Chapter 188 Three Years
After Li Qianyin moved into the new cave, he began to refine weapons.
Li Qianqing also returned to the cave, but he did not start practicing or doing other things immediately, but was thinking about refining alchemy.
Next year, the Aesculus grown in the second-level low-grade spiritual field in Changqing Mountain will mature, and the second-level low-grade spiritual elixir can be refined.
The second-level low-grade spiritual field in Changqing Mountain has one acre, and there will be more Aesculus planted here than in Changqing Mountain. Therefore, the second-level low-grade spiritual elixir he will refine next year will also be more many.
The year after that was the day to refine the first-level middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill, and then three years later, it was time to refine the first-order middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill.
The former is the mature elixir refined from the Li family’s previous spiritual land, and the latter is the mature elixir grown on the occupied Jiang family’s spiritual field.
Although he currently does not need to refine elixirs below the first-level mid-grade, as well as some first-order mid-grade elixirs, he must be required to refine the first-order mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills. One serving.
‘The family’s alchemist still needs to be trained more. In the future, I should also reduce the refining of first-level mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills. ’
It was okay when there was no Foundation Establishment. Now that he has become a Foundation Establishment monk, Li Qianqing feels that refining the first-order mid-grade elixir is a waste of time. It is still the early stage of foundation building, and he strives not to interfere in the refining of the family's first-level and lower-grade elixirs after entering the middle stage of foundation building.
After a little calculation, he planned to refine 80% of the first-level mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill the next year, and the remaining 20% could be given to the family's alchemist for training. In the early stages of training an alchemist, a lot of it would be wasted. Panacea.
The third alchemist in the family does not refine first-order middle-grade elixirs, but also refines more first-order low-grade elixirs, but he has not refined first-order middle-grade elixirs yet. Qi Dan, with the accumulation of a lot of experience and his alchemy talent, is not bad, but it is a little worse than Li Ditu. If he is given 20% of the first-order mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill to refine, he should have good results.
Li Qianyin came out of seclusion in less than half a month.
Although she was very well prepared, the refining of low-grade spiritual weapons was more difficult than she imagined. She had only done simulation experiments before, and only by actually doing it could she understand the difficulties.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to refine low-grade spiritual weapons this year." Li Qianyin was a little distressed.
Unlike refining magic weapons, the materials for refining spiritual weapons are very expensive.
In less than half a month, she had consumed less than half of the materials.
These materials for refining spiritual weapons were all stored by her in the later stages of Qi refining.
"Brother Qianqing, I'm so annoyed..."
Li Qianyin came to Li Qianqing's cave to pour out her bitterness. This time she refined a low-grade spiritual weapon, which was a big blow to her self-confidence. .
Fortunately, this was Changqing Mountain, and Li Qianqing was by her side. Otherwise, she wouldn't know where to pour the bitter water, which would only make herself more upset.
After speaking in front of Li Qianqing in one breath, Li Qianyin felt much better.
During this period, Li Qianqing has been listening silently.
The problem Li Qianyin encountered seemed to him to be a normal thing.
Whether it is the span from first-level elixir to second-level elixir in alchemy, or the span from magical weapon to spiritual weapon in refining, the difficulty of refining is rising straight up.
"Brother Qianqing, can you tell me how you refined the second-level elixir?" Li Qianyin blinked at Li Qianqing. She wanted to hear Li Qianqing's story to regain her confidence.
Li Qianqing’s alchemy talent is amazing, so he should not encounter the problems she is facing now.
Her father also told her that the number of second-grade low-grade spiritual elixirs refined by Li Qianqing far exceeded their expectations.
"Okay." Li Qianqing nodded, and then briefly explained how he first refined the second-level elixir.
The story he made up is very reasonable. When he refined the second-level low-grade spiritual elixir before, it was not only because of his talent, but also because of luck.
"... Of course, my accumulation of experience in alchemy during the Qi refining period is also very important. Without experience, no matter how good my talent is, it is impossible to achieve the results at that time. Also, the realm is also very important. The second-level elixir comes in the final foundation building period. Refining, if you do it during the Qi refining period, it will cause more waste. This is similar to your weapon refining. You are already in the foundation building period, and you have just refined it like this. If you are in the Qi refining period, start refining the spiritual weapon. If you do, even if you are given five times more materials, you will not be able to refine a low-grade spiritual weapon in the end."
When Li Qianqing made his final summary, Li Qianyin couldn't help but nodded.
Fortunately, she listened to Brother Qian Qing and should not touch the spiritual weapon during the Qi refining period, otherwise she would have regretted it even more.
