The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 32 Guiyuan Sect Danfeng

Not long after, the two brothers emerged from the Sword Abyss, one holding a spear and the other carrying a longbow. They seemed quite satisfied.

According to him, the spear in the palace is called the Dragon-Tip Spear. It was formed from a twelfth-order dragon spirit. This thing was not made by a weapon refiner, but was refined by heaven and earth. Once it is touched by heaven and earth, it can be called a spiritual object of heaven and earth.

Gong Yu's longbow is called the Dinghan Bow. In addition to being able to use spirit arrows crafted by weapon refiners, it can also automatically generate an ice arrow after being infused with spiritual energy.

Gong Yu, being a water-elemental root, is somewhat lacking in offensive and defensive capabilities, but this bow largely compensates for his shortcomings, and it is of the same grade as the sword in Cheng Jiu's hand.

(Heavenly and earthly treasures are not considered in terms of rank.)

Originally, they came to the Dragon Abyss Sect to visit their friends, but the three of them came here to find their destined weapons.

Moreover, according to the sect leader, after returning, Li Weixin was taken into seclusion by his master for special training, and he probably won't be able to come out for more than ten years.

The three followed their master back to the sect, and the two Venerable Lords intended for them to go directly to the Four Arts Peak to study.

Our first stop was Medicine Peak. The peak master, Elder Yao, is the oldest among all the peak masters, and his current eldest disciple is An Qi.

The Four Arts Peak Master is different from other Peak Masters, whose mandatory requirement is to reach the Dao Integration stage.

However, as the face of the five major sects, the four arts elders of each sect are required to be of the ninth rank. But it should be understood that these four arts are easy to learn but difficult to master, and rely purely on talent.

Since the peak master of Medicine Peak took over Medicine Peak, he has only trained four ninth-grade alchemists. The first two were his eldest and second disciples.

However, since he had only recently taken over Medicine Peak and it was not yet time for him to step down, he had not considered that one of his two disciples should take over his position.

By the time he wanted his apprentice to take over the position, his eldest and second apprentices had already ascended to heaven.

His three disciples were the personal disciples of other peak masters. He couldn't very well ask them to accept his position as peak master!

He had taught his last disciple with great enthusiasm, but unfortunately, the disciple was unfilial and refused to accept his position as peak master no matter what.

Those who can become ninth-grade alchemists are the cream of the crop among the cream of the crop. For many years, no suitable person has been found to inherit his position. He has already broken through to the Dao Integration Realm and is even older than the Sword Peak Master.

His current hope lies with his eldest disciple, An Qi, a Nascent Soul cultivator who, at a young age, is already a seventh-grade alchemist. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit his mantle.

Therefore, An Qi is also the senior disciple of Danfeng.

Danfeng is divided into three areas. One of them is Gongshi Hall, where you can sell your pills for points, and then use those points to exchange for herbs.

The second is the medicinal herb garden, which covers a considerable area and includes both public and private gardens.

The third is the alchemy area, which is built on a ninth-grade fire vein. Some disciples who do not have fire spiritual roots can use the spiritual fire on the fire vein to refine pills.

Using alchemy also costs points, which is one of the sources of income for Medicine Peak.

In addition, there was a beginner's hall where elders taught alchemy. The three of them then walked to the peak master's hall.

What catches the eye is not the magnificent hall, but the large stone slab at the front with many taboos written on it.

"They are not allowed to refine pills together." The three were very curious about the above.

“Previously, some disciples were gathered together refining pills when one of their pill furnaces exploded, causing the other disciples’ furnaces to explode as well. As a result, they were almost killed, but fortunately, an elder happened to be passing by at the time.”

"Compression of the elixir is prohibited."

"Previously, a disciple compressed the elixir too hard, which resulted in it exploding."

"The current Heavenly Thunder Spears are made based on this principle," Senior Brother Anqi explained from the side.

"Water-based alchemy is prohibited."

"This is also related to your master, Junior Sister Jiu."

"?" Cheng Jiu was somewhat surprised.

"The Venerable Qingxu is the only ninth-grade alchemist with an ice spirit root in all these years."

His cold quenching technique was exquisite.

So some people tried to learn from him and used the water refining method. But somehow the medicinal properties clashed, and the furnace exploded. Although the disciple was eventually saved, he was crippled.

Many other disciples also had the idea to try it, so it was inscribed on this stele.

"Fireworks are prohibited from being set off using alchemy furnaces." The beginning was relatively proper, but it became increasingly inappropriate later on.

"It is forbidden to feed spirit beasts or people pills whose effects you do not even know."

"It is forbidden to fail to take proper protective measures when refining poison pills."

"..."

There were too many to list. After reading through them all, I've mostly seen the eccentricities of Senior Brother Danfeng and Senior Sister Danfeng.

"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened! Third Senior Sister was poisoned and fainted while opening her elixir!" A junior disciple suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the senior brother, trying to run away.

