Chapter 1268 Legend

Bai Feng also treated the alchemists who came to Hanzhong very well, including food and accommodation.

After all, they will have to sacrifice their lives for themselves in the future, and this sacrifice is true sacrifice.

After all, in the process of making nitrate/glycerin explosives, an operational error can really kill someone.

For a time, Hanzhong became the place with the most alchemists in the Wei Dynasty.

Some alchemists with little reputation or no real skills took the initiative to go to Hanzhong from all over the country after learning that Bai Feng had been recruiting alchemists recently.

Bai Feng now receives five or six alchemists every day.

But when the number of people increases, the number of people who pretend to be fake also increases.

For those idiots who wasted his time or pretended to be alchemists, Bai Feng directly had people kicked out of Hanzhong.

Finally, Bai Feng arranged an errand for Zhang Daoyi, which was to help him receive the alchemists who came to Hanzhong.

For those scoundrels who had no skills at all and came to eat and drink under the guise of alchemists, Zhang Dao and his gang were sent away directly.

When Zhang Daoyi helped Bai Feng identify the alchemist, he didn't know that his reputation had also spread.

The alchemists who had just arrived in Hanzhong had all heard of Zhang Daoyi's name.

Zhang Daoyi, who has become famous among the alchemists and has been recognized by Bai Feng, is still working hard to help Bai Feng identify the actual level of the alchemists who come to Hanzhong.

One day at noon, Zhang Daoyi was talking to an alchemist from Liaodong and told him that when he was practicing in the mountains of Liaodong, he had heard the local people mention Wei Ao.

Zhang Daoyi, who learned the news, remembered that Bai Feng had asked them about Wei Ao and where Wei Boyang was currently practicing alchemy.

So Zhang Daoyi took this alchemist from Liaodong to the Hanzhong Hou Mansion to meet Bai Feng.

"Hanzhong Hou, this is a fellow Taoist from Liaodong, named Fang Yuan."

Zhang Daoyi first introduced Fang Yuan to Bai Feng, and then said to Bai Feng:

"When Fellow Daoist Fang was in Liaodong, he once heard about Wei Boyang, Duke Wei, practicing in the local Gaima Mountain."

Originally, Bai Feng thought that Zhang Daoyi had discovered another alchemy expert, but he didn't expect that this Fang Yuan actually knew the news about Wei Boyang.

"Hahaha, please sit down."

Bai Feng said to Fang Yuan with a smile.

Fang Yuan thanked him and sat down with Zhang Daoyi.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Fang can still confirm whether Duke Wei is still in Liaodong?"

Bai Feng then asked Fang Yuan.

"I can't be sure because I came to Hanzhong from Yizhou before and have been practicing in Yizhou for more than a year."

Fang Yuan heard the words and replied to Bai Feng.

"I see."

Bai Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing Fang Yuan's answer.

A year has passed, and Wei Boyang may no longer be practicing in Liaodong.

This news is indeed a little long time coming.

But if it weren't for Fang Yuan, Bai Feng would still not have any other news about Wei Boyang.

After all, Liaodong and Goguryeo border on each other, which is a bit remote.

Moreover, Bai Feng believed that the Gaima Mountain should be the Changbai Mountain in later generations, and the Liaodong area would be the Jilin Province in later generations.

"I didn't expect Wei Boyang to go to Changbai Mountain to practice. How could he, a native of Kuaiji Shangyu (Shaoxing, Zhejiang), go to such a remote place to practice alchemy?"

Bai Feng didn't expect that Wei Boyang could run so well and traveled half of the Wei Dynasty in order to practice and refine alchemy.

Now Bai Feng also understood why he had not learned about Wei Boyang's current training location from other alchemists before.

"Then please ask Fellow Daoist Fang to give me a slightly more specific location. I will send people to Liaodong to actually search for Wei Gong."

Bai Feng, who had no more information about Wei Boyang's current training location, could only speak to Fang Yuan, the only one who had information about Wei Boyang's current training location.

"OK."

After Fang Yuan heard this, he carefully recalled to Bai Feng the place where Wei Boyang practiced that he had heard about.

Then he also remembered a legend about Wei Boyang.

"While in Hanzhong, there is one more thing that just occurred to me."

Then Fang Yuan said to Bai Feng.

Bai Feng immediately became interested after hearing this, and Zhang Daoyi on the side also pricked up his ears.

Then Bai Feng motioned to Fang Yuan to just say so.

"Previously, I was looking for various gold and stone treasures in the mountains of Liaodong for the purpose of refining elixirs. When I learned that Duke Wei was cultivating here, there was also a legend spread among the local people."

"This legend is also about Wei Gong"

Then Fang Yuan told Bai Feng and Zhang Daoyi the legend he had heard about Wei Boyang while recalling it.

It is said that a golden light once appeared in Changbai Mountain, and the locals believed that a valuable treasure was born in the mountain.

Wei Boyang, who traveled the world with his two men in search of rare treasures to refine elixirs, set out for Changbai Mountain after learning the news, preparing to seek the treasure.

In Changbai Mountain, after Wei Boyang found the valuable treasure, he successfully refined four elixirs.

This was the first time that Wei Boyang successfully refined the elixir, so he and his two apprentices did not take the elixir immediately.

Instead, he first found a native dog and fed the native dog the first elixir.

It is said that this little local dog died on the spot after eating the elixir.

Seeing this scene, Wei Boyang and his two disciples couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.

Finally, Wei Boyang said to his two disciples:

"What I pursue in this life is to become an immortal. After this opportunity, I don't know if I will have another chance to obtain the treasure bestowed by heaven to refine the next batch of elixirs."

"And I am over 60 years old, so no matter what happens after taking this elixir, I can accept it."

So Wei Boyang asked his two disciples whether they wanted to take the elixir with him.

The older of the two disciples believed in Wei Boyang's alchemy attainments, and he thought that a small dog should not be able to withstand the power of the elixir. It was because of the backlash of the elixir that it could not become an immortal after taking it.

So the older disciple took an elixir from Wei Boyang.

The young disciple became Wei Boyang's apprentice for immortality.

Seeing that the small dog died on the spot after taking the elixir, he backed out.

He was only 20 years old and had at least 40 years to live in the future, so he did not plan to take the elixir.

Wei Boyang didn't say much when he saw this, but just told his youngest disciple that if he and his eldest disciple died after taking the elixir, they could be buried directly on the mountain.

Then Wei Boyang and his eldest disciple took the elixir at the same time.

Then they both died one after another.

The youngest disciple suppressed his grief and buried the two together on the mountain, and left the remaining elixir next to Wei Boyang.
