Chapter 327: Elixir Dao Secrets, Sima Eight Dragons

Qian Chen had been free for several days. Today, he was refining elixirs with Si Qingcheng in the elixir room.

On the fire well was a white jade elixir furnace, shaped like a gourd, decorated with lotus and algae, and a white jade lotus flower supported it under its feet.

That Winged Yi Huo She was a spirit in the fire. I don't know where Tao Zhang Tian Shi caught it from the underground fire vein. It was raised in the fire well and was responsible for spitting elixir fire. It had to eat several baskets of silver silk charcoal every day, and every time it had to use fire, it had to eat several times more.

The fire snake's scales were red, like flowing flames, and its wings were also small and cute, not at all the cold and ferocious nature of snakes. Qian Chen suspected that this was a species carefully selected by Tao Zhang Tian Shi.

In these few days, the Winged Yi Huo She had become familiar with him. Seeing Qian Chen and Si Qingcheng coming into the elixir room, it rolled up and down in the fire well, looking very cheerful.

Qian Chen took out a Taiyin Zhenhuo Elixir and threw it into the fire well. The Winged Yi Huo She jumped up, caught the spiritual elixir, and swallowed it into its belly.

It curled its body into a circle, silently running the true fire in its body, and after refining it, it spat out a pale golden flame, suspended under the white jade elixir furnace, and began to warm it.

Si Qingcheng smiled: "Shixiong is too luxurious! We are only refining this furnace of elixir with ordinary spiritual herbs. I'm afraid the value is not as good as that Taiyin Zhenhuo Elixir!"

"Uncle Si complained several times, saying that this little thing already looked down on the silver silk charcoal that fed it. That is high-quality Phoebe charcoal, with fine silver silk..."

Qian Chen nodded: "When I was in the Wuling market, I seemed to have seen someone selling this kind of charcoal, carved into the shape of beast heads. A basket of charcoal costs one letter talisman, which is a fire source commonly used by loose cultivator elixir masters."

"Shimei, every time you cast a spell, the Three Mountain Talismans you sprinkle out each time can buy a small mountain!"

Si Qingcheng rested her chin on her hand and said: "I can afford silver silk charcoal, but if Shixiong uses Yuan Qi spiritual elixirs to feed it, I really can't afford it! I'd better give this little thing to Shixiong!"

Qian Chen smiled: "What are you thinking? The reason why I often feed it Taiyin Zhenhuo Elixir these days is that I see its fire power is sufficient, and its scales are dark red, which is a sign of shedding skin! I have my own Heavenly Thunder Taiyin Zhenhuo, and I don't need it. I just want to wait for it to shed its skin, so that the true fire can go one step further and help you control the heat and practice more elixir refining techniques."

Si Qingcheng took out a Master Chunyang Elixir and threw it down. The Winged Yi Huo She called out happily and hurriedly opened its mouth to swallow it.

"So that's it!" Si Qingcheng said a bit lazily: "But the work of watching the fire is too bitter! I am not a disciple of the Taishang Dao like Shixiong, why should I refine these elixirs?"

Qian Chen said: "The method of receiving the talisman you practice, although different from the traditional Jin Dan Avenue, achieves the life-bound true talisman. But the step of Core Formation, whether it is cultivating the life-bound true talisman or the life-bound sword embryo, or even the martial arts holding the elixir and blood, is somewhat related to the Jin Dan Avenue, which is to gather one's own essence, qi, and spirit at one point, and condense a trace of immortality."

"It's all the work of cultivating both life and nature!"

"Therefore, at this step, refining more elixirs is equivalent to familiarizing yourself with the various keys of this step of Core Formation, which is of great benefit to achieving the Jin Dan Avenue. Elixir formation has no regrets. If the tripod tilts and the medicine flies during the Core Formation, it will not be a matter of delaying the future for a while."

Si Qingcheng nodded suddenly: "So that's it, then couldn't Shixiong have achieved the Jin Dan Avenue long ago?"

Qian Chen smiled bitterly: "I am different from you. At this step of Core Formation, I mostly have to walk the Nine-Turn Elixir Avenue. In the future, there will be no Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit barriers, and the soul will condense into a golden elixir. One turn is Yin Spirit, three turns is Yang Spirit, six turns is Primordial Spirit immortal, and finally nine turns to prove the Daoist."

