0798_ Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Apart from me, those who came to watch Chiwuzong's refinement included Jianzong, Jiantianmen, Kunlunmen, and Wangshengmenmen.

I got together with Jianzong and Gutianmen, and Kunlun and Wangshengmen were on one side. The three of us formed a triangle around Chiwuzong.

Kunlun came here from sword cultivator Shang Yun, and all of them Kunlun came here this time were violent occupations, and they couldn't carry out refining work like Chi Wuzong and Wangshengmen, but Shang Yun didn't seem to be upset or minded about it. , very calm, I don't know if it's just pretending.

I was secretly trying to figure out Kunlun's mentality, and Jian Zong Shangjiang said, "I think something is wrong. Based on my observations so far, the secret consciousness of this secret realm is very straightforward: to attack aliens and enrich oneself. That is to benefit oneself at the expense of others. Then it piled up a lot of materials here to force people to refine tools and alchemy, what did it get from it?"

Me: "The spiritual power consumed during the refining process? Does it eat the spiritual power of living people?"

Shang Jiang: "If you want to force people to consume spiritual power, why let the refining succeed? If the material changes slightly in the middle, the refining will fail, and the alchemy tool repair and their guardians will consume more spiritual power..."

Shang Jiang suddenly stopped, his face changed slightly.

I said at the same time as Gu Tianmen: "The law of the operation of spiritual power."

Wu Yi looked up at the sky, but the sky in the secret realm had no stars, it was gray, and there seemed to be something hidden.

Wu Yi looked up for a while and said, "All our actions are strengthening this secret realm."

My monk Jiang also raised his head, but soon he could only lower his head silently.I asked Wu Yi: "I don't feel that I am weak anymore, so the so-called strengthening is just spiritual power consumption and some material consumption. Normal spiritual power consumption is not harmful, but material consumption," I indicated Chiwu Zong Qixiuna Bian, "It seems that it can be supplemented."

Wu Yi: "It can be considered as a complement if you can really take it out."

Shang Jiang: "Do you suspect that before we go out, these alchemy utensils will be swallowed by the secret realm?"

Wu Yi: "Or if you encounter some unexpected situation, you have to consume it. For example, more weird attacks that are difficult to deal with can only be resisted by things refined from materials in the secret territory."

"Strengthening in the cycle..." I thought for a while, "The Chiwuzong and the Gate of Rebirth must have observed the refining results of the Medicine School before making a move. The Chiwuzong may be impulsive, but the Gate of Rebirth definitely will not They should have considered the possible negative consequences after seeing the results of the Medicine Sect, but they still followed closely behind..."

Shang Jiang: "In other words, they judge that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Wu Yi: "So we should also try refining? But I don't know how to do this."

Shang Jiang: "I don't know how either. I don't even know how to make alchemy."

Me: "I know a thing or two, but I can't figure out how to completely balance these materials."

0799_Cooperation

Shang Jiang: "If it's just to calculate the balance, I can help. I know a little about planting. I think the refining materials of elixir are more spiritual plants. Add some soil and water... I can try it."

Wu Yi: "I have dabbled a little bit in adjusting the balance of the magic circle."

The three of us decided to work together to refine tools and alchemy.

I guess the three of Kunlun might also try this way.In Yunxia Sect, no profession is ignorant of other professions in this sect, and Kunlun, who has a deeper foundation, will only be more extensive than Yunxia Sect in this respect: it may not be necessary to do it personally, but at least it has some understanding.

Moreover, with Kunlun's strength, it is a bit strange that none of the three disciples sent to explore the secret realm is an auxiliary class. After all, with the ability of Kunlun's disciples, it should be more confident for two violent professions to protect one auxiliary profession. It is also more conducive to exerting the power of the 'team'.What is the difference between three purely violent professions doing their own thing and only one?One plus one can't be greater than two, it doesn't reflect the number advantage.

So I guess, among the three people from Kunlun, at least two, maybe even three of them all have minor occupations.Pills, utensils, talismans, formations, planting, etc., are all possible.It's just that the minor is not specialized, so they can't find the correct refining method as quickly as the Medicine School and the others. However, now that they have watched the correct demonstration, they can probably do it by themselves.

My monk Jiang and Wu Yi went to observe the refining sites of Medicine Sect and Rebirth Gate, and then prepared to do it ourselves.

In the process of watching, we also found that the material attack encountered by the Yaozong is much weaker than that of the Gate of Death and Chiwuzong, which is only about one-third of the latter.This may be because the Medicine Sect only refines pills, and only attacks the raw materials of the pills; while the Gate of Rebirth and the Chiwu School are alchemy tool cultivators who refine together not far from each other, and the raw materials of the pills and the raw materials of the magic tools are gathered together. When they got together, they cooperated with each other to launch an attack.

In addition, Zhongsumen, Yanxingmen and Yaomeng also seem to have reached a cooperation agreement, and they may also try to refine it.

