Caiyun, who was riding on the back of a black bear, took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng saw that it was a one-foot-long invitation, and then listened to Caiyun say unhurriedly: "Nine days later, it will be the sixty-sixth birthday of the head of our Jinshan faction, Canghai Zhenren. Yesterday, someone in the division saw your video on the advertisement, checked it, and found that it was likely to be the same way, the mountain gate of our Jinshan faction is on the side of the Sierra Nevada, anyway, the neighbors are close, and the master asked me to send an invitation to invite you to participate in the birthday of the master. ”

As he spoke, Caiyun changed his words: "You know, this kind of birthday celebration is actually a scene, and it is generally enough to stuff a red envelope, and if you give valuables, the return gift of the sect is also very generous." The main thing is to find an excuse for colleagues to get together and exchange ideas. The birthday of the head of the Dongshan faction in Southern California happened to be in winter, so the two exchange meetings in the winter and summer of the year in California were presided over by our Jinshan faction and the Dongshan faction respectively. ”

Zhang Cheng took the invitation and looked at the address, it was really a neighbor, the station of Jinshan Pai Shanmen was dozens of miles away from Sacramento, the capital of California, and the straight-line distance from Zhang Cheng's ranch was only one hundred miles, and the station of Jinshan Pai Shanmen was a large farm in Northern California with its own airfield - it would take thirty minutes to arrive at the speed of a propeller plane, and this time also included aircraft take-off and landing.

In order to spray pesticides on crops and sow grass seeds on the pasture, Zhang Cheng's ranch here also has its own small airfield, an old-fashioned piston propeller plane and a large number of farm machinery, otherwise it would not be possible to cultivate and harvest a thousand acres of land with only two people.

One acre is equivalent to six acres, and 6,000 acres of land is equivalent to the cultivated land of a village in most parts of the country. A thousand acres of land is not the maximum use of the manpower and material resources of two people, but there is only so much flat land in the pasture that can be cultivated with good irrigation conditions. It's really not a boast that a few people in the United States plant a county's land.

Even if you don't fly, it's an hour's drive between Reno and Sacramento, and there may be a detour from the ranch here to the farm there, but it won't take more than three hours.

I only heard Na Caiyun say again: "Now the transportation is convenient, and there are hundreds of people who come to Jinshan every summer to celebrate the birthday of the head of the family. In recent years, we have also opened a shop in Jinshan Pie, which is specially used to exchange items for people wishing birthdays, and can even be sold or exchanged for a long time, which is very popular. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood. If a cultivator learns from that ordinary man, he will engage in on-site bidding. It's inferior, and it's not sure that someone will learn from the auction company to make a trust or something to bid below.

This seems to be a very primitive barter, but it is more suitable for transactions between monks. Because there are many things that monks use that cannot be measured by money, they can't afford to practice without money and resources. But if you use dollars or even gold as currency, then people will not take out really good things and sell them - although not absolutely. But most of the monks are not bad for money.

I received the invitation. Zhang Cheng said: "When the time comes, I will definitely go to Northern California to ask for a glass of water and wine." It's almost time to rest, and I'll refine Caiyun Girl's Zhuyan Dan. ”

Zhang Cheng said, and the person had flashed into the medicine garden. After ripening a few flavors of medicinal materials in the medicine field, Zhang Cheng returned to the big stone with the medicinal materials and the Dan furnace that he didn't know when, Zhang Cheng dragged the bottom of the furnace with one hand and directly heated the Dan furnace with anger, and then put the flavored medicinal materials into the Dan furnace.

Ten minutes after all the medicinal materials were put into the Dan furnace, Zhang Cheng slapped the palm of the Dan furnace, and a stream of earthy yellow fishy liquid left the Dan furnace and splashed on the ground in the distance. At this time, Zhang Cheng's other hand slapped on the Dan furnace again, and the viscous red medicinal liquid inside turned into red pills the size of index finger belly, dripping and spinning in the Dan furnace.

As soon as he heard the voice, Zhang Cheng was satisfied, took out an agate stone, and shook it into a one-foot-high red curved neck bottle. This Zhuyan Pill can stay for a year, and it is useless to take it more than once, just one pill a year. ”

Caiyun is not good at alchemy, but he has also seen his uncle open the furnace for alchemy, how can it be so easy - and it was done at one time, which is obviously very confident in his own skills. If it is a senior master of another faction, it is just that, she has checked Zhang Cheng's actual age, and he is one year younger than her. Whether it is using true gas to heat the Dan furnace or throwing out the bottle with agate stone in the end, it is very handsome, it should be in the way of wood, wood fire, wood earth, and it is used in his hands without any jerkiness. Just these two times, the Jinshan faction or the Dongshan faction is also a character, not to mention the foundation of ripening drugs and alchemy.

