On the Avenue.

Chapter 606: Residents of Daoxu

The alchemist was named Tang Feng, and he was in charge of alchemy in the village. Upon hearing this, he quickly smiled and said, "Master, you don't know that it takes us ten years to refine one furnace of our elixir. The last time you came, we had already refined one furnace. If you want to start the next furnace, you have to wait ten years."

Chen Shi looked embarrassed. The purpose of his coming here was to see if he could get some more elixirs so as to use them to comprehend the secrets of the heretics in Xiniu and Xinzhou.

Lord Shang Du staggered over and said with a smile, "The elixir that Master took away last time was too little, and I couldn't taste it. Tang Feng, do you have any more herbs to start another furnace?"

The big man Tang Feng said in embarrassment: "Our village can get all the other medicinal herbs, but we are missing the herb of Fulingxian."

Shang Dugong said: "Is there any way to get this medicine?"

Tang Feng said, "We don't have any in our village, but there should be some in Daoxu. If we can get some, we can refine another batch of elixirs for the master."

He looked at Chen Shi with difficulty and said, "Master, on this journey to find Fulingxian, we have to pass through several places. These places are owned by others and I cannot pass through them alone. Can you lend me your prestige and let me pass through?"

"Are there other people in Daoxu?" Chen Shi was a little surprised.

Tang Feng smiled innocently: "Yes, there are some. But they are shy and usually don't come out."

Chen Shi thought about it carefully and thought, "My Daoxu land was given to me by the Heavenly Court, with the seal of the Four Imperial Gods and the guarantee of the Jade Emperor. This is my place!"

He suddenly became much bolder and said with a smile, "Well, I'll go with you to collect herbs."

Tang Feng was overjoyed, and quickly changed into a pair of straw sandals suitable for walking on mountain roads. He also took a medicine basket, a sickle, and a bundle of ropes, and said, "Master, we can set off now."

The two walked out of Furo Village and headed towards the mountains.

Daoxu was uninhabited and had no ferocious beasts. Chen Shi followed Tang Feng for a long time and did not encounter any danger.

Chen Shi did see quite a few magical medicines growing in the mountains and wilds.

At this time, he saw a woman in green sitting on a rock under a peony, supporting herself on the rock with her hands and swinging her feet. There was a cliff below her.

The cluster of peonies was very large and spectacular.

"There are immortals here too!" Chen Shi said in surprise.

Tang Feng took a quick glance and said, "It's a peony that has transformed into a fairy. Don't underestimate her, she has the strength of a fairy. If you ask for directions, she will smile and talk to you, but if you have any ill intentions, she will kill you and bury you in the soil to make fertilizer for the flowers."

Chen Shi looked at her again and again. The Peony Fairy noticed him, gave him a sweet smile, straightened her body, and waved to him vigorously.

Chen Shi also waved his hand gently. Tang Feng walked in front and said, "Master, be careful not to become fertilizer for the flowers."

Chen Shi followed him and looked back. Fairy Peony had a gloomy look on her face, as if she was sad about his departure.

"Master, there are many monsters in this wild mountain and wilderness. The decent people you see are often not decent people."

Tang Feng said earnestly, "Don't be fooled by those witches, or you might lose your vitality."

Chen Shi said: "I have lost the master."

Tang Feng said: "Then you have to be more careful, don't lose more. Keep healthy. Look at me, I have kept myself very strong."

He was wearing a short cotton coat and trousers that only reached his calves, revealing his muscular body and strong build.

Chen Shi asked curiously, "Why did you make yourself so strong?"

"Get married."

"Aren't you going to lose your Yuan Yang?"

"Master, you don't understand. I can't explain it to you clearly."

……

Along the way, Chen Shi saw other immortal medicines and some beautiful women, some sitting on trees, smiling sweetly, some built thatched huts next to the immortal medicine and lived there, or some gathered in twos and threes, admiring flowers and drinking tea, laughing sweetly.

Others liked the coolness of the mountain stream water, so they took off their clothes and jumped in. Several fairies played in the water, having a great time.

Chen Shi looked around again and again, and Tang Feng urged him a few times, and only then did Master Chen reluctantly follow.

"The master came out alone because the people in our Fuluo Village are kind-hearted. If it were any other place, the grass on the master's grave would be ten feet high." Tang Feng complained secretly.

They gradually quickened their pace and went deeper into the mountains. Chen Shi asked, "Why don't you fly over there?"

Tang Feng said: "It's too dangerous. If you accidentally enter someone else's territory while flying in the air, you may lose your life."

Chen Shi looked around and said with a smile: "This place is obviously very desolate..."

He had just said this when he suddenly saw two little boys, one in green and one in white, standing under the shade of a tree in front of them, holding jade plates with wine and dishes on them.

Seeing the two people coming, the boy in green stepped forward and bowed, "Are you the Lord of Daoxu, Master Chen?"

