Chapter 87 Path
Chapter 87 Path
When Chen Yuan left Lingyun Market, he put on a bamboo hat to cover his face and his clothes were no different from those of a casual cultivator.
Although it is impossible for the Huang family to know his whereabouts in Lingyun Market, it cannot be ruled out that Huang Linye sent people to wait outside the mountain gate. In order to ensure that everything is safe, Chen Yuan will not reveal any flaws.
He used the art of lightness to run all the way without stopping.
Two days later, the wall of cloud connecting the sky and the earth was seen again.
After his identity was verified by the disciple guarding the mountain gate passage, Chen Yuan finally returned to the mountain gate.
He felt the long-lost rich spiritual energy and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, there is still nearly a year and a half before the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is opened.
The magic tools and talismans have been prepared. All that is needed is to refine some soul-restoring pills and find out some information about Dongxu Mountain. Then everything will be ready, except for the east wind.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan did not return to the cave, but drove the flying boat towards Xiangguang Peak.
The refining of Fuling Pill is difficult, one furnace takes ten days, and the success rate is only 30%.
It is better to collect all the magical medicines as soon as possible and start refining the elixir.
And this matter still depends on Mo Jingchun.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan arrived at Xiangguang Peak and landed in front of Mo Jingchun's cave.
He took out his identity jade token, activated the restrictions on the cave, transmitted a message inside, then stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
After a while, the forbidden light shield of the cave slowly melted away and the stone door opened.
Mo Jingchun walked out quickly and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Chen, long time no see. Is your trip going well?"
Chen Yuan bowed and saluted:
"Everything went smoothly. I also want to thank Senior Brother Mo for the bronze medal he gave me. Fellow Daoist Nie is very skilled and has repaired my magic weapon and restored its power."
"Haha!" Mo Jingchun laughed loudly, showing his rough and rude spirit. "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. I got the talisman and took advantage of my junior brother, so naturally I have to express my gratitude..."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the cave, and sat down as host and guest.
Mo Jingchun's cave was extremely simple, with only a bare stone table and a few stone chairs.
Mo Jingchun said apologetically:
"I don't have any spiritual tea or fruit in my cave. I'm sorry for not treating you well. Junior brother, please forgive me."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly:
"It's okay. We cultivators eat wind and drink dew, inhale qi and fast. Why do we need this thing?"
Mo Jingchun smiled and asked:
"When did Junior Brother come back?"
"I will be back today."
"Oh? Junior Brother, you came to look for me right after you returned to the sect. Is there something wrong?"
Chen Yuan bowed and said:
"Brother, you have a keen eye. I want to refine a kind of elixir. I need the hundred-year-old spiritual herb purple-leaf lotus as the main ingredient. There are only a few of them in Lingyun Market. I can't find them. I can only return to the sect. I wonder if you have any help?"
Mo Jingchun frowned:
"The hundred-year-old spiritual medicine in the sect is only produced from the spiritual medicine garden. The sect is very closely watching it. I haven't taken any medicinal pills for a long time, so I don't have any connections."
Chen Yuan showed disappointment on his face:
"I was greedy. I wanted to refine more Soul-Restoring Pills so that I could have more confidence in my trip to Dongxu Mountain... Well, one bottle of Soul-Restoring Pills should be enough."
A hint of surprise flashed across Mo Jingchun's eyes:
"Resilience Pill? Junior Brother can actually make this kind of pill?"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly:
"I was lucky enough to buy the recipe for the Fuling Pill in Lingyun Market and refined a bottle of Fuling Pill. Brother, please take a look."
As he spoke, he stroked his storage bag, took out a jade bottle, raised his hand and sent it, and the jade bottle slowly flew in front of Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun grabbed the jade bottle, opened the jade stopper, poured out a pill of rejuvenating spirit, and examined it carefully.
"It is indeed the Soul-Restoring Pill..."
Mo Jingchun murmured, put the Fuling Pill back into the jade bottle, and handed it back to Chen Yuan. He lowered his head slightly, looking thoughtful.
Chen Yuan quietly put away the jade bottle and waited for the next words. The Soul-Replenishing Pill played a huge role in the trip to Dongxu Mountain, and he didn't believe that Mo Jingchun would not be tempted.
