When Lin Shan heard that the big boss Zuo Zhenren was going to meet him, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the maid to the fifth floor.

In the antique living room, an old man without eyebrows was playing with an iron egg in his hand, leaning on a chair and closing his eyes, and the tea on the table next to him was still steaming.

"The junior Lin Shan has seen Zuo Zhenren."

"Sit!"

Lin Shan sat down at the bottom of his head, only to see that Zuo Zhenren was still playing with his eyes closed, and he was talking about the auction.

"This year's Yichuan auction is about to be held, and the time for you to leave the customs is just right now."

"In the past, the auctions were presided over by the former chief appraiser Zhang Lao, and now that you have taken his place, it stands to reason that you should preside over the auction in two days."

Lin Shan listened to the following quietly, and he believed that Zuo Zhenren would not be untargeted.

"But your cultivation has not yet reached the foundation building period, I am afraid that you will not be able to control the field, and under the eyes of many monks, you may not be able to withstand the pressure from all sides, so I handed over the work of presiding over to others."

"What do you think?"

Zuo Zhenren's tone was calm, but he didn't have a negotiating attitude at all, just stating a fact.

"It's all up to real people!"

Of course, Lin Shan understood what the leader meant, and he didn't plan to be a host originally, and his cultivation was indeed unable to withstand the pressure from all sides. At that time, if the two parties quarrel at the auction, they are not human inside and outside, and no one will give them face.

Zuo Zhenren is also for the sake of the stability of the auction, which is understandable.

Then the two chatted for a while, although Lin Shan's cultivation was low, his appraisal level was real. Since coming to the auction house, there has really been no mistake, and he is a professional, Zuo Zhenren still encouraged him.

Here, Lin Shan felt a little relieved when he found that Zuo Zhenren seemed to be just talking to him about work and nothing else, but another thing in his mind was a little nervous...

Zuo Zhenren is an old monster in the Jindan period, and he has lived for hundreds of years, how can he not detect his careful thoughts?

"I see that you have reached the ninth level of Qi cultivation consummation, it's time to prepare to build a foundation, right?"

"Real people are as wise as torches!"

Lin Shan was a little excited in his heart, if Zuo Zhenren, the big owner of the auction house, was willing to open the back door for himself, maybe there was a way out of Zhuji Dan's affairs!

I'm also a professional in the auction house, maybe...

But before he had time to think too much, reality directly poured cold water on him.

"The Tsukidan in this year's auction has been set by the major families and sects, I'm afraid there is no extra share, even if the old man has the heart to help, he can't do anything."

Although Zuo Zhenren didn't have eyebrows, he made a frowning motion, which looked very weird, but Lin Shan's mind didn't have this at all.

He has already determined through these words that even the big boss of the auction house said that he can't do anything, so it seems that it is really no fun.

Tsukidan, usually has a price but no market, and the only place that Sanxiu hopes to flow out of is the auction house.

Not here, not anywhere else!

At present, the agreement of the Black Lotus Sect is only one year, can he only forcibly build a foundation and resign himself to fate?

It's not impossible to forcibly build a foundation, but the success rate is simply outrageously low, especially for newcomers who try to "merge with qi and spirit" for the first time, basically there is a high probability of hitting the street, and they will add a "road mark".

For those who are in the foundation building period of the cultivation realm, there are even fewer people who can successfully build a foundation within three times, and the more difficult it will be to break through if there are too many dao marks, so the risk of forcibly building a foundation is too great.

Lin Shan's heart was cold, and Zuo Zhenren, who was sitting on the top position, naturally did not let his subordinates feel cold, and changed his words as he spoke.

"Yichuan Auction House has a small auction every year and a large auction every five years. Tsukidan only has a surplus share of loose cultivation at large auctions, and the next big auction will be four years away! ”

"When the time comes, as an old man, I will naturally help you set one, so you don't need to worry about it."

With Zuo Zhenren's identity and status, it is obviously a promise to be able to make such a promise. What's more, in his opinion, waiting for four years to have a stable foundation building pill should be overjoyed.

At the beginning, he had the former appraisal master Zhang Lao, and it was all thanks to the Zhuji Dan that Zuo Zhenren fought for him.

But Lin Shan was embarrassed on the side.

Four years!

It will take four years to wait!

It had only taken him four years from the time he started cultivating immortals to now practicing Qi perfectly!

This time he stopped making progress for four years, and his cultivation made no progress, wasting a lot of good time. At that time, the three factions of the Demon Dao estimated that Chen had 100,000 soldiers, and they had already entered the interior of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that we are in the sign of troubled times, four years will definitely be earth-shaking changes, and at that time, the devil knows if there will be any Tsukidan in the great sect.

If there is no Tsukidan by then, will you keep waiting?

And if before the Great Song Dynasty was not yet in the duel, he did not follow the proprietress of Yanchunlou into the Black Lotus Sect. Four years later, even if you get the Tsukidan and get lucky enough to enter the foundation building period, it will probably be even more difficult to enter it when the time comes.

After all, having someone to bring it and not having someone to bring it are two different things!

With the Jindan period of the Demon Dao real person as a guarantee, of course, it is much more reliable than mixing in alone at that time.

However, Lin Shan can still understand Zuo Zhenren's intentions, and it is already very interesting to be able to help himself.

