On days when he is not going out, except for going to Qian Chao's place to practice with a few companions according to the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation", Yanxuan usually stays at his residence to study.
Of course, the place she lives in now is no longer the original small courtyard in Qixia Mountain. After becoming a disciple, Fairy Zhong Yao built an exquisite attic for Yanxuan to live in outside her cave. Also, Zhong Yao Fairy Yao knew that her female disciple not only possessed a superior fire spirit but also had great potential in alchemy. For this reason, Fairy Zhong spared no effort to create various conditions for Yanxuan. In addition to taking Yanxuan to meet several In addition to the famous alchemy master in Qixia Mountain asking for advice on Yanxuan, Fairy Zhong also arranged a fire eye for Yanxuan outside her cave and bought everything related to alchemy. Now Yanxuan is choosing and dividing grass. Whether it's washing grass, refining elixirs, or preparing medicines, they can all be done in his master's cave. Therefore, Yan Xuan rarely goes to Nan Yutang to make elixirs.
In this regard, Yanxuan is not as good as Qian Chao. There is a fire eye underground where Qian Chao lives. He can refine spiritual weapons without leaving home, but Qian Chao often wants to hear various news that is circulating within the sect. When I went to the Chengqi Hall to refine weapons, I always found a quiet corner and listened to the discussions of everyone in the Chengqi Hall while busying myself. Similar to Chengqi Hall, Nanyu Hall is also a lively place. Although no noise is allowed in Nanyu Hall, disciples will inevitably say something when they get together, so it is also a place where news is concentrated. Precisely because Yanxuan rarely went to Nanyutang later, she didn't know much about what happened in Nanyutang. Even when Qian Chao heard something about Nanyutang in Chengqitang, Yanxuan was still concerned about it. Nothing.
The so-called Nan Yutang incident is related to one person.
And this person is Qin Suijie.
As mentioned before, Mr. Qin, who endured a year of painful suffering, finally used his own twelve pills to remove the power of his "Strong Order Pill", and the power of the medicine that restricted his cultivation was lifted. At the same time, Qin Suijie's cultivation level broke through from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining, which of course made him cry with joy. Later, Tian Du, who had no confidence in Wen Liang, approached Qin Suijie. After a detailed discussion, the two initially reached an alliance to jointly deal with Qian Chao.
Even if the power of the "Zhuang Ling Dan" in his body is removed, and even if he and Tian Du have an alliance, Qin Suiji's plan to continue to attack Tang Ping is not optimistic at all.
The reason is simple. He started too late compared to Tang Ping and others.
Qin Suijie was the first disciple who was sent to the sect among the disciples who trained in Youming Valley. He seemed to be very prosperous, but the real reason was that he had no choice but to swallow the sect under the pressure of Shen Weijie. After taking his own "Zhuang Ling Dan", it didn't take long for the effect of the "Zhuang Ling Dan" to be removed. In fact, the time when the medicine's power was removed was when Qin Suijie really started practicing. Even at that time, he They are also at the third level of Qi refining, but Tang Ping and others have already passed the fifth level and have reached the fifth level of Qi refining. Moreover, they have been at the fifth level of Qi refining for quite some time. Who knows when the cultivation of those five people will reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, and it is already extremely difficult to catch up now.
What's more, Tang Ping and those five people have now become the top qi refining disciples in the sect. With this status, those five people respond to everything in the sect when they do things, trying to catch Tang Ping's attention, and they almost look even more... impossible things.
If someone asks Qin Suijie now if he regrets what he did in Youming Valley, then Qin Suijie's answer must be:
No regrets!
In the view of Mr. Qin, what makes a person is everything that person has in the past and the examination and reflection of past successes or failures.
Although it was Shen Weizai who attacked him in Youming Valley, he understood that he was actually defeated at the hands of Qian Chao, and it was a huge defeat, which almost left him no chance to stand up.
But when he carefully looked at his past self in the quiet night, Qin Suijie understood that he was destined to encounter such a major setback.
