Chapter 183 Tempering Pill
After the crisis at Lost Lake was temporarily resolved, Cheng Xinzhan and the other five people continued to stay there for a while, guarding against the devil's comeback, and at the same time assisting Hong Changbao in rebuilding the mountain protection formation.

The mountain protection formation of Hongmuling is very interesting. The base of the formation relies on a kind of redwood. The people of Hongmuling call it Panlong Jinshan. The leaves of this fir are thin and soft. When the wind blows, they look like fire, and also like a brocade dragon coiled on the tree. It is a spiritual wood that the Red Haired Ancestor found from overseas.

The original Redwood Ridge was named after the redwood trees that were planted all over it, and the current Lost Lake is also full of these things.

Although redwood belongs to the fire element, it is an overseas island wood and its roots like water, so it is very suitable for the Lost Lake. After Hong Changbao led his disciples to plant the trees, they used secret techniques to stimulate their growth, and now they have grown into a large area.

It is not just the scattered islands in the Lost Lake that are planted with redwoods. The place here is too small, and it would be too crowded even for the remaining people from Redwood Ridge, not to mention that Hong Changbao also wants to recruit people from the side sects of the Southern Wilderness to come in.

So this time, the people of Hongmuling planted redwoods on the dozen or so mountains on the north bank of the Wujiang River. The mountain protection formation also covered the section of the river where the Mizong Lake is located plus these dozen or so mountaintops.

The new mountain protection formation was presided over by Song Jishu to harmonize yin and yang. There were many things involved, and many adjustments and improvements were made to the original mountain protection formation of Hongmuling. The roots of the mountains and the water veins, the water and the bottom of the water, the bright river and the dark cave, the fire and wood, and the water mist, the flow of inspiration here was all controlled by Song Jishu.

And since it is located on the riverside, he has to guard against the enemy causing river floods to launch water attacks. For this reason, he asked Wu Xuanmiao to further expand the scale of the underground river under the lake to discharge flood water, and required Hong Changbao to root the red shirt deeply into the ground and into the water in order to consolidate the soil and absorb flood water.

Now, the water caves under the lake are intertwined with tree roots, and the underwater passage is even more confusing than before. Even Wu Xuanmiao has to be cautious when going down.

During the formation process, Hong Changbao and Wu Xuanmiao watched nervously the whole time, because they were completely unfamiliar with the current formation, but how could they succeed if they didn't understand their own formation?

Song Jishu naturally would not keep it to himself. He only regarded this formation as his masterpiece, which would help him to improve his attainments in the art of formations by leaps and bounds. However, he would not want to take this formation for himself.

However, the gap between those who practiced side sects and those who came out of thousand-year-old sects like Gezhaoshan was still too big. The gap was not in the realm of magic power or the awareness of fighting, but in the understanding of the mysteries of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. No matter how hard Song Jishu tried to guide them, Hong Changbao and Wu Xuanmiao were still confused and only understood half of it. Even an outsider like Cheng Xinzhan understood a lot of things, but they were still confused.

Later, seeing that the formation was getting bigger and bigger, and the spiritual energy gathered was getting stronger and stronger, the two leaders simply didn't care anymore. The disciples of Gezhao Mountain set up the formation themselves. It was something that they couldn't even ask for in the past, so what was there to be prepared for now? After the formation was completed, they could just ask Taoist Song to teach them how to use it.

Now, in this section of the Wujiang River, there is still fog on the river, covering the river and the mountains and forests on the shore. At the same time, a red light can be seen in the fog, turning the fog into a rosy glow.

Therefore, under the suggestion of Cheng Xinzhan and others, Hong Changbao and Wu Xuanmiao discussed and changed the name of Mizong Lake to Fuxia Lake. Firstly, Mizong Lake sounded stingy, and secondly, it showed a new atmosphere. The name of the sect was still Hongmuling Sect, to show that it had not forgotten the ambition of the main altar. Hong Changbao appointed himself as the leader and Wu Xuanmiao as the deputy leader.

Cheng Xinzhan and his companions could not refuse, so at Hong Changbao's earnest request, they were also registered as guest elders of Fuxia Lake.

Fuxia Lake has regained its vitality, and the Southern Demon Cult has not continued to send people here during this period. I heard that they encountered considerable trouble when expanding to Yuyang and annexing Qiongzhou Island.

