"Chenless Pill" is a third-grade elixir, and its medicinal strength is just right for foundation-building cultivators.
Normally speaking, the four major sects and many alchemy masters can refine the third-grade elixir, but the "Dustless Pill" has always been in short supply and is rarely seen in the market.
The reason is that the raw materials are extremely difficult to find. When Li Yan and his team entered the secret realm to collect them, one of the tasks assigned to the foundation-building cultivators was to obtain the raw materials for some precious elixirs including the "Dustless Pill".
Zuo Qiu Dan gave out two pills at once. Although he said that Wei Chongran could find this pill, it was already extremely precious.
At the beginning, Wei Chongran had to spend a lot of effort to get one for Li Wuyi.
After Li Yan took the green bottle, he bowed deeply to Zuo Qiudan and planned to send this master of alchemy to the cave entrance.
Zuo Qiudan waved his hand, indicating that Li Yan didn't need to see him off, and he walked straight towards the cave entrance, leaving in a clean and decisive manner.
"Brown, please follow me. I still need to explain something to you."
Bro had no intention of following him. He hoped that the young master would go to talk to other Jindan cultivators and perhaps forget to take the magic weapon in his bamboo basket.
When I heard Zuo Qiudan was about to leave, I didn't say anything in the hope of avoiding him.
But Zuo Qiudan's voice finally came through. Looking at Zuo Qiudan's back, Bro had to stand up from the stone bench reluctantly.
As he passed by Li Yan, he bowed to Li Yan listlessly.
"Brother Li, I'll take my leave now. Oh, that 'Dustless Pill' was improved by the young master. He refined five pills in total. He gave me two earlier, and now he only has one."
After saying this, the man disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Looking at the two people's disappearing backs, Li Yan held the green bottle in his hand and muttered to himself, "The improved pill, this is the purpose of Senior Zuo taking out this pill."
Sensing that the two had left, Li Yan waved his sleeves forward, and the restriction outside the cave was opened again.
In the cave, Li Yan had opened the stopper of the green bottle. A fresh fragrance permeated his nose, and a ray of green light shone through the mouth of the bottle, turning half of Li Yan into a green color.
Li Yan suddenly felt cool all over, as if he had gone from the scorching heat of midsummer to the coolness of autumn. The entire cave suddenly became full of life.
As the coolness entered his body, all the tendons and veins in Li Yan's body seemed to become extremely light, and his mind was as calm as a mirror, so that he could not have any distracting thoughts.
"Dustless... Dustless..."
Feeling the tranquility in his spiritual consciousness, Li Yan silently recited the word "Wu Chen" in his heart.
Li Yan had never seen the real "Dustless Pill" before, but now just opening the bottle cork produced such an unexpected effect.
Li Yan could imagine the effect of calming the mind and suppressing evil spirits when he swallowed this pill when he was in the process of forming the elixir.
Li Yan took a few greedy puffs, and after a while, he slowly woke up from the silence.
He turned the bottle upside down, and two translucent pills shining with crystal green light appeared in his palm.
As the pills entered his hand, a comfortable feeling as if the whole world was cooled went straight into Li Yan's palm, and the two pills seemed to be melted into Li Yan's palm in the next moment.
Li Yan was startled, and quickly released spiritual power from his hands. A black mist wrapped up the two pills, and the two pills finally calmed down.
Two emerald-like pills twinkled in the black mist, adding some weird colors to the two pills for no reason.
Li Yan stared at a pill carefully. The pill was only the size of a grain of rice, and there were light black lines on its crystal-clear surface.
These lines kept changing as the green surface flickered. Sometimes black light was wandering, sometimes gray light was flickering, just like tiny elves dancing.
"Is this a fourth-grade elixir?"
Li Yan couldn't help but be surprised. Although Bro said that it was an improved pill, judging from the appearance of the pill, it was clearly two fourth-grade pills.
Although Li Yan had never seen the "Chenless Pill", he still knew about it. The "Chenless Pill" itself was only a third-grade pill, and its formula could only produce third-grade pills.
The so-called improvement is generally just to remove impurities from the elixir itself, which will slightly improve the efficacy of the elixir.
A pill recipe like the "Chenless Pill" has been around for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, and has been improved by countless people. It is now as mature as it can be.
Even if one wants to remove a trace of impurities, it is extremely difficult. It can be said that no one has been able to improve the effectiveness of the "Dustless Pill" for at least a thousand years.
The two "Dustless Pills" in his hand actually reached the fourth grade, which means that Zuo Qiu Dan was a completely improved pill formula.
Li Yan didn't know whether the other three people who had become alchemy masters on the Wild Moon Continent could do this, but it was obvious that he had never heard of the existence of the fourth-grade "Dustless Pill".
Looking at the pill in his hand, Li Yan couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
"What a 'dividing yin and yang'! This is the level of understanding one must have about elixirs to achieve this. In this respect alone, Senior Zuo has surpassed many senior elixir masters."
If the ordinary "Dustless Pill" can increase the chance of forming a pill by 20%, Li Yan believes that any "Dustless Pill" in his hand can at least increase the chance of forming a pill by 40%, which is already a heaven-defying pill.
