Chapter 41: Gu Ming's Enlightenment

I don't know if I don't know, I am scared!

Muma, the mountain is so big after looking at the moon, there are so many good things in the mountain!!

Not to mention ordinary medicinal materials, grab a lot of medicinal materials from the previous year!

There are actually a lot of spirit grasses here!!

Azure grass, blood coagulation grass, elderberry vine, I found a lot of good things in three days!

In the depths of the mountain, when Gu Ming was looking for the fragrance of flowers, he came to a huge dead tree that could only be embraced by two people.

After confirming the environment, he was already stunned when he finally knocked on the trunk of the dead wood and found 7 gentian plants in this tree hole!!

1 plant is of the top grade, 3 plants are of the middle grade!!

Muma, is it an eye-opener or is this thing very common in the first place?!

How can second-order spirit grass appear in bundles?!

In the end, Gu Ming rubbed his temples and thought that it was estimated that no one in the Moon Moon Sword Sect would spend energy on such a "lowly" and experience-based job as looking for mountains, and the people outside who knew how to search for mountains did not dare to fight the idea of looking at the mountains behind the moon, so they cheapened themselves!

Nima, this is completely a treasure trove that has not been developed for many years, and the Mochizuki Sword Sect guards the treasure mountain without knowing it~!

In the future, this will be the master's "small treasury", and if you are short of money, you will go to the back mountain to get it!

It's not uncommon for you Mochizuki Sword Sect to have a lot of money, but I'm very poor!

Hehe, the little brother is not talented, so he laughed at it!

Gu Ming smiled and returned to the station to hand over the task with the harvest, and found Mr. Jiang with a familiar car!

After a period of greetings, he successfully got his reward!

Then, with the help of Mr. Jiang, he replaced all the medicinal materials that he couldn't use for the time being with the medicinal materials needed to refine the Qi Seeking Pill!

After scraping together, I finally got enough medicinal materials to refine the pill 20 times!

Gu Ming let out a long sigh of relief!

It seems that it is enough to "splurge" yourself for a while!

After thinking about it again, Nima, the alchemist really spends money!

If it weren't for alchemy, the money would have gone back to pick up grandpa and go to the city to live a good life!

Thinking of this, Gu Ming pinched his fingers and counted the time.

Ouch, it's been a long time since I've been back.

Let's go back to my hometown and see my grandfather first!

It's better to act than to move.

Gu Ming said goodbye to Mr. Jiang, returned to his yard, packed up his things, and then set off back to Dashishan, before leaving, he wanted to say something to Mingyue, but after looking around in the courtyard, there was no senior brother at all!

This senior brother, as long as the master is in retreat, he knows how to "wave" everywhere all day long, but he seems to know everything, and he also has a combat power completely different from that of ordinary alchemists!

Senior brother, isn't your "tech tree" a little crooked!

Nima, the world of genius is really incomprehensible!

Thinking of this, Gu Ming, who was on the way home, kept sighing and shaking his head!

......

When Gu Ming came back from Dashishan five days later, his mood had suddenly brightened!

Grandpa's attitude is very clear, and he will support him in practicing alchemy at all costs!

Grandpa's reason was very sufficient, which made Gu Ming feel that his previous thoughts were a little childish!

First of all, practicing the Danshu well is the best way for Gu Ming and the two of them to repay Lin Ziqian for saving his life and knowing the kindness!

Secondly, Gu Ming seems to have a little talent in alchemy, so he can't grasp this best opportunity given to him by God to change his fate, even if God agrees, he Li Laohan will not agree!

In the end, now is the stage when you need to fight the most, and it is not yet the time for pleasure, and you ask him, an old man who has been in the mountains all his life, to live in the city, which is not enjoyment, but a kind of torture!

Li Laohan touched Gu Ming's head, with a look of relief!

This grandson, who has only known him for a short time, is still thinking about himself even if he becomes an "immortal master", making him feel like eating bee feces, and his heart is happy.

