Chapter 1104 Miyuan Gulingdan
According to the opinions discussed by Qingteng Sanren and Shangguan Yan, everyone waited in this small valley for another day and two nights. During this period, some people did come, but they were just two separated guards. The three candidates never showed up. As for the enemy who attacked at night, it seemed that they had completed their mission and never appeared again.
On the third day, everyone gathered together early. Looking at the crowd below, Qingteng Sanren looked a little unhappy. The remaining people, even including Qingteng Sanren, only had 34 people. Compared with the original team of hundreds of people, it was a heavy loss. Fortunately, the people selected by Tongguan County to participate in the preliminary election of the Son of God were not injured too much, and this place was not far from Kuzhong City, so the rest of the journey should be safe.
After counting the number of people, Qingteng Sanren led everyone to set off. Because there were many wounded in the team, the speed of travel was not very fast, and the distance was only about 100 miles a day. After the night attack, everyone became more cautious and alert when camping at night. If there was any disturbance, everyone would gather together at the first time.
The total population of Kuzhong City was millions, and there were more than one million monks alone. The range of activities was still very large. As they got closer and closer to Kuzhong City, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
Ten days later, the group finally arrived at Kuzhong City. During this period, there were no abnormal situations. The injured monks were in a much better condition after ten days of recuperation. Other candidates also worked hard to improve their strength to meet the challenge of the Holy Son Preliminary Selection. After notifying Qingyang about the replacement of the quota, Shangguan Yan never came to him again.
Qingteng Sanren arranged the entry into the city. Under his leadership, everyone easily entered Kuzhong City. Even the place where everyone stayed was prepared by Kuzhong City. It was in a large inn not far from the Kuzhong City Lord's Mansion, which saved their own money.
After arranging the accommodation, Qingteng Sanren went to the City Lord's Mansion to report the situation of the trip. Before leaving, he told everyone to prepare well. The preliminary selection of the Holy Son will start in about forty days.
After Qingteng Sanren left, everyone began to retreat and seize the time to improve their strength, especially Shangguan Yan, who never appeared after retreating. It is said that she has some insights into the current bottleneck and wants to take this opportunity to improve her cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining.
Everyone else was busy, only Qingyang had nothing to do, so he said hello to Ma Xingchen, and then asked the old man to go to the street together. In fact, the main purpose was to find the healing powder or other spiritual medicines that could heal the cracks of the golden elixir. One thousand spiritual stones must be enough.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if his luck has run out or he didn’t find the right place. After a few days, let alone other spiritual medicines for treating the cracks of the golden elixir, he hasn’t even seen the healing powder. There are many other elixirs, but if they are not suitable for the disease, it is useless to buy them.
Shangguan Yan was able to collect a large bottle of Mihe Powder in Tongguan County with just one word. I have been in Kuzhong City for so long, but I can't even see a shadow of it. In this comparison, Qingyang finally has the convenience of being backed by a big force. No wonder so many cultivators know that there are more opportunities outside and there may be better development, but they would rather stay in their own sects and call themselves ancestors. In addition to not wanting to go out and take risks, convenience is probably another reason.
But I have no foundation in Kuzhong City, unless I can find the city lord or other big forces to help. But in my current situation, even if I go to the door, I am afraid no one will pay attention to me. It seems that I still have to find a solution from other ways.
After thinking about it, Qingyang really thought of a way. Since such elixirs cannot be bought, I can only refine them myself. After being hit by the Seven Escape Locks, my mind was locked, but the experience of refining elixirs at the time was still there. I might not be able to refine elixirs of too high a level, but with my rich experience, if I am more careful, I might be able to succeed in refining elixirs of lower levels.
Qingyang has read through the materials on alchemy left by the Thousand-Handed Pill King several times over the years. He remembers many of the less popular recipes, and there are also several recipes for treating cracks in the golden elixir of cultivators. Some of them are effective, but very difficult to refine. Now that Qingyang's divine consciousness cannot be used, it is almost impossible to refine them; some are not very difficult to refine, but the materials are particularly rare and precious. Given Qingyang's current situation, it is difficult to collect them all.
After some comparison, Qingyang finally chose a pill called Miyuan Guling Pill. This pill is relatively easy to refine among the golden elixir-level pills, and the materials required are not particularly difficult to find. The price is also relatively cheap among those pills. Qingyang can buy about two with his one thousand spirit stones. If he is lucky enough, refining a pill is not a problem.
The difficulty of refining is low, so the effect of the pill will naturally be slightly discounted. However, Qingyang had used a large amount of Healing Powder before, and the problem of the golden elixir cracks has been mostly solved. He has already had a certain foundation. If he can take another pill of this kind, even if it cannot be completely cured, it will basically not be a big deal. After a period of rest, he will definitely be able to fully recover.
Do it as soon as you think of it. In the following period of time, Qingyang took the old man to walk through the streets and alleys of Kuzhong City, looking for various materials for refining the Miyuan Guling Pill. Hard work pays off. After a month, Qingyang prepared more than 60% of the required materials. There were about 30 or 40 kinds of materials left, but they were not particularly rare materials and could always be found by spending more time.
In the last few days, Qingyang did not have enough spiritual stones. To be on the safe side, he prepared according to four sets of materials. Seeing that the preliminary selection of the Son of God was about to begin, Qingyang and the old man had to stop buying materials and returned to the inn where they were staying.
The monks from Tongguan County were busy in retreat. No one cared about Qingyang and the two little guards, the old man, and what they had done these days. Even Ma Xingchen and Ma Shi did not ask about his whereabouts. It was obvious that they were not prepared to treat him as their own guard anymore.
During this period of time, Qingyang never stopped refining the Hehe Powder. More than a month passed, and the remaining half bottle of Hehe Powder was all used up by him. The problem of the crack in the golden elixir was greatly improved. Now Qingyang can use more true energy than before, almost equivalent to the amount of a cultivator who has reached perfection in Qi Refining. If it is coupled with his super strong defense, Qingyang feels that he has the strength to fight even against a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
