But Gu Zuo is still a serious person, even if he thinks about his big brother and feels bored, he still insists on refining the prefecture-level Xiayun Dan—he understands very well that this is saving people, but he can’t rely on his own will. .
However, refining is refining. While refining, Gu Zuo simply took out the condensing crystal.
Ningling crystal is a wonder of heaven and earth, it was given by the Jagged Emperor, and it is also the kindness of the Jagged Emperor to Gu Zuo. In order to live up to this kindness, Gu Zuo will actively use it to practice on weekdays, but he has been busy recently, so he didn't take it out. Thinking about it now, since he has become so familiar with the Earth-level Xiayun Pill, he will simply use two things with one heart, and refine it while cultivating.
Then, Gu Zuo began to use the condensing crystal to quench his spiritual power. At the same time, he opened the furnace again and sent the strange fire to the bottom of the pill furnace to start a new round of refining.
In the beginning, this kind of cultivation method was still a bit difficult, so that when Gu Zuo was refining Xiayun Pill, he accidentally failed to refine it, and only came to a flawless one. However, at the same time as the failure, Gu Zuo also summed up the experience, so the next time he started the process of doing two things more boldly... Sure enough, the second time was successful.
Gu Zuo rejoiced in his heart, and continued like this, because if he had to control more finely, he would not think of all the boring things.
After some time, Gu Zuo found that the mental power was depleted very fast in this method, but as long as he worked hard enough to recover, his mental power would be able to climb a little higher in the condensing crystal and become more powerful. stronger.
Progress is fast.
Gu Zuo was happier, so he practiced more actively and attentively.
What he didn't find was that when he was refining, he began to subconsciously mobilize the power of the thirty-five different fires that existed now, and because of this, where the last lotus seed was, there was a flame of fire. The phantom flashed vaguely for a moment, then quickly disappeared. And where the flame phantom disappeared, there was a faint trace of fire.
Such a refining takes many days.
Suddenly one day, someone came to look for him.
It was Xue Li who brought the news, and Gu Zuo was a little surprised: "Palace Master, who is looking for me?"
Xue Li said: "It's a close friend of yours, the Xuan-level pharmacist named Xu Lingxiu."
On the Hongming Continent, Xuan-level pharmacists are already quite outstanding, especially Xu Lingxiu is still a young man. Don't think that he can't compare to Gu Zuo, but he can improve to this level in such a short period of time. It is also very terrifying, and the potential is developed very quickly. Therefore, Xue Li also has some appreciation for this young man.
Gu Zuo was very happy when he heard it: "Brother Xu came to see me?"
You know, if it wasn't for the meeting in the past, his senior brother Xu would not take the initiative to come to the door. Of course, Gu Zuo understands that this is not because Senior Brother Xu is unwilling to get along with him, but because his realm has risen too fast. With Senior Brother Xu's pride, I am afraid that if he wants to take the initiative to come over, even if he has no plans, he will either intentionally or unintentionally. Take advantage of him? Senior Brother Xu is not that kind of person who takes advantage. In order to maintain the friendship between the two, he will not come here on purpose.
In fact, Gu Zuo doesn't think anything. After all, Senior Brother Xu is also his rare friend. He is very happy to get along with each other more, but he also understands that if he and Senior Brother Xu turn back, he doesn't want to always come to the door and go trouble him. And if for some reason they happened to be in the same place, they would definitely say hello. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, everyone is a warrior, and if they don't meet for a few years, it will not affect their feelings.
So while Gu Zuo is happy now, he is also a little surprised.
He instinctively felt that Senior Brother Xu's visit this time was definitely not a simple visit.
Just now, just after refining a round of "One Hundred Twelve", Gu Zuo handed these pills to Long Yi who was waiting in the next room to Long Twelve, and followed Xue Li out to meet people.
In the guest side hall arranged by Xue Li, two people have been waiting for a long time.
The one on the left was a handsome young man with a hint of arrogance between his brows and eyes, but when he saw Gu Zuo, his eyes softened for a moment; There is a sense of evil in the person, and he doesn't look like a good person.
