"Thank you so much then!"

The first thousand and 390 chapters alchemy failed

This time, the two big men were no longer as arrogant as before, but looked at Bai Wuxia in a state of bewilderment. After seeing Bai Wuxia nodded slightly, they breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated without looking back. out!

"Are they the ones you arranged?" Zhu Xiaobao asked calmly when he saw the two leave.At the same time, the jade corpse has also been put away.

"Hehe! How is that possible? It's just that they first came to me to discuss a business deal, just like you. I punished them a little first! Well, 'Purple Gold Coral', 'Two-headed Seahorse', this But they are all rare deep-sea medicinal materials! I also paid you some money, should you tell me what kind of elixir you are refining?" Bai Wuxia still smiled charmingly, holding Playing with the two herbs...

"Hmph! Sorry, I have no comment! This is not within the scope of our cooperation!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said calmly.

"Oh! Why bother, you should be able to see that I've been helping you all the time!" Bai Wuxia was not angry, but shook her head, still smiling coquettishly, and then put the two The medicinal materials were handed over to Zhu Xiaobao.

"Hee hee! Then let them send some higher-grade medicines. Hehe, it smells so good..." Zhu Xiaobao saw that although Bai Wuxia handed over the medicinal materials, he didn't let go!He was also polite, bowed his head and gave a hand kiss.Immediately, Bai Wuxia was so frightened that she let go of her hand.

"Get out! Zhu Xiaobao, I really should teach you a lesson!" Bai Wuxia said a little angrily.

"Haha! Who told you to be so coquettish? I am greedy for money and lust, and the most irresistible is a beauty like you!" Zhu Xiaobao laughed loudly while holding two medicinal herbs, and then walked away...

"Little bastard, one day you will come to beg me!" Bai Wuxia looked at Zhu Xiaobao's back and whispered a little bit angrily.Then she shook her head helplessly, until now, she didn't know how to deal with this little fat man!There is a feeling of falling into a very passive state.

Zhu Xiaobao didn't show up for three consecutive days.He is preparing to try to refine the 'attribute Dan'.Although the quality of the two existing materials is a bit poor, at least it has allowed him to try to refine the 'Attribute Pill'!

As for the 'Nourishment Pill' requested by the other party, Zhu Xiaobao had prepared it a long time ago. Anyway, there are many materials for refining the 'Nourishment Pill' around him. It is the norm to have eight patterns!

Now Zhu Xiaobao is beginning to put all his energy into trying to refine the 'Attribute Pill'.This is classified as a fifth-level elixir, and it is also the highest-level elixir I have encountered.He was still a little worried about whether his eighth-rank alchemy furnace could bear it.

The reason why the 'attribute pill' is designated as a fifth-level elixir, and it is not well-known, is because for ordinary cultivators, this kind of pill is tasteless.It is only the power that can improve the attributes of cultivators, that is, people like Zhu Xiaobao, Lu Xian'er, and the original Hanyang Erlao are in great need.For other cultivators, it is not that important!Otherwise, the level of 'Attribute Dan' could be higher.

Sure enough, the difficulty of refining this elixir appeared from the dissolution of these medicinal materials.Although there was nothing wrong with the process of dissolving medicinal herbs and materials.But when merging these medicinal material solutions, it is completely different from before.Not only should they be put into the pill furnace in batches according to their respective melting points, but also according to their attributes.

This requires the fusion process of each medicinal material to have its own temperature, and this operation is too difficult!No matter how powerful Zhu Xiaobao's consciousness is, he still can't control so many subtle temperature differences!

Sure enough, after more than forty medicinal ingredients were fused, the furnace exploded. One of the medicinal ingredients was affected by the medicinal ingredients next to it, and it was burnt all at once!

Zhu Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to himself a little depressed: "This is a failure? A waste of materials? This refining is too difficult! Could it be that several alchemists are needed Can we fully integrate so many material solutions together?"

Zhu Xiaobao sat in the secret room and thought for half the night, repeatedly recalling the failure process just now, and then determined the next refining plan.

