Shortly after the monks from the family rushed to Wujiangfang City, Li Xuangang came out of the cave, then went down the mountain and went straight to Tianhefang City.
Tianhefang City can be regarded as the Li family's own city. Although the Li family only accounts for less than one-fifth of it, because Tianhefang City is the city closest to Taiqiu Mountain, and almost all of the family's industries are
Among them, most of the Li family members are active in Tianhefang City.
This time, Li Xuangang went to Tianhefang City to make some necessary purchases for his subsequent cultivation life in Taiqiu Mountain.
Two days later, Li Xuangang finally arrived at Tianhefang City. He remembered that the last time he came here was on his way to Binhaifang City, but he did not enter Tianhefang City at that time.
Standing under the huge stone plaque of Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang silently looked at some of the surrounding situations and found that although the size of Tianhefang City could not be compared with large cities such as Binhaifang City and Wujiangfang City, it was also quite lively.
.
Stepping into the streets of Tianhefang City, shops of various major families were lined up on both sides. Li Xuangang also saw many of his own family's properties.
However, Li Xuangang did not go in. He had another purpose for his trip.
Li Xuangang was no stranger to Tianhefang City, so he walked directly to his target.
Li Xuangang's target is major grain stores, because he no longer has any spiritual stones on his body, but fortunately he has the batch of spiritual grains found in the Jieyuan space, so he can exchange for spiritual stones to ease the current situation.
.
While walking on the streets of Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang had an idea. It seemed that since he began to practice corpse refining, the spirit stones on his body had not been loosened. Although many of them were used for his own practice, they were not suitable for corpse refining.
His cultivation still cost him part of his spiritual stones.
If he could save that amount of spiritual stones, Li Xuangang wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
The spiritual grains in the Jieyuan space were sold by Li Xuangang in batches at major grain stores.
The daily throughput of more than ten grain stores in Tianhefang City is about 10,000 kilograms of spiritual grain, so Li Xuangang's smashing of this small amount of spiritual grain did not arouse any reaction or attract anyone's attention.
After selling the last batch of spiritual grains, Li Xuangang already had more than three hundred spiritual stones in his storage bag after stepping out of a grain store.
Walking to the street, Li Xuangang chose a direction and went to a shop selling corpse refining materials.
This is the shop of the Wang family in Qingyuan Mountain. Because the family has a small corpse farm, they can also produce some materials for corpse refining every year.
Tianhefang City was built with the Jindan family, the Wang family of Qingyuanshan, as the leader, and with the assistance of the other four foundation-building families. Therefore, these five families naturally became the owners of Tianhefang City.
In addition to the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, there are the Hu family in Jiuhua Mountain, the Pan family in Luoying Mountain, and the Zhao family in Wutongfeng.
Of course there are other cultivation families in the Tianhe region, but these five are the most powerful among them.
Although several major families usually compete with each other, it is not harmful. Everyone can basically restrain themselves from letting the situation escalate, because every fight cannot guarantee that other forces will not benefit.
Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the entire Tianhe region has been relatively peaceful.
Most of the major families in the Tianhe region conduct resource transactions and exchanges in Tianhefang City, and there are also many casual cultivators who rely on Tianhefang City for survival and cultivation.
Therefore, Tianhefang City has become the largest gathering place for monks nearby.
Walking into the Wang family's corpse refining shop, a monk from the Wang family who was on the fifth level of Qi Refining greeted him.
He opened his mouth and asked:
"I wonder what you want to buy, senior?"
Li Xuangang first took a rough look at the items sold in the store, but didn't find what he wanted, so he replied:
"I wonder if there are any materials for cultivating corpses here?"
The Wang clan member who acted as a waiter smiled and said:
"Senior, wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and took out a few jade bottles from the cabinet at the back of the store and said:
"I wonder what kind of quality you want?"
Seeing this, Li Xuangang finally became interested. He walked forward and looked at the jade vases, and found that they were all magic weapons for storage, and they should contain materials for cultivating corpses.
"I wonder if there is anything that can be used for corpse refining in the middle stage of Qi refining?"
The boy picked up an alabaster vase.
"The essence and blood of the second-level demonic beast Lingyan Deer is suitable for cultivating corpses in the early and middle stages of Qi refining. Fellow Taoist, what do you think?"
By the time Li Xuangang left the Wang family's shop, there were less than two hundred spiritual stones in his storage bag.
After shaking the essence and blood in the Yin Gourd, Li Xuangang thought that these should be enough for his corpse refining to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining.
