When Ye Xing returned to Yunchuan City, the cultivation of the three of them had been completely consolidated. Qin Xinyue and Qi Ming's martial arts and internal strength had improved significantly. They were already at the fourth level of innate cultivation and could be considered among the masters.
Qin Jingxuan has been refining elixirs and selling them, maintaining the operation of Zemin Pharmacy, and researching various prescriptions in her spare time.
Ye Xing said, "Now we have to stay for a while longer to refine the ancient marrow-cleansing pill. This pill will eliminate all impurities in the body. It is much more advanced than the pulse-cleansing pill. It is very useful for our Qi refining and innate realm." Everyone is very helpful. Then we will go back to Songcheng and Donghai, after all, it has been three years since we came out."
The three of them also became excited. It seemed like they had been away from home for too long! In particular, the anxiety of the two women about returning home was immediately revealed.
Ye Xing said, "It's just that the medicinal materials collected on the desert island have basically been used up. The medicinal materials needed for the Marrow Cleansing Pill are all extremely rare medicinal materials."
Qi Ming said, "Master, how about we join a certain sect and use the power of the sect to get what we want more easily?"
Ye Xing said, "I also have the cultivation techniques and elixir prescriptions. What I lack are resources and medicinal materials. As for joining other sects, it is actually impossible to gain the trust of others within ten years. We can't wait ten years."
Qin Jingxuan said, "In the past six months, I have also compared the ingredients of the medicinal materials of the marrow cleansing elixir. 80% of the medicinal materials have actually been confirmed. In a few months at most, we can confirm the elixir and then collect all the medicinal materials. "
Ye Xing nodded, "There may be some medicinal materials that you can't buy outside. You can only go to the elixir gate to buy medicinal materials. The best way is to join it. It will be much more convenient, but I am not willing to be restricted."
Qi Ming said, "The money is not enough! I don't have the talent to refine medicine, so making money is more suitable for me."
Qin Xinyue shook her head and said, "I can't refine medicine, and of course I can't become a member of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. Only you two are suitable, but others will investigate our origins in detail."
Ye Xing nodded and said, "Yes, others must have spent a long time investigating our origins before they would accept us."
After a pause, he continued, "It's better for me to go there myself and figure out a way. You guys can take the method of controlling your aura a step further here. When I'm not here, keep an absolute low profile."
In the next two months, Ye Xing and Qin Jingxuan completed the research on the elixir. Because he had advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining, his abilities had taken a big step forward. Many experiments no longer needed to be carried out with physical objects. They could only be done by sitting quietly and calculating. arrive.
After repeated verification, it was still extremely accurate. The two gradually believed that the derivation was extremely credible and there was no need to verify it with physical objects. This could save a large amount of precious medicinal materials.
There are tens of millions of ingredient combinations of 64 kinds of medicinal materials. Ye Xing simply reasoned out that more than 30 combinations are feasible.
Now that all the problems have been studied clearly, we only need medicinal materials, most of which are valuable and rare.
During the two months, Ye Xing also guided the three people on cultivation issues from time to time. Of course, he also refined more medicines to sell and make money.
Another thing happened during this period. One day, when Ye Xing returned to the store from outside, he saw a masked woman coming to "Zemin Medicine Store" to buy medicine. He immediately recognized this woman from her smell. It was the purple-clothed woman from Phoenix Villa who was numbed by Ye Xing's silver needle that day. Her cultivation level was at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, which was much higher than Ye Xing's, but her spiritual consciousness was too far behind.
Qi Ming is quite familiar with this woman and has obviously appeared here many times.
Ye Xing immediately became vigilant, and followed her for a long time with her consciousness. From her words and deeds, she learned that she was forced to escape because she lost the Phoenix Soul Jade, and she should still be traced by Phoenix Villa;
Now she is renting a small inn in the city and working as a casual cultivator. Her life is still a bit difficult. She was probably the eldest lady of the sect with little ability to survive.
Ye Xing also felt a little sorry for her, but thinking of the mystery and horror of Phoenix Villa, he decided not to pay attention to it, otherwise he would end up in trouble.
Thinking that there are thousands or tens of thousands of people behind him, Ye Xing absolutely cannot confront Phoenix Villa.
Ye Xing did not remind Qi Ming, and there was no need. He just said that for ordinary people, old customers can get some discounts.
Now "Zemin Pharmacy" is a well-known pharmacy in the city. It takes in a lot of money every day, but compared to their expenses, it is nothing to mention. It only helps a little.
