Chapter 157 Golden Marrow

Wei Zhong was practicing in seclusion when he suddenly noticed that someone outside Qingbo Island had touched the formation.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I, Wan Yanfu, would you like to meet me in battle?"

Wei Zhong walked out of the cave, his consciousness connected with the formation, and he immediately saw two alchemy monks standing out of thin air outside.

One of them looked familiar to Wei Zhong, it was Wan Yanfu who had spoken out just now. As for the other person, who is tall and tall, he is not wearing a Taoist robe, but a short jacket. Coupled with his strong body, he looks particularly strong.

Wei Zhong was doubtful, but he still opened the formation channel.

No matter what their purpose is, they must be met.

Flying to the passage, Wei Zhong held his hands:

"I've met fellow Taoist Wanyan," he turned and looked to the other side, "Who is this?"

Wanyanfu smiled and said:

"This is my fellow senior brother, Tao Ming."

Wei Zhong was suddenly enlightened and praised him:

"It turns out it's Yuanying monk Ruowu, who has met fellow Taoist Taoist Brother Tao Ming."

Wei Zhong had already searched for this person's information from the intelligence he knew.

"The metal earth spirit root traveled to the Western Desert and successfully formed elixirs. Then it disappeared for decades. It is suspected that it crossed the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains and went to Fengzhou for training..."

‘Now it seems that it has entered the middle stage. ’

"I have met fellow Taoist Wei and heard that his elixir skills are superb, so I came here to ask for elixirs!"

Tao Ming handed over his hand and explained the purpose of his trip.

Wei Zhong glanced at Wanyanfu.

‘So I came here to ask for elixirs. Wanyanfu really knows how to advertise for me. ’

"I see, you two please come in quickly," Wei Zhong guided the two of them to a place in the Yunqing Courtyard below, and ordered his servants to prepare spiritual tea.

"Fellow Daoist Wei's island protection formation is quite extraordinary."

Tao Ming looked at the spiritual light floating above his head and tightened his grip on the cup slightly.

"Haha, it's just a simple formation to deal with foreign enemies. It can't compare to the power of fellow Daoist Tao."

Wei Zhong laughed and didn't want to say more. Tao Ming was too sensible and didn't ask further questions. Wanyanfu on the side asked in confusion:

"I heard that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce has produced a new fourth-level alchemist in the past few decades. Isn't it Fellow Daoist Wei?"

Wei Zhong was stunned, guessing that Wanyanfu had made such a guess based on the various information he had learned. However, Yunji Chamber of Commerce concealed Wei Zhong's information very well, but he was not sure.

Then he smiled bitterly:

"I'd like to, but I'm not good at learning and I'm still stuck in the third level. The fourth level alchemy is out of reach!"

Seeing Wei Zhong's lonely face, Wanyanfu consciously touched Wei Zhong's sore spot, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Tao Ming interrupted:

"Okay, don't embarrass Fellow Daoist Wei. Living a leisurely and peaceful life on this spiritual island is much better than going to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce in Yunzhou City to scheming."

Wei Zhong became interested after hearing this:

"Oh, I heard from Taoist Fellow Tao Ming that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce has been in trouble recently? I don't have the strength to contact the core of the Chamber of Commerce. Can Fellow Taoist Tao Ming tell me something?"

Tao Ming put down the tea in his hand:

"As a member of the Shadow Moon Sect, Pindao doesn't know much. I just heard that due to the departure of Senior Xie, the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was involved in a power struggle."

"Power struggle?"

"There are just a few elder seats on the left and right. If fellow Taoists can enter the realm of fourth-level alchemy, they can also go and compete for it. Compared to our sects, the Yunji Chamber of Commerce is quite open-minded about such promotions. "

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"At this level, I can't think about this matter. Fellow Taoist Tao Ming might as well talk about the elixir that needs to be refined!"

Wei Zhong introduced the topic with one sentence, and he nodded, took out a jade slip, and pushed it in front of Wei Zhong.

Picking it up, Wei Zhong's consciousness penetrated it and examined it carefully. After a moment, he couldn't help but frown, and then put it down.

Tao Ming sipped his tea and asked:

"How about it, fellow Taoist, can you refine this elixir?"

Wei Zhong thought about it and replied:

"The elixir recipe that fellow Taoist took out is a bit strange."

Although the elixirs recorded in the jade slips are only of the third level, they are refuted by conventional elixirs.

Wei Zhong has been refining elixirs for hundreds of years, mostly using elixirs and spiritual fluids from heaven and earth to refine elixirs.

However, this elixir is made from gold and iron as raw materials.

Tao Ming nodded:

"This elixir recipe was accidentally obtained from the land of Yu Fengzhou. It is quite suitable for the metal skills I practice. However, the third-level alchemy master in the sect is not sure about this elixir, and the fourth-level master cannot spare the time. , so I had to ask fellow Taoists."

