Mortal Cultivation: Who Can Be More Yin Than Me, the Extreme Yin!

Chapter 192 Sneaking Into the Su Family

Half a month later, Song Wen arrived at the foot of Qingping Mountain. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜

What comes into view is a majestic mountain gate, with five big characters written on it with flying dragons and phoenixes.

The Su family in Qingpingshan.

In front of the mountain gate, there were more than a dozen guards standing, both in the middle and late stages of Qi training.

Song Wen's current image is that of an old man over fifty who is at the fifth level of Qi training.

He learned from the old woman's memory that the Su family was recruiting alchemists, so he spent half a month learning how to refine the Qi Gathering Pill from Rong Jingyun's alchemy experience.

Qi Gathering Pill is the most commonly used elixir to enhance cultivation among early Qi training monks. The Su family, which has thousands of Qi training clan members, has a huge demand for it.

"Stop! Who are you? What are you doing at Su's house?"

As soon as Song Wen reached the foot of the mountain, he was stopped by the guards.

He smiled and cupped his hands towards the speaker, "Brother, I heard rumors from people in the city that the Su family is recruiting alchemists. I came here to try my luck."

When the guard heard this, his stern expression immediately softened.

"Are you an alchemist?"

Song Wen nodded, "I feel ashamed to say that, little old man, I have been immersed in the way of alchemy for more than thirty years. Now I can only refine Qi Gathering Pill and Blood Qi Pill. I don't know if I can join the Su family."

Hearing Song Wen say that he could refine the Qi Gathering Pill, the guard showed a kind smile on his face.

"The old gentleman has only refined two kinds of elixirs in thirty years. I guess he must be very familiar with these two kinds of elixirs. Please come with me and I will lead you to the elixir room."

"As for whether you can enter the alchemy room, it is up to the alchemy room manager to decide."

This guard of the Su family was so polite, Song Wen couldn't help but take a second look at this person. Approximately twenty-five or six years old, with a sixth level of Qi training.

Song Wen cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, little brother. What do you call me?"

"My name is Su Shan."

Song Wen followed Su Shan and walked up the mountain along a wide staircase.

While walking, Su Shan introduced.

"You can only go up and down the mountain along the steps. Where there are no steps, there are hidden forbidden formations to warn, trap or kill the enemy. It is extremely dangerous to break in rashly."

Soon, the two of them arrived outside a hall halfway up the mountain.

The main hall is built close to the cliff and rocks. It is simple and majestic and covers an area of ​​several acres. There is a plaque hanging on the main hall with the word "Alchemy Room" written on it.

Standing outside the alchemy room, you can feel the scorching heat emanating from the hall.

Under Su Shan's guidance, he easily passed the inspection by the guards outside the alchemy room and entered the alchemy room.

There are various alchemy furnace carvings in the alchemy room, as well as many elixirs for display, and there are many people coming and going.

Su Shan walked directly to a female cultivator about forty years old and said in respect.

"Deacon, there is an old man who has recommended himself to my Su family as an alchemist."

The female cultivator looked up at Song Wen behind Su Shan and asked.

"What kind of elixir can you refine?"

"Qi Blood Pill and Qi Gathering Pill."

The female cultivator frowned, "You only know these two?"

Song Wen nodded, "I am not very qualified. I have been refining alchemy for more than thirty years and have only refined these two kinds of elixirs. If I am lucky enough to join the Su family, I will do my best to serve the Su family."

The female cultivator stood up, waved her hand to indicate that Su Shan could leave, and then said to Song Wen.

"May I have your name?"

"Yuan Cheng!"

"Master Yuan, please come with me. I have nothing to prove. I need to test your alchemy skills."

The female cultivator took Song Wen directly into the depths of the hall.

After walking deep into the hall, Song Wen discovered that there was something else going on here.

On the mountain deep inside the hall, there is a corridor that leads directly to the inside of the mountain.

After walking dozens of meters along the corridor, alchemy rooms built out of the mountains appeared in front of them.

The female cultivator took out a black triangular token and put it into the triangular groove on the stone door of an alchemy room. The stone door opened immediately.

The alchemy room is not big, less than three feet in diameter. There is an alchemy furnace inside. There is a small hole under the furnace, and wisps of hot breath emerge from the small hole.

This small hole should lead directly to the underground, and the formation will be used to lead the earthly fire here for elixir refining.

