Legend of the Great Saint

Chapter 148

Making Pills and Weapons

Qian Rongzhi felt that Li Qingshan was so weird that he was not like a young man . And the more she knew him, the more she thought he had a special mind different from common people . Considering for a while, she explained with a smile, “There are five formulas for refining Qi up to the tenth level, which are the most famous . ”

“Which five?” hearing such important information, Li Qingshan raised his spirit and listened to her carefully . Qian Rongcheng was born in a small family, but Qian Yannian, well-informed, had ever practiced in a big sect according to some information Li had known .

Qian Rongzhi said, “Do you know that everyone has five elements in his body?”

“Do you mean five internal organs including heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney?”

Qian Rongzhi said, “It is not as simple as the five internal organs . The study of the five elements is very esoteric that I can’t make it clear now . While, everyone can choose one of them to practice, specializing in one element . If so, the speed of refining Qi will be greatly increased . There are many ways to practice the true Qi of five elements . Among them, the most famous five formulas are Seventh Gold Ferocious Qi Formula, Second Wood Generating Qi Formula, Tenth Water Agglomerating Qi Formula, Third Fire Burning Qi Formula and Fifth Earth Fixing Qi Formula . ”

Except some special sects, many of the big sects would advise their disciples to choose one of the five formulas to practice .

Before, Li Qingshan wondered about what kind of formula he should choose to practice after “Innate Refining Qi Tactic” . While, he had a vague direction now . He did not have blind faith in those legendary formulas, but he believed the survival of the fittest .

A famous formula was usually one that had been verified by countless people and even improved by many generations . So it must be suitable for most people . What was more, there were much experience from the people had practiced the formula . As the saying went, the method suitable for most people was really great .

Li Qingshan asked, “Is it all right to practice any kind of true Qi?”

Qian Rongzhi replied, “Of course not . Everyone has a different preference of attributes . In the big sects, there is a method to test one’s attribute . Then you can choose the most suitable method for your own practice . But it is heard that some unique talents can refine two or even three kinds of true Qi at the same time . Therefore, they have more true Qi than the same-level practitioners having only one true Qi, and it is easier for them to break through the realm . ”

“Why are you suddenly so kind?” Li Qingshan wondered why Qian Rongzhi didn’t ask for anything .

Qian Rongzhi smiled, “I'm always a kind girl!” Li Qingshan was noncommittal on this .

Qian Rongzhi said, “Well, if you don't believe me, I can teach you the method of making pills . ”

Li Qingshan asked, “Do you really ask for nothing?”

Qian Rongzhi said, “Yep . ”

Li Qingshan said, “That’s great!” though he didn’t seem so happy .

Qian Rongzhi began to teach him, “As for the method of making pills, there are three basic things . The first is the material . There are thousands of strange materials from the most common herbs to the most precious elixirs .

The second is the method . Every kind of pills has a particular method of making it, with a very accurate requirement for materials and the time . The third is the tripod, or the flame . By refining the materials according to the method to produce pills, the process is so-called pill-making . ”

Li Qingshan listened attentively . Unconsciously, with four hours passing, he finally had a basic understanding of pill-making . It was indeed broad and profound . Even spending a lifetime of hard work, he might not be able to master it . And now he just had a superficial knowledge of it, and hadn’t learnt the rudiments of it .

Qian Rong said, “These are all I know about pill-making . If you want to continue to study it, you’d better find some better person than me . ” Li Qingshan nodded slightly .

Qian Rongzhi pointed to the tripod next to her, “Do you wanna try it? There are still a lot of herbs . ”

Li Qingshan was slightly stunned, wondering whether she really had become good . After learning so much knowledge about pill-making, he was itching for a chance . So he sat in front of the tripod, personally manipulating it to make pills under the guidance of Qian Rongzhi . While . It was a pity that, because of the rampant fire, a tripod of Qi condensation pills were ruined .

Qian Rongzhi, however, did not feel regret at all or blame him, but encourage him to try again .

Li Qingshan said nothing, continuing to try . Due to his pure true Qi, he used it with ease as he wished . In the process of making pills, he used it more skillfully . After ruining two tripods of pills, he finally succeeded . Withdrawing his hands, he took a deep breath and smiled .

Qian Rongzhi praised him .

Looking up at the sky, Li Qingshan found that it was dawn . Unexpectedly, the night had been at its end . He stood up, took out a few bottles of Qi condensation pills and put them on the ground as the compensation for the wasted herbs and the tuition fees .

Watching Li Qingshan leave, Qian Rongzhi picked up the bottles filled with Qi condensation pills . Just as Li Qingshan who didn’t feel happy because of Qian’s generosity, there was not much joy on Qian’s face .

The information about the formulas of refining Qi with five elements and the basic method of making pills was in fact not a secret . The Qi condensation pills Li Qingshan had left were more than those he had ruined . Even if it was she who manipulated the tripod, she couldn’t succeed every time . So it was a good deal for her .

For an ordinary person, he would probably feel happy . But she felt something cold and extremely indifferent in Li’s behavior, which proved that he was unwilling to own her a favor . Whenever she dared to set a trap for him, he would not hesitate to kill her without mercy .

Once again failing in her plan, she knew that this guy was not a man who could be manipulated by human feelings . Didn’t he have a weakness which could be taken advantage of?

While, Li Qingshan did not think so much, just happy that he had learned a new skill . This road of cultivation was so long and extensive, and there were many mysteries waiting for him to explore, so it was not a bad thing no matter who he learned from .

In the cavity, the flame was still burning, in which Bone-burning Ashy Fire had accounted for about half .

Little An's bones became as bright and smooth as jade, more powerful than ever before .

The process of smelting all the bones had come to an end . And there were still hundreds of white bones in the cavity .

Little An did not stop smelting the white bones . Body-burning Bloody Fire and Bone-burning Ashy Fire were the basic spells in the book of Dao of Beautiful Bones, of which the biggest function was not to hurt or kill the enemy, but to cultivate . With Body-burning Bloody Fire, the essence of flesh and blood could be absorbed totally without any waste . While, Bone-burning Ashy Fire could refine bone fluid to strengthen the body .

In addition, there was a function, that is, to make weapons .

The practitioners practicing Dao of Beautiful Bones were different from others and the weapons they used were also very special . There was a part about refining weapons in the book, which recorded dozens of exclusive weapons .

The blood flag, the human skin robe, the skull beads and so on .

With hundreds of white bones, Little An intended to refine the skull beads, his first spiritual weapon made of bones!
