"Does Brother Gongsun have this elixir in his hands?"
Xie Duanyang asked curiously, not too surprised.
The other party is rich and might be able to compete with ordinary Nascent Souls. It is not surprising that he has an ancient elixir formula in his hand.
"Yes and no."
First he nodded, then Gongsun Li shook his head again.
He didn't make any excuses, but explained directly.
"Xuan Chi Zhenli Dan uses a variety of rare materials, and the refining techniques are also very demanding.
Even in ancient times, it was not a common commodity.
Although Hanhai Palace dominates the East China Sea, only true disciples can enjoy this elixir.
However, the alchemist of Hanhai Palace re-deduce a shortened version based on the prescription.
The art of transforming alchemy into spiritual food..."
“It turns out that this is where the snake and turtle pot comes from.”
Luo Gui nodded, suddenly enlightened.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Li shook his head again.
It turns out that the Snake and Turtle Pot is actually a shrunken and deleted version.
In today's world of cultivation, spiritual energy has declined, and suitable materials have become increasingly rare.
Even the original recipe was difficult to put together, so it was simplified again.
As time passed, even the previous prescriptions were gradually lost and lost.
It's just its effectiveness.
If consumed for a long time, it can also be used to ease tendons, cleanse the marrow, and strengthen the foundation.
However, it has almost no effect on the alchemy monks to clear the pass, and it is becoming less and less important.
In Gongsun Li's hands, he had the second version of the prescription.
Probably, it can increase the probability of breakthrough by about 10%.
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag, made two copies on the spot and handed them to the two of them.
"That's already very precious."
Luo Gui murmured to himself.
Although in the same realm, it is much less difficult to break through the bottleneck.
But there are still a lot of monks who are stuck in the middle or even early stages of their lives.
Now there is an extra 15% certainty, which cannot be ignored no matter what.
In fact, he was secretly glad.
If it were the original Xuan Chi Zhenli Dan recipe, 90% of the time he would not be able to get the materials together.
Even if you are lucky enough to find all the raw materials, you may not be able to find an alchemist to refine them into an elixir.
But if it is a scaled-down version, given his wealth and connections, he might still be able to achieve it if he thinks of a way.
Of course, it would be great if there was Xuan Chi’s True Li Dan.
Xie Duanyang also became somewhat interested after hearing this, but it was not because of this elixir.
His foundation is solid and strong, and he has no shortcomings in terms of spiritual consciousness, magical power, or even physical strength.
Within Jiedan territory, there shouldn’t be too many obstacles.
However, the situation of the three editions of Xuanji Zhenli Dan is really special. If you can get a few prescriptions in your hands, compare them with each other.
It will definitely take his alchemy attainments to a higher level.
"That doesn't mean it's all hopeless."
Hearing Luo Gui lamenting the pity, Gongsun Li chuckled softly.
"Brother Gongsun, are you serious about what you said?!"
Luo Gui immediately became excited and stared at him with burning eyes.
"Brother Luo and I have known each other for many years. You should know that I will not trick anyone at will.
I will not hide it from you two. The reason why I broke through to the later stage is because I found a Xuan Chi Zhenli Dan at the ruins where I was going thirty years ago.
It's a pity that I got into a fight with someone and had to withdraw from it, without having time to find other benefits.
Otherwise, by now, he might have become a false infant."
Hearing that there might still be Xuan Chi Zhenli Dan in the ruins, Luo Gui was really excited this time and couldn't help but show off.
He originally hoped that if he could get one or two ancient treasures, he would be satisfied.
After all, miraculous medicines were not available everywhere in ancient times.
Not to mention that after tens of thousands of years, even if the elixir remains, if it is not well preserved, it may have deteriorated and become useless.
But with a living and ready-made example like Gongsunli in front of me, I couldn't help but be moved.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Duanyang.
If you don't use Xuan Chi's True Li Dan, then that's it.
But if it exists and there is only one, it will be troublesome.
Among the three, Gongsun Li's cultivation level is close to that of a false infant.
He also agreed in advance that Xuan Chi Zhenli Dan would be of no use to him for that skill.
Then the competition is between two people.
If you encounter this situation, how should you deal with it.
Is it a battle of wits, or is it a promise of valuable treasures in exchange?
Now is the time to think ahead.
But Xie Duanyang wanted more.
He knew that thirty years ago, Gongsun Li obtained an ancient treasure talisman here and escaped from the hands of the ancestor of Fengluo Island.
Maybe that's why he said he had to quit early.
So here comes the question...
If the three of them go to the ruins next, it will be the one they visited last time.
Then, have the remaining treasures inside been looted by the ancestors of Fengluo Island?
