Located in the north of You Prefecture, the Flaming Mountain stretches for thousands of miles. It is the largest mountain range in the northern part of the Zhao Country. It is sparsely populated and extremely hot.
The environment is incredibly harsh, but has a lot of fame in the Cultivation World, as it’s where Spirit Pill Mountain is located.
Because this place has the most abundant fire resources in You Prefecture, which can be used for Alchemy.
Three days later, Lin Xuan came to Flaming Mountain.
Just after dawn, he felt a heatwave rushing toward him. Lin Xuan frowned. The temperature here is at least 50 degrees. If I am not an Immortal Cultivator, and my body is replaced with an ordinary person. He wouldn’t be able to stand it.
His mind moved slightly, a layer of blue light appeared around his body, and he felt cooler at once. This is a Water Attribute Barrier, which is the best in resisting high temperatures.
Lin Xuan identified the direction and then began to enter the mountain with the Imperial Wind Art.
If it’s a general Sect, there will be layers of Restrictions around the altar to prevent outsiders from approaching. However, the Spirit Pill Mountain is different and its status is aloof. Often, cultivators come to the sect to invite them for Alchemy. Although the Flame Mountain is its root, There are only a few illusions that prevent mortals from approaching.
Lin Xuan easily came to the rumored “mountain in the mountains”. The so-called mountain in the mountains is named after the terrain. It was originally a huge circular volcano. However, the crater is very large and was originally a ring-shaped volcano. A hill shaped like a Cauldron.
The wonderful environment can be described as skillful craftsmanship, and it is most suitable for Alchemy. It’s said that thousands of years ago, the cultivators of You Prefecture had competed for this treasure, but ultimately, they chose to give up.
Because of the words of a rogue cultivator, the Sect Masters of each Sect were stunned. Even if you grab it, do you have enough Alchemy skills?
Later, the cultivator showed some magical skills, and in the face of the major Sect Masters, he opened a furnace for Alchemy.
Foundation Establishment Pill, an essential medicine pill for the intermediate level cultivators, usually has a success rate of only one-fifth, and Immortal World’s medicine pills are more difficult to refine in the future.
But the cultivator increased the success rate to a staggering 50%. That is to say, in two furnaces he can succeed once, each party was convinced, and the mountain was handed over to the cultivator. Of course, there was a condition, which was to help them refine pills.
This person is the founder of the Spirit Pill Mountain!
Later, some cultivators who didn’t like cultivation, but were keen on Alchemy, came in and gradually joined Spirit Pill Mountain.
In addition to Lin Xuan. In front of the mountains, there are several cultivators, looking at their costumes, they were cultivators from nearby Sects, and some Rogue Cultivators. Today is the day when the Spirit Pill Mountain receives foreign guests.
When the people saw Lin Xuan, they only glanced a little, then turned their heads, after all, cultivators who come to Spirit Pill Mountain. Mostly have only one purpose.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xuan rubbed his nose and had to stand on one side and wait with them.
They waited for a few hours, but none of the cultivators present showed any expressions of dissatisfaction or impatience. There’s no other reason for this. Spirit Pill Mountain is a group of weirdos. It’s said that there was a Senior of the Core Formation Stage who asked them to refine Pills. Because his words were rude, he annoyed the Alchemist, and the result was that the person deliberately failed.
Ten furnaces of precious medicine pills, all failed, for Alchemy to have problems, it’s normal, but one after another to produce Trash Pills. Obviously, he was deliberately looking for trouble.
The precious herbs he worked hard to collect have been turned into useless Trash Pills. The anger of that Expert is imaginable and he was about to explode on the spot. But in the end, he was forcibly taken away by allies.
In other places, the Core Formation Stage is absolutely amazing. However, in Spirit Pill Mountain, no one will look at them, not because the sect is very strong. Their Sect Master is only in the Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage, but the status of Spirit Pill Mountain is aloof, and everyone is counting on them to refine pills.
In the Immortal world of You Prefecture, there is an unwritten rule. No one can start a fight with an Alchemy Master of Spirit Pill Mountain. Cultivators that are good at Alchemy are too few. Secondly, the skill of Alchemists in Spirit Pill Mountain is very high. If they’re killed, who will help us with pill refining?
Fortunately, the Experts do not have to worry, because if anybody harmed them, they would become the target of the entire Immortal Cultivation community in You Prefecture.
