Chapter 257 Ancient Treasures and Magic Pills
"Tianlan Peak is indeed rich in spiritual energy today. I'm afraid it already possesses fourth-level spiritual veins!"
Chu Ning had just landed on Tianlan Peak and immediately noticed the difference between this place and Lingyan Peak.
Then he went straight to the only cave in this peak.
Compared with Lingyan Peak, this cave is five or six times larger.
"It just so happens that Da Jin and Xiao Jin are getting bigger and bigger. The spirit beast room was a bit small before, but they can live more spaciously here."
Chu Ning raised his head and glanced at the two golden thunder eagles.
In more than half a year, the two eagles seem to have grown bigger again, and they are really only one step away from being promoted to the fourth level monster beast.
This little guy Ling Xiaobai is not very good at it. He is about to be promoted to the fifth level monster and become a being comparable to a golden elixir monk.
But there was still no sign of growing in size, which confused Chu Ning.
Generally speaking, during the growth process of spiritual beasts, their bodies will also undergo certain changes.
Except for the addition of a tail when the little guy entered the second level, his appearance has not changed so far.
Falling into this cave, Chu Ning found that the formations inside were much more advanced than the formations Cen Zijin gave him.
Both the defensive restraint and the spirit gathering effect are more than one level higher.
In this case, Chu Ning naturally stopped moving on this formation.
Then we started to make some simple modifications to the cave, except for adding more spirit beast rooms.
Chu Ning also built a special alchemy and weapon refining room.
He has now successfully formed elixirs. Even without earth fire, he can still use elixir fire to refine elixirs and magic weapons.
Even those advanced elixirs must be refined with the help of elixir fire.
After completing the renovation of the cave, Chu Ning went straight to the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
He had already thought about refining the Five Elements Sword Formation before and asked the Weapon Refining Pavilion to help prepare the materials in advance.
Before forming the elixir, Su Yuqing sent word to Cui Rongrong that the materials were ready.
Chu Ning was ready to get it after completing the transformation and tempering of the mana.
Unexpectedly, the elixir was formed immediately, and it was not taken back.
In addition, Chu Ning also needs Ge Liuyang's help.
Chu Ning flew all the way towards the Weapon Refining Pavilion, and Ge Liuyang felt Chu Ning's aura from far away.
Ge Liuyang, who was discussing things with Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong, suddenly smiled and said:
"Go and greet him outside the pavilion. Your Uncle Chu is here. He must be taking the weapon refining materials to refine the magic weapon."
"Uncle Chu!"
Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong were stunned at first, but soon realized that Ge Liuyang was talking about Chu Ning.
The two people's eyes couldn't help but become a little complicated.
Not long after Chu Ning entered Jiuhua Sect, several people went to the Black Dragon Pond and Wanxiang Cliff together.
Apart from the monks in the Alchemy Pavilion, he was the first group of monks in the sect to come into contact with Chu Ning.
Now, this senior brother Chu suddenly became a senior uncle, and they didn't even react to this title for a while.
When the two came to the Weapon Refining Pavilion, they saw Chu Ning jumping down from the golden thunder eagle.
He immediately bowed his hands and saluted:
"I've met Uncle Chu!"
When everyone called Elder Chu together before, Chu Ning didn't feel too much about it.
At this moment, Leng Buding was called Uncle Chu by two former friends, and Chu Ning suddenly felt a little strange.
However, he also knew that this was the default rule in the world of immortality. He did not go out of his way to ask the two of them to change their words, but smiled and said:
"Stop being so polite to me. Is Senior Brother Ge here? I just have something to ask him."
"Master uncle is in the pavilion." Cui Rongrong responded at this moment.
Chu Ningdang came to Ge Liuyang's training room under the guidance of the two men, but Lu Jiakang and Cui Rongrong did not follow.
Magical weapons are extremely important to a golden elixir cultivator, especially since Chu Ning is good at refining weapons, so what he is refining is naturally a natal magic weapon.
There are some things that are not necessarily convenient for them to listen to.
"These are the materials you told the government to prepare before."
As soon as Chu Ning entered the room, Ge Liuyang handed Chu Ning a pile of materials.
Then he asked with some curiosity:
"Junior brother, are you preparing to refine a natal magic weapon? But I see that the materials you want are quite complicated, and I can't figure out what kind of magic weapon you want to refine."
Ge Liuyang was indeed a little curious about the materials Chu Ning wanted. Chu Ning included materials with several properties.
