Chapter 6: Weathering the Vortex
An Xiaoyi looked at the Ning Ling Pill on the table, and was very surprised in her heart.
"It seems that my natal mark is not useless, and it seems that it can make some kind of change in the elixir. An Xiaoyi looked at the changes in the Ning Ling Pill, and was a little excited in his heart.
I saw that the Ning Ling Pill on the table was originally black, without any luster, but now it still looks black, but the surface is full of luster, and a trace of red and orange can be vaguely felt on it, as if An Xiaoyi's natal imprint was imprinted on this elixir.
"I don't know what changes have happened to this Ning Ling Pill?" An Xiaoyi carefully observed the Ning Ling Pill, and vaguely felt that this Ning Ling Pill seemed to be much more powerful than before, but it was difficult to determine, An Xiaoyi decided to find out.
An Xiaoyi took the Ning Ling Pill catalyzed by the natal imprint and came to the medicine shop at the bottom of the mountain, in order to avoid encountering Hua Feiyu on the road again, this time An Xiaoyi took a long detour.
Walking into the pharmacy and coming to the counter, An Xiaoyi bought three Ning Ling Pills, and when he turned around to leave, he seemed to remember something, and turned to look at the shopkeeper of the pharmacy.
"Shopkeeper, is there a grade of this Ning Ling Pill?" An Xiaoyi had a modest attitude, and pointed to the Ning Ling Pill in his hand, as if he wanted to ask for advice.
"Of course, there are grades of any pill, the pill is divided into grades according to the content of pure medicine, the pure drug content of one percent and below is the waste pill, basically there is not much effect, the pure medicine content is less than two percent of the lower grade of the pill, less than forty percent of the middle grade, less than sixty percent of the upper grade, less than eighty percent of the good product, less than ninety percent of the excellent product, less than ten percent of the best product, as for the ten layers of pure medicine is a masterpiece, only in the legend. The shopkeeper looked at An Xiaoyi and said unhurriedly.
"The Ning Ling Pill you are holding in your hand is only a low-grade elixir with a pure drug content of less than 20%, so the price is relatively low, if it is a medium-grade Ning Ling Pill, the price is ten times that of the lower grade, and the efficacy is even more than ten times, if it is a top grade, the price is naturally a hundred times that of the lower grade, so for the elixir, the grade is very important. The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said with emotion.
"That's it!" An Xiaoyi was very excited when he heard the shopkeeper's remarks about the pill grade.
"I don't know what grade of the Spirit Pill I catalyzed with my natal imprint?" An Xiaoyi was full of curiosity and anticipation.
"Shopkeeper, this spirit pill is a gift from a friend, please help see what grade it is. An Xiaoyi took out the condensing elixir catalyzed with the natal mark from his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and respectfully held it up in front of the shopkeeper of the medicine shop.
"This ...... Where did you get this elixir?"
The shopkeeper picked up a small dish on the counter, picked up the Ning Ling Pill in An Xiaoyi's hand with a bamboo clip, put it in front of him, looked at it carefully, frowned several times, and after stretching his eyebrows, he put the pill into the small plate, and when he looked at An Xiaoyi, he was a little more respectful.
"May I ask the shopkeeper, what grade is this elixir?" An Xiaoyi smiled, did not answer the shopkeeper's question, but continued to ask.
"This is a top-grade condensing elixir, and the pure medicine is close to sixty percent!" said the shopkeeper excitedly.
"It's the first time I've seen such a high-grade Ning Ling Pill, because the Ning Ling Pill is only an introductory pill for cultivation, and the alchemist who can refine the top-grade pill will not waste time on this Ning Ling Pill at all, because to refine the top-grade elixir, the power and resources consumed are more than 100 times that of the lower grade, and it is not worth it at all to use on this Ning Ling Pill, and it is even a serious waste!" The shopkeeper of the medicine shop was curious in his heart, what kind of alchemist would do such a meaningless thing.
"If I exchange this Condensation Pill with you for a Grade Condensing Pill, can I really exchange it for a hundred?" An Xiaoyi asked tentatively, looking at the shopkeeper's gaze, revealing the meaning of inquiry.
"That's natural, how much can be exchanged for spirit stones, this high-grade spirit pill can be exchanged for a hundred spirit stones. The shopkeeper said with certainty, and in his eyes, he was looking forward to An Xiaoyi selling the pill to him.
"Oh, thank you, shopkeeper, I only have this top-grade condensing elixir, I don't plan to sell it, I'll see if I can get some more of this elixir from a friend, if I can get it, I'll definitely sell it to you." An Xiaoyi didn't want others to know that this top-grade spirit pill was catalyzed by herself, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so she didn't plan to exchange the spirit pill for spirit stones.
"Looks like my natal mark is indeed a treasure!"
An Xiaoyi left the pharmacy, and on the way back, she was extremely excited, and of course she didn't forget to take a detour to go back, so as not to run into flowers and rain.
Back in the cave, An Xiaoyi took out three newly bought Ning Ling Pills, all of which used spiritual power to manipulate the natal imprint and catalyze, but the imprint catalysis of the Ning Ling Pill was very spiritual power-consuming, and each time he catalyzed a Ning Ling Pill, the spiritual power in the body was basically exhausted, and it took about three days to restore the spiritual power in the body, and it was completely impossible to cultivate during this period.
"This catalytic elixir is too spiritually draining!"
Catalyzed three condensing elixirs, and An Xiaoyi took ten days.
"With the Spirit Pill, you can now consider breaking through the second layer of soul cultivation and reaching the third layer of spirit cultivation. After An Xiaoyi catalyzed all the Condensing Spirit Pill to the top grade, he began to prepare for cultivation.
