Chapter 111: Soul Bottleneck
In the bedroom with a faint sandalwood fragrance, white cigarette smoke rises and coils around the roof. The fresh and unique incense has some effect on awakening the mind, which is very useful for alchemists.
Mu Shi sat on the couch, slowly opened his eyes after adjusting the state to the best, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, brushed the ring on the middle of his left hand with his right hand, and a snow-white and lovely little medicine tripod appeared in Mu Shi's hand, exuding a radiant luster.
Thinking of what happened before refining medicine for Mu Zichen, Mu Shi was a little undecided. Is there really something wrong with your own alchemy, or is it just an accident?
Refining medicine is the most taboo and the mood is impetuous!
Mu Shi shook his head and left the distractions in his mind, reminded himself and calmed down, the soul power of the divine soul was revealed from the center of his eyebrows, injected into Danxue Jingding, and suddenly Danxue Jingding rotated and enlarged, and instantly rose to the size of one meter and fell to the ground lightly.
"Let's refine a little simple hand first." Mu Shi thought for a while, searched for a prescription from his mind, looked at it, selected suitable medicinal materials, and took them out of the ring one by one.
Human-level seven-grade elixir - Soul Protector Pill. It has the effect of warming the soul and healing the injured mental power. As we all know, the divine soul is the foundation of spiritual power, so although this pill is only a human level, it is relatively rare among the human level pills, and it is still very valuable.
Mu Shi combed through the Danfang again, and after confirming it, he summoned the fire element with a movement of his mind. snapped his fingers and rubbed out a whirring flame, threw it into Danxue Jingding, and then controlled and appeased it with soul power, suppressing it at a suitable temperature.
"Let's try it first." Mu Shi hesitated for a moment, put in a medicinal herb that could be refined the best, and calmed down to refine it patiently.
An hour later, Mu Shi already had a lot of powders and liquids around him, with different colors and different aromas.
"Whew, here's what went wrong last time." A trace of hesitation flashed across Mu Shi's face, he exhaled deeply, gritted his teeth and threw all the refined medicinal materials into the Danxue Jingding, calmed his mind, and began to condense the Dan.
Soon, a cratered pill prototype swirled in the flames, and Mu Shi's eyes were happy, "It's successful." ”
As soon as the words fell, the young Dan trembled, and turned into ashes with a soft sound in Mu Shi's slightly changing face.
"Again!" Mu Shi slapped his body unwillingly, angry and scolded. Obviously, it felt very smooth, but as soon as he arrived at Ning Dan, he failed.
"I don't believe it, come again!" Mu Shi was like Xiao Qiang, who couldn't be killed, and after being annoyed alone for a while, he cheered up again, and once again took out low-grade medicinal materials and experimented with them without believing in evil.
The fragrance of medicine, steaming at high temperatures, reflects the unyielding eyes of the young man.
Six hours later.
The twilight was falling, and the warm orange light sprinkled on the small courtyard, crossing a layer of gold.
Mu Zichen walked around the courtyard anxiously, wanting to enter the sealed bedroom from time to time to check, and stopped pushing the door at the door, for fear of interrupting Mu Shi's alchemy.
"Don't worry, what can happen to refining medicine?" Mu Ziqing persuaded helplessly.
"I'm sorry." Mu Zichen walked back and sat on the stone bench, picked up the cold teacup and drank it all.
"If you care, you're messy." Mu Ziqing smiled and patted the other party's shoulder. Mu Zichen coughed lightly and turned his face away unnaturally.
Inside the house, Mu Shi's face was pale, staring closely at the pill that was about to succeed in the medicine ding, and his eyes were black for a while.
"My head hurts...... Mu Shi frowned, his black hair and clothes were already wet with sweat, his eyes were red, and he was embarrassed.
"No, it's going to be successful!" Mu Shi bit the tip of his tongue to stimulate himself to wake up, and once again input soul power to increase the temperature of the flame.
