It took five days and five nights, Cheng Tianle and the autumn leaves finally walked to the foot of the snow-capped mountain, in front of which is the endless sea of stars, the starry lakes show its beauty and coldness in the sun, behind the towering snow-capped mountains, looking up to see the white clouds drifting under the blue sky.

Nian Qiu Ye couldn't help but stretch his arms and said: "Oh my God, this sea of stars is so beautiful, it is so beautiful, it is simply thrilling!" Why didn't I notice when I came? ”

Cheng Tianle said with a smile: "At that time, when you first went to the plateau, the first time you arrived in this bitter cold place, you didn't know where the destination was, what dangers you encountered, and your heart was full of sadness, how could you have this state of mind?" Now that I have returned to the Sea of Stars after some hardship, although it is still a bitter cold place, it is already a pleasure compared to the trek in the snowy mountains, and you will feel that it is so beautiful, and it is indeed beautiful. ”

The two of them talked and laughed while hiking through the sea of stars, on this plateau with thin air and harsh climate, but it felt more nourishing than visiting a park. Cheng Tianle was still collecting Zhimu root along the way, and Nian Qiuye learned that he was collecting the elixir for refining the elixir, and he also helped to find it along the way, and it was much faster for two people to collect medicine than for one person, and it was not so boring.

On the way, Nian Qiuye asked Cheng Tianle, what bait and medicine are needed to refine the Divine Pill, and how much is missing? Cheng Tianle calculated, among the eighteen flavors of elixir, there are currently or can be sure of a total of seven flavors: cold needle cui, jade dragon smoke, purple spirit ointment, monkey fruit, red flame fruit, color dragon scales, and zhimu root. What was thought to be an almost impossible task is still difficult, but there is a glimmer of hope for success.

He told the names of the eighteen flavored elixirs to the autumn leaves of the year, and he had never heard of the autumn leaves of the four flavors. But she was very pleasantly surprised to tell Cheng Tianle, the Hingye Lotus in the Danfang is available in the Xiaoyao faction, and if the number is not enough, she can also find a way to find a colleague to get some. After returning to the mountain, this elixir will be wrapped in her, and Cheng Tianle doesn't have to pay for it or exchange it for other things, which is Nian Qiuye's due gratitude.

Cheng Tianle was not hypocritical, and immediately nodded in thanks. In this way, a miracle medicine was implemented. In the autumn of the year, the leaves told sù Cheng Tianle, the eighteen flavors of the elixir of the cangxian sunflower and ginseng flower dew, I heard that there is a collection in the Xuanyuan faction. It's just that this thing is more precious, and if you need a large batch, you may not be able to ask for it directly, if you don't have a chance. Even if you pay a lot of money to buy it. The Xuanyuan faction will not be sold.

But Cheng Tianle's relationship with the Xuanyuan faction is not ordinary, don't forget that his new disciple, the little monkey, is very familiar with the Xuanyuan faction. If that demon monkey cultivates into a monkey demon, and then brings other things to the door to worship the mountain, it means that he will open his mouth to ask for it. In exchange for cultivation utensils or heavy purchases, the Xuanyuan faction will not fail to give this face.

With just such a conversation, refining the eighteen flavors of Lu Wu Shenlun Dan's elixir has implemented three flavors! Although Cheng Tianle hasn't gotten his hands on it yet, he at least knows where to look for it. For now, he needs to cultivate well and guide the demon cultivators around him. At the same time, it is also necessary to lay a good foundation for the sect, at least have a minimum net worth, otherwise if you want to exchange things or buy them with money, you have to get them!

When Cheng Tianle went back, he brought more things than when he came, not only filled five boxes of colorful dragon scales, but also collected a lot of Zhimu roots. The color dragon scales are very heavy, and only five boxes weigh 100 catties, all of which are packed in Cheng Tianle's backpack. If you were to travel on the plains with this amount of stuff on your back, it would be nothing to Cheng Tianle. But it is not easy to memorize it on the snow-capped mountains of the plateau.

The way down the mountain took two days and two nights longer than the road up the mountain, and it was not deliberately taken care of the autumn leaves that were cultivated lower and slower, and Cheng Tianle himself really couldn't walk fast. At the moment, he couldn't fit anything, so he took out the coat in his backpack and put it on a furoshi. Wrapping some other things in it, Nian Qiuye took the initiative to help carry this burden, and Cheng Tianle let her take it.

Cheng Tianle is not greedy, but he never wastes it. In addition to collecting the root of the mother when I crossed the sea of stars again, I also collected the colored dragon scales when I saw them. This item is not only used to refine Lu Wu Shen Lundan. You can also use the method of combining instruments to create a magic weapon in the cave, the color dragon scale wall can be large or small, the color dragon scale will not be too much anyway, and you will not be tired with more.

Nian Qiuye had never heard of such a thing as colored dragon scales before, and I heard that this thing was also a kind of heavenly material and earth treasure that could refine the magic weapon of the Cave Heaven, of course he was very interested, and he also took some to bring back to the Xiaoyao School for research, and he was more enthusiastic than Cheng Tianle when he collected them along the way. It is of course too unlikely that they will be caught by them when they leap out of the water on their own initiative, and the main thing is to search for the remains of lakes and rivers that dried up many years ago.

