After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 309: A mandrill came to your door. Did you take its things?
Having the realm-breaking pill in hand is the greatest guarantee.

Although Qin Zhou didn't know where Chen Yang's confidence came from, he knew that Chen Yang would face this day sooner or later.

Even if we take a step back and say that even if the breakthrough fails, doesn’t Huang Daolin still provide a backup?

Now, with Huang Daolin here, it would be much safer for Chen Yang to choose to break through at this time.

"When are you going to try to break through?" Qinzhou asked.

Chen Yang looked at Huang Daolin, "Uncle should be able to cultivate the medicine tonight. I will try it then. I will train my physique to the limit tomorrow. It shouldn't take long..."

Qin Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then, let's talk about the matter of Gooseback Mountain after you break through."

The reason I came here today was to call Chen Yang to go to Ebei Mountain together.

But now it seems that I can't leave for the time being.

Compared with finding the Chixiao Sword, Chen Yang's breakthrough is more important.

Chen Yang didn't say much. Having one more person guarding him meant more safety.

"There is something, I wonder if you have heard about it?"

At this time, Qin Zhou changed the subject, "Ding Sihai seems to be alive again. Old Man Xue has cured him of the poison. I heard that he is now awake and in the recovery stage..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Yang frowned slightly.

But then, he shook his head indifferently. The life or death of a mere Ding Sihai would not have much impact on the current situation.

The most important thing is that Ding Sihai didn’t know that it was Chen Yang who plotted against him.

Therefore, even if he woke up, Chen Yang would not be at risk of being exposed.

Qin Zhou continued, "I met Liu Henghu before I came here, and he told me that the Ding family is shrinking their business and calling back their clansmen. It seems that they have realized that disaster is imminent and are preparing to retreat back to the tribute market..."

Chen Yang was not surprised by the Ding family's move.

Qinzhou couldn't explain in too much detail in front of outsiders. What he wanted to say was that if the Ding family retreated back to Gongshi, it would be difficult for Chen Yang to plot against them later.

"Oh, just hide away..."

Chen Yang smiled indifferently, "Some things are not what they want. There is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. For a family like the Ding family, I don't believe they can stay put."

If Duan Qiuping had not broken through to the realm of creation, and the Ding family had no powerful backing, the Ding family might have really huddled down and behaved in a timid manner.

However, Duan Qiuping's breakthrough into the realm of creation was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Ding family.

The old fellow Ding Lianyun must be now suspecting that the two old men from the Mountain-driving Association are behind the Ding family's conspiracy. If nothing unexpected happens, King Liu and the other two will most likely be punished by Qingshen Mountain when they go to Qingshen Mountain for the banquet this time.

Although Qingshen Mountain would never go against the authorities, with Duan Qiuping, who is at the Creation Realm, mediating, shouldn't King Liu give her some face?

As long as he can deal with King Liu and the other two, Ding Lianyun will definitely think that the crisis is over. At that time, will he still choose to retreat?
That's not the Ding family's style.

So, these worries are completely unnecessary.

Chen Yang didn't care about these at all. The top priority before him now was to break through the spiritual realm as soon as possible.

……

-

Qingshen Mountain, Baiyun Temple.

A thin mist covered the top of the mountain, and an ancient building was looming in the drizzle.

Thinking of my cliff.

The flowing clouds are like a torrent and waterfall, surging past the cliff.

Two tall pines stand upright on the edge of the cliff, like two immortals playing chess, having gone through vicissitudes of life and endless years.

There is an open space on the cliff, and a wooden house is built next to the woods.

Ding Lianyun took out his cell phone and made several calls, but no one answered.

The expression on his face became more and more solemn.

At this time, an old woman came out of the wooden house.

The old woman was wearing plain clothes, with a head full of white hair falling down like a waterfall. Her eyes were full of vicissitudes, with frost at the corners of her eyes, and a hint of sadness and fatigue.

At first glance, she looked like an old woman in her seventies or eighties, but upon closer inspection, she did not seem to be that old.

