The invitation came to an end, after all, there were still more than ten days to go, so there was no need to be too anxious, Zhao Yuanlong talked to Zhou Changqing about the recent situation of the sect again.

Since Zhou Changqing came to Xuanqingmen, nothing has changed, Longhumen seems to have slowed down its actions against Xuanqingmen, and the development of the sect has improved slightly.

"After this Dragon and Tiger Gate celebration, disciples must be recruited, and if there are too few disciples, the development of the sect will be seriously restricted. Zhou Changqing's expression was serious.

"In the past, there were many people who came to my Xuanqing Gate to apprentice, but since the Dragon and Tiger Gate suppressed my Xuanqing Gate for no reason, not only have the disciples of the sect left countless times, but no one has come to the Xuanqing Gate to apprentice. I was injured before because I went to visit the owner of Longhumen to ask the reason, but I didn't want Liu Qing to hurt me. Zhao Yuanlong smiled bitterly.

"Do we have an old grudge against that Dragon Tiger Gate?" Zhou Changqing looked thoughtful.

"I, Xuanqingmen, have always been kind to others, and I have never had a grudge against anyone!" Zhao Yuanlong was also puzzled.

"There's definitely something in this that we don't know, and that's fine, there's always a time when it comes to the light of day, so let's leave that at that. Zhou Changqing said calmly. "I want to know what are the main industries of Xuanqingmen?"

"My Xuanqing family is small, and most of the property is maintained by mortals, and there is not much buying and selling of spiritual materials. There are two blacksmith shops, three medicinal herb shops, two cloth shops, and two restaurants, and they can also subsidize the use of the sect every month. Although Zhao Yuanlong didn't understand what Zhou Changqing was asking for, he still told Zhou Changqing about all the industries in Xuanqingmen.

Zhou Changqing frowned slightly after hearing this, these industries are simply ordinary industries, without any characteristics, let alone competitiveness, no wonder they are becoming more and more sluggish.

"Senior brother, don't we have any special industries? It's the kind that belongs only to our other two sects?"

"My Xuanqing Sect is in decline, and this kind of industry can't be used at all!" Zhao Yuanlong smiled bitterly.

"Senior brother, I don't know if there are pills for sale in this Guanglong City?" Zhou Changqing thought for a while.

"As far as I know, there are no pills for sale in Guanglong City, if you want to alchemy, you must at least build a foundation for cultivation, although Guanglong City has a large population, there are very few foundation building monks, and alchemists must have fire attribute spiritual roots to achieve it, although there will be pills when the city monk trading market is opened, but the number is very small. Zhao Yuanlong recalled for a moment and said.

"In this case, junior brother has classics about alchemy and the like, senior brother, I want to study it and see if I can try it. ”

"Does Senior Brother still have a Fire Attribute Spirit Root? The alchemy technique takes a lot of time, I'm afraid it will delay Senior Brother's cultivation!" Zhao Yuanlong frowned slightly.

Zhou Changqing didn't answer, stretched out his right hand, and a cluster of flames suddenly burst out on the tip of his index finger, changing into a small fire man, and then flexibly jumped on the fingertips of his five fingers, showing a strong ability to control fire.

Zhao Yuanlong's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that my senior brother still had this hand, but I saved a lot of things, but there are a few alchemy books in the door, and my junior brother went out to travel in the early years, and he also accidentally got a manual of alchemy from his predecessors in a monk's cave, so I think it should have a little effect on my senior brother." ”

Zhao Yuanlong opened a secret mechanism in his room, opened a secret room in his room, the two went down to this secret room, Zhao Yuanlong lit a candle on the wall, and the entire secret room was suddenly shrouded in a layer of dim light.

Zhao Yuanlong carefully searched for several bookshelves in the secret room and found a few thick books, one of which had four big characters on the surface of alchemy basics, another book about the refining methods of some simple pills and the introduction of many spiritual herbs and elixirs, and two books without names, which were the alchemy manuals that Zhao Yuanlong said, which recorded some experiences of the predecessors in alchemy.

The following days were very ordinary, Zhou Changqing was practicing and reading books under the plane tree, although the alchemy content written in these books was very basic, but it was very comprehensive. Only then did Zhou Changqing know why there were so few alchemists, a person's energy was limited, and cultivation was something that every monk had been doing all his life, but he still felt that there was not enough time, alchemy was very complicated, and it required repeated experiments and operations, and it was a trivial matter to consume financial resources, and it also consumed a lot of time.

In addition, the alchemist also requires high qualifications, must have excellent soul perception ability, be able to perceive the changes and fusion of medicinal materials in the Dan furnace, etc.;To have a fire attribute spirit root, by manipulating the flame to control the sequence and speed of the fusion of medicinal materials in the Dan furnace, this step also needs to be dedicated to two purposes, while exerting mana, while controlling the medicinal materials of the Dan furnace;Secondly, the alchemist also needs to have enough cultivation, because without enough cultivation, you can't have enough mana to control the flames. Generally speaking, alchemy is a very demanding profession, and this is a water mill kung fu, whether it is fire control or dual-minded alchemy, it takes years of continuous practice to practice to make perfect.