A full day off.Only then did Zhu Xiaobao start alchemy again.This time he sacrificed the five-element phalanx.Since it is an attribute pill, it is necessary to make full use of the attribute power of the fifth brother skeleton.

Not to mention Zhu Xiaobao's idea is very creative and effective.The five skulls were spinning rapidly above the pill furnace, as if they also knew that the pill was aimed at attributes, so the five skeletons seemed very excited, and the five-element square was also hovering rapidly.

Under the interference of the respective attributes of the five skeletons, those medicinal solutions also began to be classified into five areas, and as these medicinal solutions began to penetrate and merge with each other, the five-element phalanx above also slowed down its circling speed .And the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace is also constantly rotating and stirring, and the speed of rotation is always consistent with the speed of the five-element phalanx!

For two whole hours, not only did Zhu Xiaobao consume a lot of spiritual consciousness, but also the consumption of the five skulls was very high, and the five-element square array in midair was spinning more and more slowly...

With a sound of "Pfft!", among the five skeletons, the golden skeleton with the lowest cultivation level was the first to be unable to hold on, causing the metallic solution to scatter and be decomposed by the fire-attributed solution next to it. It was dissolved by the water attribute liquid medicine.Soon all the solutions in the alchemy furnace were affected, and then the furnace exploded uncontrollably...

"Ah? How could this be? Is this kind of 'Attribute Pill' really so difficult to refine? No, it was very promising just now! What is the problem?" Zhu Xiaobao was very frustrated. The two materials that were easy to get together were destroyed like this!

But although the materials were destroyed, a lot of experience and lessons were also summed up.Zhu Xiaobao was still sitting cross-legged, thinking about the alchemy process just now, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was!

After dragging his tired and unwilling body, he walked out of the secret room, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and wanted to have a big meal and then have a good sleep.

"My lord, it's time to eat!" With Yinshuang's voice, several delicate dishes have been served. This is also the result of Xue Yinshuang's learning these days, and she has already been able to cook a few dishes!

"Huh? Eat?...Yes, I need to replenish, and these skeletons also need to be continuously replenished! How could I neglect such an important thing?" Zhu Xiaobao, who was still in deep thought, was suddenly awakened, and then He slapped his forehead and exclaimed in surprise.

Only then did he realize that he had made a very serious mistake, that is, the skeletons of the five elements should be arranged according to the order of the five elements, not randomly!They can't be arranged according to the five elements' mutual restraint!Immediately, Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help but hugged Xue Yinshuang and shouted loudly: "Yes, yes! They should be continuously replenished during operation! Only then can they last longer. That's great, thank you!"

"Oh, let me go, what are you going to do?" Xue Yinshuang cried out in horror, pushing Zhu Xiaobao away with all her strength!

"Hehe! I'm sorry, I don't mean it, but I figured out a key link! I'm a little carried away!" Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly let go of Xue Yinshuang, and said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh!...so that's the case? Then you...you can continue..." Xue Yinshuang was also a little annoyed suddenly, as if her heart didn't reject this kind of intimacy, so why make such a fuss?Now I feel a little regretful...

To Zhu Xiaobao's regret, the materials in his hand were gone again, nothing else could be said, that is, the two 'Purple Gold Coral' and 'Two-headed Seahorse' picked from the deep sea were all used up.

Unexpectedly, less than ten days later, those two big men came again, and this time they sent 'Purple Gold Coral' and 'Double-headed Seahorse', and the quality was slightly better than last time !And seeing Zhu Xiaobao also became polite!Before leaving, Zhu Xiaobao also gave them two 'Continuing Power Pills'. The two big men were overjoyed immediately, and suddenly they had a lot of affection for Zhu Xiaobao!

That night, Zhu Xiaobao tried to refine the 'Attribute Pill' again, but unfortunately failed.That is, if the five skeletons are still arranged according to the principle of the five elements, it still cannot last for a long time, because each skeleton can use its own energy to supplement the corresponding skeleton, but most of them only satisfy their own supplement first, and then In order to properly supplement other skulls!

