What Were You Thinking, Xiao Chen, Mixing This Poison into Pills?!
"Bright Flame True Person has reached an agreement with Thunder Sound True Person of the Spirit Origin Sect. From now on, the two sects will help each other and attack the Divine Fire Sect evil cultivator."
Mei Yong was astonishing as soon as he came up.
Xiao Chen is not surprised by the result itself.
Divine Fire Sect is powerful, and it is both a right and a wise move for the sects of the right way to support He Province.
Otherwise, when Divine Fire Sect takes down He Province, the next victim will be Li Province.
And by that time, no other allies can be found to come to help.
But the question is, did this result come too quickly?
It has only been less than two years, is He Province already unable to withstand it?
As far as he knew, the previous Reflecting Moon Immortal Sect still held on for more than three years after the mountain gate was heavily surrounded.
The others were also a little surprised and asked He Province about the current situation.
Mei Yong looked a little strange. He wanted to explain the misunderstanding, but he didn't know how to explain it.
So I had to silently open a picture of the latest He Province situation.
"The white circle is the territory currently controlled by the Spirit Origin Sect, and the red circle is the place Divine Fire Sect has already occupied."
Xiao Chen looked up after hearing this, and at a glance He Province realized that something was not right about the situation.
The outer perimeter of the Spirit Origin Sect's territory in the north is marked with dense red Stronghold, almost forming a continuous line.
Especially near the two first-order Spirit Vein, they are even more red and black.
But there are only a few scattered red dots in the central and southern parts of He Province.
Judging from the distribution, there is no organization or connection. It is more like Bandit Cultivator, who is fishing in troubled waters, is using the name of the Divine Fire Sect to cause chaos.
This is very interesting.
Judging from this picture alone, it may be more appropriate to change the invasion of He Province to the invasion of the Spirit Origin Sect.
"Ahem!"
Mei Yong coughed lightly. "All in all, the situation is quite serious now. There is an urgent need to add more manpower to maintain the front line."
"The purpose of this meeting is to ask all fellow apprentices if anyone is willing to go to He Province to fight against the demonic cultivators."
"I have another demon-killing reward here, Spirit Origin Sect."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
inner disciple, who was standing by the side, immediately delivered the exchange books that had just been copied to everyone present.
Xiao Chen opened the redemption book and looked at it.
I have to say that the rewards Spirit Origin Sect offered this time are quite generous.
Not only are there a wide variety, but there are also many rare treasures that are rarely seen in ordinary times.
Just High-Grade Magic Tool, a total of sixty-four pieces were taken out, and there were a total of twenty mysterious-level inheritances.
Various Mid-Grade Magic Tool, Second-Order Spirit Pill, special Spirit Fruit, five elements Spiritual Sand, etc. are countless.
Xiao Chen turned directly to the last few pages, and the things listed here are all really good things.
Twenty copies of the top five-element Spirit Liquid, five full pieces of Top-Grade Magical Artifact, eight complete sets of Earth-grade Inheritance, nineteen different prefecture-level Law Technique, and one second-level Alligator Cat Inner Core.
The most important thing is that the Points required to redeem these things is not much.
Spirit Origin Sect directly lists dozens of tasks that can be obtained by Points.
Theoretically, as long as you work hard for one year, you can earn more than the usual ten years.
There is one thing to say, and it is really exciting to watch.
Xiao Chen had the idea of giving it a try. Once he got the Alligator Cat Inner Core, he should be able to directly refine Pseudo-Core.
The others were even more excited.
Digital Guest Elder all said on the spot: good and evil cannot coexist, and they are willing to set out immediately to reinforce He Province Exterminate Demons and Defend the Dao.
Mei Yong Waited until everyone had finished reading, then poured cold water on it.
"Junior brothers, don't worry, I have some bad news here."
"According to reliable intelligence, the reason why Spirit Origin Sect is so generous is because Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator has already suffered casualties."
"These Points very high tasks involve considerable risks."
When he said this, some people began to hesitate.
Especially many Foundation Establishment who are older or born in Lineage are not very willing to take risks.
