Chapter 67 The Old Man
“My life is in danger, how can I say this?” Lu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes.
"You also know that our Lingxiao Palace family has a great cause. The number of disciples in the Qi Refining Period alone has been in the tens of thousands for a long time. There are always some people with evil intentions and unruly disciples. Although there are some disciples were executed, but a considerable number of them were also exiled to various mines. These people have lived in the There are many strong bones in the mine, and you may even encounter monks in the late stage of Qi refining. Although they have not replenished the elixir for many years and have their spiritual weapons taken away, they only have a mining pick, but they can still kill people. They died. From what I have, there are several juniors who entered the mine and never came out."
< br>"And the mine is dug deeper and deeper, and it has become as tangled as a spider web. From time to time, monsters will come out of the cracks in the ground. Three years ago, a fourth-level monster scorpion even appeared, killing hundreds of people. The miners, and later the palace men sent several foundation-building master uncles into the cave to kill the demon scorpion.”
"Just go to the Heishui Village Mine!" Despite Luo Kang's repeated warnings, Lu Xiaotian still made a decision quickly. As for the problem that ordinary monks cannot hide spiritual stones privately, it is not a problem for him at all. He has no problem with how many spiritual stones there are. It can be sent to the barrier, and the Heishui Village Mine is the only mine that contains several kinds of spiritual stones. It is convenient for him to ripen various spiritual herbs.
After entering the mine, it was dark. Even if Qian Dali wanted to send someone to watch him, he would have to be able to keep an eye on him. According to Luo Kang, the tunnels in the mine were as dense as a spider web. It would be like hiding a few people. Looking for a needle in a haystack.
Only by entering the mine can we temporarily get rid of Qian Dali's entanglement. But before going to the Heishui Village Mine, you have to go to the Library Hall first.
The Book Collection Hall is less than ten miles away from the main Lingxiao Palace. This is mainly because the Book Collection Hall is related to the Taoist inheritance of Lingxiao Palace. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, or an abnormal situation such as a fire occurs, the foundation-building monks in the main palace can rush to help with their swords in an instant.
On the outside, there seemed to be only two Qi Refining Dzogchen monks guarding the library hall, but no one had the guts to cause trouble here. Lu Xiaotian entered the main hall. Only then did he realize that there was a cave inside. In the spacious hall, other monks came and went from time to time, with varying levels of cultivation.
On the other side of the lobby, there are several bluestone lanes. Above each lane, there are descriptions of elixirs, weapon refining, formations, beast control, planting, spells, exercises, puppets, etc. Different text. It seems that the collection of books in Lingxiao Palace is really rich, but this is not surprising. Lingxiao Palace has established a sect for tens of thousands of years, so naturally it has dabbled in all aspects. The same is true for other sects.
For example, the ancient sword sect's weapon refining method, the Qingdan Palace's alchemy method, and the beast control method of the Ten Thousand Beast Pavilion have all been famous in the world of immortality for a long time. Also like Lingxiao Palace, Taiqing Sect is a relatively balanced sect that is not too outstanding and has average strength.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of monks came in and out. Lu Xiaotian walked into the alley of the elixir alone. The lane was about ten feet wide, and after walking for more than ten feet, my eyes suddenly opened up. A stone room stands in front of you. Inside, a rickety old man was fiddling with a few palm-sized black scales, mumbling something plausibly.
Looking across a stone house, there are bookshelves everywhere, but the books on them are not ordinary books, but a kind of jade slips. It seems that these are not the original works, but were rubbed into the jade slips using magic power.
Lu Xiaotian hesitated to say hello to this rickety old man. After all, the old man was the guard here, and the aura occasionally revealed by the rickety old man turned out to be that of a senior in the foundation building stage.
It’s just that the rickety old man was chattering away, and Lu Xiaotian was afraid of disturbing him, so he offended him. Now that he has been remembered by Qian Dali, if he offends another foundation-building monk, he will probably have no place in Lingxiao Palace.
