Chapter 29: The Three Jewels
"Humph!" Lu Dan snorted heavily, anyway, Xiaoding learned from her, who else can blame her. A good person was brought into this way, she really shouldn't be allowed to run around with Xiaoding.
Although his face was ugly, he still turned his hand and took out a jade box from his sleeve and threw it to Lu Xiaoding. He said to Lu Yaoxiang in a stiff tone: "This is the purple four-leaf I gave, and I will return your Tsukidan." ”
"Whoever wants your spirit grass, Xiao Ding will give it back to him!" I really hate his attitude, Lu Yaoxiang preached angrily.
Lu Xiaoding had long been accustomed to the two of them quarreling without incident, so he didn't listen to her at all, but opened the crack of the jade box, glanced inside, and snapped it up. Then he said to the two of them: "You guys quarrel slowly, I'll go to alchemy first." With that, she turned and left, leaving them in the courtyard.
According to the usual habits, the two of them had to quarrel for half an hour, and she didn't want to accompany them here unless they had something to do.
Purple four-leaf is such an important and special spirit grass, everyone will be very cautious when refining, I am afraid that there will be less Dan in case it is refined. But Lu Xiaoding has never been so careful, she opened the jade box when she walked on the road, picked up the lilac purple four-leaf leaf, smelled the fragrance on it, and put it in her mouth and chewed it.
After eating all the way back to the small building where he lived, he went into the house and put down the ding, then opened the lid and turned out seven or eight small jade boxes from the inside. There was a portion of the spirit grass in each jade box, and she ate them all in the order of refining, and finally smacked her lips and took a sip of water.
"It's really comfortable to eat, and when the medicine is all processed, it's time to start refining. The four-grade Tsukidan has to be fired, and this one finally comes in handy. Lu Xiaoding patted his stomach, took out a small bag from his arms, and poured the contents on the table.
It was a red demon crystal the size of a fingernail, and it looked beautiful. This is what she and Lu Yaoxiang bought back when they went to Luxing City to spend the crystal fruit, don't look at its small size but asked for twelve crystal fruits, and the boss of the crystal bean still refused to sell it.
This is the demon crystal of the fire jumping rat, which can stimulate flames with spiritual power, and is commonly used when refining fire magic weapons.
But here in Lu Xiaoding, there are other uses, which can be used instead of earth fire to refine alchemy. The method is very simple, just swallow it in your stomach. In her stomach, there were already a lot of pills stored, all of which were wrapped in a layer of aura like bubbles, so that it could be isolated from other things.
Although she didn't have a spiritual vein, as Ding was strengthened little by little, her body began to be filled with spiritual energy. Just like Lu Xiaoding himself said, she is full of spiritual energy, and she doesn't need such a thing as spiritual veins.
If the monk absorbs the aura into her body, it will be transformed into spiritual power, but she will not cultivate, and the aura will not become spiritual power in the body. Sometimes she also wonders if she continues like this, won't she become a walking spirit grass, and her whole body is full of aura.
This kind of thought is only thought about when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't feel that she will be washed and eaten.
After Lu Xiaoding felt that the spirit grass had all turned into medicinal mud, he swallowed the demon crystal of the fire jumping mouse. After the demon crystal went down to its stomach, it was burst by the aura that filled its belly, and the flames burst out at once, almost spewing out of its mouth.
She swallowed hard and grinned, fortunately, there were not many opportunities to refine high-grade pills, otherwise this would almost become a fire-breathing tripod.
If Zhuji Dan wants to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, it is better to refine it slowly, and ordinary alchemists only need to refine it for three days. However, Lu Xiaoding felt that it would be better to use twelve days, so that all the spiritual energy in the spiritual grass would be converted into medicinal effects, and it would not be like the master's refining, where the loss of spiritual energy was too large and affected the medicinal effect.
Just when she and Lu Yaoxiang were waiting for the Zhuji Pill to be refined, they could prepare to attack the Zhuji Pill, but Tian Danfeng came with a group of uninvited guests.
It was the envoys from all over Kyushu who came, and Yundanzhou was one of the Kyushu lands. Nine nearby states form allies, so they can do business when they don't have trouble, and they can unite with the outside world when things happen. Usually I will fight for you and me, and occasionally there are some small frictions, but the relationship is still harmonious.
Yundanzhou has the lowest status in Kyushu, because there are no first-class sects, and most of them are second-rate and third-rate small sects. The two largest sects are the Cloud Sword Sect and the Wuxu Sect, and the ideals of both sects are to become first-class sects.
And there are three things that represent that you can become a first-class sect, the Ten Thousand Collection Book Pavilion, the Medicine King Palace, and the Condensation Realm.
As the name suggests, the Wanzang Book Pavilion is the place where the sect stores the exercises, and there are four grades of the exercises, which are divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang. The basic exercises of introductory learning are not even ranked in these four grades, and they are called human level, which means that everyone can learn.
If you want to hang the plaque of the Ten Thousand Library Pavilion, you must have more than 10,000 kinds of books, and you must have at least three heaven-level exercises.
However, the Condensation Realm is a thing that sounds very powerful, but in fact, it is purely used to show financial resources, and it is not of much use.
It was a space that was opened up by monks above the incarnation stage in the sect, which was similar to the meaning of Qiankun in the sleeve, but it was large enough to accommodate a mountain peak. When the space in the Qiankun Technique in the sleeve reached a point of size, its name had to be changed to the Condensation Realm.
