Chapter 70: Back from the Dead
Under the temptation of Cheng Biting the Golden Pill formula, this sloppy Taoist finally agreed to open the furnace for him to alchemy. So, after waiting for this sloppy Taoist priest in Mount Tai for two days, let him get enough medicinal materials, Cheng Yanjin took this sloppy Taoist to the small valley not far from home.
Watching the sloppy Taoist priest raise the fire and put those precious high-grade elixirs into it, Cheng Yanjin finally put his mind at ease. The Taoist priest said well, he was really afraid that this Taoist priest would turn his face and not recognize people after taking the pills, after all, those pills were too valuable, and secondly, the Taoist martial arts cultivation was too much higher than him, in this era of strength and respect, this Taoist priest was pitting him, and he only had a dumb person to eat Coptis chinensis, so he recognized it.
And luring this Taoist priest to refine the pill with another pill prescription, in addition to ensuring that the Taoist priest keeps his promise, there is also an advantage, that is, the color and efficacy of the refined pill. In the final analysis, Cheng Yanjin is purely a layman for alchemy, and professional things are naturally done by professional people in order to do the best.
Since this old Taoist priest said that he was an alchemist, and he was able to take out so many high-grade elixirs, he couldn't find out where he could do the alchemy, and the refined pills were naturally much better than those refined by Cheng Yanjin, and with such an easy-to-use labor force, why did Cheng Yanjin do it himself.
Looking at the sloppy Taoist priest's serious appearance when he was alchemizing, Cheng Yanjin was a little absent-minded, it was really a pity for his gold, why was he so stupid when he released the information? I paid for a month at once!
Well, now it's all gone! That day, when he was waiting for this sloppy Taoist priest to take the medicinal herbs, he had gone to the restaurant that had released the news, hoping to get the remaining gold back from that Wu Tian's hand. After all, those medicinal materials have been found by themselves, so there is no need to waste gold to release that news.
I didn't expect to have a closed door at Wu Tian's place, the old guy said that the water spilled out of the gold handed over could not be recovered, at most he would give some discounts when Cheng Biting Jin released information in the future. This can make Cheng Biting Jin angry.
But there is no way, the 'stability and unity' alliance is not a small family, it is not the object of his revenge casually, and who made himself so stupid at the beginning, in order to show off, he handed it over for a month, but he lost his face but lost his heart. Thinking of that Wu Tian, Cheng Biting Jin scolded fiercely in his heart, "Scrooge!" ”
The sloppy Taoist priest really deserves to be an old guy who is about to enter the earth, but it is not ordinary, it took half a month of hard work, and the furnace of the Nine Turns Back Soul Pill was baked. Looking at the five pills in his hand, Cheng Yanjin was excited, he didn't expect this old guy to make an extraordinary move, and a furnace of pills was actually refined into eight finished pills.
According to the original agreement, Cheng Yanjin gave the Heavenly King Heart Replenishing Pill to this Taoist priest, and generously gave him three of the Nine Turning Soul Pills that had been refined. The sloppy Taoist priest looked at the pill of the Heavenly King Replenishing Heart Pill, and immediately frowned, and said to Cheng Biting Jin, "Boy, no wonder you want to give the old man three pills, the medicinal materials on this pill, only the gold worm is not easy to find, it can be said that you gave this pill to the old man, and the old man can't use it." Originally, the old man wanted to light the sky lantern for your slippery boy, for the sake of your interest, and spare you first. Now tell the old man, what is the name of this refined elixir and what is its effect? ”
Cheng Yanjin said respectfully to the Taoist priest, "The seniors and the juniors will know the effect of this elixir, as for the name, let the juniors sell it first!" ”
"Okay, Lao Dao will go with you, and you don't dare to play any tricks!"
