Nine Turns of Nirvana

On Baoding Peak, in a solemn hall.

This is the Pinglun Hall of Baoding Peak, the first place for real people and elders to discuss matters, and the highest center of power in the entire Baoding Peak.

It is also the venue for Baoding Peak’s famous roundtable conference.

At this time, more than ten elders in the main hall were present, sitting together around a huge round table. In the middle of the round table were two exquisite trays with strange shapes, and each tray contained a strange pill. medicine.

One is wrapped with a golden dragon pattern that looks like a living creature, and the other is twinkling with a lifelike red lotus mark.

These were the two elixirs that Lu Yu had refined during a gambling battle with Elder Li Nanyang on Jade Butterfly Peak not long ago.

All the elders were silent when facing these two pills. The whole hall could hear the needle drop, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

It wasn't until a deacon hurried in that he broke the silence of the hall.

The deacon glanced at the positions of the elders in the hall, walked cautiously to Elder Feng Jianyao, and whispered something.

After listening to the deacon's report, Elder Feng remained calm and waved his hand gently, and the deacon immediately retreated in fear.

It wasn't until the deacon completely exited the hall that Elder Feng smiled bitterly and spoke.

"Lu Yu has already finished selecting from the material library. This kid has very poisonous eyes. As expected, the items he selected are all top-notch natural and earthly treasures. For example, the snow soul ice crystal that took eight hundred years to grow has also been selected by him. gone!"

After hearing what Elder Feng said, all the other elders present frowned.

"This kid has such a big appetite! He even took away the Snow Soul Ice Crystal, isn't he afraid of being stretched to death?"

"We at Baoding Peak spent a lot of effort to exchange that piece of Snow Soul Ice Crystal from Da Luo Holy Land. I didn't expect that we got the advantage of this guy before we even had time to use it!"

"The Snow Soul Ice Crystal is not eye-catching. I have mixed it with the Moonlight Crystal Stone in advance. If I hadn't known it in advance, even the rest of us here would not be able to distinguish it. I didn't expect that it would still be picked up by him." After being singled out, this guy’s eyesight is indeed poisonous..."

"Although this guy is good at making elixirs, he has bad intentions and ulterior motives!"

…

Elder Feng didn't expect that everyone would have such strong opinions on this matter, so he couldn't help but stand up from his seat, with a look of shame on his face.

"I was reckless in this matter and acted on my own without consulting everyone..."

Just as he was mid-sentence, a man who was sitting safely at the head of the round table, with a calm and powerful aura, suddenly waved his hand to cut it off.

This person is none other than the first real person in Baoding Peak - Jinxiang real person Fan Jinxiang.

Seeing Jin Xiang's actions, everyone consciously closed their mouths and looked at him.

"Elder Feng is also happy to see Hunter Xin. As an alchemy person, I think everyone here can understand this approach. There is no need to mention this matter again..."

"Besides, the value of this elixir may not be worthy of the ten top-notch materials!"

As he spoke, Master Jin Xiang suddenly raised his hand slightly.

The Cleansing Pill with the red lotus mark in the middle of the round table suddenly floated up automatically without any wind, circled around the round table, and finally landed in the hands of Master Jin Xiang.

Master Jin Xiang held the elixir in his hand, placed it in front of him, and stared at it silently.

"Is the Prime Minister also so optimistic about this dust-cleansing pill?" One of the elders couldn't help but ask.

Master Jin Xiang did not answer, but instead picked up a page of paper on the table. The paper was filled with densely written words, which were the names of various materials.

"Is that Lu Yu the one who refined the dust-cleansing pill using these eighty-eight kinds of materials?"

Elder Feng nodded: "Yes, although no one saw clearly what he chose when he was selecting materials, the materials at the scene were all provided by the staff of the Presbyterian Academy. After backward deduction, it can be confirmed He used exactly these eighty-eight materials, and I have repeatedly confirmed this with the elders and deacons who were present at the time."

Master Jin Xiang asked again: "Has Li Nanyang also seen this elixir? What did he say?"

Elder Feng replied: "After returning to Baoding Peak, Elder Li Nanyang came to see me once and looked at the elixir in my house for two full hours without saying a word until Finally, he told me: Taisu Shiluo Fang still has room for improvement..."

"After saying these words, he left and stayed behind closed doors. Even if he was specially invited to this meeting today, he did not come. According to his disciples, Elder Li Nanyang locked himself in In the alchemy room, I am still thinking about Taisu Shiluo prescription."

