Chapter 294

As soon as Zhang Xiaohua's divine sense withdrew from the pill furnace, the vital energy in his hand stopped flowing, and the incantation in his right hand naturally stopped as well.

This time, starting from a high-level incantation, the drawbacks of not practicing the basic incantations immediately became apparent. Generally speaking, if one practiced the incantations step by step, they would be able to control the basic incantations freely before moving on to the next incantation. This way, they would naturally be extremely familiar with the incantations and vital energy, and control them with ease. Unlike him, who could fill the entire pill furnace with a huge flame as soon as he started!

"Practice makes perfect, practice makes perfect."

Zhang Xiaohua muttered, not knowing if he was encouraging himself. Then, he persevered and continued with the unfinished work. After all, he was a person with great perseverance. After almost an afternoon of practice, Zhang Xiaohua was finally able to control it freely.

Thus, he impatiently tossed the already cold seabird into the cauldron.

Yes, this guy used his divine sense to control the seabird, and wanted to use the fire of the pill furnace to roast the seabird to eat!

Presumably, ten thousand years ago, when the Immortal Dao was at its peak, no one would be so extravagant.

But, how could the seabird withstand such a huge array of forces?

After being burned by the fire, it turned into ashes without leaving a trace.

Zhang Xiaohua was anxious. This delicious roast meat disappeared just like that. How depressing. Sigh, his control was still not subtle enough. He still needed to work harder.

How could he know that the pill furnace was the best for refining the essence of medicinal herbs? Although the seabird was big, it was still flesh and blood after all. How could it have the essence of medicinal herbs? Under the fire, it naturally turned into ashes.

Zhang Xiaohua did not know. He thought that his control was wrong and could not be subtle enough. Thus, in the following month, he worked with the pill furnace and the seabird. Every day, he would use his flying sword to kill seabirds and throw them into the pill furnace to carry out his great plan of roasting meat.

Alas, it had to be said that this was the work of a man of great determination. The most direct result was that the number of seabirds around the deserted island had plummeted. The flying sword was controlled by him to the acme of perfection. As long as he had a thought, the flying sword would be like a black bolt of lightning, accurately hunting down seabirds. It was much better than his boring practice of the Nameless Sword Art.

Moreover, as long as the group of seabirds saw flying objects similar to the small sword, they would immediately spread their wings and fly high. Their speed was also faster and faster. As a result, the seabirds on this deserted island became the overlords of the surrounding waters. This was also a great contribution of Zhang Xiaohua.

It had to be said that nothing in the world was impossible for a determined person. In the end, this fellow really controlled the alchemy fire to the point of perfection. He actually managed to control the fire to the extent that he could roast meat. Eating with his mouth full of oil and looking at the few seabirds on the deserted island, Zhang Xiaohua was extremely proud.

Boredom was also the best fuel for cultivation.

Xiaohua was not cultivating the Immortal Dao, but loneliness!

When he finished the roast meat and wanted to familiarize himself with the pill furnace to carry out the alchemy experiment, he found that he did not have any herbs at all. How could he practice?

Thinking about it, he only had sealwort, which tasted sweet when he first ate it, but now he was tired of it. However, sealwort was also a kind of herb. Could it be used to refine pills?

Zhang Xiaohua closed his eyes and pondered. He read the contents of the alchemy book from the beginning to the end. Suddenly, his eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed a trace of a smile.

The "Fasting Pill" was a low-level pill made by using sealwort as the main ingredient and adding other common herbs. Its effect was to relieve thirst and hunger. This pill was specially prepared for Zhang Xiaohua as an experimental product!

Zhang Xiaohua shouted. He somersaulted on the top of the mountain and plunged into the soil. In a flash, he appeared in the field of sealwort and quickly dug out several pieces of sealwort from the soil. His figure flashed again, and in a flash, he came to the top of the mountain and threw one piece of sealwort into the alchemy furnace. He secretly remembered the steps of refining the "Fasting Pill", and silently recited the formula to stimulate the alchemy fire to refine the pill. The sealwort, which was as thick as an arm and covered with mud and leaves, turned into a pile of powder under the refining of the alchemy fire in a moment. It was the essence of the sealwort.

"Eh?

According to the alchemy book, refining the essence of herbs is the most difficult. If the fire is too hot, it will be burned to the ground. If the fire is too hot, it will not be refined. How can the essence of the sealwort be refined so easily by me?

Could it be that I'm the legendary genius?

Or is the Fasting Pill the most basic and easy to refine? "

He did not expect that since he could roast and eat seabirds, it would be a piece of cake for him to refine the essence of herbs with this method.

However, when he was condensing the pill, there was an accident. First, he increased his Genuine Qi and refined the powder into a liquid. When he injected the formula into the liquid in the alchemy furnace, a strong gravitational force was generated from the formula. In an instant, nearly half of the Genuine Qi in Zhang Xiaohua's body was extracted and was thrown into the alchemy furnace. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's formula was stagnant. With a crackling sound, the pill, which was about to take shape, disappeared in a flash. It turned into flying ash and scattered in the alchemy furnace.

