While talking to Shi Weiming, Meng Zhang took out a scrophulariaceae from the spirit box he carried with him.
This Scrophulariaceae has been heated for more than 500 years, which is very rare. The most important thing is that in Shi Weiming’s book on the foundation-building pill formula given to Meng Zhang, it is clearly recorded that Scrophulariaceae, which has been heated for more than 500 years, is an auxiliary medicine for refining the foundation-building pill.
Last time, Meng Zhang and Jueying picked a large amount of Scrophulariaceae in the cave of the Zijin Sect monk. Jueying thought it was troublesome. Neither she nor her master Luo Ye knew the spiritual planting technique or alchemy technique, so they gave all these scrophulariae to Meng Zhang.
After Meng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect, he transplanted all the Scrophulariaceae into Taiyi Sect.
Over the years, these scrophulariae have grown quietly in the spiritual field. Except for the occasional two sticks that were lightly heated by Yang Xueyi and used to make soup, they were basically not used.
After reading the book that Shi Weiming brought last time, Meng Zhang knew that Scrophulariaceae, which has been heated for more than 500 years, is an auxiliary medicine for refining the Foundation Building Pill.
Seeing Meng Zhang take out Scrophulariaceae, Shi Weiming’s face changed drastically. His original cold expression was gone, and he looked a little excited.
Seeing this, Meng Zhang handed him the Scrophulariaceae.
Shi Weiming carefully took over the Scrophulariaceae and inspected it carefully.
“Yes, yes, it grows naturally and is not forcibly ripened with spiritual energy. It can be used to refine the Foundation Building Pill.”
“How many more Scrophulariaceae like this do you have? How many do you have? I will accept them all at a high price.” Shi Weiming said a little eagerly.
Meng Zhang did not answer, but smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Weiming calmed down.
“Tell me, what conditions do you want before you are willing to trade?”
“I will use two figworts with a temperature of more than 500 years in exchange for Senior Gu Tanghai’s intervention to help entangle the foundation-building elders of Qingzhu Mountain.” Meng Zhang put forward the conditions.
“Two figworts are not enough. Senior Gu Tanghai is a master in the middle stage of foundation building, and he can even deal with Qingzhu Mountain.” Shi Weiming shook his head.
Next, the two engaged in some intense bargaining, going back and forth for a long time before finally reaching an agreement.
Meng Zhang provided four Scrophulariaceae plants with a temperature of more than 500 years in exchange for Gu Tanghai’s help to entangle the foundation-building elders of Qingzhu Mountain.
After reaching an agreement, Shi Weiming had a flattering smile on his face and kept making insinuations, asking how many elixirs Meng Zhang still had.
Meng Zhang did not pick many Scrophulariaceae from the cave of the Zijin Sect monks, and those with a temperature of more than 500 years were even rarer.
If he hadn’t had no choice this time, he wouldn’t have traded this batch of Scrophulariaceae.
After a few casual remarks to Shi Weiming, Meng Zhang took the initiative to change the topic.
After agreeing on the contact information with Shi Weiming, Meng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect and prepared for the next operation against Qingzhu Mountain.
More than a month later, the Mirage Desert, located more than four thousand miles east of Huojingfang City, has become very lively.
The Mirage Desert is also a relatively special desert in the endless sea of sand.
The celestial phenomena here are unpredictable, the sand dunes move frequently, and the terrain is not fixed. Moreover, illusions such as mirages often appear in the desert.
Every hundred years or so, various illusions appear more and more frequently in the Mirage Desert. Especially when huge palaces begin to appear in the center of the desert, it means that the secret realm of Mirage is about to open.
When these palace complexes first appeared, they were all illusory illusions, composed of clouds and smoke. The shape of the palace is constantly changing, and its location is constantly moving.
As time goes by, these illusions will slowly become reality. Everything in the palace feels real to the touch.
The halls and pavilions, the flowers on the pavilions, the plants, the trees, the flowers and the leaves are all exactly as if they were real. Ordinary cultivators in the Qi refining stage cannot tell the difference at all.
The time required for this process from virtual to real, from fantasy to real, is not fixed.
Sometimes it takes one or two months for a short time, and three or five months for a long time. Anyway, the time is uncertain and can be long or short.
Therefore, whenever the hundred-year period is approaching, all the major forces in the Endless Sand Sea will send monks to station themselves near the Mirage Desert for a long time. Once the huge palace complex begins to appear, the major forces will be notified immediately to avoid missing the opening period of the mirage secret realm.
More than a month ago, Qingzhushan prepared to take action against Taiyi Sect.
But in the mirage desert, a huge palace complex suddenly appeared. Moreover, according to the calculations of experienced monks, the time for the palace complex to turn from virtual to real this time is relatively short, and it may only take about a month or so.
As a result, Qingzhushan had no choice but to give up attacking Taiyi Gate for the time being and focus on the secret realm of mirage first.
Anyway, the Taiyi Sect can’t escape there. Take care of the affairs of the secret realm first, and then slowly clean up the Taiyi Sect.
The secret realm of Mirage is too important to Qingzhu Mountain, so it cannot be distracted at all.
In the sky of the Mirage Desert, a thunderous roar suddenly came. The huge palace complex in the center of the desert became more and more real.
Finally, the roaring stopped, and the huge palace complex stopped moving and became completely stable. The huge palace complex does not look unreal, it is clearly a piece of living palace.
Led by the foundation-building monks from the major cultivation forces, a large number of cultivator teams began to move from the edge of the mirage desert toward the palace complex in the center.
When they were approaching the palace complex, all the monks in the foundation-building stage stopped. Only the monks in the Qi-refining stage continued to move forward.
All the monks in the foundation building stage did not dare to get too close to the palace complex. Because there is a mysterious power in the palace complex that will actively repel the Foundation Establishment Stage monks who approach.
As for the Jindan Master, the Jindan Master of the Feihong Sect has never been near the Mirage Desert, and I don’t know why.
After entering the palace complex, all monks in the Qi Refining Stage will enter the mirage secret realm through the portal inside.
In addition to the Qi Refining Stage monks from the major forces, there were also many disguised and sneaky monks who entered the palace complex from different directions.
The foundation-building monks of Feihong Sect ignored these guys.
The more human monks enter the mirage secret realm, the greater the threat to monsters. Most of the various elixirs collected by the monks eventually fell into the hands of the Feihong Sect through various channels.
Those Qi Refining Stage monks can stay in the Mirage Secret Realm for a month. If you haven’t come out for more than a month, you will have to wait until the next hundred years for the secret realm of the mirage to open again.
Of course, it is hard to say whether the monks in the Qi Refining Stage can survive until that time.
The theoretical maximum lifespan of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage is two years, which is one hundred and twenty years. But most of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage will not live to be a hundred years old.
