Cultivation starts from crossing three years

This is human nature.

Only those with a strong heart and perseverance, in this environment, are still persevering and practicing consistently.

And Zhang Qingyuan, in the eyes of this middle-aged monk, is the kind of person with great perseverance.

"When the kid surnamed Zhang surpasses Yuanyang in cultivation, he doesn't need to say anything at that time, the reality will give him a slap in the face, let him clearly understand what is the real reliance on his own cultivation path..."

Looking at Zhao Yuanyang, who was beaming with joy, the middle-aged monk thought to himself.

He also knew a thing or two about Zhang Qingyuan's information.

It was precisely because of this that he guessed that in the next year and a half, that Zhang Qingyuan would be promoted to the ninth level of Lingyuan smoothly.

Now Zhang Qingyuan is already invincible at the eighth level of Lingyuan, and he is even more able to leapfrog challenges in the outer sect competition.

Once promoted, the strength will be greatly improved.

At that time, Zhao Yuanyang, who had delayed his practice, was probably only between the peak of Jiuzhong and the middle of Jiuzhong. With Zhang Qingyuan's strong foundation strength, he stepped into Zhang Qingyuan, who had greatly increased his strength in Jiuzhong. It would not be difficult to defeat this kid Yuanyang.

Two years ago, this fellow of his was not enough to be his enemy for a few rounds.

But two years later, his aptitude and family background were not as good as his fellow students catching up step by step, until now he has surpassed himself.

If such a contrast can't make Zhao Yuanyang wake up, then he is considering whether to go back and talk to his elder brother, and train someone else.

At that time, if the child Zhao Yuanyang could realize himself, it would not be a big problem to miss a year or two of practice, but it would be of great benefit to Zhao Yuanyang's future growth.

Mistakes are made, not terrible.

As long as you can understand your mistakes and correct them, the mistakes you made in the past will be rare growth accumulation.

It is precisely because of this that the middle-aged monk saw that Zhao Yuanyang's path was going astray, so he did not warn him, but quietly waited for the future development.

Knowing and comprehending by yourself is always more profound than what others put forward.

……

Zhang Qingyuan naturally had no way of knowing what happened next.

Zhang Qingyuan, who returned to the cave, had no plans to go out after the silver shadow long sword was handed over to Lin Yan of Lieyang Peak to upgrade, and he didn't even plan to enter the underground river to refine the essence of Guishui.

Without the Silver Shadow Magic Sword, his own strength has been directly reduced by [-]%, and he also lacks the ultimate move of drawing a sword that kills with one blow.

If the volatility like that day happened again, what should Zhang Qingyuan do?

Therefore, before Silver Shadow was upgraded, Zhang Qingyuan planned to hide in the cave to practice.

While meditating and practicing kung fu in the cave, while looking at the book on the basis of alchemy in his spare time, he basically understood all the principles.

A few days later, he went out again.

Going to Tianmu Peak, with the help of Qian Sen's relationship, he spent a hundred spirit stones to buy a batch of low-level medicinal materials, and at the same time bought an ordinary pill furnace in Fangshi to return to the cave.

a few more days,

Zhang Qingyuan, who was ready, began to open the furnace according to the simplest alchemy formula in the alchemy foundation.

This kind of elixir can't improve the probability of mortals' success in sensing qi. The essence of the elixir is to maximize the use of spiritual resources, and by the way, it can slightly improve some mortals' physique.

For example, if a stalk of spiritual grass is given to a mortal, it can only be used once, and the rest is left to fate.

But if you assist other medicinal materials to refine the spirit grass and refine it into a sense of qi pill, then a single spirit grass can be used reasonably three times, four times or even more.

It is precisely because Ganqi Pill itself is a elixir that makes the most reasonable use of elixir, without having to worry about various other elixir properties, and therefore it is one of the simplest basic elixir formulas in alchemy.

Today, Zhang Qingyuan uses this elixir as the beginning of his alchemy training.

Chapter 135 Intermediate Alchemy

After more than ten days,

Zhang Qingyuan spent one-tenth of the medicinal materials purchased with hundreds of spirit stones, and at the same time, he had two hundred more Qi Sensing Pills in his hand.

