Chapter 257: Refining the Foundation-Building Pill
After that, every morning, a seven or eight-year-old child would kneel in front of Li Qing's courtyard gate, with tears in his eyes, looking really pitiful.
This kind of life lasted for more than two months, and the child still persisted, probably forced by his mother.
One night, Li Qing looked at the layer of frost outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
It has been almost a year since he came to Qinghuatan, and another cold winter is coming.
Li Qing took out the soul-raising bell, used spiritual power to refine it once as usual, and then wore it properly on his body. For the next whole day, this bell will continue to nourish his consciousness and strengthen his soul.
In this way, he has been doing this for four years without realizing it.
And this soul that has been nurtured for four years, plus the fact that he took a lot of Tianxing grass in the secret realm before, now his soul strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the foundation-building period.
"If my soul becomes stronger in the future, I might be able to find a cultivator in the foundation-building stage to take over my body, and I can save the foundation-building pills by then."
Li Qing laughed at himself, then shook his head and took out a copy of "The Incomplete Solution of Refining Equipment" and a pen from his storage bag.
This incomplete inheritance of refining equipment was bought by him in Tianhe Market a few years ago. At that time, the stall owner surnamed Meng gave him a copy of "Sealing Wood Method" and only asked him to promise to help repair the top-grade magic tools in the future.
Later, Tianhe Market was destroyed, and Li Qing didn't know what happened to the poor cultivator surnamed Meng.
"Now the Shi family has been destroyed, and only a few remnants are left roaming outside."
"If I have the ability to repair the best magic weapon in the future, and I can meet him again, I will help him repair it, and I don't have to worry about the revenge of the Shi family."
As he said, Li Qing picked up the pen and wrote some of his own annotations in this "Refining the Remaining Solution", and also added some of his own blacksmithing experience. Finally, he thought about it and added two pages of the five elements basic spiritual patterns that he was familiar with.
So far, this incomplete refining inheritance has been supplemented. If all of them are learned, it will not be a problem to refine a low-grade magic weapon in the future, and it can also be regarded as a help on the road of cultivation.
And if he can't even master these easy-to-understand inheritances, with such poor aptitude and comprehension, even if Li Qing accepts him as a disciple and teaches him personally, he will not be able to make much achievements in refining in the future.
"Just think of it as a good deed that will bring good results."
After the words fell, Li Qing took advantage of the night to place the completed weapon refining inheritance at the gate of his courtyard, and then closed the gate tightly.
That night, a snowflake fell in this winter, and the weather became much colder.
A child in simple clothes, trembling, walked towards the gate where he had knelt for more than two months.
In his young heart, the gate that had been closed all the time was much colder than the winter climate.
But there was no way, his parents' orders could not be disobeyed, thinking of his mother's coercion, he had to continue to walk out in this cold winter night and kneel down to ask for a master.
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but clench his already red little hands, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He was holding a bag of spiritual rice in his hand, which was something he rarely ate on weekdays. Now, in order to seek a master to learn skills, he would not even want it if he gave it to others.
At a young age, he had truly experienced the difficulties of the bottom-level casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, the little boy, who was somewhat numb in his heart, was ready to kneel down as usual, until dawn.
But just when he lowered his head, there was a book placed in front of the gate!
The cold wind of the winter night blew, turning the book, and a few pages of fresh ink were faintly revealed.
Immediately, the boy knelt down and kowtowed several times, shouting with gratitude: "Thank you Master Li! Thank you Master Li!"
After that, he left a bag of spiritual rice in front of the gate of the courtyard, and then ran back quickly with the refining inheritance in his hand.
In the courtyard, Li Qing's consciousness had already taken in everything that had just happened in his mind.
"After all, I am not hard-hearted enough." Li Qing laughed at himself, then shook his head, and signaled Fan Tong to take back the bag of spiritual rice at the gate of the courtyard.
