Volume I
Chapter VII
Previously, the content used to explain the plot and setting may be too redundant and long, so I will simplify some of the content in the future so as not to affect the perception.
......
At this moment, Jiang Hao was unable to move because he was restrained by the little witch's spell, his teeth were clenched tightly on his jaw, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Strength...... After all, because of the inferiority in strength, he can only be reduced to someone else's plaything.
A cold light flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes, he silently remembered these brightly dressed alchemy disciples at the scene, if he could get rid of the status quo in the future, he would definitely make these people pay the price of humiliation!
However, at the moment, he can only endure the humiliation, because even if he risks his life, he may not be the opponent of these people in front of him.
The gap in cultivation in the cultivation realm is like a chasm, even if it is only the first step in cultivation, crossing several small realms against the enemy, there is almost no chance of winning, of course, there are also some people who are peerless in the sky, and they can leapfrog the challenge, but those beings look at the entire cultivation realm as if they are rare.
The Ten Levels of Spiritual Void, Qi Induction, Spirit Summoning, and Pei Yuan are the initial stages, representing the first footprints after stepping into the path of cultivation, integrating the essence and spirit in the body with the aura between heaven and earth, forming a bridge to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth.
And internal strengthening, qi refining, and condensation, that is, the middle stage of spiritual void, are the second footprints, which make the vitality in the body change from quantitative to qualitative change, and turn into pure acquired true qi, which can be sent and received freely like an arm, and can even leave the body and hurt the enemy in the air!
Finally, the late stage of spiritual void - through the body, containing the spirit, and spiritual silence, is the third footprint of the spiritual void, which increases the limit of the physical body to accommodate the spiritual energy, and continuously improves the strength of the true qi, so that the spiritual energy in the physical body is full and the internal force is endless. Then there is the pinnacle of spiritual void, building the foundation, is to consolidate the cultivation to push the realm to another peak, to lay a solid foundation for cultivation, only by taking this step can it be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the realm of cultivation, otherwise he will always be a layman.
The science of alchemy is unfathomable, and it is only a way to get started, in addition to having a keen understanding and perception of Dan Dao pharmacology, it is also necessary to have a certain amount of true qi cultivation.
To put it simply, it means that if you don't have a certain cultivation foundation, even if you have a high insight into Dan Dao pharmacology, you can't refine the pill, at least you can't do it in the first step of fire control.
True Qi is transformed by the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and no one can tell where it comes from, only that the true qi can be transformed into various forms by using magic techniques, such as flames and ice.
And refining the elixir first of all, you need to turn the true qi into flames, and your own qi veins must be long, which can support long-term consumption to keep the flame unextinguished; secondly, your spirit must also be highly concentrated, you can't slack off in the slightest, and the flame temperature must also be controlled thoughtfully; finally, the method of alchemy is particularly important, and every detail during the refining period must not be wrong, otherwise it is nonsense to want to alchemy.
The reason why I want to say this is also because these alchemy disciples in front of Jiang Hao each have not weak true qi cultivation, in other words, it is not an opponent to pick out any Jiang Hao, so Jiang Hao can only admit it. And what is his identity now? Miscellaneous disciple, a mortal miscellaneous servant who dares to disobey the cultivator, that is really not far from death.
Mr. Patience has never said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, Jiang Hao now understands what it means, and these people in front of him are really a bit hateful in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Wu is really knowledgeable and talented, let me wait to see such a magical improved version of the 'Mianyun Pill', but the little sister also has a pill here-" Seeing the different faces of the disciples, the little witch showed a sly look, and then a jade hand, a grass-green pill appeared in her palm, but there was a faint purple glow flashing on it.
"What does this seem to be?" Senior Brother Wu looked at it fixedly, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, "A hundred herb pills?"
Jiang Hao also stared at it quietly, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this pill should indeed be a hundred herb pill, and he was glad that this witch was not ruthless.