But more importantly, the mutual positions of the three refining sites of Medicine Sect, Rebirth Gate and Chiwu Sect, I found that their positions are constantly changing through the temporary spiritual power group. Of course, this is normal. In this secret realm, you can't directly confront the attack, you can only hide, and you will definitely move while hiding.

But when the problem arises, the direction of their movement looks like they are about to form an equilateral triangle.

0800_How clever?

Using the temporary spiritual power group to locate is actually taking myself as the origin, judging their relative positions to me, and then further calculating the relative positions of the three of them.I have guessed before that there is a space folding phenomenon in this secret realm, so this method of indirectly judging relative positions may cause problems.

For example, there are three independent spaces A, B, and C, and the three spaces produce an intersection point, which is the only connected part of the three spaces.If I happen to be at that intersection point, and the Medicine Sect, the Gate of Rebirth, and the Chiwu School are respectively located in spaces A, B, and C, I use myself as a reference to judge how far the Medicine Sect is from me and in which direction, and the Gate of Rebirth is far away from me. How many meters and in which direction, so I directly calculated the distance between the medicine sect and the gate of death based on their being in the same space, which must be wrong, because they are in three different independent spaces. At this intersection point where I am, I can then enter other spaces, instead of directly jumping from any position in space A to any position in space B.

What I mean is that it is unreliable to use the spiritual power group to judge the position of everyone in an environment where space is distorted and spiritual power is disturbed.It’s just that the equilateral triangle is a shape that doesn’t seem like a coincidence, which makes me a little bit concerned, and I found that the three people from Medicine Sect, Gushengmen, Chiwuzong, Kunlun, and me acted together, and the three people from Zhongsumen moved together , plus casual cultivators together, they were just divided into seven groups.

The number seven also has a lot of tricks.

If the seven groups of us refine together...

I contacted Mu Piaoyan, the ghost cultivator, and told her that several people had already successfully refined the elixir and magic weapon, and asked her if she had any plans to refine the elixir.

Mu Piaoyan: "Refining alchemy? No."

I breathed a sigh of relief, but Mu Piaoyan continued: "I'm putting a fake shell on Zhuang Cong, so that the secret realm will treat him as a ghost, and I'm about to succeed."

Me: "...Is this fake shell hard to put on?"

Mu Piaoyan: "It's not difficult, it's just very troublesome. I started doing this shortly after we separated, and I haven't finished it until now. The main reason is that I can't finish it continuously in one go, because if I do it too fast, Zhuang Cong will Can't take it."

Me: "How long do you think it will take?"

Mu Piaoyan: "Maybe three to five days, no more than seven days at most."

What a coincidence, I also feel that it takes three to five days for our temporary team to refine the elixir or magic weapon like a cat.

0801_ To practice or not to practice

"Is there any problem?" Mu Piaoyan asked.

I told her the situation that the seven groups are currently or are about to refine things.

Mu Piaoyan: "Pass through seven high-risk areas and enter a safe area."

Me: "I'm afraid that seven refiners summoned a high-risk area."

Mu Piaoyan: "You can also choose not to refine."

It makes sense.After I hung up the communication, I asked Wu Yi whether it was better to refine or not.

Shang Jiang interjected in a matter-of-fact manner: "Those alchemy cultivators are basically the peak group in the foundation-building stage of the entire comprehension world, and they have only successfully refined since entering the secret realm, especially the guy from the Medicine Sect, who refused your help before." At that time, there should have been a feasible draft for refining, and it took so long to succeed. Do you think we can really refine it in a few days with our half-assed efforts? Even if we have seen all the refining materials , the order of placing materials, the pressure and release of spiritual power during the refining process... But we don’t know the specific operation of spiritual power, the sorting of spiritual power when a certain material is processed. What’s more, we can’t copy the refining materials.”

Hmm, that's right, it's hard to cook by yourself just by watching other people cook, especially the master chef won't tell you how to make the extra sauce and where to buy the dishes.What's more, if the dishes are not cooked well, it will be unpalatable at worst. Most people don't know how to turn vegetables into poison, but if there are problems in refining, it is common for pills to become poison and magic weapons to become bombs.

Even if you know exactly how a certain alchemy works with all the spiritual power when refining a certain medicine, it's useless, because different people's spiritual power is different. The method of spiritual power operation when making elixirs is absolutely necessary to fry the furnace. Even if the refining method of alchemy is copied from the same ice root, some people's ice root embodies the meaning of clarity, while others embody the meaning of coldness. I mean, I still have to fry it if I copy it.

Everyone's spiritual power pattern is different. When refining, you must fine-tune the general refining according to your own spiritual power, otherwise the low-grade and inferior medicine will be the best result.

It is impossible for people who do not understand pills and magic tools to refine such medicines and magic tools. Just like talismans, in the eyes of people who don't understand, they are just messy ghostly drawn symbols. Let alone creating them yourself, even if you copy them You have to get the lines wrong in painting—it’s another matter to hit the big luck, make mistakes, and make mistakes.
