fairy cage

Chapter 136
In the medicine prescription hall, in the huge quiet room, a figure appeared again, sitting cross-legged on a delicate futon, meditating silently.

This person was Yu Lie. After he visited the old beggar and was accepted as a student by the other party, he exchanged a few pleasantries and was thrown out of the prison by the other party.

At the same time, the disguised "Mei Yan" Taoist boy was also left in the prison, it seems that the old beggar has other uses for taking the other party.

Yu Lie pondered for a moment, reviewing his night activities today, and after realizing that there were not too many omissions, he raised his head with emotion in his eyes.

Yu Lie couldn't help sighing again:
"I didn't expect that a mere act of 'slaying black hands' would bring me a lot of opportunities."

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to thank that "Mei Yan" Taoist boy.If it weren't for the other party's provocation, such a coincidence would never have happened.

But Yu Lie didn't underestimate himself too much. If he hadn't been strong enough to get into the old beggar's eyes, he wouldn't have had such a chance to get it.

After thinking about it, Yu Lie's eyes were slightly delighted again, and he immediately took out the square of parchment from his sleeve pocket, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Following the instructions of the old beggar professor, Yu Lie used his fingertips to draw a "zigzag" on the surface of the parchment paper, and then immediately poured his blood into it.

Soon, the surface of the copper-yellow leather paper became slightly hot, and tadpole-like characters emerged one after another, floating and flickering on the leather paper, quite mysterious.

This scene made Yu Lie feel even more anticipation. Just this piece of parchment itself is already at least an eighth-grade blood vessel. I don't know if the skills inside it will be magical skills of a certain level.

As soon as the words appeared clearly, Yu Lie began to read carefully.

But different from the mystical Taoism that Yu Lie envisioned, the leather book that the old beggar gave him was neither a magic spell nor a magic skill. Instead, what was recorded in the first few pages was just ordinary alchemy knowledge, or the most basic one. kind.

But after Yu Lie read it through, his fingers were drawn on the parchment, and new content appeared page after page, and his attention was completely attracted.

After a long time, he raised his head suddenly, and realized what the leather paper he had obtained, and what the "natal blood vessel" that the old beggar had mentioned earlier was what it was.

On this leather paper, the method of alchemy is recorded, from the initial identification of medicinal materials, to kneading pills, to watching the furnace burn... all kinds of experience and records, especially the perspective according to No.1. A batch of pills that are useful for cultivation.

This thing is another practice note, more precisely, it is a alchemy note!
Moreover, in the notes, there are often at least two kinds of comments sorted out in different handwritings for one kind of alchemy knowledge.

Yu Lie was a little confused at the beginning, secretly wondering what kind of handwriting this notebook was written in, but as he visited more and more, he gradually realized that the various handwriting in the notebook was actually written by one person. .

It is the old beggar who is suspected to be the Lord of the Black Water Temple!
The several different handwritings on the leather paper are actually the various comments left by the other party in different periods, reviewing his alchemy experience over the years.

In the quiet room, Yu Lie held this thin piece of leather paper and read it quickly for more than two hours in one breath, but he still didn't go through all the contents in it, because at least there are some notes in this alchemy notebook. Two thousand pages!
There are words and pictures in it, and some of the content at the end can still move, and even make all kinds of weird sounds, which is undoubtedly clearer and more intuitive than the silver mirror for the introduction of alchemy in Yu Lie's hand.

Originally, Yu Lie wanted to continue reading in one go, but the words and pictures on the parchment were maintained by consuming his energy and blood, which was not small.

In addition, his brain power was also amazing, and his mind was so distracted that he stopped in time when he turned rough to the end.

Rubbing this poor-looking piece of leather paper, the joy in Yu Lie's eyes became more and more intense.

After tidying up, he simply stood up from the futon, paced around the quiet room vigorously, and said happily:

"Mister, don't lie to me!"

Although the old beggar didn't teach Yu Lie half of the secrets of exercises, he imprinted most of his life's alchemy experience, in every detail, on the leather paper, and the price of the contents was already higher than Yu Lie's current ones. The classics of exercises that I have read.

