The old woman came back to her senses, stared at Ning Cheng, shook her head and said, "I do have the basic jade slips for alchemy, but I won't give it to you. I'm not reluctant, this is for your own good. Although you dress maturely,
You must not be more than twenty years old, right? You can cultivate to the eighth level of Qi gathering under the age of twenty. Although you are not a genius, it is not easy in a place like Pingzhou.
With your progress, if you can leave Pingzhou in the future, coupled with your own efforts and some opportunities, you may not be able to achieve Xuandan. If you have other thoughts and study the way of elixir, I am afraid that you will only be able to achieve condensation in this life.
.Alchemy can’t be learned just by wanting to learn it. You are right to listen to my words.”
Ning Cheng thought of his Xuanhuang Pearl and said with some reluctance, "Senior, I am confident that I will not delay my cultivation."
The old woman smiled calmly and said, "Any monk who wants to refine alchemy has this certainty. In the final analysis, the alchemy path and the weapon path are small paths, and they also serve the purpose of cultivation. If it is not to advance to a higher level, no one is willing to refine alchemy. But all
Many people have been blinded by this path. Since it is all about cultivation in the final analysis, why not put all your energy on cultivation? What if one day, you look at all the mountains and small mountains, and there are still alchemists who dare not make elixirs for you? Why not?
Are there any weapon refiners who dare not help you refine weapons?"
When Ning Cheng heard this, his heart suddenly became hot. This was the first time he heard someone say that the Alchemy Road is a small road, and the Qi Road is also a small road. But he felt that the old woman was right. If one day, he could see all the mountains and small roads, he would still
Which alchemist would not dare to make an elixir for him?
However, without the elixir, how could he see all the mountains and small mountains? The fiery mood that had just aroused cooled down again.
The old woman seemed to know what Ning Cheng was thinking, and said again unhurriedly, "The truly powerful elixirs in this World Mountain are not refined by humans, but grown by nature. If one day, you can find these innate elixirs."
A long-lasting spiritual object is countless times more powerful than any elixir. If you only rely on artificially refined elixirs to practice, you will not be able to eliminate the erysipelas, and you will always be a second-rate person. The elixirs are an auxiliary means for cultivation, not the purpose.
"
"Senior, what you mean is that as long as you are a cultivator, there is no need to refine elixirs?" Ning Cheng asked doubtfully.
The old woman shook her head again and said, "No, it's just that you are not suitable for alchemy. You are just a casual cultivator. Even if your qualifications are incredible, so what? The prerequisite for alchemy is to have a large amount of spiritual grass for you to practice, and secondly, you must have elixirs.
Fire and excellent opportunities. You have neither. If you just go to refine elixirs to advance to Ningzhen, you are going in the wrong direction. If you want to refine elixirs, you can wait until you feel that your cultivation level can no longer be improved.
Come to me. However, I believe that at that time, you are no longer in the mood to make elixirs."
Ning Cheng sighed, he knew that the old woman was right. He only relied on the Xuanhuang Pearl, and the Xuanhuang Pearl could not produce countless spiritual grasses out of thin air. It seemed that even if he wanted to make elixirs, he would not be able to pass this old woman.
"You come back in ten days to get the Seven-Yao Ice Needle, and I will definitely refine it for you." Seeing Ning Cheng bowing his head in deep thought, the old woman didn't care what Ning Cheng thought, and directly issued an expulsion order.
"Yes, junior, take your leave." After Ning Cheng walked out of the old woman's bungalow, he had already put aside the matter of alchemy.
In any case, even if he is learning alchemy now, he will not be able to refine the Qi Gathering Pill in time. If he wants to advance to Ningzhen, he must find a way. There are so many Ningzhen monks, and not everyone is an alchemist.
.
…
Ning Cheng did not go to Mingpu Square to test his spiritual roots. He wanted to wait until he got the Qiyao Ice Needle. Moreover, after passing the old woman, Ning Cheng no longer had the slightest confidence in his ability to conceal himself.
He simply stayed in the resting place and practiced his concealment skills.
Ten days passed by in a flash. In these ten days, Ning Cheng not only revised the concealment technique he received from the old woman, but also completely learned a new concealment spell.
On the tenth day, Ning Cheng couldn't wait to rush outside the bungalow in the small alley. Only to find that the door of the bungalow was locked. Ning Cheng was shocked. Could it be that this old woman who looked like her predecessors could deceive him with some information?
This is absolutely impossible?
"Excuse me, are you here to get something from Aunt Gongsun?" A hesitant voice sounded from the door opposite the bungalow. Ning Cheng turned around and saw a very ugly young man with turned-up lips and narrow eyes.
"Yes, I am looking for Aunt Gongsun. Where did Aunt Gongsun go?" Ning Cheng replied quickly. At the same time, he felt that the name of Aunt Gongsun was really familiar. He had heard of it when he was on Earth, but
He also knew that this would definitely not be the same person.
When the extremely ugly boy heard Ning Cheng's words, he immediately grinned. He then entered the house and took out a small wooden box, handed it to Ning Cheng and said, "Aunt Gongsun gave this to me before she left. She said, do you want it?"
Everything is here, I hope you will do what you can."
Ning Cheng took the jade box and thanked him, but he didn't understand. He just asked Aunt Gongsun to make a Seven-Yao Ice Needle. How could this thing be within its capabilities?
