Chapter 782: The Chaste Palace Master Is Unworthy of His Position (4k, Please Subscribe)
"The first furnace failed."
Half a month later, when Wei Tu saw the "Wulian Pill" that failed to be refined in the alchemy furnace, his face was calm, neither happy nor sad, but he just frowned slightly.
Although the difficulty of refining "Wulian Pill" and "Ying-boosting Pill" is similar... but there is a difference of half a grade. The former is a real fifth-grade lower-grade elixir, and this difference is a natural chasm that many alchemists cannot cross in their lifetime.
Therefore, although the first furnace failed, the loss was still within his tolerance.
At least, there were no major mistakes in the refining process.
The temperature of the pill was slightly worse.
And this can be changed and supplemented.
However, Wei Tu did not throw away this furnace of "Wulian Pill". After testing that the pill was not too toxic by the method of tasting pills, he summoned the Sky-breaking Eagle and put the pill into the belly of the Sky-breaking Eagle, letting the Sky-breaking Eagle slowly refine it beside him.
After all, the main ingredient for refining the "Wulian Pill" is the five-color treasure lotus. Even if it is a waste pill, it still contains a lot of medicinal properties of the five-color treasure lotus, and it is still a tonic.
Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that the Sky-Splitting Eagle chose the route of bloodline return to the ancestors.
Compared with the monsters of the transformation route, the physique of the monster beasts with bloodline return to the ancestors is extremely strong. Some monster beasts with good talents are even comparable to the same level of body refiners. Therefore, even if this "Wulian Pill" waste pill is slightly toxic, it can still be tolerated by the physique of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, and the problem is not big.
In addition.
For the Sky-Splitting Eagle, a spiritual pet with a low upper limit, his current mentality is basically "try everything possible".
The possibility of this eagle breaking through the fifth level is very small. Only by borrowing the purple-green tree branches and depriving the blood of the Luqiu clan, the [Red Spirit Wing] magical power awakened after depriving him of the bloodline of the Luqiu clan, can be of great use to him.
However, it is foreseeable that after he breaks through the middle and late stages of the Spiritualization, the auxiliary role of this eagle [Red Spirit Wing] will inevitably be greatly reduced.
"Unless this eagle ascends to the spiritual world with me, there may be a possibility of turning from a carp into a dragon and breaking through the upper limit of talent..."
Wei Tu touched the head of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, and did not have much hope that the Sky-Splitting Eagle would ascend to the spiritual world with him.
It is difficult to carry too many spiritual objects when ascending to the spiritual world, whether through the proper ascension channel - the Ascension Well, or through the space cracks of the God-Slaying Ridge.
Not to mention bringing a spiritual pet.
There is no other reason. The spatial pressure between the two worlds' spatial channels is enough to crush any storage artifact. Ascending monks often do their best to protect themselves, so how can they have the spare energy to protect other monks and spiritual pets.
In other words, unless the body of the Sky-Splitting Eagle is as strong as the spiritual treasure on his body, the only outcome of ascending with the Sky-Splitting Eagle is that he will be crushed into dust by the pressure of space.
This is also the reason why Jiang Lingzi left his treasures in the cave in the far north when he ascended nine hundred years ago, and did not take them with him.
It is not that Jiang Lingzi, as a senior in the human world, has such noble character that he wants to leave an opportunity for future generations, but that even if those treasures are taken away by force, they will be destroyed.
Therefore, for the future arrangement of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, Wei Tu is more inclined to leave the Eagle in the lower world as the guardian spirit beast of the Wei family.
However, during this period, if the Eagle breaks through by chance, he will not abandon this old friend lightly and leave this fighting force unused.
"Cry!" The Sky-Splitting Eagle did not know Wei Tu's thoughts. After swallowing the waste pill of the "Five Lotus Pill", it happily flapped its wings and flew to the corner of the pill room, silently refining the spiritual pill.
…
After digesting the failed experience of refining the first batch of "Wulian Dan".
It took more than a month.
Wei Tu continued to refine the elixir.
He only had two "Five-Colored Treasure Lotuses" left in his hand, and he could not afford to fail again.
Fortunately, he was lucky. After carefully refining the elixir and learning from the first failure, he successfully refined the second batch of "Wulian Dan".
——Two pills were produced.
The third batch still produced two pills, and he did not perform exceptionally because of the improvement of experience.
Next, he began to refine the fifth-level elixir based on other fifth-level spiritual medicines.
The most difficult elixir is called "Huangshen Dan". This elixir is a fifth-level middle-grade elixir, and he believes that it is the most important elixir for him to break through the middle stage of the spirit transformation.
Not bad! While "Yi Chi Tian Ying" laid a solid foundation for him, it also allowed him to break through the realm. The spiritual power required is far beyond his peers, and the number of elixirs required is more.
In a sense, this is an increase in the difficulty of his breakthrough, but in the long run, this is only limited by resources, and the speed of breakthrough is slowed down, not by his own foundation.
