Chapter 584
The old man shook his head: "I am not short of star stones."
Xiao Zhan was a little surprised. The old man who ran a street stall in Xingkongfang City said that he was not short of star stones.
This is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and asked again:
"Senior, what kind of treasure do you want? Is it medicinal materials, materials for weapon refining, or weapons or something like that."
"The elixir is the best," the old man stared at Xiao Zhan with his gray eyes, "but it can only be the elixir I designated. If not, use a weapon to replace it."
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, "What kind of elixir?"
"Nirvana Pill," a name the old man said casually made Xiao Zhan frown.
Seeing Xiao Zhan deep in thought, the old man's gray eyes suddenly shone with a strange light.
"Do you know the Nirvana Pill?"
Xiao Zhan said "Yeah". He had indeed seen the description of Nirvana Pill in the "Hundred Herbs Classic".
It was precisely because of understanding that Xiao Zhan frowned.
Because the Nirvana Pill is an extremely difficult pill to successfully refine.
First of all, the medicinal materials required for the Nirvana Pill are extremely complex and extremely precious, especially the Phoenix Essence and Blood, which is legendary.
At least in the Baicao World, no one has refined the Nirvana Pill for hundreds of thousands of years.
Because there is simply no way to gather the materials to refine the Nirvana Pill.
Secondly, the temperature required for refining the Nirvana Pill is extremely high, and ordinary pill furnaces simply cannot withstand it.
Also, the alchemist who refines the Nirvana Pill must have extremely high attainments.
The Nirvana Pill has only one effect, which is to destroy all the strength of the user, and then allow the user to start practicing from scratch at an extremely fast speed.
Those who need to take the Nirvana Pill usually encounter a bottleneck and know that they cannot make any progress in this life, so they choose to start over.
Such people are all people with great perseverance.
Xiao Zhan clasped his fists at the old man in front of him to express his admiration.
The old man seemed to know what Xiao Zhan was thinking, nodded and said:
"The Nirvana Pill is hard to come by, so you'd better exchange it for a magical weapon..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Xiao Zhan asked:
"Senior, do you have the materials to refine the Nirvana Pill?"
At this moment, a look of astonishment finally flashed across the old man's face.
He pushed aside the messy white hair covering his old face and asked extremely seriously:
"Do you know how to refine the Nirvana Pill?"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
The old man became excited instantly:
"I have all the ingredients!"
"Who are you looking for to help me refine it?"
Xiao Zhan's face turned serious, "Senior, if I say that I will refine it myself, it may fail. Are you still willing to hand over the medicinal materials to me for refining?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, lost in thought.
It took him more than a hundred years and exhausted countless star stones to collect all the materials for refining the Nirvana Pill.
If he failed this time, he would never be able to collect so many materials in his life.
He looked at Xiao Zhan, sighed and said:
"Over the years, I have also tried to refine it myself, but I don't have the talent in this area, so I can only refine some basic elixirs."
"Forget it, I'll let you try it. Even if the materials are destroyed, I don't want you to compensate."
"However, if you fail to refine it, I will not tell you the place that contains the rules of time and space."
Xiao Zhan nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked:
"Senior, do you know that a strong man above the Star Source Realm came to Xingkongfang City and kidnapped a young man named Chen Liang?"
The old man gave Xiao Zhan a meaningful look, "It is true that he is above the Star Source Realm, but it is just like that. I can easily crush him to death."
"You are the person he is looking for, right? If you succeed, help me
After refining the Nirvana Pill, I will not only tell you the place that contains the rules of time and space, but also help you deal with that person. "
"Senior can crush a strong man above the Star Source Realm to death with ease?" Xiao Zhan took a deep look at the old man, clasped his fists again and said:
"I don't think senior is someone who can brag."
The old man said "Yes", "That boy named Chen Liang is still alive."
Xiao Zhan now has no information channel, so he can only choose to believe the old man's words.
The old man stood up slowly and said to Xiao Zhan:
"Let's go, I'll take you to get the medicinal materials needed to refine the Nirvana Pill."
Except for Ye Fan and Shi Hao, this old man is probably the most real strong person Xiao Zhan has come into contact with now.
The power of Ye Fan and Shi Hao was beyond recognition. No matter how much they thought about it, they could not imagine how powerful the other party was.
And the strength of this old man can be seen.
His strength not only surpasses the Star Source Realm, he is also a master of weapon refining, and he also knows some alchemy techniques. For example, the starship that Xiao Zhan and the old man are riding on was refined by the old man himself.
Apart from the space-time shuttle and the starry sky battleship made by Wuzhou World, this is the first time Xiao Zhan has seen this style of starship.
The hull is made of a black metal material, which is extremely hard, and its speed is much faster than ordinary star shuttles.
According to what the old man said, ordinary starry sky shuttles are designed in a closed style to resist the pressure in the starry sky and to guard against possible starry sky beasts.
And the starship he designed and built himself can be designed as an open type because of the blessing of the formation.
For example, at this time, the two of them were standing on the bow of the starship.
This is also Xiao Zhan's first official exposure to the concept of "formation".
In short, Xiao Zhan came into contact with many new things that he had never been exposed to before during his conversation with the old man.
Through conversation, Xiao Zhan learned that the old man's name was Ying Wuji.
