Chen Yuan was surprised by the sudden discovery.
Although there are three less spiritual stones, the level of the Qi Gathering Pill has increased.
According to the introduction in "A Brief Introduction to Monks", pills of different levels have different effects. A two-star Qi Gathering Pill is equivalent to ten times that of a one-star Qi Gathering Pill.
Now, all three bottles of Qi Gathering Pills have been promoted to three stars, which means that the effects of all the pills have increased a hundred times.
While he was overjoyed, Chen Yuan didn't know the whole story.
"Remember, when I went to set up traps in the outside world, in order to prevent the elixirs and spiritual stones from falling from my arms, I put them in the round tripod. Could it be said that this tripod is an extraordinary treasure?"
Chen Yuan was confused and picked up the round tripod that was originally used as a brazier.
The tripod is round in shape, with two ears and three legs. There are two divine dragons hovering outside the copper wall, lifelike, like the supreme god above the nine heavens.
Inside the tripod, there is a curved copper piece that divides a complete tripod into two halves.
The spirit stone and Qi Gathering Pill were placed on the right half of the cauldron by Chen Yuan.
Because his family was too poor and the Double Dragon Cauldron seemed like an antique treasure, Chen Yuan once asked his father about the origin of the cauldron.
"According to my father, this tripod was dug out of the ground when he was building a house. The reason why he did not sell it as an antique was because the tripod was too broken and old, surrounded by eighteen large and small buildings. It’s a pothole, and the pawnshop owner said it wasn’t worth a penny.”
While Chen Yuan recalled the origin of the round tripod, he touched various parts of the round tripod with his hands.
The two dragons carved on the outer wall soar above the clouds, like the dragon ascending to the sky, and like the unyielding creature, intending to reach the top of the heaven and overlook the world.
Among them, the dragon on the right side is as clean as new, with a pair of dragon eyes emitting charming light, while the dragon on the left side is dim and dull, as if there is a mist shrouding its body.
"If you want to know whether this cauldron is a treasure, just put the spiritual stones and elixirs into it."
With a decision in his mind, Chen Yuan took a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill and a spirit stone, and then threw them all on the right half of the tripod.
next moment……
I saw a silver ray of light rushing out from the right side of the tripod, like thunder and lightning in the clouds, illuminating the entire cave.
The silver light only existed for a moment and then disappeared.
"Sure enough, the level of Qi Gathering Pills has been upgraded again. A total of 108 Qi Gathering Pills have all been promoted to five stars. Each pill has five pill lines."
Chen Yuan was so happy that he never imagined that his home had been used as a brazier for many years, since it was a treasure mentioned in "A Brief Introduction to Monks".
Chen Yuan believed that with this extraordinary tripod, the path to spiritual practice would be smooth in the future.
"The right half of this cauldron can advance the Qi Gathering Pill, but what's the use of the left half?"
While Chen Yuan was thinking, he placed a spirit stone and another bottle of three-star Qi Gathering Pill on the left half of the round tripod.
There was another rising pillar of light, but the color of the light pillar changed from silvery white to dark green.
"No, the left half of this cauldron is poisonous!"
Chen Yuan was shocked and backed away.
Although he has never seen the poison used by monks, he also knows that the dark green light beam and pungent smell are abnormal.
The dark green light beam only stayed for a moment and then disappeared. But the bottle of three-star Qi Gathering Pill was completely useless. Not only did it emit a dark green light, but its level did not improve.
"It seems that the left half of this cauldron adds poison to items."
After Chen Yuan made his own judgment, he stopped conducting experiments. Xuanyun only gave him ten spiritual stones. Five of them have been used now. The remaining five must be used sparingly.
If the spiritual stones and elixirs in his hands are used up before he can become a true immortal, he will really be sorry for himself and cannot hide from Xuanyun.
After confirming the function of the round tripod, Chen Yuan no longer dared to put it in the cave.
Once such a valuable treasure is lost or stolen, it will definitely not be recovered.
Simply wrap it in clothes and carry it on your body, just like a pot that can be used for cooking at any time.
After eating the remaining dry food he brought with him, Chen Yuan began to practice according to the "Scorching Sun Burning Heart Technique".
Time passed slowly, and Chen Yuan sat quietly for five hours without sensing the aura in the surrounding space.
It wasn't until he put a five-star Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth that he finally felt the spiritual energy surrounding his body, like squirming insects, entering the blood vessels from the pores of the skin, and then blending in along the blood flow. to the skin and bones, and finally to the lower abdominal dantian.
"This is the feeling of the first level of Qi refining!"
Chen Yuan stretched his muscles and bones and felt comfortable all over, as if he had just taken a hot bath. Every pore was stretched, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
After a cultivation experience, Chen Yuan's meditation became normal, and he was immersed in the pleasure of spiritual energy entering his body almost every day.
Although he swallowed more than a dozen five-star Qi Gathering Pills in a row and failed to advance from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level of Qi Refining, he felt that his strength was increasing every day.
"The trap has been set for three days, and it's time to retrieve it. I just don't know if I caught the hare."
Chen Yuan walked out of the cave and came to the location where the trap was placed.
Three of the eight traps were destroyed, and hares were successfully caught in two of them. Each one weighed three kilograms, enough for Chen Yuan to eat for several days.
Ouch...
Just when Chen Yuan was dealing with the last trap, a deafening wolf howl suddenly came from not far away.
The body retreated rapidly, and Chen Yuan could see clearly that it was a giant wolf that was all white and two feet long.