What Lupao meant was that Yuyang was close to the South China Sea and was as important as Nanhuang. The coast of Yuyang must be taken, not to mention Qiongzhou Island. So they now focused their main energy there, giving Fuxia Lake a chance to catch its breath.

After the formation was completed, Song Jishu still didn't want to leave and chose to stay in Fuxia Lake to do some work to improve the mountain protection formation. It can be seen that he has become obsessed with this formation which he named "Chi Ming Lu Shui Shu Heng Tong Yue Formation".

To this end, he also ignored everyone's opposition and set the spell for entering and exiting the formation to a poem he wrote himself, which is:
The red wood burns the sky and draws the fire of Li, the blue waves condense the Qi and transform it into the essence of Kan.

The mountains are still when the black dragon sings, the rotation of the celestial wheel makes the Dao clear.

Dao Shuming, Dao Shuming, doesn't this mean that everyone who enters and leaves the formation has to say that Song Jishu is so powerful?

After the formation was basically completed, Cheng Xinzhan, Shen Zhaoming, Li Chengyan and Wang Chengyi set off, and the few decided to separate.

Li Chengyan and Wang Chengyi were preparing to go south to kill the demons, while Cheng Xinzhan thought that Wujiang was very close to Bashu, so he thought about going north to the eastern part of Shu. When Shen Zhaoming heard that Cheng Xinzhan was going to eastern Shu, he wanted to follow him.

----

In the east of Shu, Kuizhou, at the foot of Chijia Mountain, on a huge rock in the middle of the river, two figures stood side by side.

The sky was dark at this time, but the remaining stars had not yet disappeared. The shadow cast by the dark Chijia Mountain spread across the surface of the river, making the two figures appear even more lonely.

Soon after, a dark red light began to appear in the east, rising above the blue-gray clouds. At this time, most of the sky was still dark, but the walls of the Chijia Mountain were no longer pitch black. Instead, they looked like a teacup that had been used for many years, showing brown tea stains.

When the sun completely jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds, the orange light split Kuimen, and the whole mountain suddenly came alive - the rusty rock layer spit out golden sand, and the dirty tea stains suddenly turned into flowing amber. The hidden reefs and rocks in the river made the river surface not so smooth, but rippled with bits of gold. The waves crowded towards the foot of the mountain with the sunset, and the two ancient seal characters "Chijia" on the cliff wall were damp, like wet blood.

"Without Xu Tianshi entering Shu and going out to sea, the dragons in the world would not be as peaceful as they are now."

Cheng Xinzhan responded to Shen Zhaoming's words.

Shen Zhaoming nodded, feeling proud.

"But everything is too much or too little. Humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world. They know the yin and yang of heaven and are good at seeking the truth through false things. Often, hundreds of years can equal thousands of years of cultivation for demons and monsters. Therefore, for demons that do evil, we must naturally kill them to restore peace to the world. But for demons that keep to themselves, we should remember that it is not easy for them to cultivate, and we should teach them sincerely, instead of trying to kill people under the guise of exorcising demons."

The meaning of Cheng Xinzhan's words was self-evident, so Shen Zhaoming said,

"Xinzhan is referring to the several times that the Xuanmen in Shu defeated the dragon?"

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and hummed.

The most recent dragon-killing operation by the Xuanmen sect in Shu was caused by the "Heavenly Wind and Pine Snow" in Gu Yi's hand. It was said to be about slaying demons and eliminating monsters, but in fact it was about looting treasures to celebrate the birthday of some Madam Miaoyi. Isn't it ridiculous?
"Since the rise of Emei, the reputation of being overbearing has been taken away from my Jingming Sect. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad."

Shen Zhaoming shook his head and said.

Cheng Xinzhan said no more, just admired the sunrise, the morning glow swept away the darkness.

After admiring the sun shining on the red armor, it was apparently a nice day with clear blue skies, but thunder suddenly sounded from very high in the sky.

Cheng Xinzhan looked up and thought to himself: Here it comes.

The reason why he came to Kuizhou was because he heard that there were thunder and lightning all year round in this place, and he wanted to use this place to practice his "Taiyi Hunyuan Dantai Leihuo Qiangxing Secret Method".

