Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Tangning took out a pill in her hand and swallowed it.

The elixir melted, and spiritual power circulated around his body. After about two hours, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Since the golden blood was absorbed in his body and the muscles and bones were tempered several times with Xuanwu blood, he obviously felt that the speed of absorbing and refining spiritual power was more than a little faster than usual.

It used to take four or five hours to refine a pill, but now it only takes two hours to complete.

He had a vague guess in his heart, maybe after his body was tempered by the blood of Xuanwu, his own spiritual root aptitude had been "quality" improved.

If this is the case, then my trip to Millennium Island is really worth it.

It should be known that spiritual root aptitude is accompanied by a monk's life. Although it does not represent the final achievement of a monk, it determines the speed at which a monk absorbs and refines spiritual power.

This also means that he can refine more spiritual power reserves in a shorter period of time. For example, the pill that originally took four or five hours to refine now only takes two hours, saving more than half of the time. , the speed of practice has more than doubled.

There seemed to be light in Tangning's eyes, and his eyes were burning and menacing. If his spiritual root aptitude was really improved by absorbing the Xuanwu blood, his future cultivation would be smooth sailing, and the avenue would no longer be an unattainable dream.

Before, he had always lacked confidence in how far he could go on the road of cultivation, because the spiritual root aptitude was too low, and the speed of Qi training was far behind others.

The higher the cultivation level, the more spiritual power in the body, and the more important the spiritual root qualification is.

The spiritual power of low-level disciples is not much, and there is not much difference. If the cultivation is smooth and there is no bottleneck, the person with the best spiritual root aptitude is only a step faster than the person with the lower aptitude, at most a few. The difference between ten and hundreds of years.

As the cultivation base gets higher and the spiritual power increases, the spiritual root qualification becomes even more important, which means that he has more time.

It took Tang Ning a total of [-] years to break through from the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. You must know that the lifespan of the early stage of the Nascent Soul is [-] years, and the lifespan of the mid-stage Nascent Soul is [-] years.

The difference between the two is two hundred years of life essence, and it took him one hundred and fifty-two years to take this step. From the perspective of life essence increase, it is basically a waste of time to take this step.

This is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, if one is lucky enough to visit the Transforming God Mirror, the more spiritual power one has in one's body, the more important is the speed of spiritual power refining.

With his spiritual root aptitude, every time he advances to a step in the Mirror of Transformation, his lifespan will increase by four hundred years, but his spiritual strength will increase by more than ten times.

Four hundred years of lifespan may not be enough for him to practice Qi and practice to the next level.

Going down this path, there is no particularly powerful opportunity, such as the Millennium Spiritual Milk, such as this trip to Millennium Island, even if he is lucky enough to break through the transformation of the gods, or even refine the void, one day he will be able to do so because of the speed of refining qi. If you don't grow your lifespan, you will eventually die.

Some people may be wondering why the spiritual power in each of the previous great realms was ten times different, but he was able to reach this step without hindrance all the way.

However, the higher the cultivation level, the lower the spiritual root aptitude will make it impossible to go on.

The reason is actually very simple. If you compare the spiritual power of a monk in the Qi training period to one, the spiritual power in the foundation building period is ten. Although the difference is ten times, in fact there is only a gap of nine.

In the same way, Jindan is one hundred, and there is a gap of ninety between Foundation Establishment.

Yuanying is one thousand, and the gap between Jindan and Jindan is nine hundred.

The power of Huashen is [-], which is only [-] different from the power of Nascent Soul.

Although the same ten times, due to the different bases, the gap between the two is also very different.

The increase in lifespan is far less than the increase in demand for spiritual power, so it is difficult for monks with low qualifications to become top monks in the world if they do not have great opportunities.

So when Su Yuanhua talked about this matter, he said that sooner or later he and Liu Ruhan would become a gray-haired old man and the other a cardamom girl because of the difference in spiritual root aptitude. He was speechless and unable to refute.

Because he knew in his heart that this was a basically established fact.

Now, because of absorbing the sacred blood of Xuanwu, his spiritual root aptitude has been "qualitatively" improved, and all the previous difficulties and problems are instantly resolved.

Tang Ning seemed to see that in the not-too-distant future, he was sitting in the towering and majestic hall of Emperor Taixuan, talking and laughing freely with Su Yuanhua and even Nangong Muxue.

The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, he flipped his hands over, took out a elixir and swallowed it again, and began to refine it.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next day, Tangning came to pay a visit to Renquan Cave Mansion again. After waiting for a long time, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came out from inside and said, "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Ren has important matters to deal with today, so he can't be free. , you should come again next time!"

……

On the third day, he came back here, and this time he finally got a chance to meet. In the spacious and bright hall, the man led him in and then backed out. About half an hour later, Ren Quan came slowly.

"Disciple pays respects to Master Ren."

Ren Quan walked to the main seat with a blank expression: "There is no need to be polite, you can sit too!"

"Thank you, Master Uncle." Tangning sat down as she said, "This disciple went out on business earlier, and didn't expect to encounter danger. He was trapped in a dark place for decades, but fortunately he escaped by luck. He returned to the headquarters the day before yesterday, so he took the liberty to bother you. report to you."

