When Song Zhiqing opened the jade bottle containing Fuling Pills and smelled the fragrance of elixirs wafting out of it, his expression suddenly froze.
His rich experience in alchemy told him that this was another bottle of high-quality first-class elixir.
He immediately controlled his spiritual power and took out the Fu Ling Pill from the jade bottle.
It is indeed a high-quality Fuling Pill.
Song Zhiqing sighed inwardly, and then thought that Fuling Pills, like Rejuvenation Pills, were recovery elixirs that were in high demand in the market.
He immediately asked: “Fellow Daoist Song, is this Fuling Pill one of the popular elixirs in your Xinyuefang City?”
Song Jie nodded lightly.
“Yes, for those monks who have been in Shiwanda Mountain all year round, Rejuvenation Pill and Fuling Pill are the necessary elixirs for them to enter the mountain.
“So I refine this Fuling Pill almost every day.”
Song Zhiqing didn’t say much and accepted Song Jie’s statement.
The two elixirs that are often refined can be of high quality, which is still within his acceptance range.
After putting Fuling Pill back into the pill bottle, Song Zhiqing picked up another bottle of Chongmai Pill.
The previous Rejuvenation Pills and Fuling Pills are not very difficult to refine.
If you refine it all year round, it will not be difficult to refine it to high quality over time.
But Chongmai Dan is different.
As a first-grade elixir that is relatively difficult to refine, if you want to refine it with high quality, you cannot just accumulate it all year round.
It also requires a certain amount of alchemy talent.
Moreover, although Chongmai Dan has a certain market in most areas, this elixir is not strictly needed.
In his opinion, Song Jie should not refine Chongmai Pill every day.
Song Zhiqing took a deep breath to calm down.
Then he gently removed the cork, brought the mouth of the bottle to his nose and smelled it.
This Danxiang! The moment he smelled the fragrance of elixir, Song Zhiqing’s eyes immediately widened, and he thought it was impossible.
But no matter how impossible it is, the Danxiang cannot fool anyone.
He also mastered the refining method of Chongmai Pill.
And at best, it is possible to refine high-quality Chongmai Dan, but the probability is not particularly high.
It is precisely because of the refined high-quality Chongmai Dan that Song Zhiqing can smell the fragrance of the elixir and know the quality of Song Jie’s bottle of Chongmai Dan.
Immediately, Song Zhiqing immediately controlled his spiritual power and took out the Chongmai Pill from the jade bottle, taking a closer look.
really!
He did not expect that Song Jie, whom he had initially evaluated as having considerable talent for alchemy, would soon surpass his in alchemy skills in just a dozen years.
With such an astonishing talent in alchemy, it was difficult for Song Zhiqing to find anyone who could match him even in the Alchemy Sect.
In his opinion, perhaps only the sect master’s direct disciple, Mu Lingxuan, could beat Song Jie.
Put the Chongmai Dan back into the jade bottle and put it on the stall.
Song Zhiqing felt that there was no need to look at the other three elixirs.
Song Jie was able to refine Chongmai Pills to produce high-quality pills. Even if the other three self-created pills were all of high-quality quality, he wouldn’t be surprised.
However, driven by curiosity, Song Zhiqing still asked: “Are these three elixirs created by Fellow Daoist Song all of high quality?”
“Yes.” Song Jie nodded with a smile on his face: “But I can’t guarantee that these elixirs will be of high quality right now.
“These are the elixirs that I specially selected for display.”
Sure enough, they are all of high quality…
Song Zhiqing couldn’t help but sigh again in his heart.
As for the next two sentences Song Jie said, he had already expected them.
The stalls at this kind of conference are different from the usual stalls. Their main purpose is to display the elixir, not to sell the elixir.
Therefore, what is put on display must be the highest quality elixir that I can currently refine.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Song Jie’s approach.
Song Jie’s last two sentences also confirmed his previous guesses.
Song Jie’s current alchemy skills are only close to him, but have not surpassed him.
Thinking of this, Song Zhiqing asked again: “Can I ask, what is the current level of cultivation of Fellow Daoist Song?”
When the opponent does not release his spiritual power, even if his cultivation level is higher than Song Jie’s, it is still impossible to tell the depth of Song Jie’s cultivation level.
Unless he practices spells such as the Watching Qi Technique, he can directly see the specific cultivation level of monks whose cultivation level is lower than his own.
Obviously, Song Zhiqing did not practice Qi Watching.
For alchemists like them who don’t often fight with others, Qi-gazing is not a very necessary spell.
Most alchemists will not practice this.
When Song Jie heard the other party ask about his cultivation level, he immediately said with some shame: “I just broke through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage not long ago.”
