Chapter 4856: Alchemy
ed, and a ray of light struck the flying sword. In the blink of an eye, the sword was taken back into the box. Lu Xiaoxiao moved his divine sense once more, and the flying sword was ejected once again...Uh! Lu Xia Tian felt a sharp pain in his brain, and hurriedly retracted his divine sense acting on the storage bag.
Lu Xia Tian looked at the black storage bag with suspicion. Logically, the black robed elder should have been obliterated by him, his soul destroyed. Opening this storage bag shouldn't be a problem, but when he tried to use his divine sense to open it, he was still met with a cold and venomous spiritual attack that clung to the bag like a poisonous snake.

Perhaps the old man in black still held some unsolved secrets, but now that he was gone, those secrets would likely remain hidden forever.
It's a pity about that golden flying sword. Lu Xia Tian smacked his lips, but he was satisfied with today's battle nonetheless.

At this time, the black-robed old man had already taken it off. He could now reasonably utilize the mysterious space within his body. Besides leaving an empty storage pouch on him for show, all the other spiritual objects were sent into the barrier.
After doing all that, Lu Xia Tian rested his chin, previously he was only at the second level of Qi Refining. Even with a plentiful supply of pills, it would take several years to cultivate to the fifth level.
However, he is now at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. The in his hand can only be cultivated to the middle stage of Qi Refinement, so obtaining a cultivation method for the late stage of Qi Refinement is urgent.

A late-stage cultivation technique usually costs around forty low-grade spirit stones in the shop. Ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators, relying on their daily income, could barely afford a late-stage Qi Refinement technique. Like Luò Yuǎn, he even had a certain debt. Now he only had eight low-grade spirit stones, and the only things he could sell were over ten Yuanqi Pills. Although it was a fortune, it would easily attract the attention of some late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators, or even those who had reached the peak of Qi Refinement. This would be extremely detrimental to his future adventures in the望月 Mountains and collecting the spiritual objects needed to join the sect. Moreover, he still needed to collect recipes for Qi Refinement mid-stage and late-stage pills, which required a large sum of spirit stones.

Going out to find work, a month's worth of Spirit Stones after deducting all expenses and those used for cultivation, it is estimated that it would take a considerable amount of time to gather. This will inevitably affect cultivation.
However, Lu Xia Tian thought that in Wang Yue City, there were workshops and businesses offering good prices for those who could refine weapons, raise spirit beasts, refine pills, cultivate low-grade spiritual herbs, or make talismans.
There were still a dozen or so purple spirit grasses growing inside the barrier, and they could regenerate. They could be used to refine Gathering Qi Pills. Lu Xia Tian thought about it and decided to start with alchemy.
Cultivators spend a great deal on pills. Even if the effect of Qi Gathering Pills is not as good now, it's better than nothing to meet their own needs. Moreover, as a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining and an intermediate alchemist, selling Qi Gathering Pills wouldn't attract too much attention.

Having figured this out, Lu Xia Tian went out again, buying up all the other medicinal herbs needed for refining Qi Gathering Pills. He also purchased a batch of charcoal. Besides Zi Ling Grass, these auxiliary materials weren't expensive. Together they only cost two low-grade spirit stones.
Activated charcoal is made by burning low-grade spirit wood. During alchemy, cultivators can also directly condense the essence within their body into a spiritual fire to refine pills. However, this method consumes too much vital energy. Once the cultivator's dantian (energy center) runs out of energy, the heat control will falter, and the pills are likely to become useless.
After preparing the materials, Lu XiaTian hesitated and glanced around the room. The room was too small and not suitable for alchemy. But besides this room, he had no other place to use.
...he couldn't worry about that now. He would refine it first and then talk about it. Thinking this, Lu Xiaoteng made up his mind.
Taking out the pill furnace he had bought from Luò Qīng before, it was decorated with alternating purple and yellow stripes, a unique pattern of Purple Xuan Copper. When touching it with his hands, there was a cold sensation. Three curved legs supported the small tripod on the ground. Lú Xiǎotiān had already memorized the recipe for Gathering Qi Pills, so he started by building a fire according to the steps. The burning temperature of the spiritual wood charcoal was very high, quickly heating the tripod until it glowed red. Following the steps, Lú Xiǎotiān first added several auxiliary ingredients one after another, reducing the amount of charcoal used. When a subtle fragrance came from the small hole in the lid of the tripod, Lú Xiǎotiān took out a sprig of Zi Ling Grass and threw it in.
After a while, a strange fragrance rose from within the cauldron. Lu Xia Tian's spirits lifted; it smelled exactly like the Gathering Qi Pills. However, according to the formula, this was only the moment when the Purple Spirit Grass in the furnace turned into juice. The timing for opening the furnace had to be precise. If it was opened too early, the pill would not form, and its medicinal properties would dissipate. The refined elixir's potency would be greatly reduced. If it was opened too late, after a short time, there was an 80% chance that the elixir would become a waste product.
Suddenly, the fragrance of medicine inside the small cauldron ceased abruptly. A pungent, musty odor arose.
Oh no, I was so focused on the time it takes to refine the elixir that I forgot to control the heat. The fire was too intense, the temperature inside the cauldron was too high, and I ended up burning the unformed elixir liquid.
Bang bang....
The door was slammed forcefully. "Open the door, open the door! What are you doing in there"
"This smell is like that of failed alchemy."

