Qin Shuyun left her two junior brothers behind and rushed to Tianyu Peak with her sword happily. She saw two beautiful figures working in the vegetable fields below, so she landed directly. The sound arrived before the people arrived.
"Senior sister knew that I was coming to beg for food, so she took Mo Lan to choose vegetables in the garden beforehand."
Mo Lan raised her head, saw the person clearly, and said with some joy: "It's Fifth Sister here."
In addition to practicing every day, Qin Shuyun would come to Tianyu Peak to play whenever he had free time, and he naturally became familiar with Mo Lan.
After Hua Yunying concentrated on finishing the work in her hands, she raised her head and looked at Qin Shuyun, "Junior sister seems to be in a good mood today. Are you interested in telling us about it?"
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from senior sister. I took on a big deal today."
"Big deal? With whom?" Hua Yunying asked cooperatively when she saw Qin Shuyun pause in speaking and pretend to be secretive.
"Uncle Master Dongfang just exchanged some things with me, and this Flower God Brew is my reward." Qin Shuyun shook the porcelain bottle in his hand proudly.
"Flower God's Brew is an extremely rare thing. It's really a big deal if you can exchange it for it." After Hua Yunying glanced at the porcelain vase, she leaned down and continued to tidy up the vegetable garden, unaffected by Qin Shuyun's arrival.
Mo Lan, however, had long been distracted by Qin Shuyun's experience, "Dongfang Ming, is that uncle who smells of alcohol and looks fierce?"
Qin Shuyun teased: "It's true that he smells of alcohol, but he doesn't look fierce. Maybe Xiao Molan has been bullied by him, so he is called fierce."
Mo Lan did not respond directly, but attacked from a different angle, "He and Uncle Dongfang Dark Master are obviously brothers, why are their personalities so different?"
Qin Shuyun chuckled and said, "How do I know this? You should ask their parents."
Her hearty laugh made Mo Lan laugh too.
After laughing for a while, Mo Lan then asked: "What is the purpose of Fifth Sister coming here today? I just heard you talk about it in the sky, maybe you are here to have a meal again."
Hua Yunying, who had been silent all this time, also took up the conversation, "Junior sister always eats well, but I am like a cook, cooking food for people every day."
Qin Shuyun retorted: "Senior Sister's cooking skills are well known to everyone in Xuanming Taoism. It's a pity that you can't get it when you ask for it. Everyone longs for a meal, but when it comes to Senior Sister's mouth, she becomes a waiter."
"I'm not Master Dongfang yet. If you have nothing to do, bring some unknown game over here and ask Third Sister to make some delicacies for him to eat."
Qin Shuyun had a different opinion, "Oh? Master Dongfang Ming also comes here often? That's normal. If I were him, it wouldn't be a waste if I didn't have some good food to save all the fine wine."
Mo Lan pouted and said, "He didn't waste it, but he kept us busy."
Qin Shuyun reassured: "It doesn't matter. I just made a deal with Uncle Dongfang Ming and asked me to go to his wine shop to get a jar of wine. I can choose whatever I want. Do Senior Sister and Mo Lan have any wine they want to drink? Let’s discuss it and cook a suitable meal then, wouldn’t it be nice?”
Mo Lan clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Fifth sister is really amazing. She can actually pluck the feathers from a rooster like Uncle Dongfang Mingshi."
"Mild praise, ridiculous praise."
When Hua Yunying in the vegetable garden heard this, she suddenly stood up, turned around and asked, "Uncle Dongfang paid such a high price? What did he go to you to exchange for?"
Qin Shuyun said: "Nothing, I want some Yuan Dan, but the quantity is a bit large."
"Yuan Dan?" Hua Yunying paused for a moment, but soon figured it out, "I think it's for my junior brother. It looks like he needs a lot of pills."
"Senior sister is right, it will probably take tens of thousands of pills."
Mo Lan was startled and said, "Is it for Brother You? What are all these elixirs used for?"
Hua Yunying thought for a while and said: "Junior brother has a spiritual root. Uncle Dongfang's move should be to stimulate his potential to the limit. Such a large amount of medicine cannot be dissolved in a short time. It seems that it will Needed for cultivation in the next few years.”