After dealing with the corpse refining matter, Li Xuangang walked around Tianhefang City again, focusing on whether each store had any spiritual plant seeds for sale that he was interested in.
In the end, Li Xuangang failed to buy suitable elixir seeds, but accidentally saw a casual cultivator selling a first-order monster called Yellow Bone Fish.
The yellow bone fish is just a first-order low-grade monster. There is nothing special about it. It is just that the meat is delicious and the taste is sufficient. It is also useful for monks to practice after eating it, but it is not as good as the elixir.
Some monks who were addicted to oral pleasure were very enthusiastic about this, but Li Xuangang was not very interested in it.
Just as Li Xuangang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that there was a pool at the end of the canyon in the Jieyuan space? I wonder if monsters could survive in it?
Thinking of this, Li Xuangang stopped and asked the casual cultivator for the price of yellow bone fish.
Later, Li Xuangang spent twenty spiritual stones to buy five yellow-bone fish.
After that, Li Xuangang went to the alchemy pavilion opened by his family in Tianhefang City and visited the family monk Li Qingtian who was stationed here.
After chatting with his thirteenth uncle Li Qingtian for a moment and asking about his experience in alchemy, Li Xuangang said goodbye to him.
Then Li Xuangang left Tianhefang City and returned to Taiqiu Mountain.
After returning to his cave, Li Xuangang closed the cave's restrictions and entered the realm source space.
After entering the Jieyuan space, Li Xuangang checked the growth of various spiritual plants as usual. After finding nothing unusual, he walked to the pond at the end of the canyon in the Jieyuan space.
Li Xuangang first squatted down and put his hand into the pond. He felt that the pond water contained a trace of spiritual energy. Li Xuangang thought that yellow bone fish should be cultured in it.
Then, he put his hands on his clothes to wipe the water stains, and then took out the five-tailed yellow bone fish from behind his back.
Since the yellow bone fish is a living creature and cannot be put into a storage bag, Li Xuangang carried a half-square jade box all the way back to Taiqiu Mountain.
After putting the yellow bone fish into the water pool, the five yellow bone fish immediately swam out and gathered in the center of the water pool.
Looking at the yellow-bone fish swimming in the pond, Li Xuangang guessed that this pond should be no different from the outside world, and there was nothing unusual about the yellow-bone fish in it.
After confirming that the Yellow Bone Fish could survive, Li Xuangang returned to the cave in the boundary space.
He had already disposed of several large boxes in the cave, and replaced them with a row of wooden shelves, on which were some of his sundries.
In addition, there is also a batch of yellow bud grass seeds that I plan to plant, as well as some auxiliary medicines that I have collected for refining Yang Gu Dan.
After sorting out the things on the wooden shelf, Li Xuangang left the cave again and applied rain to various spiritual plants.
Finally, after making sure that everything was arranged properly, he left the Jieyuan space again and put away the Jieyuan Pearl.
Then, he took a Spring Dew Pill and began to enter a state of cultivation.
At the same time, in the Yin-Naking gourd on his waist, the armored corpse was soaked in blood, and the essence and blood of the Lingyan Deer was absorbed by it bit by bit.
The armored corpse's cultivation level is also slowly breaking through to the fifth level of Qi refining.
...
On the fifth day after returning from Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang ended his training because it was time to refine Yanggu Pill for his family.
Li Xuangang opened the cave and walked towards the family alchemy pavilion on Taiqiu Mountain.
The Alchemy Pavilion is located on the side peak of Taiqiu Mountain, not very far from Li Xuangang's cave, so Li Xuangang arrived here in just a cup of tea.
Climbing the side peak, the road is not as wide as on Taiqiu Mountain, but a bit narrow.
Most of the roads on Taiqiu Mountain are wide avenues. This is to facilitate the Tuma beasts in the family to go up the mountain. The side peaks do not require large monsters like Tuma beasts to go up the mountain, so there is no need to widen the roads. In this way,
The surrounding area was saved for developing medicinal gardens.
As far as the eye can see, both sides of the narrow path are lined with medicinal gardens opened by the family, and red red fruits are planted in them. They gradually extend from the ridge down the slope, and they look quite majestic.
Because there is a ground vein on the side peak, it is hotter and hotter than other places in Taiqiu Mountain, and the red dandelion fruit loves sunshine, so it is perfect to plant it here.
This is the main production area of the family's rhubarb. Of course, rhubarb is also grown sporadically in other medicinal gardens in Taiqiu Mountain. However, most of the medicinal gardens on the main peak of Taiqiu Mountain still grow yellow bud grass.
