The deacon on duty looked through it again and found another alchemy task.
"There is another mission, Luofeng Commandery, South Huai City, Gu Wen, elder Gu Zhijing. They need the assistance of an inner disciple. They only say that they are assisting in refining the elixir. They will provide the elixir recipe and raw materials for free. They did not elaborate on the specific elixir to be refined. The reward for this mission is very generous, even more generous than the second mission."
Han Yi frowned. "Why are there no ordinary alchemy tasks that don't require going out?"
The deacon on duty explained, "Junior brother Han is unaware that the current tasks within the sect, whether it is alchemy or other tasks, if they are simple, will be taken away very quickly once they are released."
"In the past few years, the inner disciples have become more enthusiastic. They are more... well, more enthusiastic about the sect Contribution Points and its resources for cultivating immortals than before."
"These three tasks are also because each has its own threshold, or requires specific experience in alchemy, or requires going out and passing an assessment, or the tasks are not clear, so no one has taken them up yet."
Han Yi Clearly, this means that the inner sect's missions are now very popular. It seems that after the New Deal, especially after the launch of escort and New Peak Master Plan, the competition among inner sect disciples has become fierce in all aspects, and even missions need to be snatched up.
Han Yi looked at the three current tasks again, thought about it, and chose the third task.
The main reason is that Luofeng Commandery South Huai City is very close to Tong City. Just before, He Fangwei gave him an invitation to the auction, saying that there might be top-grade daggers for auction at the auction.
Originally, he was still hesitating and didn't want to go. Now, he happened to have a mission and had already gone there, so he just wanted to take a trip.
As for the Gu Clan's mission, Han Yi can also understand it. It may be that Gu Clan obtained some mysterious elixir formulas, but was unable to refine them himself, so he secretly asked Mystic Pill Sect alchemist for fear that the elixir formulas would spread.
If the prediction is correct, after Han Yi arrives, Gu Clan will first ask him to swear by his Daoist heart to keep the recipe secret and not to leak it.
For Han Yi, if the task he takes is not suitable, he will refuse it and go to Tong City to participate in an auction. If he can buy it, he will buy it.
It doesn't take more than two months to come and go.
Luofeng Commandery, one of Thirteen Commanderies of Shu Province, is just ordinary in terms of area and strength.
Tong City belongs to the big city in Luofeng Commandery, and can be ranked among the top five in the entire Luofeng Commandery.
South Huai City and Daofu City are both ordinary fairy cities, not far apart.
Hearing South Huai City, Han Yi thought of Daofu City, the death of Luo Yunzhou, and the light door leading to the mysterious place in the spiritual field of the Luo Clan.
The key to the light door, and the black plaque with the words "Sui" and "Zhu" engraved on it, are still placed somewhere in a secret place in the Azure Dragon Peak courtyard.
Han Yi accepted the mission and went straight to White Tiger Peak without any preparation. There was no market on Azure Dragon Peak, and White Tiger Peak is the closest to Azure Dragon Peak, and there is also a city. Han Yi rented a flying boat to Luofeng Commandery in White Tiger Market.
Of course, just like before when he went to Daofu City with Luo Yunzhou, he did not rent it separately, but just along the way.
Three days later, the flying boat landed at Flying Cloud City in Luofeng Commandery. This fairy city was also one of the big cities in Luofeng Commandery, no smaller than Tong City.
Han Yi From Flying Cloud City, it took another four days to arrive at South Huai City.
South Huai City, Gu Clan.
Han Yi showed his identity and walked into the Gu Clan.
Gu Clan is one of the three foundation-building immortal cultivation families of South Huai City. Gu Clan Foundation Establishment monk, Gu Zhijing, has become Gu Wen elder of the Mystic Pill Sect last year. Only in this way can he have the right to issue tasks in the sect.
Of course, the one who received Han Yi could not be Gu Clan Dinghai Shenzhen Gu Zhijing, but Gu Clan, the contemporary head of the family, Gu Tongxuan,
Gu Tongxuan is the strongest person besides Gu Zhijing, Gu Clan has peak Qi training, and he does not look old. If Foundation Establishment Pill is there, the probability of building a foundation should be high.
