I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 207 Elixir (+3)

Jiang She looked at the elixir bottle.

It was completely different from the original appearance of Qingxu Temple, with its aura flowing and unpredictable, as if it also contained Taoist principles.

He had never really needed these pills, and consuming them himself seemed pointless. Jiang She had initially thought these pills were ordinary, but then he recalled the strange phenomena that had occurred when he opened the bottles several times.

It should be well-refined.

"I refined a batch of pills before."

Jiang She looked at Li Xuan and said, "I'm giving you one today. What you get in return is up to you."

After saying that, he opened the medicine bottle.

A burst of pure, ethereal energy erupted forth.

In an instant, the entire forest rustled, thunder could be faintly heard on the horizon, and the vegetation swayed incessantly.

The old land was in a panic.

He quickly used his bamboo cane to brace himself against the ground, barely managing to suppress the strange noise in the forest and deter the wild animals and birds.

But then came the thunder in the distance…

Jiang She glanced at it.

"Don't worry about him."

Zhang Guolao watched from the side, a few white whiskers he had plucked out dangling from his hand.

Ignoring his pain, he carefully examined the pill and observed the strange phenomena in the world. The more he looked, the more alarmed he became.

The master hadn't mentioned that he could refine elixirs.

Zhang Guolao was puzzled, having never heard Li Bai or Yuan Danqiu mention it, and stayed in the courtyard to watch for three years.

When was this elixir made?
"This is……"

The City God and the civil and military judges stood by, watching and sensing the changes in heaven and earth. As ghosts and gods, they were even more terrified.

Their eyes were fixed on the blue pill.

If they weren't, after all, righteous gods, and hadn't heard a few words from Li Xuan, knowing that the person before them was an immortal with unfathomable Taoist magic.

They all wished they could snatch it away and keep it for themselves.

The drizzle seemed to possess a spirit, naturally following the changing patterns of the pure energy flowing through heaven and earth, and becoming one with that pill.

It surged into Li Xuan's body.

A new lease on life is on.

The meridians open.

The foundation of the Way is revealed.

Within a few breaths, a great change occurred.

Jiang She casually pointed, and Li Xuan fell to the ground, his burning body just half a zhang away.

"Close your eyes and concentrate!"

A cold wind howled and swept into the cave. Jiang She stood still amidst the storm, his clothes fluttering, but not a drop of rain on him. His gaze was leisurely fixed on Li Xuan, who was meditating.

aside.

The City God, the two judges, and the old local earth god were all stunned.

They realized that this was a rare opportunity that most spiritual practitioners, and even those like them who were considered spirits, could hardly hope for.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Xuan is just a ragged beggar today.

But with such a grand spectacle, the City God could even sense that the heavens and earth were subtly echoing the spirits of the immortals, foreshadowing Li Xuan's future path...

OK.

Dare not speak.

Many years from now, they will probably have to call him "Immortal Master" and address him as "Senior".

One can only observe quietly, contemplate the changes, feel the Taoist principles contained within, and try to grasp the subtleties within, hoping to gain some insight into them, which would greatly benefit one's own cultivation.

They are thinking.

Jiang She looked towards the faint rumble of thunder on the horizon, called back the cat that had been looking around, and left with Zhang Guolao.

……

……

When the City God came to his senses, it was already dark, and the rain was getting heavier. He and the others didn't know how long they had been standing there.

Li Xuan was still meditating.

They were still a little stunned, staring into the cave, but the immortal was nowhere to be seen. The gods had left without them noticing.

"The immortal has departed!"

Judge Wu said.

The atmosphere seemed to still linger between heaven and earth. The City God looked around but could not find any trace of the immortals. He then looked at Li Xuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and his gaze couldn't help but reveal envy.

The City God sighed.

"What an incredible opportunity..."

Judge Wen also said.

"Li Xuan is really lucky. I was shocked just looking at that pill, let alone the wild beasts on the mountain. If it weren't for us stopping them, it would have been snatched away by those dazed beasts long ago."

