Immortal Formula

   Chapter 286 Leisurely Life During Qi Refining

Rong Lao took her out and said as he walked: "This spiritual garden occupies a small area, but many of them are precious seeds left by the ancestors back then. It is very precious to say that it is precious, but it is not very useful. The pill recipes and techniques have not been passed down, so many spiritual grasses are not known for their use. But this is passed down by the ancestors, and they cannot be discarded at will, and must be carefully protected. Look at the east, there are spiritual grasses there, like Luan Mingzhi, Luo Shengcao, these are all mild-mannered, you look at the south, it is the root of fire, and it needs to be nourished by Nanminglihuo, so the two should be farther apart."

He pointed to the west again and said, "Look, there are spiritual roots over there, and they will often grow for hundreds of years. They were snatched from the back mountain and planted here. Now, because the nourishment of spiritual energy is not enough, most of them will wither. ."

  Gu Yan followed him like this, turning around the entire spiritual garden, and saw a lot of exotic flowers that he had only heard of but had never seen in Yue Kingdom. After turning around again, Rong Lao took her back to the small courtyard in the southeast corner again, and said, "Your task is to inspect the spiritual garden every day to see if the flowers and plants are withered or not growing well. , and then report it to me, and I will slowly teach you how to raise it. If you are determined, you will naturally learn these things in three or five years, and you will be enough to take care of the Lingyuan by yourself."

Gu Yan responded respectfully, no matter if she really wanted to stay here for three or five years, but she really wanted to learn how to nourish the spirit grass with Rong Lao. After all, as an alchemist, Some materials always have to be brought by yourself. And Gu Yan is really not very proficient in this aspect, otherwise the violet flower in her chaotic space would not have grown for decades before finally blooming.

   After listening to Old Rong's instructions, she went to the deacon hall in the mountain gate and received a set of clothes and quilts used by the outer sect disciples. She officially joined the Bixia Sect and became an outer sect disciple.

In the deacon hall, she saw seven or eight little girls and two teenagers, all standing there, led by Lin Zitong, probably the disciples recruited by the Bixia Sect this time. Wei Zhaoyi also In it, just stand at the end. Standing in front of the new disciples, only two positions away from Lin Zitong, was a tall little girl, her skin was fair and cold, like a jade carving, her neck was raised high, revealing a touch of The snow-white skin came, and there was an arrogance between her brows. Gu Yan couldn't help but be surprised that it was actually Shuimu Shuanggengen!

   In addition, her water spirit roots are extremely pure, and in Cangwu, she is a rare immortal cultivator. It seemed that she must have won the first place in the entrance examination of the disciples this time.

Gu Yan took the things and looked at these new disciples. Although they were just starting out, they all had high hearts. They didn't even look at her as an outer disciple, so they looked at Wei Wei who was standing at the end, a little timid. Zhaoyi cast an encouraging look, and then went back to the spiritual garden on her own.

   Next, Gu Yan stepped into her leisurely life as a "Qi-Refining Disciple".

  The old man is not strict, as long as he finishes his own work every day, then he does not care about anything else. Gu Yan wakes up every morning, first uses his spiritual sense to search the entire spiritual garden to see where the growth of the spiritual grass is hindering, and where the terrain has changed, so that the movement of the spiritual energy will change, and then one by one to the old man. Reportedly, her efficiency in doing so is naturally much higher than those of the disciples who guarded the spiritual garden in the past. After less than a month, Rong Lao began to look at her differently, Gu Yan began to ask him to teach him about planting spirit grass, Rong Lao also answered one by one, and said with emotion: "The monks now, Everyone is thinking about how to improve their cultivation base and trying their best to refine those domineering medicinal pills. In fact, the practice of alchemy originates from the earth. The alchemy recipes are all about being neutral and peaceful, but now blindly pursuing medicinal properties has lost the original intention of an alchemist."

Gu Yan has been by his side these days, and listened to his nagging a lot, and then replied: "Maybe it's because the ancient spirit grasses are rich in aura, and now they can't cultivate such materials, so they can only pass It should not be considered that the medicinal herbs are used to increase the medicinal properties."

Rong Lao sighed: "Because they don't know, cultivating spirit grass requires care. If those ancient spirit roots are still there, it may take me hundreds of years to cultivate a spirit grass similar to the previous one. Come. It's a pity."

  Gu Yan heard a move in his heart and asked, "I heard that Bixia Sect used to have the same origin as the Danding Sect, so there must be a lot of ancient spirits hidden in the door?"

Rong Lao sighed, "As you probably know, the earliest spiritual garden of Bixia Sect was in the back mountain. At that time, when I first entered the school, I followed the ancestors and served the spiritual garden. However, something happened later. The fire burned everything there, and I tried my best to grab a little bit. The spiritual garden here is collected bit by bit from the outside by the heads of several generations, compared to the previous grand occasion, tsk tsk!"

