Cultivation of immortality in the family

Chapter 177 One Hundred and Eight Secrets

On this day, Su Mu just finished refining a batch of Yangming Pills.

After five years of painstaking study and relying on various means to help, Su Mu improved his alchemy of gold and stone to the second-level low-grade level.

Speaking of which, it was an unexpected surprise that he was able to take such a big step in just five years.

Originally, he wanted to practice silently by himself, but later he found that this method was tantamount to working behind closed doors, and the progress was too slow.

It would be too much of a waste to leave a quasi-third-level alchemist like Baida Nian without asking for advice.

By chance, Baida Nian was worried about Jianwan.

Because the quality of the third-order Golden Yang Stone is so good, after some deductions by Baida Nian, there is a 60% chance that the sword pill made from it can directly become a third-order low-grade magic weapon.

However, if there are other better external conditions, there is almost a 20% chance that its quality can be upgraded to the third-level mid-grade level.

The difference between low-grade and mid-grade seems to be only a small step, but the gap between them is wider than that between spiritual weapons and magic weapons.

However, with Baida Nian's ability, even if he tried his best, he could not realize the 20% chance.

As a last resort, he could only turn to three friends including Hu Jinpeng for help.

Hu Jinpeng and Situ Sitong used their connections to borrow a third-level mid-grade alchemy furnace.

However, they had trouble with the spiritual fire.

At this moment, Su Mu quietly took out a piece of fire from the Qianyuan Fire Lamp.

He did not directly name it, but said that he had obtained a flame before, but he did not know its origin, so he sealed it.

Baida Nian and Hu Jinpeng were both experts in using fire. As soon as they saw the Qianyuan Green Fire, they recognized its origin.

While lamenting Su Mu's good fortune, they asked if they could borrow the flame.

Su Mu originally planned to help, but since the other party offered it, he agreed.

Next, the four golden elixir monks worked together to refine the sword pills.

After three full years, they finally refined this set of three Jinyang Yuanxu Sword Pills.

Although this set of sword pills did not suddenly become a third-level mid-level magic weapon, it became the pinnacle of a third-level low-level magic weapon once it was refined.

As long as Baida Nian is warmed and raised for several decades, it is expected to advance to the third-level mid-level level.

During this process, Su Mu, as the one who started the process, actually learned a lot of techniques of gold and stone alchemy.

Moreover, because Su Mu took the initiative to lend Qianyuan Qinghuo, his relationship with Baida Nian suddenly became much closer.

Baida Nian saw that he held the most precious alchemy treasure such as Qianyuan Qinghuo in his hands, so he did not hesitate to teach Su Mu his experience in alchemy step by step.

Therefore, Su Mu was able to improve the alchemy of gold and stone to the second-level low-grade level in just five years.

Just after he put away the Yangming Pill, a ray of fire fell outside his cave.

Su Mu reached out and made a move, letting go of the restriction and letting it fly in.

"Brother Su, the fire dragon flowers near Jinqiao Island are about to bloom. Please come over and talk about it!"

A powerful voice reached Su Mu's ears.

Su Mu immediately recognized that it was Hu Jinpeng and three others summoning each other.

During this period of time, in addition to practicing in seclusion, he also followed the other three people out to search for spiritual herbs for refining third-level elixirs.

In total, they went out three times, two of them failed, and only one of them was successful.

That time, they found an abandoned cave and found six common spiritual herbs that were more than 700 years old.

Later, the three of them led Su Mu to the cave of an alchemist who was in the middle stage of the golden elixir, and exchanged those spiritual herbs for five third-level low-grade elixirs.

Since that cave was discovered by Situ Sitong, he received two coins, and the remaining three people received one coin each.

That elixir was almost equivalent to Su Mu's one year's worth of practice.

This time, it was the first time that Su Mu took a third-level low-grade elixir to assist his practice. He was extremely surprised by the efficacy of the third-level elixir.

This made Su Mu remember that his storage bag still contained many spiritual herbs that they had dug up in Master Yunluo's residence, including one that was a thousand years old.

If he wasn't worried about attracting other people's attention, Su Mu once planned to replace them with elixirs.

Watching the fire in his hand gradually disappear, Su Mu walked over from the alchemy room.

During this period, he put his consciousness into the indigo bracelet and saw the spiritual herbs neatly arranged in the corner.

