recover the spirit energy and soul energy that he had consumed to concoct the pill.

Two hours later, Xu Fan's true essence and soul power had completely recovered to their peak condition. Xu Fan carefully felt his true essence and spirit power, and his face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

After concocting pills day and night for a few days, Xu Fan was surprised to find that the true essence spirit power within his dantian and the strength of his soul had both increased by a bit. The increase in his soul's strength was even more obvious.

Through his Divine Sense, Xu Fan could clearly feel that his Divine Sense that was originally seventy or eighty feet tall had now increased to thirty feet, which meant that it had increased by a full three levels.

"NND, I didn't expect to get such a harvest after refining a pill. Refining pills is really a good way to cultivate spiritual sense, killing two birds with one stone!" It seems like I have to refine more in the future! "

Xu Fan secretly decided. In fact, he understood this very clearly. During the past few days of refining pills, his true essence, spiritual force, and soul power had been constantly being consumed and recovered.

It was just like the athletes in this guy's previous life. Only by continuously exercising would they be able to continuously raise the limits of their body.

After returning to his peak state, Xu Fan's heart also warmed.

Breaking through to the first layer of the Brahma Monarch Star Body Tempering Technique was something he had been waiting for for for a long time. Although he didn't know how much it would increase his strength, he believed that it would definitely bring him a pleasant surprise.

"I wonder if breaking through the first level will help the《 Exhibition Golden Arts》 to break through? Regardless, there was no way he could break through to the next level in the 'Golden Ode of Exhibition'. He might as well first cultivate this body forging technique. Didn't that scripture say that once one reached mastery, they could destroy the world and rule the world? "Yes, since the book says that the Brahma Monarch's Stars Body Tempering Scripture is so mysterious, I am looking forward to breaking through to the first level …"

After successfully refining a batch of Qi Cultivating Pills, Xu Fan had originally planned to go look for Liu Dafeng, but this fellow was still concerned about breaking through. In the end, he decided to first break through to the first level of the Brahma Monarch's Stellar Body Tempering Scripture before leaving.

The next moment.

Xu Fan used his divine sense and a huge steel barrel appeared in the stone room.

This metal barrel was specially made by Xu Fan when he was manufacturing bombs in the Wu family weapon store. It was specifically used to store things such as Body Tempering Liquid and Body Tempering Arts. This large metal barrel was somewhat similar to Xu Fan's bathtub from his previous life. Xu Fan poured all of the Body Refining Liquid he had refined a few days ago into the large metal barrel, then took off all of his clothes and jumped into the barrel naked.

"Hiss!"

As soon as he entered the metal barrel, Xu Fan couldn't help but moan in a low voice.

The Body Refining Liquid was refined from various spiritual medicines, and had a powerful medicinal strength and spirit energy. Once his body entered the medicinal liquid, Xu Fan felt his entire body become numb and itchy, as well as a bit of pain. Traces of medicinal power and spirit energy entered his meridians through his pores.

"With the assistance of the Body Refining Liquid, it is indeed much stronger than the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that is absorbed solely by cultivation methods. If I were to absorb the medicinal strength and Spiritual Qi from the Body Tempering Liquid into my body, my body should be much stronger, right?"

Xu Fan's mind flashed with a thought. Although it was his first time using the body forging technique, he had still comprehended a bit of its essence.

There were many types of body forging technique, and different body forging techniques had different effects. For example, the Brahma Monarch Body Tempering Technique Xu Fan cultivated was the supreme body forging technique of the ancient era.

But no matter what kind of body forging technique it was, the most basic of it all was the same. It was to constantly strengthen the body and pursue the extreme strength of the body, using the body as the medium, communicating with the world through the body.

As a fundamental cultivator, only when one's physical body was strong to a certain degree would they be able to use all kinds of powerful spells and abilities. As a fundamental cultivator, only when their physical body was strong to a certain degree would they be able to use all kinds of powerful spells and abilities.

However, the current Xu Fan still couldn't understand this. The only thing he knew was that by cultivating the body forging technique, he could increase his strength and the toughness of his meridians and dantian. Then he could continue to increase his dantian's capacity to contain true essence.

Therefore, the body forging technique, to put it simply, was the body forging technique!

However, this [Brahma Monarch Star Body Tempering] was different from other normal body tempering cultivation techniques. Its core was to refine the body like a magical treasure, to hammer, to continuously temper, and to continuously open the acupoints of the body.

Just like a piece of steel, it would only become tougher after being hammered countless times. This was the so-called 'hundred times refined into steel'. Cultivating one of the core parts of the Brahma Monarch's Astral Body Tempering Scripture was one of these principles!

"..."

Of course, any cultivation technique was a gradual process, and it was impossible to practice it in one go.

It was impossible to forge a body from the start. After all, a human's body was extremely fragile. Not to mention hammering it countless times, it would only take a hundred blows to kill a person.

