Chapter 501: One Flower, One World
The Mystical Texts, especially the Inflow Mystical Ones, are not so readily available on the mainland. When the Xia family was still shrinking in Yushui City, there were only three Entry-level Secret Classics in the entire family's Scripture Pavilion, and they were all the lowest-level human-level Secret Classics in the Entry-Stream Secret Books.
However, this secret book was difficult for ordinary cultivators to obtain, but for Xia Yan, it was very easy. Not to mention a human-level secret book, even if it is a god-level secret book, Xia Yan can find a way to find it.
"Xia Yan, in the past year or so, our Xia family has expanded various businesses in Purple Leaf City, more than 20 county towns under the jurisdiction of Purple Leaf City, and several main cities around Purple Leaf City. The cooperation with Zhouyun Commercial Bank is also getting closer and closer, and with the full support of Zhouyun Commercial Bank, our family business has developed rapidly. In the past year or so, the net profit of the family's various businesses has exceeded 6 million gold coins, of which 3 million gold coins are used for the expansion of the family business, and the remaining 3 million gold coins are placed in the family treasury for emergencies. Xia Feilong informed Xia Yan of the profitability of the family business.
Half of the entire family's business belongs to Xia Yan.
"Oh!" Xia Yan heard this and nodded.
"Xia Yan, half of this profit belongs to Xia Yan!" Xia Feilong said again, "The family accounts are all clearly listed. Wait for you to take a look at the family ledger. ”
"Hehe, it doesn't have to be. I don't want to get involved in the development of the family, the patriarch, and the elders, I believe that you will be able to develop the family better and better. Xia Yan smiled, "Then don't say much, I'll go meet the cloaked man senior." ”
After Xia Yan said goodbye to the patriarch Xia Feilong and the others, he walked towards a separate courtyard in the west under the leadership of a family guard.
"Hiss~"
Outside the courtyard, Xia Yan's body moved slightly. He felt a familiar wave of energy emanating from the courtyard.
The guards in front of Xia Yan naturally couldn't feel this energy.
"Your Excellency?"
Seeing Xia Yan standing still, the guard turned around in confusion and shouted in a low voice.
"Well, the senior seems to be alchemy at this time, I'll wait outside for a while. Xia Yan thought for a moment, and then said to the family guard.
This energy is the energy fluctuation generated during the alchemy. Alchemy is that the cultivator uses the spiritual power in the body and the Ding furnace to extract the medicinal surnames of various medicinal materials and then condense them.
When a cultivator is alchemy, he needs to be very focused, and if he is disturbed by external factors, it is likely that the entire alchemy process will be wasted. Even if it is not affected by external forces at all during alchemy, the success rate of alchemy is not 100%. For an ordinary alchemist, it would be good if he could control the success rate of alchemy at 30%. Even if it is Xia Yan, the success rate of alchemy is only fifty or sixty percent.
"You go first, I'll just wait here myself. Xia Yan saw that the family guard was also waiting outside the courtyard with him, so he spoke.
"Yes!" the guard replied, turning to leave.
Xia Yan looked leisurely at this time, recalling all kinds of things that had happened before in his mind.
"Come in!"
At this moment, a voice came from inside the courtyard, interrupting Xia Yan's thoughts. Xia Yan's body shook slightly, and then he raised his feet and stepped into the hospital.
Xia Yan went inside and saw that in the courtyard, there was a huge bronze Ding furnace.
"This furnace is several times larger than the furnace I use. I have never seen such a large Ding Furnace refining pills. Seeing the Ding Furnace, Xia Yan thought in surprise.
Next to the Ding furnace, on the hands of the cloaked man, a cloud of spiritual power continued to surge out and merge into the Dan furnace.
The cloak man's elixir has not been refined.
Seeing this, Xia Yan was even more surprised.
"This cloaked man senior, when he was alchemy, was able to talk to me distractedly. Xia Yan's mind turned, and his eyes looked at the Dan furnace carefully.
"Xia Yan, you are already at the peak of the Spirit Sect realm!" The cloaked man didn't look at Xia Yan either, but said out loud.
"Huh?" Xia Yan was just surprised just now, but now he was shocked. He is indeed at the peak of the Spirit Sect realm, but his spiritual power is not leaking, even if he is a Holy Emperor, he can't perceive his spiritual power without using his spiritual power. And this cloaked man senior can actually know that he is already a peak spirit sect?
"Could it be that he heard about my fight with Song Yuqi?" Xia Yan thought about it again.
"Focus, feel my alchemy carefully. The cloaked man whispered abruptly.
Xia Yan hurriedly gathered his mind, his five senses were fully opened, and he felt the spiritual power of the cloaked man. The cloaked man's spiritual power slowly poured out from his palms and converged in the Ding Furnace, forming a mass.
