Koizumi Mountain.
Zhou Yi took out a bottle of Qingyang Pill and poured it all into his mouth.
The elixir turned into surging spiritual energy, and under the refining of the Five Spirits Manual, it turned into wisps of mana.
Qingyang Pill is a middle-grade elixir, and its quality is slightly lower for Master Zhuji. However, swallowing the whole bottle makes Zhou Yi's mana steadily increase every day.
"Cultivation is the foundation of everything. As long as you have enough elixirs, you can advance to the middle stage of foundation building in thirty to fifty years."
Zhou Yi slowly stopped his power, and his body instantly sank more than twenty feet into the ground. He practiced the Five Elements Escape Technique diligently, and was able to send and receive from the heart, but there were some obstacles in the rotation of the Five Elements.
Xiaoquan Mountain is more than forty feet high, and the location of Zhouyi is approximately in the middle of the mountain.
Several small five-element formations are overlapping and covering up. Unless a top formation master can break through the restriction in a short time.
In the formation is a medicinal field more than two feet high and four to five feet in diameter, where various wood-based elixirs are planted.
Zhou Yi used the Jade Dew Technique as usual to condense the jade dew of good fortune and ripen it. There are already many medicines in the medicine field that are over two hundred years old. Whether they are eaten raw or made into elixirs, they can increase their magic power.
"There is a recipe for True Yuan Pills in the jade slips, which is suitable for consumption during the Foundation Establishment period. However, the Four Arts of Immortal Cultivation are more precious than the Kung Fu. If you don't hand in the Foundation Establishment Pills, you don't have to think about it in the short term. You can directly exchange them for True Yuan Pills."
The Alchemy Sect calculates the values of meritorious deeds very carefully. It is difficult for a sect like Zhou Yi to get any precious inheritance.
Return to the ground.
Zhou Yi opened his mouth and spit out the Mountain and River Cauldron, and took out the Soul-fixing Mirror from it.
The originally dull bronze mirror had accumulated magical power for more than a hundred years, and became mottled with silvery white, and its power reached the level of a mid-grade magical weapon.
"When it is completely transformed into a silver mirror, its power will be at least top grade, and it will be a special magic weapon for the soul. It must not be used in the future!"
Zhouyi sacrificed and refined the Mountain and River Cauldron for more than 30 years. I don't know how much metal essence has been incorporated into it, but the promotion speed is not as fast as the treasure mirror. Sure enough, as Lingbao Jue said, Lingbao's growth takes a long time and cannot be accomplished in a day.
True Lord Jindan chose to refine magic weapons instead of sacrificing spiritual treasures, and the difficulty was evident.
After refining two magical artifacts, Zhou Yi meditated on the Alchemy Sutra for another two hours, and the sky was already dark outside.
Cultivation, planting medicine, refining treasures, chanting sutras, this cycle every day, the immortal path is boring and lonely, nothing more than this!
…
Thinking over the cliff.
Zhou Yi entered Batu Caves on duty, thinking it would be another boring day.
As a result, in the evening, when the Law Enforcement Hall sent someone over, they couldn't be said to be prisoners. After all, they were still fellow disciples after some time.
The person who was punished was Zhuji Zhenren, whose surname was Jiang and Kang. He had an old face and gray hair.
When a monk breaks through the foundation building stage, his appearance is basically fixed, and he will only age rapidly when he is about to die, as is the case with Jiang Kang.
The aura was gray, the air of death was lingering, and he looked like he was about to live for a long time.
Zhou Yi always stayed away from such monks. People who lived longer acted crazier when they were about to die, not to mention that Jiang Kang's cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.
"Junior brother, do you have any spiritual wine? The fire has made the old Taoist's mouth dry."
When Jiang Kang was punished, the formation restrictions were weakened to the limit, and fierce black wind and raging poisonous fire filled the cave, continuously eroding and burning.
Zhou Yi could feel the power of wind and fire through a layer of formation restrictions. The monks in the early stage of foundation building would probably be injured if they touched it. He quickly took out the red rainbow wine when he heard the words.
"Senior brother, please taste the spirit wine brewed by yourself."
The raw materials used in Chihong were ordinary, Chiyan was mixed with century-old ginseng, and Anhunzui could nourish the soul, but Zhou Yi did not dare to take out the latter two.
It’s hard to say how much restrictions the Danding Sect’s sect rules have on Jiang Kang!
Jiang Kang drank a bottle of it, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. The quality of this wine is average, but the age is more than a hundred years old. If I can drink it before I die, I am considered lucky."
