Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred and Four: Self-Defilement
On days when he doesn't go out, except for going to Qian Chao and practicing with a few companions according to the "Five Elements Spiritual Formation", Yan Xuan usually stays in his residence and works hard.
Of course, what she lives in now is no longer the original small courtyard of Qixia Mountain, since the apprenticeship, Fairy Zhong Yao has set up an exquisite attic for Yan Xuan outside her cave for her to live, and there is that Fairy Zhong Yao knows that this female disciple of hers not only has a superior fire spirit but also has great potential in alchemy, for this reason, Fairy Zhong spared no effort to create various conditions for Yan Xuan, in addition to taking Yan Xuan to meet several famous alchemy masters in Qixia Mountain to ask for guidance Yan Xuan, Fairy Zhong also arranged a fire eye for Yan Xuan outside his cave and arranged everything related to alchemy, and now Yan Xuan can complete it here in his master's cave mansion whether he chooses grass, divides grass or washes grass, or alchemy or dispenses medicine, and therefore, Yan Xuan rarely goes to Nanyutang for alchemy.
At this point, Yan Xuan is not as good as Qian Chao, there is a fire eye on the ground of Qian Chao's residence, and he can refine spiritual weapons without leaving home, but Qian Chao often goes to the Chengqi Hall to refine weapons in order to hear the various news that is circulating in the sect, and every time he finds a quiet corner, he hears the discussions of everyone in the Chengqi Hall while he is busy. Similar to Chengqi Hall, Nanyutang is also a lively place, although it is not allowed to make noise in Nanyutang, but disciples will inevitably say something when they get together, so it is also a place where news is relatively concentrated. It was precisely because Yan Xuan rarely went to Nanyutang later that she didn't hear much about what happened in Nanyutang, and even when Qian Chao heard some things about Nanyutang in Chengqi Hall, Yan Xuan still didn't know anything about it.
And the so-called Nanyutang thing is related to one person.
And this person is Qin Suiyi.
As mentioned earlier, this Qin Gongzi, who had endured a year of pain and suffering, finally relieved himself of the medicinal power of his "Zhuang Ling Dan" with his own twelve pills, and at the same time that the medicinal power that shackled his cultivation was lifted, Qin Suiyi's cultivation broke through from the second layer of qi refining to the third layer of qi refining, which of course made him cry with joy. Later, Tian Du, who was not sure of Wen Liang in his heart, once found Qin Suixu, and after a detailed discussion, the two initially reached an alliance to deal with Qian Chao together.
Even if the medicinal power of the "Zhuang Ling Pill" on his body was lifted, even if there was an alliance between him and Tian Du, Qin Suiyi's idea of continuing to fight Tang Ping was not optimistic at all.
The reason is very simple, his start is too late for Tang Ping's others.
Qin Suiyu was the first of the disciples who refined his body in Youming Valley to be sent into the sect, which looked very beautiful, but the real reason was that he reluctantly swallowed his own "Zhuang Ling Dan" under Shen Wei's persecution, the effect of this "Zhuang Ling Dan" was not too long to be lifted, in fact, the time when the medicinal power was lifted was the moment when Qin Sui Zhen really began to practice, even at that time, he was also a cultivator of the third layer of qi refining, but Tang Ping and the others had already passed the small five levels and became the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, Moreover, they had been refining the fifth layer of qi for a short period of time at that time, maybe when the cultivation of those five people would be the sixth layer of qi refining, and now it was even more difficult to chase after them.
What's more, Tang Ping's five people have now become the head of the Qi refining disciples in the sect, with this identity, those five people have done things to respond to the call in the sect, and it seems almost impossible to get Tang Ping's attention.
If someone asks Qin Suiyi now if he regrets what he did in Youming Valley, then Qin Suixu's answer must be:
No regrets!
In this Qin Gongzi's view, what makes a person is everything that the person has in the past and the examination and reflection of past successes or failures.
Although it was Shen Weiwei who attacked him in Youming Valley, he understood that he was actually defeated in the hands of Qian Chao, and it was a big defeat, almost leaving him with no strength to turn over.