Chu Ning did not hide anything at this moment and said directly:
"I am going to refine several spiritual swords in the Five Elements Sword Formation."
"Five Elements Sword Formation?" Upon hearing this, Ge Liuyang was a little surprised.
As the elder in charge of the Weapon Refining Pavilion within the sect, how could he not know about this set of magic weapons?
Combining the materials Chu Ning needed, Ge Liuyang suddenly said:
"This sword formation is very capable of refining. Junior brother, it seems that you are going to refine the three-attribute spiritual sword of wood, fire and earth first."
"Not bad!" Chu Ning nodded at this moment.
"When I came here this time, I wanted to ask Senior Brother Ge for a favor."
With that said, Chu Ning took out the black chain made of black black gold from the storage bag.
"I would like to ask senior brother to use the inherited treasure in the pavilion to help me take out three sections of this black gold."
Chu Ning knew that in the Jiuhua Sect's Weapon Refining Pavilion, there was an inherited carving knife passed down from ancient times, which could cook gold and cut jade.
It seems that it is still a rare magic weapon.
However, this object is generally only used for refining weapons, and is only kept by each generation of weapon refining pavilion elders.
Even Chu Ning had never seen it before.
"Black Xuan Gold!"
Ge Liuyang was surprised at this moment.
"Junior brother, do you want to mix this black Xuan Gold into those spirit swords?"
When saying this, Ge Liuyang's tone was full of suspicion.
You know, more than ten years ago, he told Chu Ning that even he could not refine this black Xuan Gold.
Chu Ning nodded and said, "I am not sure, but I always want to give it a try. If it works, it would be best to mix some of it on the spirit sword.
If it doesn't work, then it's fine, other materials can also be refined."
In fact, what Chu Ning wanted most was to refine the spirit sword with this black Xuan Gold as the main body.
But Chu Ning is also a family member who knows his own business. He knows that his Dan Fire is probably stronger than that of an ordinary Jindan mid-stage cultivator.
However, it is impossible to refine the entire flying sword with this black Xuan Gold as the main body.
Now he can only use other materials as the main material, and then mix some black Xuan Gold into it to improve the quality of the flying sword.
Hearing this, Ge Liuyang nodded slightly.
Then he stretched out his hand, and a white knife appeared in his hand.
This knife was only two feet long, and the blade was cold. Even Chu Ning felt affected when he looked at it.
Chu Ning asked immediately:
"Brother Ge, what is this inheritance treasure? It feels to me that it is higher than the general magic weapon.
Is there any other treasure above this magic weapon?"
"This is indeed a treasure of higher level than the magic weapon." Ge Liuyang nodded.
"Nascent Soul cultivators call it ancient treasure or spiritual treasure, and even I don't know the details.
Perhaps only Nascent Soul cultivators like my uncle will know more clearly."
"Ancient treasure or spiritual treasure." Chu Ning muttered softly.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this cultivation is indeed endless.
He was able to break through the foundation building and form a pill successfully, which was already beyond the reach of many cultivators.
But the more he came into contact with things, the more he found that there were still more profound things that he had not mastered.
However, Chu Ning did not underestimate himself. He had only practiced for more than 40 years.
There was also a golden finger that could refresh his talent. Sooner or later, he would have the opportunity to come into contact with these mysterious things.
At this moment, Ge Liuyang took the cold knife and gently scratched the black Xuanjin.
Suddenly, a section of the black chain was cut off.
According to Chu Ning's instructions, Ge Liuyang cut off two more sections.
Then Chu Ning put the three sections of black Xuanjin, along with the rest of the refining materials, into the storage bag.
Ge Liuyang said at this time:
"Junior Brother Chu, you have never used Danhuo to refine magic weapons before. It just so happens that the sect intends to refine another magic weapon at this moment.
It is also a flying sword. How about you refine this magic weapon?"
Chu Ning was overjoyed when he heard it, and he immediately agreed.
It was a rare opportunity for Chu Ning to have such a chance to practice.
You know, even in Jiuhua Sect, it is not common to refine a magic weapon.
It often takes ten years to have such an opportunity.
Ten days later, Chu Ning came out of the Refining Pavilion with a complicated expression, and then flew to the Alchemy Pavilion again.
Recalling the process of refining the flying sword magic weapon these days, he kept muttering in his heart.
"Fortunately, I have the opportunity to practice first this time, otherwise I am afraid that my materials will be wasted."