"If you like it, senior brother, there are a few more altars here."
Zhou Yi took out a few more jars and put them into the formation restrictions.
The Chihong recipe was first obtained, and it has been a hundred and thirty years. Every time it is brewed, several jars are reserved for storage. There are many century-old wines.
"Junior brother, you don't need to be like this. If you can get a lot of benefits, you are already a seasoned man without shame." Jiang Kang said this, but his Adam's apple slid, obviously he didn't mean what he said.
"It's just spiritual wine, senior brother, just drink it. When you go out, give junior brother some spiritual stones."
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "The price of a jar of three hundred spirit stones has increased tenfold. Senior brother, don't blame me for taking advantage."
After thinking about crossing the cliff and being punished, the disciples were not allowed to bring storage bags, and other than their natal magical weapons, they were not allowed to bring in anything else to prevent anyone from relying on the magical weapons to resist the black wind and poisonous fire.
"Junior brother is a wonderful person. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely be your good friend."
Jiang Kang was not one to be coy, so he drank from a jar of wine again, but this time he took small sips.
Zhou Yi saw that Jiang Kang was stable and not violent, so he checked the jade slips left in the Law Enforcement Hall.
Jiang Kang had a private fight with Zhenren Yang Hua. He killed his fellow disciple regardless of his friendship, which caused the death of his fellow disciple. The impact was extremely bad and he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in Siguoya.
"ten years!"
Zhou Yi was surprised by Jiang Kang's foul and the severity of the penalty.
The private fights mentioned in the jade slips were nothing more than two people having a big feud. The sect's fighting platform could not determine life and death, so they fought in private. The two sides must have been cruel to each other, but Yang Hua lost his skills and lost his life.
This kind of thing is not common in Danding Sect, but it is not unheard of. According to the usual practice, they will only be detained for two or three years.
For ten years, I endured the black wind and poisonous fire day and night. Even if I cast spells to resist it, it would inevitably be eroded. Over time, the foundation would be damaged.
"The Law Enforcement Hall is personally controlled by Ancestor Fuyao, and even the True Lord cannot interfere. The punishment is the most just."
Jiang Kang seemed to have guessed what Zhou Yi was thinking, and explained: "The old Taoist received such a heavy punishment for two reasons. The first is that his life span is about to end. There is no difference between three and ten years, so he simply imposed a heavy punishment to warn other disciples."
Zhou Yi suddenly said: "That's it."
"Secondly, the old Taoist's fight with others is not due to any deep hatred."
Jiang Kang said quietly: "That guy Yang Hua is a direct descendant of the sect. He has a surly character and looks down on fellow casual cultivators. Relying on his power, he deliberately assigned hard labor to the casual cultivators to delay their cultivation."
Zhou Yi is silent, and it is hard to comment on what is right or wrong.
The Law Enforcement Palace manages the sect's laws. Since Yang Hua was not punished, it means that what he did was disgusting, but it did not violate the sect's rules.
Just like the casual cultivator surnamed Zhang who bullied Lin Yushu, the Law Enforcement Hall conducted several investigations and found no fault.
"The old Taoist was born as a casual cultivator. After struggling for decades in the city, he was lucky enough to join the Alchemy Sect. After a hundred years of foundation building, he worked diligently for the sect and killed twenty demons during the foundation building period. He feels that he has a clear conscience!"
Jiang Kang either felt resentful or wanted to speak before he died.
"That guy Yang Hua is as timid as a mouse. He doesn't dare to leave Yunzhou when it comes to exterminating demons. He even spends spiritual stones to hire help. He actually has the nerve to spread the word that casual cultivators are inferior to direct descendants!"
"The old Taoist has long disliked him. He simply has a short lifespan, and there is no hope of condensing the elixir. I will look for an opportunity to have sex with him."
"If Yang Hua really has 50% of the strength of the old Taoist, for the sake of the sect, he will be spared his life. Who would have thought that it was just an embroidered pillow, and it was destroyed without even being able to withstand the three rounds of the old Taoist's thunder technique!"
The corner of Zhou Yiting's mouth twitched. The old man in front of him was really a murderer, but some of Jiang Kang's words aroused some interest.
Can you hire fellow demon slayers?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Thanks to the readers for their criticism, there is indeed something wrong with the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill. The careful readers calculated the ratio of the spirit stones.
Gang Jing accepted it humbly and changed it to handing over 1,000 merits and exchanging 5,000 merits, which actually had no impact on the subsequent plot.
This is my first time writing a book, so there will inevitably be some numerical problems. Readers are welcome to give their opinions.
