Volume Four: Taiqing Gate 519 Fights the Blue Seal Again
One day two years later.
When Liu Ming took out a condensed pill with two light silver pill lines on the surface from the silver cauldron, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
This is the first high-grade condensation elixir he has cultivated in two years. Although it is only an ordinary elixir with one elixir pattern, it is already more refined than the ordinary elixirs with very low purity that he has cultivated in two years.
Great progress has been made.
But at this time, Liu Ming's rate of refining the Cold Condensation Pill was still no more than 30%.
Three years later, after repeated refining, the elixir yield of Liu Ming's condensation elixir was finally as high as 70%, and by luck, he could occasionally produce earth-grade elixirs with a purity of more than 80%.
Refining cold-condensed elixirs can produce such a high elixir-forming rate. If it were outside, most alchemists would be stunned.
After all, not many people would spend such a large amount of money to repeatedly refine this elixir. Even if they had such financial resources, they would not be able to collect so many materials.
Even so, Liu Ming seemed to have no intention of ending.
But in the following months, Liu Ming discovered that although he refined the elixir in the same way, the effect of improving the elixir production rate and elixir quality had slowed down significantly.
After some thought, he judged that refining this elixir had encountered a bottleneck, and further refining it would only achieve half the result with half the effort. Therefore, he decided to put the condensation elixir aside and began to try to refine the second elixir recorded in the elixir recipe.
Here comes Jin Yuanwan.
With the previous experience of refining cold condensation pills, the process of refining Jinyuan Pills this time was much smoother. For pills that are both in the condensation stage, there is always something to learn from the refining method.
Only nine months later, the first mortal Jin Yuan Pill with a light golden spiritual pattern on its surface was successfully refined.
Looking at the golden elixir in his hand, Liu Ming showed a hint of contemplation on his face.
Since Jin Yuan Pill is refined using monster crystal cores as the main material, the refining process of monster essence cores is quite time-consuming, resulting in a furnace of elixirs taking about three days. Compared with before,
With the condensed elixir, the efficiency of elixir refining is obviously much lower.
The refining rate of Jin Yuan Pills into pills is closely related to the quality of Jin Yuan Beast Essence Core.
He purchased a total of five Jin Yuan Beast sperm cores. Four of them were in the early stage of condensation, and the other was taken from a Jin Yuan beast in the middle stage of condensation.
The result was as expected. The Jinyuan Pill refined from the essence core in the middle stage of condensation had a pill-forming rate of about 30% as soon as it started. After repeated practice, it was as high as 50% or 60%.
However, the elixir yield rate of the elixir refined from the essence core in the initial stage of condensation is only less than 10%. After more than half a year of practice, the elixir yield rate is only hovering between 20 and 30%.
In addition, the grades of Jin Yuan Dan refined from different grades of essence cores are also quite different.
Even if the Jin Yuan Pills refined from the essence cores in the initial stage of condensation become elixirs, they are inferior elixirs with a purity of only 30 to 40%. Occasionally, they will be refined into a few ordinary elixirs with a purity of 50 to 60%.
The purity of the elixirs refined from the essence core in the middle stage of the condensation is generally around 50 to 60%. Occasionally, high-grade elixirs can also be refined.
It seems that in order to refine the high-purity elixir in the condensation stage, the materials used are also very critical, and the cost of raw materials will also increase, but compared with the increase in the value of the elixir itself, it is still a great deal.
Those high-grade elixirs are generally priced but not available in the market, and everyone is competing for them.
After thinking this, Liu Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He immediately put away the golden elixir, stretched his hands a little, then stood up and walked towards Bone Scorpion and Flying Skull.
In front of a wall of air, the flying head was surrounded by a cloud of black air. Green flames were spitting out from its mouth, constantly attacking the front.
I don’t know what kind of restriction the gray air wall in the mysterious space is, but under the constant impact of the green flames, strong mana fluctuations vibrate on the surface, causing ripples layer by layer in the void, slowly spreading to the surroundings. open.
Seeing Liu Ming coming over, Feitou shook his head in the air, and then a crimson light flashed in his eyes, a layer of green light was faintly visible on the surface of his body, and his hair stood up. He faced the wall of air in front of him. Shooting away in dense numbers.
After a crackling sound, there were many tiny holes visible to the naked eye on the gray air wall, which was obviously sharper than when it entered this space. However, after just a moment, all the holes were closed again.
"Well done." Seeing this, Liu Ming nodded slightly and praised softly.
Hearing this, Feitou dodged happily and flew around Liu Ming's body.
When Liu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but laugh a little.
The flying head could not help but sound like a child at this moment, and even his mind seemed to be a little closer.
After waving his hand to indicate that he should continue practicing, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Bone Scorpion.
"Master..." Bone Scorpion was different from Flying Skull. When he saw Liu Ming approaching, he jumped onto his shoulder and rubbed his soap robe with his giant claw.
Liu Ming was not tired of Bone Scorpion's intimate behavior. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked his somewhat cold back, then ordered him to show off his recent cultivation achievements.