As long as the resources are sufficient, he will break through from the early stage of the transformation of the spirit to the late stage of the transformation of the spirit, and it will be smooth sailing, and he will not be like Han Yue Zun, Qi Yaoxian and others, who have to endure for thousands of years before they can see a glimpse of a breakthrough opportunity.
——For example, the Ji Le Shen Hou who was killed by him, with the cultivation of Ji Le Shen Hou, there is no need to refine these fifth-level spiritual medicines in his hands into pills. He can try to break through the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit with the spiritual power of these spiritual medicines.
However, the reason why he was still in the early stage of the transformation of the spirit until the battle of Ye Jing Valley was the limitation of his foundation.
It is difficult to see the opportunity for a breakthrough!
But for cultivators like Wei Tu with a foundation of one foot Tianying, there is no such worry. What shackles them is only resources. As long as the resources are sufficient, they can look forward to ascending to the spiritual world in a few hundred years.
…
When Wei Tu was practicing the spiritual pill.
The Jianhuo Palace's once-in-a-century "Tianquan Competition" is also quietly approaching.
Lou Mingyue deliberately talked to Wei Tu, and Wei Tu further promised and even sympathized with her, which became her support to eradicate the chaos and rule the Sword and Fire Palace.
But unfortunately, Wei Tu, who was locked in the alchemy room, directly ignored her, an undefended beauty, and was like an ascetic monk, unable to escape.
Except for the day when she met Wei Tu, she didn't even see Wei Tu in the rest of the days.
"If this were not the case, why did Senior Wen achieve the breakthrough of becoming a god at such a short age, so he would be valued by the descendants of the spirit."
Lou Mingyue was disappointed in her heart, but she did not complain. Instead, she began to admire Wei Tu's perseverance in spiritual practice and his noble character of "not being a womanizer."
At this moment, she gradually let go of the unrealistic greed in her mind and buried it deeply in her heart.
There are only five days left before the Tianquan Competition.
As Lou Mingyue's reinforcements, Gong Shulan arrived late.
"Mingyue, I heard a recent secret rumor from the Sword and Fire Palace that you used your beauty to seduce the Quasi-Transformed God to help you with your fists, and raised this person in your boudoir... I wonder if this is true?"
When she met Lou Mingyue for the first time, Gong Shulan, who was cautious by nature, did not first ask who the strong opponents in the "Tianquan Competition" were, but instead asked about this secret with a flash of eyes and a smile.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle.
As a collaborator, she could hardly allow Lou Mingyue to hide this matter from her. Otherwise, she would rather break the contract than go to the "Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den" of Sword and Fire Palace.
Secondly, this matter is also a "pimple" in Gong Shulan's heart - while Lou Mingyue used the name of Wei Tu to resist foreign invading enemies, he also used himself as Wei Tu's "private property" in disguise, packing it up and giving it to The map of Wei. If this woman is really shameless and hooks up with other male cultivators, she is deeply owed by Wei Tu and will never let this happen lightly.
Compared to this, Lou Mingyue, a mere "best friend", is nothing.
She and Wei Tu have been friends for thousands of years.
"Keep him in the boudoir?" After hearing this, Lou Mingyue felt shy in her heart, and frost gradually appeared on her face. She never expected that her reputation had become so bad.
It can be seen that in order to depose her as the palace lord and divide the inheritance of the Lion King upstairs in her hands, these elders and worshipers in the door have done everything they can.
"This person's surname is Wei Mingfei. He has some relationship with me in my early years. He is a close elder of mine. There is... no unclean relationship between me and him."
Lou Mingyue didn't know what Gong Shulan was thinking. She just thought that her friend was caring about her and advised her not to surrender. After all, a quasi-god alone was not worthy of her being so wronged.
While speaking, she also rolled up her narrow sleeves, revealing the grain of palace sand on her jade arm, proving that she was still a virgin and Yunying was unmarried.
"Even so, you still need to cherish your reputation. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Senior Wen who protects you."
Seeing Lou Mingyue proving her innocence, the cold light hidden in Gong Shulan's eyes disappeared, she smiled slightly and advised.
But as soon as the words came out, she reacted instantly. She raised her eyebrows slightly and smacked the word "Wei Fei" a few times secretly. She gradually got the idea in her mind and understood why Lou Mingyue would do it regardless of the damage to her reputation. Welcoming Wei Tu into his boudoir.
"If it were Lord Wei Fei and Wei, this girl, Lou Mingyue, would have slept on the side of the bed long ago." Gong Shulan couldn't help but curse in her heart as she thought of old things.
She had seen in Danqiu Mountain how Wei Fei, Wei Tu's sworn brother, wasted his precious cultivation time, wasting his time and stopped building the foundation.
"But why did Fellow Daoist Wei come to Sword and Fire Palace, hide his identity, and live in seclusion in Lou Mingyue's cave?"
