Three days later.
Confucius Cave.
After three days of working day and night to refine the elixir.
Kong Ji's eyes were already covered with red threads, and his entire face was covered with visible fatigue.
Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, his eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the black turtle furnace in front of him.
There is a faint medicinal fragrance spreading out of the furnace, which proves that this furnace of intermittent ointment has been successful.
And in front of him was the last batch of his ten-part anointing.
A total of ten pieces of intermittent ointment were refined, and eight of them were useless, with a failure rate of up to 80%.
The only intermittent ointment that did not fail was only 55% effective. Relying on the characteristics of the turtle furnace, it was blessed with 50% of the potency, making it a finished product.
If there were no turtle furnace, the failure rate of Kongji would be as high as 90%.
And this last furnace is all Kong Jiang's hope.
With his trembling arms, he touched the lid of the turtle stove.
Confucius uncovered it.
Phew! The strong medicinal power surged out, forming a blue mist.
When the smoke dissipated, a group of cyan viscous objects appeared in front of Kong Ji's eyes.
Confucius ignored the hotness of the sticky object and carefully put it into the jade bottle.
I just checked the quality of the intermittent paste.
"Sixty percent of the potency of the medicine. After the blessing of the turtle furnace, it is sixty-and-a-half percent of the potency."
"I succeeded!" Kong Xian murmured, but there was no happy expression on his face. .
Ten materials, two successes.
The intermittent ointment worth two thousand spiritual crystals, two servings are only four thousand spiritual crystals, and the blood is lost.
Fortunately, Kong Ji relied on the spiritual crystal to pile up a finished second-grade elixir, and finally found some feeling of refining the second-grade elixir.
"As long as we break through this shackle, the success rate next time should be much higher. These nine thousand spiritual crystal flowers are worth it." Kong Xian comforted himself while holding the intermittent ointment in his arms.
After saying that, he turned his head and lay down on the ground.
Ignoring the coldness of the ground, I fell asleep.
Alchemy consumes a lot of money from the alchemist. He must be highly concentrated and his spiritual power cannot be slackened at all. It is no less than fighting against others.
Winter passes and spring comes, the winter snow melts and the earth returns to spring.
It’s that time of year again when everything is renewed.
Counting the years, this is already the fifth year that Kong Jin has entered the Cangwu Sect.
This year is also the 20th year that Kong Jiang was born in this world, entering the year of weak crown.
And this year happens to be the year when Cangwu Sect recruits disciples from the outside world every five years.
Many young faces began to appear in the outer sect of Cangwu Sect.
There are young people with extraordinary talents who are full of ambition, and there are also ignorant young people who look at the unfamiliar environment blankly.
Just like Kong Zhen’s group of disciples who entered the Cangwu Sect, they will grow up listening to many legends about their predecessors.
As your cultivation deepens, you will see the cruel side of the world and mature step by step.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the outer gate, the inner gate is as quiet as a paradise.
Only the few inner disciples who are the core of the sect and those who are powerful in the Ascended Wheel Realm are qualified to set foot in this vast realm.
Under the main peak, inside the Kongji Cave.
With a solemn face, Kong Zhi refined a jar of the demonic blood of a Nine Realm demonic beast that he purchased from an inner sect disciple and poured it into the half-refined puppet in front of him.
The corpse of Lian Puppet was obtained after Kong Xian was ambushed by a team of seven in the valley of the Xiling Mountains and killed their leader.
Seeing that the Qinghu Paradise event was about to take place, Kong Jiang naturally wanted to prepare all the means he could.
Although the combat power of low-level puppet refining is not of great use, it is still very useful as eyes, ears and cannon fodder sometimes.
For example, during his trip to the blessed land of Xihuang, Kong Jiang had a crisis and escaped by sacrificing Lian Puppet to buy himself some time.
The refining puppet in front of me will be the most expensive one among all the refining puppets that Kong Ji has made.
The corpse is that of a monk from the Ninth Realm, and the demon blood is also the blood of a Ninth Realm monster that Kong spent five hundred spiritual crystals to buy from a senior brother from the inner sect.
Even the medicinal materials used to refine the puppet are the best.
Once this refining puppet is completed, it will be the most powerful of all the low-level refining puppets that Kong Chi has refined.
Kong Ji slowly controlled the demon blood with the power of his spiritual consciousness, and then it was completely absorbed by Lian Puppet.
