Chapter 143 6 Years
Chapter 143 Six Years (Additional Update)
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.
Six years have passed since the immortal who left the world appointed Cheng Xinzhan as the White Tiger Envoy.
Cheng Xinzhan's life in the sect became peaceful, but his reputation in the sect was rising.
There are three main reasons.
The first was that on the day he took office as the White Tiger Envoy, he questioned the head of the office for abusing his power, which led to the reorganization of the Office of Correcting Unfair Conduct. This act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys made an example of them, and the atmosphere in various government offices became much better.
The second was that half a month after he took office as the White Tiger Envoy, the sect established the "Office of Workers", which was composed entirely of disciples at the first and second realms. The first chief was even a little-known disciple of the first realm who had been in the mountains for less than two years. However, even a disciple of such a low realm could pay a visit to the masters at any time.
Moreover, the first chief governor said that the "bureaucratic governance" was conceived and implemented by the White Tiger Envoy.
After these two incidents, the lives of all the disciples in the mountains who worked part-time in government offices became much better, and they all felt grateful to Cheng Xinzhan.
The third is that when the "Shugongzhi" was announced in Zongli, a "Fusong Tower" was also built.
The "Fusong Tower" collects the talismans, elixirs, spiritual grains, treasures, etc. produced by the low-level disciples in the sect. The disciples can exchange these things for various treasures and gold and silver.
It is said that the establishment of "Fusong Tower" is also related to the White Tiger Envoy.
Therefore, all the low-level disciples held Cheng Xinzhan in high esteem.
However, after he became the White Tiger Envoy, he did not blindly care for these low-level disciples. At the beginning, he could basically catch a few people who were lazy in practice or who were obsessed with alchemy, swords, talismans, and other ways and neglected the practice of inner alchemy every day.
He was never merciful to these people, especially the registered disciples who were still practicing in Xiao Wanshan. He would go deep into the houses of Xiao Wanshan, pull them out and question them loudly.
He didn't want to see an old monk who was still regretting his old age.
However, perhaps because of the previous major events, or perhaps because Cheng Xinzhan had some understanding of other things such as alchemy, swords, talismans, etc., no one who was questioned by Cheng Xinzhan could argue with him. In the end, these low-level disciples at least accepted it and corrected themselves under Cheng Xinzhan's continuous admonitions.
After these people corrected their mistakes, they did not feel any benefit at first. It was often only after three or two years that they realized that what Cheng Xinzhan said at the time were all sincere and truthful. Only then did they become convinced and had even greater respect for the White Tiger Envoy.
When these people understood what was going on, they went to Cheng Xinzhan to thank him in person, but Cheng Xinzhan just said that it was his duty. If they really wanted to thank him, then if they saw others trapped in such a maze in the future, they must enlighten them and continue to follow up and urge them, and not let anyone waste their time.
These people did this and also spread Cheng Xinzhan's words.
So under such a trend, before in Sanqing Mountain, only a few senior cultivators knew Cheng Xinzhan's name, but now everyone knows him.
So after Cheng Yifu, Cheng Nandou and Ducheng'e, he had another nickname, Cheng Cihu.
While being a good Cihu, he also did not slack off in his practice of external and internal alchemy.
During these six years, he practiced the method of clone again.
Shuangling and Youjing control the bamboo bodies to practice external alchemy, while Taiguang resides in the physical body to practice internal alchemy.
It is worth mentioning that after continuously practicing "The Secret Meaning of Changsheng Taiyuan Xianshen" and "The Principle of Taiyi Jinhua", the spirituality of Taiguang has become very strong. After Shuangling and Youjing leave the body, it can also coordinate the seven souls and other inner gods to continue to open up other physical acupoints and comprehend supernatural powers.
During these six years, he opened twelve new acupoints, all located on the qi circulation routes from the Yin and Yang Palaces to the Huangting.
During these six years, he attained four new supernatural powers.
In these six years, his other four magic swords have all been forged. After refining the fire sword, Jiang Weishan refined the water sword in less than a year, and then opened three furnaces at the same time to refine the wood, earth, and gold swords.
After refining the five magic swords, Jiang Weishan faced his fifth alchemy tribulation and successfully passed it.
