Qingyunxian

Chapter 21: Longevity Pill

Liu Xun counted the number of people in the tribe, eighteen young and strong men, and thirty-two old, weak, women and children.

Of the fifty savages, nearly half are going to die of old age.

If Tang hadn't been reluctant to abandon the old and weak, there might not even be fifty people now.

Liu Xun felt a headache. Even with his means, training a group of old and weak people was very troublesome.

Looking at Pu who was being supported and unable to walk on his own, Liu Xun's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

In the previous life, it is estimated that half of the people in this tribe died of old age before they were captured by Dalong City, and then the young and strong were fed to Meng Huai by Dalong City, resulting in no one left in the tribe.

In the gap space, these wild people had smiles on their faces as they were dealing with the wild beasts that were chased in by the birds and fire.

They feel very happy as long as they have a bite to eat.

Tang stroked the hair on his arm and asked expectantly, "Master Immortal, what should we do next?"

Since the oldest Bodhisattva in the tribe had spoken, Tang led his people to join Liu Xun's army and called Liu Xun the Immortal Lord, thus establishing the future relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

Liu Xun was looking through the tribe's martial arts techniques and the method of visualizing the celestial beings. When he heard Tang's question, he couldn't help but frown.

The martial arts practiced by Tang's tribe were not advanced. They merely imitated the butt of a wild boar, and the efficiency of body tempering was very low. No wonder Tang, as the leader, was only at the Body Tempering stage.

The heavenly immortal's visualization method is not even as good as Liu Xun's book visualization method in his previous life.

He couldn't imagine how a blade of grass could be transformed into a bird, so it was no wonder that it was covered in dust.

Liu Xun closed the yellowed animal skin scroll and tapped the stone table with his fingers.

"The martial arts method you practiced is not very good, and the beast blood you swallowed is not ideal. You need to give up your strength and practice again."

Liu Xun frowned slightly. The strength of the citizens not only affects the defense of Tianshang Yuncheng, but will also affect his own strength growth. As for the current strength and potential of the wild people, Liu Xun is very dissatisfied.

It would be better to give up your strength and practice again.

Anyway, the cultivation level of the wild people is not high, so what is destroyed is only the essence and blood in their bodies, and the previous body tempering effect is still retained.

Tang was embarrassed when he heard this: "It's okay for the young and strong people in the tribe, but do we also have to abolish the essence and blood of the old tribesmen?"

Liu Xun shook his head. The old savage was only hanging on by his last breath. If his essence and blood were destroyed, his remaining lifespan would probably be completely consumed.

Liu Xun also has a solution for this.

Flames appeared in his hands, which attracted some naturally flying birds and took back the fat-stealing blood in their bodies.

Liu Xun plans to refine a new batch of pills.

The blood pill refined from the essence and blood of ferocious beasts can make the Fu Bird grow stronger, but the evil spirit in it is so condensed that even young and strong warriors can hardly endure it.

Instead of using the essence and blood of auspicious beasts to refine the elixir, even for elderly people, there are no hidden dangers after swallowing it. On the contrary, it can slowly nourish the body and extend lifespan a little in disguise.

The elixir that Liu Xun wanted to refine was the Yan Yang elixir.

In his previous life, before obtaining the auspicious beast Chenghuang, Liu Xun searched all over the wilderness, looking for something that could prolong his life at any cost.

The Yan Yang Dan recipe is one of them.

The most suitable main ingredients for the Yanyang Pill are Yoshira's blood and Chenghuang's blood. Unfortunately, Yoshira and Chenghuang are both auspicious beasts. Riding the latter one can extend one's life by a thousand years, and riding the other can extend one's life by two thousand years. They are not easy to find.

Liu Xun continued to improve the recipe for the elixir, replacing the main ingredient with the blood of auspicious beasts. The essence and blood of other species of auspicious beasts could also be used as a substitute, but the effect of prolonging life would be greatly reduced.

The auxiliary medicine doesn’t matter, just use some aged Polygonatum sibiricum, Polygonum multiflorum, etc.

He has a lucky beast to steal fat, but what he lacks is adjuvant medicine.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xun threw the big pearl into the flames.

Swallowing the Great Pearl can increase the soul essence, which involves the soul, thoughts, and consciousness, and is the precious essence of the human soul. Since it can increase the soul essence, it can also play a role in strengthening the soul.

