What he wants to verify is whether the previous skills and formulas are useful again...
Half a day later, Lu Chen flew back to the restaurant unwillingly.
The techniques he tried before were all from the mainland, but he couldn't use them. Although his body and system had become of this world, he still had that feeling. This feeling lasted when he lived in Liuque Mansion.
I already felt it during this period.
Now he has come to a conclusion: this world cannot tolerate it.
After Lu Chen sighed, it seemed that he could only practice the techniques of this world and slowly climbed up.
He sat cross-legged and practiced in his mind according to the technique practiced by the former director. The technique called "Sword Art" was just a low-grade secret book and could only be practiced to the peak of the magic weapon.
Slowly, he felt a thin stream of demonic energy from heaven and earth gathering outside his body and slowly escaping into his body. After a cycle, the demonic energy had passed through according to the specific route of "Sword Art".
He opened his eyes and finished the meditation. In this short period of time, he had gained so much. He thought that the original owner of this body was a fool, and it took him so many years to reach such a state of cultivation.
In his opinion, if he meditates like this tens of thousands of times, he should be able to break through to the seventh level of the magic weapon.
It can be done hundreds of times in one day, and it will take less than half a year to achieve a breakthrough.
Lu Chen thought so and fell into samadhi again. This time he practiced directly according to that feeling.
Spring passes and autumn comes, and the twelfth lunar month of winter comes, and a year has passed before I know it.
At this time, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. During this period, no one disturbed Lu Chen because he had already paid the rent to the two women at one time when he lived there.
"It's been a hundred weeks. Not bad. My cultivation level has increased a little." Lu Chen stopped meditating and opened the door.
Now he wants to go out for a walk to see if he can get some magic crystals. After all, the magic crystals he has on hand cannot be bought by buying a medium-grade magic weapon with poor quality. Now he wants to change it.
Use a handy weapon.
Lu Chen passed by a weapons shop and asked about the price of these weapons. After asking, the prices of the weapons had increased. Although there were only a few magic crystals, his magic crystals were not blown by the strong wind.
After careful questioning, he realized that the previous price was from a year ago, which made him confused.
"What kind of speed in cultivation is this!" Lu Chen couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
If you practice at this speed, I'm afraid it won't take a hundred years.
The Demon Soldier only has a lifespan of a hundred years, and now he only has a lifespan of more than sixty years. Maybe he has not reached the seventh level even after a cup of loess.
Unless he uses a lot of resources to push it up, the only resources Lu Chen has on hand are a few magic crystals, but he can't use them. These are used to buy handy weapons. Only by arming himself can he make more money.
Maybe the only ones who can regularly use magic crystals to practice are the big guys.
There are no luxurious facilities in the city lord's palace, just some ordinary courtyards and pavilions.
There were two old men sitting in the pavilion. One was Mr. Meng, who had met the Zhou woman before. The other old man had his eyes narrowed all the time and was wearing a white robe.
"Brother Zhong Dao, it's you who arrived this time. Meng thought the news that you were leaving seclusion was false..."
"What, Brother Meng, are you not welcome?"
"How could it be so? It's just that there was news that Brother Zhong Dao had escaped from confinement several times before, which made Meng think that this time was also a mystery." Mr. Meng laughed.
"Oh! No wonder Brother Meng is so surprised."
"By the way, it's been two years since Taoist brother's last retreat. Have you touched that membrane yet?" Elder Meng asked.
In fact, it's not surprising that he said so. A few years ago, he once went into seclusion for a period of time, but in the end he gave up because there was no progress and focused on taking care of Qingyu City.
The old man surnamed Zhong had known him for a long time, but after he announced his retreat, he did not come out again for more than forty years. At that time, Mr. Meng thought that he had fallen. After all, Shou Yuan was there. Now he took a closer look.
By calculation, the old man surnamed Zhong must be over 200 years old.
Every time a monk breaks through a great realm, his lifespan can be doubled.
It seemed that the other party had medicine to prolong life, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Difficult, I know what you are thinking, so there is no harm in telling you. My life span has indeed been extended." The old man surnamed Zhong seemed to have expected it and said expressionlessly.
Mr. Meng had an expression of shame on his face.
"When I was young, I mistakenly ate a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, but it only extended my life by about twenty years. This time I tried to pass through the barrier to prepare some blessings for future generations and pass them on." The old man surnamed Zhong said later.
The squinted eyes were closed.
After some words, the two of them suddenly fell silent. Mr. Meng felt the same way after hearing the words. In another forty or fifty years, he would be like the old man named Zhong.
"Is this competition still the same place?" Mr. Meng took the lead in interrupting the topic.
"Old place! It will be held in half a month." After the old man surnamed Zhong finished speaking, his voice and shadow disappeared instantly.