Ren Quan glanced at him: "Why are you going out?"

"The disciple got a treasure map, and the location was shown in the Nether Sea. During that period of time, there was no important business in the headquarters. After reporting to Master Huang, the disciple took a merchant ship to go. I thought it would only take two or three years to come back. Unexpectedly Trapped in a dimensional rift for decades."

"The state has national laws, and the sect has its own rules. Since you are going out on private matters and have not heard from you for so long, you will naturally be punished accordingly. If everyone leaves on their own initiative like you, what will the sect look like?"

Hearing his reprimand, Tang Ning felt a little displeased. He had already advocated dismissing him from his position before, but now he still said these things to show his prestige. He kept his face calm and nodded, "Master, blame me!" What's more, the disciple knows his mistake."

"Presumably you already know that after the alliance's resolution, submitting to the Zongmen has already removed you from the positions of brigade steward and squad leader. Since you have not served in the headquarters for a long time, your salary for these years has also been deducted."

"Yes."

"About your new position, wait for me to find time to report to the wing, and then make arrangements. There is nothing else, you can go."

"Disciple, leave." Tangning stood up and left the room.

……

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. In the alchemy room, a middle-aged man with five short stature is concentrating on the changes of the pills in the Danding. His left hand covers the hole on the left side of the Danding. The flames of spiritual power surround the pills. Roasting, spiritual consciousness led the main medicine powder into the elixir.

After a while, the man frowned and slapped the cauldron, a round pill was spit out from the dragon's mouth, and before it fell into the wooden box below, it turned into a ball of powder.

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, exhaled lightly, and there was no look of annoyance in his expression, but a little more thoughtful and dignified. Then he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to think.

I don't know how long it took before there was a knock on the door outside, and then the stone door was pushed open. The man opened his eyes and turned his head to look, only to see a handsome, thirty-year-old man in Tai Xuanzong's costume Come in from the outside.

The person who came was none other than Tang Ning. This is where Shao Hui refined the elixir.

"Friend Shao, it's been a long time," Tangning said with a smile.

When Shao Hui saw that it was him, his expression was a little unnatural, and he stood up and said back, "Senior Tang, you are back."

"You don't need to be so polite. Since you have successfully conceived a baby, we should be treated as equals. I went out on a private trip earlier and encountered some obstacles, so it was delayed for so many years. I only returned to the headquarters a few days ago. I know that you are still here. Here is the alchemy hall, so come and have a look."

"Thank you senior for remembering, Senior Tang, I..." Shao Hui hesitated to speak.

"Shao Daoyou, I heard that you are now an alchemist recruited by this shop. I wonder if this is true?"

Shao Hui blushed slightly: "Senior Tang, let me take this matter slowly. In fact, I have always wanted to explain it to you, but I just didn't have the chance."

"Since you disappeared, the supply of elixir for alchemy here has been cut off, and I can only buy the main medicine outside. At first, it was still able to support it. Later, the person in charge here told me that I will take back the use of my alchemy room. right, unless I join them and refine medicine for them."

"I have no choice but to accept."

Tangning nodded. He and Shao Hui originally had a cooperative relationship. Shao Hui was in charge of refining the elixir, and he was responsible for providing the elixir and paying his salary. The profits from alchemy were divided [-]/[-].

Now that the alchemy hall here recruits him, it means that he has been eliminated by three shocks, and the previous agreement between the two of them will naturally be invalidated.

So people take tea to cool down, but that's the case.

This alchemy hall was originally one of the alliance's private properties. It was he who found Xu Mengyuan and asked him to sell his favors, so he placed Shao Hui in, freed up an alchemy room, and only delivered a small amount of spirit stones every year.

Now Fang Dasheng, who is the head of the alliance, has been transferred to the fifth column, so the properties under the alliance will naturally have to be handed over to the new head, Hao Jianren.

In this dynasty, since Fang Dasheng had been transferred and Hao Jianren was in charge, the management of the alchemy hall was naturally replaced by his subordinates.

Naturally, they would not buy Xu Mengyuan's account, so Shao Hui could not continue to occupy the alchemy room, which is also reasonable.

Seeing that he was silent, Shao Hui thought he was angry because of this, so he said: "Senior Tang, you are kind to me and my wife, and we will always remember your kindness. As long as you find a new alchemy room, we will Leave here immediately, our previous cooperation agreement can still be carried out, what do you think?"

"Fellow Daoist Shao, don't misunderstand me. I just came to visit my old friend today, not to incriminate the teacher. What's more, it's not your fault, it's my failure to fulfill our previous agreement," Tangning said.

The reason why he wanted to win over Shao Hui to take him under his command was mainly because of his talent and potential in alchemy. As far as the current situation is concerned, he has not gained much benefit from the cooperation between the two.

Therefore, he didn't care too much about Shao Hui's leaving him and cooperating with the Alchemy Palace. What he valued was his future potential, not his current value.

Besides, he has a lot of troubles of his own now, how can he have the energy and ability to provide him with pills and find a new alchemy hall, as long as he has his promise.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. If you need it in the future, you can tell me at any time."

"Okay, I remember this sentence, I think we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
