Chapter 485

Valley Head Nie's wishful thinking of exchanging resources for skills had failed, so he went out to discuss with Elder Zhang in disappointment.

Zhang Xiaohua wasn't worried that Rejuvenation Valley wouldn't agree. The formula and refining method of the Crimson Flame Pill were clearly stated in the prescription. Now, Rejuvenation Valley's "Decoction Method" would definitely not succeed. Even if Valley Head Nie successfully imitated the vital energy she imparted to him, the success rate of refining the Crimson Flame Pill was only thirty percent. Although the conditions she proposed were harsh, it was just that they weren't allowed to watch some parts of the process. Not to mention that the entire process would improve Rejuvenation Valley's alchemy, even the Crimson Flame Pill that was successfully refined in the end was something that Valley Head Nie and Elder Zhang coveted.

How could Elder Zhang not agree?

How could he not agree?

It was recorded in Rejuvenation Valley's prescription that taking the Crimson Flame Pill in combination with Rejuvenation Valley's secret internal energy cultivation method could increase one's cultivation by five to ten years. This was an absolutely fatal temptation to any Jianghu person. It was also the first medicinal pill that came to Elder Zhang's mind when he knew that Zhang Xiaohua could refine pills using the ancient method.

And in Zhang Xiaohua's jade slip on immortal pills, another name for the Crimson Flame Pill was "Meridian Nourishing Pill". Its effect was to nourish the meridians and expand the meridians. It wasn't considered a top grade medicinal pill, and it wasn't even considered a middle grade medicinal pill. Moreover, things like the Crimson Pearl Grass and the Bright Sun Grass weren't considered extremely rare medicinal herbs in ancient times. It was just that the Qi of Heaven and Earth had drastically decreased and many of these medicinal herbs had gone extinct, which showed the preciousness of this medicinal pill.

When Valley Head Nie left the pill room, Zhang Xiaohua took out the jade slip. He had wanted to take a closer look at it a few days ago, but refining the small flag really took a lot of effort, which was why he kept delaying it.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't plan to refine the Crimson Flame Pill from the start. He only wanted to refine the Meridian Soothing Pill according to the jade slip. After all, the method he used was the Immortal Dao's alchemy. If he really used the method of imitating True Qi to refine the Crimson Flame Pill, it would be better to let Valley Master Nie refine it himself.

Moreover, through this period of refining pills, Zhang Xiaohua had also discovered that although Rejuvenation Valley's pill recipe was based on the martial way's pill refinement method, there were still traces of the Immortal Dao's pill refinement method in its bones. Previously, all of his pills had been refined successfully using the martial way's method before using the Immortal Dao's method. Moreover, the latter's color and quality were several times better than the former's. This was also the main reason why he wanted to directly refine the Meridian Soothing Pill and not the Crimson Flame Pill.

After carefully looking through the formula and refining process of the Meridian Soothing Pill, Zhang Xiaohua felt that this Meridian Soothing Pill was only slightly more complicated than the basic pill. The time spent in the middle was longer, but the other steps were more or less the same. There were only two more types of spells, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua already had experience in refining small flags, so he didn't dare to underestimate things that he hadn't tried before. He could only guarantee the possibility of refining the pill from various aspects.

After he finished looking through the jade slip, Zhang Xiaohua took out the formula and refining steps of the Crimson Flame Pill for reference. However, it was a martial way's alchemy method after all, and was much cruder. There were many places where it wasn't suitable and even felt that there were some errors. Zhang Xiaohua shook his head as he continued reading. But when he reached the end, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly frowned. Why do you think this is?

It turned out that in the jade slip, the Meridian Soothing Pill was a fiery red pill the size of a soybean. But in the scroll, the Crimson Flame Pill was a brownish red pill the size of a thumb. The color and size of these pills were all different, so could they be the same pill?

Could it be that the formulas of the two pills were different?

Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua thought of the Hundred Herbs Compendium. She hurriedly took out the thin jade slip and carefully searched for the herbs required for the Meridian Soothing Pill. As a low-level pill, the Meridian Soothing Pill had many ingredients. Other than the Bright Sun Grass and Crimson Pearl Grass, there were more than ten other ingredients. Zhang Xiaohua looked through them one by one and memorized their names and appearances in her mind. Then, she compared them with the ingredients for the Crimson Flame Pill that she had just memorized. Other than the main ingredient, the other ingredients for the Meridian Soothing Pill were close to ten other ingredients. Among them, there were close to seven herbs that were similar to the ones for the Meridian Soothing Pill. Although their names were different, the effects and appearance of the herbs were very similar. Unsurprisingly, it should be the same type of herb. The other herbs were either different or did not exist.

Zhang Xiaohua kept the jade slip and stroked her chin, thinking to herself. She did not need to think too hard to figure out that with the annihilation of the Immortal Dao, the art of refining pills had also changed. The formula for the Meridian Soothing Pill might have been passed down, but some of the herbs in it were also extinct. When a martial arts alchemist obtained such a precious formula, he naturally wanted to refine it. Based on his own experience, he changed the herbs in it. As time passed, this formula had been refined by many experienced alchemists and was modified into the formula for the Crimson Flame Pill. The refining method was also almost completely changed.

As for the difference in this pill, it was even easier to explain. The herbs were changed and the refining method was also completely different. How could they be the same?

