Chapter two hundred and eighty third
"I didn't expect that they really developed it."
Zhang Fan's expression was still moving, but his heart suddenly became turbulent. He didn't want to see the legendary alchemy here, and judging from this situation, it seemed that he had developed to a considerable level.
The way of mine elixirs is a problem in this regard. There is no need to ask the Daoist Ku, Zhang Fan himself has learned a lot.
After all, he had studied the art of alchemy, so he naturally had a certain understanding of the alchemy that was circulated in the world of immortal cultivation and its inheritance and development.
Speaking of which, this is also related to the redevelopment of the alchemy after the great destruction of ancient times.
After the great destruction, the spiritual energy was lost in large quantities, leading to the extinction of many common spiritual herbs in ancient times, and the loss of some secret alchemy techniques. In a short time, the cultivators who rose again in the ruins fell into the dilemma of no spiritual elixir available.
Faced with this situation, many talented people began to study alchemy again, almost with the spirit of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. They looked for substitutes one by one, and restored some of the ancient alchemy recipes of dogs based on their efficacy.
Most of the elixirs refined in this way have much worse effects than similar elixirs in ancient times, but they are still better than nothing.
At this time, someone proposed an idea.
Since you can find alternatives, why not use other things to replace spiritual herbs as the main material for alchemy?
Spiritual grass will be affected by the dispersion of spiritual energy in the world, but some things will not, for example
Things.
Various materials can be extracted from minerals to refine magic weapons. Therefore, some people with quick minds have thought about why they cannot separate some useful parts from them to refine spiritual pills?
"Open a different path, the elixir of gold and petroleum!"
This is the so-called way of mineral elixir.
This idea, like a stone, caused a thousand waves, caused a huge response in the cultivation of immortals who studied the alchemy path. Some opponents rejected them as evil demons and heretics, and they were fantastic; some agreed, and began to experiment many times, trying to speak with facts.
If this continues, whether it succeeds or not, there will be a conclusion. I never thought that at this time, an accident happened.
This accident is not bad news. On the contrary, it is great news for the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Many spiritual medicines that were considered extinct after their condemnation have reappeared in some places.
Only then did the cultivators realize that not only humans, but also monsters, have extremely strong adaptability, aren't those spiritual herbs?
By this time, a long time had passed since the great destruction, and some spiritual herbs with strong adaptability had grown up again.
Now, both ordinary immortal cultivators and those who are interested in alchemy have turned their attention and began to study how to cultivate, choose suitable places, and let some spiritual herbs appear again.
This idea is more realistic than the way of mineral elixirs, and it is much easier to use the elixir recipes passed down from ancient times than everything starting from scratch.
Since there is a better choice, the way of mine elixir was left behind by everyone in an instant. It only left an irrelevant mark in the history of the development of alchemy, representing the wrong path that has appeared.
However, at this time, deep in the center of the earth, what appeared in front of Zhang Fan and Taoist Ku was not just a concept in his imagination, but a real secret alchemy method that was developed and improved, enough to support a large number of immortal cultivators to practice.
I walked along the way before, but at the beginning I didn’t feel it. The more I saw it later, the more confused Zhang Fan became.
Although this Hehuan City is just a city attached to Poshan City, the resources for cultivating immortals are quite rich, not less than some of the prosperous markets he saw in Qinzhou.
Magical instruments, spiritual weapons, talismans, array plates, and all kinds of refining materials are available, everything is like the surface of the earth. There are only two things, which are different from the surface.
These two things are the spiritual elixirs and spiritual herbs that are extremely needed by immortal cultivators and commonly used.
The spiritual elixir is better. Although it is extremely rare, it can be seen at some stalls by chance. However, the spiritual herbs are different. There are not thousands or hundreds of stalls. Among so many stalls, there are not even one of the most basic spiritual herbs, which is so strange that it immediately attracted Zhang Fan's attention.
Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for this kind of roadside stall. Either this thing does not exist at all, or the price is so high that these stall owners can't afford it, and they will only appear in large shops.
At this time, Zhang Fan also reacted. The special living environment underground, without sunlight, is filled with spiritual energy that is very different from the surface, and the special nature of earth fire, etc., will definitely make many common spiritual herbs on the surface unable to survive. Even if cultivated through special techniques, the cost will be far higher than that on the surface.
This will lead to a situation similar to that after the great destruction of ancient times, the monks here will face the dilemma of no spiritual pill available.
No matter how outstanding his qualifications are, an immortal cultivator has its limits. When he needs to break through at critical moments, it is necessary to assist the elixir. Even if this is not the case, it is a good thing to add icing on the cake to improve the speed of cultivation when practicing normally.
In the world of immortal cultivation without elixirs, there is almost no possibility of prosperity!
The situation I saw before shows that the world of immortal cultivation here is obviously very developed, with many immortal cultivation, even in an inconspicuous small village like Sijia Village, there is an immortal cultivation practitioner. How could it be that there is not enough spiritual pills? On the contrary, not only there are, but there are definitely many!
There is only one possibility, the earthly world, and there are also secret methods of alchemy!
The alchemy path here has embarked on a path that is very different from the surface of the earth. The most likely one is the mine alchemy path that once caused the huge waves of the sky. After all, deep in the center of the earth, everything is lacking, but the only thing that is not lacking is the inexhaustible minerals.
Many times, some methods are not created, but there is no need.
If it weren't for the critical moment that the extinct spirit herbs could be re-cultivated, then the way of mineral elixir would have been researched by the senior alchemists long ago.
Therefore, Zhang Fan was not surprised that these ancient descendants and the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation could have developed this secret alchemy method.
The reason why he chose this piece of Qinjin stone was also very particular.
The application of metal and stone in refining tools is mainly to refine some sand-like mass killing magic weapons. This kind of magic weapon is not commonly used, and its power is not very huge. It can be said that it is not very valuable.
However, the stall owner placed it in a conspicuous position. Such a thing is not of high value and is not very commonly used. There must be his reason for this arrangement. The most... the factory can be that it has the function outside the instrument. It makes its price better than that of refining materials that are even rarer.
Now it seems that it is exactly what you expect!
"Boy!"
The voice of the Ku Taoist was filled with anxiousness, as if he couldn't hold back. Images appeared in Zhang Fan's mind, all of which were his figures wandering around the ground, scratching his ears and heads.
"Don't let go of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Even if he didn't say this, Zhang Fan would not let this opportunity slip away in front of his eyes.
His palms were clenched tightly, and the size of a fist-sized Jinshi was firmly held in his hand, as if it was cracked, making a strange noise.
The clear vision suddenly opened, and a thoroughfare suddenly appeared in front of me, leading to endless distance.
Not long ago, Zhang Fan bought a large amount of spiritual herbs from Zhilantian. After that, everything went wrong until he entered the earthly world. He did not use it too much, which was enough to support him to practice for a long time. But no matter how much it is, he would finally end it. If he learns more methods, if he returns to the surface in the future, it will be another kind of accumulation. He will pounce on a shortcut ladder on the road of immortality.
Besides, within Baidong, he must achieve great success in the Golden Pill. Only in this way can he truly participate in the drama that took place in Qinzhou. He is a real starring actor, not a supporting role.
In that case, with his qualifications, it is almost impossible without the assistance of the elixir. Although the Nine-Turn Qiankun Cauldron is helpful, it is better to go further than the alchemy.
Let me ask, how could he let it go?
"Senior, look,"
A voice came into Zhang Fan's ears at this moment. It was the middle-aged stall owner who obviously saw him silent and was anxious.
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, stood up with a long body, and did not bargain, so he bought the Qinjin stone directly.
Then, without saying anything more, amid the enthusiastic greetings of the middle-aged stall owner who said "come again", he pulled Wan'er's little hand and turned around and left.
