Chapter 121 The Secret of the Ultimate Pill
"Brother Yu once heard about one or two by chance." Ma Tianxiong nodded, and then a strange expression appeared on his face: "Junior Brother Ye seems to be very interested in the best pills. According to your aptitude, as long as you work hard, even the lower grade pills are enough. Build the foundation."
"Hehe." Lin Xuan was smiling, but his heart was trembling. He lost his composure just now, and he quickly said indifferently: "I made senior brother laugh. I'm just curious, and I'm naturally interested in all kinds of anecdotes."
"En." Ma Tianxiong didn't have any doubts. Lin Xuan's Heavenly Demon Impersonation Technique is incomparably wonderful. With his current cultivation base, no one will be able to recognize his true face unless he is a master of the alchemy stage. Ma Tianxiong continued. : "Brother Yu happened to see the introduction of the best marrow washing pill in an ancient book..."
This gentleman does not doubt that there is him. Anyway, this is not a valuable secret, so I treat it as a small talk and tell Lin Xuan one by one.
It turns out that the elixir classification circulated in the comprehension world is wrong.
Low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade are indeed graded according to the content of impurities, but the legendary top-grade pills are not just like that.
The so-called top-grade pill really has the effect against the sky, except that the proportion of essence in it is extremely high, and there are very few impurities, and it needs to be tempered a second time.
What is secondary quenching?
As we all know, put all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in a cauldron and refine them by experienced practitioners to get finished pills.
This is a tempering.
And to obtain the top-grade pill, one must first prepare the top-grade pill that has been successfully refined, supplement it with several other elixir, and refine it again, which is the so-called alchemy with pills.
Because it was refined twice before and after, it is also called secondary quenching.
Just from the process, one can imagine its difficulty. You must know that even a famous sect with rich wealth and a powerful alchemist cannot refine high-grade alchemy. The only stock in the sect is also It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that it was "accidentally" refined under the circumstances of excellent luck.
High-grade pills are used as raw materials to refine top-grade pills. Once it fails, top-grade pills will be scrapped. Who would be willing to be willing to vomit blood without heartache?
However, for Lin Xuan, this is nothing. With his current cultivation, although the success rate of purifying top-grade pills is very low, it is barely possible. It will take a little more time at most, so it is not a problem.
But what Ma Tianxiong said next made him really encounter a problem.
"What, in addition to needing top-grade pills as the main ingredient, how many flavors of heaven and earth spirit herbs should be added in the second refining?"
"Yes." Ma Tianxiong nodded: "According to ancient records, to refine the top-grade pill, you need Yinyuehua and Liuyingcao as auxiliary materials."
The composition of the ultimate pill is slightly different from the previous grades of pills, which is why Lin Xuan has been unsuccessful in purifying and concentrating the essence.
I got the secret about the top-grade pill from Ma Tianxiong's mouth, but Lin Xuan's heart was not at all relaxed. The top-grade pill is easy to handle, but this is the auxiliary two-flavored spirit grass...
Lin Xuan had read about them in "Baicaolu". Unlike ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Yinyuehua and Liuyingcao are the real treasures of heaven and earth, and their quantity is even rarer than that of Wannian ginseng.
Where did this lead me to find?
"Actually, the spirit grass in this world is not without its origin."
"Brother knows?" Lin Xuan was both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect Ma Tianxiong to be so tall and thick, but so rich in knowledge that he could be called a know-it-all.
"It grows well in Xiyuejian."
"Xiyuejian!" Lin Xuan listened, his face was calm, but his expression was a bit bitter. There was no other reason. This Xiyuejian was a place where notorious monsters grew up, and it was extremely dangerous.
If it was just a monster lair, Lin Xuan might not have dared to break into it. As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. It is normal to take some risks if you want to obtain the spiritual grass of heaven and earth, not to mention the monsters there. Although there are many beasts, most of them are only level one. With my current cultivation base, I can barely handle them.
But the current situation is a bit different. This Xiyuejian is located in the north of Yanzhou, only a few dozen miles away from the Huolingmen, which is considered their sphere of influence. Now the two cultivation alliances are engaged in a war of attrition, and I am in a hostile situation with them. Faction, going to Xiyuejian to collect medicine is not throwing yourself into a trap and becoming the target of hunting?
Staying in the sect is a joy, but looking at the situation, it is impossible to succeed in foundation establishment no matter what.
Lin Xuan was caught in a dilemma. Originally, he still had a way out. He relied on the demon imitation technique, took off Piaoyungu's clothes, and disguised himself as a casual cultivator to sneak there. Loose cultivators of any faction have also suffered miserably, and have been accidentally injured and killed a lot, but they are much safer than sect disciples after all.
But soon, Lin Xuan's wishful thinking also came to naught.
Although it is a war of attrition, the two sides will not have large-scale fighting or attacking the other side's main altar, but other means are omnipotent. Don't underestimate these monks who pursue immortality. They usually look like immortals. Daoist and dignified, but when he really uses sinister tricks, he is despicable and shameless, bloodier and crueler than the world.
In addition to hunting and killing each other's single disciples, they also sent dead soldiers to join sects and assassinate high-ranking monks.
To know whether a school is strong or not, the key lies in the high-level monks. The disciples in the agile stage are just cannon fodder. If there are too many people in the hand, the strength of that sect will be greatly damaged.
Once the balance of power between the opposing sides is broken, the next step will no longer be a war of attrition, but will surely turn into an endless massacre.
Of course, neither side wanted their sects to perish. In order to release the deadly assassins sent by the other side, the two alliances each invented an identification spell.
By injecting the spell of identification into the body, it is clear at a glance whether it is one of your own or a spy, and you can easily recognize it, so that you are not afraid of the other party's people mixing in.