"Stop!" With an angry shout, Beiye instantly appeared beside Mu Shi, his deep voice with a hint of solemnity, and his hand pressed on Mu Shi's back to convey energy.
"No, I can continue." Mu Shi didn't even have a chance to shake his head, just afraid that the pill would be burned again as soon as he relaxed.
"I said stop." Bei Yeyi raised his sword eyebrows and ordered in a cold voice. This little wild cat will rebel against himself.
"No, ......" Mu Shi stubbornly insisted, which made Beiye stunned, and then sighed imperceptibly, his palm shook, and the vast and soft spiritual power shook Mu Shi's fragile mind.
"You ......." Mu Shi at this moment was like fragile glass clinging to the last crack, and when he was touched by the northern night, he instantly collapsed. Mu Shi stared at the medicine tripod with his eyes open and unwillingly, and fell into the arms of Beiye behind him.
"It's not good to be so strong." Beiye stroked Mu Shi's face and reproached softly. Mu Shi only felt a splitting headache, his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
Bei Ye picked up Mu Shi and sent it to the bed, reached out and stroked Mu Shi's forehead and closed his eyes to check, the contract of the twin clans completely revealed Mu Shi's situation, which made Bei Ye's originally frowning eyebrows stretch, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mu Shi, who was pale and sleepy, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he reached out to give Mu Shi a long haircut and said with a low smile, "It turns out that the way of heaven in the dark is fair." ”
After speaking, Bei Ye took off his shoes and socks and covered the quilt for Mu Shi, swept his body to the couch, leaned up lazily, swept around the bedroom furnishings at random, his eyes fell on the bookshelf, his hand grabbed the bookshelf, and the black energy giant hand took out a book at random and sent it to Bei Ye. The north night took the boring flipped up to pass the time.
As time passed, the sky darkened, and Mu Shi showed no signs of waking up. However, no matter how powerful the North Night is, there are things that cannot be involved. Alchemists have strict requirements for soul perception, while ordinary magicians only have strong spiritual power, and the concepts of the two are different. Otherwise, the alchemist would not be so precious.
"Knock knock." A crisp knock sounded at the door. Kitaya raised his head and looked at the door.
"Young Master Mu Shi, are you okay? Is it the end of the medicine? I don't see any movement. Mu Zichen asked worriedly.
“....... The popularity is really good. Bei Ye squinted his eyes and whispered to himself, and then turned into a black mang, and drilled into Mu Shi's spiritual sense, and the book lost its support and fell on the couch with a click.
"I'm in!" Mu Zichen couldn't help but push open the door, walked quickly to the bedroom, and found that there was no Mu Shi, so he was stunned and hurriedly looked around. Finally found Mu Shi's figure on the bed in the inner room.
"Shh Mu Ziqing, who followed up, grabbed Mu Zichen's arm to stop Mu Zichen from entering, and said softly, "Young Master Mu Shi must be tired of refining medicine, don't disturb him." ”
"Okay......" Mu Zichen hesitated and nodded, followed Mu Ziqing out of the inner room, and turned around with three steps and some reluctance.
"People are lying here, what are you worried about?" Mu Ziqing looked at Mu Zichen speechlessly, as if he was parting from life and death, and complained. Mu Zichen touched his head in embarrassment, and quickly followed Mu Ziqing.
The door closed again, and Beiye reappeared, sitting on the edge of the bed with a pair of dark red eyes looking at Mu Shi faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Waiting until the third pole of the moon, Mu Shi finally woke up faintly, and there were some sick figures in the northern night in his blurred vision, and Mu Shi rubbed his eyes. It doesn't matter if you move, as soon as you move, you will find that your headache is splitting, and you can't help but moan when you can't bear the pain when you are in pain.
"Let you be strong." Bei Ye stretched out his hand to rub Mu Shi's temples, and a trace of gentle energy passed through his fingertips, nourishing Mu Shi's weak soul. Mu Shi felt a lot better, humming and chirping, closing his eyes and enjoying the warmth of the northern night.
