755. Chapter 753: Preparing to Refine Dew Star Pill
The scenery before his eyes shifted, and Lu Yuan suddenly realized he was in a square.
The square was paved with marble, its edges surrounded by exquisite carved railings.
People moved through it, chatting and laughing in the sunlight.
Adding the splendid and eye‑catching Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion Branch at the center of the square, the overall atmosphere became especially joyous and harmonious.
Lu Yuan immersed himself in this beautiful scenery, a feeling of joy welling up in his heart; such a cultivation city was exactly the paradise he had long dreamed of.
However, he knew he had not come to Qingyang Cheng merely to admire the scenery.
Spirit stones were what he cared about most.
The spirit stones provided by the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion Branch were irreplaceable cultivation resources for cultivators, and Lu Yuan had to rely on them to pursue great power.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's face showed determination; he had already set his goal in mind.
Upon entering Qingyang Cheng, Lu Yuan paid a certain amount of spirit stones as the entry fee and obtained a three‑day temporary entry permit.
He hired a guide named Ming Anli, who was actually an outer‑circle member of the Lei Huo Dan Ge, responsible for guiding outsiders and gathering information.
After finishing his purchases at the medicine shop, Lu Yuan intended to find a suitable shop to sell the Dew Star Pill he had refined.
Ming Anli suggested he stay temporarily in his simple but clean dwelling, needing only a small amount of spirit stones each day.
"Brother Ming Anli, thank you very much for your help and guidance."
Lu Yuan looked at Ming Anli and smiled slightly.
Ming Anli's face showed a sincere smile.
"Don't be polite, Brother Lu."
"Our Lei Huo Dan Ge exists mainly to serve cultivators; being able to help cultivators is our honor."
"You came to me for a guide, and it's because I know Qingyang Cheng well, right?"
He asked.
Lu Yuan nodded.
"That's right; this is my first time in Qingyang Cheng, I'm unfamiliar with the situation, and I need a guide who knows the place."
"I've heard you've wandered outside the city for many years, so you must know this city very well, right?"
Ming Anli laughed proudly.
"That's right!"
"I previously trained at the Lei Huo Dan Ge for a period, then went out for tempering, and just happened to pass through Qingyang Cheng."
"Here the environment is beautiful, resources abundant, and it enjoys a good reputation among cultivators."
"Although it's just a small city, there are not a few treasures hidden within it!"
Hearing the two words "treasure," Lu Yuan's eyes flickered.
"Treasure?"
"Can you tell me what treasures there are?"
Ming Anli laughed.
"Of course I can tell you a few little secrets!"
"For example, there is an ancient cave dwelling at the foot of the mountain, rumored to hide a secret manual of an immortal's cultivation method."
"If one finds the cave dwelling and passes its trial, there is a chance to obtain those precious arts."
"However, this cave dwelling has never been found, and it's unknown whether the rumor is true."
Listening to Ming Anli's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.
"An immortal's secret manual of cultivation?"
"If I could obtain it, it would be of great help to my cultivation."
"Brother Ming Anli, thank you for telling me this news!"
Ming Anli waved his hand: "It's just a rumor, not certain whether it's true or false."
"Brother Lu, if you ever get the chance to find that cave dwelling, please be sure to share your gains with me."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
"No problem; I'll try my best to find it and let you know the result after I try."
"After all, you've given me such important information!"
Lu Yuan agreed to Ming Anli's suggestion, his heart full of longing for the treasures of Qingyang Cheng.
He left Ming Anli's dwelling and went to the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion Branch to buy the necessary alchemical materials.
Inside the shop, Lu Yuan met an enthusiastic fellow cultivator named Hua Rong.
She appeared before Lu Yuan holding a manual of alchemy.
"Are you looking for alchemical materials?" Hua Rong asked with a smile.
Lu Yuan blinked slightly, then nodded in reply.
"That's right; I'm currently preparing to refine Dew Star Pill."
A flash of excitement crossed Hua Rong's eyes.
"I'm also an enthusiast!"
"If you're willing, we can exchange knowledge and learn from each other."
A sense of gratitude welled up in Lu Yuan's heart.
"Of course I'm willing!"
"I've heard you have an alchemy manual?"
He inquired.
Hua Rong's smile became even more brilliant.
"That's right!"
"I found this secret manual after searching for several days in the antique book market."
The two began discussing the myriad mysteries of alchemy, exchanging insights and experiences.
Hua Rong, skilled in wood-attribute immortal arts, had unique insights into the refinement of Dew Star Pill, from which Lu Yuan greatly benefited.
After purchasing the alchemy materials, Lu Yuan set up a simple alchemy formation at Ming Anli's home.
He took out those materials and, following the steps in the secret manual, began to craft Dew Star Pill.
However, unlike usual, Lu Yuan found his mind not focused enough.
The external environment seemed to have become somewhat eerie, making it difficult for him to fully concentrate on the refinement process.
He took a deep breath, attempting to adjust his state.
After several attempts, Lu Yuan finally regained calm and focus.
He circulated his immortal arts, coordinating with the formation layout, and poured the spiritual herbs, spiritual fire, and other necessary materials into the furnace.
As time passed, the aroma spread, filling the entire room with a rich medicinal fragrance.
After an hour of refinement, Lu Yuan finally saw the results.
He opened the furnace lid, inside lay Dew Star Pills emitting a faint blue light.
These Dew Star Pills were of excellent quality and vivid color, not ordinary products.
"Although the quantity didn't meet expectations, the quality of these pills is quite good."
Lu Yuan muttered to himself, satisfied.
Although the quantity wasn't large enough, these Dew Star Pills were sufficient to compensate for this loss and leave some surplus.
He carefully placed them into medicine bottles, preparing to sell them.
After leaving Ming Anli's residence, Lu Yuan walked straight into a medicine shop.
The shop was filled with various medicines, refining equipment, and treasures; the exquisite display made Lu Yuan feel very comfortable.
His gaze swept over the Dew Star Pills displayed on the counter, and his anticipation gradually rose.
"Excuse me, do you have Dew Star Pills?"
Lu Yuan asked politely.
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man; upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, he gave a slight smile.
"We do have Dew Star Pills, but only in limited supply."
Lu Yuan was not surprised, after all Dew Star Pill is an extremely rare and precious immortal pill.
He continued to ask: "Could you tell me how to purchase it?"
The shopkeeper nodded.
"If you are willing to pay a deposit for an advance reservation, I can hold a few for you."
Just as Lu Yuan was about to agree, a young woman entered the shop.
She lowered her head to cover her face, appearing cautious as she brushed past other customers.
Despite that, her interest in Dew Star Pills was clearly evident.
Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to the woman, continuing his conversation with the shopkeeper.
However, the woman walked over to the Dew Star Pills and stared at them intently. (End of chapter)
