Chapter 578 This Loss Cannot Be Tolerated
The communication between Gu Zheng and Master Xinjing did not last long.
Master Xinjing also acquiesced in Gu Zheng's attitude.
Monks like Master Xinjing have acquiesced in what Gu Zheng is going to do, so no one will say anything about Gu Zheng.
The next morning, Ma Jun brought fifty special resources, accompanied by Master Xinjing, and took Ma Xiaoming and the others away.
After Ma Jun left, Gu Zheng and Master Xinjing went to the temporary 'meeting hall' of the Righteous Alliance and held a meeting there.
Except for Xiahou Shan's absence, the other three immortal cultivators from Piaomiao Mountain all participated.
When Tong Tao looked at Gu Zheng, his eyes were not friendly. As for the other two immortal cultivators, they also had the same behavior. However, this was a meeting after all, and neither of them said anything.
After the meeting, the serious atmosphere dissipated, and the immortal cultivators gathered together in twos and threes and chatted.
If it had been before, Gu Zheng would definitely have left after the meeting because he didn't like such an occasion, but it was different today. He still wanted to cause trouble for the people in Miao Miao Mountain.
Coincidentally, just when Gu Zheng was thinking about how to cause trouble for them, the opportunity suddenly came.
In addition to Xiahou Shan and Tong Tao, the other two immortal cultivators in Piaomiao Mountain are named Lin Yucheng and Huang Feilong respectively.
Lin Yucheng is a master of alchemy, and alchemists also have levels. Just like Gu Zheng's 'fabricated' memory, Taoist Master Xianyun is now an alchemy master in Emei. His strength in alchemy is already one of the best on the original earth, but his grade is only first grade.
The elixirs that a first-level alchemy master can refine are not bad for practitioners. Even if he is lucky enough to refine elixirs, they will not be of a high grade. One of the key reasons for this is that Taoist Master Xianyun is not an immortal cultivator, but a truly high-level alchemy master, whose alchemy refining cannot be separated from the support of immortal power.
There are five levels of alchemy masters in total, and Lin Yucheng is already a fourth-level alchemy master. His level is not very high, and he can refine intermediate and high-level elixirs.
Alchemy and weapon refining are both very profitable professions, but if we want to compare the two, alchemy is more profitable. After all, the consumption of elixirs is much greater than the consumption of immortal weapons.
The opportunity in Gu Zheng's eyes was Lin Yucheng's business deal, which has not been concluded yet.
The general situation is that a casual cultivator named Yuyangzi who originally lived on earth had something go wrong when he advanced to the late stage of returning to the void some time ago, which caused the body to suffer from the "turbulent flow of immortal energy".
After a cultivator succeeds in promotion, he or she will have a certain chance of encountering a mysterious realm when receiving blessings from the energy of heaven and earth. If you can understand something in the mysterious realm of this special moment, it will usually be something extraordinary! But if there is no understanding in this mysterious realm, there will be a situation of 'immortal energy turbulence' there.
The so-called "turbulent flow of immortal energy" means that an unabsorbable and extremely difficult to get rid of immortal energy will appear in the body of the immortal cultivator for no reason. This immortal energy will swim in the body of the immortal cultivator like a living thing. Even a random collision! When it swims in the body of the immortal cultivator, it is okay, and the immortal cultivator will not feel any special pain, but when it bumps around in the body of the immortal cultivator, the pain it brings to the immortal cultivator is very unbearable.
Normally, the best way to treat the 'Immortal Yuan Chaos' is to take an elixir like the 'Huayuan Dan', but very few alchemy masters know how to refine this very rare elixir. After all, the 'Immortal Yuan Chaos' The probability of the flow' itself appearing is not high.
As a fourth-level alchemy master, Lin Yucheng happened to be able to refine the 'Huayuan Dan', and Yuyangzi, who was eager to get rid of the pain, naturally came to him.
Lin Yucheng asked Yuyangzi for a very high fee. He said that refining the 'Huayuan Pill' required sixteen spiritual resources, and he himself also needed four spiritual resources as payment.
Specialty resources are almost equivalent to medium-level ingredients, and spiritual resources are almost equivalent to excellent-level ingredients. As a casual cultivator on earth, Yuyangzi couldn't produce even four spiritual resources, let alone twenty spiritual resources!
