Chapter 17 Feng Mingyu
After taking the spirit stone, the shopkeeper handed him a few small round bronze medals and said, "Hold this in your hand to pass through the prohibition, you can go and get the medicine yourself." ”
Zhuo Yue took the small bronze medal and walked to Pei Yuandan's medicine drawer, put it in the palm of his hand as he said, and then gently pulled it again, and sure enough, it opened without hindrance, and two small white porcelain bottles popped out of it, floating in front of him.
After taking the medicine, I wanted to leave here, but I casually swept it and saw that many monks gathered in the inner hall separated by a screen, as if they were watching something, and let out a small exclamation from time to time. Zhuo Yue also wanted to join in the fun, and quietly approached, only to see a long-bearded old man standing next to a black alchemy furnace, stretching out one hand, his palm facing the alchemy furnace, and the other hand picked up the medicinal materials on the table and put them into the small opening next to the side of the alchemy furnace, and then immediately covered the small opening.
For the first time, he saw the process of alchemy with his own eyes, and at this moment he couldn't help but follow the monks to calm down, and watched the movements of the old Tao attentively, when all the medicinal materials were added, the old Tao's hands suddenly pushed forward, and the flames at the bottom of the Dan furnace were a few points blazing, reflecting the entire inner hall red, and the monks' bodies began to sweat, but no one cared.
Not long after, there was a very small cracking sound suddenly from the Dan furnace, and many people present heard it, their faces changed, and they exclaimed softly: "It's broken, it's going to fail." ”
Lao Dao was no longer as calm as before, sweat was oozing from his forehead, his movements were much faster, and the constant change of various gestures was dazzling, and the flames were sometimes strong and sometimes wanted to be extinguished with his gestures. In the end, there was still a dull explosion sound in the Dan furnace, needless to say that the refining of this furnace of Dan Medicine failed.
Zhuo Yue felt a slight pity that he couldn't see the appearance of the elixir coming out. The man standing at the front of the crowd looked depressed, and the materials he had managed to get together were gone, so his chances of breaking through the golden pill were even more slim.
"Don't worry"
Lao Dao didn't seem to give up yet, controlling the flames and chanting words, and after about ten minutes, he suddenly pronounced his hands upward, and the lid on the top of the Dan furnace bounced up, revealing a natural white round pill and two black mud. Lao Dao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out the jade bottle and put the pill into it.
The man who was originally extremely disappointed almost cried with joy when he saw this scene, "Thank you Master Xuanchen, thank you Master Xuanchen." ”
"Haha, this is as it should be, I wanted to refine it into three Tiangang Gathering Spirit Pills, but I didn't expect it to fail, I concentrated the medicinal effects of the three and finally saved one. Although he was a little regretful that he couldn't succeed in refining three, after all, he had accepted spirit stones for alchemy, and even if only one was successful, it would be of great benefit to the improvement of his fame.
"The old man is going to participate in the assessment of the Xuanpin Alchemist in the near future, if you have time, you might as well come and have a show. ”
"Definitely, definitely. ”
After the alchemy was over, the onlookers gradually dispersed, and Zhuo Yue found that coming to this ancient city really had a feeling of being separated from the world, which was different from modern civilization. Immediately thinking that Zhao Dashan was still waiting for him in front of the pharmacy, he hurriedly ran out of the door, but saw that there was another young man on its back.
"It's not like someone is bidding too high and won't carry me. ”
Zhao Dashan saw him come out, and showed his trademark weird smile, "Handsome guy, he is also going to the Ice Spirit Spring, don't mind if I take a ride." ”
The young man then cast an apologetic look, and this time pulled Zhuo Yue back to the modern era, is this a hitchhiking service? This giant tortoise must have been to a modern city, otherwise how could he be a handsome guy and a chartered car and now he still has to come to hitchhiking, and the business level is too advanced.
Zhuo Yue did not refuse, this young man looked gentle and elegant, like an ancient scholar who was polite and polite, not like he was difficult to get along with. So the two of them sat on Zhao Dashan's back and galloped towards the Ice Spirit Spring, which was said to be able to improve cultivation.
"Are alchemists also graded?" he remembered what the alchemist in the pharmacy had said before leaving, as if he was about to take some kind of assessment.
"Of course, the alchemist is divided into four levels, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the highest level of heaven, and can refine the pill above the Yuanying realm, but it only exists in ancient legends, and the current highest level in the cultivation world is only the ground-level alchemist. Zhao Dashan replied.
So that's the case, Zhuo Yue's heart moved, since Shangguan seniors are known as the top pharmacists in the cultivation world, they should also be a ground-level alchemist, if they want to refine pills in the future, maybe they can ask Shangguan seniors to take action in person, but I don't know if they can get a discount.
"Could it be that Gongzi has just stepped into the cultivation world?" the young man asked in surprise, this was the most basic common sense in the cultivation world.
"Yes. Zhuo Yue didn't think so much, and answered truthfully.
