The "Small Star-Breaking Room" is generally a place rented by cultivators below the Golden Core stage to make pills and instruments.
The underground "Star-Breaking Room" is usually provided for use by the sect's cultivators who have reached the foundation-building stage and above, as well as for the sect's core elite disciples to use for refining pills and making artifacts.
However, if you are willing to pay a higher price, the "Star Crushing Room" can also be rented to ordinary disciples, but you need to pay a large amount of spirit stones yourself.
In addition, if your realm is not high enough, or if you have not practiced the "Star-Breaking Ice and Fire Art" past the eighth level, the fate that awaits you will surely be fire poison entering your body and being burned by flames.
When the sea of consciousness is broken, the only way out is the demise of the Tao and the death of the body.
After practicing the "Star-Breaking Ice and Fire Art" to the eighth level, one can temporarily practice alchemy and refine weapons in it.
Therefore, "Falling Star Valley" has this rule, the main point is to target those disciples who are ambitious, so as to avoid them overestimating their abilities and dying on the spot.
In previous years, as long as you were willing to spend spirit stones and sect contribution points, the "Small Broken Star Room" could be rented in these two places.
Although the "Star-Breaking Room" has very high requirements, it can still be rented after reaching a certain level of cultivation and establishing some connections.
However, starting from the beginning of last year, the sect's rules changed, and each person can only rent the "Small Broken Star Room" for a cumulative period of 72 hours per month.
The "Star-Breaking Room" is currently only available to disciples who have been in the sect for more than fifteen years. The same conditions also apply to newly joined foundation-building cultivators, and no special treatment is allowed.
In this way, the impact on disciples like Li Yan who have just joined the sect is actually minimal.
But some of the new foundation-building cultivators who had joined the "Falling Star Valley" and the elite disciples with less than fifteen years of training were complaining bitterly.
Many people even went directly to the sect leader Lin Xinghe, but were all rejected by Lin Xinghe.
He also said, "He will consider this matter, and will open it when it is possible. After all, the Earth Fire Spirit Vein has been used frequently throughout the year.
The earth fire produced by the spiritual veins is far less than its consumption rate, and a lot of it has already turned into gray mist. Currently, it can only be used for the sect's operations.
That is to say, it can only be used when the valley is trading some high-grade elixirs and spiritual weapons for refining.
However, this phenomenon will gradually change within five to fifteen years. These years are nothing to a cultivator, they are usually just a retreat."
The Sect Leader's answer disappointed many people, especially those independent cultivators who had joined "Falling Star Valley" because of its reputation.
They are basically cultivators above the ninth level of Qi Condensation Stage, and there are even three powerful cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
They are not new disciples like Li Yan and his friends. It takes them several years to familiarize themselves with plants and refining materials in order to lay a solid foundation.
Afterwards, he only needed to use the "Star-Breaking Ice and Fire Art" he had cultivated to condense the flames and then he could slowly simulate the refining process.
When you feel confident that you can start refining pills and refining equipment, you can then rent the "Small Star-Breaking Room" to carry out the formal refining of pills and equipment.
The seventy-two hours provided now, or six days, are more than enough for them.
They don't need to refine elixirs above the third grade, nor do they need to refine mid-to-upper grade spiritual weapons.
Normally, three to five days of refining is their limit, and this is even when they are constantly taking qi-replenishing pills.
No matter how much more time they were given, they could not continue to swallow the pills to refine them. The pill poison and fire poison erosion in their bodies had accumulated to a certain extent, and they had to stop breathing to eliminate them.
Not to mention those low-level disciples who have just tried to make elixirs, they will often leave on their own after one or two hours.
Either the prepared materials were consumed, or they could not withstand the erosion of the underground fire poison. In short, the most important thing in "Falling Star Valley" is the underground "Star Crushing Chamber".
During this period of time, Li Yan finally got a general idea of the situation.
However, this incident made him very depressed. He felt that his luck was really bad. He encountered such a bad thing just one year late.
He had also been to the "Broken Star Cave" before, and on the surface it was just the curiosity of a new disciple.
There were many cultivators who went there with the same thoughts as him. Most of them were new members of the "Falling Star Valley", so Li Yan's visit would not attract anyone's attention.
The "Small Broken Star Chamber" can be rented for four hours with a low-level spirit stone. This fee is actually frighteningly high for a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage.
The sect only gave them three spirit stones a month. When they really started practicing, these three spirit stones were not enough for them to use for their own practice.
Therefore, those low-level disciples had to sacrifice some of their training time to complete sect tasks.
Such tasks include cleaning the sect, helping people classify plants, refining low-level monster bones into liquid, sorting out waste pills in the waste pill room, and so on.
In exchange for some spirit stones and sect contribution points to replenish their own pockets, every spirit stone they earned was saved from their teeth.
Therefore, low-level cultivators usually use the flames created by their spiritual power to repeatedly practice alchemy and refining techniques. Only when they are mature will they go to the "Broken Star Cave" to actually start refining the elixir.
This is not only to save the rental of spirit stones, but more out of the worry that the raw materials will be wasted, which is the real money-eating beast and bottomless pit.
If they ruin a batch of raw materials, they may have to spend more than they earn for years or even decades.
New cultivators like Li Yan go to the "Star-Broken Cave" to take a look.
First, you need to be familiar with the place;
The second is to get a feel for the environment there. Few people are willing to spend spirit stones to rent a place for testing.
Although Li Yan didn't care about that little bit of spirit stone, and he even really wanted to take a closer look at the underground fire, that was not in line with his current identity.
He was just like everyone else, standing on the periphery, waiting for the moment when someone came out of a "small broken star room" so that he could slightly feel the breath of the earth fire. Of course, Li Yan would take advantage of the moment when someone opened the door and no one was paying attention, and instantly invade the "small broken star room" with his spiritual consciousness.
