Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 201 Yan Shitian

"The wedding venue is on the mountain behind the city lord's palace. It will officially start in a few days. Anyone who wants to watch the martial arts competition is welcome to come. Qingli, if you are interested, during this period of waiting for the black market to open, We can also go to the City Lord’s Mansion to watch them fight.”

Luo Qingli agreed with Ye Wangshu's suggestion. In addition to learning the fighting skills through actual combat, he could also gain a lot of inspiration from watching other people's competitions.

Youran San cultivator wants to recruit a son-in-law. According to the three requirements he put forward, the young talents who come are bound to be young talents among San cultivators. These people must also have their own uniqueness in fighting skills.

After the two agreed, they went to the market for a walk. Luo Qingli mainly went to the medicine hall to buy a lot of spiritual herbs. These spiritual herbs were of high value, but after showing the badge of the seventh-level alchemist, After discounting, I was able to save a lot of spiritual stones.

The shopkeeper held the alchemist badge in his hand. After confirming it again and again, he raised his eyes and said in surprise: "This fellow Taoist is Master Luo who won the first place in the alchemy exam in Taoyao Immortal City a month ago?"

Luo Qingli shook his head, "The master is not worthy of the shopkeeper's praise."

"Fellow Taoist, you are too modest. You are the first person in thousands of years to be able to win the title of seventh-level alchemist in the Central Plains Alchemy Master Assessment Competition." The shopkeeper sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I was not in Tao at that time. Yaoxian City, otherwise I will definitely go to see the Taoist friends."

The shopkeeper handed the badge back to Luo Qingli and re-calculated quickly. After the payment was completed, the shopkeeper suddenly smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Luo, my master loves to make friends the most. I would like to invite you upstairs." Let’s talk in private, I wonder if my friend can give me a favor?”

Luo Qingli's eyes flashed slightly, and Ye Wangshu couldn't help but frown, and said through a message: "Qingli, be careful if the person coming is not good."

Everyone knows that the leader of the alchemy test can receive a lot of rewards. In addition to spiritual stones, there are also pills refined by hundreds of alchemists. Such a fortune is enough to tempt some people.

The days when Luo Qingli won the championship in Taoyao Immortal City have passed, and this place is still some distance away from Taoyao Immortal City. However, the name Luo Qingli is still somewhat famous in the Central Plains, especially in major pharmaceutical companies. I'm afraid they are all strangers in the hall.

Luo Qingli was not very worried about this, "Since they know me, they should also know my identity and my master's reputation. Even in the Central Plains, many people know about it. If they want to do something blatantly, then they have to Don’t worry about my master or the Jade Toad Sect.”

Song Jinghong's reputation as "Female Rakshasa" is not pleasant to hear. She had a lot of blood on her hands when she was young, and she also had many enemies. But I have to say that just these four words "Jinghong Zhenjun" can do a lot of good. The deterrent effect is already considerable.

Ye Wangshu thought it made sense.

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face and said in a sincere tone: "Two fellow Taoists, my master sincerely invites you. He just wants to make friends with you. He has absolutely no evil intentions!"

Luo Qingli found it a bit funny to explain so deliberately, and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Since you are sincere, why didn't your master show up to invite you in person?"

The shopkeeper was slightly startled, but a clear laughter came from upstairs, "So, it is indeed Yan's fault."

A man wearing an indigo brocade robe in the late stage of foundation building walked down the stairs. This man was thin, handsome, and his eyebrows were delicate and even more delicate than the woman's. He glanced at the two of them and smiled gently. He gave a salute and said, "I have met two fellow Taoists in Yan ten days."

Ye Wangshu murmured: "Ten days? This name is quite special."

Yan Shitian smiled calmly and said: "My mother had difficulty in giving birth to Yan, and it took ten days of pain before she gave birth to Yan, so she gave Yan this name."

Ye Wangshu chuckled, "That's it."

Yan Shitian made a gesture of invitation, "Two fellow Taoists, could you please go upstairs and talk to me now?"

Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu looked at each other. When their eyes met, they already had the answer. Luo Qingli smiled slightly and said, "Then Taoist Lao Yan will lead the way."

Yan Shitian personally led them to the elegant room. At this time, wine and food had been prepared in the elegant room. Yan Shitian poured wine for the two of them, "Is this the first time for these two fellow Taoists to come back to Shouyue City? Youdao is universal. We are all brothers, and it is a great fate that we can meet here. It would be disrespectful to have a small amount of wine."

