Chapter 133 [(*^▽^*)]
Ming Fanxing sighed and seemed a little disappointed, "Really? I thought that with senior brother's looks and strength, I could just wave my hand and all the beauties would swarm to me and throw themselves at me."
"I never thought that it's been a year, and senior brother Qin is still single?"
Qin Jiuzhou raised his eyebrows and sighed silently.
"What on earth are you thinking about?"
"How can someone of my generation find a partner so easily? Especially now, when I'm still so weak... Let's talk about this when I'm stronger."
Ming Fanxing blinked, "Wait until I build my foundation? By the way, Senior Brother Qin, can you build your foundation now? Do you know what it's like?"
Qin Jiuzhou frowned slightly. As for building his foundation, he could actually do it now, but the spiritual power in his Dantian hadn't reached its limit yet, so he didn't want to rush it.
And building a foundation... this is indeed a big problem.
"If you want to build a foundation, the spiritual power of this first-class cave is not enough. The spiritual power is the most concentrated in the best place in the center of the academy, which is this spiritual vein."
"It is said that all cultivators who want to build a foundation must go there to have enough spiritual power, but if you want to build a foundation there, you must first hand over 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones to the sect."
Ming Fanxing paused slightly, "10,000?"
"Then according to the resources obtained by the disciples of the first-class cave, it seems that so many spiritual stones are not enough even if you accumulate them until you are thirty years old, and those elixirs are not enough."
"By the way, Senior Brother Qin, did you...did you eat all those elixirs?"
Senior Brother Qin shook his head, "No, I don't eat elixirs. I sold them all and exchanged them for spiritual stones to buy some things I needed."
"Of course I know that it is not possible to accumulate 10,000 spirit stones just by relying on the resources distributed by the academy every month. Of course, there are other ways, and it is not as simple as you think."
"There are many skills and spells to choose from in the academy, but you also need to hand in spirit stones to practice. If you want to get more spirit stones, you can also accept the academy's tasks."
"This is our main source of spirit stones. The more difficult the task, the higher the reward. The spirit stones obtained by selling all the resources obtained along the way are also a lot."
"However... to complete these tasks with rich rewards, you must have enough strength. If you want to become stronger, you must have good spells. This is a vicious circle."
"And you should have heard that you must successfully build a foundation before the age of 30, so that the academy can arrange a better future for you. If you can't do it, you will have to leave the academy."
When Qin Jiuzhou said this, he didn't know what he was thinking of.
"Just like in Jinzhou City, if you can't succeed in cultivation within a year, you will have to leave the martial arts hall in disgrace. If you can't cultivate to the Great Consummation of Qi within five years, you will be sent back home and there will be no arrangements for your future."
"Having said that, if you want to cultivate faster, pills are also a part of it. Many people can't keep up with the speed of cultivation, so they won't sell the pills in their hands, but take them themselves."
Ming Fanxing touched his chin, "So that's how it is, so 10,000 spirit stones is really an astronomical number for ordinary disciples?"
Qin Jiuzhou nodded, "It can be said that even for disciples in the first-class cave dwellings, it is not easy to save up 10,000 spirit stones under such circumstances, and there is a time limit."
"Not to mention that every three months, basically every disciple in the first-class cave dwellings will be challenged, and no one can avoid it."
"No matter how powerful your methods were to defeat your opponents before, there will always be someone else challenging you in three months. You don't know now because you have just entered the academy, but you will know in two years. This is definitely a very troublesome thing."
Ming Fanxing blinked and suddenly asked, "Brother Qin, are there any disciples in our academy who go to refine pills?"
Qin Jiuzhou thought for a while, "Refine pills? Of course there are, but not many disciples in the academy can refine pills. Those who can refine pills in the academy, I mean those who can refine third-grade pills, are all the foundation-building uncles in Danxiang Pavilion. There are only three of them in total."
"Among the Qi Condensation disciples, only five can refine pills, and the success rate is not very high. It takes about five herbs to refine a furnace of third-grade pills."
Ming Fanxing, "It sounds difficult. Brother Qin, do you think I can refine pills?"
Qin Jiuzhou was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, "I don't know about this. If you want, you can give it a try."
"If you can pass the test, you can get some herbs for free, and someone will teach and watch you refine pills. As long as you can show your talent, you will be trained as a priority."
"I can say this, as long as you can refine pills, third-grade pills, then your status in the academy can be directly compared with that of the uncle-senpai in the Foundation Establishment Period!"
Qin Jiuzhou couldn't help but sigh, "If you can refine pills, you can easily save up 10,000 spirit stones, or even more. Of course, the premise is... you have to have this talent."
"You should know that the success rate of the five Qi Condensation period alchemists in the academy is not high, and the academy has no plans to train them."
