Chapter 295: Fourth-Level Craftsmanship Master!

"Even the legendary Taoist elixir is not so mysterious."

After listening to True Lord Lan Mo's story, Zhou Changqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Could it be the legendary elixir?"

Lan Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's useless for me to call myself an ancestor, but this time I really don't know why. The name of this elixir has spread throughout the nearby Tiannan Immortal Territory, and Elder Xuan Miao couldn't help but chase him away. I The physical injuries were caused by breaking into the Wanli Hengsha Celestial Image during the chase."

The Tiannan Immortal Realm mentioned by Lan Mo is the area where more than a dozen immortal realms are located near the Tiannan Immortal Realm. This area is located in the southernmost part of the entire Great Immortal Realm. I don’t know when it has been called this by immortal cultivators.

As for the so-called celestial phenomenon of Wanli Hengsha, Wanli is an imaginary number. Hengsha refers to the yellow sand scene formed by broken meteorites, continents, and stars. This is the most common celestial phenomenon in the void.

Don't think how dangerous it is if it's just gravel. If the spiritual energy in the yellow sand is exhausted, there won't be any trace of it.

At present, the largest celestial phenomenon that monks have encountered is the tens of thousands of miles of Hengsha, which stretches for more than 40 million miles in the western part of the world of immortality. The winds are endless, and if the Nascent Soul monks are involved, they will have to use up all their wits.

"This elixir is so miraculous that it can be hidden inside a monk's body. It is almost difficult for the monk to detect it. His only hobby is to swallow elixirs and elixirs."

"Because of this, this elixir was discovered by the monks."

Zhou Changqing looked surprised, this was too mysterious.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I need to take care of my injury next, and I have to leave it to you to patrol the void."

After some exchanges, Lan Mo held his hands towards Zhou Changqing and rushed into the depths of the meteorite.

Zhou Changqing watched the Lan Mo disappear, his expression neither happy nor sad, but his mind sank.

…

Fifty thousand miles away.

Inside the cave.

In front of Shen Lian stood a natal spirit puppet that looked similar to him. The five-element spirit puppet had already restrained its aura, and its body surface had become the same as that of a normal monk.

When passing through the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, Shen Lian released it and accepted the baptism of thunder together. Under the creation of the Tribulation Thunder, the spirit puppet also broke through to the fourth level.

The magical level of the fourth-level spiritual puppets is also very different from before. If you want to continue to improve your realm, the quality of the spiritual objects required has naturally increased.

"A fourth-level spiritual creature."

Ziyang spent a lot of money, and even had his butt kicked and beaten, to get together a set of fourth-level five-element spiritual objects.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian was not in a very beautiful mood.

According to his estimation, in order for the spirit puppet to advance to the fourth-level mid-level, at least two to three sets of four-level low-level five-element spiritual objects are needed.

In addition, for his own cultivation, he also needs the corresponding five elements spiritual objects to condense the yin and yang qi, otherwise it will not be conducive to the improvement of the yin and yang Nascent Soul.

Calculating it all together, he needs at least five sets of five elements spiritual objects as a foundation before he can reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

In addition, Yuan Ji Sheng Ling Dan, which is commonly used by monks in the early stage of Yuanying, and Wantong Qiu Yu Dan, which is used for healing, should also be prepared.

Otherwise, if you just rely on condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, you will not be able to advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul in a long time.

Of course, it would be even better if there was a fourth-level low-grade Phoenix Marrow Returning Pill. This is a level-breaking elixir. Even if there is no bottleneck in his practice, he can take one Phoenix Marrow Returning Pill and the effect will be worth dozens of yuan. The ultimate elixir.

This was only a fourth-level low-grade spiritual object. There would be a fourth-order mid-grade and a fourth-order high-grade spiritual object in the future. Shen Lian couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

In addition, he also wanted to get a better animal skin, or Ling Zhi made a fourth-level talisman paper.

"The next step is to invest in resources."

Currently, there is no shortage of ores in his collection. After advancing to Nascent Soul, Shen Lian has the ability to refine fourth-level mid-grade spiritual materials.

But the problem is that he has spiritual materials but no channels to sell them, and the Budian cult members can only provide third-level spiritual materials. It seems that he needs to recruit Taoist friends at the Nascent Soul level.

…

It is normal for a Nascent Soul monk to spend decades in seclusion once, and Shen Lian has long been used to it.

He was lacking everything now. He took out the low-quality Yuanji Shengling Pill among the previous trophies and tried to refine it. After taking two pills in a row, his magic power did not improve significantly.

"Click."

After crushing a Yuanji Shengling Pill and looking at the cracked pill in his palm, revealing the black particles of impurities, Shen Lian had the urge to curse.

The alchemist who refined this elixir is really a waste.

He added some foreign substances with no side effects to the elixir, which is a bad conscience.

But turning a good elixir into erysipelas is a matter of craftsmanship.

