Chapter Twelve: Concentrating on the Heart Pill
In the evening, Zhong Xinghe and his party were invited to a banquet in the Fengting Courtyard of Hefu.
"Brother-in-law, I don't know if you heard that the second prince, Tang Tai, is also coming to participate in the Youth Conference?" Zhong Xinghe asked.
Hehe, it seems that after the brother-in-law came, he was not idle, and the news was heard. That's right, the second prince Tang Tai is indeed going to participate.
Why did the Martial King Tang Long send the second prince to participate? If he came for a rich reward, how could the Martial King lack so many silver coins.
"Martial King Tang Long sent the second prince here, in fact, there is a purpose, and the brother-in-law only knows one but not the other!"
"Oh, I want to hear about it!"
In fact, this youth conference is nominally jointly organized by our four major cultivation families, but it is not.
"Isn't this Youth Conference jointly organized by the four of you?" Zhong Xinghe said in surprise.
It's true in name, but this time the organizer is really not the four of us, but actually the Martial King. The prizes held by the previous conference were: 1 million silver coins for the first place, 500,000 silver coins for the second place, and 200,000 silver coins for the third place. But this time, the Martial King raised the price, as long as he won the first reward: a Blood Qi Pill, plus a Kunwu Sword, and two million silver coins. However, the rewards for the second and third places have not changed. After I learned of the great reward of this first place, I invited you to participate.
This blood qi pill is okay, it is worth no more than 100,000 silver coins, if you really need it, you can also buy it, but this kunwu sword is a medium-grade mysterious weapon left by the kunwu dao people in the secret realm, how can this martial king be willing to take this thing out as a reward. You must know that in this secret realm where there is a lack of materials, the value of a mysterious weapon can no longer be measured in silver coins, it is priceless.
Above the three grades of mortal weapons is the mysterious weapon, how can this martial king not know. He is the king of a country, how can he be a fool, and how can this Kunwu sword not be easily snatched away. I'm afraid that this martial king sent the second prince to participate in this youth conference, just for this Kunwu sword. It is said that the second prince Tang Tai's current cultivation has a strength of 7,000 catties, and who can match it among the younger generation.
Seven thousand jin of strength! These two princes are indeed a cultivation genius. But why did the Martial King bother with such effort, why not just reward the Kunwu Sword to the second prince, is it ...... to toss like this!
What Zhong Xinghe was about to say at this time suddenly paused for a moment, and then spoke again.
"Could it be that King Wu deliberately wants to cultivate the second prince, that is, to let his first name shock the world, get the Xuanwu Kunwu Sword, and then let him inherit the royal academy, and then pass on his throne to the second prince in the future?"
The brother-in-law guessed well, this royal relationship is complicated, especially about the succession to the throne, which is extremely sensitive. And although this royal academy was built by King Wu himself, after so many years, I am afraid that there are many factions among the princes, and now King Wu is not easy to control. Only at this time, a talented prince is pushed to the throne, and then he takes the opportunity to settle the situation, so that the rebellion can be quelled and the overall situation of the DPRK and China can be stabilized.
It seems that King Wu is really a shrewd person, but this time the Youth Conference, what kind of attitude should we take to participate, the strength of the two princes is 7,000 catties, I am afraid that the first is stable. Zhong Xinghe said frankly.
That can't be helped, in this secret realm, the strong are already respected. Originally, I heard that Yuan'er cultivated to a thousand catties, and he would definitely be able to win the Kunwu sword, but I didn't expect to learn later that the second prince was going to participate, and it seems that the Kunwu sword is hopeless!
Knowing that the second prince participated in the Kunwu sword, even if Yuan'er could win the second prince, how could King Wu explain?
There is no need to worry, the reward of this youth conference is naturally the living of the capable, since the king of martial arts will take the Kunwu sword as a reward, how can he regret it, he is the king of a country. If the second prince fails to get the Kunwu sword, in a few years, this Kunwu sword will actually appear in the hands of the Martial King again, in this way, wouldn't everyone in the world say that his Martial King is a person who has no faith in his words. Therefore, as long as there is a chance, it is better to win the Kunwu Sword, so that it can also strengthen its own strength.
"Hehe, my brother-in-law is thoughtful, but I don't think it's hopeless. Let's not talk about that for now, let's drink and catch up today!" said the two of them, and they began to raise their glasses at the same time.
