Chapter 165: Spirit Refining, Intermediate-Level Middle-Grade Pill

Without a closer look, Chu Ning put the three pills into the jade bottle.

Then, he began to refine the second batch of pills.

The first batch of pills successfully refined three Xuanling Baodan, which was indeed beyond Chu Ning's expectations.

But at the same time, it also made Chu Ning realize that after a few days of preparation.

In addition to the role of the Yuandan spirit body, he should be in a very good state of pill refining.

In this case, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot.

Next, Chu Ning refined pills one after another.

Of course, this Xuanling Baodan is of great importance after all, and he will ensure that he is in the best state every time.

So he chose to refine 2 batches every half a day.

After three days, Chu Ning completed the refining of twelve batches of Xuanling Baodan.

What surprised him was that.

Except for 2 waste pills, the remaining 34 pills in these twelve batches of 36 pills were all high-quality spiritual pills.

The refining of 36 pills allowed Chu Ning to use up all the 180 Yanmu Twin Fruits he brought out from the Spirit Realm.

Fortunately, at this time, after more than three years of growth, the Yanmu Twin Fruits that Chu Ning cultivated himself finally reached the day of fruit picking.

After harvesting 193 Yanmu Twin Fruits, Chu Ning invested in the next stage of pill refining.

In this way, another four days later.

In the alchemy room, Chu Ning looked at the full jade bottles in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Originally, I planned to refine 60 Xuanling Treasure Pills so that I could be more fully prepared.

But I didn't expect that after the alchemy skills were improved.

These materials actually refined 72 high-quality pills.

This really exceeded my expectations."

Chu Ning refined 25 furnaces of Xuanling Treasure Pills with all the materials.

Among the 75 pills, 3 were useless, and 72 were successful, which was beyond Chu Ning's expectation.

And all this was naturally attributed to the improvement of Chu Ning's alchemy skills brought by the spiritual pill collection.

At this time, Chu Ning was actually a little scared.

Although his success rate in continuous alchemy this time was very high, it was indeed not easy to refine the Xuanling Treasure Pill.

If it weren't for the coincidence that he happened to enter the ancient sect ruins and obtained the spiritual pill collection.

With his previous alchemy level, I'm afraid it would be hopeless to make 60 pills.

"Everything is ready, and next, we can prepare for the foundation."

Chu Ning put all the jade bottles containing pills into the storage bag, and then slowly walked out of the alchemy room.

Everything is ready, but the foundation building will require a long period of retreat, so Chu Ning naturally needs to make some arrangements.

And these Xuanling Treasure Pills, Chu Ning also needs to refine them again.

Arriving at the spiritual medicine garden, Chu Ning took a quick look.

Many of these spiritual medicines had been used by him to refine Xuanling Baodan and Qingmu Yuanyang Dan.

So there were not many spiritual medicines left.

There were only a few spiritual fruits such as Yuanyang Fruit and Yanmu Twin Fruit.

And these spiritual fruits had just been picked and had entered the next fruiting cycle.

Chu Ning walked out again and came to Tieyang Fruit and the spiritual plant garden that was hybridized with Yuanyang Fruit, Jinyang Fruit and Tiegenlan.

Tieyang Fruit has been bearing fruit for a while, and it will take another three or four months to pick it.

And this pollen-pollinated hybrid spiritual fruit, now growing on Tiegenlan, made Chu Ning frown.

"This spiritual fruit grows so slowly that it has vaguely caught up with Yanmu Twin Fruit.

It's almost three years, and this spiritual fruit is not yet ripe.

But this should also have something to do with the fact that Ling Xiaobai came less to ripen it."

Shaking his head, Chu Ning walked out of the area.

Then he came to the planting area of ​​the Iron Soul Flower. At the same time, he also checked the progress of his cultivation in his mind.

[Yanhuo Shenmu Gong (Xuanjie Shangpin), second level (367/10000)]

[Jiuyan Refining Body Art, Volume 1, Unbroken Tendon (1499/1500)]

[Spirit Refining Technique, second level (1865/2000)]

In the past six months, Chu Ning's Spirit Refining Technique has only increased by about 1 point per day.

