It was early morning, and morning dew still hung on the branches peeking through the window.
Long Wenmu woke up from his sleep and yawned hard on the bed.
Yesterday, the second round ended. That night, everyone from the Yunxuan Sect held a banquet at the residence. As the parties involved, he and Ye Lan participated in it and were the core of the banquet. During the period, the atmosphere was hilarious and toasts were kept.
I was in such good shape that when I got home at night, I fell asleep.
Seeing that it was still early, he straightened up his appearance, shook his still somewhat groggy head, and walked out of the yard leisurely.
"Senior Brother Long, you're up so early!" Many well-behaved female disciples passed by in front of them. When they saw Long Wenmu, they all lowered their eyebrows and looked shy.
Long Wenmu raised his eyebrows calmly: "Have you seen Ye Lan?"
"Ah! Senior brother is asking Junior Sister Yelan. Wasn't Junior Sister in Senior Brother's room last night? It's a shame, Senior Brother, you have to stay alone in the empty room." All the girls couldn't stop giggling.
"Go, go, go." Long Wenmu quickly coaxed away the bunch of playful and smiling girls, none of them serious.
After her ears calmed down, she originally wanted to find Ye Lan first, but after thinking about it, she didn't want to disturb her. In the past few days before the third round begins, let her rest up.
While his thoughts were ups and downs, a shout came from the distance, and a figure was seen flying from a distance.
Before anyone arrived, the word "brother" was already heard, with a long and lingering ending.
It's Murphy.
During the Dan Meeting, Murphy had been living nearby. After all, among all the people, he was the most familiar with Long Wenmu.
The people had already arrived in front of Long Wenmu, and everyone put their hands on Long Wenmu's shoulders: "Brother, you got up early in the morning, which means you didn't sleep well. Looking at your haggard face, I guess you are lovesick.
The suffering."
Long Wenmu squinted his eyes and said, "Get out!"
Once the relationship becomes familiar, bickering and fighting are inevitable, and besides, Murphy has never been a serious type of person.
He punched Long Wenmu's chest twice: "It's too boring for you to stay in the room before the grand party. Let's go, let me go and hang out."
Long Wenmu thought that this guy's nerves were not in the right place, but he was still dragged out by Mo Fei without warning. After leaving the Yunxuan Sect's residence, he headed towards the lively streets.
These markets were all temporarily opened during the Danhui Festival. Taking advantage of the grand event, they were very lively. In normal times, you would not see such enthusiasm.
It's still early in the morning, and there's already a lot of noise. Huge crowds of people are walking through, and a dazzling array of shops are lined up.
Long Wenmu and Mo Fei walked side by side on the street, taking in all the prosperity, and even their moods gradually merged into this heat and chaos.
Long Wenmu just walked around and looked around, while Mo Fei made a lot of purchases. He was already rich, and his ability to lose money was also first-class.
After wandering around for almost an hour, the two came to a teahouse, went up to the rooftop, and chose a seat with a good view to sit down. A beautiful woman served them tea and cakes.
"The Alchemy Festival is great. If it weren't for this grand event, there wouldn't be such a lively time." Murphy put the snacks in his mouth, nodded and commented.
Long Wenmu felt the same and nodded in agreement.
We chatted some more about family issues.
"By the way, how is that girl doing in Yelan? Have you finished studying the alchemy books I gave you?" Murphy asked casually.
"I'm studying all the alchemy books you gave me, but it's still early to finish." Long Wenmu didn't take it seriously and said casually, "She studies very diligently, but she just likes to be in a daze lately."
"In a daze? That means you have something on your mind, which means Linglong Danxin is working." Murphy said firmly.
"You mean Linglong Danxin?"
During the second round of the Tian Xiang Qian Kun Tu, Yelan would read the "Linglong Alchemy Heart" from time to time, but it was a book on cultivating the mind, and Long Wenmu could not help.
Ever since he started studying Linglong Danxin, Ye Lan always seems to be lost in thought for no reason at times, and he doesn't know what the reason is... 5
"Linglong Danxin is a mental method whose purpose is to improve people's
The state of mind. The difficulty of spiritual practice is to sort out the frustrations in people’s hearts.”
