Chapter 486 The shit stirrer

"I'm going to make the elixir now. Find someone to come in and I'll teach you the technique."

Qiu Rang instantly perked up, "Can I take a look?"

"can."

"Then I..."

Murong Ji interrupted him directly, "Qiu Rang, your talent lies in refining weapons and pills, but you can't be proficient in it, so your achievements are limited."

Qiu Rang was a little embarrassed, and finally sighed, "Who do you want to call in?"

"up to you."

Qiu Rang nodded, walked out of the door, looked at the five people who were working hard, glanced at them one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on Ren Shuang.

His face instantly darkened, "Ren Shuang! You! Just you! Come with me."

The tears on Ren Shuang's face had not yet dried. She looked at Qiu Rang with some resentment and walked over unwillingly, "What did I do?! Could it be that you are angry and want to take it out on me!"

Qiu Rang snorted coldly, "Although I have a bad temper, I am still reasonable. The leader once... uh... did a good thing."

Qiu Rang pushed the door open and walked in. "Mr. Murong, the person is here. Can you take a look at this girl and see if she is okay?"

Murong Ji glanced at it and nodded.

Qiu Rang pushed Ren Shuang from behind and directly pushed her in front of Murong Ji, then closed the door.

Murong Ji pointed to the cushion on the left, motioned her to sit down, and asked, "Have you practiced Qi?"

"Already practiced."

"Alchemy is a technical job. You need to be proficient in pharmacology and understand that the recipe for an elixir is different from the recipe for a medicine."

"Medicine prescriptions can directly act on people, but pill prescriptions cannot. The requirements are more stringent. Today, you will first see my method of refining pills. From now on, this room will be in your charge.

Ren Shuang's eyes lit up, and she asked in disbelief, "Then... where is the place where the elixirs are stored?"

"It's none of your business, just like Qiu Rang."

"Great!"

Murong Ji's speed in refining the elixir was not slow, but he deliberately slowed down this time so that Ren Shuang could see clearly. He then explained to her some simple basic questions such as how to control fire, how to use medicine, how to purify, etc.

Then I have to collect the medicines, put them into bottles, put labels on them, etc. A month's supply is about 300 pills, of many types.

Murong Ji opened the furnace several times before he finished refining the medicinal materials. The remaining medicinal materials, which lacked preparation, were kept.

Standing up, behind Murong Ji, Ren Shuang had already put a dozen porcelain bottles into silver portable boxes, then gathered the boxes together and carried them out arrogantly.

Murong Ji glanced at the medicine shelf in the room and found it was almost empty.

When Ren Shuang came back, he gave her some books on alchemy and medicine and asked her to study them on her own. "If you have any questions, leave me a message and I will reply after I see it."

"Besides, go to Huode Sect and learn a method of Yan Fa, the fire method. Your current Qi is not enough to support the flames needed for a furnace of elixirs."

"Find a palm-sized alchemy furnace and start practicing by refining medicinal materials. Medicinal materials are easy to find and not expensive."

"Yes! Master!" Ren Shuang saluted subconsciously.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows, said no more, turned around and left the company and returned home.

Seeing Zhang Chulan talking to Qu Tong, it seemed that the topic between them was not light-hearted. The appearance of Murong Ji made the two of them feel relieved.

"Brother Murong."

Qu Tong glanced at Murong Ji. The coldness on her face and the aura around her had not yet dissipated. She stood up and left without saying a word, going straight upstairs.

Murong Ji glanced at Qu Tong, then turned around and asked Zhang Chulan, "What did you talk about? Why are you so tense?"

Zhang Chulan laughed awkwardly, "Nothing, we just talked about Lao Ma's problem, and Sister Qu was unhappy."

Murong Ji sat in Qu Tong's seat and then asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

"Brother Murong, stop fooling me. You know what I want to ask." Zhang Chulan picked up the tea that Murong Ji poured for him.

He took a sip and put it down, then said, "Brother Murong, the oil painting in Tongtian Valley..."

As he spoke, Zhang Chulan took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket. On it was a color-printed photo of Feng Baobao when she was a child.

Murong Ji pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know what Feng Baobao is now."

Zhang Chulan was silent for a moment, analyzing Murong Ji's words, which were a little difficult to understand.

Murong Ji spoke again and said, "Tongtian Valley is the legacy of Zhang Boduan's ascension. Zhang Boduan left Tongtian Valley to prove his truth and verify his own conjecture."

"What is the question you see? 'What is human?' I wonder if you have ever thought that it is not a question, but an answer, the answer to what is immortal."

Zhang Chulan's pupils shrank instantly, and he was a little stunned, but then he understood. In a short period of time, he thought a lot and understood a lot. "Nine-bend winding cave, haha." Murong Ji sneered, "Wu Gensheng said that Zhang Boduan is a good teacher, but what about him? He led Wu Man to a dead end and led Bai Xiao Liang Ting to a dead end."