The bone scorpion immediately jumped down from Liu Ming's body, took another sharp breath, and after a silvery glow appeared on its body, its body suddenly expanded to more than ten feet in size as if it was blowing air.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ming took two steps back and stopped to observe carefully.
However, he saw the black mist billowing from the body of the giant bone scorpion in front of him, and the silver streaks on its back were flashing. The head of the dragon on the purple crystal tail hook that bent forward was blurred, and turned into a faint purple light and almost disappeared.
At the same time, there was an extremely rapid "bah" sound in the void.
The attack speed of the tail hook has reached an incredible speed!
As the screams stopped, the purple dragon head behind the bone scorpion flashed again. It looked back at Liu Ming with a proud look, then waved a pair of giant aos, and black energy filled them. , and swung away towards the wall of air ahead.
"Boom!"
The gray mist on the surface of the air wall suddenly rolled violently, and it was also mixed with a lot of looming black air.
After the mist slowly stopped rolling, there was a huge depression several feet deep on the air wall, which was recovering at a slow speed. Obviously, the black air in it had the effect of hindering its recovery.
"You did a good job, you can stop." After Liu Ming judged that the bone scorpion's attack methods had improved a lot, he immediately waved his hand to signal it to stop.
Luo Hu once mentioned that the mysterious space is related to the sealing of ancient demons. If the air wall of this space is accidentally damaged, I really don't know what the consequences will be.
When the Bone Scorpion heard this, the black energy on its body subsided, and then turned into several inches in size. After shaking, it landed on Liu Ming's shoulder.
Liu Ming smiled slightly, gently touched the bone scorpion's giant claw, and asked him to continue practicing together.
After he issued the same command to Feitou through his spiritual consciousness, he turned back to the silver cauldron, sat down cross-legged, and continued to refine the elixir.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Ming has been refining Jin Yuan Dan for three years.
At this time, he had already mastered some of the secrets of refining Jin Yuan Pill.
Both the quality and success rate have been greatly improved, and the mid-stage condensed essence core can also be used to occasionally refine high-grade elixirs.
Liu Ming was quite satisfied with this.
Although Jinyuan Pill is only a recovery elixir, its recovery effect is by no means comparable to that of ordinary elixirs and spiritual stones.
In some situations where there is an urgent need to restore mana, a faster mana recovery rate may often determine the success or failure of the battle, or even life or death.
And one ordinary Jinyuan Pill is enough to replenish most of his mana in one meal.
At this time, his practice on this elixir also encountered a bottleneck. Even though he refined it in the next few months, the improvement in the related elixir skills was minimal.
On this day, he finished refining alchemy again. After discovering that he had not improved at all, he immediately gave up his plan to continue refining alchemy.
With a thought in his mind, he pointed lightly toward the silver cauldron, and the silver cauldron in front of him suddenly dimmed in silver light, soared into the sky, spun around, and then turned into a flying ball in his sleeve, about the size of an inch.
After he thought about it for a moment, his figure blurred, and after another flash, he appeared in front of the Huntian Monument not far away.
There are still one to two years before the mysterious space disappears, now it's time to make good use of this "phantom pupil"!
This thing can replicate the fierce battles it has experienced when encountering powerful enemies. There is no doubt that with more training, its actual combat capabilities may be greatly improved.
After all, the true strength of a cultivator depends not only on your cultivation level, but also on your ability to adapt to battles.
After Liu Ming made the plan in his mind, he immediately stretched out one hand without saying a word, lightly patted the black vertical eye pattern on the Huntian Monument, and injected a little magic power into it.
As the Huntian Monument trembled slightly, the black vertical eyes slowly opened like a living creature, revealing the silvery pupils.
The pupils moved up and down slightly, then stared at Liu Ming who was standing in front of the monument.
Having had previous experiences, Liu Ming immediately focused his attention on the pupils in the black vertical eyes. Immediately, his spiritual consciousness made a "boom" sound, and after the surrounding space blurred, he once again appeared in the cave where the huge demon head altar was previously sealed.
among.
And in front of him not far away, there was a pair of ferocious eyes staring at him. It was the demonized Lan Xi whose body was covered with black spiritual patterns!
Due to the limitations of the Phantom Eye, the illusions it produces can only be scenes of battles between opponents that leave a deep impression on him. For this, Liu Ming has only two candidates, namely the Siren Emperor and Demonized Lanxi.
The Kraken Emperor's cultivation had reached the True Alchemy Realm, and the difference in strength was too big. At that time, the two could not be considered fighting. Liu Ming only detonated the sword embryo before taking one of his moves.
In contrast, the battle between the demonized Lanxi lasted only a few breaths, and the opponent did not use any spiritual weapons. He just relied on his demonized body and speed to easily defeat him. For the current mana and physical conditions,
For Liu Ming, who has improved a lot, he is just a suitable opponent.
As for Lan Xi's demonized strength, I'm afraid it's what ordinary mid-to-late crystal crystal cultivators will encounter, and even those who are not careful will be killed or injured.
