Chapter 749: Demon-Slaying Pill
This hall is similar to the one in the first level. It is thirty feet in diameter. The decoration is simple and solemn, with a metallic luster, as if it is made of bronze. There are no doors and no exits. It is estimated that the only way to pass the level is to succeed or fail. leave.
Among the six people present, Qingyang broke through to the fourth level of foundation building, and Duanmu Fei broke through to the first level of foundation building. The strength of the others has improved to some extent, but it is not as obvious as them.
As Qingyang expected, everyone's expressions were not very good. When they saw the others again, they seemed to have found someone to vent their anger to. Lu Yuan was the first to couldn't help but said: "What's going on? It doesn't mean that the Dan Pond can be soaked for three days." Damn it? Why did it disappear in two and a half days?”
Duanmu Fei also frowned and said: "Yes, I heard from grandpa that the elixir pool will not reduce much after three days of soaking. Why is it so strange this time?"
It’s not like no one has thought about this problem. Ximen Li, who was wearing a bamboo hat, said in a hoarse voice: “Well, I’m afraid we have too many people this time. In all previous Dan King meetings, six people have never passed at one time. Even in the first session, there were only five people. With more people, energy will be consumed faster. It is not impossible to exhaust the water in the alchemy pool in more than two days. "
After listening to Ximen Li's words, Xia Meng couldn't help but nodded and said, "It's possible."
Seeing that no one suspected him, Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I also thought of a reason. Water has a source and trees have roots. The energy in this alchemy pool cannot be generated out of thin air. Even if all this is Thousand Hands Alchemy King arranged it in advance, but now hundreds of years have passed, each Alchemy King meeting consumes a certain amount of energy, and I am afraid that it has almost been consumed by now. "
Qingyang's explanation also made sense. Many people nodded secretly. No matter how much energy there was in the elixir pool, it would have been consumed over hundreds of years. This time, six people rushed in, two of them. It seems that it can be explained by consuming it in half a day.
After discussing this issue, Lu Yuan glanced around and said: "I thought it would be good if one or two of you could pass the level besides me and Lu Yuan, but I didn't expect four people to come in all at once, and there was even one among them. During the Qi refining period, I really underestimated the Five City Island monks.”
Xia Meng looked at Duanmu Fei and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, being able to pass the first level means that your alchemy skills should have reached the level of a foundation-building alchemist. Now that you have broken through the foundation-building stage, you can barely match it." I’m here, little girl, are you interested in becoming my concubine?”
Before Duanmu Fei could speak, Lu Yuanxian, who was next to him, became unhappy and scolded: "Xia, you have a great Foundation-Building Alchemy Master to be your concubine. Are you so shameless?"
It was reasonable for Lu Yuan to be angry. He had just married the granddaughter of the Baili family, and now Xia Meng was looking for a concubine from the Duanmu family. It was obviously to suppress him. How could Lu Yuan not be angry?
"Are you in charge of my affairs?" Xia Meng said angrily.
"I just can't stand the way some people are condescending." Lu Yuan was not to be outdone.
…
Lu Yuan took Liang Zi over, and Xia Meng immediately changed his target and no longer cared about his previous proposal. Duanmu Fei couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This Xia Meng is highly skilled in alchemy and has the strength to build the fifth level of foundation. If he sincerely wants to be the son-in-law of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Fei will not be unable to compromise for the sake of the Duanmu family. However, this person is frivolous and only wants to be a concubine. , doesn’t take herself seriously at all, how could she accept it?
It's just that Xia Meng is very powerful, and if Duanmu Fei refuses forcefully, she might bring on a powerful enemy for the Duanmu family. Now that Lu Yuan is interfering, it saves her a lot of trouble, so Duanmu Fei silently stepped aside, Standing behind Qingyang.
Just when Lu Yuan and Xia Meng were arguing, the hall suddenly lit up, and then six circles of light appeared near the walls. It was the same as the previous layout in the first level. There were pills in each circle. Furnace, platform, etc. are placed with talismans and other items.
This Alchemy King Palace is really magical. In the first level, there are twenty people, and twenty apertures appear. In the second level, there are six people, and there are exactly six apertures. One is no more and the other is less. It seems that it has been designed long ago. , even Qingyang, a well-informed person, was amazed.
The game was about to begin. Both Lu Yuan and Xia Meng knew very well that this second level was much more difficult than the first level. There could be no delay or distraction, so they no longer bothered to argue. They each snorted and walked away from each other. own closest aperture.
Everyone else is no exception. They each occupy a circle of light. Whether they are confident or unsure, since they have come in, they must go all out. Win thoroughly and lose willingly. If you are lucky enough, Passed the second level?
The layout inside this aperture is almost exactly the same as the first level. There is also an alchemy furnace in the middle and a platform next to it. On the platform, there are elixir recipes, talismans, and incense burners placed according to a certain pattern. A stick of dyeing incense is lit in the incense burner. It was almost twice as long as last time, which shows that the competition time is longer this time, and also proves the difficulty of this second level.
Qingyang took the elixir recipe on the platform and read it in his hand. What was written on it was a elixir that Qingyang had never heard of before, called the Demon Pulsating Pill. This was developed by Thousand-Hand Dan King himself. Even the name of the elixir he cultivated was obtained by himself, and it was not circulated outside.
The effect of this elixir is similar to that of the demon-transmitting elixir. After taking the demon-eliminating elixir, the monk's body will undergo certain changes and become similar to that of a demon beast. At the same time, it will have some special abilities of the demon beast, making the monk's strength in the Increased by more than 50% in a short period of time.
There are side effects, but they are not as severe as Tongyao Pill. That is, after the effect of the medicine wears off, there will be a period of weakness, and the temper will change like a monster, but the body will not show the characteristics of a monster like taking Tongyao Pill, and eventually become neither human nor ghost.
In other words, this Jueyao Pill is an improved version of Tongyao Pill, and it was improved by Qianshou Pill King himself, but it has not been circulated. Perhaps this Jueyao Pill is not mature enough, so it is extremely difficult to refine, even more difficult than the refining of the foundation-building pill.
Looking at the entire pill formula, Qingyang didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He didn't expect the second level to be so difficult. Five years ago, Duan Musong said that the second level of the Pill King Conference required refining the top-level pills at the foundation-building level. Qingyang thought it was at most the foundation-building pill. Although he had not practiced with the Yuandan technique, he had practiced the foundation-building pill with the Caodan technique, so he had some experience.
I didn't expect that this time there would be a pill called Jue Yao Dan, which is not only difficult to make but also extremely rare. This is a bit troublesome. It is true that I am a senior foundation-building alchemist, but I will make mistakes when I encounter an unfamiliar pill recipe. If I make a mistake, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?
