Chapter 93 The Attribution of the Fifth-Order Demon Pill
In this more than a month of war, Qingxuanzong lost four spiritual veins including Guiyuan Mountain, Yushan Mountain, Huayang Mountain, and Shuangjiao Mountain, and lost 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Lu Hongniang was severely injured by a monster and had to recuperate for at least thirty years.
Two Zifu monks, Wei Zongxun and Zhao Xinlian, were killed in battle.
As for the monks in the foundation-building stage below, they lost more than forty people, and the monks in the Qi-training stage suffered casualties of more than a thousand.
The rewards and pensions required by these monks are an astronomical amount of money.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife seized the opportunity and teamed up with Patriarch Jin to kill the fifth-level one-horned duck, thus reversing the situation and gaining a huge amount of monster materials.
Otherwise, it would take more than ten years to make up for this shortfall and restore Qingxuanzong's vitality.
The number of monster beasts hunted this time was so large that even if Qingxuan Sect had a special ice cellar, it could not store a large amount of monster flesh and blood.
The sect can only use a large amount of the flesh and blood of demonic beasts to refine the Essence Pill.
Anyway, this elixir recipe is simple. The main material is the flesh and blood of demonic beasts. With the addition of a little spiritual grass that strengthens the body and strengthens the essence, even a first- and second-level alchemist can get started.
Large-scale refining of elixirs is very beneficial to the training of alchemists.
After this large-scale alchemy, Qingxuan Sect actually had five more third-level alchemists. Zhang Huangyang, who was on the first floor of the Zifu, even refined the fourth-level low-grade Jingyuan Dan, raising his alchemy skills to the fourth-level low-grade.
This person is also considered to have a strong talent for alchemy. Zhang Zhixuan plans to send this person to Qingli Sea to garrison when his cultivation level is higher.
Because he is busy practicing, it is difficult for Zhang Zhixuan to have time to refine low-level elixirs, and with Luo Ziyan competing, this person does not have many opportunities to refine elixirs in the sect.
Qinglihai already has more than 50 foundation-building monks, and the elixir these people take every year is already a huge resource, enough to support an alchemist to be self-sufficient.
After the Southern Wilderness monsters withdrew, Zhu Wuya and Wang Chengxiang also returned to the three northern counties to guard the territory of the three northern counties.
Han Wangpeng lost Huayang Mountain and returned to his old place to garrison at Chaoyin Mountain.
The Lingshi mine in Chaoyin Mountain has been mined for 140 years, and according to Qingxuanzong's estimation, about half of it has been mined.
In the next one hundred and fifty years, the output of this spiritual stone mine will become less and less. On the contrary, it will be more difficult to capture the Hongshan Sect's Dongyang Mountain spiritual stone mining, which can still last for three hundred years.
Nineteen Southern Wilderness monsters were killed in this battle. Although Zhang Zhixuan killed six fourth-order monsters in Black Mountain, unfortunately, due to time constraints, he only captured four fourth-order monster pills.
With the addition of a mature Chalcedony Golden Zhizhi plant in the Zongmen Spiritual Medicine Garden, eighteen furnaces of Foundation Building Pills can be refined this time.
The Qingxuan Sect's elixir garden is already quite large. It can collect enough auxiliary elixirs for refining the foundation-building elixir, but the fourth-level elixir for refining the elixir still needs to be purchased from outside.
As a last resort, Luo Ziyan, Zhou Zijian, and Han Yan, the three Zifu monks, had no choice but to split up and go to Song, Qi, Da Zhou and other large sects to purchase separately.
After waiting for almost half a year, Zhang Zhixuan reluctantly opened the furnace.
Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills have exceeded the fifth level, and the success rate of refining the foundation-building pill is about 70%.
According to his pill-formation rate, the cost of refining a foundation-building pill is reduced to about four thousand spirit stones.
Refining more than a dozen furnaces of Foundation-Building Pills at one time took about two years of effort, even with Zhang Zhixuan's advanced cultivation and strong magical power.
During this time of elixir refining, Zhang Zhixuan's elixir success rate remained at over 70%, and he produced as many as 142 foundation-building elixirs, which was almost as much as Qingxuan Sect's hundreds of years of accumulation.
