Yundan Pavilion is close to the main street and is a shop that sells elixirs. Passing through the shop is a large garden. The garden is complete with green bamboos, ponds, and pavilions, and has a unique scenery. There is a larger hexagonal attic in the garden, which is divided into upper and lower floors.
On the first floor of the attic, a male practitioner who looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a white robe was staring at the alchemy furnace attentively. This male cultivator has an ordinary face, but he has a gentle temperament that makes people feel good about him.
Next to the alchemy furnace, a spirit crow was spitting out spiritual fire. This spirit crow had a dark golden body, a golden beak and claws, and four golden tail feathers behind it. It looked quite extraordinary.
The monk made a secret with his hands and opened the closed alchemy furnace. Seeing this, the spiritual crow stopped spitting spiritual fire and became very quiet.
The monk stretched out his right hand, with the palm facing upward, and five green pills flew to the palm of the monk's hand, and finally floated above the palm.
"The quality of the five Biyun Pills is a little better than a month ago. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Jin." The man carefully observed the pills and then said with satisfaction.
The spiritual crow next to him called "yeah" and "yeah" twice.
Then he put the elixir into a jade bottle, put it into a storage bag and walked to the second floor.
This person is naturally Jiang Yun, who has hidden his identity.
Before leaving the sect, Jiang Yun specially used his contribution points to exchange for a secret method of disguise, which could change his face and some bones and body shape. Jiang Yun also changed his attire. Now he is dressed like a Taoist priest from head to toe.
Unfortunately, none of the Qi Condensing Techniques that can be redeemed in the sect can reduce the cultivation level from the initial stage of foundation building to the Qi training stage. Therefore, Jiang Yun was very sorry that he could not pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
After Jiang Yun left the sect, he came all the way to Yanjiabao.
According to the information from the fourth brother, one of the two Yanjiabao monks who needed to be killed had successfully built the foundation, while the other had failed to build the foundation.
The task that they thought could be completed in a month or two turned out to be very troublesome, because their great-grandfather successfully formed the elixir more than ten years ago, so these two people successfully became the core clan members of Yanjiabao.
Their great-grandfather also arranged a good job for them, responsible for teaching young people to practice cultivation in the clan area. It was not only safe, leisurely and well-paid, so the two of them had not left Yanjiapu in the past ten years.
If these two people don't leave Yanjiabao, it is impossible for Jiang Yun to sneak into the assassination. He is looking for death. Therefore, if you want to kill him, you must find a way to get him to leave Yanjiapu.
Jiang Yun used many methods, including posing as a casual cultivator and injuring their relatives, fabricating rumors, and other means.
He even once hid his identity and pretended to be an evil cultivator to sneak attack on a miniature spiritual stone mine in Yanjiabao. After killing the stationed Foundation Establishment monks, he looted them and then left.
But these two people still stood still, and the ones dispatched were other ordinary tribesmen. It was not the turn of core tribesmen like them to do these dirty and tiring jobs.
Jiang Yun was troubled by this for a whole year and was really helpless. Helpless, Jiang Yun could only open a shop in Fangshi, Yanjiabao, refining elixirs and selling elixirs to earn spiritual stones, while collecting information and waiting for the opportunity.
Because the elixirs were of high quality, Jiang Yun's business was very good, and he gradually became familiar with many Yanjiabao monks, and even met one of them once.
Jiang Yun once told the other party in a subtle way that he knew that there was a top-quality spiritual grass somewhere but it was protected by a guardian monster and could not pick it. He invited him to go there, but the other party directly refused, saying that he had no intention of leaving the family for the time being.
Jiang Yun was also very helpless.
Later, when Jiang Yun chatted with other Yanjiabao monks, he learned that the few senior alchemists in the Yan family were all very old, but their alchemy skills were average, and the fourth-level elixirs often failed to be refined. So I thought of a way, which was a little underhanded.
"I originally wanted to kill two people and then return to the sect. Since you Yanjiabao are so uncooperative, you can't blame me!"
If you want to catch big fish, you must use scented bait.
The jade slips obtained from the Blue Sky Orb that year contained many prescriptions for refining elixirs using demon pills, including the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In addition, there are many alchemy techniques in the jade slips, such as elixir collection techniques, fire control techniques, etc., but there are also some disadvantages in them. One of them is to fine-tune the elixir recipe to reduce the elixir yield rate.
Moreover, this method is very hidden, unless you are an alchemy master who can refine level five or higher elixirs, you will never be able to see through it.
So Jiang Yun used ecstasy to control a local ruffian and sold a deceptive version of the foundation-building pill formula to a shop in Yanjiabao. He also lied that it was passed down by his ancestors and only sold five spiritual stones. .
This person was eliminated by Jiang Yun afterwards, ensuring that no ashes would be left.
Jiang Yun believed that Yanjiabao was reluctant to give up this elixir, but after they refined it, they would find that this elixir was a huge pit.
If you follow this modified elixir recipe, the elixir yield will be very low. Even with Jiang Yun's current elixir refining level, five furnaces of elixirs can only yield one or two elixirs.
Based on the calculation of one five-furnace elixir, one furnace of demon elixir plus auxiliary materials costs about 300 spirit stones, and the price of one foundation-building elixir is 1,500 spirit stones. Who can afford this?
This is far beyond the price of buying from the seven major factions. If the person making the alchemy is worse than Jiang Yun, the cost will be even higher.
Even with the financial resources of Yanjiabao, we have to weigh the situation carefully. Clan cultivation requires resources. If the family cannot refine many coins, it will go bankrupt.
There is only one way to save the cost of elixir refining, and that is to send a large number of monks out to hunt monsters and obtain elixirs.
But hunting monsters is not a safe thing, and it is easy to cause death or injury.
If you want to hunt a large amount of inner elixir, you will inevitably sacrifice a lot of people.
If these two targets are arranged to hunt monsters, Jiang Yun will follow them secretly. With the help of Qing Huo's wind concealment technique and wind transformation talent, Jiang Yun promises to let them die peacefully.
It depends on Yanjiabao’s choice later.
After Jiang Yun gave away the prescription, he waited patiently, waiting for the Yan family to send those two people out to hunt the monsters. Even if he waited five years, ten years, twenty... Jiang Yun admitted that if these two people were still alive in twenty years, If Jiang Yun doesn't come out, he will admit defeat and decisively return to the sect. At worst, he will be blamed by his master after returning.
As a result, there was still no movement at all in Yanjiabao.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but become suspicious: "Don't the seven major sects limit the number of foundation-building pills sold to Yanjiabao? Or they didn't notice this pill recipe at all!"
Jiang Yun was worried about gains and losses for a while.
No matter what, life must go on. It has been three years since he left the sect, and Jiang Yun has also adapted to life in Yanjiabaofang City.
Jiang Yun cleaned up the alchemy furnace, then went to the meditation room on the second floor and opened a newly purchased small defensive array, and then entered the green garden with a flash of white light.
It's time to take care of the spiritual field again, and the spiritual power of the Heavenly Mother Insect has fluctuated greatly these days, so it should be almost completed.
What Jiang Yun didn't know was that the foundation-building elixir had attracted the attention of Yanjiabao's senior officials.