"Mystic Pill Sect, disciple of Azure Dragon Peak, Han Yi, has met the head of the Gu Clan family." Han Yi reported himself to the family.
With an elegant and gentle smile on his face, Gu Tongxuan expressed his great honor to Han Yi to come to the Gu Clan and welcomed Han Yi into his home.
After both parties sat down, Han Yi first asked in confusion, "Is Elder Gu at the Gu Clan at the moment?"
The Elder Gu mentioned by Han Yi is naturally the elder Gu Wen of the Mystic Pill Sect, Gu Zhijing.
Gu Tongxuan shook his head. "My father has something to do and he is not here South Huai City. The matter of refining the alchemy has been given full authority to me. Fellow Daoist Han can rest assured."
Han Yi nodded, and then, not wanting to waste any more time, he said straight to the point, "Well, Lord Gu Clan, if you have any need for alchemy, just tell me directly."
Gu Tongxuan was not surprised to see Han Yi being so direct.
Before taking out the elixir recipe, as expected, Gu Tongxuan asked Han Yi to swear with his Daoist heart not to reveal the secret of the Gu Clan's elixir recipe, and Han Yi agreed.
Next.
Gu Tongxuan solemnly took out a prescription and pushed it in front of Han Yi: "Fellow Daoist Han, the prescription is here. Look."
Han Yi did not delay and picked up the elixir. The elixir was made of a special material. It should be made of some kind of animal skin. The elixir was filled with small characters. After a quick glance, there were thousands of words in it.
However, Han Yi knew at a glance that this prescription was copied.
Han Yi looked at it carefully, and sure enough, the elixir recipe was nameless, and some of the materials needed to make the elixir were only marked with serial numbers, without the specific names of the medicinal materials.
Han Yi had a flash of doubt and asked about it.
Gu Tongxuan explained, "What Daoist Han doesn't know is that my grandfather bought this elixir from outside. He even bought the raw materials together. When he bought it, some of them only had serial numbers and did not indicate what kind of medicinal materials they were."
"But this elixir is indeed what I, Gu Clan, need. There is no doubt about this."
Han Yi The doubts are still there, Gu Tongxuan This explanation is too far-fetched.
However, this may involve Gu Clan's secret. Han Yi has no intention of inquiring. He just needs to refine the elixir.
Putting aside his doubts, Han Yi looked at the elixir recipe carefully, looked at it three times, and calculated in his mind, Han Yi then determined the details of each alchemy.
This elixir recipe is quite special depending on the refining method.
This is a compound elixir.
The so-called compound elixir is an elixir that requires two or more different elixirs to be taken at the same time to be effective.
On this elixir prescription, it is stated that Yin elixir and Yang elixir need to be refined. Only by taking Yin elixir and Yang elixir together can the effect of this elixir be exerted.
Han Yi had indeed seen the refining method of the compound elixir before, but he had never refined it himself. But looking at the refining method on the elixir, Han Yi calculated that it should not be difficult based on his Alchemy level.
"It is not difficult to refine this elixir. However, I cannot guarantee that it can be successfully refined in one go. If it fails, it would not be a surprise. Master Gu Clan needs to think carefully."
Han Yi doesn't want to take over everything, but the risks that should be mentioned must still be made clear.
Gu Tongxuan did not hesitate, but looked overjoyed. Judging from Han Yi's expression just now, he should be very confident. In order to successfully refine this elixir, he would accept it no matter how much waste it was.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Han is indeed a master disciple of the Mystic Pill Sect, so that will help you."
Han Yi frowned. He always felt that Gu Tongxuan's attitude was too refreshing.
After thinking for a while, he asked Gu Clan how many raw materials were included in this recipe, and the answer from Gu Tongxuan was ten.
Han Yi then added another condition, "Master Gu Clan, let's do this. If I fail to refine it for five furnaces, then the transaction will be interrupted. I will be considered a failure in this mission, how about it?"
"As for the five extra materials, you can find someone else, or re-issue the task at the Mystic Pill Sect."
He has set a threshold to prevent the two sides from quarreling. Although he is not afraid of quarrels, it is still a waste of time.
Gu Tongxuan also did not hesitate at all this time and nodded boldly. "Okay, I will follow fellow Daoist Yihan."
Han Yi just thought that this was his character and didn't think anything of it.
