Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 261 Danfang
"Oh, the world is impermanent..." Xiao Yuxi shook his head and sighed, "However, I never imagined that what Duke Yong Chong failed to accomplish back then, Duke Shouyang would soon accomplish..."

"Ah? Which father-in-law is this?" Li Fan didn't react.

Xiao Yuzhen was not surprised by his personality, and explained, "What kind of father-in-law? It's the current imperial governor, Duke of Shouyang County, Sima Xuanwen, Li Lang, you don't know the way of the fairy palace, so don't mix it up. Regarding the matters of the three major factions, just remember to walk the world in the future, and never offend the people in the Taifu's house. Alas, that prince who is really in charge of the world is really much stronger than my father."

Li Fan didn't quite understand, "Well, there are actually quite a lot of people who are better than Lord Xiao, right? Cough, I mean, is it considered that Sanyuan's defeated army and general in Kun Kingdom are still very powerful?"

Xiao Yuxi smiled, "Since the Immortal Venerable, the only one who can lead the family of the Immortals, control the six tribes of the three palaces, the four guards, and the army of the northern and southern palaces, is the current Tai Tuo alone.

Now that Wen Tianjun is dead, and there are endless turmoil in the kingdoms, there is no vassal king or lord who can challenge Sanyuan. I heard that even the Nine Daxuan sects have joined forces with the Taifu in order to concentrate on dealing with the divine religion. Taifeng is almost being controlled by the Taifu's residence.

Although I am a woman, I can see that the revival of the Immortal Palace and the unification of the world are unstoppable.In short, the world seems to be in chaos for a while, but the general situation will soon become clear, and you will know it when you look at it. "

It was unexpected that Xiao Yuxi was so optimistic about Sanyuan's Grand Tutor, Li Fan. Of course, he didn't look down on him, but based on his own contact, he always felt that among the current three major sects, the Immortal Palace sect was obviously inferior to the Xuanmen and God sects. The education is inferior, simply relying on the shadow of the ancestors, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, struggling to support it.

But if you think about it carefully, since the death of the Immortal Lord, the Immortal Palace has been in the midst of chaotic infighting among various factions in the central area, among the immortal clan and army.It is really not fair to compare the current strength of division and internal friction with the divine religion that is united in one mind, and with the nine sects gathered through Yuntai Peak.Perhaps it is true as Xiao Yuxi said, when the Grand Tutor's Mansion dominates the unification of the Immortal Palace, this is the veritable Three Great Sects, right?
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Li Fan, and if you have to say it, Mo Zhushan seems to be considered as a Taifu, right?Doesn't the man in Taifu's mansion still owe him a sum of wages? It can be seen that he, Li Fan, and everyone from the three major factions are good friends who have friendship!
Well, it’s not poor anymore, Xiao Yuxi doesn’t know if it’s perfumed or powdered, she has a dark fragrance on her body, and she doesn’t know if it’s the heat or something, she was writing a few words with a brush and was taken off by the shawl, revealing her roundness With pink shoulders and a pair of arms like jade shoots, he would rub against Li Fan's side from time to time, which made him restless.

So in order not to interfere with her silent writing of "Lingshu", Li Fan chose to "leave voluntarily" at this point of disagreement in the plot.

It happened that Zhou Chengxue came to play with him.

"Brother Li, I heard that you went out to sea to hunt down monsters? Did you hunt some good things? Do you want to take you to exchange some magic treasures and talismans?"

"Oh, it's just some strange things, but I gave the materials of the monsters to the two of the Ling family to exchange business. There are also some things that I picked up at the bottom of the sea nearby. They should be unowned. Brother Zhou, help me look at them. See if it's worth anything."

After all, his task is actually to 'protect the sisters of the Ling family'. Now everyone is honest and friendly, and it's okay to bring a few monsters, and the key is to get through them to get rid of the evil octopus and the magic tire. , Go to the official channel of the real palace and poke it on the table.He really wanted to see how the upper echelons of Penglai would react when the spies of the divine sect had arrived at the door.

"Of course...fuck it!" Zhou Chengxue took a glance at the storage jade handed over by Li Fan and almost bit his tongue, "Could these be Brother Li's collection over the years?"

