"Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you. The mystery is very complicated. Just follow the master and learn it carefully."
"Oh, that's it." Li Huowang pretended to be thinking, but was thinking about something else.
The pill that Dan Yangzi gave him was obviously useful, which also meant that the laws of this world were completely different from his own world.
If he wanted to deal with Dan Yangzi, he needed to know more about this strange world.
"The cultivators in novels? Not like that. How could there be cultivators who use people to make pills? How could there be cultivators who enslave mortals to help them become immortals?"
"And according to convention, shouldn't he give me a foundation-building method for ordinary immortals? Why didn't he give me one?"
As Li Huowang learned more about this place, he felt that this Taoist temple was getting weirder and weirder. It was completely different from the cultivators in his concept in the past.
"By the way, Junior Brother Xuanyang, I'll teach you a lesson. You'd better prepare everything properly before Master opens his mouth."
"For example, yesterday's elixir. Because of your hysterical attack, you missed the time. If you send the medicine before the day after tomorrow, wouldn't it be equivalent to apologizing to Master?"
"Although Master is moody, as long as you make him happy, you will naturally benefit."
"Yesterday's elixir?" Li Huowang was stunned.
"Yes, what, did you forget? What did Master ask you to send yesterday?"
"Bai...Bai Lingmiao." Li Huowang's pupils shrank to a very small size in an instant. So many things happened before, but this matter is not over yet.
If he didn't think of a way before the day after tomorrow, the albino girl would be like all the previous medicines, and be drooped into a pulp! Li Huowang didn't know how he got back to his residence. He lay on his stone bed. The golden anklet with red thread pressed on his chest like a red-hot iron block, urging him to come up with a solution.
But now Dan Yangzi and Li Huowang are much more powerful than each other, and the whole Taoist temple is full of his people.
The lessons learned from the previous brothers who died also show that it is useless to escape blindly.
Just tossing and turning, the whole night passed.
On the eve of the morning class, Li Huowang put on his clothes and walked out of the cave.
He wanted to go to the alchemy room to see if there were any other solutions there.
As soon as he came out with the oil lamp, a face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks emerged from the darkness, which scared Li Huowang. It was the face of Gou Wa.
"Hehehe, Senior Brother Li, it's nothing. I just saw that you didn't come to the material room all day yesterday. I was really worried, so I came to see you."
"Is Junior Sister Bai okay?" Li Huowang took a step back and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. You personally said that Junior Sister Bai would take charge of the material room. Who dares not to listen? Hehehe, Senior Brother Li is awesome. Look, you haven't taken anyone away since you took charge of the material room."
Li Huowang felt very annoyed when he heard Gou Wa say this. He used an oil lamp to block this guy and strode out.
When Li Huowang came to the alchemy room, he found that some boys who got up early had already started to clean the furnace and the floor with linen cloth.
One boy even stood in the stone urn, holding a pig hair brush, vigorously brushing the remaining meat on the stone wall.
As a disciple of Dan Yangzi, no one dared to say anything when he entered the alchemy room.
Li Huowang pretended to walk around casually, and began to observe the surroundings carefully.
The entire alchemy room was very simple. In addition to the huge black furnace that occupied one-third of the space, there was only a stone urn and a stone stick that Dan Yangzi used to hit people.
Not to mention books on alchemy, there wasn't even a single painting on the wall, and the whole room was very empty, without any shelter.
"What are you reading?" A familiar but creepy voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Li Huowang turned around and saluted with both hands. "Master."
"What are you reading?"
Li Huowang thought quickly for a second and immediately thought of a reason. "I admire you for your alchemy skills, and I wonder when I can reach that level."
Dan Yangzi was very satisfied with Li Huowang's change of attitude. It seemed that the little guy had figured it out.
He put his hands behind his back and turned around the black alchemy furnace. "It's good to be motivated, but it's not that I won't teach you, but the way of external alchemy is not that simple."
"Ordinary elixirs are easy to make, but if you want to become an immortal through alchemy, you must refine both external and internal elixirs. I have been refining them until now and am about to reach the Mahayana stage, but it took me a lot of effort."
Dan Yangzi's face showed a hint of pride and excitement, as if he was enjoying the life of an immortal after becoming an immortal.
"Master...are you going to become an immortal soon?"
As soon as Li Huowang said this, the expression on Dan Yangzi's face was retracted, "It's not that simple to become an immortal, and the road is long, but I will definitely become an immortal. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
Dan Yangzi's expression became a little excited. "Because the method of becoming an immortal is written in the heavenly book of Lord Laojun, and it was delivered to me personally by Lord Laojun. Who else in the world can become an immortal? He said I can become an immortal. I can definitely become an immortal!"
"Lord Laojun? Who is this? One of the three gods?" Li Huowang didn't quite understand this mythological description.
Although he didn't understand it at all, Li Huowang still flattered: "Master, what you said is very true. You will definitely become an immortal and live as long as the heaven and the earth!"
Dan Yangzi was obviously very happy to hear this, and his ugly face was full of smiles.
"Hahaha, good, good, since you want to learn alchemy, then I will teach you a simple formula for moistening blood pills first, you write it down. 12 liang of red dan, half a jin of cyperus, 2 liang and 4 qian of actinolite..."
Although he had an unexpected gain for no reason, Li Huowang certainly wouldn't say no.
He hurriedly wanted to write it down with pen and ink, but looking around, there was no pen and ink in the entire formula.
In a hurry, he found a piece of charcoal from under the furnace and simply wrote it down on the hem of his Taoist robe.
"... Start the furnace at 3:30 pm, just in time for bathing; use your eyes to shine, your breath to blow, your spirit to fumigate, and slowly nourish it with a slow fire. Open the furnace at 4:40 pm."
"Take this recipe and practice it slowly. I will see how talented you are first."
Li Huowang threw away the charcoal in his hand and held it in front of Dan Yangzi with both hands. "Master, do you think I have missed anything?"
But when he saw the hem full of charcoal in front of him, Dan Yangzi's face, which was just smiling, suddenly turned cloudy.
He raised his right foot and kicked Li Huowang out. After hitting the furnace with a buzzing sound, he fell heavily to the ground.
Dan Yangzi's face was ashen, and he left with his hands behind his back, cursing, leaving Li Huowang hanging there.
When the emotional anger in his heart gradually dissipated, Li Huowang felt that this matter was very strange. He didn't do anything, why did he suddenly have such an attitude?
Li Huowang looked down at the pill recipe in his hand and thought. Although his handwriting was ugly, it was obviously still recognizable.
Suddenly Li Huowang thought of something. He looked around the alchemy room without any calligraphy and paintings, and then remembered that no one had any scriptures during the morning class.
A sudden thought popped up in Li Huowang's mind, "Could it be that this bald head is illiterate and can't read?"
