longevity road trip

He continued to refine two furnaces of first-grade jade tea pills, grasping his feeling about alchemy, and after a few hours of breathing adjustment, Zhang Shiping put away all the empty bottles on the black brown stone floor, and stored them again. With a slap on the bag, a dozen or so bottles were taken out.

The second-order jade tea pill is the result of more than ten years of groping by the yellow-faced old man. He failed countless times before improving on the basis of the first-order jade tea pill formula.

Zhang Shiping skillfully added the first three ingredients to the first-order and second-order jade tea pills, with the same steps and the same amount, and the fourth ingredient changed slightly, adding five or six more auxiliary drugs and Dan decided.

Afterwards, Zhang Shiping poured bottle after bottle of treated elixir into the alchemy furnace, the steps were not wrong at all, and the timing was just right, Zhang Shiping first shot the seven formulas, red light into the three-legged copper alchemy furnace.

The fire in the round pier surged up, and under his fire control technique, it turned into a fire snake and walked in the pill furnace. After Zhang Shiping finished the first seven formulas, he stretched out his hand and waved aura towards the animal head. There are three beast heads with ferocious shapes, and dark blue flames spew out from their mouths, covering the entire pill furnace. After about an hour, a faint fragrance of pills comes out.

The alchemy furnace on the round pier is like a red and blue light ball. After half an hour of controlling the fire, Zhang Shiping removed the dark blue flame from the beast's mouth, changed his ten fingers, and pinched various formulas, which contained spiritual energy and mana. The red light of the Fa Jue continuously penetrated into the alchemy furnace, regulating the medicinal properties of the elixir liquid.

Afterwards, Zhang Shiping put five fingers together, and hotter ground fire spewed out from the mouths of the five beasts, intertwined with the ground fire in the round pier, the flames were raging, completely enveloping the furnace, and Zhang Shiping could not see the pill furnace with naked eyes .

The medicinal fragrance inside the pill furnace became more and more intense, filling the whole stone room, Zhang Shiping was excited, it seemed that the second-order jade tea pill was about to become a pill, and after a year of constant speculation, it was finally in sight.

Zhang Shiping knew from the bottom of his heart that this was mostly because the first-order and second-order jade tea pills had the same root and origin, and he had been refining the first-order jade tea pills since he was in charge of Biyuan Mountain, and it has been three to five years now Time, I don't know how many times the first-order jade tea pill has been refined.

If it was changed to another second-order panacea, then I would have to try it for a long time before I could refine it with confidence.

When inside the pill furnace, the fragrance of the medicine was no longer emitted, Zhang Shiping dispersed the fire from the ground, opened the lid of the pill furnace, performed the imperial object technique, and took out three pills, which were also blue-green pills.

This is the first time Zhang Shiping has seen a second-tier elixir. According to the instructions on the second-tier jade tea elixir recipe, and based on the color and smell of the elixir, he preliminarily judged that it was a second-tier low-grade elixir. He had nothing to be disappointed about. Cheng Dan medicine is already a surprise.

Two days later, Zhang Shiping opened the stone room, handed in the spirit stone to the disciple on duty, and went out.

He didn't see the old man guarding the mountain in the foundation building period at the bamboo building, so Zhang Shiping drove away from Chili Peak and flew towards Biyuan Mountain.

Flying in mid-air, he was thinking. In the stone room, he had only refined the first and third parts of the five second-level jade tea pills. Eight pills.

What worried Zhang Shiping the most was that when he was refining the fifth second-order jade tea pill, his three-legged red copper pill furnace wall cracked a small crack. Zhang Shiping was afraid that if he continued to forcibly refine the last elixir, the furnace might explode.

As he flew slowly, he thought that it might be that the temperature of the ground fire was too high when refining the second-order jade tea pill. High-grade pills, after all, can't hold back the ground fire.

But now that the ancient secret realm is approaching, buying a new alchemy furnace is better than buying some useful pill talismans, so Zhang Shiping can only put the replacement of the alchemy furnace on hold.

