Song Pingzi came to this separate small courtyard beside the city wall of Yicai City this time because Minhu sent someone to tell him that he had obtained the recipe for the Poxu Pill.
The small courtyard was as quiet as the last time I came here, maybe because it was night, but I only saw Nuanhu and Ren Xixia in the pavilion of the small courtyard. This time I came during the day, but there were several girls. The male disciple who was in charge of the medicine garden of Nuanhu did not live in the city, but took care of the medicine garden outside the city.
There are more women, which naturally adds to the splendor of spring in the small courtyard.
However, Song Pingzi had no intention of admiring it, and felt a sense of solemnity in his heart. Every time I go out, there are rations of healing elixirs. I originally thought that elixirs were nothing in Yicaixing, and things like invisible elixirs were not very special. After all, the side effects were still quite serious. Only suitable for escaping or performing special tasks.
An Invisibility Pill made Yunzi particularly "benevolent". It was really difficult for him to judge what would happen if he refined the Void-Breaking Pill again. In his heart, he didn't want to be paid attention to by too many people. The reason why he was "willing" to stay in Yicai City was just to find a suitable environment where he could learn about the divine world and practice with peace of mind.
Originally, I was just moved by the enthusiasm of Nuohu, and Ren Xixia's problem seemed serious, but in fact it was not difficult. In the final analysis, the blockage of acupuncture points is caused by a problem with the mental cultivation method. If it were a physical problem, it would be impossible to practice till now. If the Xu-Breaking Pill can solve the problem, it won't be too difficult for him to refine a batch of pills for free.
But after knowing the identity of Fu Hu, he hesitated a little.
Facing the eager and curious eyes of Ren Xixia and a group of women, Song Pingzi could only suppress all the speculations in his mind.
Holding the prescription, Song Pingzi felt a little weird the more he looked at it.
This Xu-Breaking Pill is indeed effective. It stimulates all the essence and blood in the body to forcefully attack the blocked acupoints. It can be said that it uses all the potential of the whole body to attack. There is no reason why it cannot be successful. There is only one reason for the failure, and that is that the vitality and blood of the people who took Poxu Pill have declined to the extreme. Ren Xixia obviously does not belong to this category, but once the energy and blood in the whole body are stimulated, the consequence will be that her own reserves are exhausted, and every time she improves her realm, it will be extremely difficult.
From the pharmacology of the pill, Song Pingzi analyzed that Poxu Pill should be a one-time pill with no hope of promotion. Although it is unlikely to encounter the problem of blocked meridians in the future, the end of cultivation can basically be seen. The so-called difficulties in refining the Xu-Breaking Pill mentioned by Luo Hu are probably the real reason why most alchemists are unwilling to refine this kind of pill.
Seeing Song Pingzi brooding for a long time, Naohu sensed that there might be a problem and asked, "Alchemist Song, is there something wrong with the prescription?"
"That's not true. The prescription is correct." Song Pingzi hesitated for a moment, then told the truth. "According to Miss Ren's condition, if there is help from someone who is familiar with her mental cultivation method, and with the Xu-Breaking Pill, it can be solved in one go."
Huanhu patted his chest, which was rising and falling due to worry, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I just told Mr. Dong that he wouldn't fool me with fake prescriptions."
But after Yuanhu finished speaking, a spark seemed to jump out of his big eyes, but it was fleeting. Seeing that Song Pingzi's expression did not change, he knew that there might be other reasons, so he quickly continued to ask: "Alchemist Song is worried about the medicinal materials?"
At this moment, Song Pingzi was shocked by the sound transmission of Karma Fire in his body. He could only cover it up by shaking his head to avoid being surprised by his emotions when he saw him.
"Song Alchemist, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can bear it." Ren Xixia, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. After all, both Minhu and Song Pingzi had their own affairs to deal with, and it was not good to just sit and wait. Even if she has to pay an affordable price, it is not impossible. After all, Song Pingzi has nothing to do with her, and there is no reason why his efforts are in vain.
Song Pingzi looked at the woman and told her the truth behind taking Poxu Pill, but did not mention a word about the medicinal materials and refining. Whether you are willing or not has not yet been approved by me. The medicinal materials and refining are matters later.
After listening to this, Ren Xixia's face looked extremely ugly. I thought that as long as the meridians were opened, everything would no longer be a problem, but I didn't expect that there would be so many problems behind it. Just the difficulty of promotion may be acceptable, hard work can make up for failure. But when your potential is exhausted, your future realm will be the visible result.
So what's the point of taking Poxu Pill yourself? ! Thirty thousand years in the mortal realm, what’s next! ? A grain of flying sand or completely turned into nothingness?