Therefore, the first thing to do before cultivating was to lay the foundation!

For example, before forging, one had to make a good embryo. Without a good embryo, one would not be able to make the perfect steel. Before he began to train in the body forging technique, he also needed to make some preparations, and that preparation was — laying the foundation.

Through laying the foundation, one's potential would be gradually unearthed, allowing the human body to have an even more powerful toughness and recovery ability. Only in this way would one be able to complete the shockingly harsh body forging technique.

In addition, during the process of practicing the Brahma Monarch's Body Tempering Scripture, he would have to constantly absorb the energy of the world to open up his body's acupoints, in order to store more Fa Li to strengthen his body.

A normal body forging technique usually absorbed the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth to temper the body. But the 'Brahma Monarch Stars Body Tempering Scripture' was not only able to absorb the spiritual energy of the world, but it could also absorb the energy of the sun, moon, and stars to strengthen the body.

The human body was a massive treasure trove. As long as one could find the key to this treasure, they would be able to obtain incredible strength. The heavens and earth were the universe, and the human body was the small universe. To Xu Fan, the [Brahma Monarch Stars Body Tempering Scripture] was undoubtedly the key to opening his own treasure!

The human body was indeed the most suitable physique to cultivate in this world. Not only did it contain the five elements, but the meridians and acupoints within the human body were extremely profound and could even match the stars and the sun.

With regards to the perception and absorption of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and the power of the stars, the human body was endowed with an extraordinary talent.

The human body was mysterious. Ordinary people would never know how many mysteries a human body possessed. The heaven and earth was a large universe, and the human body was a small universe.

Everything in Heaven and Earth was reincarnated.

In the practice method, the human body has 12 "serious" meridians (in fact, there are a total of 24 left and right symmetries).

In addition, the front side of the body had "Ren Meridian", the back side of the body had "Du Meridian", each had a special meridian that ran through the entire body. These 14 meridians included the human body's nine major origin acupoints, eighteen main natal acupoints, thirty-six days, seventy-two earth acupoints, one hundred and forty-four profound acupoints, and seventy-six other acupoints.

The total number of acupoints in the human body was three hundred and sixty-five. This was the main acupoint of the human body, and these acupoints controlled the most active activities of the human body. It was the ancestor of life, the meeting of yin and yang, and the source of vitality.

In addition, there were also countless small acupoints, totalling 129,650.

Amongst the three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints in the human body, the most miraculous were the three major acupoints, known as the upper, middle, and lower dantian. With the existence of the Dantian, it meant that he could conceal his essence, energy, and divine.

Thus, among cultivators, there were dantian and Zifu, which were used to store primeval essence for the aurous core and nascent soul to live in. With this, one would have the foundation of cultivation.

The Upper Dantian was also known as the Violet Palace, which was also known as the Niwan Palace, Sea of Consciousness, Upper Field, Spiritual Altar, Upper Palace, Heavenly Palace, Karakorum, Mount Yujing, Mount Xumi, and so on. Between the eyebrows, one inch for the bright hall, two inches for the cave room, three inches for the upper dantian. The upper dantian was a acupoint in the void, and the Innate True God was hidden within. After the pill was formed, this place would become a place to exude the gods.

There were two ways of speaking about the Zifu. The first was for the palaces and realms where external Immortals resided. The second was for the inner workings of the Dao of Immortal cultivation.

Jin Ge Hong, "Pu Zi to dispel his doubts": "In the sky, first pass Zifu, gold bed jade, Yu Yu Yu, really expensive." Former Shu Chenghu's "Fellow Daoist of Heaven's Altar" poem: "The Violet Palace is not far, the Clear Stream Road is not pedantic."

This was the most mysterious and important place in the human body, and it was also the place where the gods were hidden. It was also the most important place for cultivators, and the Violet Palace had the soul of a cultivator; if the Violet Palace was injured or ruptured, the cultivators' souls would scatter and fall into the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, cultivators also attached great importance to cultivation. This was the entrance to the path of cultivation, the foundation of cultivation. It was also called the Ancestral Awakening, Ancestral Qi.

The central dantian is the place where the heart is located. It is the place where the heart is cultivated from the 12th floor to the Yellow Mansion. The heart is represented by the cow-man, and the liver, gallbladder and spleen are all dedicated to the cultivation of the heart fields.

The lower dantian, or the true dantian, or the Qi Sea, was three inches below the navel. It was generally called the Qi Sea and was where the life was hidden.

No matter how much spiritual or magical power was converted by the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that cultivators refined, it would eventually enter the lower dantian and gather in the Qi Sea. Once the true essence and spirit energy in the dantian have gathered to a certain degree, the inner qi and energy will reach a state where they can interact with each other and form a force field in the dantian, which will communicate with the circulation of the universe. Cultivators can then rely on the true essence and spirit energy in the dantian to release the power of the heaven and earth.

"..."