It's big inside, and even the peaks and lakes can be put in, and then throw some monsters into it, and it's a place like another world. As long as there is a sect in the Condensing Void Realm, the disciples will be relatively proud, and every year there will always be various dangerous trials held in it, so that the disciples can increase their actual combat experience.
But behind this is the pain of the sect's high-level leaders, the condensation realm cannot be closed when it is opened, this is the same as the Qiankun technique in the sleeve, every time you take something in the sleeve technique, it costs spiritual power. But because the sleeve technique is not large, the spiritual power consumed can be replenished by basking in the sun.
However, the spiritual power consumed by opening the Condensation Realm can scare people to death, and if you let it be locked up and opened at will, it will exhaust the high-level monks to death. Moreover, it is not enough to rely on manpower, it has to cooperate with the huge magic circle, and what is consumed is not crystal fruits, but crystal clusters that are more advanced than them.
Besides, even if you want to close the crystal clusters, you will be laughed at by other sects. If you can't afford to use the Condensation Realm, it's usually closed, so it's better not to open it at all, it's embarrassing.
Therefore, each sect had to use a magic circle to support the entrance of the Condensing Void Realm, and keep it open at all times. Every thirty days, a basket of crystal clusters will be spent on the magic circle, and more than that, the powerful demon beasts thrown into it must not go hungry, and they have to regularly send small demon beasts inside to feed.
If you want to practice, you just need to go to the basin, and the existence of the Condensation Realm is used to save face. But if you don't get it, you can't do it, and if you can't even afford this sect, it means that you don't have the strength, and you have to sit back when the sect gathers.
These three things represent first-class sects, and the most valuable is the Medicine King Palace.
It's not that if you have an alchemist with a high level of cultivation, you are qualified to build a Medicine King Palace, and there is no such title as Medicine King among monks. If you dare to call yourself the king of medicine, someone will come to you to challenge, and the alchemist will not accept anyone.
As long as the monks in the sect can refine a pill of more than ten grades, and can also take the work of alchemy, they can build a medicine king hall. There are no people in the palace, and only the pill is offered to prove the strength of his sect.
It's very good to have such an elixir town, but it takes a lot of energy to protect it, and the pills of the Medicine King Palace are stolen from time to time. The people who came to steal were all high-level monks, and every time they stole the entire sect, they would make a fuss, and the chickens, dogs, and dogs would jump and kill and injure countless people, which was really a headache.
But as long as these three things are satisfied, it is recognized as a first-class sect. At that time, young boys and girls with good qualifications will line up to come here, squeezing their heads to get started as disciples. Whether this is cost-effective or not, only the high-level of the sect can figure it out.
Every year there is a regular meeting in Kyushu, and almost all the sects have to send people to participate, and some sects that are too small will not be taken care of if they don't come. In order to alleviate the pressure of reception, they all take turns to go to the second-rate and above sects for three days.
Originally, it was not the turn of Yunjian Gate this year, but after it was rumored that there was a Jindan alchemist here, everyone temporarily decided to come here for a regular meeting. The reason is naturally tacit, everyone wants to see the strength of the Jindan alchemist of Yunjianmen, and from this it can be inferred what Yunjianmen can reach in the future.
The strength of the sect affects the size of the power under their jurisdiction, and the larger the place they manage, the more spiritual settlements and taxes they have. This is a matter of great concern to everyone, and it should not be taken lightly.
The spiritual gathering place is a good place, in that kind of place where the spiritual energy is so rich that even monks can't cultivate, it can give birth to crystal marrow. On the edge of the crystal pith like water, there are clusters of crystal clusters as transparent as coral, and the edge of the crystal clusters will produce crystal fruits of different sizes, as small as a dragon's eye and as large as a fist. The smaller ones that resemble beans are the crystal beans commonly used by low-level monks.
A large amount of sect consumption is obtained from the spirit gathering ground, although even the crystal essence can be regenerated, but no one dares to do this. It takes hundreds of years to give birth to a drop of crystal marrow, and it takes many years to reach the point where it can produce crystal clusters.
Crystals and beans solidify the fastest, which is the main reason why they can be turned into money. Crystal clusters are hardly traded in the market, and are only used to buy valuable items or to trade with each other.
This year, all the sects that were worried that Yunjianmen would really develop and grow, and were afraid that their spiritual gathering place would be robbed, all came over to participate in the regular meeting, making Yunjianmen a mess. But I also understood why they suddenly changed the location of the regular meeting, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud.
My Yunjian Sect has just produced a Jindan alchemist, and I have scared you like this. Then after he is infant, your spiritual gathering place must not hand over a few to us!
Lu Xiaoding, who was about to leave the Dan, curiously watched a large group of monks come to Tiandan Peak, looked around casually, and entered the Tiandan Hall with their own thoughts. Lu Dan, the senior brother, took on the task of reception, while Lu Yaoxiang was busy arranging for the medicine boy and his disciples to prepare tea to entertain these people who came to mix tea.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Lu Xiaoding looked at a foundation building monk, who was outside the Tiandan Palace, and the guy was limping when he walked, looking at his legs and feet. She couldn't help but admire this person's will, she refused to straighten her legs even after building a foundation, she was really a person who dared to face her own defects, and she would definitely become a big weapon in the future.