But when the night was quiet, he carefully examined his past self, and Qin Suixu understood that he was actually destined to encounter such a major setback.
He is also from a famous family, with good qualifications, he has been valued by his family since he was a child, and he has been strictly trained, although he is not obvious in front of the elders in the family, but he has already given birth to disdain and contempt for his peers in his heart, it is with this arrogance and conceit that he embarked on a journey into the Five Spirits Sect, and at the same time he saw Tang Ping, he also saw Qian Chao.
What a powerful money tide, as soon as they met, he gave himself a ruthless dismount, at that time he should wake up, should pay attention to him, and be extremely careful to guard against him, but unfortunately, he didn't, which led to the end of him swallowing "Zhuang Ling Dan" later.
After a year of extremely painful suffering, Qin Suixu's mind has matured a lot, and now that he thinks about everything, he is even glad that he can suffer such a big loss so early. If he didn't continue to deal with Qian Chao's people in Youming Valley at that time, but was ready to do it after entering the sect, according to Qian Chao's mental means, I'm afraid his end would not only be to swallow the "Zhuang Ling Dan" so badly, you know, Qian Chao's means of not cultivating in Youming Valley are so clever and vicious, and after he has cultivation in the sect, it will be even more difficult to ensure what he will do to himself, and every year the disciples of the Five Spirit Sect disappear outside I don't know how many, if I didn't suffer this loss in Youming Valley, It is likely that he will disappear silently because of targeting Tang Ping.
After all, he learned from rumors that there were already quite a few people who died at the hands of Qian Chao!
This can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.
Therefore, Qin Suixu did not regret everything he had done in Youming Valley.
Well, there is another meaning in this, that is, regret is useless!
Of course, thinking about these things did not really help him in his current situation and his schemes, and in order to achieve his wish, Qin Suiyi had to continue.
And the big gap between the five people and Tang Ping in terms of cultivation made it impossible for him to deal with those five people head-on, so in order to achieve his wishes, Qin Suiyi had to continue his methods in Youming Valley......
Hide behind the scenes and let others do their part.
But this requires capital.
In Youming Valley, Qin Suiyu asked others to contribute to him by relying on nothing more than two points, the first was the name of the son of the Qin family on his head, and the second was that the people in Youming Valley at that time were either brainless and easy to control, or some brains were willing to contribute to him.
But the current situation is very different, now in the Five Spirits Sect, in terms of life background, although the Qin family he was born in is not bad, but it is basically of no use to him if he can look at his Qin family background. And almost all the people who were of great use to Qin Suiyi were disdainful of his Qin family's background.
For Qin Gongzi, this is definitely a very embarrassing situation.
However, the road is walked by people, Qin Suixu believes this, he is confident that there is a way to attract people who are useful to him to his side, but it is not without a price......
The Qin family, the reason why they became famous in the cultivation world, relied on the alchemy of the Qin family, and Qin Suixu, as a child who was trained by the Qin family since childhood, naturally has great potential in alchemy, and this alchemy is also Qin Suixu's foothold in the Five Spirits Sect and the greatest reliance on to achieve his own plans.
As mentioned earlier, after Qin Suixu got rid of the medicinal power of the "Zhuang Ling Pill", he concentrated on the art of alchemy, Qixia Mountain has its own inheritance of alchemy, coupled with what the Qin family has learned, therefore, Qin Suixu has become another Qi refining disciple who can refine the mid-level pill after Yan Xuan.
Just when Qian Chao and the others were busy dealing with Wen Liang, Qin Suixu also became famous with his frequent refining of middle-grade pills.
Of course, since Yan Xuan rarely went to Nanyutang to refine the pill again, she didn't know about this.
……
Fame is a two-sided sword, which can cut through obstacles for oneself but also hurt oneself.
Qian Chao felt this point the most, he had a reputation for refining weapons at the beginning, and then he also caused trouble because of this reputation, and a guy named Dusha bullied him into a weak cultivation and wanted to intimidate and blackmail him.
