Book 1 Mortal Journey Chapter 16 Retreat
Chu Ge returned to the Liufang pawnshop, stayed for another night, and then planned to quit.
This trip to Anding City was really fruitful. As long as you refine the Pei Yuan Pill and recover your body to the best, you can find a place to retreat and try to break through.
Early the next morning, Chu Ge packed up, and Zhao Ke and Xiaoqiu also came to see her off.
"Sister Chu, you ...... You must come again......" Zhao Xiaoqiu's eyes were full of tears, and he pulled Chu Ge's sleeve and was reluctant to let her go.
"Well, will definitely come back." Chu Ge smiled and touched Xiao Qiu's head, "So before that, Xiao Qiu must cultivate well." ”
"I'll try!" The little girl clenched her fists and swore an oath.
"Let's go, young people should go in all directions." Zhao Ke put his hands on Xiaoqiu's shoulders and said goodbye to Chu Ge
"Although I claimed to have traveled all over the Nine Regions of Dongzhou back then, I was only worthy of walking around. This Dongzhou is so big, let Chu girl, you go and see it for me. ”
Chu Ge nodded solemnly, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, took out a few things from the storage bag, and handed them to Zhao Ke
"It's ......"
"This white ink fan and heart goggles are magic weapons that I obtained by chance before, and now they are useless to me, so it is better for you to use them for self-defense. There is also this bottle of elixir, although I don't know the name, I think it will be quite beneficial to cultivate and enter the realm. ”
"Girl, these things are too valuable, or you ...... yourself"
"Aunt Zhao, you can take it, it's also my heart." Chu Ge interrupted Zhao Ke's words.
There was no word for a while.
Dongzhou is huge and boundless. This farewell, I don't know when we will see each other, maybe a goodbye will be forever.
Chu Ge took three steps back, saluted Zhao Ke, and then turned to leave.
The lonely back with the long sword on his back disappeared from the sight of the two.
——
Chu Ge cleaned up his mood, and after coming out of Anding City, he walked towards Lanhe City when he came.
This time, she did not choose the mountain road, but took the official road, sometimes walking, sometimes taking a car, and the journey in four months was shortened by half, and she arrived at Lanhe City in less than two months.
She didn't enter Lanhe City, but went straight to Changyang Mountain, sixty miles away from Lanhe City, and soon arrived at the former stockade of the Black Dragon Zhenren.
This Black Dragon Village is now also empty, leaving a few empty houses, and it seems that there are a lot of things less than when Chu Ge left.
It seems that after this some more people came and moved the valuable things away.
Chu Ge found the "Thousand Illusions Hidden Evil Array" that he had laid out, and he was relieved to see that the formation had not been destroyed, and there was no sign of being broken in.
According to the method of opening the formation, she easily returned to the "Blood Refining Pool" filled with evil aura again.
She put Xiao Zi out of the guard, looked around, and saw that there was no problem, so she manipulated her newly acquired Yama Zihuang Sword, cut out a few stone tables and chairs, and transformed this grotto into a little more like a cave.
She pulled out a futon—a new plush futon she had bought in AndingCity, and the weeds had been thrown away—and sat on it for a moment of contemplation, then took out a Dan stove from her storage bag.
This Dan furnace is exactly what she got from that powerful ghost, it has been useless for a long time, and now it has come in handy.
The way of alchemy, she only knows a little bit from Aunt Zhao's mouth. It is extremely difficult to say that it is a scattered cultivation pill, even if the material pill furnace is gathered, it will be difficult for thousands of monks in terms of fire.
If there is no special creation, then only by cultivating to the golden pill stage can a kind of "true fire" be generated in the body, which is suitable for refining pills or smelting magic weapons.
And for monks below the golden pill, if they can use the sect's alchemy room, it is fine, but the general casual cultivation can only use the mortal fire forging tool for alchemy.
Chu Ge actually doesn't believe in evil a little, I have both Dan Fang and Dan furnace in my hand, I just can't do it step by step according to the Dan Fang's book, what's the difference between a fire?
It didn't take long for her to realize that she was wrong.
A day passed, with a loud "bang", the lid of the Dan furnace was blown away, and Chu Ge himself was covered with ashes.
She was not discouraged, and she didn't think that she could succeed at one time, otherwise what would she do by buying so many materials?
In this way, she continued to refine in the rapid consumption of materials.
After another two weeks, Chu Ge's whole body was blown up.
In the past two weeks, there are not many materials left that she has raised in Anding City, and the Dan furnace has exploded dozens of times.
She began to wonder if she really didn't have the talent for alchemy.
Now the furnace is filled with the last remaining materials. If these also blow up, then she will have to find another way to make up.
Chu Ge unleashed a series of spiritual powers, controlling the fire with his left hand, and catalyzing the kneading materials in the furnace with his right hand.
At the last moment, the furnace body shook violently, a streamer flashed inside, and a fresh danxiang floated out with the wind.
It's done! It's finally done!
Chu Ge couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, reached out and took the refined pill in his hand—only one and a half.
The materials of one furnace should be able to refine three Peiyuan Dan.
Chu Ge's face was both happy and sad. Happily, her body only needed the medicinal power of one Pei Yuan Dan to be enough.
Sadly, the materials worth more than five hundred spirit stones made her defeated...... Only one and a half were refined.
Looking at the white pill with a crystal jade body, Chu Ge was really afraid of falling in his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, so he was reluctant to eat it at all, it was like holding his own son.
Alas, it is still necessary to eat.
Chu Ge calmed down, swallowed Pei Yuan Dan in one gulp, and then meditated on the spot and diffused the medicinal power.
