Chapter 341 Planting planning and natal magic weapon
Eight years later.
Li Qiuben came out of the cave before dawn. It was now July and the weather was starting to get cooler.
Leaving the cave, Li Qiuben took a deep breath and felt very comfortable. Then, he went to the third-level low-grade spiritual field for the final ripening of the elixir Jiuqu Zhi.
It has been almost thirty years since the third-grade low-grade Jiuqu Zhi was planted.
If he had been in the early stage of foundation building, it would take several days for Jiuquzhi to ripen and harvest, but he had already reached the middle stage of foundation building a month ago, and the corresponding skills had also reached the second level, which was good for the elixir. Ripening is further enhanced.
This not only allows him to ripen more elixirs, but also further shortens the time it takes for the elixirs to ripen.
Monks who practice techniques that can ripen elixirs after normal foundation building basically stay in the early stage of foundation building throughout their lives. Because of the side effects of ripening elixirs, it is difficult for them to reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building.
These relatively special exercises are basically created by monks with special physiques. If you want to be immune to side effects, you must have a corresponding special physique.
Among the forces at the level of pill formation, many have monks who practice the method of ripening elixirs. If it is a family that cultivates immortality through pill formation, then these monks sacrificed for the family. Generally, their cultivation talents will be inferior. For example, in a family that cultivates immortality through alchemy, if a three-spirit monk with wood spirit roots succeeds in building a foundation, then he will basically have to sacrifice for the family and stay in the early stage of foundation building forever.
Not only do they have serious side effects when practicing such a technique, but their quantity and efficiency in ripening elixirs are far inferior to those of monks with special physiques.
On the third-level low-grade spiritual field, Li Qiuben completed the final ripening of Jiuquzhi.
“It’s ready to be harvested.”
Li Qiuben happily dug Jiuquzhi out of the third-order low-grade spiritual field. This was his first time to collect third-order low-grade elixir. A memorable thing.
After harvesting the five Jiuquzhi, he planted the Jiuquzhi again. Compared with these five Jiuquzhi, the other Jiuquzhi growing on the third-level low-grade spiritual field were all as fast as three. Decade vintage. The next step is to ripen these Jiuqu Zhi, and the Jiuqu Zhi he newly planted will have to wait for one round before starting to ripen.
At noon.
Li Qiuben arrived at the clan leader’s cave.
After harvesting Jiuqu Zhi, it must be handed over to the thirteenth great-grandfather and asked to refine the third-level elixir.
“Thirteenth great-grandfather, this is the Jiuquzhi harvested today.” Li Qiuben greeted Li Qianqing as a gift, and then handed Jiuquzhi to Li Qianqing.
“Well, good.”
Li Qianqing nodded. He had already collected the auxiliary elixirs for refining the third-level low-grade Jiuqu elixir. Now he only needed the main elixir Jiuquzhi. It is relatively easy for the Pill-forming Immortal Cultivation Family to collect elixirs below the third level. Over the years, the Li family has already collected a lot of the elixirs they want to collect.
"I beg you, you are already in the middle stage of foundation building. Now after you plant Jiuqu Zhi, what is the best time to ripen it?"
The so-called best time is in Jiuqu Zhi. During the normal growth cycle of Zhizhi, how to use the ripening elixir to accelerate the ripening? After the normal growth cycle of Zhizhi, the most amount of Zhizhi can be obtained. Trying your best to ripen a Jiuquzhi plant can help you get a Jiuquzhi plant in the fastest time, but from a long-term perspective, this is undoubtedly the most disadvantageous.
"Now...the best ripening time for Jiuquzhi is around twenty-seven years." Li Qiuben quickly gave the answer.
“Next, you just need to ripen the three Jiuquzhi. The ripening of the third-level low-grade Xuanling Flower and the third-level middle-grade Jade Lingxiao will also begin. Both of these elixirs must be ripened first. Let’s ripen two plants.”
According to his training plan, it would take about seventy or eighty years to practice from the early stage of pill formation to the middle stage of pill formation. Now he can prepare the elixirs used in the middle stage of pill formation.
The third-level mid-level Jade Lingxiao is the main elixir of the third-level mid-level Jade Sky Pill, and the Xuanling Flower is the only third-level auxiliary elixir for refining the Jade Sky Pill.
"Okay, thirteen great-grandfather." Li Qiuben wrote down what Li Qianqing said.
As for the planting and ripening of third-level elixirs, Li Qianqing is currently still arranging it for him.
It is worth mentioning that after reaching the middle stage of foundation building, Li Qiuben can manage more second-level spiritual fields. For the Li family, Li Qiuben's breakthrough means that the family spiritual fields can produce more spiritual fields every year. Lots of elixir resources.
Less than half an hour later, Li Qiuben left the clan leader's cave and returned to his own cave.
