    Chapter 189 – Ten Thousand Corpse Xuan Yu Grand Formation, Alchemy!

    Black Water Pool, Xiahou Family.

    “Boom boom boom–“

    The entire Black Water Pool was enveloped by the ‘Ten Thousand Corpse Xuan Yu Grand Formation’.

    On the big formation, the gray and black mist intersected, as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood were floating, and the sound of ghosts crying and wailing.

    Around the large formation, a flying boat surrounded the black water pool.

    On top of these spirit boats, a formation pattern flickered, and a large amount of spiritual light converged, transforming into thick thunderbolts that bombarded the Ten Thousand Corpses Xuanxuan Specter Formation, causing a huge commotion.

    Not only that, in all directions, there was also a cultivator who, according to the formation master’s instructions, cast spells and drove artifacts, attacking towards the weak points of the large formation.

    More than two months ago, the Qing Yun Sect declared to the public that the Blackwater Xiahou Family was a devilish force, and summoned all the forces within its dominion to crusade against the Xiahou Clan.

    In less than a month’s time, the Xiahou Family’s affiliated family forces, the children of the marketplace, all suffered blows and were swept away.

    As for the Xiahou clan’s home base, the Black Water Pool, the Qing Yun Sect even sent JieDan real people to press for a crusade.

    However, what everyone did not expect was that the Xiahou Family’s original clan-suppressing grand formation, the ‘Black Water Xuan Wind Grand Formation’, had actually transformed into a third-order grand formation, the ‘Ten Thousand Corpses Xuan Phenomenon Grand Formation’.

    Even if the Green Cloud Sect’s JieDan Realist were to visit in person, he wouldn’t be able to break open this great formation for a while.

    Inside the black water pool.

    “Old Ancestor, I’m afraid that it won’t take long for the Green Cloud Sect to be able to lay down a formation to break the formation, affecting our Black Water Pool’s earth veins and thus breaking the grand formation.”

    The Xiahou Matriarch looked towards Xiahou Wuyi and said with worry.

    He was able to clearly see that there were formation masters from the Qing Yun Sect on several large hills around the Black Water Pool, laying down formations.

    “Don’t worry, with the Old Ancestor sitting in the Grand Formation, unless the Qing Yun Sect comes back with two more JieDan real people, they won’t be able to easily break through the Grand Formation.”

    “Furthermore, as long as time is dragged out long enough, once Jin makes its move, the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, the Underworld Ghost Sect, and the buried forces are bound to make their move as well, and by then, the Qingyun Sect will have no time to take care of itself.”

    Xiahou Wuwei said with an indifferent expression and calmed his mind.

    But there were also a few moments of worry in his eyes.

    Because all of this was based on the fact that the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master and the Five Poisons Sect Master, were able to repel the Xuan Jian True Monarch, Li Guanxuan.

    If Jin failed to successfully invade, their Xiahou family would become an insignificant outcast.

    Outside the big formation.

    A behemoth of a giant boat spirit ship stretched across the sky.

    On the deck of the Spirit Ship, there was a peerless beauty in a palace dress of colorful clothes standing.

    Her eyebrows were like distant daisies, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose was straight, and her vermilion lips were red and dainty.

    A head of black silk hair pulled into the cloud temples, oblique insert a colorful phoenix hairpin, graceful and noble.

    “How long until the Earthshaking Grand Formation is completed?”

    Yun Wanshuang stood with her hands negative, standing on a high place, with an ineffable coldness between her eyebrows, as if she was looking down on all living beings, overlooking the black water pool below.

    “Back to Mistress Caiyun, it is expected that the Earthshaking Grand Formation will be completed in a month’s time.”

    A formation master below, flew down to the spirit ship.

    Looking at the overwhelmingly beautiful woman with the aura of a rainbow, her eyes revealed amazement, and she said with a respectful bow to her.

    “As soon as possible.”

    Hearing this, Yun Wanshang said in a cold voice.

    Exuding an invisible majestic aura, drying people’s hearts and minds.

    “Yes!”

    When this array master heard these words, his body shook as he respectfully responded.

    Nine Heavenly Immortal City.

    Inside an inn.

    “To make an elixir, you must first have a furnace.”

    “As a second-ranked top-level alchemist, I actually don’t even have a furnace.”