In fact, similar things have been encountered after Yan Xuan refined the mid-level elixir, but that time it was too coincidental, just when Tang Ping came to talk to Yan Xuan, at that time, Tang Ping, the little Yasha, saw that someone had the idea of beating Yan Xuan, so he stepped forward and completely solved this trouble for Yan Xuan with a slap and a scolding.
Qin Suixu was different, he needed such trouble to find him.
Speaking of alchemy, I might as well comment on Qin Suiyi and Yan Xuan, of course, just to comment on their current alchemy methods.
In terms of the success rate of alchemy, Yan Xuan is better than Qin Suiyi, but part of the reason for this is because the Dan furnace used by Yan Xuan is carefully selected and carefully refined by Qian Chao regardless of the cost, only one of the materials used in it is called "Spirit Worm Mud", Qian Chao has been looking for several years, and finally Bu Yanxuan collected it for him at a high price from the cultivation world, so the Dan furnace used by Yan Xuan is definitely the best among the Qi refining disciples in the sect, with the help of such a Dan furnace, In terms of Cheng Dan's rate, Yan Xuan defeated Qin Suixu.
However, Qin Suiyi's success rate is not low, and he doesn't have the best alchemy furnace like Yan Xuan's hand, he can only use the most ordinary Dan furnace in Nanyutang to refine pills, so it also shows that the strength of his alchemy seems to be above Yan Xuan.
The two of them are completely different in terms of their reputation in alchemy.
Yan Xuan ran into trouble soon after refining the mid-level pill for the first time, and Tang Ping solved it, and later after Yan Xuan refined the mid-level pill, he would immediately treasure it and keep it secret, not that she was worried that someone would come to entangle, but that the mid-level pill was really rare, such a good thing naturally had to be put away and put together a certain amount and then give a point to a few partners, plus later every time they went out, they could find a lot of good quality and suitable spirit grass outside, Yan Xuan's alchemy was enough, Later, the elixir she refined did not need to be handed over to Qi Xiangge first and then go to Nanyutang to exchange for spiritual grass, but were distributed to a few partners to take when they practiced, so Yan Xuan's reputation in Nanyutang gradually faded.
And Qin Suiyi is different, in order to gain fame, in order to attract the attention of some people he cares about, of course, it is also for his own practice and a large number of refining pills, as the pills are replaced by spirit grass in the Nanyutang Senior Brother Mi, Qin Suixu's name is often mentioned by the people in the Nanyutang, and soon he has a white jade gourd on his waist that marks the identity of the junior Dan Master, plus he can refine a middle-level pill from time to time, his reputation is quickly known by many people, and people are talking about it, There is another genius in the Nanyu Hall.
In the end, the trouble Qin Suiyi wanted came as he wished!
On that day, stepping on the moonlight, Qin Suiyu returned to his residence from Nanyutang, and at the door of his small courtyard, a voice called him:
"Wait, you're Qin Suixu?"
It was a man who spoke, with a bit of arrogance in his voice, but when Qin Suixuan turned to look, he saw two people, a man and a woman, the man was not very old, and his body was not tall, his face was very fair by the moonlight, and his facial features were a little human, but the arrogance on his face made people feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
And that woman is quite beautiful.
"Yes, in Xia Qin, may I ask ......"
"I'm Zu Xiang, have you heard my name?"
Well, if you still have an impression of the previous article, you may still remember this Zu Xiang, it was this guy who came to entangle Yan Xuan because of the middle-level elixir, he is the descendant of an ancestor in Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley, and he can be regarded as an unlearned and willful Hu Wei in the sect, of course, compared to the real Xuan, such as Zongfang, Huan Chan and Jing Ji and the like, it is too far behind, and he never dared to come to Yan Xuan's trouble after being slapped by Tang Ping, and now that such a long time has passed, this Zu Xiang still has not made much progress, I heard that the Nanyutang of Qixia Mountain had another mid-level pill named Qin Suiyu, so he came to him again for trouble, well, just like when he was looking for trouble with Yan Xuan, he also brought a bewitching woman with him, of course, this woman is not the original one for a long time.
"Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, your Excellency's name has never been heard of in you." Qin Suiyi said lightly, in fact, he had heard of Zu Xiang's name a little, and knew that he was a fool who could only mess around, but he deliberately said so.
Well, another one who can refine a mid-level pill without knowing his name, Zu Xiao's eyes swept around, and then continued:
"Well, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, I heard that you can refine a mid-grade pill, but is there such a thing?"
"Not bad."
"Well, that's good, how many mid-grade pills do you have, I bought them all, you can prescribe them at any price, and ...... in the future"
Zu Xiao wanted to say next, "I will also want any more mid-level pills in the future", but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Suiyi's two words.
"Not for sale."
"What?" Zu Xiao became angry, and asked in a fierce voice with a fierce face, "Say it again!" ”
Qin Suiyi deliberately slowed down and emphasized:
"I said, my mid-grade elixir is not for sale."
"You...... Do you know who I am...... Well...... Do you know who my grandfather was? ”
"I don't know."
"Elder Ancestor of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley, that's my grandfather, who offended me, do you know what will happen?"
"Hehe, it's you who came to buy the pill, and it's not the ancestor elder, I don't sell your pill, is it possible that the ancestor elder of Bibotan is going to come to Qixia Mountain to find me a qi refining disciple to ask for guilt? I don't think so......"
"You ......"
Zu Xiang's lungs are about to explode now, it is true that as Qin Suiyi said, he can't buy his middle-grade pills, but he can't even move his grandfather to support the scene for himself, and he doesn't even dare to say anything about it when he goes back.
The reason why they became gentlemen is not that their elders are willing to let them do anything wrong, but because of various reasons, those elders are either struggling with their own cultivation or trapped in the affairs of the sect, so they have relaxed the discipline of their children and grandchildren, but the things they do outside are definitely worthy of good discipline in the eyes of those elders, especially the ancestor elder of Bibo Tan, whose cultivation is at the point of urgency, where can he have the heart to take care of Zu Xiang, but if Zu Xiao does not open his eyes to touch the moldy head of the ancestor with this matter, You have to suffer from grounding.
Therefore, even if Zu Xiang is extremely angry, here and now, there is no way to take Qin Suiyu.
"Okay, okay, you wait, I'll let you know when I turn around!"
It can only be like this, Zu Xiang didn't have the courage to do anything in the sect, so he could only say a few cruel words and leave.
"Stop."
Just when Zu Xiao turned around angrily to leave with the woman, Qin Suiyi behind him called him.
"What, you've changed your mind?"
"That's not it," Qin Suiyi smiled lightly, and casually threw a small bottle to Zu Xiang, "This is for you, so as not to let you come for nothing." ”
"You're a human ......"
Zu Xiang opened the small bottle as he spoke, he was as he got, but he also had a bit of vision, and immediately understood that there was only one pill in the bottle, and that pill was not the middle-level Yangyuan Pill he wanted.
"What is this?"
"Well, it's called Shuangshengdan."
"What's the use of taking it?"
"After taking it, it is naturally beneficial." When he said this, Qin Suiyi's eyes glanced at the woman beside Zu Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, this detail was keenly captured by Zu Xiang, he seemed to understand, but he was a little hesitant.
"How do I know it's not poison?"
"Hah! If you die, I will pay for my life," Qin Suixu smiled and stretched out his hand, "If you don't want it, give it back to me." ”
Subconsciously, Zu Xiang shrank his hand and avoided Qin Suiyi's outstretched hand.
Qin Suiyu saw him enter the palace and continued:
"There are two points to be said, first, do not be greedy; Second, next time this elixir will not be given away in vain, if the ancestor still needs it, each one will cost thirty spirit stones. ”
"So expensive!"
"Hehe, Zu Gongzi will know as soon as he tries it, my elixir is definitely worth the price!"
Zu Xiao quickly pulled the woman away, while Qin Suiyi was stunned for a while, and finally sighed and walked into his small courtyard.
He lamented that in order to achieve his wish, he had to tarnish his reputation first!
