Chapter 250 255, Lin Chaoying's Adventure, Opening the Furnace to Make Alchemy

When Ouyang Feng saw Huang Yaoshi who had been in seclusion for a month, he was shocked.

Huang Yaoshi pays great attention to his personal image.

Since they first met, over the years, Huang Yaoshi has always been spotless, handsome, elegant, and full of energy.

But now, his hair was messy, his face was covered with stubble, his eye sockets were dark and deep, his eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and he looked emaciated and haggard, completely different from the handsome man he used to be.

"Pharmacist, are you okay?"

Ouyang Feng quickly took out a blood bodhi and handed it to him:

"How did you get into this state? Didn't you bring a lot of Bigu Pills and Yangyuan Pills with you during your retreat?"

Huang Yaoshi took the blood bodhi, swallowed it in one gulp, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm fine, I just thought too much and spent too much energy..."

The Bigu Pill can solve the problem of three meals a day, and the Yangyuan Pill can strengthen the body and consolidate the foundation, but these two kinds of pills cannot directly replenish the heart's strength.

During his month of seclusion, his mind was always running at high speed, and he rested for only an hour a day. He kept trying to figure out the recipe for the Dragon Yuan Pill, which really took up too much of his energy and even damaged his body. Neither the Bigu Pill nor the Yangyuan Pill could take his effect, so he looked so emaciated.

Fortunately, he had entered the Dao, cultivated the innate Qi with the long-lasting wood essence, and had previously taken blood bodhi, which greatly increased his power, so he could withstand it. Otherwise, if he used his brain like this, he would have died of exhaustion in the secret room.

After eating a blood bodhi, although his body did not recover immediately, his spirit was lifted, the bloodshot in his eyes quickly dissipated, and the dark circles disappeared.

Huang Yaoshi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ouyang Feng excitedly:

"I have come up with a recipe for a pill that uses dragon essence as the main ingredient, supplemented with several rare treasures, to maximize or even multiply the spiritual power of dragon essence and eliminate its hidden beastly nature. You can also come and demonstrate it."

As he spoke, he repeated the recipe for the elixir he had thought of.

Apart from practicing martial arts, Ouyang Feng is inferior to Huang Yaoshi, the academic master, in other aspects.

However, if it is just to prove the recipe of the pill, he still has the ability to do so.

He immediately focused his mind on the "Mirror of the Total Sphere", and used the Mirror of the Total Sphere's deductive power to verify the elixir recipe described by Huang Yaoshi.

Ouyang Feng was quite satisfied with the result. Although there were some minor flaws, the direction was correct and it was generally feasible. Even though Huang Yaoshi was an extremely talented person, he had never used Dragon Essence, a unique divine treasure, to refine pills.

Being able to find the right medicinal material to match the dragon essence from so many materials by deducing from the medicinal properties of the existing materials, and creating a pill formula in the right direction, is already amazing enough. It is natural that there are some shortcomings.

Ouyang Feng did not shy away from pointing out those minor flaws.

Huang Yaoshi, who had already mastered the properties and even the reactions of various medicinal materials during his one-month retreat, only pondered for a moment and then came up with several ways to make up for the loss.

Next, Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi continued to deduce and verify, striving for perfection and foolproofness. After discussing for most of the day, they finally came up with the final plan.

Huang Yaoshi was not in good condition at the moment. Although the final plan had been worked out, he could not start refining the elixir immediately.

Ouyang Feng took out a few more blood bodhisattvas and handed them to him:

"Pharmacist, please take a few days to recuperate. When you are back to your peak state and have improved your cultivation, we will start refining the elixir."

Huang Yaoshi was not polite and took the blood bodhi and said, "After seven days, we can officially start the furnace."

Ouyang Feng nodded with a smile: "Okay, then in seven days."

Huang Yaoshi returned to his mansion to recuperate, while Ouyang Feng continued to handle government affairs and was busy until dark.

Looking at the many documents left in front of him, Ouyang Feng shook his head and sighed. Just as he was about to continue working, Lin Chaoying walked in with a tray.

"I've been busy from morning till night, let's take a break first."

She placed the tray on the table in front of Ouyang Feng and said with a smile:

"Try the ginseng and lotus seed soup I cooked."

Ouyang Feng was in charge of Xingqing Mansion for a month, so Lin Chaoying naturally accompanied him there.

When Ouyang Feng was busy dealing with state affairs, Lin Chaoying was not idle either. Every day, she took Wang Wu, Ma Yue and others to the blessed land to practice and tame flying dragons. Sometimes she would go to the palace to accompany her sister-in-law who was finally pregnant with her second child and was about to give birth. She also arranged Ouyang Feng's life in an orderly manner.

"After this busy period, when the pharmacist comes back, I'll be able to relax."

Ouyang Feng pushed aside the document in front of him, picked up the porcelain bowl, scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, savored it for a while, and was about to praise her cooking skills when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

How come this ginseng and lotus seed soup tastes like honey?

