Immortal Formula

   Chapter 469 Cold Poison

Lan Xiang said: "It's not just Yun Zeguo, it is said that after the Dao and Demon War, the nine major factions settled the Central Plains, and under the auspices of the Yuxu Palace, the nine states and sixteen countries of the Cangwu Continent were established. The rules, after so many years, still haven't changed. According to what Taishang Donghua said back then, this is to make the entire Cangwu Continent more enterprising and urgent, dedicated to cultivation, and less foreign affairs, so as not to Being caught up by future generations will lead to the end of destroying people. And after all, the resources of the cultivation world are limited, which can also reduce disputes."

Gu Yan couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart. Although she didn't know what the people who laid down the rules thought, she could probably imagine that after putting down those high-sounding words, it was nothing more than the word "power". .

The nine major factions of the year undoubtedly stood at the highest core of power, but they could not rule the entire Cangwu Continent by their strength alone, so they were divided into sixteen states of Kyushu, and let the aristocratic families at that time be the first of the spire. Layer 2 core. Under their rule, those small and medium sects collided and competed with each other, while the nine major sects could stand in a high and dominant position, detached from them, watching their disputes, and when the situation changed, they would intervene to mediate , so that the situation in the entire Cangwu Continent is within their controllable range.

In this way, it is not difficult to imagine why the Yuanying cultivators have appeared over the years, but no one has ever been able to shake the position of the nine major sects on the Cangwu Continent, because no matter how the ups and downs of those sects rise and fall, the root cause has always been controlled in the nine major sects. In the hands of the great faction, they watched the people below fight from the top, no matter what the fight was, it was always in the circle they drew, and no one could really touch their majesty.

  Gu Yan sighed lightly. Although their method has been practiced for thousands of years, after all, no system can last for a long time, and now it is finally showing its decline. At least in this age when the world of immortality is dying, the nine major factions cannot guarantee that there will be so many talents to suppress the entire Cangwu Continent, but the monks underneath are constantly rising, like the Wei family in the southeast. Clan, also began to dare to march into the Central Plains with dissent. Although in Gu Yan's opinion, the Wei family's spirit is too big, and he himself cannot afford his own ambitions, but this means that the rule of the nine major factions of Cangwu is not as monolithic as before. Begin to slowly reveal its gap. She has traveled all the way in Yunze, and she can probably see the situation in the Xiuxian world. She can see the leopard, and you can imagine that the royal family of Yunze is probably no longer able to control all the factions in the country, and can only control it with power. This is probably the harbinger of troubled times.

  Gu Yan shook her head and drove all these complicated thoughts out of her mind. What does this concern herself? As a loose cultivator, what she pursues is longevity and the Great Way. These things should be left to those who are willing to worry about it.

  Lan Xiang saw Gu Yan lost in thought, and said strangely: "What's the matter with you?"

  Gu Yan smiled, "Thinking of some things, I have a little feeling." She walked up to Bi Zhenzhen and said, "If Sect Master Bi doesn't mind, can I give you a test of the true essence?"

  Bi Zhenzhen was quite refreshing, "Senior is willing to help, I can't ask for it." Then he stretched out a white wrist as white as snow.

   There was a tall girl standing beside her, and she said worriedly, "Master..." Bi Zhenzhen said, "Fairy Gu was invited by Senior Lan. If there is anything else you can't believe, don't say anything more."

Gu Yan took a careful look at this tall girl. Bi Zhenzhen had more than ten disciples, and only this girl was by her side. In terms of cultivation, it was also the highest among all of them. She was already at the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and was close to breaking through. It's only one step away from the end. There are also two disciples in the early stage of foundation building, all outside the hall, and the rest are teenagers in the qi refining stage. It seems that Bi Zhenzhen is right. This sect is really withering. If it wasn't for a cultivator like Bi Zhenzhen who was holding the facade, it would probably have been annexed by the surrounding factions. They would not allow Danxia Sect to occupy such a cave.

She put her finger lightly on Bi Zhenzhen's wrist, let out a wisp of her infuriating qi, and roamed all the meridians in her body. With a light "huh" sound, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

Lan Xiang said: "You also think something is abnormal. The cold poison in her body is deeply hidden in the meridians and cannot be dissipated for a long time. Now it has begun to spread." She tapped her hand on her forehead and said, "I am conceited. He's an alchemist, and he's not healing people once or twice, this is something I've never seen before."

Gu Yan frowned slightly, she quietly let go of her chaotic space, and then let out a trace of spiritual energy from the space, and suddenly felt a great rebound force coming from her wrist, Gu Yan was caught off guard, The fingers were snapped open. And Bi Zhenzhen quickly withdrew his hand and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

   She looked at Gu Yan apologetically, "Just now, I was so presumptuous, my wrist suddenly hurt like a knife, I couldn't help it..."

