Hsiao Chih-ching sat down and her expression became more serious. She said in a clear voice, "There are three difficulties in refining elixirs. The first difficulty is that the number of raw materials that can be used to refine elixirs is very scarce. Especially the materials needed for elixirs that are above the middle grade, they are almost extinct.
As far as I know, in the past fifty years, Hongmeng and our Xiao family, who are the best at refining elixirs, have not been able to refine high-grade elixirs, let alone top-grade elixirs. This is because there are no precious medicinal ingredients.
Even those ordinary medicinal ingredients are not something that everyone can get their hands on. The medicinal ingredients that you found in the mustard seed Sumeru Ring last time are not even enough to make a furnace of the lowest grade elixir. "
Yang Cheng nodded and said, "I heard about it. However, the medicinal ingredients that Hua Xia does not have may be found abroad. After all, there are no cultivators in foreign countries who can refine elixirs."
"Abroad?" Hsiao Chih-ching thought for a moment, "It is possible. I have never heard of anyone going to other countries to find medicinal ingredients. It seems to be related to the Treaty of Gods of the Western Gods. There are various theories in the illusion. Some say that they are afraid of the Western Gods, while others say that they are keeping the promise of non-aggression … I don't know who to believe. "
Yang Cheng did not mention this and continued, "I will send people to find some places that may have elixirs. Tell me, what kind of places might have a lot of elixirs?"
"Alright, you can send people to investigate which areas are inaccessible but not very desolate. It is best to find places with ancient civilizations because that means that those places have a certain amount of spirituality."
After Yang Cheng noted it down, he asked, "What about the second stage?"
"That is even more troublesome." Hsiao Chih-ching sighed and said, "Refining elixirs requires an excellent furnace. This furnace is not ordinary and must be able to withstand the test of 'Samadhi True Fire'. This kind of furnace is mostly made of special metal materials from ancient times, such as Northern Dark Cold Iron, Polar Black Iron, and Taiyi Gold.
Most of these things are used to refine magic treasures, but how many rare metals are there in a magic treasure? A cauldron was almost entirely made of these precious metals.
As far as I know, there are no more than five cauldrons in Hongmeng that can be used to refine elixirs that have been passed down since ancient times. As for the three hidden families, only our Xiao Family has two cauldrons. The Luo Family and the Ning family only have one each. Even if the others have them, they are all damaged …
Since we've talked about this, I'm afraid you already know about the third trial. It's the Samadhi True Fire.
This is the second tribulation of the Three Yang Real Fire Tribulation, the Heavenly Fire. In order to obtain this kind of Heavenly Fire in ordinary alchemy, the materials needed are extremely diverse. It can be said that the materials needed to concoct middle-grade and low-grade alchemy pills are not as precious as the materials needed to ignite this fire. "
Seeing that Yang Cheng was silent, Hsiao Chih-ching smiled and said, "Now you know why I don't recommend you to think about this. This isn't something you can do alone."
However, Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I was thinking that the 'Samadhi True Fire' really isn't a problem, but where should I find a cauldron to refine pills?"
Hsiao Chih-ching was puzzled, "Why? Why do you think so?"
Yang Cheng could only briefly explain the fact that he was only one step away from the "Samadhi True Fire", but it also caused Hsiao Chih-ching to be dumbstruck. Her expression was extremely cute.
"Just what kind of cultivation technique are you cultivating? This is too heaven-defying. I've never heard of it before … However, if that's really the case … You might be able to do it. I don't think the cauldron will be any harder to deal with than the Samadhi True Fire."
Yang Cheng asked, "Why didn't you mention the method of refining pills? Isn't that some kind of difficulty? "
Hsiao Chih-ching smiled and shook her head, "The method of refining pills is actually more or less the same. I've seen a few in the Xiao Clan, and the Xiao Clan is still very good at refining pills. The key is to control the temperature of the pill, but if you can control the Heaven Flame yourself, then you'll be able to refine twice the result with half the effort."
Yang Cheng finally heard a piece of good news, and said: "When I choose a place to search for medicinal ingredients, I will cultivate and search for the required ingredients at the same time. At that time, you can come with me, I don't know which medicinal ingredients are used for refining."
"Me?" "Together?" Hsiao Chih-ching was quite surprised.
"It's more troublesome for you, but there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I don't know them. I don't think those medicinal ingredients can be explained with just a few words!" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "But you can rest assured, if you're with me, I'm still very good at surviving in all kinds of environments. There won't be any danger, and you won't be in too much trouble during the search."
Hsiao Chih-ching hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I … I'm not afraid of those things, I'm just very surprised that you're willing to bring me along …"
Speaking up to this point, Hsiao Chih-ching could not help but blush slightly and lower her head.
Yang Cheng also felt a little embarrassed. Even if he explained this matter to Lin Ruoxi, she would probably find it hard to accept. After all, she might have gone out with Hsiao Chih-ching for many days.