The next morning, Li Qing, while cooking a pot of spiritual rice, admired the snow scene outside the courtyard.
Qinghua Lake in winter is even more beautiful, with green mountains turning white and a thin layer of ice on the calm lake, which looks more like a smooth mirror.
After the sweet and delicious spiritual rice was cooked, Li Qing was about to start eating, but he thought of a spiritual bird flying slowly, placing a letter in front of his courtyard, and then quickly flew away.
Li Qing was startled, and then took the letter in front of the courtyard in his hand.
There were only two simple words written on it, but it made Li Qing's calm state of mind ripple again.
"Come quickly!"
The signature was Taoist Qingyang. Li Qing took a deep breath, and then a ball of hot flames surged in his hand, burning the letter to ashes.
After a whole year of operation, the foundation-building pill he wanted finally showed signs!
"Let's go!"
Stepping on the Wushuang Hammer, Li Qing flew into the air and rushed towards Taoist Qingyang's cave at a very fast speed.
As if to welcome Li Qing, the restrictions in front of the cave were opened at this time, without any obstruction.
Seeing this, Li Qing didn't hesitate to walk in, and said with a fist: "Senior Qingyang, I, Li Qing, am here to visit you!"
When he walked into the cave, the first person he saw was not Taoist Qingyang, but a slender woman!
The moment he saw this woman, Li Qing couldn't help but froze for a while, very surprised.
This woman is none other than Liu Hanyue!
She was wearing a light blue fur coat, with a piece of snow-white mink fur exposed at the collar, which added a touch of luxury to her cool temperament.
Liu Hanyue, who noticed the movement, turned around. When she saw Li Qing, she couldn't help but be stunned, not hiding the surprise in her eyes.
Although they had only met a few times, Liu Hanyue had a certain impression of Li Qing.
What she didn't expect was that the casual cultivator who worked as a helper in her family had now become a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining.
Li Qing's reaction was quick. He suppressed the surprise in his heart, then clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Fairy Hanyue!"
Liu Hanyue tapped her forehead and responded in a still cold voice: "Yes."
In the cave, Taoist Qingyang, who was sitting cross-legged, laughed loudly and said: "Haha, Miss Liu, this is the person I want to introduce to you who refines the Foundation Establishment Pill. It seems that I don't need to waste any time introducing you. Two It’s good to know people.”
At this time, Li Qing looked at Liu Hanyue openly. There was obvious fatigue in this woman's eyebrows. It was expected that she had been disturbed by the trivial matters of the family in recent years.
As for her cultivation, she is now a monk at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage. At this stage, she has reached the Great Perfection.
But for her, this level is a bit low.
When I first met Liu Hanyue, she was already at the ninth level of Qi refining. I didn't expect that after so many years, she still hadn't established a foundation.
Liu Hanyue looked at Li Qing and nodded, and then said bluntly: "I'm going to say something ugly first. The elixir I brought this time is complete, only three auxiliary medicines are missing."
"If there are only two foundation-building pills in this furnace, I will take them all away. I will supply you with the three auxiliary medicines you provided with the market price of spiritual stones."
"If a furnace of pills turns into three pills, you can take one, but you have to give me some spiritual stones as compensation."
"You can think about it. If you don't agree, I will collect the remaining three auxiliary medicines on my own."
The logic of what he said was very clear. Li Qing only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to the other party's proposal.
The most precious thing about the Foundation Establishment Pill is the main medicine, and the remaining auxiliary medicines can be collected with just a little time.
If Li Qing refuses, I believe that with Liu Hanyue's ability, it won't take long to collect the remaining three auxiliary medicines.
"Okay, I agree!" Li Qing nodded and said.
Seeing that Li Qing agreed, Liu Hanyue didn't say much and took out all the elixirs in the storage bag. There were more than a dozen types.
They are all elixirs for refining the Foundation Building Pill, especially the white fruit among them that is the most eye-catching!