The next day, Zhu Xiaobao found the shopkeeper of the hotel, because he already knew that this was a latent spot of the 'Baixiaomen', so he handed over a very important matter to the shopkeeper.Let him bring a message back to 'Qianxiu Peak', he wants the three tree ghosts to bring the dryads here to help him!

Next, Zhu Xiaobao temporarily stopped refining the 'attribute pill' because he had to wait for the dryad to come before he could start refining the 'attribute pill' again.

For the next two months, Zhu Xiaobao was collecting more high-end herbs and materials.So even though no less than [-] 'Nourishment Pills' have been refined, Zhu Xiaobao still doesn't have much money around, and they are all used to exchange medicinal materials and materials!

Before he knew it, Zhu Xiaobao had been in 'Ding Tiecheng' for four months.Several wonton shops have opened on this street, as well as many medicine shops.It made the already lively street even more lively.The people who come here to line up every day can go very far, and it has become a scene of 'Ding Tiecheng'!

On this day, Zhu Xiaobao suddenly received a very familiar message, he dropped the work in hand, and rushed out, everyone who watched was puzzled.And the direction Zhu Xiaobao went was also very strange, it was a large dense forest around the 'Ding Tiecheng'...

The first thousand and 390 chapters of alchemy failed

It wasn't that Zhu Xiaobao felt anything, but that the 'Vulcan Bee' he handed over to the tavern manager flew back.

Except for saying hello to Xue Yinshuang, no one else knew what Zhu Xiaobao was doing when he left in a hurry!

Zhu Xiaobao ran all the way, and hired a new carriage, and went straight to the outside of 'Ding Tiecheng'.It was at this time that Zhu Xiaobao could really feel how many people were watching him secretly.

Sitting in the carriage, I felt that there were four No. 50 people desperately following me.And there are some people who are rivals with each other, and unintentionally fight!

"What? He...he ran outside the city? What happened? Hurry up and catch up with me. Once you reach the Devil's Forest, it will be too dangerous!" Even Bai Wuxia was taken aback.This is the first time Zhu Xiaobao has left the city since he came to 'Ding Tiecheng'.He also hurriedly packed up and set off, chasing him out.

Xue Yushuang and Xue Jinshuang from the Divine Beast Villa also rushed out with their own skills. No one expected that Zhu Xiaobao would suddenly run out of the city!

When everyone chased out of 'Ding Tiecheng' and caught up with the carriage, they found that there was no one in the carriage, but the driver was drinking and having fun alone. He had received Zhu Xiaobao's spirit stone, Just drink and have fun here, waiting to be discovered!

Originally, Xue Jinshuang's golden eagle could keep up with Zhu Xiaobao's whereabouts, but when Zhu Xiaobao entered the forest, this golden eagle could no longer find Zhu Xiaobao's trace!

At this time, Bai Wuxia and Xue Yushuang looked at each other from a distance, and everyone lost Zhu Xiaobao's whereabouts, so they had to smile awkwardly at each other!The two parties have known each other for many years, but they are not familiar with each other. When they meet at this time, it is really difficult to distinguish friend from foe.The only thing that is certain is that both sides have strong backgrounds.There is no grievance on weekdays!

"Hey! It's not that easy to follow me!" At this moment, Zhu Xiaobao was riding on the white lion, and was running desperately towards the dense forest!In front, the little demon is also sneaking underground at high speed, and there are hundreds of 'Black God Bees' flying around in front of it, scouting the way for Zhu Xiaobao!

Going forward, I saw countless thick and dense trees swaying back and forth, but there was no strong wind and rain at this time, and these trees were shaking on their own!At the same time, there was a sound like a mountain roar and a tsunami in the forest, and there seemed to be some kind of battle between the big trees in front!

"Master Xiaobao! Hurry up and help my master, there is still a tree spirit in here! My master is a bit overwhelmed!" Unexpectedly, the three tree ghosts appeared in a very embarrassing situation at this time, and they turned out to be wounded. .And then behind them, stretches of big trees shook, making bursts of whistling sounds!

"Ah? Ah? If you want me to help, just tell me!" It was the first time Zhu Xiaobao saw such a huge battle formation. These big trees that were usually motionless seemed to be uprooted and wanted to rush out!

