Volume 1 The Elephant of Heaven and Earth Chapter 37 The Quest Begins
After sending Zhao Desheng away, Liang Cheng had already made a decision, and since he couldn't find the materials for refining the formation at the moment, he had to put it down for the time being and turn to practice talisman making. In the way of talisman making, Liang Cheng has never received any guidance, and he lacks classics to refer to, so he focuses on skilled skills, refining a large number of talismans that are close to the level of the foundation building period, and then taking them to the market to sell and earn spirit stones. Refining this kind of talisman was too simple for Liang Cheng, so he spent very little time in a day making talismans, and he felt that the efficiency was not high enough.
So Liang Cheng also began to practice the Dan Dao in the Tiangong Qiaoyi Pearl, and soon studied the basic kung fu of alchemy and the various experiences taught by the Taiqing Old Dao, and several Dan prescriptions in his hand were also repeatedly refined, but he refined a lot of pills suitable for the Qi refining period, such as the Qi Gathering Pill and Pei Yuan Dan, and the success rate was extremely high. Later, in the Fang market, I found a Danfang suitable for the foundation building period, and it was also handy to refine, and it was also regarded as an extraordinary skill on the Dan Road.
Since Liang Cheng was gifted with superior spiritual roots and his cultivation speed was extremely fast, Shi Meng told Liang Cheng that it was best to take less or even no pills, so that in the future, if he encountered a real cultivation bottleneck, then taking pills and pills would have a miraculous effect.
Because Liang Cheng was unwilling to expose that he had such a treasure as the Heavenly Crafts Skill Bead, and that he was good at the formation, this time he was almost exposed before Luo Sanjie and others, and if the talisman was refined, he would have to sell it, and then take out the pill to sell, it would be too eye-catching, so he refined a storage bag of pills, although he didn't take it, he didn't dare to sell it, he occupied a position in vain, and he had to buy raw materials to consume spirit stones, Liang Cheng was also quite depressed when he thought about it.
Soon the reputation of the talisman made by Liang Cheng began, and under the introduction of the Luo brothers, the shopkeeper of the Zhenyuan Pavilion keenly discovered the business opportunities and personally visited Liang Cheng, saying that the Zhenyuan Pavilion was willing to provide Liang Cheng with talisman materials for free, and then underwrote the talisman made by Liang Cheng, and the profits were divided fifty-fifty. Liang Cheng has no profit, but also saves a lot of trouble, naturally agreed, the next nearly a year, the two sides cooperate happily, with Liang Cheng's various colors of talisman sales, Liang Cheng has earned a large amount of spirit stones, the purse is getting fuller and fuller, the shopkeeper of Zhenyuan Pavilion is also extremely profitable, often in his sleep are flowing with a smile to wake up.
Liang Cheng had a good time when he was cultivating and earning spirit stones, but on this day, he received a message from the three ancestors, calling all the disciples who participated in the sect's mission to go to Anpu Island, the entrance and exit portal of the sect, to gather and standby, Liang Cheng knew that the long-prepared task was about to begin, so he packed his bags and came to Anpu Island to report with a sense of anxiety and a little excitement.
Although Anpu Island is far away from the main island of Yunyin, each island is equipped with teleportation arrays, and it is extremely convenient and fast to travel back and forth, Liang Cheng came early and was brought into a hall to wait. I just entered the door, but I saw that there were already many disciples sitting in the hall, but there were two acquaintances, one was Senior Brother Zhao Desheng, and the other was Li Zilong, Liang Cheng and Zhao Desheng nodded to each other, walked to Li Zilong's side, and asked: "Brother Zilong, it turns out that you also participated in this mission?" Li Zilong replied: "Well, yes, I signed up for this mission with the Luo family brothers a few years ago, but for some reason, the third ancestor and his old man didn't want the Luo family brothers, and left me alone." Liang Cheng's heart moved, the Luo family brothers cultivated to a high level, they were real elite disciples, but they were forbidden to participate, which was not meant to protect, it can be seen that this task may be very dangerous, and he couldn't help but secretly raise his vigilance, lest he inexplicably become cannon fodder and not know it.
While he was thinking wildly, there were more than a dozen men and women in the hall, and only one of them was a familiar face, it was Yuanshan who he had seen in the Flying Dragon War before, and the rest didn't know any of them. Liang Cheng counted the number of people, and connected himself to exactly thirty people, it seems that everyone should be here.
