Chapter 41: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Fifteen days later, another cycle.

In addition to hard training, Chen Fu is concerned about the Yin Pavilion.

He changed his mask and appeared in the Netherworld.

The phoenix fairy still hasn't left, but the people who bought the pill are much more impetuous.

"Five!" "Ten pieces!"

The number of people who come to buy Dan is getting bigger and bigger.

"This is someone deliberately hoarding Yin Qi Pill."

"Something must have happened."

Chen Fu walked back and forth in the crowd and had already obtained a lot of information.

There is news that there is a heavenly exercise called "Yin Crane Yin" in the depths of the Yin Pavilion.

"Heavenly Exercises? However, this has nothing to do with me, all I care about is the Earth Taste Fire Aspect Method. ”

"It's a good thing for me that other people are looking at the Heavenly Exercises."

In addition, Chen Fu was concerned about whether there were other people who knew that the phoenix fairy was going down the mountain.

Otherwise, why would someone buy Yin Qi Pill in such large quantities, it was even a bit like hoarding.

"How is this familiar approach a bit like a scalper?"

Chen Fu observed the few people who bought a large number of pills, and they seemed to be faintly gathered together.

He had every reason to suspect that those people were connected to each other and were hoarding Yin Qi Pills.

After all, the Yin Qi Pill seems to only be stored for three months, and after three months, the medicinal power will be lost.

If it weren't for the fact that they knew that the Phoenix Fairy was going down the mountain, they would only smash the Yin Qi Pill in their own hands.

Another fifteen days......

Chen Fu did not go to the back mountain to observe again in the past fifteen days.

Instead, he followed Xu Daoyuan and really learned the Green Dragon Seal Method.

At the moment he should be the second fastest of the three.

However, this is not because he is not as talented as the other two.

It's just that in the past fifteen days, Chen Fu has been delayed by the affairs of the Danfang.

He has been studying alchemy for a month now.

He has now begun to learn from Ge Lao to refine the most basic healing pills.

And after he found out that the speed of refining Xiao Huan Dan to increase his proficiency was far above the copying of the Dan Sutra, he was immediately full of enthusiasm for alchemy.

Whenever Ge Lao needed to send someone to refine the pill, he would pounce on it to make a piece of the pie.

Now in the eyes of the disciples of the Danfang, Chen Fu is probably an existence like the King of Volumes.

However, how did the others know that he was preparing for refining the Yin Qi Pill in the future.

Although he has not yet mastered the Dan prescription of the Yin Qi Pill, there is always nothing wrong with improving his alchemy proficiency.

This is the benefit of the proficiency system, which is also known as "one law for all laws".

Take, for example, his medical skills, which are close to Dacheng.

No other physician, no matter how skilled he is, is only able to be proficient in the types of diseases he or she encounters on a regular basis.

Some incurable diseases can only be carefully speculated through past experience.

The skill of a particular condition ultimately comes from the treatment of a particular case.

Proficient in the treatment of all diseases, I am afraid that only the legendary medical saint can do it.

However, Chen Fu improved his ability to deal with all diseases just by copying the Medicine Sutra.

In the same way, most alchemists are only proficient in the refining of the pills they are familiar with.

There is no such thing as an alchemist, who only practices one type of pill in his life.

Then the first time you come into contact with other Danfangs, you will be able to refine them proficiently.

But for Chen Fu, as long as he refines Xiao Huan Dan, he can really increase his skills in refining all pills.

"If the alchemy level continues to increase, the success rate of my refining Yin Qi Pill will also be higher."

……

The next day, the Pavilion of the Underworld came again as scheduled.

It's just that the phoenix fairy didn't appear this time.

As he expected, the disappearance of the Phoenix Fairy caused an uproar.

However, there are still a few people who are calm and composed, and even secretly happy.

These are the people who knew the news of the Phoenix Fairy's departure in advance.

After the initial panic, it didn't take long for someone to blatantly act as a scalper.

"This is the last time I bought the Yin Qi Pill, only 15 days have passed, and the price is - 150 to contribute one!"

"150 contribute one, why don't you grab it??" Someone immediately scolded.

However, the scalper just laughed:

"If you don't buy it, I can't force it to sell."

"However, if you think about it, the phoenix fairy may not appear in the future."

"The Yin Qi Pill in my hand can only be stored for three months at most."

