Chapter Twenty-Five: A Female Official's Visit to Exchange Books for Dan

After the retreat, Zhang Yan condensed the two qi in the middle of the night, when the sun came and went, so that they could return to the Yuan in one, and with the help of "taking advantage of the moon and Yujue", he made extremely rapid progress.

In addition, he also deliberately set aside an hour every day to condense the "Destiny Jade Gui", this jade pendant can resist three magic weapon attacks every time it is refined, and in Zhang Yan's opinion, the value is higher than that of ordinary magic weapons. As for the rest of the time, he used it to practice the inner technique.

Once this method is cultivated, he can identify many medicinal properties and pharmacology without using residual jade, not only that, even if the immortal grass spirit is deeply rooted in the ground, as long as he passes by nearby, he can identify it, which is the most easy to use.

He secretly thought to himself in his heart, if he was no longer in the Cangcang faction one day, he would also rely on this skill to refine the pill by himself, and he didn't have to fake the hands of others.

After cultivating like this for about a hundred days, he had fused seventy-five mouthfuls of turbid qi into one, plus what he had refined before, he now had seventy-eight mouthfuls of spiritual qi in his body, and he still needed to refine three mouthfuls to break through the barrier. One breath reaches the third realm of the Ming Qi period.

Just as he was about to practice in one go, he suddenly heard the golden bell ringing outside, and he retreated in a state of concentration.

Opening the door of the quiet room and walking to the outer room, Luo Xiao, who was waiting in the corridor, came up and said, "The youngest son of the lord of the Ji country, Zhen Wang Ji Zhang, sent an envoy here, and now Biyunxuan is waiting outside." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Yan didn't expect this Ji Zhang to come to him, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Everyone knows that Ji Jiuyan, the lord of the water country, intends to abolish the East Palace and establish King Zhen as the crown prince, if nothing goes wrong, he must be the next lord of the country, and the protagonist of this Danhui is this person, but he can't be easily offended and leave this person outside.

Luo Xiao obviously knew the priorities, so he deliberately told himself, cast a hint of approval at her at the moment, and then took out the card talisman to disperse the ban on the island.

I saw that in the lake, more than 50 people stood on a huge lotus leaf, and the first person was dressed in the official uniform of the Dangyu Water Kingdom, but his face was like a peach blossom, and his posture was graceful.

It turned out to be a female officer!

Zhang Yan's expression moved, the head of the Kaicang faction likes to use female cultivators, and this Ji Jiuyan also likes to use female officials, which makes the water country compete to follow suit, and it seems that this King Zhen is no exception.

Seeing that the ban had been opened, the female official and his party set foot on the island, followed by four tray maids, all the way to the front, she first glanced at Zhang Yan, and then smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhen has an edict, I heard that the envoy Zhang Yan Dan is skillful, and he specially gave a dazzling Luo Dao robe." ”

She pronounced clearly, her voice was loud but not mixed, a little dull, but she was very comfortable to listen to.

ordered someone to bring a dark purple Taoist robe to Zhang Yan, and she said: "This garment can avoid water and fire, block hardware, gather qi and calm the nerves, and please accept it from Zhang Daoyou." ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand and motioned for Luo Xiao to accept it, almost every Danshi Water King Clan who came here had a reward, so he was not surprised.

Subsequently, he asked Luo Xiao to present hundreds of spirit shells as a presentation according to the rules.

How do you know that the female official smiled and refused to accept it, Zhang Yan thought she was too little at first, but he heard a maid next to him say: "My family is not rare for you to be a few Lingbei." ”

The female official Feng rolled her eyes, scolded her, and said, "Wan'er, don't be abrupt, Zhang Daoyou is the descendant of Master Zhou, how can it be rude?"

The waitress whispered, "Yes."

