The Stairway to Immortality

The two walked to a room and opened the door to enter, Zhao Shiyu asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here, aren't you going

to the Dan secret room?" Xiao Chong looked at Zhao Shiyu and said, "You are stupid, of course the secret room has to be hidden, just take out the token and put it down at your feet."

Zhao Shiyu put the token down on the ground, and the red bricks on the ground were paved as usual, no different from the normal ground.

When the token fell to the ground, a voice suddenly came from his head, and the urn said angrily, "Tell me your name?"

Zhao Shiyu replied, "Zhao Shiyu"

Xiao Chong next to him also reported his name, and after a while, the ground lit up, and a magic weapon like a wine cup appeared on the heads of the two of them, which suddenly became bigger and fell, and detained the two of them underneath.

Zhao Shiyu was a little panicked at this time, it was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, only the streamer flickered under his feet, and there were three cups of tea, and the upside-down "big wine cup" slowly flew up.

Zhao Shiyu found that there was no change in the surroundings and the original room, and before he could ask, he heard Xiao Chong say, "Take the token, let's go out, we can't stay here for too long, otherwise the ban will be triggered."

Xiao Chong knew that Zhao Shiyu would ask, so he spoke out first because he was slow to speak, so as not to stay in this room longer, and once the mechanism in the house was activated, he would be punished.

The two of them walked out of the room, Zhao Shiyu felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, he and Xiao Chong were standing in a rotunda, surrounded by such rooms, there could be twenty or thirty rooms, a straight road in front of them, and a gust of hot wind blowing on the face.

Xiao Chong smiled and said, "Brother Shi Yu, why did you change into a disciple's uniform and come in again, and use the Isolation Array Bell to detain the two of us, look at the front, you should understand, the secret room of the Dan must be kept secret, no one here knows where it is, it is completely confidential."

Zhao Shiyu seemed to understand a little, but asked "What's the matter with this dress?" It is also for secrecy?" Xiao

Chong said in a soft and slow voice, "Wearing this dress can prevent high temperatures, and the pill can't be put in the sleeves, and you can't detect and perceive the surrounding situation when you put on the clothes, and when I go back to tell you, I'll be there soon, and I'll go back to work, alas..."

Xiao Chong shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "No, when I am practicing, I will be taken seriously, and when I have a replacement seat, I will find a way to change my job.

Zhao Shiyu looked at Xiao Chong a little lost, and no longer asked him questions, the two walked through a long corridor, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and a huge square came into view, with thousands of big Dan furnaces neatly arranged in front of them.

The square is surrounded by a circle of snow-white walls, at this time, with a whirring white air, Xiao Chong took out the token and said a few words inside, and Zhao Shiyu was still shocked by this spectacular scene, more than a thousand Dan furnaces stood on the square like giants, and the round belly was bubbling with various colors, and the medicinal fragrance and heat were directly on the face.

The two of them waited in place, and a woman in a red dress walked in the distance, she had a red hairband on her head, she was well-proportioned, thin and beautiful, her cherry mouth exuded a seductive luster, white as snow, her chest was slightly raised, not too proud but very tall, the woman slowly walked in front of the two, smiled and said, "Xiao Chong, this is Zhao Shiyu" Xiao Chong nodded yes.

Zhao Shiyu hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Senior Sister Eve, I came to report today, and I will listen to your command in the future."

Xiao Chong's face was black, thinking that this guy was strange when he spoke, Eve covered his mouth and smiled, "Elder Duan gave you some errand, tell me about it, and I will take you there."

Zhao Shiyu looked at the Dan furnace in front of him and said, "Senior Sister Ai, Elder Duan asked me to look at the Dan furnace and let me be responsible for looking at the Dan furnace on the right."

After hearing this, Eve looked Zhao Shiyu up and down again, and said while looking, "You come with me, by the way, Xiao Chong will go back to you, I'm sorry for you." Xiao

Chong turned around and left, he still had a lot of work, and he would talk to Zhao Shiyu later, and he had to find the exercises that had been delayed here.

Eve walked in front, Zhao Shiyu followed closely behind her, Eve said as she walked, "Little junior brother Zhao Shiyu, you will follow me in the future, first inject the silver crown on your head into the aura, and then the disciple clothes."

Zhao Shiyu nodded and hurriedly did so, when the aura was injected, the silver crown on the top of the head emitted cool air from the top of the head and flowed down again, this disciple suit was lined with a cool breeze rushing out, and instantly Zhao Shiyu didn't feel that it was hot here, and after a while, the two walked to a stone platform, Eve pointed to the ground with his hand, and the stone platform under his feet slowly flew up, and kept rising, rising to the point where all the Dan furnaces could be observed at a glance, Eve took out the token and shook the stone platform to stop, two steps in front of the stone platform, and went up a circular transparent platform, standing on it as if in the air。

Eve stepped up to the platform first, turned around and saw Zhao Shiyu staying in place motionless, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, the top is very flat and stable, let's observe the Dan furnace below."

