Taoist companions help me live forever

It was the sixth month that Yu Xian came to Danfamen to make friends.

As one of the only fourth-level alchemists in the alchemy sect, Qin Miao finished refining a batch of Ying Yuan Dan, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and showed deep exhaustion in his eyes.

The Ying Yuan Pill is as high as the fourth-level low-grade, and it has a certain effect even on monks in the middle stage of Yuanying. It is one of the most suitable elixirs to assist the cultivation of early Yuanying monks.

The material cost of a furnace of Ying Yuan Dan alone is nearly eight figures.

Moreover, several of the main ingredients can only be obtained in secret realms and dangerous places. Even if the Nascent Soul Master personally takes action, it will take a lot of effort to gather a batch of elixirs.

If you are lucky, you can get it together in three to five years.

If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to delay for twenty or thirty years.

Faced with such an elixir with hard-to-find materials, even if he, a fourth-level alchemist, took action personally, he would not dare to be careless at all.

He was almost sleepless, and it took him two and a half years to successfully refine this furnace of elixir.

If his own cultivation had not reached the peak of the golden elixir, he might not have been able to sustain the elixir refining for such a long time.

The alchemy furnace is still warming up.

He had closed his eyes and fell into deep trance.

Opening the furnace to obtain the elixir is the last step in refining the elixir. In his current state, it is not safe enough and he needs to be nursed back to a perfect state.

Until half a month later.

Qin Miao opened his eyes suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the alchemy furnace was still being nourished by the spiritual fire.

He did not hesitate, but held the spell in his hand and pointed towards the alchemy furnace.

"receive!"

There was a bang.

The cauldron opened, and a ball of spiritual light flew out, about the size of a fist, and the appearance of a baby was vaguely visible.

After it flew out of the alchemy furnace, it flew around in the air, seemingly looking for a way to escape.

"It seems to be very medicinal."

Qin Miao was not surprised but happy.

The materials used to refine the fourth-level elixir are all rare in the world. Once refined into the elixir, the elixir will have a hint of spirituality, which is also the symbol of the fourth-level elixir.

Theoretically, a fourth-level elixir can be nourished and nourished by medicinal power for a long time. If it does not lose its medicinal properties, it is possible to develop spiritual wisdom and turn into an elixir demon, a natural alchemist.

However, Qin Miao only occasionally saw such strange legends in ancient alchemy books, and regarded them as the conjectures of previous alchemists.

However, it is true that the more spiritual the fourth-level elixir is, the stronger the medicine will be.

Qin Miao made a series of secrets on his hand, and the magical power was like a rope weaving a large net in the air, covering the spiritual light, and slowly dragged it to his hand.

The spiritual light fell on the palm of the hand, as if it had come into contact with the popularity. The light dimmed instantly, and it was just a spiritual elixir the size of a walnut and shaped like a crystal ball.

There seemed to be an indistinct little baby curled up in the elixir.

"The body of the elixir is clear, the medicinal power is strong, and it is a top-grade elixir."

Qin Miao looked happy, turned over his hand and took out an ice jade box that exuded cold air, carefully put the Ying Yuan Dan in, and then sealed it with a magic talisman to prevent the medicine from overflowing.

This furnace of pills is finally finished.

Qin Miao's expression relaxed visibly, as if a huge boulder had been lifted from his heart.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"If I screw up this furnace elixir, I want to break through to the Nascent Soul, but I don't know how long I will have to wait."

Over the years, he has been walking on thin ice in the alchemy sect, not daring to make any mistakes.

Unlike the formation mage, the level of the alchemist is not completely limited by his own cultivation. Foundation-building monks can also refine third-level elixirs, but the probability is lower.

As the only fourth-level alchemist in the alchemy sect, he only has the golden elixir realm.

Originally, he did not want to reveal his level as a fourth-level alchemist, fearing that it might arouse the suspicion and persecution of True Lord Fire Pill.

But the third-level alchemy master’s money came in too slowly.

By refining a furnace of third-level spiritual elixirs, as an alchemist, he can theoretically obtain tens to hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones.

But these spiritual stones need to be divided into alchemy sects, so he can only take a small head.

So even less was given to him.

At the same time, if he fails, he will not only waste a lot of time, but he will also be fined.

After all, as an alchemy platform, the Alchemy Sect has to guarantee its reputation and cannot let its own alchemists do whatever they want.

If the alchemist is in a bad mood and deliberately smashes all the guests' elixirs, the alchemist will have to pay compensation in the end.

The unspoken rules for alchemists cannot be applied here.