Immediately hurriedly bowed and thanked: "Thank you for the kindness of the real person!" ”

Zuo Zhenren didn't care either, he probably thought that Lin Shan had cultivated to perfection at a young age, and his heart was naturally higher than the sky, and he didn't want to waste four years of time.

But this is the case in the cultivation realm, the weak are strong, and the resources themselves are controlled by the upper echelons. He has the opportunity to have four years later, and he has surpassed countless people, but he doesn't know the blessing in the blessing.

Then Lin Shan retired, and he didn't have the heart to participate in the auction two days later.

After all, Tsukidan has already been set inside, and he is not rich in hand, so he can't do anything except sit there when the time comes.

However, he couldn't get Tsukidan with external forces, and he also vaguely expected it in his heart. For Qi cultivation period cultivators, this kind of elixir can be called an elixir that changes one's life against the sky, and it is normal for casual cultivation to be as difficult to obtain as it is to ascend to the sky.

But is he a normal person?

Now that the ancient charm of the reinforced panel has been saved so much, it's time to come in handy!

……

"There are two paths ahead of us at the moment."

Lin Shan began to come up with a plan that had been built for a long time.

"First, the pill recipe of Zhuji Dan is not a secret, and what is scarce is the main medicine of a few flavors and five hundred years. I only need to find some main pills that are still young and strengthen them to a sufficient age, and then I can prepare to refine the elixir. ”

"But Zhuji Dan is not an ordinary elixir, and if you don't have superb alchemy, you can only pretend to be someone else and invite another alchemist."

"Ask the alchemist to refine the pill for me, not only is there no guarantee of the success rate, but in case the alchemist fills his own pockets at that time, there is nothing I can do."

Lin Shan didn't mind speculating on others with malicious eyes, after all, this was the cultivation realm of the law of the jungle, and everyone was in line with interests.

Dare to ask which alchemist doesn't fill his pocket? I'm afraid there isn't one.

The material value of a furnace of Zhuji Dan is ten thousand spirit stones, and once it is refined, depending on the level of the alchemist, it can become a pill ranging from one to a dozen.

If you are unlucky, one Tsukidan will not be able to successfully break through, so you will naturally need the next one, or even the next one.

It's nothing to fill their own pockets, I'm afraid that they will spoil the medicinal materials they have strengthened by then, and they haven't succeeded in refining them yet.

There's no place to reason, aren't all of your ancient rhymes all in vain?

So change to your own alchemy? It's not impossible.

But the question is, can your alchemy reach this level in one year?

The enhancement panel strengthens all specific spell powers, not a hodgepodge of skills, and it is impossible to directly strengthen the alchemy technique, one of the six arts of cultivation, from a rookie to an alchemy master, there is no such good thing.

You must know the six arts of cultivation, alchemy, refining weapons, imperial beasts, formations, puppets, and talismans.

Each one is broad and profound, and contains a vast amount of knowledge. What is needed is a combination of countless theories and practices, and there is no such thing as a simple "skill book" for oneself to learn.

Now all the alchemy apprentices in the cultivation realm, whether they are passed down by word of mouth from their elders or the alchemy classics bought in the store, are at most some pharmacological knowledge, material identification, fire experience, fire control techniques, and so on.

Every alchemy master or even grandmaster can slowly grasp the success rate of alchemy through his own fragmentary knowledge and his countless years of experience.

Moreover, each pill, each pill, and the rate of becoming a pill are different, and they need to be proficient.

Therefore, the disciples of the major sects generally wait for their foundation building period and have sufficient longevity before they consider minoring in one of the six arts.

At the same time, the higher the realm of the monk, the deeper the mana, and under the commanding height, he naturally learned faster and more profound than the low-level monk.

Lin Shan is now learning alchemy, and after he completes his studies, he may be able to refine some low- and middle-level pills, but the success of high-grade pills similar to the "Zhuji Dan", which is a three-grade Dharma Dan, may be minimal.

There is no profound spiritual power in the foundation building period, and there is no divine consciousness to accurately control fire. If you want to refine the pill at the next level, there is a chance that you will waste all the medicinal materials of hundreds of years in a furnace!

Then this method is too risky, so you can only choose the second option.

"Strengthened Pill!"

Zhuji Dan is different from the bottleneck pill in the Qi cultivation period, and its preciousness lies in the success rate of improving the combination of Qi and Shen, and eliminating the anti-heaven effect of "Dao marks".

Fortified pills also need to follow pharmacological rules.

If the strengthened pill does not have the two effects he expected, then what function will be added to the strengthened pill is completely a matter of luck, just like opening a blind box.

Lin Shan is to build a foundation, so naturally he will not bet on other messy effects.

He only needs to assist in the two effects of "Qi and Divine Harmony" and "Dao Marks"!

However, after searching through all the low- and middle-level pills in the Qi cultivation period, none of the pills had both effects.

In other words, there is no ready-made pill that can strengthen him into an elixir that has exactly the same effect as Tsukidan.

But there is no end to it, and some things can be completely flexible.

It has been four years since he had the golden finger of the reinforced panel, and Lin Shan, as the owner, naturally understands that the functional application of this anti-sky panel is far more than that.

Therefore, there is no ready-made pill to strengthen yourself, and you have another way to take advantage of it.

That's...

According to the Dan prescription and pharmacology, first create a "low and low version" of Zhuji Dan.