"No, no, senior brother, something bad has happened! Sixth senior brother has blown up the mountain again. He's at Fire Vein Number Ninety-Three today, and all the furnaces after Fire Vein Number Ninety-Three can't be turned on."

Many of the pills refined by my senior brothers and sisters have been ruined. Currently, they're beating up my sixth senior brother, who asked me to call for my eldest senior brother to save him; he's about to be beaten to death.

"Senior Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"What is it now?" Anqi, who was already entangled by two people, looked at the people running over with a headache.

"The people from the rental office are here. Eighteenth Senior Brother, he left his elixir at the rental office again. It was eaten by the spirit beast there and is currently jumping around."

At this point, the disciple whispered again, "Ancestor Wuyun has also arrived, and this time it is his descendants who will suffer."

"..." The three of them stammered, looking at An Qi who had a headache, and said very considerately, "Senior Brother An, why don't you go and handle your affairs? We can go find Elder Yao ourselves."

An Qi covered his head. He was supposed to be the twenty-third disciple, but because of his talent in alchemy, his master promoted him to the senior disciple of Medicine Peak.

But these senior brothers and sisters were really unreliable; after he became the senior brother, he was always cleaning up their messes.

(Yao Feng did not follow the established disciple sequence because Yao Lao had lived for so long that he himself could not quite remember how many disciples he had. After making a few mistakes in calling them by the wrong name, he chose to do so.)

"Thank you for your understanding, senior brothers and sisters. If you have any questions, you can ask me through the communication. I have to go and take care of some things now." He then hurriedly left with his three disciples.

Having gained experience from the previous three peaks, the three of them went inside.

The peak master of Medicine Peak looked at the three of them and smiled, "How did you feel about your tour of Medicine Peak?"

"A place of outstanding natural beauty and talent".

"A place blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

Gong Yu glanced at the two people, hesitated for a long time, and then uttered three words: "That's good."

The Peak Master of Medicine Peak didn't mind. He took out two cards from his pocket and handed them to the three of them. "Each of you has 1 points in here. You have all reached the Golden Core stage."

Unlike the peaks you used to be on, at Medicine Peak, you have to earn what you need to learn yourself.

You can refine elixirs and exchange them for points at the Tribute Hall to study in the Medicine Peak Library.

For the basics, you can go to the Elementary School to learn. If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties in life at Yaofeng, you can ask your senior brother An.

"And you, do you want to go to Zhenfeng to study first, or stay here with your brother?" His gaze fell on Gong Yu, who had a water elemental root and couldn't refine pills.

Gong Yu hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "I still want to stay with my brother."

“Alright, once your Senior Brother An Qi arrives, he will take you to your dormitories.” Peak Master Yao Feng understood.

As for eating, those in the Golden Core stage have already mastered the art of fasting, and basically do not eat.

Of course, if they have any cravings, they can ask Senior Brother Anqi.

After receiving the guests and giving instructions, the Peak Master went off to attend to his duties; there were many matters to attend to at the Medicine Peak, and he wasn't always available.

The three sat down to enjoy tea. The tea had a delicate and lingering fragrance, and one could feel the spiritual energy flowing through their bodies as they drank it.

It was excellent tea, but unfortunately, none of the three of them really liked tea. Drinking it felt a bit like chewing on a peony – a rather unpleasant experience.

The three waited a long time before Senior Brother An Qi finally arrived. Judging from his busy appearance, there was a great deal of work to be done at Medicine Peak.

The three were given a small courtyard house with green bricks and tiles, occupying its own plot of land, surrounded by a row of smaller courtyards. In addition to three bedrooms, there was a kitchen, a cultivation room with futons, and an alchemy room. There was also a fire source connected to the earth inside.

There is a half-acre planting area in the courtyard, and a huge peach tree by the wall, which gives people a feeling of "picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and leisurely gazing at the southern mountains".

Looking at the courtyards of the other senior brothers and sisters next door, I found that they were all filled with spiritual herbs.

After all, not all alchemists are rich, and if they can't refine anything in the early stages, it can be very expensive.

Therefore, they would choose to plant a small medicinal garden in their own yard, which contained commonly used medicinal herbs to help them recover their health.

"If you want to plant medicinal herbs later, you can go to Gongshi Hall and exchange them with points," Senior Brother Anqi gently suggested.

After saying goodbye and parting ways, the three of them began to look around the courtyard. They entered the main room and saw a jade slip on the table containing the most basic alchemy techniques and a complete guide to spiritual herbs. This could be copied by multiple people, so it seemed to be a gift given to everyone who entered the Pill Peak.

The three exchanged glances, and Cheng Jiu was the first to make a copy. It contained the most basic alchemy techniques, mainly involving the tempering and processing of medicinal herbs.

Then, according to the prescription, the medicinal liquid is added. One must keep a close eye on the furnace with one's spiritual sense to make adjustments. After the medicinal liquid is combined, it is refined into a pill at high temperature.

In the Xuan Tian Continent, the Dao of Alchemy is based on the number nine, and elixirs are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Top-grade pills have pill patterns on them, and an alchemist who can refine top-grade pills is essentially different from other alchemists.

