Chapter 15 Qingyuan Danfang

After Zhou Yiqiao revealed his identity as an alchemist, several friendly eyes met him.

Although he didn't like the feeling of being noticed, he still nodded in response with a smile.

This is part of his future plans.

Now as his cultivation and alchemy skills become higher and higher, he will inevitably become more and more eye-catching in the future.

Instead of being on guard at all times, it is better to take the initiative to reveal that you are quite talented in alchemy.

Moreover, Qiu Yuankai took the lead in organizing this trade fair, and there were not many people participating.

Zhou Yiqiao hoped to spread the word through the mouths of a small number of monks.

If there is anything wrong in the future, I can deny it and blame it all on the excuse that the information was distorted when it was disseminated to everyone.

……

One monk after another came to the stage to exchange, and soon, only the host Qiu Yuankai was left.

This person is indeed famous for his boldness and does not delay in jumping up to the high platform.

There was a "bang" sound, a burst of dust flew up, and cracks appeared on the high platform.

Zhou Yiqiao secretly thought that this person's strength was terrifying, and he was afraid that he would be invincible under the foundation of Liang Kingdom.

"I've wasted everyone's time this time, so I'm going to give you a few treasures to apologize to everyone."

He took out several treasures in succession and introduced them one by one.

"This object is called the Awakening Jade. It has the effect of breaking through obstacles and protecting the mind."

"This shield is called the Black Cloud Shield. It is a top-grade defensive weapon. This weapon is complete and flawless. When activated with full force, it can easily block the attack of the Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivator."

"This volume is called "Smoke Ghost Escape", and the grade is the first-level top grade. The escape method is divided into three levels. When you practice it to perfection, you can travel thousands of miles a day, walking like a ghost, and chase the enemy under the foundation to escape. , few can match it.”

"Qiu has nothing to ask for. Spiritual stones, precious materials, spiritual plants, and magic weapons are all acceptable."

With a smile on his face, Qiu Yuankai glanced at Zhou Yiqiao through the crowd, and changed the subject as if he meant something.

"Of course, as long as you show that you have the ability to pay on credit, Qiu will also allow you to temporarily pay part of the spiritual stones."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned secretly. Qiu Yuankai's actions put him under the public eye again.

Unlike before when he deliberately stepped onto the stage, this passive feeling made him unbearable.

But Zhou Yiqiao was not an inflexible person. He nodded and smiled at everyone who looked over, once again confirming his identity as an alchemist.

The treasures provided by Qiu Yuankai are indeed of the highest quality, and each one of them has greatly improved Zhou Yiqiao.

However, he understood that these three treasures were too luxurious for monks in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Today, he has been in the public eye too much, and he has stopped coveting.

Moreover, for myself, as long as I am fully prepared and spend more time, I can get it.

Zhou Yiqiao simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, no longer paying attention.

In just one stick of incense, the three treasures were exchanged by three late-stage Qi Refining monks at a huge cost.

After Qiu Yuankai finished the exchange and no one came on stage anymore, he said loudly.

"Since no fellow Taoist has any need for exchange, this trading conference has been successfully completed."

"If there is a next time, Qiu will inform everyone and say goodbye!"

He bowed his hands, jumped on the Ghost Tiger Xunsha Sword, and flew away just like when he came.

After the host and guest had a good time, everyone said goodbye to each other and left one by one.

The old man saw that the people were almost gone, so he stepped forward.

"My little friend, Lao Xuan's cave is in Shanxue Hall. I hope I can go with Lao Xuan."

Zhou Yiqiao was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked defensively.

"Are you not a disciple of our Yaori Sect? How come you live in the Shanxue Hall where a registered disciple of my sect practices?"

The old man laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Little friend, you don't know that if an outer disciple of our sect reaches the age of sixty and fails to successfully build a foundation, he or she will be removed from the disciple quota just like a registered disciple."

After hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly realized, smiled bitterly, and said half truthfully.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, that I am so obsessed with refining elixirs that I have even forgotten the sect's rules."

For those who are cultivating immortals, if they are over the age of sixty, their body functions will continue to decline, and the obstacles they will face when building the foundation will become greater and greater.

Therefore, within the Yaori Sect, outer disciples who are over sixty and have not yet successfully established their foundation will generally become sect deacons.

Either managing secular affairs, or educating registered disciples in the good school.

The old man didn't care and still smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"It's okay, without further ado, little friend, let's go with the old man."

The two of them hurried on their way and soon arrived at Shanxue Hall.

Arriving in front of a small farmyard, the old man led Zhou Yiqiao into the house and got him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Little friend, wait a moment, I will get the medicinal materials for you right now."

Zhou Yiqiao didn't touch the tea and nodded noncommittally.

The old man entered the back room, quickly took out a slightly old storage bag, took out many brocade boxes, and handed them to Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao opened the brocade box to check that it was correct, put the spiritual plants into the storage bag one by one, and stood up to leave.

"My name is Zhou Yiqiao, and the cave is located in Ruijin Mountain. The elixir I owe you will be delivered to you as soon as possible within one month."

The old man quickly returned the gift.

"I'm Zhao Zhen, little friend Zhou, don't worry."

"My great-nephew has just entered Qi refining and still needs to stabilize his realm. He is not in a hurry to use pills."

Zhou Yiqiao only half-listened to what he said, and after promising to deliver the overdue pills to Zhao Zhen as soon as possible, he turned and left.

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at the high-spirited Zhou Yiqiao, not knowing what he thought of.

It wasn't until Zhou Yiqiao couldn't be seen that he sighed and turned back to the house.

……

Zhou Yiqiao returned to the cave, activated the ban, and read this ancient elixir carefully.

This elixir is called Qingyuan Dan. According to the annotation of Yaoyang Zhenren who collected this elixir, the Shengyuan Dan taken by monks in Liang Kingdom today are all simplified versions of this elixir.

Therefore, the efficacy of Qing Yuan Dan is three-thirds greater than that of its successors.

Zhou Yiqiao compared the two elixir recipes and found that not only the steps of Qingyuan Dan were more complicated, but also the requirements for the techniques were more stringent.

He now planted the elixirs needed for the Qingyuan Pill in the moon stone space until the elixirs in the storage bag were exhausted, and a total of thirty medicinal materials were obtained.

His consciousness returned to his physical body from the moon stone space. He was exhausted and fell asleep on the stone bed.

After sleeping for a full six hours, Zhou Yiqiao regained enough energy and officially started refining the Qingyuan Pill.

In the following days, apart from spending a day traveling to Yaoyang City in exchange for some spirit stones and pills needed for the initial stage of Qi refining, he returned to the step-by-step practice.

Time goes by and another month passes.

In the cave near Yiqiao in Ruijin Mountain, a gray-faced young man exclaimed from behind a pure white medicine cauldron.

"I finally successfully refined the Qing Yuan Dan!"
