Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tianhefang City and the Alchemy Mission
Soon after the family's monks rushed to Wujiangfang City, Li Xuangang came out of the cave mansion, then went down the mountain and went straight to Tianhefang City.
Tianhefang City is regarded as the Li family's own market, although the Li family only accounts for less than one-fifth of the share, but because Tianhefang City is the closest market to Taiqiu Mountain, and almost all the industries in the family are also in it, most of the Li family's clansmen are active in Tianhefang City.
This time, Li Xuangang went to Tianhefang City to make some necessary purchases for his next cultivation life in Taiqiu Mountain.
Two days later, Li Xuangang finally arrived in Tianhefang City, remembering that the last time he came here was on the way to Binhaifang City, but he did not enter Fangfang City at that time.
Standing under the huge stone plaque of Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang silently looked at some of the surrounding situations and found that although the scale of Tianhefang City could not be compared with large markets such as Binhaifang City and Wujiangfang City, it was also quite lively.
Stepping into the streets of Tianhefang City, there are shops of major families lined up on both sides, and Li Xuangang also saw a lot of his family's industries.
However, Li Xuangang did not go in, he had another purpose for this trip.
Li Xuangang of Tianhefang City is no stranger, so he walked directly to his goal.
Li Xuangang's target is the major grain stores, because he no longer has spirit stones on his body, but fortunately, he has the batch of spirit valleys found in the boundary source space, so he can also change the spirit stones to alleviate the current situation.
While walking on the streets of Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang had a thought. It seems that since he began to practice corpse alchemy, the spirit stones on his body have not been relaxed, although many of them are used by himself for cultivation, but the cultivation of corpse refining still costs him a part of the spirit stones.
If he could save that spirit stone, Li Xuangang would not be so embarrassed.
The Spirit Valley of the Boundary Source Space was sold by Li Xuangang in batches in major grain stores.
The throughput of more than ten grain stores in Tianhefang City to Linggu is about 10,000 catties every day, so Li Xuangang's smashing of Linggu did not arouse any reaction, nor did it attract anyone's attention.
After selling the last batch of Spirit Valley, Li Xuangang had more than 300 spirit stones in his storage bag after stepping out of a grain store.
Walking to the street, Li Xuangang chose a direction and went to a shop that sold corpse refining materials.
This is the shop of the King of Qingyuan Mountain, because there is a small ghoul field in the family, so it can also produce some materials for refining corpses every year.
Tianhefang City is a Fang City led by the Jindan family of the King of Qingyuan Mountain, assisted by the other four Zhuji families. Therefore, these five families naturally became the owners of Tianhefang City.
In addition to the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain, they are the Hu family of Jiuhua Mountain, the Pan family of Luoying Mountain, and the Zhao family of Wutongfeng.
Of course, there were other Xiuzhen families in the Tianhe region, but these five families were the strongest among them.
Although there is usually a lot of competition between the major families, it is harmless, and everyone can basically restrain themselves from letting the situation magnify, because every fight is difficult to ensure that other forces will not benefit.
Therefore, in the past 100 years, the entire Tianhe region has been quite peaceful.
Most of the major families in the Tianhe region trade and exchange resources in Tianhefang City, and there are also many scattered cultivators who are attached to Tianhefang City for survival and cultivation.
As a result, Tianhefang became the largest gathering place for monks in the vicinity.
Walking into the Wang family's corpse refining shop, a Wang monk with a fifth-level qi refining layer greeted him.
He asked:
"I wonder what my predecessors want to buy?"
Li Xuangang first took a general look at the things sold in the store, but didn't find what he wanted, so he replied:
"I wonder if you have any materials for cultivating corpses here?"
The Wang clansman who acted as a buddy smiled and said:
"Senior wait a moment. ”
After speaking, he turned around and took out a few jade bottles from the container at the back of the store, and said:
"I don't know what kind of quality you want?"
Seeing this, Li Xuangang finally became interested, walked forward, looked at the jade bottles, and found that these were all several storage magic weapons, which should contain materials for cultivating corpses.
"I wonder if there is a suitable corpse refining for the middle stage of Qi refining?"
The guy picked up a jade bottle.
"The essence blood of the second-order demon beast Spirit Rock Deer is suitable for cultivating refining corpses in the early stage and middle stage of Qi refining, what do you think, Daoist?"
By the time Li Xuangang left the Wang family's shop, there were less than two hundred spirit stones in the storage bag.
Shaking the essence blood in the Yin gourd, Li Xuangang thought that these should be enough for his refining corpse to reach the fifth layer of qi refining.
