Chapter 236 Chu Ning Gives Birth to a Baby
Time flies.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
"Junior Brother Chu, you should focus on refining elixirs now instead of practicing."
In the Xinhuo Hall, Chu Ning practices in a side hall. Newcomers like them who are not favored by the sect can stay in the Xinhuo Hall for hundreds of years. If they make some progress in alchemy during these hundred years, they can apply for the assessment. time will be re-rated.
Chu Ning knew that Zhang Qi and Wang Ming were frantically refining elixirs in the Xinhuo Palace.
There is a library in Xinhuo Hall, which contains many jade slips related to alchemy. Newcomers like them can read it for free.
Chu Ning did not miss this opportunity, and even spent the most time on it. But after reading the jade slips in the library, he did not busy refining the elixir, but began to practice.
"Senior Brother Shu, I thought that if I could break through to the Nascent Soul realm, I would be able to improve my alchemy skills."
Chu Ning still had a very good impression of this Senior Brother Shu. He was an enthusiastic and good old man. He answered almost every question the newcomers had. Even if he didn't know something, he would seek the answer before telling him.
"That's true. You are in the late stage of Golden Elixir now, so it will be more difficult to refine some elixirs."
Shu Wenruan nodded, and then asked: "How sure are you of having a baby?"
"Senior Brother Shu, how can you be so sure about the birth of a baby? You are also from the lower realm. You should know how difficult it is to have a baby in the lower realm."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly. Although he was sure in his heart that he had almost a 70% chance of conceiving a baby, he would not admit it with his mouth.
"Is it difficult? It's more difficult to become a god in Qingshan Region where I am, but there are dozens of Nascent Souls."
Shu Wenruan scratched his head, and Chu Ning was stunned. Although Qingshan Domain was also a lower domain, it ranked fifth among the lower domains and was not comparable to Chengshan Domain.
Every time a lower domain differs by a few rankings, the strength between the domains is significantly different. Chengshan Domain is at the bottom, so naturally it cannot be compared with a top-ranked domain like Qingshan Domain.
"Senior Brother, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chengshan Region where Junior Brother is located can be counted on one hand."
Hearing Chu Ning's somewhat resentful words, Shu Wenruan smiled awkwardly and said, "Senior brother, I don't know about this situation, but if I want to successfully conceive a baby, it's best to purchase those auxiliary items for conceiving a baby."
"Is there anything in the Dan Realm that can assist in forming a baby?"
"Of course."
Shu Wenruan gave Chu Ning popular information about things that can help with conceiving a baby.
"There are dozens of kinds of infant-forming aids, but they still need to be distinguished according to the attributes of the golden elixir. The prices of infant-forming aids with different attributes are also different. What kind of attributes is the golden elixir, junior brother?"
"What kind of baby-making auxiliary items are the cheapest?" Chu Ning asked back.
Shu Wenruan was silent for a while. Can this thing also change the properties of the golden elixir according to its price?
"In the area near Xinhuo Palace, the water attribute is the cheapest." Although Shu Wenruan was confused, he still answered Chu Ning.
"Most of our alchemists use metal and fire as the main ones, a few use wood and earth, and the water attribute is the least. Therefore, there are fewer people who need water-attribute auxiliary substances for childbirth."
"What a coincidence, junior brother happens to be a water-attributed golden elixir."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and there was a look of surprise on his face. For him, the golden elixir and the five elements could be transformed, so he must choose whatever attribute was cheap.
"That's quite a coincidence." Shu Wenruan also thought it was too coincidental, but he believed that Junior Brother Chu would not joke about the birth of a baby.
"Senior brother, do you also use spirit stones to purchase items in this Dan Realm?"
"Of course." Shu Wenruan nodded: "Lingshi is common to all domains and can be used in any domain. Naturally, our Dan domain can also use it, but our Dan domain uses spiritual crystals."
Shu Wenruan introduced to Chu Ning: "Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one spiritual crystal. If junior brother has spiritual stones, he can go to the treasure pavilion of Xinhuo Palace to exchange them. As for the water attribute pill-forming auxiliary thing, It’s probably ten spiritual crystals that can be exchanged for one type. In order to ensure the success of the birth, junior brother had better exchange ten kinds of auxiliary items.”
Ten thousand spiritual stones are exchanged for one spiritual crystal. Ten spiritual crystals are one hundred thousand spiritual stones.
The price is not high!
At least in Chu Ning's opinion, if it were placed in the Chengshan Domain, one million spirit stones could guarantee the birth of an infant, and there would definitely be more than a few powerful Nascent Souls.
Chu Ning understood why this situation occurred. It was caused by the imbalance of resources.
In the Chengshan Domain, there are no such auxiliary items for forming a baby, but in the Dan Domain such items are not particularly rare, so naturally their value is not particularly high.
"If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can borrow some from me."
When Shu Wenruan saw Chu Ning thinking deeply, he thought Chu Ning was short of money. This was what he inferred based on the situation in Qingshan Domain.
Even in the Qingshan Domain, it is difficult for late-stage Golden Core cultivators to have millions of spiritual stones. This does not mean that late-stage Golden Core cultivators cannot earn millions of spiritual stones.
You can earn millions of spirit stones, but the expenses are also high. Alchemists like them can make pills and sell them to earn spirit stones, but they also have to spend spirit stones to buy medicinal materials, and there are also cultivation needs. Spend spiritual stones.
If you want to continuously improve yourself, there are many places to spend spiritual stones.
