Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Yanji, Beichang Prefecture.

Cao Xun was wearing a green suit with an autumn picture of butterflies embroidered on it. He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the rockery in the pool outside. It is covered with frost color, from top to bottom, with a touch of light, like a beauty wearing light makeup, and there is no lack of dust in the beauty.

"Sir." At this moment, a maid came in from outside, gathered her skirt and saluted, and said, "Miss Dai is here."

When Cao Xun heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said loudly: "Come in."

The next moment, there was a soft sound outside the door. It was like a late drizzle hitting the lotus leaves. The round and clear drops turned back and forth. There was an indescribable poetic beauty. Dai Shuang'e walked in. She was wearing a palace dress and her appearance was beautiful. She is beautiful, her hair is pulled up with a hairpin, and it is embroidered with the picture of Qingchuan Qianli. Under the precious light, her skin is like jade, flawless.

"Senior Brother Cao."

Dai Shuang'e stepped forward and saluted slightly. Her voice was extremely soft and beautiful.

"Junior Sister Dai."

Cao Xun was already at the third level of alchemy, but he was quite polite to those who came up to him.

Because it is already very difficult for him to move up, but the girl in front of him not only has a background, but also has good qualifications. In the future, by chance, she will be able to reach the top.

In Zhenyi Sect, once you can become a true disciple, the sky will be bright and your future will be bright.

"Senior Brother Cao." Dai Shuang'e smiled. She pressed the hem of her skirt slightly with her hand and said, "Little sister Cao has already obtained Tianyun Brocade and Bu Xin. Next, we need to collect the Chongyuan Marrow. Senior Brother will still need to worry about it."

In the Yanji area, Zhenyi Sect has been operating for many years, and Cao Xun can be called the local leader. According to the rules of the sect, he must go all out to help the disciples who come to collect the elixir-condensing medicine. It's just that regulations are regulations, and people's hearts are people's hearts. There is a lot of discretion in this.

What she wants is to be sincere and wholehearted, not just to work but not to contribute, or to focus on one participation.

Moreover, as far as Dai Shuang'e knew, none of the people from the sect who came to Yanji recently to collect elixir-condensing foreign medicines were as good as him in terms of background, talent, or prospects in the sect.

In such a situation, I must strive for maximum support and do my part!

Cao Xun looked at the other party's beautiful eyes that looked watery but were clear inside. He pondered for a moment, nodded, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, at this time, a buzzing sound came from the bronze mirror hanging in the center of the attic, which kept vibrating.

The bronze mirror in the pavilion doesn't look big, not even three feet high, but for some reason, when it sounds, when you look at the mirror, there is an indescribable fullness overflowing, and endless clear light pours into your eyes. eye.

When Cao Xun saw the strange phenomenon in the bronze mirror, he was startled and immediately realized it. He walked quickly to it and touched it gently with his hand.

There is only one reason why the bronze mirror has changed like this, and that is that a true disciple has arrived in the sect and has already arrived outside.

"True disciple."

Cao Xun thought about the news that came from the sect some time ago, his thoughts turned, he made speculations, and his expression became serious.

As for those two, no matter which one arrives, I can't neglect it!

"True disciple."

Dai Shuang'e took a look and understood the changes. Her appearance was uncertain. Although she had a good prospect, the gap between her and the true disciples in the sect was obvious. When the other party comes, you have to stand aside.

As expected, Cao Xun straightened the Taoist crown on his head, turned to Dai Shuang'e, and said, "Junior Sister Dai, please wait here while I go to see which of my fellow disciples has arrived."

"Senior Brother Cao, let's go together."

Dai Shuang'e's expression changed several times and returned to calm. She walked a few steps to catch up with Cao Xun. On the skirt of her skirt, the pattern of lotus leaves swayed with fresh green.

Cao Xun saw from the corner of his eye that his fellow disciple was fine and nodded secretly. This is a smart woman who knows the importance and knows how to advance and retreat. Otherwise, she will suffer a loss.

"Okay, let's go together."

After the two of them went out, not long after, they saw the true disciples of the sect arriving on the stone bridge over the water. He was dressed in robes and had quiet eyes. The true energy on the top of the door was like gold, gathered together, and the sky light reflected inside. Silent and silent.

""Spiritual Gold Book".

When Cao Xun took a look, his eyes were full of brilliant gold, containing sharpness, and he immediately recognized its origin. It was one of the Five Qi and Four Methods of the sect.

However, as far as he knew, the two new true disciples who came out of the sect this time seemed to be practicing the "Golden Book of Spiritual Life".

Is the person in front of me Wuzhong or Zhou Qing?

But at this time, Dai Shuang'e recognized Jing Jing. She observed his words and whispered in front of Cao Xun: "The person coming is the owner of Taihe Island."

