Chapter 121: Zixia swallows the sun and moon, and Rich man visits a brothel

Chapter 123 Zixia swallows the sun and moon, and Rich man visits a brothel

A month later, it was midsummer.

There was no heat at all on the entire island, but instead it was cloudy and rainy without stopping.

evening.

Dense dark clouds and red clouds were mixed together, and the sky was occasionally torn apart by extremely terrifying lightning.

Deafening thunder echoed in the valley.

The blood-red clouds, the dim light, and the endless thunder seemed to be ruthlessly swallowing up this isolated island.

Rumble!

The pale lightning illuminated the cliff cave.

Zhao Qing's figure was hit deep in the cave, and it was distorted and hideous.

At this moment, he was using his spiritual consciousness as a sharp blade, carefully carving on the wall of the cave.

"Fructus aurantii, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Emerald Feather Sand, Purple Frost Fruit, Broken Love Core... they might have been used to refine the Forget Dust Pill."

"It's also possible that it was used with the Purple River Branch to refine the Barrier Breaking Pill."

"The recipe for the Forget Dust Pill also requires Atractylodes lancea, Sanguisorba officinalis, Magnolia officinalis, Schizonepeta tenuifolia, and Bombyx batryticatus..."

"The traces of Atractylodes lancea and Bombyx batryticatus are no longer detectable."

"If it's the Forget Dust Pill, then the owner of the furnace is most likely a woman."

"This is inconsistent with Shenniangwan's previous speculation."

"Similar to the Divine Brewing Pills, the one that uses elixir is also... the Seven Yin Spirit Jade Paste."

"The Seven Yin Spirit Jade Paste also uses wind vine, scutellaria, and Longquan incense..."

Zhao Qing's eyes flashed, ignoring the wind and rain outside the cave.

He glanced at the six alchemy furnaces in front of him and took the crimson stone furnace into his palm.

After a little thought, sort out your thoughts.

So began the fourth attempt.

He spoke softly, neither hurried nor slow.

"Fructus aurantii, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Cuiyusha, Purple Frost Fruit, Broken Love Root, Wind Vine, Scutellaria baicalensis, Longquanxiang, Atractylodes lancea..."

Zhao Qing sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes paused for a moment.

Within half an hour, more than 600 kinds of medicinal herbs were reported intermittently, including spiritual herbs and ordinary medicines, arranged according to their characteristics of cold and hot weather.

There are more than forty kinds of elixir recipes involved, and each of them is related to each other.

Meanwhile, in his mind...

A female alchemist, starting from the third level of foundation building, experienced the ups and downs of the world for decades, as if it were all vivid in her mind.

Every herb, every spiritual technique, every wisp of consciousness, every thought.

It was as if a fire was rising in my mind, reflecting the elixir marks that were constantly being formed by my slender fingers...

"Qianghuo, Pinellia, Baifu, Qianxingren, Dioubohu, and Tongxinwu..."

Zhao Qing's voice echoed in the cave and gradually faded away.

The crimson stone furnace in his hand slowly began to emit spiritual energy, as if undergoing indescribable changes.

At first glance, one can see that the crimson color is even more prominent, and the marks carved on the stone are full of the vicissitudes of time.

Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and after a little trial, he put the alchemy furnace into the storage ring.

Become!

He sighed softly and took out the alchemy furnace again. He felt a lump in his chest and abdomen that he would not feel relieved unless he let it out.

Before he could fully explain the story of this alchemy furnace, he was interrupted...

In an instant, Zhao Qing's mind trembled violently.

His consciousness was exceptionally clear.

He seemed to understand what elixir and Tao were.

……

Zhao Qing pondered for a long time alone.

He looked towards the red clouds in the sky and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Perhaps I misunderstood before...

There is no distinction between high and low in the trials of Danta. Level A, Level B and Level C are just additional assessments.

The true priceless treasure lies within the trials.

This is a road that leads to heaven.

It is completely different from the mundane world where people make elixirs based on herbs and formulate prescriptions based on materials.

On the first level, Zizhu was trying to teach herself...

Rely on your spiritual perception and heart to directly identify plants and trees, without the need for years of accumulation or seeing too many herbs.

If the mind is unstable, then neither the plants nor the trees will be stable.

A month's time is more like...

It gives everyone a chance to truly communicate with plants and trees.

Not knowing its nature, nor understanding why it was born or buried - but instead, one can better appreciate the uniqueness of each spiritual herb and the vitality of each spiritual fruit.

Perhaps, if I insist on relying on my instinct to identify plants and trees, I will also have a chance to advance in the trial.

On the second level, Zizhu was trying to teach herself...

Using the elixir and grass ashes in the alchemy furnace, one can peek into the medicinal herbs in the elixir recipe and comprehend the thoughts and experiences of another alchemist.

That is the true scripture that only the alchemist can understand, engraved into a book with elixir energy, grass ashes, and the passage of time.

Even after going through endless storms, the scriptures are as eternal and long-lasting as the sun and the moon.

