"So it's Fellow Daoist(道友: fellow Taoist) Mei Gu. It's been more than ten years. Your cultivation has become even more exquisite, making Fang feel ashamed."
The old woman ignored Zhang Ling and the other cultivators, but raised her eyelids and glanced at the bald old man.
"Hehe, Brother Fang. You're not staying in your Tianhua Sect. I didn't expect you to participate in this matter."
"Haha, Fang's old bones have been wasted for hundreds of years, and I still want to go further before I die. Moreover, the alien demons are the great enemies of the human race, so we naturally cannot stand idly by."
When the old woman heard this, she sneered twice and ignored the old man. Instead, she turned her eyes and swept over Zhang Ling and the other twenty-odd people.
"Are these the alchemists sent by Yanhua City? Looking at these kids, their cultivation is not bad. I didn't expect the Twelve Immortal Cities to be so generous. I underestimated you."
"We humans are of the same origin. Several coastal countries have been attacked by sea beasts. Among them, there are traces of alien demons. The Immortal City will naturally not sit idly by."
"I hope there will be no uncontrollable factors, otherwise it will be difficult for us to protect ourselves even with hundreds of years of cultivation..."
Watching the old man and the old woman chatting, Zhang Ling and the other cultivators naturally did not have the slightest impatience.
Zhang Ling also obtained some information from the words of the two people. It seems that there have been riots of sea beasts in these coastal countries, which are also related to alien demons. The situation seems a bit complicated.
However, these are not things that their low-level disciples can decide. Since they have come here, Zhang Ling also calmed down.
He remembered the task that the bald old man said to them alchemists when he saw him before.
As he guessed, it was to let them refine pills, but the old man did not reveal what kind of pills they were to refine.
But with so many Foundation Establishment Stage alchemists, it is probably not an ordinary thing.
And the old man surnamed Fang who led them here, don't look at his appearance, but his strength has reached the late stage of the Golden Core, he is a real Golden Core stage expert.
With this kind of cultivation, Zhang Ling and others could not but be in awe. Seeing that this person and the black-clothed old woman looked familiar, it was needless to say that he was also a powerful expert.
"Okay, Qing'er, Hong'er, you take these people and arrange their residences."
"Yes, Great-Grandmother."
After the two experts chatted for a few words, the old woman instructed the clever girls behind her, and left with the old Zhang head surnamed Fang.
"Hehe, Qing'er, Hong'er greet all senior brothers and sisters."
Without the two experts present, the cultivators became more active. The two girls smiled and respectfully saluted everyone. Completely unlike their previous well-behaved appearance.
"Please come this way, senior brothers and sisters."
Not long after, Zhang Ling and others were assigned their residences by the two girls. Zhang Ling's residence was a small courtyard leaning against the mountain.
There were three thatched huts and a small medicine field. It was better than he thought.
After having a residence, Zhang Ling took out the Six Jia Bewildering God Array as soon as possible and arranged it in the courtyard.
Although the courtyard itself had an attached formation, Zhang Ling still believed in the Six Jia Bewildering God Array in his hand.
Early on the first day, the witnesses gathered in front of your previous pavilion to accept the alchemy tasks assigned by Old Man Fang and the old woman.
I saw this Senior Mei Gu, first tapped the ground with the dragon head crutch in her hand, and suddenly more than twenty rays of light flew out of her sleeves.
Zhang Ling only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a long strip of token floated to his eyes.
"This is your token here. You should refine it."
"Yes"
In a short period of time, more than twenty people completed the refining of the token. Then Mei Gu said again.
"The identity card can only be used in Wufeng Valley Market, and the validity period is five years. After that, you will have the opportunity to return to Immortal City."
"During this period, you are prohibited from entering and leaving the market. As for cultivation resources, our Mingyang Sect will not treat you badly. Every year you can get one thousand spirit stones and one Mingling Pill(明灵丹: Bright Spirit Pill) reward per month, and Yanhua Immortal City will also give you three thousand merit points."
One thousand spirit stones per year is not a small amount for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the cultivators here are all alchemists. It is much easier for them to earn spirit stones than ordinary people.
With Zhang Ling's current alchemy level, one thousand spirit stones can be accumulated in four or five months if he starts alchemy every day.
But the "Mingling Pill" is a rare elixir of the Mingyang Sect, suitable for monks of any spiritual root. It is much more powerful than ordinary elixirs.
This kind of elixir can cultivate the foundation and solidify the origin, allowing monks to quickly condense spiritual power. Although it is not a breakthrough pill, one per month for five years is a considerable amount.
As soon as these words came out, the other alchemists were also overjoyed. Don't look at the fact that this kind of elixir can only increase the cultivation speed by two or three times.
But five years is enough to offset more than ten years of hard work. Saving more than ten years, the lifespan of these Foundation Establishment monks is roughly around two hundred years.
More than ten years is not much, not little. But it is also make people yearn for. Maybe these more than ten years can determine whether a monk can enter the next big realm.
Two hours later, Zhang Ling came to a stone house built of black stone in the ground under the leadership of a boy.
This is a Earth Fire Room in Wufeng Valley Market. Zhang Ling sat cross-legged on a yellow futon, holding a jade slip and carefully studying the information in it.
"Exorcism Powder"
It is the pill they are going to refine. It is not accurate to say it is a pill, it is just a powder mixed with several materials.
This powder can emit a peculiar fragrance, which can be used to drive away sea monsters. Refining it is not difficult. But the demand is very large.
They have to hand in ten pounds of Exorcism Powder every three days.
Hearing this task, Zhang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that they were here to do hard labor. It was completely different from what he thought of refining rare pills.
Zhang Ling studied the refining steps of Exorcism Powder for several hours, and began to refine it.
He took out a storage bag from his arms, and with a flash of spiritual light, a gray rock appeared on the ground.
These stones instantly filled several feet in front of him, and at the same time a faint fragrance floated into his nose.
The gray stones are not rocks, but a spiritual wood crystal called Coagulating Fragrance Wood. As for the appearance of stones, it is because it has been condensed by the refiner.
What the alchemist has to do is to condense more deeply and extract a kind of essence. This is a material of Exorcism Powder.
This emitting fragrance is very disgusting to sea beasts. Therefore, it can be used to refine Exorcism Powder.
Zhang Ling picked up a gray stone the size of a fist, and with a flash of spiritual light in his hand, a faint yellow flame rose.
This is the Congenital True Fire he condense after Foundation Establishment.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Ling frowned. There are many impurities in these stones, and it is not easy to condense.
Seeing this, he no longer tested, took out the cyan pill furnace, and activated the underground fire vein. Start condense seriously.
