In the dilapidated corridor of Taihe Temple, Lin Qianxing's eyebrows were shining with golden light, and he was holding Guan Yusheng on his shoulders. The two of them were walking forward slowly.
"You mean, his intention is not revenge?" Guan Yusheng said.
"How fresh, who can't see it?" Lin Qianxing complained, and then said to Guan Yusheng: "Except you."
"Did you scold me?" Guan Yusheng said with wide eyes.
"This is not a scolding, it is just an affirmation of your IQ." Lin Qianxing said.
"Thank you." Guan Yusheng smiled upon hearing this.
Lin Qianxing had nothing to say and could only give a thumbs up.
"He is a very smart man. I have read his story. He is definitely not the kind of person who likes to get into trouble, so he has held a grudge for more than a thousand years because of his exile from a school. He wants to come back and fight with the school.
But I don’t believe in cause and effect.” Lin Qianxing shook his head and explained.
"Then what is his real purpose?" Guan Yusheng asked again.
"Ritual." Lin Qianxing said: "This is the only possibility. He is holding a ceremony for his promotion through the academy and the officials of Da Zhi Kingdom. The academy and they also know this, but for the fourth-level corpse puppet
, were they willing to be fooled, or in other words, accepted the deal? "
"Ritual?" Guan Yusheng frowned and said, "You mean, he is not the fourth level yet? But how did he make that fourth-level corpse puppet?"
"Isn't it normal that the level of the work is lower than that of the works you create? When I am at the second level, I can create third-level artifacts at will." Lin Qianxing said.
"That's right, I also prepared third-level potions when I was at the second level." Guan Yusheng nodded.
While walking, Lin Qianxing suddenly stopped, then turned in another direction and hit a wall. Guan Yusheng was so frightened that he exclaimed: "Watch the road!"
Surprisingly, Lin Qianxing passed through the wall and entered a cemetery.
There are endless graves in this cemetery, with accumulated corpses everywhere, and the ground is paved with corpses, including those of humans and other strange animals.
After Lin Qianxing's foot stepped on it, it collapsed and cracked, turning into countless broken bones, and Lin Qianxing's foot also fell into the broken bones.
Buzz~!
The injector behind Lin Qianxing was activated, spraying out a stream of golden particles, allowing him to walk lightly over the bones.
"How many creatures has he killed? It's probably half a meter thick down there!!" Lin Qianxing complained.
"These bones obviously look very fresh, how could they break apart like this?" Guan Yusheng said in confusion: "The "qi" in them is gone, has it been taken away? What does he want to do?"
"I heard that pretender Zhuang Ji said that there was a special third-level Taoist profession in Taihe Temple back then, called [Alchemy Master]." Lin Qianxing said.
"Elixir?" Guan Yusheng said suddenly.
It is different from the pills Lin Qianxing came into contact with in the main world.
The refining of elixirs in this world is not entirely a mixture of various materials. The intersection of yin and yang harmonizes the properties of the medicine and finally creates an elixir.
This method is more likely to be medicine than elixir in this world.
Dan has a special meaning in this world.
[Alchemist] is also a special Taoist profession.
When they make elixirs, they have to pay attention to the time, place, and people.
Every time you open the furnace, the time must be right, the state of mind must be right, the materials and methods must be unique, and the people who make the elixir and take the elixir must also be right. Only when heaven, earth and man are united can a truly successful elixir containing the wisdom of heaven and earth be produced.
In order to wait for an opportunity to open the furnace, some of their alchemy masters will brew for several years, even decades.
Their elixirs are no longer a means of auxiliary practice, but they use elixirs to cultivate their own way.
The way of alchemy is their way.
Lin Qianxing is willing to get involved in this matter this time. Any attempt to find Zhuang Ji's knowledge or learn from the corpse puppet is all fake.
His real purpose is to find a way to take up the Taoist position of [Alchemist].
Lin Qianxing wanted to use this to corroborate his alchemy so that he could make great progress.
After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, searching for traces on the white bones, Lin Qianxing saw a platform made of bones. On that platform, Mu Cheng was quietly looking at the empty sky in a daze.
In front of it is a white skull the size of a fist suspended in the void.
"You're here, sit down." Mu Cheng seemed to notice Lin Qianxing and turned to Lin Qianxing with a smile.
Lin Qianxing was not polite, stepped forward, sat opposite Mu Cheng, and lifted Guan Yusheng from his shoulders and threw him to his side.
Guan Yusheng was dissatisfied with Lin Qianxing's rough hands, but he still didn't dare to say anything.
"Is this your elixir?" Lin Qianxing asked, pointing to the white skull.
"Yes, it will be done soon." Mu Cheng nodded.
"Can you explain it easily?" Lin Qianxing asked again.
"I thought you would come up to rob or stop me, but you are smarter than I thought." Mu Cheng said with slight approval: "You are indeed a powerful person from the upper world."
When the person next to him heard this, Guan Yusheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Qianxing in disbelief.
Is he a powerful person who came down from the upper world?
"I can see that its context seems to involve everything around it." Lin Qianxing said.
In Lin Qianxing's observation with his heavenly eyes, this human head hanging in the air carries many things, which are extremely mysterious. Infinite veins extend from it, absorbing the spiritual essence of the surrounding bones, and at the same time, it also absorbs the essence of the bones from the void.
