Nine Samsara Cauldron

Su Ziyan had to learn from her mistakes and waste three portions of Qi Condensation Pill's ingredients before she managed to master the heat of refining these three herbs.

The next step was to fuse the refined medicinal ingredients. This was the most important step, and also the most difficult step.

Su Ziyan was only at the fifth stage of Qi Refinement, the immortal qi stored in her dantian was unable to support refining pills for a long time.

Only by learning from the experiences of countless failures can one maintain a spirit of self-abnegation.

No matter how hard Su Ziyan tried to focus her mind and consume countless of consciousness, her first attempt at fusion had still failed. She hadn't even touched the edge of fusion before the three medicinal herbs crashed into each other and turned into a puddle of water.

There were still six more ingredients remaining, Su Ziyan once again grabbed the ingredients and threw them into the pill furnace.

Failed, failed, failed...

Su Ziyan gradually became impatient and eager to win, constantly changing the size of her flames.

After throwing the last portion of the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace, Su Ziyan's eyes were dyed red by the blazing flames, as large amounts of flames sprayed out from her hands.

With a loud bang, the medicinal materials within the pill furnace exploded, and billowing black smoke began to seep out from the furnace.

The black smoke caused Su Ziyan to tear up, and not long later, her white and tender face turned black.

"How can this be? Ten batches of ingredients have all failed, but I actually haven't even managed to refine a single batch. " Su Ziyan looked at this scene in disbelief.

Her desire to become rich had been shattered. She had never thought that this would be the result. She had thought that she would be able to refine a batch no matter how poor she was.

Furthermore, Qi Condensation Pill s were the simplest tier one medicinal pellets, they were already so hard to refine, let alone the other pellets.

It was no wonder that even Su Hanxue, the daughter of the Heaven's Pride of the Su Clan could only eat two of these per month.

However, Su Ziyan had never eaten a Qi Condensation Pill before, and even never looked at one.

This time, for the first time ever, Liu Shang did not attack her. Instead, he walked over to her side and helped her wipe the black smoke off her face.

"Refining medicinal herbs is a long and arduous process, the failures and risks involved are numerous. I once knew a danshen of the fifth step who risked her life to refine a heaven defying pill. Otherwise, the danshen would not have become the supreme existence of the Immortal Cultivation World. "

Su Ziyan slowly walked out of the shadow of failure and said absentmindedly.

"It's nothing if I fail, but I don't have any more Spirit Stones to buy any more medicinal ingredients for."

Having no money was a huge matter. Su Ziyan only had a few spirit stones on him, she did not have any spirit stones to buy the next batch of ingredients.

Liu Shang sighed and said: "danshen is also an industry that burns money. With your financial strength, you can't even nurture a danshen. Otherwise, you wouldn't eat this kind of herb dregs called Qing Jing Wan every day. But the fact that the Su Clan is willing to give medicinal pellets to disciples every day is also a waste of money. "

A family's resources were limited. The Xun Yang City was, after all, just a small and weak existence in thousands upon thousands of cultivation cities.

If you want to become a danshen Inherent skill, it is essential. If you do not have a strong resource to support you, talent is useless no matter what.

"What should I do?" Su Ziyan suddenly became confused.

The path to Immortality was uncertain, and his own latent talent was poor. There was no sign that he would ever be able to succeed.

"That depends on your choice." Liu Shang's eyes were filled with seriousness like never before.

"From then on, he would never be able to recover. He would become an ordinary person, and after living in peace for a long time, he would eventually die of white hair." No matter how many times he failed, he would always rise from the ground and challenge the next failure. One had to know that you might fail countless times, and not even a sliver of hope could be seen. How do you choose? Continue or give up. "

Su Ziyan looked into Liu Shang's eyes, his face revealing a calm smile.

"Uncle, you don't have to use this language to test me, I won't give up. Ever since I started on the path of seeking immortality, I had already made up my mind to fail. This little failure will not make me cower. "

Liu Shang nodded his head in satisfaction and said: "Actually, your failure has something to do with this pill furnace. A high levelled pill furnace can increase the chances of reaching Core Formation, but this pill furnace is too weak, it is unable to help you at all."

However, Su Ziyan did not have spirit stones to buy high grade pill furnaces, so she could only use this furnace to make the necessary preparations.

"Uncle, do you know of any simpler formulas?" For example, the Qing Jing Wan I normally eat should be easier to refine. "

Liu Shang looked at her helplessly: "I only remember the single recipe for this kind of pill. I don't remember having thousands upon thousands of different types of pills. As for the rest, you need to buy them yourself. "

"AHH!" "Uncle, you're so useless." Su Ziyan kept complaining.

