Chapter 17: Refining Grain-Resistant Dan

Danding Sect, at the foot of Weapon Peak Mountain, an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator arrived and stood still for a few seconds before leaving.

Jiang Chen glanced at the lower Xuan class longsword he had just signed in the system space, it seemed that this Weapon Peak would also be a permanent signing place in the future.

Although the Danding Sect focused on alchemy as a great sect, there were other skills, such as Weapon Refining, a skill that also required a Fire Spirit Root, as well as Formation, Talismans, Sword Dao, and Beast Sentinel.

Alchemy was the strongest, Weaponry the next, and the other skills were very average, but they all had their own peaks.

For a month in a row, Jiang Chen every day, in addition to cultivation, is to come to the Weapon Peak to register or go to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to register, since the cultivation breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment, this Spiritual Medicine Garden to register the Spiritual Medicine has also changed from ten years of portions to fifty years of portions, used to refine the Foundation Establishment Dan level use of the elixir is also enough.

One month later.

"Successfully enrolled, received a Xuan Rank Middle Grade Alchemy Oven."

Jiang Chen looked at the alchemy kiln in the system room, his face still airy as he quickly returned to his hut.

The Weapon Peak guard disciple watched Jiang Chen leave and shook his head, this person had been coming every two days for a month, and only after talking to others earlier did he realise that this person had some quirks.

It was said that he had stood not only at the entrance to the Bible Pavilion, but also at the door of the Dan Room, and the place he went to most often was the Spirit Medicine Garden.

If it weren't for the disciple's innocence and low level of cultivation, he would have attracted attention within the sect, but now he could only say, "Weirdo too".

Jiang Chen didn't know that his reputation within the sect had changed to 'weirdo', even if he knew, Jiang Chen didn't care, strength was the honour in the Immortal Cultivation World, with strength, his own means of preserving his own life would be higher, and other people would respect him as well.

So when your cultivation level is low, you should concentrate on your cultivation, and don't argue with people about things like that, because that's just a waste of time, and it's putting the cart before the horse.

The next step is to close the door to alchemy, alchemy at the very beginning is certainly not possible to practice the pills of the Foundation Establishment Stage, you need to refine the pills used in the Qi Refining Stage, the simplest pills should be the Pure Grain Pills, the Dan Formula is also very simple, there are only three kinds of pills.

These three kinds of elixirs were also stored in the system room in large quantities.

Inside the room, after Jiang Chen had already refined the alchemy furnace, he said with emotion.

"System, I have to say, I still underestimated you, what a good system."

In fact, when he received the Alchemy Furnace, Jiang Chen had already understood that his system was really good.

Unlike some systems, at the beginning of the enrollment, it was a Heavenly Rank technique, a Heavenly Rank Alchemy Furnace, not thinking about the fact that the protagonist was just a pawn in the refining stage and was still causing trouble everywhere.

These things simply cannot be kept, a little well-informed old monster will come out to snatch these resources, the luck is a little worse will be seized.

Unlike this system, the things you sign up for are related to cultivation and can be a little better, even if others know about it, it won't raise any suspicion at all, and it also makes your cultivation path smoother.

After setting up the furnace, Jiang Chen performed a hand technique to refine each of the three spirit medicines of the Pure Grain Pill one by one before throwing them into the alchemy furnace one by one, and then controlled the fire to heat up the furnace.

As it continued to heat up, a burning smell eventually came from inside the furnace.

Jiang Chen was not the least bit discouraged, he hadn't been given a genius script to begin with, and he didn't presume to succeed in his first alchemy.

When he opened the alchemy furnace, nine of the ten Pioneer Dan were pitch black, and one was half black.

Even though cultivators had the ability to forget everything, Jiang Chen was still accustomed to using a pen and paper to record the news, and he felt that this way he would remember it more completely and systematically.

"First time alchemy, the elixir is taking shape, the technique should be fine, but the elixir is pitch black, it should be that the fire is not controlled enough ..."

After remembering, Jiang Chen waved his hand and took another elixir, this time Jiang Chen was sure that his technique was not a problem, and his entire mindset was calmer.

According to the established technique, the elixir was refined step by step, and then gradually poured into the Dan Furnace, the next control of the fire, Jiang Chen deliberately controlled the power, gradually and slowly heating it.

