Chapter 10: Danding Peak is Fragrant Even in Smell

Lu Yang bid farewell to Zhou Lulu and came to Danding Peak. As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.

"As expected of Danding Peak, even the air is full of fragrance. The legendary blessed land and immortal mountain island are nothing more than this."

Lu Yang couldn't help but take two more breaths, feeling his body light, as if he were about to feather and ascend to immortality.

"This junior brother, don't breathe!"

A shouting voice came from not far away. The owner of the voice saw Lu Yang take two more breaths and became even more anxious.

"Junior brother, hurry up and use the Turtle Breathing Technique. Eh, you seem to be a mortal, then hurry up and cover your nose. This smell is the poisonous gas emitted when I failed to refine medicine..."

This was the last sentence Lu Yang heard before fainting.

"What kind of ghost place, even the smell is poisonous..." Lu Yang muttered, his body unstable, feeling the whole world spinning, and then his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Facts have proved that whether the smell is fragrant or not has no necessary connection with whether it is poisonous.

When Lu Yang woke up again, he saw a big face blocking in front of him, scaring Lu Yang into a shock, and he woke up.

The person smiled hee-hee twice embarrassedly: "Junior Brother Lu, awake, does it not hurt anymore?"

The jade pendant clearly wrote Lu Yang's identity.

Lu Yang blinked his eyes, feeling sore all over, as if he had been kneaded into a ball and then spread out with a rolling pin.

This was an alchemy room, with rich medicinal fragrance, and the temperature was much higher than outside. A huge alchemy furnace was placed in the middle of the alchemy room, and shelves were placed around it, on which were bundles of herbs and white porcelain bottles, in which should be successfully refined pills.

Stacks of sketches depicting alchemy methods and white mice in cages were piled on the ground. People who were not familiar with this place couldn't even find a place to put their feet.

The alchemy room only had one bed, which was the one Lu Yang was lying on.

"My name is Wu Ming. Sorry, junior brother. Senior brother was thinking about a problem while refining medicine, walked away for a moment, and didn't control the heat well, refining the medicine into poison."

"However, you don't have to worry. Although I often fail to refine poison, I haven't poisoned anyone to death yet." Wu Ming was very proud.

... You say so, I am even more worried.

Lu Yang stood up with difficulty, moved his butt, and leaned against the junction of the bed corner and the wall, which felt better.

Lu Yang's head was very itchy. He touched the back of his head, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Since I only inhaled poisonous gas, why is there gauze wrapped around the back of my head?"

Wu Ming explained embarrassedly: "I was distracted when I moved you, and your head hit the ground. You don't have to worry too much. As long as it is a living person, it can be cured in my Danding Peak!"

"The medicinal power of the pills in my hand is too fierce, not suitable for you to take. Look, during the time you were in a coma, I specially refined pills that mortals can also take." Wu Ming offered to let Lu Yang take two pills like offering a treasure.

The pills were golden in color, with three circles set on them. Lu Yang knew that this was a pill pattern, representing that the refined pill had reached a near-perfect level.

Lu Yang still didn't dare to eat.

He just wanted to come to Danding Peak to ask for a few Grain Bigu Pills. He hadn't done anything yet, and he was already lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head.

If he ate anything else, I'm afraid the King of Hell would praise him for not knowing whether to live or die.

"No poison, really." Wu Ming guaranteed again and again.

Seeing that Lu Yang didn't believe it, Wu Ming found a white mouse to demonstrate.

The white mouse seemed to know that its death was approaching. When it was picked up by Wu Ming, it was still squeaking, saying goodbye to its wife and children.

The white mouse took the pill, fell to the ground, and lost its breath. Its wife and children saw this and cried miserably, as if they had seen their future.

Lu Yang: "..."

Wu Ming: "..."

"Accident, all accidents. The white mouse is small, and a little poison killed it. People eating it will definitely be different. I know where the problem is. Wait a moment, I will refine a furnace for you again."

Lu Yang hurriedly diverted Senior Brother Wu Ming's attention: "Senior brother, you said you have been thinking about a problem and walked away. What problem are you thinking about?"

Wu Ming really diverted his attention. He summarized the wording: "Pills, pills, the focus is on the word 'medicine' behind. Pills can naturally cure diseases and save people, but Grain Bigu Pills are not for patients, why are they also counted as pills?"

"If Grain Bigu Pills belong to pills, then pills are not just for curing diseases and saving people, but also have the function of being eaten as food."

"If Grain Bigu Pills don't belong to pills, then what should Grain Bigu Pills belong to?"

Lu Yang felt that if he didn't take his brain out and put it in the alchemy furnace to bake for three days and three nights, he wouldn't be able to think of such a problem.

"Speaking of Grain Bigu Pills, the only thing that mortals can eat here is Grain Bigu Pills. Strawberry, apple, watermelon flavors are all available. Do you want some? No poison." Wu Ming took out a handful of colorful sugar beans.

Lu Yang thought of the King of Hell's eager expectation for him and didn't choose to accept Wu Ming's gift. Many people on Danding Peak were practicing refining Grain Bigu Pills. No matter who it was, the safety was higher than Senior Brother Wu Ming.

"Junior brother, remember to find me if you need to refine medicine. It doesn't cost money." Wu Ming sent him off enthusiastically when Lu Yang left.

Lu Yang limped and quickened his pace.

The next day, the Seventh Elder of Danding Peak learned of Lu Yang's miserable encounter and sent Lu Yang pills that could really cure mortals, as well as a gourd of Grain Bigu Pills.

Lu Yang recovered.

In the following month, Lu Yang lived a fulfilling life, circling in three places: the Scripture Library, Yanchuan Peak, and the cave. Lu Yang learned and absorbed cultivation knowledge that he had never been exposed to before greedily, like a traveler in the desert seeing a clear spring, thirsty and hungry.

A month later, everyone got their wish and apprenticed under various elders. Meng Jingzhou apprenticed under the Third Elder, Man Gu apprenticed under the Fourth Elder, Fire Spiritual Root Li Haoran apprenticed under the Fifth Elder, Feathered Immortal Body Tao Yaoye apprenticed under the Sixth Elder...

This made Lu Yang quite strange. He thought Man Gu would apprentice under the Third Elder like Meng Jingzhou. The Third Elder was a famous body cultivator in the cultivation world, and no one dared to fight him in close quarters. Man Gu had the Ancient Barbarian bloodline and was most suitable for being taught by the Third Elder.

On the contrary, the Fourth Elder was a Confucian cultivator, knowledgeable and not famous for his strength. I don't know why Man Gu chose the Fourth Elder as his master.

The Fifth Elder was good at refining tools, and Li Haoran had a Fire Spiritual Root, which was also suitable.

Lu Yang hadn't seen the Sixth Elder. I heard it was a woman who was breathtakingly beautiful and possessed an immortal body similar to Tao Yaoye.

Man Gu's apprenticeship under the Fourth Elder was not the most conspicuous. The most conspicuous was Lu Yang himself, apprenticing under the mysterious Sect Master.

I heard that the Sect Master hadn't taken disciples for more than a hundred years and lived a carefree life. The disciples discussed a lot, not understanding why the Sect Master, who was still in seclusion, accepted Lu Yang as a disciple.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Lu Yang was taken by Senior Sister Yun Zhi to Tianmen Peak, where the Sect Master was located. ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
