Unfortunately, elixirs of this level are naturally not easy to refine.
Fang Zheng has been working hard for more than half a month.
His half-month is completely different from the ordinary Danshi's half-month.
Those alchemists probably have to spend more than fourteen days in half a month looking for medicine... Even within the sect, it is not that easy to gather enough heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Sometimes, you even need to go to the market to try your luck.
It's been a blessing to be able to practice two furnaces in half a month.
As long as he has enough money, two hours is enough for him to find the medicinal materials that he has refined dozens of times... And his previous trip to the outside world has allowed him to harvest a lot of medicines that are much more precious than pharmacies and vegetable markets.
Treasures from heaven and earth.
But now those plants have been planted on Jiumai Peak by Li Yun, becoming one of the sources of Jiumai Peak's aura.
He is reluctant to use those things when practicing, and Uncle Li will definitely try his best to dissuade him and beg him not to use them.
He planned to wait until the success rate was guaranteed, then use the spiritual energy liquid to refine the elixir, and then use those drugs... to refine it. He believed that the effect of the barrier-breaking elixir would be even better.
However, although the external conditions are much better than those of others, Fang Zheng's alchemy foundation is still far behind those monks who have been exposed to elixirs since the beginning of their training.
I have refined it dozens of times in succession, but the success rate is almost zero.
In fact, there is no need to be too anxious about this kind of thing.
The barrier-breaking pill is as difficult as if he had just graduated from elementary school and went to practice for the college entrance examination. It would be strange to succeed.
By constantly accumulating experience, constantly discovering true knowledge from failures, and then accumulating bit by bit, you only need to wait for a sudden inspiration, and you may be able to successfully refine an obstacle-breaking pill!
The level does not need to be too high. Anyway, as long as you succeed once, you will definitely succeed a second time, and then a third time...
For him, the elixirs he practiced before came from this. Now that the hidden nail is dead and no one is watching in the dark, he actually does not need to be too anxious. After all, refining elixirs is also equivalent to practicing, and his cultivation has not stagnated.
Not moving forward.
If it really continues to fail for a year and a half, it is unlikely that he will enter the realm of foundation building on his own.
When the time comes, wouldn't the Barrier-Breaking Pill be the icing on the cake?
Unfortunately, thinking of his conversation with Yun Zhiqing in the past few days made him have some urgent thoughts in his mind.
That day, Fang Zheng was practicing, and Yun Zhiqing suddenly barged in, and then said something that made him confused.
"Fang Zheng, do you want junior sister or not?"
Seeing Fang Zheng's confused look, she said in detail: "I want to find you a junior sister."
That tone was like a biological father telling his son, I plan to find a stepmother for you.
It's not appropriate for my mother to use that tone...
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he replied blankly: "Master, are you saying that you want to accept another disciple? Or is it a woman?!"
"Um."
Yun Zhiqing said: "Nine Meridians Peak is too deserted after all, only you and me..."
Fang Zheng: "Master, have you forgotten Uncle Li?!"
Yun Zhiqing added: "I mean there are only two of you and me as monks. Uncle Li is not a monk after all, and the strength gap between you and me is too big to discuss with each other, so I thought of finding a companion for you.
Son, you can discuss your cultivation with each other, which is better than following me like a nod. There are some things that you still need to discuss and understand on your own, otherwise, you will easily develop a sense of dependence."
"Why does it have to be a junior sister?"
Fang looked a little weird and said, "Master, do you have any reason?"
In fact, he has been thinking that in the future, when his cultivation level is high and he can leave the mountain... he will definitely adopt an orphan disciple, named Li Xiaoyao, and then create spells such as Shushan Sword Controlling Technique and Ten Thousand Sword Jue.
.
He will adopt two more junior sisters named Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru.
That was the beauty of Shushan in his imagination!
"Aren't there already two men on the mountain?"
Yun Zhiqing glared at Fang Zheng as if she was angry, and said, "I also want to find myself a companion who can talk to me on a daily basis, right? I can't speak, and if she is a disciple, she must respect me.
Even if I said something wrong, she wouldn't dare to laugh at me."
"What about the criteria for accepting disciples?!"
Yun Zhiqing thought for a while and said: "Well... you just look good, so I want to take you with me when the time comes."
