Chapter 97 [(*^▽^*)]

Then the preciousness of the middle-grade spiritual treasure can really be said that only the cultivators in the foundation-building stage are qualified to use it, or have the ability to use it.

But the two just now were indeed in the Qi Condensation Great Yuanman, not in the foundation-building stage, otherwise how could they survive?

He calmed down secretly and picked up the black small shield engraved with the turtle shell pattern and looked at it again and again.

Appraisal: Low-grade spiritual treasure fine iron shield.

Ming Fanxing put the fine iron shield aside and took a deep breath, "Xiaofeng, the identities of the two Qi Condensation Great Perfection monks we just killed may not be simple."

Ming Yufeng blinked, "Not simple...what should we do?"

Ming Fanxing suddenly grinned at him, "What else can we do? We have killed them, can we resurrect them?"

"That is... there may be some troubles in the future, but we can go to the imperial city after waiting for some time. Can they still go to the imperial city to cause us trouble?"

Ming Yufeng thought it made sense.

"Be more careful next time."

Ming Fanxing nodded, "I know, let's take a look at the storage bag first, it looks gray and inconspicuous, but there is about one cubic meter of space inside, which is enough for us to use."

He handed one over casually, Ming Yufeng took it and imprinted his consciousness on it, and then put the four flying spirit swords into the storage bag.

Ming Fanxing handed the fine iron shield to him, "This is for you, I'll take that sword, that sword is of fire attribute, you can't use it, this is a mid-grade spiritual treasure, I still got a big bargain!"

Ming Yufeng was about to refuse but didn't say it, and took the fine iron shield.

Ming Fanxing put the middle-grade spiritual treasure lava sword and the four flying spiritual swords in. Now there are only jade slips, two bottles of elixirs and those low-grade spiritual stones left.

Ming Yufeng suddenly said, "I shouldn't use these two stones."

The implication is that he wants Ming Fanxing to accept them.

Ming Fanxing glanced at him, "You really can't use the low-grade water spiritual stone and the low-grade fire spiritual stone, but this thing is money for a cultivator, you can use it to buy other things from others."

He took two of them casually, and then pushed all the remaining spiritual stones in front of Ming Yufeng, "That's it, this is money, you can use it in the future, you dare to refuse it and try it?"

Ming Yufeng blinked.

He didn't dare to refuse, so he took it and put it in his storage bag.

Seeing that he accepted it, Ming Fanxing happily put her things into the storage bag, and in the end there were only these two bottles of pills.

"This bottle is Zhenyuan Pill, I don't know about this one."

"Zhenyuan Pill? Is it Zhenqi Pill? I saw someone in the martial arts hall buying one before, one Zhenqi Pill for one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"And I saw that Zhenqi Pill only had one halo on it, but this one has two."

At this point, Ming Yufeng looked at Ming Fanxing very seriously, "But... no matter what kind of pill it is, you should not take it randomly. I heard that after taking Zhenqi Pill, something will block the meridians, just like the rumors about Senior Brother Qin spread by someone in the martial arts hall before."

Ming Fanxing nodded and picked up the jade slip, "This jade slip records the introduction to alchemy. I'll take a quick look at it. I should know it after I finish reading it. You wait."

Ming Yufeng waited obediently, while Ming Fanxing kept checking the contents of the jade slip. About half an hour later, Ming Fanxing withdrew his consciousness.

"So that's how it is."

Ming Yufeng came over, "Fanxing?"

Ming Fanxing glanced at him and then said, "Actually, the path of cultivation for cultivators is inseparable from elixirs, but elixirs can also be divided into good and bad ones. They are divided into five grades from low to high according to the amount of elixir poison, from grade one to grade five, and above them are the legendary top-grade elixirs. Grade one is the worst, and top-grade is the best."

"And the Qi Pill that you mentioned before that cost 100,000 taels of silver is actually a first-grade Zhenyuan Pill. The one with only one halo is a first-grade pill, and it is also the worst pill, containing the most elixir poison."

"Elixir poison? Is this the kind of thing that can block the meridians?"

Ming Fanxing nodded, "Yes, the lower the grade of the pill, the more elixir poison it contains. Generally speaking, no cultivator would be willing to eat it."

"But... pills are not something you can choose not to take if you want to. After all, when you are trying to break through the bottleneck, a cultivator who was originally going to fail might succeed after taking a pill. Moreover, some of the pill poison will be excreted when the cultivator breaks through."

"Of course, taking pills will cause pill poison, but there are pills that can eliminate the pill poison, and that is the Marrow Cleansing Pill, this bottle."

Ming Fanxing picked up the jade bottle containing the second-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill and shook it, then casually put it on the ground.

Ming Yufeng looked at the two bottles of pills and asked, "These two bottles of pills are second-grade pills, can they be taken?"

Ming Fanxing shook her head, "Absolutely not."

Ming Yufeng, "Cannot be taken? First-grade pills are very toxic, so second-grade pills should be less?"

Ming Fanxing sighed, "Although second-grade pills are much less toxic than first-grade pills, it is only relatively speaking."

