Chapter Seventy-Four: Tsukidan
"Don't be too anxious about finding crystal refining, I've just condensed the golden pill now, and I still need to spend some time to stabilize my cultivation before I can go to some ancient secret realms to help you find it." www.biquge.info By the way, you have been out for more than half a year before, have you heard any news about crystal refining?" Ye Qingxue asked.
"No, although I went to several markets in the Great Qi Country and inquired about some large-scale auctions, I didn't hear any news of selling crystal smelting. ”
Lin Qian said a little depressed.
"Uncle Ye, I don't think the matter of refining crystals will be delayed for long, after all, I am already twenty-seven or eighteen years old now, doesn't it mean that after the age of thirty, the success rate will become very low?" Lin Qian said with a worried face.
Although Ye Qingxue said that as long as he waited until his cultivation was stable, he would go to some secret realms to find crystal refining, but when he reached the age of thirty, there were only two or three years left, so he was naturally a little anxious.
Ye Qingxue glanced at Lin Qian and said, "Thirty years old is just for other people, if you have cultivated the Yin and Yang Wheel Technique, as long as you build a foundation before the age of forty, the success rate will not be reduced, so the time left for you to find crystal refining is not only two or three years, but ten years." ”
When Lin Qian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but ten years sounds like a lot, but with the difficulty of refining crystals, finding enough for him to cultivate the Yin Yang Wheel Rotation Technique to the third layer, ten years is actually a bit stretched.
"I came to you today, in fact, there is one more thing. Ye Qingxue said with a sudden flash of eyes, and then took out a palm-sized wooden box from the storage bag and threw it to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian took the wooden box and opened it carefully.
Lin Qian was slightly stunned when he found that the wooden box contained a thumb-sized pitch-black elixir, but when he saw the dan pattern on the elixir, Lin Qian's pupils contracted suddenly, and he said with surprise and joy in his mouth:
"Uncle Ye, is this ...... Tsukidan?"
Lin Qian also distinguished from the Dan pattern of this pill that this Dan pattern was the same as the description of Zhuji Dan that he had seen in some classics, so he asked this question.
Ye Qingxue had mentioned to him before that since he had become the other party's Taoist companion, then Ye Qingxue would help him apply for a Zhuji Dan quota from the top of the sect.
Ye Qingxue glanced at Lin Qian, who was a little excited, and then said lightly: "That's right, this is exactly the one I promised you to apply for from the sect before. In recent years, the output of the sect's Zhuji Dan has been getting less and less, if it weren't for my master's face, with your five-line spiritual root qualification, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to apply for a Zhuji Dan. ”
When Lin Qian heard Ye Qingxue's words, he knew that she couldn't deliberately exaggerate, obviously with her identity, it was also a little difficult to apply for this Tsukidan.
This reminded him of an elixir trial held three months ago by the five major immortal cultivation sects of the Great Qi Kingdom.
Lin Qian naturally did not participate in this trial, but he had already learned from other people that this so-called elixir trial was a trial of entering an ancient ruin to collect and refine the main medicine of Zhuji Dan.
The disciples who participated in this elixir trial were all sent by the five major factions, which was also because the main medicine of refining Zhuji Dan had long been extinct in the outside world.
Although the five major sects are good at cultivating elixirs, the main medicine of Zhuji Dan is an extremely special elixir of heaven and earth, and this elixir can only grow in a specific area.
This made the plan of the five major factions to cultivate the main medicine of Zhuji Dan on their own was completely eliminated, and relying on the secret realm to produce this elixir by themselves, the number became more and more scarce with the trial opened by the five major factions every five years, which is also the reason why the number of Zhuji Dan produced by the five major factions has become more and more scarce in recent years.
Lin Qian heard that the elixir trial was much more cruel than the Ye Qingxue Daoist Companion Selection Contest he had participated in before, because the number of elixirs that were the main medicine of Zhuji Dan in the secret realm was extremely rare, and the five major factions distributed Zhuji Dan according to the number of elixirs collected by the disciples of each faction at the end, so naturally let these disciples of the five factions who entered the secret realm begin to tacitly engage in a bloody battle of snatching in the secret realm.
This also led to the fact that only about half of the disciples who participated in the elixir trial each time were able to get out of the trial alive every time.
Of course, these people who participated in the trial, the five major factions all had a limited number, each faction could only send twenty people, only less and not more, and each cultivation must reach the peak of the tenth layer of qi refining.
The reason why these people are willing to participate in this extremely dangerous elixir trial is mostly because their own spiritual root qualifications are not top-notch, if they don't participate in this elixir trial, even if they wait until their hair is gray, it is impossible to wait for a Zhuji Dan from the sect.
And as long as the elixir collected in the trial reaches a certain amount, it can be given a Zhuji Dan, so these disciples who don't want to be trapped in the qi refining period for the rest of their lives can only grit their teeth and take risks to participate in the trial.
In addition, if the other inner disciples of the Luojian Sect want to get the Zhuji Dan, they can only participate in the sect competition held once every five years.
Although the danger of this sect is not as dangerous as participating in the elixir trial, if you want to get a Tsukidan. It's not that easy, either.
That big competition was held just over a month ago, and Lin Qian also went to see it, and most of the disciples who participated in it had also cultivated to reach the tenth level of Qi refining, with the qualifications of these people, it was naturally impossible for them to get a Zhuji Dan quota.
However, they were obviously worried that the risk of participating in the elixir trial was too great, so they had no choice but to choose this kind of inner door competition.
As long as you rank in the top five in this big competition, you can get a Tsukidan quota, but if you want to get into the top five among hundreds of inner disciples, it is not easier than participating in the elixir trial to get the Tsukidan.
In addition to the above two methods for inner disciples to obtain the Tsukidan, the last one is like some disciples with excellent spiritual root qualifications, these people do not need to participate in the elixir trial, nor do they need to participate in the Inner Gate Competition, because of the spiritual root qualifications, their quota for the Tsukidan has been set.
It's just that in recent years, as the production of Tsukidan has become less and less, the number of places in this reservation has become smaller and smaller.
Lin Qian is one of the quota this time, but he does not rely on his spiritual root qualifications, but on the excellent backstage.
But even if there is a backstage, it is impossible to have one more Zhuji Dan, of course, for the sake of the long-term prosperity of the sect.
If the number of disciples in the foundation building period of a sect cannot be guaranteed, then its decline is naturally inevitable, and the number of Zhuji Dan of the five major factions has become smaller and smaller over the years, and naturally each of these scarce Zhuji Dans cannot be easily wasted.
Therefore, there is a rule that no matter what status disciples are, they can only get a place in one Tsukidan, just like those disciples who participated in the elixir trial and got a Tsukidan, it is impossible to participate in the Inner Gate Contest and get the Tsukidan again.
