29 The value of the Elixir of Condensation

Although Yanxia Sect is only a small sect of cultivation, its strength cannot be compared with those big sects at all. But the Yanxia Sect is different from other small sects. The sect that has the existence of alchemy masters is always a transcendent existence. Don't look at Zhao Yun, who only has the foundation to cultivate, but even if he is a master of Jindan, he doesn't dare not give him face.

After all, even a master of the Mahayana realm does not dare to guarantee that he will not ask for others. If you don't have a top-notch magic weapon, it may be acceptable, but at a critical moment, if you lack an elixir, you may have to die.

According to legend, a long time ago, a master of the Mahayana realm, because he offended the alchemy master of the year, King Dan, who did not save him when he saw death, and did not give him a life-saving pill, and the master finally died of hatred.

The past does not forget the future teacher, and the fall of that master has also directly made the status of the alchemy master rise sharply. But even so, alchemy masters in the cultivation realm are not common.

Alchemy is not an easy task.

What's more, if you spend too much time studying alchemy, you will neglect your cultivation. Putting the cart before the horse, the gains outweigh the losses. After all, not everyone had an almost crazy interest in alchemy like Zhao Yun and Zhou Yuansheng, and they didn't even care about cultivating the truth.

is different from Zhou Yuansheng's misery, Zhao Yun is extremely talented, if it wasn't for Yanxiamen's first attack, he would inevitably be poached by Luoyanzong like Lu Yuanfeng. However, Yanxiamen has never treated Zhao Yun badly. Since Zhao Yun began to study alchemy, the resources in the sect are always at his disposal. Even, there are rumors that Zhao Yun will be the successor of the head of Yanxiamen.

Zhao Yun naturally made a lot of contributions to his sect, and the triennial pill auction alone not only made Yanxiamen earn a lot of spars every time, but also made Yanxiamen's status second only to Luoyanzong in the area of Luoyan Mountain.

At every auction, almost all the masters in the area of the Smoky Mountains will come to cheer. So every time, the auction is extremely grand and lively.

And this time, it's different.

Not only because of the rumors that the Feiyun Sect sent disciples to participate in the auction and want to point the sword at the Luoyan Sect, but also because Zhao Yun had refined a new elixir: the Yang Mai Dan!

The Pulse Nourishing Pill that can warm up the meridians has no effect on cultivators who have already begun to cultivate the truth. Therefore, the price of Yangmai Dan is naturally not too high.

However, the value of Yangmai Dan is definitely not something that can be measured whether it is worth it or not.

Throughout the ages, nourishing the pulse has always been a major problem.

Zhao Yun's ability to overcome this problem is enough to show his ability to be a genius in alchemy! And if he can refine the Pulse Nourishing Pill, it will be possible to refine a more intelligent pill that warms and nourishes the meridians! Who would dare to say that in time, the high-grade Pulse Nourishing Pill refined by Zhao Yun cannot be used by cultivators who have already cultivated the truth?

Cultivating the pulse is definitely a difficult problem to overcome.

Therefore, no matter how much the Yangmai Pill is worth, many cultivators who are interested in alchemy want to buy one and study it.

"Warm the meridians!" A cultivator who rushed to the Yanxia Sect sighed, "Senior Zhao Yun is really a genius! For countless years, no one has ever been able to solve the problem of cultivating the meridians. ”

"yes. His companion said, "In my opinion, this Pulse Cultivation Pill alone is enough to establish Zhao Yun's status as a senior alchemy master." Perhaps, not only in the area of Luoyan Mountain, but even in the entire Desolate Domain, I am afraid that there are no people who dare to say that their level of alchemy is higher than that of Zhao Yun's predecessors. ”

The previous one pursed his lips and said, "Hey, even if it's the Holy Domain, I haven't heard that anyone has solved such a thing as cultivating the veins." With a sigh of emotion, the man said, "It's a pity that I heard that the Pulse Cultivation Pill is of little use to those of us who have already cultivated the truth. Otherwise, no matter how many spars I spend, I'm willing to buy one. When the time comes, I will see who dares to say that my qualifications are mediocre!"

"Hey, you want to be beautiful. The companion teased, "It really has this effect, and you can't afford to sell you." What's more, it is not a trivial matter to warm and nourish the meridians, and it is not easy for Zhao Yun's predecessors to refine the Pulse Nourishing Pill. Even if it was really possible to refine a vein nourishing pill suitable for cultivators, I am afraid that it would not happen overnight. ”

"Alas, the brother has a point. ”

Not far away, listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Zai's face turned green.

