Main text Chapter 74: Refining the Heart (I)
The wolf demon trembled all over. Cold sweat dripped down desperately. Zhou Tingting didn't show any fear at all, she just looked at the other party with bright eyes.
"After that, if you want to leave Bai County, I give you one last chance." Xu Yangyi blew out the smoke gently, watching the blue smoke drifting in the wind, and said calmly: "At that time, you could choose to leave on your own. . But at that time, you must let me leave a mark on your spiritual consciousness, just like Li Zongyuan."
"Yet you chose to come with me."
"Now..." He took a deep breath, stamped out the cigarette butt, and looked at the two of them coldly: "You know where I am, you know that I am being hunted, and you know where the other person is coming from. You don't even have a way out. "
"Follow me or die."
"I am willing to follow you!" As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Tingting bowed immediately: "From the first time I saw you, I knew that only by following you can you give me guidance!"
"A few days ago, I really saw how powerful you are! I believe in my choice!"
Xu Yangyi smiled slightly and tilted his head, while Zhou Tingting walked aside with her lips pursed.
He didn't speak, just looked at the wolf demon quietly.
"I don't know your name yet."
"Cheng, Cheng Jianfeng..." The wolf demon did not dare to look directly at the other party. He lowered his head and said after a long time: "You, why are you telling me this?"
"I just want you to know that I am not a murderous person." Xu Yangyi sighed slightly and said: "Sometimes, some people just choose the worst place at the worst time and appear in So, he has a reason to die."
"If you don't choose. I'm sorry. If you have any last wishes, you can tell me now. I will let you sleep forever without pain. I also promise to help you fulfill your wishes."
The wolf demon's lips trembled.
He is still young. He has never been out of the city, and he has never thought about what a real monk is like.
Now in 2019, he will remember this day for the rest of his life. He saw a real monk.
Ruthless, but affectionate. I am the only god, and I have no faith in gods but no respect for them. They always maintain the greatest confidence in themselves, and anything that affects their cultivation will be dealt with as long as it does not violate their principles.
He knew very well that he was in this situation now.
Have a friendship? No, I just met once and collaborated once. However, he knew the other party's secret and the identity of the person who was chasing him! The other party has ten million reasons to kill him.
If he had Xu Yangyi's cultivation level, he might have already taken action while he was still in the toad's belly.
"I...willing to surrender..." Cheng Jianfeng gritted his teeth, white mist appeared from his seven orifices, and in an instant, a delicate little wolf appeared in front of Xu Yangyi.
Xu Yangyi bit his finger quietly, and a drop of blood dripped on it. Cheng Jianfeng trembled all over, and an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged in his spiritual consciousness.
It's as if... one spiritual consciousness has two thoughts. He could feel that the vague other person also existed in his spiritual consciousness.
Xu Yangyi closed his eyes, everything was ready, and he was just waiting for a few days to start practicing.
Four days later, in the village.
In the cellar of a two-story rural self-built house near a fish pond. Xu Yangyi looked at the ball of silver powder in his palm and pondered silently.
I put it under my nose and smelled it, and a fresh aroma came to my face. It's like the intoxicating fragrance standing in the bamboo forest after a spring rain. However, it is more elegant and longer.
Dip a dab on your index finger, put it in your mouth and taste it. It melts in your mouth, like raindrops entering the water. But it left a taste fresher than any chewing gum in my mouth. It's like opening up all your taste buds in an instant.
This is an airtight cellar. In just three days, Li Zongyuan bought this place. Nothing else, because this family is also in the sauerkraut business, so they have a fairly small cellar.
Seven hundred square meters of space, four meters high. The space that should have been dark and full of peculiar smells is now filled with the faint fragrance of a spring valley. The floor was no longer the cheap slate from the farmhouse, but was instead covered with a layer of solid wood flooring, with a layer of soft scarlet carpet on top. The original energy-saving lamp above the head had been replaced by four or five crystal chandeliers. Several calligraphy and paintings found from nowhere were hung on the wall, which looked elegant but not empty.
Li Zongyuan stood beside him nervously, he had put a lot of thought into decorating this place. However, he knew better that he only survived because of the Dew Grass. If these things cannot satisfy the devil on the other side, then...
In this basement, maybe a long time later, someone will find the corpse of a giant toad that is 20 to 30 meters tall...
"Top grade." Xu Yangyi put the box containing the powder aside with satisfaction and nodded: "Condensing dew grass is born in the middle of the night. When the first sun rises every day, it turns into spiritual energy and disappears. Once it encounters the human body, it will immediately disappear. Withered. Only grows in extremely acidic places..."
He glanced at Li Zongyuan: "I don't want to ask about your secret method. But, you opened up the space in your body in your stomach?"
"Master Mingjian." Li Zongyuan's heart skipped a beat, swallowed his saliva, and said with a dry smile: "The little cultivated gelatin grass has been harvesting gelatin grass for more than ten years. It must be picked with gold wire and placed in a cold place. Only the right container will do...this is a delicate job..."
The implication is, would you like to practice? I can just do these things. I'm still very useful! Don't kill me!
Xu Yangyi smiled slightly. He had no intention of killing the other party from the beginning. Compared with the King of Eternal Alchemy Sutra, Li Zongyuan's life is worthless.
"You proved your worth."
