Chapter 141 [(*^▽^*)]
There were no accidents along the way. After Ming Fanxing took out the cave restriction token and successfully walked into the restriction, he was really relieved.
To be honest...
he didn't expect that he would encounter such a time-traveling Mary Sue.
After pushing open the cave door, Ming Fanxing finally returned to his cave, walked straight to the innermost part, and sat down on a cushion.
Then he took out the alchemy furnace that he had put in his storage bag before.
He was already very familiar with this alchemy furnace, but he also knew that this alchemy furnace was given for free, and it was definitely the most ordinary one.
Otherwise... it wouldn't be given for free, and he would buy a new and better alchemy furnace when he had more spirit stones in the future!
Ming Fanxing looked through his storage bag again. In addition to the fifty portions of medicinal materials, the most eye-catching thing was the spirit stones.
In the blink of an eye, he didn't expect that he had hundreds of spirit stones in his hands.
You know, when he just left Jinzhou City, he only had a few spirit stones in his hands. Compared with himself now
, the former self was really a poor ghost.
He didn't think so before, but now that he calmed down and looked at so many spirit stones in front of him, he had a substantial concept.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the two spirit stones in his hand and touched them. The icy touch and the rich spiritual power inside, I have to say, alchemists are really good at making spirit stones.
Besides this, he always felt that there were other benefits to becoming an alchemist, but as to what those benefits were... he was a little confused.
It seemed that he had to wait for a chance to ask Uncle Duan, and he didn't know when Uncle Duan would come to see him. He left in such a hurry before, so he must have something important to tell him.
Ming Fanxing took out the herbs and continued to refine the pills. No matter what, he had to improve his alchemy skills to the point where he could produce three third-grade marrow cleansing pills in each furnace.
Moreover, there could not be any first-grade marrow cleansing pills.
First-grade marrow cleansing pills were waste and had no use at all. If there was a first-grade pill in a furnace of pills, it would be a waste of spiritual herbs.
Now he set such a standard for himself. Every time he opened the furnace, if a first-grade pill appeared in the furnace, it would be considered a failure.
While Ming Fanxing was seizing the time to refine the elixir, in the most mysterious place of the academy, Duan Zhongbei was respectfully talking to the old man in front of him about this matter.
Next to this old man was a very familiar person, the vice president of the academy, Yao Hongyi, and Yao Hongyi could only sit respectfully beside this person.
This old man who looked energetic was the dean of the academy. This person's strength was unfathomable, and it was impossible to estimate his depth even after a spiritual sense scan.
This was actually an old ancestor in the Jindan period.
As the dean of the Fengwu Kingdom Imperial City Xiuxian Academy, Huo Feiming basically controlled the lifeblood of the cultivators of the entire Fengwu Kingdom.
If he had any bad intentions, the entire Fengwu Kingdom would suffer.
Fortunately, this old ancestor in the Jindan stage doesn't care about worldly things at all, and leaves it entirely to the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the academy. Generally speaking, unless something really big happens, no one will bother him.
After listening to Duan Feiming, Huo Feiming slightly closed his eyes, "Chongbei, are you telling the truth?"
Duan Chongbei nodded respectfully, "Uncle Huo, don't worry, I will definitely not joke about this."
"According to the news just received, this young man took out forty pills at the beginning, and the second time he took out seventy first-grade third-grade marrow cleansing pills, and exchanged them for spiritual herbs and some spiritual stones." "
Forty spiritual herbs were used to refine seventy first-grade third-grade marrow cleansing pills. He has only been exposed to pill refining for a few months. You must know that he is a disciple from Jinzhou City." "
Uncle Huo should understand the situation in Jinzhou City. It is relatively remote and one of the most impoverished prefectures in terms of resources. That is to say, before coming to the imperial city, he absolutely could not have been exposed to pill refining."
"To be able to explore the alchemy art to this level in such a short time, even I didn't have this ability back then."
Duan Chongbei said this and changed the subject, "At this time, this boy has already returned to his cave with the alchemy cauldron. He is one of the new disciples this year."
"Before, relying on his excellent strength, he won the first place in the ranking battle and obtained the right to use the first-class cave."
Huo Feiming nodded secretly, "He is the one that Hongyi mentioned before, the boy who practiced the Five Elements Technique and comprehended the mutual generation of the Five Elements, Ming... Ming Fanxing?"
Duan Chongbei nodded, "Yes, it is this disciple. His own strength is already very good. I didn't expect that he has such a high talent in alchemy."
"You should know that when I started to refine the alchemy, I consumed eighteen portions of spiritual herbs to refine the first second-grade marrow cleansing pill."
“The first third-grade cleansing marrow pill was refined just when the fifty spiritual herbs were about to be used up. Before that, in addition to the spiritual herbs provided by Danxiang Pavilion, I also put a lot of spiritual stones in it.”