If he were to practice normally, it would probably take more than three months to perfect the Spirit Refining Technique to the second level.

However, at this moment, after seeing the Iron Soul Flower, Chu Ning's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

"For more than two years, this Iron Soul Flower should be the spiritual medicine that I have spent the most energy on.

And this Iron Soul Flower that was planted the earliest will be fully mature in about one to two months."

According to the records of the Iron Soul Flower, as long as it matures, it can absorb the wood essence.

Chu Ning knew that he would soon be able to use the wood essence to speed up his soul-refining technique again.

"It seems that my retreat will not have much impact.

When the iron soul flower matures, I can come here to absorb some of the wood essence of the iron soul flower to strengthen my consciousness."

Seeing this, Chu Ning was relieved.

He went back to the cave directly.

The only thing Chu Ning needed to arrange now was the talismans and pills from Cen Zijin.

In the past two years, he has been providing talismans to him.

And in the past six months, he has provided pills to him every month.

Calculated, Cen Zijin should come to him to ask for a batch of talismans and pills in half a month.

Chu Ning was not sure how much time he would need for this retreat, so he had to give the other party more at once.

Fortunately, Chu Ning's success rate in making talismans was very high. Not all the talismans he had made before were given to him, so he could just give them to him now.

But this elixir needs to be refined in another batch.

It's not a big problem. I have practiced the fire control technique in the elixir collection.

The consumption of mana and spiritual consciousness in alchemy has been greatly reduced.

It takes four or five days to refine a lot of primary elixirs such as Ling Yuan Dan and Ju Yuan Dan.

So, Chu Ningxin spent the next half month making talismans and refining elixirs.

At the same time, it took several days to refine all the mysterious spirit pills one by one.

After several attempts, he discovered that this Xuanling Dan could support up to five soul refinings.

The grade level also directly breaks through to the level of intermediate-level mid-level elixirs, and vaguely touches the threshold of intermediate-level high-level elixirs.

"With so many high-quality Xuanling treasure pills, no matter how sophisticated my Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique is and how powerful my magic power is, it should be enough to liquefy and build the foundation!"

While Chu Ning was getting ready, Cen Zijin also arrived.

The two of them sat at the stone table while drinking spiritual tea.

Although Cen Zijin looked pretty, his expression was vaguely depressed and hesitant.

Chu Ning took a sip of tea and then said to the other party:

"Are there any worries within the family again?"

Cen Zijin did not answer directly, but raised his bright eyes.

“I told you before, give yourself three years, and it seems like you have to make up your mind in advance.

I am going to leave Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands and go to Yaochi Palace. "

Chu Ning's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, then opened her mouth and drank the entire cup of tea in one gulp.

Slowly placing the teacup on the stone table, Chu Ning looked at Cen Zijin, who was lightly holding the teapot and pouring tea into his cup.

He asked softly: "Have you made up your mind?"

"Yeah!" Cen Zijin nodded gently.

"You're right, I can't get the secret of the Cen family's inheritance now no matter what.

In the past two years, with your talismans and elixirs, the business of this Cen Workshop has grown bigger and bigger.

And my uncle is becoming more and more wary and wary of me. "

When Cen Zijin said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued:

"It is said that Chen Xinming intends to attack the foundation building period in half a year. If he succeeds, my uncle will definitely put pressure on me again."

"Chen Xinming." Upon hearing this, Chu Ning muttered the name, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although Chu Ning's emotional fluctuations were very subtle, Cen Zijin caught it.

A smile flashed across her pretty face, and Cen Zijin continued:

"Don't worry, I will definitely leave Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands before this."

Chu Ning calmed down her expression slightly, looked at Cen Zijin and asked:

"If I can successfully build the foundation in half a year, will it be of any help to you?"

"You succeeded in building the foundation within half a year?" Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin had a look of astonishment on his face.

"Didn't it only take more than half a year for you to reach Qi Refining Consummation?"

"The techniques I practice are slightly different from others. It doesn't take too long to accumulate at the perfect stage of Qi refining."