"This pill is indeed made from the pill recipe of the Hundred Herb Pills—" the little witch changed her words, "but the little sister added the scorpion silkworm and the velvet spider to it, as well as the snake gall of a red-eyed snake. ”
"Hiss-" Before the words fell, the disciples had already begun to gasp, revealing a complicated look, and Jiang Hao's heart that had just been put down hung again.
Jiang Hao has heard and even seen these three things, and all of them are famous poisons!
The Scorpio Silkworm is the larvae of the Scorpio butterfly, and the reason why it is called the Scorpio Silkworm is because it has a barb at the end and the hook gland is poisonous. If a cultivator is poisoned, it is not troublesome to disperse, but if an ordinary mortal is not rescued in a short period of time, he will definitely die!
The velvet spider and the red-eyed snake are also two terrible poisons, although they are only low-level poisonous insects, but the poison is not at all something that mortals can resist.
The Hundred Herb Pill is a life-saving pill made from dozens of precious herbs, but what the little witch added into it was three rare poisonous insects, after the medicinal power was mixed, not to mention what effect it had, these three poisons alone were enough for Jiang Hao to drink a pot!
"Spare my life, senior sister, I don't want to die yet!" Jiang Hao struggled and screamed.
"What are you panicking about, Miss Ben has her own measure, and she can't harm your life!" the little witch said coldly, and then raised her hand to send the pill to Jiang Hao's mouth.
Jiang Hao's eyes widened, and when he saw that the pill had reached his mouth, his mood sank to the bottom.
"This mortal has taken Miss Ben's things, and it is inconvenient to ask him for them at this time, this time let him suffer a little hard first and be a lesson, hum!" The little witch also sneered in her heart at this moment.
Jiang Hao cast his eyes for help to the alchemy disciples around him, but he saw that the disciples were watching coldly, and he didn't mean to stop the little witch at all.
"Hmm, why are you gathered here?" However, at this moment, an old voice came, and the movements of the little witch and the alchemy disciples suddenly stiffened, and they saw a gray-robed old man coming with his hands in his hands.
"See the Master!" "See the Master!"
The expressions of the alchemy disciples quickly returned to naturalness, and then they all bowed and saluted, shouting in their mouths.
Jiang Hao was immediately overjoyed, the person who came was the alchemy elder of this Spirit Beast Sect, and the alchemy of the outer gate was in charge, Jiang Hao only knew that his surname was Zhou, and everyone else respected him as King Zhou Dan.
"Grandpa Zhou!" The little witch seemed to have changed into a different person, and before the old man arrived, she put the "Baicao Pill" into her cuffs like lightning, and then her expression became respectful and sweet, and she took three steps and two steps to King Zhou Dan, and bowed down to make a big salute.
"Girl, you brought these disciples of grandpa here, are you going to make trouble for grandpa and me again?" King Zhou Dan smiled slightly and stroked his white beard.
"No, Grandpa Zhou!" the little witch hurriedly said, "I'm just playing with my brothers, but I didn't make a mess for you!"
You are indeed not causing trouble for him, but blocking me, Jiang Hao slandered in his heart.
"Then what are you doing to trap this mortal handyman?" King Zhou Dan nodded, glanced at Jiang Hao with his eyes, and frowned.
"I didn't do anything, just tease him!" the little witch was a little weak-hearted.
"Girl, you and tell your grandfather the truth, are you testing this mortal miscellaneous medicine again?"
Jiang Hao's heart was sudden, could it be that this little witch didn't just use him to try medicine? Thinking of this, Jiang Hao's heart was cold, this little witch looked harmless to humans and animals, but her heart was so ruthless, she was not easy to match.
"No, they haven't had time to feed him yet...... You're here......" said the little witch with some grievance, as if she were the one who suffered.
"Take out the elixir and let grandpa see it. King Zhou Dan stroked his beard, and his complexion returned to normal.
