Teacher is too tough

Chapter 182 Is this how alchemy works?

After coming out of the courtyard, Li Qingshi saw clearly that it was Zhao Xuanzai who was holding him under his ribs, these few surprises, the other senior Taoists were not able to stop him in the future.

After jumping out of the small courtyard, Zhao Xuanzai put Li Qingshi down, determined in his heart that he would not be afraid of his elder brothers robbing him again when he went outside, and everyone had to take care of his image, how decent it would be if his disciples caught him playing around.

"Follow me." Zhao Xuanzai left first with his sleeves fluttering.

Li Qingshi also heaved a sigh of relief, being kidnapped by this third senior brother also helped him out of the siege, and he stepped forward to keep up.

The two came to the ancient well that "directly leads to the netherworld", turned around a screen-like stone wall, and there was a hole behind it, and they didn't walk too far from the hole, and suddenly realized that there was a cave inside.

This is a place similar to a valley, with lush vegetation, quiet and quiet, isolated from the world.

Li Qingshi saw a hut in the east, and he thought it was the place where the third senior brother made alchemy.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuanzai led him there.

The elixir refined by Zhao Xuanzai is famous all over the world, and is called "Laojun Pill" by the world. Although it can't live forever after taking it, it has many functions such as strengthening the body, nourishing deficiency and rejuvenating the face.

There are many rich and wealthy pilgrims who went up the mountain and poured countless incense money, just to get this "Laojun Dan".

Of course, Zhao Xuanzai's alchemy was not limited to this one, he also refined many miraculous pills for healing or assisting in cultivation, such as Tongzhou Dan, Zhongjiu Pill, Taiyi Dan and so on.

It's just that these are never rumored, so they are not known to the world.

Entering the house, I saw that the furnishings were very simple. There was a huge alchemy stove in the middle, and a skylight was opened above the alchemy stove to evacuate the smoke. There was a book case inside, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it, and some miscellaneous items. Scattered on the ground.

Judging from the clutter of this room, this third senior brother is also a sloppy person.

Li Qingshi asked: "What kind of pill do you want to make, brother?"

Zhao Xuanzai put the alchemy ingredients into the alchemy furnace, and said: "Return to Yuan Dan." After a pause, he continued: "It is the Laojun Dan that the pilgrims said."

He lit the fire and said to Li Qingshi, "Look at the fire for me. I'm short of some medicine. I'll get it." He picked up a small pot and went out of the house.

Not long after, Zhao Xuanzai returned with a small pot, observing the fog on the top of the stove, as if he was waiting for the fire.

Li Qingshi glanced into the small pot, there was some yellow water in it, and a smell hit his face.

Zhao Xuanzai said suddenly: "The fire is here." He lifted the lid of the stove and poured the medicine in the jar.

Li Qingshi's face trembled, and he asked, "Senior brother, you are... urinating, right?" The smell he smelled just now was very similar to urine.

Zhao Xuanzai observed the fire and said, "No."

Li Qingshi heaved a sigh of relief. If Laojun Dan, who is sought after by the world, pissed, many people would not be able to accept it.

Then I heard Zhao Xuanzai say again: "I'm a boy peeing."

Li Qingshi's face froze, and after a while he asked: "You, did you go out to pee just now?"

Zhao Xuanzai looked normal and said: "That's right, you must use fresh ones." Glancing at Li Qingshi, he frowned and said, "What's your expression? Are you doubting the impoverished boy's body?"

Li Qingshi said with a dry smile: "No, no, that... I just think that senior brother seems to be a little angry, heh, heh heh."

There is urine in Laojun Dan, if this is known, will anyone come to Laojun Mountain to ask for medicine?Li Qingshi suddenly remembered that when he was injured by Tao Sanshan, Lao Junguan took out a lot of healing elixir, which must have been refined by the third senior brother.

Zhao Xuanzai asked: "What do you think?"

Li Qingshi said: "It's nothing, I just think it's a bit detrimental to hide this from those pilgrims who are asking for pills?"

Zhao Xuanzai said disapprovingly: "My elixir is beneficial to the human body, how can it be said to be harmful? It is for their own good not to tell it. If you tell them, they want to eat it but find it difficult to eat it. Isn't it a dilemma? So sometimes, knowing the truth is still a problem. It’s better to be kept in the dark.”

Without waiting for Li Qingshi to say more, he stuffed the small jar into Li Qingshi's arms and said, "Wash it for me."

