The communication between the two went very smoothly.
Li Zibo used a set of techniques to hide his cultivation and exchanged them with Liu Jing for two bottles of elixirs, one offensive and defensive weapon, and a thick earth talisman.
After bidding farewell to Liu Jing, he walked for a while and then quietly asked: "Senior, I wonder what kind of opportunity Brother Liu will encounter."
The old guy said angrily: "I'm just an ancient monk, not an ancient immortal. How could I possibly guess this?"
"Senior is right." Li Zibo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"But even if an ordinary person encounters an opportunity, he can't compare to you. There are always ancient monks around you to be your teachers." The old guy said proudly.
"Senior's great kindness will be kept in mind by this junior." Li Zibo immediately said respectfully.
"Well, the best way to repay your kindness is to practice faster. The elixir your senior brother gave you, coupled with the exercises I taught you, I will try to break through to the 10th level of Qi refining within half a year."
"Senior, do I have to participate in the Blood Trial in five years?"
"Nonsense, how else are you going to get the Foundation Establishment Pill? In the intra-sect competition three years later, your strength at that time is basically no match for the top players in the same sect. If you don't participate in the Blood Trial, you can only wait for the competition 13 years later.
Okay, this has been too long."
Li Zibo still felt guilty: "I can't defeat those fellow sects in three years. How can I defeat the masters of the seven major sects in the bloody trial in five years?"
The old guy chuckled: "According to the progress of the skill I taught you, you will almost reach the peak of Qi refining in five years. At that time, I will teach you a few more powerful spells, which will allow you to have more power in the Bloody Forbidden Land.
The power of self-preservation.”
"Then it's up to you, Senior Lao."
…
Through various tricks, Liu Jing finally obtained the set of Qi-condensing techniques that he had dreamed of.
His long-planned plan of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" can finally be put on the schedule.
Liu Jing first made a summary of his own strength.
At the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, there is the Silver Needle Talisman and the killer Golden Needle Technique, and with his current mana thickness, he can use the "Thunderbolt Golden Needle Technique" twice during one spell cast.
The spell "Thousand Blades Technique" derived from the basic magic technique Thousand Blades Technique is also a very powerful metal spell.
As for offensive magic weapons, Liu Jing is not lacking either.
Some were given by their families, and some were purchased by themselves, including spears, knives, and iron balls.
There are also three landmines, one-time consumables, also given by the family.
With the top-grade body magic weapon, the Cloud-Stepping Boots, coupled with the ghostly Luo Yan Steps, even an immortal cultivator in the early stages of foundation building would dare to sneak attack and then run away.
3 pieces of mid-level spirit stones can be used to quickly restore mana when fighting enemies.
Then there are a lot of various elementary, low-level, and intermediate-level talismans, and you won't feel any pain at all if you throw them at your opponent.
The primary and high-level thick soil talisman and the large diamond talisman have already been placed in front of the body, and the automatic defense function is turned on. The defense effect is 11 greater than 2.
There are also two defensive weapons "double iron shields" with unique shapes like steel plates, which are also a means for Liu Jing to save his life.
I have done so much preparation work, so this bloody trial should be as smooth as possible, right?
…
For the remaining three months, Liu Jing stayed next to the Eye of Spiritual Spring, spending almost all his energy on refining the talisman.
With the Eye of the Spiritual Fountain, his ears and eyes are clear and his thoughts are clear. In addition, he has accumulated a lot of experience in making talismans, and his success rate continues to increase.
During this period, Liu Jing successively made some thick earth talismans and large diamond talismans.
Although Huang Maple Valley stipulates that disciples in the Qi refining period can only go out once a year without special reasons, this is obviously in vain for Liu Jing who carries the teleportation array with him.
He deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of the sect and sold these talismans one after another in the markets of Yellow Maple Valley.
Some of them are directly recycled by the "Alchemy Pavilion" in exchange for some "Qi Recovery Pills" that can instantly restore mana.
There were also some that Liu Jing sold by setting up a stall as a casual cultivator, earning a lot of spiritual stones and exchanging them for three more mid-level spiritual stones.
When fighting, the effectiveness of mid-level spiritual stones in restoring mana is much higher than that of low-level spiritual stones.
One day three months later, on a barren mountain on the border between the Yue Kingdom and the Yuanwu Kingdom, dozens of Huang Maple Valley disciples stood.
Their clothes were fluttering in the wind, and they were all young people. The youngest had just turned eighteen.
Liu Jing carefully observed these fellow disciples and found no suspicious people.
It seems that the mysterious god-transformation master Xiang Zhili has not yet arrived in Yellow Maple Valley, and the current timeline is still ten years before Old Devil Han comes to participate in the Blood Trial.
Standing at the front of the crowd was a man in his fifties who was not angry or intimidating.
This man had his hands behind his back, looking at the sky leisurely and motionless.
This person is Liu Jing's cheap master, Li Huayuan, the founder of alchemy in Huang Maple Valley.
It's just that this old guy's face is a little gloomy at the moment.
This is his first time leading a team to participate in the Blood Trial as a pill-forming monk.
At first, only Liu Jing signed up. Li Huayuan was a little surprised and didn't think too much, but then Yu Kun and Shen Bing signed up for the Blood Trial one after another. Maybe they had a cramp in their heads.
He has only been practicing alchemy for more than 20 years and has not formally accepted any disciples. He only has these three nominal disciples.
Although Li Zibo, a descendant of Li Huayuan's family, was also his registered disciple, this guy's Five Spiritual Root qualifications were basically hopeless, so he was naturally excluded by this old guy.
"My three most promising disciples for foundation building have all signed up for the Scarlet Trial?" Li Huayuan suddenly felt very worried.
Don't these three young men know that the survival rate in the Blood Trial is only one-quarter? They simply don't know how high the sky is.
Liu Jing, it must be this sly little naughty guy who bewitched the loyal and honest Yu Kun and Shen Bing!
What a traitor, what a traitor! The more he looked at Liu Jing, the more displeased he became.
Liu Jing was already thoughtful, and when he saw Li Huayuan's face, he guessed what he was thinking, and a bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"Old man, I just said that the success rate of a Foundation Establishment Pill is too low. The next inner sect competition will have to wait for three years, and these two stupid young people have thought of participating in the Blood Trial."
Can you blame me for this?
I am really the number one blame scapegoat in Yellow Maple Valley.
Today, Yu Kun and Shen Bing are still hovering at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. If they don't have the best magic weapons or talismans to protect themselves, they can't be too wasteful.
Liu Jing simply walked to the corner. Since the old man didn't give him a good look, he chose to stay out of sight.
At this time, Li Huayuan waved his sleeves and summoned a giant boat, floating in the sky.
When these disciples saw this scene, they almost all exclaimed in surprise.
However, Liu Jing's heart moved: "So the old man probably hasn't got the cool silver python in the original work yet."