Spiritual weapons, magic weapons, formations...
There are only enough spiritual stones to spend, and there are no spiritual stones that cannot be spent.
"Junior brother sold a lot of elixirs in the Chengshan domain and earned some spiritual stones. I should be able to collect enough. If it is not enough, I will ask my senior brother to borrow them when the time comes."
Although Senior Brother Shu is a very nice person, Chu Ning will not reveal how many spiritual stones he has.
Since selling a wave of Shou Yidan medicinal materials, plus the sponsorship from the Xuantian Sect's group of Jindan elders, not counting some spiritual weapons and materials, the number of spiritual stones alone is 1.6 million.
After seeing Shu Wenruan off, Chu Ning didn't waste any time and went directly to the Treasure Pavilion of Xinhuo Palace. In the past three years, he had gained some understanding of Xinhuo Palace.
He could not get close to the core area of the Xinhuo Palace, and there were many newcomers like them who had not been selected by the sect, and they were all arranged in the peripheral side halls of the Xinhuo Palace.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ning came out of the Treasure Pavilion with one hundred and fifty spiritual crystals on his body.
After exchanging 1.5 million spirit stones, Chu Ning left 100,000 spirit stones for himself. These 100,000 spirit stones were reserved in case of emergencies that required the use of spirit stones.
The treasure pavilion of the Xinhuo Palace did not have the infant auxiliary treasure, so Chu Ning found Shu Wenruan again.
Shu Wenruan knew that Chu Ning had collected the spirit crystals, and he enthusiastically expressed that he would help Chu Ning find aids for forming pills. He didn't even collect Chu Ning's spirit crystals. He only said that he would bring the treasures back when the time came. Give the spirit crystal.
Seeing Shu Wenruan leaving, Chu Ning felt a little ashamed. Just now he was still considering whether to give the spiritual crystal to Senior Brother Shu.
After all, it is necessary to be on guard against others. What if Senior Brother Shu donates money and runs away?
Now it seems that he is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. Senior Brother Shu is really a warm-hearted and good person.
Senior Brother Shu is quite caring about Senior Brother.
Chu Ning sighed softly. He saw the figure of Senior Brother Gu in this Senior Brother Shu, but unlike Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Gu was good to him because he felt that he could lead the sect to glory.
But this Senior Brother Shu is not only kind to himself, he also cares about other newcomers without any selfish motives.
If we insist on saying that Senior Brother Shu has any selfish motives, we can only say that Senior Brother Shu casts a wide net to invest and take care of newcomers like them, hoping that one of them can stand up and rise.
A month later, Chu Ning met Senior Brother Shu who had returned from a long journey.
"Junior Brother Chu, senior brother has lived up to his trust. There are ten kinds of water-attributed golden elixir baby auxiliary treasures here, which cost ninety-three spiritual crystals. Junior Brother Chu, you can just give me ninety spiritual crystals."
"How can that be done? Senior Brother Shu has worked so hard for Junior Brother to have a baby, how can he give me less?"
Chu Ning shook his head and took out a hundred spiritual crystals. After Chu Ning's repeated requests and said that if he didn't have his subordinates, he would not dare to trouble Senior Brother Shu again in the future, Shu Wenruan accepted the hundred spiritual crystals.
Taking the storage bag given by Shu Wenruan, Chu Ning returned to his side hall, with excitement in his eyes. He was now just one step away from marrying the baby.
If he were in the Chengshan Domain, he would choose an extremely safe place to have a baby, but in the Dan Domain, the Xinhuo Palace is the safest place.
But even so, Chu Ning still arranged several formations in his side hall before starting to conceive the baby.
Chu Ning sat down cross-legged in the center of the hall and entered a state of cultivation.
Half a year later, Chu Ning's condition has reached its peak at this moment, and his whole aura is as sharp as a sword unsheathed.
After adjusting his condition, Chu Ning patted the storage bag, and the ten kinds of auxiliary treasures floating in front of him.
However, Chu Ning did not rush to use these ten treasures, but began to control his soul to compress towards the golden elixir.
From the golden elixir to the formation of a baby, it is a process in which the soul is compressed into the golden elixir, and then the golden elixir is shattered and the Nascent Soul is formed.
Compressing the soul into the golden elixir is not difficult for other monks, but it is a bit troublesome for Chu Ning.
Because his soul is far superior to that of ordinary golden elixir monks, this means that the difficulty of compressing the soul into golden elixir will be higher than that of ordinary monks.
Chu Ning maintained the seal with his hands. A month later, with a flick of his finger, an elixir flew directly into his mouth and was swallowed in one gulp.
Waterweed.
After taking it, textures will be produced on the water attribute elixir, and the soul can follow these textures and enter the elixir.
Half a month later, Chu Ning took the soul-shrinking grass again. This grass can help the soul to compress.
…
…
A year has passed, and Chu Ning has used seven of the ten treasures in front of him.
A year later, after Chu Ning took the last three treasures together in one breath, his aura continued to weaken.
It is normal for the spirit to enter the golden elixir and the aura to become weaker.
The next step is to use the divine soul to conceive the Nascent Soul in the golden elixir.
To put it crudely, there are two types of eggs laid by hens. Without the help of roosters, eggs laid by hens cannot hatch into chicks because they lack essence.
The soul is equivalent to the essence. Now that the essence is present, it is pregnant and hatched.
This process can take as fast as half a year, or as slow as three to five years.
