Chapter 24: The Path of Alchemy

Ye Ling expressed satisfaction with everything Li Bao had done, nodded and said: "Very good, just do it like this! Is the old thief Zhou Chong's suspicion of me still increasing recently?"

Speaking of this, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with cold light, making Li Bao shiver involuntarily.

Li Bao sighed with a bitter face: "Reporting to the master, this damn old guy Zhou Chong is as suspicious of the master as ever! It's all because he is too suspicious. He always suspects that the master has obtained a set of heaven-defying skills, and he says that with his With the master’s ordinary qualifications, his cultivation speed should not be so fast!”

Ye Ling sneered in his heart and saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he allowed him to continue.

Li Bao hesitated and said: "The most important thing is that this old guy Zhou Chong is suspicious, but he is worried. Fortunately, the master is the direct disciple of the sect master. If it were an ordinary inner disciple, he would have killed the master long ago. The thought of it makes me extremely scared. If the master dies, my soul blood will also dissipate, and I won’t be able to survive either!”

Ye Ling had already anticipated this when he showed his strength in the outer disciple competition.

Seeing Li Bao's sad face, Ye Ling encouraged: "Go! If you continue to deal with the old thief Zhou Chong, it's best for you to stay by his side. If he presses too hard, you can say that the technique I practice is in Feng." I bought it from a street stall on Xuanwu Avenue in Qiao Town! It’s an ancient technique, Haotian Jue! It’s okay to give it to the old thief, hahaha!”

Ye Ling laughed loudly. Faced with the pressure from Zhou Chong, the old thief, not only did Ye Ling not feel scared, but it actually inspired the unyielding rebellion in his bones! It inspired his bloodiness and fighting spirit even more!

Li Bao seemed to be deeply influenced by his master. Seeing his master's magnanimity and wildness, his confidence doubled for a moment! The eyes looking at the master are full of fanatical reverence!

After sending Li Bao away, Ye Ling calmed down and fell into deep thought:

"It will take more than a month to resume use of the star crystals in Xian Mansion's Star Picking Cliff. At that time, we will practice Haotian Jue and strive to advance from the fourth level of Qi training to the fifth level of Qi training in one breath! In this one It’s been many months, and I can’t be idle. I must at least cultivate to the level of a strong person at the same level! In addition, in addition to daily cultivation such as strengthening the essence, cultivating the body, and tempering the body with elixirs, I also need to study the herbal illustrations more and strive for them. He is no weaker than other inner disciples in collecting herbs and refining elixirs."

At this moment, Ye Ling is not only limited to improving his cultivation, but also relying on the convenient conditions brought by the Immortal Mansion Lingtian to achieve results that he can be proud of in his alchemy journey!

The Yaogu Sect is a sect that mainly collects medicine and makes alchemy. The status of its disciples is not only related to their cultivation, but also has a great relationship with the achievements of alchemy.

In the same minor Qi training, the disciples of alchemy are definitely much more important than the disciples of medicinal herbs!

If there is an alchemy master in the sect, it will be more valuable than a strong man in the late stage of foundation building! Because the alchemy master can use limited spiritual herbs to refine more elixirs for the sect, he will naturally be protected by the sect, and even attract the attention of the Tiandan Immortal Sect!

Ye Ling thought that in terms of cultivation, he still couldn't catch up with the old thief Zhou Chong for a while. The only way he could hope to achieve results in a short period of time was to collect herbs and refine alchemy!

In the journey of collecting herbs and refining elixirs, one starts as a disciple of herb collectors. When the knowledge and experience of collecting herbs reaches a certain level, one can advance to become an apothecary master, and then learn to refine alchemy and become an alchemy disciple.

Ye Ling was a herb-gathering disciple when he was in the outer sect. He often took on the sect's herb-gathering tasks to earn spiritual stones and maintain his practice. Since then, Ye Ling has laid a solid foundation, which will benefit his future development in collecting herbs and refining elixirs.

Now that Ye Ling has the Immortal Mansion Spiritual Field, he can grow unlimited amounts of top-quality spiritual grass! Therefore, as long as Ye Ling is promoted to an alchemist and learns how to make alchemy, he can become an alchemist or even a master of alchemy in the future, which is just around the corner!

Ye Ling is looking forward to such a future! Once he is promoted to an alchemy master, not only the sect master will look upon him with admiration, but also the entire Medicine Valley and even the Heavenly Alchemy Immortal Sect will also pay enough attention to him! At that time, even if the old thief Zhou Chong wants to harm himself, he will be helpless.

So while Ye Ling was practicing in the Nangu Bamboo House, he did not forget to study the medicinal herb illustrations and become familiar with the medicinal properties and effects of various spiritual herbs.

When sunset came, Sun Erhu rushed back to Nangu Medicine Garden and reported to Ye Ling.

After receiving Ye Ling's nod in agreement, Sun Erhu walked to the bamboo house, his face glowing with excitement and excitement, and he said nonstop: "Senior Brother Ye! Something big happened! Did you know? Just yesterday, Nan Sheng Sect, The young sect master Tang Rui died unexpectedly while he was out practicing! Now the whole city is in turmoil, and everyone in the streets of Fengqiao Town is talking about this matter."

Ye Ling was not surprised at all, but he still showed the appropriate surprise and said curiously: "Oh? Such a thing actually happened! Tell me in detail! Tang Rui died, what was his father Tang Xiong's reaction? According to As far as I know, Tang Xiong is the strongest among the five major sects around Fengqiao Town, and he has the cultivation level of the ninth level. If Tang Xiong is angry, no one in Fengqiao Town can stop him!"

