Daoist Tong Ling kept repeating: "We must think of a way to stop this from happening, we must think of a way to stop this from happening … we must think of a way to stop this from happening!"
She suddenly raised her head: "Master, if it really doesn't work, we can make more preparations and talk to that kid after he goes up the mountain. If he knows what's good for him and gives up the bet, we won't mistreat him and give him some compensation."
While speaking, Daoist Tong Ling's eyes revealed a bit of ruthlessness: "If he doesn't know what's good for him, then we might as well leave him on Yunxing Peak!"
Ancestor Qing Wei let out a long sigh: "This method also won't work."
Daoist Tong Ling was anxious: "Master!"
Ancestor Qing Wei shook his head and said: "I'm not saying your method is wrong, but this method is not feasible."
Daoist Tong Ling asked curiously: "Why?"
Ancestor Qing Wei briefly introduced the course of the battle on the wilderness outside Shazhou City. Daoist Tong Ling was immediately dumbfounded. After who knows how long, a smile uglier than crying appeared on her face: "Just what kind of people are in this Xuanmen Tianzong?"
"In this way, wouldn't Yanran's bet be lost for sure, and my Celeritas Sword Sect will become the laughing stock of the world!"
If Murong Yanran was an ordinary disciple, then it would be fine, perhaps it could be handled in a low-key manner.
But in these three years, Murong Yanran followed Daoist Tong Ling to travel around, and was listed in the entire Nine Heavens Sword Alliance and the Great Qin Dynasty. She had the strongest potential among her peers in the Celeritas Sword Sect, and her reputation was the most resounding. She was the focus of the sect's training.
For such a disciple to lose to someone else as a slave, the Celeritas Sword Sect would definitely find it hard to accept.
The key was that Murong Yanran despised him for being a good-for-nothing and forcibly broke off the engagement. Now that the good-for-nothing who was broken off from the engagement soared to the sky and came to slap their faces. If the whole story was also exposed, then it wouldn't just be a slap in the face, but the entire face of the Celeritas Sword Sect would be stripped clean.
If Xiao Yan only relied on his own strength, without any background, Ancestor Qing Wei absolutely wouldn't mind accepting Daoist Tong Ling's suggestion. Even this idea had repeatedly appeared in the old man's mind.
But as soon as he thought of Lin Feng's various methods, Ancestor Qing Wei shuddered.
But if Xiao Yan really came to slap his face, Murong Yanran would lose the bet in the past and become Xiao Yan's maidservant, the old man would not be able to accept it.
Ancestor Qing Wei muttered to himself, "Think of a way. I must think of a way."
After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This method might work." After the calculation, Ancestor Qing Wei's old face finally relaxed. Instead of frowning, he smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Reverend Tong Ling looked at the old man strangely. "Master, do you have an idea?"
Ancestor Qing Wei took a look at her and thought, "I still need her to explain to Murong Yanran clearly the relationship between them." So he simply told her his idea.
Daoist Master Tong Ling was stunned when he heard this. He said hesitantly, "Master, I'm afraid …"
Ancestor Qing Wei said lightly, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Just do as I say."
After Immortal Tong Ling left, Ancestor Qing Wei sighed, "I hope it will work."
"Xiao Yan, alas, why did you have to take Lin Feng as your master!"
…
Lin Feng, who made a lot of people confused, was staring at his system in a daze.
Yue Hongyan and Yang Qing were accepted, and Lin Feng got two lottery chances. Naturally, he would use them without hesitation.
But the lottery system couldn't be accessed. There was only a line of big words displayed.
"System upgrade in progress. Please enter after the upgrade is completed!"
Lin Feng scratched his head and looked at the exchange system. Sure enough, the system was also undergoing an upgrade and couldn't be accessed.
He remembered that the last time the system upgraded was when he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
"When I reached the Core Formation stage, I didn't see the system upgrade." Lin Feng thought carefully. "It seems that the upgrade of the system is not only bound to my own Taoist level, but also to the upgrade of my self-created Taoist method, the Tao Te Ching."
The first system upgrade was when he comprehended the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the Tao Te Ching of the Eight Trigrams, and successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
The second system upgrade was when he comprehended the second chapter of the Tao Te Ching of the Four Symbols, the Tao Te Ching of the Four Symbols, and successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Lin Feng pondered and said, "The upgrade of my own Taoist level and the upgrade of my self-created Taoist level are two conditions that can't be lacking."
When he first created the Tao Te Ching of the Four Symbols, he didn't see the system upgrade because he hadn't successfully reached the Yuanying stage.
Lin Feng sighed. Forget it, he could only wait until the upgrade was over before using the lottery chance. He hoped that the upgrade would be more powerful and give him something good.
Since he couldn't draw the lottery for the time being, Lin Feng wandered around the mountain alone.
As he wandered, Lin Feng arrived at the door of the alchemy room. He raised his head and looked at the horizontal board with the words "Heaven Returning Gold Pavilion". Lin Feng thought, "As the main palace hall, the Celestial Palace's special feature is its amazing defense."
"The disciples' abode can attract the surrounding spiritual energy to nourish the people living inside. It seems that these buildings built by the sect's construction token all have their own special uses. I wonder what's so special about this alchemy room?"
While thinking, Lin Feng entered the alchemy room named Heaven Returning Gold Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Yan walking around the Outer Core Furnace with a black face.
