388. Nine grades and eighteen grades
Ye Ning's residence is a very quiet small courtyard, located in a living area near the Star Picking Tower, where almost all the alchemy refining masters of the Star Picking Building live, but there is no intersection with each other, at least in the living area.
There are no auxiliary personnel such as idle servants arranged at home, if needed, you can hire them, Juxian City has a place that specializes in providing this kind of auxiliary talents, in fact, it is also composed of all kinds of immortal cultivators, and while providing services, they are also cultivating.
The alchemy room selected for Ye Ning is located on the thirty-ninth floor of the Star Picking Building, which is also a very quiet small courtyard, and it is said that the entire Star Picking Building is from the thirty-sixth floor to the forty-second floor, all of which belong to the alchemy area.
The thirty-ninth layer alone, with Ye Ning's eyesight at this time, if he didn't borrow the divine sense of the Qingxu Divine Bead, he wouldn't be able to spy on the entire area, and he wouldn't know how big it was at all! How many alchemists have to be arranged here for alchemy?
So, Ye Ning asked Jinyu and Yueli, who led the way for him: "Is Xingxinglou the main elixir business?" ”
Yue Lishang was the first time to come to Juxian City, and for the affairs of the Star Picking Tower, Jinyu introduced it to her as she walked, so naturally she couldn't say anything about these things, and when she heard Ye Ning ask, she turned her eyes to Jinyu beside her.
Jinyu didn't know the origin of Ye Ning's true identity, but he could see that this young man who came with the chief inspector seemed to be very valued by the chief inspector, whether it was a residence or an alchemy room, they were all settled according to the level of a top grandmaster, although there were not many talents like Xinglou, but Ye Ning's age was still too young, which was a manifestation of strength in the immortal cultivation world.
So. Originally, the content that still needed to be kept secret was more or less revealed to Ye Ning. After all, there is also the chief inspector's personal maid Yue Li, and she is not worried about what will go wrong: "The industry operated by the Star Picking Building is very complex. The proportion of the pill business is very small, less than one thousandth, but it is an indispensable link, and the only thing that Juxian City really has the strength to do the main pill is the industry of Lishan or Danqi Sect. ”
Ye Ning knew almost nothing about the six holy lands, so he naturally didn't know if Lishan could really compete with the Danqi Sect in terms of alchemy, but since Jinyu said so, presumably Lishan's alchemy would definitely not be bad, and he would be able to create a sect like the Seven Tricks Exquisite Pill. How can it be simple? In this way, there should be something unique about leaving the mountain on the way to alchemy.
As if guessing Ye Ning's thoughts, Jinyu smiled and continued: "Lishan, Xuanshui Palace, and Tianmen Palace are collectively known as two palaces and one mountain in the immortal cultivation world, not because they are three sects in the six holy lands, but because the style of these three sects has always been much more flamboyant than the other three holy places. Although there is no bright name in Juxian City, they control nearly one-third of the industrial share of Juxian City. ”
Ye Ning was stunned when he heard this: "Nearly one-third of the industrial share? ”
Jin Yu said: "Well, the heritage of the two palaces and one mountain is naturally not something that the nine major sects can compete with, such as the Danqi Sect. The skills in the Dan Dao and the Instrument Dao and even the Array Dao are all at the peak of the Nine Great Sects, but compared to the Lishan. There is more than one grade behind, and there are four kinds of divine fires generated by heaven and earth from the mountain. Regardless of the alchemy refining instrument, it is naturally much higher than the starting point of the Dan Instrument Sect. What does the Danqi Sect compare to others? ”
Ye Ning was stunned and said, "The divine fire generated by heaven and earth? And purple, white, gold, and blue? ”
Jinyu nodded, but his gaze at Ye Ning was a little weird, not to mention this kind of information in the Star Picking Tower, even the immortal cultivators in the Gathering Immortal City who had a little knowledge were no strangers, but looking at Ye Ning's appearance, he obviously didn't know at all, such a person would actually be a top alchemy master?
Although Ye Ning sensed that Jinyu's eyes were not quite right, and guessed that his performance might have caused the other party to misunderstand something, he did not make any distinction, after all, it was the first time he came to Juxian City, and it was normal not to know about this place, including Ziyuan Star was the first time to land, if he knew everything, it would cause others to have more suspicions, and it was best to look like this.
