Chapter 36: Dancheng

Tong Yan came to the medicine garden today mainly to find Tong Chen and tell him about letting him escort the caravan, and after reprimanding him for a few words, he said to Tong Yan who was standing next to him: "Yan'er, you go back first, leave the list of medicinal materials you need, and I'll have someone send it to you later." โ€

"Yes, father!" Tong Yan saluted Tong Yan respectfully, didn't look at the others, and walked out of the medicine hall with a proud face, and the two subordinates who came with him quickly followed him away.

After they left, Tong Ying sent away a few medicine boys who were gathered at the door to watch the excitement, and then explained to Zhao Lan and Tong Chen his intention to come today.

I heard that Tong Chen temporarily replaced Tong Yan to escort the caravan near Yuquan at home, both Zhao Lan and Tong Chen were very surprised, Zhao Lan is a very traditional woman, as long as Tong Ying's decision is not particularly excessive, she will not refute, and she feels that Tong Yan can hand over such an important matter to Tong Chen, which is also a recognition of Tong Chen, which is something she has been looking forward to, so before Tong Chen can speak, she has already agreed.

Tong Chen is not as simple as Zhao Lan, these days he has also heard of why Tong Yan was seriously injured, it is said that a group of forces have been active around Yuquan recently, specializing in robbing large caravans in the past, there are several cultivators in that group, and one of the cultivators led by him seems to have reached the second realm of agility, Tong Yan seems to have been injured by a punch from that cultivator.

Although Tong Chen's current cultivation is not the same as a few months ago, in the final analysis, he only has the cultivation of the first realm, don't look at the difference between the first realm and the second realm, but there is a difference of 108,000 miles in the middle.

The path of cultivation is to go against the sky, and every step forward is to walk in front of the door of life and death, and the suffering to be experienced in this is definitely not something that ordinary people can understand, and many cultivators try their best to enter the threshold of cultivation, but they can never take a step forward in their lives.

Many people think that cultivation is more and more difficult the later it gets, but they don't know that it is the most difficult at the beginning, especially at this stage of the spiritual period, when the cultivator has just entered the door of cultivation, and his mind is not firm enough.

However, although you can't slack off, you can't be too hasty, cultivating immortals is a matter of course, all aspects are in place, and cultivation will naturally be beneficial, if you are too successful, it will have the opposite effect, which is why Tong Chen has not cultivated during this period of time.

In the eyes of many people, cultivation is to sit there day by day and meditate and cultivate, but in fact this is not the case, cultivators also have their own lives, and cultivation can only be said to account for a large part of a cultivator's life, but it cannot be said to be all! Tong Chen has just stabilized his cultivation in the realm of agility for a long time, and there are many things during this time, so he does not force himself to cultivate, but just plays a set of palm techniques according to the routine after getting up every morning.

It's far away, now let's talk about going back to the gang of forces that have been entrenched around Yuquan recently, the previous gang not only injured Tong Yan and many people accompanying the caravan, but also plundered all the goods transported by the caravan last time, Tong Yan now told Tong Chen to let him escort the caravan, he didn't think this was a good thing, but he hadn't opened his mouth to refuse, but Zhao Lan had already agreed, Tong Chen had no choice but to acquiesce, and at the same time prayed in his heart not to let him meet that gang of forces, he couldn't deal with cultivators with the cultivation of the two realms of agility, the two were not the same level at all๏ผ

After telling Tong Chen's mother and son about this, Tong Ying asked Zhao Lan to prepare medicinal materials for him according to Tong Yan's prescription and sent them over, after hesitating for a while, Zhao Lan finally refused, and told Tong Yan that the medicine garden was going to open the furnace for alchemy tonight, Tong Ying looked suspicious after hearing this, he thought that Zhao Lan was going to try alchemy in person, although he didn't believe that Zhao Lan could succeed, but he didn't say anything more about letting Zhao Lan take the medicinal materials to Tong Yan, and soon, Tong Ying left the medicine garden.

That night, the alchemy room of the medicine garden.

Zhao Lan personally took Tong Chen into the alchemy room, but she didn't know that Tong Chen had entered this room more than once, and he had also used the Dan furnace and alchemy fire inside.

The medicinal materials used for alchemy have already been carried into the alchemy room and placed next to the Dan furnace, Zhao Lan's original intention was to stand aside and give Tong Chen a hand, but Tong Chen planned to use the Ziyang True Fire that he had already absorbed in his body to refine the Dan this time, how could he let Zhao Lan stand by his side?

After Zhao Lan came out of the alchemy room, Tong Chen walked to the medicine basket where those herbs were placed, grabbed a few handfuls of herbs and smelled them, and couldn't help frowning, he naturally didn't look down on these herbs, but he wouldn't give out his own medicinal materials to help the Tong family alchemy, in a word, he didn't have such deep feelings for the Tong family.

Casually took out the herbs in the medicine basket and divided them into categories, Tong Chen visually inspected them, these herbs together can almost refine two furnaces of pills, as for how much time it takes to refine these two furnaces of pills, it depends on the power of the Ziyang True Fire that he has absorbed in his body!

Reaching out to remove the lid on the Dan furnace, Tong Chen first lowered his head and glanced inside the Dan furnace, and then put several herbs into the furnace in the Dan furnace in turn.

After doing this, he re-closed the lid of the furnace, and then stood in front of the Dan furnace, suddenly, I saw his eyes condensed, his right hand and two fingers stretched forward, and made a mantra in mid-air, and the next second, a wisp of flame with purple light rushed out of his fingertips, without hesitation, Tong Chen directly hit the wisp of fire in his hand into the Dan furnace.

"Hula!"

With his movements, the originally calm Dan furnace was lit up with a raging purple fire, inevitably something went wrong halfway, Tong Chen had already dispersed his divine sense, this Dan fire had just entered the furnace, if the fire was not well controlled, it was possible to drain the medicinal properties of the herbs in the Dan furnace at once, so Tong Chen did not dare to be careless, and his divine sense was tightly locked on the situation in the Dan furnace, so that he could adjust the heat in the furnace at any time.

If there were outsiders present, they would see that the entire Dan room was shining with purple light, and Tong Chen was surrounded by the center of the purple light, his eyes were slightly closed, and his palms were facing the furnace hole in front of the Dan furnace forward, moving left and right from time to time, adjusting the Dan fire in the furnace according to the situation detected by his divine sense.

Two hours later, I only heard a muffled sound in the Dan furnace, followed by a fragrant medicinal fragrance spread in the Dan room, and the Dan was completed!

Although he had long expected that the speed of refining the pill with Ziyang True Fire would be very fast, Tong Chen did not expect that it would only take two hours for the pill to be completed, and he was eager to know how much Huang Ling Pill he had refined in this furnace, so he immediately opened the lid of the Dan furnace and prepared to check it.
