Xihan, who was only about the size of a palm at this time, was put into the fish cage next to him by the old fisherman. The fish cage was made of bamboo. There were several fish monsters trapped next to Xihan. It seemed that the old man had just drank from the sea.
Fished from the canal.
"Senior, why did you want to capture our friend?" Chen Qingshan asked.
Unexpectedly, the old fisherman made a silent gesture to signal not to scare away his fish.
Snow fell on the Yinhai Canal, and the old fisherman seemed to have caught something incredible. The water in the canal was rolling, and a huge shadow slowly emerged from the bottom of the canal.
It was a strange fish the size of a small hill, with a red body and wings under its belly.
The strange fish struggled, the water splashed in all directions, and made a terrifying rumbling sound. It could not escape the fisherman's small hook no matter what.
The fishing hook is an ordinary fishing hook, and the fishing rod is also an ordinary bamboo pole, but in the hands of this old fisherman, it becomes extraordinary.
The fisherman just pulled it gently, and the strange mountain-like fish flew up and quickly shrank. When it fell into the hands of the fisherman, it was already the size of a palm.
He knocked it out with a gentle tap from the bamboo pole and then put it into the fish cage.
Then, perhaps because of the heavy wind and snow, the fisherman began to cough until he coughed up blood.
But Chen Qingshan knew that with the fishing old man's cultivation, this snowstorm was nothing.
The old fisherman stood up unsteadily and put away the fish cage: "This should be enough, enough to make a furnace of medicine."
"Refining medicine!?" Chen Qingshan was suddenly shocked. This fisherman wanted to use Xihan to refine medicine.
"Yes, when it comes to refining medicine, this idiot is a great medicine for qi and blood. It is no worse than those heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Using him as the main medicine, I want to make a great medicine for qi and blood."
Before Chen Qingshan could react, the red clay stove next to Diao Sou flew to the Yinhai Canal, slowly grew in size, and the flame at the bottom of the stove ignited spontaneously.
The water from the canal was sucked into the furnace, and the fisherman prepared to make elixirs.
"Wait a minute, senior, if it's about refining medicine, I have a better choice." Seeing that Xihan was about to be refined, Chen Qingshan made a choice and took out a large piece of flesh and blood. It was none other than the ancient god's corpse stitcher.
of flesh and blood.
This piece of flesh and blood is nearly one foot tall, accounting for about a quarter of the flesh and blood obtained by Chen Qingshan.
The moment Chen Qingshan took out the flesh and blood, Diao Sou immediately turned around.
"The flesh and blood of the ancient gods, this is such a great gesture. The blood and energy in this flesh and blood is indeed better than that of the fool. But is it worth exchanging the flesh and blood of the ancient gods for the fool?" Diao Yusou asked.
"Since the kid took it out, it's definitely worth it." Chen Qingshan bowed.
"Senior, please let me go."
The old man Diao Jiejie smiled: "He is a kind and kind boy. If my so-called brothers were half as good as you, I wouldn't have to suffer this injury."
"Take it." The old man grabbed the piece of flesh and blood, and then threw Xihan out.
"Thank you, senior." Chen Qingshan was overjoyed and was about to leave with the unconscious Xihan on his back, but was stopped by Diao Sou.
"Just wait. The old man likes you and won't take advantage of you. He will make a few pills for you to take. This qi and blood pill is useful for all monks."
Afterwards, Diaosou stopped talking and concentrated on refining the elixir.
The old man took out the medicinal herbs and put them into the stove. This was the auxiliary medicine. Then, he drank the blood of the demon in the sea channel, and finally, the flesh and blood of the ancient gods were used as the main medicine.
The flames rose, melting the flying snow, and the place where Chen Qingshan and others stood became warmer.
Two hours later, the pill was completed.
The stove rotated slowly and fell into the hands of the old man. He took out a handful of elixirs. One was golden and the others were red.
Diao Sou took the golden elixir and gave the red one to Chen Qingshan and others. He said that it was made with the remaining scraps, but it could also be said to be a great tonic for the cultivation of Chen Qingshan and others.
.
"I've been refining the medicine here for the past few days. If you need anything, come and see me." The old man said lightly, and then left.
Chen Qingshan and others also left and returned to the small courtyard of the inn.
At this time, the Sun family's apology also arrived, a relic left by a Buddhist cultivator in the Third Realm, and a box of White Yang Essence.
The relic was given to Tripitaka, while Chen Qingshan took the Baiyang marrow himself. The Baiyang marrow was taken out from the underground fire veins, and might be useful for candle lighting.
After sending away the Sun family members, Chen Qingshan couldn't wait to return to the room. Chen Qingshan knew that now was the time for his strength to reach a breakthrough.
Holding the sword stone in his hand, Chen Qingshan began to condense sword energy. As the sword stone shrank, wisps of sword energy condensed in Chen Qingshan's Dantian. As if there were spirits, the sword energy flowed happily on the three sword flowers.
It was dancing, and as the sword energy condensed, the third sword flower also fully opened.
One strand, two strands, the sword energy grew to ten strands, and then condensed together to form a sword energy pool. Three sword flowers swayed on the pool, blooming above the sword energy pool. Chen Qingshan successfully broke into the second level of sword cultivation.
Sword Qi Realm.
When he reaches the sword energy realm, there is a sword energy pool. Even if Chen Qingshan does not actively condense the sword energy, the sword energy pool will continue to produce sword energy.
Chen Qingshan was overjoyed, opened his eyes, felt his physical condition, then put the qi and blood elixir given by Diao Sou into his mouth and started refining it.
Chen Qingshan's energy and blood slowly stabilized after breaking through the realm.
Finally, Chen Qingshan took out the White Sun Essence. After the White Sun Essence was completely absorbed, Zhuzhao returned to less than half of his original appearance.
"It really works." Chen Qingshan said happily, thinking that he should buy some White Yang Essence and let Zhuzhao restore it.
Arriving at the courtyard, Chen Qingshan began to practice the first sword move in "Crazy Sword Journey", Spring Queen Water.
Snow is flying in the courtyard, and Chen Qingshan's sword energy is like water.
At dawn, someone from the county government came and said that they would invite Chen Qingshan to attend the birthday of the county magistrate's wife. At that time, all the nobles in Hancheng City would be present.
Chen Qingshan thought for a while and then agreed. He did not want to offend the county magistrate, but instead asked him to help protect Xihan in Hancheng.
Otherwise, once Chen Qingshan and others leave, Xihan's life will be the same as before, allowing others to bully him.
When Chen Qingshan comes back from Chang'an, Chen Qingshan wants to take Xihan back to Jishui Town. There is Master Bai in Jishui Town, so Xihan will not be bullied in Jishui Town.
After Chen Qingshan agreed, he went out and went to the city's chamber of commerce alone to see if there was any White Yang Essence. He could just look around and buy a gift for the county magistrate's wife tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I saw people going out to clear the snow, and an old charcoal seller driving an ox cart passed by. Villages outside the city usually burned firewood, but only the rich people in the city had access to charcoal.
Anyway, in the winter in the north of the Tang Dynasty, fire was an indispensable thing.
Those who had no money would pick up materials and burn them, and those who had money would buy charcoal to burn them. The rich and powerful in the city had fire dragons in their homes. The fire dragons connected each room, and the rooms were as warm as spring without burning a fire.
In Jishui Town, Chen Qingshan had never seen such a thing as the Earth Fire Dragon.
Firstly, it is because there are not many wealthy households in Jishui Town, and secondly, the winter in Jishui Town is not that cold.