Just as he was thinking, there was a crisp voice from a distance, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing purple and white brocade clothes, riding a white crane, flying high in the sky, passing Zhang Shiping's head.There was a girl following behind, Zheng Qiji followed closely behind, "Xiaobai, slow down."

When the white crane heard the girl's voice, its speed really slowed down. The young man patted the white crane's back feathers, took out a brown pill from the storage bag, and put it to the white crane's mouth, "Little Bai, fly faster." Holding it in his mouth, he swallowed the elixir, let out a brisk cry, flapped his wings a few times, and distanced himself from the girl behind him.

The girl snorted softly, mobilized more mana, accelerated her flight, and followed.

The two quickly flew forward.Zhang Shiping looked at the young man in purple and white brocade, and wondered in his heart which senior's descendant or disciple this young man was, and he had a first-rank top-grade white crane mount at a young age.

Adult wild monsters and birds can rarely be directly trained. Usually, some young birds and young animals are caught and raised, and they are bred for several generations. After the wildness is eliminated, they can be used as current mounts.

There are also high-ranking monks who directly use secret techniques to place restrictions on the minds of monsters and birds, so that they will not dare to go west if they are told to go east, and they will not dare to fly down when they fly up.

After the two left, Zhang Shiping put his thoughts back into the elixir, and it took half as long as before to slowly fly back to the Herb Garden in Biyuan Mountain.

Half a month later, when Zhang Shiping was taking care of the spiritual tea in the second-order spiritual tea garden, a long bell rang in the distance, "Boom, boom, boom..." The bell rang three times in a row, and Zhang Shiping used his spiritual sense to check the meaning contained in the bell. information.

Zhang Shiping stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of Zhengyang Peak, the main peak. The emotions in his black and white eyes changed, from uneasiness, worry, and panic to calm down, and then his eyes showed firmness and ruthlessness. He was deeply washed He took a deep breath and let it out again.

This bell is a magic weapon of Zhengyang Sect. The main bell tower is on Zhengyang Peak, and eighteen sub-bell towers are evenly scattered in all directions of Zhengyang Sect. Yang Zong.

The message from the bell was that three days later, the disciples who participated in the ancient cultivation of the secret realm gathered at a stone platform called Xiaoguan Mountain outside Zhengyang Peak, and the message was passed on three times in succession.

Zhang Shiping hurriedly cut off some useless branches and leaves on the second-order spiritual tea tree, and loosened the soil to fertilize and water. There was only four quarters of the spiritual tea garden, and he finished all the work after a busy morning.

Putting away the agricultural tools used by Xianzhi, Zhang Shiping drove down the mountain, returned to the yard, went to the quiet room, sorted out all the things in the storage bag, and put them away.When he went to the market a few days ago, he bought wound medicines, detoxification pills, and barrier-breaking pills, which are commonly used in the world of cultivating immortals. He didn't buy the first-level talismans because he knew how to draw them, but he bought three second-level talismans.

Zhang Shiping used his power to preserve Luo Junjian and the Thick Earth Purple Gold Shield for a whole night.

The sky was gloomy, and before the birds in the mountains left their nests, Zhang Shiping was already flying in mid-air, with mountains, rivers, trees, and rivers all under his feet.

……

The entrance to the Guxiu Secret Realm is guarded by the Zhengyang Sect, Qiyun Sect, and Xuanhuo Sect. The Yuanying Patriarch of the three factions arranged the lower formations to restrain this medicine garden wandering in the void. There are three formations The array keys are kept in the hands of the Yuanying ancestors of the three factions, and there are three factions guarding the entrance.

By the time Zhang Shiping arrived, it was already the afternoon of the second day, when the sun was at its strongest, dozens of people were sitting cross-legged or standing under the big trees around the stone platform, and people were constantly flying over from all directions.

Zhang Shiping chose a place where no one was around, sat down, and waited quietly.After one night, when the sun was rising, hundreds of people had already come around the entire stone platform, there were acquaintances gathered together in twos and threes, and there were quite a few people like Zhang Shiping who were alone.

Chapter 32

In the main hall of Zhengyang Peak, a gray-haired old man with a hunchback held a bare wooden stick on the floor on the right hand side, slowly stood up from the futon, and said to Chang Younian, who was sitting quietly in the hall, "Hold your palm door, the old man will go first."

