Chapter 159 You Xing: Absolutely Impossible (asking for monthly ticket)
Soul!
For Chu Ning now, it is still too illusory.
But this time, with the help of the soul-cleansing liquid, he gained a deeper understanding of his soul.
The spirit and soul are not as simple as the strengthening of the soul as the cultivators believe.
He still couldn't fully explain the soul, but he had a hunch that the fusion of the two souls at this moment would be of great help to his future path to the Nascent Soul stage.
Perhaps, only those Nascent Soul experts can truly understand what the soul represents.
The soul of the original body finally chose to merge with him in order to thank him for what he had done while occupying this body.
Thank him for taking care of my old aunt.
From the moment his two souls merged, he was no longer just a time traveler, but had truly integrated into this world.
He is still Chu Ning.
But he is not the original Chu Ning.
Chu Ning opened his eyes with a calm look.
"Why do I feel like you have suddenly had an epiphany? For a moment, your eyes looked a bit like the old Taoist priest at Mount Sanqing."
Lao Hei's voice rang in Chu Ning's mind. As early as half a month ago, when Chu Ning's two souls merged, he felt relieved.
"Yeah?"
“It’s not like that now.”
Chu Ning: ...
"I didn't expect that a soul fusion would take a month. I have to speed up. First, separate a strand of the soul, and then refine the foundation-building pill."
Stepping out of the cave, Chu Ning arrived in front of a small hill, or to be more precise, a small mound of earth.
Compared to a month ago, the small mound has now grown to the height of a fingernail.
This height is not low compared to the growth rate of a normal mountain, but the key point is that normal mountains are not so short. If the mountain continues to grow at this speed, I will not be able to wait even if I have tens of thousands of years to live.
There is a method of separating the soul and spirit in the Yangshan chapter. Chu Ning sat cross-legged according to this method, constantly changing the hand seals with his hands, concentrating his consciousness on this small mound of earth.
“The soul nourishes the mountain, and the mountain shapes the soul.”
When the hand seal was formed, Chu Ning let out a light cry, and his entire complexion turned blood red, with veins on his face bulging, as if something was about to be peeled off from his body.
Lao Hei was holding a jade bottle at the side. When he saw Chu Ning's expression, he quickly turned the jade bottle downwards, and three drops of soul-cleansing liquid fell on Chu Ning's head.
After the soul-cleansing liquid entered his body, Chu Ning's skin slowly returned to normal. The next moment, his whole body trembled slightly and his face instantly turned pale.
But there was a light in Chu Ning's eyes because his soul was successfully separated.
A wisp of spiritual soul entered the small hill in front of him.
He could clearly feel that the small hill was absorbing the energy of the earth's veins and could feel the breath of the small hill.
Mountains are no longer dead things.
You can even feel the joy of the mountains.
The first step in mountain conservation has finally been successful.
There was also joy on Chu Ning's face, and as his soul and spirit were successfully separated, the green mountain in his dantian trembled.
The green mountains trembled, and a new skill appeared in Chu Ning's mind.
Mountain Moving Seal.
This seal requires nurturing mountains.
And Chu Ning just happened to successfully raise the mountains.
Mountain Moving Seal: Move mountains to attack the enemy. The stronger the mountain, the stronger the power.
Chu Ning glanced at the fist-sized mound in front of him.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
Carrying this small pile of dirt to fight the enemy, isn't the result the same as hitting someone in the heart with your little fist?
Fortunately, this Mountain Moving Seal can not only move one’s own mountain, but also other people’s mountains.
If you just move another mountain, there will be no bonus of mountain power.
"Lao Hei, I'll leave this mountain to you. I'm going to go make the elixir."
It takes a month to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Chu Ning promised Qu Zhongshu that he would hand over the pill in three months, so the time is already a bit tight.
There were several alchemy furnaces in his storage bag. When he came down from Wenjin Mountain, he packed up all the alchemy furnaces in his master's cave and took them away.
The only pity is the second-level earth fire. Although he wants to take it away, he is not strong enough to do so.
ignition.
Warm furnace.
Add medicinal materials and start making the elixir.
…
While Chu Ning was concentrating on refining the elixir, Qu Zhongshu, who was sitting on Hongri Peak, looked at the flying boat flying overhead with his eyes fixed.
