Chapter 2 Qingniu Town, Quality of Elixirs
As for the egg, it at least contains a trace of phoenix bloodline, so its potential should be quite good.
Eating it is out of the question.
Just then, a young girl skipped and hopped along the bluestone path towards them.
She wore a light blue dress with cyan and gold patterns inlaid on the gauze skirt, her skin was snow-white, and her nose was small and delicate.
She has a pair of round, bright eyes, which makes her look very innocent and cute.
I noticed the handsome young man standing under the willow tree by the roadside, grinning foolishly.
He quickly stepped forward, gently patted Zhang Xuanchen's shoulder, and said:
"Seventh Brother, what are you standing here grinning like an idiot for? I'm right in front of you and you didn't even notice me."
"Tell me the truth, have you taken a fancy to any fairy?"
She looked up at Zhang Xuanchen and raised an eyebrow, her voice clear and melodious.
This brought the boy back to his senses.
"Ahem, Ninth Sister, it's you. You know me, I'm not interested in women."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhang Xuanchen coughed twice and replied seriously.
He then sensed the other party's cultivation level and smiled encouragingly:
"Yo~ You've reached level four of Qi Refining. Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work. The future of the family depends on you."
The girl's name is Zhang Xuanli. She has three spiritual roots: water, wood, and earth. She is fourteen years old and ranks ninth in the Xuan generation.
Qi Refining Level 4, First-Rank Mid-Grade Spirit Plant Cultivator.
The Zhang family placed great importance on education and were well aware of the harm a scoundrel could cause to the family.
Therefore, a school was established at the very beginning of the clan's founding.
After their spiritual roots are tested at age seven, students must enter a school for three years to learn about their family's history and various common knowledge about cultivation.
During this period, techniques will be taught, but the focus will be on learning, and no one can miss a class.
Otherwise, you'll be punished with a ruler.
Only after the age of ten can one truly embark on the path of spiritual practice.
The clansmen were also very familiar with each other.
"Seventh Brother, don't try to fool me. I noticed it back in the Tianya Restaurant in Yunhua Immortal City."
You like women with big breasts and a perky butt, right?
Zhang Xuanli revealed a cunning look, as if to say, "You can't fool me."
Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand.
Boom!
A crisp sound rang out.
The girl covered her head, looking aggrieved.
Zhang Xuanchen ignored him, snorted, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I won't take you out to play next time."
"No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong. Seventh Brother is devoted to the Dao. No matter how beautiful a fairy is, she is nothing more than a pink skull to Seventh Brother."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded in satisfaction, feeling extremely pleased.
"Hmm~ It is good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Cultivate well, and you will have plenty of opportunities to go out in the future."
Are you going to Lingtian to see Eighth Grandfather? Hurry up, don't keep him waiting.
Eighth Grandfather Zhang Guangyao, late Foundation Establishment stage, second elder of the family, second-tier top-grade spiritual plant master, the number one farmer in the clan, unshakable.
Zhang Xuanli's spiritual root is very suitable for auxiliary cultivation of spiritual plants, which Zhang Guangyao values highly.
"oh."
Zhang Xuanli covered her head and fled as if she were running away, afraid of being hit again.
"Does it hurt that much? I didn't use any force."
Watching the girl's departing figure, Zhang Xuanchen looked at his right hand and murmured to himself.
He then walked towards his own courtyard.
He did not immediately go into seclusion.
After all, they still needed to go and verify the information about the immortal destiny that had surfaced in their minds.
So, he took out a dark blue alchemy furnace inlaid with white-gold patterns from his storage bag and began to refine the Essence Pill.
Zhang Xuanchen possesses dual spiritual roots of wind and fire, which he uses to supplement his cultivation of alchemy skills.
He is now a first-tier high-grade alchemist.
The Essence Pill is a first-grade high-quality pill that can accelerate the condensation and refinement of spiritual energy, thereby increasing the cultivation speed in the later stages of Qi Refining.
