Chapter 148 Come out again
Hearing Song Jie suddenly ask him if he was still obsessed with cultivating immortality, Liu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a faint smile.
He looked at Song Jie firmly and said, “Of course, this is the goal I have strived for all my life.
“As long as I am alive, I will never give up the hope of pursuing immortality.”
Hearing this, Song Jie nodded slightly.
“This time I went to the Alchemy Sect and met a good friend. From his mouth, I found out a way for you to cultivate immortality.”
Liu Zhicheng’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t wait to ask: “What can we do?”
“Don’t get excited yet, this method may be…well, a bit dangerous.
“No, it’s very dangerous, almost lifeless.
“There’s only a slight chance of success.”
“There is only a slight possibility of success…” Liu Zhicheng lowered his head and fell silent.
After a moment, he raised his head again and said seriously: “Please tell me this method, Master Song!”
Song Jie nodded as expected.
“Your chance to cultivate immortality is not in Yunmo Continent, but in Chifeng Continent next door.
“If you want to go to Chifengzhou, there are two ways to go.
“One way is to go on foot. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to reach Chifengzhou after walking for thirty or forty years.
“Of course, the greater possibility is that you will be eaten by a monster halfway.
“So far, I have not heard of any mortal walking from one continent to another.”
Song Jie paused and continued: “As for the other way, it is relatively faster, but it is also extremely dangerous.
“That is to go to Yunmiao City, use the teleportation formation, and go to Chifeng Continent.
“I have inquired for you. Yunmiao City does not have a teleportation formation directly leading to Chifeng Continent.
“So you need to travel through several cities through the teleportation formation before you can reach Chifeng Continent.
“And with your mortal body, every time you ride on the teleportation formation, you have to go through a life and death test.
“Fortunately, you have persisted in refining your body over the years, and your body should be better than that of most mortals.
“You should have a higher chance of surviving the teleportation formation between major cities in Yunmo Continent.
“However, the teleportation formation from Yunmo Continent to Chifeng Continent will probably lead to death.
“At most there is only a slight possibility of survival…”
After hearing Song Jie finish talking about these two ways to get to Chifengzhou, Liu Zhicheng fell into silence again.
Although Song Jie said two methods, Liu Zhicheng knew that for him, the only way to choose was the teleportation formation.
The first method of hiking, not to mention the dangers he would encounter on the way, the time spent during it alone was not something he could bear.
Even if he was lucky enough to reach Chifengzhou safely, he would still be sixty or seventy years old.
At this age, even if you can cultivate immortality, it is meaningless.
Moreover, he may not live to be sixty or seventy years old. He may become seriously ill halfway through and die on the way to Chifengzhou.
Mortals are no better than monks. Without spiritual protection, they will easily fall ill when they reach a certain age.
Maybe just a cold wind can take away the life of an old mortal.
Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, Liu Zhicheng could only choose to take the teleportation formation to Chifengzhou.
But according to what Song Jie said, mortals taking the cross-continental teleportation formation would almost never survive.
If you know that it is a dead end and there is only an extremely slim chance of surviving, is it necessary for you to take this risk? Liu Zhicheng is asking himself, how much can he pay in order to pursue the path of immortality? Seeing that Liu Zhicheng fell into silence, Song Jie continued: “Going to Chifengzhou is just the first step in your quest for immortality.
“It doesn’t mean that you can become an immortal once you arrive at Chifeng Continent.
“When you arrive at Chifeng Continent, you will still have to look for the legendary Nirvana Pond.
“According to rumors, the Nirvana Pool was left over from the rebirth of a fire phoenix in ancient times.
“It contains the power of Nirvana of the Fire Phoenix.
“And this power of Nirvana has the power to conquer the creation of heaven and earth, and can make people reborn in Nirvana.
“If you can find this Nirvana Pool, you may be able to use the power of Nirvana in the Nirvana Pool to shape your meridians.
“After shaping the meridians, and then find a fire-attribute skill secret book, you can embark on the path of practice.”
At this point, Song Jie paused again to give Liu Zhicheng time to digest these words.
Liu Zhicheng did not make a decision in a hurry. He looked up at Song Jie and asked, “Master Song, this Nirvana Pond shouldn’t be that easy to find, right?”
Song Jie nodded.
“Yes, even the major forces in Chifeng Continent have not found any trace of Nirvana Pond so far.
“Perhaps the Nirvana Pond only exists in legends and does not exist in reality.
“Or maybe, after so long since ancient times, the power of Nirvana in the Nirvana Pool has been completely lost, and it no longer has the corresponding power.
“In short, it is not easy to find the Nirvana Pool. It is even more difficult than the difficulties you have to face when going to Chifeng Continent.”
Liu Zhicheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: “I understand, there are two difficulties before me now.