The handsome young man was undoubtedly Xu Lingxiu, while the Xie Nian one had always been a little unclear about his relationship with Xu Lingxiu, but he was still the unknown Seventh Prince of the Zhou Dynasty.
Gu Zuo recalled the past subtly in his mood, and suddenly realized that when Senior Brother Xu met him, he was accompanied by this guy. When they didn't meet... Maybe they were still inseparable
I don't know if the two of them made it or not.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Zuo has grown a lot more than before, and he didn't show it at all, so he said hello calmly: "Senior Brother Xu, stay safe." Then he glanced at Zhou Qi reluctantly. "Prince Zhou."
Prince Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth and responded, "Pharmacist Gu."
Gu Zuo felt that he was yin and yang strange from the first sight, but now he is reluctant to entertain him for Senior Brother Xu's sake, but his impression is not very good - for example, Prince Zhou's smile may be a polite smile in Xu Lingxiu's eyes. Gu Zuo's eyes were not polite, but a smirk.
Xu Lingxiu glanced at Gu Zuo: "Where's your eldest brother?"
When Gu Zuo heard this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips: "Big Brother has something to report back to the Jagged Master."
Xu Lingxiu understood.
It turned out that the guy from Gongyi Tianheng went back to the Qiankun Emperor Palace. No wonder Junior Brother Gu looked at Ling Linger and couldn't get his spirits up.
However, if Gongyi Tianheng wasn't there... He hesitated a bit.
Gu Zuo saw Xu Lingxiu's expression clearly, but didn't quite understand: "Senior Brother Xu, what's the matter? Did you come to see me for something?"
Xu Lingxiu said: "In the early years, I found a place for training, but I could only walk around the periphery with Zhou Qi's ability. Now that you and Gongyi Junior Brother have made great progress, I wanted to invite you two to go there together. Take a look around."
As soon as Gu Zuo heard it, he became interested: "Is it dangerous there?"
Xu Lingxiu said, "It's really a bit for the two of us. If Junior Brother Gongyi goes there, we won't be afraid of anything."
Gu Zuo suddenly said: "So it is. Then I will accompany Senior Brother Xu for a while. I will also know some things that Big Brother knows."
Xu Lingxiu was stunned—what is it that Gongyi Tianheng would know, and some he would know too? One is a martial artist and the other is a pharmacist. Where are the similarities? But he also knew that Junior Brother Gu was actually not very courageous. Since he said that he could go together, he must have certain confidence.
Thinking of this, he also said confidently: "Since you think it can be done, the three of us can go together."
Gu Zuo showed a big smile: "Of course it can be done!" He sighed again, "I have been refining medicine here for some time, I will take the opportunity to go out for a walk and relax, and when I come back, I will be able to refine it faster. Some."
In fact, he used that condensing crystal to be a bit of a bottleneck. It is better to go out and loosen it up, and it is the same to improve the efficiency after returning. Of course, the medicinal pills he has refined have already recovered four of the imperial soldiers. 50%, so he dared to do it. Otherwise, no matter how much the bottleneck is, he will not go out without authorization.
Xu Lingxiu nodded: "Me and Zhou Qi can do it anytime."
Gu Zuo thought for a while: "I still have things to do here, so go back early."
Xu Lingxiu also had no opinion: "Alright."
The two of them settled the matter in a few words, but Prince Zhou had nothing to say.
After agreeing to go together tomorrow, Gu Zuo stopped refining the medicinal herbs tonight, and prepared a table of medicinal meals to entertain two people - mainly to entertain his senior brother Xu, and as for Prince Zhou, that was an incidental.
The next day, the three of them left the Ten Jue Sect together.
Before leaving, Xue Li did not refuse Gu Zuo to go with them. He also knew Gu Zuo's progress. He only gave him a few one-time attack blood palm prints prepared by Huaxue Tianjun and told him to carry it with him. Although Gu Zuo thought he had the ability to protect himself, but with these bloody palm prints, his heart was obviously more confident, so he was moved to accept it.
