Chapter Ninety-Two: The First Trial of the Pill
After the two of them chose the direction, they ran for more than a hundred miles in one go, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't hold on any longer, found a seemingly safe place, and meditated with Mu Lingqing.
After a day and a night, Ren Xiaoyao finally refined the residual medicinal effect of the Huiqi Pill, and because of the effect of the Huiyuan Pill, the lost essence was also replenished, and the mana of the body was restored to the best state, but the body was still very tired, which was not something that could be restored lightly by meditating. Seeing that Mu Lingqing had also completely recovered, Ren Xiaoyao asked Mu Lingqing to help protect the Fa, and fell asleep when he fell to the ground, and this sleep was three days and three nights.
Three days later, Ren Xiaoyao woke up, moved his muscles and bones, and felt more comfortable than ever. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao yawned and stretched his waist after waking up, Mu Lingqing, who had been meditating on the side, also took his work, opened his eyes, looked at Ren Xiaoyao, and smiled.
"I've worked hard for you these past few days, is there nothing wrong?" Ren Xiaoyao asked casually with a smile.
Originally, after what happened in Chishui before, Ren Xiaoyao felt that he couldn't trust anyone else anymore, but what happened in the past few days made Ren Xiaoyao like the immortal cultivation world again, because he felt that he could trust Mu Lingqing. In the three days that Ren Xiaoyao was asleep, Mu Lingqing could have taken the storage bags of the two monks and left, but she didn't, and she had been guarding Ren Xiaoyao.
It seems that although the immortal cultivation world is cruel, it is not unbelievable!
"Except for a first-level demon beast that came over the next day and was killed by me, there is nothing else. This is the storage bag of those two people, so let's divide it with Brother Yang. After a simple answer to Ren Xiaoyao, Mu Lingqing threw over two storage bags.
"Also, let's go to the edge of the Demon Beast Forest next, maybe these two people's storage bags can help us a little, so let's divide them. We killed these two together, and we don't need to see each other too much, so let's divide them evenly. With a wave of one hand, the two storage bags were opened one after another, and things were scattered all over the ground.
Spirit stones, the sum of the two storage bags, a total of more than 7,200 spirit stones;
Pills, a total of thirty-two lower-grade Juling Pills, twelve lower-grade Huiqi Pills, and one Huiyuan Pill;
Spirit runes, three low-grade vajra talismans, five low-grade light talismans, three earth escape talismans, and thirteen other lower-grade attack talismans;
Materials, most of which are materials for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill or Returning Qi Pill, and a small number of other materials, including ore materials and elixir materials;
**, a total of seven or eight**, but Ren Xiaoyao is only interested in the earth escape technique and the tornado technique.
Spiritual weapons, three ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon flying swords, and the strange middle-grade spiritual weapon of the monk surnamed Jin.
Other, a small protective formation, should be able to be used as a protective formation for the cave.
Seeing that everything had been cleaned up, Ren Xiaoyao said to Mu Lingqing:
"I have plans to learn alchemy next, so I want all these alchemy materials, among those spirit runes, I only need one earth escape talisman, and the rest will be given to you, half of the spirit stone pills, Hui Yuan Dan will be given to me, ** shared, we can all study and comprehend, Lingqing, do you think this is okay?"
"I don't have an opinion, just listen to Brother Yang. Mu Lingqing happily put the things that belonged to her into the storage bag, and she didn't move some things that Ren Xiaoyao didn't make clear who belonged to them. If it weren't for Ren Yao, she might not be able to save her life, let alone get so many spirit stone materials.
Seeing that Mu Lingqing did not move the magic circle, spirit weapon, ** and some ore materials on the ground, Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly, took out the two medium-grade spirit weapons that he had extorted from the monk surnamed Na Ye from the storage bag, and sent them to Mu Lingqing.
"This medium-grade spirit sword and medium-grade shield should be suitable for your use, it will be yours, the other things will be mine, and the other spiritual weapons will belong to me, that small protective magic circle will be placed here for me to share in the future, how about it?"
"Thank you, Brother Yang. Mu Lingqing happily took the two medium-grade spirit weapons.
Mu Lingqing knew that this was Ren Xiaoyao letting her, these two spirit weapons were really suitable for her, and other things were completely useless to her, at most they were just changing spirit stones. And this medium-grade spirit sword replaces the low-grade spirit sword she is using in her hand, plus a medium-grade shield, she can increase her attack and protection ability by half.
"Okay, let's go on the road after the things are divided, first go to the edge of the Demon Beast Forest for a simple experience, and then go to Red Earth City, so that we can avoid those with bad intentions for a short time, and when we recover, we will not be afraid. ”
......
In this way, a duo came to the edge of the demon beast forest and began their life of hunting demon beasts and searching for spirit grass.
It's been a month in the blink of an eye, and for more than a month, the two of them have been on the road, and in addition, they have cultivated. This place is still some distance from the real edge of the Demon Beast Forest, there are not many second-level demon beasts, and there are few first-level demon beasts. Occasionally, you can pick one or two spirit grasses, but they are all low-grade spirit grasses of very low age, and they are not worth a few spirit stones.
Every night, they set up the small protective magic circle and rested and cultivated in it. In the first half of the night, Ren Xiaoyao cultivated, Mu Lingqing slept in the magic circle, and in the second half of the night, that is, an hour or two before dawn, Mu Lingqing defended, and Ren Xiaoyao slept in the magic circle. Although the lonely man and widow had many inconveniences during the journey, Ren Xiaoyao was so focused on cultivation that he had no other thoughts at all, and he was also very reasonable to avoid when he should avoid, so he got along along the way, and the relationship between the two became more harmonious.