Sure enough, after a while, a familiar figure walked in, and I saw that this old man had sparse hair, was wearing a half-worn gray robe, and had a medicine box on his back, but he was not too old-fashioned. Taiqing walked in front of everyone, and the hall suddenly fell silent, Taiqing glanced at the circle of disciples with his eyes majestically, and said, "Girls and boys, do you still recognize me?" A few familiar disciples also raised their voices and said: "Uncle Taiqing, your old man is a famous Dan Dao master in the sect, who wouldn't recognize him, why is he dressed like this? Isn't it going out to collect medicine again?" Taiqing smiled and said: "Silly boy, what kind of medicine do I still pick now?" The Third Ancestor ordered me to escort you to the inland to participate in the mission, in order to avoid attracting attention and unnecessary trouble, everyone must listen to my arrangement, the first order is - change clothes!" After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several boys came in with large bags of clothes and other items.
So everyone untied their clothes, changed out of their sect-colored clothes, took the clothes handed by the boy, and put them on. After that, he took the medicine picking shovel, carried the medicine basket, looked at each other, and became a group of medicine picking boys and boys.
Taiqing stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, everyone listen, your current identity is the medicine boy sent by the Infinite View of Hundred Medicine Gardens to collect medicine with me, and now it is divided into five teams, each team of six people, by Yuan Shan, Zhao Desheng, Li Zilong, Yu Qingyuan, Liang Cheng, these six disciples who know the road and have entered Yunmen Shanfang City are the captains, and now start to form their own teams, and set off in batches after finishing the matter, and rush to Yunmen Shanfang City to meet within three days. β
After everyone answered, they were free to combine, Zhao Desheng smiled at Liang Cheng: "I was supposed to be in the same team with my junior brother, but my junior brother was young and promising, and he became the captain of the team, so he had to separate, and he had a chance to be together in the future." Li Zilong also smiled at Liang Cheng from afar, shrugging his shoulders to express helplessness.
Not long after, the team was assembled, and the disciples formed four teams around the seemingly reliable captain according to their own popularity or wishes, in line with the principle of joining forces, and Liang Cheng didn't recognize any of the team members, so they had to let them go, anyway, people from other teams would come to their own team. After the group, I saw that except for myself, who were all senior sisters and sisters, there were five female disciples in the group, and for a while, the fat ring and thin swallow surrounded me.
Seeing this, Yuan Shan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liang, you can do it, you will build a women's army in an instant." Immediately, many disciples in the hall laughed. Liang Cheng said sullenly: "You look handsome, blame me." "That's right, Senior Brother Liang is better than you!" "What's so great about you people, Senior Brother Liang, we can trust you." The warblers and Yanyan of Liang Cheng's team began to chirp in support of their captain.
"Okay, let's set off in batches after the team is formed! Remember, each team will go separately, don't reveal the identity of your sect after entering the inland, and meet at the Juxianlou Inn in Yunmen Shanfang City three days later, there must be no mistake!" Taiqing Lao Dao waved his hand, and the teams set off on the road one after another.
Half an hour later, Liang Cheng carried the medicine basket on his back, led his own women's army team, each drove the wind leaves, and the second group set off to leave Anpu Island. Looking at the undulating sea, Liang Cheng recalled the situation of returning to the sect with Taiqing, a few years have passed, and the scenery along the way is still the same, so he still flies slowly to the mainland according to the route he once walked.
More than half an hour has passed, and the continental line can be faintly seen in the sky, and it is about to land. At this time, Liang Cheng remembered that none of the people in his team knew him, so he asked for his surname, and he was embarrassed to ask his maiden name or anything, anyway, he knew the surname, and if he looked older than himself, he was called Senior Sister, and the younger one was called Senior Sister. When asked about the surname of the youngest junior sister in the team, the little junior sister replied crisply: "My name is Xing Yuying, please give me more advice!"
The eldest senior sister in the team is surnamed Liu, about twenty-four or five, with a bold personality, along the way, she has always been very interested in Liang Cheng, and she keeps asking this and that: "Senior Brother Liang, I heard that you are from the Infinite View in the southwest of the interior, this time Senior Uncle Taiqing once mentioned that we are the medicine children pretending to be the Hundred Medicine Gardens of the Infinite Temple, I wonder if this is related to our mission, do you know?"
"Senior Sister Liu, I really don't know about this, I think let's hurry first, anyway, when we meet in Yunmen Shanfang City, Uncle Shi will naturally explain. Liang Cheng was a little embarrassed by Senior Sister Liu's talkative all the way, and asked and answered, are all women so verbose?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, then Senior Brother Liang, how old are you this year? What do you like to do on weekdays? Do you have a favorite Taoist couple? Do you want Senior Sister to introduce you to one? What type do you like?" When the senior sisters on the side heard this gossip topic, they couldn't put it down, and they interjected one after another, asking non-stop, and Liang Cheng suddenly felt tired of parrying.
