Chapter 151 [(*^▽^*)]
"And from my point of view, Uncle Duan has such a high talent for refining pills that he should have already..."
He didn't finish his words, but Duan Chongbei knew what he wanted to say. His eyes fell on him, neither admitting nor denying.
Ming Fanxing thought of his own consciousness, plus the Chongming beast in his sea of consciousness. With such conditions, what Duan Chongbei said about refining a first-level fourth-grade pill in the foundation-building period seemed to be feasible.
Ming Fanxing checked his current situation.
Name: Ming Fanxing
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Constitution: 201
Consciousness: 258
Talent: Yin 10, Yang 10, Gold 50, Water 50, Wood 50, Fire 50, Earth 50
Realm: Great Perfection of Condensing Qi
He looked at his current consciousness strength, which was 258 points.
You should know that Duan Chongbei's consciousness strength is more than 400. With his own consciousness strength, it seems that he still has a long way to go to compare with Uncle Duan.
However, Ming Fanxing is still very satisfied with his consciousness strength. You should know that there are very few other disciples in the same realm as him who have more than 200.
Whenever he went out before, he would take the opportunity to appraise other disciples when they passed by. Over time, he could basically determine that the spiritual awareness of Qi Condensation cultivators was indeed no more than 200.
Except for a few extremely outstanding ones, such as Qin Jiuzhou and Ming Yufeng, their spiritual awareness strength was only a little over 200. As for
the uncles in the Foundation Establishment Stage, except for Duan Chongbei who was over 400 in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the other uncles in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, including Jin Nantian at that time, were all over 300.
He had seen too few in the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment, and only the deputy dean Yao Hongyi was over 400, but also over 400.
The other uncles were all over 300, with the higher ones being 370 to 80, and the lower ones being 310 to 20. From this, it can be seen that Duan Chongbei's spiritual awareness is really strong.
Based on this, Ming Fanxing could roughly infer that the strength of the consciousness in the Jindan period was about five or six hundred. As long as his consciousness strength was close to this number, would he be able to refine a first-level fourth-grade pill?
However, now was not the time to think about this.
To do this, he still had to wait until his consciousness strength met the conditions.
But he still asked, "Then...what about the fifth-grade pill?"
Duan Zhongbei sighed, "The fifth-grade pill is not something that can be solved by consciousness. If you want to refine a fifth-grade pill, in addition to the strength of consciousness, it simply depends on the talent and luck of the pill cultivator."
Ming Fanxing looked at him, "That means the fifth-grade pill is not a pill that can be refined by groping to find the rules and practicing more?"
"Even if an alchemist who is more powerful than the Golden Core Stage doesn't have the natural talent for alchemy, he can't refine the fifth-grade elixir?"
Duan Zhongbei nodded, "Yes, that's right, the fifth-grade elixir is just so unreasonable. And above the fifth-grade elixir, there is the legendary top-grade elixir."
Ming Fanxing blinked, "Top-grade elixir... does this mean that there is no elixir poison?"
Duan Zhongbei smiled, "Not only does it not have any elixir poison, but the efficacy of the elixir is extremely powerful, and it is simply incomparable to elixirs of other grades."
"But the best pills only exist in legends. Anyway, I have never seen one and I have never heard of any senior having one."
Ming Fanxing nodded, "It seems that the probability of the fifth-grade pill and the best pill appearing is not high." Duan
Zhongbei laughed and shook his head, "Not only is it unlikely, it is really impossible for them to appear. No matter how good your talent for refining pills is, don't have these unrealistic dreams."
"By the way, let me ask you, have you ever taken any pills so far?"
Ming Fanxing shook his head, "Disciple has never taken a pill." Duan
Chongbei nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, very good, remember not to take any third-grade or lower pills in the future."
Ming Fanxing's heart tightened, "Third-grade pills are not okay? May I ask Uncle Duan... the pill poison of this pill can't be cured by using the marrow cleansing pill..."
Duan Chongbei interrupted him, "That's just what you can see and feel on the surface!"
Ming Fanxing noticed something wrong, "Please tell me, Uncle."
Duan Chongbei sighed, "It's true that I should tell you..."
"No matter what kind of pill it is, except for the legendary top-grade pill, other pills have pill poison, and if you take pills for a long time, the pill poison will accumulate in the meridians."
"If one takes too many pills, the poison from the pills will clog the meridians, and the person will no longer be able to practice, and may even be unable to use his own spiritual power."
"And the Marrow Cleansing Pill can indeed eliminate the poison, but it only eliminates the poison that can be seen in the surface meridians."
"However, every time one takes a pill, a very small amount of the poison will be integrated into the bones, blood, and even the dantian!"
"This amount of poison will accumulate and affect the cultivator's qualifications and future path of practice."
Ming Fanxing was shocked. He only knew that the poison would gather in the meridians, but he had never heard that it would be integrated into the bones, blood, and even the dantian, and even affect the qualifications for practice!
"Then... is there any way to eliminate this part of the elixir poison?"
Duan Chongbei, "Don't panic, there is a way, the way is the fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs I mentioned before."
"These two grades of marrow cleansing elixirs can remove the elixir poison that has integrated into the cultivator's bones, blood, and dantian."
