Chapter 82 Interest
If Zhao Ruyi is given a little more time, he might be able to reach a higher level and become a fifth-level alchemist.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Unlike his alchemy talent, which is like cheating, Zhao Ruyi's cultivation talent can only be described as ordinary, just a four-spirit root.
Although it is not the lowest level of five spiritual roots, its condition is not much better.
Zhao Ruyi was more willing to spend time on refining elixirs than practicing at a slow tortoise-like speed.
Until his cultivation is not enough to support alchemy, he will set aside some time for cultivation.
Even, in order to save training time, he also developed elixirs specifically for this purpose to assist in training.
In this way, Zhao Ruyi successfully cultivated all the way to the peak of the golden elixir.
Then, he got stuck at the bottleneck of Nascent Soul.
No advance.
How huge is the bottleneck from Golden Elixir to Nascent Soul?
You must know that all monks who can cultivate to the golden elixir realm are one in a million, and they have no shortage of talents, talents, and resources.
But even so, in the huge Qingyang Sect, there are still more than ten golden elixirs, but there is still only one Nascent Soul, the Supreme Elder.
What is holding these Jindan monks back?
The answer is, the secret of life and death.
The golden elixir is shattered and the Nascent Soul emerges.
If it is not broken, it will not be established, if it is not dead, it will not be alive.
If you want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the most important thing is to understand the true meaning of living toward death, break through and then stand up, break through the mystery of life and death, and enjoy the road to immortality.
Since Zhao Ruyi started practicing, he has been obsessed with alchemy and has never had a life or death duel.
Even after he showed his talent for alchemy, any danger as big as a sesame seed would be nipped in the bud, let alone a crisis that could threaten his life.
In this way, how could Zhao Ruyi break through the barrier of life and death?
But it was unrealistic to ask the Qingyang Sect to give up its protection of Zhao Ruyi. In addition, Zhao Ruyi's own personality was also afraid of death and pain, so the matter was left undisturbed.
Unable to make any progress in his cultivation, Zhao Ruyi turned his attention back to alchemy.
However, there is another huge qualitative change from a fourth-level alchemist to a fifth-level alchemist.
Its difficulty is no less than that of Nascent Soul breaking through to becoming a god.
Even with Zhao Ruyi's outstanding talent, if he wants to cross this gap, he will need to study for at least another five hundred years.
At that time, Zhao Ruyi only had more than 300 years left in his life.
With some life-extending elixirs and other means, life can be extended for another hundred years or so.
But this is already the limit.
Extending life is an act that defies heaven. When a monk reaches the golden elixir realm, conventional life extension techniques can no longer work.
The reason why he was able to extend his life by an extra hundred years was because Zhao Ruyi had perfected his alchemy skills and developed many new life-extending elixirs.
With no further hope in alchemy or cultivation, Zhao Ruyi began to look for a successor.
It would be a pity to take your alchemy skills to the grave like this.
At first, Zhao Ruyi wanted to find an apprentice who was as talented as him in alchemy, and he was extremely picky.
After all, if the apprentice who has inherited his alchemy skills can break through to a fifth-level alchemist in the future, rounding off, it is equivalent to his own breakthrough.
In this way, I can still smile down there.
But as time went by, he discovered a very cruel fact.
Not to mention the disciples who can match him in terms of alchemy talent, even those who are slightly inferior to him can't be found at all.
If you still have this mentality, you may really take your skills to the grave.
Therefore, Zhao Ruyi could only lower the conditions appropriately, again and again.
In the end, there were only two requirements left:
1. You must have a certain talent for alchemy
. 2. You must have the spirituality to make alchemy
. However, even so, there are still very few people who meet the conditions.
Mainly stuck on the second requirement.
What is the spirituality of alchemy?
This is a rather mysterious word.
Zhao Ruyi himself couldn't find a more suitable sentence to describe it.
Therefore, he can only judge with his own eyes.
Since then, he has watched all the competitions in the Alchemy Hall, and he has never been absent from every entrance examination.
Until now, Zhao Ruyi has selected three spiritual disciples in total.
He tried to cultivate it.
The level of alchemy of the three disciples has increased rapidly, but the spirituality that Zhao Ruyi cares about most is rapidly losing.
After losing their spirituality, they made little progress in alchemy, almost no progress.
Zhao Ruyi was very puzzled. He didn't know whether this was a problem with his own educational ability, or whether the spirituality of the three disciples was not really spiritual.
However, the matter has come to this, and the spirituality of the three disciples cannot be restored.
Zhao Ruyi could only start looking for disciples again.
Only this time, he planned to change his training plan.
...
Zhao Ruyi continued to scan the situation in the examination room, focusing on the candidates' alchemy techniques.
"Mediocre, mediocre... mediocre to the extreme!"
He criticized one by one, and his mood dropped little by little.
'It seems that there are no spiritual people in this examination room...'
There were only a few candidates left. Zhao Ruyi sighed and planned to quickly pass by and go to the next examination room.
But at this moment, he noticed a very young-looking candidate.
"This... this is..."
Seeing the examinee skillfully using each technique to refine a batch of spirit-melting pills, Zhao Ruyi's eyes gradually widened, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.
One thing to say here is that in order to facilitate the scoring of candidates in this exam, all the alchemy furnaces used are custom-made alchemy furnaces provided by the Alchemy Hall.
The alchemy furnace itself has no bonuses, and the style is very ordinary, but the color is different from other alchemy furnaces.
This kind of alchemy furnace is transparent, and the alchemy process inside can be seen from the outside world at a glance.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Ruyi could easily see what kind of elixir the candidate was refining and the method he used in refining the elixir.
Having said that, the reason why Zhao Ruyi was so surprised was naturally not because of the candidate's skill in alchemy.
After all, it is just a common spirit-melting pill, so it is not surprising to have such proficiency.
What really surprised him was the method used by the candidate to refine the Spirit Fusion Pill.
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the technique recorded in the soul-enhancing elixir prescription...the thirty-ninth style...the fifty-sixth style..."
Zhao Ruyi became more and more frightened as he looked at it, and couldn't help but walk in. In the examination room, stand next to the examinee and watch carefully.
Luo Meihong who was next to her was overjoyed when she saw this. Instead of trying to stop him, she happily followed Zhao Ruyi in.
After Zhao Ruyi stood still, Luo Meihong couldn't help but take a closer look at the candidate in front of him who cared so much about him.
This is a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair and black eyes, and a handsome face.
At this moment, the young man was inputting spiritual power into the custom-made elixir furnace with a calm expression, and he was calmly using various dazzling techniques to refine the unformed elixir.
This kind of performance stood out among the nervous candidates and was extremely conspicuous.
"Huh? That's not right. Aren't the elixirs required for the exam all common first-level low-grade elixirs? Where can you use so many techniques?" Looking at it
, Luo Meihong also realized that something was wrong.
Although she is not an alchemist, she has been working in the alchemy hall for a long time and has learned more or less some relevant knowledge.