Those who can refine top-grade pills are all geniuses among geniuses. When a top-grade pill is refined, not only will there be extraordinary phenomena when it is completed, but also unique pill patterns will form on the pill that belong to the individual.

That is, to put on a personal logo.

The two were very excited after reading it and couldn't wait to try alchemy.

Fortunately, the room also had earth fire. Unlike Cheng Jiu, Gong Cheng was born with a fire spirit root, so she could refine it herself without earth fire.

For safety reasons, the two separated; one refined elixirs in the kitchen, while the other worked in the alchemy room.

Cheng Jiu carefully activated the ground fire, and a bright orange-yellow light emerged from below.

Place the alchemy furnace on the fire. Wood spirit roots need to process the spiritual herbs first, while fire spirit roots can control it themselves and directly refine it into medicinal liquid. However, wood spirit roots are more refined. Although there are differences between the two, each has its own advantages.

She probed the spiritual medicine with her divine sense, carefully removing the impurities. This time, she was refining a first-grade spirit-restoring pill, which was also a fairly common pill in the cultivation world.

A total of five materials are needed: Tranquil Flower, Blue Heart Stamen, Iron Wire Leaf, Dragon Soil Root, and one type of ore, Blue Ore.

The Jingxin flower is pressed into juice, and the Lanxin stamen must be carefully peeled off, as only the very center of the flower is usable. The iron wire leaves have many long black lines of impurities, and the dragon soil root must be carefully peeled off, as its skin is somewhat toxic. If the skin gets into the flesh inside, the resulting elixir will be impurity-laden.

She was covered in sweat after finishing. She carefully placed the prepared herbs into the pill formula. The formula only listed the types of herbs, never the quantities, because everyone's alchemy habits, abilities, and spiritual roots were different. It was difficult to specify the quantity; at this point, it depended on the individual's comprehension.

It can keenly detect what is missing when the medicine is being mixed and replenish it in time.

Moreover, when refining pills, one's spiritual sense must be sensitive. In Cheng Jiu's words, one must sense that the spiritual herbs within seem to have their own personalities.

For example, Lan Xinrui, you must be very gentle when you interact with her. She seems very timid. If you are even slightly forceful, she will evaporate into thin air. As for Long Tugen, you must be a bit forceful, otherwise she will not melt at all.

Each medicinal herb must be refined with the appropriate care. Moreover, since this was her first time refining pills, she was extremely careful and cautious in this regard.

She was soon covered in sweat. After calming the herbs, she slowly paired them up according to their personalities to ease the tension.

It's best to react the Blue Heart Stamen with the Calm Heart Flower first. If you mix it with the Dragon Soil Root, it will be ruined in a second because the Blue Heart Stamen will evaporate and disappear on its own.

Iron cleaver leaves and dragon soil roots must never be together, as they will fight and explode. Iron cleaver leaves react with calming flowers, blue ore acts as a buffer, and finally, dragon soil roots are added.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she carefully controlled the formation of the medicinal liquid.

Suddenly, an explosion occurred next door, jolting her awake. Her hand trembled, and the medicine began to become unstable.

She calmed herself down and continued to soothe the patient. Fortunately, the medicine stabilized under her comforting touch and slowly took shape.

Seven pills appeared at the bottom of the alchemy furnace: three high-grade, two medium-grade, and two low-grade.

Her first attempt at refining pills was a perfect success. She truly was a genius. After admiring her work, she thought of the explosion she had just witnessed.

The house next door was already filled with smoke, and when she went over to take a look, she saw that it had been badly burned.

If it weren't for the protective robes, Miyagi would probably be injured by now, though his hair was also tied up and standing on end.

"Haha... Brother, brother, look at you now, you look like a half-cooked chicken soaring into the sky..." As he spoke, Gong Yu took out a recording jade slip, deciding to record his brother's rare disheveled state.

Miyagi narrowed his eyes, giving his unfortunate younger brother a dangerous look. It seemed like it was time to teach his brother a lesson!

"Ayu, it's been a long time since we've had a proper conversation about our feelings," Gongcheng said gently.

But since they were twins, even if Gong Yu was simple-minded, he couldn't possibly misunderstand his brother's meaning. He quickly used the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow to rush out: "Brother, no need, I think our relationship is very good!"

"Stop!" Gongcheng also used Golden Crow Transformation to chase after them, and the two of them dashed around the courtyard like two streaks of light.

The sound of Gong Yu begging for mercy could also be heard mixed in.

"Brother, don't be angry, I was wrong!"

"You're wrong. What did you do wrong? Stop right there."

"No way! You'll hit me if I stop. I'm not stupid."

"hehe!"

Cheng Jiu hid in the alchemy room watching the two fight. Sometimes, Senior Brother Gong Yu always had a way of dealing with his brother's reckless behavior.

Miyagi-senpai never spoiled him either; this is probably the most beautiful brotherly bond between the two.