With the completion of the final step of collecting the pills, five crimson pills emitting a faint fragrance appeared in Zhang Xuanchen's hand.
"Alas, one batch exploded. The second batch produced five pills: four substandard and one good."
Even dogs wouldn't eat this kind of food!
The quality of elixirs is divided into three grades: substandard, standard, and premium.
Almost all the pills circulating in the market are substandard; genuine pills are rare and cost 30% more than substandard pills of the same grade.
As for high-quality ones, they are almost impossible to find on the market, and the same goes for first-tier pills.
The lower the quality of the pill, the more complex its medicinal effects; consuming too much of it can negatively impact the quality and foundation of one's spiritual power.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, one should avoid taking elixirs unless they are of high quality.
Throughout his cultivation journey, Zhang Xuanchen has only ever consumed one high-quality first-grade, mid-level Spirit Gathering Pill.
"Take it to the market and sell it to those independent cultivators."
Unlike members of families or sects, independent cultivators lead a nomadic life, most of them living in poverty, and are lucky to even have access to elixirs.
They wouldn't care too much.
Zhang Xuanchen put away the pills, stood up, stretched, and walked outside.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its pure light spills onto the ground like a layer of shattered silver, sparkling and glittering.
Zhang Xuanchen activated his concealment technique, flew on his sword, and transformed into a long rainbow, speeding down the mountain.
He naturally knew the village of Qingniu Town, and as for where Wang Yumei's house was, he could just ask.
As it departed, a streak of icy blue light flashed across the sky.
His face was as fair as jade, his eyebrows as sharp as swords, and his expression as cold as frost, as if he were a banished immortal in the mortal world.
It was Zhang Xuanbing.
My younger brother went out without permission, so as the older brother, I naturally had to protect him secretly!
On the other side, Zhang Xuanchen had a clear goal and went straight to the mayor's house in Qingniu Town.
I knocked on the door, but there was no response.
To ensure that the information about the immortal destiny wouldn't cause any accidents, Zhang Xuanchen disregarded politeness and, with a sweep of his divine sense, located the town mayor and went directly to his bedroom door.
"Madam, this moon-silk dress is a bit too tight! Never mind, I won't take it off, I'll just lift it up!"
"Oh dear, sir, why are you in such a hurry? If you don't take it off, it'll get dirty!"
"Ah~ Don't move your hands around."
"Hehe, you can just wash it when it gets dirty. Come here."
I have a feeling that this time, we're destined to have a child with spiritual roots...
"Master~"
……
Hearing the commotion inside the room, Zhang Xuanchen froze on the spot.
What the hell!
They're still making babies so late at night!
Are you working that hard?
She doesn't even take off her skirt, yet she's playing such elaborate games.
They are at a crucial moment right now, so let's wait and see.
If we actually manage to create a celestial seedling, we'll make a fortune.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuanchen flipped over and stood on the roof tiles, shielding his senses, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Xuanbing, who was hiding not far away, noticed this scene, and a hint of surprise appeared on his usually icy face.
But considering Chen Di's age, I felt relieved.
Fifteen years old, not young anymore.
Fifteen minutes later, with a roar from Mayor Zhang, the bedroom returned to silence, with only heavy breathing remaining.
Just as he was about to rest, a voice rang in his mind.
"Mayor Zhang, let's have a chat in the park."
Upon hearing the voice, Mayor Zhang suddenly stood up, startling the beautiful woman who was wiping her body nearby.
"Sir, what are you doing? Do you want to do it again?"
However, Mayor Zhang had no time to reply to her at that moment and quickly got dressed.
"Stay here quietly, the immortal has arrived, I'm going out for a bit."
Although he was a mortal and the town mayor, he was no stranger to immortals.
After all, there was a Qi Refining Level 3 immortal stationed in Qingniu Town to protect their safety.
The immortal's visit late at night must mean he has important business to attend to, so we must not be careless!