Ming Fanxing breathed a sigh of relief, "But fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs are not so easy to refine. For fourth-grade elixirs, if the realm of elixir cultivation is improved, it is likely that they can be refined, but... fifth-grade elixirs are hard to come by."
"Right, that's right."
Ming Fanxing asked, "Then... besides the fourth-grade and fifth-grade pills, are there any other methods? Top-grade pills?"
Duan Chongbei was speechless, "Fourth-grade and fifth-grade pills are fine, and top-grade pills are also fine. However, besides pills, there is another method."
Ming Fanxing's eyes lit up, "Please tell me, uncle."
Duan Chongbei was calm, "It's very simple, thunder tribulation!"
Ming Fanxing's eyes jumped and he repeated, "Thunder tribulation?"
Duan Chongbei nodded, "Yes, you may not know yet, all cultivators need to survive thunder tribulations before they can successfully advance. Take the advancement from Qi Condensation Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage as an example, one must survive nineteen heavenly tribulations."
Ming Fanxing still didn't know much about heavenly tribulations, "Nineteen heavenly tribulations? Are there other heavenly tribulations after that?"
Duan Chongbei explained, "The path of cultivation itself is to go against the will of heaven. It's okay in the Qi Condensation Stage. After all, although the strength has become stronger, the lifespan is still not much different from that of ordinary people. But starting from the Foundation Establishment Stage, it's different."
"We are fighting for our lives against heaven!"
Ming Fanxing murmured, "Fighting for our lives against heaven... going against heaven."
Duan Chongbei looked serious, "There are a total of nine major realms from the Qi Condensation Stage to the Ascension Stage. Every time you advance to a major realm, you need to go through a heavenly tribulation."
"From the 19th to the 99th heavenly tribulation, and after going through the last and strongest 99th heavenly tribulation, you can... achieve the body of an immortal, ascend to heaven, and go to the immortal world."
Ming Fanxing's eyes lit up when he heard about ascending to heaven, but then he thought of the heavenly tribulation.
Duan Chongbei was right, as long as you are a cultivator, you are fighting for your life and going against heaven. If that's the case, it's no wonder that heaven sent down thunder tribulation to kill these rebellious sons who were fighting for their lives.
Duan Chongbei, "When a cultivator is undergoing a tribulation, all of his spiritual power will be released and transformed into a physical form to resist the thunder tribulation. If there is any poison remaining in the body, some black impurities will appear in this form of spiritual power. The more impurities there are, the more poison there is in the cultivator's body."
"What I told you before, that you can use thunder tribulation to eliminate poison, is just this step. You only need to use the body transformed by spiritual power to directly resist the thunder tribulation, and then the poison will be directly eliminated by the thunder tribulation."
"If you can resist it directly, not only can you successfully advance, but you can also eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by the poison hidden in the body."
After all the talk, they still came back to the matter of poison.
Ming Fanxing was very interested in another thing. "Spiritual power can be released and transformed into a human form?"
Duan Chongbei nodded. "I
am not in a position to say much about this matter. Every once in a while, there will be disciples who are about to reach the age to break through to the foundation-building stage. You can go and see for yourself then." "You only need to see it once and you will understand it yourself. I will not say more here."
Ming Fanxing, "Disciple understands." Duan
Chongbei, "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. I think you understand these things. In this case, it is time for us to get to the point." Ming Fanxing
nodded. "Please give me some advice on refining the Zhenyuan Pill, Uncle Duan."
Duan Chongbei, "First of all, you must remember the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Zhenyuan Pill. The amount is nearly twice that of the first-level Xisui Pill."
"There are more than 30 kinds of spiritual herbs, right here, take a look, and remember them."
Ming Fanxing looked at the more than 30 kinds of spiritual herbs that Duan Chongbei took out, and memorized them one by one. Ordinary people may not be able to remember them even if they have a good memory.
But cultivators only need to scan them with their consciousness and they will remember them directly, and they will never forget them. Ming Fanxing didn't spend much time to remember them all.
Duan Chongbei saw that he remembered it easily, "Did you remember it? Then let's get started."
"I will refine the Zhenyuan Pill here, and you can watch from the side. I have experienced it once before, so I think I don't need to give more instructions this time."
Ming Fanxing, "Uncle Master, don't worry, I will be careful and will not disturb you from refining the pill."
Duan Chongbei smiled and nodded, "That's very good."
He still trusted Ming Fanxing very much. This was the disciple with the best talent in refining pills he had ever met in his life. There was no such person before, and it is estimated that there will be no such person in the future.
Here, no one knows better than him, a second-level third-grade alchemist, how difficult it is to refine a first-level pill in the Condensation Stage.
The process of refining the Zhenyuan Pill is actually not much different from the process of refining the Xisui Pill. The biggest difference is the increase in the number of medicinal materials.
Therefore, there are more stringent requirements for the strength of the cultivator's consciousness and the ability to control it.
Ming Fanxing carefully sank his consciousness into Duan Zhongbei's alchemy furnace. With previous experience, he was more familiar with it this time.
When Duan Zhongbei was refining the elixir, he couldn't even feel that there were other consciousnesses in the alchemy furnace, but he knew that Ming Fanxing had indeed sunk his consciousness.
