Chapter 34: Guiyuan Dan
For the six disciples of the Firefox Sect, every martial arts competition is the most important event.
Because, the final winner of the competition will be directly approved to enter the inner gate and accept the guidance of the inner disciples, not only can they obtain the content of the follow-up cultivation exercises that are missing in the "Qi Refining Technique", but they can also completely get rid of these rough and dirty jobs in the six parts of the sect.
The work that every inner disciple has to do every day, in addition to completing some tasks ordered by the elders to convey signals, the main job is to go out and hunt demon beasts.
This is much more interesting than staying at the outer gate of the Firefox Sect every day, either washing clothes, collecting medicines, or even endless alchemy.
Although hunting demon beasts is actually much more dangerous than the work of the six outer sects, as an immortal cultivator, who can resist the sense of accomplishment that comes from hunting a demon beast?
What's more, once you go out to hunt demon beasts, it means that you are officially going to meet the immortal cultivators of other sects in the outside world.
In this way, if the other party is more friendly, then it is nothing, in case the other party is not friendly enough, the two sides have a conflict, or the other party comes up full of hostility, and the two groups of people break out into a big war.
Then, the victorious inner disciple will undoubtedly be able to obtain a lot of good things from the fallen side, such as some elixir that has never been seen before, or a magic weapon that is infinitely powerful.
This is a temptation that no one can refuse.
In addition, after going out to hunt demon beasts, you will have the opportunity to really open your eyes, and through battles with other monks or demon beasts, it is possible to gain inspiration and improve your comprehension of the path of cultivating immortals.
In this way, the immortal cultivator will have the opportunity to break through the bottleneck and improve his cultivation to a realm again.
That's why the martial arts competition is so important.
Those who win the victory are equivalent to obtaining the door to open the road to a farther path of cultivating immortals, and only when they truly become inner disciples can they be regarded as stepping into the path of cultivating immortals with half a foot.
Zhang Feiyang clearly realized its importance, so he didn't think about anything for the time being, put aside all the distractions, and even cut off the normal contact with Zhou Zhou Xian, and concentrated on locking himself in the room, constantly studying the "Qi Refining Technique", hoping to figure out a way to make his cultivation go further and improve to the late stage of the Qi Refining Period.
For this reason, he even changed some of the original rules of the Alchemy Department, requiring all the senior brothers and sisters of the Alchemy Department to send the remaining medicinal residues from refining the healing pill to their huts every day, so that they could use the small stove every night to refine the essence of the medicinal residues and continue to strengthen their bodies.
However, since his cultivation stabilized at the beginning of the Qi refining period, the effect that the essence extracted from the medicinal residue could give her body every day became smaller and smaller.
Half a month later, Zhang Feiyang felt that drinking the medicinal soup felt the same as not drinking it, and finally had to stop, let go of the books he had found from the library of the Alchemy Department, and look for the elixir that could improve his cultivation.
It's a pity that there are not many books in the library of the Alchemy Department, most of them are acupuncture and moxibustion techniques that only mortals can use, and the recipes for boiling Chinese medicine.
Zhang Feiyang turned over a stack of books, a total of 20 ancient books, more than a dozen times, and confirmed it again and again, but he barely found two Dan prescriptions from it.
One of them was the healing pill that the inner gate had designated for them to refine every day in the alchemy department, which had an obvious effect on mortals and first-class for immortal cultivators, and it was the pill he had obtained from Song Cuifu not long ago.
Zhang Feiyang naturally didn't have any interest in this elixir, so he had to look forward to it and set his sights on another pill.
"Guiyuan Dan, white, round as jade, the size of a little finger. The effect is ten times stronger than the Healing Pill. As long as you don't die, after taking it, you can immediately repair all injuries and restore aura. But only one pill a day can be taken. It is only valid for monks in the Qi refining period. Refining method, ten healing pills plus five herbs with five element attributes. The medicinal properties of each herb are at least 1,000 years. ”
He read the pill carefully, and when he saw that it was not the pill he wanted to improve his cultivation, the expectation in his heart fell to the bottom, shook his head, put the book aside, returned to the bed, meditated cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
This refinement is a whole night.
The next morning, when Zhang Feiyang got out of bed and replenished food and water, he still looked lost.
It seems that last night's hard training and enlightenment did not have any effect.
Seeing that the day of the martial arts competition was getting closer and closer, but his cultivation was slow to break through, and suddenly thought that he had no magic weapon to fight the enemy at all, Zhang Feiyang took out the spirit stone realm he had created, and the Chixia stone that had been broken in half, shook his head self-deprecatingly, cheered himself up, meditated on his knees again, closed his eyes, and tried to meditate on meditation.
It's a pity that for seven or eight days in a row, the cultivation still can't break through.
Zhang Feiyang opened his eyes, pinched his fingers, and the day of the competition was a little closer, he stood up, circled around a table, and began to plan for the worst.
If you continue to practice hard and practice hard like this, but there is still no progress, when it comes to the martial arts competition, your own cultivation is quite enough, and you can be on a par with your opponent's hand, but the magic weapon is useless at all, and the spirit stone realm cannot fight at all, and can only be used to reflect some magic weapons that attack through optical fibers.
But how many magic weapons will there be?
Zhang Feiyang didn't think that he could take shit luck again, and he happened to meet opponents with magic weapons like Cabernet.
When the time comes, it will be nice to meet one of these.
He even felt that there was a greater probability that he would not touch one.
Thinking of this, he reached into his arms and took out Xiang Dong's magic weapon Heart-Destroying Dagger.
At this time, the dagger was already extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, but the surface had lost its luster and became jet black, as if it were an ordinary mortal weapon.
