Chapter 53: Consolidating Alchemy
The snake didn't expect Zhou Ling to agree so easily, but it also had the pride of belonging to the spirit snake beast, so it didn't show excitement, but looking at Zhou Ling's eyes, it vaguely showed gratitude.
"Time is pressing, let's start quickly, we still have to hurry!" Zhou Ling urged.
The bloodline link requires both parties to be willing and recognize each other, after hearing Zhou Ling's reply, the snake no longer hesitated, and the leopard-colored arms instantly turned into broad wings, and the snake spit out a disc-shaped black substance floating in the air under the wings and crying, with white clouds and mist flowing around the center, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.
Zhou Ling looked at the black cloud disk, as if he could communicate with the deepest things in his heart, and his mind suddenly felt a sense of transparency.
A trace of blood flew into the snake's mouth, and in an instant, the cloud-like material moved rapidly, releasing vigorous vitality.
"This is my Origin Nirvana, which is the source of life, quickly merging your essence and blood into it. The snake said.
"Zhou Ling, what are you going to do?"
didn't hear the ideological conversation between Zhou Ling and the snake, Yu Wei was very surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
Zhou Ling patted him on the shoulder to reassure him, and then with a flick of his fingers, a drop of scarlet blood fell into the Snake Primordial Nirvana, and under the high-speed operation of the cloud disk, the two drops of essence blood were constantly fusing together.
There is only one chance, and if the fusion fails, the link between the two will have failed, and there will be no chance of success. Fortunately, the bloodline fusion was very smooth, and obviously neither one nor one snake resisted.
Suddenly, the two essence blood were completely fused, and the nirvana actually burned with a dark red flame, and the two drops of essence blood silk threads flew into the eyebrows of the two and disappeared, as if a white water mark appeared, sinking into the deepest part of Zhou Ling and the snake's body, and a kind of brotherhood of life and death arose spontaneously from the depths of the hearts of one person and one snake.
The snake opened its mouth and swallowed the Origin Nirvana into its body, its entire body had more human breath, and the eyes looking at Zhou Ling became more friendly.
"I can't imagine that my life is related to the life and death of a strange beast!" Zhou Ling sighed helplessly when he looked back at Yu Wei.
"You ....... Have you established a bloodline relationship just now?" asked Yu Wei.
"Specifically, I have become relatives with it!" Zhou Ling said helplessly.
"You're really crazy!" Yu Wei looked at Zhou Ling like a monster, and actually made such a crazy move in order to be able to go out.
"No way, you don't want to!"
"We're already on a deeper level, and you haven't told me your name yet!" Zhou Ling turned to look at the snake and said. "I belong to the spirit snake class, you can call me a spirit!"
"Avatar, take us out quickly!"
In the depths of the desert canyon, Zhou Ling and Yu Wei rode into the sky on the body of the snake.
Easily breaking through the barrier of the water curtain barrier, and having a bird's-eye view of the lake and the door of the cave nest where he has lived for a long time, the spirit is also excited.
How many alien beasts are born noble, but they can only survive in front of the laws of heaven and earth, and it will break through the shackles of the enchantment to pursue the pride of belonging to the alien beasts.
Without the constraints of the enchantment, the spirit quickly flew over the desert cliff, and after turning over, he saw a plain of water and grass in front of him, and the tips of the reeds overlapped, which looked very spectacular. It was still wild, and time was running out, so the spirit continued to fly with the two of them.
"It's good to be able to fly, it's really much faster!"
Yu Wei felt the value of Zhou Ling's sacrifice at this time.
"That's what I bought with my essence blood!" Zhou Ling said.
Continue to the south is the boundary of the You Dynasty, and soon the outline of the city can be seen, and the Martial Arts Academy is not far from Naye, the capital of the You Dynasty, but in order to find the whereabouts of Jialan and Yuntianhe, Zhou Ling and Yu Wei decided to go to Naye City to rest and inquire first.
As soon as he entered Naye City, the spirit was hidden in Zhou Lingxuan's Tongzhu, and the cultivation of alien beasts was divided into four major levels: condensation, transformation, concentration of spirits, and psychic, corresponding to the realm of human cultivation martial arts, martial kings, martial spirits and martial arts, due to the congenital restrictions of enchantment, there are very few alien beasts that can cultivate to the realm of transformation, let alone the psychic realm.
According to the transformation spirit, it is now in the critical period of the transformation stage, and it must concentrate on cultivation to prepare for promotion, and at the same time, it also needs the assistance of an elixir to be able to succeed in impacting, this elixir is the transformation pill.