"But my soul is a bit special, hidden in a magic treasure, so I don't move if I don't move. Once I move, I have to achieve three turns in one step and directly prove Master Chunyang."

Si Qingcheng was a bit surprised and said: "My father once said that above the Primordial Spirit, there is no ready-made path. Cultivating to become a Daoist mostly depends on one's own Dao practice and fate. Can Shixiong's path directly point to the Daoist?"

Qian Chen nodded slightly: "The Nine-Turn Elixir Avenue is passed down to the Taishang Daoist ancestor, so it can directly point to the Daoist. But Shimei, your Orthodox One Sect also has the List of Conferred Gods. After cultivating the Primordial Spirit, if you inherit the Zhang Tian Shi divine position, and cultivate both the god and immortal paths, you can also become a Daoist by condensing a first-rank divine talisman and ascending to the Zhang Tian Shi Mansion in the future."

Si Qingcheng frowned: "If so, why are there few Zhang Tian Shi who ascended in the past generations of the Orthodox One Sect who directly proved the Daoist?"

"The path of gods and immortals focuses on the perfection of merit. If the merit is not perfect when serving as Zhang Tian Shi, it is naturally difficult to achieve the Daoist." Qian Chen smiled: "Just like my Taishang Dao, not every cultivator who steps on the Nine-Turn Elixir Avenue can achieve the Daoist by nine turns of the golden elixir!"

"Speaking of which, there is a gourd of Nine-Turn Jin Dan in the Doushuai Palace, which is a rare external object in the world that is very useful for the barrier of achieving the Daoist. In the future, if I cultivate the Nine-Turn Elixir Avenue, I can try to refine a furnace of Nine-Turn Jin Dan to guide and transform you to achieve the Dao!"

Si Qingcheng smiled: "Why can't it be me who cultivates the Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu, holds the List of Conferred Gods, and seals you all as gods?"

"If Yan Shixiong cultivates to become a sword immortal, I'm afraid he can only use his life-bound flying sword to help us dissolve our soldiers! Who told the 'Shangqing Duren Sutra' of Maoshan not to be passed on to Shaoqing?"

Qian Chen teased Yan Shu.

Qian Chen saw that the heat of the elixir furnace was warmed up, so he chose several prepared spiritual herbs from his side and threw them into the furnace one by one. The Winged Yi Huo She circled up from under the fire well, circling the white jade elixir furnace.

It probed into the furnace from the three holes in the belly of the elixir furnace, maintained the furnace temperature with its wings, and opened its mouth to breathe the medicine fragrance, and the pale golden true fire in its mouth quickly roasted the medicinal properties.

Qian Chen demonstrated the finger formula for Si Qingcheng and explained the wonder of the combination of medicinal properties.

It made Si Qingcheng listen with fascination and feel a sudden realization.

Qian Chen was at least at the Primordial Spirit realm in elixir refining, and often broke the confusion on the elixir path in a few words, and many aspects pointed directly to the wonder of Core Formation.

When the old servant sent the spring water for the medicine, he heard a earful, and was so scared that he was sweating profusely, and fled out of the door, fearing that he couldn't help but listen too much and attract Tao Zhang Tian Shi's punishment.

This is the secret of the Jin Dan Avenue of the Daoist gate!

If it weren't for the fact that he had already formed the core, and the elixir formation had no regrets, even if he risked offending Tao Zhang Tian Shi, he would have listened to it.

This furnace of elixir was refined for half a day, and it was at the critical moment of warming. However, the old servant reported outside the elixir room door: "Princess, Cui Dan of the Qinghe Cui family is asking to see you!"

Si Qingcheng was curious: "I know Cui Dan, he seems to be Shixiong's friend!"

Qian Chen sat on the cushion and fanned himself. Hearing this, he smiled: "He is my friend, please invite him in!"

When Cui Dan was led into the elixir room by the old servant, he saw Qian Chen and Si Qingcheng sharing a piece of melon. The princess's smile made the elixir room suddenly lively. The little monster emitting strange original power jumped impatiently in his eyes, nourishing his eye orifices.

The little monster emitted strange original power, nourishing his eye orifices.

It made Cui Dan slightly stunned, secretly saying: "Princess Qingcheng is worthy of the title of Qingcheng, actually making this little monster so restless." Seeing Qian Chen, the little monster jumped down directly, jumping to throw himself into Qian Chen's arms.