Ye Ning himself has the true fire of the sun, so he naturally understands what it means for the alchemy refiner to have the four divine fires in Lishan, since Lishan has the four natural divine fires, it is naturally easy to refine the best elixir, even if it is the same skill, Lishan can refine a higher-grade elixir and magic weapon than the Danqi Sect, not to mention, as a holy land, how can the background be comparable to the Danqi Sect.
After a brief thought, Ye Ning asked again: "I don't know what skills Xuanshui Palace and Tianmen Palace are good at?" ”
Jinyu froze slightly when she heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Ye is asking the question, how can outsiders speculate on the skills of these holy places such as two palaces and one mountain?" Those who can be taken to Juxian City to do business are all miscellaneous arts that cannot be placed on the table in the sect, and it is impossible to represent the strength of their respective sects, not to mention the holy land, it is the nine major sects, and those who are stationed in Juxian City to be in charge of the shop business are also the miscellaneous affairs of the outer gate. ”
Ye Ning turned his head and glanced at Yue Li, secretly wondering in his heart, I don't know if the Star Picking Tower is just the periphery of the Inviting Moon Palace?
Yue Li obviously guessed Ye Ning's thoughts at this time, pursed his lips and smiled before sending a message to him: "Brother Ye, my young lady has not officially entered the master's door, and the Star Picking Building has now been handed over to Miss to take care of, but this is only one of the introductory assessments of my young lady." ”
When Yue Li followed Jinyu to get acquainted with the affairs of the Star Picking Tower, Yue Xuan had already hinted at Yue Li, asking her to find the right time to reveal these things to Ye Ning.
Yue Xuan guessed that Ye Ning was the successor of the Purple Lotus Secret Realm, and the palace master of the Inviting Moon Palace did not raise any objections in person, neither supported nor opposed, and Yue Xuan felt that his guess was not far away, since this was the case, he was afraid that he was from the Inviting Moon Palace, and Ye Ning already knew it.
She didn't expect that Ye Ning had already guessed that she was a member of the Inviting Moon Palace, but Ye Ning himself was not a person in the Holy Land, otherwise, there would be no need to do everything possible to join a certain big sect.
You must know that in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no formal big sect to rely on, just relying on loose cultivation individuals, unless there is really an opportunity to go against the sky, it is generally difficult to go to the last step, and there are some things that are impossible to do without the accumulation of countless generations of great sects. The path to immortality is slim, not just talking.
Ye Ning can have today's achievements and hole cards. It is also the accumulation of two lifetimes, and the opportunity to go against the sky. If it weren't for the coincidence that he got the Qingxu Divine Bead in the Phantom Star God Array, he would have died many times, and it would be impossible for him to step into the immortal path in this life.
Therefore, joining a large sect with profound heritage was Ye Ning's greatest wish after entering the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Yue Xuan had such an idea, so he asked Yue Li to find a suitable time to reveal some information to Ye Ning, on the one hand, it was a temptation. On the other hand, it is also to be able to tie up Ye Ning and let him work for himself, at least, to help him pass the entrance assessment.
Ye Ning would never know Yue Xuan's careful thoughts, and he had no way to guess, but what Yue Xuan was right about was that Ye Ning really settled down after listening to Yue Li's words. I'm going to stay in the Star Picking Tower for a while.
In fact, except for the Star Picking Tower, Ye Ning has nowhere to go, and at the moment, it seems. The Star Picking Tower was the most convenient place for him to obtain all kinds of information in Juxian City, and if he changed the environment, it would be impossible to find out about the holy places of the two palaces and one mountain.
It is worth mentioning. There is a translucent frosted wall in each alchemy room, and it is unknown what material it is made of. This wall acts as a bulletin board, on which some information about the supply and demand of elixirs will appear at any time. Each alchemist can accept quests from above according to their level.
The alchemist refiner treatment of the Star Picking Building, in addition to room and board, the rest depends on each person's craftsmanship, after taking over the task, the Star Picking Building will provide abundant spiritual materials, these spiritual materials do not need to be costed, but the yield rate is limited, if the finished product rate is not reached, the level of enjoyment will fall, the level is low, and the tasks that can be accepted are naturally very limited.