"The seniors laughed! This way, please! ”
Looking at Hou Junji, who was lying on the bed like a deep sleep, the sloppy Taoist priest's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked quickly to the side of the bed, and checked it skillfully. For a long time, the sloppy Taoist priest straightened up with some excitement, looked at Cheng Biting Jin and said slowly, "This person is seriously injured, and the time is not short, it stands to reason that such a serious injury should have returned to the underworld, but looking at this person's connections, it is still stable, Lao Dao heard that some time ago, the rebellious Yan Wang Geqian once found a gold worm, but it was robbed by some mysterious people, and then I heard that someone inquired about this gold worm in the market of Mount Tai, I don't know what these things have to do with you?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin smiled bitterly, Jiang is really old and spicy! "Back to the seniors, the juniors did get a golden worm and prepared the Heavenly King Replenishing Heart Pill, but this golden worm was not taken from the hands of that Yan King Geqian!"
"Hmph, Lao Dao doesn't care who you take it from, you can get it from that is your ability, and Lao Dao doesn't have the leisure to meddle with other people's affairs. It's just that Lao Dao guessed that you asked Lao Dao to refine that elixir to treat the person in front of you? ”
"The seniors are really like torches!" Helping Hou Junji up, in front of the sloppy Taoist priest, he put the Nine Turning Back Soul Pill into his mouth, Cheng Biting Jin said respectfully, "This pill is called Nine Turning Back Soul Pill, and its effect is to bring the dead back to life!" Heal the dead, flesh and bones! As for how effective it is, the seniors can observe it for themselves! ”
Soon, hearing Hou Junji's subtle breathing, the sloppy Taoist put his finger on Hou Junji's wrist in surprise and checked his pulse. After a long time, the sloppy Taoist withdrew his finger unsatisfied.
Turning his head to look at Cheng Yanjin, the sloppy Taoist priest said, "Old Dao thought that he was already well-informed, but he didn't expect to see this miracle here, such a miracle." This person's breathing has been stable, and the trauma in his body is also recovering, and it is estimated that this person will be able to wake up at noon tomorrow, and at most half a month, he will be able to walk on the ground. Sure enough, it is worthy of the Nine Turns Back Soul Pill, it is indeed worthy of the name! ”
Saying this, the sloppy Taoist priest saluted Cheng Biting Jin, "Old Dao, goodbye, goodbye in the future!" Saying that, he didn't wait for Cheng to bite the gold and stay, and went out. Watching him walk away, Cheng Yanjin's right hand behind him gently stretched out and put away the thunder shock in his hand.
As early as when the pill was about to be refined, Cheng Yanjin carried Lei Zhenzi with him, just in case, after all, who was not tempted by such a magical elixir of the Nine Turning Soul Pill, although he had already given him three, but people's hearts have always been the most elusive, if this sloppy Taoist priest still wanted to take the remaining Nine Transformation Soul Pills as already available, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to fight with him.
Thankfully, the worst-case scenario didn't happen. Looking back at Hou Junji, whose breathing had been stable, Cheng Yanjin happily came to the door, and said to the old man who was standing in the courtyard nervously, "Take good care of this person, it is estimated that this person will wake up tomorrow, and I hope you will have to worry a lot when the time comes!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over two more gold bars.
Seeing that the old man happily agreed, Cheng Yanjin returned home with peace of mind. When Cheng Yanjin came back at noon the next day, he saw that Hou Junji had already woken up, his upper body leaning on the edge of the bed, and a servant woman was carefully feeding with a bowl of gruel.
After Hou Junji finished eating, Cheng Yanjin walked in. Seeing him, Hou Junji suddenly became excited, and was about to get up, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly walked up to him in three steps and two steps, and stopped him, "Brother Hou, your injury is not healed yet, you have just woken up, it's better not to move!" ”
When Hou Junji heard this, he didn't move anymore, raised his hands and arched at Cheng Biting Jin, and said gratefully, "The younger brother has been grateful to Brother Cheng for saving his life twice, even if he is broken bones, there is no way to reciprocate, in the future, Brother Cheng will be sent, and the younger brother will never say anything, come in the water, go in the fire, otherwise how can you be worthy of Brother Cheng's life-saving grace?" ”
"Haha, Brother Hou laughed, since I saw you, Brother Hou, I didn't treat you as an outsider, when I saw you in trouble, how could I not save you from death? Where do you need Brother Hou, you are so grateful! Brother Hou, you relax your mind and recuperate with peace of mind, as long as half a month and twenty days pass, your injury will be healed, and when the time comes, you will drink and talk to Brother Hou! ”
"A word is a certainty, the little brother will definitely go back with Brother Cheng, if you are not drunk!"
