Chapter Twenty-Five: Two Years
Two days later, Yu Xiao returned to the Chiyuan Mountains without encountering any trouble. The experience of leaving the sect for the first time was not bad.
On the way back to Night King Peak, he happened to bump into Ma Wenliang, Wei Kang and Yang Shiping who were coming from Luoxia Peak. They were talking and laughing, their faces were full of envy, and they didn't know what happy things they had encountered.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, it's been a long time. Are you back from doing something?" Ma Wenliang has obviously seen the transmission talisman left by Yu Xiao. He has been out of the sect for more than half a month. Although the time is not long, if you calculate it carefully, they have already seen it.
I haven't seen him for two months.
"Yes, it's done." Yu Xiao nodded and asked: "Looking at the appearance of the three fellow Taoists, they must have drank some fairy wine that is more wonderful than narcissus nectar."
"No, no!" Wei Kang shook his head and explained mysteriously: "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day? Is something terrible going to happen to Fuguang Sect?" Yu Xiao held his chin in thought, but he couldn't gain anything after thinking about it.
At this time, Yang Shiping took the words and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Yu, you have either been in retreat or out for the past two months, so the news is naturally relatively limited. Today is the foundation building ceremony of our senior sister Luo Hua of Luoxia Peak, but it is a pity that you are already here
It’s too late, the Foundation Building Ceremony has ended, Daoyou Yu may not have the chance to witness the grace of Senior Sister Luo Hua.”
"Oh, the Foundation Building Ceremony, what did I think it was about?" Yu Xiao shook his head nonchalantly, obviously not interested at all in what they were talking about, Senior Sister Luo Hua, and even had no impression at all.
After all, there were so many disciples in the Fuguang Sect, and there were also Foundation Establishment disciples on top of the entrance. He rarely walked around the sect, and it was even less likely that he would inquire about Senior Sister Luo Hua.
The three of them, Ma Wenliang, were completely different. They seemed to be still immersed in the end of the foundation building ceremony. They invited together: "Fellow Daoist Yu, although you don't have the opportunity to witness it with your own eyes, you can listen to us talk about today's wonderful scene. Why don't we go for a drink together?"
How about we drink and talk in the cave of Yi Jushi?"
"Well, let's forget it. I just returned to the sect and I still have a lot of things to deal with. I don't know if there are any powerful monsters causing trouble in Yewang Peak during this period." Yu Xiao refused.
"Okay, let's talk another day!" Ma Wenliang nodded without forcing it, and the three of them left together.
Returning to Night King Peak, Yu Xiao inspected the surrounding mountains. Everything was as usual, and he soon started practicing.
On this day, he was sitting cross-legged in the cave, holding a crystal bottle the size of a baby's fist in his hand. This was exactly the spirit storage bottle that Elder Zhong gave him when he went to the Alchemy Academy a year ago.
As early as half a year ago, he filled this spirit storage bottle with magic power, and it has been silent in his storage bag since then.
Now that one year has passed and Elder Zhong's agreed date has arrived, he naturally does not dare to disobey an elder's decision, thinking that he has to go to the Alchemy Academy.
In fact, he had studied the spirit storage bottle a long time ago. There was really nothing special about it. Apart from being able to store the injected mana, it had no other uses. He was just curious about what Elder Zhong used his mana to do.
Arriving at the Luoxia Peak Alchemy Academy, Yu Xiao explained his purpose. A disciple pointed him to the second-story attic in the depths and motioned him to go there to find Elder Zhong.
Not long after walking, Yu Xiao saw Elder Zhong again in front of a Qingshui loft.
But at this time, Elder Zhong seemed to have something going on. A woman in green clothes was half-kneeling on the ground not far from him, her head lowered, her face invisible, only her back.
"Luo Hua, I will not refine the corpse-returning elixir for you unless your master Zixu comes to me in person, or the leader of Luoxia Peak speaks." Elder Zhong calmly studied the elixir in front of him.
Pu, he never raised his head to look at the kneeling woman in front of him from beginning to end.
"Well, she is Senior Sister Luo Hua?" Yu Xiao stood not far away, looking at the delicate back, and was very curious in her heart. What kind of pill is the Corpse Return Pill? It can actually make a person who has just completed the Foundation Establishment
The disciple who entered the palace came to ask Elder Zhong to refine it, but Elder Zhong didn't like her at all.
