Chapter 137 The monster-like Song
When Song Zhiqing heard this, he smiled calmly.
“After so many years, he has just broken through from the third level of the Qi Refining Stage to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
“The speed of this cultivation progress should be the five-attribute spiritual root.”
In fact, Song Jie’s cultivation speed is still faster than that of monks with five-attribute spiritual roots.
It is roughly equivalent to the cultivation speed of a four-attribute spiritual root monk.
Considering that Song Jie is a first-level alchemist with quite superb alchemy skills, there should be no shortage of spiritual stone flowers.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Song Jie should have used external objects to slightly speed up his cultivation.
But even so, the speed of this cultivation progress is still too slow in their eyes.
Therefore, Song Zhiqing felt that the five attribute spiritual roots that Song Jie mentioned at the beginning should be true and did not deceive them.
“The five-attribute spiritual root, the sixth level of cultivation in the Qi refining stage, is able to cultivate the Dan Fire Technique to this level.
“Suddenly I feel that all these years of my life have been in vain.”
Lin Youtian sighed softly.
He didn’t know why, but he felt envious of Song Jie but couldn’t be jealous.
He envied Song Jie’s alchemy talent which far exceeded his.
And because of Song Jie’s spiritual talent, he couldn’t feel too much jealousy towards him.
In Lin Youtian’s opinion, with Song Jie’s five-attribute spiritual root and his cultivation level in the foundation-building period, it is almost impossible to successfully form a pill.
In other words, Song Jie could only stop at being a second-level alchemist in the end.
And he, Lin Youtian, possesses spiritual roots with dual attributes of wood and fire, is a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, and has the support of the Lin family behind him.
To him, foundation building was just something he could do casually.
Even if it is to form a pill, it is just a matter of time.
Even if it’s Nascent Soul, he can go for it.
In the future, the two of them are destined to not be on the same level.
Therefore, Lin Youtian couldn’t be jealous of Song Jie’s talent in alchemy.
I just feel a little pity and regret.
It would be great if Song Jie’s alchemy talent was given to him, so that he would have a chance to compete with Mu Lingxuan for the throne of the number one alchemy genius.
Song Zhiqing didn’t have such a strong sense of utilitarianism and smiled slightly.
He spoke to comfort him: “Junior brother Lin, there is no need to feel inferior. Your spiritual root talent and alchemy talent are both top-notch.
“Song Jie’s situation is just an exception…”
Speaking of this, Song Zhiqing also sighed softly and continued: “However, Song Jie’s spiritual root talent is indeed a pity.”
While the two of them were sighing with emotion, Zhao Xuanyu, who was sitting at the top, had a dignified look on his face.
He immediately raised his hand and waved, and an invisible sound barrier enveloped him and Huangfu Shen.
“Fellow Daoist Huangfu, can you tell me where you met this little friend Song?”
God Huangfu blinked and said with a smile: “We met in Xinyuefang City not far from here.
“What? Sect Leader Zhao wants to recruit him as his disciple?”
Zhao Xuanyu nodded without hiding his inner thoughts.
“I do have this idea. This little friend Song’s alchemy talent may not be worse than Lingxuan’s.”
With his eyesight, he could naturally see Song Jie’s level of cultivation and the level of Dan Fire Technique.
And he saw more than all the alchemists present.
From Song Jie’s Danhuo technique, Zhao Xuanyu saw a hint of charm.
A monk at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage who is able to cultivate the Alchemy Fire Technique with a trace of charm is undoubtedly an extremely rare alchemy genius.
Even Mu Lingxuan’s Dan Fire Technique is still far away from this level.
In this competition, others may not be able to tell who will win yet, but he is almost certain that Song Jie will win in the end.
However, for Zhao Xuanyu, winning or losing the competition is not important.
What’s important is Song Jie’s origins and whether he has a chance to recruit Song Jie.
Seeing Zhao Xuanyu’s love for talents, God Huangfu immediately smiled and said: “To be honest with Sect Leader Zhao, this little friend Song has a five-attribute spiritual root.
“If you recruit him as a disciple, to what level do you think Sect Master Zhao can train him to with the foundation of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect?”
“Five attribute spiritual roots…” Zhao Xuanyu was silent for a moment, then sighed with a hint of regret: “If you are lucky enough, you can only reach the Dan Formation realm at most.
“The greater possibility is that until the life span is exhausted, there will be no opportunity to form an elixir.”
The biggest problem for monks with five-attribute spiritual roots is the speed at which their cultivation level increases.
Although you can use external forces to speed up the improvement of your cultivation, the help that external forces can provide is still limited after all.
Moreover, relying too much on external forces and forcibly improving your cultivation level will also leave some hidden dangers in the future.