Thinking about it with his toes, he can also understand that if Lu Ye and the others really brought a Yang Mai Pill to participate in the auction this time, they would definitely be able to sell it for a good price.

Secretly glanced at Lu Ye, Lu Ye quickly withdrew his disdainful gaze at Lin Zai, smiled at Lin Zai gently, and said, "The Condensing Pill is not bad, it is not worth more than the Pulse Cultivation Pill." ”

"Uh-huh. Lin Zaidao, "The elixir refined by Fujun can't be worthless!"

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lin Zai's words are not right, strictly speaking, this is not an elixir that he has refined.

And......

Why does it sound like Lin Zai is throwing the pot?

Okay. It's worth it, but she has a good business vision. It's not valuable, it's that the pill she refines is not good, or Zhou Yuansheng's alchemy level is not good, in short, it has nothing to do with her Lin Zai's business vision.

Of course, now is not the time to shirk responsibility, not to mention, the Condensing Pill may not be worthless.

Lu Ye comforted himself, looked at Zhou Yuansheng again, gave Lin Zai and Lu Lao Remnant a look, and whispered to Zhou Yuansheng, "In front of outsiders, you are the master of me and Lin Zai." ”

Zhou Yuansheng was stunned for a moment.

Are you afraid that others will laugh at you for accepting such an unqualified old apprentice?

Apparently not.

Is he worried that his own alchemy level will be known?

But......

Isn't it good to be known that the level of alchemy is extremely high?

You must know that an alchemy master, even if he is just a rookie who is studying alchemy, will be looked at differently in the cultivation world.

Maybe......

Xiao Shizun is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and likes to be quiet?

Well, no matter what the reason is, the little master has commanded, and naturally he must obey it.

Seeing that the closer he got to Yanxia Gate, the more pedestrians there were on the road, Lu Ye resisted the idea of explaining to Zhou Yuansheng.

Lu Ye's idea is actually very simple.

I used to be a Tanhualang, not a good thing, and I may have a lot of enemies. If it is known that the alchemy level is extremely high, and it has also accepted a disciple in the condensation stage, it will definitely attract more attention. At that time, if someone discovers their difference and recognizes their identity as Tanhualang, it may bring unnecessary trouble.

Lu Ye is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, fame and fortune, whether it is a secular person or a cultivator, no one will dislike it. But if fame and fortune will bring trouble to you, it is better to stay away from fame and fortune, and stay away from right and wrong.

Putting aside these thoughts, Lu Ye and the others talked and laughed along the way, enjoying the scenery in the winter of Luoyan Mountain along the way, and finally arrived at the Yanxiamen station before dark.

The Yanxiamen station, which is not small, is already crowded.

Zhou Yuansheng led Lu Ye and the others until they came to a long dragon. "To participate in the auction, you have to go through an audition here. Pills that are not of the highest grade are not eligible to participate in the auction. ”

Glancing at the long queue in front of him, and then looking at the sky, Lu Ye smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's going to be tomorrow morning." After looking around, he found that many people either set up a simple tent or sat on the ground, looking like they were going to spend the night in the field, so he said to Zhou Yuansheng, "I'll just line up here, you can find a place to rest first." ”

"I'll do it anyway. Zhou Yuansheng said.

Lu Ye said with a smile, "How can there be a reason for the master to line up and the apprentice to rest." ”

Zhou Yuansheng was stunned, his face turned slightly red, and he secretly arched his hand to Lu Ye, looked around again, and said in a low voice, "Under the red lotus tree over there, we are waiting for the master there." ”

"Hmm. Lu Ye nodded.

Lin Zai hugged Lu Ye's arm, "Husband, I'll accompany you." ”

Lu Ye laughed, "Okay." ”

Lin said it sounded good, but he couldn't stay at all. After queuing for a while, he said to Lu Ye, "I'll go to the front and have a look." With that, he walked towards the front of the group.

Lin Zai walked forward, secretly paying attention to everyone around him.

I've been wandering around the sea of people for a long time, and I haven't found the person I'm looking for.

"That kid...... Didn't come?" Lin Zai muttered in his heart, a little unwilling, but still continued to search.

She was a little uneasy.

The appearance of that teenager is definitely not a good thing!

Something that can't afford to be early!