But there are also other groups represented by Huang Haoran, and Foundation Establishment who are younger or not from Lineage, who all say that they are not afraid of risks.
"Brothers, please don't worry."
Mei Yong tried to persuade him, "Although time is tight this time, we still have three days to prepare."
"After all, life is at stake in this matter. Please go back and think about it carefully, and you can also discuss it with each other. Those who want to go please gather in the square three days later at 2:00 noon."
"You can't go back on your word after going to He Province, but before that, you can change your mind at any time."
Xiao Chen actually wanted Alligator Cat Inner Core and Wood-element Spirit Liquid, but he did not make a decision directly.
Instead, the day after the meeting ended, I went to see Elder Chen and wanted to ask for his opinion.
Chen Family The others happened to be there too.
Chen Tianyuan heard this and advised directly, "Nephew Xiao, He Province The situation is in chaos now. This is not a good opportunity."
Elder Chen also nodded in agreement. "Your uncle is right. With your talent, being a Alchemist is better than anything else. There is no need to take such risks."
Chen Tianfeng also spoke, "Nephew Xiao, fighting and killing is boring. Are you interested in refining weapons?"
Huh?
As soon as he said this, Chen Tianyuan retorted before Xiao Chen could reply, "What's so good about refining weapons?"
"Besides, he has already chosen alchemy, so there is no reason to give up halfway."
"Nephew Xiao, Spirit Origin Sect just sent a lot of orders this time. If you are free, you can come to the Pill Refining Hall to have a look."
Then everyone discussed for a while about the reinforcement of He Province.
Chen Tianyuan's attitude is very clear. "Jiang Family and Song Family are more anxious than us. It's best to let them explore the way first this time."
"The sect should have a second batch of reinforcements. If the risk is indeed not high, we can go there later."
Xiao Chen also learned about Five Great Families's current attitude from him.
Jiang Family wants to open up He Province's alchemy market, and Song Family wants to restore Trade Route as soon as possible.
Therefore, both families hope that the sect will reinforce He Province, who belongs to the radical faction.
Liu Family only wants to guard the plain Spirit Field, and Su Family only wants to guard its own South Lake.
Neither of them wants to go to He Province to be beaten to death, and they are conservatives.
Chen Family's current position is wavering. He wants Spirit Origin Sect's reward, but he doesn't want to take too high risks.
Therefore, I plan to wait and see the specific situation first. To put it mildly, it belongs to Neutral Faction.
Xiao Chen's original thoughts are actually similar to those of the Chen Family.
First, although the rewards of the Spirit Origin Sect are indeed attractive, they are not indispensable.
The Spirit Liquid I have on hand is enough for the time being, and Top-Grade Magical Artifact is not in short supply. Earth-grade Inheritance and Law Technique are not attractive to me either.
Secondly, with his ability, even if he arrives a little late, it won't be a big problem to compete for Inner Core.
Since there will be a second batch of reinforcements in the future, there is really no need for him to rush over and take risks immediately.
Therefore, he also made up his mind to wait and see.
We will make a decision after the first batch of fellow disciples who go to He Province return with more precise news.
.
Three days later, Xiao Chen came to Sect Square to say goodbye to Huang Haoran and Ye Fei.
Ye Fei even invited him to go with He Province: "I heard before that Senior Brother Xiao was inquiring about the top Spirit Liquid. This time Spirit Origin Sect gave him six bottles of Wood-element Spirit Liquid."
"With senior brother's strength, it is not easy to earn Points."
Huang Haoran instead supported him to stay. "If you ask me, Senior Brother Xiao might as well not go."
"It just so happens that we Demon Subduing Hall still have one person left here."
"There was a clue from a new newspaper yesterday. Before I had time to investigate it, the file was placed in the back hall. I have to ask Senior Brother Xiao to help me take a look."
Xiao Chen nodded. "That's easy to say, I'll just handle it."
There are four Foundation Establishment in the Demon Subduing Hall, but Miao Yuqing always only follows Ye Fei, they are inseparable, and this time is no exception.
Daily affairs are basically handled by them.
