The Longevity Martial Arts Path: Starting with the Five Elements of Health

Su Changkong nodded knowingly and smiled.

In the Giant Whale Gang, Gong Zheng is an alchemist, and his salary is actually not high, only three or five hundred taels of silver a month.

But the alchemist is the first person to come into contact with the baked medicinal herbs, and there are so many hands and feet that can be done!

Even if you take one or two, it doesn't matter. The Giant Whale Gang is also turning a blind eye to this. Of course, if it is too much, and even the supply of medicinal pills from the Giant Whale Gang cannot be satisfied, then it must be will be investigated and held accountable.

Su Changkong's life suddenly calmed down, and he still practiced martial arts and worked every day just like in the life of Hei Tie Villa.

It's just that the content of the work has been changed from the original forging to alchemy. Su Changkong's forging has reached the level of magic. It is difficult to make great progress in a short period of time.

"It's... a good job."

When night came, Su Changkong looked at a Qi-enhancing pill in his hand, he was quite satisfied, swallowed it in one gulp, and then began to practice Turtle Breathing Technique.

In the Giant Whale Gang, medicinal pills are also very precious items, which cannot be enjoyed by ordinary members. Unless they are elite disciples with a certain status in the gang, they can only get a certain amount of medicinal pills every month. More, then you need to rely on contributions to exchange!

And like Su Changkong, as an alchemist himself, no one would blame him for occasionally ignoring a few, even if he was known by the Giant Whale Gang, he would turn a blind eye!

If the alchemist is satisfied, the alchemist will do all he can to alchemy, otherwise if he fails a few times on purpose, the loss of medicinal materials will be more than the price of a few pills.

This is where alchemists are popular.

"The effect of this Qi-enhancing pill is several times higher than that of the Qi-enhancing pills I took before! Unfortunately, my success rate in refining Qi-enhancing pills is not high, otherwise I can take a few more..."

Feeling the medicinal power of Qi-enhancing Pill, Su Changkong secretly praised.

The Qi-boosting powder that Su Changkong used before was only a medicinal powder, and this Qi-enhancing pill belongs to the category of medicinal pills, and the cost and effect are not the same!

In the blink of an eye, two months passed in a flash.

In the alchemy room of the Yaolu, the fragrance of the medicine is fragrant.

"Not bad! This furnace has made 6 Qi-enhancing pills!"

The pill stove was turned on, and Gong Zheng, who was beside him, was amazed when he looked at the few rounded Qi-enhancing pills in the pill stove that exuded the scent of medicine.

It takes not only luck, but also technology to produce 6 finished Qi-enhancing pills in one batch!

(4 realm consummate blue 7%)

Su Changkong's face was also full of smiles. His alchemy skills had already moved to a new level in just one or two months. He had already reached the 4th realm, and he could basically make ends meet by refining Qi-enhancing pills.

Of course, there is a reason for Su Changkong's talent and amazing potential, but Gong Zheng's unreserved guidance is also indispensable.

Gong Zheng exclaimed: "Zhang Kong, your talent in alchemy is too amazing... I guess it won't be long before you can surpass me!"

"Master Gong is very praised. It will take at least ten years for me to catch up with Master Gong's alchemy technique." Su Changkong flattered very modestly. Years, two years should be enough!

"You don't need to be humble with me... I've already told the above that your alchemy skills are enough to stand on your own." Gong Zheng was a little amused, and then he said with a straight face, "It is estimated that I will leave the Giant Whale Gang at the beginning of next month. Now, if you take up the position of the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang in the future, just make alchemy well and ignore some unimportant things in the gang."

Su Changkong was slightly stunned. For the past two months, Su Changkong has been studying alchemy with Gong Zheng, and has hardly had much contact with the rest of the Giant Whale Gang, but from Gong Zheng, he still learned some of the situation within the Giant Whale Gang. .

The Giant Whale Gang is not like a monolithic outside world.

