Chapter 15: Penglai Room, Dragon Tamer (Seeking follow-up reading)

May 5th, the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer.

The trees are green and the grass is lush.

A mugwort man to ward off disasters and diseases is hung at the entrance of Liuzhuang.

Inside the heavy gate of Liuzhuang is a small path in the front yard, with rockery, a small lake, and bamboo forest on both sides. Several women are sitting at stone tables and chairs, wrapping glutinous rice dumplings that look like rice dumplings.

Grandmother Liang was the center of attention among the women. She was delighted by their flattery.

The treatment in Liuzhuang was very good. During the Dragon Boat Festival, every tenant household was given glutinous rice dumplings and calamus wine to drive away the summer heat. The maids who served the grandmother also had a day off.

They couldn't sit still, so they helped pick calamus and make millet dumplings.

A four-year-old girl was playing and making trouble nearby.
"Hello, grandma!" A shrill voice came from not far away, and a handsome young man came in led by the security guard.

When she saw Xiaosheng coming, my grandmother's eyes narrowed into slits with smile.

Liu Jue even jumped up, ran over and hugged Xiaosheng's thigh, and said excitedly: "Brother Yingtai!"

"Yingtai is here? Come here!" Grandmother pointed to the seat next to her and tied a five-colored long-light thread on her arm to ward off evil spirits.

The guard quickly walked to the backyard.

The older maid shouted, "Bao Qian, where are you going?"

"There are guests visiting. I will report to the chief secretary."

Bao Qian was the young man who stood out during the rice thieves' rebellion that day.

When Liang Yue settled in Liuzhuang, he asked Bao Qian to bring his widowed mother over and also serve as the housekeeper to manage the tenants.

After passing through many corridors, a strange house appeared in front.

The doors and windows were all made of cast iron, and they were freezing cold. Apart from the iron window bars for ventilation, everything else was airtight. When the window was closed from the inside, it was even harder to open.

"Chief Secretary, Senior Shi Quanzi came to visit, Xie Qingzhi of the Xie family asked for medicine, the eldest son of the Shanyin County Magistrate asked for medicine, Master Zhu Yingtai came to visit, and there was a letter from the Jingkou Beifu Army."

Bao Qian knew Liang Yue's character, so he didn't waste any words and told him everything in one breath.

After a moment, a leisurely voice came from inside.

"Invite the visitor to the hall and ask them to wait for a moment. Then throw the letter through the window."

"Yes!"

Bao Qian respectfully put the letter away and then left.

The iron house is elegantly named Penglai Danshi. Inside the Danshi room, there is a dense aroma of medicinal fragrance and a faint purple air in the air.

A man in a white robe sat on the ground with his black hair loose. Behind him was a jade lamp with a coiled dragon and golden flame, reflecting dazzling golden light. The golden light formed a golden circle behind the man. From a distance, he looked like a deity from an ancient painting.

The flame of the eternal lamp burned the three-legged, two-eared cauldron, and the liquid in the cauldron slowly merged.

A charming medicinal aroma emanates from here.

It is exactly: Five metals and eight stones are melted in the furnace, and the dragon and tiger fire turn the elixir into liquid.

Liang Yue was burning with flames, using fifteen strands of true qi in his body to fuel the flames, and from time to time he took Earth Immortal Pills to replenish his true qi.

After a long time, the gold, silver, copper and green liquids in the cauldron merged into a clear blue liquid, and then the flames dissipated.

After the elixir has cooled, add flour and wild honey to make it into pills.

A bottle of Yunhua Lingfei Dan was refined.

Liang Yue swallowed a pill, which melted in his mouth immediately. His mind and soul felt as if he was soaking in a warm hot spring on a cold day.

Especially the Kunlun point between the eyebrows, which gives a sense of transparency and clarity.

"If you want to be immortal, cultivate Kunlun. The way to the immortal body, the soul is particularly important."

Over the past six months, he has devoted himself to identifying elixir recipes and finally found this precious medicine that can nourish the soul.

This medicine is quite precious and is mainly made of various gemstones and jades.

The benefits are obvious. The powerful soul feeds back to the body's meridians, and the upper limit of true Qi increases by five strands. This is faster than simply circulating the Qi around the body.

