Chapter 9: The Valley of Earth and Fire

Among the five major sects in Jianzhou, Yuntian Sect is not the strongest, although several major sects have been in constant disputes, but the other four major sects have never been at odds with Yuntian Sect.

Yuntian Sect is the largest alchemy sect in Jianzhou, and it is established with the art of alchemy, and the rest of the major sects need to buy elixir from Yuntian Sect every year, so that no one is really willing to offend it.

As for Jianzhou's loose cultivation, they are even more polite to Yuntian Sect, only a small part of them are good at alchemy, almost most of their elixir comes from Yuntian Sect, if they offend Yuntian Sect, it means that the source of the elixir will be cut off from now on, and who will not be able to live with their future?

In order to encourage disciples to learn the art of alchemy and carry forward the alchemy skills of the sect, Yuntian Sect treats the alchemists in the sect very favorably, so the atmosphere of learning alchemy in the sect is particularly prosperous, and almost all the disciples of the foundation are good at alchemy.

Yuntian Sect divides Dan masters into four levels: Alchemist, Alchemy Master, Alchemy Grandmaster, and Alchemy Grand Master;

The alchemist can receive a hundred spirit stones from the sect every month, and if he helps the sect to alchemy, there will be additional spirit stone subsidies, so whether it is to buy spirit pills for more spirit stones or to refine spirit pills for himself, Xu Qing must become an alchemist, so that there is the possibility of advanced foundation building.

The Earth Fire Valley is located between the peaks of Tongtian Peak, Chaoyang Peak, and Danyang Peak, the terrain is low and concave, and the earth fire resources are very rich, so Yuntian Sect spent a lot of manpower and material resources to open up a lot of alchemy rooms and a small number of refining rooms, and many Dan masters in the sect lived directly in the Earth Fire Valley in order to facilitate the refining of pills.

Xu Qing's task this time was to help an uncle surnamed Xiao choose the elixir needed for alchemy, and this Uncle Xiao lived in the Earth Fire Valley, he simply packed his bags and went to the Earth Fire Valley.

"Disciple Xu Qing has seen Uncle Xiao. After Xu Qing asked others about the living room of his uncle surnamed Xiao, he went straight to it. In the living room was an old man of about sixty, and his hair was already white, but Xu Qing didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest, after all, there was a difference between the Qi refining period and the foundation building period.

"You're at the fifth level of Qi refining at a young age, you should be a core disciple, right? What are you looking for the old man?" Xiao Ming looked at Xu Qing and asked.

"Uncle Shi is very clear, the disciple is indeed a core disciple, because he has taken over the task of the sect, so he will be responsible for selecting elixir for Uncle Shi in the future. Xu Qing replied.

"Huh, one of your core disciples came to choose the elixir for me?" Xiao Ming was very surprised to see that a core disciple actually took the task to help him choose the elixir, the core disciple has a very high status in the sect, and there is almost no precedent for the core disciple to surrender himself to receive the sect's task, so he wondered.

"The spiritual root of the disciple is not good, and being able to become a core disciple is just a legacy of the ancestors, if you simply rely on the elixir received by that sect, I am afraid that it is hopeless to build a foundation in this life. The disciple heard that his uncle's alchemy skills were superb, so he thought that if he could follow his uncle, learn his uncle's elixir skills and become an alchemist, then he would be able to build a foundation. "Xu Qing has been in order to let those martial arts people teach him some foreign kung fu since he was a child, and he has not said much flattery, so it is not difficult for him to say some flattering words, but Xu Qing also knows how to stop in moderation, and blind flattery will only backfire.

"Hmph, your kid's mouth is quite sweet, you can not only receive the sect spirit stone, but also learn the art of alchemy, you can think of such a good thing, do you still want to embezzle so many pills that I have refined?" Who doesn't like to listen to flattery, I heard that Xu Qing said that his alchemy skills are superb, Xiao Ming's heart is naturally very comfortable, but in order to maintain his uncle's demeanor, there is no slightest difference on his face.

