It took two full days for Tang Lang to finally refine all thirty parts of Zhicao Pill. When refining to the twelfth time, he finally kept the pill level above the ordinary level, and if it was known by the people of the Alchemy Association, he didn't know what kind of sensation it would cause.

Called all the team members to their side, and each of them was given a bottle of ten Zhicao Pills, explaining that everyone must practice strictly every night, and cooperate with the Spirit Gathering Array and the pill to quickly improve their cultivation to the upper limit allowed by the competition.

The competition system requires that the team members of each academy must be composed of ten people, of which at least four or more apprentices must be trainees, and the rest of the members cannot exceed five-rank martial artists or spellers. Therefore, Tang Lang specially told Di Kunpeng, Wei Yuankui, Rong Xingzhou, and Zhao Feiyu that they must stop when they reach the critical point of apprentice promotion.

And Tang Lang himself finally found the time to improve his cultivation to the fullest, his dantian and Zhihai had to practice at the same time, and they also had to compress the spirit vortex, one Zhicao Pill could allow the apprentice to cultivate to directly produce two spiritual vortexes, but for him, it was necessary to take three Zhicao Dan in a row to generate a compressed martial arts spirit vortex and spell spirit vortex at the same time, so it would take almost two bottles of pills to reach the ninth grade apprentice.

The reason why he deliberately suppressed the cultivation of the nine-rank apprentice, Tang Lang had his own plans: on the one hand, it was because of the strong and powerful forces in the competition competition, and he could gain some advantages by participating in the apprenticeship cultivation, and the spirit whirlpool after his compression was not inferior to the five-rank martial artist or speller; on the other hand, he didn't expect Zhao Feiyu to play much of a role in the competition, and the four apprentice places could only be occupied by himself.

Five days later, Ji Fengyu and the man in black came to Duojin Tower to inspect everyone's training, looking at the churning breath that everyone couldn't hide, they trembled with anger: "Tang Lang, what's going on? Why are you all cultivating so outrageously like you've taken medicine!"

Tang Lang thought that the mentor was shocked by the sudden rise of everyone's cultivation, and replied with a smile: "Mentor, you did take the pill, how can you see it!"

"Where did you get the elixir? Who gave it to you?"

"Mentor Ji, the pills are all refined by the captain himself, you don't know, the captain has been certified as an alchemy apprentice......" Wei Yuankui also came up and behaved.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Ji Fengyu was so angry that he scolded: "You stupid people who don't know the height of the sky, who told you that you can blindly improve your cultivation with pills!

Hearing Ji Fengyu's harsh words, Tang Lang reacted a little badly: "Mentor, the pill was given to you by me, what went wrong!"

The man in black lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "You guys, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have made such a big noise......

Listening to the man in black explain the reason, Tang Lang and the others understood the problem: cultivation and realm must complement each other, and every improvement of cultivation requires the whole body to adapt and adjust from the inside out, otherwise there will be confusion between the two, it is not obvious when it is at the low level, and it will appear when it reaches the high level.

Ji Fengyu sneered: "Now you understand, your current situation is like a child, the strength is suddenly big enough to wield a hundred catties of sledgehammer, but the blood and internal organs can't withstand such a pull, and in the end, the qi and blood are lost, forming a dark disease that cannot be recovered, and the cultivation will not only not progress, but will regress significantly, and even reduce the longevity." ”

"Ah......" Tang Lang's heart was full of deep self-blame: "Although I have good intentions, if I really let the team members' cultivation stagnate or even regress from now on, I can't make up for my mistakes at all!"

"Mentor, senior, there must be some remedy, right? As long as there is a way, I must be responsible for eliminating hidden dangers for everyone!" After getting along for a long time, Tang Lang has already regarded the team members as brothers, his eyes are slightly red, and he asks for a solution.

"What's the use of being anxious now! You are really capable, go and get an alchemy apprentice quietly, and give everyone a bottle, and you will solve the trouble by yourself!" Ji Fengyu's face turned pale, and he complained to Tang Lang for a while.

"Boss, I don't blame you, you're all for everyone's good!" the rest of the team comforted him, and they didn't feel resentment because of this.

Tang Lang could only look at the man in black for help, and after a while, the man in black spoke: "The bell must be tied to the bell man, and the trouble caused by the pill can only be solved by the pill! ”

"And then there's going to be a solution, right?"

"After the brainstorming of many people, and finally the participation of several alchemy masters, two kinds of pills were finally developed, one is the strong muscles and bones for those who learn martial arts, and the other is the Divine Enhancement and Wisdom Pill for those who practice mantras. If you don't grow your cultivation too fast and your body can't adapt, then strengthen your muscles and bones and your divine consciousness respectively, so that your realm and cultivation will be consistent again!"

After Tang Lang listened, he bowed deeply to the man in black, turned his head and walked out.