He was not in a hurry to draw the formation on Lian Puppet's body to drive Lian Puppet.
But after thinking for a moment, he took out a transparent light group wrapped in his own frost-white spiritual power from the Qiankun Pouch.
It was that group, the remaining breath of Fengyu, the essence of human character and heaven and earth, that Kong Zhi got from the strong wind at the entrance of Xihuang Paradise.
Holding the remaining breath of Feng Yu, Kong Ji looked at the refining puppet that had been mostly completed, and fell into deep thought: "According to Shen Chong Puppet Refining, intermediate and above puppet refining can use heaven and earth. The refined essence can greatly enhance the combat power of the refined puppet."
"I just don't know if this low-level refined puppet can withstand the power of the essence of heaven and earth."
< br>The reason why low-level puppet refining is called low-level puppet refining is that, as the name suggests, it is just consumables. This level of refining puppet can break through the sky and have the strength of the top of the Nine Realms.
There is no need to use the essence of heaven and earth to refine it.
However, intermediate level puppets need to be refined by monks in the Ascension Wheel Realm. Kong Ji’s current Jin Ming Divine Refining Method cannot refine intermediate puppets.
Therefore, we can only improve its combat power as much as possible on the basis of low-level puppet refining.
It is a good idea to refine the essence of heaven and earth for puppet refining.
But Kong Xian was worried that it wouldn't be able to withstand it. After all, there was no explanation in the Divine Training Puppet about whether the low-level training puppet could withstand the essence of heaven and earth.
“No matter what, let’s try it!” After pondering for a long time, Kong Ji gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
Isn't it just a loss of a corpse and some refining materials? When he refined the intermittent ointment, he threw thousands of spiritual crystals into it, so he didn't miss this little money.
Having made a decision in his heart, Kong Zhi immediately activated the power of his spiritual consciousness by controlling the essence of heaven and earth and integrating it into the puppet according to the records in the Divine Exercise Puppet.
Following the flashes of golden light, divine consciousness shone on the spiritual power of frost and snow that imprisoned Feng Yu’s remaining breath.
The spiritual power cage slowly melted under the control of Kong Ji.
Feng Yu’s remaining breath was immediately exposed to the air. call! A gust of wind waves spread out from Feng Yu's body.
A whirlwind set off in Kong Ji's cave, blowing up Kong Ji's long black hair that had not been trimmed for a long time.
He squinted his eyes and ignored the strong wind blowing on his face.
Using the power of divine consciousness to bind Feng Yu’s remaining breath, he then slowly moved closer to Lian Puppet.
During this process, his hands continued to form seals, creating ripples of spiritual power, leaving a mark similar to a crescent moon on Feng Yu's body.
At first, Feng Yu's remaining breath was still somewhat resistant to Lian Puppet, lingering on the surface of Lian Puppet's body and unwilling to enter.
Until he got the mark formed, Feng Yu's remaining breath seemed to be restrained, and he gradually stopped struggling.
Kong Ji was pressed into Lian Puppet's body very smoothly.
The moment when Feng Yu’s remaining breath entered Lian Puppet’s body.
Buzz! A circle of strong wind suddenly shook out of Lian Puppet's body, which was originally lifelike, and spread with Lian Puppet as the center.
Then this low-level puppet was slowly lifted into the air by the strong wind under Kong Ji's gaze, and floated in the mid-air of the cave.
Kong Ji could sense the power of Feng Yu’s remaining breath, which was running wildly inside Lian Puppet’s body.
Fortunately, this puppet is strong enough and can barely withstand the power of Feng Yu's remaining breath.
"Huh! It's okay!" Seeing this scene, Kong Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he pulled Lian Puppet down from mid-air and began to use the power of his spiritual consciousness to copy the formation that drove Lian Puppet's action on his abdomen.
This process only took a stick of incense.
The rest is to refine the puppet and use the formation as the core to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth.
When the formation is filled with spiritual power, it is done.
“I don’t know how strong this puppet is. It has a physical body that is comparable to physical cultivation, and the blessing of Feng Yu’s residual breath. Even if it cannot defeat the ones on the Hidden Dragon List, other Nine Realm monks should still be able to defeat them casually. "Yes." Kong Xian thought proudly.
At this moment, a clear call came from outside the cave.
"Junior brother Kong Ji, are you here? Your brother Shangguan is here!"
Hearing this, Kong Ji was stunned for a moment and then muttered: "Senior brother Shangguan has been released from seclusion?"