Within the Giant Whale Gang, there are several factions. Among them, the faction of the gang leader is naturally dominated by Sikong Yong, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang whose reputation has shaken the city of Molin Mansion. However, according to Gong Zheng, Sikong Yong has been in seclusion for many years, and it has been at least five years. The time has not been seen in the Giant Whale Gang, and the big and small matters are generally left to their children, Sikong Zhan and Sikong Huang are two brothers and sisters to handle, they are both intelligent and brave, but they are still young, and they can't hold back Meng Sang, the deputy gang leader. headed faction.

This Meng Sang is very ambitious. Originally, Sikong Yong was still obedient when he was there, but Sikong Yong did not show up for nearly five years in retreat, which made Meng Sang a little eager to move, and the Giant Whale Gang also set up the four halls of wind, fire and thunder. , all of them are watching.

Not only that, but the Blue Rain Sea route occupied by the Giant Whale Gang has also recently had pirates eager to get a piece of the action!

There were quite a few problems inside and outside the Giant Whale Gang, and Gong Zheng was warning Su Changkong not to get involved.

Su Changkong smiled: "I'm just an alchemist. They are fighting for power and profit. It's none of my business to fight to death."

"Yes." Gong Zheng nodded slightly. As an alchemist, he had a very special position in the Giant Whale Gang. No matter who gained the upper hand, it had nothing to do with them.

For the common people, does it make any difference who is the emperor?

"Master Gong, are you leaving?" And Su Changkong couldn't help but said, in the past two months, Gong Zheng instructed him to make alchemy and taught him all the money. Although one of the reasons was for himself, Su Changkong still didn't care. He was grateful.

Su Changkong has made rapid progress, and Gong Zheng has nothing to teach. He has already applied to the Giant Whale Gang and will leave next month. Su Changkong is a little reluctant to give up.

"Of course I have to leave, the old man has no descendants! I have been tired for most of my life, so I have to take a few concubines and enjoy it, right?"

Gong Zheng blew his beard and stared.

Su Changkong was amused, this Gong Zheng was in his fifties or sixties, he was not old at heart, and was not respected for the old, but the sadness of parting was also diluted by this.

"Zhangkong, you are still very young... In short, take care of yourself in the future."

Gong Zheng hesitated, patted Su Changkong on the shoulder.

Su Changkong probably understood what Gong Zheng meant.

Gong Zheng served as the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang. Of course, he had an extraordinary position and gained a lot of benefits. The price for this was that he spent his youth and even his youth in the alchemy room of the Giant Whale Gang. Yes, when I look back, I'm already old, and I haven't seen or enjoyed many things in this world.

Gong Zheng felt that Su Changkong was very much like himself when he was young. He couldn't say anything about regret, but he was a little disappointed. He felt that when Su Changkong took over his class, he might be like him and let himself be here day after day for most of his life. spent.

But Gong Zheng didn't know that the giant whale gang was just a stop in his life for Su Changkong. Helping the giant whale to make pills and strengthen himself, that's all!

In the evening, in the secluded house where Su Changkong lived, he swallowed a pale red pill and practiced the Five Animals Show. The movements were illusory, and there was a sense of beauty in the play of birds and beasts.

Wuqinxi (8% of the 8 borders)

Turtle Breathing Skill (27% in 7 realms)

In the two months since he came to the Giant Whale Gang, Su Changkong has gained a lot. Wuqinxi has reached the 8th stage, and it is very difficult to progress at all. This is the reason why he takes the body training pill. Su Changkong feels that Wuqinxi can be practiced to this level. It is already rare, and some changes may be required to produce qualitative changes in a short period of time!

The Turtle Breathing Technique progressed relatively quickly, and there was considerable progress in just two months.

The main reason is, of course, the reason for taking pills.

The accumulation of infuriating qi takes time to cultivate, but taking the magic elixir that can increase the power is indeed a labor-saving and time-saving shortcut. In the past two months, Su Changkong took about ten precious qi-enhancing pills before and after.

In the Giant Whale Gang, let alone ordinary disciples, even the core elites are not so extravagant!

With his identity as an alchemist and Gong Zheng's advice, he can only take one or two pills from the medicinal pills he has refined every few days.

Not only can you practice alchemy, but you can also get it, which is really a good job!

As a price, Su Changkong had to concoct pills every day to supply pills from the Giant Whale Gang. Like Gong Zheng, he didn't have the chance to leave until he was old. It wasn't that easy to leave!