“One is whether my body can withstand the cross-continental teleportation formation.
“The other is whether we can successfully find the Nirvana Pool.”
“No.” Song Jie shook his head and said, “It’s not two difficult points.
“But at least three difficult points!” Even if you are lucky enough to find the Nirvana Pool.
“If you want to use the power of Nirvana in the Nirvana Pool to shape the meridians, you still need to obtain the approval of the Nirvana Pool.”
“Accepted by Nirvana Pool?” Liu Zhicheng looked confused.
Song Jie nodded and said: “According to rumors, the Nirvana Pool is not a dead thing, but a psychic thing with spiritual intelligence.
“You can think of the Nirvana Pool as a special creature.
“A creature with an IQ no lower than ours.
“This is also an important reason why the major forces in Chifeng Continent have never been able to find the Nirvana Pool.
“Nirvana Pond is most likely hiding around and won’t stay in one place honestly.
“So, if you want to use the power of Nirvana in the Nirvana Pool to shape your meridians, the difficulties you will encounter are definitely beyond your imagination.”
Seeing that Song Jie had no intention of continuing, Liu Zhicheng immediately bowed deeply to Song Jie.
“Thank you so much, Master Song, for telling me this today. I need to think about this for a few days.
“If I really want to go to Chifeng Continent, I will tell Master Song in advance.”
Now, including Song Jie, there are only three people in the Alchemy Pavilion making alchemy.
If he suddenly leaves the Alchemy Pavilion, it will have some impact on the operation of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Song Jie kindly took him in and taught him a lot of knowledge about alchemy.
Liu Zhicheng naturally did not want to cause trouble to Song Jie because of his departure.
Song Jie nodded and didn’t say anything more about this.
Instead, he patted Liu Zhicheng on the shoulder and said, “This is a matter that will determine your future life path. Don’t worry, think about it slowly.”
With that said, Song Jie took out two bottles of first-grade elixir from his storage bag.
“These two bottles are Danding Sect’s body-building pills. You can take one pill when you are training, which should further improve your physique.
“However, you can only take one pill at most a day, so remember this.”
Liu Zhicheng looked at the two bottles of body-building pills in Song Jie’s hands, but did not reach out to take them. He said, “Song Alchemist, these are too expensive!”
Song Jie smiled slightly.
“This is a gift I brought back from the Alchemy Sect specifically for you.
“Each of you has a corresponding gift, so just accept it with peace of mind.”
After hearing what Song Jie said, Liu Zhicheng accepted the two bottles of body-building pills and thanked Song Jie again.
Then he left Liu Zhicheng’s alchemy room.
Standing in the aisle outside the alchemy room, Song Jie pinched Chen Siyao’s cheek and said, “Big brother is going to start refining alchemy next.
“Are Yaoyao going to play with Sister Caiwei? Or are you watching your elder brother make alchemy in the alchemy room?”
In fact, given the age difference between Li Caiwei and Chen Siyao, Chen Siyao should call her Aunt Li Caiwei.
But Chen Siyao always calls him brother Song Jie. If he calls him aunt Li Caiwei, the seniority will be messed up.
Song Jie had previously asked Chen Siyao to call him Uncle Song, but Chen Siyao still insisted on calling Song Jie big brother.
In this regard, Song Jie did not force himself to correct Chen Siyao’s statement.
After all, no one hates being called young.
Furthermore, Song Jie’s appearance has changed, and even after decades, it will still be the same as it is now.
Therefore, if one only looks at appearance regardless of age, there would be no problem for Chen Siyao to call him big brother.
Upon hearing Song Jie’s question, Chen Siyao said without hesitation: “Yao Yao wants to see my elder brother make elixirs.”
“Okay, then come with me…” Song Jie smiled slightly.
For the uninitiated, alchemy is not a fun thing.
Song Jie felt that Chen Siyao would probably find it boring after watching him refine several batches of pills.
This was the case when he first started teaching Shi Ning how to make alchemy.
Children are always playful by nature, and their attention is easily distracted, making it difficult to maintain their love for one thing for a long time.
After entering his own alchemy room, Song Jie placed Chen Siyao on a small bench.
Then he took out the Ziyun Copper Stove from the storage bag.
Although she had seen Song Jie conjure things out of thin air many times, this was the first time Chen Siyao had seen such a big thing.
At that moment, her eyes couldn’t help but widen a little, and a trace of yearning arose in her heart, thinking that when would she be like Song Jie?
Looking at the Ziyun Copper Furnace in front of him, Song Jie thought of those first-grade alchemy furnaces he saw at the “Elixir Forum”.
“In a few years, when my cultivation is about to reach the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, I will discuss it with Brother Shi and ask him to refine a first-grade alchemy furnace for me.”
