My cultivation is too simple

Chapter 143: Third-level low-grade, ready to form pills

The materials for lightning beads are not difficult to find, but it is quite difficult to refine them, and there are certain dangers.

It mainly uses various materials to condense together, and then condenses the power of thunder and lightning from those materials, and then controls the power of thunder and lightning within it through some prohibitions and runes.

Thunder and lightning are a very unstable force and must be controlled and stabilized with restrictions and runes. Otherwise, the power of thunder and lightning may pour out at any time.

This is also the difficulty in refining thunder beads.

The main reason is that the power of thunder in the thunder bead is very difficult to control. Once it is not controlled well, it is not as simple as refining failure.

It is very likely to cause harm to yourself.

The uncontrollable power of thunder and lightning is difficult for monks of the same level to resist.

For example, Zhou You is currently refining the second-level low-grade thunder bead.

If a monk in the early stage of foundation building comes to refine it, if it fails and the protection is not appropriate, he is likely to be seriously injured.

If a monk in the early stage of foundation building tries to refine a second-level mid-grade thunder bead, he may even blow himself up.

This is also the reason why Liu Hongni rarely has second-level high-quality items in his hands.

Her cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building, so refining the second-level high-grade thunder beads is very risky.

Once the refining fails and the protection is not proper, you may blow yourself up.

Even though she is a thunder spirit root, she can only slightly reduce this risk and slightly increase the success rate of refining.

Zhou You raised his hand and began to refine the second-level low-grade thunder beads.

Refining thunder beads is not an ordinary weapon refining. Instead, it requires certain formation abilities and talisman making methods. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control restrictions and runes on it.

And there is no need for a refining furnace.

Otherwise, no matter how good the weapon refining furnace is, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of this thunder bead.

As each material was thrown in by Zhou You, after those materials melted, Zhou You could clearly see that arcs began to travel within the materials.

Those arcs were relatively stable at the beginning and relatively small in number.

But as those materials began to fuse, the arc began to become unstable.

The sounds of "Zizzizi" came and went.

Arcs of electricity suddenly appeared all around, and some arcs fell on Zhou You's body, irritating Zhou You's skin and causing waves of paralysis.

Zhou You began to make secrets with his hands, and restrictions fell into the materials.

Afterwards, Zhou You began to control the melted materials and condense them into a round shape.

Zhou You's prohibition skills are already quite high, and it is relatively easy to hit one after another.

But as time went by, Zhou You found that the thunder and lightning began to become restless, flashing and swimming inside the bead embryo.

Zhou You frowned and hit the ban faster.

But after more than ten breaths, the power of those thunder and lightning became extremely chaotic. Finally, those restrictions could no longer stabilize the thunder and lightning. There was a loud "bang" and the thunder beads exploded on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhou You was well prepared. With a wave of his hand, a cyan mana shield appeared, blocking the chaotic power of thunder and lightning.

Zhou You's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. Even if he only casts a mana shield, the second-level low-grade thunder beads cannot destroy his shield.

Zhou You frowned and looked at the mess, and began to think carefully.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou You took out the experience jade slip given by Liu Hongni and began to look at it carefully.

Based on the refining experience recorded on the jade slips, you can analyze the reasons for your failure, and if you think about it carefully, you can get more benefits.

……

A few days later, Zhou You studied the entire jade slip thoroughly before continuing to refine it.

Finally, half an hour later, the first thunder bead was refined by Zhou You.

After absorbing all the refining experience, Zhou You, a monk in the late stage of foundation building, combined with his spiritual consciousness in the early stage of pill formation to refine this second-level low-grade thunder bead, the success rate is quite high.

However, Golden Seal does not contain thunder beads.

It seems that more refining is needed.

As a result, Zhou Youping added another task to refine thunder beads.

Finally, when Zhou You successfully refined the tenth second-grade low-grade thunder bead, the golden seal included the [Thunder Bead].

[Thunder Beads: A relatively special hidden attack weapon, you can succeed by constantly refining the Thunder Beads. 】

The golden light flickered, and Zhou You could clearly see Jin Yin's evaluation of the thunder bead.

Obviously, to refine the thunder bead, you only need to keep refining the thunder bead to complete it.