If not, then when Yunsheng Market opens this time, will the Yuanying Ancestor arrive?
Although on the surface, the old Yuanying monsters who came were those eight people.
But there's no guarantee that some old bastard won't hide his cultivation identity and sneak in secretly.
If they bump into each other when breaking the restriction, that would be really naughty.
But looking at Gongsun Li's appearance, he didn't seem worried about it.
Or rather, the two places are not the same ruins.
Xie Duanyang was thinking a lot, but it didn't show on his face.
Unless he was crazy, he would not set up a trap to frame himself and Luo Gui.
Not good value for money.
After finishing the snake soup, it's time to rest.
Although the spiritual energy in that cave is more intense, it has been occupied by the python demon for many years, and the demonic energy is soaked in it, making it difficult to get rid of the smell.
The three of them were not pleased, so they each chose a quiet room in another cave.
Simply set up a ban on the seat, and then place the glazed lamp at the center of the formation.
Xie Duanyang opened his mouth and spat out the bone relics, adding a simple meal.
As he slowly digested the remaining bones and flesh of the flying snake, he began to think about the meal recipe Gongsun Li had given him.
Techniques, heat, etc. are not very difficult for him as a master of alchemy.
The only trouble is the materials.
The main materials, black water snakes and green-whiskered turtles, are readily available.
As for the more than thirty kinds of demon blood spiritual grass used as auxiliary materials, there are basically various types or seen in the market, but most of them lack spiritual power.
However, according to Xie Duanyang's calculations, if he participates in a few more auctions and wanders around the market a few more times, he still has great hope of getting it all together.
but……
Just making this soup is not worth much.
Compared with elixirs, the advantage of Lingshan is that it requires less technical materials.
However, the drawback is that it lacks effectiveness and is difficult to store and transport, so it needs to be taken immediately.
It’s not like the magic elixir that can be circulated back and forth at auctions after being refined.
If you want to maximize its value, it is best to obtain the original recipe of Xuan Chi Zhen Li Dan.
Then combine the three prescriptions to deduce a new and improved prescription.
There is not much to talk about in the next few days.
The three of them went out to practice the combined attack formation during the day. At night, Xie Duanyang continued to analyze the elixir recipe in the quiet room.
No wind, no waves, everything is stable.
Three days have passed, and I feel that I have completely adapted to the oppression in Yunsheng Ruins.
Xie Duanyang and others continued along the route without further delay.
This time, it was not as smooth as before.
After traveling for less than a day, I encountered a severe restriction.
Fortunately, the Forbidden-Breaking Compass that Luo Gui spent a lot of money to obtain is indeed very powerful.
Gongsun Li also knew a lot about the formation restrictions in Yunsheng Ruins, and could always make a few pointers on key points.
In just two days, the three people passed safely.
The subsequent itinerary was roughly the same.
Four restrictions were broken in succession, but it took longer and longer.
Along the way, we also encountered several abandoned caves, and harvested very few ancient treasures, elixirs, etc.
But I picked a lot of spiritual herbs that were one or two hundred years old, and I picked up the scraps of white bone relics and my mouth was full of oil.
Xie Duanyang calculated carefully, and before he knew it, he was almost able to gather the materials needed for the Dao Dan recipe.
It's just that the three of them were careful enough to keep a low profile, and the route they chose was relatively remote.
But in the end, he would inevitably face off against other treasure-hunting monks and fight to the death.
The three of them jointly activated the formation. In this Yunsheng Ruins, even the old monster Nascent Soul was capable of fighting.
The result is naturally no suspense.
But when two of them met, three of them were folded here.
Only one person had a pretty good protective ancient treasure and barely managed to save his life and escaped with injuries.
Time is precious, and the environment in Yunsheng Ruins is complicated, so Xie Duanyang and others are too lazy to chase him.
After simply dividing the spoils on the spot, we started back on the road, but our whereabouts became more and more hidden.
We have reached the inner area of Yunsheng Ruins here. Unlike before, there are still many places that have not been fully explored.
There are a lot of good things, but the characters it introduces are also quite troublesome.
"A bunch of paupers."
Luo Gui curled his lips and commented with slight dissatisfaction.
To be fair, those four people are not weak in strength.
One-on-one, he couldn't pick anyone off easily.
But their net worth is really difficult for three people to judge.
Not to mention the elixir for improving mana, the four of them had two ancient treasures, and the more precious one was taken away.
Xie Duanyang didn't complain. There were a lot of spiritual herbs picked and collected in the storage bags of the three of them.
If it were a ready-made elixir, it might take a lot of effort.
