According to Li An's observation of the earth's energy, the earth's energy fluctuations in Baihu Mountain have become more and more frequent recently. The cultivation of Baihu Zhenren's golden elixir has stabilized, and it should be the most critical moment.
"As expected of a master of possession."
Li An couldn't help but sigh. The existence of Zhang Deyi, who possessed the body, was definitely not simple.
However, the other party should not have practiced the art of looking at the air, and should have sensed it purely with the consciousness.
Because the time chosen by Zhang Deyi, although it was also at a critical period, was not so accurate.
"Two formations targeting the consciousness, a total of forty thunder talismans were laid, plus seven magic tools to protect the consciousness, including two second-level magic tools and five first-level top-grade magic tools..."
"In addition, there are four sets of formations to isolate the outside world, and six sets of offensive second-level formations..."
Li An carefully checked the surroundings of the house.
Only ten formations were not safe enough, but Li An had three formation plates in his hand, which could be activated at any time as a supplement.
He felt a little painful. These formations were all he had, but he was going to use them to deal with the Demon Cult.
But now he had to use it first.
In addition to his own adequate preparation, Li An actually had another advantage - that was Zhang Deyi's contempt for him.
Among the three, Li An's cultivation was the weakest.
With his life seed as a cover, even if Zhang Deyi had a strong sense and perception, it was impossible to discover his true strength.
So, if Zhang Deyi really wanted to do something, he should first deal with Xu Qiuhui.
In this way, Li An had time and space to react.
…
After three days, Zhang Deyi and Xu Qiuhui finally arrived at Li An's house on time.
"It's a top secret. Zhang Deyi wants to set up a second-level formation in the house to isolate the outside world. How about it?"
Zhang Deyi took the lead.
Li An smiled and said, "Of course, I have already set up a second-level formation, but another one is the safest."
Xu Qiuhui didn't say anything, and Zhang Deyi immediately set up a formation around him.
Xu Qiuhui didn't notice anything, but Li An was keenly aware that Zhang Deyi seemed to have only set up one formation, but this was a mother-child formation!
There were three sets in total!
Moreover, it had three magical effects: attack, defense, and barrier.
Li An's doubts grew heavier, but he didn't show it.
After the formation was set up, the three of them walked into a quiet room.
"When I'm refining the elixir, the third-level fire will affect the spiritual energy. It might be more appropriate for you two to be outside..."
Zhang Deyi spoke.
"The two of us are the master's guardians. This is the safest way. As for the fire, please don't worry, Master Zhang."
Xu Qiuhui said lightly.
Obviously, she was also on guard against Zhang Deyi and was not at ease.
Must see it with her own eyes!
Li An also nodded.
Zhang Deyi said, "Okay - that's it."
Immediately, he took out a purple copper furnace and started to light the fire. The copper furnace is a third-grade alchemy furnace that can stimulate third-grade flames, which is a must for refining third-grade elixirs.
Bang!
With a slight explosion, a faint blue flame burst out from the purple copper furnace, and Zhang Deyi threw the materials in the hands of the three people into the fire one by one.
At this moment, Zhang Deyi exuded a master's demeanor and style in every move, and he didn't look like a second-grade alchemist at all.
The tension in Xu Qiuhui's eyes couldn't help but relax a little, "Although Master Zhang Deyi is only a second-grade alchemist, he has obtained an exclusive inheritance and can refine third-grade elixirs. I was a little worried before..."
Li An also nodded. He was thinking, Xu Qiuhui is such a smart person, she shouldn't be unaware of Zhang Deyi's abnormality?
Will she also have a way to deal with it?
...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
After half a month, Zhang Deyi finally finished the quenching of the medicinal materials. Finally, he took out a lot of black medicinal powder and threw it into the fire, saying that it could increase the chance of making pills.
But Li An frowned, because he found that the black medicinal powder... was originally the essence of medicine ground and quenched from various medicinal materials.
The other party used a very sophisticated method to cover it up, so Xu Qiuhui didn't see it and didn't doubt it.
But it couldn't be hidden from Li An.
"Such selfless dedication?"
Li An's doubts became heavier.
According to his observation, the medicinal powder that Zhang Deyi put in alone might have gathered the raw materials for the Yuanling Pill.
If so, why did the other party still look for Li An and Xu Qiuhui to cooperate?
"He already had a full set of spiritual medicines in his hand, but he asked us to get a second set, and he didn't want us to know."
"Could it be that he wants to refine the best Yuanling Pill?!"
An amazing thought flashed through Li An's mind.
The best Yuanling Pill is a real treasure. Even though Li An had never seen it in his previous life, he had only heard of it.
This kind of spiritual medicine will fly away on its own when it comes out of the furnace. It has a vague "elixir knowledge" and seeks benefits and avoids harm. It is unwilling to be swallowed by practitioners.
And to refine the best Yuanling Pill, according to Li An's knowledge, it is necessary to have a top alchemist to control the fire, and it is also necessary to prepare as many medicinal materials as possible, preferably three portions at a time.
Gather three portions of spiritual medicine and take their essence to use, there is a slight chance of getting the best Yuanling Pill.
And the best Yuanling Pill, in addition to greatly increasing the chance of forming a pill, there is also a glimmer of hope to help practitioners condense a golden pill.
Because this kind of thing itself carries a trace of fate.
"The other party is also eyeing the golden pill!"
Li An understood instantly.
The person who took over Zhang Deyi's body was definitely a top alchemist in his previous life. In his new life, the other party has great ambitions in the realm of forming a pill.
"But he only collected two doses of medicine, so he must be extremely strong in his spiritual consciousness and control fire to perfection... In addition, he needs to sacrifice the success rate!"
Originally, one furnace can produce four pills.
But if you pursue the best pills, there may not be so many, and the grades of other pills will also be affected.
"No wonder..."
At this moment, Li An was linked to all of Zhang Deyi's actions.
No wonder he had to wait until the most critical moment of Baihu Mountain to refine the pill, so that Zhang Deyi had the opportunity to leave with the best pill.
After all, even Baihu Zhenren would not be able to sit idly by when the best Yuanling Pill was born.
As the pill refining time became longer and longer, and the distance to the success of the pill became closer and closer, Li An became a little nervous.
I was careless.
I only set up ten second-level formations, plus the three sets in my hand, there were only thirteen sets.
If I had known it was this situation, I should have spent more money, whether to buy or make, and make ten more sets!
However, he still had hundreds of second-level talismans in his hand... This made him feel a little relieved.
He glanced at Xu Qiuhui casually, but saw that Xu Qiuhui's expression did not move, but the slight trembling of her eyelashes still betrayed her inner tension.
...
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
"Bang!"
In the third-grade alchemy furnace, the last blue flame faded away.
Alchemy is finally over...
"Finally completed..."
Zhang Deyi raised his eyes and looked at Li An and Xu Qiuhui. His eyes seemed very excited and said: "Two Taoist friends, the grand plan of the three of us should be successful-"
...