Zhang Feiyang's heart moved, drew out a trace of aura, and injected it into the heart-destroying dagger, seeing that there was no aura fluctuation in it, he shook his head in disappointment, took the aura back, and carefully put the dagger away.
"No, I can't. The two magic weapons, the Heartbreaker Dagger and the Cabernet Stone, have been broken. Can't be used at all. Forcibly used in martial arts competitions, not to mention the danger of being recognized by others, especially the Heartbreaker. But even if I don't recognize it, I can't have the slightest chance of winning. Maybe they will be eliminated in the first round. ”
Zhang Feiyang didn't want to sign up for the first time to participate in a round of the martial arts competition and return empty-handed.
Of course, he also knows that it is obviously wishful thinking to rely on his current form to fight for the first place, but in any case, he must get at least one victory.
In this way, it is not worth the effort and time that I have put in my hard cultivation during this time.
But what to do, Zhang Feiyang was worried.
Walking around the table, changing directions twice, he still couldn't think of a better way, and sighed faintly.
"Am I going to stop there?"
Thinking of the persecution of Xiang Dong and Huo Dan in a row, he was finally reborn and made himself a monk in the early stage of the Qi refining period, but at this time, he had to stop there, and it seemed that he would never be able to go further, Zhang Feiyang couldn't swallow this breath, shook his head, and clenched his fists.
At this moment, his gaze swept over the entire stack of books on the table again, all of which were records of various medical techniques, as well as two pills.
Thinking of Danfang, Zhang Feiyang's heart suddenly moved, his deeply locked brows slowly stretched, and his face gradually turned red because of excitement, and said, "Yes." Even if you don't have a magic weapon, you are not someone else's opponent. I can also stall for time and choose to retreat at the beginning of the battle, draining the opponent's spiritual power as much as possible. ”
Zhang Feiyang nodded, getting more and more excited, and his body gradually trembled.
"Manipulating the magic weapon requires the consumption of the aura in the body of the immortal cultivator. If my opponent is equal to my spiritual power, then since the battle begins, he has been using magic weapons to attack me, which means that his spiritual power will be less and less. And as long as I keep running away, as long as I don't leave the arena, if it drags on to the end, once his spiritual power is exhausted, no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, he won't be able to use it. ”
Zhang Feiyang smiled slightly, suddenly reached out and grabbed it, opened the top book, and began to read it carefully.
Because, this book has a detailed refining process of Guiyuan Dan, and where to get the materials needed.
"When the opponent can't use the magic weapon anymore, that's when I counterattack. I just need to get close to him and beat him in hand-to-hand combat. But in the process of escaping, it is unlikely that he will be so lucky and will not hit the magic weapon once. It is more likely that the opponent's magic weapon will be seriously injured. But as long as I prepare the Guiyuan Dan in advance, there is still hope. ”
After watching it all night, Zhang Feiyang memorized the refining methods and materials of Guiyuan Dan, and then began to work overtime to start experiments.
He first went to the warehouse to find some herbs of the three systems of gold, wood and fire that he didn't use on weekdays, and transferred them to his hut in piles.
Then, turn on the small stove and put these herbs, which are only ten years old, into the small stove for refinement.
After reopening the lid, he found that ten herbs of about ten years old could be refined into a hundred-year-old medicinal herb, Zhang Feiyang became more and more excited, and began to continue to put the herbs into the small furnace, through the small furnace to refine the essence of the characteristics, at the cost of emptying half of the herbs in the warehouse, and finally succeeded in obtaining three medicinal herbs that were more than 1,000 years old, which corresponded to the three attributes of Jinmu Fire.
However, it took a lot of time to refine these herbs, and it took Zhang Feiyang six or seven days just to get these three herbs.
He was worried that he didn't have time to collect enough herbs for the remaining two lines before the martial arts competition to complete the refining of the Guiyuan Dan, but he suddenly remembered something.
The lack of water and earth elixir is precisely because the alchemy healing pill requires a large number of herbs of these two lines, although the annual demand for medicinal herbs is not high, as long as it is about 50 years, but according to the monthly handing over of at least 30 healing pills, it can be seen that the consumption of this water and earth elixir is still very large.
And to refine the Guiyuan Pill alone, which has a stronger recovery effect than the healing pill, it is simply unrealistic to find those two herbs alone, the demand is too great, even if you ask Zhou Zhou Xian from the medicine collection department for help, I am afraid there is nothing you can do.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feiyang made a bold decision, secretly withheld more than a dozen healing pills, opened the lid of the furnace, and tried to put one of the healing pills in it separately, igniting the fire to refine the essence.
Really.
With a whole rich aroma rushing to the face, when the lid was opened again, the healing pill had already turned into a drop of fragrant liquid.
Zhang Feiyang just sniffed it lightly, and he smelled the ingredients of the two herbs of the earth system and the water system inside, which were at least 50 years old.
It seems that this method can be used.
Thinking that the Guiyuan Pill was about to be born, how could Zhang Feiyang still be able to hold back the excitement and excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but say, he began to decompose the Healing Pill, and concocted the same method as he had just done, and kept accumulating the two parts of the two herbs in that drop of liquid.
When it was finally about a thousand years, he took a cloth bag that had been around for a long time, poured the other three herbs in it together, and put ten healing pills in his hand, and then, as soon as he put the lid on, he waited patiently.
A whole night passed, when the first light appeared in the sky, seeing that there was no movement in the stove, Zhang Feiyang opened the lid, and before he could see the contents clearly, he was shocked and speechless by a white light that suddenly shot out from inside.
This white light rose into the sky, and when it reached the roof, it spread instantly, illuminating the dark room as bright as day.
