Bai Ran gently picked up a pill with two fingers and put it in front of his eyes, with a smile on his concentrated face.
Finally, this desperate attempt was not in vain. With these "dust-falling pills", Quhun and his chances of forming pills will surely increase.
Bai Ran repackaged the elixir and carefully put the bottle back into the storage bag.
Now, Bai Ran wanted to find a place with spiritual energy and safety to quickly form a pill.
No matter Quhun or him, as long as one of them enters the Danjie stage, they will have a chance to fight against the pursuit of the Danjie monks.
However, forming a pill is not something that can be accomplished in a moment.
Except for those geniuses who cultivate immortality such as Tianlinggen, other monks need enough elixirs and time to break through the bottleneck.
The "Snow Spiritual Water" and "Heavenly Fire Liquid" he originally wanted to buy were the two spiritual substances that monks must take when forming elixirs.
If you don't use it, it doesn't mean that you can't form a pill, but the success rate of forming a pill is so low that it makes the immortal cultivator vomit blood.
Although no one has made official statistics, it is said that the rate of pill formation is far lower than one percent.
In addition to these two things, you can also take some other elixirs when forming an elixir. The more types there are, the greater the hope of forming an elixir.
It's just that it doesn't have such a significant impact as "Snow Spirit Water" and "Sky Fire Liquid".
Of course, like these two spiritual things, they are ineffective if taken repeatedly. After all, this is not Qi refining and meditation. It is best to take different elixirs in appropriate amounts, but taking too much may have the opposite effect.
But the funny thing is that other elixirs are far less effective than "Snow Spirit Water" and "Sky Fire Liquid", but they are even more difficult to find and rare.
Because most of them require one or even several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as raw materials before they can be prepared.
How can an ordinary monk do such a great thing!
At most, in addition to "Snow Spirit Water" and "Sky Fire Liquid", it would be extremely luxurious to configure one or two more.
Of course, this is not a big problem for Bai Ran.
Except for a few rare spiritual herbs that he really didn't have or had never heard of, the others had been matured in the Xiaohuan Mountain training ground over the years, and he had used them to prepare more than a dozen kinds of elixirs to assist in forming pills.
, placed safely in a storage bag on my body.
The most surprising thing is that these elixirs do not need to be refined by monks in advance. They only need to be prepared simply like ordinary medicines in the world.
And the prescriptions can be easily found in various classics.
This surprised Bai Ran for a long time at first, and he is still a little confused to this day.
The five dust-falling pills he got should be an auxiliary medicine needed by Tianhai monks when forming pills, so they are so rare!
But it doesn't mean that once you take these auxiliary elixirs, your elixir formation rate will be much higher than that of other monks.
Judging from the information Bai Ran checked, even with such an extravagant elixir-forming method as his, the success rate is at most 15% higher than when other monks form elixirs.
It’s finally a little stronger than when I didn’t take it. Of course, these are just Bai Ran’s own guesses!
In addition, the process of forming the elixir cannot be completed in ten days and a half.
According to various classics and the elixir formation experience mentioned by Li Huayuan, the entire elixir formation process will last three to five years.
The specific length depends on the person's qualifications.
During this period, it is taboo to feel overjoyed or sad. You should not fight with others, and you need to absorb a certain amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
Therefore, it was imperative for Bai Ran to find an island with a little aura to retreat and form elixirs.
With this thought in mind, Bai Ran took out another jade slip from his body. Inside the slip was a huge map of the sea centered on three large islands including Kuixing Island.
Bai Ran's mind sank in, and after a lot of effort, he finally determined his approximate location, and then searched the entire chart for small and medium-sized islands in remote places with labels.
After a meal, Bai Ran withdrew from the jade slip weaker than he thought.
Then after looking at the surrounding sea and the scorching sun in the sky, he narrowed his eyes slightly and adjusted his direction, then transformed his soul into a white light and disappeared into the sky.
Along the way, when Bai Ran encountered a desert island, he stopped temporarily to recover his magic power. When he encountered an island occupied by monks and people, he immediately avoided it and did not dare to stay for a while, for fear of leaving clues and being traced.
After changing several directions one after another, Bai Ran flew towards the place where he really wanted to go at high speed.
…
Two months later, Bai Ran and Qu Hun appeared over an extremely remote island.
