"Boom!"
In a small valley filled with water vapor, a dull low sound came out, and a huge figure seemed to be shaken by some powerful force and flew backwards, directly knocking down several towering trees along the way.
"Roar!"
Looking closely, the figure that was just knocked away turned out to be a hideous second-level monster, the Iron-haired Wolf.
As the name suggests, the hair on its body is like a steel blade. Even a strong fighter of the same level would find it difficult to break through its thick hair defense. It is not an easy task, however, such a strong body was knocked away by a punch from a human.
If you look closely, you will find that the place where the Iron-haired Wolf was hit, even the gray hair that is said to be as tough as steel, has been directly dented, and even pierced into its own flesh and blood, causing the Iron-haired Wolf, which is rarely injured, to feel great pain.
"Hehehe! Come on! Let's continue!"
In the valley, a figure with wings on his back fell from the sky. Who else could it be but Xiao Ping? At this moment, Xiao Ping's whole body was dyed green. It was obvious that in the past six months, he had already cultivated his heavenly-level fighting skill, Vajra Glazed Body, to a higher level. It was no longer the almost negligible state at the beginning.
"Let's see whether your iron hair is harder or my Vajra Fist is more powerful!"
Perhaps it was the unyielding will in his heart that took effect. In the past seven months, Xiao Ping's progress was also surprisingly fast. From the original plan of being promoted to a nine-star fighter within eight months, he broke through his own limit and spent only seven months. He has already stepped half a foot into the realm of fighting master. It seems that in half a month at most, he will be able to completely step into the realm of fighting master.
"Hu...Hu..."
Although he has reached the peak of nine-star fighters, the time to use the Vajra Glazed Body is still limited. In the previous battle, Xiao Ping has already spent more than half of the time limit.
"It is worthy of being a second-level magic beast equivalent to a five-star fighting master. It is really tough!"
Looking at the iron-haired wolf that got up again, Xiao Ping also smiled coldly. You know, with his current cultivation, after using the Vajra Glazed Body, an ordinary second-level magic beast can be defeated with just one punch. It can be severely damaged, and this iron-haired wolf was hit by Xiao Ping's three punches, but it was still able to get up, which shows its strong defensive ability.
"Time is running out! With this next punch, let me send you to the west!"
Xiao Ping raised his head, his nostrils suddenly opened, and took a deep breath of moist air. Then he shouted loudly, and the purple cloud wings behind him flapped vigorously. With illusory steps, before the iron-haired wolf could react, he had already rushed over its head.
"Die!"
Xiao Ping clenched his fists, raised them above his head, and then suddenly loosened them, turning them into a solid palm print, facing the iron-haired wolf. He slapped the wolf's head. For Xiao Ping, who was used to practicing the Great Heaven Creation Palm, it was more powerful to attack with a palm print. If he used his fist, it would lack the momentum to blow up everything in the world.
"Bang! Bang!"
As Xiao Ping's palm hit the iron-haired wolf's head firmly, a crisp sound spread quietly. It was the sound of a skull breaking. Then, a mixture of red and white brain matter sprayed everywhere.
"Huh? There is a magic core?"
He took out a hard object from the iron-haired wolf's brain, shook off the blood on the surface, and it was a golden light. Smooth crystal, it looks like it should be a golden magic core.
"Hehe, lucky!"
To be honest, this iron-haired wolf is not the first second-level magic beast that Xiao Ping has killed. It's just that Xiao Ping did not find the existence of the magic core in the second-level magic beasts he killed before. At that time, Xiao Ping's face was full of complaints. Of course, as more and more second-level magic beasts were killed, Xiao Ping no longer had much hope for the probability of the magic core appearing.
"Done!"
Patting the blood on his hands, Xiao Ping put the magic core, along with the entire body of the iron-haired wolf, into the storage ring, and then pointed his toes and flew back to his own In a secret cave he had opened up, he took out an old alchemy furnace and began to refine the elixirs he would need in the future.
Most of these elixirs were for restoring Dou Qi and healing injuries. The only other type of elixir was the third-grade high-level elixir that Xiao Ping was about to refine this time, Ning Yuan Dan, which could greatly increase the probability of a nine-star Dou player being promoted to a Dou Master.
"I hope it will succeed this time!"
Speaking of which, in the past few months, Xiao Ping had tried to refine Ning Yuan Dan no less than twenty times, but all of them failed. If he did not have a special exploration ability, he would have collected A lot of precious medicinal materials were used, otherwise Xiao Ping would not have enough medicinal materials to support him in so many failures
. After all, although Xiao Ping had condensed a soul entity, relying on the ancient soul cultivation method, he was not far from truly entering the soul realm of the early mortal realm, but this Ningyuan Pill was a third-grade high-level elixir. It was still not an easy task to refine it in less than a year, especially since Xiao Ping had no teacher to teach him. Everything was explored by himself, step by step. Being able to refine those first-grade and second-grade elixirs was already a great achievement. It was an unimaginable miracle.
"Whether I can be promoted to Fighting Master before the annual clan meeting depends on you!"
Xiao Ping patted the old alchemy furnace gently and took a deep breath to calm down and avoid making mistakes during the alchemy process.
"Fire!"
After calming down, Xiao Ping began to refine this third-grade high-level elixir. First, as usual, he had to preheat the alchemy furnace with beast fire to avoid uneven temperatures in the furnace during alchemy, which would cause the furnace to explode. He had already experienced two explosions. If it exploded again, this alchemy furnace would probably be ruined.