Seeing that it was almost time for the North Night, he slowly withdrew his hand. Losing the moisture, the pain returned, but it was much better than before. Mu Shi hissed, rubbed his temples and opened his eyes and looked at Bei Ye stupidly, "That....... What the hell is wrong with me? ”
"How long have you been like this?" Beiye asked rhetorically.
Mu Shi frowned, thought about it for a while, and said, "Probably when I came to Yunqi City." ”
Bei Ye hugged his arms and leaned against the bedpost, thoughtfully, looking unfathomable. Mu Shi saw that there was a play, got up and came to Beiye, and looked at Beiye with some expectation, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Bei Ye reached out and pinched Mu Shi's face and asked.
"I forgot ......" Mu Shi also knew that his heart was weak at the moment, and he was honest.
"Call Master." Bei Ye frowned and said coldly.
“....... Master, you know what's going on, right? The hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, Mu Shi swallowed his anger and said. By the way, he pulled the claws of the northern night to take advantage.
Bei Ye was satisfied, let go of his hand and said lightly, "Bottleneck." ”
"Bottleneck?" Mu Shi, who was rubbing his eyebrows, was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened and he was a little stunned, "You said I encountered a bottleneck?" But didn't you say that there is no bottleneck for the Lyric Clan? ”
"That's just for cultivation." Beiye glanced at Mu Shi lazily, and the disgust in his eyes was clear, "You don't think?" All the good luck is really given to you, right? ”
"Forehead......" Mu Shi touched his nose, a little stupid, "You mean, the bottleneck of my alchemy?" ”
Beiye nodded, stood up and walked slowly to the outer room, stroking the quiet Danxue Jingding, losing Mu Shi's soul power, it returned to its palm-sized cute appearance, and was quietly placed on the table by Beiye.
"The first condition for an alchemist is to be a magician. But the most important condition is soul perception. Bei Ye said slowly, "That's innate, it's difficult to cultivate and improve." ”
"Is there a difference between soul power and spirit power?" Mu Shi wondered.
"That's a good question." Bei Ye knocked on the snow-white medicine tripod and looked at Mu Shi, "Soul perception is actually the origin power of the divine soul, and ordinary people can't use it. And the foundation of spiritual power is also provided by the divine soul, but it can be accumulated in the sea of knowledge for a long time, and it can be continuously compressed and purified, and it can grow. ”
"In other words, the difference between the two is between high-level and low-level spiritual power?" After listening to this, Mu Shi thought about it.
"So to speak." Bei Ye nodded, and glanced at Mu Shi approvingly, his comprehension is indeed very high, and he doesn't need to bother to explain it.
"My bottleneck lies in my soul perception?" Mu Shi raised one push and asked rhetorically.
"Not bad. If your soul perception can't be improved, you won't be able to break through alchemy. Bei Ye frowned slightly, "I don't know much about this, it is said that the soul perception is ethereal, and the opportunity to break through basically depends on personal chance." ”
"When will that be?" Mu Shi got out of bed barefoot, picked up the medicine tripod and pursed his lips, accustomed to the smooth practice, and was touched for the first time, it felt really bad.
"I can't wait." Beiye's expression became solemn, "Don't underestimate this bottleneck, you also see the consequences of your forcible refining." ”
"I know." Mu Shi lowered his eyelids, said softly in a low mood, and then took out the ashes in the medicine tripod, and then put the medicine tripod into the storage ring.
"It's time for the show to begin." Seeing this, Beiye diverted the topic and looked at the moon outside the window.
"That's right, that's it!" Mu Shi was reminded, and his eyes lit up, and he ran out as soon as he clenched his fists and raised his spirit.
"Put your shoes on." Beiye scolded, Mu Shi looked down at his two white feet when he heard this, coughed lightly, and knew who took it off for him without thinking about it, and suddenly his face became slightly hot, and he hurriedly turned back to the inner room to put on shoes and socks.
Soon, under the cool moonlight, a dark shadow was reflected.
