Chapter 415 Failure, Go Get the Medicine!
"It's seven-tenths done..." Chen Fan was overjoyed, but dared not relax.
He took out the "century-old stone milk" that he had prepared beforehand, wrapped it with his divine sense, and slowly dripped it into the furnace.
The instant the stalactite touched the medicinal liquid!
boom!
The medicinal liquid in the furnace suddenly boiled, and an amber light shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption!
The three medicinal properties clashed again, and this time the conflict was even more intense than before!
Chen Fan's expression changed, and he hurriedly activated his spiritual power to suppress it.
However, the conflict between the medicinal properties had spiraled out of control. The medicinal liquid in the furnace was churning wildly, and the light was flashing wildly. The furnace body began to tremble violently, and the walls of the cauldron turned red!
"Oh no, the oven's going to explode!"
Chen Fan acted decisively, pressing down with both hands to forcefully seal the furnace opening with his immense spiritual power. At the same time, his divine sense surged into the furnace like a tide, attempting to stabilize the medicinal properties.
It's too late.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the Qiankun Furnace shook violently, its lid was flung open half a foot, and thick black smoke billowed out, mixed with the smell of burnt medicine.
The medicinal liquid in the furnace had turned into a pool of black ash, devoid of any remaining luster.
Chen Fan's face paled, and he slowly withdrew his hand.
The first attempt to refine a Nascent Soul Pill failed.
He stared silently at the ashes in the furnace, remaining motionless for a long time.
Three days and nights.
Working tirelessly and with complete focus, they exhausted twelve auxiliary herbs and three main medicinal plants, only to end up with a furnace of waste.
"The control of the heat is still not precise enough..." Chen Fan muttered to himself. "When the three main ingredients were combined, the medicinal properties of the snow lotus erupted too quickly, and the purple ginseng failed to neutralize it in time, resulting in an imbalance... I need to adjust the order of addition next time."
He stood up and brushed the medicine ash off his robes.
Although it failed, it was not without its gains.
At least we have figured out the points of conflict between the medicinal properties and have gained a deeper understanding of the control of the heat.
only……
Chen Fan looked at the table.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...
The medicinal herbs that were once displayed are now completely empty.
The main medicinal ingredients, which had been used up for thousands of years, were completely exhausted, and the auxiliary ingredients were also almost gone.
"I need to get some more medicinal herbs..." Chen Fan frowned.
Although the medicinal garden in the bowl contained rare herbs, he had already harvested all the thousand-year-old ones. If he wanted to continue refining pills, he would have to go outside to find more.
The nearest source of medicinal herbs is naturally the Qingyun Sect.
"There should still be some in Qinglian Old Dog's herb garden behind the mountain." Chen Fan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Perfect, let's go 'borrow' some for use."
With a thought, his figure faded away and merged into the void.
When it reappeared, it was already in the back mountain of the Qingyun Sect.
It was late at night, and the moon and stars were few.
The Qingyun Sect was sparsely lit, with only a few important halls still illuminated, as most disciples had already retired for the night.
Chen Fan concealed his aura and sped towards the medicine garden like a ghost.
He was already familiar with the layout of the Qingyun Sect. By avoiding several patrol posts, he arrived at the outside of the herb garden on the back mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.
The herb garden on the back mountain is located on the east side of the main peak, covering an area of 100 acres. It is shrouded in a light blue light shield, which is a protective formation.
Unlike the ordinary medicinal gardens of the Qingyun Sect, this is Qinglian Laogou's private garden!
Chen Fan had discovered this place by chance on his previous trips out.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the garden was filled with medicinal herbs, their fragrance faintly wafting through the array.
Chen Fan scanned the area with his divine sense to confirm that no one was on duty in the garden before raising his hand and placing it on the light shield.
Having mastered formations, he channeled his divine sense, like threads, from his palm into the formation.
Although the protective array was exquisite, it could not stop his divine sense from crumbling. In just a few breaths, the light barrier silently cracked open, just enough for one person to pass through.
Chen Fan slipped inside.
The scenery inside the park caught his eye.
The spiritual fields were neatly divided, with various spiritual herbs planted in different areas, ranging in age from several decades to several hundred years. There were also several areas shrouded by individual formations, which were obviously planted with rare medicinal materials.