After dealing with the matter of refining the corpse, Li Xuangang took a stroll around Tianhefang City again, focusing on whether each family had any spirit plant seeds for sale that he was interested in.
In the end, Li Xuangang didn't buy a suitable elixir seed, but he accidentally saw a loose cultivator selling a first-order demon beast called Yellow Bone Fish.
The yellow bone fish is just a first-order low-grade demon beast, there is nothing special about it, but the meat is delicious and the taste is sufficient. After the monk eats it, it also has some use for cultivation, but it is not as good as the elixir.
Some monks who were immersed in the desire of the tongue were very enthusiastic about this, but Li Xuangang was not very interested in it.
Just as Li Xuangang was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that there was not a waterhole at the end of the canyon in the Boundary Source Space?
Thinking of this, Li Xuangang stopped and asked about the price of yellow bone fish sold by Nasanxiu.
Subsequently, Li Xuangang spent another twenty spirit stones to buy five yellow bone fish.
After that, Li Xuangang went to the alchemy pavilion opened by the family in Tianhefang City, and visited the family monk Li Qingtian stationed here.
After greeting Li Qingtian, the thirteenth uncle, and asking some about his experience in alchemy, Li Xuangang said goodbye to him.
Then Li Xuangang left Tianhefang City and returned to Taiqiu Mountain.
After returning to his cave mansion, Li Xuangang closed the cave mansion ban and entered the boundary source space.
Entering the boundary source space, Li Xuangang first went to check the growth of various spirit plants as usual, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, he walked towards the pond at the end of the boundary source space canyon.
Li Xuangang first squatted down and put his hands into the pool, feeling that the pool contained a trace of aura, Li Xuangang thought that it should be possible to breed yellow bone fish.
Then, he put his hand on his clothes and wiped the water stains, and then took the five-tailed yellow bone fish out from behind him.
Since the yellow bone fish is a living creature and cannot be put into a storage bag, Li Xuangang returned to Taiqiu Mountain with a half-square jade box all the way.
After the yellowfish were released into the pool, the five yellowbones immediately swam out and gathered in the center of the pool.
Looking at the yellow bone fish swimming in the pond, Li Xuangang guessed that this pond should be no different from the outside world, and there was nothing abnormal about the yellow bone fish in it.
After making sure that the yellow bone fish could survive, Li Xuangang returned to the cave mansion in the boundary space.
Several large boxes in the cave had already been disposed of by him, and instead there was a row of wooden shelves on which were some of his miscellaneous belongings.
In addition, there was also a batch of yellow bud grass seeds that he was preparing to plant, as well as some auxiliary medicines for refining Yanggu Dan that he had collected.
After tidying up the things on the wooden shelf, Li Xuangang went out of the cave again and gave rain to various spiritual plants.
Finally, after making sure that everything was arranged, he went out of the boundary source space again and put away the boundary source bead.
Then, he took a Chunlu Pill and began to enter a state of cultivation.
At the same time, in the yin gourd around his waist. The iron-armored corpse was soaked in blood, and the essence blood of the Lingyan Deer was absorbed by it little by little.
The cultivation of the ironclad corpse is also slowly breaking through to the fifth layer of qi refining.
......
On the fifth day after returning from Tianhefang City, Li Xuangang ended his cultivation because it was time to refine Yanggu Dan for his family.
Li Xuangang opened the cave mansion and walked towards the family alchemy pavilion on Taiqiu Mountain.
The Alchemy Pavilion is on the side peak of Taiqiu Mountain, and the distance from Li Xuangang's cave is not very far, so with a cup of tea, Li Xuangang arrived here.
Climbing the side peak, the road is not as wide as on Taiqiu Mountain, but a little narrow.
The roads on Taiqiu Mountain are mostly wide avenues, which is to facilitate the family horses and beasts to go up the mountain. The side peaks don't need large demon beasts like Earth Horse Beasts to go up the mountain, so there is no need to widen the road, so that the surrounding space is saved for opening up a medicine garden.
As far as the eye can see, on both sides of the narrow path are the medicine gardens opened up by the family, which are planted with Zhu Danguo, a red one, gradually extending down the slope from the ridge, looking magnificent.
Because there is a vein on the side peak, it is hotter and drier than other places in Taiqiu Mountain, and Zhu Danguo likes the sun, and it is best to plant it here.
This is the main production area of the family's Zhu Dan fruit, of course, there are also sporadic cultivation in other medicine gardens in Taiqiu Mountain, but most of the medicine gardens on the main peak of Taiqiu Mountain are still planted with yellow bud grass.
