Chapter 49

For the first month, Jiang Yuanchen stayed at Ran Weng's side to help fan the fire and refine pills. As for his own alchemy attainments, although he saw Ran Weng's hand techniques and received Ran Weng's guidance, he still had no practical experience.

It wasn't until the second month, when Ran Weng refined all the pills into the life source golden furnace and slowly mixed the medicinal liquid, that Jiang Yuanchen had some free time and could try to refine pills by himself.

With the Three Origin Cauldron as well as the medicinal herbs that Ran Weng had prepared, although Jiang Yuanchen had some small failures at the beginning, he was able to refine some Qi Transformation Pills, Connection Pills, and Fasting Pills under Ran Weng's guidance. Although most of them were middle grade pills and there was not a single high grade pill, Jiang Yuanchen was still able to have such a result in his first attempt.

As for the Beast Spirit Pills, Golden Stone Pills, and Origin Qi Pills, Jiang Yuanchen also tried to refine a few furnaces, and for this, he spent all of the sect's accumulated salary points. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchen could turn these pills over to the sect in exchange for salary points to earn a small profit. In this way, he could slowly make a small profit.

In the third month, Jiang Yuanchen had learned all the elementary pills of the four sects. At this time, Ran Weng said to Jiang Yuanchen, "You can abandon the Golden Stone Pill.

Among the four types of pills, you are the least proficient in Golden Stone Pill. Rather than refining some poison to harm others, it is better to choose the other sects. As for the remaining three sects, you can choose for yourself. If you can refine three 'Seven Ridge Child Pills' with these three pill recipes before I leave the Taixu Taoism, then this Three Origin Cauldron will be given to you as a congratulatory gift from this old man. "

The Three Origin Cauldron's material was very good. It was an ancient cauldron that Ran Weng took out from the residence of a senior alchemy cultivator. However, the cultivation world was changing with each passing day. This ancient cauldron was much worse than the ones that Ran Weng used. It wouldn't be enough for an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, but it was more than enough for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, in the next few months, apart from helping Ran Weng obtain medicinal herbs, Jiang Yuanchen also used the Spirit Gathering Technique to collect the seven kinds of Spirit Qi and Evil Qi required for the Seven Ridge Child Pill. The only thing he had no clue about was the cold attribute Inner Core required for the Beast Spirit Pill.

The Seven Ridge Child Pill's Beast Spirit Pill recipe required a Seven Colored Spirit Ladybug as a drug, then a Cold Spirit Beast Pill and a bottle of Pure Yang Beast Heart as the main medicine. However, for some reason, while the Taixu Dao Sect had plenty of materials related to monsters and spirit beasts, they lacked the most important type of beast cores. In the past, Jiang Yuanchen rarely used core beast cores when refining medicine, so he naturally didn't know about it. But now that he asked the deacon of Thousand Treasure Pavilion, he had some doubts in his heart.

Compared to the other parts of the body, the Beast Core had even fewer uses. Aside from refining pills and medicines, what other uses did it have? If it was hard to preserve, then the other parts of the materials could be preserved. Why couldn't the Spirit Pill be preserved?

Jiang Yuanchen was not satisfied. Just as he was about to ask more questions, he heard someone greet him, "Isn't this Junior Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Yuanchen turned his head and saw a man in white smiling at him.

"Hello, Senior Brother Wei."

"What are you looking for? You should be using them to refine pills? "

"Yes." Jiang Yuanchen replied, "I'm looking for a cold attribute beast core, but I didn't expect there to be no stock here."

"Oh, there are very few Spirit Beast Pills in the Dao Sect. Other than a few seniors who are proficient in refining pills, the rest have been collected by the sect." Wei Gong's heart moved, "But the sect doesn't have Spirit Beast Pills, but there are many outside the Taixu Taoism."

"Outside?" Jiang Yuanchen was thinking about the sect collecting Spirit Beast Pills. Hearing Wei Gong's words, Jiang Yuanchen hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, can you tell me more about it?"

"I accepted a mission from the Good Deeds Hall to kill a demon. I came here to find some antidote pills to protect myself. I didn't expect to meet Junior Brother. Junior Brother, are you interested in accompanying me? You should know that there are many herbs around the Spirit Beast. They might be of help to you in refining pills. "

"Going out to slay demons?" Jiang Yuanchen was somewhat hesitant. "What about the time?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will prepare to leave and return within three days." Wei Gong hurriedly encouraged Jiang Yuanchen when he saw that Jiang Yuanchen was somewhat moved. Jiang Yuanchen definitely had many antidotes on him. With his help, Wei Gong's mission would be easier to complete.

Tomorrow? Jiang Yuanchen calculated the time. Ran Weng needed seven days to refine a cauldron of pills. It wouldn't matter if he left for a few days.

"That's good too. I'll go back and prepare some antidote pills. We'll meet at Lingyun Peak tomorrow morning."

The two of them discussed for a while before leaving. Jiang Yuanchen returned to the pill room at Eternal Sun Peak and reported to Ran Weng.

Ran Weng waved his fan and increased the intensity of the fire. He said, "Go. That Frigid Pool Venomous Snake has cold venom. Remember to bring some warm antidotes. However, you can also bring some herbs with a dry heat attribute. "

After receiving permission and guidance, Jiang Yuanchen returned to his resting room to take inventory of the pills.