    Lu Changsheng thought about making a wave of money through alchemy.

    Only then did he remember that he didn’t even have a Dan furnace.

    “Alchemy is not like talisman making, it is very time consuming.”

    “If I were to use my own Foundation Establishment Spirit Flame to make pills, I wouldn’t be able to be distracted from other things during the process.”

    “Therefore, the best way is to rent an alchemy room with an earth fire to make pills.”

    “Not only does this save money on purchasing a dan furnace, it also allows you to concoct dan and make talismans at the same time.”

    Lu Changsheng said in his heart and walked out of the inn.

    Prepare to see if there are any alchemy rooms for rent within the Immortal City.

    After all, he would have been short of money by now.

    There are a bunch of places where you need to spend spirit stones.

    If one were to spend 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones to purchase an alchemy furnace for temporary use, it was really not worth it.

    It’s entirely possible to wait for the time when you have free money, and take a step to acquire a good dan furnace.

    Also also.

    As a top-level alchemist, he didn’t need to carefully stare and guard in front of the furnace the entire time like most alchemists.

    It’s perfectly possible to do other things during the alchemy process.

    Even open more than one furnace at the same time to make pills.

    If the flame for alchemy relied entirely on his own Foundation Establishment Spirit Flame, then he wouldn’t be able to distract himself too much from other things.

    That’s why he chose to rent an alchemy room for alchemy now.

    Otherwise, it would be too much of a waste of time to keep in front of the dan furnace all day, and it would be better to make money by making talismans.

    “I wonder if your pavilion has any second-order dan furnaces and alchemy rooms for rent?”

    After inquiring a little, Lu Changsheng came to an alchemy workshop and asked out loud.

    “A second-order dan furnace and alchemy room?”

    “We are currently open to the public and only have a quasi second-order alchemy room.”

    The store’s reception, hearing this, shook his head.

    “Second-order alchemy room, no.”

    “The Dan Furnace is not available for rent.”

    “Your Excellency is a second-order alchemist, if you are willing to become our guest envoy, we are willing to provide you, Daoist, with a Dan furnace and a second-order alchemy room.”

    Lu Changsheng asked five or six alchemy workshops, alchemy stores.

    All of them said that they did not have a second-order alchemy workshop to rent.

    Even in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City, a second-order alchemist was someone with status.

    An alchemist of this caliber didn’t need to rent a second-order alchemy room at all.

    All have their own alchemy rooms.

    And these alchemy workshops, alchemy stores, also provide at most second-order alchemy rooms to their own alchemists, and will not rent them to the outside world.

    “Do you really have to buy your own furnace and go home to make pills.”

    “In that case, I might as well make money by making charms.”

    After walking out of an alchemy workshop, Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.

    He had originally thought that, relying on the high profits of alchemy, he would casually make a big profit.

    As a result, I didn’t expect to be embarrassed by such a small thing.

    “Forget it, the last one, if it really doesn’t work, alchemy will be put aside for now.”

    “When we go back, we’ll see about getting an alchemy workshop in the Red Leaf Marketplace, and take in two fire-fanning children, alchemy apprentices.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at an Alchemy Pavilion in front of him and said in his heart.

    Spinning around, he stepped inside.

    Inside this store, there was only one young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

    The young girl was wearing a goose-yellow long dress, pulling a pendant hair bun, her eyes were like water, her nose was quite pretty, and her mouth was red.

    Small white hands supported the bored face, under the goose yellow embroidered skirt wearing small embroidered shoes little feet swayed.

    Seeing Lu Changsheng, he immediately lifted his spirits and spoke out inquiring, “Welcome, may I ask what kind of elixir the guest needs to purchase?”

    “I would like to inquire, do you have any second-order dan furnaces and alchemy rooms for rent?”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the young girl and asked out loud.

    “Second-order Dan furnace and alchemy room, this is not open to the public .”

    When the young girl heard this, she subconsciously shook her head no.

    Every alchemist, does not like to let others enter their alchemy room and move their furnace.

    And it’s very dangerous to rent it out to the public and have a bad case of the furnace blowing up and so on.

    But just as the words came out, she looked at Lu Changsheng and inquired, “May I ask the guest, are you a second-order alchemist?”

