Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1965 The Qionghua Elixir is Completed
Liu Qinghuan was speechless at the little stone monkey's rudeness.

"I don't know how to forge artifacts. I can do it with a storage ring, why would I need to forge a magic weapon?"

Moreover, he suddenly remembered that the little stone monkey could now speak human language very fluently and could clearly express his thoughts.

It turned out that it was unwilling to leave those stone Buddhas outside, yet also unwilling to put them in a dark and lifeless storage bag.

Therefore, he wanted a spatial artifact to build a pagoda inside, so that he could place and enshrine the stone Buddha.

Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a small grotto-heaven. Why don't you build the pagoda inside?"

"No!" The little stone monkey shook its head vigorously: "I want to carry it with me at all times so I can go in and see them anytime."

Seeing its insistence, perhaps there was a reason it had to do so. Liu Qinghuan pondered for a moment and nodded helplessly.

"Alright! Spatial magic treasures are rare, but not hard to find. I'll send a letter to ask Jin Jin if he has any."

If you already have one, there's no need to refine it separately. After all, refining a spatial magic weapon is quite troublesome, and having one ready-made is much more convenient.

After sending the little stone monkey away, Liu Qinghuan couldn't go into seclusion any longer because he needed to wait for a reply. So he called Xia Qingzhi over and prepared to refine several batches of Qionghua Pills.

The Jade Dew Qionghua Grass obtained from the Haotian Purgatory Tower has successfully produced several seeds after being nourished by the Azure Wood Qi for many consecutive days, thus ensuring that the main medicinal ingredient is no longer lacking.

Liu Qinghuan also temporarily moved the Lingxu Jade Flame Fire Vein from Songxi Cave Heaven to the underground of the Qingmu Hall on Jiuzang Mountain, making it more convenient for alchemy.

Soon, the aroma of medicine wafted from the alchemy room. Although there was a magic array to isolate it, it still attracted many spirit beasts living in the forests of Jiuzang Mountain.

News soon arrived from Jin Jin's side as well, with the delivery of a primordial magic treasure—the Glazed Fruit. Inside, there was a space that was neither too big nor too small, more than enough to build a pagoda.

"I've found you the magic weapon, but you'll have to build the tower yourself." Liu Qinghuan handed the shimmering, iridescent glass fruit to the little stone monkey: "Are you sure you can do it?"

The little stone monkey squeaked with delight, but after scratching its ears and cheeks for a while, it grabbed Zhang Yixuan, who was standing next to Liu Qinghuan.

Zhang Yixuan had become quite familiar with the little stone monkey these past few days, so he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Huitian, what are you doing?"

Liu Qinghuan understood its meaning: "Let Yixuan help you? That works too."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Yixuan could only agree, preparing to go to the Sutra Repository to find out how to build a pagoda.

Liu Qinghuan pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and made a gesture, creating a hole about half a person's height in front of him.

"baby!"

A moment later, the Mountain Spirit Doll appeared inside the cave entrance, looking out.

Liu Qinghuan instructed, "Is there a considerable amount of Heavenly Rank Spirit Wood, Crimson Blood Treasure Tree, stored in the storeroom? It would be perfect for building a Buddhist pagoda. Please fetch some."

The doll let out an "oh," and ran off into the distance. A moment later, it ran back and tossed out a storage bag.

Liu Qinghuan took it and handed it to Zhang Yixuan: "If you need any more spiritual materials, go to the treasure vault to find them, or have your senior brother Jiang buy them from outside."

The so-called treasure trove is Liu Qinghuan's own private treasury, which contains quite a lot of things, such as the top-grade water-based spiritual materials he obtained in the Mountain and Sea Ruins last time.

The little stone monkey happily pulled Zhang Yixuan away. Liu Qinghuan returned to the alchemy room, planning to send one of the Qionghua Pills to Jin Jin after it was finished.

one year later.

