Early the next morning, Zhao Qing bought food, porridge and vegetables from the alley.
After the two of them had eaten, his wife helped him tidy up his clothes and stood at the door to watch him leave.
Zhao Qing did not wander around. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the city early in the morning, he planned to go to Xifang to buy spiritual herbs at Xueyi Building.
This time, in addition to buying the spirit-devouring grass, I also wanted to buy a tiger bone, the bone of a demon tiger.
This is the main component of another elixir - Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Zhao Qing has long been eyeing this pill.
After years of accumulation, he has already reached the bottleneck of the third level of Qi refining. Even though he has been squeezing the spiritual energy for days, he can faintly feel the loosening of the realm, but still can't find a chance to break through.
All the spiritual energy around the body can only gather at the Dantian, and can never pass through that vague barrier.
And in his alchemy knowledge, there is a certain elixir that has miraculous effects on this situation.
Marrow Cleansing Pill: The ninth step of refining Qi is three fields, three passes, and three orifices. The three passes begin with the tail gate. If the tail gate is not broken, the three passes will be difficult to complete...
He noticed that in addition to a detailed explanation of the elixir, the recipe for the Marrow Cleansing Pill also vaguely mentioned the most fundamental mystery of the Qi Refining Realm, which he had never been exposed to before.
The first three levels of Qi refining focus on the Dantian, the middle three levels focus on the roots and bones, and the last three levels focus on spiritual consciousness.
So to be precise, the Qi refining period should be the collective name of the three realms. That is, refining Qi, refining body, and refining spirit.
As for breaking through the middle stage of Qi refining, the most critical thing is to clear the three passes, from under the Dantian to Tianling, Weulu Pass, Jiaji Pass, and Yuzhen Pass. Each pass is a level of realm.
If the monk's own spiritual power cannot break through the three levels, one situation is that the spiritual power accumulation is not enough, the second situation... is that his own qualifications are too poor and he has not laid a good foundation.
Obviously, Zhao Qing falls into the second situation. He needs the Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse the menstruation and cut the marrow to assist in breakthrough.
The second time I came to the Blood Clothes Building, although I still couldn't adapt to the spiritual pressure here, I was not as embarrassed as the last time.
Still in the elegant room, he ordered half a catty of spirit-devouring grass and a piece of tiger demon bone, which cost a total of eighteen spirit stones.
After the female cultivator brought the two exquisite wooden boxes, Zhao Qing paid the spiritual stone, drank the spiritual tea in the cup, and left.
But he never thought that the female cultivator would actually stop him.
"Fellow."
Zhao Qing stopped and turned around in confusion.
"Do you have any elixirs you need to sell, fellow Taoist?"
"No." He shook his head directly.
The female cultivator smiled apologetically and said, "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. The little girl's name is Wan'er. I just want to remind you that the price of healing elixirs may have increased recently. If you have any, you might as well give it to me." etc."
Healing elixir? Prices going to increase?
But what does this have to do with me? I didn’t refine the healing elixir.
Zhao Qing nodded slightly and asked: "How many spiritual stones have you collected for the Qi Gathering Pill?"
The female cultivator named Wan'er smiled slightly: "Do you want to sell these two spiritual stones, fellow Taoist?"
"No sale, farewell."
Zhao Qing left the Xueyi Building angrily. After going out, he looked up at the huge plaque and was speechless for a while.
This Blood Clothes Building is simply a strange flower. It actually recycles the elixir at the original price...
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Zhao Qing felt like he had lost a hundred million at this moment, and his heart was bleeding. He had been busy all day yesterday, but he still lost a lot of spiritual stones.
What the hell... what the hell! What the hell!
But when I think about it, I feel relieved. If I don’t go to Dongfang, I won’t meet fellow Taoist Le’an. If I don’t meet fellow Taoist Le’an, I won’t get the Golden Light Talisman.
He just couldn't understand why Xueyilou wanted to buy the elixir at the original price?
After adjusting his mentality, he was ready to leave Xifang and buy other medicinal materials elsewhere.
However, when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure.
"Miao Jian?"
