He performed it five or six times in a row, but failed every time, making Fang Xing anxiously scratching his head and scratching his head. When he wanted to continue practicing, he found that the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted, so he had to take a sip of spiritual wine to replenish his spiritual energy . He smashed the demon pill into pieces and poured the spirit wine into the gourd. The wine mixed with the demon pill has turned into an extremely precious pill wine.
This is an indigenous method that he researched in Yao Miasma Mountain, which can make full use of the Yao Pill without wasting it.
He is a D-level aptitude. Originally, he could not absorb the aura scattered between the heaven and the earth, and could only supplement it with the aura from the outside world.
Now, as his cultivation base has increased, his body has been washed twice by spiritual energy, and he can gradually absorb some spiritual energy after washing his tendons and marrow. However, the recovery of spiritual energy is still slow. After the light, it only takes two or three hours to recover, but Fang Xing needs a day or two to recover, which is extremely slow.
However, if it is recovered by consuming spirit stones, it will only take half a day, while with spirit wine, half an hour is enough.
And this characteristic also determines that disciples with low aptitude consume far more resources in cultivation than disciples with first-level aptitude.
It's not unreasonable for Taoism to talk about qualifications.
Because in the future practice, unless Fang Xing succeeds in building the foundation, this gap will always exist.
Whether it is practicing spells or practicing on a daily basis, it needs to consume resources, and if you add up, it is a terrible number.
This is also a hard truth in the practice world. If talent is not enough, resources will be used to make up for it.
This congenital defect will not disappear until the foundation is established successfully.
Of course, even now, because Fang Xing has sufficient resources, he can ignore this aspect of consumption.
"Huh? After the spiritual energy is exhausted, and then replenish it slowly, there will be a feeling of increased spiritual energy?"
Fang Xing did not make a breakthrough in the practice of capturing dragons and controlling cranes, but he was keenly aware of the changes in his own spiritual energy. He found that constantly consuming spiritual energy and replenishing spiritual energy would actually make his cultivation gradually increase.
His cultivation level, which had been stagnant because it was about to reach its limit, gradually reached its peak state.
"That's right. Cultivation is probably the same as human strength. When my uncle taught me how to practice martial arts, he said that human strength will be exhausted and then regenerated. Through such a process, it will become Getting bigger and bigger is actually the same principle in practice, that is, you have to keep tempering. Only in this way can you become stronger and stronger and have a solid foundation... "
Fang Xing pondered the principles of cultivation by himself.
No one cares about their outer disciples, and they have to understand the principles of cultivation by themselves.
After discovering this problem, Fang Xingbian practiced the skill of catching dragons and controlling cranes more diligently. As time went by, his cultivation level, which was always one line away from the peak of the third level of agility, was gradually improved, and he completely reached the level of At this point, he felt that his cultivation base could not be improved at all, and he had completely reached his own limit.
And now, about a month has passed since he knocked Meng Xuanzhao's sap.
During this period of time, Fang Xing took back all the treasures he had hidden outside, and became a little rich man in the outer sect. It was precisely because of this small fortune that Fang Xing prepared to do business. A Broken Rank Pill has arrived.
Now that his cultivation has reached the peak of the third level of agility, no matter how much he cultivates, there is no way to advance. However, if he takes another step, he can be promoted to the fourth level of agility. Not only his strength has skyrocketed, but he can also be officially promoted to an inner sect disciple , when the time comes, the vast and smoky sea of secret law classics in the Taoist gate will be opened to him, so that he can truly practice spells and have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground!
However, if you want to take this step, you need a broken rank pill!
In the Qingmu Pavilion of Daomen, there is a complete broken-level pill for sale, but the price is...
A thousand spirit stones!
The price of just one broken rank pill is a thousand spirit stones.
Only one hundred taels of gold can buy one Lingshi, and one thousand Lingshi is worth one hundred thousand taels of gold.
This is gold, not silver.
One hundred thousand taels of gold, in the world of mortals, can almost buy half a city.
When Fang Xing was in Ghost Smoke Valley, when he was the richest, there were only 30,000 taels of gold and 7,000 taels of silver. This was the wealth accumulated by nine uncles fighting day and night and plundering everywhere for decades.
From the looks of it, cultivation is something that ordinary people can't afford.
Of course, there is another option, which is to collect all kinds of medicinal materials for refining Podan, and then ask Qixia Valley alchemist to refine it.
In this case, not counting the alchemist's remuneration, you only need the money to buy the stone essence powder and other eight conceited elixir, and all the spirit stones add up, only five or six hundred spirit stones are needed, which is almost cheaper than the finished product half.
Of course, there is a risk in this. If the alchemist fails to make alchemy for you, the batch of elixir will be destroyed, but they don't have to bear any responsibility. This risk can only be borne by the cultivator himself.
Or spend a thousand spirit stones to buy the finished product directly.
Or take the risk of alchemy failure and find someone to refine it at half the price.
Speaking of which, Fang Xing is not considered poor now, he earned a hundred spirit stones by receiving the talisman this time, and got a total of about two hundred spirit stones from Hou Qing, Liu San, and Qian Tong. The left and right spirit stones, together with the ones snatched from Meng Xuanzhao and knocked from the hands of Hei San, totaled about 500 spirit stones, which is considered rare in the entire outer gate.
However, if this is the case, it is still half the difference to buy the Broken Rank Pill directly.
But it would be much easier for Fang Xing to find an alchemist to make alchemy. The spirit stones he has now are more than enough.