As time passed, a faint medicinal aroma emanated from the dan furnace, mixed with a few hints of burnt flavour.

Opening the Dan Oven, Jiang Chen took a look, ten pills, five were in complete form, emitting a medicinal fragrance, the remaining five were all burnt black, taking one pill out and smelling it, there was a Dan pattern on it, it should be a first grade pill.

"Not bad, it worked for the second time, it's just that the success rate is a bit too low, the quality is a bit poorer," Jiang Chen commented before starting to refine the Dan again.

The next morning, Jiang Chen looked at the ten pills in the furnace, eight of them were intact, each of them exuded a faint medicinal aroma, he took one and smelled it carefully, looking at it, there were two Dan lines on the pill, it was a second-level pill.

The materials used for the Rescue Dan were extremely simple, and at most, it could only be refined into a second-tier elixir.

The best alchemists in the human world for so many years had only been able to produce seventh grade pills, and as for the legendary eighth grade pills and ninth grade pills, they all seemed to be rumours that hadn't come out for so many years and were only recorded in books.

Next, Jiang Chen wanted to try a more complex elixir, the Qi Condensation Dan used in the Qi Refining Stage, although he couldn't use it now, it was a transitional exercise.

Compared to the Rescue Pill, the Qi Condensation Pill was much more complicated, requiring a total of five types of elixirs, the order of the five types of elixirs, and a specific temperature for each type of elixir to enter the furnace.

The difficulty factor had increased.

After counting the elixirs in the system space, he could still refine the Qi Condensation Dan twenty times, twenty times should be about right, but there didn't seem to be many elixirs in the Foundation Establishment Stage space, so it seemed like he couldn't stop signing up for it.

Jiang Chen lightly walked to the Elixir Garden to register, and then rushed to the mess hall to eat.

Jiang Chen's ears perked up and he listened intently, as if he was just discussing the matter of the boundary wall and talking about the sect's so-and-so elder returning and so-and-so elder leaving.

It also mentioned that the registration for the five-yearly clan competition had begun, and that many of the disciples were rushing to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, no one mentioned what had happened behind the mountain that night, and it seemed that the Danding Clan really did protect this genius very well.

The clan competition was meaningless to Jiang Chen, he was already a Foundation Establishment level cultivator, there was no point in fighting with a Qi Refining level cultivator, not to mention that it would be easy for the elders to discover his hidden cultivation.

If he were to fight with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, his own Foundation Establishment Stage 1 cultivation would just be for practice, maybe he would enter the clan competition in the next five years.

The next time, Jiang Chen is in a semi-closed state, every day there is time to register, if you are busy, forget it, at home is to cultivate, register.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Jiang Chen looked at the fourth level Qi Gathering Dan he had refined in the furnace and nodded with satisfaction.

"Fourth level is also the limit of Qi Gathering Dan, now the rate of pills is 90%, it's almost done, we can put it off for a while and focus on cultivation.

In these six months, because he was busy refining pills to enroll, Jiang Chen's cultivation progress had slowed down, he was now at the second stage of Foundation Establishment, and was about to break through to the third stage of Foundation Establishment, but the good thing was that refining pills was also fruitful, he had already refined four bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, and it should be enough for the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Chen completely closed his eyes to cultivate, not only to cultivate Gongfu, but also to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Stage spells, and the Sword Technique, which had previously been signed at the mid-level of the Xuan Rank, should also be on the agenda.

There was also the body technique, when you couldn't fight, running away was also very important, and the rest of the time, Jiang Chen also had to take a look at the Book of Treasure Appraisal, so as not to get into trouble if he came across any treasures.

Since Jiang Chen intends to cultivate up to the seventh level of Attainment, even if he reaches the late stage of Attainment, he will still go out to practise and train his mind so as not to affect his cultivation, which is why the Danding sect requires its disciples to go down to the mountains to practise when they reach the stage of Attainment.

This is also why the Danding sect requires its disciples to go to the mountains when they reach the foundation stage. The second reason is that they only go out to explore the world at the qi refining stage, and it is easy for them to run into dangers, and that is not practising, it is sending people's heads, and the foundation stage is safer.

Even so, for the safety of the disciples under the door, it is generally recommended that cultivators at the Foundation Stage practise within the Danding Sect's management area, and those at Jindan and above are free to do so.
