Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 327 - 251: Alchemy_3

But it doesn’t seem to be a horse, only looks like a horse, with a misplaced horn...

Tie Dan flipped through the Daoist Collection, oh, Guan Shu, can ward off fire, then according to the saying at Luofu Mountain, this Zhang Tang obtained it in the formation as a Divine Beast. But how...

"This is granted by my master, the Nanhua Immortal Lord; the Taiyin Eight Gates, Jingfeng Cloud Seal transformed into an avatar, using this demon body to ward off disaster and navigate calamity. It’s an extraordinary skill of turning misfortune into fortune."

Tie Dan suddenly turned back, only to see Wang Zheng standing at the bottom of the stone steps, bowing,

"Many thanks, Junior Brother, for aiding us and helping the senior brothers traverse this deadly calamity."

"What, claiming you came here specifically to die because you can’t win?"

Tie Dan was momentarily puzzled, this person was no longer the short figure he was just moments ago, instead he restored a normal stature of seven feet tall. It seemed that the small man’s appearance earlier was also some form of Daoist Skill transformation.

"Haha, training in the mountains is only about adapting to circumstances in calamity, as long as you get through it, any way is possible to overcome."

Wang Zheng wasn’t angry, explaining,

"Our Taiyi Palace also belongs to the Ancient Daoist Sect, even if the Dao is achieved and one reaches Nascent Soul, one must still experience Five Elements and Six Epochs, pass through Nine Calamities and Eight Passes, which takes no less than three hundred and sixty years to enter the sect.

But if one fights for the sect, seizing Dao and fortune, and is killed in the calamity, it is also considered meritorious without fault, allowing for soldier disintegration and direct entry into the Inner Sect, receiving the True Inheritor.

Actually, we just secretly helped the spiritual dog escape, and the three senior brothers had already taken the opportunity to obtain the treasure of Xingxuan, the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, breaking through the gate with their Dao Bodies.

What’s left here are just three avatars, utilizing the Taiyin Cloud Seal, attached to those guarding the demon body, transforming into Dao bodies, dependent on the Primordial Spirit, merely serving as substitute puppets confronting the calamity.

Now, thanks to Junior Brother’s assistance, having witnessed the prowess of the Sword Sect, we’ve traversed another life-threatening ordeal, it truly has been enlightening and deeply instructive.

This time the master sect’s task is closed, karma entirely dispelled, allowing us to return to the mountains and retreat into quiet cultivation, focusing on Divinity Transformation.

How could we not thank Junior Brother for the assistance."

Oh, damn, taking shortcuts, playing tricks, huh... these guys really calculated meticulously...

Tie Dan lay on the ground and watched him,

"Now you’ve come over voluntarily, thinking there’s a chance? Or do you want me to get up and deal you another sword strike?"

"Alas, I originally intended to express sincerity like the bright moon..."

Wang Zheng smiled, making a cut across his chest, opening up his heart and abdomen, pointing at the meridians and organs scorched and burned by Dingmao Fire Devouring,

"Fellow Daoist, your sword power is extraordinary, your Daoist Skill profound, just now Senior Brother Ye tried to dissolve the sword power, but the avatar was already broken by it, let alone Senior Brother Zhang, who even after refining his avatar, was defeated by your sword.

Among our fellow brothers, my cultivation is the lowest, the Dao Skill incomplete, naturally I need not be too obsessed with victory or defeat, but Junior Brother, at such a young age, having such means, your future is immeasurable. Why not make things clear, form a good bond, and earn some good karma."

Then Wang Zheng extracted a piece of his inner organs and handed it to Tie Dan’s mouth,

"This avatar of mine is originally formed from Qi Tu, a divine avian with colorful plumage, commanding Five Qi, inherently male and female, creating Yin and Yang. Eating it doesn’t cause ulcers, internal injuries of chaotic energy can be cured without medicine. You can eat it."

Tie Dan fell silent, still judging whether the other party was speaking truthfully or with false intent.

Wang Zheng didn’t mind, pointed at the horse’s head,

"Guan Shu of Senior Brother Zhang, Qiao Fish of Senior Brother Ye, are all rare treasures and Heavenly Materials, if you don’t want to eat them raw, throw these corpses into the pot, boil them with the secret elixir prescription of Chaoyang Valley, you can refine the life-extending Immortal Pill, and enjoy this millennium of immortality."