Yuyangzi was pleading, and some people were speaking for Yuyangzi. They all wanted Lin Yucheng to treat Yuyangzi first, and let him pay back the resources Yuyangzi was short of later.
"Let me tell you, when you were helping fellow Taoist Yuyangzi, have you ever thought about me? Fellow Taoist Yuyangzi can only come up with something worth the value of three spiritual items. This is very important for refining." It’s far from enough for Huayuan Dan!”
Lin Yucheng glanced at the crowd with a wry smile, and then said: "We are fellow Taoists from the Righteous Alliance. I don't have to give up the original reward, but the resources necessary to refine the 'Huayuan Dan' must be given by fellow Taoist Yuyangzi." I'm good at it, so he can't let me pay in advance, right? There are no such rules in the alchemist profession."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please advance the payment first, and I will definitely repay you and repay you in the future!"
As Yuyangzi spoke, the muscles on his face twitched a little, because the 'immortal energy turbulence' was crashing in his body again.
"That's what I said!"
Lin Yucheng glared at Yuyangzi fiercely: "The Ghost Festival is approaching, who knows that he will still be alive? If you ask me to advance now, who will I look for if you die?"
"Since you have said that, who knows that he is still alive, then how can you be sure that you can live? Resources are also external things. Since you are not even sure whether you can live, you might as well fulfill Yu Yangzi's wish. Fellow Taoist, let him contribute to this world during the Hungry Ghost Festival, right?"
Gu Zheng's slightly mocking voice sounded, so everyone's attention was focused on him.
Lin Yucheng frowned, looked Gu Zheng up and down and said: "Master Gu is Master Gu after all. His sharp teeth and sharp mouth make people feel like I am a villain! I have never been subversive in making alchemy for others. This is the precedent set by my master! Although I have never been to Guzhang’s Jixiang Xiaozhu, I have heard that it is clearly stated on the menu that there is no credit. Isn’t this a rule for you? Already?"
Lin Yucheng's voice paused, and then he smiled sarcastically: "It is not impossible to help fellow Taoist Yuyangzi so that he can contribute to the world during the Zhongyuan Festival! Since the ancient leader has With such a high level of awareness, how about you come up with the resources needed to refine the 'Huayuan Dan' for fellow Taoist Yuyangzi? Anyway, you are an immortal chef, so you can definitely get these resources!"
"Yes, I think this is good. Fellow Daoist Lin makes alchemy for free, and Master Gu helps fellow Taoist Yuyangzi subvert the resources needed for alchemy. This is a very good thing!" Tong Tao laughed.
"Yes, this is indeed a good thing. I think with the high sense of justice of the ancient leader, he will not refuse such a proposal, right?"
Huang Feilong, another immortal cultivator in Piaomiao Mountain, smiled in a weird way when he spoke. After finishing his words, Gu Zheng didn't even wait for Gu Zheng to speak, and looked at Yu Yangzi who was beside him, who was slightly excited.
"Fellow Taoist Yuyangzi, this is your business after all. You can't let us worry about it, right? Sect Master Gu is silent, probably waiting for you to speak on your own!" Huang Feilong said.
"Master Gu, I hope you can help me. I, Yuyang Zi, will be richly rewarded in the future!"
Yuyangzi looked at Guzheng, his eyes full of pleading.
"You old guy, why can't you see what's going on?"
Ouyang Hai glared at Yuyangzi, and just when he was about to say something more, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled at him.
Gu Zheng, who had smiled at Ouyang Hai, gave Yu Yangzi a look that said, "Don't be impatient", and then his eyes fell on Lin Yucheng again.
"Are you really not going to refine the 'Huayuan Dan' for fellow Taoist Yuyangzi?" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"It is impossible to subvert it. Unless you help fellow Taoist Yuyangzi pay off the resources for refining the 'Huayuan Dan', there is no second way."
Lin Yucheng frowned. He was a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in Guzheng Gourd.
"Let me ask you one last time, will you help fellow Taoist Yuyangzi refine the 'Huayuan Dan'?" Gu Zheng's expression showed impatience.
"Master Gu, are you okay? If someone comes to your Jixiang Xiaozhu and asks for credit, will you give it to him or not?" Tong Tao sneered.
