Chapter 173: Words Don't Speculate
More than 200 miles further from the Ubulang Pass, there is a place called Tianji Peak.
Tianji Peak is a mountain with an altitude of more than 5,000 zhang.
The vegetation on the mountain peaks is sparse, and the terrain is very treacherous.
It is said that in the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes, there is neither the sun nor the moon, and the temperature should be constant everywhere.
But for some reason, from two-thirds of Tian Ji Peak upwards, the temperature has become cold suddenly, and the higher it goes, the lower the temperature is, after exploring the monks of Tian Ji Peak, there is still a quarter of the position from the top of Tian Ji Peak, the temperature has been as low as minus 50 degrees.
More than minus 50 degrees Celsius is basically the limit that a Qi cultivation period monk can resist low temperatures, so no one has explored it at the height of a quarter of the highest part of Tian Ji Peak.
Although Tian Jifeng is bitterly cold at the heights and the vegetation is scarce, there is a main medicinal material that can refine Zhuji Dan - withered cold roots.
The area where the dry roots grow is very peculiar, and it must be extremely cold and there must be no snow. It is said that once the dry roots meet the snow, they will freeze and die.
Under normal natural circumstances, once it is an extremely cold area, it will basically be covered with snow, and it is really difficult to find a place where there is no snow in the extreme cold.
But Tian Jifeng happens to belong to this kind of region.
The withered cold root is the most important medicinal material for refining Tsukidan, and it is also the most difficult to find.
It is said that Zhuji Dan can only be regarded as a second-grade pill at most, and it is not very difficult to refine, and generally alchemists who have reached the second grade can basically refine it.
But it is precisely because of the extreme scarcity of withered cold roots that this has caused the extreme scarcity of Tsukidan.
In fact, the first area chosen by the monks who entered the Jifeng Heavenly Caves was Tian Jifeng.
A ninth-level Qi cultivation monk is already the limit of the Qi cultivation period, once he crosses this hurdle, he will ascend to the sky in one step and become a respected foundation building period monk, and his life span will be more than tripled.
But it is precisely because of the serious shortage of Zhuji Dan that there will be ninety percent of the ninth-level Qi cultivation cultivators, who will be stuck in the ninth-level Qi cultivation for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, most of the monks chose Tian Jifeng first, of course, they all came for the dry cold roots.
Once you get the dry cold root, then you can get the Tsukidan, and you will have at least 70% certainty. The rest of the medicinal herbs were not so difficult to collect.
If the quantity is large, you can directly exchange the dry cold root from the sect for Zhuji Dan
Su Qing first chose to come to Tian Jifeng, of course, he also came for the dry cold roots.
Su Qing has a small vase space, if you want to build a foundation, you don't need to build a foundation, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can build a foundation.
But why did Su Qing go to Tian Jifeng to look for the withered cold root, of course, he came for the huge value of the withered cold root.
Although the withered cold root can only be regarded as a second-level medicinal material at most, because of the extreme scarcity, its value is high, and it is by no means lower than the fourth-level medicinal material, or even higher than the fourth-level medicinal material.
Medicinal materials above level four, of course, there are also in the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes.
But because the monk has entered the Jifeng Heavenly Cave several times, wherever the monk has set foot on it, all the high-grade medicinal materials have basically been collected by the monk, and if you want to get more medicinal materials above the fourth level, you can only go to those places that have not been set foot by the monk to find them.
The area that has not been set foot by monks, after all, for all monks, everything is unknown, maybe they didn't find high-level medicinal materials, but they encountered high-level demon beasts, it is a great danger of death, it is better to come to Tian Jifeng to try it first, after all, Tian Jifeng has a withered cold root is recognized, maybe he is more cold-resistant than other monks, and can reach a higher height, if he encounters a large number of withered cold roots, this trip to Jifeng Heavenly Cave can be regarded as a big profit.
