After the first day of the competition ended, He Yiming and the rest returned to the courtyard.
The Mountain-Opening Competition was naturally not a child's play. It was impossible for it to end completely in a day. However, the Hengshan branch had indeed achieved great results on the first day. Especially Che Wenjun, who was favored by Zhu Baqi. She overcame all difficulties and won three rounds in a row. Her momentum was like a rainbow, and there were signs of her entering the top ten in one go.
After dinner, Yu Jinglei ordered everyone to rest. Then, he brought He Yiming, the Medicine Man, and Yu Xichen to the backyard.
Yuan Lixun also had a room here, but most of the time, she did not stay here. Instead, she was dragged by Li Mingxuan to the Northern Border Ice Palace's side courtyard on the main peak to cultivate her unique cultivation method.
Although He Yiming was curious, he did not see eye to eye with Li Mingxuan because he did not see eye to eye with her.
At this moment, Yuan Lixun was cultivating her cultivation method, so she was also not here.
As for 108, who was also qualified to be here, he had already returned to the dark room that belonged to him. He hid like a ghost and did not come out.
When He Yiming arrived, he was carrying a white boar that was the size of a dog. It was wrinkling its nose as if it was sleeping, but no one dared to underestimate it.
Even if this spirit beast did not have the slightest bit of strength, as long as it was the most beloved spirit beast of the Tianchi Mountain's ancestor, it was enough to give it an unimaginable status.
Yu Jinglei looked at He Yiming and laughed bitterly. "Elder He, you and this Baozhu are really fated."
He Yiming gently placed the Baozhu on the table and sat down next to it.
"Elder Yu, this must be fate," He Yiming said with a smile, glancing at the Baozhu's snow-white body that did not have a single strand of mixed hair.
Strangely enough, this little guy ran all over the place every day, even through the mud. But from the beginning to the end, its body remained spotless and clean. However, if it didn't have such a magical ability, He Yiming and the others wouldn't have liked this little guy so much.
"What a pity." Medicine Elder suddenly shook his head.
"What's a pity?" He Yiming asked in surprise.
The Medicine Elder looked at the Baozhu and said, "I have inquired. Although this Baozhu looks small, it has indeed lived for more than 500 years."
He Yiming and the others were slightly startled, and then they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Medicine Elder, you must be joking." He Yiming said helplessly, "Even if we don't like this little guy, I'm afraid no one would dare to have any ideas about it."
The Medicine Elder nodded slightly and said, "I know, that's why I said it's a pity … Ouch."
He suddenly jumped up and clutched his thigh, crying out in pain.
Just then, a white shadow flashed past like lightning and slammed into his thigh with lightning speed.
Everyone looked at each other. Only then did they see that Treasure Pig, who was originally sleeping, had woken up at some point. Furthermore, it gave the Medicine Man a heavy blow at a speed that even He Yiming and Yu Jinglei could not see clearly.
They turned around and saw that the Baozhu on the table had already stood up. Its nose was wrinkled, as if it was throwing a tantrum. Its small eyes had an unfriendly light as it stared fiercely at the Medicine Elder.
He Yiming frowned slightly. His relationship with the Medicine Man was unusual. He waved his hand and said, "Go and play with 108."
The Baozhu snorted unhappily and then disappeared with a leap. However, everyone couldn't imagine how the eerie 108, who was emitting ghost qi from head to toe and was almost no different from a wooden man, could play with Treasure Pig.
Yu Jinglei looked in the direction that Baozhu had left and said, "Medicine Elder He, has Baozhu always been this fast?"
"Yes," He Yiming nodded and said, "In fact, its fastest speed was much faster than before."
After spending a few months with Baozhu, He Yiming had long known that the little guy was not as simple as it seemed.
If anyone underestimated its strength because of its weak appearance, they would definitely be taught an unforgettable lesson.
However, even He Yiming, who had spent a few months with it, didn't know how strong it really was. After all, due to this guy's identity, He Yiming couldn't possibly take out his glaive or the Five Element Ring to fight with it.
It was just that the longer they spent together, the deeper their feelings became.
The Medicine Elder was still rubbing his thigh, it could be imagined how much pain the collision had brought him.
Yu Xichen suddenly laughed and said, "Medicine Elder brother, if this little guy had hit a little higher, you would have been in trouble."
The Medicine Elder took in a breath of cold air, cursed and swore, "If I meet this guy in the future, I swear to take revenge."
Yu Jinglei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Forget it, if you didn't have any ideas about Neidan, it also wouldn't have provoked you." Pausing, he said, "This Baozhu has a prominent name within the radius of ten miles around the Heaven Lake. If you were really targeted by it, it wouldn't be a small matter."
The Medicine Elder hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly and didn't speak anymore.
He Yiming was rather embarrassed, and said, "Medicine Elder, if you're really angry, how about I capture that guy and let you beat it up to vent your anger?"
