Chapter 52: I'm Looking for a Pot
er""The rules of the Great Pill Competition are those passed down by our ancestors from generation to generation, and they have never changed.""Now, the elders have unilaterally changed the rules. Not...As for Lao Hei's identity and background, Ginger Cloud had also thought about it. However, he hadn't interacted with outsiders much his whole life, except for the people in Ginger Village.
Although he has now left Mangshan and come to Wudao Sect, the only people he is close to are Dongfang Bo, his second senior sister, and Lu Xiaoyu.
Dongfang Bo is a chatterbox, everything he says is about cultivating immortals; the second senior sister practices closed-door training all day long, and Jiang Yun has only met her twice; as for Lu Xiaoyu, she is younger than him, so this leads to Jiang Yun's complete lack of understanding in terms of human relationships, social etiquette, etc.
As Lao Hei said, Ginger Cloud is indeed extremely naive. She didn't think deeply about Lao Hei's background and just felt that he had no ill intentions towards her, which was enough.
Now seeing Lao Hei transformed into a cloud of black mist, and hearing him confess that he was a demon, did give Jiang Yun a slight shock, but that was all.
Ginger Yun's face returned to calm, and she nodded slightly. "So it turns out, Big Black Brother, you are a demon!"
Compared to Jiang Yun's calmness, Lao Hei was once again surprised. Although he saw that Jiang Yun had a simple personality, he didn't expect him to be so simple. Even after learning his true identity and seeing his own appearance, he wasn't afraid at all.
Lao Hei wouldn't know, as for the demon race, Jiang Yun's attitude is unlike other humans, who believe that humans and demons should be mortal enemies.
Besides, he had already understood that the people of Ginger Village were actually demons. Having lived with demons for sixteen years, he certainly wouldn't reject or fear them.
The black mist stopped undulating, and Lao He's voice echoed through it again: "What is your eldest brother's true form"
"Big brother My big brother is human, not a demon!"
Although Jiang Yun didn't know how to distinguish between humans and demons, he asked that Wenda Zong was a Dao sect for the human race. If his senior brother was also a demon, how could he possibly enter Wenda Zong.
Ginger Cloud's answer made Lao Hei pause for a moment, but then he immediately understood. He thought to himself, "It seems he has always kept this kid believing he is also human. Truly brilliant!"
Thinking of this, Lao He admired Jiang Yun's "senior brother" even more. Under the rolling mist, he returned to his wizened old appearance and smiled, "Jiang younger brother, you haven't been in Da Dao Zong for long, there are some things you might not know yet, I must tell you."
"What's the matter"
Lao Hei walked back and forth in front of Jiang Yun, with his hands behind his back, and said: "This Beast-trapping Forest was originally called the Monster-trapping Forest. It was trapping me! But the words 'Monster-trapping' were too obvious, so the Wen Dao Zong changed its name to Beast-trapping Forest!"
>>>Lao He's words finally surprised Jiang Yun. This was indeed something he hadn't expected. Not to mention him, even those who knew about this matter within the sect, below the elders and peak masters, could be counted on one hand. This could also be considered a secret of the Wenti Sect.
"Why did the Daozong trap you here"
Lao Hei's face broke into a wry smile as he shook his head. "Only you, Brother Jiang, could ask such a question," he said. "Need I say more Because... I'm a demon!"
Jian Yun didn't ask further. To be honest, with his current experience and knowledge, he couldn't understand the relationship between humans and demons, which was as fierce as water and fire.
Lao Hei continued, "They can't kill me, but they don't want to let me leave either. They're afraid I'll cause trouble in the world, so they can only keep me trapped in this forest and make a deal with me. As long as I provide them with a constant supply of ferocious beasts, they won't bother me."
"Even, if someone asked the disciples within the sect, if they had trespassed into a forbidden area and died there, as long as I didn't kill them, they wouldn't have come forward either."
Of course, I also laid down conditions, asking Zong to guarantee that cultivators above the Cave Heaven Realm were not allowed to enter the Beast Trap Forest. Otherwise, for every one who entered, I would kill one!
Hearing this, several doubts in Ginger Cloud's heart finally got answered.
Why does the number of ferocious beasts in the Beast Trap Forest never decrease Why can't Sha Jing Shan come to the Beast Trap Forest to look for Lu Xiaoyu Why would Sha Jing Shan tell himself that the ferocious beasts in the Beast Trap Forest are not simple—it's all because of Lao Hei, this demonic existence!
