Chapter 123: Phantom Dream
This discussion with Xiao Ling about alchemy gave Fa Ma a lot of new understanding of alchemy, and some of the doubts that had accumulated before were also answered by Xiao Ling one by one.
Through the communication with Xiao Ling, Fa Ma could clearly find that Xiao Ling's knowledge of alchemy far exceeded that of Gu He, who was also a sixth-grade alchemist.
Fa Ma had often exchanged experiences with Gu He about alchemy before, and although he also gained something, it was far less effective than the communication with Xiao Ling.
Looking at Xiao Ling who was talking freely, Fa Ma sighed in his heart: "It is worthy of being a genius boy who can reach the sixth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen. It is indeed not comparable to us."
Two hours passed quickly, and Xiao Ling and Fa Ma also ended the discussion.
Before leaving, Xiao Ling said to Fama, "President Fama, I would like to ask the Alchemist Guild to help me find an item."
Hearing this, Fama cast a curious look at Xiao Ling, "Now that you have become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, you can naturally get the help of the Alchemist Guild. Tell me, do you need any medicinal materials for refining pills? If the Alchemist Guild has collections, I can take them out and exchange with you."
Shaking his head lightly, Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, and then described to Fama, "What I am looking for is a piece of black broken jade. As long as you find black broken fragments, please help me collect them, and I can reimburse the cost."
Since the fragment appeared in the Alchemist Guild in the original book, asking the Alchemist Guild to help find it may be rewarding. Anyway, without the help of the strange fire, it is impossible to see the content recorded on it.
Nodding, Fama replied: "This search range is a bit wide, but since you have already spoken, I will arrange my men to pay more attention. If I find fragments that match your description, I will collect them."
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ling smiled, "Thank you, President Fama, it's getting late, goodbye."
After leaving the reception hall, Xiao Ling planned to check the prescriptions recorded in the Alchemist Guild.
Relying on his identity as an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling entered the secret room where the pill recipes were collected and began to check them one by one.
Although the grades of these pill recipes were not very high, and most of them were recorded in Xiao Ling's hands.
However, Xiao Ling still found some pill recipes that he had not collected, expanding his collection. For example, the sixth-grade Rongling Pill recipe that was awarded as the champion of the Alchemist Conference three years later in the original book.
After browsing all the prescriptions in the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling walked out of the Alchemist Guild and flew towards the Xiao family.
…
Back in his courtyard, Xiao Ling slightly released his soul perception and found that Zi Yan was sleeping in the room, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian were practicing in their respective rooms.
Xiao Ling first met Xiao Yixian and gave her the brand poison he got from Nalan Jie.
This brand poison can not only be swallowed by Xiao Yixian's evil poison body, but also contains some pure Dou Qi of Nalan Jie, the Dou King, which is very helpful to Xiao Yixian now.
After chatting with Xiao Yixian for a while, Xiao Ling returned to his room.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ling turned his palm and took out the jade pendant that he had exchanged from the Alchemist Guild.
This jade pendant is round in shape and smooth in touch, like a piece of baby skin. It is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and slowly released his soul perception to contact the jade pendant.
When his soul perception touched the jade pendant, a weak but clear energy wave was transmitted back. This wave was like a tiny ripple, rippling in his sea of consciousness.
Immediately, a soul light ball appeared out of thin air in Xiao Ling's mind.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Ling released his soul perception and touched the soul light ball that had just appeared.
When the two came into contact, a stream of information drilled into Xiao Ling's mind.
Reading the extra information in his mind, Xiao Ling couldn't help but blurt out: "Phantom Dream Spirit Shadow."
After spending some time, Xiao Ling finished browsing all the extra information in his mind.
Touching his forehead, Xiao Ling shook his head and showed a satisfied smile, "I'm really lucky today. I didn't expect to find a rare illusion fighting skill."
That's right, Xiao Ling found an illusion fighting skill called "Illusionary Dream Spirit Shadow" on this jade pendant.
"Illusionary Dream Spirit Shadow" is an extremely mysterious and powerful illusion fighting skill.
The way to perform it first requires the practitioner to concentrate, mobilize his own soul power, and trigger the activation of the illusion by making seals with both hands. During the process of making seals, the soul power will form a circle of faint light patterns around.
The effect of this illusion fighting skill is divided into three levels. In the primary stage, it can make the opponent have a short visual illusion and see some illusory scenes or objects, thereby distracting his attention and gaining the opportunity to attack.
In the intermediate stage, it can directly invade the opponent's spiritual world, manipulate some of his perceptions, make his judgment of the surrounding environment deviate, and even fall into a short period of confusion and fear.
At the advanced stage, a completely illusory mental cage can be constructed to trap the opponent's consciousness, making it unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and at the mercy of the caster.
However, the use of "Illusionary Dream Spirit Shadow" also has certain limitations and risks.
It consumes a lot of the practitioner's soul power. If the soul power is insufficient and it is forced to be used, it may cause the practitioner to fall into a coma.
Moreover, if the opponent's mental will is extremely firm or the soul cultivation is higher than the caster's own soul cultivation, the effect of the illusion may be greatly reduced, and even the caster may be backfired.
Touching his chin, Xiao Ling muttered to himself: "Although this fighting skill cannot cause strong lethality, its scope of application is very wide and has a lot of room for development."
For example, if you want to describe the appearance and shape of an item to others, you can materialize the picture in your mind, so that you can communicate more effectively.
"If I practice this illusion fighting skill to a high level, with my current spiritual realm soul, it is not impossible to control some Dou Zun strongmen who have not broken through to the spiritual realm soul."
Shaking his head, he dispelled all kinds of thoughts in his mind. Now that he has obtained such an illusion fighting skill, he will naturally start learning as soon as possible.
Immediately, Xiao Ling formed a specific hand seal and began to practice over and over again.
The slowly rising moonlight shone on Xiao Ling's figure through the glass on the window, as if the moon was afraid that he would catch a cold, and covered him with a gauze made of moonlight.
