The 27th chapter: A peerless demon beast appears!
The Royal Demon Seal is also divided into four grades: lower, middle, upper and absolute. The Alchemy Seal is one of the Royal Demon Seals, and it has a similar classification. A high-quality Alchemy Seal can be compared to an absolute-grade demon beast egg in value.
Because of alchemy seals, different from demon beast eggs. Demon beast eggs can only benefit one person, while alchemy seals can bring blessings to the masses.
In Chu Yun's memory, a medium-grade alchemy seal could make people rush forward without hesitation, like moths to flames, and feel extremely satisfied after obtaining it. A high-grade alchemy seal was a national treasure, and ordinary alchemists would not easily show it to others.
Now, Shi Jiaming is actually going to pass on his superior alchemy seal?
In an instant, her heart was racing with excitement!
There's no reason not to be excited. In his past life, he didn't even have a way to learn the basics of alchemy, let alone get a good alchemical imprint. Now that he's been reborn, a top-notch alchemical imprint has been delivered right in front of him.
He didn't suspect Shi Jiaming's sincerity at all. A person with such a temperament would never speak nonsense or make groundless accusations.
"Brother Shi, you indeed have a remarkable background. A high-quality alchemy manual, and you're willing to give it away just like that." Chu Yun sighed, but then suddenly changed the subject, "However, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your kindness, sorry about that."
This answer was beyond Jin Bi Han's expectation. The latter widened her eyes as clear as the moon and immediately asked, "Why?"
"It's too valuable, I don't dare to accept it. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If I accept it, I'll owe you a favor. Favors are often the hardest to repay." Chu Yun smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, looking at Jin Bi Han with profound meaning in his eyes.
Jin Bi Han did not expect that under such temptation, Chu Yun could hold on. For a moment, her jade hands subconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her teeth bit her lower lip. Being directly rejected like this, she was flustered in her heart and blurted out: "But you already owe me a favor."
"There are big and small favors. Besides, there's a saying that goes 'No news is good news', either a thief or a liar." Chu Yun immediately replied, her smile reflected in the clear and calm eyes like still water.
Jin Bi Han was so angry that her teeth itched, she hadn't expected that the first time she tried to recruit someone, she would make such a heavy bet, only to be thoroughly rejected by Chu Yun.
What is called "either a thief or a fornicator"?
Could it be that I, the proud Princess of Dunhuang, have taken a liking to your elegant and refined appearance, and wish to steal your heart?
"I'm done with you!" With a mix of shame and anger, Jin Bi Han stomped her foot, huffed and puffed, turned around abruptly, and quickened her pace as she walked away.
Chu Yun smiled faintly and followed her from behind, walking quickly.
The top-grade alchemy seal, to be honest, he almost drooled on the spot. A precious treasure, a truly precious treasure. But wanting to obtain it without paying a huge price is simply a pipe dream!
Memories and tempering from his past life had long made him calm in nature, not blinded by greedy desires that obscured the eyes of reason.
"What I need most now is to focus on practicing my basic skills and solidifying my foundation. Moreover, I also know a thing or two about high-quality alchemy, hidden in the depths of the treacherous terrain... but my current strength is still too weak, even if I were to reach that place, I wouldn't gain anything, instead I would lose my life."
As soon as he thought of the treasures hidden in his memories, Chu Yun's heart surged with an increasingly strong impulse. Following Jin Bi Han, they walked into the bedroom one after another, and Chu Yun didn't relax for a moment. First, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, holding his knife and meditating. Then, he continued to bitterly practice the basic alchemy seals.
From the start of self-study, there has been no relaxation, and now there has been significant progress. The 7 hand seals are remembered very firmly, and when performing them, they are more than ten times more proficient than at first.
Jin Bi Han initially had a stifling aura, the majestic Princess of Dunhuang, with golden branches and jade leaves, having everything she wanted, who dared to refuse?
