Chapter 282: Still Young
Whether it was the elixirs Chu Ning had refined or the prescriptions he had seen, there were many types.
Moreover, in the Jiuhua Sect, the demon elixir of the red flame beast was also used to refine the elixir.
So when he took the elixir from Tang Jinchuan's hand, he could feel that this elixir was made from demon elixir.
And it is different from the previous time when he used the red flame beast to refine the elixir.
At first, he only used part of the elixir liquid in the demon elixir for refining, and used it as an auxiliary material to improve the quality of the elixir.
The elixir he was holding in his hand at the moment was obviously made from demon elixir as the main material and mixed with several elixirs.
Although I guess in my heart, the elixirs in this Icelandic fairy city are probably mainly refined with demon elixirs.
But at this moment, Chu Ning still said to Tang Jinchuan with a hint of expectation:
"Fellow Taoist Tang, I feel that this elixir is not very suitable for me to use. I wonder if there are other elixirs with this effect."
Tang Jinchuan nodded slightly after hearing this, then took out three more pills and handed them to Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, there are not many elixirs suitable for Jindan monks to improve their cultivation. These four elixirs are the most popular among all Taoist friends in this pavilion.
In the Northern Cold Land, there are probably not many people who can produce four different types of elixirs with the same effect. "
When he said this, Tang Jinchuan sounded quite proud.
Chu Ning took the four elixirs in his hands and felt them for a while, and found that without exception, these four elixirs were all made of demon elixirs.
It is roughly understood that the alchemy skills in this northern cold land are probably similar to demon pills.
Soon he roughly guessed that this was related to the fact that this place was backed by the Xuefeng Mountains and connected to the boundless sea.
In the Eastern Holy Continent and the Western Alliance Continent, there are also many monsters.
But most of the monsters are in various spiritual mountains.
The two continents are connected to the Boundless Sea, although there are also legends about monsters in the depths of the Boundless Sea.
But basically no monks would go to the depths of the boundless sea.
But this northern cold land is different.
It is separated from the boundless sea by the boundless sea.
There is life in this sea, and there are also a large number of monsters.
On the contrary, although the Xuefeng Mountains also have spiritual veins.
But because of the climate, compared with places like Yunxiao Mountains where it feels like spring all year round.
Relatively speaking, the elixir resources are much less.
This is also the reason why so many Golden Core cultivators came early when Snow Mist Valley opened.
There are few elixirs, but there are many monsters in the sea.
I'm afraid this is also the main reason why the alchemy here is mainly based on demon pills.
While thinking about it in her mind, Chu Ning took four more pills and carefully felt the quality of the pills.
Combined with the tone of Tang Jinchuan's words, we can roughly infer the level of alchemy in this northern cold land.
Compared with the alchemy level of Jiuhua Sect, which has a complete inheritance, this place is far behind.
Within the Jiuhua Sect, there are several types of elixirs suitable for use by Jindan monks to strengthen their spiritual consciousness.
There are more than ten kinds of elixirs suitable for different golden elixir monks to refine their magic power.
With this thought in mind, Chu Ning chose two elixirs that he thought were more suitable for him and said to Tang Jinchuan:
"Fellow Taoist Tang, I don't know how many spiritual stones this elixir contains?"
Tang Jinchuan smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chu has great eyesight. These two are high-grade and medium-grade elixirs, and they are very expensive.
A bottle of nine, worth five thousand low-grade spiritual stones. "
When Chu Ning heard the price, she was originally planning to buy two types, but now she pointed at one of them and said:
"In that case, I'll take this bottle."
Tang Jinchuan immediately handed over a bottle of elixir, and Chu Ning also took out the corresponding spirit stone from the storage bag and gave it to him.
In fact, what Chu Ning wants most is to study the corresponding elixir recipe, so that he can not only refine it himself, but the cost will be lower.
And correspondingly, you can also refine the spirit again, and the effect you can exert will be better.
But since this elixir is so precious, let alone the elixir.
Chu Ning knew without thinking that the other party would definitely not sell it.
"We can only see if there will be corresponding elixirs or elixirs for sale at the upcoming trade fair."
Chu Ning was muttering in her heart at this moment, and she no longer wanted to visit Shuangyue Pavilion.