"Although it is said that the spiritual grass can be exchanged for the elixir, in general, there is no way to do it, because it is really a loss. Compared with the value of the spiritual grass, it is almost equal to the elixir obtained. Just half.”

From the conversations between Hu Jinpeng and others, we learned that the alchemist advanced to the golden elixir stage at about the same time as the three of them.

Just relying on his outstanding alchemy skills, his cultivation speed left all three of them behind.

Furthermore, unlike the three of them who occasionally go out to fight for their lives, the other party only needs to stay in the cave to refine elixirs quietly. The safety factor is really too high.

What is even more enviable is that if someone gathers together the spiritual herbs to refine a batch of elixirs and comes over, if the refining is successful, the visitor can only take half of it, and the remaining half will be used as the alchemist's reward. If unfortunately the refining fails, the alchemist only needs to pay a symbolic compensation of 10% of the value of the spiritual grass.

……

After half an hour, Su Mu finally arrived at Baohu Tower.

When his figure appeared on the top floor, Hu Jinpeng immediately asked impatiently: "Brother Su, how is your Yangming Pill refining going?"

Su Mu reached out and turned it over, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.

Hu Jinpeng took away the jade bottle and poured out the elixir inside.

"This Yangming Pill is vermilion-brown in color and round in body. It smells faintly of orchids, and it can produce six pills in one furnace. It seems that Brother Su's alchemy skills have steadily broken through to the second level of low-grade." Hu Jinpeng couldn't help but click his tongue. Amazing.

"If I remember correctly, it only took Brother Su four years to upgrade the alchemy of gold and stone to the second-level low-level. Old man, how long did it take you to reach the second-level low-level?" Situ Sitong also sighed. One sentence.

The two men sang in harmony, paying no attention to Baida Nian, whose face was half darkened next to them.

However, Baida Nian was minding his own business twirling the three sword pills in his hands and completely ignored the words of these two bad friends.

"Old Bai, hurry up and review it. If Brother Su can advance to the third level of alchemy master sooner, we won't have to go out and work hard." "Yes, when the time comes, we will be responsible for recruiting other Jindan colleagues to come over to refine alchemy. A little kickback is enough for us to practice."

Upon hearing this, Baida Nian quickly put away the sword pill in his hand and started to comment seriously.

"The Yangming Pill is really well made. As long as the pill is collected about ten breaths later, the potency of the pill can be greatly improved, and the erysipelas can be reduced by more than half accordingly."

Baida Nian has refined elixir-forming spiritual objects such as the Demon Race's Waidan by himself, so he can barely be called a quasi-third-level alchemist.

He took a rough look and commented on some shortcomings in Su Mu's alchemy.

"If we can maintain this improvement speed, we will be able to hit the third level of alchemy in about twenty years."

Having said this, Baida Nian had to marvel at the heaven-defying effectiveness of the Qianyuan Green Fire.

If he could have had such a Qianyuan Green Fire decades ago, he would have been promoted to a third-level alchemist long ago.

Of course, there are not so many ifs in this world.

Since he has been idle for so long, and the energy in his heart has long been exhausted, in his current state, even if this Qianyuan Green Fire is given to him, he has no chance of advancement.

Unless the previous third-level mid-grade alchemy furnace is also given to him, maybe he still has some hope.

"Brother Su, you have to work hard."

Upon hearing Baida Nian's inference, Hu Jinpeng and Hu Jinpeng opened their eyes wide at the same time, looking at Su Mu as if they were some rare treasure.

Su Mu could only smile awkwardly and said, "I will work hard!"

Speaking of which, in the past few years, he has spent almost all his free time on alchemy, which has caused his talisman-making skills to progress slowly and is still at the second-level high-grade stage.

As he advanced the Qi and Blood Mysterious Technique to the eighth transformation, Xinghai gradually became free.

Not long ago, he had superimposed the golden sword pattern to thirty-six levels.

Based on his current third-level formation cultivation, if he continued, he concluded that he would either have to take into account the changes in the void, or he would have to consider how to nurture Yuan Consciousness.

These two paths are actually the former one is to continue studying in the direction of formations, and the latter one is to turn to weapon refining.

He doesn't know how to make a decision now, so he can only shelve it for the time being. Maybe when the five elements formation patterns are stacked to thirty-six layers, he may make a decision.

