"Complete the initial mission: get the right to live in Piaohua Palace, start the mission mode, please draw lots to get the initial mission rewards: 1. Tai Su Xuan Yin Gong; 2. Haha Recipe Daqian Edition; 3. Enlightenment (one volume)."
Looking at the small words that popped up on the panel of "Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", Zhong Wen fell into deep thought.
Obviously, the functions of this bookshelf in his mind are richer than he imagined. It is not only the collection of books that can obtain lottery opportunities, but also comes with a "mission mode".
It seems that this initial mission is a hidden mission. As long as Palace Master Lin recognizes my right to live in Piaohua Palace, the conditions will be met. Only when the mission is completed can the so-called "mission mode" be opened.
"Draw lots!"
Naturally, Zhong Wen would not refuse something like a lottery opportunity, the more the merrier.
"Congratulations on getting the reward: Haha recipe version!"
Zhong Wen: "..."
"Haha Recipes" was a mobile APP software that taught people how to cook in the previous life. Various cooking experts uploaded their favorite recipes and videos in it.
Using his mind, he flipped through the "Haha Recipes" that had appeared in the "Miscellaneous Studies" column. Zhong Wen discovered that this cookbook, which recorded thousands of classic delicacies, actually included various common ingredients and ingredients in his previous life. The spices were replaced with similar ones that existed in the Daqian Empire.
"That's not bad." With this analogy, the classic dishes in "Huang Rong's Recipe" that were originally shelved by Zhong Wen can also be highly restored. Thinking of regaining his old gourmet career, Zhong Wen's heart The depression immediately eased a lot.
Looking at the panel again, the text above has changed:
"Publish task:
Task 1: Successfully refine 100 'Great Recovery Pills' and get a lucky draw chance;
Task 2: Successfully forge the 'Sacred Fire Gun' and get a lucky draw chance;
Task 3: Successfully create refined salt and get a lucky draw chance. "
Zhong Wen looked at the tasks posted on the panel and frowned.
The first alchemy task, "Great Hui Yuan Dan", although the name also has the word "Hui Yuan" in it, is more advanced than Hui Yuan Dan, and is also of great benefit to practitioners in the Heavenly Wheel Realm. There is a hidden meaning in it. "Thousand-year-old Shouwu" was not available at Shengyu Trading Company in Fufeng City. Although there was Shouwu in the medicine fields of Yaowang Valley, the years were far more than a thousand years old. He was reluctant to use this common elixir. As for medicine, this task had to be put on hold.
The second refining task was quite difficult, and he didn't even have the refining tools at hand, so he could only stare at the task for a while.
The third task, at first glance, is also to produce salt. However, the purity of the refined salt is not comparable to that of the coarse salt currently produced by Zhong Wen. He has neither an evaporator nor a dialysis membrane and other modern equipment. He wants to make it. Producing refined salt can almost be said to be a wishful thinking.
However, as he stared at this third task, Zhong Wen's mind became more active.
Purification may not necessarily rely on modern technology.
After some thought, he took out a "Spirit Pattern Disk" and started drawing.
After a moment, a "Pure Fire" spirit pattern that was slightly different from the "Elixir Fire" spirit pattern drawn before appeared on the spirit pattern plate.
This is a kind of flame spirit pattern that Zhong Wen found after searching through the books in his mind, which is specially used to purify impurities in elixirs.
He lit up the "Spirit Pattern Plate" with his spiritual crystals, and soon, a light yellow flame shot up. Zhong Wen took out the best alchemy furnace and placed it on the pure fire.
Pour in the salt lake water, Zhong Wen started this salt making journey with the mentality of refining elixirs.
The temperature of the spirit pattern flame is much higher than that of ordinary flames. Coupled with the strong thermal conductivity of the top-grade alchemy furnace, the salt lake water turns into steam at a speed visible to the naked eye and quickly dissipates into the air.
Zhong Wen stared closely at the situation in the furnace, constantly turning the edge of the furnace to ensure that the temperature inside was balanced.
Less than a moment later, the water in the furnace had completely evaporated, and what appeared in front of you was no longer a lump of white crystals, but tiny white crystal particles.
Zhong Wen dipped a few pills into his fingers, put them to his mouth and licked them.
A pure salty taste stimulated Zhong Wen's taste buds. Not only was the original strange smell gone, but there was also a faint fragrance.
Done!
Zhong Wen was overjoyed, took out a bottle, and carefully filled the refined salt in the furnace.