Li Fan shook his head, "No, just picked it this time, the East China Sea is really rich. Rare treasures can be found everywhere, and I collected so many by just picking it up casually. I am so lucky to join Penglai."

Zhou Chengxue was a little dumbfounded, "Really? So there are so rich in Penglai? Is the thousand-year-old Honglan coral also available anywhere? Why have I never encountered it?"

"Hong Lan... oh, this one, I came across it by chance when I was chasing monsters, such a big piece took up too much space, so I cut off some others and threw them away, why is this thing so rare? Isn't coral everywhere? Yes, I thought it was shiny and pretty, so I took some and planned to make jewelry for Yuxi, what is the use of this thing? Is it used to build a foundation?" Li Fan said half-truly and half-falsely. Lie Lie.

Zhou Chengxue covered his heart, took three deep breaths, muttered a few words like 'foolish people have stupid blessings', and then he calmed down and said, "Honglan coral can not only be used as a great treasure for building foundations, but also can be used to refine Medicinal pills, brother Li, it’s a little presumptuous to say that, you have collected so many materials this time, I wonder if I can let you try to make a furnace of medicinal pills for you?”

"Oh? Brother Zhou, do you want to make alchemy? Okay, okay, can you let me see it when I see it? I don't mean to steal a teacher. I'm just a man in a mountain. I've never seen a fairy making alchemy. I'm really curious."

Li Fan is not surprised by Zhou Chengxue's enthusiasm. After all, Penglai is like this. The chances of alchemy in the sect are occupied by those Taoists who are at the top. Ordinary alchemists have to ask the disciples who have collected the materials to help them alchemy Hands-on.

However, Li Fan has never seen anyone else practice alchemy, after all, alchemy in this world is a core secret.Although he has nothing to do, he ate one, and he ate nearly a hundred of them, and he has never practiced a furnace himself.

Zhou Chengxue was very happy, and he took Li Fan and flew towards the smoky Taoist palaces, "Why not, I originally asked you to help, don't worry, you have collected so many treasures, I will subsidize some auxiliary materials for you , you can refine Donghua Changchun Pill."

"Ah? So you can refine Donghua Changchun Dan with just these?" Li Fan was a little surprised, "It seems to be some very common seafood? I heard what you said, 'Supreme Baoling Fang, the famous Donghua Changchun Divine Pill!' So powerful, I thought it would take some dragon liver and phoenix gall to refine it."

Zhou Chengxue said with a smile, "Brother Li, you don't know anything about alchemy, but you've got the point. Let me ask you, are the alchemy formulas that need to be refined with rare materials more superior, or the alchemy formulas that can be refined with common materials?" Is it better?"

"Of course it is... oh, so it is."

After listening to Zhou Chengxue's explanation, Li Fan also understood a little bit.

Alchemy, in the final analysis, is to remove the impurities in the foreign matter, and keep as much refined essence as possible for the body to digest and take.But no matter how powerful the alchemist is, every time he refines and purifies the elixir, he will inevitably suffer losses, or even fail.

And high-grade spiritual materials such as dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder are already refined enough. To put it bluntly, wouldn't it be beautiful to make immortal food, and it would even be fresher to eat directly, so why take the risk of using it to make alchemy?And if there is any alchemy formula, it must be made with extremely rare key materials, then in the end it is not how powerful the alchemy is, but the effect of the materials is particularly significant, right?
"Of course, those old-fashioned ancient sects still focused on fully utilizing the characteristics of the genius and the earth treasure itself, and pursued the extreme state of pill effect. After all, at that time, all kinds of materials were scarce, and everything was lacking, and everything had to be contended for. Panaceas are not meant for everyone.

However, over the years, with the completion of Yuntai Peak, the nine major sects have continued to exchange the five arts, and more and more people have practiced Taoism. The frequency has increased, at least Taoism has made many innovations and improvements in the way of alchemy.

Especially to improve those top-grade pills with excellent medicinal effects, research and use various common medicinal materials, gradually replace those rare genius treasures, and pursue production on the basis of maintaining the efficacy of pills, so that all kinds of elixir Medicine, at least for the disciples of the inner sect, is no longer something that cannot be sought after. "

While talking, Zhou Chengxue took Li Fanfei to the top of Penglai Mountain, and with a move of the jade pendant in his hand, he opened a restriction and entered the Penglai Cave.