While walking, he said with a heart-to-heart message:
"Old man, it seems we have something to do.
At the same time, in my mind, the laughter of the Ku Taoist came, looking very interested.
After leaving the stall, Zhang Fan took a walk around Hehuan City. Except for those big shops, he saw almost all the stalls.
After doing all this, he finally had a rough understanding of the resources of cultivating immortals in the heart world.
In addition to some rare things, ordinary things can be found on the ground, and they are all available here, and the prices are extremely low. Even some things that are almost difficult to find on the ground can be seen here.
Time, Zhang Fan almost felt dazzled and itchy. If he hadn't realized that he had refining some ordinary spiritual weapons and magic weapons now, he would have almost wanted to lose everything and sweep away these refining materials.
Even the Taoist Ku was amazed. The straight path is really an immortal world for weapon refining masters.
In addition to refining materials, things like magic tools are not expensive and are very distinctive.
The magic tools you see on the road can be divided into two categories. One is produced in the Broken Mountain City. The techniques used are similar to those on the surface, and they are not in Zhang Fan's eyes. At most, they are just paying attention to the materials.
already.
For Zhang Fan and Ku Taoist, using such excellent materials to refine these things is simply a rare treasure.
The other type is different. They are similar to those used by the White Bone True Lord who Zhang Fan encountered on the surface. They are mainly made of animal bones and are refined with other metal materials.
Among these magical instruments, metal refining is just an auxiliary, and its main function is to exert the magical powers of the beast bone material itself.
In Zhang Fan's eyes, it is obvious that this type of magic weapon is more interesting, at least a bit new, and the bones of the wild beasts are even more insignificant.
After a little inquiry, Zhang Fan said that these bone magic weapons were from the nearest giant city Chongxuan City. Therefore, the two were not far apart and communicated frequently. Therefore, these magic weapons can be regarded as numerous as the Broken Mountain City and are not expensive. However, the real high-quality products still have to go to Chongxuan City and leave.
After walking around like this, Zhang Fan has a certain understanding of the prices here.
After all, it is an underground world. There are many minerals for refining materials, so the price is not enough. Things like magic tools refined from this are also affected by them. The price is relatively cheaper than on the surface.
Pills are different.
Here, the price of elixirs can be called sucking people. Zhang Fan saw several ordinary elixirs taken during the Qi refining period. The prices were above hundreds of spirit stones.
Such elixirs are only about a dozen spirit stones on the surface. Among them, there are high prices caused by the difficulty in refining elixirs here, and the problem of spirit stones is also the problem.
Underground, there are many more spiritual stone veins than on the surface, and the value of the spirit stone itself has been greatly reduced. If it weren't for the auxiliary cultivation, it would be cheaper than ordinary material refining.
In the earthly center world, the real currency that circulates forever preserves its value is actually the type of elixir.
After knowing this, Zhang Fan also understood a little why the old man Si Xina was so happy that he was so lucky that he had seen the price now that the bottle of elixir was enough to buy his entire village.
After walking around the road, the information I wanted was basically clear. If you want to be clearer and go further, you need to search for it in large shops.
However, Zhang Fan was not going to go again.
If he hadn't received enough information from these stalls, he was going to go there, but now he can do it.
After all, this place is not Qinzhou. Without the identity of a core disciple of the sect, many things are not so convenient, and there are many more concerns out of thin air.
If he was in Qinzhou, he could naturally appear in various large shops in a noble way, without worrying about not revealing his money at all. After all, as long as he did not reveal the treasures above the magic weapon level, those large shops would not risk the crime of the Faxiang Sect to commit money and kill life.
It's different now. If he is not prepared and fully confident, he will not take unnecessary dangers to step on it.
Just as Zhang Fan was about to leave first, a noisy sound suddenly came into his ears.
"Um.
When I looked back suddenly, I saw a strange look on Zhang Fan's face.
Chapter completed!