Although the content of the notes is currently only limited to the eighth rank, the alchemy content about the eighth rank only involves the refining of blood vessel pills at the end of the eighth rank.

But if it is placed in the hands of Yu Lie's original family, it can directly become one of the family's bottom-line inheritance!

Because the content in it can be said to be full of secrets that have not been mentioned in the Taoist scriptures. It is straightforward and direct, and it does not shy away from anything. experience summary.

More importantly, this note is filled with a large number of high-level comments from the perspective of officials.

The content related to the breakthrough mentioned in passing, is a good thing that is hard to change for an ordinary eighth-rank small family!

After being overjoyed, Yu Lie looked down at the leather paper on the table again, with a look of anticipation in his eyes

There are two reasons for this. One is that although the content he can see so far is only more than 2000 pages, Yu Lie suspects that when he breaks through to the realm of the eighth-rank Taoist, possesses true qi, or refines the natal blood vessel , there may be more content that can emerge from the above.

The second is that the old beggar kept saying that he only accepted Yu Lie as a student in name, but in fact he gave such a precious gift.

From this point of view, the other party's so-called possibility of accepting Yu as a disciple is not just a lie.It is even possible that the old beggar has been "persuaded" by Yu Lie and regards Yu Lie as a future disciple.

If Yu Lie hadn't been included in the list of disciples, how could the other party have given away such things that involved the true inheritance of cultivation so easily?
Unless the old beggar is like the bitter wood in Greenwood Town, he did not expect death at all, so he would let his practice notes fall into the hands of others.

But in the leather paper given by the old beggar, in addition to the detailed records and summaries, the content is also from easy to difficult, with clear layers, obviously carefully selected, not notes for his own use.

Suddenly, this also made Yu Lie, who was overjoyed, secretly think: "The old man has prepared this inheritance note in advance... Could it be that what Dao Tong 'Mei Yan' said is not just a rumor?"

He frowned deeply.

Taoists value inheritance, and they often value inheritance more than blood relatives.It is also for this reason that occasionally someone in the mountain and sea world will dig out the caves of their predecessors in the wild, obtain a lineage of inheritance, and then soar into the sky.

But cultivators are also a group of people who pursue longevity, and their purpose is to enjoy immortality themselves. They are not like ordinary people at all. When the time comes, they start to think about future affairs and inheritance.

Only those Taoists who are on the verge of death, or who are near death and have no possibility of breakthrough, will carefully concoct the inheritance.

"If that's the case, it makes sense. Otherwise, why would the old man let go of my jokes in front of the old man without even going through a few trials..."

Realizing this, the joy in Yu Lie's heart suddenly faded a lot.

He looked at the leather paper on the table again, and there was a little more sadness in his eyes.

I just got a teacher, Yu Lie didn't want to have a relationship with him.And if the other party can continue to live, he can still get a lot of protection from the old man.

Feeling a little sad, Yu Lie suppressed these miscellaneous thoughts.

He is still just a Taoist boy now, not to mention that it is about the life and death of seventh-rank Taoist officials, even if it is about the last eighth-rank Taoist, it is not something he can think too much about at present.

Since it was a coincidence that he broke the matter and informed the old man, the old man will naturally arrange the rest of the matter properly.

After all, the other party is very likely to be the seventh-rank Taoist official who established Heishui Town single-handedly. He has lived for more than a hundred years at least, so it must be ginger or old spicy!
After calming his mind, Yu Lie rested in the quiet room of the Yaofangtang for a while, and then continued to devote himself to trying to figure out the alchemy notes.

When he plunged into it again, the sky outside the quiet room was actually already bright.

And within a few cups of tea time, all the Taoist boys from the Yaofangtang came to work on duty, and some Lao Hutou and others respectfully asked Yu Lie to arrange things.

This was discussed the day before. Yesterday's work was just a slap in the face, but today it is necessary to carry out the operation and layout of the entire Medicine Prescription Hall. Undoubtedly, more and more meticulous things need to be done.

