Fairy cage

In the large quiet room of the Medicine Hall, a figure appeared again, sitting cross-legged on an exquisite futon, meditating silently.

This person was none other than Yu Lie. After he visited the old beggar and was accepted as his student, he exchanged a few pleasantries and was kicked out of the prison by the other party.

At the same time, the disguised "Mei Yan" Taoist boy was also left in prison. It seemed that the old beggar had other uses for him.

Yu Lie pondered for a moment, reviewing his night activities today. After realizing that there were no major omissions, he raised his head with emotion in his eyes.

Yu Lie couldn't help but sigh again:

"I didn't expect that a mere act of 'dirty hands' would actually bring me a lot of opportunities."

Deep in his heart, he wanted to thank the Taoist "Mei Yan". If it weren't for the other party's provocation, such a coincidence would never have happened.

However, Yu Lie didn't belittle himself too much. If he hadn't been strong enough to catch the old beggar's eye, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity.

After thinking about it, Yu Lie felt slightly happy again. He immediately took out the square of paper from his sleeve pocket, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Following the instructions taught by the old beggar, Yu Lie used his fingertips to draw a zigzag shape on the surface of the leather paper, and then immediately poured his own energy and blood into it.

Soon, the surface of the copper-yellow leather paper was slightly hot, and words like tadpoles emerged one after another, floating and flickering on the paper, which was quite mysterious.

This scene made Yu Lie's sense of anticipation even greater. The piece of paper itself was already at least an eighth-grade blood vessel. It was unknown whether the technique inside would be a magical technique of several grades.

Once the text emerged clearly, Yu Lie read it carefully.

But unlike the mysterious Taoism that Yu Lie had expected, the piece of paper the old beggar gave him was neither a magic spell nor a magical skill. Instead, the first few pages recorded only ordinary alchemy knowledge, which was the most basic one. kind.

However, after Yu Lie read through it and scratched his fingers on the leather paper, his attention was completely attracted after page after page of new content appeared.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and understood what the piece of paper he had discovered was, and what the "blood vessel of destiny" mentioned by the old beggar before was.

This piece of paper records the method of alchemy, from the initial identification of medicinal materials, to kneading pills, to watching the furnace and lighting the fire... various experiences and records, especially one recorded from the first-person perspective. Review the elixirs useful for cultivation.

This thing is clearly another practice notebook, to be more precise, it is an alchemy practice notebook!

Moreover, in the notes, there are often at least two comments on a piece of alchemy knowledge, sorted out in different handwritings.

Yu Lie was a little confused at first, secretly wondering what kind of handwriting this notebook was written in. But as he visited more and more content, he gradually understood that the various handwritings in the notebook were actually written by the same person. .

It's the old beggar who is suspected to be the master of Blackwater Temple!

The several different handwritings on the paper are actually various comments left by the other party at different times, reviewing his experience in alchemy over the years.

In the quiet room, Yu Lie held this thin piece of leather paper and read it quickly for more than two hours. However, he still did not read all the contents in it, because this alchemy notebook at least has some contents. Two thousand pages!

There are words and pictures in it, and some of the last content can actually move, and can even make various strange sounds. It is undoubtedly clearer and more intuitive than the silver mirror in the hand of Yu Lie.

Originally, Yu Lie wanted to continue reading in one breath, but the words and pictures on the leather paper were maintained by consuming his blood, which was a lot of consumption.

In addition, his brain power was amazing, and he was so distracted that he stopped in time when he reached the end of the page.

Rubbing the poor-looking piece of leather paper, the joy in Yu Lie's eyes became more and more intense.

After combing Haosheng, he simply stood up from the futon, paced around the quiet room with great force, and said happily:

"Old sir, don't you dare to deceive me!"

Although the old beggar did not teach Yu Lie half of the secrets of the technique, he had imprinted most of his life's alchemy experience on the paper, down to the smallest details. The price of its contents was already higher than what Yu Lie currently owns. The exercises books I have read.