This is Junior Sister Yang's flying boat. Could it be that the alchemist Junior Sister Yang invited has arrived? With a guess in mind, Qu Zhongshu decided to go and see who the alchemist Junior Sister Yang invited was, who could make Junior Sister Yang so confident.
The next moment, Qu Zhongshu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Peach Blossom Peak.
Yang Qiaoying controlled the flying boat to land. In addition to her, a young man also walked out of the flying boat.
"Youxing, this is my mountain."
"Sun Moon Mountain is indeed a blessed place."
You Xing praised sincerely, saying that he came to Xiyue Sect this time on the orders of his master.
The master and Senior Yang were old acquaintances. He didn't know what Senior Yang had talked to the master. The master just asked him to follow Senior Yang to Xiyue Sect. It was on the flying boat that he knew what Senior Yang needed him to do.
Refining foundation-building pills.
However, You Xing was still a little confused. With Senior Yang's strength and the power of Xiyue Sect, it would not be difficult to find an alchemist to refine the foundation-building pill. Logically speaking, there was no need to travel thousands of miles to find a master.
"Junior Sister Yang, is this the alchemist you found?"
Qu Zhongshu appeared on the top of the mountain almost as soon as You Xing finished speaking, and looked at You Xing with a questioning look in his eyes.
An alchemist in the early stage of foundation building. Junior Sister Yang thinks that this person can refine top-grade foundation building pills?
Are you kidding me? "Brother Qu, You Xing's master is a third-grade alchemist, and You Xing has an extraordinary talent for alchemy."
Yang Qiaoying knew what Qu Zhongshu was questioning, and she also had some doubts at the beginning.
At first, she hoped that Fellow Daoist Zhao could help her refine a top-grade foundation-building pill.
However, Brother Zhao directly recommended his disciple You Xing to her.
Although You Xing is in the initial stage of foundation building, he could have entered the middle stage of foundation building long ago, but You Xing deliberately suppressed his realm.
According to Fellow Daoist Zhao, the reason why You Xing suppressed his realm was that he wanted to be able to refine top-grade foundation-building pills in the early stages of foundation-building.
This was a crazy move. Yang Qiaoying didn't know why You Xing was so persistent, but Zhao Daoyou, as his master, expressed his support.
Fellow Daoist Zhao told him that You Xing had successfully refined a high-quality foundation-building pill two years ago.
When it comes to refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, even Fellow Daoist Zhao personally admitted that the probability of his disciple refining a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is higher than that of his master.
Yang Qiaoying knew Zhao Yangming well and would never exaggerate just to flatter his disciple.
If You Xing really succeeded in refining a top-grade foundation-building pill this time, she would recommend You Xing to the sect master to participate in the competition with the Dan Shengzi disciples.
"Yeah?"
Qu Zhongshu still found it a little unconvincing. The main reason was that from the tone of Junior Sister Yang's voice, it seemed that she trusted this boy's master very much.
The most important thing is that the junior sister originally told me that this was a second-grade alchemist whom she met by chance outside, but now it turned out that she was recommended by the other person’s master.
Why didn’t Junior Sister Yang say it clearly before?
What is the relationship between Junior Sister Yang and this boy’s master?
You Xing felt the doubt from this Jindan senior, but he did not explain. As an alchemist, he did not need to explain in words. He just had to show the elixir he had made.
Elixir is the best explanation for alchemist.
"Can you refine a top-grade foundation-building pill? How confident are you?"
You Xing did not explain, but Qu Zhongshu asked directly.
If the man in front of him wasn't a powerful Jindan master, You Xing really wanted to smear the other person's face with elixir poison.
Who dares to say that he can get a top-grade foundation-building pill?
"I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about alchemy. No alchemist dares to say that they are sure of the quality of any top-grade elixir, let alone an elixir like the Foundation Establishment Pill. Unless you are someone who boasts, they can't even guarantee a good quality elixir, let alone a top-grade one."
You Xing couldn't help himself in the end and said that.
Qu Zhongshu's face was filled with smiles when he heard the answer. He was now certain that the boy in front of him was not as good as Chu Ning in alchemy attainments.
There is no guarantee of any quality products.
Look at what Chu Ning said. He started by talking about high-quality foundation-building pills. Ordinary quality pills were not even within his consideration.
That's the gap.
