There are really few shops along the way that require technical skills such as elixir shops, spirit beast shops, and weapon refining shops. They are all scattered here and there. There are many teahouses, and many of them have monks sitting inside.
"It seems that the monks of the sect often rest here." Longxin saw that most of the monks of the same color and style of robes were sitting together.
"You forgot, the shopkeeper just said that the shops here are basically opened by sects. It is normal for the monks in the sect to rest in the teahouse of their own sect-" Yan Feiyue said Vice, why did you obey me just now?
"Did the shopkeeper say that? Why don't I remember?" Loong Xin insisted on saying something nonsense.
"Okay, shopkeeper Zhang said, we're at the elixir shop just ahead, you two, stop arguing-" Tong Yi was helpless, these two people could always find trouble.
"Hmph——" After Yan Feiyue challenged Longxin, she took the lead in entering the elixir shop at Chunnongmen. Upon seeing this, Longxin also threw away Tong Yi and walked into the shop menacingly.
"..." Seeing this scene, the waiter in the store did not dare to come forward, for fear of getting into trouble, but the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and said with a smile:
"I wonder how many cultivators want to prepare some elixirs?"
"Do you have ninth-level elixirs here?" Yan Feiyue said in a rush, really not afraid of the wind and flashing her tongue.
"The ninth-level elixir is a valuable treasure and is not available in the store. However, cultivators can customize it. As long as the order is delivered, I, the Chunnongmen, will refine it for the cultivators -" the shopkeeper did not look down on others, and explained very seriously.
"..." This made Yan Feiyue a little embarrassed. She just said casually, who knew there were such amazing elixirs, which made her a little embarrassed.
"Let the shopkeeper laugh, we want to buy seventh-level elixirs, do you have any recommendations?" Tong Yi rolled her eyes at Yan Feiyue, stood up and said humbly.
Although the shopkeeper's cultivation level is not as strong as that of a few others, his vision is not low. He can tell at a glance that these three girls have just come up from the lower world and have never seen seventh-level elixirs. They should want to buy one to show off.
Now that he knew that several people really wanted to buy, the shopkeeper didn't hide his secrets and said:
"The seventh-grade elixirs are equally valuable. They are not displayed in the lobby. Please follow me to the seventh-grade elixir room on the second floor to choose."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took the lead up the stairs, followed by Yan Feiyue and others.
There were ten rooms on the second floor, but all the doors were closed. The shopkeeper walked to the second room upstairs, opened the door, and said to Yan Feiyue and others:
"A few cultivators, please—"
Tong Yi stood at the door and could see inside. There was a half-person-high glazed counter placed around the wall. There were several sets of tables and chairs in the middle. There was nothing else, so she walked in with confidence.
"All the seventh-level elixirs stored in this room are all seventh-level elixirs. The current inventory of seventh-level elixirs is displayed on the counter. If there are still few people who want it at the counter, you may be able to find it in this booklet. You just have to pay first. Only half of the deposit will be handed over to Chunnongmen for refining by a few monks." The shopkeeper said as he took out three jade slips from the counter and handed them to Longxin and the others.
"No trouble, let's go shopping first." Yan Feiyue and Longxin knew little about elixirs, and they always ate whatever Tong Yi gave them.
Tong Yi sat on the chair in the middle of the room and looked through the list of elixirs in her hand. This jade slip lists all the elixirs that can be refined by Chunnongmen from the seventh to the ninth level. The order is: High to low, varied. Some elixirs that originally only appeared in family inheritance books are also included in this directory:
Pedihu Dan can suppress and dissolve inner demons; Xiong Dan can grow flesh, expel pus, and eliminate blood congestion; Ephedra Dan can remove evil heat, reverse qi, and break accumulation, etc. .
Looking at the price of the ninth-level elixir, it was so expensive that it would bankrupt them. Tong Yi calmed down her pounding heart and continued reading.
Sure enough, seventh-level elixirs were much more normal. Tong Yi finally saw what she wanted and said, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if the Angelica dahuricae elixir is available in stock in the store?"
"The Angelica dahurica elixir in the store is of various grades. The higher the grade, the less likely it is to survive. A top-grade elixir costs five thousand spiritual stones for a medium-grade elixir. A top-grade elixir costs three thousand spiritual stones for a medium-grade elixir. A mid-grade elixir costs two thousand for a medium-grade elixir. A thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, a low-grade elixir, and a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones. I wonder which grade the cultivator wants?" the shopkeeper introduced.
"May I ask the shopkeeper, can cohosh be mixed into the Angelica dahurica elixir?" Tong Yi didn't see it in the introduction of the elixir, so it was better to ask just in case.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that this was a knowledgeable person, and replied seriously: "Replying cultivator, there is no Cimicifuga spiritual grass in the Angelica dahuricae elixir. The elixir that Taoist friends said was refined with the addition of Cimicifuga, is called Angelica dahuricae and Cimicifuga." Dan.
Angelica dahurica belongs to the yang category, and is the medicine for inducing the hand Yangming meridian; when used together with Cimicifuga, it can pass through the Yangming meridian of the hands and feet, and also enter the Taiyin meridian.
The main medicine of Angelica dahurica and Rhizoma elixir is two thousand-year-old seventh-level spiritual plants, so the price is doubled compared to the single product of Angelica dahurica and Rhizoma elixir. The top-grade elixir costs ten thousand medium-grade spiritual stones - "
"..." So expensive! This is the common sentiment of Yan Feiyue, Tong Yi, and Longxin.
