Chapter 55: Temporary Alchemist
The gossip of the little monk's natal magic weapon in the early Yuan Infant was transmitted to Chongyang City in various versions, and became the talk of many low-level monks after dinner.
Rui Qing, who was unintentionally in the limelight, had to follow his own teacher, Rong Xi, and his friend Ouqing, and left the cave mansion where he had lived for more than ten years, and changed his appearance and entered Chongyang City.
Rui Qing and the three of them rented a sparsely populated and quiet house again, so that Rui Qing could retreat and avoid the turmoil.
Time flies, the sea is endless, and seven or eight years have passed, and who still remembers the little monk who crossed the city in the suburbs.
When Rui Qing went out of retreat, he saw the transmission notes left by his own master at the door, and after listening to the voice left by Rong Xi, he knew that they had left the cave.
Rui Qing knew that the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Infant Period of the Russian Yuan Dynasty could no longer be suppressed, and the opportunity to break through the gods in the near future had come, and it was necessary to find a peaceful and safe place to retreat and break through.
The monks of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage have broken through to the period of the Transformation of the Gods, and the power of the Heavenly Thunder of the Tribulation is huge, and the monks need to be fully prepared in order to successfully cross the Tribulation.
There are thousands of monks in Chongyang City, and there are also many Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Golden Immortals who have settled in the Sky City in Chongyang City.
The vast and magnificent Chongyang City is one of the very few immortal cultivation cities in the Xuangu world, which integrates the spiritual veins, the Yuan veins and the immortal veins, and the Chongyang City brings together from the low-level Qi refining stage cultivators to the immortal Venerable - Chongbo Kun.
The outermost part of Chongyang City is covered with veins of top-grade spirit stones, which can provide a strong spiritual energy cultivation for cultivators in the Transformation Stage and below.
The middle part of Chongyang City was covered with top-grade Yuan Stone veins, which could provide rich Yuan Qi cultivation for cultivators from the God Refining Stage to the Merge Dao Period.
In the center of Chongyang City is a superb immortal crystal vein, with a rich and plump immortal aura, and there are immortals living in it from earth immortals to Da Luo Jin Immortals.
And in the sky of Chongyang City, there is a sky city suspended, that is, Lingkong City.
In Lingkong City live Immortal Venerable Chongbokun and his family, as well as his immortal soldiers and immortal servants, Chongbokun's son Dayu is currently cultivating in Lingkong City.
Chongyang City is divided into the inner and outer cities, the middle city, the inner city and the volley city, and the boundary is divided by city walls, forbidden isolation, and guarded by immortal soldiers.
Outer monks are not allowed to enter the higher levels of the city, while the higher levels of the inner city are free to enter and leave the outer city.
In Chongyang City, those who disobey will be expelled from Chongyang City, and they will not be allowed to set foot in Chongyang City for the rest of their lives.
On the contrary, the outside of Chongyang City has become an excellent place for monks to fight, rob and rob, etc., and the fish and dragons are mixed and fierce!
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Russia can only find a secret and safe place outside the city to cross the robbery, but fortunately, the area outside Chongyang City is vast, the aura is abundant, and the cave used for the robbery is not difficult to find.
Therefore, Rong Xi was in Chongyang City, after purchasing the necessary elixirs and cultivation resources for the Russian Qing Tribulation, he temporarily left Chongyang City with Ouqing and went to the suitable location found on the outskirts of the city, and arranged defensive formations around the selected temporary cave mansion to facilitate the successful crossing of the Russian Qing Tribulation.
Because he was not sure of Rui Qing's specific departure time, Rong Xi left a transmission note, and after explaining Rui Qing's related matters, he left with Oqing first.
In the transmission note, Rong Xi just explained that Rui Qing was alone during this period and needed to cultivate well, and left her a lot of cultivation resources and cultivation jade slips.
At the same time, he told Rui Qing not to go outside Chongyang City easily, to cultivate in the city, and to warn her about how dangerous it is outside the city!
Since he can't go out of the city, and Rui Qing can't stay in the cave all the time, he came to the legendary holy land of cultivating immortals, how can he not go out and have a good look!
So after Rui Qing transformed into a simple middle-aged man, he arranged the defensive circle of the cave mansion. Rui Qing cautiously left the cave mansion and went to the nearby teahouse to sit for a while, and by the way, he inquired about the specific situation of Chongyang City.
A little monk like Rui Qing in the infancy stage is simply a small miscellaneous fish among small miscellaneous fish in Chongyang City, any monk who comes out can easily pinch her to death, Rui Qing is naturally too low-key to be low-key, so ordinary that she can't be more ordinary, and she can't attract the attention of others at all.
Rui Qing came to a teahouse called Xianlaike, found an inconspicuous seat in the bottom corner, sat down, ordered a pot of the cheapest spiritual tea, and drank tea while listening to the gossip of the monks.
"I heard that there have been floods in most areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River recently, and the floods are becoming more and more widespread, drowning countless mortals, and even many nearby immortal cultivation families have been affected!"
