Tian Xiaoding went to steal the Tianyang Pearl for the second time, but still failed.
The people responsible for guarding the sect's ancestral hall in April were actually Qin Taibao and another Shouyang Peak inner disciple.
Perhaps it was because Qin Taibao thought it was too deserted for two people to stay in the ancestral hall, so he called four of his good friends to the ancestral hall.
At night, the six of them actually played cards all night long. Xiao Ding squatted in the corner of the ancestral hall courtyard and waited until the fourth watch. The six people in the room were still playing happily and had no intention of breaking up.
Seeing that there was no hope of stealing again tonight, Xiao Ding had no choice but to climb out over the wall and return to Tingfeng Cliff.
We were careful along the way, but there were no accidents.
After returning to Tingfeng Cliff, Xiaoding still went to the cave on the top of the cliff to catch up on his sleep.
Get up after dawn and continue your daily practice.
However, Xiao Ding has never been able to steal the Tianyang Pearl, which makes Xiao Ding feel uneasy.
Although the fake Tianyang Pearl can last for three months, and it has been less than a month since the activation of the Qiankun Pot, in terms of time, he has enough time.
However, he tried to steal twice without success, which made Xiao Ding a little frustrated. It seems that this treasure is really not that easy to get.
If you want to steal the Tianyang Pearl, you must first get rid of the person guarding the ancestral hall.
The two people guarding the ancestral hall this month are not as advanced as the two people guarding the temple last month, which is a good thing for Xiao Ding.
After all, people with high cultivation levels are extremely difficult for Xiao Ding to deal with, even if they attack in secret.
As for Qin Taibao and the other Shouyang Peak disciple, Xiao Ding used his Heavenly Eye Technique to check last night. Both of them were at the fifth level of Qi training, which was about the same level as himself. In this case, he should still have a chance.
However, Qin Taibao always likes to ask his four followers to accompany him, which is a bit troublesome.
After all, if you want to steal something, it will be easier if there are few guards, but if there are many guards, it will not be so easy.
However, if you want to enter the Immortal Pagoda to steal the Tianyang Pearl, you must first steal the jade tablet that can open the enchantment of the Immortal Pagoda and the set of keys to the door from the hands of the person guarding the ancestral hall. Otherwise, even the Immortal Pagoda cannot be entered, so how can we steal the Tianyang Pearl?
How can we steal the jade token and key from Qin Taibao and the other guard?
Xiao Ding fell into deep thought.
Relying on force to grab it will definitely not work. Let alone whether he can beat Qin Taibao and the other two, even if he can, if he makes too much noise in the ancestral hall and alerts the people in the front mountain, he will only be caught.
What's more, Qin Taibao would often call his four followers to accompany him. If he had to fight hard, he would definitely die.
Then you can only outsmart it!
Tune the tiger away from the mountain? I'm afraid it won't be easy either.
After all, there is more than one person on the other side. If you make some noise and let the other side chase them out, wouldn't your work be in vain if the other side doesn't chase them all out? What's more, if you make any noise, you will be exposed easily.
What if a fire is set in the ancestral hall? What's worse, a fire in the ancestral hall of the sect in the back mountain will easily alert the people in the front mountain. Even if he takes the opportunity to steal the jade token and key, he will have no chance to enter the Immortal Pagoda.
The only feasible way is to steal the jade token and key without the other party being aware of it, and then sneak into the tower without anyone noticing. Only then can you have a chance to steal the Tianyang Pearl.
But, is this too difficult?
How can we prevent the guards in that house from noticing?
Unless you knock them all out one by one.
But I simply don't have the ability to knock them out.
Since they can't be knocked unconscious, can they be knocked unconscious in other ways? Xiao Ding thought so.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately thought of a good idea: get some poison and stun all the people in the room.
However, he does not have such poison in his hands now.
Using poison that can stun people cannot kill them. If they poison people to death, then the matter of stealing the Tianyang Pearl will soon be exposed.
When it comes to using poisons, Xiao Ding is relatively new to it. He immediately thought of the confidante Tang Yunzhi he met after traveling to the Song Dynasty on earth. Tang Yunzhi came from the Tang Sect in Sichuan and was good at using poisons and hidden weapons. It would be much easier to handle her if she were here. .
Unfortunately, after Tang Yunzhi jumped into the space-time teleportation array in the vortex of the Bermuda Triangle with him, she didn't know where she was teleported. There were ten people in total who jumped into the teleportation array with him. Except for himself and Su Lanlan, the other eight people now have no information at all.
Since Tang Yunzhi was not around, he had no choice but to find another way.
Xiao Ding thought of refining medicine.
I have made elixirs myself, and poison is also medicine, but the formula is different. It is better to find a formula yourself and mix some poison.
Xiao Ding immediately thought of his book "Six Hours of Alchemy". This book not only recorded the art of alchemy, but also recorded many kinds of elixirs. Maybe there would be poison formulas in it.
