There are no mice in Xiangyun Mountain. In this place of cultivation, mice cannot exist unless they are spirit beasts, but there are many ants in the mountains.
These ants are natural things, and they are not annoying in the crevices of some rocks on weekdays, as if they are part of the mountain, so no one cares.
But today, around the alchemy pavilion, the disciple guarding there was shocked and stood up abruptly. He found that in an instant, countless ants appeared on the ground, and these ants went straight to the alchemy pavilion.
"This... what's going on!" The disciple guarding the medicine refining pavilion took a deep breath and looked at the countless ants, only to feel that his scalp was tingling.
At the same time, in many rooms in this medicine refining pavilion, many of the disciples who were making alchemy all exclaimed. More bombardment of the pill came out, and more ants roared in, even if there were The formation method, but this alchemy room was originally in the mountain, and the ants drilled out along the gaps.
Go straight in one direction.
This direction is the room where Bai Xiaochun is. At this moment, he curiously picked up the black pill. When he looked surprised, he heard faint roars coming from outside, and at the same time, suddenly appeared on the floor of the room where he was. Countless ants.
These ants went crazy and went straight to Bai Xiaochun.
"Xiangyun Mountain actually has an ant plague!!" Bai Xiaochun jumped up suddenly, feeling that the goose bumps all over his body were all up, but as he jumped up, some ants actually jumped up and went straight to the black pill in Bai Xiaochun's hand. .
Bai Xiaochun's scalp was numb. Seeing this scene, no matter whether it was useful or not, he quickly threw out the pill in his hand. Almost the moment the pill was thrown out, the ants changed their directions crazily and rushed straight to the pill.
When the pill fell on the ground, countless ants surrounded it in the blink of an eye, and quickly formed a big ball. Bai Xiaochun looked pale and amazed.
Soon, the big ball made up of ants fell down like a collapse, and countless ants got into the gap and disappeared. As for the pill, there was nothing left.
In the whole medicine refining pavilion, no ant appeared in an instant. They came quickly and disappeared quickly. Although this matter made those alchemy disciples depressed, there was no way. The disciples who guarded this place saw no loss, although they were curious. , But did not report.
After all, only Bai Xiaochun saw the madness of those ants, and when others saw it, it was just a large number of ants passing by.
Bai Xiaochun's heart was lingering. It seemed that there was no problem when he set off the pill he had just made by himself. It was just that he was too careful. In the refining technique, even if he succeeded, he still had to strive for perfection. He vaguely remembered that it seemed the last time he made a nourishing pill. It seems to adjust the proportion of the match.
"Could it be that the last tonic pill that I refined is also a great tonic for ants?" Bai Xiaochun scratched his head, feeling that he seemed to be very powerful. Not only could he make a pill for humans, but also a pill for ants. Medicine can also be refined.
When walking out of the room, Bai Xiaochun felt a little embarrassed, listening to the depressed voices of those alchemy disciples who had also come out from other rooms around him, so he bowed his head and hurriedly left.
A few days later, Bai Xiaochun saw that there was nothing coming from the medicine refining pavilion, and then he came again. After paying the contribution, he chose another room and continued refining medicine.
This time, he began to refine the longevity incense.
Although refining incense and alchemy are similar, there are some differences in technique. After all, one is to eat and the other is to ignite the inhalation, especially when the medicine is finally made, one is a pill, and the other is a block of incense gathered together.
With the last experience, Bai Xiaochun remained cautious and careful when refining this longevity incense. In the end, it took two months, ten materials, and seven successfully.
Only then satisfactorily left, holding the seven longevity incense in his hand, Bai Xiaochun was in his wooden house, and after practicing spirits three times, the color of the seven longevity incense was already dark purple, although the three spiritual patterns on it were dimmed. , Can still be seen clearly, and obviously, this longevity incense gives people a completely different feeling from before.
Bai Xiaochun looked at the longevity incense in his hand, thoughtfully. At this moment, he was not like he was ignorant of elixir. As the elixir was refined, he gradually understood a lot, knowing that any kind of elixir was refined. Most of the impurities are present. These impurities are non-absorbable but difficult to separate out. As they are swallowed, they will be deposited in the body and gradually become the so-called poison.
This is also the reason why many elders in the sect have some hesitation when the disciples swallow the pill. In theory, a certain amount of poison will be eliminated from the body, but if you swallow more pill, the poison will be natural. The more it accumulates, it will hinder future practice.
Therefore, according to the amount of impurities in the elixir, the elixir is divided into six levels.