After all, what he wanted most was to get some elixir.
As for other treasures, Chu Ning really has no shortage of them.
When Tang Jinchuan asked Chu Ning to go to the trade fair together, Chu Ning immediately agreed.
In the past few years, he had been practicing asceticism in seclusion.
But now Chu Ning feels the need to communicate more with other monks.
After all, whether he wanted to obtain the elixir or return to the Western Alliance Continent, Chu Ning had to find out some information from the other monks.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Ning briefly asked if Shuangyue Pavilion would recycle talismans and the like.
The answer he got was that he would accept it, which made Chu Ning feel a little relieved.
If you want to stay here for a long time, you will have to spend so many spiritual stones.
He couldn't tell, he could only make some talismans to sell.
While the two were chatting, Tang Jinchuan took Chu Ning to a small hall used for trade fairs. There were only two monks inside at the moment.
There was a man who looked about fifty years old and was wearing a yellow robe. The most eye-catching thing was his pair of long arms. He had a middle-level Jindan cultivation level.
The other person is younger, wearing a blue gown, and his face is a little cold, but he is in the early stage of Jindan cultivation.
The two of them looked surprised when they saw that Chu Ning was so young and that Tang Jinchuan had brought him here.
The long-armed old man couldn't help but take the initiative and said:
"Fellow Taoist Tang, this fellow Taoist is so young and I have never seen him before. Can you introduce him to us?"
Tang Jinchuan roughly knew what the long-armed old man meant as soon as he heard it, but he didn't explain too much.
He introduced with a smile:
"This is Fellow Taoist Chu Ningchu, who lives in this fairy city in Iceland."
With that, he introduced to Chu Ning:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, these two are fellow Taoists Chang Lingshan and Shen Qian. They have been in the Fairy City of Iceland for a long time.
He is also a frequent visitor to our Shuangyue Pavilion. "
After hearing this, Chu Ning immediately smiled and said to the long-armed old man named Chang Lishan and the middle-aged monk in blue shirt named Shen Qian:
"My dear Chu Ning, I came to live in Fairy City in Iceland a few years ago. I had little contact with my fellow Taoists before. Please take care of me in the future."
Chu Ning didn't want to be misunderstood by others as having anything to do with Shuangyue Pavilion, so she simply made it clear at this moment.
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Tang Jinchuan couldn't help but glance at Chu Ning.
Chang Lishan and Shen Qian also stood up and returned the favor with Chu Ning.
At this time, Tang Jinchuan had something to do and left, so there were only three people left in the hall.
Shen Qi'an seemed to have a relatively aloof personality. After saying hello, he closed his eyes and rested, looking like he was not willing to communicate with many people.
But Chang Lishan was very talkative and took the initiative to chat with Chu Ning.
I heard that Chu Ning was in retreat some time ago and had not come out, so he took the initiative to tell Chu Ning about some major events that had happened around the Fairy City in Iceland in recent years.
"There was an eighth-level monster in the southeastern sea five years ago, and many fellow Taoists lost their lives.
However, this big demon seems to have only stayed in that area for a short time and left three years ago. "
"I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle in Snow Mist Valley this time. Some Taoist friends said they saw a thousand-year-old Snow Crystal Zhizhi there ten years ago.
It is said that he has transformed into a spirit, and the Taoist friend at that time escaped without paying attention.
This time, I'm afraid many people came here for this thing. "
Hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Even he knew this Xue Jingzhi when he was in Jiuhua Sect.
This elixir is a top-quality medicinal material for refining elixirs, but generally no one would be willing to take out Snow Crystal Zhi, which is over a thousand years old, for refining.
Because a few drops of Ganoderma lucidum can be taken out every six months from snow crystal mushrooms that are more than a thousand years old, which is extremely effective in improving monks' magic power.
It is comparable to the effect of thousand-year spiritual milk on restoring mana.
Chu Ning couldn't help but said at this moment:
"Thousand-year-old Snow Crystal Zhi? Will the opening of Snow Mist Valley attract Nascent Soul monks to take action?"
"That's not true!" Chang Lishan laughed and said.
"The three palace masters of Changkong Palace have been in seclusion for many years. Although this kind of treasure is not bad, it is not enough for them to come out of seclusion.