"Fengzhou, I didn't expect that this elixir recipe would come from such a distant place."

There was a moment of surprise on Wei Zhong's face, then he added:

"Although the refining process of this elixir seems complicated and refutes common sense, it is not too difficult for me.

If fellow Taoist Tao Ming can produce more than two spiritual materials, Pindao can guarantee at least two low-grade ones. "

When Tao Ming heard this, he felt surprised for a moment. He waved his sleeves, and a lot of raw materials recorded in the prescriptions suddenly appeared on the table.

Wei Zhong took stock with his spiritual consciousness and found that there was enough for at least three furnaces of elixirs.

"This is enough. Fellow Taoist, you might as well wait for a month, then you can come here to get the elixir."

Putting away the spiritual materials, Wei Zhong made a promise to the two people in front of him.

The latter nodded with satisfaction, stood up and handed over his hands:

"Then we will come back to chat with you Taoist fellow Taoist in one month."

After saying that, he flew into the exit of the formation and fled away.

Even the spiritual contract for refining this elixir was not signed with Wei Zhong.

He must have thought that Wei Zhong would not ruin his reputation for this mere third-level elixir.

"What a pity. I still want to ask him about the customs and habits of Fengzhou. But it will be the same if I ask him again in a month."

Wei Zhong waved his hand, and the formation channel in the sky was instantly closed. He turned around and stepped into the cave.

He took out the jade slip given by Tao Ming and immersed his consciousness in it.

"Golden Marrow Pill, take Gengjin Stone, Eight Treasures Jade..."

After reading the entire jade slip, Wei Zhong was confident about refining this pill.

"This pill recipe is to melt hundreds of spiritual materials, and finally get a pill full of gold spiritual energy.

It is very helpful for metal spiritual cultivators. With this practice, the effect is several levels stronger than the general Haoyuan Pill.

However, it is not much good for spiritual cultivation of other attributes. On the contrary, taking this pill will cause serious Taoist injuries.

It is a highly targeted cultivation pill."

Wei Zhong moved the jade slip away, took out the pill furnace, and moved his fingertips slightly. The fiery red golden flame immediately burned at the bottom of the furnace.

······

On the other side, Wanyan Fu and Tao Ming had already flown away, looking back at the Qingbo Island covered by the formation, thinking.

Wanyan Fu was surprised to see this and asked:

"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the formation on the Lingdao Island?"

Tao Ming said:

"The level of this formation is probably not low. I was in the formation just now, and I always felt like I was on edge. If Wei Zhong has ulterior motives to activate the formation, he might be able to keep the two of us in it."

Wanyan Fu was shocked:

"Could it be a top-level third-level formation? Wei Zhong is really willing to spend spirit stones."

Tao Ming shook his head:

"Who knows, but you and I should not provoke this person in the future. Such a lone cultivator has a very changeable temperament. You can't guarantee that he will stab you in the back at any time."

Wanyan Fu nodded, but he didn't care in his heart.

"Brother, how should we spend the next month?"

With a month, they can return to Yunzhou City at their speed, but they will spend all their time on the road, which is not worth it.

Tao Ming glanced at him and said in a serious voice:

"Master asked me and Senior Tan Tai to deliver a visiting card when he came here."

Wanyan Fu was stunned: "Where did the visiting card come from? Why don't I know?"

"Hmph, you big mouth, what will happen if you know? Won't it make the whole sect know?"

Wanyan Fu had a bitter face, slandering Master for treating his brother differently.

I didn't know what he thought of, and asked excitedly:

"But Master plans to fight this 'Blood Shura'?"

Tao Ming's eyes widened:

"Don't speculate on Master's plan, you two just need to deliver the visiting card."

Then the two fled to the mountains far away from Luo River.

Since the news that Luohe Mansion had hidden a Nascent Soul cultivator was exposed to the four major forces, the location of his retreat was known.

Tao Ming followed the map and came to a foggy valley with Wanyan Fu.

"Is it here?"

Wanyan Fu looked around. The spiritual energy around the valley was thin, and it didn't look like a high-level spiritual place.

Tao Ming pointed to the clouds below:

"The spiritual energy here is restrained by this special terrain, and the formation in the valley means that the spiritual energy leaks very little."

After explaining, Tao Ming bowed his hands and said loudly:

"Tao Ming and Wanyan Fu, disciples of the Shadow Moon Sect, request to see Senior Tan Tai!"

"The Shadow Moon Sect..."

Tao Ming repeated this three times before stopping, but his hands were still arched, and he waited for a reply with a serious look.

Wanyan Fu didn't dare to move at this moment. He stood beside Tao Ming and looked at the rolling clouds in the valley below.

