Twelve Superior Qi Return Pills, Ning Cheng breathed out, his first time refining pills and he had produced twelve Superior Perfect Qi Return Pills.
This was not because of how high his dan refining level was, nor was it because of how high his comprehension ability was, nor was it because he was a genius in dan refining, but because of one thing, Xuanhuang Wufang. There was not a single person whose Dan skill was changing from moment to moment, except for him.
The reason he hadn’t refined the Extraordinary Pill was because he had spent too much time refining the medicinal liquid in the early stages, consuming too much of the medicinal and spiritual qualities in the liquid.
Ning Cheng did not refine any other pills, he continued to refine the Qi Return Pill which was only Grade 1. That time refining the formation flag had given him a great touch, even the simplest things would cause a qualitative change when you became familiar with them to a certain extent.
He almost didn’t have enough divine sense to refine the Qi Returning Pill, not because of how powerful the divine sense needed to refine the Pill, nor because his refining technique was incorrect. Rather, it was because he was unfamiliar with it, unfamiliar with the various kinds of alchemy.
The first day pa*sed like this, as Ning Cheng was refining the Qi Return Pill.
The second day also pa*sed like this, with Ning Cheng refining the Qi Return Pill.
……
On the fifteenth day, he was still refining the Qi Return Pill when Nan Yuefang, the only young marquis of his Shao Du Camp, came to find him.
……
On the twenty-third day, when Empty Peng Peng came to find Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng was still in seclusion refining the Qi Return Pill.
……
On the thirtieth day when Ning Cheng had refined a Furnace of Extraordinary Qi Return Pill in less than half a pillar of incense, he suddenly froze in his tracks. He even forgot to clean the pottery furnace and summarize the gains and losses of this potion refining.
It was only after several whole breaths that Ning Cheng said to himself in disbelief, “A Qi Return Pill without a Dan Skill?”
He had been refining the Qi Return Pill for thirty days, and at the beginning, he was still constantly summing up the gains and losses of it, but in the later days, he completely wanted to finish refining all the ingredients for the Qi Return Pill. This was because even if he closed his eyes, he could easily refine an Extraordinary Qi Return Pill.
During these thirty days, his refining decision and closing decision for each of his Qi Return Pills were different. This Ning Cheng was already used to. Every time he collected his pills, there was an automatic dan recipe that came out.
However, today, he clearly felt that he did not use any Dan Skill to refine the herbs. Separating the residue, purifying, gathering the liquid, returning the spirit, condensing the form, and forming the dan ……
The process was done in one go, without using any dan skills at all. He just felt that it was the right thing to do and then did it that way, and in the end, it naturally formed a furnace Qi Returning Pill.
Refining a Qi Returning Pill without a Dan recipe? This was completely different from what he had read in the Dan Refining Basics. What was said on the basis of alchemy was that any alchemy technique, any dan pill had to be matched with a dan recipe, and only a good dan recipe could form a better dan pill. Without a Dan recipe, the elixir has no form, and the elixir has no form. It can only be called a dan pill.
Ning Cheng took out the last Qi Return Pill he had made and compared it to the previous Qi Return Pill, and he felt the difference. The last furnace Qi Return Dan had a spiritual nature, while the previous Qi Return Dan only had a medicinal nature.
Ning Cheng had been refining Qi Return Pills for a month, and he immediately understood this. The Qi Return Pills that other people had refined with their Dan Skill only had medicinal properties, which was the form. Whereas, he had formed the Qi Return Pill automatically by virtue of the medicinal liquid. Without using any Dan Skill, it had a spiritual nature, which was God.
He had heard people say that only a very few some Xuan Dan masters, when refining ordinary mortal pills, could occasionally refine a Return Qi Dan with a divine nature. He, on the other hand, was merely an ordinary First Grade Mortal Dan Master. It was possible to refine pills with divine properties. This was the difference between the Xuanhuang Wufang and the rest of the dan techniques, he had only just learnt about pills, and he was able to refine pills of this quality.
Forcing down the excitement within him, Ning Cheng continued to refine pills, not only did he refine the Qi Return Pill, he also refined the rest of the first grade pills. Such as Qi Gathering Pills and so on.
After another month, Ning Cheng stopped continuing to refine first grade pills. He felt that he no longer needed to refine his first grade pills, he could refine any kind of first grade pills without using his Dan Skill. He could also use any Dan Skill to refine a Grade 1 Pill.
Ning Cheng put away his Dan Furnace, cleaned himself up a little and decided to go to Pu Buhai Island to have a look. When he returned, he would start refining Tier 2 pills.
Ning Cheng had just pushed open the room where he was in seclusion when his divine sense swept across Nan Yue Fang and Yang Hong Hou waiting outside his Shao Du Mansion.
“What are you guys doing here?” Ning Cheng asked suspiciously as he came in front of the two, noticing that Lan Yueying’s face was a little ugly.
Yang Hong Hou said with a sobbing face, “Half a month ago, in the beast tide battle of the Pu Bu Sea Island Jia Continent Cultivator Army, we, the young capital, finished at the bottom. Nan Shao Hou was ridiculed, said, said ……” (Nan Yue Fang is a Shao Hou, has been revised)
Ning Cheng waved his hand, he knew that there must not be any good words. However, the Yixing Sea War had already ended, where did the beast tide come from?
“What was the beast tide war about? Tell me about it.” Ning Cheng asked.
When Nan Yuefang saw that Ning Cheng didn’t even know what the Beast Tide was, he looked at Ning Cheng somewhat speechlessly. What kind of young capital was this, he didn’t even know the most basic things about Pu Buhai Island. Were those deeds of his true or false?
