Chapter 244 [(*^▽^*)]
Chapter 244 [(*^▽^*)]
It is almost the time of the Chinese New Year now, but there is no atmosphere of the Chinese New Year in the academy. It looks the same as usual.
After all, they are all cultivators. Time is definitely the most valuable and the most worthless thing for them.
It is indeed very contradictory. When they are in retreat, they don’t pay much attention to time. When they are not in retreat, they are particularly concerned about their lifespan.
But at this time, he can see outside the academy, that is, in other areas of the imperial city, there are many places setting off fireworks.
Here, you can vaguely see the gorgeous colors in the sky, and colorful fireworks explode in the air, like countless blooming flowers.
He stared at the fireworks for a long time. When the fireworks bloomed, the brilliance reflected in his eyes was like the gorgeous galaxy.
After a long time, the fireworks show ended.
"Ah..."
Time is ruthless and will never slow down for anyone.
After watching the fireworks, Ming Fanxing calmed down and returned to the cave, isolating himself from all the worldly affairs outside.
None of this was what he needed.
The Xuanyang clone was still outside, constantly refining pills, while the Taiyin clone in the space was still practicing the Five Elements Immortal Art and the Saint Immortal Art!
Of course, at the same time, he also had to practice the Five Elements Immortal Art's inherent magical power, the Five Elements Concealment Technique, as well as the great magical power that his master had just taught him, the Divine Mind True Thunder!
These two magical powers are not easy to master. Just interpreting these obscure techniques and understanding them is extremely difficult.
For a full year and a half, Ming Fanxing was able to produce three third-grade pills per furnace of the Juling Pill!
However, he was still not very optimistic about the progress of the cultivation of these two magical powers. The Five Elements Concealment Technique was better, after all, it could be cultivated during the Foundation Establishment Period.
With his own spiritual roots and talents, as well as occasional guidance from his master, he is now proficient in performing the Five Elements Concealment Technique in a simple manner.
He used the Five Elements power in the external environment to communicate the Five Elements spiritual power in his Dantian meridians, reaching a level of integration into the environment and silence.
This magical power can also be controlled and changed according to different environments. For example, in a lava area, it is full of strong and violent fire spirit. In that case, the fire spirit should be highlighted. The fire attribute in the Five Elements Concealment Technique should be strengthened, so that it can better blend into the surrounding environment.
The highest level of hiding is not to hide oneself, but to blend into it. The Five Elements Concealment Technique is such a concealment magical power.
This is relatively easy to practice. After all, he has met the prerequisites for practicing this magical power.
However, he cannot formally start practicing the Divine Mind True Thunder for the time being.
First, he must use the Chongming Beast to refine all or part of the remaining swallowed Divine Mind Thunder Tribulation power and the power of the Heart Demon.
Only with a foundation of cultivation can one officially begin to cultivate this magical power. Many things cannot be rushed, especially the cultivation of this divine thought thunder.
However, the competition for the quota of the three major countries is only three months away.
It is said that this competition will last for half a month, and the remaining time is for the cultivators participating in the competition to recuperate, so as to avoid accidents during the transmission.
Ming Fanxing blinked.
"The competition for the quota will start in three months."
Then he definitely needs to participate in the assessment of the Alchemist Association now. Of course, there will be no problem. After all, whether it is the second-level marrow cleansing pill or the spirit gathering pill, he can refine it.
It's just... he hasn't started learning to refine the foundation-building pill yet!
He boasted to himself before that he would definitely learn to refine the foundation-building pill within three years, and then go to the Alchemist Association to pass the assessment by refining the foundation-building pill and astonish everyone.
But now he hasn't started to get in touch with the foundation-building pill yet, maybe it's a bit too late? Or should he go to the Hangu Continent first?
Just when he was a little anxious and didn't know whether to get in touch with the foundation-building pill in advance or put it aside, Shuang Baiyu spoke.
"Disciple, go to him to learn now."
He was referring to Duan Chongbei. For Ming Fanxing, the disciples he recognized could only have him as a master. As for other people, how could they be qualified to enjoy the same generation as him?
Although Duan Chongbei was Ming Fanxing's mentor in refining pills, that was all.
It would be great if he could also refine pills.
Ming Fanxing was puzzled, "Master?"
Usually, the master was very aloof, and rarely spoke unless there was a real problem, so he had no chance to chat with the master.
It was really hard to find anything to talk about.
After all, he was talking about alchemy, but the master... probably had no interest.
"This... If I go to learn it now, I can only find Brother Duan, but is he really willing to take out his own foundation-building period herbs for me to practice with?"
He secretly inquired about it. The academy did not allow the purchase of spiritual herbs for refining foundation-building pills directly, and only accepted a third-grade foundation-building pill in exchange.
In fact, the three main herbs for refining foundation-building pills in his space have all been gathered together and matured. Although they are not too old, the efficacy of the medicine will be discounted, but it is absolutely no problem to use them for practice.
But these cannot be taken out, and the most important thing is that he does not have the recipe for the foundation-building pill at this time. Although the three main medicines are amazing, the auxiliary medicines...