But when Shen Zhaoming heard that he was coming to Kuizhou, he thought of the many deeds his ancestor had done in Kuizhou when he killed a dragon in Shu. He wanted to visit the ancient sites along the river and learn about water refining techniques, so he came with him so that he could protect Xinzhan. Xinzhan naturally welcomed this, as releasing the golden elixir had considerable risks, so it would be best if someone could protect him.

"Boom——"

The sound of dry thunder was rumbling, echoing repeatedly in the river gorge, deafening.

"Thank you, Zhao Ming."

Cheng Xinzhan said.

"Xinzhan, just focus on practicing the method."

Shen Zhaoming said with a smile.

Then Cheng Xinzhan turned into a beam of light, flew straight up and disappeared into the sky.

The sky here is really strange, with bright clouds and no ink, no raindrops, but thunder and rumble. Looking up, the white clouds are like a magnolia forest in full bloom in early spring, and the purple branches are thunder.

He stood in the clouds, practicing the secret techniques of the "Taiyi Secret Method" to make the golden elixir go up along the Du channel and leap out from the Baihui acupoint. This was the first time that Cheng Xinzhan's golden elixir came into the world. It was the size of a longan, shining for ten miles, and there were sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling.

However, as soon as the golden elixir appeared, it sensed the thunder outside, and immediately wanted to return to his body like a hare that appeared in the snow and saw an eagle, but he controlled it. The golden elixir was so afraid of thunder that it was impossible to expect it to take the initiative to be cleansed by thunder, but fortunately, there was a spell in the "Taiyi Secret Method" that was specifically used to attract thunder.

He summoned the "Gao Zhen", moved his wrist slightly, and moved the tip of the sword. The thunder qi was the ink, and the clouds were the paper. He wrote the talisman in the air. The head of the talisman was: Imperial Order·Thunder Department Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. The talisman orifice was a twisted and complicated "靐". When the talisman orifice was formed, the thunder in the cloud was startled and rushed over here. Finally, it ended with the foot of the Big Dipper Star Gang talisman. A cloud thunder talisman with purple characters on a white background was completed, which was:
"Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Lightning Talisman" He pinched a thunder pattern with his hand and pressed it on the talisman. The talisman flew like an arrow to chase the golden elixir that had already sensed something was wrong. The golden elixir circled around Cheng Xinzhan, just not wanting to be caught up by the thunder talisman. However, Cheng Xinzhan took sides and suddenly made a move to block the golden elixir, and the thunder talisman was imprinted on it.

"Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Zun, the thunder shakes the universe!"

He chanted the thunder spell, and the thunder talisman on the golden elixir flashed with light, and the heavenly thunder was drawn over. However, the weight and landing point of the thunder were controlled very well. The continuous thunders just brushed past the golden elixir, burning it with electric light, but none of them actually hit it.

But even so, the golden elixir was like a banana leaf in a rainstorm, shaking constantly and seemed about to fall from the clouds.

The golden elixir is filled with spiritual energy. When the golden elixir was wiped by thunder, Cheng Xinzhan himself seemed to be repeatedly crushed by the thunder chariot. His whole body seemed to be pierced by needles, and the roar resounded throughout the inner world.

However, Cheng Xinzhan had experienced true evil acupuncture, so these pains were nothing to him. He was not affected at all, and even his expression did not change.

After a series of eighty-one thunderbolts passed by, the golden elixir finally adapted to the situation, so Cheng Xinzhan immediately cast the second talisman, the "Five-Direction Thunder Drums to Suppress Evil Talisman".

He drew a line on the magic sword with his fingertips, and the blood merged into the thunder energy. The magic sword was swung into a sword flower. The talisman head ordered the Five Thunder Seal to be formed, and the "boom" in the center had already attracted five-colored lightning. The four thunder beasts stepping on the cloud pattern were used as the talisman feet, and the second thunder talisman was also driven into the golden elixir.

"The five thunders refine the evil spirit, destroy the filth and reveal the true essence!"

This is a talisman for removing the violent evil intent in heavenly thunder. The real process of tempering the pill with thunder has just begun.

Afterwards, he drew the "Purple and Green Divine Thunder Talisman", "Tianpeng Subduing Demons and Controlling Thunder Talisman", "Yin and Yang Dual Qi Combined Thunder Talisman" and "Hunyuan One Qi Melting Thunder Talisman" in succession. He printed the four talisman orifices of 龘, 灥 and 龑 on the golden elixir, which then attracted thunder like a dragon, and regarded the elixir as a pearl, swallowing and spitting it out repeatedly.