Although he was eager to know what his Qiyao Ice Needle looked like, Ning Cheng still suppressed his excitement and rushed back to his residence with the wooden box.
After returning to his residence, Ning Cheng first set up a shielding formation, and then carefully opened the wooden box.
There was also a small crystal box inside the wooden box, and there was a group of things next to the crystal box. Ning Cheng didn't pay attention to the group of things next to it, and directly took the crystal box in his hand and opened it.
A thin needle that is almost invisible to the naked eye lies in the crystal box, and is looming, as if it will disappear at any time.
"Good needle." Ning Cheng exclaimed in amazement. He immediately understood that this was definitely a Seven-Yao Ice Needle magic weapon that exceeded his expectations.
Ning Cheng held the fine needle in his hand, and a feeling of wanting to refine it came to his heart. Ning Cheng did not hesitate, immediately closed his eyes and began to refine the fine needle in his hand.
One day later, Ning Cheng opened his eyes again in surprise. The thin needle in his hand had disappeared. The needle had been attached to the inside of his sleeve, completely connected with his thoughts.
At this moment, Ning Cheng absolutely did not believe that the old woman was not a weapon refiner. The level of this thin needle was higher than his flying sword. It was simply a top-quality magical weapon.
Can a person who can refine the best magic weapons not be a weapon refiner?
Ning Cheng was so happy that he actually forgot that there was another lump of something in the wooden box, and kept practicing the Qi Yao Ice Needle spell with the thin needle in his hand.
It wasn't until he was very hungry that he realized that another day had passed like this. Ning Cheng was even more pleasantly surprised that he had this thin needle. Once he faced the enemy, he used the Thirty-Six Xuan Bing Swords and the Seven Light Ice
Needle echoed, even a Ningzhen cultivator would probably have a hard time escaping from his sneak attack.
Today, he finally has some ability to protect himself. Ning Cheng became more and more grateful to the old woman. Even Ge Fei, Ning Cheng felt that he had more than ten Qi Gathering Stones. Even if he was given two Spirit Stones, then
All missing.
When Ning Cheng put away the Qiyao Ice Needle and was about to go out to eat something, he remembered that there was another item in the wooden box. He quickly picked up the item, shook it, and found that it was an extremely thin item*
*.
Ning Cheng recognized it immediately. It was defensive armor made from the skin of a horned dragon. At the same time, he also understood what was going on. It must be that the old woman felt that there was a lot of dragon skin, so she simply helped him refine it.
Inner armor.
Ning Cheng took off his coat, put on the refined inner armor, and felt extremely comfortable all over his body. He was even more grateful to the old woman in his heart.
Ning Cheng did not throw away the empty wooden box. In his opinion, it was like he owed the old woman a favor. Originally, he could have given it to him without giving the inner armor, but he gave it to him. At the same time, Ning Cheng also felt that the old woman said that he
It is not unreasonable that we should not learn alchemy now.
…
Mingpu Square is located on the outskirts of Mingxin Academy, and is a place shared by Mingxin Academy and Mingyi Zhenguo. Not only does it have a huge square, it is also the most famous spiritual root testing place in the entire Mingyi Zhenguo. If it is normal, come
It costs a lot of gold coins to test the spiritual roots in Mingpu Square, but it doesn't cost a single gold coin in these months. Everyone can test for free, because these months are when Mingxin Academy recruits students.
The number of people in Mingpu Square has been increasing in the past few days, and today it is even more crowded. Almost all the monks and many people from Nanyuan City have come here. Because today is the day when Mingxin Academy recruits disciples, as long as the spiritual root is
If you meet the requirements and pass the test, you can enter Mingxin Academy.
Ning Cheng followed many people into the Spiritual Root Testing Hall of Mingpu Square. Today he had taken off the monk hat that covered his face. However, with his deliberate dressing up, he looked older, and even his beard looked a bit worn.
.
Because today is the day when Mingxin Academy selects students, there are not many people in the spiritual root testing hall. Most people have already tested their spiritual roots.
Ning Cheng had already seen the spiritual root testing instrument before. He walked directly to the testing instrument and said to the person in charge of the test, "I want to test the spiritual root."
"Put your hands on the grooves and draw some Qi." The person responsible for testing the spiritual roots said feebly.
Ning Cheng didn't say much, and directly put his hand into the test groove, and at the same time channeled some Qi into it. Four yellow thin lines rose up on the crystal pillar. The four thin lines rose very slowly, but did not stop. Ning Cheng
When the four thin lines rose to three or four feet, Cheng had already taken them away.
The person who was testing the spiritual roots didn't pay attention to Ning Cheng's small actions at all. He lazily threw out a wooden sign and said, "The four-system miscellaneous spiritual roots are qualified to enter."
"Thank you very much. What are my four spiritual roots?" Ning Cheng's heart was pounding a little. He quickly grabbed the jade token and thanked him and asked. Only he knew clearly in his heart that he was clearly a mixed spirit of the three lines.
After more than half a year, it turned into a mixed spiritual root of four lines.
The person who was testing the spiritual roots glanced at Ning Cheng with disdain, "If you are qualified to be selected, you don't need to ask these questions. I am only responsible for testing whether you are qualified to enter. You can just barely enter the academy gate."
The implication is that your spiritual root is so rubbish, how dare you ask what kind of spiritual root it is?
