(The new book thinks it's good, please support it, help collect it, thank you here!, the update time is temporarily fixed at 8 am and 8 pm.) )
Lin Qin was stunned, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the ghost old man's gourd, he stood there speechless for a while, and said, "You mean...... I failed to break through the cycle of reincarnation, and it was all because of that broken tripod?"
The ghost old man brushed his beard and said: "Ding? Yes, it should be the Zhenguo Artifact, but I don't know which side of the Ding was cast by Emperor Yu at the beginning." ”
Lin Qin sorted out his thoughts, didn't immediately agree, and asked suspiciously: "Senior, if you are a waste person now, is there any way to recover?"
"Nope. The ghost old man replied directly.
Lin Qin was speechless for a while, thinking that the ghost old man had something to do, but even the last trace of hope in his heart was destroyed by the ghost old man. "So, in the next ......" he raised his head, although he had developed a tough character since he was a child, at this time, he still asked with some excitement: "Senior, is it ...... Is there really nothing I can do...... Cultivated again?"
The old man looked up, then nodded heavily. "Your situation is very special, originally logically speaking, you are already a living dead, even if you are a spiritual cultivator in the reincarnation realm, the spiritual energy in your body will not be so scattered all over your body. The Yuan Vein is still dominated by Yuan Qi, but it is just a matter of using the Spiritual Weapon to blend Yin and Yang with the Yuan Qi in the Dao Palace to break through the realm. But now...... Feel it for yourself. ”
The ghost old man had long been aware of the situation in Lin Qin's body, only that palace, like a mystery, was surrounded by the underworld qi, and he couldn't see the reality clearly. Seeing the look of loneliness on Lin Qin's face, he shook his head and said, "You listen to me after I finish speaking, my Guiguzi has accepted two stupid apprentices in this life, of course, plus you are a fool." The first two, although they were always clumsy when they followed me, are now somewhat capable. Have you ever said the names of Saint Xuyang and Qiu Yan?"
"Dan Emperor and Demon Emperor?" Lin Qin asked rhetorically with some stagnation. These few people standing at the pinnacle of the continent, Lin Qin naturally knew. The name of the master, naturally, is not mentioned, even a three-year-old child knows that there is a academy in Tianqing, and there is a master in the academy. The Bafang Masters below are also famous, and they are all powerful and powerful domain masters. Although the second emperor is only the peak of Dazai, his name is not inferior to the top nine. One is an elixir master, and the other is a demon refiner.
Today, exercises, Yuan techniques, elixirs, and spirit beasts have been fully developed, which can not only improve the realm of spiritual cultivators, but also improve their combat effectiveness. Exercises and techniques can rely on ancient records, but consumables such as pills and spirit beasts still have to rely on two special identities - elixir master and demon refiner.
Alchemy pays attention to prescriptions, fire control, and medicinal materials, and it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the medicinal properties and toxicity of various medicinal materials. Because it consumes too much energy, few big sects and family talents will take this road. But elixir is an indispensable consumable, in addition to acquisition, there are also many sects and families that will recruit elixir masters. This is also a shortcut for some spiritual cultivators who have no power background to go to glory. However, the requirements of the elixir master for talent, soul perception and heart are even more demanding, so the masters who can practice more than seven grades of elixir are almost extinct in the outside world, and there are only some big sects, big families with strong backgrounds, and maybe such old worshippers.
Compared to the elixir master, the demon alchemist is more mysterious. A tame spirit beast, in order to obtain more spirit skills, has to strip the beast soul from other spirit beasts, extract spirit skills, and absorb spirit skills. This series of techniques is the foundation for demon alchemists to make a living. The strength of the spirit skills that the spirit beast can absorb completely depends on the skill of the demon refiner.
Emperor Dan Shengxuyang, the art of alchemy is unparalleled, legend has it that Emperor Tianqing and the master of Moxiu have to prepare gifts to the Dan domain every year to show respect. Fortunately, the Danhuang Saint Xuyang has a general understanding and no ambitions, and this Dan Domain, which is in the sensitive area between the Western Immortal Domain and the Tianqing Empire, serves as a buffer area for the two forces. Compared with the Dan Emperor, the name of the Demon Emperor Qiu Yan was even louder in the Great Western Regions, and Lin Qin had only heard the elders of the clan mention it in the Southern Immortal Domain.
