Chapter 162 War
Tangning took out the medicinal herbs from the storage bag and placed them on the chopping board. He opened the cabinet on the right, and there were a lot of supplementary medicines, such as angelica and sealwort. Fire handle.

Not long after, a mass of crimson flames appeared from under the cauldron. Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of earthy yellow in the flames.

The name "Earth Lung True Fire" is taken from the flames three thousand feet below the ground. It has the effect of dissolving spiritual power, and can speed up the fusion of pills and pills during alchemy, so it is very popular among alchemists in the practice world.

This alchemy room is not cheap, it costs ten spirit stones a day, and he paid five hundred spirit stones as a deposit the first time he came.

Seeing the flames rising, Tangning threw the pills from the left hole, put his right hand on the right hole, and used his spiritual power to melt the fire. His spiritual sense felt the changes of the inner pills and the main medicine in the Danding, controlling the temperature of the flame. Pulling it with spiritual power, the powder of the main medicine and the pill are integrated into one.

After a long time, only a slight sound of "here" was heard, he frowned, left the cauldron with his right hand, tapped it lightly, and a dark black pill spit out from the dragon's mouth and landed in the wooden box below.

Before he could pick it up, the elixir turned into powder with a "pop" sound. The soft sound inside the cauldron just now was due to the high temperature, the inside of the elixir disintegrated too quickly, and the main elixir had not yet completely dissolved. Integration, even if it is finally completed, it can only be a waste pill.

Tangning didn't rush to continue refining. Instead, she closed her eyes and rested for a while, carefully thinking about her feelings just now and the reason for her failure. After a while, she started refining again.

He is still at the stage of refining Qi Condensing Pills. After one or two months, the number of successes can be counted on the fingers, and the success rate is less than [-]%.

There is no way, the elixir cannot be made with just one elixir formula, otherwise so many alchemists in the world would still stay at the level of first-order elixir throughout their lives.

There is no shortcut for the elixir, it relies on the accumulation of massive experience, of course, talent is also quite important, the former determines the lower limit of an alchemist, and the latter determines the upper limit.

The so-called stupid bird flying first was most vividly expressed in the medicine pill.

…………

The aurora boat passed through the clouds and fog, and carried everyone towards the Luoyun Mountains. The battle of Xuanyue Mountain, the battle between the three sects of Xuanmen and the four sects of Demon Sect, finally ended after half a year.

Xuanmen finally recaptured the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine, and set up a large defensive formation. The sound transmission formation was also repaired, and six Jindan monks were sent to guard it.

Although Mozong withdrew from Xuanyue Mountain, he took away four small spiritual mines controlled by Xuanmen in a blink of an eye, as evidence.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the Taoist sect was unable to recapture the four spiritual mines, so they had to give up for the time being and return to their sects to cultivate.

Not long after, the aurora boat passed through the Zongmen's formation and arrived at Qianxing Mountain. Everyone got off the Dharma boat and went back to their headquarters.

Inside the cave, Wei Xuande leaned on the railing, threw the bait in his hand into the lake, looked at the school of fish competing for food, and sighed slightly.

After the integration of the Blood Bone Sect and the Corpse Puppet Sect, the strength has greatly increased. With the addition of the New Moon Sect and the Phantom Sect, its overall strength is not much weaker than the three sects of the Xuan Sect. If the stalemate continues, it is not certain who will win the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine in the end.

Obviously, Mozong sent a "goodwill" signal, unwilling to fight with Xuanmen to the death, and hurt both sides, so he withdrew from Xuanyue Mountain and seized four spiritual mines in a blink of an eye.

Its actual value is not lower than Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine.

The annual output of each of its spiritual mines is about [-] spiritual stones, and the sum of the four spiritual mines is equivalent to the output of Xuanyue Mountain's spiritual mines.

If it was in the past, let alone the four spirit mines, even if the Demon Sect made a slight provocation, they would still run away with their heads in their arms, but now it is different from the past. The donkey got it down the slope, is it possible that they really want to hug each other to death, beat them to death and injure them, and benefit others?
After this battle, the Demon Sect and the Taoist Sect have established a tendency to fight against each other. The situation in Xingang will not change in a short time. If you can be promoted to Yuanying like the old Gang Canhuazong's head teacher, it will naturally change the current situation. situation.

But this is impossible. Among the three cultivators of Xingang Xuanmen, he has the most profound cultivation, and he has been trapped in the late stage of Golden Core for more than a hundred years. long distance.

As early as a hundred years ago, he had stepped into the late stage of Jindan, and his cultivation stagnated after a short time. He encountered the Sighing Tribulation, and he was trapped for a hundred years.

Otherwise, why would he feed fish and birds leisurely every day, it's because his cultivation base can't make any progress.

During the Qi refining period, every time a monk reaches the third, sixth, or ninth floor, and the spiritual energy is overflowing, he will encounter a bottleneck.

But once entering the foundation building period, this kind of practice bottleneck will be encountered at any time during the practice, and the practice circle calls it the sigh disaster.

This calamity is different from the fact that the spiritual energy of a qi refining disciple is overflowing, and the container of the body cannot hold it.

This is a bottleneck in the state of mind, monks practice regardless of the sun and the moon, and sometimes sit for several years.