I don't know what the golden elixir is like, but Cheng Xinzhan felt as if hundreds of people were chiseling his body with chisels, and it hurt everywhere. Thousands of people were hitting gongs next to his ears, and his head was ringing.

Cheng Xinzhan kept staring at the golden elixir, but fortunately the golden elixir survived and there was no sign of damage, and the dragon and tiger on it seemed to be coming alive.

After being forged by thirty-six thunders, the golden elixir was wrapped in a layer of purple lightning. When the thunder hit the golden elixir, it made a clear sound like chimes. The golden elixir was no longer so afraid of the thunder. Instead, it found it fun and took the initiative to play with the thunder.

Seeing that Jindan was having fun and was about to go to where the thunder was more intense, Cheng Xinzhan smiled and slowly followed behind.

"Heart-to-heart!"

Shen Zhaoming suddenly called out anxiously.

Cheng Xinzhan's face changed and he immediately controlled the golden elixir back.

But at this moment, a huge purple gourd suddenly jumped out of the thundercloud, and the mouth of the gourd was aimed at Cheng Xinzhan's golden elixir, emitting a dazzling light.

Cheng Xinzhan immediately felt that the returning golden elixir was pulled by a huge force, but fortunately Zhao Ming had given him an advance warning. At this moment, the golden elixir was very close to Cheng Xinzhan. He flew forward and opened his mouth. The golden elixir, which had been playing wildly for a while and was frightened again, quickly drilled in and was swallowed into the Huangting of Cheng Xinzhan's stomach.

At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan only sensed it slightly and found that the calamity cloud in the Huangting was a little closer to the golden elixir.

It really works!

He was delighted.

"Where did this thief come from! Hand over the Thunder Treasure Orb!"

At this time, a man suddenly appeared from the clouds. He looked to be in his early twenties, with handsome features, but his face was dark, as if it had been smeared with wood ash. He held the purple gourd in his hand and raised his other hand to point a sword at Cheng Xinzhan and asked a question.

Cheng Xinzhan frowned, wondering where this idiot came from. He ignored him and went downstairs to find Shen Zhaoming.

"Where to go!"

The black-faced man also flew after him.

When they came out of the clouds, they saw in the sky that Shen Zhaoming's whisk had become extremely long, like a white snake, with a person tied up at the end. At the same time, he was wielding a sword with one hand and fighting with another person.

Cheng Xinzhan had "Gao Zhen" in his hand at this time. He swung his hand and slashed out an arc of light, hitting the man.

"How brave!"

The black-faced man followed closely behind Cheng Xinzhan. Seeing that one of his fellow disciples had been subdued and the other was being attacked from both sides, he roared and then slapped the gourd with his hand. A red sword light shot out from it. It was a flying sword, which stabbed towards Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan summoned "Taodu", and Yang Jian naturally went to look for the flying sword.

"Are you okay?"

Shen Zhaoming asked.

"Nothing, how about you?"

"Nothing. Three fools came from nowhere. They saw the flashing magic light in the thundercloud and rushed in. I told them that someone was practicing magic, but they didn't listen. That's why they started to fight and called out to you."

Shen Zhaoming had a furious look on his face.

"Thanks for your reminder."

Cheng Xinzhan was also a little angry, "Bring that man here."

Shen Zhaoming lifted up the whisk, and it quickly shortened. The man was still struggling, cursing.

Cheng Xinzhan used his magical powers to put the Yin-Yang Five Elements Hoop directly around his neck. Now he was speechless and his face turned purple.

"stop!"

The one holding the gourd yelled and took back his flying sword. Another person also stopped his attack.

"Let him go!"

Cheng Xinzhan wondered if this dark-faced man had a stupid head and was just talking nonsense. He frowned and asked,
"Whose family are you from? What's your purpose in approaching me?"

As he thought about it, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Hoop tightened, and the man was unable to breathe.

"you!"

The dark-faced man widened his eyes and wanted to yell, but seeing that his fellow disciple had already started to stick out his tongue, he quickly replied,

"So that you all know, I am Yuchi Zhenyan, a disciple of the bearded immortal Li Yuanhua from Feilei Ridge of Mount Emei. These two are my disciples of Emei. Why don't you release the people in your hands as soon as possible!"
