"How is it, Brother Yuting?" Lan Xiao asked, looking nervous, but also with anticipation, fear, panic, and various looks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't know. Yu Ting's answer was the same.

"Still don't know?" Lan Xiao was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Hey, yes. Yu Ting was no longer excited, only helpless, and replied slowly: "The new Elemental Spirit Gathering Array can indeed greatly increase the speed of absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stone, but it is still far from enough!"

It turned out that after a few days of testing, he found that the speed at which he was absorbing the spiritual power in the spirit stone and transforming it into his own true qi was indeed a hundred times faster than that of not using the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array, but it was still far from enough, because what he needed was ten thousand times faster.

With a little calculation, he came to the conclusion that at the current rate of absorbing spiritual power, if he cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building, it was estimated that he would need tens of millions of spirit stones, and it would take about five hundred years. If the absorption rate can be increased to 10,000 times faster, it will only take five years.

Five hundred years? Yu Ting only smiled bitterly, and he had already turned into loess.

"Brother Yuting. Lan Xiao listened to Yu Ting's explanation, and his heart was cold to the freezing point, but he still persuaded: "You have just started using it, you can find another way." ”

"yes, I'll figure it out again. Yu Ting's face was depressed, and he smiled bitterly: "But it is impossible to refine again, the Feihong Stone has been used up, and we have to find a way from other aspects." ”

"There will be a good way, I believe you!" Lan Xiao said, but his tone was obviously low.

。。。

After that, every day, Yu Ting still had to use this elemental spirit gathering array to cultivate, after all, he could still improve his cultivation a little bit.

In fact, he also knew that the person who created the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array did not break his promise, and he could speed up the absorption speed by a hundred times, which was already very amazing. This Spirit Gathering Array would be an excellent tool if it were used by ordinary Foundation Stage monks. However, for ordinary monks, there will also be a lot of risks, mainly because this method of increasing cultivation similar to the infusion body requires a high level of mental strength and physique, and most people cannot afford it.

And for Yu Ting now, this bit of power didn't even feel the slightest bit into his body, so he wasn't happy at all, because what he needed was a violent storm-like force to enter his body.

The following things have also become simpler, that is, to cultivate every day, and at the same time rack their brains to use various formations and other means to increase the speed of absorbing spiritual power. After many attempts, it did improve, but in the end, after nearly doubling the speed, it was difficult to show any signs of improvement.

The days became more and more dull, and the communication between the two began to become less and less, because Yu Ting hardly ever went out of the secret room.

There was basically no smile on Lan Xiao's face.

The number of times the two have made out in a year is only a handful.

"Brother Yu Ting, have you found a way?" Lan Xiao asked, this was a rare time for her to see her husband in the past year, and she usually didn't dare to go to the secret room to find him.

"There's still no way to increase the speed, it looks like we've reached the top. Let's do it first. Yu Ting replied with a heavy face.

"Why don't you take the pill and use it together?" Lan Xiao suggested.

"Well, yes, I'm thinking about practicing alchemy. Yu Ting nodded: "I'll go to Danding Courtyard tomorrow." ”

"Ah, that's a way. ”

"I don't have the talent for alchemy, but I can only try. ”

"Will you be there permanently?"

"Probably. ”

"Okay. . . All right. ”

。。。

In the next two years, Yuting basically lived in Danding Courtyard, and only returned to Lanyufu three times during this period.

Shan Xizhi was naturally very happy that Yu Ting could also come to pester him, but it was obviously not the same desire as he was more than sixty years ago, because although he was still the dean of the Danding Academy, everyone knew that the current number one alchemist of the sect was Pu Quan, and his status was unmatched.

Pu Quan doesn't come to Danding Courtyard often, which makes Yu Ting feel a little more comfortable. In the few times he met him, Pu Quan was very polite on the surface, although there was a look of schadenfreude in his eyes, but he was more afraid. He knew that Yu Ting, now in a fit of rage, would still be able to kill him quickly.

But what made Yu Ting extremely depressed was that the result of his efforts to practice alchemy in the past two years was only one conclusion, that is, he was indeed not an alchemy material. In the past two years, not to mention the pills used by the monks in the foundation building period, even the Peizhen Pill, which is the most common among the disciples in the Spirit Stage, he used Xuan Tou Ding to refine it, and the success rate was lower than that of any ordinary alchemist in the Danding Academy.

