Cultivation has no time, and a year has passed since the auction at Lianyun Villa. In addition to normal cultivation and consulting with Chen Guolao on the formation method, Lu Xiaotian spent the rest of his time refining elixirs. The Lingxu Cauldron is indeed the best alchemy furnace that is rumored to be capable of refining Nascent Soul Pill. With the Lingxu Cauldron, Lu Xiaotian's rate of elixir-making has gone one step further. Even the Hundred Poison Pills, which are extremely difficult to refine, have a much higher rate of success.
During this year, the Deputy Yuan Shen spent most of the time deducing formations. The art of formations was indeed obscure and difficult to understand. After deducing the Deputy Yuan Shen for a year, he could only roughly describe the first-level formations among the Five Elements Formations. Understand, but even so, Chen Guolao also marveled at Lu Xiaotian's talent in the formation, asserting that Lu Xiaotian completed the hard work of a formation apprentice in at least four or five years in one year. It's just that Chen Guolao felt that Lu Xiaotian was already very advanced at such a young age, so he didn't persuade Lu Xiaotian to devote all his energy to the formation. He believed that with Lu Xiaotian's cultivation talent, he could definitely try to attack the Golden Pill Avenue. Don't be distracted.
In fact, Lu Xiaotian felt a little ashamed of Chen Guolao's praise. After all, Chen Guolao didn't know that he still had a secondary soul that could constantly deduce and calculate the battles. Ordinary monks, even if the formation master who specializes in formations has a lower level of cultivation, still finds the necessary time to practice throughout the day. To practice, you need to spend spiritual stones and elixirs, and some have to go on adventures in various dangerous places. Moreover, deducing formations is a matter that consumes one's spiritual consciousness. No matter how powerful the formation master is, he cannot persist for too long. Once permanent damage is caused to one's spiritual consciousness, not only will there be no further progress in the formations, but he will also be practicing. Going all the way is tantamount to having no way out.
An ordinary formation master would spend several years deriving formations, which would probably add up to about the same amount of time as Lu Xiaotian. Once Lu Xiaotian's spiritual consciousness is consumed, he can shorten the recovery time by practicing "Mingshen Technique", or take soul-nourishing pills, and the time for insisting on deduction is much longer than that of ordinary formation masters. Once this kind of deduction process is interrupted, it will have to be picked up again later, and it will take a certain amount of time to become familiar with it. Added up, Lu Xiaotian has achieved in one year what Chen Guolao, a veteran who has been immersed in the formation for a long time, can also achieve. It’s no surprise that the results were surprising.
However, Lu Xiaotian knew that his situation was not that he had extraordinary talent in formations, but that he was diligent and used more effort than ordinary people to make up for his shortcomings. But according to Chen Guolao's calculation, he can't be considered bad, just above average. All thanks to the Mysterious Splitting Technique.
Counting down, whether it was fighting or practicing, the dual souls cultivated through the Mystic Splitting Technique had helped him a lot.
The deputy soul is constantly consuming and exercising in the process of repeatedly deducing the formation, and then adds that in this year, the speed of growth seems to be faster than the simple practice of "Mingshen Technique" in the past. This amazing The discovery made Lu Xiaotian feel a little surprised. After these years of cultivation, after his strength improved, he never used the Seven Star Formation again. Coupled with the accelerated growth rate this year, the strength of the deputy soul is not much different from that of the main soul.
Lu Xiaotian held his chin and counted the time. It was time for him to practice the "Mystic Splitting Technique" for the second time and use the God Splitting Blade to cut the soul again and split more consciousness. It's just that he has been quite busy with things at hand during this period. Over the past year, in order to improve his alchemy skills and prepare for the subsequent refining of the Golden Pill, Lu Xiaotian has been refining a large amount of alchemy. At the same time, he also wanted to repay Wang Defeng's favor for helping him. profit. After refining the gold-condensing elixir of the wood type this time, I will no longer take over Wang Defeng's elixir refining work. I will first use the Mystery Splitting Technique to improve my own strength.
With some calculation in mind, Lu Xiaotian took out a wood-type golden fruit, which was not the one he got from the nest of the black wind demon python. It was the alchemy commission that Wang Defeng accepted. Since Wang Defeng became famous at the auction house of Lianyun Villa a year ago, more and more people have come to Wang Defeng to make alchemy. Wang Defeng used this to win over several good alchemists, some relatively ordinary ones. It is enough to hand over the elixirs used in the foundation stage directly to a few alchemists. As for the more difficult ones, they were all brought to Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian received some spiritual objects and just threw them into the barrier and ignored them. His reply to Wang Defeng was that the alchemy failed. After all, no matter how good the alchemist was, he could not guarantee that the alchemy would be successful. It is considered good if it reaches 30%.
There are also some, after Lu Xiaotian cultivated the elixir in the barrier, he could always successfully refine it after several furnaces. The elixir given to Wang Defeng was always between 30% and 40% of the spiritual content.
Even so, the quality and success rate of the elixirs produced by Wang Defeng over the past year have caused quite a stir in Wangyue City. Many people have even become interested in the alchemist behind Wang Defeng. Wang Defeng suddenly became wary of the fear of several other pill shops, and kept everything about Lu Xiaotian secret, lest others come into contact with Lu Xiaotian, cooperate with Lu Xiaotian, and put him aside. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian never had this intention, which made him feel relieved.
Lu Xiaotian used this year to earn a lot of spirit stones. After all, alchemy requires payment, but what he values more than spirit stones is that he has collected all the various auxiliary spiritual objects of the five series of gold-condensing pills. Seventy-seven or eighty-eight. The last time he used the auctioned gold-type gold-condensing pill, he also harvested a water-type gold-condensing fruit.
At this time, he already had three different types of Ningjin Fruit, only the final ones of earth and fire were missing. Give him enough time, and he is confident that he can collect the remaining two series. The feat of gathering five kinds of golden fruits at the same time is probably rare in the entire world of immortality.
This time, the alchemy commission Wang Defeng received was to refine two wood-type gold-condensing pills as much as possible, and the number of gold-condensing fruits provided was four. Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment. He only had four Condensed Gold Fruits, and it was enough to hand over one Condensed Gold Pill. After all, he had to complete two of them, and the 50% rate of pill formation was a bit outrageous, unless the alchemist was extremely lucky. . But luck is such a mysterious thing, who can guarantee that his luck will be good enough?
"It depends on the situation." Lu Xiaotian habitually held the wood-type Ningjin Fruit in his hand, which exuded a burst of dense spiritual energy. He felt the medicinal power in it, and then put several auxiliary medicines into the barrier. Planting inside, including the Nugget Fruit, each prepared thirty copies. After all, refining the Nugget Fruit requires a senior alchemist to refine it, and the most complex pill he has ever refined is Baidu Pill. The Ningjin Fruit is naturally a little worse.