Zhong Wen closed his eyes while fantasizing about the various upcoming delicacies like a little girl lighting a match.
Sure enough, the text on the bookshelf panel changed again:
"Complete mission 3: Refined salt is successfully produced. Please draw lots to obtain the mission rewards: 1. Taisu Xuan Yin Gong; 2. History of the Founding of Daqian; 3. The Analects of Confucius."
Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, are you a reinforcement brought in by your high school Chinese teacher?
Looking at the third option, Zhong Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Silently chanting in his mind: "Draw lots!"
"Congratulations on getting the reward: Tai Su Xuan Yin Kung!"
His character finally exploded!
Looking at the "Tai Su Xuan Yin Gong" in the row of "Star Spirit Level" on the bookshelf, Zhong Wen couldn't help but burst into tears.
However, after he flipped through this advanced technique book, his excited expression suddenly froze.
“The name of the skill: Tai Su Xuan Yin Gong;
The origin of the skill: the magical power of the top sect "Sunu Palace" in ancient times;
Features of the skill: The practice speed is extremely fast. After mastering it, the spiritual power will contain mysterious yin energy. When facing the enemy, it can freeze the opponent's skin, blood, bones, meridians and even spiritual power;
Training conditions: Gender female
Side effects: beauty and beauty, eternal youth”
Zhong Wen stared at the "Gender Female" item for a long time, thinking that even if he swung his sword to the palace, he might not be able to meet the requirements. He finally gave up the idea of practicing and looked at the task panel again dejectedly. At this time, the salt-making task had disappeared. , a new alternative task appeared in the place of the original task 3:
"Task 3: Successfully refine 30 'Spiritual Transformation Pills' and get two lucky draw opportunities."
Most of the exercises in the world cannot be practiced at the same time. Versatile exercises like "One Qi Immortality Technique" are simply rare. For most practitioners, once they obtain a higher-level exercise, do they give up the original exercise? It becomes a dilemma to switch to a new practice. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the price to pay for re-cultivation. This often makes people in a dilemma.
The "Spirit Transformation Pill" is an advanced elixir developed for this situation, which can help practitioners quickly convert the spiritual power in the body into new exercises, thus greatly shortening the time required for retraining.
It's just that the refining method of this kind of elixir is too rare, and most alchemists have difficulty obtaining the formula. Even if they are lucky enough to get it, they probably don't have the ability to refine it.
Seeing the "Two Chances of Lottery" written on the mission reward, Zhong Wen's eyes flashed with gold and he almost drooled.
Because not only did he know the formula of the "Spiritual Transformation Pill", but also the several precious elixirs needed to refine the elixir were all in stock in the storage ring of the Lord of the Medicine King Valley.
"Jade Dragon Snow Lotus", "Tai Chi Grass", "Hesheng Flower"...
Carefully taking out rare elixirs one after another, Zhong Wen confirmed again and again before lighting up the high-level elixir fire in the "Spirit Pattern Plate" and began to refine the elixirs.
There are many kinds of medicinal materials in "Zhuan Ling Dan", and the steps are complicated. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.
Fortunately, Zhong Wen has a cheating device like the "Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion". As long as he takes a look at any elixir recipe, he will remember it with precision. Every medicinal material is put into the elixir furnace as accurately as controlled by a machine.
Zhong Wen held the handles on both sides of the medicine stove tightly with both hands and kept making subtle adjustments with gestures. His eyes were always watching the changes in the power of the medicine in the stove, and he did not dare to be distracted for a moment.
As time went by, Zhong Wen gradually felt exhausted, so he swallowed a "Rejuvenation Pill" without hesitation. After taking the pill, a large amount of his energy that was about to be exhausted "rubbed" was restored, and he became energetic. Zhen, the hand continues to change rapidly.
The second "Returning Pill" was swallowed by him, and then the third one...
I don't know how long it took, but a small whirlpool of spiritual energy suddenly appeared above the furnace, continuously absorbing the medicinal power in the air, and returned to the alchemy furnace. At the bottom of the furnace, thirty-six light yellow elixirs began to take shape.
Done!
I'm so exhausted.
After swallowing five Huiyuan Pills in a row, Zhong Wen, who was sweating profusely, finally successfully refined the high-level pill "Zhuan Ling Dan".
Looking at the crystal clear elixir, he felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Labor makes people beautiful. At this moment, he felt that he was so beautiful.
