Immortal Formula

   Chapter 496 Refiner

   Yang Zhen guessed right, Gu Yan was indeed a little angry, she was a little disappointed with these people in Cumulus Peak, these people are too timid and too irresponsible! His eyes are only on one Dongyang County, no matter what kind of scheming he uses, no matter how ingenious he is, he will never be able to escape this circle. That's why they ignored their former friendship and acted according to their interests.

   However, the so-called scheming has always been useful only in a small circle. In the face of real strength, no matter how clever and scheming, it will be mercilessly crushed into powder! Gu Yan lowered her eyebrows slightly, and after the two sides had returned the salute, she turned around without looking back, and said in her heart: You gave up this opportunity. From now on, I am afraid that the two sides will meet like strangers.

She turned her head and looked at Han Tingdong coldly, "This must be the patriarch of Han. I wonder what your Excellency was talking about before I arrived?" The map was cast, and Han Tingdong's blow was broken with a raise of his hand, which had already taken the lead. Now that he was talking aggressively, Han Tingdong's momentum was already weakened, and he could not refute it.

Tan Ziyun, who was sitting on the side, coughed lightly and said, "Everyone is just discussing whether Bixia Sect is worth sending so many people to Beijing after Fairy Gu was trapped in Lancang Valley. Since Fairy Gu is out of danger, it is naturally a happy event. , There are some small disputes, and it is not enough, why hurt the peace for this?"

   He casually said a few words, trying to understate the incident just now, but Gu Yan didn't take his word for it, and said lightly: "If that's the case, what was the result of the negotiation?"

Tan Ziyun did not understand her indifferent tone, and said to himself: "Everyone thinks that the Bixia Sect's strength has been damaged since the battle of Lancang Valley. Fairy Gu just came out of the valley, and I don't know if she is injured. As the period is approaching, everyone has made suggestions to the county governor, it is better to be safe and make some adjustments..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a little unsustainable. There were waves of murderous intent slapping him on the opposite side, and then he suddenly found the woman in front of him, although she was just standing in Tsing Yi. In the courtyard, but the whole person is full of vigor, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, it seems that he can tear himself to pieces in the blink of an eye!

   He suddenly came over at this time, and stood up in shock, pointed at Gu Yan, and exclaimed: "You... you actually advanced?"

When Gu Yan came to Cangwu, she was not completely unknown, at least she had a little reputation in Wei Kingdom. Everyone knows that she has only formed pills for a few years, and she was able to advance to the middle stage of pill formation so quickly. Rare genius!

Gu Yan smiled slightly, and her murderous aura suddenly subsided again. Since she was in the middle stage of forming an elixir, she was able to take it as she liked. Sword, but after forming the pill, it became more introverted, like the deep and unfathomable ancient well, and now after advancing to the rank again, it has become able to send and withdraw, and it is free at will. Although Han Tingdong is also a cultivator who has reached the peak in the mid-formation stage, and is only one foot away from entering the late stage of formation, but Gu Yan standing here, with his powerful spiritual sense, was able to suppress him without any resistance.

Yue Yi, who had been sitting in the middle without speaking, finally said, "Since Gu Xianzi has returned, I think there is no need to discuss the previous matter, everyone can leave, and still count according to the previous name, on the tenth day of next month. Gather here, go to Yunyang City!"

   The governor of the county, Yue Yi, made the final decision, and everyone had no objection, got up and agreed, and then dispersed. Hu Zhiyuan followed the Tan and Han families. When he walked out the door, he looked back at Gu Yan with a lingering fear. In the Lancang Valley that day, Gu Yan waved his hand and used the flag gate to stop him, and he had no power to fight back. , left a very deep impression in his heart, and now she has successfully returned from the promotion, and she wants her own life, isn't it just a matter of fingertips? He followed Han Tingdong and Tan Ziyun closely and did not dare to leave.