Ear Dao God suddenly appeared, grabbing it and beating it violently.

These little monsters were extremely jealous, and the three on Qian Chen's body often fought, how could they tolerate others coming to throw themselves.

Qian Chen stopped Ear Dao God, saw Cui Dan coming in, and greeted: "You came just in time, the heat of this furnace of elixir is almost ready. The three of us will hold a small elixir meeting to appreciate it!"

Cui Dan bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you, Shixiong, for the grace of giving elixir!"

Qian Chen looked at him and said: "Your foundation in this barrier of sensing is not bad, your sensing of qi is very good, as long as there is no mistake, you should be able to form a supreme core. But if you want to achieve a first-rank golden elixir, you still have to polish your Dao heart and temper your temperament."

"Now it's still a bit frivolous!"

Cui Dan smiled: "Follow Shixiong's teachings..."

He chose a cushion and sat down, excitedly: "The day before yesterday, Shixiong went straight into the Wang mansion, sword-challenged the 'Lifetime Dragon Gate', replaced his head with his hair, and cut off his dog life. It was truly wonderful!"

"I watched it under the seat and was dazzled, wishing I could replace it myself!"

"If it weren't for worrying about attracting the people of the Wang family, I should have come to visit long ago!"

Qian Chen said: "How did you find me?"

Cui Dan said: "Huan Yan called Shixiong a fellow Daoist at the banquet. After the incident, I inquired about the news and knew that when Huan Yan and others went down the river and entered Jiankang, they had encountered an interception."

"Hearing that someone broke the river-blocking array, cut off the flow of the Great River, and followed the princess on a white deer. I knew it was Shixiong!"

"That is to say, you could guess it was me, how could the Wang family not know?" Qian Chen smiled: "Why avoid it?"

Qian Chen turned to Shimei Si and said: "The Wang family is quite calm, there has been no news for a few days."

Cui Dan said nervously: "Wang Longxiang is coming!"

"And the envoy sent by Northern Wei is about to cross the river in these few days! It is said that the emperor is slightly unwell again, and some people have secretly found evidence of Sun En Zhang Tian Shi's rebellion and came to the capital to report... The undercurrents in Jiankang City are surging, and it is very uneven inside, although it is calm on the surface!"

Si Qingcheng said: "It must be that my few brothers are fighting again!"

She had a headache-to-the-extreme expression, sighing: "Others are fine, it's just that little nineteen, I'm afraid he's going to borrow my power again..." She looked up and said: "Little nineteen is the youngest among those few clan sons, even younger than me."

Qian Chen saw her expression was rarely helpless, but not really angry, so he thought of one person and said: "Is it that one who had his lapel picked by Wang Longxiang, his clothes cut open, and there was not a trace of injury on his belly, but he claimed that he was hurt by sword qi and his heart was traumatized, and wanted twenty Master Chunyang Elixirs from you?"

Si Qingcheng was so angry that she stood up, held her arms and said: "Isn't it him!"

"Sima Rui, that bastard, only knows how to ask me for things. That day he saw my white deer, and he actually had the face to come over and ask me if I could give him the little deer if the white deer gave birth to one!"

Cui Dan took the conversation and said: "Sima Jingwen has the worst cultivation and is also the youngest clan son. He is excluded by his brothers, and his days are very difficult... His cultivation resources are a bit insufficient, so he is inevitably a bit..." He finally didn't say the two words "shameless".

Si Qingcheng laughed, "You speak for him—is it because you two were both famous playboys in the capital and once hung out together for a time?"

Cui Dan said a bit embarrassedly: "There is some friendship, but I have already turned over a new leaf and haven't mixed on the street for a long time!"

Si Qingcheng suddenly fell silent.

For a long time, she sighed deeply and said: "If the Imperial Uncle is really seriously ill, my few brothers are afraid they will turn the world upside down. Little nineteen has shallow cultivation and the weakest power. If he doesn't borrow my power, he really won't be able to survive!"

In her words, the bloody atmosphere of royal ruthlessness was overflowing.

Cui Dan also remained silent. Qian Chen turned back at this moment to check the heat of the alchemy furnace; smoke curled outside the white jade furnace, carrying a faint, fresh scent of herbs and trees.

Qian Chen smiled: "The elixir is ready! Come, let's divide it, everyone has a share." ===== CHAPTER 328 =====
