The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 261 Danfang

"Alas, things are unpredictable..." Xiao Yunan shook her head and sighed, "But I never thought that what Duke Yong Chong couldn't accomplish back then, Duke Shouyang would soon accomplish..."

"Ah? Which father-in-law is this?" Li Fan did not react.

Xiao Yutan was not surprised by his personality, and explained, "My father-in-law, he is the Taifu of the current dynasty, Duke of Shouyang County, Sima Xuanwen, Li Lang, you don't understand the ways of the Immortal Palace, so don't get involved blindly. Regarding the three major sects, just remember not to offend anyone in the Taifu Mansion when traveling around the world. Alas, that prince is the one who truly rules the world, and he is really much more powerful than my father."

Li Fan was a little confused, "Well, there are actually quite a few people who are more powerful than Lord Xiao, right? Ahem, I mean, now that Sanyuan was defeated in the Kun Kingdom and lost his generals, can he be considered very powerful?"

Xiao Yutan smiled, "Since the Immortal Lord, the only one who can lead the Immortal Lord family, control the three tribes and six tribes, the four guards, and the north and south armies is the Taifu of the current dynasty.

Now that Wen Tianjun is dead, the turmoil in the countries continues, and no feudal prince can challenge Sanyuan. I heard that even the Nine Great Mysterious Sects have joined forces with the Taifu in order to concentrate on dealing with the divine sect. Taifeng is almost under the control of the Taifu Mansion.

Even though I am a woman, I can see that there is no stopping the revival of the Immortal Palace and the unification of the world. In short, the world seems to be in chaos at this time, but the general situation will soon become clear, and you will know it by looking at it. "

It was unexpected that Xiao Yunan was so optimistic about Sanyuan's Taifu Li Fan. Of course, he didn't look down on him, but based on his own experience, he always felt that among the three major sects, the Immortal Palace family was obviously better than Xuanmen and Shenmen. The teachings are all inferior to each other. They are simply relying on the lingering shadow of their ancestors. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and they are struggling to support themselves.

But if you think about it carefully, the Immortal Palace has actually been in the midst of chaotic infighting between the Immortal Clan, the Immortal Army, the central area, and various factions since the death of the Immortal Lord. It is indeed unfair to compare the current divided and internally divided strength with the unified divine sect and the nine great sects gathered through Yuntai Peak. Perhaps as Xiao Yunan said, when the Tutor's Mansion takes the lead in unifying the Immortal Palace, will these be the three major sects worthy of the name?

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Li Fan, and if I have to say it, Mo Zhushan seems to be from the Taifu line, right? Doesn't that guy from Taifu's Mansion still owe him a sum of wages? It can be seen that he, Li Fan, and everyone in the three major sects are all good friends!

She was no longer poor. Xiao Yunan didn't know if she had applied perfume or powder on her body. There was a faint fragrance on her body, and she didn't know if it was because of the heat or something. She wrote a few words with a brush and her shawl clothes were taken off, revealing her roundness. Her pink shoulders revealed a pair of jade bamboo shoot-like arms, and she would rub against Li Fan from time to time, making him uneasy.

So in order not to interfere with her silent writing of "Lingshu", Li Fan chose "leave voluntarily" at this point in the plot.

It happened that Zhou Chengxue came over to play with him.

"Brother Li, I heard that you went to sea to fight against monsters? Did you hunt some good things? Do you want me to take you to exchange for some magic weapons, talismans or something like that?"

"Oh, they are just some weird stuff, but I gave all the materials of the monster beasts to the two Ling family members for submission. There are also some random stuff picked up from the seabed nearby. They should be ownerless. Brother Zhou, please help me look at them. Let’s see if there’s anything valuable.”

After all, his mission is actually to 'protect the sisters of the Ling family'. Now that we all have a frank relationship with each other, it doesn't matter if he leads a few monsters, and the key is to use them to deal with the evil octopus and the devil fetus. , go to the formal channel of the real palace and poke it on the table. He wanted to see how the upper echelons of Penglai would react to the fact that the spies of the cult had arrived at his doorstep.

"Of course... Damn it!" Zhou Chengxue took the storage jade from Li Fan and glanced at it almost biting his tongue, "Could these be Brother Li's collection over the years?"

Li Fan shook his head, "No, I just picked it up this time. The East China Sea is really rich. Rare and rare treasures can be found everywhere. I collected so many just by picking them up. I am so lucky to join Penglai."