So, Xiao Ding immediately took out the book from the space and started to read it.
Xiao Ding already knew the alchemy part of this book by heart. It was just the Danfang part. There was too much content, and he hadn't had time to read it all.
After reading for a long time, he almost finished the entire book, but he still couldn't find the recipe for any poison.
The elixir prescriptions introduced in the book are all prescriptions related to cultivation, and there are no poison prescriptions that can be used to harm people.
This time Xiao Ding was worried and put away the "Six Hours of Alchemy" and took out the "Secret Book of Alchemy".
This "Secret Book of Alchemy" is the same as "Six Hours of Alchemy". They are both classics of the Yuqing sect in the Song Dynasty. Later, Xiao Ding accidentally obtained them.
He actually copied it into his mind through his spiritual consciousness at that time from the jade slip in a space magic weapon belonging to his friend Yue Yurou. Because he had reached the third level of Qi training at that time, his brain had the ability of photographic memory. So I recorded all the contents of these two books in my brain.
Later, he was worried that he would forget it after a long time, so he found time to copy the contents of these two books and kept them in his jade pendant space.
This move proved necessary. Because although his brain could copy all the contents on the jade slip into his mind at that time, if he did not read the contents in his mind later, he would indeed forget the contents in his mind over time.
After taking out the "Secret Book of Alchemy", he continued to read it carefully.
This "Secret Book of Alchemy" mainly records the identification methods of various herbal spiritual plants, spiritual stones and other alchemy materials. It also introduces some related knowledge such as alchemy furnaces and spiritual fires.
Xiao Ding consulted this book mainly to see if there were any medicinal herbs that could make people faint. If you can't make poison yourself, you might as well find a ready-made herb to use.
Not to mention, after careful research, Xiao Ding finally found an herb called psychedelic incense, which has the effect of making people faint.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also found some herbs that can repel mosquitoes. This is also very useful for Xiao Ding. He often goes to the Soul Burial Mountain. The mosquitoes in the Soul Burial Mountain are like small bombers. If they are sucked blood, they will probably drain the blood from the body.
If you have herbs that can repel insects and take them with you, you will not attract mosquitoes and other insects.
However, the psychedelic incense and mosquito repellent herbs that Xiao Ding found were not spiritual plants, but just some common grass plants.
So, in the next few days, when Xiaoding went hunting in Tingfengya, he began to pay attention and began to look for these kinds of grass plants on the back mountain of Kuiyang Peak.
Mosquito repellent herbs are easy to find. And that psychedelic fragrance is not so easy to come across.
It had just entered April, and there were no mosquitoes here in Tianyang Mountain. Although Xiao Ding collected a lot of mosquito repellent herbs, he only temporarily put them in the cave on the top of Tingfeng Cliff to dry them.
After all these herbs are dry, crush them into pieces and put them in a cloth bag, so that small insects such as mosquitoes will not get close to you.
After searching for four or five days, Xiao Ding still could not find the psychedelic incense on the mountain. This made Xiao Ding anxious.
If we continue to delay like this, when will we be able to steal the Tianyang Pearl?
On this day, he was planning to continue looking for psychedelic incense by going hunting down the cliff.
Suddenly, I saw two more people walking over from the front mountain.
The two people who came over were none other than senior sisters Cheng Yaowu and Su Lanlan.
Obviously, they came to visit Xiao Ding again.
When Xiao Ding saw the two coming, he naturally went down the cliff to greet them.
After welcoming the two of them to the top of the cliff, they entered the cave on the top of the cliff. Su Lanlan looked at the big rocks at the entrance of the cave and asked with concern: "Brother Xiao Ding, how are you doing lately? The cliff is so cold. not cold?"
Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I'm used to the environment here."
But the senior sister happily said to Xiao Ding: "Junior brother Tian, I have good news to tell you. What do you think I got?"
When Xiao Ding saw Senior Sister's joy, he knew that she must be up to something good, so he guessed: "Could it be that Senior Sister has refined the Foundation Building Pill?"
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Tian, you are really smart!" Senior Sister praised him with her thumb.
This time it was Xiao Ding's turn to be surprised. He asked again in surprise: "Senior Sister, have you really refined the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
The senior sister smiled mysteriously and said, "Why, you still don't believe me?"
Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "I don't believe it!"
But the senior sister curled her lips, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, handed it to Xiao Ding, and said, "Don't believe it? Then look at what this is?"
Xiao Ding took the bottle, opened the lid, stretched out his nose and smelled it, and he could smell the elixir exuding the smell of the five-element spiritual plant. This was definitely a foundation-building elixir!
His eyes widened in shock, he looked at Senior Sister up and down several times, and said: "I didn't expect that, after three days of separation, I am so impressed that Senior Sister can actually refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's amazing, amazing!"
The senior sister laughed loudly and said: "You are wrong. Although I got the Foundation Establishment Pill, I did not refine this pill, hahaha..."