"No wonder there have been more and more low-level monks on the outskirts of our Chongyang City recently, it turns out that they are all survivors who escaped from the flood!"
"This Yellow River crosses our entire Pingyao realm, passing through most areas under the rule of Immortal Emperor Yao, if the flood is flooded, then the Pingyao realm is estimated to be very unpeaceful. ”
"Fortunately, our Chongyang City is 108,000 miles away from the Yellow River, I just hope that these displaced monks don't all flee to our Chongyang City!"
"Do you think our Immortal Venerable will take care of this matter?"
"Who knows! Immortal Emperor Yao values our Immortal Venerable very much, maybe he will appoint our Immortal Venerable Kun to deal with the flood of the Yellow River!"
......
It was the first time for Rui Qing to see that a flood could still cause such earth-shattering waves in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, what a serious flood it must be!
Wait, Rui Qing stopped thinking nonsense, and the keywords of "flood, Yao, Kun, Dayu" entered Rui Qing's ears, and Rui Qing was so frightened that she shivered on the spot.
I entered the Heart Magic Mirror and traveled through time and space to the ancient period when immortal cultivation flourished thousands of years ago, shouldn't it be just to experience this catastrophe!
Rui Qing had already seen a record of this flood in "Xuan Gu Zhi Hai Nei Jing":
"In the Xuangu period, when the floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were rampant, the benevolent Xianzun Kun took pity on the innocent people and accepted the appointment of Xiandi Yao to deal with the floods. ”
Later, the floods became angry, and the floods became more raging, and the method of stasis could not completely block and control the floods. Fortunately, even if Kun heard that the Emperor of Heaven had a sacred object called the Resting Soil, which could live endlessly and never exhaust, and could completely absorb the flood; Caring for the people of the world, Kun went to the Heavenly Realm to ask the Emperor for a loan, but the selfish and greedy Emperor of Heaven would not waste his sacred object for the sake of just ants; in desperation, the Commander had to take medicine to stun the Emperor, and when he was drunk, he successfully stole the Rest Soil and stopped the flood that had raged for thousands of years. ”
"When the Emperor of Heaven woke up, he found that the artifact had been stolen, and the angry Emperor of Heaven sent Zhu Rong to kill Yu Yuan, and many immortals and many monks in Chongyang City were also killed by the brutal Zhu Rongshun, and Chongyang City was also burned clean by Zhu Rong, the god of fire!"
"From then on, the benevolent Immortal Venerable Kun and the Holy Land of Cultivating Immortals, Chongyang City, have all disappeared between this heaven and earth. Fortunately, Kun's son Dayu successfully escaped Zhu Rong's strangulation, and after 10,000 years, he advanced to become a god, avenged his father, and successfully killed Zhu Rong and the Emperor of Heaven. “
Dayu inherited the will of his deceased father, and with the help of ancient gods such as Gonggong and Fuxi, he successfully subdued the flood, and then used the method of evacuating the river to successfully evacuate the flood, and the catastrophe of the flood was finally eliminated. Dayu is also worshiped as a god by all beings in the Pingyao realm!"
The myth of the god Dayu to control the water has been recorded in the universe after tens of millions of years, which shows that this flood that has lasted for more than 10,000 years is an earth-shattering event in the entire ancient period.
The unlucky Rui Qing was in the early stage of the outbreak of this major event at this time, and happened to come to Chongyang City, the center of this great struggle.
Listening to the group of ignorant melon-eating monks around him, they looked like they were out of the way, boring and chatting about the flood! Rui Qing's heart was already flooded with earth-shattering waves, they didn't know that the tragic fate of the cultivators in Chongyang City was waiting for them!
Under the nest, there are no eggs. If even the Immortal Venerable Kun in Chongyang City is not Zhu Rong's opponent, then Rui Qing, the little monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, can only flee for his life earlier!
Rui Qing, who had just stabilized her cultivation, didn't have time to be happy at all, and was scared into a cold sweat by the shocking news found in the teahouse!
After staying at the fairy guest for a whole morning, Rui Qing left the teahouse in a huff, some things had to be planned in advance!
Wandering around in Chongyang City, Rui Qing at this moment no longer cares about the impurities in the pills, and plans to buy more top-grade pills and quickly improve his cultivation, so as to meet the next natural and man-made disasters.
Rui Qing, who had been wandering around for a while, found that the prices in Chongyang City were amazingly high, and the five top-grade yuan stones and thousands of top-grade spirit stones left by his master were not enough for Rui Qing to purchase in Chongyang City.
Before refining the natal magic weapon Spirit Rhino Sword, he continued to cultivate it in Rui Qing's dantian. The Spirit Rhino Sword, which has been cultivated for eight or nine years, has a compelling aura, and it is more connected with Rui Qing. Unless it is a battle of life and death, in a general fight, Rui Qing is reluctant to use the Spirit Rhino Sword.
However, Rui Qing did not have the rest of the magic weapons, so even if the price was painfully expensive, Rui Qing had to buy a magic weapon as soon as possible.
In the branch of the Treasure Pavilion in the outer city of Chongyang City, Rui Qing valued a superb sword with thunder attributes, and after some bargaining, Rui Qing finally took it into his pocket.