Next, Gu Tongxuan arranged an independent courtyard in the backyard of the Gu Clan for Han Yi so that he could quietly concentrate on refining elixirs without being disturbed.
At the same time, five copies of the materials for refining this compound elixir were transported to the courtyard.
Han Yi did not make the elixir immediately, but spent a day adjusting his breath. The next day, after setting up a simple defensive formation in the courtyard, he told Gu Tongxuan that no one could disturb him without his permission, and then he started to make the elixir.
He took out an octagonal golden alchemy furnace from his storage bag and placed it in the middle of the room.
Next, there are the regular pre-steps for alchemy, such as spiritual charcoal, Spirit Sand, Spirit Stone, adjusting elixir fire, etc.
After completing the preparatory steps, Han Yi took in the raw materials for alchemy.
To refine this elixir, you need to refine Yang Dan and Yin Dan. Han Yi refines Yang Dan first. The main material of Yang Dan is a spiritual plant called Blazing Soul Grass. There are dozens of auxiliary materials. Only one is marked with a symbol, which is a bottle of black potion.
Han Yi When he opened the bottle cap, wrapped the potion with mana and poured it into the alchemy furnace, for some reason, he seemed to hear the scream of a baby. His hands shook and he almost spilled the potion.
However, if you listen carefully, you won't see any abnormalities.
With his current state and character, hearing hallucinations is absolutely impossible.
Then, the problem must lie in the black potion marked with a symbol.
This thing is a bit evil.
Han Yi felt a slight chill in his heart, but he did not stop and continued refining.
After a while, the alchemy furnace shook, and a black smoke suddenly emerged from the top of the alchemy furnace.
Han Yi paused with his hands, slowly retracted his hands, and then packed the waste elixirs in the elixir furnace into a spirit bag and placed them on one side.
After adjusting your breath a little, continue to refine the elixir.
The second time, Han Yi also heard the scream like a baby. This time, he was mentally prepared and his hands did not shake. However, his brows furrowed deeply.
After a while.
The alchemy furnace shook again, and black smoke billowed. Han Yi blew it away with a flick of his sleeves.
His expression became extremely solemn.
This material is wrong, there is definitely something wrong with it. Although he has never seen this material, he has read in the elixir book about the elixir refined from this material. It has a general name, evil elixir.
The so-called evil elixir is an elixir refined from the body and soul of living or dead people as the main material or auxiliary materials.
This kind of elixir is harmful to Tianhe. After it is successfully refined, Formlessness secretly weakens the luck of the alchemist. Only a few desperate alchemists can refine it.
But now, Han Yi suspected that the elixir he was refining was an evil elixir.
He took a photo of the third Yang Dan material, and a pale golden light appeared in his eyes. Then, with a flick of his finger, a strong wind blew, and the bottle cap was opened.
The moment it was opened, Han Yi saw countless bubbles emerging from the rich black potion. These bubbles would never be visible if seen with the naked eye, but under Aura Observation Technique, they would definitely appear.
And among these bubbles, babies shrunk to the extreme emerged one by one, making shrill screams.
Then, there seemed to be a mysterious and irresistible force in the black potion, pulling all the bubbles back into the black potion without making any sound.
When he saw what was in the bubbles, Han Yi shook his hand and threw the black potion directly. After the black potion fell to the ground, it made a sizzling sound that corroded the ground. The baby's screams reappeared and disappeared in an instant. There was only an empty bottle and a puddle of black water on the ground.
At this time, Han Yi's face was no longer solemn, but ugly.
"It is indeed a refined evil elixir."
"Damn it."
Han Yi stood up, then slowly sat down.
"How dare you, Gu Clan how dare you?"
"Refining the evil elixir is a capital crime even for Great Qian Immortal Code. Isn't he afraid of being discovered?"
"Moreover, you dare to issue a mission at the Mystic Pill Sect. If Mystic Pill Sect's disciples are injured here, it will definitely trigger Mystic Pill Sect's investigation. This is not so easy to cover up. Once exposed, it will be the end of death."
Han Yi Take a deep breath.
Then, he took in all the other raw materials and looked at them one by one.
Among the raw materials for refining Yang Dan, the main material has no problem, while the auxiliary material is only the black bottle marked with the number.
