Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 138 Studying Alchemy and Fighting Ye Liuyun

In the Fan Mansion of Danzhou, in Leng Feibai's courtyard.

Feeling the memory of the conversation with Chen Pingping transmitted back by his clone, Leng Feibai slowly opened his eyes.

"There's really nothing to worry about if we rely solely on Chen Pingping..."

Leng Feibai thought to himself, "But I can't just do nothing. That Phantom Dream Control Talisman that can control other people's dreams can be used to deal with that old loach Emperor Qing. Now, it's better to do something serious."

Having made up his mind, Leng Feibai glanced at Sang Wen lying on the bed, then stood up and entered the twelfth-floor building.

On the fourth floor of the Magic Pavilion, Leng Feibai went directly to a shelf at the entrance.

There were only four thin books on the shelf, but for some reason, Leng Feibai had only read one of them.

"Introduction to Alchemy", "Introduction to Weapon Refining", "Introduction to Formation Techniques..."

Leng Feibai muttered to himself, "Alchemy, formations, weapons, and talismans are the four great arts of immortality, chivalry, cultivation, and literature. I originally thought that specializing in talismans would be enough, but now it seems that refining weapons and alchemy cannot be neglected either."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he picked up the introductory book on alchemy and began to read silently.

The content of the introduction to alchemy is not very complicated. It only introduces various knowledge about controlling fire, integrating medicinal properties, and nourishing elixirs in alchemy.

After Leng Feibai had memorized all the knowledge above, a huge vibration was immediately felt in the sky above the Twelve-story Building.

Leng Feibai was overjoyed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly climbed up to the sixth of the twelve floors.

The decoration of this floor is not very complicated. In the center of the sixth floor, there is a huge furnace.

A scroll is hung above the furnace, and below the furnace is the Taoist Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

Behind the furnace, there were four flashing light gates, each engraved with "Recovery Pill Formula", "Assistive Cultivation Pill Formula", "Assistive Combat Pill Formula", and "Poison Pill Formula".

In a corner of the sixth floor, there is a staircase leading to the seventh floor.

There was no barrier on the stairs, which meant that Leng Feibai could now go to the seventh floor.

Looking at the things here, Leng Feibai became curious and quickly walked to the furnace to take down the scroll hanging on it.

"How to use the alchemy furnace..."

Leng Feibai muttered, "Step on the Li Gua position and inject your internal energy into it to control the firepower..."

The scroll contains instructions for using the alchemy furnace. By inputting true energy into the corresponding hexagram position, one can operate the alchemy furnace.

The Wind and Fire Gua position uses the True Qi to condense the Spiritual Fire to control the fire temperature, which is used to refine the medicinal liquid and make the elixir;

The Water Marsh Gua uses the True Qi to condense the Spirit Water, refining the medicinal materials put into the alchemy furnace into liquid medicine, and then condensing the liquid medicine into the prototype of the elixir;
The Tianlei Gua position releases energy to destroy the impurities and residual medicine residues in the condensed medicine liquid, ensuring the purity of the medicine.
The Dishan hexagram releases spiritual energy, responsible for maintaining the medicinal properties of the elixir. Putting down the scroll in his hand, Leng Feibai looked at the light door in front of him curiously, but he didn't rush to check the prescription inside. After all, there was Sang Wen, a time bomb outside who didn't know when to wake up.

It is not convenient for me to leave a clone outside to guard the outside world now, so I can only wait until nightfall and come in to try to refine the pill.

As for the three levels of weapon refining, Leng Feibai has no plans to open it for the time being. After all, the current world does not require the use of powerful weapons such as magic weapons to help. He should master the method of alchemy first.

But not long after Leng Feibai left the Twelve-Story Tower, his expression suddenly changed, and his gaze immediately turned towards the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, in the Jiangnan region, Huizhou is close to Suzhou.

One of Leng Feibai's clones looked at the person opposite him with a serious expression.

The person opposite was an old man with black hair and an old face, but he exuded an aura that made the clone unable to be careless.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, this clone was heading towards the nearby woods, preparing to go in and regulate his breathing. After the spiritual energy that maintained the talisman clone's formation was restored to some extent, he would rush to the place where the next Junshan Society member was.

Just at this moment, a burst of old and heroic singing came from afar.

"The waves are but a momentary bloom, but they are no different from a thousand-year-old stone, and so are the flowing clouds..."

The singing soon followed the old man to his front. Coupled with the other party's face that was no different from Hu Zongxian, Leng Feibai already knew his identity. He raised his hand and said, "Greetings, Senior Ye!"

After hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why, do you know me?"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I once heard your singing by chance while traveling. That's why I recognized you."

Ye Liuyun laughed after hearing this and said, "Good boy, let me ask you. Did you kill Wu Ming, the second patriarch of the Wu family in Anping County, Huizhou, and his two nephews?"

Leng Feibai laughed after hearing this and said, "That's right, if you want to blame someone, blame them for joining the Junshan Society and becoming Li Yunrui's lackeys."