Zhao Shiyu walked down the stone platform carefully, stood on the transparent steps, slowly raised his feet and put it down carefully, for fear of stepping on the transparent platform, his legs trembled and looked at the Dan furnace below, the medicinal gas slowly floated up, and he was extremely afraid in his heart.

Eve giggled and said, "Don't worry, you won't be compensated for stepping on it, don't be afraid, you won't break no matter how you step on it."

As soon as Zhao Shiyu heard this, he looked at Eve, and then thought about how stupid he was, and he would still be able to chase the wind and lightning, what was there to be afraid of.

Taking a deep breath, he jokingly said, "Senior Sister Eve, I'm relieved if you say that, is it really broken? Just step on it and don't let me pay for it, Senior Sister, what do you think of the Dan Furnace? Hey? It seems that you can look at all the Dan Furnaces at a glance, hehe, it's okay, Senior Sister, you rest, I'll just come and see."

Eve is a kind woman, with a good personality, and she is even happier to coax herself to this Zhao Shiyu junior brother, she smiled and said, "No need, my senior sister has to take care of you, this little junior brother, sit down, this is very clean, this is a dustless crystal ring is a large magic weapon, it can ensure the cleanliness of the Dan secret room."

Zhao Shiyu was not polite, sat down directly, and then Eve also sat down, Eve opened his mouth to explain how to look at the Dan furnace, the different colors of the Dan furnace out of the pill breath, what happens when there is an abnormality?

Zhao Shiyu listened to Eve talk about things here, Zhao Shiyu took out two teacups from the ring, poured a cup of tea for Eve and handed it over, Eve nodded slightly and took Zhao Shiyu's tea and continued to talk, Eve felt that this average-looking kid was really good, very considerate and sensible, so he talked about many interesting things about Dan Pharmacy and some well-known Dan medicines while drinking tea.

Only by understanding Zhao Shiyu did he know that all kinds of medicinal materials were transported in, and they could only be made into pills after many processes, and the herbaceous medicinal materials needed to be dried and ground and cut into fine processing, and their juice would be taken after soaking them in water.

Next, the raw materials of the medicinal materials are distributed and arranged, put them in proportion, and wait for the pharmacist to process them, which is what the group medicine room does.

Finally, the medicinal materials come to us, put them into the Dan furnace to prepare for alchemy, the Dan pharmacist puts the medicinal materials into the Dan furnace, ignites the fire and starts alchemy, the Dan Tong continues to add firewood, and after the Dan furnace reaches a certain temperature, the medicine fan is used to control the flame, so that the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace are gradually formed, and the Dan pharmacist will come to make the Dan medicine into a ball, three times a day every day, the Dan furnace is the Dan ball first, and the medicine ball water vapor is all evaporated to become a pill.

When the pills are baked, all the pills are graded first, and after the number of pills is counted, they are sent to the pill management pharmacy, and the disciples of the pharmacy will be packed into the pill bottle according to the level and type of the pill, and the waste pill or abnormal pill will be sent to the waste pill warehouse, and the finished pill will be taken away by each peak or by the deacons and elders of the outer gate and the inner gate.

Only then did Zhao Shiyu understand that the original Menpai Dan Pharmacy managed and distributed the pills in this way, and filled Eve's teacups, and took out pastries and fruits for Eve from time to time, which made Eve's like herself more and let her tell her more stories to herself.

After more than an hour, the story was finished, and the food was almost finished, Eve smiled and said, "You are tired or want to cultivate, there is a small secret room on the mountain wall, I can watch it alone, this is a big cave, you want to see the outside with your hand under the dustless crystal ring, inject the aura."

Eve used her charming smile to reach out and point the crystal ring, Zhao Shiyu looked at the crystal ring under her buttocks, and injected the aura with the palm of her hand, a crystal flashed "Oops" and was surprised to see the platform square in front of the alchemy mountain, just now I was in the mood to look around by the broken wooden horse, it turned out that this platform square was made of wood.

On the crystal ring, you can see the busy disciples outside moving in and out of the medicinal materials, and you can see the blue sky and white clouds when you move your mind.

Zhao Shiyu looked at it for a while, looked sideways at Eve and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Eve, this is like letting your eyes out

, can you see it anywhere?" Eve smiled and said, "Little fool, you can see this place at the door, or this will become a hidden treasure mirror."

