"Master, will there really be so many Foundation Establishment Pills in the Pill Sect?" Xie Zhou is a complete casual cultivator. Naturally, he is not very clear about the strength of the monastic world, but he also knows that the Foundation Establishment Pills are important to their monks. How precious.
It is definitely not easy to refine such a precious elixir, and I am afraid it will not be easy to find the elixir needed. But Elder Lin said that there were ten in stock, and there were such changes before and after, which made Xie Zhou suspicious.
"If they can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill from the Pill Sect, there won't be only one Foundation Establishment stage monk in the whole faction."
After hearing this explanation, Xie Zhou didn't ask any more questions. On this trip up the mountain, he originally thought that these two people would break through the formation and force their way in, but in the name of seeking Dan, he let the people from Danmen come out by themselves, let go of the formation to protect the mountain, and invited them politely. up.
"Is there anything I need my subordinates to do?" He would not naively think that Elder Lin brought up fake pills, and the two would cooperate to pretend that they didn't understand the authenticity of the pills, and put the five Qian Lingshi offered it with both hands.
In fact, after hearing the news that the two of them carried at least five thousand spirit stones, Xie Zhou was also dumbfounded. Only a few spirit stones were available for him to breathe in after he got the inheritance from the ancestor of Qianmo. Gained a clear understanding. But now, the master he served for actually brought five thousand spirit stones with him.
Xie Zhou felt a little excited in his heart. It is too difficult to improve one's cultivation in a place without aura.
"What do you think of Danmen?" Baitang asked without answering.
Xie Zhou didn't respond to Baitang's signal at the first time, and replied after a half-beat: "My subordinate is a casual cultivator, and I have never been to other sects as guests, so I don't know how the Dan sect is. But, for my subordinates, , there is a little aura here for cultivation, that's enough."
Baitang admired his sincerity very much, and when she asked him, she never said right and wrong and went around to answer, and always told her to know with the most direct answer. She needs a person who can do things with a heart, but she doesn't need a person who speaks eloquently in front of her.
"That's why I think it's not bad." After a pause, a slight smile appeared on Baitang's face, and he said unhurriedly, "Then we will give you a deputy head, do you dare to accept it?"
The deputy head of Danmen? Xie Zhou knelt down on one knee towards Baitang almost in an instant: "How can this subordinate be so appreciated by the master. However, as long as the master bestows it on you, no matter how difficult it is, the subordinates will do well , will never let the master down."
Baitang smiled and looked at Shen Tingjun, who let out an inaudible snort. Xie Zhou lowered his head, very humble.
"Open your mouth." Xie Zhou did so without saying a word, and Shen Tingjun flicked a pill that appeared in his hand into his mouth. Xie Zhou kept his mouth shut and swallowed the elixir into his stomach. After a while, he felt warm inside his body, and his cultivation seemed to be on the rise, and he heard Shen Tingjun's voice again: "Since Atang chose you, only this How can a little cultivation base do things for her? This elixir can reduce your time by ten years."
Xie Zhou didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, he was overjoyed and thanked the two of them again and again, with a grateful look, wishing that something would come out immediately, so that he could go through fire and water for the two of them. However, Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun are very clear that Xie Zhou's heart is far from true surrender.
In the following time, Xie Zhou was silently trying to absorb the medicinal effects of the elixir. Because the properties of the medicine are not strong, and it is not refined from precious medicinal materials, the elixir can be absorbed slowly until it is completely without retreat.
When Elder Lin came back, Xie Zhou had already refined one-third of the elixir.
"I kept you two waiting for a long time." Elder Lin didn't notice any changes in Xie Zhouhe before, and walked over carefully with a jade bottle in his pocket, went between the seats of Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun, and gently put the jade bottle on the table superior. "This is the Foundation Establishment Pill that I have refined. You can smell the fragrance of this pill." As he spoke, he pulled out the cork on the bottle, shook it in front of the two people's noses, and then put the pill inside. The medicine was poured into his hands, "You two, take a look at the color of this Foundation Establishment Pill."
"How is it? Can it be regarded as high-grade?" Elder Lin put the pill back into the jade bottle, and let two people check it. These elixirs were refined by Xu Ke, his eldest disciple. He is a dull man, but he does have some talent in alchemy. It's just that the refined pills are often fake pills, which are not much different from the original pills in terms of fragrance, color or shape. Unless you take it yourself, you can't tell the authenticity just by looking at it.
