Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 243: The Villain’s Trouble
After Guan Qian left with satisfaction, Lin Qianxing also learned the two Qi-absorbing techniques he had obtained.
These two methods of absorbing qi are respectively "Geng Jin Absorbing Qi Jue" and "Bing Huo Absorbing Qi Jue".
The grades of both are [Spiritual Enlightenment (Ordinary)], corresponding to the attributes of the two spiritual roots of gold and fire respectively. They do not conflict with each other and can be cultivated at the same time.
Lin Qianxing now has the three acquired spiritual roots of fire, earth and gold.
One of them happens to have the spiritual root attributes of fire and gold, so practicing these two techniques of absorbing qi is suitable.
However, when Lin Qianxing actually started practicing, he discovered a very serious problem.
His Xuansi attribute is only 0.3. This thing has never been improved due to his physical improvement, and Lin Qianxing has never added any points.
So he felt very slow when practicing.
It was obviously a small problem, but he took a while to figure it out. After a full hour, he still couldn't successfully master the technique.
Lin Qianxing was very conflicted . He looked at the remaining 200 free attribute points on the panel and without hesitation, he added them all to the Xuansi attribute.
For him, this amount is only about twenty low-grade spirit stones. If he works hard, he can save it up in more than a day.
The attribute of Xuan Si broke through 200, and Lin Qianxing felt that his thinking ability suddenly rose to a higher level.
Although it is still far from being comparable to the main world, various inspirations have already emerged in an endless stream.
He looked at the two books on the art of absorbing qi again and felt that many of the principles were explained clearly. It was incredible that he had not figured it out before.
Sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Lin Qianxing practiced the "Binghuo Naqi Jue". After three breaths, he succeeded. The massive amount of fire-attributed spiritual energy scattered in the surrounding void began to quickly flow into his body.
The speed of absorbing air was much faster than when Lin Qianxing used the "Basic Air Intake Technique" before.
[Hint: You have learned a new skill, "Binghuo Naqi Jue", and your current proficiency is [Beginner].]
Lin Qianxing felt that this was not the limit, so he started dual-threaded operation and decided to add another technique to run simultaneously.
So, he started to practice the "Geng Jin Na Qi Jue" again.
The golden spiritual energy in the void was indeed easily absorbed into Lin Qianxing's body.
Both techniques rely on the spirit and spiritual roots to operate, and there is no conflict at all. The absorbed spiritual energy is converted into spiritual power in the body and stored in every cell, nourishing and improving Lin Qianxing's body.
This is the principle of practicing in the Naqi realm.
Lin Qianxing felt that he might be able to buy an earth-attributed Qi-gathering technique to practice later, so that his efficiency would be even higher.
After practicing for half an hour, Lin Qianxing stopped and took a closer look, and found that there were 15.66 more free attribute points on the panel.
This is already more than a low-grade spirit stone.
Of course, the speed of absorbing spirit stones is still much faster than practicing, and this is mainly because there is a spirit gathering array near the residence of the inner disciples. The spiritual energy here is richer, so so many free attribute points can be obtained. If it were in the mortal world, it might be more than ten times less.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing took out the dozen or so spells he had obtained from Guan Qian and studied them.
These dozen spells are all of ordinary grade. They are not particularly good, but they are general skills that can greatly facilitate life, such as the "Capture Objects Technique" that can concentrate spiritual power to capture objects with the palm.
Lin Qianxing had no other thoughts when learning these things, he just wanted to achieve the achievement of "Extraordinary Comprehension".
This achievement requires learning and mastering one hundred perfect-level spells or martial arts to complete, and then you can get a bonus of one hundred mysterious attributes at the beginning.
But to be honest, the attributes of the reward are not good enough in the eyes of Lin Qianxing who possesses the [Stealing Secrets] plug-in.
So Lin Qianxing was not in a hurry.
Time passed, and three months went by quickly.
During the three months, Lin Qianxing went to the Tibetan Dharma Pavilion to exchange for a "Wu Earth Qi Gathering Art", which made up for the missing Qi Gathering Art.
