There was no sun or moon in the mountains, and the same was true in Gao Pei's cave. Twenty-one days had passed before he knew it, and there was only one day left before the semi-finals. Zhang Xiaosheng woke up leisurely in seclusion. He had been busy traveling recently, but he had not practiced well. Zhang Xiaosheng Not only did I not feel bored, but I felt quite refreshed. This retreat not only broke through to the fourth level in one fell swoop and officially entered the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, but I also gained some insights.
It has to be said that there is a reason to be expensive. With the blessing of the 40% Spirit Gathering Formation, Zhang Xiaosheng's breakthrough to the fourth level was less than half the time expected. He had already broken through on the sixteenth day. Fortunately, the golden elixir The realm is all about opening up meridians inside the golden elixir, so there is no movement from the outside world.
What Zhang Xiaosheng was slightly puzzled about at this time was that everyone else had one golden elixir, but he had five.
It stands to reason that the golden elixir is a perfect fusion of a person's spirit, energy, and spirit. Even if there are multiple spiritual roots, the golden elixir is composed according to the proportion of the spiritual roots' fit. And one has one attribute, just like five people. It's a kind of practice, but strangely there is no conflict.
Grab, grab, grab. As Zhang Xiaosheng's realm improved, he also had a different understanding and understanding of cultivation than Liu Tianyu. He always felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He also tried to see if he could bring the five golden elixirs together, but when he got closer, they were like magnets of the same level, repelling them. However, when using the spell, there was no stagnation in the transformation. After studying for a long time, he couldn't find a way. We can only give up temporarily.
After finishing his training, Zhang Xiaosheng opened the system interface according to the old rules.
The fifth meridian has also been opened to 7% in the past few days, and the traction bonus of heaven and earth spiritual energy has increased by 2.3%. This must be the reason why the fourth meridian has been successfully opened. It is just that we cannot test the power of spells in this inn, so we don’t know the improvement. Obviously or not.
The main reason was that he had run out of reputation points and had no reputation pills in stock, which made Zhang Xiaosheng extremely depressed.
After walking out of the door, he came to the door of An Qiuhe's room. Because there was a shielding formation, he didn't know if An Qiuhe was inside, so he could only knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, there was no response. Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head slightly, presumably again. It's time to go out.
An Qiuhe also knocked on the door twice before when he was practicing, but he was at the critical moment of breakthrough at that time, so he ignored him.
Now that An Qiuhe is not here, Zhang Xiaosheng has no choice but to go out alone. When passing by the lobby, he hears noise coming from the backyard. Zhang Xiaosheng can't help but stay still and listen. Because it is not easy to use his spiritual sense to explore at will in the inn, Zhang Xiaosheng also heard something. Just a few words, such as "save some spiritual stones to break through and build the foundation", "how many elixirs have been wasted", "so what if we enter the semi-finals", "don't aim too high", "don't listen to others' advice", etc.
As I listened, the noise gradually became quieter, and I saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old running out from behind. His clothes were a little shabby but still neat. He was holding an alchemy furnace about a foot in size in his arms. The alchemy furnace was ventilated. There were bursts of black smoke coming out of the mouth.
The young man lowered his head and bumped into Zhang Xiaosheng recklessly.
Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly dodged, and the young man seemed to realize that he had almost bumped into someone. He couldn't help but raise his head and saw a young man wearing a gorgeous white robe with gold trim opposite him. Tears appeared in his already red eyes.
"I'm sorry, senior. I didn't see it, junior. I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaosheng had not been hit, so he would not be angry. He was the kind of person who could watch the fun but would never meddle in other people's business. But when he saw this man's face covered with black smoke from the failure of refining the elixir, , the young man who was even more stained by tears apologized to him nervously, and felt soft for no reason, and said:
"Are you here to participate in the alchemy competition too?"
The young man seemed to be used to being criticized. Hearing such a gentle tone, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied:
昘戅 wonderful book garden MiAOShuY戅. "Yes, senior, junior has entered the semi-finals, but has failed several times recently. However, junior has found the reason for failure, and will definitely succeed next time!"
After all, it is the nature of a young man. When it comes to his favorite alchemy, the anxiety and fear he felt just now have long since disappeared, replaced by incomparable determination and confidence.
The young man said while wiping the tears on his face. Although his face was more discolored, he still vaguely showed his original beauty.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the young man and said with a smile:
"Do you live here too?"
The young man looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying:
"How can I live in an inn? The shopkeeper is kind enough to take me here to do some odd jobs and earn some scattered spiritual stones to buy elixirs and learn alchemy."
Xixi Miaoshuyuan Xixi. "Are you practicing by yourself?" Zhang Xiaosheng was slightly surprised. He thought he was a disciple of someone's family. Although he was relatively poor, he should have a master's inheritance. He didn't expect that this young man was alone.