"Whew-" The little witch looked up, but saw that the old man's eyes showed a touch of undoubtedness, so she had to reluctantly stretch out her hand.
"This pill ......" King Zhou Dan is so cultivated, just by the breath of the pill can judge the efficacy of the pill, his expression became serious, "Girl, grandpa has warned you many times before, you are not allowed to detain mortal servants without permission, and test them for any reason, you should remember, right?"
"Grandpa, people are wrong, don't be angry, okay?" The little witch immediately knew that the old Dan King was really angry.
"You're only fifteen years old, but you take pleasure in poisoning mortals!" King Zhou Dan's expression was serious, and then he looked at the alchemy disciples around him, "And you, helping to abuse, not only did not stop it, but also ganged up with her to mess around, what kind of system?"
As soon as the alchemy elder Zhou Danwang said this, the scene was suddenly silent, and all the disciples were silent, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, and they all lowered their heads.
Jiang Hao was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that he has escaped today, this King Zhou Dan is still a reasonable person, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will thank him!
"Girl, grandpa told you that there is no difference between a cultivator and a mortal, and there is no distinction between noble and low, even a cultivator has the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows of birth, old age, sickness and death. After teaching a group of disciples, King Zhou Dan turned to the aggrieved girl, "That's right, mortals have no power to restrain chickens, and cultivators can make all beasts surrender with just a wave of their hands, but this is not enough for cultivators to get rid of the mortal womb of the flesh. ”
"The Three Emperors once said that all the spirits in the heavens and the earth are born equal, whether it is the dragon that roams the void or the ants that live on the ground. ”
"If you use your cultivation methods to kill a mortal today, he will fall into the hands of a cultivator who has cultivated to a superb level and let him slaughter him! At that time, what is the difference between you and this mortal at this time?!"
King Zhou Dan pointed at Jiang Hao and said in a fierce voice.
Jiang Hao was almost grateful, it was rare that there was such an old man who hung a pot and was compassionate among the cultivators.
Indeed, as the old man said, the cultivator is a world of the jungle, the day before you may still be in the mundane calling for wind and rain, and the next second you may be reduced to the Nine Shadows Eternal Tribulation, this is just a transformation of identity, measured by the yardstick of strength.
In front of powerful cultivators, weak cultivators are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, and have no right to resist.
In the world of cultivation, there are righteous paths and demons, the righteous path regards itself as justice, and restricts the righteous path with a set of rules recognized by cultivators, and those in high positions do not have general knowledge with the weak, as long as there is no offense or conflict of interest, the weak naturally have their own room for growth.
In other words, in the Righteous Path, the progress of cultivation is that the whole Righteous Path provides shelter and space for your growth, so that you have the opportunity to become a more powerful cultivator.
And the Demon Dao is diametrically opposed, the Demon Dao's pursuit of strength has reached the extreme, and in order to become stronger, they can often do whatever it takes, and there are no rules and regulations in between. If you are strong enough, you can slaughter those cultivators who have cultivated to an inferior level, and blame them for being too weak to even have the ability to protect themselves.
Therefore, in the cultivation realm that has been operating for countless years, because of the different concepts and order, the two realms of righteousness and demons have fallen into a dire situation that has lasted for thousands of years, and the two do not look at each other correctly, and they both think that their own set is the truth, so they often fight each other and do not give in to each other, and the war and conflict in the cultivation realm are burning in this contradiction that comes and goes.
The little witch's disregard for the lives of mortals is not uncommon in the cultivation world, and people in the righteous path will only turn a blind eye to it, because it is aimed at mortals and not cultivators.
If this kind of thing is raised to the level of the righteous demon, things will make a big deal, so it is often a big thing and a small matter, and in the eyes of King Zhou Dan, the little witch is only fifteen years old, but she has such a heart, it is terrible, and it is inevitable that she will go astray when she grows up in the future.
Therefore, he advised the little witch not to harm mortals in order to please herself, which is not a trait that a cultivator should have.
