Three days later, before dark, Jiang Ping'an returned to Taiming Mountain Market and returned to the small rented yard.
Xiu Yun, Xuan Shuang and Gu Yunxu came forward excitedly.
Xiu Yun threw himself directly into Jiang Ping'an's arms and cried.
It turned out that when he first went out, Jiang Ping'an said he would be back in about six days, but it took him more than ten days to come back. The three women were all very worried that Jiang Ping'an had been killed by Chen Shiguang and his wife.
They worried for more than ten days.
After some joy and excitement, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang cooked together for Jiang Ping'an.
Although cooking is usually the task of Gu Yunxu, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang still learned to cook and cooked together with Gu Yunxu.
Gu Yunxu took out three spiritual stones and handed them to Jiang Ping'an: "Brother Jiang Dao, I sold eight pieces of Wind Riding Talisman on the market day at the beginning of the month. I got eight spiritual stones and paid the rent for five spiritual stones."
Jiang Ping'an accepted the spirit stone, gently patted Storage Bag, and placed Golden Python's body on the ground. Gu Yunxu was slightly surprised when he saw this.
"You can sell Golden Python's corpse," Jiang Ping'an said. "This Golden Python is nourished by Golden Fiend Qi, and its scales are very hard. In addition, its poison sac also carries Golden Fiend Qi, which is quite powerful."
Gu Yunxu responded, "Okay."
Then, she put Golden Python's body into her Storage Bag.
Almost half an hour later, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang prepared several dishes to go with the wine and brought them out.
A man and three women sat around the stone table, eating, drinking and chatting.
At the wine table, Jiang Ping'an took out the golden crane egg and handed it to Xuan Shuang: "This crane egg may hatch into a spiritual crane and give it to you."
He didn't have the time or energy to raise spiritual beasts and birds, so he simply left it to Xuan Shuang.
"Thank you, Master." Xuan Shuang shouted with a rare hint of joy on his face and accepted the golden crane egg.
Jiang Ping'an turned his eyes to Xiu Yun's pretty face showing envy, and said with a smile, "Xiu Yun, I will give you something good next time."
"Thank you, Master." Xiu Yun immediately shouted happily.
Gu Yunxu is also very envious, but she knows that Jiang Ping'an will not give her good things for nothing.
Late at night, Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang entered Jiang Ping'an's room to practice with Jiang Ping'an. The overwhelming sound coming from the room made Gu Yunxu unable to practice, so he could only lie down and sleep, covering his head with a quilt.
The next day, Jiang Ping'an went to the street and wanted to buy Art of Alchemy and an alchemy furnace. As a result, Art of Alchemy was not sold in any regular shops.
After searching for a long time, Jiang Ping'an finally found a few copies of Art of Alchemy in a sundry store called "Zheng's Curiosities".
Zheng's Curiosities specializes in purchasing all kinds of sundries and then reselling them at a higher price. It sells something that is clearly not true.
In the end, Jiang Ping'an spent three spiritual stones to buy a copy of "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy". "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" looks the most realistic, and there are five books in total, each one inch thick.
I bought "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy", Jiang Ping'an, then went to Qingyu Business Tower (directly operated by the Qingyu Immortal Sect), and spent five spiritual stones to buy an ordinary alchemy furnace.
It took Jiang Ping'an two days to read "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" in one glance.
Putting down the last book "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy", Jiang Ping'an closed his eyes, opened the panel in his mind, and his eyes fell on the entry [Art of Alchemy].
"Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" [Gradeless] (0/100,000): Written by the alchemy madman Zhang Kaifeng, who only refined one batch of Qi and Blood Pill in his life...
"What a trap." Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Five thick books, almost all of them are the fantasies of a madman."
"No matter, even if it's all false, I have Proficiency Points and I can make it true."
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Jiang Ping'an added 100,000 Proficiency Points to "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy".
The next moment, a lot of thoughts about "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" poured into Jiang Ping'an's mind.
After about a hundred breaths, Jiang Ping'an received his insights and realized that "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" was indeed mostly wrong.
However, "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" is not without its merits, and the idea is basically correct.
