Chapter 217: Chen Hongyuan's letter
Miao Zhen Dan is similar to Sanyang Dan, it is also a kind of elixir that can assist in breaking through the realm, but the effect is better than Sanyang Dan, and the price is of course more expensive.
The price of Sanyang Pill is about two hundred spirit stones, and the price of Miao Zhen Pill is slightly exceeded, one is about three hundred spirit stones, which is not as good as the third-order lower grade Moon Pill.
The price of the elixir is not necessarily high because the grade is high, and the Zhuji Dan is only a third-order high-grade product, and the price exceeds that of most fourth-order elixirs.
Even the general fifth-order elixir is not as expensive as the Zhuji Dan in terms of price.
Zhang Zhixuan has now built a six-layer foundation, and he has just taken the third-order qi replenishing pill that restores mana, and there are already some erysipelas in his body, and he will not easily take any elixir before he dissolves erysipelas.
Even if the Miao Zhen Pill was a spirit pill that he had refined with his own hands, he clearly knew the advantages and disadvantages of this spirit pill, and he also knew the hidden dangers of the spirit pill.
According to Zhang Zhixuan's mana realm, a pill of Miao Zhen Pill was already very small for him, and it couldn't help him break through the late stage of foundation building at all. If you take a few more pills to rush the customs together, it is possible to accumulate too much erysipelas, which will hinder the opening of the Purple Mansion.
Even if he succeeds in breaking through and becomes a monk in the later stage of foundation building a few years in advance, this kind of quick success will damage the foundation of the monk and will not help him in the slightest.
Zhang Zhixuan put away the three Miao Zhen Pills, and then put them in the family treasury to exchange them for nine hundred good deeds. This time, in order to refine the elixir, Zhang Zhixuan had already consumed 1,200 good deeds, not counting the Qi replenishing pill that was entrusted to the cold smoke exchange.
Generally, refining this kind of elixir that exceeds the level of their own alchemy will lose a lot of capital, Zhang Zhixuan's performance this time is already very good, the first time he refines the third-order mid-grade elixir, the success rate has reached thirty percent, which is considered to have recovered more than half of the cost.
The reason why his alchemy this time went so smoothly was mainly because of the large-scale refining of Locust Lingsan a few years ago.
Refining dozens of furnaces of locust spirit powder allowed Zhang Zhixuan to increase a lot of experience in refining third-order spirit pills. In addition, he has been preparing for more than two years, and he has already figured out all aspects of this pill, and his understanding of its pharmacology is quite mature.
Not long after refining the elixir, a letter was brought back from Qingxuanzong, and the letter was from Zhang Zhixuan's friend Chen Hongyuan in Qingxuanzong.
Zhang Zhixuan and Chen Hongyuan have known each other for almost 30 years, although the age difference between the two is very large, but after a few dealings, they fell in love and eventually became good friends.
After Zhang Zhixuan introduced Zhang Sidao to Chen Hongyuan, the relationship between the two sides became a little better.
More than twenty years have passed, and Chen Hongyuan's alchemy has improved again, and he became a third-order high-grade refiner two years ago.
However, he is already very old, and there is basically no possibility of opening up the Purple Mansion, and Shouyuan is already less than a Jiazi. If he could be a hundred years younger and have this level of alchemy, his status in the sect would not be lower than that of Han Yan.
Chen Hongyuan's letter was mainly because he had exchanged an empty stone from the Qingxuan Sect's General Affairs Palace, hoping to use this empty stone to repair Zhang Zhixuan's poisonous dragon boat.
Since the Battle of Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan's poisonous dragon boat was damaged by the monks of the Hongshan Sect, not only the flag was damaged, but even the keel was cut off.
The most important damage is that there is a crack in the Void Stygian Stone.
By the time Zhang Zhixuan brought the poisonous dragon boat to Chen Hongyuan, the Void Immortal Stone could no longer support it and was completely damaged.
Without the Void Stone, this magic weapon would lose its internal space and the ability to carry human manpower. Without this ability, this flying magic weapon would lose its maximum effectiveness and would be basically useless.