If all kinds of luck are accumulated, it is possible to increase the chance of forming a pill to 50%, which is a major improvement that raises the grade of a pill to a higher level. If this pill is released, even if Li Yan is a disciple of the Wuliang Sect, it will attract endless assassinations and robberies.
Every 10% increase in the medicinal power of a elixir is something that is desired but cannot be obtained, not to mention such a huge increase from the third grade to the fourth grade, which is enough to make every foundation-building cultivator crazy.
"It's really generous of you to refine five in total. You're giving me two. Even if it's just one of them, if it's used as a reward, it can attract hundreds or even thousands of protectors for Bro."
Only at this moment did Li Yan realize the preciousness of the elixir in his hand.
But he could also guess that it must have cost Zuo Qiudan a huge amount of money to refine these five "Dustless Pills". Just by listening to the meaning of Bro's words, he could guess that after refining only five pills, there was no follow-up.
He was right in his guess. After Zuo Qiudan improved the recipe of "Wuchen Pill", he had been looking for materials for alchemy.
The last time he went to the "Northern Ming Demon Suppression Tower" was for a kind of main material, which he had exchanged at a great cost from some old monsters on the third floor.
Moreover, after this refining, he will basically never refine this kind of "Dustless Pill" again. In other words, if the fourth-grade "Dustless Pill" he improved has no successor.
From now on, there will probably never be a sixth fourth-grade "Dustless Pill" in the world.
The reason for this is that the raw materials consumed in refining a fourth-grade elixir far exceed the value of normally refining a fourth-grade elixir, which is not worth the cost.
Another reason is that Zuo Qiu Dan will only continue to advance towards sixth-grade and seventh-grade elixirs in the future, so why would it still waste time and effort on refining fourth-grade elixirs
If Li Yan knew this, he would be able to appreciate even more the preciousness of the two pills in his hand.
Li Yan carefully looked at the two pills in his hand again, then reluctantly put the two pills back into the green bottle, and then placed them into the soil spot with great care.
"Chen Ying should be about to form a pill, maybe she can use it!"
Li Yan felt that this thing should be given to Long Chenying and Zhao Min.
Just according to the time calculation, when Zhao Min returned from the mountain village, she had already shown signs of breaking through the bottleneck of the late foundation building stage. Now she may be in the late foundation building stage, and there is still a long way to go before she can form a pill.
As for himself, he has great confidence in the "Guishui Sutra" and should be able to successfully form the elixir without the help of any other elixir.
Li Yan is just like this. He is not stingy with people around him. He has already thought about giving away this kind of heaven-defying elixir.
Today, Zuo Qiudan not only taught him many skills in alchemy, but also took out two such precious pills. This was not only a repayment of Li Yan's favor, but he had already shown some kindness to Li Yan by teaching him.
This is to let Li Yan take better care of Bro in the future. Li Yan understands this, after all, Bro is a member of his team.
This damn war between the two tribes still has to continue, and Zuo Qiudan, who is a Jindan cultivator, obviously has other tasks to do. How can he take care of Bro by his side
There was another reason that Li Yan didn't know. If it weren't for the sudden invasion of the demons, Zuo Qiudan would have already traveled far away to find his own immortal destiny.
What he was most worried about was Bro, who was both a servant and a son. Given Bro's personality, it was extremely rare for him to make friends with a powerful cultivator like Li Yan.
Moreover, after learning about Li Yan's identity, he felt more relieved that the character of the disciple taught by Wei Chongran would definitely not be too bad.
Especially when Li Yan was in the "Northern Ming Demon Tower", knowing that Bro was carrying a treasure, he did not kill him and take his bamboo basket. This is enough to illustrate Li Yan's character.
With Li Yan's background as a cultivator from one of the four major sects, Bro had found a big tree.
The Zuo family is very important in the Pure Land Sect, but Bro is not a direct descendant of the Zuo family. In the final analysis, he is just a slave. After he leaves, it is impossible for the people of the Zuo family to treat Bro as a blood relative.
Due to various reasons, Zuo Qiudan, who originally wanted to take out only one "Chenless Pill", ended up adding another one and also gave Li Yan more guidance on his alchemy skills.
Even if Li Yan does not specialize in alchemy in the future, it will open a shortcut door to alchemy for him, allowing him to avoid many detours.
I think with Li Yan's intelligence, he would understand the meaning without him explaining it.
Li Yan certainly didn't know all the thoughts in Zuo Qiudan's mind, but he understood the point about caring about Bro.
In fact, even if there was no "Dustless Pill", considering the large number of Jindan demon cultivators who came a few days ago and Bro's last message telling him to escape quickly, Li Yan would have tried his best to help Bro when he was in trouble.
After collecting his thoughts, Li Yan felt that it was time to enter the "Tuban" space to see the Snow Mosquito King's practice. He wondered if the mosquito had been poisoned and fainted.
But just when Li Yan raised his spiritual consciousness, his expression froze again, and he couldn't help but look outside the cave.
"There are really a lot of things going on today. Who is this?"
As Li Yan thought this in his heart, he raised one hand and pointed towards the cave entrance.
The next moment, with a "swoosh", a green light flashed in from the cave entrance and flew directly towards him, and was caught by Li Yan.
Just now, his consciousness suddenly sensed a sound transmission note flying from afar, and it immediately plunged into the magic circle restriction outside the cave.
Then, like a dizzy fly, it bumped around in the magic circle.
