Xuyun Lake, on the island in the middle of the lake.
Principal Xiang Jingyan led the other two vice-principals, as well as the five department heads of the War Skills Academy, the Alchemy Academy, the Formation Academy, the Talisman Making Academy and the Mysterious Weapon Academy, and personally welcomed the two people who had returned from abroad to work under the dripping eaves. An expert, someone who can arrange a spirit-gathering array at will, is worthy of his demotion.
Jiangnan Cultivation College has been unable to be upgraded to a Cultivation University. In addition to being a fifth-grade Yimen Realm monk, it is difficult for him to survive alone. Another point is that the college's running characteristics are not enough and it cannot produce a trump card major that is worthy of the attention of the higher authorities.
Xiang Zhengyan is eager for talents, but unfortunately he can't get a few famous cultivation universities in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Hubei. Every time there are talents, he can't get them. As a result, the government's cultivation resources are all allocated to those old guys' schools. Tilt, he was so angry that he had no choice but to itch his teeth.
Now that he had the opportunity to make a comeback, of course he would not let it go.
After exchanging greetings, we walked into the antique large living room and sat down separately for the guests and the host.
After chatting for a while, Xiang Zhengyan also listened to the voice report from Vice Principal He. He was impatient and wanted to verify the alchemy level of this fellow Daoist Bai. He said, "I wonder what items you need to prepare for fellow Daoist Bai to make alchemy?"
Bai Qiuyu glanced at the husband sitting next to him, saw Chang Siguo smiling and nodding, indicating to her to make her own decision, and said: "Help me prepare a pill furnace. The materials and prescriptions for the fourth-grade pills you refine here, and the rest are No."
Xiang Zhengyan was very happy. Those who could refine fourth-grade elixirs were all masters, and they were rare in the entire country of China. Jiangnan Cultivation Academy really found a treasure this time. He smiled and said: "We have them all. Wait a moment, fellow Taoist Bai." ." He used magic power to deliver a recipe of elixir to Bai Qiuyu, and Fang Rong, the director of the Chongyan Alchemy Academy, sent a few words.
Fang Rong immediately went out and arranged the alchemy room on the island. After a while, he invited everyone to the alchemy room.
Bai Qiuyu looked at the elixir recipe and the details such as the order of elixir preparation, fire control, and elixir brewing techniques. She paused for a moment. She had rich experience in alchemy and optimized the original elixir recipe. Yu's clumsy alchemy furnace was quite speechless.
This is obviously an old antique. It has aged well and lacks good maintenance and refining.
Refining elixirs like this will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will consume a lot of mana.
After circling the tall alchemy furnace, Bai Qiuyu tilted his head and thought for a while before shaking his head slightly.
Xiang Zhengyan's heart skipped a beat, couldn't he practice?
Bai Qiuyu looked at Xiang Zhengyan and said in a negotiating tone: "Principal Xiang, this alchemy furnace needs to be refined and shrunk. Should I do it, or will you arrange for someone to do it?"
Xiang Zhengyan smiled and said, "Please, Fellow Daoist Bai, please do some sacrifices."
This giant cauldron is a treasure found in a ruins. No one can use it except Fang Rong, who can start a fire to refine elixirs up to the third grade. Every time Lao Fang uses this furnace to refine elixirs, no matter whether it is successful or not, They are all so tired that they need to rest for a few days.
Therefore, Fang Rong does not use this pill furnace easily, and the pill-forming rate is too low.
As for the alchemy furnaces in the academy that can refine fourth-grade pills, except for this Qingyang furnace, the other alchemy furnaces are useless.
He asked Fang Rong to prepare this furnace, which was somewhat sophisticated.
Bai Qiuyu obtained the other party's consent and stopped being polite. He flew up and kneaded the secrets with both hands, hitting the huge Qingyang furnace with the hand-to-hand spiritual refining secrets. If it weren't for her husband's instructions not to expose the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, this place would She took care of the stove in a moment.
As the spirit formula was being refined, the Qingyang furnace vibrated and made a buzzing sound of gold and jade. Ancient runes appeared on the furnace body, mysteriously flickering. Such a change immediately stunned the principals and directors of the Cultivation Academy.
Soon everyone woke up and looked at the extraordinary alchemy furnace with its changing light and color. Everyone was a little excited.