Chen Shi stepped forward and said, "I am Chen Shi, and you two young men are..."

The children in blue and white said in unison, "We are the Taoist children serving the master of this mountain, Changchun Emperor. Our master heard that Master Chen was passing by, so he prepared some wine and food, and asked for your honor. Our master, Changchun Emperor, is ill and cannot come to greet us in person, so please forgive us, Master Chen."

Chen Shi said solemnly: "How is your master's health? If it is serious, do you need me to invite a doctor for him? I know a lot of people in the Heavenly Palace."

The boy in green clothes said, "I dare not trouble Master Chen. The master's illness has been lingering for a long time, and he has visited many famous doctors, but there is nothing he can do."

Chen Shi sat down under the tree. There were stone chairs and stone benches. The two children put down the wine and food. Chen Shi asked them to sit down as well. The two children quickly said, "We dare not."

Chen Shi raised his chopsticks and saw the big man Tang Feng still standing beside him. He smiled and said, "They don't dare to sit down, and neither do you? Sit down, sit down."

Tang Feng sat down, feeling a little awkward.

Chen Shi put down his ivory chopsticks, poured wine for him, and said with a smile: "Why should we be so polite? Just treat it as your own home."

Tang Feng thanked him, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, drank another glass of wine, and praised him again and again.

Chen Shi took a peek and saw that he was not poisoned, so he ate it with peace of mind.

There was nothing unusual when I just ate the menu, but after eating the dishes and drinking the wine, I suddenly felt all kinds of great visions rising in my body, such as the blue sea and the rising sun, mountains as tall as Kunyue, water mist and clouds, the setting starry sky, and other spectacular scenes, accompanied by a long-lasting Taoist rhythm, which was amazing and wonderful.

After enjoying the food and wine, Chen Shi was surprised to find that his Taoism had improved significantly, and his cultivation had increased by 20% compared to before.

"Emperor Changchun really put a lot of thought into preparing this feast," he thought to himself.

Tang Feng was also very satisfied with the meal and stood up.

Chen Shi said to the two Taoist boys, "Thank your master for me. If you need any help from now on, just let me know."

The two children said yes. The child in white raised his hand and pointed to a road in the mountain, saying, "Master Chen, our mountain is blocked everywhere. If ordinary people go in, they will die. Master Chen, go over there and you can pass through the mountain."

Chen Shi thanked him and walked up the mountain path with the big man Tang Feng. As expected, the journey was safe.

They crossed the mountain and came to a valley. The valley was clear and bright with clouds floating in it. A rainbow bridge spanned the valley. There was a fairy who had been waiting for a long time. She was wearing a red dress, standing on the rainbow bridge, looking up at them.

"Is the person who came here the Lord of Daoxu, Master Chen Shi?"

The girl walked down the bridge gracefully, her lotus steps swaying, and walked up to the two men. She said with a smile, "I am the daughter of Niangpo Yuanjun, Ding Sisi. I am here to wait for Master Chen on Yuanjun's orders."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I am Chen Shi."

The young girl Ding Sisi bowed quickly, her dress drooping on the ground, looking pitiful. She said, "Yuanjun is injured and unable to move. She cannot come to see the master in person. I hope Master Chen will forgive me. I apologize on behalf of my mother."

"Sisi, please get up quickly."

Chen Shi helped the girl up and touched her skin, which he felt was soft and boneless, and indescribably smooth.

The girl stood up gracefully, raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, which made King Chen Zhen's heart flutter and he suddenly felt that she was a chivalrous and kind-hearted woman.

Tang Feng coughed and said, "Master, now that we have met, we should cross the mountain."

Chen Shi remembered something important and patted the girl's hand, saying with a smile, "Miss Sisi, please go back quickly and tell your mother that she is not feeling well and needs to recover. I will visit her again when she is better."

Ding Sisi nodded her head and said yes.

"Master Chen, Yuan Jun has prepared a purple gold crown. Although it is not a precious treasure, it is also Daoxu gold essence found by chance in Daoxu. It was refined with purple mysterious fire, and it took a lot of effort. Please accept it."

She took a purple-gold crown from the maid behind her. The purple-gold crown was not big, but it was golden all over with a little purple.

In front of the golden crown is a red ball as big as a fist, and behind it is a phoenix feather made up of five golden leaves. It is also matched with thirteen oriental pearl hairpins, which can be used as thirteen flying swords.

This treasure is exquisitely refined, but it has not yet been branded with the patterns of the Great Dao. It should be specially given to someone. Once the new owner has branded his own patterns of the Dao on it, it can become an exclusive magic weapon that only he can use.

Magical weapons like this are private magic weapons, often used for self-defense or sneak attacks on others.

Niangpo Yuanjun gave Chen Shi this treasure with some thought behind it.

Chen Shi accepted the purple gold crown, thanked Ding Sisi and Niangpo Yuanjun, said goodbye and left the valley with Tang Feng.

"What a good girl," he said with emotion.

