Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"Am I still alive?" the old oil man asked, squinting his eyes.

"Alive."

"Okay, then my reward..." The old greasy man's eyes were spinning in his eyes.

"This time, my Zhang family owes a lot to the oily senior, please accept me..."

The old oily man thought something was wrong, so he stood up from the bed and supported Henry Zhang: "Temple Master, no, I have to accept your worship, how many less Wujin Dan will I need!"

Henry Zhang glanced at the old greaser, feeling both angry and ridiculous in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will bear all the Wu Jindan you need in the future."

"real?"

"Really, one bottle a month, is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough." The old oily man smiled with a smile on his face, but still had a mean expression.

Henry Zhang sighed and found Zhang Dawu.

"Dawu, I got a batch of formation fragments. See if you can deduce the formation."

"Okay." Zhang Dawu said with a naive smile.

Henry Zhang took out a lot of things from the storage bag.

Zhang Dawu was stunned.

"This...are these all second-level or even third-level spiritual materials?"

"Yes, there should be third-order formations engraved on it. There are two of them, one is the defensive formation and the other is the spiritual formation."

Zhang Dawu looked at the formation patterns on these fragments, his eyes were fiery, he smashed his mouth and said: "This is really good stuff..."

After handing these things to Zhang Dawu, Zhang Xuan took a bloodthirsty bat and went to Jiuding Hufang City in the inner ring.

"Temple Master, the old strong branches of various tribes have been destroying spiritual seedlings in the past two days. Look..." Zhang Sanqian looked slightly anxious.

Henry Zhang took out several storage bottles directly from the storage bag.

"There are more than 70,000 spiritual seedlings here. You give some to each family first, and pay back the rest slowly. I promise to pay it off in one month."

"That's no problem." Zhang Sanqian said with a smile on his face.

"By the way, how did you go about selecting the alchemist seedlings you mentioned last time?"

"This matter has been completed. There are hundreds of applicants. Grandpa, Zhang Dajin and several other old people from Temple Street will serve as judges. They will conduct an on-site inspection on the knowledge and memorization of elixirs. 10 people have been selected."

"Bring them to me."

"good."

Soon ten people appeared in front of Henry Zhang.

One of them, Henry Zhang, was deeply impressed. He was the second uncle who repeatedly quoted 100,000 pieces of spiritual stones at the auction.

"Second uncle, why did you also sign up?" Henry Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"Why can't I sign up? I have five elements mixed spiritual roots, including fire attribute spiritual roots." The second uncle stretched his neck and said.

"That's not what you're talking about. You're almost 90 years old, right? You're only on the second level of Qi Refining now."

"So what? When I get old, I won't be able to learn alchemy?"

"That's okay..." Henry Zhang sighed in his heart.

Training an alchemist requires spending a lot of resources.

When the second uncle is young, don't just go back to the west after being trained.

The loss would be huge.

"Temple Master, Zhang Ergeng is the one who knows and memorizes the largest number of elixirs among this batch of applicants." Zhang Sanqian explained at the side.

"Of course, I have written down all the elixirs in the jade slips." Zhang Ergeng said, raising his neck.

Henry Zhang was also surprised.

The jade slips he gave contained tens of thousands of elixirs.

It is not just as simple as memorizing the name of the elixir, but also the characteristics, growth area and even some methods of preparing the elixir.

Let alone a month, even if Henry is given a year, he may not be able to write down all the contents on the jade slip.

But the second uncle in front of me actually remembered everything.

He still didn't quite believe it.

He took out a jade slip and began to check randomly.

"Second uncle, do you know the mandarin duck grass?" Henry Zhang asked.

"Earth Marrow Mandarin Duck Grass, produced in Xianfu Cave Heaven, is one of the eight ancient medicines of Dongming. It was formed in the secret realm of Zhenlong Cauldron. It is addicted to yin and afraid of yang. It will fly when it encounters fire. It does not know where it is going. It passes through hundreds of spiritual grasses. Feeding, metal and stone warm and nourish, retaining shape and quality, can be as strong as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon can last forever..."

Zhang Ergeng eloquently said that it was exactly the same as what was recorded on the jade slips.

"Second Master, please tell me about the use of fire in the golden elixir."

"In cultivating the golden elixir, the first step is to use martial fire to refine oneself, and the last step is to use gentle fire to warm oneself. If the self is not mature enough, the great elixir will not form, the temperature and nourishment will be insufficient, and the holy fetus will fail. When the golden elixir is completed, within one breath, heaven and earth will be transformed. Take away all creation, take away all the yin and yang and the five elements, take away all the energy of all things..."

Henry Zhang was stunned at this time.

What this second uncle said, the key to the golden elixir was exactly the same as what was recorded on the jade slips.

You must know that some of these jade slips were purchased from the Fortress City, and some were collected while working as a fire boy in the Bone Desert Fantasy Land.

There are hundreds of millions of words recorded.

But the second uncle in front of me, who was an unattractive person and was shouting out prices at the auction, actually memorized everything within a month.

At this time, Zhang Sanqian also saw the meaning of the temple master and secretly sent a message: "Temple Master, do you want us to add another assessment link and brush off this Ergeng."

Henry Zhang shook his head slightly: "No need."

Since the second uncle has a talent for alchemy, he can cultivate it.

As for the limited lifespan, Temple Street’s investment may be in vain. This is beyond human control.

Taking a step back, if the second uncle really showed extraordinary talent in alchemy, it would not be a bad idea to purchase a life-extending elixir from outside.

At this moment, Zhang Sandou came in and said:

"Dad, there is someone outside who wants to see the temple owner."

"Come to see me?" Henry Zhang was confused, "Who is it?"

"That person didn't say that he has the seventh level of Qi Refining and is very impressive. He should be a figure among the elders of the clan."

"Then let's meet him."

After a while, a cultivator with a little stubble on his face was brought over by Zhang Dawu.

"Meet the ten elders." The man said respectfully.

"You are..."

"Zhang Hao."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"Are you Zhang Hao, the head of the Zhangjiaji Alchemy?"

"I don't dare to be the head, it's just a false name."

"I wonder what fellow Daoist Zhang Hao is here for?"

"I heard that the temple street is conducting an alchemist assessment and a batch of jade slips were issued, which recorded tens of thousands of spiritual medicines and spiritual medicine preparation methods. Is it true?"

"Really."

"That's great. I wonder if I can borrow them to take a look."

"Why not." Zhang Xuan handed over a few jade slips.

Zhang Hao took the jade slips and immersed his consciousness in them to check the contents on them.

"It's true. I didn't expect the spiritual medicine records to be so complete. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it." Zhang Hao was overjoyed.

"I wonder if I can buy one with spirit stones?" Zhang Hao asked with fiery eyes.

"This... This is hard to accumulate."

"Don't worry, just tell me how many spirit stones you need."

Zhang Hao is rich.

As the head of the Zhang family's alchemy, the elders of each clan have invited him to make pills with a lot of money, so he has naturally accumulated a lot of wealth.

He is obsessed with the art of alchemy, and seeing such a precious jade slip, of course he will not let it go.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "If Daoist Zhang Hao can train ten alchemists for my Jiuding Lake Market, these jade slips will be given to Daoist friends."

"Train ten alchemists?" Zhang Hao was a little embarrassed.

Alchemists are not so easy to train, they need talent and a lot of resources.

It's not easy to train ten in one go.