"Have you heard this? Master Gu is threatening you!" Huang Feilong also shouted.
"Master Gu, are you bullying me, Miao Miao Shan? Do you dare to say such threatening words in front of everyone? Could it be that if I don't obey, will you still attack me?" Lin Yucheng said with a smile.
The three people in Piaomiao Mountain talked to each other, causing most people to frown and look at Gu Zheng, wondering what he was going to do. Is it really a threat? Of course, a few people knew that Gu Zheng would not do this, but if he did, he had his reasons! Master Xinjing also understood that Gu Zheng was going to settle accounts with Piaomiao Mountain.
"Threat? You can take it as a threat!"
Gu Zheng said lightly, and then sneered: "Originally, for the sake of the overall situation, I wanted to give you a chance and didn't want to expose you in public, but not only did you not repent, you actually slapped me on the back!"
Gu Zheng no longer looked at Lin Yucheng, who was frowning, but looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, this man looks sanctimonious, but in fact he is very treacherous at heart! He said he would not charge the refining fee from fellow Taoist Yuyangzi. , just charge the cost, but the spiritual resources required to refine the 'Huayuan Dan' are not the so-called sixteen types at all, it only requires eight types!"
"Huh? Only eight kinds are needed?"
"No way? If you really only need eight kinds, is that too dark? Let people owe him favors, and in turn earn them twelve kinds of spiritual resources!"
“I thought I might earn a little, but I never thought I would earn so much!”
"It shouldn't be the case! Under the current trend, personal small profits should be put aside!"
"Small profit? The key point is that this is not a small profit!"
After Gu Zheng's words fell, there was a lot of discussion around him.
"Gu Zheng!"
Lin Yucheng yelled angrily: "Do you have any evidence for saying that about me? If there is no evidence, it is impossible to just let this matter go!"
Although he looked furious on the outside, Lin Yucheng was extremely anxious in his heart. He just hoped that things would not develop in the direction he did not want. After all, what Gu Zheng said was true! But now that things have happened, he has no choice but to hold on! Is it possible to admit my mistake now? joke! Then how can I meet people face to face in the future?
"This is the certificate, everyone can take a look."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he told him the recipe for the 'Huayuan Dan' that Qi Ling had told him.
"Although the elixir is precious, what I care more about is that if you need to use the 'Huayuan Dan', don't be deceived by the black-hearted alchemy master!"
Gu Zheng looked at Lin Yucheng, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yucheng.
Lin Yucheng broke into a cold sweat in his heart. What Gu Zheng said was indeed the recipe for the 'Huayuan Dan'.
"You said this is the recipe for Huayuan Dan. Is this the recipe for Huayuan Dan? If you can use the resources on the recipe to refine Huayuan Dan, then you can prove that it is indeed the recipe for Huayuan Dan. Danfang, otherwise it is nothing!" Lin Yucheng gritted his teeth.
"Huayuan Dan is a very high-level elixir. I'm not a master of alchemy, so I can't refine it." Gu Zheng said disdainfully.
"You are not an alchemy master, how can you be sure that the elixir you gave is real? Otherwise, you can find someone. If you find someone who can refine the Huayuan Dan according to the elixir recipe, this can also explain your elixir. Fang is real.”
Lin Yucheng smiled, feeling a little relieved in his heart. He didn't believe that there were still people in this world who had that kind of Taoism and could refine Huayuan Dan.
"Are you stupid? I'm not an alchemy master, but you are! If you use the resources you asked for from fellow Taoist Yuyangzi to refine Huayuan Dan in front of everyone, wouldn't this also prove who we are? Are you lying?"
Gu Zheng looked at Lin Yucheng, who looked slightly satisfied, as if he were looking at an idiot.
"What's so hard about this?"
The worst step finally appeared, but Lin Yucheng still gritted his teeth and held on.
However, since acting requires a complete set, the momentum must not be weakened at this time, so Lin Yucheng looked at everyone with an expression of extreme dissatisfaction after being wronged: "Everyone, today the ancient leader forced Lin to appear in front of everyone. Refining elixirs in front of people is really an outrageous thing! However, Lin cannot be wronged for no reason, so I will comply with his request and refine the Huayuan elixir in front of everyone to prove my innocence!"
