Shen Xiang concentrated on growing his spiritual medicine, but only two days later, Wu Kaiming came to him and said that someone wanted to challenge him, but he refused.
"If these guys come to me again, tell them to defeat Yan Yanran from Xiao** Beast Martial Sect in Xiaoyao Xianhai first before coming to me. I can refine several furnaces of pills by fighting them. It's a waste of my time."
These were the words of Shen Xiang and Wu Kaiming. Ever since he came back from the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains, many people have come to challenge him, some to duel in martial arts, and some to compete in alchemy, but he turned a blind eye to them and focused on growing his spiritual medicines.
Not only did he need Chinese medicinal herbs, he also had to practice martial arts. After taking care of the elixirs during the day, he would start practicing Tai Chi Dragon Subduing Kung Fu to strengthen his true energy. At the same time, he would also practice the Nine Revolutions Dragon God Technique to cultivate the soul of the gods, and at night he had to condense golden ambergris.
Sometimes he also has to practice some martial arts or refine some foundation-building pills, so his schedule is fully scheduled.
"Little dragon, my soul is so big now, can I make the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Heavenly Dragon Seal stronger?" Shen Xiang asked. Last time, he witnessed Long Xueyi releasing the Heavenly Dragon Seal with his own eyes, and it was much stronger than his.
"The seventy-two transformations mainly involve the use of magic power. When your magic power reaches a certain level and you can use it skillfully, you can transform into bigger things. You should be able to transform into cats, dogs, pigs, fish and the like now. Transforming into a tiger or something like that is not enough. You can figure it out by yourself. Ask me if you don't understand." Long Xueyi said.
Thinking about having to practice transforming into a pig or a dog, Shen Xiang felt secretly unhappy.
"Little girl, you are kidding me!" Chen Xiang snorted: "What's the benefit of turning into a pig? Turning into a bird can fly, turning into a fish can hide in the water, turning into a mole can dig holes, what's the use of turning into a pig or a dog?"
Long Xueyi chuckled and said, "You are not stupid! You can peek at people bathing by turning into a bird, and you can also peek by turning into a fish by mixing in the water. Of course you think it's good."
"Silly girl, you said this. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that turning into a fish could be so useful." Shen Xiang scolded with a smile.
"I won't tease you anymore. The Seventy-Two Transformations are meant to be learned and applied flexibly. Once you master them, you can transform into anything! Not only small animals or something, but also chairs, tables, trees and other things. When your magic power reaches a certain level, I will teach you." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang is now practicing turning into a fish. Ever since he used his magic power to transform into an invisible alchemy furnace last time, his use of magic power has reached a deeper level. Now it is also very easy for him to learn to transform into other things. Soon he will be able to turn into a carp and swim in the water.
"Next time you go to Lotus Island, you can turn into a fish and dive into the seabed to look for crystal ore. Don't waste the Emperor Crystal." Su Meiyao said with a smile.
Shen Xiang had hardly used the Emperor Crystal after he got it. Thinking of the countless crystal mines in the sea area controlled by Lotus Island, he wanted to fly over to look for them. He only wanted the top-quality crystals and nothing else.
This period of time made Shen Xiang feel very fulfilled. Although he had a lot of pressure, he still lived a good life. During this month, he learned to transform into some other animals. Some of them were not very practical, but they made him familiar with the Seventy-Two Transformations.
"Five portions of medicinal materials! If successful, it will be fifty Five Elements True Essence Pills!" Shen Xiang was also a little surprised, because the growth rate of the medicinal materials for the Five Elements True Essence Pills was faster than he thought. Of course, this was also because his strength had increased, and the ripening speed of the golden ambergris had also become much faster.
In the secret room, Shen Xiang took out the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace! In the past month, he had refined the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Hundred Beasts Pill using the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace and the refining method.
Because the conditions when refining elixirs in the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace are different from those in the Magic Treasure Furnace, he has to familiarize himself with the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace again before he can perform accurate calculations. With the experience of using the Magic Treasure Furnace, he can now use the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace very easily.
The Magic Furnace is condensed by magic power and needs to be watched by the divine consciousness at all times, while the Flame Dragon Furnace requires nothing, so it can naturally make more complete use of the divine consciousness for calculations.
In order to lay a good foundation for the refining method in the future, Shen Xiang used the refining method no matter what kind of pill he was refining. This was also what Su Meiyao asked him to do, because refining pills in the future would be more difficult, and it would be easy to fail even if the refining method was used. Now that he has a foundation, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.
Using the Flame Dragon Furnace can speed up the process, but if he slows down, the success rate of refining will be higher, especially when refining a relatively unfamiliar pill like the Five Elements True Essence Pill. He cannot be careless. Although he can grow medicinal materials in batches, failure will still make him sad.
He had a very deep memory of the last time he refined the Five Elements True Essence Pill in the competition. After that success, it would be much easier for him next time because he knew the refining process and could calculate it more easily without having as much of a headache as last time.
Half a day passed, and he succeeded in refining two furnaces in a row. Because this was not a competition, his speed was very slow, and he took a long break in between. At this time, he was more experienced in refining the Five Elements True Essence Pill. This was the first time he would not fail when refining a pill, and it was such a difficult and high-level pill.
You know, when he was refining the pills in the past, he would always fail many times before succeeding, which caused him to lose a lot of medicinal materials. Now that he has initially mastered the refining method, he can avoid this kind of loss. He feels that in the future he will only fail a few times at most before he can successfully learn to make a pill. However, the medicinal materials needed for the pills he will refine in the future are very rare, and a failure will make him want to cry.
"Twenty Five Elements True Essence Pills! I estimate that even if I eat them all, I won't be able to enter the seventh stage of the Zhenwu Realm. It will be increasingly difficult to improve my strength in the future!" Shen Xiang was lying on the lawn of the Taidan King Courtyard, looking at the blue sky. The scenery in the Taiwu Xuan Realm was very beautiful, which allowed him to calm down and do things.
Bang, bang, bang! Someone knocked on the door. When Chen Xiang heard the knock, he knew it was Gu Dongchen.
He stood up lazily, stretched, and then walked over to open the door.
"Is there anything wrong?" Shen Xiang yawned. He was a little tired after refining the elixir. Only he dared to treat the headmaster of Taiwu Sect like this, without any courtesy at all.
"Let's talk inside!" Gu Dongchen pushed the door open and walked in. Shen Xiang led him to a secret room.
Shen Xiang casually made a glass of water for Gu Dongchen and said, "Forget about asking me to fight or compete in alchemy. I don't have time now!"
"Don't worry, with that kid from the Dali tribe as your shield, fewer and fewer people are looking for you. But that kid is more famous than you now! He even said that you defeated him by luck, and that he was not in good shape at the time. In short, he found all kinds of reasons to deny the fact that you defeated him!" Gu Dongchen shook his head and said, "That's nothing. What's more infuriating is that a large group of people actually believed it."
Chen Xiang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Little brat, are you here to provoke me to come out of the mountain? Don't think about it, I am now going all out to prepare for that big storm, and the one who ends up being the winner is the one who laughs. If I get seriously injured now and stop moving forward, that would be troublesome."