Qin Shuyun realized something was wrong at this moment and asked: "You shouldn't need so many elixirs. Do you want to wait for my junior brother to advance to the Xuan Realm to continue using them? But then wouldn't it be better to use another high-level elixir? .”
Hua Yunying had already guessed the key point and said: "Based on my expectation, the junior brother may not be able to improve his level within a few years, but will focus on laying the foundation for the basic level. This will require a lot of energy. Dan as a complement.”
Qin Shuyun was startled, "No matter how deep the zhenqi in the foundation-building realm is, what's the point? It would be more direct to control the spiritual energy by ascending to the moon-watching realm this morning."
Mo Lan asked Hua Yunying anxiously, "Yes, Third Sister, Brother You won't have his talent wasted, right?"
Hua Yunying just said: "I think Senior Uncle Dongfang has his own plans. He has a profound realm and has been with Junior Brother for a long time. The decisions he makes are not something that we can understand. If I have a chance, I can ask Master to find out. I know Master Dongfang’s plan.”
Then she changed the topic and said solemnly to Qin Shuyun: "Junior sister, I heard that my junior brother went to Chihuo Peak to practice. He consumes a lot of Qi every day. Without the help of elixirs, he can't last long. I don't know how many yuan you have in your hands. Dan inventory?”
Qin Shuyun smiled and said: "How can there be such a thing in Danyang Peak? If it were not for the disciples to learn alchemy, we would generally not come into contact with such low-level elixirs. However, there are still some elixirs in stock, and some yuan elixirs can be refined. I should be able to use it for a few days."
Hua Yunying said: "What happens after that? Do you have a plan?"
Qin Shuyun said: "Of course I will go out and buy some elixirs and come back and continue refining them."
Hua Yunying said: "I'm afraid there is not enough time. It will take about a month for the latest batch of herbal medicines to arrive in Jianzhou City. By then, my junior brother has already stopped using the elixirs, which will delay his cultivation. Junior sister must prepare as soon as possible. I have some materials here for refining Yuan Dan, you can take them back together later."
Qin Shuyun was very smart. She had not noticed it beforehand. At this moment, she calculated carefully and knew that Hua Yunying was right. There was no way she dared to delay. Before even having a drink of water at Tianyu Peak, he hurried away again.
…
Tens of thousands of pills are not difficult at first, but the process of collecting them is not easy. It can be said that most of the disciples do not want to take over. The materials reserved on Danyang Peak are enough to refine one hundred and eighty pills, but it is far more than that. Not as much as Dongfang Ming needs.
In fact, tens of thousands of pills cannot be refined in a short time, and it takes time to purchase them. You Ziji does not urgently need tens of thousands of pills, as long as he can maintain his practice. But the problem is that after the Danyang Peak's elixir material reserves are exhausted, there will be a long blank period before new materials arrive. You Ziji cannot renew the elixir. Wouldn't this be a waste of time? If Danyang Peak's reputation is ruined, he will be punished when Master Qin Xiao comes back.
Zou Shun took time out of his busy schedule to ask Dou Zhen, who was also refining elixirs behind him: "Junior brother, how many more elixirs can we refine?"
"It's almost exhausted. At the current speed, we won't have any extra materials in a few hours." Dou Zhen replied casually.
This Yuan Dan is just one level higher than the Qi Rejuvenation Pill. With their strength, the two of them have already trained this simple refining process into a functional one, and it does not require too much energy and attention.
Zou Shun had a bitter look on his face. Less than a day had passed and the materials were exhausted. "It seems that we have to go to Third Senior Sister again to get some materials. Maybe we can plant some more in Tianyu Peak's spiritual field. Or you can ask a few junior brothers and sisters to help."
Dou Zhen retorted: "Even if the third senior sister can plant it, it will take a few days. As for the junior brothers and sisters, they still have to practice. How can anyone be willing to spend energy planting some low-level spiritual grass? Besides, such a boring thing is just for you and me." People don’t want to waste more time.”