Zhou Chengxue was a little dumbfounded, "Really? Is Penglai so rich? Can you pick up thousand-year-old red corals everywhere? Why have I never encountered them before?"

"Honglan...oh, this, I came across it by chance when I was chasing monsters. Such a big piece took up too much space, so I cut off some others and threw them away. Why is this thing so rare? Aren't corals everywhere? Yes, I saw that it was sparkling and pretty, so I took some. I planned to make jewelry for Yu Na. What is the use of this thing? Is it used to build the foundation?" Li Fan said casually, half truthfully and half falsely. Lilie.

Zhou Chengxue covered his heart, took three deep breaths, and muttered something like "Foolish people are blessed by fools" before calming down and saying, "Red blue coral can not only be used as a great treasure for foundation building, but can also be used for refining." Pills, Brother Li, it’s a bit presumptuous to say this. You have collected so many materials this time, I wonder if I can try my hand at making a pot of pills for you?”

"Oh? Brother Zhou, you want to make an elixir? Okay, okay, can you let me follow you to see it? I don't mean to steal your master. I am just a common man in the mountains. I have never seen an immortal refining an elixir. I am really curious."

Li Fan was not surprised by Zhou Chengxue's enthusiasm. After all, Penglai was like this. The opportunities to make alchemy in the sect were all occupied by those Taoists who were at the front. Ordinary alchemists had to beg the disciples who had collected the materials to help them make alchemy. For practice.

But Li Fan has never seen anyone else make alchemy. After all, alchemy in this world is a core secret. Although he had taken one pill when he had something to do, he had taken nearly a hundred pills, and he had never made a single batch of it.

Zhou Chengxue was very happy. He took Li Fan and flew to the Taoist palaces surrounded by smoke and clouds. "Why not? I wanted you to help me. Don't worry, you have collected so many treasures. I will subsidize you with some auxiliary materials." , you can refine Donghua Eternal Spring Pill."

"Ah? So it turns out that these are all you need to make the Donghua Eternal Spring Pill?" Li Fan was a little surprised, "They seem to be just ordinary seafood? I heard what you said, 'The Supreme Treasure Lingfang, the famous Donghua Eternal Spring Divine Pill! It's so powerful, I thought it would take dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder to refine it."

Zhou Chengxue smiled and said, "Brother Li, you know nothing about alchemy, but you are right to the point. Let me ask you, is it better to use an elixir that requires rare materials to be refined, or one that can be refined from common materials?" What's better?"

"Of course it is...oh, I see."

After listening to Zhou Chengxue's explanation, Li Fan understood a little bit.

In the final analysis, the process of refining alchemy is to remove the impurities in the objects and retain as much of the refined essence as possible for digestion and consumption by the Tao body. But no matter how powerful the alchemist is, every time he refines and purifies the elixir, he will inevitably suffer losses or even fail.

And high-grade spiritual materials such as dragon liver, phoenix gallbladder, etc. are already pure enough in themselves. To put it bluntly, wouldn't it be beautiful to make them into immortal meals? It would even be fresher if you eat them directly. Why take the risk of using them to make elixirs? And if there is any elixir recipe, it must be made with particularly rare key materials. In the end, it is not how powerful the elixir is, but the effectiveness of the materials is particularly significant, right?

"Of course, those old-school ancient sects still focused on giving full play to the characteristics of genius treasures and pursuing the ultimate level of elixir effect. After all, all kinds of materials were scarce at that time, and everything was lacking and they had to fight for everything. Miraculous medicines are not meant for everyone.

But over the years, with the completion of Yuntai Peak, the nine major Xuanmen have continued to exchange the five arts, and more and more people have practiced Taoism. Alchemy Taoism has also seen talents emerge in large numbers. In addition, the production of various spiritual materials has also increased with Xu Yue. The frequency has increased, at least Xuanmen has made many innovations and improvements in the way of alchemy.

In particular, we should improve those top-grade elixirs with excellent medicinal effects, study the use of various common medicinal materials, and gradually replace those rare and genius treasures. On the basis of maintaining the effectiveness of the elixirs, we should pursue the output, so that all kinds of elixirs can be used. Medicine, at least for the disciples of the inner sect, is no longer something that can only be obtained. "

As Zhou Chengxue spoke, he led Li Fan to the top of the Penglai Mountain. With a move of the jade pendant in his hand, he opened a restriction and entered the Penglai Cave.

