I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 137: The Demonic Song Jie

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiqing smiled indifferently.

“After so many years, he only just broke through from the third level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"This cultivation progress speed should be due to the five-attribute spiritual roots."

In fact, Song Jie's cultivation speed is still faster than that of cultivators with five-attribute spiritual roots.

It is roughly equivalent to the cultivation speed of a cultivator with four-attribute spiritual roots.

Considering that Song Jie is a first-level alchemist with very advanced alchemy skills, he should not be short of spirit stones and flowers.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Song Jie must have used some external objects to slightly speed up his cultivation.

But even so, the speed of cultivation progress was still too slow in their eyes.

Therefore, Song Zhiqing felt that what Song Jie had said about the five-attribute spiritual roots should be true and he did not deceive them.

“With five-attribute spiritual roots and the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was able to cultivate the Danhuo Technique to this level.

"I suddenly felt that I had lived in vain all these years."

Lin Youtian sighed softly.

For some reason, he felt envious but not jealous of Song Jie.

He envied Song Jie's talent in alchemy that far surpassed his own.

Also, because of Song Jie's spiritual talent, no one could feel too jealous of him.

In Lin Youtian's opinion, with Song Jie's five-attribute spiritual roots, he would at best be able to reach the foundation-building stage in the future, and it would be almost impossible for him to successfully form a pill.

In other words, Song Jie could only become a second-level alchemist in the end.

And he, Lin Youtian, has the dual attributes of wood and fire, is a disciple of Danding Sect, and has the support of the Lin family behind him.

For him, building the foundation was just a piece of cake.

Even if it is to form the elixir, it is only a matter of time.

Even if he is at the Nascent Soul stage, he can give it a try.

In the future, the two of them are destined to be people of different levels.

Therefore, Lin Youtian was not jealous at all of Song Jie's talent in alchemy.

I just feel a little bit sad and regretful.

If only Song Jie's alchemy talent was given to him, he would have a chance to compete with Mu Lingxuan for the title of the number one alchemy genius.

Song Zhiqing didn't have such a strong utilitarian mindset and smiled slightly.

He comforted her, "Junior Brother Lin, there is no need to feel inferior. Your spiritual root talent and alchemy talent are both top-notch.

"Song Jie's situation is just an isolated case..."

At this point, Song Zhiqing also sighed and continued, "However, it is a pity for Song Jie's spiritual root talent."

While the two were expressing their feelings, Zhao Xuanyu, who was sitting at the highest point, had a solemn look on his face.

He immediately raised his hand and waved, and an invisible soundproof barrier enveloped him and Huangfu Shen.

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu, can you tell me where you met this young friend Song?"

Huangfu Shen blinked his eyes and chuckled, "I met him at Xinyuefang Market, which is not far from here.

"Why? Sect Master Zhao wants to recruit him as his disciple?"

Zhao Xuanyu nodded without hiding his inner thoughts.

"I do have this idea. This little friend Song's talent in alchemy may not be worse than Lingxuan's."

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see Song Jie's level of cultivation and the standard of his Danhuo technique.

And he saw more than all the alchemists present.

Zhao Xuanyu saw a hint of Taoism in Song Jie's Danhuo technique.

A cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining who was able to cultivate the Alchemy Fire Technique with a hint of Taoism was undoubtedly an extremely rare alchemy genius.

Even Mu Lingxuan's Danhuo Technique is still a long way from reaching this level.

In this competition, other people might not be able to tell who will win for now, but he is almost certain that Song Jie will be the winner in the end.

However, for Zhao Xuanyu, winning or losing the competition is not important.

What is important is Song Jie's background and whether he has the opportunity to recruit Song Jie.

Huangfu Shen saw that Zhao Xuanyu was interested in talent, and immediately said with a smile: "To be honest with Sect Master Zhao, this little friend Song has five-attribute spiritual roots.

"If we recruit him as a disciple, what realm do you think we can cultivate him to with the Danding Sect's background?"

“Five-attribute spiritual roots…” Zhao Xuanyu was silent for a moment, then sighed with a hint of regret: “If you are lucky enough, you can only reach the Jindan stage at best.

"The greater possibility is that he will never be able to form a pill until his life span is exhausted."

The biggest problem for cultivators with five-attribute spiritual roots is the speed of improving their cultivation.

Although you can use external forces to speed up your cultivation, the help they can provide is ultimately limited.

Moreover, relying too much on external forces and forcibly improving one's cultivation will also leave some hidden dangers for the future.