On the other side of the Wind Pavilion Courtyard, Zhong Yuan chatted for a long time with his aunt, who he hadn't seen for many years, and the two chatted about homely topics.
But at this moment, He Mingyuan came back from nowhere.
Seeing this, He Mingyuan raised his leg and was about to flee, but how could Zhong Yuan let him escape. I saw that Zhong Yuan was like an eagle catching a chicken, got up and left his aunt's side, came to He Mingyuan with a jump, and grabbed He Mingyuan's wrist with a raised hand.
"Cousin Mingyuan, why do you want to run away when you see me?
Shh......h
"It seems that my silver coins have indeed been squandered by you, so how are you going to compensate me next?" Zhong Yuan asked.
Cousin, I've been a little nervous lately, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to pay you back this 10,000 silver coins for the time being.
"If you can't pay a sentence, you can think of a hundred, such a simple coping, what do you say? Why don't I go to my aunt now, she must have." As soon as these words came out, He Mingyuan suddenly cried.
"Cousin Zhongyuan, don't worry, I will definitely return your silver coins to you, don't tell your aunt, otherwise my cousin will be punished again!" Why don't I go back and ask my uncle for a little, and then slowly return it to you? He Mingyuan smiled.
Hey, He Mingyuan. You are really thick-skinned! You actually asked my father for money, and he still owes me money! Zhong Yuan was very helpless, who made him believe He Mingyuan, and he knew at the time that He Mingyuan was very likely to squander the silver coins he gave him, but he still chose to believe him at that time and let him buy it.
Hey, forget it. "I'll just take it as a poverty alleviation!" Zhong Yuan sighed, then let go of He Mingyuan's wrist, turned around and returned to his aunt's side again.
Yuan'er, what are you doing with your cousin in such a hurry?
At this time, I saw He Mingyuan's pitiful appearance pleading with Zhong Yuan. "It's okay, it's just a simple chat with my cousin. When He Mingyuan heard this, he hurriedly folded his hands and continued to express his gratitude to Zhong Yuan.
It was getting late, time was passing little by little, and there were fewer and fewer people at the banquet at this time, and everyone began to leave the table one after another.
Zhong Yuan got up and supported his aunt, and then sent her out of the house, and then returned to the cool courtyard where he lived, and when he came to the house, Zhong Yuan sat cross-legged.
Thinking back to his conversation with his aunt today, he promised to cure her of her illness. Then he began to recall all kinds of memories of alchemy in his previous life, as well as some pill prescriptions.
After a short period of reminiscence, he really recalled that a pill can treat heart qi deficiency, palpitations, sweating, irritability, irregular heartbeat, and other heart diseases.
This pill is called Erpin Dan, "Ning Shen Zhen Xin Dan", and the medicines required for refining are divided into, "Iron powder, snake yellow, ochre (ochre), sycophant, musk (she incense), schisandra, ginseng, hyssop." ”
Looks like I'm going to find the Master Yan I saw today. Without his help, with his current strength, how could he refine the elixir.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yuan slowly got up and came outside the house.
By this time it was already dark.
Who? Come out! The patrolling He guard shouted.
I am Young Master Zhongyuan, you take me to see Master Yan at this moment, I have some things to ask Master Yan.
Oh, it turned out to be the young master of the Zhong family, and his subordinates visited the young master Zhong. However, this place where Master Yan lives, even if we can't go and disturb it, this is the order of the patriarch, I'm afraid it won't work!"
Besides, your patriarch is my uncle, and even if my uncle finds out, I will say that I found it myself, and if I don't confess you, how will my uncle know!
That's right, it's still the young master Zhong who is smart, how could I not think about it. However, Young Master Zhong must not confess us at that time, otherwise, we will be severely punished by the clan.
"You can rest assured!" Zhong Yuan responded.
Under the leadership of the guards of the He clan's patrol, Zhong Yuan passed through several small courtyards and finally came to a relatively hidden small mansion.
"Young Master Zhong, this is the place where Master Yan lives, I'll retreat first!"
Zhong Yuan turned around and waved his hand.
Just after the He Clan's guards left, Zhong Yuan took a deep breath, and a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs suddenly came to his face.
It seems that Master Yan at this time is refining the "Yun Ling Pill", although this Yun Ling Pill is not an extremely precious elixir, but for the monks in the Qi refining period, it can improve the key cultivation pace. However, at present, in the Kunlun Secret Realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and the elixir fairy grass is scarce, and this elixir must be regarded as a precious elixir in this secret realm.
