Chapter 36 Play is moral kidnapping
In fact, it's no wonder Han Yuanshan was so shocked.
You must know that Demon King is not a simple title, it is also synonymous with strength.
The demon king's status among demons is equivalent to that of a monk in the alchemy stage among monks.
Little demon, big demon, demon king, big demon king...
These titles respectively correspond to the Qi training stage, foundation building stage, elixir formation stage, and Nascent Soul stage among monks.
If you want to obtain the demon king's essence and blood, you must either actively donate it.
Either someone killed him and went to get it himself.
And it is not an easy task to kill a demon king who has cultivated for more than a thousand years.
After all, with the same level of cultivation, the strength of demons is generally far superior to that of ordinary monks.
Because compared to fellow cultivators, demons are not only physically much stronger than fellow cultivators, but their demon power is also much stronger.
Therefore, monks who can kill monsters of the same level are almost all geniuses among monks.
However, if you want to obtain the blood of the Demon King, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself.
As an alchemist, Han Yuanshan has average fighting ability.
But don't forget, the alchemist itself is not a profession that specializes in combat.
Relying on their outstanding alchemy skills, alchemists are usually able to make friends with many monks whose cultivation levels far exceed theirs.
Han Yuanshan could pay some price to ask these people to help kill a wind demon queen and obtain the opponent's blood essence.
But if this happens, he will inevitably bleed profusely.
It’s outrageous no matter how you think about paying such a huge price for a disciple who has just started, isn’t it?
Lu Yuan saw Han Yuanshan's uncertain expression at this time.
I also understood that Han Yuanshan seemed to want to refuse.
If it was something ordinary, Han Yuanshan would just refuse it, and Lu Yuan wouldn't say anything more.
But the essence and blood of the wind demon king is the key to Lu Yuan's ability to establish the foundation of wind spirit root and heaven.
And if he misses this time, Lu Yuan will never have such a good opportunity to obtain the blood essence of the wind demon king next time.
The opportunity is now in front of him, and Lu Yuan will never miss it easily.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly looked 'sad' and said: "Master, can't you even satisfy this small request of a disciple..."
"A small request? Do you have any misunderstanding about the Demon King?"
"A drop of the wind demon king's essence and blood, you kid can do it right away."
"But Master, this wind demon king's blood essence is really very important to the disciples."
"Although I am lucky enough to be able to build a foundation now, due to my own spiritual roots, I have almost no hope of forming a core in this life."
"So the disciple made a decision after careful consideration."
"Since I, my disciple, cannot form an elixir in this life, I will be the first person to form an elixir and strive to gather more foundation-building spiritual roots to improve my life-saving ability during the foundation-building period."
"If we have the essence and blood of this wind demon king, then the disciple will be able to complete the foundation building of the wind spirit root, and then his life-saving ability will be able to reach a higher level."
"Master...can you really not be accommodating anymore?"
Hearing Lu Yuan say that he had no hope of forming an elixir in this life, Elder Han suddenly fell silent.
Elder Han naturally knew about Lu Yuan's spiritual root qualifications.
Among the information obtained by Elder Han.
Although Lu Yuan has good innate spiritual root qualifications, the distribution of spiritual root attributes is really confusing.
In fact, Shan Linggen's outstanding qualifications are not only reflected in the speed of early cultivation, but also in the difficulty of breakthrough.
Before the elixir formation stage, spiritual root qualifications will affect the monk's cultivation speed.
But with enough resources, many people can still build foundations by luck.
But after the elixir formation period, this good luck can no longer continue.
The reason is because compared to the Qi training period, you can build the foundation by just practicing Qi.
If a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage wants to suddenly reach the Pill Formation Stage, he needs to complete the special step of 'Forcing the Pill'.
In fact, there is another name for the elixir formation stage, which is the golden elixir stage.
But the reason why the monks prefer to call this stage the elixir formation stage.
This is because what monks do at this stage is actually similar to the elixir forming part of alchemy.
If each spiritual root is compared to medicinal materials, then the process of breaking through the foundation-building stage and the elixir-forming stage is like the step of fusing Chinese medicinal materials into elixirs.
When a single spiritual root is fused to form a pill, a single attribute is outstanding.
Other attributes will be greatly suppressed, reaching the point of forced fusion.
It's quite a bit like a bully trying to force his bow.
But someone like Lu Yuan, who has a balanced distribution of spiritual roots and qualifications, is obviously unable to achieve the step of "the overlord forcefully applies the bow".
Because every time he absorbs a piece of spiritual power, the spiritual power will be distributed to each spiritual root.