Even a Core Formation Stage Expert had suffered a loss. The other Cultivators certainly didn’t dare to stand up. Although they were already impatient, their faces still had indifferent expressions.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xuan’s mind is alive again. If he can successfully join Spirit Pill Mountain, not only will the future medicine pills be guaranteed, but he will also receive the title of a formal Alchemist, which is equivalent to an additional life. Don’t look at Spirit Pill Mountain as a humble sect, if you can join it, the benefits are many.
Seeing that it is noon, finally, a white light shines in front of his eyes.
In the light, a young man in his twenties came out and looked at the cultivators waiting for the audience: “Everybody, please follow me.”
Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of surprise. The boy was just an ordinary mortal. An outer sect disciple of the Spirit Pill Mountain?
The cultivators were already impatient and quickly followed the boy into the mountains.
This is You Prefecture’s largest active volcano, since the establishment of Spirit Pill Mountain, the ancestors of the past generations put a lot of effort to sort it out, with Immortal Techniques as a guide, they opened up one large room after another, with the addition of an Earth Vein of fire, it has become a natural alchemy room, but the most precious is the crater in the shape of a cauldron, not only does it fully cooperate with the earth veins of fire, and according to the founder, this mountain is a cauldron, more magical than any rare cauldron.
It’s just that no one except the founder of Spirit Pill Mountain has the skills to use it as a Cauldron to practice Alchemy.
The teenager was only a mortal but is very clever. He quickly asked the cultivators who wanted to refine medicine pills and brought them to the appropriate Alchemy room.
“Immortal Master, what medicine pill do you want to refine?”
The teenager in charge took a look at Lin Xuan, his face was respectful, and he was a little envious in his eyes. Although he was just a mortal, he had already been told that this Immortal Master was a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Alchemists in the sect can be rude to the High-Rank cultivators, but he wouldn’t dare, as he’s only an Outer Sect Disciple.
However, Lin Xuan was more kind than he thought and smiled: “I have some business, but I am not here to refine pills.”
“Not to refine pills?” the boy was stunned, why did he come to Spirit Pill Mountain.
“I want to join your party.”
After listening to Lin Xuan’s request, the boy’s response was similar to that of Wu Tian, but was very clever and didn’t say anything: “Immortal Master, please follow me.”
…
“Failed again!”
In a spacious Alchemy room, there was a sigh of heartache. In the center of the room, suspended a purple-red Fireball. Under the Fireball, was an iron beastly animal head, with its mouth opened wide. From time to time, fire from the Earth veins sprang from the inside, supplementing the Fireball.
A vulgar old man, holding a Cauldron in his arms, the lid has been opened, but the inside is not the smell of a medicine pill, but a burning taste.
“A High-grade Pill is really hard to make. The Purifying Essence pill is already the lowest level and simplest one, but I have wasted 20 furnaces of materials, and still haven’t succeeded.”
The old white eyebrows were wrinkled together. Don’t look at his unrefined appearance. This Daoist is the head of Spirit Pill Mountain, the best Alchemist in the Cultivation World of You Prefecture, and his cultivation base is not low. The Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage.
Even with the same medicine pill, it has different grades, the effect is not the same. With the Alchemy skills of Daoist Tong Yu, the success rate of Refining Middle-Grade Pills is not low. But now, he’s refining a High-Grade Pill.
But it always fails. Is it true that, as legends say, “Refining a High-grade Pill” one can only rely on luck, and it can not be forced?
Just as the Daoist Master was frowning, a jade slip flew in front of him, and Tong Yu Daoist Master stretched his finger little, and a respectful voice fell to his ear: “Sect Master, there is a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, who wants to join the sect.”
“Oh?” Daoist Tong Yu stood up, Cultivators mostly pursue immortality, and people who love Alchemy are few, especially High-Rank cultivators. Although the Spirit Pill Mountain is well known. However, it faces the embarrassing situation of not having many members.
Most of the Alchemists in the sect are of the Spirit Condensation Stage, and the life of a Spirit Condensation Stage cultivator is not longer than that of a mortal. In just a short hundred years, they’d return to the earth.
Recently, a lot of the Alchemists in the sect have passed away, but there have been no recent disciples added to the mountain. If this continues, it will be difficult for the faction to continue its existence…
As the Sect Master, Daoist Tong Yu has been bothered by this for a long time, but there is no good plan. If Spirit Pill Mountain really declines, how will he explain it to his ancestors in the future?
When he heard that a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator wanted to join the sect. The Daoist Master was very happy and decided to personally receive him. Of course, although he wants to introduce new disciples to this Sect, he can’t break the rules. As only official disciples with talent in Alchemy can join.
