Hearing this, Li Mobai couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked up at her, and then said: "Senior brother is not as talented as you. It took nearly six years to break through the third-level alchemy to the fourth level. Your senior brother Xiaoyao is more talented, but he also uses It took four years.”
"So don't be impatient. You only have less than a year. No matter how talented you are, you won't be able to do it in such a short time."
"I heard from the master that it took him almost two years to advance to the intermediate level of alchemy."
Before the fourth level of alchemy, there are low-level alchemy, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels are intermediate alchemy, and after that, there are high-level alchemy.
Breaking through one level after another is no easier than cultivation, and will become increasingly difficult.
Ruan Li heard the words and said: "I know, it's just that the master said that I am more talented than Senior Brother Xiaoyao, and I spent almost every day refining alchemy during that year of confinement, and the time it took should be several times that of others, so the breakthrough There’s nothing wrong with going faster.”
"I really feel that my third-level elixir is very full now, but I just can't break through."
Hearing what she said, Li Mobai couldn't help but put down the pen and paper in his hand and started thinking seriously.
In the end, he shook his head and said, "You should ask your senior brother Xiaoyao about this. He should be able to give you some advice."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Li pushed all the elixirs in front of Li Mobai, turned around and ran out: "Then I'll go now!"
Seeing this, Li Mobai just shook his head helplessly and smiled.
Behind Shennong Hall, there is Lingzhi Garden.
Ruan Li searched for a long time before he found Ning Xiaoyao here. Looking at him from a distance, he was watering the spiritual plants. Ruan Li hid in the shade under the exquisite banana leaves and waved to him.
When Ning Xiaoyao saw that it was her junior sister who was coming, she quickly put down the bucket and ladle in her hands and flew out.
Wearing a linen green shirt with the trousers rolled up loosely, and straw sandals made of rattan rope, Ning Xiaoyao's appearance is slovenly, but there is no mud on her body, and she is very clean.
"Why are you here, junior sister? Senior brother Mo Bai asked you to water the spiritual plants?" Ning Xiaoyao asked jokingly.
Ruan Li smiled and shook his head. She had not been to the Spirit Planting Garden for a long time, because she was different from other Shennong Hall disciples who devoted most of their energy to alchemy, but because she had awakened her top qualifications and needed to put cultivation first.
Therefore, she only did the work of watering the spiritual plant garden a few times when she first entered Shennong Hall.
Ruan Li told Ning Xiaoyao about the inability to break through the alchemy veins. When Ning Xiaoyao heard that his junior sister was asking him for advice, he showed a rare serious expression: "If you feel that the alchemy veins are full, it stands to reason that It’s said to be a precursor to a breakthrough. If you can’t break through, you may need an opportunity.”
"Opportunity?" Ruan Li asked shamelessly: "Senior brother, please tell me clearly, what kind of opportunity is it?"
Ning Xiaoyao explained: "This is an opportunity to refine elixirs. The elixirs that can be refined with the third-level elixirs are relatively limited, but there are actually some elixirs that are very difficult to refine. If junior sister feels that she has been unable to break through, it is better to try to refine these elixirs. The elixir may help you break through the bottleneck."
When Ruan Li heard the words, he couldn't help but frown and thought for a moment, seeming to understand some of the principles.
Ning Xiaoyao added: "However, the materials required for those elixirs are more complicated, and Shennong Hall may not have all of them. Junior sister can go to Yunzuo Shanfang to have a look, and you can first select the materials to refine the elixirs collected."
Ning Xiaoyao is recognized as the most talented disciple among the younger generation of Shennong Hall. He has rich experience, so his opinions must have some truth.
Ruan Li immediately nodded and thanked him, turned around and went to Yunzuo Mountain House again.
The Yunzuo Shanfang of Shennongtang is similar to various Zhaiges for storing books. What is summarized here are the various elixirs of Shennongtang.
The person in charge of Yunzuo Mountain House is the uncle of Shennong Hall, named Ye Chunchi.
"You girl, you have time to come to the mountain house to read?" Ye Chunchi couldn't help but smile kindly when he saw Ruan Li.
The two didn't have much interaction with each other, but when they first learned that there was a female disciple in the hall, Ye Chunchi went to take a look out of curiosity, so he recognized Ruan Li.
Ruan Li respectfully called for someone, and then explained his intention.
Ye Chunchi stroked his beard and nodded, then went to find a book of elixirs and handed it to Ruan Li: "Take a look at this book."
Ruan Li sat on the floor and read through it, and found that the elixir prescription contained basically all elixirs that could be refined by third-level elixirs, but they were much more complex and cumbersome than other lower-grade elixirs, and even some elixirs required materials such as spiritual plants. Up to a dozen species.
I think this is the low-grade elixir that Senior Brother Xiaoyao said.
"Uncle Master, I'll take it back and study it." Ruan Li raised the elixir in his hand.
Ye Chunchi smiled and said: "Just remember to come back."
Returning to Jingxin Garden, Ruan Li classified the elixirs in the book one by one. The most preferred ones were the elixirs that allowed her to find the materials.
"Are you feeling bored and suddenly focused on the pills?"
Fangze was floating in the air, watching Ruan Li working attentively for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
Ruan Li responded without raising his head: "Alchemy is a concurrent practice. It's rare to have such a free opportunity."
After saying that, Ruan Li raised his head and looked at Fangze: "After the head master and the others come out of seclusion, I will hand over the spirit-gathering bottle to absorb the river beads. I must be fully focused and not distracted."
Fangze's handsome eyebrows raised, but he didn't have any objection.
I just feel tired for Ruan Li. The higher the talent, the greater the pressure and the heavier the responsibility in such a large sect.
She had just manifested her immortal destiny, and she had to take care of all the ways of cultivation.
Whether it's alchemy, talisman writing, or other skills, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to have a chance to breathe.
But Ruan Li never complained and never slacked off.
So sometimes Fangze feels proud when looking at the host he has chosen.
He was busy until the sky started to sink, and candles were lit in the room. Ruan Li looked at the Danfang spread out on the table and sighed.
"We don't have all the materials together. Every kind of elixir has at least one or two kinds of spiritual plants that need to be found outside." Ruan Li was a little helpless.
Without the materials, she couldn't make the elixir.
And now, she was explicitly prohibited from going down the mountain by Senior Sister Nan Ge.
"There is no hurry." Fangze floated to the table and sat cross-legged: "Don't forget what the old man said, everything should be allowed to take its course, and don't rush for quick success, this is a taboo!"
Ruan Li nodded lightly. She would naturally remember her master's words.
I just had a premonition of a breakthrough, so I inevitably wanted to go faster.
After all, after breaking through the intermediate level of elixirs, she would be able to refine more practical elixirs.
Starting to put away the sorted prescriptions, Ruan Li turned around and went to bed. He closed his eyes as soon as he was covered with quilt and said, "That's it, let's go to sleep first!"
Seeing this, Fangze couldn't help but smile on his handsome face, and that smile contained a hint of doting.
As soon as he turned around, his spiritual consciousness entered Ruan Li's sea of consciousness.
sleep!