"Please trouble Senior Brother Yun." Chang Younian said to the hunchbacked old man.The name of this hunchbacked old man is Yun Qi. He is about [-] years old.

The deadline is getting closer and closer, and Yun Qi, who has no hope of breaking through, has stopped practicing in seclusion for decades. Instead, he helps Chang Younian with some trivial matters of the sect, and also teaches the younger generation of his clan by the way.How happy he was when he formed the alchemy in the past, how peaceful he is now, the ancient well reflects the blue sky without a trace, letting it turn into white clouds, it is helpless.

Yun Qi walked out of the hall slowly, and there were six foundation-builder monks in the left and right columns waiting at the steps of the main hall. The 12 people said in unison, "Greetings to Uncle Yun."

"Let's go." Yun Qi leaned on a bare wooden stick and walked down the steps. After passing by these twelve foundation-building juniors, he seemed to be stepping on a long ladder to the sky. Within a few steps, he was already in mid-air.

He reached out and wiped the storage bag, and a small black boat appeared in his hand. When he threw it forward, the black boat was known to grow against the wind, and turned into a huge boat with a length of 73 feet and a width of 28 feet.Yun Qi walked slowly, landed on the deck, stood at the bow of the ship, looking straight ahead.

The twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators who were flying with the imperial weapon at the back also landed on the deck one after another. When the black boat passed Xiaoguan Mountain, Zhang Shiping and 150 monks on the eighth and ninth levels of qi training were in the middle of the two building blocks. Under the leadership of Brother Ji, they also flew onto the black boat and landed on the deck.

Looking at the hunchbacked old man standing in front, everyone saluted one after another: "Greetings to Master Yun."

Zhang Shiping and the others knew that the hunchbacked old man on the black giant boat was the Golden Core cultivator of the Zongmen under the guidance of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yun Qi turned his head, and Gu Jing Wubo looked at these qi training disciples with his eyes, "There is no need to be too polite."

Like other qi cultivators, Zhang Shiping also chose a place to sit on the deck of the black boat, and looked at the crowd calmly. It was seen that most of the disciples were in their 50s and [-]s, and there were also a dozen or so with older faces. For the monks, I don't know if it is for themselves or for the younger generation. There are five or six people as young as Zhang Shiping.

Perhaps it was because there were monks at the Golden Core stage, the entire deck was silent.Zhang Shiping looked through the shield of the black boat, and as soon as he saw the distant mountain peak with his naked eyes, the black boat flew close and flew past the mountain peak in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Shiping felt indescribably horrified at seeing the light escape so fast.If he can become a Jindan cultivator, then he can also have such strength, drive a giant boat, drive more than 100 people, and turn into a flying rainbow, which is much faster than he is now flying alone. Zhang Shiping squinted his eyes, imagining with.

Zhang Shiping's impressions of Jindan cultivators are all from hearing others talk about it or recording it in books and jade slips, and now he has a real impression.

……

For this ancient secret realm of cultivation, in fact, the disciples of the three sects will not suffer much damage, with a casualty rate of one or two floors, death and injury are inevitable.

The real losers were some Jindan family monks who had not yet joined the sect. A Jindan family could send fifteen disciples into the secret realm, but usually only five or six disciples came out, and more than half of them were casualties.

They will not send out disciples with good qualifications in the family. Some of the disciples sent out are five or sixty-year-old family qi cultivators, and the rest are casual practitioners recruited by the family.

Some casual cultivators who are not qualified to participate in the ancient secret realm will flexibly join the Jindan family, become guest ministers, and work hard for them, in order to be able to participate in the ancient secret realm.

The huge black boat driven by the hunchbacked old man Yunqi was suspended on the top of a small mountain. 150 Qi training monks and [-] foundation building monks jumped off the huge boat together. Zhang Shiping, like the others, landed in the air, and then gently Lightly step on the treetops.

After the hunchbacked old man took away the huge boat, he took the crowd to the valley ahead, and stopped at a green brick square near two square stone pillars standing ten feet apart and more than ten feet high.