Ye Liuyun's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Why, do you have a grudge against Li Yunrui?"

"That crazy woman..."

Leng Feibai cursed, half lying and half telling the truth, "Back then, in order to smuggle with Northern Qi, she ordered the assassins of the Junshan Society to burn our entire village. Naturally, I must first cut off her arm, and then take her life with my own hands."

Seeing Leng Feibai's murderous look, Ye Liuyun secretly blamed Li Yunrui for his sins and advised, "You should leave Jiangnan first. Junshan will have many branches, not just in Jiangnan. In three months, I will leave Jiangnan and will definitely not stop you."

"Feel sorry!"

Leng Feibai said in a cold tone, gritting his teeth, "If Senior Ye wants to stop me, then kill me. Otherwise, I won't give Senior Ye time to inform the members of the Junshan Society to take shelter."

Seeing his thoughts revealed, Ye Liuyun sighed and said, "I am supported by the Junshan Society, and I really can't watch you slaughter the people in the Junshan Society. But I also don't want to hurt your sexuality..."

Before Ye Liuyun could finish speaking, Leng Feibai raised his hand and slapped out a palm, and a strong energy rushed out and flew towards Ye Liuyun.

"Nine Yang Little Thunderbolt"

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun raised his hand and waved it, and a stream of calm energy flew out and destroyed Leng Feibai's palm power.

"The remaining spiritual energy in my body can only exert half of my peak energy. I don't think I'm a match for Ye Liuyun!"

Leng Feibai was thinking secretly in his heart, but at this moment Ye Liuyun flashed in front of Leng Feibai and waved his hand to cover his shoulder.

"Scorching Sun Blade - Fiery Sun Twins"

Leng Feibai's arms turned into two scarlet swords and slashed towards Ye Liuyun's hands.

Ye Liuyun's face changed drastically. He immediately took dozens of steps back with his feet to avoid Leng Feibai's sword.

Leng Feibai then changed his moves and used the remaining power of the two blazing suns to launch a new sword move.

"Scorching Sun Blade: Fiery Sun Shining"

A huge sword energy slashed out straight away, and a flaming blade broke through the ground and slashed straight towards Ye Liuyun.

"Flowing Clouds"

Ye Liuyun raised his hand and waved it, the clouds in the sky rolled up, and in an instant they turned into Ye Liuyun's palm power and struck towards the air blade.

"boom"

With a loud bang, endless smoke and dust rose up, swallowing the two of them.

"As expected of the founder of Flowing Clouds Sanshou, it's much stronger than the Flowing Clouds Sanshou performed by Ye Ling'er."

"Damn it, I was careless. This kid's strength is definitely not an ordinary upper ninth rank."

Ye Liuyun pondered secretly in his heart, and then thought of something, "No, even Hong Sixiang can't fight me like this, is it possible..."

Before Ye Liuyun could finish his thought, the sound of breaking wind came from behind him.

Leng Feibai's hands turned into countless palm prints in the smoke and dust, attacking Ye Liuyun's vital points all over his body.

Ye Liuyun responded calmly, his body movements were like a ghost, making Leng Feibai's attack seem like hitting white cloth. Coupled with his grandmaster-level Qi energy, it instantly turned into 80% of the power of the attack.

"boom"

Just as Ye Liuyun waved his hand to counterattack, aiming directly at Leng Feibai's chest.

"Flame Palm·Fire Cloud Iron Bucket"

Leng Feibai roared angrily, turned his palms outward, and a tornado of fire erupted from under his body, blocking Ye Liuyun's palm.

"Um"

Ye Liuyun groaned and was blown away by the erupting flames. His entire face was covered in smoke and dirt at that moment.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai took the opportunity to concentrate his own power and fire energy in his right palm, and took the opportunity to launch, "Fire Cloud Palm - Fire Dragon Piercing the Mountain"

A blazing fire dragon roared out and rushed towards Ye Liuyun who had just stood still.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun used Liuyun Sanshou again to strike out.

Although he was in a slump, Ye Liuyun was not completely suppressed. He raised his hand and slapped out a giant hand, trying to stop Leng Feibai's fire dragon.

But the moment the fire dragon touched the giant hand, it pierced through the giant hand on the spot, and all the remaining energy hit Ye Liuyun.

"puff"

Ye Liuyun resisted with all his might. Although he was not burned by the fire, the impact still injured his internal organs and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Leng Feibai still wanted to fight again, but the spiritual energy stored in this clone was running low.

If I don't find a place to meditate and absorb spiritual energy, I'm afraid this clone will immediately turn into a talisman and dissipate between heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai was too lazy to fight anymore. He immediately took advantage of the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated to activate Fenghou Qimen and escape into the underground.

"Gen character·Earth Dragon Swimming"

By the time Ye Liuyun came to his senses, Leng Feibai had disappeared without a trace.

"He actually got away. Li Yunrui, ah Li Yunrui, who on earth did you offend?"

Ye Liuyun straightened his slightly hot face and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the Junshan Guild in the Jiangnan area is going to be in big trouble this time."

