Under Li Mu's command, the puppet spider moved flexibly around the two people with its eight legs. The next moment, the puppet spider flashed and suddenly disappeared, leaving a faint trace of time and space distortion on the spot. Then, it As if integrated into the space, it instantly appeared hundreds of feet away, flickered again, and appeared in another location, so fast that it was dazzling and difficult to see with the naked eye.
"What a benefit! Master, the small time and space shuttle array embedded in this puppet spider is so exquisite. Coupled with the speed of the puppet spider, it is hard to guard against!" Mingyue's eyes flashed with amazement, and she praised. .
"Indeed, the speed and concealment of this puppet spider are really good, but its level is a bit lower. If it wants to pose a threat to the Void Refining monks, or even higher-level monks, it is still slightly insufficient!" Li Mu smiled, slightly dissatisfied.
"Master, have you got a new idea?" Mingyue was extremely smart and immediately noticed the deep meaning of Li Mu's words.
"Not bad!" Li Mu looked at Mingyue with deep eyes and nodded: "I need you to cooperate with me to refine a batch of more puppet spiders like this, and improve them on this basis; and set up some hidden auras. Puppet formations to enhance their concealment; secondly, try to incorporate some defensive formations, so that even if they cannot directly confront powerful enemies, they must be able to protect themselves at critical moments; and add some explosiveness..."
"This sounds like a huge challenge, but Mingyue is willing to give it a try!" Mingyue's eyes flashed with excitement. For the Puppet Spirit, nothing excites her more than creating a powerful puppet work.
So, the two began to divide work and cooperate. Li Mu was responsible for designing the new magic circle and the structural improvement plan for the puppet spider, while Mingyue was responsible for refining the puppet body according to Li Mu's design drawings. Li Mu's design Translates perfectly into reality.
As time goes by, batches of improved puppet spiders gradually take shape. Not only did they retain their original ability to travel through time and space, they also made a qualitative leap in concealment, defense and explosive power.
A few months later, while Li Mu and Mingyue were immersed in refining the puppet army, a long bell rang from above the Huajiebao Mansion, breaking the tranquility in the mansion.
Ming Yue stopped her refining work and looked at Li Mu, with a trace of questioning flashing in her eyes.
"We have a visitor, please continue your work!" Li Mu smiled slightly. He had been in seclusion in Bao Mansion for a long time and paid little attention to the outside world, but the arrival of Qing Yangzi was obviously an exception.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu's figure flashed and disappeared into the treasure house.
Not long after, Li Mu appeared outside the hospital. When the formation opened, he saw a figure in a green shirt standing with his hands behind his back. It was Qingyangzi. He was smiling and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Sect Master, you are well! You live in seclusion here, you are so free!" Qingyangzi looked at Li Mu and laughed, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Senior, come in and talk!" Li Mu smiled slightly, probably understanding Qingyangzi's intention.
"Okay!" Qingyangzi nodded, and with a movement of his body, he followed Li Mubu into the hospital.
The two sat at the stone table. Li Mu brewed a pot of spiritual tea with his own hands. The tea was fragrant and the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
"Sect Master, someone from Wanbao Pavilion has recently sent someone to look for me. In addition, Xuantian Sword Sect also sent someone to look for me." Qingyangzi took a sip of tea and looked at Li Mu and asked with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Li Mu showed a look of assurance on his face, and then a trace of apology appeared on his face.
"Senior, this is my fault!" Li Mu quickly admitted frankly and said apologetically: "I took out a batch of Dao pills that I personally refined, but they asked about the source of the Dao pills. In desperation, Li I told my senior’s name. Originally, I should have told him immediately, but I was busy and forgot about it when I came back recently.”
Hearing this, Qingyangzi was slightly stunned at first, then he laughed dumbly, waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, it's a helpless move for the sect leader. Besides, I have a false reputation, and it doesn't hurt to be borrowed from time to time. However, the Tao they want I don’t know how to refine pills!”
Qingyangzi paused, took a sip of tea, looked at Li Mu with a deep look, and asked curiously: “Sect master, is there any leftover refined Dao pills?” , can you take a look at it?"
"Of course it's no problem." Li Mu nodded happily, waved his hand, and took out four bottles of elixir from the Tianxuan Ring.
“Guixu Pill, Qianshou Pill, Wanling Pill, Tianxing Pill, these four Taoist pills, except that Guixu Pill is refined by the method taught by the predecessors, the other three Taoist pills are refined by the new method. !" Li Mu smiled slightly and looked at Qingyangzi and introduced.
Listen! A trace of surprise and surprise flashed in Qingyangzi's eyes. He quickly stood up, took the four bottles of elixir handed over by Li Mu, opened the cap of one of the bottles, poured out one elixir, and carefully examined its quality.
