Chapter 151: Challenging the Limit

  Shen Xiang and Wu Xuanxuan were both somewhat surprised, they didn't think that Dan Changlao would actually dare to gamble.

  Refining the Zhū Jī Dān was already a very easy thing for Shen Xiang, he had succeeded many times before. Thinking that he would soon be able to see the true face of the Dan Elder, his heart was secretly excited. At that time, he would not only see the true face of the Dan Elder, but also a beautiful jade body...

  Shen Xiang was only curious about Dan Changlao because he always felt that this Dan Changlao was a very familiar person to him, but didn't know who it was.

  "Dan Changlao, I currently don't have any other materials except for the Qingxuan fruit. Give me a few days to gather them." Shen Xiang said with a sly smile, his mischievous expression making Dan Changlao secretly scold him in her heart.

  "I have it here, I'll sell it to you!" Dan Changlao took out a large batch of materials, including Qian Guo, Jin Lingguo, one grain of Life Essence used up more than half of the demon pill, and other auxiliary medicine materials over a thousand years old.

  Shen Xiang smiled and said: "I'll owe you the crystal stone for now. If I successfully refine it, then that will also exempt these medicinal materials from needing a crystal stone."

  "Alright, but if you can't refine it, you'll have to admit defeat. You have two hours to complete it, let's begin!" Dan Lao leaned against the Qingxuan fruit tree and sat down, waving his hand for Wu Xuanxuan to come over and sit beside him.

  Wu Xuanxuan said in a low voice: "Dan Changlao, how can you be so reckless? What if you lose..."

  "Isn't it just a matter of stripping and showing him? What's the big deal? If I win, I'll make a fortune!"

  Wu Xuanxuan was speechless in her heart, her pretty face flushed bright red. She hadn't expected that Dan Changlao would be so open-minded and not mind others seeing her body.

  Elder Dan could tell what Wu Xuanxuan was thinking, and she added in a low voice: "It's okay to show it to him, but I would never gamble with anyone else..."

  At this point, Dan Chang Lao hastily closed her mouth, she realized that the more she explained, the easier it was for people to misunderstand.

  Wu Xuanxuan suddenly felt that Dan Lao didn't seem to hate Shen Xiang as much as he appeared on the surface, and she also felt that Dan Lao seemed to have a special feeling towards Shen Xiang. This was a woman's intuition; if it were Shen Xiang, he would never think this way.

  "Old Master Dan, why are you showing me nothing?" Shen Xiang's ears were very sharp, and even when he was fully focused on selecting medicinal materials, he could still hear the faint sounds around him.

  Shen Xiang was even more curious about this point.

  "Don't ask too much, refine your pill! And this matter must not be leaked out." Dan Lao said coldly, then looked at Wu Xuanxuan again, and Wu Xuanxuan nodded.

  Shen Xiang picked out a medicinal herb, then plucked a Qingxuan fruit. The spiritual energy contained within this Qingxuan fruit was just as abundant as the ones before, but Dan Lao's medicinal herbs were not of high quality, so he couldn't refine four pills in one furnace!

  "Three pills should be possible!" Shen Xiang estimated that last time he tested in the Danxiang Tower, it was also because of the quality of other medicinal materials that he could only refine two pills.

  One furnace four grains of foundation establishment pill! Dan Lao and Wu Xuanxuan had never heard of it, in their understanding of the foundation establishment pill, two grains were the limit, but Dan Lao was able to do it.

  Shen Xiang wanted to refine four pellets, so he added a bit more medicinal materials. This was also to avoid wasting the Qingxuan fruit and make good use of it, allowing this high-quality Qingxuan fruit to be refined into four pellets!

  "Hmph, why choose so many medicinal materials? Are you a rookie at refining? You'll definitely blow up the furnace!" Dan Lao laughed coldly. Shen Xiang's every move was under her scrutiny, and she only reminded him because she was worried about losing the Qingxuan fruit.

  Shen Xiang glanced at her: "Just wait there and take off your clothes, don't waste words, losing is also my problem."

  Elder Dan's body shook, and Wu Xuanxuan was also shocked. She was worried that Shen Xiang would be killed by Elder Dan at any moment!

  Shen Xiang is no longer afraid of Dan Changlao, he is just Dan Changlao's younger uncle, as long as it's not too excessive, at most he will be scolded a few times. Moreover, he thinks it's very interesting to tease Dan Changlao, this female junior apprentice, and he has a kind of refreshing sense of superiority.

