Chapter 340: Goal Achieved
After another cup of tea, Xiao Lin's spiritual consciousness left the jade slip, and then he respectfully returned the jade slip in his hand to Wu Daozi.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Wu Daozi.
Wu Daozi took the jade slip handed over by Xiao Lin, and his face showed joy. He seemed to be impatient to immerse his mind in it and browsed it roughly.
What Xiao Lin gave to Wu Daozi was what he exchanged from the remote trading meeting that year. He had studied it countless times over the years and was already familiar with the names of various spiritual herbs in it.
However, with Xiao Lin's knowledge of spiritual herbs, he could only recognize about 30% to 40% of them, and he had never even heard of most of them.
But the effect of this Quhuo Pill recipe was recorded in great detail in the recipe. This Quhuo Pill turned out to be an extremely rare third-level spiritual pill for tempering the body. After understanding the effect of this Quhuo Pill, Xiao Lin was really surprised.
Unlike demon cultivators, immortal cultivators do not focus on body forging. Almost all immortal cultivators practice cultivation methods to strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence, concentrate the mind and strengthen the soul, but do not pay much attention to the physical body.
Although as the immortal cultivators' cultivation level improves, their physical bodies are far superior to those of ordinary people even if they are washed by spiritual energy day and night. If they were placed in the secular world, they would be completely invulnerable to swords and guns.
But compared with those demon cultivators who focus on physical cultivation, the physical bodies of immortal cultivators are not worth mentioning. This is also the fundamental reason why most immortal cultivators will refine some protective magic tools.
This Quhuo Pill is a rare body forging spiritual pill. After understanding this, Xiao Lin even began to suspect that in ancient times, there might be a considerable number of immortal cultivators who would practice body forging techniques, just like those demon cultivators.
The various spiritual medicines in this Quhuo Pill are secondary. To refine this Quhuo Pill, a main medicine is also needed, that is, the essence and blood of the golden elixir demon cultivator, and the essence and blood of the ancient immortal spirit beast in the body.
This request was a bit excessive in Xiao Lin's opinion. The number of Jindan demon cultivators was extremely rare, not to mention the Jindan demon cultivators with the blood of ancient immortals in their bodies.
The name of ancient immortals was learned by Xiao Lin after he went to the sect's Sutra Pavilion and read a lot of miscellaneous books.
It is said that the ancient immortals were the first batch of immortal beasts born when the world was first created. It is said that there are 360 species, which coincides with the number of Zhoutian constellations and also indicates the meaning of innate perfection.
Dragons, phoenixes, white tigers, red birds, unicorns, gluttons, Xing beasts, etc., all belong to the first batch of ancient immortals. After these ancient immortals were born, they wandered around the Zhoutian world. But today, these ancient immortals have long disappeared in the mortal world where Xiao Lin is.
However, according to rumors, the demon race is the descendants of these heavenly immortals, and it is unknown how many generations have passed. After countless generations of reproduction, the ancient immortal blood in most demon cultivators has long disappeared.
Only some demon cultivators who pay attention to blood inheritance still have a trace of ancient true spirit blood in their bodies. For example, demon beasts such as Jiaolong, as long as they can be associated with the words dragon and phoenix, basically contain a very small amount of immortal blood in their bodies.
Of course, there is another kind, that is blood awakening. Maybe a demon beast was originally very ordinary and practiced slowly, but one day it suddenly awakened the immortal blood in its body, and from then on its practice speed soared, becoming a great demon. This is not nonsense.
In short, immortal blood is more valued in the demon race, and demon cultivators with immortal blood can suppress demon cultivators without immortal blood in their bodies.
Unlike the human race, who determine the status of cultivation by realm, the demon race determines the status by the purity of blood. If you see a demon who has not even transformed one day, followed by two transformed demon cultivators, you don’t have to feel strange, because nine out of ten times this demon who has not yet transformed is most likely still has immortal blood in his body.
However, the demon race contains immortal blood in their bodies, just like the human race's natural spiritual roots or even immortal spiritual roots cultivators, they will be envied by the gods. If they don't have a backing background, they will most likely be killed by other demon cultivators of higher realms, and the immortal blood will be extracted from their bodies, integrated into their own bodies, strengthened their bodies, and improved their cultivation.
However, it is impossible to use this to make oneself have immortal blood. This kind of blood passed down from ancient times can only be passed down from generation to generation, and it is impossible to possess it through plunder. Even those demon cultivators who suddenly awakened the immortal blood in their bodies are descendants of those immortals.
It's just that after countless generations of inheritance, the immortal blood gradually became thinner, and finally it was not obvious. In a certain generation later, it suddenly returned to its ancestors and reawakened the blood, and it didn't come out of thin air.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin's original expectation of improving his cultivation was completely ruined. Not to mention that he didn't have a real body-building technique, even if he did, he didn't have much time to practice.
Moreover, with his current cultivation, unless he could enter the demon field and kill a transformed demon cultivator, he might have a chance to extract a trace of immortal blood from its body. For this, Xiao Lin could only think about it.
Even if he was given another courage, he would not dare to go deep into the demon field.
