Chapter 573

According to the records in the 'Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace', the True Samadhi Fire was a fire born from wood fire, stone fire and air fire. It was the fire necessary to refine top grade elixirs.

And this True Samadhi Fire was also a fire specially used by Qi cultivators. It was different from the fire in the mortal world. Normal water could not extinguish it. It was a hundred times stronger than the fire that Zhang Xiaohua could produce now.

Looking at the faint red flame in the pill furnace, Zhang Xiaohua did not seem to feel its heat. Thus, he took out a piece of jade from his bosom and used a small sword to cut off a piece. He threw it into the flame. With a "chi" sound, the thumb-sized piece of jade immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua nodded secretly and cut off another piece. After casting a spell into the flame, he threw the jade piece into the flame. This time, the jade piece did not turn into green smoke. Instead, under the tempering of the flame, it gradually shrank and finally became a piece of jade liquid the size of a soybean. Zhang Xiaohua waved his hand and the jade liquid flew out of the furnace and stopped in front of Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua used his eyes to look at the jade liquid and used his divine sense to scan it. That jade liquid actually had a slight fluctuation of vitality.

"The True Samadhi Fire is indeed amazing!"

Zhang Xiaohua sighed secretly. "It's just that this fire is used to refine high grade elixirs. Normally, refining low grade elixirs is like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. It's not worth it."

After extinguishing the True Samadhi Fire, Zhang Xiaohua looked along the eight sides of the furnace. There were openings on all eight sides of the furnace and each opening had a name. They were: Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan.

These eight openings had their own corresponding formations. When refining elixirs, according to the attributes of the herbs, if different herbs were thrown into different openings for tempering, the medicinal properties would be increased by 85% and the success rate of refining elixirs would be increased by 75%.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. He already had some experience with the attributes of herbs. It should be divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. How could there be the Eight Trigrams attribute here?

He had even set up eight arrays according to the eight attributes. Furthermore, there was the phrase "pill success rate". Could it be that refining high level pills was really that difficult?

However, the current Zhang Xiaohua could only refine low-tier medicinal pills. She hadn't even come into contact with middle-tier medicinal pills. How would she know the difficulties of high-tier medicinal pills?

Fortunately, since this "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" could refine high-tier medicinal pills, if she didn't use the True Samadhi Fire, it would be the same as the Rejuvenation Valley's furnace. It was more than enough to refine the "Meridian Soothing Pill".

The flames on the platform below the furnace were magical. It was different from the Earth Fire in the Rejuvenation Valley and the Pill Department on the west side of Heaven Eye Peak. This flame was burning on the platform out of thin air. After Zhang Xiaohua finished observing the True Samadhi Fire, she extinguished the flames on the platform. Very naturally, she swept her divine sense over the platform. There were complicated symbols carved on the platform. It seemed to be a kind of formation. Presumably, the Earth Fire could be connected to the bottom of the platform and this formation was to restrict the Earth Fire.

"The Pill Department on the west side of Heaven Eye Peak should have been the same as the platform in this Pill Department. It was just that no one was able to perform the incantation, or did not know how to ignite the fire. They had no choice but to tear down the platform and install a mechanism to control the Earth Fire. Perhaps Rejuvenation Valley was the same ten thousand years ago." Zhang Xiaohua thought.

After lamenting the wonders of the Immortal Dao, Zhang Xiaohua struck out several incantations according to the records on the furnace. That "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" actually shrank a lot like a small furnace. Zhang Xiaohua took out her money pouch and took out the pile of jade coffin lids. She tried to store the furnace inside as well.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua took out the two pill furnaces and piled the unimportant items in the money pouch on the ground to free up the space in the money pouch.

That was because there were still many medicinal herbs piled up on the mountainside of Heaven Eye Peak. They were all needed for refining pills. Although they were worthless in the eyes of the Pill Expanding Hall disciples, it was better to store them as soon as possible.

However, it was indeed a little troublesome to pack them up. If she put all these jade boxes into the money pouch and brought them back to the Pill Department, it would definitely attract the attention of the other disciples. At the very least, Chen Fengxiao would doubt how she did it or where these jade boxes were placed.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua turned her gaze to the pile of jade coffin lids. Only by refining them into jade boxes to store the medicinal herbs could she take away the medicinal herbs in the jade boxes.

She did as she said. Anyway, there was Earth Fire in this Pill Department. She could just treat it as familiarizing herself with refining weapons.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua raised the Earth Fire again and broke open the jade. She wanted to refine a batch of jade boxes of different sizes.

The jade boxes for storing medicinal herbs looked inconspicuous, but in fact, they were quite troublesome. It would be easy if they were slender cubes like those of the Pill Expanding Hall disciples of the Chuanxiang Cult. However, Zhang Xiaohua's jade boxes needed to be set with inhibition. After making only a few, she felt that her Genuine Qi was not enough, so she had to stop to replenish her Genuine Qi.

She did this and stopped until it was late. However, she only made about ten of them.

Feeling that it was getting late, Zhang Xiaohua extinguished the Earth Fire and went out directly without packing up.

