Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 108: New Year’s Eve, leap over the Dragon Gate, break the second limit of the physical body, bones like glass and blood like gold!

Xu Li, a great alchemist from Jiangyin Prefecture who is well-known in the Dongcanghai area, really didn't expect this.

Huang Xuan.

As the number one donor in the pharmacy, Xu Li was naturally no stranger to it.

He was born into a family of pharmacists and was one of the 'Nine Masters' of the pharmacy, and his right-hand man in his middle age.

But later on, he fell ill and lost his power, and he disappeared from the city.

Speaking of which, a lot of his alchemy skills were taught by me in his early years.

Times have changed, and now it is today.

Xu Li could tell at a glance that Huang Xuan was already in his twilight years, with one foot already in the coffin.

Even if the deep-seated illness in his body was cleared away, this would be the extent of his achievements in this life.

With such an identity and prospects, isn't it too much of a waste to use local treasures as medicine?
Huang Xuan also widened his eyes with a look of shock.

He had heard rumors long before that the great pharmacist Xu Li from the Jiangyin Prefecture Pharmacy was bringing his men to this 500-li mountain road to search for a Jade Marrow Cold Lotus, a treasure from the earth.

According to inertia, local treasures are rare and only found in one place at a time, and it is extremely difficult to find two of them in the world. In addition, after so many years of searching, Huang Xuan had already given up much hope.

But unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events!
For such a long time, whether as the head of Fengyun Club, the Ji boss of West Street, or the chief of Shandao, Ji Xiu always came to refine medicine regardless of the weather.
The only thing missing is today's seat.

It actually brought him such a big surprise that he almost couldn't breathe!
For a moment, old man Huang Xuan, who was wearing a woolen coat, felt a slight warmth in his heart. Then he thought of the past and couldn't help looking dazed.

More than a decade ago, he was also very successful and was considered a close confidant of the master in the "pharmacy" in the mansion.

Although he was a family-born son, no different from a "house slave", he was still granted a mansion and allowed to wear a long gown, which made him a respectable person.

The next step is to open a shop outside and become the chief shopkeeper. If you can go one step further, cultivate the spirit and soul, and reach the level of a qidao alchemist,
That is, from a "house slave" to "Xu Li" who is worshipped by the medicine store in front of him, they are both the same existence.

At that time, Huang Xuan was also very ambitious and thought that he was just one step away from success.

Therefore, he frequently showed up in front of the big master, hoping to accumulate merits in exchange for a secret method of spiritual power to break through the last bottleneck.

Unfortunately, he forgot a crucial truth.

Once a house slave, always a house slave. Before you take your adopted son and destiny into your own hands, your master can control you at will.

The more anxious one is to get promoted, the more likely one is to make mistakes. He was so impatient that he dared to take on any achievement or task.

One time, the master wanted to try a new medicine and needed a 'drug tester', who had to be an experienced alchemist to carefully experience the flaws and advantages of the medicine.

Faced with the secret method of Shenpo that promised great benefits, Huang Xuan gritted his teeth and accepted it.

It was this time that left him with a chronic illness, and Huang Xuan lived up to the trust and completed the task successfully, but it also left him with hidden dangers.

The master of the drug store saw that the effect of his trial medicine was so good. After he swallowed it, he pointed out all the shortcomings of the medicine, which enabled the new medicine to be successfully released and received a good response. Naturally, he was very kind to him.

He praised Huang Xuan highly, gave him secret methods, and kept his promise. He also made Huang Xuan famous and helped him gain more and more status.

only.
Some things, if you do them once, you will do them a second time, a third time.
You do a good job, your boss appreciates you, others are jealous of you, and now your boss wants you to do the same thing again, can you refuse?

you can not.

Otherwise it would be ungrateful.

Don't say you are not a 'Qi Dao Dan Master' yet.

Even if it really succeeds, it is the appreciation of the medicine store. If you betray the sect, it would be a betrayal of your master and ancestors, and you will be stabbed in the back.

As for not succeeding
The slaves in this world may give you clothes to wear, but it does not mean that you can really turn the tables and become the master.

If the master appreciates you, you are a human being.

The owner does not appreciate it.
How big is the pharmacy?
Someone in Jiangyin Prefecture once said this.

People born in the capital city.

