Chapter 221 The incident of the fallen immortal
"Yang Xu? Why are you here? When did you come to Qixia Town?" The joy of meeting old friends made Bian Qing instantly sweep away the boredom in his heart, and walked over with a smile on his face.
"I just arrived a few days ago." Yang Xu was also very happy. He thought about finding Bian Qing when he settled down completely, but he didn't expect that he just happened to meet someone when he went out today. It was such a coincidence. Got it! Excited, he grabbed Bian Qing's hand and looked at the other person carefully. After finding that the other person looked good, the smile on his face deepened.
"It's all my fault. If I had given you my current address before, we would have met a long time ago." When Yang Xu looked at Bian Qing, Bian Qing also looked at him calmly, and then looked at him from the new clothes on his body. Judging from the rosy face, Yang Xu's life should be relatively moist.
At this time, Su Yulang, who was following Bian Qing, also came over and called out obediently: "Uncle Yang Xu." The soft and waxy call immediately made Yang Xu's heart soften, and he hurriedly bent down
. , holding Su Yulang's little face with both hands, and kissed it lovingly: "We Yulang have grown so big, and we are getting more and more beautiful." After saying this, Su Yulang's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, but he was too embarrassed to break away, so he could only hang his head. He shyly looked away, causing Yang Xu and Bian Qing to burst into laughter again.
"Why are you alone? Where is the child? Where is Li Yu?"
After a while of playing, the sense of alienation between the two due to more than a year of separation completely disappeared, and they began to talk familiarly. . Yang Xu and Li Yu have a very good relationship, so when Bian Qing asked about this, the smile on his face deepened: "I found a mother-in-law to help me at home, so I didn't take the children out with me. After all, he still It's too small."
"That's right. People outside are so talkative that it's not good if you bump into each other. It's better to keep it at home." Bian Qing said with a smile.
Standing in the middle of the road was too much in the way of other people, so the three of them simply found a tea stall and sat down, talking very intimately about their experiences over the past year. It was only after listening to Yang Xu's story that Bian Qing realized that their family had completely fallen out with the old woman from the Li family. "Anyway, over the years, we have given Xiao Jing a lot of money. Since my mother-in-law likes the second wife, they can live with the second wife." When he said this, Yang Xu rolled his eyes.
Bian Qing was also quite unhappy with the old woman of the Li family and the second wife of the Li family. What makes him feel amazing is that the second son of the Li family, who was almost killed by the Xiang family, still has the idea to instigate his old mother to make trouble with other brothers. Is this true that he is confident or has no brains?
"But thank you for being separated from them." When talking about this again, Yang Xu looked happy: "Brother Li Yu returned all the things that were separated from the family to his mother-in-law, and said that he would never owe them anything again, so He took my children and I to the town to make a living. Because Brother Li Yu is willing to work and does well, he is also very honest, and he is very popular with the management, so this time he came to Qixia Town to open a semicolon, and asked Brother Li to follow him. "."
"If we had been fighting with them over that little thing, we would still be digging in the soil now, how could we have the life we have now?" Yang Xu shook his head and said, it could be seen that he was dissatisfied with his current life. Really satisfied. After sighing about his experience, he said to Bian Qing with great interest: "What about you? Brother Bian Qing." "I am much busier than before." When he was in Luoshan Village, in order to reduce
trouble , so Bian Qing has been hiding the fact that he and Su Yulang have been practicing from Yang Xu and others. However, now that they were in Qixia Town, there was no need to be so rigidly guarded, so he simply explained his cultivation matters this year, which made Yang Xu's eyes sparkle.
"Brother Bian Qing, you and Yulang have actually started practicing?" Although he had thought that with Su Ziyi's temperament, Bian Qing and Su Yulang would start practicing sooner or later, but when he heard Bian Qing admit it, Yang Xu was still touched. After being shocked, his eyes flashed and he asked tentatively, "Is he your husband?" "
Yes." When talking about Su Ziyi, the lines on Bian Qing's face softened instantly.
