"Brother Yu, I heard about it by chance." Ma Tianxiong nodded, and then a strange look appeared on his face: "Junior brother Ye seems to be very interested in top-grade elixirs. It is said that with your qualifications, as long as you work hard, even the lower-grade elixirs will be enough.
Build the foundation.”
"Haha." Lin Xuan smiled with a smile on his face, but felt a shiver in his heart. He had lost his composure just now, and he quickly said nonchalantly: "Senior brother, you are laughing at me. I am just curious and naturally interested in all kinds of strange news."
"Yeah." Ma Tianxiong didn't doubt it. Lin Xuan's magic of imitating the appearance of demons is so wonderful. With his current cultivation level, no one can recognize his true face unless he is a master in the pill condensation stage. Ma Tianxiong continued.
: "Brother Yu once accidentally saw an introduction to the best marrow cleansing pill in an ancient book..."
There is no doubt that this gentleman is there. Anyway, this is not a valuable secret, so I treat it as a small talk and tell Lin Xuan one by one.
It turns out that the classification of elixirs circulated in the world of cultivation is wrong.
Low-grade, medium-grade, and top-grade pills are indeed classified according to the content of impurities, but the legendary top-grade elixir is not just that.
The so-called top-grade elixir really has incredible effects. In addition to its extremely high proportion of essence and very few impurities, it also needs to be tempered twice.
What is secondary tempering?
As we all know, by putting all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in a cauldron and refining them by experienced cultivators, the finished elixir can be obtained.
This is a tempering.
To obtain the best elixir, you must first prepare the high-grade elixir that has been successfully refined, then supplement it with several other elixirs, and then refine it again, which is the so-called refining the elixir with elixirs.
Because it was refined twice before and after, it is also called secondary tempering.
Just from the process, you can imagine how difficult it is. You must know that even a famous sect with a rich net worth and a powerful alchemist cannot refine high-grade elixirs. The only inventory in the sect is
Passed down from generation to generation, it is said that it was refined by "accident" under extremely lucky circumstances.
Refining the best elixirs requires high-grade elixirs as raw materials. Once it fails, the high-grade elixirs will be scrapped. Who is willing to give it up without vomiting blood in pain?
However, for Lin Xuan, this is nothing. With his current cultivation level, although the success rate of purifying high-grade elixirs is very low, it is still possible. At most, it will take a little more time, so it is not a problem.
But what Ma Tianxiong said next made him really encounter a problem.
"What, in addition to the high-grade elixir as the main ingredient, how many heaven and earth spiritual herbs also need to be added during the second tempering?"
"Yes." Ma Tianxiong nodded: "According to ancient records, refining the best elixir requires two auxiliary ingredients: Silver Moon Flower and Liuyingcao."
The ingredients of the best pills are slightly different from those of the previous grades, which is why Lin Xuan has been unable to succeed by purifying and concentrating the essence.
I got the secret about the top-grade elixir from Ma Tianxiong, but Lin Xuan didn't feel relaxed at all. The top-grade elixir was easy to handle, but the two-flavored spiritual grass as an auxiliary...
Lin Xuan had read the introduction about them in "Baicaolu". Unlike medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Silver Moon Flower and Liuyingcao are the real spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, and their quantity is even rarer than the ten thousand-year-old ginseng.
Where can I find this?
"Actually, this heaven and earth spiritual grass is not without origin."
"Senior brother, do you know?" Lin Xuan was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that Ma Tianxiong was tall and tall, but had such a wealth of knowledge that he could be called a know-it-all.
"It grows in Xiyuejian."
"Xiyuejian!" Lin Xuan listened, his face was calm, but his expression was a little bitter. There was no other reason. This Xiyuejian was a notorious place for monsters to grow, and it was extremely dangerous.
If it was just a nest of monsters, Lin Xuan might not dare to break into it. As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. It is normal to take some risks if you want to obtain the magical grass of heaven and earth, not to mention the monsters there.
Although there are many beasts, most of them are only at the first level. With my current cultivation level, I can barely cope with them.
But the current situation is a little different. This Xiyuejian is located to the north of Yanzhou, only a few dozen miles away from Huolingmen, and it is considered their sphere of influence. Now the two cultivation alliances are engaged in a war of attrition, and they are in a hostile situation with them.
Camp, if you go to Xiyuejian to collect herbs, don't you just throw yourself into a trap and become the target of being hunted?
Staying in the sect is a happy life, but looking at the situation, it is impossible to successfully build the foundation no matter what.
Lin Xuan was in a dilemma. Originally, he still had a way out. He relied on the magic of the devil to imitate the appearance, took off his clothes in Piaoyun Valley, disguised himself as a casual cultivator and secretly went there. Although this great conflict in the Yanzhou cultivation world made those who did not belong to any sect
Loose cultivators of any force also suffered a lot, and many were killed by accidental injuries, but after all, they were much safer than the disciples of the sect.
But soon, Lin Xuan's wishful thinking came to nothing.
Although it is a war of attrition, the two sides will not engage in large-scale weapon fighting or attack each other's main altar, but they will use all other methods. Don't underestimate these monks who pursue the immortal way. They usually look like immortals.
He is honest and fair, but when he really uses insidious tricks, he is despicable and even more bloody and cruel than the world.
In addition to hunting each other's lone disciples, they also sent dead warriors to join the sects and assassinate high-level monks. This was a tactic to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. Although most of the dead warriors sent were gone and never returned, the effect was very obvious.
To know whether a sect is strong or not, the key lies in the high-level monks. The disciples in the agile stage are just cannon fodder. No matter how many people die, they can't hurt the roots. But the high-level monks are different. If they die from assassins,
If there are too many people, the strength of that sect will be greatly reduced.
Once the balance of power between the opposing sides is broken, it will no longer be a war of attrition, but will definitely evolve into an endless massacre.
Of course, both sides do not want their sects to fall. In order to release the dead assassins sent by the other party, the two alliances each invented an identification spell.
By inserting the identification spell into the body, it will be clear at a glance whether it is one of your own or a spy, and you can easily identify it, so you will not be afraid of the other party's people getting in.
