After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 672: New cage, Rao Jiang’s horrific experience!
"Ah."

Tong Xin buried her head in eating noodles. After a while, she looked up at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, thank you so much for this. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this!"

"What are you saying thank you for? Is the technique given to me for free?"

Chen Yang shook his head. "We are friends, right? There is no need to be so hypocritical between friends."

He took Tong Xin's skills, so he should be in charge of this matter.

After getting to know Tong Xin, Chen Yang found that he was a decent person.

Moreover, Chen Yang helped him out of his own selfish motives. After all, the [Three One Five Tooth Sutra] given by Shi Ling was tempting enough.

……

After breakfast, Tong Xin packed up his things and left in a hurry.

He has his own car, so he doesn't need Chen Yang to take him there.

Chen Yang prepared some medicinal herbs and went to the backyard to continue his alchemy career.

Today, the Three Corpses Divine Tree will teach him the art of controlling elixirs.

It is said that it can improve the efficiency and quality of pill making, and is an essential skill for refining high-level pills.

In the backyard, Chen Yang lit the stove and soaked the medicinal materials in cold water in advance.

"This boy is indeed a bit pitiful. He has done nothing wrong, but he has to bear such a big blame. He must feel bad to be betrayed by his own family."

While Chen Yang was free making medicinal herbs, the Three Corpses Divine Tree started chatting with Chen Yang.

Even it finds childishness somewhat tragic.

"That's not how things should be viewed."

Chen Yang shook his head. "With Shi Ling here, I can't say it in front of her. Actually, I think this is not a bad thing for him."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The Three Corpses Divine Tree was a little confused.

Chen Yang said, "Although Shi Ling has taken over his body and used it to cultivate, it seems that Tong Xin has suffered a loss, but he is just an ordinary person with a life span of only a few decades. How long can she occupy Tong Xin's body to cultivate? One day, Tong Xin's life span is about to end. If it were you, what would you do?"

"I?"

The Three Corpse God Tree was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't this easy? Can't I help him improve his cultivation? With my ability, in a few decades, as long as his aptitude is not too bad, I can't say he can reach the Dao Zhen realm, but it shouldn't be difficult to break through to the Creation realm, right?"

Having said that, he seemed to understand something.

"Isn't that it?" Chen Yang shook his head. "If we talk about pitiful people, Shi Ling is the one who is pitiful. She was plotted against by Tong Xiao, who trapped her soul with a golden body and forced her to pass on her skills. And Tong Xian let her live in the body of his great-grandson. It seems that Shi Ling has gained something, but if you think about it carefully, he is also plotting against her..."

"What trapped her before was the golden body made by the Tong family, but now, isn't Tong Xin's body the new cage arranged for her by the Tong family?"

"If she intends to continue practicing in Tong Xin's body, she must help Tong Xin improve. The key is that it is all up to her own will. She won't feel that she has lost out. She said that Tong Xian is not as scheming as Tong Xiao, but I think that guiding her with benefits and going with the flow is what makes Tong Xian so smart..."

"Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run. Tong Xian is gambling on Shi Ling's kindness. He is not gambling on the present, but on the future of the Tong family..."

……

After hearing this, the Three Corpses Divine Tree remained silent for a long while.

"Well, you humans are very cunning. Now that you say that, I've learned my lesson."

After a while, the Three Corpses Divine Tree sighed, feeling quite emotional.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Ling seems to be a bit pitiful. She was plotted against by Tong Xiao once, and then she was plotted against by Tong Xian again. The key is that she still hasn't noticed the latter time.

Or maybe she already knew it, but was unwilling to admit it.

"Let's make the elixir."

Chen Yang shook his head. The world is dangerous and the key is to be strong enough.

The stove is already heated up and the herbs are already soaked.

What I am refining today is still Sanyuan Dan.

There are certain similarities between alchemy and medicine making, but alchemy is more complicated and sophisticated, and the process is more tedious.

To boil medicine, you just need to add water, control the heat, and when the time is up, you can directly take the medicine.

