Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1178: Runyin
After hearing this, Li Ximing understood and secretly praised:

"So they're planning to deal with it together instead of asking for help from both families!"

Ji'an's plan could be said to be extremely perfect. Li Ximing's alchemy was not only well-known throughout the country, but was also well-known in the East China Sea. He was considered to be among the best in the world. Lihuo Mingyang was kind to him, and since Lihuo cultivators could not make elixirs, it was naturally most appropriate to find Mingyang!
So he laughed and said:

"Senior, do you have a recipe for the elixir?"

Ji An still had a look of uneasiness in his eyes. He clasped his hands together and said:
"There are a few, but they are just some loose prescriptions, and none of them are worthy of this kind of spiritual fruit... In my opinion, the medicinal properties must not be separated, but must be combined into one to make a profound pill!"

Li Ximing expected him to say this, but Li Jiangqian laughed and said:
"So, the Immortal exchanged a fire and a weapon for my family's skills, and exchanged the [Li Si Xing Fruit] for my family's Taoist lineage. But whether it's the life sensing technique or the Li Guang magic technique, it's more than just a spiritual object. Especially the life sensing technique, it's noble and mysterious. If you want to pass the purple level, you can use it as a reference."

Li Jiangqian still felt it was not enough, and said something nice, asking Ji'an to consider it. The newly promoted master spoke again:
"How about this? I will keep the Light-Separating Technique to myself and only give you a portion of the Life-Sensing Technique. This will also help fulfill my family's wish to keep this secret."

Ji An didn't really care how many spells he got in exchange, so he naturally agreed with a sigh of relief. However, the young man in front of him let him go, but then he picked up another thing:
"But refining the elixir is another matter. You still need to get the main ingredients, assistants, and spiritual resources. Since you have refined a large elixir, it has been even more troublesome for my elders..."

Li Jiangqian's words were obscure, but they were hinting at the method of alchemy - from a furnace of pills, the alchemist would usually withhold one or two pills. Since it was the only Xuan Dan, there was no place to replenish these one or two!
Ji An was quite old, so it was impossible for him not to understand. His eyes were blazing, and he looked rather happy than surprised, and he answered:
"If it can make a mysterious pill, I will not be stingy in thanking you!"

Li Jiangqian put on a smile and said:
"As the saying goes: [When the salary of an official is sufficient, rats will not steal]. Since you have given me the [Lisi Apricot Fruit], I will need your experience in the future. Although I have given you favors, I hope you will feel more at ease."

Ji An looked up in surprise, glanced at him, secretly exclaimed, and understood what he meant.

If he really wanted to calculate, Li could have done something with the elixir, put in a portion of spiritual fruit, secretly refined it into a mother-and-child elixir, kept a smaller one for himself, and used the remaining one to deceive him... It was extremely difficult to melt all the spiritual resources and spiritual objects into one elixir, but it was easier to refine it by dividing it into two!
As long as the method is perfect, he won't be able to tell anything. Li Ximing is also very skilled in alchemy and has a large number of auxiliary medicines. I'm afraid he won't be able to tell the difference after taking it!

Even Li Ximing couldn't figure out the details of the matter, but Li Jiangqian had been in charge for a very long time and had learned all the dirty tricks used by the independent cultivators and clan cultivators. He was very adept at it and pointed it out with a smile.

Ji An was afraid of being involved in karma when he went to Jiangnan, and most likely he would not be able to watch the pill being produced. He would rather the other party ask for more than let his only chance in life be ruined by the other party's greed. After hearing Li Jiangqian point out this suspicion and his intention to use him as a reference for future breakthroughs, all his doubts were gone, and he praised:
"As a noble, I am very confident!"

Li Jiangqian smiled but said nothing. He had just been promoted to the Purple Mansion, so he didn't need to make any solemn promises. However, he had the upper hand in the game, so Ji Anfu nodded and said willingly:
"I have also made it clear with His Highness that I will naturally be the one to find the assistant for this furnace of elixirs... I have made some preparations in advance, and I am afraid that I will have to spend all my life savings. However, I have lived to this day in vain, and I still have some connections. I can gather together and find two or three spiritual resources as collateral... It may not be impossible."

Li Jiangqian lowered his eyebrows slightly, considering how much more money he could squeeze out of the old man in front of him. Li Ximing, however, was observing Che Hong's attitude. He put down the cup and said in a voice transmission:

"The great formation in the west of Tingzhou needs to be set up, and spiritual resources are needed. It is better to accept it, which can also be regarded as giving face to Chunyi Dao... After all, if he passes the purple level, he will also be a great immortal."

Li Ximing advised secretly, and Li Jiangqian pretended to sigh, looked deeply at Ji'an, and said:
"Since you are from the same sect as me, I will only treat you as a fellow disciple. I will have many questions to ask in the future... Please allow me to bother you!"

When Ji An heard that Li had agreed, he was overjoyed and thanked her twice before saying:

"I will be staying at Chunyi from now on, Changli, feel free to come find me!"