The treasure has been hidden for a long time. This white Taoist man is friendly, insightful and resourceful. He found the secret to the alchemy furnace in just one meeting.
There were a few people who originally had a trace of doubt in their minds, but at this moment, they had long thrown their doubts away, flying around, carefully observing the mysterious techniques of Bai Taoist priests in the alchemy furnace. Experts can tell if there are any by stretching out their hands, and everyone unknowingly adopted a learning attitude. Observe.
But Xiang Zhengyan felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Talents are rare, but people go to great heights, and this fellow Taoist Bai performed really well.
Is it really a matter of opinion whether you think highly of their small temple?
The alchemy furnace buzzed and kept shrinking. Half a quarter of an hour later, Bai Qiuyu shouted: "Condensation!"
The brilliance was dazzling, and when everyone looked again, the bronze alchemy furnace fell into Bai Qiuyu's hands. It was about a foot tall, as exquisite and simple as if it had been reborn, with a faint brilliance.
Bai Qiuyu gently gave the alchemy furnace away and said, "If you have time, you can keep more furnaces. This alchemy furnace is not bad."
Chang Siguo gave her a gift of more than two hundred miles, and she opened a treasure house, which contained several different types of alchemy furnaces that she carefully collected. They were of higher quality and well maintained. She would not be interested in what she saw in front of her. stove.
It's just that as an alchemist, she couldn't bear to see the alchemy furnace covered in dust, so she gave a special reminder.
Xiang Zhengyan took the freshly baked alchemy furnace and smiled from ear to ear. It was more than good. This alchemy furnace was of a higher grade than the magic weapon he used and could be used as a powerful weapon.
Especially since the other party was very particular about what they did and did not leave any mark on the alchemy furnace. They just helped them refine the alchemy furnace.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Bai. We will take good care of this alchemy furnace in the future."
Xiang Zhengyan handed the stove to Fang Rong, who was impatient, and bowed his hands in salute.
The other party refined such a high-grade alchemy furnace with ease, and there was almost no trace of consumption. He speculated that the other party was a fifth-level mind gate monk, perhaps with a higher level of cultivation than him?
He just didn't know why. He wanted to restrain his cultivation and settle down in Jiangnan College, so he decided to have a good chat with the two of them later.
So far, both men have shown good-natured punches.
The alchemy furnace was passed around in the hands of several other vice principals and directors, and then returned to Bai Qiuyu's hand.
Bai Qiuyu was worried about neglecting the waiting Chang Siguo, so he set up the stove, sorted out the needed medicinal materials, placed them suspended in the air, and said: "Husband, please lend me a ray of flame to start the stove." .”
Chang Siguo smiled, and a wisp of purple flame appeared on his fingertips, hitting the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
I have worked with You Ji to make elixirs so many times, and I have learned a lot about some things, and I know the steps to start the furnace and the temperature.
Bai Qiuyu also fired a wisp of white flame. With the change of hand techniques, the furnace roared, and the flame rose to three feet high. The symbols on the furnace wall flickered. The furnace was started successfully. The furnace lid rose and rotated in the air. Bai Qiuyu pointed his finger. Slowly waving, each medicinal material fell into the furnace chamber, roasted over a slow fire, and the furnace lid fell down.
Two-color flames intertwined and licked the outer wall of the alchemy furnace, and ancient runes were looming in it, which was very mysterious.
Xiang Zhengyan glanced at the woman in white clothes who was slowly kneading the fire and looking calm, then looked at Fang Rong who was watching the alchemy attentively, and asked via voice transmission: "How is this fellow Taoist Bai's alchemy level?"
He knew some alchemy, but he was no match for Fang Rong, who specialized in elixir research.
Fang Rong was mesmerized by what he saw, and replied through a message: "Fellow Daoist Bai has a unique way of starting fire, and precise fire control methods. He is infinitely better than me. He is an absolute master. Brother, we must keep these two in our academy." ,so amazing!"
Xiang Zhengyan knew it well, no matter whether the furnace elixir was successful or not, he would keep people at all costs.
Chang Daoyou wants to transfer his nationality back, but it is not a condition for him, it is too easy.
