I was startled. Could the expert from the north she was talking about be my grandfather? Her father said that my grandfather went home after being injured in Youwang Cave. It couldn't be him. Maybe it was someone else, just like the skeleton in the ravine.

Thinking of this corpse, I asked Ma Yunxi if she had seen a Taoist master recently. She nodded without hesitation and said that a few days ago, a man from the north came here. He was carrying a Taoist evil-repelling item and looked like a master. He was also looking for clues about corpse-driving. In order to prevent it from harming her father, Ma Yunxi told him that there was a corpse-driving hotel over at Yingzui Rock. After that man left, he was never seen again.

I said that the corpse that Lu Fei touched might be his. Ma Yunxi and Shen Bing were very surprised and asked me how I knew that. However, Lu Fei's eyes flashed with disdain, thinking that I was talking nonsense.

"Because there are undigested golden elixir particles under the corpse, it means that this person was a Taoist alchemist in his lifetime." I explained.

"You said this guy has eaten the golden elixir?" Lu Fei asked with a frown. This kid actually knows the ins and outs of it.

I nodded and said, "You should all understand Taoist alchemy without further explanation. Most of us private Yin-Yang masters only seek to exorcise evil spirits, not longevity and immortality. Only orthodox Taoist disciples seek immortality and ascend to heaven. The particles under the corpse are indeed golden elixirs that have not been fully digested. There is no doubt about this. So I concluded that this person is not only a heavenly master, but also an orthodox Taoist disciple."

Taoist alchemy is what people have been pursuing since ancient times. Who doesn't want to live forever? Even Qin Shihuang, who unified the seven kingdoms, was no exception. Fourteen emperors died from taking elixirs, the most famous of which was Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. It seems that pursuing this thing has nothing to do with great talent and strategy. Is this golden elixir effective? I can't say, because I haven't tried it. The alchemy technique passed down from my ancestors is to use ghost teeth to refine black pearls.

The raw materials used for alchemy are cinnabar, mercury, lead, and blue. If used in moderation, you should not be poisoned. If you use too much, it would be strange if you are not poisoned to death. Let's not talk about other things, just talk about mercury. That is quicksilver. Do you think you will die if you eat too much

The most famous ancestor of Taoist alchemy is Ge Hong, who played a great role in spreading and developing alchemy. "If you can't get the golden elixir, but only take herbal medicine and practice minor techniques, you can prolong your life and delay death, but you can't become immortal." He made later generations obsessed with the golden elixir that could help them ascend to heaven and become immortals. As a result, everyone became ghosts instead of immortals because of taking this stuff.

Lu Fei felt that my explanation was very reasonable and he looked a little ashamed. It might be because he didn't find the golden elixir particles and was outshined by me, so he felt a little embarrassed.

We can't guess who this person is, but it is undeniable that he must have died from the silver snake poison. Ma Yunxi said that the source of the silver snake poison was most likely from the Mei School, but this is just a guess, because the legend of the Mei School is very mysterious, with many different opinions and no unified statement.

If you want to understand this, you can only ask her father Ma Zili, who may know more about Meipai. I asked about the way to Yingzui Rock, and Ma Yunxi said there are two ways to go, one is to go southeast from the back of this cave, and the other is to go east from her family's corpse-driving hotel.

That's perfect. Tomorrow morning, after asking Ma Zili, we'll go directly to Yingzui Rock and send someone to claim Lao Liang's body. This matter must also be clarified. I was stunned.