Zhang Xiaohua's first alchemy failed.

Facing the failure of his first alchemy, Zhang Xiaohua did not seem to be depressed. He knew that alchemy was a delicate job. If he was careless, he would fail. Moreover, even if he could reach the last step of alchemy, if he was careless, he would still fail. The success rate of alchemy was too low. As early as when he was refining the essence, he was prepared for failure. It was already commendable that his first alchemy could reach the stage of taking shape.

Zhang Xiaohua closed his eyes and thought for a while. He recalled in detail the gains and losses of alchemy. Then, he looked at the alchemy furnace in his hand with a strange expression. Then, he took out four small Primordial Stones from his arms and put them into the four grooves in the furnace. Then, he injected the sealwort and Genuine Qi again. This time, he easily controlled the alchemy fire and refined the essence of the sealwort and condensed it into a liquid.

"It turns out that these grooves are used to install the Primordial Stones. No matter how much Genuine Qi I have, it is not enough to completely refine the elixir. Using the Primordial Stones' Primordial Qi is the real way of controlling fire."

This time, the condensing of the elixir was very smooth. However, when he was pulling the elixir, there was a problem. Pulling the elixir into several portions had a lot to do with the control of the Divine Sense and Magic Incantation. At the same time, it was also a place to improve the level of alchemy. The higher the level, the more elixirs he could pull. Thinking about it, for the same herbs, one could pull two elixirs, while the other could pull eight elixirs. Of course, there was a difference.

Zhang Xiaohua's Divine Sense was excellent. Inadvertently, seabirds landed on the ground. The Magic Incantation was also necessary. In the blink of an eye, he could escape into the ground. However, there were many problems in the cooperation. The subtle cooperation between the Divine Sense and the Magic Incantation was always lacking. He tried until the sky was completely dark, then he pulled out an elixir in front of him.

Yes, it was an elixir. The other elixir also turned to ashes.

Just this ugly, uneven oval elixir was an epoch-making symbol. It marked that Zhang Xiaohua had finally taken a small step in alchemy. At the same time, it was also a big step for the entire Immortal Dao. Ten thousand years later, there was someone who could refine the real Immortal Dao elixir!

Looking at the brownish-yellow elixir in his hand, it seemed to be some kind of unhealthy elixir. He carefully put it between his teeth and bit it. Unexpectedly, he couldn't bite it. When he wanted to use force again, he was afraid that his teeth would be broken. He hesitated for a moment and used his Divine Sense to sweep it. There was still the fluctuation of Genuine Qi inside. He didn't fail. Finally, he eliminated the idea of throwing this precious elixir to the ground.

"This is the first time I've successfully refined an elixir. It's a virgin elixir. I must not disrespect her. Anyway, it's also made with yellow essence. There's no reason for it to be poisonous. It's just that such a hard thing is comparable to a rock. I don't know if eating it will cause a stomachache."

Then, he clenched his teeth and acted like a hero. He closed his eyes and threw the elixir into his mouth. Just as he was about to swallow it, unexpectedly, the elixir melted in his mouth. Perhaps it turned into a liquid and flowed down his throat into his stomach. Then, a warm feeling came from his stomach. He had been feeling hungry for a long time, but in an instant, it disappeared without a trace!

"Aiya, it's really amazing. The thing that my teeth can't bite actually melted in my mouth. It's really worthy of being an Immortal Dao item. If … if grandma was still here, she would definitely like this elixir!"

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a little sad. She cast a spell and the elixir furnace shrunk to the size of a palm. She put it in her arms and stopped cultivating. She sat on the rock at the top of the mountain and looked at the colorful clouds in the sky and the turbulent waves on the sea. For a moment, she was actually stunned!

"The things in this world are so beautiful, and life is so short. Even if family is warm, it will only last for a few decades. Everyone is just a skeleton and a handful of mud.

I remember Sister-in-law once said that in ancient times, there were immortals who lived as long as the heavens. That was such a carefree realm. Immortal Dao, Immortal Dao. Since I'm an immortal, there must be a way to live forever. But in this Carefree Heart Sutra, even up to the eighteenth level, there's no mention of the word 'live forever'. How can there be any talk of living forever? "

"But even if I become immortal, I'll still be all alone on this deserted island. No one knows me. No father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and the others. What's the point of that?

Hehe, wait for a few hundred grandsons and great-grandsons to call me Old Ancestor. It'll be interesting. "

Looking at the sun gradually moving to the west and dyeing the blue sky with endless heat, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was burning with passion. "If there's a way to live forever in this world, there must be a way to live forever. Since I've entered the Immortal Dao, I'll naturally do my best to search for that fleeting glimmer of hope. Just like the endless brilliance of the sun, I'll bless my family. Grandmother passed away early. Father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, and second brother. Yes, and the child in eldest sister-in-law's arms. For them, I'll do my best."

Having made up her mind, the flame in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes also disappeared. Her eyes were full of determination. She stood up and looked at the black clouds that had already surged over the sea in the east. There had never been a moment like this … hope. Let the storm come more fiercely!!!