"It seems that he treats you very well." Yang Xu knew his own temperament well, so when he talked about Bian Qing's ability to practice, he was envious for a while and then had no other emotions. After all, a cultivator must The things he must bear are definitely more than ordinary people, and it is completely beyond the capabilities of someone like him who yearns for a simple life. Therefore, after he listened, he praised Bian Qing a few words and said: "Brother Bian Qing, you are tenacious and can endure hardships. This kind of life is perfect for you." Bian Qing looked at his clear eyes and knew that he did think so
. , the last thought in my heart was gone, and only a faint smile remained on my face.
Because it was getting late, Bian Qing didn't force Yang Xu to go to their house to sit there. The two parties only exchanged addresses and made an appointment to go to the other party's house to sit there if nothing happened, and then they dispersed.
But this incident made him feel much better.
As soon as he got home, Su Ziyi saw the smile on his face, but before he could ask jokingly, Su Yulang on the side told him with great excitement that they met Uncle Yang Xu on the road, which made him immediately A sudden realization.
That's right, given the friendship between Bian Qing and Yang Xu, they should be very happy when they meet.
However, this joy did not last long. After dinner, Bian Qing, who was out of the excitement of meeting old friends again, quickly remembered the agreement with Zhang Wu. The expression on his face immediately became solemn, and his right index finger tapped on the table. , there is a layer of depression attached to the whole person.
Su Ziyi naturally noticed his restless behavior, but he didn't speak, just waiting for Bian Qing to say it himself.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Bian Qing couldn't hold back and told everything, including the recent strange situation in the Meteor Immortal Forest. But until he finished listening, there was no unnecessary expression on his face, which made Bian Qing feel more and more upset: "Do you think it's okay? I am currently at the sixth level of Qi Refining, while Zhang Wu and A Lang are both at the fourth level. , even if the number of monster beasts is greatly reduced now, I can't guarantee that the middle layer is safe."
After hearing what he said, Su Ziyi turned his head and looked at him squarely: "Do you want to go yourself? From the bottom of my heart, the most sincere Speaking of ideas."
"I..." Bian Qing subconsciously said that he didn't know, but after seeing the expression on Su Ziyi's face, he immediately put his words back, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked confused. He looked a little aggrieved. But even so, Su Ziyi didn't open his mouth to explain him. After waiting for a long time, he said in frustration: "I want to go." "But, I'm afraid of an accident." This sentence seemed to open up his desire to vent
. The switch made him speak out all his thoughts at once: "Among the few people, I have the highest cultivation level...and we have a good relationship...if something goes wrong...of course it's not impossible." I want you to go with me, but Zhang Wu must have something in mind..." His words sounded a little confusing, but Su Ziyi understood.
"If you want to go, just go." In order to prevent Bian Qing from continuing to fall into this self-destructive atmosphere, Su Ziyi directly interrupted his thoughts. After being together for so long, he naturally knew how much Bian Qing valued the people around him. Because he valued Bian Qing, he would unconsciously put more responsibilities on himself and torture himself in his heart.
Of course, this does not mean that this kind of nature is bad, but if it is exceeded, it is a bad thing and may even destroy a person.
Therefore, at that moment, he decisively interrupted Bian Qing's self-pity: "If you are just worried about whether there are still third-order monsters in the middle layer, I can tell you that it is gone." Although he has not been hunting in the Fallen Fairy Forest for a while
. , but he is not blind to what is going on outside the window. He has more or less heard some news from Yang Yihua and old doctor Wu: "Because the ban was broken years ago, a large number of monsters suffered heavy casualties. Those who survived It has also begun to shrink into the interior of the Fallen Fairy Forest, so in a short period of time, no second-level monsters or above will appear outside the inner layer of the Fallen Fairy Forest."
"As for the future..." At this point, Su Ziyi paused before saying: "These days, you should notice that some of the spiritual creatures that were supposed to erupt in the spring and summer in the Meteor Fairy Forest are gradually decreasing, and some are even invisible. It's not here."
"Indeed." Bian Qing had naturally noticed this a long time ago.
