Xia Qi is indeed a decisive person. He will relinquish the throne as soon as he wants to. If Xia Qianxin had not died and was not suitable for handling major events, I am afraid that he would immediately issue a decree to abdicate and let Xia Xi take the throne.
"My son will live up to his father's high expectations!" Xia Xi kowtowed heavily.
Xia Qi laughed, turned to look at Lu Xuan and said, "National Preceptor, now that I have resigned, you don't have to be under too much pressure. It's best if the elixir succeeds. If it fails, it won't hurt."
The trip to the secret realm did seem to have a big impact on Xia Qi, who even put his life and death away. But not to mention, Lu Xuan really didn't have much confidence in whether he could really successfully refine the Forbidden Pill of the First Life Shou Yuan. of certainty.
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best. I will not attend the funeral of the eldest prince. This matter requires careful preparation."
Xia Qi nodded lightly: "It doesn't matter."
The crowd immediately left, and Lu Xuan came to the royal alchemy room in the palace. This time was no better than last time. Last time, he just exercised the power of his soul and practiced alchemy. It didn't matter whether he succeeded or failed, but this time the materials Limited, there is no room for Lu Xuan to fail many times.
Instead of rushing to directly refine the First Life Shouyuan Forbidden Pill, Lu Xuan first took some other spiritual materials and refined a few furnaces of third-grade earth-level pills to get a feel for it. With his current strength as a fourth-grade alchemist, plus With the help of Taiyi Cauldron, the success rate of refining elixirs of this grade is still very high. Except for the two batches of elixirs that failed at the beginning, the next few times were successful. Lu Xuan felt that he was almost done. He took a deep breath, took an exquisite tree root that had been processed and threw it into the Taiyi Cauldron. .
What was being refined this time was a fifth-grade earth-level elixir, which was beyond the capabilities of a fourth-grade alchemist. Without the help of the Taiyi Cauldron, Lu Xuan would have had no chance of success.
Continuously throwing in various auxiliary ingredients, and seeing that it was almost done, Lu Xuan finally added another main ingredient. The Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng is only one-fifth of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng.
Although only one elixir can be refined in each furnace, there are five refining opportunities. As long as he can succeed once out of these five times, Xia Qi's injury will be enough to be treated.
Wait until the exquisite tree roots and ten thousand year old snow ginseng are all melted into powder. Lu Xuan instantly opened the lid of the Taiyi Cauldron and threw a few silver-leaf grasses in. When encountering the raging fire in the cauldron, the silver-leaf grasses instantly turned into powder.
It's now!
Ning Dan!
The fire suddenly weakened, and the medicinal materials in the alchemy cauldron condensed instantly. However, no matter how Lu Xuan concentrated his soul power, he still could not successfully condense the elixir. In the end, he could only watch all the precious medicinal materials burn to ashes. . First try. Ended with failure.
"The soul power is not enough?" Lu Xuan frowned and thought: "No, it should be that the exquisite tree roots and ten thousand year snow ginseng were not refined to the requirements for condensation. This led to the failure and the timing was wrong."
At the moment, Lu Xuan was recovering his soul power while carefully reading the records in the Cang Qiong Alchemy Code. At the same time, he was thinking about the harvest that had just failed. He still had four chances, so there was no rush.
But what followed Lu Xuan was three failures in a row!
This time. He really felt the difficulty of refining elixirs beyond the next level. Although the fourth-grade elixir he refined last time was also beyond the level, it was not as obvious as this time. After all, it was because Lu Xuan was not familiar with the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.
He had almost wasted the Ten Thousand Years Snow Ginseng, and only had one last chance to try. This time, Lu Xuan did not dare to mess around anymore. Seeing that there were still a lot of exquisite tree roots left, he decided to try step by step.
Throwing an exquisite tree root into the cauldron, Lu Xuan exuded the power of his soul to control the flames in the cauldron to slowly refine it, looking for the most suitable period for condensing the elixir. Xue Zhen, a medicinal material like silver leaf grass, was easy to grasp. Almost every time something went wrong it was Linglong Treegen.
After wasting three exquisite tree roots in a row, Lu Xuan finally understood its medicinal properties. After pondering for a moment, he started the last refining. Once he failed this time, there would be no chance to come back again. If Xia Qi wanted to completely heal his injuries, he could only wait for the next opportunity.
Another exquisite tree root entered the alchemy cauldron, and the flames immediately rose up, surrounding the exquisite tree root and began to burn and purify. The impurities were continuously burned into ashes, leaving behind medicinal herbs. , Lu Xuan stared closely at the roots of this exquisite tree through the power of his soul, watching as traces of powder began to appear, but he still did not stop the flames.
"Time to burn another stick of incense!" Lu Xuan thought to himself. This exquisite tree root is not comparable to ordinary tree roots. It has grown for thousands of years and has become very solid. Although it has turned into powder at this moment, The time it takes to burn a stick of incense is not enough to burn it out.
It was almost done. The power of Lu Xuan's soul instantly wrapped the powder, preventing it from being burned by the flames. Then the ten thousand-year snow ginseng flew into the cauldron. The snow ginseng was purified much faster than the exquisite tree roots, less than half of it. Within an hour, Lu Xuan was able to tell that all the medicinal properties had been purified, and the last thing added to it was the silver-leaf grass.
