Ascension Through Generations
Chapter 204 Blood Demon Sect
The owner of Hongguang Tower is a burly old man with pale skin but a rosy face.
After he sensed the blood light deliberately released by Zhao Sheng, he immediately felt relieved and laughed loudly: "It turns out he is a member of the same camp! I, Hong Yuanliang, dare to ask your friend Gao's name."
"Just call me Taoist Longli." Zhao Sheng said calmly.
The burly old man didn't care either. Nine out of ten immortal cultivators who dared to come to his place would not give their real names. A name would be enough. Anyway, they were all guests.
After all, their Blood Demon Sect is famous for "teaching without discrimination" and "heroes should not ask where they come from."
As long as you practice the "Blood Soul Sutra", you will be a like-minded fellow Taoist.
"Fellow Taoist Dragon and Li, when you come to Hongguang Tower, do you need blood essence beads? Or blood melting talisman?
To be honest, friends, we have just received a batch of fresh goods recently, I guarantee your satisfaction. "
Zhao Sheng knew from his previous life that the "Blood Soul Sutra" was an extremely evil miraculous skill. Its characteristic was that it exchanged longevity for cultivation, and the speed of improvement was several times faster than usual.
However, its consequences are also very obvious.
The most obvious shortcoming is that rapid improvement of cultivation requires a large amount of blood essence to be converted into spiritual power.
However, the most insidious consequence that scares countless people is that once you advance to the foundation-building realm, once you die, your soul will not only be unable to be reincarnated, but will also be transformed into blood spirit pills and eventually become food for the blood demon.
Zhao Sheng didn't know much about the Blood Demon. He probably knew that it single-handedly directed the Blood Demon disaster three hundred years ago.
Rumor has it that the Blood Demon is not a cultivator, but a strange creature. It may come from the upper world and have near-immortal properties.
Of course these are just rumors and no one can confirm them.
But one thing is certain.
The Blood Demon Sect has a very bad reputation in the upper-level structures of the world of immortality, and can be called a street rat, but in the hearts of lower-level immortality cultivators, it has a mixed reputation.
Every year, countless cultivators begin to try to practice the "Blood Soul Sutra" due to various reasons.
Once they taste the sweetness, these people will flock to it.
The pleasure of improving your cultivation is no less than taking drugs. Once you try it, you often cannot extricate yourself.
This is also one of the important reasons why the Blood Demon Sect revived in a short period of time after being wiped out several times.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand, "I don't need the Blood Essence Beads and the Melting Blood Talisman. I need a few Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruits. Is there any stock in the Hongguang Building?"
When the burly old man heard the words, his eyes flashed, and then he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Dragon and Li, this thousand-striped star algae fruit is an extremely rare thing. It is monopolized by those sects and aristocratic families and is rarely circulated in the market. I would like to ask, Could it be that fellow Taoist wants to refine the Foundation Building Pill?"
The old man said so much, the last sentence is the key point.
Of course, if Zhao Sheng dared to come here, he had no intention of hiding it.
"Um!"
"Seriously! Can fellow Taoist provide the certificate?"
After hearing this, the burly old man stood up and asked another question out of control.
"I never joke!" Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, took out a first-level alchemist jade token from the Alchemist Association, and waved it in front of the old man.
When the burly old man saw the alchemist's token, his face lit up, and he excitedly approached Zhao Sheng with a look of flattery on his face.
"Great! Fellow Daoist Longli, you don't know. This building happens to have three Thousand Patterns Star Algae Fruits in our collection. If you want it, we will give it to you directly without taking any money. As long as fellow Taoist agrees to one Small conditions.”
The old man's move was also a bet that the other party would not use this matter to deceive him.
"What are the conditions, please tell me!" Zhao Sheng remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was like a mirror, and he immediately guessed the conditions that the other party was going to say.