The two parties reached an agreement. The old man smiled widely, and the wrinkles on his face were full of joy. He placed the [Red Gold Hundred Spin Spear] on the box and pushed it over, saying:

"My spiritual fires were originally stored in the old mountain gate, Yier Mountain. Who would have thought that when I went out that year, the spiritual atmosphere in Cangzhou changed, a flood occurred, and two spiritual fires were injured. It took me until today to recover!"

The old man did not move immediately, which made Li Jiangqian laugh. He took out a blank jade slip in his hand, and gathered his spiritual consciousness in it. Then rays of light gathered on it, making it red as fire. He gave it to Ji'an and said:

"please!"

Ji An nodded repeatedly, took it with both hands, closed his eyes, and read eagerly. After a long while, his eyes were full of shock, he let out a long breath and sighed:

"It's really wonderful! It's really wonderful..."

He only heard Li Jiangqian say that it was comparable to the treasure of the Immortal Sect, and thought it was just a few exaggerated words, but he never thought that every word was exquisite and far superior to his old skills! This made Ji An very happy:

"Well... there is no falsehood at all..."

As his spiritual consciousness withdrew, the fire attached to the jade slip began to rise, breaking the jade slip into pieces. Ji An stepped into the void in a trance and threw a sentence on the jade platform:

"Please wait a moment!"

The old man left in a hurry, and Che Hong finally spoke, saying:
"Thank you both for your help!"

He already had a jade slip in his hand, and he pushed it towards Li Ximing, saying seriously:
"These are the three types of pill recipes for avoiding disasters and calamities in the [Han Ye Jie Lin Dan Jing] that can be used for external cultivation. Please read them!"

Che Hong didn't even ask for anything, which made Li Ximing feel a little hesitant. He didn't know whether to accept or not, so he said politely:
"It is not appropriate to take away a fellow Taoist's precious Dharma for nothing..."

Che Hong's expression was quite relieved, and he said:
"You are too kind, my friend. This alchemy book is indeed valuable, but over the past few hundred years, it has been refined no more than ten times, and even fewer cultivators have come to borrow it... My friend, please read it first... and then you can ask for compensation."

Li Ximing had no choice but to take the jade slip and read it carefully with his eyes closed.

These three pills are the [Qingjie Wulou Dan] with [Yin Runyi Qi] as the main ingredient, the [Xuan'an Yinling Dan] with [An Ya Yue Zang] as the main ingredient, and the [Yin Mu Baoshen San] with [Chen Ye Mu Qi] as the main ingredient.

This medicine is unheard of and unseen, and the various keys to the methods contained in it are extremely difficult. Take the easiest one, [Yinmu Baoshen Powder], for example, its difficulty is comparable to the [Tianyi Tucuidan] of that year!
Seeing Li Ximing closing his eyes in deep thought, Che Hong sighed:

"In today's world, it's hard to even get a portion of the Sun and Moon spiritual essence, let alone the one in this pill recipe!"

Li Ximing opened his eyes, his face showing a complicated expression, and asked tentatively:
"Is there no other way?"

Che Hong paused and said carefully:
"You should know about the [Qing Yin Mother Medicine]... This thing has the wonderful property of transforming into various things. The lower part is Yin Shui, and the upper part is Tai Yin. I have a secret method in my Taoism called [Chan Xuan Ci Lin Chu Method], which can transform you into one of these three spiritual objects!"

He said so, but actually he did not hold too much hope. If Tingzhou was not backed by the fox clan, there was a high possibility that there were some Taiyin spiritual objects left. He would not even take out these things, but only told Li Xi about a few of the main medicines, so that he could retreat knowing the difficulty.

Li Ximing indeed showed a distressed look. After listening to this for a while, Li Jiangqian felt something in his heart:
"【Chanxuan Cilin Fa】, the art of transformation..."

His eyes were filled with deep thoughts. Li Ximing had already come up with an idea and said with a folded hand:

"I'm here to inquire about some spiritual objects... and you have practiced Taiyin for many years, do you have any spiritual objects or spiritual resources to use as a substitute?"

Che Hong hesitated and said:
"Yes, I do have a few sources of Taiyin spiritual resources and a few kinds of spiritual energy in my Dao, but they are not preserved in the Dao storehouse. I can look for them for you..."

Li Ximing originally got the [Yeja Spiritual Grass] from Chun Yidao, and gave it to Qu Si early when he was refining a halberd for Li Zhouwei. He also needed some Taiyin spiritual resources to assist him, and with Ji An's favor in mind, he accepted it calmly and pondered in silence.

Li Jiangqian waited for a while, and when the two had finished their conversation, he asked tentatively:
"[Chan Xuan Ci Lin Chu Fa]... There is such a wonderful technique that can easily perform the act of transformation. The younger generation looks up to the Taiyang Dao system like a mountain!"

Although the sun has lost its brilliance now, Che Hong still smiled and nodded when he heard this, saying:

"There are many ancient magic tricks. If you get one or two of them, you will gain all kinds of magical powers. It's a pity that I only got one of these magic tricks. I heard that there is another one in the Yuan Mansion that corresponds to it, called [Chanhua Neyuan Runfa], which can harmonize various waters and change one water virtue into another... The wonders in it are beyond words!"

