Chapter 425: Thousand Years of Essence and Foundation-Building Pills
"I'm afraid this red sesame seed has been around for thousands of years.
??Guidao is really interested."
??Xie Duanyang looked intently at a certain jade box and saw a Ganoderma lucidum lying safely inside.
??Although it is only three inches in size, it is full of aura, and there is a faint red air lingering on the surface, which seems to be forming auspicious clouds.
??As soon as the box was opened, there was a feeling of warmth in the room, but there was no burning atmosphere.
??The firepower contained in Ganoderma lucidum is not only rich, but also extremely refined.
??The growth environment of Chi Jingzhi is harsh, and it has always been found only in lava and fire.
??Ordinary monks do not have enough magic power to penetrate deep into the volcanic lava.
??You can't even see this thing, let alone get it.
??But precisely because of this, it has been possible for it to exist for so many years without being picked away.
??Not to mention that the Millennium Spirit Herb is rare, but for monks who practice fire magic, its value is doubled and the effect is significant.
??It’s just that this is the East China Sea, with strong water vapor, and there are not many fire-attribute monsters, medicinal herbs, and mineral materials.
??This thing can only be seen on a few volcanic islands.
??In fact, there are several plants growing in the fire veins and magma under the fire island.
??It’s just that this place has been raided by people, and even the accompanying spiritual objects were taken away. Other treasures are inevitably not spared.
??Therefore, the remaining spiritual herbs are generally only one or two hundred years old.
??The one with the strongest potency only lasts for 300 years, and it grows in a remote and hidden place, so it is estimated that it can be left behind, not as much as this one.
??If Xie Duanyang gets it, he can swallow it and refine it after cultivating it to the peak of the early stage, and it will definitely be much smoother to break through to the middle stage.
??Looking at his expression, the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but show a look of dismay on his face.
??Purple Smoke Island is not very powerful. Even if someone asks for it, they will not spend a huge price to purchase this spiritual herb.
??What’s more, this herb is rare overseas.
??There is also a volcanic island near Ziyan Island, and Xie Duanyang originally intended to build a cave here.
??Although it is not suitable for monks to live for a long time, they have joined forces with the surrounding islands such as Spirit Snake and Biluo to open up several fire chambers for the convenience of refining weapons.
??This red jingzhi is the legacy left by his ancestors.
??The people of Ziyan Island know that this item is valuable, but there are few fire magic monks in the East China Sea, so it is somewhat unpopular.
??For personal use, it is a big waste.
??So I kept it in my hands, and just set up a simple ban around it to keep people from taking turns to look after it, allowing it to continue to grow with the help of magma and fire.
??Anyway, there are no monks on this island, let alone experts above the alchemy level.
??It wasn’t until the old man learned that Chen Liang had an Earth Fire Island Signal Talisman that he made up his mind to lift the restriction and dig out the sesame as a gift.
??Although he knows it, if he continues to procrastinate, it will not be difficult for him to get more benefits.
??But for the sake of Chi Jingzhi, Xie Duanyang didn't bother to play with them and accepted the deposit on the spot.
??However, this treasure is very important and requires a lot of materials, so naturally it cannot be started immediately.
??The hunchbacked old man also brought two weapon refiners trained on the island with him on this trip. They started discussing with him with a roll of warship blueprints.
?? Mainly they came up with ideas, while Xie Duanyang relied on his own skills in weapon refining to come up with solutions and optimization plans.
??It took ten days to finalize the draft and calculate the approximate amount of materials needed.
??Of course, considering the success rate and the existence of defective products, the number must be calculated higher.
??There have been many changes since the original drawing.
??It is not only mixed with other ship refining techniques in the first floor of Baidao Mengtian, but also Xie Duanyang's own inspiration and insight.
??But he is not stupid enough to improve its quality to the point of perfection. It is still one level behind the giant ship of the Hundred Islands Alliance.
??The performance is barely comparable to the previous model at best.
??Of course, if you really want to improve the performance, the required spiritual materials will not be affordable by a small Ziyan Island.
??Even so, the hunchbacked old man was extremely satisfied.
??Not to mention all indicators, as long as Xie Duanyang's estimated performance is 70 to 80%, he will have full confidence in preserving his own business in the next big beast wave.
??After all, Ziyan Island is located close to the inland sea, so the beast tide offensive is not particularly intense.
??After finalizing the plan, the hunchbacked old man's eyes flashed and he tentatively asked if he could make a copy of the new plan drawings for himself. He was willing to pay another price.
??Although the old man is not proficient in weapon refining, he can see that this item is of great value, far better than the one he collected at home.