"Down, middle, up, good, excellent, extremely..." Bai Xiaochun muttered, looking at the longevity fragrance in his hand, impurities occupying more than 90%, it is poisonous pill, not in the product, unless absolutely necessary, no one will eat it. .
If impurities occupy about 80%, it is called low-grade, and this kind of elixir is the most. If impurities occupy about 60%, it is called middle-grade. This kind of elixir is rare, and only true pharmacists are talented. Can be refined.
As for the impurities with only four levels, they are top-grade and even rarer, while the impurities with only 20% of the good products, and the high-quality products with only 10% of the impurities, can only occasionally appear in some large auctions.
And the superb elixir without the slightest impurity is only in the rumors.
Bai Xiaochun stared at the fragrance of longevity. He didn't understand when he was refining the elixir. At this moment, he observed carefully and immediately noticed that the refining of the elixir did not directly increase the power like a magic weapon, but... changed the quality of the elixir!
At this moment, the longevity incense in his hand contains only 40% impurities, which is actually a good product!
This discovery made Bai Xiaochun very excited. After he pondered for a while, he went to Zidingshan instead of looking for Zhang Dafang, but to the south bank of Lingxi Sect, the spiritual refining hall only available in Zidingshan!
The disciples can contribute points here to let the elders of the spiritual refining hall help refining spirits. Although the probability of failure is not small, many disciples are still keen on this.
In this spiritual refining hall, Bai Xiaochun observed and asked someone for inquiries. When he left, he had determined that the effect of refining the spirit of the spiritual medicine could indeed get rid of impurities.
Returning to Xiangyun Mountain, Bai Xiaochun happily looked at the elixir he had made, lit one and took a deep breath, and immediately felt a sense of fullness in his body, and the bursts of aroma blended into his body, making his whole body up and down. It's all warm. If life is a fire, then at this moment, he feels that the fire has been added to a small piece of wood, and it is a little more vigorous.
So while smelling the fragrance of longevity, he was practicing Immortal Longevity Gong. As long as he felt hungry, he took a deep breath and the feeling would dissipate a lot.
The seven fragrances of longevity supported Bai Xiaochun's practice of immortality and longevity for half a month. After half a month, he clearly felt his immortal iron skin, tougher and stronger.
Bai Xiaochun was proud, tidying up his storage bags, and immediately went down the mountain to Fang City, where he sold the items belonging to Chen Fei and the others, bought dozens of materials for refining longevity incense, and refined the medicine again.
His success rate in refining longevity incense was also rapidly improved by his constant caution and care, from 70% to 80% of the finished medicine, and finally, it was maintained at 10%.
It's just that Bai Xiaochun is still a little dissatisfied, because although his success rate has increased to 100%, the elixir he can refine are all low-grade.
But this matter is difficult for him to improve in a short time, so he can only use spiritual training to get rid of impurities, and practice daily, take out the longevity incense from time to time, and take a hard sip. That feeling makes him feel that the whole world is happy. of.
In this practice, his undead longevity skills have increased day by day, and even his cultivation level has also improved, gradually approaching the sixth level of condensing Qi Dzogchen.
And the fastest improvement of Immortal Longevity Kungfu is only a little short, and it can be immortal. Bai Xiaochun's whole body is more tenacious than before. When he uses the broken lock, the black of his two fingers is also deepened.
But at this time, the effect of the longevity incense was slowly diminishing. In the end, there was not much effect left. Bai Xiaochun could only sigh. He understood that this was because the same kind of elixir had absorbed too much and the body had adapted to it, so it had no effect. .
If you want to continue to practice, you must change to a better elixir than longevity. It’s just that the prescription of this type of elixir is strictly controlled. If you want to get it, you can only be promoted to a medicinal apprentice. Later, to contribute to the sect in exchange.
Or even go to some of the larger square cities, but those square cities are far away from the Zongmen. Bai Xiaochun thought about going there, showing decisiveness in his eyes.
"Go to be promoted to a drug apprentice!"
He pondered that with his experience in refining medicine and his natural knowledge, there shouldn’t be a big problem in being promoted to a medicinal apprentice, but for insurance, he bought several other scattered formulas in the following days, each of which was refined two or three times. After failing, I gradually became more confident in my heart, and then I went to the Pharmacist Hall to register and apply for promotion.
This kind of promotion assessment will not be opened for one person. It will only be carried out when the number of people is almost the same. After waiting for another month, Bai Xiaochun was thinking about a problem in refining the elixir. The identity token vibrated, and when it was taken out, an old voice echoed in his mind.
"In the early morning of tomorrow, in front of the Pharmacist Hall, the apprenticeship promotion assessment will begin."