However, this time the three of them are going to He Province, and it is estimated that the time will not be short.
In addition, many other monks from the Upper Sect sect have also been redeployed, bringing together a total of fifty Foundation Establishment, resulting in a shortage of manpower everywhere.
Therefore, in the following days, many affairs of the Demon Subduing Hall naturally fell on the shoulders of Xiao Chen.
Fortunately, there is not much trouble now.
After numerous and sparing no efforts in cracking down on the Li Fire Sect, the demonic cultivators have basically disappeared.
Xiao Chen took a look at the file left by Huang Haoran in person, but found no trace of the demon cultivator.
On the contrary, in a deep forest, I caught a pair of wild mandarin ducks meeting at night.
The woman is from a nearby Foundation Establishment Family, but the man is just a casual cultivator with no background.
Since the woman Lineage did not allow them to fall in love, the two had to choose to meet in the woods here in the middle of the night with their faces covered.
Unexpectedly, this move was misunderstood by the nearby Spirit Farmer, who mistakenly thought it was a secret activity by the magic cultivator, and hurriedly reported it to the Demon Subduing Hall.
Apart from this, the rest of the "emergency information" was basically a false alarm.
The most serious incident involving demonic cultivators occurred in a small town in the north where ten children were lost for ten consecutive days.
Each child disappeared inexplicably the first night, and then appeared in a ruined temple outside the town the next night.
When they were discovered, they all had no hearts.
After Xiao Chen personally investigated, it was found that it was a casual cultivator in the town who accidentally picked up a folk remedy called 'Elixir of Immortality', which was completely a man-made disaster.
Xiao Chen pulled out Flying Sword and gave the casual cultivator a sword. The facts proved that the folk remedy was fake.
The so-called Elixir of Immortality cannot save his life.
A month passed like this.
News came from the Pill Refining Hall, and another batch of orders for Bloodspike Pill were received.
This time Chen Tianyuan directly sent someone to notify Xiao Chen and asked him to go over and get the medicinal materials.
Since Li Fire Sect and Spirit Origin Sect reached cooperation, both Pill Refining Hall and Weapon Forging Hall have received a large number of tasks.
No matter when you come here, you can see a large number of monks busy working on Spirit Herb or refining alchemy.
Xiao Chen directly received all the raw materials for refining Bloodspike Pill into Storage Bag.
Naturally, this was not allowed, but since the last time he handed over fifty bottles of Bloodspike Pill, no one has mentioned this rule to him.
Originally, I was about to leave after picking up Spirit Herb.
Suddenly a voice came from behind. "Grandmaster Xiao Please stay."
When he turned around, he saw an old man who looked familiar.
The other party came over and gave another salute. "Grandmaster Xiao, now there is another residual recipe that makes us a little confused. You happened to be here today, can you give me some advice?"
The name Grandmaster Xiao was also left over after the last time Bloodspike Pill was refined.
Xiao Chen corrected it several times, but to no avail.
Later, I simply got used to it. In return, I would occasionally answer some questions about alchemy. If there were some things that were hard to describe or I didn't understand, I would just start practicing them.
As time went by, these people shouted even more energetically.
"Aren't everyone busy with the tasks of the Spirit Origin Sect these days?"
"Grandmaster Xiao, this is the mission of the Spirit Origin Sect."
"Ah? Shouldn't the other side give us Pill Formula? How can it be the disabled party?"
The remaining part is the incomplete Pill Formula, which is completely unusable until repaired.
"Oh, it's different this time."
The old man sighed and introduced, "It is said that Spirit Origin Sect disciples suffered a lot during the frontal battlefield battle."
"Especially the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm suffered heavy injuries, and the gap in casualties between the two sides was very large."
"After the Spirit Origin Sect's investigation, it is said that the disciples of the Divine Fire Sect have taken a large amount of this elixir named Iron Bone Pill."
"Many demonic Qi Refining Cultivators have used this to survive the aftermath of the fight between Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
Iron Bone Pill?
Xiao Chen sounds a bit familiar, as if I have seen this Pill Formula somewhere.