A young man in handyman uniforms was patrolling the street. When he heard someone calling his name, he turned around and his eyes suddenly brightened a lot.
Miao Jian stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Brother Zhao, you are also here in Xifang."
Zhao Qing hummed indifferently and asked, "Why are you here?"
The young man took out a wooden sign from his sleeve, and Zhao Qing recognized it at a glance. It was the patrol sign of the inner sect brother.
"Senior Brother Ma Zhe... Well, I have some important matters to deal with. I have been arranged to come to Xifang to patrol. I have been patrolling all night."
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment and decided not to discuss this topic again. After all, everyone has his own ambitions.
Then he asked: "That night you went to inform the senior brother on duty in the kitchen room, what happened to the movement on Shouyun Mountain?"
Miao Jian looked excited after hearing this. He leaned closer and whispered: "Senior Brother Zhao, you are still experienced! We went down the mountain that night. Something big happened on Shouyun Mountain!"
Zhao Qing was speechless. Isn't this nonsense? What's the big deal?
Just listen to Miao Jian continue to say: "The senior brother on duty later notified the elders. Unfortunately, when the elders arrived, there was no movement on the mountain. And then... I am not qualified to listen, so I don't know."
"It's just that regarding this matter, the sect didn't make any explanation the next day. They just informed Zaofang not to go up the mountain for the time being. But Senior Brother Ma Zhe mentioned to me last night that the Golden Core Demon King should have appeared on Shouyun Mountain!"
Zhao Qing instantly stood on his head. "Golden Core Demon King!?"
"It's the gossip that Senior Brother Ma Zhe got. It's absolutely reliable. Besides Senior Brother, it's said that many people in the city also got the news!"
Zhao Qing was stunned for a long time before he regained his composure, golden elixir!
He looked at Miao Jian in surprise: "Then what are you going to do?"
Miao Jian shook his head slightly: "I don't know either. Shouyun Mountain accounts for a full third of Danxia Sect. If something happens, I don't think the sect will ignore its disciples."
"Also, Elder Jindan has also gone to check. There should be plans to annihilate the demon king in the future. At the worst, he will arrange for the entire kitchen to be relocated... If it doesn't work, I will move to the city."
Zhao Qing nodded slowly, chatted for a few more words, and then parted ways with Miao Jian and left Xifang.
Something strange happened at night in Shouyun Mountain... The Golden Elixir Demon King was born... The price of healing elixirs increased...
While he was going in and out of Danfang Pharmacy and purchasing other medicinal materials, he was carefully sorting out what he had seen today.
"Senior Brother Ma Zhe's gossip... there should be no problem. After all, being able to become an inner disciple requires at least a foundation-building level of cultivation. One can imagine his wide range of contacts."
"But why did the sect say nothing?"
Zhao Qing was puzzled. Although he still had some doubts about Miao Jian's statement, he had no intention of going back to the kitchen to inquire about the news. Curiosity would not only kill the cat.
It wasn't until evening that he purchased all the needed medicinal materials and other sundries, leaving only four spiritual stones.
After buying some more spiritual rice, I carried my things and walked back to Ma Alley.
However, on the way, they met a group of casual cultivators covered in blood, some of whom were injured. Listening to their discussion, they found out that they had just returned from hunting monsters in Shouyun Mountain.
Zhao Qing murmured in his heart and followed him from a distance for a while before he understood what was going on.
According to those casual cultivators, the appearance of the Golden Core Demon King caused the demon beasts in the depths of Shouyun Mountain to escape in all directions. Many small beasts with low strength fled to the periphery. It is best to go up the mountain to hunt at this time, and most of them can return home with a full load. .
After watching a group of people chatting and laughing and carrying the body of a black panther towards Fangshi, Zhao Qing turned around and went home.
The unusual movements in Shouyun Mountain were difficult for him to avoid, but for those casual cultivators who did not have the resources to practice, it was just like the Chinese New Year, with groups of monsters leaving the mountains, just hunting for fun.
Even the weakest little monster's fur, muscles, bones and even blood are valuable.
