Chapter 288: Improving Alchemy
In three years, Zhang Zhixuan refined sixty-seven fourth-order magic weapons.
In just three years, his experience in refining fourth-order magic weapons surpassed that of Zhou Zijian and the others. It is also slightly more than Su Dehui.
Because he had enough experience, when he broke through the fifth-order refiner, Zhang Zhixuan only failed twice, and the third time he successfully refined the fifth-order magic weapon, raising the alchemy technique to the same level as Su Dehui.
In the past three years, in order to break through the alchemy technique, although Zhang Zhixuan was busy refining more than sixty fourth-order magic weapons and turned into a refining maniac, he had not earned much compensation because he had adopted a low-price dumping strategy.
Because of the high price of purchasing refining materials, tens of thousands of spirit stones were also pasted into it. A cultivator like him, who doesn't care about remuneration for refining weapons, is also rare in Yunmeng City.
It's a pity that after breaking through to the fifth order, the upward path is much narrower, and it is already difficult to move an inch.
There are very few Jindan monks who have settled in Yunmeng City all year round, and with the nearby Jindan such as the Xu family brothers, there are only about a dozen people in total.
Even if the entire Sanssouci Sect was a vassal Jindan monk, the total number of people did not exceed eighty.
With such a small market, it may take ten or eight years to refine a fifth-order magic weapon, and their preferred choice is also the refining master within the Sanssouci Sect.
Without fifth-order magic weapon refining, how could Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy technique improve like this?
Now that his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, it is difficult to improve his mana. For the next eight years, I will practice in Xiyaozhou. Wasting time in vain is not a solution, in desperation, Zhang Zhixuan could only give up the shop of Wenxin Pavilion, and once again came to the Splitting Sky Canyon and sent a transmission note to Gao Xingtong, Xue Shiqing and other old people.
Gao Xingtong wants to look for life-prolonging spiritual objects in the canyon, Xue Shiqing was originally a master of the Sanssouci Sect stationed in the Splitting Sky Canyon, as for another Yuanying friend, Jin Yunpeng, he has already returned to the sect to prepare to use the unicorn beetle shell to refine the sixth-order defensive magic weapon, and I don't know if there is a time to say goodbye?
"Since Zhang Daoyou has found the Pure Lotus, why should he risk his life nearby? You are young and have no clear understanding of the dangers of this place. Some of these spatial cracks are connected to other interfaces, and by chance, they will occasionally open up other interfaces, releasing some strange creatures with strange shapes, and when they encounter them, sometimes even the Yuanying Monk can't escape. Seeing Zhang Zhixuan and his wife, Gao Xingtong had a wry smile on his face and immediately advised.
After listening to Gao Xingtong's words, Xue Shiqing nodded solemnly and said: "Gao Daoyou is right, more than a thousand years ago, two ancient demons invaded this realm from the spatial crack, and in just thirteen days, the Split Sky Canyon fell thirty-seven Yuanying masters, and the seven major sects of Xiyaozhou were forced to join forces to fight the enemy, and also invited Qinglihai, Yanhuo Prefecture Yuanshen, and even the White Elephant Demon King in Qingmang Plain also shared the same hatred and participated in this battle, and it took more than ten years of war to expel the ancient demons. After that battle, we in the Xiyaozhou Immortal Cultivation Realm recuperated for more than 200 years before we could be considered to have recovered our vitality.
The monks who are fighting in the Heaven Splitting Canyon are either people like Gao Daoyou who are dying of life, or people like me who have failed in the internal struggle of the sect. Promising monks like you and your wife are often in the minority. ”
Although the environment of the Splitting Sky Canyon is dangerous, but they often mess around here, and they can get a lot of precious sixth-order spiritual objects, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife have been mixing in the Splitting Sky Canyon for ten years, and they have obtained three sixth-order magic weapons, a sixth-order elixir, and also harvested some sixth-order demon beast materials, adding some other spiritual objects, and can refine a sixth-order spirit rune.