Zhao Qing felt the fatigue coming from the Mingtang, but he himself seemed even more energetic.

I just feel that all the alchemy techniques and medicinal herbs in the foundation-building period have been completely mastered at this moment.

The knowledge and skills brought by the panel are just a stepping stone.

The true road is just under the waterfall.

In the turbulent flow, beside the endless deep pool, it was not the alchemy furnace that was floating up and down.

Rather, it is ten thousand volumes of scriptures and the life experiences of ten thousand alchemy masters.

There are actually 20,000 alchemists on this isolated island.

Choosing an alchemy furnace is equivalent to choosing a master. As for whether you can learn it or not... it depends on yourself.

Zhao Qing was lost in thought, his gaze gazing into the depths of the dark clouds.

There, there is a bright star obscured by clouds and rain.

"Purple Pearl Tower, Alchemy..."

He suddenly felt endless awe for the twelfth floor.

After only two levels of trials, his understanding of alchemy was elevated to several levels.

This is far beyond the reach of the panel.

The true ultimate alchemy...

Zixia swallows the sun and the moon, and the heavenly elixir descends from the pearl tower.

No exaggeration!

Even for a Class C trialist, if he can seriously comprehend a good-quality alchemy furnace, the benefits will be immeasurable.

Since the choices for the trial are all spiritual weapons...

Perhaps these alchemy furnaces really are spiritual.

The next moment, Zhao Qing's expression changed slightly and he collected his thoughts.

Sun Shixuan is back again... This guy is really capable. I haven't been disturbed at all in the past month.

He put the crimson alchemy furnace into his storage ring. It was a top-grade spiritual weapon… He had already passed the second level of the trial.

"Fellow Daoist Wang!"

Sun Shixuan fell out of the cave and walked over.

He glanced at the alchemy furnace on the ground, and immediately his eyes were filled with surprise and doubt.

"You succeeded!?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "It was a fluke."

"How many elixir herbs did you buy on this trip, Fellow Daoist Sun?"

Sun Shixuan's eyes flickered, and seeing that Wang Teng didn't say much, he didn't ask any more questions.

Every alchemy furnace is different, and other people's experience is useless for your own trial.

At this moment, he shook his head and said, "Forty-six kinds."

"This Mithril Furnace has already refined twenty-seven medicinal pills, totaling four hundred kinds of medicinal herbs."

"It's a pity that we are all Qi Refining Alchemists. Even if we have some exotic herbs, it is extremely difficult to collect 500 different kinds of alchemy materials."

"Most of them are spiritual herbs that assist spiritual consciousness, such as Jade Dew or Shenna Flower..."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly.

I am in the same situation. The medicinal materials I carry with me are all for my own use, and there are not many types.

He thought for a moment and then said, "I do have eighty kinds of elixir materials, but the quantity is very small."

Sun Shixuan was stunned when he heard this.

"Eighty kinds!?"

"I understand what Fellow Daoist Wang means, but I've seen all kinds of elixir materials before, so perhaps most of them are repeated."

Zhao Qing smiled and shook his head.

After a month of contact, he already had enough understanding of Sun Shixuan.

Lei Huangzhou, a descendant of the Sun family's side branch.

There are two Nascent Soul masters in the family, so they are not a family of alchemy.

However, among the younger generation, Sun Shixuan's alchemy skills are also extraordinary.

And... he's a rich guy.

He whispered, "My eighty kinds of elixir materials are completely different from others, but since it involves private matters, it is inconvenient to take them out before."

"Even my fellow Taoist priests are completely unaware of this."

"If I can help you right now, you don't have to worry about too many trivial matters."

Sun Shixuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

He smiled and said, "Friend Wang, you also understand my situation."

"The alchemy furnace is just a top-grade spiritual weapon. What I really want is a promotion spot to the third level of the Dan Tower."

"Eighty kinds of elixir herbs, sixteen thousand spirit stones."

He thought for a moment and added, "But you have to give me your elixir recipe as well. Otherwise, if I only have the elixir herbs, it will be difficult to combine and use them up."

Zhao Qing's expression kept changing.

Until one hundred and sixty medium-grade spirit stones appeared before his eyes.

He then said in a hoarse voice, "Well, I have always kept these medicinal herbs at the bottom of the box and never showed them to anyone."

The next moment, he took out eighty kinds of herbs from his storage ring and placed them on both sides.

Then he took out a piece of spiritual jade and engraved the elixir recipe on it.

"Mouth Pills, Yangchun Liquid, Ice and Fire Paste, Foxtail Powder, Spring Breeze Ferry..."

Zhao Qing frowned slightly and asked softly, "Fellow Daoist Sun, are these medicinal herbs the same as the ones you have in your hand?"

Sun Shixuan locked onto the recipe on the spirit jade with his spiritual sense. With a strange look on his face, he whispered, "No, but I have heard of similar elixirs in brothels..."

Zhao Qing shook his head helplessly and put all 160 medium-grade spirit stones into his pocket.