Just as he was wondering, Lin Chaoying turned behind him, gently pressed the acupuncture points on his shoulders and neck with her slender fingers, and said softly:

"I went to the palace in the afternoon to accompany my sister-in-law for a while and checked her pulse. Judging from her pulse, she should give birth within this month."

Hearing her mention this, Ouyang Feng temporarily put aside the suspicion of honey being put into the soup and said:

"My Ouyang family is small, and the eldest brother has been busy for many years. Finally, he will have a second child."

"Yeah." Lin Chaoying said quietly, "It's a pity that I'm incompetent and haven't given birth to a child for you yet."

Ouyang Feng held her hand with his backhand, "Why are you still thinking about this? I've already said it's not your problem. Besides, we are all people who practice immortality. The more powerful the creature, the harder it is to have offspring. This is the truth of heaven and earth. It's enough for the Ouyang family to have the eldest brother to have children and branches."

Lin Chaoying responded softly, and then remained silent for a while. Suddenly, she said with a smile:

"Does the soup today taste different from before?"

"Hmm..." Ouyang Feng said vaguely: "It is indeed sweeter."

"I mixed some special honey into it." Lin Chaoying said leisurely: "Today I took Wang Wu and the others to the cave to train the dragon. While they were training the dragon, I took a walk in the cave and accidentally found an interesting place."

"Oh?"

"There are many beehives in that place. There is a strange kind of bee that is the color of white jade. I call them jade bees. The honey they produce is not only extremely sweet, but also has the effect of nourishing yin and qi, and maintaining beauty."

Ouyang Feng remained calm:

"There are many spiritual creatures in the blessed land, but the area is too vast and the terrain is complex, so many of them live in hidden places. It's a great fortune for Sister Lin to encounter one."

Lin Chaoying chuckled:

"Yes, it was indeed an adventure. What's even more amazing is that near those jade beehives, I also found a stone door embedded in the cliff. Behind the stone door, there seems to be another world."

Ouyang Feng's tone remained calm:

"Sister Lin went in?"

"No." Lin Chaoying said with a smile: "I found some footprints near the stone gate. Judging from their shapes, they seem to be left by a woman. Many of the footprints are still fresh, which shows that there is someone behind the stone gate. Since there is an owner, I certainly can't trespass."

Ouyang Feng was also a little speechless.

The blessed land was so large that it was equivalent to a small country, and the terrain was extremely complex. Even if Lin Chaoying had obtained his authorization and could summon the phantom of the bronze gate to teleport at will, she would still be teleported to the vicinity of the Tomb of the Living Dead in that huge cave...

This probability is really equivalent to winning the first prize in the lottery.

Just as he was thinking about whether to introduce her to Xiao Long Nu, Lin Chaoying suddenly said:

"The soup is getting cold, drink it quickly."

"it is good."

Ouyang Feng picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the soup in big gulps.

Lin Chaoying did not talk about the cave anymore. After he finished his soup, she cleaned up the dishes and left, leaving him to continue processing government documents. Although Ouyang Feng repeatedly explained that it was not her problem to have no offspring, and even brought up the so-called "truth of heaven and earth" such as "the more powerful the creature, the harder it is to have offspring" to comfort her, Lin Chaoying still felt guilty.

Therefore, even though she had found out where his "hidden beauty" was, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it.

She was just a little curious, wondering if Yang Guifei was the one living inside that stone gate.

When Ouyang Feng finally finished dealing with today's paperwork, it was almost midnight.

He did not return to his room to rest immediately, but went to the paradise, teleported directly to the Tomb of the Living Dead, and told Xiaolongnu the news that Lin Chaoying had accidentally found the Tomb of the Living Dead.

"Ah, Grandma Ancestor found the Tomb of the Living Dead?"

Hearing this news, Xiao Long Nu was a little panicked, "Is she here to question me?"

"No. She was just wandering around in the cave and accidentally found the Tomb of the Living Dead. Besides, Lin Chaoying in my world is not the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Strictly speaking, she is not the same person as your founder, Grandma."

"I know you said that different choices and different encounters will lead to different fates and turn you into a completely different individual. But I'm still a little panicked."

"Don't panic. If you meet her, just call her sister. If she asks you why you know martial arts such as Heaven's Net Style, Beauty Boxing, and Jade Girl Heart Sutra, just tell her that I taught them all."

"This..." Xiao Long Nu was tangled up: "Lying to the Grandmother, even if it is the Grandmother from another world, is it considered as betraying the master and the ancestors?"

Ouyang Feng said with a smile:

"Long'er, you have already done something even more disrespectful to your teacher and ancestors. Why are you afraid of such a small matter?"

Xiaolongnu thought so too.

When it comes to betraying one's teacher and ancestors, could there be anything more serious than her practicing dual cultivation with Ouyang Feng?

