Chapter 10: Breaking through the middle stage of the Xuanwu Realm
Li Yunzhi left the palace and passed through a few streets before coming to Baicaotang, the largest medicinal herb trading house in Qingfeng City---. Several warriors stood on both sides of the gate at the gate of Baicao Hall, and Li Yunzhi came to the door, paused and walked straight in.
In the spacious lobby of the trading house, not many customers choose the herbs they need at the counter on the side of the hall. Li Yunzhi walked towards the counter.
"Fourth Prince!" Before Li Yunzhi could reach the counter where the herbs were displayed, he heard someone stop him.
"Do you know me?" Li Yuanzhi turned his head suspiciously, and saw a slightly chubby, octagonal beard middle-aged man just walking towards him from the inner room on the inside of the hall with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, He Dong, the steward of Baicao Hall in Xiaqingfeng City, you can call me He in charge. The king of the town has the grace of one enemy and two enemies, and he is fortunate to see it below. I also heard that the fourth prince killed a strong man in the Huangyuan Realm with one palm, even if it was an injured Huangyuan Realm, it was also the Huangyuan Realm. So under the recognition of the four princes you. The fourth prince is really a young hero!" He Dong said with a smile, those eyes that didn't seem to be able to see the little ones but revealed the essence of light.
"Hehehe, what's the matter, I'm just relying on my father's prestige. Li Yunzhi didn't say much, and said politely.
"How can the fourth prince have time to come to my Baicao Hall? If the fourth prince wants to buy any medicinal materials, as long as he knows it, I will send someone to send it to the Zhenwang Mansion, why bother the fourth prince to go to it himself. He Dong still smiled and said with a smile.
"What's the matter, I really need to buy a batch of medicinal herbs, since that's the case, I'm not welcome. Li Yunzhi took out the list of medicinal materials that had been prepared long ago from his arms, including the medicinal materials needed this time and some alternative medicinal materials, but the effect of the pills he practiced was a little different.
Hedong took the list and looked at it roughly, frowned, but his expression returned to normal in an instant, and such a subtle change in expression was still captured by Li Yunzhi. "What's the matter, what's the difficulty?"
"Hehe, the fourth prince laughed. The difficulty is to say that there are a few herbs in it, and our store is still out of stock, but it doesn't matter, you can get all the herbs listed on the list within three days. ”
"That's good, what's the matter, then I'll come over to get the medicine in three days, how about it?"
"Why bother the fourth prince, three days later, I will send someone to deliver the medicinal materials needed by the fourth prince to the mansion. ”
"Then thank you!" Li Yunzhi arched his hand and turned around and walked out of the Hundred Grass Hall.
Soon after Li Yunzhi left, Hedong came to a room in a courtyard behind Baicaotang. Sitting at the top is a young girl, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red pink, thin lips like rose petals delicate and dripping, this girl is really a beauty. At the bottom of the girl sat a white-haired old man dressed in navy blue.
"What kind of person, why bother, what is the steward to receive in person. Hehehehe," the white-haired old man in the room asked.
"Elder Huiwan, there is an eight- or nine-year-old child who came, he ....." Before Hedong could finish speaking, the white-haired old man interrupted Hedong and said contemptuously: "What kind of big man should I be, why do I have to stay in Qingfeng City for a long time, and the more I live, the more I go back! Hmph!" the white-haired old man became more and more dissatisfied with He Dong the more he spoke. At this time, the girl sitting at the top frowned, but did not answer.
"Hehehe, Elder Hui Wan, this child's name is Li Yunzhi, and he is the youngest son of Li Lingtian, the king of the town!" After Hedong finished speaking, he stood aside and did not speak. The heart said: Hmph, old thing, I have been embarrassed by the headquarters since I was in the headquarters, otherwise how could I have come to Qingfeng City from the headquarters, and now the performance of Qingfeng City Baicaotang has become the top three in the medicinal material business of Dingyuan Chamber of Commerce. When I didn't know that the old man was going to let his grandson replace me. Hum!
"Oh, Hedong, I heard that Li Lingtian had just broken through to the Emperor Yuan Realm and had reached the mid-stage peak realm, and the two Emperor Yuan Realms of the Zong family, who were fighting one against the other, had no power to fight back!"