Of course, Su Changkong is not Gong Zheng, and will be arbitrarily arranged for his life. If he wants to leave in the future, he will help the Giant Whale Gang to bring a new alchemist to take over like Gong Zheng, and then repay the kindness he received from the Giant Whale Gang. leave.

The time came to the beginning of the month. In the morning, Su Changkong didn't practice Wuqinxi this morning, but came to Yaolu early, because today was the day Gong Zheng left.

Gong Zheng taught him alchemy without any secrets, and now that he left, of course Su Changkong had to give him a ride.

Gong is carrying a suitcase, and his face is excited and anxious.

In the past, he had been concocting pills in the Giant Whale Gang. Even if he occasionally went out, the disciples of the Giant Whale Gang would follow and protect him, but now he is completely free.

But for Gong Zheng, who has lived in the giant whale gang for most of his life, it is a bit uneasy to leave the place he is familiar with and start a new life.

"Okay, don't send me."

After sending Gong Zheng to the door, Gong Zheng smiled at Su Changkong.

"Well, take care all the way." Su Changkong nodded and watched Gong Zheng say something to the disciples who were guarding the gate of the Giant Whale Gang. The Giant Whale Gang disciples then let go and let Gong Zheng leave, his back gradually disappearing.

"Go back to alchemy."

Su Changkong withdrew his gaze and returned to the alchemy room. Now that Gong Zheng left, he officially took over the position of Gong Zheng and became the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang!

In the alchemy room until the afternoon, Su Changkong packed the alchemy, and every day special disciples from the Giant Whale Gang would come to collect and inspect it.

As usual, Su Changkong went to the chef of the Giant Whale Gang for dinner.

"Master Su."

Along the way, they saw Su Changkong's giant whale gang disciples wearing white alchemy clothes, and they all greeted them very kindly.

They know that the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang has now been replaced by this young 'Master Su', and it will not hurt to have a good relationship with this young man who is proficient in alchemy!

Su Changkong sat down in a corner. The public kitchen was similar to a cafeteria, and there were also a table of giant whale gang disciples in groups beside the other tables.

Su Changkong nibbled at a meaty chicken leg, supplementing his consumption and physical strength.

"Have you heard... Today, the Giant Whale Gang found a body ten miles away. I heard that it belonged to Master Gong..."

"Master Gong? Wasn't he in the gang? How could he be killed?"

However, at this time, the words whispered by the two giant whales at the table next to the disciples made Su Changkong stunned.

"Gong Zheng... dead?"

Su Changkong was stunned. He even sent Gong Zheng away from the Giant Whale Gang during the day, but suddenly heard that Gong Zheng was dead?

"Master Gong... how did he die?"

This caused Su Changkong to stand up and look at the two giant whale gang disciples who were eating. He forcibly suppressed his emotions.

"Who is he?" When the conversation was interrupted, a young man on the right looked over with some dissatisfaction.

The other man with the national character face saw the robe Su Changkong was wearing, recognized his identity, and hurriedly pulled the young man.

The man with the national character pondered the words, looked at the left and right and no one was paying attention, and said, "I also heard what others said. At noon today, someone found a headless corpse ten miles away from the Giant Whale Gang. This corpse The head seems to have been torn down alive, and its whereabouts are unknown, and even the heart has been dug out alive, the method is very cruel... Judging by his clothes, it should be Master Gong who should leave."

"Headless corpse... the heart was dug out?" Su Changkong stood there, his expression changed uncontrollably, with sadness and anger in his heart.

If it was a passerby who died, then Su Changkong would not have much mood swings, but it was Gong Zheng who died! Gong Zheng, who taught him alchemy and took good care of him!

"The head was torn off alive, and the heart was dug out... Ordinary people's methods of killing people are not so cruel, is it the work of demons?"

Su Changkong did not lose his composure, he inexplicably thought of the woman in white who was suspected of being a monster that night in the ghost market.

Inevitably, Su Changkong wondered if Gong Zheng had encountered a demon and was brutally killed.

But if you think about it carefully, there is something strange about it. He was killed not long after he left the Giant Whale Gang, and it was the monster who killed him. The two together, the probability is too small! Murderers do this on purpose, and it is not necessarily confusing!

