Chapter 289: Guigu Danshi, Outer Gate Elder
"Yuan Magnetic Rainy Season?!"
Zhang Fan looked out the window in a haze, thoughtful.
In fact, he really wanted to ask in detail, what is the effect of this Yuan Magnetic Rain, and what does it have to do with the alchemy he wants to learn?
It's a pity that these can't be asked, if he dares to ask directly, Xu Fan will never know the world, and he will definitely doubt his origin.
This is different from the ones asked before, the local products of Broken Mountain City, outsiders don't know the truth, Xu Fan is also happy to explain a lot, but Yuan Magnet is all over the entire inner world, it is not unique to them in Broken Mountain City, no matter where Zhang Fan comes from, as long as it is within the scope of the center of the earth, it is impossible not to know it.
In a moment, the heavy rain outside the window became heavier and heavier, and a continuous roar sounded from overhead, like rolling thunder, and kept spreading into the distance.
Visible to the naked eye, the thick and incomparably bright light spread out like a spider's web, and the entire heaven and earth changed color, and under the fiery red luster, it was suddenly plated with a layer of silver white.
Under the illumination of this silver-white light, Zhang Fan vaguely saw a little bit of starlight-like things rising from various cities, among which the direction of Broken Mountain City in the distance rose the most, and the other eight attached cities were less.
With Zhang Fan's eyesight, even if it was such a heavy rain, the silver light in the sky could not hide his vision, and at the same time as these points of light flashed out, he could see their essence through countless brilliance.
At first sight, Zhang Fan's eyes were condensed, and at the same time, he became more interested in these Yuan Magnetic Rain.
Among the points of light, there are all kinds of magic weapons, they are different shapes, but one thing is the same, that is, they are all special magic weapons used for dressing.
On the top of each magic weapon, there are faintly emerging things like a whirlpool, and the dense rain around it also suddenly emptied with the appearance of the whirlpool, and then it was continuously filled by the sky above, and between the empty and the surplus, a huge amount of rain flowed into the root of the whirlpool, that is, the opening of the magic weapon.
Obviously, these are all used to collect this rain of Yuan Magnetism.
The number of light points also shows the strength of each city, which can be seen from Xu Fan's slightly envious gaze.
What he was looking at was the direction of Broken Mountain City.
The number of magic weapons vacated there is the largest, and it is really densely packed like a dot, even if it is concentrated in the other eight annex cities, it cannot be compared.
Xu Fan was beside him, no matter how curious Zhang Fan was, it was impossible for him to probe out his divine sense to investigate these Yuan Magnetic Rain, but fortunately, there was a master by his side.
The ascetic people didn't need Zhang Fan to speak, almost when the rain of Yuan Magnetism appeared, his body was about to move, and after those receiving magic weapons floated into the air, he couldn't bear it anymore.
A powerful divine consciousness emerged from the Nine Flame Dragon Balls, and immediately disappeared as if it were gone, if it weren't for the Dragon Balls being in Zhang Fan's body, he wouldn't even be able to feel the traces of these divine senses.
Even now, he could only vaguely feel something poking out of his body, speeding through the rain outside, and then retracted.
Zhang Fan was not at all worried that the actions of the bitter Daoist would make Xu Fan aware of it, let alone him, even if he was the Sect Master of Jiedan, if he didn't pay full attention, it would be impossible to find any abnormalities.
"Ku Lao, what's wrong?"
On the surface, he was dealing with Xu Fan, but Zhang Fan's mind had sunk, and he secretly said.
"Good stuff!"
"In those rains, there is the power of metamagnetism. ”
"Although there is only a trace of it, as long as it is much more concentrated, it can still isolate enough geocentric magnetism. ”
The voice of the bitter Taoist did not make him wait for long, and it sounded quickly, even with his old man's city, and there was a faint sense of excitement.
"The rain carries the power of metamagnetism?"
Although I had a premonition when I saw the action of those magic weapons to collect the rain, once it was confirmed, I couldn't help but be taken aback.
The water vapor in the Yuan Magnetic Cloud is naturally formed by the transpiration of those underground rivers, but it is impossible for ordinary water to absorb the Yuan Magnetic Qi on it no matter what, and the composition of this groundwater is also unique.
