Chapter 171 Alchemy Improvement
Ye Chunyang suddenly thought that since this old witch was both an alchemist and a medicine farm manager for Huaxue Sect, there must be the Earth's Core Fire here.
He was in urgent need of this fire to make the elixir. If there was the Earth's Core Fire in this Biluo Cave, he would not have to sneak down the mountain to look for it.
Ye Chunyang was not familiar with this chaotic demon domain yet, so he did not dare to walk around rashly, especially when his cultivation level dropped sharply. He might be in danger at any time if he went out of the mountain without authorization.
However, everyone in the demon world was scheming, and this old witch was even more moody. If he asked directly, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion. It would be safer to investigate secretly.
And from the tone of the old witch, it seemed that there was something urgent to deal with, and she would not come back in a short time, which gave him a favorable opportunity.
As long as he could have the Earth's Core Fire to make the elixir, Ye Chunyang would not be afraid of not being able to improve his cultivation level. As long as he rebuilt his foundation, he would not have to worry about this old witch.
Moreover, there are many spiritual herbs in this medicinal field. Now the other party asked him to help her manage it. It would be very simple to find some opportunities in the future to transplant some spiritual herbs into the space jade gourd for cultivation, and it would save the risk of going down the mountain to find medicinal herbs.
Thinking carefully, Ye Chunyang felt that although it was dangerous to be with the old witch, it was also very beneficial to him.
He took out the jade slip that the old witch gave him before leaving, and explored it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, it contained a detailed formation diagram.
It seems that the old witch was sure that he could not escape from this place, so she was relieved to give him this jade slip.
With a sneer, he walked into the cave along the formation diagram. There was no one else here, it was very quiet, and the layout was elegant, which was very suitable for cultivation.
However, Ye Chunyang did not have any nostalgia for this. Instead, he had to buy time to find the earth's core fire and improve his cultivation as much as possible before the old witch came back, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with her in the future.
After choosing a room suitable for himself in preparation for future cultivation, Ye Chunyang once again walked through the library, magic weapon library and other places along the route of the formation diagram.
It must be said that although the old witch Biluo Fairy is a lonely person, she has a lot of collections. There are hundreds of volumes of magic spells of both righteousness and evil in the library. Ye Chunyang was not interested in this at first, but he thought that since these magic spells were collected by the old witch herself, there might be flaws in her skills. If he could learn them, he would have a better chance of winning against her in the future.
So he patiently opened the collection here. With his cultivation in the foundation-building period, practicing these magic methods was as easy as pie, without any sense of awkwardness. In half a day, he had memorized all the spells in the entire library.
But what annoyed him was that although there were many books here, none of them were aimed at the charm of Biluo Fairy. It seemed that she had collected them from outside and put them in this collection after she felt that they were useless.
In desperation, he had to leave the library and go to the magic weapon library.
Most of the items in the library were of medium or lower quality, and none of them caught Ye Chunyang's eye. However, there were quite a few materials for refining talismans that satisfied him, and he took them all without hesitation.
In addition, he also took away some refining materials, alchemy furnaces, etc., leaving aside the refining materials for the time being, the alchemy furnace was what he urgently needed at the moment.
The cold iron alchemy furnace that Xuan Yang gave him on the spot was placed in the Qiankun bag, and naturally the alchemy furnace was gone after the big demon took over, so he naturally had to prepare it again.
After browsing the library and the magic weapon library, he continued to move forward, while releasing his spiritual sense to perceive whether there was any earth core fire here.
Just after he took a few steps, he suddenly looked happy and immediately accelerated to walk somewhere.
After an incense stick of time.
Ye Chunyang stopped outside a closed secret room, and after concentrating for a moment, he found that this place was filled with strong fire attribute aura.
He showed a happy expression and immediately pushed open the stone door of the secret room and walked in.
The secret room was very empty, with nothing but a stone platform and a coffee table.
But when Ye Chunyang walked into the secret room, he saw a magic array on the stone platform at first sight, and the fire attribute aura around was drawn by the array flag.
In the center of the magic array, clusters of pure flames kept flying, and the smell of it was the aura of the earth's core fire.
"There is a gathering array here that absorbs the earth's core fire. It is probably the old witch's alchemy room. I guessed right. This job of managing the medicine field is a lucrative job. The old witch is also an alchemist, so the benefits must be indispensable."
Ye Chunyang secretly criticized the old witch.
On the surface, this old witch manages the medicine field for Huaxue Sect, but in fact, she wants to use this huge medicine field to study alchemy.
However, time is tight now, and he didn't think too much. After offering the alchemy furnace to the gathering array, he was ready to start refining the furnace.
At this moment, he seemed to feel something, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
After sensing for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his consciousness escaped into the spirit beast bag.
With a light "whoosh" sound, a silver light appeared, turning into a huge silver-white spider crawling on the ground, with sharp tentacles and waves of terrifying demonic power flowing throughout its body.
It was the silver-armored spider that had been sleeping for a long time.
"This beast woke up at this moment, which can give me an extra means to save my life."
Ye Chunyang showed joy on his face.
The silver-armored spider had been sleeping for a longer time than Ling Kun, but he didn't expect it to wake up at this moment, and judging from its majestic aura, it had actually advanced to the first intermediate level, and its demonic power was even higher.
He frowned, pondered for a while and gave the silver-armored spider a guarding order, and then arranged a forbidden method in the secret room to isolate it from external force detection.
Although the old witch said that she would go down the mountain for a while, there was no guarantee that she would not return.