But since this is the case, why not just destroy the corpse and destroy the trace?

The man with the Chinese character face saw Su Changkong's changing face, and he comforted him: "Master Su, you are studying alchemy with Master Gong, and you are condolences. This matter has already made many hall masters in the gang angry, and the deputy gang masters have already To speak in person and to track down the murderer at all costs will definitely make him pay the heaviest price and be buried with Master Gong."

Gong Zheng's death indeed caused quite a stir in the Giant Whale Gang.

Gong Zheng worked hard for the Giant Whale Gang to refine alchemy for decades. As a result, he just quit his job and was brutally murdered not long after he left the Giant Whale Gang. Do your best to investigate this!

"Well... I see." Su Changkong restrained his emotions, nodded slightly, and sat back in his original seat. The sumptuous meals on the table made him a little tasteless.

Gong Zheng died tragically, and Su Changkong, who had received Gong Zheng's favor, was undoubtedly unhappy, although he was not so angry that he lost his mind.

"Let the giant whale help me investigate this matter. I'm new here, and I don't know more than others."

In the end, Su Changkong sighed.

Gong Zheng was killed as soon as he left the Giant Whale Gang. There are too many guesses about the identity of the murderer. It may be the work of a demon, it may be that hostile forces deliberately blocked the Giant Whale Gang, or it may even be that Gong Zheng offended someone in the Giant Whale Gang. Some people were killed by their own people!

Su Changkong has just come to the Giant Whale Gang for two months. He knows too little to judge. The best way is to do nothing and wait for the results. Maybe there will be no results!

Gong Zheng's death caused quite a stir among the giant whale gang. Even Su Changkong, who was in contact with him, came to ask about the situation, and Su Changkong answered truthfully. Gong Zheng had a deep understanding with him. really not much.

But when a Gong Zheng dies, the world goes on as usual, and life goes on.

It was the next morning, but this morning, there was a person waiting in advance in the alchemy room of Yaolu.

This is a young man who is one or two years younger than Su Changkong, with a shy smile on his face, when he saw Su Changkong coming, he said, "Master Su, my name is Liu Geng, and I know a little about medicine and pharmacology. , to assist Master Su in alchemy."

Su Changkong frowned, "I don't need help from others."

Su Changkong's alchemy has always been alone, and he is really not used to a person who doesn't understand helping him, and maybe it will get in the way.

The boy who claimed to be Liu Geng said with a face full of embarrassment: "Master Su, the deputy gang leader asked me to come... I can't go against it."

Hearing this, Su Changkong probably understood something, it was fake that Liu Geng came to assist him in alchemy, and to put it bluntly, he came to monitor him.

Su Changkong had just become the alchemist of the Giant Whale Gang. The Giant Whale Gang couldn't trust him much, so he sent Liu Geng to watch him to prevent him from messing around, or being too guarded and stealing. treatment.

"Okay, then you stay and help me fight."

In the end, Su Changkong nodded in agreement, knowing that forcibly driving Liu Geng away would only make both parties more distrustful, and his face was ugly.

"Thank you Master Su for your understanding! There is something wrong with my eyes. Master Su has worked so hard to make alchemy. There are some things I can't see, so I won't talk nonsense!"

Liu Geng thanked him gratefully, and at the same time hinted to Su Changkong that as long as Su Changkong concentrates on alchemy, he can satisfy the Giant Whale Gang, even if he guards himself a little bit, it doesn't matter, he will keep one eye closed.

Otherwise, the disgruntled Su Changkong would only need to deliberately fail a few potions of elixir, then the giant whale gang would lose a lot of money, and it would be time-consuming and laborious to train a new alchemist, so it would be better to give Su Changkong some benefits and let him be grateful to Dade, Willing to do things for the giant whale gang!

"Start alchemy, you help me to preheat the alchemy furnace." Su Changkong didn't talk nonsense, and directly started the new day of alchemy.

As Liu Geng said, he didn't say anything about Su Changkong taking one or two Chengdan occasionally. Not only that, Liu Geng is also a very diligent person. Qualified assistant!