Therefore, Lu Xiaotian stood aside and waited for more than half an hour. The rickety old man scratched his head in annoyance, "No, it's really troublesome."
"You kid, what are you doing here like a piece of wood?" Finally, the rickety old man noticed that he was standing there again. Lu Xiaotian next to him said angrily.
“Afraid of disturbing the seniors, the disciples are waiting nearby.” Lu Xiaotian’s mouth twitched. Did he want to stand here and act like wood?
"Well, I'm really interested. There are all kinds of elixirs in it. The elixirs needed for the Qi refining period only cost five low-grade spiritual stones to copy a jade slip. When it comes to foundation-building elixirs, twenty It's a low-grade spirit stone. Go in and look for it yourself. Call me when you're done. Stop pretending." The rickety old man waved his hand and put his attention back on the black scales, signaling Lu Xiaotian to do his own thing.
Lu Xiaotian felt like he was receiving amnesty, and he ignored the rickety old man's rake, crossed the stone house, and focused on these vast elixir recipes.
"Bailu Pill!" "Qingyang Pill!"
"Qi Condensation Pill!"
"Vitality Pill!"
Various Pill Recipes Lu Xiaotian was dazzled by what he saw. There were some pills whose names he had never even heard of before. They were just "Qingyang Pills" that were in the early stage of Qi refining and had similar effects to Qi Gathering Pills, or even several times more effective than Qi Gathering Pills. Refining the "Qingyang Pill" is more difficult than the Qi Gathering Pill, and requires more spiritual grass. Relatively speaking, Qi Gathering Pill is more popular, and the price is easier for ordinary monks to accept.
No wonder those disciples of foundation-building monks always practice much faster than ordinary disciples. It turns out that they are already one step ahead in elixirs.
"Bailu Dan" in the middle stage of Qi refining
"Uhua Dan" in the later stage of Qi refining
Although I already have the prescriptions of Qi Condensation Pill and Yuan Qi Dan in my hand , but according to the above introduction, taking these two elixirs will increase the cultivation speed by one third. For Lu Xiaotian, the most precious thing is time. On the one hand, it takes time to collect the spiritual grass seeds of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and on the other hand, he can no longer keep up with the younger sects this time. But next time, that is, before the sect competition seven years later, he must reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining no matter what. If he fails to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he must try his best to get a good ranking in the competition. , get as many foundation-building pills as possible.
So he must be prepared with both hands, collect the foundation-building elixir grass, and practice at the same time, and cannot put it down.
After selecting the elixirs for the Qi refining period, Lu Xiaotian came to the elixir area where the foundation-building monks belonged. Once again, I was attracted by the dazzling array of prescriptions.
"Foundation Building Pill!" Finally found it, Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed. Hold the jade slip of the Foundation Establishment Pill in your hand.
The "Huitian Pill!" can actually restore all the consumed mana in an instant. If you encounter an evenly matched or even slightly stronger opponent in a fight, wouldn't having a Huitian Pill instantly reverse the situation? ? Even if it is a spiritual stone, the speed of replenishing spiritual energy cannot completely catch up with the consumption.
The "Puiyuan Pill" is used to improve cultivation in the early stage of foundation building. The "Hanfeng Pill" is used in the middle stage.
There is even the "Condensing Gold Pill" that helps foundation building monks form pills
Lu Xiaotian was dazzled. One portion only cost twenty spirit stones. The price of the Qi Condensing Pills he bought in Wangyue City was more than this price. There are many spiritual stones in the barrier, and Lu Xiaozhen wants to copy all the dozens of elixirs he has chosen in one go.
However, this crazy idea can only be thought of. Lu Xiaotian soon calmed down again. If he really made dozens of copies, he would have to take out hundreds of spirit stones at once. This is not like a normal refining process. The financial resources that a monk in the mid-Qi period can have. While being stared at by Qian Dali, he actually acted like this, which was just adding insult to injury.
