Chapter Thirty-Four: I Am Lucky to Have Gained, Lost My Life!

The heat wave in the alchemy room was rolling, and the little old man pulled Lin Junxuan to the side of the huge copper furnace, pointed to the two huge red spars made of golden dragon eyes at the bottom of the copper furnace and said: "In the future, you will follow me to make alchemy, the work is very simple, press your hand on these two spars every day, and keep inputting 'essence' into them, and when I say you can go, you can go." ”

"What else?" asked Lin Junxuan.

"No," the little old man shook his head, "don't talk nonsense, let's start now." ”

After picking up a thin ball, the little old man threw it at Lin Junxuan's feet: "This is for you, it will be more comfortable to sit like this." By the way, the pills and books in the Dan study, without my permission, you are forbidden to touch them!"

Hearing this, Lin Junxuan finally understood that the little old man hadn't thought about teaching anyone alchemy at all.

Lin Junxuan smiled in his heart, and he didn't care, he didn't expect the little old man to teach him 'alchemy'. The so-called 'I am fortunate to get it, but I lose my life', Lin Junxuan is familiar with the Confucian classics and has long been deeply involved in the samadhi.

Putting down the futon, Lin Junxuan sat down cross-legged, stretched out two palms and pressed them on the red spar under the surprised gaze of the little old man, and then channeled the 'essence' in his body into the red spar.

"This kid...... Interesting. I thought he would argue a few words, but I didn't expect to underestimate him. The little old man looked at Lin Junxuan in surprise, his eyes rolled up and down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the little old man's brows moved, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "I know." This kid is thinking hard and throwing off his means, he thinks that as long as he behaves well, I will teach him the real alchemy in a few days, hehe, you would be wrong if you think so. Well, though, I don't need to say anything, I'll see how he reacts in a few dozen days. ”

......

'Whew!'

The 'essence' had just entered the spar, and in the aperture at the top of the copper furnace, the tongues of fire rose several zhang high, and some of the tongues of fire rolled downward, almost rolling to Lin Junxuan. The alchemy furnace was several times hotter at once, and inside the copper furnace, the sound of 'whirring' wind and fire was non-stop.

Hearing the sound of flames 'whirring' in the copper furnace, the little old man also came back to his senses. As soon as the body jumped, he jumped to the copper furnace, touched it on the copper furnace, pulled the 'Qiang', will uncover a heavy copper furnace cover, and quickly walked to the corner, the little old man picked up an iron pull to shovel a black musk material in the corner into the copper furnace, after a while, closed the lid, the little old man kept putting all kinds of medicinal materials into the copper furnace, he always stood by the copper furnace with a serious face for a while, and then after a while, he felt the need to add another material to the copper furnace, and the amount of each material was not much.

"The fire can't be bigger, now the 'essence' input is a little smaller...... Smaller......" The little old man stood by the copper stove and kept giving orders.

"The fire is too small, speed up the input of 'energy'......" After a while, the little old man shouted again.

The little old man's orders continued one after another, for a while he was too angry, and for a while he was too angry, and so on, but fortunately, Lin Junxuan was not angry, and did what he said one by one, and he didn't bother with him.

But the little old man was not always like this, sometimes he would run into Dan's study, take out a book, while turning the pages of the book, occasionally stop, pinch the magic tricks, and slapped the recipes into the Dan furnace......

The alchemy room is getting hotter and hotter, and although the 'essence' in Lin Junxuan's body is cool, it will be a little unbearable, and dense beads of sweat generally drip down from his forehead. It had been a few hours, but the little old man had no intention of stopping.

"I promised my uncle and ancestor, so I naturally want to persevere. Lin Junxuan thought in his heart, but after a long time, Lin Junxuan also felt that something was starting to be inappropriate. Lin Junxuan didn't eat in the morning, count the time, it's already past the time to eat, usually he should have felt hungry at this time, but Lin Junxuan didn't even feel hungry at all.

"Uncle Shi, can I take a break now? I want to go and eat something. Lin Junxuan turned back to Kan and said.

"Eat?" The little old man looked surprised, touched his chin with one hand, and said with puzzlement: "You have eaten one of my Bigu Dan, it stands to reason that you shouldn't feel hungry!

"Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Lin Junxuan said with a smile, he originally suspected that this matter had something to do with the little old man, so he took retreat as advance, and tried to turn it over, but he didn't expect that it was really the little old man's hands and feet.

"Haha," the little old man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Boy, you are really smart, you actually let you try it out!" was recognized, and the little old man did not feel embarrassed at all.

If you swallow one pill of 'Bigudan', you won't feel hungry for a day. The brown pill that Lin Junxuan swallowed was 'Bigu Dan'. The little old man didn't mean much to give Lin Junxuan this kind of Dan. He wanted to make use of Lin Junxuan's meal time and use it all for him to make alchemy.

Listening to Kan Ion say it so calmly, Lin Junxuan was relieved in his heart. He smiled and continued to input 'essence' into the copper furnace. After the alchemy was on the right track, the little old man also became busy.

Before you know it, the sky is dark and the night is deep.

"Okay, Jun Xuan, that's all for today, you can come back in a few days. At last, the little old man spoke.