As time passed, Bai Qiuyu, who used his spiritual sense to check the situation in the furnace, changed his method again. The refined medicinal materials in the furnace fell into different grooves in the alchemy chamber in order, and were roasted and refined at different temperatures.
Bai Qiuyu has been able to refine sixth-grade elixirs, and can refine only fourth-grade elixirs without any effort.
Just because some medicinal materials were a little short of age, she spent more time refining the medicines.
More than half an hour later, Bai Qiuyu switched to the elixir brewing formula in her hand, and used her spiritual consciousness to divide the molten liquid in the elixir chamber into nine even groups. She found that in the high-speed rotating blazing airflow, there was a hint of purple spirit seeping into the liquid, and tried Twice, she couldn't get rid of it, so she had to give up. The ray of flame provided by An Daojun was too overbearing.
The aroma of the medicine is getting stronger, and when the heat is up, Bai Qiuyu turns to the Slow Fire Accumulating Pill Technique, and the spiritual consciousness withdraws. He breathes a sigh of relief. The purple intention did not cause trouble at the critical moment. At this moment, the pill is basically formed, and it cannot be damaged. .
She was really worried about smashing a furnace of fourth-grade pills, so where would she put her face?
A quarter of an hour later, the alchemy furnace trembled and hummed. Bai Qiuyu knocked away the magic formula he was holding and shouted: "Get up!"
The furnace lid responded with the rising heat, and several rays of light spewed out. Bai Qiuyu stretched out her hand and swept it. After a few jingles, she collected all the refined elixirs with two elixir bottles, and then she looked a little weird.
Chang Siguo could see clearly that two of the nine pills in the furnace were of the highest quality. He was very lucky. He grinned at Bai Qiuyu who came over.
Xiang Zhengyan and others didn't see clearly. Bai Qiuyu's technique was too fast. They were eager to know how many Cheng Dan there were?
Fang Rong smelled the hot medicinal fragrance spreading throughout the room, and based on his experience, he guessed that the elixir production rate was at least 70%.
Bai Qiuyu didn't let anyone wait any longer. He used magic power to hold the two pill bottles in front of Xiang Zhengyan and said with a smile, "Luckily, two top quality Light Yuan Pills came out."
She already understood that the fifth-grade elixir that You Ji asked her to give her, the top-grade elixir that allowed her to break through to the golden elixir realm at the critical moment, turned out to be from the hands of her husband. The trace of divine will in it was different from the one she had just refined. The best elixirs come from the same source, but there are differences in strength and weakness.
She didn't swallow the top-grade fifth-grade elixir back then, but relied on her own accumulation to successfully pass the test. She still keeps that elixir.
She drifted back to Chang Siguo's side, stretched out her hand and put it into his generous palm, the little woman's face full of happiness.
"What? Two top quality Light Yuan Pills?"
Fang Rong had a look of disbelief on his face, and with quick hands, he took advantage of Xiang Zhengyan's dazed moment to grab the pill bottle that was still floating, and quickly opened the cork. Nine pills appeared in the air, two of which were flowing. Brilliant.
"Oh my God, it's really the best Qing Yuan Dan, the panacea for breaking through the realm! I..."
Fang Rong was so excited that his whole body trembled.
He knew very well the significance of the best elixirs. For Jiangnan Cultivation Academy, if these two elixirs were used well, they could create two fifth-grade mind gate monks, and Bai Qiuyu was left to teach. How many of them were present? Everyone has the opportunity to become a mind gate monk.
Everyone else thought of this, their eyes burning.
Xiang Zhengyan took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and waved his hand to collect the nine pills.
He separated the top-quality pills into two jade bottles. It would be blasphemy to squeeze them into one jade bottle. He carefully sealed them with magic power and put them in his pocket.
The heat in the alchemy room was gradually dissipating.
Xiang Zhengyan straightened his long robe and held hands with the two people holding hands: "A virtuous couple and a talented couple. Fellow Taoist Bai's alchemy skills are amazing. I admire Xiang! You two, please, let's go to Qingju Pavilion to discuss these two top-quality elixirs." , Xiang Mou is shameless and is temporarily under control."
Chang Siguo and Bai Qiuyu let go of their hands, smiled and said, "Be polite to the principal, please!"
Bai Qiuyu smiled but said nothing. When her husband was present, she would not talk much. She just let him make the decision in everything.
