Breaking away from Xia Xingyuan's control, the red-white true fire was suspended in the air, and the small sword inside became more dazzling as the true fire rose, as if showing off his power, making Xia Xingyuan's old face look a little pale.
"Jian Xinyan? He resisted so fiercely, and he has spiritual intelligence? It's really amazing." Xia Xingyuan's expression became more and more obsessed, but he no longer dared to touch Shen Lang's true fire easily, as if he was a little afraid.
At this time, Shen Lang also came to his senses, quickly put away his real fire, and said with a smile: "It's nothing special about being smart or not, it's just ordinary real fire, no big deal."
"You know nothing," Xia Xingyuan said angrily.
"True fire was created by the heaven and earth. Isn't it normal to have a little spirituality? My soul-beating stick still has spirituality. In order to make this stick recognize its owner, I spent several hours refining it with real fire.
It surrendered." Shen Lang shook the soul-beating stick in his hand, as if he wanted to change the subject.
"You also said that it is only spirituality, not spiritual intelligence." Xia Xingyuan said: "If you just had a little spirituality, with my cultivation level, would I not be able to control your true fire just now?"
Knowing that Xia Xingyuan seemed to have nothing to do with his true fire, Shen Lang secretly called it a fluke and gradually became more courageous. He couldn't help but have a lot of curiosity, "What is spirituality and what is spiritual wisdom?"
"Spirituality is like a vague instinct. For example, a spiritual weapon has been nurtured by a strong man for hundreds of years. Even if the strong man dies, after hundreds of years of fighting, the spiritual weapon has already gained its own arrogance.
and instinct, so they generally refuse to recognize their master easily. They may even resist the next master, which is like the soul-beating stick in your hand." Xia Xingyuan muttered: "But spirituality is very vague after all, and its ideology can even lead to the death of a newborn child.
It's not as good, so the level of resistance won't be too fierce. Generally, the spiritual weapon can be subdued with a few tricks."
"And spiritual intelligence is much stronger. In short, it means wisdom, self-awareness, and thoughts." Xia Xingyuan's expression became a little serious.
"Having wisdom? Isn't that like a human being?" Shen Lang was dumbfounded, even a little scared. After all, the thought of having another soul inside his body always made people shudder.
"Yes! Just like a human being." Xia Xingyuan said: "But you don't have to worry. Since the real fire recognizes you as its master, it is yours and no one else can take it away. If you die, the real fire will disappear.
It's just like when you marry a daughter-in-law, she's very loyal. Your daughter-in-law is your daughter-in-law, and no one else can take her away from you, even if someone uses special methods to take her away..."
"That guy will definitely be stabbed to death with a dagger on the bed." Shen Lang took over.
"Um... I'm not being rude. If I forcibly fuse the true fire with spiritual intelligence, there will definitely be backlash." Xia Xingyuan looked at Shen Lang and sighed helplessly: "I don't know how many generations of cultivators you have.
The blessing that comes is that the true fire with spiritual intelligence can recognize its owner! Do you know that whether it is a magical weapon or a magical object like true fire, if you can possess spiritual intelligence, it will at least be controlled by the aura of heaven and earth.
An existence that has been nurtured for thousands of years!”
Shen Lang was secretly shocked, but more doubts arose in his heart. Thousands of years? As far as he knew, even the monks with long life spans, even the Dongxu Realm monks who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, only had a life span of five hundred years.
That's all! What's more, his true fire is innate. According to logic, he should be the same age as Shen Lang, that is, only twenty years after his birth. How could he have spiritual intelligence?
Suddenly, Shen Lang thought of the small sword that was fused with the real fire. The sword had no form, just like a special energy. It had existed in a forbidden place in the Immortal and Demonic Forest for an unknown number of years...
Could it be that it is not the real fire that possesses spiritual intelligence, but the sword? Moreover, Shen Lang still remembers that the last time he explored the Fairy and Demonic Forest, the small sword indeed seemed to possess wisdom, guiding him several times, making
He easily found a lot of spiritual herbs and got a soul-beating stick.
However, these things were too weird. Shen Lang kept the secret tightly in his heart, but did not dare to ask Xia Xingyuan any more questions. After all, the guy just wanted to steal his true fire.
Seeing Shen Lang's cautious expression like a frightened little sparrow, Xia Xingyuan was quite embarrassed and said with a smile: "Actually, I really don't intend to steal your popularity, I just want to borrow it from those old guys.
I want to show my face in front of this guy. Besides, the three-year alchemy conference is coming soon, and I also want to show my face."