Li Lao Chinese earnestly advised, hoping that his grandson would go back to practice and practice well now.

In the future, there is no need to come back to see him every month, speaking of which, the old man also waved an axe in front of Gu Ming and chopped a lot of wood, indicating that his body was still strong, so that his good grandson could rest assured!

Under Gu Ming's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Li Laohan agreed that since he came back this time, he would accompany him for a few days, and he would only come back if he had something to do in the future, and he didn't have to come back every month if he had nothing to do!

......

Return to the Door Station.

Gu Ming calculated the time, the master should be out of the customs.

He packed up his clothes, came to the study to find Lin Ziqian, and bowed down to greet the master!

After Lin Ziqian saw Gu Ming, after he saluted, he didn't wait for him to speak again, he called him in front of him first, unfolded his cultivation and carefully checked Gu Ming's physical condition, and then stroked his beard and said, "The body is recovering well~!"

Slightly stunned, Gu Ming immediately reacted, the master must have known about the fight with Gao Xiang!

He hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "The disciple is not filial, let the master remember it!"

"It's too much to talk about unfilial piety! But you have been entangled in mundane things for two months, and there are indeed some generals who have turned a deaf ear to the words of the teacher!"

Gu Ming heard that the master's tone of concern was more and less of blame, which made him a little ashamed.

With a red face, he bowed to the master and said, "The disciple has the teachings of the master!"

Lin Ziqian motioned to his apprentice to excuse himself, smiled a little, and said: "You too, it's not good to learn anything, learn from your senior brother to be reckless and arrogant!"

"The disciple doesn't want to fight with others, but he has been approached many times, and the disciple is forced to fight! The disciple's incompetence has brought shame to the teacher!" Gu Ming smiled bitterly, he felt wronged in his heart, he was always targeted, he couldn't hide and dodge, he couldn't beat him, he was really aggrieved!

Lin Ziqian noticed his unwillingness, smiled lightly, and said: "You are really, you can attack the strengths of others with your own shortcomings, how can you be undefeated!"

Gu Ming thought about it, was full of expectations, and said to Lin Ziqian very seriously: "Master, I want to become stronger! At least I have to have the ability to protect myself!"

"Hehe, don't worry, can you tell me how the Danshu practice is going?"

Gu Ming blushed, lowered his head and reported: "Not a single success, the gap between Dan Dao's theory and practical operation is really a bit big!"

The master sat on the seat and looked at him with a smile, "Tell me more details!"

Gu Ming pondered for a moment, summed up his experience of 10 alchemy failures, and slowly prayed.

Well, at the beginning, I had no experience, and I couldn't handle a few links well, but the more later, the state became worse and worse, not only the details were not easy to control, but also the connection was prone to problems!

First of all, the disciple felt that my biggest problem at present was that my cultivation was insufficient, and the aura in my body was not enough to support the entire process of refining first-order pills.

Secondly, the disciple felt that due to his lack of experience, the refining of Dan materials was still in books, and the timing of refining was still far from grasping.

In addition, the connection of all aspects of alchemy is not skilled, and a mistake in one step can easily lead to the inability of the entire alchemy to be remedied.

In the end, the disciple still had a problem with his mentality, and the failure of alchemy caused him to be depressed and impetuous, and after several consecutive failures, his confidence in alchemy became shaken, which led to more failures.

When Lin Ziqian heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hehe, it's not bad that you can experience this!"

"The best way for you to improve your strength now is to increase your success rate in refining pills, and strive to become an official Dan Master as soon as possible!"

Gu Ming asked with some surprise: "Even if you become a first-order Dan Master, you can't improve your own strength much!"

"It seems that you still have misunderstandings about alchemists. ”

Lin Ziqian was not angry at Gu Ming's rhetorical question, and continued to solve his doubts, "The strength of Danshi is not in the level of cultivation, but more in the huge energy outside of his own strength. ”

"Because alchemists have paid too much to pursue the Dan Dao, there are very few Dan masters who have cultivated themselves to be profound and strong, but a good Dan master will make a lot of good karma in all walks of life in Xiuzhen, master a lot of resources, and eventually become an existence that even the strong people of one side are afraid of, and at least it will become the core of a group!"

