Confucius once said: The trouble with people is to be a teacher. Perhaps Cheng Ling's alchemy talent was too strong, or perhaps Mr. Chen Danquan had never taught his disciples so seriously. All in all, ever since he decided to teach Cheng Ling Dan Jue, he wished he could impart all he had learned to others.
Cheng Ling was in such a miserable state now that he didn't even have time to breathe. He was taught all kinds of alchemy knowledge all day long. Fortunately, his understanding and talent were extremely high, and Chen Danquan could usually understand it after just one explanation.
Although it was hard, Cheng Ling persisted. He knew that the knowledge of alchemy he had learned was slightly different from that of this world. The inheritance left by Wei Liao was unknown how many years had passed, and the alchemy recipes, materials, etc. recorded in it were very different from the present day.
Based on the old man's alchemy status in Canglan Continent, he is an excellent mentor. He was like a sponge, absorbing alchemy knowledge crazily. Not only that, but it also corroborated Wei Liao’s alchemy inheritance and proposed new alchemy theories from time to time, which benefited Chen Danquan a lot.
The old man and the young man spent all their time talking about alchemy in the secret room, and they all felt that their realm had been greatly improved. Especially Chen Danquan, whose level of alchemy was already advanced. He had been stuck at the peak of the eighth level for more than a thousand years. Cheng Ling's unintentional summary made him suddenly enlightened.
As the saying goes, once the key to the problem is found, it is like peeling off the cocoon, and the realm of alchemy steadily improves. From the early stage of the ninth stage, it quickly reaches the middle stage, the peak of the middle stage, and finally stops at the late stage of the ninth stage.
It's not that his understanding of alchemy has reached its limit, but because as his understanding of alchemy deepens, his cultivation realm becomes loose again. If he continues to understand, he will touch the way of heaven and advance to the Mahayana stage.
The period of transcending tribulation is a very wonderful state. According to the order of the monastic realm, thunder tribulation will fall in the golden elixir stage, and thunder tribulation will fall in the god transformation stage. According to common sense, the third level of thunder tribulation for monks should be in the integration stage.
But this is not the case. The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation is not at the integration stage, but at the peak of the Tribulation. After a monk reaches the stage of transcending tribulation, his body already has all the phenomena of the universe and is a combination of energy and spirit. Ability to peer into the void and see surreal scenes.
"The power of nothingness" realizes the realm of "emptiness", its original meaning is "quietness", "consciousness without distracting thoughts and turbidity", that is, bodhicitta, pure consciousness, truly cutting off self-thoughts and thoughts, neither arising nor dying, and evil thoughts cannot breed. Truly regain the essence of the "true self", understand the operation of the "rules of heaven", and achieve the powerful state of conforming to the heaven and earth, and the unity of heaven and man.
Such a state has reached the pinnacle of the mortal world. The next step is to transform the mortal into an immortal, and the life form will undergo great changes. Having touched the origin of the power of heaven and earth, and being able to use the power of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, the monk's soul, body, attack, and defense have all been greatly improved.
Naturally, Heaven will not allow such a state to be reached easily, and the ninth level of thunder calamity descended is the most intuitive manifestation. Reaching the pinnacle of cultivation and defying the heavens to resist calamity, the difficulty of it is countless times higher than that of the thunder calamity of transforming into a god.
For example, if 10,000 monks cross the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, maybe 50% can survive it, that is, 5,000 people will succeed. As for the God Transformation Thunder Tribulation, the chance of success is almost half, and at most 30% can succeed. There may be two or three thousand people among ten thousand people.
The thunder tribulation in the Tribulation Stage is even more terrifying. Among ten thousand monks, it would be great to have one person. Not only that, when Heaven rained down the calamity thunder,
You will also face inner demons, which is even more terrifying! This is also the reason why Mahayana monks are extremely rare in Canglan Continent. The success rate of one in 10,000 discourages all monks.
Without a powerful protective magic weapon and a strong mental will, I would not dare to try it easily. By this time, the advantages of the large sect's forces were revealed. They have powerful defensive formations, rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and massive cultivation resources, which greatly increases the chance of successfully overcoming the tribulation.
At this moment, the place where Chen Danquan is located is just a rented alchemy secret room in Yujing City. If he dares to easily try to overcome the thunder tribulation, he can only try his best to suppress it. Only when he finds the secret cultivation realm of the Alchemy Alliance can he dare to try. In this way, he was free, just watching Cheng Ling studying alchemy on the side, chatting and joking with Xiao Ling'er by chance, and living a very comfortable life.
At this time, Cheng Ling was immersed in studying alchemy. Chen Danquan's guidance was of great help to him. It can be said that learning alchemy has always been a wild road. If it weren't for the strong chance and continuous inheritance of alchemy, coupled with his extremely high understanding, this would allow him to reach the seventh level of alchemy. The realm of teachers.
It's just that Chen Danquan's guidance is like a systematic training instructor. Organize what he has learned into categories to make alchemy knowledge more systematic and diversified. What makes him happiest is that he has learned many new prescriptions.
This is also the biggest factor in being willing to obey the old man. Danfang, no matter which sect or family it belongs to, will not be spread easily. Many times, there are obviously very powerful alchemy realms, but there is a lack of elixir recipes. If you want to get elixirs, you can only buy them with spiritual stones.
