Chapter 67: The Purchase of Danding (I)
The next day, after Meimei slept all night, Lin Quan was sitting silently on the stone couch.
"Alas, although the cultivation method on the Five Elements True Solution is more effective, after entering the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, the effect is no longer as good as before! It seems that after entering the late stage of Qi Condensation, with the qualifications of my four spirit roots, there is not enough elixir to assist, don't think about advancing quickly. This alchemy technique really has to be learned!" A year and a half ago, Lin Quan had already officially started cultivating the Wood System Chapter of the Five Elements True Solution, but it was only when he really changed the Five Elements True Solution that he realized that this ancient cultivation method seemed to be more difficult to cultivate.
However, Lin Quan did not regret the revision of the "Five Elements True Interpretation". Because since he obtained the five-colored jade slip that was unsealed by Zhang Xin's painstaking efforts, Lin Quan found that each series of exercises in the Qi Condensation Chapter of the "Five Elements True Solution" had some slight differences from the "Aoki Jue" and a series of basic exercises he had learned before. Although the general theories of the two are the same, after Lin Quan's repeated scrutiny and research, it is found that the exercises on the "Five Elements True Solution" are more reasonable and reliable than the mainstream basic exercises in the immortal cultivation world today.
This discovery couldn't help but make Lin Quan overjoyed. You must know that the more basic the exercises, the more difficult it is to change, because they have been repeatedly revised and perfected by countless generations of monks and over a long period of time, and it can be said that they are already the most perfect. In this case, it is definitely a great opportunity for Lin Quan to get a good exercise such as "Five Elements True Explanation".
What made Lin Quan even happier was that when his cultivation successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Condensation, the new content on the "Five Elements True Solution" also included the caution of many ancient monks. This experience not only includes the cultivation of exercises, but also includes the casting skills of some commonly used spells and the common sense of cultivating immortals at that time. All of these have benefited Lin Quan a lot.
Perhaps other monks with better spiritual root qualifications would disdain the Five Elements True Solution. Even if they only cultivated ordinary basic exercises, they would be able to successfully impact the condensation stage, and they would not be able to waste a lot of time and pills to re-cultivate a different basic technique. But Lin Quan is different, he has long been aware of the difference in his qualifications and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck. Lin Quan knew very well in his heart that the hope of a person like him breaking through to the condensation stage was extremely slim, and it could be said that it was almost impossible. Therefore, as long as there is the slightest thing that helps the condensate, he will not let it go. What's more, cultivating this "Five Elements True Solution" is more than a little bit of help for breaking through to the condensation stage, with the help of Tai Chi Space and Yin Yang Pagoda, this difficulty is completely acceptable to Lin Quan.
..................
After strolling around the high-end shopping area of Tiemufang City, Lin Quan finally stopped in front of a large shop called "Qingdanfang". Looking at this three-storey attic from afar, he was also secretly praised in his heart.
'Qingdanfang' is the largest pill shop in Tiemufang City, and its strength is also well-deserved first. Although no one knows the owner of the shop, all the monks who have been in Ironwoodfang City for a while know that even if they are condensate monks or the owners of Ironwoodfang City when they come here, they are invited to the second floor at most. Moreover, those seniors in the condensation period were also very polite when they came to Qingdanfang, and no one dared to express dissatisfaction, let alone anyone who dared to make trouble here. No, it should be said that the people who dared to come to Qingdanfang to make trouble have disappeared. The most talked-about thing is an incident more than ten years ago, I heard that there was once an arrogant condensate stage cultivator who came here to shop, relying on his mid-condensate cultivation to make trouble, and even injured several attendants in the store. However, after the incident, the condensate stage cultivator never came out of the Qingdan Workshop and disappeared without a trace.
After standing at a distance and watching for a while, Lin Quan found that there were many monks entering and leaving the Qingdan Fang, and there were also quite a few monks wearing wide robes that completely covered their faces. Lin Quan smiled slightly, and also took out such a set of outfits to hide his identity from the storage bag, and after putting it on, he strode into the Qingdan Fang.
There are many people shopping in the lobby on the first floor, and Lin Quan looked around and found that there were indeed all kinds of pills here. There were even many pills that Lin Quan had heard of since the end. Of course, all the pills placed on the first floor were all used by the Qi Condensation Stage monks. In addition, this Qingdan Workshop not only sells all kinds of finished pills, but also buys all kinds of spirit flowers and spiritual grasses in the hands of monks, as well as some materials on the body of demon beasts, it can be said that all materials related to refining pills are collected here. It's just that Lin Quan didn't see a single item about the items used in alchemy that he cared about the most.