There are three sects of disciples guarding here for many years.

After Zhang Shiping went down the valley, he saw that the Xuanhuomen wearing the flame symbol had arrived first, and there were also 150 Qi training disciples, and the people from Qiyunzong had not yet arrived.

Next to him were monks wearing all kinds of clothes, Zhang Shiping looked at each other, those people's cultivation ranged from the sixth floor to the ninth floor, and they were also older.

……

At a high altitude above where the three factions were stationed together, where no one could see or feel them at all, there were three people standing in the strong wind. An old man in sackcloth took out a one-horned dragon with black scales from his storage bag. The curved nail gently cut a hole in the seven-inch white plastron of the one-horned dragon, and with five fingers forming claws, he took out a black inner alchemy still tinged with blood.

The old man in sackcloth pinched the black inner alchemy with his black nails, shook it in front of the other two, and then swallowed it with a grunt.

A middle-aged monk with red eyebrows snorted coldly, "It's really reckless."

Another short and fat man in a cross-collared dress didn't give the old man in sackcloth a good look. Instead, he took out a red polyprism and threw it at the middle-aged man with red eyebrows, and then threw the black scale in the old man's hand. The one-horned dragon put it in his storage bag.

The old man in sackcloth is a monk Yuanying from Qiyunzong, the middle-aged man with red eyebrows is a monk Yuanying from Xuanhuomen, and the last fat man in a Chinese dress with a collar is Wang Yuanying from Zhengyangzong.

The Guxiu Secret Realm occupies a vast area, with mountains and rivers in it. In addition to spiritual flowers and plants, there are also many monsters living there.Every time the three Nascent Soul cultivators open the formation, they will also enter the secret realm of ancient cultivation, and seal the monsters above the middle stage of foundation establishment with the formation for a month. Those who are subdued are subdued, and those who cannot be subdued are killed, and the three are divided.

This time the three of them were lucky. They met a one-horned dragon that had successfully formed a pill in recent years. It had a violent temperament. If it couldn't be subdued as a mount, it could only be killed.

The old man in sackcloth was superior in the end, and killed the one-horned jiao and captured the jiao's corpse.Of course, it can't all be the old man in sackcloth, he took the most valuable inner alchemy, and the middle-aged man with red eyebrows and the short fat man in the Chinese clothes also each got a share.

Zhengyangzong, the short and fat man who handed over the Chinese clothes, was trying to make a puppet, and this dragon corpse was suitable for use, so he exchanged the fire prism for the half dragon corpse that belonged to him from the red-browed middle-aged man.

Of course, the three Nascent Soul cultivators walked together, not because they were worried about the danger inside, but because no one was worried about the other.Although this ancient cultivator's secret realm is large, it can't withstand the wanton suppression of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

Everyone can understand the principle of not being able to exhaust the pond, but it is not so easy to do.

The three sects decided that only disciples in the Qi training period could enter, in order not to let the elixir of the ancient secret realm be consumed too quickly.Some elixirs use the flowers, fruits and leaves of the elixir, and they can be harvested again after a period of time, but Zhuji Dan is different from ordinary elixir, it needs to use more than 500 years of elixir, and it is the whole plant Used as medicine, leaving nothing behind.

The speed of cultivating elixir in the sect cannot keep up with the speed of consumption, so they can only rely on the supply of elixir in the ancient secret realm.

After another hour, Qi Yunzong's flying boat arrived, and a Jindan female cultivator in white got off the flying boat with more than 100 disciples and flew into the valley.

A burgundy-faced burly man who was the leader of the Xuanhuomen took out a formation spoon, his mana surged, emitting red light, and opened the outermost formation, like a bubble formation shield, which dissipated from the top until it reached the ground .

Yun Qi also followed behind, and opened the second layer of formation with the formation key.The female cultivator also immediately opened the last formation.

Zhang Shiping stretched his neck and watched the formations disappear layer by layer. He thought that a dark entrance to the secret realm would be revealed, but he didn't expect that there was a formation with a radius of seven or eight feet in the two square stone pillars, which was simple and grand.

