In order to test the true strengthening effect of the strengthening liquid, in the next period of time, Yang Shao did not take the remaining three small pieces of strengthened Qi Pills, but put them into a slightly better white porcelain bottle and sealed them.

In the next few days, when the master went to Qingmiaoguan, Yang Shao found a few medicine bottles that originally contained the same texture as Qi Pills, and in the middle of the night, he took the incense burner out to refine two bottles of strengthening liquid.

One bottle was used immediately, and the remaining complete Qi Pills were strengthened by six or seven pills according to the proportion of the enhancement liquid, and they were placed in different medicine bottles. Then I tried them one by one, and as a result, I accidentally rushed to the third layer of the air entrainment period, but I probably tried it out.

Because the strengthening liquid is relatively viscous, the smallest drop is the size of a small fingernail, so that a drop integrated into the air entrainment pill is enough to have a tenfold strengthening effect. But the smaller the amount of drops, the faster and easier it will be to refine after swallowing it into the stomach. On the contrary, the slower it is, the harder it is, and there is even the possibility of wasting it or something dangerous.

Half a month later, Yang Shao found that if the intact pill had been strengthened, it could be stored for nine days, after slicing, it could only be stored for about three days, and if the pill was strengthened after being sliced, it would have no effect at all, and there was nothing dangerous.

And a bottle of intact enhancement liquid can only be stored for nine days. If the bottle is opened a few times in between, it can only be stored for a maximum of seven days. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will fly away completely, perhaps the gas will disappear.

At present, Xuandu Zhenren has only provided three bottles of Qi Inducing Pills, and has not given any other pills. The external body refining soup is also precious, Yang Shao tried to mention it once, but Xuandu Zhenren ignored it, it seems that there is no need to count on it.

As for the spirit stone, there is still the last big one, which can be used to activate the incense burner four or five times, and if you want to get it, you can only rely on the real person of Xuandu, and there is no other way to get it. Therefore, after the initial excitement, Yang Shao also cherished the spirit stone and the enhancement liquid very much, and before the cultivation was the bottleneck, he no longer used the incense burner to refine the enhancement liquid, and only took ordinary qi induction pills.

Xuanguang Temple is located in a high mountain, secluded and hidden, with little contact with the world, and there is also a lot less disturbance from the outside world.

Yang Shao's practice life was regular and boring, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and he had grown from a half-old child to a slender and strong boy with a delicate and handsome face, and his cultivation had also reached the fifth level of the qi induction period. Although it was particularly difficult to hit the bottleneck of the fourth layer, with the help of the strengthened Qi Induction Pill, Yang Shao gritted his teeth and persevered.

In the past three years, every period of time, a month, or two months, Xuandu Zhenren has to go to Qingmiaoguan once, and the number of days of delay is also uncertain. And every time he came back, he would prepare a new Qi Induction Pill for Yang Shao, and sometimes he would give two or three spirit stones, but the quality was not good, just the small one, and the big one never had before.

It's just that this "Gengjin Zhengqi Technique" is a little strange, each time you advance a layer, you absorb more golden points of light, and there are more black points of light. And every time he absorbed some more black light spots, Yang Shao inexplicably had a feeling of panic, as if he was very repulsed by this kind of black light point in the depths of his soul.

In the early morning of the end of March, Xuandu Zhenren's face was gloomy like water, and he solemnly called Yang Shao and Liugang to the study, claiming that he was going to leave Chixia Mountain to travel to the south, as short as one month and as long as a year, and left the two of them with exercises and pills respectively.

What Yang Shao was given was a sixth-to-tenth-layer exercise mantra and commentary, as well as five bottles of Qi Induction Pills, and another bottle of Jiuzhi Pill that he had never taken, which could only be taken after the ninth layer of the Qi Induction Period. In addition to these, there are also ten large spirit stones, which make Yang Shaoxi look beautiful.

Xuandu Zhenren also explained the task that Yang Shao and Liugangshi brothers had to complete together, which was a manuscript with more than 100 kinds of medicinal materials. The two brothers had to collect all these herbs. There are more than 30 kinds, and it is necessary to find seeds and rhizomes of medicinal herbs so that they can be planted.

Behind the Xuanguang Temple, near the foot of the mountain, there is a large medicine garden of more than 100 acres, which is weeded, fertilized, and watered by two handymen every day, but the two brothers must also take turns to supervise and take care of it, and also plant new herbs.

Maybe he stayed in this small place for too long, on the day that Xuandu Zhenren went down the mountain, Liugang happily invited Yang Shao to go up the mountain to collect medicine together, and Yang Shao readily agreed.

The two of them have been to the mountains near Xuanguang Valley, and in the manuscript given by the master, those medicinal materials are in the remote places of Qingxia Mountains, and it takes four or five days to go back and forth, so it is natural to prepare some camp tents and dry food for staying in the high mountains and deep valleys.

The two of them set off on the same day, walked northwest along the mountain from Xuanguang Temple, and walked seventy or eighty miles in two days, but they also gained a lot. In the evening, they camped in a leeward valley, lit wormwood to repel insects, ate dry food with mountain spring water, and after discussion, decided to collect herbs called "tequila" tomorrow.