Now that he has a blood relationship, Zhou Ling decided to help Hua Ling realize his dream.
There are very few true alchemists in the Tianyan Continent, and a small number of pharmacist disciples can only refine ordinary pills of lower grade, such as Yu Wei.
Since each dynasty attaches different importance to the alchemy industry, the degree of development of the alchemy industry in each place is also different.
Zhou Ling heard that the king of the You Dynasty did not like to cultivate, but pursued the art of immortality, and encouraged the alchemy industry very much, and also summoned dozens of alchemists from all over the dynasty to gather in the court to refine the elixir for him, so he decided to try his luck here.
"I think it's better for you to refine it yourself, just train your alchemy!" After listening to Zhou Ling's thoughts, Brother Qing gave his advice.
"Can my current ability refine the Transformation Pill?"
Zhou Ling only began to get a first glimpse of the way when he subdued Xiao Meng in the barren land of the far north under the guidance of Brother Qing, but the elixir he refined was just a spirit pill.
"You have to have confidence in yourself, as long as you find the right way to collect materials, it's not impossible to refine the Transformation Pill!" Qing Ge encouraged. On this day, Zhou Ling tried to contact Yun Tianhe and Jialan again through the Tonglian Crystal, but still did not receive a reply, and the Tonglian Crystal did not show their specific location.
"Jialan, Tianhe, you must not encounter any accidents!" Zhou Ling said to himself with a worried face.
There are still four days left before reporting to the academy, and Zhou Ling has already inquired that it is only a one-day journey from Naye City to the academy, so he is no longer in a hurry, and he is waiting to find Jialan, Yun Tianhe, Ye Chaoqun and others.
At the instigation of Brother Qing, Zhou Ling went to the medicinal herb market in Naye City to collect various medicinal materials, and at the same time, through the information provided by Brother Qing, he began to re-study and consolidate the relevant knowledge of the alchemist.
Alchemists are divided into four levels: apprentice, grandmaster, great grandmaster and emperor, and the quality of the corresponding pills that can be refined is divided into four levels: mortal, earth, heaven, and emperor, and each level is divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper.
Each dynasty has set up an alchemist mansion, which is responsible for the assessment and evaluation of alchemists, and issues special grade badges.
All alchemists with badges are very respected in the major dynasties, because the help of good pills for cultivation is by no means something that can be exchanged for time and diligence alone, and in some special cases, the promotion of strength must also rely on the assistance of pills.
Although Zhou Ling did not participate in the assessment and grading, he knew that the current level was also in the apprentice realm, and the Transformation Pill belonged to the Terrestrial Pill, and it had to reach the level of a grandmaster at least before it could be refined.
"What level of alchemist are you?" Zhou Ling asked Brother Qing.
"Wu Tan Sage is an emperor-level alchemist, following his years of study and training, as long as there are materials, it is no problem to refine a heaven-level elixir. Brother Qing said with some smugness.
"Then you can help me refine the Transformation Pill, and I'll be responsible for the materials. Zhou Ling said with admiration on his face.
"How can I refine the elixir with a soul body?" Qing Ge said, "The Feeding Spirit Pill you refined before can be regarded as a mortal-grade mid-grade elixir, and the refined elixir requires that you must be skilled in fire control, precise in dispensing, and firm in condensing pills, as an apprentice, you have to start from these basic skills!"
The Force can turn qi into fire, but many cultivators are not suitable for alchemy due to the fact that the Force is biased towards femininity, in order to make up for this shortcoming, many alchemists choose the Dan furnace for fire gathering and temperature control, and it is also conducive to the formation of Ning Dan.
Zhou Ling had previously only been able to turn the Force into qi from the palm of his hand to make fire, but now he was required to do so through the tips of his index and middle fingers.
The muscles and veins in the fingers were small, and the force output speed was slow, and Zhou Ling could only succeed a few times after countless attempts, so tired that he was sweating profusely and crying bitterly.
Brother Qing is not soft-hearted, in two days, he urged Zhou Ling to train day and night, Zhou Ling's fire control ability gradually became proficient, and he could produce the original fire with two fingers.
"The Chaos Exercise Force you have cultivated is domineering, and it is very suitable for refining pills, if your fire control ability is insufficient, it is very likely that you will suffer a backlash, and even affect the dantian. Brother Qing reminded.
"I've realized that it's not easy to control the fire, and now my fingers are going to be burned!" Zhou Ling said helplessly.
"Now let's start the second step of training, dispensing medicine!"
