Chapter 36: Three Problems

"That giant door actually opened slowly by itself!"

"As soon as the door opened, a golden hall appeared before my eyes. As soon as I saw the gate open, I hurried inside, and walked, and guess what I saw?"

Liangchen stopped suddenly, and asked with a frightened expression.

"What did you see?" Qiu Xinmeng was also nervous when he was startled by his tone.

"In the center of the hall sat an old man with gray hair! The old man pointed with his hand, and I was fixed on the spot!

The old man said with an angry face,

'I have been in retreat here for nearly a thousand years, and I have only been out of the customs for a few days, and it is also fate that you can find my mansion. But you smashed and slashed in front of my door for a few days and nights, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to be out of the customs and disturbed my alchemy, what kind of crime should I be guilty of?'

I hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that I had no intention of offending.

The white-bearded old man said again,

"Even if there is fate, I will give you three great chances, are you willing?"

As soon as I heard about the opportunity, of course I quickly nodded and said yes.

The white-bearded old man continued,

'Of course, you have to take a considerable amount of risk in order to punish you for your offense, but whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your creation!

I've worked so hard to get here, how can I give up so easily? I even said, 'Think about it, think about it!'

The white-bearded old man stroked his snow-white beard and said,

'It's easy to say, it's hard to say, ask you a question, and if you can answer it, I'll give you an elixir!'" Liangchen said.

"Turning into an elixir!Legend has it that taking a divine pill below the golden pill can directly advance to the next level?"

Qiu Xinmeng seemed to have heard of this elixir, and interrupted Liangchen's words in surprise.

"Yes! As soon as I heard that it was an elixir, I quickly thanked me excitedly.

The white-bearded old man said, 'Don't thank you yet, it's up to you whether you can get the elixir or not.' If you answer all three questions, you'll be given three. Of course, if you can't answer, you have to take a Sangong pill. Liangchen continued.

"Sangong Dan, what is that?" Qiu Xinmeng asked again as if he had never heard of this kind of pill.

"Of course, the Scattering Gong Pill is a Scattering Pill! A poison that will make the mana dissipate and fall to a realm if you eat it!" Liangchen had an expression that he didn't even know about this.

"I was fascinated by the elixir, where else to ask. Hurriedly said, then you ask!

The white-bearded old man took out a golden balance and a mutton fat jade bottle, and then poured out eight silver elixirs from the jade bottle and said,

'Eight elixirs, the pills weigh one or two, and one of them is a slightly heavier false pill. The balance can only be used twice, how to find the fake pill? Give you half an hour. ’

After the old man finished speaking, he stopped talking. Liangchen said.

"Find a fake pill among the eight elixirs, have you found it?" Qiu Xinmeng asked nervously.

"It's a pity that I'm too stupid, no matter how I think about it, I have to pick out the fake pill at least three times. I asked the old man, the minimum is three times, how can it be two?

The white-bearded old man said, 'First divide the eight elixirs into two parts, one for two and one for six.

Then the first time you weigh the six pieces, divide them into two parts, three on each side, and if they are flat, the remaining two are one true and one false.

If it is high and bottom, then high school is fake,

Take out two of the three high ones and weigh them for the second time, if flat, the rest is false.

If one is high and one is low, the high is false. ’

While demonstrating, the old man found the fake pill and gave it to me, so that I could take it!

I was helpless, but I had no power to resist, so I had to give in. I only felt a burst of colic in the dantian, and the realm fell from the foundation building to the late stage of qi training. Liangchen said with a painful expression while holding his stomach.

"Ahh

I was not reconciled, so I asked the old man to ask a second question.

The old man took out five gold pills and said,

Now there are a total of twelve golden pills, and there is still a false pill among them, and I don't know whether this fake pill is light or heavy. The balance lets you use it three times, how do you find out the fake pill?'"

Liangchen scratched his head and said.

"Did you answer that?" Qiu Xinmeng asked nervously.

"Of course not! I can't answer the eight just now, let alone the twelve!" said Liangchen.

"What then?" Qiu Xinmeng asked.