In this life, we cannot avoid the 'Thirty-Six Trades'.

All their food, clothing, housing, transportation, daily living and daily necessities will be covered by the thirty-six trades and hundreds of businesses.

Just based on this point, you can imagine.

You don't be a slave.

There are many people who are willing to bow their heads!

So time and time again, naturally, Huang Xuan's body was completely worn down by the drug disease, and before his spirit and mind could grow stronger, he lost the opportunity to delve into the study of 'Qi Dao Dan Master'.

The so-called tea is cool when people leave.

If you are no longer useful, you will be demoted to a second-tier position. This is true for ordinary people, and even more so for a giant like a pharmacy.

I'll give you some severance pay and two maids, and leave you to live out the rest of your life in this house. That's pretty much it.

But gaining power and losing power only takes a thought. Without the glory, there will naturally be people who will take advantage of you. For a time, Huang Xuan even found it extremely difficult to buy medicine, refine medicine, and treat his stubborn illness.

As a last resort, this led him to leave for An Ning.

On the one hand, people hope to encounter good fortune and cure their chronic illness.

On the other hand, he was under pressure to make a living. As the secret medicines and elixirs in the city were monopolized by the pharmacies, he had to make elixirs for himself every day, but he could not earn any money.

If this continues, you will starve to death sooner or later, so it is better to go to a faraway county or village and become a worshipper of the local boss in the county, at least survival will not be difficult.

Looking at the chalcedony cold lotus swaying slightly in the night sky, like a dot of stars.
Huang Xuan pinched himself hard.

After a while, he said in a dry tone:

"Ji boy, I can't accept this thing."

"Take it. It will be much more useful to me in the future than giving me this rotten body."

"I"

However, before he could finish his words, Ji Xiu stuffed the treasure box into his arms.

The young man climbed onto the deer, facing the cold wind, his eyes were clear, and he just smiled:
"Old Huang, the treasures of the land are worth a fortune. How to deal with them is your business."

"But you helped me take a medicinal bath, broke my golden muscles and jade meridians, and helped me get out of trouble at the Fengyun Club. This is a favor."

"I promised to make pills for you. This is a promise I made after I learned your alchemy skills."

"As for this earth treasure, it is to repay your favor."

After saying this, Ji Xiu turned around and left without any further delay.

Huang Xuan was left looking at his back, speechless.

"He values righteousness over profit, and he is a young man of chivalrous spirit. He really has a broad mind."

Xu Li stood aside, watching this scene, and suddenly felt emotional, and then an idea came to his mind:
"If I could pass on my skills to a young man of this character and take him in, wouldn't he be a filial son and a virtuous disciple who would take care of me in my old age?"

Huang Xuan holding the treasure box:

"Master Ji is indeed very righteous."

"This has long been spread throughout Anning County. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to gain Duan Chenzhou's appreciation and County Master Zhao's respect and friendship."

The old man stared at the precious lotus in the box, forced himself to suppress the desire in his eyes, and closed them.

Looking at his actions, Xu Li laughed:
"I'm not the boss of our pharmacy, nor am I a businessman. I have my own ethics and will not steal other people's things. You don't have to..."

Huang Xuan shook his head:

"No, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to control my greed and swallow this treasure in one gulp."

Xu Li was stunned:

"That young man has given you the Jade Marrow Cold Lotus. To be honest, even if you don't refine this whole plant of earth treasure into a precious elixir, you can chew it up and swallow it directly. It will still be able to make your rotten body look brand new."

"What difference does it make whether you swallow it or not?"

Huang Xuan laughed at himself and knocked on the box:

"That kid is very clear-headed. He repaid a debt of favor with a plant of earth treasure. No matter how I deal with it, it is up to me."

"But he lives clearly, so how can I not understand?"

Xu Li paused:
"you mean"

Splashing towards the moonlight.

Old Man Huang, who was holding the Jade Marrow Cold Lotus tightly, bowed to the well-maintained Master Xu in front of him. Although he was 20 or 30 years older than him, he looked much younger than him. He said:
"You are such a noble person that I can ask a master of alchemy like you to personally come out to search for and refine the medicine."

"I don't know, who is this person?"

Xu Li was silent:

"There are some things you shouldn't ask."

