For the current Liu Ming, this short sword was unable to exert its true power due to the limitation of the cultivation base. The 16-fold prohibition attached to it can now inspire three or fourfold, which is not bad.
But even so, this sword can change in size as long as it is refining, and it can also activate the restrictions attached to it. The power is not comparable to those so-called talismans.
After thinking about it, Liu Ming was about to throw the sword in front of him, and he was floating in the air out of thin air, pinching the tactics in his hand, and at the same time he continued to mutter some words, and his spirits continued to spray on the dagger, and he was quickly caught up in it. Inhaling it, let it become more and more chilly.
However, the difficulty of refining this short sword far exceeded Liu Ming's previous expectations.
I don't know if his current cultivation base is really lower than that of the middle-grade spirit sword, or if the spirit weapon sacrifices were originally not easy.
It only took seven days for him to refine the first ban on the flying sword, the second ban took half a month, and the third ban took two full months before he barely managed to achieve it. To the point where it can be motivated.
As for the fourth level of prohibition, after a few days of refining, there was no sign of movement, and then he realized that he could not refine it now. Most of them would have to wait until the cultivation base really reached the realm of the late spiritual disciple Dzogchen before there was so much hope. .
And in the past three months, the mysterious bubble still showed no signs of breaking out.
This made Liu Ming feel a little hairy in his heart, and after a sigh of relief, he began to study the basic alchemy book he bought from Weizhoufang City.
After all, after he cultivated to the late stage of the spiritual disciple, the price of increasing mana pill was suddenly much more expensive than before, and the types were also much rarer. Therefore, if he took low-grade pill, it was far from enough to reduce his mana. Pushed to the later stage of Dzogchen realm.
Therefore, he now has certain requirements for the quality of the pill.
If he waits for him to reach the realm after the spiritual master, the requirements for increasing the mana pill will only be more demanding, and even later, maybe he will not be able to buy a satisfactory pill with the spirit stone alone.
In this case, Liu Ming naturally hoped that the sooner he mastered alchemy, the better.
This complete alchemy book seems simple, but it introduces the basic knowledge of pill medicine and some common methods of alchemy.
According to the above, an alchemist is best to be a practitioner who is proficient in fire attribute or wood attribute exercises. Of course, if he can possess the legendary spirit flame, it is naturally better.
At the beginning, learning alchemy is easy to learn, after all, its essence is the process of decomposing and reorganizing some medicinal materials, and then condensing them into alchemy at high temperature. As long as you are not too stupid, you can easily learn the process.
The only problem is that learning is not the same as being able to make a pill.
After all, the successful refining of every kind of pill must test the alchemist's ability to control all aspects of material deployment, temperature control, and the time when the pill is released.
Even a slight deviation in one of the places can cause the entire refining process to fail.
But most of these things can't be taught by words and deeds, and can only be truly mastered by more personal practice.
Therefore, even the most brilliant alchemist, in the face of the simplest pill refining, would never dare to say that it was 100% successful.
As for those novices who are just getting in touch with alchemy, even the simplest alchemy, the rate of alchemy will be horribly low.
Hundreds of refining times have not even produced a single pill, which is a common occurrence for newcomers.
As for the refining of middle- and high-level pill, because the pill is more complicated and the materials used are more scarce, there is no practice or test when refining. Most of them can only be refined by the alchemist’s previous pill experience. The requirements for alchemists are naturally even higher.
However, a true alchemist does not require practice and accumulation of massive resources to appear.
This naturally led to the scarcity of alchemists in the entire cultivation world, and it can even be said that only those real great powers of the sect can cultivate real middle and high-rank alchemists.
The No. 1 alchemist in the sect of the poisonous spirit in the Barbarian Ghost Sect was barely an intermediate alchemist. But in this way, its position in the sect is completely different from other spiritual masters, and no one dares to offend it easily.
After reading the whole book of basic alchemy, Liu Ming suddenly felt eager to try. After hesitating for a while, he selected the most commonly used pill, bigudan, from the basic pill prescriptions attached later. After studying carefully, I took out a set of alchemy utensils and some materials, and really started to try grinding and mixing...
Five days later, a muffled sound came from the training room, and a black smoke came out of the white cauldron that was burning fiercely in front of Liu Ming, and there was a faint smell of burnt. out.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face sank, but his hands were resolved, and the flames around the cauldron suddenly dissipated out of thin air.
This was already the dozens of furnaces he had failed, but he couldn't refine even a bigu pill.
Although the classics have long stated that this is a normal thing for newcomers who are just beginning to learn the way of alchemy.