Just buying this supreme magic weapon, the Fury Thunder Sword, cost Rui Qing more than 500 top-grade spirit stones.
So Rui Qing, who has always gnawed at the old clan, planned to gain an in-depth understanding of Chongyang City and investigate the flood situation in Pingyao Realm, while trying to earn some spirit stones, buy some resources necessary for cultivation, and prepare for the upcoming catastrophe!
After some inquiry, Rui Qing learned that the Treasure Pavilion branch in the outer city was recruiting a temporary alchemist, which was a good opportunity to earn spirit stones.
Therefore, Rui Qing decided to first strive to become a temporary alchemist of the Yuan Infant Stage of the Treasure Pavilion, refining the elixir used by the Yuan Infant Stage cultivators for them.
Three days later, it was the assessment time of the Treasure Pavilion, and Rui Qing came to the Yuan Infant Stage Elixir Room on the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion early, preparing to take their temporary alchemist exam.
The maid in charge of greeting took Rui Qing to the living room outside the door of the alchemy room specially used to assess the candidates, and waited for all the candidates to arrive and take the exam together!
After a short meeting, after all the participants in the assessment arrived, the person in charge of the alchemy room brought them into an alchemy cubicle and let them refine the assessment pills on the spot.
After Rui Qing entered the alchemy cubicle, he looked at the fourth-order elixir Bai Yulian on the table, as well as some auxiliary elixirs, and Rui Qing knew that the elixir assessed by the Treasure Pavilion this time was the White Lotus Pill.
The White Lotus Pill is a fourth-order elixir used by Yuan Infant Stage monks to nourish the soul, and it belongs to the spirit pill commonly used by Yuan Infant Stage Monks, Rui Qing has refined it many times under the guidance of Rong Xi, and is very familiar with the refining of White Lotus Pill.
Rui Qing skillfully controlled the Dan Fire in the palm of his hand with his left hand, and controlled the white jade lotus in the air with his right hand to heat it evenly, and after gradually removing the impurities in the white jade lotus, he used the extracted spiritual liquid to control it into the jade bottle.
After extracting all the rest of the auxiliary pills in the same way, it was the critical moment to refine the elixir, and Rui Qing's divine sense controlled the spiritual liquid, gradually pouring it into the alchemy furnace heated by spiritual fire in mid-air, carefully refining the elixir.
In the entire process of alchemy, from the extraction of the spiritual liquid, to the thermal control of the alchemy furnace, to the pouring of the spiritual liquid, etc., the monk's spiritual power storage, divine consciousness control, and the monk's pharmacological familiarity with the elixir were particularly tested.
After Rui Qing finished refining all the White Lotus Pills, she was already exhausted! The dantian spiritual power had used a full fifth, and it had also consumed a lot of divine consciousness, and alchemy was really a hard technical job!
Alchemy not only requires a monk to have talent, but also requires a lot of resources, and if an ordinary monk does not have the guidance of a famous teacher, it is difficult for him to become a great weapon!
Learning alchemy is an extremely burning process of spirit stones, and the cultivation process of alchemists is extremely long, so there is a family behind the general high-level alchemists.
And the elixirs they refined were generally handed over to the vast majority of the family for the cultivation of the entire family's cultivators, and few of them could be sold in surplus. Therefore, a large trading house like the Treasure Pavilion would pay a high price to attract alchemists in casual cultivation and let them become full-time or temporary alchemists in their own shops.
And Rui Qing plans to become a temporary alchemist, so that cultivation and earning spirit stones are not wrong!
After sorting out all the pills in the alchemy furnace and putting them into the jade bottle, Rui Qing refined a total of five top-grade White Lotus Pills, twenty-five top-grade White Lotus Pills, and no middle-grade and lower-grade White Lotus Pills.
Rui Qing's refining of the elixir this time was very successful, thanks to the careful teaching of the master Rong Xi on weekdays, Rui Qing's alchemy skills were amazing!
After Rui Qing meditated and recovered her spiritual power and divine sense, she left the alchemy pavilion and handed over all the white lotus pills she had refined to the maid, Rui Qing sat cross-legged in the living room, continued to recover her spiritual power and divine sense, and waited for the person in charge of the alchemy room to announce the final result.
In the end, Rui Qing successfully obtained the position of temporary alchemist in the infancy of the Treasure Pavilion with an absolute advantage.
Because the requirements of the Treasure Pavilion for temporary alchemists are very relaxed, Rui Qing only needs to hand over the refined pills to the alchemy room on weekdays, and the materials and alchemy furnaces are all produced by the Treasure Pavilion.
Moreover, the Treasure Pavilion also treats their temporary alchemists very favorably, and Rui Qing can enjoy a 20% discount when he buys other pills from the Treasure Pavilion, which is an unexpected benefit.
In this way, Rui Qing started his career as a temporary alchemist in Chongyang City, while waiting for the return of his master Rong Xi and his friend Ouqing, while actively stockpiling cultivation resources to accumulate strength for the next catastrophe!