This island is far less huge than Kuixing Island, but it is much larger than ordinary small islands, and can barely be squeezed into the list of medium-sized islands.
This is "Star Island", the destination of Bai Ran's long journey.
Except for a small number of mortals, most of the people on the island are low-level immortal cultivators who have not established foundations. There is no such thing as an island owner. It is a completely free place to come and go at will.
The reason why this island has this name is because there is a very strange low-level monster "sea monkey" in the nearby sea area.
This kind of monster looks just like an ordinary ape. The only difference is that this kind of monster can not only use the low-level magic "water arrow", but also has a very high intelligence.
Adults are almost as smart as seven- or eight-year-old children, and can dive into the deep sea to catch fish for food. In fact, they are the beloved ones of some cultivators and use them as handymen in caves.
Although the "Sea Monkey" is listed as a monster, it can actually be easily defeated and captured by a monk at the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, some small boats from various places dock here every year and hire low-level monks to capture it.
Shop some and sell them.
Some small merchants simply set up a joint venture on the island and established long-term stores. They purchased live "sea monkeys" at low prices year after year. After a certain period of time, sea ships arrived, and then shipped them in large quantities.
Walk.
As a result, this island naturally gathered some low-level immortal cultivators who were trying to earn spiritual stones.
But after the formation of the magic circle, other casual cultivators quickly came here to live permanently, all because "Star Island" actually had a huge spiritual vein.
Although the quality of the spiritual veins is really not that good, the advantage is that the spiritual veins are large and wide enough that low-level immortal cultivators can practice almost anywhere on the island.
As for the so-called spiritual eyes and several places with slightly dense spiritual energy, they are not very different from other places on the island, and no high-level immortal cultivators will fight over them.
A remote island with such thin spiritual energy and only a few specialties of sea monkeys is certainly not in the eyes of those big forces. It is completely a world of free and indulgent low-level monks.
Although there are occasional monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Pill Formation Stage who come to this island, most of them are just passers-by.
It happens to be the perfect place for Bai Ran to hide and form pills!
…
Two days later, Bai Ran stood in a barren mountain in a corner of the island, looking at his newly opened temporary cave in front of him, feeling extremely satisfied.
Apart from a simple medicine garden and two secret chambers, Xindong Mansion has no other complicated structures.
Of course, Bai Ran used a set of formation equipment and set up an ordinary concealment formation to seal the entrance of the cave, and carefully released the two "Blood Jade Spider" spiders from the leather bag specially used to hold spiritual beasts.
Let them guard the gate of the cave.
After these years of training, these two white spiders have grown to the size of heads, and have been promoted two levels in a row. They have reached the level of an upper level and have no problem dealing with ordinary monks in the Qi Refining Stage. They are also white.
However, it is the only strange insect that I brought with me from Xiaohuandao Cave.
As for the other strange insects and monsters, they still remain in the True Cave Mansion on Xiaohuan Island.
Bai Ran guessed that if those guys who had some conspiracy wanted to kill him or avenge the monk named Gu, they would definitely find his cave on Xiaohuan Island.
Although there are three large formations blocking the outside of the real and fake caves, they must not be able to withstand the strong attack of the monks in the alchemy stage for a long time.
There is no need to ask about the real cave, it will definitely be exposed.
As for the fake cave, according to Bai Ran's calculation, the chances of being discovered or not being discovered should be about 50-50!
Because the tunnel leading to the True Cave Mansion was not covered by some easily detectable formation, but by using the mechanism technique of the mortal world, and cleverly blocked the entrance of the tunnel with a stone chair carved from a huge stone.
If the visitor were just searching on the mountain peak where the fake cave was located, Bai Ran was confident that the other party would not notice anything strange.
But if the person who comes here is a guy with a delicate mind and likes to get to the bottom of things, it’s hard to say!
After all, the unique aura of those strange insects in another mountain peak cannot be concealed by the powerful spiritual consciousness of the monks in the pill formation stage.
In this way, although Bai Ran was a little reluctant to let go of those strange insects that could never be tamed, he could only resign himself to his fate.
Of course, if they were not discovered and had not been fed for five or six years, those poisonous insects would probably not die due to their toughness. There are precedents for them to survive without food for several years!
With such indifferent thoughts, Bai Ran and Qu Hun walked into a secret room respectively.
