Xu Shangao wanted to shout loudly. At this moment, his spine was straight and his heart was even more excited.
The other official disciples present, especially the tall young man, all changed their expressions and looked at Xu Shangao in disbelief.
"He actually refined a medium-quality Qingxin Pill. How is this possible?" This was the thought in the minds of the formal disciples present.
The elder looked at Xu Shangao suspiciously, and then at the elixir in his hand, wondering whether the Qingxin Dan was refined by Xu Shangao.
After all, he also knew Xu Shangao's level. Even if he happened to refine the Qingxin Pill, it would only be a low-quality Qingxin Pill, and it would definitely not be of medium quality.
Even among the many formal disciples ranked higher than Xu Shangao, few could refine a medium-quality Qingxin Pill. How could Xu Shangao, who was ranked at the bottom, refine it
"Elder, this elixir was definitely not refined by Xu Shangao. He must have asked someone to help him refine it. Elder, please take a closer look!" The tall young man suddenly said.
When Xu Shangao heard this, he became furious and shouted: "I refined this Qingxin Pill myself. You are slandering me!"
The tall young man sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that you, Xu Shangao, can only refine some low-quality pills? This Qingxin Pill is of medium quality. You dare to say that you refined it? What a joke!"
Xu Shangao's face turned red, his breathing became rapid, and he stared at the tall young man.
The tall young man was not afraid at all and looked at Xu Shangao with disdain.
"Xu Shangao, tell the truth, did you ask someone to refine this elixir?" The old man also asked. He did not believe that Xu Shangao could refine a medium-quality Qingxin elixir.
When Xu Shangao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked around and found that everyone had doubts on their faces.
Xu Shangao felt sad in his heart. It turned out that he was so looked down upon among the formal disciples. It was obvious that he had refined the elixir, but no one believed that he had refined it himself.
"Elder, in order to prove that I refined this elixir myself, I am willing to refine it once in front of everyone. If it fails, I am willing to suffer any punishment!" Xu Shangao said to you, the old man, sonorously and forcefully, with a look of determination on his face. color.
The old man and everyone were surprised. Xu Shangao actually wanted to refine the elixir in public. This was pushing himself into a dead end.
The tall young man immediately said: "Elder, since Junior Brother Xu wants to prove his innocence, then let him do what he wishes."
Xu Shangao suddenly turned his head, glared at the tall young man, and said, "If I succeed, you have to kneel down and apologize to me!"
"What?" The tall young man didn't expect that Xu Shangao would pull him up, and he hesitated.
Xu Shangao sneered and said, "What? Don't you dare?"
The tall young man sneered and said: "Am I still afraid of being a low-level disciple like you? Okay! If you succeed in refining a medium-quality Qingxin Pill, I will kneel down and apologize to you, but if you fail, you will kneel down." In front of me, learn to bark twice like a dog!"
"It's a deal!" Xu Shangao said coldly.
The tall young man sneered, as if he had seen Xu Shangao kneeling in front of him and imitating howling like a dog, and he felt particularly excited.
The old man did not stop the two of them, but looked at Xu Shangao and said: "The alchemy furnace and medicinal herbs are ready. Let's start now, but you must understand the consequences of doing so."
Xu Shangao said without any hesitation: "Disciple understands."
The old man nodded and led everyone to an alchemy room.
"Go in." The old man pointed to the alchemy room and said to Xu Shangao.
"If you regret it, kneel down in front of me now, and you don't have to bark like a dog." The tall young man said with a smile.
Xu Shangao snorted coldly, ignored the tall young man's sarcasm, and walked directly into the alchemy room.
The old man followed closely behind, while the other formal disciples were waiting outside the alchemy room.
After all, alchemy is a serious matter, and too many people can easily affect the alchemist.
Two hours later, the old man walked out of the alchemy room, holding a jade bottle in his hand, with no expression on his face.
Xu Shangao walked out behind the old man, with a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed on his face, but with joy in his eyes.
Everyone outside was shocked when they saw this, especially the tall young man, who was even more worried.
"No! He is just an inferior disciple, and he is also the bottom of the pile. It is impossible to refine a medium-quality elixir. He will definitely not!" The young man kept saying in his heart, but the look on Xu Shangao's face The joyful look made him feel more and more uneasy.
Everyone looked at the old man, waiting for him to announce the result.
The old man looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the tall young man. He shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "Successful."
Three simple words, but like thunder on dry land, shocked all the formal disciples present.
Without saying anything, the old man took out a few Qingxin Pills that Xu Shangao had just refined. Sure enough, they were all of medium quality like the previous ones.
Seeing this scene, the tall young man suddenly turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
The others looked at the tall young man with pity, and at the same time they were secretly glad in their hearts. Fortunately, they did not make a bet with Xu Shangao, otherwise they would lose face.
Although Xu Shangao was tired at the moment, he was extremely happy in his heart. The resentment that had been suppressed for a long time was completely dissipated today.
