Chapter 71 The Secret of the Best Pill
"Brother Yu once heard about it by chance." Ma Tianxiong nodded, and then a strange look appeared on his face: "Junior Brother Ye seems to be very interested in the best pill. According to your qualifications, as long as you work hard, even the following level pills are enough to build a foundation."
"Haha." Lin Xuan had a smile on his face, but his heart was shaking. He had just lost his composure. He quickly said indifferently: "I made a joke from my senior brother. I was just curious and was interested in all kinds of strange stories by nature."
"Well." Ma Tianxiong did not doubt that Lin Xuan's magical magic technique was extremely wonderful. With his current cultivation level, no one could recognize his true face unless he was a master in the Dan Condensation Stage. Ma Tianxiong continued: "Brother Yu had accidentally seen an introduction to the best marrow cleaning pill in an ancient book..."
This guy does not doubt that he has him. Anyway, this is not a valuable secret. He is just a chat, just like Lin Xuan tells it.
It turns out that the elixirs circulating in the cultivation world are incorrectly classified.
Lower, medium, and high-quality products are indeed divided into grades according to the content of impurities, but the legendary top-quality pill is not just that.
The so-called top-grade pill has a great effect. In addition to the extremely high proportion of essence content and very few impurities, it also needs to undergo secondary tempering.
What is secondary tempering?
As we all know, by placing various treasures of heaven and earth in a cauldron and refining them by experienced cultivators, you can get finished elixirs.
This is a tempering.
To obtain the best-grade pill, you must first prepare the best-grade pill that has been successfully refined, and then supplement it with several other spiritual medicines and refine it again, which is the so-called alchemy refining pills.
Because it has been refined twice in total, it is also called secondary tempering.
From the process alone, you can imagine its difficulty. You must know that even a famous sect with a wealthy family and a powerful alchemist cannot refine top-grade elixirs. The only inventory in the sect has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that it was "accidentally" refined under excellent luck.
To refining the best pill, the above-grade pills are used as raw materials. Once they fail, the best pills will be scrapped. Who is willing to give up? Not even the flesh is so painful that they vomit blood?
However, for Lin Xuan, this is nothing. With his current cultivation level, although the success rate of purifying the top-grade pill is very low, it is barely enough. It takes at most some time and is not a problem.
But what Ma Tianxiong said next made him really encounter a problem.
"What? In addition to the need for top-grade pills as the main ingredient, how many flavors of heaven and earth spirit herbs should be added during the second tempering?"
"Yes." Ma Tianxiong nodded: "According to ancient books, refining the best pill requires two auxiliary ingredients such as Silver Moon Flower and Liuyingcao."
The ingredients of the top-grade pill are slightly different from the previous elixirs, which is why Lin Xuan has never been able to succeed by purifying and concentrating the essence.
I got the secret about the best pill from Ma Tianxiong, but Lin Xuan felt no relief at all. The best pill is easy to deal with, but this two-flavor spiritual herb as an auxiliary...
Lin Xuan once read the introduction to them from "Records of the Hundred Grasses". Unlike medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, silver moon flowers and lingering grass are the real spiritual treasures of the world, and their number is even rarer than that of ginseng.
Where can I find this?
"In fact, this heaven and earth spiritual herb is not without its origin."
"Senior Brother know?" Lin Xuan was surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, Ma Tianxiong was so big and thick, but his knowledge was so rich that he could be called "All Things".
"It grows when you jump into the stream."
"The stream is leaping on the stream!" Lin Xuan heard this, his face remained silent, but his expression was a little bitter. The reason was that this stream is a notorious place where monsters grow, and it is extremely dangerous.
If it is just a monster nest, Lin Xuan may not dare to break through. As the saying goes, it is normal for people to die for money and birds to die for food. If you want to obtain the spiritual herb of heaven and earth, it is normal to take some risks. Moreover, although there are many monsters there, most of them are only at level one. With his current cultivation level, he can barely deal with it.
But the current situation is a little different. Xiyuejian is located north of Yanzhou, only a few dozen miles away from Huoling Gate, which is considered their sphere of influence. Now the two cultivation alliances are engaged in a war of attrition, and they are in a camp that is hostile to them. Going to Xiyuejian to collect herbs is not to fall into the trap and become the target of being hunted?
It’s a good idea to stay in the sect, but depending on the situation, it’s impossible to successfully build a foundation no matter what.
Lin Xuan was in a dilemma. Originally, he had a way out. He relied on the magic of the devil, took off Piaoyun Valley's clothes, and put on his makeup and went secretly. Although this big conflict in the cultivation world in Yanzhou caused those cultivators who had no sect but were not of any force to suffer from the disaster and were accidentally injured and killed, they were much safer than the disciples of the sect after all.
But soon, Lin Xuan's wishful thinking was ruined.
Although it is a war of attrition, there will be no large-scale fighting or attacking the other party's main body, other means are used to the extreme. Never underestimate these monks who pursue the path of immortality. They usually look like immortality and have a good appearance, but they really use insidious tricks, but they are despicable and shameless, and even bloody and crueler than the world.
In addition to hunting each other's solitary disciples, they also sent dead soldiers to sect and assassinate high-level monks. This is a trick to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot. Although most of the dead soldiers sent are gone forever, the effect is very obvious.
The key to knowing whether a sect is powerful or not is the high-level cultivator. The disciples in the Agility Stage are just cannon fodder. No matter how many deaths are, they cannot hurt the root cause. But the high-level cultivator is different. If too many people die at the hands of an assassin, the strength of that sect will be greatly damaged.
Once the balance between the hostile sides is broken, then it will no longer be a war of attrition and will inevitably turn into a massacre that will never end.
Of course, neither side wanted their sect to fall. In order to release the death warrior assassin sent by the other side, the two alliances each invented an identity recognition spell.