It can be said that although Su Qing came for the huge value of the withered cold root, if the withered cold root was sold directly, Su Qing really didn't look at this bit of spirit stone.
Su Qing's real purpose in collecting the withered cold root was to see if he could improve the medicinal properties of the Zhuji Dan and refine the improved Zhuji Dan.
Now the lowest-grade Tsukidan on the market is worth more than 10,000 spirit stones. Su Qing estimated that if he could refine the improved Zhuji Pill, its medicinal effect would be increased by at least more than three percent.
More than 30% of the efficacy means that the success rate of foundation building can be increased by at least 20%.
Increasing the success rate of foundation building by 20% does not seem to be very high, but in the eyes of the monks who are preparing to build the foundation, it is a remarkable achievement.
Many times, just because of the difference of one percent, or even half of the percent, how many Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivators were blocked out of the foundation building period, thus increasing the difficulty of building the foundation several times next time. It can be seen how rare the probability of two percent is.
It was precisely because Su Qing saw this that if he could refine the improved Zhuji Dan, the selling price would at least increase by about three times.
One Zhuji Dan is more than 30,000 spirit stones, and if there are enough dry cold roots, wouldn't Su Qing's spirit stones be as many as there are?
Su Qing drove the spaceship and flew directly to the height of two-thirds of the height of Tian Jifeng, where the temperature began to get colder, and as far as the eye could see, there were already a lot of tents scattered on the mountainside that was sixty or seventy miles long, and there was no doubt that these monks were all coming for the cold roots.
Su Qing originally planned to directly drive the spaceship to a higher place and then land, but he didn't expect that at this altitude, the temperature was already unbearable, especially when the spacecraft was in flight, and the aura shield on the spacecraft could no longer resist the invasion of the severe cold, Su Qing suddenly shivered from the cold, and hurriedly landed the spaceship.
Su Qing had just landed the spaceship in an open space without tents, when he saw that in the two tents hundreds of meters away, there were already monks coming out.
"Huh, which sect is this bad kid, it's cold resistant, and he can fly the spaceship directly to this height."
"Hmm, why are you still a child? This spaceship seems to be a high-grade flying magic weapon, good thing, let's go and have a look."
The monk who came out of a tent spoke without fear, and his voice blew in the cold wind. While speaking, the four monks who came out of the tent had already run towards Su Qing.
Five monks came out of the tent on the other side, looked at Su Qing for a while, and one of the monks said in surprise: "It's a disciple of Ling Mang Sect, why did he come here alone? Isn't this looking for death?", after speaking, seeing the monk on the opposite side running towards Su Qing, he also hurriedly said: "This kid is in danger, let's go quickly, let's go over and have a look."
Looking at the robes worn by these five people, they turned out to be all Tianfeng Sect monks.
Looking at the monks running from both sides, Su Qing put away the spaceship without care, and when he saw that one side was a monk of the Tianfeng Sect, Su Qing hugged his fists and said to the monk of the Tianfeng Sect: "It turned out to be several senior brothers of the Tianfeng Sect, Su Qing is polite here."
"It's not good, they actually know each other" The monk on the other side, who didn't know which sect, saw Su Qing and the Tianfeng Sect monk greeting, and immediately stopped, and said with some disappointment.
The other three also looked disappointed, looking at the monk who spoke, a little undecided.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look, it's getting dark now, Senior Brother Luo, Senior Brother Hou, and Senior Brother Ma are coming back soon after going up to collect medicine, and the seven of us don't need to be afraid of them," said the monk who began to speak.
"That is, look at that newcomer who is a seventh-level Qi refining cultivator, this cultivation will dare to enter the Jifeng Heavenly Grotto, there must be a lot of good things on his body, if he can get his hands on that high-grade flying magic weapon, it will be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones" A monk next to him said with envy.
"That is, although they both know who each other is, they don't seem to know each other, so the five monks don't necessarily care about what this kid has, or let's see the situation first," one monk said cautiously.