The large bead slowly rotated in the flames. As Liu Xun concentrated his mind and ignited the flames, the jade bead gradually softened into liquid.

Liu Xun put the fat-stealing blood into it, and the jade bead liquid immediately wrapped it up.

Covering his hands as a cover and using the flame as a furnace, Liu Xun played with the jade liquid in his hands. Threads of soul essence were poured into the mixed elixir liquid, slowly smoothing out the gap between the big pearl and the thief fat blood.

In a moment, the two merged together, and were divided into several balls by the flame, and then slowly turned into round and crystal pills.

On the surface of the crystal pill, there is a touch of red, like a bird spreading its wings, which looks very strange.

"The pill is made by the fire method, and the pill has bird patterns!" Liu Xun's eyes lit up and he put the pill into the stone bowl beside him.

The Yanyang Pill is more difficult to refine than the Blood Pill. Liu Xun has been immersed in the art of alchemy for a long time, but lacks an alchemy furnace and other auxiliary means. It is already difficult to make the pill with just his hands and ordinary fire. He did not expect that he could also produce bird patterns.

No matter what kind of elixir it is, if the elixir pattern that can show the characteristics of the main medicine when it is refined, this elixir must be a high-quality one, and its effectiveness can at least double the original level.

These one-pattern longevity pills in the stone bowl would surely be in great demand if they were put up for sale in the wilderness.

However, Liu Xun only made elixirs for the common people and had no plans to sell them for the time being.

Liu Xun picked up a Yan Yang Pill and narrowed his eyes. "Taking one Yan Yang Pill can extend your life by one year, and a pill with one pattern can extend your life by two years. Unfortunately, you can only take one Yan Yang Pill with different numbers of patterns. Taking more than one will have no effect."

Liu Xun threw a pill into his mouth, and it was just like chewing a candy pill, he didn't feel anything at all.

Having struggled for so long to prolong his life in his previous life, Liu Xun knew the importance of longevity, so he would not miss any opportunity to increase his lifespan in this life.

Liu Xun was still a teenager and didn’t feel anything about the two years’ increase in his lifespan.

He handed the Yanyang Pill in the stone bowl to Tang: "Give it to the elders in the tribe, one pill per person."

Tang picked up a pill and thought it looked pretty good, but he didn't know what the Immortal Lord was going to do.

When the elders of the tribe swallowed the Yanyang Pill, the changes that took place left Tang dumbfounded.

The changes in Bodhisattva were the most obvious. After the life span of Bodhisattva, who was as dry as a rotten wood, was increased by two years, his dry and white hair regained a little vitality, and his face also had a little more color.

He took two steps on his own without anyone's help. Although he was still a trembling old man, at least he didn't look like he was about to die as before.

The other old men also shed some of their deathly aura and became much more energetic.

Tang opened his mouth wide, his chest hair trembling, and hurriedly lowered his head to pick the stone bowl, but found that the bowl was empty. He immediately ran to Liu Xun: "Master Immortal, do you still have these meatballs?"

Liu Xun shook his head. The refined fat-stealing blood and large bead could only produce so many nourishing pills, which were barely enough.

Now at least we don’t have to worry about the elderly in the tribe dying of old age in a short time.

Liu Xun stood with his hands behind his back. He had paid so much for these things, so they certainly couldn't go to waste. Once the Tianshang Cloud City was built, these old people would have their own place to go.

"Tang, it's time for the young and strong men in the clan to eliminate the essence and blood in their bodies!" If Liu Xun wants to train his subordinates, he must start with the young and strong.

Tang nodded and called the members of the hunting team and the young and strong men who stayed behind in the tribe. Eighteen people lined up in front of Liu Xun.

Lu and Tao are also here.

Liu Xun looked at the young and strong people of different heights and weights, and read the confusion and expectation in their eyes. He slowly said, "The wilderness on the ground is dangerous, and the Cloud City in the sky is not necessarily very safe. Without sufficient strength, you can only be bullied by others."

"The cultivation method of the people on the ground is to swallow the essence and blood of animals into the body, use the essence and blood to temper the body, condense the evil spirit, produce changes, and temper the mind."

"Compared to the warriors in Anmin, you lost at the very beginning!"

"Swallow the blood of a wild beast to strengthen your body. It's better to go home and sleep with your wife!"