He is from a well-known family and has good qualifications. He has been valued by his family since he was a child and has been strictly trained. Although he does not show it to the elders in the family, he has already developed disdain and contempt for his peers in his heart. It is with this kind of Arrogant and conceited, he embarked on a journey into the Wuling Sect, where he met Tang Ping and Qian Chao.
What a powerful Qian Chao, he gave himself a severe blow as soon as he met him. He should have woken up at that time, he should have paid attention to him, and he should have been extremely careful to watch out for him. Unfortunately, he didn't, and this happened. Later, he ended up swallowing the "Zhuang Ling Dan".
After a year of extremely painful suffering, Qin Suijie's mind has matured a lot. Thinking about it now, he is even glad that he suffered such a big loss so early. If he had not continued to deal with Qian Chao and the others in Youming Valley at that time, but had prepared to take action after entering the sect, based on Qian Chao's mental methods, I am afraid that his end would be more than just swallowing the "Strengthening Pill" It's so bad. You must know that Qian Chao's methods were so clever and vicious when he didn't have any cultivation in Youming Valley. After he has cultivation within the sect, it's even harder to guarantee what he will do to him. Every five years There are countless disciples of the Ling Sect who have disappeared outside. If I had not suffered this loss in Youming Valley, it is very likely that I would have disappeared silently because of targeting Tang Ping.
After all, he learned from rumors that many people had died at the hands of Qian Chao!
This can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.
Therefore, Qin Suijie does not regret what he did in Youming Valley.
Well, there is another meaning in this, that is, regret is of no use!
Of course, understanding this would not be of any real help to his current situation and his plans. To achieve his wish, Qin Suijie would have to continue.
And the huge gap in cultivation level between him and Tang Ping's five people made it impossible for him to deal with those five people head-on. Therefore, in order to realize his wish, Qin Suijie would continue to fight in Youming Valley by himself. s method……
Hide behind the scenes and let others do the work for you.
But this requires capital.
In Youming Valley, Qin Suijie relied on two things to get others to do their best for him. The first was that he had the reputation of being the son of the Qin family, and the second was that the people in Youming Valley at that time probably had no brains and were easy to control. , or someone with some brains who is willing to contribute to him.
But the current situation is very different. Now in the Wuling Sect, in terms of life background, although the Qin family he came from is not bad, but for him, those who can take a fancy to his Qin family background basically have no influence. usefulness. And almost all those who were of great use to Qin Sui looked down upon his Qin family origins.
For Mr. Qin, this is definitely an embarrassing situation.
However, the road is made by people. Qin Suijie believed in this. He was confident that he could find a way to win over people who were useful to him, but it was not without cost...
The Qin family's fame in the world of cultivation relies on the Qin family's alchemy skills. As a disciple who has been trained by the Qin family since childhood, Qin Suijie naturally has great potential in alchemy. Alchemy is also Qin Suijie's biggest reliance on gaining a foothold in the Wuling Sect and achieving his own plans.
As mentioned earlier, after Qin Suijie got rid of the power of "Zhuang Ling Dan", he concentrated on the art of alchemy. Qixia Mountain has its own inheritance of alchemy, and coupled with what the Qin family learned, Qin Suijie became After Yanxuan, he became another Qi refining disciple who could refine intermediate-level elixirs.
While Qian Chao and others were busy dealing with Wen Liang, Qin Suijie also rose to fame as he frequently refined mid-level elixirs.
Of course, since Yanxuan rarely went to Nanyutang to make alchemy, she didn't know about this.
…
Reputation is like a two-edged sword that can cut through thorns for oneself but can also hurt oneself.
Qian Chao was the most sensitive to this point. He had gained a reputation for refining weapons, and then he got into trouble because of this reputation. There was once a guy named Dusha who wanted to come because he was bullying him because of his low cultivation level. Threatening and blackmailing him.
In fact, similar things happened to Yanxuan after he refined the intermediate elixir, but that time it was such a coincidence that Tang Ping came to talk to Yanxuan. At that time, Tang Ping, the little yaksha, saw someone. In order to defeat Yanxuan's idea, he stepped forward and gave Yanxuan a slap in the face and a curse, which completely solved the problem for Yanxuan.
