Chapter 231: Time is Ticking
After annihilating all the mountain bandits, Lou Yi came to the carriage and horse with a few people, Xu Weiyi had not woken up at this time, so Lou Yi asked her to continue to stay on his flying magic weapon, and the man who was the leader was very excited, and stepped forward to hug his fists and said, "Thank you two Taoist friends for your great help, Yang Jiazirong has thanked a few here." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
At this time, other people also came over, clasped their fists and said in unison, "All the brothers of Yangjiatun, thank you for saving your life......
There was also a sound in the carriage, some dolls poked their heads out of it, looked at Lou Yi and Pulsatilla curiously, and a few old women got down from the beast cart, and came to salute in front of the two of them with the support of those children of the Yang family.
This made him and Pulsatilla very embarrassed, and repeatedly said that there was no need for this, at this time Yang Zirong stepped forward and said to the two, "I don't thank you for your kindness, but there is something I have to remind the two Taoist friends." ”
Lou Yi saw his solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Zirong sighed and said, "We are originally from Astragalus Town at the foot of Leli Mountain thirty miles away, and we are all members of the Yang family......
Yang Zirong began to recall what happened at the beginning, according to him, their tunzi was not in the town of Astragalus, but was located at the foot of a big mountain in the west, and existed as a family alone, and he was the acting patriarch of this tunzi.
What no one expected was that one day ago, a lot of people suddenly came outside Tunzi, and there were thousands of people, claiming to be Xu Mingyuan's horse gang, saying that the surname here would be Xu in the future, and let everyone in the Yang family roll up and get out.
Because there are a lot of people on the other side, and the leader is this dead mountain bandit leader, this person's surname is Luan Ping, who is the herald in the hands of Xu Mingyuan, and he is also his most loyal dog.
More than 1,000 people surrounded Tunzi, probably because they thought that their Tunzi was not easy to deal with, so they didn't do it immediately, and Yang Zirong was able to escape with them.
But in the end, the news leaked out, and the other party knew about it, and now he led people to surround them, so there was the scene just now.
Lou Yi remembered the tall bald man at the beginning, he seemed to be called Xu Mingyuan, it seems that he really offended a ruthless character, this person is one of the three major bandit leaders, before Zhang Leshan became a monk in the Yuan Infant Period, this Xu Mingyuan has been called many times.
Now that Zhang Leshan dominates the surrounding mountains, he has become Zhang Leshan's vanguard again, Lou Yi thought of the things that the five prisoners in the north asked for, and a plan slowly came to mind.
This Xu Mingyuan has more than 10,000 subordinates, occupying dozens of mountains, others are cunning rabbit three caves, and he has at least 1,800 secret passages to escape, and the surrounding mountains and underground are all secret passages dug by them, Beiwu Sect has encircled and suppressed several times, but he has easily avoided them, and then retaliated against the surrounding towns and villages, causing a large number of casualties in Beiwu Sect.
This also indirectly led to the current situation of the Northern Martial Sect turning a blind eye, and the Northern Prisoner Wukong had the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Period, but unfortunately he lacked skills, so it could not be said that he should split himself into one hundred and eighty sections and throw him in the surrounding towns.
That's why I hope that Lou Yi can penetrate the enemy, because he is new, and the mountain bandits are not so easy to see through his identity, after all, he is not from the Northern Martial Sect, so it is most suitable for him to be an undercover agent.
And now Lou Yi has got an important message, that is, a stronghold of Xu Mingyuan has appeared near Astragalus Town, doesn't it mean that they will attack Astragalus Town recently, such an important information, we must quickly notify the fifth prisoner of the North Prisoner, otherwise it will change later.
Lou Yi immediately told the matter, and Yang Zirong expressed his willingness to take the Yang family boy to help him suppress the bandits together, so Lou Yi asked them to follow him, return to Beishan Fort first, settle the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then discuss the matter of suppressing bandits.
Lou Yi felt more and more that it was a very correct thing to kill those mountain bandits, otherwise once the news came back, Xu Mingyuan would definitely flee when he heard the news, and at that time, with his years of evasion experience, it would be very difficult to encounter such a good opportunity again.
Time waits for no one, Lou Yi didn't stop for a moment, after returning to Beishan Fort, he immediately went to the stone hall of Beishan Fort, but Beijiao Wu happened to be in retreat, and it may take two or three days to come back. Lou Yi felt that this matter would not be in a hurry for a while, since Xu Mingyuan wanted to be silent, he would definitely have to solve the surrounding villages and some tunzi in advance.
At the same time, he will also send people to control the various officials leading to Astragalus Town in advance, and only by being foolproof can he successfully ransack Astragalus Town, after all, Astragalus Town is an important town, and it is also the top five towns within the jurisdiction of Beiwu Sect.
Lou Yi didn't delay for any time, he first greeted the guards at the door, telling them that once the retreat of the fifth prisoner in the north was over, they would immediately come to the inn on the lower floor to look for him.
Lou Yi did not delay for a moment, and hurriedly sent a message to Li Dang, and at the same time asked him to bring his own men and horses and immediately set off for Beishan Fort, and at the same time instructed him to bring Li Chuang with him.