Chapter 33 Teleportation

The three Golden Core cultivators dodged and were instantly distributed beside the circle in a triangular shape.

A hunchbacked old man, a big man with a red face, and a woman in white, the three Jindan monks carefully inspected the teleportation formation with their spiritual consciousness. There are dense lines on it, the widest lines are two fingers wide, and the narrow ones are like hair strands. All kinds of patterns and textures, layer after layer, are high-level formations that make ordinary people dizzy at the sight of them.

The three carefully checked the time of the two incense sticks, and checked every place and every line in the formation.In fact, they also know that their Yuanying ancestors have already used this teleportation formation, but what should be checked is still to be checked. In case of an accident, they will be teleported into the void. In a short period of time, the Yuanying monk may break the space and break free. Come out, but for the disciples in the Qi training period, it is absolutely death.

Not finding any problems, Yun Qi flipped his hands over and took out one piece of spirit stones of different colors from the storage bag, and embedded them into the nodes according to the formation method. The hunchbacked old man took out 23 middle-level spirit stones in a row The same is true for the red-faced man and the white-clothed woman. The three of them dropped the last middle-grade spirit stone at the same time. At the nodes in the lines, the spiritual energy of various attributes of the spirit stones circulated in the lines of the formation, and a gray aura rose from the formation. In the formation, an illusory moon-white disc floats three inches above the formation pattern.

However, in the middle of the teleportation formation, there are still three grooves that have not yet placed spiritual stones. The three of them each took out a high-grade spiritual stone that shone with aura, and put it in carefully. For a moment, it condensed into a milky white spiritual disk, just like the essence.

Half of these spirit stones came from the Jindan family, and it is impossible for the three factions to swagger and take over the spirit stones.Moreover, these Jindan families have to pay a large sum of spirit stones equivalent to tickets.

The foundation-building cultivator at the back urged hundreds of Qi training disciples from the three sects. Zhang Shiping was among the crowd. As soon as the people in front stepped into the formation, white lights flashed and disappeared, and Zhang Shiping also stepped into the formation. , disappeared in a whirl.

After all the disciples of the three sects had entered, it was the turn of the Jindan family disciples and casual cultivators, about three to four hundred people.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators in the strong wind waited for everyone to enter, the figures of the three gradually faded in the strong wind, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye. In the far distance of the sky in three directions, there were three shocking lights in gray, red and green.

The reason why the Nascent Soul cultivator waits until all the qi-training disciples have entered before leaving is because he is afraid that some high-level monks will pretend to be low-level disciples to enter the secret realm. More than 200 years ago, there was a Jindan monk who practiced high-level qi-retaining spells. , plus a secret treasure that can hide one's cultivation level, pretending to be a Qi training monk under the eyes of the golden core of the three sects and other families, mixed in, and took away countless treasures of heaven and earth.

The elixir harvested by all the disciples during the Qi training period was naturally very little. This extremely abnormal situation naturally aroused everyone's suspicion. The various sects thought that the elixir was hidden by the disciples of the sect, but in the three factions, many investigations were carried out. I found a trace, and when I found the Golden Core cultivator, the Golden Core cultivator who didn't know where he came from had already disappeared without a trace.

The three sects of Nascent Soul all suspected each other that it was done by the other party, but there was no evidence, and then nothing happened.

After that, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the three sects had to wait until all the qi training disciples had entered the secret realm and sealed off the teleportation array before leaving.They don't believe that low-level monks can sneak in under their noses.

……

Zhang Shiping shook his head and rubbed his temples. After people entered the teleportation formation, he was covered by a white mask, and then his eyes were dazzled and his head was dizzy. On the rock, next to it is a gravel valley, and if you turn two more positions, you will roll down.

After waking up, Zhang Shiping saw the scene in front of him, sweating in shock, and immediately activated a Vajra Talisman hidden in his bosom, raised a shield of spiritual light, and stretched out a python coiled around his body. Stretched apart by the Vajra Talisman, the muscles immediately tightened, and the egg-shaped Vajra shield was twisted into twists by it, with its bloody mouth wide open, spitting out a fishy smell and biting towards Zhang Shiping.