However, Zhang Xiaohua still had some doubts. How could the Meridian Soothing Pill be smaller than the Crimson Flame Pill?

Martial arts alchemy was obviously born out of the Immortal Dao. How could the pill refined be better than the Immortal Dao?

Thus, another problem arose. If she refined the Meridian Soothing Pill, how could she explain the relationship between these pills and the Crimson Flame Pill?

But then, Zhang Xiaohua laughed. She thought to herself, "I'll just say that I failed in refining the pill. What else can I say?

Anyway, it's my first time refining, so it's normal to fail. If I have extra time, I'll use the cauldron to refine the real Crimson Flame Pill. But then, the chances of success will not be as good as the Meridian Soothing Pill. "

After making up her mind, Zhang Xiaohua did not try to make a last-minute effort. She took out the incantation for concealing her cultivation level from the God's Guidance and continued her unfinished comprehension.

Seeing that the people from the Aroma Cult were about to arrive, it would be best if she finished comprehending it before they arrived and concealed her Immortal Dao cultivation level. If she was discovered, it would be very bad.

The beginning of this incantation was very cryptic. Zhang Xiaohua tried to comprehend it several times and always felt like she had grasped something. But she just could not understand it and was stuck there. She did not make much progress. It was the same today. Zhang Xiaohua felt vexed. Just as she was about to get up and walk around the inner valley, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning. Two days ago, when she had a splitting headache, she was resting beside Ling Long Hong in the inner valley. She did not release her divine sense nor did she use any divine abilities. Why did she feel like she was one with her surroundings?

Why was she able to sense Valley Master Nie's arrival?

Didn't concealing her cultivation level mean that she had to hide her vital energy within her body and not let others see it?

Wasn't this exactly the same feeling she had a few days ago?

Following this train of thought, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of the Dao of Heaven. Everything in this world was under the Dao of Heaven and secretly followed the Dao of Heaven. Also, the last time she made a breakthrough, Nie Qianyu said that she looked more ordinary. Wasn't that the same reason?

Zhang Xiaohua was suddenly enlightened. The Dao of Heaven was really the origin of all things. Not daring to delay any longer, Zhang Xiaohua put her comprehension of the Dao of Heaven together with the incantation. Not long after, the previous sluggishness actually loosened. Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. She quickly sat down again and closed her eyes to comprehend.

At the same time, in the inner valley, on one side of Zhang Xiaohua's pill room, Elder Zhang frowned. He was unusually angry and asked in a deep voice, "Valley Master, did Ren Shaoxia really make such a request?"

Valley Master Nie helplessly said, "Yes, Elder Zhang. I've already said it five times. Don't ask anymore.

Tell me, are we going to refine or not? "

Elder Zhang was also in a difficult position. Of course he made an agreement with Zhang Xiaohua to refine the Crimson Flame Pill. His purpose was to refine it together with Zhang Xiaohua. Not only could he observe the alchemy technique, he could also obtain the Crimson Flame Pill. Killing two birds with one stone. But when it came down to it, she didn't let him watch from the side. His wishful thinking had failed, how could he not be ashamed and angry?

"Forget it, I'll go find Ren Shaoxia and ask. Ren Shaoxia is loyal and righteous. How can he be so stingy?"

Elder Zhang finished speaking and was about to get up. Valley Master Nie grabbed him and said with a bitter smile, "Elder Zhang, do you think you know Ren Shaoxia better than I do?"

Elder Zhang looked at him and said, "Of course not. No matter what, he is still your future father-in-law in name. How can I compare to you?"

Valley Master Nie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Elder Zhang, please don't say that again. You'll make Ren Shaoxia angry. He only lent a helping hand. We can't be unkind."

Elder Zhang snorted disdainfully, "Forget it. If he didn't have some feelings for Little Yu, would he have done this?

You and I are both experienced people. Who doesn't understand? "

Valley Master Nie looked at this elder who was much older than him and was really speechless.

He only said, "With my understanding of Ren Shaoxia, if it wasn't for the sect's special instructions, he wouldn't have refused like this. That's right, haven't you been urging Ren Shaoxia to refine the Crimson Flame Pill? Do you know why I haven't told him?"

Elder Zhang said unhappily, "How would I know? You've been evading me again and again. I don't even know where your elbow is leaning."

Valley Master Nie smiled lightly and told him about the Weapon Forging Sect. Of course, he didn't tell him about the 《Textless Heavenly Book》.

"Ah?

The Weapon Forging Sect's Five Elements Formation. Aiyo, that brat Si Yakong actually stayed in the outer valley for so long just for this Five Elements Formation. Let me think, I seem to have heard his master talk about this mysterious thing before.

Could it be that Ren Shaoxia just let Little Yu copy it and impart the Five Elements Formation to our Rejuvenation Valley? "

Valley Master Nie also couldn't hide his excitement and said, "That's right.

Tell me, if Ren Shaoxia did this, how could I suspect anything else?

It must be that Ren Shaoxia has a reason that he can't let us know. "

Elder Zhang also nodded when he heard this. "Mm, not bad. The key is that he still wants to leave this Crimson Flame Pill for our Rejuvenation Valley. Even if we don't look at it, it's worth it!"

"Then it's decided. Elder Zhang, tomorrow morning, I'll bring a few jade boxes stored in the valley and we'll pick the ingredients for the Crimson Flame Pill."

"Okay, we'll do this tomorrow!"
