Chapter Twenty-Three: A Misunderstood
Niu Jingchun was reading a book at the moment, and her main alchemy knowledge was basically from books, because although martial artists needed pills, pills were still very scarce in the entire Earth Spirit Realm.
Because the probability of failure of the alchemy pill is extremely high in the first place, if there is a slight mistake in the fire, or the time has passed, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and the heavy one will directly destroy the pill in the whole furnace.
Moreover, the Dan furnace for refining medicine is also extremely difficult to find, and the general Dan furnace is a waste of money. If you encounter a rare high-level Dan furnace, those rich and powerful families may not be able to get their hands on it.
Dan furnace from bottom to last: yellow product, Xuan product, heavenly product, immortal product, divine product. The more high-level the Dan Furnace, the more difficult it is to find, and the general Immortal Pill Furnace is controlled by the royal family or the powerful demon clan.
There is only one Xuan-level Dan furnace in the entire Qingniu Clan, because Niu Ang, as one of the clan elders, knows a little alchemy, but it is only a few skins.
Therefore, this Xuanjie Dan furnace is also used for Niu Jingchun to learn alchemy, and there are few alchemists in the entire Qingniu clan, and most of the alchemists are in the human race, because the human race is easier to master the art of alchemy.
In alchemy, only alchemists with stronger levels of strength can avoid as few mistakes as possible, and only under the dual effects of experience and strength can they truly refine good pills.
And once a mistake occurs, it will cause the loss of many valuable spirit grasses, and ordinary martial artists can't stand this huge loss, and the value of spirit grass is also very expensive.
In addition, although all kinds of spiritual grasses are born between heaven and earth, they are also extremely rare, and the natural environment required is extremely harsh, and high-grade spiritual grasses need many years of growth and evolution to produce.
The spirit herb is a rare thing, and the high-level elixir is even rarer and rarer, and the spirit grass also has a grade, which is also the same as the Dan furnace, from the bottom to the last: yellow product, Xuan product, heavenly product, immortal product, and divine product.
Only Feng Shui treasures where the aura gathers will grow, and it is extremely difficult to obtain, requiring many professional skills and tools to collect.
For example, many high-level elixirs can actively avoid picking, or go underground, or hide their bodies, and even psychic spirit grasses have a certain degree of aggression.
The difficulty of collecting medicine is extremely high, unless you have relevant experience, otherwise the success rate is very low. If the technique is not mastered well, the light one will damage the spirit grass and destroy the medicinal properties, and the heavy one will directly lose the whole plant's elixir.
It is precisely because the medicine is difficult to find, so there are very few alchemists, and it is generally difficult to support it without rich family support, and the investment required in the early stage is astronomical for some families.
If an alchemist can be cultivated, the family's financial resources will be greatly improved, and even the entire Earth Spirit Realm will have great prestige and prestige.
But as long as the alchemist has enough ability, the status of the alchemist in the earth spirit world is extremely high, and it is precisely because things are rare and precious, so they are all highly respected, such as Yin Long, the national teacher of the Han Kingdom, is a very powerful alchemist.
Although his strength is not the strongest, it is precisely because of his superb alchemy skills that he enjoys a transcendent status above ten thousand people under one person, and the root cause is his identity as an alchemist.
Alchemists are scarce, and high-level elixirs are even more difficult to find, like many high-level elixirs, many clans are throwing a lot of money, but it is still difficult to find.
Elixir also has grades, all according to the grade of the elixir to determine the level of the elixir, different levels of the elixir refined by the spirit grass are also very different, from low to high are: yellow product, Xuan Pin, Heavenly product, immortal product, divine product.
Some extremely powerful alchemists are even able to use low-level spirit grass to refine higher-level elixirs because of their rich experience, and such talents are among the few in the entire Earth Spirit Realm.
The higher the level of the elixir, the higher the level of the spirit grass required, and only the spirit grass with a higher level and more abundant spiritual energy can refine a higher level of elixir.
The error rate of high-level elixirs is also higher than that of ordinary elixirs, and even increases exponentially.
High-level pills require not only high-level spirit grass, but also high-level pill furnaces, and more importantly, the right time, place, and people need to gather many factors.
Therefore, for example, many alchemists and users of high-level spiritual grass did not dare to open the furnace, for fear that it would cause huge losses, so they would rather sell it in pain than take risks.
Generally, powerful alchemists will be attracted by the family and serve the family family, and they are basically monopolized by the major forces.
On the one hand, the family clan can provide a more high-level spirit grass pill furnace, and on the other hand, it can also give alchemists more favorable conditions and provide more protection.
The two coexist in harmony, and it is also a combination of the strong, which is that the strong are getting stronger and the weak are getting weaker and weaker.
If the weak want to improve their strength, they can only rely on their own accumulation over the years and continue to cultivate hard, while the family clan often has the support of strong strength and the supply of elixir, and its strength is much faster than that of the children of the poor family.
It is often used by people that a pill can offset your decades of hard work, so it is often extremely difficult for the poor to deal with the noble son.
Niu Jingchun wants to learn the art of elixir, but she lacks a famous teacher, she has always wanted to worship Lingyuan Shangxian as a teacher, but Lingyuan Shangxian refuses in every way.