  Gu Yan shook his hand, "It doesn't matter. Let me ask you one thing, after you started to get cold poison, is the situation not so serious?"

Bi Zhenzhen nodded, "At first, I just felt a little ailment, and I didn't care. Later, I felt that there was a cold lingering in my body, and I began to take medicine pills to remove the cold poison, but it didn't work, and it became more and more serious. Now as long as you meditate and refine your qi, you will feel the pain in your body like a knife, and the cold air will travel around your body, as if you are going to freeze."

Gu Yan pondered and said: "I can probably guess some, but it still needs to be verified, so let me treat your injury first. You can endure the pain." She reached into the Qiankun bag and took out There was a red-red bead only the size of the belly of the thumb. Quietly stopped in her palm, emitting a clear luster.

   This is the Fire Spirit Orb she got from that monster in the underground palace of Meridian Valley. The fire spirit bead was born with the essence of fire, and it is the purest fire in the world. She held the fire spirit bead with **** and hung it in the air. She drew a talisman in the air with her left hand, and then Bi Zhenzhen suddenly felt There was a trace of white gas in the room.

Bi Zhenzhen frowned slightly, his face was a little dignified, obviously very painful, but he just gritted his teeth and endured, all the white gas gathered on the fire spirit beads, and then made a hissing sound, as if it was evaporated by the flames. Some, a layer of mist rises around, and then condenses into droplets of water on the fire spirit beads,

It went on like this for half an hour, and Gu Yan's head was also soaked with beads of sweat, and she put away the fire spirit beads and let out a long breath, "Master Bi, can you try again, is there any difference? Getting better?"

  Bi Zhenzhen tried to regulate the aura in his body, and couldn't help being overjoyed, "It's really getting better, what method did Fairy Gu use to have such a spiritual effect?"

Lan Xiang also blinked and looked at Gu Yan very curiously. She is also a well-known alchemist in the six southeastern countries. She is getting heavier and heavier, but Gu Yan has a magical effect as soon as he makes a move. Is it really a natural wisdom root?

Gu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "This also confirms what I thought, but it's not easy to heal Master Bi's injury." She hesitated before saying, "Actually, there is no cold poison in your body. , but..." She paused, as if she was considering her words, "It was possessed by a monster!"

Bi Zhenzhen was startled, stood up quickly, looked around, and said, "Fairy Gu... This is not a joke, for the past six months, I have not felt that I have been possessed by my spiritual sense. , and the disciples didn't find anything unusual about me!"

Gu Yan shook her hand, "I didn't mean that, after all, you are also a cultivator who formed a golden core. What kind of monster can still be attached to you after the soul is separated from the body? Unless it is an ancient monster, it is possible to do so. Here. I mean, your meridians are attached to the eggs of a kind of monster."

  Lan Xiang was dumbfounded when he heard this statement, "How could there be such a monster in the world?"

Gu Yan said: "Actually, this is not uncommon. There are many things that parasitize the beasts in the mortal world, and it is not uncommon among monsters. It's just that the monsters that are parasitic are usually relatively low-level, and very few. Some are parasitic on people. I once saw a monster called Baiming Chan in the classics. This monster only lays one egg at a time. Parasitic in the human body, it absorbs the essence of the human body, and when the main body is exhausted, it will grow naturally."

  Everyone who heard it couldn't help but stunned, and admired Gu Yan's erudition, "So, isn't this monster the cultivator's great enemy?"

Gu Yan smiled and said: "No, actually this kind of worm egg is extremely weak when it is just born, and ordinary monks can burn them to death by using the real fire in their bodies. I don't know how they got to Master Bimen. In the body, it can still live on your meridians, and now it has been deeply hidden in the six yang meridians, and it is difficult to get rid of it."

She turned her head and said to Lan Xiang: "If it was just discovered, I could use the fire spirit in my body to force the larva out, and then use real fire to melt it away, but now it is hidden deep in the meridians, if If you forcibly burn it with real fire, Sect Master Bi will also be seriously injured, and if you don’t get it, you have to fight it directly back to the mortal world, this method is absolutely impossible.”

  Bi Zhenzhen showed hatred on his face, and said with some hatred: "I know who is playing tricks in it, it must be the gang of Danxiadong faction!"

  Gu Yan originally wanted to ask Bi Zhenzhen how she was possessed by this kind of monster, but listening to her tone, it seemed to be related to the internal affairs of her sect, so it was not easy to ask for a while.

