Chapter 164 [(*^▽^*)]
After two years, he felt that he might no longer need to go out to buy spiritual herbs for refining first-level pills.
Of course, this must not be exposed at this time.
For the sake of safety, what should be bought must be bought!
Ming Fanxing looked at the spiritual plants that he had already gathered in the space, and his heart was very satisfied.
Time passed unknowingly.
Ming Fanxing was refining pills in seclusion. When he was refining pills, he had no idea about the passage of time. When he came to his senses, he found that more than half a year had passed.
After refining this batch of pills again, Ming Fanxing finally had the idea of going out for a walk. He was a little depressed after being cooped up in the cave for so long.
In the past six months, he has left 10,000 spirit stones in his storage bag for emergency use, and threw all the rest into the Yin Yang Lake.
Now compared to the beginning, there is probably about half a cup more, and this is still under the premise of consumption. Although it is not a lot, after the lake water has increased. The
spirit plants planted around are growing more and more gratifying!
Although he knew that even if he did not throw spirit stones in, the Yin Yang Lake water could support the formation and accelerate the growth of spirit plants, but this would require continuous consumption of Yin Yang Lake water. If it
only consumes and does not increase, one day the lake water will be consumed, and then...
killing the chicken to get the eggs is not advisable.
He observed that although such a huge formation was maintained in operation, although only a small part of it was in operation at this time, the amount of Yin Yang Lake water consumed was also very small.
It can be seen that the water of Yinyang Lake can withstand use, and also... these spiritual plants for refining first-grade elixirs are actually not that high-end.
In more than half a year, these spiritual plants have grown into a large area.
Although it is not self-sufficient at this time, but... at this speed, it should be fine in one or two years.
Ming Fanxing called Wanhu to deliver the elixirs. Even if he is so talented, he can't produce second-grade elixirs in every furnace during the Qi Condensation Stage.
Every time he deliberately controlled his ability and refined second-grade elixirs to make up the number, his heart was tormented as if he was being tortured.
Looking at the furnace full of second-grade pills, his eyes were blazing with anger. It was simply unjust...
Ming Fanxing observed his Dantian. The spiritual power vortex in his Dantian had expanded a lot, and it had already occupied half of the Dantian.
You have to know that this is the case when another ** took away half of the spiritual power.
At this rate, he will definitely reach the standard of building a foundation within two years. By then, he will definitely wake up his master.
He didn't know how he needed to overcome the tribulation to maximize the benefits.
Soon Wanhu sent the spiritual herbs and spiritual stones over as usual.
Ming Fanxing took a deep breath and relaxed a little, "Junior Brother Wan, has anything happened recently? I want to go out and relax."
Wan Hu blinked, "Senior Brother Ming, the new batch of disciples is having a ranking battle, do you want to go and have a look?"
Ming Fanxing was stunned for a moment, "It's already this time?"
Wan Hu nodded, "Yes, there are new disciples here."
The entry of new disciples into the academy means that at the top, another batch of disciples who failed to build a foundation are forced to graduate and leave the academy. Their future... is bleak.
Wan Hu suddenly thought of something, "Oh, there is one more big thing."
Ming Fanxing was a little bored, "What big thing?"
Wan Hu, "It is said that in about two months, a senior brother who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation will be going through the tribulation and preparing to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Ming Fanxing sat up straight and widened his eyes, "Really?!"
Wan Hu, "I dare not deceive senior brother, this news is absolutely true, but... the specific date is not clear. When I was on duty in Danxiang Pavilion, Uncle Duan and another uncle happened to pass by and were talking about this matter."
Ming Fanxing breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a big deal, I must go and see it then."
Wan Hu, "This is the only senior brother who is going to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage in the past two years!"
Ming Fanxing puzzled, "Could it be that... there is only one senior brother who advances to the Foundation Establishment stage every two or three years?"
If that is the case, then why don't so many senior brothers and sisters who are about to graduate try it? Was he forced to graduate directly?
Wan Hu shook his head, "No, I just heard that a certain secret realm will be opened in the next two years, so many brothers are suppressing their cultivation, and want to wait until they come back from the secret realm to advance."
Ming Fanxing heard about the secret realm again, "That is to say, this brother originally planned to go, but couldn't suppress his cultivation?"
Wan Hu, "Not bad, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
If he doesn't go, he will lose the opportunity to obtain more resources. If he goes, he doesn't know if he can come back alive.
Ming Fanxing, "Junior brother, do you know about this secret realm?"
Wanhu shook his head, "It is said that this secret realm opens once every fifty years. The cultivators who entered the last time it opened are either dead or have advanced to the foundation-building stage, or they are over thirty years old and cannot build a foundation, so they left the imperial city and no one knows where they are doing well."
"Disciples like us in the Qi Condensation stage don't know the situation inside."
Ming Fanxing, "I see. In that case..."
He still felt upset at this time, "Then let's put this matter aside for now. I want to go out for a walk and relax."
