Chapter 1176: Dark Pill
"Is there no way at all?" Qingyang asked.
The Jindan first-level cultivator thought for a while and said, "It's not that there is no way. If you have some special skills that can attract the attention of important figures in the sect, they may accept you as an exception. If you have some strong negative abilities, I can introduce you to them."
Qingyang also considered that it was useless to wander around aimlessly outside. In the final analysis, he still had to deal with the Ghost Valley. If he could find a way to get into the Ghost Valley sect, he might have more opportunities. Anyway, it would be better than wandering around outside.
As for the Jindan cultivator's statement that only those who are particularly strong in certain aspects can be accepted as an exception, this also makes sense. Of course, ordinary disciples are more loyal to those who have been cultivated since childhood, but it does not mean that disciples with certain cultivation and strength will never be recruited.
There are many kinds of things involved in cultivating immortals, and each sect will have its own emphasis. It is impossible to master all categories. For example, the Jinding Pavilion in Jiuzhou Continent is good at refining pills, but not so good at refining tools. However, it is impossible to buy all the magic tools and spiritual tools needed by the sect's disciples, and the sect cannot cultivate such disciples. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on recruiting some disciples with special skills in refining tools to ensure the daily needs of the sect. It does not require them to be loyal to the sect, as long as they can make up for the shortcomings of the sect and make some contributions to the sect in some aspects.
Qingyang is not without special skills. His biggest advantage is refining pills, but he does not know whether Ghost Valley needs it. So Qingyang said: "My fellow Taoist, I was once a pill king. I have some special skills in refining pills. I wonder if I can enter Ghost Valley with this condition?"
Pill king? The Jindan first-level cultivator looked at Qingyang and was a little surprised. Of course, he understood the ability represented by a pill king. Seeing that this person was young, he did not expect that he was so hidden. But it's a pity that the elixirs refined by immortal monks are different from those refined by ghost monks, and the elixir king is not universal. Otherwise, introducing him to the Ghost Valley would benefit both sides.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said with regret: "The elixir taken by ghost monks is called the Nether Pill, which is different from the spiritual pill taken by immortal monks. If you are the Nether Pill King, you don't need others to introduce you, you can worship in the Ghost Valley at any time. The elixir king is useless in the Nether Realm. Although the principles of alchemy are somewhat similar, there are still some fundamental differences. It is very difficult for you to enter the Ghost Valley in your current situation. At most, you can be a medicine boy or something."
From entering the Fallen Ghost Abyss to now, Qingyang has dealt with ghost monks a lot. Over time, he has gradually figured out the difference between them. The Nether Yuan cultivated by ghost monks sounds completely different from the true Yuan of immortal monks, or even the opposite. In fact, there are still some commonalities between them. How to say it? It has something to do with attributes.
In fact, there are differences between immortal cultivators. For example, a cultivator with a single spiritual root practices a single-attribute technique, and finally cultivates a single-attribute true essence. When using spiritual tools and magic weapons of the same attribute, the power is greater, and when using spiritual tools and magic weapons of other attributes, the power is relatively small, because the mutual generation and restraint between the attributes must be considered, and there will be some loss during the conversion.
The ghost cultivator's dark essence is also the same principle, but the difference is greater. When a ghost cultivator uses immortal magic weapons, the power will be greatly reduced, or even one tenth of it will remain, because of the mutual restraint between the attributes. The same immortal cultivator using ghost magic weapons will be much more difficult and the power will be relatively small.
As for the dark pill, that is a completely different field. Qingyang knows nothing about it, mainly because he knows too little about the dark pill and has hardly ever come into contact with it before. Even if some of the principles are the same, it is not something that can be mastered in a short time.
Being a medicine boy for others is almost an insult to Qingyang, a former senior pill king. However, if he can use this opportunity to sneak into the Ghost Valley, it is not unbearable. In order to find a way to save Yu Mengmiao, it is nothing to be insulted.
Thinking of this, Qingyang said: "It is not impossible to be a medicine boy. My purpose is to find a sect to rely on. I wonder if you can introduce me to someone?"
The Jindan first-level cultivator was waiting for this sentence. After listening to Qingyang, he smiled and said: "I can introduce you, but I can't do this for nothing, right?"
Qingyang knew what the other party meant. He just wanted some benefits. The other party had been staring at him for so long, wasn't it just to make some dark stones? Qingyang was not reluctant to give it up. He casually took out a small bag of Nether Stone from the Object Collection Talisman and threw it to the Jindan Level 1 cultivator, saying, "Take this Nether Stone first. If the job is done well, I will pay you more."
The Jindan Level 1 cultivator was used to doing this kind of thing. He weighed the bag in his hand and estimated that there were at least more than a hundred Nether Stones in it. He worked for others in Ruyou City all year round. After running around, he only earned a few hundred Nether Stones in a year. I don't know how many times he had to talk.
I didn't expect that the cultivator I met this time would be so generous. He didn't even tell me the price, but he gave me more than a hundred Nether Stones directly. And after the job was done, there would be another half, two or three hundred spirit stones, which was as much as his income in the past half a year. How could I not serve such a rich man well? The Jindan level 1 cultivator was immediately delighted, patting his chest and saying, "Fellow Daoist, you treat me as a friend, so I must treat you sincerely. This time, I will take care of your entry into the Ghost Valley. If things don't go well, I will definitely return you double the amount of your Nether Stone."
"Then I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist." Qingyang bowed.
Then the first-level Jindan monk took Qingyang to a large store in Ruyou City that specialized in selling various Mingdan. After greeting the person in charge in front of the store, the two of them entered the store and walked all the way to the back. Finally, at In a quiet courtyard, I met a late-stage Jindan monk.
This late-stage golden elixir monk is called Guicang Zhenren. He has a calm temperament and a powerful aura. He seems to have a certain status in the Ghost Valley. The first-level golden elixir monk communicated with him in a low voice. He looked Qingyang up and down and said : "My handyman medicine boy in Ghost Valley has a very low status, not even as good as the qi refining monks within the sect. And you not only have the cultivation level of the golden elixir realm, but you were also the king of the spiritual elixir, but you are willing to be the lowest level." The handyman drug boy seems a little unreasonable."
Qingyang couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only bring out his previous remarks and said: "I have told this fellow Taoist before that I, a fairy monk, have no one to rely on in this Netherworld. Cultivation is really hard, so I wanted to find a supporter from a major sect.”
