Volume Two Chapter 86: Watching the refining of elixir, making temporary rules
The art of refining elixirs is a process in which practice makes perfect. It is not something that anyone can learn by just reading the prescription or watching the operation.
The two of them did not shy away from Xu Chenglin and took out one elixir after another in front of him. Lu Yan handled the elixir skillfully, while Zhou Heng used his spiritual power to shake the elixir into powder and put it into a small cauldron.
In the furnace.
After all the elixirs were processed, Zhou Heng frantically poured his spiritual power into the cauldron. The cauldron floated in the air and jumped up and down. Red light slowly oozed from it, and the surrounding temperature also increased.
A lot.
Lu Yan was not idle, and threw out the ruby orb very cooperatively. Infused with spiritual power, the surface of the ruby orb also emitted a dense red light.
The two red rays of light echoed each other, turning on and off alternately, as if they were breathing. During this constant alternation, the surrounding temperature suddenly increased a lot.
"What a brilliant fire control technique. The flames are contained but not emitted, condensed but not dispersed, and the temperature of the flames is released as much as possible. It is worthy of being the leading sect in Feng Yuan Continent, it is really amazing!"
Seeing the fire control skills used by the two people, Xu Chenglin secretly admired them in his heart.
Seeing Xu Chenglin watching the two men refining the medicine, Wang Chuan took a few steps forward, seemingly unintentionally.
"The medical and poisonous skills of the Phantom Sect are based on the processing and refining of elixirs. Most of the people in our sect are proficient in fire refining, water refining, spiritual power tempering and other methods, and the basis of these methods
It's spiritual power control. Spiritual power control is not that easy, so the sect has developed several spells with special effects, and this fire condensation technique is one of them."
Xu Chenglin smiled slightly and nodded kindly to Wang Chuan.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Wang, for clarifying my doubts."
"It's nothing. Everyone in Feng Yuan Continent knows about our Phantom Spirit Cult. There's nothing to be surprised about. If fellow Taoists want to know more about our Phantom Spirit Cult, you shouldn't come to my sect for a while after the trial."
Although Wang Chuan has a cold personality, he is also grateful to Xu Chenglin for his rescue. But his personality determines that he will not say too many words of gratitude, and he can only make up for it in other ways.
Seeing that Xu Chenglin was somewhat interested in the two men's spells, telling some well-known information about the Phantom Sect would have no impact, so he opened his mouth to clear up Xu Chenglin's doubts to express his goodwill.
Xu Chenglin felt his kindness, but he didn't say much. The kindness of people like Wang Chuan only needs to be kept in his heart, but speaking out makes him feel embarrassed, which is not beautiful.
Unknowingly, Zhou Heng and Lu Yan seemed to have completed the refining. Lu Yan waved his hand, the aura of the red jade orb disappeared, and a fiery red and transparent orb flew back into his hand.
The small cauldron was still floating in the air, but the dense spiritual light on it disappeared, and a large amount of heat spilled from it to the surroundings. Like clouds and flowing water, Zhou Heng played several magic tricks and suddenly opened the lid of the cauldron.
A stream of light red liquid filled with fragrant fragrance shot out from the cauldron. As if he knew this situation in advance, an exquisite jade bottle accurately put the liquid into the bottle.
Reaching out to catch the jade bottle, Lu Yan smiled at several people.
"Fortunately, I succeeded in refining the spiritual incense. I haven't refined elixir for a long time. Fortunately, I didn't make a fool of myself."
"Fairy Lu, you are so humble. Your sect's medicine refining skills are truly extraordinary. It really opened my eyes."
"Haha, fellow Taoist Xu, please don't belittle yourself. Your sect is also unique in the art of flying swords. My junior brother Wang is also good at flying swords. After the two-power martial arts competition, I will definitely ask fellow Taoist Xu for advice."
Zhou Heng was very happy when he heard Xu Chenglin's praise. At the same time, he did not forget to praise the other sect. People carrying people in sedan chairs and complimenting each other can sometimes enhance a lot of feelings.
Being struck by Zhou Heng’s words
Wang Chuan seemed to have just reacted. He stared at Xu Chenglin with burning eyes, as if he wanted to challenge Xu Chenglin to a fight right now.
How to ask for advice on the art of flying swords? Are you just saying it out of thin air? Of course not! The art of flying swords is the way to kill, and which one is better can only be known in the battle.
Being in a secret realm, of course, is not suitable for taking action on the spot, but when you are out of the secret realm, you might as well have an exchange on a flying sword.
Xu Chenglin smiled and hurriedly waved his hands.
Wang Chuan couldn't help but frowned when he saw Xu Chenglin's actions. He thought Xu Chenglin looked down on him and didn't bother to fight with him.
Xu Chenglin saw Wang Chuan's expression and knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't agree, but that I am not proficient in the art of flying swords now. Jiuhua Academy does not recommend learning the art of flying swords before the Qi Condensation stage. Of course, this also varies from person to person. Among them,
I don’t know the reason. Among the people in this group, when it comes to the art of flying swords, it must be our sect’s senior brother Cheng Hongming. I believe that with his character, if he knew that fellow Taoist Wang was also good at the art of flying swords, he would definitely have a discussion.
.”
Hearing Xu Chenglin's explanation, Wang Chuan's brows widened, but then a fighting spirit emerged. He slightly cupped his fist at Xu Chenglin, and Wang Chuan spoke again.
"To put it this way, I just had the heart of a villain. I have two abilities and martial arts. I would like to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Xu, to introduce you to Fellow Daoist Cheng."
"You're welcome, fellow Daoist Wang, it's just a little effort."