After a while, Mo Jingchun raised his head and said:
"Junior brother, what is your success rate in refining the Soul-Restoring Pill?"
Chen Yuan said frankly:
"Thirty percent."
Mo Jingchun was surprised and said:
"Junior brother's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. The Soul-Restoring Pill requires hundred-year-old spiritual herbs as the main ingredient, yet it still has a 30% success rate."
"What's the point of having a high success rate? Without the Purple Leaf Lotus, I can't make a single Soul Restoring Pill."
Mo Jingchun smiled:
"If I can find the purple-leaf lotus, after I refine the Soul-Restoring Pill, can you give me some?"
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up:
"That's right. I have prepared the other spiritual medicines. I am just waiting for the purple-leaf lotus so that I can start refining the elixir. As long as you can find the purple-leaf lotus, I will split the soul-restoring elixir with you. How do you think?"
Mo Jingchun nodded:
"Okay! Then it's settled. Junior brother, please go back home first. Three days later, I will bring the purple leaf lotus to find you."
Chen Yuan bowed and said:
"Then I will wait for good news from my senior brother."
……
Three days later, Mo Jingchun came to Chen Yuan's cave and took out six purple-leaf lotuses.
Chen Yuan immediately entered the Earth Fire Hall and started refining the elixir.
Two months later, he came to Xiangguang Peak and gave nine Fuling Pills to Mo Jingchun, and kept ten for himself.
When he was refining the last batch of Restoring Soul Pills, the success rate increased to 40%, and he refined a total of 19 Restoring Soul Pills.
Chen Yuan didn't expect that his success rate would increase by 10% after he only refined ten batches of Fuling Pills.
"Zhang Family Alchemy Essentials" calls the Fuling Pill, which requires hundred-year-old spiritual herbs as the main ingredient, a quasi-foundation-building pill, and it is extremely difficult to refine.
A 30% success rate in making pills is already very good.
A 40% success rate in making pills can only be achieved by the top alchemists, and there is great hope of reaching the level of a master alchemist.
After Chen Yuan refined the last batch of Fuling Pills, he was quite excited, but he calmed down after a while.
He wants to become a master of alchemy, which is extremely difficult.
Mo Jingchun was familiar with Yi Jin and had extensive connections, but he could only get six purple-leaf lotus plants.
To refine a furnace of foundation-building pills, one needs three or four different kinds of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.
The Alchemy Pavilion would never distribute hundred-year-old spiritual herbs to individual alchemists. Chen Yuan had no chance to practice, so it would be difficult for him to become a master alchemist.
Fortunately, he has the jade beads in his hand, which can continuously draw starlight into his body, and his spiritual awareness continues to grow. With the help of Mo Jingchun to secretly collect spiritual herbs, sooner or later, he will become a master of alchemy.
But this method is too time-consuming and will take at least a dozen years.
And even if he became a master of alchemy, he would have no hope of building a foundation.
The sect would only give the alchemy master one foundation-building pill, but Chen Yuan was a cultivator with five spiritual roots and had extremely poor aptitude. It was impossible for him to successfully build a foundation with just one foundation-building pill.
The only way is to collect as many spiritual herbs as possible in Dongxu Mountain and exchange them for two more Foundation Establishment Pills.
The Lingyun Sect did not treat its disciples harshly in this matter. After all, some of the disciples who entered through the Ascension Conference were cultivators from immortal cultivation families.
They were not qualified enough to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in their family, and due to the rules of the Lingyun Sect, they could not enter directly.
One can only enter a sect through the Ascension Conference and go to the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to fight for a chance to build a foundation.
The foundation-building cultivators in the sect who came from immortal cultivation families would naturally not treat them harshly, and even the independent cultivators who entered the sect would benefit from it.
As long as you search for a certain number of spiritual herbs, you can exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills, there is no upper limit.
Three hundred years ago, a disciple exchanged five foundation-building pills before he succeeded in building his foundation, which caused a sensation.
This is Chen Yuan’s only hope. If he still cannot successfully build his foundation, his journey will come to an end.
I overestimated myself, I write very slowly, and I posted it late, sorry.
