Chapter 72 Logging Helps Us Understand
"Old Cow, let's go to the Alchemy Hall. I think these elders seem to need help from the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators."
Chen Xun looked at the big black cow and smiled, "We don't ask for anything in return. It's okay to learn more about alchemy from the senior brothers."
"Moo~~" The big black cow nodded continuously. They also had jobs in the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and these elders couldn't keep them.
Chen Xun prepared and began to lead the big black cow to the Alchemy Hall. The people guarding outside the formation didn't care much. As long as it wasn't a long journey, it was a small matter. This was not a prison.
Chen Xun found Elder Jing Huang in the Alchemy Hall and said that he was willing to assist in alchemy for free. He just wanted to help and learn something.
Oh, Jing Huang was so happy. He kept stroking his beard and said that with the state of mind of Junior Brother Chen Xun, he could definitely expect to become a golden elixir!
This is absolutely a blessing from heaven. The cultivators in the foundation building stage are busier than the disciples in the Qi refining stage. They are all so arrogant. What's more, it's free. I don't even need to give Chen Xun the spiritual stones to restore his mana.
The most important thing is that he can use his spiritual power, which is much more useful than those of his registered disciples. The success rate of pills will definitely increase greatly.
However, Chen Xun also made three rules. He still has things to do in the medicine garden and can't come often.
Jing Huang is also very straightforward. He said that we are all fellow brothers in the Alchemy Hall. It's too polite to say these things. He will never force Chen Xun to do anything more.
Chen Xun is also very happy. It's true that it's easier to talk in the same department. If he goes to the weapon refining hall, he will probably be kicked out...
The rules of the Wuyun Sect are strict. It's not like running around freely in a small mountain village.
For half a month, Chen Xun stayed in a certain alchemy room, while Da Hei Niu was reading a book. Jing Huang gave him many low-level spiritual medicines to refine, and the finished product of the elixir made Jing Huang very satisfied, because it was better than those of his disciples.
However, he never taught Chen Xun any alchemy techniques. This was a legacy. He only taught him some common sense of alchemy. Chen Xun was not greedy and felt that it was enough.
For example... they drank tea in Jing Huang's cave today. Chen Xun's spiritual power was greatly consumed and needed time to recover. This was the first time that Jing Huang invited Chen Xun to visit the cave.
"Brother Jing, this foundation-building main spiritual medicine can actually refine more than one furnace of foundation-building pills?"
Chen Xun was shocked, and he had lost a lot! He looked at Jing Huang in astonishment, "Doesn't that mean that many spiritual herbs can be used to refine several furnaces of pills?"
Jing Huang shook his head and laughed. Why did Junior Brother Chen Xun seem to know nothing? "Of course, if the medicinal properties of spiritual herbs are too strong, it will have a great impact on the pill formation, and the foundation-building pill is one of them."
"For example, a spiritual herb can be refined into a pill in 30 years, but you use 300 years to refine the same pill. Junior Brother, what do you think the result will be?"
"Well... the power of the pill will increase greatly, right?" Chen Xun thought for a while and said, he still has some experience, for example, he has done this kind of thing.
"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, you think too much. That will only make the elixir disintegrate. It can't bear such a strong medicine at all."
Jing Huang laughed while sipping tea. This Junior Brother Chen is really interesting. "When the water is full, it will overflow. When the moon is full, it will wane. When things reach their extremes, they will turn around. The same is true for the spiritual medicine of heaven and earth."
"So that's how it is. Junior Brother, I've learned a lesson. If it weren't for Senior Brother Jing telling me, I might have been kept in the dark for my whole life."
Chen Xun sweated profusely. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He really took too many detours. "I just wonder why the spiritual medicines in the spiritual medicine garden don't allow them to grow year after year. So this is the reason."
Jing Huang smiled slightly and filled the spiritual tea in front of Chen Xun. He still had some things to do. He invited Chen Xun to the cave today to express his gratitude.
"Senior Brother Jing, I won't bother you any more." Chen Xun stood up and bowed, and sent him off with a full cup of tea.
"Okay, then I won't keep you here any longer, Junior Brother. If you have any questions, you can come to the cave to find me."
Jing Huang nodded calmly. Junior Brother Chen knew his limits and knew how to advance and retreat. He never asked too much about the way of alchemy, but only about trivial matters.
Chen Xun smiled slightly and turned to leave. He looked at the big black bull outside the cave, which was surrounding a large piece of wood, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He paused and turned back to say:
"Senior Brother Jing."
"What's the matter, Junior Brother?"
"What is this wood outside? I see it in front of many Senior Brothers' caves."
"Hehe, that's the wood of the Crane Spirit Tree, used to make medicine boxes or store elixirs, and there are many places in the Yuzhu Mountains."
"Ah?! What!!"
Chen Xun's eyes suddenly became bloodshot and he roared, full of disbelief. He had been wronged for so many years!
His eyelids suddenly turned outward, and with a twitch of his body, he fell to the ground.
"Junior Brother Chen!"
"Moo!!"
...
On the way, the big black bull carried Chen Xun on his back, who stared at the sky with a blank look. He felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, and the anger in his heart was constantly accumulating. The axe on his waist was constantly shining coldly.
The big black bull also kept looking back at Chen Xun. This time he really lost money. They were so poor back then that they had to ask for the medicine box back after selling a spiritual medicine.
In the end, they were told that this kind of spiritual tree can be found everywhere as long as the spiritual energy gathers. They all came from hard times, and the difference in their hearts was so great.
"Old bull!" Chen Xun suddenly roared on the bull's back.
"Cut the tree! Damn it, from now on, our bowls, spoons, pig pens, chicken pens, and everything else! We have to use this crane spiritual tree to make it, otherwise how can we communicate our thoughts, how can we cultivate immortality, and how can we live like this!"
"Moo!"
A man and a cow were furious and plunged into the mountains. When they saw the Crane Spiritual Tree, they used an axe to split the mountain. The big black cow hit it directly and violently, and rumbling sounds continued in the mountains.
Chen Xun and the big black cow carried a large pile of wood to the spiritual medicine garden at the same time. The disciples passing by all had a flash of surprise in their eyes. This uncle must be practicing some wood magic!
Outside the spiritual medicine garden, the foundation-building cultivators guarding the gate were shocked. What kind of shape is this!
I saw that one person was carrying more than a dozen round giant woods on his shoulders, and the black bull spirit beast also carried six or seven. If it weren't for the clear five senses, I would have thought that they were two groups of giant woods walking from a distance.
"Junior brother, what is the purpose of this?" One person couldn't help asking, is this to practice mortal martial arts in the world of cultivation?
"Brother, we are fine. Cutting wood makes us clear our minds."
Chen Xun's forehead was bulging with veins, and he smiled and nodded, "Old Cow, let's go."
"Moo!" The big black bull followed with a cry.
Although the two guards were far apart, they all shook their heads and sighed when they saw Chen Xun's appearance. People who can practice the Water Spirit Technique to the second level are indeed a bit eccentric.
In the following days, Chen Xun and the big black bull had one more entertainment activity, cutting wood in the mountains!
The wood of the crane spirit tree was piled up in their spiritual medicine garden. The piles were getting higher and higher, and the qi in their hearts was getting smoother and smoother. They began to make various tools, and the bangs resounded throughout the Huiquanjian spiritual medicine garden.
Time was flying, and Chen Xun and the big black bull no longer felt the detection power in the formation, but they still did not dare to be careless and continued to do their duties silently.