As for the rest of the Nascent Soul monks, after all, the Snow Mist Valley is located near the Fairy City in Iceland, and they are also worried that if they go there, they will alert the three Nascent Soul monks in Changkong Hall.
So it won’t appear rashly. "
Chu Ning nodded and continued chatting with Chang Lishan.
Gradually, other monks came in one after another, and it was naturally inconvenient for the two of them to talk like before.
Chang Lishan took the initiative to invite Chu Ning to his cave.
Chu Ning originally intended to make friends with the monks here. Seeing that Chang Lishan was quite easy-going, he took advantage of the situation and asked:
"I don't know where Taoist friend Chang lives. After this incident, I will definitely pay a visit to Taoist friend Chang's house."
"I live in A18 on the fourth floor of Uptown."
As Chang Lishan said, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a slightly weird smile on Chu Ning's face.
Chu Ning said with emotion at this moment:
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chang would be my neighbor. I live in Jiajiu."
"What?" Chang Lishan also showed a surprised expression when he heard it, and then he smiled dumbly and said:
"A few years ago, I knew that someone lived in the cave next door, but I had never met him, and I didn't expect it to be Fellow Daoist Chu."
When the two said this, they suddenly felt a little more intimate.
They simply continued the conversation through voice transmission.
After about a stick of incense had passed like this, nearly thirty more Golden Elixir cultivators gradually appeared in the hall.
Chang Lishan said to Chu Ning at this moment:
“People should be here almost there, and the Snow Mist Valley will be open in about two months.
There should be fewer Jindan monks coming now. There will be more people in a month, and then the trade fair will be more lively. "
Chu Ning nodded and began to look around the entire hall.
It was found that among the more than thirty people in the hall at this time, there were only four late-stage Jindan monks, and the rest were about half each in the middle-stage and early-stage Jindan stages.
At this time, a tall, middle-aged female cultivator wearing a gorgeous dress appeared in the hall.
Tang Jinchuan followed behind him.
Chu Ning glanced at this graceful middle-aged female cultivator, and her face was slightly stern.
This person is clearly a late-stage Jindan cultivator.
And judging from the aura on his body, he should have entered the late stage of the golden elixir for a long time.
On the contrary, when he was in the spiritual realm, he saw He Feng, Tie Shi and the Chinese scholar whose strength was comparable.
"Wu Lingwei of Shuangyue Pavilion, welcome all fellow Taoists to this pavilion. As usual, we will first display a few treasures in this pavilion.
Then all fellow Taoists can do their own transactions..."
Wu Lingwei said and began to take out some treasures.
Perhaps it’s because big trading days that happen once every ten days are also very frequent for Shuangyue Pavilion.
Although there are many monks today, after all, it has not yet reached the highlight of the real open day of Snow Mist Valley once every ten years.
So what Wu Lingwei took out this time, in Chu Ning's opinion, was not top-notch.
And the number is not too much.
However, both the elixir and the refining materials seemed to be carefully prepared, so they were all quite popular.
Coupled with the more than thirty Jindan monks, it is actually not a small number.
In a short period of time, all the Golden Core cultivators were wiped out.
Immediately, everyone entered the stage of free trading.
Chu Ning glanced around and found that most of the people took out their belongings and put them in front of them, and there was no shield to facilitate everyone's spiritual consciousness to detect, so he followed suit.
I took out several things from the storage bag.
As soon as Chu Ning's things were taken out, many people couldn't help but look over.
At this moment, in front of Chu Ning, there were not only a pile of high-grade high-grade talismans, but also several elixirs that were obviously of high grade.
What surprised everyone even more was that there was a pile of green small swords in front of Chu Ning at this moment.
With everyone's knowledge, they can naturally tell at a glance that this is a magic weapon, and it is a complete set of magic weapons.
The Northern Cold Land is not like the Ximeng Continent. The sects here are far less powerful than the Ximeng Continent.
Especially near the Fairy City in Iceland, there are mostly casual cultivators.
Without the inheritance of the sect, neither alchemy nor weapon refining can be called prosperous.
Even in this Shuangyue Pavilion, magic weapons are not common.
After forming an elixir, the average monk would not even have his own magic weapon for a long time.
But at this moment, Chu Ning took out a set of magic weapons similar to flying swords. How could this not surprise them.
