Chapter Thirty-Seven: Zhu Yan Dan
After Zhao Di bought a few Divine Cultivation Pills and a large number of Divine Cultivation Pills, he found a corner to take off the cloak.
Then he went to the Duobao Pavilion to blatantly purchase some commonly used refining auxiliary materials, etc., these things were not worth many spirit stones, and he didn't need to be wary of anything.
As for the raw materials for making talismans, he thought about it for a while and decided not to buy them for the time being, he had already planned to use the next time to learn the way of refining. In the middle of the Qi refining period, the production of high-level talismans will be discussed later.
After walking around this small Guling Street twice, and not seeing anything unusual, Zhao Di went to the "Cyclamen Tea" tea shop at the end of the street, sat down and ordered a pot of Yunwu Ling Tea, a specialty of the Kuanglu Mountains, and waited for Jian Xin'er while sipping tea.
This cloud and mist spirit tea is worthy of the best spirit tea, the tea leaves stretch like a knife, green like a new leaf, the tea is clear and slightly yellow-green, and there are even a few faint traces of white mist in the mouth of the cup condensed. As soon as he entered, Zhao Di felt a fresh fragrance hitting people, refreshing, and quite refreshing. Take another sip, and feel that the taste is mellow, the taste is not greasy or smooth, taste it carefully, rich and a little green, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. Even for a person like Zhao Di who doesn't understand the tea ceremony, he feels that it is very useful after a few sips.
When Zhao Di drank most of the pot of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, Jian Xin'er finally appeared.
"Radiant!" This was Zhao Di's first impression after seeing Jian Xin'er. At this time, Jian Xin'er's cheeks were slightly red, there was fine fragrant sweat on her forehead, and her big eyes were bright like water, revealing an excited look. Coupled with the pink dress on her body, she looks particularly lively and moving.
As soon as she appeared in the teahouse, she immediately attracted a lot of attention. Many monks glanced at him a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhao Di beside him was looked at a few more times.
"What good things did you get in exchange?" Zhao Di asked with a slight smile as he handed the girl a cup of spiritual tea.
"Hehe, guess!" Jian Xin'er sold a pass, she seemed to be thirsty, and after taking the spiritual tea, she drank it all. Then she casually released a "sound insulation technique", and a small faint light mask protected Zhao Di and her inside.
This is a commonly used low-level auxiliary spell that does not have much protection other than to isolate the sound from transmission.
Zhao Di refilled her again, shook his head and said, "I can't guess this." In fact, he thought to himself: "What else can there be, it's not beautiful clothes, or rouge gouache." ”
"Hehe, I know you can't guess. Look, what is this!" Jian Xin'er proudly took out a wooden locket from her arms and handed it to Zhao Di.
"This is?" Zhao Di opened the small box, and inside was seven or eight identical large purple pills, but it was the kind he had never seen before, and judging from the spiritual power emitted by the pills, it seemed to be the second pill.
He took the pill to his nose and sniffed it vigorously, only thinking that this pill was particularly fragrant and smelling, but he really couldn't think of which pill it was.
"I don't recognize it, what kind of elixir it is, makes you so happy!" Zhao Di admitted defeat, he had read a lot of classics about pills, but he still couldn't recognize it, could it be an extremely cold elixir?
"Let me tell you, this is the anti-Yan pill! Take one pill to keep your youth forever, and your face will never age. The girl said excitedly, but after a while, her voice was a lot lower: "It's a pity, these pills are all Cidan, I'm afraid the effect is minimal." There were only a few real Zhuyan Pills, all of which were bought by a few female uncles in the foundation building period at a high price of nine hundred spirit stones. I don't know how many senior sisters and sisters are rushing to buy them, but I almost bought them and grabbed them. ”
"Cidan also wants a grain of three spirit stones? It's so expensive, it must be a good thing! Give me a few." After speaking, without waiting for Jian Xin'er to agree, Zhao Di directly took two or three pills from the box and put them in his storage bag.
"You big man, what are you doing to stay young forever?" Jian Xin'er pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Zhao Di, revealing a naughty expression that made Zhao Di feel extremely cute.
"Huh. Zhao Di smirked twice, but did not reply, but directly asked about her cultivation situation.