Chu Ning found a reason at this moment and did not tell the other party that she had entered the perfection state of Qi refining for more than two years.

"Actually, I originally planned to tell you that in the next two to three months, I was going to retreat.

Refining a batch of elixirs for my foundation building, and at the same time, I may try to build a foundation within half a year. "

Chu Ning didn't have much to hide from Cen Zijin at the moment.

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin nodded slightly and then said:

"That's just right. I'm here to bring you something."

With that said, Cen Zijin took out a small jade box from his storage bag, opened it and handed it to Chu Ning.

"This is……"

Chu Ning looked at a pill in the jade box and was stunned for a moment, then blurted out in surprise:

"Foundation Pill!"

"Yeah!" Cen Zijin smiled.

"You seemed to have told me before that you don't necessarily need a Foundation Establishment Pill to build your foundation.

But I think it would be good for you to prepare one. "

Chu Ning did not refuse the other party's kindness, and reached out to take the small jade box.

Then put it into the storage bag.

Originally, he was prepared that if he could not complete the foundation building in one go with the help of this Xuanling Dan.

He went to find another foundation-building pill.

But he also knew that this thing was very precious, no matter in any sect or force.

They will not be given to others easily.

Thinking of this, Chu Ning looked up at Cen Zijin and said:

"Is this Foundation Establishment Pill Cen Wenquan actually willing to give it to you?"

Cen Zijin sneered when he heard this.

"How can he be so generous? This elixir was left to me by my grandfather.

However, when I was building the foundation, I had the foundation building pill given by my master, so I didn’t use it.

They never knew that I still had a Foundation Establishment Pill on me, otherwise they would have asked me to take it out long ago. "

Chu Ning nodded, then smiled and said:

"It seems that your grandfather still prefers you."

"Yeah!" Cen Zijin nodded.

"It would be great if grandpa was here. Grandpa is very prestigious in this thousand lakes and islands. Our Cen family doesn't need to be attached to any family at all."

"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, and the same goes for the rise and fall of families and sects."

After Chu Ning said this, Cen Zijin immediately glanced at him.

"You are about the same age as me, but you speak in an old-fashioned way."

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that I am some old monster who deliberately shows my age?"

When Cen Zijin heard this, he stared at Chu Ning's face with his bright eyes and looked at him carefully.

Chu Ning sat there, letting the other party look at him calmly.

After a while, Cen Zijin nodded gently.

"Well, it is true..."

"What is it?" Chu Ning couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise.

He was looking at people with his original appearance at this moment, and he didn't use any illusion magic.

Could Cen Zijin still tell anything from his face?

"It is true that I am very thick-skinned."

Cen Zijin laughed at this moment, with a mischievous look in his eyes.

Chu Ning smiled slightly when he heard this, and then suddenly said to Cen Zijin:

"Wait a minute!"

As he said this, Chu Ning approached the other party just like Cen Zijin did just now, and looked at her carefully.

Seeing this, Cen Zijin's fair face flushed.

"What's wrong with my face?"

Chu Ning did not answer directly, but also looked at her for a long time, and then said:

"Indeed..."

Hearing Chu Ning imitating what he had just said, Cen Zijin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"Go on!"

"It's really beautiful, worthy of being the first fairy of Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands."

Chu Ning smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Cen Congjin turned his face immediately, but there was a hint of smile between his eyebrows.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

In the cave, the atmosphere was quiet, mixed with a hint of ambiguity.

No one was willing to break it.

After an unknown amount of time, a "ying" sound came.

It was Ling Xiaobai who came out of the spirit beast room.

Cen Zijin immediately picked him up with joy, but she soon discovered that Ling Xiaobai's breath was a little weak.

She couldn't help but ask immediately: "What's wrong with Xiaobai? It seems injured."

"I went to collect spiritual herbs before and encountered a second-level monster. Xiaobai was injured."

Chu Ning answered casually.

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin still glanced at Chu Ning with some dissatisfaction and blamed him:

"Since you know there is a second-level monster, you can call me.

Now it's good, Xiaobai is injured."

