Chapter 318 320 Refining Pills
Rong Xianxian returned to the off-road RV and transferred the coal in the sachet space back to the foggy space. While Cui Lie and his companions were mining, they also hunted several ordinary monsters that came to attack. These monsters were all level one or lower level monsters. They would neither drop treasures nor had many useful materials on their bodies. Their meat was tough and had a bad taste. In the past, Rong Xianxian and his companions focused on getting on with their journey and generally disdained to pay attention to these monsters.
But now, because the meat of these monsters is edible, the Xitang Security Zone is storing large quantities of monster meat as food for the winter. Rong Xianxian is also very interested in the cheap weapons here, and naturally will not miss such a good opportunity to make money. Rong Xianxian and his team will catch all the monsters, big and small, they encounter along the way, which directly increases the safety factor of the various civilian teams active nearby. Of course, their harvest is also much less than before.
Mining coal, collecting resources, fighting monsters to make money, recycling discarded weapons, and purchasing finished weapons in large quantities, Rong Xianxian and his team have been busy these days in Xitang.
Although there is a restrictive policy in the safe zone for purchasing finished weapons, in fact, this policy is just a decoration. If you want to buy weapons in large quantities, you can just hire a few more people to buy them.
In addition to fighting monsters to earn money to buy weapons, Rong Xianxian also sold a batch of food and a large amount of daily necessities collected near Taijing. The domain stone fog space can be used for planting, so there will be as much food as needed in the future. However, it is likely that such cheap weapons will not be available in the future.
When they set out again, the open space in Rong Xianxian's misty space was filled with stainless steel shelves as high as four or five meters. The shelves were filled with cold weapons that gleamed with cold light. A small half were finished weapons, and a large part were recycled discarded weapons. The number of these weapons could probably fill up a truck. I wonder if Wen Qingming would be heartbroken if he saw the situation here.
Anyway, Rong Xianxian was in a very good mood looking at the full box of weapons. Weapons, like food, are hard currency at all times.
As social order is restored, food prices will gradually stabilize, but the prices of weapons have generally remained high, so these all cost money.
During the journey, in addition to Ye Lanxin who would occasionally come over to eat, Zhang Xiaoxiao also appeared in front of Rong Xianxian. Her belly was obviously pregnant, and she looked to be about four or five months pregnant. This meant that she had conceived the baby in Chongzhou. Relying on her big belly, no one dared to stop her. Zhang Xiaoxiao ran to Rong Xianxian to show off. Rong Xianxian calmly told her many cases of fetal stillbirth due to bumpy and fatigue, ruptured amniotic sac, and death from amniotic fluid embolism of the mother. When she stopped in the Wuling safety zone, Zhang Xiaoxiao refused to continue heading north.
Because Ye Lanxin and her gang had been following Rong Xianxian's convoy closely, even though Rong Xianxian's group had fewer cars and people, no one came forward to provoke them. Rong Xianxian was happy to have some peace and quiet, so she accepted Ye Lanxin as a neighbor.
Wuling is a mountainous area. After the great changes in heaven and earth, many unfamiliar areas appeared inside this mountainous area. These areas are full of tall trees and deep forests, with complex environments and difficult roads, which greatly slowed down the convoy's progress.
But for Rong Xianxian, it was very easy to find spiritual plants and herbs in these unfamiliar areas. The little bird Aoao was particularly excited here and found many different varieties of spiritual fruits for Xuanxuan. The remaining seeds of the spiritual fruits were planted by Rong Xianxian in the foggy space.
The pair of wild ducks in the foggy space have hatched more than a dozen little wild ducks. They have adapted well to the new environment and have laid many eggs, enough for Rong Xianxian to secretly give Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan a snack.
Rong Xianxian was afraid that wild ducks would destroy the medicinal herbs planted in the foggy space, so she spent a lot of time enclosing the medicinal fields.
Rong Xianxian was flipping through the handbook that recorded important events at the beginning of her rebirth. There were only the last two pages left in the handbook. The last page recorded the time when the mother and son died. The penultimate page, which was the page Rong Xianxian was flipping through now, recorded the time when the temperature dropped sharply.
Rong Xianxian didn't remember the exact date, she only knew it was in November, more than half a year after the end of the world. She calculated with her fingers that the temperature would drop sharply soon.
At the beginning of the sudden drop in temperature, there was hail for two days, and then heavy snow fell. The roads were blocked by ice and snow, making it difficult for vehicles to travel. It was freezing cold outside, and humans huddled in safe areas, hibernating like animals and did not come out.
At that time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air increased significantly, which was just right for practicing.
Rong Xianxian's realm has reached the middle and late stage of Qiqiao Realm. She can try to draw the natural energy between heaven and earth into her body. However, the "True Spirit Sutra" reminds her that drawing the natural energy between heaven and earth into her body is very difficult. Any mistake may result in the risk of death. She must be fully prepared to prevent any accidents.
Rong Xianxian's alchemy skills are now considered entry-level. She plans to find time to refine the Tuomai Pills. It's not that she is in a hurry to use it, but she found that the spiritual energy in the Golden Light Fruit began to dissipate.
Even though her chances of refining Tuomai Pills are not high now, it is better than wasting the Golden Light Fruit.
You also need to prepare a lot of pills to strengthen your body and replenish your vitality, as well as pills to heal your injuries and prolong your life.
The step of drawing natural energy into the body is very important, and will have a significant impact on the individual's combat power in the later stage. It is also possible to break through the Qiqiao realm without drawing natural energy between heaven and earth into the body, but there will be a huge gap in actual combat power between the two.
Thinking of the mutant beast that can release lightning power instantly, Rong Xianxian is very much looking forward to being able to draw the natural energy of heaven and earth into her body. However, the natural energy between heaven and earth is everywhere, but it is impossible to capture it. How can she introduce the natural energy dissipated between heaven and earth into her body?
Rong Xianxian repeatedly read and studied the records in the "True Spirit Sutra", but still gained nothing. That part was all about how to refine the energy entering the body, and did not mention at all how to capture it. What was introduced into the body through cultivation methods was spiritual energy, not natural energy!
Could it be that the concentration of natural energy is not high enough under normal circumstances? Should she try to draw a lightning during a thunderstorm?
Thinking of this, Rong Xianxian immediately imagined a scene of being struck by lightning in her mind, with an afro, a charred body, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma of meat. Well, if she failed, it would be too tragic.
After much thought, Rong Xianxian decided to try to induct the wind first. There are many windy vents on the mountain tops where the wind is strong, so it would be convenient and labor-saving to use local materials.
Unfortunately, Rong Xianxian tried again and again, but apart from being blown dizzy and having her hair messed up, she didn’t even touch the edge of the wind energy.
At night, beside the fire, Rong Xianxian concentrated her mind and regulated her breathing, using her spiritual sense to sense the flames beside her. But apart from feeling a burst of warmness, nothing else happened.