Chu Ning never thought that the consumption of this magic weapon was so great.
In addition, he had just used the alchemy fire and had no experience.
With such a strong mana, when the flying sword was refined to 80% or 90%, it was difficult to continue.
Fortunately, Ge Liuyang was beside him and took over the refining, otherwise this refining would have failed directly.
But this is just an ordinary magic weapon, which can be refined by Ge Liuyang.
What Chu Ning wants to refine now is his own life magic weapon, so it cannot be refined by others.
Moreover, the spiritual swords required for the formation of the Five Elements Sword Formation must be refined by the Golden Core Fire of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra.
This requires Chu Ning to do it himself.
"If it is not mixed with the black and mysterious gold, I may have a better chance.
To mix with the black and mysterious gold, it is still too risky to refine it now."
The refining materials that Chu Ning has prepared over the years are hard to find, so he will naturally not take such a risk.
At this time, he has two choices. One is to practice for a few more years and wait until the magic power is more powerful and exquisite to refine.
The second is to prepare some elixirs that quickly replenish mana.
After some consideration, Chu Ning still chose the second path.
After all, it will not take long for the spiritual domain to be formed before the cultivators of various sects enter.
Without his life magic weapon, Chu Ning really does not have much confidence in fighting those cultivators in the middle or even late stage of the Golden Core.
After the magic weapon is refined, it must be nurtured by the natal soul and the power of the elixir.
If you don't prepare in advance, it will be too late to refine it when you enter.
So Chu Ning decided to refine a batch of elixirs suitable for him first, which can quickly replenish his mana.
In this way, it is also convenient for him to replenish his mana in time when he is refining the magic weapon.
Chu Ning's arrival at the Alchemy Pavilion inevitably caused a small sensation.
Many alchemists came forward to greet Chu Ning.
When He Yanmao, Yuan Rongzhang, Su Yuqing and others really met Chu Ning face to face, they were all full of emotion.
Especially Yuan Rongzhang, thinking about when Chu Ning first came to Jiuhua Sect, he repeatedly questioned and targeted him.
However, he didn't expect that the two of them were both in the middle stage of foundation building. After more than 20 years, although he has entered the late stage of foundation building for some time.
However, the matter of forming a pill is still a long way off.
Chu Ning has already become a golden pill elder.
Given the relationship between the two at this time, there is naturally no jealousy, but it is also impossible to say that he is not envious.
After Chu Ning exchanged greetings with everyone, he went straight to the alchemy pavilion where the pill formula was stored.
Since Chu Ning brought out many pill formula inheritances from the ruins of Wolong Valley, he has indeed learned a lot from them.
However, before, he still paid more attention to the pill formula used by himself as a late stage of foundation building cultivator, and he studied relatively less about the advanced pills used by golden pill cultivators.
At this moment, Chu Ning searched among many pill formulas and soon found several pill formulas that might meet his needs.
Finally, he fell on a pill called Xianlu Pill.
This pill is a high-grade middle-grade pill that can be used by Jindan cultivators to quickly replenish their pill power, especially for replenishing pill power consumed by using pill fire.
Chu Ning took the pill recipe and went to the Alchemy Pavilion to ask about the place where he received the spiritual medicine. Then his brows slightly frowned.
The main medicinal materials in this fairy dew pill are all available in the Alchemy Pavilion, such as Xingyue Flower, Zixia Fruit, Tianqing Grass, etc.
But the only important main ingredient of this pill, the fairy dew grass, is not available here.
In desperation, Chu Ning could only go directly to Ling Cang.
"Fairy dew grass? Junior brother wants to refine the fairy dew pill?"
Ling Cang was also quite surprised when he heard Chu Ning's words.
"Although this fairy dew pill has an excellent effect in restoring mana, the various spiritual medicines required are indeed not easy to find.
So after the sect sorted out this inherited pill recipe, it has not been refined yet.
The spiritual medicine of fairy dew grass is extremely rare, and I don't know where to get this spiritual medicine for a while."
Hearing Ling Cang's words, Chu Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.
At this time, Ling Cang continued to speak:
"Junior Brother Chu, why don't you go to Tianyin Pavilion with me in three months, maybe you will gain something."
"Tianyin Pavilion?" Chu Ning heard it, and when he was about to ask, Ling Cang continued:
"Tianyin Pavilion has always been on good terms with our sect. Their alchemy elder, Elder Xue, has many friends and is also close to me.
