Chapter 165: Alchemy Boy
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xiao Lin felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If he couldn't get a higher-level alchemy formula and couldn't build a foundation, maybe after a few decades, he would be like this Bailiwen, and become a descendant. elders.

For a practitioner in the Qi refining period, if he cannot build a foundation before the age of 40, then the probability of successfully building a foundation in his lifetime is extremely small. Of course, although the probability of building a foundation is small, it is not hopeless.

But if the foundation building is not successful after the age of 60, then the path of cultivation will be completely cut off, even if there are elixir and magic medicine, it will be useless.

"In a few years, if I still can't build the foundation, I can only retire and return to Xiancheng to retire." With a soft sigh, Bailiwen said.

"As long as there is hope, brother, don't give up. After all, everything is possible." Xiao Lin pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Borrowing my brother's auspicious words, but the old man has already seen it, let everything go as it pleases, but I don't understand, brother, why did you choose this Green Bamboo Peak as your place of practice when you just joined the sect?"

"Junior brother, I like quietness, so I chose Qingzhufeng, where there are relatively few people. Is there any problem?" Hearing what Baili old man said, Xiao Lin's expression froze slightly, and he asked.

A strange look appeared on Bailiwen's face, and he sighed after a while: "It seems that after the younger brother entered the sect, no one mentioned anything to the younger brother."

Glancing at the expression on Xiao Lin's face, Bailiwen smiled wryly and said, "Sure enough, the children of those families in the sect are all virtuous. If the old man hadn't chosen the Green Bamboo Peak by mistake, I'm afraid he wouldn't be stuck in the bottleneck of foundation building now. Decades."

"Junior brother should know that our Dancao Mountain is built on a large spiritual vein."

Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, Bailiwen continued: "But the main peak of Qingdan and the eight subordinate peaks are built on the spiritual veins, but there is a huge gap between them."

"The aura of the main peak of Qingdan is the strongest, at least twice that of the other eight subordinate peaks, so the cultivation speed is the fastest on Qingdan peak. However, we outer disciples are not qualified to practice on the main peak of Qingdan. The head of the sect, a few elders of the outer sect, and a group of core true disciples, of course, the thirteen uncles of the golden alchemy masters and the ancestor of Tianyi also have this qualification."

"As for the eight major peaks, the intensity of aura varies greatly. Among them, the three peaks of Jinxia, ​​Qinghuo, and Qijue have the most abundant aura, followed by Hongluan, Ziye, and Yingyuan. The worst are our Qingzhufeng and Emerald Water Peak."

"Oh? Why is that? Aren't the Eight Congfengs also built on spiritual veins?" Hearing this, Xiao Lin asked with a surprised expression on his face.

"It's very simple." Bailiwen pointed to the spiritual fields suspended hundreds of feet above the sky and said, "Our Dancao Mountain has hundreds of acres of spiritual fields. You have seen it, the bottom layer has the largest area, and the plants planted on it They are all first-level elixir. This kind of low-level elixir has a short growth cycle and a large output. It is mainly used to train alchemists in the sect, and the various elixir refined are mainly provided to those who refine Qi. Long-term outer disciples use it."

Xiao Lin nodded. When he received the items from the sect, there was a jade bottle, which contained a Yunling Pill.

"I think my junior has also received the Yunling Pill from the sect. Our outer disciples will be given five low-grade spirit stones and one Yunling Pill every month. These benefits will be provided until the foundation is established or the age exceeds 40. "

Hearing this, Xiao Lin was speechless. Once the foundation was established, the low-level panacea such as Yunling Pill would naturally be unnecessary, and if the foundation could be established, the sect would provide higher-level cultivation resources.

However, once the outer disciples are over 40 years old, they will also be deprived of the benefits of the sect. Let it run its course.

Bailiwen obviously also belongs to the latter type of person. He showed a little dissatisfaction on his face, but then he continued with bitterness on his face: "And in the higher sky above, there are still a few The middle-level spirit field in which there are Tier [-] elixir planted, and the Tier [-] elixir refined from these elixir is mainly for use by the disciples and masters of the inner sect, as well as the elders of the outer sect."

"It is rumored that the spiritual field at the highest point of Qingdan Peak is an extremely rare high-level spiritual field, and it is planted with third-order elixir that is almost extinct in the Tianlu Mountains, but the disciples of the sect who are like the spiritual field even went up to it. I don’t even have the qualification to take a look, and the entire spiritual field has been severely restricted, even the ancestors of Jindan can’t break it.”

After a pause, Bailiwen shook his head and said: "But these spiritual fields are all the seniors of our Dancao Mountain. The aura in the spiritual veins is used to cultivate the elixir, and Qingdan Mountain is the foundation of our Dancao Mountain. Naturally, it is impossible to extract the spiritual veins under it. Therefore, the aura that maintains the operation of the Lingtian comes from Qingzhufeng and Cuishui. Extracted from the spiritual veins below the peak."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lin finally understood that after he came to the Green Bamboo Peak yesterday, he felt that the aura here was much thinner than that of the main peak of the Green Pill, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, according to Baili Wendao, it was actually caused by the spiritual veins under the Green Bamboo Peak being continuously drawn from the spiritual energy. This also made him understand why there are so few people in the Green Bamboo Peak. After all, who doesn’t want to practice in a place with abundant spiritual energy? .

