Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao was indeed a wealthy man, and he generously ordered a table full of dishes, almost all of Goryeo's specialties.

If the shopkeeper had not seen these three women and one man dressed in Chinese clothes, he would probably have worried whether they could afford the bill.

Soon, exquisite dishes were served one after another. The four of them sat together and enjoyed this sumptuous supper. The sizzling roast meat exuded a rich aroma; the glutinous rice chicken was tender and juicy, with a smooth texture; the spicy cabbage was sour and spicy, very appetizing; the lamb was sweet and soft, melting in the mouth; the cold noodles were cool and smooth, leaving people with endless aftertaste...

Ling Zhao ate with gusto, her face was filled with a satisfied smile. At this moment, she forgot her identity and responsibilities as the emperor, and enjoyed the happiness brought by the food. The other three were also immersed in this pleasant atmosphere, tasting the delicious food while chatting and laughing.

On this beautiful night, the four of them shared the warmth and joy together, and their happiness became even greater with the company of delicious food.

After having supper, I found an inn to stay in.

The next morning, when the sky in the east was just beginning to turn pale, the four of them rented a spacious and comfortable carriage and galloped towards the Zhaoge Palace that stood majestically on Mount Beiyue.

Outside the car window, on the bustling street, many people of different shapes and unique temperaments were walking around.

It must be because of the upcoming Wumeng Conference that so many martial arts sects from all over China who opposed the Qing Dynasty or were suppressed by the Qing government sent representatives to participate. Perhaps at this event, they can also meet some old friends they have known for a long time!

Since arriving in Incheon, Wei Xiaobao has heard about the Martial Arts Alliance Conference from the local prefect Jin.

However, now that he has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, he is naturally no longer as concerned about this martial arts event as before.

As for who will eventually become the leader of the martial arts world, he had no intention of asking. After all, these things had little to do with him.

As the carriage continued to move forward, we finally arrived at the foot of Mount Beiyue.

Unexpectedly, there was a checkpoint on the road ahead and a group of fully armed soldiers blocked their way.

A sergeant in the lead came forward and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Zhaoge Hall has stopped accepting pilgrims to burn incense because of the coronation ceremony of the new king. If you are here on official business, please show your relevant badge!" His expression was serious and his eyes were sharp, making people dare not neglect him in the slightest.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, young soldiers. I am from the Tiandihui and I am here to participate in the Martial Alliance Conference. This is my badge. Please give me some convenience." After Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took out two gold leaves and handed them over.

The sergeant stretched out his hand to take it, but after just a quick glance, he was so shocked that his mouth could not close. The sergeant next to him thought something had happened and rushed forward with a knife, but was shouted back by the sergeant who had come to his senses.

It should be noted that one gold leaf is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver, and Wei Xiaobao never carries small amounts of silver, either silver notes, gold leaves or gold ingots. As for silver notes, they must be issued by local silver shops to be effective, but Wei Xiaobao did not have them, so the smallest denomination of money he had was the gold leaf.

This soldier's sergeant only received a salary of five taels of silver a month, but this young master actually gave him gold leaves equivalent to two thousand taels of silver all at once. Not to mention letting him go, he would probably not dare to accept the offer even if he was asked to kill someone.

"Young master, please come this way. Do you need me to escort you to Zhaoge Palace?" the sergeant said respectfully.

It really is true that money makes the world go round!

Having a soldier leading the way can indeed save a lot of trouble. Wei Xiaobao reacted quickly and immediately replied: "Then I'll trouble you, little general!"

There were actually many checkpoints along the way from the foot of Beiyue Mountain to Zhaoge Temple on the top of the mountain. However, this sergeant seemed to have a very good relationship with people, and everyone at each checkpoint was quite familiar with him. With just a simple greeting, he successfully led Wei Xiaobao and the other four directly to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the entire Beiyue Mountain is busy. Some people are busy laying carpets, some are carefully planting flowers, some are diligently cleaning the pool, and some are carefully cleaning the building... People come and go, everyone is extremely busy, as if there is no time to rest.

In this noisy atmosphere, only Wei Xiaobao and the other four seemed particularly idle, in sharp contrast to the busy surroundings, and even seemed a little out of place. However, fortunately, no one came to question them.

At this time, the sergeant had already introduced himself. It turned out that his name was Zhang Sanzhu, he was only 19 years old, and was affiliated with the City Defense Battalion. He was sent here to perform a guard mission.

Zhang Sanzhu was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of a guide, leading Wei Xiaobao and the other three around the Zhaoge Hall.

Places with thousands of years of heritage usually have unusual features, such as the well of Sanjing Temple, the Yanjia Well, which is rich in water spirit and dragon spirit. I just don't know if there is anything special about Zhaoge Hall.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao released his spiritual sense and began to search in Zhaoge Hall.

The Zhaoge Hall is very large, covering an area of ​​about 100,000 square meters. It has numerous pavilions and courtyards, and many rooms enshrine various Taoist gods.

In an inconspicuous hall, Taishang Laojun is enshrined on the shrine. An old man with snow-white hair, beard and eyebrows is refining elixir.

Wei Xiaobao was curious and couldn't help but walk into the Laojun Temple to observe.

The old man closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a state of selflessness. In front of him were various rare herbs and minerals, which were the raw materials for alchemy. He carefully put each material into the alchemy furnace according to a specific proportion, and then lit the fire.

As time went on, strange lights and sounds began to emit from the alchemy furnace, the temperature inside the furnace gradually increased, and the herbs and minerals began to fuse and react under the high temperature.

The old man observed the changes in the furnace intently, constantly adjusting the temperature and intensity of the fire to ensure the smooth progress of the alchemy process.

An hour passed, and the old man remained focused and patient, not missing any details. He used his years of experience and skills to feel the breath and changes of the elixir.

Finally, a rich aroma emanated from the alchemy furnace, and the elixir was ready. The old man carefully took out the elixir, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

This pill is crystal clear, shiny and round, emitting a faint light.

"Qi Refining Pill!" Wei Xiaobao cried out.

He recognized it at a glance. It was a Qi Refining Pill. There were more than ten Qi Refining Pills preserved in his system space. These Qi Refining Pills were refined by Xu Fu two thousand years ago. Wei Xiaobao had been reluctant to use them, and planned to save them for his other five wives and children when they first started to refine Qi.