“Yin Yin, I suggest you refine three or four top-grade magic weapons now, accumulate some experience, and be more suitable for refining the foundation-building period weapons, and then proceed to refine the lower-grade magic weapons. , the probability of success will be greater.”
“Okay, Brother Qianqing”
Li Qianyin expressed that she understood that she originally planned to refine the lower-grade spiritual weapons before refining the higher-grade magical weapons, which would also increase the family's income, but now her plan has changed slightly.
After entering the foundation building stage, she had no intention of refining a mid-grade magic weapon.
In addition to her, the Li family now also has a weapon refiner at the fifth and seventh levels of Qi Refining. Although they are not as talented as her in weapon refining, they are still good. Now the family is low-ranking. She doesn't need to worry about the refining of magic weapons and mid-grade magic weapons at all.
As for her in the foundation building stage, refining mid-grade magic weapons would hardly help her with her weapon refining experience.
The two weapon refiners in the family were trained by Li Lilong. He did this so that Li Qianyin would not make excuses, saying that the family did not have her weapon refiners. In the future, the family stores would sell much fewer magic weapons.
This was Li Qianyin's excuse before.
Even if there is no weapon refiner in the family, the magic weapons sold in the shop can be refined by other weapon refiners, but the income will be much less.
This is also what happened before. After Li Qianyin became the core member of the family, Li Lilong ignored her affairs. Of course, the family continued to train weapon refiners.
Now that the Li family is stronger, there should be more alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman makers in the family. If possible, it would be best to have a clan member who is talented in formations.
Alchemy Talisman Array!
Among the hundreds of cultivation arts, the four most famous arts have the smallest number of formation mages.
“In addition to refining weapons, now that you have entered the foundation building stage, Yinyin, you should pay more attention to your cultivation. Let’s not talk about things as far away as the pill forming stage. You must do it within at least forty years. Let’s enter the middle stage of foundation building.”
With the current number of second-level low-grade spiritual elixirs from the Li family, a normal dual-spiritual monk can practice normally and obtain family contribution points, and then exchange them for second-level low-grade spiritual elixirs to assist in cultivation. If so, there won’t be much of a problem in breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building within forty years.
"I know Brother Qian Qing, even if I want to refine weapons now, I don't have that many materials to refine weapons." It was fine during the Qi refining period, but now she has entered the foundation building period and started to refine spiritual weapons. , the shortage of materials can already be felt.
"I'm afraid that you will waste time starting to refine a medium-grade magic weapon later." This was Li Qianqing's small worry. He was just worried about Li Qianyin's itchy hands.
"No." Li Qianyin was very determined.
Seeing Li Qianyin like this, Li Qianqing felt relieved.
The Li family currently owns four micro-spirit mines. Except for the micro-spirit mine, the other three micro-spirit mines are exclusively owned by the Li family. The best blue rock spiritual mine is a pity blue rock. It's just an auxiliary material for refining weapons, otherwise the Li family's business of selling magic weapons could be bigger.
One of the last two micro-spiritual mines is almost exhausted and can be mined for up to five years.
Li Qianyin stayed in Li Qianqing's cave for about two hours, and then returned to his own cave and started practicing after taking the second-level low-grade spirit-boosting pill. Li Qianqing also continued his practice at this time.
……
Three years later.
Changqing Mountain.
In Li Xingsheng’s residence.
The mutant gold-eating rat was standing aside at the moment, doing nothing. It looked at Li Xingsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the pouch.
Li Xingsheng is now in a critical breakthrough state.
The breakthrough from the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining to the seventh level of Qi refining.
After completing the breakthrough, he will be a late-stage Qi Refining monk!
With three spiritual roots, it is not very difficult for him to break through from the middle stage of Qi refining to the late stage of Qi refining. Normally, he will not fail. Since he is still the foundation-building seed of the family, such a breakthrough must not fail. Once it fails, his identity will be questioned to some extent.
Foundation building can fail, but if the breakthrough fails here, it will become a joke.
The breakthrough process was relatively smooth. Under the gaze of Shushu, he successfully broke through and entered the late stage of Qi refining!
"Successful!" Li Xingsheng was very happy the moment he opened his eyes after completing the breakthrough.
This is the joy that breakthrough brings.
And after entering the seventh level of Qi Refining, Uncle Thirteen will bring him into contact with monsters and begin to truly control them.
"Chichi, chichi..."
The moment Li Xingsheng made a successful breakthrough, Shushu came to him and screamed desperately to express its happiness.
Li Xingsheng completed his breakthrough, and Shuashu was naturally very happy, and he also knew that this breakthrough was very crucial to Li Xingsheng. After the breakthrough was successful, his whole aura was different.