Without waiting for He Dong to answer, the white-haired Elder Wan said: "Hmph, so what, it seems that your He Dong's eyesight is getting worse and worse, what good results can you have if you offend the Zong family, even if he is at the peak of the middle stage of the Emperor Yuan Realm, don't forget that the Zong family has more than one Emperor Yuan Realm, not to mention that the Zong family has four Emperor Yuan Realm Great Perfections, it can be said that one foot has stepped into the Holy Realm, don't you know that the Holy Martial Arts are not out, what does this mean?"
He Dong didn't care about Elder Wan's words, but said respectfully: "Miss Hui, Li Lingtian is indeed as Miss said. But this is not a reason for me to attach importance to the other party! The key is Li Lingtian's youngest son. ”
"Oh, why now?" asked the girl.
He Dong paused and continued: "According to the spies' reply, Li Yunzhi seemed to have disappeared about a year ago, that is, on the day Li Yunzhi disappeared, Li Lingtian was seriously injured and was brought back by Li Lingtian's eldest son. During this period of time, Li Lingtian seemed to have never been out of the house. Just recently, Li Yunzhi came back, and Li Lingtian not only recovered from his injuries but also broke through to the Emperor Yuan Realm!
"This doesn't mean anything, maybe it was Li Lingtian who healed his injuries on his own, not only healed his injuries but also broke through to the Emperor Yuan Realm!" Elder Wan said lightly.
"To say that Li Lingtian's injuries have healed and made a breakthrough cannot be explained. However, after Li Yunzhi returned, he already had the cultivation of the early stage of the Xuanwu Realm! You must know that Li Yunzhi was a person who had no cultivation when he disappeared, and the entire Great Xia Dynasty knew that Li Lingtian's youngest son did not cultivate martial arts. It all seemed too coincidental. At first, I was suspicious, but I was sure just now, and all this was because of Li Yunzhi. He Dong said firmly.
"What's the matter, why are you so sure?" the girl asked curiously.
"Miss, please look. After He Dong finished speaking, he took out a list from his arms, which was the one that Li Yunzhi handed over to He Dong.
"The medicinal materials listed on this list are what Li Yunzhi wants to purchase, and several of them are very extraordinary, and they are all helpful for cultivation, especially the Silver Illusion Grass and the Earth Spirit Root have the effect of condensing vitality. The person behind Li Yunzhi may not be a simple and powerful person, but most likely an alchemist!"
After He Dong finished speaking, he still stood aside and did not speak. His heart was shaken: although it was the result of his countless guesses, he still couldn't suppress his excitement every time he thought of it, alchemist, if he could be a better alchemist, his status in the Dingyuan Chamber of Commerce would definitely rise in the future.
The girl lowered her eyebrows and was silent, and after a while, she raised her head and said to He Dong: "You are fully responsible for Li Yunzhi's affairs, try your best to meet Li Yunzhi's requirements, and you can take care of the Zhenwang Mansion in the future." In addition, Li Yunzhi revealed whether he could sell the refined pills to the Dingyuan Chamber of Commerce, and we provided the materials, and we also provided the herbs listed in this list for free. Don't force it!"
"Yes!" He Dong responded excitedly.
Li Yunzhi didn't know everything that happened in the Baicao Hall, if Li Yunzhi heard the conclusion of He Dong's analysis, he would definitely secretly talk about it, and He Dong's guess was basically already eight or nine.
Li Yunzhi left Baicaotang and returned directly to the palace. It had been a while since Li Yunzhi had broken through to the early stage of the Xuanwu Realm, and the cultivation of the early stage of the Xuanwu Realm had been completely consolidated. During this period of time, Li Yunzhi was tempering his martial arts, and because too many things had happened recently, Li Yunzhi did not calm down and cultivate.
"It's time to practice hard, and strive to break through to the middle stage of the Xuanwu Realm. Li Yunzhi muttered in the room, then sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes, silently running the first layer of the Taixu Tianyan Recipe - Spirit Refining, and the spirit refining was to incorporate the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth into the body. Li Yunzhi had cultivated the first layer of the Taixu Heavenly Technique several times before, but without exception, all of them ended in failure. However, under the guidance of Master Hua, Li Yunzhi finally reluctantly achieved spirit refining, from the beginning of the vitality into the body like silk to the current vitality like a spirit snake penetrating into Li Yunzhi's body, meridians, after the vitality is incorporated into the body and runs for a cycle, the vitality finally converges into the dantian, and then the last step of the first layer --- refining the spirit. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was compressed in the dantian, constantly refining and compressing, and finally formed a Yuan Qi bead. Li Yunzhi ran the exercises and fused the Yuan Qi Bead into the Xuanyuan. This is repeated, accompanied by the continuous fusion of the Yuan Qi Bead into the Xuan Yuan.