"The little third son is still thoughtful, so let's see what they do first" The monk who spoke first praised his junior brother and stopped. Then, the monk shouted towards Su Qing: "Daoist friends of Ling Mang Sect opposite, we are disciples of the Daoming Alliance of the Malay Kingdom, our Daoming Alliance may not have heard of it, although our Daoming Alliance is only a loose cultivation alliance, however, our Daoming Alliance disciples have always been kind to others, and the junior brother has just come to Tian Jifeng, right? I am Xie Changxue of the Daoming Alliance, how about we make friends?"
How's that? Not so good.
At the beginning, Su Qing had already heard the conversation between the four people of the Daoming Alliance, and now that he saw that he knew the five monks of the Tianfeng Sect, he wanted to throw a stone to ask for directions, obviously not having a good heart.
Su Qing turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the Daoming Alliance monks and stood there waiting for the five monks of the Tianfeng Sect to arrive.
"How did you do it? This kid is the seventh layer of qi refining, how did he enter the Jifeng Heavenly Cave?" The five monks of the Tianfeng Sect ran not far from Su Qing, and one of them suddenly stopped, looked at Su Qing with some puzzlement and said.
"If you dare to enter the Jifeng Heavenly Cave at the seventh level of Qi refining, a child has a high-grade flying magic weapon in his hand, isn't this a gift to other sect monks?" said one of the monks, his eyes full of greed.
"What nonsense, we are allies with the Ling Mang Sect, if this Ling Mang Sect disciple is in trouble, we can help. A monk of the Tianfeng Sect glared fiercely at the two disciples who spoke, obviously a little dissatisfied with the fact that the two senior brothers were not paying attention to the occasion, glared at the two of them, and said: "Let's go, go over and see, Ling Mang Sect and our Tianfeng Sect are allies, how can we not let the monks of other sects take advantage."
When the other four monks heard this, they obviously understood what their senior brother meant, and hurriedly followed towards Su Qing.
"This Senior Brother Su, Su Shiluo, a disciple of the inner sect of the Lower Heavenly Peak Sect, when did Ling Mang Sect produce such a genius as Senior Brother Su, our Tianfeng Sect didn't know anything, Ling Mang Sect is really a Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger. However, Senior Brother Su only had the seventh layer of Qi refining, so he dared to enter the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes, Senior Brother, I don't understand, what did the seniors of the Ling Mang Sect think? You know, the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes, but it is too dangerous," the monk led by the Tianfeng Sect said to Su Qing first.
But when he was talking to Su Qing, he didn't salute Su Qing, which shows that he didn't take Su Qing much in his heart.
"Hehe! This Senior Brother Su thinks too much, his cultivation is low, and his strength is not necessarily low, didn't Senior Brother think that Senior Brother I would also have two unique skills in my hands?" Su Qing had already seen that although these monks were allies of the Ling Mang Sect and the monks of the Tianfeng Sect, these monks obviously showed that they also had some plans against themselves, so Su Qing did not be too polite to the other party, and said indifferently.
The other party listened to Su Qing's words, and was obviously stunned, obviously having heard that Su Qing didn't care about him. A little anger suddenly appeared on his face, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said unabashedly: "Senior Brother Su is young, and he is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. But this is the Jifeng Heavenly Grottoes, not in the sect, no matter if you have a big backer, here, you must also speak with strength. Senior Brother Su wouldn't think that with a few high-grade magic weapons in his hands, there would be no one to beat in this Jifeng Heavenly Grotto, right?"
"No one is invincible, but here, there is no need for a few senior brothers to protect you, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, if a few senior brothers have nothing to do, please go away" Su Qing simply shook his hand, and no longer bothered the other party, reached out and took out a tent from your storage bag, and prepared to set it up.
Now that it is getting late, I can't go to the heights of Tian Jifeng today, so I can only wait for tomorrow.
