Chapter 64: Living in the Immortal City
However, Xiao Lin soon gave up the idea of refining the flag of the Three-Element Soul Locking Array. Xiao Lin's most urgent task now is to try every possible way to improve his own cultivation and strive to enter the seventh level of Qi Refining before the cave trial. Even if he enters the seventh level of Qi Refining, the safest way is to practice the elementary spell of the Great Fireball Spell first, and also to find a way to see if he can gather the materials for refining the Spirit Hidden Shield. With these two reliances, he thinks he still has a chance to get the Purple Spirit Flower in the cave trial.
As for the three flags of the Three-Element Soul Locking Array, it is better to put them aside after the cave trial and find a way to see if the materials for refining can be gathered.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin put this jade slip into the storage bag, and then picked up the last green jade slip to read it.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Lin withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the jade slip. This jade slip recorded several basic spells of gold attributes, which were probably from the scarred man. Xiao Lin had no interest in these spells and threw the jade slip directly into the storage bag.
Xiao Lin picked up another jade box and opened it gently. He found a small flag inside that was glowing with a faint red light. The small flag was only the size of a palm, with a flagpole that was half the length of a finger. It was equipped with a small triangular flag with several flame symbols embroidered on it. It looked very beautiful.
Seeing this small flag, Xiao Lin's face immediately showed surprise: "It's actually the Fire Element Flag? Xiao Lin saw at a glance that this small flag was the flag of the Three Element Soul Locking Array recorded in the jade slip he had seen before. He didn't expect that there was actually a finished product, which made him inexplicably surprised. You know, although it is not difficult to refine the array flag, it takes a lot of time. According to the description in the jade slip, the array flag of the Three Element Soul Locking Array is only a second-level array flag, and its power is also at the bottom among the second-level array flags, but in order to be able to set up the array completely, at least three of these array flags are needed.
In addition, some high-level arrays require even more abnormal array materials. Some large sects' mountain-locking arrays often require hundreds of high-level array flags. The time spent on refining alone is an astronomical figure, not to mention the need to collect hundreds of materials.
"It seems that the array flag of the Three Element Soul Locking Array should be the Wanhuacai thing. "In Xiao Lin's opinion, only the children of some big cultivation families can have this kind of formation flag. I think the Wan family where Wan Huacai is located should have some relationship with Tianyun Pavilion.
Putting the Fire Yuan Flag back into the jade box and carefully putting it away, Xiao Lin picked up the second jade box and opened it. He found a talisman flashing with a faint yellow light. Seeing this talisman, Xiao Lin recognized it at a glance. This talisman is a talisman that seals the earth magic giant stone magic. For Qi Refining Stage cultivators, elementary spells are enough to pose a fatal threat to them. Therefore, this elementary talisman is mostly used as a life-saving method at the bottom of the box and will not be taken out easily.
Xiao Lin judged that this talisman is either It was either from Wan Huacai or the scarred man, but most likely not from the Jiang woman. If the Jiang woman really had this talisman, it would not be so easy for him to kill her.
After putting the talisman into the jade box and putting it away, Xiao Lin looked at the wall of the cave and began to ponder.
Xiao Lin is now in a very embarrassing situation. His cultivation has not been able to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining, which has prevented him from practicing elementary spells. The only top-grade magic weapon, the Fire Cloud Pendant, is an auxiliary magic weapon, and it does not require mana to activate. It is a very rare magic weapon that relies on Qi and blood to activate.
Moreover, if he cannot enter the seventh level of Qi Refining, he can only activate two elementary and intermediate magic weapons at most, which will affect his combat power. It has caused great restrictions, but fortunately he has obtained the Bingyin grass and has transplanted it into the spiritual wood space. In this way, after a few months, when the first batch of Bingyin grass reaches the medicinal age, he can start to refine the improved version of Yunling Pill.
More importantly, this Bingyin grass is one of the three precious auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill. As long as he can get the recipe of the Five Elements Spirit Pill, he can even start to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill directly. With the Five Elements Spirit Pill, he will definitely have no problem breaking through the bottleneck in the middle stage. As for the improved version of Yunling Pill, Xiao Lin is not completely sure. After all, this kind of spiritual pill is just a concept, and it is unknown whether the cultivator who proposed this concept has practiced it.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin began to practice with his eyes closed. Two hours later, he woke up from his meditation and took another soul-enhancing pill, trying to break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage again.
For three consecutive days, Xiao Lin had been staying in the cave. During these three days, he had been trying to break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage. However, every time at the critical moment, his mana ran out. His bottleneck of the mid-stage was like a rock in the water, extremely hard. No matter how much mana he used to impact it, it remained motionless.