Zou Shun said helplessly: "Then we can only go outside. We may be able to order a batch of elixirs in Jianzhou City. We will use them to meet our urgent needs first. When the materials purchased by Fourth Senior Sister come back, we can almost continue."
"That's all we can do."
The two of them continued to work on elixirs, and an hour later, they sent dozens of elixirs to Dongfang Ming.
When he returned to Danyang Peak, he met Qin Shuyun who had returned.
Dou Zhen asked directly: "Senior sister, how is the matter with the medicinal materials?"
"It's not very good. I went to the Chamber of Commerce and asked. The fastest delivery of the medicinal materials here will take more than 20 days. There's no way we can make it in time."
Zou Shun said bitterly: "What should we do? Is there any buying and selling of Yuan Dan in the outside world?"
"I also asked about this. Yuan Dan is a cultivation elixir that is widely circulated in the cultivation world. In addition to casual cultivators, there are also many sects that cannot refine elixirs. The base is huge, so the chamber of commerce does not dare to monopolize it and has always maintained Supply, if someone like me wants tens of thousands of pills at a time, it will directly disrupt the entire market."
Dou Zhen said: "Senior sister, it's not like she didn't even buy some elixirs."
"Not at all." Qin Shuyun took out three porcelain bottles, "They only let me buy these at most at one time."
After saying that, she lay on the table dejectedly. Unexpectedly, the greatest frustration in her life was caused by low-level pills, and her outlook on life became gloomy.
Seeing her like this, Zou Shun and Dou Zhen knew they couldn't count on her anymore, so they turned around and left Danyang Peak to find a solution elsewhere.
Since each person cannot buy more than thirty pills, it is better to directly mobilize the power of the masses and gather the power of the second generation disciples of Xuan Ming Dao to buy one each.
Soon this appeal swept all the disciples, and they spontaneously went to Jianzhou City to buy Yuan Dan.
The shopkeeper of the city's chamber of commerce has been in Jianzhou City for so long, and he is usually very observant of people's movements. How could he not identify the identities of these people these days?
As soon as a young talent was sent away, the clerk returned to the house and asked the shopkeeper, "This is already the sixteenth time. Shopkeeper, do we still sell it?"
The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face. He knew that the ancestors in front of him were all disciples of Xuan Ming Dao, which was one of the six major sects in the world. Let alone buying things, even if they directly robbed his shop, the forces behind him would also be affected. He came to the door in a friendly manner and promised that if the other party was short of money, he would give it to him immediately, so there was no need to rob him. If he felt something was not pleasing to his eyes, he would change his opinion on the spot.
Therefore, others can only buy five yuan pills at most at a time, but when it is Xuan Mingdao's turn, they can sell thirty pills at a time. If this continues, his store will soon run out of inventory. When Xuan Mingdao leaves, he will be unable to explain to other customers.
But he can't blame others, who makes him want to curry favor with others.
"What should we do? You have to let these ancestors buy it. Go to other stores to buy some Yuan Dan. You won't hesitate to pay a high price. Whether our Jubaozhai can survive depends on whether we can hold on. "
After three or four days like this, a group of chambers of commerce were complaining, for no other reason than that the stocks of each house had reached the red line. If this continued, the food for the lower-level monks would be really cut off, and they would not be able to carry around.
The senior people behind the Chamber of Commerce simply gritted their teeth and went directly to Xuanming Road to find Gu Xuan, knowing that they would die.
A group of old men lit talismans in an attic from the boundary of Xuanming Road to the center of the main road. The golden light that spread across the Xuanming Road awakened Gu Xuan. He stepped on the black clouds and traveled more than ten miles in an instant, escaping into the attic.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and they were startled. However, they were relieved when they saw that it was Gu Xuan. They secretly praised this man's unfathomable cultivation, and the two moon-watching monks in the crowd were also ashamed.
Then, everyone started wailing together, leaving Gu Xuan stunned.
"Oh, little friend Gu Xuan, we have finally met you."
"If our Longzhou Chamber of Commerce has done anything wrong, please bring it up directly, please let us understand what happened."
"Yes, if Xuan Ming Dao has any regulations, just tell us directly. Why send disciples to threaten us."