Lao Hei's strength, Jiang Yun didn't know, but since he couldn't even be killed by the entire Wen Dao Sect, he definitely wouldn't be lower than the Dong Tian realm.
Of course, his strength should be comparable to that of the elders and peak masters of Wen Daozong. Otherwise, he wouldn't be trapped in this forest and unable to leave.
Lao Hei brought his face close to Jiang Yun's, grinning and saying, "Jiang Lao Di, do you know why I told you all this"
Jiang Yun shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"This is for your own good! If you want to live, don't tell anyone you saw me. Don't say that I'm friends with your senior brother, and absolutely don't tell anyone you helped me with my alchemy, or else, I guarantee, both you and your senior brother will die a terrible, terrible death."
To be honest, Jiang Yun still found Lao Hei's words a bit hard to understand, but since it concerned his elder brother's safety, he naturally couldn't delay. He nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone!"
Old Hei nodded in satisfaction as well. With a wave of his hand, a pile of materials and a jade slip appeared on the ground.
"All the materials are here, and the elixir formula is in this jade slip!"
As for the materials and jade slips, Jiang Yun merely glanced at them before shifting his gaze to survey the surroundings. He kept looking around, as if searching for something.
Looking at Ginger Cloud's gaze, Lao Hei asked in bewilderment, "Ginger brother, what are you looking for If you need anything else, just speak up."
"I'm looking for a pot!"
"A pot" Lao Hei was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses and asking, "What do you want a pot for"
"Alchemy!"
"Clank, clank, clank," Lao Hei staggered back a few steps before managing to stand firm. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yun, his withered face shifting through several expressions in the blink of an eye.
The newest and fastest updates here!
If Lao Hei hadn't heard Jiang Yun mention the materials for the blue elixir beforehand, and if he hadn't seen through Jiang Yun's simple personality, Lao Hei would have almost suspected that Jiang Yun had been playing him all along!
Although Lao Hei doesn't understand alchemy, as he said, he's an old monster. He may not have eaten pork, but he must have seen pigs running, right
Alchemizing, shouldn't you use a cauldron or alchemy furnace
I've never heard of anyone using a pot to refine medicine.
"You, with the cauldron, are you brewing medicine"
Lao Hei almost asked this question word by word, and Jiang Yun nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the pot! A stone pot or an iron pot will do."
Taking a deep breath, Lao Hei calmed himself down and asked, "Brother Jiang, may I ask, who did you learn your alchemy from Did you always use a cauldron to refine medicine before"
"I learned this from my grandfather. We've always used a cauldron to refine medicine. Besides, what else would we use if not a cauldron"
Okay, I'll make you a pot!
Lao Hei didn't ask any further. He reached out his hand and grasped, pulling a giant stone from the ground. It flew to his face. Then he opened his mouth and spat out a jet of black mist. Underneath the shroud of mist, it was clear that the stone had melted like water, quickly turning into a crude stone pot.
"Can I have this pot"
"That's all!"
Although Gingercloud was awestruck by Old Hei's abilities, after receiving the pot, she immediately started bustling around. Meanwhile, Old Hei stood aside, his expression constantly shifting as he watched Gingercloud's every move.
Then Jiang Yun first used his hand to dig a pit in the ground, then placed the stone pot on it, and then found some dry twigs nearby and put them under the pot……
Lao He couldn't help but want to ask Jiang Yun several times, "Are you sure you want to refine medicine, or are you cooking"
Finally, after all the preparations were complete, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged before the stone cauldron. He held the jade slip in his hand and looked at Lao Hei: "Lao Hei Big Brother, how do we use this thing"
Jade slips are a unique tool exclusive to cultivators. They can be used to record things and transmit information, making them very common. However, even Jiang Yun, who has seen many things, has never encountered one before.
Lao Hei said weakly, "It's the same as using a storage ring."
Jiang Yun poured his spiritual energy into the jade slip. Instantly, lines of text appeared in his mind, giving him a jolt of excitement. He read them carefully.
These words are the formulas for two kinds of pills. Besides the Tongmai Pill, the other kind is a pill refined by Lao Hei, asking Jiang Yun for help - the Tongtian Pill!ttle puzzled.After all, one person alone can't possibly do that. Even if he were truly dead, the death energy released wouldn't be enough to attract so many ghosts.Needless to say, there are even Dao...
