Noon on the fifth day.

In the main hall, Zhang Song stared at the small cauldron with red eyes, his face extremely ugly.

Fan Zhengping, controlling the Earth Fire, kept his head down, not daring to look at Zhang Song.

In five days, they had refined twenty-five elixir recipes, but twenty-four were either useless due to conflicting ingredients or exploded. Fortunately, the cauldron was sturdy.

Only one recipe remained. If it failed, Zhang Song's efforts would be wasted.

"Why are you shaking? Be careful!" Zhang Song snapped at Fan Zhengping, who was trembling.

"Yes," Fan Zhengping said, forcing himself to calm down.

After a while, a medicinal fragrance drifted out.

Zhang Song's face lit up. He rushed over and opened the lid. Seeing three dark green pills, he sighed in relief. "Okay, okay."

Fan Zhengping checked. "Master, this is the best one in three years, and there are three!"

"Yeah," Zhang Song said. "While better, it still looks dull. It might be the heat or ingredients. Go get that child and try it."

Fan Zhengping nodded, then frowned. "Master, the other three awakened their spiritual roots. You see..."

He wanted to plead for them but hesitated.

"Spiritual roots?" Zhang Song asked suspiciously.

Fan Zhengping stammered, "I… I gave them five soul-awakening pills. They… all awakened, with mixed spiritual roots…"

"You bastard! So you're the reason my ingredients are off!" Zhang Song roared, slapping Fan Zhengping, who flew across the hall and landed heavily.

Zhang Song stood at the door. "I'll deal with you later. Bring those three children here now!"

Fan Zhengping paled. He realized he was less valuable than the pill. He struggled to his feet and went to the room where Lu Li and the others were held.

Lu Li stood up when he heard the door open. Seeing Fan Zhengping's troubled face, he was surprised. "Senior Brother Fan?"

Fan Zhengping shook his head. "The master's back. I couldn't help you. He wants you to test the medicine. Good luck."

"Test the medicine!" Lu Li's mind raced. "It's finally here?"

He walked out, seeing the fear on Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong's faces.

Fan Zhengping sighed. "Let's go. The elixir looks good. You might escape and even benefit."

Seeing them hesitate, he added, "Don't even think about escaping. Look what my master did to me…"

"Let's go," Lu Li said, leading the way.

"I… I don't want to die," Qin Shouren trembled.

"Don't be a coward! We'll die together. Maybe in eighteen years, we'll have good spiritual roots," Chen Zhong said, trying to be brave.

Lu Li said, "Fat Chen's right. Maybe we'll get lucky."

He knew they wouldn't survive even if the test succeeded. Zhang Song wouldn't let them live.

In the hall, Zhang Song waited impatiently.

He grabbed Lu Li, forced the pill into his mouth, and said coldly, "Swallow it."

Lu Li felt a chill. He swallowed the pill.

Zhang Song gave pills to Chen Zhong and Qin Shouren. "Eat them."

Fan Zhengping watched, conflicted.

As the medicine took effect, Lu Li felt a powerful force surge through his dantian.

After awakening, practitioners manifest Qi meridians connected to the dantian. The first acupoint is on the dantian barrier. Fan Zhengping said the pill helps open acupoints.

Lu Li used his spiritual consciousness to guide the power toward the dantian acupoint.

Ah!

Agonizing pain struck him. He felt like he was being stabbed. The force retreated and crashed into his dantian.

Lu Li focused and tried again.

Ah!

Another scream.

Zhang Song saw Lu Li's pained face and despaired.

Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong also screamed.

Moments later, Lu Li heard a pop. He saw a hole above his dantian, connected to the Qi channel.

It was open!

Lu Li couldn't believe he'd reached the first level of Qi training.

The first acupoint is the hardest. He'd opened the crucial one. Ninety-nine more remained, but he'd entered Qi training.

Lu Li staggered, then composed himself.

Zhang Song, surprised, approached Lu Li.

Lu Li paled, then fell back, feigning extreme discomfort and rolling on the ground.

Chen Zhong, who had also broken through, saw Lu Li's winks and followed suit.

Qin Shouren, focused on the medicine's power, didn't notice and laughed. "Hahaha, I'm an immortal!"

