Mortal Cultivation: I Have a Mirror of Absurdity

Chapter 43 43 The realm of fake elixir

After retreating, Wang Geng did not start refining alchemy directly. Instead, he first took out the four jade slips that recorded the 'Shaoyang Alchemy Way', and then began to read the above content word for word, and understand and understand it, even if he occasionally encountered some unclear words. I also keep all the things I understand in my mind one by one, hoping to clarify their functions and meanings when I actually make elixirs, and finally master them.

Although Wang Geng has now mastered the intermediate alchemy technique and can refine elixirs that can increase his cultivation during the foundation building period, due to his lack of experience in actual alchemy, the success rate of alchemy is only a little over 40%.

If he were to make elixirs with this success rate, I'm afraid if one of them fails, more than half of his thirty-odd demon elixirs would become useless. By then, even with the help of Ridiculous Mirror, the elixirs he finally obtained might not be able to support him in completing the process. Three rounds, let alone cultivating to the fake elixir realm.

It is for this reason that Wang Geng treats the matter of alchemy with such caution.

Two months later, when Wang Geng thought that he had completely memorized Shaoyang's alchemy method, he released the absurd mirror and took a look at all the fifth-level demon elixirs, doubling their number at once. , and then took out a dozen small earth-yellow cauldrons left by Shao Yangzi, and began to cultivate medicinal materials according to a certain prescription.

In the past, monks who were building foundations could only use earth fire to refine elixirs. This alchemy method consumes less mana and makes elixirs very quickly. However, monks who are building foundations can use innate true fire to refine elixirs. This alchemy method can increase the success rate of elixirs, but It consumes a lot of mana. During the process of refining alchemy, monks have to stop from time to time to meditate and refining their energy to restore their mana, which will greatly reduce the speed of elixir refining.

Because the number of level five demon pills was not very large, in order to refine as many pills as possible, Wang Geng finally had no choice but to use Xiantian True Fire to refine pills.

When Wang Geng started refining alchemy, the success rate was still only more than 40% and less than 50%.

However, the 'Shaoyang Alchemy Way' was indeed summed up by the master of alchemy in the alchemy stage. After he mastered all the above tips and experiences, the success rate of alchemy quickly increased from nearly 50% to nearly 70%. Of course, This is indispensable to the contribution of more than a dozen small earth-yellow tripods.

They are the best alchemy furnaces specially made for alchemy refining. They can make it easier for Wang Geng to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace and the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and then more easily master the temperature of the elixirs in the alchemy furnace. Once used, an additional The success rate of alchemy is much higher.

Two years later, when Wang Geng finished refining the last batch of elixirs, he already had as many as 186 more elixirs in his hand that could increase his cultivation during the foundation-building period.

There are more than twenty types of these elixirs, and they contain different medicinal powers. Unfortunately, thirty of them have relatively small medicinal powers and are only suitable for monks in the early stages of foundation building.

In other words, Wang Geng finally got 156 suitable elixirs, which was enough to help him reach the realm of fake elixirs.

After refining the elixir, Wang Geng rested for two days to recover from physical and mental fatigue.

On the third day, in the cave, I began to ponder the issue of forming elixirs after cultivating to the realm of fake elixirs.

If Wang Geng remembers correctly, among mortals, the chance of a monk in the fake elixir realm being able to successfully form an elixir is less than one-third, which means that there will only be a handful of monks who can enter the elixir-forming stage.

The only methods that can significantly increase the chance of forming an elixir are exercises and elixirs.

Han Lao Mo was able to form elixirs with the help of two techniques and some elixirs.

The third turn of the Heavy Yuan Gong in the Qing Yuan Sword Jue finally almost doubled his mana and circumvented part of the pill forming bottleneck. The Dayan Jue raised his spiritual consciousness to an incredible level and also circumvented part of the bottleneck. Pill bottleneck.

In addition, Snow Spirit Water, Heavenly Fire Liquid and Dust Falling Pill also increased the probability of pill formation, which allowed Old Demon Han to successfully form pills in the end.

When Wang Geng started to think about himself, he thought that although he would not be able to perform the third turn of the Chongyuan Gong, when he completed the third turn of the Mountain Moving Technique, his own mana would be nearly doubled, so there would be no problem in evading some of the bottlenecks in forming pills.

It is a pity that he has not practiced any techniques to enhance his spiritual thoughts and consciousness. This part of the bottleneck of forming pills cannot be circumvented in the end.