These are all secondary, Zhang Fan only has a slight thought in his heart, so he doesn't take it to heart, the key is still in this Yuan Magnetic Qi.
Geocentric Yuan Magnetism, even if it is the cultivation of ascetic people, is not an ordinary thing.
After all, if you want to collect it, you have to first find the weak point of the earth's crust, and then break into it, and it is not easy to collect, and with this method, the collected Yuan Magnetic Qi is also very limited, and it is difficult to meet a large number of needs.
But it's different here.
These almost endless rains contain a huge amount of geocentric magnetism, not to mention that according to Xu Fan, this is the "rainy season", so it can be known that this rain will definitely not stop for a while, with a little patience, you can collect enough to cultivate the required amount of magic weapons.
The magic weapon with Yuan Magnetism, which is extremely rare on the surface, is by no means something that ordinary Sect Masters can peep at.
"Blessed are you, boy. ”
Thinking of this, the voice of the bitter Taoist couldn't help but bring a little sour taste.
His previous magic weapons were naturally far more than this level, but they were all skillfully seized after achieving Yuanying, and he didn't have such a good thing when he was in the Dan period.
"Ku Lao, you said it was bad. ”
"It should be miserable. ”
Zhang Fan was secretly happy at first, and then thought of something, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"How?"
The ascetic asked puzzled.
"Ku Lao, don't you understand when you look out the window?"
Zhang Fan pouted without a trace, and the target was all kinds of magic weapons that were still floating and sinking in mid-air.
"Hahaha, too!"
The bitter man immediately understood, and laughed a little gloatingly.
Obviously, it is impossible for the immortal cultivators here to ignore the effect of these geocentric element magnets, and those who release magic weapons are obviously all Jie Dan Grandmasters in the Broken Mountain City area, and the reason why they do this is needless to say.
In other words, if there is a conflict with the grandmaster here, their magic weapon will be enough for him to drink a pot.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan didn't plan to make trouble now, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
The amount of rain in this Yuan Magnetic Rain was quite large, and in just a few moments, those magic weapons fell one after another like dumplings, obviously absorbing enough.
At this time, Xu Fan also closed his gaze out of the window, sighed and said, "When will our Hehuan Sect also have so many Sect Masters!"
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and did not pick up.
How can it be?
If the Hehuan Sect had so many grandmasters, wouldn't it be able to compete with the Faxiang Sect in addition to the high-end weakness of the Yuan Infant Stage?
Xu Fan also smiled after speaking, knowing that it was whimsical.
Then he was refreshed again, and said, "Brother Dao, don't you want to learn the Water Yun Dan Dao?"
"This is a great opportunity!"
Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, showed an interested look and said, "What do you say?"
"Brother Dao, you know, this Yuan Magnetic Rainy Season will last for half a year!"
"The ghost knows!" muttered secretly in his heart, but Zhang Fan's face showed a look of clarity, and he nodded and said, "Exactly, Brother Xian, tell me in detail." ”
"Our alchemy master of Broken Mountain City, Master Guigu starts alchemy every year after the Yuanci rainy season, and when the time comes, Brother Dao can go and participate, and he can gain some gains. ”
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, Zhang Fan's expression moved, and then asked, "Can you participate and observe casually?"
This is seriously contrary to the common sense he knows, you must know that the alchemy of Danshi is a very private matter, not to mention outsiders, even if it is a personal disciple, it is difficult for descendants to get such an opportunity.
"Is it ......?"
"There are still ancient traditions preserved here?"
After asking that sentence, Zhang Fan was a little apprehensive in his heart, feeling that he had said the wrong thing and showed his feet.
After all, as far as he knew, in ancient times, when refining pills, disciples were not allowed to observe, and even invited one or two friends to participate, which was a solemn and sacred thing.
This can be imagined from the situation he saw when he explored the Hongyue Daojun Cave Mansion in the past.
I was excited for a while, but I didn't think about it deeply.
