Chapter 213: Dilemma
Furukawa had obviously seen that Zhan Chen was a martial artist who cultivated a metallic true element, so he lured him with the pill of metallic pills.
Danfang is the most valuable asset of an alchemist, which not only contains the prescription of each Chinese pill, but also contains unique refining techniques and seals, which are all valuable treasures pondered by the sages on the basis of repeated attempts and repeated failures. Therefore, an alchemist will never easily leak his own pill recipe to others, and even regard it as more important than his own life.
And today, in order to seduce Zhan Chen, Guhe was willing to give such a bloody capital, and Zhan Chen had to accept this temptation, yes, he needed the pill of metallic pills too much, with this thing, his future cultivation path would be smooth.
It is no exaggeration to say that today's good Danfang is more important and more valuable to him than a good martial art and a good weapon.
At this time, Furukawa further said: "Zhan Chen, how about it? As long as you are willing to teach me the alchemy of Yuzhai Zhenren, this jade slip is yours, and it can contain the old man's life's work! There is one Dan Fang of the Seventh-grade High-grade Pill, two Dan Recipes of the Seventh-grade Intermediate Pill, two Dan Recipes of the Seventh-grade Beginner Pill, three Dan Recipes of the Sixth-grade Top-Rank Pill, and five Dan Recipes of the Sixth-grade High-grade Pill, and I won't go into detail about the rest, you can take it back and take a good look at it yourself. ”
Zhan Chen listened to his words, and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Gu, your pill recipe is simply too important to me, the master only taught me part of his alchemy skills, and then disappeared, leaving only a jade slip, recording his ordinary refining techniques for pills, as well as some cases, one by one, you see, this is it." ”
Zhan Chen said as he took out the jade slip of "The First Essentials of Jade Zhai Alchemy", and secretly observed the expression on Gu He's face with the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, seeing that as soon as Na Guhe heard that there was an alchemy technique left by a strong person who entered the Dao, his face showed a look of ecstasy, and the look in his eyes was the same as when he looked at the jade slip he had, Zhan Chen was secretly proud in his heart.
"Zhan Chen, let's discuss, can we exchange this jade slip of yours for this one of mine?"
Zhan Chen shouted in his heart: "Of course I do!"
But on the surface, he wanted to pretend to be hesitant to beg for a beating, and seemed to be very embarrassed, saying: "The master once said that what was left to me cannot be easily passed on. ”
Guhe couldn't help but be anxious, and persuaded: "Virtuous nephew, don't worry, I will never give your master's Danfang to the second person, I just want to absorb and learn from it, you can rest assured." ”
"Alas, well, it's rare that Master Gu values me so much, today I will make my own decisions, and exchange the jade slip left by the master for you, I believe the master will also understand my decision." ”
Zhan Chen seems to have made a decision to hand over the "Yuzhai Alchemy Beginning" to Guhe, and Guhe also handed over the jade slip to him, which can be described as a great joy.
Even after leaving the Hongyun Auction House, Zhan Chen was still snickering, I really couldn't imagine that at the end of the day, a big pie fell from the sky, and he made such a big bargain deal, and he didn't have to worry about the lack of high-grade pills in the future!
Returning to the Shadow Peak, Zhan Chen excitedly took out the things he bought one by one and played with them, and couldn't put it down, especially the silver dragon kiss sword, which weighed more than 60,000 catties, and he could only lift it with his strength, and it was quite difficult to make it.
But Zhan Chen was still very interested, came to the woods, and used it to cast a set of Golden Hidden Sword Sutras, and immediately found that the sword qi he split out was a little different, and the "water ripple" attribute of the silver dragon kiss sword made the shape of the sword qi begin to bend and become soft, like whips, rhythmically "whipping" the nearby ground, trees, and rocks, leaving deep sword marks wherever they passed.
After the set of swords was cast, Zhan Chen felt a sore pain in his shoulder, but his mood was even more agitated. The Silver Jiao Dragon Kiss Sword made his strength more condensed, and his attacks more varied, making it more difficult for his opponent to deal with, and in this way, his combat power increased by at least fifty percent!
Back at home, Zhan Chen began to practice in retreat again, concentrating on the ground-level martial art "Sharp Broken Golden Slash".
The martial art of cutting the gold slash is completely taken from the meaning of "Jin Rui", and the artistic conception of the martial arts of the sharp is brought into full play, and the understanding of this sword duel is more like understanding the essence of the sword intent of the sharp, Zhan Chen indulges in the interpretation of the sword intent of the sharp sword in this sword recipe, and the understanding of "sharp" continues to deepen.
At the end, the jade Jane put forward the highest state of "sharpness", from "rigidity" to "softness", this "softness" is "rigid" to a kind of extreme, naturally generated, just like why steel knives are sharper than iron knives, because steel is more resilient than iron, and steel is more "soft" than iron.
This kind of paradoxical exposition is quite puzzling, and Zhan Chen can't figure it out after comprehending it for a long time.
One day, he suddenly remembered the scene when he used the Silver Jiaolong Kiss Sword to perform his swordsmanship, and the result at that time was that the sword qi that was split out did not seem to be so powerful and strong, but the actual lethality was greatly increased.
