----------------------------------------
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since Han Changlin arrived in Muyan Fairy City.
However, on this day, Han Changlin walked into his temporary residence with a gloomy expression.
After closing the door, Han Changlin sat down cross-legged, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
After half a month of inquiring, he found out that for some reason, over the past few hundred years, the number of Yanqing grass in Tianyan Valley had become less and less.
Therefore, the Yanqing grass that could flow into major fairy cities in large quantities in the past is basically gone, let alone the finished Yanqing Dan.
According to Han Changlin's inquiries, the last time Yan Qing Dan appeared on the market was eighty years ago.
And the number of monks who came to participate that time was unprecedented.
Even the ancient sects from far away in the Great Zhou Dynasty sent monks within their sects to attend.
But having said that, if he cannot form the elixir, decades later, Han Changlin will only be reduced to a wisp of dust somewhere.
Therefore, even after learning this, Han Changlin finally decided to go in and try his luck.
Even if he takes the risk of falling, he will not hesitate. After practicing before, Han Changlin spent most of his time studying the pill-forming experience left to him by Hong Yuanji.
Although he didn't fully understand it, it also made him understand the difficulty of forming a pill. For ordinary foundation-building Dzogchen immortal cultivators, the probability of successful pill formation is less than 10% without the assistance of Yan Qing Dan.
If you want to enter the golden elixir stage, you really have to smoke from the ancestral graves. This is why Yanqing Dan is precious and indispensable. It is said that one Yanqing Dan can increase the success rate of forming the elixir by about 10%.
When forming an immortal pill, a cultivator can take up to three pills at the same time. Due to the reduced potency of the medicine, three pills of Yanqing Pill can only increase the success rate by about 20% at most.
In other words, if a Foundation-Building Dzogchen Immortal cultivator can get three Yanqing Pills to assist him, he can have a success rate of about 30%. This is already extremely amazing. Under normal circumstances, among a hundred Foundation-Building cultivators, , in the end, no one may be able to successfully form the elixir.
Of course, this also includes the number of foundation-building immortal cultivators who cannot reach the foundation-building perfection. For foundation-building perfection cultivators, about one out of a dozen can successfully form the elixir.
And because Han Changlin has practiced the Qingmu Yanyang True Technique, as long as he can practice this fire technique to the highest level, he will have a 10% success rate in forming pills.
Coupled with Tiansha Zao, one of the three treasures of elixir formation, Han Changlin has at least a 50% success rate in elixir formation.
This probability is already abnormal. The probability of successful formation of this elixir is almost the same as that of earth spirit root cultivators with the assistance of Yan Qing Dan. Except for the demonic Tian Ling Gen, as long as Han Changlin obtains Yan Qing Dan, Han Changlin can successfully form an immortal. The probability of Dan is still very high.
But for most of the foundation-building Dzogchen monks, getting one Yanqing Pill is already a blessing. Those who can get three pills are basically the core disciples of the sect, or they are just unlucky. The lucky one who had a great harvest in Tianyan Valley.
Most of the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monks had no choice but to try their luck and form the elixir directly in the end. As a result, the probability of successful elixir formation was even lower, and even one out of ten could succeed.
After understanding this, Han Changlin didn't think that with his small fortune, he could buy three Yanqing Pills, and his qualifications were just ordinary pseudo-spiritual roots. The only thing that gave him some confidence was the cultivation of Qingmu Yan. Yang Zhenjue.
But even if he really reaches the peak of the Qingmu Yanyang True Technique, it will only increase the success rate of forming pills by 10%. For him, the risk is still too great.
After thinking about it, Han Changlin decided to go to Tianyan Valley.
However, when heading to Tianyan Valley, Han Changlin encountered another difficulty.
It turns out that Tianyan Valley is a natural secret realm that opens once every hundred years. Each opening only lasts for three years. And every time it is opened, it will attract foundation-building monks from all over the world of immortality to enter it.
Of course, even those very few Jindan monks will enter Tianyan Valley.
And there is also a long-standing legend among them.