Upon hearing this, Master Jin Xiang couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, and glanced at the surrounding elders before answering the previous elder's question.

"Li Nanyang deserves to be someone who can understand Taisu Shiluo Fang. His understanding is indeed higher. It is a bit humiliating to let him hold the position of foreign affairs and not attend the round table meeting..."

"This dust-cleansing pill may not be worth ten top-quality materials in terms of its own value alone, but if we look at the value behind it, then it can be said to be priceless!"

"Otherwise, who among all of you here can use these eighty-eight materials to refine a pill that is comparable to this dust-cleansing pill? Or, let alone refining a complete pill, who can Do you understand the secret behind it?”

All the elders could not help but lower their heads.

Indeed, Lu Yu was able to refine a ninth-grade elixir using only these eighty-eight kinds of materials. This was simply unbelievable to them, and they had no idea what kind of skills were hidden in it.

"I have to admit that this son's refining technique is indeed unique, especially the collapse method mentioned by Elder Feng before. It is simply exquisite."

An elder sitting at the left end of the round table suddenly spoke.

"But everyone should not forget that the "Taisu Alchemy Sutra" is a legacy of Taisu's ancestors, and Taisu Shiluo Fang is the key to solving the entire "Taisu Dan Sutra"! The top priority is whether Elder Li Nanyang should first Call me over and explain to you the specific refining techniques of Taisu Shiluo Fang?"

"Then everyone will discuss together how to interpret other chapters in the "Taisu Alchemy Sutra". After all, the "Taisu Alchemy Sutra" is a supreme classic that directly points to the Dao. Perhaps our Dali Sword Sect's Dan Dao is flourishing. At this point, I think this should be the focus of our meeting!”

At the end of his speech, the elder's tone was strong and deafening.

Master Jin Xiang shook his head and sighed softly.

"The "Taisu Alchemy Sutra" is indeed the supreme classic of our Dali Sword Sect. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the supreme guide to alchemy. As for the Taisu Shiluo Fang, it has been rumored that it is the complete interpretation of I have some doubts about the key point of "Taisu Alchemy Sutra"..."

"The Taisu Alchemy Sutra has been circulated for thousands of years. Although the Taisu Shiluo prescription is difficult, it has been successfully copied by our talented people no less than ten times. Every time we thought it would be successful. It has been of great help in interpreting the "Taisu Dan Sutra", but to this day there is still no progress."

"Therefore, I think everyone should not have too much hope this time, and don't act too hastily. Since Li Nanyang has new insights into Taisu Shiluofang, we'd better not disturb him for the time being. Maybe he Maybe there will be new surprises for us.”

After hearing what Master Jin Xiang said, the elders couldn't help but look at each other.

The elder who spoke just now asked in astonishment: "According to the Master's wishes, shouldn't we do nothing?"

"The Dan Dou incident on Jade Butterfly Peak has made Jade Butterfly Peak so popular. If we can't respond, won't we just watch Jade Butterfly Peak grow bigger?"

"In fact, as far as I know, there are already many mountain peaks that plan to order elixirs from Jade Butterfly Peak. Some peaks have even sent people to contact Jade Butterfly Peak in advance. If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid it will be shaken. The foundation of our entire Baoding Peak!”

Master Jin Xiang glanced at the elder and smiled coldly.

"What a joke! How many years has it been since Jade Butterfly Peak was founded? How many years has Baoding Peak been able to stand firm among the Dali Sword Sect? If the foundation of Baoding Peak is so easily shaken, I think we will be disbanded right here. There’s nothing to regret!”

"I think it's not the foundation of our Baoding Peak that's been shaken, but the private property established by you elders outside, right?"

"I know that all of you here have your own workshops outside and undertake business privately. I have always turned a blind eye to this. After all, you also rely on your own craftsmanship to make a living. But if anyone wants to kidnap Baodingfeng If you protect his private property, then don’t blame me for being rude!"

Master Jin Xiang's tone was stern, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the elders one by one. All the elders who made eye contact with him consciously averted their eyes, and no one dared to look at him.

"The First Master is serious. We do have an alchemy room outside, but it is just entertainment in our spare time. It will definitely not delay our own work, let alone harm the interests of Baoding Peak..."

All the elders bowed their heads and promised.

Master Jin Xiang retracted his sharp gaze, looked at the two pills in front of him again, and continued the previous topic.