    “If you are a second-order alchemist, our store’s has a second-order furnace and alchemy room to offer!”

    The young girl looked at Lu Changsheng with a pair of big bright eyes, full of anticipation and hope.

    “I’m a second-ranked alchemist, but I don’t have any thoughts of giving a job as a guest offering and town store alchemist for the time being.”

    Lu Changsheng smiled and shook his head.

    There were just a few stores, and two of them were also willing to provide second-order dan furnaces and alchemy rooms.

    However, the prerequisite was to sign a spiritual contract and become a guest offering, or a town store alchemist.

    Even though he had the Mystic Heavenly Bead and was able to cheat the Spirit Contract.

    But the basic morality in his heart kept him from doing such a thing.

    “I see.”

    The young girl heard this and bit her finger, lost in thought.

    “Since we don’t rent to the public that’s a bother.”

    Lu Changsheng didn’t care and slightly arched his hand towards the little girl.

    “Elder, wait.”

    “The Dan Furnace and Alchemy Room in our store are temporarily unused and can be rented out to senior.”

    “But the price is fifty spirit stones a day, with a ten day start, and the spirit stones consumed by the Earth Fire Formation need to be paid by you, senior.”

    When the yellow-skirted girl saw Lu Changsheng go out and leave, she immediately shouted out.

    “Oh?”

    When Lu Changsheng heard this, he stepped forward and looked at the young girl and nodded, “No problem.”

    Fifty Spirit Stones a day, this price wasn’t too expensive.

    After all, buying a second-order Dan furnace was casually tens of thousands of spirit stones.

    Like the second-order extreme grade Dan furnace, it was twice as expensive as a talisman pen, costing 30,000 to 40,000 spirit stones.

    This was also the reason why Lu Changsheng didn’t want to buy his own Dan furnace for the time being.

    “Just ten days for now, and I’ll make it up if I need to afterward, okay?”

    Lu Changsheng took out five hundred spirit stones and said towards the young girl.

    “Uh-huh, no problem, senior follow me.”

    Seeing this, the young girl took the spirit stone, her small face revealing a smile as she nodded vigorously.

    He then led Lu Changsheng to the backyard of the store, in front of a house built of ebony masonry.

    Lu Changsheng touched the black wall and it was cold.

    Know that it’s a docking stone.

    This type of masonry is very resistant to heat.

    Most of the alchemy, refining rooms are built with this material.

    Otherwise, the heat of the earth fire alone would make most of the materials unable to withstand it, and they would have to be melted.

    “Elder, this is our family’s alchemy room, the fire is very stable, enough to refine most pills.”

    The young girl took out a token and opened the alchemy room ban.

    It’s not big inside, only 40 or 50 square feet, clean and simple.

    A fist-sized gourd hangs on each of the four walls.

    In the center of the room, there was a round dun that was about ten feet wide.

    This round pier is made of dock stone, very flat, only half a foot high.

    On the outside of the round pier, eight fire-red miniature dragon heads are inlaid in a lifelike fashion.

    And in the dragon’s head the mouth is slightly raised, aimed right over the center of the round dun, in a spitting position.

    “How does this work?”

    Lu Changsheng looked at this alchemy room and knew that the round pier was the ground fire mouth, and asked out loud.

    “Elder you don’t know?”

    The young girl’s little head tilted, a little surprised.

    Like the Nine Heavens Immortal City, if you want to open an alchemy, refining store, and access to the earth fire, you are looking for the Nine Heavens Immortal City to handle it.

    Therefore, the alchemy rooms in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City were basically more or less the same.

    “It’s my first time in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City.”

    Lu Changsheng gave an explanation.

    “So it is.”

    The young girl sniffed indistinctly.

    He also understood why Lu Changsheng wanted to rent the alchemy room.

    Immediately, with a cute face, he went forward and pointed to the round pier and introduced, “This is the ground fire port of the alchemy room, and the ground fire needed for alchemy is spewed out from these eight dragon heads.”

    “Elder, the flame size and height can be adjusted here.”

    “Regarding the specific method of driving, senior can take a look at this jade slip.”

    The young girl pointed to the round pier and after a brief introduction, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Lu Changsheng.

    “Good.”

    Lu Changsheng took the jade slip and briefly scanned it.