"Isn't there a golden alchemist uncle sitting on the top of our Green Bamboo Peak?" Xiao Lin once heard from the fat-faced inner sect disciple that the eight major peaks all have golden alchemy ancestors sitting in town. If the spiritual energy is really so thin How could this Jindan Patriarch willingly sit on the Green Bamboo Peak?

"Hey." Hearing this, Bailiwen sneered, and then seemed to feel something was wrong. He looked around and was a little relieved when he was sure that no one was there. At the top, there are special passages in the cave, which directly lead to the spiritual veins of the mountain, and there are spirit gathering arrays in the caves of all the masters and uncles, so naturally there is no need to worry about the lack of spiritual power."

Nodding his head, Xiao Lin finally understood why the number of people in Qingzhufeng and Cuishuifeng are so small, but he is not worried, the most important goal in front of him is to find a way to get the prescription of the five elements elixir.

As long as the Five Elements Spirit Pill can be refined, whether the aura of the practice place is strong or not has little effect on him. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help pondering for a while.

"Brother Baili, our Dancao Mountain is famous for alchemy among the five sects, but we don't know what to do if we want to become an alchemist? What abilities do we need?"

Since he hadn't seen the formula of the Five Elements Spirit Pill in the reward catalog of the Hall of Merit, Xiao Lin put his mind on the alchemist. He thought that once he became an alchemist, the sect would always provide some The alchemy is for him to refine the panacea.

Hearing the words, Bailiwen showed a little surprise on his face: "It's so difficult that Junior Brother Xiao can make alchemy?"

"When I was cultivating in the Immortal City, Junior Brother, I refined several batches of Yunling Pills, but the success rate was terribly low. For this reason, Junior Brother, I spent all my savings for several years." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Lin said.

"Junior Brother has also refined Yunling Pill, which is quite remarkable. Although our Dancao Mountain is famous for alchemy, there are actually not many alchemists in the sect."

"Our Dancao Mountain has three great alchemists. Besides Tianyi Patriarch and his old man, there are two more, namely Wu Daozi Wu Shishuzu and Sun Changsheng Sun Shishuzu."

"These two master-uncles can be regarded as representing the two lines of alchemy in our Dancao Mountain today."

"Oh, is there any difference between these two veins?" Xiao Lin was full of surprise.

Looking at Xiao Lin, Bailiwen smiled and said: "Actually, alchemy itself does not have any sects, it's just that Master Wu was born as a casual cultivator, and he was also a real spiritual root cultivator. He also practiced alchemy in the crypt Picked the purple spirit flower in the middle of the mountain, and thus got the Dao Order to worship our Dancao Mountain."

"Master Sun is the grandpa of the contemporary Patriarch of the Sun family, one of the top ten cultivating families in Dancao Mountain, so Grand Master Sun can also be regarded as representing the power of the cultivating family."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin's face showed a look of surprise, feeling in this Dancao Mountain, there is indeed a certain gap between the cultivation family and casual cultivators, otherwise there would be no two-line alchemy system formed.

"Speaking of this, Junior Brother Xiao understands after thinking about it. With his background as a casual cultivator, even if he passed the alchemy assessment in the sect, he may not be able to be favored by this Grand Master Sun and become an alchemist. Boy, but there is still great hope for becoming an alchemy boy in the lineage of Wu Daozi's master uncle."

"Alchemy boy?"

Seeing Xiao Lin's slightly frowned brows, Bailiwen smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm fine today, brother, so I'll explain it to you."

"It is unrealistic for our outer disciples of Dancao Mountain to become a second-level alchemist, unless you can really refine a second-level alchemy such as the Five Elements Spirit Pill, but as an outer disciple, the Zongmen It is simply impossible to provide a sufficient amount of Five Elements Spirit Grass for the outer disciples to refine."

"So the outer disciples can only become an alchemy boy of the alchemist, and improve their alchemy level by refining the Yunling Pill used by the outer disciples in their practice. If they can build a foundation after that, they can get some alchemy resources. Continue to improve the level of alchemy, as long as you can refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill, you can become a formal alchemist."

"Once you have the title of alchemist, your status among the inner disciples of Dancao Mountain will be greatly improved. Not only will your monthly benefits be double that of ordinary inner disciples, but you may also assist Wu Daozi's uncle in refining some alchemists. If the third-level elixir is favored by Wu Daozi's master uncle, he may become a true disciple in one fell swoop, then he will really reach the sky in one step."

"Brother Baili, what are the requirements for becoming an alchemy boy?"

"On the halfway up the eight peaks of our Dancao Mountain, there is a Pill Pavilion. You will know how to do it when you go there, but I want to remind my junior brother that it is not easy to become a boy of alchemy. It will be three years before you can take the second test."