"This is enough to explain the problem." Su Ziyi's expression was rarely solemn, which made Bian Qing also become serious. "I told you that the Age of Ending Law is coming, and the first thing to bear the brunt is the quantity and quality of these spiritual creatures. From the current situation, the balance in the Fallen Fairy Forest is more fragile than we imagined." "If you want
to Look, you can go to the study and take a look." Su Ziyi didn't want to get up for the moment, so he only said verbally: "The area of the Fallen Fairy Forest has been decreasing for so many years, and every time there is a large-scale decrease in spiritual beings, They are all accompanied by various events, large and small." Therefore, he judged that the situation was the same this time, but the magnitude of the events was a bit lower than he expected.
"So -" Hearing this, Bian Qing couldn't help but take a breath, and then asked impatiently: "If this continues, the outermost layer of the Meteor Fairy Forest will disappear first, and the miasma in the middle layer will also disappear. Dissipate little by little... Then, more ordinary people will enter the Fallen Fairy Forest and build new towns, new towns..." He has also read more or less about the Fallen Fairy Forest. , so after Su Ziyi finished speaking, he immediately followed the other person's thinking.
"Yes." Su Ziyi did not deny it.
"Although I don't know when it will be, it will come eventually. What you see now is just a small fuss. When the family has nothing in the inner layer, it means that Qixia Town has lost its original The value will be replaced by other new towns."
For them, talking about this is still too far away.
For Bian Qing, the most important thing at the moment is whether he can bring Zhang Wu and Su Yulang into the middle level.
Therefore, after getting the answer from Su Ziyi, he put away the last bit of anxiety in his heart, and instead started to make preparations to go to the middle level with a very positive look. After all, last time, they had Su Ziyi's help to have such smooth sailing, but this time it was all on their own, and it would not work if they were not fully prepared.
With Su Ziyi, the alchemist here, there was no need to worry about pills, so Bian Qing quickly packed up a bunch of them.
In the past few days while he and Zhang Wu were preparing things, Yang Xu and Li Yu also came to the door with their children. They also live in Dongcheng now, so they naturally know where people usually live in Dongcheng, so when they saw that the Su family actually opened an elixir shop in Dongcheng, they were shocked. At the same time, they felt more and more that Su Ziyi was unfathomable. .
Who could have imagined that Su Ziyi, who was despised by everyone in Luoshan Village, would one day become a respected alchemist?
Although they hadn't seen each other for so long, Su Ziyi's attitude towards Mr. and Mrs. Li Yu was still the same. Although he was cold but not indifferent, this familiar look soon dispelled the couple's uneasiness, and they felt as if they had returned to Luoshan Village. Same then. When they left, Su Ziyi looked out for Bian Qing's sake and even said one more thing to them: "It's not easy to be away from home. If you need any help from us in the future, just ask." After saying that, he excused himself to clean up
. The thing turned and walked away, leaving Mr. Li Yu and Bian Qing behind who were very frightened.
Bian Qing was the first to react, and immediately figured out the intention of Su Ziyi's words, and his heart suddenly felt sweet. When he turned around and saw Mr. Li Yu, whose jaw was about to drop, he immediately laughed out loud: "My husband is right. Back in Luoshan Village, our two families helped each other a lot, so when we arrived in Qixia Town, Naturally it should be like this."
Now that Bian Qing said this, what else could Mr. Li Yu say? Naturally, we can only respond.
However, they have always been honest couples, so even with Su Ziyi's promise, they just felt that they would not easily disturb each other unless it was just in case. After all, cultivators are not from the same world as them. If you really take people's words to heart and act unscrupulously, you will die faster than anyone else.
Although they have only been out for a short time, they can clearly see the rules of this world.
After seeing Mr. Li Yu off, it was finally time for Bian Qing and Su Yulang to leave. Just in case, Su Ziyi used the essence of the five elements to activate a pile of mud in advance, soaked it in water and put it in Bian Qing's storage bag. He also told them a lot of precautions and waited until Zhang Wu next to him was revealed. With an impatient expression, Bian Qing stopped him, shut his mouth, and sent the person out the door.
And once the backs of the few people were no longer visible, Su Ziyi turned back to the house and got into the pharmacy, preparing to take advantage of these few days to break through his alchemy skills to the fifth level of Huang level.
