Chapter 206: A Minor Official Makes Elixir and Clouds Appear

There was silence in the central military tent.

An expert in refining the gods can defeat an army by himself, and he can be restrained by the same level during a big battle.

It is not easy to assassinate enemy generals. Most of the generals commanding the army of Daqian and Pseudo-Shun are third-level martial arts masters. Coupled with the guards and military formations, it is difficult to say whether a god-refining expert can come out alone if he falls into it.

I gained some knowledge today. The insect-controlling monster drove the sky full of strange insects, and defeated hundreds of thousands of armies from five directions by one person.

Everyone in the military tent felt very aggrieved. If it was a head-on fight, it would be impossible for the demon to withstand the encirclement and attack of more than a dozen God Refiners unless he was promoted to the super level.

However, the demon is proficient in controlling beasts and hides in the dark, making it difficult to find his traces.

As for the monster threat, neither Li Le nor anyone else can accept it.

One is the court's face. Bowing to hypocrisy is tantamount to agreeing with its existence.

Second, if two people are handed over for worship today, one of the people present may also be handed over tomorrow. .

"Your Highness, no matter how weird the monster is, there is only one. It would be better if more than a dozen armies march together to encircle and suppress the hypocrite."

One of the generals said: "With the power of thunder, if we attack Anzhou, the monster will be unable to recover!"

Someone reminded: "General Rong, His Majesty has just issued an order to suspend the offensive."

"You will be outside, your order..."

Before General Rong finished speaking, Li Le coughed twice and interrupted the follow-up.

"The demon secretly drives away insects and kills ordinary soldiers. Most of the sacrifices require magical protection. It is difficult to defeat the hypocritical army..."

After Li Le came to southern Xinjiang, he won many battles, but he did not dare to underestimate Xu Ni.

He relied on ten times the military strength and supplies, and the number of upper-level monks was far exceeded. He only achieved the current results by fighting steadily.

"Your Highness, urgent report!"

Suddenly a voice came from outside the tent.

"Come in."

Li Le felt worried, which was probably not a good thing.

really.

The person who came in was a burly young general with sixth-level strength at a young age. He was a young talent from an unknown family. He had a look of fear on his face and reported: "Your Highness, there seems to be a plague in the army..."

plague!

Many experts were confused at first, and then frowned.

The army is densely populated, and an outbreak of plague is indeed troublesome. However, the immortal master in the army is not a decoration. A plague-repelling talisman can break the plague with one dose and can easily control the plague.

The young general still came to report, which shows that the plague is extraordinary and is most likely an evil method.

Da Gan stood up and said, "Let's go and see!"

Qin Qiong and Fan Wujiu accompanied him to protect him, and the others followed closely behind.

Zhou Yi fell at the end and followed unhurriedly, looking at the palm of his hand from time to time, his eyes twinkling.

Zhang Cheng deliberately fell a few steps behind and asked, "Old Zhou, what did you find?"

"This plague is not simple, even monks can be infected!"

Zhou Yi spread his hands and saw several golden silkworms imprisoned in his palms, with dark spots on his warm and jade-like skin.

"The source of the plague is poisonous insects?"

Zhang Cheng took out a jade bottle from his pocket and poured out two black pills.

"I found this from an old guy in the Alchemy Hall. It is said to be able to cure all poisons."

The Alchemy Hall was established by the Daqian royal family and was similar to the Immortal Bureau. However, it only recruited monks who were good at refining elixirs and its reputation was not as prestigious as the four major Immortal Bureaus.

Zhou Yi was not polite, the black elixir melted in the mouth, and a strange spiritual power flowed throughout the body, and finally gathered in the palm of the hand.

A few wisps of gray and black aura drifted away, and the palm of his hand returned to its original state.

…

Jia Qijun stronghold.

The young general led King Yan and others to the military hospital.

There were dozens of soldiers lying in the hall, their faces were ashen and ashen, and their foreheads had immobilization talismans and seals.