This qi-sensing pill is not worth much, and you can buy more than ten or twenty pieces for one spirit stone, so Zhang Qingyuan's alchemy is only worth paying back.

However, Zhang Qingyuan did not practice alchemy solely for the purpose of earning spirit stones.

If you just want to earn spirit stones, it will be much more profitable to directly refine the essence of Guishui in the underground Xuanshui underground river.

As the so-called Hundred Arts of Cultivation, the data of the proficiency panel shows that Zhang Qingyuan has advantages that others do not have in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, and having one more skill is also of great benefit to one's own cultivation path.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Qingyuan practiced alchemy.

……

【Cultivation Art:

Alchemy: Elementary (7/10)

Sensing Qi Pill: Dacheng (27/1000)]

……

On the proficiency panel, there is a line of "Cultivation and Hundred Arts", and there are also alchemy and qi pills below.

And this is the result of Zhang Qingyuan's hard work for more than ten days!

Sensing Qi Pill is only the basis of alchemy, and it is relatively easy to refine. Zhang Qingyuan quickly raised the proficiency of refining Qi Sensing Pill to Dacheng.

At the same time, alchemy has also reached the elementary level, and the proficiency has increased by seven points.

After the proficiency of alchemy could no longer increase, Zhang Qingyuan finally stopped refining the Qi-sensing pill.

"I was right!"

Inside the cave, Zhang Qingyuan watched the data changes on the proficiency panel, and thought to himself.

"Even the refining of basic pills has a certain effect on the improvement of alchemy, but many alchemists can't feel that kind of improvement, so they basically use more advanced pills for refining It takes an astronomical amount of resources to build up a higher level of alchemy master without system improvement experience."

"But I'm different. Others can't feel any progress in refining low-level pills, but I rely on the proficiency panel to clearly observe the improvement of alchemy proficiency and stick to it. After the proficiency, I gave up decisively and started to refine new pills. In this way, I can keep improving my alchemy proficiency, which will undoubtedly reduce the cost of my cultivation and improvement of alchemy by more than half."

Others can't see the refining of the data, so they can only rely on their senses to refine more advanced alchemy formulas, make adjustments through repeated failures, and finally find out the correct refining direction, and feel the improvement of their own alchemy skills.

Or it is boring to refine your own level of elixir again and again, and constantly accumulate experience, but you don't know how much the elixir you refined will improve your alchemy skills, so you can only try it again and again based on your feeling. , Groping and practicing in the dark.

This is the way for orthodox alchemists to improve their alchemy skills.

But in this way, the resources needed will definitely not be less.

But Zhang Qingyuan is different. He can observe the improvement of alchemy proficiency, and he can use basic and common pills as training hands to maximize the use of resources while improving the proficiency of alchemy.

Of course, the basic alchemy is the basic alchemy after all.

The refining of Ganqi Dan has not improved Zhang Qingyuan's proficiency at all.

But Zhang Qingyuan was not frustrated by this.

Because in the basic alchemy technique given by Senior Brother Wang Yuenian, there are three other basic alchemy recipes.

Tongjin Huoluo Pill, Bigu Pill, and Rongqi Pill.

Among them, Tongjing Huoluo Pill is a very low-level healing pill, which is not very effective for late-stage monks like Zhang Qingyuan, but it is a rare healing treasure for mortals or low-level monks. medicine.

As the name suggests, Bigu Dandan is mainly used for practicing Bigu, and it is also a kind of basic pill.

Rongqi Pill is a pill used by low-level monks of Lingyuan to assist cultivation. Although the spiritual materials used are not very advanced, it is already a kind of pill to assist cultivation. Among them, the requirements for the medicinal properties of melting liquid into pills are also higher , is the most difficult of the four basic pill recipes.

Without much hesitation.

Zhang Qingyuan directly gave up the Sensing Qi Pill, which could not improve the proficiency of alchemy, and began to try to refine the other three kinds of elixirs.

Time passed slowly while Zhang Qingyuan was cultivating and refining the elixir.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, Zhang Qingyuan ran around Neimenfang City of Yunshuizong, bought the Yiqi Pill used in his practice, and used the spirit stone to assist him in his practice.

Coupled with the rich aura of the Neimen Cave Mansion, Zhang Qingyuan's cultivation level has improved almost by leaps and bounds.