What is certain now is that it takes ten to refine the second-order low-grade thunder beads to increase the progress by 1 point, but we don’t know how many second-order medium-grade thunder beads are needed to increase the progress by 1 point.

Zhou You decided to use up all the second-level low-grade materials first.

"The success rate of refining a second-grade low-grade thunder bead is about 50%. A thunder bead costs nine hundred spirit stones. That is to say, one thousand eight hundred spirit stones can be used to obtain one thunder bead. If sold, it costs two thousand spirit stones. It’s about a stone, and it’s estimated that few people would buy two thousand spirit stones.”

Zhou You analyzed it secretly and finally came to the conclusion that a second-level low-grade thunder bead could only earn about a hundred spiritual stones at most.

But that's okay, traveling around refining thunder beads is not just for making money.

It would be good if you can guarantee that you won't lose money, and you can always have the materials to refine the lightning beads, and steadily improve the progress of the [Thunder Beads].

Zhou You's ultimate goal is to refine a third-order low-grade thunder bead, and if possible, even a third-order mid-grade thunder bead.

"My success rate in refining the second-level mid-level thunder bead is not low. It is probably because the level is not high, my cultivation level is relatively high, and the experience jade slip given by Liu Hongni .”

Zhou You secretly analyzed, and after refining the remaining nine materials into thunder beads, and successfully made five of them, Zhou You came to lead Taixuanfang City again.

After Li Ruoxu saw Zhou You, he said very curiously: "Brother Huang, why did you buy so many thunder-attribute materials? Could it be that you want to refine some thunder-type spiritual weapon?"

Zhou You smiled and said: "Deploy a thunder formation. There has been a lot of noise recently. The Zhengqi Alliance doesn't know when they will attack Taixuanmen, so we must prepare more life-saving means."

Li Ruoxu shook his head helplessly: "I have said before that as long as you become a guest of Xuanbaozhai, Taixuanmen will naturally protect you."

Zhou You smiled and shook his head: "You should also know my character."

Li Ruoxu didn't say anything more and went to get materials for Zhou You.

Zhou You looked at Li Ruoxu's back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Become a guest of Xuanbaozhai and be protected by Taixuanmen?

If these words were told to ordinary foundation-building monks, it might have some effect.

But what is the situation now? Taibai Academy is besieged by the Zhengqi Alliance on Cangshan Mountain and cannot get down at all. Taixuanmen is not as strong as Taibai Academy. If the Zhengqi Alliance turns around and besieges Taixuanmen, it will be a matter of time before Taixuanmen falls.

Therefore, Taixuanmen may not be safe.

Furthermore, Zhou You was planning to leave Lincheng.

"However, before leaving Lincheng, we should tell them the Zhengqi Alliance's plan."

Zhou You said secretly.

I don't have many traveling friends, only Li Ruoxu, Huo Qi and five others.

In addition, there is only Jiang Yuyao from Taibai Academy.

Of course, although Zhang Lei and Lin Feng were not Zhou You's friends, Zhou You was quite grateful to them and could tell them all the news he knew before leaving.

Soon Li Ruoxu brought two storage bags and handed them to Zhou You.

"Brother Huang, these are the materials you want. These are the monsters that Senior Brother Wang and others promised to give you. The wars have become more frequent in recent days. They come back less frequently and in a hurry. Every time they come to put the monsters down and leave. .”

Li Ruoxu sighed.

Zhou You held the storage bag and nodded, then left some talismans and said: "Transfer these talismans to Brother Wang and Brother Huo for me. If there is any big event in the Zhengqi Alliance, please send a message to me as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Li Ruoxu put away the talismans and sent Zhou You away.

After Zhou You left Xuanbaozhai, he returned to his cave and continued to practice.

Nowadays, Zhou You's cultivation direction focuses on the physical realm.

His body-refining realm has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, and he has acquired many spiritual skills. He can practice "Lingxu Finger" and "Kuixing Kick Fight" every day while practicing "Mingwang Jue".

When these spiritual techniques are perfected, the traveling physical body will also be strengthened.

It can save a lot of practice time.

You can break through the physical realm as quickly as possible to reach the early stage of elixir formation and condense the golden body.

After the body reaches the realm of forming pills, Zhou You's strength will naturally improve by leaps and bounds.