Since Zhao Xuanyu started practicing, he has seen too many monks with five-attribute spiritual roots. Even if their life span is exhausted, they still cannot successfully build the foundation.
Even if you are lucky enough to succeed in building the foundation, forming the core is an almost impossible hurdle to overcome.
God Huangfu nodded and said, “So Sect Master Zhao must think carefully about whether to recruit him into his sect…”
“Perhaps Zixiao Continent is more suitable for him. With his qualifications, staying in Yunmo Continent will only limit his development.”
Zhao Xuanyu’s eyes flickered and he quickly made a decision.
Then he looked at God Huangfu and asked, “Will fellow Taoist Huangfu take him to Zixiaozhou in the future?”
“I have this plan after he builds the foundation.” God Huangfu chuckled.
Zhao Xuanyu heard this and said, “If it is convenient then, please ask fellow Taoist Huangfu to take Lingxuan to Zixiao Continent as well.”
“Zhao Zongzhu is willing to give up?”
Huangfu Shen looked at Zhao Xuanyu with some surprise.
When they were talking before, Zhao Xuanyu said that he wanted Mu Lingxuan to go to Zixiao Continent for some training in the future.
He thought Huangfu Shen was just saying it politely, but he didn’t expect that he really had such a plan.
“There is nothing to be reluctant to part with.” Zhao Xuanyu took a deep breath and sighed: “With Lingxuan’s alchemy talent, staying in the Danding Sect will only limit her future.
“Just like this little friend Song, if he wants to break through to a higher realm in the future, he can only go to other continents.”
After hearing this, God Huangfu didn’t ask any more questions. He nodded gently and said, “If I want to return to Zixiaozhou in the future, I will take Mu Lingxuan with me.”
“Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Huangfu.” Zhao Xuanyu said his sincere thanks to God Huangfu.
After ending this conversation, Zhao Xuanyu waved his hand again, lifted the sound barrier, and continued to watch the competition on the forum with concentration.
At this time, the competition on the forum was coming to an end.
After being calcined by Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan’s respective elixir fire techniques, the demonic beast’s essence and blood had completely lost its liquid form and turned into a crystal the size of a fist.
Moreover, this crystal has a tendency to continue to become smaller under the calcining of the elixir fire.
Not long after, Mu Lingxuan felt that her purification had reached its limit.
After a few more attempts, I found that the crystals of blood essence of monsters in the basin had no tendency to become smaller at all, so I immediately put away the pill fire technique.
As the lavender flame dissipated, it also meant that Mu Lingxuan’s purification was over.
Looking at the half-fist-sized crystal of monster blood essence in the basin, Mu Lingxuan sighed softly in her heart.
In fact, not long after the competition started, Mu Lingxuan knew that she might lose this competition after feeling Song Jie’s Danhuo surgery.
But she still tried her best to complete the purification of the demonic beast’s essence and blood.
Turning to look at Song Jie, he found that the other party was still maintaining his Dan Fire Technique.
As for the monster blood crystal in Song Jie’s basin, after it was only half the size of a fist, it continued to be purified, and its size gradually became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After another dozen breaths, Song Jie also slowly put away his pill fire technique.
After looking at the crystal of monster blood in his basin that contained almost no impurities, Song Jie nodded with satisfaction.
Picking up the monster blood crystal, which was only the size of a thumb, Song Jie looked at Mu Lingxuan with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Mu, do you need to check it?”
Mu Lingxuan smiled and shook her head and said, “No test is needed. Fellow Daoist Song won this competition.”
At the beginning of the competition, the amount of monster essence and blood in the two basins was the same.
After being calcined by the elixir fire, Song Jie’s monster essence blood crystal was only the size of a thumb, while hers was half the size of a fist.
The results of the competition are already very obvious.
Mu Lingxuan calmly accepted the fact that she lost the competition.
Hearing this, Song Jie nodded and said, “Thank you Daoist Fellow Mu for your concession. I am pretty good at Dan Fire Technique. If we compete in alchemy, I will definitely not be able to compare with Fellow Daoist Mu.”
“Fellow Daoist Song, there is no need to be self-effacing. Your alchemy and fire skills have reached the level of proficiency. How can you be bad at refining alchemy?”
Mu Lingxuan smiled slightly, and then asked: “However, I want to know to what extent Brother Daoist Song has purified the blood essence of the monster.”
“Fellow Taoist Mu, you can feel it for yourself.”
With that said, Song Jie directly threw the monster blood crystal in his hand to Mu Lingxuan.
Raising her hand to catch the crystal that shone with strange red light, Mu Lingxuan felt it silently for a while.
“This is……”
Mu Lingxuan’s eyes showed a hint of shock at first, and then relief appeared in her eyes.