After the last battle, Ren Xiaoyao urgently felt the gap in mana caused by the lack of realm, so he was even more eager to improve his cultivation. All the lower-grade Gathering Spirit Pills on his body have been taken in more than a month, and Ren Xiaoyao, the top-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, is going to take it when he breaks through the realm, and he is usually reluctant to use it at all. After trying the benefits of the pill to improve his cultivation, Ren Xiaoyao was even more eager to get more pills. The lack of pills is a problem that Ren Xiaoyao urgently needs to solve now, and it is time to start alchemy. Starting from Chishui's storage bag, to the storage bag of the monk who was not a monk, to the alchemy materials obtained from killing those two monks a month ago, plus some alchemy materials specially bought in the Misty Mountain Fang City, the materials on Ren Xiaoyao's body now can already refine about a dozen furnaces of Qi and Blood Pills and two or three furnaces of Gathering Spirit Pills.
After deciding, Ren Xiaoyao specially asked Mu Lingqing, a half-baked "alchemy master", for some knowledge of alchemy, and also studied some of the spiritual bamboo slips about alchemy that he had obtained before, and finally took out the Dan prescription of the Qi and Blood Pill sent by the wooden shopkeeper, and studied it carefully, so that seven days passed in a row, and Ren Xiaoyao said hello to Mu Lingqing and began alchemy.
Although this Qi and Blood Pill does not have much effect on Ren Xiaoyao at this stage, it is the easiest to refine among the pills.
Ren Xiaoyao first meditated for more than an hour, and after recovering his spirit and body to the best state, he first took out the alchemy furnace that he had obtained from the Five Elements Dao people, and after refining it, he suspended it one meter in front of him. After that, Ren Xiaoyao stretched out one hand, five fingers and one finger, and a stream of fire spiritual power condensed in the palm of his hand, forming a wisp of flame and burning on the palm. Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his hand, and the flame flew out of his hand and flew under the alchemy furnace. Ren Xiaoyao pinched the trick again, and the flames dispersed, covering the entire bottom of the alchemy furnace. After a while, the entire alchemy furnace was heated, and Ren Xiao controlled the output of the fire spiritual power to keep the alchemy furnace in a preheated state. At this point, the first step is complete.
Next, Ren Xiaoyao took out the seven materials for refining the Qi and Blood Pill that had been classified in advance from the storage bag, took one of the Spirit Cultivation Grass, suspended it with spiritual power, and then summoned a flame according to the method of the first step and placed it under the Spirit Cultivation Grass. As soon as he came into contact with the Spirit Cultivation Grass, the Spirit Cultivation Grass burned violently, a light smoke rose, and about a third of the Spirit Cultivation Grass turned into ashes, and the rest was also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. By the time it was about a third of the way it had been burned, the speed of the reduction in the size of the Spirit Cultivation Grass had been very slow, and only a stream of thick green liquid was left on Ren Xiaoyao's palm, tumbling like boiling water. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyao slowly increased the output of fire spiritual power, increased the temperature of the flame, and the volume of the concentrated green liquid decreased a little faster, and the dark green was also becoming lighter, and finally after the liquid color was set to a light green, no matter how Ren Xiaoyao burned, the volume color no longer changed. At this time, Ren Xiaoyao moved the liquid into the alchemy furnace and used the alchemy furnace to warm the liquid.
As concocted, Ren Xiaoyao also refined the remaining six elixirs into liquid and put them into the alchemy furnace, but the refining process of each elixir is different, some have a higher temperature, some take a longer time, some only take a certain part of the elixir's body to refine, and some are not liquids, but take the remaining solid from the last roast. In short, Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to hold it up, and he strictly followed the Dan Fang to operate.
After the seven elixirs were mixed into one in the alchemy furnace, Ren Xiao controlled the flame to slowly raise the temperature of the alchemy furnace, and from time to time used spiritual power to stir, beat, lift and other actions to promote the liquid to be fully mixed. The mixed liquid was constantly boiling and tumbling in the alchemy furnace, and the volume became smaller and smaller, and the viscosity became larger and larger, and when it was reduced to the initial half, the fluidity of the liquid was already poor, almost paste-like.
From the time when the mixed liquid medicine was first formed, until now, Ren Xiaoyao has played the same method every once in a while, forcing the medicinal qi in the alchemy furnace and the spiritual energy in heaven and earth into the medicinal liquid, and with the increase of the viscosity of the medicinal liquid, the use of this method is getting more and more frequent. This method is called soul transfer, which is to move the spiritual power to a specific part, and it is one of the most common methods in the alchemy process. In addition, there are several common alchemy techniques such as spiritual absorption, spirit absorption, and spirit gathering. Different recipes are difficult to learn, and the effects are also very different, and when refining high-grade pills, you even need different recipes to use them together. Ren Xiaoyao chose the easiest to practice the spirit transfer technique to alchemy, and he also wanted to take it step by step. Moreover, it is this soul transfer technique, although it is easy to learn, but it is difficult to use it to master it, and there is a great correlation between alchemists of different levels. The quality of the use of the Soul Shifting Technique is related to the amount of spiritual power that can be preserved in the elixir and the amount of medicinal effect.
When the volume of the medicinal liquid was reduced to the original quarter, the liquid in the alchemy furnace had already turned into an ointment, and the medicinal fragrance emitted from the ointment had become stronger and stronger. Ren Xiaoyao saw that the time was almost up, his eyes opened sharply, and he slapped his palm on the alchemy furnace, and a large amount of mana was injected into the alchemy furnace, urging the alchemy furnace to rotate slowly, and the rotation speed became faster and faster as time passed. As the alchemy furnace rotated, the ointment in the furnace was also driven to roll on a specific track in the alchemy furnace, and as it rolled, the shape of the ointment changed from irregular to regular, and slowly split more than a dozen small balls in the rolling.