And there is only one Niu Angluo in the clan, but Niu Jinglu has already learned some basic skills, and the help he can provide does not exist.
It is even more unlikely that other tribes will help, and they are outwardly allies, but behind the scenes they are constantly competing with each other, and it is impossible to expect help from others in these areas.
In terms of key core technologies, we still have to rely on ourselves, not others, and everyone is unreliable.
For a long time, Lingyuan Shangxian has always shirked his talent and shallow learning, but Niu Jingyun felt from the bottom of her heart that Lingyuan's alchemy strength was even stronger than that of Yin Long, the great master of the Han Kingdom.
Because his strength is not only unfathomable, but also his origin is mysterious, no one knows where he came from, but Niu Jingyun feels that he can even be sure: Lingyuan Shangxian must be from the legendary mysterious Heavenly Spirit Realm!
The title they are in is the Earth Spirit Realm, and the strongest person in the Earth Spirit Realm is only the strength of refining the ninth rank of the Qi Moon Rank like his father, but the strength of the Spirit Yuan is indeed unfathomable.
The Heavenly Spirit Realm has always been in the legend, where any martial artist who comes to the Earth Spirit Realm can be regarded as a master of fixed inspection, but the Earth Spirit Realm is short of materials, the aura is thin, and no martial artist in the Heavenly Spirit Realm is willing to come.
It is even more legendary that there is an enchantment between the Earth Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Spirit Realm, which ordinary people cannot cross at all, and if they forcibly cross, even the powerhouses of the Heavenly Spirit Realm will be wiped out.
When he preached to his disciples, he would talk about the realms of practicing qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and refining voids and merging the Dao, which she had never heard of.
Not to mention that he has seen such a strong person, but Niu Jingyun speculated that the Lingyuan Shangxian is such a strong person, and even as long as he wants, he can take the Earth Spirit Realm into his pocket.
His origin is mysterious, no one knows what he came to the Earth Spirit Realm for, and no one really knows him, but when they stare at him, it is like staring into the abyss.
The more I wanted to understand him, the more I felt that he was mysterious, such a powerful and mysterious person, if he could learn alchemy from him, his future would be limitless.
But such a powerful person kept saying that he was only a shallow learner and couldn't be his master, which couldn't help but make Niu Jingchun feel very distressed.
He could only ask him some questions from time to time, and from time to time he mischievously mentioned the matter of apprenticeship. The questions he asked, Ling Yuan was always able to penetrate into the inside to solve her doubts.
It can be seen that Ling Yuan's understanding of the pill is not as shallow as he said, but unfathomable. But as soon as he talked about apprenticeship, he immediately denied it.
Niu Jingyun had to constantly flip through ancient books, consult dictionaries, and rummage through books to find knowledge. She only hopes that she will be able to treat her father's illness as soon as possible.
While she was meditating, his brother Niu Mu drove to her room in a menacing manner, saw that she was still reading, and said: "Sister Chun, are you embarrassing Brother Chen, as soon as he talks about it, you are very afraid." ”
Niu Jingchun was thinking when she was interrupted by her brother, and she was already a little angry, but when she heard what Niu Mu said, she was a little dumbfounded for a while.
She was stunned for a moment, and some didn't react. Seeing her expression, Niu Mu thought that he had guessed it, and continued: "This little junior disciple is a little straight, you tease him but he is a little straight, and he may not be able to accept it..."
He also felt in his heart that it was this naughty little sister who provoked Li Chen, that kid has always been a little wooden, even if he teased him, he might not be able to react.
He wanted to continue, but the more Niu Jingyun listened, the more wrong he became, and directly interrupted him: "When did I tease him, how could I?"
Niu Mu saw that she was unrepentant, so he said, "It wasn't the junior brother who told me, otherwise how would I know?"
Niu Jingyun was not only aggrieved for a while, but also a little angry, these days he has been accompanying him to visit the clan land, treating him as a younger brother and as a family member, how can he spread rumors and frame her like this?
He thought he was simple and honest, but he didn't want him to slander her behind her back like this, she was full of anger, and she felt that this little brother's behavior was too much.
He glared at Niu Mu and said, "Did he tell you that?" He said that I was playing tricks on him?" She was still a little incredulous, he didn't think Li Chen was a liar.
Niu Mu said: "Although he didn't say it explicitly, but that's what he meant, otherwise why would he be afraid of you, you can't do this." ”
Niu Jingchun felt that this harmless little guy would still spread rumors at this time, and what was the purpose of what he was doing this, and what was the point?
The good impression of him was suddenly swept away, how could Li Chen be like this!
He was a little angry, glared at Niu Mu and said, "Go, go to him and confront him, I don't know when I played tricks on him." ”
Niu Mu also felt that it was good to make the confrontation clear, after all, there was a problem that had to be solved, and he didn't want these little things to ruin their relationship. He also felt that there was a misunderstanding here, and it was better to solve the misunderstanding.
Then he said, "Then let's go together." Niu Jingyun nodded, and the two walked towards Li Chen's room in a menacing manner.
