Volume 2: Yun Ji Cang Hai Chapter 608: Qingyou Valley
After the two had finished drinking, Lin Yi was led by Lin Jiangxian to his master's cave.
Old Man Baicao lives on the highest mountain peak in Qingyou Valley. It is vast and green in the distance, and the clouds and mist are shrouded nearby. The front of the cave is also covered with exotic flowers and grasses. They are colorful and beautiful, and they have rich spiritual energy and a touch of medicine. The fragrance is everywhere. Here, it is like a paradise.
But after entering the cave, Lin Yi was still a little surprised. The hall is quite spacious, but it seems a bit messy. Jade vases, jade boxes and jade slips were scattered everywhere on the ground; there was also a three-foot-large alchemy furnace placed in front of them. From a long distance away, you could feel the heat on it. On the mat beside him, an old man in coarse clothes sat cross-legged. He has gray beard and hair, a ruddy face full of wrinkles, two long eyebrows drooping, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes with a gentle smile.
This is Lin Jiangxian's master Baicaozi. He looks like an ordinary old man, without the aura of a monk at all, and is no different from an ordinary old man. There was also a purple gold gourd lying reclining behind him, which was much larger than Lin Yi's. When he saw the two juniors coming in, he smiled and looked kind.
"I've met senior!" Lin didn't dare to waste the courtesy. As soon as Lin entered the cave, he took the first step and bowed down.
"Haha! Thanks to you risking your life to save me, I didn't lose my only disciple! Both my master and my disciple owe you a big favor! No need to be polite..."
Baicaozi's words were easy-going, with a bit of relief in his eyes. He knew that his apprentice had a wide circle of friends, but most of the people he interacted with were in pursuit of profit, and there were only a few close friends who could depend on him for life and death. The young-looking junior in front of him has clear eyebrows and a calm expression. He is neither humble nor arrogant in his actions and actions, with a calmness and restraint that is inconsistent with his cultivation...
When he first arrived at Qingyou Valley, Lin Yi was injured and had to go into seclusion. Baicaozi didn't know much about him, and he was busy treating his disciples, so they had no interaction with each other. At this time, no less than that day, the two sides really met.
Lin Jiangxian took Lin Yi and sat on the mat next to the alchemy stove. He did not forget to tell anecdotes about the two's acquaintance, and even made fun of them from time to time. Baicaozi, on the other hand, smiled and twirled his beard, contentedly, silently sizing up the young man and the purple and gold gourd on his waist.
Later, Baicaozi asked Lin Yi where he was from and learned that he was just from a small sect on Yushan Island. He was a little curious, but remained silent.
Seeing this, Lin Yi asked: "When I came here just now, fellow Taoist Lin said that the senior wanted to talk to me..." He had a good impression of the master and the disciple, and when he saw Baicaozi's hesitation, he asked this question.
Lin Jiangxian glanced at his master, then turned to Lin Yi and said, "Haha! My old man was afraid that you would be in trouble, so he had some scruples!" Although he and Baicaozi were masters and disciples, they spoke extremely casually. But the other party has long been accustomed to it, and instead of disobeying it, he smiles. He then said: "Master, Brother Lin is not the kind of narrow-minded person. How about I say..."
"Actually, it's nothing..." Baicaozi looked at Lin Yi, held his long beard in his hand, and said leisurely: "I like two things in this life, one is elixirs, and the other is rare herbs! Where is I... I want to know you Where does the 'Liuhe Flower' come from! But..." Seeing that there was no difference in the other party's expression, he added: "Wherever there are thousands of years of medicinal herbs, there may be other unknown treasures of heaven and earth! If you can tell me about that place, I would like to broaden my horizons even if I come from Houtu Wonderland..."
After Baicaozi finished speaking, both master and disciple paid attention to Lin Yi's expression. These herbs are by no means owned by Kyushu. The only place they come from is Houtu Wonderland. But people who have been to Fairyland in the past have never collected herbs like this...