After a short rest, Jiang Ping'an added 990 Proficiency Points to "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" in one go.
The next moment, a large number of extremely profound insights about "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" poured into his mind.
After half a cup of tea, Jiang Ping'an finally fully accepted his feelings. He corrected all the mistakes in "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" and became a real Art of Alchemy.
Looking at the panel again, "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy" shows that it is spiritual level Art of Alchemy.
"At least until the Foundation Establishment Realm stage, I don't have to spend time and money looking for Art of Alchemy." Jiang Ping'an said to himself with a happy look on his face.
He turned and glanced out the window. It was already afternoon, but not yet evening.
"Before it gets dark, some Golden Marrow Pill's spiritual herbal ingredients will come back. Tomorrow we will start the furnace and try to make elixirs." Jiang Ping'an said secretly.
So, he put away "Nanshan Hermit's Sayings on Alchemy", got up and walked out of the room.
Walking into the courtyard, Gu Yunxu came up to him. "Brother Jiang Dao, Golden Python has been sold. A total of two spiritual stones and five hundred taels of gold were sold."
As she spoke, she took out the spirit stones and gold and presented them to Jiang Ping'an.
Jiang Ping'an accepted the spirit stones and gold, and then gave Gu Yunxu three hundred taels of gold. "Thank you for your hard work, this is yours."
"Thank you, Dao Brother Jiang." Gu Yunxu accepted the gold.
Jiang Ping'an took out another flying sword and asked, "How many spiritual stones is this flying sword worth?"
Gu Yunxu took the flying sword, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is a fine product among the middle-grade flying swords. Not only is it powerful, it can also be used by the Spirit Aperture Realm, a late-stage monk Sword Flight. It is worth at least twelve spiritual stones, and it is possible to sell it for fifteen spiritual stones."
Jiang Ping'an took out another flying sword and handed it to Gu Yunxu, and said, "Tomorrow, you take these two flying swords and sell them. Don't sell them at Taiming Mountain Market."
"Okay, I will definitely live up to my trust!" Gu Yunxu agreed immediately.
She guessed that the two flying swords came from Chen Shiguang and Li Xianzi.
Jiang Ping'an then continued to leave the yard and went to the streets to purchase spiritual herbs.
In about an hour, Jiang Ping'an came back with the purchase. A serving of Golden Marrow Pill's spiritual herbal ingredients requires three spiritual stones, and he only bought three copies.
The next morning, Gu Yunxu said goodbye to Jiang Ping'an: "Brother Jiang Dao, it will take about ten days to come back from this trip, or even a month."
"Safety first." Jiang Ping'an warned.
"Understood, brother Dao Jiang, please rest assured." Gu Yunxu saluted Jiang Ping'an, then said goodbye to Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang, and finally left.
After Gu Yunxu left, Jiang Ping'an asked Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang to help empty the kitchen to make room for Alchemy Room.
As long as the alchemy goes smoothly, he plans to rent a medium-sized courtyard with five rooms in the future, so he doesn't want to bother building an alchemy room.
Not long after, the kitchen was emptied, Jiang Ping'an put out the alchemy furnace and started making alchemy.
Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang stood outside the door and watched nervously and expectantly.
Most of a day later, Jiang Ping'an successfully produced a furnace of Golden Marrow Pill.
There are ten pieces of Golden Marrow Pill in this furnace. They are all round and golden, containing a lot of spiritual energy and exuding the fragrant fragrance of Spirit Pills.
"Congratulations, young master, for becoming an alchemist!" Xiu Yun and Xuan Shuang walked in and congratulated Jiang Ping'an excitedly.
Jiang Ping'an also smiled happily and said, "With Spirit Pills, our cultivation will improve a lot in the future. After living here for this month, we will change to a big courtyard."
Although it takes a long time to refine one furnace of Golden Marrow Pill and the spiritual energy is exhausted, you can get ten Spirit Pills after one furnace. After deducting the cost, it is obviously much more cost-effective than drawing talismans.
Of course, the threshold for alchemy is higher than that of drawing talismans, and it is not something that ordinary casual cultivators can get involved with.