But Qin Suijie was different. He needed such trouble to find him.
Speaking of alchemy, we might as well evaluate Qin Suijie and Yanxuan here. Of course, this is only a comment on their current alchemy methods.
In terms of the rate of elixir formation when refining elixirs, Yanxuan is better than Qin Suijie, but part of the reason for this is because the elixir furnace used by Yanxuan was carefully selected and refined by Qian Chao regardless of cost. Qian Chao had been looking for a material called "Spirit Earthworm Mud" for several years. Finally, Buyan Yao collected it for him at a high price from the cultivation world, and therefore Yan Xuan used it. That alchemy furnace is definitely the best among the Qi refining disciples in the sect. With the help of such an alchemy furnace, Yanxuan can surpass Qin Suijie in terms of the rate of elixir creation.
However, Qin Suijie's elixir-making rate is not low, and he does not have a top-quality alchemy furnace like Yanxuan's. He can only use the most common alchemy furnace in Nanyu Hall to refine elixirs, which shows that his elixir refining skills are very good. The skill seems to be even higher than that of Yanxuan.
The two have completely different reputations in alchemy.
Soon after Yanxuan refined the mid-level elixir for the first time, he ran into trouble because of this, and Tang Ping took action to solve it. Later, after Yanxuan refined the mid-level elixir, he would immediately treasure it and keep it secret. It's not that she's worried that someone else will come to bother her, but that mid-level elixirs are really rare. It's natural to collect such good things. After gathering a certain amount, she will give one point to several friends. After that, they will come every time. When going out, you can find a lot of spiritual herbs of good quality and suitable age. Yanxuan's elixir refining is enough. Later, the elixir she refines does not need to be handed over to Qixiang Pavilion and then to Nanyu Hall to exchange for spiritual herbs. , but they were all distributed to several partners to take during practice, so Yanxuan's reputation in Nanyutang gradually faded away.
But Qin Suijie was different. In order to gain fame and attract the attention of some people he cared about, and of course also for his own practice, he refined a large amount of elixirs. As each elixir came to Nanyutang, he Brother Mi replaced it with spiritual grass, and Qin Suijie's name was often mentioned by people in Nanyu Hall. Soon he had a small white jade gourd hanging around his waist that marked the status of a junior alchemist. In addition, from time to time he could After refining an intermediate-level elixir, his reputation quickly became known to many people, and people were talking about the fact that there was another elixir-refining genius in Nanyutang.
In the end, the trouble Qin Suijie wanted came true!
That day under the moonlight, Qin Suijie returned to his residence from Nanyutang. At the door of his courtyard, a voice called him:
"Wait a minute, are you Qin Suijie?"
The person who spoke was a man, with a bit of arrogance in his voice. When Qin Suijie turned around, he saw two people, a man and a woman. The man was not old and not tall. His face looked very fair in the moonlight. His facial features are somewhat human-like, but his face is full of condescension and arrogance, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable at first sight.
And that woman is quite pretty.
"Yes, I am Qin Suijie, may I ask..."
"I'm Zu Xiang, have you heard of my name?"
Well, if you readers are still familiar with the previous article, you may still remember this ancestor. It was this guy who came to pester Yanxuan because of the intermediate elixir. He is the descendant of a senior ancestor in Bibotan, Shuiyun Valley. He can be regarded as an unlearned and willful dandy in the clan. Of course, he is far worse than the real dandy, such as Zong Xi, Huan Chan and Jing Jie. He was slapped by Tang Ping. After that, I never dared to trouble Yanxuan again. Now that such a long time has passed, this Zuxiang still has not made any progress. I heard that there is another refining center named Qin Suijue from Nanyutang in Qixia Mountain. He didn't need the elixir, so he came to trouble him again. Well, just like when he troubled Yanxuan, he also brought a charming woman with him. Of course, this woman was no longer the same one as before.
