Chapter 227 Formation of elixirs
After Zhang Sidao established the foundation, he settled some chores and prepared to take his wife and Zhang Zhixuan back to Tiantai Peak together.
Since he left home in his twenties, he has not left the sect for more than twenty years.
Even when his grandfather died in battle and was buried, he didn’t catch up. By the time he received the news from Qingxuanzong, Zhang Mengqian had already been buried.
Monks like them, who have just successfully built the foundation, have five years of vacation. During these five years, Zhang Sidao plans to live at Tiantai Peak. Within five years, he was ready to break through the shackles of the weapon refining technique and become the family’s first third-level weapon refiner, while leaving some inheritance of the weapon refining technique to his family.
Except for the art of making talismans, the Zhang family’s inheritance in alchemy, weapon refining, array formation and other immortal cultivation arts is not very good. They all come from a messy and wild background.
Up to now, the formation layout has relied entirely on the experience of the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong. Unfortunately, the fourth uncle has been dead for forty years, and the family has not been able to train a third-level formation master.
In terms of alchemy, although I have accumulated a lot of elixir recipes over the years, unfortunately most of them still know what they are and don’t know why. They can only make elixirs imitating cats and tigers. They are not proficient in the principles of elixir recipes. This lesson still needs to be made up by Zhang Zhixuan.
Since Zhang Zhixuan became a third-level mid-level alchemist, he has begun to record his understanding of the family’s elixir recipe and the principles of each elixir in the elixir recipe. He also wrote down his own experiences and tips on alchemy in books. I hope to compile a book of elixirs for my family to help future generations.
The same is true in the art of weapon refining. For hundreds of years, the family has not trained a third-level weapon refiner. The family’s methods of refining weapons are all pieced together using wild methods learned from casual cultivators.
This time, when Zhang Sidao returns, he will learn the art of weapon refining from the Qingxuan Sect and have a formal apprenticeship. Although he cannot reveal the weapon refining skills inherited by the Qingxuan Sect, as long as he relies on his experience, he can straighten out the weapon refining skills at home, which will be convenient later. People learn.
The foundation of a family is slowly cultivated by generations of monks.
Just when Zhang Zhixuan and others were preparing to say goodbye to Han Yan and leave Qingxuan Sect to return to the mountain gate.
In Zhongxuan Mountain, two thousand miles away from the Spiritual Medicine Garden, a spiritual cloud with a radius of dozens of miles gathered in an instant.
This large spiritual cloud emits dazzling golden light, which can be seen clearly by the monks even from two thousand miles away.
Streams of spiritual energy gathered in the golden clouds, forming a huge vortex. The vortex kept spinning and stood on the top of Zhongxuan Mountain.
Zhang Zhixuan and Han Yan were chatting when they suddenly discovered this strange phenomenon. Han Yan’s expression changed and she said in surprise: “It seems that Uncle Lu is about to form an elixir. I’m going to do my best to protect her.”
Zhang Chuyun of the Zhang family is a direct descendant of Patriarch Jin. Unfortunately, after Han Yan joined the Qingxuan Sect, she became closer to Lu Hongniang’s family.
Han Yan’s main supporter in the Qingxuan Sect is Wu Siheng. Wu Siheng and Lu Hongniang have a direct master-disciple relationship. Only with the support of Lu Hongniang within the Qingxuan Sect can these people dare to compete with the disciples and grandsons of Patriarch Jin.
As soon as the alchemy phenomenon appeared, Qingxuan Sect immediately activated the mountain protection formation. Nine bells rang on Qingyang Mountain and issued an order to summon the monks of the sect.
One after another sword light left his cave and began to gather towards the two spiritual mountains of Qingyang and Zhongxuan. Zhang Zhixuan sacrificed the poisonous dragon boat and took a few people with him, flying towards Zhongxuan Mountain at lightning speed.