I saw that a round Guixu Pill fell into the palm of Qingyangzi. The surface was filled with rich medicinal spirit, exuding golden luster, and the pill pattern was clearly visible. It was like a naturally carved work of art, revealing a mysterious and uncertain atmosphere. breath.
"Guixu Dan is an excellent elixir to assist in condensing the bottleneck of the Void Refining Domain. The one you refined has mellow medicinal properties and excellent elixir texture. It is almost perfect. It shows that you have I have a deep understanding and mastery of the alchemy method of Guixu Dan." Qingyangzi was filled with admiration and looked at Li Mu with eyes filled with joy.
Then, Qingyangzi turned his attention to another elixir bottle and poured out the elixir in the bottle. He suddenly became energetic and stretched out his hand to gently pinch it. He saw that the surface of this elixir was covered with A layer of rich green mist contains endless vitality and vitality. The elixir pattern is delicate and complex, just like the veins of nature, exuding an otherworldly atmosphere.
"This, how could this Dao Pill be like this?" Qingyangzi was confused, his eyes were shining brightly, staring at the body of the pill, his consciousness over and over again, without scanning, trying to get a glimpse of the pill. Prescriptions, as well as alchemy techniques.
"Sect Master, is this elixir refined? Why is the structure so weird and strange?" Qingyangzi asked with a bit of urgency and disbelief in his tone.
Li Mu smiled slightly, with a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, and said slowly: "Senior, don't worry, this elixir was indeed refined by me. It is made from a new alchemy method that I recently tried. The core of it is that a large amount of The sixth level of single elixir - Yanyuan Lingcao, maximizes the extraction and integration of the medicinal properties and vitality of each elixir. "
"How is this done? How to refine a single elixir? Cheng Dan, and it is also a seventh-level Dao Dan, this is impossible!" Qingyangzi shook his head in disbelief, his eyes locked on the Thousand Life Pill in his hand, as if he wanted to see through it.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and explained: "Senior, I don't know. I have recently made a breakthrough in alchemy. Combined with the weapon refining technique, I tried an alchemy called 'Dragon Fusion' New method. This method finely divides the condensation patterns of the medicinal properties in the elixir so that they can blend with each other according to specific rules in the elixir furnace, thereby stimulating unprecedented medicinal effects. ”
“ Dan pattern fusion?" Qingyangzi murmured to himself, with a thoughtful look on his face. "Yes, senior." Li Mu nodded and continued, "When refining this elixir, I extracted thousands of sixth-order Yanyuan spiritual grasses, and used the fusion technique of elixir patterns to fuse each spiritual grass into The medicinal properties and vitality of the medicine were refined to the extreme. Then, I arranged these medicinal properties one by one according to a special pattern, and finally formed this unique elixir."
After Qingyangzi heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"How effective is this elixir?" Qingyangzi asked curiously
Li Mu smiled slightly and said confidently: "Senior, this elixir is called 'Qianshou Dan', and its efficacy is It is far superior to ordinary seventh-level Tao elixirs. Taking this elixir can not only extend your life span for thousands of years, but also nourish your vitality, enhance your cultivation, and even help to break through bottlenecks."
Qingyang. When Zi heard this, a blazing light flashed in his eyes. He knew very well what longevity meant to a cultivator in the world of cultivation. A pill that can prolong life for thousands of years is undoubtedly a rare treasure.
"Sect Master, your alchemy skills are really amazing." Qingyangzi admired sincerely. His eyes when he looked at Li Mu were full of admiration and expectation.
Li Mu smiled humbly and said: "Thank you, senior. I have only just begun to get a glimpse of alchemy. There is still a long way to go in the future."
Qingyangzi nodded, with a look in his eyes. With a flash of thought, he slowly spoke after a moment: "Sect Master, could you let me see your alchemy method of 'alchemy fusion' with my own eyes? I also have a lot of research on the method of alchemy, maybe I can learn from it. Some inspiration.”
“That’s all right!” Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded happily.
"Senior, please follow me. Li will practice for senior right now."
With that said, Li Mu led Qingyangzi to the alchemy room next to the small courtyard.
In the alchemy workshop, the fire was blazing, and Li Mu began to get busy. He summoned a batch of sixth-level spiritual grass - Mou Xing Spirit Grass, nearly a thousand plants, from the Tianxuan Ring. He made a secret with both hands to condense a ball of five elements spiritual fire...
Qingyangzi stood quietly aside, following Li Mu's movements with his eyes, and was slightly startled when he saw the sixth-level spiritual grass he had summoned - Mou Xing Spiritual Grass.
Based on thousands of years of experience in alchemy, it can be confirmed that the Mouxing Lingcao used by Li Mu to refine Tao Dan has quality problems. Although they are mature, their medicinal properties are defective and incomplete. If spiritual grass is used to refine high-level elixirs, the success rate is extremely low, let alone refining a seventh-level or higher Tao elixir. However, the amount of spiritual grass consumed in refining this elixir is too much.
