Chapter 3052 Hanging Thunder Venerable

"Liu Xuan, you should learn cultivation from Young Master Wei. I will prepare a Qi and Blood Pill for you soon!"

"Little Huo, Liu Xuan's aptitude is quite good. Observe how he cultivates after entering the realm. It will be easier to correct the mistakes you made in the early stages of cultivation after your body grows up!"

Even Huo Qubing could see through Wei Shao'er's little schemes, so Zhang Xuezhou would have no problem seeing through them either.

He wasn't stingy; he promised Huo Qubing he would teach him as much as he could learn.

Zhang Xuezhou believes that forcing someone to learn something they can't learn will only waste their time, given the numerous cases he has encountered in real life where people fail to learn it despite his extensive experience.

Only by learning step by step can Zhang Xuezhou teach us step by step.

He patted Liu Xuan on the shoulder, then winked at Huo Qubing, signaling Huo Qubing to follow Liu Xuan around more, as this might be more effective than following him.

They were not mediocre people either; their thoughts were focused on curing Huo Qubing's illness, while Liu Xuan used his magic to solve the problem, even mentioning that this situation would be of great benefit to Huo Qubing.

This means that Liu Xuan possessed the corresponding knowledge, or had access to classical texts, or had witnessed similar situations.

Zhang Xuezhou's judgment leans towards the former, believing that Liu Xuan and Li Shaojun obtained ancient inheritances in similar circumstances. However, he does not rule out the latter possibility, since Liu Xuan has the face of Emperor Gaozu in his youth, and there may be something else hidden beneath that face.

Huo Qubing was very clever, and adults were less wary of children. Zhang Xuezhou really hoped that Huo Qubing could benefit from the other party.

A simple arrangement was made, and the personnel were divided into two groups.

Wei Shao'er and the others took Liu Xuan back to the mansion, while Zhang Xuezhou and the others found a carriage and headed out of the city.

"You surnamed Dong, are you really going to refine a longevity elixir?"

Inside the carriage, Li Shaojun had regained his otherworldly appearance. Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, who had also changed his face, he couldn't figure out how Zhang Xuezhou's aging technique had made him younger, or how he needed to refine pills to keep Lei Zunzhe in suspense while satisfying him.

“They’ve already taken the risk, we have to give Venerable Lei an explanation,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"But I have absolutely no idea how to refine any longevity pills," Li Shaojun whispered. "I can pretend, but don't get me killed!"

"Don't worry, it won't kill us," Zhang Xuezhou said. "We'll refine both the inner and outer elixirs together. You can add whatever ingredients you have, and I'll add whatever ingredients I have. The effect will definitely be perfect!"

"Really?" Li Shaojun asked skeptically, "Isn't what you're doing just reckless alchemy?"

"Don't talk nonsense about refining pills!"

Zhang Xuezhou made a comment, but then did not respond to Li Shaojun.

He was haphazardly refining pills, but he still stuffed in genuine longevity pills.

If you mix genuine products with counterfeit ones, you can at least get some of the desired effect.

Zhang Xuezhou's poison resistance is almost maxed out, so he's not afraid to try the medicine. He can test it with Lei Zunzhe.

Zhang Xuezhou felt it was worth it to keep Lei Zun Zhe saddled with a longevity elixir.

Zhang Xuezhou also wanted to test the medicinal properties of the Longevity Elixir.

Although Laozi does not refine pills with toxic side effects, the pills he refines are all for cultivators, not for ordinary people. Zhang Xuezhou would not rashly give the medicine directly to his parents and others, lest a joyous occasion turn into a funeral.

"Cousin, how's the house over there being renovated?"

"Fifty percent of the work is finished, and it's habitable. All that's left is the finishing touches. We sold our property, and everyone has saved up quite a bit of money over the years. You also contributed some money, so the construction was completed very quickly. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and live with us!"

"I'm going there in another two weeks!"

Yanglingyi and Maoling, which Zhang Xuezhou was responsible for building, were not far apart, and using the means of flying, they were practically within arm's reach.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to frequently oversee the construction and repair of the mausoleum in the future, returning home would be very convenient.

"I was thinking of taking everyone over there for a look, so they could all benefit from it, and it would also make it easier to have a reason to do feng shui for rich people and build tombs in the future. It's safer to keep this kind of money from the dead..."

The people of Zhangjiazhuang are old and their eyesight is failing, making them prone to making mistakes when divination. However, finding burial sites for the dead doesn't pose any serious consequences.

Zhang Xuezhou was thinking of using the construction of Maoling as a way to enhance the prestige of everyone involved, and then expanding their business to include this project.