   Gu Yan didn't have the heart to care about such a small role. In fact, the outcome of this matter was doomed from the moment she successfully returned from the valley. No matter what kind of battle of words you do, in the end, you still have to speak with strength. If Gu Yan did not go out of the valley, or if he returned from the valley but was seriously injured, then if the Cumulus Peak did not make any effort to stand firm, the outcome could be imagined.

But now she has successfully advanced and returned, and Bi Zhenzhen has also recovered from her injury. The strength of Bixiazong is better than before, and Gu Yan has won the hearts of the monks in Lancang Valley. Even if the Han and Tan families want to move against the current, for the sake of For the sake of the overall situation of Dongyang County, Yue Yi will also mediate from it, forcibly suppressing them and preventing them from disagreeing.

  Nan Jizi and Yang Zhen went away sadly. In their hearts, the situation of Dongyang County in the future seems to be more complicated than the previous three-legged confrontation. The sudden emergence of the Bixia Sect must have added a great variable to the future changes in the situation.

  Gu Yan didn't think so much. Now, she no longer focused on Dongyang County, but looked at Yunyang City, even the entire Yunze, and the entire Cangwu Continent.

   When Gu Yan and others returned to Bixiazong Mountain Gate, they brought an uninvited guest by their side, it was Ji Quan. After meeting Gu Yan, he decided to join the Bixia Sect and become an elder of the outer sect. Anyway, his disciples also died, the sect also disbanded, and he was alone and had nothing to worry about. He originally wanted to be a loose cultivator, proud of the mountains and forests, but he had offended the two major forces in Dongyang County, and he was quite fond of Cumulus Cloud Peak. If there are bad words, Cumyun Peak will not shelter him, thinking about going to the southeast, but when Gu Yan came back at this time, he felt that he had the same temperament as Gu Yan, and simply asked to join the Bixia Sect.

   This request surprised the entire Bixia Sect. Back then, Fairy Biling started her sect as a female cultivator. The entire Bixia sect was dominated by female cultivators. Although there were also male cultivators, they only accounted for a small part of it. Over the years, very few male cultivators were able to do so. There is no outer sect elder who has formed a pill and is promoted to elders. Therefore, Gan Biwu also thought a lot about this matter.

Gu Yan sees it very openly. When Bixia Sect walks out of the southeast and enters Cangwu Continent, he must have a mind that embraces all rivers. It is not a big deal to accept an elder from the outer door. As long as Ji Quan is sincere, then it is his responsibility. Welfare, and what he should do, are naturally indispensable. Moreover, a cultivator like him with no sect and no sect is also the object of competition for various small and medium sects. If you go to any family in the southeast, you can't run away from the position of an elder.

Besides, she likes Ji Quan's temperament very much, which reminds her of the kind of arrogance when she returned to Xuhai. Anyway, there are not many male disciples in Bixia Sect. What's wrong with adding one, it can be regarded as a member of Bixia Sect in the future. Zhi, after all, they can't always accept female disciples, can they?

So under the negotiation between the head and the three elders, Ji Quan joined the Bixia Sect as the elder of the outer sect, even if it was decided, in the future he can practice the exercises of the Bixia Sect, and then he can officially become the Bixia Sect A branch of the sect recruited disciples and established a mountain gate.

  Ji Quan was also very happy. Although he was an alchemist, he had a rough temperament. Thinking of the people from Cumulus Peak, he still said with some hatred: "Those people in Cumulus Peak really forgot their origins, and I don't even think about who rescued them in Lancang Valley?"

Gu Yan shook her head and said, "It's no wonder they, as a sect, they can't act out of their own heart and morality. Besides, they haven't done anything wrong, but..." She sighed slightly, "The vision is too small. It's over." She only said this sentence, and then she didn't say anything, even if the Cumulus Peak incident is over, the two sects in the future will only be in an ordinary relationship.

   Next, everyone began to discuss the matter of going to Yunyang City, which is also the most important event of Bixia Sect right now. According to the previous discussion, Bixia Sect can go to four people to participate in the competition held in Yunyang City. Among these four people, there are regulations that no more than half of the cultivators at the stage of formation of the core should go to two people, so the cultivator of the stage of formation of core should also go to two people. Those young disciples showed hope in their eyes.