You must know that alchemy is a costly profession. You cannot make progress without accumulating a large amount of medicinal materials, and the success rate varies. Of course, people with high talent may have a shorter accumulation process, but they will never skip this process. .
Only by burning a large amount of medicinal materials can we gradually understand how to refine different medicinal materials, different years, different colors and different combinations, and successfully form elixirs. The quality of the elixir depends on the control of the heat and the properties of the medicine. .
"This junior has grown up with the master since childhood, but two years ago... the master passed away, and this junior has no relatives anymore. I heard that Shendan City has the most alchemists and the most prosperous place for alchemy in the entire world of immortality, so The younger generation wandered here."
Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to understand the young man's thoughts and said:
"You came to Shendan City to learn alchemy, right? Do you hope to find a more powerful person to become your disciple, or do you want to find a job helping others to make alchemy?"
"Although the master has passed away, the sect still has a legacy. How can the younger generation worship others anymore? I just want to see if there is a place that sells elixirs and help me make elixirs. Firstly, I can make a living and secondly, I can improve my alchemy skills." The young man said indifferently, but looking at his current appearance, it was obvious that he didn't get what he wanted.
Grab, grab, grab. Zhang Xiaosheng sighed slightly and said:
"Your idea is good, but if you want to find a job as an alchemist, the last place you should come to is Shendan City."
The young man looked at Zhang Xiaosheng in surprise and said:
"Senior, Shendan City is the place with the highest level of alchemy refining in the entire world of immortality. Why shouldn't you come?"
"If you are a powerful alchemist, then this is your best stage. Unfortunately, you are only a small monk in the Qi refining stage, not to mention that your realm is too low to refine high-level elixirs. Depending on how proficient you are, I’m afraid you may not have an advantage in terms of appearance.”
Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng denying himself, the young man couldn't help but said anxiously:
"It's because I didn't learn well, it's not because Master didn't teach me well."
Zhang Xiaosheng quickly waved his hand and said:
"That's not what I meant. What I meant is that your current strength is not good enough. As the pinnacle of alchemy level in the world of immortal cultivation, Shendan City is indispensable for alchemists. There are people better than you everywhere, and you are How can you find an alchemy job? If you go to a remote place where there is a lack of alchemists, you may have a better future. You must know that the best is not necessarily the most suitable for you, at least it is not suitable for you now. "
The young man nodded in understanding, then carefully put the alchemy furnace aside, cupped his fists and bowed:
"Thank you, senior, for your advice. If the junior could have met the senior earlier, these two years would not have been wasted."
Zhang Xiaosheng laughed and said:
"No experience is useless. Whether it is success or failure, it all depends on how you look at it. If it were not for the two years of encountering obstacles in Shendan City, would you feel that practicing or refining alchemy is nothing more than this? "
The young man's face turned slightly red and he said:
"Senior is absolutely right, junior... I did think so before."
"You are still young, and it is not too late to know now. There are many people who may not be able to understand it until the dusk. The world is too big and there are too many geniuses. You cannot be proud and complacent at any time, but equally, my talents will be useful. You can never feel inferior to yourself at any time, do you understand?"
The young man knelt on his knees, kowtowed heavily, and said:
"Thank you, senior!"
Zhang Xiaosheng accepted it calmly. No matter his age or level, he was worthy of this tribute. After the young man finished buckling, Zhang Xiaosheng helped him up and said:
"There is one more thing I want to remind you. At any time, whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons, or carving bamboo slips or formations, the state of cultivation is the foundation. Only when the state is high can you see a broader world. You will naturally understand the inexplicable difficulties when you arrive at Foundation Establishment. You cannot delay your cultivation because of elixir refining, do you understand?"
"Yes, I was too arrogant before. I always wanted to refine the best Qi Refining Pill and then advance to the next level, so I never practiced much for fear of accidentally breaking through to the foundation building. At this time, it seems that I am really stupid."
"Well, if you are an alchemist, you must have at least one of the wood and fire attributes, preferably both. The wood attribute can better understand the properties of the medicine, and the fire attribute can better control the temperature of the fire. What kind of spirit are you? root?"
The young man hesitated slightly and said:
"This junior has a single spiritual root of wood attribute."
Zhang Xiaosheng saw that the young man seemed to be vague, but he didn't pay too much attention and said:
"Tomorrow is the rematch, are you confident? I am also participating, and we will still be opponents then!"
"The juniors are poor in skills and dare not compete with the seniors!"
"Haha, actually I don't know how to make alchemy, I just came to watch the fun. Behave well tomorrow, I will pay attention to you!"
"Yes, senior, this junior will try his best and will not let senior down." The young man said firmly.
"No, don't make yourself regretful!" Zhang Xiaosheng waved his hand and walked towards the door. When he was about to go out, he seemed to remember something, turned around and asked:
"By the way, I forgot to ask your name."
嘘戅戅.厺厽 厺厽. "Junior Mo Ziyuan, I would like to send you off to my senior."