He said excitedly, “This boy has better talent than me, and he should be trained. According to his strength, it will be a sure thing for him to build a foundation. Maybe he can avoid unnecessary troubles and directly be promoted by the Alchemist Association…”
Huo Feiming blinked, “Hahahaha… Well, if he can really pass the assessment of the Alchemist Association and become a formal first-level third-grade alchemist, he will definitely be recruited by the Alchemist Association as an exception. Besides, alchemists are also very popular there, so it’s very safe.”
"Okay, since he is a talent from my Fengwu country, then train him well. This Ming kid is handed over to you. Chongbei, you must take good care of him and don't let others steal his place!"
Duan Chongbei suddenly thought of a colleague who was poached by someone more than ten years ago. He was an alchemist in the early stage of foundation building like himself. Although his alchemy skills were not as good as his, he was also a first-level third-grade alchemist and passed the assessment of the Alchemist Association.
Unexpectedly, despite their good treatment, the other party was still poached by someone else. I don't know what benefits the other party promised.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes again and sent them a disciple whose alchemy talent is much better than the one who was poached.
"Don't worry, Dean. Leave this boy to me. I guarantee nothing will happen!"
"Besides... this boy's friends are also in the academy. Qin Jiuzhou, who ranked first last year, has a good relationship with him. Ming Yufeng, who ranked third this year, is from the same family as him and has a good relationship with him as well. As long as they can stay here with peace of mind, this boy will certainly stay here with peace of mind as well."
"Besides, he has such a high talent in alchemy, he wants everything, why does he need the benefits promised by others?"
"The one before... although he is also an alchemist, his alchemy talent is relatively poor. Even if he is treated well here, he is not very rich, so the other party took advantage of him."
Huo Feiming thought about it, then nodded, "You are right."
After the few people chatted for a while, Huo Feiming waved his hand, "Okay, you all leave, this matter ends here, keep an eye on it secretly, and don't let the news spread for the time being."
Duan Chongbei and Yao Hongyi stood up, bowed and left. When they left the cave, they were in a very good mood and chatted while walking.
Of course, the content of the chat was related to Ming Fanxing.
Yao Hongyi, "I didn't expect that this Ming Fanxing..."
Duan Chongbei thought for a while, "Train him well, I will take him to the Alchemist Association for assessment after some time. He can become a first-level third-grade alchemist in the Qi Condensation Stage. I guess there are not many such talents even there, right?"
Yao Hongyi nodded, "There shouldn't be many. Except for a very few, the rest basically have to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage to become first-level third-grade alchemists."
"And to become a second-level third-grade alchemist, most of them are alchemists in the Golden Core Stage... In this way, Junior Brother Duan, you can become a second-level third-grade alchemist in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which is also a leader!"
"If you go there too, I guess the status will not be low."
Duan Chongbei sighed, "There is no need to talk about my affairs. I don't have much ambition in my life..."
"But it's really ironic that 90% of alchemy practitioners are basically unable to refine the elixir they need, such as the Foundation Building Pill..."
"It's obviously the elixir needed by Qi Condensation Stage disciples, but it is a second-grade elixir. And most of the second-grade elixirs can only be refined by alchemy practitioners who have advanced to the Golden Core Stage."
"Of course, to put it more strictly, very few Foundation Building Stage alchemy practitioners can also refine it."
Take himself for example, but his success rate in refining the third-grade Foundation Building Pill is not very high.
"For example, Xuanhuang Pill, which can help form golden elixir, is obviously what foundation-building cultivators need, but it is a third-level pill. Only a very small number of golden elixir cultivators, or advanced Yuanying stage alchemy cultivators can refine it."
At this point, he sighed deeply, "Don't you think it's ironic?"
Yao Hongyi sighed, "It's true, but since we have embarked on this path, these twists and turns are all justified."
"We are still lucky here, at least there is not so much killing, and it is relatively peaceful. When we get there, that will be..."
Duan Chongbei looked at the sky, "Becoming an alchemist, becoming an excellent alchemy cultivator, this kind of identity can avoid many dangers."
"After all, there are really too few alchemists, especially those with talent..."
They walked away gradually, and the sound of their conversation also faded away. Huo Feiming, who was in the deepest part of the cave, opened his eyes only when he could no longer hear them.
He stared at the direction where the two people left in front of him with a sharp gaze, and closed his eyes again after a while.
Ming Fanxingsi had no idea that because of his affairs, he had also attracted the attention of the only Jindan-stage ancestor in the entire Fengwu Kingdom.
However...even if he knew, he probably wouldn't feel anything. For him, the most important thing in front of him was the alchemy.
For example, how many third-grade cleansing marrow pills can be produced from this furnace of pills after the furnace is opened!
His goal is to have at least three third-grade cleansing marrow pills in each furnace of pills, and no first-grade waste pills. If he can achieve this standard, his current stage will be perfect.
