Chapter 31 The newcomer is big to one
Liu Chang saw that the time was almost up, and euphemistically proposed that he wanted to learn pharmacology, medicine refining and other things with Elder Shen, and Elder Shen agreed after thinking about it for a while. In his opinion, teaching his children pharmacology and other knowledge is not illegal, he is an elder who teaches pharmacology, and it is an internal matter, but it is just early education and more education.
Liu Chang turned his head twice, excited, and Elder Shen also laughed, he had never seen someone who was so eager to learn pharmacology and refine the elixir. Immediately, Liu Chang hit the snake with the stick, and asked in detail about the efficacy of various medicinal materials, how to judge the year, and what kind of medicine is taboo. Elder Shen couldn't stop talking about these things, and he couldn't stop talking, eager to take out all the things in his stomach.
The day passed like this, and the two of them made an appointment before leaving, and tomorrow Liu Chang will come here after going to the Chuangong Hall first and continue to study. Elder Shen already regarded Liu Chang as a confidant.
From then on, Liu Chang got up early and returned late every day, every day before the sun rose, the disciples of Yaoquan Peak could see Liu Chang's cultivation, and the moon came out for a long time at night, so Liu Chang dragged his tired body back to the room. So everyone thinks that this is a practice maniac, but unfortunately the qualifications are too poor, and no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. In fact, Liu Chang was acting in the morning and evening, and he was at Elder Shen's place during the day, and he only practiced and meditated in the room at night.
In addition to going to Elder Shen's place, he spent more time in the Chuangong Hall to listen to Senior Brother Chuangong's practice experience and fighting experience, which also benefited him a lot, after all, he used to study by himself, and there was no systematic law to find.
On the twentieth day of entering Yaoquan Peak, Liu Chang "inadvertently" revealed that he had advanced to the first level of Qi refining, which surprised all the disciples of Yaoquan Peak, and even Elder Zhang personally retested it with the tested Spirit Root Instrument, and the result was still the qualification of the four-attribute Spirit Root. Later, Liu Chang learned that Fifteen Ya, who was the first in the qualification of this batch of newcomers, entered the first layer of Qi Refining two days earlier than himself, and Liu Chang, who was frightened, exclaimed that he was very lucky, and he had to pay attention in the future, and he must be a few days later than Fifteen.
After knowing the news that Liu Chang had advanced to the first level of qi refining, the happiest person turned out to be Elder Shen, who was so happy that he actually gave Liu Chang the alchemy furnace he used when he was young, until many years later, he regretted it, and he was impulsive at that time.
Elder Shen's advice to Liu Chang was to learn spells first, such as fireball techniques, flame techniques, etc. The Qi Refining Period does not have the True Yuan Fire that the Foundation Building Period possesses, so it can only rely on spells to bake the alchemy furnace for alchemy. Elder Shen also told Liu Chang a secret, that is, the reason why Yaoquan Peak is called Yaoquan Peak is because there is a medicinal spring water in the peak, and adding a little in the alchemy process can increase the rate of becoming a pill. It is not bad for an ordinary alchemist to produce sixty percent of the pill with a furnace of elixir, and after adding the medicinal spring, it can reach seventy percent. Don't underestimate this little one percent, each furnace increases by one percent, how many furnaces a day an alchemist practices, there are hundreds of alchemists in Yaoquan Peak, and almost 10,000 spirit pills can be added in a day!
Liu Chang immediately became interested in this spring, and begged Elder Shen to take him with him next time he fetched spring water, Elder Shen had no choice but to agree, but the next time he took the spring was half a year later, because this spring water can only be taken twice a year, and this time it has just been taken and has been put in the secret vault of the Medicine Spring Peak.
In the past month or so, Elder Shen discovered a strange phenomenon, since Liu Chang came to the Medicine Garden, the growth rate of the elixir had actually decreased by one percent, and he couldn't find any reason, so he asked Liu Chang if he didn't feel any difference. And Liu Chang pretended to be stupid and only said that he didn't feel it and didn't know. In fact, he knew best in his heart, every time he arrived at the medicine garden, the spiritual power contained in the elixir unconsciously drilled into his body along Liu Chang's right hand, and was devoured by the little black silkworm in the dantian, which was the result of him stopping the little thing from forcibly sucking it.
Liu Chang felt that every time the little black silkworm and small things were called, it was not very good, so he named the spirit devouring silkworm Xiao Hei, feeling good about himself, and used his divine sense to control the spirit devouring silkworm and called "Xiao Hei" several times, but the spirit devouring silkworm did not raise its head, and only buried its head in its soul devouring business, but after all, it was still too weak, and the amount of devouring was still limited, otherwise Elder Shen, who was a monk in the foundation building period, would definitely notice the fluctuation of the aura of the medicine garden.
