Zishang entered the fairy cave, the cat bent down into the depths of the cave, and found that at the source of the Lingquan stream, there was a five-zhang square pool, and there seemed to be a dark spring at the bottom of the pool to replenish the pool water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the rich aura volatilized in the air, there was also a large amount of snake breath remaining.

It seems that this is the nest of the "snake Jiao". Zishang muttered.

Looking at a pool of spiritual spring water, Zishang couldn't be happy.

In this pool, there are tens of thousands of snakes......! How dare you compliment......

Thinking about the spiritual spring he used to take also flowed from here, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.

"It's strange, why didn't you taste the snake smell when you drank the spiritual spring before?"

"And I've drunk the spiritual spring for so long, and there is no problem, which means that this snake group is a non-venomous snake, so this water should not be poisonous. ”

Thinking about it, Zishang hesitantly stretched out his right hand, his face twitched, and he dipped his fingers in the pool water with his fingers somewhat unnaturally, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and after tasting it, Zishang frowned again.

"Isn't that right? Why is there so little aura?"

In order to prevent a mistake in judgment, he picked up some of them by hand and drank them into his mouth, and as a result, he was even more puzzled.

The aura content of this pool of water was far inferior to the spiritual springs he usually took, and it was probably two or three times higher than the aura content in the air.

However, when he saw the mist-like aura around him, Zishang immediately understood.

The snake king of this snake nest has been entrenched here for a long time, and when he mutates and evolves, he needs to absorb a large amount of aura. Although it was interrupted by the hole card of the merchant, since the snake king partially evolved into a "snake jiao", then it has absorbed a large amount of aura, so the aura in the pool water has been consumed a lot.

However, judging from the surrounding aura mist and the aura content of the pool water, even without the interference of Zishang, it is impossible for the Snake King to evolve into a real "Jiao".

The transformation of the "Snake Jiao" has only completed about two percent, although there is a dark spring at the bottom of the pool, but the supply speed is far from slow to consume, so the aura here cannot support its complete transformation at all.

"No, don't you have any treasures?What have I been doing most of the day~"

Zishang sat slumped on the ground, full of grief and indignation, originally thinking of finding some treasures to improve his realm, but he was almost eaten by a group of snakes, and now he has not gained anything, so embarrassing......

However, it can't be said that there is no gain, at least he knows that the spiritual springs he drank before are the bath water of a group of large and small snakes......

But what's the point......

"Alas, go back, there's still a rudimentary Neidan. Zishang sighed and walked out of the cave in frustration.

At this time, a lot of dark clouds have gathered in the pre-dawn sky, and it seems that there will be a heavy rain today.

Trotting all the way, as soon as Zishang entered his small courtyard, a bright light flashed, and then a "boom" explosion echoed in the mountains. He looked up at the gloomy sky, a few drops of rain fell on his face, but after two or three breaths, the downpour "poured" down.

Zishang muttered: "It seems that the two sessions are going to be postponed." ”

The rain kept falling, like a little girl abandoned by her lover and crying uncontrollably......

At the end of the day, Ziyun saw that the weather was so bad, so he sent a servant to inform the families that the two meetings would be postponed for one or two days.

At noon, the merchant woke up from his dream, washed and changed his clothes, and came to the medicine building in the west of the village.

This is not only a medical workshop in the village, but also a pharmacy that produces auxiliary drugs for martial artists.

Since Emperor Wending, there have been massive resources stored here all year round, which are regularly updated. In addition, medicine fields and small medicine valleys have been opened up in many places in the forty-mile long mountain.

After the Shang was wiped out, Ziyun and the others brought another batch of resources, which could support the cultivation needs of the clansmen for more than 20 years.

The medicine building in Shigu Village has an elegant name: "Qing Bao Pavilion", the owner of the medicine house is the uncle and grandfather of Zishang, a famous doctor in the history of the Shang Dynasty, and a descendant of the ancient Qibo - Yuanhua.

In the medical world, the level of top doctors is divided into four levels: [Qi Huang Doctor], [Miao Xuan Shu Doctor], [Shengkun Medical Immortal], and [Heavenly Mandate Divine Doctor].

So far, there is no historical record that someone has reached the highest realm [Heavenly Mandate Divine Doctor], and whether this realm exists or not is unknown, perhaps it is just an extreme fantasy in the medical world.

Yuanhua, the master of the "Green Bag Pavilion", stepped into the realm of [Shengkun Medical Immortal] the year before last! Although it has only just reached the threshold, it can also rank among the top five in the history of the Shang Dynasty.

At the same time, he was also the only master of the God Refining Realm in the entire village.

However, he specializes in medical skills, and his martial arts are not outstanding. Even so, his strength is much stronger than Ziyun.

