Mortal Mage

Every time Zhang Mingxuan touched the ring, he used his spiritual sense to flip through the "Compendium of Immortal Herbs" in the ring.

The purpose is to figure out how to refine the immortal-grade foundation-building pill.

He found that the quality of elixirs in the Compendium of Immortal Herbs was clearly classified. Elixirs were divided into six grades: ordinary, inferior, medium, superior, top and immortal, and the medicinal strength increased from weak to strong.

Simply put, if it is a pill used to treat external injuries, a low-quality pill can only partially recover the injury, while a fairy-quality pill can completely heal the wound.

In addition, the furnace for alchemy is also crucial. The properties of the furnace determine the medicinal properties of the elixir - gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, heaven, earth, yin, and yang. Each medicinal property corresponds to a specific spiritual root. The closer the medicinal property of the elixir is to the spiritual root of the person taking it, the better the effect.

However, Zhang Mingxuan realized that the book was missing a crucial part of the alchemy process - the finger gestures and techniques for alchemy.

Finger gestures are used to guide the spiritual power of the spiritual roots, while magic gestures are used to stimulate the effects of the spiritual power.

Finger gestures and magic formulas directly determine the degree to which the elixir can be refined, which is also the upper limit of its efficacy.

For example, although a top-grade healing pill has strong medicinal properties and can stop bleeding quickly, it only treats surface injuries. Internal injuries may not be completely healed, and the meridians may even be damaged due to the excessive strength of the medicine.

On the contrary, if it is a second-level or ninth-level healing pill that has been refined many times, even if it is only a second-level low-grade healing pill, although it cannot stop bleeding immediately, it can completely heal the injury because its medicinal effect is more gentle and lasting.

However, the alchemy finger techniques and formulas mentioned in the book are only for basic learning purposes and cannot be applied to actual alchemy.

The real alchemy technology involves the laws of nature and is the alchemist's "unique secret skill".

He gently turned the ring again and flipped through the five basic alchemy finger gestures and techniques that Shi Manman left for him, namely "Alchemy Technique", "Alchemy Tempering Technique", "Alchemy Washing Technique" and "Alchemy Condensing Technique".

Just now he said that the alchemy finger gestures and techniques that he could teach to Ye Die Ye Wu were these.

However, after hearing that Ye Die Ye Wu was the mixed feeling of the five elements, he shook his head and gave up the idea.

Zhang Mingxuan knew that with his useless spiritual roots, it would be difficult for him to master the complex alchemy techniques by relying on his own exploration.

It is even more impossible to refine the immortal-grade foundation-building pill.

But if you don't ask for help from others, the only remaining option is to personally train disciples who can refine the immortal-grade foundation-building pills.

Compared to the immortal-grade foundation-building pill, it would be more reliable to first find the Sixth-Transformation Soul-Returning Pill and the second-level wood-type spiritual root monster skeleton to resurrect Fen Zice.

After all, Guipo Pills can be bought.

But a more advanced Guipo Pill requires more advanced connections.

If we rely on him alone, we will be unable to cope with all the tasks.

While he was thinking secretly, he looked up and found that there was no longer any loneliness or coldness in the eyes of the twin girls. Instead, they were looking at him with admiration and excitement.

"cough cough"

He coughed twice, retracted his wandering thoughts, and interrupted Yedie Yewu's burning gaze; "Is your injury getting better?"

Now we need to let Ye Die and Ye Wu perform the master-disciple ceremony as soon as possible.

Because only after performing the great ceremony between master and disciple will one be subject to the laws of nature, which will have an impact on every step of practice in the future.

"It can temporarily stabilize the sea of ​​qi..."

The sword wound on Ye Die's body had not healed yet, and there were still waves of cuts on her skin.

When the words fell, Ye Die and Ye Wu gritted their teeth and endured the pain while turning over and dismounting, and knelt in front of Zhang Mingxuan with difficulty, raised their cherry-like four-petal jade buttocks, kowtowed to him respectfully, and bowed in unison: "Disciple Ye Die, Disciple Ye Wu, are willing to serve the master with body and soul, obey the master's orders, be loyal to the master, and not violate the oath. The heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can bear witness to this."

The two girls bowed respectfully again and kowtowed in a humble manner. "Master, please accept your disciples' greetings."

After the ceremony, the two women buried their heads in the ground, waiting for Zhang Mingxuan's response.

Zhang Mingxuan's heart was slightly touched.

This was the first time he had formally accepted a disciple, not because he was forced to do so.

Since you are a master, you must act like a master and not be disrespectful.

You must keep yourself clean and never make the same mistake again that happened to Zhou Cheng and Hua Yu.

