In the blink of an eye, there are only five days left before the one-month deadline.

On this day, Xiao Zining came to Danhong Garden as usual. As soon as he opened the door, he found old man Hong walking out of the inner courtyard. He tidied himself up in a rare way. At least he could see people.

"Master, are you going out?"

Old Man Hong never tidied himself up. Xiao Zining could not stand it and helped him tidy up. But today, for the first time, he was dressed neatly. It seemed that he was going out.

Old Man Hong nodded, "I'm leaving first. You can take care of the elixirs in the furnace."

"I……?"

Before Xiao Zining had time to say another sentence, Old Man Hong suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Zining looked at the huge elixir furnace. In fact, the elixir in this furnace has been almost refined. It will be ready in two hours. If Xiao Zining can control the time of opening the furnace, maybe the elixir in this furnace will be released.

Abolish.

Xiao Zining thought of this, and suddenly there was a vague expectation in his heart. He had never refined an elixir by himself, let alone opened a furnace with high difficulty.

However, Xiao Zining stayed in Danhongyuan for so many days, not just for fun. He was very familiar with all the steps through what he saw and heard.

Xiao Zining consciously walked to the raw material warehouse and sorted out the raw materials.

About half an hour later, a "buzz" sound suddenly came from the yard.

Xiao Zining suddenly raised his head and ducked out of the yard. The scene in front of him made his heart suddenly sink.

I saw that the alchemy furnace that was humming for refining stopped at this time, and the white smoke also dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"how so?"

Xiao Zining frowned and quickly stepped forward to check. He checked around the furnace and found no problems.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. His finger suddenly touched the ground, and a stream of spiritual power penetrated into the ground from his finger.

No response.

"really."

There is a problem with the spirit gathering array.

Under this elixir furnace, there is a spirit gathering formation, which is used to improve the purity of spiritual power when refining elixirs, and is also a source of continuous spiritual power.

Now that the source of spiritual power has disappeared, the furnace has naturally stopped operating.

Xiao Zining pondered for a moment, then placed his palms on the ground again. Soon, bright formations lit up on the ground.

But those formation patterns dimmed after lighting up for a moment, and Xiao Zining's face became even more ugly.

"It has been completely damaged and a new formation needs to be set up."

It happened that at this time, Old Man Hong was not here.

Xiao Zining looked at the half-finished product of the cauldron and felt a little headache. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to have made a decision.

He stamped his right foot and his whole body reached the sky above the furnace.

The spirit was highly concentrated, and the spiritual power was condensed to the fingertips. The lines of the spirit gathering array instantly appeared in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. Those lines surged in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, as if they were alive, changing positions for a while, but that

It does not affect Xiao Zining's carving of formation patterns at all.

As his fingers danced, bright formations soon appeared in the air. At first glance, they seemed to be exactly the same as the original spirit gathering formation, but upon closer inspection, some details were different.

Xiao Zining concentrated on it, he forgot everything, and every stroke he made was what he should consider to be correct.

About a quarter of an hour later, a dazzling formation suddenly appeared in Danhongyuan!

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy that had been floating around suddenly surged towards Danhongyuan!

Xiao Zining looked at the powerful formation power that lit up on the ground, and he was a little surprised. There was no doubt that this was the spirit gathering formation, but it also gave Xiao Zining a somewhat unfamiliar feeling.

Xiao Zining didn't have time to think too much and moved the cauldron back again.

The cauldron started operating again, but too much time passed, and the sound in the cauldron disappeared soon after. This time, Xiao Zining knew that this was a failure...

Xiao Zining opened the furnace and looked at the failed semi-finished products inside, feeling a little disappointed.

Suddenly, he turned around and returned to the raw material warehouse, took out two medicinal herbs, the broken bones of the white tiger and the willow green grass, and added them to the cauldron.

Xiao Zining closed the lid again, and in an instant, the things he had seen before appeared in his mind. A wisp of spiritual power appeared in his palm. What he didn't know was that there was a trace of chaotic spiritual power mixed in that spiritual power.

I saw Xiao Zining's spiritual power slowly wrapping around the furnace cauldron. There were bursts of buzzing sounds coming from the inside of the furnace cauldron, and white smoke spewed out from the vents.