It is not difficult to imagine what medicinal herbs mean to a person who likes alchemy. Understanding the situation, but unable to tell the truth, Lin Yi had to smile, his robe sleeves flicked, and a pile of jade boxes appeared in front of the three of them. He ignored the other party's surprise and opened them one by one, saying: "These herbs were obtained by the juniors when they traveled on the sea, but their true origins are unknown. Seniors are knowledgeable, so you might as well give me some advice on this! If you need it, , even if you take it, it can still be regarded as the younger generation’s thoughtfulness..."
Dozens of jade boxes contained elixirs from Xuantian Fairyland, and the cave was suddenly filled with a rich fragrance. Seeing this, the master and the disciple were surprised. Lin Jiangxian let out a low cry, his eyes a little busy. Baicaozi lost his composure just now, stood up suddenly, his long beard trembled, stretched out his fingers and laughed out loud: "Ten Thousand Years Immortal Zhi, Ten Thousand Years Fairy Orchid... This is it? Ah... Ah Ten Thousand Years Dragon Scale Grass! Could it be the Ten Thousand Years of Heavenly Star Grass? They are all herbs that have existed for thousands of years. In the past, they were only stored in classics, but today we have seen their true form! No! But these ordinary things are called medicinal herbs. Miraculous medicine, magical medicine! It is truly a blessing to be able to see these magical medicines in the fairyland in my lifetime... This life is enough!"
Overjoyed, Baicao old man was almost crazy, couldn't help himself, his eyebrows were dancing, and he was laughing again and again! But Lin Jiangxian finally took his eyes away from these elixirs, feeling confused and kept handing them over in thanks!
Looking at the pair of master and disciple in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of another person who was also obsessed with alchemy! These elixirs were originally reserved for Mr. Ruoshui, but things in the world are unpredictable and life and death are unpredictable. However...
There are not many alchemy masters in Daxia, and many of the spiritual medicines from Xuantian Fairyland are probably not used for their purpose! Along the way, I have obtained a lot of natural treasures by killing people and robbing money or being given by others, but my own alchemy skills are superficial and I have no time to study this art. At this moment, I will take out a portion of the samples I carry with me and give it to Master Baicao and his disciples, which can be regarded as making the best use of them!
"These are all given to me..." At this time, Master Baicao is like a child, with a smile on his face, but still with an unbelievable expression.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's right!"
"Great!" After Master Baicao praised, he was in high spirits. He waved his robe sleeves to collect the jade box, smiled at Lin Yi and said, "It's impolite to come without returning the favor! From today on, the quiet room next to it can be used by you. You will also have a portion of the pills made from these spiritual medicines! In addition, I will also give you a furnace of "Infant Transformation Pills"!"
Lin Yi did not understand the previous words, but he remembered the "Infant Transformation Pills" in his heart. This elixir is hard to come by, but now there is a furnace... There is a good chance of forming a fetus! He hurriedly stood up and thanked: "Thank you, senior..."
"Hehe!" After Lin Jiangxian was overjoyed, he suddenly rolled his eyes and laughed slyly. He said to Lin Yi: "Except for me, Master never allows others to watch when he refines the elixir..." Seeing that the other party was confused, he pretended to be profound and said, "It can be seen that my brothers in the Lin family are deeply favored by the old man!"
Although Lin Jiangxian called him a brother, Lin Yi knew himself. After all, the other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator and a senior of the same path, and he still had due respect for him! But the sentence just now clearly had a hidden meaning, which could not help but make people guess.
After a while, Lin Yi suddenly realized! And he pretended not to know, just raised the corner of his mouth lightly, but his heart was full of emotion!
Back then, in order to continue the inheritance of the dilapidated Xuanyuan Temple, Lin Yi had also spent a lot of time thinking about it. In the end, it was because he accepted the brothers Yuanqing and Hongan that the mountain gate continued to grow. At this time, from Lin Jiangxian's cunning expression, he saw a familiar intention. The methods may be different, but the painstaking efforts are the same!