This time, she hadn't even spoken yet when Chu Yun rejected her. It was naturally hard for her to accept.
However, as Chu Yun silently cultivated herself in the quiet surroundings, she couldn't help but reflect on herself. She was intelligent and not a spoiled princess, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and after understanding, she felt that Chu Yun was not simple.
Put yourself in their shoes, cherish the present, and definitely promise to come down immediately. Only Chu Yun realized that it was not good, and resolutely refused. Not only has foresight, but also a steady temperament, not easily tempted by benefits. Such a talent, once recruited, will surely be loyal and won't worry about being easily turned against by the enemy.
Watching Chu Yun's persistent practice of hand seals, Jin Bi Han's desire to recruit him grew even stronger. Impatience was not an option; he should bide his time and plan carefully.
Princess Dunhuang's thoughts were quick-witted, and she immediately began to change her strategy. She opened her mouth to suggest to Chu Yun: "You're forcing yourself to practice so hard, it's easy to hurt your body and mind. If you continue to practice like this, I'm afraid that by tomorrow, you'll only be able to lie in bed sick."
"What you said is right. Every handprint can trigger the fluctuation of spiritual light in the body. Long-term practice puts a great burden on the body. I now feel physically exhausted, hungry and dizzy, and my spirit is also somewhat depressed. However, as long as it doesn't exceed the physical limit, it won't trigger any illness. After resting for a night, I will be fine."
Chu Yun let out a sigh, in fact he had also anticipated this problem. After another bitter practice session, he reached his physical limit and only then did he stop.
Jin Bi Han shook her head and smiled lightly: "Actually, practicing hand seals also has a shortcut. I can tell you."
"Oh?" Chu Yun's eyes lit up, he knew that the other party had a big background, and it was not surprising to have a shortcut.
"Generally speaking, practicing the Demon-Sealing Technique will cause spiritual light to fluctuate. The longer one practices, the more strain it puts on both body and soul. When this strain accumulates to a critical point, it can lead to injury. To reduce this strain, demon-sealers will often use external objects to rest and indirectly extend their cultivation time."
"I recommend that you take Wēn Yù Dān to warm and nourish your soul. Apply Qīng Líng Gāo to nourish your body. Although these two medicines are mild in nature, they should still be used once every other day as they are three parts medicine and one part poison. The best approach is to supplement through diet. You should eat dishes with claws, such as stir-fried quail claws, sautéed fragrant pig's trotters, golden crispy duck feet, etc."
Chu Yun nodded involuntarily.
Medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements, medicinal supplements have toxicity, and dietary supplements have no toxic harm. Generally speaking, eating what you want to supplement is the way to go. However, this approach costs a lot more. Chu Yun has just obtained 4 new credits, bringing her total to 6 credits. Exchanging these rare elixirs and ingredients will deplete them in just a few days.
"Besides that, it's best to collect the monkey-type demonic beasts. The spiritual energy they bring back can make your fingers agile and your thinking sharp. Some special spider-type demonic beasts also have this effect."
Increase demonic beast?
Chu Yun shook his head secretly, he didn't have the leisure to take care of new demon beasts now. Moreover, he had a top-grade Tian Hu, whose returned spiritual energy could also make his thinking sharp and his limbs nimble. It was just that the effect was not as good as that of the top-grade monkey-type demon beast.
Of course, compared with the superior demon monkey, the effect is naturally better than before.
"What I've said so far is just the limit of ordinary people. Here, I have another method, but it's risky. It depends on whether you dare to try it or not, Brother Chu." Jin Bi Han suddenly smiled and said.
"What method?"
Jin Bi Han slapped her waist, and a small pouch appeared. Suddenly, a small, palm-sized butterfly emerged. Its body was a bright, emerald green color, like jade, and its wings shone with a golden light, combining to create an exquisite beauty. As it flapped its wings, the surrounding space sparkled with glittering gold-green stars.
