Chapter 95: Walking Into a Trap

Yanzhu Peak, Alchemy Room.

Yanzhu Peak is called Yanzhu Peak because the whole mountain looks like a fiery red pillar reaching the sky. Yuanxu's alchemy room is on the top of Yanzhu Peak.

Today, Yuanxu is wearing a white alchemist robe with a three-legged and two-legged alchemy cauldron painted on it. The incense is curling from the mouth of the cauldron, which is quite extraordinary; today, Xiao Mian is wearing a green shirt, just like when he first climbed the Five Elements Mountain ten years ago.

The difference is: Yuanxu is getting older and dying, while Xiao Mian is already a grown man with a majestic appearance.

"As expected, in just three months, you have cultivated to the twelfth level of the Qi training stage. If it is someone with excellent aptitude such as a natural spiritual root, it may not be a big deal, but for you, a useless person with mixed five-element spiritual roots, it is simply a miracle!" Yuanxu cast a rather turbid gaze on Xiao Mian, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at Xiao Mian and asked: "Good disciple, don't you have anything to say to your master?"

"I wonder why the master summoned the disciple here today?"

"Why? Of course it's for alchemy! After all, the master is the only alchemy master of the Five Elements Sect, and now his life span is not much; Chengfeng was framed and died young, and now only you and I are left in the lineage of Yanzhu Peak. I am so pleased with you that I plan to pass on my most proud alchemy skills to you. What do you think? "

"I dare not refuse the gift from the elder!"

"What a good 'I dare not refuse the gift from the elder'! Since you are so well-behaved, I can't be stingy, right? You are now at the twelfth level of Qi training. Although you have not yet reached the state of great perfection in the Qi training period, if you take these pills, you should be able to successfully build a foundation! What do you think? My dear disciple, are you convinced or not?"

As he said this, Yuanxu took out a porcelain bottle and opened it, pouring out three pills into his right hand - Xiao Mian recognized the pills, which were the foundation-building pills that he had specially asked Fu Qingqiong to collect for Ye Qingguo's foundation building, and they were top-grade foundation-building pills!

Foundation-building pills are divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. After taking them, cultivators at the great perfection of the Qi training period can have a certain chance of helping themselves condense the true qi of the whole body and build a foundation in the dantian. This is the meaning of "foundation building".

However, the medicinal power contained in the top-grade foundation-building pill is almost three times that of the lower-grade foundation-building pill, and the foundation-building effect is naturally not comparable to that of the lower-grade foundation-building pill.

This foundation-building pill is not available to every cultivator. Recalling the time when Huangfu Wei, the number one outer disciple, appeared in the Trial Valley in exchange for the foundation-building pill, and finally died at the hands of Fu Qingqiong by accident.

Seeing the three top-grade foundation-building pills in Yuanxu's hand, Xiao Mian felt a little amused: others were trying their best to get the foundation-building pill, and the higher the grade, the better; not only did he not have to bother preparing the foundation-building pill, but he had to take three top-grade foundation-building pills in one breath. If this matter were to be spread out, I wonder how many cultivators who wanted to get a foundation-building pill but couldn't get it would be envious.

But after taking these three top-grade foundation-building pills, I'm afraid half of my life would be gone!

When Ye Qingguo was building her foundation that day, she only took one top-grade foundation-building pill and succeeded. Afterwards, she lamented that the medicinal power contained in the top-grade foundation-building pill was too overbearing, and it almost caused her inner Qi to run wild.

This was because Ye Qingguo had already reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Stage. Xiao Mian had just entered the twelfth level of the Qi Training Stage, and if he took three top-grade foundation-building pills at the same time, the mixed medicinal power would cause the inner Qi to run wild and burst all of Xiao Mian's meridians in an instant. At the least, his cultivation would be ruined, and at the worst, his life would be lost.

"Master's orders are as heavy as a mountain, how can I disobey them?" As he said this, Xiao Mian was about to take the three foundation-building pills, but Yuan Xu clenched his fingers and held them all in his palm. He stared at Xiao Mian, who looked calm, for a long time, and then asked faintly: "Xiao Mian, let me ask you again: Is your Senior Brother Lu's death related to you?"

"No! After the last time we were separated in Lingchuan Market, I haven't seen Senior Brother Lu again!"

"Okay! Okay..., you take the medicine!"

Yuan Xu stretched out his palm and no longer stopped Xiao Mian from taking the medicine.

Xiao Mian didn't even look at Yuan Xu's face, and took the three top-grade foundation-building pills and swallowed them in one breath.

From beginning to end, Yuan Xu's left hand was hidden under the wide alchemist robe, and his left hand was holding his flying sword - the flying sword that "had carved patterns and yin and yang engravings" that took Xiao Mian into the Five Elements Gate.

If Xiao Mian made any unusual movements, Yuan Xu would kill him.

Although the dead medicine man's medicinal effect would lose some of its effects, Yuanxu could no longer care about these. Lu Chengfeng's death and Xiao Mian's abnormality forced him to be cautious.

Yuanxu did not release the flying sword in his left hand until Xiao Mian took three foundation-building pills. After waiting for three breaths, Xiao Mian's body emitted bursts of roaring sounds like gas explosions. At the same time, Xiao Mian's face was as pale as paper, sweating like pulp, and trembling all over.

"Good disciple! You will always be the good disciple of the master!"

Seeing Xiao Mian silently enduring the severe pain caused by the runaway true qi, just staring at him with deep eyes, Yuanxu couldn't help but feel a chill.

Saying so, Yuanxu waved his sleeves, wrapped Xiao Mian up, and threw him into the alchemy furnace beside him.

When the top cover of the alchemy furnace was tightly closed, Yuanxu was really relieved, but he felt something strange in his heart: Is this kid scared silly?

Never mind!

Since you have entered my alchemy furnace, no matter how advanced you are, you must be turned into ashes!

Thinking of this, Yuan Xu took a purple gold gourd from the wall of the alchemy room, unplugged it, and shook it at the alchemy furnace.

A purple-gold flame spurted out of the gourd and hit the bottom of the alchemy furnace. The fire control array at the bottom of the furnace was automatically activated, and the purple-gold flame coiled into a circle, surrounding the entire alchemy furnace.

After that, Yuanxu used a spell to fix the purple-gold gourd in mid-air, and then took a green-gold gourd and acted according to the law. Suddenly, another green-gold flame appeared outside the alchemy furnace, followed by a golden gourd that spurted out a golden flame. The inner circle was purple-gold, the middle circle was green-gold, and the outer circle was gold. The three-color flames burned happily.

The flames of the three gourds were obviously extraordinary. After controlling the three gourds in succession, even Yuanxu, who was at the top of the foundation-building stage, felt a little overwhelmed. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, swallowed a pill of recovery pill, and began to meditate to restore his true energy.

A quarter of an hour later, Yuanxu opened his eyes.

Looking at the blazing three-color golden fire, Yuanxu seemed to feel that the fire was not strong enough, and he summoned a green banana fan from the side and fanned the alchemy furnace. In an instant, the wind helped the fire, and the temperature in the entire alchemy room rose sharply. The alchemy furnace seemed to disappear in the three-color golden fire. Yuanxu's forehead was sweating. Obviously, even the alchemist Yuanxu felt quite exhausted.

But Yuanxu didn't feel tired at all, but was very excited.

Ten years of expectation, ten years of waiting, a lifetime of desire, a lifetime of pursuit, success or failure depends on this furnace of three-flower gathering pills!