   But Gu Yan has a plan in his heart, and everyone agrees when he says it. Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong are both leaders of the younger generation, and this time they went to Lancang Valley together, and they performed quite well. Moreover, these two people are the leading figures among the original disciples of Danxia Sect and Bixia Sect, so everyone has no objection.

  The rest, Gu Yan naturally went, and then there was one more candidate. She is interested in Bi Zhenzhen, but it is difficult to say it face to face, so as not to hurt the face of Lan Xiang and Ji Quan.

However, Ji Quan pondered for a moment. He had just joined the Bixia Sect, and he had not spoken before, and then he said: "I have not been a long time since I formed Dan, and I have never participated in the competition before, but Fairy Bi has had it twice. Experience is a very suitable candidate.”

  Lan Xiang also said: "My intention is the same, but Brother Ji can also go to Beijing with me, and I will sit in Bixia Sect to defend against foreign enemies."

Gu Yan also thinks Lan Xiang's proposal is good. Although it is said that only four people can participate, there is no limit to the number of people who can go to Yunyang City. If you bring more people, you will always be prepared. Lan Xiang is careful and let her and Gan Biwu go. It is most suitable to stay here and teach the disciples.

   She turned her head and looked at Bi Zhenzhen, "What do you think?"

Bi Zhenzhen also knew that this was the best choice. After she left the spiritual garden, she received Gu Yan's elixir as a gift to remove the poisonous eggs from her body and her internal injuries. In the middle of the year, nourished by the terrain and spiritual veins, her cultivation base is more beneficial. Among the three, her cultivation base is actually the highest, so she can be regarded as a good candidate. She was not pretentious, Yingying stood up and said, "Since everyone recommends Zhenzhen, then it must not be entrusted."

  Gu Yan smiled and said, "Then this matter is settled, but before that, I have one more thing to do."

   Lan Xiang said oddly, "What's the matter?"

Gu Yan saw the expressions of anticipation on the faces of Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong, and said with a smile: "I said when I was in Lancang Valley that when I return, I will open the furnace and refine the utensils for each builder. The disciples of Ji Chenggong all make a magic weapon of the middle grade or above!"

   As soon as she said these words, the surroundings suddenly cheered. The Bixia Sect was a grassroots creation, and everything was simple. When the elders were discussing, they did not prohibit the disciples from watching. Except for those who had not entered the school for a long time, more than half of the disciples in the Bixia Sect were here. After hearing it, they were all filled with joy.

You must know that since the Bixia Sect withered hundreds of years ago due to an accident, these years have been quite sad. Like Lin Zitong, as the master's beloved disciple, after the foundation was established, he still couldn't find a way to take advantage of it. You can only use the old spirit tools, let alone other disciples. Back then, Wei Qing wanted a useful spirit tool, and he had to earn spirit stones by himself, and then go to the market to find it. As for the previous Danxia Sect, not to mention, it was even worse than the Bixia Sect.

This is also the reason why Cumulus Peak did not work hard to maintain the Bixia Sect. After all, such a small sect, in their opinion, is really of little value, and it is far from worth sacrificing their own sect's air transport. bet.

Seeing the disciples cheering, Gu Yan stood up with a smile, opened his hands, and said, "I know we are outsiders, we came here from the deserted places in the southeast, and those people look down on us and think we have no background. Without accumulation, it is impossible to become a trend, and people will be oppressed everywhere. But do you think that is really the case?"

   "No! No!" The disciples shouted in unison, and some male disciples spit on the ground, shouting: "Fuck it!"

Gu Yan smiled and said: "Therefore, we must at least breathe a sigh of relief in our hearts. Since we have come to Cangwu, our minds should not be tied to this small Dongyang County. Fighting for the front, temporary weakness is not scary, but you should always have high aspirations in your heart, otherwise, how can you compete with Honghu?"

