The road is vague

Chapter 37: Creation Pill Recipe
"How could this be?"

Li Mo couldn't understand why he would spit out such a thing from his mouth after experiencing the so-called thunder tribulation in his dream.

The reason why he found it difficult to understand was that this pill recipe must be man-made.

In his understanding, the ethereal dreamland is a void world, a creation of nature, similar to a secret corner of the world that only he can explore. However, the appearance of this pill formula makes him really unbelievable. Could it be that this is a man-made product, and it is really just a so-called box?

A box called Piaomiao?

But why did this ball of gold paper come out of his mouth?
Since it was spit out from his own mouth, it proved that it was originally in his body, but was spit out due to the stimulation of thunder tribulation.

"Could it be that along with the spiritual energy of this world, some inexplicable substance has been continuously absorbed by me and entered my body? Or, as my fusion with this place deepens, it has been gradually corroded and contaminated by something, and the power of the thunder tribulation has expelled it?"

Li Mo tried to think as divergently as possible.

But how could those invisible and intangible things turn into a tangible piece of gold paper, and record a pill recipe that must have been integrated with the wisdom of human cultivators?
Even from the perspective of a Qi-cultivating cultivator, this is really a bit confusing.

Li Mo felt confused and lost.

And the sounds too.

At first it was the desperate roar of a beast, and then the hoarse murmur of a human. He always felt that there was some connection, as if it was recording something. The strange changes in the "Piaomiao Box" made him feel more and more bizarre.

This has definitely surpassed the original level of fusion of the Mad Hunter and entered a deeper level.

So he lowered his head again and looked at the gold paper in his hand.

On this mysterious golden paper, there is a recipe for a pill called Creation Pill.

There is only one effect of swallowing the Refining Creation Pill, which is to improve physical fitness. Apart from that, there is no other detailed introduction.

Li Mo looked at the recipe in a daze.

Now he has mastered all the basic knowledge of alchemy, and all he needs to do is put it into practice. However, the recipe for the Creation Pill made him a little confused for a moment, because the process of refining the Creation Pill is not through the fire refining that Li Mo is familiar with, but the so-called thunder refining method, which comes with the special way of magic power circulating in the meridians in the body when the thunder spirit root cultivator activates the thunder refining method.

This requires the cultivator to control the lightning arc and continuously focus it on the alchemy furnace.

Besides.

The Creation Pill will also be combined with spiritual herbs of different years according to the strength of the medicinal ingredients.

Li Mo took a quick look and found that these herbs were not unfamiliar. If they were less than a hundred years old, there would be a chance to gather them together, but the key was that this so-called medicine lead, which was also the main medicine, was actually something called "Piao Miao Yao Dan".

Li Mo naturally knew about the demon pill.

But he had never heard of the so-called Piaomiao Demon Pill.

Since the word "Piao Miao" has been added in front of this demon pill, it seems to have some connection with the "Piao Miao Box", or it seems to be related to the Piao Miao dream.

"Could it be the inner elixir of the monster in this ethereal dream?"

Thinking of this, Li Mo's face turned a little ugly. He couldn't help but look up at the sky and happened to see a huge shadow sliding quickly across the dark clouds.

With his mere fourth-level Qi training level, how could he possibly kill the monster and obtain the elixir?
What's more, he has been in the Misty Dreamland for so long and has never seen any other living creatures, so the huge shadows that occasionally slide quickly across the dark clouds are just natural phenomena here in his mind, not monsters at all. He has been scaring himself.

After regaining his sanity, Li Mo quickly denied the speculation that he had obtained the Piaomiao Demon Pill in the Piaomiao dream.

Although he knew very little about this place now, his reason told him that even if there really was a monster here, it was definitely not something he could get his hands on at the moment. Moreover, this pill recipe clearly mentioned the Qi-training Creation Pill that could be taken by cultivators in the Qi-training stage, and it only required a Piaomiao Demon Pill from the Qi-training stage as a medicine guide.

Li Mo did not think that there would be such a weak monster in the Piaomiao dream. Moreover, as far as he knew, monsters would gradually begin to condense monster pills only after the foundation-building stage, depending on their different talents. Until the golden elixir stage, all monsters would inevitably condense monster pills.

"I'll ask Master Chen Rong for advice on the Thunder Refining Method and the Piaomiao Demon Pill after I wake up."