The so-called unspoken rule of alchemists is that if an ordinary monk wants to find an alchemist to refine his own elixir, all materials are usually included, and no compensation will be paid if he fails. If he succeeds, he will give the alchemist 10% to 30% of the market price.

But if Danfamen wants to show its competitiveness, it is naturally impossible to use this unspoken rule as a rule.

Otherwise, the materials that people have worked so hard to find will cause harm to others in a few moments, which will not only damage your reputation, but also easily offend others.

The Alchemy School can make elixirs for many monks and charges a high price. It relies on the guarantee of success rate. Otherwise, why would people come to the Alchemy School to make elixirs.

Qin Miao knew that in name he was a noble alchemist, but in fact he was just a wage earner in the alchemy sect.

Not only him, but most of the spiritual stones earned by all alchemists will flow to True Lord Fire Pill as the foundation for True Lord Fire Pill's cultivation.

However, the reason why the Alchemy Sect can gather so many alchemists cannot be due to the violent rule of True Lord Fire Alchemy. Instead, it has left a relatively healthy path for many alchemists to rise.

Alchemy apprentices who do not enter the advanced level are pure bullshit.

They were taught alchemy knowledge free of charge by the alchemy sect and were provided with food and accommodation, but they were not provided with any compensation for their labor and had to be driven by the alchemists as they pleased.

First-level alchemists begin to have their own alchemy rooms and receive alchemy rewards, but they must complete the alchemy tasks assigned by the alchemy sect in a fixed amount every year.

But the reward for alchemy is about 30% of that of an outside individual alchemist of the same level.

The same is true for second- and third-level alchemists, but the relative rewards are higher.

Only when you reach the fourth level as an alchemist can you have complete autonomy. Not only do you get all the alchemy rewards for yourself, but you also get subsidies from the alchemy method.

Therefore, the income of a fourth-level alchemist and a third-level alchemist differs dozens of times.

Therefore, Qin Miao knew that this was risky, but he still took the risk to expose his true level.

As for why he didn't just start a new business with others and make more money.

Naturally, it is because of insufficient strength.

In the Alchemy Sect, only the Fire Alchemist Zhenjun around him could be a threat to him.

But after stepping out of the alchemy method, once one's own alchemy level is exposed, the strength is not enough to protect oneself.

I think other Nascent Soul Lords would not mind having an extra Danu under their command.

Many other alchemists are in such a dilemma.

Moreover, they were trained by the alchemy method and had the gift of teaching and teaching. Secondly, they had many colleagues who exchanged skills and made rapid progress.

Finally, with the big platform of Dan Method, they can have stable orders and refine more elixirs.

If you really become a Sanren alchemist, you are free. But whether you can continue to refine alchemy depends on your personal reputation and strength. Practice is not as convenient as the alchemy method.

In the end, speaking truthfully, you may not be able to earn as many spiritual stones as those from the Dan method, and there may be threats from all sides.

And he still doesn’t have a high status in the alchemy sect.

Alchemists who come out of the Alchemy Sect are naturally superior to others.

However, unlike others, the reason why Qin Miao has a strong sense of crisis, as if he is suffering from delusions of being persecuted, is because of his true identity.

As a remnant of the Alchemist Society, the predecessor of the Alchemy Sect, Qin Miao knew that once his identity was exposed, he would definitely be struck by the Thunder Lord Fire Alchemy.

Even if he doesn't recognize his identity at all.

He was obviously kind-hearted at the beginning, taking care of an old man who was seriously ill and dying, and wanted to get some alchemy recipes and skills from the old man.

As a result, he inherited the position of the 26th president of the Alchemist Society out of nowhere.

He doesn't want to be this damn president at all.

However, it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not. The key is whether True Lord Fire Pill is willing to admit it or not.

And he has indeed received a lot of benefits from the Alchemist Society in recent years.

Being able to become a fourth-level alchemist depends not only on his own qualifications, but also on the various inheritances accumulated by the alchemist society.

But after he became a fourth-level alchemist, the Academy could no longer provide him with any help, and instead had to suck blood from him.

In order to save his own life, he had to shoulder the responsibility of the president and try his best to protect the development of the Alchemist Society under the eyes of True Lord Fire Pill.

Therefore, he wants to break through the Nascent Soul realm more than anyone else.

Only strength can allow him to save his life after being exposed.

"Damn it, after saving for so many years, I still haven't collected enough spiritual stones. The Infant Transformation Pill is still far away from me."

Qin Miao calculated the reward he received after refining the Ying Yuan Dan. Adding in his past accumulation, it was less than 50 million spirit stones.