Suddenly, the clouds and mists were swept away, gradually revealing a passage several feet wide, and a deep male voice came from it:

"Come in!"

The two men immediately let go of their raised hands and sank into the cloud and mist passage.

After a moment, Tao Ming took out a golden visiting card and respectfully handed it to Tan Tai Lin, then stepped back and stood aside with Wan Yan Fu.

After Tan Tai Lin took the visiting card, he looked at it carefully.

The whole body of the card was made of some kind of metal, and there was an inexplicable red light in the golden color.

It was called a visiting card, but there was no word on it, and it was full of fine depressions.

Tan Tai Lin grinned and murmured:

"If I were to use this little trick on me."

With a laugh, the powerful Yuanying consciousness probed into the golden card.

The latter seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism by Tan Tai Lin, and the gold and red on the post began to blend, and finally gathered into a dazzling golden-red sword energy, rushing straight to Tan Tai Lin's forehead.

Tao Ming and Wan Yan Fu, who were accompanying him, saw this and their faces changed drastically. They never expected that their master's way of greeting the monks of the same level was so unique.

Facing Tan Tai Lin, who was known as the "Blood Shura", this really put the two disciples on the fire.

The sudden appearance of the sword energy did not surprise Tan Tai Lin at all. He smiled slightly, and a ball of red blood energy suddenly swirled on his arm.

It was the wonderful method recorded in the "Blood Spirit Sutra".

The blood energy spun slightly, and then turned into a blood-red ring, imprisoning the sword energy inside. Under the conflict between the two, the sword energy showed its true form.

It turned out to be a thumb-sized sword, the sword body was golden in color, but there was a thin red line extending from the sword head to the sword tip, emitting a faint red spiritual light.

The ring and the sword collided, back and forth, sometimes advancing and sometimes retreating.

The spiritual power generated by the collision made the two brothers Tao Ming pale.

Yuan Ying fought in the air, and it was a stretch for Jin Dan to watch.

Fortunately, this fight in the air did not last too long. After a hundred breaths, the ring and the small sword were both broken.

The spiritual power dissipated, and the last aftermath hit. Tao Ming and Wan Yanfu were hit and retreated together.

He looked up in horror at the golden note in Tan Tai Lin's hand.

This time, the two fought evenly in the air battle.

When the small sword was broken, one of the messages entered Tan Tai Lin's ears, causing the other party to laugh.

With a flick of his right hand, the golden note instantly turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

After losing the blessing of Yuan Ying sword energy, it was no different from ordinary iron and could be easily destroyed.

"Go back and tell that old boy Ruo Wu that I received the note and will definitely keep the appointment on time."

Tao Ming clasped his hands and bowed, and then flew out of the valley with Wan Yanfu.

Outside, Wanyan Fu was still in shock and began to complain about his master for taking such a risky action without caring about the safety of his two disciples.

Tao Ming didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only sigh. Looking back, such a provocative behavior seemed to be more in line with his master's style.

"I will definitely ask for compensation from my master when I go back this time," Wanyan Fu said, covering his chest.

"Okay, okay, I will compensate you now."

He pulled Wanyan Fu over and headed towards Yuelan City in the center of Luohe Prefecture.

······

On Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong slapped the alchemy furnace, and a golden elixir instantly soared into the sky.

The spiritual power turned into a big hand, trying to take it, but the golden aura it exuded tore a finger.

"Good fellow, this is not a spiritual pill, it is clearly a magical weapon covered with golden blades. How can a cultivator who has reached the stage of forming a golden pill swallow such a pill?"

While speaking, Wei Zhong increased his spiritual power output and used the Black Water Spirit Clothes Technique to capture it.

He took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

The whole pill was golden, and the gold energy on the surface was flowing unsteadily, turning into various sharp blades to cut the spiritual power in Wei Zhong's hand.

"A low-grade pill."

According to the pill recipe, the classification of the Golden Marrow Pill is not based on the efficacy, but on the ease of refining the pill.

For low-grade spiritual pills, the gold energy is the most active and difficult to refine. There is a risk of serious injury for cultivators taking it.

For the middle-grade pills above it, the activity level is reduced and the difficulty of refining will also be reduced.

As for the upper-grade pills, the gold energy is completely dormant, and the difficulty of refining is not much different from that of ordinary Haoyuan Pills.

When Wei Zhong first refined this pill, he did not have the ability to refine the upper-middle-grade pills.

"The first time I refined this pill, I succeeded in producing a low-grade pill, which is pretty good."

There were still two spiritual materials left, so Wei Zhong cleaned the pill furnace and started refining it again.

The second time, three pills were produced, all of which were low-grade.

The third time, three pills were also produced, but one was of medium quality.
