Chapter Seventy-Five: Tushi Palace
Su Li saw that Mo Sang was generous, but he couldn't go even more. He thought for a while and said.
"Uncle Shi, why don't I introduce you to Master. He has a lot of good things there, you can pick one and put it on my account. Anyway, Master has asked me to do a lot of things for him over the years, and he owes me a lot of things, and I haven't asked for them yet. You can just pick whatever you want, okay?"
Mo Sang saw that Su Li did not give up and still wanted to pay himself, so he shook his head helplessly. Although he didn't really want to ask for any payment, he really wanted to get acquainted with this polite and kind Su Li, and he also wanted to meet his senior brother Xu Yuanqing. In the past, when he was practicing with Master, he heard Master praise this senior brother, saying that he was a rare genius. Once comparing himself to him, Mo Sang knew that this senior brother was not only a cultivator, but also a rare alchemy genius!
Mo Sang was not interested in the reward that Su Li had said, but he was very interested in refining medicine.
Alchemists are rare figures in the cultivation world, if the cultivator is the best qualification among mortals, then the alchemist is the best cultivator among the cultivators.
Their yield rate is lower than the probability of being selected suitable for cultivation among mortals, and only one in tens of thousands of cultivators can be produced. There are only a dozen known alchemists among the cultivators in the whole continent, and these people are all elders of powerful families. Alchemists are almost a strange profession that is rarer than magic weapons, and their scarcity is also destined for them to be extraordinary.
The elixir refined by the alchemist can be eaten by mortals and cultivators. Some high-grade pills can even train an ordinary person's system into a cultivator who can cultivate the truth, while some top-grade pills can even help people open the door to immortality. There are many other functional pills that are also very precious, and it can be said that some cultivators or ordinary people can rely on the pills to make up for the scarce things in their bodies.
The preciousness of the pill determines the value of the alchemist, and the scarcity of the alchemist also makes the pill even more precious. Under this vicious circle, the alchemist has become a myth in the cultivation world of the entire continent. The cultivation realm evaluates whether a sect is qualified to become a first-class sect, and to a large extent, it depends on whether the sect has a strong alchemist.
The pills that those alchemists sacrificed and refined could benefit the entire sect. Often, a powerful alchemist can raise the strength of the entire sect by one or two notches. Guo Jingshan, the head of the Xuanzong Sword Sect, is an alchemist with superior strength, not only his cultivation is amazing, but his alchemy is even more perfect. Relying on his elixir, the younger generation of the Xuanzong Sword Sect has always been in the leading position in the cultivation realm of the entire continent, and he once let an elder who had passed through the doom period in the sect open the door of immortality at the last moment and stepped into the ranks of immortal venerables. Since then, the Xuanzong Sword Sect has become the strongest sect recognized by the entire Immortal Family.
Xu Yuanqing is the eldest disciple of the head Guo Jingshan, and he also has the true inheritance of Guo Jingshan's alchemy. Although his cultivation was only in the recuperation period, his alchemy had already surpassed many Immortal-level alchemists. Mo Sang has always been an idol and flaunt for this legendary figure, and now that he has finally arrived at the Xuanzong Sword Sect, how can he miss the opportunity to make friends?
Sure enough, Su Li was finally relieved when he saw that Mo Sang heard that he was going to introduce the other party to his master, and a trace of joy appeared on his expression. The two walked towards the mountain with a smile and a smile, and Chunni didn't accompany them when she came back because she had a lot of things to do. In fact, she knew the temper of her uncle Xu Yuanqing, and he was extremely reluctant to meet others. Chunni was afraid that this strange-tempered uncle would hate her because of it, so she found an excuse to leave. After all, Su Li said that he would introduce Mo Sang to his master, but did not say that he would be with him. She also doesn't want people to think that she is the kind of person who wants to take advantage and deliberately pretends to be stupid.
The two of them walked all the way, and it didn't take long for them to reach a palace. The appearance of the main hall is extremely magnificent, the courtyard is dozens of feet high, and the entire gatehouse of the palace is supported by eight stout stone pillars. The stone pillars are also carved with extremely delicate patterns, and the imperial palace that Mo Sang once saw in the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire is as faint as a firefly under the bright moon compared to this.
On the gatehouse, there were three big characters written vigorously and vigorously, "Tushi Palace", and Su Li did not rush forward when he saw Mo Sang's distraction. He knew that people who saw this palace for the first time would be so surprised, so he smiled and didn't speak.
After watching for a long time, Mo Sang reluctantly followed Su Li in, and there was a huge medicine pod in the center of the lobby. The medicine is more than a dozen feet tall and covers a huge area. There will be a huge gossip array engraved on the furnace body, and it is the first time Mo Sang has seen this kind of giant medicine tripod. He had seen some in Taoist temples before, but none of them had this huge and shocking one.
The hall was surrounded by all kinds of medicinal herb cabinets, and the complicated names and all kinds of strange medicinal fragrances on them once again made Mo Sang intoxicated, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Alchemist is indeed a strange profession in the entire cultivation world. It's just that this bizarre architectural design is not something that normal people can understand, but it also brings out the extraordinariness of the alchemist.
Just as Mo Sang was thinking wildly, a deep voice sounded and interrupted his thoughts.
"Apprentice, why don't you come here to enlighten yourself at the bottom of the mountain? Have you forgotten your usual instructions as a teacher?"
The man was about thirty years old, and his appearance and voice were full of vicissitudes. Mo Sang heard someone talking and hurriedly saluted. Su Li was afraid that the master would blame him, and hurriedly explained.
"Master, don't blame, this is a disciple of Master Zhong Kui. Uncle Shi came to the Xuanzong Sword Sect for the first time, so the apprentice specially took Uncle Shi around for a tour, and he just walked to Master at this time and came in. Please forgive me for disturbing Master's cultivation. ”
Mo Sang stood in place and saluted Xu Yuanqing, according to his seniority, Xu Yuanqing was only his senior brother, so Mo Sang did not have too many restraints. For a person with a vision like Xu Yuanqing, the more humble you are, the more he looks down on you. Anyway, everyone's peers, it doesn't necessarily mean that I want to slap you up because of your identity as an alchemist.
After Xu Yuanqing heard the apprentice's explanation, he couldn't help but look at Mo Sanlai curiously. Mo Sang was polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant, and left a good impression on him. After looking at it for a while, Xu Yuanqing said with a smile.
"It turned out that the junior brother was here, please forgive me for the disappointment. I wonder if Uncle Shi has also returned? I happen to have something I want to ask him about. ”
