Chapter 87 The Path
When Chen Yuan left Lingyunfang City, he put on a bamboo hat to cover his face, and his clothes were no different from those of casual cultivators.
Although it was impossible for Huang to know his whereabouts in Lingyunfang City, it was not ruled out that Huang Linye sent people to guard outside the mountain gate. Chen Yuan wanted to ensure that everything was safe and would not reveal any flaws.
He used the technique of lightening his body and ran all the way without stopping.
Two days later, I saw the wall of clouds connecting the sky and the earth again.
Chen Yuan finally returned to the mountain gate after his identity was verified by the disciples guarding the entrance to the mountain gate.
He felt the rich spiritual energy that he had not seen for a long time, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, there is still nearly a year and a half before the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is opened.
The magical artifacts and talismans are already prepared. All we need to do is refine some soul-restoring pills and find out the news about Dongxu Mountain. Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan did not turn back to the cave, but took the flying boat and flew to Xiangguang Peak.
Refining the Spiritual Restoration Pill is difficult. It takes ten days to make one furnace, and the success rate of the pill is only 30%.
It would be better to collect all the elixirs early and start making elixirs.
And this matter still has to fall on Mo Jingchun.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan arrived at Xiangguang Peak and landed in front of Mo Jingchun Cave Mansion.
He took out his identity jade token, activated the cave's restrictions, transmitted a message inside, and then stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
After a while, the restricted light shield of the cave slowly melted away, and the stone door opened.
Mo Jingchun walked out quickly and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Chen, long time no see. How is your trip going?"
Chen Yuan bowed his hands and saluted:
"Everything went well. I would also like to thank Senior Brother Mo for the bronze medal he gave me. Fellow Daoist Nie is extremely skilled. He has repaired my magic weapon and restored its power."
"Haha!" Mo Jingchun laughed loudly, showing his arrogance, "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't matter. Mo got the talisman and took advantage of his junior brother, so naturally he has to show something..."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the cave and took their seats respectively.
Mo Jingchundong's house was extremely simple, with only a bare stone table and a few stone chairs.
Mo Jingchun said apologetically:
"I don't have spiritual tea, spiritual fruit or other things in my cave. I don't treat you well. Junior brother, please don't take offense."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly:
"It doesn't matter, we monks eat the wind and drink the dew, and obey the Qi and live without grains. Why do we need this thing?"
Mo Jingchun smiled and asked:
"When did junior brother come back?"
"I'll be back today."
"Oh? Junior brother came to look for me as soon as he returned to the sect, but something happened?"
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said:
"Senior brother Hui Yan, I want to refine a kind of elixir, and I need the Centennial Herb Purple Leaf Lotus as the main medicine. There are only a few plants in Lingyunfang City. I can't find them, so I have to return to the sect. I wonder if senior brother has a way?"
Mo Jingchun frowned:
"The hundred-year-old elixir in the sect is only produced from the elixir garden. The sect pays close attention to it. However, I haven't taken any elixirs for a long time, but I don't have any connections."
Chen Yuan's face showed disappointment:
"I'm just greedy. I wanted to refine more Soul Restoration Pills so that I could be more confident about my trip to Dongxu Mountain... Anyway, a bottle of Soul Restoration Pills should be enough."
A trace of surprise flashed in Mo Jingchun's eyes:
"Resurrection Pill? Junior brother can actually refine this kind of pill?"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly:
"I was lucky enough to buy the recipe for the Restoring Pill in Lingyunfang City and made a bottle of Restoring Pill. Senior brother, please take a look."
As he spoke, he touched the storage bag and took out a jade bottle. He raised his hand and sent it away. The jade bottle slowly flew to Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun grabbed the jade bottle, opened the jade stopper, poured out a spirit-restoring pill, and examined it carefully.
"It is indeed the Restoring Pill..."
Mo Jingchun murmured, put the Restoring Pill back into the jade bottle, and sent it back to Chen Yuan. He lowered his head slightly in contemplation.
Chen Yuan silently put away the jade bottle and waited for the next chapter.
The Restoring Pill had a great effect during the trip to Dongxu Mountain. He didn't believe that Mo Jingchun would not be tempted.
