Chapter 564 The Ownership of the Fifth-Level Demon Pill
During the war of more than a month, Qingxuan Sect lost four spiritual veins, Guiyuan Mountain, Teng Mountain, Huayang Mountain, and Shuangjiao Mountain, and lost 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Lu Hongniang was severely injured by the monster and needs at least 30 years of recuperation.
Wei Zongxun and Zhao Xinlian, two purple palace monks, died in the battle.
As for the foundation-building monks below, more than 40 people were lost successively, and the casualties of the Qi training monks exceeded a thousand.
The materials needed to reward and compensate these monks are astronomical.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhixuan and his wife seized the opportunity and joined forces with Jin Laozu to kill the fifth-level unicorn, which saved the decline and obtained a huge amount of monster materials.
Otherwise, it would take more than ten years for Qingxuan Sect to recover its vitality to fill this deficit.
The number of monsters hunted this time was too large. Even if Qingxuan Sect had a special ice cellar, it could not store a large amount of monster flesh and blood.
The sect could only use the monster flesh and blood in large quantities to refine the essence pill.
Anyway, the recipe of this kind of elixir is simple. The main material is the blood and flesh of monsters. After adding some spiritual herbs to strengthen the foundation and nourish the essence, even first- and second-level alchemists can get started.
Large-scale refining of elixir is very beneficial to the training of alchemists.
After this large-scale alchemy, Qingxuan Sect actually has five more third-level alchemists. Zhang Huangyang, who is at the first level of Zifu, has even refined a fourth-level lower-grade essence pill, raising his alchemy skills to the fourth-level lower-grade.
This person is also considered to have a strong talent for alchemy. Zhang Zhixuan plans to send him to Qinglihai to guard when his cultivation level is higher.
Because he is busy with cultivation, Zhang Zhixuan has hardly had time to refine low-level elixir, and with Luo Ziyan competing, this person has little chance to refine elixir in the sect.
Qinglihai already has more than 50 foundation-building cultivators. The elixir they take every year is already a huge resource, enough to support an alchemist to be self-sufficient.
After the Southern Wilderness monsters withdrew, Zhu Wuya and Wang Chengxiang also returned to the three northern counties to guard the territory of the three northern counties.
Han Wangpeng lost Huayang Mountain and returned to his old place Chaoyin Mountain to garrison.
The spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain has been mined for 140 years. According to the estimation of Qingxuan Sect, about half of it has been mined.
In the next 150 years, the output of this spirit stone mine will become less and less. On the contrary, it will be more difficult to seize the spirit stone mining of Dongyang Mountain of Hongshan Sect, which can be maintained for 300 years.
In this battle, 19 Southern Wilderness monsters were killed. Although Zhang Zhixuan killed six fourth-level monsters in Black Mountain, it was a pity that only four fourth-level demon pills were seized because of the urgent time.
Together with a mature chalcedony gold fungus in the sect's spiritual medicine garden, 18 furnaces of foundation-building pills can be refined this time.
The scale of Qingxuan Sect's spiritual medicine garden is not small, and the auxiliary spiritual medicines for refining foundation-building pills can be gathered, but the fourth-level spiritual water for refining pills still needs to be purchased from outside.
As a last resort, Luo Ziyan, Zhou Zijian, and Han Yan, three Purple Mansion cultivators, could only act separately and go to Song, Qi, Da Zhou and other major sects to purchase separately.
After waiting for almost half a year, Zhang Zhixuan reluctantly started the furnace.
Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills have broken through the fifth level, and the success rate of refining foundation-building pills is about 70%.
According to his success rate, the cost of refining a foundation-building pill is reduced to about 4,000 spirit stones.
It took Zhang Zhixuan about two years to refine more than a dozen furnaces of foundation-building pills at a time, even though he had a high level of cultivation and strong mana.
This time, Zhang Zhixuan's success rate was maintained at more than 70%, and he refined as many as 142 foundation-building pills, which was almost comparable to the accumulation of Qingxuan Sect for a hundred years.
