Time passed unknowingly. Relying on the extremely high elixir-making rate of the Miaoyin Furnace when refining low-level elixirs, the young master spent less than a day refining a furnace using the blood toad corpse as the main elixir. Brand new elixir!
This is closely related to the few words in Old Yan's spiritual thoughts, and of course, the young master poured piles of low-grade spiritual materials into it.
"Yan Lao's skills are really sharp!"
The more this happened, the more Qingyun admired Yan Lao's alchemy skills. The key was that Yan Lao's understanding of spiritual materials was so easy.
This also makes the elixir he refined more or less bear the imprint of Yan Lao.
"If you try to neutralize the toxicity of toad venom by removing the smell, you will lose its original heart-stimulating effect."
Qingyun couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
When he first started refining, he wanted to solve the problem of the poison first, but after several failures, he discovered that toad poison was born, and if it was forced into it, it would inevitably destroy the original balance of the blood toad.
"Poison can be used as medicine, and death can be revived. No wonder Feng Zuo said at that time that the so-called way of life and death is just a cycle between heaven and earth. What they pursue in practice is detachment, but detachment does not mean transcendence, or the so-called Are immortals and demons the real 'overlords'? But if we are obsessed with one side of the scale, wouldn't it lead to the collapse of the entire balance?"
Although Qingyun's heart was still filled with many unknowns and puzzles, the fog in his eyes had dissipated.
He did not dwell on this, because with his low cultivation level, he was very aware of the horror of entering the Tao too deeply.
This elixir refining was just a whim, but despite this, only a few elixirs were produced from the huge toad corpse weighing dozens of kilograms, which once again made the young man lament the waste of the alchemist.
In the end, one of these elixirs was taken orally by him to confirm its medicinal properties, and the rest were collected by the young master for emergencies.
"Sure enough, this elixir still retains some of the blood toad's original toxicity, but it is precisely because of this toxicity that it has become a good medicine that can strengthen the heart and save lives. As for the side effects, it is related to keeping the heart from being injured after serious injuries. That’s nothing compared to that.”
Smashing it again to get rid of the lingering medicinal fragrance in his mouth, Qingyun estimated that this elixir should be able to reach the level of human-level mid-level, but how many levels it can reach depends on professional elixir making such as Xuanzang, Only the institution that sells pills can authenticate it.
"Master, when can I refine a heaven-defying elixir like the Nine Death Pill? Well, what should I name it?"
After scratching his head that lacked imagination, Qingyun muttered to himself, but a cold and beautiful voice came to his ears at the right time:
"Let's take the Blood Toad Pill, it's concise and clear."
"No, let's call it Xue Chan Heart-protecting Pill. You have to tell me its efficacy before you can sell it for money! Hey, eldest sister? When did you come?"
Qingyun felt relieved immediately, but when he saw the other person beside Xiao Luoyi, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately exclaimed:
"Brother Zhong! Why are you here?"
Jade spear, Zhong Xiao!
Zhong Xiao's attire has not changed at all from when he met at the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice. Except for the slight damage to his blue robe, he is as tall and tall as before with the jade spear on his back.
"Haha, I didn't expect that brother Qingyun is also good at alchemy. This is a good business to make money! But I haven't seen you for a few days, and your cultivation has improved again. At this rate, you will have to catch up with me in a few years. Brother, it’s me!”
Zhong Xiao smiled heartily, strode forward and hugged Qingyun. The two of them had indeed not seen each other for ten or twenty days, but they both felt as if they were separated from each other.
Qingyun could smell that Zhong Xiao's body was surrounded by a strong fishy smell and evil spirit, and he was afraid that he had been fighting for many days.
"Brother Zhong, I just have better luck, little brother, how can I compare with you!"
Zhong Xiao was not the kind of person who was pretentious, so he smiled indifferently at Qingyun's flattery and didn't say much.
At this time, Qingyun looked at Xiao Luoyi doubtfully:
"Sister, why did you come here with Brother Zhong?"
"Young Daoyou Zhong got out of trouble one step ahead of us but couldn't get far. He eventually joined the Ershao Gang. But I didn't wait until now to see you since I knew you were recovering from your injuries."
"I see, Brother Zhong is interested!"
Qingyun gratefully gave Zhong Xiao a fist. He had to say that this person was one of the few "real" people he had ever seen.
It’s not that Zhong Xiao has such noble sentiments, but he can understand right from wrong, distinguish good from evil, and never whitewash his mistakes and blame them on others.
Based on this alone, he is much more sincere than many sanctimonious so-called seniors.
Just as Qingyun thought, Zhong Xiao knew that his divine palace was controlled by restrictions, but he still had no trouble, and was even more relaxed and generous than before in the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice.
He patted Qingyun's shoulder gently and said with a smile:
"We can be considered friends after all. Today's Thirty-three Realms are precarious. No one knows whether they will see the sun tomorrow. If you're grateful, just forget about it and just work hard to survive together."