It was also Li Xuangang's first time here. He walked carefully to avoid scratching the red red grass that stretched out from the fence of the medicine garden on both sides of the road.
This thing is quite valuable, and if you are not careful, it is easy to knock off the Zhudan fruit.
However, Li Xuangang was very experienced in this matter, and he walked steadily through the path and arrived at a red attic half-embedded in the rock cliff.
At this time, a boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old was already waiting in front of the door of the attic. When he saw Li Xuangang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"Yuxian pays homage to Uncle Jiu."
The family's alchemy pavilion generally has no clan members here except the family's alchemist and clan leader. Every time the alchemy is finished, the lower-level clan members who specialize in preparing the materials for the alchemy master in the alchemy pavilion collect them and hand them over to the Shanggong Hall afterwards.
Go to warehouse.
These low-level tribesmen have all taken over the task of taking care of the medicinal garden outside the alchemy pavilion. They are usually responsible for taking care of the red pill grass. When the family's alchemist comes to make alchemy every month, one of them will be sent to help sort out the alchemy materials.
.
Li Xuangang estimated that this was the tribesman who was sent to help him sort out Yang Gu Dan materials.
So he asked him to stand up and looked at him before asking:
"Where do you rank among the jade generation?"
Li Yuxian was quite nervous. This was the first time he was sent to help the alchemist sort out the materials. He heard that the previous eighteenth aunt was very talkative, but he didn't know what the temperament of the uncle in front of him, who seemed a bit unsmiling, was like.
"Uncle Jiu, Yu Xian Yu is ranked third among the people."
Li Xuangang gave a faint "hmm" to express that he understood, then passed Li Yuxian and stood in front of the gate of the Alchemy Pavilion.
However, at this time, the door of the Alchemy Pavilion was still closed.
Li Xuangang took out a token, injected a little spiritual power, and opened the door of the Alchemy Pavilion.
This was the token given to him by the clan leader to control the ban on the Alchemy Pavilion.
As he walked into the Alchemy Pavilion, he reminded Li Yuxian behind him to follow him.
After stepping into the alchemy pavilion, what caught Li Xuangang's eyes was a vermilion alchemy furnace.
This furnace is called Huogan Qingyang furnace. Although it is only a first-class high-quality furnace, it has a strong sense of heaviness.
At the bottom of the Huogan Qingyang Furnace, there is a small opening specially made by the family in the earth veins. It is usually blocked with a piece of black iron. When the alchemist makes an elixir, he removes it, and the earth fire he uses when making elixirs can emerge from it. .
When Li Xuangang handed over to his eighteenth aunt Li Qingru, the latter reminded him one by one.
Li Xuangang walked forward, first carefully looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, and then became familiar with the environment.
Finally, he removed the black iron from the bottom of the furnace, preheated the Qingyang furnace, and asked Li Yuxian on the side to take out the materials for refining Yang Gu Dan.
After hearing Uncle Li Xuangang's instructions to him, Li Yuxian quickly took off the storage bag that he had prepared, then laid out the alchemy materials inside one by one, and handed them to Li Xuangang one by one.
This was all ordered in advance by the elders in the family. Li Yuxian remembered the steps very clearly and made no mistakes at all.
The amount of refining Yanggu Dan is too large, and it does not require too much spiritual energy from the alchemist. Therefore, in order to reduce the alchemist's time in sorting materials, low-level tribesmen like Li Yuxian will be sent to assist.
Under Li Xuangang's continuous refining, furnace after furnace of Yanggu Pills was refined, and then Li Yuxian put the refined Yanggu Pills into the jade bottles prepared in the alchemy pavilion, each twenty pills A bottle of Yang Gu Dan, and finally put the jade bottle into the storage bag issued by the family. When Uncle Jiu finished refining it, he took it to the Shanggong Hall to register it and put it in the warehouse. He could also settle the family contribution points there.
Li Xuangang spent five days refining all the Yang Gu Pills.
The family provided a total of 300 Yanggu Pill materials this time, and Li Xuangang refined a total of more than 1,800 Yanggu Pills. Since it was a first-class high-grade alchemy furnace like the Fire Qingyang Furnace, Li Xuangang's The rate of elixir formation is 10% higher than the rate of elixir formation when I used the unqualified alchemy furnace before, reaching 60%.
Li Xuangang estimated that after refining it a few more times, his elixir-forming rate would increase. When the elixir-forming rate reaches 80%, he should be able to try refining the Spring Dew Pill.