The clone escaped for a distance and emerged from a forest, panting heavily, "Ye Liuyun, truly worthy of being the one who could tear Si Gu Jian's arm off. If I hadn't run out of spiritual energy to sustain my body, I'd really like to fight him a little longer."

After saying that, the clone sat down cross-legged on a huge rock, practicing his mental method to absorb the remaining spiritual energy in the air to stabilize his body.

After his body stabilized, the clone immediately passed on the information about the fight with Ye Liuyun to everyone including the original body.

Leng Feibai's real body watched every move of Ye Liuyun in his mind, his eyes full of interest.

"Among the four great masters, Ye Liuyun has the highest talent. After being beaten by Wu Zhu, he comprehended the Liuyun Sanshou technique and achieved the status of Grand Master."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he immediately sent a voice message to several clones, giving them orders, "Everyone, be careful! The Junshan Society will be destroyed. Besides Li Yunrui, the one who will be most affected is Ye Liuyun. After all, that guy's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation all depend on the Junshan Society! If possible, team up and kill Ye Liuyun!"

As soon as these words fell, several clones began to sound their receipts. At the same time, the clone in Xinyang also delivered the news.

"I have obtained Li Yunrui's memories!"

The clone said, "But she doesn't have many memories of the lower-level members of the Junshan Society. Most of the remaining memories are of the higher-level members of the Junshan Society."

Leng Feibai raised his eyebrows after hearing this, his eyes flashing with helplessness as he asked, "How many high-ranking officials in Qing can be killed?"

"There are only about five of them, including the Second Priest of the Qing Temple, Master Sanshi, and people like Duke Kangguo and Marquis Ye from Kyoto. The rest are the Qin family from the military, the old lady of the Ming family, Ming Qingda, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, and those great masters. There's either no need to move these people, or if we do, they'll ruin our chances of conquering Dadong Mountain."

Listening to the clone's words, Leng Feibai also sighed and said, "How much does Li Yunrui know about those guys in the middle and lower levels?"

"A dozen or so!"

The clone checked Leng Feibai's memory and continued to transmit, "These people are spread all over the Qing Kingdom. They are all core members of certain families or local officials. The worst one is the lord of a county!"

Leng Feibai's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and then he said, "Are there any members of the Junshan Society in Danzhou?"

"She doesn't remember it. But we can't be absolutely sure. After all, Li Yunrui manages the lower-level members of the Junshan Society in a pretty much laissez-faire manner."

Leng Feibai stopped talking after listening and let his clones act freely.

"what"

The sound of yawning came from Sang Wen's bed. Leng Feibai turned his head and saw Sang Wen stretching and sitting up from the bed.

"Husband!"

Sang Wen rubbed his eyes, subconsciously hugged his arms and said, "What's wrong with me?"

"You were so sleepy that you fell asleep in the yard!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "It seems like you must have been exhausted from the journey. You slept for the entire afternoon."

Looking at Leng Feibai's appearance, Sang Wen couldn't help but blush. She stood up and walked to Leng Feibai's side, and bravely snuggled into her arms.

"Husband...I!"

Seeing Sang Wen's tangled expression, Leng Feibai raised his hand and stroked Sang Wen's back, then said, "Sang Wen, can you play another song for me?"

Listening to Leng Feibai's words, Sang Wen stood up, picked up the wooden pipa beside him, and started playing happily.

The two of them played like this from the afternoon until sunset.

During this period, Leng Feibai even asked Sang Wen for advice on how to play the pipa. Sang Wen did not hold back and taught Leng Feibai how to play the pipa step by step.

The actions of the two did not escape the notice of Old Lady Fan and Fan Ruoruo. After Old Lady Fan knew about it, she felt that her children had grown up, and she directly ordered the kitchen to send Leng Feibai and Sang Wen's dinner to their room, so they didn't need to come and eat with her.

That night, after dinner, Mrs. Fan and Fan Ruoruo returned to their room to rest.

Old Madam Fan asked with concern, "Ruoruo, you seemed to have lost your appetite just now. What's wrong?"

Fan Ruoruo came back to her senses and couldn't help but say, "I'm a little worried about my brother. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"Xian'er is a bit clever..."

Old Madam Fan said with a mixture of worry and reassurance, "Besides, he has your father and Dean Chen by his side to protect him, so Xian'er shouldn't be in any serious trouble!"

Looking at Old Lady Fan's expression, Fan Ruoruo was still a little worried and said tentatively, "Grandma, I plan to go back a little later. Brother Feibai is not with my brother now. If I go back, I can help him with some advice and have someone to discuss things with."

Listening to Fan Ruoruo's words, Old Madam Fan was about to speak when a servant suddenly shouted from outside the door, "Madam, Madam! There's a letter from Kyoto!"

As soon as these words fell, Mrs. Fan frowned and said quickly, "Ruoruo, read it to grandma."

After hearing this, Fan Ruoruo put down her chopsticks, stood up, took the book and started reading.