In these four months, Jiang Yuanchen had refined many pills. Apart from handing most of them to the sect to exchange for materials, he had also picked some useful pills and kept them by his side.

He picked some mild antidote pills and Qi Replenishing Pills and put them in his Qiankun Pouch. He then took a few Scarlet Scorch Pills and put them into the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. He then took inventory of his magic tools.

Jiang Yuanchen had focused on refining pills these few months and didn't have many requirements for magic tools. Apart from his Natal Hetu, the Moon Spirit Banner modified from the Earth Banner, the Tranquil Meditation Mat passed down by Daoist Master Yuwei, and the Peach Wood Sword struck by Lightning. Jiang Yuanchen also had a Pristine Jade Bottle to hold the Moon Spirit Nourishing Water.

The next day, Jiang Yuanchen returned to Lingyun Peak as promised. Wei Gong was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain with the things he had prepared.

Gazing at the misty Lingyun Peak, a golden light suddenly flew down from the top of the mountain and landed in Jiang Yuanchen's hands.

"I heard that Junior Brother is going out to slay demons. This golden blade is made from Yang Gold. It might be able to help Junior Brother. Brother, Zixuan. "

Jiang Yuanchen bowed to the Lingyun Peak from afar and kept the Demon Slayer Golden Blade in his sleeves. He got up and rushed to the Jade Pool of Black Marsh Mountain with Wei Gong.

Wei Gong took out his beast flute and summoned a white crane. Jiang Yuanchen took out Hetu and a dragon horse leaped down from Hetu.

The dragon horse rode on the clouds and the white crane cried. The two spirit beasts carried the two of them towards the north.

…

The Black Marsh Mountain was located in the wilderness of the Jiang Nation. It was originally guarded by a Mountain God. However, three months ago, the Mountain God died for unknown reasons and a Jade Green Venomous Snake was wreaking havoc. Therefore, the Taixu Taoism believed that this venomous snake was trying to harm the Mountain God and ordered Wei Gong to kill the snake demon.

"Senior Brother, I don't think this snake demon can assassinate a Mountain God." The Dragon Horse and the Immortal Crane circled the Black Pool Mountain and finally arrived at the Mountain God Temple.

"However, no matter what, this snake demon has wreaked havoc. Many humans and even the demon spirits of this mountain have been eaten. It is a crime punishable by death." Wei Gong was born into an official's family and naturally understood the Taixu Taoism's intentions.

Since they couldn't find the culprit behind the mountain god's death, they would just put the blame on the mountain god. However, they could not hang the murderer in the air and ruin the reputation of the Daoist Sect. This would cause many Earth Spirit Gods to lose their loyalty.

"Master Xun told me to give this to you." After the two of them walked around the Mountain God Temple for a while, Wei Gong took out a talisman and handed it to Jiang Yuanchen.

"God Conferment Decree?" Jiang Yuanchen took the yellow talisman and looked at it. "The sect wants us to be conferred as gods again?"

"Master Xun said that since you have experience in this area, there is no need to specially send a Golden Core cultivator over. The two of us can choose a kind-hearted person from the Mountain Spirits and let him manage the mountain spirits and demons of this mountain. "

The Taixu Taoism did kill demons, but it would definitely not kill demon spirits and take their Inner Cores indiscriminately. After all, it was a righteous sect. They had to find a reason to do things, right? If it was a demon spirit that was focused on cultivation, the Taixu Taoism would not be so ruthless.

In the Taixu Taoism realm, these demon spirits were watched over by the gods. Other than suppressing the Earth Qi in the mountains, the Mountain God's greatest responsibility was to mediate the relationship between humans and demon spirits.

This was the human-demon pact that the Taixu Taoism had set. All demon spirits in this realm could not use blood to cultivate their magic power. Human race was forbidden.

"Master Xun sure is relaxed, letting a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like me take charge of the situation?" Jiang Yuanchen was speechless.

"Anyway, we are not conferring a human this time. Plus, there are all sorts of incense and candles in the Mountain God Temple. When the time comes, we can just set up an incense table." Wei Gong checked the situation of the Mountain God Temple.

"However, there is nothing strange about the Mountain God Temple. There are also no signs of fighting. Looks like the real battlefield is inside the Mountain God God Territory?" Wei Gong said doubtfully, "After Junior Brother is conferred as a god again, the two of us will go to the God Territory to take a look and see if we can find anything."

Although according to the Taixu Taoism, it was Venomous Snake who assassinated the Mountain God, Wei Gong was secretly ordered by Master Xun to investigate the situation here.

Why did a Mountain God suddenly perish for no reason? And why did the surrounding gods not react at all? If that was the case, it was obviously not a real fight. Otherwise, the Mountain God of Black Pool Mountain could have called out to the surrounding gods for help, right?

Holding the God Conferment Decree, Jiang Yuanchen pondered for a while, "If I borrow the power of this item, I might be able to activate the Mountain God Altar here. But let's go ask the demon spirits in the surroundings first and see if they know anything."

Earlier, the two of them had circled around Black Pool Mountain and had a rough understanding of the distribution of demon spirits in the mountain. The two of them discussed for a while and split up to search for demon spirits in two different directions.

Jade Pool. After the Emerald Green Snake Demon entered this place, there were no longer any living creatures in the pool. Even the mountain where the pool was located was devoid of living creatures. Even the trees had mostly withered. The water of the Jade Pool suddenly rippled and a long emerald green shadow flashed under the water …
