Half a year has passed like this.
Six or seven months was just a snap of a finger for the strong men on the border. During this time, there were no changes on the border, except for the occasional harassment from the demons.
Along with Xie Jiuniang who came with hatred.
It seemed as if everyone had let go of their hatred during this period of time, and their days were very regular.
Residence plus front line.
Either in the residence or on the front line.
Daojun Qiansha once came to see her in person, and when he found that she had no signs of being possessed by a demon, he left without saying a word.
Based on the clues provided by Xie Jiuniang, Daojun Qiansha did not report the news blindly, but specially arranged people to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the powerful demons. After more than half a year, he finally found some clues.
Only then was the news reported to the Tongmenghui.
The top leaders in the world of immortal cultivation took this very seriously and have secretly changed their strategy, sending more than ten gods to the central battlefield to keep watch at various locations.
As soon as there is news, it will be sent back.
Xie Jiuniang didn't care about it and immersed herself in learning how to make elixirs.
One day, the whole camp was filled with the fragrance of elixir.
"Hey, is this an eighth-grade pill?" An elder from the Tianxu Sect in the camp asked in surprise, "Is Mu Hong in the camp?"
"No, I heard he was in seclusion."
"But this is an eighth-grade elixir fragrance, right?"
"I smelled it, it's true! Could it be that Mu Hong's retreat was fake, and coming to the camp to make pills was real? But how come we don't know?"
Those who chatted here were all elders of the sect.
Master Mu Hong’s coming here can hide the truth from ordinary disciples, but there is no way he can hide it from those who are always concerned about the safety of the camp.
In the medical practice room.
There are more than ten disciples from the Danfeng Sect here, who have come to support us during this period. The demons have not sent anyone to harass us in the past few days, so no one has been injured.
They were gathered together chatting.
I just happened to smell the aroma of medicine in the air.
Someone asked in surprise: "Xing Luan, your master is refining the elixir in the camp, why didn't he ask you to help?"
"This is not the pill made by my master." Xing Luan denied everyone's speculation.
The master was refining the elixir while the disciple was watching.
This is a rare learning opportunity for apprentices.
When Master Mu Hong was refining the elixir, he would always ask Xing Luan to help him. Therefore, Xing Luan could answer with certainty that the eighth-grade elixir was real, but the person who refined it was not Mu Hong.
Xing Luan's words were like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake.
It caused an uproar.
"Is this true? It's not Elder Mu Hong?" A Danfeng Jindan disciple was stunned, and then shocked, "Our Tianxu Sect has another eighth-grade alchemist? Who is it?"
“I want to know who it is, too.”
"Same question, I want to know too!"
"I'm so curious. Apart from us, which other elder came to the border secretly?"
It was quite strange that he came and then didn't show up.
Of course, this kind of doubt is only expressed in their hearts. They dare not say it out loud, for fear that it might be heard, and then they would not be able to get away with being disrespectful to their predecessors.
Someone followed the scent of the elixir and tried to find the person who made the elixir.
Unexpectedly, Daojun Ying'an raised his hand and rolled up a gust of wind magic in the camp, blowing away all the medicinal fragrance that filled the camp, leaving those who were trying to find the source of the fragrance confused.
"Then let them be curious."
Daojun Ying An said with a malicious look, "No matter how hard they try, they will never guess the source of this elixir."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Don't look at how calm Su Jin Daojun is now.
The moment she smelled the eighth-grade elixir just now, she was shocked.
I heard earlier that the other party was a sixth-grade alchemist.
How long has it been since he became an eighth-grade cultivator? !
Su Jin Daojun said with emotion: "It is so easy to make breakthroughs in alchemy now. Ying An, do you want to study it as well? I remember you studied it for a while."
"puff-"
Ying An Daojun spit out the tea he had just taken, "No, thank you for thinking so highly of me."
What a good breakthrough! Among the four arts, the most important thing for a cultivator is talent.
Ying An Daojun happened to be the one who had no talent for alchemy. He had studied it for hundreds of years but still hadn't figured it out. Up to now, he could only barely refine a few fourth-grade pills.
Compared to a certain little monster, it's not even the same world at all.
Xie Jiuniang, who was in her own residence, was unaware of the commotion in the camp caused by Danxiang.
At this time, she was taking out two eighth-grade pills from the alchemy furnace and putting them into a high-level pill bottle.
"Congratulations, Master. You have finally become an eighth-grade alchemist!" The sword spirit said excitedly, "It's not easy. It's been more than half a year. Woo woo."
Xie Jiuniang hummed lightly.
The bastard definitely hasn't finished what he said.
Sure enough, the sword spirit informed her of the new information, "Master Mu Hong failed twice. He has given up the three attempts at refining the elixir and is now working on a breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage."
"oh."
Xie Jiuniang reacted coldly.
During this period, she fully understood how difficult it was to break through to the eighth-grade alchemist. Even with her incredible abilities and knowledge of the detailed steps of alchemy, it still took her more than seven months to succeed once.
In her prediction, she failed no less than tens of thousands of times.
After constantly summarizing my experiences of failure, I finally succeeded.
Of course, in the process of failure, Xie Jiuniang still learned a lot, especially the knowledge that a seventh-grade alchemist lacked, which she completely consolidated.
Now she can not only refine the seventh-grade Xuanmai Pill, but also other seventh-grade pills, with a success rate of up to ninety-nine percent.
She did not say that the success rate was 100%, but Xie Jiuniang was humble enough.
At this time, the sword spirit asked again in surprise: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
"I want to break through to the ninth level, but I just failed twice. What's the problem?" Xie Jiuniang thought about the fact that she had failed tens of thousands of times when she tried to break through to the eighth level, and she didn't want to speak anymore.
If there was no way to cheat, how many spiritual plants would be wasted
From this point of view alone, Xie Jiuniang knew that her talent in alchemy was far inferior to that of true alchemy masters such as Mu Hong Zhenjun. Her greatest reliance was the ability to predict the future with the Time Treasure Leaf.
Without this ability, it would be a fantasy for her to break through to the eighth-grade alchemist in such a short time.
You have to know that there are only a limited number of high-level spiritual plants.
It is not easy to collect a recipe for an eighth-grade or ninth-grade pill.
Therefore, it is impossible for alchemists to squander high-level spiritual plants indefinitely. Like Master Mu Hong, every time he refines a high-quality elixir, he has to prepare for it for a long time.
Moreover, the reason why Master Mu Hong failed twice was not because of his insufficient alchemy skills, but because of his insufficient spiritual awareness.
Why is it so difficult to break through to the ninth-grade alchemist
First of all, the spiritual awareness is a problem that blocks all the Nascent Soul alchemy practitioners.