She explained: "After all, I am not a person who is good at words. If my first and second disciples fight with each other all day long, I won't have to practice, so you have to be pleasing to your eyes... Of course
, the qualifications should not be too bad."
"Is there a trial ceremony in one and a half months?"
Fang Zheng hesitated and said, "Would it be a bit embarrassing if I go with you?!"
"Who are you throwing away?"
"I am the senior brother of Jiumai Peak...but now I only have the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm. As far as I know, the other nine peaks among the ten peaks of Shu Mountain, the one with the weakest cultivation level, must have the cultivation level of the late stage of Foundation Establishment."
He is a disciple of Yiyuan Peak, and his alchemy skills are advanced, so it doesn’t matter if his level is lower."
Fang Zheng sighed: "But now, I am not even able to build a foundation."
"Do you know what my cultivation level was five years ago?"
Yun Zhiqing seemed to be completely unfazed, "At that time, my cultivation level was not at the bottom among the ten peak masters of Shu Mountain, but in order to increase my knowledge, I also went to watch the trial ceremony at that time... I can't increase my knowledge.
It’s embarrassing, and you have a chalk flying sword. Although you are in the Qi refining stage, you are already comparable to ordinary foundation-building monks. Although your cultivation level is not high, you have a bright future, and others will not underestimate you."
As she said that, she seemed to remember something and whispered to herself: "Although I have broken through the solidification realm now, my foundation is not as good as those senior brothers and sisters who were my elders, so not to mention senior brothers, even I, the peak master
, we are also at the bottom, but what does it matter? We are here to recruit disciples, not to fight."
"Master, are you planning to strengthen the Nine Meridians Peak?!"
"The road has to be walked step by step. It's better to take on an apprentice to support him first, right?"
Fang Zheng was a disciple after all, and he could hear the determination in Yun Zhiqing's words.
Naturally, he did not refute...
He often chatted with Li Yun, and naturally knew that Jiu Mei Peak was once among the ten peaks of Shu Mountain, and only under Xuantian Peak, it had extremely abundant spiritual energy. However, because the previous peak master defected with his spiritual roots, Jiu Mei Peak had the largest spiritual vein.
decline.
Jiumai Peak has also been ranked at the bottom of the ten peaks of Shu Mountain. If it were not for the support of Master Xuanji, Yun Zhiqing was designated as the new peak master of Jiumai Peak and received the care and education of Xuantian Peak... It is impossible to say that Jiumai Peak would have been there so many years ago.
Has disappeared without a trace.
And this is also Yun Zhiqing's heartache.
She has been practicing hard for many years, just to revitalize the Nine Meridians Peak!
But revitalizing the Nine Meridians Peak does not require a high level of cultivation, it also requires disciples.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Yun Zhiqing wants to recruit disciples.
"If there is something I need to do, I will do my best. Master treats me well. If I can help with this matter, I will naturally help you!"
Fang Zheng let out a long sigh and cleared out the ashes from the alchemy furnace.
I prepared another batch of materials and threw them into the alchemy furnace.
If you have abundant spiritual energy, you don’t need to recuperate.
If you fail, just try again.
Anyway, he is full of energy, his cultivation has increased, and he has spent a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Although the elixir refining failed, the elixir energy still remains, and it is absorbed into the body together with the surrounding spiritual energy. The improvement in cultivation is naturally more than that of simple cultivation.
Even faster.
He has planned to take advantage of this period of time to increase his cultivation to the foundation-building stage. In this way, he will be able to take advantage of it!
As for whether Yun Zhiqing will neglect him after accepting a disciple.
Fang Zheng didn't feel jealous about this kind of thing... His master lived next door to him, and there was a board between them. Sometimes when he was awake, he could hear the movement on the other side when he turned over, and she was probably going to continue to live there in the future.
The one who is near the water and the tower gets the moon first, who am I afraid of competing for my favor?
etc……
By the way, why did Master specifically mention accepting female disciples?
Is she afraid that I will be jealous? In her eyes, am I such a stingy person?
Fang Zheng had a somewhat strange look on his face.
Master Xindao asked me to help him make a fortune, so it seems to me that he must help him select a few more junior sisters... No, he must help his master select a few more disciples.