"Lin Xu, I won, why don't you kneel down?" Xu Shangao suddenly roared loudly.
The tall young man named Lin Xu had an extremely stiff expression. When he heard Xu Shangao's roar and saw others moving away from him, he felt sad and knelt down in front of Xu Shangao on the spot.
"I was wrong!" After saying this quickly, Lin Xu quickly stood up and ran away without caring about anything.
Xu Shangao smiled. Lin Xu had always looked down on him, but today he knelt in front of him and admitted his mistake. Although the two of them could be said to have a grudge, Xu Shangao didn't care. Anyway, he let out a bad breath and felt particularly comfortable. .
When Xu Shangao returned to his residence, he saw Fang Lin lying leisurely on a bamboo chair.
Seeing this, Xu Shangao was speechless. Didn't he say that he wanted to refine the Tongmai Pill? Why are you just lying in the yard and taking a nap
"Junior Brother Fang, Junior Brother Fang." Xu Shan shouted twice, but did not wake up Fang Lin. When he walked in, he found that Fang Lin was sleeping deeply and his face was a little pale.
Xu Shangao was a little worried, so he walked into the house and took a blanket to cover Fang Lin.
When he walked to the alchemy furnace, Xu Shangao touched the alchemy furnace. There was residual warmth, indicating that Fang Lin had indeed used the alchemy furnace.
"Alas, Junior Brother Fang is still not mature enough after all. Using the alchemy furnace consumes his energy, so he is probably exhausted." Xu Shangao thought to himself.
It wasn't until evening that Fang Lin woke up leisurely, and his face looked much better.
"Junior Brother Fang, you finally woke up. If you don't wake up again, I will use elixirs to save you." Xu Shangao said with a sigh of relief.
Fang Lin looked at the sky, it was almost dark, then looked at Xu Shangao, grinned, reached out and took out two golden and round pills from his arms.
"Senior Brother Xu, this is the Tongmai Pill promised to you. Take it sometime." Fang Lin said.
Xu Shangao took the two pills in surprise and took a closer look. He found that the quality of these two pills was exceptionally good. They were round and plump, bright in color, and had a mellow fragrance. Although Xu Shangao could not judge the quality of these Tongmai Pills at his level. The quality is high, but I think it's at least medium quality, probably high quality.
Xu Shangao couldn't help being startled when he thought of this. When he looked at Fang Lin again, he felt like he was looking at a monster.
"Did you practice this?" Xu Shangao asked a very low-level question.
Fang Lin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I refined it. Could it be that Senior Brother Xu doesn't believe it?"
Xu Shangao thought, of course I don't believe it. You are just a disciple of Dantong, but the quality of the elixir you refine is so good. This would probably be more shocking to others.
But Xu Shangao at least saw the magic of Fang Lin. Without Fang Lin's guidance, Xu Shangao might not have been able to refine the Qingxin Pill by now, so although he was surprised at the moment, he wasn't too embarrassed.
"Junior Brother Fang, I very much doubt whether you are some alchemy genius who deliberately hides among the alchemy disciples?" Xu Shangao said helplessly.
Fang Lin looked surprised: "Have you seen all this?"
“···”
The Tongmai Pill was refined by Fang Lin. There were six pills in total, two pills were given to Xu Shangao, and Fang Lin had four pills left.
Considering Fang Lin's meridians were blocked, four meridians were enough to open up those blocked meridians.
Xu Shangao told Fang Lin about the bet he had made with Lin Xu during the day, his words full of pride.
"Senior Brother Xu, it seems that you and I are in the same boat. I am not popular as a disciple in Dantong, and you are looked down upon as a formal disciple like me. Alas, we are really brothers and sisters." Fang Lin sighed.
"With Junior Brother Fang's qualifications, he will definitely be successful in the future. Senior Brother, I have no hope." Xu Shangao said.
Fang Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Many people are late bloomers. I think Senior Brother Xu falls into the category of late bloomers."
Xu Shangao smiled bitterly: "Don't comfort me."
At night, Fang Yun and Xu Shangao took Tongmai Pill at the same time.
However, the situation after the two of them took it was different. Early the next morning, Xu Shangao opened up several blocked meridians in his body. Thirty-six major meridians were completely unblocked, and his whole person felt as if he had been sublimated.
Fang Lin, on the other hand, has been in retreat for three days in a row, digesting the power of the Tongmai Pill and constantly opening up the blocked meridians.
It was not until the fourth day that Fang Lin finally came out of seclusion. The blocked meridians in his body were also opened, and one of the seventy-two meridians was unexpectedly opened.
The human body has thirty-six major veins, seventy-two minor veins, and countless details.
Among them, seventy-two small meridians are completely blocked, and only eighteen of the thirty-six major meridians are open.
When practicing martial arts, the most important thing in the early stage is to open up these blocked meridians, starting from the thirty-six meridians and continuing to the seventy-two meridians.
