Chapter 77 Refining the Moon
Zhang Zhixuan told Zhang Hanyan his purpose of coming to Qingxuanzong this time, and then said: “What do you think of my idea? Is there any possibility of it being realized?”
Zhang Hanyan thought about it carefully and said, “I do know an alchemist of level 3 or above. Although our friendship is average, he always gives me a little face.
But the recipe for Wangyue Dan comes from the family. I wonder what Third Uncle’s opinion is. Can the recipe be passed on? “
“When I left, I informed my third uncle. Although the third-level moon-watching elixir recipe is precious, we have to wait three hundred years to refine a furnace of elixir.
To be honest, this kind of elixir prescription is not a very important treasure to the family. It is better to trade with a third-level alchemist, not only to build friendship, but also to exchange for a few elixirs.
After all, moongrass is very rare, and the time to collect spiritual fruits is very short, so it is difficult to encounter it in the wild. Relying on the family’s planting, it takes three hundred years to refine a pot of elixir. There is not much interest behind this elixir recipe, so it can still be exchanged. Zhang Zhixuan said with a smile.
Zhang Hanyan patted his shoulder lightly and said relaxedly: “That’s good. You should recuperate for a few days and regain your energy. Then I will look for He Menglan and find out what she means.
But according to my experience, she will definitely agree.
After all, the elixir prescriptions are rarely spread to outsiders. This is not only good for you, but also very helpful to her. She will definitely not refute my face for this kind of win-win good thing. “
Zhang Zhixuan rested in Zhang Hanyan’s cave for a few days, and then led by Zhang Hanyan to the cave of third-level alchemist He Menglan.
Like Zhang Hanyan, He Menglan also comes from a family of cultivators from the three southeastern counties.
She is much older than Zhang Hanyan, and she has some friendship with Zhang Hanyan’s master, Taoist Yunzhi. After going back and forth, the two of them can be regarded as old friends. Especially after Zhang Hanyan succeeded in building the foundation, the two of them interacted more frequently.
Zhang Hanyan sent the communication talisman, and within a moment, He Menglan released the formation, opened the door of the cave, and said with a smile: “It turns out that Junior Sister Zhang is here. Junior Sister Zhang came today, she must have something good to bother Senior Sister.”
“Senior Aunt He is so polite. Han Yan is here today because he really wants his Aunt to refine a pot of elixir for a clan member like me.” Zhang Hanyan bowed and said humbly.
He Menglan waved his hand and said: “Junior sister and I are not of the same blood, nor do we have the same lineage as the master. Now that you have established a foundation, you should treat yourself as a junior sister!
As for my friendship with your master, we can discuss it separately and it has nothing to do with it.
Our Qingxuan Sect’s rules have always been like this, so don’t be embarrassed. “
The rule of Qingxuan Sect, except for direct master-disciple relationship, is that the master always comes first.
A two-hundred-year-old foundation-building monk would usually call him “Uncle” when meeting a one-hundred-year-old Zifu monk.
But once you become a master in a sect, you become a master for a lifetime. Even if you practice to the Nascent Soul stage, your master in the Qi training stage is still your master, and his direct brothers are also your uncles and masters. Bo.
He Menglan’s disciples were not from the same faction as Zhang Hanyan, and their interactions were based on the rule that the master comes first.
“Since Senior Sister He insists on doing this, the younger sister is disrespectful. The younger sister is here today because she wants to entrust Senior Sister to refine a furnace of elixir.”
“What kind of elixir is it?”
He Menglan thought about it carefully, shook her head helplessly and said, “Junior sister Zhang will probably be disappointed. Moongrass is relatively rare, it takes three hundred years to bear fruit, and its storage time is also short. Very few sects will cultivate this kind of elixir. I This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Don’t worry about the elixir. Our family has a collection. As long as senior sister makes the elixir, the elixir will be given to senior sister as a reward.”
Refining a furnace of elixir can be exchanged for a third-level elixir. This was the first time He Menglan encountered such a good thing, so she nodded immediately, as if she was afraid that Zhang Hanyan would regret it next, and said quickly: “Just do what you want. manage.”
He Menglan took the elixir formula from Zhang Zhixuan, looked at it carefully and said: “This is my first time to refine this kind of elixir, and I will have to figure out the elixir formula for a while.
It is not convenient for guests to stay in the cave, so you should wait for ten days and a half, and I will inform you when it is time to refine the elixir. “
Zhang Zhixuan and his wife returned to Zhang Hanyan’s cave. During the past ten days, he had not been idle and planted several acres of spiritual fields on the mountain with spiritual rice.
As long as a few acres of spiritual rice are harvested, more than a hundred spiritual stones can be sold every year. If accumulated over many years, it is not a small sum of money.
Just after Zhang Zhixuan planted the spiritual rice, news came from He Menglan. Zhang Zhixuan and the two hurriedly came to He Menglan’s cave, handed over all the spiritual grass to her, and then started to refine the elixir that day.
He Menglan is already a foundation-building monk and can already produce true fire to refine elixirs. Except for some special elixirs, general elixirs can be refined in her cave.
And Zhang Zhixuan helped her. Under her guidance, he dealt with various spiritual herbs and learned some details of alchemy.
He Menglan has a good personality and patiently pointed out many of Zhang Zhixuan’s omissions, giving him a feeling of seeing things from the clouds.
He Menglan is already a third-level mid-level alchemist. Although it is his first time to refine the Moon Watching Pill, he has been familiar with the pill recipe for half a month and is already quite confident.
This time she made the elixir very steadily, and she made the elixir smoothly, with a good rate of elixir success.
He Menglan waved slightly, put the four elixirs in the elixir furnace into porcelain bottles, and said modestly: “This is the first time to refine this elixir. The heat is still a bit insufficient, and the success rate is less than half. I hope you will not be indecent.” Strange.
Speaking of which, I have a greater advantage in making alchemy this time. When Junior Sister Zhang makes alchemy next time, Senior Sister will get a better price. “
Seeing that He Menglan was humble and had refined four pills of Moon Watching Pills, which exceeded Zhang Zhixuan’s expectations, he said happily: “I’m not surprised, I’m not surprised. Senior He’s alchemy skills are really brilliant. He was able to refine four pills and return to the family.” That’s enough to explain.
Besides, this is a matter of mutual consent between you and me, and it doesn’t count that Senior He is taking advantage. It’s a win-win situation for us. “
He Menglan smiled and said: “My little Taoist friend is really good at talking. Regardless of whether it’s a win-win situation or not, the benefits are always greater for me.
I will keep this favor in mind. I think there will be many opportunities for us to deal with you, and I will always repay it in the future. “
