The air is filled with the rich aroma of unknown herbs, thick smoke curls from the jade incense burner, and the room is exquisite, simple and tidy.
This was a guest room of the Tianding Chamber of Commerce, and renting it out was a huge sum of money. However, in order to show his favor to Sun Xing, Zhu Chen decided to let the two of them stay there and stay as long as they wanted.
"Disciple, are you awake?"
Sun Xing was sitting not far from Chen Mo's bed. When he saw his head tilted slightly, he said to him in a kind tone.
He still remembered the scene three days ago when he took away the teleportation token from Zhuo Qingyang's helpless and jealous eyes, but that guy was really angry!
"It's just a little bit close!"
Sun Xing also didn't expect that Chen Mo could bring him such a big surprise, and Chu Wushuang's depression of severing his apprenticeship was relieved by him.
Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes. Not only Jia Jiao, but also Jia Jiao, who had deep Yin spirit power, also fainted. He finally understood why the alchemist always looked like he was sweating profusely every time.
However, he also faintly noticed one thing, that is, his true cultivation level has been exposed to Sun Xing. Without the supply of spiritual power at the tenth level of Qi refining, it is absolutely impossible to complete the spiritual formation carving!
And now....
"How should I tell the master?" Chen Mo pretended to have a headache and covered his head. In fact, he was already thinking about how to deal with it quickly.
Sun Xing is a genuine foundation-building monk. He told Sun Xing what he should do to a young girl like Chu Wushuang who is not experienced in the world. There really is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
Seeing his behavior, Sun Xing walked over quickly and asked pleasantly: "What's wrong?"
Chen Mo couldn't take the initiative to mention this matter, otherwise it would appear that he was very scheming. In this short period of time, he had already made up his mind to trick Sun Xing and deliberately guide Sun Xing's thoughts.
The results you infer yourself are far more reliable than what you hear from others.
So he said: "Master, the disciple has taken all the Huaqing Pills you gave me, but recently there are still some places that are not functioning smoothly. Can you help the disciple check his spiritual veins?"
"So that's what happened." Sun Xing nodded slightly without saying anything. His majestic spiritual power explored Chen Mo's body, but soon, he frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in his expression. He discovered that Chen Mo's The spiritual root qualifications have actually become much better!
Sun Xing couldn't help but think of the effect of the Huaqing Pill, which could slightly improve a cultivator's qualifications, but he didn't expect it to be of such great help to him.
He had never practiced Yin spiritual power, nor had he taken the Huaqing Pill. He only knew that this weird spiritual power was difficult to cultivate, so he subconsciously attributed the reason for his cultivation to other places.
"No wonder he is practicing so fast... Then there is no need to ask him." Sun Xing thought to himself, besides, the tenth level of Qi refining is already very easy to practice, so this kind of progress is nothing.
"It's normal, don't think about it too much. Rest for three days. After you have rested, I will start to teach you formally." Sun Xing waved his hand, indicating that Chen Mo could rest assured.
"Master, is this disciple really a Yin-vein spiritual power? Why do you think his cultivation is no different from that of an ordinary monk?" Chen Mo was afraid that Sun Xing would still have doubts about him, so he specifically asked.
Sun Xing pondered: "There is still a difference. My teacher once read in a classic that it is rumored that the fifteen stages of Qi refining currently practiced in the cultivation world of the Seven Kingdoms are actually the result of being split, and they are not the same as the real ones. The Qi refining period is very different, so the quality is diluted."
"This can also explain why even foundation-building cultivators cannot easily detect the spiritual power of the Yin Meridian. Maybe to a certain extent, the spiritual power of the Yin Meridian is authentic."
"Seven Kingdoms Cultivation World? So there are places beyond the Seven Kingdoms!" Chen Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he heard such news for the first time.
"Maybe, even my teacher doesn't know." Sun Xing sighed and threw the token he had bet with Zhuo Qingyang to Chen Mo: "This is what you win. If you can find the remains of the ancient teleportation array in the future, , you can consider visiting the outside world.”
Chen Mo quickly pushed back: "Master, this is something that no disciple can do."
"Take it, it's useless as a teacher." Sun Xing stood up and said calmly: "Take a good rest, there is no need to give it away."
Chen Mo reluctantly took the teleportation token and bowed deeply to Sun Xing to send his master off.
.......
Three days later, the underground alchemy room of Tianding Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Chen opened a special alchemy room for the two masters and apprentices. Chen Mo finally understood the master's intention. He would learn the alchemy technique in one to two years, and then work for the Tianding Chamber of Commerce for another year and use the alchemy remuneration to nourish him. Oneself, prepare for the casual cultivator conference.
