Chen Sheng returned and brought the Dragon Yuan Wood. The alchemists in the medicine house were very happy. This brought them one step closer to refining the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill.
"So, the only thing missing is the blue fungus stone."
There was a faint smile on Luzhu's face. She was in a good mood when she saw Chen Sheng.
“This item is the hardest to find.”
Chen Sheng had a deep understanding of the Green Fungus Stone. This second-level spiritual herb was introverted and not mysterious, like a stone on the roadside. Only alchemists could tell the difference.
It is difficult to find, identify and plant, so it is naturally very rare.
"There's no rush, there's still time."
Lu Zhu had participated in the operation of raising spiritual herbs for such important medicines. Compared with the rush that Mr. Shen had to rush back then, Mr. Chen now has a lot of free time.
"During this period of time, let the subordinates search for it first. If it doesn't work, we will find another way."
Mr. Chen was in a very calm state of mind. He let the wind blow and let the entire medicine house operate and search. He himself took a short break and dealt with some things.
Side hall.
"Mr. Shen, we have obtained the Dragon Origin Wood. If you have any news about the Green Fungus Stone, please let me know."
Mr. Chen wrote a document to Mr. Shen.
The news about Long Yuanmu was given by this old man, so he should give an explanation.
Moreover, Mr. Shen's network of relationships is also extraordinary. Asking him to inquire about the news about the Green Fungus Stone may reveal unexpected surprises.
After finishing this task, he looked at the two documents on the desk and picked one up at random.
"The spiritual herb industry north of Ninghua Beiyuan can finally be considered mature."
This was sent by Qi Luo.
It has been twenty-two years since the authority was first distributed.
This former genius alchemist, now a big shot in Yaolu, has finally completed the blueprint for the north side of Yaolu, opened up all channels, and organized it into a mature group.
As long as Yaolu gives the order, an endless supply of spiritual herbs will flow to a certain place in an instant.
There are also many unknown benefits, it is definitely a behemoth.
"Once this place is completed, the foundation of the Medicine House will be unshakable."
Mr. Chen was very satisfied, not only because he could have access to resources as he pleased, but also because he felt a sense of spiritual accomplishment.
During his tenure, Yaolu's rapid development was worthy of his authority.
He did not let down the three deceased alchemy masters, as well as Mr. Shen and Chen Ergou's silent support.
"The construction of the twelve halls of the Medicine House is already crowded. We propose to expand it and allow some alchemy apprentices to be promoted to alchemists."
Then, Mr. Chen picked up the second document.
This was written by Cheng Yushu.
It is recorded above that the core circle of Yaolu is already a bit crowded. With the abundance of resources, the skills of alchemists and the number of alchemy apprentices are all improving in leaps and bounds.
The most obvious thing is that the Twelve Palaces seem crowded.
We should take this opportunity to tidy ourselves up.
"He has an outstanding vision and is truly a talent."
The first step is that Qi Luo integrates the channels on the north side of the medicine house and completes the layout, so that spiritual herbs and other things are continuously supplied. The second step is the expansion of the medicine house. The two complement each other.
From this we can see that Cheng Yushu has excellent vision and pattern, and is able to make useful suggestions at the right time.
This person is a great talent.
"The Medicine House is now full of spiritual herbs and talented people. We may be able to open a Dao Discussion Hall to discuss the Dao of Alchemy, answer questions, and compile the day's content into a monthly magazine."
Chen Sheng had a lot of ideas in his mind, but in the end he said, "There is no rush for this matter."
Things have their priorities. Once the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill is refined, it will be the time to change the medicine house.
White Jade Peak.
"Senior, I'm back."
After finishing his duties, Mr. Chen walked around and came to Fu Yunzi to talk to the old man.
"I hope there are no setbacks."
Fu Yunzi knew that Chen Sheng went to Danfeng Mountain for the Dragon Yuan Wood, but he didn't have much of a choice. To get such a precious second-level spiritual herb, he had to put in some effort.
"He killed an outer sect elder of the Qishui Immortal Sect."
Mr. Chen thought about this matter, which was ultimately related to the Qishui Immortal Sect, so he told him about Taoist Zhicheng's situation.
"For matters outside the sect, it's still a fair fight, nothing to worry about."
Fu Yunzi smiled and shook his head. The matters concerning the outer sect of the Immortal Sect were relatively easy to handle. If someone really went to the Guangxiu Immortal Sect to ask for accountability, with his connections, he would be able to fight back for Chen Sheng.
"I need you to help me keep an eye out for news about the Blue Fungus Stone."
Mr. Chen cast a wide net and just asked Mr. Shen to help, but in the blink of an eye, Fu Yunzi became interested.
These two people have been deeply involved in the Immortal Sect for many years and have extensive networks of relationships. They may get news out of the blue.
