Chapter 99 Exchange Conditions
Xiao Xia is no longer a third-level warrior of the Xiao family. He is now temporarily living in the west courtyard of the Xiao family, which is Xiao Yu's mansion. To put it bluntly, he sleeps in Xiao Zhurong's study.

Coming out of the inner hall, Xiao Xin took a few quick steps to catch up with Xiao Xia and whispered, "Do you have time? My master wants to see you!"

"where is it?"

"It's at Xuanwu Temple!"

Xuanwu Temple was not far from the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Xia nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The two soon arrived at Xuanwu Temple and walked into a small courtyard, where they saw an old Taoist priest sitting cross-legged under a tree in the courtyard, meditating with his eyes closed.

Xiao Xia already knew that this old Taoist priest was no ordinary person. He was actually Xiao Yan, the uncle of the family head Xiao Cong, and also Xiao Lin's father. After becoming a monk, he changed his name to Xiao Jianli.

Xiao Xin stepped forward quickly and whispered, "Master, he's here!"

Xiao Jianli slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Xia and asked with a smile: "Is Master Yuan still in Jiangdu?"

Xiao Xia shook his head, "I don't know, he just left as he pleased, without even telling me."

"The phrase 'do as one pleases' is well used. Master Yuan is a man of enlightenment, so I have to call him a senior. His ancient method of refining pills has opened my eyes, and his foundation-building technique has made me yearn for it. Can you teach it to me?"

Xiao Xia was confused, "Senior, I don't understand what you are saying?"

Xiao Jianli pointed to a flat rock nearby and said, "Please sit down, young friend!"

Xiao Xia sat cross-legged on a big rock, and Xiao Xin sat on the other side without saying a word.

Xiao Jianli said slowly: "Do you know how the foundation of martial arts came about?"

"I heard it's related to Taoism?"

Xiao Jianli nodded, "There are two schools in Taoism, one is the traditional inner cultivation school, and the other is the alchemists. They all pursue immortality, but the alchemists want to take a shortcut and use elixirs to help themselves achieve enlightenment as soon as possible. The foundation of martial arts originated from the alchemists. The alchemists found that some elixirs can stimulate people's potential, so they tried every means to stabilize this potential stimulated by the drugs. This is the origin of Gu Yuan and Jie Dan.

In fact, it is very difficult to consolidate the Yuan with medicine alone, so among a thousand martial artists who can break through the barriers, only one can consolidate the Yuan at most, and that can only be done by relying on one's own extraordinary talent.

This is the principle of the alchemy school: more haste makes waste. On the contrary, the traditional inner cultivation school can also stimulate human potential through long periods of practice, and can also successfully consolidate the essence and complete the foundation.

After the foundation is built, the Taoists continue to pursue a higher level of practice, which is the transformation of emptiness. After the martial arts have completed the foundation, the warriors begin to practice weapons and various martial arts, stand out in the war, find their own status, and completely part ways with the Taoists. "

"Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Xiao Jianli smiled and said, "I have been paying attention to you. Zhang Jue led you to the path of breaking through the barriers. Zhang Jue told me that your solid essence is related to the solid foundation your mother laid for you.

But have you ever felt that since Master Yuan taught you for more than a month, your internal strength has improved by leaps and bounds compared to when the three Xiaos fought? Today, Xiao Xin told me that you actually took Yuwen Chengdu's sword, and I realized that Master Yuan must have taught you the secret of his enlightenment."

Xiao Xia was silent. Master Yuan had taught him two sections of formulas. The first section was about combing Dan Qi, which only had four formulas, while the second section had more than thirty formulas, which was very awkward. He had been practicing the second section.

Master Yuan also told him that this formula was used to control the flow of Dan Qi, and it would have unexpected effects when combined with his Chunyu Dan. In just over a month, he actually upgraded twice.

The secret of enlightenment that Xiao Jianli referred to should be the second paragraph.

Of course Xiao Xia would not reveal Master Yuan's secret, and he would not tell anyone about Xiao Jianli in front of him.

Xiao Xia said calmly, "Master Yuan taught me a formula, which only has four sentences. It is used to organize the Dan Qi flow. I use it to organize the Dan Qi flow once every morning and evening. Otherwise, he just taught me some martial arts. There are no other formulas. It should not be a secret to enlightenment."