While expending energy on alchemy, his cultivation is also steadily improving, reaching the peak of the late eighth level of Lingyuan, and he is about to enter the realm of eighth level perfection.

Zhang Qingyuan was also surprised by this speed of practice.

However, the price of such bold practice and promotion is that the spiritual stones in Zhang Qingyuan's pocket have shrunk significantly again, leaving only about [-] spiritual stones.

But Zhang Qingyuan didn't regret it, he couldn't eat or drink the spirit stone in his hand, and it was more practical to transform it into his own strength.

not to mention,

If you really encounter a spiritual stone crisis, you can go to the Xuanshui underground river to squat for half a month by yourself, and refine ten or eight drops of the essence of Guishui.

The rapid improvement of cultivation.

Zhang Qingyuan was very happy.

But this is not Zhang Qingyuan's biggest gain this month.

After more than a month of hard work, Zhang Qingyuan's Tongjing Huoluo Pill, Bigu Pill, and Rongqi Pill have all been upgraded to Dacheng.

At the same time, alchemy has also reached the intermediate level.

……

[Alchemy: Intermediate (11/100)]

……

Among them, Tongjing Huoluo Pill and Bigu Pill only raised the alchemy to the intermediate level, and the two kinds of elixirs were not very useful for practicing alchemy.

The 11-point proficiency after breaking through to the intermediate level is basically the proficiency obtained by refining the Fusion Pill.

This may be due to the fact that it is more difficult to refine the Fusion Pill, and the level of the pill itself is also higher.

It's just that at the same time, after the alchemy reaches the intermediate level of 11 points, the refining of the melting pill has also been raised to the limit, and it is difficult to improve the proficiency of alchemy.

Therefore, Zhang Qingyuan decisively stopped the process of refining these pills.

Ready to find a new recipe.

After reaching the intermediate level of alchemy, you can already refine some auxiliary pills used in the middle stage of Lingyuan cultivation, and at the same time, you can barely refine some thick Qi pills that can assist in the later stage of Lingyuan cultivation.

Unfortunately,

Zhang Qingyuan didn't have any pill formula on hand.

The four basic alchemy recipes are the supplementary alchemy recipes written in the basic alchemy technique. As for the others, Zhang Qingyuan can only find them by himself.

This is another trouble.

"Hey, I just want to stay in the sect well, practice for a few years with peace of mind, and wait until the cultivation base is complete before leaving the mountain!"

Inside the cave, Zhang Qingyuan inspected his proficiency panel and sighed.

The reason why he practiced alchemy was not only because of the advantages of the panel.

It is because senior brother Wang Yuenian said that monks who practice the one-yuan Guishui Sutra can use the essence of heaven, material and earth treasures as the main material to refine a kind of elixir that can assist in improving their cultivation, and make the most of the Guishui The essence.

The journey from Lingyuan Jiuzhong to True Yuan Realm is not so easy.

Zhang Qingyuan has already planned to practice kung fu here for a few years, among which the elixir refined by Guishui has a lot of effects on his own practice.

And Zhang Qingyuan didn't intend to reveal the secret of his ability to speed up the upgrade of Guishui essence in advance.

Therefore, I tried to practice alchemy by myself.

Prepare the elixir for refining the essence of Guishui.

It's just that now, without the improvement of Danfang's practice, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In desperation, Zhang Qingyuan could only play a communication talisman to Zhao Yuanyang, asking him how he could get some intermediate pill formulas.

The other party is well-informed, has a lot of connections, and the family has a big business, so he should be more aware of these things.

Chapter 136 The Three Folding Waves Covering the Sea

The message talisman was triggered, but the other party didn't reply immediately, and Zhang Qingyuan didn't care.

Before the party ended two months ago, Zhao Yuanyang had invited his fellow disciples to go to a certain place for an adventure.

Since there is no response, let's deal with all the matters at hand first.

Because of the practice of alchemy, Zhang Qingyuan spent almost seventy-eight eighty-eight of the spiritual materials purchased by spending one hundred spirit stones on hand, and what he got in exchange was a bunch of low-level pills.

Except for the little use of Bigu Dan, the rest of these elixirs are basically useless.