Bi Zhenzhen's eyebrows stood upright and angry for a while, and then said: "Let Fairy Gu laugh, this is actually a shameful thing in this sect, but now that the Danxia Sect has withered, there is no face to show. More than a thousand years ago, Xia Sect was also one of the leading sects in Dongyang. This sect has always been established on the basis of the study of talismans. There was a dispute, and later split into two factions. The sect remained in the mountain gate as the Danxia sect, while the other faction was called the Danxia East Sect. They occupied the eastern foot of the mountain and opened wide there. The mountain gate, which teaches the disciples, seems to have changed its name and is called the Danyang School."

Gu Yan raised her eyebrows. Originally, there were disputes among the sects. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Didn't the Patriarch of the Bixia Sect also leave because of the dispute on the Dan Dao, but because of this split a sect into two factions, this is really It's extremely rare. And the sect that split off has even changed its name, obviously it has already parted ways and will never look back.

   She pondered for a while, and said, "Gu Yan shouldn't have spoken rashly, but out of prudence, I still want to ask for advice. What was the reason for the disputes between your faction back then?"

   Bi Zhenzhen said with a wry smile: "Actually, it's just a trivial matter, it's because of the difference between inner and outer alchemy." She said these three words, and Gu Yan immediately understood.

Although she didn't know much about    the study of talismans, she also knew that there were two types of talismans, one is explicit talisman and the other is hidden talisman. Like the ones they usually draw in the air, they belong to the category of hidden symbols, which can only play an auxiliary role when casting spells, and cannot be used as a spell alone to fight the enemy.

   But the talisman is different. It is made of a special material, drawn on the talisman paper with a talisman pen, and then, just like an instrument for cultivation, it can have various effects. In today's world, there are fewer and fewer people who are good at the study of talismans. A good talisman pen is usually worth thousands of gold, and some even tens of thousands of spiritual stones are hard to find.

   Talisman paper is usually made of the fur of spirit beasts, mixed with natural spirit root and spirit grass. A good talisman can be stored for 10,000 years without rotting, and its effect will not decrease with age. As for the materials for drawing the talisman, it is the Yuan Dan and blood essence of the monster.

In ancient times, monsters were captured, and their magic pills and blood essence were used to draw talismans, but later, with the separation of human and heaven, the world of cultivating immortals became increasingly withered, and resources became more and more scarce, so someone invented With the technique of outer alchemy, the spiritual elixir made by refining is used to draw talismans, and the talismans drawn in this way are not much different in power than the previous talismans.

  In the current world of immortality, the technique of outer alchemy is very prominent. Due to the gradual shortage of resources, the number of inner alchemy talismans is gradually decreasing, and now few people use it. Gu Yan did not expect that the Danxia Sect was still a sect with a long tradition, and the ancestors were proficient in the techniques of inner alchemy.

Bi Zhenzhen said with a wry smile: "The inheritance of this sect has a long history, and it can even be traced back to before the last Dao and Demon War, but Gu Xianzi probably also knows that the current world of immortality is dying day by day, and the technique of inner alchemy has been difficult to survive. There was an ancient teaching in the door that the descendants could not practice the Waidan talisman, so it was one of the top schools in Yunze at first, and then it gradually fell into Dongyang County, losing its previous reputation, and then someone proposed to practice Waidan. However, the head of the sect at the time, my ancestor, did not agree, and a dispute slowly started, and then the elites in the sect lost six or seven out of ten. They established at the foot of the mountain here. The Danxia East Sect, later renamed the Danyang Sect, slowly established its reputation in Dongyang County, and it overwhelmed the Danxia sect to the point of being unable to lift its head."

Gu Yan sighed, "Actually, I can probably imagine why the ancestors of your sect left this admonition. After all, in today's world of immortal cultivation, it seems that the inner and outer alchemy have long been able to distinguish the superior and the inferior, but in the ancient times At that time, why did no one practice the technique of outer alchemy? This is actually one and two, and the two are one. The way of cultivating immortals, although it is against the sky, but the alchemy is ultimately a natural way. The perfect fusion of many materials, rather than simply refining the impurities in it, can finally achieve the effect of the unity of heaven and man. Speaking of which, there are also many mistakes in the popular alchemy method in the world!”

   She was reminded of the battle between the Bixia Sect's patriarch and the Danding faction, and this was how she felt. In fact, she also knows that in today's world of immortal cultivation, if you want to expand the sect, then the technique of outer alchemy is undoubtedly better than that of inner alchemy. The current prosperity of the Danxia East School is a proof. But as a cultivator who is dedicated to pursuing the Supreme Dao, she does not like this kind of violation of the law of nature. Although this can make the strength of the sect quick in the short term, it is obviously not good for the long run. It is precisely because these sects only want to survive and do not have a longer-term vision that the nine major sects can always stand tall and not fall. She smiled and brushed the broken hair from her forehead with her hand, " I've gone a little too far, Sect Master Bi, forgive me."