This is the Fusion Fruit! The main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill is now a rare elixir found in the world of immortality. Even if its value does not need to be described in detail, you can know how precious this Yuan Yuan Fruit is.
"Haha, little friend, just take out the Xuan Bing Ye, Star Anise Grass and Magic Heart Fruit." Taoist Qingyang said with a kind smile.
Hearing this, Li Qing took out the three elixirs in his storage bag without saying a word.
With the number of nearly twenty kinds of elixirs coming out, the amount of elixirs needed to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills was finally gathered.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing's mood couldn't help but fluctuate. Even Liu Hanyue, who had always been cold and aloof, couldn't help but soften a lot.
"Senior Lao Qingyang will be next!" Liu Hanyue said softly.
"I will do my best, please rest assured, my two little friends." Taoist Qingyang said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm going to start refining the elixir next. You two can watch from the sidelines and protect me for once. Remember not to disturb me."
After hearing Taoist Qingyang's instructions, Li Qing and Liu Hanyue nodded in unison and said in unison: "It should be so."
After saying that, the two of them took a step back at the same time and watched quietly as Taoist Qingyang took out his brass tripod.
boom!
Taoist Qingyang tapped the alchemy cauldron with one hand, and saw the spiritual patterns inside the cauldron's wall shining, the fire attribute spiritual patterns glowing, and soon a blazing flame suddenly burned in the cauldron.
This flame is just ordinary fire, so naturally it cannot be used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, although Li Qing is a weapon refiner, he also knows that this step should be Wen Ding, one of the most basic steps in refining medicine.
It can be understood as heating the pot before cooking. Of course, the principle is definitely more complicated.
Although refining medicine is not as time-consuming as refining weapons, which takes ten days and a half, refining a furnace of foundation-building pills will definitely not take less time.
Li Qing said nothing and glanced at Liu Hanyue's beautiful face with his peripheral vision, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
After all, the Liu family was a large clan of immortal cultivators attached to the Tianhe Sect. They lost a Melting Yuan Fruit a few years ago, but unexpectedly found another one.
He guessed that this Fusion Fruit should have been exchanged by Liu Hanyue from the Tianhe Sect with the sect's contribution. Otherwise, with the woman's accumulation in the sect, she could have exchanged it for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
As for why he spent more contribution points to exchange for the Fusion Fruit instead of directly exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, Li Qing believed that this should be considered for the sake of the family.
Judging from Liu Hanyue's current temperament, there is a hint of tiredness in her brows, presumably because she has started to deal with trivial matters in the family.
The only thing that puzzled Li Qing was why she didn't go to the alchemist of the Tianhe Sect to refine it, but instead found an alchemist outside to refine it?
It's impossible for such a huge Tianhe Sect to not even have an alchemy elder, right?
However, Li Qing only muttered about this puzzlement in his heart and did not ask aloud.
After all, the Tianhe Sect is so large, with many factions and complicated forces. It is not surprising that there are some reasons.
Liu Hanyue seemed to notice Li Qing's gaze. She frowned slightly and turned her pretty face away slightly.
Li Qing was slightly shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that this woman's spiritual perception was so sharp that he could sense it even with his peripheral vision?
Soon, Li Qing looked straight ahead, staring at the steps of Taoist Qingyang's alchemy in front of him, and observed carefully.
He was analyzing how this alchemy was different from his usual weapon refining.
At this time, Taoist Qingyang pinched a seal with his hands, and a green flame that was different from ordinary fire rose from the bottom of the medicine cauldron.
Innate true fire!
A kind of flame that can only be activated when you reach the foundation-building stage. This fire is most suitable for alchemy and weapon refining.
Li Qing's eyes were filled with envy. If he could have such a flame, it would save a lot of effort in refining tools in the future, and many spiritual materials could be easily smelted.
Next, Taoist Qingyang casually took the spiritual medicine.
The refining of the foundation-building pill began!