“It seems that I did not lose unjustly in this competition. Fellow Daoist Song was able to achieve almost 100% purification.
“Fellow Daoist Song’s Alchemy Technique has not only reached the level of proficiency, but has also reached the pinnacle of first-level alchemy masters, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.”
In this competition, Mu Lingxuan was convinced that she had lost.
What she didn’t expect was that Song Jie had reached the realm she had been pursuing first.
When she first met Song Jie, she had a hunch that he would become a powerful rival in her alchemy path.
Now it seems that her original hunch was indeed correct.
Song Jie’s performance did not disappoint her.
Although she lost the competition, Mu Lingxuan not only did not feel depressed, but she was very happy.
Having such a good opponent on the alchemy path finally makes me feel less lonely.
At this moment, Mu Lingxuan felt that she was not alone.
At the same time, many monks at the scene stood up in shock when they heard Mu Lingxuan say that Song Jie’s purification reached 100%.
“One hundred percent purified, what kind of monster is this!”
“It turns out that someone can actually achieve 100% purification. This really shocked me.”
“I really gained a lot of experience today. Not only did I see a first-grade elixir of perfect quality, I also saw an elixir fire technique that can be 100% purified.”
“Have you noticed that Song Jie’s cultivation level is only at the sixth level of Qi refining stage…”
“Hiss! If you don’t tell me, I really have forgotten that someone who is at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage can practice Dan Fire Technique to this level. It’s simply terrifying!”
“It’s so scary! It’s so scary!”
“Tell me, Mu Lingxuan or Song Jie, whose talent for alchemy is better?”
“I think Song Jie’s alchemy talent is even better. He is only at the sixth level of Qi refining stage, but he can practice the alchemy fire technique to this level.
“And Mu Lingxuan is already at the seventh level of Qi refining stage, and she can’t refine the Dan Fire Technique to the same level as Song Jie.”
“I don’t think so, I still think Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy talent is superior.
“Although the alchemy and fire skills are powerful, the alchemy is not bad, but the alchemy talent does not only depend on the level of the alchemy and fire skills.”
“It’s true. Song Jie himself admitted it just now. When it comes to alchemy, he can’t compare to Mu Lingxuan.
“So in general, Mu Lingxuan’s alchemy talent should be superior.”
“No matter what, the alchemy talents of these two people are beyond our comparison.”
“My Taoist friend’s words are reasonable, but they are incomparable…”
Just when everyone at the scene was filled with emotion, on the discussion stage.
Mu Lingxuan took out a green fruit from her storage bag and handed it to Song Jie.
“Fellow Daoist Song, this fruit is the ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’, since you have defeated me.
“Then, according to the rules of the competition set in advance, this ‘Ling Yuan Fairy Fruit’ will belong to you.”
“Thank you Taoist Mu~”
Song Jie was not polite and took the “Lingyuan Immortal Fruit” from Mu Lingxuan’s hand, holding it in front of him and looking at it carefully.
The appearance of “Lingyuan Fairy Fruit” is deep green, as if it brings together the clear springs in the mountains and the greenery of the morning sun.
The surface of the peel is covered with fine textures, which are like runes carefully carved by nature, shining with a faint golden light.
On the top of the fruit, there is a slightly raised golden garland, which is like a crown of fairy fruit, highlighting its nobility and extraordinaryness.
In the center of the wreath, a crystal clear dewdrop hangs like a pure gem, emitting a soft and mysterious light.
This “Lingyuan Immortal Fruit” is not large in size, and Song Jie can hold it firmly with just one palm.
“This is the ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’, and it looks really different from ordinary spiritual fruits.
“Faintly, there seems to be a trace of Taoist rhyme flowing within it, which is very magical…”
Hearing this, Mu Lingxuan smiled and said: “The ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’ is indeed different from ordinary spiritual fruits. This is a real immortal fruit that contains fragments of the Great Law.
“That’s why we can ignore the level of cultivation and directly raise the realm of Qi Refining Stage monks by one level.
“Unfortunately, this fruit is only effective for monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and each Qi Refining Stage monk can only take one.
“Taking the second pill will have no effect.”
“One is enough.” Song Jie laughed and put the “Ling Yuan Fairy Fruit” in his hand into his storage bag.
Mu Lingxuan nodded and said: “Fellow Daoist Song can take this fruit when he is at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so that the effect of the ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’ can be maximized.”
“That’s what I meant.”
Song Jie nodded lightly, and then thought of a very crucial question.
That’s how long the shelf life of “Lingyuan Fairy Fruit” is…
He immediately asked: “Fellow Daoist Mu, I wonder if there is anything that needs to be paid attention to when storing this ‘Lingyuan Immortal Fruit’?
“Also, how long can it be stored at most?”
