Chapter 268 Bingyi Dan, Soulless Divine Weapon, and the Deal with Miao Kuo (5K)

Reaching the seventh turning away from fire art requires refining one hundred soul-strengthening pills.

The Soul-Strengthening Pill is a compound pill. The so-called compound pill refers to a compound pill that has multiple genera.

It is both a strengthening elixir and a recuperative elixir.

In other words, it has two effects, one is to enhance the power of the soul, and the other is to treat damage to the soul.

Judging from the effects alone, we know the complexity and difficulty of refining this elixir.

This is indeed the case. Soul-strengthening pills are already within the realm of pill refining for fifth-grade alchemists.

A fifth-grade alchemist, which is Miao Kuo's grade, is considered to be an above-average level in the entire Tiandan City.

You know, the most powerful alchemist in Tiandan City is only a sixth-grade alchemist.

"On the seventh turn, you need to refine the soul-strengthening pill that can only be refined by a fifth-grade alchemist. What about the next few turns?"

The joy just now disappeared because of the appearance of the soul-strengthening pill.

According to one grade per turn, seven turns to five levels, eight turns to six levels, and nine turns to seven levels.

It's not impossible. Since owning the panel, Su Chen clearly knows its urine properties.

Su Chen suddenly felt that practicing the Nine Turns of Leaving Fire Jue was much more difficult than he thought.

"These are not the key points. I am afraid that I will not be able to buy the elixir at all!"

After learning that the next stage was the soul-strengthening pill, Su Chen inquired and found that no one was selling the soul-strengthening pill recipe on the market.

According to Miao Kuo, this kind of fifth-grade elixir recipe can be kept and passed down as a family heirloom.

Especially a fifth-grade elixir prescription with detailed steps. As long as you possess it with strong strength, you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Of course no one would be stupid enough to sell it.

Unless it is an elixir similar to the Yuanshi Dan, because of its special nature, the Dan Alliance contributes the elixir formula for all alchemists to refine and study.

But there are not many elixirs like Yuanshi Dan in the entire Tiandan City.

"No matter what, let's get hold of the Yuanshi Dan first, lest we have the chance to obtain the recipe for the Soul-Strengthening Dan later but cannot afford to buy it."

Su Chen secretly thought that although the soul-strengthening elixir recipe was rare, it was not impossible.

Be prepared for a rainy day, in case Su Chen finds out about Danfang, he will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it.

Therefore, it is imperative to make money, and you can take this opportunity to improve your skills in refining Yuanshi Dan.

Since Su Chen did not plan to sell the Yuanshi Dan through the Miao family, he could only rely on selling the Lingyuan Dan himself.

This is also a helpless move.

After all, his time for alchemy was too short. It only took about five years from the beginning of learning alchemy to the time he refined the fourth-grade Yuanshi Dan.

This speed of refining alchemy was not fast for him, but for an alchemist like Miao Kuo, who had been practicing alchemy for a lifetime and was only at the fifth level, it was astonishingly fast.

Although Su Chen could explain that he could only refine Yuan Shi Dan and could not be called a true fourth-grade alchemist.

But you must be on guard against others.

Su Chen didn't want to get involved in other troubles, so he might as well conceal the matter.

When you don't want to get into trouble for one thing, you will often get into a lot of trouble for another thing.

This law is also quite applicable to Su Chen.

In order to sell Yuanshidan, Su Chen disguised himself and sold them in batches.

There are a lot of Yuanshi Dan on hand. If they were sold in the same elixir shop, it would attract attention.

Su Chen thought he was careful enough, but for some reason, after leaving the third alchemy shop, he was inexplicably targeted.

Although he got rid of the other party in the end, it also gave Su Chen a wake-up call.

He changed his outfit every time he went to an alchemy shop, but he still didn't avoid this trouble.

Later he learned that even if he tried to reduce the quantity of Yuanshi Dan he sold, he was still being targeted because of the quality of the Yuanshi Dan and his status as a casual cultivator.

The Yuanshi Dan he refined was not only of high quality, but the Yuanli force contained in it was also very pure.

These alchemy shops have professional alchemist appraisals, and they can naturally tell that this is an elixir that is somewhat higher than the best elixirs.

Yuan Shi Dan is a pill that is in short supply in the Holy Yuan Kingdom. Now that such high-quality pills are leaking out on the market, anyone who knows the goods will be interested in it, no matter how big or small the pill shop is.

It's just that some alchemy shops want to establish long-term cooperation channels, and some alchemy shops want to find the alchemist behind the scenes and wait for the opportunity.