The two came to the fourth floor of the Pill Hall, where there is a room dedicated to studying the residual party Alchemy Chamber.
At this time, there were already many Alchemist inside. Seeing Xiao Chen come in, they all stood up to welcome him.
"Hey, isn't this Grandmaster Xiao!"
A strange voice came, Jiang Shize was actually here too.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked directly to the table and asked, "Is this the residual recipe of Iron Bone Pill?"
He looked at the dozens of Spirit Herb that had been deduced on the desktop, and they looked even more familiar.
Then he suddenly remembered that he had previously seized a Pill Formula of Iron Bone Pill from a Body Cultivator of Jingchuan County.
Most of them Spirit Herb are quite similar to the remnant square in front of you.
There are only a few key ingredients, which are not very consistent.
"Grandmaster Xiao, we have checked it carefully many times, but we still can't figure out a question."
"How on earth can the other party achieve such a powerful body-building effect and at the same time be able to refine large quantities of this elixir at a low cost."
One Guest Elder took the lead in asking the question, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
In fact, they are already very good. Relying on the Iron Bone Pill sample provided by the Spirit Origin Sect, they directly reverse-produced most of the Spirit Herb.
It has almost restored the formula of Iron Bone Pill.
But unfortunately, as Righteous Cultivator, their thinking is slightly restricted.
Xiao Chen picked up the brush on the table, brushed it, and wrote down a spiritual material--Red Cong.
"What do you think if I replace this with this?"
When everyone looked down, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
Red Cong is so toxic that just a piece the size of a date pit can directly poison a Late-Stage Qi Refining monk.
Some people frowned, some had doubts in their eyes, and some simply shook their heads.
An older Alchemist stammered, "Oh, this, this, this..."
Another Alchemist also had a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Isn't this... a little inappropriate?"
Due to Xiao Chen's previous prestige, although everyone had some doubts, they were hesitant and did not dare to express their opinions easily.
On the one hand, they feel that Xiao Chen has profound knowledge in alchemy, and this proposal may have its own uniqueness.
After all, throughout the ages, many Pill Formula have the effect of fighting poison with poison.
But on the other hand, they feel that doing so is a bit too risky, and judging from the current situation, it seems that there is no Spirit Herb that can inhibit the toxin.
.
Jiang Shize doesn't have that worry.
He stood up on the spot without hesitation and criticized angrily. "This is bullshit!"
"Red Cong can indeed have a better physical training effect, but it is too toxic. Once it is refined into the elixir, it will become a poison that can kill you."
"In order to prepare the remaining prescription, you mixed this poison into the elixir. Xiao Chen What is your intention!"
After Xiao Chen took away Bloodspike Pill's mission last time, Jiang Shize felt very unhappy with him.
Unfortunately, he failed to find any suitable opportunities several times after that.
Seeing that Xiao Chen actually put Red Cong into Pill Formula today, Jiang Shize couldn't wait to jump out and accused loudly and righteously.
"I admit that you do have some talent in practicing Pill Formula."
"But refining elixir is like a doctor, it requires a heart of benevolence and righteousness."
"If you do anything for the sake of effectiveness, you are simply straying into the devil's path. How is this behavior any different from the devil's cultivation?"
His voice became louder and louder, obviously very excited.
After hearing what Jiang Shize said, most people nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his point of view in their hearts.
Xiao Chen shook his head gently. "First of all, Iron Bone Pill is the magic pill."
"Didn't Spirit Origin Sect tell you that this is the elixir they seized from the Divine Fire Sect demon cultivator?"
When he asked this question, everyone around him was stunned.
An old man frowned. "This is correct in itself. Since it is Demonic Sect's elixir, it is normal to have some side effects."
"But we are not from the Demonic Sect. Since we know that the Pill Formula used by the other party has problems, we should modify it."
Jiang Shize immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean too."
"No matter whether there is something wrong with the Pill Formula used by the Divine Fire Sect, Xiao Chen, there is a big problem with your thinking."
After saying this, everyone nearby had a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Two or three people followed Jiang Shize and spoke in agreement.
