Chapter 76 The deal is concluded
This is alchemy in the usual sense.

After the Western Jin Dynasty, influenced by Ge Hong's "Baobuzi", a new idea was formed in the Jindan School, which is the internal alchemy method of later generations.

However, in "Baobuzi", Ge Hong mentioned another word, inner alchemy.

It is different from Jindan in emphasis, but is essentially the same as Jindan.

This is also the origin of the North and South Quanzhen sects. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Eastern, Western, and Central sects emerged.

Murong Ji looked up at the statue. This was the Heavenly Master Ge Xuan. He lit three incense sticks and worshiped with the etiquette of a Taoist disciple.

Then he picked up a book from the altar beside him and started reading while sitting cross-legged on the cushion.

This was the textbook for the Lingbao Taoist sect's exercises. Apart from the gong sutras, it was not much different from what he had learned, as the basic chapters of Taoism in this era were almost the same.

The only difference is the teacher's explanation.

Murong Ji flipped through it and then walked towards the study.

Master Zhang Boduan didn't have a large collection of books, and most of them were exchanged for food. There was nothing he could do about it, as he was a poor Taoist priest and he had no food to eat.

If he had not gone to become an apprentice and brought a large amount of money with him, he would have suspected that the original Zhang Boduan in history had starved to death.

Places like the study and the scripture library have always been important places. Now that Princess Zhennan of Yuxu Temple has been disturbed, no one has paid too much attention to this place.

Murong Ji pushed the door open and walked in. A fresh fragrance filled his nose, somewhat like the pleasant smell of a woman.

After a quick glance, the study was deserted and a little dim, with only a few rays of light flickering constantly.

Lighting the candlestick, Murong Ji began to search inside.

As expected, after walking around the bookshelves, when Murong Ji appeared again, he had five more books in his hands.

They are all "external alchemy" classics, "Nine Elixirs Golden Liquid Immortal Classic", "Taiqing Alchemy Classic", "Nine Ding Alchemy Classic", and "Golden Liquid Alchemy Classic".

And a copy of the Lingbao Sutra.

After sitting down, he began to look through the books carefully. Most of them were pill recipes. Murong Ji read them very carefully. There was also an introduction to the techniques of alchemy.

Suddenly, Murong Ji's pupils shrank, Xiao Huandan!
He didn't know what the Xiao Huan Dan was, but he had seen the Da Huan Dan in novels! The Da Huan Dan from Shaolin Temple!

It seems like some kind of healing magic medicine.

I glanced at the other books and grabbed them in my hand. They're mine!
Alchemy involves a lot of medical knowledge. At this time, he missed Qian Yi so much and wondered whether this great doctor had made great progress in his medical skills.

Murong Ji was thinking when a maid suddenly came in from outside the door.

Both of them were stunned. One didn't expect there was a outsider in the study, and the other didn't expect someone to come so early.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then turned around, bowed to Murong Ji, and then walked to a corner of the study carrying a small basket.

He lit the incense burner, went to the candlestick, trimmed the wick, and quietly walked out.

Murong Ji took a deep breath. This incense seemed to be for women only.

After a while, the sound of a crutch tapping the ground was heard from outside the door again. It was very light and sounded cautious. If Murong Ji's internal strength was not stronger than Duan Yanqing's, it would not be easy to detect.

"squeak"

The door was pushed open, and when I turned around, it was really Duan Yanqing.

Duan Yanqing glanced at the study, then sat down opposite Murong Ji, looked at the books in his hands, and then walked towards the bookshelf silently.

Not long after, Duan Yanqing had several more books in his hands, including "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi", "Jiu Huan Jin Dan Pian", etc. He placed these scriptures in front of Murong Ji and sat opposite him again under Murong Ji's puzzled gaze.

"Now I know what you're fixing. How about we make a deal?"

Murong Ji frowned slightly. The Golden Elixir Method was not well-known in this era. Even Quanzhen Dao was still an unknown small sect. He did not quite believe it and then asked, "Then what am I practicing?"

Duan Yanqing looked at him deeply and said, "Indestructible, perfect and pure. This is the method of Taoist inner alchemy."

Murong Ji lowered his eyes slightly. The needs of Yanqing at this time were really extensive.

"What deal?"

Duan Yanqing smiled and said, "It's good that there is something to talk about."

"You help me take care of them and I'll help you seize the Murong family's property, how about that?" Duan Yanqing said, and waited for a while, but saw no response from Murong Ji, so he frowned slightly.

In his opinion, the deal was fair.

"Why? You should know that the Murong family is entrenched in Gusu, which is a huge force and a huge area..."

Murong Ji shook his head. Is it still necessary to seize the Murong family's property? Kill Murong Fu and everything will be his.

The prerequisite is that he can display strong strength, and he now has this condition.

There is a golden elixir method inside to provide tremendous internal strength.

Now that he has the Six Meridians Divine Sword, combined with the sword-controlling technique, he has a 60% chance of winning against Murong Bo in his most victorious period!
Duan Yanqing lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, "I'll teach you to be careful and never keep anything for yourself." After saying that, he stared at Murong Ji's expression.

Murong Ji still had no reaction. He continued, "The Duan family of Dali advocates Buddhism, but our lineage is devoted to Taoism. Strictly speaking, we belong to the Lingbao sect."

"With my experience, I am more than capable of teaching you the art of mindfulness."

Murong Ji seemed to come back to his senses and looked at Duan Yanqing with a half-smile. No wonder, no wonder when Dali rebelled, Duan Yanqing was treated coldly when he asked to go to Tianlong Temple.

It turned out that they wanted to check and balance the Tenryuuji, and then they were sacrificed. Now it seems that it is still unknown whether the rebellion was instigated by the Tenryuuji.

No wonder Duan Yanqing left his hometown.

Duan Yanqing remained silent. He knew very well that Duan Yu needed to grow up. Even the most talented people needed time to grow.

Dao Baifeng rejected him, and he didn't want Duan Yu's throne to be shaken. He was wary of Duan Zhengming's character and methods.

Murong Ji is almost the most suitable protector, he has no choice.

He picked up a copy of the Lingbao Sutra and began to read it slowly. Without saying anything else, he wanted to show off his abilities first.

Near noon, people from Dali arrived, led by monks from Tianlong Temple.

Murong Jibai listened to the scriptures for a long time, picked up the teacup, and poured a cup of tea for Duan Yanqing, "Okay, the deal is done."

Duan Yanqing smiled and drank the tea in one gulp. This was Murong Ji's way of showing respect to the word "Master".

When Murong Ji left the study, Duan Yanqing also hurriedly climbed out of the window and disappeared.

When he walked into the main hall, Murong Ji saw Monk Benxiang, one of the six great monks in Tianlong Temple.

Seeing Murong Ji, Benxiang stepped forward with a smile and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, Mr. Murong, thank you for your help to the Tianlong Temple."

Murong Ji responded, "You are too polite. Duan Yu and I are as close as brothers. Master Benxiang, I am being polite."
