Chapter 185 [(*^▽^*)]
Hua Rong smiled coquettishly, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Ming to be so anxious. In this case, I won't beat around the bush. Please take a look at this."
She pointed casually, and a pure white jade box appeared on the table.
"Senior Brother, take a look."
Ming Fanxing didn't know what she was thinking, but this white jade box looked very precious, and the things inside were estimated to be worth a lot of money.
He hesitated for a while, knowing that Hua Rong would not do anything at this time, so he opened the white jade box with confidence, and saw a spiritual plant that he had never seen before.
This spiritual plant has thick leaves that are dark green, with some green spots dotted on the edges.
He did not recognize this spiritual plant, so he clicked on the appraisal.
Appraisal: Flowing light grass, one of the main ingredients for refining the second-level elixir, the foundation-building elixir.
Second-level elixir, the foundation-building elixir?
Second-level elixirs, as the name suggests, are for cultivators in the foundation-building period, but this foundation-building elixir is different. Only this elixir is for cultivators in the Qi Condensation period.
It is used to assist Qi Condensation disciples to overcome the nineteen heavenly tribulations and advance to the foundation-building period.
"Flowing light grass?"
Hua Rong's eyes flashed with surprise, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Ming to be so knowledgeable. He even knows about flowing light grass. He is worthy of being an alchemist, and that's right..."
"Since Senior Brother knows, I guess he also knows that this flowing light grass is one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation-building elixir?"
Ming Fanxing nodded calmly, and then closed the white jade box again.
This priceless white jade box is probably used to preserve the medicinal properties of the flowing light grass, so it is better not to open it for too long.
"I don't know... what is the intention of Junior Sister giving this to me?"
It is said that Uncle Duan in the academy has refined the foundation-building pill. This flowing light grass must be planted in the academy, but it is obvious that it is one of the main ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill, so it is absolutely impossible to give it to him.
And to refine a foundation-building pill, you don't need a piece of flowing light grass, you only need to pick a leaf.
Hua Rong had a smile on her face, "Brother, you are so smart, I think you already know what Junior Sister is thinking, I wonder..."
Ming Fanxing took his eyes off the white jade box, "Junior Sister, you are joking, as for me... I actually still like a free and unconstrained life."
Hua Rong's expression did not change after hearing this, "Brother, don't speak so quickly, how about taking a look at this one?"
Ming Fanxing looked at the wooden box that appeared on the table again. This wood did not look like ordinary wood, so he did not open it rashly.
Although she wanted to hold him back, if she did not hold him back, she might get angry out of shame.
He relied on his strong spiritual power and wanted to forcibly check the items inside, but he did not expect that he had failed just now, and he failed this time as well.
It seems that the Hua family is indeed not to be underestimated. Even these boxes are specially made to prevent spiritual peeping.
So, he made some preparations in secret, and then he opened the wooden box. As expected, there was nothing wrong with the box .
However, this time, what was placed inside was a piece of tree branch that was obviously broken. Ming Fanxing naturally didn't recognize it. Let's identify it. Identification: Red spruce, an extremely precious spiritual plant in the fairyland, can feed back spiritual energy after being planted and grown, and can feed back fairy energy after growing into a fairy plant. Ming Fanxing didn't show it on his face, but he took a breath of cold air in his heart. This identification was simply fatal! It turned out to be a spiritual plant from the fairyland, and... it feeds back! This means that it needs to absorb spiritual energy during the growth stage, but after growing into a big tree, it can emit spiritual energy by itself! If it ascends to the fairyland by itself, this red spruce can still absorb fairy energy and grow into a fairy plant! He thought for a moment and asked, "What is this..." Hua Rong smiled more sincerely, "This thing is very precious, even my Hua family doesn't have many!" "This is a branch broken off from a spiritual tree. It is said that adding a little sawdust when refining the elixir can increase the success rate of the elixir." Ming Fanxing raised an eyebrow. Increase the success rate of the elixir? It seems that the Hua family has not figured out the real use of this red spruce. Feeding back spiritual power can increase the concentration of spiritual energy. In such a world with scarce spiritual energy, this is a real treasure. I didn't expect that the Hua family actually used it as a consumable to increase the success rate of alchemy. Wait! Could it be that the Hua family is planting red spruce and breaking off a branch from time to time to use in alchemy? This will cause the red spruce to never grow into a big tree, so it can't feed back spiritual power? Although it was inconvenient to ask, he felt that he had found the truth. "Doesn't this thing have a name?" Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, "Name... It really doesn't have one. This is a mysterious spiritual tree discovered by my Hua family's ancestor more than 300 years ago." "It has been fed with a large amount of spiritual stones for so many years, and it can only be harvested once every period of time." Very good, the case is solved. It is harvested once every period of time. Ming Fanxing nodded, "So that's the case, this thing is so precious, I guess Junior Sister doesn't have much in her hand, I wonder why she is willing to take it out?" Hua Rong sighed, "Senior Brother, you don't know, if there is a choice, Junior Sister is not willing to take it out." Ming Fanxing, "Junior Sister, just say it." Hua Rong now understands that Ming Fanxing is a very cautious person. If she didn't explain clearly what she wanted, no matter how much the other party wanted these spiritual plants, they probably wouldn't accept her offer. "It's a long story... I'll make it short." Ming Fanxing glanced at her. Fortunately... if she really talked about it, he wouldn't want to listen. Hua Rong sighed, "Actually, the matter is very simple. I want to compete for the position of the young master, and I want Brother Ming to help me." Ming Fanxing was very surprised after hearing it. "Are you kidding me, Junior Sister? Although I don't know the situation of the Xiaohua family, no matter what, with my strength, I want to help Junior Sister ascend to the position of the young master, I'm afraid..."