Since Zhao Xuanyu started practicing, he has seen too many cultivators with five-attribute spiritual roots who were unable to successfully build a foundation until their lifespans ran out.

Even if one is lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, forming the elixir is still an almost insurmountable hurdle.

Huangfu Shen nodded and said, "So Sect Master Zhao must think carefully about whether to recruit him as a disciple..."

"Perhaps Zixiaozhou is more suitable for him. With his qualifications, staying in Yunmozhou will only limit his development."

Zhao Xuanyu's eyes flickered and he quickly made a decision.

Then he looked at Huangfu Shen and asked, "Will Daoist Huangfu take him to Zixiaozhou in the future?"

"After he builds his foundation, I will have this plan." Huangfu Shen smiled.

Zhao Xuanyu heard this and said, "If it is convenient at that time, please ask Daoist Huangfu to bring Lingxuan to Zixiaozhou as well."

"Master Zhao, are you willing to do that?"

Huangfu Shen looked at Zhao Xuanyu with some surprise.

When they were talking before, Zhao Xuanyu had said that he wanted Mu Lingxuan to go to Zixiaozhou for some training in the future.

He thought Huangfu Shen was just being polite, but he didn't expect that he really had this plan.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about." Zhao Xuanyu took a deep breath and sighed, "With Lingxuan's talent for alchemy, staying in Danding Sect will only limit her future.

"Just like this little friend Song, if he wants to break through to a higher level in the future, he can only go to other continents."

Huangfu Shen heard this and didn't ask any more questions. He nodded gently and said, "If I want to go back to Zixiaozhou in the future, I will bring Mu Lingxuan with me."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Huangfu." Zhao Xuanyu sincerely thanked Huangfu Shen.

After finishing this conversation, Zhao Xuanyu waved his hand again, removed the soundproof barrier, and continued to watch the competition on the discussion stage attentively.

At this time, the competition on the discussion stage was nearing its end.

After being calcined by Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan's respective Danhuo techniques, the monster's blood essence had completely lost its liquid form and turned into a fist-sized crystal.

Moreover, this crystal has a tendency to continue to shrink under the calcination of the Dan fire.

Not long after, Mu Lingxuan felt that her purification had reached its limit.

After a few more attempts, he found that the monster's blood crystals in the basin showed no sign of shrinking, so he immediately put away his Danhuo technique.

As the lavender flame dissipated, it also meant that Mu Lingxuan's purification was over.

Looking at the half fist-sized monster blood crystal in the basin, Mu Lingxuan sighed softly. She knew that she had probably lost this competition.

In fact, soon after the competition started, after feeling Song Jie's Danhuo technique, Mu Lingxuan knew that she might lose this competition.

But she still tried her best to purify the monster's blood essence.

Turning his head to look at Song Jie, he found that he was still maintaining the Danhuo technique.

The crystal of the monster's blood in Song Jie's basin was still being purified after it became only half the size of a fist, and its size was gradually shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After another dozen breaths, Song Jie slowly put away his Danhuo technique.

Looking at the crystal of monster blood in his basin which contained almost no impurities, Song Jie nodded with satisfaction.

Picking up the thumb-sized crystal of monster blood in his hand, Song Jie looked at Mu Lingxuan with a smile.

"Friend Mu, do you need to check it out?"

Mu Lingxuan smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need to test. Fellow Daoist Song won this competition."

At the beginning of the competition, the amount of monster blood in the two basins was the same.

After being calcined by the Dan fire, the crystals of Song Jie's monster blood essence were only the size of a thumb, while her monster blood essence crystals were half the size of a fist.

The result of the competition is already very obvious.

Mu Lingxuan calmly accepted the fact that she lost the competition.

Hearing this, Song Jie nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Mu, for letting me do this. I am only okay at practicing Dan Huo Jue. If we were to compete in alchemy, I would definitely not be able to beat Brother Mu."

"Fellow Daoist Song, there is no need to be modest. Your alchemy fire technique has reached the level of perfection. How could your alchemy skills be bad?"

Mu Lingxuan smiled slightly, and then asked, "However, I want to know to what extent Brother Song has purified the blood of this monster."

"Friend Mu can experience it for himself."

As he spoke, Song Jie directly threw the monster blood crystal in his hand to Mu Lingxuan.

Raising her hand to catch the crystal that was flashing with a strange red glow, Mu Lingxuan felt it silently for a while.

"This is……"

Mu Lingxuan's eyes first showed a hint of shock, and then a look of relief emerged.

