Volume II, Chapter 77: Dispensing Pills
There were not a few monks who went towards Yaoling Peak along the way, and when Yi Cheng rushed to the bottom of Yaoling Peak, there were already hundreds of disciples waiting there.
Seeing Yi Cheng's arrival, these disciples who witnessed Yi Cheng's miracle that day all greeted Yi Cheng one after another, Yi Cheng could feel that most of the monks were sincerely courting themselves, and some were laughing, but there were also a trace of other emotions in it, jealousy, disobedience, and greed.
Yi Cheng was a little strange about why he felt the feelings hidden under the smiling faces of these people, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't continue to think about it, but just responded politely to everyone.
Yuan Ping and Yan Bingling arrived here one step earlier, and when they saw Yi Cheng coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to talk to Yi Cheng.
March didn't see him, Yi Cheng felt that the spiritual power of the two of them was a little different, if it wasn't for the time he had been with them for a long time, Yi Cheng wouldn't have felt it, but the three of them were together in the previous March, how could he not feel it, after thinking about it a little, Yi Cheng knew the reason, these two people should have taken Qilin Zhuguo, otherwise there would be no other explanation.
Thinking about it, they also didn't find a way to refine it into an elixir or other ways to take it, so they had to take it during this time.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, your improvement has improved a lot, congratulations!" Yi Cheng said something that only they understood.
"Ha Luha, this is all thanks to Senior Brother Yi, if it weren't for your help, we don't know if Lu Dao would still be able to stand here." Yuan Ping said sincerely.
"Yes, Senior Brother Yi, you are very famous now, in the past few days, many female disciples of the Yan family have asked me about your news, and asked about your cave mansion, I was afraid that they would disturb your practice, so I didn't say, hehe, Senior Brother Yi, do you want me to introduce you to a few particularly beautiful, fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, our Yan family's female cultivators have a lot of admiration for you." Yan Bingling also seemed to be very happy, and she spoke a lot more lively, so she looked like a girl.
"Well, no, no, don't, I still want to be quiet!" Yi Cheng hurriedly said.
"Well, Senior Brother Yi, you're not right, the man should get married and the woman should get married, we are monks and not monks, and it's not that we can't get married, now you are the best Taoist partner for many female cultivators, Senior Sister Yan just said it well, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, the three of us are so familiar, of course this is a good thing to think about our own people."
Look at how Senior Sister Yan is, Senior Sister Yan is famous in Luoxia Mountain, and she is definitely the dream lover of many monks, if you become a Taoist couple, it will be an absolute match made in heaven, Ha Luha, I will not be able to run away as a matchmaker when the time comes. ”
Yuan Ping was also in a good mood, and the three of them were indeed very familiar, so he said this.
In fact, this is not a joke in Yuan Ping's heart, Yi Cheng and Yan Bingling are both leaders among their peers, and the two get along quite well, if they can match them, he is indeed very happy.
"Senior Brother Yuan, what are you talking about, I, where am I worthy of Senior Brother Yi!" Yan Bingling's face turned red when she heard this, and she said incoherently.
"Senior Brother Yuan, don't talk nonsense, I don't plan to find a Taoist partner now, and you should know very well the difference in my qualifications, even if the foundation is successful, it will be difficult to go further in the future. Where do you have the heart to think about these things? Besides, Senior Sister Yan is a celestial person, especially a monk with such qualifications as me is worthy of it! Yi Cheng was also busy.
"Hahaha, you two say that you are not worthy of each other, hey, don't say it, don't say it, it's just a joke, don't take it to heart!" Yuan Ping looked at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.
Yan Bingling's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to look at Yi Cheng when she lowered her head, but only occasionally used her afterglow to see Yi Cheng's reaction.
If Yi Cheng said in his heart that he didn't feel anything about Yan Bingling, it would naturally be a lie, everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention that Yi Cheng has never had emotional experience, Yan Bingling's appearance and personality are all the best choices, but he has always been used to being alone, and he has not thought about finding a Taoist partner for the time being, and he has too many secrets, and he is unwilling to disclose his secrets before he fully trusts a person.
For Yan Bingling to get along well with himself in the future, it has not yet reached the point where he feels that he can be fully trusted, at this time, Yuan Ping mentioned this matter Yi Cheng took a closer look at Yan Bingling, if he is really looking for a Taoist partner, this Yan Bingling is indeed a good choice.
When Yi Cheng looked at Yan Bingling, he also glanced at this side with cold eyes, and the eye contact between the two was even more awkward, and he immediately looked away. Yuan Ping was laughing dryly on the side at this time, Yi Cheng was just reluctant, after all, he was a man, but Yan Bingling felt that life was like a year.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for a monk from the Medicine Spirit Peak to shout: "The monk who came to receive the Zhuji Dan will enter the Medicine Spirit Peak, and the head and the elders will arrive later." ”
Under the leadership of the foundation building period monk, Yi Cheng and more than a thousand other monks came to a wide platform located halfway up the Yaoling Peak.
