190, 191 Concentration
The light of the flying sword of Yu Dao crossed the sky of Wankuling and flew to Qingdan Mountain, and it was none other than the head of Wu, the deputy head of Wu, Elder Yan, and more than ten accompanying monks of the foundation building period of Qingdanmen.
Yan Xuan stood on Elder Yan's flying sword, flying high in the air, she kept looking back at the bare Wankuling Ridge, sulking, shaking Elder Yan's arm, and said, "Dad, why don't you bring Senior Brother Ye with you?" Anyway, he already has the Zhuji Dan, so he just went back to Qingdan Mountain to retreat and build the foundation. It would be dangerous for him to stay in the Wankuling Cave. ”
Although Yan Xuan is plain and proud, she doesn't look down on the monks in Tsing Yi, and she doesn't have much experience in going out to practice. But she was not ignorant of the slightest, knowing that it was an extremely dangerous thing for a monk in Tsing Yi to carry Zhuji Dan on her body and still be in the Wankuling Cave. Even if she got the Zhuji Dan, she didn't dare to stay in Wankuling, but went back to Qingdanmen with her father directly and obediently.
She had a good impression of Ye Qin, and because of Zhuji Dan, she originally wanted to let Ye Qin follow Master Wu and the others back to Qingdan Gate with her, but she didn't know how, but she was secretly stopped by Elder Yan, so that she couldn't open her mouth.
Elder Yan said indifferently, "There's no need for this. He was in Wankuling, or Qingdanmen, and the result was the same. ”
"Why?"
Yan Xuan asked puzzled.
Elder Yan was silent at this time, controlling the flying sword and not explaining. Yan Xuan didn't follow anymore and began to be coquettish, she must know the reason, otherwise she would not be able to return to Qingdanmen with peace of mind.
Elder Yan couldn't be pestered, so he could only say helplessly, "How could my father not know about his situation!" I checked his breath, that kid barely had any external breath, his eyes were empty, and all his vitality was gathered in his body and did not leak out. His biggest calamity now did not come from Wankuling, but from this set of deadly exercises. In ancient times, countless monks died under this set of exercises, and the success did not exceed one percent, and very few built foundations. Although Dad is also optimistic about his future, the premise is that he has the life to survive this threshold. ”
Yan Xuan was surprised: ""Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra." What kind of immortal cultivation method is this?"
"That's a set of ancient earth exercises created by the ancient monks of Lingwu Immortal Yuan City. There is no spiritual root requirement. It is suitable for all types of spiritual root cultivation immortal cultivation. There are no monks who will practice it now, and I don't know where that kid got the earth exercises. I started to cultivate in a daze. Alas. Monk of loose origin. It's just inexperienced. The fruit is just cultivated. Dad might be able to help him out. But he is now at the peak state of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period~ Don't talk about Dad. Even if the ancestor made a move, he couldn't help him. It's all his own will. ”
"But Wankuling is too dangerous. It would be safer to take him back to Qingdanmen. I'm worried."
"Huh. What is there to worry about. That kid was able to snatch eight map scrolls from more than a dozen sect monks. And successfully escaped. You can also stay alone in the third floor of the cave for half a month. It shows that he is very smart. It's not easy to die. All eight copies of the scroll can be saved. Are you still afraid of keeping the two Tsukidan?
In the Wankuling Cave. Whether it's a demon beast or a monk of another sect. It wasn't much of a danger to that kid. Whether it's in Wankuling. He is still in retreat at the Qingdan Gate. If you can't support the threshold of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra". It's going to kill him. It's the same wherever the foundation is built. Everyone has their own destiny. Life and death are all created by him. There is no need to interfere. As long as he can survive this calamity. Survive. Dad will try to compensate him. In the future, he will arrange a good errand within the sect. Some people in the province also say that I am Yan Feng is really mean and ruthless. ”
Elder Yan said with a solemn expression.
Yan Xuan saw that her father refused to take Ye Qin back, so she sighed faintly and looked back at Wankuling.
