Chapter 53

The old woman came back to her senses, stared at Ning Cheng, shook her head and said, "I do have a basic jade slip for alchemy, but I won't give it to you. I'm not reluctant, it's for your own good. Presumably not more than twenty years old? You can cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Gathering before the age of twenty. Although he is not a genius, it is not easy in Pingzhou.

With your progress, if you can leave Pingzhou in the future, coupled with your own efforts and some opportunities, you may not be able to achieve Xuandan. If you are distracted and go to study the Tao of Pills, I am afraid that this life will only be condensed. Dan Dao, you can learn it if you want to learn it. Listen to my words. "

Ning Cheng thought of his Xuanhuangzhu, and said with some unwillingness, "Senior, I am sure that I will not delay my cultivation."

The old woman smiled indifferently, "Any cultivator who wants to make alchemy has this certainty. Pill Dao and Tool Dao are, in the final analysis, trails, and also serve the purpose of cultivation. If it is not for advancing to a higher level, no one is willing to go to alchemy. But all the All of you have been blinded by this little path. Since it is all about cultivation in the final analysis, why not put all your energy on cultivation? If one day, you can see all the mountains and small mountains, and the alchemist will not dare to concoct alchemy for you? Are there any refiners who dare not help you refine them?"

When Ning Cheng heard this, his heart suddenly became hot. It was the first time he heard people say that the Tao of Pill is a trail, and the Tao of Qi is also a trail. But he felt that the old woman didn't seem to be wrong. If one day, he could see all the mountains and mountains, which alchemist would not dare to concoct alchemy for him?

However, without medicinal herbs, how could he see the mountains and mountains? The fiery mood that had just woken up cooled down again.

The old woman seemed to know what Ning Cheng was thinking, and she said again, "The real powerful medicinal pills in this world are not made by people, but are born from nature. If one day, you can find these natural medicines. Long-lived spirits are countless times stronger than any medicinal pills. If you only rely on artificially refined medicinal medicinal herbs to cultivate, you cannot eliminate the medicinal erysipelas, and you will always be second-rate. "

"Senior means that as long as you are a cultivator, there is no need to go to alchemy?" Ning Cheng asked in confusion.

The old woman shook her head again and said, "No, it's just that you are not suitable for alchemy. You are just a loose cultivator, even if your aptitude is against the sky, so what? Fire and excellent opportunities. You don't have either. If you go to alchemy just to advance to Ningzhen, you are going in the wrong direction. If you want to alchemy, you can, and you can wait until you feel that your cultivation can no longer improve. Come to me. However, I believe that at that time, you were no longer in the mood to make alchemy."

Ning Cheng sighed, he knew that the old woman was right. What he relies on is only Xuanhuangzhu, and Xuanhuangzhu cannot give birth to countless spiritual herbs out of thin air. It seemed that even if he wanted to concoct alchemy, he would not be able to pass this old woman.

"Come back in ten days to get the Seven Lights Ice Needle, and I will definitely be able to refine it for you." Seeing Ning Cheng bowing his head in thought, the old woman didn't care what Ning Cheng thought, and directly issued an expulsion order.

"Yes, this junior is saying goodbye." After Ning Cheng walked out of the old woman's bungalow, he had already put aside the matter of alchemy.

In any case, even if he is learning alchemy now, he will not be able to refine the Qi Gathering Pill in time. If he wants to advance to Ningzhen, he must think of a way. There are so many Ningzhen monks, not everyone is an alchemist.

...

Ning Cheng didn't go to Mingpu Square to test the spirit root, he had to wait until he got the Seven Lights Ice Needle. And after passing through that old woman, Ning Cheng no longer had the slightest confidence in his concealment.

He simply stayed in the resting stack and practiced his own hidden cultivation technique.

Ten days passed in a flash. During these ten days, Ning Cheng not only corrected the concealment technique he had obtained from the old woman, but also completely learned a new concealment technique.

On the tenth day, Ning Cheng couldn't wait to arrive outside the bungalow in the small alley. However, when he found that the door of the bungalow was locked, Ning Cheng was shocked. Could it be that this old woman who looked like his predecessors could deceive him? This is absolutely impossible, right?

"Excuse me, did you come to find Aunt Gongsun to get something?" A hesitant voice sounded from the door opposite the bungalow, and Ning Cheng turned around and saw a very ugly boy with rolled lips and narrow eyes.

"Yes, I was looking for Aunt Gongsun. Where did Aunt Gongsun go?" Ning Cheng quickly replied. At the same time, he felt that the name of Aunt Gongsun was really familiar. He had heard of it when he was on Earth, but he also knew that it would definitely not be the same person.

Hearing Ning Cheng's words, the extremely ugly young man immediately grinned, then entered the room and took out a small wooden box and handed it to Ning Cheng, "Aunt Gongsun handed this to me before she left, she said, do you want Everything is here, I hope you can do what you can."

Ning Cheng took the jade box and thanked him, but he didn't understand. He just asked Mrs. Gongsun to make a Seven Lights Ice Needle. What can this thing do?

Although he was eager to know what his Seven Lights Ice Needle looked like, Ning Cheng restrained his excitement and rushed back to his residence with the wooden box.