"Okay, let's talk about what happened on Jinqiao Island."

Baida Nian's words just now solved a question in their minds.

However, after all, that would have to wait for at least another twenty years, and it was far less urgent than the matter in front of them.

Speaking of Jinqiao Island, it was a chance they got when they returned from their last trip.

That time, the four of them followed the clues to find a spiritual valley in the sea.

Unexpectedly, I happened to encounter the Dahuang Island who was encircling and suppressing evil cultivators.

At that time, the scene there was huge, and there was a faint evil spirit coming from the sky, overwhelming the sky and the earth.

The four of them could only take a detour. Unexpectedly, they lost their way and ended up in a remote place.

Later, Su Mu took out the East China Sea chart he bought from Lingqiao Palace to search, and then discovered that they had arrived at an unnamed island that was not marked on the chart.

Although the chart in Su Mu's hand is considered the most detailed version, due to various reasons, the chart cannot be comprehensive and mark every island.

Either it is irrelevant, or it is new due to changes in the earth's crust.

Obviously, Jinqiao Island, named by the four of them, belongs to the latter.

According to their observations, this Golden Bridge Island probably only appeared within the past ten years.

Because this place is only a few thousand miles away from Yue'er Island, and there happens to be an eye of the sea. It may be that Yue'er Island is about to be born again, so the earth's crust moves frequently.

Unconsciously, they actually talked about Yue'er Island.

"Old Bai, you are well-informed. Do you know how many times Yue'er Island has been born? I heard people say that at least seventy or eighty of the secret treasures in Yue'er Island have been taken out. Could it be that the treasures inside are endless? Can’t do it?”

There was once a time when Hu Jinpeng missed Yue'er Island. After so many years, he still couldn't let go.

"I talked about this matter with a fellow Jindan from Lingqiao Palace, and he didn't hide it from me. According to him, there are almost one hundred and eight treasures in Yue'er Island, which is the number of Tiangang.

After so many years of use, I'm afraid there's not much left in it. "Baida Nian also lamented.

Obviously they all grew up listening to the legend of Yue'er Island, but they didn't have this opportunity. No wonder when the three of them talked about Yue'er Island, each of them looked like someone else owed them millions. Like spiritual stones.

"Hahaha, it turns out that there is only a little left. Since Yue'er Island is about to be emptied, does it mean that the only things left in it are almost all leftovers, and there must be no good goods."

Situ Sitong thought about it and felt a little relieved.

"That's wrong. Just because there are fewer and fewer things in Yue'er Island, almost all the things that remain in it are of the best quality. Otherwise, how could Yue'er Island be able to suppress the person in Haiyan? , I’m afraid it has been overthrown a long time ago.”

Although Baida Nian also wanted to be as innocent and innocent as Situ Sitong, whatever he couldn't get, it must be junk. But as a know-it-all, how could he pretend not to know!

"Is it possible that there is a spiritual treasure in there?" Situ Sitong asked in surprise.

At this time, Hu Jinpeng seemed to have remembered something and suddenly interjected, "By the way, I heard that there are four magic refining treasures on Yue'er Island. Only two have been taken out so far, one is in Lingqiao Palace, and the other is It is said that one piece is treasured by the East China Sea Crystal Palace. In other words, there may be two other pieces left on Yue'er Island!"

"The most powerful one among them should be used to suppress that one. Unless this is the only one left, otherwise it will not be born in advance anyway."

Baida Nian has obviously heard this rumor, and he even knows it more thoroughly.

"Forget it, forget it. What's the use of talking about this anymore. After so many years, we haven't even touched Yue'er Island's token, so why care about it.

If we have this spare time, we might as well focus on our newly discovered Jinqiao Island.

As long as we pick all the fire dragon flowers in that place, given the rarity of this spiritual flower, maybe everyone can get a few more pills! "

As he listened, Situ Sitong felt more and more irritable, so he simply pretended not to know anything to feel better.

The remaining two people also had no intention of continuing to talk about this matter, and began to discuss in detail how to obtain the Fire Dragon Flower. They must discuss a complete plan.

However, Su Mu, who was listening silently, heard all these things word for word in his heart.

No one knew that he not only had Yue'er Island tokens in his hand, but he even had three of them.
