In the next few days, Su Zimo was not in a hurry to leave the cave, but chose to continue to retreat and practice the spirit gathering method he created.
As he expected, after removing the weapon refining cauldron, he could indeed achieve a 100% success rate in gathering spirits.
It's a pity that only one spiritual pattern can be condensed at a time.
When condensing the second spiritual pattern, it has never been successful.
Su Zimo initially thought it was due to the material, but after replacing it with red gold spar, it still had no effect.
Su Zimo was puzzled and decided not to spend time and energy on refining the weapon for the time being.
Being able to 100% refine low-grade spiritual weapons, Su Zimo has a sure chance of victory in the end-of-year weapon peak competition.
In half a year, Su Zimo not only has to improve his realm and learn the art of fighting with a sword, but also the art of alchemy.
As for alchemy, Su Zimo knew nothing about it.
Su Zimo didn't intend to publicize the news widely.
Just three months after being introduced to weapon refining, he was able to refine a low-grade spiritual weapon, which is really shocking.
What's more, Su Zimo planned to completely defeat Cai Feng Haoyu in the end-of-year Qi Peak competition. If the news came out now, Feng Haoyu would probably choose to avoid fighting.
On this day, Su Zimo walked out of the cave and drove his flying sword straight to Dan Peak.
In the next time, he planned to concentrate on learning the art of alchemy.
The five peaks were not far from each other, and not long after, Su Zimo descended on Dan Peak.
Every day at noon, an alchemist from the inner disciples will come to explain the method of alchemy, and all disciples from the Five Peaks can come and listen.
Dan Peak and Qi Peak are about the same strength, and they are the two weakest peaks of Piaomiao Peak.
But there are more Dan Peak disciples than Qi Peak disciples.
The reason is very simple. Becoming an alchemist allows you to refine elixirs yourself, which is of great help in improving your realm.
And even if the weapon refiner can refine the spiritual weapon, it will only improve the strength, but it will have no effect on improving the realm.
There are many cultivators who are extremely talented in refining weapons, but they have not entered the alchemy path, survived a hundred years of life, and finally died of old age.
Another more important aspect is that refining elixirs is relatively simpler than refining weapons, and there is no step like gathering spirits.
The difficulty of gathering souls has always been a problem. Except for Su Zimo, no weapon refiner dares to say it 100%.
Su Zimo came to Danfeng and attracted many people's attention.
After the storm in the Spirit Arena, there were very few disciples in the Five Peaks Trial who did not recognize Su Zimo.
The competition between Su Zimo and Feng Haoyu is well known to everyone.
Now that Su Zimo came to Danfeng, many Danfeng disciples were not surprised.
At noon.
The inner alchemist standing at the front of Danfeng Square pressed his hands, and the slightly noisy crowd gradually became quiet.
"Before refining the elixir, all of you fellow disciples need to know a few things."
The inner alchemist said slowly: "There are nine levels of elixirs. Generally speaking, first-level elixirs are suitable for Qi practitioners, second-level elixirs are suitable for Foundation-building monks, and third-level elixirs are suitable for Jindan masters. If you have Qi practitioners, If a soldier takes a third-level elixir, it will cause a hundred harms but no benefit, and he may even die on the spot!"
Hearing this, Su Zimo nodded secretly.
The reason is very simple, just like the red flame fruit he once devoured. The energy was too huge, but his body couldn't bear it, and in the end he could only explode and die.
"If you can refine first-level elixirs, you can be called a junior alchemist. If you can refine second-level elixirs, you can be called an intermediate alchemist. If you can refine third-level elixirs, you can be called a senior alchemist. I will learn the truth from the divination. An intermediate alchemist."
Many of the disciples below had expressions of envy and admiration on their faces.
"Everyone has heard the saying that every medicine contains three parts of poison."
Bu Xuezhen continued: "The same is true for elixirs in the world of cultivation. However, the so-called poison refers to the impurities contained in the elixir. The fewer impurities contained in the elixir, the better the quality of the elixir. If the elixir is Impurities account for more than 80% to 90% of the medicine, so for monks, it is really a 'poison pill'."
There was a chuckle from the crowd.
"Brother Bu, how can you tell the quality of the elixir?" The Formation disciple who asked the question was obviously new to alchemy.
Bu Xuezhen's eyes paused for a moment on Su Zimo, smiled, and said: "I see there are disciples from Qi Peak below. In fact, the color of the elixir is similar to the grade of the spiritual weapon. There are very obvious lines. It’s just that in elixirs it’s called elixir pattern, and in weapon refining it’s called spirit pattern.”
"Each level of elixir has five qualities. The lowest level elixir will show a Dan pattern. Of course, this does not require the alchemist to condense it. It just represents the amount of impurities in the elixir. A Dan The grain is called a low-grade elixir, and impurities account for 40%.”
"Two pill patterns are a medium-grade elixir, and impurities account for 30%. By analogy, three pill patterns are top-grade, and four pill patterns are top-grade. If five pill patterns can be condensed, the impurities will be zero. If it is all medicinal power, it is called a perfect elixir!”
Hearing this, Su Zimo's heart moved.
As Bu Xuezhen said, the level of spiritual weapons also includes spiritual patterns. Spiritual weapons that can condense four spiritual patterns can be called top-grade spiritual weapons.
If five spiritual patterns are condensed, the power will naturally be stronger. Will it also be called a perfect spiritual weapon
In fact, as Su Zimo expected, there is indeed a perfect spiritual weapon on top of the best spiritual weapons.
The reason why the sect's weapon refiners never mentioned it was because it was too difficult to gather spirits, let alone five spirit patterns. In the entire Zhou Dynasty, only a handful of people could condense four spirit patterns and refine the best spiritual weapons. countable.
If gathering spirits relies on long-term induction, then if you want to condense five spiritual patterns and refine a perfect spiritual weapon, it will be a stroke of luck.
Luck, opportunity, state, weather, location, people, environment, mentality... Only when all these factors are perfectly integrated can it be possible to refine a perfect spiritual weapon.
This is still possible at the level of a weapon refiner, who has reached his peak.
Bu Xuezhen's voice sounded again: "Alchemy is also divided into six steps. The first step is to select materials, including selecting spiritual wood, herbs and elixirs. The elixirs of each elixir are different. In the sect, exchanging the elixirs requires a contribution. Click. Outside, you need to buy spiritual stones. Of course, the more precious the elixir, the more expensive it will be."
Even first-order elixirs are divided into many types with different functions.
There are Peiyuan Pills that strengthen the body and vitality, and there are Huiling Pills that restore spiritual energy.
The most common and common ones, such as the Spirit Gathering Pill, can help monks better condense spiritual energy, and are relatively simple to refine.
Among the first-level elixirs, the required medicinal materials are the most complicated, and the most difficult to refine is the foundation-building elixir.
Foundation Establishment Pill, as the name suggests, can help Dzogchen Qi Practitioners cross the Foundation Establishment threshold more easily.
Between Qi condensation and foundation building, it is a big realm improvement, which is relatively difficult. If you have the foundation building pill to help, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Su Zimo listened attentively until Bu Xuezhen left. He sat quietly for a long time and wrote down everything he had learned today before he stood up.
Su Zimo came to the Alchemy Pavilion and used his contribution points to exchange for an alchemy furnace and a prescription for the Spirit Gathering Pill before returning to Qifeng Cave Mansion.