However, without Hsiao Chih-ching, he would definitely not be able to search for medicinal ingredients, so he could only bite the bullet and explain it clearly.
That afternoon, Yang Cheng informed Solon to let people from all over the world search for the location that met the conditions that Hsiao Chih-ching mentioned.
After all, it was a barren area that was rarely visited by humans, and it would be best if there was an ancient civilization that had not been destroyed by humans for the past ten thousand years. With all these conditions added up, it would be impossible to distinguish them without searching the local area.
During this period of time, Yang Cheng also had other things to do.
The most important thing was naturally to understand the concept of "Samadhi True Fire". Secondly, it was to teach his women how to cultivate. As for whether they could endure looking at their flushed faces and sweaty women during the cultivation process … that was another matter.
What made Yang Cheng more discouraged was that other than Qiangwei and Cai Ning who were indeed making faster progress, including Lin Ruoxi, Mo Qianni, Choi Yeon, Liu Mingyu, Anxin, Tang Wan, and other women, after reaching the peak of the Acquired Realm, found it difficult to make any further progress.
Speaking of which, this speed was already ridiculously fast in the eyes of others. These women, who originally had no foundation, reached the peak of an ordinary martial artist's lifetime in a few months.
However, in the eyes of Yang Cheng, this was far from enough!
On the other hand, the women were extremely excited about the new power they suddenly obtained, especially the experience of jumping a few feet high, running a hundred meters in 11 seconds, and punching a thousand pounds with one punch. This experience was completely unimaginable in the past.
Of course, pure internal force was not enough. Yang Cheng also specially sent the Sea Eagles members who were responsible for protecting them and taught them all kinds of effective fighting skills. Even if they had no chance of winning against cultivators, ordinary masters could not hurt them.
Lin Ruoxi felt that after obtaining the physical quality and internal force of the peak of the Acquired Realm, the most useful thing was that she no longer had to worry about Lanlan's small body easily pouncing on her.
In the past, Lin Ruoxi would still work overtime after work and work late at night. However, after having Lanlan, she was eager to accompany her daughter to play and go shopping after work. She also worked hard to learn how to cook so that Lanlan, who had a huge appetite, could eat the food she cooked.
When they slept at night, they naturally slept in the same bed as Lanlan. Yang Cheng pitifully snuck back to his own bedroom. His sorrowful mood could only be described as "extremely tragic".
Fortunately, during the day, Yang Cheng used the excuse of "guiding cultivation" to release some of his emotions in front of other women. Lin Ruoxi also felt a little guilty, so she turned a blind eye and followed Yang Cheng.
As for Yu Lei Entertainment, although Yang Cheng had the title of director, almost all the daily work had been handed over to Hannya to handle.
Hannya seemed to have fallen in love with this new job and established simple friendships with some of the colleagues in the company. The cold-blooded female ninja actually yearned for such a normal life.
Of course, when Yang Cheng was free, he would still participate in some important decisions, especially when it came to Hui Lin's work. Yang Cheng still asked about it himself.
The xianxia fantasy movie that Hui Lin and Director Yu Shuo were collaborating on had been named "Sword Fairy". It was straightforward but easy to remember. The goal was to create a fantasy blockbuster produced by Hua Xia that would impact Hollywood and the world.
As the investor, Yu Lei had naturally invested a total of one billion in the filming and post-production funds!
Of course, with Hui Lin and Yu Shuo's current reputation, they would not suffer a huge loss no matter how bad it was. However, it also showed the outside world Yu Lei's determination.
Lin Ruoxi was actually quite casual about this investment. She was spending money for her only sister. Moreover, one billion wasn't much for a rich woman like her.
Time passed quickly and it was late September.
Zhenxiu made a video call from Korea. After the girl returned to Starmoon Group and reunited with her grandfather, President Park Cheon's health improved and his mind became more alert.
Over the phone, Zhenxiu sounded like she was in a good mood, which made her family heave a sigh of relief.
It had been more than a week since Hui Lin's movie started shooting. Lin Ruoxi was more worried about whether Hui Lin was used to the filming and whether the filming was going smoothly. However, as the CEO, she had to go home to accompany Lanlan. She really couldn't leave, so she asked Yang Cheng to find time to visit her.
Yang Cheng had yet to receive the complete investigation report from Sauron and the others. Since he was quite free in Zhonghai, he followed Lin Ruoxi's instructions and went to the filming base near Zhonghai in the morning to visit Hui Lin.
Before leaving in the morning, Lin Ruoxi did not forget to remind him, "Remember to come home for dinner. I just learned how to make corn ribs yesterday."
Yang Cheng pouted sourly. "Isn't that for Lanlan? I'll just have a bowl of ramen outside."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. "You're still jealous of a child. No wonder Lanlan still refuses to call you daddy."
Yang Cheng immediately covered his heart as if he had suffered another blow. He turned around and ran out the door dejectedly.