The silver-armored spider is now a first-level mid-level spiritual pet. Although it is not as good as the old witch's late foundation building cultivation, it can also play a role at critical moments. Moreover, with the protection of the formation, if someone detects it, he will know it in the first time. At that time, even if the old witch asks about it, there is room for maneuver.
After arranging everything carefully, Ye Chunyang no longer has any worries. He draws the spell to the spirit gathering formation, and the fire of the earth's core rises in clusters.
At the same time, his spiritual consciousness moves, and hundreds of hundred-year-old spiritual medicines in the jade gourd space are put into the furnace one by one, and they begin to refine pills to improve their cultivation.
However, due to the sharp drop in cultivation and the loss of the main body, the origin of the heavenly scripture can no longer complement each other. Not only is Ye Chunyang's cultivation progress slow, but he can't refine pills as he wants as before. He was sweating profusely and his face was pale on the second day of refining.
Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly, obviously this is a phenomenon that the spiritual power is difficult to support.
Fortunately, the pills refined this time, although they were made according to the ancient recipe of the Holy Pattern Cauldron, were not complicated pills. With his painstaking persistence, on the fifth day, a spiritual light was emitted from the pill furnace, and a furnace was successfully refined.
A total of three medium-quality pills were formed, and Ye Chunyang took them one by one without hesitation, and then meditated to absorb the spiritual energy.
With the qualifications of today's spiritual roots and the assistance of the pills, as soon as he closed his eyes, Ye Chunyang immediately felt the spiritual energy around him like a tide, and sometimes made a "rushing" sound of shocking waves, which was absorbed and transported into the dantian along the practice, washing his meridians over and over again.
Although the practice was progressing steadily, he was worried and checked it again with his spiritual consciousness, meticulously down to every meridian, every inch of muscle and bone, and must ensure his foundation.
"Huh? What is this?"
At this moment, his heart condensed.
From the feedback of his consciousness, Ye Chunyang "saw" a ball of golden light looming in his Dantian, which exuded a strange and obscure aura. When he concentrated his mind and sensed it, it seemed like spiritual energy but not spiritual energy, which was very mysterious.
Ye Chunyang frowned and his consciousness moved towards the light.
Now his soul refining technique has reached the second level of out-of-body experience. Although his cultivation has fallen to the Qi refining stage, his consciousness is still strong and he can observe any part of his body in detail.
However, when he approached this golden light, the situation changed.
This light seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly exuded a very strong repulsive force, which bounced his consciousness back.
Ye Chunyang had a bad premonition.
Before the soul was settled in this body, he had never felt the existence of this light. Now after the body change, there was such a strange phenomenon. Could it be that some accidents occurred when the soul was out of the body?
His heart sank, and his consciousness rushed towards the golden light again, and the result was the same as before.
Moreover, the more powerful the spiritual consciousness impacted, the stronger the golden light rebounded, obviously rejecting his temptation.
I don’t know what this light is, will it be harmful to me?
Ye Chunyang became cautious.
However, this light was extremely repellent to his spiritual consciousness, which made him feel difficult. If he forcibly impacted it, it would be counterproductive. If it caused some uncontrollable changes, it would be very bad.
Moreover, the old witch Biluo Fairy would come back at any time, and there must be no mistakes here, otherwise he would really become a fish on the board and let her slaughter him.
"It seems that I still have to completely restore my cultivation in the future and then explore this thing again."
Touching the fat round chin, Ye Chunyang showed deep thought.
Under so much pressure, he couldn't take care of too much.
This mysterious golden light seemed to have no effect on him, so he could only put it aside temporarily and wait until his cultivation was sufficient in the future to study it carefully.
After thinking about it, he concentrated on practicing again.
After a few hours, his whole body made a "crackling" sound of his muscles and bones bursting, and the energy in his body continued to grow, and soon recovered from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.
Ye Chunyang was delighted.
However, when he was ready to make a last-ditch effort and continue to charge upward, he found that the medicinal power in his body had been exhausted, so he had to withdraw from the practice.
Ye Chunyang showed a thoughtful look, and then left the alchemy room.
When he came back again a few days later, he had hundreds of spiritual herbs in his hands again.
These herbs were naturally taken from the medicine field by him. After being stimulated by the spirit spoon, they had hundreds of years of ingredients in just a few days, which he could continue to make pills.
In this way, whenever the spiritual herbs were exhausted, he would immediately go to the medicine field to get them. The huge medicine field of Huaxue Sect was like a gold mountain, which allowed him to squander them at will, and as his cultivation gradually increased, the quality of the pills he refined also improved.
In this way, his cultivation also improved rapidly.
...
Six months later.
When Ye Chunyang woke up from the practice again, his cultivation had recovered to the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi Refining.
If the rapid progress was spread, not only the Huaxue Sect, but the entire Chaos Demon Realm would be shaken, but Ye Chunyang was not happy about it.
Such a speed is indeed amazing in the eyes of outsiders, but compared with the previous mid-stage foundation building, it is obviously far behind now.
The pressure from the Fairy Biluo is like a sword hanging over his head, which may fall at any time. Ye Chunyang dare not relax at all.
But no matter how anxious he is, he has to pause at this time.
Because he has reached the bottleneck of the tenth level of Qi Refining, he must have a foundation building pill if he wants to build the foundation further.
The medicinal materials needed for the foundation building pill require at least several months or even a year to cultivate. At this moment, he must go to the spiritual field again.
With a plan in mind, he collected the silver-armored spider and left the alchemy room.
But when he just left the cave, before he reached the spiritual field, his heart suddenly sank.
The Fairy of Biluo is back.