On Tianmu Peak, the sun had already set in the west. There was only a trace of light in the west, and the east had long been hidden in darkness. Zhang Xiaohua came out of the cave and felt that someone was looking at her. She used her Spiritual Awareness and found that it was Bai Huan who was squatting behind a big tree.

Zhang Xiaohua pretended that she did not know. She walked slowly to the medicine field and looked down carefully. Bai Huan came out from behind the tree and said loudly, "Junior Brother Ren, it's already dark. Why are you still wandering in the medicine field?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked up and smiled, "So it's Senior Brother Bai. Alas, I stayed in the cave for a day and was very bored, so I came out for a walk.

Oh, the medicine field is not germinating. I don't know why.

If we can find the reason, won't we be able to hold our heads high? "

"Forget it," Bai Huan said disdainfully, "Originally, the 'Star Tree Fruit' was planted at the top of Tian Mu Peak, which was the main ingredient for refining elixirs by the inner disciples. Moreover, it was growing very well, with a medicinal age of twenty years. But four or five years ago, our Hall Master suddenly led the inner disciples here and searched all over the peak for a suitable place. In the end, they settled on these few medicinal fields and plucked all the original Star Tree Fruits and transplanted them to the side. Only then did they plant some unknown seeds. Well, since then, they have never sprouted. Moreover, those inner disciples would come here every year to check and dig out the seeds to take a look. From time to time, they would even change the seeds. How can we do something that even the inner disciples can't do?

It's almost the same as a dream! "

"Four or five years ago?" Zhang Xiaohua narrowed her eyes and thought, "Wasn't that the time when the Misty School was destroyed?

Was it also when the Incense Cult attacked the Misty Villa?

Could it be that the disciples of the Incense Cult saw the germinating seeds of the Misty Villa and thought of planting them themselves?

But, I don't know what kind of herbs were planted in the Misty Villa and what kind of herbs were planted in the Incense Cult? "

"However, since even the germination of the seeds requires very rich Qi of Heaven and Earth, this kind of herb must be extremely rare or something that has long been extinct!

But since it is an extinct herb, where did they get the seeds?

Well, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Incense Cult is richer than outside, maybe it can preserve the seeds. Oh, what about the Huan Xi Villa?

They can't preserve it, can they?

Alas, forget it, don't think about it. I'll just ask Sister Ou Yan when I have the chance in the future. "

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and said, "That's not necessarily true. The inner disciples are only stronger than us in martial arts. When it comes to planting herbs, doesn't the whole Incense Cult rely on the Grass Brothers of the Pill Expanding Hall?"

Bai Huan was also beaming with joy. "Junior Brother Ren is right. The herbs we use to spread the Incense Cult are really the hard work of our brothers from the Grass Division."

Then she changed the topic, "But, we only plant ordinary herbs. The ones that don't germinate must be rare herbs. That is not the specialty of our Grass Division."

"Hey, you also know that it is a rare herb?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Huan beat him to it, "Anyway, I'm not interested in this. As long as I water, weed, and do my job well, I'll wait for the inner disciples to check.

Oh, if Junior Brother Ren is interested in this, you may pay more attention to it. If you can really find the way to germinate, then you will really be rich. You can get the favor of the inner disciples and become an outer disciple, or go to the inner disciple to learn alchemy. It will be easy for you. "

Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Do inner disciples also practice alchemy?"

Bai Huan shook her head: "Inner disciples themselves don't refine elixirs. They have special alchemists who refine elixirs for them. Each of these alchemists is regarded as powerful by the old consecrators of our Pill Department. It is said that only the alchemists of their inner sect can refine 'Jade Rejuvenation Elixir'. You can never imagine the treatment they receive."

"Eh?

What kind of treatment can I not imagine?

Oh, by the way, how do the inner alchemists practice alchemy? "

"This …" Bai Huan was a little hesitant, and said, "To be honest, I have only seen the disciples of the Pill Department practice alchemy. The few old alchemists are not as good as us. How can I know how the inner disciples practice alchemy?

Their treatment is just a rumor. How can disciples like us enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak? "

"Can't we go to the Lingering Fragrance Peak?" Zhang Xiaohua was a little curious.

"Well, only the inner disciples, those who are related to the inner disciples, and the hall masters and deputy hall masters of each hall can enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak. Others can't enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak."

"What about the outer disciples?"

"The outer disciples are just disciples of the Wuming Hall. Of course, they can't enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak. However, if an outer disciple is very outstanding and can be favored by the inner alchemists or inner teachers, he can enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak. Well, by the way, if an outer disciple can pass the inner assessment, he can also enter the Lingering Fragrance Peak. Alas, unfortunately, as far as I know, it has been 655 years. Except for a genius 855 years ago, no one is qualified to take the inner assessment."

"Inner assessment?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned again. This was the first time she had heard of it.

"Well, the outer disciples have an assessment. If they pass it, they can be qualified to travel in Jianghu. The results of this assessment are divided into three grades, high, medium, and low. Only with a high grade can they be qualified to take the inner assessment. It has been hundreds of years since anyone got a high grade in the outer assessment."