Hua Rong chuckled, "Brother, you worry too much. A first-level third-grade alchemist is naturally not enough, but a second-level third-grade will be fine."
Ming Fanxing touched her chin, "Junior sister, how do you know that I can successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage? How do you know that I can become a second-level third-grade alchemist after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Hua Rong looked quite confident, "Junior sister, I naturally have my own estimate."
"You know, Senior Brother Ming's current success rate is among the best even among the Qi Condensation Stage alchemists here."
"Even some first-level alchemists in the foundation-building period are not your opponents. I think that after Senior Brother Ming advances to the foundation-building period, refining second-level pills will be a piece of cake."
Ming Fanxing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is..."
According to what Duan Chongbei said before, to refine second-level pills, most of them can only be refined by alchemists in the golden elixir period.
If I can refine second-level pills with my foundation-building period cultivation, it will be a great help to Hua Rong.
Ming Fanxing took a look at the wooden box.
Red spruce...
Taiyin in the mustard seed space opened his eyes and asked Hongmeng Baoding beside him, "Hongmeng, do you know about red spruce?"
Hongmeng Baoding was surprised, "What? You found red spruce outside?"
Ming Fanxing nodded, then shook his head, "I wonder if a small branch of red spruce can be planted?"
Hongmeng Baoding was a little excited, "Of course it can't be planted elsewhere, but with the Yinyang Lake water, it can definitely be planted! The original owner planted a large red spruce forest here, covering several mountain ranges!"
"In short...if you can get this thing, don't let it go."
Ming Fanxing blinked, "Okay."
Hongmeng Baoding said so, it seems that this red spruce really can't be missed, but how to get it still depends on the situation. He doesn't really want to join the so-called Hua family.
Outside.
Ming Fanxing remained calm, "Thank you for your appreciating me, Junior Sister."
He didn't say that he would go back to the Hua family with Hua Rong, he just...
Hua Rong's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face became more sincere.
Ming Fanxing didn't ask her what would happen if she couldn't refine the second-level elixir in a short time after advancing to the foundation-building stage, but said this directly.
How could she not know what this meant? Ming Fanxing is very confident that he can refine the second-level elixir after advancing to the foundation-building stage!
It seems that he has definitely made the right bet this time!
Although the Flowing Light Grass is very precious, you can still get another one by asking the elders, but the branches of this mysterious spiritual tree are really painful.
I only have two branches on me, and now I will give one away directly.
However, it should be worth it.
"Thank you, senior brother. Please accept these two things. It is my sincerity. After I return to the family, I will definitely give you other good things."
Ming Fanxing was satisfied, "In this case, I will take my leave first."
He put the two boxes into the mustard seed space and handed them to Taiyin** inside.
Hua Rong stood up to see him off, "By the way, I wonder if this Caiqing sister..."
Ming Fanxing did not hesitate, "She? It has nothing to do with me. Junior sister can decide for herself."
After that, Ming Fanxing opened the door and left.
Ming Caiqing, who was outside the door, looked at his back, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart, but she did not move, but looked carefully at Hua Rong who came out from behind.
Hua Rong looked at her, and she even took out the secret treasure tree branch, and did not care about a third-grade foundation-building pill. She flipped it casually, and a small medicine bottle appeared in her hand.
She threw it casually, "Take it, it's your reward."
Ming Caiqing hurriedly caught the small medicine bottle, and a trace of ecstasy flashed in her eyes, "Thank you, Miss!"
Hua Rong waved her hands, "At this point, you and I are even. Your qualifications are relatively poor. Whether you can successfully build a foundation with this foundation-building pill depends on your own luck."
What she meant by this was very obvious, that is, no matter whether she could successfully build a foundation, she did not intend to take her away and return to the Hua family.
Besides, even if Ming Caiqing could build a foundation, what would it matter?
Her qualifications were extremely poor. Even if she could build a foundation, she would only be in the initial stage of building a foundation for her whole life, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to advance any further.
Ming Caiqing was now completely focused on the small medicine bottle in front of her. She didn't even pay attention to what Hua Rong said. She just stood respectfully by the side, watching Hua Rong slowly leave.