What made Liu Chang most strange was that not only did the growth rate of the elixir decrease, but his cultivation also stopped. It stands to reason that he meditates and cultivates every day, plus Xiao Hei's assistance, and replenishes part of the aura, and the density of the aura here is several times that of the outside world, how can he cultivate for more than a month to reach the peak of the tenth layer of qi refining, but I feel it, he is still in the early stage of the tenth layer of qi refining, and he has not made the slightest progress.
Liu Chang used the internal vision method to repeatedly check and found out where the problem was.
In addition to Xiao Hei in the dantian, there is another thing that makes Liu Chang almost forget its existence - Canglong Jia. After careful and careful observation, he found that the aura absorbed from outside the body and the aura of Xiao Hei's counter-replenishment were all absorbed by the Canglong Armor, but the Canglong Armor did not change anything except for the original thin and clear lines, which made Liu Chang feel very strange.
Liu Chang's heart moved, and the Canglong Armor immediately appeared on his body, like an arm making a finger, and the speed of the body protection was increased by half, and there was a feeling that the blood was connected, could it be that the level of this Canglong Armor had increased?
"God has eyes! God has eyes!" Liu Chang shouted loudly in the uninhabited mountains and forests, not knowing how to express his happiness at the moment. It took nearly half an hour to stop shouting. It's no wonder that Canglong Jia absorbs so much spiritual energy, and it actually absorbs spiritual power like humans and improves its own level.
After that, Liu Chang observed Canglong Jia several times a day to see if there were any changes, but unfortunately, after Canglong Jia became a medium-grade magic weapon, he no longer absorbed aura, and Liu Chang's cultivation began to gradually improve.
In the second month and five days after entering Yaoquan Peak, Fifteen Ya reached the second layer of Qi refining, and four days later, Liu Chang "inadvertently" showed the cultivation of the second layer of Qi refining. During this period, Elder Shen witnessed Liu Chang very "hard" learn the "Fireball Technique", "Flame Technique" and other fire attribute spells, not only learned, but also mastered it well, he could use fire attribute spells to refine pills, and his fire control ability improved rapidly under the guidance of Elder Shen.
The "Flame Technique" is a spell that is a little more advanced than the Fireball Technique, which can barely be listed in the yellow-level exercises, and it is a spell that urges the spiritual power in the body to form a flame. After Elder Shen's guidance, Liu Chang was already able to form a ring flame from the Flame Flame Technique and hold up the alchemy furnace for alchemy, but the spiritual power consumption was very large, and the spiritual power in the whole body could only refine two furnaces of vitality pills before it was exhausted. But this has already made Elder Shen dumbfounded, he has taught pharmacology and alchemy for decades, and he has never seen that disciple so demonic, not only is the progress in cultivation amazing, but even the refining of pills is terrifying, it is not bad for ordinary disciples to be able to practice the vitality pill after two years of entry, but this son has successfully practiced it in two months, and the success rate of the pill is not bad. What's even more strange is that this son is only a four-attribute low-level spiritual root.
By the third month, Fifteen Ya had not broken through to the third layer of Qi refining, and Liu Chang did not dare to show his three-layer Qi refining cultivation, which made Liu Chang more distressed, considering whether he should find a way to improve Fifteen Ya's cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too delayed for him to show his cultivation. After the newcomer is assessed, send the Idle Master back to the Yan Temple and come back. Thinking of the Venerable Master, Liu Chang seemed to see that the Venerable Master was sighing and waiting.
The newcomer assessment came as scheduled, and the newcomers all came to the central square, surrounded by many brothers and sisters who came to see the excitement. It was Elder Shen who presided over the newcomer assessment, and it seemed that Elder Zhu had been very busy with foreign affairs, and he had not seen him again in three months, except for the first day. I heard that it is to prepare a magic weapon embryo and use it when it is knotted after a while.
After Elder Shen quietly gave Liu Chang a "good luck" look, he announced the start of the assessment.
The newcomer assessment is divided into two parts, the first part is that the instrument that measures the cultivation tests the real cultivation of each person, and the minimum requirement is the first level of qi refining. The disciples who passed continued to stay in the inner gate, and began to receive one Lower Grade Spirit Stone and three Pei Yuan Dan from the Nine Heavens Guan Medicine Spring Peak every month. Those who are eliminated will be driven out of the inner gate and go to the outer gate to do some heavy work, such as chopping wood, carrying water, cooking, cleaning, etc., those with strong willpower will cultivate spiritual power to enter the first layer of qi refining, and they can also return to the inner gate, but the treatment will be halved, until they reach the fifth level of qi refining, they can be the same as other inner disciples.