The skin on her face was very pale and bloodless, but there were not many wrinkles on her face. She looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old.

A plump young woman supported her and she walked with a slight stagger, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

If Chen Yang were here, he would definitely recognize that this young woman was Wang Pandi who escaped from him that day.

"Aunt Ping, why did you come out?"

Ding Lianyun hurriedly went forward, stood on the other side, and held the old woman's arm.

"You just broke through not long ago, and you are weak now. You should rest more. I have asked someone to prepare some high-quality health-preserving herbs, which will be sent to the mountain today..."

Ding Lianyun's voice was gentle, and he looked like a filial son.

The old woman, whom she called Pinggu, smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ding Lianyun said earnestly, "My father passed away many years ago, and I am already old. There are only two elders left in this world, Aunt Ping and Uncle Li. Isn't it my duty to respect my elders?"

The old woman smiled.

She sat down at a stone table on the edge of the cliff and looked up at Ding Lianyun. "Still can't get in touch?"

Ding Lianyun shook his head repeatedly. "I was able to get in touch with him once the day before yesterday, but the signal was too poor in the mountains. Later, Junior Brother Jiang sent another text message asking for help. I asked a few friends from Panshan Realm to check on the situation. I got in touch with him again this morning, but now I can't get in touch with him again..."

The old woman pondered and said nothing.

Jiang Guangfu and Meng Cuizhi are both her favorite disciples. They are also extremely outstanding in the spiritual realm. The couple are of one mind and one strength, and there are not many people in the spiritual realm who can be their rivals.

The underground palace was indeed dangerous, but not so dangerous that they would never come back.

"I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart, Aunt Ping..."

Ding Lianyun looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He had been in Qingshen Mountain for the past few days and had already told the person in front of him about the Ding family being set up and some recent events.

The old woman waved her hand. "There will be a banquet on the mountain in the next two days. The two people from the Mountain Expedition Association will also come. If you think they are behind this, you might as well talk to them. I think they should not be so unwilling to give you this little face..."

Ding Lianyun's face trembled slightly when he heard this. "But, our Ding family's loss this time is immeasurable. I suspect that the conflict between my grandson Shaoxian and Pandi was also instigated by them behind the scenes. Shaoxian's life or death is still unknown, and it is very likely that he has been killed..."

"The most hateful thing is that they actually put my father's skull up for auction. How can this be tolerated? Aunt Ping, are we just going to let this go? Our Ding family lost so many people and suffered so much loss, but they didn't suffer any loss at all?"

From what the old woman said, she wanted him to make peace with the two people from the association, but he was really unwilling to do so.

"You also said that you only suspected it, but you have no evidence. Besides, the other party is an official. What else can you do?"

The old woman said calmly.

Ding Lianyun stood by and had nothing to say.

The old woman sighed, "I haven't been down the mountain for many years. After I have some rest, I should go down the mountain for a walk. I don't know if some of the old friends and places are still there..."

She was a little distracted, looking at the clouds and mountains in the distance, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ding Lianyun said, "The underground palace in Bamianshan..."

"Wait a minute. If they haven't come out by then, I'll go there myself."

The old woman came to her senses, shook her head gently, stood up and walked back into the house.

Ding Lianyun stood on the edge of the cliff, thinking over and over, and felt that something was wrong.

There has been too much bad news recently. The only good news is that his son Ding Sihai has woken up.

No matter who is behind this, given his temper, he will definitely retaliate.

Now, Duan Qiuping has just broken through the Creation Realm, and her attitude is still unclear, but Ding Lianyun is confident that he can get the support of this woman.

By then, no matter whether the person behind the plot is the two people from the Mountain-Ganning Association or not, the other party will definitely pay the price.

……

-

It's quiet at night.

"Ouch..."

From deep in the forest, there was a human-like roar, like a lonely person expressing his emotions in the middle of the night.

A dark shadow took advantage of the cover of night to enter Huangjia Village and quickly jumped into Huang Daolin's yard.

"Wang Wang!"

The black tiger immediately roared at the black shadow, baring its teeth, but did not dare to get close.

