The two jade slips, one for Alchemy and one for Formation, are the essence of what the owner of the valley has learned. They detail some of his knowledge and insights about alchemy and array formation.
This knowledge and insights are extremely helpful to Ning Chen. As he himself felt, the Chinese Taoist theory allowed him to look at the world from a high-level perspective, but this height is too metaphysical, focusing on essence and underestimating appearance.
Knowledge is not helpful, after all, the earth is short of spiritual energy, and these alchemy methods, formations, talismans, etc. are almost all about the use of spiritual energy, accumulated and deduced by the predecessors of this world for thousands of years.
These two classics opened the door to the way of alchemy and formation for Ning Chen. Not only did they record a lot of yellow-level elixirs and formations, but each of the classics even touched on the content of the mysterious level. It can be seen that the master of the valley not only has his own
The cultivation base has entered the Condensing Yuan stage, and the opponent's alchemy and formation methods have also reached the stage of Condensing Yuan.
"So it turns out that the control of heat and handprints in alchemy is based on this principle. It is mainly to control the differentiation and fusion of medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace. The initial introduction of the medicine and the final formation of the elixir are also top priorities."
"The formation is mainly composed of one or more formation eyes and multiple formation devices, with formation patterns depicting corresponding functions, and finally work together to form an almost regular field."
With the introduction of these two jade slips, Ning Chen sensed the presence of several formations in the valley, a confusing formation, a cloud evil formation and a spirit gathering formation, and there was also a Lichen formation in the cave.
array and a firebending array.
There are also those Xuan-level elixirs. There are only two Xuan-level elixirs recorded in the Alchemy Sutra, but all four of them are one of them, called "Xingkong Yuan Dan". Their main function is to assist in cultivation.
, can greatly increase one's own true energy reserves. It is the main auxiliary elixir for monks in the early stage of condensation. However, this elixir cannot be used by monks in the Qi refining stage. The true energy contained in it can directly explode a monk at the peak of Qi refining.
.
"Don't take medicine randomly." Ning Chen thought to himself, "Will Fengzi swallow it in one gulp? Probably not. The Xuan-level elixir is too precious, so he is probably more likely to sell it.
"
Ning Chen studied the two jade slips and looked at the remoteness and quietness of the valley. He had experienced another epiphany before and had accumulated a lot of spiritual stones. He simply stayed in the valley and calmed down to practice for a while.
…
In the following time, in addition to practicing every day, Ning Chen also studied the methods of alchemy and formations that he had mastered.
There are no conditions for the formation. I can only study the formations that the owner of the valley has arranged before. Moreover, the formation code also takes into account some weapon refining methods, because the magic weapons required for the formation need to be refined by the formation master.
It's made, but the requirements are not that high.
As for alchemy, Ning Chen re-opened the underground fire passage under the alchemy furnace in the cave. The herbs in the abandoned medicine field and the spiritual plants collected by Ning Chen were used for him to practice. However, refining alchemy is much more difficult than drawing talismans. Ning Chen realized that
He has learned 70% to 80% of the techniques in the Alchemy Sutra, and he is using a top-notch yellow-level high-grade elixir furnace. However, in the end, most of the spiritual plants in his hand were destroyed, and even a furnace of yellow-level low-grade elixirs was lost.
Not refined.
This made Ning Chen very depressed, knowing that his foundation in alchemy was weak and his accumulation in alchemy was far from enough, so he finally stopped the meaningless practice of alchemy.
Although Ning Chen's alchemy and formation methods have not made much progress, after a period of practice, he has completely absorbed the experience of the previous battles. He is no longer the Chu brother who has never experienced battles and can only rely on smashing talismans to bully others.
.
…
On this day, Ning Chen was practicing when he suddenly felt that someone had broken into the mysterious formation. Ning Chen frowned. This valley is so secret. Only Han Yu and the others have found it for hundreds of years. Why can't he live in seclusion here?
On the 10th, someone else appeared at the entrance of the valley?
Although Ning Chen has removed all the golden leaves in the forest, it can't stop the intruders for long. He still can't control the linkage changes of the maze array and the killing array, so he can only sit back and watch people break into the array.
Ning Chen immediately thought of Ke Fengzi. Could it be that he was leading people to seek revenge? But he was just a casual cultivator. Ning Chen was very familiar with casual cultivators. He had no background, no friends, and no backers. Last time Ke Fengzi was able to escape.
He should be lucky, not to mention that he also took away a Xuan-level elixir worth two to three thousand lower-grade spiritual stones. If he was lucky, he might be able to advance to the later stage of Qi refining, so how could he come to find him without knowing what he said?
No matter who the visitor was, Ning Chen always wanted to go out and take a look. He stood up, took all his things with him, and was fully prepared before he walked towards the entrance of the valley.
As soon as Ning Chen walked out of the maze, he saw about ten people standing in front of the maze, but Fengzi was also among them, but he was only standing in the center of the crowd. Standing at the front were two middle-aged men, one wearing a
One person is wearing yellow clothes, and one person is wearing green clothes. All of them are in the late stages of Qi refining.
"That's him!" Ke Fengzi pointed at Ning Chen and gritted his teeth and said, "This person is despicable and shameless. After we found the ruins, we kindly invited him to break the formation together and share the treasures in the ruins. However, he had hidden evil intentions and not only pretended to be a Qi Refiner.
In the middle period, after discovering the treasure, he secretly attacked us and wanted to take the treasure for himself. If I hadn't been careful, he would have killed us all!"
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Fengzi would actually say such confusing words. He recognized the clothes of the two middle-aged men in front of the team. They were disciples of the Tianlan Sect. The Tianlan Sect had always been associated with casual cultivators.
If you have a good relationship, maybe you actually have some friendship with Ke Fengzi, and you are actually invited here by Ke Fengzi.
"But how did Fengzi judge that I would stay here?" Ning Chen was a little confused.
In fact, this was Ning Chen's misunderstanding about Ke Fengzi. He escaped with his life and received another Xuan-level elixir. Knowing that Ning Chen was in the late stage of Qi refining, how could he bother to cause trouble for Ning Chen?
?
However, when he was selling elixirs in Shanfeng Pavilion of Tianlan Sect, he was deceived by disciples of Tianlan Sect. But Fengzi did not get any benefits from this matter, and he was not worried that Shanfeng Pavilion would covet him.
Naturally, Ning Chen would not hide a mere Mysterious level pill, but in order to protect his own image, he told the whole incident to the disciples of the Tianlan Sect.
However, he underestimated the attraction of the relics of an alchemist from the Condensation Period to the Tianlan Sect. What's more, according to Ke Fengzi's description, the alchemist left two jade slips, and his alchemy must be among them.
Enlightenment.
The disciples of Tianlan Sect hurriedly reported the matter, which attracted the attention of Shanfeng Pavilion. However, a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining was not enough to attract their attention. While reporting the matter to the sect, they sent two deacons to take Ke Fengzi with them.
Come here to find out, hoping to find Ning Chen nearby.
Originally, they had no hope and wanted to wait for more disciples to arrive to expand the search area. However, they did not expect that they were so lucky. Ning Chen actually stayed here and did not leave the valley at all.
They promised to help Ke Fengzi seek justice, not only to avenge him, but also to buy the two jade slips according to the price after they obtained them, so that they would not treat him badly.
But Fengzi had never encountered such a good thing before, so he pretended to be more like the victim and led the people of Tianlan Sect all the way to the valley.
As for the casual cultivators behind the three of them, they all met the three of them along the way and after learning about this incident, they voluntarily came to cheer for the Tianlan Sect. This shows the status of the Tianlan Sect among the casual cultivators.
