Logically speaking, if she asked an alchemist with superb alchemy skills to help, the chance of refining the Soul-Replenishing Pill would be higher. However, in order to gather the materials for three furnaces, she almost spent all her money. How could she have extra money to ask a high-level alchemist for help
She was just a casual cultivator and did not know any alchemists with high-level alchemy skills. High-level alchemists were very popular among other cultivators. There were so many people who wanted to ask alchemists for help in making pills, but Mu Xue would never get a chance.
The longer she delayed, the weaker she became.
The Tiandan Sect was well-known in the Qingli Sea for its alchemy skills. Mu Xue considered asking the Qingtian Dan Sect's alchemist for help, but she didn't know any of the Tiandan Sect's third-level alchemists. The most important point was that she was rather weak now. If she went to ask the Tiandan Sect's alchemist for help, there was no guarantee that the other party would have murderous intentions.
When she was chatting with Bailing Sanren, she learned that Han Changming's alchemy skills were not low. The most important point was that the Han family had just risen, and Han Changming was only in the early stage of Dan Jie, so he could not pose much threat to her.
"Soul-replenishing pill!"
A flash of surprise crossed Han Changming's eyes. His family did not have the recipe for the soul-replenishing pill, and pills that repaired the soul were extremely precious.
Mu Xue flew to Han Changming, took out a blue storage bag, and handed it to Han Changming with both hands.
Han Changming scanned the area with his spiritual sense and said, "I can help, but I have to be frank. I can't guarantee success. If I fail, I won't pay you a penny. If I succeed, I'll ask for a reward."
This is a routine practice, and Han Changming is not trying to make things difficult for Mu Xue.
Bai Ling San Ren said quickly: "Of course, I'll trouble you, Brother Han. We'll come back after a while."
"Han originally had something to do, but since you were introduced by Fellow Daoist Dai, I will make the elixir for you first! Just come back to Huludao in three days, and I hope I can help you."
Han Changming's tone was calm, and by saying this he gave Bailing Sanren enough face.
Now it is others who are begging him, not him begging others. If Han Changming helps to refine the elixir again in a year, Mu Xue dare not say no.
The smile on Bailing Sanren's face deepened, and he said in a flattering tone: "Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Han. Don't worry, if you can succeed in refining it, Madam Mu will definitely not treat you unfairly. Even if you can't refine it, Madam Mu will not blame you. Fellow Daoist Han is willing to help in your busy schedule, and we are very grateful."
Mu Xue nodded and promised solemnly: "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Han. After the matter is completed, I will definitely give Fellow Daoist Han a satisfactory reward."
She still had no confidence in Han Changming, and it was too early to talk about compensation now.
Han Changming didn't care. If he could refine the soul-replenishing pill, it would not be a matter of how much Mu Xue gave him, but how much he wanted. How much money and property he could take depended on whether Han Changming could refine the soul-replenishing pill.
"Come back in three days! I'm going to start refining the elixir."
Han Changming turned around and flew back to Huludao. Bailing Sanren and Mu Xue looked at each other and flew away.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on a green cushion. He took out a blue storage bag and poured out the materials inside, a pile of wooden boxes and a jade slip.
His spiritual consciousness immersed in the jade slip. Not long after, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face. The soul-replenishing pill was made with the inner elixir of a third-grade, top-grade soul-devouring beast as the main ingredient, and more than a dozen four-hundred-year-old spiritual medicines as auxiliary ingredients. The materials prepared by Mu Xue could be used to refine three furnaces.
Han Changming closed his eyes, rested his mind, and meditated to regulate his breathing.
He had been refining medicine and was a little tired, so he needed to take a good rest.
······
Three days passed quickly.
Bailing Sanren and Mu Xue arrived in Huludao as promised. Bailing Sanren sent a sound transmission talisman, but there was no response for a long time.
"Friend Dai, Friend Han hasn't come out for so long, could it be that the refining has failed?"
Mu Xue frowned, her face full of worry. She almost spent all her money to get the three materials. If Han Changming failed to refine it, she would have no place to cry.
"That shouldn't be the case! Let's wait a little longer!"
Bailing Sanren's tone was a little uncertain. It was normal for a third-level alchemist to fail a few times when refining a new pill. Mu Xue only had three sets of materials, so it was understandable that she failed in all of them.
Bailing Sanren had asked a third-level alchemist to make pills before. He prepared four sets of materials, but the other party was unable to make a single pill.
An hour passed and still no one came out of Huludao. Mu Xue's face turned ugly and she no longer held any hope.