In essence, Xiao Long Nu is a person who disregards worldly ethics. She panicked only out of respect for her ancestor.

If it weren't for the relationship between the Grandmaster and the Grandmother, whether Ouyang Feng was her master or her disciple, as long as they loved each other, she would have no scruples and would not care about the world's opinion at all.

"In fact, Long'er, you are overthinking. To my sister Lin, she doesn't even have a disciple like you. Even if you tell her that your master is Baoqin from another world, and your ancestor is Lin Chaoying from another world, she won't feel anything."

Ouyang Feng smiled and said:

"Lin Chaoying in my world and your grandmother are two people with different destinies after all. Even if you tell her your true identity, she won't mind. At most, she will be a little surprised."

Xiao Long Nu whispered: "Grandmother Grandma has a bad temper..."

Ouyang Feng said: "Our sister Lin actually has a good temper."

"Anyway, I'd better hide from her first. I can turn invisible anyway, so she can't find me easily."

"Okay. When you're no longer panicked, you can meet her again."

"Ah."

After chatting for a few more words, Ouyang Feng stood up to say goodbye. Xiao Longnu pulled his sleeve, feeling reluctant:

"Aren't you staying to practice today?"

"Your grandmother is waiting for me at home."

"Ah, why don't you go back quickly?"

Xiao Longnu hurriedly let go of his sleeve and pushed him.

Ouyang Feng smiled, left the paradise, and returned to the mansion of Xingqing Mansion in the main world.

……

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

Huang Yaoshi rested for seven days and took several blood bodhisattvas. Not only did his condition recover completely, but his skills also improved greatly.

So Ouyang Feng and he went to the alchemy room in the volcano dragon's nest in the paradise of caves and paradise, and prepared to officially start refining the elixir.

The preliminary preparations for alchemy have been completed, and more than ten kinds of auxiliary medicines needed by Huang Yaoshi have also been prepared.

Each of these more than ten kinds of auxiliary medicines is a rare treasure, and most of them are produced in the world of Journey to the West. They are the top-grade precious medicines collected by Ling Xuzi.

For example, the "Zhu Ling Xian Fruit" takes 300 years to bloom, 300 years to bear fruit, and another 300 years for the fruit to ripen. From blooming to fruiting, it takes a full 900 years, and a fruit tree only bears one fruit. Such a rare treasure is impossible to find in the ordinary world.

The Zhuling Immortal Fruit itself can be used as the main ingredient to refine an elixir that can open up the minds of ordinary animals and turn them into spirits, or enable mortals with no foundation to sense and refine the essence of heaven and earth and embark on the path of the Tao.

In addition to the Zhuling Immortal Fruit, there are also ten drops of "Guishui Cold Spring" which can be used as a solvent and to eliminate the heat and poison of the dragon essence, a "Danzhu Grass" which can eliminate the animal nature of the dragon essence, a "Shachen Divine Wood" which can greatly benefit the cultivation of the mind, and two coins of "Thousand-Year Dragon Saliva" which can enhance and amplify the spiritual effect of the dragon essence. These are all rare treasures that are only occasionally produced in the fairy mountains and treasures of the Journey to the West world. They are the bottom-line treasures that Ling Xuzi has collected and saved with great difficulty during his hundreds of years of practice. Now they have all been specifically selected by Huang Yaoshi as auxiliary medicines.

Blood Bodhi is also an auxiliary medicine.

But among the more than ten rare auxiliary medicines, Blood Bodhi can only be ranked at the bottom.

With so many rare treasures as assistants, the best plan that he had worked with Ouyang Feng to repeatedly discuss and perfect, and an alchemy furnace of extraordinary quality, Huang Yaoshi had absolute confidence that he could double the effectiveness of Dragon Yuan.

Everything is ready. All the materials, including the dragon essence, are already in Huang Yaoshi's storage talisman.

After calculating the time, before officially starting the furnace, Huang Yaoshi instructed Ouyang Feng:

"It will take seven days to make this Dragon Yuan Pill. During this time, I have to control the temperature at all times without stopping for even a moment. I also have to add materials at different times. The timing and amount of each time I add materials must be accurate to the millimeter. So I will devote all my attention to refining the pill and ignore all external affairs. I will not be able to pay attention to anything else besides refining the pill. Brother Ouyang, you must protect me and make sure no accidents interfere with me."

Ouyang Feng nodded slowly and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, I will set up the formation and take charge personally."

Huang Yaoshi asked:

"Are you sure there won't be a sudden volcanic eruption? Or a sudden earthquake or tsunami?"

Ouyang Feng said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Pharmacist. I am the Lord of the Cave Heaven. With my will to suppress it, no accidents will happen."

"So good."

Huang Yaoshi nodded with satisfaction, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Then I will start refining the elixir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he made hand seals and drew fire from the well to heat the alchemy furnace.

Ouyang Feng also stepped aside, and with an idea in mind, he used the technique of "forming an array" to set up an array to guard the cave.