"Master Yeran, you have also studied the Taisu Alchemy Sutra in depth. What do you think of these two elixirs?"

The elder sitting on the right side of Master Jin Xiang has an extremely powerful aura and is also a real man with Jindan realm. In addition to being the elder of this round table meeting, he is also a real elder selected into the cabinet of the Council of Elders.

There are five real elders like Master Yeran on Baoding Peak, which fully shows that Baoding Peak has a profound foundation. However, due to being busy with other matters, only Master Yeran was present today.

Master Yeran heard Master Jin Xiang mention the "Taisu Alchemy Sutra" and immediately understood what he meant.

"What the First Master wants to say is, could it be the connection between this dust-cleansing pill and the third chapter of Taisu Huilong Fang in the "Taisu Dan Sutra"?"

Master Jin Xiang did not expect Master Yeran to point out the crux of the problem right away, and couldn't help but show approval in his eyes.

"Yes, it seems that Master Yeran has also figured out that the technique used in this dust-cleansing pill coincides with the third chapter of Taisu Huilong Fang An in the "Taisu Pill Sutra"..."

"Especially the method of collapse mentioned by Elder Feng just now. If it is used to interpret the section of 'The soul ring continues, the shocking dragon collapses the mountain' in the third chapter, it is simply perfect. In the past, reading this section always made people feel In the mist, I didn’t know what to say, but now that I know the existence of the method of collapse, when I look back and read this paragraph, I can’t help but suddenly realize that the content recorded in this paragraph is related to the method of collapse. Different approaches but similar results?”

"It is still unknown whether Taisu Shiluofang can unlock more chapters in the "Taisu Dan Sutra", but if the method of collapse can be mastered, then I believe that soon the "Tai Su Dan Sutra" will be The third chapter will be easy to solve!”

When Master Jin Xiang finished speaking, his tone became uncontrollably excited.

The elders around him couldn't help but be shocked.

Who would have thought that the key to unlocking more secrets in the "Taisu Dan Sutra" is not the "Tai Su Dan Sutra" itself, but the dust-cleansing elixir in front of him.

"It's a pity that this method of collapse is in the hands of Lu Yu. If you want to pry this method out of him, I'm afraid it won't be too easy..." Master Yeran sighed and said.

Master Jin Xiang also fell silent immediately.

Indeed, Baoding Peak had to pay the price of ten top-notch heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the finished elixir that is now just one. If he wanted to obtain the entire refining method, even if Lu Yu agreed, I am afraid that the conditions offered would not be Baoding. Peak can bear it.

And this Lu Yu is now at the peak of his popularity and has the favor of many real elders. It will definitely be impossible to take strong measures against him.

Moreover, Master Jin Xiang also has a deeper concern at this moment...

Why is this Lu Yu able to master the method of collapse at such a young age?

Where did he learn it? Could it be that he really created it himself?

Where did he come from?

First he understood the Star Sword Technique, then he dealt with monsters in the secret realm of Xiao Li Tian, ​​and now he has this extremely mysterious method of collapse...

It is so extraordinary to achieve such a high level of achievement in such a short period of time!

As the leader of a peak, Master Jin Xiang naturally has his own vision. Now is the troubled time of the Dali Sword Sect, so he has to consider more.

This Lu Yu, what kind of person is he?

It seems that since he entered the Dali Sword Sect, Bai Yunfeng has been stubbornly believing that this person is possessed by a demonic nature, and has even issued a killing order against him. Is this just a misunderstanding?

Jin Xiang's eyes flickered with cold light.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision.

"This matter can only be solved slowly..."

"Since he wants a bigger stage, let's give him a bigger stage. Convince the Elders' Council to first certify him as an alchemist, and then invite him to represent the Alchemy Conference at the end of the year. Li Jian Zong is ready to go to war!"

"I want to see how long he can hide his secrets when he enters the earth-fire furnace!"

The Alchemy Conference is jointly sponsored by the Eight Immortal Sects. It invites famous alchemy practitioners from all over the world to attend the conference and discuss alchemy skills together. It is only held every five years.

The end of this year happens to be the time for the event to be held.

In the past, those who attended this grand event on behalf of the Dali Sword Sect were all members of Baoding Peak. This was Baoding Peak's consistent honor.

Unexpectedly, Master Jin Xiang would give up such a great opportunity to show his face to Jade Butterfly Peak Lu Yu.

For a moment, all the elders couldn't help but be stunned.