The morning was spent studying the condensed medicinal liquid of medicinal herbs. A steady stream of elixirs were supplied by the Tianding Chamber of Commerce. The only thing the master and apprentice had to do was to convert them into useful medicinal liquids. Of course, the loss of Chen Mo's alchemy was Not included in this.
Chen Mo had studied the catalytic liquid from Sun Xing's handbook, but the actual operation was another matter. In the first test, the alchemy furnace smelled like burnt. When he opened the furnace, he saw that it was used for The two herbs used to condense the medicine were all blackened.
"Fire is the key to catalyzing the liquid medicine. No one can control the fluctuations of the furnace fire. What you can do is to reduce the chance of the herbs being burned, and condense the essence into gas through the settings in the furnace. After passing through the spirit, The compression of the formation is the step in which an elixir takes shape."
sun The herbs that grow into the climate...smoke to black.
The drawing of the spiritual formation diagram was moved to the afternoon, because Chen Mo had succeeded once before, and he could find the key points when drawing it again, so he learned this very quickly.
However, due to the consumption of spiritual power, Chen Mo could only split each spiritual formation into several parts, gradually learn them and finally put them together. This was also effective. On the first day of learning, the success rate reached about 20%, which is already remarkable. .
Night was his time to practice. At this time, Sun Xing also had to complete the assignment issued by the Tianding Chamber of Commerce. The day passed in a busy and fulfilling manner.
A month later, Chen Mo learned that the name of the young man who was competing with him in the spiritual formation was Jia Jiao. This man had an unknown head cramp. He came to Chen Mo late at night and asked to compete with the catalytic liquid. The bet was ten spiritual stones.
Just as he was dozing off, someone gave him a pillow. Chen Mo wanted it. Not long after the two of them entered, Jia Jiao came out of the alchemy room with his head lowered. Chen Mo weighed the spirit stone in his hand: "Well, not bad, not bad, and there is an unexpected gain. .”
Unexpectedly, this incident was just the beginning. In the following days, Jia Jiao would come to challenge him every once in a while, and the gifts became more and more generous. Chen Mo's practice of alchemy also accelerated a lot.
Without him, Chen Mo didn't want to lose to this kid who had always targeted him.
After going back and forth several times, Jia Jiao began to admire Brother Chen, who was several years older than him, and the relationship between the two became much more harmonious.
There is also good news, that is, the black stone will not absorb the spiritual energy in the low-grade spiritual stone. At most, it will rob Chen Mo of part of his cultivated spiritual energy. Otherwise, Chen Mo will be easily killed by the black stone. Go ahead.
In more than a year, Chen Mo only fused once on the outskirts of Yuncheng, which almost caused him to explode to death. The reason was that the black stone and his own cultivation had reached an incredible level.
With the terrifying combat power of the fourteenth level of Qi Refining, if he were to fight Li Yanjun now, he wouldn't need to be so close to death, he could be captured alive with just a few moves.
This fusion allowed Chen Mo to purify seventeen medicinal herbs. He had a hunch that if his body was still the same next time, even if there were medicinal herbs for him to purify, his output speed would not be as fast as the fused mysterious spirit. If you are quick, there is only one word for the consequences.
Although the days of alchemy refining in Yuncheng are boring, fortunately there is hope for progress, so it is not that difficult. However, when dreaming back at midnight, Chen Mo can always think of the beautiful sky-blue silhouette in his heart.
"I wonder how she is doing..."
In the command room, two years passed in a blink of an eye.
Ningxiangzhai is located on the north side of the core of Yuncheng. Compared with the prosperity of Tianding Chamber of Commerce, it is much inferior.
It is a local chamber of commerce in Chu State. Under the pressure of Tianding Chamber of Commerce, it is becoming more and more difficult to do business. Fortunately, it once had a fixed source of customers, so it is not difficult to persevere.
Nearing the afternoon, a young man with an ordinary face in white clothes set out from the back door of the Tianding Chamber of Commerce and walked for about a quarter of an hour before entering a small building with green tiles.
As soon as he saw this person coming in, the fat shopkeeper with a red face rushed over to greet him, laughed and said: "Brother Chen, Wang has been waiting for you for a long time!"
The young man in white smiled noncommittally. Seeing that the customers of Ningxiangzhai did not pay much attention to the two of them, they entered the secret room in the attic together with the fat shopkeeper.
