Chapter 80: Exploration and Proof
Collection is still more than sixty points short, it depends on everyone's collection power whether I can update today or not.
"Hmm!" Bi Xia nodded, then turned to look at Bi Shui Zhen Ren and said: "Bi Shui Elder, as his master, you also bear the responsibility of negligence for your disciple's actions. Therefore, I will remove your elder position, from today on, you no longer have the right to teach disciples, and your treatment will be restored to that of an ordinary disciple. At the same time, Ouyang Qianyun will follow me in her cultivation from now on, so you don't need to ask about it."
"Yes!" Bi Shui had long known that she would be implicated, but now she was only removed from her position as elder and did not receive any other punishment. This was much lighter than what she had imagined, so she was already very satisfied.
As for Ouyang Qianyun, after this incident, she also lost the mood to teach, and she couldn't wait for Bi Xia to cultivate with her, so she didn't have any opinion on Bi Xia's decision.
"Alright, you go back and stabilize your injuries!" Bixia nodded and said.
"Yes!" After saying that, Bi Shui nodded her head. She didn't want to stay in this place that made her sad anymore, especially with Zhang Cheng around, so she left.
"Qianyun, from today on, you will be my official disciple. Do you have any thoughts about this?" asked Bi Xia Zhenren, looking at Ouyang Qianyun.
"Me, me..." Ou Yang Qian Yun looked at Zhang Cheng for a moment, and after getting his nod of approval, she said: "I don't have any thoughts, thank you, Master."
Zhang Cheng agreed to let Ouyang Qianyun continue staying here because he thought that Bi Xia was still acceptable, at least able to create a quiet environment for Ouyang Qianyun's cultivation.
Moreover, the Bixia Sect is just a small and unknown sect throughout the entire Jingshen Continent, and it generally wouldn't attract the attention of larger sects. She would be much quieter if she stayed here.
If she were to enter the Dà Mén Pài, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble. Of course, this was also Zhang Cheng's selfishness; he didn't want too many people entangling themselves with his future woman every day.
As for skills, although Bixia Sect didn't have many good ones, Zhang Cheng had quite a few. For his own woman, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.
So, taking all factors into consideration, Zhang Cheng felt that letting her stay in this place was a good choice.
"That's good, you can move to where I live for the next two days, so I can conveniently instruct you. As for you, you've caused such a big commotion in my Bixia Sect and brought no small loss to our sect. What do you think should be done?" Bixia Zhenren asked Zhang Cheng.
"This isn't what I wanted, it's Bishui who ambushed me first and tried to kill me. What choice did I have but to resort to extreme measures? Was I supposed to just stand there and let her kill me?" Zhang Cheng said with a bad tone.
He didn't expect this Bixia would also punish him, what kind of thing is this?
"No matter what, you have already caused losses to my Bixia Sect. A Golden Dan period master was suddenly dropped to the late stage of foundation building, and hundreds of disciples were stunned, their spirits shaken. Therefore, you must make amends!" Bixia Zhenren said sternly.
"So what do you want me to do to make up for it?" Zhang Cheng's tone gradually turned cold, although he appreciated this beautiful leader, but that didn't mean she could urinate on his neck.
If her so-called compensation is too excessive, he will also turn against him without hesitation, as long as there is still an attack of Dan dust in his Lingfu, then as long as the opponent's cultivation has not exceeded the combined period, he fears no one.
"I heard you're a disciple of the Dan Tao Sect. I wonder if you know how to refine the Return Spirit Pill?" asked Bi Xia Zhenren.
"Master, Zhang Cheng is only a two-year disciple of the Dan Tao Sect. How can he possibly refine elixirs?" Ou Yang Qian Yun said, fearing that Bi Xia would be too hard on Zhang Cheng.
"Hmm!" Bi Xia responded with a murmur, but she didn't look at Ouyang Qianyun, her eyes still fixed on Zhang Cheng.
"Are you asking me to refine some Rejuvenation Pills for you?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"Not bad, these disciples have suffered a great deal of pressure and their spirits have been slightly damaged. If this continues to develop, it will definitely affect their future cultivation. Only the Return Spirit Pill can repair their trauma. I think my request is not excessive, right?" asked Bi Xia.
"I can help you refine the Return Spirit Dan, but you need to provide the medicinal materials and prepare a dan room for me. I haven't reached the Golden Dan stage yet, so I don't have dan fire in my body, which means I can only use earth fire to refine the dan." Zhang Cheng didn't object to this proposal, and instead seemed to like it.
