Chapter seven hundred and twentieth: Thousand-hand Dan King
As if seeing Qingyang's doubts, Duanmusong said directly: "Fellow Taoist Qingyang will definitely be doubting in his heart. It's just an alchemy book and it's completely foreign. Why should they take such a big risk? In fact, this
It’s a long story.”
"Is there something hidden in this?" Qingyang asked.
Duanmusong nodded and said: "This starts with the origin of our Wucheng Island. Wucheng Island was not originally called Wucheng Island, but was called Danwang Island. About hundreds of years ago, the Zhongsha Island came out
There is a very famous alchemy master, known as the Thousand-Hand Alchemy King. The Alchemy King is extremely skilled in the art of Yuan Dan. The elixirs he refines are not only coveted by Golden Dan monks, but also praised by Yuanying monks."
Under normal circumstances, only those with a success rate of more than 30% in refining pulse-opening level elixirs can be called a pulse-opening alchemist, and those with a success rate of more than 30% in refining qi-refining level elixirs are called qi-refining alchemists.
Only those with a success rate of more than 30% of basic-level elixirs can be considered a foundation-building alchemy master. Now Qingyang's alchemy skills, if only the herbal elixir technique, have already surpassed that of ordinary foundation-building alchemy masters.
The next level up from the Foundation Establishment Alchemist is the Golden Alchemist. Because it is extremely difficult to become a Golden Alchemist, and the Golden Alchemist is almost at the top level among alchemists, and their number is extremely rare, so the Golden Alchemist
Usually he is also called Alchemy King by monks, which means the King of Alchemy.
In the entire Jiuzhou Continent, there are no more than three people who can be called Alchemy Kings, and almost all of them are in Jinding Pavilion. Among them, Master Jade Hoe is the most popular. It is a pity that Master Jade Hoe died in Yinfeng Gorge. As for the alchemy masters of other sects
, even the director of the Qingfeng Palace Alchemy Institute, who is a senior foundation-building alchemist. Being able to be named a quasi-alchemy king is just a blessing in disguise.
Although the Thousand-Armed Pill King Duanmusong mentioned was exaggerated in his words, to be called the Pill King by everyone, there should be nothing doubtful about his mastery of Yuan Dan.
Following Qingyang's thoughts, Duanmu Song did not stop talking and continued: "The Thousand-Hand Pill King is amazingly talented in alchemy and is sought after by many forces in the Zhongsha Region. However, the Thousand-Hand Pill King has a weird personality, so he has to study the pill intensively.
He didn't like to interact with others. In order to avoid being disturbed by others when practicing alchemy, he moved his disciples to a remote island and practiced hard practice behind closed doors every day. The remote island was called Alchemy Island, that is,
Today’s Wucheng Island.”
"The Thousand-Hand Pill King has a total of five disciples, named Duanmu, Nangong, Ximen, Murong, and Baili. They are the ancestors of the five major families in Wucheng Island. My ancestor of the Duanmu family is the senior brother among them. The Thousand-Hand Pill King put his thoughts into
They were all used to study alchemy and did not pay much attention to the disciples' teachings, so the five disciples did not achieve much in their cultivation and all stopped at the foundation building stage."
"Because the Thousand-Hand Pill King moved to this island, some monks followed him one after another, so this desert island gradually became popular. So a hundred years after the Thousand-Hand Pill King, the five disciples simply stayed on
On this island, we renamed the island Wucheng Island."
"The most important thing the Thousand-Hand Pill King passed down to his five disciples is the first-hand alchemy technique. Due to limitations in their cultivation, all five of them can only be regarded as foundation-building alchemists. None of them has met the requirements of the Thousand-Hand Pill King. The Thousand-Hand Pill King is very
It’s a pity, so before he died, he arranged the Danwang Meeting on Danwang Mountain in the middle of the island. Only those who can pass the various tests can truly inherit his mantle.”
Duanmusong quickly told the story about Wucheng Island and the Alchemy King Society. Qingyang listened beside him and his heart was filled with excitement. Alchemy King Society? The mantle of the Alchemy King? If he had the chance to inherit the mantle of the Alchemy King.
, you no longer have to worry about alchemy in the future.
However, Qingyang also knew that it was impossible. As an outsider, how could he have the chance to participate in the Alchemy King Conference? Moreover, hundreds of years had passed, and no one from the five major families had passed the test of the Alchemy King. He had only learned Yuan Dan for more than a month.
How can a person with good skills pass the test?
Qingyang was curious and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with this Alchemy King?"
Duanmu Song said: "The Alchemy King Meeting is held every fifty years. Regardless of men, women, old or young, regardless of their level of cultivation, descendants of the five major families can participate without any restrictions. Since the first Alchemy King Meeting, it has been five or six years since then.
Over the past hundred years, the Alchemy King Meeting has been held eleven times."
"The five major families of Wucheng Island are all descendants of the Alchemy King, so their alchemy skills must be extraordinary. There should be quite a few who pass the test every time the Alchemy King meets, right?" Qingyang said.
Hearing Qingyang's words, Duanmusong shook his head and said: "On the contrary, except for the first Dan King Meeting, all five of Dan King's disciples passed the first level and stopped at the second level.
There are no more than three people who can pass the first level every time, especially in the recent Dan King meetings, there is often only one person who passes the first level, and sometimes even none."
Not even one? Is the test set by Danyang so difficult? Qingyang couldn't help but frowned, no wonder no one has been able to obtain the mantle of Thousand-Armed Dan King for hundreds of years.
Duanmusong knew Qingyang's thoughts, sighed and said: "Talent is one thing, the loss of alchemy is also another, and all kinds of accidents make it worse. The alchemy passed down by Thousand Hands Alchemy King was the same, only
My ancestor of the Duanmu family recorded the second volume of the True Explanation of Yuan Dan. The other four families all passed it on orally. Some of them had unexpected interruptions in the inheritance, and some were ignorant and did not ask for a thorough explanation. Gradually, the inheritance went awry, and in the end it was just this.
A book of Yuan Dan really explains the next volume."
Qingyang finally understood and said: "The alchemy skills of Ximen Ying and Murong Zhu have been lost, and they want to get good results in the Alchemy King Conference, and even get the true inheritance of the Thousand-Hand Alchemy King, so they will use any means
Is this the reason why we came to Duanmu’s house to seize it?”
Duanmu Song nodded and said: "That's pretty much the reason, but they also think of things too simply. It's true that my Duanmu family has the true solution to alchemy in the next volume, but how easy is it to master alchemy?
If I hadn’t had the foundation of the Duanmu family and had gone out to work and practice for a period of time when I was young, otherwise how could I have the alchemy skills I have today? They think about things too simply, thinking that if they grab the true solution to the alchemy skills, they can get thousands of
The mantle of the King of Hand Pills?"
"Human nature is like this. Sometimes it's hard to tell. Maybe people think they are gifted and their alchemy skills will improve by leaps and bounds after having the alchemy book. Maybe they are jealous of you and feel that they have a better chance of winning without a competitor." Qingyang
Said casually.
"A better chance of winning? There are three levels in the Alchemy King Association. Hundreds of years ago, the five disciples of the Alchemy King failed to pass the second level. Why does he think that he can succeed if he gets a true explanation of Yuan Dan? He took this elixir
Isn't Wang Hui's thinking too simple?" Duan Mu Song said angrily.
