Chapter 60 Magic Crystal
Time flew by like a flash, and it was another two years. Tangning had been waiting to enter the trial place again, kill monsters and get the magic crystals, but there was no news. When Fang Liting came to inspect the herb garden, he couldn't help but ask
road.
"Didn't the leader say that he would reopen the trial ground last time? Now two years have passed, why has there been no movement yet?"
Fang Liting glanced at him and said strangely: "Others are afraid to avoid you, but you are still thinking about dying?"
Tangning paused for a moment: "Well, no...don't you want to decide when it will be and make more preparations? You can't avoid it anyway."
"The leader said that the trial ground will be opened regularly, but he didn't say when exactly. Didn't I tell you last time? Those monsters enter from the cracks in the alien space. It is very difficult for them to cross the space. They need to find it.
Stable space node. The monsters in the last trial area have been almost eliminated by you. You have to wait for the next batch of monsters to enter before the trial door can be opened again and let you go. Instead of being in panic all day long, it is better to seize the time to practice.
." Fang Liting said
Tang Ning was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, this was really the case. The leader indeed only said that the demon eradication operation would be held regularly, but did not specify how often.
After seeing Fang Liting off, Tang Ning left the herb garden, drove up the purple gourd, and went to a house in Diezhang Peak and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out. It was Mu Pingbo who went up the mountain with Tang Ning. He succeeded in transforming into the mortal world first and entered the elixir department. His previous cultivation level had always been above Tang Ning's.
Later, I encountered a bottleneck and was delayed for several years at the sixth level of Qi refining. Last year, I finally broke through to the seventh level of Qi refining. Now I am an alchemist in the Alchemy Department.
Tang Ning often interacted with him when they were in the herb garden. At that time, although he was in the alchemy department, he was still just a handyman disciple, helping the alchemist to run errands and do odd jobs. Since Tang Ning was transferred to Fang Liting, the two of them have
We lost contact, and now that his long-time wife has become a mother-in-law, she has become an alchemist, and she has found Tang Ning again.
Although he has become an alchemist, he has little information in the alchemy department, low status, and few resources. The alchemy department is a large department with more than a hundred people, including seven foundation-building monks. He studied in the department in one year
The medicinal herb resources allocated to him were far from enough for alchemy. Besides, he had recently become an alchemist and was not familiar with his skills. His failure rate was very high, so he was even more short of medicinal herbs, so he found Tang Ning.
Come on! Tang Ning also has a certain responsibility. In the past, those alchemists could buy herbs at low prices, which were enough for them to make medicine. Since he consolidated various herb gardens and sold them outside, the share they can buy is limited.
However, Fang Liting went even further after taking over, sometimes even selling no medicinal herbs to them privately.
At this time, some people from the Alchemy Department found him, as the "manager" of the Alchemy Department. They believed that Tang Ning must have a way to get the herbs they needed, and Mu Pingbo was not the first, nor the last.
Based on the principle of kindness, Tang Ning would basically agree to them. Of course, if the portion was too much, he would give some discounts appropriately. He used his green spiritual power to catalyze many mature herbs and sold them to them, although the value was a whole lot lower.
Every time someone from the Alchemy Department came to him to make a list of herbs, he would go to various herb gardens and buy some privately according to the herbs needed on the list to avoid suspicion.
Those alchemists couldn't buy the herbs they needed in other herb gardens, but they could get them in Tangning. They actually didn't doubt this, because everyone in the herb department knew about the thousands of herbs sold to the outside world every year.
Tang Ning was taking care of all kinds of herbs, and they thought it was normal to keep some privately. Some herb garden managers even suggested that Alchemy Department disciples go to him.
"Hey! Tangning, why are you here?" Mu Pingbo said in shock when he saw Tangning.
Tangning smiled and handed him a storage bag: "I brought you the herbs you mentioned last time for refining the Wanling Pill."
Wan Ling Dan is an elixir taken by monks in the late stage of Qi refining to improve their cultivation. It is quite difficult to refine it for Mu Pingbo's level. He tried several times without success. The elixir department issued it to him.
The herbs had been used up, and he was not willing to just refine low-level elixirs. In desperation, he had to find someone in the Herbology Department to buy some privately. He first went to Chang Jian, who grew Wanling in the herb garden managed by Chang Jian.
Dan formula herb.
But Chang Jian told him that the herbs were gone, and the remaining ones had to be handed over to Corey. He recommended him to find Tang Ning, and said that Tang Ning could get them. Everyone in the herb garden still thinks that Tang Ning is responsible for selling the herbs to others.
He made the decision, but little did he know that he had already been sidelined and was now just an errand boy.
In fact, Chang Jian also had a surplus of those herbs, but he was unwilling to sell them to the Dan Yao Department at a low price.
In this way, Mu Pingbo contacted Tang Ning and often bought medicinal herbs from him privately. Tang Ning remembered the old friendship and might give others a discount, but she always responded to his requests.
Mu Pingbo took the storage bag and said, "Hey! I can just go and get this, why do you have to go there yourself!"