However, alchemy requires controlling fire and temperature to burn out the medicinal properties of various herbs and let them react with each other. This has certain similarities with chemical synthesis, including when to add which herbs, what temperature to use, and what reaction conditions. These all have their own particularities.

Especially some high-level elixirs have more stringent requirements.

Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to refine the pill just by relying on a pill recipe and knowing only the proportions of medicinal materials but not the steps of refining the pill.

Fortunately, Chen Yang has a famous teacher to guide him.

Saved a lot of trouble.

The art of controlling elixirs is an essential skill for some advanced alchemists.

In ordinary alchemy, after the medicinal materials enter the alchemy furnace and come into contact with the furnace, it is easy for the temperature to be uneven and cause burning, which will affect the quality of the pill and even make the pill waste.

This situation is very common in the process of alchemy.

The art of controlling the elixir is to artificially interfere with the elixir-making process after the medicinal materials are put into the furnace through the use of mental power, or the power of the soul.

This includes controlling the suspension of medicinal materials in the furnace, reducing contact with the furnace, and ensuring uniform heating.

In addition, there is the control of the reactions between medicinal materials. Mental power is like a pair of invisible hands that can replace the alchemist's hands in the scorching furnace temperature to classify the various medicinal materials, determine which ones to react with which first, and which ones to react with which next, making the alchemy process extremely precise.

In the final stage of pill making, the pill can also be split to control the shape, size and quantity of the pill. This is unlike the Sanyuan Pill that Chen Yang had refined before. No matter what, what was finally refined was a lump, and the size depended entirely on the amount of medicine added.

In short, the art of controlling elixir is a huge science.

Because it can be done very precisely, it is also easy to make mistakes. Every step of the reaction must be thoroughly understood. It is just like doing a chemical experiment. If you want to obtain a new substance, you have to be cautious in every step of the experiment.

When refining the elixir these days, the Three Corpses Divine Tree asked Chen Yang to use his divine sense to observe the situation in the furnace. This is the reason.

After explaining to Chen Yang the essentials of the art of controlling the elixir, the Three Corpse Divine Tree began to let Chen Yang practice it himself.

The Sanyuan Pill is just a basic medicine for the Three Corpses Divine Tree. For Chen Yang, he can afford to waste the medicinal materials, and his comprehension ability is also very strong.

After wasting two furnaces of medicinal materials in succession, Chen Yang gradually mastered the key points. Although he used his mental power, the strength also had to be controlled in a subtle and delicate manner.

At all times, he was very careful, first controlling the temperature of the fire to refine the herbs into juice, with liquid balls floating in the furnace, and then controlling the medicinal liquids to react with each other.

During this process, not only must the order of reactions be remembered, but also each batch must clearly remember what medicine it contains. This is a huge test for the alchemist.

……

More than an hour later.

Chen Yang opened the alchemy furnace and a wave of heat rushed out.

Five pills rushed out from the furnace mouth and hovered above the furnace mouth under Chen Yang's mental control.

Each of the emerald green pills is so round, emerald green all over, and exudes a strong medicinal fragrance.

Chen Yang had already prepared a porcelain bottle and put the five pills into the bottle one by one.

perfect!

Chen Yang's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he let out a long sigh.

He poured a pill from the bottle into his hand, with joy in the corners of his eyes, as if he was appreciating a perfect work of art.

This is the real elixir, what is the one I refined before?
Not only does it look beautiful and round and smooth, but you can also tell from the appearance that its quality is obviously much higher than those refined before.

"Yes, you are very talented." The Three Corpses Divine Tree also praised.

There are some people who, no matter how many times you teach them, they just cannot understand what you are saying. When they put it into action, they are clumsy and make all kinds of mistakes.

But there are some people who can grasp the essence of what you said if you give them a few pointers. They are not only good at hands-on learning, but also able to apply what they have learned to other situations.

This is the difference between poor students and good students, and Chen Yang can obviously be considered the latter.

Teachers should all like such students.

"Some people cook the same dish deliciously, while others cook it unpalatable. The same is true for alchemy. The quality of your pill can be considered above average. Compared with the pills you made before, the efficacy is definitely a step higher, but there is still room for improvement..."