At a glance, I can see huge Taoist palaces built on the floating fairy island everywhere. The palaces and palaces are connected together. From the top of the towers and pavilions, there are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and seven-color smoke and mist filling the sky and the earth. The clouds and fog everywhere are like a fairyland on earth, covering all the fairy islands.

But these smoke clouds are not as colorful and harmless as they seem. These are not illusions, they are all elixir smoke coming out of the alchemy furnace.

"Be careful with these smoke clouds, the erysipelas is very strong." Zhou Chengxue spread his hands and revealed a pearl magic weapon, which emitted a breeze and blew away the smoke and dust around him, forming a spherical protective gas shield around him and Li Fan. Then he pointed to the palaces and said, "These are all refining Donghua Eternal Spring Pills."

"All of them?" Li Fan was stunned when he heard this. This was the size of Louguanta Town, but it was just an alchemy workshop in Penglai? No, this can’t be said to be a workshop, it’s already a factory, right?

Zhou Chengxue took a sapphire gourd from his arms, poured a Donghua Eternal Spring Pill to Li Fan, and explained, "This pill is the foundation for our Penglai overseas sect to compete with the wealthy families in the Central Plains and to establish a foothold in the nine great sects." .

Back then, I sent the great master of alchemy to develop the Nine-turn Donghua Eternal Spring Pill, which had a miraculous effect on restoring Taoist body injuries. However, the first generation of the pill recipe not only required the use of auspicious materials such as unicorn, mirage beads, Fritillaria, Qingluan, and Canglong. beasts, as well as all kinds of rare and rare treasures. However, such a refined elixir is indeed extremely effective. If you only hold half of it under the tongue, your Taoist body will be able to survive without exhaustion of essence and blood. When you are fighting with a sword, even if you have a fatal wound like heartbreaking and disembowelment, you will be able to heal your body. Instant recovery. It can be said that I took advantage of everything during the fight, so as you can see, I, Penglai, have spread to the Nine Palaces so far. I am a master like a cloud and am powerful all over the world. It is also thanks to this.

"Is this also the ninth rank?" Li Fan frowned and took a look. It had indeed been changed. The smell of this elixir was much lighter than the ones refined by Guanzhu.

"Today's elixir recipe has been changed. The Donghua Eternal Spring elixir back then was an elixir that could only be used by leaders, palace masters, and direct disciples. Now the scales, bones, claws, claws, and teeth of the mythical beasts and rare treasures have all been replaced. It has become a common material in the East China Sea. It is enough to refine and purify the resulting medicine to achieve similar effects.

Of course, such an elixir has little effect on the Taoist body of the great monk who transforms into gods, but the gods naturally have other substitutes. Anyway, there are countless secret recipes for the elixir of that level. What is missing is the spiritual material, so it doesn't matter if you use others. . "

Li Fan frowned, "But this can no longer be regarded as the 'Nine Turns of Donghua Eternal Spring Pill', can it?"

Zhou Chengxue smiled and said, "Why don't you count it? I, Penglai, said this is the Changchun Pill, and Yuntai Peak also said it is the Changchun Pill, so that's it. What's more, the effect of this pill is still the same. It can save the lives of disciples in the Golden Pill stage." It’s enough. Those in the Nascent Soul realm can still be used to heal injuries. And if you want, you can continue to add materials to refine it to gradually increase the potency. There is just a slight difference in potency.”

Zhou Chengxue took Li Fan into an unmanned Taoist palace on the outskirts, which was probably his own alchemy workshop. Inside was a huge three-foot-tall alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace was somewhat similar to the boiler used to stew the Five Immortals Soup in Mozhu Mountain. Like, but the cauldron is divided into nine layers. From top to bottom, there are carvings of Qilin, Xuanwu, Qinglong, Toad, White Tiger, Suanni, Suzaku, Chiki and Baxia.

But it looks like it's all gathering dust. It hasn't been used for a long time. Is that okay? You...

"Here, put on these clothes."

Zhou Chengxue took the storage jade and arranged his inventory for a while, then gave Li Fan a blue Taoist robe, covered his face with a gauze scarf, and then took Li Fan to the Taoist palace inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Fan felt something was wrong. How should I put it? It was too modern. At first, the style of Zhou Chengxue's alchemy workshop was relatively normal, with a strong flavor of immortality, but the Penglai Sect's alchemy workshop was different! The style of painting is different! It’s really a factory!