Chapter 222 Alchemy Enlightenment
Su Ziyi has been preparing for this day for nearly half a year.
In the past six months, in addition to learning new elixir recipes, Su Ziyi also checked and filled in the gaps in what he had learned over and over again, in order to become more perfect in the way of alchemy. It is precisely because of his nitpicking that his alchemy skills have improved rapidly, with a success rate of nearly 80% for those below the fifth level.
But this was the case, and he was still less than 50% sure about refining the fifth-grade elixir.
Therefore, it would be best if he could break through this time. If he couldn't break through, he wouldn't be too disappointed, because he knew that with his current level, breaking through to the fifth level of Huang Jie was just a matter of opportunity. If the opportunity comes, maybe he can refine the fifth-grade elixir after waiting for the first furnace. If it is not there...
Shaking his head, Su Ziyi expelled all distracting thoughts from his heart and dealt with it wholeheartedly. s material.
Now, when it comes to processing materials, Su Ziyi is no longer as strenuous as before. Lower-level spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs do not need to be ground. You can directly use spiritual power and inner fire to extract the spiritual fluid from the whole root. There are fewer steps and time, and the concentration of the spiritual fluid is purer. As for high-level herbs that require more delicate processing, The purity of the spiritual grass has also been greatly improved with the help of spiritual power.
Therefore, it only took him an hour to process all the materials for the ten or so fifth-grade low-level elixirs, Fuyan Dan.
Although Fu Yan Dan is a fifth-grade low-level elixir, it has always been in short supply in the market due to its unique medicinal effects and refining techniques.
Needless to say, the efficacy of the medicine, just because it can eliminate scars on human skin is enough to be sought after by people who love beauty; in terms of refining techniques, in order to ensure the efficacy of Fuyan Dan, the purity of the main medicine Fengqihua Spirit Liquid must be within 9 It should be more than five percent, and the whole process needs to be infiltrated with a little heart fire to avoid discoloration of the liquid due to the temperature change of ordinary fire, otherwise the efficacy of the refined Complexion Pill will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the use of auxiliary drugs is also very particular.
Fu Yan Dan pays attention to the dosage of "five points and five roasts" in the dosage of auxiliary medicines, which means that the same auxiliary medicines should be put in five times, and the dosage of each time is the same, and then roasted five times with fire power. Let the auxiliary drugs merge with the main drug. It is precisely because of this that the refining difficulty of the Fuyan Pill has increased a lot. After all, refining the pill is very labor-intensive, and if there is a little mistake, the whole batch of pills will be ruined.
Therefore, you must work hard to refine the Complexion Pill.
The first time, because the heart fire was not accumulated in time, the Fengqihua spirit liquid was directly used up and turned into a brown-black stinking liquid; the second time, the lesson learned from the previous time was learned, but the result was again due to the dosage of auxiliary medicine. There was an error in joining, and it failed again, and then the third time, the fourth time... Until the last part of the materials in hand was left, Su Ziyi couldn't even produce a semi-finished product.
Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, when it came to this moment, he couldn't help but remain silent.
At this time, it was already late at night, and Su Ziyi could no longer hear any other sounds except his own breathing. Because of the whole day of refining the elixir, the spiritual power in his body was terribly empty at this time, and he felt faintly exhausted, but his mind was terrifyingly clear, and he was reviewing and analyzing in his mind bit by bit what he had committed today. Make a mistake, and quickly calculate in your mind how to avoid this mistake and how to prevent similar problems from occurring.
As soon as he did the math, he sank into it completely forgetting himself, completely forgetting how weak his physical condition was at this time.
The spiritual herbs turned into powder in his mind, as if the actual heart fire refined them to the purest form in his mind, and then an invisible hand appeared, stirring the spiritual power to perfectly integrate the main medicine and auxiliary medicine. Together, you will never leave me, and I will never leave you. Finally, when all the spiritual liquid was in the best state of integration, it was suddenly compressed by the spiritual power into the shape of a pill, and started to spin rapidly. After a while, it stopped.
At this time, what appeared in his mind were three fifth-grade complexion pills with extremely perfect appearance.