"If fellow Taoist refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, can you sell it to me at Hongguang Tower? Not only can we buy it at a high price, but we will also try our best to continue to provide the Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruit, and the price is guaranteed to be the lowest."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zhao Sheng thought as expected.
The Blood Demon Sect was rejected by the mainstream immortal cultivation forces, like rats in the gutter, shouting to be beaten and killed.
Because of the characteristics of the "Blood Soul Sutra", the Blood Demon Sect has a large number of disciples and has accumulated a large number of Qi Refining Perfection.
In order to prolong life span, these Qi Refining Dzogchen are almost crazy to be promoted to Foundation Establishment Pills, but there are almost no traces of Foundation Establishment Pills on the market, and the sect can distribute too few Foundation Establishment Pills every year. The relationship between supply and demand Severe imbalance.
It can be seen from this that when the burly old man heard that Zhao Sheng wanted to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was so excited that he lost his temper.
This old man is also one of those "poor people"!
Seeing that Zhao Sheng was silent, the burly old man gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "One Foundation Establishment Pill is exchanged for five Thousand Patterns Star Algae Fruit, and I will give you a treasure worth at least fifty thousand spiritual stones. The treasures can be selected by fellow Taoists. You If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again. What do you think?"
Zhao Sheng secretly estimated that the Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruit was expensive but not commercially available, with the average price of a single piece being around 10,000 spirit stones.
In other words, a foundation building pill can be sold for at least 100,000 spirit stones in Hongguang Tower.
But the real value cannot be calculated like this.
If Zhao Sheng were allowed to collect the Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruit alone, too much energy would be wasted.
Only a large demonic sect like the Blood Demon Sect has channels to continuously supply a certain amount of Thousand Stripes Star Algae Fruit.
By eliminating the need to collect the main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill, the time cost that Zhao Sheng saves is far beyond what can be measured by a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Of course, trading Foundation Establishment Pills with the Blood Demon Sect is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, so one must be extremely cautious.
Zhao Sheng had already put on enough disguise before coming, so he didn't expect his true appearance to be exposed for the time being.
But when he really refines the Foundation Establishment Pill, the situation will never be as easy as this.
After finishing speaking, the old man looked at the yellow-faced middle-aged Taoist in front of him anxiously, waiting for the other party's answer.
Zhao Sheng knocked on the table, nodded and said, "Pindao agrees to this condition."
"Okay! Fellow Daoist Longli, wait a moment. Hong will come back as soon as he goes."
After saying that, the old man turned around and walked out of the private room with an excited expression.
After a while, he hurriedly returned, holding a square sea-sunken wood box in his hand.
The old man placed the wooden box on the table in front of Zhao Sheng and gently opened the lid.
I saw that it was covered with a layer of white brocade silk, and there were three round objects under the brocade silk. At this moment, an apple-like aroma was emanating from the box.
"Fellow Taoist, please look!"
The burly old man said with a smile, stretched out his hand and uncovered the brocade silk.
Zhao Sheng took a closer look and saw three jujube-red fruits the size of eggs with smooth and hairless surfaces lying in the box.
As the brocade silk was removed, the aroma on the fruit became more fragrant and fragrant, making people's minds clear and their thinking speed up by three points.
This maroon fruit is the famous Thousand-Line Star Algae Fruit in Broken Star Sea.
Although it doesn't look good on the outside, when you cut it open, you can see the layers of crystallized flesh as distinct as a thousand-feuille cake, and the core is as transparent as a diamond, containing the essence of heaven and earth.
Snapped!
Zhao Sheng closed the lid with one hand, a satisfied smile on his face, and nodded to the old man.
"Yes, it is indeed the Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruit!"
"As long as fellow Taoist is satisfied. I have a bold word to say. In case fellow Taoist fails this time, feel free to come to my Hongguang Tower. I am willing to provide fellow Taoist with three more Thousand Patterns Star Algae Fruit at a 50% discount."
This time, the old man didn't mention free.