The old man Baicao is obsessed with the way of alchemy and remains infatuated, as can be seen from the situation just now. And the only disciple is also happy with this way, so the decline of Qingyou Valley is understandable. If there is a person with a similar temperament and trustworthy to join the mountain gate, it would be really happy for Lin Jiangxian.
However, Lin Yi still followed the kindness of the old man Baicao. He can watch and guess the great monks in the late Yuanying period refining the elixir, especially this old man is also a master of the way of alchemy. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, how can he miss it!
At least, from this master and disciple, Lin Yi did not see any bad intentions. This pair of people were as close as father and son, just like him and his master back then...
Lin Jiangxian's injuries had not yet fully healed, and his body was still a little weak. But he was in high spirits at the moment, and greeted Elder Baicao, saying that he would take his brothers to look around, and then pulled Lin Yi out of the cave.
Elder Baicao nodded in approval to his disciple, and motioned for Lin Yi to do as he pleased. After the two of them left the cave, he hurriedly took out the jade boxes containing spiritual medicines, opened them one by one with excitement, and appreciated them one by one...
...
"Qianli Qingyou Valley, in the eyes of others, should be named after the quietness and depth of the valley. In fact, it is not the case. Qingyou refers to a mountain and a stream. The northernmost mountain where my master and I are is Qingxia Mountain; 500 miles south of the valley, there is another stream named Youming Stream. The spiritual energy in these two places is the most concentrated..."
The two of them flew leisurely over the valley. Lin Jiangxian pointed at the dilapidated houses and caves that were vaguely visible under his finger, and said with some emotion: "... It was once bustling, but now it is deserted!"
Looking at the deep valley full of green, Lin Yi remembered the origin of Tianzhenmen. Compared with the Broken Jade Peak, this place is undoubtedly a good place for cultivation. He said: "Based on the reputation of Senior Baicao and the cultivation of fellow Daoist, it is not difficult to accept a disciple. But why...?"
With a tired look on his face, Lin Jiangxian simply threw out the flying sword and stepped on it. He walked side by side with Lin Yi and said: "You don't know! The way of alchemy is extremely energy-consuming, and it often leads to the neglect of one's own cultivation. It takes hundreds of years for the golden elixir to form a Yuanying. In the remaining time, to improve the cultivation of the early Yuanying to the perfection of the later stage, you have to rack your brains for the transformation of the spirit, and at the same time, you have to concentrate on studying the art of alchemy. Let me ask, who has the time and energy to accept and teach disciples? Besides, it is not so easy to find a disciple who suits your heart..."
At this point, Lin Jiangxian smiled and said: "It can be seen that the master likes you very much! If you are interested in the way of alchemy, I don't mind having another junior brother! From now on, Qingyou Valley will be handed over to you, which is also my second commitment How about a favor from you? "
Seeing Lin Yi smiled but didn't answer, Lin Jiangxian said indifferently: "It's not too late to talk about this later. I have something else to discuss with you now..."
Lin nodded and said: "You can talk about it..." The other party pondered for a moment and then said: "Among the spiritual medicines you gave to my master, there is no 'Yun Shen' required for refining 'Jia Tian Dan'. Although I don't know if it can be replaced by other herbs, I dare not delay it! Therefore..."
Lin Jiangxian stopped and said: "I will go out soon, and I am afraid I will not be able to return for three to five months! And my master will get so many spiritual medicines, he must concentrate on refining pills and have no time to take care of other things... If you are interested... please take care of Qingyou Valley for me!"
These words were just an excuse, and Lin Yi heard the underlying meaning. However, since he had made up his mind to stay for the time being, he would have to stay for a few months even if nothing happened... He then stopped and said, "Some trivial matters are insignificant! And this is a good place for meditation... …”
Hearing this, Lin Jiangxian chuckled, and then thought of something again, and hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, it is best to meditate here, and I will find a perfect place for you! Come with me..."
As the two of them walked forward, Lin Jiangxian said separately: "The Netherworld Stream is rich in aura, but it has been abandoned for many years. It is really a pity..."
The aura is strong and has been abandoned for many years? Lin Yi's heart moved...