Among the elixirs that increase the chance of forming elixirs, Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid are easy to buy, while dust-falling elixirs are very rare. If you want to buy them, you can only try your luck.

Thinking of this, Wang Geng suddenly remembered something, and then rummaged through several storage bags around his waist to find something.

After a moment, Wang Geng had a flash of light in his hand and a jade bottle appeared. After opening the cork, two blue pills with dim light were revealed inside.

These two pills are ancient pills that can increase cultivation and are suitable for monks in the late stage of foundation building. At the same time, they can also increase the chance of forming a pill.

These two ancient elixirs were obtained by Wang Geng after he killed the traitor of the Hidden Moon Sect near the Tiannan Ancient Teleportation Formation. Later, he learned about the miraculous effects of this elixir after consulting the sect's classics.

It is a pity that after countless years, although they were finally saved by luck, most of their medicinal power has been lost, and the chance of increasing the pill formation will not be too much.

After copying it first and putting away the bottle containing the ancient elixir, Wang Geng immediately set off for Tianxing City and bought all the Xue Ling Shui and Tianhuo Liquid in only half a day. Unfortunately, in the next month, Here, Wang Geng has not seen even the shadow of a dust-falling pill.

While waiting, Wang Geng once again started using the Ridiculous Mirror to copy high-value items, and then traded them in various shops in Tianxing City.

The last time he came to Tianxing City to trade items was more than ten years ago. After such a long time, he went to a different store. Wang Geng thought that no one would notice him, so he made the transaction with confidence and boldness. He bought more than a dozen high-value items and once again earned 400,000 spiritual stones in one month.

At this point, Wang Geng calmed down and went around the city with peace of mind looking for news about the Dust-falling Pill. Unfortunately, after another two months passed, there was still no result.

Finally, Wang Geng suddenly realized that it was not a good idea to keep waiting like this. He should go back to the cave to practice to the fake elixir realm first, and then try to hit the elixir-forming bottleneck. If he succeeds by luck, everyone will be happy. If he fails, then by then, It's not too late to look for the dust-reducing pill.

Although Wang Geng had already made a decision in his heart, before leaving, Wang Geng still entrusted several large shops to help him keep an eye on the news about Chenchen Dan. After finding it, he must be notified first, and he even paid nearly a thousand spirit stones as a deposit for this purpose. .

At this point, Wang Geng returned to the cave and officially prepared to start long-term retreat practice.

One day later, in the practice room of Dongfu, Wang Geng took a red pill and gently put it into his mouth, swallowed it, and then picked up the formula for the mid-term foundation building exercises of Moving Mountain, and waited for the pill in his belly to exert its medicinal effect.

After a moment, an extremely abundant spiritual energy spread all over Wang Geng's body, and he began to carefully use his skills to absorb this pure spiritual energy.

The potency of the elixir refined from the fifth-level demon elixir was naturally extraordinary. The next moment, the true energy in Wang Geng's body increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed by in an instant.

During this period, no store notified Wang Geng of the news about Chenchen Pills.

On this day, the door to the practice room, which had been closed for sixteen years, finally opened.

When Wang Geng came out, he had completed the third transformation of the Mountain-Moving Dharma and entered the realm of false elixir.

In fact, it only took Wang Geng fourteen years to cultivate to his current level. After using the Heaven-Building Pill to transform his spiritual root qualifications, his cultivation speed was almost faster than that of Tianlinggen, which was far beyond what Han Erluzi with his four spiritual roots could achieve. Comparatively, the next two years were actually used to try to break through the bottleneck of the pill formation stage.

Unfortunately, he failed in the end.

After entering the fake elixir realm two years ago, Wang Geng immediately took the Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid. After practicing for several months, Wang Geng gradually experienced some changes in his body, and his true essence began to solidify. When he was overjoyed, He swallowed two more ancient pills one after another, and after that, the true essence actually began to solidify.

Just when Wang Geng thought that the elixir formation was about to be successful, the medicinal power of the ancient elixir disappeared soon after, and the solidification of the true essence also stopped and immediately went back.

After all, most of the ancient elixir's medicinal power has been lost, and its effect cannot last long.

In the last six months, no matter how Wang Geng tried to operate the technique, the true essence no longer showed any signs of solidification.

In the end, Wang Geng knew that even if he took the remaining two ancient elixirs, he would not be able to form an elixir, so he could only stop practicing and go out to find another opportunity to form an elixir.
