Wonderland

Chapter 65
The five-leaf grass in Xiao Lin's spiritual wood space has reached nearly 120 years of medicinal age, but there is still no sign of stopping. This shows that this grass is at least a third-order spiritual grass. You have to wait until it's truly mature.

The main reason why Xiao Lin never knew the name of this five-leaf grass was that he didn't dare to ask. Precious, if he fails, he will attract strong enemies above the foundation-building stage for himself. With his current combat strength, it is absolutely hopeless to encounter a foundation-building cultivator.

What surprised Xiao Lin was that the seeds he got from Hua Rongrong, the "immortal immortal", finally produced red and bright fruits. This strange fruit was the size of a pigeon's egg, and the whole body was red and bright. , and with a sweet smell, even Xiao Lin almost couldn't help but want to pick it off and taste it.

But he thought about it, and still didn't do it. He is nearly 19 years old now, and two months later, it will be his 19th birthday. He plans to take this strange fruit on that day. If he is not old, he can keep his 19-year-old appearance forever. Although in the cultivation world, there are not a few foundation-building monks who look like teens and twenties. It's not unusual for the ancestors, but most of them are because the exercises they practice have the effect of keeping the face.

Of course, there are also some gifted geniuses above the earth spirit root, who succeeded in building the foundation in their teens and twenties. Once the foundation was established, their lifespan reached a terrifying two hundred years, and at this time, the decline of physical functions became extremely slow. It is normal for a 20-year-old base-building stage practitioner to look like 60 years old, but if he can enter the Jindan stage at 30 years old and his lifespan doubles again, then even if he lives By the age of one hundred and seventy-eighty, it seems that I am probably only two or thirty years old.

But there are still very few such people. Most of the ancestors of the golden core seem to be old men in their 70s and 60s. the vast majority.

Moreover, there are not many exercises with the property of keeping the face. Most male cultivators are not particular about their appearance, so few male cultivators will create some exercises with the property of keeping the face, but women are different. Relatively speaking, there are more exercises with the nature of keeping the face, so if you see a beautiful girl in Xiancheng, don't be foolish to think that she is only a teenager, maybe a few hundred years old. Yuan Ying old monster is her.

In the next few days, Xiao Lin purchased some auxiliary medicinal materials for refining the improved version of Yunling Pill. Ten days later, he drove the Seven Blades and left Chixia Xiancheng. Before leaving Chixia Xiancheng, he also He deliberately paid attention to whether anyone was following behind him. After experiencing Wuyin Xiancheng being chased and killed by three high-level qi-refining monks, Xiao Lin became more and more careful, and he didn't think that Huo Jun would really keep the secret no longer. Trouble yourself.

However, what pleased him was that after he left the city, no one really followed him. After flying out for thousands of miles, he was completely relieved, and then he searched for a hiding place in the Tianlu Mountains.

Two days later, Xiao Lin landed in a small valley. After inspecting the surrounding area for dozens of miles, Xiao Lin used the seven-blade slash to dig a small cave against the root of the mountain, and dug all the way to the belly of the mountain. After digging the temporary residence, he collapsed the entrance of the cave to form a post-earthquake appearance. This time, Xiao Lin planned to refine an improved version of Yunling Pill here.

In the belly of the mountain, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the ground. In front of him was the purple smelting silver furnace. Beside the purple smelting silver furnace, there were many medicinal herbs. Xiao Lin first meditated cross-legged to recover the energy that had been lost in the past few days. God, he only opened his eyes after an hour, but he did not rush to start refining the pills, but closed his eyes again and began to meditate on the steps of pill refining and the matters needing attention at each step.

After another two hours, Xiao Lin opened his eyes again, flicked lightly with one hand, and a miniature fireball popped out, instantly igniting the black charcoal under the purple smelting silver furnace, and the hot flame instantly burned, shining Xiao Xiao. Lin's face also glowed red, and after a while, when he saw that the flames had stabilized, Xiao Lin poured in the water and put the auxiliary herbs into the pill furnace one by one.

Soon the strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire mountain. Xiao Lin also stared at the pill furnace with a serious face. The medicinal liquid in the pill furnace had already turned into a transparent emerald green. While staring at the pill furnace, he was constantly thinking about the refining method of the improved version of Yunling Pill, which was verified with the pill refining process one by one.

Seeing that the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace was about to turn transparent, and the medicinal liquid was spinning faster and faster, Xiao Lin decisively opened the two jade boxes beside him, took out two mature Spirit Mist Grass, and threw them in. Inside the pill furnace, he followed his hand to pinch the magic formula, and poured a spiritual formula into the medicinal liquid to speed up the fusion and condensation of the medicinal liquid.