At a glance, there are huge Taoist palaces built on the floating fairy island all around. The palaces and palaces are connected into one piece. From the top of the towers and pavilions, there are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and seven-colored clouds and mist filling the sky and the earth. The clouds and mist are everywhere, really like a fairyland on earth, covering the stretches of fairy islands for a period of time.

But these smoke clouds are not as beautiful and harmless as they seem.These are not illusions, but the smoke from the alchemy furnace.

"Be careful of these clouds of smoke, erysipelas is very strong." Zhou Chengxue spread his hands, revealing a magic weapon, emitting a breeze to blow away the smoke and dust around three feet, forming a spherical protective air shield around him and Li Fan.Then he pointed to those palaces, "These are all refining Donghua Changchun Dan."

"All of them?" Li Fan was taken aback when he heard this. This is the size of a Louguanta town, but it's just an alchemy workshop in Penglai?No, this can't be called a workshop anymore, it's already a factory, right?

Zhou Chengxue took a sapphire gourd from his bosom, poured a piece of Donghua Changchun pill to Li Fan, and explained, "This pill is the foundation of my Penglai overseas sect, which can compete with the rich families of the Central Plains and gain a foothold in the nine great sects." .

Back then, the Nine Turns Donghua Changchun Pill developed by my alchemy master had a miraculous effect on recovering Taoist injuries. It was just the first generation of Dan Fang, which not only used Qilin, Mirage Pearl, Fritillaria, Qingluan, Canglong, etc. Beasts, but also all kinds of rare and rare treasures.However, such a refined elixir is indeed infinitely effective. With only half of it under the tongue, the Taoist body will be able to inexhaustible essence and blood, and will be endlessly alive. Instant recovery.It can be said that I took advantage of all the advantages during the fight, so you can also see that I, Penglai, have passed the Nine Palaces so far, and my masters are like clouds, and I am powerful all day long.

"Is this also from Rank Nine?" Li Fan frowned and looked at it, and it was indeed changed. The smell of this pill was much weaker than those refined by the master.

"Today's alchemy formula has been changed. Back then, Donghua Changchun Dan was an elixir that could only be used by the headmaster, palace master, and first-level disciples. Now the scales, bones, minions, and rare treasures of those gods and beasts have all been replaced. It has become a common material in the East China Sea, and the medicine obtained through refining and purification can achieve a similar effect.

Of course, such an alchemy has little effect on the Dao body of the great monk of Huashen, but the gods naturally have other substitutes. Anyway, there are countless secret recipes for the magic pill of that level. What is lacking is spiritual materials, so it doesn't matter if you use other ones . "

Li Fan frowned, "But this can't be regarded as 'Nine Turns Donghua Changchun Pill', can it?"

Zhou Chengxue said with a smile, "Why not? I, Penglai, said it was Changchun Pill, and Yuntaifeng also said it was Changchun Pill, so it is true. Besides, the effect of this pill is still the same. It is already enough to save the lives of disciples in the Jindan stage. Enough, Nascent Soul realm can still be used to heal injuries. And if you want, you can continue to add materials to refine and gradually improve the efficacy of the medicine. It’s just a little difference in the medicine’s strength.”

Zhou Chengxue took Li Fan into an unoccupied Taoist palace on the outskirts. It was probably his own alchemy workshop. There was a huge three-foot-tall alchemy furnace inside. Like, but the furnace tripod is divided into nine layers, from top to bottom, there are unicorn, basalt, green dragon, toad, white tiger, suanni, rosefinch, chi kiss, and the carvings of bully.

But it looks like it's all dusty, it's been a long time since I haven't used it, can you...

"Here, put on these clothes."

Zhou Chengxue arranged for a while with the storage jade and his own inventory, then gave Li Fan a blue Taoist robe, covered his face with a gauze scarf, and then took Li Fan to the Taoist palace inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Fan felt that something was wrong. How should I put it, it was too modern.At the beginning, the style of Zhou Chengxue's alchemy workshop was relatively normal, with a strong taste of cultivating immortals, but the alchemy workshop of Penglai Zongmen was different!The painting style is different!It's really a factory!