Lin Yucheng's voice paused, and then he said: "I will come out first with the refining materials. If I refine the Huayuan Dan, then the ancient leader will not only compensate for the materials needed to refine the Huayuan Dan. In addition, I have to be paid and have an explanation for this slander. Do you think this is too much?"
When Lin Yucheng asked, he truly discovered that Emei's influence had reached a whole new level after Gu Zheng came to Blood Tide Island! Because, except for the people from Piao Miao Mountain, there was no one who could say it straightforwardly.
"Not too much!"
What Lin Yucheng wanted to hear most was said by Gu Zheng.
"What if you can't refine it?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Can't refine it? What a joke!" Lin Yucheng said with wide eyes: "If I can't refine it, you won't have to repay the resources I paid. As for this matter, I will also have a solution. Explain!”
"Okay, let's start!"
Gu Zheng was still laughing, making Lin Yucheng's heart tremble.
Lin Yucheng immediately took out the alchemy furnace from his storage belt, and then began to prepare the alchemy, and everyone watched him. However, now that most people are communicating through spiritual communication, few people will say anything directly. After all, no one wants to offend anyone.
"Master, is the recipe you mentioned really the recipe for the Qi Transformation Pill?" Du Wei sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"Of course." Gu Zheng said.
"Then why does Lin Yucheng dare to bet with you?" Du Wei asked again.
"Because he has no other choice but to bet with me! If he doesn't bet with me, it means he is a fake. If he bets with me, he can choose to fail in refining." Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? The refining failed?" Du Wei exclaimed, and then said: "My dear! This person is really willing to give up, and he will lose more than a dozen spiritual resources just to save face!"
"Making him lose more than a dozen spiritual resources can be regarded as a lesson to Piaomiao Mountain. Don't think that Emei is easy to bully and wants to trample on others? You have found the wrong person for them!" Gu Zheng sneered.
On Gu Zheng's side, when Du Wei sent a message, Jia Si also sent a message to ask. On Lin Yucheng's side, Tong Tao and Huang Feilong also sent messages and asked him what the situation was.
Gu Zheng's guess was correct. Lin Yucheng planned to fail the refining because it was the only way he could take. As for offering to use his resources for refining, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, everyone had already agreed beforehand. You know, he has the resources to refine Huayuan Dan.
"This damn Gu Zheng, we can't just let this matter go. I can't bear this loss!"
Lin Yucheng sent a message to Tong Tao and others.
"This man is indeed very arrogant. If we were in the prehistoric times, I would definitely find a way to deal with him!" Tong Tao said.
"Be patient for now, being impulsive on this Blood Tide Island is obviously not a good thing. Let's wait until Xiahou Shan comes back." Huang Yulong said.
When Lin Yucheng threw the sixteen spiritual resources into the alchemy furnace, the muscles on his face were twitching. Although he is a fourth-level alchemy master, these resources were not obtained for free. It is unknown how many businesses he did to accumulate these resources.
Glancing at Gu Zheng, he found that Gu Zheng was smiling at him, which made Lin Yucheng hate Gu Zheng even more.
Lin Yucheng used his immortal power to activate and control the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace, and slowly refined them. His meticulous appearance seemed quite like that.
The alchemy furnaces used by cultivators are different from those used by mortals. The alchemy furnaces used by mortals have lids, but the alchemy furnaces used by cultivators have no lids and look like a cauldron.
Through the 'True Fire of Life' and immortal power, the resources suspended in the alchemy furnace were turned into medicinal powder, and then were controlled by Lin Yucheng, moving towards the steps of condensing the elixir.
Condensing the pill is a very important step in the process of alchemy. Most people will fail at this step.
In fact, alchemy and Gu Zheng's food cultivation have some similarities. When several things are combined together to produce incredible effects, there will be some strange phenomena. This is a test of the laws of heaven and earth for these extraordinary things, just like the tribulation of immortal cultivators.
Lin Yucheng had only condensed ten of the sixteen kinds of medicinal powders, and the pill furnace was already shaking abnormally.
"Huh!"
Lin Yucheng shouted, raised his hand and cast a spell towards the pill furnace. When it calmed down, he quickly condensed the eleventh kind of medicinal powder.
The pill condensed with eleven kinds of medicinal powders was floating above the flame and spinning. Although it looked a little rough, it already exuded a charming pill fragrance.