Ye Qin stood alone by the magma river, the blue earth water system protective cover was fully opened, resisting the scorching waves of the magma river, he looked at the red magma rolling below, and showed a wry smile helplessly in his heart.
He had only left this place a day earlier, and he originally wanted to leave here and use the map scroll to get the foundation building from the master, so he returned to the Qingdan Gate to retreat and build the foundation. I didn't expect some unexpected accidents, and after going around for a long time, I came back to this place again.
"Could it be that you have a relationship with this magma river?"
The only difference from before was that he had two more Tsukidan sect rewards in his hand. Even if the foundation building was successful, no one in the sect would understand why he suddenly became a foundation building stage monk and would not think about other aspects. Of course, if the foundation is not built, it has nothing to do with him.
This lava river is the deepest part of the underground cavern and the hottest place. To get here, you have to pass through the nests of many monsters along the way**. Very few people will come to this place in the short term.
Ye Qin searched for a long time on both sides of the underground magma river that was more than ten miles long, and finally found a very hidden crack that could just drill into a person at a bend and on the rock wall of the Baizhang Highland. If you don't search carefully, you won't be able to find this crack at all.
He took a leap and landed lightly into the crack.
Ye Qin investigated in the cracks, and now there are several red flames of different sizes, some are close to a foot high, and there are also small strands with several inches of flames, which erupt from the cracks in the ground, burning the rock wall red, the flames are quite pure and stable, and they can be used for alchemy.
He allowed himself to relax completely, and for the time being, he didn't have to worry about being found by monks from other sects.
Leaving all the unresolved issues behind, all we need to do now is to build a foundation with all our hearts and minds without distractions.
As long as the foundation building is successful, then the number of monks who can threaten his safety will be greatly reduced, and he doesn't have to worry that he will be killed by Elder Zhao or Wu Zijian like ants
One of the most basic and very powerful abilities of the Foundation Monk is the flight of Edgeworth. Even if he couldn't defeat the other foundation building stage cultivators, the sword flew and escaped quickly, much stronger than the slow speed of the top-level spirit weapon Bat King Wing.
Ye Qin found a flat place in the crack, sat cross-legged, and cleaned up his storage bag.
He had already gathered the seeds of nearly a hundred rare spiritual herbs needed to refine Zhuji Dan and stored them in the Purple Mansion Floating Island.
As for all kinds of low-grade spirit stones, they are fully stocked.
Of course, it still takes a lot of thought to cultivate all the spiritual herbs needed for Zhuji Dan. Not all of these herbs are the same system of elixirs. Wood-based medicinal materials need to be planted with wood spirit stones, while fire-based medicinal materials can only be planted with fire spirit stones, and they cannot be confused at all.
By using the divine sense, one can detect the type of herb itself.
Ye Qin sank his divine sense into the Purple Mansion.
Endless void, surrounded by a vast gray mist, boundless, only floating in the sky in a radius of one mile.
At this time, the floating island is like a miniature village.
On the flat ground in the middle of the floating island, there are four quaint log cabins that look like the countryside of Takeki County. These small wooden houses are all made of spiritual wood in the Purple Mansion, and then wrapped with rattan wood on the threshold, which can be said to be original and full of rural taste.
One is a winemaking workshop, specializing in spirit wine. There were a large number of flame berries and frost berries piled up in the workshop, and the spirit wine brewed flowed into the spirit wood barrels one by one. Take it directly when you want to drink it.
One is the Seed Cabin, which is used to store all the seeds of the spirit plants collected. After all, there are too many elixir materials, and I am afraid that this floating island with a radius of one mile cannot contain all the elixir materials in the world, so it is best to use seeds to maintain them. A seed cabin, large enough to hold seeds.
Now Ye Qin has collected about two hundred kinds of seeds of spiritual herbs, and if he wants to match any spiritual elixir in the future, he can directly find the corresponding seeds here.
One is a spiritual stone wooden house, stacking all kinds of spiritual stones and rare ores. Purple fire crystals are also kept here.
One is a wooden house of insects and beasts, which only raises two honeycombs for the time being, and can also produce thorn honey.