Step by step, extract, mix, refine and shape.

Xiao Zining seemed to fall into a kind of artistic conception, a wonderful artistic conception. The smell of those raw materials entered his mind. He judged the situation of those raw materials in the alchemy furnace almost instantly, and then he

Controlling the fire in the road furnace, firing is meticulous.

Time passed minute by minute.

Beads of sweat gradually formed on Xiao Zining's forehead, and all the clothes on his back were wet, but he didn't even notice.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half...

The furnace cauldron made a rapid buzzing sound, and the sweat dripped from Xiao Zining's forehead even more.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, slapped his palm forward, and shouted loudly.

"open!!"

With a loud bang, the lid of the furnace exploded, and thick white smoke spurted out.

Xiao Zining fell to the ground with weak legs. Waves of dizziness came from the depths of his mind. He shook his head, but was stunned when he raised his eyes.

On the top of the furnace, there is a pill suspended, a pill that emits a light purple light!

"Cough cough cough——!!"

Xiao Zining almost choked on his own saliva. His eyes trembled and he swallowed uncontrollably.

He stretched out his palm, and the elixir with faint purple light fell into his palm.

The moment it fell on his palm, Xiao Zining's palm was burned.

He was very sure that he was awake at this time.

I am also very sure that the elixir in the palm of my hand is purple. Although it is only a light purple, it is undoubtedly purple!

At this moment, Xiao Zining could no longer describe his mood in words.

At this moment, there was a movement outside the door, and Xiao Zining immediately came to his senses and put the top-grade Tongxuan Pill into his Nai Ring.

Sure enough, Old Man Hong appeared at the door. As soon as he entered, he noticed something was wrong.

"Zi Ning, what happened?"

Old Man Hong quickly came to the furnace and checked the contents inside the furnace. What he saw was a pile of failed raw materials that had been completely destroyed and could no longer be used.

Those were the discarded raw materials that Xiao Zining had just discarded.

"Failed?"

He frowned, as if he felt something was wrong again, so Xiao Zining quickly diverted his attention.

"There is something wrong with the formation."

Sure enough, when he heard this, Old Man Hong no longer cared about the things in the furnace and just scrapped them. Although it was a bit wasteful, it was not a big deal.

Old Man Hong glanced at the formation below and said, "Isn't this good? No, this..."

He moved the cauldron away, and after seeing the spirit gathering formation above, he was slightly surprised, "Have the people from the formation hall been here?"

Although the spirit gathering array in front of me is intact, it is indeed not the previous one. Not only that, it is also more capable of gathering spirits than the previous spirit gathering array!

You must know that the spirit gathering formation he used before was already the most advanced spirit gathering formation among the Liuren Sect.

"Could it be that they have developed a new spirit gathering array?"

He looked at Xiao Zining and saw Xiao Zining shaking his head. He didn't intend to hide it from Old Man Hong. After all, he could know this kind of thing just by asking the formation hall. There was no need.

So Xiao Zining told Old Man Hong what he had done before, including re-refining the elixir, but did not tell him about the success of the elixir.

The more he listened, the more frightened the old man Hong became, "Do you know how to use formations?"

Xiao Zining nodded, "It's slightly involved."

Old Man Hong's eyes changed when he looked at Xiao Zining. Being able to restrain a formation that was even stronger than the previous spirit gathering formation was not just as simple as being slightly involved?!

He waved his hand and summoned a spiritual crane on the spot, "Zhen Xumi, come to my place, right now, right now!"

After saying that, the spirit crane flapped its wings and flew into the distance, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Zining was silent for a moment. What kind of attention did he seem to attract?

At this time, Old Man Hong turned around again and patted Xiao Zining's shoulder, "Failure is common, and this is a failed semi-finished product. Even if I take action, I may not be able to save it, so I can't blame you.

"

"You are talented. I can take you step by step in the future. Don't be discouraged."

Xiao Zining heard that Old Man Hong was trying to comfort him. He really couldn't tell him that he had refined the best elixir. He was afraid that Old Man Hong wouldn't be able to bear the stimulation.

If Old Man Hong knew that he had been practicing elixirs for more than three hundred years and had not refined the best elixirs, but that it had been refined by him, a young man who had just started training, would he be so angry that he would leave this world immediately?
