Chapter Thirty-Five: Exchange (Seeking Recommendation)

  The fierce flames of the stove, burning the dan furnace bright red!

  Fang Ling's face was a bit pale, and he stared intently at the white smoke rising from the censer.

  His expression was more tense than expectant.

  This is Fang Ling's 23rd furnace Rehmannia pill.

  Although Di Huang Wan is just an ordinary Dan medicine for Fang Ling, this time it was the closest he had ever come to success.

  "Refining the medicine, nourishing the fetus, forming the liquid, and pulling out the elixir - every step of the way, if the furnace fire is even slightly off by half a point, the entire batch of elixir will be ruined. This alchemist's work really isn't something that can be done by just anyone." Fang Ling's face revealed a hint of delight after the white smoke turned into a faint purple color, and he said this with a tinge of emotion in his voice.

  He sat back down on the rock, gently closing his eyes.

  All the steps have been completed, and what he needs to do next is to open the furnace and take out the elixir after a quarter of an hour.

  This was not his first encounter with such a situation. In his previous twenty-two attempts at alchemy, he had encountered the same circumstances three times before.

  And each time, the result was just a pile of ashes.

  Thinking back to the previous outcome, Fang Ling now has a desire to know the situation of the elixir inside the crucible. Unfortunately, his divine sense is too weak and small, and he can't even enter the crucible, let alone understand the situation inside.

  What kind of situation will it be if the divine consciousness is used to refine the elixir in the dan furnace?

  In the Dan Jing, Xuan Yue Dao Ren wrote about the contents of Tu Ji Xi Shi's spiritual transformation and alchemy with a tone full of envy, filling Fang Ling's heart with anticipation.

  For cultivators, the importance of divine consciousness is in no way inferior to that of spiritual energy!

  Even for some monks, spiritual consciousness is more important.

  Cultivate Qi for seven layers, internal Qi transforms into spiritual Qi, becoming a cultivator.

  Building the foundation can make the monk's divine consciousness stable, form the primordial spirit, and control the vessel with the divine!

  Boom

  The lid of the furnace was grasped by Fang Ling and lifted up abruptly, a burst of flames shooting straight out from inside.

  Fang Ling's large sleeves fluttered wildly, a burst of internal energy like a fierce gust of wind blew away more than half of the incoming Dan fire energy, and then he lowered his head to look inside the Dan furnace.

  This time inside the dan furnace, it wasn't a lump of black ash as before, but four deep yellow dan pills of varying sizes.

  They are called uneven in size because among these four danwan, the larger ones are as big as a baby's fist, while the smaller ones are only as large as peanuts.

  He picked up four dan medicines, and a faint scent of medicine wafted into his nostrils.

  It is Rehmannia glutinosa pill.

  I've finally successfully refined the Dihuang pill!

  Fang Ling was overjoyed, but also had a bitter smile. These four earth-yellow pills, no matter what, he would never take out.

  The difference in shape is enough to make people laugh to death?

  Gently closing the furnace lid on Dan's furnace, Fang Ling stepped out of the Xijiao Animal Garden.

  "Good sir!"

  "Good sir!"

  The servants busy in the yard saw Fang Ling, and one by one came over to pay their respects. Fang Ling smiled and nodded at these servants, and casually chatted with a few familiar ones.

  Xiyuan, the blooming flowers make the yard more fragrant than other places. This was originally Fang Ling and Hua Shuying's home, and now the two still live here.

  When Fang Lin walked in, the entire Western Garden was quiet. Now Fang Lin's hearing, within a hundred feet, basically nothing escaped his ears.

  In the room of Huā Pǔ Yǐng, he heard a faint breathing sound.

  Strolling to the window of Huashuying, through the half-open window, he saw Huashuying sitting quietly on the bed.

  At this time, Huashu Ying's face was solemn and dignified, with a few more points of cold elegance.

  But what caught Fang Ling's attention was not Hua Shuying's stunning face, but the faint cyan-colored aura that emerged from her head.

  These breaths were rare, but standing outside the window, Fang Ling felt a chill.

  Xuanyin Taosu Jue first layer is initially formed!

  In his own estimation, Huā Pǔ Yǐng would need at least half a year to reach this state, but unexpectedly, in just over ten days, Huā Pǔ Yǐng had actually cultivated it!

  That faint blue gas was still increasing, and Fang Ling stretched his hand through the window into the house.

  It was just a little over ten feet away, but this distance made Fang Ling feel twice as cold.

  This flower sister is really an extraordinary talent!

  Fang Ling sighed and knew that Hua Shuying was at a critical moment, so he didn't disturb her and walked away.

  Just returned to his room and was about to start practicing, the thin monkey walked in respectfully and reported a matter to Fang Ling: There is a guest visiting!

  At the time when Lin Mu had just left, there were not a few guests in Fang's house, but as soon as Chen Shengnan's daughter was taken by Jin Dan Zhenren as a concubine, these visitors disappeared without a trace.

  For those who fawn and flatter, Fang Ling had no intention of socializing. However, he must meet this person who has come now.

  It's because the visitor is Zhao Xian Shi!

  As one of the few masters in Dingfang City, Zhao Xianshi has a very high status in Dingfang City. Moreover, Fang Ling owes Zhao Xianshi a favor for what happened at Huwei Martial Arts Hall.

  When Fang Ling walked into the hall, Zhao Xian Shi was quietly drinking tea, wearing ordinary clothes, and compared to before, it seemed like there was no difference at all.

  At the same time Fang Lin was watching Zhao Xian Shi, Zhao Xian Shi was also sizing up Fang Lin. From the time he had picked him up from Lao Shan's secret realm to now, only a little more than a month had passed. But in Zhao Xian Shi's eyes, Fang Lin had already undergone another transformation.

