Chapter 52: Tsukidan arrives
Although the Zhuji Pill is a third-order lower-grade elixir, it is extremely difficult to refine, and the alchemy of the fourth-order middle-grade alchemy of the ancestor of the Chen family also needs to be careful and takes nine days to complete.
After nine days passed, after the elixir was baked, Zhou Minghan and other foundation-building monks who had been waiting outside the White Hump Mountain for a long time immediately received an invitation from the ancestor of the Chen family and entered the Chen family ancestor cave on the white hump.
"Fellow Daoists, please, this time the furnace was opened for alchemy, and the old man was fortunate to live up to his life, and he successfully produced six pills!"
In the reception room of the cave mansion, after the ancestor of the Chen family waited for Zhou Minghan and others to come, he didn't say any nonsense, and said the issues that everyone was most concerned about.
It can be seen that when the ancestor of the Chen family said "six pieces of Dan", the faces of the dozen or so foundation building monks who came to the meeting showed extreme surprise on their faces.
Zhuji Dan is difficult to refine, everyone knows this, in the past, the ancestors of the Chen family opened the furnace to refine Zhuji Dan, and the number of Cheng Dan was more than four to five, but this time there were six Dan, which is really a great joy worth celebrating.
"Congratulations to the ancestor for his great alchemy! Six pills at a time, this is something that only a fourth-order high-grade alchemist can do, that is, in the Huangsha Gate, there is only one alchemist of this level, and the ancestor is really a genius of the heavens, the posture of heaven and man!"
Zhou Minghan's face flashed with joy, and he came back to his senses for the first time, and hurriedly saluted and loudly congratulated the Chen family's ancestor on his great progress in alchemy.
Hearing his words, the others also came back to their senses from the surprise, and while secretly scolding Zhou Minghan for being cunning, they also hurriedly followed the salute to congratulate.
"Hehehe, Ming Han Liao praised, although the old man is a little confident in his alchemy, he still doesn't deserve Ming Han's praise, and if it weren't for Ming Han, you used a strange treasure to sneak attack this time, weakening the strength of that fourth-order demon beast, I'm afraid that some of us will fall under the beast's dying counterattack!"
The ancestor of the Chen family smiled, and said Liao Zan in his mouth, but his face showed a look of usefulness, obviously Zhou Minghan's compliment just spared his itch.
Just like Zhou Minghan said, there is only one fourth-order high-grade alchemist, even Huangshamen, and in this boundless sea of sand, the status of such an alchemist is no longer below that of ordinary Jindan stage monks.
And when he was happy, he deliberately pointed out Zhou Minghan's merits in reciprocating the favor, implying that he had not forgotten the agreement he had promised before.
Sure enough, hearing the words of the ancestor of the Chen family, Zhou Minghan certainly showed a relaxed smile, but the other foundation building monks frowned, and secretly cursed Zhou Minghan for taking shit luck, envy and jealousy in their hearts.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, according to the previous agreement, my Chen family will take half of the six Zhuji Dan, and the remaining three Zhuji Dan, the Zhou family can take one as long as they pay 20,000 spirit stones, and the last two If you want it, you will give the old man a quotation, everything will be done according to the old rules, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”
The ancestor of the Chen family swept his gaze over the group of foundation building monks with different complexions, and directly said the distribution method with a flat face.
Out of the Dan six, his Chen family divided half of the three, if he was lucky, he could just make up for the three fallen foundation building monks on Jinxia Mountain, so after much thought, he decided to abide by the agreement and distribute it according to the agreement.
"Ancestor is grateful, the Zhou family is grateful, this is 20,000 spirit stones, and I also ask the ancestor to accept it. ”
Zhou Minghan waited for this time, and as soon as the Chen family ancestor's words fell, he excitedly took out a storage bag full of spirit stones and handed it over, which contained 20,000 spirit stones that had been prepared a long time ago.