Whether it is alchemy, refining or pattern carving, the reward enjoyed is half of the finished product, which can be retained by yourself, or handed over to the Star Picking Building for sale, and then exchanged for the points of the Star Picking Building, which can be exchanged for various resources you need, of course, these resources are basically provided by the Star Picking Building, and it is rare to hear that there are cultivation resources that cannot be provided, which is also a means for the Star Picking Building to hire and recruit many master craftsmen.
Ye Ning enjoys the treatment of a top grandmaster, that is to say, tasks below the level of the Dan King can be undertaken, but Ye Ning still asked one more question: "I don't know if there is a Dan King in the Star Picking Tower?" ”
Jin Yu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "The division of Dan masters in Juxian City is slightly different from the outside world, and there is no title of Dan King. ”
Ye Ning nodded slightly, expressing understanding, and said, "I don't know how Juxian City is divided?" ”
Jin Yu said: "According to the level of the elixir, the alchemist is divided into nine grades and eighteen levels in Juxian City, the nine grades are the lowest, there are super grades above the first grade, and there are special grades outside the first grade, so it should be twelve grades and twenty-four grades, but in fact, it is rare to hear of the birth of a spirit pill above the first grade in the immortal cultivation world, so the regulation of nine grades and eighteen levels has been set, and the Dan King that Mr. Ye said is only equivalent to a three-grade spirit pill." ”
Ye Ning was stunned for a moment, knowing that the nine-grade eighteenth-level that Jinyu said was only afraid that it was not as simple as he imagined, and the elixir refined by King Dan was equivalent to the three-rank pill? But I don't know how the grades of the elixir are divided.
Sure enough, Jin Yu then explained: "The division of the level of the elixir and the alchemist is very complicated, if Mr. Ye wants to know more in detail, he should go to the hall on the ninth floor of the Star Picking Building in person, the high-level spirit pill business of the Star Picking Building is concentrated there, and there is a very detailed explanation of the detailed indicators of the elixir identification, and at the same time, it also undertakes various appraisal businesses." ”
Ye Ning nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll go and see when I'm free." ”
Jinyu pointed to the announcement wall: "As long as there is no special task, Mr. Ye can undertake it, there are special maids outside to handle chores for Mr., you only need to explain the requirements to them." ”
This place is different from the residence, there are special servants outside the alchemy room, and almost all of them are low-level Dan masters.
Each alchemist has a lower limit of tasks, that is, the tasks that must be done within a certain period of time, otherwise, they will also drop down the level, the lower the level, the worse the benefits they can enjoy, and many of the cultivation places provided by the Star Picking Building for alchemists cannot go, which is the motivation for many craftsmen to desperately improve their level and earn enough points.
Ye Ning hadn't visited the special places of the Star Picking Tower yet, but Yue Li just casually mentioned a few things to him, which made him can't help but want to see them, such as the Star Palace, which was far more advanced than the Tianxuan Pagoda of the Tianxuan Dao Academy, which already made Ye Ning's heart itch.
After sending Yue Li and Jinyu away, Ye Ning wandered around his alchemy room. There is nothing unusual about the equipment in the alchemy room, and the Dan furnace is a standard Dan furnace. The grade is neither high nor low, although there is nothing distinctive. But if it is used for alchemy, there is no problem in satisfying a top-level grandmaster-level Dan master, and the fire source is more special.
With Ye Ning's eyesight, he couldn't tell where the fire source of the Dan Room was drawn from, if it was the earth fire, Ye Ning himself didn't believe it, dozens of floors of high-rise buildings, alchemy and refining weapons were all above the thirty-sixth floor, how could it be possible to send the earth fire over the dozens of floors of the Star Picking Tower here?
However, the furnace fire in the alchemy room was still several levels higher than when he was in the Earth Flame Mountain of Fengcheng. It is already on a par with the immortal cultivator's own samadhi true fire, the key is that the furnace fire here can supply the Dan furnace continuously, unlike the immortal cultivator's own samadhi true fire, which is limited by its own cultivation, and it is impossible to provide it endlessly.
After turning around, because the area of this floor was too large, there were countless alchemy rooms, and there were even a lot of alchemy rooms in them, and Ye Ning didn't dare to use his divine sense to look at them. I had to give up looking for the roots.