"I've made note of this."
Fu Yunzi nodded. He also hoped that Chen Sheng could successfully complete the refining of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill.
…
It has been idle for half a year.
Mr. Chen entrusted the clues of the Qingjun Stone to Mr. Shen, Fu Yunzi, and his own Yaolu channel, and then waited patiently.
He gave Zhou Huang an introduction to the Dao of Alchemy. Influenced by Zhou Lie, the little guy showed patience and tenacity in this regard.
In a trance, he seemed to see Zhou Lie's childhood.
As for food, Luzhu started cooking again. She always cooked a big table. Seeing Chen Sheng and Zhou Lie's family eating happily, she had a satisfied look on her face.
The overall space of the medicine house has also expanded two or three times. Chen Sheng accepted Cheng Yushu's suggestion and made arrangements for it.
With so many alchemy rooms and residences built, they naturally will not be left idle.
Mr. Chen personally selected fifteen new alchemists to join the core circle of Yaolu.
These are the ones he has handled, and the ones he has not, including those by Qi Luo and others. He has recruited a hundred alchemy apprentices, greatly filling the space in the medicine house.
With more people, it becomes more glorious and has a prosperous atmosphere.
"I have asked everywhere, but there is no news. Historically, most of the blue fungus stones come from the Wenshuo Mountains. You can try your luck there."
Mr. Shen’s clerk has arrived.
He used all his connections, but there was no news about the Qingfan Stone.
"It seems that we have to go to the Wenshuo Mountains to investigate."
Mr. Chen already had a plan in his mind. Not only did Mr. Shen say so, but Fu Yunzi also said a few days ago that there was no news about the Qingjun Stone, but he could try his luck in the Wenshuo Mountains.
Both of them made such a suggestion.
So……
Wenshuo Mountains.
Mr. Chen came here, but not alone, he brought Zhou Lie with him.
His idea was not to rush around like looking for a needle in a vast ocean, but to establish a base first and search around.
The spirituality of the Green Fungus Stone is too introverted.
Perhaps it has fallen into the hands of a casual cultivator at this moment, but he will not be able to recognize it and will just treat it as a collectible.
There may also be people who know the value of the item and hold on to it, waiting to sell it for a high price.
Zhou Lie is no longer a rookie. He has a calm temperament and does things calmly while thinking about the stronghold.
“You have to establish a reputation, demonstrate your prestige and ability, so that people will believe you.”
Chen Sheng's eyes flickered with divine light. He watched for a while and said, "That area is full of spiritual energy, but there are no people. It's not that they don't want to go there, but they don't dare. There must be a ferocious monster lurking there. If we kill it, we can certainly win."
If he wants to establish his authority and make a name for himself, the quickest way is to step on stepping stones.
"The teacher is wise."
Zhou Lie had no doubts and walked with Chen Sheng to a valley where the vegetation was lush, but there were no traces of people or monsters. However, there was a nest that was like a deep pit, with a few feathers of birds and beasts on it.
"Cry"
Sudden.
A whistling sound that could split the clouds and pierce the rocks came from above the valley. It was a demon bird that seemed to be made of fine iron, pitch black in color, with claws as golden as hooks, and an edge that could tear apart everything.
"Who is so blind as to trespass into the Sky-Splitting Bird's territory?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The casual cultivators not far from here raised their eyes and saw the Sky-Splitting Bird, which seemed to be the overlord of the sky. They hurriedly restrained their aura for fear of being noticed.
This kind of demon bird is extremely powerful. It occupies the advantage of the sky, has swift fighter planes, and is physically strong. It is extremely difficult to find an opponent in the Qi Refining Realm.
"Let's wait and see, maybe we can find some bargains."
Three or five experienced independent practitioners were already planning to make money from the dead. If they were less lucky, they could pick up some odds and ends, which would be enough for half a month's practice.
If you are lucky, that's enough money for several years, which is much better than going into the mountains and taking risks.
"Cry"
The Sky-Splitting Bird let out a hissing cry and rushed downward like a giant arrow, breaking through layers of air. Even from a long distance away, one could feel a tremendous force overwhelming him like a tidal wave.
Its two claws were even more terrifying, like a pair of first-level magical weapons, emitting sharp light.
Once one is caught, his bones, organs, etc. will be crushed into powder in an instant.
"Evil beast!"
Zhou Lie drew his sword and pointed it at the bird that split the sky from a distance. He was still full of energy and did not show any fear at all.
With his background, he can handle anyone below the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Waiting for the Sky-Splitting Bird to approach the ground, Zhou Lie swung his sword and slashed at it. The sword light was bright and rose three feet high.
"clang"
The Sky-Splitting Bird then realized the danger and used its claws to resist, thus avoiding being chopped off. However, in its panic, its wings were broken and it floated down, looking a little embarrassed.