Several of them had open chests and scratches oozing blood, looking extremely painful and miserable.

The military doctor was a gray-robed Taoist priest with an old face and a spiritual light flowing around his body. He isolated the inside and outside, casually cupped his hands to King Yan and said.

"This plague comes from golden silkworms. Those currently infected with the disease are all people who have touched the remains, or have been in contact with an infected person once."

As he spoke, a small magic weapon appeared in the old Taoist's hand, and he skillfully cut open the chest of a soldier.

Those present could clearly see that the chest muscles had mutated and turned gray, with a layer of black mist covering his lungs.

The knife cut off a piece of lung, and the spiritual power was photographed in front of Li Le's eyes. The old Taoist continued: "This plague is not spread by ordinary evil insects, but strange evil gas enters the body and corrodes the internal organs. After three or four days, the internal organs will fail and die."

Li Le met the old Taoist's indifferent eyes and his bloody lungs, and a cold air came over him.

Fan Wujiu asked: "Is there a cure for this epidemic?"

"The solution is very simple. We have found seven kinds, but the lowest ones are all sixth-grade elixirs."

The veteran took out a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the patient's chest. The black mist slowly dispersed, and the internal organs returned to a healthy color.

The people present were all human spirits, and they immediately understood the meaning of the old way. The demon who spread the disease knew that there were countless strange people and strangers in the army, and that no matter how weird the disease, there was a solution. So instead of spreading those weird and rare diseases, the solution is very simple but requires expensive pills.

The market price of a sixth-grade antidote elixir exceeds a thousand taels. The lives of ordinary soldiers may not be worth this price, but they have to be saved.

"Master Hard Work has cured these people, and the necessary elixirs can be obtained from the Military Supplies Department."

Li Le said: "Let's go back and continue to discuss, and we must capture that monster!"

A group of people came and went in a hurry.

Zhou Yi glanced at the old man in surprise. There was a familiar smell on him, the resentful smell of the execution chamber.

"I know this old guy. He is a ruthless man who practices both medicine and Taoism."

Zhang Cheng whispered: "In order to practice medicine, he stayed in the prison for eight years, and killed countless demons with his own hands. He was almost eroded by the evil spirit and became a demon."

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Yi with strange eyes. Taoist masters could only stay in prison for eight years, but Zhou Yi could survive for ten years.

"It turns out that he is still a cellmate."

Zhou Yi sighed.

Seeing the big picture from the small, Dagan has been a country for 1,500 years, and Yunzhou has a prosperous human society with a deep foundation.

The highest rank in the military medical hall is only the sixth grade, but there are Taoist masters hiding in it, studying medicine with the help of military cases.

This is the case in the army, and it is the same in other places.

Back to the central army tent, they discussed for nearly an hour and found three plans.

The first one is led by Sun Zhenren, who opened a magic altar to predict the demon's whereabouts and find out where it is.

The second one is that the masters of the left way, such as Du Tou Tuo, cast the spell of aversion. Even if they cannot kill the demon directly, they must make the demon feel uncomfortable.

The remaining spiritual masters were responsible for refining elixirs for insect repellent and epidemic prevention, preventing sneak attacks by demons, and curing infected soldiers.

Zhou Yi was assigned to the third group, responsible for refining the sixth-grade Qingling Pill.

Zhang Cheng was assigned to the second group. He specialized in various curse techniques and liked to take revenge invisibly. Among them, there was an ancient curse technique that had long been lost. Looking at his weird smile, it was definitely not a righteous curse.

"This method of the old Taoist can make the divine monk break the precepts and the saint lady fall into the world. Even if it is a true immortal or Buddha, as long as he does not break his emotions and eliminate his nature, this method will be invincible!"

"Old Zhang, you don't curse yourself often, do you?"

Zhou Yi received the alchemy spirit objects from the military supply department. The number was a bit too much, and he needed to refine 300.