"We want three pieces of top-quality Angelica dahurica and Cimicifuga Dan." Tong Yi said directly without hesitation.
Bai Zhi Xiang Dan has the effects of relieving pain, reducing swelling and pus, drying dampness and stopping vaginal discharge. It is most suitable for female cultivators like them who are new to the country and are not accustomed to the acclimatization and are accompanied by various discomforts.
Although the elixir was very expensive, they still had to buy it, firstly for her research and study, and secondly because the three of them did have some discomforts.
"Fellow Taoist, sit down for a moment. I'll get it for you right now." The shopkeeper walked to the innermost position of the counter, took out three jade boxes, placed them next to Tong Yi, and then asked:
"What else do these cultivators need?" He could tell that this was the knowledgeable person who made the decision, and the remaining two were just here to join in the fun.
"With all due respect to the shopkeeper, we would like to inquire about the situation of Chunnong Sect's recruitment of disciples?" Tong Yi asked this question, which was considered a decision, and she finally entered the most important stage.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper finally understood that this was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking!
"Several cultivators sit down and drink spiritual tea. Listen to me slowly." The shopkeeper also sat down and took a sip of tea before speaking:
"Chunnongmen is the most authoritative sect for refining elixirs and cultivating spiritual plants. The rules for recruiting disciples are slightly different from the other three first-class sects on Zhongda Road. Chunnongmen mainly recruits monks with earth spiritual roots and wood spiritual roots.
For example, monks with four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots who have wood spiritual roots will be accepted as outer disciples. The usual task is to take care of some spiritual plants below level three; you can also take on some sect tasks and go out to collect herbs; or you can work as a handyman in the elixir shop opened by the sect. Outer disciples have a fixed monthly schedule and will be rewarded based on the completion of the tasks they receive.
Monks with double spiritual roots and three spiritual roots who have wood spiritual roots will be accepted as inner disciples. They have to take care of some fourth to sixth level spiritual herbs on weekdays. There is also a school inside to teach inner disciples how to refine six levels of spiritual herbs. For elixirs below level 1, you can also take on some sect tasks and go out to collect medicines.
Sixth-level elixirs are a benchmark for inner disciples. If you refine a sixth-level elixir of the highest quality, you can be directly accepted by the elders as your direct disciples. The monks who can refine the sixth-level elixir, but are still unable to refine the sixth-level top-quality elixir, can continue to study in the sect, or work as a steward within the sect, or work in the elixir shop outside the sect. Man, this is the case for me.
As for direct disciples, only monks with single spiritual roots of the wood system and single spiritual roots of the earth system can be directly accepted as direct disciples by the master or elder. The teacher will teach them step by step, from the lowest level of elixir refining to the fourth ring. The ninth-level elixir, the highest level in the mainland, will definitely be given to everyone.
For example, the seventh- and eighth-level ordinary quality elixirs in our store are refined by these direct disciples; but the seventh- and eighth-level top-quality elixirs, as well as the ninth-level elixirs, are all made by masters or elders. Refined. "
The shopkeeper's mouth went dry as he spoke, so he took a sip of the spirit tea and continued:
"It's not yet the recruitment meeting that happens every fifty years. Even though there are only monks with single spiritual roots, they will be recruited as direct disciples under the exception. In any other situation, it is impossible -"
"I see. I dare to ask the shopkeeper, how is the development of alchemy in other sects?" Tong Yi asked.
"The remaining three first-class sects, Wanze Sect, are not good. They are just like us at the Nong Sect. They develop in a single discipline or focus on beast control. Most of the elixirs needed in the sect are purchased from our Chun Nong Sect.
As for the first-ranked Tanzhongmen and the second-ranked Fulinmen, they also have the top ninth-level alchemists from Zhongda Road, but the number is much less than our Chunnongmen, one or two is enough. The master of Fulinmen’s Medicine Refining Hall is also the direct younger brother of our Chunnongmen master! "
"How do you say this?" Longxin suddenly became energetic and smelled the smell of gossip.
The shopkeeper felt quite unnatural by this eager expression. He touched his beard sheepishly, and then said:
"The old sect leader of Chunnong Sect is named Chun Yonggen. He has two direct disciples. The eldest disciple is named Chun Yan, and the second disciple is named Chun Bai. After the old sect leader ascended to the throne, the eldest disciple Chun Yan was appointed as the new leader. The second disciple, Chun Bai, became the great elder. At first, the relationship between the sect leader and the great elder was relatively close, but later they parted ways due to disagreements in their ideas.
The head of Chunyan has always been mature and prudent, advocating a steady and steady approach; the Great Elder often introduces new things and is unconventional. During a private discussion, the two quarreled without knowing what happened. The leader ridiculed the great elder for his whims, and the great elder ridiculed the leader for sticking to the rules. Not long after this happened, the great elder left the sect.
Unexpectedly, within a few years, Fulinmen announced that Chunbai, the great elder of Chunnongmen, had become the master of their medicine refining hall. But at the beginning, the two of them were just unhappy for a while, and now they still get together to study elixirs——"
"So, this Chunbai alchemy master is now both the master of Fulinmen's alchemy hall and the chief elder of Chunnongmen?" Yan Feiyue asked curiously.
"Yes, the alchemy masters on Zhongda Road are still very united. They all agree that alchemy is a small way. Only by learning from each other and making progress together can we achieve the great road."
"The master is the master! These words are really grand!" Loongxin felt that these were worthy of being famous figures, and they were all spokespersons for the truth!