"This is not reckless at all, it's clearly a mountain dragon."
The casual cultivators who were waiting to take advantage of the opportunity felt a little nervous. A person who could even compete with the Sky-Splitting Bird was not someone they could provoke.
"Today this evil beast has hit a wall."
There were also some people with pure hearts who were delighted to see the Sky-Splitting Bird being harassed. They had all been harassed by this evil beast to some extent in this area, but they were helpless.
A strong man passed by today and taught the Sky-Splitting Bird a lesson. How could they not be happy?
"Cry"
The Sky-Splitting Bird has been roaming around this place for many years, so there is no way it would retreat in disgrace.
It attacked again, but it had learned its lesson and no longer moved violently. It used a little more agility and gave up on the overwhelming force. Instead, it used its two sharp claws like swords and hooks.
"clang……"
Zhou Lie slashed down with his magic sword and retracted it as soon as it touched the opponent. It would be difficult for a first-level magic weapon to win under those sharp claws, so he simply slashed at the opponent's wings and body.
"kill"
With one sword he defeated the enemy. Seeing the Sky-Splitting Bird trying to fly away into the sky, Zhou Lie felt a small bell flying out of his body. It swelled up against the wind and landed in the sky first, blocking the Sky-Splitting Bird's path.
Then, it fell down and trapped the Sky-Splitting Bird in the bell. Suddenly, a tinkling sound was heard. The evil beast was struggling but could not escape.
"Bang"
Zhou Lie took a step forward and slapped the big bell with his palm. The power of this magic weapon immediately increased greatly, and it directly turned the Sky-Splitting Bird into ashes.
"That's... a second-level magical weapon?!"
When the small bell came out, everyone was shocked. They opened their eyes wide and felt that this magic weapon was extraordinary and not of the first level.
When I saw the Sky-Splitting Bird again, it was taken care of in just a few moves. I had already made my judgment.
"Yes, it must be a second-level magic weapon that can kill the Sky-Splitting Bird so easily."
Many casual cultivators have never seen a second-level magical weapon, but today they have made up for the gap in their knowledge.
They stared at Xiao Zhong, then looked at Zhou Lie, with a hint of awe in their eyes.
This is how the world of immortal cultivation works. Only the strong can win the respect of everyone.
"People like this shouldn't come to the Wenshuo Mountains to make a living."
Afterwards, the casual cultivators nearby began to speculate on the intentions of Chen Sheng and the other man. They usually didn't see such powerful people because they belonged to different circles.
This kind of person doesn't need to be in the business of licking blood from the knife.
Chen Sheng responded to the doubts of the local cultivators with practical actions. He used earth, rocks and wood to build a stronghold.
A simple and spacious house may not be a big deal elsewhere, but it is a great show of strength in the dangerous Wenshuo Mountains.
It's too conspicuous and out of place, and it can be seen at first glance.
Mr. Chen wanted people to see it, so he put up a sign at the door that read "Chongqing Junshi" and various medicinal stones.
Various medicinal stones are prepared for casual practitioners. The spirituality of the Green Fungus Stone is introverted. Some people don't understand it and just treat it as a spiritual stone.
Then, if this condition is met, it will be taken out for him to judge.
“Is this true or false?”
"Someone with that kind of strength shouldn't have the time to sneak away from us."
"I have a stone that looks like a medicinal stone. Take it for identification."
With the sacrifice of the Sky-Splitting Bird, Chen Sheng's stronghold was quickly noticed. The wandering cultivators in twos and threes watched for a while, but no one took any action.
"Senior, do you want to accept this?"
At this time, a man with a simple and honest face entered the stronghold with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. The atmosphere of the surrounding environment and the strength of Chen Sheng and the other man all gave him a sense of pressure.
Nervously, he took out a stone-like object, which was as soft as jade and had a faint medicinal fragrance.
"Rongmin Medicine Stone, first-grade spiritual herb, worth one hundred mid-grade spiritual stones."
Zhou Lie took a look and told the name of the medicinal stone and its value.
"It's really a medicinal stone, one hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"
The honest man looked overjoyed. One hundred middle-grade spirit stones were enough for him to adventure in the Wenshuo Mountains for half a year.
He picked up this medicinal stone casually, treating it as a strange stone, and came here to try his luck.
"But you want to sell it?"
Zhou Lie did not laugh at the honest man's behavior. He had been to the outside world and worked as a half-circular cultivator, so he knew their hardships.
As you struggle and grow on the path of cultivation, you must cherish every bit of cultivation resources.
“Yes.”
The honest man nodded heavily.
Soon, he carefully took a hundred spirit stones and left. Although no one knew what happened, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the honest man had gained something.