"If you don't buy it now, you won't have to buy it in the future."

He poured cold water down, which immediately calmed down the emotional crowd.

From this point of view, 150 contributions to one pill are indeed not expensive.

After all, no one knows how long it will take for the Phoenix Fairy to reappear.

Maybe it's next time, maybe never.

Yin Qi Pill, when the next Yin Pavilion appears, it will only get more and more expensive!

The person who originally scolded the scalper in his heart could only swallow his anger at this moment, and chose to exchange three meritorious cards for two Yin Qi Pills.

"Sure enough, most people still don't know that the true identity of the Phoenix Fairy is Ge Cizhou."

"There is no circulation between the various parishes, and I don't know much about the people in the other parishes."

"However, the disadvantages of being ill-informed are now apparent."

Chen Fu turned sideways slightly, letting the crowd pass.

Those were all people who squeezed over to buy high-priced Yin Qi Pills, and even squeezed each other for this, making them angry.

"These people are so flustered because they don't know that the phoenix fairy has only been down the mountain for four months."

Chen Fu was able to stay calm only because he knew the inside information, and he also knew some of the secrets of the Yin Qi Pill.

He can fully understand the feeling of finding out that there is a shortage of materials and then rushing to buy them.

Even a genius who can enter the Netherworld is no different from a mortal in the absence of information.

Therefore, Chen Fu was also even more glad that he knew Guo Da, and it was easier to obtain information.

"The phoenix fairy has disappeared, and it is estimated that the mountain will change again after tomorrow."

He had a hunch that after the phoenix fairy disappeared, something would happen in the back mountain.

Day 2......

Chen Fu's movements of squatting on the top of the mountain became more and more proficient.

However, when he climbed the mountain and opened the telescope, there were already two people facing each other in front of the back mountain.

He immediately became interested and took a closer look.

Both men wore masks and dressed in black, except that one wore an eagle's beak mask and the other wore an ape mask.

The two were a little stunned when they met, and they were keeping a distance from each other.

They probably didn't expect that there were people who had the same idea as themselves.

And I actually met in the back mountain at the same time as myself.

"That old brother's injuries healed, so quickly."

Chen Fu saw the familiar man in black wearing an eagle's beak mask and thought.

This olecrasmuak mask man is obviously the unlucky guy who was bitten by the black snake during the previous yin tide.

The two stood in place, neither daring to show aggression, but also not daring to show cowardice.

The two men stood there for about two quarters of an hour.

Until finally, when the two seemed to be about to reach an agreement, there was a change again.

A third man suddenly emerged from the nearby woods.

This third person wears an owl iron mask, and his skills are far above the two.

As soon as he made a move, he directly grabbed the two of them, and Chen Fu estimated that he had at least four lives or so.

Faced with such a huge disparity in strength, the two who were originally facing each other immediately relented.

And the Hawksbill Mask Man was even more pressed to ask alone, and it seemed that he finally said a way to catch the black snake.

"Old bad luck." Chen Fu looked at the miserable situation of the Olecranon Mask Man and complained silently.

A moment later, Chen Fu had already seen the owl masked man start to worship blood food and catch the black snake.

"Sure enough, when the yin tide comes, it is the most dangerous time in the back mountain."

Chen Fu clearly saw that after the man cut his fingers, only a dozen black snakes surrounded him.

The danger was completely different from what he saw when the tide fell.

After capturing the Black Snake, the owl-masked man hadn't left.

He didn't know what the hidden technique was, and it was almost integrated with the dense forest.

Later, two or three people came to the back mountain, but I don't know if the situation is a person who is not familiar with alchemy.

However, even so, the person who came was directly captured by the owl masked man.

Even the masks of the comers were forcibly removed, revealing the lineup behind them.

This kind of drama lasted all day, and Chen Fu was a little tired of watching it.

His only thoughts were:

"Even if the top predator of the food chain leaves, new predators will emerge."

"This is true in nature as it is in human society."

"It's a cruel world."

It is conceivable that the man will definitely guard the back mountain to avoid other people getting a piece of the pie.

The only window period after the phoenix fairy left was also blocked.

"Now my only chance is to catch the black snake when the yin tide appears."

"Mastering the secret of green and jade, the most dangerous moment for others, is the safest moment for me."

"However, we still need to wait and see for a while to see if that person has the ability to deal with the yin tide."