The Infant Transformation Pill is also a fourth-level elixir, so theoretically he can refine it himself.

However, the formula of Huaying Dan is a secret that has not been passed down among the people at all. I am afraid that only large sects like Xuanyang Sect have it in their collection.

Moreover, the main material for refining the Infant Transformation Pill must be extremely precious, and even the ordinary Nascent Soul Lord cannot even imagine getting it.

Otherwise, Xuanyang Sect would only have more Nascent Soul cultivators.

"I only wish I hadn't been born five hundred years earlier."

Qin Miao sighed.

Five hundred years ago, it was the alchemist and weapon refiner society that spent more than ten generations to support the breakthrough of True Lord Fire Alchemy. This was the reason why the dove occupied the magpie's nest and the public became private.

If he could have been born five hundred years earlier, he might not be able to compete with True Lord Fire Pill, so there would be no need to be as frightened as he is now.

Qin Miao suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, adjusted his breath again, and then opened the cave's restriction, threw out the transmission talisman, and informed the disciple of the True Monarch who stayed behind at the elixir sect that the elixir was ready.

This Ying Yuan Dan was entrusted by him to be refined by True Lord Yuan Liang. It could save him decades of practice, so he kept his disciples waiting.

Once the refining is successful, he will come and get it himself.

Two days later.

True Lord Yuanliang, who was cultivating in Donghua Tiancheng, arrived in a hurry. After receiving the elixir, he was very satisfied. Not only did he pay the reward on the spot, but he also bluntly said that he owed a favor.

Qin Miao dealt with it and spent a lot of effort before sending True Lord Yuanliang away, but he was in a good mood.

Favors can be big or small, and they might be able to save his life if necessary.

Just as he was sorting out the recent affairs of the alchemy sect, especially the news about the alchemist society that had been secretly sent to him, a visitor suddenly arrived.

"Lin Lu? What's the point of meeting him? Not meeting him."

Qin Miao frowned and refused to the alchemy apprentice who was waiting for him.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of True Lord Fire Pill towards him, he has always been reclusive and taciturn. He never communicates too much with the alchemists in his sect and has a reputation of being withdrawn in his sect.

Lin Lu's identity was that of one of the stewards of Lingdan Pavilion, and it was even more unlikely that he would have anything to do with him.

Lingdan Pavilion is one of the pockets of the Alchemy Sect.

He went crazy and went to tease the Lord Fire Pill's nerves.

Even though Lord Fire Pill himself may not care about it, he still needs to avoid making mistakes in small matters and details.

But the alchemy apprentice reaped the benefits and knew that his master was in a good mood in the past two days. At this moment, he had the courage to say:

"Sir, it's not that Alchemist Lin wants to see you, but that he is entrusted by another alchemist named Zhou and wants to introduce you to you.

I heard that this Alchemist Zhou came from outside and wanted to exchange skills with the alchemists of our alchemy sect.

The adults are all refining elixirs these days, and may not know what is happening outside.

It is said that Master Zhou had an extraordinary background and was extremely generous.

Many alchemists who had communicated with him not only praised his superb skills, but also received generous gifts afterwards.

This time, in order to ask for some advice from the adults, he specially prepared some thoughts..."

Qin Miao was stunned for a moment, remembering that he still had a long way to go with the Infant Transformation Pill, and stopped his apprentice to ask.

"Are you sure that this Alchemist Zhou is just communicating about alchemy?"

The apprentice said: "Alchemist Zhou has been here for more than half a year, and he has devoted himself to studying alchemy. He has seen as many as eighty alchemists, if not a hundred. This can be true.

I heard that even Mr. Zhenjun wanted to summon him and invite him to join the Alchemy Sect. "

Hearing this, Qin Miao looked through the fresh news in his hand again and confirmed that it was almost the same as what the apprentice said.

This week's alchemist is indeed an alchemy-like figure.

In just over half a year since I came to the Alchemy Sect, I have visited more than a dozen third-level alchemy masters and nearly a hundred second-level alchemy masters. I also participated in several small-scale alchemy exchange meetings and put forward many novel opinions. His attainments in alchemy are not shallow.

The news from the society also meant for him to win over Master Zhou.

Qin Miao thought for a while and said, "Since Alchemist Zhou is so thoughtful, it doesn't hurt to meet him and invite him in. But Alchemist Lin doesn't need to come in."

"Yes, sir."

The apprentice resigned and left.

After half a cup of tea, the apprentice led a rough man in.

"Master Qin, it's really not easy to meet you."