Sometimes I feel boring, and sometimes I have cultivated a supernatural power, and I am full of energy, or I am proud of my cultivation base. This kind of ups and downs in the mood will cause the cultivation base to stagnate, and the spiritual energy cannot be stored in the spiritual sea after refining. hole, had to let it drain.

If you want to say it, it is equivalent to the hole of Linghai Cave being blocked by a wooden block. It is like a bottle that could hold a bottle of water, but you only filled half the bottle and someone filled it with wooden blocks. As a result, the newly added water does not flow in.

The practice circle calls it the Sighing Calamity.

The monk's encounter with the Sighing Calamity is more serious than the practice bottleneck. The practice bottleneck is just that the aura is overflowing and the body container cannot hold it. There are special medicines in the world to deal with the practice bottleneck, which can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck.

Sighing Jie has no external force to rely on, and can only be resolved by chance.But chance is the most mysterious thing, what kind of experience, gains and losses can be called a chance?

Since ancient times, no one has been able to make a standard definition.

He feeds the fish and raises the birds every day in order to maintain a peaceful state of mind, and to explore the magic of integration with all things in nature, so as to seek the mysterious and mysterious opportunities.

Zhuang Xinqian walked behind him slowly: "Master, everything has been dealt with."

Wei Xuande nodded. In this battle, two Jindan cultivators of Qianyizong perished, dozens of foundation disciples died, and Qi refining disciples were invincible. Not to mention grim.

Especially the golden core monks, these people are the top combat power of the sect, and one death will be one less. With the scarcity of resources in Xingang, it is so difficult to train a golden core monk. Since the war with the demon sect, they have died one after another Kill three people.

When these people died in battle, the sect had to take care of the funeral affairs for them. Those who had descendants should compensate their descendants, and those who had no descendants should arrange their disciples and grandchildren, and those monks who established the foundation and those who had direct relatives should also be compensated accordingly.

"Master, now that the Demon Sect has occupied the four spiritual mines, will it attack other spiritual mines next? It seems that the manpower of the spiritual mines alone is not enough to withstand the attack of the Demon Sect." Zhuang Xin asked.

"The Demon Sect won't launch a new round of offensive so soon. They also need to recuperate. Do you know why they withdrew from Xuanyue Mountain?"

"Probably because we quickly built a large defensive formation after occupying Xuanyue Mountain. If they would lose too much by attacking the large formation, they would give up Xuanyue Mountain and move to several other spiritual mines."

Wei Xuande said: "Ganer, you only know one thing and don't know the other, you can't look at the problem so simply."

Zhuang Xinqian frowned and said, "Could it be that there is something else hidden, what does Master mean? Is there an internal dispute? Or?"

"Anything in this world hides its own cause and effect, and cannot be analyzed as a single event, especially when it involves the interests of the sect. Why do we fight to the death with the Demon Sect? It is not for the sake of competing for cultivation resources, but for our own interests."

"I don't quite understand what Master said. Our battle with the Demon Sect is naturally for cultivation resources. It is for this reason that they captured the Spirit Mine, but what does this have to do with their withdrawal from Xuanyue Mountain?"

"Let me ask you, during the Xuanyue Mountain battle, how much more powerful was the Mozong than my Xuanmen?"

Zhuang Xinqian pondered for a while: "At the beginning, the Demon Sect's combat power was very strong, and the disciples under the sect were all desperate. We were defeated in several battles. Later, it seemed that the willingness to fight was not very high. Since we occupied the Spirit Mine, they attacked Fang Fang several times. A lot of people started to flee when they came into contact with it.”

"Then why do you think that's the case?"

"Probably because of the loose internal organization. After all, there were conflicts between the various factions and the main altar. After several battles, there were many casualties, and no one was willing to consume the power of their own faction. In this way, there were differences at the top and there was no unified order. The disciples under the sect Forced to fight with us, so I have no intention of fighting, and I will retreat after a fight."

"What you said is good, but it's not the main reason. The reason why the fighting power of the Demon Sect cultivators dropped sharply in the later stage is that the higher-ups didn't want to fight with death. Even the Jindan cultivators were perfunctory. Is it a battle to the death?"

"Didn't the Demon Sect want to get that spiritual mine? Why didn't the higher-ups try their best? They will benefit the most from winning the spiritual mine."

"Do you know why the Demon Sect has repeatedly made waves in recent years, and it is also internal integration, and it is also counterattacking Xuanmen, occupying mountains and dominating mines?"

"Master said that it was because of the large-scale invasion of the Yaozu, and various sects of Xuanmen dispatched a large number of elite disciples to Liangzhou to resist the Yaozu, resulting in an emptiness inside. The Yaozu sent people to confuse the Demon Sect to join forces with them, and the Yaozu tigers were ignored, and the Demon Sect was entrenched Internally, we will put pressure on the Taoist sect together to obtain its maximum benefits. The Demon Sect, seeing the great results achieved by the demon clan, borrowed the power of the demon clan to integrate itself internally, and also wanted to take this opportunity to take a share of the soup."

"Then tell me why the Demon Sect took advantage of the power of the demon clan to take action, but it has been dormant before, hiding in a mouse hole."

"Of course it's because of the weak power. The Demon Sect alone is not enough to contend against the Xuanmen. Therefore, it is necessary to use the power of the Yaozu to restrain most of the Xuanmen's power before they are willing to attack."