After the old men had vented their emotions, Gu Xuancai raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Seniors have said so much, but I still don't know what it is. Can you tell me?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but seeing that Gu Xuan's words seemed sincere and unaware of the truth, they introduced a respected senior and said to Gu Xuan: "The disciples of your sect have been coming to purchase Yuan Dan for several days, affecting our business and driving us to a dead end. .”
Gu Xuan looked solemn and said: "How can there be such scum among the disciples of Xuanming Dao? They didn't pay, or they destroyed the store. I will definitely destroy them when I go back."
His voice was stern, and what he said did not seem to be false, but it shocked these monks. If the explanation was not clear and the Xuan Ming Dao disciples were framed, they would be in even worse trouble after finding out.
"No, no, I misunderstood. It's just that they bought too many Yuan Dan and we don't have enough inventory. I'm afraid it will affect the casual cultivators around Jianzhou City. This Yuan Dan is a low-level elixir. I think Xuan Ming Dao uses it." We didn’t get it, so we thought this move was to beat us up, so we asked our little friend to find out, but now it seems it was just a misunderstanding.”
Gu Xuan pondered for a moment and remembered that some disciples did go out to buy elixirs today, but he did not expect the impact to be so serious. "I'm really sorry, seniors. The lack of discipline among the disciples has caused you trouble."
All the monks said in fear: "I don't dare, I don't dare, the disciples of your sect are all very polite."
If these disciples were punished for buying elixirs in the future and came back to take revenge, these people would not be able to bear it.
They added: "If Xuan Mingdao wants Yuan Dan, we can order a batch, but we just have to wait a few more months."
Gu Xuandao: "I won't bother you all for now. I will consider whether to order the elixir after I go back and ask the matter clearly."
"Where, where."
"No trouble, no trouble."
…
When Gu Xuan returned to Xuanming Dao, he had already finished his morning classes. His junior brothers and sisters had already dispersed. He didn't know where they had gone, and it was very difficult to find them. He simply went straight to Ji Wenyi. After all, he had to give Ji Wenyi special training every day.
When he arrived at Ji Wenyi's residence, Gu Xuan was surprised to see Ji Wenyi already waiting for him here.
"I've met Second Senior Brother."
"The sun is out in the west today. Why are you so positive?" Gu Xuan looked at Ji Wenyi carefully and found that he had changed his outfit and turned into a rich young man. "Do you want to go out?"
Ji Wenyi smiled and said, "Yes, I have to ask for leave from my second senior brother after morning class, but my senior brother left in a hurry and I didn't have time to say anything."
Gu Xuan frowned, "If you don't practice hard, what are you going to do?"
Ji Wenyi explained: "Second senior brother, don't you know? Our junior brother needs some Yuan Dan for practice recently, but each person can buy it in a fixed amount at the shop in Jianzhou City. The other senior brothers and sisters have already been there once, and now it is their turn. I."
Gu Xuan felt funny for a while, "Is this what you want?"
"Of course, Second Senior Brother will not think that I am taking the opportunity to go out to play."
"It doesn't matter whether you go out to play or not now. I just told the person in charge of the Jianzhou City Chamber of Commerce that in the future, the disciples of Xuanmingdao will not be able to buy pills when they go to the store."
Ji Wenyi was stunned and murmured: "Even if senior brother is afraid that I will delay my cultivation and won't let me go out, he won't go to such an extent."
Gu Xuan gave him a slap in the face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? The chamber of commerce outside has been tortured by us so much that we can no longer harm them."
Ji Wenyi said: "So that's it. Don't worry, senior brother. Have you forgotten about our Ji Family Chamber of Commerce? I can just go to my house and buy it."
When Gu Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up, this was a good idea, and he said: "You are right, the Ji family must have saved a batch of Yuan Dan. I am sure you will go home to visit the bride, and you can play for a few more days. , but remember to get some Yuan Dan back for your junior brother to practice. How much money do you need, go to my place to get it."
"Really?! Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"
"Go ahead."
Ji Wenyi was afraid that Gu Xuan would regret it, so he ran away quickly.