And Zhang Shiping took advantage of this gap, Zhang Shiping sacrificed Luo Jun sword, cut the boa constrictor into several sections, and the blood of the snake was dripping.

Zhang Shiping heaved a sigh of relief, staring at several sections of boa constrictors that were still writhing, cleanly skinned, shaved off flesh and blood, and put the sections of bloodshot white bones into storage bags.

As for the flesh and blood, Zhang Shiping was a bit reluctant, but he had no choice. He only collected a piece of snake that weighed tens of kilograms and put it in a storage bag.

I have been in the secret territory for a month, and this flesh and blood is stored in a storage bag, sealed with a magic talisman. After I go out, this flesh and blood will not be damaged, but it will also lose its spiritual power. It is no different from the flesh and blood of ordinary beasts. Why waste the storage bag space.

I don't know how many unlucky ghosts lost their lives as soon as they came in. If I woke up later, I would have been swallowed by the python, and by then it would be too late.

When Zhang Shiping was no longer dizzy, he picked a direction after he regained consciousness. Instead of flying, he walked and ran across the mountain.In this secret realm, Zhang Shiping only has a rough map, which is owned by all the disciples of the Zhengyang Sect. It is just a rough sign of the location of the elixir and monsters, and the specific is the trend of the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Shiping looked around and found his approximate location on the map.Here is a stone forest mountain, with large and small stone peaks standing everywhere, some low shrubs and weeds growing, as well as the old pine trees that Zhang Shiping woke up from, carnations, and some unknown trees growing between the stone crevices. In the small amount of soil in the room, there are also spiritual herbs that are directly rooted in the stone.

I am now in a relatively barren place here, the more I go to the middle, the more lush the vegetation, and the more elixir and monsters there are.

Most of the plants that can survive here for a long time have the ability to absorb spiritual energy, and can gradually degenerate from ordinary plants to spiritual plants.

As for whether to go to the places where the elixir and monsters are dense, Zhang Shiping has not yet decided. These places usually have the most people, and the fighting among them is the most intense.

He thought about collecting it on the periphery first, if he could collect enough elixir.Then he was on the periphery, and after a month, he went to the teleportation array recorded on the map. On that day, the three Golden Core monks would activate the teleportation array again for a whole day.

If the time is exceeded, the golden core of the three sects will not spend nearly [-] low-grade spirit stones for a mere Qi training monk.

……

In this rocky mountain forest, the trees are sparse, if someone flies in the sky, Zhang Shiping will be able to spot it in time.

Zhang Shiping ran among the rocky mountains and found no other people for most of the day, but he picked two elixir plants that were about 100 years old. They were a kind of gray lotus rooted in the stone, a second-rank low-grade elixir.

The two plants he picked were gray lotus with lotus pods, Luo Junjian breathed out his sword energy, and cutting the stone mountain was like cutting tofu, Zhang Shiping also dug out the lotus root growing in the stone.

The lotus root was only about the length of a forearm. After Zhang Shiping took it out, he broke off the smallest section, buried it in the stone pit again, poured some spiritual liquid on it, and left.

It is not so easy to find second-order spirit grass and spirit flowers outside. Zhang Shiping flew around the stone mountain with his eyes, trying to find a few more elixir plants. Phantom lizard with brown scales, triangular head, and spiny tail.

Zhang Shiping sneaked over using Qi Containing Technique, and followed for more than half an hour. When the brown lizard stopped to look around and licked its eyelids with its long tongue, pointing its finger down, Luo Junjian pierced the lizard's triangular head. This lizard is nailed to a stone.

Pulling out the sword, he put the brown lizard into the storage bag. Zhang Shiping walked around here for two more days, and saw a monk in Xuanhuomen costume from a distance. The two looked at each other from a distance. Holding the Jun sword in his hand, the aura of the thick-earth purple-gold shield became larger.The other party also immediately had a gray cloth with a long banner.

Zhang Shiping used the Sky Eye Technique, he saw that the other party was also a monk at the ninth level of Qi training, and since he had only been here for two days, and he was in this barren land, he couldn't find many good things, so he didn't want to fight with him.
