After Xiao Lin returned to Taoyuan Island, he began to live in seclusion again.
Every two or three months, Xiao Lin will go to the surrounding fairy cities to purchase spiritual grass seedlings or finished products.
Of course, the most important purpose is to acquire various auxiliary elixirs for refining body refining elixirs.
The True Blood of the Ancestral Demon, after Xiao Lin thought about it for a period of time and browsed through a large number of elixir prescriptions he had collected, he finally selected a spiritual elixir - the Nine Turns Blood and Bone elixir.
There are two main ingredients for this elixir, one is the blood essence of monsters, and the other is an elixir called blood blue star grass.
Xiao Lin had seen this blood-blue star grass in a trading company. It was found in large numbers in this sea of stars and grew on many overseas spiritual islands.
The Blood Blue Star Grass that Xiao Lin needs must be over three thousand years old, so there are relatively few of it.
The most important thing is the blood blue star grass, which is the main material for refining the body-refining elixir. It is also consumed in a relatively large amount in the Star Sea area. Moreover, Xiao Lin has learned that this type of body-refining elixir is not available in this desert.
The sea is basically monopolized by Xiaodanshan.
Blood-blue star grass from several large trading houses were also reserved, causing Xiao Lin to return without success several times.
In the past few months, Xiao Lin had only collected a few blood-blue star grasses that were more than 3,000 years old. This amount was far from enough to meet his alchemy needs.
The rest of the auxiliary materials have been collected, and now all that is left is the Blood Blue Star Grass.
At this time, Xiao Lin thought of Xiaodan Mountain and the inner sect elder Xue Lingshan of Xiaodan Mountain. At present, the Blood Blue Star Grass in the entire Desolate Sea was basically acquired by Xiaodan Mountain. He wanted to find a sufficient quantity.
I'm afraid I'll have to buy some spiritual herbs through Xiaodanshan.
A flash of inspiration appeared in Xiao Lin's hand, and a simple token appeared, which was given to Xiao Lin by Xue Lingshan before she left.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also thought of the ancient elixir conference held every ten years in Xiaodan Mountain.
Because he was busy practicing, Xiao Lin actually forgot about this matter. According to the time of Xue Lingshan's previous conversation with him, it seems that the latest ancient elixir conference is about to be held.
I have nothing urgent to do at the moment, but I can go and participate. After all, as an alchemist, Xiao Lin is very much looking forward to discussing and communicating with many alchemy experts.
Xiaodanshan is a human sect in this deserted sea, and it still feels somewhat familiar to Xiao Lin.
A few days later, a ray of light soared into the sky from the Misty Immortal Valley.
The Bing Wing tribesmen on Taoyuan Island were already familiar with this. She just said to Nan Nan, "The Immortal Envoy is out again." and continued her work.
Xiaodan Mountain is located millions of miles north of Baidi Immortal City. It is composed of a group of islands. The largest island is located in the center of the island group and has a radius of several thousand miles.
The surrounding area is dotted with hundreds of large and small islands, the small ones are only a few dozen miles in radius, and the large ones are thousands of miles in radius.
The largest island is called Bixin Island. There is a continuous mountain range on the island, the highest peak of which is Xiaodan Mountain.
Under this Bixin Island, there is a first-order fairy spirit vein. In comparison, the four human regions located in the Beitian Broken Realm are much more aggrieved. There is not even a fairy spirit vein in the dignified human territory.
.
It is precisely because of the existence of this first-order fairy spirit vein that Bixin Island is covered with exotic flowers and grasses, and towering ancient trees are extremely lush. Strange mountains and deep valleys can be seen everywhere. Several large rivers are centered on Xiaodan Mountain, flowing in all directions.
It extends out and finally merges into the sea.
When Xiao Lin first came to the sky above Bixin Island, he actually felt familiar. The Tianlu Mountains back then were also beautiful, like a fairy mountain holy land.
It's just that the spiritual energy on Bixin Island is much richer than that of the Tianlu Mountains in the mortal world. It can even be said that it is not on the same level at all.
And from a distance, Xiao Lin saw streaks of escaping light traveling through the mountains and forests on the island, and their destination seemed to be the same, which was the only fairy city on Bixin Island - Biling Fairy City.
Biling Fairy City is located on the edge of the island, backed by a large mountain, and facing endless waves of the ocean.
The gate of the city also faces the direction of the sea. It is a square paved with stones that is dozens of acres in size. At this moment, a famous cultivator fell on the square. After condensing his escape, he headed towards the city.
This Biling Fairy City is the largest fairy city selling elixirs in the entire Desolate Sea. There are many shops selling elixirs in the city, accounting for 70 to 80% of all shops.