Li Qingshi quickly reached out to pick it up, and in a panic, two drops of crystal clear yellow water fell out of the jar and landed on the back of his hand.

Seeing his expression of stepping on shit, Zhao Xuanzai said dissatisfiedly: "I am your senior brother after all, and at such an age, why are you so reluctant to help me with some work?"

Li Qingshi ran out of the door in a hurry: "How could it be, brother thinks too much."

Zhao Xuanzai looked at his back, stroking his beard and smiling, but the next moment his old face froze, he quickly raised the hand that was stroking his beard and looked, it was the left hand, he felt relieved.

I was holding the jar with my right hand just now.

When Li Qingshi came back, Zhao Xuanzai was thinking hard in front of the desk, so he leaned over to have a look, studying the alchemy formula.

Zhao Xuanzai said: "Take a look at this elixir, I think there are few medicines, and I don't know which medicine to use."

Li Qingshi took a look at the alchemy and said, "This seems to be a pill to assist cultivation?"

Zhao Xuanzai said: "That's right, I developed it recently. I named it Peiyuan Pill. It is said to assist in cultivation. In fact, the benefits are limited, but it is better than nothing."

Li Qingshi thought for a while and said, "The efficacy of this elixir seems to be similar to that of Wuxian elixir."

Zhao Xuanzai was taken aback, and asked, "Do you have the formula for Martial Immortal Pill?"

Li Qingshi said: "There is only one remnant recipe." The remnant recipe he got from Lu Qi had already been burned, but he had already memorized it by heart, so he picked up a pen and paper and wrote it out.

As soon as Zhao Xuanzai finished writing, he couldn't wait to snatch it in his hands, stared at it for a long time, and said, "It's really wonderful, but the few medicines that are missing may not be acceptable to righteous people."

Li Qingshi asked: "But you want the essence and blood of warriors?"

Zhao Xuanzai said solemnly: "That's right, it's rumored that this Martial Immortal Pill harms others and benefits oneself, and it's heresy, judging by this cripple, the rumors are true."

Li Qingshi took out the semi-finished Martial Immortal Pill refined by Lu Qi again, and said, "Senior brother, take a look at this pill again."

Zhao Xuanzai took it over and looked at it carefully for a while, then put it under his nose and smelled it for a while, his face suddenly became gloomy: "Where did this come from?"

Li Qingshi told the origin of this elixir.

Zhao Xuanzai's expression softened a little, but he still frowned and said, "I don't know how many lives are on this pill, and the medicine's properties are too strong, no matter who eats it, I'm afraid they will explode and die."

Li Qingshi has also researched this semi-finished Martial Immortal Pill, and the conclusion he got is the same as Zhao Xuanzai's. Back then, Lu's father and son secretly arrested many refugees. They thought they would first use people to test the medicine, and then use living people to make alchemy.

Before Li Qingshi's last great orifice has not made any progress, he did not try to take this semi-finished Martial Immortal Pill, because he was afraid that taking it again would not be as lucky as the first time, and because he guessed that this pill might kill someone, how could he continue to eat it? ?

At this time, the alchemy furnace on the side suddenly sneered, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see that the dense fog on the top of the furnace was getting thicker and thicker. Li Qingshi looked at Zhao Xuanzai with a dazed expression.

Zhao Xuanzai approached the alchemy furnace, listened carefully, observed for a while, and muttered: "What's going on, could it be because I've been a little angry recently?"

Li Qingshi was dumbfounded.

The hissing sound in the pill furnace became louder and louder, and the top of the furnace was steaming with fog. Since the furnace cover was locked, it was not lifted by the fog, but was propped up and down, and hit the furnace body, making a crackling sound.

Zhao Xuanzai took a step back, and said in a daze, "Is this going to explode?"

As soon as the words fell, the furnace body slapped a few times, Li Qingshi shouted: "Senior brother, be careful!" Before he had time to think, he dodged in front of Zhao Xuanzai, turned his back to the furnace, lowered his head and neck, and pushed his body Get in front of yourself as much as possible.

Then there was a loud bang, the alchemy furnace exploded, and the fragments flew around.

Li Qingshi shrank his neck, but when the fragments flew behind him, they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and bounced back.

After a long time, the dust settled.

Only then did Li Qingshi realize that he was not injured at all, and his clothes were not even scratched. I'm the one who should hide."

Zhao Xuanzai listened to the young man muttering, with a gentle smile on his face.