Hearing the little old man's words, Lin Junxuan finally came back to his senses from the simple work of transporting 'essence'. As soon as he came back to his senses, Lin Junxuan was startled, the 'essence' in his body had been exhausted, although his hands were still on the red spar, the 'essence' that could be output had changed from 'torrent' to 'hair' - the alchemy consumption was so huge that the 'mana' in his body for twenty years was not enough!!

"How could this be, the 'essence qi' was consumed so much, and I didn't actually feel anything!" Usually the 'essence qi' was too depleted, and cultivators would feel weak and fatigued, but Lin Junxuan didn't feel anything now. Lin Junxuan raised his head and looked at the little old man in shock, vaguely knowing in his heart that it was the little old man who made a move.

Being looked at by Lin Junxuan, the little old man also felt a little embarrassed, don't look over, don't dare to look at Lin Junxuan: "Another pill is 'Dispelling Deficiency Pill', which can make people not feel tired and weak, but it is all temporary." Well, it's late at night, so let's go back quickly. In addition, after you go back, remember to practice quickly and replenish your 'essence'!"

Lin Junxuan was helpless and funny in his heart, he came once every four days, and the little old man actually wanted to squeeze his energy for four days in one day. Did he think he wouldn't come next time?

"Uncle Shi, then I'll go first. Lin Junxuan stood up and said.

"Well, go ahead. The little old man turned sideways, not looking at Lin Junxuan's gaze. Lin Junxuan didn't care, he walked out of the big side hall, passed through the main hall, and walked out.

The sky was full of stars outside, Lin Junxuan looked up at the sky, and estimated in his heart that it should be past the time of the child, and it was close to the ugly time (two o'clock in the evening), and the dining room was closed early at this time, and there was nothing to eat when he returned to the mountain. The effect of the 'Bigu Dan' medicine is only one day, and at this time, Lin Junxuan is already feeling a little hungry, and this hunger is getting stronger and stronger.

"Forget it, go pick a few peaches to satisfy your hunger!" After identifying the direction, Lin Junxuan walked in the direction of Rotten Peach Mountain.

"Who!-" Before he got close to Rotten Peach Mountain, a cold shout came from a distance: "Hey, Jun Xuan is you? It's so late, why didn't you go back to your room to rest, but you ran here." Under the fence, a silver-haired old Taoist sat at the gate of Rotten Peach Mountain, his eyes were like stars in the sky, even the darkness could not hide it.

Rotten Peach Mountain has also come many times, Lin Junxuan is very familiar with this uncle and ancestor, and he also knows his title of 'Tianxinzi' in the sect. At this time, when he heard the 'Tianxinzi' uncle ask about the reason why he came so late, Lin Junxuan didn't feel a little arrogant.

"Back to my uncle and ancestor, Jun Xuan practiced Dan in the Kanli Palace for a day, and he didn't come back until now. It was too late, and the dining room in the sect was closed, so I was a little hungry, so I ......"

"Hahaha......" Tianxinzi laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that this is how I came back, come, I'll pick some peaches for you to eat." With a wave of dust in his hand, only the leaves could be heard shaking in the dark rotten peach mountain, and a few peaches bigger than a palm flew up from the tree, stacked together and fell into the hands of Lao Dao.

"Here, let's eat first. Tianxinzi handed the peach over.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi. "The effectiveness of 'Bigu Dan' has become weaker and weaker, and once the effect of this pill has passed, it will make people feel even more hungry. Lin Junxuan had already heard the 'cooing' sound in his stomach at this time, and he was no longer polite at the moment, took a peach, and chewed it.

"Hehe, don't worry, eat slowly. Tianxinzi stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes full of kindness.

After eating a peach, Lin Junxuan felt that the hunger in his stomach was better, wiped his mouth, and said: "Uncle Shi, thank you for the peach, it's late at night, I'll go back to the mountain first, and I'll come to visit you tomorrow." ”

"Wait a minute," Tian Xinzi smiled and handed over another peach in his hand: "I also know that Kan Ion's 'Bigu Dan' is not a real food after all. After a while, you will still feel hungry, so take this peach back to the mountains and eat it. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi. Lin Junxuan heard Tianxinzi say that he would feel hungry in the future, so he simply took it: "Uncle Shi, I'll go first." ”

"Well, when you return to the mountain, remember to start practicing immediately, and there will be unexpected results. Tianxinzi said with great meaning. Lin Junxuan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I know." ”

The sky is full of stars, the forest is clean, after eating a peach, Lin Junxuan only felt very refreshed in his heart, and there was a kind of cheerful and happy mood. Lin Junxuan walked forward along the stone steps and paths between the trees, walking more than twenty steps, probably because of the comfort in his heart, Lin Junxuan suddenly turned around, and asked the ghost: "Uncle Shi, do you know a person named 'Wu Chengen'?"

Not far away, Tianxinzi looked at him in a daze, and Lin Junxuan secretly screamed in his heart. He had always had a question in his heart, did Wu Chengen ever go to Fangcun Sect? But he never dared to ask, after all, Wu Chengen was a figure more than 400 years ago, how could he know a person more than 400 years ago? As soon as this question entered his heart, he just turned this thought in his heart, and somehow he actually asked it out of a ghost.
