Xiao Yuan didn't ask Lin Qingyao what she wanted the Rong Ling Cao for, and directly agreed: "This is easy to do." The Rong Ling Cao wasn't a particularly precious or expensive spiritual herb at the time, wanting some young sprouts and seeds was simply a trivial matter.

  "Lin Shimei has come, why don't you go with me to the mountain as a guest?" Xiao Yuanzi warmly invited.

  Lin Qingyao smiled and shook her head, refusing: "I'll just wait for you here." She didn't want to go up the mountain and provoke Xiao Yuanzi's arrogant senior sister.

  Xiao Yuan did not force Lin Qingyao to break through, but instead instructed the people in the Taoist temple to treat Lin Qingyao well. He himself flew up the mountain at a rapid pace.

  Before long, Xiao Yuanzi came down.

  Lin Qingyao looked at what Xiao Yuanzi handed over, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

  A big package, with over a hundred fusion spirit grass seeds, plus a dozen or so young seedlings, and some mature fusion spirit grass.

  Lin Qingyao held it in her hand, feeling its weight. She had only wanted one or two, but didn't expect Xiao Yuanzi to give her so many!

  It can be seen that Xiao Yuan is a person who values emotions and righteousness. Lin Qingyao sincerely thanked him before bidding farewell to him and leaving Mao Shan.

  "Old pine, next I'm going to Fan Di to refine the elixir, do you and Xiao Xiang want to come with me?" Lin Qingyao asked.

  After all, the land is barren and desolate, mostly Gobi Desert, which is very unsuitable for cultivation.

  "Come on, let's go together. This old bone of mine hasn't been out and about for a long time. Besides, constant cultivation is not good either. Little Xiang is still young and should come out to see the world."

  China's mountains and rivers are vast, with many places rich in geothermal resources.

  There are also many volcanoes, suitable for alchemy, but Lin Qingyao did not choose these, instead choosing Fanjiang. Firstly, the fire spirit energy here is more abundant than elsewhere, and secondly, this place is vast and sparsely populated, allowing one to find a quiet spot suitable for alchemy.

  It's already late autumn now and winter is just around the corner.

  At noon on a certain day, the weather was still very hot, and the scorching sun was baking the earth.

  The wind at the street corner was very strong, blowing on pedestrians' bodies, as if it were a knife cutting into their skin, causing a burning pain.

  Now, however, there appeared a group of people, an old man and a young boy, as well as a sixteen or seventeen year-old girl. This group of people were all lightly dressed and walking in the wilderness of the Gobi Desert, seemingly not bothered at all by this kind of weather.

  It was that young girl who walked on the road with a light and nimble gait.

  The people of this place have a lot of dark skin, but the girls are fair and delicate, like carved jade. The 16- or 17-year-old girl has skin as smooth as frozen butter. Even the old people have good skin tone.

  As soon as Lin Qingyao entered the foreign land, she felt the violent fire attribute spiritual energy here. Although the spiritual energy here was also very thin, even this thin spiritual energy contained a sense of violence.

  Lin Qingyao stood here, suddenly feeling the Dahuan Creation Technique in her body, restless and running wildly, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy around her.

  Lin Qingyao felt a little anxious, such violent spiritual energy was easy to absorb, but if she wanted to refine it, it wouldn't be done in one day. If the speed of refining wasn't faster than the speed of absorption, it would easily damage her meridians and dantian.

  Lin Qingyao hastily controlled herself, preventing herself from unconsciously absorbing the fire attribute spiritual energy.

  Fortunately, she was still able to control this inexplicable change.

  Lin Qingyao wanted to refine the elixir, so she naturally chose a place with dense fire-attribute spiritual energy that could also induce earth fire. This place couldn't have anyone coming to disturb her.

  Lin Qingyao searched for a long time and found a seam in the ground.

  This fault line is located in a valley.

  A fissure over two meters wide split open on the ground, and Lin Qingyao stood at its edge, where she could feel the fire-attributed spiritual energy emanating from underground.

  This should be a fire vein, and it's a good place to refine the elixir.

  In the azure sky, there are a few clouds like cotton wool floating around, giving this monotonous hill world a different color.

  Xiao Xiang looked at Lin Qingyao with concern and said in a crisp tone: "Sister Lin, are you really going down?"

  Lin Qingyao looked at the deep crack in the ground and estimated the danger of this trip.

  She should be able to protect herself even if she can't refine the elixir, and while there is certainly danger involved, cultivation itself is a matter of licking blood off the tip of a knife. If she's afraid of this and that, then she'll never make any progress in her lifetime.

  Lin Qingyao reached out and touched Xiao Xiang's buns, comforting her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Wait for sister to come out and take you to eat grapes here."

  Song Lao looked at Lin Qingyao and still felt a bit uneasy, so he rummaged through his storage bag and took out something similar.

  That was a pale blue bead. Song Lao handed it over to Lin Qingyao and said, "You take this."

  Lin Qingyao recognized it, the bead that Old Song was injured with should be a beast dan of an aquatic attribute yao beast. Just by looking at it, one could tell that this yao beast's rank wasn't low.

