Chapter 100: The Clouds Move in All Directions
Although Cheng Yanjin's actions in Bingzhou were covered up by Li Valve's people in every possible way, all the news did not spread to the ears of ordinary people. But Li Valve's people can hide from those ordinary people, but they can't hide from those top forces on the rivers and lakes and some of the gate lords in the court.
Like those elders of the Song Valve, all these people or forces who can know the news are not trivial, and they can have today's status and status, naturally one by one is more shrewd than the other. Although it is said that Cheng Yanjin killed tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Bingzhou, these people don't care, what they care about is what is hidden under the surface, such as the big ding.
Cheng Yanjin took the people and horses to enter the sphere of influence of Li Valve in Bingzhou so much, just for such a big ding, and almost lost his life, if this big ding has no secrets, it is impossible, so the first time they learned the news, these forces invariably sent the most capable spies under their hands to Changbai Mountain, and tried their best to find out the secret of that big ding.
The same is true of Song Valve, although it is said that several elders at the upper level are discussing day and night whether to win over Cheng Biting Jin, but as early as when they got the news, Song Valve's secret agents were sent out. Even if they want to recruit Cheng Yanjin to work for the Song family, the Song family is also very interested in the secret of that Dading.
After returning to Changbai Mountain all the way and settling down the manpower, Cheng Yanjin immediately began to prepare for the alchemy. That fire tripod was placed by him in the courtyard of the cottage, and dozens of martial arts masters were sent to guard it day and night.
Although everyone was suspicious of Cheng Biting Jin attaching so much importance to this Dading, Cheng Biting Jin did not have the slightest meaning of explanation. Just ordered to go down, all the people can watch the big tripod up close, but they can't take weapons to cut them at will, so as not to damage the big ding.
Cheng Biting Jin knew in his heart that after his own fuss in Bingzhou, this Dading had already attracted the attention of people with a heart, and now he doesn't know how many eyes are secretly staring at him, as the so-called doing more and making more mistakes, in order not to make people suspicious, Cheng Biting Jin had to keep his mouth shut, and when he took this fire tripod to open the furnace for alchemy, just those people thought about it themselves, and they also saved their own words.
In this way, you don't have to lie to your brothers, you must know that paper can't contain fire after all, and things will always come to light one day. And he doesn't say anything, let them guess, and even if all the truth is revealed in the future, no one can blame him.
It's just that the fire tripod must be watched day and night, although it looks big and heavy, but if there is a top martial arts master, with deep internal strength, he can get the fire tripod away. Cheng Yanjin didn't want to work hard but be made a wedding dress by others.
You must know that there are countless talented people in this world, and there must be people who know the secret of Jiuding like yourself. Other people don't dare to say it, at least Yang Guang must know it today. Therefore, he must improve his strength and power in a very short period of time, so as not to be robbed by others if he gets what he has in hand.
But then again, anyone who knows the secret of this Jiuding will not be stupid enough to snatch this Huoding with great fanfare, after all, it is not good for anyone to make a big fuss. Besides, these nine tripods must be gathered together in the Four Seasons Ding or the Five Elements Ding to work, just a single fire tripod is afraid that there may not be a few people willing to fight.
On the second day after returning to the cottage, Cheng Yanjin prepared the medicinal materials and began to refine the pill in front of more than 10,000 people at the hero meeting. The reason why he did this was to let the people under his command know that the reason why he spent a lot of effort to get this fire tripod back was to refine the pill for them and make them more loyal to themselves in their hearts.
Second, Cheng Biting Jin also hopes to tell those peeping people through this move that the reason why he got this Huoding back has no other meaning, just for alchemy, so that those who think they know the Jiuding code can rest assured. As for whether it can successfully divert the attention of those people, it is not within the scope of Cheng Yanjin's consideration. 'The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky', if there is really an unknown person who wants to snatch this fire tripod, the axe in Grandpa Cheng's hand is not a vegetarian.
Cheng Biting Jin's action actually played a role, looking at the information in his hand, Li Jiancheng frowned and was puzzled. At his top, Li Yuan, the owner of Li Valve, was also puzzled.
According to the news sent by Li Valve's spies, the nine ditches in Qi County have been discovered, and the contents have also been cleaned up. Judging from the items found in that cave, it was clearly an alchemist's cave.
According to the analysis, that Cheng Yanjin should have accidentally discovered this cave mansion that has a history of at least hundreds of years, and then got the secret book of alchemy from it, so there was the scene of alchemy in Changbai Mountain. That big tripod now seems to be a dan tripod for alchemy.
