Celestial being

"This is the Qingjin Tower. I welcome you, senior. What are your orders?" The lean boy stood up quickly, saluted the big man in green clothes, and said hello.

"I came to your Qingjin Tower to inquire about news." The man in Qingyi took out a middle-grade spiritual stone and threw it over.

"Thank you, senior. As you can see, our Qingjin Building has five floors. The first floor only sells information on the Dan Formation stage and below, the second floor is on the Nascent Soul stage, and the third floor is on the Return to Void stage. As for the four On the fifth and second floors, only distinguished guests approved by the building owner can enter. Seniors can choose according to their own needs." The lean young man took the spirit stone and was overjoyed, and introduced quickly.

"Take me to the third floor." The man in Tsing Yi said after pondering for a while.

"Senior, please follow me." The lean boy responded and led the big man into the Qingjin Tower.

The hall on the first floor of Qingjin Tower is full of beautiful women. Some are playing the piano and some are dancing. It really looks like a brothel in the secular world.

"Your Qingjin Tower is really unique." The man in Qingyi said.

"Our Qingjin Building not only sells information, but also does dual cultivation business. The sisters in the building are personally trained by the building owner. They will definitely satisfy the seniors. Do you need someone to help you arrange something?" The young man said familiarly.

"No need, lead the way." The big man in green said with a cold expression.

Seeing this, the young man shrank his neck and did not dare to say any more. He led the man in green to a private room on the third floor.

"Senior, wait here for a moment, I will go and ask the deacon to come over..." the lean boy said.

"I've been paying attention to this distinguished guest for a long time, Nujia Taorui, do you know the name of this fellow Taoist? What information do you want to inquire about when you come to my Qingjin Building?" Before the young man finished speaking, a charming woman wearing a jade-colored dress walked in. , waving the lean boy to retreat.

This woman is also a monk who has returned to the void. Her face is like a peach blossom, and her fingers are white and slender. When she walks casually, she exudes a faint fragrance.

"I, King Kong, came to Qingjin Tower this time to find a place." The man in Tsing Yi said with a calm expression.

This big man is Yuan Ming who has changed his appearance. No matter how powerful he is, searching for the unknown desert island in Moon Lake is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Paying these intelligence dealers to help find the whereabouts of Fairy Yunluo is being imprisoned. , is undoubtedly the best choice.

It's just that this Qingjin Building made him a little disappointed. It turned out to be a place for skin and flesh business.

Those people from the vegetarian sect may not stay on that deserted island for a long time. It seems that after leaving Qingjin Tower, they will have to find other information dealers to find the deserted island in Moon Lake.

"I don't know where you are looking for? This building has unique methods in finding locations. As long as the place you want to find is within the East Jihai Sea, we are sure to find it." After hearing this, Taorui smiled slightly. , Confident said.

Something strange flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, and he took out a jade slip and handed it over. Inside was the topographic map of the desert island in Moon Lake that he had drawn.

"It looks like a desert island, but the moon lake is quite a distinctive feature, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. It's just that such a desert island is inaccessible, and it will take some time for this building to collect information." Tao Rui checked with her consciousness. Answered quickly.

Yuan Ming was surprised that Qingjinlou actually agreed to it so generously. Could it be that there was some special means behind it?

"How long will it take?" he asked after pondering for a moment.

"It will take at least a year. The East Pole Sea is vast and boundless, and there are so many deserted islands. Even if we want to search the East Pole Sea, it will take time. Moreover, the map you drew is a bit crude. You may find that There are many similar islands, please forgive me for this, fellow Taoist," Tao Rui said.

"I heard people say that as long as your Qingjin Tower is willing to spend spiritual stones, there is nothing you can't do. This is a deposit of 100,000 spiritual stones. After the event is completed, Jin will pay double, but I have to pay it in three months. Inside, find the target you are looking for." Yuan Ming took out a storage bag and threw it on the table, making a crisp sound.

When Taorui heard the deposit of 100,000 spirit stones, her body shook slightly, but she still shook her head and said, "Three months? This is too hasty a time."

"Pay three times later." Yuan Ming tapped his finger on the table and said.

The people of the Pure Girl Sect may leave at any time. It would be terrible if Fairy Yunluo is taken to Zhongzhou Continent. We must find the deserted island of Moon Lake as soon as possible. As for the cost of three to four hundred thousand spiritual stones, compared with the Dharma Prime Pill recipe, Not worth mentioning at all.

"Okay, since fellow Taoist Jin is so generous, I will not let you down." Taorui raised her eyebrows and stood up.

"Qingjin Tower is indeed well-deserved. In three months, as many islands as you can find, give me as many as you want. I will identify it myself if it is the place I am looking for." Yuan Ming said with a slight smile.

"Okay, please leave your address, fellow Taoist, so that we can hand over the information when the time comes." Taorui said.

"I will stay at Tongjuxuan on Wuya Island for the next three months. If any news from Tao Rui Tao Rui comes, it will be sent there," Yuan Ming said.

Tongjuxuan is a restaurant on Wuya Island for foreign monks to live.

Because he had to wait for news, it was inconvenient for Yuan Ming to stay away from Wuya Island. Hiding outside the island would make him more conspicuous. Therefore, he rented a place at Tongjuxuan.

After the matter was settled, Yuan Ming quickly said goodbye and left.