What is he doing here in the Smoky Mountain? If it's just to fish in troubled waters and harm a few cultivators, then that's fine. But what if it's for yourself?

It's not a big possibility, but it's not impossible!

Lin Zai searched for a long time, but I don't know if it was because the young man was not here, or because there were too many people, he couldn't find it.

With a wry smile, Lin then followed the line to find Lu Ye and continued to line up with him.

Lu Ye expected it to be true, and sure enough, he queued up until the next day.

Although as a cultivator at the first level of Qi refining, it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a day or two, Lu Ye still felt a little tired.

When the sky was bright, it was finally my turn.

The cultivator who was in charge of the sea selection pill raised his eyes and saw Lu Ye, and a look of contempt appeared in his eyes.

What valuable elixir can a cultivator at the first level of Qi refining come up with?

Probably another guy who came over to fool around.

"Bring it!" the cultivator's tone was a little indifferent and bored. After all, he was tired all day, and he was a little impatient to deal with those cultivation rookies who took some basic pills to join in the fun.

Lu Ye carefully took out the Divine Condensation Pill and handed it to the cultivator.

The cultivator glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Three-grade elixir?

Well, that's a real underestimate.

However, before the approving gaze on the cultivator's face could be revealed, it turned into confusion again. "What are you...... What elixir?"

"Condensing Pill. ”

"Condensing Pill?"

"A cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi refining, taking this pill can condense the divine consciousness and make it easier to condense the veins. Lin interjected again.

The cultivator was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Lu Ye, and then at Lin Zai, the corners of his mouth twitched. "I say, you two, are you kidding me?"

Next to the cultivator, a middle-aged cultivator who reviewed the pill with him was also stunned when he heard the word Concentration Pill, took the pill, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's really the Concentration Pill, well, it's a very pure ancient refining method." According to historical records, more than 1,500 years ago, almost all the methods of cultivating the true heart had a drawback, that is, after refining the ninth layer of qi, the cohesion of the divine consciousness was not enough to reach the point of condensing the veins, so it was extremely difficult to condense the veins. It is precisely because of this that the Ning Shen Dan came into being. Back then, the Ning Shen Pill was an extremely precious elixir. ”

The young cultivator from before said with a smile, "But the problem is that more than 1,500 years ago, after the Venerable Yunxing made the method of condensing the sea of clouds public and reaching the condensation vein, the Condensing Pill was worthless. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ye's face changed several times.

Lin Zaisang's face was red, his lips trembled, and he peeked at Lu Ye carefully, wanting to say something to shake the pot, but he didn't know what to say. She really wanted to tell Lu Ye that her cultivation was not high back then, and it was the first time she came to the cultivation realm. At that time, it was fifteen hundred years ago! At that time, the Divine Concentration Pill was really valuable!

Now the Condensing Pill is worthless......

You can't blame yourself for that!

Blame that little lover of yours! I'm idle and have nothing to do, and I don't want to talk nonsense about "getting used to the sea of clouds to reach the condensation vein"!

Lin Zai felt very wronged.

Although he has not returned to the Demon Realm since he came to the cultivation realm for the second time, at that time, he was already a master, and he was not a cultivator, so he didn't care about the matter of "Qi Qi Yun Hai", and he didn't pay attention to the price of the Divine Pill, which was really normal!

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Cousin?"

Lu Ye was stunned, followed the sound, but saw Lu Yuanfeng.

"Well, cousin, you're here too. Lu Ye said.

Lu Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said, "In this year's auction, there are too many people, Yanxiamen can't be busy, my uncle caught me to help, there is no way." You're here...... Is there an elixir to be auctioned?"

"Uh......" Lu Ye was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Lu. The two people in charge of the audition actually got up and saluted Lu Yuanfeng. The middle-aged cultivator glanced at Lu Ye and said with a smile, "Your Excellency's elixir has passed the audition, you can leave the elixir here and leave your name and divine sense imprint." As he spoke, he flipped through the ledger again and said, "It will be auctioned in the twenty-sixth place." ”

Lu Ye couldn't react a little.

However, looking at the respectful attitude of those two cultivators towards Lu Yuanfeng, and thinking about the relationship between Lu Yuanfeng and Zhao Yun, it is not difficult to figure out the reason why his Divine Condensation Pill can pass the audition.

A man wants a face, and a tree wants bark.

Lu Ye was really embarrassed to auction an elixir that had been abandoned by the times.

