This year's Dragon Soul Continent, for some reason, has particularly abundant rain and snow.

The heavy snow had just stopped for the day, and it started falling again last night.

People who had slept all night opened their eyes, opened the door, and saw the snow-covered outside.

The palace has already started to get busy.

The servants started cleaning the palace early. The surrounding iron trees and silver flowers completely changed the appearance of the palace.[

In the past few days, there was always a lot of traffic outside the palace, and there was an endless stream of officials coming to visit Liu Xia.

It's a pity that Liu Xia didn't open the door to meet guests, so these people could only go back disappointed.

At this moment, Liu Xia had not rested for two days and two nights.

His room was filled with smoke and had a faint aroma of herbs.

Liu Xia, who was sitting among a pile of herbs, had reddish eyes and a haggard face.

At this moment, the fire in the alchemy furnace was so strong that it distorted the surrounding air.

After a while, Liu Xia stopped what he was doing and completed the three pills.

After taking out the elixir and putting it into a medicine bottle, Liu Xia grabbed the teapot next to her and took two sips.

Slightly tired, he leaned against the pillar behind him.

"The fifth-level elixir is always considered complete."

Liu Xia secretly thought.

"Boy, next is the sixth-level elixir. Although the sixth-level elixir is only one level higher than the fifth-level elixir, the difficulty has increased several times. Now you can be regarded as a veritable great Onmyoji.

As long as you get over the sixth level, it will be much easier in the future."

Ao Cangqiong smiled lightly.

"I'll try my best."

After saying this, Liu Xia closed her eyes and rested her mind for a while.

Then, he sat up and continued to refine the elixir.

The number of materials required for a top-grade fifth-level elixir has exceeded three hundred.

As for sixth-level elixirs, even the lowest level sixth-level elixirs, the number of materials alone already exceeds four hundred.

More than 400 kinds of materials are piled together, and the pile is higher than a hill.[

However, Liu Xia was not a frog in the well. Having seen Ao Cangqiong's generosity when he was refining elixirs, Liu Xia knew that he still had a long way to go.

During the preparation stage, Liu Xia began to classify all the materials.

This stage of smelting materials is not very difficult, but it does take a little more time.

For sixth-level elixirs, the most difficult is the elixir-melting stage.

There are more than 400 kinds of materials, and in just one breath, you need to find a suitable force. This is impossible to do without rich experience.

How many people are stuck at this step? Each sixth-level elixir is enough for an Onmyoji to figure out for many years.

However, this kind of control of spiritual power is something that can only be understood and transmitted through Dharma.

Therefore, even though there are so many outstanding onmyojis on the Dragon Soul Continent, they cannot pass down their experience of melting pills.

Only you can understand that feeling, even if you say it, no one else can understand it.

In less than half an hour, Liu Xia had divided all the materials.

Since there are so many materials, detailed planning is required in advance.

Otherwise, the most difficult things to smelt are put together, which will increase the time and difficulty of refining the elixir, and also increase the risk.

When everything was ready, Liu Xia calmed down and began to enter the smelting stage.

Most of the material here is very unfamiliar to Liu Xia, so it seems a bit unfamiliar.

Slowly, Liu Xia's body was surrounded by hundreds of materials.

At this moment, Liu Xia felt firsthand the fatal side of high-level elixirs.

Controlling so many materials at once consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

If he hadn't possessed the Demonic Heart Sutra, it would have been really difficult to do it.

No wonder Onmyoji who are not at the Grandmaster level can only stay at the fifth level.

If you want to break through to the sixth level, you don't have the foundation of a master's cultivation to support such a huge loss of spiritual energy.

Two hours passed before and after, and all the materials had been smelted.

At this moment, the material solution shining with various lights is suspended around Liu Xia's body.[

Generally, an Onmyoji needs to prepare hundreds of light elixir furnaces at this stage.

Because the meridians in Liu Xia's body are different from those of ordinary people, he was able to do this.

Next, comes the most critical moment.

Liu Xia took a deep breath and started pouring the ingredients into the alchemy furnace one by one.

Every time he fuses a material, Liu Xia needs to find the appropriate spiritual power for this new fusion in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, Liu Xia has not been an Onmyoji for a long time, but the amount of pills he refines is very large.

Of course, the main reason was that Liu Xia had no money and needed to sell the pills he was looking for to pay for the materials.

As time passed by, more than 200 kinds of materials were fused in the alchemy furnace.

Liu Xia's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Ao Cangqiong, who had been observing Liu Xia, nodded silently.

This boy's perseverance and talent are indeed very rare.

As time passed, the number of materials for the alchemy furnace increased, and Liu Xia became very weak.

Such elixirs consume too much spiritual energy, no less than a big battle.

At this time, Liu Xia did something that Ao Cangqiong could not have imagined.

Suddenly, Liu Xia began to use alien spiritual power to pour into the alchemy furnace.

Ao Cangqiong was stunned for a moment. The power of the alien spiritual power was so powerful that even he would be very cautious when using the alien spiritual power to make elixirs.

Liu Xia is a novice using alien spiritual power. If there is any slight mistake, everything he did before will be in vain.

Without Ao Cangqiong speaking, the fire in the alchemy furnace suddenly rose, and the overflowing spiritual power immediately spread in the room.

What Ao Cangqiong didn't expect was that Liu Xia actually succeeded using alien spiritual power!

In this way, melting pills becomes much easier.

In the next half hour, all the materials were put into the alchemy furnace, and this difficult step was successfully overcome.

Later, the toxins of the elixir began to be proposed, and the elixir-forming stage began.

It took more than five hours to create an elixir. Finally, when the fire in the elixir furnace went out, Liu Xia leaned against the pillar tiredly.

"Boy, good job. As long as you have one successful experience, it will be very easy in the future. Congratulations, you have entered the sixth level."

Ao Cangqiong said excitedly.

"Thank you, senior."

Liu Xia struggled and took the elixir out of the elixir furnace. The elixir, which was still warm, rolled into the palm of Liu Xia's hand.

Liu Xia herself felt very pleased.

After resting for a while, Liu Xia began to continue refining.

The amount of this kind of elixir required is huge. It seems that the journey from master level to master level is only one step away, but this is actually a huge gap.

The snow outside is still falling again, and there is a lot of noise.

The prince stood in the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, looking at the plum blossoms covered with falling snow in the distance, lost in thought.

As a prince, from the day he was canonized by the emperor, he knew that in the following years, every step would be like walking on thin ice.

Everyone in the palace was busy with his affairs every day.

Everything he did seemed trivial, but it was all for laying the foundation for the future throne.

In these years in Longdu, he has killed many enemies.

But this one made him feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Naturally, the source of the crisis is Liu Xia.

Among the princes, the prince was only very afraid of the second prince.

The third prince is a martial artist, although he is somewhat clever. Unfortunately, his mother was born as an ordinary palace maid, so he has no background.

Therefore, his threat is minimal.
