Early the next morning, Luo Chen put on the white fox fur coat from last year, put his hands in his pockets early in the morning, and patrolled his territory.
Winter has completely entered, and heavy snow is falling.
In Xianyue Valley, there is snow everywhere.
From a distance, Luo Chen saw a little kid building a snowman in front of the door.
Luo Chen walked over to take a look and couldn't help laughing.
"So ugly!"
Qu Lingjun tilted his head and rushed into the house without saying a word.
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, that's not it!
I gave you pills yesterday, why are you so rude today!
But the next moment, he saw Qu Lingjun's small flowerpot running out.
"President, President, this is my birthday gift to you!"
Looking at the plant in the flowerpot that has just sprouted.
Luo Chen opened his mouth, is it my birthday?
Qu Lingjun proudly showed off: "This is a soul-nurturing tree. The seeds were the ones you gave me casually before. I used the blood of some monsters that my uncles didn't want and cultivated it for a while before I got it."
"How about it, I'm awesome!"
Luo Chen pinched his little face with baby fat, smiled and scolded: "It's been a long time, but you are borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"
"hey-hey!"
Qu Lingjun smiled naively, then straightened his chest, "Ordinary people can't grow this soul-nurturing tree."
Indeed, the soul-nurturing tree is difficult to maintain.
But it is not difficult to cultivate.
Difficulty in cultivating is reflected in the fact that a soul-nurturing tree takes thousands of years to grow from taking root to being usable.
The seeds of this soul-nurturing tree were given to him by Feng Xia on his birthday last year.
It was kept in the storage bag and Luo Chen didn't care.
I had watched Qu Lingjun recite and understand the "Baicao Atlas" before, so I simply gave it to him and let him use it to practice.
Unexpectedly, he actually raised it.
"Okay, I already know you raised it. Don't give it to me. You can raise it for me first, and then give it to me when you grow up!"
"Uh-huh."
Qu Lingjun nodded quickly and carefully took the flower pot back.
Luo Chen lowered his body, picked up a handful of snow, and began to repair the ugly little snowman.
After a while, Qu Lingjun also joined in.
"Who is this snowman? Why does he have a beard?"
"It's my dad! His beard is very stiff and prickly, so I glued it on with pig hair to serve as a beard."
"Then didn't you call your father a pig?"
"He is really stupid. He is not as smart as my mother... No, no, my father is not so handsome. I am more like my mother."
As they piled up, Qu Lingjun's nose turned red.
He raised his head, looked at Luo Chen, and sobbed.
"President, I miss my father and mother."
Luo Chen pursed his lips and gently rubbed the little boy's hair.
One big and one small stood in the wind and snow and built an ugly snowman.
…
"Ghost general?"
In the Haoyue Hall, everyone gathered around the stove to warm themselves up.
Luo Chen was surprised to hear the news from Zeng Wen.
Zeng Wen was surprised, "Yes, no one expected that ghosts at the level of ghost generals would appear in the ghost city. The Nangong family who rushed forward suffered heavy losses this time!"
There are many categories of Yin ghosts.
Those who transform from Yin Qi into spirits, those who fall from the path and turn to the ghost path, those who die in Yin evil places and become powerful ghosts, and even the most classic zombies can all be counted as ghosts.
The classification criteria are not conventional Qi refining and foundation building.
But ghost soldiers, ghost generals, and ghost kings.
The reason for this division is that the upper-level Yin ghosts will naturally suppress the lower-level Yin ghosts.
It is as powerful as the Ghost King, and can even turn an entire place into ghosts.
All the ghost cultivators in it will be controlled by the ghost king while receiving buffs.
The battle in the inner city of Dahefang broke out at noon. There were many monks inside, at least five thousand in number!
After the outbreak, some people died on the spot, and some were trapped inside by the formation activated by the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion.
Only a handful of lucky people managed to escape in the first place.
When the war ended, the three ghost kings were defeated by Pang Renxiong, the golden elixir sword cultivator.
The essence of ghost energy accumulated over hundreds of years shrouded the inner city on the spot, completely turning it into a ghost.
If this is all, you only need to wait for the arrival of the big sects to eliminate the ghost energy, and then you can repeat the righteous path of heaven and earth.
However, three months have passed and the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect has not been seen.
On the contrary, now there is a ghost general level existence in that ghost city!
Although the ghost general cannot control a ghost like the ghost king.
But some intelligence has been born, and some of the behavioral habits of his lifetime have been retained.
In addition, being among the ghosts, the combat power increases greatly.
Compared with the foundation-building monks, I don’t know which one is higher or lower.
But the monks in the Qi refining stage are absolutely irresistible.
"Where did it appear?" Luo Chen asked curiously.