"You can't even guarantee a good quality pill, so how can you be confident that you can refine a top-grade foundation-building pill?" After saying that, Qu Zhongshu turned his gaze to Yang Qiaoying: "Junior Sister Yang, don't be fooled."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Brother Qu!" Yang Qiaoying's face darkened: "Do you think Junior Sister is someone who is easily deceived?"
"I'm afraid that you, Junior Sister, will be in a hurry to find a top-grade foundation-building pill, and someone with ulterior motives will find an opportunity to take advantage of you."
Someone with ulterior motives?
You Xing could tell that this senior not only questioned himself, but also his master.
If it was just questioning himself, then he would just bear with it, but if it was questioning his master, as a disciple he naturally could not sit idly by.
"As a Jindan master, if you don't understand alchemy, you might as well learn about it first. Otherwise, if what you say gets out, it will only cause others to laugh at you."
“I don’t understand?” Qu Zhongshu’s pressure dissipated. The pressure from the Jindan realm expert was a little too much for You Xing to bear, but You Xing still looked at Qu Zhongshu fearlessly.
"Senior Brother Qu!"
Yang Qiaoying at the side shouted softly, and Qu Zhongshu immediately put away his pressure and a smile appeared on his face.
"Junior Sister Yang, this guy said that I don't know how to make pills. Although I don't know how to make pills, I also know how unreliable it is to make a top-grade foundation-building pill in the early stages of foundation-building."
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean others can't do it. I've seen someone refine a top-grade foundation-building pill in the early stages of foundation-building. The reason why I'm suppressing my realm and not breaking through to the middle stage is because I want to catch up with that person."
You Xing's voice was powerful and his words moved Yang Qiaoying.
No wonder Brother Zhao allowed You Xing to suppress his realm and not break through. This turned out to be the reason.
No wonder Brother Zhao has so much confidence in You Xing. You have to know that even for an alchemist, the purpose of refining pills is to assist his own cultivation.
Now he is willing to suppress his realm in order to make pills, which shows that You Xing has an extremely pure heart in making pills.
Qu Zhongshu also remained silent. He was sure that what the boy in front of him said was true.
This boy is a pure alchemist with dreams.
"When I was in the late stage of Qi Condensation, I suppressed my realm for ten years because I wanted to become the number one alchemist in the Qi Condensation stage. Later, I thought I had reached the level, so I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
"At that time, I thought that even some second-grade alchemists were not as good as me in alchemy except that their realms were higher than mine. But I didn't expect that there are always people better than you in this world."
You Xing had a bitter smile on his face. The alchemy competition he had with Wen Jinshan that year almost made him lose his desire to make alchemy.
He had studied the art of alchemy for decades, but was not as good as someone who had only been exposed to it for a year.
Later, with the advice and comfort from his master, he finally got over the failure and secretly vowed that if he could not refine a top-grade foundation-building pill, he would never break through the middle stage of foundation-building.
That person was able to refine top-grade foundation-building pills in the early stages of foundation-building, so he can do it too.
"If someone guarantees to refine a top-grade foundation-building pill, then I can only tell you, senior, that you are most likely being deceived."
You Xing looked at Qu Zhongshu with sharp eyes. Although Qu Zhongshu had a better impression of You Xing, he still felt a little disgusted when he heard this.
What do you mean, I was deceived?
"Don't make things so absolute. I really did find someone to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and there is a high possibility that it can be refined into a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
Qu Zhongshu's intuition told him that although Chu Ning had said that he would do his best but there were no guarantees, he could tell from his expression that Chu Ning was quite confident in refining a top-grade foundation-building pill.
"Brother, are you looking for someone to refine the foundation-building pill?"
Yang Qiaoying was a little confused. Her senior brother didn't have any disciples who needed the Foundation Establishment Pill, so what was the point of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill?
"Brother, you borrowed the soul cleansing liquid from the sect master last time, and also borrowed foundation-building materials from other sisters. Were they used to refine the foundation-building pill?"
"That's right, Senior Brother, if you pay 200 drops of Soul Cleansing Liquid, the other party will guarantee to refine a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill."
Qu Zhongshu was just bragging, and Chu Ning's "doing his best" became a guarantee in his mouth.
"Senior, you have definitely been deceived."
You Xing said confidently, "Even my master can't guarantee a top-grade foundation-building pill, unless you find a fourth-grade alchemist."
A fourth-grade alchemist is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, so how could he possibly refine a foundation-building pill?