"Fellow Daoist Dai, if Fellow Daoist Han fails in his refining, please ask him to come out and see us!"
Mu Xue sighed and said, Han Changming must have failed in refining the alchemy and it was not convenient for him to show up to see people. The matter was done and there was no point in blaming Han Changming. Even if the deal failed, the friendship remained. No matter what, Han Changming was a third-rank alchemist and it would be nice to have a good relationship with him.
Bailing Sanren nodded with a wry smile and was about to send another sound transmission note. At this moment, a yellow light flew out from Huludao and landed in front of them. It was Han Changming.
Han Changming looked slightly tired, but his face was full of smiles.
Seeing this scene, Bailing Sanren and Mu Xue were alert.
"Friend Han, what's going on?"
Mu Xue asked impatiently, looking nervous.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and successfully refined a soul-replenishing pill, but..."
Han Changming changed his tone and looked at Mu Xue with interest.
Mu Xue's expression became excited. She took out a green jade box, handed it to Han Changming, and said respectfully: "Fellow Daoist Han, there is a Fu Jin fruit and 20,000 spirit stones in it."
One Fu Jin fruit is worth nearly 100,000 spirit stones, plus 20,000 spirit stones, the reward has exceeded 100,000. The soul-replenishing pill cannot be sold for more than 100,000 spirit stones. However, for Mu Xue, as long as it can repair the soul, it is all worth it. She rewarded Han Changming with a large sum of money, and also intended to make friends with Han Changming.
With only three ingredients, Han Changming can refine a soul-replenishing pill. It can be seen that Han Changming's alchemy skills are indeed not low. Making friends with Han Changming may save his life in the future.
Her life is worth more than hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
Han Changming was not polite. He accepted Mu Xue's reward, took out a green wooden box and handed it to Mu Xue.
Mu Xue opened the wooden box and saw a black pill inside, emitting a strange fragrance.
"Friends Han and Dai, I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Mu Xue greeted him and turned into a beam of light and flew away into the air.
Han Changming smiled silently. Mu Xue was obviously in a hurry to heal his wounds. This was not surprising. If his soul was injured, he would also be in a hurry to heal his wounds.
Bai Ling San Ren's face was full of joy, and he said in a warm tone: "I still underestimated Fellow Daoist Han. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Han's alchemy skills were so high. Thank you for your help this time. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
After Mu Xue recovered from her injuries, she still owed Bailing Sanren a favor. If Bailing Sanren had not introduced Han Changming to her, she might not have been able to get the Soul-Replenishing Pill.
Bailing Sanren found that he still underestimated Han Changming's alchemy skills. He hoped that Han Changming would ask him for help so that he could ask Han Changming for help in alchemy in the future.
"Okay, if you need me, I will definitely ask for it. I am more interested in rare insects and animals. If Fellow Daoist Dai has any rare insects and animals for sale, please give priority to Han."
Han Changming said cheerfully.
Bailing Sanren agreed readily and in a warm tone.
After chatting for a while, Bailing Sanren said goodbye and left.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming took out a light yellow wooden box. When he opened it, he saw two black pills inside.
It is the soul-replenishing pill.
Practice makes perfect. Han Changming used the spiritual medicine in the Suzaku Pendant to refine pills, and his pill refining skills continued to improve. With three materials, he refined three soul-replenishing pills, gave one to Mu Xue, and also received a Fu Jin fruit and 20,000 spiritual stones, plus a third-level pill recipe.
Han Changming felt refreshed at this moment. It was the first time he felt so happy since he entered the world of cultivating immortals.
"It feels so good to be admired by others. This is still a third-level alchemist. If he were a fourth-level alchemist, I don't know how many cultivators would want to please him!"
Han Changming sighed, his eyes becoming firm.
When he reaches the open sea, he can use elixirs to make a name for himself and help his family gain a foothold, while also paving the way for his own path. With the Taiyi Hualing Gourd in his hand, he is full of confidence in his future path.
He put away the soul-replenishing pill, sat cross-legged, took out a mid-grade Purple Yang Pill and put it in his mouth. He had fire spiritual roots, so he could take the Purple Yang Pill and slowly transform it into earth spiritual energy. There would definitely be some loss in the process, but the efficacy of the mid-grade Purple Yang Pill was stronger, so even if there was some loss, the efficacy was still stronger than that of an ordinary Purple Yang Pill.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a pure fire spiritual energy rushed through Han Changming's body. Han Changming quickly used his internal energy to refine the fire spiritual energy.
After a while, Han Changming closed his eyes, a yellow glow appeared on his body, and his aura continued to increase.