"This... The disciple would never dare to fight the idea of the elixir of the uncle, unless the uncle succeeded in refining the elixir and rewarded the disciple, the disciple would never swallow a spirit pill privately. Xu Qing could naturally see that Uncle Xiao was not angry at all, but he still assured him seriously.

"But, there is one thing you seem to have forgotten?" Xiao Ming was speechless for a while, which of the disciples who had chosen the elixir before was not trembling, who dared to talk to him like this? It is good to be honest that he does not dare to swallow the elixir privately, even if he really fights this idea, no one will honestly explain it, but the key is that Xu Qing said that the success of the elixir refining will reward him with some elixirs, if he does not reward him, does he seem to be stingy?

"The disciple doesn't know, please ask Uncle Shi to make it clear!" Xu Qinggong said, at this moment he looked like a well-behaved disciple who respected the teacher and listened carefully to the teacher's instructions.

"I just need a disciple to help me choose the elixir, and I don't need a disciple to inherit the mantle, I don't have time to teach you alchemy. Xiao Ming smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of conspiracy in that smile.

"How dare a disciple expect his uncle to guide him personally, as long as his uncle lets his disciples watch from the sidelines when he is alchemizing, the disciples will be grateful. ”

"Hmph, you better pray that you won't be driven away by the old man because you chose the wrong elixir, there were several disciples who were driven away before you. You live in the stone room next door, you can take this jade slip and carry it well, whether you can keep it depends on it. Saying that, he threw a jade slip to Xu Qing, and left the stone room with a cold face.

Xu Qing took the jade slip, walked out of Xiao Ming's stone room, and entered the stone room that belonged to him.

There was only a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench in the stone room, and nothing else, but Xu Qing didn't care, for him, as long as there was a resting place to shelter from the wind and rain, it was enough.

The stone bed, the stone table, the stone bench and the entire stone room are integrated, obviously when the stone room was opened up in one go, it can be seen that the original spirit of the Yuntian Sect and how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources were required to build the entire Earth Fire Valley.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the stone bed, put the jade slip on his forehead, carefully probed the contents, and did not move for a long time, before he took the jade slip away from his forehead and let out a long breath.

There are about 1,000 kinds of elixirs recorded in the jade slip, and more than 500 kinds of elixirs recorded in the 100 medicine diagram can be found in this jade slip, and they are introduced in more detail.

"This spirit stone is really not so easy to earn, forget it, I'd better memorize it honestly!" Xu Qing sighed secretly, even if he stepped into the immortal path and his memory increased greatly, he still felt powerless in the face of so much elixir knowledge.

Three days, it took three full days, Xu Qing didn't even step out of the stone room, before he wrote down all the contents in the jade slip, Rao is Xu Qing's conceited memory superman, and he couldn't bear it! But fortunately, Xiao Ming was thoughtful, and there were disciples who brought food over every day, otherwise Xu Qing probably wouldn't be so easy, just eating was a problem.

"I haven't practiced for three days, anyway, there's nothing to do now, let's still cultivate, we can't leave the cultivation behind!" only after writing down the contents of the jade slip, and without taking a break, Xu Qing began to cultivate again, which can not be described as not diligent.

However, not long after he started cultivating, Xu Qing found that the fire attribute aura here was very strong, ten times richer than his original room, and he was secretly happy, no matter what, this rich aura alone was worth the trip.

The next morning, Xu Qing woke up from his meditation and felt refreshed, just when Xu Qing wanted to sigh the richness of the aura here, Xiao Ming's voice suddenly came into his ears:

"No wonder Linggen's qualifications are not good, and he can enter the realm so quickly! Come to my room, I will tell you to do something!"

Xu Qing came to the stone room next door, Xiao Ming didn't wait for him to speak, so he directly threw a token and a jade slip to him, and said:

"I want alchemy, you take the token and go to the sect elixir garden to get the elixir in the jade slip, I'll wait to use it, hurry up, hum, if something goes wrong, think about the consequences yourself, right?"

Xu Qing didn't speak, took the jade slip and token, and without saying much, he left the stone room directly and went to the elixir garden.