But Liu Mingzhen was still hit hard by the situation, and his excitement from the beginning has turned into his current frustration.
More importantly, the related alchemy materials he originally purchased consumed almost half as much.
This made him feel distressed, so he stopped practicing alchemy, and planned to find a chance to find a few more alchemy classics from the sect in the future, or directly ask an alchemist in the sect for advice, and then consider reopening the furnace. The problem of alchemy.
Therefore, in the following time, when there is no pill to take, Liu Ming can only use one mind and two talents to slowly cultivate the deep bones.
A little bit of time passed, and another three months passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period of time, nothing abnormal happened, and even Liu Ming was a little unsure, wondering whether the mysterious bubble disappeared in his body.
But on this day, while he was cultivating, he suddenly felt the Linghai trembled, and a swallowing force immediately rushed out of it.
The mysterious bubble finally appeared after a long interval of time.
Liu Ming was startled, he did not hesitate to take the White Bone Scorpion first, and after a brief communication with spiritism, he began to desperately urge Ming Gu Jue to control his body's mana.
This time the devouring was indeed more violent than the last time. If it weren't for Liu Ming's advanced stage spiritual apprentice's late stage, his mana surged three or four times in a sudden, I am afraid it would have been sucked up in a moment.
But even so, the mana in Liu Ming's body was sucked away by the bubble nearly seven or eight times before he stopped swallowing it satisfactorily.
During this period, Liu Ming no longer felt that Shouyuan was stripped away, and he was also relieved.
But when the bubbles in his body burst with a sound, Liu Ming's eyes went dark, and he appeared in the gray space again.
The same space, but obviously larger than before, the radius is more than thirty feet wide.
Appearing with Liu Ming, naturally there is the ghost of the white bone scorpion with the mind link.
The ghost was obviously stunned by the fact that he appeared in another place, but immediately after he realized that there seemed to be some impression on this place, he immediately crawled around with a little excitement.
Liu Ming didn't question the white scorpion too much, but after taking a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed slightly.
It seems that although the mysterious bubble is more violent than swallowing mana every time, the time between appearances seems to be correspondingly longer. This is good news for him.
If judging by the fact that this time interval is almost twice as long as the last time interval, I think there should be a two-year buffer time for the next occurrence of the mysterious bubble.
Of course, this is only what he took for granted, whether there is such a long time is still something to talk about.
At least he needs the mysterious bubble to appear a few more times before he can really figure out the law of its appearance.
After thinking about it for a while in Liu Ming's heart, he already pinched the tactics in his hand, ready to start practicing the already accomplished fireball technique.
…
Half a year later, a giant fireball with a diameter of more than three feet between Liu Ming's hands was spinning slowly, and after a shake of his arm, it flew out to the opposite side with a whistling sound.
After a "boom", a black-red red cloud that was nearly mushroom-shaped rose to the sky on the opposite foggy wall, shaking the entire space slightly.
There was a satisfied look on Liu Ming's face, and at the same time a crimson symbol in his head collapsed in a flash.
Of course, the giant fireball just now was not a normal fireball technique, but only after stacking several fireballs could it have such terrifying power.
Although they are both low-level spells, after the fire bomb technique is cultivated to the Dzogchen realm, the power of destruction is the most powerful, and the power is far from comparable to that of the wind blade technique.
Liu Ming sat down on the ground, preparing to recover the mental power he had previously consumed.
However, when he glanced at it, he saw that the Bone Scorpion was stabling a nearby foggy wall with a tail hook madly not far away.
The black tail hook that was already fast as lightning, at this moment, under the urging of the bone scorpion, it turned into a number of ordinary black line ghosts. At the same time, the black thorns faintly visible at the front end made a sneer and scream. Endless.
Liu Ming smiled slightly when he saw this.
Since he deliberately brought this bone scorpion into this space, in addition to being too long and hoping to have a living creature as a companion, he even practiced his plan by the way.
Since he can improve the proficiency of spells in this space, Bone Scorpion can naturally do the same thing.
But now it seems that his idea is correct. The skull scorpion has been assassinating two or three points faster than half a year ago while practicing the tail hook.
Don't underestimate these two and three points!
The tail hook stabbing was originally the fastest and most powerful attack method for this scorpion. Now that it is improved, its destructive power has almost immediately doubled.
As a result, he naturally let the bone scorpion continue to practice more at ease.
After Liu Ming rested for a while, he began to consider what kind of spell he would practice below. Water Archery could not be compared with Fireball and Wind Blade in terms of its power or release speed. Naturally, he didn't intend to waste time on it.
In this way, he naturally considered the other higher-level spells he had learned newly.
