Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 74: Start the furnace

Chapter 74: Start the furnace

Han Chang glanced at Mi Xiaojing and his companions, beckoning them over. He pointed to Zhang Ke, who was the only adult among them, the rest being children.

Zhang Ke's heart stopped beating. He remembered this person, who had killed Master Zeng Li with a single sword strike. He left a deep impression on him with his ferocity and ruthlessness.

His whole body froze, and he was about to be scared to death by this guy.

Curiously, Han Chang looked at Zhang Ke and said, "Hey, come here!"

Mi Xiaojing walked forward with a stiff scalp and asked, "What's the matter?" He was resentful, but being young, he tried to remain calm, but his face betrayed a hint of coldness.

Han Chang was a little surprised by Mi Xiaojing, but he soon realized that this child was at the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, which was rare in the Heart Sect. He saw the prayer beads on Mi Xiaojing's wrist and was taken aback.

That was something only Evolutionary Immortals had. It was not something ordinary cultivators, especially those in the Qi Refining stage, could get their hands on.

"Let me see... Where did you get these prayer beads?"

Han Chang had forgotten why he had stopped these people. His attention was focused on the prayer beads on Mi Xiaojing's wrist.

Mi Xiaojing, of course, didn't want to show him, shaking his head and saying, "Mine..." He covered the prayer beads with his sleeve and became defensive.

Han Chang laughed, "Hey, kid, give it to me!"

Mi Xiaojing said firmly, "No!" His hand was already on his storage bag, in a standard combat stance.

Zhang Ke pulled Luo Bo and Wei Fu back and signaled for Mu Xiaoyin to step back.

Han Chang's face darkened. He couldn't tolerate this; this little guy was simply unreasonable. How dare he treat a senior like this? He was asking for death.

Mu Xiaoyin shouted, "We are from Grass-Benevolence Hall! We are disciples of Master Chen Shouyi!"

Han Chang was about to act, but when he heard this, he hesitated. Chen Shouyi! He knew that he was a master alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage. If these people were his disciples, he would have to be careful. He could offend anyone, but he couldn't offend a master alchemist.

Mi Xiaojing knew that the gap between the two sides was huge. If he acted, he would be killed almost instantly. However, when Mu Xiaoyin spoke, it was evident that the other side's attitude softened.

"Okay, you're young and have a bad temper..."

He suddenly kicked Mi Xiaojing, knocking him down, and shouted, "You should be respectful to your seniors! Even if you're Master Chen's disciple, you still need to be taught a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up, and in an instant, a sword light flickered, and he was already far away.

Mi Xiaojing's face turned iron blue. He hated his own powerlessness. He got up, dusted himself off, and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

The group silently followed Mi Xiaojing back home.

Luo Bo hurried a few steps and came to Mi Xiaojing's side. He reached out and grabbed his sleeve, while Mu Xiaoyin walked to the other side of Mi Xiaojing and also reached out to grab his sleeve.

"I'm fine... Don't worry, everyone."

Mi Xiaojing's heart was in turmoil. He decided to put everything else aside and refine the Foundation Establishment Pill first, breaking through to become a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. Only then would he have the strength to resist. Otherwise, he would have no resistance and it would be too suffocating.

.

Back at Qingmu Peak, Mi Xiaojing asked Zhang Ke to take the others back to the small courtyard while he went straight to the Pill Room.Mi Xiaojing had already prepared the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. So far, he had gathered nine sets of materials. The only problem was the pill furnace in the pill room. The furnace was of too low a level. It was fine for refining Qi Refining pills, but for Foundation Establishment Pills, it posed a significant issue.

The low-level pill furnace was due to the fewer spiritual patterns on it, which made it much harder to control. This had nothing to do with the level of alchemy but was purely due to the inferior quality of the tool. Mi Xiaojing had no choice, as he had no better pill furnaces at hand.

Mi Xiaojing's only reliance was the alchemy experience inherited from Wang Weijun. Relying on this experience, he forcefully attempted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he had no confidence in his heart.

With the nine sets of materials, he only needed to produce one high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, or at worst, two mid-quality ones.

To be on the safe side, Mi Xiaojing called Wang Weijun in his mind.

Wang Weijun appeared in Mi Xiaojing's mind and laughed, "Rare, rare... You actually came to find me... Haha, good, good, good!"

Mi Xiaojing didn't waste time and said, "I'm going to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Then go ahead and refine it. Why did you call me out... Do you want to ask something?"

"Can a low-level pill furnace successfully refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Others can't, but you can... However, the success rate will be much lower."

"I have nine sets of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Can I successfully refine at least one pill?"

"Haha, I can't say for sure. If it were me refining, at least half of the nine sets would be successful."

"Alright, I understand."

In the lowest-level pill room, there was only a low-level pill furnace. Mi Xiaojing had no choice but to use it, as he couldn't use Chen Shouyi's pill furnace. If he used that furnace, he would have been confident in producing a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill. Now, he could only rely on the low-level pill furnace and try his luck.

Using the lowest-level pill furnace to refine the relatively advanced Foundation Establishment Pill was something even Wang Weijun had never done before. However, he had a hunch that with the experience he had inherited, Mi Xiaojing might succeed.

The first furnace of pills failed!

The second furnace of pills still failed!

...

The seventh furnace of pills produced a low-quality Foundation Establishment Pill! Success!

Mi Xiaojing looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It was too difficult. He had many exquisite alchemy techniques, but due to the poor quality of the pill furnace, he couldn't fully utilize them. He felt like he was walking on a tightrope, very cautious and apprehensive. It was extremely frustrating.

It wasn't until the seventh furnace of pills that Mi Xiaojing finally grasped a pattern and seemed to have hope for success. However, he only had two sets of materials left, so he became even more cautious.

Mi Xiaojing sat in front of the pill furnace but didn't rush to continue refining. Instead, he began to practice Ascension, chanting mantras. In an instant, he calmed down, and his mind became clear and bright.

An hour later, Mi Xiaojing put down his prayer beads, rubbed his face vigorously, and stared at the pill furnace. He began to rethink the entire alchemy process, looking for shortcomings. Each alchemy attempt was a process of reflection. Only in this way could he have hope for success in the new alchemy attempt.

After repeatedly thinking and consulting Wang Weijun, there were still some questions that even he couldn't answer. Even with the inheritance, he couldn't unravel them because Wang Weijun had never used a low-level pill furnace to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