A relatively young Alchemist said, "What Senior Brother Jiang said makes sense. As Righteous Alchemist, you should have basic ethics."
Another voice sounded, even with a bit of indignation. "Yes, there are some things that Divine Fire Sect's magic cultivators can do, but we can't do."
The old man before also commented. "Actually, Xiao Chen's idea is really good."
"But it's just too indifferent. We can't ignore the safety of our disciples in pursuit of efficacy."
Xiao Chen listened to everyone's discussion and couldn't help but shook his head. "I originally wanted to communicate with you, but I didn't expect some clowns to jump out so impatiently."
He picked up the pen and wrote down the three flavors Spirit Herb, and at the same time, with a stroke of the pen, he checked out all the original wrong Spirit Herb.
Then he looked around and asked softly, "Since you have the idea of modifying it, why don't you think about how to modify it first?"
Everyone looked at the modified Pill Formula on the desktop and were immediately speechless.
After such a modification as Xiao Chen, the originally toxic Red Cong was cleverly suppressed by the newly added three-flavored Spirit Herb.
Not only is it no longer toxic, but it is estimated that the effect of Body Refining can be enhanced to a certain extent, which can be said to turn decay into magic.
Xiao Chen continued to ask, "Can you repair this residual recipe by pointing at me and making sarcastic remarks?"
"Or will this make you feel satisfied?"
His voice was not high, but these words were deafening to the ears of those around him.
"Crack."
Xiao Chen put the pen back on the table, turned around and left directly.
He didn't say anything accusatory, but instead he made everyone present feel ashamed.
Especially those who had just spoken in agreement, all of them blushed at this time.
But soon, Chen Family Alchemist stood up and accused Jiang Shize: "Grandmaster Xiao has good intentions, but it's all your fault for jumping up and down here and creating a mess."
"If Grandmaster Xiao doesn't share his experience with us in the future, the culprit will be a clown like you."
Most people don't dare to speak out because of Jiang Shize's identity.
But judging from the weird looks in their eyes, it was obvious that they all had such thoughts.
The old man also turned against Grandmaster Xiao and rebuked him righteously. "Yes, I think you are clearly jealous of Grandmaster Xiao's talent, so you are talking nonsense and malicious slander here."
From his tone to his demeanor, it was just like what he had just accused Xiao Chen of.
Of course, these next nonsense things have nothing to do with Xiao Chen.
He returned directly to Emerald Valley, practicing as usual in the morning and refining alchemy in the evening.
It's just that the courtyard door is open now, and occasionally Demon Subduing Hall's disciples send files, so we take action to solve it.
Every three days, you can still see Su Wanqing coming to train Spirit Nurturing Flower.
It must be said that under her careful care, these twelve pots of spiritual flowers are growing gratifyingly.
Not only are the stems tall and straight, more than two feet high, but they have also produced flower buds that are three inches in size and are about to bloom.
At first, such an obviously unusual change made Su Wanqing feel a little confused.
Why does this batch of Heavenly Net Star grow so lushly?
Far bigger than the few flowers she took care of on Azure Water Peak.
But after some thinking, Su Wanqing came to the conclusion - because this is the spiritual flower she has raised since childhood and carefully planted.
For this reason, he even asked Xiao Chen for credit, "Uncle Xiao, I must be awesome!"
"If you want to plant other spiritual flowers in the future, remember to let me do it."
Xiao Chen also did not hesitate to praise, "Indeed, thank you for taking care of these spiritual flowers."
However, he naturally knew in his heart that Su Wanqing only accelerated the growth of the spiritual flower.
The most fundamental reason is actually because my batch of seeds is special.
At that time at Yellow Wind Valley, he discovered that the flower seeds in his Storage Bag were much larger than those sold at the stall.
Now it seems really unusual.
He was also looking forward to what the flowers would look like after they bloomed.
Such a peaceful life lasted until the evening of July 30th.
Xiao Chen had just fallen asleep when suddenly a disciple of the Demon Subduing Hall ran over and banged on the door.
"Manager Xiao, something bad is going to happen, Foundation Establishment Demon is causing trouble!"