But in the refining of Yin Dan, even the main materials were marked with numbers. Han Yi checked the main materials, and it was no longer ugly, but he was angry, because in the refining of Yin Dan, there are nine main materials and auxiliary materials, which are taken from the body or soul of living people.
It was no longer a question of whether Han Yi could be refined, but how he could report Gu Clan.
That's right.
He was not overwhelmed by anger. Gu Clan had monk Foundation Establishment, and although he was promoted to Qi Refining Layer 9, he had never fought with monk Foundation Establishment, so he naturally needed to be more cautious.
For him, if you can avoid it, you still have to avoid it. If it is really unavoidable, he is not afraid.
After I left, these raw materials and this prescription were the evidence.
As long as it is handed over to the sect or directly to Great Qian, Gu Clan will have no chance of survival.
Han Yi took out a new spare storage bag, put the two previously refined elixirs into spirit bags, and then put them into the new spare storage bag. Then he put the other three parts of Yang Dan materials and the five parts of Yin Dan raw materials into the spare storage bags.
Finally, put the spare storage bag into the main storage bag and put away the alchemy furnace.
Then he sat cross-legged and began to adjust his breathing with his eyes closed.
He planned to wait until nightfall, then quietly remove the formation, escape from the Gu Clan, and then anonymously report it to the Great Qian official.
However, just when he closed his eyes, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Fellow Daoist Han, Friend Daoist Han?"
The voice belonged to Gu Tongxuan. Han Yi frowned deeply when he heard this. Before that, he had told Gu Tongxuan not to disturb him while he was refining alchemy. This was a taboo for alchemists.
Gu Tongxuan has lived for such a long time, there is no way he doesn't even know this.
Therein lies a huge problem.
Han Yi did not speculate on others with the greatest malice. However, after he just discovered that the elixir he was refining was an evil elixir, Gu Tongxuan knocked on the door directly. Even if he said there was no problem, even a fool would not believe it.
Han Yi did not answer, but instead put every bit of his experience after stepping into the Gu Clan aside, and finally condensed into the bold Gu Tongxuan.
Generous?
No, it's not bold. After Han Yi raised the risk of refining it to waste, Gu Tongxuan agreed to the risk without even thinking about it. After Han Yi proposed refining five furnaces, if it still failed, it would stop refining. After the task failed, Gu Tongxuan did the same.
Thinking about it now, and then stepping back, when Han Yi saw the pill prescription, he already had many questions.
Marking with numbers is obviously to prevent people from knowing the names of the materials. This is very thought-provoking. These are all flaws.
Han Yi sighed lightly, he was still a little careless.
But he is not a prophet, and as his strength has increased to Qi Refining Layer 9, and monks below Foundation Establishment, he is not afraid of monks. He is not as cautious as before, and his perspective of consideration is naturally different.
In the past, Han Yi required careful deliberation and repeated verification, but now, he only has one standard, which can deal with any crisis below Foundation Establishment.
After thinking about this clearly, Han Yi was no longer silent. He walked out of Meditation Chamber, pushed open the door to the courtyard, and walked out, only to see that Gu Tongxuan had already withdrawn more than twenty meters. Beside him, stood two Gu Clan clan elders. These two clan elders were also in the realm of Qi Refining Peak, and they exuded a sense of power.
Han Yi raised his head and looked around, his eyes flashed with light golden light, but his heart sank slightly.
"Formation."
Gu Clan In the backyard, formations have been set up around the independent courtyard. This purpose is already obvious.
"Gu Clan Lord, what does this mean?"
"I have just finished adjusting my breath, and I am about to take out the elixirs to make elixirs. If your interruption disturbs my mind, disrupts my elixir refining steps, and makes useless elixirs, I will be responsible Bu Gui."
Han Yi's face darkened, anger emerged on his face, and he even shouted angrily.
Gu Tongxuan responded with a chuckle, "Fellow Daoist Han, why do you say that deliberately? Everything you do in the courtyard is already in my eyes."
Gu Tongxuan flipped it over in his hand, and a copper-colored mirror appeared. In the mirror, there were images of everything Han Yi had just done in the courtyard.
Han Yi's heart sank. It seemed that Gu Clan had been prepared for this. This matter could not be solved.