"Ah, yes, no, that, I'm very bored, and I still like to be alone. Liang Cheng hurriedly excused himself.
"How can this work? Don't be sloppy, and tell the truth and you won't die. The senior sisters and sisters persevered, asking questions again and again, and before they knew it, time had passed, and the team had reached the shore.
Liang Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said in his heart that this gossip girl army seemed to be more difficult to deal with than demon beasts, and at this time, Shi Meng chuckled from his sense: "Brother Cheng, how does it feel to be a flower protector?"
"you, stay put. Liang Cheng replied angrily, while paying attention to the terrain, he saw that the landing coast looked a little different, it was a little different from the last time he came, but it didn't look very far from Yunmen Shanfang City.
Now that they have arrived on land, the girls don't dare to be careless, so they picked up the mood of laughing at Liang Cheng, became serious, and looked at the captain Liang Cheng to see what he thought. Liang Cheng thought about it for a while, and felt that Fang City was not far away, if he hurried up, he could reach it today, but the meeting time agreed by Taiqing was three days, and it was too early to go, and it was troublesome to have many people in Fang City, so it was better to walk slowly, and really go to the mountains to collect some medicinal materials, which was also a kind of experience, and when the time was almost up, he would go to Fang City again, and he would not delay anything. So when I told the women about this meaning, everyone had no objection.
Liang Cheng led the team to walk slowly in the deep mountains, everyone is a monk in the foundation building period, the lowest cultivation of Senior Sister Xing is in the early stage of foundation building, the rest of the five people except for Senior Sister Liu, a late stage, the others are all in the middle stage, it is also a strong team, ordinary beasts or even low-level demon beasts and people from small sects can not afford to provoke, so they didn't encounter any trouble all the way, it feels like an outing and walking in the green leisurely, a few smaller junior sisters have probably never left the open sea, this is the first time to enter the mountain, the mood is very happy, pick a lot of wild flowers to make a few corollas to wear on their heads, all the way to smileγ
Liang Cheng was in a very happy mood, and a flower crown carefully woven by the sisters was also placed on his head, and the sunshade effect was quite good. Thinking that he had been immersed in cultivation for several years, and now it was also a rare opportunity to relax here, watching a few senior sisters and sisters frolicking lightly in the grass and flowers, Liang Cheng found the relaxed feeling of a long-lost mortal life, and he had a faint feeling in his heart.
Walking slowly all the way, Liang Cheng found an ordinary medicinal material, so he squatted down and gently excavated with a medicine shovel, and after digging out, he saw that this medicinal material was more than a foot long, with thick rhizomes, long and narrow leaves, and some small light blue flowers.
"This medicinal herb is called Yuanzhi, right?" Liang Cheng heard a soft female voice in his ears, and when he looked up, it was the youngest junior sister Xing Yuying standing beside him, reaching out and handing over a few small wild strawberries, and said, "Senior Brother Liang, give you a taste of this, it's delicious." β
"It turns out that the junior sister also knows how to distinguish medicinal herbs. Liang Cheng took the wild strawberry and felt sweet and sour when he bit into it.
Xing Yuying smiled lightly: "My aunt runs a medicinal herb shop in Zongmenfang City, and I often go there to play in my spare time, so I happen to know some medicinal herbs, I don't know much about them, but I can't compare to Senior Brother Liang, and I ask Senior Brother for more advice." β
Liang Cheng was also infected from Ah Shen, and when he talked about medicinal materials, he was happy and talkative, so he began to instill pharmacological knowledge in Senior Sister Xing. After talking for a while, I found that the whole team came over to listen to me talk about medicinal materials, and looked at me with adoring eyes one by one, and I didn't feel a little blushing. So he waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, let's prepare for dinner when it's late, I'll go get some game to barbecue." β
"Wow, yes, it's been a long time since we've eaten, let's make a fire. So everyone got busy.
Liang Cheng unfolded his body, crossed the mountains and mountains, and with the skills of the middle stage of building the foundation, he hit a mountain boar after a while, and after slaughtering, he took it to the mountain spring to wash and peel it, and came back to hand it over to the women's army.
It didn't take long for the fragrant roasted wild boar meat to come out, so Liang Cheng's food team began to feast, drink wine and eat meat, and happily spent the first day on the island.