Sixth level of Qi refining stage…
This is similar to Song Zhiqing’s previous guess.
More than ten years ago, he remembered that Song Jie was at the third level of Qi refining stage.
After so many years, he has only just broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
According to Song Zhiqing’s speculation, Song Jie should have used external forces to speed up the progress of his cultivation.
Compared with ordinary fifth-level monks in the Qi refining period, the speed of cultivation progress will be faster, but the speed is also limited.
It is almost equivalent to the speed of cultivation progress of the Four Spiritual Roots monks without any external force.
With such a slow progress in cultivation, it can only be said that it is worthy of the five-attribute spiritual root.
Although he was envious of Song Jie’s alchemy talent, Song Zhiqing was not jealous of him.
He knew that with Song Jie’s spiritual talent, it would be difficult for him to surpass himself in future achievements.
In a few years, he may be able to break through to the foundation-building stage.
By then he will be a foundation-building monk.
After breaking through the foundation building stage, he can start trying to refine the second-grade elixir.
It won’t take long for him to be promoted to a second-level alchemist.
Once he becomes a second-level alchemist, Song Jie will never be able to compare with him.
The second-level alchemy master and the first-level alchemy master are two completely different levels of existence.
With Song Jie’s five-attribute spiritual roots, it is still unknown whether he can successfully build the foundation.
Promotion to the second level alchemy master is even further away.
Thinking of this, Song Zhiqing couldn’t help but feel pity for Song Jie.
Kong has an extraordinary talent for alchemy, but he has a five-attribute spiritual root.
However, it was a pity in his heart, and Song Zhiqing still smiled and praised: “Fellow Taoist Song is able to refine so many high-quality first-grade elixirs with his cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage.
“This kind of talent in alchemy is indeed something that I admire greatly.
“It’s a pity that Fellow Daoist Song did not choose to join our Alchemy Sect.
“Otherwise, you and I are brothers now.”
Although Song Jie’s alchemy talent is very high, he is only a first-level alchemist after all, and the upper limit is probably only a first-level alchemist.
The Danding Sect is one of the five major sects in Yunmo Continent, and it is also a cultivating sect that is good at alchemy. The most important thing is a first-level alchemist.
Since Song Jie gave up the opportunity to join the Alchemy Sect, even if he wanted to join the Alchemy Sect now, he might not have the opportunity.
Unless Song Jie can be promoted to a second-level alchemist, he may get another chance to join the Alchemy Sect.
In everything there is a gain and a loss.
If he had joined the Alchemy Sect, according to the rules of the Alchemy Sect, he would still be a handyman disciple now…
He is probably busy with various chores within the sect every day.
You can’t have the comfort of opening your own shop and being the boss, let alone earn so many spiritual stones.
Therefore, Song Jie only replied politely to Song Zhiqing’s words.
“It was true that I was young and frivolous and acted a little impulsively.
“But these are all things of the past, and monks like us should live well in the present and look to the future.
“What do you think, Fellow Daoist Song?”
Song Zhiqing was slightly startled. He did not expect that Song Jie had such a character and consciousness.
He immediately laughed and said, “What Taoist friend Song said makes sense.
“Live the present moment well and look to the future.”
After some exchanges, Song Zhiqing turned his attention to the Xuanyang Pill on Song Jie’s stall.
Back then, Song Jie won the first place in the “Popular Pill Competition” by relying on the mortal elixir, Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill.
He remembered that at that time, all the monks in Xinyuefang City were full of praise for the Vajra Dragon and Tiger Pill refined by Song Jie. It could be said that it received rave reviews.
This made him curious about what kind of miraculous effects the Xuanyang Pill would have after the improved and upgraded Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill.
In addition to curiosity, part of the reason was that he had just become a Taoist companion with a senior sister in the sect half a year ago.
As a man, you will definitely want to perform better in front of your Taoist companions.
But he was embarrassed to exchange the prescription for the aphrodisiac pill within the sect, as that would leave a record of the exchange.
As for buying aphrodisiac elixirs from those brothers who have exchanged them for aphrodisiac pills, that would be even more embarrassing.
If a certain senior brother was not serious, and everyone in the sect knew that Song Zhiqing needed aphrodisiac elixirs to assist his dual cultivation, he would not know how to continue to hang out in the Alchemy Sect.
Now, I happened to meet Song Jie at the “Elixir Forum”, and it happened that the other party’s stall had aphrodisiac elixirs.
Song Zhiqing naturally didn’t want to miss such a rare opportunity.
He immediately asked with a somewhat unnatural expression: “I wonder if Fellow Daoist Song’s Xuanyang Pill is available for sale?”