This is because there are many masters on Feilong Ridge, and there are also many Qi Refining Realm who are good at alchemy, and the defense is strict, so the epidemic was discovered in time at the first time it spread.

Several other garrisons attacked by flying insects were caught unawares and tens of thousands of people were infected. They had to send a message for help to Luojing.

…

Early in the morning.

Purple air came from the east, and Feilong Ridge was silent. The patrolling soldiers were cautious.

Immortals who should be breathing clouds and mist on weekdays are now working overtime and staying up late to refine pills.

Refining pills requires refined spiritual objects, controlling fire to refine, and casting spells to combine pills. It takes at least half an hour to refine a furnace. A skilled person can make ten pills, and the task of refining 300 pills takes at least 30 to 40 hours.

Some cultivators with poor alchemy skills not only refine slowly, but also only make three or four pills. In three days, they will definitely not be able to complete the refining of all pills.

However, not all soldiers can survive three days. Those with slightly worse physiques will die in one or two days.

That demon is not only good at controlling insects and dispersing plagues, but also has excellent mental calculations.

The purpose of spreading the disease is not just to kill people, but to delay the great spiritual masters, so that they cannot join forces to attack and kill them.

Suddenly.

A wisp of purple air from the morning sun, as if pulled by a mysterious force, fell into one of the alchemy rooms.

As the purple air accumulated and became thick, it turned into a gorgeous glow, making the ordinary alchemy room ethereal and mysterious, like a fairyland.

A moment later.

The extremely rich aroma of elixir wafted out of the alchemy room, and the patrolling soldiers took a breath and felt refreshed.

The door of the alchemy room next door was broken open, and a middle-aged Taoist walked out.

"Where does the elixir fragrance come from?"

The Taoist's nose twitched, and he looked at the door of the next room following the fragrance.

As the elixir fragrance spread, the spiritual masters in other alchemy rooms could no longer sit still and turned off the fire and came out.

"Which senior is refining the elixir here?"

"It seems to be the weakest third-grade one, called Zhou Yi."

"This name has a profound meaning. Zhou means cycle and endless life, and Yi means the changes of yin and yang in the sun and the moon..."

"Master Cao, you laughed at Master Zhou a few days ago, saying that he lowered the bottom line of refining the spirit. Why has it changed now?"

"How can you, old ghost, slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"..."

Several masters were bored with refining the elixir, and when they encountered something interesting, they gathered together to chat.

Due to the dominance of Yan Wang Li Le, the master of refining the spirit gave up meditation and practice, and refined elixirs for some ordinary soldiers, which was already a great generosity. Suddenly knowing that the unknown official Zhou Yi was actually a master of refining elixirs, how could they not pay a quick visit.

As for the elixir that was rarely refined, how many soldiers died because of it, they generally didn't care.

The masters of the spirit refining never cared about ordinary soldiers. In their opinion, the victory or defeat of the war is determined by the number and strength of the spirit refining.

The lower-level soldiers are only useful before the decisive battle, or stationed after occupying the city.

The masters of the spirit refining are indifferent and ruthless, not because of how many people they have killed, how hard-hearted they are, or how cruel they are, but because they fundamentally do not regard other people as the same kind.

When talking.

The clouds covering the alchemy room gradually dissipated, and the fragrance of the elixir also slowly disappeared.

Creaking.

The door of the alchemy room opened, and Zhou Yi saw the masters of the spirit refining outside the door, and hurriedly bowed.

"Hello, Master Xuanxing, Master Cao, Mr. Yu..."

"Master Zhou, you don't need to be so polite!"

"I got a volume of the ancient elixir book a few days ago. There are some parts that I can't understand. I will ask Master Zhou for advice when I have time."

"Master Zhou's elixir is like clouds and mist. I don't know what kind of elixir he made. Let us see it."

"Twenty clouds and mists. I guess it's at least a second-grade elixir!"