However, since they have been kind enough to pass it, it seems a little inappropriate to take the pill back by themselves.

At this time, when Lu Ye was hesitant, Lu Yuanfeng glanced at the pill in the hand of the middle-aged cultivator, and was a little surprised, "It turned out to be a third-grade spirit pill." Lu Yuanfeng was not proficient in alchemy, and she didn't see the effect of this elixir at a glance, but she was quite surprised that Lu Ye could take out the three-grade elixir.

Lu Ye was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Zai.

Lin Zai smiled at Lu Yuanfeng, "Hehe, sister, don't delay your busyness, let's go first." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Lu Yuanfeng to speak, and just pulled Lu Ye and left.

After walking a long way, Lu Ye finally couldn't help it and said, "Let's get the pill back." ”

"Take it back and do it. Lin Zai said, "Maybe there are fools who don't have long eyes who will buy it." ”

"Ahem. Lu Ye was a little crying and laughing, glanced at Lin Zai, and just wanted to speak, but saw Lin Zai raise his left hand.

"Stop. Lin Zai said, "I know what you want to say, but you don't blame me for this." I haven't paid attention to the low-grade pill market for many years. If it's a high-grade pill market, I'm definitely not mistaken. ”

"Okay. Looking at the crowded mountains and forests, Lu Ye said again, "Is there any fool who would buy the Condensing Pill, I don't know." But I don't think there's much point in staying here, so let's just go home. ”

"What's the hurry, I'm here, it's good to take a look. Lin said again.

......

The place of the audition.

A cultivator shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "What do you mean! A useless Condensing Pill can pass, why can't mine? Is it because people have a relationship?!"

The middle-aged cultivator in charge of the audition looked at the man and smiled coldly and said, "I'm sorry brother. The one who took the Condensing Pill was a distant relative of Uncle Zhao Yun. Do you think I should give Uncle Zhao Yun a face?"

The shouting cultivator was stunned for a moment, and was speechless.

Saying that it shouldn't be, wouldn't it offend Zhao Yun?!

That is the alchemy master recognized by the Falling Smoky Mountain and even the entire Desolate Domain!

Not to mention his distant relative, even his dog took a bone to participate in the audition and was passed, it should be! Who dares to guarantee that the bones of the Zhao family's dog have not been cultivated in the alchemy room of Zhao Yun's predecessors?

Of course, this is a joke between the cultivators who participated in the audition.

No one dares to offend Zhao Yun, it shouldn't and shouldn't!

That's the reason.

The middle-aged cultivator sent away the shouting person and continued to review the pills.

The level of the pills participating in the audition this year is a little higher than in previous years, but it is still the same as in previous years, and there are still many people who take a broken pill to fool them.

Thousands of people, thousands of pills, after screening, there are only twenty-eight pills that are eligible to participate in the auction. One of them was passed through the back door.

With a sigh, the middle-aged cultivator endured his exhaustion and finally finished his work.

By this time, it was already noon.

After cleaning up, he took the young cultivator back to the sect and handed over the account book and pills to the sect elders.

The elder checked the account book, and when he saw the words "Condensing Divine Pill", he couldn't help frowning, and then took out the Condensing Divine Pill from the elixir, and his face changed. "I said, what do you two mean? What's going on with this Divine Pill?"

The middle-aged cultivator smiled bitterly, "Uncle Zhao Yun's distant relative brought it, what do you say I should do?"

"Uh......" The elder was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Ning Shen Pill, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, Zhao Yun's nephew's face, I still have to give it......" and pondered for a moment, "In this way, the reserve price is a second-grade spar." You find two more cultivators who are familiar with each other, wait until this Condensing Pill comes out, and give a random price, don't you ...... The maximum can not exceed one third-grade spare. ”

The middle-aged cultivator smiled bitterly and said, "The third-grade spar is too high, isn't ......it? It's really useless, although it's a third-grade elixir, but, I suspect, no one wants a first-grade spar. ”

"Well, of course I do. The elder said, "Tell you Master Li...... Just say...... Let's just say that the refining method of this Condensing Pill is full of ancient meaning, and it is an extremely authentic ancient method, which is very rare. ”

But the ancient method of cultivators who know a little about the history of alchemy has become a reason for publicity?

All right.

The middle-aged cultivator smiled.

always have to give Uncle Zhao Yun a face.

It's just that, wouldn't doing this ruin the reputation of the pill auction?

Forget it, this is not a problem that a junior should consider.
