196 The Alchemist
Su Chen has never had any interaction with Zhuang Bufan, and he can't talk about his likes and dislikes, but he just doesn't want to get close to Mr. Zhuang.
At the beginning, the situation in the underground cave in Yunmengze was very dangerous, but because Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan entered the realm of fake foundation building almost at the same time, they had never had a real conflict of fighting under each other, and they even divided the rich magic medicines in the cave.
Zhuang Bufan had a gentle and elegant smile in front of everyone, quite kind and polite, which was hard to resist. As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile on your face, Zhuang Bufan came to visit him as a fellow disciple, and Su Chen didn’t want to let him come.
After Zhuang Bufan left, Su Chen always felt that his residence was not very safe. A small formation light shield alone was not very powerful. He could only guard against small thieves and could not resist other foundation-building cultivators forcibly breaking the cover into the cover.
Su Chen immediately asked Wu Qiaofu for help, went to the deep mountains and forests of Penglai Immortal Sect, and found a wild second-level top-grade peach blossom spirit tree.
The bark of this second-level top-grade spiritual wood is very hard. Even if Su Chen uses a flying sword to chop it, he can only hurt his bark half an inch.
Su Chen and Wu Qiaofu dug up the whole plant and moved it back to transplant it in the center of his yard.
When it was okay, Su Chen asked Taoyao, the wood spirit, to live in this spiritual peach tree and acted as a "guardian tree demon".
Taoyao is not always staying in Lingshan. Every day when the sun is scorching and the moon is full at night, he will come out to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
When Su Chen was practicing, or when he left for a short time, he let him live in this second-level peach tree and guard the house.
If someone trespasses the yard, it turns into a peach tree demon and can also find obstacles in time. With the strength of this second-level peach tree demon, it is difficult for an idle foundation-building monk to win in a short time.
The peach tree demon guarding the door late at night is undoubtedly a great increase in safety.
After more than a year in Penglai Immortal Sect, Su Chen rarely went out. Except for occasionally going to Tonglu Mountain to refine alchemy every 10 or 20 days, he spent the rest of his time practicing in his home in the courtyard.
After Su Chen was promoted to the second level of the foundation building stage, he found that the bud of his Qinglian Yuanshen also opened the second petal.
I guess that the nine petals of this green lotus are fully blooming, which is the ninth floor of the foundation-building stage.
"If one day I broke through the realm of the Golden Pill Stage, would the Qinglian Yuanshen have created a lotus seed? The golden elixir and lotus seeds are quite similar."
Su Chen couldn't help but think in his heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel funny.
In addition to practicing and refining alchemy, the rest of the energy naturally planted spiritual gourds in Lingshan.
The one acre of Lingshan is about eight feet long and wide.
Among them, the seven-treasure gourd spirit vine, a batch of high-level spiritual medicines for foundation-building pills, and many low-level spiritual medicines used to refine ordinary spiritual elixirs, occupy half of the acre of spiritual fields.
Su Chen cut the remaining half and handed it over to Taoyao to experiment with planting the mutated spiritual gourd.
The gourd spirit vines are very large. A spirit gourd rack takes up a full area of one meter. You can plant thirty-two gourd seedlings at a time. This can greatly improve the efficiency of obtaining treasure gourds.
In just over 400 days in just over a year, a total of four batches of spiritual gourds were tested, each planting thirty-two. A batch of small spiritual gourds would be produced every ten days.
What made Su Chen regretful was that after planting and harvesting it widely, no Three Treasure Gourd with the same roots had appeared so far.
However, the Erbao Gourd appeared three times.
This made Su Chen talk about **.
However, two of them have wood, water, and earth gourds, which have weak attributes, and their combat power is relatively weak after being refined into magic weapons.
Su Chen only left another second treasure gourd, which was in good condition and was a "wood and gold" second treasure. This gold system has sufficient power, which just makes up for his shortcomings of insufficient combat power.
As for the single treasure gourd, you will naturally get more, such as ice, wind gourd, etc.
But Su Chen is a wood-type immortal cultivator. His magic power is blue wood energy, so he can only use wood-type magic weapons. He cannot use other ice-type magic weapons.