The two men whispered among themselves about how to charge for tomb construction and how to develop their jargon. Li Shaojun, listening nearby, felt his eyelids twitching. He realized these two cousins ​​were no different from himself; there was a reason why they all hung out together. Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding didn't hide their discussions from Li Shaojun. The reason was simple: they weren't in competition. Li Shaojun, with his own small business, could only hire people to build Taoist temples and solicit donations, while Zhang Xuezhou and his group involved a large group of elderly people, so they could only scatter money around and make a living through shady dealings.

"Knock knock!"

The two continued to talk in hushed tones until Li Shaojun tapped his knuckles rhythmically twice on the carriage, at which point they both stopped talking.

The curtain was lifted, and Lei Zun Zhe, dressed in linen clothes, boarded the carriage.

"Daozhang Li!"

Lei Zun Zhe glanced at Zhang Xuezhou and nodded, then clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to Li Shaojun. Li Shaojun stroked his beard and did not respond, but nodded in return.

"Go to Shanglinyuan with your license!"

Rong Tianding hung the token on the carriage, and the carriage immediately sped along the road outside the city.

"Nowadays……"

"I have already invited experts to help cut the spirit silk jade lotus root and extract the lotus root starch. I will refine another batch today!"

Lei Zun Zhe cautiously asked, and Li Shao Jun raised a finger.

After spouting nonsense that even he himself didn't believe, Lei Zun Zhe calmed down, while Li Shao Jun glanced at Zhang Xue Zhou unintentionally.

Li Shaojun was uncertain about the outcome. He couldn't afford to cause any more trouble and didn't want to anger Lei Zunzhe and get killed by him.

Although their cultivation levels are similar, the different cultivation techniques they use due to their different cultivation levels result in a significant difference in their combat strength.

If we were to rank the cultivators of the Three Realms, legendary powerhouses like Yuanshi Tianzun would be in the first tier, Lei Zunzun in the second tier, Cheng Bushi and some sect leaders in the third tier, military officers skilled in combat in the fourth tier, and Li Shaojun in the fifth tier.

Given the two-level difference in individual strength, and the fact that Li Shaojun didn't want to die, it's not surprising that he felt somewhat uneasy.

"I won't be waiting for long to refine the pills. You can wait outside for a while, and then we'll appreciate the pills together!"

Li Shaojun's posture was very appropriate.

He arrived at the place where Zhang Xuezhou was refining pills after being thoroughly investigated by the Imperial Guards, and acted as if he were the master of this side hall.

As they strolled along, Li Shaojun also gave instructions to Venerable Lei, causing Venerable Lei to look anxious but also have to patiently wait.

"Black gold, black gold..."

Li Shaojun entered the alchemy room first, while Lei Zunzhe whispered to Zhang Xuezhou, who wanted to follow.

"I have a feeling that this Young Master Li is unreliable," Venerable Lei whispered. "He seems to know nothing about the Longevity Elixir, and the medicinal materials he has taken do not involve any longevity-enhancing medicines!"

“I found out from Master Li that the Longevity Elixir involves thousand-year-old blood essence, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum sibiricum, bitter apricot, thousand-year-old ginseng, drunken peach, and silver fruit,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “He definitely doesn’t want to reveal the formula to you, so he’s deliberately pretending to be confused in front of you!”

“What you’re talking about is the real great medicine… Oh dear, this Taoist priest Li is quite shrewd. It turns out he was just trying to fool me,” Venerable Lei complained via voice transmission. “If he had just told me the names of these great medicines earlier, instead of trying to fool me with a few angelica roots, I wouldn’t be so worried about whether the longevity pills are reliable!”

"Master Li has refined longevity pills several times, but these large ingredients are scattered and difficult to form into pills. He thought of using the lotus root powder from the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root to knead and shape them!"

"He said yesterday that those three sections of old lotus root couldn't be cut, but today he's already made starch from them?"

"The lotus root is difficult to cut with a knife or sword, but if you boil it in water to make a lotus root soup, and then dry it to extract the starch!"

"He's really a genius to come up with such a method. When I was hungry, I craved the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, and I almost broke my teeth while biting into it. That thing is indeed difficult to handle!"

"Now that it's cleaned up, we can start refining pills!"

"Can it be done?"

……

Zhang Xuezhou and Lei Zunzhe whispered to each other, and Zhang Xuezhou eventually managed to fool Lei Zunzhe.

When Li Shaojun called out from inside the alchemy room, Zhang Xuezhou successfully shook off Lei Zunzhe and entered the alchemy room as well, where he met Li Shaojun, who had brought two angelica roots to make up the numbers.
