When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 42 Zhang Tingnian’s past events

Zhang Tingnian is a genius in the alchemy lineage of Tianyi Sect. He has mastered all the ancestral alchemy techniques in his 20s. However, he has no obsession with immortality and instead goes out to study and research alchemy techniques. He is obsessed with clever puppets. , this can be seen from his self-titled "Lingji Sanren".

His alchemy talent is not low, and he achieved the "Great Warlock" achievement in both alchemy and alchemy when he was in his 50s.Since then, he has been living in seclusion in Tianyi Mountain behind closed doors, refining elixirs and gold and stone puppets.

Tianyi Mountain was originally an unknown barren mountain, and it got its name from the arrival of the alchemists who left the Tianyi Sect.But it does not mean that Tianyi Mountain is an ordinary mountain. Warlock practice is the same as other types of monks. It is best to practice in a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, such as famous mountains and rivers, caves and blessed places.

Tianyi Mountain forms the shape of the heart of the sky embracing the moon. Five dangerous peaks surround a deep pool, gathering water to form a spirit, and the spirit energy is sufficient.Since the Tianyi Sect's alchemy magicians established themselves here, they have become famous. At that time, the alchemy profession had begun to decline, but a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, so many people were still willing to join the sect.

It wasn't until the founding of Dayin that a mysterious man came to Tianyi Mountain to find Zhang Tingnian's grandfather, Zhang Yun.According to his parents' description, his grandfather Zhang Yun was very frightened when he saw the visitor, and the two talked in secret for three days and three nights.After the mysterious man left, Zhang Yun looked lonely, and immediately announced that he would close the mountain gate, disperse all the disciples, and no longer accept any more disciples. Since then, Tianyi Mountain has declined.This also caused the alchemy of Yin State to fall into the bottom. Only some small sects and some abandoned disciples of Tianyi Mountain who had not given up on immortality were struggling to support it.

Only Zhang Tingnian's family lives in Tianyi Mountain.As Zhang Tingnian's grandfather and parents passed away one after another, Zhang Tingnian was the only one living in Tianyi Mountain. It was not until he returned home after completing his studies and recruited eight disciples that the mountain gained some popularity again.

Before his father died, he told him a secret about the past. His grandfather closed the mountain gate to protect a treasure.If someone comes to take it, let him not resist and give it directly to the person who comes.He is now one hundred and two years old. Compared with the highest survival record of an alchemist, he can still live for 100 years.

In this world, the lifespan of cultivators in the Xiantian stage generally reaches about one hundred years, and the maximum lifespan can reach one hundred to twenty years.Are you saying that alchemy is useless?It allows alchemists to live seven to eighty years longer than innate practitioners.You say it works?That was only 20 years.

Of course, this is a comparison between a great alchemist and a person who cultivates in the innate stage.Some clever little people must be thinking, if a cultivator in the innate stage takes the elixir of a great alchemist, wouldn’t he be able to live two hundred years?
Even if an alchemist is at level seven or higher, the success rate of refining a furnace of immortality pills is less than [-]%. Is it so precious that you are willing to give it to others?

Let's take the late emperor's alchemy as an example. The so-called immortality pills he took were all defective. The real ones were hidden by the alchemists. Later, they were killed and all took advantage of Li Shun.This is also the reason why Zhang Tingnian was able to agree to a [-]-[-] split.

Can practitioners in the Xiantian stage make elixirs by themselves?Yes, but the alchemy paths of the two are different.One is that zhenqi does not have the exquisite micro-manipulation ability of mana, and the other is that mana can touch some rules. The two are essentially different.

It can be operated after the cultivator reaches a certain level and touches the way of heaven. For example, if the martial arts cultivator reaches the Great Perfection or the Dharma cultivator reaches the Yuan Shen stage, will the so-called Immortality Pill be needed at that time?At most, it’s for the disciples below. The key is that no one in Dayin can reach that level!
Zhang Ting came to Beijing. Firstly, he couldn't bear the disturbance, and secondly, he discovered that the treasure his family was guarding actually came from the palace.He wants to know what happened that year?
His childhood was lonely and unfortunate, but his parents were fine.After his parents died, he lived alone in the mountains. That kind of loneliness took a lifetime to heal.This also led to his withdrawn personality. Even if he accepted disciples, he would only teach his skills and never talk to them much.

