Chapter 82: Throwing Away the Second-Level Alchemist
The Wanxing Sea is dotted with islands of varying sizes. Some places have rich spiritual energy, while others have thin spiritual energy.
The islands with thin spiritual energy are the mortal world, the foundation of the immortal world.
Qianwang Island is such a place.
The island is located on the western border of the Wanxing Sea, and the nearby islands are mostly dry places without spiritual energy.
It is said that there are hundreds of millions of ordinary creatures living here. Every once in a while, the surrounding immortal sects will go to Qianwang Island to test their spiritual roots.
As a place for the living creatures of the mortal world, Qianwang Island is not on the spiritual ship route, and Shen Lian needs to travel on his own for the second half of the journey.
This route was chosen because there is an island where the spiritual ship is anchored on this route, called Yishan Island.
Thirty thousand miles southeast of this island, there is a place called Black Flood Abyss, where the water depth is at least thirty thousand feet.
Friends who have thrown corpses know that if you want to hide deeply, you have to choose the right place.
Shen Lian was going to throw the Five Elements Mountain into the Black Dragon Abyss. There were few islands in this area, and few cultivators passed by.
Although the Five Elements Mountain was good, life was more important.
When he became a weapon refiner, at most he could find good spiritual materials to refine his own magic weapon.
When he cultivated to the Nascent Soul level, how could he be short of a five-color stone?
It was not a loss, as two thousand spiritual stones leveraged at least 400,000 spiritual stones, so he made a lot of money.
It took more than two months to get from Black Whale Island to Yushan Island.
It was not that the spirit ship flew slowly, but that the spirit ship needed to stop at various islands, and it took a lot of time to stop at each place.
It was not that Shen Lian had not thought about flying there himself, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. There were too many dangers on the way.
How could there be a fake Dan Zhenren to guard his safety.
Spirit ship, in the room.
Shen Lian sat cross-legged on the cushion. Under the lining of his robe, there was a Yanling Shennian Talisman, and on his legs and insteps, there were Wanli Shenxing Talismans.
Every twelve hours, a divine thought would sweep over the spirit ship, and he would passively sense the fluctuations in the divine thought.
This was the divine thought of the fake Dan Zhenren sitting on the spirit ship.
The high-level spirit ships traveling to and from the Wanxing Sea were almost all occupied by fake Dan Zhenren.
As for the Jindan Zhenren, they had no time to deal with these trivial matters, they needed to practice in seclusion.
The fake Dan monks were the main thugs of the major Jindan-level forces going out.
While refining the spirit stones, Shen Lian counted the various spiritual objects purchased in the storage bag.
Before leaving, the nearly 100,000 low-grade spirit stones earned in Black Whale City were left in Black Whale City.
There were only more than 2,000 spirit stones left in the storage bracelet.
Even so, there were still many things that were not purchased.
For example, the second-level spirit beast was excluded from the must-buy list because of Pei Huoyu's dozens of blood pills.
For alchemy materials, he mainly bought the Juling Pill and Zhenyuan Pill to improve strength.
Both kinds of elixirs require a second-level spiritual medicine as the main ingredient, combined with more than a dozen first-level spiritual medicines.
The average price of one material is about 2,300 spiritual stones.
Unlike first-level elixirs, a furnace of second-level elixirs can no longer produce so many pills, and the number is mostly less than ten, and this is the number of both good and bad pills.
The selling price of a low-quality Juling Pill is about 450 spiritual stones.
In the elixir shop, they are all sold in one bottle.
Of course, the reason why elixirs are sought after is also worth the money.
The spiritual power converted from refining a Juling Pill is equivalent to using spiritual stones or practicing for two or three months in a place with abundant spiritual stones.
Some cultivators who hope to achieve the golden elixir and pursue the Nascent Soul, who would honestly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?
It is not within the limit of their own body's tolerance, to accelerate the speed of accumulating spiritual power as much as possible, break through the small bottlenecks of the foundation building layer by layer, and save time to polish the bottleneck of the golden elixir.
Shen Lian asked for eight copies of each of the materials for the two kinds of elixirs.
It takes five to ten days to refine a pill slowly. After refining, it needs to settle for a few days to completely transform the medicinal power into spiritual power.
The reason for this is that it is impossible for a cultivator to practice all the time every day, and the body cannot bear it.
No cultivator can refine pills all the time without settling.
According to the ten days to refine a pill, plus the time for the medicinal power to settle and transform, minus the time for making talismans, refining pills, and practicing spells, it is calculated that one pill is consumed in twenty days.
Eighteen pills are needed in a year.