The pure medicinal power dissolves in the body, there seems to be a flame burning in the internal organs, and the crispy and numb feeling climbs up the meridians and bones, stabilizes the origin, and rebuilds the essence and blood!
Within a few hours, Chu Ge felt that the faint feeling of weakness in his body was gone. The Netherworld Technique ran for a small week, unimpeded, and completely recovered to the peak of the tenth layer of Qi refining!
A piece of spiritual power swung out casually, making a three-finger-deep scratch on the stone wall.
The effect of this Pei Yuan Dan is really good, and I still have to refine more in the future to try it, even if I don't use it, it should be good to take it out and sell it.
Now that the body has healed, it is time to consider making a breakthrough.
Chu Ge pondered for a moment, and first put his divine sense into the jade pendant.
Four stone tablets with cheats written on them were placed in front of her.
Netherworld Technique, Three-Turn Exorcism Technique, Thousand Illusions Hidden Evil Array, and Sword Technique on the Other Side.
These four cheats, no matter which one they are, are not something that can be mastered overnight, especially ghost arts and formations, among which the methods are even more numerous.
But Chu Ge has limited time now, so he still focuses on realm breakthrough first, and he must make a trade-off.
If it were to be replaced by other casual cultivation, he might still have to run around in order to find suitable exercises, but Chu Ge saved these troubles.
The Netherworld Secret must not be let go, this is the foundation of her cultivation. As for the last three, she still decided to focus on the sword technique on the other side.
This is also to make up for the shortcomings of their own attack methods.
Exorcism and hidden evil arrays, wait until you build your own foundation, and then it's not too late to study.
The decision has been made, Chu Ge's divine sense withdrew from the jade pendant, took out two bottles of pills from the storage bag, and put them beside him-
It was the Luohe Dan that she snatched from Li Sanguang, a disciple of the Three Xuanmen.
Although she still doesn't know the name, she has tried one before, and she knows that it is used to improve mana, otherwise she would not have left a bottle for Aunt Zhao and them.
Everything was ready, there was a formation to cover it, and coupled with Xiao Zi's protector, Chu Ge devoted himself to cultivation.
The rolling evil qi is introduced into the body under the action of the exercises, turning into spiritual power, rushing to the acupoints and expanding the pulse......
——
The cold comes and the summer comes, the spring goes and the autumn comes.
On Changyang Mountain, the scorching sun is in the sky, and birds are circling.
In the woods of the valley, a crow rests on a branch, as if sheltering from the heat under the leaves.
At this moment, a gust of wind swept under the tree, and the crow was startled and flew away with a scream.
The wind passed, and the mountains and forests, which were originally empty, suddenly had an additional Taoist temple.
A woman pushed open the door of the temple and walked out.
She was wearing a plain white skirt, light makeup, and her temperament was like an orchid.
"It still failed......
It is Chu Ge who retreats in this Changyang Mountain.
Two full years have passed since that day of retreat.
Counting the time, she is now twenty years old, but because she has taken the Dingyan Pill, she still maintains the appearance of when she was seventeen.
Seeing that the sun was poisonous, she waved her hand towards the pond on the side and played a spiritual power exercise, cut off a large lotus leaf, held it above her head, and used it as a shade.
The spiritual power was extremely condensed, and the mana power revealed made the frogs stop screaming and the cicadas stopped chirping.
The thirteenth layer of gas refining, the gas refining is complete!
Chu Ge paced slowly around the pond, she was not in a hurry to leave, but thought about the way out in the future.
With the assistance of the long-extinct Luohe Dan, coupled with the power of the blood pool, she had reached the peak realm of the Qi Refining Period in a year and a half.
I wanted to go straight to the foundation building realm in one go, but in the end I couldn't do it.
So much so that she drained the entire pool of blood, and now that there was no more evil qi available here, the cultivation of the realm slowed down.
In fact, Chu Ge could also continue to retreat, relying on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to continue his cultivation, but this could not give full play to the advantages of the Netherworld.
Only by absorbing the yin qi of the world can we break through the realm at the fastest speed.
Of course, with the power of her alien spirit root, it is not slow to absorb the aura of heaven and earth......
Chu Ge took out an item from the storage bag and played with it in his hand.
It was a palm-sized stone, dark brown with blood-red cracks.
This is a bonus. After Chu Ge drained the pool of blood, the stone was revealed from the bottom of the pool.
According to the records of the formation, this stone is called "Condensing Stone", which is a natural thing, and if it is placed in a certain water source for a long time, it will gradually turn the water source into a pool of blood condensed by evil qi.
With this stone, you can use it as an array at any time in the future to lay down a hidden evil array.
"Isn't it really so difficult to break through to the foundation building realm without 'Tsukidan'?"
The so-called Foundation Building Pill is an elixir that Qi refining cultivators need when they break through to the Foundation Building Realm, which can increase the probability of foundation building success by two to three percent.
Don't underestimate these two or three percent, how many qi refining cultivators in the world, just because of this pass, they will stop refining qi for the rest of their lives, and it will be difficult to make progress in cultivation.
It's a pity that this Tsukidan is not easy to get. Whether it is the finished pill or the refining method, it is firmly in the hands of the big sect. If there is no great creation, it is difficult for ordinary monks to attain it.
Tsukidan, Tsukidan...... Chu Ge had words in his mouth, and his eyes looked through the mountains, looking at the far north.
According to what she originally thought, at least she had to reach the foundation building realm first, and then she would have the power to protect herself in this cultivation realm.
For the sake of this Tsukidan, it seems that you still have to break through.
Northern Coldland, I'm coming!