Zeng Wen said energetically: "It is said that in the area of Baishi Square, the Nangong family was the deepest and wanted to enter the Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion in advance."
"As a result, I just arrived at Baishi Square and met the ghost general."
"Tsk, tsk, that's terrible! Nine of the ten late-stage Qi Refining monks from the Nangong family died on the spot."
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, "Nine?"
"Yes, only Nangong Qin survived." When Zeng Wen said this, he glanced at Qin Liangchen who was drinking. "His boy is lucky. He has a treasure against Yin ghosts and a magic weapon given by Ji Zhu's father."
"With the delay of nine people, they activated the magic weapon and escaped from the Baishi Square in embarrassment."
Murong Qinglian felt regretful after hearing this result.
The old Qin family still remembers Nangong Qin's revenge for leading people to surround and kill Qin Liangchen.
Qin Liangchen was noncommittal and did not express any opinion.
"Here, here it is."
Hearing a voice, Luo Chen smiled and took a handful of peeled hazelnut kernels from Gu Caiyi's hand.
After swallowing the jujube into his mouth, Luo Chen asked vaguely:
"The Nangong family probably won't tell anyone about this kind of thing!"
"How come you spoke in such detail, as if you were watching it in person?"
Zeng Wen smiled and said, "I wasn't there, but someone from the Li family was!"
"Li family?"
"Yes, Li Ao led the team to the outside of Baishi Square and witnessed this scene with his own eyes using the Qingying lantern weapon."
Did the Li family also send people to explore the ghost town?
Luo Chen was thoughtful.
It seems that during this period, the focus of all major forces has been placed in the ghost city.
That's right, there are a lot of resources left inside, and if you can transport some of them out, it will be faster and more abundant than working hard.
Not much else to say, Luo Chen especially wanted to search for Xianzhuju.
As an industry in Ailao Mountain, the various spiritual materials in Xianzhuju are all hard currency.
Especially the Earth Fire Evil!
Zeng asked next to him, still talking eloquently about his experiences in the ghost town.
These were all what he learned from other customers when he was working in Jintang.
The monks of the Li family witnessed the Nangong family's disastrous defeat and made a big publicity after coming out.
The purpose is nothing more than to attack the Nangong family, a foreign cultivating immortal family.
After all, when the two families competed for the Poshan Gang's Beast Hall resources, they caused a lot of trouble.
In Zeng Wen's story, everyone gradually understood the current situation in the ghost town.
The most dangerous thing is the area in White Rock Square.
There is a ghost general roaming around, and no one can enter safely.
But outside the scope of Baishi Square, the ghost general will no longer pursue him.
That's why Nangong Qin and the monks from the Li family were able to leave with luck.
The shops of the Five Outer Domain Sects have long been empty.
Of the various treasures inside, those that could be taken away were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were destroyed.
As for the shops of some small sects in the local area, they are more or less protected by formations.
All of a sudden, all the major forces were thinking of ways to crack it.
When Luo Chen mentioned the formation, he thought of the character Min Longyu.
This person seems to belong to the Dajiang Gang, but in fact he should be a monk from the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.
Very good at formations!
Even when fighting, they often use formations to fight the enemy.
If Lian Yun Merchant Alliance is also interested in exploring the inner city, as long as they send Min Longyu, their harvest will be far greater than anyone else's.
"It would be great if we, Luo Tianhui, also have such a person who is good at formations."
Luo Chen thought with regret.
Luo Tianhui still has too few talents, and most of them are production monks and combat monks.
These production monks are not just freeloaders, they are all playing their respective roles.
The spiritual rice planted before has grown quite vigorously under the leadership of Yuan Dongsheng.
Next year, maybe we can harvest a small crop.
The rest of the medicinal materials also benefited from the burst of spiritual energy in the inner city and the scattered spiritual energy, allowing some medicinal materials to grow well.
Even when winter comes, we must maintain a spring-like formation all year round, which consumes a lot of money.
But the things produced by monks also need someone to protect them.
What if someone else takes it away?
Fighting monks may be able to stand alone.
But if fighting does break out and spreads, these crops will probably be lost in a bamboo basket.
In comparison, formation cultivators like Min Longyu are very useful.
With such a person presiding over the Small Five Elements Formation, as long as the foundation is not taken action, the crops grown in Xianyue Valley will be safe.
It's a pity that Luo Tianhui doesn't have it.
The only one who understands the point formation method is Duan Feng.
But most of the formations he knows are related to the casting of magic weapons, and they are all small formations.
In addition to practicing recently, I have been busy taking care of apprentices.
He planned to bring out a group of weapon casting apprentices and set up a weapon hall according to Luo Chen's previous plan.
"If we want to develop Luo Tianhui, we still have a long way to go!"
Luo Chen shook his head and continued chatting with everyone.