Shen Lian is not too ambitious. According to the eight pills produced in one furnace, it is 128 Juling Pills and Zhenyuan Pills.
Theoretically, it is enough for him to practice in the mortal world for seven or eight years.
As for what to do if there are no pills after seven or eight years, the time is too long. He needs to decide according to the situation. Maybe he will stay for three to five years and then move again.
He asked for two kinds of pill materials to eat them alternately to avoid drug resistance in his body.
In addition to the elixirs used for cultivation, there are also materials for the Huiling Pill to replenish spiritual power. As for replenishing the power of the mind, no corresponding herbs were bought.
The remaining materials are the materials for making talismans.
He asked for three pieces of Xuanling Jade Marrow to make jade talismans that can increase power. One piece is worth 5,000 spiritual stones.
In addition to making jade talismans, this thing has a wide range of uses. It can be used to print talismans, help foundation-building cultivators to nourish spiritual power, and reduce the bottleneck of breaking through the sixth and seventh layers.
He also asked for a bottle of second-level high-quality spiritual ink, which is worth 3,600 spiritual stones and can only be used five times.
At that time, Shen Lian thought that he would raise Dahei and Sanqian fat in the future, and sell them for blood to make spiritual ink.
He did not buy the Tianlei True Liquid for drawing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Talisman Array, so he could only continue to draw the Tiangang Disha Thunder Fire Talisman Array.
A second-level low-grade talisman master has inherited many talisman arrays, and the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Thunder Fire are the two with the strongest attack power.
This time, Shen Lian also bought a large number of poisons in Black Whale City, and some of them were left over from Yunmeng Market.
He planned to see if he could make a full poison talisman array, and directly grind the bones and dust into ashes, and turn the dirty blood into ashes. The best one is the one that does not need to be restrained.
The spirit ship was very fast. After leaving, it headed northwest of Black Whale City. The first stop on the way was Yuanshan Island, where it stayed for three days.
Shen Lian quickly got off the spirit ship and took out some happy pills one hour before the spirit ship set off.
The spirit ship set sail, and he returned to the spirit ship with 4,300 spirit stones.
When the spirit ship flew to the sky and stabilized, he sat down cross-legged, took out a jade slip and pressed it on his forehead.
This is the practice method of "Five Elements Forbidden Judgment".
He was quite jealous of Pei Huoyu's practice.
This method needs to be based on the five elements, and the power of circulation suppresses the opponent, causing the opponent's spiritual power to stagnate and interrupt the casting of spells.
When the monks fight, the spiritual power stagnates and the spells are interrupted. If the monks react slowly, it is equivalent to sending their heads to the opponent.
Two months later, the spirit ship landed on Yushan Island.
A few days later,
At a glance, on the dark sea, a black spirit boat was floating close to the water surface.
The wind and waves in this sea area are very low, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Shen Lian stood on the spirit boat holding the Five Elements Mountain in his hand. He had wiped out his breath.
"Pululu."
Sanqian jumped up from the water and spit out a few bubbles.
"Remember this place?"
Seeing Sanqian nod, Shen Lian put Sanqian into the spirit beast bracelet.
"Putong..."
He flipped his palm lightly, and the Five Elements Mountain fell into the surging black water.
"Alas..."
Why did he throw the Five Elements Mountain here? Shen Lian was a little embarrassed to say the reason.
This place is sparsely populated and the water is deep. He was thinking about whether there would be a chance to retrieve it later.
It is a treasure after all. If it weren't for the Yuanying ancestor, he really couldn't bear to throw it away.
Bian Qingyun could even get such a rare spiritual insect as the Soul Borrowing Gu Worm. Could it be so easy for a foundation-building cultivator to take away the five-color stone that the Ziyang ancestor had worked so hard to get?
After such a long time of sacrifice, Shen Lian did not feel anything strange from the five-color stone except for the spirituality.
But before Pei Huoyu was seriously injured, he didn't find any problems on his body either?
Yuanying old monster, with a lifespan of three thousand years, can only be produced by one among many immortal cultivators. His mind is filled with cultivation experience. No matter if it scares himself or not, he must not take chances.
What if Pei Huoyu wants to do what the Ziyang old monster wants to do!
Some things can't be thought back at all.
As long as there is a stable panel, everything else can be thrown away.
...
The spirit boat splashed on the water and disappeared in the distance.
This flying boat was selected from the spoils of war. It is similar to the wooden flying boat commonly used in the Qi training stage, and belongs to the flying boat commonly used in the foundation building stage.
Otherwise, Shen Lian would not use it.
Even so, he drew the second-level water purification talisman, cleansed the spirit boat, refurbished it, and made it look old.