For Gu Zuo's sake, Xue Li gave Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou a blood palm print made by themselves, showing the strength of the Shattered Sky Realm. Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou also thanked them.
·
Gu Zuo followed the two of them on a flying golden tiger bred by the Da Zhou royal family and flew in a certain direction.
The flying golden tiger was very fast, and with all its strength, it took about a few hours to reach that place—a mountain forest eroded by poisonous miasma.
This mountain forest was deserted many years ago. The reason why Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou found this place was only because they were chased and killed during a pairing experience and had to enter it.
The poisonous miasma in the forest is very terrifying, but at that time, if the two did not take the initiative to enter here, the only thing waiting for them would be killed by the pursuers, and after breaking into the forest, they might be able to die and live.
Facts have also proved that their luck is really good.
Xu Lingxiu carried a detoxification pill on her body all the year round. After the two swallowed it, they marched into it with a poisonous miasma for more than ten miles, so that the chasing soldiers dared not continue, but by this time, the effect of the detoxification pill was about to end. It was Xu Lingxiu who held on to her last breath, took materials from the poisonous wood in the mountains and forests, refined the poison pill, and used the method of fighting poison with poison, so that the two of them could survive smoothly. The same is true, they found a cave deep in the forest.
When Gu Zuo heard this, he was a little clear. That cave should be the destination that Senior Brother Xu said.
It's just the inner perimeter of the cave, what should I say
Xu Lingxiu raised her eyebrows and guessed that Gu Zuo would have doubts, so she said first, "I'll find out after I go in."
But now, the three of them have to walk through this forest first.
Outside the forest, the poisonous miasma is already very thick.
Gu Zuo had nothing to be afraid of, so he took out a leaf and put it in his mouth. By the way, he also gave Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou a piece, and said, "Eighty percent of the leaves of Qianye Lanzhi are spiritual, which can cure all poisons in the world. Hold it in your mouth. Keep walking, and when the sweetness of the leaves fades, ask me to get another slice."
Xu Lingxiu took the leaf and held it, she felt a sweet feeling, and nodded with satisfaction: "Your leaf is much stronger than my medicinal pill, that medicinal pill is only worthy of use... I thought I would have to leave you on the spot. Refined from materials."
He is very calm about the things that Gu Zuo's refined pills are much better than him.
Gu Zuo said, "I'll try to make it when we come back. Is it the new recipe that Senior Brother Xu came up with? I'm very interested."
Xu Lingxiu hummed and said nothing.
In front of these two alchemists, Prince Zhou would not even interrupt.
After the three people were holding the leaves, they also walked into the forest.
The mountain forest is different from the flat forest. Not only do you have to pass through a lot of poisonous miasma, but you also have to climb upwards. You can imagine how embarrassed Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou were when they escaped. Now they walk in a leisurely manner, which is many times more leisurely than at the beginning.
Xu Lingxiu felt it.
In the past, when they came in, they were entangled by the poisonous miasma and could hardly breathe, but even so, the miasma would still enter the body through the pores, causing them to be highly poisoned. Later, the detoxification pill he refined was useful, but fighting poison with poison was the most painful and difficult to endure.
And now
Chiba Lanzhi is really extraordinary, not only the leaves are sweet, but also the surface of the body seems to have a layer of clean air after being contained, and the poisonous miasma will be immediately dispelled by this clean air, very effective, and there is no trace of it. of discomfort.
Even though Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou had perseverance, the painless entry this time made them feel much better.
What's easier is that although there are no other creatures in the poisonous miasma, there are small insects that are about the size of sesame seeds and are highly poisonous. Now these small insects appear, and they are the same as the poisonous miasma. dare not approach.
Gu Zuo didn't know this, he just followed Xu Lingxiu and Prince Zhou closely, and quickly passed through the trees that were devastated by poisonous miasma, and came to the front of a cave covered by poison ivy.