"Oh my god!"

The four of them were playing cards in the main room, and none of them had gone to bed yet. Qinzhou was sitting in the upper seat, and he saw something in the yard at a glance. He was so frightened that he screamed and almost threw the cards in his hand. Oh my!

The dark shadow in the yard was the mandrill that I had seen during the day.

Huang Daolin jumped up, went to the yard and confronted the ferocious creature.

I had just agreed with it this morning to stay on the mountain, but it came down the mountain in the evening and came to my door directly.

Isn't this just stepping on their faces?
"What do you want to do, beast?"

Huang Daolin was full of vigor and shouted loudly.

This thing is indeed difficult to deal with, but that doesn't mean Huang Daolin has no way to deal with it. If he really has to risk his life, Huang Daolin is still confident that he can suppress it.

"Ho ho..."

The mandrill was not willing to be outdone and also roared at him madly.

Huang Daolin's expression changed several times. After a while, he turned and looked at Chen Yang. "Did you take its things?"

Take something from it?

Chen Yang was stunned.

He immediately thought of the small bead he had found in the cave.

He hasn't even had the time to study it yet?
So, this beast came down the mountain just for the pearl?

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, reached into his pocket and took out the bead.

"Ho!"

The mandrill roared excitedly. If Huang Daolin hadn't stopped it, it would have pounced on him.

Chen Yang said, "Is this the thing? I saw it in the cave. It was shiny and pretty, so I just put it in my pocket."

Huang Daolin's gaze also fell on the beads in Chen Yang's hand and paused slightly.

"Ho ho..."

The mandrill kept roaring at Chen Yang.

"What did it say?" Chen Yang frowned slightly, feeling that this beast seemed to have something to say!

Huang Daolin said, "It said that it no longer wants the things you have touched..."

"Uh!"

Chen Yang paused. What happened to the things I touched?
I'm kindly preparing to return it to you, and you're still rejecting it?
Huang Daolin said, "It said that it can give you the things, but the prerequisite is that you find a good companion for it..."

"Ah!"

When Chen Yang heard this, he was stunned. It didn't find anything at all, so why would it say that?
Are you so persistent in finding a companion?

I ran down the mountain specifically to find the thing, but now it doesn’t want it anymore?
Is it that it has no discernment and cannot recognize good stuff, or is it that this thing is not valuable?

"Ho!"

It roared at Chen Yang again, as if warning him.

Then he turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving the four of them with a look of shock.

……

In the hall.

Chen Yang played with the beads in his hand, "Is this thing very valuable?"

Huang Daolin reached out to take the beads, took out his reading glasses from the drawer of the coffee table, and looked at them carefully for a moment.

“It’s precious, but it’s not very precious.”

After a while, his frown gradually relaxed, "It's just a fake pill."

"Fake pill?"

Chen Yang looked at him in astonishment, "Uncle, what is a fake pill?"

From the first moment he saw this thing, Chen Yang felt familiar with it. Almost subconsciously, he was certain that it was an inner elixir.

At this time, Huang Daolin said that it was a fake elixir. Could this inner elixir be fake?

Huang Daolin said, "If you cultivate the inner elixir in the Spirit Realm, you can break through to the Creation Realm. It is said that the inner elixir is exclusive to the Creation Realm, but in reality it is not. Some creatures in the Spirit Realm, including humans, also try to form elixir when they cannot meet the conditions for forming elixir and their realm is not as good as the Creation Realm..."

"However, this type of Dan formation is usually performed when one is on the verge of death, or when one knows that death is not far away, in order to leave behind some power inheritance..."

"In fact, the elixir formed in the Spirit Realm is just an aggregate of the energy of the body's essence and qi. It is fundamentally different from the essence and spirit of the Creation Realm. This kind of inner elixir is called a fake elixir. You can think of it as a stone full of energy."

"Generally speaking, the appearance is exactly the same as the real inner elixir, so it is easy to confuse it with the real one. But for those who really know the business, it is very simple to distinguish. The fake elixir is very small and cannot compare with the round texture of the real inner elixir. This is one reason. Secondly, there is no spiritual energy in the fake elixir..."

