Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 70 It’s your own fault
The logo of Danyuan is an image of a boy carrying a medicine hoe and a medicine bag on his back.

It is said that this was the Taoist boy who came to Qingyun Mountain with the founder, the real master, and was also the ancestor of the Qingyun Sect's Alchemy Academy.

The structures of the Danyuan and Zhenyuan are completely different.

For safety reasons, the Formation Court separated the research rooms of each formation master to avoid affecting fellow Taoists in the event of an explosion.

Although there is a risk of furnace explosion in alchemy, the danger is much lower than that of formation. At least for those practitioners who already have a basic foundation, it is still within the tolerable range.

Therefore, the alchemy rooms in the alchemy academy are all built in one place to make it convenient for alchemists to take care of each other.

About five hundred years ago, the Qingyun Sect discovered a large spirit stone mine. After fighting with other sects, they finally gained ownership of the spirit stone mine.

For a time, Qingyun Sect became rich and powerful.

The then Qingyun Sect leader waved his hand and not only expanded the spiritual garden of the Alchemy Academy by dozens of miles, but also built ten alchemy rooms named Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui at once.

At that time, the headmaster thought that one day the Qingyun Sect's Alchemy Academy would be prosperous, and there would be a grand scene where all ten alchemy rooms would have alchemists in charge.

Unfortunately, five hundred years have passed, and none of the ten alchemy rooms of Qingyun Sect have had owners.

Currently, Qingyun Sect is in its heyday, and the Alchemy Academy has reached its highest level in history. Even so, there are only seven formal alchemists, plus their respective apprentices.

Apprentices certainly do not have the right to use the alchemy room alone.

Zhou Qing's task was to go to the Bingzi Alchemy Room to guard the alchemy furnace for Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan just refined a batch of fasting pills, which are the regular supplies for the disciples of Qingyun Sect, because every alchemist has a task and needs to refine a certain amount every month.

But for alchemists with aspirations, basic elixirs like the Bigu Pill naturally did not arouse any interest, so the seven alchemists all regarded this as a helpless task.

Mr. Yuan prepared the medicinal materials according to the principles of monarch, minister, assistant and guiding, and adjusted the temperature of the furnace. He instructed Zhou Qing to activate the formation on the furnace every half hour to change the temperature. After six hours, the elixir was ready. After waiting for the remaining fire to die out, he could open the furnace and take out the elixir. Then he took his apprentice away to do his own research.

Zhou Qing stared at the clepsydra beside the alchemy furnace, wondering if he could add an automatic and timely function to the furnace, while waiting for Liu Bingxuan to do something.

He was not sure whether Liu Bingxuan would take action this time, but he believed that with Liu Bingxuan's temperament, he would definitely not be willing to be lonely. Even if he did not take action this time, after trying a few more times, he would eventually get his chance.

……

Mr. Yuan took his apprentice Qiao Hong out of the alchemy room and planned to return to his own personal research room to study the medicinal properties.

The alchemists of Qingyun Sect would travel every ten years, with travel times ranging from one to three years.

When traveling, they would sometimes visit sects that were friendly with the Qingyun Sect to exchange knowledge about alchemy with their alchemists. They would also exchange ideas with each other and ask each other if they had discovered any new medicinal materials that could be used in the pills.

Sometimes they would go deep into the mountains to discover materials that could be used to make elixirs that their predecessors had never noticed.

The objects of their interest include flowers, plants, trees, bones, horns, furs of animals, blood of monsters, etc.

They would bring back the materials that could be used to make pills to the sect, and the sect would often go to the market in this world of immortal cultivation to collect materials for them.

In addition to refining pills, the daily work of an alchemist is to analyze the properties of these materials to see if they can be combined with other materials to make pills.

The development of alchemy in the world of immortal cultivation has been accumulated through the tiny efforts of generations of alchemists.

Just as Mr. Yuan and his apprentice were about to walk to the private study room, the apprentice, Qiao Hong, suddenly slapped his head and said awkwardly, "Sir, I forgot to bring my notes. Let me go back and get them."

Mr. Yuan said, "How could you be so careless to forget something so important? Go get it quickly."

Qiao Hong apologized and ran away.

After leaving Mr. Yuan's sight, he did not return to his residence. Instead, he took out a paper crane from his arms, wrote a message on it, and then flew it away.

The paper crane flew along the predetermined route towards Ziyun Mountain. Qiao Hong and Liu Bingxuan had always been good friends.

Liu Bingxuan had asked him a long time ago that if Zhou Qing, Wei Xu and others came to the alchemy room to work, they should inform him in time so that he could use some means.

The last time Wei Xu was tricked, it was Qiao Hong who leaked the information.

The paper crane flew to the lakeside villa on Ziyun Mountain in just half an hour.

When Liu Bingxuan received the paper crane and learned that Zhou Qing was guarding the alchemy furnace, he was immediately overjoyed.

Although Liu Bingxuan was proud of having made Wei Xu suffer a great loss last time, he still felt unsatisfied. He thought that if Wei Xu was replaced by Zhou Qing himself, that would really make him proud.

I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Liu Bingxuan didn't dare to waste time, worried that Zhou Qing would finish his task and leave.

He set off immediately and hurried to the Danyuan.

After calming his breathing a little, he slowly walked into the alchemy room.

All the alchemy rooms in the alchemy academy are built facing each other in a circle, covered by a dome, which represents the cycle of the ten celestial branches.

In addition to the Bing alchemy room guarded by Zhou Qing, there are three or four other alchemy rooms where alchemy is also being made. Some of them are guarded by registered disciples like Zhou Qing, while others have more important tasks and are therefore personally guarded by the alchemist's apprentices.

All these people knew Liu Bingxuan, and when they saw him come in, they greeted him one after another.

There was also someone who had discussed the matter with Fang Yuhe at his home that day. When he saw him coming, he immediately understood that he was going to deal with Zhou Qing, so he winked at him and nodded towards Bingzi Danfang. Then the two of them smiled at each other, both feeling a little excited.

Liu Bingxuan greeted his acquaintances and wandered around the alchemy room aimlessly, finally arriving at the door of the Bing alchemy room.

He glanced inside and said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Zhou? Are you here to guard the alchemy room too?"

"A while ago, your good brother Wei Xu was lazy and oversleeping in the alchemy room, ruining a batch of pills. He was just whipped by the Discipline Hall. Don't follow in his footsteps."

After saying this sarcastic remark, he waited for Zhou Qing to retaliate angrily.

But Zhou Qing didn't even glance at him, as if he was air.

This made Liu Bingxuan very angry.

He said fiercely in his heart, let’s see how long you can be so proud.

Thinking of this, he began to secretly guide the spiritual energy through the extraordinary meridians into the liver, causing divine intoxication.

He used his Taoist heart to guide the Immortal Drunkenness to attack Zhou Qing.

Under Liu Bingxuan's slightly nervous gaze, Zhou Qing's figure seemed to shake.

Liu Bingxuan was overjoyed, thinking that Zhou Qing had fallen into the trap.

He was about to quietly withdraw to get rid of his suspicion, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a rod had been inserted into it.

Liu Bingxuan was in so much pain that his whole body was convulsing. He collapsed to the ground and kept rolling around.

His howl instantly spread throughout the Danfang Palace.

The other caretakers in the alchemy room all leaned out in surprise and saw Liu Bingxuan rolling on the ground in pain. They had no idea what was going on.