"Complete Mission 3: Successfully refine 30 'Spiritual Transformation Pills'. Please draw lots to get the initial mission rewards: 1. Three hundred Tang poems; 2. List of Heroes of Daqian; 3. Enlightenment (one volume)."
“Congratulations on receiving the award: Enlightenment (a volume)!”
"Complete Mission 3: Successfully refine 30 'Spiritual Transformation Pills'. Please draw lots to obtain the initial mission rewards: 1. Nine Ultimate Divine Sword; 2. Enlightenment (one volume); 3. Shattering Void Ax Technique."
“Congratulations on receiving the award: Enlightenment (a volume)!”
"Should we use 'Enlightenment'?"
After drawing lots twice, he received the "Enlightenment (one volume)", and there were no new books on the shelf. Zhong Wen was wondering to himself, but an explanation suddenly popped up on the board:
"Enlightenment: a special skill that can completely teach others the personal understanding of a certain book. Each time you obtain enlightenment (one volume), it can only be used on one book. There is no limit to the number of times it can be taught. Do you want to use it?"
This ability is quite powerful.
Zhong Wen touched his chin and secretly smiled.
Due to the existence of the "Xinhua Sutra Pavilion", Zhong Wen can fully understand any book written in "ancient sacred texts", that is, Chinese characters, in just one breath. Now that he has the "Enlightenment", he can even understand it. You can impart your understanding of a book to another person, allowing the other person to understand in an instant the experience and insights that others have spent decades trying to figure out.
If I were to be a tutor...
Although his abilities have greatly increased, his structure is still so small.
Unfortunately, each time you draw "Enlightenment", it can only be applied to one book. Which two books should you choose?
Zhong Wen was struggling, and suddenly realized that the entire Qingfeng Mountain was filled with women except himself, and he suddenly became enlightened.
The first book is yours! Zhong Wen decisively chose "Tai Su Xuan Yin Gong" whose training condition was "female". The moment he made up his mind, the "Tai Su Xuan Yin Gong" on the bookshelf changed color and emitted a golden light. .
When choosing the second book, Zhong Wen thought of the miserable assassin girl Leng Wushuang.
Then it’s you! This time, he chose "A Killing Sword".
After using the "Enlightenment" twice, I looked at the task panel again. The original task 3 has disappeared, and a new task has taken its place:
"Task 3: Successfully find an ancient sect ruins and collect the books in it, and get two chances to draw a lottery."
This is not a task that can be completed in a short time. Zhong Wen looked at the sky and saw that it was almost midnight.
"It's about time," he murmured, stood up and left the room.
…
It was almost midnight, and everyone in Piaohua Palace had already fallen asleep. The courtyard was silent, and only a few insects could be heard occasionally. The clouds in the sky were slightly thick, and from time to time the crescent moon in the sky was obscured, and the light in the courtyard flickered. Suddenly dark.
A figure quietly appeared in the secret room at the side door of the Piaohua Palace lobby.
The secret room is very small, with only a small table and a wooden cabinet. Since the cabinet contains some important tickets and vouchers for Piaohua Palace, the door of the room is always locked tightly on weekdays.
This figure was holding a spiritual crystal lamp plate and was rummaging around in the cabinet, looking left and right from time to time, obviously worried about being discovered.
However, everyone in the palace was sleeping deeply and knew nothing about this man's behavior.
Finally, when the third drawer was searched, a fine-quality paper document appeared in the person's hand. Through the light, one could vaguely see the words written in large characters on the far right side of the paper: "Land Deed, Qingfeng Mountain, South Xinjiang Province, Daqian..."
It turned out to be the land deed for a ten-mile radius of Qingfeng Mountain!
Suppressing the trembling in his hands, the man put the priceless contract document into his arms, gently closed the drawer, tiptoed out of the secret room, turned off the spiritual crystal lamp panel, quickly walked out of the lobby, and walked straight out of the courtyard. Go and soon disappear on the mountain road outside Piaohua Palace.
This figure was afraid of being discovered, so he walked in a hurry. He didn't gradually slow down until he had completed one-third of the way down the mountain.
At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared on the mountain road in front of him and stopped in front of this person.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!" This was Zhong Wen's voice.
It is said that the islanders in the previous life were more reserved. When men expressed their love, they were reluctant to say "I love you" and would often use this sentence instead.
"Yes, it's really beautiful." The moonlight revealed the face of the previous figure, which turned out to be Mrs. Wang.
Zhong Wen said nothing and just looked at the pretty widow in front of him quietly.