There was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "Do you know how big the previous spiritual garden was? It was the bell of Wei Guo's spiritual energy, but it was a pity that a fire burned the earth veins. At that time, there were thousands of Pearl Spirit Grass plants alone. !"

   Gu Yan was taken aback immediately, Pearl Spirit Grass is a necessary material for refining Kidan, and there are only seven or eight plants in this spiritual garden. There are many of them. She wants to secretly get some leaves and use them, but there are thousands of plants in the original spiritual garden! Gu Yan couldn't help but think about how many medicinal materials would be used for alchemy if he could guard the spiritual garden?

Rong Lao said at this time: "I see that you are also familiar with alchemy. This spiritual garden was originally half-abandoned. People personally instructed, you can't use it outside, whatever you want, just take it."

  Gu Yan knew that this was Old Rong's care for him, so he respectfully thanked him. She was in the spirit garden. After checking the situation every day, she would come to the place where Mr. Rong lived, report to him, and then listen to him tell some essentials of cultivating spirit grass and the anecdote of the year, until around noon , she prepared her own alchemy matters. After careful consideration, Gu Yan decided to refine Snow Melting Pill.

This is a kind of holy medicine for base building cultivators to heal wounds. It also has a certain effect on dandan cultivators. It is much better than Qingyundan, and the materials in the spiritual garden can be made up of seven, seven or eight, leaving one or two kinds. It's not very hard to find either, and it's very useful to reconcile the damaged meridians in her body. It's just that she just heard Ming Wuhuang say this, but the materials have not been prepared. There is the most important main medicine of the three flavors, which has never been seen in Yueguo and Guixuhai. Refining this elixir can at least save the lives of a few more Zhuli Gong cultivators.

  Because she has never made Snow Melting Pill, she prepared more materials at the beginning. After two trials, the furnace will be officially opened. There is a blank period of several months during this period. During this period, she would regularly go to the Fatang to listen to a sermon once a month, and she spent most of the rest of the day in the spiritual garden, with so many exotic flowers and plants for her to study. Sometimes, the Wei brothers and sisters, as well as Lin Zitong, would come to play with her.

Wei Zhaoyi entered the Bixia Sect and worshipped under Gan Biwu's sect. She was regarded as the head disciple, and Wei Qing and Lin Zitong took care of her. , I don’t know many people. Lin Zitong is a direct disciple of the head master and has to take care of the affairs of the Bixia Sect. Wei Qing is a man and cannot go to places where there are many female disciples of the inner sect, and the Lingyuan is in Outside the mountain, not only is it secluded, but the scenery is also good, so Wei Zhaoyi always brings Wei Qing here to play, and sometimes Lin Zitong also comes. And when they first arrived at Bixia Sect, they met the disciple surnamed Zhang outside the mountain gate. Later, Gu Yan knew that his name was Zhang Daniu. He heard that when he was a child, he was a cattle herder. He originally only had shallow spiritual roots. After several teachers, no one liked him. Later, an elder of Bixia Sect accidentally discovered that he had some talent in alchemy, so he accepted him into the door and focused on nurturing him. He started a little later than Lin Zitong. He had a simple and honest temperament, and he could get along well with Wei Qing. Moreover, he was learning alchemy, so he often went to Lingyuan and became familiar with Gu Yan.

Wei Zhaoyi would come every three or five days, mostly with Wei Qing, and sometimes Lin Zitong would come too. A few people didn't go too far, so they just found an open space in the spiritual garden to drink tea and talk about heaven. In Zhang Daniu's words, looking at the scenery of the sky and the mountains and smelling the fragrance of medicine, don't have fun. Sometimes he would bring a bottle of self-brewed medicinal wine, saying that it was a secret recipe passed down by his master alone. The female cultivator could drink it to nourish his heart and nourish his face, and then the three girls would **** it up, leaving the two teenagers looking at each other.

Gu Yan lived such a leisurely and comfortable life. This was something she had never experienced in her nearly 100-year cultivation career. Since she left Tianmu Mountain, she has been alone and rarely accompanied by others. During the day, he was either shouting or killing, or being chased by others. He experienced life and death dangers. There were very few such leisurely days, even when he was taking care of his family in Qingyun Mountain. So she actually enjoys this kind of life. Anyway, she came to Cangwu alone, and she has nothing urgent to do. The injury needs to be taken care of slowly, and she can't be in a hurry, so she takes root in Bixia Sect with peace of mind.

In an instant, half a year has passed, and Gu Yan's cultivation has gradually risen to the fifth level of Qi Refining, which also makes her sigh that Cangwu's cultivation environment is indeed better than that of Shenzhou. Vitality, in the past six months, she has also tried to open the furnace twice. Although the commonly used pill furnace, it is not easy to use Cangwu materials, but it is barely usable, so she decided to open the furnace and refine it. Snowmelt Dan.