Zhang Yan saw that this female official seemed to have other things to do here, so he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what this official is called?,

The female official also returned the salute generously, saying: "Zhang Daoyou doesn't need to be polite, in Xia Zhen Tea, the title of Shangguan is not acceptable, just call me Daoyou." ”

Since the other party didn't talk about the official position of the Water Country, Zhang Yan was also happy to do so, and said sideways: "Zhen Daoyou, please come into Xuanzhong to talk about it." ”

Zhen Ming stretched out her jade hand like a green onion, waved it gently, and said, "No need, I came here today, one is for official business, and the other is to ask Taoist friends in private." ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I don't know when, fellow Daoist, please speak." “

Zhen Ming sighed: "Xia Guan has a younger brother, because the cultivation of Xuangong was too radical a month ago, resulting in the backlash of evil fire, devouring the internal organs, and needing to use Lu Yu Dan to regulate, but although this pill is easy to refine, but in a furnace, only the one with the most medicinal power is useful, and the rest are useless to take more. ”

Zhang Yan nodded, understanding the other party's intention, it turned out that Ren Cai was promoting his reputation. ,

Lu Yu Dan is extremely famous in the Dan, can lower the heart fire, remove the poisonous gas, quench the veins, practice the "strength" of the people sometimes too brave and diligent, will be attacked by the internal and external fire, it will lead to a dull mind, short temper, killing people at every turn, very difficult to control, if not well adjusted, it is likely to lose the mind.

However, he felt a little strange, there were so many Dan masters in the Water Country, could it be that no one could distinguish the medicinal properties? Why bother asking for it? There must be other intentions in this.

Zhang Yan said secretly: "I heard that this King Zhen likes alchemy and is almost obsessed, could it be that he heard my reputation and used this to take the test for me?"

Thinking of this, he perked up and asked, "Where is Dan?"

Zhen Ming said: "I have brought it with me, Wan'er, and I haven't presented it yet." ”

Wan'er replied and brought up a crane copper stove in her hand.

After Luo Xiao stepped forward to take it, Wan'er suddenly pouted and said: "As soon as this furnace is opened, it needs to be taken within an hour, you don't have the ability to brag nonsense, you don't have to spoil this furnace of pills, and you have to make Erlang suffer in vain." ”

Zhang Yan's expression remained unchanged, but the hand that was about to be stretched out was put down again, and he stood there quietly without moving.

Zhen Ming raised her eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were awe-inspiring, and she said coldly: "Wan'er, you slapped your mouth ten times." ”

Wan'er was stunned for a moment, showing a look of grievance, but she didn't dare to resist, raised Bai Shengsheng's palm, and slapped her cheek repeatedly, and when she stopped, a trace of blood was already pouring out of the corner of her mouth.

Zhen Ming turned her eyes to Zhang Yan and said, "The lack of discipline in the lower girl made Daoist friends laugh." ”

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, then reached out to take the medicine stove, stretched out his hand to open it, the lid of the furnace just opened, only to see a white gas rising, a fragrance straight to the end of his nose, he squinted and looked at it, after a while, pointed to one of the pills and said: "This is it." ”

Zhen Ming glanced at Zhang Yan in surprise, and instructed a maid beside her, "Take it and take it with Erlang, go and go back quickly." ”

The maid didn't dare to slack off, took the pill with the prepared haode silk handkerchief and went out, and hurriedly returned to the lotus leaf of the lake, where it was faintly seen that there was a young man surrounded in the middle, his ankles and wrists were shackled, and he struggled when he saw someone feeding the medicine.

Presumably this person is Zhen Ming's brother, but he didn't expect to bring it, Zhang Yan didn't want to see more, and he had nothing to do for a while, so he stood in place and chatted with Zhen Ming.

After talking about it, Zhen Ming was very surprised, this Zhang Yanyuan thought it was just a Dan master, but he didn't expect that this person was not only familiar with the classics, but also all kinds of miscellaneous anecdotes, and he didn't feel bored at all when talking to this person, and he didn't feel bored when he talked about sex, and after saying a few words, the waitress turned around and reported: "Erlang was relieved after taking it, and he had fallen asleep." ”

Zhen Ming's face was happy, "Zhang Daoyou is really a talent in the world." ”

Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Don't dare, it's a fluke." ”

Zhen Ming pondered for a while, looked at Zhang Yan, and said: "With the wisdom of Taoist friends, I came to Danhui to understand the meaning of the lord of the country." ”

Zhang Yan glanced at the other party and bowed his head slightly.