Soon Caiyun put away his other thoughts, took the curved neck bottle and praised: "Your Excellency is a good means." ”

This is really not nonsense, Caiyun saw the alchemy of his uncles and uncles in the Jinshan Sect, and the success rate of Zhuyan Dan was only half and half, and when a furnace of Dan never broke a hundred, it was a common phenomenon for a furnace to become a dozen or twenty of a Dan, and it was an accident for a furnace to become a Dan for thirty or fifty. Even if there is an unexpected high Cheng Dan rate, one furnace of Dan is not enough for the female disciples of the Jinshan Sect.

Zhang Cheng: "Where, a little bit of the teacher's origin." ”

"That's it, then I'll wait for Qinglian Daoist at the mountain gate." Caiyun took the agate medicine bottle and saluted with a fist, and rode away on the black bear, her car still parked outside the ranch - it is better to travel at night with the black bear, although the United States does not prohibit people from keeping bears at home.

The Zhuyan Pill that Zhang Cheng refined for Caiyun was more like an errand fee paid to Caiyun, because the question he asked was actually on his birthday, and it was easy to inquire about it, maybe it would be more detailed. However, it is also very troublesome to see that people are costumes and bear rides, and it seems reasonable to pay some errands, how can people run for nothing.

Seeing that Caiyun really left, Zhang Cheng, who started to meditate and rest again, thought about getting something to exchange, the best jade is the material for making his own magic weapons, and it can't be exchanged out, and it's almost the same to change some back. Pills, the key problem is that I don't know what others lack, each family and faction have unique secrets in alchemy and pills, and the main medicines that Zhang Cheng can refine are those passed down by the master.

Zhang Cheng can't refine the elixir that can make a monk's strength increase for decades by eating at least one - and in the novels that Zhang Cheng has read, drugs like this are eaten as jelly beans by everyone.

Listening to the meaning of Caiyun, it seems that Zhuyan Dan is very popular, of course, as long as it is a woman and even most men, they will not refuse to come to Zhuyan Dan every year, but if there is only one Zhuyan Dan, is it a little monotonous?

Zhang Cheng, who had finished meditating, looked at the medicine garden and the purple gold bamboo forest, and remembered a composite magic weapon, the power was acceptable, and it was a consumable magic weapon, and it would be useless if it was used a hundred and ten times. There should be a market for something like this, maybe it might be......

Fortunately, it is easy to make zuò, even if there is no market, it is a good choice to give it away. Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng first went to the medicine field to ripen a gourd vine, and after the seven giant gourds that were ripened and much larger than the cow's head matured, Zhang Cheng took off the gourd and cut the mouth of the gourd, took out the seeds inside and replanted them in the place bordering the bamboo forest outside the medicine field. After ripening dozens of purple gold bamboos and uprooting them, Zhang Cheng began to make zuò magic weapons.

First, the giant gourd, with a slight turn in Zhang Cheng's hand, the giant gourd was already engraved with various talisman patterns inside and out. Then, pieces of purple gold bamboo were engraved with bird-shaped talisman patterns, and then successively fed into the mouth of the open gourd. The last seven giant gourds were filled with more than 100 pieces of purple gold bamboo.

Then the giant gourd turned in Zhang Cheng's hand, and the figure of the giant gourd that was visible to the naked eye shrank by one point every time he turned, and finally the half-human-high giant gourd became only the size of a palm, so that it looked like the purple pattern on the gourd became very delicate and beautiful.

After the seven gourds were ready, Zhang Cheng picked up one of the gourds, opened the gourd mouth, aimed the gourd mouth at an untreated bush in the distance, and gently patted the bottom of the gourd from behind and infused a trace of true qi. A thumb-sized firebird flew out from the gourd's mouth, and after leaving the gourd's mouth for about a meter, it turned into a fist-sized firebird in the air and flew straight towards the bushes a hundred meters away, and exploded and burned in the bushes.

"Okay." Zhang Cheng commented in his heart that wood makes fire, and the characteristic of this fire crow gourd is that ordinary people can't use it at all, and it doesn't work no matter how you shoot it, but as long as you input true qi or aura into the fire crow gourd, it can be used to release this fire crow. If you are not satisfied with the power of the fire crow gourd, you can shoot a few people or even a dozen people together after the formation.

It's completely possible to punch and kill the master. Although both AK and Fire Raven Gourd can be used to kill people, those who kill people with AK are terrorists, and those who kill people with Fire Raven Gourd are virtuous people.

However, this year, the fire crow gourd is a little outdated, should it follow the trend of the times and call it a burning firebird, anyway, there is no difference between the fire crow and the firebird. (To be continued......)
