Chapter 399 Qingyangzi (Part 1)
Looking at Xiaobai swallowing the soul world pearl, Li Mu frowned and was about to explain something, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Xiao Bai, who was originally quiet, suddenly trembled, and his body emitted a burst of strong black spiritual light. A powerful and majestic aura was transmitted from it. It was strikingly similar to the aura of a strong body in the Fusion Realm that Li Mu had sensed before. .
“Jiji!”
Xiaobai shouted angrily, and in an instant, a powerful magical soul force was generated in his body, suppressing it.
However, the remnant soul of the strong man in the Fusion Realm seemed to have sensed the fatal danger, and then exploded with powerful force, trying to break free from Xiaobai's swallowing, and manipulated the Soul World Pearl to escape from the 'worm's mouth'.
There is no reason to let a duck fly away when it reaches its mouth!
“叽!”
Xiaobai was furious, and suddenly a deafening roar erupted from his whole body. His powerful soul power instantly shot straight into the sky. In this light, a huge The golden shadow slowly emerged, a huge golden cup insect shadow, majestic and sacred, as if it were a god from ancient times.
With the appearance of the golden Gu worm, the surrounding space trembled. The soul power it exuded was several times more powerful than the previous black aura. Obviously, Xiaobai used its most powerful power, To deal with the counterattack of the remnant souls of the strong ones in the Fusion Realm.
"Fellow Taoist, please let it stop, I..." At this time, Li Mu received a weak divine thought, which was the remnant soul of a strong man in the Fusion Realm.
Li Mu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the remnant soul of this strong man in the Fusion Realm could send out spiritual thoughts to him.
"Xiao Bai, wait a moment."
At this time, Xiao Bai was about to exert his strength and swallow the Soul World Pearl completely. Li Mu quickly stopped it and made it stop attacking. The Devouring of the Soul World Pearl.
Although Xiaobai was a little unwilling, he still stopped obediently, looked at Li Mu with doubtful eyes, and spit out the Soul World Pearl.
Li Mu looked at the Soul World Bead that appeared in front of him, devoted himself to spiritual thoughts, and asked knowingly: "Who are you? Why do you want to stop Xiaobai from swallowing the Soul World Bead?"
The remnant soul of the strong man in the Fusion Realm smiled bitterly. , a hint of helplessness was revealed in his spiritual thought: "My name is Qingyangzi. This Soul Realm Pearl is my natal magic weapon. It contains my lifelong cultivation and essence. After my death, a trace of my residual soul is hidden in it. "My friend, this Gu insect is extremely magical. If it gets into its mouth, I am afraid that it will be completely destroyed soon."
After hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly in his heart, and naturally understood his situation, just because he didn't know. How to deal with the remnant soul of this strong man in the fusion realm, he gave the Soul Realm Pearl to Xiaobai. Now, the remnant soul of this strong man in the fusion realm can communicate, so things become easier next.
Li Mu smiled slightly, comforted Xiao Bai, looked at the soul world bead, and continued to transmit his spiritual thoughts: "Senior Qingyang, junior Li Mu, since you don't want to lose your soul, I will naturally not kill you. However, I don’t know if the senior is willing to live in peace with me?”
After hearing this, Qingyangzi’s remnant soul was silent for a moment, knowing his current situation. If he didn’t agree to Li Mu, he might really fall into ruin, so he hurriedly Shen Nian sent a message: "I am now a fragment of my soul, so I am not qualified to bargain. As long as my soul can be preserved, I am naturally willing to live in peace with you."
When Li Mu heard Qingyangzi's response, he breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded slightly and said through his spiritual mind: "In this case, I will not be a bad person. Senior, please rest assured. If there is a chance, I will help senior repair it." Soul World Pearl, recast the remnant soul."
Qingyangzi's remnant soul felt relieved and responded quickly: "Thank you, little friend. I know that the Soul World Pearl is good for you. This Gu insect has great attraction, but the remnant soul of this old man still exists in it. If it is swallowed up, it may completely dissipate between heaven and earth."
After hearing this, Li Mu felt moved in his heart and asked: " Now that my predecessor has died, why can he still keep his soul alive and still hide it in the Soul Realm Pearl?”
Qingyangzi sighed and said: “Back then, I fought a fierce enemy, but I finally defeated him? He was killed, but he was also seriously injured and his energy was exhausted. When he died, I hid a trace of my soul in the soul world pearl, hoping to find a chance to reforge my soul and regain my life. However, As time goes by, the soul power in the Soul Realm Pearl gradually dissipates, and my remaining soul becomes weaker and weaker. If I hadn’t met you and been awakened by your spiritual thoughts, I would have completely perished before long.”