"Huh?" Xia Yan closed his eyes slightly, feeling the cloaked man's spiritual power, he knew that the cloaked man let himself feel it, just to give himself a chance to learn his alchemy method.
Xia Yan felt that spiritual power, converging into a round ball, but it was ......, "This spiritual power ball is actually rotating internally!" Xia Yan was secretly surprised, he could clearly feel the spiritual power released by the cloak man, and the ball formed by this spiritual power was not only rotating on the surface, but also rotating inside. Wisps of spiritual power, although they converge into a group, are so distinct and not entangled. It's like...... It's a whirlpool in the water!
"Awesome!" Xia Yan couldn't help but be convinced, he couldn't do this at all. Refining the elixir in this way is bound to get twice the result with half the effort!
About a stick of incense has passed.
"Up!"
The cloaked man let out another low snort, and with a lift of his hands, the elixir in the Ding Furnace suddenly flew out.
At this time, Xia Yan saw the jade boxes placed in the distance.
A ...... Two ...... Three ...... Xia Yan saw the pills flying out of the Ding furnace, his eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth opened wide.
"Pill, it turns out that it can still be refined like this!"
Xia Yan used to refine the pills, all of them were refined one by one, even if he only refined one at a time, he had to immerse all his mind in it. However, this cloak man actually refined a bunch of them at once.
Rows of jade boxes, each jade box, flew into a pill.
When the last jade box was also occupied by a pill, the cloaked man exhaled slightly and withdrew the spiritual power into his body.
"How is it?" the cloaked man turned around and looked at Xia Yan with deep eyes.
"Unbelievable!" Xia Yan said truthfully.
"Hehe, this is not a clever technique, and you can do it in the future. The cloaked man smiled, "You came to me, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, our Xia family has just moved to Purple Moon City, I'll come over and take a look. So, of course I want to come and see my predecessors, who have helped our Xia family so much and are the benefactors of the family. Xia Yan said respectfully.
"Well, polite words, I don't like to hear them. The cloaked man waved his hand, "Your realm is already a peak spirit sect, and its strength is far stronger than that of an ordinary peak spirit sect." However, if you encounter a strong person in the Spirit Emperor realm, even if you have an artifact, if the other party wants to kill you, I am afraid you will not even have a chance to escape. The higher the quality of the artifact, the higher the conditions required to use it. With your current strength, it will be difficult to bring out the true power of a high-quality artifact. ”
"So, you still can't afford to slack off in your cultivation. Only after stepping into the Spirit Emperor realm, you are in this sub-world, and no one can threaten you. The cloaked man flashed his eyes again, and continued.
The more Xia Yan listened, the more confused he became.
"The higher the quality of the artifact, the higher the conditions required for use!What does it mean?" Xia Yan racked his brains and thought, "Could it be that this cloaked man senior actually knows that I have an artifact left by the Lord of Illusions?"
"How could he know?" At this time, even Xia Yan, who was in a calm mood, could hardly suppress his mood.
"Say no more, come in with me!" the cloaked man did not say any more, but changed his words and walked into the room.
Xia Yan looked at the back of the cloaked man, and the more he looked, the more mysterious he felt. However, one thing is almost certain, this cloak man should not be hostile to himself.
Another point, why didn't the cloaked man enter the illusory realm when he knew about the existence of the illusory realm? Could it be that he didn't have any curiosity about the illusory realm? Or did he not care about the treasures in the illusory realm at all?
As the cloaked man entered the room, Xia Yan saw that the cloaked man was sitting directly on a futon.
"Sit down, don't leave today, come with me!" said the cloaked man, closing his eyes and speaking in a slow voice.
"Hmm!" Xia Yan nodded, looked at the front of him, in this room, there was only one futon, which had been used by the cloaked man's seniors, and Xia Yan sat down directly on the ground.
At first, Xia Yan didn't feel anything unusual.
But--When an hour passed, another hour passed, Xia Yan gradually felt a little different. Xia Yan felt that the five spirit beads in his body, as well as the spirit gathering points in his abdomen, were shaking slightly. This kind of vibration was actually caused by a trace of external force. This wisp of external force is by his side, surrounding himself.
At first, Xia Yan didn't feel this ethereal external force, but with the changes in his body, he could gradually feel it. Xia Yan knew that this ethereal external force was emanating from the cloaked man.
Xia Yan was so smart, he immediately understood why the cloaked man wanted to enter the meditation with him. The five spirit beads and the spirit gathering points in Xia Yan's body vibrated more and more frequently, and every moment, they had to vibrate dozens or hundreds of times. Gradually, Xia Yan's mind was completely immersed in another world.
Time goes by constantly. And Xia Yan didn't feel the passage of time in the outside world at all, he was still immersed in another world. This kind of immersion, for Xia Yan, is definitely something that can be encountered but not sought, and this is obviously a very unique way of cultivation.
