Chapter 20 Bing Xin Dan
In the dormitory, Xiao Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, observing the scroll in his hand. This scroll was the "Ten Thousand Thunders Body Refining" that Xiao Yun brought out from the library.
This body refining fighting skill, unlike other conventional fighting skills, has a detailed grade division. It is a very peculiar fighting skill that requires a very high physical quality of the practitioner, otherwise it is very likely to be buried under the thunder.
Ten Thousand Thunders Body Refining, as the name suggests, is to borrow the power of thunder between heaven and earth, constantly hammer one's body, and absorb the thunder power. When practicing for the first time, the practitioner needs to swallow a golden thunder flower in thunderstorm weather, thereby causing thunder to fall and hammer oneself.
But the golden thunder flower is a very rare spiritual plant, and its growth environment requirements are very strict. It can only grow in places where thunder and lightning intersect between heaven and earth. It has a unique appearance, showing golden petals, which exude the breath of thunder and lightning.
"This is somewhat similar to the method of training thunder in the original book, except that one is to train puppets, and the other is to train oneself. And if I want to practice this method, I must first find a place where thunder gathers, and second, I need a golden thunder flower."
Xiao Yun sat on the bed, muttering to himself in some annoyance.
Both are difficult to find. In the northwest, Xiao Yun has never heard of a place where thunder gathers, and the golden thunder flower is one of the medicinal ingredients of the sixth-grade elixir Fenglei Dan. This kind of thing is extremely expensive in the outside world and is extremely difficult to find.
"I wonder if the teacher knows where to find the information about these two." After thinking for a while, Xiao Yun still had no idea. He had to ask for help from his teacher, hoping that Elder Huo was knowledgeable and could give him some ideas.
Xiao Yun immediately stood up, tapped his feet, and landed on the ground. He opened the door and went to find Elder Huo.
...
Elder Huo was the head of the Alchemy Department, but his residence was not luxurious. It was just a small courtyard made entirely of green bamboo.
Looking at the quiet courtyard in front of him, Xiao Yun opened the gate and slowly walked to the door of the room. Before he could knock on the door, an old voice came from inside.
"Good disciple, come in directly, the door is not locked."
Hearing his teacher's words, Xiao Yun pushed the door open and walked into the room.
The layout of the room was very ordinary. If it weren't for some precious medicinal materials hanging on the wall behind the desk, no one would have thought that this was the residence of a fifth-grade pharmacist.
Elder Huo was lying on a rocking chair, holding an ancient book in his hand, reading it with relish.
"You just came back from the library and came to see your teacher. What difficulties did you encounter?"
Elder Huo raised his head, put the book in his hand aside, and asked with a smile.
"Teacher, you guessed right. I came to you because I encountered some problems."
"Teacher, do you know where there is a place where lightning gathers? In addition, I also want a golden thunder flower."
"Golden thunder flower? That is a sixth-grade high-level medicinal material, and it has no effect on improving strength. It can only be used as a medicine for wind and thunder pills. How come you can refine wind and thunder pills now?"
Elder Huo looked at Xiao Yun with suspicion. How could a nine-year-old sixth-grade pharmacist refine wind and thunder pills be possible? If Xiao Yun could really refine wind and thunder pills, he would not teach Xiao Yun any medicine refining techniques, and would just kill himself with a piece of tofu.
"No, teacher, I got a body refining method, which requires the use of golden thunder flowers."
Xiao Yun looked at his teacher's expression, and several black lines crossed his head. He quickly explained.
"I knew it. It was meant to be used for body training. As it happens, I obtained a few golden thunder flowers a few years ago. I wanted to refine a wind-thunder pill as a certificate for my breakthrough to the sixth-grade pharmacist. I didn't expect that there has been no progress in all these years. It just so happens that there is only one left. Now you can have it."
As Elder Huo spoke, the storage ring flashed, and a golden flower with a strange appearance and several lightning bolts on the petals appeared on his palm. He threw it to Xiao Yun.
"As for the place where thunder gathers." Elder Huo frowned and lowered his head to think.
After a moment, Elder Huo raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun who was waiting on the side, and said: "I only know one place where thunder gathers, but it is very dangerous. Even I dare not set foot there easily. You must think carefully."
"I hope you can teach me." Xiao Yun's eyes flashed with hope, and he bowed to Elder Huo.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, your teacher cannot stop you. That place is called Falling Thunder Valley, and it is located in the inner courtyard. After you enter the inner courtyard, you can take your teacher's token to find an elder named Su Qian. He is the chief elder of the inner courtyard, and as my disciple, the chief elder will take you to Falling Thunder Valley."
"The terrain of Falling Thunder Valley was not formed naturally. It was formed when the dean was practicing in the inner courtyard. Because of his profound practice, every time he practiced, he would attract thunder between heaven and earth. Over time, a place where thunder gathered was formed where the dean practiced."
Elder Huo recalled the past and said to Xiao Yun earnestly.
"You want to practice in there. Your master won't stop you, but you must start from the outermost part. If you can't hold on, you must not fight to the death, but leave this place immediately. Can you do it?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xiao Yun nodded seriously, "Teacher, don't worry. I am not such a reckless person. I will not joke with my own life."
"That's good. Your master knows that you like to practice and become stronger, and you know how to hone yourself. But practice is not a matter of one day or one night. With your talent, there is no need to rush."
"Alas, you are too opinionated and too competitive sometimes. Sometimes I really envy old man Hu. His granddaughter
is so cute." Elder Huo, who has been single all his life, has no idea what to do with his apprentice. Just like the elders at home, he is worried about the younger generation who are about to go out to work, hoping that they can stand out, but also afraid that their younger generation will suffer too much.
Xiao Yun can understand his teacher's feelings very well, but he is not a real child. If he is asked to act like a spoiled child to Elder Huo like Hu Qian, well, forget it. It's too shameless. He doesn't have the thick skin of Xiao Huohuo.
"Teacher, I will go to the inner courtyard to practice tomorrow. Why don't you tell me about the unique practice resources in the inner courtyard?"
Looking at the sentimental old man in front of him, Xiao Yun didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to ask about the inner courtyard to change the topic.
"The inner courtyard is a place where the weak are preyed on by the strong. There, even the face of the teacher is useless. Don't think that you can be bold and presumptuous just because I have the support of the teacher behind you."
"The unique practice resource is the magical Tianfen Qi Training Tower. Practicing in it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. But you can't practice in it for too long, otherwise you will have a burning heart fire, produce fire poison, and cause irreparable damage to your body."
"Then is there any way to suppress the heart fire?" Xiao Yun pretended to be puzzled.
"Yes, with your strength, you can try to refine some Ice Heart Pills. This is a fourth-grade pill. After taking it, there will be an ice-attribute energy to protect your mind and reduce the burning sensation."
"Then teacher, can you give me the recipe for the Ice Heart Pill?" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the effect of the Ice Heart Pill, and he spoke to Elder Huo somewhat embarrassedly.
Looking at Xiao Yun who was grinning in front of him, Elder Huo said unhappily: "You little brat, you were waiting for me here. You wanted the pill recipe as soon as you heard it. You will have used up all the money I have. But this recipe was originally meant for you. When your success rate is higher, you can sell these pills in the inner courtyard to exchange for resources."
Xiao Yun touched his head embarrassedly. He didn't expect that his teacher had the same idea as him. He wanted the Ice Heart Pill for nothing else but to exchange it with others for fire energy in the inner courtyard for cultivation in the future. After
taking the recipe given by Elder Huo back into the ring, Xiao Yun chatted with Elder Huo again.