…
You Ziji has run out of medicine. The pills that his brothers and sisters went out to buy for him have been used up, but he doesn't know how long it will take for the next batch of pills to arrive.
In just a few days, his true energy had grown a lot, and even without the elixir, he was still obsessed with the process of practicing and increasing his strength, but all this was stopped by Dongfang Ming.
"Your true energy has increased too fast now, and your control over it is no longer as good as before. You need to calm down in the past few days to avoid using brute force. Besides, you need to take a good rest after pushing your own potential for many days. "
You Ziji followed Dongfang Ming's arrangement and thought he was alarmist at first. However, after he returned, except for the palm techniques he had always been proficient in, all his other moves became somewhat unfamiliar, as if his hands and feet were not his own. He worked hard and intensified his training, hoping to regain control of this rapidly growing strength as soon as possible. I didn't want my movements to become stiffer and out of shape, my movements to be sluggish, and my spirit to be very sleepy, so I had to go back to sleep and rest.
He slept for a day and a night. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and all the discomfort in his body disappeared. He did not get up, but continued to lie on the bed greedily, feeling the tranquility of the moment.
He thought to himself that it was not the right time to practice martial arts at this moment, so he should do something, so he took out the red feather fan. Since he brought this red feather fan to him, apart from communicating with his spiritual consciousness every day to get familiar with it, he has never really understood it.
You Ziji held the feather fan in his hand, and his mind sank into it, echoing his spiritual consciousness.
His spiritual consciousness turned into a light group, and he integrated the small light group formed by the feather fan's spiritual consciousness into it, feeling the other person's emotional fluctuations.
As time goes by, Hong Feather Fan is no longer afraid of contradicting You Ziji. At this moment, You Ziji can clearly feel the meaning of each emotion conveyed in Hong Feather Fan's spiritual consciousness. He goes further and goes deeper. Deep in his spiritual consciousness, he understands its abilities in more detail.
Unlike ordinary monks, You Ziji cannot use the red feather fan to prevent damage to it, so until now, its ability is not known.
At this moment, wisps of information entered his mind, letting him know how powerful the red feather fan was.
Its most basic power is to summon a ball of blazing flames by waving it. This is the power it had when it was still in the hands of its original owner. It has become more powerful after being blessed by the feathers of the fire bird.
The second method is to summon fire feathers to shoot at enemies. You Ziji has learned this new ability at Chihuo Peak, and it is more than enough to deal with some miscellaneous soldiers. For example, the living corpses encountered in Zijun City can be dealt with by this method.
The third type, You Ziji, has also experienced, which is to rely on the essence and blood of fierce beasts on the fan to turn into a fire phoenix, which is astonishingly powerful. You Ziji also asked Fourth Senior Brother Bao Shan that this gem was called Fire Phoenix Stone, and it was said to be formed by the blood of a phoenix spilled on the stone. However, this was only a legend because there were no legendary creatures like dragons and phoenixes in the world.
The fourth type is to induce the ultimate energy contained in it to leave the fire. Although it is not as good as the true fire of samadhi, its power is extraordinary and not inferior to the true fire of the sun. However, if you rely on the red feather fan to use it by yourself, it will consume a lot of spiritual power, and it will also be a huge burden on its spiritual consciousness.
At this thought, You Ziji began to feel a little sorry for Hong Yufan. With such a freak like him, he had to control himself even in fights.
The red feather fan seemed to sense his thoughts and released emotions to comfort him, just like the newborn beast clinging to You Ziji's side, making his heart more peaceful.
At this moment, the realm barrier blocking him had been pried open, and it was broken through without any effort.
You Ziji was startled, thinking that he had been promoted to the mysterious realm, so he immediately withdrew his consciousness to check carefully, and finally found that it was a false alarm. It turned out that he had been practicing the Five Consciousness Art for a long time, which awakened his talent that had been suppressed. Finally, his spiritual consciousness broke through the obstacles and reached a higher level.
He immediately put the thought of being lazy in bed behind him, got up and started experimenting. Sure enough, with the blessing of enhanced divine consciousness, he was able to regain control of the increased power.