In the Daomen, a good Danding is rare, so if it is said that Cheng Yanjin went to great lengths to get that Dading back in order to refine the pill, it would make some sense. It's just that the Li family's father and son still have some doubts in their hearts, and Cheng Biting Jin still refuses to give up this Dading at a critical juncture, but what is the reason for this?
Could it be that that Dading still has the effect of increasing the number of finished pills for alchemists? According to Li Valve's previous information, on the famous 'Sunset West Mountain' among the 100,000 mountains, there is such a super Danding that can increase the Dan production rate.
If it is said that refining the same kind of pill can refine five finished pills with ordinary pills, then using that super pill can refine seven or even eight finished pills. Although even those profound alchemists can't figure out the truth in this, the effect is real.
If that's the case, then that Dading is indeed a little exciting. However, it is only heartwarming. All the forces behind the foundation know a simple truth: taking pills to increase internal strength and cultivation can only play a temporary role, but this kind of behavior of protecting seedlings is not beneficial to the human body's own cultivation in the martial arts in the future.
Besides, a large part of the pills that were refined were relatively dangerous, especially those with relatively high grades. God knows what will happen if you eat it. Even if the effect is already known, the effect is different because of the different nature of the human body.
Therefore, a large part of the elixirs refined by those alchemists were purchased by those martial arts masters who cultivated alone on the rivers and lakes. As for the gate valve like Li Valve and those top forces in the rivers and lakes, the junior disciples under the sect are all doing penance step by step, and those pills that can increase their internal strength and cultivation are not allowed for them to take them.
As for the so-called elixirs that can be immortalized and even feathered into immortals refined by alchemists, pull them down quickly, if there is really such an effect, those crazy people would have eaten them themselves a long time ago, where would they be left for others, and only those fools with brains stupider than pigs would believe it.
Although there are also some respected figures among the alchemists, such as the person who can refine the 'Six Realms of Reincarnation' elixir, the person in the martial arts respectfully called 'senior' when he saw it! But in general, the martial arts people in the line of Qi Refiners still despise those alchemists very much in their hearts.
If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the entire Daomen who cultivate martial arts will be harmed by these alchemists.
Because of this, whether it is the top forces in the rivers and lakes or the gate lord clan in the court, there are not many alchemists raised by their subordinates, and these alchemists mainly refine those therapeutic pills, which are used to treat physical injuries in an emergency, so it can be said that these people are an alternative Langzhong.
Although the Dading obtained by Cheng Yanjin may have the function of increasing the number of finished pills, in the eyes of some forces, that thing is dispensable, even if there is no Dading himself, he can refine the pills, it is nothing more than a small gap in quantity. You can't afford to rob for such a thing, and provoke such a powerful enemy for no reason.
Of course, there are some people who have doubts and always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems. These people are some old and refined characters, although they will not see any problems for a while, but in their hearts they subconsciously feel that something is wrong, so they did not withdraw their spies, but ordered those spies to step up their spying.
While some unknown forces are trying to spy hard, there are also some super forces who are having a heated discussion to see how to deal with Cheng Biting Jin. These forces naturally know the secret of Jiuding very well, and now what makes them feel a little tricky is that there is a huge difference in the opinions on treating Cheng Yanjin and that Dading.
Regardless of whether Cheng Yanjin really knew the secret of the Jiuding, or inadvertently made a Danding, but it happened to be one of the Jiuding. No matter what the truth is, these super forces don't dare to take it lightly, after all, this matter is really a bit weird, and these forces are more inclined to believe that Cheng Yanjin knows the secret of Jiuding.
Although this Jiuding has always been only inherited in the temple, only those careerists who expect to face the south and turn their backs on the north and control the world are interested, but if there is chaos today, all the forces in the Daomen are not to be outdone and appear in the rivers and lakes to expand their strength and influence.
Nowadays, a large part of the anti-thief rebels in various places are organized by the people secretly sent by various forces, and some are also inextricably linked with these forces. Therefore, for one of the nine tripods that suddenly appeared in Cheng Yanjin, he naturally coveted it.
It's just that if Cheng Biting Jin didn't get the big tripod by chance, but found it specifically, it means that he knows the secret of this Jiuding, then the identity of this Cheng Biting Jin is very problematic, after all, those who can know the secret of this Jiuding are not ordinary forces.
Although this big tripod is one of the nine tripods, it is only one of them, and the nine tripods can only play a role if they are gathered, just one, and it has no effect. If for the sake of such a big ding, which is still insignificant, it is not cost-effective to offend an extremely hidden and powerful force.
Therefore, these forces have sent their powerful people to contact Cheng Yanjin, and it is necessary to find out whether this Cheng Yanjin really knows the secret of Jiuding, if it is just a coincidence, then these forces will naturally take that Dading as their own without hesitation.