Gong Shulan was curious. After all, with Wei Tu's current strength, the Great Yan Cultivation Realm could let him go freely, and it was unlikely that he would be trapped in a corner.
It was just that she couldn't express these thoughts out loud, and she discussed it with Lou Mingyue, saying that she would meet "Wei Fei" when she had time, and then ended the topic.
It was naturally impossible for Lou Mingyue to tell Gong Shulan that Wei Tu had been refining alchemy in seclusion. Although she knew that Gong Shulan and Wei Tu were good friends, she did not know the depth of their relationship.
Moreover, she naturally felt repulsed by Wei Tu's contact with such a beautiful woman as Gong Shulan.
but--
What the two girls didn't know was that when they met, Wei Tu, who was far away in Lou Mingyue Cave, had sensed the two of them from a distance with his huge spiritual consciousness.
However, the mere "Tianquan Competition" is not worth his troubles. Going out to help and paying more attention to it with his spiritual consciousness is already the importance he attaches to Lou Mingyue and Gong Shulan.
…
Five days later.
On the Tianquan Peak of the Sword and Fire Palace, a group of Yuanying elders and ministers from the Sword and Fire Palace were seated one after another, gathering on both sides of the fighting platform filled with restrictions and formations.
As the palace master, Lou Mingyue was the last to arrive, but the atmosphere around her was not one of awe, but implicit contempt, and the mockery of all eyes on her exquisite body.
"Mingyue, why don't you see that Wei Zongfeng? Isn't he going to participate in this Tianquan competition?"
When Lou Mingyue sat down, an old man in yellow clothes with a cane and dark skin beside him snorted coldly and asked about Wei Tu's whereabouts.
A few years ago, when Wei Tu first entered the Sword and Fire Palace, he used his spiritual consciousness to spy on Wei Tu and was killed by Wei Tu. Therefore, he developed a lot of grudges with Wei Tu.
Although his realm is not as good as that of Wei Tu, he is still in the late Nascent Soul stage. As the fourth elder in the sect, relying on the momentum of the "God Transformation Sect" of Sword and Fire Palace, he is not afraid of a mere "quasi-god transformation" monk from Wei Tu.
"Fourth Elder, Wei Gongsheng has other important matters to attend to. He is absent now. It is really helpless."
Lou Mingyue smiled slightly, not angry. She did not continue to follow the words of the old man in yellow and delve into whether Wei Tu would appear.
In her heart, she regarded Wei Tu as the backup person for this Tianquan Competition. He would not give up his martial arts.
"In my opinion, it is this Wei Gongsheng who is lazy in bed. He plays with the Palace Master all day and neglects his work."
Soon, after the fourth elder, another cultivator on the stage launched a verbal attack on Lou Mingyue.
Although these words did not directly humiliate Lou Mingyue and Wei Tu on the surface, the implicit sarcasm here can be understood by any cultivator who has heard the rumor that Lou Mingyue "serves people with beauty".
However, facing these cultivators, Lou Mingyue would not show the toad sand on her jade arm to these cultivators as she did to Gong Shulan to prove her innocence.
This is undoubtedly showing weakness to the enemy.
Secondly, she invited Wei Tu to live in her cave, which was also a way to confuse people with her reputation and cover up Wei Tu's seclusion and cultivation.
Once she proved her innocence, how could she explain Wei Tu's sudden move into her cave?
Fortunately, as the granddaughter of King Lou Shi and the only designated successor, Lou Mingyue was not alone in Jianhuo Palace.
After hearing the slander against Lou Mingyue, other Yuanying elders soon took the initiative to help Lou Mingyue resolve the crisis.
The most serious words came from the great elder of Jianhuo Palace who was sitting next to Lou Mingyue. His eyes were cold and his words were sharp.
He said bluntly:
"Now my Jianhuo Palace is not destroyed, all thanks to the palace master asking for help from Senior Wen and Master Lan. Are you attacking the palace master to make enemies with Senior Wen and Master Lan?"
As the words fell.
The cultivators looked at each other and kept silent.
They coveted Lou Mingyue's position as the Palace Master and the legacy left by Lou Shiwang, but they were also very afraid of Lou Mingyue's status outside the palace, especially the "closeness" of the two great gods to Lou Mingyue.
Without Wei Tu and Master Lan's protection of Jianhuo Palace, Jianhuo Palace would have collapsed and disappeared in history like Yanhuang Sect and Xianling Dao.
There would be no chance for internal fighting today.
"It is true that Mingyue has the help of the gods, and it is true that they have protected the foundation of our sect, but this old merit is not enough to support Mingyue to sit firmly on the position of Palace Master. At this time, there must be a person of high moral character to control our sect, so that we can revive our sect's great cause."
The fourth elder spoke sinisterly.
The implication is that Lou Mingyue's virtues and merits match the position, but his strength is not enough, so he can only help Jianhuo Palace to protect itself, and cannot further expand the foundation. (End of this chapter)
