Chapter 41 Five Elements Elixir
This also led to the fact that the seals of primary spells were not only extremely rare, but also extremely expensive. Basically, they would be bought as soon as they appeared.
In Wuyin Xiancheng, most of the people gathered were cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. With such a cultivation level, let alone encountering a true-level monster, even if they encountered a monster of the mortal level, they would most likely be annihilated. This also led to the fact that it was basically impossible to buy seals for primary spells in Wuyin Xiancheng.
Only in the several large immortal cities where foundation-building cultivators often appeared, could seals for primary spells be sold, but the price was not affordable for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.
After learning this, Xiao Lin was completely speechless. At the same time, he finally understood how lucky he was to have obtained a seal of primary fire spells from Fang Xing, an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. As for how Fang Xing got the seal, this answer was obviously impossible to get.
Xiao Lin returned to the outer city in a somewhat depressed mood and entered an ordinary inn. Since he could not obtain the elementary spells of Thunder Zombie, Wind Control and Flash Shield for the time being, he could only put them aside for the time being and wait for the future.
In the guest room, Xiao Lin played with the two storage bags in his hands. He took out the storage bag he got from Li Yan from the spiritual wood space and put the horn and scales of the Thunder Rhino he hunted in it. He threw all the materials and the items he often used into the new storage bag, and then put the storage bag he got from Li Yan into the spiritual wood space again.
After doing all this, he tied the storage bag to his waist bag and lay down to sleep.
Early the next morning, he went to the inner city. When he came back in the afternoon, there were nearly 2,500 low-grade spirit stones in his storage bag. Although Baili Elder was already accustomed to the materials on the Thunder Rhinoceros, he was still stunned after Xiao Lin threw out hundreds of sharp horns and scales at once, and looked at Xiao Lin with a bit more awe.
Touching the storage bag on his waist, Xiao Lin felt uneasy for the first time. It was the first time that he had a "huge sum of money" and he was a little restless, fearing that someone would think of him. With his current cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, the storage bag on his waist was indeed too eye-catching.
At least four or five cultivators had paid close attention to him along the way, but for the auction three days later, he had to take this risk.
"It seems that I still need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible." Xiao Lin sat on the edge of the bed, pondered for a moment, and then sighed and said to himself.
For the next three days, Xiao Lin stayed at home and practiced the Dry Water Sutra in his room. He had already practiced the Dry Water Sutra to the sixth level, and was not far from the seventh level.
Between the sixth and seventh levels, there was a huge gap, which was the bottleneck between the middle and late stages. For most Qi Refining cultivators, from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi Refining, as long as they practiced hard, most of them could enter the middle stage of Qi Refining. Although there were differences in the speed of practice, very few people would get stuck between the third and fourth levels. In other words, the bottleneck between the early stage and the middle stage was not obvious.
But the middle and late stages were different. Among the hundreds of thousands of Qi Refining cultivators in Wuyin Xiancheng, more than 80% were stuck in the early and middle stages, and could not break through to the late stage in their entire lives. This was certainly due to their cultivation qualifications, but more importantly, the bottlenecks in the middle and late stages could not be broken through.
To break this gap that blocks the cultivation path of cultivators, cultivators must not only make great efforts to practice in seclusion, but more importantly, the supply of resources. Except for a very small number of people with qualifications above the earth spirit root, cultivators with this qualification basically have no bottleneck before building the foundation. But if you are not such a cultivation genius, you have to compete with the degree of effort and the resources you can get.
There are only three types of qualifications below the earth spirit root: pseudo spirit root, ordinary spirit root and true spirit root. Among them, the difference between ordinary spirit root and true spirit root is not too big when breaking through the bottleneck of the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, that is, the success probability is about half a percent.
If you can get a few spiritual pills to assist in cultivation, breaking through the bottleneck and entering the late stage of Qi Refining, there is still a 30% to 40% hope. If there is full support from the family behind, this probability can be increased by 10% to 20%.
But if there are no resources, you can only rely on luck and character.
As for the worst pseudo spiritual roots, it is basically impossible for them to enter the late stage of Qi Refining. Among the cultivators who can cultivate, pseudo spiritual roots and ordinary spiritual roots account for at least 60%, and among these more than 60%, pseudo spiritual roots account for at least more than half. This is also the fundamental reason why the five major sects will not recruit disciples widely, but only set up several test points for spiritual roots in the fairy city to screen those cultivators with qualifications above the imperial spiritual roots and directly incorporate them into the sect.
You know, even in the five major sects, low-level Qi Refining cultivators account for more than 90%. Although Qi Refining cultivators will not get too many resources in the five major sects, the number is there, and they can't just ignore it. There must be a little fairness within the sect, so the cultivation resources consumed by these 90% of Qi Refining cultivators are not less than those consumed by those cultivators above the foundation building stage.
