Immortal Path Evergreen

Chapter 463 Biyun Mountain

Zhang Zhixuan was very clear that the sect did not keep the recipe for the Plague-Removing Powder. Seeing Lu Hongniang take out such a high-level recipe, Zhang Zhixuan asked curiously, "Can Ancestor Lu tell me the source of this recipe?"

Lu Hongniang did not try to be mysterious and told the origin of this recipe.

"Because the plague was not controlled properly, I had to go to Song State to ask for help from Wuyun Zhenren some time ago. The cultivators of Danyang Sect were disturbed by the demon cultivators a few years ago. You were also involved in this matter. They are very sensitive to news in this regard. So I spent 30,000 spirit stones to exchange for this recipe. By the way, I also gathered alchemy spirit medicines in Song State, just waiting for the sect to send people to make the pill."

Zhang Zhixuan rested in Taihong Mountain for a few days. During these days, he studied the recipe and read the information about the plague carefully.

Compared with the recipe of Taiwei Dan, the refining difficulty of Quwen San is obviously greater, but now Zhang Zhixuan is no longer the same as before, and his alchemy skills have also improved by a small level. Although the time to get the recipe is still short, the preparations for alchemy are slightly insufficient, but now the situation is urgent, Zhang Zhixuan can only prepare to refine the elixir as soon as possible.

There is a ready-made fire refining room on Taihong Mountain, and the quality is even better than that of Heishan. The fire eyes opened by Hongshan Sect are naturally carefully selected, and the best fire eyes can already refine the fifth-level elixir.

After Zhang Zhixuan became familiar with the recipe, he immediately chose to open the furnace to refine the elixir. The process of refining the elixir was relatively smooth. Although it was the first time to refine it, there were some twists and turns along the way, and finally he barely refined two elixir pills.

Zhang Zhixuan was not very sure about refining the fourth-level medium-quality elixir, and sometimes he would lose part of his capital. This time, the same was true for refining the elixir. The price of the spiritual grass alone lost three thousand.

After refining two elixir pills, Zhang Zhixuan immediately found Lu Hongniang, hoping to take a look at the epidemic area.

"I have been to the epidemic area more than a dozen times. I suspect that there are demon cultivators behind the plague, but I have not found any clues after entering the epidemic area many times. This time, we have refined the anti-plague powder. We will enter the epidemic area to see the effect of the elixir and see if we can alert the enemy and force out the demon cultivator behind it.

I am not at ease letting you two enter the epidemic area alone. This time, Brother Zhu Dao and I will escort you and see if we can find a way to control the plague."

Zhu Wuya has been recuperating in Taihong Mountain for more than ten years and his injuries have recovered. He is a ninth-level cultivator of the Purple Mansion. His methods are already quite extraordinary. Even if he is not as good as Qingchan, he will not be a burden in the battle of the Jindan stage cultivators, and he can help a little. In addition, Zhang Zhixuan's methods are no less than those of the eighth-level cultivators of the Purple Mansion. The four of them can hold out for a while even if they are demon cultivators in the middle stage of the Jindan.

After the preparations were complete, they left Taihong Mountain overnight and escaped into the territory of Luyang County.

The closest spiritual mountain to Taihong Mountain in Luyang County is called Biyun Mountain. This mountain is a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein. Although it is not large in area, it has quiet springs and rocks, and is very beautiful. There is also a cold spring that is good at quenching and refining weapons.

This cold spring is surrounded by four mountains and is hidden deep between cliffs. The water is extremely cold. The magic weapon quenched by this cold spring is slightly more powerful.

Because of such a place, the Hou family of Biyun Mountain has always been famous in Luyang County for its weapon refining skills. Unfortunately, the Hou family and Hongshan Sect have too deep entanglements and have been destroyed with Yang Wangyuan.

The one who occupies this spiritual vein now is Pu Yuntian. Pu Yuntian was originally a casual cultivator in Heishan and exchanged for the foundation-building pill at the Heishan Conference. After the battle of Chaoyin Mountain that year, Pu Yuntian joined the Qingxuan Sect. After more than a hundred years of ups and downs, he has been developing in the four northern counties.

After the Qingxuan Sect defeated the Hongshan Sect, Pu Yuntian and other cultivators who stood on the right side had great development, and the good spiritual vein of Biyun Mountain fell into his hands.

In more than ten years, Pu Yuntian has married more than thirty wives and concubines, hoping to have more monks, consolidate the foundation, and occupy this sacred mountain for a long time. After all, he is over two hundred years old, and there are not many years left.

Unexpectedly, after only more than ten years of peaceful life, he encountered such a catastrophe.

In the past year, half of the mortals outside Biyun Mountain have died of plague. These mortals are all descendants of the Hou family, and they are temporarily under the protection of Pu Yuntian. The number of casualties is just a number for Pu Yuntian, and it will not make him too sad.

But the population on the mountain is either his wives and concubines or his disciples. Every death makes his heart bleed. Even if Pu Yuntian has not been infected with the plague for the time being, the epidemic on the mountain can no longer be controlled. In this plague, he has lost three Qi training disciples, two monk sons, and seven mortal wives and concubines.

The four children born in Biyun Mountain in the past ten years have all died of plague because they are young and weak.

Because the Taihong Mountain cultivators blocked the border, even if Pu Yuntian wanted to take the remaining people to other places to avoid the plague, it would be difficult for him to leave the Luyang County.

Not to mention that the force of blocking the border is very strong, a foundation-building cultivator is only responsible for a 300-li border, and there are also 30 Qi training cultivators below, which does not leave him much room to maneuver.

Secondly, he is not a casual cultivator, and he has a wife and children in Jiangkou County. For their safety, he dare not violate the order of Qingxuan Sect and flee around.

Moreover, he is over 200 years old and has a lot of experience. He knows that this strict blockade is very beneficial to the prevention and control of the plague. In his heart, he is unwilling to let the plague spread on a large scale and spread to Jiangkou County, affecting his wife, sons, daughters, and disciples.

After Zhang Zhixuan and his four companions arrived at Biyun Mountain, Pu Yuntian was already frowning. The epidemic on the mountain was still spreading, and even he felt a little scared. He wanted to escape from Biyun Mountain and hide in an uninhabited deserted mountain for a while.

After finding Pu Yuntian, Zhang Zhixuan gathered all the people infected with the plague and arranged them to go into a huge cave to take care of them personally.

He diluted a pill of anti-plague powder with spiritual water, then applied it to the patient's wound and observed it carefully for more than ten days.

After more than ten days of careful observation, Zhang Zhixuan found that the effect of anti-plague powder was indeed extraordinary, and it could almost have an immediate effect. As long as the patient was treated with anti-plague powder, he began to get better almost on the same day.

However, dissolving a pill of spiritual pill can only treat more than 300 people. The price of a pill of anti-plague powder is about 4,000 spiritual stones. The cost of treating one person is more than 10 spiritual stones. This price is too high.

The population of Luyang County is one million. Although the four northern counties have suffered from war for many years, the total population is six million. Adding the population of the three southeastern counties and the population near Qingyang Mountain, the population controlled by Qingxuan Sect has reached 15 million.

If the plague spreads on a large scale, the amount of spiritual stones needed to treat the plague with the plague-clearing powder will be an astronomical number. Not to mention a small sect like Qingxuan Sect, even the Great Zhou Yanghuo Palace cannot come up with such a large amount of resources.