……

Huang Daolin spoke eloquently and was indeed very knowledgeable.

If he hadn't told him, Chen Yang wouldn't have known that there could be fake inner elixirs.

After he finished speaking, Chen Yang asked, "In other words, this inner elixir was condensed from the spiritual realm?"

"The energy in it is mixed. I think it is most likely condensed by a beast in the spiritual realm. The energy of a fake pill condensed by a human in the spiritual realm would be much purer."

Huang Daolin nodded, "Besides, a lot of the energy in this fake pill has been consumed, and there is not much left."

Chen Yang was a little disappointed when he heard this.

I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be a broken treasure.

In other words, this thing cannot be compared with the dragon's inner elixir at all.

"Is there any way to use the energy in here?" Chen Yang asked directly.

"of course can."

Huang Daolin said, "If it is a real inner elixir, it may be difficult to deal with, but a fake one is much easier. With your current physique, you can even swallow it directly. There is not much energy left in it. Even if it is violent, your body can fully withstand it. It's just that the process may be a little painful."

Then, he continued, "When you break through the spiritual realm, you will consume a lot of energy. Although there is not much remaining energy here, it is at least left by the spiritual realm. When the time comes, you can use the energy in it to help you break through the three gates. It can't be said that it can open all three gates, but at least it can save you a lot of effort..."

Huang Daolin handed the fake pill back to Chen Yang. "I also have some homemade medicines here that can replenish your energy and spirit and help you break through. But there's no rush. After tonight, you should first train your body to perfection."

"Thank you, uncle."

Chen Yang thanked him sincerely, and then said curiously, "It's a pity that it's a fake pill. If it was a real inner pill, would I be able to fly?"

"Ah."

Huang Daolin smiled slightly, "Real inner elixir? How can you come across that thing casually? Only when you reach the realm of creation, restrain your spirit, and cultivate to a very high level, can you condense it into an elixir. Once the elixir is completed, you will attract the thunder again and ascend to the Daozhen..."

"Moreover, if you dare to swallow the real inner elixir like this, you are simply courting death. The energy in it is so terrifying that even if you leak a little bit of the elixir liquid, it will be enough to burst your body and die. Even the Golden Immortal will be unable to save you..."

……

"Is it so horrible? I saw those people in TV dramas swallowing it directly?" Before Chen Yang could ask, Huang Can spoke first.

Huang Daolin sneered, "If you are in the Daozhen realm, or the Tianren realm, of course you can swallow it directly. If your physique is not strong enough, forcing yourself to swallow the inner elixir is just courting death. I once accidentally picked up half of an inner elixir, and it took me six years to..."

Huang Daolin paused for a moment, then waved his hand, "I've strayed off topic. I've started thinking about the past again..."

"Don't, uncle."

Chen Yang was getting excited and was about to get to the point, so how could he stop? "What's wrong with you spending six years?"

"Yeah, don't stop talking halfway." Huang Can was also very curious.

Huang Daolin sighed, "It took me six years to use that half of the inner elixir to concoct 102 pills, and another twelve years to practice the art of subduing children and supporting the spirit to perfection. Alas, it was during that time that I neglected my family, and my wife ran away with the children..."

"Uh……"

The second half of the sentence made the three of them shut up.

Seems like a sad story.

It can be seen that Huang Daolin still has some regrets.

However, Chen Yang got a message from his words.

This old man has a way to use inner elixir to prepare pills, which is definitely an unexpected gain for Chen Yang.

He had always wanted to make use of the dragon's inner elixir, but he just couldn't find a way.

Recently, I found a recipe for Yaowang Wine from Baoguo Temple, but I still don’t know if it will work.

He planned to give it a try first. If it didn't work, he would try to learn how to use the inner elixir as medicine from Huang Daolin.

If we rashly ask Huang Daolin now, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

The inner elixir of the dragon is an absolutely rare treasure. Chen Yang is not stupid enough to use this thing to test human nature.