The topic gradually shifted from what he saw in Dahefang to his practice.
Everyone in the hall was basically a ninth-level Qi Refining monk.
Except for people like Zeng Wen and Granny Yuan who have long been pessimistic about it, most of them still have a glimmer of hope in foundation building.
Under the chairmanship of Luo Chen, everyone talked about the problems encountered in practice, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
Luo Chen also benefited a lot from other people's cultivation experiences.
Perhaps just one or two points of understanding can save him from taking many detours in his practice.
This tea party lasted until the evening, and everyone gradually dispersed.
After everyone went back to their respective homes, Luo Chen returned to the alchemy room.
There is no alchemy in the alchemy hall today, so everyone has a holiday.
Luo Chen rested for a day, and the slight damage to his meridians that he had suffered before was restored to its original state under the conditioning of the pulse-replenishing liquid.
Plus a day of joking and chatting, and the state has reached its peak.
"Let's try a furnace of blood-burning pills first!"
Yesterday's series of failures was quite shocking.
Luo Chen planned to refine the ignited blood elixir first, not only to give himself more confidence, but also to prepare some goods for the next meeting with Tian Xingzi.
Before taking action, Luo Chen glanced at the attribute panel.
[Introduction to Burning Blood Pill 97/100]
As long as you succeed in one more furnace, you can be promoted to the proficient level.
At that time, the elixir formation rate can be increased from 10% to 20%.
It can be considered a small breakthrough.
"I have accumulated several failures before. This time, I am refining four raw materials at the same time. How can I succeed in one!"
Now Luo Chen has a very clear understanding of this system.
The so-called probability is not as simple as it seems.
For example, in the entry-level period, it seems that you will definitely succeed once in ten times.
actually not!
If you don't concentrate carefully and try your best every time you make an elixir, you may fail within ten times.
On the contrary, if you prepare properly and master the alchemy formulas, alchemy techniques, and various techniques, you will be proficient enough.
It’s also possible to do it right the first time!
The first time he refined the Blood Burning Pill was a good example.
Instead of experiencing many failures, I succeeded the first time.
Young man, every time you make an elixir, you must go all out!
In this way, there is a chance of guarantee!
Luo Chen silently cheered himself up, and then added a piece of green grass demon into the fire pit.
Using this monster body as elixir fire can increase the number of elixirs produced.
There's no reason for him not to use it.
Before formally refining the elixir, he looked solemn and mobilized the spiritual power in his body to stimulate the eighteen acupuncture points in his body in sequence.
"Um……"
There was a muffled groan, and Luo Chen took a deep breath to suppress the pain caused by the God of Destruction.
He needs this pain!
Not to refine the blood-burning pill, but to get familiar with this feeling.
Because, when the Tongyou Pill is refined later, Mingshen Posha may be able to resist the psychedelic power brought by the blood of the snow fox demon.
This was some inspiration he got while communicating with friends today.
Pain may help people wake up from their hallucinations.
And if you maintain pain all the time, you will most likely not fall into that kind of trance hallucination.
After making preliminary preparations, Luo Chen put in the medicinal materials one by one.
Afterwards, the alchemy process of Burning Blood Pill began.
Luo Chen is already familiar with all this.
About two hours later, Luo Chen put away the fourteen blood-burning pills with satisfaction.
Although it is of low quality, the rate of elixir formation is two out of four.
The proficiency of the Burning Blood Pill has also reached the proficiency level.
Not only that, the achievement points lost from the previous introduction to Tongyou Dan also increased by one.
Nowadays, the number of achievement points.
After the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Eye Technique, Earth Moon Technique, and Wave Technique were all advanced to the perfect level, and the Blood Burning Pill was promoted to the proficient level, four more were added.
28 achievement points!
While resting, Luo Chen looked at these achievement points and couldn't help but feel an impulse.
If I put all these achievement points into those two complete second-level elixir recipes, I wonder if I can get started?
The reason for this eagerness to try is mainly because there is no first-order elixir in hand.
There are only three second-level elixir recipes left: Jade Dew Pill, Blood Evil Pill, and Emperor's Liquid Liquid.
Among them, he is the most confident about the Blood Evil Pill.
Unfortunately, the main material is lacking.
Even if you get started, you won't be able to refine it for the time being.
Jade Dew Pill has the greatest value!
But it is incomplete, and the achievement points required to deduce and complete it may be an unimaginably huge number.
"Emperor's liquid..."
Luo Chen shook his head, not yet reaching this point.
After he reaches the foundation building stage, he won't need to spend too many achievement points whether it's entry or derivation.
Because at that time, it was the corresponding realm, and the achievement points required to get started were no different from the first-level elixir recipe now.
After a brief rest, Luo Chen stood up and stepped into another alchemy room.