The pills used by the monks in the foundation building period, such as the Wuji Pill, he had never refined any of them.

"Ah, Brother Yuting, you're back!" Lan Xiao shouted happily.

It's been a long time since she's seen Yuting, it's been almost a year, right?

"Well, I'll come back and get something, and I'll go to Danding Courtyard in a while. Yu Ting replied with an ugly face.

"Brother Yuting, can you stay at home for two days? stay with me, I'm so lonely. And I really want to go and soak in the spiritual spring.,With.。。 With you. ”

"I have to work hard to practice alchemy, I don't have time. ”

"Can't you spare two days?"

"It's a long day, two days is nothing. ”

"But if it goes on like this, I'm so scared, Brother Yuting. ”

"It's okay, I'm sure I'll be able to find a way to improve my cultivation quickly. ”

"You don't even call me Lan Mei anymore, I'm really scared. ”

"Blue. . . Blue Sister, I. ”

"Woo. ”

。。。

Yu Ting continued to practice the art of alchemy in the Danding Academy, and he believed that with his efforts, even if his talent was not enough, sooner or later there would be a breakthrough.

In the past three years, his alchemy has indeed made some progress, and after a lot of hard work, he finally refined the first Wuji Pill.

In the Qiyun Sect, only the Yu Ting could have this status, and materials were constantly wasted in the Danding Courtyard for several years. If it was another disciple, he would have been blasted out of the courtyard by Shan Xizhi a long time ago.

On this day, he felt a little happy in his heart, and he rarely returned to the Blue Language Mansion.

"Sister Lan, I have finally refined the first Wuji Pill, you see. Yu Ting showed a smile in front of Lan Xiao that he had rarely seen in many years, holding a pill in his hand that he used to eat like a meal.

"Yes, then congratulations to Brother Yu Ting!" Lan Xiao also showed a smile that had been rare for many years.

"I am confident that I will be able to improve my alchemy level again soon. Yu Ting said, looking firm, but he knew in his heart that it was actually difficult and difficult.

"I believe in you too. Lan Xiao said, but lowered his head.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you, don't you believe me?" Seeing Lan Xiao's demeanor, Yu Ting felt something strange and hurriedly asked.

"Of course I believe you. Lan Xiao still lowered his head and replied softly.

"Then why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Yu Ting hurriedly asked.

"I... I have something to tell you. Lan Xiao finally made up his mind and raised his head.

"What's the matter, tell me. Yu Ting's heart tightened, some doubts, and some worries.

"I'm already feeling the bottleneck of the fake pill period. Lan Xiao whispered.

"Well, that's a good thing, you should be happy. Yu Ting breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"But... Lan Xiao wanted to speak and stopped.

"I don't care, as long as Lan Mei's cultivation has improved. Yu Ting smiled, but he was indeed a little disappointed and a little panicked in his heart.

"I know that Brother Yu Tingge is good to me. It's just that I have to retreat for a while. Lan Xiao continued to whisper, without the slightest excitement on his face, but more uneasiness.

"It's okay, I'm working hard to practice the elixir technique anyway. Yu Ting did not hesitate.

"But I want to go to Zhuyue Peak for retreat. Lan Xiao's voice lowered.

"What!?" Yu Ting was taken aback when he heard this, and his heart sank even more, and he immediately asked, "Why is this, is Lan Yufu not good?"

"Of course the Blue Language House is good. Lan Xiao raised his head and looked around before he said, "But I'm having a hard time here now, and I'm worried that I'll have problems when I advance." A few days ago, I went to find Senior Sister Li Mo, and she also said that she felt the bottleneck of the fake pill, so she suggested that I go to Zhuyue Peak, and the two of us can still communicate with each other. ”

"Uncomfortable in the Blue Language Mansion?" Yu Ting heard and muttered to himself.

"Brother Yuting, I know it's not good to say this, but this is my true feeling in my heart, I hope you don't get angry. Lan Xiao panicked, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"I understand. Yu Ting calmed down, knowing that he had brought a lot of depression to his wife in the past few years.

"Brother Yuting, don't worry, I will come back to see you often. Lan Xiao saw that Yu Ting was silent, and hurriedly came over and took his hand.

