Chapter 4: The Peak of the Lone Staff Peak Purple and the Heart Cave

"But... I have martial arts, and the inheritance of disciples... It has become a problem again. I, Shang Huaming, is a small sect. I, without absolute strength, cannot compare with the big sect, and cannot compete with the big sect for disciples. Compared with other inequality sects, I, Shang Huaming, not only has strict standards for selecting disciples, but also lacks spiritual herbs and elixirs in terms of... treating disciples. In this regard, compared with the wealth and many disciples of Wandu Sect, I, Shang Huaming, is indeed inferior to me!"

Then, he glanced at Gong Mingwei and the other two, then looked at Xiao Hua and said kindly: "Although Huanghualing is a spiritual vein, it is far from the real blessing of the world. I have been working hard to plant spiritual herbs and refine pills for many years, but... I have never achieved anything before picking up Xiao Hua. After Xiao Hua came, I specially managed the medicine garden, so I had the leisure to study pills. It was considered a bit of gain. But if I say that like Wandu Gate, I would take out some Peiyuan Pills to improve your magic power and realm, I still have no power!"

"Disciple... is not worthy..." Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao were both ashamed. Xiao Yuehong also asked them to take care of the medicine garden, but... they only hoped to practice the mind method and were not caring about other things. Of course, they made a mess, and in the end they let Xiao Yuehong do it himself.

"It's nothing wrong to concentrate on practicing the mind method. Everyone has their own fate. Even if Xiao Hua can't practice the mind method... he can't practice it. It's better to let him take care of the medicine garden!" Xiao Yuehong waved his hand and said.

"Well, the leader is right!" Xiao Hua knew Xiao Yuehong's painstaking efforts. He had also practiced Shang Huaming's mental method and knew the problems he encountered in practicing the mental method. He nodded in agreement. However, Xiao Hua asked again: "By the way, Master, you just said that you need to refine the Peiyuan Pill. Is there any spiritual herb in our garden?"

"Oh, the main medicine of Peiyuan Dan is the saccharin fruit. Although it is rare, I, Shang Huaming, have certainly some in the medicine garden."

"That's amazing. The disciples have also seen the Yuanguo.... Although there are not many, there are not many. Why does the leader... not refine the Yuan Pei Dan?" Xiao Hua asked.

"Hehe, you only know one thing but not the other, Xiao Hua." Xiao Yuehong twisted his beard and smiled: "Refining alchemy is a great science, and it is as important as practicing the mind method. Without deep attainments, you will never be able to refine successful elixirs!"

"Being a teacher... has some attainments, so the Wuliu alchemy refined has extraordinary effect. Only in Yishi people buy it... and refining Peiyuan Dan not only requires more sophisticated alchemy techniques, but also... it also requires a longer-lasting fruit..."

"Ah???" Xiao Hua woke up and asked again: "Then... I'm afraid the Yuanguo in our garden has been around for ten years, isn't it enough?"

"Where is ten years enough? I'm afraid it's twenty years or thirty years not enough!" Xiao Yuehong said with a wry smile.

"That's how long?" Xiao Hua exclaimed: "Who can plant it?"

"Haha, poor kid, the spiritual herbs in our medicine garden are only used to refine ordinary elixirs. The spiritual herbs for refining Peiyuan Dan are all special techniques, planted in special places, or picked in places where there are never people in the mountains and lakes! The Yuancao fruit of Peiyuan Dan is not too harsh. The Linglong grass used to refine the foundation-building pill will take more than three hundred years of medicine age..."

Xiao Hua was dumbfounded when he heard this. Three hundred years... It seemed that the ages of the five people in front of him were about to grow. This... Linglong grass is really not something that ordinary people can plant!

"So, there is an old saying in the cultivation world of Xiaoyu Continent that it is easy to refine Qi, but hard to find a foundation building! That's it!" Xiao Yuehong sighed and said, "From the late stage of Qi refining to the early stage of foundation building, the true qi needed is not what you can provide for the usual tempering of spiritual energy. You can only use external objects to increase the true qi in the meridians in the body to promote your cultivation to break through the shackles of the realm!"

"There are many kinds of external objects like this, and taking the foundation-building pill is the most common and effective one!"

"Master... the Linglong grass of the Foundation Building Pill has been used for three hundred years, and it is really hard to find. Can it be... there is something else?" Zhang Qingxiao became energetic after taking the Wuli Pill. When he heard that the Master talked about Foundation Building, he felt even more itchy and asked.

"Oh, Linglong grass is the spiritual herb of heaven and earth. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and grows for hundreds of years. It contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in herbs. With other spiritual herbs attached, the foundation-building pills refined have a peaceful medicinal properties and the spiritual energy enters the body slowly. It is just that I have followed the way of justice. For me who practice the truth, it is the most authentic and will not have any special side effects. Other external objects, such as taking the rare and old spiritual herbs directly, may be somewhat toxic and may damage the meridians without other auxiliary medicines... Just like an ordinary person, if he eats fried dishes, it is of course delicious and delicious. If he eats them raw, the taste may be bad, and even diarrhea will be diarrhea!"