Zhao Sheng understood what he meant. Even if Hongguang Tower was willing to strongly support him in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, there was a certain limit.
If he failed too many times, Hongguang Tower would have to take matters into its own hands.
Zhao Sheng put the wooden box back into his storage bag, stood up, cupped his hands to the old man, and said confidently: "Three are not enough. The next time Pindao comes back, I hope shopkeeper Hong can provide at least five Star Algae Fruits. In addition, Pindao will stop by." Please do me one favor."
Seeing the other party's confident look, the burly old man couldn't help but feel more confident, so he solemnly expressed his position: "Fellow Taoist Dragon Li, please speak! Whatever I can do, I will never be vague."
"Pindao needs a lot of one-yuan heavy water. I hope Hongguanglou can find it for me as soon as possible. Price is not an issue."
"One dollar of heavy water?!" The old man repeated thoughtfully and then decisively agreed:
"No problem! Even if I show my old face, I will let my fellow Taoist get what he wants."
"Okay! Pindao, remember what you said. When things are done, there will be generous rewards!"
…
After leaving Hongguang Tower, Zhao Sheng didn't go anywhere and flew directly away from Bairi Island.
After flying dozens of miles, he plunged into the sea.
When he showed up at Danhuofang again, he had returned to Zhao Chonghe's dignified appearance.
Well, he joined the Spring and Autumn Alliance under the name of Zhao Chonghe in his previous life.
Russia,
Zhao Sheng came to Zhenyao Pavilion.
At this time, the front door of the huge Zhenyao Pavilion was very deserted, with few cars and horses, and only two or three customers in the store. Most of the waiters looked weak, with fears and uneasiness often showing in their eyes.
As soon as Zhao Sheng entered the door, he was recognized by the waiter.
A quick-footed waiter immediately came forward, while someone else ran to the backyard to inform the shopkeeper.
Later, Zhao Sheng saw Jin Dancheng, who was frowning.
Zhao Sheng didn't say much, he just comforted the other party with a few words, saying that if he persisted for a month, things would definitely turn around.
Then, he took a batch of elixirs from the medicine store, leaving behind most of the elixirs he had refined over the past few years, and then left.
…
More than a thousand miles away to the west of Jiuzhen Island, there is a seabed of 4,000 feet.
In the deepest part of a narrow, winding and deep underwater cave, a large grotto with a diameter of more than 20 feet was opened.
An extremely huge jade shell filled the entire grotto, and the surface of the shell shone with a dazzling white light.
Beifu Cave Heaven, Alchemy Room.
Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged, waved his hand and threw the Nine Dragon Cauldron,
The Nine Dragon Cauldron swelled to the height of a person and quickly flew down to the obsidian platform three feet away.
Zhao Sheng released his spiritual consciousness and enveloped the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
After he cast a spell, his consciousness moved.
I saw a golden dragon floating on the surface of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. After swimming around the surface of the cauldron a few times, the dragon sank under the cauldron.
Sue'er,
A ball of golden flame suddenly ignited below the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and the flames engulfed the bottom of the Alchemy Cauldron.
After activating the Nine Dragon Cauldron, Zhao Sheng ignored him and waved his hand. Suddenly there were a lot of wooden boxes, bottles, jade pots, porcelain jars and other things in front of him.
Qianwen Foundation Building Pill uses Qianwen Xingwei fruit as the main medicine, with nearly twenty kinds of auxiliary medicines, and more than eighty other kinds of medicines.
The Qianwen Foundation Building Pill is a second-level elixir, but its refining is very difficult and there is no room for mistakes.
It has been almost ten years since Zhao Sheng obtained the prescription.
In the past ten years, he has deduced all the steps of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill countless times.
In addition to the main medicine, he personally concocted many other auxiliary medicines.
Finally, we select the best from the best and select the batches with the best quality.
This time he got three Thousand Pattern Star Algae Fruits. He had already set a minimum goal and must make sure to refine at least one Foundation Establishment Pill.