Tang Feng said, "She is indeed very powerful. I once accidentally entered this place and was chased by her. She almost beat me to death. I fled to Fuluo Village, but she blocked the door for three days."

Chen Shi was shocked and thought, "Is Ding Sisi really that powerful? Isn't Niangpo Yuanjun even more powerful? Why do Niangpo Yuanjun and Changchun Emperor live in seclusion in a dilapidated place like Daoxu?"

"The front is coming!"

Tang Feng was quite happy and quickened his pace. Chen Shi followed him, and the two of them crossed a valley and climbed up the cliff.

When we reached the top of the cliff, we saw a burly man exercising his muscles and tempering his body under a magical medicine tree.

This man had a leopard head and round eyes, and looked very majestic. He was stronger than Tang Feng, with a body full of tendons. There was a void above his head, and inside it was a world similar to the Tao realm. Thunders of varying sizes kept shooting out from it, striking his flesh, but were bounced off by his smooth and tough skin.

"What a powerful cultivation! What a strong body!"

Chen Shi couldn't help but marvel at the fact that this strong man's body had been refined to the point where no thunder could harm him. He had cultivated pure yang and was extremely powerful.

I wonder if it can compare with the golden body of Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta?
The thunder not only tempered the strong man, but also struck the elixir tree behind him. The thunder fell on the tree, making it become lush and more vigorous.

"The thief is here again!"

The sturdy man was furious when he saw Tang Feng. He didn't care about his training and jumped up, rushing over, shouting, "I will definitely not tolerate you this time!"

His momentum was so fierce that the surrounding space seemed to have turned into stone. Chen Shi suddenly felt that his body was imprisoned and unable to move. He couldn't help but feel shocked: "It's more powerful than I expected! Could this strong man be the giant entrenched here?"

Just as he thought of this, he heard a loud bang. Tang Feng punched out, and the strong man's almost invincible momentum was blasted through, and his breath was scattered.

Tang Feng punched him again, knocking him to the ground, with his head buried in the rocks and half of his lower body exposed.

This punch was so powerful that it even made the mountain shake!
Chen Shi's eyes widened. The two moves Tang Feng just made had a feeling of simplicity and simplicity, and returning to nature. These were exactly the unique skills he had comprehended from the Dao patterns on the green stele!
He already knew that the people in Furo Village had extremely high cultivation levels, but he never expected that it was to this extent!

"People in this village take elixir once every ten years. Even that duck has learned some amazing skills from the green stele. Its strength is absolutely powerful!" Chen Shi thought to himself.

He really couldn't beat the duck that he slapped twice.

The reason why the duck was afraid of him was because Chen Shi had beaten countless ducks before, and had developed a kind of aggressive temperament that the duck would be terrified of at the sight of him.

He could still barely see the sturdy man's cultivation strength, but he had no idea how strong Tang Feng's cultivation was.

Tang Feng pulled the sturdy man out from the rocks, pulled out a cow-ear knife from his waist, put down the medicine basket, took out a piece of white paper from the basket, and pressed the sturdy man on the white paper.

The strong man shouted: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. You might as well kill me!"

Tang Feng said nothing, picked up the ox-ear knife and started shaving him.

Tang Feng shaved very carefully, for fear of breaking the sturdy man's skin.

The strong man was held down by him and struggled hard, but couldn't get away. Later, he lowered his head in dejection and let him shave him.

Tang Feng shaved his beard clean, and was satisfied. He picked up the strong man and threw him aside, carefully put away the beard on the white paper, and said with a smile: "I finally got the medicinal material of Fulingxian."

Chen Shi came up to him and asked in surprise, "Is this strong man the Immortal Fu Ling?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "He is not. The beard is. Master, you don't know that this fairy tree is poisonous in both branches and roots, and its juice is extremely poisonous. Only when this thing transforms into a human body and grows a beard, it is the fairy medicine Fulingxian. Therefore, if you want to get this fairy medicine, you have to shave his beard. It is rare for a fairy tree to transform into a human, and it is even rarer to transform into a man. It is extremely difficult to find one. Therefore, our village can only refine it once every ten years."

The sturdy man shouted, "When I become a master of my magic, I will make you two suffer!"

The two went down the mountain and returned to Pulau Village along the same route.

After returning to the village, Tang Feng began to refine the elixir. After three days, he finally refined a furnace of elixir.

Chen Shi was overjoyed, stepped forward and grabbed a handful, and said with a smile: "Now, I can finally comprehend that unorthodox way!"

Tang Feng hurriedly said: "Master, there are more than forty elixirs in the furnace!"

Chen Shi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can keep the rest. I'm leaving first!"

He left in a hurry. The villagers of Fuluo Village watched him go. Bai Lu murmured, "The elixir he made with great difficulty was given to us. This master is really interesting..."

"What a kind man." Shang Du was fair.

The villagers nodded one after another, except for the duck, who objected.