Chen Fan walked straight towards those special areas.
Within the first array, there are three "Dragon Blood Vines," their vines as red as blood, their leaves adorned with dragon patterns, and they are approximately eight hundred years old.
"Not enough." Chen Fan shook his head and turned to the next spot.
Within the second array is a pond of "Frosty Jade Lotus," with lotus leaves as green as jade and lotus buds in bloom, dating back approximately six hundred years.
"It's still not enough."
Chen Fan looked at several places in succession, and the highest-aged "Earth Core Fruit" was only nine hundred years old, which was still a little short of a thousand years old.
"Could it be that the Qingyun Sect's thousand-year-old spiritual herbs have all been hidden away by that old dog Qinglian?" Chen Fan frowned, spreading his divine sense to carefully examine every inch of the herb garden.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.
Deep within the herb garden, there is a seemingly ordinary spiritual field planted with several rows of "Qi-gathering grass." This herb is very common and only about a hundred years old.
However, Chen Fan clearly sensed a faint array fluctuation beneath the spirit field.
"A smokescreen?"
He walked to the spirit field, and the concept of cause and effect permeated the ground.
Sure enough, there was a hidden formation three feet underground, and beneath the formation was a small underground palace!
The entrance to the underground palace was sealed by an array, but through the gaps, Chen Fan could clearly smell the rich medicinal fragrance coming from inside—the unique aroma of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
"Well hidden." Chen Fan's lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to break the formation.
Right now!
"Who goes there!"
A sharp shout came from behind!
Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine and turned around abruptly.
At the entrance of the herb garden, two figures stood suspended in mid-air.
The man on the left, with his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind and his beard and hair standing on end, was none other than the Taoist Qinglian.
The man on the right, dressed in blue with white hair and a cold expression, was a stranger to Chen Fan.
What shocked Chen Fan even more was that the old man in green robes had a deep and unfathomable aura, indicating that he was actually at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
"Old eunuch! It really is you!" The Qinglian Daoist's eyes blazed with murderous intent. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chen Fan's gaze swept over the two men, finally settling on the old man in blue: "And who is this fellow Daoist?"
"I am Zhou Shan, a guest retainer of the Wang family of Tiannanxing." Zhou Shan stared coldly at Chen Fan. "Old eunuch, have you arrested my master, Young Master Wang?"
Young Master Wang?
Chen Fan was taken aback, then remembered that the person was still working in the field!
He remained expressionless and shook his head, saying, "Young Master Wang? I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Still dare to argue!" Qinglian Daoist roared. "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this old eunuch is extremely cunning. Don't waste words with him; capture him first!"
Zhou Shan did not act immediately, but stared intently at Chen Fan, saying each word clearly, "I will ask you one last time, is my master in your hands?"
Chen Fan shrugged: "We really don't know."
"Very well." Zhou Shan nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "In that case, I will personally search your soul to see just how many secrets you are hiding!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move!
The pressure from the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator erupted suddenly, pressing down on Chen Fan as if it were a tangible force!
At the same time, Zhou Shan made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a giant cyan hand appeared out of thin air. The palm lines were clear and lifelike, and it carried the power to imprison space, grabbing directly at Chen Fan's crown!
This seemingly simple move actually blocked all of Chen Fan's escape routes.
Before the palm even arrived, the wind from the palm had already suffocated Chen Fan's spiritual energy, even slowing down the operation of his causal conception.
"Mid-stage Nascent Soul...!"
Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine and dared not take the attack head-on. He immediately activated the Rising Sun and Sinking Yin Technique.
A Tai Chi symbol appeared in front of him, with the yang half rising and the yin half sinking, forming a strange domain.
As the giant hand entered the domain, its speed decreased drastically, and its power was dispersed by 30%.
But its residual power is still terrifying!
Using the power of his domain, Chen Fan retreated rapidly, while simultaneously raising his left hand and blasting the Sunrise Ball towards the giant palm.
boom!
The ball of light collided with the giant hand, unleashing a blinding burst of light.
The giant palm paused slightly, as it was lifted half a foot by the ball of light, but then the palm force exploded, crushing the ball of light to pieces!