Lu Li…

  • Chapter 291 The Fourth Elder's Desperation

    But Wu De was much simpler. He directly summoned the turtle shell to enlarge it, and then he lay down on the ground, covering himself tightly.This is the benefit of a magic weapon. Under normal circumstances, using a magic weapon is similar to using a talisman. You can use a small amount of true energy to burst out different effects.However, some magical weapons consume extremely high amounts of true energy, but the power they unleash is also quite terrifying and cannot be stopped without powerful weapons.Just like the Fiery Sun Mirror used by the Third Elder before, although it consumes a lot of true energy to activate it once, if Qiu Yun didn't also have a magic weapon breastplate, his single blow would be enough to kill him.Arrows rained down from the sky, and the entire earth was riddled with holes. Suddenly, there was a pop, and it turned out that there was an oversight in Qi Dazui's golden claw, and a wooden thorn was pierced into his thigh.Blood gurgled out, and Qi Dazui s

  • Chapter 290

    The Third Elder's face turned pale. He glanced at the broken silver breastplate on Qiu Yun's chest, and a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face. The Fiery Sun Mirror consumed almost 70% of his true essence every time he activated it. He thought that deliberately exposing a flaw could catch the opponent by surprise.Unexpectedly, the opponent actually had a treasure armor to protect himself. Now that his true essence was depleted, it was troublesome.Without hesitation, he took out two spiritual stones and held them in his hands, turned around and ran. This time he was not deliberately exposing a flaw, but really wanted to escape."Where are you going!"At the moment when the Third Elder turned around, a delicate shout suddenly came from three feet in front of him. Li Qingping threw it casually, and a rope as thick as an arm suddenly flew out of his hand, and immediately wrapped the Third Elder tightly.Between breaths, the rope became tighter and tighter, directly making the

  • Chapter 289 An Ambush and a Strategic Retreat

    Two small dots suddenly appeared in the southern sky, and then began to slowly enlarge. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two old men in green robes with swords on their feet. One person has a big belly and a rosy complexion, while the other person is thin and has clear eyes.The two of them are the Third Elder and Fourth Elder of Yuyang Sect. This trip is a routine three-month spiritual stone transportation mission, and the spirit stones mined from the spiritual veins of Pingmo Mountain are being sent back to Yuyang Sect.In the past, the deacons of the sect were usually responsible for the transportation, but since they left the Burning Heaven Clan, the elders had to do it themselves. Although the two of them felt unhappy about this, there was nothing they could do about it.After all, Pingmo Mountain can produce almost 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones in a month, which is not a small amount accumulated in three months. If it is robbed, it will not be a trivial matter

  • Chapter 288 A Confounding Capture

    About four or five hours later, the sky went from dark to completely dark, and it began to be a little hazy again. He finally arrived above a desolate hill, where he could vaguely see the shadow of Chuyang Peak in the distance, but it was too far away to see clearly.He flew around the desolate hill, but still did not find any traces. He had no choice but to land on the hill and sit cross-legged to wait.Just when the sky was about to be completely bright, a black sword light flew from the north, hovered slightly over the valley fifty miles east of the desolate hill, and then rushed in.The flying sword was not high, and Bai Kaixuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, so he did not find any abnormality at all."Senior, spare my life, I... Although I like to visit the building, I always pay for it, and I am kind-hearted and have never killed anyone. I am a good person, a good person!"In the valley, Xu Mo saw the man in black staring at him, and he felt something was wrong, crying

  • Chapter 287 Setting the Bait

    Lu Li nodded in appreciation, "It's good that you understand. It doesn't matter to me whether I kill you or not. I just want to use your mouth to help me convey some information.""Yes, senior, I understand, I understand."Senior Brother Xu complained bitterly. Even if he didn't understand, he had to pretend to understand, otherwise he might not survive today.During the flight, Lu Li suddenly said, "You should have heard of Pingmo Mountain, right?""I know, I know, it's a spiritual vein south of our Yuyang Gate, about a thousand miles away from our Yuyang Gate, I went there to do a mission." Senior Brother Xu answered truthfully."Yeah."Lu Li nodded and stopped talking. Senior Brother Xu was a little confused and didn't dare to speak. He could only pray that this guy would be kind and not kill him.In this way, about two hours passed.Mist suddenly began to appear on the mountains not far ahead. When Lu Li saw this, he immediately stopped, pointed at the misty mountains ahead, his e

  • Chapter 286 Setting a Trap

    After waiting for a while, Lu Li walked out of the stone ditch, put away the mother and child jade, and showed a thoughtful look.According to Qiu Yun, he asked Li Qingping and Jiang Ping to deal with the third elder of Yuyangmen with him, and the remaining Wu De, Qi Dazui, and the man surnamed Liu dealt with the fourth elder.It is said that this way, the three elders can be dealt with quickly, and then they can come back to help the three people.On the surface, there is indeed no problem.However, Wu De and the other two are only in the initial stage of minor success, while the fourth elder is already in the initial stage of perfection, and the people of the sect have always had a lot of trump cards, so I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with."This old guy really wants to rob the thieves!"Lu Li only analyzed it briefly and saw the key point, because... Qiu Yun himself is a mid-term minor success. In terms of cultivation alone, he can be on par with the three elders of Yuy