The moment the elixir took shape, Su Ziyi's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened. I saw that he didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the last ingredient and poured it into the medicine furnace with one hand. With the other hand, he condensed the inner fire and sent it into the medicine furnace. He condensed the spiritual liquid at an extremely fast speed without any pause or hesitation. The other materials were put in one by one, and the whole process was smooth and smooth, as if it had been practiced countless times, and it looked particularly satisfying.
But if someone is standing next to you at this time, you will find that this matter is not as easy as it seems.
Su Ziyi's originally cold face was so tight that it was about to clump together. His bloodshot eyes were staring at the medicine stove without blinking. Coupled with his clenched cheeks, his whole person looked... It was quite ferocious, which showed that his heart was thousands of times more complicated than the movements of his hands. But even though he was in a state of panic, the movements of his hands were not chaotic at all and were orderly.
When his complexion finally calmed down and he was willing to close his sore eyes to rest, the morning sunlight had already shined in through the small window.
At this moment, there were three round white pills lying in his hand. Judging from their quality, they were at least of medium to high quality!
For someone who has just tried refining a fifth-grade elixir, the result is simply shocking! If you put it to the outside world, no one would believe it.
But, Su Ziyi did it!
As this "impossible" person, Su Ziyi was also excited. For a long time, Dr. Wu and the others have been saying that he is extremely talented in the alchemy path, and he himself also knows that his comprehension ability is somewhat strong when it comes to alchemy. But he never thought that he could actually have an epiphany about alchemy in just a few years of dabbling in alchemy!
At the moment of enlightenment, everything in the medicine furnace was like a magnified and slowed-down movie, allowing him to observe the changes in the spiritual liquid from a more detailed perspective, paying attention to every detail of the changes in the medicine, and mastering the refining process perfectly. error-prone parts of the production process. It was simply the guidance that all alchemists dream of. How could Su Ziyi not be excited?
Opening his eyes and looking at the elixir in his hand, Su Ziyi calmed down for a long time before suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when he regained his composure and stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. Only then did he notice that the spiritual energy that had recovered slightly in his body was completely gone, and was even severely overdrawn, which affected his physical condition. In addition, he was also surprised to find that he was surprisingly hungry at this time, as if he hadn't eaten in several days.
This made him wonder. After all, in his mind, only one night had passed. Even if he missed two meals, he shouldn't be so hungry.
After smelling the smell of his clothes, Su Ziyi felt that although he felt a little uncomfortable at this time, he could still bear it. Therefore, as soon as he walked out of the pharmacy, he did not go to the kitchen to get something to eat. Instead, he went to the study to write down his experience in alchemy this time. After he had written down everything in detail, he went to have a good time. I took a cold shower and finally went to the kitchen.
But when he lifted the cover covering the vegetables and fruits, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned when he looked at the vegetables that were as dry as rotten leaves.
It's just one night. The power of this early summer is not so powerful.
Just when he was still in a daze, there was suddenly a noise in front of him. When he listened carefully, he found that someone was banging on the door of the store in front of him. He subconsciously put down the mask in his hand and walked quickly towards the store in front. As soon as he opened the door, he found that Shinobu was walking to the left.
"Butler Xiang, why are you here today?" Su Ziyi wondered. He remembered that there were still two days until the agreed delivery of the elixir, so why are you here today? Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Zuo looked at him with a frightened expression, as if he thought he hadn't woken up: "Brother Su, have you been too busy these days? Today is what you and I have agreed on. It’s the day when the elixir is delivered.”
"What?" Su Ziyi was surprised now, but at the same time he reacted belatedly. The feeling was not that the food rotted too fast, but that he made the elixir for three consecutive days! It's no wonder that he is so evil, the clothes on his body still have a little smell... Thinking of this, Su Ziyi couldn't help but sigh, as expected, this kind of epiphany can make people forget time.
Fortunately, he had the habit of preparing elixirs in advance, so he didn't need to tell Xiang Zuo to postpone the time. He went directly to the pharmacy and took out a wooden box and handed it to him.