??Bringing it back is also a part of the family’s heritage.
??But this time, Xie Duanyang did not agree.
??In the new plan, he referred to some of the contents of the classics he had seen on the first floor of the sky, but it was not easy to announce it and let others know.
??This reason is so upright that even a hunchbacked old man can’t say anything.
??Leaving the two weapon refiners and Chen Liang behind, he immediately returned to Purple Smoke Island with the others, preparing to transport the materials needed to refine the ship in batches.
??There are also some spiritual materials, which are newly added, and I have to ask them to inquire and purchase them.
??Fortunately, these levels are not high, and after the beast tide, the materials for cultivating the world in the East China Sea are so abundant that they are overflowing. The price will definitely drop, so now is the time to buy them.
??Sent him away and sent the three of them to live temporarily on the island. Xie Duanyang laughed silently.
??This order came at the right time.
??It just so happens that I have just opened a training class, and the most indispensable thing on the island is monks who know a little bit about weapon refining.
??Although they can't do technically difficult tasks, they can still do it if they just purify and refine the materials, then cut, polish and shape them.
??If we further divide the work and each person only does what they are best at, the efficiency will be even faster.
??Zi Yandao and others thought that it would take them more than ten years to refine this ship, but they were totally wrong.
??How could he waste so much time on external things and delay his practice?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention refining it for others, even for your own magic weapons such as the Fire Flag, the Blood River Flag, the Bone Relics, etc., they are usually processed on semi-finished products.
Not long wasted.
??As for the few important components that require personal attention, the grade is not a magic weapon after all, and it will not be too difficult to refine. Xie Duanyang is confident that it can be completed in one or two years at most.
??After recalling everything in his mind, he felt that there was nothing wrong. He called the three apprentices to explain it in person.
??But he hinted that in the following lectures, they would focus on explaining the techniques and materials used in shipbuilding, and then let some of the students know about it.
??This can be regarded as a graduation package distribution for me.
??You can not only find a job, earn a few spiritual stones, but also practice your newly learned skills. I think most of them will not refuse this kind of good thing.
??After the last two phases, the number of people trained has increased, and Dihuo Island can even take on one or two more orders.
??Not to mention the spiritual stones, materials, etc. earned, the personal relationships cultivated through this are all intangible wealth.
??It would be best if others think that you are obsessed with refining weapons and delay your practice.
??Of course, the orders he takes are bound to not be too many.
??On the one hand, it does affect spiritual practice, and on the other hand, it can easily arouse suspicion among interested people.
??Watching the three people following the orders, Xie Duanyang returned to the cave, entered the lake of fire through the tunnel, and planted the red jingzhi near the Hongluo Tianlu.
??Purple Smoke Island dug it out, and the roots and spirituality were not damaged at all, so it can be replanted.
??The fire veins in the Earth Fire Island are already stronger than those in the volcano, not to mention that this place has been sorted out by him.
??In the center of the "Six Fire Returning Formation", the red jingzhi that grows for one year can at least be worth two or three years of medicine elsewhere.
??After observing it for several days and seeing that it was growing well, Xie Duanyang was relieved and continued to swallow pills and refine them into his own magic power.
??A full half month passed before the hunchbacked old man came to the island again with a whole boat full of materials.
??After that, he arranged for other disciples and descendants to go back and continue to purchase and transport other auxiliary materials, while he himself began to live on the island for a long time.
??This ship is related to the life and death of the Ziyan Island lineage ten years later, and its significance needs no elaboration.
??Only by watching it in person can he truly feel at ease.
??The beast wave has just passed, and nothing major will happen for at least eight or nine years.
??He was happy to stay here, so Xie Duanyang let him go.
??It just so happens that you can help support the scene when you don't show up.
??But since the other party is staying on the island, I have to make a gesture to show him.
??Xie Duanyang had nothing to do with anything, and first processed the few main materials sent by the hunchbacked old man.
??The pill-forming ancestors of Spirit Snake, Biluo, and Ziyan Islands once joined forces to kill and carve up the first six levels of the Brocade Python during the beast tide twenty years ago.
??I don’t know how much money Ziyan Island spent, but most of the materials were left behind.
??The skeleton just serves as the keel of the ship, and the python skin, python tendons, scales, etc. are also useful in their own way.
??Similar things have been done before when he was refining the golden scale ship, but now the texture of the spiritual material is better.
??But at this time, Xie Duanyang has also completed the elixir, and his magic power has greatly improved, so it will not be much difficult.
??Most of the time, I mainly dealt with other materials and prepared for Old Demon Meng and his own spiritual armor robe.