Huang Xuan smiled:
"Before I left Jiangyin Prefecture, I heard a rumor."

"It is said that the Marquis of Bei Cang has a legitimate daughter who has some underlying illnesses and needs some rare treasures, precious animals, and precious fish to nourish her body all year round."

"Even though that marquis was listed in the 'Six Great Mysterious Books' as a marquis, his hereditary salary and fiefdom were almost emptied out." "I was lucky enough to hear some information back then. It was said that the noble was sent to Jiangyin Prefecture at that time."

"Now, let's calculate, it's time to grow up, right?"

"Of course, these are just speculations."

Marquis of Beicang was granted the title of Cangzhou.

Above Jiangyin Prefecture is Cangzhou.

When Huang Xuan said this, Xu Li was stunned: "You know a lot"

"At my age, I can just make some pills and bear it, but that kid is different. He still has a future."

"The founder of the Tiandao School is missing. Chen He and Duan Chenzhou are both geniuses, but they are too young. Compared with other schools, they are only at the level of a gym."

"Even if we don't talk about those old accounts, how many gym leaders are there who covet the inheritance and reputation of their schools? Can you bear to take a few more bites and take the foundation for yourself?"

"Senior Xu, I trust your character, old man."

"so."

"Can you give me, an old man, a ride on your way back?"

"I want to meet that noble lady and use the name 'Ji Xiu' to gain him wealth and glory."

Xu Li pondered:

"You want to use the treasures of the Earth Treasures to help him enter Jiangyin Prefecture in the future and get through to the Beicanghou Prefecture?"

"What's in it for you?"

"Besides, the situation of that lady is a bit tricky. One earth treasure can only alleviate her situation. I heard that if she doesn't go deep into the East Cang Sea and get rare treasures to nourish herself from time to time, the situation will only get worse."

"Why did Luo Daocheng, the general of the Jiangshui garrison in Jiangyin Prefecture, want to arrest Han Ying? On the one hand, it was because this traitor was bewitched by the Zhonghuang Sect, which brought shame to his reputation."

"The other reason is that the unfilial disciple stole the authority of the outer sect related to walking on water and waves that he was going to present to the 'Bei Cang Hou'. He made a boast but failed to deliver, so he was furious."

"To put it bluntly, Dibao is just a life-saving straw."

“Perhaps you really can’t trust my character.”

Having said that, Xu Li laughed.

"No problem, no problem, it's just a gamble."

"Let me tell you something."

"No matter how bad it is, no matter what, just by relying on this favor, I can squeeze out a place in the 'Fuyuan' from the schools, big schools, and dojos, and add a talisman. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Huang Xuan raised his eyelids and curled up the corners of his mouth.

Xu Li looked at the old man in sheepskin in front of him and sighed:
"You really put in the effort. I can see that you really want to find a future for that kid."

"Dibao got in touch with that noble person."

“He made the profit.”

"I will avoid telling the master of the pharmacy about this matter."

"That guy is indeed a good person, and I am very happy to see him, but how did he get in touch with Fan Nansong?"

"If not, I really want to receive a direct disciple here, ah!"

Hearing this, Huang Xuan smiled, did not respond, but bowed again.

After that, for several days.

After taking all the treasures and secret weapons from the Earth Dragon Cave.

The weather is cold, with frost, wind and snow, and the end of the year is just around the corner.

Ji Xiu had nothing to do, so he had some free time. He worked hard all day long, and learned Taoist seals and dragon blood bone tempering!

then.

In every corner of the house, one can see Ji Xiu visualizing and comprehending all the time, striving to comprehend all the eight hundred Dao Seals recorded in the 'Visualization Diagram of the Dao Seals of All Dharmas'.

[The person who grants the ordination should read the Taoist scripture thoroughly, understand the text and be granted the ordination. Study it a hundred times, and the difference will appear. Repay the advance progress +6]

[The person who grants the ordination should read the Taoist scripture thoroughly, understand the text and be granted the ordination. Study it a hundred times, and the difference will appear. Repay the advance progress +7]

This seal script is difficult to understand at first, but the more he learns it, the more powerful the spiritual thoughts it condenses become, and Ji Xiu's progress becomes more rapid!
In just a few days.