  "If something really goes wrong, the water attribute spiritual energy in this inner elixir should be able to protect you completely." Song Lao said with concern.

  Lin Qingyao took over the beast dan and then jumped into the ground seam with ease.

  In the process of falling, Lin Qingyao could already feel the rolling heat waves coming from below.

  At a depth of over twenty meters underground, Lin Qingyao used her spiritual power to protect herself all around. The heat in this place had already made it difficult for her transformed body to bear.

  Lin Qingyao continued to move downward for another ten meters before she saw the rolling magma underground.

  The scarlet magma above you, with flames burning fiercely, seemed to hold a power that made people yearn for it. Lin Qingyao's mind was in an uproar, and she almost rushed into the magma in an instant.

  Lin Qingyao suppressed the urge in her heart, her face as cold as frost. The strange feeling she had just experienced was absolutely not something she herself produced!

  Lin Qingyao knew that there must be some secret in her body that she didn't know about. That extremely clear voice, who was it? Lin Qingyao's intuition told her that the person who had saved her twice was absolutely not just a passerby...

  Lin Qingyao still couldn't figure it out in the end. She shook her head and decided not to think about this matter anymore.

  It's blessing or disaster, and the owner of that voice seemed to have no malice towards her either, otherwise he wouldn't have saved her twice. She'll just pretend he doesn't exist, Lin Qingyao comforted herself.

  At this moment, Lin Qingyao's body was about to fall into the molten lava.

  She wasn't flustered, this distance was just what she wanted. She summoned the Fu Yao sword, and with a flick of her wrist, it transformed into a three-foot-long icy sword. She placed the Fu Yao sword underfoot, preventing herself from falling down. Her cultivation was still not high, and she couldn't stand in mid-air without support, so she had to rely on her magical artifact.

  Then she began digging holes around the ground seam with both hands pinched together.

  First use the sharp gold technique to cut open the surrounding stones, then use spiritual power to roll all these stones into that rolling magma.

  As soon as the stone fell into the magma, it was melted and rolled into the rock wave.

  Lin Qingyao couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the power of nature, which was boundless and endless, even surpassing that of these cultivators.

  Lin Qingyao dug out a ten-meter-square cave, and then planned to excavate a circular fire well in the middle of the cave, which led directly to the fierce flames underground.

  Just as they were about to break through, a thin layer of red rock blocked their way.

  Lin Qingyao tried the Sharp Gold Technique again, but it still didn't work. In the end, she had no choice but to infuse her spiritual energy into the Fu Yao Sword and try to dig downwards with all her might. Although the Fu Yao Sword was not a high-grade artifact, it was still a magical treasure after all. However, as she tried to scrape away at this thin layer of stone, she found it to be extremely laborious, and only managed to scrape off a tiny bit after a long time.

  Lin Qingyao looked at the bottom of the fire well, that thin layer of fiery red stones, and felt a bit helpless.

  Helpless Lin Qingyao had no choice but to use the most stupid method, using the Fu Yao sword to slowly grind away at the layer of stone below.

  Those fiery red stone foams, Lin Qingyao didn't throw them away. She knew that even if the Fu Yao sword couldn't cut through them, they wouldn't be ordinary stones. Whether or not they were useful, she would take them back first!

  Lin Qingyao held this mentality and collected these fiery red stone powders.

  As soon as the fire well was opened, fierce flames rushed up along the well.

  The leaping flames instantly enveloped the small cave that Lin Qingyao had dug out, wrapping it in a wave of heat.

  Before opening the Fire Well, Lin Qingyao had already planted the Rong Ling grass. Even though it was a spatial plant that grew at a rate of one day per year, it still needed several days to mature.

  Lin Qingyao then closed her eyes and began to cultivate.

  She has a fire attribute spiritual root, and cultivating in such a place is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

  It's just a pity that the fire attribute spiritual energy here is too violent, making it impossible for her to absorb it quickly and easily, requiring her to absorb and refine it at the same time.

  After two days of cultivation, Lin Qingyao stopped cultivating.

  Lin Qingyao began to recall the Dan Jue, from refining spiritual medicine to the final collection of dan, she didn't miss a single detail.

  Yunmen is not a proper sect that has been passed down through the Dan Tao, so these alchemy techniques can only be said to be ordinary goods, and there's no difficulty in them. Lin Qingyao learned it easily, naturally finding it very simple.

  But thinking is one thing, doing is another, so Lin Qingyao didn't dare to be careless at all.

  Lin Qingyao's hands moved slightly, and a stream of spiritual light landed on the alchemy furnace.

  The censer slowly grew larger and finally rotated and fell on top of the fire well.

  Lin Qingyao took out the spiritual medicine that had been prepared in advance, bit by bit, and began to condense it while taking advantage of the warm stove's timing.

  Fortunately, these spiritual medicines grew in space and had few impurities. They were easy to condense, which saved Lin Qingyao a lot of trouble.

  "Put the Lingcao last, first put the Chi Xia Cao..." Lin Qingyao sat with her mind focused on the alchemy formula.