This is why, apart from the fact that the first two alchemy shops didn't know what they were selling, no one was sent to follow him, and all subsequent shops sent people to follow him.

After finding out this was the reason, Su Chen stopped selling Yuanshi Dan.

To be precise, this high-quality Yuanshi Dan is no longer sold.

He began to deliberately lower the quality of Yuanshi Dan.

Fortunately, Su Chen's refining level is here, and he has not reached a state of excellence in the Yuanshi Dan.

After adapting for a period of time, Su Chen gradually lowered his level and refined a batch of inferior Yuanshi Dan.

When he sold it again, the price was not as good as the previous Yuanshi Dan, but finally no one continued to follow him.

To this end, he sacrificed dozens of identities.

But this was not the way to go. Su Chen couldn't deliberately suppress his alchemy skills just to make money.

And this thing can't be suppressed.

Just like a faucet, if you press this, water will flow out from the gap.

What's more, Su Chen also plans to use Yuan Shi Dan's experience to refine the Soul Strengthening Pill.

Soon, he thought of a way, not to suppress the refining skills of Yuanshi Dan itself, but to reduce the infusion of Yuanli force.

During this time, while he was selling Yuanshi Dan, he was also observing the market's reaction.

Thanks to the pure and complete Yuanli potential in the elixir, the first batch of Yuanshi elixirs that appeared on the market were very popular.

The price of some Yuanshi Dan has even skyrocketed because it contains the Yuanli power that is relatively popular among the public, breaking through the historical price peak of Yuanshi Dan.

This discovery made Su Chen realize that the reason why his Yuanshi Dan was so popular was not actually his refining skills, but the Yuanli in it.

Based on this, he came up with this method.

But even Su Chen didn't expect that the power of Yuanli he had poured into him would be so popular.

But it's normal. Maybe Su Chen can't be called a powerful fourth-grade alchemist.

But when it comes to refining Yuanshi Dan, he is the best at the Yuanli Shi among the fourth-level alchemists, and the best at refining elixirs among the Shi realm warriors.

The combination of the two brings extraordinary effects, which will cause a sensation in the entire Tiandan City.

After verification, Su Chen confirmed that his idea was correct.

The power of Yuanli has been reduced, and the Yuanshi Dan sold since then is similar to the Yuanshi Dan refined by ordinary fourth-level alchemists.

The market has recovered as before, and Su Chen's process of selling Yuanshi Dan has become less troublesome.

Good news comes one after another.

Su Chen solved the worries of selling Yuanshi Dan, and at the same time got the news about the Soul Strengthening Pill recipe.

What he didn't expect was that the Miao family actually had a recipe for a soul-strengthening pill, and it was in Miao Kuo's hands.

Going round and round, things seem to be back to square one.

Su Chen thought for a long time, and finally decided to buy the pill recipe from Miao Kuo as a vest.

On this day, he found Miao Kuo.

"Do you want to buy a soul-strengthening pill?"

Miao Kuo looked at the gentle young man in front of him, a little surprised at his age.

If he hadn't learned that the other party was the alchemist who refined the batch of Yuan Shi Dan that caused a sensation in Tiandan City, he might not have even met the other party.

After seeing him now, he actually doubted the authenticity of the other party's words.

After all, he had never seen such a young fourth-grade alchemist before.

Su Chen ignored Miao Kuo's prying eyes. The other party's probing was of no use to him.

He nodded and took out a Yuanshi Dan from his arms to show his identity.

After Miao Kuo took the elixir and inspected it, he finally believed the other party's identity.

Because what Su Chen took out was not one Yuanshi Dan, but ten in total.

As far as Miao Kuo knew, the batch of Yuanshi Dan circulated on the market were sold at high prices through various channels.

Su Chen's ability to take out ten Yuanshi Dan at once is enough to illustrate his identity.

"It's not impossible for you to buy the Soul-Strengthening Pill. I have a condition." Miao Kuo didn't waste any words.

Su Chen asked: "What are the conditions?"

"I have a pill recipe here. If you can help me refine the pills on it, I will give you the soul-strengthening pill for free."

"Okay, but I need an annotated version of the soul-strengthening elixir recipe."

Su Chen quickly agreed without hesitation and added an extra sentence.

Although he didn't know why Su Chen cared about whether there were annotations, Miao Kuo didn't care.

He took out the prescription, shook his head and said, "Don't agree so quickly. You'd better take a look at the prescription first."

With that said, Miao Kuo took out a prescription and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen lowered his head and looked at it carefully. Miao Kuo sat aside without disturbing him.

