Chapter 687: Need to refine specific elixir

687. Chapter 685 Need to refine specific elixir

He stood in the center of the hall, his eyes fixed tightly on the massive stone stele, pondering its mysteries.

"Burning Heaven Diagram Stele, what power do you actually hide?"

Lu Yuan's heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He took out an ancient book, which recorded some information about the Burning Heaven Diagram Stele.

Lu Yuan turned page after page, reading attentively.

Suddenly, a clear bell rang, breaking his train of thought.

Lu Yuan looked up and saw a young disciple standing at the entrance.

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, please give me some guidance."

The young disciple bowed respectfully.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Please speak."

The young disciple said somewhat nervously: "I have encountered an obstacle while practicing the Five Elements Escape Technique recently, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

Lu Yuan felt a slight realization: "The Five Elements Escape Technique requires harmonizing the five elemental forces; you may be lacking in one aspect, making it difficult to perform."

"You can try using Spirit Lamp Stone to make adjustments, strengthening the needed elemental power."

After hearing this, the young disciple suddenly understood: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance; I will go try it now."

After he left, several more disciples came to Lu Yuan one after another, hoping to receive his instruction.

Lu Yuan patiently guided each person, giving them encouragement and affirmation.

The Thunder Elixir Hall became a holy place for many disciples to study and practice immortal arts.

Lu Yuan's fame spread among the disciples, with people coming every day seeking his reputation.

Suddenly, two strangers, a man and a woman, appeared before Lu Yuan; they went upstairs to the Thunder Elixir Hall and said they needed to refine a specific elixir.

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised but did not show it; he asked, "What elixir do you need to refine?"

"Do you have the relevant materials and formula?"

The man smiled and handed Lu Yuan a jade slip, saying mysteriously: "This is the formula and required materials for the Wealth Fortune Pill; we hope to refine it in your Elixir Pavilion."

Lu Yuan took the jade slip, unfolded it slightly, and warned: "The Wealth Fortune Pill is a high-grade elixir; its refinement process is rather complex and carries certain risks."

"I need to remind you that, since I have never personally refined this kind of elixir before, I cannot guarantee the success rate."

The woman tightly grasped the man's hand and said firmly: "We have considered this; please, Senior Brother, you must help us."

Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

He knew that as a cultivator, he should do his utmost to help others rather than shirk responsibility.

"Since you insist on proceeding with the refinement, let's begin."

Lu Yuan led them to the elixir refining area.

At this moment, a faint mist of smoke permeated the Thunder Elixir Hall, with various elixir furnaces and medicinal herbs placed around.

Lu Yuan directed the disciples to prepare all the needed materials and began to explain in detail the refinement process of the Wealth Fortune Pill.

The man listened attentively with a serious expression, while the woman busily assisted him from the side.

After careful and meticulous operation, Lu Yuan began placing various medicinal herbs into the elixir furnace, igniting the flame and mastering the crucial heat control.

Time quietly passed; Lu Yuan and the two guests almost forgot about the outside world.

They exerted all their cultivation and immortal arts to maintain focus and calm.

Every step needed to be carried out precisely; a slight mistake could lead to failure.

Soon after, bright light burst from within the elixir furnace, and the Wealth Fortune Pill finally began to form.

Lu Yuan carefully controlled the fire, stabilizing it.

The Wealth Fortune Pill, fused with various heavenly treasures, exuded an alluring fragrance that made one's heart yearn.

But just then, Lu Yuan suddenly sensed an abnormal energy fluctuation; his brows furrowed slightly, he felt doubtful, scanned his surroundings warily, and slowed his movements.

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, what's wrong?" the woman asked nervously, sensing Lu Yuan's change.

Lu Yuan lifted his head to look at the two guests, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance: "You are actually Demonic Path cultivators!"

The two guests smiled; the man said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother, since you have discovered us, we will no longer conceal ourselves."

"We are indeed Demonic Path cultivators, not here to do any evil."

"We simply need the Wealth Fortune Pill urgently to carry out an important task."

Lu Yuan felt uneasy in his heart; he understood that Demonic Path cultivators often act in ways that repeatedly challenge the boundaries of the orthodox path.

"Since you have already stated your identity and purpose, I have no reason to stop you."

Lu Yuan said lightly: "But please remember, when using the Wealth Fortune Pill, you must treat it with caution."

"It contains immense luck power; if used improperly, it may invite disaster."

The two Demonic Path cultivators nodded, expressing their gratitude to Lu Yuan.

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan finally decided to propose a plan: "Since you are only here to refine a specific elixir and have no other purpose,"

"I can change the payment method to spirit crystals."

This remark let the two Demonic Path cultivators relax a little.

The man nodded and said: "Alright, we are willing to pay five hundred spirit crystals as a deposit."

Both parties reached an agreement; Lu Yuan informed them in advance that ten days were needed to complete the refinement task, and he firmly emphasized: "The refinement process of the Wealth Fortune Pill is quite complex; we must carry out the operation patiently and meticulously to ensure success."

The two Demonic Path cultivators nodded in understanding and promised to come for the medicine after ten days.

They knew that, although working with orthodox cultivators carried some risk, this was their only chance to obtain the Wealth Fortune Pill.

Ten days later, the Demonic Path cultivators arrived on time at the Thunder Elixir Hall.

Lu Yuan personally handed the refined Wealth Fortune Pill to them.

During these ten days, the distance between Lu Yuan and the two demonic path cultivators seemed to have narrowed considerably.

Although the demonic path cultivators' conduct differs completely from that of the orthodox path cultivators, their mastery of cultivation techniques and immortal arts is equally profound.

"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, in these ten days we have gained a new understanding of your Thunderbolt Pill Hall."

The man smiled and said, "Thank you for all you have done for us."

Lu Yuan gently shook his head: "The demonic path cultivators have merely delved within the limits; they are not entirely unreasonable."

The woman tightly grasped the man's hand, tears swirling in her eyes: "We will complete this task as soon as possible and return to the orthodox path."

Lu Yuan nodded, indicating that the two demonic path cultivators should leave.

Before departing, they earnestly reminded once more: "If you use the Wealth Fortune Pill, be sure to handle it with caution."

The demonic path cultivators smiled, expressed their gratitude, and decided to follow Lu Yuan's advice.

Watching their receding backs, Lu Yuan let out a sigh.

He understood that cultivation is not a matter of black and white; the boundary lies deep within the heart.

As their fading backs grew more distant, Lu Yuan returned to the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

He sat quietly in meditation at the center of the hall, contemplating the upcoming matters. (End of chapter)