“It seems that I deserved to lose this competition. Fellow Daoist Song was able to achieve nearly 100% purification.

"Fellow Daoist Song's alchemy fire technique has not only reached the realm of perfection, but has also reached the pinnacle of a first-level alchemist, reaching the pinnacle of perfection."

In this competition, Mu Lingxuan accepted defeat sincerely.

What she couldn't imagine was that Song Jie had actually reached the state she had been pursuing first.

When she first met Song Jie, she had a premonition that he would become a strong rival in her alchemy.

Now it seems that her premonition was correct.

Song Jie's performance did not disappoint her.

Although she lost the competition, Mu Lingxuan was not depressed but very happy.

Having such a good opponent in the path of alchemy finally makes me feel less lonely.

Mu Lingxuan now had a feeling that she was not alone.

At the same time, when many cultivators at the scene heard Mu Lingxuan say that Song Jie's purification degree had reached 100%, many of them stood up in shock.

"One hundred percent purified. What kind of evil person is this!"

"It turns out that there are people who can achieve 100% purification. This really shocked me."

"I really learned a lot today. Not only did I see a first-grade elixir of perfect quality, but I also saw the elixir fire technique that can purify it to 100%."

"Did you notice that Song Jie's cultivation is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage..."

"Hiss! If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that a person who is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage could cultivate Danhuo Jue to such a level. It's simply terrifying!"

"It's so scary! It's so scary!"

"Who do you think has a better talent for alchemy, Mu Lingxuan or Song Jie?"

“I think Song Jie’s talent for alchemy is even better. He is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage, but he can practice the Alchemy Fire Technique to this level.

"And Mu Lingxuan is already at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, and she is unable to cultivate the Danhuo Technique to the same level as Song Jie."

“I don’t think so. I still think Mu Lingxuan’s talent in alchemy is better.

"Although the Danhuo technique is powerful and the alchemy will not be bad, the talent for alchemy is not only determined by the level of Danhuo technique."

"That's true. Song Jie himself admitted just now that he can't beat Mu Lingxuan in alchemy.

"So in general, Mu Lingxuan's talent in alchemy should be better."

"No matter what, the alchemy talents of these two people are beyond our reach."

"Your words make sense, fellow Daoist. There is no comparison..."

Just when everyone at the scene was filled with emotion, on the stage.

Mu Lingxuan took out a emerald green fruit from her storage bag and handed it to Song Jie.

"Fellow Daoist Song, this fruit is the 'Lingyuan Immortal Fruit', since you defeated me.

"Then, according to the competition rules set in advance, this 'Spiritual Yuan Immortal Fruit' will be yours."

"Thank you, Brother Mu~"

Song Jie didn't hesitate to take the "Lingyuan Immortal Fruit" from Mu Lingxuan and looked at it carefully.

The appearance of the "Lingyuan Fairy Fruit" is a deep emerald green, as if it has gathered the clear springs in the mountains and the greenness of the morning light.

The surface of the peel is covered with delicate textures, which look like runes carefully carved by nature, flashing a faint golden light.

At the top of the fruit, there is a slightly raised golden wreath, like a crown of a fairy fruit, highlighting its nobility and extraordinaryness.

In the center of the wreath, a crystal clear dewdrop hangs without falling, like a pure gem, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

The size of this "Lingyuan Immortal Fruit" is not big, and Song Jie can hold it firmly in one hand.

"This is the 'Lingyuan Immortal Fruit', it really looks different from ordinary spiritual fruits.

"Faintly, there seems to be a trace of Tao rhyme flowing in it, which is very magical..."

Mu Lingxuan smiled and said, "'Lingyuan Immortal Fruit' is indeed different from ordinary spiritual fruits. It is a real immortal fruit that contains fragments of the laws of the great way.

“That’s why it can ignore the level of cultivation and directly raise the realm of the Qi Refining cultivator by one level.

“Unfortunately, this fruit is only effective for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and each cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can only take one.

"The second pill has no effect."

"One is enough." Song Jie laughed and put the "Lingyuan Immortal Fruit" in his hand into the storage bag.

Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Song can take this fruit when he reaches the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. This will maximize the effect of the 'Spiritual Yuan Immortal Fruit'."

"That's what I meant."

Song Jie nodded slightly, and then thought of a very critical question.

That is how long the shelf life of the "Lingyuan Immortal Fruit" is...

He immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist Mu, is there anything I should be careful of when storing this 'Ling Yuan Xian Fruit'?

"Also, how long can it be stored at most?"