The group sized up Li Xuan, their thoughts racing.

I never expected to actually meet an immortal today.

As for seizing opportunities, they wouldn't dare even if they had a hundred lives. Didn't they hear what Li Xuan said, "Though thousands of miles away, one can already foresee cause and effect"? Perhaps it was a deity using Li Xuan's words to warn them.

The old folks had just gone through all that, and were in a state of shock and confusion.

He trembled as he raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

"Is that person really a deity?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the old man belatedly realized something and couldn't help but exclaim, "So that pill is a magic elixir?"

He actually managed to calm the restless beasts running all over the mountain for the sake of the elixir...

Fortunately, the aura only dissipated for a short time and did not drift further away, otherwise the old locals would have been helpless.

The City God thought for a moment.

"You're right, it can be called an elixir of immortality."

The judge stood beside the City God, gazing at the vast expanse of rain, and sighed with emotion before saying with a smile.

"In the mortal world, this pill would be something that countless emperors would send people to sea to seek, and even if they sought it for a lifetime, they would not be able to obtain it."

The City God also felt this way.

He glanced at Li Xuan, who was still meditating on the ground, and sighed again.

"Enough, enough. It is a great opportunity for us to see the immortal's face today and watch from the sidelines. There is no need to force it."

"Li Xuan woke up sometime ago, let's go..."

"The City God is right."

"We've also benefited quite a bit, haha, we can't force it, forcing it is not good, we should be content."

The four figures disappeared into the night rain.

This spring rain was quite strange.

After a rain, everything on the mountain came to life, becoming lush and green. The vegetation on the mountain became fresher and more abundant, withered trees sprouted new branches, and wild grasses squeezed out of the cracks in the rocks.

The rain and dew were misty, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

When woodcutters go into the mountains to cut firewood, they feel much more relaxed as soon as they enter the mountains.

What a good rain!

……

……

Li Xuan woke up.

It was already daylight; I had no idea how many days had passed.

The immortal was nowhere to be seen, and the three ghosts and the old earth god had also left, leaving him all alone in the cave.

As he opened his eyes.

While he was lost in thought, the mysterious aura that had filled the cave gradually dissipated.

If I were to speak of the insights gained from this meditation...

Li Xuan observed his body and mind inwardly, and found that there were no more blockages or obstructions in his meridians. They flowed freely and smoothly, and his foundation for cultivation was clear and solid... This was more than just a matter of starting cultivation anew.

It's like a complete transformation.

He was stunned.

He still retained a trace of alchemy skills, making his previous knowledge of alchemy seem clumsy and inadequate.

Li Xuan needed to think about it more carefully.

My thoughts were interrupted by a foul odor.

The stench was overwhelming.

It wasn't just the stench of the tattered clothes; there was also a lot of filth emanating from his body, making one want to vomit.

Li Xuan couldn't sit still.

He grabbed the last bit of gold that remained after the lotus crown had melted, and hastily washed it by the stream.

The clothes were dripping wet.

He limped down the mountain, his steps extremely slow and unsteady.

In the town at the foot of the mountain.

A cloth shop opened its doors to do business.

The shop assistants weren't very busy; they were chatting and laughing with the stall owners not far away, casually playing with the children by the roadside. When they encountered customers who wanted to come in to buy fabric to make clothes, they quickly greeted and welcomed them.

He was leaning against the wall eating roasted soybeans, which smelled delicious. With a sprinkle of salt, he thought the taste was so good that even dragon meat wouldn't be a better choice.

The waiter ate his fried soybeans and told the stall owner about the strange story he had heard last time.

“You know what? Last time, a customer who was in business told us that a high-ranking official in the county had been looking for a deity for several days, but he couldn’t find him anywhere.”

"Where did this deity come from?"

"I heard it's on a mountain, but that mountain doesn't look very high. Who knows where it is? How could we not find it..."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a limping beggar walking over, his clothes and head covered in water and stinking.

The waiter quickly waved his hand to shoo people away.

"Go away, go away, where did this cripple come from?"