< br>After Shangguan Yuzhou became a disciple of Dongxian Sect, he went into seclusion for more than a month.
I don’t know what Dongxiantang taught him, but one thing is for sure, Shangguan Yuzhou is getting stronger and stronger.
When Kong Xian opened the cave and let Shangguan Yuzhou in.
Kong Ji could clearly see the difference in his eyes from when he first entered the inner gate.
Although Shangguan Yuzhou was still in the ninth level of Yanglun at that time, after absorbing the heavy Shengyou gold brought back by Kong Xian, he had the strength to enter the top thirty of the Qianlong Ranking.
Now, his aura is at least twice as strong as it was then.
The whole person's sharpness became even stronger. The moment he stepped into the cave, the water surface of the pool on the left side of the Kongji Cave automatically started to have dense ripples without any wind.
It seems like something is constantly disturbing the water.
When his eyes were closed inadvertently, the sharp sword light was revealed. Ordinary Nine Realm monks would no longer have the courage to fight just by seeing his eyes.
"Senior Brother Shangguan today is probably even more powerful than Lu Wenji." Kong Jiang secretly judged.
At the same time, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Shangguan for his great improvement in cultivation."
"Haha, Junior Brother Kong Ji has good eyesight." Shangguan Yuzhou is now like a sharp blade that has been unsheathed, spitting out words from his mouth Every word is breathtaking and sharp.
He didn't seem to notice this, and the smile on his face was as cheerful as ever.
“This time I go to Qinghu Paradise and watch your senior brother sacrifice Yuan Xiao’s sword!”
Shangguan Yuzhou is obsessed with Yuan Xiao.
Before, I went to Quejinmen to block the door and yell at him because I wanted to vent his anger on behalf of Kong Jiang.
The two were able to fight back and forth at the beginning.
Who would have known that that boy suddenly broke through the ninth realm of Yang Lun and seriously injured Shangguan Yuzhou, who was only in the eighth realm at the time.
Shangguan Yuzhou was naturally unconvinced.
When I first broke through the Ninth Realm, I kept thinking about going to the Golden Tempering Gate again to get my place back.
Nai He had to hold the inner gate ceremony, which was delayed.
Currently, the cultivation level is greatly improved, and there is a grand gathering in Qinghu Paradise. I expect Yuan Xiao will definitely go there.
Shangguan Yuzhou has already thought about how to deal with Yuan Xiao this time.
"Yuan Xiao is a trivial matter. The one we are most careful about is Ling Xi." Kong Xian smiled and reminded Shangguan Yuzhou not to forget Ling Xi's existence.
“This Qinghu Blessed Land grand event is about to begin, and Ling Xi, who is at the top of the Hidden Dragon List, will definitely come. When I see the disciples of the Cangwu Sect, I am afraid that I will be ruthless.”
"Especially when you see me!" Kong Jiang added this sentence in his mind.
"It doesn't matter, you and I will join forces to meet the dragon head." Shangguan Yuzhou smiled, not knowing whether he was too confident in himself or in Kong Jiang's strength.
I actually have the idea of fighting Ling Xi.
“Senior Brother Shangguan is so courageous.” Kong Ji smiled brightly, but his answer was non-committal.
He was not Shangguan Yuzhou. When he was in Yanglun Five Realms, he dared to go to Huangfu Wuqin for discussion. Kong Xian even suspected that Shangguan Yuzhou didn't know what fear was.
He didn’t want to fight Lingxi a second time unless he had to.
The two brothers haven't been together for a long time.
We talked happily for a long time in Kong Xian's cave.
As for the existence of the refining puppet, Shangguan Yuzhou didn't pay much attention after taking a look.
It is also rare that he did not say anything about not being distracted by playing tricks.
Because before, Shangguan Yuzhou had asked Kong Fu not to be distracted by alchemy.
Who would have thought that Kong Jiang was tinkering with alchemy by himself, and even came up with the Nourishing Qi Pill and the Little Broken Mirror Pill, and he was already a first-class alchemist.
Not to mention that his cultivation has not fallen behind yet, and he has benefited a lot from it.
Without the Qi-nourishing Pill and the Small Mirror-breaking Pill that Kong Ji gave him, he would never have reached the Nine Realms now.
Don’t talk about his puppetry skills. Even if Kong Ji went to learn weapon refining now, Shangguan Yuzhou wouldn’t even cough. (End of this chapter)