"None of those who were 'helped' by him had a good ending. Oh, of course, those people were not good people in the first place."

"It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to enter the aura set up by Zhang Boduan. If you don't know how to do it, you will die there. What's more, those lines guide people to practice, what is the threshold? Comprehend what it means to be human."

Murong Ji raised a finger and said, "The Qi Bureau is the first level, which depends on one's luck. The puzzle of the valley is the second level, which depends on one's understanding. How many people in this world do you think can comprehend it?"

"With just these two levels, 98% of the people are eliminated. The remaining ones still need to learn some of the relics in the cave and get out of it safely. How many people do you think can do it?"

"If you don't believe me, go and try your luck first."

Zhang Chulan's expression gradually became calm, and he thought about it carefully but could not tell what was going on.

Murong Ji had a gloomy face and continued, "Let's not talk about other things. It's been about a thousand years since Zhang Boduan died. For a thousand years, there hasn't been any news from Tongtian Valley."

"There haven't been a large number of aliens appearing. Over the past thousand years, how many people have benefited from Tongtian Valley? Don't you understand? Why did problems arise as soon as Wu Gensheng appeared?!"

"What do you mean Zhang Boduan is a teacher? Don't you think that's nonsense?"

Zhang Chulan let out a long breath. He understood that what Murong Ji said made sense, but...

"Brother Murong, what kind of person do you think Wu Gensheng is?"

Murong Ji's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A troublemaker! A fool! He actually doesn't understand, but he has received the kindness of his predecessors, and he is a fool pretending to understand."

"The meaning of Tongtian Valley is very clear. Being a human being requires truthfulness, and practicing cultivation requires sincerity! That's all!"

"Why did Wu Gensheng do that? Because he was not selected in the normal way! He relied on the spirit of the gods to get through the Qi Bureau, so..."

Murong Ji exhaled slowly. Wu Gensheng had destroyed Zhang Boduan's Taoist temple. Based on this, if he killed him, no one would be able to say anything.

Zhang Chulan asked cautiously: "Brother Murong, what about Sister Baoer..."

Murong Ji smiled grimly, "Feng Baobao, at first I thought she was Wu Gensheng's daughter, and now I still think so."

"The problem lies with Wu Gensheng. I thought Wu Gensheng was the result of Zhang Boduan's enlightenment, that is, the Dao fruit of Tongtian Valley. In fact, the Dao fruit belongs to someone else, but it fell into someone else's family."

"Wu Gensheng, a bastard who just got in there by chance..." Murong Ji suddenly realized that Zhang Chulan was testing his attitude towards Feng Baobao.

"There's no need to do this. The dispute between Dao and Li is not a life-and-death feud. There's no need to involve future generations."

Zhang Chulan then exhaled and laughed, "Brother Murong, there is one thing I need you to help me make a decision on."

Then, he pushed a photo over.

Murong Ji took a look and his face instantly turned dark. Lu Lin and Lu Linglong, those two unlucky things!
Following Zhang Chulan stealthily...

Poor tracking skills, so... embarrassing! Murong Ji's mouth twitched. He was about to ask why he didn't go find Lu Jin, but then he remembered that these two people had already become his disciples...

"They, are they still following?"

Zhang Chulan nodded, "It's just outside the door."

Murong Ji flipped through his phone and called Lu Lin directly, "Bring Lu Linglong with you and get in!"

Not long after, the brother and sister appeared in the living room. Feeling a little embarrassed, Lu Linglong hid behind Lu Lin, lowered her head and said nothing.

Lu Lin, however, looked like she was ready to die...

Murong Ji: "..."

I exhaled slowly and simply ignored them. Really, can't you use your brain? Why are you following someone without experience?

Afraid that others won’t find out.

"Brother Murong, I still have some questions about my practice."

"you say……"

I chatted with Zhang Chulan about spiritual practice. He answered all the questions I had and even gave me some pointers on the spot.

"Practicing cultivation is so difficult." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh. This is why so many people take shortcuts instead of working hard to practice.

Come to think of it, after practicing diligently for decades, in the end, you are only rewarded with the effort that others have practiced for a few years. How can one not feel heartbroken?

Murong Ji sneered. Cultivation is never easy. You can be lazy and take shortcuts in life cultivation, but what about sexual cultivation? How to take shortcuts?
Of two people with the same life skills, the one with a more resolute mind will definitely go further and more steadily! Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu are examples!

You can say that he has a cheat code in his heavenly book, but the gap between the original Mahavairocana Prajna and Tai Chi Xuanqing Taoism is not that big!

There is indeed a gap in martial arts between Zhang Xiaofan who was taught by Wanrenwang and Lin Jingyu who was taught by Wan Jianyi. But don't forget, there is also a gap in appearance between Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.

While practicing life skills, you are also tempering your character. Making progress in both directions is the right way.

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji murmured, "Difficult? This is just the beginning. Moreover, the predecessors have already lowered the difficulty of cultivation. The threshold of cultivation has almost been leveled."