Today was the time when he talked the most. The emperor asked questions and did not dare not answer them, but it seemed that talking to him would make him very happy.Especially since he didn't laugh at himself because of his appearance.

Maybe it was there at the beginning, he could feel it.Later, his eyes were not malicious and made people feel comfortable. You know, his disciples sometimes called him "Yuan Datou" behind his back.

"Maybe I can be friends with him." He was so lonely.

A grand banquet is being held in the harem, with many dragons and phoenixes.

Li Shun sat in the middle of the special long table. On the left and right sides were Concubine Yang and Concubine Li. Hu Yuelian was on the side of Concubine Yang, and the other concubines sat according to their positions.Li Shun chuckled, his expression a bit vulgar, and the sounds of warbles and warbles could be heard endlessly.

"This is the country I have brought down!"

"I wish your emperor a long life!"

Li Fei moved her seat a little closer to Li Shun, held the wine glass, leaned against him, and blessed him sweetly.Concubine Yang glanced and turned away.Hu Yuelian stared at them with interest.

"Li Fei, you drank too much." Li Shun pushed her shoulder.

"I didn't drink too much, maybe the emperor drank too much. Don't you usually like me like this the most?" Li Fei twisted her waist and pressed closer to her.Li Shun suddenly felt a chill on the left side of his waist. It was Concubine Yang's little hand that reached in. After pinching for a long time, she couldn't pinch any flesh, so she could only withdraw her hand and snorted angrily.

"There are many people, please pay attention to your image."

"Ah? Aren't all my sisters here? Who has never seen you, Your Majesty, right?" Concubine Li raised her head and asked the girls, who all covered their smiles.Li Shun regretted his sudden whim and built his own Shura field. Isn't this an evil act?

The others are fine, but Concubine Yang is so petty that she can't be coaxed for a few days?He cast a look at Hu Yuelian for help.Hu Yuelian rolled her eyes and stopped looking at them.

He had no choice but to beg for mercy in a low voice: "How can you let me go?"

Concubine Li immediately became energetic and said loudly: "The emperor wants to reward us!" For a moment, all the girls turned their eyes over.

Li Shun was stunned: "Did I say that?"

Concubine Li tilted her head, confused and asked slightly threateningly: "Didn't the Emperor say that?"

"Money fan!" Li Shun understood that he would not be able to pass this level without some blood: "Yes, I said it. Each of you will choose one of the gifts sent by the ministers today."

"Long live the Emperor!" Li Fei finally stopped.

Li Shun couldn't suffer this loss in vain, so he asked Concubine Li: "Today is my birthday, you don't have any expression?"

Concubine Li rolled her eyes and said teasingly: "I have put the gift in the palace, and the emperor will come to pick it up later."

Li Shun said sternly: "Don't try to mislead me! I am a gentleman."

All the girls burst into laughter, and even Concubine Yang burst into laughter, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.Li Shun looked confused: "Is it that funny? I've always been like this!"

Concubine Li held Li Shun's shoulders and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please stop talking, I have a stomachache."

Li Shun is the kind of scumbag who thinks he is affectionate without knowing it.Hu Yuelian took a heavy breath and rubbed her face: "Your Majesty, actually today we have agreed to sell the embroidery, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings made by the sisters in the palace to others outside the palace. All the silver I got was donated to the disaster-stricken areas, and I asked myself to reduce the monthly allowance by one-third to support palace expenses. Concubine Li is joking with you. You can also convert the gifts into silver so you can use them later."

Li Shun was a little moved: "Do you all agree?"

All the girls nodded, they had all seen the changes in the emperor these days.At least there are fewer days to come to the harem.Most of them come from poor families. Although they are not as educated as women from aristocratic families, they can empathize with the sufferings of the people.Besides, husband and wife are one and the same. If something happens to Dayin, how good will their fate be?

Li Shun was a little ashamed, but more pleased: "Come, I'll give you a drink, my beloved concubines!"
