Cheng Ling and others came to the rear ship building and were greatly surprised. Although the horizontal area of the flying boat is not large, the ship building is divided into several floors. From the bottom of the flying boat to the deck, there are seven floors, and each floor has five rooms.
In this way, each of the four Cheng Lings was assigned a wing. Although the room was not big, only about 20 square meters, it finally had a space to be alone, and the four of them happily moved in.
After Kankan calmed down, the flying boat shook slightly and began to set sail.
The boat was moving very fast. Looking out from the transparent light shield in the cabin, the pier became smaller and smaller in just a few breaths, and finally disappeared completely.
Cheng Ling walked out of the wing and came to the deck, where he saw Uncle Ming standing in front of the flying boat and looking at the sky. He walked over and asked, "Uncle Ming, how long will it take to get to Yuming Fairy City?"
Uncle Ming said: "We are a merchant ship, and we have to stop at some cities to collect materials on the way, so the speed is not faster than other flying boats. It will take about a year to reach Yuming Fairy City."
Cheng Ling glanced at the goods on the flying boat and asked, "Is this a family business? Many of these materials smell like medicine. Could it be that your main business is selling herbal medicines!"
"Young friend, you have a unique vision. Yes, our Zhou family has been in the elixir business for generations. Competition in Tianyun Fairy City is fierce, and most of the resources are monopolized by the elixir alliance. We can only take risks and travel outside to maintain the family business."
"The strength of the Zhou family is pretty good. Just look at the guards. They are all in the Immortal Lord stage, and all of them are carrying long swords. Could it be that they are from the sword cultivating family?"
Cheng Ling's words were not unreasonable. When he got on the flying boat, he saw more than twenty monks. Among them, the old man had perfect cultivation as an Immortal Lord. Most of the other guards were above the middle stage of the Immortal Lord. Only Zhou Yuanbai was at the peak of the early stage of the Immortal Lord. .
In the Immortal World, most forces regard the sect as the most respected one. It is extremely rare for a family force to be able to mobilize so many Immortal Lord Stage disciples at one go.
Uncle Ming smiled and said: "Yes, the Zhou family advocates the practice of swordsmanship. These guards are all disciples of the family, and they are passed down from the same line. Originally, there was no need for so many disciples to escort, but in recent years, the West has not been peaceful. In addition, this Young Master Xing will also go together, and the family will strengthen its protection force."
"I see. You have been doing business abroad all year round, so you must be very familiar with the fairy world. Can you tell me what kind of place Yuming Fairy City is?"
"Yu Ming Immortal City is located in the far west of the Immortal Realm, almost bordering the territory of the Buddha Sect. You may not know that our Zhou family business road originally only reached Xihu Immortal City, but in recent years, a large number of disciples have gone to Yu Ming Immortal City. The more we count, the stronger the demand for elixir resources."
"After thinking about it, the family leader sent the young master to Yuming Immortal City in person, hoping to take the opportunity to open up the trade routes there. Of course, there are many caravans with this intention, not just our Zhou family, but also the Wu family, Yang family and other families They will all go together, and I even heard that even the Dan Alliance is interested."
Cheng Ling nodded and asked again: "What's the situation outside Yuming Fairy City? I heard that strange creatures often appear there."
"Indeed, the reason why few monks go to Yuming Immortal City is because there is an extremely terrifying forbidden land nearby, the Bloody Wasteland!"
"The Bloody Wasteland? Is there any danger there?"
"The Bloody Wasteland is a very small area. The distance between the east and west sides is only a few thousand miles. But the distance between the north and south is far. It is said that it can connect the north and south poles of Zhongyuan Continent."
"Originally it was just a desolate land, but in ancient times the Buddhist sect rose strongly and continuously penetrated into the immortal world, spreading fallacies and heresies in an attempt to win over believers and snatch the luck of the immortal world."
"The Taoist sect naturally refused to give up. This back and forth led to heated arguments and eventually a fight. The bloody wasteland was the battlefield between the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism. I don't know how many years passed, but the two sects continued to have disputes. The great master died in the wasteland. Countless.”
"Many of these people are the best in the two sects. After they die, their inheritance will naturally remain in the bloody wasteland. After tens of millions of years of accumulation, there are countless immortal weapons, armors, and techniques passed down inside."
"Some monks are willing to take risks, hoping to obtain rare treasures and inheritance, and reach the pinnacle of cultivation. Over time, it has become a place for treasure hunting, and disciples of both Buddhism and Taoism flock to it."
"However, the environment of the Bloody Wasteland is extremely harsh. Years of killing have given birth to many strange creatures. They are powerful and murderous, and will attack humans when they see them."
"At the same time, it has also become a natural barrier between the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism. No matter which way you go, you need to pass through the bloody wasteland."
Cheng Ling said: "The distance between east and west is only a few thousand miles, so it should be easy to cross, right?"
Uncle Ming said: "Otherwise, the most dangerous thing about the Bloody Wasteland is its environment. The resentment, murderous aura, and bloody aura accumulated from thousands of years of killing will greatly weaken the monks' spiritual consciousness, and there is not enough immortal energy to replenish it. , consumption will naturally increase, and most people will not be able to stay for too long.”
"Coupled with those strange creatures, it is often easy for people to become disoriented. After entering, it is unknown whether they can escape intact."
Cheng Ling nodded silently. This place felt similar to Black Moyuan, but the latter was more powerful, almost completely suppressing the immortal energy and divine consciousness.
He continued to ask: "Has Uncle Ming ever entered?"
