Chapter Twenty-Six: Impurities in True Qi
After putting the ding away, Qingfeng took out the storage ring again and looked at it. The space of this new ring is much larger than the one that Qingfeng wears on his hand, at least thousands of cubic meters. There are not many things in it, except for spirit stones, pills, spiritual weapons, etc., the rest are mainly some cultivation experience and alchemy experience of Baicao Zhenren. After sorting out everything, Qingfeng went out.
The little red bird was already impatient waiting outside, and flew to the branch for a while, and jumped on the table for a while, and couldn't stop going back and forth for a moment, and when he saw the breeze come out, he flew to his shoulder at once, and said, "Why haven't you come out for so long?"
"Of course, I'm practicing. ”
"Stink, stink, why are you so dirty?" The little red bird seemed to see the oil stain on Qingfeng's body at this time, and suddenly covered his mouth and flew away.
Qingfeng laughed dryly, took off his clothes, washed briefly by the pond in the yard, hung on a branch next to him, and then jumped into the pond himself. The cool pool water soaked him all over his body, and the breeze couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm really not ashamed to take off my clothes in front of others. The little red bird covered her eyes.
After taking a bath, Qingfeng jumped out of the pond refreshed, put on clothes that had not yet dried, chatted with the little red bird again, packed up his things and began to go out of the valley.
There were three people standing outside the formation, Chong Xuzi and Lingzhu had already finished their work in the view, and they were waiting outside with Xuanjizi. After standing all night, Lingzhu's legs were sore, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, Master, Taishi Ancestor hasn't come out for so long, won't he be in any trouble?"
"Talkative, do you talk like that?" scolded Chong Xuzi. After scolding, Chong Xuzi asked Xuan Jizi again: "Master, I heard you say that Master Ancestor started cultivating more than 900 years ago, why is his strength about the same as mine?"
"I also figured out this matter after yesterday's incident, combined with the words handed down from the Medicine King Temple. At the beginning, your ancestor was stagnant because of the damage to the meridians, so Baicao Zhenren took great pains to get a Thousand Shou Pill for him to take, but later when he moved to the cultivation realm, he was left behind and trapped on the way, and he didn't get out of trouble until recently to find it. ”
"In other words, the ancestor is almost a thousand years old, a thousand years old, if this is in another sect, at least it is the lifespan of cultivation above the Yuan infant stage, right?" Chong Xuzi asked.
"Yes, this kind of thing is not what the world should have, and only the power of Baicao Zhenren has the opportunity to get it. I can still become such a powerful disciple in this life, and I have no regrets even if I die now. Xuanjizi sighed.
It's been nearly a day, and Master Fei has encountered an accident inside? Xuan Jizi was waiting outside the formation anxiously and abnormally, suffering from gains and losses.
After waiting for a while, it was already dawn. Suddenly, a passage appeared in the mountain wall in front of him, and the breeze walked out quickly, and a small red bird stood on his shoulder. The breeze at this time is very different from when he enters, his divine light is restrained, his skin is shiny, and his whole body exudes a dusty temperament.
"Master, have you broken through?" Xuan Jizi said in surprise. He could feel that the breath of the breeze was at least ten times stronger than before. Before entering the formation, Qingfeng was only in the late stage of Qi refining, and his strength was about the same as that of his apprentice Chong Xuzi, but now Qingfeng was already in the middle stage of Qi refining, and it was not much worse than himself.
It was actually able to make Master Qingfeng break through two realms one after another overnight, what was in the formation? Xuanjizi They were full of expectations for this formation.
"Yes, I've reached the middle stage of Qi consummation. Qingfeng said.
"Little old man, do you know me?" the little red bird greeted Xuanjizi.
Xuanjizi's brain directly crashed, and the little bird that could talk, isn't this the ability that only the legendary Jindan period demon beasts have?
Qingfeng briefly introduced the origin of the little red bird, Xuanjizi's heart was cold, it turned out that every time I retreated, there was a curious bird looking at me, fortunately this little bird was sealed in the formation and could not come out, otherwise if I made a voice at the critical time of the retreat, how could I still live?
"Let's go, first follow me to the Medicine King to worship the master, and after the worship, I will lead you into the formation to have a look. Qingfeng waved his hand and walked towards the Medicine King Temple first.
The apprenticeship ceremony is not complicated, everyone bathes and changes clothes, after grooming and dressing, Qingfeng changes into a clean robe, sits on the Taishi chair in the middle of the main hall, and bows to the teacher according to the ceremony, and personally offers tea after worshipping. Chong Xuzi and Lingzhu, as the disciples and grandchildren of Xuanjizi, naturally had to kneel behind to accompany them.
Then everyone hung up the portraits of Baicao Zhenren and his senior brothers Qingshan and Qingyun, and Qingfeng led Xuanjizi, Chongxuzi, and Lingzhu to kneel and worship the patriarch, and officially incorporated the Medicine King View into Baicaotang. As the registered disciples of Baicao Zhenren, the three founding patriarchs of Yaowangguan can only be regarded as Qingfeng's junior disciples, so their tablets are placed on both sides of Qingfeng, and the tablets of the other Yaowangguan's deceased ancestors are placed behind the three founding patriarchs, in front of Xuanjizi.
