Journey To Longevity

The leaves of the trees in the mountains grow and fall, turn green and turn yellow, and the grass and tree spirits that have not yet gathered their energy to enter the stage still follow their own nature. Seeing the late autumn, the cold winter is approaching.

Many animals that need to hibernate search for food all over the mountains and plains, eat a few more bites, and retain more calories so that they will not wake up in the middle of the long winter due to hunger, and then look around in the heavy snow, and finally fall on the snow. On the ground, other animals that came by the smell had a feast.

The first snowfall of this year, since last night, has left a layer of snow less than heel deep in the mountain, and the sky is dark outside. Zhang Shiping came out from Yekunshan cave, driving the Qingling ancient boat, The snowflakes fell on his light red aura shield and instantly melted into snow water. He didn't waste mana anymore and evaporated the snow water dry.

Zhang Shiping took advantage of the night to fly all the way, and landed outside Bairuifang City a few hours later, the sky was just dawning. He took off the aura shield on his body, took out the coir raincoat and bamboo hat from the storage bag, put it on his body, and walked in from the entrance of Fangshi with ease.

On the way, seven or eight monks dressed in well-tailored brocade clothes came out of a tavern named "Wuwei Qinghuan", smelling of alcohol, chatting and laughing, and walked past Zhang Shiping.

He did not wear the black clothes representing the inner disciples of Zhengyang Sect, but was wearing a black gown as usual, but because he was wearing a coir raincoat, a bamboo hat, and walking slowly in the snow, Like a scholar who goes out to enjoy the snow.

Zhang Shiping walked all the way, and stopped in front of a newly opened shop. In front of the shop, there were two teenagers in blue-gray padded jackets, who were drinking steaming Lingmi porridge. They eat the porridge in blue and white porcelain bowls the size of a human head in just a few mouthfuls!

On the counter behind the two teenagers, a middle-aged man in a green shirt whose cultivation base was on the eighth floor of Qi Refining was flipping through the ledger, looking at it one by one, counting the accounts that had been settled several times, with a look on his face that was from the heart. smile.

Zhang Shiping walked into the shop, took off the bamboo hats, saw the two teenagers who were drinking porridge, put down the bowls in their hands immediately, wiped their hands on their thighs a few times, then took the bamboo hats from Zhang Shiping's hands, for him After removing the coir raincoat on his body, Zhang Shiping looked at the two teenagers and said with a smile, "From now on, we will come out after breakfast in the backyard. Don't block the door, it's unsightly."

The two teenagers nodded. Zhang Shikai, the middle-aged shopkeeper in green shirt on the eighth floor of Qi Refining, immediately came out from behind the counter when he saw Zhang Shiping coming, "I met the second elder."

At the same time, he turned his head to look at the two teenagers who were still thinking about serving bowls, and said helplessly, "Why don't you go to the backyard and finish eating before coming out?"

This is a shop that the Zhang family rented in Bairuifang City two years ago, and Zhang Shikai was sent to take care of it. Zhang Shiping and Zhang Shikai are of the same generation, but Zhang Shikai is five years older than Zhang Shiping. There is also Zhang Shiyi, the deputy shopkeeper of Qi Refining Level 7 in the store, but this person hasn't come here today, usually there are not many things in the store, and the two of them cooperate with each other, so they won't be too busy.

"How is the preparation of what I said last time?" In the past two years, Zhang Shiping bought some commonly used materials for cultivation from his own shop.

Sometimes when he is not free, he will send three of his Zhang family stewards to come over to buy, or make a list, so that the store will prepare the goods first.

Unless it is some precious second-order elixir, the Zhang family shop does not have it, and the purchase is too time-consuming, so Zhang Shiping will go to the few big shops in Fangshi to buy it, and the price will be higher, which is normal.

"Second Elder, there are only ten copies of Luo Xingcao and Wisteria Flowers, and only two coins for Xingchenhuosand, and everything else is included." Zhang Shikai took out a gray cloth storage bag and handed it to Zhang Shiping.

"Xingchenhuosand can actually collect two coins!" Zhang Shiping's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I happened to meet a casual cultivator who was eager to make a move, so I decided to accept it." Zhang Shikai also smiled very happily. This kind of second-order fire attribute spirit is usually rare. He is leaving. When I got lucky, I happened to meet a casual repairman who had the goods in hand, and I was eager to sell them. The price was higher than the purchase price of other large stores. I can't let other stores know about this kind of thing.

"How was the elixir sold last time? Can it still be sold?" Zhang Shiping and Zhang Shikai sat on chairs against the wall. There are three kinds of pills sold.

This is the most first-order jade tea pill, and it is also the one Zhang Shiping is most proficient at refining. It has a high success rate, basically does not lose money, and does not make much money, but Zhang Shiping does not want to spend a lot of time on it. He felt that the time he usually spent on cultivation was short, if it wasn't because his uncle entrusted him to study the Zhiyang Yunwen Pill Formula, Zhang Shiping would not have spent his time on it.

But since Zhang Shiping entered the Zhengyang Sect, Chen Wenguang secretly helped with many things. Although he didn't tell Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping learned something from Ye Yuanwei, the master of the Palace of Foreign Affairs. Now that his uncle has opened his mouth, how can Zhang Shiping say he won't help? Isn't he an ungrateful villain?

There are comings and goings, there are giving and receiving, and only then are there human affairs!

Since Zhang Shiping broke through the fourth foundation building level until a month ago, he had finally raised himself to the peak of the fourth foundation building level, and it took several years. Seeing that the next step is to build the fifth floor, Zhang Shiping is not in a hurry, because his own mana is not too refined, and he doesn't want his mana to be too vain. Only by laying the foundation step by step, will he be more confident at that time , to break through to the later stage of foundation establishment.

In fact, it was also because of the small bottleneck between the fourth and fifth floors of the foundation that blocked Zhang Shiping, preventing him from breaking through successfully all at once, and thus refined his mana.

The second elixir is the second-order jade tea elixir, there are only three bottles, and it took Zhang Shiping two months to refine it. Because of the low success rate of pills, the second-order jade tea pills don't make a lot of money, and they are used to make Zhang's shop famous.

The third kind of elixir is the first-order Zhiyang Wenyun elixir. At the beginning, Chen Wenguang gave Zhang Shiping the elixir, and the most refined ones are suitable for monks in the mid-stage of Qi refining. Over the years, Zhang Shiping has continuously deduced and improved the elixir. Now Zhiyang Wenyun Pill is considered to be the best of the first-order elixirs, and it is also effective for monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The stars and fire sand that Zhang Shiping needs now are like fiery red crystal diamonds, but they are very fine, as thick as ordinary river sand. They are a second-order fire-attribute spiritual material. , and a small part is crushed by the flint mined from the deep bottom lava, which is also called star fire sand, and the two have similar effects.
