When he was on Yushui Mountain, the old man of the Holy Emperor asked Xia Yan to go up and down the mountain every day to strengthen his body. Through such exercise, Xia Yan also felt that his body was much tougher. However, this kind of physical strength improvement achieved through hard training
, it is not obvious now. Even if Xia Yan still goes up and down Yushui Mountain a hundred times a day, it will not have much effect. At most, it will maintain its current state.
The old man of the Holy Emperor chuckled, flicked his fingers on his clothes and said: "Boy, your martial arts meridians are now considered mature, and you can withstand the stimulation of some pills! Next, we will use some drugs to strengthen the body.
, making your skin, muscles, and bones ten and a hundred times tougher than they are now."
When Xia Yan heard this, his whole body was shocked, his eyebrows moved, and he looked at the old man of the Holy Emperor, "Using elixirs to strengthen the body?"
"That's right, use drugs to strengthen your body. Boy, if you want to achieve the innate realm as soon as possible, you must also strengthen your body to a certain level. In fact, there is another wonderful thing about strengthening your body, that is, your spirit will also become better.
Tenacity. Hey, boy, are you feeling tired after learning some unskilled martial arts skills in the square today?" The old man of the Holy Emperor changed the topic and talked about the martial arts skills practiced by the Xia family's children in the square today.
Xia Yan couldn't help but perked up, and opened his mouth to say in surprise: "How did you know?"
When he was memorizing those martial arts today, Xia Yan did feel a little mentally exhausted, but it was not serious or obvious. Xia Yan also guessed that it might be due to the excessive use of the "Ling Luo Secret Code" to refine the martial arts.
"Of course I know that with your current mental toughness and physical toughness, you cannot refine too many martial arts in a short period of time. Hum, fortunately, the martial arts you are refining now are all inferior martial arts. If you are refining advanced secrets,
, you can't bear it even more. That's why I want you to strengthen your body and your spirit." The old man of the Holy Emperor rolled his eyes and glanced at Xia Yan, muttering.
"Then can you refine elixirs?" Xia Yan's face was filled with joy. It would be better if he could use elixirs to strengthen his body as soon as possible. Xia Yan was also eager to reach the innate realm. But the innate realm was too difficult, Xia Yan
There is still a long way to go before the innate realm.
There are nine levels of elixirs in total, but even the lowest level of first-level elixirs require at least a spiritual master to refine them. Apothecaries require very special talents, and even spiritual masters, only a small number can become pharmacists.
Every pharmacist is a target that all major forces compete for.
Behind an outstanding pharmacist, there must be many strong people. Because even the Spirit Sect and even the Spirit Emperor need to refine elixirs. If you can't refine elixirs yourself, you must rely on someone who can refine elixirs.
pharmacist.
The status of a pharmacist in the Dragon Continent is as noble as that of a hall master. Even a junior pharmacist is extremely difficult to find. Take the Xia family for example. The Xia family is so big that they cannot afford to hire a junior pharmacist.
The pharmacist is in charge.
"I'm just a soul now, how can I refine elixirs? But you can!" A strange smile appeared on the old man's face, and he looked at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan was immediately discouraged and said: "The pharmacist at least needs the strength of a spiritual master. How can I refine the elixir now?"
"Haha, you need a spiritual master to refine elixirs, but you don't need to prepare some potions! I'll tell you the method. If you follow my instructions, you can prepare potions that increase body strength." The old man of the Holy Emperor seems to have already known it.
Made plans.
"Boy, you only need to prepare the required materials, and then follow my instructions to prepare the medicine you need. Well, you first prepare five fifty-year-old Qingzhi grass, five fifty-year-old six
Leaf fruits, two purple cold grasses, and a century-old four-eared orchid. That's all for now!" The old man of the Holy Emperor nodded slightly, as if he was still unfinished.
And Xia Yan was already stupid.
He had heard of all the medicinal materials mentioned by the old man Holy Emperor, and it was not impossible to find them. However, the prices of these medicinal materials were not something that most people would dare to praise.
The six-leafed orchids of Qingzhicao are very common, but those that are fifty years old are less common. Especially the four-eared orchids, which are hundreds of years old, are even more precious.
"If they have long hair, maybe I can buy their fur." Xia Yan swallowed his saliva and said helplessly.
Even if these materials are purchased by the family, they will probably have to be carefully considered by the Presbyterian Council.
"Qingzhicao, fifty-year-old Qingzhicao costs at least fifty gold coins per plant. Fifty-year-old six-leaf fruit may cost eighty gold coins per plant. As for purple cold grass, I'm afraid it can only be sold in auction houses, at least
It costs 100 gold coins per plant, and I have seen the century-old four-eared orchid once in a drugstore. It is not sold at all if it costs less than 500 gold coins!" Xia Yan took a deep breath. After all, it cost thousands.
gold.
Xia Yan touched his pocket and found only a few gold coins, which he had accumulated over more than ten years.
"I don't care about that, you have to get these materials." The old man of the Holy Emperor spread his hands, "If you don't get these materials, I can't guarantee when you will be able to break through the acquired and the innate."
"But..." Xia Yan touched his forehead sadly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
Xia Yan looked out the door, turned to look at the old man Shenghuang, and found that the old man Shenghuang had disappeared without a trace and returned to the Lingluo Ring. Xia Yan then opened the door and saw that his third grandfather Xia Changhe had arrived at the door.
Not far outside.
"Third Grandpa!" Xia Yan hurriedly walked out and called out affectionately.
"Haha, Xia Yan! Okay! Great! Today I can finally stand proudly in front of that old guy Xia Lai." Xia Changhe smiled brightly, walked quickly, and was obviously very happy.
Xia Lai's seniority in the Xia family was one generation higher than him. Xia Lai's behavior in the square today made Xia Lai's old face look dark all the time.
"The Great Elder didn't say anything, did he?" Xia Yan was a little worried.
"What can he say? After all, you are a child of the Xia family. The higher your achievements, the more beneficial it will be to the Xia family. Xia Yan, your status is no longer what it used to be. From now on, as long as you do your duty and don't go out of your way,
You don't need to look at anyone's eyes in the Xia family." Xia Changhe waved his hand fiercely and said proudly.
"Third Grandpa, if I were to propose to the clan leader that my mother's body should be placed in the ancestral hall, would he agree?" Xia Yan was always thinking about this matter.
Xia Changhe's expression changed slightly, and he turned to speak seriously to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, this matter may still not work. As long as that old guy Xia Lai doesn't agree, the Presbyterian Council will not be able to get through it!"
After hearing this, Xia Yan finally understood. It seemed that he had to wait until he became the master of the temple.
Suddenly, two rays of light shot out of Xia Yan's eyes, he clenched his palms and said, "Master of the Holy Church, I will do it."
Hearing what Xia Yan said, Xia Changhe just smiled slightly and didn't think Xia Yan could do it.
"Xia Yan, I can't believe that you have achieved what you have today in less than a year. Tell me, Third Grandpa, how you did it?" Xia Changhe turned his eyes and asked with a smile.
road.
Xia Yan had known that Third Grandpa would ask this question. Just now, the old man from the Holy Emperor specifically asked not to talk about him to anyone, so he said, "Third Grandpa, look at this ring!"
Xia Yan stretched out his hand in front of Xia Changhe.
"Huh? Is it related to this ring?" Xia Changhe paused, pointed at the dark ring, and asked hesitantly.