"You are very talented, but don't be proud. You need to practice more. It takes more than one or two attempts to become a master of the art of refining and controlling pills. Talent is important, but diligence is equally important..."

"Summarize your gains and losses, and practice more during this period. When you can produce the [Three Yuan Pill] stably, we will try to refine the [Five Dragon Pill]."

……

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly to accept the instruction.

Seeing that it was still early, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and make another batch of steel, but Huang Can called and said that there was a visitor at home. Huang Can's girlfriend, Jiang Xiao'e, was coming to Jiapigou today.

For Huang Can, who is already 27 years old, this is definitely a major event in his life.

It was only eleven o'clock, and many people in the village were still picking tea leaves in the mountains, but Song Kaiming's house was already filled with smoke and the aroma of food.

In the village, when a girlfriend visits for the first time, she must be treated with great hospitality.

Huang Can and his sister don’t have many relatives, so they invited some good friends and neighbors to come and support the occasion, at least to make the girl feel that your family values ​​her very much.

When Chen Yang came over, the person had already arrived.

Sitting in the yard, a group of people were cracking melon seeds and chatting.

Although Chen Yang had never seen the girl in person, he had seen photos of her. There was not much difference between the girl in person and the photos. She looked very gentle and bookish.

Jiang Xiaofan is here too.

These two sisters are of completely different temperaments.

Jiang Xiao'e looks weak and fragile, the type that makes people feel pity for her, but Jiang Xiaofan, as everyone who knows her knows, although she has a good figure and looks cute, she is the type of person who is bold and unrestrained.

Her fists are really hard and it hurts when she hits someone. Two or three ordinary men may not be her match.

They were all young people, so naturally they had a lot of topics to talk about. Chen Yang sat and chatted with them for a while, and he clearly felt that Jiang Xiaofan didn't talk as much as before, and his mood was obviously not good.

Chen Yang looked towards Jiang Xiaoe.

Jiang Xiao'e shook her head gently, as if she was intentionally avoiding something.

Chen Yang was a little surprised.

I was curious, but I held back from asking.

In the middle of the trip, Jiang Xiaofan went to the toilet and Chen Yang took the opportunity to ask about the situation.

Jiang Xiao'e smiled bitterly, looked back in the direction of the toilet, and then whispered, "Xiaofan and the others went to Raojiang this time, and many people in the expedition team died. She was also quite frightened. She has been in a daze for a while since she came back. She used to be an outgoing person, but now she is like this. I took her to see a psychologist yesterday. Well, I thought of taking her out to breathe some fresh air and get some fresh air. Maybe she will feel better..."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be because of this.

A few days ago, Huang Can told him that when Jiang Xiaofan and his team went to Raojiang, the captain of the expedition team, Lei Anton, died. He didn't take it too seriously at first.

But now hearing what Jiang Xiao'e said, it seems that more than just Lei Anton died, so this matter might be a bit serious.

Chen Yang was about to ask about the details when Jiang Xiaofan came out of the bathroom.

Several people spoke furtively and quickly shut their mouths, no one said anything.

"what happened?"

Jiang Xiaofan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and looked at everyone in confusion.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Yang quickly changed the subject and suggested, "Shall we go see Huang Canxiu's new house?"

"it is good."

Jiang Xiao'e and Huang Can quickly agreed.

……

The four of them came out of Liziping and walked along the road towards Yangliuwan.

Huang Can and Jiang Xiao'e were in love, but gradually they fell behind. Jiang Xiaofan was obviously preoccupied, and unknowingly walked far ahead.

Chen Yang was walking in the middle. He looked back and felt embarrassed to be a third wheel. After hesitating for a moment, he quickened his pace and chased after Jiang Xiaofan.

"Xiao Fan!"

Jiang Xiaofan was staring blankly at the road, lost in thought. When he heard the shout, he was startled for a moment.

Turning around, he saw Chen Yang already next to him.

A small bottle was handed to her.

"what?"

Jiang Xiaofan looked at the thing Chen Yang handed over with some confusion.