After all, if you use an alchemist to refine the broken-level pill, you only need to prepare the materials yourself, and the most valuable material among them is Shi Jing San, which alone is worth 300 spirit stones, which is more expensive than other eight elixir medicines. It's a lot to add up, and Fang Xing already has the stone essence in his hand, that is to say, he only needs to spend another two hundred yuan of spirit stones to gather all the other materials.
Of course, if you find an alchemist to make alchemy, you will face the risk of alchemy failure. The only way to avoid this risk is to invite a higher-ranked alchemist to do alchemy for you. The higher the rank, the lower the risk.
After staying in Taoism for so long, Fang Xing also has a good understanding of some situations in the practice world.
There are five levels of alchemy, which are Qinglu alchemist, red furnace alchemist, purple furnace alchemy king, ink furnace alchemy, and jade furnace alchemy.
Each rank is divided into ten stages, the higher the rank, the better the alchemy technique.
Qingyun Sect has a branch that specializes in practicing alchemy, which is Qixia Valley. It is said that the most brilliant is Qixia Valley's elder Qingniao, whose rank is Chilu alchemist, but the specific rank is unknown, and Qixia Valley Among the disciples are all Qinglu Dan disciples, but the hundreds of Qixia Valley disciples naturally have different ranks. The most powerful disciple is already a half-step Chilu.
This disciple, Fang Xing had seen before, was Xu Lingyun who carried Xiaoman into the gate outside the mountain gate.
The higher the rank of the alchemist, the higher the success rate of alchemy, and the higher the price of asking them to make a move.
However, there is no reference for the specific price. After all, most of the people around Fang Xing today are unable to make alchemy. Fang Xing can only inquire about the general situation when looking for them.
With that in mind, Fang Xing planned to go and inspect it himself, and step on the spot.
After making up his mind, Fang Xing went to the Caojing Hall of the disciples of the outer sect, and bought some herbal medicines for refining "Qi Qi Pill". , when you can't hold your own aura, it is used to forcibly stabilize your own aura. It belongs to a kind of elixir that is not high in rank, but it is very complicated to refine, and the level of the alchemist is the most tested.
After all, the broken rank pill is very important, and Fang Xing will not just find someone to refine it for him, so he is going to ask for directions with the "Fat Qi Pill" first, and only after he is sure that he has found a alchemist who can make him feel at ease Discussing the matter of refining Po-rank pills, the difficulty of cutting Qi pills is higher than that of Po-rank pills, and it is not a big problem for alchemists who can refine the cutting-qi pills to refine Po-rank pills.
Bringing all the elixir for refining Qiqi Pill, Fang Xing made a burden and went to Qixia Valley.
Qixia Valley is located on the west side of Yunyin Peak, close to the 100,000 Spirit Fields, which is convenient for collecting elixir. This place is basically isolated from Qingyun Sect, and disciples in the sect rarely interact with ordinary disciples of Qingyun Sect. It was ten times the size of Qingxi Valley where Fang Xing lived, and the treatment of disciples in Qixia Valley was different from that of ordinary disciples. Even the outer sects had their own caves.
These disciples who practice alchemy are different from ordinary disciples. They don't judge their level based on cultivation, but mainly on the attainment of alchemy. The level of pill that can be refined will be determined by their status. To enter Qixia Valley, talent is also required, either the wood spirit or fire spirit bloodline that is naturally suitable for alchemy, or the extremely high attainments in medicine and elixir.
The reason why Xu Lingyun cared so much about Xiaoman was because Xiaoman was of wood spirit bloodline.
The blood of the wood spirit is naturally close to the elixir, and can even change the efficacy and age of the elixir. Practicing the alchemy method will get twice the result with half the effort.
After entering the Yaoling Valley, one can see the tranquility and tranquility everywhere, with the glow of medicine, and a small road leading to the unknown place in Yunshen.
"Who are you looking for?"
Fang Xing stood at Taniguchi, scratched his scalp for a while, and asked directly from Taniguchi!
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a young student Dan was weeding in the flower field in front of a cave on the left front, so Fang Xing squeezed out a smiling face and greeted him. The apprentice glanced over, looked at Fang Xing slightly, and said expressionlessly: "One shot, no matter what kind of pill you make, whether it is successful or not, you need ten spirit stones..."
Fang Xing was stunned for a moment: "Uh, how do you know I'm here to make alchemy?"
That alchemist glanced at Fang Xing, and said: "The disciples from the outer sect came to our Qixia Valley, isn't it for alchemy?"
"Are all these alchemists like the old man?"
Fang Xing smiled wryly, and said, "Okay, I want to make a furnace of cutting Qi pill..."
Before the words were finished, that year Qing Dantu frowned, and said: "The refining of Qi Pill is troublesome, it needs three turns and twelve fires, seven quenching nine evil spirits, ten spirit stones are too low, at least thirty spirit stones are needed Shi, I have to make a shot!"
Fang Xing was shocked by him, and asked cautiously: "Then let me ask again, how sure are you?"
The alchemist was immediately displeased, and said coldly: "You don't know the rules. Alchemists make alchemy. One talks about the secrets of the sky, the second talks about the earth's energy, and the third talks about the skills of the alchemist. Whether you succeed or not depends on God's will. How can you do it?" Ask people how confident they are?"
Fang Xing was speechless. Rolling his eyes, he said: "You collect money to make alchemy, but I can't ask you how sure you are?"
That alchemist stood up, shook his head helplessly, and said: "In this world, there are more and more people who don't understand the rules. Anyway, let me tell you bluntly, I am a second-rank alchemist. Qi Dan, there is... a 30% certainty!"
"I rely on it!"
Fang Xing jumped up and shouted, "If you're 30% sure, you'll take me thirty spirit stones? Think my spirit stones are blown by a strong wind?"