Chu Ning shook his head and said:

"This time is an accident. I am not afraid of ordinary second-level monsters at all, and Xiaobai doesn't have any fatal injuries. It doesn't matter."

At this moment, Ling Xiaobai looked at Chu Ning with his eyes rolling. Before, it was dying, and it said it was not a fatal injury.

However, since signing the life contract, Ling Xiaobai has recognized Chu Ning as his master.

So many thoughts will be unconsciously disturbed by Chu Ning's thoughts, and naturally he will not expose it at this moment.

Fortunately, Cen Zijin had already taken out a spiritual fruit to feed it.

The little guy saw that there was food, so he naturally didn't say anything.

Cen Zijin didn't ask much, after all, Chu Ning killed a second-level monster in front of her more than two years ago.

More than two years have passed, and Chu Ning's strength must have improved, and she really doesn't need to worry too much.

"By the way, I don't need to issue the task for finding the white grass before."

Chu Ning suddenly remembered that he had asked Cen Zijin for the white grass before, and said it out loud at this moment.

After Cen Zijin agreed, Chu Ning thought for a while and continued:

"Also, the Song family might come to investigate something in the future, and you have to think about how to deal with it."

He didn't plan to talk about Song Ye's matter, because no one knew about it at present, so there was no need for Cen Zijin to worry about it.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he still had to remind the other party.

If Song Ye really didn't give up and came to Cen Zijin through the matter of Baizhi grass.

Cen Zijin was mentally prepared in advance, so it would be easier to deal with it.

Sure enough, after hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin hurriedly asked what happened.

Chu Ning also told Cen Zijin about the matter in general.

Cen Zijin was shocked to hear that Chu Ning had a conflict with Song Ye.

"Song Ye has been in the middle stage of foundation building for quite a while. It is said that he is only one step away from entering the late stage of foundation building.

Even among the several major families of Qiandao Qianmeng, he can be ranked among the top ones."

When saying this, Cen Zijin couldn't help but look a little worried.

"Don't worry, I have a treasure that can shield my spiritual consciousness, and I also use the illusion spell to change my appearance."

As Chu Ning said this, thinking of the magical power of the illusion spell, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag.

He handed it to Cen Zijin and said:

"This illusion spell is extremely wonderful. You can only learn it and try it. Sometimes it is very useful."

When Chu Ning said this, Cen Zijin's face turned directly into the image of Liu Ping that he had shown to the other party before.

Cen Zijin was stunned when he saw it, and at the same time he was very interested.

He laughed and scolded, "You're so good, you lied to me from the beginning."

"I'm just a casual cultivator, and I have to be cautious if I want to gain a foothold here."

Chu Ning replied with a smile, and handed the elixir and talisman that he had prepared to Cen Zijin.

"Before, because I was preparing for seclusion, I refined some more talismans and elixirs, and I'll give them all to you at once.

But since you're ready to leave the Cen family, let's see if there's any need to sell them at the Cen Workshop?"

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Cen Zijin collected all the pills and talismans.

"Sell them, why not?"

Cen Zijin snorted.

"During this last period of time, I think I should help you sell more pills and talismans.

Otherwise, when I leave Cen Workshop, you won't be so convenient."

Seeing Cen Zijin's little girl's attitude, Chu Ning couldn't help but smile:

"Well, when I come out of retreat, I will go to Shopkeeper Cen to see how many spirit stones he has earned for me."

Cen Zijin saw Chu Ning's half-smile expression and didn't care, and continued:

"When you come out of retreat, go to Caiwu Island, I will arrange people to guard there frequently.

Since I am ready to leave, you'd better not come to Qianhuan Island to find me directly, to save trouble."

"Let's see when the time comes." Chu Ning answered casually.

The two chatted again.

Knowing that Chu Ning was about to go into seclusion, Cen Zijin stayed here for a while longer.

It was not until three days later that Cen Zijin said goodbye and left.

After Cen Zijin left, Chu Ning immediately opened up the defense formation of his cave.

At the same time, after giving instructions to Ling Xiaobai and the Iron Rock Beast, he entered the training room.

Prepare to take the Xuanling Treasure Pill and officially start building the foundation!