Chen Yang said, "Fengyoujing, smell it and you will feel much better."

Jiang Xiaofan was slightly stunned.

She took the medicated oil handed to her by Chen Yang, unscrewed the lid, and put it under her nose and sniffed it.

A chill rushed straight to the top of my head, then spread to my chest, my whole body, and somewhere in my heart.

That feeling is like climbing to the top of a mountain, breathing a breath of fresh air, and my whole heart is opened.

"call……"

Jiang Xiaofan let out a long sigh, feeling that a lot of the depression that had been accumulating for many days was suddenly released.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

The wind oil rewarded by the system has the effect of dispelling illusions and calming the mind.

"Well, thank you."

Jiang Xiaofan nodded slightly. He was indeed in a much better mood and not as dazed as before.

She closed the bottle of medicated oil and handed it back to Chen Yang.

"Keep it. This is a gift for you. Whenever you are in a bad mood, smell it. It can help you fight depression." Chen Yang smiled.

Jiang Xiaofan paused.

She didn't bother to be polite with Chen Yang. She just said thank you and put the bottle into her handbag.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard something about you. Your sister said that you seemed to have been frightened. Some things will cause problems if you keep them in your heart. If possible, can you tell me what happened?"

Jiang Xiaofan paused when he heard this.

Then she gave another bitter smile. "I'm not scared. I'm not a coward. I was just wondering if the situation would be different if I had gone into the mountains with them that day. Would they have saved their lives?"

Chen Yang said, "Life and death are determined by fate. Everyone has his or her own destiny. You don't need to take the blame on yourself. There are not so many ifs in this world."

Jiang Xiaofan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, do you believe in those supernatural things in the world?"

"This one……"

Chen Yang was a little surprised why she asked this question.

Jiang Xiaofan smiled bitterly, perhaps thinking that his question was a little funny.

Chen Yang said, "I don't talk about strange things. Some things exist if you believe in them, but not if you don't. If you want to ask me whether I believe in them or not, I can only say that I believe in some things and don't believe in some things. It depends on what the specific thing is."

At this point, he looked at Jiang Xiaofan and asked, "Did you encounter something inexplicable in Raojiang this time? How did Captain Lei and the others die?"

Jiang Xiaofan's emotions obviously changed when he heard this.

"It's okay, tell me about it. I often go to the mountains and have seen a lot of strange things." Chen Yang said.

Jiang Xiaofan nodded, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, "A month ago, a group of fifteen of us arrived in Raojiang, and visited some villages and tourist attractions. We had a lot of fun at first..."

"Later, some team members said that they were not satisfied and wanted to explore Mount Ailao. Many people agreed. After all, everyone came together because of the adventure. Mount Ailao was so popular some time ago. The expedition to Mount Ailao was also in the plan for this trip to Raojiang. However, some team members felt it was dangerous, so the plan was shelved..."

"At that time, after someone brought up this topic again, the team split into two groups. One group felt it was too dangerous and didn't want to go, while the other group felt it was a pity not to go since they had finally come here..."

"Captain Lei said that those who don't want to go can wait at the Lotus Village outside the mountain, and those who want to go can bring their equipment and follow him into the mountain..."

"I wanted to go there very much, but my relatives came to visit me the day before I entered the mountain. I had a severe stomachache, so I had to give up the adventure and stay in Lianhua Village to wait for them..."

"There are eight people in total, including Team Lei, who went into the mountain. Their destination is a lake in the mountain, which is the location in the video that went viral online before. They will check in and come back. The plan is to stay for three days at most..."

"There were seven of us left. On the third day, no one came back. On the fourth day, no one came back either. We couldn't contact them and didn't know what happened..."

"On the night of the sixth day, Tian Hui, a member of our team, fled back to Lianhua Village in a very embarrassed state. His clothes were torn and his body was covered with wounds from thorns. He looked like he had not eaten for a long time and was starving..."

"We were all shocked and asked him what happened. Tian Hui seemed to be very frightened and spoke incoherently about his internal organs, ghosts, and dead people..."