"Heh, Dan Emperor, Demon Emperor. These two stupid people still have the face to be crowned emperors, are the people of this continent dead?"
Regarding the ghost old man's clear and deprecating praise, Lin Qin could only express his speechlessness. Just now he said proudly that the old man had accepted whoever he had in his life, have you heard of it, and then when Lin Qin said the name of the second emperor, the ghost old man's disdainful and even somewhat contemptuous eyes were exactly the same as when he had just reluctantly accepted him as a closed disciple.
"Hehe, that's your senior's extraordinary strength. This Dan Emperor and Demon Emperor are your descendants, and it is a blessing to be fortunate to be able to worship the ancestors of the Guigu Valley. Lin Qin also understood that this person who dared to say that he was the master of the Second Emperor was definitely not an ordinary person, since he had the intention, of course he could not miss this opportunity. Demon refiner Lin Qin didn't know, but he knew how important an elixir master had on the family.
The Lin family can also be regarded as a force in Fengcheng, standing side by side with the blue and tiger families. However, it has been faintly pressed by the other two, because the Haqing elixir masters of the Blue and Tiger families have carved up all the Fang markets on the Fengcheng Pill, and the Lin family can only stabilize their family's position by relying on a few yuan stone deposits on their ancestors.
The elixir is precious, but this elixir master is like an old hen that lays golden eggs, and it is even more popular.
The ghost old man saw Lin Qin's somewhat shocked look, and said with a smile: "Cleanly, to be honest, the two of them are indeed stupid." Alchemy and demon refining have different paths, and if they can prove each other left and right, and reach the level of reaching the peak, it is the highest level of alchemy in my Ghost Valley. ”
"What?" Lin Qin was a little surprised. Not to mention two doors, even if it is a single door, it is difficult to be proficient, and the ghost old man turned out to be an elixir master and a demon alchemist.
The ghost old man said: "Are you surprised? Demon refining and alchemy extraction are all based on strong soul perception, taking its essence and removing its dross, as long as the soul perception is strong enough, the left hand is alchemy, the right hand is refining the demon, why not?" The ghost old man's tone was full of arrogance. Of course, he has enough capital to be able to teach the Dan Emperor and the Demon Emperor, how can he be an ordinary person?
Lin Qin hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his head and said: "Senior, the qualifications are dull, and the two predecessors of the Dan Emperor and the Demon Emperor can't enter your eyes, not to mention that in the next, thanks to the seniors, you can only learn the craft of alchemy in the next class, and you won't ...... it."
"Do you think I'm giving you a multiple-choice question? Sheng Xuyang and Qiu Yan, it's not that they didn't choose Guigu, it's that Guigu didn't choose them! Although I promised to accept you as an apprentice, it was just a person, as for whether you have the ability to inherit the Guigu lineage. He pointed to the endless wall on the edge of the wooden house, "Nine days, use your soul perception to perceive it, the inheritance of the Guigu lineage, it has the final say, I don't count it." ”
Lin Qin looked over from the door of the wooden house and saw the magical wall. When he was fished up from the River Styx, he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. A hazy medicine garden, unable to see the reality inside, coupled with this seemingly endless wall, this small space is full of mystery.
"It's only nine days. I was able to give you this opportunity because of your perseverance in knocking on the door of the Nine Days by the River Styx. Hello cherish yourself. ”
Lin Qin nodded and said, "Since the seniors value it, then do your best!"
The two didn't say a few words, and the big black dog on the side of the wooden house suddenly woke up and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, you dead old man, this person is not alive, what nonsense are you talking about, let it go, let me go! ”
The ghost old man sneered and said, "You shut up for me." I want to let you go, unless there are big living people outside this wall, otherwise the old man will die and you will be buried with you!"
"Bah, Lao Tzu is still young, and you are only going to enter the ground. The big black dog cursed viciously.
Lin Qin held his breath and stared, looking at this endless long wall, knowing that he would take a different path from today onwards. His consciousness began to enter the long journey.