He slowly bent down, held up Ye Die's left arm with one hand, held Ye Wu's right arm with the other hand, and said gently, "I can't kneel here, just stand and talk from now on." After he finished speaking, Hao Fen came to help him up the two injured girls.

Zhang Mingxuan took out the red fragrance from his waist and stuffed it into Yedie's hand. He took a deep breath and said, "The storage bag belongs to your third master's wife. She doesn't need it anymore. If you have the chance to see her in the future, you must curry favor with her." Then he looked at Haofen and explained Haofen's identity to Yedie and Yewu. "He is not my master's wife. He is my master's demon slave."

He needs to conceal his identity in front of outsiders, but since Ye Die Ye Wu has been accepted as his disciple, he naturally has to make his identity and status clear.

Of course, Haofen’s true strength and identity as a fox demon cannot be revealed for the time being.

Although Ye Die Ye Wu was seriously injured, the moment she received the storage bag from Zhang Mingxuan, her face showed excitement and joy, and her eyes were slightly red. Then she heard Zhang Mingxuan say that the woman in white was his demon slave, and she showed disbelief and incomprehension.

Demon slaves are demon beasts, and demon beasts have breath.

But they didn't even sense the "evil spirit" from Hao Xian.

Then, there is only one possibility, that the master's demon slave has a cultivation level of at least the second level.

Thinking of this, the two girls bowed solemnly to Hao Fen, looked at each other, and then said in unison, "Greetings, Demon Lord."

"Giggle."

Hao Xian smiled charmingly and said, "It's really interesting that you two call me that, but I still like others to call me fairy~"

Ye Die and Ye Wu looked at each other again and nodded to correct them at the same time; "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Haha, great. Since the master has given you gifts, I will also give you something~"

Hao Fen's body softened, and she leaned against Zhang Mingxuan. She raised her delicate double eyelids, thought for a moment, and blew a puff of white mist at the brows of Ye Die and Ye Wu. "This is a charm of mine. If you two encounter any crisis or danger, mobilize your true energy to your brows and shout 'Venerable Fairy is the most beautiful' to activate it. After it is activated, an illusion will confuse everyone within a hundred feet around you for three breaths." Hao Fen raised her slender arm, lifted Ye Die's beautiful chin with her frost-white jade hand, and added word by word, "Within the Jindan stage~"

Upon hearing this, Ye Die was so shocked that his body trembled slightly. He buried his chin, clasped his fists slightly, and whispered, "Disciple thanks the Fairy for bestowing the magical power."

Within the Jindan stage, it is at least a third-level monster.

A disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining has the means to preserve his life against those at the Jindan stage, and can basically walk sideways among his peers.

This is undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity for Ye Die Ye Wu.

Yujin Port has only one long stone street along the edge of the coast, and the most common things on the street are inns and taverns.

Zhang Mingxuan and his party found an inn with relatively less traffic on the outskirts of Chang Street in Yujingang and booked two upper rooms to stay in temporarily.

The official ship of the Song Dynasty's Hidden Guards that Ye Die mentioned would take three days to dock, so they had to stay in this inn for two days.

The dwarf old man is of great use to Zhang Mingxuan. If he receives it into the ring, he will inevitably see the things in his ring. Besides, there are two Jindan stage cultivators, He Yiping and He Yihu, in the ring.

Except for Haofen, no one else can enter his storage ring but cannot exit.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the dwarf old man is to knock him out, gag him, or stuff him into a sack.

Zhang Mingxuan lay on the bed in the guest room, stroking the ring on his finger, while Haofen knelt on his waist and massaged his shoulders and neck.

He probed his spiritual consciousness into the ring and observed He Yiping and He Yihu in the ring.

It takes one month by sea from Yujing Port to the territory of the Song Dynasty, and then another three months by canal to reach Changjiang City, the southern capital of the Song Dynasty.

(PS: Similar to the capital and Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing is the secondary capital, equivalent to the backup capital)

Zhang Mingxuan could see that Ye Die and Ye Wu were seriously injured. Without good healing pills, the bumpy journey would most likely cause the two women to die along the way.

But it is impossible to find any good healing elixirs in this mortal world.

And the only people who have good healing pills are probably He Yiping and He Yihu in his ring.

After all, these two are Jindan-stage cultivators. Even if they are poor, they should have some low-grade healing medicine on them, which must be hundreds of times stronger than his ordinary elixirs.

However, storage magic weapons cannot be stacked.

In other words, the storage bags on He Yiping and He Yihu cannot be opened and checked in his ring space.

It is quite easy to get the storage bags of these two people. Just let Haofen enter the storage ring and charm them, then they can steal the items.

However, the storage bag has advanced restrictions. Even if you get it, it cannot be opened without the mantra command or the owner's breath.