Around the cabin plot, there are all large and small fields used to grow all kinds of spiritual things.
One of them is planted with shrubs such as Flame Thorns and Frost Thorns, which are treasures all over their bodies, their fruits are used to make wine, their seeds can be used to perform winding, and shrubs are tempered to support thorn silk armor.
In addition, there is a large vacant field. The spiritual grass that Tsukidan needs is planted here.
Everything is in order inside the floating island.
Ye Qin was very satisfied with the environment here. It was under the movement of his heart that the floating island became like this. Originally, this floating island was bare, like an uninhabited desert island, he looked boring, and simply used his divine sense to control the flying sword magic weapon, cut down a few hard golden sandalwood spirit trees, and built these small wooden houses.
After Ye Qin looked at the environment of the floating island, he took out the earth spirit medicinal materials needed for Zhuji Dan from the seed hut and planted them in the field one by one. And accurately calculate the number of spirit stones required for each plant.
As the days passed, it took him two months to prepare the medicinal materials needed to refine forty copies of Zhuji Dan. Most of the low-grade spirit stones in the Purple Mansion were consumed.
Don't look at the amount of forty tsukidan materials, but this is just a raw material, not a finished product. If you deduct the failure of alchemy, in fact, in the end, there will never be more than ten pills that can become a pill.
Ye Qin was concentrating on planting spiritual medicinal materials by the magma river, preparing to refine the Zhuji Dan, and during this time, the Wankuling Cave became more and more lively, and the number of trial disciples who entered the third layer of the cave gradually increased.
The Immortal Cultivation Sect has sent a large number of trial disciples to seize the spirit stone ore on the second floor of the cave in the Wankuling Cave.
Most of these sects didn't take too much advantage, and the ones that really took advantage were those that had the Wankuling Mine Road Map Scroll.
The sect with map scrolls has the most accurate information about the mines, which mines are worth selling, and which mines are not worth giving up, they are clear. Naturally, they can decisively abandon the poor mines and gather superior manpower to occupy the rich mines.
Of course, no one knows which immortal cultivation sects the thirty-two scrolls are in their hands.
Sects that own map scrolls will never say that they have a map in their hands.
Needless to say, Qingdanmen had as many as eight map scrolls, accounting for a quarter of the total number of scrolls. This benefit is absolutely immeasurable. It will be in the next hundreds of years, so that Qingdanmen can enjoy great benefits.
In addition to the spirit stones on the second floor of the cave, the fire ore on the third floor of the cave is also the goal of various sects. The area of the third layer of the cave is vast, and the fire type ore deposits are unusually rich, which is enough to accommodate the lower sect to mine, but it will not be a fire for the fire type ore here.
In addition, although Elder Zhao used a lot of manpower to search for his whereabouts, although Elder Zhao used a lot of manpower to search for his whereabouts, there was still no clue. The seven or eight disciples who had participated in this matter at the beginning, whether they were blue-clothed disciples or Tsing Yi disciples, all shrunk their heads and remained silent, never mentioning the matter between them and Zhao Qiankun to anyone - even those blue-clothed disciples who had been with Zhao Qiankun all the way did not dare to claim that they had left Qingdan Mountain with Zhao Qiankun. Whoever is silent is a fool, this kind of thing can not be touched, otherwise it will be affected by Elder Zhao's anger, and he will find bad luck. After this incident was troubled for a while, it gradually became unconcerned and faded away.
In fact, Elder Zhao was not the most depressed, although he had died of a most beloved child
Yes, there are several other eldest sons who can inherit the family business. Besides, he is now a miner, and he has enough oil and water. It also satisfied him somewhat.
The most depressed, I'm afraid it's Wu Zijian.
He failed to chase and kill Ye Qin to capture Zhuji Dan, and turned around and led people to hunt down Shen Bao and Zhang Yunzi.
But Shen Bao and Zhang Yunzi are not wastes, they are all loose cultivators from the lowest level of the immortal cultivation world, and they have experienced I don't know how many times they have lived and fled when they have traveled around the world, and they can't be beaten by fighting, but when it comes to the experience of death in dangerous situations, Wu Zijian can't catch up with the two of them, how can they be caught so easily. In addition, Wu Zijian's arrest of Ye Qin has been delayed for a lot of time, and it is even more difficult to go back and arrest them again.