This platform has a radius of three or four hundred zhang, and more than 1,000 monks are more than enough here. Yi Cheng and Yan Bingling and Yuan Ping stood in the middle of the platform, on the south side of the platform, there were several pavilions, and the seemingly quaint pavilions wafted out from time to time with repeated fragrant winds, making people smell a burst of refreshment.
Yi Cheng and the others didn't stand for long before they saw a group of people flying from the bottom of the mountain, and twenty or thirty monks each controlled the magic weapon. After a moment of effort, they fell in front of the pavilion, and the first person was Mingxiu Zhenren, the head of Luoxia Mountain, and behind him were the heads of the Yan family, the Situ family and the Wei family, and Yun Feiyan was standing beside the head of the house.
"Disciples of Luoxia Mountain, there were 5,132 of you outside the mountain gate before June, and only 2,376 people came back with me before 3 months, and there are only more than 1,000 of you standing here today.
But I know that among the many disciples of Luoxia Mountain, you are all lucky, you have come back alive from the secret land, and you have been given the opportunity to build a foundation. I say this to you just to make you understand one thing, that is, this opportunity is not easy to get, it is your own hard work, and it is also the life of thousands of other fellow disciples.
Building the foundation is only the first hurdle on the road to cultivating the truth, and there is hope to go further in the past, so I hope that you will not give up whether the foundation is successful this time or not, this opportunity not only belongs to you, but also belongs to the entire Luoxia Mountain, and you are the hope of the future of Luoxia Mountain. Embarking on the road of cultivating truth is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you must not slack off in the slightest, otherwise you will fall into a catastrophe from which you will never recover! ”
Mingxiu Zhenren did not have any pretentiousness, every sentence was from the bottom of his heart, and the disciples under the door also strengthened their hearts to cultivate the truth after listening to it, and they would never give up if they did not succeed in building a foundation, otherwise they would end up being a piece of loess after a few decades.
When the disciples below heard this, their faces showed a trace of regret, Yi Cheng also had a faint sadness in his heart, for today's harvest, how many monks have paid their lives, this is just the first step, there are countless difficulties and obstacles on the road of cultivation, Yi Cheng silently kept these words in his heart, but he did not waver in the slightest belief in cultivation.
Knowing the difficulties and advancing with your own qualifications to be able to stand here today shows that qualifications do not determine everything, and the road to cultivation does not depend entirely on qualifications, but also on temperament, opportunities, luck, and origin, all of which may change a person's fate.
After Mingxiu Zhenren in front of him said this, he didn't say anything more, and said to Dan Qingzi, the peak master of Yaoling Peak beside him: "Let's start!" ”
Na Dan Qingzi is the peak master of the Medicine Spirit Peak, and he is also the only grandmaster-level alchemist in this sect, and his attainments are far above those of other alchemists.
Take this refining Zhuji Dan as an example, an ordinary alchemist can have three or four furnaces out of ten furnaces to succeed, which is already good, but an alchemy master like Dan Qingzi can reach more than fifty percent, don't underestimate the improvement of this one, the higher you go, the more difficult it is to improve, most of the Zhuji Dan medicinal materials are not easy to find, with this grandmaster-level alchemist presiding, Luoxia Mountain's Zhuji Dan will be improved by one percent.
For a sect, although the disciples in the foundation building period are not high-level, they are definitely the backbone of the force, and the reason why those sects that have lasted for tens of thousands of years can continue the incense is not that they have high-level monks at all times, but that they maintain stability at the level of foundation building and knotting, which is also the foundation of the sect's long-term prosperity.
Therefore, the extra one percent of the Tsukidan is definitely a great benefit to Luoxia Mountain.
There are only ten kinds of medicinal materials that cannot be cultivated from the disciples in the sect each time, and the prescription of Zhuji Dan requires a total of more than 20 kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and the other dozen or so are all planted by the sect all year round, although these medicinal herbs are not very cherished, but the demand for them is not small each time, so the investment of the sect is also very large.
Every time the pill is practiced, in addition to the disciples who hand in the medicinal materials, the sect can also have two or three percent of the income, and these additional Zhuji Dan are only enough to make up for the consumption of auxiliary medicinal materials, so for the disciples of the sect, there is no profit for the sect in this matter, but for the long-term development of the sect, such an investment is completely necessary.
Those casual cultivators generally recruit sects to practice Zhuji Dan on their behalf, and in addition to handing over the same share of medicinal materials, they also have to add a lot of spirit stones as alchemy fees.
At this time, there are only the disciples of the Luoxia Mountain Sect here, and those scattered cultivators will have to wait for a while to get the Tsukidan. And after the head of the sect just finished saying to Dan Qingzi, twenty foundation building period monks walked out of the pavilion, they walked in front of everyone, each took out a square table from the storage bag and placed it on the ground, and then waved dozens of jade bottles appeared on the table, this jade bottle is made of cold jade, which can ensure that the spiritual power of the pill will not be lost.
Seeing the appearance of the jade bottle, the Qi refining period cultivators present couldn't help but breathe a little shorter, and their eyes kept staring at the jade bottle, as if they were afraid of flying.