Uncle Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I have been in there, but I only stayed in the outermost area for a month before I couldn't stand the environment inside and came out. I advise you, don't enter easily if you are not completely sure!"
Cheng Ling was noncommittal. Generally speaking, this kind of place is full of crises, but it also represents opportunities. Success or failure depends on your own luck.
The two chatted for a while, and then Cheng Ling left and went back to his own room.
The situation in front of him was not optimistic. Jiang Haoyang wanted to go to Yuming Fairy City, and there were dangerous places like the Bloody Wasteland nearby. No matter what, his combat power still needs to be improved again.
Nowadays, the Mystery of the Sword has reached the peak of 70%, the Mystery of the Five Elements has reached 70%, and the Mystery of Thunder has reached 70%. There will not be much progress in the Mystery in a short period of time. Then change the direction and improve your cultivation. You have been in seclusion for nearly two years. Your soul has reached Immortal Lord perfection. However, your cultivation is only in the late stage of Immortal Lord. In addition, the power of the acupoints has not been opened, so you can improve on the flying boat.
However, there is a problem. It is too slow to improve through self-cultivation alone, so you can only use pills. Originally, at his level, the best auxiliary elixir for cultivation was Zuojun Dan. Unfortunately, he had already eaten it before, so he might as well refine it himself, just in time to improve his alchemy level!
With his mind immersed in the inner space, he went to Hu Yue and asked: "Xiaoyue, how many grades of Yin Yang Pill have you reached?"
Hu Yue said: "Fifth grade!"
Cheng Ling was depressed. The five lines of Yin and Yang Pills were not enough to assist in the cultivation of the Immortal Lord. How could this be a good thing?
Hu Yue thought for a while and said: "Master, actually you don't have to be obsessed with Yin Yang Pill. The Zuojun Pill you gave me last time was very effective. If you add Yin Yang Grass, the Five Pattern Yin Yang Pill can also satisfy the Immortal Lord." Practice regularly.”
"Seriously?" Cheng Ling was ecstatic and asked, "Are you absolutely sure?"
"There is no 100% certainty, but there is always 70% or 80% certainty. As long as the young master can refine the Zuojun Pill with Yin Yang Grass added, it will be able to achieve that effect."
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and asked: "Can you deduce the recipe for Zuojun Dan?"
"The deduction has just been completed, but there are not enough materials. I'm afraid I won't be able to refine it for a few furnaces."
Cheng Ling frowned, thinking of the materials stacked on the airship, and said directly: "I will figure out the materials. Please tell me the recipe for the derivation!"
Hu Yue agreed and read out the newly introduced recipe.
After silently remembering it, Cheng Ling withdrew his mind, laid down several concealment restrictions in the side room, and started refining.
Zuojun Dan is a sixth-grade elixir, and Cheng Ling's elixir master level can naturally be refined. However, the amount of Yin-Yang Grass added needs to be tried as appropriate.
The most precious thing about the Yin and Yang Pill is to master the balance of Yin and Yang in the pill. There can be no more or less of the two. This is something that ordinary pills and immortal beast inner pills cannot compare with. Moreover, refining the elixir requires skilled techniques and strong spiritual awareness to ensure that the two are on the same level.
Cheng Ling still has some immortal grass in his body for refining Zujun Dan. As for the Yin Yang grass, there is plenty of space in his body for you to pick. After carefully deducing the elixir several times in his mind, he started refining it with a certain degree of confidence.
Soon, the first furnace of elixirs was roughly formed. However, when adding the yin and yang grass, the balance of yin and yang in the elixir was completely broken. A strong smell of burning emitted from the elixir furnace. Needless to say, it was basically useless. .
He was not discouraged, but replayed it in his mind again, checking the details step by step. After a long time, the second furnace of refining began.
The second furnace made great progress, and the elixir was ready, but the efficacy was much different. He swallowed one himself, and it hardly helped his cultivation. This is again the result of the medicinal power of Yin Yang Grass being too concentrated, suppressing the medicinal power of Zuojun Dan itself.
He kept working hard, seemingly forgetting the passage of time, and the elixir was refined one after another, and the power contained in it became more and more powerful. I was about to go all out and refine the perfect finished product, but unfortunately I ran out of Zuojundan materials.
Cheng Ling felt depressed and could only leave the side room and go to the middle hall. Uncle Ming was not present, only Zhou Yuanbai continued to sit quietly.
He took a step forward and asked: "Young Patriarch, please, are you willing to sell the herbs on the flying boat?"
Zhou Yuanbai was stunned and asked: "Fellow Daoist Cheng is also an elixir master. What level is he?"
"Sixth grade!"
"What?" Zhou Yuanbai was shocked and said, "Is it really the sixth grade?"
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide. You will know once you try it."
Zhou Yuanbai was relieved immediately, laughed and said: "It's really hard to find a place after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all. I was just worrying about how to invite the elixir master, but I didn't expect that Brother Cheng would be it. In this case, can you and I make a deal?"
"Young patriarch, please speak!"
"Brother Cheng is free to use the materials on my flying boat, but I want 40% of the refined elixir!"
Cheng Ling pondered for a while, usually the alchemist would get three ingredients for one elixir when making elixirs, and the number of elixirs may be deducted. Zhou Yuanbai's 40% elixir can be said to be a big deal. But thinking that the other party will send me and others to Yuming Fairy City, let's help him!
He then said: "That's all, I haven't thanked the young clan leader for sending me this gift, so 40% is 40%!"