The furnace had already been lit up, and waves of medicinal fragrance wafted out.
When Xiao Yan saw Lin Feng come in, he grinned, revealing his white teeth. However, when matched with his black cheeks, he looked quite funny.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Why don't you clean yourself up?"
With Xiao Yan's current cultivation, as long as he wants, he can completely not be stained by a speck of dust, not to mention suffocating himself until he looks like an African.
"I can't take care of it, Master." Xiao Yan stared at the furnace and replied, "Your alchemy room is really great. I've tested it. With the help of the Eight Trigrams Formation on the floor of your alchemy room, and the help of these Wind and Fire Cattail Fans, the success rate of alchemy has increased by at least 30%."
When Lin Feng heard this, he was a little surprised. A treasure like the Outer Core Furnace could only increase the success rate of alchemy by 30%.
Now, with the addition of Heaven Returning Gold Pavilion, it could directly increase the success rate of alchemy by 60%.
This data was absolutely terrifying.
To be precise, the success rate of alchemy mentioned here actually referred to the utilization rate of medicinal herbs.
When ordinary cultivators were refining pills, the fire control, the ratio of medicinal herbs, the timing of opening the furnace and other factors would affect the utilization rate of medicinal herbs. Generally speaking, the majority of cultivators could only effectively use about 30% of the medicinal herbs, and the rest would be wasted as medicinal dregs.
This was actually considered a success in alchemy. Strictly speaking, it was a failure. The medicinal herbs in the furnace would be completely destroyed, and the time spent on alchemy would also be wasted.
Cultivators with outstanding alchemy techniques and skills would probably use about 40% to 50% of the medicinal herbs.
Xiao Yan could achieve this ratio previously, and this was the result of him not learning alchemy systematically. He had to rely on himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a little guilty. "It's a pity that I didn't capture the Hundred Herbs Ancestor alive. Otherwise, I would have been able to obtain his insights in alchemy and alchemy, and I would also have had something to teach Little Yan. Now, it's really a waste of his talent. What a pity."
The Hundred Herbs Ancestor's thousands of years of cultivation had all been dealing with spiritual medicine and elixirs. When he was refining pills, a conservative estimate of the medicinal herbs' utilization rate was more than 70%. With a good alchemy furnace, he could break through 90% in minutes.
With the Outer Core Furnace in his hands, the medicinal herbs' utilization rate would be 100%, and not a single raw material would be wasted.
And now, with his own alchemy skills and the addition of Outer Core Furnace and Heaven Returning Gold Pavilion, Xiao Yan could also achieve 100% utilization rate of medicinal herbs.
There might be some slight fluctuations, but it was close to perfection.
Xiao Yan himself was also very excited about this. It was obvious that he had been tossing and turning in the alchemy room for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired. His transcendence power was almost depleted, but his spirit was abnormally excited.
Lin Feng scanned with his transcendence power and found that there were already a few large gourds with elixirs in them. They were all Thunderous Recover Pill and Barrier Breaking Pill.
After Lin Feng obtained the elixir recipes for these two types of elixirs, he turned around and gave them to Xiao Yan.
Looking at the excited Xiao Yan, Lin Feng thought to himself, "Looks like I need to get some more elixir recipes. Hmm, it would be best if I can get them from the system, like the 33 Heavens Fortune Celestial Pill, elixirs that don't exist in this world."
He, Xuanmen Tianzong, had established his own sect. It was not very appropriate for him to refine elixirs in the alchemy room all day long.
"Well, Xiao Yan, you have to study more and develop new products that are unique to us as soon as possible. Engage in more technological development and innovation. This is the core competitiveness."
Lin Feng thought shamelessly. He raised his head to look at the roof of the alchemy room and was suddenly stunned.
Other than the Eight Trigrams on the floor of the Returning Heaven Gold Pavilion, there were also Eight Trigrams on the ceiling. Different from the golden pattern on the floor, the Eight Trigrams on the ceiling were silver.
Lin Feng stared at the silver Eight Trigrams for a while, and gradually felt out some of the knack of it. He had a guess in his heart.
He took out a porcelain bottle with seven elixirs in it. They were the elixirs unique to the Heavenly Sword Sect that Yang Tonghui had given him at the Vast Sea Dharma Assembly in the Sand Continent, the Heavenly Connecting Pill.
At this time, Xiao Yan had also completed the process of pulling the elixirs. He once again refined a cauldron of good elixirs. He took out a dozen Barrier Breaking Pills from the Outer Core Furnace and stored them in the large gourds on the wall.
He looked strangely at Lin Feng. "Master?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly. "Xiao Yan, the profoundness of this alchemy room is not just to increase the success rate of refining elixirs."
As he said this, he ran a Heavenly Connecting Pill into the air. With a thought, he communicated with the silver Eight Trigrams on the ceiling. Instantly, a silver light descended and caught the Heavenly Connecting Pill.
Once the silver light came into contact with the Heavenly Connecting Pill, it immediately started flashing non-stop. A large number of diagrams and words appeared in the silver light.
Xiao Yan looked carefully, and his eyes instantly widened. He exclaimed, "Master, this is the elixir formula for the Heavenly Connecting Pill!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. He thought to himself, "I guessed right. This alchemy room has many mysteries. It is far from being that simple."
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's heart suddenly moved. "If the alchemy room is like this, then what about the Depository of Scriptures?"