This elixir recipe was obtained by him accidentally. It was extremely mysterious. What it recorded was a fifth-grade elixir called Bingyi Dan.

After obtaining the prescription, Miao Kuo studied it for several years, but still couldn't figure out any clues.

He has been a fifth-level alchemist for decades, but has never found an opportunity to break through to a sixth-level alchemist.

Ever since he got this prescription, Miao Kuo had a feeling in his heart.

Once you refine the Military Intention Pill yourself, you might have a chance to reach the threshold of a sixth-grade alchemist.

After becoming a fifth-grade alchemist, the level of the alchemist is related to the realm.

He is now just a Yuanshen realm warrior and has not yet understood the true meaning of martial arts. If nothing happens, he will only be a fifth-grade alchemist in this life.

But the appearance of Bingyi Dan gave him hope, and he wanted to go further as an alchemist.

Even if the realm has not reached the Dharma Realm, you can still refine sixth-grade elixirs.

This is also the reason why he took out the pill formula. The Soul Strengthening Pill is just one of many pill formulas to him, but the Military Intent Pill is the key to whether he can reach a higher level.

If he could exchange the soul-strengthening pill for the qualification of a sixth-grade alchemist, Miao Kuo would definitely exchange it without even thinking about it.

The question now is whether Su Chen can refine the Bingyi Pill.

If it can be refined, it is the best, and he can learn from it and ask about the refining method.

If he cannot refine it, it only means that his good fortune has not yet arrived.

This behavior is also based on gambling. If the bet is right, everything will be fine, and if the bet is wrong, there will be no loss.

"How is it?" Miao Kuo asked eagerly as soon as Su Chen finished reading.

Su Chen did not give a clear answer, but said vaguely: "I'll try my best."

"Okay, you can ask me if you have any questions." Miao Kuo didn't care.

After chatting with Miao Kuo for a while, Su Chen left Miao Mansion with the Military Intent Pill recipe, then changed back to his original clothes and secretly returned home.

With his strength, no one in the Miao Mansion can discover his whereabouts, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

"Brother Xiang, where did you go just now? I've been looking for you for a long time but I still can't find you."

As soon as he returned to the yard, Su Chen's expression was startled, and a young girl wearing green clothes walked towards him.

Six years have passed and the little girl has begun to grow up.

Miao Xingxing has changed from the little girl back then to the big girl now.

The girl is slim and tall, dressed in light white clothes, with pretty cheeks, a pair of big eyes as clear and bright as lakes, and a black ponytail hanging down on her chest. Her pure appearance shows her youthful elegance.

"I just went out for a trip." Su Chen replied calmly.

Over the past few years, Miao Xingxing had become familiar with him and would run into his yard from time to time.

Su Chen was often tormented by her.

Later, it was Su Chen who told her some classic novels about his past life that made her stop. However, this also led to the other party coming to see him more frequently.

It's better when he grows up. Being sensible is one thing, and the difference between men and women is another, but Miao Xingxing still comes to visit Su Chen often.

"What's the matter with you?" Su Chen looked at the energetic girl, who was looking at him with big eyes and a smile.

The girl laughed and said: "Brother Xiang, you said you are not very old, but why do you stay in the yard all day like my grandfather? Why don't you go out with me for an autumn outing today?"

"It's autumn time again!" Su Chen sighed inwardly.

After refining the elixir, he became less and less sensitive to time.

In previous years, girls would remind him that autumn was coming, and then take him on autumn outings.

She said it was Qiu You, but actually she was pestering him to tell her stories.

"Tell me, what story do you want to hear this time?" Su Chen spread his hands and asked.

The girl smiled like a flower: "The story of the ruthless empress!"

After returning from the autumn outing, Su Chen began to study the Bingyi Pill.

Like other elixir prescriptions, the Bingyi elixir prescription also has many annotations by Miao Kuo, all of which are his relevant opinions and most of them are his guesses.

"It seems that even Miao Kuo has not been able to fully understand this prescription." Su Chen murmured.

Naturally, Su Chen didn't have much confidence in the elixir that even a fifth-grade alchemist like Miao Kuo couldn't refine.

The reason why he agreed to Miao Kuo was because he saw an article on the prescription:

"The Military Intent Pill contains the meaning of a divine weapon."

It is very similar to the Yuanshi Dan. The Yuanshi Dan is infused with the power of Yuanli, and the Bingyi Dan is infused with the meaning of the divine weapon.

Miao Kuo also mentioned this.

When he was refining the Bingyi Pill, he found many magic weapon warriors and borrowed magic weapons from them, hoping to refine the pill.