"Uh-huh……"
Zhou Heng felt that the focus of the discussion had been distracted by him, and he quickly coughed twice to interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, we are going to the top of the mountain now. The three of us are more familiar with the route. Why don't you let us lead the way. If the Purple Jade Bee is lured away from the top of the mountain and encounter any obstacles, I hope that fellow Taoist can help."
The smile on Zhou Heng's face rarely disappeared, and his expression was indescribably serious.
It is a very good phenomenon to discuss all issues in advance. Putting villains first and then gentlemen may be a little unpleasant, but it shows that Zhou Heng and others are not hypocrites who do one thing on the surface and another behind the other. Xu Chenglin did not
Wrong person.
"Everyone has worked hard on the way forward, and I feel ashamed to enjoy the success. If there are any obstacles again on the top of the mountain, I will do my best to take action."
Xu Chenglin answered very seriously, and the three of them all nodded heavily after hearing this.
Xu Chenglin didn't say go all out, because he wouldn't go all out at all. The four of them had not been together here for long. Although they said they trusted each other, they were somewhat wary of each other in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, it is normal to have some life-saving means in hand. When encountering obstacles, go all out and use your own life-saving means. After overcoming obstacles, what if the other party turns against you and is ruthless?
Besides, in the face of unknown situations, even if you go all out, you may not be able to reach the top of the mountain. The sentence "go all out", no matter from which angle you look at it, is an extremely empty sentence. Trust is this thing
, most of the time it is based on what we can do.
Xu Chenglin's words not only did not make Zhou Heng suspicious, but actually made Zhou Heng trust him a little more. No practitioner is truly stupid. Everyone understands the meaning of the words, and they also understand the implication.
"To be honest, if this trip is really successful, we will not only be able to set foot on the top of the mountain, but we can also be interested in the royal jelly of the purple jade bees. This purple jade royal jelly is a rare product. It will have endless aftertaste after eating, and it can also strengthen the body.
It can be used to strengthen the body and regulate dark wounds. If it is refined into elixir, the effect will be even better. If there is a chance to obtain royal jelly, I hope fellow Taoist Xu can help. No matter how much we obtain, we will share it equally among the four of us."
As the three of them trusted Xu Chenglin even more, Zhou Heng once again told a piece of news that Xu Chenglin didn't know. This news was very important to Xu Chenglin.
It doesn't matter, as long as the Purple Jade Ice Bee is lured away, he will get a share of the royal jelly no matter what.
Zhou Heng told him the news and subconsciously conveyed his most sincere trust to him, which made the relationship between the two of them even closer.
To be honest, the relationship between several people is mutual cooperation, and it is also a disguised form of mutual use. Most of the temporary small groups are based on common interests, and a few are based on friendship and family ties. Xu Chenglin's current
This temporary group is built on common interests.
"There is no problem. The situation on the top of the mountain is unclear. If I can gain something, I will not hesitate to take action."
Of course Xu Chenglin will not refuse to gain benefits from cooperation.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Chenglin spoke out the question that has been most concerning to several people so far.
"Now that I have said that, I will not be dissatisfied with the three of you. I think the treasure on the top of the mountain must be extraordinary. If we get the treasure, I don't know how to distribute it?"
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere among the people present could not help but become a little cold. No one spoke up and expressed their opinions first. Everyone was silent for about half a cup of tea, and the person who finally spoke was a bit surprising.
"On this mountain, the four of us work together to capture the treasure. We advance and retreat together without attacking each other. After capturing the treasure, the four of us distribute it according to our needs. If there are exactly four treasures, then each of us will have one. If there are not enough, then we will have one each.
Obtain them according to their respective needs. The person who obtains the treasure must pay a corresponding price to the person who does not obtain the treasure, and after being promoted to Qi Condensation, help the other person complete one thing within his ability. Of course, the premise of this is that the four of us have made an oath, and we will not violate the oath.
I think you are all well aware of the consequences."
Wang Chuan spoke slowly and expressed his thoughts.
Practitioners don't make vows easily. Once you make a vow, you must complete it at all costs. Of course, you don't have to complete it, but breaking the vow will only cause loopholes in your state of mind.
When you practice and advance, these mental loopholes will only become obstacles to your advancement. Of course, if you don't want to advance, you don't have to abide by your oath.
When the three heard this, they felt that this was the best solution. So they did not hesitate, witnessed each other and made an oath.
With the restraint of the oath, the vigilance in their hearts has been reduced unconsciously. This kind of oath does not have much psychological baggage for them, and it can also set temporary rules, which they are happy to see.
Arrived.
The four of them went all the way up and successfully reached the bottom of the mountain. The moment they stepped into this area, the sudden increase in gravity made the four of them startled.
The surrounding temperature was much colder, and several people couldn't help but shiver even though they had spiritual protection. The cold wind blowing in front of them, mixed with purple snowflakes, hit several people's faces.
These purple snowflakes are white at first after falling on people, and gradually turn purple as the snowflakes accumulate. Obviously these snowflakes are not purple, but are reflected in purple by the purple light leaking from the clouds on the mountain top.
Among the snowflakes, buzzing sounds could be heard from time to time. After careful inspection, they discovered that those were the targets they wanted to deal with, the Purple Jade Bees.
The four people stopped and silently accelerated the operation of their spiritual power to resist the dual pressure of cold air and gravity.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please follow us closely. If you fall behind, you will be in trouble."
Looking at Wang Chuan, Xu Chenglin nodded seriously.
Zhou Heng and Lu Yan carefully played with the jade bottle. The moment they opened the jade bottle, the whole world seemed to be silent for an instant.
After a few breaths, a buzzing sound came towards them uniformly. It was countless purple jade bees that were surrounding them.
"run!"
Zhou Heng yelled and pulled Lu Yan beside him and ran away. Xu Chenglin and the other two did not hesitate. The effect of the spirit incense seemed to be surprisingly good, beyond their expectations.
Chapter completed!
