Chapter 180: Being Tricked

"Who can hurt me?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen has been staying in Sanyang City. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the ruins of Qingmu Sect?" Gu Yang said with a faint smile.

"Well, I don't know much, especially in the past two months of seclusion, I know even less. Why don't you let me broaden my horizons?" Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded.

"Qingmu Sect is a Yuanying Sect, covering a very large area. Many places are guarded by formations, which are very dangerous. Some places even have puppet mechanical beasts. Even after a thousand years, they can still operate. Among the twenty foundation-building people from Sanyang City, at least three died at the hands of those puppet beasts!" Gu Yang said.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Gu was also injured by those puppet beasts?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.

Puppet!

It is also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals!

However, this art is easy to learn but difficult to master, and it requires a lot of materials. It needs spirit stones to drive it, which is a big expense. It can only improve one's own combat power, but not the realm. In Yuezhou, there are very few inheritances. Chen Changsheng has never seen a puppeteer who practices puppetry since he started practicing.

"Of course not, I was seriously injured by a sneak attack..."

"You should have heard a rumor about me, right?" Gu Yang said softly.

"What you said, fellow Daoist Gu, is the Dust-Extinguishing Pill?" Chen Changsheng asked.

"Sure enough, even fellow Daoist Chen, who can't leave Sanyang City, knows it. Yes, it's the Dust-Extinguishing Pill!" Gu Yang nodded gently.

"The Qingmu Sect is a sect from a thousand years ago. Even if there are pills in the sect, a thousand years have passed. Could it be that this pill has not expired yet?" Chen Changsheng was surprised.

Pills are not infinitely shelf-stable...

If they are exposed to the air and not used, the spiritual energy will probably be exhausted in ten days or half a month, and it will become a waste pill!

Therefore, the elixir should be stored in a special jade bottle.

The jade bottle has the function of isolating spiritual energy, so storing it in a jade bottle can greatly delay the shelf life of the elixir.

Although Chen Changsheng has not done any experiments to determine how long the elixir stored in the jade bottle will last, no matter how you think about it, it should not exceed a thousand years...

"Shelf life? Haha, Daoyou's three words are quite appropriate. Ordinary elixirs stored in ordinary jade bottles naturally cannot be stored for such a long time. Not to mention a thousand years, even if they are stored for a hundred years, they will become poisonous pills..."

"But that's just an ordinary jade bottle. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are also some special instruments used to store elixirs. Not only will they not weaken the effect of the elixir, but they will even increase the efficacy of the medicine over time!" Gu Yang said with a smile.

"So magical? Can it increase the efficacy of the medicine?" Chen Changsheng felt that he had learned something new...

This knowledge point, Chen Changsheng had never seen in the books left by the Song family.

Obviously, although the Song family has a good foundation, it is a foundation-building family after all...

Gu Yang's master is the Three Yang Patriarch, and he must have been exposed to much more information than the Song family.

"That's natural. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless magical skills and secrets... Even for this foundation-building, and even the golden elixir... In fact, there are shortcuts... It just costs a lot..." Gu Yang said.

"What? Foundation-building, golden elixir, there are shortcuts? Is it true?" Chen Changsheng couldn't help but widen his eyes...

Foundation-building is easy to say, but there are shortcuts for golden elixir?

Isn't it nonsense?

"Haha, of course it's true. I had a good drink today, and Brother Chen and I hit it off again. Originally, ordinary foundation-building people are not qualified to know such secrets, but Brother Chen is not an outsider, so I will tell you..."

"Brother Chen, do you know the method of fake elixir?" Gu Yang smiled and suddenly drank a big mouthful of peach blossom drunk...

"I don't know!" Chen Changsheng shook his head.

"Haha, then fellow Taoist must know about the Little Demon Pill, right?" Gu Yang said with a smile.

"Well, of course I know this. Most of the Qigong cultivators in Sanyang City come here for the Little Demon Pill!" Chen Changsheng nodded.

"In fact, the so-called external pill method is to use the demon pill. A few second-level demon beasts will have the Little Demon Pill, but the third-level big demon will definitely have the real demon pill, similar to the golden pill of our human cultivators!"

"This thing, through a specific way, allows the cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building to refine it, and can be used to replace the cultivator's golden pill!"

"Because it is replaced by the demon pill, not the real golden pill, it is also called the fake pill cultivator, but the magical powers of the fake pill cultivator are not much different from those of the real golden pill cultivator, and the life span can also reach as much as 500 years!"

"In other words, as long as you can get a third-level demon pill, you can let the foundation-building cultivator upgrade to the fake pill!" Gu Yang said, with a trace of longing in his eyes...

The method is there, but where can I find the third-level demon pill?

After all, a third-level monster is at the same level as the Golden Core Ancestor. Who has the ability to kill it?

"Should there be any disadvantages?" Chen Changsheng asked carefully.

Is it so easy to become a Golden Core?

I always feel that something is wrong...

"Disadvantages? Of course there are disadvantages. Using a monster pill to replace a Golden Core is a tricky method after all. The price is that you will always be trapped in the early stage of the Golden Core and your cultivation will never improve..."

"But compared to the benefits of refining a monster pill, this disadvantage is nothing..."

"After all, that is a Golden Core. How many Golden Core cultivators are there in our entire Yuezhou? At most, there are only six Golden Core cultivators in the five major sects plus my master!" Gu Yang said.

"Ah? Six? There is only one Jindan cultivator in each of the five major sects?" Chen Changsheng asked in surprise.

"Of course, how many do you think there are? Is it so easy to find a Jindan master?"

"Even these six Jindans are not all real Jindans. The one from the Giant Sword Sect uses a fake Jindan method!" Gu Yang curled his lips and said disdainfully.

The most important thing for the five major sects is to ensure inheritance!

Once the sect is in a period of transition, it will use its foundation. For example, a third-level demon pill is one of its foundations. As long as it is successfully refined, even if it only becomes a fake pill cultivator, it can protect the sect for hundreds of years...

In fact, in Yuezhou, whether it is a golden pill or a fake pill, it is the same...

Yuezhou is relatively barren, and it is more difficult to practice after entering the golden pill stage. Throughout the ages, countless golden pill cultivators have died in the early stage of the golden pill, so there is not much difference...

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. As a disciple of the Three Yang Patriarch, Fellow Daoist Gu knows so many secrets!" Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for what Gu Yang said, it might take him a long time to know that there is a shortcut to forging the golden elixir, and that the golden elixir of the Giant Sword Sect was actually a fake elixir cultivator...

"It's okay, I just happened to hear Master talking about it when he was preaching..."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I treat you as my true confidant!" Suddenly, Gu Yang said meaningfully to Chen Changsheng...

And Chen Changsheng suddenly choked in his heart...

It's bad, I fell into a trap...

Gu Yang said so much to me, it was premeditated!

This guy, is he trying to do something bad to me...