To enter the factory, you have to go through seven or eight doors. When you open the door, there will be gusts of fresh air blowing out. The ground is still made of soft anti-static materials. It is clearly a standard negative pressure dust-free workshop!The boys who come and go inside are all wearing Taoist uniforms and masked faces, and they are also equipped with spirit jewels and jade gas shields to protect the body, so that no trace of hair will fall on the ground, and most of them are 'things', all of them are spirit boys!This can be regarded as a factory without 'people'!

Every palace has an exhaust system, the outside is cloudy and misty, and the inside is a breeze without any impurities. Moreover, the pill furnace is not made of bronze, it has been polished so that it shines brightly. It is obviously some kind of alloy, but the basic The structure is still there, with nine upper and lower floors, all with pipes and feeding ports.

Li Fan was so dumbfounded, Zhou Chengxue gave him a hand and took him to the next workshop, where he saw a lot of velvet antlers laid out in trays, which looked like...

"The unicorn horns are not the horns of the auspicious unicorns, but the horns of the Eastern Sea Spirit Race. They will be exchanged regularly, and they will be sold to the sect. The quantity is sufficient, and they can be used after refining." Zhou Chengxue pointed to Li as he spoke. Where to look.

Just in the nearby workshop, there was a boy who took the spirit horns and fed them. First, he used Jianguang to grind and smash them, and then put them in the alchemy furnace and added the alchemy liquid to refine them, and a jelly-like gel was produced.Most of them were placed in the jade box and transported to the next workshop, and after negotiating with Zhou Chengxue, a boy cut off a piece and took it away for him.However, there seems to be a magic circle restriction in this factory, and storage jade cannot be used, so Li Fan put it in a box and carried it.

There are also other similar workshops, and I went around and took about [-] to [-] kinds of ingredients and auxiliary materials. They are indeed common materials in the East China Sea such as pearl coral herbs, and they are continuously processed into various powders and solutions by the boys. , Colloids are all ingredients for large-scale production.I also borrowed a cart, and the layers were full.

It can be seen that the Penglai sect also takes care of inner disciples like Zhou Chengxue. You can get a month off first, and make some semi-finished products to make alchemy yourself, as long as you replenish the corresponding materials afterwards. Anyway, this kind of factory is obviously large-scale production, assembly line It doesn't matter if you don't take a stop.With such a large-scale production, the cost of Donghua Changchun Dan must have been kept quite low.

Zhou Chengxue got enough materials, took Li Fan out, and pointed out the Taoist palace inside, "I can't take you in there to have a look, it's the forbidden place where the alchemy is finally refined, and there are many high-grade artifacts inside." And the genius land treasure used for refining.

In the past, the alchemist at least had to be responsible for the refining part, but the prescription has been improved, and the elders have to practice, now it is all done by the disciples who have passed the alchemist examination in various mountains. Our Penglai is Xia Chengming of Zhizhen Palace.

Such Danfang, Yingzhou Fanghu also has one each, and you have seen the top three results on the list, right? A total of four to five hundred pieces can be produced every month.

According to the agreement with Yuntai Peak, my Jiuzhenzong pays [-] Jiuzhuan Donghua Changchun Pills every month, and distributes them to the Nine Daxuanmen in exchange for raw materials and materials from other sects. This is a permanent mission, and the extra Part of it is rewarded to alchemists. "

Li Fan couldn't help frowning, "But isn't this the resource of the sect? Isn't the first place on the list more than 100 for nothing?"

"You mean Xu Chengyang? Oh, in fact, it can't be counted that way. Working for the sect will definitely delay your own cultivation time, and the risk of refining pills is still very high, even if the recipes are changed, even those refined pill furnace magic weapons , are also high-grade artifacts, but after tempering to rank nine, the risk of scrapping the pill is still very high.

I have roughly calculated the input materials. If the refining materials are sufficient, the output of a single workshop should be on the scale of a thousand pills, but the final product is only one or two hundred. It can be seen that the yield rate is not high, and it takes nine to refine. Turns out, you can only refine one batch at most in a month, and some refined processes can take at least a few days. If you miss it, all the rewards you have accumulated before will be returned without mentioning it. The case of pills is not uncommon.If they fail one after another, even Daozi's position may not be guaranteed.

Of course, being able to actually practice your hands, as well as the guidance of many seniors in the alchemy workshop, is of great benefit to the cultivation of alchemy. "