The sub-merchant came here to buy some medicinal materials, configure the elixir by himself, and then cooperate with the absorption of the prototype of the "snake Jiao".

"Uncle, I want to buy ......."

"Shh

Zishang noisily entered the "Green Bag Pavilion", and a man in his thirties covered his mouth and signaled him to be quiet.

The man pulled him into a small room next to him, closed the door tightly, turned to him and said, "Don't make any noise! Your cousin Ziyi is alchemizing, a Xuan-level elixir, if he succeeds in refining, he will officially become a [Miao Xuanshu Doctor]!"

Zishang exclaimed: "Miao Xuan Doctor?!Ziyi is so powerful?Take me to observe and observe!"

The man hesitated for a while, Zi Yi's refining of Xuan-level pills was also a rare learning opportunity for him, and he didn't want to watch Zishang here, thus delaying such an opportunity to refine Xuan-level pills, so he said, "Then don't make trouble!"

With that, he took Zishang to the back room, which was a little crowded at this time. There are nearly 30 people gathered here, all of whom are Yuanhua's apprentices, and they surround a huge Ding furnace with a diameter of half a zhang and a height of about five feet, which is the "Qingxuan Ding", one of the three treasures of the [Qing Capsule Pavilion].

And by the Ding furnace, there is a person standing on a low ladder, waving his hands at the hot Ding furnace, the surrounding air flow is surging, and the fragrance of medicine is overflowing.

This person is Zishang's cousin, thirty-year-old Ziyi, one of Yuanhua's proud disciples, and now his strength is as high as the Triple Realm of Qi Refining.

Zishang smelled the smell of medicine in the air, thought for a while, and muttered alone: "Qi gathering grass, five-flavor flowers, condensation bamboo shoots...... This is refining the Qi Condensing Pill?"

For medicine, Zishang's talent is not high, but his interest in herbal medicine and Qihuang is still quite high, so he often studies the "Ten Thousand Volumes of Materia Medica" and knows most common medicinal materials well.

However, he has always only studied in theory, and has never practiced it himself.

Seeing that Ziyi was refining the Xuan-level Qi Condensation Pill, Zishang couldn't help but lean over and watch carefully.

At this time, Ziyi was staring nervously at the Ding Furnace, his forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and now it was the critical period of Cheng Dan, everyone held their breath and stared at the Ding Furnace.

Inside the ding is a viscous light blue porridge-like substance, which is spinning slowly, and bubbles are gushing out from time to time, and the color at the edges gradually fades, and the light blue in the center gradually changes to a darker sky blue.

"Not good...... I can't hold on!" Zi Yi, who was trying his best to release his true qi, suddenly turned black in front of his eyes, shook his body, and exclaimed!

Seeing that Ziyi's alchemy failed, the two friends beside him hurriedly supported him and helped him to sit down.

Losing the oppression of true qi, the medicinal materials in the Ding were no longer condensed, and everyone sighed one after another, the Xuan-level pill was really not easy to refine.

"Ziyi, you are too confident, if you choose an ordinary awakening pill and detoxification pill, you will definitely refine it. But you have to refine the Qi Condensation Pill, it's good now, the Dan has not been practiced, and so many medicinal materials have been wasted. One of them complained.

The Awakening Pill and the Detoxification Pill are the most common Xuan-level pills, and although the Qi Condensing Pill is only the primary product of the Xuan-level Pill, it is also considered the top among the primary products.

Ziyi overestimated his level, and as a result, at the end of Cheng Dan, his true qi was exhausted, and he failed to practice Qi Condensing Dan.

"The master is back!"

A Yuanhua disciple outside the door said in surprise. The people in the house walked out one after another and saluted the master, and even Ziyi just looked at the Ding furnace and walked out.

Zishang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly put on special gloves, took down a large jade bottle from the table on the side, climbed the low ladder in three or two, and scooped the jade bottle in the ding.

After "succeeding", Zishang immediately came down, stuffed the jade bottle tightly, hid it in his arms, and went out with the crowd.

In the midst of everyone's chatter, the Yuanhua Medical Immortal knew that Ziyi's alchemy had failed, so he was surrounded by apprentices and prepared to enter the alchemy room to investigate.

At this time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zi Shang and said, "Alas, Zi Shang, why are you here?

Yuanhua's image of Zishang is still very good, although Zishang is generally talented in medicine, but he is interested and enthusiastic, and he is already proficient in all kinds of basic medical knowledge at a young age.

"Uncle and grandpa, I'll get some body refining herbs. ”

"Oh, that's it, Zheng Jiu, you go and help Zishang get some medicinal herbs, go quickly!" Yuanhua instructed an apprentice behind him, Zheng Jiu nodded, answered, and took Zishang to the medicinal herb room.

