Chapter 490 Life-Giving Pill
After bidding farewell to Jing Kai, Song Wen entered the Corpse King Valley and came to the Mission Hall.
The last time he came to the Mission Hall, he received an alchemy mission, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. He devoured Yu Qi's cultivation and made his cultivation soar. In order to consolidate his cultivation, Song Wen closed his eyes for half a year.
Most of the missions have time limits.
He has not been able to deliver the alchemy mission for a long time, and it has long been invalid. He needs to eliminate the invalid mission before he can receive a new mission.
"Senior Ji Yin, I haven't seen you for a while."
Seeing Song Wen coming, Qiao Ke, the manager of the Mission Hall, took the initiative to greet him.
"I suddenly felt something in my cultivation and closed my eyes for a while. I was unable to complete the mission I received last time. Please help me eliminate it, Manager Qiao."
As Song Wen spoke, he handed over the identity token.
Qiao Ke took the token, checked the mission information recorded in the token, and said.
"This invalid task is a level 7 task. According to the sect's rules, one thousand contributions will be deducted from you."
Song Wen nodded, "I understand the rules."
Qiao Ke deleted the task in the identity token and returned the token to Song Wen.
Song Wen was about to choose a new task from the many alchemy tasks when he heard a voice behind him.
"Ji Yin, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Song Wen looked for the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Zhu Yue.
"Hey! Daoist Zhuyue, how come you have time to come to the mission hall today?"
Zhuyue said, "There is a mission that urgently needs to recruit four third-level alchemists. I came to the mission hall to gather alchemists. Since Daoist is here, can you be alone?"
Song Wen did not agree immediately, but asked, "I don't know what kind of mission it is, but four alchemists are working together?"
"It's an alchemy mission, but it's a bit difficult. In fact, there are more than four alchemists. There are five third-level alchemists in the inner sect, a total of nine third-level alchemists. Moreover, the nine third-level alchemists are just assistants. The real alchemist is the fourth-level alchemist Yehua Demon Lord."
Song Wen's pupils shrank slightly. Yehua, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, personally came out to make pills, but he actually needed to summon nine third-level alchemists to assist. The difficulty of alchemy can be imagined.
"My alchemy skills are mediocre, I'm afraid I can't participate in such a difficult pill refining." Song Wen looked worried.
Deep down in Song Wen's heart, he didn't want to participate in this alchemy.
The more difficult the alchemy is, the more secrets it involves. Knowing too many secrets is not necessarily a good thing.
Zhu Yue seemed to see the worries in Song Wen's heart.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be too modest. I have seen your alchemy skills with my own eyes. There is no problem in completing this task. Moreover, the reward for this task is quite generous, 20 high-grade spirit stones for each alchemist, plus 50,000 contributions."
"Is the reward so generous! Then I'd rather obey your order than be respectful."
Song Wen said with a face full of money.
If he still doesn't agree after the other party's repeated invitations, it would be abnormal and easy to arouse suspicion.
Zhu Yue smiled slightly, turned to Qiao Ke and said, "Help me recruit three third-level alchemists to report to Shenghun Cave as soon as possible."
"Yes, Pavilion Master Zhu Yue." Qiao Ke replied.
"Remember, you need people with outstanding alchemy skills, not those who are unfamiliar with alchemy." Zhu Yue added.
After instructing Qiao Ke, Zhu Yue said to Song Wen.
"The place for refining the elixir this time is arranged in Shenghun Cave. Come on, I'll take you there."
The two of them took off into the air and flew towards the depths of the valley.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Zhu Yue. I wonder if you can tell me what kind of elixir you are refining?" Song Wen asked while flying.
Perhaps because the air was not as chaotic as the mission hall, it was still quite quiet, Zhu Yue spoke.
"This time I am refining an elixir for my master. The name of the elixir is 'Shengxi Pill'."
"Shengxi Pill?"
Song Wen frowned, the name of the elixir made him feel a little strange.
"What is this elixir used for?" Song Wen asked.
Zhu Yue shook his head, "I don't know either. But I can tell you a little bit, the main ingredient of this elixir is a young and strong two-legged sheep."
Song Wen's heart trembled slightly.
Using living people to refine the elixir!
And it's young and strong!
This is so similar to the Su family, who used young cultivators who practiced "Longevity Gong" to prolong their lives.
Could it be that Yin Shuo's life span is also coming to an end?
However, according to rumors from the outside world, Yin Shuo is only 700 years old now, and he still has 300 years to live before the thousand-year life span of a Yuanying cultivator.
Or, what kind of skills did Yin Shuo practice that consumed his life span?
Song Wen's mind was full of thoughts.
Under Zhu Yue's leadership, the two soon came to the edge of the deep valley.
There were many stone mountains here, and most of them were not high, with the highest being only a few hundred feet.
The two came to the hillside of a stone mountain, where there was a cave several feet high, with three big characters "Soul-Bearing Cave" written on it.
Entering the cave, walking forward for more than ten feet, a cave about a hundred feet wide appeared in front of them.
On the dome of the cave, there was a huge hole of several dozen feet, leading directly to the top of the mountain.
At the bottom of the cave was a deep pit of a hundred feet deep, and at the bottom of the deep pit, there was an alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace was somewhat beyond imagination, several feet high and twenty feet wide.
Around the large alchemy furnace, there were nine three-foot-high alchemy furnaces, guarding the large alchemy furnace in the center.
These ten alchemy furnaces are all brand new, they should have just been made and placed here.
The two entered at the waist of the pit.
"This Soul Cave was originally a place to plunder the souls of two-legged sheep, but for this alchemy, it was temporarily changed into an alchemy room." Zhu Yue said.
Song Wen said, "No wonder there are so many soul fragments here."
The whole pit was filled with a strong smell of residual souls. Song Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath. This feeling of residual souls reminded him of the corpse-dissolving cave of the Corpse Demon Sect.
There are many caves on the wall of the cave, like some temporary caves.
Zhu Yue pointed at these caves and said, "These temporary caves are temporary resting places for the disciples of the Soul Hall. Daoist friends can find one at will and take a rest. Daoist friends, don't worry, I won't let you wait too long. The Demon Lord will come within a day. There are many matters involved in this alchemy. Master has given me full responsibility. I'm sorry I can't accompany you here."
Song Wen said, "Daoist Zhu Yue, please do as you please."
Zhu Yue nodded, soared into the air, and flew out directly from the hole at the top of the pit.
Song Wen looked around and did not enter any temporary caves. Instead, he flew to the bottom of the pit and found a secluded place next to the alchemy furnace to sit down.
After waiting for about an hour, five Jindan cultivators came together, three women and two men.
The five people were surprised to see that there was already someone next to the alchemy furnace.
One of the women, whose skin was slightly loose, looked at Song Wen for a moment and asked.
"My fellow Taoist, you look unfamiliar. Are you a new member of the outer sect?"
Song Wen stood up and bowed to the five people.
"My name is Ji Yin. Nice to meet you all. I have just joined Wuji Island for more than ten years. I hope you can take care of me."
The woman said, "Are you also an alchemist who was ordered to come here to participate in the refining of Shengxi Pills?"
Song Wen said, "That's right."