The last time the sect had a grand event was when two brothers captured the Hongshan Sect Spiritual Medicine Garden and grabbed a batch of chalcedony and gold zhi. At that time, Luo Ziyan also refined more than a dozen furnaces for foundation building.
Although the merit reward and pension consumed more than forty Foundation Building Pills, there were still about a hundred Foundation Building Pills that were put into the sect's treasury at once.
The Foundation Establishment Pill can be stored for about one Jiazi, and it could have been released slowly.
However, after Zhang Zhixuan discussed with Patriarch Jin, he felt that the number of foundation-building monks of Qingxuan Sect was insufficient, so he simply released them all at once, preparing to train a group of foundation-building monks to enrich his manpower.
For every furnace of foundation-building pills he refined, Zhang Zhixuan could earn 5,000 in good deeds. In just two years, he earned about 90,000 in good deeds by refining the pills.
However, this kind of opportunity is relatively rare. The opportunity to hunt high-level monsters is rare. If you are not careful, you can easily lose your life at the hands of monsters.
Especially now that both sides have heavily hoarded troops on the border and are hunting high-level monsters, it can easily lead to fierce conflicts.
The junior monks of the Zhang family also seized this opportunity. Although they did not have enough good deeds, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan were wealthy, and with the support of other elders in the foundation-building stage, six ninth-level monks of the Zhang family redeemed the foundation-building pills.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient accumulation, only four of the six people who took the foundation-building pill successfully built the foundation. Counting these four clan members who had just built the foundation, the Zhang family's reputation within the sect will be even greater.
After hunting down the fifth-level monster, Qingxuanzong will naturally gain great benefits.
Qingchan's talisman-making skills were extremely high, so she naturally exchanged the essence and blood fur of the fifth-level unicorn owl to prepare high-level talismans.
The horn, wings, beak and other materials of the one-horned owl are temporarily placed in the sect's treasury until they are sold at the Qi National Treasures Conference in exchange for a sum of money.
However, the spirit bones of the one-horned owl were kept, and Qing Chan was going to refine them into a fifth-level formation disk, and use the fifth-level magic tools left by the sect's predecessors to refine a set of fifth-level formations and place them on the Camel Mountain.
Strengthen the defense of Tuoshan to resist the fifth-level monsters.
During this time of monster chaos, Guiyuan Mountain fell. Not only was the teleportation array damaged by the monsters, but the fifth-level formations arranged on Guiyuan Mountain were also destroyed by the monsters.
This loss can be considered a traumatic experience for Qingxuanzong.
Even if the horned owl was successfully eliminated and a windfall was made, it was actually just enough to make up for the shortfall. Excluding the spiritual objects for reward, there was not much left, and even hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones were taken from the sect's treasury.
of property.
After dealing with these minor matters, the most critical thing is the ownership of the fifth-level demon pill.
The sect now has four masters from the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, but Zhu Wuya is already old and frail. Although he does not give up, it is actually difficult to compete with the other three.
Among the remaining Han Yan, You Nianwei and Luo Ziyan, when talking about their contributions, Luo Ziyan naturally takes the lead.
Luo Ziyan has made great contributions to the sect's inheritance and development over the years.
Moreover, this person has a closer relationship with Patriarch Jin and Lu Hongniang, and has the strongest accumulation. This person has been cultivating to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for more than 50 years, and he has the greatest confidence in breaking through the golden elixir.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan played a more crucial role in hunting the one-horned swan, Han Yan would have difficulty competing against Luo Ziyan with their full support.
First Han Yan is young after all, and still has two hundred years to wait, and Luo Ziyan is already 380 years old, and there is not much time to delay. Second Han Yan has only been a few years away from breaking through the ninth floor of Zi Mansion, and wants to break through
Golden elixir will take at least ten years of work.
However, the fifth-level demon elixir is related to the path of a monk. Patriarch Liang has worked hard for it all his life, but he has never had the chance to get it.
Naturally, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife were not willing to miss this opportunity.
There must be a fight between dragons and tigers over the ownership of this demon pill.