Lou Yi returned to the inn, first handed Xu Weiyi over to Bai Xin to take care of, and he himself set off for Dan City in Beishan Fort.
Although Beishan Fort attaches great importance to refining weapons, but in the same way, the people of Beiwu Sect also need pills, which is also the reason why Lou Yi chose to come over in the first place.
It can save a lot of time to meditate and accumulate spiritual power, and this alone is enough to make those monks flock to it.
What's more, he now has many treasure pills in his hands that even he himself covets, if he refines them into pills, I'm afraid that Beishan Fort will be a sensation, but Lou Yi doesn't want to do this, he came to Dan City for two main purposes, one is to buy auxiliary medicinal materials, and the other is to use the Dan room here for alchemy.
It seems that repairing the injury of the pulsatilla is not a simple matter, in addition to the detoxification of the Moyu Golden Lotus, it is also necessary to refine the Returning Pulse Pill to repair the meridians, as well as the Tuomai Pill to dredge the meridians.
In addition to these two elixirs, Lou Yi also needed to mix the Moyu Golden Lotus with the Demon Flower, the Relief Grass, the Apricot Qi Branch, the Pity Star Grass, and the Kutuo Root into the medicine to refine a Six Quinoa Guiyuan Pill.
The Dan city here is not as big as expected, but although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs.
He just visited four or five stores, and got the remaining few herbs, most of these medicinal materials are to invigorate blood and dispel stasis, relax tendons and veins, so the usual dosage is very large, and the difficulty of buying is naturally not high.
However, the price is not cheap, after all, the lowest of these medicinal materials are the top of the second grade, and even the root of the Kutuo is the top of the fourth grade, and the value does not belong to the general five-grade elixir.
After that, he searched here again, and finally found the most suitable one, paid three thousand spirit stones, and rented a Dan room for three days, which was already a lot of money, but Lou Yi felt that it was worth it, who let him have his own little abacus......
The reason why I chose this place is because the Dan furnace fire here is the most vigorous, and it can melt a six-grade elixir like the Moyu Golden Lotus, and there are some suitable Dan rooms in the others, but they are generally occupied by people.
So it's more expensive, it's more expensive, time is money, but what he is doing now is time, and he is not too short of money.
Skillfully lit the incense that Duanmu Qing prepared for him when he left, and a refreshing aroma slowly filled the entire Dan room, so that Lou Yi's spirit was shocked, and the alchemy must be peaceful, so that the timing of the earth fire and Cheng Dan can be better controlled.
Huimai Dan and Tuomai Dan are both relatively ordinary pills in the second grade, in fact, he can buy them from Dan City, but he knows very well that these pills from Dan City are in very poor condition, not to mention Dan Wen, I am afraid it is very difficult to find ordinary elixirs.
It is better to ask for others than for yourself, not to mention that he was personally trained by Duanmu Qing, an alchemy master, and he cannot be compared with ordinary idle alchemists, and the other is the monk of the Northern Martial Sect, who has always been physically strong, and for them, the quality of the pill is the opposite and not so important.
But Pulsatilla is different, his meridian damage is accumulated over the years, which is a more tricky situation, and the better grade elixir can naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort, so it is imperative to do it yourself.
What's more, with Lou Yi's current level, the second-grade pill has already been captured, and it is no longer a problem to produce three or four high-grade pills out of ten furnaces.
The Dan fire was burning, the liquid medicine melted and flowed rapidly, and under the calcination of the Dan fire, it began to merge together in an orderly manner, Lou Yi did not look at it with his eyes, but enveloped the entire Dan furnace with perception.
This is also the most important part of the alchemist, with the eyes of the fire is inferior, the real masters, are to the heart of the eye to the pill, only in this way can the mind into the elixir, remove all impurities, so as to refine a flawless elixir.
The fierce Lou Yi opened his eyes, and his mouth opened lightly, "Ning......!"
As soon as the words fell, the air above the Dan furnace erupted, the jade plate jingled, something fell into the jade plate, and then the Dan fire disappeared suddenly, the mouth of the Dan furnace opened, and when the medicine mist dissipated, more than a dozen round pills appeared in front of his eyes.
Without exception, they are all high-grade spirit pills with three Dan patterns, and his first furnace refining is the Returning Pulse Pill, which is the lowest difficulty, and the Tuomai Pill is slightly more difficult than it, but with the success of the former, Lou Yi's self-confidence has improved a little.
He opened the furnace again in one go, and soon the Tuomai Pill was also refined, probably because he was in excellent condition today, and the two furnaces of the Pill were top-grade elixirs, which made him more confident.
Sometimes this is the case, self-confidence will make an alchemist perform extraordinarily, and Lou Yi happens to need this, because the next thing he wants to refine is the six-quillis Guiyuan Pill, which is also very rare in the three-grade spirit pill.
This is a challenge for him, a challenge that is not allowed to fail, once he succeeds, he will become a third-grade alchemist, and from then on, he can start refining pills suitable for monks in the Dan period, you must know that in this realm of the Northern Regions, a third-grade alchemist is extremely rare, but Lou Yi is confident that he can succeed this time, because he has practiced countless times in his mind on the way here......