Yang Hong Hou knew where Ning Cheng was coming from, so he hurriedly said, “There is a beast tide that breaks out once a year in the Yixing Sea, it is all a spontaneous act of the demonic beasts, and it has little to do with the Yixing Sea Cultivator Army. The cultivator armies stationed on the great islands of the Yixing Sea will fight against the beast tide every year. This kind of beast tide usually does not affect the Nine Continents, and has only benefits and no disadvantages for the cultivator armies of the Nine Continents stationed in the Yixing Sea.”
Ning Cheng understood that this tide of beasts should be the demonic beasts that were originally present in the Yixing Sea. He had previously wondered where these Yixing Sea cultivator armies would get their cultivation resources from once there was no war, but it turned out that there was a tide of beasts every year. The Yixing Sea demonic beasts were full of treasures, whether it was fur or sinew and meat, they could be sold. These things were enough for the Yixing Sea cultivators to cultivate.
No wonder there were so many merchant ships coming and going from Pu Bu Sea Island every day, these merchant ships not only brought in a large amount of resources, but also carried away a large amount of demon beast materials.
“We are less all afraid to rush ahead because of our small numbers, and as a result, we grab less demon beasts and earn less.” Nan Yue Fang said with some great discomfort.
Everyone else was led by the Shao Du, with the four Hou battalions and the Shao Du’s own soldiers forming a fortress-type attack, while they only had her as a Shao Du, and when faced with a tide of beasts rushing in, they could only follow the others’ a*ses to pick up some trash materials, or what the others didn’t want.
“Is this the only thing?” Ning Cheng said, it was just some demon beast materials, was there a need to cry like this?
Nan Yuefang finally couldn’t help but say loudly, “Lord Shao Du, for you it’s this little thing, for one of our Shao Hou army battalions, it’s not this little thing. Do you know what the main purpose of our army of cultivators coming to join the army is? Everyone is here to cultivate, if they don’t even have the resources to cultivate, why would they come here?”
After saying that, Lan Yuefang also gave a very unsatisfied sweeping glance at Yang Hong Hou, who had talked their Shao Du to death and turned out to be such a person.
Ning Cheng realised that he had said the wrong thing, the main purpose of the cultivators in the Cultivators’ Army was indeed to cultivate, if they didn’t even have the resources to cultivate, who else would be willing to join the Cultivators’ Army?
He said with some embarra*sment, “This year’s beast tide is over, I don’t know either. Let’s wait for next year’s, we’ll put in more effort then.”
Yang Hong Hou knew that Ning Cheng did not know much about the life of the cultivator army on Pu Buhai Island and hurriedly said, “Shao Du, even if the beast tide is over, our cultivator army will still go out to sea often. We go out to sea just to hunt demonic beasts, and if we encounter a demonic beast swarm, our number of one Shao Hou is indeed a little too small.”
“This is simple.” Ning Cheng said and walked to the square in his mansion, raised his hand and waved out the black and silver warship and said, “This will stay inside the barracks, next time you go out, use this warship’s spirit stone cannon to blast ……”
Yang Hong Hou said speechlessly, “Shao Du, if we had so many spirit stones, where would we use them to blast demon beasts?”
Ning Cheng laughed and was just about to speak when he heard Nan Yue Fang, who had been shocked by the black silver warship, say in awe, “This is a top cla*s black silver warship …… Yang Hong Hou, are you telling the truth?”
Yang Hong Hou said with a bitter face, “Young Marquis Nan, of course what I said is true, it is a fact that our Shao Du has a black silver battleship, what is there to lie to you about?”
“Haha …… with this, then there is no fear of demon beasts, or those bragging kings and lambs ……” Nan Yuefang suddenly felt all wrong, she subconsciously looked at Ning Cheng and asked again A sentence said, “Shao Du, are you really willing to put the black and silver warship in my place?”
Ning Cheng was about to go to Rule Road, so this Black Silver Warship was indeed more useful to keep in the army than to keep on him, and he also planned to get a more advanced flying magic treasure. Besides, even if he didn’t have a flying magic treasure, he still had the Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings.
“That’s right, this black and silver warship will be placed in your Young Marquis camp for the time being. By the way, do you have a storage ring that can hold this big thing?” Ning Cheng suddenly thought that Nan Yue Fang was only at Xuan Liquid cultivation level, and many Xuan Liquid cultivators did not even have a storage ring.
He should have known that he had asked Man Jean for a storage ring to come, the rings of those Xuan Dan cultivators in the Yixing Sea contained all the cultivation resources that had been snatched from the Hua Continent, Ning Cheng had helped Yang Hong Hou with a few things apart from taking some spiritual herbs and a spiritual craft airship, the rest he didn’t have the heart to ask for.
“Many thanks to Shao Du, I have a storage ring.” Lan Yuefang raised her hand in a showy manner, her tone and expression very different from when she first arrived. She had been in the Yixing Sea Cultivator Army for so many years, she could always get some good things.
Yang Hong Hou asked with some confusion, “Young Marquis Nan, the spirit stones needed for this black and silver warship is a bottomless pit, how can we afford to use it?”
Nan Yuefang gave Yang Honghou a blank look, “Young Lieutenant Yang, you still specialise in warships, does this black and silver warship have to cost a thousand spirit stones at a time? When we meet lesser demonic beasts, we can blast out a hundred spirit stones with one shot. When we encounter a very large group of demonic beasts, we use a thousand spirit stones to hit the scattering cannon, so that the attack has a large range and does not make the demonic beasts vaporize. Think about it, how many spirit stones do you need to attack thousands of demon beasts at a time that you can’t get back?”
At the end of the sentence Nan Yue Fang’s eyes were already glowing, as if she saw piles and piles of demon beast materials.
