Senior Brother, yes you're right! - Chapter 13: Alchemy!!
“Master, Senior Brother.”
Zhang Feixuan’s lips were trembling. He stammered for a long time but couldn’t utter a word.
Seeing Song Yin’s frown deepening, and the crisis of death looming over everyone’s hearts, Zhang Feixuan revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: “Senior Brother, did you come out to pee too?”
“hm?”
Song Yin looked at them strangely and said, “I’m not out to use the toilet, but why are you carrying bags?”
“I, I…” Zhang Feixuan’s body was shaking, he couldn’t explain what was going on.
In the middle of the night, several people were carrying their bags and were about to leave the sect.
He didn’t know how to answer this question!
Plop!
The tall and strong man knelt down and banged his head on the ground. He was about to collapse.
“Senior Brother, please spare my life, please spare my life! I really can’t stand it anymore, so I want to go down the mountain!”
Finished!
Zhang Feixuan looked desperate. This fool told the truth.
But soon, his eyes became fierce, and his hands behind his back were covered in blood.
Before he could say more.
“It’s unbearable.”
Song Yin, on the other hand, glanced at him and shook his head: “Forget it, it’s as it should be. Since you have a bag on your back, come down the mountain with me.”
“Ah?”
Zhang Feixuan, who was about to take action, blinked, loosened his grip, and was full of confusion.
Senior brother doesn’t blame me?
Song Yin said, “I know that the food is not enough, especially if we share it with those people. If we as monks cannot satisfy our appetite, then I, the eldest brother, have failed in my duty. Now that you want to go down the mountain, don’t you want to go down the mountain to find food for tomorrow’s meal?”
He had been at the foot of the mountain for more than two months, eating the food sent by his master. Although the taste was average, there were a lot of wild vegetables, fruits and meat. He thought this should be the daily expenses of the Golden Immortal Sect.
But the food they were given tonight was a uniform grass dumpling, which was made of strange wild vegetables with a little meat on it. It was hard to swallow but not filling at all.
Song Yin also went to the kitchen to see that in addition to wild vegetables, there were also a little bit of wild beast residue.
Is this what they usually eat in the Golden Immortal Sect?
And there were more than a dozen mouths, and it was still not enough.
Only then did he realize that his master had really done his best. In addition to being moved, he also decided to go down the mountain to find food at this time, so that they would not run out of food in a few days.
.Monks have to eat, and they eat more than ordinary people because they are refining their Qi. Song Yin, who had achieved the Flawless True Body, needed to eat even more. Those grass balls couldn’t fill him up at all and had little nutritional value.
How can you cultivate immortality and seek the Dao if you can’t even eat properly!
Song Yin’s eyes were filled with relief, and he said, “You are thoughtful enough to know that it is easier to carry things with your bag on your back. It seems that I, your senior brother, was not thoughtful enough. Get up, my junior brother. I punished you during the day because I was disappointed with you. Now that you are thinking about the sect, I am very relieved.”
“No, Senior brother, I am.”
The tall and strong disciple didn’t like what he heard and wanted to say more, but Zhang Feixuan pulled him up, put his hand on the back of his neck, and smiled: “Senior Brother, you are really a god. You guessed what we were thinking easily. That’s right, considering that the sect doesn’t have enough food, I want to take a few of our junior brothers down the mountain to pick food, so that I can give others a surprise tomorrow.”
“Junior brother, you are thoughtful. I had the same idea. I was just about to go down the mountain when I met you. So, let’s go down the mountain together.” Song Yin laughed.
“I will follow your orders, Senior brother!” Zhang Feixuan said forcefully.
As Song Yin turned around, he glared at the tall and strong man with murderous intent in his eyes.
The tall and strong man felt the coldness on the back of his neck and pursed his lips tightly.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Feixuan put down his hand and looked at the other people. They also lowered their heads and pursed their lips.
Zhang Feixuan snorted coldly, and then hurriedly chased after him, “Big Brother, wait for Junior Brother.”
Flat-top mountain is just one of the mountains in the Sumeru mountain Range. The whole mountain range was windy. You could hear gusts of wind that almost resembled the cries of ghosts at night.
Song Yin walked through the forest as the mountain wind blew, making the trees hum and his robes flutter. He stopped, brushing aside a patch of shrubs, and found a strange rhizome. He shook his head as he muttered,
“Is it really this hard to find something to eat for in Sumeru?”
Song Yin turned his head and looked at Zhang Feixuan and his five fellow apprentices who were following closely behind.
He searched here for about half an hour, but didn’t find anything edible. However, he did find some wild roots and vegetables, which were similar to the things in the sect.
Zhang Feixuan smiled awkwardly and said, “Senior Brother, you don’t know that our Sumeru mountain range was originally a desolate place. Those who practice Taoism here just want to have some peace and quiet.”
They lived here in order to have a quiet place where no one would come to kill them.
If a mountain range was truly a place filled with natural resources or had many wild animals, it won’t be desolate, as people who want to make a living will go there. When mortals gather, those annoying righteous people will also follow.
The reason they could live here in peace was because the Sumeru range was mountainous and difficult to travel through, and there was nothing there.
“Whatever.”
Song Yin picked the rhizome, handed it to Zhang Feixuan, and said, “It seems that the only way is to use alchemy.”
Zhang Feixuan took the root and said in surprise, “What do you mean, Senior Brother?”
“At present, there is no food that can be cultivated, and there is no meat. If we want to be full and get nutrition from these roots and wild vegetables, we can only extract the substances in them and refine them into pills. Only in this way can the people in the sect have sufficient nutrition.”
Song Yin looked around, picked another flower, put it to his nose and smelled it, then handed it to Zhang Feixuan, “This flower is spicy and can stimulate blood. Not bad, take it.”
Zhang Feixuan opened his mouth, but finally took the flower and put it into his bag.
“Brother, have you learned all the alchemy techniques?” He couldn’t help but ask in the end.
“I have the potential to become a great immortal. My master refined my body into a flawless true body. Although it is not recorded in the Golden Immortal Grand Pill Sutra, my master personally admitted that this is the highest achievement in the practice. So I thought that I could identify all medicines and poisons naturally. Now I see that it is indeed true.”
Song Yin showed a smug look, and picked up another grass fruit and handed it to Zhang Feixuan.
“As for the alchemy method, of course I know it. Since I have a flawless true body, I think it is natural that I can memorize everything I read. Therefore, I have memorized the Golden Immortal Grand Pill Sutra by heart. However, I’m currently only at the Battle Strength level. Though I can use some techniques, I haven’t reached the level of ‘Entering skill’ yet. For the alchemy fire, you have to help me, Junior Brother.”
“Oh, yes.” Zhang Feixuan agreed stupidly.
Do you even hear what you’re saying?
Flawless true body, photographic memory, mastery of alchemy?
He’d been training here for years, and aside from being familiar with the blood-gathering technique, he barely knew anything else and hadn’t even tasted a human pill. He was basically just a tool for gathering materials.
You have only been a student for one day!
The legend says that one day is equal to one year for those who become immortals but let’s be real—you’re not even an immortal. . Even if you are the reincarnation of an immortal, one year is not enough for you to achieve this, right?
