Chapter 39 Fighting the Landlord, Alchemy and Body Forging
"Little Shitou, I'm back!" At the foot of the hillside, a girl in white shouted.
Yang Zhen was busy in the spiritual field in front of the cave. When she heard the sound and raised her head, she saw this little fairy in white running towards him happily.
That's right, Bai Yi, Zhao Yue'er has officially become an inner disciple of Master Shui Hong, wearing white clothes.
At this time, it has been a month since they passed the selection competition and entered Yunxiao Academy.
Five days ago, the little girl went to Tianshui Peak, saying she was going to retreat to attack the fourth level of Qi training, but now she is back.
"Brother Stone." A soft body hugged him tightly.
Looking at the little girl with a slight drop of sweat on her forehead but a beaming face, Yang Zhen felt happy in her heart and asked softly: "Have you been promoted to the fourth floor?"
"Of course!" The little girl puffed up her chest, feeling proud.
"Have you cultivated your spiritual consciousness?"
"Well," the little girl rolled her eyes: "How many more days will it take? Brother, I'm almost bored to death on the mountain. Let's call Sister Caiyun and let's fight the landlord together!"
[Landlord Fighting] is a new "invention" made by Yang Zhen not long ago, which is just suitable for three people when they are bored in their free time. Once launched, it was immediately warmly welcomed by the two girls.
"Okay!" Yang Zhen naturally would not dampen Zhao Yue'er's interest and agreed immediately.
The three people set up a card game on the stone table in the courtyard of Yuezhen Pavilion - No. 51 Shuiwu Peak, which they had privately named Yuezhen Pavilion - and started playing.
Small gambling is fun, winning or losing is a silver coin.
After playing for a while, Yang Zhen realized something was wrong.
Zhao Yue'er performed bravely today, winning consecutive battles, and it seemed that he knew all the cards in the opponent's hand.
This is... Yang Zhen suddenly realized.
You actually hid it from me!
Since you cheated, you can’t blame me.
He immediately called Yiyi out, and with the little guy's guidance, the cards of the three of them were clear.
The balance of victory turns to Yang Zhen's side.
"Why are you playing cards randomly!" The little girl finally became anxious: "You can't even play a pair of cards in your hand, but you have to play three belts and one?"
"What if we get caught by 1010JJQQ!" Yang Zhen chuckled.
"You!" The little girl's face turned red: "You peeked at my cards."
"I didn't." Of course Yang Zhen would not admit it.
Caiyun, who had been confused until now, came to his senses: "Miss, how did you know that Xiao Langjun had a pair in his hand?"
"I guessed it!" The little girl was equally stubborn.
"Look at how sweaty you are," Yang Zhen said with a smile, "You just developed your spiritual sense, don't use it too hard."
"I want you to take care of it!" the little girl left angrily.
I originally wanted to win two more games and play tricks on these two guys, but it didn't work out.
The little stone is so hateful! Zhao Yuer stood on the slope in front of the cave, feeling sulky in her heart.
However, I was still angry and burst out laughing again.
"Does it look good?" Yang Zhen came up from behind and asked pointing down the hillside.
At the foot of the hillside, there is a large green spiritual field, covered with half-foot-high seedlings.
"Yes." The little girl stretched her body and became more graceful: "Little Shitou, how many pills can your Qi Restoration Pills make at one time?"
"Five." Yang Zhen said with a bitter smile.
……
In the past month, in addition to practicing step by step, Yang Zhen also began to learn alchemy.
Monks in the early stage of Qi training cannot yet use their spiritual consciousness and can only refine some of the simplest elixirs.
What Yang Zhen has been practicing repeatedly during this period is the Qi Restoration Pill.
In the entire prescription of the Qi-Returning Pill, there are only two spiritual herbs: Qi-Gathering Grass and Huangyahua. The other auxiliary medicines are all ordinary medicinal materials, so the cost of refining one furnace is not high.
Including the Xuanyang wood used as a fire, the total cost is about two spirit stones.
The refining time is about an hour.
The normal number of Qi Rejuvenation Pills produced in one furnace is twelve, which is calculated based on one hundred thirty spirit stones.
It is equivalent to spending about ten hours and paying the cost of sixteen or seventeen spirit stones, and the final income earned is probably five or six spirit stones.
Therefore, refining a very common low-level elixir such as the Qi Restoration Pill can only earn a few spirit stones, and it is still very hard.
However, precisely because it is cheap, it is often used by newbies to practice alchemy.
Yang Zhen bought a total of fifty materials, and also purchased seedlings of these two kinds of spiritual grass to plant in the space.
He refines it twice a day, which takes less than three hours in total.
The Alchemy Furnace was the Fierce Light Furnace lent to him by Zhao Yue'er. It was the one that Zhao Xi had given to his father, and it was a top-grade first-class one.
The first few days failed, but Yang Zhen was not in a hurry. After each experiment, she carefully recalled the entire process to find out the reasons for the failure.
The furnace fire is too strong, the heating is uneven, the refining time is too long, etc. Basically, he has made all the mistakes that a novice should make.
After seven days of this, he finally succeeded in refining a Qi Restoration Pill, which could only be considered a second-grade pill.
After a few days, the number increased to two or three, and the quality occasionally appeared first-rate.
In the past two days, the number has reached five, of which at least four are first-class.
Zhao Yue'er occasionally tries it, and the best record is two pills.
"Now that I have spiritual consciousness, I am more sensitive to fire and spiritual energy. If I try again next time, I will definitely surpass your score." The little girl said confidently.
……
In addition to alchemy, Yang Zhen also picked up his [Five Elements Body Training Technique] again.
This is a strange book. Just based on the mortal part of it, Grandma made a recipe for regenerating spiritual roots, which shows the uniqueness of this technique.
In a series of competitions between Junguan Academy and sect selection, Yang Zhen also found that his physical body was far stronger than others, which was the key to his success.
The concentration of spiritual energy contained in his body is at least as high as that of a monk at the fifth level of Qi training. The little girl who also uses family exercises to fortify her body is only at the level of the third level of Qi training.
When Yang Zhen continued to read and entered the monk chapter, this exercise gave him an even bigger surprise.
As long as he persists, in just the foundation building stage, his physical body will be close to the level of the early stage of the golden elixir!
According to the introduction of this exercise book, body training, like cultivation, also has several realms.
The realm of transcendence, spiritual body, fairy body, and holy body.
It's a pity that this technique only has the key to practicing in the mortal realm and some spiritual realms.
There will be no more after that.
From the vague description at the end, it seems that this technique came from a large force and was taken away during the chaos.
But these are still too far away from Yang Zhen, let’s go through the level of transcendence first.
Escaping from the mortal realm is the process in which a cultivator leaves the mortal body and cultivates into a spiritual body.
It is divided into three stages: marrow cleansing, hundred refinements and nine turns.
Among them, the marrow washing section requires monks to use spiritual energy to cleanse themselves from tendons to bone marrow.
Reiki is the essence of all things in the world. It is endless and contains powerful power.
Using it to temper the body can not only remove various impurities and harmful substances from the body, but also make the body tough, full of strength and full of vitality.
Yang Zhen is currently at the entry level of the marrow washing section.
If you reach Xiaocheng, your physical strength will be comparable to that of monks in the later stages of Qi training.