And there are two trees in the middle that are entangled with each other, one of them is a ginkgo tree, Zhu Xiaobao has a very familiar feeling, it is the tree species that the tree spirit usually likes to live in!

The other tree was a red pine tree, and the two big trees were entangled together like a twist!

"Burn! Hurry up and burn it with fire! Don't let it escape!" Tree Root, the boss of the Three Tree Ghost, shouted loudly to Zhu Xiaobao.

"Okay! Just listen to you!"

Sunburn Dan'! "As soon as Zhu Xiaobao heard this, he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just waved his hand and saw hundreds of 'Sunyang Pills'. Immediately, the red pine tree, which was already struggling, writhed in pain. Looking at his ginkgo tree, but suddenly his red pine tree separated, and became motionless!

The tree spirit trapped in the red pine tree is now in even greater trouble. The 'immortal vine silk' thrown out by Zhu Xiaobao can actually restrain it, making it want to move to other places. Go into the tree and become unable to get out.It can only be continuously swallowed by the surrounding flames, and the other big trees also avoid it one after another, looking a little at a loss.At this time, the tree spirit had relocated to the tree root in the hands of the three tree ghost boss, and was communicating with Zhu Xiaobao with his spiritual sense!

It turned out that after receiving the message from Zhu Xiaobao's 'Bai Xiaomen', the three tree ghosts set off immediately.But what I didn't expect was that once here, the dryad felt that there was actually a dryad in this area.Instinct made it go to this dryad to compete first!In any one area, only one Dryad can exist.

It's just that he didn't expect that the tree spirit here is not weak, and with the advantage of the home court, he even has the upper hand. If it weren't for the desperate protection of the three tree ghosts, his own tree spirit would have been defeated long ago!

But people are not as good as heaven. I didn't expect that there would be such a perverted thing on Zhu Xiaobao's body. The five-element skeleton alone is enough to frighten the tree spirits here. 'Specially able to restrain wood attributes!Because 'Xianteng Jingsi' is metallic, it specifically restrains wood attributes!

After nearly an hour of fire and gold piercing, the tree spirit finally couldn't hold on any longer, but the red pine tree became smaller and thinner, and was finally held tightly by the 'Xianteng Jingsi'. The ground is bound, and there is no one to escape!

The last huge tree boa constrictor came out of the tree trunk. Its existence was like the three tree ghosts, accompanying the tree spirit.At this time, this huge tree python also couldn't escape, with scars all over his body, and half of his body was also tightly entangled by the 'immortal vine silk'!

The two dryads seemed to be performing a handover ceremony, and they saw that the ginkgo tree was becoming taller and denser, while the red pine tree became much smaller and shorter, and eventually even the tree python also died. It became much darker in color, and its body size shrunk by more than half, lying on the side dejectedly, and there was no way to escape!

"Hehe! Thank you, Lord Xiaobao!" At this time, the three tree ghosts all appeared, and they had completed the handover. Now the forest was completely controlled by the tree spirit, and the original tree spirit was now greatly cultivated. If it slipped, it could only be surrendered to the tree spirit enshrined by the three tree ghosts!

"Master Xiaobao, why did you invite me here?" The dryad swallowed half of the red pine tree spirit's wood energy this time, and its cultivation base soared by [-]%. At this time, it was very grateful and asked Zhu Xiaobao.

"I want to make alchemy. Wooden skeletons need a steady supply of wood energy, so only you can help me complete alchemy 1." Zhu Xiaobao said in surprise and joy. He didn't expect that this time the tree spirit had just arrived and received an unexpected surprise. It made my cultivation base skyrocket by [-]%!

"No problem, but I need three days to integrate the trees and flowers here before I can help you make alchemy!" The tree spirit was silent for a while before communicating with Zhu Xiaobao.

"Okay! I will also keep all the 'Black God Bees'. Within three days, prepare a safe and reliable one for me, no

An alchemy place that will be disturbed by people! "Zhu Xiaobao also said very happily, the friendship with the tree spirit is no longer polite at all, just explain it directly!