The whole set of rituals took nearly an hour, and after all of them were done, Qingfeng asked, "Xuanjizi, why haven't you broken through to the Jindan stage?"
"Master, I have made full preparations for this retreat, and in the first three years, I have tried to attack the Jindan stage three times in a row, but all of them failed in the final stage and could not form the Jindan, especially the last time, because I suffered an internal injury because of my impetuousness, and it took more than two years to heal from the injury. After the failure of the impact, I thought hard for a long time, but I could not find the reason why I couldn't get the golden pill. Xuan Jizi said with a depressed expression.
"You have your true qi, I'll check it for you. ”
Xuan Jizi took two steps forward and made a gesture, and a ball of true qi slowly appeared in his hand. Qing Feng took a closer look and said, "You have enough true qi in your body, and you have already met the requirements for impacting the golden pill stage, and you can't form a golden pill because you have too many impurities in your true qi." ”
"There are too many impurities?
"Yes, the impurity of true qi is also one of the reasons why it cannot be broken through. The inheritance time of the medicine king concept is short, the accumulation is insufficient, and the experience is somewhat insufficient if he hides in the mountains behind closed doors and does not communicate with other factions. Qingfeng explained.
"Yes, there are only a few people who have reached the Jindan stage of the ancestors of the Medicine King Guan, and I have read the notes they left, how they broke through to the Jindan stage, they are all unknown. Some say that they broke through when they were engaged in life-and-death struggles with others; some say that they have cultivated to the extreme and suddenly break through as soon as they have an epiphany; and some say that they have obtained an heirloom elixir and break through after eating it. Master said that I have too many impurities in my True Qi, could it be that there is something wrong with the pill I ate?"
"You bring me your usual pills to increase cultivation. ”
Xuanjizi took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to Qingfeng, who opened the lid and poured the pill inside into his hand.
The alchemy level of Xuanjizi is much higher than that of Chongxuzi, and a few pills are about the size of peanuts and rice, and the color is blue-brown, exuding a slight fragrance. This is an elixir that can slightly increase the cultivation of the early stage of the qi, and the effect on the cultivation above the middle stage of the qi is minimal. Qingfeng shook his head and said, "It's the problem of the pill, this pill is too badly practiced." ”
Chong Xuzi next to him was a little unimpressed, the Medicine King Guan is famous for pills, and there are not many such precious pill masters, so he is usually reluctant to eat them, and he will only take a few pills when he is ready to break through the realm. As the only apprentice of Xuanjizi, he has only been given one grain, and he relied on him for the last breakthrough. Even Master's friend, Wang Wushan Wu Lao Dao came to ask for this medicine, and he also needed to use equivalent items, only one pill at a time, such a precious pill was actually said to be bad, and Chong Xuzi couldn't accept it.
Xuan Jizi's old face turned red, this elixir is almost the best elixir he can refine, it seems that his alchemy is really rubbish in the eyes of the master.
"Do you know that the pills are still in different grades?" Qingfeng asked.
Xuanjizi shook his head.
"There is a success rate in refining an elixir, not to mention the failure of refining, but the success of refining does not mean that there is no problem with this elixir. Some are very pure, while others will contain some impurities. According to these, the alchemy world divides the elixir into lower grade, middle grade, The top-grade and the best, among which the top-grade pill has almost no impurities, and the efficacy is full, almost 100 percent; the top-grade pill has some slight impurities, and the efficacy will be slightly worse than that of the best, which can reach more than 90 percent, but these have little impact on the monks, and can basically be ignored; the middle-grade pill has more impurities, and the effect of the medicine is relatively large, it can only reach more than 70 percent, and it can still play a certain role after eating, but it takes a little time to eliminate the impurities; as for the lower-grade pill, the effect is not very good, generally it can only reach more than 50 percent, and it does not play a big role if you eat it, and it also needs to spend a lot of energy to discharge the impurities, which is of a chicken rib nature. The breeze talked.
After saying this, Qingfeng's hand flipped over, and two pills appeared in his palm, these two pills were completely different from Xuanji's, one of them was emerald green, crystal clear, and there was a faint halo contained in it, but it did not have any fragrance. The other is dark cyan and has a faint fragrance.
He pointed to the emerald green pill and said: "Look at this pill, it is verdant, does not contain a trace of impurities, and the medicinal fragrance is restrained, not emitting a trace of outward, no matter how long it is put away, there is no need to worry about the loss of medicinal effect, this is the best Qi Pill." ”
Then he pointed to the dark cyan pill and said: "This pill is dark cyan, because it contains a trace of impurities, and his medicinal fragrance is light, indicating that there are not many impurities, and if it is placed outside for a long time, it will lose a certain medicinal effect, this is a high-grade Huaqi Pill." ”
Then Qingfeng picked up the Xuanjizi pill and said: "You see that the pill you refined is already blue-brown, which means that there are a lot of impurities in it, and the fragrance is slightly strong. And the pill that Chong Xuzi gave to the middle-aged fat man Liu Huanghe yesterday was dark brown all over, indicating that there were a lot of impurities, and it could only be regarded as a low-grade qi cultivation pill. ”