Just when Zhang Fan looked at Xu Fan's eyes a little nervously, he didn't see any different colors, only to see him wave his hand and say, "Brother Dao doesn't know anything." ”
"Ghost Valley Grandmaster Alchemy, but it is different from ordinary people. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart fell to the ground, and he understood that at this point, it was the same as above the surface, and it was the same aura environment, and the immortal cultivators had made the same choice after all.
The thoughts in his heart turned sharply, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face, and Xu Fan didn't care, and said to himself.
Speaking of which, this also has to do with a peculiarity.
In the broken mountain city, there is a spring, called "Water Yun Ling Spring", whenever the Yuan magnetic rainy season is over, I don't know what mysterious power effect, this water Yun Ling Spring is to burst out, from the usual dry to a wave of almost endless springs.
This spring water is naturally not ordinary, especially extremely helpful for the refining of mineral pills.
In the early years, it was precisely because of this spiritual spring that Broken Mountain City's research on Dan Dao would be one step ahead of other important cities.
Although this matter is not known to everyone, it is not a secret in this Broken Mountain City area, so Xu Fan said it without care.
Now, the Dao of Mineral Dan has developed to an extremely high level, and this spiritual spring is almost useless for the study of Dan Dao, but in other aspects, it is still very helpful.
For example, large-scale elixir refining.
Half a year later, the rainy season stopped, and when the spiritual spring broke out, it was the time for Broken Mountain City to refine the elixir once a year.
How many years have you used this spiritual spring, and in the Broken Mountain City, you have already built a large-scale pill room, and you can use the help of the spiritual spring to refine the spirit pill on a large scale.
This method of refining the elixir naturally can't be too high-grade goods, generally speaking, it is the elixir used in the foundation building period.
And don't look at this kind of refining, there are a lot of people with the surname Cheng Dan at a time, but the difficulty of controlling it is also extremely high.
The most basic requirement is that a great master of the Dan Dao is in charge of the overall situation.
In this regard, Xu Fan is the most qualified Guigu Danshi in his mouth.
In the Broken Mountain City, this person's Dan Dao cultivation is second to none, and those primordial old monsters are naturally unmeasurable, but except for them, the Guigu Dan Master recognizes the second, and no one dares to call it the first.
This is not enough, a large number of monks above the foundation building stage are needed to assist in controlling it in order to control such a large-scale alchemy method.
In this way, there is also the opportunity in Xu Fan's mouth.
First, there is indeed a shortage of manpower. Although the foundation building monk is not a great master, he is not a cabbage, how easy is it to gather hundreds of people at once?
The second is to give local monks the opportunity to exercise and learn.
Therefore, every time at this time, in the Shui Yun Dan Room of Broken Mountain City, a large number of foundation building monks will be recruited to help with alchemy, even if it is a foreign monk, in addition to not being able to participate, it is allowed to observe from the sidelines.
"It's a pity!"
"Those elixirs are all going to be sold to other important cities, otherwise how many elixirs should be refined once a year!"
"If we Broken Mountain City Immortal Cultivators digest it ourselves, our overall strength will definitely be further improved. ”
Facing Xu Fan's sigh, Zhang Fan just smiled disapprovingly, without an interface.
He only saw one aspect, but he didn't notice that if Broken Mountain City didn't do this, not to mention the hostility and covetousness of other important cities, it would not be easy to obtain other materials such as magic weapons alone.
Along the way before, although it was just a quick look, Zhang Fan still peeked at some clues.
For example, things like magic weapons, this Broken Mountain City is quite dependent on the neighboring Chongxuan City, and there are many magic weapons produced by Chongxuan City on the market, even if it is not mentioned that Chongxuan City will not export magic weapons on such a large scale after refusing to sell the elixir, just paying the cost of so many magic weapons is not something that the monks of Broken Mountain City can afford.
Not to mention the materials required for alchemy.
This is no different from the principle of surplus and deficit in the circulation of goods in the mortal world.
After a little hesitation, Zhang Fan frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Xian just said that foreign monks can only observe and not participate in it?"
In this case, although it is rare, but after all, it is a step behind, and the gap between seeing it in the eyes and doing it yourself is still very large.
