Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

"We're almost ready, let's get started."

In the lotus leaf cave, Xu Zhitian stood beside Qi Xiu, in front of him were round and flawless medicinal beads filled with colorful spiritual light and containing the purest medicinal properties.

As an innate medicinal artifact, Xu Zhitian has his own method of refining that no one else knows.

After being refined by him, these medicinal ingredients can not only fully exert their medicinal properties, but also allow them to blend better during the refining process, avoiding rejection, and no impurities will be produced at all.

With his skills, Qi's success rate in making elixirs could be increased by at least 10%.

"it is good."

After responding, Qi Xiu slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light shining in them. The next moment, he saw Taoist Hunyuan coming from behind him, breaking through the void, and with a wave of his hand, immortal light sprinkled down.

Be in harmony with the Tao!

All the emotions in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and Qi Xiu's gaze became like the sky above, cold, indifferent, and full of absolute rationality.

Sensing the change in Qi Xiu's aura, Xu Zhitian's eyes moved slightly.

Too much forgetfulness?

Entering the state of merging his body with the Tao, Qi Xiu cast a series of magic seals, rolled up the medicinal beads refined by Xu Zhitian, and continuously put them into the Yuanquan Dan furnace in front of him according to their medicinal properties.

As the medicinal beads sank into the furnace, a ball of light gradually spread across the center of the furnace.

This is the Dan embryo.

What Qi Xiu has to do now is to maintain this pill embryo, let it continue to grow, and eventually brew into the precious medicine he wants to refine.

Medicinal beads continuously fell into the pill embryo.

The medicinal properties are constantly fused, intertwined, reorganized, and transformed. The pill embryo is sometimes large and sometimes small. Sometimes its breath is as fierce as fire, and sometimes its breath is as weak as a candle in the wind.

Each of these changes happens in an instant. If there is even the slightest delay in reaction, the pill embryo will instantly rupture and collapse, and this attempt at refining the medicine will be a failure.

Therefore, every minute and every second of the medicine refining process requires extreme concentration, and the handling techniques must be so precise that there cannot be any mistakes.

Such a tedious and complicated process would exhaust even a great Taoist master, and after a long time, he would not be able to endure it.

According to Xu Zhitian's estimation, it would take at least three hundred years to refine this precious medicine.

Three hundred years!

To maintain this mental state of walking on a tightrope thousands of feet high for three hundred years is simply a fantasy for a normal Taoist master.

After Qi Xiu officially entered the state of refining medicine, the one hundred incarnations he had manifested before also took action.

I saw fifty of them making hand gestures and reciting the contents of Hun Yuan Wan Fa Xian Jing.

The next moment!

An incomparably huge force suddenly squeezed into the lotus leaf in winter and descended with a loud bang.

Hunyuan Palace!

The vast and blazing strange sea of ​​fire surged up all of a sudden, spreading all over the sky and the ground, covering the front, back, left and right.

"Small World Method? Red Lotus Karma Fire?"

Xu Zhitian was the first to notice something strange around him and realized at a glance that Qi Xiu was using some kind of small world magic.

Seeing the red lotus fire sweeping over, Xu Zhitian frowned and was about to take action to stop it.

He was very familiar with this divine fire of heaven and earth. He had been roasted alive by this divine fire for more than a thousand years in the Blood Lotus World.

He didn't want to feel that feeling again.

But just as Xu Zhitian was about to take action, a bright and flawless ray of light, like the shining sun, suddenly fell down and landed steadily on him and Qi Xiu, protecting them both tightly. No matter how raged the red lotus fire was, it could not break through the mirror light.

Three hundred years is too long. By the time the elixir is successfully refined, Shen Wansan's so-called old friend's son would have probably turned into a pile of dry bones. By then, the True God of Wealth would surely fight him to the death and regard Qi Xiu as his mortal enemy.

So Qi Xiu had no choice but to activate the Hunyuan Palace and use the Haotian Mirror to protect himself, taking advantage of the different flow rates in the two worlds to eliminate the three hundred years of medicine refining time.

Time passes day by day.

Qi Xiu threw a huge amount of medicinal beads into the alchemy furnace one by one. They merged into the alchemy embryo, gradually strengthening the medicinal properties of the precious medicine.

As the medicinal properties continued to increase, more and more details required attention, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on Qi Xiu's forehead.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

The elixir embryo in the Yuanquan elixir furnace has transformed into a ball of sparkling light, like the purest colored glass in the world, reflecting the extremely bright rays of light.

“The first phase is almost over.”

Xu Zhitian, who had been accompanying Qi Xiu the entire time, appeared and gave him a reminder.

Hearing Xu Zhitian's suggestion, Qi Xiu nodded slowly, changed the Taoist seals with his hands, and a light began to bloom in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows. A crystal white soul thought flew out and went straight into the pill embryo in the alchemy furnace.

With the integration of the soul and thoughts, the originally round pill embryo suddenly changed. The crystal clear interior of the glass seemed to have evolved something, and an ancient and distant breath filled the air.

"This is you……"

Noticing the aura emanating from the pill embryo, Xu Zhitian's face suddenly changed and he looked at Qi Xiu in disbelief.

“I see, no wonder you insisted on refining this medicine yourself.

You kid... actually have this secret!"

After Qi Xiu put his soul and thoughts into the pill embryo, he no longer had time to care about the outside world. He couldn't even hear what Xu Zhitian said.

After going through the first stage, the speed at which the various changes in the pill embryo occurred was a hundred times faster than at the beginning.

He must firmly control every change and allow the aura derived from the pill embryo to gradually grow stronger.

Time flies, and another hundred years have passed.

Qi Xiu sat cross-legged beside the Yuanquan Dan furnace. His temples had already turned gray. The extremely high intensity of mental damage had also affected his physical body.

However, as long as he can successfully refine the precious medicine, he has countless ways to recover this damage.

After hundreds of years, the originally glass-like pill embryo has turned into a drop of crystal-clear jade, with fine and fine precious liquid blooming all over.

"We are halfway there, only the finishing touch is left."

Turning his tired eyes to look at the drop of precious liquid in the alchemy furnace, Qi Xiu loosened his hands that had been pinching the alchemy formula, placed them flat on his knees, moved his lips and teeth, and slowly opened his mouth.

The next moment!

I saw a series of obscure, ancient and majestic syllables slowly coming out of Qi Xiu's mouth, which were filled with the spirit of submission of all things in the heavens.

"Dragon language?!"

Xu Zhitian, who was standing aside, frowned when he heard Qi Xiu recite this ancient and obscure voice, which revealed the tone of mind of looking down on all living beings from a high position.

“He really can do it!”

At this point, Xu Zhitian was 100% certain that Qi Xiu must have a great relationship with the True Dragon Clan that had mysteriously disappeared since ancient times.

It is even possible that he is the reincarnation of a real dragon.

Otherwise how to explain the fact that he is fluent in dragon language.

"In this case, the precious medicine in this furnace is completely different from what I imagined.

What he has been trying to cultivate is actually something that even I cannot cultivate...

True Dragon Medicine!"