Seeing that Hou Junji was in a good state of mind, Cheng Yanjin was also very happy, and after all the hard work, he finally woke him up, and all his efforts were rewarded, so how can the excitement be described in words.
After chatting with Hou Junji for a few more words, Cheng Yanjin asked suspiciously, "Brother Hou, there is something unknown for my brother, it is said that you are the person of the Hou family of the 'Pianpian Red Sleeve Knife' in the Eight Strange Gates, how could Li Jiancheng's subordinates dare to attack and kill you so openly?" Are you not afraid of being retaliated against by your family? Recently, I haven't heard that Li Jiancheng's power has suddenly skyrocketed? Could it be that your family has given up on you? Otherwise, how dare Li Jiancheng be so rampant! ”
The Zhuque Hall under the Yan Gang is responsible for exploring the intelligence in the rivers and lakes, and he has to give it to Cheng Yanjin every day, and Li Jiancheng is around, Cheng Yanjin has specially sent people to keep an eye on him, and he has to report to him in every detail, so he knows that Li Jiancheng's power has not expanded much, and it has not yet reached the point where he can ignore the Eight Great Qimen, so he was puzzled in his heart, I don't know what kind of bear-hearted leopard gall Li Jiancheng ate, and he dared to hunt and kill Hou Junji so openly.
Listening to Cheng Yanjin's question, Hou Junji suddenly laughed bitterly, revealing an ugly face, "It turns out that Brother Cheng, you don't know yet, Houjia, it has become history!" Today's Eight Strange Gates should be renamed the Seven Great Strange Gates. ”
"What? What's going on? Which force has such the ability to destroy the Hou family? Cheng Yanjin was shocked, although the Hou family in the Eight Great Strange Sects was not as good as those top sects in the martial arts, it was not easy to mess with. Especially the Hou family is a master who has cultivated in the martial arts for many years, how could such a big family be wiped out? When did such a powerful force emerge in the martial arts? Why didn't I hear anything?
What's more, like one of the Eight Great Strange Sects was destroyed, how could such a big matter never see the people of the Vermilion Bird Hall report to him, it stands to reason that the little cubs below such a big matter dare not deceive themselves, what is the reason for this?
After listening to Cheng Yanjin's question, Hou Junji's face turned even paler, "Brother Cheng, you are also a martial artist, why haven't you heard of this?" A few years ago, the "Eternal Decision" was circulated on the rivers and lakes, and all walks of life appeared to snatch it, causing disputes in the rivers and lakes. One of the younger generations of my Hou family accidentally got the "Eternal Decision" and quietly brought it back to the family.
Who would have thought that the news was secretly leaked, and within a few days, the Hou family was pacified by a top force in the rivers and lakes, and the younger brother was hiding from Li Jiancheng's assassination at that time, and he didn't want to bring the trouble back to the family, which made people laugh, so he had been running outside during that time, and he escaped by luck. If I am still here, I will lend Li Jiancheng three guts, and he will not dare to be so rampant! ”
Listening to his words, Cheng Yanjin suddenly understood, there are countless family gangs in the rivers and lakes that have been wiped out because of the competition for "Immortal Decision", when the subordinates of the Vermilion Bird Hall reported the matter to him, he thought that the names of those family gangs were cumbersome, so he didn't listen carefully, but he didn't expect that there were even Hou Jia among the Eight Great Strange Sects, and it was really 'the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty', fortunately he didn't send someone to participate in the beginning, otherwise the result would be as bleak as the end of the waiting family.