The others received the message from Xiang Zhengyan and on the pretext of staying to admire the treasure of the alchemy furnace, they went to talk without accompanying him. They all smiled a little more respectfully.
We arrived at a wooden building in the Orange Garden in the east of the island and climbed to the third floor.
The gentle lake breeze blows, and the fragrance of orange leaves fills the building.
After sitting down, Xiang Zhengyan said thoughtfully: "You two, I have something to say. If there is any offense, please forgive me!" He looked at Chang Siguo. Chang Siguo was the dominant one between Chang and Bai. , he still has this bit of eyesight.
Talents are rare, but if some things are not discussed clearly, he will not know what to do.
Chang Siguo smiled and said, "Ask the principal."
"You two...are you from a hidden family?"
Xiang Zhengyan hesitated for a while, then asked directly, since the spiritual energy of the earth has revived, various ancient sects and families, both overt and dark, have become active. The power of each family is too limited. If you want to practice, you need a lot of resources. How can it be possible if you don't come out? Obtain?
Chang Siguo nodded slightly. He was from a reclusive family, right? Save him a lot of drool explaining.
Xiang Zhengyan then asked: "Do you have a token?"
Chang Siguo put his right hand into his left sleeve and touched it. He had so many tokens that he grabbed a handful.
He was choosing which one was suitable and should not be too high-end. He finally chose the Supreme Elder Token given to him by Sister Liu of the Domineering Sect back then. He concealed most of the aura in it, otherwise he was worried that he would not be able to bear it if Xiang Zhengyan probed it.
Pass the dark gold token to Xiang Zhengyan.
When Xiang Zhengyan took the token, he knew it was extraordinary. The trace of aura coming from it made him tremble with fear.
I don’t know what kind of material it is made of, and the runes are primitive and incomprehensible. The token is heavy in my hand. It is an ancient object with great age, and it is of extremely high grade, with huge power sealed in it.
Xiang Zhengyan held the token with both hands and respectfully returned it to Chang Siguo. He thought to himself that he was indeed a monk from the Hidden World Family. This reassured him. Hidden World families generally have their own inheritance, and some even reach a certain level in cultivation. , can unlock the treasures left by the ancestors. He believed that these two people would not be coveting the skills of their academy. The superficiality they showed would overwhelm the many people present.
"Both of you have fifth-grade mind gate cultivation, right?"
Chang Siguo nodded with a smile and said: "Now that I have opened the conversation with the principal, Chang will no longer hide it. My husband and I came to Jiangnan City this time. While joining the WTO to gain experience, we also want to use the strength of your school." , help Chang look for the descendants living in Jiangnan and nearby provinces. Maybe they still have incense left, so we have to look for it."
Xiang Zhengyan smiled and said, "Brother Chang, is there any way to easily find the descendants of your family?"
The only condition for taking up the post is that the other party needs help from others when they have troubles.
Chang Siguo took out a handful of filiform needles and said, "This needle has been secretly prepared. Anyone who has a blood relationship with me and whose blood concentration is within a certain range will turn red within five feet."
Xiang Zhengyan said cheerfully: "Okay, the search for the person will be taken care of by the college. If Brother Chang has any other conditions, please mention them too?"
Chang Siguo scratched his hair and said with a smile: "The only thing I can't hide from Principal Xiang is the Shengxian Terrace... Hehe, of course, there is no ambiguity about where efforts are needed." He spoke in a cryptic and vague manner.
Xiang Zhengyan understood, stretched out his hand and said, "This requires your and my cooperation!"
Chang Siguo smiled and said: "Happy cooperation!" He also extended his hand, and the two shook hands, and the agreement was reached.
In the jade slip left to him, the old Taoist Mingyuan mentioned the "Taiwan Shengxian" that he had made at random. He didn't explain the details clearly, but he still had his usual style of talking half-talk and doing things sloppily, leaving him to guess.
Since Principal Xiang still suspected that he had another purpose, he threw out the "Ascending Immortal Platform", a secret that had not been heard in the world of cultivation.
Sure enough, with one hit, Principal Xiang immediately believed in his sincerity in staying as a teacher.
Sometimes things in the world can be so absurd that you won't listen to the truth and believe lies.