Xuanyuan was like a hungry wolf, and after an endless demand that lasted for three hours, it finally began to gradually slow down.
When the last particle of Yuan Qi bead fused into Xuanyuan, it fell silent slightly, and then there was a violent trembling, Xuanyuan contracted slightly, and then Xuanyuan continued to expand, and finally reached the zero boundary point, Xuanyuan exploded instantly, and then Li Yunzhi hurriedly ran the exercises to compress Xuanyuan again, and finally condensed. Li Yunzhi's eyes opened suddenly, the pitch-black pupils, the blue and white light passed quickly, his mouth opened slightly, and a mouthful of somewhat turbid gas was spit out...
Li Yunzhi exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Li Yuanzhi's still immature face suddenly revealed a little excited.
Li Yunzhi jumped out of bed, walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, Li Yunzhi jumped, ran the Qinglong Body Method, and then slapped it out. "There is no phase of the pulse", and a rockery in the distance suddenly fell apart.
"Finally, in the middle of the Xuanwu Realm, the strength has improved again. Li Yunzhi fell from the sky, sensed the thick Xuanyuan Qi in his body, and muttered.
Three days later. Li Yunzhi practiced the martial art ---- Starfall Fist in his courtyard, since Master Hua obtained the Starfall Fist, Li Yunzhi has not cultivated, but has been tempering the Phaseless Pulse Hand, and now the Phaseless Pulse Hand has been cultivated by Li Yuanzhi to the fullest. At this time, Li Yunzhi remembered to cultivate the Starfall Fist. Starfall Fist is worthy of being a fierce and domineering boxing technique, one punch is punched, as if the stars can be shot down, it is really a fist as its name.
"Fourth Prince, what is the matter of Baicaotang, I am looking for you if I have something. After Li Yunzhi hit a starfall punch, he heard the voice of Steward Tian at the gate of the courtyard.
"Oh, are you here?" Li Yunzhi thought, so he put away his fist. Walk outside. At this time, Steward Tian led He Dong, the steward of Baicaotang, to stand at the door of the courtyard and wait.
"Uncle Tian, leave it to me here. Li Yunzhi saw Steward Tian and said politely.
And the old slave took his leave. Steward Tian bowed and said.
Li Yunzhi led He Dong to the room and sat down.
"The strength of the fourth prince has improved again, congratulations! The medicinal materials needed by the fourth prince have been gathered. After He Dong finished speaking, he handed over a storage bag.
Li Yunzhi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that it was the steward of Baocaotang who personally sent the herbs.
"What's so polite, I actually bothered you to make a trip yourself. What's the matter, I'm afraid there's something to find me. Li Yunzhi arched his hand.
"The fourth prince is really smart, since this is the case, he will say it directly. Dare to ask, is the herb that the fourth prince bought this time the one behind the furnace alchemy?" He Dong said unhurriedly.
When Li Yunzhi heard this, his whole body tightened. The heart said: This old guy is not simple.
"The fourth prince doesn't need to be nervous, guess one or two from the list of herbs purchased by the fourth prince. He Dong paused and then said: "There is a reluctant request below, if the pill is refined, I hope that the fourth prince can sell the excess pill to Zaixia, of course, the herbs purchased by the fourth prince this time, I will not take a penny from Baicaotang." If there are other pills, my Treasure Grass Hall is willing to produce herbs, as long as the person behind you can give me one after refining the pill. No matter how many Cheng Dan there are, I only need one in Baicaotang. How?" He Dong asked with a look of hope.
"Promise him, it's okay! He didn't dare to blatantly do anything to offend an alchemist. You don't know how much energy an alchemist has. Li Yunzhi, who was pondering, suddenly heard the voice of the master in his mind.
"Okay, I promise you, after the pill is refined, I will send someone to Baicao Hall to inform you. Li Yunzhi replied.