After all, alchemy can not only increase one's experience but also enhance the strength of one's soul, which is a win-win situation, what's there not to like?
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go ahead and take a step first. Later, I'll send someone to bring you to my Bixia Sect's dan room. As for the medicinal materials, I'll also have someone prepare them!" Bixia's eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Cheng agree to her request.
From this matter, she saw many things, just as Ouyang Qianyun said, Zhang Cheng entered the Dan Dao Zong for only two years or so, and two years or so was a very short time for a beginner to practice alchemy.
Zhang Cheng had not only reached such a height in his cultivation, but also mastered the method of refining a kind of elixir, which even she felt a little surprised.
Moreover, she could sense that Zhang Cheng must have mastered more than one kind of elixir, after all, when she casually mentioned an elixir, he would immediately respond, which meant that he had at least mastered two to three methods of elixir refinement.
Looking at it this way, Zhang Cheng's innate talent far exceeded her imagination. After all, for a beginner to master the refining methods of two or three types of elixirs, it was completely impossible without several years of practice.
And for more than two years, some of it must have been used to cultivate, so calculating this way, Zhang Cheng's actual time learning Dan is at most only one year, such talent, even she was amazed by it.
However, she was also relieved about her previous actions. After all, offending a future great Dan master would be an unwise choice.
Of course, if she knew that Zhang Cheng's mastery of Dan medicine was not just three kinds, but ten kinds, and it took less than a few months to comprehend, and the success rate of Dan formation was increased to 100%, I wonder what she would think.
"Zhang Cheng, brother, you really know how to refine elixirs?" Ouyang Qianyun hadn't studied elixir refinement herself, but she had some understanding of it, so she was surprised that Zhang Cheng could learn the art of refining medicine so quickly.
"Of course, am I a deceitful person?" Zhang Cheng responded with a sound, then rushed to Bi Xia Zhenren and said: "In addition to the Return Spirit Pill, I also want to refine some Valley Expelling Pills for Qianyun. I wonder if your sect can provide the medicinal materials together?"
"Will you still take the elixir?" Bi Xia True Person was taken aback and asked in surprise.
Although Beigudan is only a first-class elixir, it is a huge consumable item, with each sect consuming a large number every year.
Moreover, the refining of Bì Gǔ Dān is absolutely the most difficult to master among all ordinary first-grade elixirs. Generally speaking, beginners in alchemy usually learn to refine Bì Gǔ Dān last.
Zhang Cheng had actually mastered the Bu Gu Dan, which meant that he knew far more elixirs than she had previously guessed. This thoroughly shocked her, and she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: "Is this still human?!"
"Don't know if it's possible?" Zhang Cheng didn't answer his question, but instead asked this one.
He knew that in the Bi Xia Sect, disciples under the gate would not be assigned to take the Bu Gu Dan before their cultivation reached the foundation period, and could only take ordinary food.
Although the value of the Biegu Dan is not high, if it were to be equipped for everyone in the entire sect, it would still be a considerable expense. A sect like the Bixia Sect simply cannot afford it.
Don't say that Bi Xia sect can't afford it, even some other major sects can't make all their disciples take the Pi Gu Dan.
"It's possible. The medicinal materials for Beigudan are not hard to find, there are plenty in the sect, I can go get them for you anytime!" said Bi Xia Zhenren.
"That's good!" Zhang Che nodded and said.
"All right, I'll go ahead and make arrangements. Someone will come to take you over later." With that, the Green Immortal vanished into thin air.
Actually, Bi Xia Zhenren didn't expect Zhang Cheng to refine any elixirs at the beginning. She said this mainly to test Zhang Cheng and see how much he was worth.
After all, Bi Xia Sect also had a Dan Master, although the elixirs they could refine were limited to ordinary elixirs, but for them it was enough.
And she agreed to let Zhang Cheng refine the Bu Gu Dan, not because she was eager for the Bu Gu Dan, but also wanted to see how high Zhang Cheng's success rate could reach.
After all, mastering the method of alchemy and successfully producing a Dan are two completely different things. The success rate of producing a Dan can better reflect a person's true level.
Of course, Zhang Cheng had already seen this point, and he agreed to let Bi Xia refine the Return Spirit Dan. He also wanted to add a foundation-building pill to the medicine, which was intentionally done for Bi Xia Zhenren to see, wanting to prove his own strength through this matter.
Only when they see their own potential and future will they better protect Ouyang Qianyun.