Under normal circumstances, the price of a Tsukidan is around 10,000 spirit stones, but the situation in the boundless sand sea is special, and only a few people can refine the Tsukidan, so it is common for the price to double or double.
The Zhou family only needs to produce 20,000 spirit stones this time to get a Zhuji Dan, which is definitely a big profit!
"Okay, since you've been prepared, this Tsukidan is yours. ”
The ancestor of the Chen family swept the storage bag handed over by Zhou Minghan, and after confirming that the number of spirit stones in it was correct, with a wave of his hand, a jade bottle containing Zhuji Dan flew into Zhou Minghan's hand.
"Thank you Ancestor, the younger generation's wish has been fulfilled, so I will retire first. ”
Zhou Minghan took the jade bottle with both hands, put it in the storage bag without looking at it, and then said goodbye, and hurriedly left the cave under the envious and jealous eyes of the other foundation building monks.
After he left the cave mansion of the ancestor of the Chen family, he immediately sent out a transmission note to ask Zhou Yang to come over to the white hump, and he went to find a good relationship with the Chen family foundation monk, and prepared to let Zhou Yang retreat and build the foundation in the cave mansion of the Chen family foundation monk.
Zhou Yang also knew what day it was, and as soon as he received the message from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he immediately set off for the White Hump.
When he came to the foot of the white hump, he saw the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and an unknown Chen family foundation monk waiting here.
"Brother Pingzhi, the old man will introduce to you, this is Zhou Yang, the descendant of my Zhou family who took Zhuji Dan this time, although he is a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, he is quite talented in cultivation, he broke through to the ninth layer of qi training in his thirties, and he is also a second-order high-grade refiner, the old man's alchemy will have to rely on him to inherit it in the future. ”
Seeing Zhou Yang's arrival, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan introduced his juniors to his friends in cyan robes with a smile, and greeted Zhou Yang: "Xiao Jiu, you also come over to meet Brother Pingzhi, the old man and Brother Pingzhi have been friends for more than 70 years, and you must treat him with the same respect as the old man." ”
"The junior Zhou Yang, I have seen Senior Chen, and I will ask my seniors to take care of me in the future. ”
Zhou Yang respectfully bowed to the middle-aged Taoist priest in the green robe named Chen Pingzhi in front of him, and did enough to salute.
Seeing this, Chen Pingzhi waved his hand, and with a gentle force, he helped Zhou Yang up, and then looked at him and said with a smile: "Hehehe, I have been friends with Brother Minghan for nearly seventy years, but it is rare to see him praise a junior so much, which shows his love for Xiaoyou!"
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows again, and continued with a hint of surprise on his face: "However, Xiaoyou can cultivate to the ninth level of qi cultivation in his thirties, and he can also raise the alchemy technique to the second-order upper grade, this kind of achievement is that I can't find a peer who can compare with you in my Chen family, no wonder Brother Minghan did not hesitate to pull down the lower layer for the sake of building your foundation, and specially asked me to ensure that you go up the mountain." ”
When Zhou Minghan heard this, he couldn't help but say loudly: "This matter will trouble Brother Pingzhi." ”
"Brother Minghan, don't worry, you and I have been friends for more than 70 years, of course I have to help with this favor, let's go, let's go up the mountain to my cave. ”
Chen Pingzhi remembered the benefits that Zhou Minghan promised him, and his heart was also hot, and he responded with a smile.
Friendship also needs to be managed, although he and Zhou Minghan have been friends for 70 years and have fought side by side many times, but there is a good saying, brothers have to settle accounts!
If Zhou Minghan hadn't promised him a benefit, he might not have been willing to lend the cave mansion to a junior of the Zhou family to retreat and build a foundation, after all, in a sense, if the Zhou family has an extra foundation building monk, it may be an additional threat to the Chen family in the future.
Chen Pingzhi, as a monk of the Chen family's foundation building period, the location of his cave mansion on the white hump is naturally very good, and the aura inside is so rich that it has already produced a slight mist of aura.