Although Yang Shao had already read the Qing Miaoguan classic "Xuanqing Medical Dictionary", there was no record of the tequila on it, so he asked: "Senior brother, is there anything special about this tequila where it grows and what is the medicinal effect?"

"I do know that agave is warm and cool, mostly born on cliffs, ten years to give birth to a pair of narrow leaves, need to have a hundred years of medicinal age, its top of a pair of leaf tips rolled up, the middle bud core is narrow red, is the sign of maturity, so it is called agave. This medicine also has a neutralizing effect, can replenish qi and benefit deficiency, so it is mostly used as a medicine for some strong prescriptions, and even as an antidote to some poisons, it is also a rare medicine for refining the body. ”

Yang Shao was taken aback, stroked his chin and thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how various prescriptions and pills are prepared?

"The master only urged me to practice, and I was afraid that I would be distracted and refused to teach this. Liu Gang smiled honestly and said: "I know that there are two places where there may be tequilose, one is the Panshi Cliff in the northwest, and the other is in the Jiguan Gorge in the east, we will go to the Panshi Cliff first tomorrow." ”

As long as you know where it is, it will be easy to do, Yang Shao was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's strange to pick medicine and cross the mountains and mountains, go to bed early!"

"It's still early...... I also know that agave is often accompanied by another good medicine called Stone Elephant Mushroom. It is like a southern elephant with a head and tail and four legs, good like a creature, attached to a boulder, and likes to be in a high and steep place. Some are as red as coral, some are as white as fat, some are as black as lacquer, and some are as green as green feathers, but yellow is as good as purple gold...... The largest is only five inches, weighs one catty, and the small one is only two or three taels, which is one of the main drugs for refining Jiuzhi Pill......"

Liu Gang's words and nagging flared up again, Yang Shao secretly smiled bitterly, pulled up a thin blanket and covered his head and fell asleep, secretly thinking in his heart that in the future, he must learn to prepare his own elixir to assist in practice......

Early the next morning, the two set off together, digging a lot of purple rue flowers and white essence mushrooms along the way, and went to the slope opposite the Panshi Cliff to take a look.

Panshi Cliff is really as its name, from a distance, there are layers of big black stones lying on half of the mountain wall, fortunately, the cliff face does not look very steep, and even can follow the black stone layer on the cliff left and right.

The two of them were looking at the hillside, and suddenly heard a long cry of "vomit", and a big black bird appeared in the sky on the other side of the rocky cliff, with its wings stretched out for two feet, and there were two hunting figures in robes standing on the back of the bird.

In the air a few miles in front of the big bird, another red-robed figure was even more wonderful, stepping on a moon-white flat boat, flying rapidly through the wind and clouds. Whenever the big bird was about to fly close to catch up, the figure flying in the boat would dance in the air with his hands and sleeves, and then the flat boat would scurry, quickly pulling away.

But the big bird seemed to fly faster, and did not hurry or slow, and after a while it caught up, and the figure on the bird's back immediately released a shining light and struck at the figure on the boat.

The figure on the boat had no choice but to resist the counterattack, but he seemed unable to fight in the air, so he had to descend to the deep valley below, and the figure on the big bird also descended behind, so the three figures stepped in the dense jungle treetops, chasing each other, and each time the weapon released in his hand sparkled, he could also outflank in the air.

It's too far away to see the faces of the characters. Yang Shao was very shocked, and couldn't help but murmur and asked, "Senior brother, this ...... Could this be a peerless master of martial arts? Can you do this?"

"Can't! Not to mention that kind of magical weapon that flashes light, it's the kind of big bird that comes when you wave your hand and hides with a wave, where can you have a martial arts master?" Liu Gang glanced at him strangely, shook his head, and suddenly shouted: "Look at it, look at it! That man in black can splash mountains and rocks from so far away with a little finger, it's too powerful!"

Yang Shao said with a wistful face: "If only we were so powerful!"

"Perhaps...... That's the legendary immortal!" Liu Gang also looked in agreement, but he didn't think about what he was going to do after being so powerful, but he muttered to himself with some uncertainty.

Yang Shao didn't hear his words clearly, but suddenly exclaimed, "It's not good!

The two of them turned and ran through the grass in unison, found a pile of rubble, and hid.

Only a moment later, a red-robed figure floated over the hillside in a flat boat, and then swooped down into the mountain forest below, and disappeared in a moment. The big bird glided through the air and circled twice over the hillside, revealing two figures, a man and a woman, both in their forties.

The man's black hair and black robe fluttered in the wind, and several small bags full of patterns hung on his shining belt, and he stood a little forward on the eagle's back with his hands upside down, looking ethereal and dusty, not angry, and the one behind him was actually a middle-aged nun, holding a dust whisk in her hand, her face was frosty, and her eyes were sharp as electricity, and she glanced around condescendingly.

Soon, the big bird carrying the two seemed to have sniffed the traces of the red-robed man, and chased after them again.