"He was our number one man back then!" Mr. Meng sighed.
On the second day, many strange faces walked into Qingyu City. Although Qingyu City usually has many strangers coming in and out, this time it was different.
A piece of news came out from Qingyu City last night that the Dan Pavilion gatekeeper will hold a disciple acceptance ceremony in one month.
Suddenly, the place near Qing Jade City exploded, and those families sent their young disciples to Qing Jade City one after another, just to climb this big tree.
"Isn't the Dangemen held only once every ten years? Why is it two years ahead of schedule this time?" said a young monk.
"I heard from my cousin that it was because the young disciples of the Dange Sect suffered a lot of casualties when they ventured into a secret realm, and there is an urgent need for fresh blood to replenish the foundation of the sect." Another monk who looked a bit naive said.
"Tch, who can believe it? You are a little trumpeter and your words are never reliable." Another monk chimed in next to him.
The innocent monk's face was red with anger: "Why did I lie to you? My cousin is a disciple of the inner sect. He told me this personally."
"It's my fault, I apologize." The monk said with a smile.
Lu Chen walked into an alchemy pavilion at this moment. As the name suggests, this place sells elixirs, elixir recipes and alchemy furnaces.
Lu Chen knew about it before the news spread outside Qingyu City. He inquired and found out that the content of this assessment should be the same as before.
It's all about refining elixirs. Whoever refines elixirs well can enter the gate.
For him, refining alchemy is as easy as drinking water, but the only thing he is not sure about is whether he can use his previous method to do it here.
There was still a month left, so he had to make some preparations in order to enter the Dan Pavilion Gate.
Alchemy furnaces are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and top-grade.
The price of a low-grade magic weapon was not high, but it still cost Lu Chen a hundred magic crystals, which was close to the price of a low-grade magic weapon. This made him feel heartbroken, but he couldn't bear to let his child trap the eagle.
He spent dozens of magic crystals to buy a common elixir and more than a hundred medicinal materials. At this time, he only had a dozen magic crystals left, which made him a little cash-strapped.
Back at the hotel, Lu Chen told them not to disturb him unless there was anything going on.
He took out the alchemy furnace, which looked very ordinary. He put the medicinal materials in according to the prescription, used magic power to activate the flame, and controlled the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace with his spiritual consciousness. The medicinal materials quickly melted and transformed inside.
They are wrapped in a pool of liquid.
Slowly a small pill formed, the color was bright and clear.
His consciousness exited, and he was no longer needed to operate it. The next step was to let the smoldering fire slowly burn inside to help it slowly form the finished elixir.
The elixir he made is called Black Yuan Dan, which is an elixir for treating skin injuries. It is easy to use. Moreover, his magic crystal can only buy this elixir and medicinal materials.
With a cup of tea, the fire in the furnace was slowly extinguished, and the elixir was ready. He opened the elixir furnace.
A shiny finished pill appeared in front of him.
He held it between his two fingers, smelled it but it had no taste, and ate it in one bite.
After a quarter of an hour, he didn't feel any effect inside, and Lu Chen frowned slightly.
So he refined the elixir again. The same technique, the same firepower, and the same finished elixir were still ineffective when he ate it again.
After repeating it more than ten times, Lu Chen stopped.
He knew that he would not be able to do it if he followed the previous methods.
Later, after he tried dozens of methods, he still ended up in failure.
He was convinced.
It seems that the world has isolated him. The way to solve this problem is to integrate into this world and learn their system and their energy.
Lu Chen had a wry smile on his face.
"It seems that this is the only way." Lu Chen seemed to have made a certain decision.
As his body shook, he fell down.
At this time, Lu Chen had been in a coma for a day and a night. When he woke up again, his mind was blank.
He put his hands on the ground to prevent himself from falling.
Lu Chen patted his head to cheer up and carefully thought through what happened before.
Yes, he had sealed up all the knowledge about other continents before, which exhausted all his consciousness, and now he is very weak.
"Fortunately, there are a few pills in the storage bag that can restore some consciousness." Lu Chen took out a few pills and put them into his mouth. He sat down cross-legged and slowly recovered, another day and night.
At this moment, he was full of energy, took out the elixir prescription with his hand, and started to study it again.
"I remember that there is a set of basic alchemy techniques recorded in the classics, which should be useful." Now that he no longer has the memory of those alchemy techniques, everything can only be started from scratch.
First open the alchemy furnace, put in some elixirs, then cover the furnace, then use your spiritual consciousness as a fire to start refining.
This set of techniques is a common alchemy technique across the continent, and is called the "Fireless Refining Method." To be precise, people in this continent do not use fire to refine elixirs, but instead use spiritual consciousness to refine elixirs.