Shen Bao and Zhang Yun quickly got rid of the Qingdanmen disciples who were chasing them, and the two of them also hid in the third layer of the cave within a radius of hundreds of miles, making Wu Zijian glare, but he caught someone.
Shen Bao usually made a lot of friends in the Qingdan Sect, and made a lot of wine and meat brothers, he sent a message to ask these brothers for help, and many Qingyi disciples who were close to him couldn't stand it, and a rumor of going to Wuzijian quickly spread out.
Wu Zijian mobilized manpower to chase Ye Qin, Shen Bao and others without authorization, trying to seize Zhuji Dan, and this matter spread widely among the low-level Qingyi disciples, and even returned to the Qingdan Gate.
Elder Yan Da, who was in charge of the rules and discipline of the Qingdan Sect, sent people to Wankuling to investigate, but now Ye Qin, Shen Bao, and Zhang Yunzi really disappeared, and Wu Zijian once transferred people to hunt down and kill the three of them, which immediately caused an uproar in the sect. Cannibalism, this is worth it.
Immediately afterwards, several sect elders jointly sued the Jindan ancestors of the Qingdan Sect, demanding that the deputy head of Wu be removed from the post of deputy head of the sect in the name of not being strict with his godson and committing murder.
Deputy Head Wu was almost the last senior to learn about this, and he was so angry that he almost crooked his nose. He never thought that his son would be stupid enough to do this. Ye Qin and the others have just made a great contribution to the sect, and this kid Wu Zijian actually used the excuse of taking away their Zhuji Dan on the cusp of this storm, isn't this stabbing Lou Zi for him.
He immediately recalled Wu Zijian from Wankuling to Qingdanmen, and in the purple gold hall of Qingdan Peak, in front of the head, the deputy heads, and the elders on the ground, he scolded Wu Zijian with his head and face, and angrily wanted to kill his relatives and expel Wu Zijian from the sect.
Wu Zijian immediately pretended to be aggrieved, saying that a junior disciple surnamed Wang had told him that the three of them had a secret relationship with disciples of other sects, so he went to arrest people and planned to verify with them face-to-face. Unexpectedly, the three of them misunderstood what he meant and ran away. He didn't arrest people for Tsukidan at all, he was wronged.
The anger of the deputy head of Wu subsided a lot, and the words changed, and he began to interrogate how Wu Zijian was deceived by others. Wu Zijian naturally explained the details of the matter clearly.
After the deputy head of Wu "checked" the situation clearly, he ordered Wu Zijian to lose more than three years of retreat and not to take half a step out of the retreat room as a punishment. In addition, more than 20 blue-clothed disciples and Tsing Yi disciples who participated in the pursuit and killing of Ye Qin and others, although they also went to besiege Ye Qin and others because they were blinded, they were severely punished together. As for the junior brother surnamed Wang, who was unknown and had nowhere to redress his grievances, he was even saved from interrogation, and was directly expelled from the division, and he was never allowed to return to Qingdan Mountain Gate.
The head of Wu, the deputy heads and the elders watched coldly as the father and son sang a double reed in the Purple Gold Hall. The origin of the Qingdan Sect is complicated, and there are many factions, and there are many people who wish that the deputy head of Wu was unlucky.
Deputy Wu wants to protect his son, this is normal, tiger poison does not eat children, how can he really expel his son from the sect.
As for what the truth is, who can they be blinded by the mirror in their hearts? However, the goal of some of them is not to eradicate Wu Zijian, but to attack the deputy head of Wu. Now that the deputy head of Wu is on fire, he is afraid that his position will be difficult to protect, and the effect will be achieved.
After the deputy head of Wu decisively dealt with the matter in public, he hurriedly asked the ancestors of Jindan for their guilt, and was willing to punish himself for ten years and atone for his son.
Huangfu Ancestor did not dismiss Deputy Head Wu, but his attitude was obviously much colder.