He continued to absorb some power that even Lin Qianxing found incomprehensible, and perfected his existence.
"This is my Tao, the perfect Tao that I have built over a thousand years." Mu Cheng said with some excitement.
It's rare to meet a knowledgeable person, and he doesn't mind saying a few words.
"More than a thousand years ago, I pushed the two professions of [Puppet Controller] and [Corpse Controller] to their peak, and wanted to evolve a new path from them, but before I could succeed, the Palace Master of the Academy
He thought that my research was too harmful to nature, so he drove me to Taihe Temple and asked me to cultivate my moral character here."
Mu Cheng talked about his past, and said: "After I came here, I realized that the academy did not allow me to cultivate my moral character, but it saw what I lacked and allowed me to continue to perfect my way here. I
I obtained a new Taoist position here, [Tao Tong], and pushed it step by step to its peak, becoming a third-level ultimate [Alchemy Master]. It only took less than twenty years. My teachers all said
I am a genius."
"At this point, I have done everything I need to do. The last step is to refine the elixir and achieve enlightenment."
"But finding the right time, the right materials, and the right place to make elixirs requires waiting for the opportunity."
"I can't wait any longer. I'm too talented. I want to go against the will of heaven. Man can defeat nature and create opportunities that suit me the day after tomorrow."
Having said this, Mu Cheng showed some emotion on his face.
"I am too smart. My wisdom has harmed me. Human power cannot be compared with that of heaven and earth. The Taihe Temple was completely destroyed overnight. All the creatures for hundreds of miles around the Taihe Temple were shaped by me.
I was harmed by the weather. In order to protect me, my teacher died.”
"I know that I was too eager. The academy sent me to the barbarian realm and asked me to repent there."
"I settled down and waited for the opportunity again. In the process, I mastered a new Taoist profession [War Wizard]. It unexpectedly fit in with my Tao and allowed me to combine what I had accumulated."
"All that's left is to wait for an opportunity."
"I'm waiting for an opportunity that allows me to start making alchemy."
"Finally, more than a thousand years later, I saw the possibility, so I quickly calculated the direction, looking for the right location, material, and timing."
"Using Mount Taihe as the furnace, their fighting spirit as the guide, these tens of millions of corpses as the supplement, the old temple master's head as the core, and my wisdom as the source, drawing countless inspirations, until noon, this
When the elixir is completed by itself, my way will also be completed."
After telling the story, Mu Cheng looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "What do you think of this story?"
"It's a very interesting alchemy theory. They are obviously completely unrelated things, but when combined together, they can be turned into elixirs that contain "principles."" As he spoke, Lin Qianxing's metal-covered cheeks actually showed signs of
with an interested expression.
Compared to Lin Qianxing, Guan Yusheng next to him seemed a little confused.
He didn't quite understand things like Dan.
After all, it is a very random thing.
The same elixir may be refined from two different materials using very different materials, and it is uncertain when it will be refined again. If the right time, place and people are not matched, the elixir will be useless in one batch.
It's two different things from medicines that can be produced repeatedly.
At this time, Guan Yusheng looked up at the sky and found that the sun had deflected above their heads.
歘~!
A ray of golden light fell from the sky and landed directly on the skull hanging in the void.
Under the illumination of the golden light, the skull became bright and golden, gradually became rounded, and turned into a golden elixir, into which the power from the infinite net was continuously poured into.
In the process, Lin Qianxing discovered something that shocked him extremely.
"Is our arrival and observation actually part of your success?" Lin Qianxing said in surprise.
"Thank you for observing, otherwise, it would not be an elixir, it would still be just bones." Mu Cheng said with a smile.
"Causation is involved, fate is the core, and the shape is determined after observation." Lin Qianxing nodded suddenly.
From the moment Mu Cheng calculated the timing of the alchemy, everything today was almost doomed.
As long as there are no causal disturbing factors that are greater than him, and he himself does not do other things, then his success is inevitable.
This is the alchemy path of [alchemists] in this world.
The principles it covers are complex and mysterious, and it is not just as simple as refining alchemy.
In other words, the final alchemy is just a result.
The entire process of preparing for alchemy is the real core of the alchemy path in this world.
So it's no wonder that old guys like Zhuang Ji and Deng Chen don't want to get involved.
If they were to prevent Mu Cheng from attaining enlightenment, they would definitely have to bear a huge amount of karma. They would be causing trouble for themselves.
Gradually, the golden light of the sun dissipated, and the golden elixir was suspended in the void, revealing an extremely alluring light.
Guan Yusheng stood up and seemed to have the idea of snatching it.
"It's useless to grab it. This is his elixir. After the elixir is completed, only he can eat it." Lin Qianxing pressed Guan Yusheng's little head and said, "Besides, you may not be able to touch it."
Guan Yusheng obviously didn't believe it, so he raised his hand to grab it.
Mu Cheng didn't stop him either.
Then Guan Yusheng's palm crossed the elixir.
The golden elixir seemed to be nothing, and was not touched by Guan Yusheng at all.
"How is that possible?" Guan Yusheng said with a hint of regret and confusion.
"I've already said it, that's his way." Lin Qianxing shook his head helplessly and said.
Mu Cheng smiled and took off the golden elixir, looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Brother Taoist, please witness Mu Cheng's attainment of Taoism."
After saying that, he gently put the golden elixir into his mouth.