When he arrived at the medicinal herb room, Zheng Jiu asked, "Zishang, what medicinal materials do you want?"

"Hmm...... Forging Bone Pattern Grass, Grinding Mortar, Linghe Algae......" Zishang said seventeen flavors of medicinal materials in a row, and Zheng Jiu couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and couldn't help but say:

"Alas, you little devils are really foolish, Zi Axis, Zi Zhang, Zixu and a few of them have also asked for a bunch of medicinal materials in the past few days, you are so eager for quick success, you will leave hidden dangers!"

"Oh, it's okay, although the medicinal power of forging bone pattern grass and grinding mortar is relatively strong, but I didn't pick a lot of mild medicinal materials to ease the medicinal power, it's okay. Zishang argued with a smile.

Zheng Jiu said helplessly: "Although you have eased the medicinal power in this way, the overall medicinal power will increase a lot, and a lot of medicinal power will be wasted!"

Zishang said with a sloppy look: "Don't worry, I won't use it all at once, it's okay, relax!"

Although he complained, Zheng Jiu still helped him get the medicinal materials he wanted, and Zheng Jiu, who wanted to continue nagging, was blocked by various promises and excuses from Zishang.

The merchant returned to his residence with a bunch of medicinal herbs, and immediately asked the servant to prepare a large bucket of hot water, grind the medicinal herbs such as forging bone pattern grass and Linghe algae into powder, pour it inside, and stir the potion evenly with a large water scoop.

Subsequently, he took the inner pill, the prototype of the snake jiao, mixed with the remaining medicinal liquid from Ziyi's refining of the "Qi Condensing Pill".

After the entrance of the medicinal liquid, Zishang's eyes suddenly widened, and just now he clearly felt two pill-shaped objects!

"Could it be...... Cousin Ziyi's refining has been successful?"

"No, it should be a semi-finished product!"

Although the effect of the half-finished Qi Condensing Pill was excellent, and even the medicinal power exerted in a short period of time was stronger than that of the Snake Jiao's rudimentary Inner Dan, but the genuine Qi Condensing Pill was a Xuan-level pill after all, and it was definitely not just such medicinal power.

However, for Zishang, who was still in the Body Refining Realm, he could just withstand this level of elixir, and the effect was just right.

After taking the rudimentary inner pill and the semi-finished condensing pill, Zishang jumped into the bathtub.

The moment he jumped in, he couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body, it felt really sour!

Zi Shang was stimulated by the violent medicinal power, his face was red, the pores of his whole body were opened, and the medicinal power in the bucket penetrated into his skin like a needle prick! The rudimentary inner pill that he drank into his stomach began to dissolve, mixed with the medicinal power of the "pseudo-condensing qi pill" to quench his internal organs, but this brought him a cool feeling.

However, as the medicinal power of the rudimentary inner pill became more and more intense, Zishang felt as if his body was filled with mercury, and every breath was very difficult.

Gradually, Zishang curled up in pain, barely exposing his head, his mouth opened wide, as if he was suffocating, and the ferocious medicinal power made him sweat profusely, and he couldn't scream when he wanted to.

The hot air in the room was rolling, and the thick smell of medicine was full of it, and Zishang tried his best to control the innate aura in his body, wanting the aura of the rudimentary inner pill, but the pain and suffocation made him unable to control the innate aura normally, and even if he could control it, he couldn't resist such a violent impact of medicinal power.

Now he could only resist the violent medicinal power, but Zishang overestimated his physical fitness.

After only gritting his teeth and holding on for five minutes, Zishang's consciousness was already blurred, and the whole person fell into the medicine barrel. This was the first time that Zishang felt the breath of death.

The nasal cavity has been soaked with liquid medicine, and the violent force of the medicine has burst the capillaries, the nosebleeds can't stop flowing out, and the lungs have choked on the liquid medicine, and the severe pain has made Zishang faint.

At this moment of life and death, the brilliant starlight shone from the depths of his soul, and Zishang's trance soul immediately condensed, and the innate aura in his body was covered with a faint layer of starlight.

At the same time, the starlight seeped into the bones, meridians, blood vessels, and skin, and finally the entire barrel of liquid was also shrouded in starlight.

It was too late, and then it was fast, the starlight only lasted for a breath, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant, but it was the second that the starlight appeared, and pulled the Zishang back from the ghost gate.

At this time, Zishang's body curled up into a ball, like a fetus, the innate breath in his body was running on its own, and various medicinal powers had become strangely mild, and they were quickly absorbed by the skin and meridians......