Only the treasure gourd is an exception, such as the "wood and gold" two treasure gourds, which are the same magical tools.
He only needs to drive one of them and automatically drive the other one at the same time.
Su Chen discarded all the single treasure gourds and shoveled them away with the spiritual gourds and vines that failed to test, and used them as fertilizer in the spiritual field to avoid wasting their spiritual energy.
Taoyao continued to plant spiritual gourds in Lingshan to see if he could plant more than three treasures.
Su Chen did not sell the Duobao gourd.
This treasure gourd is a rare thing. If there are more than one on the market, it will easily cause surprise and suspicion.
Besides, it’s enough to have this treasure gourd by yourself, so why bother with other foundation-building cultivators? Su Chen didn’t want to have it with other cultivators when he was wandering around the Immortal Sect, and there were a few second treasures and three treasure gourds hanging around his waist when he met other cultivators.
He only left a two-treasure gourd, allowing it to continue to grow in the spiritual field, continue to produce more small gourds, and improve its grade. When it grows to the second-level top-grade, it will be refined into a set of second-level small top-grade magic weapon in the foundation-building stage.
In the Lingshan Mountain, in addition to planting spiritual herbs and gourd spirit vines, there are also six first-level middle-grade larvae of the Golden Phoenix Butterfly in the Qi Refining Stage, and a second-level ice silkworm.
The six young golden phoenix silkworms hatched from their eggs and were raised by Su Chen as soon as they were born, and were easily domesticated into spiritual insects.
The ice silkworm is different. It is wild and has a strong sense of resistance.
It took Su Chen more than a year to tame the wild second-level ice silkworm.
Compared with Tao Yao, this second-level ice silkworm looks stupid, but in fact it already has low-level intelligence and is quite afraid of death.
After several months of hunger, it reluctantly accepted Su Chen's "food" and ate some spiritual dew and spiritual honey.
This is a key step in transforming a wild monster into a domesticated spirit insect. If it goes on a hunger strike, it means it cannot be domesticated at all and can only be killed and roasted to eat it.
Su Chen often hungry him. When he was hungry, he domesticated him and only gave him a little food if he was obedient.
Su Chen spent more than half a year to tame it and obey the orders. It was not until it was completely docile and tamed that it put it into Lingshan and handed it over to Taoyao to continue training.
Su Chen didn't know how long it would take for this ice silkworm to form a cocoon and turn into a butterfly and enter the realm of the Golden Elixir stage.
Taoyao trains it with peach branches every day, forcing it to spit out a long ice silk every few days to prevent it from reserving its strength, and at the same time, it can also obtain precious second-level ice silk materials.
This ice silk material is very useful, with excellent "spiritual penetration and vision penetration" effects. It is a top-notch material for refining "invisible" magic weapons.
Su Chen collected these ice silk raw materials and prepared enough to make a stealth magic weapon. However, it would take a long time to do so.
Su Chen not only planted spiritual gourds in Lingshan, but also planted spiritual gourds in groups inside and outside his own yard, around the spiritual fields.
He went to a large farm in Penglai Immortal Sect, and bought some spiritual gourd vines that had been planted for 10 or 20 years, and transplanted them directly into the yard.
This doesn't take long to make the gourd spirit vine produce small spirit gourds, which saves him a lot of time.
Of course, he didn't expect to plant treasure gourds in such a place, mainly to cover up the eyes and let others know that he has planted many spiritual gourds, and in the future he wouldn't find it too strange to see him using the second treasure and three treasure gourd magic weapon.
Before these spiritual gourds have ageed, they can actually be eaten before they are used to refine spiritual gourd magic tools. Like the Spirit Valley, their spiritual energy can be absorbed by immortal cultivators.
Su Chen occasionally planted a few spiritual gourds and fryed them into a piece of spiritual vegetables and delicacies, and ate them with spiritual rice.
Although the mountain yard where Su Chen lives is located in a remote place, people often come to visit him.
Over the past year, there have been a constant stream of monks who came to visit each other.
Shen Dong, a small vendor in the late stage of Qi refining, has a very active business mind. Since he earned a lot of spirit stones last time, he often came to Su Chen to look for business opportunities.