Three jade boxes appeared in the female cultivator's hand, she handed them to Song Wen and said.

"There are three materials for the Qi Gathering Pill here. As long as Master Yuan succeeds in one of them, he will pass the test and become the Su family's alchemist."

Next, the female cultivator instructed Song Wen in the method of inducing earth fire, and then exited the alchemy room.

Alchemists are very taboo about having outsiders around when they are refining alchemy. A small movement by an outsider may distract the alchemist, leading to failure of the alchemy.

Seeing that the stone gate was closed, Song Wenjing concentrated and began to draw the earth fire to refine the elixir.

The firepower of earth fire is much greater than that of wood fire, and the speed of refining alchemy is also much faster.

This was the first time he used earth fire to refine elixirs, and he was somewhat unfamiliar with the control of fire power, which led to the failure of refining the first batch of elixirs.

Fortunately, the second furnace was successfully produced.

Song Wen pressed a mechanism on the stone door, and the stone door slowly opened.

Follow the passage back to the main hall and walk to the female cultivator.

Song Wendao handed over a jade bottle.

"Fortunately, I managed to live up to my fate and successfully condensed the elixir in the second furnace."

The female cultivator took the jade bottle and opened the cork, revealing five finger-sized pills.

The elixir is round and round, with abundant spiritual energy. It is quite satisfactory, not good, but not bad either. There is still a touch of fire on it, and it looks like it has just been refined.

A smile appeared on the female cultivator's face.

"Master Yuan, welcome to become a member of the Su family. My name is Su Huayue, and I am the deacon of this alchemy room."

Song Wen handed over his hand and said, "I have met Deacon Su Huayue, please take care of me in the future."

Su Huayue nodded and said, "Our Su family's alchemists are divided into seven levels, and levels one to three are first-level alchemists. Blood Qi Pill is a first-level low-grade pill, and Qi Gathering Pill is a first-level medium-grade pill. You are a second-level alchemist, and your monthly salary is thirty spirit stones."

"Every month, the Su family provides thirty spiritual herbs required for Qi Gathering Pills. You only need to hand in eighty Qi Gathering Pills to complete the task. If there are any remaining pills, the alchemy room will purchase them at the price of two spirit stones each."

"Is Master Yuan satisfied with this treatment?"

If all thirty medicinal materials are made into pills, one hundred and fifty Qi Gathering Pills can be obtained. The Su family requires eighty to be handed in, and it can be achieved with a success rate of more than half.

This requirement is not too harsh.

The price of Qi Gathering Pills in the North Market is about three spirit stones each.

The Su family purchases them at the price of two spirit stones each, which is fair.

Song Wen was delighted, "Thank you, Deacon. I am very satisfied."

Su Huayue said, "Then Master Yuan will go to rest first. We will start refining the elixir tomorrow."

Then, she called a young maid who had no cultivation skills and asked her to take Song Wen to her residence to rest.

Led by the young maid, Song Wen came to a large courtyard at the foot of the mountain. There were independent houses in the courtyard, each with three rooms.

The maid was a member of the Su family who had no spiritual roots and could not practice. She was quite familiar with Qingping Mountain and gave Song Wen a brief introduction to the general layout of Qingping Mountain.

Above the waist of Qingping Mountain, most of the people living there are direct descendants of the Su family. All the members of the Su family with decent spiritual roots live there.

Below the waist of the mountain, there are various places for cultivation. For example, refining elixirs, refining tools, drawing talismans, etc.

Strictly speaking, the place where they are now is no longer on Qingping Mountain. All the people living here are outsiders like Song Wen.

On the other side of the foot of the mountain, there is a small town where hundreds of thousands of Su family members live.

Most of the people in the town are Su family members without spiritual roots like the maid, and a small number of them are Su family members with inferior spiritual roots.

Their main duties are to serve the Su family members with spiritual roots, and to expand the Su family and give birth to descendants with excellent spiritual roots.

There is a spiritual field of hundreds of acres on the west side of Qingping Mountain, and most of the spiritual medicines used by the Su family are produced there.

There is a valley on the east side, which is the forbidden area of ​​the Su family. It is said that it is the place where the ancestors of the Su family are in seclusion, and outsiders are prohibited from approaching.

Foreign cultivators like Song Wen are not allowed to walk around in Qingping Mountain without permission, and can only move around in the place where they are employed. As for the courtyards at the foot of the mountain and the town of the Su family, they can walk around at will.
