Chapter 46 Dandingju
Although this Xiaoyun Market has small characters, it is not small at all.
It's just that the location is Xiaoyun Peak in Yanyun Mountain.
In the past year, Fang Yang, in addition to practicing, has also acquired a lot of martial arts secrets. Whether they are the top martial arts secrets of ordinary people or the secret methods of cultivators, Fang Yang has collected them all.
Fang Yang simply said that he had taken over a task from the family, which was to collect spells for the family's outer disciples.
Once you come and go, others won't be surprised.
On this day, Fang Yang came to Dandingju, the largest elixir store in Xiaoyun Market.
As the name suggests, Dandingju is a medicinal cauldron that sells elixirs and refining elixirs.
Fang Yang came here this time to buy a better medicine cauldron. The medicine cauldron Fang Yang bought before was collected from a pawn shop when he was in Fengcheng. Although it was also a monk's possession, it was already worn out.
Not long ago, the medicine cauldron was finally completely scrapped under Fang Yang's intense alchemy refining.
"Sir, our store has all kinds of spiritual herbs from the first to the fourth level, as well as all kinds of elixirs. At the same time, the medicine cauldron is also the best." Fang Yang had just stepped into the threshold of the Alchemy Cauldron. The angry boy came up to him and introduced him eloquently.
"It turns out that Alchemist Fang is here, and he's too far away to welcome us." A middle-aged scribe came over and said.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Lu." Fang Yang also bowed his head in return. The person who came was none other than Lu Pengfei, one of the principals of Dandingju. Fang Yang was introduced to Fang Yang by Lu Xueshuang at a pill trade fair, but they didn't have a close relationship with him.
Lu Pengfei said to the boy, "I will receive Master Fang Alchemy. You can go down first." The boy then bowed and left.
"Friend Lu, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Fang Yang said with a smile.
"Hey, Alchemist Fang is a young talent. Being here will make us shine!" Lu Pengfei said with a smile. "I wonder what Master Fang Alchemy needs?"
"I want to buy a medicine cauldron for making alchemy. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu can give me some recommendations?" Fang Yang said.
"Master Fang, please come with me." With that, Lu Pengfei led Fang Yang to the second floor of Alchemy Residence, where there were a dazzling array of medicinal cauldrons on the shelves.
"Tell me who Alchemist Fang likes, and I will definitely give Master Fang the lowest price." Lu Pengfei said with a smile.
Fang Yang chose from shelf to shelf, and finally Fang Yang chose a fourth-level golden medicinal cauldron called Xuanjin Cauldron.
This black gold cauldron is made from black iron crystals and a small amount of Taibai gold. It can increase the yield rate of low-level elixirs by 30%.
That is to say, for example, if a general alchemy cauldron can produce nine elixirs after it is completed, this elixir cauldron will produce at least twelve elixirs.
It is extremely suitable for a weirdo monk like Fang Yang who only cares about the elixir rate regardless of cost.
Fang Yang spent 1,000 spirit stones and 10 fire cloud pills in exchange for it.
Lu Pengfei's face bloomed with a smile.
Generally, an alchemist can buy a medicine cauldron with more than 100 spiritual stones, which is already good enough.
Fang Yang spent 1,000 spirit stones at once, and the Fire Cloud Pill was a third-level spirit pill.
A fire cloud pill is worth at least 50 spirit stones. You must know that the average high-grade magic weapon only costs one or two thousand spirit stones.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I still have something I want you to help with." Fang Yang suddenly said.
"Oh, Master Fang, if you need anything, just ask. I'll help you if I can."
Lu Pengfei's eyes narrowed with laughter.
"Can Fellow Daoist Lu find me some precious elixir seeds?" Fang Yang asked.
"Why does Master Fang want elixir seeds?" Lu Pengfei was also quite puzzled.
You must know that after the spiritual grass is planted, it can take anywhere from decades to hundreds or even thousands of years before it can become a medicine.
For such a long time, even if you need to use medicine, the water will not be able to break down the fire, so the seeds of spiritual grass have always been very cheap.
"When I was training outside, my ancestors asked our disciples who were training outside to consider the disciples of the younger generation, so I have been collecting some secrets on the techniques."
Fang Yang said unhurriedly, "When I went out to practice, my ancestor was planning to build a new medicine garden. I thought if I could collect some rare elixir seeds and go back, my ancestor would like it more."
"Oh, it turns out it's to please the ancestor of the family. There's no problem with it. Leave it to me. I'll try my best to let you buy precious seeds."
What Fang Yang said was reasonable, and besides, it was very common for alchemists to collect spiritual grass seeds.
In order to understand the medicinal properties of spiritual herbs, many alchemists will plant spiritual herbs themselves. By observing the growth of spiritual herbs, they can discover their characteristics and create new elixir recipes.
Therefore, the medicinal gardens established by many small cultivation families are not necessarily all for the purpose of using spiritual herbs to make elixirs.
You can also use the spiritual herb garden to teach younger disciples. With the medicinal garden, younger disciples in the family can learn to identify spiritual herbs and understand the properties of medicine more clearly.
Therefore, the medicine garden is also very important to the cultivation family.
In this way, Fang Yang used another 100 spirit stones and 100 first-level spirit gathering pills to exchange for nearly a hundred small packets of spirit grass seeds.
In fact, Fang Yang had enough spiritual stones, but after all, he had just bought a valuable cauldron and had to hide it.
If he took out so many spiritual stones again, these people might become suspicious, so he pretended to be cash-strapped.
Many of the seeds Fang Yang obtained were third-level, fourth-level spiritual grass seeds, and there were even three types of fifth-level spiritual grass seeds.
