He turned to look at King Kong and asked, "Brother Jin, what level of cultivation do you need to reach to fly?"
King Kong was startled and said, "I don't know either. Very few powerful cultivators come to Dafeng Village. There has been no news about this."
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, this village was too isolated. Think of a way, you must find a way to leave this place. Only by going to a wider world can you come into contact with new things and be confident about leaving.
It's just that it's more troublesome because I can't fly, so I can only go around the village and see them all. Immediately he said to the village chief: "Village Chief, I would like to trouble you to take me around the village. Don't miss every spot."
The old village chief readily agreed and led Cheng Ling out first. Fortunately, Dafeng Village is not big, and it only took two hours to carefully circle around the village. After Cheng Ling read it over, he probably had some plans.
He walked around the village again, laying down a formation pillar every time he passed. After a day, all nodes were set up. Returning to the village chief's residence again, he began to set up the spirit gathering array again.
The defensive formation definitely requires spiritual sources. He currently has no fairy crystals on his body at all, so he had no choice but to take out all the high-grade spiritual stones on his body and arrange them underground in the village chief's residence. Anyway, high-grade spiritual stones are now useless for cultivation, so setting up a spiritual source is better than nothing.
It didn't take long for the fairy spiritual energy from all around to gather in an endless stream. With the spirit gathering formation he has set up now, not much can be gathered, but it is several times better than the previous fairy spirit energy.
The village chief and King Kong greedily breathed in the fairy spirit energy in the air. Their whole bodies seemed to have become lighter and they had greater confidence in Cheng Ling.
With everything ready, Cheng Ling sprinkled down several formation flags, and the defensive formation was activated instantly. Soon, the entire village was covered by a layer of void defensive light. The originally strong wind began to slowly decrease, and in the end, only wisps of breeze were left.
The villagers looked at this scene in shock, and suddenly remembered that the village chief asked everyone to collect lapis lazuli, and they all came to the village chief's house. He asked: "Village Chief, the wind force has been reduced a lot. This is good. We no longer have to be eroded by strong winds every year."
The village chief laughed loudly and said: "You have to thank Cheng Ling for this. This young man is a good young man. He really helped our village significantly reduce the wind. Okay, don't crowd here. Now that the wind has reduced, everyone should go back and start again." Grow herbs and hope to exchange them for more meat."
When everyone heard this, they dispersed in a hurry and went to their own business.
The village chief looked at Cheng Ling with a different look. He grabbed it with trembling hands and said, "Cheng Ling, thank you very much. You saved our entire Dafeng Village."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Village chief, this is actually nothing. I have other ways to help the people in the village get a lot of meat."
The village chief was excited and asked in a trembling voice: "What can I do? Come on, I will try my best to do whatever I can!"
"That's it, village chief. We sell herbs to the monks in the city in exchange for meat, but I think the meat obtained from the herbs is limited after all. I wonder if the village chief knows how to make alchemy?"
"Alchemy? Do you know how to make alchemy?"
"Yes, I know a little bit about it, but there is no corresponding elixir recipe. I wonder if the village chief knows what kind of elixir the monks in the city like to use?"
The village chief's eyes lit up and he said: "I know this. Most of the materials planted in our village are Fusion Spirit Grass. This herb can help monks transform immortal essence. The alchemists in the city collect herbs to refine Fusion Essence. Dan!”
"Rongyuan Pill? Does the village chief know its recipe?"
"I vaguely remember that the herbs needed include Rong Ling Cao, Black Snake Orchid, Ning Dew Cao... and other eleven kinds."
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Okay, village chief, can you get these herbs together now? If so, I can try to refine them right away."
The village chief also became excited and said: "Yes, in fact, I have long thought about refining elixirs by myself. Unfortunately, there is no alchemist in the village, so I can only rely on selling the Spirit Fusion Grass in exchange for a very small amount of meat. If Rong Yuan The meat you can exchange for pills is dozens of times more than the herbs. With an alchemist like you, our Dafeng Village will definitely be able to get out of this predicament."
After saying that, he turned to King Kong and shouted: "You brat, hurry up and collect those herbs. The more you remember, the better!"
King Kong agreed and went in a hurry.
Cheng Ling thought for a while and then said: "Village chief, please see if there are any villagers in the village who are talented in alchemy. Once I succeed in refining it, I can let them learn. In this way, if I am no longer here, the village can continue." Keep developing.”
The old village chief was surprised, sighed, and said: "Alas~! I know that a capable person like you will definitely not be trapped in this small village. It is already very difficult to train an alchemist for Dafeng Village. Yes. Don't worry, Dafeng Village will not be a burden to you, it will only provide you with a place to stay."
Cheng Ling was moved in his heart and said: "Don't worry, village chief, I was brought back by Brother Jingang. From now on, Dafeng Village will be my home. No matter where I go, this will be my foundation!"
"Okay, okay, that's good if you think so!" the old village chief said happily.
Not long after, King Kong came in with a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old and said, "Village chief, this is hibiscus. He has all the herbs you want, so I brought them with me."