  Not only has he grown a lot taller, but his whole person also gives people a more sharp and piercing feeling.

  It's like a long sword out of its scabbard, with a sharpness that can pierce through the sky and create a hole!

  "Hmm," Zhao Xian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his heart was even more shocked.

  Cultivate Qi in five layers!

  Could it be that he himself wasn't mistaken, this Ling actually reached the fifth layer of Qi training!

  More than a month ago, he was still at the third layer of Qi Refining, how did he reach the fifth layer now!

  Zhao Xianshi was also known as a genius in cultivation when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have become a seven-layered cultivator. But the more it was like this, the more he knew about the difficulties of advancing.

  Within a month he has advanced two ranks, what kind of monstrous talent is this!

  Zhao Xianshi didn't remember, no, should say didn't notice Fang Ling when entering the Lushan Secret Realm, otherwise his eyeballs would probably be staring out even wider.

  "Master Zhao, you're always so kind. These past two days I was just saying that I wanted to go visit you, and yet here you are, visiting me in person. It's truly an honor for my family." A smiling Fang Ling said with a smile on his face to Master Zhao.

  Looking at Fang Ling's passionate and natural demeanor, Zhao Xian added a hint of emotion. This young man's current temperament was completely in line with the posture of a family leader.

  This made him even more unwilling to slack off, and he stood up from his chair, smiling lightly: "Master Fang, I came uninvited, please forgive me."

  Two people chatted for a few sentences and then sat down as host and guest.

  Although Fang Ling knew that Zhao Xian Shi wouldn't come without a reason, he didn't immediately ask about his intentions and instead casually mentioned some unrelated matters.

  In the end, it was Zhao Xianshi who couldn't help but speak up. He had originally planned to let Fang Ling ask first and then follow along with his own words, but he didn't expect that this little Fang Ling would suddenly lose all his childishness and appear unusually mature in the way he treated others and handled things.

  This young man is really hard to treat like an ordinary person.

  "Mr. Fang, I've come here today to discuss a business deal with you."

  "A transaction? Fang Ling felt a thread of surprise rising in his heart, but on the surface, he calmly said: 'I don't know what kind of transaction Zhao Xian Shi wants to make with the Fang family.'"

  "This deal, since it's been proposed, will certainly not disappoint the other party." As Zhao Xian Shi spoke, he spread out his hand and took out over a hundred spirit stones from his small Qian Kun bag, placing them on the table.

  One hundred pieces of sacred stone is equivalent to one million taels of gold.

  And this Xian Shi, a cultivation treasure, is not something that can be bought with just gold.

  Looking at the sparkling fairy stone, Fang Ling was somewhat moved. This fairy stone is a good thing, not to mention anything else, just saying that the alchemy furnace obtained from Xuan Yue Dao person today uses the fairy stone to ignite the flame.

  Zhao Xianshi was not a generous person. He took out 100 pieces of spirit stone at once, and what he wanted to exchange for was absolutely not something ordinary.

  Fang Ling did not utter a word, but merely gazed at Zhao Xian Shi with a faint expression.

  "This hundred pieces of spirit stone, I only want to exchange for one thing." Zhao Xian Shi said in a low voice: "The alchemy scripture from the Xuanyue Daoist temple, I hope Master Fang can lend it to me for a look."

  The words "Xuan Yue Dao Ren's Dan Jing" made Fang Ling's heart skip a beat, but he quickly calmed down. As one of the few cultivators in Dingfang City, if Zhao Xian Sheng didn't know about Xuan Yue Dao Ren and his connection to himself, then he wouldn't be able to stay in Dingfang City anymore.

  "Lending Dan Jing to Xian Shi for a look is fine, but I don't lack Xian Shi at all."

  After stating his requirements, Xuan Yue Dao Ren kept staring at Fang Ling's face. When he heard Fang Ling openly acknowledge that the Dan Jing was in his possession, he let out a sigh of relief and looked up to him even more.

  Fang Ling didn't want the Xian Shi's method, which was also within his expectations.

  "Besides the Xian Shi, there are two more things below. " Zhao Xian Shi said as he took out a few small flags and a bottle of Dan medicine from his sleeve: "This set of five-element flags has the effect of attacking Ling Qi, and with the Xian Shi, it can increase the density of Ling Qi by twice."

  With a doubled spiritual energy, Fang Ling's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it and quietly waited for Zhao Xian Shi to continue.

  "This is a bottle of Golden Elixir, when cultivated with the Great Strength Vajra Method, it can allow Master Fang to transform his physical body into an indestructible Diamond Body within half a year."

  The so-called indestructible body is naturally relative to the sixth level of qigong and below. For cultivators, this kind of indestructible body is just a joke.

  But it's very useful for Fang Ling now.

  Fang Ling pondered for a moment, then took over the Five Elements Flag to examine it. Suddenly, he said: "I've heard that Master Zhao is well-versed in array techniques. This array should be one that you, Master Zhao, have personally cultivated, right?"

  "Not bad." Zhao Xian's words carried a hint of arrogance.

  In the Square Castle, he was the most skilled array master.

  The idea that had been forming in Fang Ling's mind was becoming more and more prominent. If he could put his thoughts into action, his combat strength would definitely increase significantly.

  Half a time later, Zhao Xian Shi left the Fang family with satisfaction, and in Fang Ling's hand, there was also a small book of array tactics and that bottle of Golden Strong Dan.

  ……

  On a mountain peak thousands of feet high, at this moment, a gray flying giant bird is rushing towards the direction of Dingfang City like lightning. Standing on the top of the mountain, only a basin-sized giant bird and a faint white shadow on it can be seen.

  Having a cold, I'm all dizzy and confused, almost forgot to update, seeking some collection recommendation votes!