Wanhu, "Brother Ming, do you want to go see the new disciples? Today's ranking battle is the last day."
Ming Fanxing thought that when he came to the academy for the ranking battle, no other senior brothers came to see him. If he went, would he be noticed?
"Forget it. My identity as an alchemist is out in the open. If I go out for a walk, I will definitely be spotted. By then, I might even feel upset, not to mention being able to relax. I'll just go sit on the top of the mountain."
Wan Hu blinked, "Brother Ming
, why don't you put away the jade pendant?" Ming Fanxing, "Brother, you are joking. What if I put away the jade pendant? Can I still change my appearance?"
"Many people know me. I will be recognized as soon as I go out. By the way...by the way, has Sister Jin appeared outside my cave during this period of time?"
Wan Hu raised his eyebrows. For a moment, he couldn't remember who the Junior Sister Jin that Ming Fanxing was talking about was, but soon he realized that this Junior Sister Jin should be Jin Mary.
"Brother Ming, are you referring to Junior Sister Jin Mary?"
Ming Fanxing nodded, "Yes, it's her. How come... judging from your expression, what's wrong with her?"
Wan Hu sighed, "Brother Ming, please forgive me. This Junior Sister Jin can no longer be considered a Junior Sister."
Ming Fanxing paused slightly, "Tell me in detail."
Wan Hu, "It's no wonder that you don't know. After all, you are so focused on refining pills that you don't care about the outside world. In fact, something happened to Jin Mary three months ago." "
She... was bribed by someone from another country and secretly... went to find one of the alchemists in the Qi Condensation period. I don't know what method she used to convince him."
"The two parties agreed on a time to quietly leave the imperial city together one day."
Ming Fanxing was stunned. This Jin Mary used her ability of charming halo to turn that first-level alchemist in the Qi Condensation period into her own bootlicker, and then just followed him like that?
"What happened next?"
Wan Hu said sarcastically, "Of course he was discovered."
"There are not many Qi Condensation Stage alchemists in the Imperial City Academy, so the Foundation Establishment Stage uncles and seniors in the entire Imperial City can basically recognize him."
"The Foundation Establishment Stage uncle who was on duty at the city gate saw him planning to leave the city alone and casually asked what he was going to do. He made an excuse, but his words were vague and he didn't explain in detail."
"He also looked a little guilty, so the uncle became suspicious."
Wan Hu paused here, "Of course, the uncle let him go at that time, just as if he didn't find anything, so that he could relax his vigilance."
"But the uncle-master had secretly sent a message to other people, and finally found him twenty miles away from the imperial city and brought him back."
Wan Hu said with a smile, "At the same time, Jin Mary and three Foundation Establishment cultivators were also found there. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators escaped and one was captured, and Jin Mary naturally couldn't escape either."
Ming Fanxing blinked, "Jin Mary is the only one in the Qi Condensation Stage?"
Wan Hu, "I don't know the details, but there has been no news about Jin Mary since she was captured, and no one knows where she is now. But you can imagine that she won't have a good ending."
"And many male disciples who were obsessed with Jin Mary in the academy were taken away for as long as a month, and less than half of them were finally released."
Ming Fanxing touched his chin.
"So... since she couldn't find an opportunity to attack me, she turned to look for someone else?"
Wan Hu, "Isn't that right?"
"It is said that in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Jin Mary persuaded that senior brother to leave the imperial city alone, using the excuse of going out for business."
"There was no one else around him from beginning to end. It is said that this would avoid suspicion, but the senior uncle who was guarding the city gate still saw through it."
Ming Fanxing, "Which country is he from? Is it Xingzhou?"
After all, it was also people from Xingzhou who poached the alchemist last time. Should they use the same trick again this time?
Wan Hu, "Yes, it's from Xingzhou."
Ming Fanxing, "Does Xingzhou have its own alchemists? Don't they train their own?"
Wan Hu, "They definitely train their own, but they have consumed countless spiritual herbs. So far, there are only two alchemists who can pass the Alchemist Association's assessment."
"They are all first-level third-grade alchemists in the Foundation Establishment period. There is not a single one in the Qi Condensation period. Oh, if this plan doesn't fail, then there will be one."
Ming Fanxing touched his chin, "We have more alchemists in the Foundation Establishment period, and there are also many alchemists in the Qi Condensation period. That's why they have been eyeing us?"
Wan Hu, "Hehe, our Fengwu country is naturally extremely excellent. Including Uncle Duan, the number of alchemists is indeed much larger than that of Xingzhou country. No wonder they have been coveting us and trying every means to poach people from here."
Ming Fanxing praised sincerely, "Uncle Duan is estimated to be the number one alchemist in our Fengwu country? That's amazing. I'm really jealous."
Then Ming Fanxing thought of the alchemy cauldron, "Wanhu, does Danxiang Pavilion have a better alchemy cauldron?"
Wan Hu was slightly stunned. He changed the subject a little too quickly.