The three-attribute spiritual roots can operate at full power.
With Lin Qianxing's additional training, Lin Qianxing's cultivation has now reached the late stage of the Naqi Realm, and he feels that he will be able to reach the peak of the Naqi Realm in a few days.
With the nourishment of spiritual energy, Lin Qianxing's physical and spiritual attributes have exceeded 100, and his adventure attribute has been increased to 1443.23, and his mysterious thinking attribute has also reached 1235.12. Even so, there are still 1500 free attribute points left.
By the way, as his cultivation level improved, his charm also increased slightly, reaching 13 points.
In addition to the increase in attributes and cultivation, Lin Qianxing also upgraded the "Swallowing Flame Technique" to the level of [Soul Containment (Top Grade)], reaching a level of proficiency and perfection.
Lin Qianxing's improved cultivation made him more and more adept at refining pills. He could even easily make the pills that Li Yunxi found difficult to refine.
Many times, Li Yunxi would even ask Lin Qianxing to help refine the ingredients for the elixir, giving Lin Qianxing more opportunities to try refining the elixir.
As a result, his status among Li Yunxi and the other Dan Palace disciples continued to rise, and almost everyone judged that he would be the next core disciple.
Because they knew that he liked to learn spells and martial arts, they all showed their goodwill and gave Lin Qianxing various basic spells and martial arts.
Lin Qianxing didn't want to owe too many favors to others, so he used his superb alchemy skills to repay them and gave them some of the pills he usually made for free to taste.
After all the interactions, Lin Qianxing has become quite popular in the Dan Palace .
But there is one person who is very special, that is a Dantong named Su Zhe.
That guy is still a little unhappy with Lin Qianxing because Lin Qianxing didn't sell him the Vein-Condensing Pill.
Moreover, Lin Qianxing heard that he had failed to break through to the Condensing Veins stage due to lack of resources and had damaged his meridians, and he would not be able to break through again within a year.
Now he was surrounded by a negative aura that was visible to the naked eye. He became even more unhappy when he saw Lin Qianxing, as if he had put all the responsibility for the failure of the breakthrough on Lin Qianxing.
But he had to pretend to be polite, otherwise, with Lin Qianxing's current popularity, he would be ostracized by everyone in the Dan Palace in minutes.
Lin Qianxing saw this and thought it was extremely ridiculous, but did not pay too much attention to it.
In the Dan Palace, Lu Daocheng was giving a lecture.
"This Nine-transformation Solidifying Yuan Pill is a key pill that helps cultivators at the Condensing Veins stage break through to the Crystallization stage. It requires nine times of refining the pill liquid to make it pure enough. It requires extremely high control over the temperature. For me, it is not always successful..."
After Lu Daocheng finished his story, he distributed the medicinal herbs and planned to let his core disciples refine them.
This time there are only two copies of the materials.
Because the Nine Revolutions Solidifying Yuan Pill is relatively advanced, the materials are quite expensive and precious, and the sect has a great demand for it. Even for core disciples, it is not easy to buy a batch of materials.
Therefore, it was very generous of them to give them two copies to practice in Dandian.
After getting the materials, Li Yunxi seemed very cautious. In fact, he had tried to refine it several times before Lu Daocheng gave the lecture, but all failed.
Now that he had finished listening to Lu Daocheng's lecture, he felt somewhat confident, but still not enough.
Li Yunxi's current cultivation level is at the peak of the Condensation Vein Stage, and he also wants to break through to the Crystallization Stage, so that he can become a true disciple and a candidate for elder.
But his spiritual roots are not particularly good, they are just the acquired spiritual roots of the four attributes of fire, earth, gold and wood.
To purchase each Nine Revolutions Solidifying Yuan Pill, he needs to accumulate contribution points for about two years.
But to this day, he still hasn't been able to break through.
It had taken him one hundred and thirty years to get to this point.