After hearing this, Li Mu felt enlightened. He did not expect that this strong man in the Fusion Realm would have such a tortuous experience. He thought for a while and said: "Senior, I feel deeply sorry for your plight. Xiaobai is my partner, and it swallows the Soul World Pearl out of instinct. I wonder what your plans are, senior? Perhaps I can help you. ”
Hearing this, Qingyangzi immediately felt a glimmer of hope, and quickly moved his spiritual thoughts, saying: "My friend, as long as you can keep my remaining soul alive, I will be grateful. If you are willing to help me rebuild my soul, I will I am willing to teach you everything I know and what I have learned throughout my life. As for the method of rebuilding the soul, it is not difficult."
After hearing this, Li Mu felt something in his heart, and what Qingyangzi said " "The method of reshaping the soul" is a secret that has not been passed down. It is undoubtedly extremely precious to practitioners. It is also a life-saving secret method if someone unexpectedly dies in the future.
"Senior, if you can trust this junior, I will do my best to help senior rebuild his soul." Li Mu quickly conveyed his spiritual thoughts and continued.
Qingyangzi had no other choice and did not dare to hide it, so he talked about several methods to rebuild the soul.
It turns out that there are three ways to reshape the soul. The first is to find an extremely rare spiritual thing in the world - the anti-death spirit grass. This kind of spirit grass grows in an extremely dangerous environment and can absorb The energy of yin and yang condenses the powerful power of the soul. Only by finding this kind of spiritual grass and combining it with the secret method known to Qingyangzi can the soul be reshaped.
The second type is a large amount of chaotic energy. Chaos energy is the foundation of all things. It is the original energy that existed before the world was opened and contains endless mysteries and power. If enough chaotic energy can be collected and guided using special methods, it is possible for the remnant soul to be reshaped and given a new life.
However, the energy of chaos is extremely rare and difficult to capture. Even for those who are strong in the Fusion Realm, it is not easy to collect enough energy of chaos. What's more, the energy of chaos also contains unpredictable dangers, and even the slightest carelessness can lead to death.
As for the third method, it is to find a practitioner with advanced cultivation and use his powerful soul power to forcibly absorb the energy of yin and yang, repair the damage of the remaining soul, and integrate it with the new carrier , thereby completing the reshaping, but this method is extremely risky. If you are not careful, your soul will fly away, and even if it succeeds, the reshaped soul will be greatly damaged. It will be difficult to improve your cultivation. Moreover, using this method Those who are strong in magic must understand the yin and yang laws of heaven and have some of the abilities of the Tao Lord.
After Qingyangzi finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. There was a bit of helplessness and sadness in his spiritual thoughts. Each of these three methods is extremely difficult. It is almost impossible to successfully rebuild the soul. However, he still chose to tell Li Mu, hoping to gain a chance for himself.
After listening to Qingyangzi’s story, Li Mu felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Qingyangzi's plan to reshape his soul coincided with what he was going to do next. Li Mu's main purpose for this trip was to go to the far north ice source, break the restrictions in the secret realm, and find the anti-dead spirit. Grass, complete the Dao Heart Oath of Lord Tianyan. If you can harvest one more plant here, you can keep it for him. If there is only one plant, you can't tell him about it.
After thinking for a while, Li Mu said: "Senior, these three methods are not easy, but I am willing to try my best. With the anti-death grass and the energy of chaos, I will think Find a way. As for the third method, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
After Qingyangzi heard this, he immediately responded with gratitude: "My dear friend, I am willing to help you practice. , If you have any questions about your cultivation, just ask me.”
The cultivation experience of a strong person in the Fusion Realm is extremely precious. Li Mu’s cultivation almost all relies on planting spiritual plants and absorbing the attributes of the spiritual plants. When you get promoted, you don’t have much real practice time, so don’t accumulate too many problems.
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help but feel happy and asked quickly: "Senior, did you refine this Soul World Pearl yourself?"
"No, I am an alchemy master, not a weapon refiner. The Soul World Pearl is I entrusted it to a friend to refine it," Qingyangzi responded quickly.
Li Mu was a little disappointed when he heard that Qingyangzi was an alchemist. However, he knew how to make alchemy, so he could benefit a lot from him.
Li Mu quickly conveyed his spiritual thoughts and respectfully asked Qingyangzi for advice: "Senior, although I have dabbled in alchemy, I know that my knowledge is still shallow. I wonder if I can give you some advice, so that I can help you Is this junior taking a step forward in alchemy? "
"Oh! How many levels of elixir can I refine? If you have any questions, feel free to tell me!"
Qingyangzi was slightly startled. Alchemy was very difficult, and it would be difficult for people without the talent of alchemy to deal with it. Unexpectedly, he encountered it, so he had to be patient and pass on the message.
"Well, the success rate of refining the fifth-level elixir is quite high, about 90%. As for the sixth-level elixir, the success rate is about 30%." Li Mu responded quickly.
"What! Can you refine the sixth-level elixir?"
When Qingyangzi heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his mind fluctuated, revealing an unconcealable shock. , as an alchemy holy master, no one knows the difficulty of alchemy better than him. Even if he is able to refine seventh-level Tao elixirs, the success rate of refining sixth-level spiritual elixirs is only about 50%. However, this alchemist It was really unbelievable to him that the divine monk could have a 30% success rate.