"Frustration?"
"Just think of it as overcoming inner demons. The method of cultivating the mind is different from the ordinary method. If the state of mind is clear, the exquisite state of mind will be self-contained. But if there is too much depression in the heart, there may be no achievements in ten or eight years.
I see that the girl is quite cheerful on weekdays, and as long as she doesn’t have too many worries, she can usually practice quickly." Murphy added.
Are you worried? Yelan used to be so carefree. At least in Long Wenmu's opinion, she shouldn't have much trouble.
As long as you don't have too much burden on your heart, learning Linglong Alchemy will just come naturally. If your mind is firm, you may be able to achieve something in ten and a half months.
The two ordered another pot of tea, sipped cakes, blew the breeze, and looked at the sea of people below, feeling quite comfortable.
"There's something I want to tell you sometime." Murphy combed his hair with his crumb-stained hands, his cheeks bulging.
"What's up?"
"I won't tell you now. I will tell you after the alchemy meeting is over. Anyway, it is an important matter."
Long Wenmu only thought that this guy was probably too idle, otherwise there would be no point in selling it for no reason.
The two of them talked about the Dan Club and the competition again.
Speaking of Ye Lan, Mo Fei said that Ye Lan can roughly rank in the top ten based on his strength, but it is basically impossible to compete for the top three.
When Murphy expressed his opinion, Long Wenmu noticed for the first time that his eyes were quite vicious, which was completely consistent with Dao Ran's evaluation.
"Time is a little tight, but if she can cultivate Linglong Danxin before the third round, she can try to compete for the top five." Murphy raised his hand and shook it.
"What if I can't cultivate it?"
"Then it will be difficult to compete for the top five." Murphy said again. After a pause, "I know you want to compete for the first place, but that girl is not ready yet."
Long Wenmu was silent while drinking tea. He knew this kind of thing better than anyone else.
Ye Lan has only been learning alchemy for a long time. It would be quite remarkable to achieve the top five results in a grand event like the Alchemy Fair. As for first place, Long Wenmu didn't dare to hope for it.
Mo Fei squinted at him with a half-smile, as if he had read his mind. He shook the tea cup and joked: "Stop being so sad. Who can show you a sad face? As the saying goes, if you smile, it will take ten years for me."
I just like to laugh, look how young I am."
He glanced sideways, feeling that Long Wenmu didn't react much, so he paused and said: "Hey, don't be too pessimistic, what should I tell you... Although we can't win the first place now, it doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do.
None. There are still a few days until the third round. If you really want to, there is hope..."
"What did you mean just now?" Long Wenmu's eyes narrowed and he turned his head.
Mo Fei sometimes speaks out and makes jokes, but at critical moments, he is always very serious.
He said... there is hope?
"Do you have any idea?" Long Wenmu asked hurriedly.
The biggest difficulty now is that Ye Lan is unable to compete for the first place. We can only hope that Mo Liusu and others can win the first place. But this feeling of placing hope on others is always uncomfortable.
Murphy grinned: "If there is no other way, I won't mention this to you. Let's talk about it first. You owe me one more favor."
"Let's talk and listen first." Long Wenmu didn't want to listen to his nonsense. Anyway, he already owed a lot to him, so he didn't have to worry about the debt.
Mo Fei knew that he had made up his mind, so he no longer played off, and his expression became serious: "The third round is approaching, learn step by step, and it is unreasonable to want to improve. So if you want that girl to improve, you just need to use external forces."
"External force?" Of course Long Wenmu also thought of using external force. What kind of external force can be used?
Like before, why not get an imperial elixir that enhances soul power? Such precious items as imperial elixirs are hard to come by. In fact, during the elixir fair, even if they were available, they would have been sold out long ago.
It's your turn?
Techniques and other techniques require time to accumulate, and of course they cannot be achieved quickly. The rest, unless they are assisted by some rare treasures. But those things are not so easy to find.
"What are you referring to?" Long Wenmu asked with a slight frown.