After those foundation building period monks took out the jade bottles, Dan Qingzi spoke: "Now divide into twenty groups to the front to collect them, and after receiving the foundation building pill, go back to the same place and wait for a while, and the head of the meeting and the elders will have something to announce." ”
As soon as Dan Qingzi's words fell, these Qi Refining Stage cultivators quickly stood in twenty teams, each team of about fifty people, and then stepped forward in turn to receive the Tsukidan. The monks who distributed the pills each held a purple jade plaque, and after deducting the contribution of the person who received the pill, they gave it the Tsukidan who responded.
More than 90 percent of the thousands of monks can only exchange one Tsukidan, and occasionally one or two monks can exchange two at a time to attract the eyes of the people next to them.
Yi Cheng and Yan Bingling Yuan Ping stood in the middle of a team together, and after a quarter of an hour of waiting, it was finally Yuan Ping's turn to stand in front, only to see him step forward and hand over his identity jade plate to the senior brother in the foundation building period, and said: "Trouble senior brother!" ”
The monk smiled and didn't speak, every monk came up with a polite word, wouldn't it be a lot of delay if they all responded, and at this time, the monks didn't have the heart to pay attention to these when they got the Tsukidan, after taking the jade card, the monk used his divine sense to check it and make sure that there was exchange information about Tsukidan.
I just wanted Yuan Ping to pass on the contribution, but I was stunned by the string of numbers, only to see that the message showed that the exchange for Zhuji Dan: the handing over of medicinal materials is equivalent to 76 copies, and the exchange contribution is 228,000 points! The monk was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What is the name of this junior brother, I don't know how many Tsukidan you want to exchange?" ”
Yuan Ping heard this: "Senior brother can call me Yuan Ping, let's change three grains!" ”
"The junior brother is really outstanding, and he can have such a harvest, but it takes a while to exchange more than three Tsukidan, and the other monks here will distribute it uniformly after they are distributed."
"Oh, then I'll just wait here for a moment!" After speaking, Yuan Ping walked to the side.
Yan Bingling was standing behind Yuan Ping, and she also heard the monk's words clearly, so she also walked to the side.
The senior brother in the foundation building period was a little stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Do you want to pay back more than three grains?" ”
"Yes, senior brother." Yan Bingling replied immediately.
The foundation building monk was speechless for a while, what kind of person is this, he worked hard to get a foundation building pill back then, and these two people had to exchange more than three grains.
Although he was a little shocked, he didn't care very much, after all, there were always some outstanding monks who could perform well.
Then he said to Yi Cheng, who was standing behind: "Hey, come up, those two have to be replaced by more than three grains, how many are you going to change?" ”
The monk seemed to have been hit hard by the two of them, and took advantage of Yi Cheng's arrival to make a joke to make himself easier.
Yi Cheng smiled and said, "Senior brother, I also plan to change a few more, I'll stay there now, and I'll talk about it later!" ”
The monk of the foundation building period opened his mouth slightly, and did not speak further, at this time, the monk behind Yi Cheng came to him and said timidly: "Senior brother, I will change one grain." ”
I think it was the performance of Yi Cheng in front of him that made him embarrassed to say that he only exchanged for one.
"Oh, here you go, hand in the contribution."
"Good senior brother." The monk hurriedly handed in the contribution.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he spoke again: "Senior brother, you should have been busy with alchemy recently, and you haven't seen the mirror image of this trial, the senior brother who was in front of me just now is called Yi Cheng, and this time he has handed over hundreds of contributions." The two people in front of him were also his companions. Then he left.
When the foundation building monk heard this, he exclaimed in his heart: "Who are these people, it's too demonic!" He also looked at Yi Cheng and the others.
When the next monk walked up to him, he turned around and assigned Tsukidan.
After another quarter of an hour, when all the teams were finished, there were only ten people in the field who did not receive Tsukidan.
There are three on his side, the four descendants who served as the team leader, as well as Senior Brother Liu who obtained the Blood Soul Bee Royal Jelly and two other middle-aged monks.
"Senior Brother Yi, how many are you going to change?" Yuan Ping couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hey, I'm also worried, who knows that I need a few Zhuji Dan to break through successfully, I don't know if I can change the Dao after I get less, if I get too much, I'm afraid the sect won't agree!" Yi Cheng said with some distress.
After all, not all the gains in every trial can be used to refine Zhuji Dan, so the quantity is always limited, for example, this time Yi Cheng and Yan Nanfei Although the harvest is unprecedented, although the third-order demon pill and the extremely cold ice crystal are rare, they cannot be used to refine Zhuji Dan. Therefore, the sect will not have dozens of Tsukidan to exchange for them.
"What about you, how many are you going to change?" Yi Cheng also asked.
"I'm going to change it for five grains, after all, this Tsukidan is not something you can get easily, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to use this in my hand." Yuan Pingdao.
"I also plan to change five pills, and keep more than 100,000 contributions for future use." Yan Bingling also replied.
They wanted to continue talking, but they heard Dan Qingzi's voice sound.