He took the lead in raising his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and raised their glasses.

This Yan Shitian is full of nobility, and it is obvious at a glance that he has an extraordinary background. He is also humble and elegant in every gesture. This table of fine wine and food is not commonplace. What is more interesting is that these food and wine have not been touched before, as if they were specially prepared for them. .

Luo Qingli couldn't help but ask: "Did Fellow Daoist Yan have expected that we were coming and prepared such a table of food and wine?"

Yan Shitian was slightly startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Luo is really interesting. This is the first time we have met, how can we prepare in advance? But I usually like to have a few drinks. Isn't this a chance meeting with these two Taoists? Friends?"

Luo Qingli smiled and said nothing, knowing very well that Yan Shitian's banquet with them was probably not really just to make friends or to fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

But since he wasn't in a hurry to say it, they didn't have to be in a hurry to ask.

The two sides started chatting at the wine table.

Yan Shitian was indeed hospitable. Hearing that they were new to Shouyue City, he volunteered to be their guide, "Two fellow Taoists, this Shouyue City is very famous in the Central Plains. The most famous one is the black market. This black market is divided into many areas, and I am very familiar with them. The black market will open in a while, and I can guide you there, and you can often find good things there."

"That's great." Ye Wangshu glanced at him up and down, and suddenly asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Yan, during this period, Shouyue City is very busy because of martial arts competitions to recruit brides. I see that you are young and have a lot of talent. , the cultivation level is also quite good, I wonder if it meets the three requirements of the city lord to marry a beautiful girl back home?"

Yan Shitian shook his head, "I do meet the three conditions for marriage competition, but I really have no interest in this matter. In this life, what I want is to be free and easy. People in the world run for the election just for the position of city lord. That leisurely The San people love their daughter so much, and after the martial arts competition to find a son-in-law, they will inevitably put forward many conditions..." At this point, Yan Shitian took a sip of wine and sighed softly, "The road to cultivation is long, I am alone, without worries, and free. Zi Zi, even if I have a Taoist partner in the future, they will be people who share my mind and share the same goals. Then we can pursue the road to immortality together. If not, Yan would rather live alone."

"Well said!" Ye Wangshu clapped his hands and said, "My dear fellow Taoist Yan, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Luo Qingli smiled and raised his glass as well.

Youran Sanren agreed to be the city lord of Shouyue City. This was a temptation that many people could not ignore. It could be said that the people who came to Shouyue City to compete in martial arts and recruit wives were all for this reason.

With Yan Shitian's conditions and his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, he can definitely be regarded as the best among casual cultivators. If he goes to participate in the competition, the possibility of being selected in the end is not small, so he can remain unmoved. That is indeed quite principled.

Yan Shitian gave people the impression that he was an elegant, humble and handsome young man. Under his guidance, the place was never cold, and the topics came one after another without making people feel the slightest embarrassment.

The three of them talked freely and drank for three rounds. At this time, Yan Shitian finally got down to the topic, "It's really lucky for you two Taoist friends to meet you here. I can't hide it from you. This time, Yan has something to do with me." beg."

Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu had already been mentally prepared, and they were not surprised at all when they heard this.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you might as well talk about it first." Luo Qingli was not in a hurry to refuse. Yan Shitian only started to invite them upstairs after she showed the seventh-level alchemist badge, probably for matters related to alchemy.

If she was just refining alchemy, it would not be difficult for her if she was below the seventh level.

"I wonder if you two have ever heard of a secret realm in the Central Plains called Chongyuan Secret Realm?"

Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu looked at each other and shook their heads.

Yan Shitian said calmly: "Both Taoist friends are Nanzhao monks. They may not know much about the Central Plains. This is normal. This Chongyuan secret realm is located in the northwest of the Central Plains. It consists of several Taoist pagodas nearby. Under joint control, only monks in the foundation-building stage are allowed to enter."

"It is said that the Chongyuan Secret Realm was an independent space set up by a powerful monk from a large sect in ancient times. It was mainly used to test and select the disciples of the sect. However, with the changes in the environment of the Central Plains, the sect no longer existed, and this secret realm also Then it disappeared without a trace until almost 3000 years ago, a monk from the Central Plains found the specific location of the secret realm based on ancient records, and jointly opened it with several Nascent Soul monks."