Qingyun could hear that Zhong Xiao's words were still filled with the loneliness of losing a loved one. He had experienced this kind of pain, but he understood that everyone's pain was different, and it could not be comforted by a few words of comfort.
He didn't know what to say, so he made a little joke:
"Fortunately, there is no sun in the Thirty-three Realms."
"Haha, Brother Qingyun is so funny!"
Zhong Xiao's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he started to get down to business, saying in a low voice:
"You must have also noticed the disappearance of Haidailou and Quan Linfeng, right?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing about this matter, Qingyun's face also became a little solemn.
From the fact that he has not forgotten the Magic Sword of the Heavens taught by his father, to the immortal energy in his eldest sister's body that has not disappeared, to the fact that Quan Linfeng and Haidai Tower have disappeared from everyone's memory as if they had never appeared.
All clues point in the same direction.
They really went back in time!
But traveling through time and space is really too weird. Qingyun doesn't dare to draw any conclusions. Even the eldest sister is very secretive about it. She even interrupts her every time she mentions it. You can imagine how terrifying it is.
Zhong Xiao took a deep breath, looked at Qingyun intently for a while, and then said solemnly:
"In addition to greetings, the purpose of my visit this time is also to say a few words to you on this matter."
"Please give me some advice from Brother Zhong!"
"Well, to be honest, your life experience is earth-shattering. The more people know about you, the more dangerous you will be. And what exactly does this danger mean? Have you ever really thought about it?"
"Public enemy of Kyushu."
"You are quite self-aware, kid!"
"Nonsense, young master, I have been worried about this for how many years."
Qingyun cursed with a black line on his belly.
"The problem is that after we experienced that illusion, we all know that the Qilin tooth in Bai Zhizheng's hand must be fake."
"How did Brother Zhong know?"
Qingyun asked curiously.
"I followed Yao Pofeng to attend the four-party meeting two days ago and witnessed with my own eyes the whole process of Bai Zhizheng throwing the pendant to Feixing. However, the pendant was obviously different from the one when Senior Yi gave it to you. It was more like An animal with claws instead of teeth."
Qingyun nodded understandingly. He had heard Yao Pofeng mention this before, but he shook his head with a wry smile:
"I see, hey, I don't hide it from Brother Zhong. In fact, the real Qilin teeth have been damaged a long time ago. I am a mute and eat Coptis chinensis. It's hard to tell!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhong Xiao immediately shook his head with regret when he heard this. However, after seeing Yi Qing's terror, he also gave up his unnecessary greed for Qilin Ya and continued:
"Of course I will keep your secret for you, but the key is where are Haidailou and Quan Linfeng?"
"how do I say this?"
Qingyun frowned suddenly.
"Just imagine, Quan Linfeng and Haidailou seem to have never appeared in the Thirty-three Realms. If we really go back to the past and change some existing realities, does that mean that they are still alive, or even already Are you still alive now?"
"Are you saying that Haidailou might still be trapped in Yiren Mountain?"
Qingyun asked in shock, while Zhong Xiao's face became more and more gloomy:
"That's right! And Quan Linfeng was unscathed at the time. What you don't know is that Quan Linfeng possesses a wind spirit body. Because of this extremely rare and powerful physique, it has long been regarded as a key training target by the Kuixing Sect. If not, how could he How about getting the Flying Eagle Sword that has reached the exotic treasure level? This is a treasure that even Yuan Hua Realm monks are coveted! Becoming a disciple of Guihai Cave is just a kind of experience."
"So what? He doesn't know my identity, let alone my father's identity. At most, he will only rescue Haidailou. Besides, there is a barrier around my house, and the Guiling Realm monks may also force their way in!"
"Having said that, the Kuixing Sect is good at the art of Tianyan, and is even more proficient in astrological divination. They can restore the true nature of things from many clues. Although I heard that they can't deduce things in the small world, they can pass through the mysterious things. By capturing the existence and laws of the world, we can always deduce you who existed in the past by tracing back to the source. Don’t you think that’s scary?”
"There is such a thing!"
Qingyun exclaimed again.
"He's right."
Xiao Luoyi also stared in agreement, and then said.
"That's why I never mentioned it."
Zhong Xiao nodded towards Xiao Luo, his eyes full of admiration:
"Fellow Daoist Xiao has thought carefully. Quan Linfeng is very likely to be alive now. He may have investigated us in the past few years and even went to Yiren Mountain to rescue Haidailou."
Qingyun's brain was running rapidly, and he even put forward different opinions:
"What Brother Zhong said is very reasonable, but there is still one biggest question, that is, if Quan Linfeng is really alive, he should come to the Thirty-three Realms, at least someone from the Kuixing Sect or Guihai Cave should come. Let’s investigate here. But after I inquired inside the Spiritual Mirror Sacrifice later, I didn’t find any of their people. Could it be that they all died outside?”
"This is what I can't figure out, but having said that, be careful and don't blame Brother Zhong for being nagging. It's best not to inquire about the truth of this matter easily. If you can, try not to set foot in Qingzhou. At least you have to wait until you have condensed your soul before getting involved carefully, remember!"