"Grandpa...... It's so serious...... "The little devil goddess is lonely and listless."
"Don't think that grandpa is alarmist!" Zhou Danwang said sternly, "Grandpa has warned you more than once not to regard human life as a mustard, but you don't think so. Then grandpa told you, if you are not the pearl of Master Mo's palm, do you see if these grandpa's disciples will now be surrounded by stars and moons?"
King Zhou Dan moved the real fire, and when he said this, there was silence all around, but seeing the different expressions of the disciples, no one dared to look directly into the eyes of the little witch.
"Uh......h Grandpa, I know it's wrong!" the little witch said silently as she looked around, as if she understood something.
"Alas. Seeing the little witch's reaction like this, King Zhou Dan only said that it was expected, and he was also thinking about whether what he said just now was a bit serious, but when he thought of the little witch's previous things, he shook his head.
The reaction of these people was nothing, but Jiang Hao's expression moved.
You should have heard that right, this little witch...... It's actually the daughter of the head of the Spirit Beast Sect?
Mo Huaiming, the head of the Outer Gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, this Jiang Hao knows it, and he has also seen its demeanor from afar, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
The Spirit Beast Sect is divided into the inner door and the outer door, and there are only two departments in the outer gate, the Punishment Hall and the Alchemy Hall, which are in charge of the punishment and alchemy of the Spirit Beast Sect, the alchemy elder is the master of the Alchemy Hall, that is, King Zhou Dan, is the master of the Alchemy Hall, and Mo Huaiming, the head of the outer gate, is the master of the Punishment Hall, and is in charge of the affairs of the outer gate and the punishment of the Spirit Beast Sect.
I heard that the head of this outer gate is also a peak master of the inner gate, but Jiang Hao has only heard other senior brothers mention it slightly, and he doesn't know what kind of existence it is.
This also makes sense, the little witch is not a new disciple of the alchemy elder, but the pearl of the palm of Mo Huaiming, the head of the outer gate, no wonder the clothes she wears are the highest standard among the outer gates.
And the alchemy disciples respect this woman so much, it is precisely because of her special status, as long as she can please her, she will be able to climb the high branches, so as to obtain better cultivation resources.
This also completely explains why the little witch doesn't care much about those discarded medicinal materials at all, because she is the daughter of the head of the Mo family, and she doesn't lack pills and spirit stones at all, so why do she care so much?
Youdao is a servant of a rich family and a rich man of a poor family, with different statuses, and sure enough, his vision and needs are different, Jiang Hao sighed for a while.
"It's good to know your mistakes, grandpa doesn't want your little girl's family to go astray. King Zhou Dan touched the girl's head lovingly, "Okay, your father has something to look for you, so go back." ”
"Okay Grandpa Zhou, take care of yourself, Yu'er retires. The little witch bowed slightly, then turned around and left in the middle of the path let out by the disciples, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"What are you still doing here?" When the girl was far away, King Zhou Dan's expression turned cold, "Is it impossible to drive you away for the teacher?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!, disciple retire!!"
Hearing that King Zhou Dan's face was not good, the alchemy disciples hurriedly scattered, for fear that they would brush the tiger whiskers of the master and cause trouble.
It's just that in a moment, only Jiang Hao and the gray-robed old man are left here, Jiang Hao carefully looked at King Zhou Dan's posture, and couldn't help but be a little grateful.
"If the old man is not mistaken, you should be called 'Jiang Hao'-" Suddenly, the old Dan King turned to face Jiang Hao, and with a flick of his long sleeves, Jiang Hao's restraints disappeared without a trace.
"The villain was terrified, but I didn't expect the elder to remember my name. Jiang Hao patted the dust on his body and replied respectfully.
Without further apost, Jiang Hao only felt a line of sight locked on him, that feeling was very strange, that is, you could sense the existence of this line of sight, and at the same time, there was a wisp of coercion from King Zhou Dan himself, which made him tense all over.
