Three days later, Hong Ming returned to the cave again.
In the past three days, Hong Ming visited more than ten markets in the surrounding area and purchased elixir seeds and seedlings in batches from dozens of stalls.
The poor and impoverished casual cultivators who sold elixir seeds and seedlings were scattered all over Donluo Island. Even if someone wanted to trace them, Hong Ming asked himself that after running so far, there would be no results in being traced.
Return to the cave.
Hong Ming entered the Sun and Moon Gourd with the elixir seeds and seedlings.
The sun and moon gourd is still the same as before.
It was dark all around, with no edges visible. There was only a few dozen feet of gray land all around. In the sky, a crescent moon shone on the earth. The moonlight fell down, covering the earth with a mysterious veil.
Even though it was not his first time entering here, Hong Ming couldn't help but marvel every time he saw the moon and sun in the sky.
The moon and the sun seem to be really the same.
What Hong Ming entered into the Sun and Moon Gourd was still his spiritual consciousness, but this time Hong Ming brought in a small shovel.
This small shovel is also a magic weapon, specially prepared for elixirs and spiritual soil.
After sacrificing the magic weapon, Hong Ming carefully planted the elixir and seedlings into the gray spiritual soil.
After doing this, Hong Ming left Sun Moon Gourd.
One day in the outside world is one year in the sun and moon gourd, and to refine an elixir, it takes at least more than a hundred years of medicine, and each elixir requires more than one elixir, such as the elixir in the early stage of Qi training.
, in addition to a main medicine that is more than a hundred years old, it also requires ten beads of auxiliary medicine that are fifty or sixty years old. Only by mixing them together can the refining begin.
In addition, the flames and pill furnaces for refining the pills must be prepared.
These are all problems.
Fortunately, it was still early to refine the elixir, so Hong Ming was not in a hurry.
He takes elixirs every day to practice, refine the potency, and collect the elixirs in the Sun and Moon Gourd. Then Hong Ming still needs to understand the art of alchemy and spells.
The geomagnetic anode divine light is an extremely exquisite spell, but during the Qi training period, what Hong Ming can practice is the geomagnetic body shield.
Practicing this spell requires the monk to have an incredible degree of control over his own spiritual power. When performing it, the monk controls his own spiritual power to form fixed trajectories around his body and draw one hundred and eight geomagnetic talismans.
seal.
The practice of magic is very difficult.
Under normal circumstances, to cast a spell, the monk needs to use spiritual power to condense a fixed shape outside the body and draw a certain talisman in it. This talisman must be drawn in an instant, which is extremely difficult.
The number of talismans also represents the power of the spell.
But for most spells, only a dozen or so talismans need to be drawn.
For example, there are only eighteen talismans attached to the Hidden Breath Technique. And because of practicing the Turtle Breath Technique, the talisman seals of the Hidden Breath Technique are very easy to draw. Hong Ming was able to draw six of them instantly in just a few days.
, and after several years of hard work, I drew eighteen, so when I cast this spell, it was smooth and mysterious.
But this geomagnetic body shield actually requires one hundred and eight talismans to be perfected.
Hong Ming was shocked by the difficulty of this practice.
When Hong Ming started practicing, he became even more helpless.
The talisman of this geomagnetic shield is extremely obscure, and the degree of control over spiritual power is extremely delicate. It is more than ten times more difficult to master than the hidden breath technique. Hong Ming tried it for more than ten days in a row, but made no progress.
But Hong Ming did not give up.
This geomagnetic body shield is said to have the power of geomagnetism after successful cultivation, and its defensive power is astonishing. It can be greatly weakened by attacks from spells or magic weapons. The seniors in the foundation building period in the jade slips even said that if it is used
The cultivation of this spell is so smooth that almost no one can break the defense of this spell during the Qi training period.
With such a powerful spell, Hong Ming would naturally not give up.
In addition to cultivating this spell, Hong Ming focused most of his energy on the art of alchemy.
The Nine Flame Alchemy Technique purchased from the old man is indeed powerful. The old man did not lie. The basic part of this alchemy technique is extremely mysterious. The alchemy process is explained in great detail, and it also comes with more than ten Qi-training period pill recipes.
It has everything from the early stage of Qi training to the late stage of Qi training. In addition, this alchemy technique also comes with a powerful secretary, the Nine Flame Secret Technique.
This secret technique is also related to the art of alchemy.
Most alchemists can refine animal fire.
The beast fire of most monsters is stronger than the flames used by monks to directly activate spiritual power, and many beast fires also have some unique effects that can enhance the effect of alchemy.
There are even some alchemists who, by chance, can refine spiritual fire.
Spirit fire evolved from heaven and earth, contains the creation of heaven and earth, and is infinitely powerful. Refining spirit fire is of great help to alchemy. It can be said that as long as every alchemist obtains spirit fire, it means that he will definitely achieve great success in alchemy in the future.
This Nine Flame Alchemy Technique contains such secret techniques.
It's a pity that the Nine Flames alchemy technique is incomplete.
Even if the elixirs and elixir refining methods in the foundation-building stage are incomplete, the key secrets of refining animal fire and spiritual fire are also incomplete, which makes Hong Ming very depressed.
"But this is normal. If there is a secret technique for refining spiritual fire, it will not be obtained by casual cultivators, and the price will not be so low."
Hong Ming thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.
To put it simply, this alchemy technique is a basic alchemy technique that has been passed down. The Qi training period is very detailed.
If Hong Ming wants to practice this alchemy technique, he must first practice the spirit fire technique.
Only by cultivating this spiritual fire technique to a level where it is not weak can you start alchemy. Otherwise, if the flame intensity is not well controlled during alchemy, the alchemy will most likely fail.
It can be said that more than three achievements in the art of alchemy are the control of this flame.
Hong Ming is not in a hurry, there is still a long time.
The time for hard training always goes by quickly, especially since Hong Ming has a full schedule for training every day.
I meditated to refine the elixirs, practiced the geomagnetic shield, practiced the spirit fire technique, understood the art of alchemy, and looked after the elixirs in the sun and moon gourds, one after another. After practicing hard every day, I just felt exhausted.
Try your best.
Fortunately, there were no other things to disturb him, so Hong Ming enjoyed it.
At least Hong Ming can feel his progress every day.
During this hard training, another month passed.
Five spiritual powers have appeared in Hong Ming's Dantian, and he has completed half of the fourth level of Qi training, but this is not the biggest gain. During this period of time, Hong Ming took care of the Sun and Moon Gourd every day, and he gained new knowledge.
discovery.
Cultivating elixirs in the Sun and Moon Gourd is not unlimited.
If the elixir is too dense, it will wither and die. There should be about an inch between each other. As the age of the elixir increases, this distance will increase. When the elixir reaches five hundred years old, there will be three feet between them.
Within, other elixirs cannot grow.
In other words, there are not that many elixirs that can be grown in the approximately five or six acres of Sun Moon Gourd.
But the good news is that as more and more elixirs are planted, Hong Ming discovers that the sun and moon are shining more and more light in the sun and moon gourd. With the light of the sun and moon shining, the gray land is slowly expanding, and the area is slowly expanding.
Approximately half an acre was added.
(The acres here are roughly in acres, and the length and width are ten meters, which is equivalent to thirty feet. Don't argue.)