He could sense that there was a hint of chill amidst the scorching heat in the room. The underground fire had been sealed again after use, and he could not feel anything more.
However, Li Yan had been in some alchemy rooms in Laojun Peak, and had also stayed in the Huoyan Palace in the Beiming Demon-Suppressing Tower for a long time.
He had his own judgment on the sensation of heat. Li Yan guessed that the grade of the earth fire in the "Small Broken Star Chamber" was probably higher than that of the ordinary alchemy and refining room in Laojun Peak.
But in this way, it cannot reach the level that Li Yan needs. The Guiyi Water-Fencing Thorn still has a clear requirement for the fire vein for refining the weapon.
According to the information Li Yan had obtained, plus his own feeling of the temperature on the ground of the "Broken Star Cave".
The underground fire in the "Star-Breaking Chamber" should be four to six times more concentrated than that above. Such underground fire can meet the requirements for refining the Gui Yi Fen Shui Thorn.
In the courtyard, Li Yan held his chin with his hand. He thought over and over again in his mind. For a moment, he even had the plan to risk sneaking into the underground of the "Broken Star Cave" and use the "Heaven-Stealing Scarf" to force his way in.
But it's just a thought, things haven't reached that stage yet.
Although the "Heaven-stealing Scarf" is powerful, it is not a treasure that can break all restrictions in the world.
If something goes wrong, not only would he fail to enter the "Star-Breaking Chamber", but he would alarm the Jindan cultivators in the valley. Then all the preparations he had made before would be a waste of time.
It would also lead to endless pursuit, which was what Li Yan least wanted to see.
Li Yan suddenly thought of two people, the two talented boys and girls who entered the "Falling Star Valley" with him, Tian Denghu and Feng Tao.
The last time he went to the "Star-Breaking Cave", these two people happened to be standing not far away, but they were standing next to the "Small Star-Breaking Room", unlike Li Yan and some others who were standing far away.
The cultivation levels of these two people, Feng Tao has reached the seventh level of Qi Condensation Stage, and Tian Denghu has reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation Stage.
I heard that their practice of "Star-Breaking Ice and Fire Art" has also made rapid progress, and they have reached the fourth and fifth levels respectively.
Especially Feng Tao, who made continuous breakthroughs in just half a year and even jumped two levels in realm. Her talent was astonishing.
After breaking through to the third level in the "Star-Breaking Ice and Fire Art", the flames that appeared could be used to refine some materials for alchemy and refining. The vigorous vitality in the flames could be integrated into the refined materials.
Therefore, it won’t be long before they enter the “Small Star-Breaking Chamber” and start the furnace.
"It is inevitable that these two will become elite disciples of the sect. As their cultivation level improves, they are more and more eager to use the 'Star Shattering Room'. Perhaps this can be used to their advantage..."
Many disciples knew that Feng Tao and Tian Denghu were now disciples of a foundation-building cultivator, so naturally there would be some discussion about it.
After all, there were only a handful of new disciples who were accepted into the sect's fold by the two powerful men at once.
Li Yan had heard of the two foundation-building cultivators. It was said that the two were actually brothers, and their master was a Jindan elder from the "Falling Star Valley".
This Jindan elder had three disciples in total. He left the sect a long time ago and traveled far away. It is said that it has been hundreds of years. He may have died outside.
What does a Jindan cultivator represent in a second-rate sect? Even if his life or death is unknown, his influence still remains. It is said that his three disciples are also extremely powerful in the sect.
This is like leaning on a big tree. Feng Tao and Tian Denghu's cultivation progress is astonishingly fast. With this relationship, their identities are subtly different.
"Falling Star Valley" was originally based on alchemy and refining equipment. Li Yan felt that as these two people's realms were rapidly improving, their desire to use the "Star Shattering Chamber" was probably several times stronger than that of ordinary disciples like them.
Although the "Star-Breaking Chamber" is now said to be only for use by the sect's special weapon refiners, there is no fairness in this world.
"It seems that there is still a chance to find it, but we just have to wait for the right time! At the same time, we need to pay more attention to the other elite disciples in the sect."
After Li Yan thought about it, he could only wait for an opportunity except to take the risk of sneaking in.
But he was not willing to wait too long and placed all his hopes on Feng Tao and Tian Denghu. He thought he should pay more attention to the movements of those old elite disciples.
Just as Li Yan was looking for a good opportunity to enter the "Star Crushing Chamber", more than half a month later, something big happened.
One day, a piece of news suddenly came from outside that a team of "Falling Star Valley" escorting trading goods was ambushed and killed on the way six thousand miles away from "Falling Star Valley".
The items carried included a magic weapon, and seven high-level spiritual weapons were all lost.
A mid-stage foundation-building cultivator and six Qi-condensing disciples in the escort team were killed.
When this news spread back to the sect, it caused a tremendous shock throughout the entire "Falling Star Valley".
Now it is not only a matter of compensating the homeowner for his losses, but more importantly, someone dared to attack and kill their own cultivators within the sphere of influence of the "Falling Star Valley".
What does a foundation-building cultivator mean to a second-rate sect? He is the backbone of the sect, and there are no more than thirteen foundation-building cultivators in the entire sect.
Among them, there are quite a few monks who are not good at fighting and are devoted to refining medicine and weapons.
Those who can be sent out to perform missions are usually experienced and best at fighting, but in some situations, they will die without any warning.
Just when the leader Lin Xinghe was furious and went out to look for clues himself.
Subsequently, bad things happened one after another. Nine more disciples of the "Falling Star Valley" who were training or carrying out missions outside disappeared one after another.
Everything happened silently. No one saw the fight between the nine people, or those who saw it also disappeared from this world.