Su Chen also needed Shen Dong, a Qi Refining Cultivator who was very familiar with the Penglai Immortal Sect, to help find medicinal materials. He sold the second-level spiritual pill he had refined to Shen Dong, and then Shen Dong sold it to sell it, which saved a lot of trouble.
In addition to Shen Dong, there are naturally many alchemists from Penglai Immortal Sect.
Such as Zhang Zhuo’s senior alchemist, Wang Qiu’s alchemist and others.
Master Wang Qiu has few friends in Penglai Immortal Sect, and it is rare to make friends with a fellow disciple like Su Chen, who is also a casual cultivator. He also likes him so he often visits Su Chen every few days, calling him acquaintance and exchanges alchemy techniques. In fact, he is just eating and drinking, and spending his spare time in the process of making alchemy.
Su Chen welcomed Wang Qiu with spiritual gourd dishes.
This spiritual dish is of course delicious.
But if you eat too many times, you will inevitably get bored.
Wang Qiu couldn't help feeling weak and thought to himself: Could it be that Junior Brother Su found that the first-level seven-treasure gourd was not very useful, so he returned to stir-fry the spiritual gourd dish to suggest his dissatisfaction? But if he wanted to change it, he would definitely not be able to change it!
He finally took off the first-level seven-treasure gourd, but he didn't want to take it back.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't mention this at all, which made Wang Qiubai worried for a long time.
On that day, Wang Qiu and Su Chen sat under a peach tree in the yard, finished their meal and tasted the wine.
When Wang Qiu saw that there were spiritual gourd vines planted everywhere inside and outside Su Chen's yard, he was puzzled: "Strange, Junior Brother Su, why are you suddenly so interested in these spiritual gourds? Why are spiritual gourds planted in the yard?"
"Ah, Senior Brother Wang doesn't know anything. I plan to work in Lingnong recently and try to grow the treasure gourd. It's just that the difficulty is a bit high and I won't be able to grow it for a while."
Su Chen picked up the cup and tasted the wine, and said lightly.
"Lingnong, are you planning to be an alchemist who is not doing his job properly?!"
Wang Qiu almost squirted out a mouthful of spiritual wine.
Alchemist and spiritual medicine master are more common. After all, it is okay to grow a spiritual medicine when dealing with spiritual medicine.
But no one did this at all.
However, if Su Chen really planned this way, I am afraid that the alchemists of Penglai Immortal Sect would breathe a sigh of relief.
The Lingnong's profession seems simple, and any Qi Refining disciple can do it. However, if you really go deeper and become a Lingnong master, the difficulty is not as difficult as that of an alchemist or an alchemist, and it is also extremely exhausting.
Su Chen was distracted by it. The improvement of the alchemy level might be very slow, and he might not be able to become an alchemy master in his entire life.
This junior brother Su is indeed a different idea than that of ordinary people.
However, it is extremely difficult to plant a treasure gourd, which is not something that ordinary spiritual farmers can do.
At least he is an experienced spiritual farmer. He has spent hundreds of years and had a little hope to plant the Three Treasures gourd.
"Junior Brother Su, if you plant treasure gourds, you must become a Lingnong Master. Are you busy with your alchemist and Lingnong Master?"
Wang Qiu said in surprise.
"Fortunately, everything is fine in your spare time!"
Su Chen smiled faintly.
Tao Yao was taking care of the spiritual gourd in Lingshan. He did various mutation experiments without any effort.
The large piece of spiritual gourd and spiritual vines in the yard are just a hidden sight and are not very useful. When you plant the treasure gourd by yourself in the future, everyone in Penglai Immortal Sect will not find it too strange.
What he needs is the identity of Lingnong.
What Su Chen really wants to do it himself is actually another thing, refining weapons.
This is his plan after careful consideration.
After the treasure gourd is planted, it needs to be refined before it can be made into a magic weapon.
If one day he wants to pick the seven-treasure gourd that has reached the highest level and refine it into a set of top-grade magic weapons, this rare magic weapon will definitely cause a huge wave when it comes out.
Who is not jealous? Who doesn’t want to take it away? The Golden Elders of Penglai Immortal Sect may not be able to sit still.
He felt that it was more reliable to refine the seven-treasure gourd by himself.