Following Zhu Xiaobao's appearance, the people who were looking around were very surprised, because no one knew what Zhu Xiaobao was doing in the Devil's Forest, because few people could go deep into the forest .Even some herb collectors have to follow a fixed route to enter and exit this forest safely!

At midnight on the second day, Zhu Xiaobao quietly set off alone!However, unable to stand up to Xue Yinshuang's kindness, Zhu Xiaobao still brought the silver eagle, at least it would allow him to detect a farther distance!

But unfortunately, the most powerful opponent that Silver Eagle detected was Xue Yushuang and Xue Jinshuang's golden eagle.This made Xue Yushuang feel dumbfounded and embarrassed. What kind of thing is this? My younger sister actually lent out all her natal beasts. This is really a girl who is extroverted!It's really worth the money!

And those people who have been monitoring Zhu Xiaobao also followed one after another, but when they reached the edge of the Devil's Forest, no one dared to follow in!He watched helplessly as Zhu Xiaobao got in.

Of course, there were a few brave ones who followed Zhu Xiaobao into the Devil's Forest, but once they entered, they regretted it, because they could no longer find Zhu Xiaobao's trace!And what these people are facing are all kinds of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, as well as all kinds of miasma and poisonous gas, it can be said that they are struggling...

"Brother Treant! I'm here, how is it? Is the environment for alchemy ready?" Zhu Xiaobao asked after walking in the forest for nearly two hours.

"Don't worry, our master has already prepared it! No one will disturb you!" The three tree ghosts also appeared, and the three brothers have now reached the 'combination state', more mature than before Steady, the dominance in this forest is also unique!

In front of you is a dense forest surrounded by thousands of trees of almost the same thickness. If you want to enter the middle of this forest, you must be prepared to die tragically at any time...

When Zhu Xiaobao walked up to a big tree, he saw that Zhu Xiaobao's figure gradually merged into the big tree, and then disappeared!

"Huh? What about people? What about people? What kind of cultivation technique is this? Even people suddenly disappeared! These trees are a bit weird, everyone pay attention!" Several voices were puzzled and reminded each other. other people.After all, a few spies followed here!

"Hey! Since you're here, don't leave!" Before the following cultivators could discuss a solution, countless vines appeared around and under their feet, and they were growing crazily all the way. People are stuck.Moreover, the vines on the body are growing longer and tighter, until these people can't move...

Zhu Xiaobao entered the very center of this dense forest, there was an open space with only five towering trees.And in the middle is a tree stump one foot wide and two meters high.Zhu Xiaobao's eighth-order Jade Cauldron Pill Furnace is placed on the book.

Zhu Xiaobao sat on the tree stump and sacrificed the five-element phalanx, and the five skeletons began to circle excitedly again, but this time the five-element skeletons were arranged in the order of wood-fire-earth-metal-water.The key is that the current wooden skeletons can continuously absorb pure wood energy, and at the same time replenish the needs of the fire skeletons in a timely manner. By analogy, it is truly possible to continuously replenish the Five Elements Skulls...

The first thousand and 390 chapters and three mini-attribute pills?

In the closed environment created by the tree spirit for Zhu Xiaobao, Zhu Xiaobao felt very safe and comfortable, because even his own wood attribute was continuously replenished.

From the outside world, this vast forest is completely covered by the rich wood air. Even if the golden eagle is above this forest, it cannot see the depths of the dense forest, and all it can see is success. Pieces of forest shrouded in mist.No one wants to venture into this large forest again.

Sure enough, this time the five-element skeleton, starting from the wooden skeleton, continuously provides energy to the wooden skeleton. Through the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, it does not need much consumption to make the five-element phalanx work!

And the five skulls can also perform their duties at this time, targeting the medicinal solution in the pill furnace according to their respective attributes.

Zhu Xiaobao only cares about the overall progress, and doesn't need him to worry about every medicinal material, which is much easier!

Everything became very easy, and at this time, the five-color steam slowly floated in the pill furnace, which was greedily absorbed by the five skulls.At this time, their enthusiasm for participating in alchemy seems to be higher than Zhu Xiaobao's.