Since Qingjinlou had given a certain promise, and Huazhi was also searching through his own channels, he did not go to other information dealers. If word spread that someone was looking for the deserted island in Moon Lake, it would not be good for him. .

After leaving Qingjin Tower, Yuan Ming did not return to Tongjuxuan immediately. Instead, he went to the elixir shop in Wuya Daofang City and purchased a large number of low-level spiritual materials used for refining Qi refining and foundation-building elixirs.

Searching for information does not take long, and there is almost no improvement if you use it to practice, but idleness is idle, and it is better to spend it studying and refining acrobatics.

But now he holds the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" in his hand, possesses countless alchemy recipes, and has the secret technique of controlling fire, and is assisted by the Yanhuang Ruyi Stick and the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron. It would be a pity not to learn alchemy.

So he returned to Tongjuxuan with the purchased materials and concentrated on practicing the art of alchemy.

With Yuan Ming's current ability to control fire and soul cultivation, it was really easy to get started with alchemy. It only took him less than two or three days to become familiar with and master the refining method of elementary elixirs, and with the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron With his help, the alchemy success rate has been increased to over 90%, with almost no mistakes, and every pill produced is of excellent quality.

Of course, Yuan Ming could not use all the power of Zhou Tian's exquisite cauldron to refine this level of elixir. Even the earth fire activated was only the most basic red feather open flame.

This fire is a pure yang fire. When used in attacks, it can drive away evil and strange things, and burn all five elements. When used in elixir refining, it can perfectly remove impurities in elixirs, thereby greatly improving the quality of elixirs.

After becoming familiar with Qi refining and foundation-building first- and second-grade elixirs, Yuan Ming went out to purchase spiritual materials once more, and then began to refine third-grade elixirs for the elixir-formation stage.

This time, the difficulty was much greater. The firepower of one earth fire alone was insufficient, so Yuan Ming activated the second earth fire in Zhou Tian's Exquisite Cauldron.

This earth fire is called Nuanyang Chunyi Yan. It is a Yimu true fire. It can be used against enemies to speed up the recovery of the user's own spiritual energy, and at the same time repair the hidden wounds in the body. When used in alchemy, it can increase the potency of the medicine to a certain extent and disguise it. Increases the age of the elixir used.

But even though he used the second earth fire, Yuan Ming still couldn't refine the third-grade elixir.

Yuan Ming carefully studied his alchemy process, and finally discovered that his problem lay in fusing the medicinal power to condense it into an elixir.

The medicinal properties of third-level elixirs are complex, and the proportion of medicinal power between different spiritual materials must be carefully balanced. This requires the alchemist to be familiar with the changes in the medicinal liquid in the elixir cauldron. If there are any subtle changes, they must be adjusted in time.

Yuan Ming lacked experience in this area. Sometimes even if he observed changes in the liquid medicine, he didn't know how to adjust it.

Yuan Ming thought about it for a few days and found that he was still not proficient enough, so he let the waiter out and asked him for the secret of refining the third-grade elixir.

The waitress in the shop is now under the control of others, and he also knows that his treatment is entirely at Yuan Ming's whim, so he has no intention of hiding anything. He almost teaches Yuan Ming step by step, and teaches Yuan Ming the secret of refining third-grade elixirs. Ming.

However, in his mind, although Yuan Ming had a high starting point, alchemy was not that easy to master.

First- and second-grade elixirs are just fine. Starting from third-grade elixirs, the impact of the alchemist's alchemy experience on the elixir formation rate will gradually increase.

No matter how talented a person is, if they want to reach the level of a third-level alchemist, they must go through a lot of study and practice, and it will take at least ten or twenty years to reach the threshold.

Therefore, the waitress in the store was also prepared for long-term teaching, and even secretly began to plan the teaching progress, preparing to teach Yuan Ming step by step.

But soon, he discovered that the teaching plan he had prepared could be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

There is no other reason. It is because Yuan Ming's progress is too fast. Often the waiter in the store just gives a few instructions, and Yuan Ming draws inferences about other cases and sums up the corresponding rules himself.

Only half a month later, Yuan Ming successfully refined the third-grade elixir and reached the level of a third-level alchemist.

This speed made the waiter in the store dumbfounded and stunned. He even suspected that Yuan Ming was pretending not to be proficient in alchemy and deliberately playing tricks on him.

After all, it took him more than two years to reach the level of a third-level alchemist under the guidance of his master.

Yuan Ming is naturally not an alchemy genius. He can quickly master the refining of third-level elixirs. He can only achieve this quickly by relying on the extremely powerful power of his soul.

After getting familiar with the third-level elixir, Yuan Ming did not stop and continued to try to refine the fourth-level cultivation elixir Black Yuan Dan recorded in the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King".

The difficulty of the fourth-grade elixir was completely different from the previous ones. Yuan Ming finally encountered a bottleneck, so much so that he made no progress for more than ten consecutive days.

The waiter's mentality was now much more balanced, and he attributed Yuan Ming's rapid progress to the superb auxiliary methods.

After all, not everyone has the capital to use Lingbao-level pill furnaces and fire sticks to learn how to refine third-grade pills.

Even in the Danwang Pavilion back then, even if the pavilion master wanted to do such a thing, he would probably be scolded by all the disciples and elders.

Without him, it would be too luxurious.