After a while, Mo Jingchun raised his head and said:
"Junior brother, what is the success rate of your refining the Spirit Resurrection Pill?"
Chen Yuan said frankly:
"Thirty percent."
Mo Jingchun said in surprise:
"Junior brother's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. The spirit-restoring elixir requires a hundred-year-old spirit grass as the main medicine, but it has a 30% success rate."
"What's the point of having a high elixir-making rate? Without the purple-leaf lotus, I can't make even a single rejuvenating elixir."
Mo Jingchun smiled:
"If I can find the Purple Leaf Lotus for me, after my junior brother refines the spirit-restoring pill, can you share some with me?"
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up:
"Since then, I have prepared the rest of the elixir, and I am just waiting for the Purple Leaf Lotus to start refining the elixir. As long as Senior Brother can find the Purple Leaf Lotus and refine the Spiritual Restoration Pill, I will share it equally with Senior Brother, how about that?"
Mo Jingchun nodded:
"Okay! It's settled then. Junior brother, go back home first. In three days, I will take Zi Ye Lian to find you."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said:
"Then I will wait for good news from senior brother."
…
Three days later, Mo Jingchun came to Chen Yuan's cave and took out six purple leaf lotus plants.
Chen Yuan immediately entered the Earth Fire Palace and started refining the elixir.
Two months later, he came to Xiangguang Peak and handed the nine Restoration Pills to Mo Jingchun, while keeping ten for himself.
When he refined the last pot of Restoring Spirit Pills, the success rate increased to 40%, and a total of nineteen Spirit Restoring Pills were refined.
Chen Yuan did not expect that after just refining ten furnaces of the Spiritual Restoration Pill, the success rate of the pill would increase by 10%.
"The Synopsis of Zhang Family's Alchemy" refers to the compound pill, which requires the use of hundred-year-old spirit grass as the main medicine, as a quasi-foundation pill, and it is extremely difficult to refine.
It is extremely good to have a 30% elixir-forming rate.
Only the top alchemists can achieve a 40% success rate, and there is great hope that they can reach the level of alchemy master.
After Chen Yuan refined the last furnace of Fuling Pill, he was very excited, but he calmed down after a moment.
It is extremely difficult for him to become an alchemy master.
Mo Jingchun is familiar with Yi Jin and has a wide network of contacts, but he can only get six purple-leaf lotuses.
And to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills, three or four different kinds of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs are needed.
The Alchemy Pavilion will not distribute hundred-year-old spiritual herbs to individual alchemists. Chen Yuan has no chance to practice and it is difficult for him to become an alchemy master.
Fortunately, he has Yujue in his hand, constantly attracting starlight to his body, and his spiritual consciousness continues to grow. He also asks Mo Jingchun to secretly collect spiritual herbs. Sooner or later, he will become an alchemy master.
But this method is too time-consuming, at least more than ten years.
And even if he becomes an alchemy master, he has no hope of building a foundation.
The sect would only give one foundation-building pill to the alchemy master, but Chen Yuan was a cultivator with five spiritual roots, and his aptitude was extremely poor. With one foundation-building pill, it was impossible for him to successfully build his foundation.
The only way was to try his best to collect spiritual herbs in Dongxu Mountain and exchange them for two more foundation-building pills.
Lingyun Sect did not treat its disciples harshly in this matter. After all, some of the disciples who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference were cultivators from cultivation families.
They were not qualified enough to get foundation-building pills from their families, and they could not enter the sect directly due to the rules of Lingyun Sect.
They could only enter the sect through the Ascension Conference and fight for a chance to build their foundation in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.
The foundation-building cultivators from cultivation families in the sect would naturally not treat them harshly, and even the casual cultivators who entered the sect would benefit from it.
As long as a certain number of spiritual herbs were found, they could be exchanged for foundation-building pills, and there was no upper limit.
Three hundred years ago, a disciple exchanged for five foundation-building pills before he successfully built his foundation, which caused a sensation.
This is Chen Yuan's only hope. If he still cannot build his foundation successfully, his path will end here.
I overestimated myself, wrote very slowly, and posted late. Sorry.