??Occasionally, when I have free time, I use scraps to refine a few magic weapons, or refine furnace elixirs to lighten my mood.
??In just one and a half months, he had managed to get rid of all the spoils from this beast wave, and he even got something to improve the Tao Pill recipe.
??Only this time, it was used by the foundation-building monks, and it was worth far more than the previous five Qi-training period pills.
??At the beginning, Han Li used a blood spirit grass to exchange for two pill prescriptions from his side.
??"Lianqi Powder" is an ancient prescription, and "Heqi Pill" is a substitute that was improved by later generations of monks and is quite popular in several nearby countries.
??Many sects have it, but the raw materials are slightly different.
??He has already studied and mastered these prescriptions very deeply.
??After arriving in the East China Sea, we discovered that there was also an improved elixir based on the "Qi Lian Powder".
??Compared with each other, it also has the foundation laid when perfecting the five elixir prescriptions.
??It was almost a matter of course, and Xie Duanyang improved it again.
??The new prescriptions are not as effective as the ancient prescriptions, but they are much better than the "Heqi Dan".
??It's just slightly inferior to the recipe of Donghai Xianjie, and the materials used are much cheaper, which can save at least 15% of the cost.
??"If I hand this recipe over to the Hundred Islands Alliance, I'm afraid the reward I'll get will be no less than a magic weapon, right?"
??Putting the jade slips into the storage bag, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but sigh.
??The improvement of the elixir during the Qi training period is not that good for the big forces.
??After all, the strength of qi-training disciples is too low to enter the eyes of high-level monks.
??But the foundation-building monks can already be said to be at the backbone level, and most of the affairs are handled by them.
??This recipe, to some extent, actually has some vague strategic value.
??However, I would not do this easily.
??Even if you really want to do it, you will have to change your identity.
??On the contrary, you may consider it when you leave the East China Sea and return to the inland to cultivate the world in the future.
??The East China Sea Cultivation Realm is too small and the Hundred Islands Alliance is so powerful that it is difficult to hide anything special.
??But the world of cultivation in the Great Jin Dynasty is very large, and the ten major sects of good and evil cannot cover the sky with one hand.
??After two months, he gave eight more lectures, and he also personally inspected and provided guidance.
??Students in the first training class can basically use the power of earth fire to build a standard ship plank, but they are still unable to do fine things such as inscribing magic circle runes.
??Hand over three apprentices and let them practice on the scraps repeatedly.
??Xie Duanyang himself packed his storage bag and headed towards Fuzhou Island quietly together with Mrs. Qingzhu who came to visit.
??It’s easy to wait until the beast tide is over, and the Mirage Fair will be held again.
??Just get rid of things you don't need, and then turn the demon pill entrusted to you by Bihong Valley into a pill in a reasonable way.
??It would be great if we could get a few high-level demon pills again.
??Of course, when you get to the island, you first have to visit your cheap master.
??After advancing to the mid-term stage, Chi Tianyang no longer stays in seclusion as before. In addition, the beast tide has just passed, and he has a lot of busy things.
??This time, we met smoothly.
??Feeling the aura on his body, Chi Tianyang nodded slightly with satisfaction.
??Before departure, Xie Duanyang deliberately picked up the "Red Sun Righteous Fire Technique" and practiced it for one or two levels.
??Although he has never practiced before, he has studied it.
??With his basic understanding and Chi Tianyang’s previous guidance, he has already understood it to a great extent.
??Xie Duanyang is now trying his best to gather the golden nature in his own magic power and activate his firepower.
??When people look at it, it feels like they are gradually transforming their original cultivation into the magic power of "Red Sun Righteous Fire Technique".
??Chi Tianyang was a little unhappy that he didn't know how to praise him and declined to stay on Fuzhou Island to take on important responsibilities.
??Just because we really need such a person, we didn’t care about it for a moment.
??But seeing Xie Duanyang begin to abolish the exercises he had practiced for many years and switch to the "Red Yang Righteous Fire Technique", it seemed to be a sign of getting closer to him.
??Chi Tianyang's mood relaxed a lot, and he asked him a few pleasant questions about his practice and the affairs on the island.
??Xie Duanyang took this opportunity to briefly mention the shipbuilding commissioned by Ziyan Island, but it was much simpler, especially the specific performance of the ship.
??Chi Tianyang did not doubt that he was there, and simply gave him several more related jade slips as reference.
??Xie Duanyang was in a hurry when he was on the first floor of the sky, and he didn’t know his identity, so he didn’t actually see all the things.
??In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, such as Mrs. Qingzhu, they think that the two are loving teachers and filial piety, and have a deep relationship.
