Chapter 39: Elder Bai’s Advice
Walking into the Alchemy Pavilion, the smiles of the alchemists you met on the road were full of amusement.
Yannuo felt that it might not be that simple if Master Lin sent someone to find him, so he had no choice but to go to Master Lin's house.
Walking into Alchemist Lin's office, Alchemist Lin was still sipping the spiritual tea carefully as before. When he saw Yan Nuo arriving, he said in an extremely indifferent tone: "As an alchemist in our sect, we have to refine it every month.
The sect's mission of a thousand marrow-cleansing pills, you haven't been in the Dan Pavilion these days, you must have been wandering somewhere! Don't you take the sect's rules seriously?"
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Yannuo whispered, and then he understood in his heart what these people meant by laughing before.
Then Alchemist Lin's tone was calm: "This is your first offense, so I won't punish you this time. The monthly salary provided by the sect to Alchemist is not just for free. You are limited to use the remaining alchemy within three days."
The medicine is refined, if you default on your payment, don’t blame me, I will punish you according to the sect’s rules!”
Yannuo withdrew from the tavern, then went to the pharmacy to collect enough medicinal materials and walked into the alchemy room.
He didn't sleep a wink for three days and finished refining all the medicinal materials he received. During this period, he missed several batches of elixirs, but the success rate reached 40%. In one of the batches of elixirs, several middle-grade pills actually appeared.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill.
If anyone knew that Yannuo had refined a middle-grade marrow-cleansing pill, they would be shocked. For most alchemists, a 30% pill-making rate is good. As a newcomer who has just been promoted to the level of alchemist, Yannuo,
It's not surprising that the elixir formation rate can reach 40%.
In order not to attract others' attention, Yannuo had no choice but to put the extra 10% of the elixir into a storage bag. After all, it was better to keep a low profile.
It turned out that there were a lot of benefits to be gained from the Alchemy Pavilion. Only then did Yannuo understand why the sect had separated the Alchemy Pavilion and established the positions of the Alchemy Director and the Alchemist Director independently to restrain each other.
Even so, he only spent a few days refining the elixir, and he got so many benefits, and the sect's monthly salary of crystals to the alchemist was much more than that of the monks in the foundation building period.
After leaving the elixir to the elixir manager, Yannuo was exhausted from refining the elixir for days without sleep or practice. After returning to the cave and taking a nap, he carefully prepared the recipe for the "Yi Jing Tongmai Dan".
I took it out and studied it carefully, but the herb "Yannangen" was very difficult to find!
I opened the "Pharmacopoeia", "Baicao Jing" and "Alchemy Medicinal Herbs" written by successive alchemists of our sect, and checked them carefully, only to find that there were only a few descriptions of "Yannangen" in several books.
There are only two images of this grass handed down from ancient times, and there are no other records.
After thinking about it for a while, I had to ask Elder Bai for advice. Based on Elder Bai's attainments in alchemy, he might know what herbs to use to replace this medicine.
After leaving the cave, Yannuo went straight to Elder Bai's cave and issued a transmission note to enter.
However, Elder Shi Bai opened the restriction, and an old voice came out: "Boy! Come in!"
Walking into the cave, I saw that the interior of the cave was simply decorated. Elder Bai was sitting in a rocking chair, holding a pharmacopoeia in his hand and studying it carefully. He bowed and said, "Disciple has met Elder Bai!"
"Boy! If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't like to beat around the bush!" He put down the pharmacopoeia in his hand and looked at Yannuo with a smile.
"The disciple wants to refine the Yi Jing Tongmai Pill, but one of the herbs, 'Yannangen', has long since disappeared in the world of cultivation, but I don't know what kind of medicinal materials can replace it. There is also the nine-branch fragrant osmanthus that replaces Tianhe Yingui.
I don’t know where to find it, so I came here to ask you for advice!” Yannuo stood aside obediently.
"Nine-branched osmanthus, I have seen this kind of nine-branched osmanthus in Wuya Mountain in the north. This osmanthus is unique to Wuya Mountain, but it is not a scarce medicinal herb, and the flowers are the best for medicine, so you
You can only go to the mountains to collect it yourself in August when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom!"
"As for the medicinal herb Yannangen, which has long been extinct, it is not impossible to find alternative medicines. I once read a record in a pharmacopoeia that said that the combination of red tassel and purple syringus can replace Yannangen!
Elder Bai stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
Hearing what Elder Bai said, Yannuo's eyes lit up again: "I dare to ask Elder Bai, how can I find these red tassel beards and purple ling beards!"
"According to the pharmacopoeia, Yannan root is a fire-based medicine, and red tassel and purple lingsu are also fire-based medicinal materials. In the world of cultivation, red tassel and purple lingsu are both rare herbs.
It is also a sought-after item in the market, even if you have crystal stones, it is not easy to buy them!"
After hearing this, Yannuo's eyes that had just lit up dimmed again.
Elder Bai smiled, with a joking look in his eyes: "Although it is difficult to find it outside, we do have this herb, but it's hard for you to get it!"
"Which senior is it in the hands of?" Yannuo asked hurriedly.
"Danding Peak is full of fire spirit, and the medicinal fields under the peak are suitable for the growth of these two medicinal herbs. I have seen these two medicinal herbs in the medicinal fields of Danding Peak!" Elder Bai couldn't help but say this.
Laughed out loud.
"Uh!" Yannuo rolled his eyes.