"Brother, this is 200 drops of Soul Cleansing Liquid. You are... too arbitrary."
Yang Qiaoying also felt that Senior Brother Qu's deal was a bit risky. In terms of value, two hundred drops of Soul Cleansing Liquid were higher than a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. However, if one encountered a Jindan powerhouse who needed to prepare a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for his juniors, two hundred drops of Soul Cleansing Liquid would be acceptable.
But the key problem is that no alchemist dares to guarantee that he can refine a top-grade foundation-building pill.
"Is the alchemist you found, Senior Brother, a third-grade alchemist?"
"No, he is in the Foundation Establishment Stage just like this kid."
You Xing's mouth twitched. An alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage? Isn't that a complete liar?
Is this senior so easily deceived?
Yang Qiaoying didn't know what to say. Senior Brother Qu said that the You Xing she found was unreliable, and the one he found was not much better than her.
"Senior, this alchemist wouldn't have left already, right?" You Xing asked.
"Don't worry, he is still inside the mountain gate. He will not leave until he refines the foundation-building pill."
"Then you should be careful, senior. I think this person will make an excuse that he failed in alchemy, or find an excuse to drag it out."
You Xing knew that there were these scums in the alchemist circle. They themselves did not have enough attainments in alchemy, but they boasted about it to others. Then, after accepting the things from those who asked for the elixirs, they found all kinds of excuses to shirk their responsibilities.
However, in general, these scums only dare to deceive those who are at the same or lower level than them, and dare not deceive those who are at a higher level than them.
This liar dared to deceive a powerful Jindan master. I think he must have thought of a foolproof plan.
"Brother Qu, I think You Xing's words make sense. You should still be on guard."
Qu Zhongshu shook his head. He was not a fool. He believed Chu Ning because there was no need for Chu Ning to lie to him.
Not to mention Chu Ning's achievements in alchemy, he is also the future son-in-law of their Xiyue Sect.
"If you don't believe me, why don't you take me to see the alchemist? I can tell whether the alchemist has real skills or not."
You Xing could sense that Senior Qu seemed to be hostile towards his master, so as a disciple he naturally had to stand on the side of his master.
Exposing the fraudulent alchemist was also a slap in the face to Senior Qu, and indirectly gave the master a chance to vent his anger.
"It's not a good idea to disturb him while he's refining the elixir." Qu Zhongshu was a little hesitant.
"Senior, you may not know that you don't need to keep an eye on the furnace when refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. After the medicinal materials are purified, all that's left is to control the temperature when the pill is about to take shape. If the pill is really about to take shape, it will only take a few days. I can still wait."
"Brother Qu, just do as You Xing said. I'll go and take a look too."
Qu Zhongshu would refuse You Xing, but he would never refuse Yang Qiaoying. He said, "Okay, then I will take Junior Sister Yang to have a look. Junior Sister Yang, please get on my flying sword."
"No need to go through so much trouble. Junior Sister can just take Youxing on the flying boat."
Yang Qiaoying shook her head. Her flying boat had not yet been folded up when it stopped in front of him. Qu Zhongshu had no choice but to say, "Then Senior Brother, lead the way."
On the flying boat, Yang Qiaoying looked at You Xing with a serious expression: "You Xing, how sure are you that the other party deliberately deceived Senior Brother Qu?"
"Senior Yang, even my master can't guarantee that he can refine a top-grade foundation-building pill in one go. Don't you think he's a liar?" You Xing said with a smile.
"Even your master can't guarantee it, so this person is very likely a liar." Yang Qiaoying nodded: "You can directly expose this person later. I will take care of this for you, Senior Brother Qu."
"With Senior Yang's words, You Xing feels relieved. I promise to make sure this liar has nowhere to hide."
As an alchemist, You Xing himself extremely disliked those scums in the circle who had low attainments in alchemy but deceived people who came to ask for elixirs.
Using the risk of failure in refining pills as an excuse, he unscrupulously defrauded those who asked for pills of their refining fees.
There are also some alchemists who, clearly not being good at making pills, insist that it is normal to fail two or three times while refining pills and ask the alchemist to prepare multiple copies of the pill materials.
The existence of these scums has damaged the reputation of the entire alchemy community. Although many monks dare not offend these alchemists, they often curse them behind their backs.
It is his responsibility as an alchemist to expose these scums and uphold the moral standards of alchemists.