After taking care of the elixir and accelerating the ripening of the elixir, Li Qiuben spent a large part of the remaining time on cultivation. This is why he, who has been practicing for more than thirty years, The reason why you can move from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
Among the family foundation-building monks, he obtains the most resources per year on average. The reason is naturally from the ripening elixir. He has no shortage of contribution points to the family, and he also has no shortage of cultivation resources. If it weren't for ten His third great-grandfather told him to make a training plan based on his actual situation. If he had been immersed in hard training, he would have entered the middle stage of foundation building a few years faster.
After Li Qiuben left, the sign outside Li Qianqing's cave changed to a state of retreat.
This time his retreat time will be slightly longer, nearly two months.
He would refine each of the five elixirs needed to refine the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill in one furnace. Unless there was an alchemy furnace at the level of a low-grade magic weapon, he would never refine the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill in two portions.
Currently, he is still using a high-grade spiritual weapon-level alchemy furnace to refine elixirs.
It is difficult to obtain magic weapons in the Three Small Kingdoms, let alone magic weapons like alchemy furnaces. It is now known that the magic weapons of alchemy furnaces in the Three Small Kingdoms are all in the hands of alchemists at the level of alchemy, although Li Qianqing is now He is also a pill-forming alchemist, but he is still a newcomer.
Except for him, all the alchemists at the alchemy level in the three small countries have been alchemists for more than a hundred years.
Li Qianqing felt that rather than collecting the alchemy furnace magic weapon here, it would be more likely to wait for Qian Yin to have the ability to refine normal magic weapons and help him refine an alchemy furnace at the level of a first-grade low-grade magic weapon.
Li Qianyin, who has entered the late stage of foundation building, is already capable of refining top-grade spiritual weapons. Now it is easier for her to refine high-grade spiritual weapons of this level. After a few years of accumulation, Li Qianyin should start refining magic weapons.
For monks in the later stages of foundation building, refining magic weapons is challenging. As for the weapon refiners who can practice to the late stage of foundation building, they are relatively good in terms of cultivation talent and weapon refiner talent. If the latter's talent is poor, they will basically not take this path.
Any weapon refiner in the later stage of foundation building will basically refine first-level magic weapons as time goes by and their proficiency in weapon refining continues to increase. Many first-level magic weapons are foundation-building weapons. Refined by later weapon refiners.
The difficulty of refining ordinary magic weapons and natal magic weapons is very different. The former requires refining a magic weapon with corresponding functions according to the characteristics of the material. This must be refined by a weapon refiner, while the latter only needs to be refined according to the skill. It can be refined according to the steps in the law. As long as the spiritual power and elixir fire control are not too bad, it can basically be refined successfully in one go.
The refining of the natal magic weapon rarely fails. Even if it fails, it will only fail once at most. The second time will definitely succeed. If you can practice and break through to the elixir formation stage, there is basically no very outrageous existence.
Fifty-four days later.
Li Qianqing completed the refining of five furnaces of nine-melody elixirs. Among the thirty elixirs in total, two were waste elixirs.
Of the twenty-eight Nine-Tune Spiritual Pills, ten were of good quality. For Li Qianqing, he was quite satisfied with the result. "Seven or eight more pills will be enough."
Li Qianqing did a little calculation. In the next 40 to 50 years, if he wants to enter the middle stage of pill formation, these Jiuqu Spiritual Pills are still a bit short. .
The next time the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill is refined will be twenty-seven years later. Three batches of the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill can be refined in three furnaces. About seventeen Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill can be refined. Eighteen pills will be refined without any waste. In Dan's case, some luck is needed.
After the sign of the retreat outside the cave was changed, Li Qianqing, who returned to the cave, took the third-level low-grade Jiuqu Lingdan and started practicing.
……
The following year.
May.
Three months ago, Li Qiuxin of the Li family successfully established the foundation and became the tenth foundation-building monk in the family. If there is another foundation-building monk, the number of foundation-building monks in the family will reach double digits.
For the Li family, the tenth foundation-building monk came a little late. After all, it was already a family of alchemy cultivators, and Li Qiuxin was the first foundation-building monk born in the Li family after more than thirty years. For an ordinary alchemy cultivating family, it would take no more than twenty-five years for a foundation-building cultivator to be born in the family.
You must know that when it was still a foundation-building cultivating family, the Li family had many foundation-building cultivators very quickly in those years.
At that time, the Li family was rapidly rising.
In the eyes of the outside world, the rapidly rising Li family has returned to normal. There are two such immortal cultivating families in the history of Zhao State. It developed rapidly when it was still a foundation-building and immortal-cultivating family, and then became normal after becoming a pill-forming and immortal-cultivating family.