When the three major medicinal materials were all purified, Lu Xuan took a deep breath, decisively released the power of his soul, and mixed the three major medicinal materials into a ball. The flames rose again and burned around the medicinal powder. Lu Xuan shouted: "Condensing Pill!"
Wrapped in the power of the soul, the powders gathered together instantly, kept spinning, and finally condensed into a round pill!
The flames conducted heat to the elixir through the power of Lu Xuan's soul, helping it to stabilize. Sweat stains appeared on Lu Xuan's forehead. Although the elixir was successfully condensed, whether a complete elixir could be refined in the end depended on it. This is the last time.
Finally, the holes on the elixir were gradually smoothed out and became more rounded. The entire elixir took on a blue-white color and looked extremely attractive. Until the flames were completely extinguished, there was still no sign of the elixir being broken. sign.
Turn on the furnace! Dan is done!
Lu Xuan reached out and made a move, and the hard-earned One-turn Shouyuan Forbidden Pill flew towards him. He took out a wooden box, and the pill immediately entered the wooden box accurately.
After wiping his sweat, Lu Xuan waved his hand to put away the Taiyi Cauldron and strode out of the alchemy room.
"National Master, you are finally out. The servants have been waiting for more than half a month." After leaving the alchemy room, several palace maids came to greet them. It was obviously Xia Qi's order to wait for Lu Xuan here.
"Oh? Half a month has passed?" Lu Xuan was also a little surprised. It seems that alchemy, like cultivation, is timeless.
Then he waved his hand and said, "Take me to His Majesty's study."
"Yes, slave, I obey."
All the way to the imperial study room, Lu Xuan didn't pay attention. He knocked on the door twice, opened the door and went in. Looking at the entire palace, he was afraid that he was the only one who didn't understand the rules and was so presumptuous.
Seeing the person sitting at the head of the imperial study room, Lu Xuan couldn't help but was slightly startled. The person in front of him was indeed wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown, but he was no longer Xia Qi.
"Fourth Prince?" Lu Xuan said in surprise. Looking at the person next to Xia Xi, who could it be if it wasn't Xia Qi? It's just that now Xia Qi has already taken off his dragon robe and looks much more easy-going.
"National Master, you came just in time. Seeing that you haven't come out of the alchemy for a long time, I asked the fourth child to ascend the throne three days ago." Xia Qi laughed.
Lu Xuan suddenly realized that this was the case, and then he cupped his hands towards Xia Xi and said, "Congratulations... Your Majesty."
Xia Xi smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite to the Imperial Master. I... I will still need the help of the Imperial Master in the future."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, then turned to Xia Qi and said: "Your Majesty, I have finally fulfilled my mission and successfully refined the Forbidden Pill of Reincarnation of Life."...
"Did you succeed?" Xia Qi couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. Now that he has stepped down from the throne, he no longer has to worry about state affairs. It would be really boring if he couldn't practice. But if Lu Xuan can cure his injury, maybe he can make further progress in his cultivation.
Lu Xuan handed the wooden box containing the elixir to Xia Qi and said: "Your Majesty can take it at any time. This elixir contains powerful blood. After taking it, it can make up for the deficiencies in your Majesty's body, and all the hidden wounds can be eliminated. If you practice it in the future, you will not only be able to To make up for the lost cultivation, there are still opportunities to go further."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xia Qi finally felt relieved. It was really uncomfortable for him to be at the peak of the Guiyuan Realm, but without the corresponding strength. Now that it was possible to recover his cultivation, he was no longer a useless person. .
Then Lu Xuan took out the remaining exquisite tree roots and said: "These exquisite tree roots contain a lot of dragon energy. They can be used to brew wine or drink water. They are very helpful in restoring cultivation. The Supreme Emperor can Easy to use."
"Congratulations to the emperor on his recovery." Xia Xi said with a smile. After sitting on the throne, he knew that being the emperor was not easy. He was able to cope with it these days thanks to Xia Qi's guidance.
"King Anping, it is my blessing and the country's blessing that you can come to the imperial court this time!" Xia Qi said with emotion.
"The Emperor's words are serious. Now that the fourth prince has ascended the throne, Your Majesty is about to recover, and it's time for me to resign." Lu Xuan said solemnly.
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xia Xi couldn't help but plead to stay. He knew in his heart that Xia Qi's decisive decision to pass the throne to him must have involved Lu Xuan's many factors. Although they didn't know Lu Xuan's details, Judging from the strength shown by Lu Xuan, he was absolutely extraordinary.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm so anxious to return home, but I still want to ask your Majesty something. I wonder if you have ever heard of a man named Ao Ze? Well, his body should be a giant cold lake dragon. , with demon king level strength, he is good at wielding a sledgehammer when in human form."
Ao Ze? The giant dragon in the cold pond? Xia Xi and Xia Qi looked at each other and shook their heads. Xia Qi asked: "I have never heard of this. He is definitely not from Zhongzhou. Can the Imperial Master provide any other information?"
Lu Xuan scratched his head and thought hard. Since the last time he thought of Ao Ze, he did recall some related things. Now he slowly said: "If I remember correctly, Ao Ze should have been in a certain secret realm." Among them, there was a big secret realm. I remember that I entered it with many people, and later after staying in it for a long time, I brought him out."
When Lu Xuan said this, Xia Qi was shocked. He suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "The Ancient Powerful Cave!"
Lu Xuan thought, this name seems a bit familiar