Zhen Ming seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "But King Zhen naturally will not let you Taoist friends suffer, this time I agree that Yingyun Beichang will be owned by the Cangcang faction from now on, and Sanbo must not provoke this anymore, in addition, Daoyou and King Zhen are also considered to be fellow Daoists, I don't know what your friends want, and the prince will try his best to satisfy them." ”

Ji Jiuyan this time is to use the Danhui to make a name for King Zhen Ji Zhang, so that the world will know that he is the next lord of the country, and the "Yuan Jin Ming Fruit Book" is the method of practicing "strength", and a discerning person can naturally see that the only one who wins this book can only be Ji Zhang.

But since it is a Dan meeting, you can't do too much, others come to support you, you also need to give others some benefits, and it also happens to use wealth to meet the hearts of the world's peers, this Dan will pass, and the position of Prince Zhen will be able to sit firmly.

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If you can, I want to borrow the "Yuan Jin Life Fruit Book" to take a look." ”

Zhen Ming didn't expect Zhang Yan to make this request, first stunned, and then surprised: "Daoyou is a human cultivator, with all due respect, it is useless to look at this book." ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "I am not looking at this book for cultivation, but only to solve a doubt in my heart, but I will not take it in vain, my teacher has a bottle of pill, called 'Transformation Pill', all demons and the like, as long as the merit is completed, take this pill, you will be able to transform into a shell,"

"Oh?" Zhen Ming's eyes lit up, in the water country, even the descendants of the royal family may not be able to transform one by one, you must know that only after the transformation can you practice the advanced method, which is similar to the cultivation of the human vein, if this bottle of transformation pill is really as Zhang Yan said, the value to the royal family is simply immeasurable. ,

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to return to King Zhen." ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It should be so." ”

Ming Zhen seemed quite anxious, and after saying a few more words, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Zhang Yan didn't know what to think, first whispered a few words to Luo Xiao, and then stood distracted for a while, and then turned back to the Water Pavilion to meditate.

He thought that the exchange of Dan for books would drag on for at least ten days and a half months, and it would be repeated at least two or three times, but he didn't expect that that night, Zhen Ming would visit again.

After introducing her into the inner room, Zhen Ming took out a book made of gold, and said: "King Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that there was this elixir, so he urged me to take this book and take a look at it with Taoist friends, and asked Taoist friends to make an oath that after reading this book, they must not disclose half of the content of this book to the second person." ”

Zhang Yan looked at the Taoist book in his hand, he didn't expect that this book had already reached King Zhen's hands, but it was so easy to take it out and show it to himself?

Even he felt a sense of wonder in his heart at the moment.

No wonder it is said that this king of Zhen likes to do ridiculous things, and regards Dan as his fate, and it seems that he is really happy, so he doesn't care about anything.

Looking at Zhenming's words and deeds, it seems that this book was also secretly brought out, but isn't this a good thing for yourself?

He immediately made an oath, Zhen Ming's expression relaxed, and he handed the book to Zhang Yan, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please read it quickly, I still need to bring this book back earlier." ”

Zhang Yan nodded, flipped through it, and with his memory at the moment, he could naturally memorize the content after reading it once.

After a while, he put down the book, took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and handed it to Zhen Ming, "King Zhen is also an expert in this way, and you can know the authenticity at a glance." ”

Zhen Ming took it and went away happily.

After this woman left the island, Zhang Yan stood on the edge of the water pavilion railing, looking at the vast smoke and waves in front of him, "Luo Daoyou, is there anything different in the city recently?"

Luo Xiao replied: "Daoist friends don't mention that I really haven't paid attention to it before, but I have investigated during the day, and found that in addition to the disciples of various sects and overseas demons, there are still a large number of advanced cultivators gathered in one place, and their behavior is quite suspicious. ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and sighed: "King Zhen acts frivolously and recklessly, not the appearance of a human king, I am afraid that things will change in the Danhui." ”

He heard that the original crown prince of the water country had been established for a hundred years, and now he rashly said that if he didn't fight at this time, he was afraid that he would have no chance in the future. Whether it is Ji Jiuyan's intention to take this opportunity to sweep away Donggong Shili, or Donggong's unwilling to fail Jedi counterattack, this place is not a place to stay for a long time.

However, now that his goal has been achieved, the water country sees that there may be civil strife, and the water country is inconvenient to enter and exit from all sides, so if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave.

Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, Luo Daoyou, I will leave as soon as possible." ”