In this regard, Zhang Fan is somewhat long.
"Hahaha......"
"What's this?"
"As long as Brother Dao joins my Hehuan Sect, he will naturally be regarded as a monk in this city. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Fan's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Zhang Fan with a bright look, and his longing was undoubtedly revealed.
"How?"
"As long as Brother Dao joins our sect, all problems can be solved. ”
"Join the Hehuan Sect?"
Zhang Fan frowned, he really didn't expect this young man to hit this idea.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Fan still shook his head, it was not what he wanted to be restrained, not to mention, after staying in the Faxiang Sect for so many years, he was really a little disdainful of a small sect like the Hehuan Sect.
"I'm afraid that I will live up to my brother's kindness. ”
"The sky is the quilt, the earth is the seat, where to go, it is used to being a brother, but I don't like to be bound by the sect. ”
God knows that a day ago, he was still a core disciple of the three major sects in Qinzhou, but now he pretended to be an idle cloud and wild crane without even blinking an eyelid.
"This ......"
Xu Fan scratched his head in distress when he heard this, and after a while, he suddenly patted his head and said, "There is!"
"Brother Dao, why don't you come to our Hehuan Sect to be an elder of the outer sect?"
"Elder of the Outer Gate?"
Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, he didn't want this kid to think about it for a long time, and he actually came up with such a method.
The so-called outer door elders are more of an employment relationship, equivalent to the status of a guest secretary, and generally speaking, it is closer to a form of transaction that is not complementary enough.
It is half of his own people, but he usually does not need to listen to the orders of the sect, but at the critical moment, when Keqing is needed, the sect pays a certain price, and Keqing makes some efforts.
As for whether to help or not, it depends on Keqing's own wishes, which can be said to be an extremely free position.
Such a position is generally arranged for some friends of the sect, or people with special relationships or even some specialties.
In fact, speaking of which, in a small sect like Hehuan Sect with only one or two Sect Masters, an immortal cultivator like Zhang Fan who has the cultivation of the foundation building period can indeed be called an elder.
"Elder of the Outer Gate!"
Zhang Fan touched his nose and groaned, this position is not unacceptable, after all, learning alchemy is not a matter of one or two days, and it will not be so conspicuous to cover up an identity.
If it weren't for the recent departure of the three major cities of the White Bone Clan from the Inner Earth, which caused a power vacuum, causing a series of chaos and causing a large number of immortal cultivators to pour in, otherwise, it would be almost impossible for a person like him with a fresh face and not a weak cultivation to arrive here, without attracting the attention of others.
But if you stay for a long time and get a way to learn alchemy, you really have to have a layer of skin.
Zhang Fan was still thinking about it, and Xu Fan couldn't help but say again: "Brother Dao wants to learn the art of alchemy, it must not be possible in a while, right?"
"Of course!"
Zhang Fan nodded and admitted.
An alchemy technique with a completely different system from what I had learned before could not only be achieved in a short period of time, but it was not an exaggeration to describe it as long-lasting.
"Then, Brother Dao also needs a place to stay, a place full of spiritual energy to cultivate?"
"As long as you become the outer sect elder of our Hehuan Sect, the younger brother will find a good place for the elder brother. ”
"Where our Broken Mountain City is located, it is the largest spiritual vein within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, although my Hehuan Sect is small, it also occupies a lot of good places, how about the junior brother take them out for the Daoist brother to choose?"
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, Zhang Fan was a little moved.
The previous convenience of learning alchemy had already moved him, and if it was added to the provision of a spiritual land, it would naturally be even more ideal.
Just when Zhang Fan was groaning, Xu Fan had already flipped his palm, handed over a jade slip, and said in his mouth: "These are all places within the sphere of influence of our Hehuan Sect, and there are no immortal cultivators occupying them, Brother Dao can check one or two first." ”
Zhang Fan took it casually, thinking about the gains and losses, and at the same time probing his divine sense into it.
"Huh?"
"This place ......"
Zhang Fan, who was still a little absent-minded, suddenly looked moved, as if he had seen something strange.
At the same time, an old voice sounded in his head:
"Boy, your luck is really not ordinary!"