A cultivator at the Condensed Veins Realm only lives for three hundred years. If he fails to break through before he is one hundred and fifty years old, that would be difficult.
Therefore, he also wanted to master the method of refining the Nine-Transformation Solidifying Yuan Pill. In this way, he would not have to worry about the pill in the future, and the probability of breaking through would be higher.
"Junior Brother Lin, please help me purify these materials." Li Yunxi looked at Lin Qianxing and said.
He knew that his control over the heat was not as good as Lin Qianxing's, so he decided to leave some things to Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing did not refuse. This was not the first time they had cooperated.
As spiritual power surged, Lin Qianxing took over control of the earth fire and began to place elixir ingredients into it to refine and purify it.
The main difficulty of this thing is that it has to be purified repeatedly to remove impurities. It becomes more and more difficult as you go along. If you make a slight mistake, you will only get a pile of waste. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary alchemists to control it.
But for Lin Qianxing, it was barely manageable.
The main character of the main world is a master of alchemy, and some knowledge is shared.
As for the control, Lin Qianxing has mastered the "Flame Swallowing Technique" to a perfect level, so controlling the earth fire is not a difficult task.
So soon, the elixir materials in the furnace were refined by Lin Qianxing for almost seven times.
Lin Qianxing’s spiritual power was exhausted, so he let Li Yunxi take over.
After looking at it for a while, Li Yunxi almost understood the situation, so he sat down and smoothly carried out the eighth round of refining.
After Lin Qianxing quickly recovered his spiritual power with the spirit stones provided by Li Yunxi, he prepared to cooperate with Li Yunxi to carry out the ninth round of refining.
However, the alchemy furnace exploded with a bang.
Li Yunxi looked unhappy and said, "The ninth refining was too delicate, and I didn't control it well."
"Senior Brother Li, it's okay. We still have one chance." Lin Qianxing comforted Li Yunxi.
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing stood up to get the ingredients for the pill. However, when he reached the ingredient area, he found that two of the key herbs seemed to have been accidentally broken.
Unfortunately, these two herbs are not resistant to storage. Once damaged, their medicinal properties will quickly dissipate.
Lin Qianxing recalled that when he went to get the ingredients for the elixir, he should have been very careful. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
He looked around and his eyes finally fell on Su Zhe.
The guy was watching the core disciples making pills at the side and seemed to be very focused, but his slightly weird fingers betrayed him.
When monks cast spells, they often make hand gestures to increase their chances of success and keep themselves focused.
Su Zhe clearly used some hand gestures and a spell to break the two herbs.
However, no one present could even feel the fluctuation of spiritual power. This guy's proficiency in this spell was definitely not low.
He had no choice but to swallow this loss.
"Junior Brother Lin, is there a problem with the ingredients for the pill?" Li Yunxi asked at this time.
Just when Lin Qianxing was about to answer that he had accidentally damaged two herbs, a voice suddenly said to him carefully, "Junior Brother Lin, these are the leftovers from my previous alchemy. You can use them."
Hearing the voice, Lin Qianxing turned his head and found that it was Senior Sister Wang Han, who usually seemed more introverted.
She was also an alchemy child, but seemed very introverted. When everyone in the Alchemy Hall came to make friends with Lin Qianxing, she was the only one standing alone in the corner, seeming to want to step forward but not daring to.
Lin Qianxing looked at the two herbs in her hand, which happened to be the two broken herbs.
This is really a coincidence.
He smiled in his heart, this is the advantage of having a high adventure attribute.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Wang. I will invite you to the Beast Control Peak for a spirit beast banquet later." Lin Qianxing took the herbs and said.
Lin Qianxing immediately returned to the furnace with the ingredients for the elixir and continued to assist Li Yunxi in refining the elixir for the second time.
If Li Yunxi lost the chance to refine the elixir because of his mistake this time, even if he didn't turn against Lin Qianxing directly, he would still be somewhat unhappy, which would create more rift between the two of them.
With Wang Han's help, he would have less trouble.