The old village chief nodded and said to Mu Jin, "Hibiscus, take out all those herbs and show them to Cheng Ling. Maybe he can refine the Fusion Pill."
A trace of enthusiasm flashed in Hibiscus's eyes, and she hurriedly took out herbs one by one from the backpack behind her.
Cheng Ling took a look and saw that the herbs were very clearly organized. Each medicinal material was classified into categories without any disorder. He couldn't help but glance at the young man and asked: "Your name is Hibiscus? Did you grow these herbs yourself?"
Hibiscus blushed and said: "Grandpa planted these herbs, and I am just responsible for taking care of them. Grandpa is old and has difficulty moving, so he asked me to come over."
The village chief interjected: "Cheng Ling, Mu Jin's grandfather once worked in the alchemy shop in Dachengchi. Unfortunately, he didn't work for long and came back. He is still very familiar with herbal medicine."
Cheng Ling felt happy and said, "Well, let me try first to see if I can refine the elixir. Hibiscus, don't go back yet. Just wait here!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to his guest room.
After closing the door, he laid down a few restrictions, took out the alchemy furnace from the ring, and began to refine it.
According to the spiritual power on Ziling Star, it should be the immortal power used, which means that if the finished pill can be refined, Cheng Ling will naturally enter the realm of a spiritual alchemist.
The herbal essences are extracted one by one under the burning of meteor fire, and the next step is smelting to fuse these herbal essences together to create a harmonious effect of yin and yang. The pill formula kept hitting the cauldron, making bursts of "dang-dang" sounds.
After continuing for an hour, all the liquid medicine in the alchemy furnace was completely integrated. Cheng Ling used his consciousness and divided the liquid into three parts. In order to ensure that the elixir could be formed, he lowered the difficulty as much as possible, divided his consciousness into three streams, and always paid attention to the changes in the dispersing liquid.
After a long time, when the medicinal liquid rolled thoroughly in the alchemy furnace, a long series of tricks for collecting the alchemy were played. But when he collected the elixir, he still smelled a slight burnt smell. When the elixirs were taken out, sure enough, all three were useless elixirs.
He took out an elixir and put it in the palm of his hand, and carefully recalled the entire alchemy process. He didn't seem to find anything special. Every step seemed to be step-by-step, so the elixir should not be formed.
What's the problem?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out why. In desperation, he could only try to refine a pot of elixir again. This time he completely gave up the idea of forming three pills, and instead compressed them all into one.
The liquid medicine kept rolling in the alchemy furnace, and the flames were controlled to perfection. Unfortunately, when the elixir was completed, it was still a bit inferior. The refined Yuan Yuan elixir did not have any vitality at all, and was almost the same as an ordinary ninth-grade elixir.
With such an effect, let alone selling it, it remains to be seen whether it will be useful.
After pondering for a while, he swallowed the Rongyuan Pill in one gulp. He wanted to feel for himself what the problem was.
After swallowing, close your eyes and listen carefully. The Fusion Pill was indeed successfully refined, but the effect was not ideal. It only transformed a trace of sword essence, and the remaining potency was not enough to transform it again. This is obviously not what a normal Fusion Pill should look like.
He rethought all the steps of alchemy again. Ever since I received the inheritance of alchemy, I have never considered the refining method of an elixir so carefully. Often, after re-refining it several times, it can reach the corresponding grade naturally.
Just as he was thinking about gathering spirits step by step, something moved in his heart and he finally understood.
The reason why elixirs are spiritual elixirs is because they have spiritual charm. Ordinary elixirs require alchemists to gather spirits, but spiritual elixirs need to be made according to the characteristics of the elixir. Even if it is the same kind of elixir and the same kind of spiritual grass, the skillful alchemist's alchemy techniques and elixir formulas are still different.
But he borrowed the spirit-gathering technique for refining the ninth-grade elixir. It is strange that the elixir refined in this way has aura. If it weren't for his alchemy techniques and flames that were so incredible, it would have been impossible for the last Fusion Pill to take shape, and not even a trace of its effect would have been reflected.
He immediately recalled the record in the inheritance left by Wei Liao: "The Tao of Alchemy is a strange way. There are thousands of people who have made alchemy, but it is difficult to find just one person who has achieved the Tao of Alchemy."
Without a flexible mind, flexible means and brains, you will never be able to become a top alchemist. At best, it can only become a low-level alchemy machine, unable to refine the best elixirs.
This is why many alchemists always have a chance of success when refining elixirs. After refining several furnaces of elixirs, only one furnace can be successful in the end.
After understanding what the problem was, he immediately calmed down and started refining the third batch of elixirs. This time, he completely gave up on the previous elixir techniques and followed his habit of not using elixir techniques to refine them.
After a long time, a faint scent of medicine came from the alchemy furnace, and he pulled his right hand towards the opening of the alchemy furnace. With a "ding" sound, an elixir exuding spiritual charm came into his hand.
He took a long breath, threw the elixir into his mouth without hesitation, and felt it carefully. Sure enough, the power of the medicine slowly spread out, and the sword energy in the body was transformed into immortal energy. His heart trembled, and he finally succeeded. From now on, he is an authentic spiritual alchemist!
