Chapter 74 Acceptance of Alchemy
Nie Yixiong looked into Miao Dinghai’s eyes expressionlessly, as if he could see the doubts in the other man’s heart before he died.
“You know something you shouldn’t know, so I can only kill you.”
From Miao Dinghai’s description, Nie Yixiong inferred that Song Jie’s identity may not be as simple as it seems.
A monk who has just entered the third level of the Qi Refining Stage does not rely on the help of external objects such as elixirs and talismans, but only relies on his own spells and body skills.
It can kill the monks at the fifth level of Qi refining stage. This itself has a big problem.
Even if this monk at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage is not good at learning, he will not be killed by a monk who has just entered the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Therefore, Nie Yixiong speculated that Song Jie might have another hidden identity.
As far as he knew, there were some children from big families who, at the beginning of their cultivation, would hide their identities and go to places where low-level monks lived to hone their abilities in various aspects.
On the surface, the children of such a big family only have one person, but they are usually protected by guardians behind the scenes.
Recalling the discussion he heard from his subordinates a few days ago, Song Jie gave up the opportunity to join the Alchemy Sect and chose to stay in Xinyuefang City to sell elixirs.
This undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion.
For a casual cultivator with no identity background, it is almost impossible to give up the opportunity of joining the Alchemy Sect.
But Song Jie chose to give up, which showed that the other party didn’t care about joining the Alchemy Sect at all.
Combining this information, Nie Yixiong easily came to the conclusion that the power behind Song Jie was probably no less than that of the Danding Sect.
At least it is at the same level as the Alchemy Sect, and may even be a larger force than the Alchemy Sect.
It was based on these considerations that Nie Yixiong decided to kill Miao Dinghai.
Keep the information to yourself first, and wait until the investigation is clear before making the next step.
If there really was a huge force behind Song Jie that he couldn’t afford to offend, he would still have room to turn before everything came to a standstill.
“It seems this matter is not as simple as I thought.”
Nie Yixiong stared directly at the deep bamboo forest in front of him. After a moment, he murmured: “Song Jie…”
I was silent for a long time, listening to the rustling wind in the bamboo forest.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Nie Yixiong called two of his men.
“This person is here to defraud and obtain spiritual stone rewards. Throw him out to feed the monsters.”
“Yes, the boss!”
The two saluted Nie Yixiong, and then quickly took Miao Dinghai’s body and head away from the place.
After watching the backs of his two men disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, Nie Yixiong sighed.
Then he turned around, sat down leisurely, picked up the fishing rod, and continued fishing.
……
Time is ticking by.
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.
In the past few days, Song Jie was refining elixirs and practicing as usual while guarding against possible attacks.
Fortunately, everything was a near miss, and the expected danger did not appear.
It seemed that Miu Dingshan was the only witness. After his death, no one knew that he had killed Nie Yixiong’s brother.
No matter what, Song Jie never slacked off at all and always had one thing in mind.
Although this takes some effort, it is better than being unprepared and being killed.
After refining another pot of Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pills, Song Jie couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Finally, all the medicinal materials have been refined into elixirs.”
Because of the previous research and development of Mi Shen Pills and the matter of Miao Dingshan, a lot of time was delayed.
In order to refine the elixir as soon as possible, Song Jie almost always uses Qingming Nether Fire to refine elixirs these days.
Take Fuling Pills at the same time to speed up the recovery of spiritual power.
The result of this is that the cost of alchemy increases, but the efficiency is actually improved a lot.
At the same time, proficiency is also improved faster than before, and naturally more skill points are obtained.
“Unconsciously, I have so many types of elixirs.”
Song Jie chuckled.
The power-accumulating pills and barrier-breaking pills he bought from Baodan Tower were both medium-quality first-class elixirs.
Among them, the accumulative pills come in three bottles, and two bottles contain six pills.
The Barrier Breaking Pill comes in a bottle, and just one pill costs ten spiritual stones.
As for the Mishen Pills that Song Jie made himself, they were also packed into a bottle.
This time, he had good luck and successfully refined two Mishen pills. In terms of quality, they were naturally inferior first-grade elixirs.
“The Mi Shen Pill will not be sold to the outside world for the time being. It is better to keep this elixir suitable for Yin people for your own use.
“As for the Rejuvenation Pills and Fuling Pills, when we go to the stall tomorrow, we will sell one bottle of the Rejuvenating Pills and two bottles of the Fuling Pills.
“This way I can keep two bottles of each for myself in case of emergency.”
On the market, the price of the Rejuvenation Pill is basically the same as that of Fuling Pill.
Therefore, Song Jie’s low-quality rejuvenation pills, which come in a bottle of five pills, are priced at two spiritual stones per bottle.
After planning the elixirs to be sold at the stall tomorrow, Song Jie put all the elixirs to be sold into the medicine box.
Then he walked out of the kitchen and into the yard.
Looking up at the picturesque sunset on the horizon, Song Jie couldn’t help but feel good.
“It looks like the weather will be nice tomorrow~”
Smiling slightly, he was ready to start practicing spells and movements.
“Knock knock knock~”
Suddenly, a knock on the door came from outside.
Song Jie was just feeling relaxed, but suddenly became tense.
I was thinking that there might be another witness to blackmail me.
Before he could have any more thoughts, another familiar voice came from outside the door.
“Brother Song, are you at home?”
After hearing Shi Lei’s voice, Song Jie’s tense heartstrings relaxed again.
“Yes, brother Shi, wait a moment, I’ll open the door right now.”
After Song Jie responded, he immediately walked to the gate.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shi Lei saying with a smile on his face: “Brother Song, I have already built the alchemy furnace you commissioned.”
“So fast, Brother Shi is really fast!” Song Jie’s eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with joy.
The alchemy furnace that I had been looking forward to for several days was finally built.
“It could have been faster. I received an order from an old customer a few days ago and asked me to help him repair a first-grade spiritual weapon.
“The other party was more anxious, so I helped him repair the first-grade spiritual weapon first, but it made Brother Song wait for a long time.”
Shi Lei scratched his head in embarrassment.
Song Jie laughed, “It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry to use it anyway.”
Shi Lei nodded and said, “Brother Song, are you free at the moment?
“Come to my house and see if the alchemy furnace meets your needs…
“If there are any areas that need to be adjusted, I will help you adjust them on the spot.”
“Brother Shi made it with his own hands. It must meet my needs.”
Song Jie laughed loudly and immediately followed Shi Lei to inspect the alchemy furnace that he had longed for.
