Chapter Twenty-Eight: Refining the Golden Pill

Yunjing agreed, ready to go out the door. Feng Qing followed her, muttering: "That little girl is indeed extraordinary, her mana is actually above your master, but it's a pity that she is disguised too well, and no one will believe me when I say it." What's her name? ”

"She is Yiran's sister. Her name is Yizhu. ”

"Yiran actually has such a hateful sister? It's not my own sister......"

Yunjing stopped: "I'll go to the main hall to listen to the master's lecture, maybe Yizhu is also there, do you still want to follow?" ”

"Ah, I suddenly thought that Jingshun had asked me to buy something for Granny Huang, so I went down the mountain first. There will be a period later! With that, Feng Qing ran away.

Yunjing glanced at her colorful back, smiled and shook her head.

She knew that Yizhu was not good, and Feng Qing was not safe here.

When I came to the main hall, the brothers and sisters had almost arrived. The Master did not sit cross-legged on a straw mat as he usually did in the morning class, but sat upright on a high chair with a serious expression. The rest of the disciples stood on either side.

"Cloudscape is here." Xu Duchen always loved this apprentice.

Yunjing bowed to Master and stood in the queue.

Senior Brother Lu Hao stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't Master summon us here?" ”

Xu Duchen said: "I just received the holy decree from the official family, because the golden soldiers frequently violated the border, the official family was worried and unwell, and asked us to step up the refining of the golden pill. Not only the official family has to take it, but also the princes and ministers, princes and princesses, and harem concubines have to take it to stabilize people's hearts. For such a large amount of gold pill to be successfully refined within a month, this matter is not trivial, and we must work together from top to bottom. ”

After listening to Xu Duchen's words, the disciples in the audience couldn't help but discuss. The expenses inside and outside the White Crane Temple are funded by the imperial court, and if you can't complete the tasks assigned by the officials, you will not only be blamed by the officials, but I am afraid that the Taoist temple will not be able to protect it.

However, such a heavy task may not be able to be accomplished with the power of the whole view.

To refine the elixir, it is not only necessary to collect a variety of minerals and plants, but also to clean these raw materials, and then choose a good day and an auspicious day to officially make a fire alchemy. After the refining is completed, add realgar powder, ox gall and other materials to continue refining. It takes 30 days just to simmer the ingredients, so there's no time to collect and clean the raw materials!

"Thanks to Prime Minister Li Zhenggang pleading in front of the official family, the official family gave three days of grace, but Baihe Mountain is full of cliffs, even if the people in my view have kung fu, it is also dangerous and dangerous."

"Master, since it is the decree of the official family, then the disciples must fight to complete the alchemy. I'm going to do a division of labor, there are many peaks in Baihe Mountain, and everyone is doing things separately. ”

"Well, Hao'er, you can do it."

After everyone dispersed, Yunjing walked up to the master.

Xu Duchen glanced at her and said, "Jing'er, you still stay in the view and practice." Just leave the alchemy matter to the brothers and sisters. ”

"Everyone is worried about the Taoist temple, go all out, how can I stay out of it?"

Xu Duchen sighed: "The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die." This matter is deliberately difficult for the imperial court, even if the refining of the golden pill is completed, they will still have a way to blame it at that time. ”

"What's going on, Master?" Yun Jing palpitated, "Haven't you always been appreciated by the official family and reused by the imperial court?" Why do they bother us? ”

"I repeatedly persuaded the official family to send troops to recover the six major cities in the north, which angered him."

"My father was also snubbed in the court because of the main battle."

"Now the Jin soldiers are aggressive, and if they blindly seek peace, they will only encourage the enemy's arrogance. If the Jin soldiers drove straight into the capital and approached the capital, it would still be the people of Li who would be harmed. ”

"Yes, such a simple truth, why don't the officials understand it?"

"Now that the traitors of the court are in charge, confusing the public, the officials are deceived by the traitors, and they want to beg for peace by groveling."

Yun Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Master, the more traitorous the ministers, the more we can't let the officials be dissatisfied with us. We must not only complete this alchemy task, but also make the official family very satisfied with Jindan. ”

Xu Duchen shook his head: "Jing'er, I understand what you mean, but in this matter, the court has made it clear that it will punish me, and I am afraid that such a heavy task will not be able to be completed reluctantly." ”

Yunjing smiled: "I'll figure it out." ”

Farewell Master, come out of the main hall. Yunjing looked left and right and called, "Jun Wei, Jun Wei." ”

Jun Wei immediately appeared beside her: "What's wrong?" ”

"Can you call the mountain god, I have something important to discuss."

After a short time, Juechen came to Yunjing, still with that personable and chic appearance.

Yunjing recounted what had just happened in the main hall.

Hearing this, he frowned: "I'm afraid this is another matter between the prince and Zhang Yan, and they have made waves in the imperial court." What did Xu Daochang say? ”

Yun Jing replied: "Master has no confidence in this matter, I have an idea, I am afraid of ......."

"You say."

"There are many spirits in Beishan, if you can help us, you will definitely be able to collect the raw materials within three days."