Zhao Shiyu snickered in his heart, remembering that he had such a treasure mirror in his wooden bracelet, Zhao Shiyu in the secret room of the Dan was even more leisurely, and he watched the medicinal qi of the Dan furnace slowly surging upwards when he had nothing to do, and it was extremely hot in this big cave, but the two people on the crystal ring did not care, one sat cross-legged to cultivate, and the other climbed on the crystal ring and looked down leisurely.

At this time, the medicine boys in the square below were very busy, some took out the wood from the hidden ring and put it under the Dan furnace, and then added a few pieces of raw carbon, and then took out a fan and fanned it, slightly fanning out the wind to balance the fire at the bottom of the furnace, and quickly checked the fire of the next furnace when the fire was about to be seen.

"Senior Sister Eve, how can they sweat? Aren't they all wearing pill disciple suits?" asked Shizi as he climbed on the crystal ring and looked up at Eve.

Eve looked at Zhao Shiyu with a smile and said, "Our disciple clothes are not the same, the medicine boy below is learning to work with the pill pharmacist, wearing an ordinary disciple suit, you must use your body to perceive the temperature of each Dan furnace, so that you can control the firepower, and only then can you know whether the pill in the Dan furnace is good."

Shi Zi nodded in understanding, and after seeing that they were busy, all the medicine boys returned to the lounge, and the entire Danlu Square became silent again.

The two people on the remaining crystal ring looked at the Dan furnace, and after Zhao Shiyu understood it thoroughly, he asked again, "Senior sister, these medicine boys in the door are tired enough, how long can they stay in the door before they can sit in the medicine boy?"

Eve also liked this new junior brother very much, and he answered all the questions carefully.

"Three years, just like you, after entering the mountain gate and interested in the elixir, I trained to be a medicine boy, starting from identifying medicinal materials and medicinal material processing methods, and within three years of continuous learning, I began to watch the furnace to learn alchemy skills.

Zhao Shiyu smiled and replied, "Senior Sister Aifu, do you know how to do alchemy?Do you have any girls in the Dan Medicine Master?" Aifu

chuckled and said proudly, "Of course I will, can't it be Senior Sister?" My family is a family of pills, and since I was a child, I have been able to use the Xiao Dan furnace and eat the alchemy myself.

Zhao Shiyu looked at Eve with envy and said, "I want to know alchemy, I have also read a few herbal books in the library pavilion, but I think it is difficult, I am not a fire physique spirit root, and alchemy is even more hopeless."

Eve took out a book from the ring and handed it to Zhao Shiyu and said, "Take a look, I will practice and play by myself in the future, the book is written and played by myself, and it contains my own experience in refining medicine."

Zhao Shiyu took the book, immediately got up and bowed, sat down next to Eve and picked up the teapot, just about to pour another cup of tea for Eve, found that the tea was gone, put away the teapot and took out a pot of tea for Eve, Eve took a small sip, this Qianqianyu hand with the cherry mouth made people look drunk, but Zhao Shiyu didn't feel Eve's beauty.

After taking a sip of tea, Eve opened her mouth and praised, "This tea is warm and cool in the abdomen, and the aroma is overflowing, it is really good tea, and it is not bad to drink some tea occasionally when practicing."

Zhao Shiyu smirked and said, "I just think it's delicious and drink it, as for what kind of tea it is, don't ask me, senior sister, I have a lot of pots here, and if you drink it hard, you will be full."

Eve felt that this little junior brother was really cute, but he was stupid but very good at hurting people, reached out and held the crystal ring and looked at the sky and said, "You go to rest first, there is me here, you can rest in peace, no one will disturb you."

Zhao Shiyu just wanted to thank Aifu, and a voice came from under the square, this was Duan Jinshan's voice, and he said, "Open the furnace and take out the pill, get ready." His

voice was extremely thick, Duan Jinshan said something in his mouth, his hands leaned up, the lid of the Dan furnace slowly rose, and he vaguely saw a light appear under the lid of the Dan furnace, at this time, there was no trace of Dan Qi coming out, and the huge furnace lid then slowly fell to the ground, a furnace can produce a hundred pills, and they turned wildly in the furnace, only to see Duan Jinshan go to the next Dan furnace, and at this time, several Dan pharmacists came out of the lounge and were busy opening the Dan furnace together.

All the medicine boys came out, in groups of two, one person held a tray in his hand and placed a soup basin with transparent liquid, and the other person took a small water scoop and walked to the Kaigaidan furnace to splash the fire with a water scoop, and the very strange transparent liquid was splashed on the fire, and there would be no smoke.

If the smoke is allowed to smoke the elixir, the elixir will immediately lose its effect, and when the elixir in the furnace falls into the furnace and waits motionlessly, the temperature in this big cave is as hot as purgatory, and the air is bent into a dream like a devil dancing.

