Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir

When Suiren Shi and the others heard this, they were stunned at first.

Then they were overjoyed. "Great!"

After thinking it over, they quickly realized the advantages of Luo Xuan's method.

Everyone who heard this grew anxious and desperately pushed forward, afraid that Luo Xuan might not notice them.

They finally understood.

Luo Xuan was choosing several people to learn alchemy.

What did that mean?

It meant they could watch Luo Xuan refine pills from up close!

That was far better than things were now!

After selecting several people, Luo Xuan had them follow him inside and began teaching them alchemy.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed in the Primordial World.

Flames flickered from time to time atop Shouyang Mountain.

The fragrance of pills permeated the entire area.

Some people even began refining pills right outside the courtyard.

One could see an Alchemy Furnace simply by taking a casual stroll.

Among them was an enormous Alchemy Furnace, almost as large as Luo Xuan's Five Directions Cauldron.

"Lie Yan, is your Alchemy Furnace really any good?"

Many curious members of the Human Race surrounded the enormous Alchemy Furnace.

A man standing atop the Alchemy Furnace snorted. "What do you know?"

"The larger the Alchemy Furnace, the more pills it can produce—and the better they'll be!"

Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Lie Yan shouted, "Don't you dare doubt me! Watch closely!"

As the flames rose, Lie Yan continuously tossed spirit roots into the Alchemy Furnace.

Before long, waves of pill fragrance drifted out of the enormous Alchemy Furnace.

"It really works?!"

Everyone nearby looked astonished and stared at Lie Yan enviously.

Seeing their envious gazes, Lie Yan's nose practically turned up to the heavens.

With a wave of his hand, several round pills flew out of the Alchemy Furnace.

Lie Yan said smugly, "See that? A First-turn Vitality Replenishing Pill."

The people around him immediately offered their congratulations.

The person who had mocked Lie Yan moments ago sighed. "I'm really envious of you. You can already refine First-turn Elixirs, but I still can't."

"It's fine. Master Xuan will be changing his batch of disciples soon. When the time comes, you'll definitely be able to refine First-turn Elixirs."

The smugness in Lie Yan's eyes grew even stronger.

"I hope so." The other person looked rather dispirited.

A thousand years ago, Luo Xuan had begun teaching alchemy. Gradually, everyone in the tribe started calling him "Master Xuan."

His prestige within the tribe had even risen to rival that of the Three Ancestors.

Naturally, this attracted a large number of people who wanted to learn alchemy, but he didn't think he would be selected next time.

Lie Yan leaned mysteriously toward him and said, "I'll tell you a secret."

"The larger the Alchemy Furnace, the better the results. I didn't come up with that myself—Master Xuan did."

The man was startled at first. Then he looked at Lie Yan suspiciously. "Really? Master Xuan said that?"

Lie Yan patted his chest. "Of course. Would I lie to you?"

Lie Yan had once happened to see a huge cauldron in Luo Xuan's house. That had inspired the idea, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Sure enough, it had worked when he tried it this time.

Seeing the certainty in Lie Yan's eyes, the man nodded excitedly. "Good. I'll go back and try it right away."

Scenes like this continued to play out across Shouyang Mountain.

A thousand kilometers outside Shouyang Mountain, a group of Sheep Demons with two horns growing from their heads coldly watched the mountain.

Suddenly, a Snake Demon drilled out of the ground.

"Sheep Jiu? What are you doing here?" The Snake Demon looked at the white sheep leading the group in surprise.

Yang Jiu had also been startled by the Snake Demon. He then said, "The Witch Clan attacked our side."

"I thought Shouyang Mountain looked like a good place, so I came here. Why do you look so disheveled?"

Once he had calmed down, the Sheep Demon noticed how travel-worn the Snake Demon looked.

When the Snake Demon heard that the Sheep Demons were heading to Shouyang Mountain, his expression changed drastically. "Yang Jiu, listen to my advice. You absolutely must not go to Shouyang Mountain."

Yang Jiu was puzzled. "Why? Isn't Shouyang Mountain just inhabited by a group of humans?"

"Come quickly! I found that Snake Demon! There's also a whole group of sheep here!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the distance.

Yang Jiu looked up and saw a member of the Human Race.

The Snake Demon's expression changed drastically, and he left without another word.

"How arrogant! Absolutely outrageous! They're nothing but a group of food!"

Seeing that the human was only at the late Heavenly Immortal realm and not much stronger than himself, murderous intent flickered in the Sheep Demon's eyes.

Moreover, more and more members of the Human Race soon appeared.

How arrogant!

Yang Jiu let out a roar and charged forward with the flock, engaging the humans in battle.

However, the looks in the humans' eyes left Yang Jiu puzzled.

Why were they looking at the Sheep Demons as if they were prey?

Before long, many parts of both sides' bodies were wounded.

"Humans, prepare to die!"

Yang Jiu laughed loudly, but then his smile froze on his face.

The humans across from him all took out pills and tossed them into their mouths as casually as if they were beans.

Then he watched as the wounds on their bodies visibly healed.

In just a few breaths, they seized the upper hand.

Yang Jiu was dumbfounded. When had the Primordial World gained so many pills?

But it was already too late for him to regret his decision. A burly man in the crowd laughed loudly. "Don't let a single one escape!"

A glint shone in the eyes of every member of the Human Race. These were all excellent materials for alchemy!

A man wielding a blade beside the burly man sighed with emotion. "Ever since Master Xuan began teaching alchemy, our lives have become much easier."

The burly man also laughed. "That's right. Hardly any Demon Race members come to invade Shouyang Mountain anymore."

"I heard Master Xuan is about to refine Three-Revolutions Golden Elixirs."

"I really hope we can return soon and have Master Xuan teach us how to refine Three-Revolutions Golden Elixirs." The burly man gazed at Shouyang Mountain expectantly.

And the Master Xuan they longed for so dearly—

At that moment, he had shut himself inside his house, disheveled from head to toe.

[The host has been detected refining nine Second-grade Immortal Spirit Elixirs of superior quality.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained one Blood Wolf Demon Core.] [The host has been detected refining nine Second-grade Immortal Spirit Elixirs of superior quality.] [Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Divine Ability: Heaven-Shrouding Miasma.]

Though they were clearly Third-grade Elixirs, Luo Xuan tossed the pills away casually, as if he still wasn't satisfied.

Behind him lay a floor covered in pills. They were all Third-grade Immortal Spirit Elixirs—at least dozens, perhaps even hundreds of them.

"No, the fire was too fierce in this batch..."

"No, there were too many Earth Immortal Branches in this batch..."

"Still no good. This batch didn't have enough Immortal Power..."

The Immortal Spirit Elixirs appeared to be of excellent quality, but to Luo Xuan, they were merely failed products from refining Three-Revolutions Golden Elixirs.

Laozi's Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could allow someone to become a Great Overarching Golden Immortal on the spot. As for the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir, even someone without the slightest cultivation could advance to the True Immortal realm after taking one.

The Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir was also a watershed in the Pill Dao.

Only after refining a Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir could one truly cross the threshold of the Pill Dao.

"Just a little more. I'm just a little short..."

Luo Xuan's hair was disheveled, but his eyes grew increasingly bright.

He felt that he was only one step away from refining a Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir.
