The discussion with Xiao Ling about alchemy gave Fa Ma a lot of new insights into the art, and some of the doubts that had accumulated before were also answered one by one by Xiao Ling.
Through communication with Xiao Ling, Fa Ma could clearly discover that Xiao Ling's knowledge of alchemy far exceeded that of Gu He, who was also a sixth-grade alchemist.
Fa Ma had often exchanged experiences with Gu He about alchemy before. Although he gained something, the effect was far less than that of a single exchange with Xiao Ling.
Looking at Xiao Ling who was talking, Fa Ma said in his heart: "As expected of a talented boy who can reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen. He is indeed not comparable to the likes of us."
Two hours passed quickly and Xiao Ling and Fa Ma ended their discussion.
Before leaving, Xiao Ling said to Fa Ma: "President Fa Ma, I would like to ask the Alchemist Guild to help me find an item."
Hearing this, Fa Ma cast a curious look at Xiao Ling, "Now that you have become an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, you can naturally get help from the Alchemist Guild. Tell me, do you need any medicinal materials for refining pills? If the Alchemist Guild has any in its collection, I can take them out and exchange them with you."
Shaking his head lightly, Xiao Ling thought about it for a while, and then described to Fa Ma, "What I am looking for is a broken piece of black jade. Anyone who finds a broken piece of black jade, please help me collect it. I can reimburse the cost."
Since the fragment appeared in the Alchemist Guild in the original book, we could ask the Alchemist Guild to help us find it, and maybe we could get something out of it. Anyway, without the help of the Heavenly Flame, we couldn't see the contents recorded on it.
Nodding, Fa Ma replied: "This search area is a bit wide, but since you have asked, I will arrange for my men to pay more attention. If we find fragments that match your description, I will collect them."
Xiao Ling nodded slightly and smiled, "Thank you very much, President Fa Ma. It's getting late. Goodbye."
After leaving the reception hall, Xiao Ling planned to check the pill recipes recorded in the Alchemist Guild.
Relying on his status as an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling entered the secret room where the pill recipes were kept and began to check them one by one.
Although the quality of these pill recipes is not very high, and Xiao Ling has records of most of them.
However, Xiao Ling still found some recipes that he had not collected, expanding his collection. For example, in the original book, three years later, the sixth-grade Rongling Pill recipe was given as a reward for the champion of the Alchemist Conference.
After browsing through all the pill recipes in the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Ling walked out of the Alchemist Guild and flew towards the Xiao family.
…
After returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Ling slightly released his soul perception ability and found that Zi Yan was sleeping in the room, Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian were practicing in their respective rooms.
Xiao Ling first met the Little Medical Fairy and gave her the searing poison he got from Nalan Jie.
This poison can not only be swallowed by Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body, but it also contains some pure Dou Qi of Nalan Jie, the Dou Wang, which is very helpful to Xiao Yi Xian now.
After chatting with Xiao Yi Xian for a while, Xiao Ling returned to his room.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ling flipped his hand and took out the jade pendant that he had exchanged from the Alchemist Guild.
This jade pendant is round in shape and smooth to the touch, like a piece of baby skin. It is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and slowly released his soul perception to come into contact with the jade pendant.
When his soul perception touched the jade pendant, a weak but clear energy wave was transmitted back. This wave was like a tiny ripple, rippling in his sea of consciousness. Immediately, a soul light ball appeared out of thin air in Xiao Ling's mind.
Xiao Ling did not hesitate too much, released his soul perception, and touched the soul light ball that had just appeared.
When the two came into contact, a stream of information penetrated into Xiao Ling's mind.
Reading the extra information in his mind, Xiao Ling couldn't help but blurt out: "Illusionary Dream Shadow."
After spending some time, Xiao Ling finished browsing through all the extra information in his mind.
Touching his brow, Xiao Ling shook his head and revealed a satisfied smile, "My luck today is really good. I didn't expect to be able to pick up a rare illusion-type fighting skill."
That's right, Xiao Ling discovered an illusion-based fighting skill called "Illusionary Dream Shadow" from this jade pendant.
"Illusionary Dream Shadow" is an extremely mysterious and powerful illusion fighting skill.
The way to perform it first requires the practitioner to concentrate, mobilize his own soul power, and trigger the magic by forming seals with both hands. During the process of forming seals, the soul power will form circles of faint light patterns around it.
The effect of this illusion fighting skill is divided into three levels. In the primary stage, it can make the opponent have a brief visual illusion, see some illusory scenes or objects, thereby distracting their attention and buying time for attack.
At the intermediate stage, one can directly invade the opponent's spiritual world, manipulate some of his perceptions, and cause him to deviate from his judgment of the surrounding environment, or even fall into a brief state of confusion and fear.
At the advanced stage, one can completely construct an illusory mental cage, trapping the opponent's consciousness inside, making it impossible for the opponent to distinguish between reality and illusion, and allowing the opponent to be manipulated by the caster.
However, the use of "Illusionary Dream Shadow" also has certain limitations and risks.
It consumes a great deal of the practitioner's spiritual power. If one does not have enough spiritual power to forcibly perform it, he or she may fall into a coma.
Moreover, if the opponent's mental will is extremely strong or his soul cultivation is higher than that of the caster, the effect of the illusion may be greatly reduced, and he may even suffer backlash.
Touching his chin, Xiao Ling muttered to himself: "Although this fighting skill cannot cause strong lethality, its scope of application is very broad and has a lot of room for development."
For example, if you want to describe the appearance and shape of an object to others, you can visualize the image in your mind, so that you can communicate more effectively.
"If I can cultivate this illusion fighting skill to a high level, with my current spiritual realm soul, it is not impossible to control some Dou Zun strongmen who have not yet broken through to the spiritual realm soul."
He shook his head and dispelled all the thoughts in his mind. Now that he had obtained such an illusion-based fighting skill, he would naturally start learning it as soon as possible.
Immediately, Xiao Ling formed a specific hand seal and began to practice it over and over again.
The slowly rising moonlight shone through the window glass onto Xiao Ling's figure, as if the moon was afraid that he would catch a cold, so it covered him with a gauze dress woven by moonlight.