"The secret realm has been silent for tens of thousands of years, and there are many spiritual herbs that are ten thousand years old. The monks who entered the secret realm at that time all returned with a full load. It was a sensation. But later, as the secret realm was opened again and again, it was worth picking. There are fewer and fewer good things, and now it has basically become a special place to test foundation-building monks."

After listening to what Yan Shitian said, Luo Qingli and Ye Wangshu had a rough understanding. This Chongyuan secret realm can be said to be a secret realm controlled by Zhongyuan. It is not a special place, and the location is relatively remote. In Nanzhao The spread is not very big.

Yan Shitian said: "Both fellow Taoists are alchemy masters, and they should have a thorough understanding of spiritual herbs. Have you ever heard of a spiritual herb called White Moon Grass?"

"White Moon Grass?" Luo Qingli had heard of it, but... "This kind of spiritual grass seems to be basically extinct, right?"

As time goes by, many ancient varieties of spiritual herbs have gradually disappeared and are now difficult to find. Therefore, some ancient elixirs cannot be refined because of the lack of these medicinal materials. They can only find other substitutes with similar medicinal properties. It can be refined, but if no replacement can be found, then these ancient elixir recipes can only remain silent.

White Moon Grass is one of these disappearing varieties, but the uses of this spiritual grass are not very wide. What Luo Qingli knows is that this White Moon Grass is used to refine a sixth-level elixir called Soul-fixing Pill. It is one of the auxiliary drugs, and there is really no other substitute.

Yan Shitian nodded lightly, "In the outside world, the White Moon Grass has indeed been basically extinct, but the Chongyuan Secret Realm is an independent space carved out by the great powers in ancient times. The environment is different from the world of immortality we live in now. There are some outside world Spiritual herbs that are already very rare can still be found inside, and White Moon Grass is one of them."

At this point, Luo Qingli probably understood Yan Shitian's intention.

Yan Shitian probably needs to use the White Moon Grass to make elixirs, and wants to enter the Chongyuan Secret Realm to pick the spiritual grass.

It's just that this White Moon Grass is the same as the Xuyu Water Realm she once went to Xuyu Lake to get. It is extremely difficult to store. Even if it is placed in a jade box made of spiritual jade, it can only maintain its freshness for five days at most. After five days, It's just a piece of waste.

It may take more than five days from picking it to taking it out of the secret realm. At that time, even if Yan Shitian brings the White Moon Grass out, it will be useless. Then he can only bring an alchemist in, pick the White Moon Grass, and start on the spot. Refining elixirs.

Sure enough, what Yan Shitian said next meant almost the same thing, "This Chongyuan Secret Realm will only be opened every 50 years. It takes a total of one month from opening to closing each time. In less than half a year, the secret realm will be opened. I have almost gathered the ingredients for the sixth-level soul-fixing pill that I need, but now I only need this white moon grass..."

"This secret realm can only be entered by monks in the Foundation Establishment stage, but the sixth-level alchemy masters in the Foundation Establishment stage are too difficult to find. The ones I know are really not accessible. If you miss this time, you will have to wait another 50 years."

Yan Shitian looked at Luo Qingli and sighed softly: "Fellow Daoist Luo, you have the strength to refine seventh-level elixirs. This sixth-level soul-fixing elixir should be a piece of cake. I would like to invite Friend Luo to accompany me on a trip to Chongyuan." In the secret realm, after everything is done, Yan will be grateful."

This soul-stabilizing pill is actually a pill that can give a serious breath of relief to a seriously injured person. This pill can stabilize the monk's current injury. Each pill can last for ten years, and during this time, he can find another way. to treat injuries.

Just because of the irreplaceability of the White Moon Grass, and the fact that several of the main herbs are indeed relatively rare, the Soul-Calming Pill has not appeared for many years.

She looked at Ye Wangshu, who blinked and said through the voice: "Don't look at me, I'm asking you. Besides, you can practice the sixth-order elixir, but I can't."

Luo Qingli thought for a while, "Fellow Daoist Yan, what you said seems to be a bit one-sided. I know very little about the Chongyuan Secret Realm. I don't know what is in it. You just invite me to accompany you into the secret realm like this. I It’s hard to agree.”

"This is indeed Yan's abruptness." Yan Shitian took out a jade slip and handed it to her, "Fellow Daoist Luo, this is a detailed introduction to Chongyuan Secret Realm. You can read it carefully and don't rush to reply. When you have thought about it, then Tell Yan your decision.”