Let all spiritual roots develop in a balanced manner, without distinction between strong and weak.
Although the golden elixir fused in this way will be more powerful.
But the difficulty of fusion has also doubled.
If the difficulty of forming an elixir with a single spiritual root is one, then the difficulty of forming an elixir with two spiritual roots is two.
The difficulty of three spiritual roots is four, and so on...the difficulty of six spiritual roots is thirty-two!
In other words, Lu Yuan cultivated the acquired wind spirit root.
If he wants to break through the elixir formation stage, it will be thirty-two times more difficult than that of a monk with a single spiritual root!
Not even one of a hundred monks in the foundation-building stage can successfully form an elixir.
Not to mention the difficulty has been increased thirty-two times.
Han Yuanshan, who understood this, looked at Lu Yuan with eyes full of sympathy.
He felt that this disciple must also have known that there was no hope of forming a pill with his five spiritual roots.
I simply broke the pot and chose the path of no return by cultivating more acquired spiritual roots and enhancing my strength in the foundation building period.
And Lu Yuan is not the first person to do this.
In history, many monks with insufficient talent would eventually choose this path.
It's just that they can't condense the acquired spiritual roots infinitely.
Because acquired spiritual roots will not allow you to acquire more spiritual root qualifications out of thin air, but will enrich your initial spiritual root qualifications.
In addition, people who would originally choose this path of no return are themselves people with insufficient spiritual qualifications.
If their acquired spiritual roots have been practiced too much.
Then they might not even have the ability to cultivate their acquired spiritual roots to the foundation-building stage.
Looking at Lu Yuan's 'pitiful' eyes, Han Yuanshan suddenly had the heart to say no.
Although he, a new disciple, has outstanding alchemy talent, his cultivation talent is also really poor.
Although alchemists do not attach great importance to cultivation, some powerful elixirs cannot be refined without sufficient cultivation.
Therefore, the future achievements of his disciple will be, at most, barely refining some pill-forming elixirs that do not require high levels of cultivation.
In terms of cultivation, the foundation building period is almost over.
Fellow practitioners of the Six Spiritual Roots were almost destined to have no hope of forming a pill for Lu Yuan.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Yuan's request was indeed not too excessive.
An extra spiritual root in the Foundation Establishment Stage will give him one more life-saving ability during the Foundation Establishment Stage, and also allow him to live longer.
Does he want the blood of the wind demon king now?
He just wants to give his future a little more hope...
Does he, as the master, want to deprive his disciples of their last hope?
Thinking of this, Han Yuanshan finally relented.
"Okay, then my teacher promises you."
"As long as you can refine the Qi Condensing Pill within a year, I will get you a drop of the blood essence of the Wind Demon King."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan said excitedly: "Disciple, thank you Master!"
"Okay, okay, you will stay here this year and help me take care of the herbs while learning to refine the Qi Condensing Pill."
"The herbs for refining the Qi Condensing Pill are among them, you can get them yourself."
"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your senior brother Bai."
"He got started earlier than you and knows more than you."
"When your senior brother Bai comes back, you can ask him for more advice."
"If there is any problem that even he can't solve, you can come to me again."
"If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Disciple sends you respectful greetings to your master."
Han Yuanshan gave Lu Yuan a complicated look one last time, then sighed and walked out of the medicine garden.
A drop of blood essence from the wind demon king.
Since when did the gift given to the introductory disciples reach the level of a drop of blood essence of the wind demon king...
In the end, Han Yuanshan left completely with a burst of physical pain.
And when Han Yuanshan left completely, Lu Yuan could only face the direction he left and apologize secretly in his heart.
I'm sorry, Master, although I really don't want to play this kind of moral kidnapping.
But disciple, I... really need the blood essence of this wind demon king.
But Master, you can rest assured that this will definitely be the last time I kidnap you morally, disciple.
Disciple will never trick you like this again!
After apologizing, Lu Yuan, who had no morals, suddenly thought of it.
Master just said that the herbs for refining the Qi Condensing Pill are all here.
Obviously he agreed to use the herbs here to make elixirs.
But he didn't seem to say that I can only use the herbs used to refine the Qi Condensing Pill!
Um……
It didn’t say, it just works!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
There are so many precious medicinal herbs, but they are not much more moisturizing than that of the Dream Demon Girl!
I'm sorry, Master. In addition to my disciple's great need for the blood essence of the Wind Demon King, I also seem to be in great need of these medicinal herbs!
Wuliang Lu seemed to have forgotten that just a second ago, he had just said in his heart that he would never cheat his master again.