However, no matter how the fire source was drawn, it was inseparable from the use of the formation and Ye Ning's attainments in the formation. It has long been out of the traditional trap, which is not something that ordinary people can understand, and it is only necessary to pay attention to observation. Sooner or later, we can figure out the problem of the source of fire by touching the melon.
There is one more issue to be concerned about. It is his own safety, which is the first thing Ye Ning must pay attention to wherever he goes.
Alchemy in the Star Picking Building. Compared to the Earth Flame Mountain in Fengcheng, this is the Gathering Immortal City, there are countless immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Period alone, and Ye Ning does not dare to guarantee that the formation he has arranged can isolate the divine sense exploration of the immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Period, not to mention that this is still the territory of the Inviting Moon Palace?
Therefore, after Ye Ning settled down, he did not rush to cultivate or start alchemy, but repeatedly checked the environment he was in.
Thankfully, nothing suspicious was found, which means you don't have to worry about being monitored at all times.
As for whether it will be temporarily probed by someone with divine sense, it is not something he can consider now, after all, this is someone else's territory, except for the people from the Moon Palace, it is estimated that no one will dare to use divine sense to investigate here, and Ye Ning also found in the process of probing around that these alchemy rooms themselves have the effect of isolating the detection of divine sense, although they cannot block the detection of the Qingxu Divine Bead, but for ordinary immortal cultivators, it is tantamount to an iron wall, and Ye Ning does not count on immortal cultivators during the tribulation period.
If the immortal cultivators in the Tribulation Period notice him, no matter how he dodges, he will do useless work, and the only way is to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, of course, there is another way, which is to join the two palaces and one mountain and become a descendant of the Holy Land.
Returning to his alchemy room, he first meditated in the quiet room for a day and a night, Yue Xuan did not come to visit as he expected, Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, he also felt a little faintly lost, why there was such a mentality, he himself couldn't figure it out.
Staring at the announcement wall for a while, Ye Ning couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, he thought that his alchemy skills had reached the top of the Dan King, but more than ninety percent of the elixirs listed on the announcement wall were actually unheard of, even if the task was next, he couldn't refine them, because he didn't know those elixirs at all, and he might not even be able to recognize the raw materials.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Ning was thinking about whether to go to the ninth floor of the Star Picking Building as Jinyu said, but at the right time he saw that the refining task of Du Erdan appeared on the bulletin board: the number is not limited, the grade is not lower than the fourth-grade intermediate level, the pill rate is not less than sixty percent, the fourth-grade upper rank is not less than three percent, the third-grade lower rank is not less than one percent, and the third-grade intermediate rate is half a percent.
Although Ye Ning didn't understand the grade division standard of the elixir, Jinyu said that the elixir refined by King Dan was only a third-grade elixir, thinking about it, the three-grade intermediate level mentioned above would not be better than the quality of the superb elixir that he had refined, right?
At the moment when he hesitated, the task of crossing the Erdan had been undertaken by more than 30 alchemists, and he no longer hesitated, and immediately took over the task of crossing the Erdan, and instructed the maid to collect the spiritual materials for refining the Erdan.
The maid who waited for Ye Ning was a pair of twenty-five or sixteen girls, both of whom were middle-level Danshi masters of the Danshi Mansion, and they were at the same level as the original master of the Danshi Mansion in Fengcheng, but here, they could only serve as maids and do the work of servants.
Ye Ning secretly sighed to himself, if it weren't for Yue Xuan, he would probably have a problem gaining a foothold in Juxian City, let alone entering the Star Picking Building for alchemy.
As long as the task is taken, the spiritual materials will be sent to the corresponding alchemy room through the miniature teleportation array, so the speed at which the two maids receive the spiritual materials is extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they will send a storage bag to Ye Ning.
Ye Ning opened the storage bag and saw that in addition to the spiritual materials of Du Erdan, there was also a jade slip, but it was a detailed information on the refining process and various spiritual materials recorded in Du Erdan, and even there was a set of alchemy techniques, and it was also quite a high-level method, at least much more clever than the set of magic techniques of the Shenyou Sect in Su Cuiping's hand, Ye Ning couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
Mu Ran looked up, but saw the two maids looking at him eagerly, no, to be precise, looking at the jade slips in his hand, Ye Ning couldn't help but show a wry smile, these Dan masters who served as maids, I'm afraid they came for these jade slips, right? (To be continued......)