After the two parties sat down, the fat shopkeeper clapped his hands, and two pretty maids walked in gently, brewed a pot of fragrant tea on the table, poured it gently, and left immediately.
"Is Shopkeeper Wang ready for the Centennial Heavenly Spirit Fruit that Chen wants?"
The young man in white never eats food provided by strangers and gets straight to the point.
Shopkeeper Wang seemed to have already understood the person in front of him. He smiled, flipped his hands, and a silver-white fruit appeared in his hand.
"Brother Chen, have you brought the spiritual stone?" Shopkeeper Wang shook the elixir in his hand, indicating that the other party should also bring out some real products.
The young man in white pondered for a moment and threw the storage bag to the other party. He was not worried that he would take the spiritual stone and run away: "Count it, nine hundred spiritual stones, not a lot."
Shopkeeper Wang did not count the storage bags in front of the young man in white. He chuckled and said, "Aren't you worried about Brother Chen's character? No need to order, just pick it up!"
Then, the century-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit fell into the hands of the young man in white. He pulled out a small green box from other storage bags, put the Heavenly Spirit Fruit into it, wrapped it solemnly, and suddenly said "Shopkeeper Wang, when will the bottle of blood essence of the Vajra Bear monster that Chen entrusted to you be delivered?"
"this...."
Shopkeeper Wang suddenly showed hesitation, as if he had something to hide.
"If you have anything to say, it's okay for Shopkeeper Wang to say it." The young man in white said leisurely.
"Well, that's the truth I told Brother Chen," Shopkeeper Wang finally said as if he had made up his mind: "To be honest, something happened to the essence and blood of this diamond bear monster, and it is fifty yuan more expensive than before. Already...."
The young man in white frowned: "Didn't we agree on 600 spiritual stones? Why do you still raise the price?"
"Brother Chen, don't think so. The diamond bear you want is about the essence and blood of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and this Diamond Bear is close to the level of Qi Refining Dzogchen. Although the essence and blood are similar, for hunting Killing monsters, our Chamber of Commerce people have lost a good expert..."
The young man in white sighed: "Okay, you don't need to explain. If it weren't for the fact that the next batch of goods from Tianding Chamber of Commerce will arrive in half a year, and Chen is in urgent need of these things, he will definitely not buy them from you. Fifty is five." Ten, when can I pick up the goods?”
Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed after hearing this: "Brother Chen, the fastest is seven days!"
"Okay! Then Chen will come back to bother me then." The young man in white turned and left without touching the tea on the table. Only the smiling shopkeeper Wang was left in the room.
Not long after, a monk dressed as a servant quickly entered the secret room. Shopkeeper Wang said: "Have you found out the identity of this person?"
"This is the shopkeeper. This person is an alchemist who joined the Tianding Chamber of Commerce three years ago. Now he lives in the guest room of the Tianding Chamber of Commerce." The boy said to the shopkeeper respectfully.
"No wonder he's so wealthy!" Shopkeeper Wang figured out the source of this man's spiritual stone and couldn't help but muttered: "He doesn't look like much. Could it be that the old monster of Foundation Establishment is hiding his cultivation? But the Foundation Establishment monk wants these What do herbs do during the Qi refining period..."
While he was thinking hard, the young man in white had returned to his residence and placed the three jade boxes on the table from the storage bag, showing a satisfied look.
This person is none other than Chen Mo, who has been unknown here for three years!
After some thought, he piled up spiritual stones in the four corners of the room to form a simple formation to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in. With a wave of his right hand, he used his domineering cultivation of the fifth level of Qi Refining to gently open the jade box, revealing Three crystal clear treasures of nature and earth.
"Chen has worked hard for you for a year..."
Chen Mo sighed and took out the booklet in his arms. The three words "Xiao Xuan Gong" were clearly written on the title page.
As early as more than a year ago, Chen Mo began to prepare the body training method. He went around the Tianding Chamber of Commerce and finally decided to buy this "Little Mysterious Skill".
This is a book of body-training techniques that can be practiced to the foundation-building stage. The contents are introduced in great detail. Chen Mo was able to buy it because of the sentence: 'Suitable for people with strong spiritual power to practice.'
However, Chen Mo did not spend many spiritual stones to buy it. The reason is that if he wants to cultivate to the first level, he needs to temper three designated herbs and cooperate with the Xiaoxuan Gong mind method to achieve a small success. A monk of ordinary wealth How is it possible to have spiritual stones to purchase body-tempering spiritual herbs?