Her voice was as small as a mosquito, but just enough for Cao Xun to hear.

Cao Xun gave Dai Shuang'e a grateful look, then strode forward, said hello, "I've met Island Master Zhou."

"It's Senior Brother Cao." The person who came was naturally Zhou Qing. When he saw the other person, he thought of the information about Yan Jifang he had obtained before leaving the clan. His impression overlapped with the person in front of him and became clear, and he said: "Zhou Qing , I’ve met senior brother.”

"Senior Brother Zhou."

Dai Shuang'e also took the opportunity to step forward and salute her. She had the Dai family behind her. Although she was far inferior to a big family like the Luochuan Zhou family, she was more confident than Cao Xun.

After the three briefly exchanged greetings, Cao Xun led them back to the treasure pavilion.

After Zhou Qing sat down, he saw a crane chirping outside, and a big crane flew by with its white wings like wheels, slowly unfolding. He looked at it for a while, looked back at Cao Xun, and said straight to the point: "Senior Brother Cao, I I came to Yanji to collect Tianyun Brocade, Gangluo Gold, Buxincao and Chongyuan Marrow."

His tone sounded calm, but there was a certain determination and unstoppability in him.

When Cao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but sit up slightly. He was well-informed and could tell at a glance that the new disciple of the sect in front of him looked gentle, but he was also unquestionably strong in his heart.

If you and others do bad things, the consequences will be disastrous.

With this judgment, Cao Xun looked solemn and said: "Where are these four kinds of elixir-condensing foreign medicines in Yanji, how to prepare the medicine-taking tools, etc. We are all prepared, and we will never delay your important event, Island Master Zhou. ”

Seeing Zhou Qing listening carefully, Cao Xun paused and continued to speak, saying: "In front of us, there will be a group of long eagles migrating over. If Island Master Zhou wants to take them, he can prepare them now."

"Taki Taka."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows. The Chongyuan Marrow, one of the four external medicines needed to condense the elixir, was extracted from Long Ying's body.

Seeing Zhou Qing's move, Cao Xun spoke again: "The hundred-yin needle required to extract the heavy essence essence has been refined by the sect's weapon refiner. Island Master Zhou can use it as long as he personally sacrifices it."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he made a decision immediately, saying: "Get the Baiyin Needle first."

"Hold on."

Cao Xun also acted vigorously and resolutely. He stood up, walked to the door, and told the boy serving him to let him out.

After a while, footsteps sounded again, and the boy came in holding a jade plate covered with satin and stood on one side.

Cao Xun stood up, raised his hand, and lifted up the silk satin on it. He saw a pure white silver-shaped magic weapon placed in the jade plate. It was two feet long and had a thin and smooth tube shape. On the surface, there were fine incantations. Densely clothed syringe. Just by looking at it, it seems to have an indescribable attraction that draws people's eyes inside.

This is Baiyin Needle, which is specially used to extract the bone marrow essence from Longying. It seems to have a very single function, but it is not easy to refine at all.

On the one hand, there are many materials required to refine the Hundred-Yin Needle, which are difficult to gather together. On the other hand, refining is quite difficult, and if it is not suitable, it may affect the finished grade of the refined Baiyin Needle.

The bone marrow essence extracted from Taki Ying's body also has a distinction between superior and inferior. If the Baiyin needle is of high grade, the extracted bone marrow essence will be of high quality, and vice versa.

Therefore, Baiyinzhen is very important.

If he were not a true disciple of Zhenyi Sect and only found such a hundred-yining needle, he would probably have to put in a lot of effort.

Zhou Qing changed his mind, picked up the Baiyin Needle, and looked at the thin jade silk pressed under the needle, which had the ritual method of Baiyin Needle written on it.

With just one glance, Zhou Qing could tell that the sacrifice of the Baiyin Needle took a lot of effort.

Cao Xun saw this and said in a tentative tone: "Island Master Zhou, prepare a quiet room for you. Will you sacrifice and refine the Baiyin Needle first?"

"Everything is at the discretion of Senior Brother Cao."

Zhou Qing agreed and came to a quiet room with Cao Xun personally leading the way.

Pushing the door open, the interior is very open, but only a wooden couch is simply arranged. There is a jade table in front of the wooden couch, a bronze vase is placed on the table, there is a jade box under the bottle, and in front of the jade box is a jade Ruyi.

The fluttering flowers hang down from the mouth of the bottle, like begonias blooming for the first time, the rain is clearing, and there is a delicate and elegant fragrance that permeates everywhere.

In addition, there are spotless jade bricks on the ground, engraved with large and small seal scripts, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and endless power pours into them, echoing in the room, lasting for a long time.

Dai Shuang'e, who was following behind, watched secretly, and her beautiful eyes condensed. The mysterious arrangement of the Beidou Vientiane Array on the ground was much better than the place where she lived.