Song Jie didn’t show any strange expression when he heard the other party suddenly asked about this.
He had seen this kind of situation too many times before when he was setting up a stall in Xinyuefang City, and he was already used to it.
So he smiled knowingly and said: “Of course they are for sale. I wonder how many bottles would you like to buy, fellow Daoist Song?”
“Buy… um… a bottle first and have a look.” Song Zhiqing said awkwardly, “If the effect is good, I will… come again.”
“No problem.” Song Jie chuckled.
Then he picked up a bottle of Xuanyang Pill and handed it to Song Zhiqing.
“High-quality Xuanyang Pill, twelve spiritual stones in one bottle.”
Song Zhiqing didn’t say anything, he took out twelve spiritual stones and exchanged them for a bottle of Xuanyang Pill from Song Jie.
To him, twelve spiritual stones were nothing at all.
An experienced alchemist will almost never lack Lingshihua.
After putting the Xuanyang Pill away, Song Zhiqing asked again: “How should I take this Xuanyang Pill?”
“It’s very simple. Just take one pill before each sexual intercourse.” Song Jie smiled slightly.
Song Zhiqing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said: “At this time, I ask fellow Taoist Song to keep it a secret for me.”
“Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Song, I am a businessman and I will not ruin my job.”
Song Jie promised firmly.
When Song Jie said that he was a businessman, Song Zhiqing immediately felt relieved.
He knows that people who do business still have some professional ethics.
In particular, keeping customers confidential is something that every businessman must do, otherwise he will be ruining his own job.
“I have something important to do next. Come back in two days to have a friendly discussion with Daoist Song about Alchemy.”
Although Song Jie is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, with Song Jie’s alchemy skills, the two of them can indeed communicate and learn on the alchemy path.
Therefore, Song Zhiqing’s words came from the heart and were not polite words.
Song Jie naturally welcomed this.
A few days ago, in the courtyard of Danhua Town, Song Jie felt that he had gained something from communicating with several alchemists who came from various places.
If you can communicate with Alchemy Sect disciples about Alchemy, you will definitely gain more.
Seeing the change in Song Zhiqing’s expression when he smelled the fragrance of the elixir just now, Song Jie knew that the other party must be an experienced first-level alchemist.
I couldn’t help but look forward to the scene of discussing Taoism with Song Zhiqing.
He immediately smiled and said: “Then I will wait here for the arrival of Fellow Daoist Song.”
After the two said goodbye, Song Zhiqing left the place and walked up the mountain.
I don’t know if he really has important matters to return to the sect, or he can’t wait to go back and try the effect of Xuanyang Pill.
As soon as Song Zhiqing left, another monk came to Song Jie’s stall.
Judging from the other party’s clothes, he shouldn’t be a disciple of the Alchemy Sect.
After a brief exchange, Song Jie found out that the other person was a wild alchemist like him, and they both ran a shop in their respective cities.
In this way, the two of them have many common topics to talk about.
And because the other party heard the conversation between Song Jie and Song Zhiqing just now, he knew that Song Jie was also a businessman.
Then I came over to have a chat with Song Jie and share their experience in running a store.
Of course, as an alchemist, it is also essential to exchange experiences in alchemy.
The “Elixir Discussion Conference” organized by the Alchemy Sect itself is to provide a platform for alchemists like them to communicate.
They are not allowed to set up stalls here to sell elixirs, and of course they are not restricted from selling elixirs.
However, most of the monks who come here are alchemists who can refine elixirs themselves, and generally do not go to other people’s stalls to buy elixirs in large quantities.
At most, I am interested in certain elixirs and will buy a bottle and go back to study it.
At the end of the day, many alchemists came to Song Jie’s stall to exchange alchemy methods with him.
There are wild alchemists, alchemists from other forces, and disciples of the Alchemy Sect.
Through communication with different alchemists, Song Jie also felt that he had gained a lot.
In particular, the whimsical ideas of some alchemists provided him with many inspirations for new elixirs.
It is worth mentioning that some of the disciples of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect were more interested in his Xuanyang Pill and each bought a bottle.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Song Jie to keep it secret.
This made Song Jie couldn’t help but suspect that the purpose of purchasing Xuanyang Pill was for research use? Or is it used by Heihe? It seems that it is not easy to buy aphrodisiac elixirs in the Alchemy Sect.
Those wild alchemists, as well as alchemists from other forces, were more interested in Song Jie’s Chongmai Pill.
Song Jie also sold a lot of Chongmai Pills that day.
……
Stay until late afternoon.
When Song Jie was about to close the stall, a cold voice suddenly came to his ears.
“Eh? Is this the Xuanyin Pill?”