When Li Jiangqian heard this, he was shocked. Even Li Ximing raised his head after hearing a few words. Both of them felt something strange in their hearts.

'To change one water virtue into another... this is...'

"【Leap Year Method】? ! "

The ancestors of the Li family got this method from the master Jun Jian. It is a wonderful technique to transform one fire virtue into another. Over the years, they have benefited a lot from it and have many ways to retreat... As the family gradually moves towards the peak, the more they see, the more they know how terrible this technique is. Now that they have heard such a similar technique, how can they not feel strange? !
"So, Yuanfu is using the [Leap Year Method] which is the opposite of this?"

Li Jiangqian's heart was filled with all kinds of strangeness, and he showed a look of amazement on his face and asked:

"There is actually such a magical method! Can you please discuss it in detail?"

Although Che Hong paused for a moment, he did not think it was strange. Which supernatural power would not stop and ask questions after hearing such a fairy method? After sorting it out for a while, he said:
"The origin of this technique is unknown, but it is said to be a secret method passed down from one of the three ancient Xuan sects. No one knows which Xuan Shou passed it down, but it became popular due to exchanges between Taoist sects..."

He laughed and said:
"Of course, this is only spread among the direct descendants of the Three Mysterious Ones, to transform spiritual objects and practice special techniques. Some say that there is a great way to travel through leap years and surplus years, or a wonderful technique to form a knot of lingyu. There is even... the True Lord Chilang of Tianlang Terrace once revealed in his sermon that [there is a way of evolution and a merit of transmutation. If you can obtain eight or nine out of ten of them, you can escape from the realm of immortals and gods and enter the gate of Zhengshi.]"

Li Ximing listened for a long time without saying anything, and murmured:

"To be an immortal or a god... Nowadays, cultivators all over the world are flocking to it, but becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, taking on the golden virtues, is not enough to be an immortal or a god?"

Che Hong was used to reading classics, so he didn't feel anything strange. But when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, chewed it over three times, and said:

"In ancient times, the leap years were complete. The so-called immortals and gods were probably far from reaching the highest peak."

Li Jiangqian silently noted it down, but was more concerned about the practical uses of the [Leap Year Method] and the [Leap Year Method], and said quietly:
"It is said that this immortal method has the great way of leap years and surplus years... I wonder who said this, and which master achieved this?"

Che Hong smiled and said:
"This can be regarded as the theory of my Taiyang Daoist lineage. As for the achievements, they are too numerous to count. There are famous ones... For example, the True Lord with the Taoist name [Chongli], who established the [Southern Fire Heavenly Palace] and was the backer of the Chu State. Later, a descendant of the Southern Fire Heavenly Palace, with the Taoist name [Nan Zhao], wanted to follow in his footsteps, but unfortunately failed..."

'【Nan Zhao】…'

Li Ximing's mind suddenly became bright.

This name is not unfamiliar. He is the owner of the spiritual treasure [Zhonghuo Liangmingyi] in Li Jiangqian's hand. His common name is Lu, and he also left a [Nanli Taking Method] in the spiritual treasure!
'His last words are in the Lingbao. He wanted to turn the tide and ascend to the position of Lihuo to save the overall situation of Douxuan. Unfortunately, he died in the end. Only a name and a regret are left, which have been passed down to this day...'

He just felt sighing, but Li Jiangqian seemed to have grasped something. He silently pinched the golden elixir-like magic treasure between his sleeves, with a thoughtful look.

'Li Fire has a master, and unless you seek the way of surplus or leap year, you cannot turn it into gold!'

"With the [Nanli Intake Method] and [Runyang Method] inherited from the Southern Fire Heavenly Palace, I have the qualifications to take a closer look. This is my chance... and it is very likely... that this is the path I will take in the future!"

He was lost in thought, but in just a moment, the old man in the red fire robe had come closer from afar, stepped out of the void, and came up to him with a cheerful look, saying with a smile:
"Two real people! Please look!"

Then he was seen holding a small incense burner in his palm. The whole body was made of brass, with a painting of phoenixes fighting for fire and engraved with patterns of mysterious avenue. There was piled up black sand inside. It was obviously only the size of a palm, but the ups and downs were numerous and small, as if a piece of black desert had been sucked into the furnace.

As his magical powers worked, a finger-sized fire quickly bloomed in the incense burner. It was a special jade-like brown-yellow color, with dense patterns on it, showing an extremely delicate shape.

Ji An smiled and said:

"This is the [Vast Flame], which I got from Jieyu Land. It has an infinite flame and a vast and boundless aura. It can't be made into a pill or refined into a weapon, but it has the grand meaning of tolerance and killing. It is really rare in today's world!"

"This fire is one of the few fires that is not afraid of the Earth Virtue. As long as the Earth Virtue has a leak, there is a chance for this flame to rise. Especially among the Earth Virtue, Xuan Tu is the one who is most severely suppressed by this flame!"
