Chapter 389 Ancient Pills, Used by Modern People

In the fields of formation, alchemy, forging, etc., the differences in styles are obvious in different eras.

Li Changxiao was also lucky to get the formation record of an old ancestor of the Qianqing Sect in the Endless Forest. Combining various factors, he could see the profound principles hidden in it.

This is why Li Changxiao gave up the road paved with bluestone slabs and chose this secluded path.

When entering this green field, the road is extremely difficult to walk, and it is necessary to open up while moving forward.

For this reason, Zhang Mo was captured and used as cheap labor. The flower finger of the Dayan Hua Sect was used to open up the wasteland and plow out roads.

In fact, it was Li Changxiao who was trying to break this formation, or to tear open a corner of this formation.

Judging from the results, it was obviously successful.

The bluestone road appeared again in this green field, which is proof. Then he walked along the bluestone road, passed the steep mountains, and the endless woodlands.

He was guided to this place little by little.

"Danta!"

The black pagoda surrounded by tall trees was like an old man with half-opened eyes, quietly watching the visitor.

The heavy sense of countless years of history pressed down on everyone, making them look solemn and feel an invisible pressure.

At the entrance of the black pagoda, there was a plaque with the words "Danta" written on it. The font used was the font of ancient times, but it was still somewhat similar to the characters used today, so it was not difficult to understand. Even Zhao Qiu and Wang Huang could read it roughly.

Pushing open the door of the Danta that had been sealed for a long time, Li Changxiao blew gently and blew the dust out of the tower. The surrounding trees were in trouble. The dust in the tower was carried by the breeze and flew out of the window and fell on the trees, as if it had just been fished out of the soil.

Zhang Mo couldn't help but ask Li Changxiao. She saw along the way that almost every household, whether it was the disciples' sleeping quarters or the elders' residences, had an alchemy furnace. Why was there a special alchemy tower here, and it was also regarded as an important place in the sect?

This question is not difficult. Li Changxiao told her that it was related to the management system of the Eryuan Sect.

The alchemy matter, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a few factors.

First, materials, second, flames, third, alchemy furnaces, and fourth, alchemy environment.

When the elixir reaches a certain level, the role of the latter three will become more and more important. The formation of a precious elixir is extremely demanding.

High-level elixirs cannot be made by any alchemy furnace, so the existence of the alchemy tower is very necessary.

Just like the inner disciples issuing tasks, if the inner disciples want to enter the tower to make elixirs, they need to curry favor with the elders.

With the elders as a guarantor, the inner disciples can enter the alchemy tower and refine the elixirs they need.

If the inner disciples cannot make a more difficult pill by themselves, they need to ask the elders for help with generous rewards.

This pill tower itself is a device for suppressing luck, a place where the power of pills and popularity are concentrated.

It will naturally be regarded as the top priority by the sect.

In addition, the higher the level of the pill, the more confidential the recipe must be, even the inner disciples and even the elders will not disclose it.

It also involves the core secrets of the sect.

With all these factors combined, the value of this pill tower can be imagined.

"At least a considerable part of the elders' income comes from the inner disciples." Li Chang smiled and said.

The inner disciples of the Eryuan Sect are already the top elites in the entire cultivation world.

But in the Eryuan Sect, they have to be humble and fear the elders like a tiger, and dare not offend them.

There are also many people who give money and women.

I don't know how to evaluate it.

Zhang Mo showed a look of understanding. Dayan Huazong inevitably had such signs. On weekdays, many elders were arrogant in the sect. It was not uncommon for disciples to curry favor with elders.

But it was relatively mild, because she, the great elder, was not greedy for money, and the elders who were one level lower than them naturally restrained themselves and did not dare to do too much.

In fact, while walking in the ruins, Li Changxiao was gradually understanding the management system of the Eryuan Sect.

As his cultivation level increased, he picked up a lot of dream fragments left over from ancient times in this relic.

There were some small fragments from ancient times engraved on it.

He found that it seemed that the inner disciples of the top sects were still short of spirit stones, and even more so.

"Look at this alchemy furnace."

Li Changxiao pointed to the alchemy furnace on the right and said.

The three of them gathered around and looked at the direction of Li Changxiao's finger.

There was a line of small characters on it, which read "Seven Souls Illusion Pill, Elder Zhang Rude."

Li Changxiao explained: "This alchemy furnace was made by an inner disciple who hired an elder to help him refine it."

"Seven Souls Illusion Pill is used to deal with ghost cultivators. After taking it, ghost cultivators within a hundred miles dare not approach it. This disciple should be preparing to enter a secret realm full of ghosts and monsters."

"It takes a full three hundred and ninety days to refine this pill. Do you know how much it will cost?"

Li Changxiao looked at the few people with a smile.

Zhao Qiu asked: "Is it three hundred and ninety days, guarding this furnace day and night?"

Li Changxiao said with a smile: "No need, a powerful alchemist can produce a pill in just one hundred days."

"But... it is still charged according to three hundred and ninety days, and it is charged by the hour."

"That is to say, in order to obtain this pill, the disciple first needs to spend a huge amount of energy to collect all the medicinal materials, then spend a lot of spirit stones to manage the relationship with the elders, and finally... spend a huge amount of spirit stones to pay for the work."

"This is not over yet. If it fails, everything will be invalid. If it succeeds, if you are lucky enough to get a few more pills, you can still only get one, and the elders will accept the rest."

"Perhaps this busy work, a hundred years of time will pass, and the spirit stones thrown out are estimated as a small mountain."

Li Changxiao said slowly.

Zhang Mo and others all took a breath of cold air. Cultivation is such a difficult thing.

It is conceivable that for those who started from scratch and relied on themselves to reach the peak of cultivation step by step, how bumpy the road is.

It is also conceivable...

After the spiritual energy is exhausted, how many Dao hearts will be shattered.

"These elders are too dark, aren't they?" Wang Huang couldn't help but complain.

"It's more than just black, it's simply blood-sucking." Zhao Qiu added.

Immediately, she looked at Zhang Mo, "Elder, you are not the same, are you..."

Zhang Mo asked back: "I can't use up my salary alone, why do I have to do this?"

Li Changxiao laughed and said, "But there is nothing we can do about it. The management system of the Eryuan Sect is centered on the elders and the inner disciples are auxiliary."

"If something really happens, the elders will be the first to go. If they don't make some money from the disciples and rely only on their own salaries, their cultivation will be too slow."

"In fact, this is also a behavior tacitly approved by the sect. With interests and interests, it is difficult to separate the inner disciples and the elders."

These things were deduced by Li Changxiao through some details, combined with dream perception, picking up some lost dreams, and a little bit.

So the position of elder is enough to make people jealous.

The number of elders opened every year will be fought to the death.

Li Changxiao opened the alchemy furnace.

There was a black pill lying quietly inside.

This is the Seven Souls Illusion Pill that the predecessor had gone through so much trouble to obtain.

Now...

it is just a smear of black mud.