It's just that King Zhou Dan didn't continue to speak, and after that substantial gaze stayed on Jiang Hao for a while, it quietly disappeared, and at the same time, the coercion exerted on Jiang Hao disappeared.
"There is an elixir in this bottle, which was entrusted to you by a person. After a while, King Zhou Dan suddenly spoke, Jiang Hao looked up and saw that there was already a crystal cyan jade bottle floating in front of the old man, and through the bottle body, a dragon's eye sized pill could be seen suspended in it.
"This ......" Jiang Hao glanced at King Zhou Dan suspiciously, and when he saw the latter nodding, he had the courage to reach out and hold the jade bottle, and received it closely, and King Zhou Dan did not say a word from beginning to end.
"I don't know what kind of elixir this is?" Jiang Hao was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help but cast his inquiring eyes on the respected alchemy elder in front of him.
"The lord won't let me tell you who he is, but told me that I must leave it into your hands. King Zhou Dan took a deep breath and said.
Jiang Hao's heart moved, and two pieces of information could be read from Elder Zhou's words, that is, Elder Zhou used honorific titles when mentioning this person, which means that this person's cultivation is very high, at least stronger than Elder Alchemy, and Elder Alchemy is one of the extremely high cultivation of the Spirit Beast Sect.
In addition, Elder Zhou used the word "admonishment" to explain that this person is subordinate to him, or that the elders instructed the juniors, but the alchemy elder should be nearly 100 years old and can be called his elder......
Jiang Hao didn't know the bottom in his heart, because he couldn't find the clue he should have.
"I don't know if the elder can tell the little one, what kind of elixir is this?" Jiang Hao simply threw away his thoughts and held his breath.
"Creation and Transformation. The alchemy elder spit out a word, and Jiang Hao's eyelids jumped for no reason.
Although he couldn't say why, Jiang Hao faintly felt that it had something to do with the exercises he was cultivating, that is, the "Book of Measuring the Heavenly Robbery".
"In addition to this elixir, there is one more thing. While Jiang Hao was thinking, Elder Zhou took out another object, and Jiang Hao fixed his eyes on it, it was a jade token similar to the shape of an arrow, and there was a dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it with the word "Jiang".
"What is this?" Jiang Hao took the token from Elder Zhou's hand, and a series of question marks popped up on his head.
"When you cultivate this thing to the realm of Yunshen, you can use your divine thoughts to open the seal and view the contents inside. King Zhou Dan said slowly.
"Oh......" Jiang Hao subconsciously responded, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat after speaking.
Cultivating to the realm of Yun Shen? Jiang Hao suddenly fell into an ice cellar, he asked himself if he didn't show his feet, but he couldn't escape King Zhou Dan's eyes.
"Elder forgive ......" Jiang Hao was a little nervous, for fear that this person would be in trouble. It must be known that his patinous qualifications are not a secret in the outer sect of the Spirit Beast Sect, and a miscellaneous disciple is not qualified to practice the exercises at all, if he is discovered by the sect...... Thinking of this, Jiang Hao's face turned a little pale.
"Don't be nervous, cultivating secretly is not a big deal. King Zhou Dan patted Jiang Hao's shoulder, and his voice seemed to have magical power, which made Jiang Hao calm down suddenly.
After Jiang Hao calmed down, he thought about it, if Elder Zhou really wanted to trouble himself, he would not stand in front of him so calmly, let alone hand over this Creation and Transformation Tribulation Pill and Token to him, so he would not be so scared and nervous.
"But I have two things to tell you," Elder Zhou continued, also as he pondered, "One, I will arrange a new identity for you from tomorrow onwards. ”
"New identity?" Jiang Hao was startled and waited for the elder to follow.
"Second, the exercises you cultivate, if I expected them to be good, should be—" King Zhou Dan paused, "The Book of Measuring the Heavenly Robbery, right?"
Jiang Hao's scalp was numb in an instant!