Looking at the bronze cauldron, Luo Chen smiled slightly.
"Although the divine wood cauldron is only a first-level mid-grade, it has additional benefits for refining plant elixirs."
"Tongyou Pill has two main ingredients, one of which is Huanyou Grass."
"It should also be effective."
This time, he gave up the Four Elephant Cauldron and chose the lower-grade Divine Wood Cauldron with special benefits.
Hope it works!
Ming Shen broke the evil and started to move, and the severe pain reappeared.
Luo Chen's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel anything, and he put in the raw materials one by one.
After a long time.
Luo Chen walked out of the alchemy room with a calm expression.
Failed!
As expected.
He is not angry. The recipe for Tongyou Dan is also incomplete, but he completed it himself.
Force entry through the system.
All failures are forgivable.
In this failure, it was confirmed that Ming Shen Po Sha has a significant resistance effect on the hallucination of the snow fox demon blood.
This, on the contrary, is the biggest gain.
"Next time, we will definitely make it!"
…
The next time, there was no success either.
It was not until five days later that Luo Chen stopped refining the Chalcedony Pill and spent a whole day refining the Tongyou Pill alone, and finally succeeded once.
"It took nine times to usher in a good harvest!"
Luo Chen looked at the three pills in his hand that were as white as ice and snow, feeling extremely emotional.
Three, only three!
Even though Luo Chen had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear it.
He knew that in addition to the main materials of Tongyou Pill, half of the auxiliary materials were missing. He spent a lot of time to complete them.
He also knows that there is no second-level elixir recipe such as the Blood Demon Pill, and the complete elixir recipe may be inherently deficient.
But he didn't expect that the number of completed pills would be so small.
"The cost of one raw material is as high as fifteen pieces of spiritual stones, which is far more than the eleven pieces of blood-burning pills and five pieces of chalcedony pills."
"In the end, there were only three."
"If we don't spread it out and calculate it based on the actual total consumption cost, wouldn't it mean that we need one hundred and fifty spiritual stones ten times to get three first-level low-grade Tongyou Pills?"
This data once again made Luo Chen unable to hold back.
He had never been so prodigal.
"I want to see what incredible effects you have!"
Holding three snow-white pills in his palm, Luo Chen entered the Spirit Vein Cave.
…
He was full of energy and there were no injuries around him.
Luo Chen took a deep breath and swallowed the snow-white pill resolutely.
Luo Chen did not dare to take the blood-burning pill with cruel medicinal properties after it was refined.
Because he knew the direction of the medicinal properties, he needed to test the elixir.
But the medicinal properties of Tongyou Pill are to increase the foundation of the soul.
The cost was so high that he was reluctant to find small animals to test the elixir.
In that case, why not experience it for yourself!
The elixir enters the body and then melts in the mouth.
An icy cold feeling went straight to Tianling Gai.
Luo Chen couldn't help but shiver from the cold.
During this tremor, his consciousness fell into a trance.
…
In a kitchen full of smoke and smoke, a young man was lying on the eaves of the stove, holding a large handful of black medicinal residue, looking crazy.
"fail?"
"fail!"
"Why, it still failed!"
"I spent all my money to get these ten raw materials together, but now I still can't succeed."
"Don't I have the talent for alchemy?"
"No, I don't believe it. There are still three raw materials left. I can definitely succeed."
The young man put away the medicine residue and went to the stream to clean the iron pot.
He practices spells, exercises, and constantly adjusts his state.
On the second day, continue to refine Zhongmiao Pills.
fail!
On the third day, still failed!
And on the fourth day, it was the last piece of raw material.
He held all expectations and made a desperate move with the most focused and even fanatical mentality.
at last……
"It still failed."
The young man opened his mouth, and there was a choking sound in his voice as he talked to himself.
Fifty spiritual stones were all his wealth.
In order to refine Zhongmiaowan, everyone invested in it.
However, one elixir was not completed, which meant that he had lost everything he had accumulated over the years.
After all, it is all in vain!
So where should we go next?
Luo Chen looked around and saw that his family was in ruins. Not even half a catty of spiritual rice was left in the rice vat.
"Perhaps I am not born to make alchemy!"
"Shouldn't I have this dream of becoming an alchemist and living a life where I don't have to worry about spiritual stones anymore?"
He fell into deep self-doubt.
Sitting in the kitchen, letting the smell of failure spread throughout his body, as if he was also a loser.
I do not know how long it has been.
At dawn, he stood up slowly.
Luo Chen took a look at the situation at home, then poured out the medicine residue and tidied up the kitchen.
After briefly washing up, he left the house and went to the outer city.
We came to a group of buildings with beautiful mountains and clear waters and bamboo buildings.
"Who is coming?"
"Sanxiu Luochen wants to join the Broken Mountain Gang."