Yes, it is easy to fold if it is too rigid, and only with a hint of softness in the middle can the sharpness of the rigidity be brought into full play!
Realizing this, Zhan Chen suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that he had finally comprehended the martial art of "Sharp Broken Gold Slash".
He stood up suddenly, and decided to immediately test the power of "Sharp Broken Golden Slash".
He set off to a hill, facing a ten-meter-high boulder in front of him, slowly closed his eyes, mobilized the true yuan of his whole body, and when the momentum on his body climbed to the extreme, Zhan Chen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Slash!" The sword in his hand swung forward.
I saw that ten thousand silver lights suddenly bloomed on the silver dragon kiss sword, and a silver-white and shiny sword qi swooped towards the boulder, just like a dragon opening its huge mouth.
The sword was fast, like a bolt of light, and like a ray of light, flashing across the boulder, after which everything seemed to return to normal.
The boulder still stood there steadily, as if it had not changed at all, but when the careful person got closer, he would be horrified to find that there was an extra black "line" on the stone, only as thick as a toothpick, but it had just split the boulder in half.
Witnessing all this, Zhan Chen was completely shocked and muttered, "Is this the power of the Sharp Cutting Golden Slash, it's terrifying!"
Then, Zhan Chen put away his sword and went back, still thinking about the power of the sword just now: "The sword just now is definitely not the true power of the sharp golden slash, because I have only just mastered this sword duel, and the mid-grade sword of the ground level is definitely not so simple!"
He had a hunch that the power of this sword duel could still be increased, and the strength could be restricted, what kind of form would the sharp broken gold slash be at that time?
Zhan Chen didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't imagine it.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time to fully comprehend this sword technique, even the "Golden Hidden Sword Sutra" I haven't fully mastered it yet, and there is no simple martial art in the middle grade!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but sigh.
He thought again: "What I should do now is to improve my cultivation, as long as I break through one more layer and reach the realm of the Martial King's high level, then I don't have to be afraid of even the blood without a trace!"
Zhan Chen quickly established the direction of his future efforts, and hurried back to the cultivation room.
However, when he looked at the jade slip that Master Guhe exchanged with him, he smiled bitterly again and again: "Pity me, I'm really 'a clever woman is difficult to cook without rice', the pills that have a significant effect on me here, none of them need a large amount of elixir to refine, but unfortunately now I don't have the Yuan Stone, and the existing elixir can't make up all the medicinal materials needed to refine these elixirs, how can this be?!"
Zhan Chen only now realized that the current lack of Yuan Shi was the biggest crisis he was facing!
"I have no choice but to sell some of the elixir first, use the money to buy the elixir to make up enough medicinal materials for alchemy, and then refine the Nine Turns Golden Pill, and then take the Nine Turns Golden Pill to the Hongyun Auction House for auction, accumulate Yuan Stones, and tide over the crisis. He thought about it, and there was only one way.
So, in the next half a year, Zhan Chen had to become half a businessman, and he had to go to the Hongyun Auction House once a month to auction the elixir he had worked so hard to refine and earn yuan stones.
However, in this way, problems followed, first of all, alchemy consumed a lot of his energy, and if he lost the length of time, he would spend less time on cultivation; secondly, the goal of the Nine Turns Golden Pill was too big, and he kept getting it to auctions, which would inevitably attract people's attention, and Zhan Chen had already found himself beginning to be noticed by some people.
Therefore, he didn't want to go to Hongyun Auction House anymore, but in order to improve his cultivation at a high speed, he had to go.
After entering the middle rank of the Martial King, Zhan Chen found that the improvement of his cultivation became more and more difficult, for example, when the Martial King was at the first level, maybe he could feel that his true yuan had increased greatly as long as he took a sixth-grade mid-rank pill, but now that he was taking a sixth-grade high-grade metallic pill, he felt that his true yuan had not increased much.
This means that the efficiency of relying on pills to improve cultivation is decreasing, and breaking through the next realm, whether it is the time spent or the Yuan Stone consumed, it will be multiplied and exponentially increased.
In this way, Zhan Chen seemed to be completely in a dilemma, watching the time pass day by day, but his cultivation was improving as slowly as a turtle, what could be worse than this?
On this day, Zhan Chen, as usual, was alchemy in the cultivation room, but found that the transmission talisman in the room was shining one after another, and his heart moved: "This is someone visiting!"
Since the alchemy was just halfway through, Zhan Chen didn't think much about it, but chose to continue to focus on alchemy.
Three days later, Zhan Chen finally refined this pill smoothly, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and then he suddenly remembered that someone had visited three days ago.
"Who will come to me?" Zhan Chen's heart was full of doubts, he usually didn't have much communication, and then he shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid this person has already left." ”
Thinking like this, he went downstairs and pushed open the door of his house, but he was stunned on the spot, only to see a familiar beauty shadow standing in front of his door, and couldn't help but shout: "You are Lord Yingfeng!"
As soon as Ying Feng saw Zhan Chen, his face sank, and he sneered: "Zhan Chen, as soon as you enter the inner door, your shelf has grown, let me wait for three days!"
Zhan Chen smiled awkwardly and hurriedly made an excuse: "Wasn't I in retreat at the time? If I knew that it was you who came, how dare I do this." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you come with me right away!" Ying Feng said domineeringly.
