My new book has reached 16th on the charts, still one spot away from making it to the homepage. Please help me out, those with red tickets can give me a red ticket, and those without can give me a collection. Thank you everyone!
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be so eager to take you as my disciple." Xiang Tian paused for a moment, then continued: "The increase in the number of turns of the Nine Revolutions Soul Cauldron is directly related to the strength of one's soul. So, whoever says that the stronger one's soul is, the easier it is to cultivate. Therefore, there are only two methods to accelerate its turning speed."
"One of them is to refine more elixirs. As I mentioned earlier, the elixir energy produced when the elixir is formed can upgrade the soul level, and the higher the level of refining elixirs, the more upgrades will be obtained. However, this method has a high cost, although the elixir can be sold out, but the medicinal materials are not always available at any time, which limits the speed of upgrading."
"Is it another way of enhancing one's spiritual strength?" Zhang Cheng connected the dots from before and couldn't help but speculate.
"That's right, that's exactly why I'm so eager to take you as my apprentice, because only you can possibly bring this kung fu to its ultimate level," said Xiang Tian.
"So that's it!" Zhang Cheng finally understood why Xiang Tian had been acting so strangely before and suddenly wanted to take him as his apprentice.
"Then I have another question, what's the use of this transfer number?"
"The higher the number of turns, the higher the level of alchemy that can be achieved, and at the same time, the factors that contribute to the elixir gaining sentience also increase. My current level has reached three turns, yellow soul cauldron, so the probability of successfully brewing an elixir and giving it sentience is only 30%. If I can break through to the fourth turn, I may be able to reach 40%, do you understand?" Xiang Tian replied.
"I see." Zhang Cheng nodded, but he had some doubts in his heart and asked: "But isn't it said that only those who have both fire and wood attributes can refine elixirs with vitality? Can people without these two attributes do it too?"
"That's not it, to refine a Dan medicine with life, you must have the fire and wood two innate attributes, otherwise, even if you master the Jiuzhuan Soul Cauldron, it's useless." Xiang Tian replied.
"Hey Master, can you see if I have the Fire and Wood attribute talents?" Zhang Cheng became tense, previously Dan Chenzi only said he had the Fire attribute, whether or not he had Wood he didn't know.
"What? Didn't your previous master test you before?" Xiang Tian asked, as a matter of fact, the first condition for a cultivator to accept an apprentice is to test their attributes.
"No, because of some things, I haven't returned to the Menpai with him yet, so I haven't tested it out. However, I know that my body has a natural affinity for fire attributes." Zhang Cheng replied.
"Oh, I see. Well, let me tell you clearly, you also have the Wood attribute in your body. Since I possess both Fire and Wood attributes, I can sense your situation. As for other innate attributes, I couldn't feel them." Xiang Tian replied.
"Great!" Zhang Cheng had previously heard Dan Chenzi say that the most ideal physique for cultivating alchemy was to have both fire and wood attributes, and he was worried that he only had one of them. Now his worries were finally dispelled.
"There is a spirit stone in this storage ring, you try it out, and it's also good to determine how you cultivate afterwards." Xiang Tian pointed at the storage ring and said.
"Is this ring really a storage ring?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback, and immediately took the ring to his own front, carefully observing it.
Because of what Xiang Tian did before, he naturally thought that Xiang Tian's previous words about the ring storing objects were meant to deceive him. Now hearing this again, he immediately knew that it was indeed a storage ring.
He knew the function of the storage ring after watching it before, and every time it was quiet at night, he fantasized that if he could get a storage ring like this, then stealing girls' underwear... uh, putting things away would be much more convenient.
Who would have thought that after coming to this world for just a few years, I got one myself. Although it can't be taken back to Earth, it's still a small excitement.
"Of course, didn't I tell you before? Besides, this ring has already recognized you as its master, so you can use it directly." Xiang Tian replied.
"How does this thing work?" Zhang Cheng put the ring on his hand, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.
"It's very simple, just think about entering the ring and you can." Xiang Tian replied.
"Ah!" As he spoke, Zhang Cheng followed Xiang Tian's reminder and started pressing the ring. Then, thinking about entering the thought in his mind, suddenly, the scene in front of him changed, a space of over 100 cubic meters appeared before his eyes.
Moreover, this space of over a hundred cubic meters was divided into several areas, one of which had various dan bottles on display, containing quite a few dan medicines.
In another area, various weapons were placed, including knives, guns, swords and so on. The eighteen kinds of weapons were basically all there, and the number was not small. There were also some that emitted a strong aura.
"This should be the treasure!" Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, then turned around these weapons and looked towards other areas.
There is also an area where some small flags are placed. Zhang Cheng remembers that this chess piece and the ones that Dan Chenzi used to treat him in the past look very similar.
Then there are some strange and weird things, at first glance, it's hard to tell what they're used for.
Then he searched for another half day, but still couldn't find the so-called Lingzhi stone of Dan Chenzi. He retreated and asked: "Master, what does the Lingzhi stone look like and where is it? Why can't I see it?"
"The spirit stone is in the last miscellaneous goods area, that thing that looks like a crystal ball." Xiang Tian replied.
"Oh!" Zhang Cheng responded with a sound, once again entering the storage ring, finding that test spirit stone, and then asked: "Is it this thing?"
"Yes, you hold it with both hands and don't think about anything else!" Xiang Tian reminded.
"Good!" Zhang Cheng responded, then placed the crystal ball between his hands, calming his mind and clearing his thoughts. He stared at the crystal ball, quietly waiting.
After a while, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a warm and powerful energy seeping out of the crystal ball, drilling into his hands, then wandering around his body before returning to the crystal ball again.
Suddenly, the crystal ball lit up with a strange red glow, and after the red glow was a green light.
"Fire and wood, it seems I'm indeed born with the right materials for alchemy." Zhang Cheng smiled happily upon reading this.
But his smile had not yet disappeared when suddenly another ray of light flashed, and upon closer inspection, the crystal ball shone with a yellowish-brown light once again.
"It seems that you have not only fire and wood attributes, but also earth attribute, great!" Xiang Tian said with a brightened eyes.
"I have three innate attributes, how is this possible!" Zhang Cheng looked at the measuring spirit stone in his hand with an unbelievable expression.
It is said that Danchenzi told him before, the innate attributes shown by ordinary people are either one or two, and it can be said that there are no other possibilities. Even if there were, due to the principle of the five elements restraining each other, the possibility of such a person surviving would be extremely small, and only exist in legend.
But at this moment, he himself had three innate attributes. Was it said that he was the legendary person who existed only in legend?
"How could it be impossible? Although due to the reasons of the five elements generating and overcoming each other, it's impossible for someone to possess four attributes at the same time. However, people with three attributes do exist, just like you - fire, wood, and earth, which don't overcome but generate each other. Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, they don't affect each other, instead, they can promote each other. It's a rare cultivation system that's hard to come by in a thousand years. Plus, you possess the Soul Cultivation Method, it's like having all the favors of heaven and earth on one person. I'm even a bit envious of you. Fortunately, you're my disciple, otherwise, I would definitely be unable to resist taking over your body." Xiang Tian said excitedly.
"I didn't expect that either!" Zhang Cheng was also excited, after all, he hadn't expected that this body, which he had once not wanted, would have such good qualifications.
Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "Does a person who possesses all five elemental attributes exist?"