"I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I've never heard of your name before." Qin Suijie said lightly. In fact, he had heard of Zu Xiang's name a little bit. He knew that he was a dandy who only knew how to fool around, but he said it deliberately.
Well, another person who can refine mid-level elixirs but doesn’t know his name. Zu Xiang glanced around and then continued:
"Well, it doesn't matter whether you know it or not. I heard that you can refine mid-level elixirs. Is this true?"
"good."
"Well, that's good. I'll buy all the mid-level elixirs you have. The price is whatever you want. In the future..."
The next thing Zu Xiang wanted to say was, "I will take all the intermediate elixirs available in the future." However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Suijie's two words.
"Not for sale."
"What?" Zu Xiang became angry and asked fiercely, "Say it again!"
Qin Suijie deliberately slowed down and emphasized:
"I said, I won't sell my mid-level elixir."
"Do you... do you know who I am... um... do you know who my grandfather is?"
"have no idea."
"The ancestor of Bibotan in Shuiyun Valley, that is my grandfather. If you offend me, do you know what will happen?"
"Haha, it's you who came to buy the elixir, not the ancestor elder. If I don't sell you the elixir, is it possible that the ancestor elder of Bibotan will condescend to come to Qixia Mountain to find me, a qi refining disciple, to raise an army to punish him? ? I don’t think so…”
"you……"
Zu Xiang's lungs were about to burst with anger. Indeed, as Qin Suijie said, he couldn't buy his mid-level elixir, but he couldn't ask his grandfather to support him, and he didn't even dare to go back. Talk about it.
The reason why dandies become dandies is not because their elders are willing to let them act recklessly, but because of various reasons. Those elders are either suffering from their own cultivation or trapped in things within the sect, so they relax the discipline of their children and grandchildren. But The things they do outside are definitely worthy of discipline in the eyes of the elders, especially the ancestor elder of Bibotan. His cultivation is at a critical level, so how can he bother to control Zu Xiang? But if Zu Xiang If Xiang blindly uses this matter to rub off on his ancestors, he will inevitably suffer the pain of being grounded.
Therefore, even if Zu Xiang was extremely angry, there was nothing he could do against Qin Sui at this time and place.
"Okay, okay, just wait, I'll let you know how awesome I am later!"
That's all it could do, Zu Xiang didn't have the guts to do something in the sect, so he could only say a few harsh words and then leave.
"stop."
Just when Zu Xiang turned around angrily and was about to take the woman away, Qin Suijie behind him called him.
"What, you changed your mind?"
"That's not true." Qin Suijie smiled softly and threw a small bottle to Zu Xiang. "This is for you, so that your visit will not be in vain."
"You do know how to be a good person..."
Zu Xiang opened the small bottle as he spoke. He was a dandy, but he also had some discernment. He immediately understood that there was only one pill in the bottle, and that pill was not the mid-level Yuan Yang Pill he wanted.
"What's this?"
"This, it's called Shuang Sheng Dan."
"What's the use of it after taking it?"
"After taking it, there will naturally be benefits." When Qin Suijie said this, his eyes glanced at the woman beside Zu Xiang intentionally or unintentionally. This detail was keenly captured by Zu Xiang. He seemed to understand, but he Some hesitation.
"How do I know this isn't poison?"
"Ha! If you die, I will pay for it with my life," Qin Suijie smiled and stretched out his hand. "If you don't want it, just give it back to me."
Subconsciously, Zu Xiang retracted his hand to avoid Qin Suijie's outstretched hand.
When Qin Suijie saw that he was satisfied, he continued:
"I have two things to say. First, don't be greedy; second, next time this pill will not be given away for free. If Mr. Zu still needs it, each pill will cost thirty spiritual stones."
"So expensive!"
"Haha, Mr. Zu will know once you try it, my elixir is definitely worth the money!"
Zu Xiang quickly pulled the woman away, while Qin Suijie stayed there for a while, and finally sighed and walked into his small courtyard.
What he lamented was that in order to achieve his wish, he had to tarnish his reputation first!