But Yu Liexin got the inheritance of alchemy, so naturally he didn't bother to care about common things.

For practitioners, after all, it is still possible to judge the level of "mana", and mana is the foundation.

So he casually ordered a few words, let the old Hutou and Luobotou grab a handful each, and then sent them away.

For the next few days, Yu Lie spent his time poring over his notes in the quiet room.

In just five or six days, he was like a ball of cotton, trying his best to absorb the experience in the alchemy notes, and his level of alchemy improved a lot immediately.

It wasn't until seven days had passed that Yu Lie went out for another afternoon, telling outsiders that he was not dead, and that he would compare alchemy skills with the Taoist boys in the Yaofangtang as promised.

It's a pity that in the first seven days, no one really dared to come to Yu Lie and challenge him.

This made Yu Lie slightly disappointed. He originally planned to take this opportunity to test the skills he had just learned from the parchment.

Seeing that there was no one there, Yu Lie simply made another reward with a specific amount, hung it in the medicine prescription hall, and encouraged everyone, then hurriedly entered the quiet room to practice and ponder.

time flies.

Another round of seven days passed, and Yu Lie went out again.

This time, finally there was an experienced Daotong in the Medicine Prescription Hall, who came to Yu Lie respectfully and asked him for advice.

Yu Lie was delighted by this, and immediately had someone serve him with good wine and good food, and let the other party choose the content of "asking" by themselves.

After holding a "little meeting" with great fanfare in the Medicine Prescription Hall, maybe Yu Lie's alchemy skills are still a little weak, or maybe he is the Taoist boy who dares to challenge first, and he is indeed a powerful person with two brushes.

Yu Lie won and lost, but he didn't crush the audience as the carrot and the others expected.

While summing up his experience thoughtfully, he found those Taoist boys, asked them one by one for advice, and then waved his hand, asking the other party to get promoted and raise their salary. Grandly took out the spirit stone from his own pocket, no matter the winner or loser, everyone was rewarded with one.

Seeing that Yu Lie was really keeping his word, everyone in the Yaofangtang's eyes instantly became fiery.Some Taoist boys who had been looking forward to showing themselves were eager to move.

Such a scene was exactly what Yu Lie wanted to see.

Another time has passed.

As the challenge started again, Yu Lie simply fixed the matter, took the title of "On Dan Xiaohui", and stipulated that there would be one competition every seven days and one competition every ten days.

Except for a few of his confidantes, all the positions in the Yaofangtang are conducted in the form of competition, but it is not a simple win or loss, and they will be laid off and returned to work, which is more close to the elimination system at the end.

During this period, Yu Lie himself convinced all the Taoist boys in the Yaofangtang after only three rounds of "asking for advice".

After three real competitions, he no longer played in person, but acted as a high-ranking spectator and referee, just watching the progress of Taoist boys in alchemy skills.

At this time, he has already taken the position of the Hall Master of the Medicine Prescription Hall firmly, which is convincing, even the people in the next door are also convinced by this!

While studying alchemy skills in full swing, for the Taoist boys in the Yaofangtang, there are two things that deserve their attention.

One is that the originally scheduled meritorious deeds reward meeting in the town was not held as scheduled, but was delayed, and was postponed until at least one month later.

The second is that Mei Yan, who was suspected of uttering harsh words before, and several other old folks from the Medicine Prescription Hall, all disappeared after a month of retreat, making everyone suspect that the other three were dead, but Danfang and Zhenzi , No one came to ask questions.

Regarding these two things, Yu Lie knew a little in his heart.

If his guess is correct, both the first and the second are related to his new teacher.

It was the old beggar who was already in the town, and started to act and plan. Naturally, Mei Yan and the others were taken by the way and arranged with reasonable methods and means.

However, the water here is a bit deep, and it is beyond Yu Lie's grasp for the time being. He doesn't know what the other party's intention is.

What Yu Lie is most concerned about now is the research on natal blood vessels, and he has already started!

Yu Lie discovered that the natal blood vessel seems to have a lot to do with his natal spells...