"It's a pity that several spiritual arts recorded in "The Art of the Ming King" need to be condensed into a golden body before they can be practiced. Otherwise, practicing those spiritual arts will greatly improve my strength."

Zhou You sighed secretly.

Condensing the golden body is equivalent to advancing the physical body to the early stage of elixir formation.

Zhou You is still a long way from the early stage of pill formation.

However, as long as you travel around and practice, you will definitely reach that state.

In addition to daily practice, Zhou You spends the rest of his time refining thunder beads.

Last time I went to Xuanbaozhai, Zhou You bought more than a hundred materials, most of which were second-level mid-grade.

Because Zhou You discovered that refining the second-level mid-grade can improve efficiency, Zhou You naturally started refining the second-level mid-grade lightning beads.

……

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

After completing the daily practice tour, he opened his eyes.

At this moment, the golden seal was filled with light, and a line of text appeared on it.

[Ming Wang Jue: The ancient Buddhist technique, if you practice it every day, you can achieve it in a hundred years. 】

Looking at the information in the golden seal, Zhou You couldn't help but be shocked.

No wonder it is said that it is difficult to form elixirs and even more difficult to refine the body.

If you want to practice this "Mingwang Jue" to a perfect state, it will take a hundred years to succeed!

Only 1 point of progress can be added per year.

Even if there is a gold seal, if there is no gold seal, it would probably take three to four hundred years for an ordinary person to practice the "Ming King Jue" to perfection.

However, Zhou You thought about it carefully and found it reasonable.

The lifespan of a monk in the pill formation stage is about five hundred years. Body training itself is extremely difficult, especially the extremely powerful skills of the ancient Buddhist sect, which are even more difficult to practice.

It takes three hundred years to go from the foundation-building Dzogchen to the elixir-forming Dzogchen, which is actually a relatively normal cultivation speed.

There are even many people who are still unable to practice to the perfection of elixir formation.

But now if you use the golden seal, it only takes a hundred years to practice to the perfection of elixir formation, which can be said to have greatly shortened the speed of practice.

Moreover, you can still achieve something by traveling around. As long as you practice, you will definitely reach the perfection of elixir formation in a hundred years.

The most important thing is that this is the time required to practice with the Golden Seal alone.

It does not include taking medicinal baths, eating monster meat and swallowing pills every day.

According to what is said on the golden seal, it can be accomplished in a hundred years, which means that the progress will be increased by 1 point per year.

But in fact, it only took half a year for Zhou You to obtain the "Ming King Jue". With the support from all aspects, especially the Huiling Formation, Zhou You could increase his skills by 1 point in just half a year.

Judging from the 10-point progress of condensing elixirs and condensing a golden body, Zhou You only needs five years to successfully condensate a golden body and a physical elixir!

"It shouldn't take more than five years. After all, my practice of spiritual arts can also strengthen my body. If I practice spiritual arts every day, I should be able to advance the time of forming the pill."

Zhou You analyzed secretly, his eyes a little fiery.

After practicing for more than ten years, Zhou You is finally close to reaching the realm of pill formation!

Even though it’s just physical elixir formation, it’s still elixir formation!

In addition, Zhou You's "Yi Mu Ling Jue" progress has reached 72 points, and he is still 28 points away from reaching the foundation building perfection, which will be completed in less than two years.

"Tai Xuan Sect is becoming increasingly unstable."

Zhou You sighed and left the training room.

In the past six months, Li Ruoxu has sent a transmission note to Zhou You almost every half month.

The reason why they are so frequent is because the Zhengqi Alliance has begun to prepare to attack Taixuan Sect.

It is said that the Zhengqi Alliance has sent Danjie monks into the Taixuanmen area to conduct some spying.

Many casual cultivators within Tai Xuan Sect were attacked by these Righteous Alliance monks, and even many monks in Tai Xuan Sect died at the hands of those Righteous Alliance monks.

The biggest thing among them was that Wang Feng met an elder from the Zhengqi Alliance.

If Wang Feng hadn't already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, had wind spirit roots, and was good at escape techniques, I'm afraid Wang Feng would have been killed by the elder who formed the core.

But even so, Wang Feng was seriously injured.

For this reason, Taixuanmen was furious and sent several Danjie elders to search within Taixuanmen's sphere of influence, but in the end they found nothing, and no trace of the Zhengqi Alliance elder was found.