After opening his eyes, Xiao Lin showed a bitter expression on his face. Since he still couldn't break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage, it would only be a waste of time to continue. He left the cave, turned into a green light, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A few days later, Xiao Lin returned to Chixia Fairy City and began to live a secluded life again. In the next few months, in addition to taking care of the various spiritual herbs in the Lingmu Space, he wandered around. Most of the larger shops in Chixia Fairy City were visited by him. The last two materials he wanted to refine, the wind crystal and the cold stone, had not been found. It seemed that he still had to find a way to kill the Frost Fierce. However, the Frost Fierce was a mortal-level Great Perfection monster. With his current combat power, he basically had no way back and would die.
In these few months, he also sold the unused materials and several primary magic tools in the storage bag in batches, which made him have nearly a thousand low-grade spiritual stones in his hands. Xiao Lin even asked several large shops whether there would be auctions in the near future.
Not to mention, he actually found out a piece of news. It turned out that there was actually an Eight Treasures House in Chixia Fairy City. After chatting with the manager inside, he actually got the situation of the auction in Chixia Fairy City. However, what Xiao Lin regretted was that the auction was just held last month, and the next auction would be held in three years. This made Xiao Lin a little disappointed. He had originally thought about whether he could buy a few Five Elements Spiritual Pills from the auction to break through his bottleneck, but now it was impossible.
However, the only thing that made Xiao Lin happy was that the second wave of Five Elements Spiritual Grass in his Spirit Wood Space had grown to more than ten years of medicinal age. In order to make room, Xiao Lin reluctantly harvested all the Spirit Mist Grass and put them in the jade box, waiting for time to refine them into Soul-Enriching Pills and exchange them for Spirit Stones. The Soul-Enriching Pills now have completely lost their effect on Xiao Lin, so apart from leaving some seeds, he did not plan to continue planting.
As for the rejuvenation grass, Xiao Lin still kept dozens of them. After all, the effect of the Great Rejuvenation Pill was still very obvious. Even if he cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, he could still recover 20% of his mana through the Great Rejuvenation Pill. Unless there was a higher-level alternative elixir, Xiao Lin did not intend to give up cultivating the rejuvenation flower.
What surprised Xiao Lin even more was that the five-leaf grass obtained from the enchanting woman had grown to an astonishing medicinal effect of more than a hundred years, but there was still no sign of stopping. This surprised Xiao Lin very much. In his opinion, at least a third-level spiritual grass could grow to a medicinal effect of more than a hundred years.
Although Xiao Lin had not done any special research on the grades of spiritual herbs, he had spent a long time wandering around the major shops and had learned a lot from hearsay. The Yunling Pill and Huiyuan Pill he refined were both first-grade spiritual pills, suitable for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to take to improve their cultivation. However, the effectiveness of first-grade spiritual pills for cultivators in the late Qi Refining Stage was greatly reduced, and the effectiveness was very small. For cultivators in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, it was completely useless.
And the Five Elements Spiritual Pill was a second-grade spiritual pill, suitable for cultivators in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and the early and middle stages of foundation building to take, so as to improve their cultivation. However, for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, the medicinal effect of this second-grade spiritual pill was basically negligible. As for cultivators in the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, unless they took third-grade spiritual pills, second-grade spiritual pills were completely useless to them.
The spiritual herbs corresponding to the elixir are also divided into levels one to five according to the classification of the elixir. Of course, there are also level six and level seven spiritual herbs in the legend, but these levels of spiritual herbs are legendary. Perhaps only some legendary holy places of cultivation and overseas immortal mountains can exist. In the Tianlu Mountains, the highest level is the fourth-level spiritual herbs, and the number of fourth-level spiritual herbs is extremely rare. You should know that the fourth-level spiritual herbs are also sought after by some Yuanying old monsters.
The first-level spiritual herbs can only grow to thirty years of medicinal effect at most, but some can be used as medicine in twenty years. This kind of spiritual herbs, even if planted for more than thirty years, will only bloom and bear seeds, and will not continue to increase the medicinal effect. The second-level spiritual herbs can grow to 120 years. It can be said that 120 years is the limit of the medicinal effect of the second-level spiritual herbs, and it is also the best medicinal effect for alchemy. As for the third-level spiritual herbs, they can grow to an astonishing three hundred to five hundred years, and the best medicinal effect is five hundred years. The spiritual pills refined from the three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and the five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs are also very different.
For example, if the Five Elements Spiritual Pill is made with the Five Elements Spiritual Herbs with a medicinal effect of 60 years, the Five Elements Spiritual Pill obtained in this way will have no effect on the cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. However, if the Five Elements Spiritual Pill is made with the Five Elements Spiritual Herbs with a medicinal effect of 120 years, even if the cultivators in the late stage of foundation building take it, it can improve a small amount of cultivation, but the extent is not large.
Fourth-level spiritual herbs refer to those spiritual herbs that are more than 500 years old and less than 1,000 years old. Such spiritual herbs are very useful even for Yuanying stage monsters. The fourth-level spiritual pills refined from them can improve a lot of cultivation even for cultivators in the late stage of Jindan. Therefore, once the fourth-level spiritual herbs are born, even the Jindan ancestors will not be able to sit still and will definitely come out to grab them.