In this way, after another hour, the entire mountainside began to be enveloped in a clear and strong medicinal fragrance. Xiao Lin's face also showed a nervous look. Bringing out layers of phantoms, the medicinal liquid in the pill furnace was spinning faster and faster, and in the middle of the medicinal liquid, an emerald green pill was slowly condensing.

"Pfft" At this moment, the emerald green pills in the middle of the pill furnace suddenly burst, and the liquid medicine in the pill furnace was sprayed directly from it, and it failed at the most critical moment of condensing the pill.

At the moment when the medicinal pill burst, Xiao Lin waved a mana, so that the medicinal liquid did not splash on him. He looked at the pill furnace with a thoughtful expression on his face. , Xiao Lin didn't think that he would succeed in refining the first time, and he had already expected the result in his heart. Although he really failed, he was still disappointed, but it was completely within his expectations.

He stared at the pill furnace in a daze, but he was reviewing the process of alchemy just now. Every step was replayed in his mind, and then he confirmed with the pill recipe in the jade slip again. After a few hours, his eyes recovered again. With a good look, he sighed softly, threw a Yun Ling Dan into his mouth, and then began to meditate and practice.

An hour later, Xiao Lin woke up from the meditation, then regained his spirits and plunged into alchemy again.

In the realm of self-cultivation, alchemy and talisman making are recognized as the two most difficult occupations. Just like refining talismans, there is a success rate, because no matter alchemy or talisman making, each process is very complicated. , like alchemy, when each auxiliary medicinal material is put in, and then under what circumstances the next auxiliary medicinal material is put in, and the necessary melting time after each medicine is put in, the timing of adding the main medicinal herb, and the time of condensing the pill The rotation speed of the liquid medicine and the degree of melting of the medicine are very critical. A slight error will lead to the failure of the alchemy.

It can be said that refining elixir is the most complicated skill in the world of self-cultivation. Compared with the making of talismans, it is even worse. Even Xiao Lin heard the phrase "poor talisman making" more than once when he was wandering in Chixia Xiancheng. Three generations, the alchemy family."

The meaning of this sentence is to learn the art of making talismans. If it is a casual practice, then it will take one or two hundred years, and three generations will be connected. All the resources will be used to subsidize one person to learn talisman making. Maybe you can achieve a small success. Of course, this is just a possibility , does not mean that one can definitely become a talisman maker, but to become an alchemist, the resources needed, even if a big cultivation family fully supports it, may not be enough, even in the Tianlu Mountains. In order to support a low-level monk in the family to learn alchemy, a comprehension family gave everything, which eventually led to the decline of the entire family.

Therefore, in the Tianlu Mountains, the real alchemists are basically within the five major sects, and it is rumored that only Dancaoshan has one or two great alchemists who can refine third-order elixir. Teachers are so rare, if Xiao Lin hadn't possessed such a heaven-defying place as the Spirit Wood space, he would never have become an alchemist, and even the lowest level of the spiritual pill would not have been able to be refined.

You must know that when he first started refining the Yun Ling Dan, he failed dozens of times in a row. If these resources were converted into spiritual stones, it would be at least tens of thousands. From this, we can see how difficult it is to do alchemy.

Fortunately, Xiao Lin is not worried about resources. With the Spirit Wood space, he has enough spirit grass for him to practice. Even if he fails, it is completely within his tolerance. In addition, his nature is more stable and careful. And he is very persistent in doing things, which allows him to persevere in countless failures.

A month later, Xiao Lin was sitting in the middle of the mountain with sweat on his face, but his face was filled with an excited smile. On his palm, a green elixir the size of a bean was rolling. Compared with the Yunling Pill that Xiao Lin had refined before, there was no difference in size, but this Yunling Pill was more transparent. Inside the almost transparent Lingdan, a faint cyan halo flickered, and at the same time it emitted aura. It is also at least [-]% more concentrated than the Yunling Pill refined before.

This is what Xiao Lin has achieved in the past month. Today, he finally refined the first batch of seven improved versions of Yunling Pills.

Xiao Lin excitedly looked at the Yunling Pill in the palm of his hand. The hard work during this period of time was finally in vain. With this improved version of Yunling Pill, he can finally start to try to hit the mid-term bottleneck. This mid-term bottleneck is like his self-cultivation The ravines on the road have blocked him for too long.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin put the improved version of Yunling Pill back into the jade, then took out an ordinary Yunling Pill and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and started to practice. Before hitting the mid-term bottleneck, he would waste this time. All the spirits and energy have returned to their peak state.