Shuang Baiyu, "The last time you met him, I had already discovered that his consciousness was far inferior to yours."
The implication is that even if he is inexperienced, Ming Fanxing can still rely on his consciousness and the advantages of the Chongming beast to successfully refine the foundation-building pill.
Even if the quality of the pill refined at the beginning is not good, it will definitely not take too much time for Ming Fanxing to gradually figure out the skills of refining the foundation-building pill.
Ming Fanxing actually has some such ideas in his heart, but he is not as optimistic as Shuang Baiyu, after all, this is a foundation-building pill.
It's not any other elixir. Duan Chongbei values the foundation-building elixir so much that it must be very difficult for him.
However... if he refines the second-level marrow cleansing elixir and the spirit-gathering elixir now, there won't be much progress in the short term, so he still has to refine the more difficult foundation-building elixir.
This is the way to go in the elixir cultivation path. The more challenging the elixir is, the faster the advancement speed will be, so he has to constantly refine new and more difficult elixirs, and needs to constantly collect elixir recipes and spiritual plants.
And now, he really can only find Duan Chongbei, hoping that he can teach him how to refine the foundation-building pill.
Ming Fanxing got up and left the cave, going to find Duan Chongbei.
He came to Danxiang Pavilion with ease and asked where Wanhu Duan Chongbei was. Unexpectedly, he was on the second floor. Ming Fanxing hurried to the second floor to look for him.
Duan Chongbei sent a message, "Junior Brother Fanxing, just come in."
Ming Fanxing pushed the door open and walked in, "Brother Duan, please don't blame me, I have something to ask you."
He walked to Duan Chongbei's side and sat cross-legged, "Brother Duan..."
Duan Chongbei smiled and nodded, "Are you here for the foundation-building pill?"
Ming Fanxing nodded a little ashamed.
"That's true. I wonder if Senior Brother Duan can..."
Duan Chongbei waved his hand. "It's okay. I've been waiting for you. I didn't expect you to really come. There are less than five months left before the teleportation array is opened. I wonder if you have confidence in yourself."
Ming Fanxing's eyes were firm.
"Don't worry, brother. Since I'm here, I have some confidence in my heart."
Duan Chongbei nodded, "That's very good."
"However... I can only give you the recipe and the spiritual herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. The more I can give you, the more I can tell you about some things you need to pay attention to when refining the pill, and some techniques that are not very personal."
"If you want to know more, there is nothing I can do."
Duan Chongbei looked at him, "For example, when you just start to refine the first-level pill, asking you to use your spiritual consciousness to observe is completely impossible."
"After all, even I can't successfully refine the Foundation Establishment Pill under interference."
"To be honest, refining the Foundation Establishment Pill... the most I can do is to refine some second-grade pills. As for the third-grade pills, it all depends on luck."
"The only disciples in the academy who can apply for third-grade foundation-building pills are those who happened to have stocks in the academy. I usually refine the third-grade pills and occasionally buy them from the alchemy master."
"If the third-grade Foundation Establishment Pills are not enough, then the academy disciples will have no choice but to take the second-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, or continue to wait."
He sighed, a little dissatisfied with himself, "In the final analysis, it would be great if I could refine more third-grade Foundation Establishment Pills."
Ming Fanxing shook his head, "Senior Brother
Duan does not need to belittle himself." "As a foundation-building elixir cultivator, being able to become a second-order or third-grade pill is already very good, not to mention the fact that you can refine Foundation Establishment Pills."
"In other people's words, with such ability, even in the Hangu Continent, he would be a top-ranked alchemist!"
Duan Chongbei laughed, "Not bad, not bad, otherwise... Forget it, let's not talk about the past."
Although he was in a good mood, he didn't continue talking. After adjusting his mood a little, he took out a jade slip and handed it to him, "Here is the recipe for the foundation-building pill. You can check it when you have time."
Then he ignored him and started to tell Ming Fanxing in detail all the things that need to be paid attention to when refining and making the foundation-building pill. It
took Duan Chongbei a full ten days just to talk about these things!
He didn't just talk about it once, he talked about it over and over again, and asked questions from time to time. Fortunately, Ming Fanxing remembered it very clearly and answered it in detail and accurately every time.
Ten days later, Duan Chongbei was satisfied to let Ming Fanxing go only after he confirmed that Ming Fanxing had really remembered everything he said.
After a few more days of nagging, Duan Chongbei finally took out three portions of spiritual herbs for refining the Foundation Building Pill and handed them to him.
"There are three portions in total. You can take them back and practice first. Remember, the spiritual herbs for refining the Foundation Building Pill are not abundant even in the academy, so don't waste them."
Ming Fanxing nodded solemnly, "Brother Duan, don't worry, I won't waste these precious spiritual herbs."
Duan Chongbei knew Ming Fanxing's attitude towards refining the pill, and he was very serious. Although he felt a little painful to take out three portions of spiritual herbs, he hoped that Ming Fanxing would not let him down.