    Inside is the ground fire formation drive, using a rough introduction.

    He looked at the young girl and asked, “Where is the alchemy furnace?”

    “The alchemy furnace was put away before, it’s upstairs, senior wait, I’ll go fetch it.”

    When the young girl heard this, she tapped her head and immediately said.

    Spinning on his little legs, he walked quickly out of the room.

    “It seems that this store, should belong to the severely mismanaged category.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the young girl’s appearance and shook his head slightly.

    There is only one young girl in this store.

    The young girl’s bored look just now, the spirit elixirs placed on the store’s counter, most of them were just first-order elixirs.

    He then roughly judged that the store was not doing too well at the moment.

    Like the several alchemy stores he had just visited, even if they were bad, they still had one or two reception apprentices.

    And look at the alchemy room clean appearance, Dan furnace are put away, indicating that should sit in the town Dan master also did not.

    “Senior, the alchemy furnace.”

    Not long after, the young girl returned to the room and took out a half-man tall red copper colored cloud patterned alchemy furnace from her storage bag.

    “Okay, thanks a lot.”

    Lu Changsheng looked at the Dan Furnace in front of him, and with the mana surging within his body, he immediately made the Dan Furnace fall smoothly onto the eight fire-breathing dragon heads.

    “By the way senior, within these gourds, they are filled with Mars Sand, which can temporarily strengthen the power of the earth fire.”

    “If senior feels that the temperature of the ground fire is not hot enough and needs a big fire to boost its power, you can add Mars Sand, this is free.”

    The young girl pointed to the gourd on the wall and spoke out.

    “Okay, thanks a lot.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded and said with a guffaw.

    “Alright, senior, you refine the pills, I won’t bother you anymore.”

    “I’ve been out front at the store, you can yell at me if you need anything.”

    “By the way, my name is Ri Xingyu.”

    The yellow-skirted girl spoke out.

    “Oh, trouble Miss Lai.”

    Lu Changsheng nodded.

    After speaking, he added, “My name is Ye Fan.”

    “Okay, Elder Ye.”

    When the young girl heard the name, her eyes suddenly smiled like two crescent moons.

    She knew that the fact that the other person was willing to give her name meant that the relationship had also drawn closer.

    “This Senior Ye looks quite talkative, and I don’t know if Sister will be able to hire a Sitting Dan Master.”

    “If we don’t have a sitting dan master, I wonder if we can beg this Senior Ye.”

    The young girl secretly said in her heart after she walked out of the alchemy room.

    “Whew.”

    After the young girl left, Lu Changsheng closed the door to the alchemy room and began to prepare for alchemy.

    First, he set three medium grade spirit stones into the Earth Fire Formation.

    Then according to the jade slip’s driving spell, he struck eight red lights on the dragon’s head at once.

    “Pfft!”

    The dragon’s head immediately absorbed the red light, and then the dragon’s mouth spewed out a trail of purple flames.

    It caused a hot, high temperature to permeate the alchemy room.

    “Let’s just have a furnace of Aura Pills first to familiarize ourselves.”

    Lu Changsheng was going to first refine a furnace of Harmonization Pill that had an increase for Foundation Establishment cultivation.

    “Up!”

    He looked at the dan furnace and struck an aura with both hands.

    But see.

    The lid of the furnace flew up and a spiritual water rushed into the furnace, clearing it clean.

    Immediately after that, a tap on the storage bag.

    Flavor after flavor of spiritual medicine flew into the Dan furnace to be quenched.

    “Blue Moon Grass, Citrus Spectral Flower, Bamboo Cloud Juice.”

    Although it was the first time he had ever made pills, Lu Changsheng was not the least bit nervous and was calm and relaxed.

    With a second-order alchemy skill, a normal second-order elixir like the Aura Pill was a snap for him.

    Just like that, Lu Changsheng put all the required several types of spirit medicines into the Dan Furnace and then put the lid back on.

    This step was perfect and there was no room for error.

    As he watched the furnace fire begin to slowly burn and quench the elixir, Lu Changsheng took out his talismanic brush, talismanic paper, and spirit ink and began to draw.

    Taking advantage of the free time between alchemy, he took the time to draw a few spirit talismans.

    If this scene were to be seen by someone, they would be so shocked that they would be unable to speak.