"No, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and I will work hard to refine the pill. Yu Ting knew that it was best for Lan Xiao to go to Zhuyue Peak, and it was indeed not good for him to not go home for a long time.

"Then thank you for your understanding. Lan Xiao saw that Yu Ting had eased his mind, so he opened his mouth to thank him.

"It's good for you, how could I object. Yu Ting barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"I know that Brother Yu Tingge is good to me. Lan Xiao also smiled slightly: "I still have a Biyuan Pill you gave me here to use." ”

"Oh, that's it. Yu Ting was also in a better mood.

"Senior Sister Li Mo wants me to go over as soon as possible, I thought I would go over tomorrow. Lan Xiao continued: "But it just so happens that you are back, so I will stay with you for one more day." ”

"Oh, okay, Lan Mei, you really understand me. ”

"Are you willing to call me Blue Sister again!?"

"That's what I've always called you. ”

"Then I'm mistaken. ”

"Then I'll take two days off. ”

"Okay. Are we right now? ”

"Are you going to soak in the spiritual spring?"

"I listened to Brother Ting. ”

"Then go ahead. ”

。。。

Two days later, Lan Xiao moved to Zhuyue Peak and began the retreat of the False Pill Period. Generally, such retreats will be several years, and the duration is long, like Zhang Zhishao, who failed to attack the fake pill and fell, and has been in retreat for nearly 100 years.

In the following three years, Yu Ting still continued to refine the Dan Room day and night, and the success rate of refining the Wuji Pill also increased, gradually reaching the level of an ordinary disciple of the Danding Academy. But if you want to refine some high-grade pills, such as the Black Dew Pill, then don't even think about it.

Yu Ting actually had a lot of medicinal materials on his body, except for some that he had taken from some enemies, mainly a large number of medicinal materials obtained from the desert oasis of the Feihong Secret Realm, which he had left behind after Tang Kai had collected them. He didn't know any of these herbs, but he knew in his heart that they must be good things. Especially now that he has been soaking in Danding Courtyard for so many years, he has gained a lot of knowledge of medicinal materials, and he still can't see what they are, so he knows that these medicinal materials must be extraordinary.

He once took out a spirit grass and tried to make it identify by Shan Xi. Dean Shan was shocked when he saw it, and said that he didn't know him, but he couldn't even tell how old it was. And carefully asked Yu Ting, do you want to look at Pu Quan, of course Yu Ting denied.

Therefore, his hope became that if he could have great attainments in alchemy, and then use these medicinal materials to refine the pills for his own use in the future, he would definitely be able to refine a lot of good things that could increase his cultivation.

Of course, over the years, he hadn't forgotten to continue to use the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array to increase his cultivation a little bit, and he still had a good place to go, which was the mid-grade spirit stone mine. Now the mining of this mineral deposit has stopped, because the sect has completely given the right to use it to Yu Ting under Wen Li's hint, and he can already use the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array to directly absorb the spiritual power on the mine in the cave not far from the mine. It's just that he doesn't really want to practice there, because every time he sees so many spirit stones, he can't transform them into his own cultivation, but he is even more depressed.

There are not many people in the sect who know about this mineral deposit, they are all high-level people, plus Yang Peng and Chang Lian, who are involved in mining. But Zhang Wutong said that Pu Quan also knew, which made Yu Ting's heart unhappy again. Of course, according to Pu Quan's status, he should know about this, but he always feels that he should be an outsider. However, after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved, this mineral deposit is now only used by himself, will it make this guy Puquan feel very unhappy? If so, he will feel a little more happy.

But it didn't take long for Shan Xizhi to say something to Yu Ting, but it made him feel extremely unhappy.

"Senior Brother Yu, I have to tell you something. Shan Xizhi said to Yu Ting with a little hesitation: "The senior brothers of the Quanling Array Academy all know about it. It was Elder Pu Quan who revealed a few days ago that he had refined a few pills for Senior Sister Lan and Master Li Mofeng to help them advance to the Fake Pill Stage. I know you'll find out sooner or later, but I'm going to risk being a bad guy to tell you about it. I hope you can stay calm, and Elder Pu is also good for everyone. ”

"What!?" Yu Ting's mind was almost full of indescribable things scurrying around when he heard this, and the most of them should be anger.

"Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Yu, what's wrong with you!?" Shan Xizhi was also startled when he saw that Yu Ting had stayed motionless for a long time.

"I'll take my leave. Yu Tingteng stood up, and the human form flashed and disappeared into the room.

"Hey, Senior Brother Yu, where are you going?" Shan Xizhi was even more startled, and hurriedly asked, but Yu Ting's figure was long gone.

。。。

In the Zhuyue Hall of Zhuyue Peak, there were four people sitting, Yu Ting and Lan Xiao, Bai Yan and Li Mo.

"Senior Brother Yu knows about this?" Li Mo asked Yu Ting unhurriedly.

"Yes. Yu Ting suppressed his anger and said, "I want to know if this is what Senior Sister Li means, or if Sister Lan means you." ”

Lan Xiao kept his head down, not daring to speak, and now seeing Yu Ting's tone of questioning, he didn't dare to speak.

"That's what I meant. Li Mo replied without changing his face: "Of course, Lan'er also agreed." ”

"Sister Lan, do you agree?" Yu Ting's eyes were already bloody.

"Hmm... Lan Xiao didn't look up, and said in a low voice: "I agreed, but Brother Yuting, you have to understand, I can't help it." Lan Xiao suddenly raised his head, and his voice became a little louder.

"There's no way around it again. Yu Ting gritted his teeth.

"Senior Brother Yu, don't be angry yet. Li Mo motioned him to calm down: "Even if you are angry, you are angry with me." I'll tell you about the situation first, and it's not too late for you to get angry again. Lan Er is affected by you, and now her promotion is very unstable, and she quickly failed on her first attempt, and the Biyuan Pill she gave her has also been used. If this continues, she will be in the later stage of the promotion to the foundation building, not only will she not be able to advance, but she may also be killed. Senior Brother Yu, would you like to see Lan'er achieve such a result? Even if you are willing, I am not willing. Besides, Pu Quan has now restrained a lot, and he is also very polite to me, and he doesn't have the same demeanor as before. ”

"Hmph, I think he's afraid I'll kill him. Yu Ting snorted coldly.

"No matter what his purpose is, it's important to save Lan'er first. Li Mo said: "Besides, even if he has a strong purpose, as long as you can successfully advance to the high level, you don't have to be afraid of him or anything." ”

But as soon as she said this, she knew that she was wrong.

Sure enough, Yu Ting's voice responded much louder: "His purpose must be to wait for a hundred years to see me die, right? But before that, I will kill him first." ”

"Brother Yuting. Lan Xiao's face turned pale with fright, and she cried in a low voice.

"Senior Brother Yu, don't get excited!" Seeing this, Bai Yan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, hurriedly dissuaded Yu Ting, and then said to Li Mo: "Senior sister, there is something wrong with you." At the very least, you should discuss it with Senior Brother Yu first. ”

"Hmph, discuss with him first, do you think he will agree?" Li Mo ignored Bai Yan and continued to say to Yu Ting: "I know that Senior Brother Yu is uncomfortable, but this is really for Lan'er's good. As long as she's safe and sound, I haven't done anything wrong. ”

"Well, it's me who is incompetent. Of course, Yu Ting knew that he couldn't say anything that could make them change, unless he could also take out Pu Quan's elixir, so he turned to Lan Xiao: "Sister Lan, you can still change now, as long as you promise not to ask for Pu Quan's things in the future." ”

"Brother Yuting. Lan Xiao continued to sob, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it." I'm so scared of the loneliness of you not coming home every day, and I can't make the cut now, I'm afraid I'll die on the way to the cut. ”

"Then you mean that you will go on like this in the future?" Yu Ting asked with a trembling heart.

Lan Xiao's body was also trembling constantly, sobbing: "I'm really scared, we can't be together like this." If you haven't been able to advance, it's only been a hundred years. I can't imagine it. Whining.. ”

"Well, in that case, I see. Yu Ting nodded, got up and said, "Then I wish Senior Sister Lan and Senior Sister Li an early promotion to the Fake Dan." I'll take my leave. ”

After speaking, the figure shook and disappeared.

"Senior Brother Yu, wait!"

"Brother Yuting, don't go!"
