Chapter 231: Difficulty in Breaking the Situation

With Zhan Nianchuan's current alchemy level, it is very simple to refine the elixir of the Qi Condensation Realm. After only five refinings, Zhan Nianchuan has successfully refined thirty-three Qi Condensation Pills, including four medium-grade pills.

Only one day has passed, Zhan Nianchuan's eyes flashed, and he directly took a medium-grade Qi Condensation Pill and began to practice.

He wanted to try whether there was a ban in the stone chamber that could monitor the situation in the room, otherwise he would not be able to carry out many actions. Although he had searched the entire stone chamber carefully and found nothing, it was better to be careful.

One day later, Zhan Nianchuan took the second medium-grade Qi Condensation Pill.

On the third day, Zhan Nianchuan took another medium-grade Qi Condensation Pill, and then deliberately ruined the other five refinings, so that he finally had thirty Qi Condensation Pills, including one medium-grade one.

Just after all this was prepared, the door of the stone chamber was opened, and the figure of a thin servant appeared at the door.

He placed a large pile of spiritual herbs in his hand on the stone platform, and then looked at Zhan Nianchuan indifferently, without any intention of speaking.

Zhan Nianchuan had no choice but to hand him a jade bottle, and then checked the quantity and quality of the spiritual herbs this time with an expressionless face.

The servant opened the jade bottle, his eyes lit up slightly, and he praised:

"Not bad, not bad, there is still a middle-grade pill. Your refining level is already very high among the newcomers. You can get some rewards. I can tell Lord Lu what you want."

Zhan Nianchuan pondered for a moment and asked:

"Can I go out for a stroll after completing the refining task? It's very stuffy here."

"Of course, based on your performance in this alchemy task, you can stay in the square outside for an hour. Are you sure you want to exchange for such a reward?"

"Sure."

The servant nodded, checked Zhan Nianchuan's storage bag, handed Zhan Nianchuan a green jade token, and solemnly reminded:

"Before this jade token turns white, you must return to the room, otherwise you will inevitably suffer from the pain of the thorn whip."

So when the servant left, Zhan Nianchuan also came outside wearing the jade token.

Soon, he heard the painful howling sound coming from the stone chamber next to him, which made people shudder.

"It seems that there are no restrictions in these stone chambers, otherwise the sound would not be heard, and I was not punished for wasting spiritual medicine like this." Zhan Nianchuan's mind turned, and he walked slowly to the square.

Warm sunlight shone through the light curtain above the square, shining on Zhan Nianchuan's face, making him feel warm and comfortable.

However, he did not intend to lie on the bench and doze off, but sat leisurely, actually secretly looking at the two guards who were sitting cross-legged and practicing at the door.

Compared with three days ago, the guard was changed, but according to the fluctuation of the breath, Zhan Nianchuan estimated that he was still in the early stage of foundation building. It seems that the strength of this Wanbao Pavilion should not be underestimated.

Standing up and swinging his body casually, Zhan Nianchuan looked at several nearby cultivators, and noticed the old man who was squinting and dozing next to him. He found that this guy's skin color was no different from that of a normal person, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This shows that the old man's alchemy level is extremely high, so he can come to this square so often, otherwise his skin color should be pale from not seeing the sun all year round.

After a moment's thought, he sent a voice message to greet the old man:

"Brother, I'm a newcomer here, and I have something to ask you."

The old man with gray hair and beard looked at Zhan Nianchuan in surprise, then closed his eyes and began to doze off.

"What do you want to ask? How to get out? Hehe! Every newcomer who comes in is like this, don't dream."

Zhan Nianchuan was shocked and immediately looked at the two guards at the door. He found that they did not react unusually, so he asked again:

"Brother, there are so many foundation-building cultivators in the alley on the left. Haven't you thought about rushing out together?"

The old man rolled his eyes and snorted coldly:

"Rush out? Naive, all the foundation-building cultivators here are not only poisoned by the blood-sucking insect, but also forced to take the breath-holding powder. Their magic power is sealed. How can they rush out? Rely on your mouth?"

Although the old man's mouth is very poisonous and his words are unpleasant, Zhan Nianchuan still got a lot of useful information and understood why these foundation-building cultivators did not rise up to resist.

But if he wants to successfully break out of the cage, he must rely on the power of these foundation-building cultivators.

So he moved his lips slightly and continued to ask in voice transmission:

"Brother, aren't they imprisoned to refine the second-level elixir for Wanbao Pavilion? If all their magic powers are sealed, how can they refine elixirs?"

"Hehe, idiot, their rooms have strong restrictions. As long as they leave the room, they must take the breath-holding powder, otherwise they are not allowed to leave the room for half a step." The white-bearded old man sneered.

Zhan Nianchuan nodded thoughtfully, feeling a little tricky, looked at the other side of the cultivators, and continued to ask in voice transmission:

"Does that mean that even if I beat them up, they can't fight back?"

"Hehe, you are right to say that, you can go and try." The white-bearded old man raised his mouth and laughed at Zhan Nianchuan's idea.

"Then the one among them with the highest cultivation level will be more exciting for me to beat."

The white-bearded old man looked at Zhan Nianchuan carefully, and seeing that he looked fearless, he was curious, so he pointed at the old man with a wretched face and a rat-beard opposite him:

"He is one of the two people with the highest cultivation here, and he is in the late stage of foundation building. Go and beat him up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Nianchuan strode towards the old man with rat whiskers opposite him.

Under the shocked gaze of the old man with white whiskers, Zhan Nianchuan walked up to the old man with rat whiskers and bowed deeply, saying respectfully:

"Senior, I want to learn the way of alchemy from you and serve you."

"You want to worship me as your teacher to learn the way of alchemy?" The old man with rat whiskers couldn't believe his ears.

Is this guy sick? He came here and wanted to learn the way of alchemy. What's the use of refining alchemy? It's still for others.

However, he looked at the handsome and humble Zhan Nianchuan, and he still had a lot of good feelings in his heart. He didn't scold him directly, but said indifferently:

"I don't plan to teach people to make alchemy. You can only wish you good luck."

What he never expected was that Zhan Nianchuan's face changed drastically after hearing his answer, and then punched him hard on the nose.

"Ah~"

"You bastard!"

Under the surprised gazes of everyone in the audience, the old man with rat whiskers had a nosebleed and was in so much pain that tears came out. He looked extremely miserable, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Zhan Nianchuan.
