The road is vague

Chapter 51 Good Fortune Pill

Li Mo, who made a fortune, can finally take a break.

But such an opportunity cannot be encountered at any time. In the past two months, he has fully experienced the hardships of the disciples in the training hall in earning spirit stones. Compared with this hard work and waiting for opportunities to earn spirit stones, he thinks it is more reliable to earn spirit stones by alchemy skills.

So in the following time, he would go to the market at the foot of the mountain almost every day to see if there were any lucky herbalists who had found century-old elixirs to sell there.

"Li Mo!"

Ma Ling found Li Mo with an excited look on her face.

"My Ma-style boxing has achieved a small improvement!"

After you have achieved some success in martial arts, you will have a wonderful feeling. Your body will seem to become much lighter in an instant, and you will feel as light as a swallow.

"Oh?"

Li Mo smiled and said, "That's really congratulations."

Ma Ling looked impatient.

"Let's go and have a competition!"

Half an hour later.

Ma Ling seemed a little disappointed. She had originally thought that she could finally fight Li Mo back and forth, but in the end, she was quickly defeated after just a dozen moves every time.

"do not fight."

Ma Ling was a little annoyed, and the look she gave Li Mo became more complicated.

"How long do I have to practice until I can be like you?"

Ma's boxing is also a third-rate martial art in the world. Compared with second-rate martial arts, it is easy to learn, progresses quickly, and has a weak upper limit. Li Mo was thoughtful after hearing this.

"When you go from minor to major martial arts mastery, the increase in strength isn't that great, but the time and energy required to practice increases exponentially. The reason there's such a gap between you and me is because you don't have the evil spirit yet. You'll need to combine that killing spirit with your instinct for danger, making your moves instinctive. Only then can you be considered a master of basic martial arts."

"Evil spirit?"

Ma Ling seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed.

She observed Li Mo carefully, and it took her a while to react.

"Yes, the first time I saw you at the Anle City dinner, I felt that you were a true master. So that's how it is. Then how do I obtain evil spirits?"

"Hunting large beasts, or... killing people, will cause the spirits of those creatures to harbor resentment after their death, with humans being the worst offenders."

Li Mo's response made Ma Ling think deeply.

A few more days passed.

While practicing, Li Mo continued to go down the mountain every day to look for the century-old elixir.

Ever since he fought with Ma Ling that day, Ma Ling was inspired and left the sect, probably to hunt large wild animals.

The training hall was full of discussions about the year-end assessment. There were less than four months left before this year's year-end assessment. Almost every second-year disciple had made great progress over the past six months. Many independent disciples had already acquired magical weapons or improved their cultivation through Qi Gathering Pills.

Li Mo sighed after getting up early today.

It is really hard to live like this, waiting for something to come to you every day. The century-old elixir collected by the herbalists at the foot of the mountain is not so easy to wait for.

Generally speaking.

The easiest way to obtain the hundred-year-old elixir is undoubtedly through the sect's public spiritual fields, but it requires consuming the sect's contributions. As a disciple of the Advanced Studies Hall, Li Mo naturally does not have that much contribution from the sect.

Secondly, you have to wait for the opportunity to complete the public alchemy task, which you can only do after you officially join the Alchemy Hall.

Then you can also buy it from private spiritual fields, but spiritual plant cultivators also have to survive on a daily basis, and the area of ​​private spiritual fields that can be applied for is limited. Only after decades of hard cultivation can you obtain a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine. The daily expenses over the past few decades are not a small amount, and a sum of spiritual stones is required every year to pay for the rental of the spiritual fields. Naturally, the hundred-year-old spiritual medicine obtained will not be sold at a low price easily.

Finally, it was purchased through the herbalist at the foot of the mountain. Occasionally, someone would be lucky enough to get a century-old elixir, and as long as they sold it in the market, they would get at least a thousand taels of silver. From then on, they would have no worries about food and drink, so the price would naturally be much lower.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing doesn't happen often.

Otherwise, the herbalists at the foot of the mountain would not have become a low-end profession, and the alchemists on the mountain would all be making a lot of money. After producing a large number of Qi Gathering Pills, the price would no longer be as high as it is now. Each pill would cost more than 30 spirit stones, which is equivalent to more than 300 taels of silver.

So Li Mo came to the hall of the training hall and received a daily rotation task to maintain the purity of Qinglongtan.

Every day at the hours of Si and You, the first-year disciples who received the task of being porters would go to Qinglong Pond to fetch water. He wanted to prevent these disciples from disturbing the spiritual beasts in Qinglong Pond.

Although the spirit stones earned from rotating tasks are not much, they can avoid fines and also gain contributions from the master.

"The second-year disciples' rotation tasks are indeed much less stressful, but they earn more spirit stones."

Li Mo was strolling leisurely beside Qinglongtan.

If someone makes a loud noise nearby, he will stop them sternly.

Qinglongtan is quite vast and the water is bottomless. Occasionally, a big fish flashes by. In the distance, there are many macaques playing in the woods, and a waterfall flows down from the top of the mountain.

According to the legend of Lingmumen.

In addition to the sacred rainbow bird that lives on the sacred tree of Lingmumen, there is also a carp that jumped over the Dragon Gate in Qinglongtan and turned into a dragon, becoming the guardian beast of Lingmumen.

After the first-year students finished fetching water, Li Mo's rotation task also came to a temporary end.

"Wasting time and waiting in vain is not a solution. Let's try both ends."

After completing the mission, he arrived at the Dharma Protector Hall compound and said to the gatekeeper, "I am Li Mo from the Alchemy Hall. I am here to visit Dharma Protector Tian Fen. Please inform him."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper boy went into the inner courtyard to report.

After a while.

Tian Fen walked out of the Guardian Hall with a puzzled look on his face. When he saw that it was Li Mo, he suddenly understood.

"Junior Brother Li Mo, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"

Under the leadership of Tian Fen, Li Mo entered the inner courtyard of the Guardian Hall.

He kept looking around and sighed in his heart that the area of ​​the Guardian Hall was so large!

There is even a special training ground here. It seems that every disciple can enjoy a separate cave, which is protected by restrictions. The conditions are much better than those in the training hall. They can practice the Great Circulation in their own cave with peace of mind.

No wonder some people say that the Guardian Hall is the best hall in the inner sect, and the Law Enforcement Hall is far inferior to it.

After all, strictly speaking, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall also need to go out on official business frequently and punish disciples who violate the sect's laws, while the disciples of the Guardian Hall only need to protect the sect's safety, and are more like the sect's elite troops.

The two came to a pavilion.

"Brother Tian, ​​I came here this time to learn thunder magic from you."

"Haha, Junior Brother, are you planning to learn my secret thunder technique?"

Tian Fen shook his head and smiled.

"To tell you the truth, I was really short of spirit stones at that time, so I might not have explained it to you clearly. Although the power of my secret thunder technique is extraordinary, its negative effects should not be underestimated. I learned it from a page of a fragment. Junior brother, do you want to consider other thunder techniques?" Li Mo came here to learn the basic thunder technique.

Although he had quite a few spirit stones on him, there were many more places where he needed to spend them, and he also needed to invest in alchemy, so it was naturally impossible for him to spend them at will.

But after hearing what the other party said, he couldn't help but become curious.

"I wonder what the negative effects are?"

Tian Fen sighed and described the negative effects of the secret technique in detail. The more Li Mo listened, the more frightened he became. Isn't this just an amplification of the negative effects of his thunder refining method?

Before using the secret technique each time, one must go through a long period of preparation in advance to condense the so-called thunder crystal. After using the secret technique, not only will the body become weak, but also a part of the cultivation will be lost. This negative effect is not small.

I don’t know if this negative effect will be the same as the Thunder Refining Method, and will gradually become lighter until it disappears completely as the Creation Pill improves the body?
However, he did not come here for this secret technique.

"In that case, I'll give the matter of the secret technique of thunder a little more thought. I wonder what other thunder techniques Senior Brother Tian has mastered?"

Tian Fen smiled proudly upon hearing this.

"What do you want to learn, brother?"

"It's probably a life-saving type, a defensive type or a physical type."

Tian Fen nodded and said, "Then I have two thunder spells for you to choose from. One is the beginner-intermediate spell, Thunder Step, for eight spirit stones, and the other is the beginner-advanced spell, Lightning Shield, for sixteen spirit stones."

"Then... let's learn them all."

Li Mo's response made Tian Fen stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Okay!"

Nine days later.

With Li Mo's unremitting efforts and Tian Fen's careful teaching, he mastered the two spells of Shunlei Bu and Lei Guang Shield at the fastest speed. However, his proficiency was still lacking and he needed to practice diligently in the future.

After this incident.

Li Mo still frequently found time to come to the market at the foot of the mountain to wait for the century-old elixir, but his patience seemed to have gradually worn out.

this day.