As a result, although the Zhengqi Alliance has not yet formally attacked Taixuanmen, the territory of Taixuanmen is already in turmoil and everyone is in danger.

There are even many casual cultivators who have fled Taixuan Sect.

This shows how serious the situation is now.

During this period, Li Ruoxu handed Zhou You a jade slip. If he met an alchemy monk from the Zhengqi Alliance, he could crush the jade slip. At that time, the alchemy elders from Taixuan Sect would come to rescue him.

It’s not that the Taixuan Sect has good intentions, but that they hate the Zhengqi Alliance very much now, and they also want to kill a Zhengqi Alliance pill-forming monk to establish their authority, so that the people of the Zhengqi Alliance know that their Taixuan Sect is not left to chance. Slaughtered.

But I don’t have much to worry about when traveling around.

First of all, his formation is enough to withstand the monks in the middle stage of forming pills.

Secondly, this cave is not far from Taixuanmen. Unless the alchemy monks of the Righteous Alliance are crazy, it is unlikely that they will travel around this place.

After Zhou You left the training room, he came to the weapon refining room.

"The Thunder Bead is about to be completed, so hurry up."

Zhou You sat down in the refining room, took out the materials, and started refining the thunder beads.

He wanted to perfect the [Thunder Beads] as soon as possible, and then start refining the third level Thunder Beads to strengthen his own abilities.

Two hours later, after Zhou You refined two second-level top-quality thunder beads, the golden light in Zhou You's sea of ​​consciousness flickered again.

[Thunder Beads: A relatively special hidden attack weapon, you can succeed by constantly refining the Thunder Beads. 】

After the [Thunder Bead] was completed, Zhou You clearly felt that his consciousness had become much stronger again.

Now it has reached two hundred and sixty miles.

There is still a long distance between the four hundred miles in the middle stage of pill formation.

Zhou You is not in a hurry about this. He only practices spells and refining alchemy and making relatively few talismans now. After the physical elixir is formed, he will practice these again, and his spiritual consciousness will be improved quickly.

"The thunder bead has finally been completed. Now I can refine the second-order low-grade thunder bead at my fingertips, with a success rate of 99%. The success rate of the second-order mid-grade is about 90%. The success rate of the second-order high-grade is 70%. The success rate of the second-grade top grade is 90%. It’s only 50%. I wonder what the success rate of the third-level lightning bead is?”

Zhou You said secretly.

Zhou You has never refined the third-level thunder bead, so he doesn't know what the success rate of the third-level thunder bead is.

However, he had already prepared the materials for refining the third-level thunder beads.

Ten servings in total.

Zhou You took out a piece of material and started refining it.

The refining of the third-level thunder bead is quite different from that of the second-level one, but there are only slight differences. The refining method is the same, but the refining results are different.

The materials used for all third-level thunder beads are the same.

Then, based on the refining quality, it is decided whether the finished product is low-grade or medium-grade.

If the quality is good and all processes are perfect, it may be middle grade or even third-level top grade.

After half an hour.

Zhou You sighed and used the Four Spirit Formation to block the explosive attack of the thunder bead.

"Failed."

After the commotion in the refining room of the generals around the capital subsided, they began to continue refining.

After three attempts, he finally refined a thunder bead for the fourth time!

The success rate of about 30% is still within the range that Zhou You can bear.

"Third-level low-grade."

Zhou You took the thunder bead and took a closer look, noticing the terrifying power of thunder inside it.

This is a terrifying weapon that can destroy the early stage of pill formation!

And with Zhou You's characteristic of "no false starts", this thunder bead is sure to hit.

In other words, as long as the opponent does not have any protective measures against the heavens, Zhou You's lightning-drawing bead could be the life of a monk in the early stages of forming a pill!

A real killer!

Zhou You took a deep breath, put away the thunder beads, and continued refining.

Soon, all ten materials were used up, and a total of three third-level low-grade thunder beads were refined.

In other words, the success rate is about 30%.

Zhou You was very satisfied with this result. After putting away all the lightning beads, Zhou You did not buy any more materials.

The materials for level three thunder beads are quite expensive.

The material for one piece requires about spirit stones.

Now you can have three lightning beads to save your life, which is enough.

The rest of his spirit stones were used to purchase materials for refining the three-disaster killing sword.