When they went back, they enjoyed the scenery along the way, and the harvest was more than when they came, and they picked about half a box of colorful dragon scales in total, and they took half of them. On the way, of course, the two also talked about their own experiences and various anecdotes, and Nian Qiuye was very impressed by the well-preserved remains of various fish in the dry lake, which would never have happened if it were in a densely populated plain.

Then they talked about the local Tibetans who don't seem to eat fish, is it out of worship of the highland god lake, or is it a religious belief? Nian Qiuye discussed with Cheng Tianle in a consultative tone, and Cheng Tianle thought about it and replied: "In this harsh living environment, people have a deeper awe of nature, and they also need a spiritual pillar to find the meaning of existence in the face of hardships." And so a religion came into being, which seemed to us special, to satisfy that need and to harness and drive the people here ......"

Nian Qiuye quietly listened to Cheng Tianle's long discussion on the plateau, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, we are just talking about the question of whether to eat fish or not, why did you even talk about religion, pyramid schemes, and demon cultivation in the world?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "Because I have been thinking about the establishment of the Ten Thousand Variation Sect, when I came to this plateau, of course, what I saw and heard was also confirmed by my thinking. …… As for whether to eat fish or not, it is actually very simple, it depends on whether you are hungry or not, and whether you are hungry or not. In the early days when there was no religion, it may have been customary to form that it was not easy to fish on this plateau, and the fish were not so tasty. ”

Autumn leaves: "Fish is not delicious? ”

Cheng Tianle: "You are Chinese, grew up in the Han land, some things have been used to it, five thousand years of China, this kind of inheritance and accumulation is unimaginable, almost in every detail inadvertently." Let's take the way of cooking, how many ingredients did our ancestors discover and how many ways did they invent to cook them?

Fish is of course delicious when done well, and it can be processed into a variety of dishes that you can count on your fingers. But if the fish is not processed well, it is difficult to eat, fishy and greasy. People eat fish in many parts of the world, but never as delicately as we do. I like to eat fish heads, but when I was studying in Germany, those Germans only ate whole pieces of fish, and they didn't eat fish heads at all. ”

Nian Qiuye: "They won't make and won't eat?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "It's not just that you can't make it, you can't eat, you can't even vomit a fine thorn!" They have very few cooking methods, not to mention these, think about it, how do you eat fish head with a knife and fork? ”

Nian Qiuye covered his mouth and smiled: "Yes, it seems that chopsticks are really a great thing." In fact, as long as you can sense the subtleties and perceive the subtle movements of the body, you will know how dexterous this thing is. According to the tradition of the pre-Qin Dynasty, knives and forks were used in the kitchen, and the food was served only after the preparation was completed.

I have heard the story of Mengzi's mother, when she was pregnant with Mencius, 'the seat is not upright, the seat is not right, the cut is not right, and the prenatal education is also', which is said to be the earliest prenatal education in human history. It is mentioned here that things must be made and cut in the kitchen before they can be served to the table, which is a good food processing and meal hygiene habit. ”

Cheng Tianle nodded and said, "Yes, the attention on the table is actually in the kitchen." In my experience living in Europe, they seem to be clean when they eat at the table, but the waste of ingredients in the kitchen is staggering. Hehehe, it's far away again, you just mentioned the story of Meng's maternal prenatal education, and you also understand the principle of cultivation. Isn't it the habit of monks to sit on a table that is not upright, not to eat if it is not cut properly? ”

Nian Qiuye: "Later, there was the story of Meng's mother's three migrations, and now I feel a lot of emotion, some situations are innate, but some things are chosen by yourself." …… I just mentioned that Meng's mother's deeds are in line with the principle of cultivation, but I remembered that in the Dan Dao, after passing through the vacuum tribulation and before ushering in the bone change tribulation, there was the cultivation of 'long-nourishing the holy womb', and the self in the vacuum was conceived, and the cultivation was sufficient to be reborn, and its mantra and mental method were also similar. ”

Cheng Tianle: "I am still ignorant of the cultivation after Dacheng, I need to explore step by step, Senior Sister Autumn Leaves is a disciple of the Great Sect Inheritance, and her knowledge of this aspect must be wider than mine, so I am going to ask for advice." ”

Talking and laughing along the way, both of them were very rewarding. With Cheng Tianle, there is an indescribable happiness in the autumn leaves, the sea of stars is so beautiful, and everything is so mysterious and so desirable. Cheng Tianle is really a person as his name suggests, he is so relaxed and happy to get along with, why didn't he feel it before?

There is only one thing that makes Nian Qiuye a little depressed. Autumn leaves on the snow mountain to say sù Cheng Tianle, don't call her Autumn Leaf Fairy anymore, you can call Autumn Leaf or Autumn Leaf Senior Sister. As she wished, Cheng Tianle later called her Sister Akiba, and she felt a lot closer. But Nian Qiuye still called Cheng Tianle Cheng Zong, but Cheng Tianle didn't say anything else, and didn't tell her that she could be called Tianle or Tianle Senior Brother or something like that.

But in any case, in the past few years, Nian Qiuye has never been so happy and comfortable, walking through the planetary sea for three days and three nights, and she even thinks that this road can be longer and longer. When they walked out of the sea of stars and Cheng Tianle stood on a grassy slope and stared into the distance, Nian Qiuye finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Cheng, you are already in the year of establishment, have you ever been a Taoist couple?" If you want to establish the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect to guide the demon cultivators in the world, do you also want to find a demon cultivator? ”