It's a pity that among the many warriors of the Divine Realm that I came into contact with, none of them were able to succeed.

Later, he researched that if he wanted to refine the Military Intent Pill, he had to rely on the Soulless Divine Weapon.

The so-called soulless magic weapon refers to a magic weapon that does not have the spirit that gave birth to a magic weapon, but it also has the meaning of a magic weapon.

Miao Kuo had never even heard of such a magical weapon, let alone looking for it.

He used a lot of connections but could not find such a magic weapon, and even spent a lot of favors because of it.

A magic weapon warrior learned of his idea and directly persuaded him to give up this whimsical idea, indicating that there had never been a soulless magic weapon in the world of Shifang.

Soulless divine weapons are extremely rare even in the secret realms or worlds where they are born. Once they appear in the world of Shifang, they will definitely cause a bloody storm.

Once upon a time, there were soulless divine weapons appearing in thousands of worlds, attracting countless strong men to fight for them.

Later, a fierce war broke out, and the birthplace of the Soulless Divine Weapon was implicated, and all life was reduced to ashes.

Of course, these are Miao Kuo's guesses and may not be true.

But Su Chen hoped this was true, because he really had a soulless magic weapon.

The Sky-Breaking Sword has not yet given birth to the spirit of a divine weapon, but it can use the spirit of a divine weapon due to some special reasons. Isn't it a spiritless divine weapon?

With this thought, Su Chen immediately devoted himself to endless research.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and another year passes.

This day.

"Hua Wuque wants to see me? This name sounds familiar!"

Even Miao Kuo himself had almost forgotten the deal with Su Chen.

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered Hua Wuque's identity, so he suddenly sat up in shock and said quickly: "Quick, let him in."

Not long after, Su Chen strode into the courtyard. They hadn't seen each other for a year, and neither of them had changed much in appearance.

As soon as Miao Kuo saw Su Chen, he couldn't wait to ask, "Have you refined the Military Intent Pill?"

His voice was trembling and somewhat earnest. He stared at Su Chen intently, hoping to see the answer on his face.

Needless to say, Su Chen nodded: "Well, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"Show me!" Miao Kuo was momentarily distracted, and then urged excitedly.

Su Chen took out the elixir and handed it to Miao Kuo.

Miao Kuo stretched out his trembling hands and looked at the bottle in front of him dreamily.

He took a deep breath, his face tensed, and then carefully uncorked the bottle.

Suddenly, a sharp divine weapon spurts out and dissipates in an instant.

"It's really a military elixir!"

Miao Kuo poured out the elixir, regardless of the injury on his hand, and after a while, he burst into tears.

"You, how were you made?"

"The meaning of the divine weapon inside is not the meaning of the divine weapon of the soulless divine weapon, but the meaning of the divine weapon that is combined with the true meaning of the martial arts of the master of the divine weapon and the meaning of the divine weapon."

Su Chen sighed and summed up his experience of the year.

Miao Kuo's guess was wrong. The meaning of the divine weapon required by the Bing Yi Dan was the product of the true meaning of the martial arts of the divine weapon warrior and the meaning of the divine weapon, rather than the so-called soulless meaning of the divine weapon.

In the past year, he had failed so many times that he almost had inner demons.

Fortunately, the end result is gratifying.

He inadvertently injected his true martial arts into the Bingyi Dan, and almost succeeded.

This made him realize the problem, so he tried to infuse it with the true meaning of martial arts and the meaning of divine weapons.

After a lot of failures, I finally succeeded in refining the Bingyi Pill.

"Hahaha, that's it, that's it!"

After Miao Kuo learned about it, he burst out laughing, with tears in his eyes.

After failing for so long, he gave up hope, but he didn't expect to succeed in the end.

For a moment, he had the urge to cry with joy.

Fortunately, it was contained in the end, otherwise it would have been a bit embarrassing.

"Thank you Mr. Hua for telling me that this is the recipe for the soul-strengthening pill, so I will give it to you as a gift!"

After a long time, Miao Kuo calmed down his inner excitement and handed Su Chen the soul-strengthening elixir that had been sealed for a year from the room.

Su Chen took the prescription and noticed that there were two different handwritings on the prescription.

The new handwriting re-labeled a lot of content, introducing the steps and experience of refining the elixir in detail.

It seemed that Miao Kuo was still hoping that Su Chen could refine the Bingyi Pill, so he added new ingredients to the pill recipe.

With the recipe for the soul-strengthening pill, Su Chen returned to his residence happily.

After a year, it’s time to refine the soul-strengthening pill!
