227: Chapter 227 Heavenly Sound Fairy, Trading Pill Techniques

Ding dong...

Her slender, jade-like fingers plucked the strings, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. The strings vibrated, and profound zither music flowed together.

It formed a sound of nature, attracting butterflies to dance in the air, swirling around the pavilion.

The koi in the lake surfaced one after another, heading toward the pavilion.

The zither music intertwined, poetic and picturesque.

The zither is the melody, the strings are the sound!

Within this melody, there seemed to be an inseparable sorrow, causing those who heard it to unconsciously feel depressed.

Recalling sorrowful things, their moods sank.

Ding...

Suddenly, the zither music stopped abruptly. The surrounding butterflies scattered, and the koi in the lake submerged back into the water.

"Yin'er, will making this decision affect your lifelong happiness? You need to consider this carefully..."

"It is not too late. You cannot pay such a price because of Sound Valley."

The Noble Lady sighed, her beautiful eyes gazing at the young girl as she spoke in persuasion.

"Mother, please stop persuading me. This is my fate, and I cannot blame anyone else. If we cannot obtain the ancestor's cold jade ancient zither from the ruins and receive the complete inheritance of Sound Valley, what will Sound Valley have to face?"

"Mother, you know clearly that the elders cannot hold on much longer at that sealed land. If it breaks free, not only will Sound Valley be on the brink of destruction, but the Fighting Qi Continent will also be destroyed."

"Those experts from the Ancient Eight Clans are still immersed in the glorious honors of the past, unaware of the dangers the entire continent is facing..."

The young girl was none other than the daughter of the Master of Sound Valley, Fairy Tianyin.

She possessed a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, had excellent comprehension, and had an innate advantage regarding musical rhythm; she could be called a born zither master.

The young girl spoke indifferently: "If someone manages to obtain the cold jade ancient zither from the ruins this time, it will inevitably mean that they are a person above others, and I would not necessarily feel aggrieved."

"As for my marriage, let everything be left to the will of heaven!"

"Sigh..." The Noble Lady shook her head slightly, knowing that she had made up her mind.

"Many youths have already gathered outside the valley. It looks like there will be thousands of people by the time it starts."

"It is just that the Qin Realm ruins are extremely dangerous. It is easy to enter but difficult to leave. I do not know how many will survive."

Every day while waiting, many youths arrived. They were all under thirty years old, and their cultivation levels were not weak.

Outside the valley, many people were waiting, taking advantage of the gathering to set up stalls, selling things they did not need and buying items they required.

There was no lack of all kinds of people.

Many stalls had already appeared on the ground, placed on both sides, leaving a path open, displaying goods.

However, these people did not shout; they each sat by their stalls.

Only when someone came forward would they speak.

"Ten-thousand-year-old white jade ginseng, branches of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Life Origin Seed?" Hearing the prices quoted by Mud Bodhisattva, a huge wave surged in his heart.

He shook his head slightly and looked at Mud Bodhisattva. "If I look for you in the future, how can I find you?"

Every one of these items was extraordinary and very difficult to find.

However, these things might be obtained in the future. This mysterious Mud Bodhisattva was a strange person.

Mud Bodhisattva turned his head to look at him and slowly said: "I do not quite believe that you will obtain these treasures. This compass is my token. As long as you infuse it with a bit of power, I will know."

"I will come to find you then!"

He casually tossed a golden compass, which landed in his hand. Immediately after, Mud Bodhisattva seemed to see something and walked forward.

His eyes flashed with brilliance as he looked at a youth who had just entered the valley. He was wearing a white robe, handsome and extraordinary, followed by two women and two men.

A pair of twin sisters, full of youthful vitality, had their gazes fixed on the youth, flashing with adoration.

The two men behind were looking around vigilantly.

Mud Bodhisattva rushed toward the youth and began to converse, attracting the youth's interest.

A smile appeared on Hun Tiandi's face as he looked at the compass in his hand, stored it in his storage ring, and turned to leave.

His figure moved, heading toward the stalls, carefully examining the items.

All kinds of magic cores exuded astonishing fluctuations, along with medicinal herbs, low-level cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, pills... and some ancient books.

Walking and stopping, he came before a small stall set up by a young girl at the level of a Great Dou Master, which displayed ancient books and scrolls, as well as antique pill furnaces and jade bottles.

"Senior, are you looking to buy some pills? energy recovery pills, which assist in cultivation and can restore Fighting Qi, extending combat time; detox pills, concentration pills, and healing pills are all good choices."

"This time, Sound Valley requires entering the ruins. It will be dangerous inside, so bringing pills is definitely the right choice!"

The young girl slowly introduced them, seeing Hun Tiandi crouch down.

Detox pills can remove poisonous gas and toxic miasma; after taking them, general poisonous gas can be neutralized.

Concentration pills can help focus the mind during cultivation, making it less likely to be disturbed by external factors.

Healing pills can restore injuries and are used for saving lives.

"I am not buying pills. What do these ancient books and scrolls record..." Hun Tiandi asked.

Pills are the most popular currency in the Fighting Qi Continent, all painstakingly refined by Alchemists.

The profession of Alchemist is the most noble profession on the continent. The Pill Tower in the Central Plains is the holy land in the hearts of Alchemists, gathering all kinds of Alchemists.

Pills? Hun Tiandi was not lacking in them. He had Liu Ling, a seventh-rank high-level Alchemist, by his side, and behind him was Elder Dan, a Saint Yao...

However, he still had some interest in becoming an Alchemist.

Alchemy is very wonderful, using a combination of several medicinal herbs to refine various different pills, which can maximize the power of the herbs themselves.

energy recovery pills and healing pills were things Hun Tiandi had not eaten few of before.

Although he had already pioneered the path of spiritual wine, it did not hinder him from becoming an Alchemist.

Now that he saw many items related to alchemy on the stall, he wanted to take a look; perhaps it would even be helpful for brewing spiritual wine.

"Senior, these ancient books and scrolls..." the young girl asked curiously.

"They are some introductory guides to alchemy for those who are just beginning to learn alchemy. The scrolls contain the Fire Control Technique and the pill condensation method..."

"You want to learn alchemy?" the young girl asked, and as if thinking of something, she quickly shut her mouth.

"I want to purchase this alchemy introduction, the Fire Control Technique, and the pill condensation method. How many gold coins are needed?"

Hun Tiandi did not mind at all and asked for the price directly.

"Three thousand gold coins in total. If it weren't for the need to cultivate and buy medicinal herbs, Dou Techniques, and cultivation methods, I would not sell the family-inherited Fire Control Technique and pill condensation method!"

The young girl sighed.

Alchemy is a technical job; every step is very important. If one is not careful, the pill will be ruined.

The Fire Control Technique is about skillfully manipulating flames, controlling them for one's own use, and calcining medicinal herbs for purification.

There are many types of flames, such as Fighting Qi flames, Beast Fire, Earth Fire, and the most terrifying Heavenly Flame.

In fact, on the Fighting Qi Continent, some people who have advanced to the level of Dou Practitioner or Dou Master use some pill furnaces to stimulate initial Fighting Qi flames.

To refine some simple pills, such as Foundation Establishment Elixir, hemostatic powder...

However, the failure rate is high, and they contain many impurities.

For these most basic pills, no talent is needed; if it is a high-grade pill, talent is required.

Fire and wood attribute Fighting Qi, and powerful soul perception.

The pill condensation method is used during alchemy to purify medicinal liquids and powders, which can better allow various medicinal herbs to fuse.

Controlling the flame temperature, the purity of the medicinal liquid...

These are all necessary for assisting in alchemy.