"Oh! Can you share these four mantras with me?"

Xiao Xia smiled and shook her head, "I can't leak it without his consent." "Of course I won't ask for your secret formula for nothing, I'll exchange it with you for a treasure!"

Xiao Jianli took a box from the side and opened it. There was actually a weapon in the box. Xiao Xia could see it very clearly under the moonlight.

"Breaking Tree Spear!"

This famous spear, which had experienced many twists and turns, suddenly appeared before his eyes again.

Xiao Xia laughed and said, "Master, do you think you can attain enlightenment with just four mantras? If not, then you're at a huge loss."

"this……."

Xiao Jianli was also a little hesitant. He also doubted how Yuan Shoucheng could possibly tell Xiao Xia the secret of attaining enlightenment. That was the crystallization of every cultivator's life's work. Xiao Xia and Yuan Shoucheng were not related in any way, so Yuan Shoucheng would never give him the secret of cultivation.

Xiao Xia saw through the other person's thoughts, and he couldn't help but secretly shook his head. How could such a person who cared so much about the gains and losses of material things and was afraid of being at a disadvantage achieve enlightenment? He was just deceiving himself.

Xiao Xia continued slowly, "To be honest with you, Taoist Xiao, the real reason for my rapid progress is not Master Yuan, but the solid foundation my mother laid for me when I was a child. The four mantras that Master Yuan taught me just fully released the foundation I laid when I was young."

"I see. Well then! Let's change the terms."

Xiao Jianli took out his backup plan, "I'll exchange this spear for your Tianwang Pill formula."

Xiao Xia shook her head, "I only have the formula for Spring Rain Pill."

"I know. In fact, we are not outsiders. Your mother is my niece. There are five of us brothers, and Xiao Moke is the fourth. It's just that the hatred is too deep, so it doesn't matter if we don't recognize each other. Give me the formula of Chunyu Dan, and I will remove the part added by your mother, and it will be Tianwang Dan."

Xiao Xia already knew that the formula alone was useless. Only his mother could refine the Spring Rain Pill, so his mother gave the formula of the Spring Rain Pill to Li Ping.

Xiao Xia readily agreed, "We can exchange!"

He handed Xiao Jianli a copy of the recipe for the Spring Rain Pill that he was going to give to the Xiao family in Jiangdu.

Xiao Jianli took the formula and read it carefully, and was immediately overjoyed. This was the formula for the Tianwang Pill, and the part added by Xiao Chunyu was not included in it.

Xiao Jianli actually knew the formula of Tianwang Pill, but he only knew half of it, the name of the medicine, and he didn't know the dosage. He had been struggling with the dosage for the past ten years. He used Xiao Xin and other Taoist disciples to do experiments, but in the end only Xiao Xin succeeded, while the other Taoist disciples didn't even produce any effect on the pill.

But whether this was a problem with the medicine or a problem with personal talent, Xiao Jianli didn't know.

The success of any kind of elixir requires the unremitting efforts of countless generations over hundreds of years, repeated trial and error, and generation after generation of experiments. Even the increase or decrease of the dosage of the medicine will result in a huge loss.

Xiao Jianli is almost seventy years old and he doesn't have much time to try and make mistakes.

Now that Xiao Jianli finally got the real dosage of the Heavenly King Pill, how could he not be ecstatic.

He will be able to prepare the real Tianwang Pill, not only to give it to Xiao Xin for trial, but more importantly, he will be able to use it himself.

If he cannot attain enlightenment through Yuan Shoucheng's cultivation secrets, then he can only take another path. Relying on top-quality medicines and his own cultivation experience, perhaps he can also attain enlightenment.

"My friend, this is not the formula for Spring Rain Pill, this is actually the formula for Heavenly King Pill."

Xiao Xia was stunned. Could it be that the recipe her mother gave to Li Ping was not Chunyu Dan?
..........
Xiao Xia walked out of the Taoist temple with the box in his hand, and apologized to Xiao Xin who had escorted him out, "I took your weapon away."

Xiao Xian smiled slightly and said, "Look at what you said. The Jinling Xiao family has more than a hundred famous weapons. I can just pick one at random. But if it weren't for you, I would never have gotten the Heavenly King Pill in my life. I can't thank you enough."