He had already paid for the spiritual stones to buy the medicinal herbs. Nowadays, medicinal herbs are sold privately. There are very few spiritual medicines in the elixir department. They all pay first and then buy the goods.
The two of them walked into the room, Mu Pingbo closed the door and said with a smile: "You are such a noble person, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything! You must have something to do here this time! Tell me! I will do my best within the capacity of our relationship."
"What a noble man! I envy your elixir department very much. I would be happy if you could transfer me to the elixir department to study alchemy. Who doesn't know that elixirs are the most profitable? If nothing else, just this Wanling Dan.
It only takes ten spirit stones, and one furnace is three hundred spirit stones. How much does it cost? The market price is about one hundred and thirty spirit stones. We can buy a furnace of vitality pills privately within our sect for only thirty or forty spirit stones.
The amount of medicinal herbs, what's in the Herbaceous Family? If I hadn't secretly sold you some magical medicines and herbs behind the sect's back, I would have been drinking from the northwest wind." Tang Ning sat down and said
Mu Pingbo smiled: "That's not the case. I'm just a member of the elixir department. You are the manager of the herbal department. How can I compare to you! Having said that, elixirs appear to be hugely profitable, but in fact they are also risky.
It is very high. If it is not cultivated within the sect, how can outside cultivators learn how to make elixirs? Let’s not talk about other things, let’s talk about Wan Ling Dan. I have failed five times in refining it. So far, I have not succeeded.
The casual cultivators do not have the support of the sect. Who can support such consumption? Although the profit of the elixir is high, the initial investment is very large and ordinary people cannot afford it. Like me, I can barely cope with it, and there is far from any profit. Refining
Wan Ling Dan requires the use of ice-cold fire veins, and entering the ice-cold fire veins elixir chamber requires twenty spirit stones. It only lasts for one day, and the cost is still very high.
"I heard that Senior Sister Su Lin has succeeded in building a foundation, and the Alchemy Department has another foundation-building monk."
"Yes! I heard others say that before Senior Sister Su Lin built the foundation, you gave her a complete set of items needed for foundation building. It was worth a lot of money. Senior Sister Su refused politely and gave it to Senior Brother Xu Shi. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
Tang Ning was dumbfounded when she heard about this. After he left Su Lin that day, there were rumors that he wanted to eat swan meat. He was very attentive and presented a set of foundation building items. Su Lin refused and refused on the spot.
After giving it to Mr. Xu, he left with a dark face, saying he had a nose and eyes, and his movements and expressions were lifelike.
Even Fang Liting heard about it and asked about it when inspecting the herb garden.
There is no doubt that this is what Xu Shi did. He received a set of valuable items and accidentally let it slip while talking to people. Maybe he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
He told the whole story, cutting off the beginning and ending when speaking, and told the whole thing in general. As a result, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and it became the version that Tang Ning was now angry about because she couldn't pursue it.
"There is such a thing, but it is different from what you think. I met Wu Datong, a disciple of the Hushan Division who was dying in the trial field. He asked me to give those things to Senior Sister Su Lin. That day
Senior Brother Xu and I went there together, but Senior Sister Su was unwilling to accept it. I tried to persuade her a few times, but she accepted and then gave it to Senior Brother Xu." Tang Ning had to explain.
"Oh, that's it. I'll tell you that you are not such a gentle person."
"I heard that your department distributed magic crystals a few days ago. Can this magic crystal really improve the success rate of elixir refining?" After chatting for a while, Tang Ning turned to the main topic.
"That's right, the senior uncles in Core have been researching for more than a year and finally found the correct way to use magic crystals. Adding magic crystals in the process of refining medicine is indeed easier to condense elixirs. At the beginning, several senior uncles followed the usual method of refining elixirs.
After trying various methods to no avail, Master Cheng Buyi finally used the Five Zang True Fire method, which was once popular but later declined, and found that it could dissolve the magic crystal and emit a black spiritual power. This black spiritual power was in the alchemy furnace.
It just offsets the conflict between the various medicinal properties when condensing the elixir, and balances the resistance of various elixirs to fire, thereby condensing the elixir." Mu Pingbo said.
"We have been focusing on heaven and earth spiritual fire before, using various heaven and earth spiritual fires to refine elixirs, such as ice-cold fire veins, earth lung true fire, purple flame true fire, etc. The temperature of these spiritual fires is too high, and when it reaches a certain
At the critical point, magic crystals tend to melt at a touch, and the five internal organs' true fire is the real fire in the human body, which is relatively mild and stable, and can just dissolve the magic crystals."
"Magic crystals are the crystallization of monsters' cultivation. The environment in which they grow up is very different from ours. According to several uncles' speculations, the black spiritual power in the magic crystal is the spiritual power of their world. As for why it can help condense pills,
It’s unknown.”
"Several uncles have done more than a hundred experiments. Although these magic crystals can help the elixir condensation process, they are only effective for low-level elixirs in the Qi refining stage. They speculated that it may be because the monsters are weak in cultivation and the magic crystals are