This has been appraised by the head, so Elder Lin is very confident in Xu Ke's elixir.
"This is your school's Foundation Establishment Pill?" Elder Lin nodded proudly. Shen Tingjun pinched the fake pill with two fingers, and kneaded the pill into powder in front of the other party. Elder Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then his aura rose. Shen Tingjun turned a blind eye to this, and said calmly, "A fake pill, does Elder Lin think it is worth five hundred spirit stones?"
"What fake pill? I think you two came to my alchemy gate to ask for it sincerely, so you went to the inventory and took out a bottle. Now, you two didn't know what to do, and you even destroyed my Danmen's treasured foundation building pill." Lin The elder's original anger suddenly stirred in his heart, and he continued to maintain an angry expression on his face, and began to plan how this matter would end in his heart so that the two teachers would not come to him. "If you can't give me an explanation, I, an elder, will have no face and go to see the head."
"Who would have thought that the Pill Sect, which is famous for its elixir, would not be able to produce a real foundation-building elixir. Not only could it not be produced, but it would also try to replace it with a fake elixir, in an attempt to defraud us of our spiritual stones." Bai Tang Restraining his smile, "Elder Lin, do you know that the spirit stones on us are not easy to get."
"Fellow Daoist has insulted my alchemy school's reputation so much. I don't want to come to ask for alchemy. I'm afraid I have other plans for my alchemy school. Since you are an enemy and not a guest, don't blame Lin for not being good at hospitality. Come on!" "
The next moment, Elder Lin found himself unable to move. Subconsciously looking at Baitang, Baitang was frowning at the cup of tea that was cooling down on the table, then turned to look at Shen Tingjun, the latter's face no longer had the politeness of a conversation, but only a kind of respect for human life disregard. "you-"
"Oh? Can you still talk?" Shen Tingjun raised his eyebrows, and Elder Lin found that he could no longer speak, and couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes, as if horrified and fearful, "Blocking the eyes." After finishing speaking, his hands With a wave, Elder Lin's body was stuck to the wall.
Seeing Xie Zhou, he appropriately weakened his sense of existence a lot. His master's behavior can still find a trace of rules, this person's behavior is simply extremely casual.
Several disciples who were close to the hall came in and saw Elder Lin's appearance, they all dared to resist, and retreated outside the hall in fright.
Xie Zhou was worried that he had no chance to show himself. Seeing these little soldiers and generals, he took the initiative to run out and restrain them one by one. In the end, he threw them all in to ensure that what happened now would not be spread out.
"Master, what should we do next?"
"The head of the Pill Sect is coming soon, you go get a cup of tea, and when the head of the Dan Sect arrives, hand it over to calm him down." At this moment, Bai Tang could already see the appearance of an old man walking towards this side According to Shen Tingjun's previous introduction, the other party's identity is ready to be revealed.
Xie Zhou responded respectfully, and turned to pour tea.
Wu Jinzhi has been the head of the alchemy sect for more than forty years. In addition to obsessing over the study of alchemy techniques to improve his own cultivation, his greatest wish is to carry forward the alchemy sect. He had guessed the elder's plan just now when he heard Elder Lin's disciple's report.
To be able to inherit a sect, Wu Jinzhi would certainly not be as shallow as Elder Lin thought. He wanted to covet this huge amount of spiritual stones, and also wanted to establish friendship with the forces behind them. So, when walking all the way, I thought that if the transaction of the pill was settled, I would try to get closer to them.
If it is not done properly, and the fake pill happens to be revealed, then the accident of these people will be blamed on Jianmen on the other side. Afterwards, if the people behind them find out, they will make up a good story. If you don't find it, then make a good plan for setting the blame and take the initiative to find it.
Wu Jinzhi thought very well, and when he entered the palace gate, he found that the development of the matter seemed to be different from any of his expectations. "Elder Lin?"
"Master!" The little disciple's eyes turned red, and he turned his head to find a place for his master, but Wu Jinzhi stopped him.
"I don't know what my elders have done, you two want to treat my elders like this?" After asking, Wu Jinzhidao clarified his identity as the head of the sect. "I hope you two can give me an explanation."
"Sect Leader, the facts are right in front of you. What explanation can I say? I will take them down and let the Sect Leader deal with them."