The last grand occasion of the sect was when it seized the Hongshan Sect's spiritual medicine garden two centuries ago and snatched a batch of jade marrow and golden mushrooms. That time, Luo Ziyan also refined more than a dozen furnaces of foundation-building pills.
Although more than 40 foundation-building pills were consumed for rewarding merits and compensation, there were still about 100 foundation-building pills that were put into the sect treasury at one time.
Foundation-building pills can be preserved for about a decade, and they could have been released slowly.
However, after Zhang Zhixuan discussed with Patriarch Jin, he felt that there were not enough foundation-building cultivators in the Qingxuan Sect, so he simply released them all at once and prepared to train a group of foundation-building cultivators to strengthen the manpower.
For every furnace of foundation-building pills he refined, Zhang Zhixuan could earn 5,000 merits. In just two years, he earned about 90,000 merits by refining pills.
However, this opportunity is relatively rare. It is rare to have the opportunity to hunt high-level monsters. If you are not careful, you can easily die at the hands of monsters.
Especially now that both sides have heavily stockpiled troops on the border, hunting high-level monsters can easily lead to fierce conflicts.
The younger generation of the Zhang family also seized this opportunity. Although they did not have enough good deeds, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan were wealthy, and with the support of other elders in the foundation-building stage, six Zhang family cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training exchanged for foundation-building pills.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient accumulation, only four of the six people who took the foundation-building pills succeeded in building a foundation. Counting these four clansmen who had just built a foundation, the Zhang family's momentum within the sect would be even greater.
Hunting down a fifth-level monster beast would naturally benefit the Qingxuan Sect greatly.
Qingchan's talisman-making skills were extremely high, and the essence, blood, and fur of the fifth-level unicorn were naturally exchanged by her to prepare for making high-level spiritual talismans.
The unicorn's horn, wings, beak, and other materials were temporarily placed in the sect's treasury, waiting to be sold at the Qi State Wanbao Conference for a sum of money.
However, the spirit bones of the unicorn were left behind, ready for Qing Chan to refine into a fifth-level formation plate, and used in conjunction with the fifth-level magic weapon left by the sect's predecessors to refine a fifth-level formation, which would be set up on Camel Mountain to strengthen the mountain's defenses and resist the fifth-level monsters.
During this monster rebellion, Guiyuan Mountain was lost. Not only was the teleportation array damaged by the monsters, but the fifth-level array arranged on Guiyuan Mountain was also broken by the monsters.
This loss was a serious blow to Qingxuan Sect.
Even if they successfully eliminated the unicorn and made a fortune, they could only barely make up for the deficit. Excluding the spiritual objects rewarded for merit, there was not much left. They even spent more than 100,000 spiritual stones from the sect's treasury.
After dealing with these minor matters, the most important thing was the ownership of the fifth-level demon pill.
The sect now has four masters of the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, but Zhu Wuya is old and weak. Although he is not giving up, it is actually difficult for him to compete with the other three.
The remaining three people, Han Yan, You Nianwei, and Luo Ziyan, naturally take Luo Ziyan as the leader in terms of merit.
Luo Ziyan has made great contributions to the inheritance and development of the sect over the years.
Moreover, this person has a closer relationship with Jin Laozu and Lu Hongniang, and has the most accumulated experience. He has been cultivating to the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for more than fifty years, and he is most confident of breaking through the Golden Core.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan played a more critical role in hunting the unicorn, Han Yan would have a hard time competing with Luo Ziyan with their full support.
First, Han Yan is young after all, and has two hundred years to wait, while Luo Ziyan is already 380 years old, and there is not much time left to delay. Second, Han Yan is only a few years away from breaking through the ninth level of the Purple Mansion, and it will take at least a dozen years to break through the Golden Core.
However, the fifth-level demon pill is related to the path of the cultivator, and Liang Laozu has been working hard for it all his life, but he has no chance to get it.
Zhang Zhixuan and the others naturally don't want to miss this opportunity.
There will definitely be a fight over the ownership of this demon pill.
