Often among the tens of thousands of monks in the foundation-building stage, there may not be anyone who can successfully condense the elixir.
With such a small number, naturally not many people would go to the Spiritual Medicine Mountain to refine elixirs.
It is almost impossible for Lin Xuan to improve his cultivation by collecting waste elixirs, purifying them, and taking them. It is almost impossible to rely purely on medicinal power.
what to do?
It's not that Lin Xuan didn't think carefully, but even with his intelligence, he couldn't come up with a solution.
Of course, it’s not necessarily true that there is absolutely no way.
Lin Xuan once read many ancient books. It is said that there is an ancient elixir that has the effect of rebirth. After taking it, ordinary mortals can have the spiritual roots to cultivate immortality.
Of course, this kind of spiritual root is usually of extremely poor quality.
But compared to the system of a mortal like myself, it is already infinitely better. At least then, practicing hard would not be as ineffective as it is now. Even if you take the elixir more slowly, your cultivation speed will not be much slower.
You must know that as the young master of the Spiritual Medicine Mountain, Lin Xuan can still get some useless pills to increase his cultivation, but he can't take them as sugar pills in large quantities.
This ancient elixir has such a long history that even its name has been forgotten. Lin Xuan also found records about it in a broken jade tube slip.
It is said that this medicine was created by an amazingly talented ancient monk three million years ago.
The senior himself had very profound cultivation, but by chance, he fell in love with an ordinary mortal woman.
Cultivation as an immortal does not mean being heartless. Dual cultivation is also very normal, but the prerequisite is that the two people are Taoist couples. It can be said that such a thing is very rare for a cultivator to fall in love with a mortal.
Not to mention that the senior is still a monk in the Nascent Soul stage.
But love is a wonderfully tight thing. Once you fall into it, you can't extricate yourself. The senior doesn't care about the difference in status between the two. But there is a natural problem in front of them.
As a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, your lifespan can be at least eight hundred years, and even a thousand years is quite normal.
But how long can a mortal woman live? Eighty years, or a hundred years. For a monk, this time is just a blink of an eye.
The most painful thing in the world is to watch the one you love slowly grow old and pass away. There is nothing you can do about it.
Although in theory, it is possible to cultivate without spiritual roots, the progress is extremely slow and almost useless. Lin Xuan has the Blue Star Sea, which is completely an exception.
However, that senior's intelligence was indeed unprecedented and unprecedented. Lin Xuan speculated that his alchemy skills were probably better than those of Tianchen.
He spent a long time in seclusion and thought hard, and spent three years finally developing a magical elixir that defied the heavens. After taking it, mortals can gain the spiritual roots of immortal cultivators.
It is said that when this medicine came out, it almost caused an unprecedented shock in the world of cultivation. Various sects and old cultivators were all extremely interested. However, this enthusiasm came and went quickly. There was no other reason.
Soon, Da Furniture discovered that although this medicine was miraculous, it was useless.
First of all, it is only effective for mortals. At the beginning, the reason why various sects paid attention to it was because they had a thought. Since mortals can develop spiritual roots after taking it, will those monks who take it have their own spiritual roots?
The quality of the roots has been improved to a higher level.
It turned out that this idea was purely an extravagant hope. A sect spent a lot of hard work and finally obtained this spiritual elixir. It was used by its disciples, but the result was neither good nor bad, and had no effect at all. I wanted to upgrade my spiritual root.
The desire for quality has come true.
If this were just the case, there would still be many sects interested in this elixir.
After all, among mortals, the proportion of those with spiritual roots is too small and difficult to find, which makes recruiting disciples an extremely troublesome task every time.
Now that we have this elixir, as long as mortals take it, they can be accepted into the sect. However, soon, the wishes of each sect were once again frustrated.
After taking the elixir, ordinary people will indeed have spiritual roots. However, the quality of the spiritual roots is appalling. Being able to build a foundation is considered a high price, and most of them can only linger in the spiritual stage throughout their lives.
The so-called essence is not expensive. Recruiting such disciples will have no use at all in increasing the strength of the sect. Now if we just want to expand the scale, it is easier than directly recruiting casual cultivators.
Of course, some people have tried to take multiple doses of this elixir at once, or in batches, multiple times, but they all ended in failure.
This medicine can only be taken one pill at a time, and it is only effective the first time.
Therefore, although its effect is miraculous, it has gradually disappeared in the long river of history because of its inapplicability. Fortunately, Lingyao Mountain itself is famous for its alchemy skills, and all kinds of elixirs are available both now and in ancient times.
Lin Xuan was also lucky. Although the ancient jade tube slip was broken, the formula of the ancient elixir was still intact.
After just discovering and reading about the origin of this medicine, Lin Xuan was understandably happy. However, when he looked down, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured down on his head.
How should I put it? A total of nine medicinal materials are needed to refine this elixir, one main ingredient and eight supplementary ingredients.
Among them, the eight auxiliary medicinal materials are not bad. Although they are cherished to the extreme, they are not things that cannot be found. In the vast swamps, in the barren mountains and rivers, or at auctions of all sizes, a lot of crystal stones will be scattered, and more efforts will be made.
Pay attention and you will always gain something.
But the remaining main medicinal ingredients are really a headache.
Yuanjin fruit!
If this thing were placed three million years ago, it would have been very common and not a very rare thing. However, now, it has long been a unique skill in this world.
It is said that there must be something in the spiritual world of the previous world.
But when Lin Xuan heard these words, he didn't get angry. Are you kidding me? He has to break through the Nascent Soul and reach the separation and union stage before he can ascend to the spirit world. But if he had that kind of cultivation, why would he worry about such things?
But no matter what, this finally provides a little hope for myself who is groping in the dark.
Therefore, during this period of time, even if Lin Xuan was running around, he was also paying attention to the Yuanjin Fruit wherever he passed. Although it was recorded in the book that the last time this thing appeared was a million years ago, but maybe
There is still a little bit left somewhere.
However, in addition to being disappointed, various evidences show that this thing may really have a unique skill in this world.
Of course, Lin Xuan has another option, which is to find other drugs that can replace Yuanjin Fruit.
There is nothing surprising. You must know that even for the same elixir, there may be several formulas, and some medicinal materials used as raw materials can be substituted for each other.
However, this option is only theoretically valid, but does not work in practice.
