第五卷 天云十二州 第一千三百五十章 艰难险阻

Three months later, Lin Xuan finally left the training room. His face was full of exhaustion.

Sure enough, the Azure Illusionary Fiery Phoenix had completely merged with the Ten Thousand Year Corpse Fire.

Although the process was slightly more complicated than he originally planned, it didn't go wrong and fully achieved his expected results.

Lin Xuan was very satisfied with this.

With a flick of his left hand, a ball of flame about the size of an egg appeared in his palm.

Compared to before, the color had become even deeper and greener, and there was a faint hint of deathly aura.

Having merged with the Ten Thousand Year Corpse Fire, this demonic flame not only carried corrosive properties and extreme toxicity but also an extremely cold nature. Although its attributes were different from those of the Cold Flame, it worked similarly.

After some hesitation, Lin Xuan reached out to strike a palm. A golden-orange immortal sword appeared in his hand.

Lin Xuan cast a spell on the sword, causing it to spin and dance mid-air with incredible agility.

Then, he flicked his right hand, and the Azure Illusionary Fiery Phoenix transformed into a snake about as thick as a thumb, which quickly pounced onto the immortal sword.

A grayish-white light flashed past. The sword was instantly encased in ice. This was undoubtedly the cold power of the Corpse Fire.

However, this wasn't over yet. The toxicity and corrosion began to take effect on the sword. After a day and night, the stone room emitted an acrid smell from the herbs.

"Ah!"

Lin Xuan sighed but his expression remained calm. After all, failure was not necessarily bad; he could still refine it using the Blue Star Sea.

Looking at the cauldron in front of him, Lin Xuan cast a spell and a rainbow glow appeared, forming an invisible green hand.

Opening the lid, the acrid smell became even stronger. Before his eyes appeared several dozen small pills about the size of dragon eyes, dark and unremarkable.

These were clearly the waste pills.

Lin Xuan took one in front of him, examined it carefully, then sat cross-legged and used inner vision to start refining the Blue Star Sea...

Moon came over as well, but she looked relaxed. She was just waiting for Lord Lin to refine the spirit pill so they could advance to the Transcendence Realm.

However, some things were beyond their control.

An hour passed.

Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and a loud 'bang' echoed in his ears.

"Lord Lin, how is it? Have you refined it?"

"No, failed," Lin Xuan shook his head solemnly.

"What, failed?" Moon's small mouth gaped open, though she still looked beautiful.

It was indeed surprising for her to see this failure; the Blue Star Sea had almost always succeeded in refining herbs without fail.

Lin Xuan's expression was equally grim. Apart from not being familiar with the Blue Star Sea just now, he had never failed before.

This was indeed unexpected.

Which step went wrong?

After some thought, Lin Xuan used inner vision.

In his dantian and qi sea, everything was in order.

He didn't need to worry about the元婴 energy for now. The volume of the Blue Star Sea remained vast, meaning it wasn't a lack of support from the Blue Star Sea that caused this failure. So where did the problem lie?

Lin Xuan retracted his spell and supported his chin as he began to ponder.

Recalling the process, everything went smoothly at first. But when the light point entered the Blue Star Sea, it seemed difficult to separate the impurities.

What should be done now?

Lin Xuan frowned deeply and picked up another waste pill.

He had never encountered this situation before; could it be that higher-grade pills were harder to refine?

Although just a guess, it was enough to make Lin Xuan frown. The Hundred-Flower Pill was one thing, but without it, he might struggle to advance to the Transcendence Realm even if he succeeded.

Even if he did succeed, it would take several hundred years more.

But this wasn't the most serious issue. Even if he advanced, wouldn't the pills in the Spirit Realm be even higher grade? How could he refine them then?

As the saying goes, those who fail to plan for the future will face immediate problems. With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan's expression became grim.

Reliant on the Blue Star Sea to clear his path, he had advanced this far. Without it, how far could he go? Lin Xuan was uncertain and worried.
