The small building was 100 feet tall and had two floors. From afar, it looked like a huge gourd. Chief Designer Li Changshou's inspiration should be Jiujiu's accompanying Dharma treasure, the Evil-Slaying Ruyi Sword.
It was the huge gourd that could change its size and carry people in the air.
The small building stood in a pool, and there was another well 800 feet away from the door. The pool and the well were connected.
If one looked down from the sky, they would see a Taiji Diagram with a diameter of 1,000 feet embedded in the forest. The pool was in the shape of the Yin-Yang Fish, and the small building and the well were two Yin-Yang Eyes.
It was a Fengshui Array that could suppress luck and expel evil. Moreover, the Duxian Gate belonged to the Ren School, and the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram was also said to exist.
When he landed in front of the small building, he looked up and saw a wooden sign with the words "Xiao Qiong Mount Pill Chamber" written on it.
On a closer look, there were two vertical lines of words under the wooden sign: "With the permission of the Hundred Mortal Hall, you are allowed to build a small building for refining pills."
Simply put, it was a standard building with a certificate!
When he entered through the main door, he was greeted by a wooden screen, and behind it was a huge Pill Furnace that was 60 feet tall.
The Pill Furnace occupied a large area, and it was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. It was forged with a large piece of purple gold, and there were hundreds of herbs carved on it. There were also many restrictions on it.
However, there were a lot of "patches" on the top half of the Pill Furnace, and it looked a little shabby.
It was originally an abandoned Pill Furnace, but only the top half of the Pill Furnace had exploded. Li Changshou used his connections with the Spirit Fish to exchange for it in the Hundred Mortal Hall. After spending half a year repairing it, it could finally be used again.
The Pill Furnace had three legs, two ears, and a round belly. There were "windows" in the shape of the Yin-Yang Fish on all four sides, and the Fire-Condensing Array, Spirit-Equalizing Array, and other main restrictions were very complete.
After Li Changshou's repair, the power of the Pill Furnace was now only 30% less than when it was not damaged.
What was even rarer was that it did not cost much to get the furnace.
The large piece of purple gold could suppress the medicinal properties of most spirit herbs, and the Pill Furnace was the most valuable treasure on the Xiao Qiong Mount.
The entire building was built around the Pill Furnace.
Around the pill furnace were several rows of shelves, which were filled with large and small jade bottles, gourds, and jade boxes. There were also many spirit pills refined by this pill furnace, but they were all common ones.
This place had been tidied up by Lan Ling'e. This Junior Sister was also cultivating in seclusion, working hard to improve her cultivation level.
When Jiujiu jumped in from the outside, Li Changshou, who was dressed in a light blue robe, was standing next to the alchemy furnace. More than ten light golden pills were floating in his palm, and he was experiencing the experience of alchemy just now.
"Little Changshou, what new pill did you refine this time?" Jiujiu asked curiously.
"Martial Uncle, do you want to try it? I've just refined the Heart-calming Spirit-Concentrating Pill. I've changed the taste a little, and the medicinal effects should be good. "
Li Changshou asked casually, and two spirit pills slowly flew to Jiujiu. Jiujiu swallowed them directly, and chewed them loudly. Soon, she burped and exhaled a breath of fresh fragrance.
"So sweet." Jiujiu stretched out her right hand. "Give me a few more!"
Li Changshou grabbed a white jade porcelain bottle, put the pills inside, and handed the porcelain bottle to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu did not retract her hand. "This month's Drunk Immortal and Beauty's Charm!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget you, Martial Uncle."
Li Changshou chuckled and handed over two palm-sized jade pots.
Jiujiu could not wait to open it and take a sniff, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Sure, Changshou, your ability to refine pills is on par with your ability to brew wine.
Do you need our help today?
You won't be building array formations for the next two months, so we can't keep eating for free. "
"Not today," Li Changshou said with a smile. "Twenty days later, I want to refine a more difficult immortal pill, and I want to ask for your help, Martial Uncle."
Jiujiu patted her chest happily, and her hemp shirt swayed slightly.