In the sect, the treatment of inner disciples and true disciples is really very different.

She couldn't help but clenched her fists secretly, and had stronger thoughts about the true disciples.

Zhou Qing was also very satisfied. After sending Cao Xun and Dai Shuang'e away, he first opened the incense boxes on the table and diffused the pure fragrance. Then he sat down on the cloud couch, took out the jade silk, and carefully read the sacrificial refining method on it.

The Baiyin Needle is different from ordinary magic weapons. It has been used by different weapon refiners, and there are minor differences in the sacrificial refining methods. If you want to pursue perfection, you need to be cautious.

"In this case,"

After Zhou Qing read it, he had an idea in his mind, and then he used his hand to bring the Baiyin Needle to the front of him, and then continued to strike out the spell with both hands like lightning. The true energy surged out, entered the Baiyin Needle, and penetrated bit by bit.

Among the six external medicines for condensing elixirs, apart from Jingming Glazed Jade, which is naturally pure and does not contaminate residual Qi, the other five external medicines for condensing elixirs are best handled by yourself. In this case, the best results will be achieved.

Therefore, in order to collect the heavy essence marrow, the process from sacrificing and refining the magic weapon to collecting it must be done by Zhou Qing himself, and cannot be done by others.

A full day later, Zhou Qing's Qi disappeared. He opened his eyes and watched the Baiyin needle flying in front of him like a butterfly piercing a flower, bringing up a series of silvery white colors that were invisible to the naked eye and crackling.

"Hundred-Year Needle."

Zhou Qing used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with this magical artifact, and light flowed in his eyes. It took a day to refine this magical artifact, but it could only last for a month. After a month, the aura of the Baiyin Needle itself will escape.

Within a month, I have to collect the Chongyuan Marrow.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing put away the Baiyin Needle and walked out of the quiet room. He glanced at the two maids standing at the door and said, "Take me to see Senior Brother Cao."

Cao Xun was surprised when he saw Zhou Qing and asked: "Island Master Zhou, have you completed the sacrifice?"

There are different grades of Baiyin Needle, and the difficulty of the ritual is also different. There is no doubt that the Baiyin Needle he gave Zhou Qing was of the highest grade. According to his inference, it would take at least three days to complete the sacrifice.

But now if I count the time, it’s less than twelve hours.

"The sacrifice has just been completed."

Zhou Qing's thoughts changed, and the Baiyin Needle emerged from the golden light at the top of his head and swam back and forth.

Cao Xun took a deep look at Zhou Qing, and became more and more aware of the power of the new true disciple in front of him. He didn't say any more, but took out a jade slip he had prepared earlier from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "Island Master Zhou, this is the area where the long eagles we collected appeared. Since you have sacrificed the Baiyin Needle, Once the refining is completed, you can collect the Chongyuan Essence.”

Zhou Qing took it and stretched his consciousness inside. It was recorded on the jade slip that Longying would appear in three areas of Yanji, with detailed markings on it.

"It's Lingxing Peak."

Among the three areas, the Lingxing Peak area is the largest, with the most migrating eagles, and the King Eagle appears at every turn. Going to Lingxing Peak is not only the fastest way to collect the Heavy Essence, but it is also more effective when you meet the Eagle Queen.

Cao Xun was not surprised by Zhou Qing's choice. He just reminded him, "Since most of the true disciples of the major Shangxuan Sect choose to go to Lingxing Peak, there will be a certain amount of competition. Moreover, there are the most Long Yings on Lingxing Peak." , they line up in groups and are extremely fierce. If you are not careful, you will not be able to catch the eagle and you will be easily injured. "

What he said was golden and good advice. The long eagles on Lingxing Peak were led by the Eagle King. They were groups of extremely ferocious eagles. Even the true disciples of Shangxuanmen will be attacked and injured if they are not careful or have bad luck.

As a ferocious bird that can extract the essence of elixir-condensing external medicine, Longying is not simple at all. If it is injured by their sharp claws, even if it takes the elixir, it will have to be raised for a period of time.

In that case, a lot of things would be delayed.

As for competing with other true disciples of Xuanmen, it is also essential. Anyway, it's all normal competition on the surface. Whoever has the ability will receive the greatest benefits. Whether there will be cause and effect depends on the individual's character.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Cao, for reminding me."

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that he had learned about it.

Seeing Zhou Qing's confidence, Cao Xun said no more, just smiled and said: "Then I wish Island Master Zhou a successful start in advance, and success will be achieved soon."

"Then I'll take my blessings from my senior brother."

Zhou Qing gave a long laugh, waved his big sleeves, cast a golden light, stood up from the ground, left the Zhenyi Sect station, and flew to Lingxing Peak.