There is no empty stone in Yu country, and even there is no such vein in Wu country, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, this kind of spiritual object comes from a long distance, and the price is of course more expensive.
In the entire Yu Kingdom, except for the four major sects that have channels to get some Void Immortal Stone Refining Magic Weapons, other forces have no such ability at all.
Even a top Purple Mansion cultivator like Black Mountain Liang Ancestor, if he wants to empty the Immortal Stone, he can only exchange it with Qingxuanzong for a large price.
Two years ago, Li Zigong of Qingxuanzong went to the Song Kingdom and got some empty spirit stones, although this kind of spiritual wealth with space attributes is relatively rare, but Chen Hongyuan still used his identity as a third-order refiner to get a piece from the Zongmen General Affairs Palace.
This Void Stone was a bit larger than the Void Stone he used to refine the poison dragon boat last time, and if he put on some other materials, this flying magic weapon would have more space.
Seeing that there was hope for the repair of the poisonous dragon boat, Zhang Zhixuan hurried to Qingxuanzong, he came directly to Qingyangfang City, and found that it was his nephew Zhang Sidao who showed Chen Hongyuan the store.
Zhang Sidao is now thirty-seven years old, and he has already married a wife and had children in Qingxuanzong.
Seeing Zhang Zhixuan come in, his wife hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully, and said to Zhang Sidao at the back of the hall: "Sidao, Uncle Fourteen is here, when will you be busy?" ”
Then he said to Zhang Zhixuan enthusiastically: "Fourteenth uncle, you sit first, a few days ago, the sect issued a few pieces of third-order spiritual tea to the master, I will make one for you and you can taste it first." ”
Zhang Sidao's wife is Chen Hongyuan's clan, named Chen Weilan, but the blood relationship is far away from Chen Hong, although the Chen family has taken root in Qingxuanzong for many years, but the number of their mortals is far less than that of the Zhang family, and monks with spiritual roots are even rarer.
In the entire Chen Hongyuan clan, there are only four or five monks with spiritual roots.
With only a few people, Chen Hongyuan can of course take care of them, and the relationship is much closer than ordinary distant relatives.
Chen Hongyuan accepted a few disciples in his early years, but these disciples failed to build a foundation, and now they are already old and decrepit, and most of them have gone away.
He also has the strictest requirements for Zhang Sidao, a closed disciple.
The loss of the true yang of the monk is an obstacle to the foundation building, although there are many monks who have started a family and have succeeded in building the foundation, but compared with the monk who lost Yuanyang, the probability is still smaller.
After Zhang Sidao worshipped Chen Hongyuan as a teacher, because he had a lot of contact with Chen Weilan, he had this meaning after coming and going, although Chen Hongyuan was a little reluctant, but he still made the decision to let them get married.
With the light of the master and elders, Zhang Sidao's cultivation in Qingxuan Sect was also relatively smooth, and he successfully broke through the ninth layer of Qi cultivation a few months ago and began to prepare for foundation building.
His talent is not bad, even the alchemy technique, under the teaching of Chen Hongyuan, a famous teacher, has also broken through the second-order upper grade, and he has been able to help Chen Hongyuan fight some hands.
Chen Hongyuan also used his connections in the General Affairs Hall to arrange for Zhang Sidao to refine low-level magic weapons to earn good deeds.
Although learning alchemy consumes a lot of resources, Zhang Sidao has a lifetime of inheritance accumulated by his grandfather Zhang Mengyao, plus the pension issued by his family after Zhang Mengyao's death in Chaoyin Mountain, and now he has saved 2,000 good deeds in his hands.
Every year, he refines magic weapons for the Zongmen General Affairs Hall, and he can also be rewarded with a hundred good deeds, and before the age of sixty, the husband and wife should be able to raise five thousand good deeds.
And Zhang Zhixuan, Zhang Hanyan, and Chen Hongyuan, the three elders in the foundation building period, can also help him solve the remaining half. Although he lost Yuanyang by marrying a wife and having children, with the help of Zhuji Dan, the probability of Zhang Sidao building a foundation is still more than 30%.
The probability of building a foundation is already worth investing resources in elders like Zhang Zhixuan to help him at a critical time.