"Shopkeeper, I wonder if your shop has any items for sale for alchemists?" After turning around and getting nothing, Lin Quan had no choice but to come to the shopkeeper of this shop.
"Hehe, Your Excellency is really joking. As the best pill shop in Tiemufang City, I can proudly say that we have everything related to pills here. I don't know what you want to buy, Danding or Lingmu Charcoal, or is it a classic book about alchemy?"
"Oh, that's right, I suddenly became very interested in alchemy, so I wanted to buy a Danding to try. If there is still a surplus of spirit stones after buying Danding, I also want to take a look at the classics or Danfang about alchemy by the way, so I want to ask the shopkeeper to help introduce it. Lin Quan said in a deep voice with a deliberately lowered throat.
"Well said, well said. We have exactly two ...... right now Uh, three finished Dandings, how about Your Excellency choose Danding first?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then agreed to come down.
"Okay, so there's Shopkeeper Lao. Lin Quan nodded.
"Little Lizi, quickly go and get those three Dandings. ”
The shopkeeper turned to one of the attendants and gave an order, and at the same time quietly gave the attendant a very vague look, and his face was full of disdain.
"Yes!"
The clever squire also went in understanding after receiving the hint from the shopkeeper. Lin Quan didn't notice all this.
After a while, the clever guy who only had the fourth-level cultivation of condensation qi rushed back. At the suggestion of the shopkeeper, the waiter gently patted the storage bag on his waist, and three antique Danding fell on the counter.
"These are the only three finished Danding left in our workshop. From left to right are Yuan Wu Ding, Silk Ding and Jiu Ling Ding, you can choose by yourself. As for the classics and pill recipes about alchemy that you need, there is no need to be so troublesome, this is the "Qingdan Recipe" written by the alchemists of our workshop. This book includes a detailed introduction to more than 300 common spirit grasses, as well as the basic essentials of alchemy and 12 pills commonly used in the Qi Condensation Period. I think this should fully meet your requirements. The shopkeeper casually pointed to the three Danding on the cabinet, and then took out a thin booklet from his bosom and said.
After seeing so many Danding, Lin Quan immediately watched it with great interest.
In terms of appearance, the size of these three Danding is almost the same, but the color and shape are different. I saw that the 'Yuanwu Ding' and the 'Silk Ding' were very bright in appearance, and from time to time they emitted bursts of soft spiritual power fluctuations, and at a glance, they knew that they were rare treasures. Lin Quan's eyes were slanderous. As for the last one called the Nine Peaks Ding, Lin Quan also watched curiously for a while. It's a pity that the appearance of this tripod is too bad, and compared with the first two, it seems to be a defective product. Not only did this tripod not have any spiritual power fluctuations, but the tripod body was also gray and covered with colorful rust everywhere. It can be said that in addition to the three recognizable ancient characters of "Jiuzhi Ding" left on the tripod, this tripod has no merit at all.
"The shopkeeper is invited, I wonder if you can briefly introduce these three tripods?" Lin Quan, who had never been in contact with Danding, looked left and right for a long time and couldn't tell the good from the bad, and finally he could only look at the shopkeeper helplessly.
"Hmph, another rookie who doesn't know anything, he can't even tell the good from the bad of Ding. Such a person also wants to learn from other people's alchemy?Does he really think that after learning alchemy, he can earn spirit stones as easily as our Qingdan Workshop?" Seeing Lin Quan's embarrassed expression, the shopkeeper felt even more disdainful in his heart. However, out of professional needs and some kind of purpose that is not enough for outsiders, the shopkeeper still showed a professional smile on the surface, and forced himself to introduce himself to Lin Quan.
"This Yuanwu Ding has two feet and ears, which is carefully refined by the refiner of the condensate period with a hundred refining red copper, and the inside of the Ding is also engraved with a red fire array, and the martial fire emitted by the monk's spiritual power during alchemy is twice that of the ordinary Danding, which can greatly save the monk's own spiritual power loss. The price is 800 spirit stones. ”
Looking at Lin Quan, who didn't say anything, the shopkeeper didn't care, pointed to the second Danding and continued: "The three-legged and two-eared silk tripod in the middle is refined by the refiner of the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Period with good silk silver, and it has an excellent effect on the pill that needs to be repeatedly roasted with a simmer. The price is 600 spirit stones. ”
After a pause, the shopkeeper glanced at Lin Quan again and said, "As for this last one, although its provenance can no longer be examined. However, the ancient characters engraved on the tripod are still clearly visible, with nine feet and nine ears. The specific effect is unknown, but the Guding that has lasted for many years and can still remain intact is also a rare good thing. Selling price, four ...... This, even if you have three hundred spirit stones. ”