"No problem! Leave it to me!
Twenty days later, right? "
"That's right, twenty days later," Li Changshou said seriously. "The pill I'm refining this time is very important to me, and once I start preparing, I can't stop.
If you don't have the time, Martial Uncle, please inform me in time.
Also, I wonder if you can keep this a secret for me. "
"What pill is it? Why are you being so secretive?"
"A poisonous pill called Immortal-Melting Pill."
Jiujiu was shocked as well. "Immortal-Melting Pill? Isn't it said that it can poison Perfected Immortals to death?
I seem to have heard Fifth Senior Brother mention this a long time ago. Why are you refining this thing? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Poison is actually a type of medicinal property, just like how vegetables have sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
Poisonous pills can be used to kill people, but they can also be used to save people.
Don't worry, Martial Uncle, I don't have any enemies. I love the life of cultivation, so I won't do anything evil.
If I can successfully refine the Immortal-Melting Pill, I will give you a year's worth of Beauty's Charm as a thank you gift. It's not included in the agreement. "
"Deal!"
Jiujiu clenched her right fist and extended it in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou raised his fist and bumped it gently with hers. Jiujiu immediately beamed.
"I'll come back in twenty days."
"Take care, Martial Uncle."
Amidst the laughter, Jiujiu sat on the huge gourd and soared into the sky, flying to the Xiao Qiong Mount.
She looked back and saw that the forest she had just flown out of was covered in a thin fog. In the blink of an eye, the thin fog enveloped the entire forest. However, when a gentle breeze blew, the white fog disappeared.
The dense forest within a radius of 15 kilometers did not seem to have changed much, but Jiujiu knew that the huge array formation inside had already begun to operate.
"In the future, if I want to make fun of Old Seventh and Old Eighth, I can trick them to come here."
Jiujiu mumbled softly, but then she thought of Li Changshou's serious face. "I have to greet this fellow. Otherwise, he'll be preaching passionately again."
Shaking her head, Jiujiu sat on the huge gourd and soared into the sky. Soon, she returned to the back of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. She flew into the overlapping array formations and disappeared.
That was the place where Exalted Wang Qing's nine disciples cultivated in seclusion. A series of pavilions had been built along the mountain.
Although the Nine Jiu Immortals were only a "branch" of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Jiujiu, who had the lowest cultivation level and had entered the sect the shortest, was a Perfected Immortal. Naturally, her treatment was not comparable to that of Qi Yuan and his two disciples.
Not only was there an excellent Spirit Gathering Array, but there were also many miscellaneous disciples. A few pavilions were also surrounded by protective arrays that were forbidden by the sect rules. It was a very ideal place for cultivation.
Jiujiu was the youngest and was doted on by her senior brothers and sisters. Her residence was close to Jiuwu's, and she was vaguely surrounded by the residences of her senior brothers and sisters.
If Jiujiu went into seclusion, the others would naturally guard her.
Under the stealthy gazes of the few miscellaneous disciples, Jiujiu flew back to the pavilion on her own. She kicked away her cloth shoes and jumped barefoot onto the bed carved from green jade. She hugged the two jade pots that she had just brought and chuckled softly …
"Should I drink you first this time, or should I drink you first?
Little Shoushou is really not bad. He can actually make such a good thing.
Three years are about to pass. The 'Ganges River's Dry Liquor' that he had buried previously is about to be unearthed. When the time comes, I must drink to my heart's content!
Slurp, I'll dote on Beauty's Charm today. "
"Cough! Cough, cough! "
Outside the pavilion, the five-foot-tall short Daoist coughed for a while. Jiujiu, who was lying on the bed, immediately covered the two jade pots in her hands and stared vigilantly outside. When she saw who it was, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Fifth Senior Brother, you can just come in. I didn't open the array."
"I was just reprimanded by Eldest Senior Sister. Although we are familiar with each other, I still have to be respectful," Jiuwu said with a smile. He took two steps forward and suddenly stopped.
There was really nowhere to stand.
