The sky is bright and clear today, it happens to be market day, and Yunyin Town is crowded with people. Lu Duofu separated his way from the crowd with difficulty, squeezed in front of a stall selling game, and gasped: "Boss, how do you sell Lu Xingdiao's beast elixir?"
The dark and muscular stall owner looked at the thin young man who was not yet fourteen years old, and introduced enthusiastically: "Three hundred cents for a top-grade adult, five hundred cents for a perfect adult. Brother, which one do you want?" "
"It's so expensive. Your color looks a little yellow. Maybe it has been stored for two more days, and the medicinal properties have been lost." As Lu Duofu spoke, he brought the beast pill to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully, for fear that Buy fakes.
The boss's heart skipped a beat. He had met an expert. Unexpectedly, this young man actually knew the properties of the medicine, so he immediately said, "Brother, I was joking. I hurried back after hunting the beast that day. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy fog, which delayed me for a while." It took a lot of time. Although this beast elixir has lost a little of its medicinal properties, the overall preservation is still very good. Is that so? Two hundred and fifty cents for a top grade one, and four hundred cents for a perfect one. What do you think?"
"Here you have six top-grade ones, three of which are perfect. I want them all at one price. I'll take them all for three taels and five cents. How do you like them?"
"That's not possible. The minimum is three to six dollars. Hunting this eagle is not easy."
"Forget it, I'll ask elsewhere." Lu Duofu turned around and left, but heard the boss behind him saying anxiously: "Brother, wait a minute, it's only three to six dollars, you can take it..."
Lu Duofu smiled knowingly. In fact, there was no such thing as Lu Xingdiao's inner elixir anywhere else. He dared to bargain like this, of course he knew the boss's weakness. This beast pill must be stored properly to maintain its medicinal properties. Judging from the boss's appearance, he obviously does not have a suitable container to store these beast pills, so these beast pills will become less valuable as they are stored away.
Although Lu Xingdiao is only a first-level beast, the lowest level among beasts, his strength is equivalent to that of a human warrior in the middle stage of the martial arts realm. The Land Eagle cannot fly, but its body is relatively strong, its feet are as thick as human arms, and its feathers are thick and hard, making it difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate.
This beast is abundant in the misty valley near Yunyin Mountain. According to the master, the Misty Valley is filled with heavy fog all year round, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich, which is several times better than that of Yunyin Mountain. Many sects once wanted to build their base there, but unfortunately they were unable to do anything about the heavy fog and had to give up. These land-walking eagles have absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, so it is no surprise that they have grown strong. In fact, even warriors at the fifth or sixth level of martial arts cannot defeat these Lu Xing Diao under normal circumstances. The main reason is that they can't see their fingers in the heavy fog, but Lu Xing Diao's eyesight is not affected by the fog, so they have to hunt. It is not easy to kill such a beast.
So why did Lu Duofu buy these Lu Xingdiao inner elixirs? The answer is to make alchemy. Lu Xingdiao's meat is woody and hard, with no edible value, but its inner elixir is the main alchemy material for the Body Tempering Pill.
After a warrior's spiritual power increases, his physical body must keep up with the corresponding intensity. Because whether it is the cultivation and use of spiritual power, or the fighting between warriors, it will exert a certain degree of load on the body. If the physical body is not strengthened, spiritual expansion will be harmful to the body. Just like the sea, if the sea is not deep enough or big enough, and there are too many rivers flowing into it, it will fill up sooner or later.
Body Tempering Pill is the only junior elixir that Yunyin Sect can refine by itself. It is the lowest elixir for warriors. It has the effect of tempering the physical body of junior warriors. It is not easy for ordinary Yunyin Sect disciples to obtain it. Because Lu Duofu had the elixir recipe left by Old Man Wen and had learned how to refine it several times from him, he decided to collect the materials himself and refine a batch.
But because the main material, Lu Xing Diao Neidan, is relatively difficult to collect, ordinary hunters would never go to the Misty Valley to hunt such beasts. Lu Duofu searched for several days before he found this medicinal material. Although he got a good deal, he still felt distressed. The money he had saved for several years for his private house was spent at 7788.
Buckwheat, purple and blue flowers, green vine... After visiting the drug store, Lu Duofu completely emptied his pockets, but he finally collected all the alchemy materials.
Back at Yunyao Hall, Lu Duofu was ready to start refining elixirs. It takes seven days from entering the furnace to completing the elixir. There cannot be a cessation of fire in the middle, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted. Lu Duofu greeted Nangong Xiu and the others and devoted himself to alchemy.
Lu Duofu started the alchemy furnace overnight and set up the alchemy cauldron. The stove and tripod were both left behind by Old Man Wen, and Lu Duofu was quite comfortable with them. He is also familiar with alchemy, although he can only refine the lowest level body tempering elixir.
Although he had practiced alchemy several times before, Master Wen's uncle was there at that time, and with his guidance and help, Lu Duofu felt that alchemy was nothing more than that. Now that everything is on his own, Lu Duofu begins to worry, fearing that if he fails to practice, his savings over the past few years will be wiped out.
With three parts of expectation and seven parts of anxiety, Lu Duofu grinded the medicine, lit a fire, put it in the furnace, refined it, added ingredients, refined it again, fused it, condensed the elixir, opened the furnace, and collected the elixir... This whole process requires a little attention first. Fire, then turn to high fire, then medium fire, and finally small fire. The heat should be controlled well and cannot be extinguished.