"Eh? These five guys, they have already benefited a lot from my elixir before I successfully refined it? No wonder no one is willing to refine this elixir. For alchemists, the price-performance ratio is not very high Ah!" Zhu Xiaobao also nodded secretly.

In terms of the collection and price of materials, the cost-effectiveness of 'attribute pills' seems to be a bit low, because the material Zhu Xiaobao uses is very ordinary. According to his estimation, at most three grains can be produced. Or if you are lucky, you may have four lines!But the difficulty of this refining is by no means inferior to that of the sixth-level elixir, so the price-performance ratio is not high!

With the gradual fusion of the liquid medicine, the ignorant skull is getting closer and closer to the pill furnace, greedily absorbing the few remaining five-color steam, until it finally disappears completely.These five guys hovered in the air again reluctantly, looking a little absent-minded, because they will no longer be used in the future!

Zhu Xiaobao didn't expect that just because of the support of the tree spirit, the alchemy process took only an hour this time, that is to say, he didn't feel too much consumption at all, and he didn't feel any fatigue at all. It has entered the stage of pill formation.

At this stage, the alchemy must be successful, it just depends on how many lines can be produced in the end!At this time, Zhu Xiaobao started to be cautious and meticulous, carefully sensing all the changes in the pill furnace...

After another quarter of an hour, Zhu Xiaobao finally turned off the fire, and after a while, he took out a five-color pill from the pill furnace.But when he got it in his hand, Zhu Xiaobao's expression was a little dumbfounded, and a little unexpected!

Holding a pill that was only the size of a pearl in his palm, Zhu Xiaobao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Fuck! This...is much smaller than ordinary pills? Is it just out of the box?" Two lines? After working so hard for a long time, I got such a mini 'Attribute Pill'? No more? Just this one?"

Zhu Xiaobao searched carefully in the alchemy furnace again, and there really was only one!He looked up at the Five Elements Skeleton: "Could it be that they were all absorbed by you?"

The five skulls immediately circled around Zhu Xiaobao, and released their own qi, as if they were trying their best to express themselves, and at the same time

Still showing favor to Zhu Xiaobao...

"Yeah! It seems that you are very satisfied! Well, when I go back, I have taken this elixir and see how it works!" Zhu Xiaobao felt that the five skulls were really there. With such a little expansion, it is very good to have such an unexpected effect!

At this moment, the Three Tree Ghost came to report to Zhu Xiaobao with some anxiety: "Master Xiaobao! Someone has launched an attack on us! Take a look!"

"Oh? Is there anyone else who can see through this foggy forest?" Zhu Xiaobao was greatly surprised when he heard that, he quickly jumped up to the top of the big tree where the dryad lived, and his sight suddenly opened up.I saw a blaze shooting towards it rapidly, and everywhere it passed was a raging fire.

This is an arrow with a strong fire attribute!Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help but immediately think of the mysterious archer who shot at him back then. The power of this arrow is almost the same as last time!

But at this time in the foggy forest, the opponent's goal is not very clear, it just splits a fire, it seems that it is more intended to be provocative!

"Hmph! Last time I was in the open, this time I'm not so passive!" Zhu Xiaobao frowned and snorted angrily.If the opponent launches an attack half an hour earlier, it will really affect his alchemy!

"Five elements phalanx! Use water to overcome fire, use fire to produce metal, ---- disease!" Zhu Xiaobao chanted loudly at the Five Elements Skeleton who was courting him.

The five-element phalanx suddenly spun rapidly, headed by the water skull, facing the spurting flames...

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the flame shot into the 'one-yuan heavy water', and the speed obviously slowed down several times, but it didn't go out, and it was still moving forward.The Golden Skull has already absorbed all the surrounding flames.The other skulls are doing their best to assist the water skulls to stop the arrow.

Finally Zhu Xiaobao stretched out his hand and grabbed the shaking arrow, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape from Zhu Xiaobao's palm!

Zhu Xiaobao looked down carefully, and it was exactly the same as the last arrow, the difference is that this arrow has a very strong fire attribute!Even the dryad dare not be its edge!