"Hahaha, I know you are happy, and the next step is your breakthrough." Li Xingsheng smiled happily and held Shushu in the palm of his hand. The breakthrough he was talking about was naturally the mutated gold-eating mouse. Breakthrough from mid-stage to late stage one.
Today he is less than twenty-five years old. It is difficult for ordinary three-spirited monks to reach the seventh level of Qi refining at this age. The speed of cultivation is fast, and it is indispensable for the family to redeem the first-level mid-grade Qi gathering pill.
Originally, the exchange price for the first-level mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill in the family library was 400 family contribution points. After the Thirteenth Uncle refined most of the first-order mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill the year before last, the exchange price became 380 contribution points. , despite only missing 20 contribution points, the exchange price has been reduced again this time. At the beginning, the first-level mid-grade Qi Gathering Pill still required 500 contribution points to redeem.
Li Xingsheng has taken a lot of first-level middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills over the years, and he gets a lot of contribution points every year, including the status bonus of foundation-building seeds.
The only thing that makes Li Xingsheng feel regretful is that except for the miniature blue rock spiritual minerals, he and Shushu have never discovered any other spiritual minerals in these years.
But the core senior management of the family didn’t care. Spiritual mines are hard to find, and whether they exist is still a question. Even if no spiritual mines are found for twenty or thirty years, it wouldn’t be surprising. If spiritual mines are easy to find, Now the Li family owns a lot of spiritual mines.
Push open the door.
It's snowing lightly in the sky.
Li Xingsheng came to Li Qianqing’s cave.
Now that Li Qianqing is not in retreat, he can knock on the door.
After he knocked twice, the stone door of the cave opened slowly.
"Thirteenth Uncle." Li Xingsheng called respectfully. At this time, Shushu came to Li Xingsheng's head and chirped.
Li Qianqing looked at Li Xingsheng after the breakthrough and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, we have entered the late stage of Qi refining."
When Li Xingsheng entered the seventh level of Qi refining, his calculations were similar.
While speaking, he also glanced at the mutant gold-eating rat.
Compared with Li Xingsheng's breakthrough, he is more looking forward to Shushu's breakthrough. This mutated gold-eating rat is not only being raised by Li Xingsheng, but also by the entire family. The family has already invested a lot of money in raising it. If the current Shushu had to calculate the resources, they would be similar to those of a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but he was still a beginner.
So it will take a lot of time and resources to reach its mid-level peak.
After reaching the peak of the middle stage of the first level, breakthrough is the difficulty. You must know that ordinary gold-eating rats cannot break through to the late stage of the first-order, so the breakthrough to reach this level is very critical for the mutant gold-eating rats.
"Thirteenth Uncle, now that I have entered the seventh level of Qi Refining, when will we set off?" Li Xingsheng asked expectantly.
When he entered the late stage of Qi refining, Li Qianqing took him to the real beast control, which was equivalent to going out for training.
According to what the Thirteenth Uncle said at the time, it seemed that he was going to take him away from the Kingdom of Zhao and go to the Kingdom of Yue in the north.
“How are you doing with the beast control skills I gave you?”
"We have reached the stage of Xiaocheng." Li Xingsheng replied immediately.
The beast control skills given to him by the Thirteenth Uncle were relatively advanced and were somewhat difficult to practice.
In order to practice this beast-controlling technique, he spent a lot of energy, otherwise he would be able to enter the seventh level of Qi refining faster.
This energy must be consumed. Li Xingsheng understood that it was not easy for Li Qianqing to give him this beast-controlling skill. Because of this beast-controlling skill, Li Qianqing left Changqing Mountain for more than half a month. time.
Li Xingsheng also cherishes the beast control skills that his thirteenth uncle got for him.
"As long as you reach the Xiaocheng realm." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction. He was not surprised by this result. Although the beast control skills he gave were indeed more advanced, they could not match Li Xingsheng's talent in beast control.
For monks who are highly talented in controlling beasts, practicing the art of controlling beasts will get twice the result with half the effort.
He would only be disappointed if Li Xingsheng did not practice the beast control skills he gave him to a small level. Obviously Li Xingsheng did not disappoint him.
“We will set off in half a month, and I will come to you then. During this half month, in addition to consolidating your cultivation, you can devote your time and energy to the art of beast control. If you can It's better to go to the next level."
"Yes, Thirteenth Uncle." Li Xingsheng understood.
It is already mid-November, and half a month later, it will be early December.
Li Xingsheng is looking forward to his journey of controlling beasts.