After Li Mo firmly memorized the techniques of the Thunder Refining Method and the method of identifying the Piaomiao Demon Pill, he took the initiative to control himself to break away from the Piaomiao dream and slowly woke up from the bed.

"Head hurts!"

Li Mo's face was pale.

He felt that his spiritual consciousness was severely damaged, and his spiritual perception of the surroundings was greatly reduced. He couldn't even sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Fortunately, he didn't have any magic weapons on him, otherwise it would be no different from scrap metal and could not be controlled at all.

After a while.

Li Mocai reluctantly put on his clothes and washed up.

"It's two quarters past noon."

After taking a deep breath, Li Mo pushed open the door, only to find Ma Ling standing not far away, pacing and wandering.

When Ma Ling saw Li Mo, she immediately lowered her head and acted a little awkwardly. It was obvious that this was because of Li Mo's previous clear rejection, which made her a little unsure how to get along with Li Mo after she came back.

Li Mo was about to say something when his body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Ma Ling was startled. As a martial artist, she quickly supported Li Mo without any hesitation and was terrified.

"Li Mo, why are you so weak!"

"My consciousness may be injured. I feel a little dizzy."

It took Li Mo a long time to recover.

He knew that this was the aftereffect of being struck by lightning in the ethereal dream. Damage to the consciousness was equivalent to damage to the soul. Apart from a few legendary elixirs that could treat it, he could only slowly nurse it back to health.

"So the methods of overcoming tribulations recorded in the Piaomiao Box actually have this purpose."

Looking at Ma Ling, this big and strong girl, who was taking care of him like a calf, Li Mo felt mixed emotions for a moment.

"do not Cry."

Ma Ling pouted and said "hmm" in grievance.

When Niu Li and Yang Guang saw how weak Li Mo was, they were also shocked. Then Li Mo, supported by the three of them, walked towards the Shenshu Square.

Two barriers have been set up in the Shenshu Square.

It’s just that one of the barriers has a larger range, and the other has a smaller range.

Li Mo guessed that the barrier with a larger range should be used for the final examination of the third-year disciples.

At this time, the square was already crowded with disciples from the Advanced Training Hall, as well as some active disciples from the Inner Gate Hall who came to join in the fun. They pointed at the two barriers and seemed to be reminiscing about the past.

Li Mo's head felt dizzy again. Ma Ling, Niu Li and Yang Guang hurriedly supported him to the kitchen of the training hall to rest for a while.

Ma Ling looked worried.

"You are in this state, can you still take the test?"

"try your best."

Li Mo was still thinking about asking Master Chen Rong about the method of thunder refining and the matter of Piaomiao Demon Pill.

Compared to the strange pill recipe that appeared in his dream, Li Mo didn't think this assessment was that important. After all, he was only a first-year disciple. Whether he could achieve good results depended more on luck than on strength. Therefore, he responded absentmindedly. Niu Li brought breakfast.

"How did you get yourself into this state?"

Li Mo gave a wry smile.

"I originally planned to master a basic high-level spell before the exam, but I overestimated myself and ended up like this."

Yang Guang showed a solemn expression and looked around furtively.

"There's a half-immortal in my hometown. I heard that if a child in the neighborhood is scared and loses their soul, they will go to him to summon his soul. Why don't you go..."

Li Mo was speechless for a while and immediately rejected Yang Guang's proposal.

After breakfast, the annual assessment officially begins.

Li Mo took a look at the lottery list and thought his luck was pretty good.

Not only is the performance time in the afternoon, there is also some rest time, and the opponent in the ring is also a first-year disciple, a male cultivator named Wu Xin.

By comparison.

Ma Ling and Niu Li had much worse luck, as they both drew second-year disciples.

The luckiest one was Yang Guang, he actually got a bye!
The reason for the byes is that the first round of assessment will determine the top 256. After entering the second round of assessment, there will be a so-called loser group competing for the top 200 and sending out rewards.

"I know Wu Xin."

Yang Guang looked a little solemn.

"When I was on duty before, I was assigned to a team with him. He seems to be from a hunter family and has some martial arts skills. He is also very familiar with Tao Ran. A few days ago, he followed Tao Ran and Zhou Zheng to confront those disciples from the aristocratic families. I heard that he is quite powerful, so you have to be careful."

"Well, thank you."

After Li Mo thanked her, he looked around and saw where Master Chen Rong was. He said to the three of them, "I'm feeling better now. I plan to go over there and ask Master Chen Rong about the alchemy assessment."