Deputy Head Wu was originally in charge of the daily affairs of Qingyan Peak, one of the Seven Peaks of Qingdan, but some of the real power in his hands was quickly deprived one by one, and he sat on a cold bench and thought about it behind closed doors. And one of the elders who was in charge of investigating the case was promoted and took over part of the real power of the deputy head of Wu.
The deputy head of Wu was unexpectedly hit hard, and the atmosphere of Qingdanmen seemed to have improved overnight, and people's minds were right, and the evil spirit was swept away, and even the Xiaoxiao who stole chickens and dogs disappeared. Especially when the high-level core blue-clothed friars met with each other, they opened their mouths and closed their mouths to talk about the benevolence of their fellow disciples, and no one knew what they thought in their hearts.
Shen Bao and Zhang Yunzi took advantage of this wind of rectification to emerge from the Wankuling Cave, hurriedly returned to the Qingdan Mountain Range, retreated and cultivated, and cultivated at the ninth level of the Qi refining period as soon as possible, so as to serve the Jidan.
However, no one knows the whereabouts of Ye Qin, the person that the Qingdanmen leaders are most concerned about at the moment.
Ye Qin never appeared.
Even for a long time in the future, it did not appear, so much so that many people suspected that he was poisoned by Wu Zijian. Because of this incident, there is an endless stream of people who have fallen into the well for the deputy head of Wu.
The unlucky deputy head of Wu was finally unable to find the whereabouts of Ye Qin, who had made a great contribution to the Qingdanmen, and as a result, two years later, he was completely dismissed from the position of deputy head and demoted to an ordinary elder. Together with the monks of the Wu Deputy Sect Leader's line, they were also dealt a heavy blow and lost their power.
After the deputy head of Wu lost his power, Ye Qin's "role" disappeared, and naturally no one mentioned him anymore and forgot about him.
Two months is a very short time
An underground cavern, inside a small hidden crack on the edge of a lava river. After Ye Qin prepared all the medicinal materials, he devoted himself to refining the Zhuji Dan, ignoring the affairs of the outside world and not knowing anything about it.
Ye Qin had retreated for three years in the Beiying Mountain Mine in the Qingdan Gate Land, refining a large number of low-level elixirs. He is now alchemist, and he is also considered to be the top among the eight thousand Qi refining stage disciples of the entire Qingdan Sect, and he is fully qualified to be called an alchemist.
The key to alchemy lies in the control of the heat and the mastery of the time of the pill.
The Zhuji Dan formula has a very detailed description of some details that need special attention to the "quantity of raw materials, ingredients, firepower, cutting and the whole process of Dan dispensing".
Ye Qin just needs to do what is described in the recipe.
However, it is not possible to do it.
Even if it is an alchemist at the grandmaster level, it is impossible to fully grasp the newly acquired Di Dan Fang at once, and for the new high-level Dan Fang who has just started it, it is almost inevitable to lose. It must be adapted for a period of time before the pill yield rate can be gradually increased.
Qingdanmen is known as the most skilled sect of immortal cultivation in the alchemy of the Lingwu Mountain Range, and many monks in Xianyuan City mistakenly believe that the disciples of Qingdanmen will refine all kinds of strange elixirs.
Not really.
Most of the alchemists of the Qingdan Sect are actually only proficient in refining two or three of the best elixirs, and many of them are ordinary elixirs - because the raw materials of ordinary elixirs are easy to obtain, the more they are refined, the higher the rate of pill production, and the greatest profit can be made.
Those strange elixirs, there are too few materials, it is extremely difficult to find, and the rate of pills is extremely low, but not many monks are willing to refine them. A small amount of refining can't earn many spirit stones.
After the alchemist refines his best elixir, he uses his elixir to exchange it for a spirit stone, or exchange it with the elixir of his fellow disciples.
Very few Qingdanmen alchemists will refine more than five kinds of elixirs.
There are pros and cons to this.
