"At least I have a certain understanding of its kind. When I swallow it, I won't be at a loss and have no clue."
Thinking of this, the young man agreed very readily: "Okay! Since I can contribute to the country of Daxia, then I will do it!"
Liao Cangmang didn't expect that he suddenly agreed so readily.
The old man with white hair was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! I really saw the right person. You really have the patriotism of General Chen!"
Chen Shen was a little embarrassed by his praise. He smiled innocently on his face, but he had another thought in his heart: "Isn't it just a loss of 10% of the original soul power? You all regard the soul power as a treasure, but this
How different!”
"Rebirth in another world makes my soul power extremely powerful. Dean Liao's so-called original soul power may be less than half for me!"
"Coupled with the two elixirs I took some time ago that permanently increase my soul consciousness, my soul power recovery speed is more than five times faster than that of mystical practitioners of the same realm!"
"Exchanging this price for a valuable experience is definitely worth it!"
…
So, the young man took a carriage with Liao Cangmang and went straight to the palace.
"Dean Liao, about the Danjing Pavilion..." Chen Shen climbed along the pole.
"Don't worry! One hour...oh no! After the matter is completed, I will let you stay in there for two full hours, which can be regarded as compensation for the loss of your original soul power!"
Chen Shen was immediately happy: "It's a deal! Can students divide the total time limit of two hours into two uses, half of it each time?"
"You are so good, you know how to leave time to digest. Well, I, the dean, am sure!" Liao Cangmang smiled and nodded.
In fact, this old man completely misinterpreted Chen Shen's original intention.
The reason why he divided it twice is because the shorthand special effect of "Strong Memory Pill" can only last for one hour.
Moreover, continuous use will cause side effects on the cerebral cortex. At least one day and night must be passed before taking the second Qiangji Dan safely.
"Originally there was only one hour. I was worried that if there were too many elixir recipes, I might not be able to remember them. Now, it's better. The time has been doubled. If I only memorize those above the mortal level, it should be more than enough."
The young man was secretly happy and opened up his chat box. He chatted with Dean Liao who was riding in the same sedan chair, and from time to time he even asked a few questions about mutant elements.
By the time the carriage stopped outside the palace gate, Chen Shen already knew the details of his mission and the information about Beidou Feng Huo Lei.
As we all know, there are two ways to obtain the eight mysterious energy attributes of "metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and poison" -
First, it is an attribute that the cultivator practices on his own and can achieve on his own when he breaks through to the realm of the mystical practitioner.
Secondly, it is the mysterious spirit thing that has been nurtured by heaven and earth for countless years. It also has the eight mysterious energy attributes, and because it is derived from the spiritual things of heaven and earth, its power is even more powerful than the mysterious thing that the cultivator has cultivated independently.
The Qi attribute is even more powerful!
People call it: mutated metaphysical element.
If a cultivator finds the method and introduces mutated mysterious energy elements with the same attributes as his own into his body and successfully refines them, then his mysterious power will be greatly enhanced.
However, swallowing the properties of mutated elements is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be killed by the mysterious energy. Conservative estimates suggest that the success rate of a cultivator successfully swallowing mutated elements is no more than one tenth.
Because of this, although the royal family of Daxia had accidentally acquired a mutant element called "Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder" long before the founding of the country, no king in the past generations had ever tried to swallow it——
They don't dare to take the risk!
However, they never gave up their efforts.
Everyone knows how valuable the mutated element is, and they also know that if you want to swallow it, you must first fully understand it.
And if you want to understand it, you must try to communicate with it using soul energy.
The soul power of ordinary cultivators is undoubtedly much inferior to the four mysterious professions of elixir, talisman, food, and weapon.
If the soul energy is not strong enough, it will not be able to "communicate" with this mutated element at all, and it may even suffer the backlash of its thoughts, causing the cultivator's soul to be damaged. That is no joke...
Judging from the appearance of Beidou's wind, fire, and thunder, its wind, fire, and thunder attributes are the most active. This is another reason why the King of Great Xia asked Master Xuan to solve the mystery——
The vast majority of Xuan Dan masters are fire-based Xuan Qi. Their Xuan Qi attribute is similar to the "fire" attribute in Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder, and is theoretically more likely to resonate.
Therefore, Xuan Alchemist at the Xuan level is the best person for the King of Great Xia to use to solve the mystery of mutated elements.
According to Liao Cangmang, now it’s the “puzzle solving time” that happens every three years.
In the past, it was the Xuan Dan masters of the fire element who participated in the task of solving puzzles.
But now, among the Xuan Dan masters, there is suddenly Chen Shen, who has the attribute of thunder and xuan energy.
Moreover, his alchemy skills have reached Xuan level, which not only meets the minimum soul energy cultivation requirements, but also matches the "Thunder" energy link in "Beidou Wind, Fire and Thunder".
"Fire-type alchemists have faced a problem that they have been unable to overcome for thousands of years. Could it be that they started in the wrong direction from the beginning? Perhaps by changing to a thunder-type alchemist, this problem can be easily solved?"
It was precisely because of this thought that Liao Cangmang set his sights on Chen Shen...
The two of them walked into the palace, and as they were walking, they met an acquaintance that Chen Shen didn't want to see the most in the short term -
The man was wearing a military commander's robe, with a standard Chinese-character face, two deep-cut legal lines, and a cold and resolute expression, making this elderly man, who was over seventy years old, look even more solemn!
This person is Chen Shen’s grandfather: Chen Zangfeng.
Other civil servants and generals had already gone to court at noon.
But Xia Yuanlong heard that there was chaos on the Huainan border recently, so he simply left the general alone to discuss the matter, which was not completed until ten minutes ago.
Then, Mr. Chen happened to meet his precious grandson who had been hiding from him for several days.
Chen Shen had sharp eyes and hurriedly covered his face with the ends of his wide sleeves, trying to sneak past.
Unexpectedly, the old man next to him laughed and greeted Chen Zangfeng from afar: "Old General Chen, are you okay?"
"Your sister! Have you ever cheated your teammates like you?" Chen Shen rolled his eyes wildly.
A hundred feet away, Chen Zangfeng returned the greeting.
Just as he was saying some polite words, he glanced over and saw the young man following half a step behind Liao Cangmang.
If Chen Zangfeng hadn't paid attention in advance and Chen Shen had covered his face with his sleeves, he might have been able to get through.
But now, when old man Chen takes a closer look, how could he not detect the aura of his own grandson? He immediately said: "Humph! You little bastard, you are still hiding your face? Why? You are so shy to see people."