"Nonsense!"
"Explain?" Baitang stood up, and Xie Zhou straightened his body, making a posture of pawning at any time. "I think your faction lacks a deputy head, so I want to recommend a deputy head for your faction, what does head Wu think?"
The little disciple stared straight at the words, and Wu Jinzhi sighed with compassion: "It seems that the two of you are determined to be enemies of my alchemy sect. Neglect the two of you."
Baitang smiled, and the Qingshuang sword was unsheathed.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jinzhi was secretly startled, "You and Jianmen..." But he had never heard of any great newcomers in Jianmen, let alone five thousand spirit stones, he didn't believe that the senior in Jianmen would be generous. Hand it over to the two juniors.
Baitang didn't answer him, and directly attacked him with the Qingshuang sword.
This was Xie Zhou's first time seeing Baitang really use a sword. It was probably the first time he faced an enemy after getting the Qingshuang Sword. Baitang didn't use any advanced sword skills, but just used a few basic moves to attack. However, after only watching for a while, Xie Zhou's back felt cold, and at the same time, he couldn't help touching the back of his neck.
Shen Tingjun on the side put the little disciple who was in the way to the side from the moment Baitang confronted the enemy, and then focused on every movement of Baitang.
The most pitiful one was Wu Jinzhi, who was beaten by Baitang as a sparring opponent for a while, and then was restrained by the opponent's instant kill. At this moment, he realized how big the distance was between each other, and before that, the other party was just teasing him. "Since you two are high school seniors, why do you humiliate me and other juniors like this?"
Baitang caressed Qingshuang's sword, and after expressing his love for it, he put away Qingshuang and looked at Wu Jinzhi: "Our purpose is very simple, that is, as the vice-master, Wu Zhang How do you feel about it?"
What else can Wu Jinzhi do, the strength of the Dan family is not in combat power, but he is not very proficient in Taoism such as talisman array, let alone his disciples. Facing a formidable enemy that even he was instantly killed by a single move, even if the disciples in the Qi stage were to use crowd tactics, it would be of no use. "Follow the orders of the elders."
So, within a day, Dan Sect had an additional deputy head named Xie.
At this moment, Bai Tang and Shen Tingjun are in the place where Wu Jinzhi is retreating for alchemy. After checking around, Shen Tingjun said positively to Baitang: "It really is a ground fire."
"Then retreat here."
"Okay, I will set up a few more formations, and we will retreat together."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Tingjun began to dig out things, including spirit stones and arrays of psychic artifacts.
Baitang stood beside him, passing him the materials he needed from time to time. Looking at the people who were concentrating on setting up the formation, she remembered that a long time ago, when they were practicing outside and looking for a place to retreat, the formation and the like were all arranged by the other party. As for her as a master, the further she goes to the back, it seems that she has no use for her except to enjoy the arrangement of the little apprentice.
"There's no need to go to Jianmen." Although the concentration of spiritual energy in Danmen's residence is not as high as that of the big sects in the cultivation world, their current cultivation base is enough. With the blessing of his formation, this retreat, if everything goes well, you can directly break through to the half-step golden core.
At that time, Xie Zhou should have almost taken control of Danmen. In this way, they have a place to retreat and practice, and there is no need to add another sword gate. "After the retreat, you will accompany me back to study for a few years. How about letting everything else take its course?"
Shen Tingjun paused for a while before setting up the formation in his hand, "When you become an adult, I will find a way to change my body. At that time, we can be here under the witness of your father and younger brother , to complete our Dao Companion Ceremony."
This time it was Baitang's turn to be stunned, and looking at Shen Ting's Jun's expression, the other party was seriously setting up the formation, as if what he said just now was just a casual mention. However, Bai Tang was very familiar with many of Shen Tingjun's little moves, so of course the other party's nervousness couldn't be hidden from her.
She was silent for a while, then smiled and replied: "If you are here, you have to follow the rules here."
Shen Tingjun stopped the formation, turned around, looked into her eyes, where his figure was reflected, and there were no other obstacles. He stretched out his hand to hold her, and said word by word: "I will do what you say."
Baitang's hand was held tightly by him, and when he looked at him, a smile trickled into his eyes, "Then I won't break my promise to you, the last time doesn't count."
Shen Tingjun laughed, tightened her hands and let go, and went back to make the final formation.