Here, you can even buy sixth-level or even seventh-level elixirs. However, elixirs of this level are very rare even in Bilingxian City. Not only are they expensive, but they also require certain relationships.
Can be purchased.
Xiao Lin pressed the escape light and landed at the gate of the fairy city.
In order not to cause a lot of trouble, Xiao Lin suppressed his own realm to the early stage of the Golden Core, while most of the surrounding immortal cultivators were in the realm of the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Among them, the number of people cultivating immortals in the foundation building stage is the largest, followed by the golden elixir stage, and the number of immortal cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage is the smallest. Moreover, Xiao Lin also observed that most of these cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are actually demon cultivators.
It is a fact that demon cultivators are not good at refining elixirs, but it does not mean that they do not have such needs. On the contrary, many sects and even ethnic groups of the demon clan will regularly come to Bilingxian City to purchase elixirs.
Moreover, the quantity and price of spirit stones are extremely astonishing, but Xiao Lin can also understand that after the demon clan transforms, the demon power in the body begins to gradually transform. If you take spiritual pills to assist in cultivation, the speed of cultivation can be greatly increased.
Compared with the human race, although the demon clan has a longer lifespan, their advancement is also very slow. For example, a human monk can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in a few hundred years under normal circumstances, while the demon clan may need several years.
Thousands of years, or even longer.
If we can get the assistance of spiritual pills, this time can be shortened a lot. Of course, compared to human monks, it is still much longer.
When he arrived at the city gate, Xiao Lin was stopped by the guards. After paying ten low-grade spiritual stones, he was able to enter the fairy city.
The entrance fee to the Jade Spirit Fairy City is indeed a bit high, and it is more in line with the style of the human fairy city.
Xiao Lin followed the flow of people and entered the fairy city. He immediately saw a bustling scene. There were shops on both sides of the street. Most of the items sold in these shops were related to elixirs, either elixirs, elixirs, or elixirs.
They are finished elixirs, and some shops even sell some elixir-making tips.
Xiao Lin came to a shop.
"Baodan Tower?"
Xiao Lin glanced at the plaque on the door of the shop. Some of the shop's items were placed directly outside the shop. As if he saw Xiao Lin coming to the shop, a middle-aged monk who was somewhat blessed immediately walked out.
"What does this customer want to buy? Our Baodan Pavilion has all kinds of elixirs, medicinal materials, elixir prescriptions and elixir refining experience. It basically covers everything from first-level elixirs to fourth-level elixirs, and it is the Baodan Sect.
Direct supply, our store is also Baodan Sect’s first partner in Biling Fairy City.”
Before Xiao Lin could speak, the middle-aged monk's mouth started speaking like a flood.
"Bao Dan Sect?" Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard the name. He had never heard of this sect.
However, on the way to Biling Fairy City, Xiao Lin also passed by several large and small fairy cities, and also inquired a little about Xiaodan Mountain on Bixin Island.
It turns out that although Xiaodan Mountain is a sect, this is true, but on Bixin Island, there are countless sects, large and small, that are cultivating families who make a living by refining alchemy.
There are at least hundreds of them, and Xiaodanshan is the official leader and the number one alchemy force on Bixin Island, controlling more than 30% of the entire elixir business on Bixin Island.
This Baodan Sect should be one of the hundreds of forces in Xiao Lin's mind.
Xiao Lin didn't know who was bigger or smaller among these hundreds of forces.
So Xiao Lin nodded noncommittally, smiled and said, "I'll take a look first."
After saying that, Xiao Lin picked up a book [Detailed Explanation of Alchemy], opened it and started browsing.
In less than a cup of tea, Xiao Lin put down this book [Detailed Explanation of Alchemy]. The introduction in this book is very superficial, and there are many mistakes. If you follow the method in it to refine the elixir, you will be successful.
The rate is probably less than 10%.
This made Xiao Lin a little confused. Several errors in this [Detailed Explanation of Alchemy] were very low-level. According to his understanding, any immortal cultivator who had some experience in alchemy would be able to find the problems in it.
Xiao Lin did not voice this question, but picked up another [Alchemy Notes] and read it.
Xiao Lin soon put it down again, and then looked at the spiritual medicinal materials and several pill recipes that he had come out.
After watching for a while, Xiao Lin left the [Baodan Building] and casually walked into the second store...
Half a day passed quickly.
Xiao Lin found a random inn in the city and stayed in it.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Lin showed some doubts on his face. For most of the day, he had been wandering around various shops in the fairy city. He was surprised to find that the alchemy tips and prescriptions sold in these shops were basically the same.
wrong.
