Xiuxian: My skills have entries

Chapter 82 Interest
If Zhao Ruyi is given a little more time, he might be able to reach a higher level and become a fifth-level alchemist.

Sadly, there is no if.

Unlike his alchemy talent, which is like cheating, Zhao Ruyi's cultivation talent can only be described as ordinary, just a four-spirit root.

Although it is not the lowest level of five spiritual roots, its condition is not much better.

Zhao Ruyi was more willing to spend time on refining elixirs than practicing at a slow tortoise-like speed.

Until his cultivation is not enough to support alchemy, he will set aside some time for cultivation.

Even, in order to save training time, he also developed elixirs specifically for this purpose to assist in training.

In this way, Zhao Ruyi successfully cultivated all the way to the peak of the golden elixir.

Then, he got stuck at the bottleneck of Nascent Soul.

Not an inch.

How huge is the bottleneck from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul?

You must know that all monks who can cultivate to the golden elixir realm are one in a million, and they have no shortage of talents, talents, and resources.

But even so, in the huge Qingyang Sect, there are still more than ten golden elixirs, but there is still only one Nascent Soul, the Supreme Elder.

What stuck these golden core monks?

The answer is, the gateway of life and death.

The golden elixir is shattered, and the nascent baby comes out.

If it is not broken, it will not be established, if it is not dead, it will not be alive.

If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the most important thing is to understand the true meaning of living toward death, break through and then stand up, break through the mystery of life and death, and enjoy the road to immortality.

And Zhao Ruyi has been obsessed with alchemy since he practiced, and has never had a life-and-death duel.

Even after he showed his alchemy talent, any danger the size of a sesame seed would be snuffed out in an instant, not to mention a crisis that could threaten his life.

In this way, how could Zhao Ruyi break through the barrier of life and death?

But it's not realistic for Qingyangzong to give up protecting Zhao Ruyi. In addition, Zhao Ruyi's character is also greedy for life and afraid of death and pain, so this matter just goes away.

Unable to make any progress in his cultivation, Zhao Ruyi turned his attention back to alchemy.

However, there is another huge qualitative change from a fourth-level alchemist to a fifth-level alchemist.

Its difficulty is no less than that of Nascent Soul breaking through to becoming a god.

Even with Zhao Ruyi's outstanding talent, if he wants to cross this gap, he will need at least another 500 years of study.

At that time, Zhao Ruyi only had more than [-] years left in his life.

With some life-extending elixirs and other means, life can be extended by another 100 years or so.

But this is the limit.

Extending life is an act that defies heaven. When a monk reaches the golden elixir realm, conventional life extension techniques can no longer work.

The reason why he was able to extend his life by an extra 100 years was because Zhao Ruyi had perfected his alchemy skills and developed many new life-extending elixirs.

With no further hope in alchemy or cultivation, Zhao Ruyi began to look for a successor.

It's a pity to bring alchemy skills into the grave like this.

At first, Zhao Ruyi wanted to find an apprentice who was as talented as him in alchemy, and he was extremely picky.

After all, if the apprentice who inherited his alchemy skills can break through to the fifth-level alchemist in the future, rounding up to five, it is equivalent to breaking through by himself.

In this way, I can also smile at Jiuquan below.

But as time went by, he discovered a very cruel fact.

Not to mention disciples who can match him in alchemy talent, even those who are slightly inferior to him, can't be found at all.

If you still have this mentality, you may really take your skills to the grave.

Therefore, Zhao Ruyi could only lower the conditions appropriately, again and again.

In the end, there were only two requirements left:
1. You must have a certain talent for alchemy
2. You must have the spirituality to make alchemy

However, even so, there are still very few people who meet the conditions.

Mainly stuck on the second requirement.

What is the spirituality of alchemy?
This is a rather mysterious word.

Zhao Ruyi himself couldn't find a more suitable sentence to describe it.

Therefore, he can only judge with his own eyes.

Since then, he has watched all the competitions in the Alchemy Hall, and he has never been absent from every entrance examination.

Until now, Zhao Ruyi has selected three spiritual disciples in total.

He tried to cultivate it.

The level of alchemy of the three disciples has increased rapidly, but the spirituality that Zhao Ruyi cares about most is rapidly losing.

After losing their spirituality, they made little progress in alchemy, almost no progress.

Zhao Ruyi was very puzzled. He didn't know whether this was a problem with his own educational ability, or whether the spirituality of the three disciples was not really spiritual.

However, the matter has come to this, and the spirituality of the three disciples cannot be restored.

Zhao Ruyi could only start looking for disciples again.

Only this time, he planned to change his training plan.

……

Zhao Ruyi continued to scan the situation in the examination room, focusing on the candidates' alchemy techniques.

"Mediocre, mediocre... mediocre to the extreme!"

He criticized one by one, and his mood dropped little by little.

'It seems that there are no spiritual people in this examination room...'

There were only a few candidates left. Zhao Ruyi let out a long sigh and planned to quickly pass by and go to the next examination room.

But at this moment, he noticed a very young-looking candidate.

"This...this is..."

Seeing the examinee skillfully using each technique to refine a pot of spirit-melting elixir, Zhao Ruyi's eyes gradually widened, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

One thing to say here is that in order to facilitate the scoring of candidates in this exam, all the alchemy furnaces used are custom-made alchemy furnaces provided by the Alchemy Hall.

The alchemy furnace itself has no bonuses, and the style is very ordinary, but the color is different from other alchemy furnaces.

This kind of alchemy furnace is transparent, and the alchemy process inside can be seen from the outside world at a glance.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ruyi could easily see what kind of elixir the candidate was refining and the method he used in refining the elixir.

Having said that, the reason why Zhao Ruyi was so surprised was naturally not because of the candidate's skill in alchemy.

After all, it is just a common spirit-melting pill, so it is not surprising to have such proficiency.

What really surprised him was the technique that the candidate used to refine the Spiritual Fusion Pill.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the technique recorded in the soul-enhancing elixir recipe... No. 30 Nine Styles... Six Styles..."

Zhao Ruyi became more and more frightened as he watched. He couldn't help but walked into the examination room and stood next to the examinee to watch carefully.

Luo Meihong who was next to her was overjoyed when she saw this. Instead of trying to stop him, she happily followed Zhao Ruyi in.

After Zhao Ruyi stood still, Luo Meihong couldn't help but take a closer look at the candidate in front of him who cared so much about him.

This is a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair and black eyes, and a handsome face.

At this moment, the young man poured spiritual power into the custom-made pill furnace with a positive expression, and calmly used various dazzling techniques to refine the unformed pill.

This kind of performance stood out among the nervous candidates and was extremely conspicuous.

"Huh? That's not right, aren't the pills needed for the exam all the common first-tier low-grade pills? How can you use so many tricks?"

Looking at it, Luo Meihong also realized that something was wrong.

Although she is not an alchemist, she has been working in the alchemy hall for a long time and has learned more or less some relevant knowledge.
