Zhang Nuxiu's face changed and she was speechless.
There is no distinction between good and evil skills in cultivating immortals, but some skills are very cruel to practice, and the cost of performing the accompanying spells is very high, and they are very powerful, so they are called demonic skills.
When practicing magic skills, progress is very fast in the early stage, but when certain bottlenecks are reached, it is extremely difficult to break through.
This is exactly the opposite of the Turtle Breath Kung practiced by Hong Ming.
The spiritual power of the Turtle Breathing Technique is pure, the speed of practice is extremely slow, and the power is not strong, but the bottleneck of breakthrough is much smaller.
"Is what fellow Taoist said true?"
Sister Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Hong Ming smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang can speculate on this matter himself, so why bother asking me again."
Zhang Nuxiu was silent.
This matter is not difficult to speculate.
Fellow Daoist Zheng is an alchemist. It is said that he is not very talented in alchemy. After so many years, he is still not a monk in the late stage of Qi training. This is very suspicious in itself.
But if you think about it, if you practice magic skills, it would be too difficult to break through the bottleneck in the later stages, so this makes sense.
In addition, Daoyou Zheng's previous reputation seemed not to be good. He was kind and fair. It seemed that it was only in the past few years that he suddenly became famous.
Thinking of this, Sister Zhang's face instantly turned pale.
"Thank you!"
Sister Zhang opened her mouth to thank her.
Hong Ming didn't say much.
After putting away the formation disk, Hong Ming returned to his cave. This time, Hong Ming opened the defensive formation and warning formation first, and then Hong Ming felt relieved.
This time I went to sea, and I gained a lot.
Not to mention the increased experience, there are also many gains.
About 700 spiritual stones had arrived previously, which was considered a big harvest.
Later, I met the monk in Tsing Yi who was in the late stage of Qi training and almost died. However, fortunately, he shared the treasures and spiritual stones in the storage bag of the monk named Wei, and gained another sum. Added together, this trip actually had a profit of
The harvest of more than a thousand spiritual stones.
However, Hong Ming couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he thought of what he had vaguely observed underground.
"How did the monk in green clothes in the late stage of Qi training die? The secrets of Fellow Daoist Zheng are really terrifying!" Hong Ming murmured to himself. If he is unlucky, he will not be able to come back.
"But the explosive treasure should be a kind of divine fire thunder. It is so powerful that even a monk in the late stage of Qi training will be seriously injured if he encounters it!"
Hong Ming coveted that treasure.
There is also the storage bag left by the monk in green. It can be chased by monsters in the later stage of Qi training. There must be many treasures in it.
Comparatively speaking, Daoyou Zheng's gains are really great, and he may not be able to break through to the later stages of his Qi training.
Thinking of this, Hong Ming couldn't help but show worry on his face.
Two hours later.
Hong Ming came to Zhang's shop again.
This time, Hong Ming sold all the miscellaneous things he had on him in exchange for more than 700 pieces of spiritual stones, and then Hong Ming spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you have also seen the injuries on my lower body. Is there any suitable healing elixir?"
Hong Ming did not hide it too much. The skin and flesh on his arms and legs were burned to pieces. Fortunately, the bones and internal organs were not burned, so it was not a particularly serious injury.
"This matter is easy to handle. I'll send someone to get the elixir."
Zhang Yongfu agreed immediately.
Last time, when Hong Ming arrived, there were fifteen hundred spiritual stones coming and going, which was considered good luck. But this time, seven hundred spiritual stones were obtained, which was not good luck.
Although Zhang Yongfu didn't know the reason, he was sure that Hong Ming had some abilities.
After the elixir was brought, Zhang Yongfu began to introduce:
"This elixir is taken internally to replenish qi and blood and restore flesh and blood. This plaster is applied externally to speed up the recovery of the injury. It is estimated that it will be all healed in three or four days."
"Thank you!"
Hong Ming was not polite and directly paid more than a hundred spiritual stones and took away the plaster and two pills.
"But Fellow Daoist Hong, I have something to say. If you have spare energy, you might as well practice an auxiliary body-training technique. Although it is a little uncomfortable, it will be a lot more convenient when you go out to the sea."
Zhang Yongfu spoke again.
Hong Ming thought for a moment and nodded, but he didn't have many spiritual stones in his body right now, so he couldn't use them for the time being.
After chatting for a few words, Hong Ming turned around and left.
After another half an hour, Hong Ming came out of Feixing Shop and returned to the cave.
After returning to the cave, Hong Ming took out the elixir purchased from Feixing Shop.
Three bottles of pills, a total of nine pills, cost Hong Ming 800 spirit stones, as well as the skin of the buffalo monster. The skin saved half of Hong Ming's life, but he still decisively gave it up.
"Three Water Spirit Pills, three Yellow Cloud Pills, and three Qi-Building Pills. One pill of these pills a month is enough for me to practice for more than half a year."
Hong Ming sold the animal skins and spent all the spiritual stones on his body before buying these nine pills.
This is still a very good harvest for Hong Ming. If he were an ordinary mid-stage Qi training monk, he would probably have to spend the first half of the year hunting monsters to gain such a harvest.
With the elixir in hand, Hong Ming began to practice hard again. The first thing he took was the Water Spirit Pill. Water Spirit Pill was the cheapest and the weakest medicine. It was most suitable for Hong Ming, who was at the fourth level of Qi training.
Hong Ming spent a month refining the elixir, meditating, and refining a bowl-shaped medium-grade earth-attribute defensive weapon.
One month later.
In the cave of Zheng Daoyou, the exchange meeting was held as scheduled.
Only this time, there were two more monks at the fourth level of Qi training.
The seven people exchanged their cultivation experiences, and they all felt that they had benefited a lot. Daoist friend Zheng, in particular, carefully explained his own cultivation experience, which made all the fellow Taoists gain a lot.
Even Hong Ming felt that the bottleneck of advancing from the fourth level of Qi training to the fifth level of Qi training seemed to be loosened a lot.
After the exchange, Daoyou Zheng opened his mouth and said:
"The recent trips to sea have yielded pretty good results. Zheng has already purchased a high-grade Qi Fusion Pill to prepare for the later stage of Qi training. It is estimated that the next time we meet again, it will take half a year."
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist."
"I wish fellow Taoist friends a smooth breakthrough and an early advancement to the later stages of Qi training."
A line of greetings and congratulations.
Fellow Daoist Zheng also returned the gift one after another.
Fellow Daoist Zheng went into seclusion, and Hong Ming's worries became much less severe.
However, before leaving, Sister Zhang told Hong Ming the news that Daoyou Zheng had auctioned a small barrier-breaking pill at an auction.
After receiving this news, Hong Ming's expression changed.
Qi Fusion Pill is the pill that most monks use to break through their bottlenecks during the Qi training period.
However, for some exercises that are more powerful and difficult to break through, monks will choose to take barrier-breaking pills. Barrier-breaking pills are amazingly effective and extremely valuable.
Because the real barrier-breaking elixir is effective for breakthroughs in the foundation-building period.
Therefore, even a small barrier-breaking pill that has a miraculous effect on Qi training requires at least four thousand spiritual stones.
This is a huge sum of money for a monk in the late stages of Qi training.
When Hong Ming heard the news, a complicated feeling arose in his heart, but it had little impact on Hong Ming for the time being. Hong Ming returned to the cave and continued to practice hard in seclusion.
It was only before taking the elixir that Hong Ming glanced at the Sun and Moon Gourd and shouted:
