Chapter 194: Broken threads
Ruan Xingqi asked, "Didn't you investigate me? Can't you find the reason?"
"Senior, you are joking." Cen Zhong replied calmly, "Your transformation skills are superb. I still don't know how you can enter and leave Canghai City freely, and how can I know what you did after you left."
"If you can't find it, why should I tell you?"
Cen Zhong choked.
Ruan Xing smiled slightly wantonly, "Okay, don't disturb me while I'm refining the elixir."
Cen Zhong bowed his head and left.
Among the newly delivered materials, there are six packages of fifth-grade elixirs.
Ruan Xing refined all of them, removed the failed one, and as usual, kept 10% of the remaining and gave it to Cen Zhong.
Refining elixirs is a time-consuming and laborious task. When she came out of the alchemy room again, it was two months later.
Cen Zhong gave her a few recipes for sixth-level pills, but Ruan Xing was no longer as eager to upgrade her alchemy skills as she was before.
For her, alchemy is just a means of making money, and there is no need to pursue the highest level.
Besides, if she wanted to upgrade her alchemy skills now, the points required were beyond her ability to afford.
In comparison, Ruan Xing wanted the recipe for the longevity pill more. The longevity pill was a fifth-grade pill that did not require upgrading alchemy skills. Moreover, the pill was expensive and could definitely withstand her spending.
When he once again made this request to Cen Zhong, Cen Zhong said with a wooden face, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I really don't have the recipe."
"Then where did the longevity pills you auctioned come from? Since there are pills, there must be a recipe. Where did you get the recipe? Can you tell me where to get it?"
Ruan Xing asked casually as he rummaged through the 300,000 freshly-made spirit stones and a bottle of Soul-Nourishing Pills in his storage bag.
Cen Zhong shook his head silently and said nothing more.
Ruan Xing then began to deduce the incomplete skills in his memory.
A recharge of 300,000 spirit stones is only 3 million points, and there are less than 400 simulations in total. I hope it will be successful this time.
There are not so many high-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are too many high-level elixirs refined at one time. The market is approaching saturation, and the price of elixirs will drop.
The next day, Ruan Xing's courtyard welcomed an uninvited guest.
She almost forgot that she came to Wanbaolou at the invitation of the person in front of her.
After such a long time, she hasn't been treated specially by others.
The man in front of him was wearing a crimson-purple robe and holding a jade-broken fan. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled in a familiar but not overly friendly way. He got straight to the point and said, "You want the recipe for the longevity pill?"
Ruan Xing felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. He coughed twice and did not speak rashly. Instead, he opened the real-scene simulation first.
[Simulation in progress]
"Come in and sit down and talk." Ruan Xingrang opened the door and invited the third floor owner of Wanbao Tower to come in.
She didn't have any spiritual tea to entertain guests in her yard, but this was originally the territory of Wanbao Tower, and it was not her responsibility that there was no spiritual tea. The third floor owner didn't care, and the two of them sat down at the stone table in the yard.
The third floor owner asked: "Why do you want it?"
"Because I want to make money." Ruan Xing said as a matter of course, "I am a fifth-level alchemist. The longevity pill is the most expensive of the fifth-level pills. I need spirit stones, so of course I want to refine the one with the best cost-effectiveness."
"Since you can reach the fifth level, your talent in alchemy must be far superior to others, and you must have your own unique understanding of the properties of medicines." The third floor owner touched the folding fan and said with a smile: "Everything in the world can be used as medicine because it has its own effect. For example, the elixirs commonly used by cultivators for cultivation, even if the raw materials are directly boiled into soup and drunk, can obtain rich spiritual energy for cultivation, but it is more difficult to refine and loses some spiritual energy. The ability of an alchemist is to maximize the effects of all effective medicines through more perfect methods and proportions. What kind of raw materials do you think can extend the life of a cultivator?"
Ruan Xing was silent for a while.
Her alchemy skills were improved by the simulator. She knew how to make the medicine and was very skilled. When she saw a medicine, she knew its effect and how to mix it. But it was just like the Chinese education she received in her previous life.
When I see a question that is extremely difficult, the first thing that comes to my mind is not how to understand it, but how to answer it correctly.
As long as the question is answered correctly, it doesn’t matter how the process is.
Ruan Xing’s alchemy skills are at this stage now.
She regarded alchemy as a means to make money, so naturally she would not delve into it or think about it.
It’s enough to make money and recharge points. What’s the principle? Is it important?
But now, after listening to the words of the third floor owner, she was indeed a little confused.
The life span of a cultivator is determined by heaven. A cultivator in the foundation-building stage only has two hundred years of life. He can die early, but he will never live one year longer.
When the time comes, even if you are healthy, safe, healthy, and pain-free, your soul will pass away when you close your eyes.
What kind of rare treasure can exceed the lifespan set by heaven?
She had never heard of it in her short career of cultivating immortals.
Seeing that Ruan Xing was confused, the third floor master waited for a moment. He did not doubt that Ruan Xing's alchemy skills were obtained in an illegal way. He just felt that the young righteous cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation had been deceived for too long.
The third floor owner sighed and continued, "We don't have the recipe for the longevity pill. All the longevity pills are shipped from the northern border."
"The longevity elixir was made by a demon cultivator? And Wanbao Tower has a cooperative relationship with the demon cultivator?" Ruan Xing widened his eyes in surprise.
"Are you shocked? Then if I tell you that thousands of years ago, the demon cultivators and the immortal cultivators coexisted peacefully on the Xianyuan Continent, would you be even more shocked?" The third floor master said with a smile.
She wasn't shocked by this.
After all, I had seen it in the memory of the Sumeru tree a long time ago.
There are also fairies and demons as evidence.
Before the Xiantai War, although there were frictions between the immortals and the demons, they did coexist in every state of the Xianyuan Continent.
What she didn't expect was that after thousands of years, the traces of the demon cultivators had not been truly wiped out from other states.
Instead, they moved to a more covert underground method.
Maybe... other sects or forces will also have more or less established connections with the demon cultivators and have never broken off.
It’s just that these things will not be put on the surface.
"If you really want to get the formula of the longevity pill, I can take you to the northern border to have a look." The third floor owner said meaningfully: "But you can only watch, you can't do anything. After all, you signed a contract and are now the alchemist of my Wanbao Tower."
Do you want to go and see it?
Ruan Xing lowered his head in thought.
This might be the closest thing to a life-extending elixir, and since it’s still a simulation, there’s nothing to worry about.
only……
Judging from the tone of the Third Floor Master, it seems that the longevity elixir made by the alchemist in the Northern Territory is not a simple one.
She nodded, "Okay, I'll go."
The third floor owner stared at her quietly for a few seconds, "I hope you won't regret it."