   She raised her arms high for a long time, and all the disciples cheered with her voice for a long time.

   From the second day, Gu Yan closed down for a month, in order to make a finished product before the big competition. It is undoubtedly an extravagant hope that she wants to refine dozens or hundreds of instruments at once. With her current level of refining, it is rare to be able to have half of the finished products. Therefore, after discussing with Gan Biwu, Elder Yang and others, it was decided to refine only seventeen pieces, which will be jointly decided and distributed by the Sect Master and the elders. Among them, two pieces were specially refined for Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong. , In order for them to be able to familiarize themselves with their own magic tools as soon as possible before entering the Beijing competition, Gu Yan also specially recruited them to tailor them for their requirements for magic tools.

   The two women were rather flattered, thinking that they had worked so hard to earn spirit stones in the past, but couldn't find a suitable magic weapon. Only then did I feel the benefit of having a Refiner in the sect.

In addition, Gu Yan also specially refined a spiritual tool for Moyan. She has steadily improved to the fourth and fifth levels of Qi refining. Gu Yan does not want her to build the foundation too early, but she still needs to build the foundation firmly first. Now there is a magic weapon in hand that can be used for at least a few years.

   During this month, she devoted herself to seclusion in the spiritual garden, and only occasionally came out to exchange opinions with Zhu Ying and Lin Zitong, and then went in again.

This time, she took out all the materials that were useless to herself in the sea of ​​​​guidance. Gan Biwu also contributed the accumulation of Bixia Sect over the years, and then she Open Jiuyi Ding, open the furnace and refiner.

Gu Yan has also had many experience in refining tools before. The nine-leaf lotus pedestal that was destroyed in the return to the ruins was also refined by herself using purple flame crystal and the magic sword, but at her level, for the time being It can only reach the level of refining magic tools. But this time, with the previous experience and the abundance of materials, I am afraid that no matter which sect or family, it will not generously come up with so many materials for the refiner to squander.

Fortunately, these things are all Gu Yan's own, and they are easy to get. Many of them are taken from the cave of the monster in Lancang Valley. Naturally, she will not blink, but Gan Biwu is watching. After arriving, I still regretted it for a long time. After a while, I looked at Gu Yan with strange eyes. It made Gu Yan feel like a prodigal.

   She used the Jiuyi Cauldron to refine the utensils, and she could do whatever she wanted. Compared with the previous time, she could get twice the result with half the effort. After only twenty-seven days, she was done and announced her exit, which was three days less than previously expected.

When Gu Yan opened the stone room and invited everyone to enter, they saw seventeen instruments of different shapes lying quietly on the stone platform in the center. Some were brilliant and dazzling. The others are bleak, deep and reserved, but they look extraordinary. Gu Yan picked up a blue short sword that was not too long, stuffed it into Lin Zitong's hand, and said with a smile, "How about you?"

Lin Zitong happily took it over. The light blue sword body, the blade was only **** narrow, crystal clear and calm, and there seemed to be a clear water flowing slowly inside. She held the hilt in her hand and could sense it inside. The aura is connected with one's own soul and is in harmony with each other.

   Gu Yan said with a smile: "This sword is tempered with the spirit stone at the bottom of the Daxue Mountain, supplemented by the blood of the blue phoenix bird, which is just right for the characteristics of your water spirit root, this sword can be called 'Qing Ming'!"

Lin Zitong nodded happily, Gu Yan put a lot of thought into this sword, and it was one of the works she was extremely satisfied with refining. The quality of the instruments used by many of the foundation-building elders was even better, so it was no wonder that Lin Zitong would be so happy.

What was given to Zhu Ying is a pair of jade rings carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, which can be divided and closed. When closed, there are two cloud lights. It is a magic weapon for both offense and defense. It can also be used as a magic weapon when flying. Wonderful thinking, let Zhu Ying put it down. When Gu Yan was refining, she had discussed with her many times, and it took a lot of thought to refine this magic weapon. Bi Zhenzhen said with a smile, "Why don't you come and thank me?"