"Boss, where are you going?" the team members hurriedly stopped.

Tang Lang said: "Since it is a Danfang, you can only find it by going to the Alchemy Association." I'm going to go to Steward Pu for help, everyone is waiting for my news here! I will definitely cure everyone, don't worry!"

"Tang Lang, why are you here?" Pu Gaofei heard that Tang Lang was visiting, and hurriedly walked out of the room, fortunately, he did not open the furnace for alchemy this time, otherwise it would be scrapped again.

"Steward Pu, do you know the Muscle Strengthening Bone Pill and the Increasing Mind and Wisdom Pill?" Tang Lang was anxious, and when he came up, he directly asked about Dan Fang's whereabouts.

"Ah, you refined the spirit grass into pills and ate them all?" Pu Gaofei knew bad things as soon as he heard him inquire about the whereabouts of these two pills.

"Not only me, but I also improved the cultivation of the team members, and each of them ate a full ten!" Tang Lang shook his head and sighed.

"Blame me!" Pu Gaofei blamed himself: "I was shocked by your alchemy performance that day, and I completely forgot about this matter. These two elixirs, I naturally know!"

Seeing that the elixir had landed, Tang Lang's heart calmed down a little, but then the other party's words raised his heart to his throat: "But these two elixirs are not commonly used, and the spirit grass needed is very rare, and the kingdom branch may not have reserves, and we don't have them here!"

"How is this good?" With only Danfang, no spirit grass or nothing, Tang Lang began to be anxious again.

"Don't worry!

"Can you not be in a hurry! I heard that the hidden dangers caused by swallowing pills like this will become more difficult to eradicate the longer it drags on. ”

Pu Gaofei stroked the long beard on his chin, frowned and said, "The spirit grass you need is actually available in Canglei City, but it's just ......"

"What's it? No matter what the cost, I'm going to get two pills. Steward Pu, tell me quickly......"

"Do you know why our yard is full of all kinds of commonly used spirit grasses?" Pu Gaofei pointed to the spirit grass in the garden with his finger, sighed and said, "It's all because I didn't pay much attention to what I said before, and I offended the local manager of the Spirit Plant Association......

As a seven-skill auxiliary skill, the Spirit Plant Association naturally has an office in Canglei City, and the steward's name is Du Jisong, who is a junior spirit plant master, not only good at cultivating all kinds of spirit grass, but also has a deep affection for all kinds of plants such as flowers and trees.

It turned out to be a dispute between the two of them when they were chatting, Pu Gaofei thought that in addition to the spirit grass that could be alchemized, ordinary plants had no value at all, and they were not worth caring for at all.

Tang Lang had seen the actions of some environmentalists in his previous life, and he absolutely hated people who couldn't take care of the environment or small animals, so he could understand Du Jisong's reaction.

"Why don't you take me to apologize to Steward Du?" Otherwise, how can so many of us rely on this little spiritual grass in the yard!" Tang Lang said tentatively.

Pu Gaofei snorted coldly from his nostrils: "Let me apologize to that old stubborn, no way! Anyway, the situation has been explained to you, if you can't get the spirit grass to rely on yourself, at most I can help you open the furnace for alchemy." ”

Tang Lang was left alone in the yard, thought for a long time, asked someone for the address of the Ming Lingzhi Association, and went to ask for help alone.

Because the Spirit Plant Association wants to cultivate a wide variety of plants, it did not arrange a station in Canglei City, but built a forest garden covering an area of dozens of acres outside the city.

"Uncle, this is the Spirit Plant Association, right?" Tang Lang saw that there were two farmers at the gate of Lin Yuan who were rolling up their trouser legs and wielding hoes to cultivate saplings, and went up to inquire about the news.

One of the fair-skinned farmers replied with a smile, "Little brother, what are you doing in our Spirit Plant Association?"

Tang Lang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turns out that the two uncles are the spirit planters of the Spirit Plant Association, which is rude!"

Another dark-faced man waved impatiently and said, "No need for all this red tape. Go inside, there is someone inside to receive you!Old Song, you want to be lazy again, and the steward also asks us to plant fifty seedlings today, move faster......"

The Lingzhi Master surnamed Song smiled at Tang Lang, motioned for him to go in by himself, and continued to wield the hoe and the black-faced uncle to continue to work.

"It turns out that these spirit planters are like gardeners or gardeners in previous lives!" Tang Lang muttered to himself as he walked, passing through a low shrub and coming to a row of thatched huts.

A young man who was similar to his own boy greeted him: "Hello, what kind of spirit grass do you want to buy? You can only use spars to buy spirit grass here, and no gold coins are charged." ”

With a professional smile on the young man's face, Tang Lang reported the name of the required spiritual grass: "I want the big golden flower, licorice fern, bitter violet, and night fragrant magnolia!"