"Haha, we are really fateful, in Xia Feng Mingyu, not long after stepping into the cultivation world, he is a casual cultivator. ”
"My name is Zhuo Yue, and I am also a casual cultivator. ”
The two talked happily at first sight, Feng Mingyu had been telling him about what he had seen when he first entered the cultivation world, and Zhao Dashan would interject from time to time to solve their doubts.
Time passed, the canopy of Pangu City became as dark as the outside world, and both sides of the road were paved with beads of all sizes and the same as those on the walls of the casino, so that the entire Pangu City was shrouded in misty light, which was beautiful.
"How big is Pangu City?" Zhuo Yue exclaimed.
"This city has been built by generations of monks, and it has condensed the efforts of countless top formation masters and qi refining masters. The Ice Spirit Fountain is just ahead, and it won't be long before you can see it. Zhao Dashan reminded.
Sure enough, not long after, a majestic iceberg appeared in their eyes, "That's the Ice Spirit Spring?"
"That iceberg is made of 10,000-year-old ice spirits, and it has its own rules, and it will not melt anywhere. The Ice Spirit Spring is all over the iceberg, and bathing in the Spirit Spring for the first time can purify the body and refine the aura. After that, there is only the effect of meditation, and it is an excellent place for monks to retreat. Feng Mingyu explained.
"Brother Feng has been here?" After talking for so long, Zhuo Yue learned the words well.
"I've never been here, and it's the first time I've come to Pangu City. But I have a strategy. As he spoke, he took out a book, and a few big words on the cover made Zhuo Yue speechless, "Pangu City Travel Guide." ”
Suddenly, a black shadow swept over their heads, but it was a Jindan realm monk who rose into the air and flew towards the island floating in the sky.
"Can we go up there too?" Zhuo Yue said curiously.
"I see, it seems to be written in the travel guide. Feng Mingyu opened the book and checked it quickly, and the next moment he exclaimed, "Found it." ”
"These islands are all privately owned, and if we want to enter, we need to pay a ticket of five thousand spirit stones per person, and we can only stay for a month. ”
"It's so expensive. Zhuo Yue was taken aback, he only had one year's salary advanced by Long Lao, and the total was only 10,000 spirit stones. Zhao Dashan spent a few hundred spirit stones to buy medicine and hire a flowing cloud turtle before, and at this moment, there are more than nine thousand left. The tickets alone will consume half of the aura, and it seems that it will not be able to see the market for the time being.
"Tiandao belongs to the territory where several gates are stationed in Pangu City, and the people of the Monk Bureau and the disciples of the sect can enter and leave freely. As for the others, they have to pay spirit stones to enter, but there are a lot of interesting things on the Heavenly Island, and five thousand spirit stones are not a loss. Giant tortoise Zhao Dashan said.
"Oh, what's up there?" Hearing it say this, Zhuo Yue became interested, and his heart itched.
Zhao Dashan's turtle face twisted, and he said mysteriously: "You will know when you go up, it is so different from ancient and modern." ”
......
At this moment, on the top floor of the only high-rise building in Pangu City, Long Lao and Li Tianqi sat next to each other, with a huge circular stone table in front of them, and floor-to-ceiling windows behind them that replaced the four walls. There were also several powerful monks sitting beside the circular stone table, with different expressions, but their eyes were like torches, and their momentum was extremely terrifying.
"Why hasn't Yun Youzi come yet?" said one of the old men. However, as soon as his words fell, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked into this space, his long hair half black and half white was tied up with a wooden hairpin at random, and his arrival made Long Lao, who had closed his eyes and recuperate, open his eyes.
"Hey, that's it. Junior, you really don't know how to respect your seniors, so we have waited for so long in vain. The old man kept a smile on his face, but his tone expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yun Youzi's gaze swept over the faces of the nine monks sitting one by one, and finally fell on Li Tianqi and Long Lao, bowed his head lightly, his voice was gentle, and he said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are many Taoist affairs, and I am a little late." But there are still two most important people who haven't arrived?"
"We're waiting for you. A girl's voice came from behind him, and a man and a woman came to the top floor one after another.
The girl looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, petite and delicate, with long bright red hair flying wantonly, and followed the man in a small pink dress. The man's face was extremely young, with a cold expression and a flat head, dressed in a well-fitting black military uniform, and his right hand was casually resting on a long sword hanging from his waist.
"Oh, even our advisor and the old director are here, it's really rare. The girl winked at Long Lao and Li Tianqi with a playful face.
"Didn't I miss you, Xiaoxue, how did you miss me, an old man. Li Tianqi happily touched his beard.
The girl known as Xiaoxue, Jade Finger tapped her lips, tilted her head as if she was really thinking about his words, and after a few seconds, she suddenly snapped her fingers and said, "No, the new director is too responsible than you, you always leave things to me and run out to drink and be lazy." ”
"Forehead ......"
"Hahaha......"
There were a few people present who were familiar with Li Tianqi, and when they saw him deflated, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, including Long Lao.
"Hey, people go tea and cool. Li Tianqi said stupidly.