However, Qingyangzi saw that Li Mu looked calm and showed no signs of worry. He couldn't help but become more curious, wanting to see what methods Li Mu could use to turn decay into magic.
I saw that Li Mu skillfully placed the Mou Xing Spirit Grass on the Five Elements Spiritual Fire one by one. The medicinal properties were refined one by one and tempered. After a while, drop by drop of the essence of the elixir emerged, Not long after, Li Mu pinched the magic formula with his hand, and poured in the spiritual power one after another, condensing the spiritual patterns in the essence of the elixir.
The next moment, a massive amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth poured into the alchemy furnace from all directions. The spiritual patterns inside the elixir essence seemed to be activated and began to shine with dazzling light. There was a wonderful resonance and linkage between them. Under Li Mu's careful control, , they slowly interweave and merge, forming a complex and exquisite pattern, like the most exquisite tapestry between heaven and earth.
Qingyangzi was stunned. He had never seen such a magical scene.
Those refined essences of Mou Xing Ling Cao were endowed with such extraordinary vitality in Li Mu’s hands, as if they contained a world, and now, these worlds are being skillfully woven together to give birth to the world. A peerless elixir.
With the fusion of the essence of the elixir and the spiritual patterns, the atmosphere in the alchemy furnace became more and more tense and sacred. The spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered faster and faster, almost forming a whirlpool visible to the naked eye, turning the alchemy furnace. Wrapped tightly in it.
I saw that Li Mu quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something in his mouth. A stream of chaotic mana surged out of his body and directly acted on the alchemy furnace. He used the alchemy magical power - 'Melting Alchemy Path'. Alchemy.
The essence of nearly a thousand sixth-level Mou Xing spiritual grasses has undergone a transformation under the baking and tempering of the chaotic spiritual fire. The powerful medicinal properties contained in the spiritual grasses are being refined one by one at this moment, continuously gathering and shrinking. Form a rotating vortex of liquid medicine.
Li Mu concentrated on controlling the spiritual fire in the furnace, constantly changing the seals on his hands, constantly injecting the power of chaos into it.
Ordinary alchemy requires perfecting many steps such as quenching the elixir, melting the properties of the medicine, accumulating the elixir spirit, condensing the elixir pattern, transforming the elixir power, and forming the elixir shape, etc., in order to refine the high-quality elixir.
With Li Mu's spell, the essence of the elixir in the alchemy furnace was mixed together, and the spiritual pattern began to tremble violently, transforming into a small black hole, frantically absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and gradually taking shape...
The next moment, Li Mu opened his mind fully, using his heart as a guide and his spirit as a medium, he slowly integrated the Taoist principles of spiritual transformation into the vortex of the medicinal liquid. As the Taoist principles merged, the vortex of the medicinal liquid began. Dramatic changes occurred,...,
In the elixir furnace, the spiritual fire gradually extinguished. A elixir the size of a dragon's eye, emitting rich silver starlight, slowly rotated in the air. A series of elixir patterns were continuously formed on the surface of the elixir body, exuding rich medicinal power. For a moment, the world changed. The color is revealed, and a massive amount of spiritual power comes together.
Suddenly, Li Mu gave a loud drink and slapped the lid of the alchemy furnace with both hands at the same time. With a deafening roar, the furnace lid was opened by a powerful force, and a strong medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire place. The alchemy room makes people feel refreshed when they hear it.
Under the fragrance of medicine, a round and full elixir exuding rich starlight slowly rose from the alchemy furnace and suspended in the air.
On this elixir, the spiritual patterns are complex and mysterious, seeming to contain the truth of heaven and earth. The next moment, a strong pressure arose in the sky, and the will of heaven and earth seemed to awaken at this moment. The thick clouds They quickly gathered in the sky above the alchemy room. Dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and a heart-stopping pressure fell from the sky, covering the entire courtyard.
“Alchemy Tribulation?” Qingyangzi exclaimed in surprise. Only by refining a seventh-level Taoist elixir that transcends the conventional ones will it lead to a test of the will of heaven and earth - the Dangyang Tribulation.
"This, this is a pill!" Qingyangzi took a deep breath and couldn't believe the scene in front of him. However, with the facts in front of him, he couldn't believe it.
"It's done!" Li Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, with a satisfied smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, he activated the concealing magic circle arranged in the small courtyard, and resolved the birth of the Danjie. The elixir fell steadily into his palm, exuding a soft light, warm and peaceful.
Looking at this scene, Qingyangzi's pupils shrank, and he turned to look at Li Mu with eyes full of shock and awe. (End of this chapter)