After throwing away the Five Elements Mountain, he returned to Yishan Island by the original route and began to travel westward.
As he traveled westward, the spiritual power of the air gradually became thinner, and the number of cultivators he encountered became fewer and fewer, and their strength became lower and lower.
Even the fish and shrimp under the sea became much smaller.
On the islands encountered on the way, there were more towns built by mortals.
There is an unwritten rule in the world of immortal cultivation that cultivators are not allowed to slaughter mortals without reason.
Even if some cultivator families fight against each other, the victorious family will not completely destroy all the mortals after killing the cultivators of the hostile family, but will only eliminate the powerful ones among the mortals.
The bold ones would directly absorb the other side's mortal tribesmen into their own mortal tribesmen, and after decades of assimilation, they would have more tribesmen.
Those who are worried would confine them, send a few unpromising cultivators in the tribe to monitor them for decades, and secretly strangle a group of immortal seedlings with spiritual roots. When the people of the same batch die of old age, the hatred will be over.
In short, large-scale massacres of mortals are mostly done by demon cultivators.
Shen Lian also went to some islands to investigate and make some records, which might be useful in the future.
More than 20 days later.
The outline of an extremely large island appeared in Shen Lian's eyes.
Qianwang Island has arrived.
The outline of this island is like an endless mountain range across the ocean, and the two sides merge into one in a line intertwined with the water and the sky.
There are more small boats and fishing boats on the sea.
"Immortal."
"Immortal."
When Shen Lian drove the spiritual boat over, the figures on the distant boats knelt down one by one.
Shen Lian did not stop. He noticed that although these mortals were kneeling, they were not surprised by his appearance.
In other words, mortals on Qianwang Island often see immortal cultivators.
...
One day later.
Pengzhou City.
Shen Lian squatted in a private room of a restaurant, drinking.
After a meal, he figured out the situation on Qianwang Island.
Qianwang Island was divided up by several major immortal cultivation sects, and each area had immortal officials stationed by different sects.
Pengzhou City was the capital of Peng State, and there was an immortal official of the seventh level of Qi training stationed here.
A gorgeous Immortal Palace was specially built for him in the capital, which was more majestic and magnificent than the royal palace. Every now and then, batches of water-spirited women were sent to the Immortal Palace for the enjoyment of the immortal officials.
Wine pools and meat forests, singing, dancing, and shengxiao, the groom is admired every night...
The island's spiritual energy is exhausted, and there are no famous mountains or rivers.
Shen Lian finally chose the place of retreat in Huayang Prefecture under the rule of Peng State. This state has many mountains but few people.
…
Jiuhua Mountain.
An stable peak.
In fact, it is an inconspicuous hilltop in the mountains, surrounded by mountains.
This hilltop was chosen because there is a hollow cave under this hilltop, which goes more than two hundred feet underground. It is a natural and stable cave.
Dahei led a swarm of black-horned ants to dig into the cave, dividing the cave into places for cultivation, talisman making, alchemy, and spirit beast rooms.
He even dug a small puddle for Sanqian.
According to the previous rules, Shen Lian arranged the formations and talismans.
The new home is finally built.
Black-horned ants also began to dig holes, building ant nests around the holes, spreading out, and establishing reconnaissance outposts.
After finishing everything, Shen Lian's secluded life officially began.
The goal of this seclusion is to improve various craft skills and strive to become a foundation-building monk with comprehensive development in both attack and defense.
One day later.
Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the training room, opened and closed his eyes and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
[Shen Lian: Build the first level of foundation]
[Five Elements Spiritual Roots: Fire 100 Earth 31 Gold 31 Wood 31 Water 31]
[Fire Magical Power: Tianyan Fire Domain]
[Spiritual Thought: Six hundred and ten feet]
[Alchemist: First level high grade (1/10000) cannot be broken through]
——Expand——
[Enlightenment point: 17826]
[Enlightenment Points: 0]
In one thought, tens of thousands of enlightenment points disappeared, and waves appeared in Shen Lian's sea of spiritual thoughts, just like ripples on a calm lake surface blown by a wisp of breeze.
In the dark, a little sparkling dust emerged from the sea of spiritual thoughts, turning into the mystery of alchemy, and then became concrete words.
"Dividing Xuan Condensing Pill Technique... Qingxu Transformation Pill... Jiangyun Pill..."
"The Ten Thousand Essence Pill can help monster beasts purify their bloodline."
"Boyu Pill...Nine Return Pills can assist in condensing spiritual power."
…
"Jin Yuan Dan, Mu Yuan Dan, Shui Yuan Dan..."
…
"Soul-nurturing Pill...Dingyan Pill...Demon Spirit Pill..."