Legend has it that this Tianyan Valley is an ancient flame dragon that has been well cultivated. After it fell in the valley, it was transformed by the power of the polar sun in its body. Not only was it extremely hot inside, but the aura was also extremely rich.
More importantly, tens of thousands of years ago, a god-transforming monk named "Sage Tianyan" appeared in the world of immortality, sweeping across the world of Zhao, Liang and Canglang Grassland.
And used the supreme iron fist to integrate the major sects in the world of immortality in these places, forming a force called the "Sky Flame Alliance".
And just when he was about to lead the "Tian Yan Alliance" to attack the army of the Great Zhou, the Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation, the "Tian Yan Holy Lord" who suddenly appeared out of nowhere suddenly disappeared.
And there are rumors that when he was having a meeting with everyone to discuss, he suddenly felt something, turned into the void, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Later, it was spread that monks would ascend to the upper realm when they reached the stage of spiritual transformation. Later, due to the ascension of the "Sage of Heavenly Flames", the plan to enter the land of Great Zhou could only end without any problem.
Subsequently, with the passage of time, the "Tianyan Alliance", which was originally composed of the iron-fisted strength of the "Sage Tianyan", gradually disintegrated over time, forming the major sects today.
But the legend of "Sage Tianyan" did not disappear with his ascension.
On the contrary, I don’t know who said it, but the true identity of this “Sage of Heavenly Flames” who appeared out of nowhere is actually an unknown casual cultivator.
The reason for its rise begins when it enters the "Tian Yan Valley", so some good people say that in this "Tian Yan Valley", there is the inheritance of the ancient flame dragon who has mastered cultivation.
Therefore, these golden elixir monks entered it in order to obtain the inheritance of the legendary ancient flame dragon. After all, they became god-transforming monks and ascended to the upper world. No one in the world of immortality could resist the temptation.
However, it is precisely because these Jindan monks will enter it that Han Changlin and other foundation-building monks who are purely for Yanqinghua have added many variables.
But having said that, this so-called inheritance of the ancient Flame Dragon is just a rumor in the world of immortality. Whether it is true or not cannot be investigated.
But one thing is more important, that is, every time Tianyan Valley opens, the city lord of Muyan Fairy City, the only Nascent Soul monk around, will personally sit outside Tianyan Valley.
It is also stipulated that any monks who enter within a thousand miles of Tianyan Valley cannot do anything within three years before and after the opening of Tianyan Valley, otherwise the Nascent Soul City Lord of Muyan Fairy City will personally take action and punish those who do not comply with the rules. Behead.
As for why this is the case, only the Nascent Soul City Lord of Muyan Immortal City knows.
In addition, Han Changlin also found out that the next opening day of Tianyan Valley will be five years later, and within these five years, if Han Changlin finally decides to enter Tianyan Valley, he needs to make early preparations.
...
However, I thought that there was no restriction on the number of monks who could enter Tianyan Valley. By that time, I don’t know how many monks would enter it.
In the end, even if Han Changlin didn't get the Yanqingcao, practicing in it for three years would still be a good choice.
But before that, he planned to master the transformation technique. With this secret technique, combined with his extreme burning escape technique, he thought that the probability of escaping from the hands of ordinary golden elixirs was at least 30 to 40%.
This is also the reason why he plans to enter Tianyan Valley.
In Han Changlin's view, cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism is essentially going against the will of heaven and competing with heaven for destiny. If you stop moving forward in the face of some dangerous situations, you will not be able to go far on the road of cultivating immortals.
Only by overcoming obstacles and being fearless, and on top of this, must one be alert and considerate. Only in this way can one be able to benefit from various opportunities and dangers, and make one's path to immortality last longer.
After making up his mind, Han Changlin no longer thought about Tianyan Valley, but began to think about his training plan in the five years before Tianyan Valley opened.
This Wood Flame Immortal City is a giant fairy city, and the resources for cultivating immortals must be very rich. Here, you can buy all kinds of materials, talismans, and elixirs.
