Chapter 50: Attack on the Challenge Xu Hui looked at her sadly, "No..."
Xu Hui looked at her sadly, "Can't you just let me dream again?"
Wait! That's not right!
"If I can't grow the herbs for both kinds of pills, then I can focus on one of them and exchange it for top-grade spirit stones, right?"
For example, the top-grade rejuvenation pill is only slightly worse than bringing the dead back to life. As long as the patient is not dead, it can be cured. She doesn't believe that those people don't want it!
Wei Mubai shook his head. "If there's only one possibility, the aristocratic family will choose a conservative approach and won't send a large number of people to explore the secret realm. The most likely approach is to send a small group first to understand the situation inside, and then spend thousands of years slowly exploring. This way, they can gain certain opportunities while also preserving the family's strength."
The same was done for other secret realms. After thousands or tens of thousands of years of exploration, those secret realms were gradually developed.
The reason why Wei Mubai was so aggressive this time was that he had the top-grade rejuvenation pills and qi-replenishing pills as a backup, which made him so confident!
"In that case, they won't spend more top-grade spirit stones to buy top-grade pills, only two or three at most."
In this case, they will not only lose a lot of spirit stones, but will also have to pay a lot.
After all, to set up a time formation that accelerates the growth of spiritual plants, one needs at least twelve top-grade spiritual stones, and the time it can accelerate is at most a hundred years.
However, some spiritual plants take hundreds of years to grow, and only one kind of spiritual plant can be planted within the time formation. After all, each spiritual plant takes a different amount of time to mature. If you stop halfway, the remaining immature medicinal plants will lose their vitality.
Fortunately, the Rejuvenation Pill and the Qi Replenishing Pill are relatively basic recipes, and the longest time required is a hundred years.
If it's that kind of precious elixir recipe that requires spiritual plants that are thousands of years old, then forget it. Planting just one kind requires hundreds of spiritual stones, which no family can afford.
Xu Hui's face suddenly fell, her hope of getting rich quickly was shattered again, what a miserable life!
Her heart felt so cold. It turned out that people shouldn't have excessive expectations of themselves. She was not destined to become rich overnight in this life.
But she was unwilling to give up. She once had a true treasure in front of her, but she did not cherish it. Until now, her heart still aches.
"How about I try harder?" If he could advance to the great perfection of foundation building within three years, the points would definitely be enough.
Or, could she try to game the system and get a loan or something?
If it really doesn't work, try a little harder and see if there are other ways to earn points besides improving your cultivation.
"No!" Wei Mubai's face darkened and he looked at her seriously. "Your cultivation level is improving too quickly, which is not a good thing! It's best to settle down for a few years, otherwise it will be detrimental to your future development!"
The foundation-building period is not the Qi-training period. After officially embarking on the path to immortality, cultivation, state of mind, and comprehension are all indispensable. Spiritual power can be accumulated with resources, but some things cannot be truly understood without the polishing of time.
However, if one tries to comprehend the things that need to be understood during the foundation-building stage in the golden elixir stage, there will be a loss in the state of mind, which will be difficult to make up for.
"Oh, okay then," Xu Hui said dejectedly. Compared with cultivation and spirit stones, cultivation is of course more important.
Seeing her like this, Wei Mubai's eyes flashed with a smile, "There's no need to be so depressed. Since I brought it up, there must be a way to solve it!"
"Huh?" Xu Hui looked at him resentfully, "So you're teasing me?"
Wei Mubai was amused by her resentful expression and couldn't help but pat her forehead with his hand. "Of course not. I've been thinking about this method for a long time, but it's all theoretical. It's still very difficult to actually do it! Very difficult!"
His emphasis piqued Xu Hui's curiosity. "What's the solution?"
How difficult could it be that it stumped Wei Mubai, a natural Taoist and a talented alchemist?
"Modify the recipe!" Wei Mubai said.
Xu Hui was shocked. No, it’s not that fierce?
It is already extremely difficult to refine top-grade elixirs. In addition to requiring top-grade spiritual plants, the various conditions are even more harsh.
For example, the spiritual roots required are special, and spiritual power with any attributes cannot be injected during refining. Wei Mubai meets this requirement perfectly.
For example, the choice of an alchemy furnace requires special fire, the place for alchemy also has certain conditions, etc. In short, it is very, very difficult.
In order to meet these conditions, the alchemist must be extremely capable and be able to precisely control every detail without any omissions, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted.
Such harsh conditions naturally require an unimaginable amount of medicinal materials, and the success rate may be less than one in ten thousand.
This is when the recipe for the pill is complete, but Wei Mubai actually said that he wanted to modify the recipe and reduce a few ingredients?
Are you crazy?!
"Let's just forget it," Xu Hui chuckled. "No matter how skilled I am at planting, I can't stand up to what you're doing!"
Is it easy for her to grow those perfect quality medicinal herbs?
In addition to spending points and top-grade spirit stones, she also needs constant care and careful feeding, which requires countless efforts. How can he just let her ruin it?
