"Although I was good at wine in my early years, I have long been tired of drinking the fairy wine that can usually be found in the Northern Cold Immortal Realm.
As for those treasures, I don’t bother to look for them, but I haven’t drank alcohol for several years.”
Meng Tianxing was slightly startled when he heard this, and then smacked his lips, as if after thinking about it.
"If that's the case, then I would like to ask Mr. Meng to accept this jar of five-color fairy wine brewed by Mo himself, so that Mo can express his gratitude."
After saying that, Luo Hong put down the wine jar without waiting for Meng Tianxing to refuse, then turned and left.
After this, he fully realized what it means to have an elder in the family like a treasure, so he immediately wanted to try to make good friends with each other.
"Hey, this kid is quite good at life. He is worthy of being a Sanxian. He respects the elders and loves the younger much more than those guys in the family who were spoiled by their elders."
After watching Luo Hong leave, Meng Tianxing stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jar, then slapped the sealing talisman with one palm and drank heavily from the wine jar.
But after just taking the first sip, the hot and spicy five-color wine rolled in his belly and invaded Meng Tianxing's meridians.
"Ahem, what a domineering wine! It actually has a trace of pure immortal power, not bad!"
After being choked, Meng Tianxing not only did not curse loudly, but instead praised him greatly.
In his opinion, although this five-color fairy wine is of average quality, it is unique and can be regarded as a rare and good wine!
"It's a pity that the boy is ignorant and didn't take a fancy to Songhe Ten Thousand Years Kung Fu. Otherwise, if I just need to give him some guidance in the future, I won't have to worry about running out of this fairy wine.
The cave I chose for him is really in vain!"
At this point in his soliloquy, Meng Tianxing suddenly became melancholy for some reason. He raised the wine jar and took two big gulps!
Just before nightfall, Luo Hong returned to the pavilion where Liu Changlin was as promised.
"Elder Mo, I wonder how you have thought about it?"
As soon as Luo Hong came in, Liu Changlin stood up and greeted him.
"The conditions given by Elder Liu are generous. Mo is willing to join this mission, but I wonder what the success rate of Elder Luan's refining the meat and bone pill is?"
Luo Hong didn't waste any time at this time and gave his answer directly.
"That's good!"
Liu Changlin was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly asked Luo Hong to sit down and then replied with a smile on his face:
"As for Junior Sister Luan's alchemy cultivation, Elder Mo, you can rest assured!"
"Senior brother, please don't brag to me like this. Although the flesh and bone elixir is only a low-grade elixir of the earth level, its refining difficulty is not much greater than that of an ordinary mid-grade elixir of the earth level.
With my current level of alchemy cultivation, I can only maintain a little over 30% of the alchemy success rate."
Luan Ni on the side couldn't listen anymore and said with an indifferent expression.
"Senior Sister Luan, there is no need to underestimate yourself. The success rate of 30% is already quite high. If it were another middle-grade alchemist, it would probably not even be 20%!"
Gu Wuhen's face was full of admiration at the moment.
"Elder Mo, I think you have also read the relevant mission information in Jingyun Palace.
A thousand-year-old blood peony can be exchanged for one hundred jade points, while a flesh and bone elixir can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty jade points.
Based on a 30% success rate, three hundred jade points of blood peonies can be used to refine a batch of meat and bone elixirs.
And since each batch of flesh and bone elixirs can be converted into three to five elixirs, even if you exclude the auxiliary elixirs consumed, you can earn a lot more jade points by using elixirs to deliver tasks in the end!"
Liu Changlin suddenly settled the accounts for Luo Hong.
"Elder Liu, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
Of course Luo Hong could tell that the other party was setting the stage for what he was going to say later.
"Haha, to be honest, Junior Sister Luan's alchemy cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and she urgently needs to refine difficult elixirs to try to break through.
Therefore, if it is convenient for Elder Mo, please give the assigned blood peonies to Junior Sister Luan for refining after completing the mission."
Liu Changlin immediately chuckled and said
"As long as Elder Mo is willing to help me, I will refine a furnace of pills for Elder Mo for free in the future."
Luan Ni also gave the conditions in a timely manner at this moment.
Luo Hong suddenly showed a look of understanding when he heard this. No wonder these three people took this mission so seriously. It turned out to be because of this.
As the most difficult type of low-level earth-level elixir to refine, flesh-bone elixirs are indeed very suitable for mid-level alchemists to break through bottlenecks.
After all, the method of refining elixirs and making talismans often relies on practice making perfect.
Luan Ni couldn't hone her skills with ordinary or even super-level elixirs like Old Demon Han, so she could only adopt this economical method.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Luo Hong immediately agreed.
Seeing him so cheerful made Liu Changlin and the others stunned, looking a little stunned.
After all, Luo Hong's appearance is very different from his previous cautious appearance.
"Elder Mo, what kind of elixir do you need to refine urgently?"
After all, Luan Ni reacted the fastest and saw through the reason.