Sun Erhu was full of energy, as if he was born to inquire about gossip, especially because his mouth seemed like a flood, and he spoke with great joy and joy:

"It is said that Tang Xiong, the leader of the Southern Saint Sect, went crazy, and almost the entire Southern Saint Sect was mobilized! He ordered people to search for the bones of the young sect leader everywhere in the Changxi wilderness, and finally found Tang Xiong in the Demon Crocodile Cave by the Changxi River. The relics of Master Rui were determined to be eaten by the third-level demon crocodile king. This is called self-inflicted evil. The sky is so vast that no one can miss it! My son has become the prey of the evil crocodile."

Ye Ling was secretly happy. He didn't expect that the storm would pass so quickly and he could go out to collect herbs again to practice. At the same time, Ye Ling was also secretly wondering, did the top-quality toothed leaf vines he left in the Demon Crocodile Cave not attract the attention of the Southern Saint Sect? Of course, there is also a possibility that it is considered to be arranged by the Young Sect Master of the Southern Saint Sect when they were hunting the demon crocodile.

As for the toothed leaf vine that was entangled around Tang Rui and others, it was estimated that both the human and the vine were swallowed up by the third-order demon crocodile king. Tang Xiong, the leader of the Southern Saint Sect, did not notice it, which was beyond Ye Ling's expectation.

However, for the sake of caution, Ye Ling made up his mind to use the Teeth Leaf Vine Winding Technique as little as possible in the future, only as a trump card in times of crisis.

At this moment, Ye Ling looked at Sun Erhu with a strange look on his face and asked: "What did you have with the young master of Nansheng Sect in the past? Why are you happy that he is dead?"

"Hey, Nan Sheng Sect has always been the most powerful sect around Maple Bridge Town, and it has been domineering for a long time. When such a big thing happened, I am really happy from the bottom of my heart! Hahaha, and more importantly, I can't stand those toes the most. How come they are born with the high-spirited heir apparent of a great cultivator family, and with the help of his father’s power, they have resources for cultivating immortals that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they use the best elixirs and spend a lot of spiritual stones. , pursuing the most beautiful female cultivator! I get angry just thinking about it!”

Sun Erhu's face showed a look of righteousness and indignation, as if he hated the injustice in the world of immortality.

Ye Ling nodded and said calmly: "Yes! You are right. People like the young master of Nansheng Sect will die as soon as they die and do not deserve mercy."

Sun Erhu stroked his palm and said with a smile: "Isn't it right? In addition, my subordinates also got some good news!"

Speaking of this, Sun Erhu had a mysterious look on his face and said proudly: "This is what I learned from a fellow Taoist from the Yun Cang Sect. I want to recruit Qi Practitioners with low level of cultivation to practice! Someone in Changxi In the Songyang dense forest in the north of the wilderness, a natural cave was recently discovered. It is said that there are countless exotic flowers and plants in it. "

Ye Ling suddenly became interested, his eyes glowed, and he listened attentively.

Then Sun Erhu changed the subject and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that my subordinate's cultivation level is too low. He can't even get close to the Songyang dense forest where the second-level monsters are infested, let alone go in to hunt for treasure! Brother Ye, can you tell your fellow disciples this news?" Brother Zhuang Liang Shouzhuang, he is at the fifth level of qi training, so he can go there! But according to the Yun Cang Sect fellow Taoist, anyone who goes into the cave to hunt for treasures must pay one hundred yuan to the Yun Cang Sect disciples guarding the entrance. Lingshi, not everyone can afford it.”

Ye Ling's heart moved, he nodded, asked no more questions, and waved Sun Erhu to retreat.

At night, after everyone dispersed, Ye Ling took the time to cut the magical herbs in the Nangu Medicine Garden.

With the experience of the previous night, Ye Ling was even more unscrupulous this time and did not have to be as cautious as before.

Later, Ye Ling simply used the wind control technique, picking branches and leaves of spiritual grass wherever he passed! In less than an hour, all kinds of spiritual grass branches and leaves in the entire Nangu Medicine Garden were collected into Ye Ling's Immortal Mansion Jade Pendant.

Early the next morning, Ye Ling temporarily handed over the Nangu Medicine Garden to Sun Erhu, but he drifted away and teleported directly to Dongchengfang City in Fengqiao Town through the sect's teleportation array.

"I have heard a long time ago that outside Dongguan in Fengqiao Town is the gathering place of Lingyi, but I have never had the opportunity to come here to see what's going on. Today I am going to the Songyang dense forest for training, so I might as well buy a mount bird, even if I go out to collect herbs in the future. It’s essential to use it.”

Ye Ling went straight to the open area outside Dongguan and saw many monks carrying spirit beast bags to sell goods. Some monks even released all the low-level spirit beasts in the spirit beast bags to attract customers. Pedestrians should take a good look.

"The second-level earth demon pig knows earth archery and only sells it for five hundred spirit stones!"

A beautifully dressed woman in green clothes led a brown demon pig and greeted Ye Ling warmly.

Ye Ling looked at the demon pig behind her. It was similar to the first-level demon pig in the Changxi Wilderness, but the coat color was different. It was obvious that the demon pig cubs were hunted in the Changxi Wilderness and raised to the second level.

"Don't buy it!" Ye Ling shook his head and walked away.

"Hmph! He looks like a poor man at first glance, and I know you can't afford it. Look at the clothes he's wearing, he doesn't even have a medium-grade cassock. The moon-white satin gown he's wearing is worth at most three spiritual stones!"

The warm smile of the woman in green clothes disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of disdain on her face, and she muttered in a harsh voice.