When these words came out, Li Zongyuan felt his whole body relax and almost collapsed on the ground.
Along the way, he was the only one who was truly concerned! He had always worked hard to build a good relationship, but only now did he feel like he was alive again.
The next step... is to see if the contract can be terminated. Although the hope is slim, it still takes a long time, right?
"Where are the others?" Xu Yangyi asked.
"Contacting the school..." Li Zongyuan looked at his face and replied: "Mr. Xu, they are still in the third year of high school... and they have no guidance from famous teachers. Now that you have to retreat, their best choice is to rely on Find a way out in the cultivation university and wait for you to come out."
Xu Yangyi nodded, he really didn't have time to care about others now.
"Next, go buy me a few things." He snapped his fingers: "I told you to remember."
After Li Zongyuan took out his mobile phone, he almost pricked up his ears to listen.
No matter how dissatisfied I am, no matter how much I want to escape, I must not show any of it now!
If he showed it, he was sure that the young man in front of him who talked to him well would definitely not mind letting him relive the nightmare of three years ago.
"Ten pounds of hydrangeas."
"Ten pounds of wood shoots facing the sky."
"One pound of Danzhu fruit peel."
"Three pounds of Wufangzi."
There are more than 20 kinds of ingredients, and the more Li Zongyuan remembers them, the more suspicious he becomes.
These things seem very familiar...
Where have you heard of it?
"Do you remember it?" Xu Yangyi's voice came again. Li Zongyuan immediately calmed down, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "I have remembered it all. Please read it again, Master, and see if there are any omissions."
"Ten jins of Hydrangea, ten jins of Chaotianmu shoots, one jin of Danzhu fruit, three jins of Wufangzi...this, this is!" When he first memorized it, his attention was distracted and he didn't pay attention, but now he read it to himself, When he contacted the Ninglu Grass, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat!
This is the recipe for the Spiritual Elixir!
Some of the ancient formulas are still there today, but only the alchemy technology has disappeared! Smart modern monks turned these elixir recipes into elixirs, or capsules.
During a monk's life, he must not inject too many elixirs or take too many capsules. The medicine is three-point poisonous. If you use too much elixir, although your cultivation will grow quickly, it will cause the medicinal properties in the elixir to block the meridians. Eventually, it will be difficult to recover and your cultivation will stay at a certain level.
However, the alchemy path has been flourishing for thousands of years, and it is by no means a side sect that makes people stop eating due to choking!
Any modern elixir master knows this. The real elixir can be used regularly to repair body damage. Improve your cultivation with caution! However, there is a kind of elixir that no monk can avoid!
That is the elixir specially used for level advancement.
For example, Wang did not know the Hinayana elixir in his hand that could change the world. The ancient name... Foundation Building Pill!
For example, Zhu Hongxue once mentioned the Wheel of Life and Death Pill. Ancient name, golden elixir!
These are the things that any monk really wants to grab! Especially those old immortals who are stuck in the realm of breakthrough and are already facing the end of life and death!
Gu Ling Dan Liquid is one of them!
Any monk who attempts to enter a small realm will encounter "physical barriers", which are invisible but tangible. Only by blasting it can we rush to the next realm.
The spirit-solidifying elixir is to strengthen the degree of solidification of the monk's spiritual consciousness at this moment. After using it, the chance of impact is increased by 10% than usual!
Li Zongyuan looked at Xu Yangyi dumbfounded, and his thoughts changed almost instantly!
If Xu Yangyi is an alchemist, then what's the harm in following him!
Not to mention being a demon pet...he is willing to be a forbidden concubine!
"Any successful monk has a famous alchemist behind him." This famous saying in the cultivation world is by no means groundless!
"Lord, Master..." He felt his voice was drying up. Before, he was filled with sorrow and thoughts of running away, all of which disappeared in an instant. For the first time, he called his master sincerely, his voice trembling: "You, are you an alchemist?"
"No." Xu Yangyi's next words completely shattered his delusions: "I'm just learning."
The expectations in Li Zongyuan's heart plummeted. The feeling of loss after being lifted high and then dropped hard made him unable to help but have a trace of disappointment on his face. Gritting his teeth, he said: "Alchemists need to register at the 'Alchemy Group' branch run by the Alchemy Association. Have you gone? Moreover, I heard that there is also a qualification test. Master... you, your neurons have been developed "
Xu Yangyi was slightly stunned. He had never understood these things. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You should buy the things first. They are available at the Duobao Pavilion branch in Tanshan City."
Li Zongyuan almost vomited blood in his heart.
What's this?
This is because seeing the alchemist's lofty status, he felt excited to try to see if he could make an alchemy!
There are not even 10,000 but 8,000 such monks every year! Penguins are full of these colonies! Don’t have too many of these stupid young men!
The point is, it’s his money that’s spent!
His fate has been linked to Xu Yangyi, so it doesn't matter how much money he spends on training. The master and the demon pet, if the master's level is high, he doesn't mind promoting the demon pet. But what's the point of spending money like this?
"Not enough money..." His throat was sore, and he gritted his teeth secretly: "I only have 10 million... The new car, 700,000, this house, 500,000... The renovation of the cellar, 100,000... Master, a pound of purple sparks is 200,000... Master, it's really not enough!"
"Our funds are only enough to make medicine five times!"