Now the five magic swords are nurtured in his five palaces respectively, and the five inner gods use magic power to refine them day and night and engrave runes on the magic swords.
This is mutually reinforcing. The stronger the sword energy of the five magic swords becomes, the more proficient the five inner gods become in controlling the five elements of magic power.
During these six years, Cheng Xinzhan's medicines have become better and better. With continuous use of positive tonic medicines, Lu Chi's yin deficiency and throat paralysis have been almost cured. He can now speak, but he still stutters.
The third sister's eyes have also recovered, but the reason for her good eyesight is not because of eating sea fish or drinking medicine.
This was a path that Cheng Xinzhan had never imagined before.
As early as six years ago, when he first started learning the Dao of Alchemy, he discovered that every time he came back from Danxia Mountain, his third sister liked to sniff his body.
So one time when he was chatting with Ren Wushi while warming himself by the fire, he told Ren Wushi about this incident and joked that his own cat slave also liked the scent of elixir.
However, after hearing this, Ren Wushi asked Cheng Xinzhan to bring Li Nu to him the next day.
After Cheng Xinzhan brought the third sister to Danxia Mountain, the third sister was so excited that she jumped directly onto the alchemy furnace to sniff around. She even wanted to jump into the chimney. Cheng Xinzhan was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly carried the third sister down. There was a deep abyss at the other end of the chimney!
When Ren Wushi saw this, he laughed out loud and said that this raccoon had the blood of the dragon son Suanni and was very strong, as evidenced by the white film on his eyes.
This white film is natural. The thicker the white film is, the stronger the blood is. If you want to remove it, you must use fireworks to fumigate it. Other methods will not work. Moreover, the process of using fireworks to fumigate is the process of stimulating the blood of the Suanni in the body of the raccoon slave.
For an alchemist, it is extremely auspicious to have a spiritual pet with the blood of Suanni, because Suanni likes fireworks. Alchemists in ancient times believed that if Suanni lay on the alchemy furnace, it would bring good luck to the alchemist.
However, a raccoon with a white film on its eye is certainly not necessarily a sign of strong Suanni bloodline. Most of the time it is just an eye disease. But seeing that the third sister likes the smell of fireworks so much, it can be basically concluded that this is not a simple eye disease of an ordinary raccoon.
Ren Wushi said that Cheng Xinzhan was lucky, and that such a cat slave was rare. Ren Wushi had accidentally seen the story of the white membrane of the cat slave and the smoke-fumigation method in an ancient book about the interesting stories of alchemists, and few people knew about it.
Cheng Xinzhan was also surprised. When he exchanged the orchid for his third sister, he heard the stall owner say that his third sister had the blood of Suan Ni. However, he did not take it seriously at that time, because all the raccoons in the world were either descendants of Suan Ni or descendants of white tigers. It was possible that his third sister had the blood of Suan Ni, but Cheng Xinzhan did not believe how strong the blood was.
But I really didn't expect that, by accident, I found that the third sister actually had a lot of Suanni blood left in her.
From then on, Cheng Xinzhan would bring his third sister with him whenever he made pills. Every time he did, his third sister would lie on the furnace, not afraid of the fire or the smoke. She liked to inhale the smoke that came out of the furnace before the pill was ready.
After three or four years, the white film on the third sister's eyes faded away, revealing golden pupils and vermilion whites. When Lu Chi saw this, he stammered and told Cheng Xinzhan that this was the bloodline of the dragon son Suanni.
When Cheng Xinzhan heard this, he smiled and praised Lu Chi for his good eyesight.
In the past six years, under Lao Bai's guidance, Brother has made rapid progress. He has become proficient in earth escape and wind stepping, and has recently been preparing to refine the horizontal bone.
During this period, he sent Deng Ge'er twice to bring door god New Year pictures back to the Miao village. From Deng Ge'er's gestures and the letter from the old village chief, he knew that everything was fine in the Miao village and that the old village chief could live another ten years.
Old Bai, who initially claimed that he had not much time left, became more and more energetic and his hair became more and more lustrous when he arrived at Sanqing Mountain. He had no idea how long he had left to live.
Six years have passed, and Cheng Xinzhan feels that his bones are itching. He is thinking about something again after being still for a long time.
