Chapter 727: Yuan Dan Zhen Jie Volume 2
The main hall of the Duanmu family is huge, with an altar in front and a row of portraits hanging on it. The people in the portraits are more or less similar to Duanmu Song. Needless to say, the people hanging on the altar are definitely the ancestors of the Duanmu family.
After entering the main hall, Duanmu Song led Duanmu Fei and his sister to worship their ancestors briefly, then turned to Qingyang and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, what do you think of my current condition?"
Qingyang told the truth: "Fellow Daoist Duanmu's condition should be that his vitality has been completely lost and his foundation has collapsed. It has reached the point where elixirs are difficult to cure. I am afraid that he will not have much time left."
Duanmu Song sighed and said, "Yes, I was tortured by the Erosion Spirit Powder for three years before, which has seriously damaged my foundation and vitality. In the subsequent fierce battle, in order to prevent the destruction of the Duanmu family, I continued to use secret techniques to stimulate my body's potential. In the end, although I defeated Ximen Ying and others, my foundation was completely destroyed and my vitality was gone. This consequence was inevitable. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that Duanmu Fei and his sister will lose their support and the Duanmu family will disappear."
Qingyang understood what the other party meant. Although Duanmu Song was tortured by the Erosion Spirit Powder before, there was always hope anyway. Now Duanmu Song is in this situation, there is no hope at all. It's good that Duanmu Song is fine, it's still a deterrent to others. Once Duanmu Song is in trouble, the Duanmu family, which only has Duanmu Tong as a foundation-building cultivator, will soon be swallowed up by the other families.
But what does it mean to say this to yourself? You can't want me to stay and take care of the Duanmu family, right? I can't stay in Wucheng Island for too long. I will leave here sooner or later. I can't sacrifice my future for the future of the Duanmu family.
Duanmu Song paused for a moment, took a breath, and then said to Duanmu Fei and his sister: "Both of you kneel down and thank Daoist Qingyang for saving your life."
Duanmu Fei and his sister heard the order, without any hesitation, they knelt in front of Qingyang and kowtowed to him. Qingyang took a step back calmly. He first talked about the plight of the Duanmu family, and then asked Duanmu Fei and his sister to kneel down and kowtow. What medicine is Duanmu Song selling in his gourd?
Qingyang was in doubt. Could it be that Duanmu Song thought that it was useless to use force, so he used soft tactics to make him submit? If so, Duanmu Song had made a wrong calculation. We are all cultivators, not martial arts heroes in the secular world. We will risk our lives for the so-called chivalry of the rivers and lakes after being complimented by others.
Duanmu Song seemed to have sensed Qingyang's unnaturalness, smiled faintly, and said: "Fellow Daoist Qingyang, don't be suspicious. I have no other intentions. I did this to fulfill the surprise I mentioned before, and I also want you to agree to a small request of mine."
What exactly is Duanmu Song selling? Even though Qingyang is knowledgeable, he still can't guess. He didn't say anything, but looked at Duanmu Song quietly, waiting for the next step.
Duanmu Song thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyang must know that whether it was the sneak attack and poisoning three years ago or the sudden attack on my Duanmu family this time, it was all done by Ximen Ying and Murong Zhu from the other two families on Wucheng Island. So, fellow Daoist, do you know why they have repeatedly troubled my Duanmu family?"
The two families killed each other, either for money or revenge. Qingyang knew that Duanmu Song would continue to talk, so he shook his head gently and continued to look at you, Duanmu Song.
Duanmu Song did not deliberately whet Qingyang's appetite, and continued: "They are so deliberate, in fact, all for a book, a book about the advanced Yuandan technique!"
The book that can attract the covetousness of the two masters Ximen Ying and Murong Zhu must not be the basic Yuandan Zhenjie that he got from the Duanmu family treasury, which can only refine Yangqi Dan and Juqi Dan. At least it should be the one that can refine Yangyuan Dan or Juyuan Dan. Hearing this, Qingyang couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Daoyou Duanmu is saying..."
Before Qingyang finished speaking, Duanmu Song smiled and said: "Daoyou Qingyang guessed well, it is the second volume of the Yuandan Zhenjie, which can refine the Yuandan technique of Yangyuan Dan and Juyuan Dan."
After hearing Duanmu Song's words, Qingyang's interest suddenly increased. The reason why he stayed in the Duanmu family during this period was for the Yuandan technique. There is a shortage of spiritual herbs in Zhongsha area. Qingyang has a lot of herbal medicine techniques, but he can't refine the Juyuan Pill for foundation-building cultivators. If he can learn these alchemy techniques, won't he have no shortage of pills in the future?
What's more, there are higher-level methods for refining Juyuan Pills, which are the basic pills used by Jindan cultivators to improve their cultivation. The higher the level of alchemy techniques, the harder it is to learn. If he can get them all at once this time, he won't have to worry about pills in the future.
Although Qingyang has learned a profound alchemy technique at a young age, he has also paid a huge price. In order to learn the alchemy technique, he has spent countless experiences and countless spiritual stones. Purchasing materials is essential. In addition, he has also purchased a large number of alchemy books, spiritual herb atlases, pill recipes, and notes of previous experience. The spiritual stones he spent are countless.
This is because he is in a large sect like Qingfeng Palace. First, the sect has a deep foundation and has these things. Second, the sect is not self-sufficient and is willing to let disciples learn. If you were outside, you wouldn't have the conditions. Not to mention whether you would have enough spirit stones to buy materials to improve your alchemy skills, just the experience notes and alchemy recipes alone would be such that you wouldn't have anywhere to learn even if you wanted to.
It is precisely because of this reason that there are so few alchemists among casual cultivators and their level is so low. Outside, even if you worship an alchemist as your teacher, he will not teach you easily. You have to serve the master to identify spiritual herbs for more than ten years, and then help him to make fire for more than ten years before you have the opportunity to do it yourself. By the time you learn some basics, decades may have passed, and your best youth has been wasted on other aspects.
Qingyang stayed in Duanmu City for such a long time because he knew that it would be difficult to get in touch with the advanced Yuandan technique after leaving here. If everything depends on self-exploration, when can we improve?
Now I heard that Duanmu Song's family actually has the second volume of the Yuandan True Solution, which can be used to refine Yangyuan Dan and Juyuan Dan. Qingyang will definitely not give up easily. Even if it requires him to pay a huge price, Qingyang will see if he can get this alchemy book.
However, Qingyang also had doubts. Although alchemy was important, it was not indispensable for cultivators. It was not a rare cultivation method or secret technique in the world. If he obtained it, he could break through bottlenecks or greatly improve his strength. If he could not refine the elixir himself, he could buy it with spirit stones. Why take a huge risk to snatch Duanmu Song, the former number one cultivator on Wucheng Island?