After a cup of tea, Wu Daozi withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Have you thought about which elixir recipe to choose?" Wu Daozi said lightly, calmly putting the jade slip in his hand into the star ring.
"Disciple chooses the recipe of the cold pill." Xiao Lin said without hesitation.
Although Xiao Lin also wanted the recipe for the Hunyuan Pill, in comparison, the Hunhan Pill was more suitable for him in terms of both medicinal power and properties. After careful consideration, Xiao Lin still chose the Hunhan Pill.
As for the third-level spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin believed that as long as he was willing to pay a certain price, he would still have a good chance of getting them.
At worst, he could go to the major immortal cities in the southern region to travel around. It might not be possible to find spiritual herbs of sufficient age, but some seedlings of low age might still have a good chance of being obtained.
Upon hearing this, Wu Daozi showed a look of surprise on his face, but soon calmed down.
Seeing the change in Wu Daozi's expression, Xiao Lin suddenly realized something and was also glad for his choice.
He gave Wu Daozi a Hunling Grass. Although he swore that he had obtained it by chance and didn't even know the name of the spiritual grass, in the eyes of Wu Daozi, the old fox, Xiao Lin's words might not be true.
After all, few people would give away the only precious items in their hands. Usually, when there are more than one, they would take out a part to exchange for the items they need.
Therefore, in Wu Daozi's opinion, the number of Hunling Grass in Xiao Lin's hand was probably more than one, but this was just his guess. After all, if you encounter one Hunling Grass, a third-level spiritual grass, you are lucky.
If you can get a few, it is simply a blessing from heaven. Wu Daozi will naturally not ask directly or bully the weak. At his level, and Xiao Lin is Su Qingyun's disciple, he still needs some face.
However, after a little thought, he came up with an idea, which is to give him the list of spiritual pills in his hand. If Xiao Lin has more than one Hunling Grass in his hand, he will definitely choose the recipe of Hunyuan Pill. Then he will find a way to get the rest of the Hunling Grass from him.
After all, although Wu Daozi is one of the three remaining great alchemists in Dancao Mountain and has profound attainments in alchemy, he is not sure that he can succeed in refining this third-level spiritual pill in one go.
If he had two or three Hunling Grasses, he would have an 80% chance of refining at least one furnace of Hunyuan Pills.
If he really refined Hunyuan Pills and took them himself, he would have a good chance of advancing to the middle stage of Jindan within a decade.
But after thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin finally chose the most difficult recipe of the Huohan Pill. This kind of recipe is very cold in nature, so it is difficult to grasp the medicinal properties when refining. Compared with Yuxuan Pills and Hunyuan Pills, the success rate of Huohan Pills is much lower.
Moreover, there are two main medicines needed to refine Qiyuan Pills, one is Jiyin Grass, and the other is Bingpo Lotus Seeds. Although Jiyin Grass is rare, it is better. It is not out of reach to buy it. At most, the Jiyin Grass purchased is of less age.
But the Ice Soul Lotus Seed is different. This Ice Soul Lotus Seed is the lotus seed produced when the Ice Soul Lotus blooms and bears fruit. Moreover, this Ice Soul Lotus is the kind of rare spiritual medicine that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if the lotus seeds are produced, they cannot be planted and cultivated directly, but can only be placed in the Ice Soul to reproduce naturally.
Of course, this depends on luck, and the Ice Soul Lotus only grows on the Ice Soul, so if you want to find this spiritual medicine, you can only look for the Ice Soul first.
Ice Soul itself is extremely precious. It is the best material for refining magic weapons. It is also the most favorite material for ice-attribute cultivators. It can be used to refine various magic weapons of ice attributes, which are amazingly powerful.
But demand also determines the value. The scarcity of Ice Soul itself, coupled with the pursuit of many cultivators, makes the value of Ice Soul reach an astonishing level. Even at an auction, a piece of Ice Soul the size of a fingertip can usually be sold at a sky-high price of tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Lin naturally didn't know about these things, and when Wu Daozi saw that Xiao Lin chose the recipe of the Huhan Pill, he felt much more relaxed for some reason. Maybe in his opinion, even if Xiao Lin got the Huhan Pill recipe from him, he would not be able to refine it.
But Xiao Lin was full of joy at this moment, and secretly thought that this trip was worthwhile. As long as he had this recipe and found all the spiritual medicines for refining the elixir, his cultivation could be quickly improved again.
This made him full of confidence in the prospects of his cultivation.
After getting the recipe he needed, Xiao Lin took the opportunity to ask Wu Daozi about some confusions about alchemy, and what was beyond Xiao Lin's expectation was that Wu Daozi patiently explained his doubts to him.
Even the ancient recipe of Quhuo Pill, Wu Daozi gave all the instructions to Xiao Lin according to his own understanding, which greatly changed Xiao Lin's impression of Wu Daozi's stinginess.
He didn't know that Wu Daozi felt that he couldn't refine the Huohan Pill after choosing it, so he just compensated by answering his questions.
After asking for advice for three hours, when Wu Daozi showed a little impatience, Xiao Lin reluctantly said goodbye to Wu Daozi and Tao Ling and left.