After so many years of accumulation, he has hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones in his hand. This wealth is useless if it is idle. It is better to search for it in this fairy city. Firstly, he can find ways to improve his combat power.
Of course, this is only one aspect. The other thing that is more urgent for Han Changlin is that he also wants to buy some experiences of golden elixir monks in forming elixirs.
Although Han Changlin now has Master Hong Yuanji's experience in forming pills, in Han Changlin's view, this is not enough. He should know more about various emergencies in the process of forming pills. When accumulating pills, he should deal with various situations. Ability to deal with emergencies.
This will push the success rate of your own elixir formation to a higher level.
In some small and medium-sized fairy cities, this kind of elixir-building experience is rarely sold. There are two main reasons. One is that the number of foundation-building Dzogchen monks in these fairy cities is very rare and there is not much demand.
On the other hand, even if there are individual pill-forming experiences, the price is extremely expensive, and even fewer of the already rare Foundation-Building Dzogchen monks can afford it.
But Muyan Fairy City is different. As a giant fairy city, all the items needed by immortal cultivators must be gathered here. This is why Han Changlin came here without thinking after knowing the existence of Muyan Fairy City.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin walked out of the training room, left the courtyard, and headed to the east of the city. Han Changlin had already found out that in the east of Mu Yanxian City, there was the largest market in the entire surrounding area.
Most of the materials there come from the Canglang Grassland and the Dragon Mountains. Not only are there various monster materials, there are also various spiritual grasses, rare metal materials for refining weapons, talismans, alchemy tips, etc.
Anyway, as long as you can think of it, you can basically buy it in this market. The Taoist friend from the previous caravan also specially told Han Changlin that when buying various tips and techniques in the market, Browse carefully.
Because many monks will take some incomplete copies and sell them as complete copies. If the buyer does not check it carefully, he will suffer a loss. Even if he comes to the door afterwards, the other party will definitely not admit it.
However, once you browse it carefully, unless the skills and experience are really incomplete, as long as there are no problems, you must buy it. After all, for most immortal cultivators, photographic memory is the most basic ability.
Hearing this, Han Changlin felt speechless. There are fake and shoddy goods in the secular world. Similar things happen in this world of immortality. It has to be said that this world of immortality is really an enlarged and enhanced version of the secular world.
After walking through more than a dozen spacious streets for about an hour, Han Changlin arrived at Chengdongfang City. When he saw the noisy scene in front of him, even though Han Changlin was prepared, he was still stunned.
The Dongfang City of this city was completely on a different level than any other place he had seen back then. The area of the city in Mu Yanxian City was probably no less than dozens of miles in radius.
As far as the eye can see, they are all bustling with people. There are mainly two types of merchants in this city. One is naturally the monks who have completed the trial and obtained some materials and want to take action as soon as possible.
They usually choose a place to set up stalls and sell the materials on hand. There are also some shops that occupy a small half of the market area. These shops sell materials all year round.
The stores inside will not personally collect materials through trials, but will make a living by buying low and selling high to earn the price difference.
Many monks do not have the time or patience to set up stalls to sell materials, so they choose to sell the materials they have to these shops at low prices to save time.
The income may be less, but the time saved can be used to do more things.
There are also some cultivators who don't want to be pocketed by others, so they choose to set up their own stalls. It can be said that both methods have their own pros and cons, and there are gains and losses.
Han Changlin glanced around, and then walked towards the stalls. The monks setting up the stalls were clearly divided into two areas, with one area occupying 80% of the stall area.
The stalls set up here are all immortal cultivators in the Qi-refining stage. The various materials, magic weapons, and elixirs they sell are usually low-level and suitable for use by the Qi-refining stage cultivators.
On the remaining 20% of the area, the stalls are set up by foundation-building cultivators. The various items on their stalls are relatively high-end, with more than 90% of them being items needed by foundation-building cultivators.
The reason why Fangshi is favored by many immortal cultivators is not only because of the wide variety of various immortal cultivating resources here, but more importantly, there are opportunities to find treasures here.