"Okay, then thank you to the fourth prince! I won't disturb the fourth prince's Qing Xiu!" He Dong was so excited in his heart, it seemed that there was really an alchemist behind Li Yunzhi. Hehe, Zongjia! I hope you don't go too far.
After He Dong left, Li Yunzhi opened the storage bag and took out the herbs, and then asked, "How about these herbs, Master?"
"It's not a very long vintage, but it's enough!" said Master Hua confidently.
"Then, when is the master going to refine the pill?" Li Yunzhi was looking forward to it.
"Don't worry, tonight first prepare the essence washing and marrow removal liquid, and after your family has gone through the essence washing and marrow purification, after taking this elixir, as long as you retreat for a while, you can break through the realm. Master Hua said unhurriedly.
On the second day, Li Yunzhi handed over the medicinal liquid refined by Master Hua the night before to his father, mother and three brothers, after learning the efficacy of this medicinal liquid. Li Lingtian's husband and wife and Li Yunzhi's three brothers were shocked beyond measure. Alchemist, Li Yunzhi's master turned out to be an alchemist.
After Li Yunzhi handed over the medicinal liquid to his family, he returned to his courtyard, and at this time, Li Yunzhi was excitedly recalling in his mind the alchemy foundation that Master Hua had given him.
An hour later, when Li Yunzhi was familiar with the basics of alchemy.
"Xiao Zhi, how is it? How familiar is the foundation of alchemy?"
"Master, I'm already familiar with it, but there are still some aspects that I don't understand. ”
"Alchemy is not an overnight thing, remember not to be in a hurry to learn alchemy, if you don't do it well, you may be counterattacked, or even lose your life!"
Without waiting for Li Yunzhi to answer, I saw that Master Hua was already coiled in the air in front of Li Yunzhi at some point, and Master Hua waved his sleeves. That non-pot and non-Ding thing appeared in front of Li Yunzhi. And Master Hua changed his previous kind expression and looked solemn. Master Hua poked out a sword finger. Suddenly, blue flames slowly bloomed from the fingertips. Li Yunzhi instantly felt that the indoor temperature had risen sharply.
"There is a fire for the teacher, which can burn the sky and scorch the ground, and the name is: too void and true fire. This fire was obtained at the same time as the master and the Taixu Heavenly Formula. Master Hua said, and with a finger of his sword, the flame that was originally the size of the flower bone broke away from his finger and instantly wrapped the thing that was not a pot or a ding.
The flower master sitting in the air waved his sleeves from time to time, and a herb flew into the mouthful of non-potted things. It is calcined into a ball of essence beads in an instant. The things that were wrapped in blue flames were burned more and more red, but Li Yunzhi on the side found that the surface of the non-pot and non-tripod things was flowing one by one.
"Xiao Zhi, the name of this thing that is not a pot or a ding, is called Ning. The seal on it has the effect of gathering, purifying and fusing qi. As if he noticed Li Yunzhi's surprised look, Master Hua spoke.
It seemed that the mouth was confirming Master Hua's words, and I saw that every time the seal was circulating, there would be vitality circulating in it with the ringworm as the center, and then impurities of different colors would float out of the pores of the ring, and then they would be burned into nothingness by the flames.
Over time, Master Hua exercised all the herbs into a ball of essence beads, and that ball of essence beads swirled at high speed in the hemorrhoids.
"Melt!" Master Hua shouted. The clumps of essence beads in the gel gradually fused together.
In the end, I saw Master Hua, his hands were sealed, and then he probed with both hands and hit the ringing in the air. In a moment, seven round and smooth, pale green pills flew out of the ring, spinning in the air above the ring, and for a short time the room was filled with an enticing medicinal fragrance.
Master Hua made a seal with both hands and hit the pill, and in an instant, the surface of the pill seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and at the same time, the fragrance of the pill disappeared instantly. Master Hua immediately beckoned, and the pill flew towards Li Yunzhi, and as soon as Li Yunzhi reached out and took the pill in the palm of his hand.
"Whew~~ With a long sigh of relief, Master Hua waved his hand, and the flames and rings immediately submerged into his body.
A moment later, Li Yunzhi put seven pills into a jade bottle, looking at the pills in the bottle, Li Yunzhi was looking forward to the moment when his family broke through.