"It's naive to refine pills in such a confined space. There's no way to avoid producing duds."
Several Qi Refining Stage cultivators staying at the inn gossiped about it with scorn and ridicule.
"Ahem...."
Here's the translation of your provided text:

Lu Xiaoteng opened the door, a smell of mildew, and the high heat from burning spiritwood charcoal made the innkeeper cough violently, his face red with distress. It took him a while to catch his breath before he could see Lu Xiaoteng's appearance clearly. He then loudly accused, "This inn is for people to live in, not a place for reckless behavior! What did you do in there If you burn the whole inn down, can you afford it"
"Get out! Our inn does not welcome you, and you are never allowed to come back here again!"
The commotion in the inn soon alerted the manager. Given Lu Xiaoteng's negative influence, even nearly burning down the inn, the manager angrily chased Lu Xiaoteng out. He only refrained from saying "get out" because Lu Xiaoteng was already a Qi Refinement mid-stage cultivator. But the meaning behind his words was pretty much the same.

Lu Xia Tian put away his alchemy furnace, shambling out of the inn. He glared at it resentfully, thinking to himself, "What's so great about you anyway I didn't even burn the whole place down."
"Just an ordinary wandering cultivator, wanting to become an alchemist That's reaching too high." Some other cultivators on the roadside also saw the smoke coming from the inn and, after learning the reason, shook their heads and left.
"Hey, isn't this Lu Ge"
A familiar voice rang out from the crowd. Lu Xia Tian turned to look and saw the Luo siblings walking towards him.
"Lu Xiong, what's going on This shopkeeper is being unreasonable. I'm going to argue with him!" Luo Yuan said righteously. But soon Luo Yuan reacted and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Xiong, what about your cultivation"
"I was wrong to do that." Lu Xia Tian awkwardly grabbed Luo Yuan's arm. Seeing his shocked expression, he explained, "I used some underhanded tactics before, and this is my true cultivation level now."

Then Lu Xia Tian briefly explained the inn’s situation.
"I see. So Lu Ge doesn't have a place to go now. Why not move in with us We can all live together." Luo Qing said enthusiastically after hearing this.
“To be with you all,” Lu Xia Tian was taken aback.
"That's how it is," Luo Qing continued.
It turned out that finding a place to rent in Wangyue City was quite troublesome, and renting a single room at an inn was very expensive. So, I shared a small courtyard with several good friends of mine. We rented four rooms together for only ten spirit stones a month. The space was larger than an inn, with a small courtyard. One friend had entered the Wangyue Mountains last time and unfortunately met his demise, leaving one room vacant. Although the price was slightly higher than staying at an inn, it was more comfortable and less crowded than staying in a bustling inn.
Lu Xia Tian was a bit tempted, but after some thought, he still felt it was inappropriate. He had some secrets on his person that he didn't want outsiders to know. Even raising the shadow ants was like this, so as to be able to surprise enemies at critical moments. He pondered for a moment in his heart, and there were still quite a few talismans in his hand. Selling some of them would be enough to solve the current spirit stone crisis. So he refused, "No, I still have some spirit stones on hand, I want to rent a small courtyard alone."
"To rent a courtyard all by himself, Brother Lu is truly generous. I happen to know of a courtyard not far from us, Brother Lu could go take a look if you're interested." Luo Qing gave a playful smack of her tongue, then continued.
In Wangyue City, usually only high-income alchemists, weapon smiths, or those in the later stages of the Qi Refining period and at the peak state would rent a courtyard individually. Even many late-stage Qi Refiners lived with others to share the cost.
“Then, thank you.” Lu Xia Tian stopped refusing. It would take him a lot of effort to find it on his own.
After several hours, Lu Xia Tian moved into the new courtyard. It had three fewer rooms than Luo Yuan's siblings', but it only cost seven spirit stones a month. This was enough for him.

After a period of not keeping shadow ants, Lu Xiaotian took out the jade pool and sprinkled dozens of beast spirit pills. He brought the shadow ants from the jade gourd. The shadow ants were in a dormant state in the jade gourd, but they hadn't eaten for a long time.
The awakened shadow ants were frantically feeding, some even tearing at each other because they ate the same beast spirit pill while eating. It seemed they were starving. Lu Xia Tian hurriedly separated the biting shadow ants.
After feeding the Shadow Ants, Lu Xiaotian took out the leopard from his Spirit Beast pouch.
This is the end of a paragraph.
"Awoo... " The leopard had been cramped in the spirit beast pouch for too long and let out a complaint as soon as it came out. Then, it obediently rubbed its head against Lu Xiaoteng's pant leg.
"Alright, go play around. Don't leave the yard." Lu XiaTian patted the leopard's head, letting it move freely. The leopard wasn't much help to him now, but back when he was weak, if not for the leopard, he'd probably be a pile of bones by now. So even though it was just lounging around, he wouldn't sell it like some other cultivators did with their useless spirit beasts.

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly sat up from the bed. He wanted to see...
He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion and bewilderment, a multitude of emotions surged within me.

Then, Shi Yu unconsciously observed his surroundings, and became even more bewildered.

A single-person dormitory
Even if he successfully got rescued, he should be in the hospital now.
...and his own body... how could there be no injuries at all.
With a hint of doubt, Shiyu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror on the bedside table.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was very handsome.

This change left Shiyu dumbfounded for a long time.
Don't tell him the surgery was a success...
His body and appearance have completely changed. This isn't just a matter of surgery or no surgery, it's something supernatural.
He had completely transformed into a different person!
Could it be... that I have traveled through time
Besides the mirror at the head of the bed which was obviously in a bad feng shui position, Shi Yu also found three books beside it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly made him silent.

《Postpartum Care for Pets》

Shi Yu:
The first two book titles are normal, but what's with the last one
"Cough."
Shi Yu's eyes narrowed, and he reached out his hand, but soon his arm stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly throbbed with pain, and a flood of memories surged into him.
