Chapter 20: The Vine Strengthens the Vein

After putting away the Ziling Youteng, Xiao Ning was about to leave, but was stopped by the ghost guy: "Boy, you really don't know the goods, such a demon beast at the lower level of the Xuan Rank, you just threw it here?" His hard shell can't even hurt your ice steel sword, if it is refined into a spirit armor, it must be very powerful, even if you don't refine the spirit armor, you can take it out and exchange it for other resources, you just throw it here, it's a waste!"

The ghost guy's eyes are very vicious, although he is not a master of refining, he still knows the value of this purple-veined overlord scorpion very well.

Listening to the ghost guy's words, Xiao Ning was also stunned, he didn't expect this purple-veined overlord scorpion to have such value, he hesitated slightly, and asked the ghost: "Ghost guy's senior, are you telling the truth? This purple-veined overlord scorpion really has such a great value?"

The ghost guy was a little hated and said: "Of course, what I said just now is just the shell of this overlord scorpion, the scorpion venom on its body is even more precious, not only can it be used to refine pills, if you throw it out at a critical moment, it is something that will kill people." But you ignore such a good thing, you say you can't lose!"

The ghost guy's cultivation resources are obviously not rich, otherwise he would definitely not teach Xiao Ning a lesson for the sake of a purple-veined overlord scorpion.

Xiao Ning didn't get angry when he heard the ghost guy's words, but became excited, and said politely to the ghost king Ling on his waist: "Thank you for mentioning it to the ghost guy, otherwise I would have really missed such a good thing." ”

These words are Xiao Ning's heart, although he has lived in the Five Elements Gate since he was a child, the resources he has obtained are very limited, and he only receives Fudan once a month. Especially after Fa Jue's own qi sea was different from ordinary people, and he needed more resources to be able to improve his cultivation to a higher realm, Xiao Ning's enthusiasm for this kind of resource increased several times.

The ghost guy seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Ning's reaction, and his voice softened a lot: "Well, it seems that you are not rotten wood, and you have not yet reached the point of being unpolishable. Remember, any demon beast has treasures on it, even if it is the lowest-level yellow-rank demon beast, its skin and bones can also be used as auxiliary materials for refining medicine or refining, now you can accumulate more resources, and the speed of cultivation will be faster. ”

Xiao Ning still agrees with the ghost guy's statement, the cultivation path is originally piled up by resources, and without enough resources to support it, even if the qualifications are good, they can only sit and wait for old age to die.

Therefore, when the ghost guy spoke, Xiao Ning had already begun to cut off the hardest parts of the purple-veined overlord scorpion one by one. In addition, it also used the ice steel sword to cut open the scorpion's tail, and the purple liquid collected a full bottle.

In order to prevent these things from affecting each other, Xiao Ning also deliberately disposed of these things separately, and it took about half an hour before he finished disposing of this purple-veined overlord scorpion.

Seeing that Xiao Ning's collection action was so professional and so meticulous, the ghost guy had nothing to say, and finally left a sentence for Xiao Ning to find a secluded place to practice, and then stopped speaking.

Xiao Ning didn't bother the ghost guy anymore, he found a weathered cave halfway up a hill, and prepared to temper his meridians with Ziling Youten, in order to make the meridians more stable.

Tempering the meridians is not an easy task, the meridians are the second qi sea for the monk, and if the meridians are damaged, this person's cultivation will inevitably be greatly affected. Tempering the meridians requires a very complex and lengthy process.

The first thing Xiao Ning had to do was to get the juice out of the purple vine. *The method has already been explained to him.

Brush......

Xiao Ning's hand flashed, and the purple Ling Youteng, which was more than three feet long and the thickness of his thumb, was divided into nine sections, each of which was about the same length.

At the same time, Xiao Ning's hand, a delicate small tripod appeared in Xiao Ning's hand. This small tripod was found by Xiao Ning from Fu Jiansheng's Qiankun bag, and there were still bursts of medicinal fragrance left in it, which should be the small pill tripod that Fu Jian used to refine pills in his life.

Refining the pill is a complicated process, either extracting the earth's core flame, or cultivating the pill fire yourself, so that the process of alchemy can be completed.

Whether it is the flame in the center of the earth or the Dan fire that he cultivates, Xiao Ning does not have it now. The Earth's Core Flame needs the support of the formation, and Xiao Ning's time to really enter the path of cultivation is only more than two months, and he has never been in contact with the formation at all, let alone using the formation to extract the Earth's Heart Flame.

As for Danhuo, in addition to cultivating to reach the fifth level, you also need to have a suitable spiritual technique. The reason why Xiao Ning took this medicine tripod this time was only because this medicine tripod was a good spiritual power medium, and he could use his spiritual power to extract the juice in this Ziling Hidden Vine, but it was not used to refine the pill.

Airplanes......

Xiao Ning instilled a spiritual power into the medicine tripod, and the small medicine tripod suddenly let out a soft sound, and then the blue light on the small pill began to flash.

After about a cup of tea, a faint fragrance wafted out from the small medicine pod.

"It's done!" Xiao Ning's heart was overjoyed, he could already feel that those purple juices in the small medicine tripod contained strange powers.

After the first cut of Ziling Youteng* was completed, Xiao Ning did not rush to take it, but found a small jade bottle and put it in.