This has made him depressed for a long time. Now that he has the elixir passed down by the old man, he no longer has to worry about this problem in the future. Now, what he is refining is the Chaoyang Pill that monks in the integration stage use to improve their realm.
Chaoyang Pill is a seventh-grade elixir, which is difficult to refine. It is difficult for ordinary seventh-grade alchemy masters to refine it. After a period of practice, he did not hesitate to search out the materials for the Chaoyang Pill from the old man and started trying it.
With a move of his right hand, glazed fire came to his palm. Now that the glazed fire has returned to Cheng Ling, not only that, he also used some fire-attribute materials he obtained before to upgrade the glazed fire to green, further increasing the power of the flames.
Meteor Fire was upgraded to deep purple. With his current strength, he did not dare to use it easily when he came to Yujing City. It would be much more convenient to have green Glazed Fire. As the temperature in the cauldron increased, he threw medicinal herbs into it one after another.
Immediately afterwards, the elixir in his hand was shot out non-stop. ...The handprints on the furnace cauldron made bursts of sound, like the voice of heaven, echoing in the secret room. The medicinal liquid of each herbal medicine is extracted, the medicinal residue is separated, and the purity becomes higher and higher.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour later, another long series of hand techniques began to condense the pill. The liquid medicine kept rolling in the cauldron, and Cheng Ling's consciousness was always paying attention to the changes. After a long time, he carefully divided the complete liquid medicine into five equal parts.
Concentration is intense and the last moment is approaching. After a while, the elixir collecting technique was played out, ding ding ding ding ding, and five pills fell into the prepared jade bottle.
Chen Danquan was even more impatient than him, so he quickly took out one and examined it carefully. After a long time, he said with satisfaction: "Yes, the medicinal solution has been purified to 97%, and the number of pills is five. Four are of high quality, and one is of medium quality. You have officially advanced to the middle stage of the seventh-level alchemy master."
Cheng Ling let out a sigh of relief. In the past month, he had almost forgotten all sleep and food, and was completely immersed in alchemy. The alchemy techniques taught by Chen Danquan have been mastered, and the level of alchemy has finally been raised to the mid-seventh level, and Chaoyang Dan can also be refined.
With the Chaoyang Pill, the progress of cultivation in the integration stage can be accelerated. However, he was not satisfied. From the bottom of his heart, the Alchemy King Valley was an excellent secret realm. If he could go in, he would not be able to go in alone. He planned to bring Liu Qingyan, Jian Yinghao and others in with him.
The development of the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Academy requires a large amount of elixirs. I can refine seventh-grade elixirs, but I don’t have the corresponding medicinal materials for kunai. Although the southern region has many resources, who would dislike having too many materials? .
Xiao Ling'er was very happy to see it. It was incredible to see Cheng Ling promoted from the sixth grade alchemist to the seventh grade in one month. He never thought that a person's talent and understanding could be so high. This month, she was not idle either. She practiced the basic swordsmanship taught by Cheng Ling for eight hours every day and completely gave up on practicing other swordsmanship.
At first, he didn't feel any difference. After half a month, he gradually felt that he was more proficient in using the swordsmanship he had practiced in the past, and many of the difficulties in swordsmanship were easily solved. As a result, he admired Cheng Ling even more and did not dare to relax in the daily practice of basic swordsmanship.
Cheng Ling looked at it and nodded silently. Xiao Ling'er had a good talent in swordsmanship, and more importantly, her persistence that refused to give up. Originally, he only required four hours of basic swordsmanship training every day, but after seeing the results, Xiao Linger took the initiative to increase it to eight hours, and his basic swordsmanship improved a lot.
Chen Danquan looked at the two of them with relief and said, "Okay, I have taught you all the elixirs. It's up to you what level you can reach. Now it's time to leave."
"Old man, where are you going?"
"The auction, you don't know, it's been a month, and tomorrow is the day when the auction will be held."
Only then did Cheng Ling wake up. Time flew by so fast. Before he knew it, a month had passed, and now his mind was still full of tricks for refining alchemy. As soon as he heard that the old man was about to leave, his mind immediately became active and he asked: "Old man, can you really take us in?"
"Nonsense, just follow me!"
After saying that, he left the secret room first, and Cheng Ling and Xiao Ling'er hurriedly followed.
When they came to the secret room, the old man threw a storage ring casually as the rental fee. Without saying a word, he led the two of them directly towards the square where the auction pot was held.
When we came to the square, we saw dense crowds of people, with a circular building built in the middle, like a bird's nest. On the left and right sides of the building, two large image formations were erected for the monks in the square to watch.
Cheng Ling and Xiao Ling'er followed the old man and walked straight towards the center of the building. When they arrived at the entrance, they saw several guards guarding the entrance. They saw Cheng Ling and the other three reaching out to stop them: "You three, please show your tickets for the auction."
Cheng Ling's expression changed, and he looked at the old man, secretly thinking that his bullshit has been blown, and people won't look down on you at all.
Chen Danquan smiled indifferently, took out a token from his arms, and flashed it in front of the guard. The guard's expression changed and he hurriedly said: "It turns out to be Senior King Chen Dan. He is too young to see Taishan. The wing has been prepared. Please come with me!"
The old man raised his head and glanced at Cheng Ling, snorted, and said calmly: "Boy, follow me!"