  Elder Dan saw Shen Xiang handling the medicinal materials with ease and was secretly amazed. She could tell that Shen Xiang wasn't a novice at refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and she began to worry that she might lose.

  Shen Xiang was the first to irregularly refine the foundation-building pill, he took the initiative to add some medicinal materials, just to be able to refine four pills, and he had no bottom line in his heart. However, if it failed, he wouldn't be afraid, because when the time came, he would still have time to re-refine. If successful, that would be the best, four foundation-building pills, which would be a huge fortune.

  The process of processing medicinal materials is also very particular, and if there is no guidance, it is difficult to perfectly remove other impurities in the medicinal materials. Especially for high-grade elixirs, great importance is attached to the work outside the furnace. If there is a slight mistake, it will lead to failure.

  For others, it might be extremely difficult, but Shen Xiang made it look effortless. He simply let out a layer of invisible flames from his hands and slowly stroked the medicinal materials with them, burning away some impurities on the surface and inside the materials. This was a great test of an alchemist's spiritual awareness and control over fire.

  Wu Xuanxuan watched with a secretly admiring gaze, it was the first time she saw someone else refine the foundation pill, and it was her heartthrob Shen Xiang who was fully focused on refining the pill. Looking at Shen Xiang's serious expression, Wu Xuanxuan's face turned slightly red, because when men are serious, they are also the most charming.

  Soon, Shen Xiang completed the external work and began to put the medicinal materials into the Huo Long Bao furnace in an orderly manner. Then he poured flames into the Dan furnace, refining four Zhu Ji Dan pills, which was also a great challenge for him!

  Dan Changlao and Wu Xuanxuan did not know the situation inside the alchemy furnace, but they felt the change in flame temperature. They saw Shen Xiang concentrating on refining the elixir. Although this was the case, it still surprised them, because Shen Xiang had indeed refined the Foundation Establishment Pill before, otherwise he wouldn't have proceeded so smoothly.

  Elder Dan suddenly grasped Wu Xuanxuan's hand, holding it very tightly. It was clear that she was nervous. Wu Xuanxuan felt her face flush again as her hand was held by Elder Dan's soft and delicate hand. She naturally understood what Elder Dan was nervous about. To be honest, even she was nervous for Elder Dan, because if Elder Dan lost, he would have to strip naked in front of Shen Xiang!

  Half a time period passed, the Flame Dragon Furnace started shaking violently, Shen Xiang was also sweating profusely, and Dan Chang Lao's grip on Wu Qianqian's jade hand relaxed a bit, both of their hands were full of sweat, at this moment she thought Shen Xiang was about to explode the furnace.

  Shen Xiang was making the extremely dense and violently unpredictable medicinal spirit merge together, which would cause the Flame Dragon Furnace to shake. The medicinal materials had all been transformed into powder and successfully merged together, being divided by Shen Xiang's divine sense into four even piles.

  Half a time later, Dan Changlao became tense again, because Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace, which was as calm as a ruby carving, had calmed down, that is to say, Shen Xiang had overcome another hurdle!

  Shen Xiang has already merged multiple medicinal spirits with different properties together, now he begins to divide the medicinal spirit into four portions and then merge them with that medicinal powder.

  The fusion process was very unstable, and Shen Xiang was also consuming a large amount of divine consciousness. Fortunately, he had previously cultivated the Divine Path Soul Embryo, otherwise his divine consciousness would have been consumed long ago. Refining four Foundation Establishment Pills was much harder than he had imagined!

  The alchemy furnace shook violently again, spewing out waves of scorching heat from time to time. Dan Lao and Wu Xuanxuan watched quietly, their hearts tense with anxiety. Shen Xiang was Wu Xuanxuan's heartthrob, so she naturally didn't want her heartthrob to see another woman's body. Therefore, she was now in a dilemma - she hoped Shen Xiang would succeed in his alchemy, but at the same time, she also kind of didn't hope so.

  It was already late at night, and unknowingly, Shen Xiang had been refining for half a time. The fiercely shaking pill furnace suddenly calmed down, while Shen Xiang's face turned somewhat pale, his whole body drenched in sweat. He opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and smiled slightly: "Success!"