Ye Xing went to resell a few pieces of glazed treasures he made. With millions of taels of silver, he seemed to be rich all of a sudden, but it was still far from enough for the sky-high price of the elixir.
After preparing a large amount of banknotes, Ye Xing left Yunchuan City, aiming for the elixir mountain where the elixir gate is located in the west.
The Spiritual Medicine Sect is a sect whose main business is growing herbs, refining elixirs, and practicing medicine. It is also one of the industries with the largest number of disciples and one of the most influential gangs. There are countless medicine shops in the Song Dynasty. It is run by his disciples.
Ye Xing has no plans to join the elixir sect, and his main purpose is to study and purchase precious medicinal materials.
He also bought the elixirs from all the famous alchemists in Yunchuan City, but was disappointed. The level was actually very average. The best ones were only fifth-grade alchemists, which meant that the level and skills of many people were not up to standard.
He found that these so-called alchemists all made medicine according to prescriptions and could only make medicine according to books. They did not redesign the medicine according to the origin, ingredients, and possible appropriate technology.
Going west, there were many medicine gardens along the way. When Ye Xing visited, they were all conventional medicines, but the vintage ones were completely insufficient. It took more than twenty days of horseback riding and stopping to reach the famous Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
The Spiritual Medicine Mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles actually belongs to the Spiritual Medicine Sect, and there are countless medicinal gardens and alchemy sites set up by its disciples. It is said that there are tens of thousands of medicinal gardens here, all of which are disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect. opened.
The Spiritual Medicine Sect is a loose sect. Only the elders in the sect are responsible for handling affairs. The others are all masters and apprentices. They have nothing to do with other people. They just hang under the Spiritual Medicine Sect and hang a nameplate to explain themselves. The inheritance school is enough.
The instructions given by the Elder Council of the Spiritual Medicine Sect are still mandatory and must be carried out by all members of the sect. It is a loose alliance, but they will still obey the instructions for their own interests, so the Spiritual Medicine Sect is still very powerful.
In the name of purchasing medicinal materials, Ye Xing visited hundreds of medicinal gardens in Lingyao Mountain. One was to purchase various ready-made medicinal materials, the other was seeds and seedlings.
Ye Xing has long discovered that the internal space of the Phoenix Space Ring has expanded a lot, and the spiritual energy inside is extremely abundant. If you store seeds and seedlings inside, although they will not grow, they will not die. In this way, you may be able to prepare them first. With all kinds of spiritual herbs, you can build your own medicine garden in the future. This is an inevitable long-term plan.
Ye Xing's visits during this period were actually purchases and explorations, and he gained a lot. He has collected thousands of herb seeds and seedlings, as well as many finished medicinal materials.
If Ye Xing can't buy the things he likes, he will try his best to steal them, and then keep the banknotes he thinks are suitable.
Ye Xing is not at all uncomfortable with theft. In his understanding, everything is just a game, everything is just a passer-by, and there is really no need to care about any sentiments.
Soon there was a thief who would pay after stealing the medicine, and the value he gave was quite appropriate, and it spread in various gardens in Lingyao Mountain.
Ye Xing heard about it himself, but it didn't matter because he didn't have anything on hand and others couldn't think he had stolen it. He went to multiple medicine gardens every day to purchase.
Ye Xing also heard many stories and rumors about alchemists, some of which were extremely legendary and sounded mysterious.
Unlike others, who listened to these stories and regarded them as legends, Ye Xing analyzed them and determined that some of them were most likely true.
For example, in some lava caves in Lingyao Mountain, there are special flame plants, plus several blended medicinal materials, which can be made into a plaster and taken orally, which can make the internal organs of the body burn. After surviving, the internal organs will become as tough as steel.
Also, somewhere deep in the mountains, there is a magical elixir that, if swallowed directly, can directly increase a martial artist's internal strength by one level, no matter what level it is.
There are many rumors like this, and Ye Xing will analyze each one carefully.
From the news I heard, I learned about an old pharmacist who never accepted disciples or sold medicine. He only planted medicine and refined medicine. He is very old now, but he is still walking as fast as flying, like a living god, and he is proficient in medicine. Formation, no one can enter its medicine garden.
Because I heard that the medicine garden has not been open for a long time, and it has been like this for hundreds of years. The current owner of the garden is an old pharmacist, and he only goes out to buy supplies.
Ye Xing thought there must be many rare medicinal materials there and decided to visit.