These sixth-order spirit objects, exchanged for spirit stones, are worth at least more than five million, and in the Heaven Splitting Canyon for a year, the spirit stones earned are equivalent to about five times that of the outside.
What's more, sixth-order spiritual objects are extremely rare, and it is difficult to search for them outside. After refining into the Yuan Infant, the spirit stone could no longer play a too high role in the Yuan Infant Cultivator. Because of this, knowing that the Sky Splitting Canyon is dangerous, it can still attract some Jindan and Yuanying masters.
Gao Xingtong and the two can persuade each other bluntly, and they are actually worthy of the friendship of adventuring together.
After listening to the persuasion of the two, Zhang Zhixuan was not a stupid person who couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, he first saluted the two, and immediately explained: "Thank you for your concern, in fact, I came to the Sky Splitting Canyon this time, not to explore the secret realm."
The reason why I sent a transmission note to the two Daoists was because I wanted to ask Senior and Xue Daoyou to contact friends. You all know my situation, and my cultivation has reached the peak of Jindan. Because it will take eight years for the Transcontinental Teleportation Array to be activated, I can't afford to waste my time doing nothing in these eight years.
I am already a fifth-order lower grade refiner, if there are monks who need to refine weapons, I also ask the two seniors to introduce them over, if the refining of magic weapons fails, I will compensate according to the price, and if the refining is successful, only the cost of one spirit stone will be charged. The main reason why I did this was to improve my alchemy. ”
To refine a magic weapon, the cost of materials is about two-thirds, and the remaining one-third is the refiner's expense.
A fifth-order refiner, the profit of refining a magic weapon can be as little as 10,000 yuan and as much as 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and if this part of the cost is reduced, the burden of refining magic weapons can be greatly reduced.
Fifth-order refining materials are already relatively rare on the market, and Zhang Zhixuan visited all the shops in Yunmengcheng before he bought two or three of them, which is not enough to refine a fifth-order magic weapon. If you want to rely on spirit stones to buy fifth-order materials for refining, not only does it take a long time, but the spirit stones in Zhang Zhixuan's hands are far from enough.
Battles in the Sky Splitting Canyon were frequent, and there were more than three hundred Jindan monks active.
In order to facilitate trading, there is a small market nearby, which is not open all year round, and is traded regularly once every three or four years. Under the introduction of Gao Xingtong and other yuanying, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife quickly gained a foothold in the market.
There are acquaintances who introduce you, and soon there will be business to the door. Although the frequency of refining weapons is far less than when he was in Yunmeng City, he can only refine two or three fifth-order magic weapons in a year, but after eight years of accumulation, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills have made a lot of progress, and he has gone further before returning to Qinglihai.
However, to create a natal artifact, his alchemy skills are still not enough.
In the eight years of the Splitting Sky Canyon, Zhang Zhixuan failed to refine the weapon five times, just the loss of materials, as much as more than 200,000 spirit stones, in addition, Qingchan also has to refine a few high-grade spirit stones every year to practice, and they exchanged the high-grade spirit stones obtained by exchanging unicorn insect shells with Jin Yunpeng, and they have consumed ten **.
After waiting for eight years, he finally waited for the Sanssouci Sect to open the teleportation array. After spending 100,000 spirit stones, when they returned to Qinglihai, there were only a few thousand spirit stones left on the two of them.
Such a shabby is not like a master of the Yuan Infant Stage at all.
This time I came to Xiyaozhou to find a pure lotus flower, which took Zhang Zhixuan's twenty-six years of effort. Now his Shouyuan is three hundred and sixty years old, and it has been thirty-six years since he broke through the ninth layer of Jindan.
If there is no sacrifice to cultivate the pure yang ding, his foundation has already reached the juncture of getting married. It's a pity that because of the warmth and cultivation of pure Yangding, Zhang Zhixuan's accumulation is still a little insufficient, and if he wants to hit the bottleneck of Yuanying, he will have to wait for more than ten years.
