Five Elements Sacred Secret

Chapter 161: Shi Changfeng's Jade Slip

"Nothing else, just asking you to understand. Also, the Dao of Alchemy cannot be neglected. No matter what happens, we can talk about it after the Dao of Alchemy Competition."

Shi Changfeng didn't say anything, but reminded Mu Xiaofeng again about the alchemy competition.

Shi Changfeng then added: "In addition, you can also mention any needs you have."

Mu Xiaofeng was still thinking about Shi Changfeng's previous words. Shi Changfeng didn't say anything about his purpose. The more he thought about it, the more unsure Mu Xiaofeng felt.

Seeing that Mu Xiaofeng didn't answer him, Shi Changfeng said again: "Xiaofeng, don't feel any pressure. If you have any needs, you can ask."

Mu Xiaofeng reacted now, thought for a moment and said, "Demand? I don't have any demand, I just want to know if I can exchange the extra pills I made for spirit stones."

Mu Xiaofeng originally had quite a lot of spirit stones, but he used them all up when he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

"How is the quality of the pills?" Shi Changfeng asked.

"Eighty percent are top-grade, 15 percent are mid-grade, and half are low-grade." Mu Xiaofeng explained. These were all the pills he had refined in the past three months. Every time he refined a new pill, only the first few batches would produce mid- and low-grade pills, so there were not many low-grade pills.

"That's not bad. I'll take them all." Shi Changfeng said with a wave of his hand.

"How can that be possible?" Mu Xiaofeng knew his own limitations. To Shi Changfeng, seventh-grade elixirs were only low-grade elixirs. What use did he have for these elixirs?

Mu Xiaofeng's original intention was for Shi Changfeng to come forward and plead with the sect, and not to lower the price too much. Mu Xiaofeng had never entered the sect to recycle elixirs, so he didn't know the market price. He brought it up here just to test the waters.

"Haha, you probably forgot that I have a disappointing son who is running the Dan Pavilion?" Shi Changfeng was an experienced man, so he naturally understood the reason why Mu Xiaofeng refused.

Mu Xiaofeng slapped his head, wondering why he had forgotten about this. It wouldn't be a big loss for him to let Qingfeng go to negotiate. Shi Shanqi was very nice to him at that time.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master." Mu Xiaofeng thanked.

"Haha, Xiaofeng, you misunderstood. Don't bother me with this matter. Just find Qingfeng and ask her to go find her second uncle."

Shi Changfeng smiled.

Mu Xiaofeng could only smile awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, if there's nothing else, you can go first." Shi Changfeng waved his hand.

Mu Xiaofeng thought about it and decided that there was nothing wrong, so he prepared to go back and look for Qingfeng.

After returning to Luoxia Peak, Mu Xiaofeng found that Qingfeng was still in seclusion and he could not wake him up, so he could only return to his residence.

Mu Xiaofeng thought about it and felt that he still needed to improve his alchemy skills. After all, his goal was not just to participate in the alchemy competition, but to get a place in the competition and enter the Xiaotianhuang Realm.

Mu Xiaofeng took out a jade slip, which was the alchemy jade slip that Shi Changfeng had given him.

Mu Xiaofeng immersed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip and found that the content was very rich.

First there was a general rule, which was not very long and Mu Xiaofeng finished reading it quickly.

Shi Changfeng's opinion is that the level of an alchemist depends on how much he understands spiritual herbs. Being able to refine a certain level of elixir is only one aspect.

According to Shi Changfeng's standard, Mu Xiaofeng is not a qualified alchemist.

Mu Xiaofeng has been working hard to improve the quality of the pills he is able to refine.

Always trying higher level elixirs.

What Shi Changfeng meant was that as an alchemist, one must know as much as possible about each kind of spiritual herb. Even a first-grade spiritual herb is worth the alchemist's good understanding.

In fact, if you don’t have a master, this point is usually the easiest to overlook.

Mu Xiaofeng also ignored this point, as he had not refined many first-grade elixirs.

What follows is the understanding of each level of elixir.

Although Mu Xiaofeng was already a seventh-rank alchemist, he still read through them carefully.

From the first level to the seventh level, Mu Xiaofeng saw it all very easily. Many of the elixirs that Shi Changfeng mentioned were also refined by Mu Xiaofeng himself.

Shi Changfeng's insights are much deeper, and for Mu Xiaofeng, these different insights are of great help to him.

Moreover, the jade slip given by Shi Changfeng mentioned a lot of alchemy knowledge for people like Mu Xiaofeng who had not received long-term training from a master.

When seeing the seventh-level elixir, Shi Changfeng emphasized his insights into spiritual "rules".

Shi Changfeng's understanding of spiritual "rules" is not limited to spiritual herbs. Shi Changfeng feels that this kind of spiritual "rule" exists in all things and is not a characteristic of spiritual herbs.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual "rule" is innate and is most obvious in the environment in which it is located.

It follows that the fresher the spiritual herbs, the more obvious the spiritual "rules" are. The same is true for the selection of spiritual herbs for alchemy, the fresher the better.

Another point of view is that spiritual "rules" do not exist only after being melted into spiritual liquid. Because they grow naturally, it is particularly important to perceive the growing spiritual herbs.

Shi Changfeng felt that the spiritual "rules" of low-level spiritual herbs also existed, but they were not obvious, so he could ignore them.

……

Mu Xiaofeng read through them one by one and learned more about the Dao of Alchemy. These were all Dao of Alchemy knowledge that he could not comprehend by refining the elixir himself.

At the same time, Mu Xiaofeng also realized how precious this jade slip was. It was even more precious than his own alchemy foundation.

Mu Xiaofeng also sighed in his heart, now they have both the status of master and apprentice, and the relationship between master and apprentice. This favor is not small.

However, the only thing that this jade slip did not mention was the understanding of alchemy.

Mu Xiaofeng guessed that Shi Changfeng must have a deeper meaning. Maybe he wanted him to ask for advice in person, or maybe it was more direct and easier to understand if he preached in person.

But now is not the time to ask, Mu Xiaofeng decided to ask Shi Changfeng about his understanding of alchemy when he has the chance in the future.

Now Mu Xiaofeng is preparing to refine all the low-level spiritual herbs on him into pills.

He had collected a large number of spiritual herbs below the seventh level in the Great Wonderful Spiritual Realm, which Qingfeng didn't want.

He did it right away. Mu Xiaofeng moved his spiritual sense and easily melted a handful of spiritual herbs into spiritual liquid.

With Mu Xiaofeng's current spiritual power, refining first-level spiritual herbs is naturally a piece of cake.

Mu Xiaofeng transformed low-level spiritual herbs into low-level elixirs.