Perhaps Elder Zhong noticed Yu Xiao. He finally raised his head, glanced at Luo Hua, and then said slowly: "Is the spirit storage bottle full?"
Yu Xiao knew that Elder Zhong was speaking to him, so he hurried forward and handed over the spirit storage bottle: "As I said to the elder, it has been filled."
"Yes, you did a good job." Elder Zhong nodded and replied with great satisfaction: "Tell me what reward you want."
He is not short of pills now, let alone spiritual stones. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiao suddenly thought of something and replied in a deep voice: "Disciple boldly asks the elder for a life-fixing pill."
Ever since hearing Wei Kang's words, Yu Xiao had no idea whether he could successfully build a foundation in the future. Although the Life-fixing Pill could not help him build a foundation, it could increase his life span by thirty years.
For monks in the Qi Refining Stage, the length of life will directly determine the number of times the monk attacks the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This kind of elixir may be relatively rare for casual cultivators in the outside world, but in Fuguang Sect, Master Zixu can take it out to reward his disciples at will, which shows that it is not uncommon.
Making such a request is not only reasonable and reasonable, but will not make Elder Zhong feel that it is too much.
As expected, Elder Zhong didn't even hesitate for a moment, he took out a small bottle and threw it to him, which contained a life-fixing pill.
"Thank you, elder. Disciple, please leave!" Yu Xiao happily accepted the elixir and left without stopping. As for whether Senior Sister Luo Hua asked for the elixir in the future, it was beyond his control.
…
There is no cold or heat in the fairy family. Winter goes and spring comes again. Time flies so fast that two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Night King Peak, Yu Xiao's cave, after two years of expansion, he has doubled the size of his residence and added some decorations, making it look unique.
Today, the aura on his body is much richer than two years ago. As early as six months ago, he had broken through the fifth level of Qi Refining, and was one step closer to the threshold required to become a disciple of the seventh level of Qi Refining.
This is his ninth year in the Fuguang Sect and his third year since he became a disciple of Shou Shan.
Just as Ma Wenliang said, not many people are willing to do such chores as mountain guarding disciples. With just a little talk, those disciples who were on duty gave up the idea of rotation, and Yu Xiao easily continued to be re-elected, in one breath
Worked till now.
At this moment, his consciousness was in the Immortal Mansion on the Clouds.
The spiritual fields where Ji Ling grass was originally planted are still planted with Ji Ling grass, but after Yu Xiao broke through the fifth level of Qi refining, these Ji Ling grass were changed several times, and now it is the sixth batch.
Because he has already started trying to refine the Qi Qi Pill, which is a process that requires continuous accumulation of experience and lessons learned from failures. Many people may be deterred from starting.
In fact, the early investment was a bottomless pit. If it were not for the support of Yunshangxianfu, Yu Xiao would not be able to persist.
He harvests about 100 Ji Ling grass each time, with a total of more than 500 plants in the five crops.
Refining a furnace of Ji Qi Pill requires about five to six Ji Ling Grass, and usually produces about ten finished pills.
Before refining the Qi Qi Pill, he had carefully studied the content of the "Six Arts Miscellaneous Book" about alchemy. Even so, when he tried, he still failed and almost had a mental breakdown.
Because the refining process requires careful control at every step, if you are not careful you will fail.
He tried to refine a hundred furnaces of Qi Absorbing Pills in total. The first thirty furnaces all failed without exception. From the second furnace, he gradually improved. In the middle thirty furnaces, the failure rate was still much higher than the success rate. Moreover, even if he succeeded,
, the quality of Ji Qi Dan is also very average.
In the thirty furnaces that followed, Yu Xiao had mastered every detail of the heat and timing, greatly improving the success rate of alchemy.
Now, when he refines the Qi Pill, he will only have a failure rate of at most one out of ten furnaces, and this is only when he is distracted or interfered with, otherwise it is impossible to fail.
If the probability of failure is too high, it only means that you have not practiced enough and you have learned too few experiences and lessons.
Refining alchemy is like walking on different dark roads without lights and full of pitfalls. Jiqi Dan is just one of them. In a hundred attempts, he visited every corner of this road and saw that
Get past all the potholes and traps and know how to avoid and deal with them.
When he walked this road over and over again, over time, he could complete it with his eyes closed.
Even if something unexpected happens, he can handle it accordingly based on past experience and lessons.
Otherwise, it can be said that older alchemists are often more likely to refine complex elixirs. This is all the experience accumulated through continuous trials.