Here Li Xuangang is also the first time to come, walking cautiously to avoid scratching the Zhu Dan grass that sticks out from the fence of the medicine garden on both sides of the road.
This thing is quite expensive, and if you are not careful, it is easy to touch the Zhu Danguo that knotted it.
However, Li Xuangang was very experienced in this, and walked steadily through the path to a red attic half-embedded in the rock cliff.
At this time, a boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old was already waiting in front of the gate of the attic, and when he saw Li Xuangang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"Yuxian meets Uncle Nine. ”
The family's alchemy pavilion is generally not here except for the family's alchemist and patriarch, and every time he finishes practicing the pill, he is collected by the low-level clansmen who specially prepare materials for the alchemist in the alchemy pavilion, and then hand them over to the charity hall to be stored.
These low-level clansmen have all taken over the task of taking care of the medicine garden outside the Alchemy Pavilion, and they are usually responsible for taking care of Zhu Dancao, and when the alchemist of the family comes to do alchemy every month, they will send someone from them to help sort out the alchemy materials.
Li Xuangang estimated that this was the clansman who was sent to help him sort out Yanggu Dan's materials.
So he told him to straighten up, looked at him for a while, and then asked:
"What is your ranking in the jade generation?"
Li Yuxian was quite nervous, this was the first time he had been sent to help the alchemist sort out the materials, I heard that the previous eighteenth aunt and grandmother were very talkative, but I don't know what the temper of the ninth uncle in front of him who looked a little unsmiling.
"Uncle Jiu, the jade string and jade characters are ranked third. ”
Li Xuangang let out a faint "um", indicating that he understood, and then crossed Li Yuxian and stood in front of the gate of the Alchemy Pavilion.
However, at this time, the door of the Alchemy Pavilion was still closed.
Li Xuangang took out a token, and after injecting a little spiritual power, he opened the door of the Alchemy Pavilion.
This is the token that the patriarch gave him to control the prohibition of the Alchemy Pavilion before.
While walking into the Alchemy Pavilion, he reminded Li Yuxian behind him to follow.
After stepping into the Alchemy Pavilion, what caught Li Xuangang's eyes was a vermilion alchemy furnace.
This furnace is called Huoqian Qingyang Furnace, although it is only a first-order high-grade, but it is a strong sense of heaviness.
At the bottom of the furnace of the Huoqian Qingyang Furnace, there is a small opening specially opened by the family in the leyline, which is usually blocked with a piece of dark iron, and when the alchemist removes it when he is alchemizing, he can come out of it the earth fire used in his alchemy.
When Li Xuangang handed over to his eighteenth aunt Li Qingru, the latter reminded him one by one.
Li Xuangang walked forward, first carefully looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, and then familiarized himself with the environment.
In the end, he removed the dark iron at the bottom of the furnace, and after preheating the Huoqian Qingyang furnace, he asked Li Yuxian on the side to take out the materials for refining Yanggu Dan.
Hearing Ninth Uncle Li Xuangang instruct him, Li Yuxian hurriedly took off the storage bag that had already been prepared, and then placed the alchemy materials inside one by one, and handed them to Li Xuangang one by one.
This was all ordered in advance by the elders of the previous family, and Li Yuxian remembered the steps very clearly, and there was no mistake at all.
The amount of Yanggu Dan refining is too large, and it doesn't need to consume too much spiritual power of the alchemist, so in order to reduce the time for the alchemist to sort materials, he will send a low-level clansman like Li Yuxian to assist.
Under Li Xuangang's continuous refining, one furnace after another of Yanggu Dan was refined, and then Li Yuxian put the refined Yanggu Dan into the jade bottle prepared in the Alchemy Pavilion, one bottle for every twenty Yanggu Dan, and finally put the jade bottle into the storage bag issued by the family, and when the ninth uncle finished refining, he took it to the Good Gong Hall to register and put it in the warehouse, and he could also settle the family's contribution points there.
Li Xuangang had been refining for five days before he had finished refining all the Yanggu Pills.
The family provided a total of 300 Yanggu Dan materials this time, and Li Xuangang refined a total of more than 1,800 Yanggu Dan, because it was a first-order high-grade alchemy furnace like the Fire Dry Yang Furnace, so Li Xuangang's Chengdan rate increased by one percent compared to the non-advanced alchemy furnace he used before, reaching sixty percent.
Li Xuangang estimated that after refining a few more times, his Cheng Dan rate would increase, and when the Cheng Dan rate reached eighty percent, he should be able to try to refine Chunlu Dan.