Jian Xin'er's excited look disappeared suddenly, she put away the wooden box, and said slowly: "It's still the same." I was cultivating in Uncle Sun's medicine garden every day, and the aura there was very sufficient, but the progress was also very average, and I was not sure that I would be able to reach the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period before the foundation building competition in two years. I'm afraid that the foundation building test will be extremely difficult. ”
Zhao Di understood what Jian Xin'er meant. Eleventh-layer cultivators like him and Jian Xin'er, who did not have the full support of the sect family behind them, and were similar to scattered cultivators, could only be regarded as mid-stream among the many outer disciples. In addition, Jian Xin'er doesn't have much actual combat experience in fighting with others, and the magic weapons she has are only medium-grade magic weapons, so if she wants to stand out in the foundation building competition that everyone is determined to win, there is indeed not much chance.
The requirements for participating in the foundation building competition are that the cultivation has reached at least the tenth layer of the Qi refining stage, and the age is not more than forty years old. Because after the age of forty, the chance of building a foundation is much smaller, and even if you succeed in building a foundation by luck, you will basically stay in the early stage of foundation building for the rest of your life, and it is difficult to make any more progress in cultivation. The best age to build a foundation is under the age of thirty, and a large part of the monks who build a foundation at this age can further increase their cultivation.
Among the nearly 2,000 outer disciples who participated in the foundation building competition in the past, there were only hundreds of cultivators who had reached the thirteenth and twelfth layers of the Qi Refining Period, and most of the rest were the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period. It would have been very difficult to get one of the dozens of places out of 2,000. Either the cultivation is high and the mana is stronger than others, or it is relying on having a powerful magic weapon to steadily suppress others. Normally, these two conditions must be met to have a higher chance of winning Tsukidan.
And Jian Xin'er, obviously these two conditions are a lot worse, so she really has no confidence in the Zhuji competition in two years, and her tone clearly reveals a trace of frustration.
Zhao Di still encouraged her a few words, and proposed to let her concentrate on cultivation, don't worry about the magic weapon first, the strong ** weapon that everyone wants is hard to find, even if you put too much effort into it, it is difficult to get it. It's better to concentrate on cultivation, if you can break through to the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period before the competition, you can also increase your strength a lot.
After all, if the cultivation is improved by one level, boredom can be increased by a few points, whether it is mana or divine sense.
Jian Xin'er nodded, she also agreed with Zhao Di's opinion.
It was not very early, and the two of them left Guling Street, chatting about their cultivation experience while flying to Tiechuan Peak.
After Zhao Di sent Jian Xin'er back to Iron Boat Peak, he also returned to the refining room.
According to his own plan, since it was difficult to improve his cultivation in the past two years, Suo used this time to prepare a good magic weapon for the trial.
The ones that can be bought in the market are basically medium-grade magic weapons, or inferior high-grade magic weapons, and they are not cheap. Zhao Di didn't dare to make a rash move, and secondly, he felt that these magic weapons were not strong enough, and they would not be of great use under such a fierce confrontation as the Zhuji Competition, so he didn't put his hope in the market.
And after he discovered that Xiao Ding had the magical effect of improving the raw materials of refining weapons, he thought of the possibility of refining magic weapons by himself one day.
Now he feels that this is not only possible, but also feasible and very high.
According to his preliminary understanding of refining weapons, the most important thing about whether a good magic weapon can be refined is not whether the refining technique is skillful, but the raw materials of the refining tool.
The raw materials are too poor, no matter how experienced a refining master you are, you can't use a few catties of refined copper scrap to refine a medium-grade magic weapon. This is the same reason that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
On the contrary, as long as the raw materials are good enough, even if the refining technique is a little rusty, it is still possible to refine a medium-grade or even high-grade magic weapon. For example, Zhao Di used the high-grade refined copper material that Xiaoding had cultivated slightly, as long as it was slightly refined, it was possible to refine a medium-grade magic weapon, and if he met a skilled refining master, he might be able to make a high-grade magic weapon.
For a novice refiner, the possibility of refining failure is very large. Once the refining fails, the raw materials, spirit stones, auxiliary materials, etc. used in the refining will be scrapped, and there is almost no possibility of reuse. Therefore, for ordinary monks, they would never dare to refine magic weapons by themselves, and would rather spend a large amount of spirit stones and ask the refining master to process and refine them on their behalf. Otherwise, once it fails, the value of the wasted raw materials and spirit stones will be unbearable.
But for Zhao Di, he has a steady stream of high-quality raw materials and spirit stones, what is it to waste some! What he is afraid of is not waste, but exalting wealth. He didn't dare to hand over pieces of good raw materials to others to refine on his behalf.
It would not be good if the people who had been refining it became greedy and devised a trap for him to get into.
"The less uncertainties there are, the better. Your own destiny is still in your own hands!" Zhao Di thought.
(Fourth, thank you for your support!)