Fortunately, in the first six days, Zeng Rui also successfully cultivated his spiritual power and reached the first level of Qi refining.
The second part is to select the top ten from the disciples who meet the standards, and the Medicine Spring Summit will give rich rewards, and the top three will be recommended by the core disciples in five years, and they are very likely to become core disciples.
Seeing that the new disciple needed to use an instrument for his cultivation, Liu Chang was worried for a long time, afraid that his breathing technique would fail in front of the instrument, but he passed the matter without danger, and let Liu Chang put the little heart that almost popped out of his mouth back into his stomach.
After all the newcomers had finished testing, Liu Chang found that there were more than 20 people who had not cultivated their spiritual power to reach the first level of qi refining, and these 20 people were driven out of the inner door and went to the outer door in despair. Some of them sat on the ground and wept and refused to leave, only to be picked up and thrown out. Liu Chang shook his head silently, a few days ago, he called himself a brother and a brother, but today he turned his eyes on him, this is the ruthlessness of immortal cultivators, if you want to gain a foothold in the immortal cultivation world, you must have enough strength! Feeling his eleventh layer of cultivation, Liu Chang is very satisfied. It won't be long before I set foot on the foundation and become a senior elder that everyone admires!
Next is the first big competition after the cultivation of the one hundred and eighteen qualified rookie disciples, and this is the time to test the results of the three-month cultivation. All the disciples were gearing up, their eyes widening, and they were all staring at the top ten prizes.
Speaking of which, this time Yaoquanfeng really made a bloody investment this time, and the prizes were richer than those of previous times. The first prize is a top-grade magic weapon, plus five solid essence pills, the second place is a medium-grade magic weapon, three solid essence pills, the third place is a low-grade magic weapon, a solid essence pill, from the fourth place to the tenth place will have a low-grade magic weapon, plus a number of spirit stones. In addition to this, the first-place disciple can also make a request, as long as it can be met within a reasonable range.
Among these prizes, it seems that the best magic weapon is the most valuable, but in fact, the most valuable is actually the Gujing Pill. What is the Gu Jing Pill used for, this Dan is the Pei Yuan Dan upgrade elixir, the effect of the Pei Yuan Dan is to take it to improve cultivation, and the Gu Jing Dan is used to break through the barrier and consolidate the Jing Yuan, for example, when the sixth layer of Qi refining breaks through to the seventh layer of the key layer, taking the Gu Jing Pill will increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck by two percent, even if swallowing the Gu Jing Pill when building the foundation, it can also increase the success rate of half of the foundation building, you can imagine how important this pill is to the Qi refining cultivator. Jing Yuan is the foundation of an immortal cultivator, Jing Yuan is strong, and the mana is profound. It's a pity that this pill is only useful for Qi refining cultivators, and it has no effect at all above foundation building.
Among these one hundred and eighteen disciples, including Liu Chang and Fifteen Ya, a total of sixteen of them had broken through to the second layer of Qi Refining within three months, and they were the most powerful contenders in the top ten. The rest are all Qi refining first-level cultivation, the difference is that some advanced earlier have completely stabilized the first-level Qi refining cultivation, and some are later, and the spiritual power in the whole body is still a little unstable, and they can't control the spiritual power in their bodies well.
There was also a similar phenomenon in the sixteen second layers of Qi refining, and there were five or six disciples who had just advanced recently, and it seemed that their master had forcibly broken through with medicine for the sake of this newcomer.
However, among the sixteen second-layer Qi refining disciples, there were still three strong breaths that faintly touched the edge of the third-layer Qi refining. One is a disciple of the elder of the Gong Transmission Sect, named Zhou Daxiong, who is nine feet tall and whose arms are thicker than Liu Chang's thighs, and seems to be like a bear; the other is a disciple of the elder of foreign affairs, named Zhao Gang, who is a fat man, weighing more than 200 catties, but his height is about the same as Liu Chang, and from a distance, it looks like a meat bucket rolling around; the third is the disciple of the punishment elder, who is thinner than Liu Chang, and his eyes are constantly looking left and right, as if he is always thinking about something in his head, which makes people feel very unstable and caring.
Liu Chang secretly contrasted, among these disciples, these three people can pose a threat to themselves, and the others are not to be feared.