This is also the reason why the five major sects rarely recruit people. If it weren't for the contribution of the cultivation families to the sects, the five major sects would not even want to recruit people from those cultivation families.
As a real pseudo-spiritual cultivator, Xiao Lin will naturally encounter the gap between the middle and late stages of Qi refining. Even if he can eat Yunling Pill as jelly beans, for a breakthrough Xiao Lin is not sure about this gap, and what he is most urgent about now is to get a higher-level elixir than the Yunling Pill. Only this kind of elixir can be of great help in breaking through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
A few days ago, he had been in the inner city inquiring about elixirs that were more advanced than Yunling Dan. The name actually made him find out. It was a type of elixir called [Water Spirit Pill]. In fact, it was more precise. A type of elixir called Five Elements Elixir. Five Elements Elixir should be said to be a general term for a class of elixirs, including [Water Spirit Pill], [Fire Spirit Pill], [Gold Spirit Pill], [Earth Spirit Pill] and [Wood Spirit Pill]. The methods and techniques for refining these five elixirs are similar. The main medicinal material for refining these five elixirs is also a herb called [Five Elements elixir], but the five elements properties contained in these five elements elixirs are different. The properties of the refined elixirs are therefore divided into five categories: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to use the Five Elements elixir to break through the bottleneck, it is best to choose the elixir that suits your own skill attributes. For example, the Dry Water Sutra practiced by Xiao Lin is a water attribute skill, so he can break through the mid-term bottleneck. The best elixir is [Water elixir].
This Five Elements Spiritual Pill is not only an excellent elixir for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to improve their cultivation, but also cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment are also flocking to this elixir. For a Five Elements Spiritual Pill, cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment will definitely He will not hesitate to kill a Dzogchen cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. This is the cruelest reality in the world of cultivation.
After knowing the existence of the Five Elements Elixir, Xiao Lin naturally wanted to know where to get the recipe for the Five Elements Elixir. But what made him depressed was that he visited a dozen shops and none of them had the Five Elements Elixir. As for the elixir recipe, a shop clerk even told him that the elixir recipe for the Five Elements Elixir was probably only available in the five major sects.
This made Xiao Lin's face turn ugly, but what made him happy was that he got a few seeds of the Five Elements Spirit Grass from a shop called [Tianlu Baicao Pavilion]. Apart from the non-metallic seeds, these seeds , but the other four types are available. After he painfully paid a high price of one hundred low-grade spiritual stones, he bought these five elements spiritual grass seeds.
After returning to the guest room, Xiao Lin planted these seeds in the spirit wood space. The five elements spirit grass used to refine the five elements spirit pill requires at least one sixty years of medicine age, which is sixty years. This medicine age is really scary. Xiao Lin was startled, and now he finally understood the source of the playful expression on the face of the guy selling his Five Elements Spirit Grass seeds.
If ordinary monks in the Qi Refining Stage were to plant this thing, not to mention whether there is a spiritual field that meets the conditions, even if it is really planted, the harvest will only be sixty years later. I am afraid that they will be seventy or eighty years old by then. Now, regardless of the success rate of refining the Five Elements elixir, even if you get the elixir, it will be of little use. Generally, if a monk in the Qi refining period cannot build a foundation before the age of forty, then the probability of building a foundation will be reduced. To an outrageous level, it is basically impossible for a monk over forty years old to build a foundation unless he is just lucky.
Xiao Lin is naturally not an ordinary cultivator in the Qi refining period. The ability of the spirit wood space to accelerate the growth of the spirit grass makes him not worried that he will not be able to wait for the spirit grass to mature. The spirit fog grass is twenty years old. In the spirit wood space, It only takes about half a year to achieve it. In this way, the maturity time of the spiritual grass is accelerated by at least about forty times.
Calculated in this way, if the Five Elements Spiritual Grass can survive, it will take about a year and a half to reach a medicinal age of sixty years, and Xiao Lin can afford to wait for this time.
But what troubles Xiao Lin most now is the problem of the Five Elements Spiritual Pill formula. If this formula is really only available to the five major sects, then his idea of using the Five Elements Spiritual Pill to break through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi refining will be completely ruined.
If he wants to enter the cave and does not enter the late stage of Qi refining, the probability that he will be able to obtain the Purple Spirit Flower alive is not high.
"If it doesn't work, I can only try my luck in those big fairy cities." After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin said to himself, but whether to leave Wuyin Fairy City must be done after attending the auction.
Early that morning, Xiao Lin woke up from his trance and felt the mana flowing in his body. However, Xiao Lin was frowning. The closer he got to the seventh level of the Dry Water Sutra, the more worried he felt.
Because this is his first hurdle since he entered the world of cultivation, but Xiao Lin also knows that this is a hurdle that he must overcome, and there is no second way to go.
He left the inn and headed towards the inner city again, because the address of this auction was the basement of a large store in the inner city.