"Hahaha~" Xiao Yuehong's explanation was very easy to understand, which made Zhang Qingxiao almost laugh out loud!

"The head of the sect...you said you eat vegetables, then... are there anyone eating meat?" Xiao Hua next to him also asked with a smile.

"This..." Xiao Yuehong pondered, looked at Xiao Hua, and said, "It was recorded in the classics in the sect... It was a long time ago... it was... "

"Ah? Is there really a meat-eating person? How do you eat it!" The four of them looked at Xiao Yuehong in surprise.

"It is said that not only us humans can practice in this world, but many creatures, such as wild beasts, trees, etc., also have their own methods of practicing. Since spiritual herbs can be refined into pills, those wild beasts can naturally be... "

"Ah???" Xiao Hua heard this, his mouth grew wide and seemed to have... thought of something!

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuehongqi said: "This is also recorded in the sect's classics. I have never seen it with my own eyes!"

"Oh, nothing, nothing!" Although Xiao Hua's eyes were a little surprised and excited, he still said nothing.

"It is said that some people can also use the inner alchemy practiced by monsters when building foundations, and they can also obtain a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy from the inner alchemy for their own realm improvement. However, this heaven and earth spiritual energy is tempered by monsters. Unlike those tempered by me, humans, it is very easy to have problems... So over time, it will gradually be lost..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuehong looked around Huanghualing with regret and said, "It's a pity that I Huanghualing... except for trees, there are no rare things. Even if I want to get a monster for my master and get an inner alchemy to improve your realm, that's not possible!"

After hearing this, Xiao Hua's face suddenly appeared with a strange look.

"Okay, I won't say much. You are just the tenth level of Qi refining. There is still a lot of distance from the twelfth level of Qi refining. Just wait for you to reach the peak of Qi refining. I will tell you the matter carefully. If you talk about it at this time, it will become a burden!" Xiao Yuehong waved his hand and said, "Wait... and clean up, and go to the Jingxin Cave of the Gubing Peak Peak! Xiao Hua, you go... urge them..."

"Yes, the head!" Xiao Hua bowed and bowed.

Xiao Yuehong turned around and wanted to go, but suddenly remembered something again, frowned and asked, "Also, you just said that there were several nine levels of Qi refining in the Wandu Sect, and one of the eleventh level of Qi refining. You... only three of the 10th level of Qi refining... why did you escape so easily?"

"This..." When Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao heard this, their faces changed color. Xiao Xianrui lowered her head slightly, and a hint of blush appeared on her face.

"Master, we are still relaxed. You haven't seen that the disciples are so injured?" Zhang Qingxiao said with a tough forehead.

"Stop talking nonsense, say it quickly, it's only a 200-day thought!" Xiao Yuehong sneered.

"Master...is that's it." Seeing that the master was really angry again, Gong Mingwei glanced at Xiao Xianrui and said, "When we were buying Peacock Fan for our junior sister, we met Jiang Fan, the young leader of Baicao Sect. It was because he was against us that... the price of Peacock Fan was raised so high!"

"Pick up important things..." Xiao Yuehong glared at him and shouted.

"Yes, Master, actually...we were at a disadvantage when we were fighting with Baidu Sect, but... Jiang Fan didn't know why, but he actually led his disciples to help us, so... we didn't suffer any major losses!"

"Baicao Sect? Jiang Jiantong? It seems that he has only met him a few times, and there is no deep friendship!" Xiao Yuehong was puzzled, but he did not notice Xiao Xianrui's blushing and the unnatural faces on Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao!

"Forget it, even if I, Shang Huaming, owed Baicao Sect a favor, I will repay them when there is a suitable opportunity!" Xiao Yuehong waved his hand, Gong Mingwei and Zhang Qingxiao were both relaxed, but Xiao Xianrui looked a little disappointed!

Guzhang Peak is a relatively remote mountain peak north of Huanghualing. There are no adjacent and close peaks around it. Moreover, the climate here is different from other peaks. Not only is the wind very loud, but the temperature is much lower even if it is much lower. If Gong Mingwei and the other two were cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining, they would be difficult to easily climb Guzhang Peak!

However, even so, when the three of them entered the Jingxin Cave of Guzhang Peak, they were all surprised by the coldness in the cave and the cold wind that blew in from time to time. "This..." Xiao Xianrui lifted up her true energy and flowed through her meridians, constantly pushing out the biting cold, and sighed: "Is this... a place where people are alone?"

"It's so hard~ Junior sister, we... have to stay here for a hundred days!" Zhang Qingxiao screamed.

"Two senior brothers, the head of the sect asked you to come here... I'm afraid it's not a different meaning!" Xiao Hua followed the three of them into Jingxin Cave. He had never heard of it, and had never been here before. He also shrank his neck and said with a smile.

"Xiao Hua... You are sitting and talking without a pain in your back. You are not thinking about your mistakes in this pure heart cave. Otherwise... let's change it? Let's see if I can also say such sarcastic words?" Zhang Qingxiao said angrily.