"That's all, this Dan dog won't even eat it."

The magic power in the body traveled dozens of times in the meridians, wrapping up the small black spots attached to the meridians and washing them out of the body.

It took more than half a month to refine a Shengling Pill. It took nearly a month to get rid of the erysipelas. It was not clear whether he had taken the pill or poison.

Just outrageous.

…

On this day, Shen Lian was in the cave looking through the various methods left by Heiya.

He found that these Five Elements Dharma Doors have similar approaches and similar results. It seems that there are some differences in each realm, but they are inseparable from each other. The core is still between the Yin and Yang of the Five Elements.

In other words, even if he switches to other Five Elements exercises, it will not have much impact on his foundation.

Among Heiya's sixty-eight martial arts, twenty-three are magic arts, and there is also an evil secret technique, the Five Elements Flags and Skin Scroll, which talks about breaking away from the shackles of the human body, using the five elements as bones and human skin as a bag to cultivate The soul of the five elements.

This method seems quite evil, but what worries Shen Lian is that this method is actually an acquired method of cultivating the Five Elements.

In other words, even if you are not a monk with five spiritual roots, you can gather the power of the five elements as long as you dare to give yourself a few knives, cut the bones and skin, and fill the five elements with spiritual objects when you embark on the path of cultivation.

And this evil method actually points directly to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Either the person who created the method disappeared or was left behind.

After many confirmations, there was no problem with the technique that Hei Ya took out, but Shen Lian always felt that this guy must be hiding something. He didn't know why, but it was just based on suspicion of Lao Hei.

…

Spring goes and autumn comes, and five years pass again.

A spiritual ship flew out of Xuanyou Station, and Zhou Changqing stood at the bow of the ship and took out the jade talisman for communication.

"Junior brother, have you stabilized your realm?"

Although Xuan Miao was not here, he still had to do the task of patrolling the void, and he happened to want to take this opportunity to explain the matter to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian, who received the summons from Senior Brother Yianyuan in the cave, also ended his retreat.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, the number of enlightenment points obtained has roughly doubled compared to the previous time in the Golden Elixir stage. After making do with it over the years, I have also taken advantage of the situation to upgrade my weapon refining, alchemy, and talisman making skills to the fourth level.

Now Shen Lian is a great craftsman.

However, Technician Shen's skills were so good that sparks were coming out from wiping his hands, but there was no use for them.

"Let's go and become an elder with the master."

After greeting Dahei, Shen Lian went out and covered up the Five Elements Cave.

This is a naturally formed Five Elements Restriction. Although I don’t know why it happened by coincidence, after Shen Lian improved it, even the great monks in the late Nascent Soul found it difficult to discover this place.

It could actually become a stronghold.

For this reason, Shen Lian hid a random teleportation array inside.

"Chirp."

"Master, can I accept a disciple as a master or something like that? I'm tired of being with those low-level female horned ants every day."

"Slag ants."

Shen Lian picked up Dahei's black horn and pulled him over.

"The most important thing for you now is to practice hard and advance to the fourth level of the Great Demon King as soon as possible. Your master is very short of demon blood and animal skin."

"Ah, Master, I think it's good for you to look after your home. I'd better leave the bloodletting to Sanqian. He has a lot of blood."

Dahei swayed quickly, trying to free his big black horn from Shen Lian's hand.

…

In the vast void, in the darkness, Shen Lian quietly looked at the flying boat floating in the distance, watching another version of himself fall onto the flying boat.

"Junior Brother Wang, you are fine. It seems that your realm has been completely stabilized."

In Feizhou Palace, Zhou Changqing, dressed in a green robe, walked out.

"Junior Brother Wang."

On the other side, a green light flashed, revealing Liu Qingqing's appearance.

"I've met Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Sister Liu."

Shen Lian cupped his hands towards the two of them.

"Let's talk inside."

Zhou Changqing stretched out his hand to signal, with a hint of intimacy in his tone.

"Senior brother please."

The three of them entered the flying boat and took their seats. Liu Qingqing even made the spiritual tea herself.

"Come on, junior brother, this is the third-level top-grade Tianyun Ling tea. It will be somewhat helpful to us Nascent Soul cultivators."

Liu Qingqing handed the tea cup to Shen Lian and said softly: "Junior brother, have a try."

After a cup of tea, Zhou Changqing touched his arms and placed a jade bottle in front of Shen Lian.

"Junior brother has just advanced to Yuanying. Here are five fourth-level Yuanji Ascension Pills. They are a Yuanying gift from me and Junior Sister Liu."

Seeing Shen Lian's hesitation, Liu Qingqing spoke again and said, "Junior brother, please take it. Although resources are now exhausted, senior brother and I can still get these few elixirs."

According to the previous price at the Tiannan Continent auction, the five Yuanji Shengling Pills were worth more than 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Shen Lian did not expect Zhou Changqing to send him a congratulatory gift.