After returning to the residence, Ning Cheng first arranged a shielding formation, and then carefully opened the wooden box.

There is also a small crystal box inside the wooden box, and there is a mass of things next to the crystal box. Ning Cheng didn't care about the thing next to him, he took the crystal box in his hand and opened it.

A thin needle that was almost invisible to the naked eye was lying in the crystal box, and it seemed to disappear at any time.

"Good needle." Ning Cheng exclaimed in amazement. He immediately understood that this was definitely a Seven Lights Ice Needle magic weapon that exceeded his expectations.

Ning Cheng held the fine needle in his hand, and a feeling of wanting to refine it came to his heart. Without any hesitation, Ning Cheng immediately closed his eyes and began refining the fine needles in his hands.

A day later, Ning Cheng opened his eyes again in surprise, and the thin needle in his hand had disappeared. The thin needle has been stuck to the inside of his sleeve, completely communicating with him.

At this moment, Ning Cheng absolutely did not believe that the old woman was not an artifact refiner. The level of this fine needle was higher than that of his flying sword. It was simply a top-quality instrument.

A person who can refine top-quality instruments, can he not be an instrument refiner?

Ning Cheng was overjoyed, but he forgot that there was still a lump in the wooden box, and he continued to practice the Seven Lights Ice Needle spell with the fine needles in his hands.

It wasn't until he was very hungry that he realized that the day had passed like this again. Ning Cheng was even more pleasantly surprised that he had this thin needle. Once facing the enemy, he used the Thirty-Six Swords of Xuanbing to echo the Seven Luminaries Ice Needle. Even a cultivator of Ningzhen would have a hard time escaping when he was sneak attacked.

Today, he finally has some ability to protect himself. Ning Cheng became more and more grateful to the old woman, even Ge Fei, Ning Cheng felt that he had more than ten Qi Gathering Stones. Even if it is given two spirit stones, it will be less.

When Ning Cheng put away the Seven Lights Ice Needle and was about to go out to eat, he remembered that there was an item in the wooden box. He hurriedly picked up the ball and shook it, only to find that it was an extremely thin body.

Ning Cheng recognized it immediately, it was a defensive armor made from the skin of a one-horned Jiaojiao. At the same time, he also understood what was going on. It should be that the old woman felt that there were a lot of Jiao skins, so she helped him refine an inner armor.

After Ning Cheng took off his coat and put on his inner armor, he felt extremely comfortable all over. I was even more grateful to the old woman in my heart.

The empty wooden box Ning Cheng had not thrown away, in his opinion, it was like owed the old woman a favor. Originally, people could have given it to him without having to give it to the inner armour, but they gave it. At the same time, Ning Cheng also felt that the old woman said that he should not learn alchemy now, which is not unreasonable.

...

Mingpu Plaza is located on the periphery of Mingxin College, which belongs to the common place of Mingxin College and Mingyi Zhenguo. Not only is there a huge square here, but it is also the most enlightened spiritual root testing ground in the entire Ming Yi Kingdom. If it is normal, it would take a lot of gold coins to test Linggen in Mingpu Square, but in recent months, not a single gold coin is needed. Everyone can test for free, because these months are when Mingxin College recruits students.

The number of people in Mingpu Square has been increasing these days, and today it is even more crowded. Almost all the monks and many people in Nanyuan City have come here. Because today is the day when Mingxin Academy recruits disciples, as long as Linggen meets the conditions and passes the test, then they can enter Mingxin Academy.

Ning Cheng followed a large number of people into the Linggen Testing Hall in Mingpu Square. Today, he had taken off his face-covering monk hat. However, under his deliberate dressing, he looks older, and even his beard looks a bit vicissitudes.

Because today is the day when Mingxin College selects students, there are not many people in the Linggen test hall. Most people have already tested the spirit root.

Ning Cheng had seen the spiritual root test tool for a long time. He walked directly to the test tool and said to the person in charge of the test, "I want to test the spiritual root."

"Put your hand in the groove and use some infuriating energy." The person in charge of testing the spiritual root said weakly.

Ning Cheng didn't say much, just put his hand into the test groove, and at the same time put some infuriating energy into it. Four thin yellow lines rose up on the crystal column, and the four thin lines rose very slowly, but did not stop. Ning Cheng took his hand away when the four thin lines reached three or four feet.

The person who tested the spirit root didn't care about Ning Cheng's small actions at all, and threw out a wooden sign lazily and said, "The four-line miscellaneous spirit root is qualified to enter."

"Thank you, may I ask what are my four spiritual roots?" Ning Cheng's heart was pounding, and he quickly grabbed the jade token and asked. Only he knew in his own heart that he was clearly a three-line miscellaneous spiritual root, but after more than half a year, he turned into a four-line miscellaneous spiritual root.

The person who tested Linggen gave Ning Cheng a disdainful glance, "If you are qualified to be selected, you don't need to ask. I am only responsible for testing whether you are qualified to enter. You are just barely able to enter the gate of the academy."

The implication is that your spiritual root is so rubbish, and you have the face to ask what spiritual root is?