"And although this bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill is also second-grade, it doesn't have much effect. According to what is said in the jade slip, although the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a pill that clears the accumulated poison in the body, it is also a pill itself. If you take it, you will also have poison."

"So after taking this Marrow Cleansing Pill, a large part of the medicinal power is needed to dissolve the poison it carries, and only a small part is used to dissolve the poison in the meridians."

"If we calculate it based on the price of a second-grade Zhenyuan Pill, you'll need to take more than a dozen second-grade Xisui Pills to neutralize the poison from one second-grade Zhenyuan Pill. Don't you think that's cheap?"

Ming Yufeng was surprised. "More than a dozen?"

Ming Fanxing nodded. "So Xisui Pills can only be sold at a high price when they are of the third grade. If you use a third-grade Xisui Pill to neutralize the poison from a second-grade Zhenyuan Pill, you only need two or three."

"If it is a third-grade Zhenyuan Pill with poison, then only a third-grade Xisui Pill is needed. In other words, when taking pills, if you take a third-grade Zhenyuan Pill and then take a third-grade Xisui Pill, the poison will basically not attach to the meridians."

Ming Yufeng looked at the two small medicine bottles, "Are third-grade pills very rare?"

Ming Fanxing nodded, "It is indeed very difficult. Pills are made by alchemists, and to become an alchemist, you must first have a fire spirit root, so that you can start making pills from the Qi Condensation Stage."

"Being an alchemist is not a simple profession."

Ming Fanxing couldn't help but sigh.

"If the pills refined are first-grade pills, normally no one would want them. No cultivator would eat first-grade Zhen Yuan pills. They are only sold to people who don't know about cultivation and let them buy them with money."

Just like the Zhen Qi pills that appeared in Jinzhou City before.

"And the medicinal power of the first-grade cleansing marrow pill is not even enough to eliminate the poison in the pill itself. If taken, it will even add more poison to the meridians!"

"Which alchemist can refine a second-grade or even a third-grade pill right from the start? First-grade pills can only be sold for silver, but how can the medicinal materials used to refine the pills be bought with silver?"

He pointed to the storage bag, "All of them can only be bought with spirit stones."

Then he frowned slightly, "In other words, alchemists are basically losing money in the early stages, a huge loss!"

"So to become an alchemist, the initial investment is really huge, unless... there is a backstage, such an alchemist can develop proficient alchemy skills through constant trial and error."

Ming Fanxing stretched his waist, "Of course, if you can make a third-grade elixir, you will really have made it."

"By the way, the jade slip also says that only alchemists who can make third-grade elixirs can join the Alchemist Association and enjoy the benefits of the Alchemist Association!"

Ming Yufeng widened his eyes, a little yearning, "Alchemist Association? Fanxing, don't you have a fire spiritual root? This Alchemist Association seems very powerful, do you want to try it?"

Ming Fanxing touched his chin thoughtfully. To become an alchemist, possessing a fire spiritual root is only the most basic condition.

There must also be a medicine cauldron for refining pills, and there must also be spiritual medicine for refining pills!

He has nothing but a fire spiritual root, so although he also yearns to be an alchemist, it is not something he can think of now.

"This... let's talk about it after we go to the Imperial City. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to become an alchemist in Jinzhou City."

In this introduction to alchemy, in addition to some basic knowledge about large pills, there are also recipes for Zhenyuan Pills and first-level Xisui Pills, which are all pills that can be taken during the Condensation Stage.

He also found the reason why the first-level second-grade Xisui Pill that was identified before was called this way in the jade slip.

All other pills are unique, such as Zhenyuan Pills, which are special pills for the Condensation Stage, but Xisui Pills are different. Cultivators of any realm must take pills.

After taking the elixir, there will be elixir poison. If there is elixir poison, you must take the marrow cleansing pill to dissolve it, so the marrow cleansing pill is taken by all cultivators of all realms.

The marrow cleansing pill taken in the Qi Condensation Stage is the first-level marrow cleansing pill, the second-level marrow cleansing pill taken in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the third-level marrow cleansing pill taken in the Golden Elixir Stage.

Although they are all called marrow cleansing pills, the medicinal materials required for each level of marrow cleansing pills are different, and the difficulty of refining is also geometrically increasing.

The grade of the alchemist is also calculated according to the grade and grade. For example, if you refine a first-level first-grade marrow cleansing pill, you are a first-level first-grade alchemist.

By analogy, if you refine a first-level third-grade marrow cleansing pill or a true essence pill, you can become a first-level third-grade alchemist.

The Alchemist Association only recognizes alchemists above the third level. They do not recognize any first or second level alchemists.

As for the elixirs used in the foundation-building period, they are second-level elixirs.

If a first-level alchemist wants to upgrade to a second-level alchemist, he must become a first-level third-level alchemist when he is at the first level. Only then will he be qualified to accept the test and examination. The test is to refine second-level third-level elixirs. After successfully passing it, he can become a second-level third-level alchemist.