   Zhu Yingying bowed down, "Thank you for your trouble!"

   Gu Yan helped her up with a smile, and gave the remaining fifteen pieces to Gan Biwu and Lan Xiang, who would then distribute them. It turned out that apart from Zhu Ying, none of the disciples of Danxia's sect had been able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, and naturally they were not within the scope of this assignment.

   After all these instruments are refined, the days of going to Beijing will not be far away. According to the previous plan, in addition to the four people who were originally going to participate in the competition, Ji Quan, Zhang Danian, Elder Yang and others all accompanied them. There were more than a dozen people in the team, and the rest stayed in the sect. .

  Wei Qing didn't get a place to enter Beijing, and he looked rather gloomy. As for Wei Zhaoyi, who had already gone to retreat and cultivated, he was going to attack the foundation in the past few years, but he had no time to participate in this matter.

Seeing his unhappiness, Lin Zitong comforted him and said, "You just succeeded in building a foundation, stay in the mountains well, stabilize your realm, and what's the hurry? Besides, the magic tools refined this time are not also yours. ?"

   Wei Qing said with some annoyance: "That's what you said, but you all went out to stand on your own. I'm still cuddled in the mountains, and it feels like I'm being pulled further and further away by you."

Gu Yan just came over, heard what they said, and smiled: "When we first met, we were just teenagers wandering on the grass in the back mountain, all carefree, but now they all have their own pursuits, I believe that one day, we will all be able to find our own way and our own pursuit!"

  Lin Zitong and Wei Qing both clenched their fists excitedly, and it felt like they were back in the afternoon when the sun was in the west.

  Gu Yan said in his heart: Who said that when you are young, you can't have high ambitions? Those who underestimate the Bixia Sect should let them take a look at the scene in front of them!

   Then she laughed dumbly, as if she had become very old?

   After everyone got the magic weapon, they spent a few days to try to make the magic weapon fit the body and mind of the person. Then the day of departure was approaching. Gu Yan gathered everyone to prepare for the departure to Beijing. Gan Biwu took the disciples who stayed behind and sent them off at the mountain gate, and the two sides parted ways. Gu Yan bowed slightly to Gan Biwu, "It's hard work for the head of the family."

  Gan Biwu also returned the salute, "The journey to Yunyang is difficult and dangerous, you must take care of yourself first, and you can ignore the rest."

  Gu Yan nodded slightly, then she nodded to the person who was left behind, then called out Jin Yun Dian, and went up with Bi Zhenzhen, Ji Quan, Lin Zitong and others, a group of more than ten people, went towards Dongyang County.

   At the county governor's office in Dongyang County, there was already a huge cloud boat waiting, and Yue Yi was standing in front. Every thirty years, she was the day when the governors who were stationed in other places returned to Beijing to report their duties. He will walk with the hundreds of people behind him. These more than 100 monks are also the essence of the local monks in Dongyang County. They will strive for the size of the resources that the entire Yunze country has invested in Dongyang County in the next 30 years, and strive for the luck of Dongyang County in the next 30 years.

  Gu Yan is neither too early nor too late. Seeing that the two peak masters of Cumulus Peak are here, Yang Zhen is also there, but Nan Xianzi is not in the team. As for the Han and Tan families, the head of the family leads the team in person, and there are many unseen faces in the team. I think they are all elites in the family. The three sects account for more than half of the monks in Dongyang County. She nodded with the two Chi Clan's Peak Masters, and it was a friendly greeting from both sides.

   After a while, the monks from the thirteen sects of Dongyang County all arrived one after another. Yue Yi didn’t say much. He stood in front of Yunzhou and shouted, “Let’s go!”

   Everyone connected their flying instruments to the cloud boat, and the huge cloud boat flew forward in a mighty manner. Gu Yan watched the clouds passing by quickly, and she couldn't help but have some reverie in her heart, not to see old friends, but to imagine what kind of big scene would this go?
