Li Chiying returned to the back hall of Yuzhen Temple, waved his hand to disperse a large group of maids behind him, leaving only the closest Linglong, and walked into the quiet room.

Li Chiying meditated and practiced in a quiet room that was extremely wide, with three paintings of the highest Taoist gods and leaders hanging on the front: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

All three paintings were written by the most painting saint Wu Daozi. The paintings were exquisitely painted, and the immortal style painted by the three Taoist priests was particularly vivid.

However, there is a triangular Bagua furnace directly in front of the Sanqing portrait. The Bagua furnace is stupid and heavy, and it stands suddenly in the middle of the quiet room. There are countless scattered books scattered around it, some of which are scrolls, and more of which are simplified.

This era is progressing. With the development of papermaking, paper books in the Tang Dynasty were almost popular, mostly based on books. Only ancient books maintain the original flavor of the book.

The messy situation is very irrelevant to the elegant atmosphere of the quiet room.

Li Chiying was unintentionally taking care of her and said to Linglong: "The Heavenly Master does not seem to be lying. He really doesn't know what happened that night."

Linglong said nervously with a tense face: "Even if that's the case, why should the princess care about it? The cinnabar burns, which is so scary."

The dignified princess was bored and addicted to playing with fire. Linglong really didn't know what to say. But Li Chiying was determined to act alone, and Linglong's advice was useless, but instead became an accomplice. She had always been worried about the story of the matter, and helped hide everything with fear. She dreamed that Princess playing with fire could turn back and get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Li Chiying ignored this and held his chin with one hand and said, "What do you mean by the medicine king's words? Is it a ruthless fire? I'm afraid that's not just that. The cauldron in the alchemy room has more than 200 kilograms. The cauldron is used to refine alchemy, so he is not afraid of fire. Even if it is thrown into the fire for three days and three nights, it is difficult to damage it. However, the cauldron was split in half. How can it be done by burning it alone?"

After a pause, she said again: "Did you forget? What did the surviving Taoist boy say? He said that he seemed to hear the sound of firecrackers. The sound was loud and the earth was shaking. He thought the earth dragon had turned over! That night, I remembered clearly that there was no earth dragon turning over at all."

As he said that, he ignored Linglong, walked to the side and sat down, flipped up an ancient book in his hand, read it carefully, his eyes full of curiosity and interest.

The fire in Yuzhen Temple in the past gave the Tang Dynasty a great uneasy.

In order to overcome this uneasy, Li Chiying understood the reason in depth. Unconsciously, uneasy turned into interest and studied it tirelessly.

Shanzhou Shence Military Camp.

Pei Min was naturally extremely strict in the confidentiality measures to produce and develop black gunpowder. He did not dare to be careless. He directly set up a "ban" area in the Shence Military Camp to protect the black gunpowder R&D team.

After Yuan Luqian found the alchemy priests in the local area, Pei Min was not in a hurry to arrange for them to develop black gunpowder. Instead, he asked someone to inquire about their background, confirm their character, and remove all those people with stains and unstable positions and will, so as not to be able to control their integrity in the future.

The same is true for the alchemy priests from the capital. They have also been screened by one party to confirm their character.

If you don’t investigate, you won’t know. Pei Min immediately found out that Ye Fashan, the leader of the Taoist sect, gave him great face, and the people who arranged it were all famous alchemy alchemy masters in Chang'an.

In fact, people in the world have certain misunderstandings about alchemy alchemists, thinking that they are just a group of scammers in the world, or idiots who yearn for becoming immortals. For the sake of immortality, they study taking poisonous gold and stone elixirs, and promote themselves to ascend to the Pure Land early.

In fact, this is not the case.

Of course, there are not a shortage of Xu Fu in this world who cheated and deceived people in the name of immortality.

But the purpose of a real alchemy alchemist is to refine elixirs that can strengthen the body, remove diseases, and prolong life.

Just like Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao, who is not only a doctor, is also an alchemy master. The "Qianjin Yao Prescription" he wrote has many methods of refining elixirs, all of which are his lifelong experience in treating diseases.

As for the things of metal and stone, they are indeed toxic, but after thousands of years of research, there has been gradually developed a theory to remove and weaken metal and stone poison, which can eliminate metal and stone poison and retain the medicinal properties in it.

The "Sulphur Method for the Inner of the Alchemy Classic" written by Sun Simiao is an alchemy technique that can relieve fire and remove poisons based on the results of previous research.

Ye Fashan introduced to Pei Min all those alchemists who truly understand medical principles and are truly proficient in alchemy. They all have a certain status and identity in the Taoist sect in alchemy.

Especially Qingxuzi, who is more famous, was Sun Simiao's Taoist friend in his early years. The two discussed the art of alchemy together. They may not be as good as the King of Medicine in medical skills, but when the alchemy arrived, they were no less than that of the ones.

Pei Min naturally did not know that Buddhism flourished during the Wu Zetian period in the past. With the support of Wu Zetian, Buddhism deserved to be spared to suppress Taoism.

Especially Wu Zetian's fake monk Xue Huaiyi, his favorite thing was to look for Taoist priests all over the streets. When he saw a Taoist priest, he would capture him into a temple and forcibly orphan him. This caused everyone in the Taoist sect to be in danger.

When Li Longji ascended the throne, Taoism prospered, but Taoism emphasized tranquility and inaction, was not good at religious struggles, and did not suppress Buddhism.

Only Ye Fashan fights Buddhism from time to time, which is ultimately a small fight.

Pei Min rebelled against Buddhism and gave him a headache, suppressing Buddhism with one hand, making Ye Fashan regarded him as a confidant and a friend of the Taoist sect, and gave him the greatest support.

Pei Min also thought that Ye Fa was kind to his thoughts and his several encounters back then, and he was enthusiastic about helping each other.

"You are all famous alchemy masters in the Taoist sect. Today I invite you here to give full play to your strengths. Of course, it is not to let you practice some elixirs, but to hope that you can use saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal and other materials to develop black gunpowder that is more powerful than gunpowder!" Pei Min did not conceal his intentions and directly said his intentions.

The six Taoist priests looked at each other, and they all thought they were looking for him to refine elixirs.

It is not uncommon for this wealthy family to build Taoist temples at home and hire alchemists to refine alchemy. Many of them have the same funding sources, but they did not expect that they would develop any black gunpowder.

Qingxuzi was the most experienced among the group and was the first to stand up and said: "I only know how to refine elixirs when I return to my country, but I really don't know how to refine black gunpowder."