When you enter the factory, you have to go through seven or eight doors. When you open the door, you will feel the breeze blowing out. The ground is still soft anti-static material. It is obvious that this is a standard negative pressure dust-free workshop! The boys who come and go inside are all wearing Taoist uniforms and masks, and they also wear spiritual jewels and jade masks to protect themselves. Not even a hair flake will fall on the ground, and most of them are 'things', they are all spiritual boys! This is considered a "humanless" factory!

Every palace has an exhaust system. It is cloudy outside, but there is a gentle breeze inside without any impurities. Moreover, this alchemy furnace is not made of bronze. It is polished to a fluorescent shine. It is obviously some kind of alloy, but it is basically The structure is still there, with nine upper and lower floors, all with pipes and feeding ports.

Li Fan was so dumbfounded that Zhou Chengxue pulled him and took him to the nearby workshop. He saw trays of deer antlers in the workshop, which looked like...

"The Qilin horn is not the horn of the auspicious beast Qilin, but the horn of the East China Sea Spirit Clan. They change their horns regularly and sell them to the sect. If the quantity is sufficient, they can be refined and used." Zhou Chengxue pointed to Li as he spoke Wherever you look.

There happened to be a boy in the workshop next to him who took the Eldar horn and poured it into the material. He first polished it to pieces with sword light, then put it in the alchemy furnace and added the alchemy liquid to refine it, creating a jelly-like gel. Most of them were placed in jade boxes and transported to the next workshop. After negotiating with Zhou Chengxue, a boy cut off a piece and gave it to him to take away. However, there seemed to be a magic circle prohibition in this factory, and storage jade could not be used, so Li Fan put it in a box and carried it.

I also visited other similar workshops and picked up about thirty or forty kinds of ingredients and auxiliary materials. They are indeed common materials in the East China Sea such as pearls, corals, and herbs. They are constantly being processed by children into various powders and solutions. , colloids, are all ingredients for large-scale production. I also borrowed a cart and filled it up layer by layer.

It can be seen that Penglai Sect also takes care of inner sect disciples like Zhou Chengxue. They can make some semi-finished products to make elixirs on a first-come-first-served basis, as long as they make up the corresponding materials afterwards. Anyway, this kind of factory is obviously a large-scale production, assembly line If it doesn't come with a stop, it won't make any difference if you take less. With such large-scale production, the cost of Donghua Changchun Dan must be kept very low.

Zhou Chengxue collected enough materials and brought Li Fan out, pointing out the Dao Palace inside to him, "I can't take you in there to take a look. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net That's the forbidden place where the elixir was finally refined. There are many high-quality artifacts and genius treasures for refining.

In the past, the refining part had to be at least the responsibility of the alchemy master, but the prescription has been improved, and the elders also need to practice. Now it is all the responsibility of the disciples who have passed the alchemy master examination in each mountain. Our Penglai, this is Xia Chengming of Zhizhen Palace.

Each of the Yingzhou square pots also has one such alchemy workshop. You have also seen the top three results on the list, with a total output of almost four to five hundred pieces per month.

According to the agreement with Yuntai Peak, our Jiuzhen Sect pays 300 Nine-turn Donghua Changchun Pills every month and distributes them to the nine major Xuanmen in exchange for raw materials and supplies from other sects. This is a permanent mission. The extra Part of it will be rewarded to the alchemist. "

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, "But isn't this the sect's resource? Didn't that number one get more than a hundred coins in vain?"

"You mean Xu Chengyang? Oh, actually it can't be calculated that way. Working for the sect will definitely delay your own cultivation time, and the risk of refining the elixir is still very high, even if the elixir recipe is changed, even if the refined elixir furnace magic weapon is , are also high-grade artifacts, but after tempering to the ninth level, the risk of losing the elixir is still very high.

I have roughly calculated this input. If the refining materials are enough, the output of a single workshop should be the scale of Qiandan. However, the final product is only one or two hundred, which shows that the yield is not high, and it takes nine times to refine. Turn, you can only refine one batch in a month at most, and some exquisite processes take at least several days. If you are not in a hurry, if you fail, all the rewards accumulated in the past will be returned without mentioning it. Even the Dao Palace will have to pay a lot of money to the sect. The situation with elixirs is not uncommon either. If there are consecutive failures like this, even Daozi's position may not be guaranteed and replaced.

Of course, being able to actually practice and have the guidance of many seniors in the alchemy workshop will be of great benefit to the cultivation of alchemy. "
