Start from the old nine gates

Chapter 14 The Return
Then put it away.

After walking around the tomb for a while, feeling that the cold atmosphere in the tomb was becoming less and less, Chen Yuan gave Xu Hao instructions.

Let him lead his men to pick up some light things first, and then take the rest slowly.

After the order was almost finished, Chen Yuan turned around and said to Liu Ye beside him.

"Master Liu, let's go out first, let these men get these things."

"Alright."

After the two of them walked out of the tomb, Master Liu, who held back his breath, saw that there was no one around, and asked, "Young Master Chen, do you still have the elixir that Xu Hao took just now?"

"Sixth Master, you want it too." Chen Yuan smiled lightly.

At the same time, I thought to myself: "The fish is hooked."

"Master Chen, what are you talking about? Anyone who knows about this kind of elixir wouldn't want it." Mr. Liu stared straight at Chen Yuan.

"Sixth Master, this elixir not only has the ability to bring people back to life, but it can also extend people's lives." After saying this, Chen Yuan paused.

"Its value."

Chen Yuan did not say whether there was any, but he just said that this elixir was precious. The implication was that a sufficient price had to be paid, and the greatest value of Master Liu was himself.

As the sixth of the nine gates in Changsha City, Liu Ye's power is naturally a force that should not be underestimated.

Master Liu took a deep breath, and quickly made a decision in his mind, "Young Master Chen has already said this. I am willing to give the Six Gates to Young Master Chen in exchange for the elixir. I don't know if it is possible."

The reason why the sixth master dared to make this decision was because after casually chatting with Xu Hao before, he heard him say that Young Master Chen is an alchemist.

At that time, Mr. Liu scoffed and didn't care. Only after seeing the scene of treating Xu Hao before did he realize that he was sitting in a well watching the sky.

Chen Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately made a promise: "Sixth Master, don't worry, these six gates are still yours, and you can get a copy of all the subsequent pills."

"Thank you very much, Master." Master Liu waved his hand, acknowledging the new master.

Above the canyon, the three subordinates left behind by the leader of Huang were bragging and farting in boredom at this time; while one of Chen Yuan's remaining subordinates was driven aside.

This is what Chen Yuan and Liu Ye saw after they came up.

"Master, you are back." The men sitting in the corner saw Chen Yuan and shouted loudly.

"En." Chen Yuan responded, and then said to Liu Ye beside him: "Liu Ye, please deal with the few people left by Gang Leader Huang."

"I understand, young master." Master Six grinned his yellowed teeth, turned around and walked towards the three people.

After a few screams, Master Liu came back.

After sitting there and waiting for a while, Xu Hao and several others climbed up with a huge package on their backs, with smiles on their faces.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Three days later,
east of the city,

In the basement of a yard,
Chen Yuan was wearing a white coat. On his right hand side was a three-high slanted shelf. An animal was placed in an iron cage on each shelf, and there were four cages on the first floor.

The three layers on the shelf are respectively three kinds of mammals that are similar to humans: rats, pigs, and monkeys.

When I came to the table next to it, there was the jade book I got from the tomb, and the content was written in traditional Chinese characters.

In order to get the content inside, Chen Yuan spent some time to scramble the text, and at the same time asked several people to translate a part of it.

In the end, I found out the contents of this jade book. These are some notes on alchemy left by an alchemist in the Tang Dynasty.

The above content is divided into two parts. The first part records some records of refining elixirs, and the latter part records the five unilateral prescriptions collected by the other party.

These five prescriptions are Qubing Pill, Zhuangyang Pill, Zengshou Pill, Qiling Pill, and Control Heart Pill.

What I had previously obtained from the tomb were seven life-enhancing pills, but these pills had a huge side effect.

Because most of the materials for refining elixirs grow in extremely yin places or in tombs, those who take them will bear the curse of ghosts and gods.

But in Chen Yuan's view, it was not so much a curse as the erosion of Yin Qi.

After Chen Yuan discovered the existence of Yin Qi, he understood that the so-called geomantic treasure land was just a place where Yin gathers.

Whether it is the ghosts that appeared in the Lu Palace or the zombies that appeared in the Pingshan Mountain, they were all formed because of the energy of Yin Qi.

The refining materials for the above pills are all rare, and among them, the Zengshou Pill is the most difficult. To refine the Zengshou Pill, a thousand-year-old spirit is required.

And often these spiritual things usually grow in extremely yin places, and these eight life-enhancing pills are refined from a thousand-year-old elixir that the alchemist has exhausted to find.

The reason there are only seven left is because the other one was used by a nobleman when it was refined.

Although this pill can increase a person's lifespan by 50 years, the person who takes this pill will be eroded by Yin Qi and become a monster with neither human nor ghost.

This is what happened to that gentleman.

This is also why this alchemist did not take the longevity pill he refined until his death, but put it in the tomb and hid it deep in the ground.

However, at this time, Chen Yuan had an idea, what would happen if he injected the energy of the evolution point into the longevity pill.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately took out a life-enhancing pill from the box, and then carefully injected the energy of the evolution point into it.

The Zengshou Pill, which was originally gray and unattractive, suddenly shone with blue light from the elixir, and with the input of evolution points, it quickly turned purple, and finally turned into light gold.

At the moment when Zengshou Pill turned pale gold, an extremely strong impulse filled Chen Yuan's heart.

"Eat it, eat it."

A wisp of fragrance wafted to the tip of his nose, subconsciously sniffed it, and in an instant, Chen Yuan only felt that he had been reborn, as if he had attained Taoism and ascended to immortality.

Suppressing the desire to eat it, he quickly put it back into the sealed box.