"It's no exaggeration to say that you and Master Lin are enemies of each other. Cang Fan Sword Immortal and Master Lin's uncle had a grudge within the sect back then. Master Lin will naturally make things difficult for you. Even if Cang Fan Sword Immortal goes to seek medicinal herbs, Lin
The boss won’t give him face!”
Yannuo looked confused: "Then how should I ask for that medicinal herb?"
"There is a saying in the secular world, 'It is better to steal than to steal'!" Elder Bai laughed after saying this.
"Steal?!" Yannuo couldn't help but open his mouth. He had lived in the palace since childhood, read poetry and books, and was familiar with etiquette. At this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the word "steal".
"Well! Not long ago, you did a big favor for me, letting me win two foundation-building pills from Mr. Lin. Do you know why I bet you can win?"
Without waiting for Yannuo to reply: "I have seen your alchemy techniques, all of them are based on the alchemy experience of the ancestors in the Alchemy Pavilion. I felt your soul power when you were refining the elixir, and you have a strong soul."
If you have enough power, you will definitely become an outstanding alchemist!"
After a pause, he continued: "I have been obsessed with alchemy all my life and have delayed my practice, so that there is no hope of forming an elixir! The two foundation-building pills I won in the bet were prepared for the younger generations of the family, and the remaining Yangshou of the old man will also go.
Days are numbered! I will need you to take care of the younger ones in the family from now on."
"But senior, is there any other way to get the herb?" Yannuo said hesitantly.
"Those two medicinal herbs can only be considered rare, not to mention they are of little use to the high-level monks in the sect!" Elder Bai's face turned serious: "If you want to ask about becoming an immortal, don't be hesitant! Don't be like this old man who just looks around.
I see myself dying and buried in the dust!"
After much hesitation, Yannuo finally made up his mind: "But how to open the restrictions in the medicinal field under Danding Peak?"
"This is not something I can solve. You have to find a solution yourself!" Elder Bai then took out a jade slip from his arms and soaked his consciousness for a moment.
Then he casually threw it to Yannuo: "There are two elixir recipes from Lao Chan in the jade slips, which may be of some help to you! Lao Chan reminds you that there is a third-level mountain guarding spirit beast Fire Saber Leopard guarding the medicine garden. The rarest
The medicinal materials are in the place guarded by the Firesaber, how to lure that beast away depends on your own ability!"
After speaking, Elder Bai waved his hand to Yannuo, lowered his eyes and fell asleep on the couch.
Returning to the cave, Yannuo first set up a ban and opened the jade slip given by Elder Bai.
My spiritual consciousness was immersed in the jade slip, and I saw two elixir prescriptions "Cartilage Mystic Powder" and "Qi Condensation Pill" recorded on the jade slip.
Yannuo had never seen this kind of elixir prescription in the Alchemy Pavilion. After studying it carefully, he discovered that this cartilage magic powder is a colorless and fragranceless drug. As long as ordinary monks inhale it into their noses, they will fall into coma.
A few hours ago, the Qi Condensing Pill had the effect of condensing the body's spiritual energy. With the invisibility talisman, even monks in the pill-forming stage would not easily discover me.
Yannuo made a special trip down the mountain for this purpose, prepared the herbs needed for these two elixirs in the market, and exchanged the elixirs for three mid-level invisibility charms.
In order not to arouse others' suspicion, when refining elixirs for our sect, we also refined these two elixirs.
The cartilage powder is in powder form, easy to throw in the air and easily soluble in water.
Yannuo once experimented with the spiritual beasts in the sect and fell into a coma for three hours before waking up.
The medicinal properties of this Qi-condensing pill are also very good. After taking it, all the spiritual power in the monk's body will be converged. As long as he is not casting spells, very few monks will feel the fluctuation of spiritual power.
After several secret observations, he finally found out that the token that unlocked the ban on medicinal fields at Danding Peak was in the hands of Master Lin. However, how to get the token from Master Lin was a big headache for Yannuo.
Moreover, the medicine field is guarded by our own disciples all year round, and the guards are very tight, so no one can get close to it.
Just when Yannuo was worrying about this matter, a news came from the sect: On the third day of the next month, a pill-forming monk from the Qianyuan Sect made an appointment with the elder of the sect, Cangfan Sword Immortal, to have a sword fight at Pingyao Peak outside the Yuxiao Sect.
Law.
Hearing the news, Yannuo laughed, and the time had come to take action.
This competition really shocked many people. Cangfan Sword Immortal is known as the number one alchemy monk in Yuxiao Sect. His strength is also ranked among the top three alchemy monks in Lingzhou, and he is also the leader of Lingzhou.
The only sword cultivator in the state.
It is rumored that Cangfan Sword Immortal once fought three monks of the same level alone without falling into a disadvantage, which shows how powerful the sword cultivator is!
The disciples in the sect have never seen Cangfan Sword Immortal take action, and the strength of Cangfan Sword Immortal is far beyond that of the same level, which has aroused the enthusiasm of the foundation-building disciples in the sect.
The monk named Ye Yunhan who challenged Cangfan Sword Immortal was also well-known in the Lingzhou realm. He had become famous in the world of cultivation since his Qi refining period.
For disciples in the foundation-building stage, being able to watch the battles of monks in the elixir-forming stage is of great benefit to their own practice.
Even some monks from other sects had already arrived outside Yuxiao Sect just to watch this competition.
Yannuo began to intensively formulate a plan to steal the spiritual grass, and chose to do it on the day of the battle. He expected that on that day, the Yuxiao Sect would dispatch a large number of manpower to maintain order outside the sect to prevent unscrupulous monks from fishing in troubled waters.