It was only after Xiang Zuo left that Su Ziyi began to think about it - so Bian Qing and Su Yulang hadn't been back for three days?
So, what are Bian Qing and Su Yulang, who are missed by Su Ziyi, doing now?
As Bian Qing and Su Ziyi had guessed before, the number of monsters in the middle layer of the Fallen Fairy Forest has also decreased significantly, and even the annoying Demon Swamp Frogs are somewhat rare. In addition, Bian Qing also found that the swamp water in the middle layer began to decrease. Although it was not a lot, they could still find it easily because they stayed at the place where they camped last time.
Moreover, the effect of the Yimi Powder, which could only last for half an hour in the past, has been extended by one stick of incense this time, which shows that the miasma is also changing. Maybe one day it will completely dissipate and people and animals can circulate freely.
All this indicates that the middle layer is developing towards an ordinary forest.
Regarding some changes, Bian Qing couldn't tell how he felt. He only felt that he could only watch these things and could not change anything. So after taking all these changes into his eyes, he stopped thinking about other things and concentrated on them. Follow Zhang Wu to find monsters.
It's just that in the past, the middle layer was not a place suitable for hunting monsters, and it is not the same now. In the first two days after entering the middle level, they achieved nothing. Instead, they met a large team. There are only three of them, and generally their cultivation levels are not high, so in the eyes of those people, they are like living pies, and they want to take a bite when they see them.
Therefore, before they could hunt a monster, they had a fight with a group of cultivators.
The level of cultivation between the two sides is not much different, the key is the number of people. There are only three of them, but there are five of them on the other side, so a head-on confrontation is not possible. They simply fight and retreat, hoping to use elixirs to consume the other side. After all, they may not have more other things than the other side. , but there must be more pills than the other party.
Sure enough, with their plan, the other party could only run after them unwillingly. As a result, due to the strenuous exercise and the consumption of spiritual power, the effect of the Miasma Suppression Powder evaporated faster, and the pills in their pockets were all gone. The medicine has already bottomed out. This made the group of people realize that something was wrong, and they immediately wanted to give up. However, when they saw that Bian Qing and others were still alive and well, completely unaffected by the miasma and the elixirs, they immediately noticed the elixirs in Bian Qing and others' pockets. There was more medicine than they thought, it was a big fat fish, so they chased after it without thinking.
At this moment, Bian Qing, who noticed the other party's intention, completely changed his face.
He has never killed anyone, but he does not object to killing. Since the other party is not willing to give them a way to survive, then he does not have to hold back on the other party.
He dug into his storage bag, and a thunder talisman appeared between his fingers. This was a new one he bought this time. He originally wanted it just in case, but he didn't expect to meet such a group of people. Just use it on them. After thinking about it, he pinched his hand and immediately activated the thunder talisman. At the same time, he stuffed a qi-enhancing pill into his mouth and watched as a blue thunder fell from the sky, struck into the middle of the opponent's team, and destroyed the opponent's formation. It was immediately disrupted, and the two people in the middle were even directly chopped into charcoal.
In an instant, the big Yue team realized the danger.
But now they want to retreat, but Bian Qing will not allow them to retreat. After all, Da Yue's power in Qixia Town is quite large. If these people are released, it will definitely bring them endless trouble, so the only way now is to deal with all these people here.
At this moment, the murderous intention in Bian Qing's body seemed to condense into substance.
Zhang Wu, who was next to him, had never seen blood. Naturally, he understood the truth that Bian Qing could think of. He immediately picked up his big sword and selected a fourth-level practitioner of Qi Refining to attack. And the opponent had long been frightened by Bian Qing's attack just now. At this moment, he just wanted to escape. How could he be Zhang Wu's opponent? So within a few moves, Zhang Wu killed him on the spot.
Later, with the help of Bian Qing and others, they killed all the remaining people with the help of weapons, spells or talismans.
When the last person fell, they realized what they had done. However, among the three people, Su Yulang was a little scared. Bian Qing and Zhang Wu's expressions did not change much. Instead, they calmly collected the bodies of these people into one piece, lit them with fireball and incinerated them. He left this place with the people and the loot.