The progress bar of 800 has been completed!
[The Wanfa Daozhuan Visualization Diagram (800/800), advance payment completed! ]

【Break the bottleneck and achieve perfection! 】

[The first level of the current Taoist art: Learn the text and receive the talisman, and complete the practice! ]

【Learning the text and receiving the ordination】

[Practitioners read Taoist scriptures, concentrate their spirits, and live in the sea of ​​spiritual energy. They can control talismans, consume spiritual energy, and develop magical skills! 】

He watched Ji Xiu’s spirit grow stronger day by day.

Fan Nansong, who had been following Ji Wei, teaching her hand in hand and was about to invite this 'little master' back to Feixian Temple, almost dropped his eyes to the ground when he saw this scene.

Back then, it took him three full years to read through the eighty Taoist scriptures!
This is still above average.

It's unbelievable, what level of Taoist genius is this ancestor's brother?
Why do I feel like I have more potential to become an immortal than my ancestors?!

As the art of Taoism becomes more accomplished, the spirit and soul become more focused.

Ji Xiu could clearly sense it.
When he was in a state of enlightenment and comprehending the last volume of Transformation from a Mortal to Leaping over the Dragon Gate, and absorbing the dragon blood provided by Bai Shuo, both his progress and the degree of absorption were significantly accelerated.

For example, it can be seen from the fact that Bai Shuo would faint for a night every other day.

Boom, boom!

New Year's Eve.

evening.

The sky is blooming like morning glow.

At the back of Ji's house, Ji Wei, who was wearing a jacket and skirt, was happily pulling Lin Ruyue and Jiang Li, who was leaning against the wall, to set off fireworks.

Looking at the stars in the sky, like the Milky Way, the fireworks are clearing away the filth
Jiang Li leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of mortals.

How many years has it been since I last saw this scene?
Inside the East House.

Duan Chenzhou and Qin Zhuo sat opposite each other, looking at the fireworks in the sky, and said with a smile:

"After you spend the New Year with your junior brother, I will go back to the mansion with you to take care of some things."

at the same time
Inside Ji Zhai.

Bai Shuo was sweating profusely, his little face flushed as he looked at Ji Xiu in front of him with red eyes. He was no longer like at the beginning, who fell into a coma after practicing.

Like a small boat in the storm, force yourself to be patient.
[The master of the ordination swallows dragon blood to temper the twenty-four large dragon bones, making the tendons and bones jade-like, breaking through the extreme limit, and advance progress +2]

Four times in a row within a few days!
today
It's the last time.

But she always felt that the young man in front of her was as strong as a dragon and a tiger. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all because of the dragon blood entering his blood and marrow. It seemed that he could endure it better than her, a true dragon descendant!

This completely went against Bai Shuo's common sense and reminded her of the painful experiences of the past few days, making her want to cry but unable to.

My aunt's free blood donation is really a huge loss!
If this boy can't pay it back in the future, she will suffer a huge loss!
boom!
at this time.

Outside the window, the east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and fireworks fall like rain.

A dull sound like thunder.

Shocked the outside world.

Also
The young man's spine was crackling one section after another!
Bai Shuo just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Xiu suddenly stop sucking his fingers.

When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw, behind the strong arms of the half-bare body, with bursts of surging muffled sounds, there seemed to be the shadow of a real dragon, condensed at that moment!
Wow!
The blood is surging like a mighty river, almost forming a smoke screen!
Ji Xiu's eyes were bright as he stood up suddenly. The bones under his skin were no longer made of iron, silver or gold, but without a trace of impurities, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither clean nor dirty, just like colored glass!
The bones are like glass and jade!

Then, Ji Xiu gently raised his finger and cut a bloody wound.

In an instant!
There was a crackling sound!

A drop of golden hot blood dripped down and actually corroded a big hole in the stone bricks on the ground!
Looking at this situation.

Even if red gold comes, it can be melted, let alone humans!
Drops of blood melt gold!

[The master of the ordination, 'Transformed from a Mortal to a Dragon', has completed the advance payment.]

[The Master of the Scriptures breaks the second limit of the physical body, 'Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow'! 】

[The master of the ordination has obtained the characteristic, 'Dragonborn Treasure Bone'! 】

The second limit is a martial bone!
On the eve of the New Year, everything will come to fruition!