These words caused Liu Shang to be so angry that he jumped up and down, "I am a sword cultivator, not a danshen. No one would dare to call themselves second in Tian Yuan Continent if I were to claim that I am first in sword arts. "

"Stop bragging." Su Ziyan would not easily believe this Uncle who loved to lie.

exited the cave as the faint sunlight shone in from the cave entrance. The golden sunlight leapt out from the mountains and blended a layer of gold onto the ground. A new day had come.

After a night of hard work concocting pills, Su Ziyan was already exhausted, but she did not put such a small matter in her heart.

What she cared about the most was the fact that she had used up all her spirit stones and was unable to purchase the ingredients needed for the next pill refinement.

What if he didn't have money? Of course, he could only borrow money. Su Ziyan thought that of all the people he knew in the Su Clan, the richest was Su Tianlan.

He could only ask to borrow money from him. Although it was difficult to ask for money from him, he could just exchange it for the pill after it was sold. At most, he could just give him some interest.

After casually washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Su Ziyan hurried over to the Starlight Tree to cultivate.

After the morning practice, Su Ziyan told Su Tianlan what she had in mind.

Su Tianlan looked at her in shock and asked: "How many spirit stones do you need?"

Su Ziyan extended a finger.

"Ten spirit stones, that's no problem." Su Tianlan waved her hands, indicating that she was being petty.

Su Ziyan said embarrassedly: "It's a Soulstone."

"A Soulstone?" Su Tianlan thought she heard wrongly and asked again to get a definite answer.

With bloodshot eyes, he said, "Why don't you just rob them? Where would I be able to take out so many spirit stones? You should still borrow them from outside."

"Don't go, don't go." Su Ziyan stopped Su Tianlan who wanted to quickly leave, "I know you have the best way. Big brother Tian Ling, please help me."

"You should be more normal. Why do you need so many spirit stones for?"

"In order to defeat Su Fengwu by the end of the year, I need to increase my cultivation as soon as possible. The quickest way to increase my cultivation is to swallow the pills. That's why I wanted to borrow some spirit stones from you. "

"Tianbi gege, you know you definitely have it, so just lend it to Zi Yan." Su Ziyan continued to display her flirting skills. Liu Shang, who was at the side, couldn't help but cover his ears.

Su Ziyan's guess was right, Su Tianlan was the richest brother and sister out of all of them.

Although he received Spirit Stones similar to his other siblings, he had one of the strongest mother in the Su Clan, and his mother gave him many valuable things.

"I can lend it to you, but I won't lend it to you for nothing."

Truly a small fry, Su Ziyan thought to herself as her face revealed a warm and beautiful smile.

"Tianbi gege, no matter what you want, Zi Yan will do as you wish."

Su Tianlan resisted the urge to beat Su Ziyan up, "Borrowing one year, after one year, you have to pay me back one hundred and ten spirit stones. Write a contract that if you do not return your spirit stones when the time is up, you must pawn your things. "

"But I don't have anything of value."

Su Tianlan's eyes flickered, then pointed at the ring on Su Ziyan's hand, "When the time comes, use the ring on your finger as collateral?"

Liu Shang retreated a few steps, his hands crossed in front of his chest, as he looked at Su Ziyan with grief.

"Sure, deal." Su Ziyan sold Liu Shang without a word.

The documents were quickly drawn up, and written in black and white. It was impossible for Su Ziyan to deny it even if she wanted to.

After looking at the completed written proof, Su Tianlan felt relieved and took out a Soulstone from the storage bag and handed it over to Su Ziyan.

"You actually have a storage bag?" Su Ziyan looked at the storage bag in his hands in astonishment, and shouted unfairly.

"Nothing is unfair." Su Tianlan kept the storage bag, and a lonely look flashed past her eyes. It was fast enough to make Su Ziyan think that she was mistaken.

"I even envy you for being so carefree. You only need to do what you like. How great is that?"

Although Su Ziyan didn't understand why he would say this, she vaguely felt that he also had her own sorrowful thoughts.

Amongst all of his siblings, Su Tianlan was the most audacious. Normally, he did not listen to his master's teachings or practice hard, preferring to peek at beauties when he has nothing to do.

Actually, these things were nothing to a teenage boy, but since he was born in a cultivation clan, he had to embark on the path of cultivation.

Moreover, they continued to persist. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them. To them, even the tiniest mistake would be a big matter.

Although Su Tianlan's aptitude was not one in a million, it was at least better than Su Ziyan's by quite a bit. Since she was still in the Qi Disciple level 5 now, there were definitely many elders who would be dissatisfied.

"Tianbi gege, everyone has their own path to walk on. Since you can't change, then work hard to walk on your own path."