Gu Ming was unwilling, thought for a while and asked, "Master, is there a way to become the kind of Dan Master who can take care of both strength and Dan Dao?"

"Hehe, if it is his master, in view of your situation, you may think that you are whimsical!" Lin Ziqian smiled and continued: "But not as a teacher! I believe in the cause and effect of the alchemist, and I also respect the cause and effect of the disciple's own choice! I will just tell you that your choice is very difficult, and it is even very likely that nothing will be achieved in the end! Are you really ready to bear all the consequences?"

Because he had been thinking about it for a long time, Gu Ming looked at the master with a firm look in his eyes and replied categorically: "Of course!"

Lin Ziqian sighed and said slowly: "A qualified Dan Master, in addition to his own cultivation, will generally sacrifice a life soul to conclude the soul fire, and a better Dan master will sacrifice another life soul to conclude his most suitable Dan furnace as a Horcrux, and the best Dan Master will even sacrifice the last life soul to form other Horcruxes or soul beasts related to the Dan Dao! This will cause the Dan Master to suffer a lot in battle compared to other types of cultivators with the same cultivation!"

"From above, it can be deduced that if you can overcome the impact of the loss of the soul covenant on combat effectiveness, then it is not impossible for Dan masters to fight! As far as the current cultivation realm is concerned, for alchemists, there are at least three ways to improve one's strength!"

Speaking of this, Lin Ziqian paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The first is the same direction as your senior brother Mingyue, the minor runes, formations, etc. are not affected by the soul covenant, and the requirements for cultivation are relatively low!"

"This is the method commonly used by alchemists at present. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, these skills, each more expensive than the other!"

"Talismans and formations are very expensive skills. Take the talisman as an example, a first-order talisman is tens or hundreds of taels of silver, and a high-level talisman is often tens of thousands, and some even hundreds of thousands, so fighting with a talisman is fighting with money!"

"The second is that there is a special type of pill in Zadan, called 'Poison Pill'. As the teacher has already said, nothing in the world can not enter the pill, and natural poisons can also be alchemized, but all the pills obtained by adding poisonous things during refining are collectively referred to as poison pills. ”

"There are so many poisons in the world, and how wide the poison pills are in the world. With a wave of his hand, a high-level poison pill master can be called to break the void and the strongest is better than death, and the lower can let the mortal city chicken and dog not stay. How a high-level poison pill master's ability depends entirely on his ruthlessness, and it is precisely because the destructive power it causes is so terrifying, the cultivation realm's tolerance for poison pill masters is also very low, once the Heavenly Dao Alliance finds out that the poison pill master is evil, it will be chased and killed, and the door will be destroyed. ”

"Therefore, the poison pill is also the most unpopular branch in the Danshi lineage. ”

"There is also a way to abandon the right path of the Dan Master, not to pursue the ultimate of the Dan Dao, in addition to the soul fire and Horcrux necessary for the alchemist, to conclude one or two weapons, objects, and beasts used in battle, in order to increase their own strength; ”

"At present, among ordinary alchemists, the most common practice is to conclude an auxiliary soul beast in addition to Danhuo and Dan furnace, which can not only help cultivation, but also improve one's own strength, and can also be used as a mount in ordinary times, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone!"

"But as far as the Dan Master lineage is concerned, the people who are least treated by the majority of Dan Masters are those who are all messed up with the three soul covenants. Since you don't want to concentrate on alchemy, it's better to go directly to be a weapon cultivator or a beast cultivator, why bother to be a bitter Dan cultivator!"

"Ming'er, after you go back, you can think about it as a teacher, now your cultivation is still low, and you haven't even opened the first life soul yet, and it's not yet time to choose your own path. ”
