Chapter 13 Yuanqiao Golden Bright Elixir
Chapter 13 Yuanqiao Golden Bright Elixir
"Miss Zhi'er," Yun Weiyang smiled slightly, "Perfect timing, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Zhi'er looked up, her eyes sparkling: "What is it?"
"I'd like to find some books on alchemy to read. Does the Flying Immortal Sect have any?"
Zhi'er thought for a moment: "There are some in the library, but they are all very old. I don't know if they are useful."
"Please take me to see it."
Zhi'er nodded and turned to lead the way.
The Scripture Pavilion of the Flying Immortal Sect is located on the north side of the mountain peak. It is a three-story wooden building that looks like it is about to collapse. Zhi'er pushed open the creaking wooden door, and a musty smell hit her. She wrinkled her nose and led Yun Weiyang up to the second floor.
"These are them," Zhi'er said, pointing to the dusty bookshelf in the corner.
Yun Weiyang walked over, picked up a book at random and flipped through it. It was a book called "Collection of Herbs and Trees", which recorded the shape, medicinal properties and place of origin of various spiritual herbs and medicines. She then picked up another book called "Miscellaneous Records of Elixir Formulas", which contained dozens of elixir formulas, mostly basic healing pills and qi-gathering pills.
"Will it work?" Zhi'er asked cautiously, standing behind Yun Weiyang.
"It's useful." Yun Weiyang hugged the two books to her arms. "Thank you, Miss Zhi'er."
Zhi'er shook her head, a sweet smile on her face: "You're welcome. Brother Yun, if there's anything else you need, please feel free to ask."
Yun Weiyang looked at Zhi'er with gentle eyes.
"Miss Zhi'er," Yun Weiyang said with a smile, "you can just call me Brother Weiyang from now on."
Zhi'er's face flushed again. She lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement, her voice barely audible.
Five days later, all the materials were ready.
Yun Weiyang entered the alchemy room and closed the door.
The alchemy room was small, consisting of only one room. In the middle was a bronze alchemy furnace, the walls of which were covered with traces of smoke and fire. In the corner were several bundles of firewood and charcoal, and the air was filled with the smell of medicinal dregs.
Yun Weiyang arranged the materials one by one and began refining the pills.
The refining of Qi-Nourishing Pills is not complicated. Su Qinghe had already tried it countless times with his avatar in Lin'an City. He knew every step by heart. It was just some basic pills, and it would not be difficult for Yun Weiyang.
Su Qinghe has even begun to work with some mid-level pills. Pill refining does not require high cultivation levels, which is a good thing for Su Qinghe. In the future, his avatar can disguise himself as a pill refiner. In the Tianyuan Realm, pill refiners still have a very high status.
Yun Weiyang placed the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace in order, controlling the heat and guiding the medicinal power to blend.
The flames in the bronze alchemy furnace flickered, and the fragrance of medicine wafted from the furnace, filling the entire alchemy room.
Three days later, the first batch of Qi-cultivating pills was produced.
The ten pills were round and smooth, with a bright white color and a faint shimmering light flowing over them. Yun Weiyang picked one up, smelled it, and nodded. The quality was good. Although it couldn't compare to a real alchemy master, it was good enough for the Flying Immortal Sect.
Yun Weiyang did not stop in a hurry, but continued to refine pills, one batch after another, until all the materials prepared by the Qingxuan Sect Leader were used up.
Half a month later, Yun Weiyang walked out of the alchemy room.
Her white robe was covered in dregs of medicine and charcoal ash, and her hair was somewhat disheveled, but Yun Weiyang exuded a strange, fresh fragrance of herbs and trees, and held a porcelain bottle in her hand.
The Qingxuan Sect Leader had been waiting outside the alchemy room for a long time. When he saw Yun Weiyang come out, he quickly went to greet her.
"Young friend Yun! How is it?"
Yun Weiyang handed him the large porcelain bottle.
"I have fulfilled my mission. Here are fifty Qi-Nourishing Pills. Although their quality is average, their medicinal effects should be quite good."
The Qingxuan Sect Leader took the porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out. He poured out one pill and placed it in his palm. The pill was round and smooth, with a bright white color and a faint shimmering light flowing over it.
The Qingxuan Sect Leader couldn't discern the grade of the pill, but he could sense that the spiritual energy contained within this pill was far more concentrated than any pill he had ever seen before.
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" Sect Leader Qingxuan exclaimed three times, his wrinkles smoothing out. "Young friend Yun, you are truly a great benefactor to my Flying Immortal Sect!"
That night, the Qingxuan Sect Leader summoned three disciples at the Qi Refining stage, gave each of them a Qi-Consuming Pill, and instructed them to take it on the spot before meditating and cultivating.
The Qingxuan Sect Leader did not completely trust Yun Weiyang. Pills can be treasures or poisons. Having lived for over a hundred years, he was still cautious.
Half an hour later, the three disciples opened their eyes one after another, their faces full of shock.
"Sect Leader! My spiritual energy absorption rate is more than twice as fast as usual!"
"Me too! I feel the spiritual energy surging in my dantian, like I'm about to break through!"
"Sect Leader, this elixir is incredibly powerful!"
The three disciples looked at the porcelain bottle in the hands of the Qingxuan Sect Leader with excitement and longing.
The Qingxuan Sect Leader did not bestow these pills upon them, but waved his hand, dismissing them.
Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Sect Leader Qingxuan remained silent for a long time.
The next day, the Qingxuan Sect Leader sat facing Yun Weiyang. Looking at Yun Weiyang, there was no longer any probing in his eyes, and he was all smiles.
"Young friend Yun." Sect Leader Qingxuan bowed deeply to Yun Weiyang: "On behalf of all 137 disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect, I thank you for your great kindness."
Yun Weiyang quickly helped him up: "Sect Leader, you flatter me. It was just a small favor, nothing to mention."
"It was nothing?" Sect Leader Qingxuan shook his head: "Young friend Yun, you don't know, for a small sect like ours, a good pill is more precious than anything else. The Flying Immortal Sect will remember your kindness."
Looking at Yun Weiyang, Sect Leader Qingxuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Young friend Yun, I have a favor to ask."
"Please speak, Master."
"Young friend, could you... refine more? I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it. Spirit stones, medicinal herbs, magic tools—as long as the Flying Immortal Sect has them, just ask."
Yun Weiyang pondered for a moment.
"I have been troubling your sect for quite some time, so it is only right. If the sect leader needs it, I can refine more Qi-Nourishing Pills, but the sect leader will need to provide the materials."
"No problem!" Sect Leader Qingxuan waved his hand dismissively. "Leave the materials to me!"
"Furthermore," Yun Weiyang added, "I have an idea, and I wonder if the sect leader would be interested."
"What are your thoughts?"
"This junior wishes to refine a 'Primordial Aperture Golden Bright Pill'."
The eyes of the Qingxuan Sect Leader suddenly lit up.
"The Primordial Aperture Golden Brightness Pill? Is it... is it a pill that can help someone in the Dao Embryo Realm break through to the Refining Spirit Realm?"
"That's right." Yun Weiyang nodded: "When I was in Xingxiu Sea, I saw my uncle refine this kind of pill. Although I have never refined it myself, I remember the formula and the method. If the sect leader can find enough materials, I am willing to give it a try."
The Qingxuan Sect Leader's breathing became rapid. He was already 123 years old this year, and had been stuck at the peak of the Dao Embryo Realm for over 80 years. His lifespan was coming to an end, and there was no hope of breaking through. If there really was a Yuanqiao Golden Bright Pill...
