Reincarnation: Begins with the life of a black-energy immortal boy

Chapter 270 [Refining Quotations] and [Luoyang Pill]
Taking out the brush that was shining with spiritual light, Zhou Ming began to draw basic and advanced talismans.

The Flying Talisman is the only primary high-level talisman recorded in the initial explanation of talismans.

This time was different from before, failures started to increase.

The first ten were in good condition, with only three failing. Then with the next ten, I felt uneasy and failed six. With the last ten, I became more skilled and failed four.

At this point, the material is exhausted.

Of course, it's not the plant-based materials that are running out, but other types of materials.

"This is a big improvement. It finally looks somewhat presentable." Zhou Ming said with a chuckle.

If other practitioners heard this, they would probably go crazy with rage and seek Zhou Ming to die together with him.

After all, in the original book, when Han Lao Mo drew the talisman for the first time, his success rate was 0%.

With a success rate of one or two in ten, most types of talismans can already break even, and a success rate of 50% is already an extremely high level.

As a result, Zhou Ming was only relatively satisfied and commented that it looked presentable.

However, this is also because of the magical method of the Heaven and Earth Altar. If one were to draw talismans using ordinary methods, the success rate would definitely not be so high.

"With these flying talismans, even enemies in the early or middle stages of foundation building will not be too passive." Zhou Ming put the talismans away.

He turned around, looked at the compound he had visited for several years, and left.

The research on spiritual roots was completed several years ago. Some of the results have been put away, and the other research materials are placed in storage bags. There is only an empty room left here.

……

Tainan small meeting.

As soon as I entered, I heard lively noise. Compared with the last time, there were many people here this time and it looked very lively.

Zhou Ming glanced around as he walked. Just in the circle in front of him, there were several cultivators above the tenth level, including two at the twelfth level.

"It's all for the Foundation Establishment Pill!" Zhou Ming said in his heart expressionlessly.

The Yue Kingdom's cultivation world is short of resources, especially the materials for foundation-building pills, which are completely monopolized by the seven major sects.

Ordinary cultivators simply cannot obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, so if this continues, resentment will naturally arise.

Although these independent cultivators are nothing but ants in front of the seven major sects, ants can also cause irreparable harm.

For example, a cultivator at the 13th level of Qi training who has good talent but cannot improve with the Foundation Establishment Pill may assassinate young cultivators from the seven major sects when he is dying.

This is not a trivial matter that can be ignored, nor is it worth making a fuss about, and killing cannot be absolutely prohibited.

Afterwards, the seven major sects formed something like the Ascension Meeting, where every ten years each sect would send out ten Foundation Establishment Pills for selection.

Anyone who is in the Qi training stage can participate, regardless of life or death. The winner can join one of the seven major sects and receive a foundation-building pill.

Once this method was introduced, the conflict of interests between individual cultivators and sects was transformed into a competition for resources among the individual cultivators.

The sect was high and mighty, watching the internal conflicts among the independent cultivators, and used only ten foundation-building pills to select the potential talents among them.

"I remember that there seems to be a little difference between anime and novels on this point." Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the novel, qualifications don’t matter, what matters is whether you can win, but in the anime, qualifications need to be screened first, and Han Li was screened out at this stage.

But in the novel, Han Li only inquired about the situation and did not participate at all.

Because the information he had gathered was that even aristocratic family disciples who had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining would be beaten to death even if they had high-level magical weapons.

Han Li, who had only the tenth level of cultivation at the time, did not dare to go at all and directly used the Ascension Order, thus replacing one person's quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Suddenly, Zhou Ming moved and looked at the stall in front of him.

"Quotations on Equipment Refining?" There was an ink-colored book on the stall in front of Zhou Ming, with four big words written on it.

Coincidentally, it was the stall where I bought the talisman last time, but the stall owner was no longer the dark-faced burly man.

"Fellow Daoist, don't think this is just a collection of quotations, but it contains very detailed information, which is perfect for beginners." The stall owner, a middle-aged man with a long face, stood up and introduced. "Can I open it and read the first two pages?" Zhou Ming said.

"Of course." The long-faced middle-aged man nodded with a smile, picked up the book, opened it casually, and placed it in front of Zhou Ming.

This distance is just enough to see clearly, but it’s a bit far if you reach out to grab it.

Looking at the two pages of quotations, Zhou Ming nodded slightly and decided to make the deal.

After some bargaining, the price was settled with pills.

Then he continued to stroll around, and in addition to some materials and herbs, he also bought two books on basic exercises that he had never seen before.

The next day, Zhou Ming changed his clothes, disguised himself slightly, and went shopping again.

He spent several more pills to buy some materials and some basic skills he had never seen before.

On the way, they also saw Han Li, who looked dark and ordinary, and was very alert.

Five days later, the meeting ended.

"The biggest gain this time should be this pill recipe." Zhou Ming held a jade tube in his hand and probed his spiritual sense into it.

A method of refining elixir came to mind.

[Luo Yangdan]

A kind of elixir suitable for taking in the initial stage of foundation building, which can improve cultivation.

In order to exchange for the recipe for the elixir, Zhou Ming used several three-leaf pills before he exchanged them in the hands of a horse-faced cultivator with the 12th level of cultivation.

Although foundation-building elixirs are precious, the elixir recipes are another matter. After all, they are knowledge-based and can be copied in large quantities.

What is truly precious is the spiritual herb, which is a very difficult resource to find, especially the one in this pill recipe which is extremely rare.

As for the Three-Leaf Pill, it is a kind of pill developed by Zhou Ming that is made from common herbs. It is useful for practicing after one has trained Qi to perfection, and can be practiced to perfection.

It is made by selecting the branches and leaves of three kinds of precious herbs, adding other materials, and cooking them multiple times.

It is with the help of this material that Zhou Ming was able to cultivate to the 12th level.

Putting away the jade tube in his hand, Zhou Ming walked out of the fog, looked at the direction, and headed towards the location of the Ascension Meeting.

"Although the obstacle to my realm is very small, almost equivalent to half a heavenly spiritual root, a heavenly spiritual root also needs a foundation-building pill. I don't know why." Zhou Ming said in his heart.

The essence of the spirit and soul reduces the bottleneck by half, but the system of cultivating immortals is too unfamiliar, especially the spiritual roots have not been thoroughly studied.

Zhou Ming also needs the Foundation Establishment Pill just to be on the safe side.

Walking into a woods and far away from the valley, Zhou Ming suddenly curled up his lips into a smile.

"Another fish is caught, and this time there are quite a few. It seems that my skills have improved." Zhou Ming smiled secretly.

During this Tainan meeting, Zhou Minghua gave out a large number of pills. Anyone who paid attention could notice this.

Although his clothes and facial expressions change every time, this is precisely the manifestation of a guilty conscience.

Like the last time when he blatantly lost his money, some cautious people might not fall for it.

And this time, those smart guys will definitely be able to detect this information.

In the woods behind, a group of three guys with their faces wrapped in black cloth looked at each other with deep frowns.

"Brother, there are too many people trying to take advantage of this fat sheep. I have noticed six of them. Do you want to retreat?" The one I loved the most said in a fearful voice.

"It's not six, there are 11. If you want to run now, it's probably too late." The guy who was called the boss became furious after transmitting the message and was about to give orders.

Then a roar was heard.