This kind of place with rich spiritual energy is no longer suitable for Qi cultivation period monks to practice, because the spiritual energy here is too strong, and if Qi cultivation period monks meditate and practice here, it is easy to absorb excessive spiritual energy and hurt the meridians.
However, for a monk like Zhou Yang, whose cultivation stayed at the ninth level of qi cultivation and could not advance an inch, no matter how rich the aura here was, he did not need to absorb and refine, so naturally he did not have to worry about hurting himself.
"The fourth-order spiritual vein is really extraordinary, Xiao Jiu, you can build a foundation here, it can be regarded as a big opportunity, when you build a foundation and successfully accept the spiritual energy infusion, with the help of the abundant spiritual energy here, you can save at least a year of hard work!"
Although it was not the first time that Zhou Minghan had visited Chen Pingzhi's cave mansion, when he visited again, he still couldn't help but be amazed by the cultivation environment here.
If he could also practice on this fourth-order spiritual vein with a strong aura for a long time, he would definitely have broken through to the eighth layer of foundation building or even the ninth layer of foundation building, so that with his age, there would be another chance to hit the Purple Mansion stage.
It's a pity that the number of fourth-order spiritual veins is scarce, not to mention, without the cultivation of the Purple Mansion Period, even if he occupies the fourth-order spiritual veins, he can't keep this kind of spiritual land, and he can only envy it.
When Chen Pingzhi heard this old friend's words, his face couldn't help but show a touch of triumph, in fact, it was not said that it was a small family foundation building monk like the Zhou family, or a big foundation building monk like Huangshamen, and not everyone could open a cave at the spiritual energy node of the fourth-order spiritual vein.
After all, although there are many spiritual veins in the Huangsha Gate, each fourth-order spiritual vein is occupied by a Purple Mansion Stage monk, for these Purple Mansion Stage monks who occupy the spiritual veins, unless they are their own disciples or friends, they will definitely not allow other foundation building monks to open a cave at the spiritual vein node, even if it is the same sect.
Only in an immortal cultivation family like the Chen family, where everyone has the same bloodline, will the Purple Mansion Stage monks be willing to share the fourth-order spiritual veins with the foundation building monks of the whole clan, and bring these family descendants for free.
But to be proud, what should be said still has to be said.
I saw Chen Pingzhi have a smug look on his face, and suddenly looked at the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhou family with a straight face and said: "Brother Minghan, Zhou Yang Xiaoyou, Chen told you in advance, this cave retreat room can be temporarily lent to Zhou Yang Xiaoyou for your foundation retreat, but in other places, Chen has already laid a formation ban, and please don't break in, otherwise something will happen, don't blame Chen for not reminding the two in advance." ”
"Please rest assured that Senior Chen is practicing in the retreat room and will not go anywhere. ”
Zhou Yang also knew the severity, and even if he took a serious position, he responded.
Zhou Minghan also nodded and said, "Brother Pingzhi, don't worry, the old man can also guarantee Xiao Jiu in this matter." ”
Now that both of them understood, Chen opened the retreat room. ”
Chen Pingzhi said as he spoke, pinching a law decision in his hand, and after a rumbling sound, the stone door of the retreat room in the depths of the cave opened.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghan also raised his hand, took out the jade bottle containing Zhuji Dan and handed it to Zhou Yang: "Zhuji Dan is in the jade bottle, Xiao Jiu, you go in, the old man and Brother Pingzhi are waiting for your good news outside the cave." ”
"Rest assured great-grandfather, your grandson will not let you down!"
Zhou Yang clenched the jade bottle in his hand, nodded vigorously, and walked directly into the retreat room with steady steps.
"Okay, Brother Minghan, let's go too, if Sun is so good, he will definitely build a successful foundation. Chen Pingzhi smiled slightly, cast another spell to close the stone door of the retreat room, and then pulled Zhou Minghan out of the cave with a worried look.