These are the spiritual grass seeds that have been bought and sold by the Alchemy Cauldron in the past. Many of them are just kept as souvenirs or as gifts for purchasing the alchemy cauldron.
Now that someone wants to buy it, Lu Pengfei is secretly happy: these spiritual grass seeds will take at least a hundred years to be used as medicine.
Moreover, planting spiritual grass requires watering with spiritual springs, which is expensive and completely useless. I didn’t expect that these things can be exchanged for spiritual stones, which is really good.
Lu Pengfei naturally did not expect that Fang Yang could use Qingyuan Fairy Mountain to ripen the spiritual grass. After all, such a thing was too unnatural.
With these seeds, Fang Yang will be able to start refining the fourth-level elixir soon.
Although alchemy is very costly to ordinary monks, and many monks are impoverished as a result, Fang Yang does not care about the cost because he has Qingyuan Immortal Mountain as his support.
It's probably only a matter of time before he refines the fourth-level elixir.
Fang Yang walked out of Danding Pavilion and went to the market for a walk before entering another shop called Baorongfang, which mainly sells magic formulas and materials for making spells.
Because Fang Yang wanted to make talismans, he often came here to hang out when he wasn't practicing.
After arriving in Xiuzhenfang City, Fang Yang realized that the qi training techniques he had learned were actually superficial qi training skills passed down a long time ago, and were inadvertently acquired by ordinary people.
At that time, the ancients all used ancient seal characters, so records were also written in this font.
As for the cultivation methods of real monks, they are all made of jade slips and are rarely recorded in words or books.
Only then did Fang Yang realize that it would take a great opportunity for him to become a monk.
Now Fang Yang has no longer practiced the superficial "Zhen Yuan Qi Training Technique" before, but has chosen a set of "Duan Yuan Dazzling Fire Technique".
It is said that this set of magic spells was originally created by an alchemist. It is said that the alchemist created this set of magic spells in order to have enough real fire to make alchemy.
Don't think that this set of techniques can only be used to refine elixirs. It is said that the alchemist finally succeeded in condensing golden elixirs with this set of techniques and became a famous golden elixir monk.
Fang Yang spent 300 spirit stones, plus 300 first-level Spirit Gathering Pills, 30 second-level Yunling Pills, and 5 third-level Fire Cloud Pills in exchange for this item.
If it weren't for the late-stage qi-training monk who was so thirsty for the spiritual elixir, Fang Yang wouldn't have obtained it at such a low price.
However, Fang Yang's "Danyuan Fire Technique" only includes all magic techniques from the Qi training stage to the foundation building stage.
As for the golden elixir stage magic spell, it is something Fang Yang can't even think about now.
The steward of Baorongfang is a monk named Zhao.
This monk has the fifth level of Qi training, but he is as fat as a meat ball.
It is said that he was accidentally poisoned when he was young. Although he was detoxified, it left serious sequelae. Unless he became a foundation-building monk, he could not regain his healthy body.
However, in Fatty Zhao's opinion, there is no major inconvenience except that the flying magic weapon is often crushed when flying.
"Master Fang Alchemy, I found a rare magic weapon this time. I think you must be very rare, so I kept it specially for you?"
When Fatty Zhao saw Fang Yang coming in, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face, his huge belly moving slowly like a ball.
"I wonder what kind of rare magic method Fellow Daoist Zhao has prepared for me?"
Fang Yang has dealt with Fatty Zhao not once or twice, but he has long known that Fatty Zhao is an out-and-out profiteer.
Therefore, Fang Yang would never completely listen to Fatty Zhao's words.
"This time I have found a way to practice invisibility." Fatty Zhao pretended to be mysterious and moved his huge body to Fang Yang quietly and said.
When Fatty Zhao moved over, Fang Yang could clearly feel the ground shaking slightly. Fang Yang felt as if he was facing a white-skinned fire rhinoceros.
"Invisibility?"
Fang Yang is still very interested in this spell. This spell can hide his body shape and his cultivation level at the same time. It is a very rare spell.
Fang Yang was slightly moved, but thinking about Fatty Zhao's character, Fang Yang felt that things were definitely not that simple.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please don't fool me, otherwise you will ruin your sign."
Fang Yang responded with a smile, which made Fatty Zhao, who was smiling all over his face, look a little stiff.
"Master Fang Alchemy is laughing, thisthis" Fatty Zhao hesitated.
Fang Yang immediately understood that the concealment technique he was looking for might have serious flaws.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please speak directly if you have anything to say." Fang Yang asked with a smile on his face, looking indifferent.
"The concealment technique I'm looking for is said to have been created by a Nascent Soul master, and it's called "Invisible Technique."
Fatty Zhao continued to pretend to be mysterious and said, "This set of techniques can hide strength, cultivation, and figureBut the conditions required are also very harsh"
"Well, this set of "Invisible Art" requires monks with strong spiritual consciousness to practice it. According to what is said above, as long as the spiritual consciousness is two or three levels higher than your own cultivation level, you can practice it"
Fatty Zhao himself felt that he was embarrassed when he laughed.
"What? You can only practice spiritual thoughts that are two or three levels higher than your own cultivation level?"
Fang Yang shook his head and said, "Even the Nascent Soul cultivator can't do it!"
Indeed, this is very demanding.
This requires, for example, a monk at the fifth level of qi training, but he must have the strength of his spiritual thoughts at the seventh or eighth level of qi training to practice this method.
In order to practice, monks at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training must have the intensity of spiritual thoughts of monks at the peak of Qi training, or even at the early stage of foundation building.
As a result, the monks who practice Qi cannot reach it, and the monks in the foundation-building stage disdain to practice the "Invisible Art" that starts from the Qi practice stage.
Even though this method has the prestige created by the Yuanying monk, not many people take it seriously.
