Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 136 Alchemy

"call--"

A long exhalation sounded, and Li Zhi let out the breath he had been holding for a long time, as if relieved from a heavy burden.

He slowly raised his slightly sore hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This is the fourth batch of pills he has refined.

As expected, the first three furnaces of pills were ruined, and Li Zhi had wasted so many good ingredients. After all, the bone marrow of a water dragon alone was extremely rare, not to mention other herbs and the like, which were all picked and collected by Li Zhi with great effort along the way.

But there was no way around it. Li Zhi had long known that the chance of success in refining the elixir was only 10%. So, apart from feeling sorry for the materials he had spent a lot of effort to collect, he was not discouraged at all.

Now that the fourth batch of pills had been refined, Li Zhi did not hesitate and slowly opened the furnace.

A warm breath blew towards him. Li Zhi subconsciously fanned himself with his hand, then quickly looked into the alchemy furnace.

I saw three purple-red pills lying quietly in it, with rich color and attractive luster.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up instantly when he saw this. Just by looking at the color and luster, he knew that the elixir must have been successful this time.

Carefully taking out the three pills, Li Zhi placed the three pills side by side in the palm of his hand and observed them carefully.

Seeing that the three pills were almost the same in gloss and color, Li Zhi reached out and picked up one of them, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently. The smell of the pill was not strong, but a faint scent lingered at the tip of his nose.

He couldn't help but reveal joy on his face. Although the smell of this pill was not strong, it was very pure.

Li Zhi knew that this was a manifestation of the high quality of the elixir, because the medicinal properties of the elixir had been tightly locked inside the elixir, so not much of the medicinal properties leaked out.

The quality of elixirs is identified in this way.

If the medicinal properties are strong after the pill is made, it is of inferior quality. Because the pill cannot lock the medicinal properties firmly, it will cause the medicinal properties to leak out and emit strong medicinal properties. This kind of pill will not be used for long before the medicinal properties will evaporate and become a waste pill.

Li Zhi's mind moved, and he saw a huge centipede that was coiled on the upper beam crawling down from it.

This centipede looked ferocious, with scarlet eyes of all sizes all over its body. Each eye was rolling around and flashing a creepy light.

This is none other than the hundred-eyed insect that Li Zhi unsealed from the black sword. Before it was unsealed, this celestial demon had been fed and refined by Li Zhi using his own blood.

In addition, Li Zhi removed the seal that Master Liu had placed on it when it was just born, allowing the hundred-eyed insect to move like a living creature.

This made the hundred-eyed insect develop an extremely trusting and dependent relationship with Li Zhi. It can even be said that the hundred-eyed insect had already regarded Li Zhi as its real father in its heart.

Whenever Li Zhi gave an order, the Baimu Chong would carry it out without hesitation.

Seeing the ferocious Hundred-Eyed Insect rubbing his feet affectionately like a kitten or puppy, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, and then whispered, "Open your mouth."

Upon hearing this, the hundred-eyed insect immediately opened its terrifying big mouth. Looking at the big mouth full of sharp teeth, Li Zhi did not change and casually threw the purple-red pill in his hand into it.

The hundred-eyed insect chewed with its mouth, making a slight sound.

Li Zhi stood quietly by the side, observing the reaction of the hundred-eyed insect after eating the pill.

After confirming that the hundred-eyed insect had not undergone any abnormal changes, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this was the first time he had refined this pill, and he was not completely sure about its specific efficacy.

Therefore, he specially let the hundred-eyed insect try the taste first. If the pill really contained a strong poison, even if the hundred-eyed insect was a monster, Li Zhi would be able to observe it from it and avoid accidentally eating the poison pill.

Of course, this elixir is made from the bone marrow of water dragons, and it is also quite beneficial to the hundred-eyed worm. This is for its own good!

Li Zhi thought so without blushing or beating his heart.

After making sure that the pills were safe and non-toxic, Li Zhi picked up one of them and put it into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, a strange taste blossomed in Li Zhi's mouth. The taste was slightly bitter and a little sweet, which was hard to describe.

Li Zhi swallowed the pill without any hesitation.

Then, he quickly circulated the Qi in his body.

As the Qi flowed, Li Zhi could clearly feel the elixir beginning to release its medicinal properties under the wrapping of the Qi.

Strands of warm medicinal properties flowed out from the pill and slowly penetrated into every part of Li Zhi's body. Some damaged organs and meridians also slowly recovered under the influence of the medicine.

Li Zhi made a rough calculation in his mind and concluded that this pill could help him recover 20% of his injuries, and the remaining pill could probably help him recover about 15%.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi decided to refine more pills first, to at least recover his injuries to 70% or 80%. Only when his injuries were recovered to 70% or 80%, would Li Zhi have some power to protect himself.

So, Li Zhi began his life of alchemy.

 …

Just when Li Zhi was concentrating on refining the elixir.

Little did they know that a huge storm had already set off in the territory of Yong State.

Regardless of whether they were immortals or mortals, the entire Yong Kingdom was in chaos because of Li Zhi.

The news from Xiaoyao Mountain spread as quickly as a hurricane to every corner of Yongguo.

No one could ignore it, not only because it was an announcement made by Xiaoyao Mountain, but also because of the reward offered by Xiaoyao Mountain.

Anyone who captures or kills Li Zhi, no matter who he is, will be rewarded with a magic inheritance from Xiaoyao Mountain!

Spell!

Something that will impress everyone.

You know, magic has always been very scarce. If you can pass down a magic spell, you can be called an immortal family.

Practicing is not easy, and acquiring spells is even more difficult, because the spells of every immortal family are the most important things. The family can be destroyed, the immortal family can be disbanded, but the spells must never be leaked or lost.

Because as long as the magic is still there, both the family and the sect will have a chance to make a comeback.

Such an important and scarce thing can be obtained as long as Li Zhi is captured or killed. Who can control it?

Whether those who have already embarked on the path of spiritual practice or some ordinary people who have not yet embarked on the path of spiritual practice, this news has ignited the desire in their hearts.

Those who practice cultivation want to use this to acquire new spells to increase their strength.

The mortals who have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation hope that by capturing and killing Li Zhi and learning magic, they can embark on the path of cultivation in one fell swoop.

There are even some smart people who want to use this as a stepping stone to climb up Xiaoyao Mountain.

After all, Xiaoyao Mountain is one of the three major immortal gates of Yongguo. It is an existence that cannot be ignored by both practitioners and mortals!

As a result, countless people began to search for Li Zhi's whereabouts, and a thrilling manhunt that plunged the entire Yongguo into a frenzy began.