The advantage is that the fewer types of elixirs for refining, the higher the proficiency of a few elixirs. With the accumulation of such perennial days and months, the success rate of this elixir will naturally become higher and higher, and the harvest will be greater. A monk who specializes in refining a spirit pill all his life can make the most money.
But there are also great drawbacks, and I can't leave my fellow disciples. Once you break away from the same door, you will be restricted everywhere. Just like the "Bigu Pill", this elixir can only be used for disciples in the Qi refining period Bigu, and there is no need to eat or drink after taking it, and it has no other effects. Alchemists who are proficient in refining Bigu Dan can only sell Bigu Dan to others, and it is impossible to keep all of them for themselves.
The fewer types of alchemists, the greater their dependence on others. There are some alchemists who specialize in refining rare and strange pills, and they can't even leave the Qingdan Sect at all, and if they leave, they may be cornered.
Although most of the alchemists in the Qingdan Sect knew the disadvantages of having too few types of alchemy, they couldn't do it if they didn't.
Alchemy is too expensive, and the elixir materials are extremely expensive, and an ordinary furnace of elixir can easily have several or dozens of low-grade spirit stones. High-grade spirit pills, even hundreds of low-grade spirit stones. If you can't make money by alchemy, the life of an alchemist is extremely difficult, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. If you abolish a furnace of Dan, you will be depressed and half dead.
Therefore, in the Qingdan Gate, there are usually five kinds of elixirs as the upper limit, and the types of alchemy will not exceed this number.
Ye Qin didn't care about this, he had a purple mansion where he could farm, as long as there were enough spirit stones, the spirit medicine materials would be enough for him. When he reached the stage of cultivation, he would refine what pills. From the lowest order of the first order of the descent pill, to the third order of the qi gathering pill. Pick the elixir that can increase your cultivation to refine.
Now he wants to build a foundation, and he is also refining and building Jidan himself.
There will be a small competition in the Qingdan Sect every three years, among which the disciples with the highest alchemy talent will be selected and specially arranged to refine various high-level elixirs, such as the Zhuji Dan, as well as the Guiyuan Dan, Peiyuan Dan, Juyuan Dan and so on used in the foundation building period. Other than that, they don't practice other pills. Through this method, it is ensured that the most high-level elixirs can be obtained with the least amount of medicinal materials, and the highest can even reach a rate of five or six percent.
Ye Qin didn't have that kind of ability, he had just started refining the Ji Dan, and at most he could only grasp it by one percent of the Dan.
He could only get more Zhuji Dan by refining a few more furnaces of pills and gradually increasing the rate of pill production. The amount of spirit stones required to build a foundation Dandan is about 1,000 to 1,500 lower-grade spirit stones. That is to say, about 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones can be used to get a finished Zhuji Dan.
Someone like Ye Qin who "burns money" can be said to be unique.
Even if it is a major cultivation immortal family, such a burning method is estimated to have to burn the financial resources to be exhausted, and the family will be defeated and die.
The key to the Qingdan Sect being able to stand tall for 10,000 years among the cultivators of the Lingwu Mountain Range is to be able to plant spiritual herbs on the seven peaks of the Qingdan Mountain Range, absorb the rich spiritual energy here, plant spiritual medicinal materials, and refine the spiritual pill by itself. The cost of growing spiritual grass and refining the pill by oneself is naturally greatly reduced. The only thing that needs to be paid is the time it takes to plant the spirit grass.
The Qingdan Mountain Range can be called a blessed land, and it is the most suitable for planting spiritual grass.
And Ye Qin's Purple Mansion is just the opposite of the effect of the Qingdan Mountain Range, and it takes very little time to plant spiritual herbs, and all that is lacking is spiritual energy. Use spirit stones to ensure that the spirit herbs absorb enough spiritual energy and grow quickly.
After Ye Qin prepared all the forty medicinal herbs, he took out the copper sand alchemy furnace from the storage bag, placed the furnace on a weak earth fire, and then poured an appropriate amount of spring water. With both hands, the herbs were crushed, turned into powder, poured into the furnace, and began to work on alchemy.
In the underground caves, there are many underground lakes and springs, and taking water once is enough for him to use it for a long time.