At the foot of Mount Jiuzang, the market, which resembles a small town, is still bustling with activity. Shops are filled with a constant stream of people, and cultivators from all over the world gather here.

Some came to hunt monsters, some wanted to explore the void beyond the Qingming border, and others came simply because they heard about it.

Although Liu Qinghuan rarely appears in public, his name as Dao Kui resounds throughout the cultivation world. Now that it is said that he has returned to Jiuzang Mountain, many cultivators have come to pay their respects with a sense of good fortune.

Seeing them is extremely difficult; one cannot even enter the gates of Jiuzang Mountain. However, it is said that the elixirs refined by Dao Kui can be bought in the market at the foot of the mountain. The origin of this rumor is unknown, but it has attracted a large number of people. Indeed, the shops run by the Wenshi Sect in the market sell elixirs with higher efficacy than those found elsewhere.

Because Liu Qinghuan was skilled in alchemy, three or four out of ten of his disciples followed suit when choosing a minor skill to cultivate.

Then, they discovered that the Sutra Repository contained a personal alchemy manual compiled by Liu Qinghuan, which recorded many unique experiences and secret recipes, thus improving the quality of the pills that the disciples refined.

Therefore, whenever new pills were put on the shelves in the Wenshi Sect's shops, some cultivators would come from other places and practically wear out the doorsteps.

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was crisp, without a single cloud in the sky.

The market was still bustling with people.

Suddenly, many people stopped and looked up at the sky.

"Did you feel it?"

"What? Ah, why is the flow of spiritual energy around us suddenly so fast!"

"Look, the spiritual energy is all converging on Mount Jiuzang!"

The spiritual energy gathered and flowed like colorful ribbons, drifting in from all directions and surging towards the summit of Jiuzang Mountain.

"What's going on? Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared?"

"Such a commotion, it seems indeed..."

Just as a group of people were getting restless, someone sneered, "Ignorant fool! This is a unique phenomenon of spiritual absorption in water-based alchemy, which only appears when the pill is about to be completed."

“Absorbing spirit? I remember now, the reason why water-based alchemy produces pills with higher medicinal value than other alchemy techniques is because of the step of absorbing spirit.”

"So, someone is refining pills on the mountain right now. I wonder who it is..."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people remembered that Dao Kui's most proficient alchemy technique was water-based alchemy.

"The Supreme Being of Taiwei is refining elixirs!"

"With such a grand display, it must be an extremely high-grade elixir, right?"

"I wonder if they'll put it up for sale..."

"What are you thinking? You can't afford pills that Dao Kui personally refined!"

For a time, opinions were divided, and the cultivators all looked eagerly toward the mountaintop.

At this moment, the sky was filled with the magnificent flowing clouds formed by the spiritual energy, and thick crimson clouds shrouded the Green Wood Palace. The mellow and refreshing medicinal fragrance could not be transmitted due to the restriction of the mountain-protecting array, but it circulated throughout Jiuzang Mountain.

On the mountainside, a Wenshi Sect disciple who had been stuck in the late Nascent Soul stage for a long time took a deep breath, feeling his chest filled with the fragrance of medicine and his spiritual power surging within him.

He quickly sat down cross-legged on the spot and entered a meditative state almost instantly, and his blocked cultivation began to loosen.

The other disciples also sensed the extraordinary nature of the medicinal fragrance, which could actually enhance their cultivation. So they desperately absorbed it while beginning their cultivation.

This magnificent scene lasted for nearly seven days. Later, the extremely rich medicinal fragrance could not even be contained by the protective array of Jiuzang Mountain, and it spread to the market outside.

Soon, the cultivators in the entire market were in an uproar, and some people who were not in the area also received the news and rushed to Jiuzang Mountain in a frenzy.

On the morning of the eighth day, suddenly, the top of Jiuzang Mountain was radiant with countless rays of light, and rolling clouds surged in all directions.

"Dan Cheng!"