Although they were all of inferior quality, the kindness still warmed his heart.

"Thank you so much, senior brother and senior sister."

Shen Lian thanked him and said, "Senior brothers and sisters can come to me if they want to refine elixirs in the future. I am an alchemist."

"Junior brother is an alchemist?"

Liu Qingqing's beautiful eyes turned, "Junior brother, you have just advanced to Nascent Soul, have you improved your alchemy skills?"

"Although junior brother is a casual cultivator, he had a sect a long time ago. Although it is just a small sect of golden elixirs, the alchemy skills passed down are the fourth level. Later, the sect was destroyed, and I started practicing alone. ”

"I think if I practice more, I will probably advance to the fourth level alchemist in the future."

"Pfft." Liu Qingqing snorted, "It turns out that junior brother wants to use our elixir to practice, but it's a pity that we don't have the elixir either."

"Junior brother is an alchemist, and our Jade Xuan Sect also has the inheritance of alchemy. After returning to the sect to worship the ancestor hall in the future, junior brother will naturally be able to read the sect's books, which may be helpful to junior brother to advance to the fourth level alchemist."

Zhou Changqing was determined to recruit Shen Lian, so he naturally didn't want Liu Qingqing to talk any more. It would be bad if he got annoyed by talking about it.

"If I can collect the fourth-level elixir in the future, I will naturally give it to my junior brother to practice."

At this time, Zhou Changqing's voice changed, "By the way, junior brother, please take a look at this."

Then he saw Zhou Changqing taking out a piece of animal skin in his arms, with some words densely written on it.

The relevant content was also tailor-made for him. For example, he was not allowed to kill sect disciples and was not allowed to attack fellow sects, mainly Yuxuan Sect's Nascent Soul monks.

Of course, Zhou Changqing and others could not attack Shen Lian, as the agreement was a two-way deal.

It was just that the Houtu contract did not have this. Zhou Changqing wanted to swear to the order of heaven and earth and to his own path.

Those who violated the agreement would have their paths destroyed and their Nascent Souls scattered.

"This is what should be done."

Shen Lian had no objection to this.

Next, the three of them swore to heaven and earth, and whether it was useful or not depended on the individual.

During the whole process, Zhou Changqing and Liu Qingqing were very serious, and even forced out a drop of blood essence as a guide to announce it to heaven and earth.

Seeing that Shen Lian, like them, forced out blood essence to swear, Zhou Changqing was slightly relieved, which showed that Shen Lian had a good heart.

"Junior brother, I have already informed Elder Xuan Miao of your affairs, saying that you are the new Nascent Soul of the sect. In view of the lack of defense in the western void, I specially asked you to come from the sect to assist in the inspection."

With the oath reappeared, the atmosphere between the three was obviously much more cordial.

"However, Senior Brother still has something to say. If you encounter any cultivators who cross the void and leave during the patrol, let them go if possible. We are all human beings..."

"Junior Brother, I understand. After all, Junior Brother's hometown is here."

"In addition, Junior Sister Liu and I have discussed that since Junior Brother is from Tiannan, why don't you return to Tiannan, secretly select talented disciples, gather them together, and send them to the sect in the future."

"Junior Brother, what do you think?"

"Junior Brother is an alchemist, and he happens not to be good at fighting and killing. Let Senior Brother arrange it."

Shen Lian agreed immediately.

"Junior Brother, you still have to keep this a secret. The aliens have no mercy on our human race."

Zhou Changqing's words contained resentment and unwillingness.

"Junior Brother understands."

Shen Lian nodded calmly.

"Junior brother, come and have some tea." Liu Qingqing refilled the teacup. "Junior brother, follow me and my senior brother to inspect the outlying points on the continent and get familiar with each place."

The flying boat passed a stream of light in the void, and the three people in the boat sat and talked and chatted.

"After Lan Mo came back, he did say something strange. He said that Xuan Miao and his party heard about a spiritual pill with nine pill orifices on the way to the Five Elements Fairy Palace..."

Hearing this, Shen Lian's hand holding the teacup trembled.

"Junior brother?"

"Ah...you are an alchemist, can this pill become a spirit?" Liu Qingqing said in a delicate voice.

"It should be possible."

Shen Lian drank a sip of tea, "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders!"

Not only did it become a spirit, but he also made it himself.

"It's true that the elixir is mysterious, but it's too far for us, and it's not something we should get involved in."

Zhou Changqing reminded: "Junior brother, you have to be careful of this Lan Mo in the future. This tribe is half-human and half-demon, and their methods are extremely strange. They are the hardcore thugs of the Xuanyou tribe. When the Xuanyou tribe unified the continent, countless humans died in their hands."

"This time, this person said that he encountered the Wanli Hengsha celestial phenomenon and was seriously injured. It may not be that he was arranged by Xuan Miao to monitor my Yuxuan Sect."