"Snow Mountain Wolf King!"
Chen Yuan was shocked. Although he knew that there were a small number of wild wolves in Hutou Mountain, he never thought that he would encounter a snow mountain wolf king.
It is the leader of the wolf pack, and its strength is enough to crush five strong men.
Although he was successfully promoted to a monk at the first level of Qi Refining, Chen Yuan did not have the means to fight with the monks, so when he first saw the Snow Mountain Wolf King, he chose to retreat slowly.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. While retreating, Chen Yuan held the broken sword in his right hand.
Thinking about it, the broken long sword can easily cut off the bandit's long sword, and it can also leave scars on the Snow Mountain Wolf King.
Chen Yuan retreated, but the wolf king was slowly approaching.
boom……
As Chen Yuan retreated, his back hit a tree, and the Snow Mountain Wolf King was only ten feet away from him.
"No, we can't sit still and wait for death. The strength of this Snow Mountain Wolf King is extraordinary. After being targeted by it, there is no chance to escape. We can only do our best!"
The big tree blocked Chen Yuan's retreat, but it also gave Chen Yuan the determination to fight.
"Come on! Let me experience your wolf power!"
With the broken sword blocking his way, Chen Yuan was ready to fight at any time.
Ouch...
After the Snow Mountain Wolf King stared at Chen Yuan for a moment, a whistle shook the mountain forest, and then his snow-white body suddenly pounced on Chen Yuan.
"Hmph, if I can kill bandits, I can naturally kill you too."
Chen Yuan, who was covered in cold sweat, cheered himself up and raised the broken sword.
The lightning and flint collided with the long sword and the Wolf King's claws, causing light to flicker in the space.
"This Snow Mountain Wolf King is also extraordinary. The long sword can easily cut off the bandits' swords, but it cannot hurt the Wolf King's claws. Fortunately, I was prepared in advance for the previous blow. Otherwise, I would have died under its claws. .”
Chen Yuan blocked the Snow Mountain Wolf King's blow, but he also felt its power.
If he hadn't been promoted to a monk at the first level of Qi Refining, he would have died from liver and gallbladder splitting from just this one blow.
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chen Yuan knew clearly that he could no longer passively withstand the Wolf King's attacks and needed to take the initiative to attack.
The Wolf King is thick-skinned and agile. When ordinary hunters fight against ordinary giant wolves, they mostly use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. Firstly, you can quickly dodge the wolf's attack, and secondly, you can look for opportunities to shoot.
Chen Yuan didn't have a bow and arrow, but he definitely couldn't fight the Wolf King in close combat, otherwise he would definitely be the one who would be passive and injured.
Looking around, in addition to white snow, there are trees of various sizes.
Ouch...
There was another ear-splitting wolf howl, and before anyone had time to think of a response, the Snow Mountain Wolf King came to kill them again. His bright red eyes seemed to be possessed by a demon, bloodthirsty and ferocious.
Rolling over, Chen Yuan did not dare to face the Wolf King again.
After leaving three human-shaped holes in the snow, Chen Yuan avoided the Wolf King's second attack.
However, he understood that no matter whether it was a head-on confrontation or blind dodging, it was not the best way. Only by taking advantage of the situation could he have a chance of survival.
An idea flashed, and when the Wolf King was about to kill for the third time, Chen Yuan had a bold guess in his mind.
He reached into his arms with his right hand, took out one of the three bottles of Qi Gathering Pills, and then poured out three dark green pills.
With eyes like a torch, he waited until the wolf king opened his bloody mouth and pounced on him for the third time.
"It's now!"
Throw your right hand forward decisively, and then roll on the snow again.
The elixir entered the Snow Mountain Wolf King's mouth, and a stream of dark green smoke instantly rose up.
Chen Yuan could see clearly that the moment the smoke rose, blood flowed from the Wolf King's eyes. In just a moment, the three-foot-long Snow Mountain Wolf King lay in the snow, unable to move anymore.
"The elixir placed on the left side of the round tripod is indeed toxic!"
Chen Yuan was glad that he had made the right decision, but he also understood the role of the Yin and Yang Double Dragon Cauldron.
The yang part can upgrade the elixir, and the yin part can make the elixir become highly poisonous. However, whether you want to upgrade the elixir or infect the elixir with poison, you need to consume spiritual stones.
Without the spiritual stone, the Shuanglong Cauldron would be a dilapidated cauldron with no other use than a charcoal basin for burning fires.
After making an accurate judgment on the Yin-Yang Double Dragon Cauldron, Chen Yuan was even more certain that he had obtained an extraordinary treasure. It's just that he has too few spiritual stones in his hand and he doesn't dare to do other experiments.
"I have now become a monk at the first level of Qi Refining. But what should I do next? Should I go find Xuanyun, join the Qinglan Sect, or..."
"Did you kill this Snow Mountain Wolf King?"
Chen Yuan was thinking about the next step when a voice suddenly came from behind.
After stepping back, Chen Yuan could see clearly that the person who suddenly appeared behind him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing simple clothes.
"Who are you? Why are you suddenly behind me?"
Although he has become a monk, Chen Yuan is only a sixteen-year-old boy who has never left a mountain village. When he sees a strange girl, his first reaction is not only fear but also shyness.
"Who am I? I also want to ask who you are? Why did you kill my Snow Mountain Wolf King?"
The girl put her hands on her hips and thought to herself: "Although this boy can kill the Wolf King, he is still a baby and can still blush. Why don't you let me tease him?"