Regardless of the loss of mana, he flew for four and a half hours before hurriedly arriving at the foot of Zhongxuan Mountain.
At this time, the elixir formation phenomenon is far from over, and the spiritual energy vortex is still absorbing the spiritual energy. Fortunately, Zhongxuan Mountain is a fourth-level high-grade spiritual vein, which can barely provide such a large amount of spiritual energy to fill the big hole of the spiritual energy vortex.
At this time, three sword lights flew down from Zhongxuan Mountain. They were Wu Siheng, Zhou Xiangxian, and Luo Ziyan. These three people were either close friends of Lu Hongniang or her junior disciples. They were the people closest to her within Qingxuan Sect. .
When Lu Hongniang formed the elixir, Ancestor Jin happened to be away from the sect. The Zifu monks from Qingxuan Sect who stayed behind in the sect, after settling in their disciples, all came to Zhongxuan Mountain to protect her.
As long as Lu Hongniang achieves the golden elixir, the power of Qingxuan Sect will become stronger, and they will be able to open up more spiritual mountains and cultivate more monks.
Only when the sect becomes stronger and stronger will the Qingxuan Sect’s brand name become more and more useful.
A clear and long roar came from the mountain, and the spiritual clouds poured into Lu Hongniang’s cave like a whale sucking water. This huge amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into Lu Hongniang’s Dantian in an instant, and a golden elixir took shape instantly.
After Lu Hongniang formed the elixir, she immediately released a burst of elixir energy. The rich elixir energy spread hundreds of miles away. Even Zhang Zhixuan and others at the foot of the mountain felt relaxed and happy when they smelled the elixir energy.
Lu Hongniang successfully formed the elixir, and Qingxuanzong’s power increased a lot.
However, Qingxuan Sect only has one fifth-level spiritual mountain. Judging from Lu Hongniang’s appearance, she obviously doesn’t want to be crowded in Qingyang Mountain with Patriarch Jin.
In a short period of time, Qingxuanzong will definitely choose to expand.
Either kill the fifth-level monsters in the southern wilderness and seize a fifth-level spiritual vein, or go north to destroy the Hongshan Sect and occupy the fifth-level spiritual vein in Taihong Mountain for Lu Hongniang to use.
After Lu Hongniang became an elixir, the Qingxuan Sect issued a strict order forbidding monks in the sect to spread the word about this matter, hoping to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Hongshan Sect.
Outsiders such as Zhang Zhixuan also signed a blood oath, vowing not to leak the matter.
It’s a pity that even if Qingxuanzong made arrangements, it was still in vain.
Since the Hongshan Sect monk Chaoyinshan was defeated, Yang Wangyuan arranged for six foundation-building monks to hide near Qingxuan Sect and monitor Qingxuan Sect’s every move.
These six people had high-level breathing charms given by Yang Wangyuan. They disguised themselves as Qi-training monks and hid in Longjiang County, which was closest to the Qingxuan Sect’s gate.
Lu Hongniang’s vision of forming a pill was clearly visible to at least three people.
These people were all experienced foundation-building monks. They did not show any abnormality at the time. After several months of preparation, they safely sent the news back to Taihong Mountain.
Yang Wangyuan from Taihong Mountain was shocked when he heard the news about Lu Hongniang’s elixir formation. Since the battle at Chaoyin Mountain, there has been no peace between Hongshan Sect and Qingxuan Sect.
Now that Qingxuan Sect’s strength has greatly increased, he will definitely choose a nearby force to strike. If the first strike is not to strike the Southern Wilderness monster, it will strike the Hongshan Sect’s head.
However, Lu Hongniang’s success in forming the elixir caused a further imbalance among the high-level monks of the two parties. It didn’t take much to think about it. Compared to the simple-minded monsters, the Hongshan Sect was the most important opponent of the Qingxuan Sect.
After receiving the news, Yang Wangyuan sat there for a long time, and finally accepted the reality and prepared for the next war.