The women around him, including Fu Hu, were all silent. This choice was difficult. No matter how high your understanding was, it was impossible to break through every promotion, unless it was guided by those famous teachers.
As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.
No sect will train such a disciple as an outstanding disciple, let alone whether the current Xinghe Shenzong will survive in the end. It is a matter of debate. Disciples like them are apprentices in a collective way. To be precise, they are an elder. With more than a dozen disciples, this lack of a clear master-disciple relationship is also because Xinghe Shenzong doesn't have many disciples, so there is nothing to argue with.
The destruction of hope is not the worst thing originally. The worst thing is that hope is dashed again. The last point that crushed Ren Xixia was the result of the Void-Breaking Pill that Song Pingzi presented at the end.
With a "plop", Ren Xixia's body softened and she fell to the ground, her eyes dull.
"Xixia, what's wrong with you?" Nuanhu and several other women hurried forward.
"If this is the result, what's the use of Poxu Pill!" No matter how rational Ren Xixia is, this matter is beyond her heart's acceptance.
"Don't be discouraged. Even if Po Xu Dan has such follow-up problems, there may be other solutions in the future!" Nuohu comforted Ren Xixia.
"Master Yuanhu, you are different from us. It is not easy for us to advance. With these difficulties, it will never be possible for me to reach the divine realm. My life span will eventually be exhausted." Ren Xixia's eyes were a little distracted.
"I'm no different from you, we're just hanging on for breath." He didn't know whether it was because he was stimulated or because of impatience, but he said something that surprised Song Pingzi.
Perhaps these words were really blurted out in a hurry. After saying it, Nuohu quickly closed his mouth, but his eyes glanced at Song Pingzi, biting his lower lip with a guilty conscience, but he had such an expression and action. In Song Pingzi's eyes, I felt pity for him.
Before Song Pingzi could react, the women present went from joy to anticipation, and now perhaps the softest sympathy and empathy in their hearts were touched, and they all let out low cries.
The courtyard is full of swallows and warblers, but it is desolate, like the sadness of burying leaves in late autumn. After seeing it and hearing it, Song Pingzi was really at a loss as to what to do.
He was still struggling, and Ren Xixia followed Luo Hu's eyes and saw Song Pingzi, and seemed to remember that Song Pingzi had found the problem. If there was really a solution, he would definitely know it. Ren Xixia let go of the hand holding Yuanhu, turned around on the ground, and knelt in front of Song Pingzi.
"Alchemist Song, you must have a solution. As long as you are willing, I will volunteer to be your alchemy tester."
Ren Xixia had no choice but to seize this only hope and would rather be an elixir tester.
In fact, as long as Ren Xixia tells Song Pingzi the cultivation method of Xinghe Shenzong, she may be able to find the problem, and perhaps with the help of Counselor Ping, she can improve or correct the crux of the problem in her current practice. But this is just peeking at other people's sect's skills, and it is really an inoperable last resort.
Therefore, in Song Pingzi's opinion, the most appropriate solution is to give up the original snack method and cultivate the soul.
But he also knew that Ren Xixia definitely didn't have the new spiritual cultivation method. If she really wanted to save her, she could only be saved by Nuohu or she who taught her the new spiritual cultivation method. In the early stage, she can even use Blue Star's mode to absorb scattered souls to practice, which will definitely not be lower than her current level.
Song Pingzi didn't understand what Ren Xixia said when she knelt down.
"Miss Ren, please wake up quickly. What do you mean?"
When Ren Xixia said it, Luohu knew that although this was really the last and helpless choice, if there was a change, at least it would not be the worst result. So he stood up and explained: "When Mr. Song becomes an alchemist, he can apply to have alchemy testers."
It turns out that in order for the alchemists to develop better elixirs, not only the Yicaixing, but also all the defense forces would do this. Otherwise, those alchemists would not want to be a member of the defense forces. But this is not enough for the alchemists. It's a routine operation.
The elixir tester is a real person test for the alchemist to refine the elixir. For example, Song Pingzi, now that Commander Wei has announced that he specializes in the refining of the Invisibility Pill, can announce the news in the mission hall to find the person who will test the pill, or they can agree in private. However, those released through the mission hall will be protected by Yicai City. In addition to the invisible pill, experimenting with other pills on the pill tester will be punished.
If it is negotiated privately, there will be no such restriction, and neither the Yicai City Defense Force nor the Five Colors Palace will interfere. If any problem occurs to the elixir tester, it is the result of self-inflicted problems, and there is no one to blame.
Once you become a pill tester for a certain alchemy master, who will fully comply with this request? It is not up to the alchemy master to decide what kind of pill it is. The alchemists protect each other, and no one will come to confirm that the experimental elixir is not an "approved" elixir.