"It is true. I have refined the sixth-order Taixuanqing Divine Pill, the sixth-order Burning Heaven Pill, the sixth-order Linghua Pill,..." Li Mu responded quickly, telling about his refinement. The sixth level elixir that passed.
Hearing this, Qingyangzi couldn't help but believe it, and quickly sent a message to ask: "Since you can refine these elixirs, your alchemy skills must be as pure as fire. We can have a discussion. What problems have you encountered?"
< br>At this time, Qingyangzi was in a very excited mood. As a holy master of alchemy, he had been immersed in the art of alchemy all his life and had an almost obsessive love for alchemy. He had been a remnant soul for many years and was unable to refine elixirs. Now listen to this. When he saw that Li Mu was able to refine a variety of sixth-level elixirs, and the success rate was quite impressive, he couldn't help but feel a strong desire to communicate.
"Well, when I was refining the Taixuanqing Divine Pill, during the process of gathering the pill, it was difficult to form the pill patterns. Either it was too fast or the opportunity was missed..." Li Mu quickly sent a message to ask about the pill refining process. problems arise.
"Is it difficult to condense the elixir pattern? This is generally related to the purity of the elixir, the temperature of the furnace, and the combination of medicinal properties. This problem is that the timing of condensation pattern is the basis for the success or failure of elixir refining. If not, you can perform an elixir refining demonstration now. !" Qingyangzi responded.
"Senior is inside the soul world bead, can he 'see' the outside world?" Li Mu asked in surprise.
Qingyangzi smiled softly and replied with his spiritual thoughts: "Little friend, you don't know something. This soul world pearl was made by me after spending a lot of effort and entrusting my friends to refine it during my lifetime. It is a world of its own, although it is separated from the outside world. Isolated, but my remnant soul has long been integrated with this soul world bead and can sense the outside world. You only need to follow the normal steps of alchemy, and I can observe the entire process of your alchemy.”
When Li Mu heard this, he felt relieved immediately. Being able to meet a master of alchemy like Qingyangzi was really a great blessing on his path of cultivation. So, he no longer hesitated, summoned an alchemy furnace in the cabin, and took out the elixir needed for alchemy.
After a while, everything is ready.
Li Mu sat cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and began to activate the alchemy furnace. He followed the usual steps of alchemy, step by step, from selecting materials, refining, smelting to the final condensation of the elixir, doing every step Gotta be methodical.
Qingyangzi clearly perceived the entire process of Li Mu's alchemy in the soul world bead. He couldn't help but secretly nod in his heart. He gave a very high evaluation to Li Mu's alchemy skills and talent.
At the same time, Qingyangzi also discovered some problems and shortcomings in Li Mu's alchemy process, and couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.
Li Mu is quite skilled in alchemy. However, he is quite unfamiliar with some of the basic techniques of alchemy. Some key steps are slightly rough, as if he is just copying the gourd and failing to understand it in depth. The rationale behind it.
Qingyangzi frowned slightly, and while his spiritual thoughts fluctuated, he conveyed: "Little friend, although you are proficient in alchemy, your basic techniques are a bit rusty, which will affect the rate of your alchemy. Along with the quality of alchemy, in addition to practice making perfect, it is more important to grasp and understand the temperature and properties of the medicine in order to better control the art of alchemy."
Hearing this, Li Mu felt a chill in his heart and quickly conveyed his thoughts. He responded: "What the seniors said is absolutely true. The juniors do feel a little powerless in the process of refining alchemy, especially in some key steps, and it is always difficult to achieve the desired results. I also ask the seniors to give me some advice and give guidance to the juniors."
Qingyangzi nodded and continued to pass on: "To make alchemy, you need to be as careful as your hair, and you have to control the heat and properties of the medicine just right. For example, when you are refining medicinal materials, you should adjust the heat according to the characteristics of different medicinal materials. and the length of time to fully extract the essence of the medicinal materials. During the smelting process, you need to pay attention to the interaction between the medicinal materials to avoid conflict or loss of medicinal properties."
"For example, the order of the elixir tempering you are going to carry out next is wrong. The order of Tui Shen Cao, Zhu Chi Fruit, and Kui Yin Ling Cao is wrong." Qingyangzi continued to pass on: "Zi Shen Shen Cao has the effect of calming the mind and should be It is added at the early stage of smelting to adjust the temperature of the fire based on its medicinal properties. Zhuchi fruit has a fiery nature and should be added in the middle to stimulate the potential medicinal properties of other medicinal materials. Kuiyin Lingcao, which has a cold nature, needs to be added in the final stage. Slowly blend in to balance the fire and dryness of the elixir. Only in this order can the medicinal properties be perfectly blended and a high-quality elixir be refined."
After hearing this, Li Mu felt enlightened and suddenly became enlightened. Immediately follow Qingyangzi's instructions and start operating.