"A portion of medicinal materials for refining a first-grade marrow cleansing pill is worth three low-grade spirit stones, and a first-grade third-grade marrow cleansing pill is also priced at this price."
Ming Fanxing paused slightly, "That is to say, a furnace of pills must produce a first-grade third-grade pill to offset its own pill refining cost, and the extra pills are profitable."
"If no third-grade pills are produced, there is a high possibility of loss. After all, first-grade pills are equivalent to waste pills, and second-grade pills are not valuable."
Qin Jiuzhou, "That's right, so alchemy seems to have a bright future, but it places great emphasis on talent. You can give it a try and see if you have the talent in this area."
"If you have talent, once you are noticed by the uncle-master of Danxiang Pavilion, the spiritual medicines you need for alchemy in the future will be provided by the academy, and you don't need to buy them yourself. Of course, I'm not saying it's free. You just need to keep refining pills. Every time you hand in a third-grade cleansing marrow pill, you can exchange it for a spiritual medicine for alchemy." "
As for other pills, the academy will also be responsible for purchasing them, which will save a lot of trouble."
Ming Fanxing asked, "Then... what if I become an alchemist? "
Qin Jiuzhou looked straight at Ming Fanxing and asked very seriously, "Fanxing, have you decided?"
Ming Fanxing shook her head, "Not yet, but... I do have this idea."
Qin Jiuzhou, "This is a major event in your life. I can't give you advice casually. Do you want to be a pill cultivator? I suggest you try it first to see if you have the talent for alchemy. If not, it's better to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Ming Fanxing took a deep breath, "I understand... Alchemy is not as simple as it looks. Let's give it a try first. If I have talent in this area, I'll consider practicing alchemy."
He really hasn't made up his mind yet. After all, he also yearns for the path of cultivation that allows him to travel freely and at ease, and practicing alchemy...
Qin Jiuzhou doesn't know what he is thinking, "Not bad, just consult the people in Danxiang Pavilion for details. The people there will tell you some matters related to alchemy, as well as some basic situations of alchemy."
"Give it a try once you've thought it through. To put it bluntly, if I didn't have a fire spirit root, I would have given it a try."
"You should know that all the disciples who know Danxiang Pavilion, who have fire spiritual roots and can practice fire magic, have tried it, but in the end, up to now, only a few disciples can refine the third-grade pill. It can be seen that refining pills is really difficult."
Ming Fanxing took a deep breath. What is the free travel of the world? He must be able to walk freely on this road.
"Okay, I understand. I will think about it carefully these few days. If I can really become an alchemist, it will be much easier to make pills and earn spirit stones."
Qin Jiuzhou just came to reminisce. After talking about business, he began to talk to Ming Fanxing about some interesting or more important things that happened in the imperial city in the past year.
In addition, he talked in detail about some influential figures in the academy. Of course, except for the uncle in the foundation-building period, they are all stronger disciples in the Qi Condensation period.
"You defeated Feng Qingxue this time, and it is said that he is seriously injured. There is a senior brother Qi Wanfeng who has been in the academy for many years. He may come to trouble you."
Ming Fanxing blinked, "Could it be that he likes Feng Qingxue?"
Qin Jiuzhou nodded, "Qi Wanfeng has a rather strange temper. Everyone who is targeted by him has been taught a lesson by him, without exception."
"And... I don't know how he did it, everyone who was taught a lesson by him is very afraid of him."
"This person comes from a good family. It is said that he is the eldest son of the prime minister of the current dynasty. Of course, mortal official positions are irrelevant to us, but he is also relatively strong. He practices gold and earth dual-attribute spells, and his defense and attack are very strong."
Ming Fanxing didn't care at all. "So what? Don't say I don't know. Even if I knew about this in advance, do you still want me to deliberately let her win me in the ranking battle?"
Qin Jiuzhou stared at her. She looked at him
for a while , then smiled and said, "You should think like this, although the other party is very strong, but if he wants to trouble you, I think he will be the one who suffers in the end." Ming Fanxing's eyes lit up, "Brother Qin has good taste!"
Qin Jiuzhou, "You are really rude, you are arrogant just because I compliment you?"
Ming Fanxing looked innocent, "I am not arrogant either, Brother Qin, you are telling the truth!"
Qin Jiuzhou laughed, and the two chatted for a while.
He noticed that Ming Fanxing's eyes were shining when she looked at him, which was a bit similar to the eyes of the woman he met outside before, but the meaning was completely different.
The eyes of the woman outside were full of disgusting desire, and she was determined to get him, as if she regarded him as her own property.
But Ming Fanxing...
what can I say? The way Ming Fanxing looked at me was just pure admiration, admiring his outstanding appearance, without any other thoughts.