For a moment, the two of them were speechless. The mountain road was silent and the air was somewhat condensed.
"Is Piaohua Palace not good to you?" Zhong Wen was the first to speak.
"No, not only did everyone in Piaohua Palace not dislike my status as a widow, but they treated me like a relative." Mrs. Wang's eyes were blurred, and her soft voice had a hint of hoarseness, giving it a different kind of charm.
"Then why...?" Zhong Wen felt a little sad in his heart. He still had a good impression of this gentle and beautiful widow, "Someone is threatening you?".
"It's more of a temptation than a threat." Sister-in-law Wang no longer felt nervous at this time, "Jin Yuanwai promised to marry me when things are done."
"You want to be that fat pig's little wife?" Zhong Wen was so shocked that his jaw dropped. "The one who peed his pants on the mountain during the day?"
"I'm not young anymore. Although I'm still pretty, I will be old and yellow in a few years." Mrs. Wang spoke slowly, as if she was trying to convince herself, "I don't want to be a servant all my life."
"No one treats you like a servant."
"Even if the palace masters don't look at me like this, I am still a servant and a servant after all." Mrs. Wang said stubbornly, "When I was young, I was a well-known beauty. How many handsome young men wanted to marry me, but unexpectedly left I chose the right one, but in the end I chose a short-lived ghost, and I will be known as a widow for the rest of my life. I am not willing to accept it."
"So you want to use this land deed to marry into the Jin family?" Zhong Wen's eyes gradually became colder, "Actually, you are responsible for the food in Piaohua Palace. You can definitely put medicine in the food to make Piaohua Palace lose With the ability to resist, wouldn’t Yuanwai Jin be able to obtain Qingfeng Mountain easily?”
"He wanted me to put medicine in the food, but I didn't agree." Sister-in-law Wang showed a guilty look, "Mr. Jin is despicable, selfish, greedy and lustful. Palace Master Lin treats me well. I can't let her end up like this. In the hands of a villain."
"Then you still want to marry him?" Zhong Wen had an incredible expression on his face, "Such a person, even if you really marry into the Jin family, he will never treat you well."
"Even if you are beaten, scolded, and abused by him, you are still half a master after all." Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "There is a difference between a master and a servant."
Zhong Wen sighed, feeling that he couldn't keep up with this woman's brain.
"Sister-in-law Wang, please return the land deed now, and I can pretend that nothing happened." Zhong Wen persuaded earnestly, "Do you really have the heart to abandon Xiaodie and the others?"
Mrs. Wang's eyes kept changing, and she was fighting fiercely in her heart.
"Zhong Wen, please let me go. I have betrayed the palace master and there is no way I can go back." She suddenly pleaded, "It's just a land deed. Even if Jin Yuanwai gets it, he can't get it from a The cultivators in the Heavenly Wheel Realm took away Qingfeng Mountain from their hands."
Zhong Wen stood dumbly for a long time, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Zhong Wen, this matter actually has nothing to do with you." Mrs. Wang's face was full of sadness.
"Go away and don't come back again." Zhong Wen sighed.
"Thank you, thank you! You are a good person." Mrs. Wang was so excited that she was incoherent and walked quickly down the mountain.
The moment the two passed each other, Zhong Wen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back his words and just watched Mrs. Wang's slender figure slowly disappearing on the mountain road.
Just as Mrs. Wang left, Lin Zhiyun slowly walked out of the woods to Zhong Wen's right.
The two looked at each other, and Zhong Wen could see pain and regret in the eyes of this peerless beauty.
"Palace Master, don't you personally try to save her?"
"No, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot do anything." Lin Zhiyun shook her head and sighed slightly, "She is right. If the other party really wants to seize Qingfeng Mountain, it does not make any difference whether he has the land deed or not. "
"You don't really want her to take the land deed away, do you?" Zhong Wen looked at Lin Zhiyun in surprise, "There must be a bottom line for kindness. Even if you are willing, I will never let you suffer such a loss."
A land deed suddenly appeared in Zhong Wen's hand.
"This, this is..." Lin Zhiyun looked at the paper fluttering in the wind in Zhong Wen's hand in surprise, with complicated emotions intertwined, and after a long time she said, "Thank you, Zhong Wen, it's just that Mrs. Wang... …”
"Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices." Zhong Wen said word by word.
Do I think I took her life with my own hands?
Zhong Wen looked at the land deed in his hand, and Mrs. Wang's charming and bright smiling face appeared in front of his eyes again.