Under such high temperatures, the medicine boys were protected by ice talismans to avoid being scorched and injured, and several disciples in green robes waited for a long time with empty pill bottles in their hands.

There is also a disciple dressed in gray, he is holding a blue jar at the door of the lounge, the Dan Pharmacist and Duan Jinshan of the Dan Pharmacy have left, Zhao Shiyu can see clearly and seriously on it, but Eve next to him closes his eyes and sits up, indifferent to everything that happens below, the medicine boys are casting spells at this time to collect the finished pills in the Dan furnace and put them in the tray, and the other medicine boy brings the medicine in the tray to the disciple wearing the turquoise suit, and the two of them put the pills into the Dan bottle after counting.

After all the work was done, the disciple in gray clothes looked sleepy, and first sighed, and then said, "There is no waste pill today, right? The

medicine boys picked up the tray and brought the small water ladle, and left with the empty soup basin.

Zhao Shiyu saw that everyone was gone, looked at Eve and asked, "Senior sister, senior sister, does it need to be so cumbersome to collect pills?" I think a few people can do these things, and then what is in that soup pot

?". Eve slowly opened her eyes and said, "There are many procedures for opening the furnace to take the pill, and there are many people, only in this way can we ensure that the pill will not be lost, it will not be stolen, and it will not be exchanged for the pill, from the collection of the pill to the pill is supervised, the cultivator's pill is the most expensive item, be careful so as not to make mistakes, do you say that the water in the white jade basin? That is the ice slurry can completely extinguish the fire, and it can also absorb smoke, there is a five-grade ghost-eyed cold ice salamander in the animal courtyard inside the door, and the ice slurry is scraped from it, which is specially used to extinguish the Dan furnace fire."

After Zhao Shiyu understood, Eve smiled and said, "You go and rest, don't worry about me, I know you're embarrassed to rest, it's okay, it's perfect for me to practice here, okay, go and rest." "

Actually, Zhao Shiyu wanted to rest for a long time, it's very good here but it feels a little boring, Zhao Shiyu got up and thanked Eve, went straight to the mountain wall that Eve said, picked up the token in his hand and shook it against the mountain wall, a stone slab rose, there was a small corridor inside, Zhao Shiyu looked at it, the crystal ring was still some distance from the mountain wall, and jumped into the cave corridor, there was a big medicine carving at the end of the corridor, there were two small doors on the left and right walls, Zhao Shiyu reached out and pushed open the door on the left, and entered the house The decoration is very simple, the white wall, a table, a chair, and a bamboo bed。

Tong Muhe flew out of his sleeve, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he exclaimed, "Sure enough, the alchemy place of the Great Gate Sect is so secret, let me ask you which mountain we are in now."

Zhao Shiyu looked at Tong Muhe and sneered, "You drink stupidly, of course it's the Medicine Sword Peak."

Tong Muhe shook his head and said, "If you are the head of the mountain, will you put such an important place on the surface

?" Zhao Shiyu said very solemnly, "You also saw the crystal ring, does it clearly show that it is the Medicine Sword Peak?"

Tong Muhe continued to shake his head and said, "I just wanted to bet with you, when I think of you, you idiot, there is nothing good, you take out the mirror and see if you understand?"

Zhao Shiyu pursed his lips, took out the bronze mirror and injected aura, two bats flew out behind the mirror, and their wings disappeared into the lounge, and the mirror suddenly lit up, Zhao Shiyu pointed to the mirror in surprise and said, "No, this is that?

Zhao Shiyu looked in the mirror curiously, Tong Muhe was really right, they hid the alchemy secret room in a mysterious place.

Tong Muhe said proudly at this time, "The yellow-haired boy said that you are a fool and don't believe it, how many people have worked hard to create a mountain gate, once there is a loss, the loss will inevitably be minimized, remember, hahaha, quickly put away the mirror so as not to be discovered."

Zhao Shiyu obediently put away the bronze mirror, sat on the chair and thought for a while, Tong Muhe said again, "Quickly take out the hidden cultivation domain, we haven't seen it like that, take it out quickly, don't think about other things, do something serious."

Zhao Shiyu took out a fist-sized hermit cultivation domain from the wooden box, looked at it and said, "It seems to be a black ash group, is it a star ash wrapped in the hermit cultivation domain?"

Tong Muhe was also helpless, Zhao Shiyu sometimes likes to make his own opinions, and now he asks himself everywhere.

Tong Muhe urged: "Then what are you doing? Take out the jade bottle and collect the star ashes, and keep them for you to practice."

After hearing this, Zhao Shiyu happily took out the dagger given by Mo Lao, and slowly scraped the star ash of the melting law.