Throwing out the remaining residue, Xiao Ning began* the second cut of the purple Ling Hidden Vine. With the first experience, Xiao Ning*'s second cut of the purple Ling Youteng was shortened a lot.

In about half a day, the nine purple Ling vines had all turned into medicinal liquid.

"Hoo ......"

Xiao Ning let out a long breath, he was not at all relaxed in this half a day, and even Xiao Ning felt that he was more tired than fighting with the Purple Overlord Scorpion.

After finishing Ziling Youteng's medicinal liquid*, Xiao Ning was not in a hurry to take it, now his spiritual power has been consumed a lot, and he needs to cultivate back as soon as possible.

Spiritual power is consumed quickly, but it is not easy to come back from cultivation, and it took Xiao Ning a night to replenish this half-day consumption.

However, what made Xiao Ning feel happy was that the spiritual power he cultivated again was more refined than the spiritual power consumed, and it seemed that consuming spiritual power was not a bad thing, and every time the spiritual power consumed was cultivated again, it could also improve the quality of the spiritual power in his body.

Grunt......

Feeling that the spiritual power in his body had returned to his peak state, Xiao Ning no longer hesitated, and swallowed a small bottle of the medicinal liquid of Ziling Youteng* with one mouth.

The fragrance of purple vine is pleasant, but it does not mean how delicious this medicine is. Although the medicinal liquid that comes out of this purple Ling Youteng* has a faint fragrance, the taste is extremely spicy and bitter, and it is difficult to swallow.

In addition, after Xiao Ning swallowed this small bottle of the medicinal liquid from the Ziling Hidden Vine*, he felt as if countless blades had been born in the sea of qi, and these blades kept rolling, as if they were about to shatter his sea of qi.

"Uh......"

Xiao Ning couldn't help but snort, and at the same time began to mobilize the spiritual power in his body to swim in the meridians of his body.

As the spiritual power kept wandering, Xiao Ning felt as if his meridians were about to be severed. Now he finally understood what this meridian tempering was all about, that is, to withstand the impact again and again to increase the bearing capacity of the meridians.

The medicinal power of the first bottle of liquid medicine lasted for about two hours, and Xiao Ning seemed to be in the middle of the sword mountain for these two hours, and it was impossible to persist without extraordinary perseverance.

Grunt......

After the effect of the first bottle of medicinal liquid was exhausted, Xiao Ning did not give himself time to rest at all, and then swallowed another bottle of Ziling Youteng medicinal liquid.

This time the feeling was different from the first time, Xiao Ning felt that his dantian seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, and the scorching feeling made him almost faint. Fortunately, Xiao Ning is not a weak-willed person, so he gritted his teeth and persisted. is still mobilizing all the spiritual power, constantly shuttling through the meridians, and every time he shuttles, Xiao Ning feels that he is roasted alive.

It was still two hours, and the scorching feeling gradually dissipated, and Xiao Ning's heart was also full of doubts, why did he have a completely different feeling after taking the medicinal liquid of Ziling Youteng twice?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ning still decided to ask the ghost guy: "Ghost guy, why does the medicinal liquid that comes out of this Ziling Youteng* feel completely different before and after taking it? There can't be anything wrong, right?"

In Xiao Ning's heart, what he was most worried about was whether these two different feelings would cause any trouble to his cultivation in the future.

Hearing Xiao Ning's question, the ghost man's voice sounded faintly: "You kid doesn't know anything, you dare to mess around like this, I really have to admire you." Let me tell you, this Ziling Hidden Vine also has a name, called the Five Elements Tribulation Vine, which means that if you want to make your meridians more stable, you need to endure the test of the five kinds of suffering, these five kinds of suffering, also known as the Five Elements Tribulation, are the Golden Tribulation, the Wood Tribulation, the Water Tribulation, the Fire Tribulation, and the Earth Tribulation, and you have to go through five different kinds of suffering to make the meridians more stable!"

The ghost guy's voice had a deep taste, obviously he had long known that Xiao Ning would have such consequences after taking this Ziling Hidden Vine Liquid.

After listening to the ghost guy's explanation, Xiao Ning's face immediately became bitter, and he couldn't help complaining: "Ghost guy, senior, this is something wrong with you, why don't you remind me when you see me taking Ziling Youteng Liquid?"

Xiao Ning felt that the ghost guy obviously deliberately didn't remind him, just to see him embarrassed.

In fact, the ghost guy did have this thought, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ning's willpower was far beyond his imagination, and he insisted on the baptism of Ziling Youteng Liquid for two rounds in a row.

The ghost guy didn't care about Xiao Ning's complaint at all, and said: "First, you didn't ask me before, and second, whether I tell you this kind of test or not, you have to bear it." Third, the pain, though difficult, is not life-threatening. With these three reasons, my reminders don't matter anymore. ”

The ghost guy is an old fox, he has crossed more bridges than Xiao Ning has walked, and just finding a reason is enough to prevaricate Xiao Ning.

"Humph!"

Xiao Ning snorted angrily, and then stopped paying attention to the ghost guy, he knew that it would be no good to continue to argue with the ghost guy, so he took out a bottle of Ziling Youteng medicine again, intending to continue to stabilize his meridians and lay a more solid foundation.