After the temperature in the alchemy furnace was preheated, Xiao Ping grabbed a piece of herb that looked like a plant root and put it into the furnace. He controlled the third-order beast fire to slowly extract the essence from the root. However, this herb was not the main ingredient for refining the Ningyuan Pill, but only an additional herb used to assist in alchemy.
Soon, after extracting the essence from the root, Xiao Ping controlled the flames and coated the entire inner wall of the furnace with the thick white liquid.
"Next is the Huiling Grass!"
Xiao Ping took out a Huiling Grass, removed the roots, and then put it into the hot furnace. In the furnace, the tender green Huiling grass made a low "hissing" sound as soon as it entered the furnace, and was soon burned into a ball of white ash by the fierce flames, leaving only a soybean-sized amount of medicinal liquid
. "Come again!"
To refine Ningyuan Dan, a total of five Huiling grasses are needed. To be on the safe side, Xiao Ping also refined them one by one. After all, although he started to learn to refine medicine at the age of five, it was only theory. He really started to practice refining medicine in the last six months.
"Qingtan Flower!"
After refining all five Huiling grasses, the next step is to refine three Qingtan flowers. Flower, just like before, Xiao Ping also followed the rules and disciplines, refining it step by step, never rushing.
"Second-level water attribute magic core!"
After successfully getting three qingtan flowers, Xiao Ping wiped his right hand on the ring and took out a dark blue magic core. This magic core was not obtained by Xiao Ping hunting monsters, but was taken out from the property left by those predecessors.
Due to the long storage time, the essence of these magic cores was also dissipated a lot. Therefore, the Ningyuan Pill, which originally only required one water attribute magic core, needed to be increased to three when refining. Fortunately, those predecessors The inheritance was rich enough to sustain Xiao Ping's twenty-odd failures. Of course, after so many failures, he only had less than ten second-tier water-attribute magic cores left, which meant he could only refine three more furnaces of Condensing Yuan Dan at best.
"One piece of Black Lotus, combined with five Phantom Blue Fruits!"
The final step was the most difficult, requiring the simultaneous extraction of two medicinal herbs with different properties and quantities. The Black Lotus focused on the wood attribute, while the Phantom Blue Fruits were closer to the ice attribute. The slightest mistake could lead to the mixing of the two medicinal liquids, resulting in the failure of the alchemy.
"Huh..."
"Xiao Ping! Take your time! Don't rush!"
Speaking of which, when refining the Ningyuan Pill before, all those who had endured the previous steps had failed at this last level. It was easy to cause an imbalance in the refining ratio of the two sides. Moreover, even if the first part was successfully refined, two more parts had to be refined.
No matter how smooth it was before, Xiao Ping frowned. At this moment, he had already fully opened up his soul power and wrapped the entire alchemy furnace inside and out with three layers, for fear that there would be the slightest step error.
"Squeak..."
Half an incense stick of time had passed before Xiao Ping finally put the first portion of Mo Ye The black lotus and the dark blue fruit were extracted and perfectly fused together, "There are two more!"
Perhaps God could not bear to see Xiao Ping fail again, this time the pill refining was surprisingly smooth, and soon, the ratio of three portions of black leaf lotus and dark blue fruit was finally perfectly refined into a yellow-green medicinal liquid,
"The last step, the pill is done!"
Seeing that he had successfully extracted three portions of black leaf lotus and dark blue fruit, Xiao Ping licked his mouth, his face full of indescribable excitement, "It's almost successful! Come on!"
The so-called pill making, of course, is to completely fuse all the previously extracted medicinal liquids together, and use flames to condense them into a spherical pill. The reason for this is... The pill was condensed into a spherical shape because in a spherical state, the nutrients in the medicinal liquid could be retained to the greatest extent. In order to condense it into a pill, one must have enough patience to grind off the edges and corners around the pill little by little.
"Condensate the pill powder!"
As all the medicinal liquids were integrated, Xiao Ping took out a jade screen and sprinkled half of the white powder from it. When the white powder fell into the already very thick medicinal liquid, the emerald green pill ball spontaneously moved towards the center and slowly condensed into a dot.
At this time, one only needs to control the flame to grind off the protruding parts and fill in the concave parts. Then he slowly removed the flame and waited for the temperature in the alchemy furnace to drop completely until it returned to normal. By then, the pill would be completely solidified, locking in the medicinal power contained in it.
"Huh! Finally done!"
The pill-condensing process took another half an incense stick of time. However, being able to refine this third-grade high-level Ningyuan Pill, it was worth waiting any longer.
Holding the emerald green pill in his hand, Xiao Ping couldn't help but take a deep breath of the medicinal vapor emitted by the pill. Just by taking a breath of the medicinal vapor, Xiao Ping felt the fighting spirit in his body begin to stir again.
"Haha, it's worthy of being a third-grade high-level pill!"
"Wait a few more days, adjust my condition to the best, then it will be time to break through to the Doushi realm!"
After putting the Ningyuan Pill into the jade bottle, Xiao Ping also stretched his waist. Alchemy is not an easy job. It consumes a lot of physical strength and spiritual power. At the same time, it is also a form of hard training. If Xiao Ping hadn't spent time refining pills every day, it would be impossible for him to break through to the Doushi realm in such a short time.