After reaching the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, he will prepare to leave for Yunmiao City.
When he arrived in such a big city, he would refine a large amount of high-quality elixirs and then sell them, so that he could quickly establish a foothold in Yunmiao City.
Therefore, before going to Yunmiao City, he had to ask Shi Lei to build him a first-grade alchemy furnace.
But now, the ordinary Ziyun copper furnace is enough for him.
After taking out the Ziyun copper furnace, Song Jie wasted no time and quickly got into today’s alchemy work.
After being away for so long, he wanted to refine some hot-selling first-class elixirs as soon as possible and then put them on the shelves for sale.
……
Soon, another three days passed.
During the three days since Song Jie came back, he spent most of the time refining Xuanyang Pill and Xuanyin Pill.
The two elixirs he refined are particularly popular among the male and female monks in Xinyuefang City.
So in the past three days, he also worked overtime to refine a large amount of Xuanyang Pill and Xuanyin Pill.
The inventory of these two elixirs in the store has been replenished.
As for the rest of the elixirs, when Song Jie went to the Danding Sect before, he refined a lot and brought them there.
Now that I’m back, those pills are of no use for the time being.
So, these elixirs were put on the shelves by Song Jie, and all of them were sold to the outside world.
Because the elixir refined by Song Jie appeared on the shelves again, many monks knew that Song Jie was back, and the business of the Alchemy Pavilion had improved visibly.
However, what they didn’t know was that Song Jie, who had just returned not long ago, was leaving Xinyuefang City again.
Riding on the carriage heading to the original owner’s hometown, Song Jie was thinking about his next plan.
“It’s about three days’ journey back to my hometown, and six days’ journey back and forth.
“If there are no special circumstances, I should stay in my hometown for at most one day before returning.
“Seven days, okay, it’s not too long.
“When I return to Xinyuefang City from my hometown, I will start working overtime again to refine Xuanyang Pill and Xuanyin Pill.”
He has not forgotten the agreement he signed with Yun Mengyi when he was in Danhua Town.
“Also, when I come back, I will start recruiting alchemy apprentices again.”
Ever since Song Jie told Liu Zhicheng about the Nirvana Pool, Liu Zhicheng’s mental state has been significantly better in recent days than before.
According to Song Jie’s speculation, Liu Zhicheng should choose to take the risk to Chifengzhou to find the Nirvana Pool.
Although he is not optimistic that Liu Zhicheng can find the Nirvana Pool, if Liu Zhicheng really makes that decision, he will support Liu Zhicheng.
Song Jie has also seen Liu Zhicheng’s efforts over the years.
Compared to the original owner, Liu Zhicheng does have more perseverance and perseverance.
If such a person really finds a way to cultivate immortality, his future achievements will definitely not be low.
Especially Liu Zhicheng’s spiritual root talent and alchemy talent are so high.
“We can recruit a few more alchemy apprentices this time to fill up the alchemy room.
“Moreover, we should choose some with good alchemy talents.”
He planned to train a few first-level alchemists with decent alchemy talents, and then take them to Yunmiao City together.
As his team that made his fortune in Yunmiao City.
As for Wang Ping, both his spiritual root talent and his alchemy talent are relatively average.
In a small place like Xinyuefang City, with Wang Ping’s ability, he can still hang out.
But when he went to a big city like Yunmiao City, Wang Ping’s ability was a bit insufficient.
Taking Wang Ping to Yunmiao City may not be helping him, but may be harming him.
Therefore, Song Jie has no plans to take Wang Ping to Yunmiao City with him for the time being. He hopes that he can continue to stay in the Alchemy Pavilion in Xinyuefang City and help run the Alchemy Pavilion.
If Wang Ping is willing to stay and help Shi Lei and his wife run the Alchemy Pavilion, Song Jie will also give Wang Ping some shares of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Of course, this is just Song Jie’s preliminary idea. It will still be quite some time before he goes to Yunmiao City.
After briefly making some plans for the future, Song Jie took out the Ziyun Copper Stove from the storage bag.
Refining Xuanyang Pill and Xuanyin Pill directly in the carriage.
Boss Song, who does not have enough manpower, can only work harder on his own.
As for Jin Jiao and Chen Siyao, they were both sitting outside the carriage at this time.
Jin Jiao was responsible for driving, while Chen Siyao sat next to Jin Jiao and learned how to drive from Jin Jiao.
Of course, Song Jie doesn’t know whether Chen Siyao can learn it.
After all, the way Golden Horn drives is different from ordinary people.
It mainly relies on the suppression of blood to drive horses.
Therefore, Song Jie is not very optimistic about Chen Siyao learning to drive from Jin Jiao.
……
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
“Ouch~”
The carriage, which was running smoothly, stopped at Golden Horn’s call.