There are very few monks who learn alchemy in the foundation building realm, and the foundation building realm only has a lifespan of five hundred years, and the monks with poor qualifications can't even cultivate in the middle stage of foundation building, let alone learn alchemy at the same time. Zhou Changqing couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, in his previous life, reading the alchemy of the protagonists in the novel was as simple as drinking water, which made him have this illusion. Fortunately, he has the fire control instinct of the old tree for tens of thousands of years, and his soul perception is constantly getting stronger, and learning alchemy is twice the result with half the effort.

On the basis of this alchemy, there are several relatively basic pills, which are not of much use to monks, and are mostly used by ordinary mortals. Strengthening the body, can strengthen the mortal body, long-term use will increase the chance of stepping into the congenital, blood pill, the treatment of mortal internal and external injuries has a miraculous effect, these two pills are Zhou Changqing selected to be used to test the hands of the two pills, from the effect of the pills, it should be very marketable, and the raw materials of these two pills are also very common.

Zhou Changqing asked Xiao Yan to go to the pharmacy in the city to get these medicinal materials, and prepared a room dedicated to alchemy, this house is very closed, only there is a vent at the top, the room is very simple, there is only one Dan furnace, there are three futons around the Dan furnace, and several shelves are placed near the back wall to hold medicinal materials and refined pills.

The materials of the Strengthening Pill are Meat Mushroom, Ginseng and Bitter Vine, the first two provide energy, and the latter mainly plays a fusion and catalytic role, so to refine this Strengthening Pill, you must first refine Meat Mushroom and Ginseng, and then refine Bitter Vine for the final fusion.

Zhou Changqing let go of his mind, sat quietly for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, and his index finger was a little lower than the Dan furnace, and a firelight shot out from his fingertips, extending to the bottom of the Dan furnace, and the fire was suddenly raging under the Dan furnace, Zhou Changqing felt it, and maintained this mana output, and the mana in his body could last for about two hours.

Zhou Changqing put the three medicinal materials into the Dan furnace, released his soul perception to perceive the situation in the Dan furnace, and controlled the flame to refine the meat mushroom and ginseng first, but he didn't expect that the flame temperature seemed to be too much, and the two medicinal materials evaporated in the blink of an eye, and the refining failed.

Zhou Changqing was already mentally prepared, and started the second time without care, this time he learned the lesson of the previous time, reduced the mana output, and lowered the temperature of the flame, but he failed to evaporate the medicinal liquid of the bitter vine refining meat mushroom and ginseng, Zhou Changqing shook his head and started the third time.

Zhou Changqing has been addicted to alchemy, and he has not come out of the pill room for nearly two days, and in these two days, he has consumed countless medicinal materials, and when his mana is exhausted, he meditates and resumes refining to continue refining. Finally practiced the first pill on the morning of the third day, this pill is not as round and smooth as Zhou Changqing imagined, on the contrary, it is not round, and the surface is not smooth, this is because of Zhou Changqing's rough refining technique, but Zhou Changqing is very excited, which at least proves that he Zhou Changqing can become a Dan Master.

With this first success, the next thing is practice makes perfect, and in the next five days, Zhou Changqing is still addicted to alchemy, and the results are also remarkable, there are nearly thirty small jade bottles on the shelves, and each jade bottle contains a body-strengthening pill. Zhou Changqing currently has no plans to refine other pills, the quality of these pills will almost be taken to the Xuanqing Gate to be sold on the market, and the high quality will be kept for his own use, Zhou Changqing decided to choose some children to cultivate from an early age in the future.

After eight days of alchemy, Zhou Changqing finally walked out of the alchemy room, because the celebration of the Dragon Tiger Gate was about to start, and Zhou Changqing still needed to make some preparations.

Zhou Changqing is now in the early stage of foundation building, and the spells he knows are only fire and wood, and the spells of the other three systems Zhou Changqing also decided to learn some in case of emergency.

There are also a few spells in the Xuanqing Gate that are quite good, such as water-attribute hydrotherapy, which uses the gentle attribute of water-attribute aura to nourish wounds and play a certain healing role, and the earth-attribute swamp technique also has some effects, and the metallic golden spear technique is very good.

Zhao Yuanlong arranged everything in the sect and asked Lu Cheng to manage the sect temporarily, it would take a few days to go to the Dragon and Tiger Gate this time, and he had to leave now.

This time, there were a total of three people who went to Longhumen, Zhou Changqing, Zhao Yuanlong and Zhuo Qingfeng, Zhao Yuanlong had a small flying boat, and the three of them were meditating in the flying boat at the moment.

"Senior brother, then Han Long specially mentioned you, presumably to probe your bottom, I don't know what will happen at the banquet!" Zhao Yuanlong's face was solemn.

"Hehe! Even if Han Long personally makes a move, I am not afraid of him, junior brother, and rest assured. Zhou Changqing didn't care, to be honest, he didn't know what strength he had now, after all, he hadn't really fought with human monks, and he didn't know what the strength of the monks in the late stage of foundation building was, but he would be able to know this time.

"No matter what, this time it is bound to play the majesty of my Xuanqing Gate, the rise of the Xuanqing Gate is this time, let's go to the Dragon Tiger Gate together!!" The look on Zhou Changqing's face gradually became excited, since Zhou Changqing crossed over, he found that he had become more and more fond of the feeling of fighting with others, which always made him feel his heart beat faster and his blood boiling.

Zhao Yuanlong's expression was still a little dignified, but Zhuo Qingfeng's expression was also a little impatient.