"To be honest with Elder Luan, Mo has been practicing a secret technique of spiritual consciousness recently, but he is suffering from insufficient realm of Yuanshen, so his progress is slow.
Therefore, Mo is in urgent need of some elixirs that can strengthen his soul or help his soul recover quickly. I wonder if Elder Luan can refine it?"
In fact, the reason why Luo Hong was so interested in this task in Liu Changlin's hands was not because of the rich jade points he could earn, but precisely because of the Flesh and Bone Pill itself.
After all, he will definitely try to reverse practice the Life Source Technique and open up the Taichu Immortal Aperture in the future, so he must prepare some pills to restore his physical body and soul to ensure nothing goes wrong.
As soon as Luan Ni's condition came out, Luo Hong saw the hope of killing two birds with one stone, so of course he wouldn't have any hesitation.
"Elixirs that can strengthen the soul are too rare, and I don't have any recipe for such elixirs.
However, if it is a pill to restore the soul, then I now have a bottle of a middle-grade Pure Brightness Pill.
As long as Elder Mo is willing to hand over the blood peonies he received to me to refine the elixir, I will sell you the elixir at a fair price."
While speaking, Luan Niyu turned over his hand and took out a cyan jade bottle.
Luo Hong didn't say anything when he saw this, he directly took the jade bottle and checked the potency of the elixir in it.
After a moment, he looked happy, returned the jade bottle, nodded and said:
"This Jingming Pill is just right for use. Elder Luan has really helped Mo Mou a lot. Otherwise, just collecting the elixir would have taken me who knows how long!"
"As long as Elder Mo is satisfied."
Luan Ni was not happy or angry after hearing this, and nodded slightly.
"Haha, it's best if everyone can get what they need.
We plan to set off in fifteen days, what do you think Mr. Mo will do?"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Changlin immediately smiled and said.
"No problem with Mo, I'll see you then and say goodbye!"
Now that he decided to go out, Luo Hong naturally wanted to go back to the cave to make some arrangements, so he immediately stood up and cupped his hands.
"Go well, Elder Mo. See you then!"
Upon seeing this, Liu Changlin and the others immediately stood up and said goodbye to each other.
Half a year later, over a hilly area stretching for thousands of miles, a huge spiritual boat wrapped in the power of the wind spirit was flying rapidly.
Even though it was thousands of feet high in the sky, the mountains, forests, villages and towns on the ground were also passing quickly below it, causing a black spot in front of it to quickly grow in size, and soon the outline of a row of giant walls vaguely appeared.
At this moment, several spiritual lights flashed on the deck of the flying boat, and the figures of Luo Hong and Liu Changlin appeared immediately.
"The city ahead is Mingqiu City. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Zhu from Liuhuo Sect have arrived."
Liu Changlin looked at the increasingly clear blue city ahead and couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile.
"I never expected that there would be such a prosperous mortal city so close to the Blood River Valley."
After using his spiritual sense to explore the situation in the city, Luo Hong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Haha, Elder Mo doesn't know. Under normal circumstances, this Mingqiu City would have been completely eaten by the blood-eyed marten!
But there are restrictions imposed by the Golden Immortal Taoist Master of the Flowing Fire Sect in the Blood River Valley, so the Blood-Eyed Marten and the monsters under his command have no chance of escaping!"
After Gu Wuhen laughed loudly, he told Luo Hong the inside story.
"Then isn't this demon being kept in captivity by the Flowing Fire Sect?!"
The Blood River Valley is located between Mingqiu City and the Wuyuan Sand Sea. The latter is deserted and only monsters inhabit it, so Luo Hong always thought that the blood-eyed mink was a wild monster causing trouble.
But now it seems that this demon is the more miserable one.
"If this monster hadn't had the ability to spawn blood peonies, we monks would have killed it long ago to obtain the treasure. How could we keep it alive today?
However, this demon cannot be regarded as being raised by the Flowing Fire Sect, after all, this place is not within the scope of the Flowing Fire Sect's influence.
In fact, tasks like the one we are currently performing will occasionally appear in other Donghuang sects where Jinxian is in charge.
The Blood River Valley can be regarded as a public resource point for our Donghuang Sect."
Liu Changlin knew that Luo Hong was a Sanxian, so he explained without any surprise at the moment.
"I see, it seems that Mo had misunderstood earlier."
Luo Hong immediately smiled and shook his head.
As for the Donghuang Sect mentioned by the other party, it is actually one of the two largest sect alliances in the Huanglan Continent. It is headed by Liuhuo Sect and is committed to fighting against the Xihuang Sect headed by Chongshuimen.
But except for the time of the war between the two alliances, both sides have always been quite chaotic internally, and they are both typical wartime alliances.
"Elder Mo, Huanglan Continent is located in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, but it is not the Northern Cold Demon Territory. Those wild true immortal monsters only appear in a few Jedi.
Unless they come out on their own initiative and don't hide their whereabouts and cause chaos, it's extremely difficult to see them."