The Medicine Elder waved his hand and said unhappily, "Elder He, you must be joking. Do you really think that I, at my age, will really fuss over every ounce with a spirit beast?"
He Yiming laughed embarrassedly. He also knew that if he killed the Baozhu and gave the Neidan to him, he would definitely use it to refine pills without hesitation. However, to ask him to beat up the Baozhu, this old man was indeed not interested, nor was he so thick-skinned.
Coughing lightly, He Yiming said, "Elder Yu, what exactly do you want to discuss with us here?"
Yu Jinglei slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about the important matter." He shook his head and said, "Everyone, I summoned you here because I have something to discuss with you."
He looked at He Yiming and the Medicine Man and said, "Actually, this matter is related to the two of you."
Before He Yiming could say anything, the Medicine Man said seriously, "If it's something that benefits the sect, please make the decision, Martial Uncle."
He Yiming blinked. Yu Jinglei did not say it out loud, but the Medicine Man seemed to have guessed it. His heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "The Face Retaining Pill?"
"That's right, it's the Face Retaining Pill." Yu Jinglei said seriously, "Medicine Elder, the Face Retaining Pill doesn't belong to Mount Heng. It's a treasure that you obtained by chance before you joined the sect. You're the only one who knows how to refine the pill. Although it's not very useful to us old farts, it's a priceless treasure to those who need it. "
The Medicine Man smiled and said, "It's not necessarily priceless. Moreover, I'm not the only one who has this pill formula."
Yu Jinglei's expression changed immediately. He said, "That's impossible. If someone else had this pill formula, how could Zhang Zhongji, a member of the Great Shen Kingdom's Grand Spirit Palace, not be able to find it?"
The Medicine Man chuckled as his gaze lingered on He Yiming.
What kind of person was Yu Jinglei? His mind turned, and he immediately understood. He smiled bitterly: "So Medicine Elder gave the recipe to Elder He. En, that's not surprising."
He knew the relationship between He Yiming and the Medicine Man very well.
The childless Medicine Elder had long treated He Wuji and He Wude as his own sons. As for He Wude's grandson, He Yiming, he looked at him in a different light. Even if he was his own grandson, he would still treat him the same.
However, as He Yiming's martial arts skills improved, they could only address each other as elders due to the rules of Mount Heng.
However, if there really was something good to be passed down, the first person the Medicine Man would think of would be He Yiming.
After a moment of silence, Yu Jinglei said slowly, "If only the two of you know about it and haven't leaked it, then it's not a big problem."
The Medicine Elder hesitated and said, "Uncle, what did Senior Zhang Zhongji say?"
"Zhang Zhongji seems determined to get this pill formula," Yu Jinglei said in a deep voice. "However, from his tone, if there's a finished product, he's willing to pay a great price to exchange it with us."
"A finished product is impossible." He Yiming refused without thinking.
Ever since he saw the formula, he knew that it would be an enormous project to collect all the ingredients on it.
Even if he devoted his entire life to it, he might not be able to do it.
Moreover, there was the matter of refining the pill. If he succeeded, everyone would be happy. However, if he failed, he would have wasted his entire life's effort.
Therefore, not to mention that it was impossible for a pill to appear, even if there was a pill, it was impossible to use it to exchange.
Yu Jinglei was stunned when he heard He Yiming's resolute answer. He looked at the Medicine Man.
The Medicine Man's mouth moved slightly as if he was calculating something. After a long while, he sighed dejectedly and said, "Uncle, I've just calculated. Even if I were to gather all the ingredients for refining, the possibility of a finished product would be less than ten percent. However, to gather ten sets of ingredients for the Pill of Youth Retention is practically a fool's dream. Therefore, a finished product is impossible. "
Yu Jinglei was relieved. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
He Yiming thought quickly and asked, "Elder Yu, what conditions did Zhang Zhongyun give you that made it so difficult for you?"
Yu Jinglei smiled bitterly and said, "His conditions were too generous. Although the Pill of Youth Retention doesn't belong to I, I can't refuse it."
He Yiming was curious and asked, "Tell me about it."
Yu Jinglei extended a finger and said, "They promised that if we could obtain the formula or a finished product, they would exchange it with a Primordial Golden Core."
He Yiming asked suspiciously, "Elder Yu, they're only willing to exchange it with a Primordial Golden Core?"
Ever since He Yiming joined Hengshan, he had obtained a lot of Primordial Neidan pills. Therefore, Hengshan was no longer in a state of shortage.
If it was only for a Primordial Golden Core, why would Yi Teng be in such a difficult position?
Yu Jinglei shook his head slowly and said, "As long as the Grand Divine Wind Palace is not destroyed, they will escort a Primordial Golden Core every ten years until five hundred years have passed."
He Yiming and the others took a deep breath at the same time and sighed in their hearts. How generous! (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