An Xiaoyi took out a catalyzed condensing elixir and put it in his mouth, the elixir melted in his mouth and quickly spread throughout the body, this catalyzed condensing elixir was completely different from the original low-grade condensing elixir, and its strength was indeed no less than a hundred times.
The spiritual energy in An Xiaoyi's body, while swallowing the pill, spread rapidly, the river seemed to divide into countless tributaries, sparse the spiritual energy to the whole body, and the spiritual energy circulation in the body was also running rapidly, An Xiaoyi felt that the spiritual power in the body was constantly strengthened, and when the spiritual power gathered in the palm, there was a sense of overflow.
"You should be able to try your hand at the flying sword now. ”
An Xiaoyi condensed the spiritual power in his body, pushed out his palms, and the flying sword no longer just stayed in the air, but could fly in the air with the movement of the spiritual power in the palm, but he didn't have much sense of direction, and the speed of flying was not too controlled, and he could only hold on to a stick of incense for a while, and the spiritual power in his body was obviously difficult to hold.
An Xiaoyi took out another pill and put it in his mouth, the aura in his body was quickly replenished, and he continued to control the flying sword, after hundreds of rounds of testing, the direction and speed of the flying sword have been well controlled.
A few days passed, An Xiaoyi swallowed the third Ning Ling Pill, and the wooden sword could already rotate and fly around An Xiaoyi, and its speed gradually increased.
A few days later, just when An Xiaoyi took out the fourth Spirit Pill and swallowed it, the yellow crow had already returned at some point, standing on the stone table, staring at An Xiaoyi with thoughtful eyes.
During this time, there was no trace of the yellow crow, and the sudden appearance quietly made An Xiaoyi very surprised, and it was even more strange to look at the yellow crow looking at him.
"Is there something wrong with me? An Xiaoyi looked up and down, left and right, and asked the yellow crow softly.
"Where have you been all this time, you haven't been back for a long time. An Xiaoyi continued, with some blame in his tone.
The yellow crow didn't pay attention to An Xiaoyi, with a flap of his wings, he flew out of the cave with a "whoosh", An Xiaoyi saw that the yellow crow ran away again, and secretly thought in his heart that this bird was too unstoppable, let him go, continue to cultivate, and now he is only a trace away from breaking through the second layer of soul cultivation.
An Xiaoyi used the power of the spirit pill to condense the spiritual energy in the body, and the spiritual energy in the body has spread, and finally exert force, so that the spiritual power can spread throughout the whole body and break through the second layer of spiritual cultivation.
"Three layers of soul cultivation!"
Just after the spiritual power surged all over the body and all the meridians were opened, An Xiaoyi felt that he had broken through the second layer of spiritual cultivation and reached the third layer of spiritual cultivation.
Just when An Xiaoyi's cultivation broke through to the third layer of soul cultivation, the yellow crow flew back to the cave and landed on the stone table, with something in its mouth, it put the thing in its mouth on the stone table, and when it looked at An Xiaoyi, its head tilted slightly twice.
An Xiaoyi came to the table, picked up the things on the table, and put them in front of her to observe carefully.
"Ning Ling Elixir. Where did you get that?" When An Xiaoyi looked at the yellow crow, the yellow crow raised his head proudly, as if he was very proud of his skills.
"Did you see that I was taking this elixir, so you helped me get this?" An Xiaoyi looked at the yellow crow, her heart was full of warmth, after all, this yellow crow still had a heart for herself.
The yellow crow looked at An Xiaoyi's eyes, letting An Xiaoyi know that he guessed correctly, and before An Xiaoyi continued to ask, the yellow crow flew away again.
"Where did it get this elixir? An Xiaoyi looked at the pill in his hand and shook his head.
"Reaching the third layer of spiritual cultivation, according to the records of the exercises, the Qingfeng Vortex Gong can form a complete wind vortex. An Xiaoyi remembered the record of the bamboo slips of the exercises, and planned to continue to practice the Cleansing and Transforming Vortex Gong.
"The control of the flying sword has given me a certain ability to control the spiritual power, this wind whirlpool, only needs to guide the spiritual power to form a wind whirlpool, with a certain attack power. "Through the control of the flying sword, An Xiaoyi is very confident in the Qingfeng Vortex.
According to the records of Qingfeng Xuangong and the key points of the exercises, An Xiaoyi pinched the trick to gather qi, pushed out with both palms, and the aura flew out from the palms, as if there was a fresh breeze flying over, with the passage of time of cultivation, the spiritual power of the breeze became bigger and bigger, and gradually began to have the power of rotation, until finally, the rotating spiritual power in the palms gathered together and gradually formed a wheal.
The wheals are gradually expanding and getting bigger and bigger.
After a few days of cultivation, this wheal appeared as a whirlpool and began to rotate.
"This is the Wind Vortex?" An Xiaoyi finally cultivated the Wind Vortex, and he was very excited.
"It's finally successful, Qingfeng Vortex!" As the wind vortex controlled by An Xiaoyi turned faster and faster, it seemed to have formed a fierce attack force, and when he pushed the wind vortex towards the stone table, he actually overturned the stone table to the ground.
If it hits a person, I'm afraid it will be seriously injured if it doesn't die. When An Xiaoyi looked at the stone table that had fallen to the ground, she sighed in her heart, and her eyes showed satisfaction and relief.
"It could be even better!"
An Xiaoyi continued to practice the Qingfeng Vortex Technique, and the attack power formed by the Wind Vortex was constantly increasing, and the effect was much stronger than before.
At the same time as An Xiaoyi was practicing, a sharp shout came from outside the door.
"An Xiaoyi, get out of here!"