Luan Ni looked ahead without turning her head.
"Thank you, Elder Luan, for your advice."
Luo Hong knew that the other party had such a cold temper, so he was not angry at this moment and even thanked him.
But in fact, he originally planned to wait for everyone to complete the task of picking blood peonies, then sneak back to the Blood River Valley alone and try to kill the blood-eyed mink in exchange for some immortal stones.
But if we do this again now, it would obviously be extremely inappropriate.
What a good guy, he is still a protected animal!
That's all, I've just settled down, so I won't poke fun at this.
While he was talking, the flying boat had already arrived above Mingqiu City.
Before Liu Changlin could find a place to land, an obvious aura of immortal power came out from a huge white tower erected in the city.
"This is to wish fellow Taoists and the others."
After muttering to himself, Liu Changlin immediately drove the flying boat towards the giant white tower.
Not long after, the flying boat arrived in front of the giant white tower, and four True Immortals from the Flowing Fire Sect wearing red cloud robes also flew out to greet them.
As soon as he collected the spirit boat, Liu Changlin raised his hands to the bald man leading the opposite side and said:
"Fellow Taoist Zhu He, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. Your cultivation has really improved greatly! It's time to congratulate you!"
"Haha, Liu Daoyou, you haven't changed at all. You always like to make jokes about Zhu's name when we meet.
Zhu just opened up two more immortal apertures, and he didn't break through to the middle stage of true immortality, but he has made great progress."
Zhu He obviously had a close friendship with Liu Changlin. After a brief greeting, he said with a smile on his face.
"Two places! Then hasn't Fellow Taoist Zhu opened eleven immortal apertures?!
At this speed of fellow Taoist, I am afraid that I will be able to break through to the middle stage of true immortality within ten thousand years!"
Liu Changlin originally just wanted to brag politely, but he didn't expect that the other party was really making great progress, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Haha, I just got a Tonghuo Pill by luck. Fellow Daoist Liu, this fellow Daoist behind you is"
After a brief explanation, Zhu He turned his attention to Luo Hong. It was obvious that he was quite familiar with Gu Wuhen and Luan Ni.
"This Elder Mo is the new guest minister of this building. This time he is responsible for our task of picking blood peonies."
Liu Changlin introduced immediately.
"I am Mo Bufan, I have met all of you fellow Taoists."
"I wish you the best!"
"Congratulations!"
After Luo Hong took the initiative to greet him, the charming young woman who flew behind Zhu He and deliberately exposed her navel, and the energetic young man beside her also returned the gift and announced their names.
There was only one dark-skinned man whose face was covered by an animal bone mask. At this time, he just held his hand but said nothing.
"Friend Zhu, what's going on, fellow Taoist Chi Xi?"
Although the other party was wearing a mask, Liu Changlin recognized him immediately through his breath, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Hey, fellow Taoist Chi Xi was killed by thieves from Shifanglou more than a hundred years ago. His body was severely damaged, but now he is unable to speak. I hope fellow Taoist Mo will not blame you."
After Zhu He explained something, he cupped his hands towards Luo Hong.
"No, Taoist friend Chi is in trouble, so why would Mo Mo care about it?"
Luo Hong replied immediately.
"Four fellow Taoists have come from afar to work hard. Second brother, we'd better let them rest in the tower as soon as possible."
Zhu Feng reminded at this time.
"That's right, the four fellow Taoists will go to the tower to rest for three days. After three days, we will set off to the Blood River Valley."
Zhu He seemed to have just come to his senses and raised his arms in greeting.
"Then I'll trouble you four to wait for us for another three days."
After saying polite words, Liu Changlin took Luo Hong and the others and flew into the giant white tower.
And just when the four people disappeared behind the restricted light curtain, Zhu Gao said with a smile on his face:
"Second brother, that Mo Bufan is a bit weird. The location of his immortal aperture is completely different from the Songhe Tower Taoist friends I have seen before!"
"Fifth brother, you don't listen to your elder brother's teachings and use your psychic eyes in vain!"
However, when Zhu He heard this, he didn't care about Luo Hong's possible weirdness. Instead, he looked at Zhu Gao angrily and asked sternly.
"Of course I dare not forget my elder brother's teachings, but that Mo Bufan is only a monk in the early stage of True Immortality. With his spiritual consciousness, he will definitely not be able to detect my prying eyes!"
A look of fear first flashed across Zhu Gao's face, and then he argued with reason.
"The cultivation of mana does not mean the cultivation of soul. How many times do you have to tell me before you remember!"
Zhu He scolded again.
But when he saw the stubborn look on the other person's face, he knew that he would definitely not be able to remember unless he suffered a loss. At that moment, he could only sigh and said in a slightly slower tone:
"That's all, since that fellow Daoist Mo didn't have an attack on the spot, I think his Yuan Shen cultivation is just average.
But you must remember not to use your magical power indiscriminately anymore, spying on the location of the immortal orifice is a taboo for us monks!"