Even in the lower-level stalls, the probability of finding treasures is higher, but this is not surprising. Some low-level casual cultivators would pick up a few pieces of metal materials that they did not recognize in the Dragon Mountains.
It is difficult for them to estimate an accurate price for such materials. They usually estimate a price based on their own psychological expectations and sell them.
For some metal materials, they may look ordinary, but they are needed by the ancestors of the Golden Pill to refine magic weapons. The value of such metal materials must be sky-high.
But low-level casual cultivators, without knowing them, are likely to sell them at cabbage prices. If a Jindan cultivator encounters them at this time, it will definitely be missed.
Therefore, in this market, some Jindan ancestors may hide their cultivation and hide in it.
...
Han Changlin, who knew these things well, naturally started by visiting the stalls.
At this moment, Han Changlin has transformed into a dark-faced young man in his mid-twenties, and his cultivation has been deliberately suppressed to the seventh level of Qi Refining. This state is more in line with the atmosphere here.
At these stalls, most of the products sold are low-level monster materials and metal materials, such as the water cloud leopards, fire-armored beasts, etc. that Han Changlin had killed before. The materials on his body can be seen everywhere here.
Even the materials from many monsters whose names Han Changlin had never heard of were quite large. This made Han Changlin sigh in his heart. This land of immortality is just like the fields in his hometown when he was a child. Some are fertile and some are barren. .
Fertile land can produce a considerable harvest in a year, while barren land may even yield no harvest. The difference is very large.
Han Changlin visited the stalls one by one with great interest, and a few hours passed quickly. Although Han Changlin did not find any treasures, he also collected many elixirs that he had never seen before.
There are also some very rare elixirs among them. Although they are seedlings of several years old, they are enough to surprise Han Changlin.
After spending most of the day, Han Changlin had collected seventeen kinds of them. Although some of them were not useful, he put them in his storage bag to be prepared and there would always be useful ones.
Even so, Han Changlin greatly lamented that this trip was worthwhile.
The only thing that made Han Changlin a little regretful was that he did not see the third-level elixir. In these stalls, although the stall owners were low-level casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage and might not be familiar with some precious metal materials, they For elixirs, as long as you are not stupid, you can probably judge the level.
The elixir is different from those metal materials, which may look ordinary. The elixir can be judged directly by the richness of the spiritual energy emanating from it.
Even if they are some seedlings, there is a big difference in the concentration of spiritual energy.
Han Changlin also saw several seedlings of second-order spiritual herbs at these stalls. Most of them were only more than ten years old and were ruthlessly picked for sale.
Seedlings of this type of second-level spiritual grass are actually cheaper than ordinary first-level elixirs that can be used to make elixirs, because even if you buy these seedlings back, they are still troublesome, and it is not easy to cultivate them and survive. matter.
Even if a place with rich spiritual energy is found and cultivated successfully, it is still unknown whether the immortal cultivator will survive until the day it matures.
Therefore, few people will buy the seedlings of these second-level elixirs, but for these casual cultivators, once they encounter such second-level elixirs in the seedling stage during their trials outside, they will definitely pick them. .
No matter how few mosquitoes there are, they are still meat, and in order to be able to sell them, the seedlings of these second-level elixirs are usually marked with an extremely low price, which leads to a funny scene.
A second-level spiritual grass seedling is likely to be sold for only twenty or thirty low-grade spiritual stones, and for stall owners, as long as someone is willing to pay the price, they will basically sell it.
To others, the seedlings of this type of second-level elixir are indeed a bit useless, but for Han Changlin, who owns the Immortal Mansion in the painting, it is an unexpected surprise, and he also knows that many second-level elixirs are Born from the aura of heaven and earth.
It does not bloom and bear fruit like the first-order spiritual grass, and can be planted artificially through seeds.
However, not all second-level spiritual grass seedlings are cheap. There are two types of second-level spiritual grass seedlings that are much more expensive. That is the second-level spiritual grass seedlings that can refine elixirs that improve cultivation and restore mana. .