Zhou Yi realized the Yin God through the Taoist scriptures. Although he didn't have a Taoist name, he was a Taoist with a good family background. It's not wrong to call him a master.

The master of elixir can also be called Master Zhou, which makes Zhou Yi's status more noble. However, all the people present are real gods who have lived for one or two hundred years. Their eyelashes are empty. Even if you don't pay attention to Zhou Yi on weekdays, you can guess his character with a thought.

Practice in a low-key manner, do not fight for false reputation, and be cautious when fighting.

For a cultivator with this kind of personality, calling him a master will make him wary and difficult to get close to in the future.

Dealing with people of different personalities is a subtle knowledge. It is difficult to understand by reading books. Only by living long enough can you learn it without a teacher.

"Don't guess, fellow Taoists. It is not a high-quality elixir, but a Qingling elixir used to eliminate epidemics."

A jade bottle appeared in Zhou Yi's hand, and a round green elixir was poured out. It was crystal clear like jade, and the surface flickered with a faint spiritual light.

"Is this the sixth-grade Qingling elixir?"

Several spiritual masters looked at each other. Among them, Xuanxing, who was the best at refining elixirs, took out the Qingling elixir he had refined.

The grayish green grass was embarrassed to say that it was inferior compared to the one in Zhou Yi's hand. They were not the same species at all.

"Master Zhou's alchemy is profound, and I am far inferior to him. This quality should be the legendary pure and top-grade."

Xuan Xing smiled and said, "However, to eliminate the epidemic, a huge amount is needed. Master Zhou might as well reduce the quality and refine a few more furnaces."

"I have finished refining."

Zhou Yi shook the pill bottle lightly, and thousands of Qingling Pills were suspended in the air, densely packed in a large area.

"???"

Several spiritual masters looked confused. This was not very true cultivation. The quality of alchemy should be inversely proportional to the efficiency.

The magical power of playing pills allowed Zhou Yi to refine pills as if assisted by God, and many alchemy formulas were at his fingertips. Controlling dozens of pill furnaces, refining thousands of Qingling Pills at the same time, none of them were damaged, and the efficiency alone was far superior to the alchemy master.

If it weren't for the time spent on refining the spiritual medicine, Zhou Yi could complete the task in one hour.

Xuan Xing exclaimed: "Master Zhou's alchemy is the only one I've ever seen. Senior Huogui in the alchemy hall is far inferior to him!"

A group of spiritual masters gathered, attracting considerable attention. Soldiers had already reported to King Yan.

Li Le stayed up all night, looking at the infected soldiers one by one, urging them to advance divination and spells. He hurried over when he heard that something happened in the alchemy room.

"Masters, how is the Qingling Pill being refined?"

Li Le said with a slightly pleading tone: "This matter concerns the life and death of the soldiers. I wish I could study the alchemy classics. Please work hard, Masters."

Whether it was sincere or a show, the soldiers around him felt good about King Yan after hearing what he said.

Xuan Xing and others made way, revealing Zhou Yi standing at the door and thousands of Qingling Pills suspended in the air.

Li Le looked excited and asked: "Which master refined this?"

Immediately, someone told Li Le in detail everything that had just happened, from the gathering of clouds and the fragrance of the pill.

Li Le stepped forward and bowed: "Master Zhou, I am very grateful!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. This is my job."

Zhou Yi waved his hand to put away the Qingling Pill and said: "I slightly improved the recipe last night. These elixirs can be converted into ten with one water, which is enough to cure the epidemic."

Hiss!

There was a sound of cold air being sucked in, and the eyes of many spiritual masters looking at Zhou Yi became hot.

Fan Wujiu praised: "Master Zhou condensed the Yin God with his mortal body, and his understanding was extraordinary. With such a pill method, he will definitely condense the Yang God and rank first!"

Qin Qiong smiled and nodded, he was embarrassed to brag about himself.