"Well, be careful."

After saying goodbye to the three people, Li Mo walked towards where Master Chen Rong was, but heard Guo Hongjuan's sarcastic voice on the way.

He turned to look.

Guo Hongjuan was seen holding the arm of a male cultivator, standing in front of Lu Tianyou and mocking him.

"Isn't this our heart-burning arsonist, Young Master Lu? I heard that some time ago, he was so ignorant that he tried to pursue Miss Ye. As a result, not only was he rejected, but he was also severely punished by the people of the Ye family. Tsk tsk, what a toad wants to eat swan meat, isn't it?"

Lu Tianyou lowered his head and said nothing. He no longer had the vigor he once had.

Li Mo sighed inwardly.

Lu Tianyou had changed so much in the past six months. Although Li Mo knew that he was also wrong, he still couldn't bear to see his friend continue to be humiliated, so he forced himself to walk over and put on a flattering attitude.

"Hongguo, Fairy Guo, look at how he looks now. There's no point in mocking him any further. Forget it."

After hearing this, Guo Hongjuan snorted, then actually turned around and left arm in arm with the male cultivator next to her.

From this it seems that she is not only not a so-called flower snake, but also a good girl who dares to love and hate. It's a pity that Lu Tianyou does not know how to cherish her. In terms of feelings, Li Mo sighs helplessly for Lu Tianyou.

"How are you?"

Li Mo was very worried that Lu Tianyou would never recover from this. He still liked the previous Lu Tianyou.

After hearing this, Lu Tianyou took a deep breath and seemed to want to cheer up.

"I'm fine. I broke through to the third level of Qi training a few days ago."

Li Mo's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"You're practicing the Great Circulation in the training hall? Isn't that too risky?"

Lu Tianyou smiled coldly.

"I will definitely prove to everyone that I, Lu Tianyou, deserve her!"

Li Mo sighed. This good friend seemed to have become a little extreme, very much like himself after Zhao Siman's death, or a replica of Shi Yazhou who had died before.

But outsiders can't help with this kind of thing, we can only let time heal it.

"Okay, I have something to do here, so I need to go over there. I'll cheer you on whenever you're on stage."

"Half an hour later."

"it is good."

After Li Mo said goodbye to Lu Tianyou, he found Master Chen Rong and asked her questions about the Thunder Refining Method and Piaomiao Demon Pill.

Upon hearing this, Chen Rong frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"Although I haven't heard of the Thunder Refining Method, I do know a senior who has mastered the Water Refining Method. According to this senior, alchemy in ancient times was not limited to fire refining. So I guess the Thunder Refining Method you are talking about should be a special alchemy method suitable for certain elixirs in ancient times."

Having said this, she paused.

"However, analyzing the properties of thunder pill refining, while it should be very effective in removing impurities and significantly improve the efficiency of refining low-level pills, and may even have extraordinary effects on refining elixirs with demon pills as the main ingredient, it is unlikely to be suitable for mid- and high-level elixirs based on thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old elixirs. I'm afraid it will significantly increase the chances of the pills breaking."

When Li Mo heard this, he was shocked.

But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and nodded silently without saying anything.

"So, using the secret technique of thunder to practice alchemy and become an alchemist may be relatively easy, but becoming a master or grandmaster of alchemy is probably very difficult. It can only be considered a side path, not a bright path. At least in today's world, fire refining is the first choice. Other alchemy methods can only be considered secret techniques suitable for specific situations."

Chen Rong conducted a detailed analysis based on her knowledge, and Li Mo listened attentively.

The longer they spent together, the more he admired this senior sister. Whether it was her knowledge or her character, there was nothing to impress.

It seems that people from aristocratic families cannot all be lumped together.

"As for the so-called Piaomiao Demon Pill, I've never heard of it. Since the word 'Piaomiao' is added before the demon pill, it probably refers to a specific type of demon beast, perhaps a rare species, or a demon beast from a special area?"

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my confusion."

Li Mo benefited a lot and expressed his gratitude immediately.

Chen Rong smiled and said, "Whatever opportunity you've discovered, it seems suitable for practicing alchemy. Don't worry about the assessment; it's just a formality. During the year-end assessment period, when you're ready, feel free to contact me. I'll take you to meet Master Chen of the Alchemy Hall, my aunt."

"Thank you, Master."

Li Mo quickly expressed his gratitude.