There are relatively few mistakes in elixir recipes, but some of the mistakes in alchemy experience are even outrageous.
This was obviously intentional. Xiao Lin couldn't figure out why these shops did this? Isn't this a way to cut off their own financial resources?
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Lin still couldn't figure it out, so he let it go for the time being.
In the next few days, Xiao Lin only spent half of his time wandering around the fairy city, and he mainly looked for finished elixirs and spiritual herb materials. As for the elixir refining experience, elixir recipes, etc., he didn't even touch them.
Although these alchemy tips, elixir prescriptions, etc. are full of errors, Xiao Lin also has a surprise, that is, in the Jade Spirit Fairy City, there are many high-level spiritual grass seedlings for sale.
The human race is good at refining alchemy, and is also good at cultivating spiritual grass. However, since life span is much shorter than that of the demon race, few human monks will spend thousands or even thousands of years cultivating spiritual grass.
Therefore, only a few demon monks would buy the spiritual grass seedlings sold in the Biling Fairy City. This was an advantage for Xiao Lin. If he had known that there were many spiritual grass seedlings for sale in the Biling Fairy City, Xiao Lin would have come here long ago.
Already.
There are still more than three months left before the Ancient Pill Conference. Before Xiao Lin goes to the Ancient Pill Conference, in addition to regular practice every day, he searches for elixir seedlings in major shops in the fairy city.
He collected them all from the fourth level and above, but Xiao Lin soon discovered a pattern. The higher the level of elixir seedlings on the market, the more they were, and the lower the level, the rarer.
After some understanding, Xiao Lincai finally got the answer. It turns out that fourth-level elixirs are usually cultivated for about a thousand years and can be used to refine elixirs.
Fifth-level elixirs require two to three thousand years of medicinal age before they can be used to make elixirs. As for sixth-level elixirs, they usually require a maturity period of three thousand years. Not only that, but after the maturity period, they also need one to two thousand years of maturation period. Calculating from
It will take at least four to five thousand years to cultivate it until it is mature and can be used to make elixirs.
After such a long time, even the demon monks are not willing to spend time cultivating it.
Especially the seventh-level elixir, which takes an incredible ten thousand years. The number of seventh-level elixirs that appear on the market is not large, but strangely, no one cares about it.
Xiao Lin was naturally overjoyed. This seventh-level spiritual grass can be used to refine the seventh-level spiritual elixir used by monks in the integration stage. With his current state, he can already take a small amount of the seventh-level elixir with mild effects.
Moreover, with the current ripening ability of the spirit tree space, the ratio with the time outside can basically reach one to five hundred. A sixth-level spiritual grass only needs about ten years to reach full maturity. Even a seventh-level spiritual grass can reach full maturity.
Grass, it only takes about twenty years.
This little time is nothing to Xiao Lin.
As long as he has enough spiritual elixir, Xiao Lin is confident that he can reach the Fusion Realm within a few hundred years.
But soon, Xiao Lin encountered a rather embarrassing scene. It turned out that his spiritual stone was about to bottom out.
Originally, he was quite wealthy, but after practicing the Inverted Yin-Yang Heaven-locking Formation, most of his spiritual stones were consumed. Later, he collected spiritual grass seedlings everywhere, and now they have basically spent them all.
Of course, Xiao Lin still has many rare materials on hand, all of which he obtained from the Tomb of the Ancestral Demons. Each of them can be sold at a high price outside.
However, Xiao Lin was cautious and did not offer it for sale.
In this Bilingxian City, the only few auctions are mainly for elixirs. Several large trading houses similar to Zhongshengzhai have never been seen in this Bilingxian City.
Even if you take it out, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it at a good price.
After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Lin temporarily stopped purchasing elixir seedlings. He would return to Baidi Immortal City in the future and sell some rare materials before making another trip.
On this day, Xiao Lin woke up from trance and left the inn.
The address of the Gudan Conference is located in a valley at the foot of Xiaodan Mountain.
After Xiao Lin left Biling Fairy City, he unfolded his escape light and headed towards Xiaodan Mountain.
Along the way, Xiao Lin saw a lot of escaping lights, and looking in the same direction, they should all be heading to attend the Ancient Pill Conference.
But soon Xiao Lin discovered a strange phenomenon. There were a lot of demon cultivators in Bilingxian City, and there were even many cultivators of other races. But on the way to Xiaodan Mountain, Xiao Lin turned out to be a foreign cultivator.
I have never seen a single human race.
Could it be said that this Gudan Conference is just a grand gathering among human monks?