Tie Dan, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but frown, did he miss something, wasn’t the Immortal Pill supposed to require...

"No need, other elixir prescriptions may be falsified, but for this one, Immortal Ling Qiong must remember it clearly, recite it backwards fluently, not daring to alter a single word."

Wang Zheng seemed to notice what Tie Dan was thinking, smiled, took out the four Elixir Record Jade Scrolls, and placed them on the stone steps,

"If Junior Brother doesn’t believe it, you can look for yourself. I just memorized these elixir prescriptions, and suddenly realized. Junior Brother, do you understand the principles of Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Guide in Alchemy Dao?

The main medicine is called the Monarch, assisting the Monarch is called the Minister, the corresponding Minister is called the Guide. The primary disease is treated with the essential medicine, thus it is called the Monarch. The Monarch’s role is of few elements but substantial weight, relying on it as the mainstay. Assisting the Monarch becomes the Minister, of somewhat more elements, slightly lighter, supporting what the Monarch cannot reach. The corresponding Minister is called the Guide, which can fluctuate in number, and is lighter in weight, serving as the pathfinder and guide. This is the principle of Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Guide.

Qi Tu, Guan Shu, Qiao Fish, all are Primordial Strange Beasts. Although they are said to guard the mountain and protect the formation, in fact, they have long been trapped in the formation, being precisely prepared as Elixir Materials. Refining them, with the Monarch, Minister, Assistant, and Guide present, a mere millennium of creation, is more than enough to seize, no need for other materials.

Yet, to subdue these Divine Beasts, it still requires quite some effort. Not only to subjugate demons and suppress the demon, but also to prepare the Pill Furnace and make the Elixir, especially this elixir formula is indeed against the heavens, capable of seizing creation for a millennium, truly reaching the ultimate level, a bit too much or too little, and it cannot be completed.

So I also realized, actually, today was a gathering set by various Immortal Lords and Taoist Ancestors, each contributing a portion to assemble a full game. Thus, we disciples, who have received teachings, must be willing to enter the furnace, face calamity, and vie for survival.

As long as we can defeat the heroes, capture the Divine Beasts, obtain the Calculus, make the Immortal Pill, and continue the Dao transmission of the Xingxuan Sect, we can clear the trial. As for the losers, haha, naturally becoming fuel for this furnace, offering it to heaven and earth, in exchange for millennia of longevity.

We three brothers originally expected one or two of us would die, today being able to retreat whole is already receiving favor from our elders, plus the help of a Fellow Daoist wielding a sword, it truly is luck, with nothing more to ask for.

Moreover, this pill seizes the creation of heaven and earth, changes destiny against heavenly will, inevitably inviting resentment from the Heavenly Dao, leaving millennium karma difficult to dissipate. Such a big trouble, I don’t want it upon myself, better let Junior Brother have it."

Tie Dan remained silent for a moment.

Is he lying...

But, it doesn’t seem like it...

But if he’s not lying, then the one lying is...

"Bang!"

Then spirit wind brushed the face, and Wang Zheng exploded.

An azure-eyed White Wolf reverted to its original form, riding on the wind, tunneled and arrived, shattering Wang Zheng’s Dao Body with one blow.

Is it? Well, after all, it’s a millennium demon beast, can’t possibly be powerless. It did say, chickens are still beatable...

Ling Biao lowered its head, standing before Tie Dan, looking down at the young man, yet showed an ashamed expression, but in its azure-blue beast eyes, from time to time a fierce and cold killing intent flickered.

Tie Dan coldly stared at it,

"What, planning to hog it all for yourself?"

Ling Biao whimpered, took a half step back from his glare, yet still licked its tongue, fell to the ground, thumping as it kowtowed to Tie Dan three times,

"Thank, thank you, but the master said, only one can live, to refine this pill! Only one can live!"

"Wuwuwu, sorry, sorry... I still want to live, I really... still want to live wahwahwah!"

Tie Dan, unable to move, could only sigh,

"It’s really been cultivated into a human..."

Then Ling Biao opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing Tie Dan and the bloody residues whole, clasping them in its mouth, then swirling in spirit wind once more, silently floating down to the observatory, its jaws released.

And threw Tie Dan into the boiling Pill Furnace.