Not surprisingly, he comes from an advanced world in this starry sky.
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and asked for advice:
"Senior Ying Wuji, what is the realm above the Star Source Realm?"
Ying Wuji slowly shook his head: "Realm is just a title, it's all artificially named."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Ying Wuji's serious and old face:
"You remember anyway, those who are stronger than you are called seniors, and those who are weaker than you are called juniors, that's it."
Xiao Zhan didn't expect that Ying Wuji would give such an answer.
After smiling, Xiao Zhan asked again:
"Senior, can you tell me about the formation?"
Ying Wuji seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at the deep starry sky in front of him and slowly said:
"Alchemy refining, weapon refining, formation formation, and even talisman refining, body refining...etc., these are all human beings in certain worlds, in order to survive, through countless years of observation, summary and exploration over the long years. The system was just created.”
"These systems have passed the test of time and proved that they can be passed down. Only then have they slowly emerged from one world to another and been learned and used by countless people in the starry sky."
"I don't know anything else, but the formation comes from a low-level world called Qianyuan."
Speaking of this, Ying Wuji suddenly paused and asked with a smile: "Are you surprised that a low-level world can actually create a formation?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I'm not surprised."
Ying Wuji was stunned, "Why aren't you surprised?"
Xiao Zhan slowly said:
"It is undeniable that the strong have greater creativity, but the weak also have unlimited possibilities."
"Who stipulates that the low-level world cannot create some high-level things?"
Ying Wuji nodded in agreement and continued:
"The Qianyuan world is a recognized world of formations. Unfortunately, it is still a low-level world. After the formations spread together, the stars in the sky
People's understanding and creation of formations have far exceeded the level of formations in the Qianyuan world. "
Xiao Zhan nodded without interrupting Ying Wuji's words.
Ying Wuji sighed softly:
"Actually, the formation is not that complicated."
"In fact, it is to use the energy in the surrounding environment and use certain items as carriers to achieve a certain purpose."
"For example, the illusion array actually uses the energy in the environment, such as sound, light, water, fire and other things, to create some kind of illusion and make people fall into it."
"Another example is the attack formation."
"The principles are pretty much the same."
"However, some advanced formations also require the assistance of some special materials. After the layout is completed, they will be extremely powerful."
Seeing Xiao Zhan listening to him seriously, Ying Wuji continued:
"I once saw a formation that enveloped the entire world, forming a shield with extremely strong defense."
"In the advanced world, some big forces will also establish offensive and defensive formations in their own bases."
"It's like putting on armor, it's very effective."
"But the space for development of the formation is far more than this."
"The senior who taught me the formation once said that even the entire starry sky can be seen as a huge formation."
"This formation, based on the power of rules, builds the framework of the starry sky and maintains the balance and stability of the starry sky."
Xiao Zhan suddenly looked startled!
If the entire starry sky is really a huge formation system, then... could the huge map Shi Hao gave him be the core of this formation?
Just listen to Ying Wuji say: "All formations have a formation eye, which is the control core of the formation."
There seemed to be a muffled thunder flashing through Xiao Zhan's head, which shocked Xiao Zhan's heart.
Seeing something was wrong with Xiao Zhan, Ying Wuji frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and said with a joking tone:
"If the starry sky is really a huge formation, then if I get the formation's eye, wouldn't I be able to control the entire starry sky?"
Ying Wuji's gray-white eyes actually showed a look similar to "You are just talking nonsense."
"We're here," Ying Wuji suddenly looked at a dark red planet that appeared in front of him.
The starship landed on a dark red plain.
Ying Wuji looked around, quickly locked on a certain location, and controlled the starship to fly in that direction.
On this planet, there are no mountains, no rivers, no plants, no creatures, just the endless dark red land.
When the starship stopped somewhere, Xiao Zhan couldn't see any reference at all, and he didn't know how Ying Wuji was sure that his things were hidden here.
Ying Wuji raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
A big crater was instantly blasted out of the ground.
Ying Wuji closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then slapped a palm towards the other side.
A dark box flew out instantly and was caught by Ying Wuji.
The material used in this box should be the same material as Ying Wuji's starship, which is extremely hard.
Ying Wuji opened the box and revealed the small wooden boxes inside.
Seeing that there were a lot of these things, Ying Wuji couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although he is a strong person above the Star Source Realm, he is still very nervous when facing these extremely difficult to find materials.
"This is Phoenix blood essence!" Ying Wuji carefully picked up a green jade bottle with a drop of golden blood in it.
Seeing Xiao Zhan frowning slightly, Ying Wuji also lost his mind, "Is there any problem?"
Not sure if he was still confused, Xiao Zhan asked out of nowhere:
"How old is this drop of Phoenix blood? Has it expired?"
After saying this, Xiao Zhan himself was stunned. He didn't understand why he asked
Such a stupid question.
Phoenix essence and blood are a treasure, so how can there be such a thing as expiry?
But Ying Wuji fell into deep thought, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
"This drop of phoenix blood essence was taken in a very large Xingkongfang City at a cost of more than 10 million star stones."
"I don't know how much medicine is left."
Having said this, Ying Wuji looked at Xiao Zhan seriously:
"You can refine it with confidence. If it fails, I won't blame you."
"Do you need anything else? Do you have an alchemy furnace?"