"What else can I do! I took another Scattered Gong Pill! After eating it, my realm has already fallen to the middle stage of Qi cultivation.

The old man with the white beard asked, 'Do you want to answer the third?'

I thought to myself, that's all it, I don't care about the last question, so I let him continue to ask.

The old man put all the eleven golden pills into the mutton fat jade bottle, and then took out four identical jade bottles and said,

'One out of the five bottles is all fake pills, and the fake pills are one percent heavier than the real pills. The balance can only be used once to find the bottle of fake pill. Give you half an hour!'"

Liangchen spoke slowly.

"You can only use it once, so how do you find out!?" Qiu Xin dreamed, this topic was too difficult, and she didn't have a clue at all.

"Alas, I also wanted to break my head, and I didn't come up with a way, and finally the time came.

The white-bearded old man said,

Arrange the five vials of elixir in a line, take one in the first bottle, two in the second bottle, three in the third bottle, four in the fourth bottle, and five in the fifth bottle. Put them together on this balance and weigh them.

I told you before that this elixir weighs one or two, so if these fifteen pills are all true pills, they should be five taels per catty.

And the fake Dan is one percent heavier than the real Dan, so if the first bottle is a fake Dan, it is five taels and one dollar per catty.

If the second bottle is a fake pill, it is five taels and two dollars per catty,

The third bottle is fake, it is a pound of five taels and three dollars,

The fourth bottle is fake, it is a pound of five taels and four dollars,

The fifth bottle is fake, and it is five taels and five dollars per catty.

You see, it's five taels and three dollars a catty, so the third bottle is a fake pill!'

The old man said and took out the bottle in the middle of the five. Liangchen said slowly.

"Ahh Qiu Xinmeng thought about it, and it was really true.

"The old man took out one of the fake pills and gave them to me, and I had to take another one more pill.

Alas~ one fell to the early stage of qi training. So now you know the reason why my realm is so low!"

Liangchen seems to be still immersed in memories, looking very sad.

"Really, is it fake?" Qiu Xinmeng said in disbelief.

"So don't call me back and forth in the future, how can I say that I used to be higher than you, and you see me calling my seniors. "The old god of Liangchen is looking like a senior master.

"Let me call you senior? Wishful thinking! Fire Snake Curse!" Qiu Xinmeng gritted his silver teeth lightly, and pinched the law in his hand, and he was going to teach Liangchen a lesson.

"Help! I can't afford to provoke it! This woman will change her face when she says it... Liangchen hurriedly sped up and ran.

......

That's it, I help in the shop on weekdays, hunt demon beasts with Qiu Xinmeng at night, rest for two or three days every few days, and go to the Burning Workshop to refine weapons on a good day.

Happy times always fly by, and three months have passed.

As time goes by, the cooperation between the two becomes more and more tacit, and the materials made every day should be able to sell for about two or three hundred spirit gold.

Although it is not as much as when I cooperated with Meng Qianshan before, it is also a considerable income.

And there is also news that makes Liangchen happy, because he often goes to the Burning Workshop to refine weapons, and he is becoming more and more familiar with the eldest sister of the shopkeeper of the Fire Workshop, and the shopkeeper gave him half the price.

The inferior ground fires only collect fifty gold for a whole day, and if it is a night, it only costs twenty gold.

It really excites him!

On the other hand, Liangchen's refining techniques are becoming more and more proficient, and he can succeed in one after six or seven, and the refined sword can also be sold for some spiritual gold.

Coupled with the fact that he has earned money every day of hunting and fighting monsters, he feels that he has reached the days when he couldn't spend a lot of money before.

But this time, he understood that no amount of money was not much on the bottomless pit of refining weapons!

Moreover, after a few months of demon beast battles, the realm of Qiu Xinmeng has improved rapidly, and it seems that it is about to advance to the foundation building period.

At that time, it is unknown whether she will return to her master to practice penance like Saint Qianshan, or continue to be with herself.

Once she leaves, she will have to think about the source of the spiritual gold again.

Therefore, he cherishes the time of refining every time and tries his best to keep improving!