The reason for this is also related to the development standards of the Alchemy Formation Immortal Cultivation Family and the Foundation Establishment Immortality Cultivation Family. The previous Li family gave birth to three Foundation Establishment cultivators within ten years. Although this is rare among the Alchemy Formation Immortality Cultivation Family, it is considered normal if rounded up. Phenomenon.
In the cave of the Changqing Mountain clan leader, at this moment, in addition to Li Qianqing, there is also his fourth uncle Li Lilong in the cave.
"Fourth Uncle, I see you are very happy. Is there any good news?" Li Qianqing looked at Li Lilong who was smiling and asked.
"There is good news." Li Lilong nodded, not wanting to sway Li Qianqing. He placed a storage bag on the stone table, and then continued to speak, "The materials you need to refine your natal magic weapon. , all have been collected.”
In Li Lilong’s view, this is good news for Li Qianqing and good news for the Li family.
The more powerful the family patriarch is, the more secure the family is.
And currently Li Qianqing is still the only monk in the Li family who is in the alchemy stage.
"Good news." Li Qianqing also smiled, and then he opened the storage bag on the stone table.
After the materials in the storage bag were returned to him, he also followed the process of exchanging contribution points. Now he is still the monk with the most contribution points in the family. According to his possible future contribution, these contribution points are basically It won’t be used up, there will be more and more.
“I won’t disturb you in refining your natal magic weapon.”
This time Li Lilong came and left quickly. After handing the materials to Li Qianqing, he didn't talk much.
In his opinion, Li Qianqing's top priority now is to quickly refine his natal magic weapon to further enhance his strength.
After Li Lilong left, just as he said, Li Qianqing began to refine the natal magic weapon, the Flame Dragon Ball.
For him now, even if he refines the magic weapon, it will actually have almost no improvement in his combat effectiveness. But it will be different in the future. As his realm continues to improve, the magic weapon of his life will continue to be sacrificed. If you practice, the power of your natal magic weapon will become stronger and stronger.
There is a rough standard for the level of refining the natal magic weapon. As long as you can refine a high-grade magic weapon, you can basically refine the natal magic weapon well.
For a monk in the alchemy stage, even if he does not have the talent for refining weapons, he can refine a high-grade magic weapon by spending more than half a year studying. As for refining a low-grade spiritual weapon, even if he does not have the talent, it will take more than ten years. It is also difficult to refine in Nian, unless one's own realm breaks through a big realm again and enters the Nascent Soul stage.
Li Qianqing’s current situation is that if he is to refine a low-grade spiritual weapon now, he is 80% sure that it will be successful, but for a medium-grade spiritual weapon, he is not even 50% sure.
This level of refining a natal magic weapon is more than enough, and there is basically no possibility of failure.
After Li Qianqing adjusted his condition, he took out all the materials for refining the natal magic weapon. These materials had to be slowly melted with elixir fire.
This process is relatively simple, but requires a lot of patience.
The material that has been melted by the elixir fire must be stamped with his mark. If you forget to print it during the process, the material will not be scrapped and cannot be used, but it cannot be used to refine the natal magic weapon.
Compared with the refining of ordinary magic weapons, the refining time of natal magic weapons usually takes a long time.
Li Qianqing’s retreat lasted for more than half a year.
During the more than half a year of seclusion, Li Qianqing has been refining the natal magic weapon Flame Dragon Pearl. During the pill formation period, the spiritual power of monks recovers very quickly. Normally, as long as they are in a place with sufficient spiritual energy, even if they do not need to perform any exercises, 10% of the spiritual power will be automatically restored in one day. The stronger the spiritual energy, the faster the recovery speed.
This is the result of the automatic operation of the golden elixir in the body.
For monks at the foundation-building level, even if they are at the peak of foundation-building, when refining elixirs or refining weapons, it is good if they can continue to refine them for more than half a month. One month is very difficult for them, while monks at the elixir-formation stage can do it for more than half a year. They are all refining weapons, and there is no problem at all. Even if it takes another one or two years, it will be the same. However, if it takes five consecutive years to refining, the monks in the pill formation stage will not be able to bear it mentally. After becoming a Nascent Soul monk, theoretically, it will take a hundred years. It’s no problem if they are all being refined.
"Completed!"
In the cave, in front of Li Qianqing floated a dark red bead that exuded a fiery aura. Under the influence of the bead, the temperature of the entire cave continued to rise.
This is the Flame Dragon Ball.
Li Qianqing opened his mouth and directly sucked the Yanlong Pearl into his belly.
At this moment, in his body, the Flame Dragon Pearl was rotating around the golden elixir. Without running the technique, his ability to absorb external spiritual energy and convert it into spiritual power was 30% higher than before.
This is one of the auxiliary abilities of the natal magic weapon Flame Dragon Ball.