He smiled: "You are shrewd. ”

"I'm sorry for you to inform everyone, as long as you are willing to help, the door of the White Crane Temple will be open for them in the future, and the incense here will be eaten by them."

"You don't have to open conditions, everyone will definitely help with this favor."

"So confident?"

He was silent.

Early in the morning of the second day, the senior brother Lu Hao ran all the way to Xu Duchen's room.

"Master, Master!"

Xu Duchen was sitting upright in the room practicing the art of tuning, when he heard Lu Hao's anxious voice and asked, "Why are you so alarmed?" ”

"Warehouse...... Storeroom...... Let's take a look! Lu Hao was a little incoherent when he spoke.

"What, is the storeroom stolen?" Xu Duchen exclaimed. Yesterday, the apprentices worked hard all day, and the collected raw materials were placed in the warehouse, if there was any failure in these materials, it would definitely delay the alchemy event.

Coming to the warehouse, Xu Duchen why is Lu Hao so abnormal tomorrow. There are a large number of raw materials for alchemy in the room: not only Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, gallnut, raspberry, Aracea, honey locust, dodder silk, vermilion, chicken blood vine and other herbs, but also Zeng Qing, magnetite, saltpeter, asbestos, mica, lime and other minerals.

Who can collect so much material in just one night? I'm afraid there is no other possibility than the gods descending to earth.

Xu Duchen looked at the materials piled up into a small mountain, and thought of what Yunjing said to himself with a smile yesterday. This girl is quite clever, but she can't do this even if she has the ability to go through the sky.

"What about the clouds? Call her. Xu Duchen instructed Lu Hao.

In Yunjing's room, there were several people asleep. The first to wake up was Feng Qing, after all, she had the blood on her body that broke the dawn.

"Oops, Shuinan, you pressed my leg!" Feng Qing muttered as she pushed aside a leg that was pressing on her, got up and yawned.

"If you eat some incense, you have to do such coolies, can't I go to other temples in the future?" Feng Qing glared at Yunjing, she was still asleep.

"This is not Ganoderma lucidum, it's a mushroom, it's a mushroom!" Yunjing muttered in her mouth, she was busy all night last night, and she was still telling Jing Shun even in her dreams that he had found the wrong medicinal herb again.

At this time, someone outside the window shouted: "Yunjing, Master called you!" ”

Feng Qing pushed Yunjing: "Hurry up, your master called you!" ”

"Oh, let me sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy." Yunjing rolled over and continued to sleep.

"Official, why did you come in? This is the girl's boudoir! Feng Qing raised her voice and said.

Yunjing is a spirit, where is the shadow of the Chen!

"Why are you so annoying!" She gestured and hit Feng Qing.

"Yo, it's useless to say that your master told you, why did you get up so fast?" Feng Qing quipped.

"Do you also want to be refined into a Dan?" Yun Jing carefully avoided Shui Nan, who was still sleeping, and got up to put on his outer robe," Jing said blindly. ”

Feng Qing smiled and called Shui Nan: "You should get up too!" Go back to the mountains and continue to sleep, and when there are more people, be careful that the little Taoist priest catches you! ”

"Even if you stew me today, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to get tired...... Shui Nan replied, and went back to sleep.

"Don't call her, let her sleep. No one in my room came. "In the past, only the Spirit Realm Senior Brother would come uninvited, but now that he is not here, no one will come to her room.

Yunjing took the door and went straight to the warehouse, and the master was standing with his hands in his hands, standing at the door waiting for her.

"Jing'er, do you know what's going on?"

"Master, I told you not to worry. Later, we'll clean the ingredients and put them in the furnace. ”

"Tell me where you got these materials?"

Yunjing smiled: "It's the mountain god who helps." ”

Xu Duchen was puzzled: "Even if the mountain gods are powerful, they can't collect so many materials overnight. ”

"Master, you have forgotten that Beishan is not only the mountain god himself."

Xu Duchen suddenly realized: "You mean, many spirits under the mountain god have come to help?" ”

"Exactly."

"The mountain god has done us such a great favor, how can we thank him!"

"I promised that if the spirits of Beishan were willing to come to help, the incense of our White Crane Temple would be consumed by them. But the mountain god said it didn't have to be that way. ”

Xu Duchen said: "I have been friends with the mountain god for a long time, and I have long ordered your senior brothers to turn a blind eye to the spirits from the North Mountain, and they originally came and went freely in my view. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder everyone agreed to help so easily. It turned out that Master had been gracious to them a long time ago. ”

"It's not a favor. It is more difficult for animals to cultivate immortals than for humans. Since they have an upward mind, I just try to make it as convenient as possible, and in the end, it is up to them to practice the same thing. ”

"They are all kind-hearted people, and they will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions."

"Hmm." Xu Duchen nodded.

"So you can rest assured, we can start alchemy."

The alchemy furnace of the White Crane Temple is made of granite, more than one zhang high, the base is quadrangular, and the stove body is octagonal. The auspicious time had passed, and the three alchemy furnaces were heated at the same time, and the refining of the elixir began.