It's easy to imagine that refining top-grade pills is already very demanding. Reducing the amount of medicinal materials will only make it even more difficult. The probability of success will be shockingly low, and the amount of wasted medicinal materials will increase exponentially.
She is a human being, really! Not a mechanical puppet. She can't afford to waste time, really can't afford to waste time!
Wei Mubai smiled slightly, "I have modified the recipes of these two kinds of elixirs and refined them. The finished products are better than the original ones. They save medicinal materials and enhance the efficacy!"
"Oh," Xu Hui rolled her eyes, "but can a top-grade pill be the same as an ordinary pill?"
If you modify the recipe of an ordinary elixir, there are only ten problems that need to be considered and solved. But if you change it to a top-grade elixir, there are ten thousand problems. And one problem will affect the whole body. If one problem is not solved, or is not solved properly, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
With such complex and demanding conditions, it would be difficult for Wei Mubai to achieve it even if he was a genius, right?
That's it...it would be better for her to think of a way to improve her cultivation!
However, Wei Mubai only intends to be strict with himself and does not allow Xu Hui to make sacrifices.
This love made her speechless.
Although he had an ulterior motive in being nice to her in the beginning, it was hard not to be moved by his dedication to her immortal path!
Xu Hui could imagine how much effort Wei Mubai would have to put into modifying the recipe for the top-grade elixir, but even if he worked hard, it might not succeed.
"Is it really necessary to do so?" In fact, it is possible to explore the secret realm slowly. Isn't this how aristocratic families have always developed?
Things will be better if you take it slow, so why rush it, right?
Wei Mubai lowered his head slightly and stared into her eyes, her appearance reflected in his pupils, "Are you worried about me?"
"Uh," Xu Hui looked away, feeling a little embarrassed. "Shouldn't I be worried?"
At least they are still an engaged couple. Even if not, she can't remain indifferent to his kindness to her, right?
Her honesty was like the first flower that bloomed unexpectedly in spring. It was unadorned, yet it touched the softest part of Wei Mubai's heart in the most direct way.
At that moment, the lines on his face seemed to soften a little, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by indescribable tenderness.
A smile slowly bloomed on his lips, like the long-lost winter sunshine penetrating the thick clouds and sprinkling on the white snow, instantly melting the surrounding coldness and making the whole world warm and bright.
This undisguised smile made Xu Hui slightly stunned, and her heart was beating fast. It was a little too beautiful.
No, she can't be too obsessed with her. If her heart starts beating again, it's going to jump out of her throat. What if it bursts out?
She could only cover her face, look away, and said awkwardly, "I, I didn't say anything wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
Wei Mubai paused, gently rubbed her head, and said softly, "Don't worry, I know my limits. I will do my best and leave the rest to fate."
Xu Hui's emotions were so turbulent that she couldn't think about anything else. She said "oh" and quickly changed the subject, "Well, I'll start preparing when I get back. What's the next game?"
"Ring match," Wei Mubai glanced at her and found that her soft earlobe was pinched red by herself, so he paused.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand and stroke it with his spiritual power. It was like a breeze blowing, and it immediately returned to its original state, as if his heart had never felt anything unusual.
"Another ring match?" I thought it was a one-on-one match, but it turned out to be a melee.
"Ten of us will defend the arena, and the rest of the cultivators above the Golden Core Stage and below the Nascent Soul Stage can attack. Victory will be determined by the number of people defeated."
"I thought I could see you and Mu Yuan compete, what a pity," Xu Hui said regretfully.
"We are too familiar with each other to compare anything," Wei Mubai said lightly. They were both outstanding young people from aristocratic families. Not only did they know each other since childhood, they also knew each other's moves clearly.
One match cannot determine the outcome between them at all, unless someone cheats. However, everyone has a lot of magical weapons at hand. If they really fight, it may not be finished in ten days and ten nights, and it is easy to hurt the harmony.
"Okay, so what if you lose in the ring?"
"The positions are reversed, and the winner becomes the champion! The ranking is still based on the number of people he defeated."
"Do you have to stay in the ring the whole time? No breaks?"
"No."
"That's not fair. If someone doesn't participate in the competition from the beginning and saves their strength until the final challenge, wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all? And it's not fair to make you stay on the stage and defend the ring the whole time!"
Wei Mubai looked down at her, and seeing her indignant, he explained, "The loser of the challenge must join the winner's family."
"So that's it!" Xu Hui suddenly realized that he was waiting here!
She said that the reason why the Tianjiao Competition could recruit talents for the family was that anyone who went on stage to challenge was willing to join the family after being defeated.
Then for the attacker, it is not endless.
They could only choose one family: either win and become one of the final ten, or lose and join the winner's family.
This is not a defense at all, it is clearly a process of both sides testing their strength.
If the winning method is calculated based on the number of people recruited, it would be reasonable.
However, this approach is really hard. You have to fight non-stop in the ring. Not only do you have to defeat the attackers, but you also have to compete with other champions. If you want to have more people than them, you can only persist.
This is destined to be an extremely tough battle. We must persevere to the end. It is not only a test of strength, but also of endurance and determination!