Bi Zhenzhen was a little stunned. Although she was extremely obsessed with the belief of Danxia's original sect, she had never thought about these things as deeply as Gu Yan. After thinking about her words in her mind, she felt that she What she said really made sense, and she couldn't help but say with admiration: "No wonder Fairy Gu can be the elder of the outer sect of Bixia Sect, and her status is still higher than that of Senior Lan, and she really has an extraordinary opinion."

  Lan Xiang looked at Gu Yan with some weird eyes, "The theory you mentioned sounds familiar to you. Could it be that in Bixia Sect, you really encountered some chance and read the scriptures left by the ancestor?"

Gu Yan smiled. She hadn't had time to talk to Lan Xiang about the alchemy on the Jiuyi Ding. When she was in the Bixia Sect, because those people were too low in cultivation, they could not understand this alchemy. So she didn't teach it, but she had known each other for a long time. If she met Lan Xiang, she would teach her the knowledge of Dan Dao engraved on the Jiuyi Cauldron. of professors.

Bi Zhenzhen looked at Gu Yan, but a strange idea suddenly came into her heart, but she hadn't announced it for a while. At this time, Gu Yan didn't want to mention it anymore. She sighed randomly, which attracted these people After a lot of associations, he said: "Let's talk about Master Bi. In fact, although you are possessed by monsters, you can't burn them with real fire, but it's not impossible to get rid of them."

The girl standing beside Bi Zhenzhen managed to find the opportunity to interject, "Then what should I do?" She has always been concerned about Master's injury, but the three seniors in front of them talked and went elsewhere, letting She was stomping her feet in a hurry but couldn't help it, and at this time she finally found a chance to interject.

   Bi Zhen gave her a strange look and asked her not to interrupt Gu Yan before saying, "Originally, I didn't have any hope of being sick, but if Senior Gu has a solution, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."

Gu Yan said: "Since it's too late to use the fire spirit to get rid of it now, then we can only fight the poison with poison!" Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's face, she said, "This kind of monster, in itself, is powerful. It's not too powerful, there are natural enemies in nature, as long as you take out a kind of insect eggs of its natural enemies, it is worth putting into your meridians, and after it devours the white cicada, then use real fire to remove the insect eggs in your body, Then the injury will heal naturally.”

When the    girl heard now, she finally heard the way to heal the wound, and her face suddenly showed joy, "Then where do you go to find this poisonous insect?"

Gu Yan spread her hands, "I don't know about this, I just read it in the classics, there is a kind of monster called the red-smelling spider, which is the natural enemy of this kind of Bai Mingchan, but I don't know where to find it. To be honest, I have traveled all over the country and outside the vast ocean, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of Bai Ming cicada. If my guess is good, there should be no such monsters in Dongyang County, right?"

  Bi Zhenzhen nodded, "I've never heard the name of this kind of monster before. If it was in this mountain, I would have heard some news."

  Gu Yan said: "That's why I want to ask Master Bimen, where did you come across this kind of monster? Generally, this kind of monster that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, where it haunts, must have something to restrain it."

Bi Zhenzhen said with a wry smile: "This is what I was going to tell the two seniors earlier. The cause of my injury is also related to the Danxia Dong faction over the mountain." things eloquently.

The two Danxia sects are both in this mountain. For the past few hundred years, they have been peaceful and peaceful, but after the Danxia East sect was renamed the Danyang sect, it seems that they received some other assistance, and the forces began to slowly start. With the expansion of the sect, it is also considered to be the leading faction in Dongyang County. Yunze has become famous in the country. Slowly, he is not willing to dormant in the east and begins to covet this cave house of the Danxia sect.

At this time, although the Danxia Sect was in decline, Bi Zhenzhen knew that he was not the kind of ZTE figure who could turn the tide, but he would not be willing to give up the sect's residence. The two sides had fought fiercely several times because of this. , When Master Bi Zhenzhen was still alive, there was a fight.

   Later, Bi Zhenzhen took over as the head of the sect, and the two sides had another dispute. Ge Yun, the head of the Danyang faction, came to the door because of this matter, and asked her to hand over the mountain gate very bluntly. Because of this, Bi Zhenzhen had no choice but to leave the Central Plains and seek help. Later, he finally found a powerful person and asked him to resolve the situation for both parties. Then Ge Yun agreed to temporarily stop working, and Bi Zhenzhen also concentrated on practicing here. A few years ago, by chance, they finally formed a golden elixir. This made all the disciples of the Danxia Sect rejoiced. In this way, the Danxia Sect would no longer be in danger of being expelled in the big competition in a few years, and they could keep the sect.

   Thank you so much. Yesterday, I just wanted the data to look better, so I called Pink. I didn’t expect that there would be ten chapters in one day. Continue to keep 6,000 words every day without slack, and ensure that the holidays are constantly updated!