Although the content of the notes currently only stops at the eighth level, the content of the eighth level alchemy only involves the refining of the blood vessel elixirs at the bottom of the eighth level.

But if it were placed in the hands of Yu Lie's original family, it would directly become one of the family's most valuable inheritances!

Because the content in it can be said to reveal all the secrets that have not been mentioned in Taoist books, it is straightforward and direct, not avoiding anything, the method can even be called bloody and naked, and it also writes about many failed alchemy attempts. summary of experience.

More importantly, this note is filled with a large number of comments from a high-level perspective from the perspective of a Taoist official.

Just the content related to breakthroughs mentioned in passing, for an ordinary small eighth-grade family, is a good thing that is hard to exchange for a lot of money!

Overjoyed, Yu Lie lowered his head again and looked at the paper on the table, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

There are two reasons for this. First, although the content he can see currently is only more than 2,000 pages, Yu Lie doubts that when he breaks through to the eighth-level Taoist realm, possesses the true energy, or refines the natal blood. The content that can be displayed on the device will probably be more.

The second thing is that the old beggar kept saying that he only accepted Yu Lie as a student in name, but in fact he gave him such a precious gift.

From this point of view, the other party's claim that he might accept Yu Lie as his disciple was not just a lie. It is even possible that the old beggar has been "persuaded" by Yu Lie and regards Yu Lie as his future disciple.

If Yu Lie had not been included in the candidate list of disciples, how could the other party have given away such things that involved the cultivation of true inheritance so easily?

Unless the old beggar was like Kumu in Greenwood Town, he didn't expect death at all, so he let his practice notes fall into the hands of others.

However, in the parchment paper given by the old beggar, in addition to detailed records and summaries, the contents are also arranged in a clear order from easy to difficult, and are obviously carefully selected and are not notes written for his own use.

Suddenly, this also made the delighted Yu Lie secretly think: "The old gentleman prepared these inheritance notes in advance... Could it be that what the Taoist boy 'Mei Yan' said is really not just a rumor?"

He frowned deeply.

Taoists attach great importance to inheritance, and they often value inheritance much more than blood relatives. It is also for this reason that occasionally in the world of mountains and seas, people will dig out the caves of their predecessors in the wild, obtain a line of inheritance, and then soar into the sky.

However, people in Taoism are a group that pursues immortality. Their goal is to enjoy immortality. They are not like ordinary people at all. When the time comes, they start to think about their funeral and inheritance.

Only those Taoists who are on the verge of death, or whose life is imminent and have no possibility of breakthrough, will carefully prepare the inheritance items.

"If that's true, it makes sense. Otherwise, why would I make a joke in front of the old gentleman, and the old gentleman would let go easily, without even a few tests..."

After realizing this, the joy in Yu Lie's heart suddenly faded a lot.

He looked at the leather paper on the table again, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Having just gotten a teacher, Yu Lie didn't want to be destined to be destined to him. And if the other party can continue to live, he can still get a lot of protection from the old gentleman.

After feeling a little disappointed, Yu Lie suppressed these miscellaneous thoughts.

He is still just a Taoist boy, not to mention the life and death of a seventh-grade Taoist official. Even if it is only a matter of the last eighth-grade Taoist disciple, it is not something he can think too much about at the moment.

Since he had discovered the matter by chance and informed the old gentleman, the old gentleman would naturally arrange the rest of the matter properly.

After all, the other party is most likely the seventh-grade Taoist priest who established Blackwater Town by himself. He has lived for more than a hundred years at least, so he must be older or older!

After calming his mind, Yu Lie rested his mind in the quiet room of Yaofangtang, and then continued to study the alchemy notes.

When he went in again, it was already bright outside the quiet room.

And within a few cups of tea, all the Taoist boys from Yaofangtang came to work on duty, including Lao Hutou and others, who respectfully came to ask Yu Lie to arrange things.

This was discussed the day before. Yesterday was just a show of force. Today, the entire prescription hall needs to be run and arranged. There will undoubtedly be more and more detailed things to do.