Mo Fei stared at him mysteriously: "You are just a fan of the authorities. Some things may be in you, but you don't know it."
Long Wenmu's brows tightened: "Please explain more clearly."
Mo Fei gently put down the tea cup, with some doubts in his eyes: "Looking at your reaction, do you really don't know? Then I might as well ask you again, what are you and the people from the major alchemy sects doing in the second round of competition?
Fighting so hard? What on earth could make you so crazy?"
Like a thunderbolt, Long Wenmu was shocked and confused: "You mean - spiritual roots?"
When they first encountered the spiritual root, Hua Yongzhou and others went crazy and wanted to take it for themselves. At this moment, they suddenly remembered that Mo Liusu seemed to have mentioned that the spiritual root seemed to have a special effect on the alchemist.
"How much do you know about spiritual roots?" Mo Fei asked.
"Things that nourish the origin." Long Wenmu answered truthfully. He heard this from Mo Liusu.
Murphy nodded.
"You who are participating in the alchemy meeting are all people no older than sixty years old. Maybe you are just fighting because of the preciousness of spiritual roots. But I can tell you that the value of spiritual roots is far more than that." Murphy said solemnly.
, "Most of the old guys from the major sects know about it, but those people all have their own selfish motives, and they all want their sect to win, so naturally they won't tell you the beauty of it easily."
Long Wenmu listened carefully: "Then what is the use of this spiritual root?"
Daoran once reminded that the preciousness of spiritual roots would make all cultivators jealous.
Hua Yongzhou and others desperately want to snatch the spiritual root. Will this spiritual root be helpful in refining alchemy?
Listening to Mo Fei's tone, whether Ye Lan can improve his alchemy skills again depends entirely on his spiritual roots.
"Moisturize the origin, what is the origin? The origin is the foundation of all living things." Mo Fei shrugged and asked himself, "The way of alchemy, to put it simply, is to fuse the essences of spiritual things with each other. But this is just
The most advanced method of alchemy, the truly advanced alchemy, requires the mobilization of spirituality. And this process tests the ability to control the roots of spiritual things."
Long Wenmu didn't know much about alchemy, so he could only listen to his explanation in silence.
"If you don't understand, let me give you an example." Murphy patted the table and said in a measured tone, "For example, if you use a knife, many knife skills are confusing to use, but what is the essence of knife skills? They are nothing more than stabbing and chopping.
It's just a few simple movements, so as long as you can understand and think through this principle, it won't be a problem to practice any complicated sword technique in the future."
"The same principle applies to alchemy. If an alchemist can clearly perceive the origin of various medicinal materials, it will be twice the result with half the effort when refining elixirs. As for how to sense the origin, it depends on the spiritual root you have obtained."
Long Wenmu roughly understood what he meant: "So the spiritual root can allow the alchemist to improve his understanding in this regard?"
Mo Fei nodded with a smile and drank the tea in the cup: "That's right. A wisp of spiritual thread is enough to improve the alchemy master of Ye Yatou's level. If you want Ye Yatou to improve in a short time, this is the only thing.
It belongs!"
Long Wenmu couldn't help but fist his hands, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart.
I didn't even have hope for first place, but who would have thought that there would be such a trick.
If what Mo Fei said is true, Ye Lan's alchemy skills will definitely improve in a short period of time. According to Mo Fei, a wisp of spiritual thread is enough to improve Ye Lan, and he has a whole
If the roots of spiritual veins were cultivated without hesitation of resources, how much progress would Yelan have made!
If Murphy hadn't told him about this, he would have been completely unaware of it. Presumably others would not have told him this secret easily. After all, no matter how holy people are, they will have selfish motives, and they will all be competitors in the alchemy meeting.
Before today, Long Wenmu could only place his hope on others. But now he saw a completely different path. Since there was a clear path in front of him, of course he couldn't miss it.
The remaining time is either long or short. As long as we make good use of these last few days, I believe it will be enough to make a huge difference in Ye Lan.
This change will determine the final result. Success or failure all depends on this move
