"What's the harm?" Zhao Shi asked suspiciously.

"First of all, it's drug resistance, if you are going to take the pill like this all the time, the cultivation growth in the middle and late stages of the spiritual liquid will be extremely slow, because the pill you take can rarely be refined and absorbed, and most of them are wasted. Secondly, if you only rely on pills to improve your cultivation, the cultivation you get can be greatly discounted. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Shi asked with a puzzled expression.

"For example, if two people who have cultivated in the early stage of the same spiritual fluid, one of them has obtained his cultivation by refining his own qi and exhaling it, and the other person's cultivation has been obtained by taking pills. These two people seem to have the same cultivation, but they are actually very different. Relying on the person who took the pill, the spiritual power in his dantian was strong and dry, and it was all empty, and it couldn't stand the use, and the speed of spiritual power recovery was also extremely slow. ”

"Finally, if you take the pill for many years, it will also have a great impact on the spiritual root and dantian, mainly because the spiritual root is not sensitive to spiritual energy, and even cannot absorb spiritual energy, and the dantian cannot convert spiritual energy into spiritual power. If it really comes to this point, then your whole person will be useless, don't think about the slightest improvement in your cultivation in the future. The demon said solemnly, with a hint of frightening in his tone.

"Brother Demon Demon, don't scare me, is this true?" Zhao Shidan asked in fear.

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you. The demon said solemnly.

"Then I won't take the pill. ”

"I'm telling you not to take pills for years, not to tell you not to take pills. There is a big difference between the two. "The demon felt that Zhao Shi was a little too scared, but what he just said was indeed the truth.

"Brother Demon Demon, I now rely more on my own qi refining and breathing, and take less pills. ”

"That's right, I'll tell you how to do it. The demon said.

The next day, Zhao Shi left the cave and flew directly to the Elixir Zhai, after a night of discussing with the demon and thinking about himself, Zhao Shi finally had a clear direction and goal for his next cultivation.

Combined with the advice given by the demon, Zhao Shi's cultivation goal was as follows: first put the growth of cultivation first, followed by the cultivation of sword techniques, and finally alchemy.

Of course, the infusion of spiritual power into the seven-colored Hongqiao Human Dao Seal will not be interrupted. As for the three Buddha hands, although they were extremely powerful, the demon suggested that they could be put aside for a while, and wait until the Dao Seal had enough spiritual power before starting to cultivate.

This time Zhao Shi went to the elixir Zhai, the main purpose was to buy the elixir, although he won the first place in the newcomer competition, obtained 100 pills of the positive spirit pill and 10 pills of the spirit pill, but for Zhao Shi, who was about to retreat and cultivate all year round, these were still too few.

Zhao Shi came to the place where the elixir was sold, and when he inquired, he learned that the elixir in the middle and late stages of the spirit liquid could only be purchased with contribution points, and the spirit stone was useless. At this time, Zhao Shike was dumbfounded, and it brought a big blow to his plan from the beginning.

However, the disciples at the counter recognized Zhao Shi and knew that Zhao Shi was Zhang Quan's apprentice, so he whispered to Zhao Shi: "Senior brother, you are not an outsider, I will tell you a secret that only our insiders know." ”

Zhao Shi's ears suddenly pricked up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but lean his ears over and asked, "What is the secret?"

"Senior brother, you are now your apprentice in charge. You can privately buy the part of the pill from all the alchemists in the Elixir Zhai that they don't have to hand over, and no alchemist will dare not sell this face to you. ”

"Can it still be like this? It's not good!" Zhao Shi shook his head, feeling that it was a bit bad to do this, and it would be even worse if Zhang Quan found out.

"What's wrong, senior brother, you don't know something, few outsiders know about this matter, but we people in the Elixir Zhai know it. Besides, what about the pill that the alchemist didn't have to hand in, did he take it himself? There are many people who have a good relationship with the alchemists, buy their pills at a low price and then sell them at a high price, earning the difference, and their pockets are full of spirit stones with white flowers, which can make me hungry to death. The disciple drooled, his face full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I see!" Hearing this, Zhao Shi was relieved, and immediately raised his eyebrows, now he was not worried about the lack of elixir.

"Thank you, senior brother, remember you. Zhao Shi smiled at this disciple and said.

"Thank you, senior brother, for your love, if you have any instructions in the future, just say, junior brother will not blink his eyes when he goes up the knife mountain and down the oil pot. Hearing Zhao Shi say that he remembered himself, he immediately showed his loyalty as soon as he arched his hand, and his face was full of smiles.

Zhao Shi walked towards the Alchemy Hall, which was the place where all alchemists practiced their daily alchemy. When you arrive at the Alchemy Hall, you will see a huge crimson palace shaped like an erupting volcano.

Zhao Shiyan walked into the alchemy hall at the same time as he was surprised, and as soon as he entered, a scorching breath greeted him. Why is it so hot here? Could it be that there is a volcano underground? Zhao Shi couldn't help but guess.

"You guessed it right, there is magma flowing under the ground of this palace, and with the blessing of the magic circle, the fire spirit power is so strong. The demon said to Zhao Shi.

"Sure enough, otherwise how could there be such a high temperature. Zhao Shi nodded and said.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to come, are you ready to start alchemy?" a disciple recognized Zhao Shi and stepped forward to ask.

"Let's take a look here first and get acquainted with the environment. Zhao Shi said with a smile, he didn't expect that someone would know him wherever he went now, and he felt that he was famous all of a sudden, which made Zhao Shi a little uncomfortable.

"Senior brother, please, junior brother will take senior brother to visit. The disciple made an invitation and said.

"Then there is Senior Brother Lao. Zhao Shiyi bowed his hand and thanked him.

So Zhao Shi came to an extremely vast hall under his leadership, "This is the place where Danshi below the third grade are alchemized. ”

Zhao Shi looked at it, and it was all exactly the same round fire pit, neatly arranged, with no end in sight. There is an alchemist next to each fire pit, who controls their own alchemy furnace and concentrates on refining Dan.

Zhao Shi walked towards the nearest fire pit and observed it. "This is the fire of the leylines used in alchemy, which is the magma flowing under the main hall, which is blessed by the magic circle, and the flames can reach the color of red. ”

Zhao Shi listened to his explanation, and looked at the flame under the alchemy furnace, it was indeed fiery red, so the temperature of the flame would reach more than 2,000 degrees.