But Yu Liexin had received the inheritance of alchemy, so naturally he was too lazy to pay attention to mundane things.

For those who are practicing Buddhism, they can ultimately judge their level by “Dharma Power”, and Dharma Power is the foundation.

So he gave a few casual instructions, asking Lao Hutou and Luobotou to grab a handful each, and then sent everyone away.

In the next few days, Yu Lie stayed in the quiet room studying his notes.

In just five or six days, he was like a ball of cotton, trying his best to absorb the experience in the alchemy notes, and his alchemy level suddenly improved a lot.

It was not until seven days passed that Yu Lie came out of seclusion for another afternoon, telling outsiders that he was not dead yet, and that he would compare his alchemy skills with the Taoist boys in Yaofangtang as promised.

It's a pity that on the first seven days, no one really dared to come to Yu Lie and challenge him.

This made Yu Lie slightly disappointed. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to test the skills he had just learned from the paper.

Seeing that there was really no one around, Yu Lie simply came up with a specific bounty and hung it in the medicine prescription hall to encourage everyone, and then hurriedly entered the quiet room to practice and figure out.

time flies.

Another round of seven days passed, and Yu Lie came out of the customs again.

This time, an experienced Taoist boy from the prescription hall finally came to Yu Lie respectfully and asked him for advice.

Yu Lie was delighted by this, and immediately asked the other party to serve him wine and food, and let the other party choose what he wanted to "ask for advice" on his own.

After a grand "small meeting" in the Yaofang Hall, perhaps Yu Lie's alchemy skills were still a little weak, or maybe it was the Taoist boy who dared to take the lead in the challenge. He was indeed a powerful person with two skills.

Yu Lie lost and won, but did not crush the entire audience as Carrot Head and others expected.

While he was thoughtfully summing up his experience, he found the Taoist boys and asked for advice one by one. Then with a wave of his hand, he asked the other people to get promotions and raises for those who deserved a raise, and He took out the spirit stones from his pocket grandly, and rewarded one to everyone regardless of the winner or loser.

Everyone in Yaofangtang saw that Yu Lie was true to his word, and their eyes instantly became fiery. Some Taoist boys who had been looking forward to showing themselves were ready to move.

Such a scene was exactly what Yu Lie wanted to see.

Another period of time passed.

As the challenge continued, Yu Lie simply fixed the matter and named it "Lundan Xiaohui", stipulating that there would be one small contest every seven days and one big contest every ten days.

Except for a few of his confidants, all positions in Yaofangtang are held in the form of competition, but it is not a simple matter of winning or losing, and they will be laid off. It is more like a final elimination system.

During this period, Yu Lie himself convinced all the Taoist boys in the Yaofang Hall through just three rounds of "asking for advice".

After three actual competitions, he no longer participated in the battle in person, but acted as a high-ranking spectator and referee, merely watching the progress of the Taoist boys in their Alchemy skills.

At this time, he has clearly taken the position of the head of the Yaofang Hall, firmly and convincingly. Even the people in the hall next door are convinced by it!

While they are studying the art of alchemy in full swing, for the Taoist boys in the Yaofang Hall, there are two things that deserve their attention.

The first is that the town's original meeting to discuss merit and reward was not held as scheduled, but was delayed and postponed to at least a month later.

Secondly, Mei Yan, who was suspected of making harsh remarks, and several other old guys from the Yaofangtang disappeared after a month of seclusion, making everyone suspect that the other three were dead, but the alchemy room and the town , no one came to inquire.

Regarding these two things, Yu Lie was somewhat aware of them.

If his guess is correct, the first and second things are related to his newly acquired teacher.

The old beggar was already in the town, making moves and plans. Naturally, Mei Yan and the others were taken along and arranged with reasonable methods and means.

However, the water here is a bit deep, and it is not something Yu Lie can grasp for the time being. He doesn't know what the other party's intentions are.

What Yu Lie is most concerned about now is the research on natal blood vessels, and he has already started!

Yu Lie discovered that things like natal blood vessels seemed to be closely related to his natal magic...