Shen Lang ignored this guy at all and was silent for a moment before saying: "You must keep this really hot matter a secret and not tell anyone."
"Well, you are too weak now. It's always better to keep a low profile. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone this secret." Xia Xingyuan promised, patting his chest.
Shen Lang was secretly surprised, thinking when did Xia Xingyuan become so easy to talk to? However, he did not notice that Xia Xingyuan said that he would not tell outsiders, not that he would not tell...
"However, I will help you keep the secret, and you will help me refine elixirs in the future." Xia Xingyuan continued.
"Where's the reward?" Shen Lang did not agree directly.
"I helped you this time, and now I'm helping you keep a secret. Are you going to give me a reward?" Xia Xingyuan puffed his beard and stared.
"Who asked you to rob me of my elixir fire just now? That little bit of kindness has offset it." Shen Lang's small eyes rolled, "If you don't help me keep the secret, then I will tell you that you just went back on your word and robbed me of my real fire."
Just poke him out and see if you can afford to throw this person away."
"Hey, you bastard!" Xia Xingyuan gasped in anger. Although he had always been very casual in the past and didn't care much about what ordinary people thought of him, he was a little worried that the sword shopkeeper would hear about this embarrassing incident.
..If this is the case, how can he behave in front of the sword shopkeeper in the future? How can he still be laughed to death by that guy?
"Tell me! What do you want in return?" After thinking for a long time, Xia Xingyuan finally chose to give in.
"First of all, I want a second-grade elixir, the elixir recipe of Jinyang Dan." Shen Lang put forward the first condition.
"What do you want that thing for? Jinyang Dan is a pure Yang elixir, and its effect is so overbearing that even monks who practice Yang-attributed skills would not dare to take it easily." Xia Xingyuan frowned slightly;
I feel like the little monk in front of me is becoming increasingly unclear.
"I definitely have my uses." Shen Lang did not explain.
In fact, the main reason why Shen Lang wanted this elixir was for cultivation.
Others need to meditate tirelessly every day to practice. In order to ensure the stability of their realm, they dare to take a pill every three to five months. But Shen Lang's Pure Yang Immortal Art is extremely domineering, and there is no such concern at all. According to Shen Lang
Lang's original assumption was that as long as he had enough elixirs, he would be able to reach the True Spirit Realm again in a short time, and it would not be difficult to even reach the Golden elixir realm.
However, after Shen Lang took the spiritual liquid of Longyang Grass several times, Shen Lang gradually discovered a drawback. That is, if the same elixir is taken for a short period of time, the body will develop resistance to the medicine, and the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly weakened!
Now Shen Lang has taken no less than twenty drops of Longyangcao's spiritual liquid twice before and after. Compared with before, the efficacy of the medicine has been several times worse. If he continues to take Longyangcao's spiritual liquid, the cost will become higher and higher.
The higher the level, the smaller the rewards, so he wanted to refine Jinyang Dan to assist his practice.
"It's just a second-grade elixir recipe, I can give it to you." Xia Xingyuan agreed to this condition.
"Besides..." Shen Lang clasped his fingers and said seriously: "In the future, every time I refine an elixir, after deducting the cost, you should give me half of the reward. You don't have to give me the spirit stone.
The same goes for my equivalent spiritual herbs."
This time, Shen Lang's calculation was shrewd. Having an elixir but no spiritual herbs is just empty talk. If he gets an elixir in the Dan Pavilion in the future and has a lot of spiritual herbs to use, wouldn't his cultivation level be so good?
Whooshing up? This small day is much more comfortable than risking collecting spiritual grass in the fairy forest.
"I said, are you daydreaming? Do you think refining elixirs are just making clay pills?" Xia Xingyuan looked at Shen Lang's drooling idiot look and couldn't help but mocked: "Even though your soul power is good, you can't make elixirs."
After all, it is a technical job. You are so impatient. If you can learn a little bit and refine the first pill in three months, it is considered good. How many spiritual stones and spiritual grass can you make from me? "
"Just tell me whether you agree to these two conditions?" Shen Lang didn't bother to explain to him.
"Promise, this condition is nothing." Xia Xingyuan said.
"Okay, let's go to the Dan Pavilion!" Shen Lang was a little excited, looking forward to the future of stealing medicine and pills... Uh, no! It's an upright life of taking spiritual herbs.
"Why are you so anxious?" Xia Xingyuan showed a rare serious look, "Before you make the alchemy, I need to do a formal test to see what your alchemy talent is."