In addition, there are Five Stone Pills that strengthen the body and Earth Immortal Pills that directly restore true energy.

"The pills are not poisonous, but I don't have the true energy to remove the toxicity." Liang Yue thought of his previous experience in alchemy.

Then he stood up and took out his notebook to write down his current experience in alchemy. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Whether it is alchemy or cultivation, this thing depends on experience and feel. There is no such thing as small success or big success.

The bookshelf was filled with materials and waste pills. The largest number of pills was one type, which had the words Qingliu Dan written on it, with the words "Aspirin" in parentheses.

This was something Liang Yue did in his spare time. Qingliu Dan can treat fever, pain, arthritis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other symptoms. After it was invented, it was used among the people and cured many patients. Liuzhuang became very famous in the surrounding area.

Of course, the efficacy and output cannot be compared with those on Earth in the previous life, but it is also a relatively good medicine pill in this era.

Once this pill was launched, it quickly filled the funding gap for alchemy and even had a surplus, becoming Liuzhuang's main source of income.

Liang Yue took two bottles.

In the reception hall, the three of them chatted awkwardly.

Xie Qingzhi was a man with a long and beautiful beard. He was a cousin of Xie Anshi. Recently, his youngest son had a high fever and he came to Liuzhuang to seek medicine after being introduced by relevant people.

So does the other guy.

Shiquanzi goes down the mountain to communicate on a daily basis.

Ever since he learned that Liang Yue and Liu Chong had wiped out the rice thieves in the Kuaiji area, he was willing to go down the mountain occasionally to visit Liu Zhuang and exchange alchemy techniques.

Arriving at the reception room, Xie Qingzhi and the other young men stood up and bowed.

"Liang Changshi! I have long heard of your great name."

"Thank you, brother." Liang Yue gave each of them a bottle, "There are ten pills in each bottle. Take one pill a day. You will recover after ten days of continuous consumption."

The two men tactfully left five strings of cash as medical expenses.

The three of them exchanged polite greetings, and Xie Qingzhi and the other man said goodbye and left.

"Senior, look at this pill."

Liang Yue took out an earth immortal pill refined with true qi.

Shi Quanzi took one pill and his eyes widened immediately.

He had no true energy, but he could clearly feel his internal strength recovering instantly.

"This pill can even restore the internal energy of alien species. You are truly a genius in the art of pill making. If you take this pill every day, you should be able to break through to the middle level, right?"

"That's right. I have accumulated internal strength for twelve years." Liang Yue said complacently.

By the way, what is the different kinds of internal force? Is it the internal force of Dan Ding Gong that poisons the palm?

Shi Quanzi did not explain, and he did not ask. Perhaps it was some advanced internal skill that the other party was not convenient to explain.

After all, there is more to the world than just the Five Animal Exercises.

The two discussed the way of gold and stone.

"I almost forgot. Please wait a moment, Senior."

Liang Yue hurried to the Penglai Alchemy Room to take away the letter sent by Liu Chong.

Liu Chong was not the kind of person who would write letters to express his feelings when he had nothing to do. Since he asked someone to deliver the letter from the front line, he must have something important to discuss.

Matters concerning oneself are naturally related to the mysterious Dao.

The north is where the Xuan Dao flourished. The Northern Army is currently fighting against the Qin State in the Central Plains. Perhaps Liu Chong has discovered something.

"My dear brother, I have written to you personally. I have defeated many enemies and have been promoted to the position of military commander. This is all thanks to the military book you gave me. When I return home someday, I will get drunk with you for three days..."

After some pleasantries, Liu Chong got down to business.

"When I was marching to Mangdang Mountain, where Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake, I met a wandering Taoist who claimed to be from Longchi, Yanzhou. He was well versed in the geography of ancient mountains and rivers and was about to travel south to Yangzhou. I recommended you to him..."

"By the time you receive this letter, this person should have already arrived in Kuaiji."

Return to the living room.

Liang Yue was still wondering who that person was.

At this time, Bao Qian came in again and reported:

"Chief Secretary, there is a guest who wants to see you. He claims to be from the Huanlong clan and is from Longchi, Yanzhou."

"Huanlong clan?"