But when it came to medicinal herbs, Luo Gui's interest dropped drastically. After he gave up a few monster materials, he easily pocketed them.
There are quite a few of them that are useful in Gongsunli's food and medicine prescriptions.
"Two fellow Taoists, it seems we have to change our route."
Gongsun Li suddenly slowed down and spoke seriously to the two of them.
"Brother Gongsun, what do you mean, the route was not determined from the beginning?
If I remember correctly, if you change the route here.
Either we have to cross the Black Rift Swamp, or we have to force our way into the Hidden Abyss, neither of which is a good place..."
Looking aside, Luo Gui looked particularly ugly.
Xie Duanyang did not respond, but also frowned.
However, the two are not thinking about the same thing, and his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the other's.
Even though Gongsun Li is by his side, it's hard to let them all go.
But he could still vaguely sense that about two hundred miles ahead of the original route, the vitality fluctuations were extremely strong.
It looks like someone is fighting...
But judging from this level, it is definitely not something that a person with an elixir can cause.
Could it be that those Nascent Soul old monsters faced each other in Yunsheng Ruins.
If there is only one, three people are not afraid.
But regardless of the Hundred Islands Alliance or the other side, there is more than one Nascent Soul cultivator, and there are also old monsters in the mid-term to hold the battle.
If you get involved, it will be really hard to get out.
"Fellow Daoist Gongsun's cultivation is far superior to mine, let alone his understanding of this place.
This trip was originally led by Brother Gongsun, and since he said so, I guess there must be a reason!"
He was so cheerful, which was somewhat beyond Gongsun Li's expectation.
After being stunned for a moment, he explained the reason, which was quite different from what Xie Duanyang perceived.
Hearing that there might be a fight between Yuanying old monsters ahead, Luo Gui immediately followed Shan Ruliu and agreed to change direction.
Then the next step is to see which way.
By this time, Gongsunli no longer made decisions directly.
Lest your companions feel that you are acting arbitrarily and hurting your kindness.
Anyway, no matter which path it takes, with the combined efforts of three people, there is no reason why it can't be overcome.
"Then choose Blackpool.
The most troublesome thing here is nothing but the blood midges. Brother Gongsun's invisible sword wave is most effective in dealing with these insects.
Although there are no powerful monsters in Hidden Abyss, the geography is weird and the suppression force is extremely strong. It was difficult for me to adapt to the power of divine consciousness..."
After listening to Xie Duanyang's words, Luo Gui couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Although blood midges are difficult to deal with, they are still tangible things.
But for monks like them, the feeling of being suppressed and unable to function properly is too uncomfortable.
It was empty and there was not much sense of security.
Anyway, he would rather fight on a hard bridge than have to experience the feeling of being constrained again.
Having made up their minds, the three of them no longer hesitated and turned decisively at the next fork of the river.
After only sixty or seventy miles, the river slowed down and even the clouds and mist in the sky changed slightly.
Not to mention the color, it also has a slightly fishy and sweet smell.
"The mist in the Haili Marsh combines with the earth's evil spirit and miasma, and is toxic.
Although there is no serious problem for us and the Danjie monks, we still cannot be careless.
Everyone is ready to take the antidote elixir..."
With the reminder in his mouth, Gongsun Li was about to cast a spell to urge the cloud and rain flags to shrink the protective range to better resist the miasma.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Xie Duanyang had stood up and brushed his body lightly.
Then, a circle of blue-green mist and mist rose into the air, leaping lightly over the mist formed by the clouds and rain flags, and another layer of protection was laid outside it.
But seeing Yanlan rising and shrinking, the faint miasma surrounding it took the initiative to plunge into it as if it were alive.
When it came out again, the color of the clouds and mist had faded, but the color of the mist seemed a little thicker and brighter.
"Junior Brother Zhang, this is..."
Luo Gui was a little surprised, and unconsciously looked at Xie Duanyang, who had been so quiet since he came in.
Of course he knew that the robe on the other side was a protective treasure of magic weapon level, but he didn't expect that it actually had such ability.
"It's just that when I inherited the mantle of the Divine Weapon Sect, I got a half-finished robe, and a few years ago I accidentally got a poison repellent bead during the beast wave.
By refining the two together, luckily, I gained some ability to absorb toxins.
If Senior Brother Luo is interested in this Hundred Poison Cold Light Barrier, Junior Brother can give the method of sacrificial refining to Brother Luo."
Xie Duanyang waved his hand and said lightly.
He suggested taking the route of Black Rift Marsh, but actually he had some selfish motives.
It was because he was attracted by the miasma that had accumulated here for countless years that he could increase the power of the poison-control beads and save himself a lot of time in refining.