Looking at the wine jars, short-sleeved shirts, and dudou, Jiuwu slapped his forehead and grumbled, "Little Jiu, you're already a thousand years old. You don't even know how to clean up the house."
Jiujiu sniffed a few times and waved her hand. "There's no strange smell. It's fine."
She casually put the jade pot into her storage Dharma treasure and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Jiuwu struggled to open a path through the pile of junk on the ground. He sat beside the short table and muttered to himself.
"Recently, Jiujiu, you've been going to the Xiao Qiong Mount a lot," said Jiuwu with a smile. "It's all the same. What are you doing there?"
"Playing. What else can I do?" Jiujiu blinked. "Fifth Senior Brother, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"Nothing, nothing." Jiuwu waved his hand and scratched his head. He thought of the mission that his senior and junior sisters had given him and could not bring himself to say it.
What should he say?
He could not possibly ask his junior sister directly if she had fallen in love with someone from the Xiao Qiong Mount.
Jiuwu regained his composure. "Ahem! I remember that in the decades when you first entered the sect, you were quite close to Junior Brother Qi Yuan of the Xiao Qiong Mount. "
"That's right." Jiujiu nodded. "At that time, Senior Brother Qi Yuan took care of me a lot."
Jiuwu wanted to say something but hesitated. "Then you … Are you …"
Jiujiu frowned and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, what's wrong with you? You're stuttering today."
"I, I … Ah!"
Jiuwu stomped his feet. "Then I'll ask you directly!
Recently, Little Jiu, have you been going to the Xiao Qiong Mount every day? You're still so energetic every day when you're banned from drinking!
Those Senior Sisters of yours were wondering if it was … um, if it was … "
"What is it?"
"You!"
"Me?" Jiujiu frowned tightly. Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Jiu Wu's breath rose to his throat. He steeled his Dao heart and turned it into a question.
"Are you!?
Are you about to break through … "
"It's not that easy to break through." Jiujiu rolled her eyes. "Tell my senior sisters not to worry. If I encounter a bottleneck, I'll ask you. I won't rush to break through by myself."
"That's good, that's good. I'll go back first. You cultivate."
Jiuwu ran away. He got up and walked quickly to the door. He turned around and asked, "By the way, Little Jiu, the two nests of spiders that you brought back from the Xiao Qiong Mount have been killed by me. Ask Disciple-Nephew Changshou if there are any more. I'll use treasures and pills to exchange with him."
"Okay, got it. I'll ask for you next time."
Jiuwu smiled.
Tsk. Ever since Jiujiu brought back a nest of Double-Pupil Three-Headed Spiders two years ago, he had obtained the spider silk that could allow him to see things from afar. His life had become much more fun.
Especially when he placed the spider silk beside the pool where his Dao companion often bathed. That scene …
"Tsk tsk." Jiuwu lowered his head and walked away quickly. The sound of the wind could be heard as he walked.
"Why is Fifth Senior Brother acting so strange today? Forget it. He must have quarreled with Fourth Senior Sister."
Jiujiu shook her head. She then activated the array outside the attic. She lay on the bed and took out two jade pots. She then continued to immerse herself in a happy and tangled moment.
…
In the Elixir Room of the Xiao Qiong Mount.
Li Changshou stood in front of the Elixir Furnace. He had already put in the herbs for the next batch of pills. He turned around and walked to the cattail hassock on the left.
He held a jade token in his left hand and carefully sensed the changes in the array. After confirming that there was no danger, he casually opened the Elixir Furnace. A few flames suddenly appeared in the Elixir Furnace.
He also sat on the cattail hassock on the left side of the Elixir Furnace. However, when he sat down, a wisp of green smoke exploded around him. His figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a paper man behind.
The paper man in the green smoke turned into Li Changshou's appearance in the blink of an eye. This wisp of green smoke quickly seeped into the small hole at the bottom of the cattail hassock and disappeared.
The Transfiguration Technique was Qiyuan Laodao's "unique skill". As the eldest disciple, he had naturally learned it long ago.
In fact, the number of things he could transform now was … several times more than his master.