Yu Xian looked at the handsome Qin Miao with an unexplainable smile on his face.

Although the tone was a bit wrong, Qin Miao decided not to care too much considering what was coming.

He dismissed the apprentice and showed a standard smile.

"Alchemist Zhou was joking. Qin is a hard worker. If Master Zhou came two days later, Qin might have to make elixirs for some monk again.

I heard that Alchemist Zhou visited Mr. Qin because he had some questions about alchemy. He might as well speak up and let everyone communicate together. "

Yu Xian remained silent and did not speak.

Qin Miao frowned and felt a little panicked. He felt that something was wrong with the entire cave since Alchemist Zhou came in.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had just refined a furnace of Ying Yuan Dan and received a favor from a True Lord, which made him lose a lot of vigilance.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw the air in front of him become distorted and endless pressure came over him.

"True Lord..."

The peak level of Jin Dan's cultivation is enough for him to have a certain reaction, but it is only a certain reaction, and he can't do anything.

He was like a bug sealed in amber. The scenery in front of him turned into a kaleidoscope. There was an overwhelming sound in his ears. He tried hard to block it, but he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

Three hours later.

Qin Miao shook his head, looked at Yu Xian who was smiling in front of him, and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Master Zhou, I was a little distracted just now. What are you talking about?"

Yu Xian cupped his hands and said, "It's nothing. Thank you Master Qin for your advice. Zhou has benefited a lot from this. Please be careful, so I hope you won't refuse."

He took out a brocade box and opened it. There was a Ten Thousand Years Purple Dragon Ginseng King inside.

Qin Miao's blood surged with a casual glance.

It was just a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king. Although it was precious, it should not make him so excited. However, when he thought that it was a gift from Alchemist Zhou, he felt deeply ashamed.

"Alchemist Zhou, what are you doing?!"

Qin Miao snorted coldly: "You and I hit it off as old friends, and we exchanged alchemy experiences with each other. How could we be coveting your gift?

If you do this, you are committing injustice on me. If you still consider me a friend, please take it back. "

Yu Xian said: "Alchemist Qin, don't be surprised. This is Zhou's intention and the rule. Master Qin's friendship with me is true, and your unwillingness to accept my gift is also your sincerity.

But if this case is opened, how will other alchemists be able to accept Zhou's gifts in the future, and how will they be willing to communicate with Zhou about alchemy.

So Master Qin should accept it. "

Qin Miao said: "What's so difficult about this? I only tell others that I have accepted Brother Zhou's gift. Not only that, I also need to praise him greatly.

Brother Zhou, please rest assured that I will never break your rules.

But Brother Zhou should take the gift back. "

"That's fine."

In my spare time, I followed the good deeds and stopped persuading me. I put away the King of Ginseng.

Seeing Yu Xian being so straightforward, Qin Miao blinked and felt something was wrong, but he was quite satisfied to see Yu Xian giving him face like this.

"That's right."

"Next time Brother Zhou wants to talk to me about alchemy, just come directly. I tell the boy not to stop him."

"Haha, then I will disturb Brother Qin from now on."

Yu Xian bowed his hands and said goodbye.

The apprentice sent Yu Xian away and walked into the cave to report. When he saw his master smiling for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"My lord, I haven't been so happy for a long time."

Qin Miao smiled and nodded: "After communicating with Brother Zhou, although I felt like I didn't say anything, I felt inexplicably happy. No wonder other alchemists are full of praise for Brother Zhou."

The apprentice couldn't help but stay for a moment.

We've been together for more than three hours and haven't said anything yet.

But then I thought about it, maybe it was because the secret exchange between the two adults made it difficult to tell him more, so I tried to prevaricate him.

Qin Miao then ordered that Master Zhou should come in directly without notification if he wanted to come in. He also told the public that Master Zhou had sent a ten-thousand-year-old purple dragon ginseng king.

The apprentice was even more confused.

Everyone knows that their master is withdrawn and does not like to communicate with outsiders. It is really rare that he hit it off with Alchemist Zhou and even helped promote it.

But he didn't ask any more questions, and replied that he would stand down.

"Perhaps we can discuss the learned matters with Brother Zhou. As the saying goes, one person can think of a shortcoming, but two can make a difference. This matter is in my heart, and it is really uncomfortable. If someone can share the burden, maybe I can help me think of a solution."

An idea popped up in Qin Miao's mind for no reason, and it lingered in his mind, unable to get rid of it.

He unconsciously trusts Yu Xian and is willing to share his biggest secrets with him. (End of chapter)