He invited a group of fellow Taoists to gather in Tianyin Pavilion in three months, including cultivators from Yunxiao League and other leagues.
By then, there should be a small transaction among Jindan cultivators, including some outstanding alchemists.
If Junior Brother Chu goes with me, maybe you will gain something."
After hearing this, Chu Ning understood the general idea and agreed immediately.
Chu Ning also knew that as his cultivation level improved, the resources he needed became more and more advanced.
If he relied entirely on Jiuhua Sect, he might not be able to supply them.
After all, most foundation-building cultivators obviously could not obtain the resources of Jindan cultivators.
Therefore, at the level of Jindan cultivators, bartering with cultivators of the same level is often easier to get what you need.
Ling Cang saw Chu Ning agreed, and smiled at this moment:
"This kind of internal trade fair for Jindan cultivators is often based on need.
Spiritual stones are of course used, but if there are precious items, it is easier to exchange for something.
Junior brother may need to prepare more. If not, you can also get some in the sect."
Chu Ning nodded slightly after hearing this, and he naturally knew this.
After leaving the Alchemy Pavilion and returning to Tianlan Peak, Chu Ning was also thinking about this matter.
The spiritual stones that Ling Cang said are not easy to exchange. Even if they are easy to exchange, he can no longer take out spiritual stones.
In the previous Jindan, Chu Ning almost spent all the spiritual stones on him, and now he is penniless.
"What I can show off is nothing more than making talismans, refining pills, and refining equipment. I can't produce a decent magic weapon for refining equipment, so it's probably useless in this situation.
As for refining pills, I seem to be able to try to refine some high-grade or medium-grade pills, which should be possible.
Making talismans..."
Thinking of this, Chu Ning quickly took out a talisman pen and some animal skin talisman papers of high grade from his storage bag.
These were obtained from the Jindan cultivator named Sun Shifan of the Daluo Sect in Wolong Valley.
Chu Ning was preparing to make talismans, but after thinking about it, he immediately shook his head.
These talismans may be the unique talismans of the Daluo Sect. If I draw them and trade them out like this, the Daluo Sect will naturally think that Sun Shifan died in my hands.
Although the people of the Daluo Sect have actually guessed that the group of Daluo Sect cultivators had an accident after encountering me and others.
But after all, there is no definite evidence.
It's better not to make trouble.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning flew towards the Collection Pavilion.
Among the many inheritances brought back from Wolong Valley, in addition to those from Jiuhua Sect, there are also many other sects.
Logically, there should be some talisman books.
Chu Ning was also thinking of finding another fire and earth spell to learn.
After all, since he couldn't refine magic weapons in the past few months, he could spend his time on practicing and improving spells.
Arriving at the Collection Pavilion, Chu Ning told Liu Zhaolin about his ideas, and Liu Zhaolin immediately took Chu Ning to the second floor.
Then he took out a jade slip from among the many jade slips and handed it to Chu Ning.
"Junior Brother Chu, this jade slip was brought out from the ruins of Wolong Valley. I took a look and it should be the talisman technique of Wolong Valley.
Although this sect was far less powerful than Jiuhua Sect in those days, it has its own unique talisman technique.
The talisman technique of our sect has never been prosperous. You are the first to see it after it was collected in the collection pavilion."
Chu Ning took the jade slip and scanned it. As expected, he saw that it recorded many talisman techniques.
It also included many high-level and top-grade talisman making methods. He was satisfied and recorded a copy of it and put it in the storage bag.
At this time, Liu Zhaolin took out a jade card and handed it directly to Chu Ning, saying:
"As for the spells, they are all on the third floor. Junior Brother Chu, take whichever spell you like and register it with me so that I can copy it."
"Okay, thank you, senior brother."
Chu Ning reached out to take the jade card, then went straight to the third floor and came to the spell collection room.
After just a quick glance, Chu Ning went straight to the top spells of fire and earth attributes.
After a selection, Chu Ning brought the jade slips of two spells to the first floor and found Liu Zhaolin.
Although the jade card Liu Zhaolin gave him could take out those spell jade slips, there were still some small restrictions on each jade slip.
If Chu Ning wanted to copy them, Liu Zhaolin would have to remove the restrictions.
Even if he was a Jindan elder, he naturally could not take away all the inheritances in the sect without restrictions.
Liu Zhaolin took Chu Ning's jade slip and glanced at it.
"Junior Brother Chu really didn't choose the one that was not difficult."