In any case, Zhao Sheng has been refining elixirs for almost ten years now and is already a first-level alchemist who has experienced hundreds of battles.
His experience, vision, and techniques are far beyond those of ordinary alchemists, plus he has the help of talented people and ten years of continuous study.
Zhao Sheng also has some experience and insights about refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. Zhao Sheng is certain that he can achieve his goal. I can’t say that the success rate is 10%, but the probability of 10% or 20% can still be guaranteed.
Zhao Sheng knew very well that this success rate was enough for him.
Anyway, there was plenty of time, so Zhao Sheng did not rush to start refining the elixir. Instead, he took out the jade slip of the foundation-building elixir and went through the elixir recipe, refining techniques and steps several times.
After confirming that he was familiar with it, he refined several pots of water elixir to familiarize himself with the feel and ensure that no mistakes would be made due to hand skills when refining the elixir.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and Zhao Sheng quietly closed his eyes to rest and adjust his state.
At this moment, in front of him, in addition to the elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, there was also a row of black, white, green, red, and yellow elixir bottles. Each bottle contained elixirs such as the Marrow Spirit Pill, the Concentrating Spirit Pill, and the Soul Refreshing Pill. Pills and other elixirs that restore or enhance spiritual consciousness.
These elixirs are of great use, allowing Zhao Sheng to use more bullet time at critical moments.
After an unknown amount of time, the Nine Dragon Cauldron has been warmed to its best condition by the burning gold spiritual flames.
After Zhao Sheng recited the steps for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill in his mind, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with light.
As the Thousand-Line Star Algae Fruit flew into the alchemy cauldron, the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill officially began.
Different from other types of foundation-building pills, the main foundation-building medicine must be put into the Thousand Patterns Foundation-Building Pill from the very beginning.
The key to this elixir is the combination of "boiling" and "melting". It is necessary not only to ensure that the core of the star algae fruit is not boiled, but also to ensure that the medicinal power of the star algae fruit pulp is completely "boiled".
At the same time, the fruit core is used as the core of the elixir, and the elixir liquid refined from the auxiliary medicine and the main medicine is integrated with the fruit core, without any conflict of medicinal properties during the process. Finally the elixir is released.
The entire elixir refining process is very simple, but the refining time lasts for seven days and involves more than twenty steps, which is more than a hundred times more complicated than the mere four steps of the Water Spirit Pill.
For a less talented alchemist, let alone three copies of the Foundation-Building Pill elixir, even if you give him ten copies, he still won't be able to refine a single Foundation-Building Pill.
There is a saying in the alchemy world: Every alchemist who refines a foundation-building elixir has the potential to become a third-level alchemist.
"First add the spiritual blood of the dragon python, calcine and purify it!"
Zhao Sheng shot out a series of pill formulas in his hand, and a bright red blood light suddenly flew out of the porcelain jar in front of him, and flew into the cauldron.
With a thought, the gold-burning spiritual flames suddenly became five times more powerful, and the spiritual flames soared and engulfed the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
"Add another one or two qian of Ganoderma lucidum powder, then a jade leaf, wait half a quarter of an hour, and then add..."
Zhao Sheng silently recited the steps of refining the elixir in his mind, without any hesitation in his hand movements, as if he had refined it countless times, and his technique was very skillful.
It is really difficult to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although Zhao Sheng had made sufficient preparations before, there was no mistake or sluggishness in the techniques and steps.
However, when adding the twelfth auxiliary ingredient Shi Lingzhi, he failed to control the heat. Fortunately, he started the bullet time in time and removed a part of the "impurities" of the elixir before the elixir failed, and then managed to continue refining it.
When refining the Foundation Establishment Pill for the first time, mistakes are inevitable. He doesn't believe he can succeed again.
For the first time, regardless of whether it was successful or not, the most important thing is to go through the entire alchemy process as much as possible.