In comparison, the talismans and several elixirs that were obviously of high quality in front of Chu Ning did not attract much attention.
Soon, a voice came towards him.
"This fellow Taoist? What do you want to exchange for these magic weapons?"
This was obviously a voice transmission. Chu Ning didn't know who it was from for a moment, so she looked up.
Then he discovered that not far away, a middle-aged monk was nodding towards him.
Chu Ning immediately sent a message to the other party:
"Some special elixir."
As he spoke, Chu Ning told the other party the names of several elixirs he needed.
After seeing the embarrassment on the other person's face.
Chu Ning sighed slightly in her heart.
Then he tried to ask:
"Do you have any golden elixir monks who use elixir prescriptions of high-level, middle-grade or above?"
Hearing Chu Ning's words, the middle-aged monk showed a look of astonishment on his face.
Then he shook his head and sent a message:
"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I can't get what you mentioned, but I do have a lot of demon pills and some good weapon refining materials here.
I wonder if Taoist friends are interested? "
After Chu Ning rejected the other party, the deal ended in vain.
Afterwards, several people came to Chu Ning to inquire, but when they heard about the elixir or elixir Chu Ning needed, they all shook their heads.
Chu Ning did not wait and began to actively contact the monks one by one.
Especially those monks who took out the elixir and looked more like alchemists. Chu Ning asked them emphatically.
But after going around like this, almost no one could give out the prescription, which made Chu Ning very disappointed.
Chu Ning sold some talismans with low interest, and then Chu Ning chatted with some golden elixir monks out of boredom.
Thinking that there might be no gain from this trip, just treat it as getting to know some people.
At this moment, a voice came into Chu Ning's ears.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I wonder what you want to exchange for this magic weapon? So many fellow daoists can't satisfy you."
As this message fell into his ears, Chu Ning raised his head and found that there was an additional figure in front of him, it was Wu Lingwei.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be interested in this, Chu Ning was moved in her heart, and without hiding it, she said to the other party:
"Fellow Daoist Wu, the elixir I want to exchange for has just been seen by Daoist Tang from your pavilion.
If there is no elixir, I would like to exchange it for some elixirs. "
"Alchemy?" Upon hearing Chu Ning's words, Wu Lingwei's expression changed slightly.
This thing is their Shuangyue Pavilion's money-making treasure, so naturally it cannot be easily exchanged for Chu Ning.
Thinking like this, Wu Lingwei turned around and left.
But at this moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something, paused, and said to Chu Ning:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, if it is the elixir that is being used now, this pavilion cannot provide it.
However, we do have some ancient elixirs here. I wonder if fellow Taoists are interested in them? "
"Ancient elixir?" Upon hearing this, Chu Ning's heart moved.
The ancient elixir that Wu Lingwei would take out must have been studied by Shuangyue Pavilion and cannot be refined.
But I don't know if these pill recipes are because of the demon pills I need, or because the elixir can't be found.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning asked the other party:
"Fellow Daoist Wu, is this the complete ancient elixir recipe?"
Wu Lingwei nodded and sent a message:
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, they are all complete elixir recipes, but because they are ancient elixir recipes, I'm afraid a lot of the materials can no longer be found.
What I obtained in the pavilion is actually a complete alchemy book. If fellow Taoist is interested, you can let fellow Taoist take a look at one or two of the elixir recipes first. "
"Complete alchemy classics?"
This time, Chu Ning was even more surprised.
"If it's convenient, Chu wants to take a look first."
Wu Lingwei nodded, "Fellow Daoist Chu, please follow me."
Half an hour later, the small trade fair here ended.
Chu Ning walked down from the third floor of Shuangyue Pavilion, his face full of entanglement and anxiety.
Wu Lingwei, who sent Chu Ning downstairs, had a smile on her face.
"Using an almost completely useless alchemy book, I exchanged for a magic weapon. This deal is too cost-effective.
This fellow Daoist Chu Ning doesn't really think that these pill recipes can be improved and refined, right?
If it is really that simple, our alchemists in Shuangyue Pavilion would have developed it long ago.
Some old foxes have asked about it before, but they are no longer interested after learning some detailed information.
This fellow Daoist Chu is still young!"