For a boy of thirteen or fourteen, sitting in front of the stove for seven days was really boring. But Lu Duofu was holding his breath, from grinding the medicine to collecting the elixir, for fear of making any mistakes.
If an ordinary person does not sleep for seven days and seven nights, he will probably die suddenly. Fortunately, Lu Duofu can barely be considered a warrior now. His energy and physical strength are better than ordinary people, and he can restore his physical strength by meditating and returning to his original state. Even so, when it came time to collect the pills after seven days, Lu Duofu could hardly open his eyes.
After collecting the pills, Lu Duofu didn't even have time to test the properties of the medicine, so he fell asleep on the spot. After a day and a night, he got up. Although Lu Duofu had regained most of his energy at this time, he was still looking gray and his whole body exuded a foul odor. He quickly took a shower and changed his clothes before testing the batch of pills.
Lu Duofu opened the medicine jar, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nostrils. Lu Duofu sniffed it carefully, and finally nodded with satisfaction. It's okay. The smell of the medicine is a little lighter than the one made by Master Wen's uncle, probably because the medicinal properties of the animal elixir have been lost, but it's enough.
A total of sixty-one elixirs were produced, eight elixirs were insufficient and became useless elixirs, leaving fifty-three. Lu Duofu didn't keep them all. One person couldn't use so many, so he handed over twenty-three to Nangong Xiu. Of course, when handing it in, Lu Duofu told Nangong Xiu that this was his first attempt and there was not much refining, so he handed it all in.
When he felt refreshed, Lu Duofu began to take and refine the Body Tempering Pill. When refining the elixir, it is enough to refine the Qi, and there is no need for martial arts to assist, so Lu Duofu, who has the pulseless breath, can refine it like ordinary people.
Sit cross-legged and meditate, swallow a body-tempering pill into your belly, and circulate the pulseless breath. Apart from a slight bitter taste in his mouth and a slight burning sensation in his stomach, Lu Duofu felt nothing else. Lu Duofu knew that the medicine was insufficient, so he took another pill, and then another pill...
After the fifth pill, a wave of heat suddenly appeared in the Dantian, spreading to the limbs and veins, and then the whole body became hot. Lu Duofu was overjoyed and was busy using his spiritual power to suppress the heat wave, carefully guiding it to circulate around his body. Wherever the heat wave reaches, there is excruciating pain, and the meridians feel as if they are about to burst.
According to the pharmacopoeia left by Old Man Wen, this was a normal body tempering process, so Lu Duofu did not panic. He was sweating profusely and didn't even bother to wipe it off, he just patiently used his spiritual power. It lasted for more than an hour, until the heat wave completely dissipated, and the hot body cooled down. Lu Duofu felt sticky and uncomfortable. He quickly went to take a shower and found that there was much more dirt on his body than usual, and the smell was extremely fishy. This body tempering pill can also temper the impurities in the body out of the body...
My whole body feels comfortable, like a spring breeze, and even my breathing feels much smoother than before. Lu Duofu counted the remaining body tempering pills with a smile on his face. There were twenty-five pills left. These are all treasures...
With the first experience, the second tempering went more smoothly, and then the third and fourth times. Each time he used more body tempering pills than the previous time. After the fourth time, Lu Duofu's sweat became much cleaner, and he could no longer remove any dirt after bathing.
After taking the Body Tempering Pill and working hard every day, Lu Duofu felt that his physical strength had significantly improved, both in terms of strength and physical strength. And his cultivation level has also risen with the tide, and his progress has been obvious.
Within two months, Lu Duofu used the Body Tempering Pill to temper his body four times, but it had no effect after that. What Lu Duofu didn't know was that he had already reached the third level of martial arts cultivation. Afterwards, without the aid of elixirs, and he had no suitable exercises to strengthen his physical body, his cultivation also slowed down.
In the past, it was not difficult for warriors to reach the Martial Master Realm. Depending on their respective qualifications and opportunities, it was only a matter of time to reach it. It is not easy to reach the Martial Master realm. It does not require hard work. However, the realm above the Martial Master is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. It is the lifelong pursuit of countless warriors. As strong as Nangong Xiu, the leader of a sect has also been stuck at the ninth level of the Martial Lord Realm for several years. Despite this, Lu Duofu's two small realms in two months are considered fast, at least in a small sect like Yunyin Sect.
Of course, Lu Duofu didn't know what state he was in now. You must know that the perception of the level of spiritual power, whether it is for others or for oneself, requires a warrior to practice to a certain extent before he can distinguish it with his own spiritual sense. It's like a carpenter. If he's an apprentice and you give him a stick, he won't be able to tell how long the stick is without a measuring ruler. But if he's a master craftsman, he can tell exactly how long it is just by making gestures with his bare hands. The length of the stick.
Spiritual awareness can generally only be generated after entering the Martial Master Realm. However, spiritual awareness does not work all the time. If the difference between the realms of the two parties is too far, the weak Party B may not be able to detect the specific cultivation realm of the other party. There are also people who practice special skills and are very good at hiding their aura, making it difficult for others to detect their cultivation.
In any case, Lu Duofu is satisfied with the current situation. It is better to practice slower than unable to practice.