He spent more than eighty spirit stones to buy various auxiliary medicines needed to refine the elixir. Since they were all thirty-year-old spirit medicine seedlings, the price was not high.

"Since we still haven't waited for the century-old elixir needed to refine the Qi Condensation Pill, let's first see the effect of this so-called Creation Pill and see if we can use it to break through the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training."

Li Mo came to the Alchemy Hall again and applied for an alchemy room.

Three hours later.

Li Mo in the alchemy room slowly retracted the lightning arc, and the two spirit stones under the alchemy furnace shattered with a "crack". He ignored it and just looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him quietly.

As the thunder in the furnace gradually disappeared and a wonderful fragrance wafted in the air, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's done!"

Li Mo opened the alchemy furnace and looked inside.

He was shocked to find that there was no medicine residue in the furnace, only an elixir lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace.

"Why is there only one?"

After being stunned for a moment, Li Mo carefully searched the alchemy furnace again to confirm that there was nothing missing and no extra medicinal residue, which made him puzzled.

So he held the Creation Pill in his hand, opened his spiritual eyes and observed it carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

In his eyes, this pill seemed to come alive, like a heart beating constantly. In addition to a large amount of pure spiritual power, it also contained a strange and wonderful aura.

"This feeling... is fantastic, ethereal, dreamlike, and mysterious..."

Li Mo actually felt all kinds of beautiful and dreamy feelings, as if he had come to a dream world full of fantasy legends.

"Piaomiao Dreamland, Piaomiao Peak!"

Li Mo slowly opened his eyes and recalled that he had a similar feeling once.

That was the first time he entered a hazy dream. He was in a confused state and walked in the dream for a long time. When he was about to wake up, the clouds in the sky cleared and the sun came out. An upside-down fairy mountain appeared, which also gave him this fantasy, hazy, dreamy and mysterious feeling.

"Piaomiao Dreamland, Piaomiao Peak, Piaomiao Demon Pill, I seem to be gradually approaching the truth."

After Li Mo recorded the appearance, spiritual power veins, and medicinal properties of the Creation Pill in detail in his notes, he no longer hesitated and swallowed it.

Gudong, gudong, gudong.

The effect of the Creation Pill is immediate!

Li Mo actually felt as if a second heart had grown inside his body, making "gulp" and "gulp" sounds.

Then he felt as if the blood and energy in his body were about to burn, and his body was full of vitality from the inside out. This feeling was very similar to when he had achieved some success in martial arts. Although it was much softer, it was continuous, wave after wave.

Simultaneously.

A pure spiritual power surged out from the pill. This spiritual power was actually attached with a weak lightning property. It kept shuttling between the veins of Li Mo's body, not even sparing the edge corners, and finally gathered in the vortex of magic power filled with lightning properties in Li Mo's dantian.

"what……"

Li Mo couldn't help but hum a long song.

He felt his hair and sweat hairs standing up, every pore was breathing heavily and constantly releasing static electricity around.

"This feeling……"

Li Mo's voice was trembling. He looked at his hands through his spiritual eyes. Electricity was constantly flowing under his skin. He felt as if he was being reborn.

"Good Fortune Pill, Good Fortune Pill, it's worthy of being called Good Fortune Pill!"

That night.

Li Mo felt that the magic power that had been dormant in his dantian for a long time suddenly began to surge like boiling water. Then, in the center of the magic power vortex, countless lightning threads gradually gathered into a lightning ball, like the core of his dantian.

This is the sign of breaking through the seventh level of Qi training, the magic particle!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions, as well as the spiritual power in the Creation Pill, are continuously converging towards the magic power particles in Li Mo's dantian, and are quickly transformed into pure magic power.

Li Mo's magical power increased rapidly, almost increasing by half in a short period of time, and became more refined.

After a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

"No wonder the master uses the seventh level of Qi training as the criterion for judging the quality of disciples. After breaking through the seventh level, it's so wonderful. The sluggishness and weakness I used to feel when casting basic and advanced spells disappeared almost instantly. It seems that by the time I reach the tenth level of Qi training, I'll be able to cast all kinds of basic and advanced spells with ease."

After a brief excitement, Li Mo's mood gradually calmed down. He still needed to continue refining the medicinal power.

Li Mo could feel that improving his cultivation was just a side effect of the Creation Pill.

At this moment, the Creation Pill in his stomach was like a second heart, constantly and subtly improving his physical condition.
