Chapter: 4390
Monks, although they emphasize harmony between heaven and humanity, emphasis on self-cultivation, and so forth, they actually prioritize the way of refining elixirs above all else.
In feudal times, people used mercury and cinnabar to refine elixirs, and then most of those who had mastered the art were senior monks like their ancestors.
When Hong Tian Shi first started practicing, he also wanted to research ancient elixir-refining techniques, but since there are so few surviving records of elixirs and classics left in the world today, he has yet to make any progress.
For so many years, he has also been collecting various materials and recipes, then trying to refine many kinds of elixirs, but basically didn't refine anything useful.
He failed repeatedly without giving up on his pursuit of refining techniques, on the contrary, as he grew older, his sense of crisis only became stronger, so he started to practice meditation for a long time, locking himself in his own hermitage every day, studying the art of elixir refinement.
However, there has been no effect until now.
Because he had suffered countless setbacks, he even began to think that perhaps this world did not exist at all any magical elixirs that could revive the dead or prolong life, it was just a futile effort by ancient Daoist masters.
But now, seeing the Blood-Stopping Pill, his expectations for refining techniques have started to build up again.
So he came here determined to ask Qing Shan about the related information of the Blood-Stopping Pill.
Qing Shan didn't seem to be surprised and directly answered: "This medicine was obtained by my father by chance, but I don't know how exactly."
Hong Tian Shi's ears perked up immediately upon hearing this, saying in a hurried manner: "Can you bother your ladyship to give me your father's contact information? I really want to know the process of getting this miraculous elixir..."
Qing Shan didn't expect Hong Tian Shi would ask so many questions and was only able to say: "I'm sorry, my father is usually quite busy, please understand."
Hong Tian Shi panicked, saying: "Don't worry, as long as your lord can spare a few minutes of his time to talk with me about the process of getting this elixir, it would be fine. If he's really too busy, I can even fly to the capital to see him and ask for guidance..."
He, holding the land deed, returned to see Hong Tian Shi entwining with Autumn Beauty, looking a bit awkward. He opened his mouth and said: "Hong Tian Shi, you just sneered at the Blood-Stopping Pill a moment ago, and now you're coming here asking questions left and right. Is this not too fitting? As people who cultivate, don't we all say that we are clear-minded and unattached?"
Hong Tian Shi heard An Chong Qiu's mocking tone and although his face didn't show it, he was very sincere and candid in saying: "An Junior, I must confess that I've been living in a state of naivety. Before Autumn Beauty revealed the Blood-Stopping Pill, I still thought that this was the best elixir in the world and I had been keeping the Rejuvenation Pill as my treasure. But now I understand that I was just a frog at the bottom of a well all along."
He continued: "It's because I've realized my own problems, so I really want to see what's outside this world, so please, An Junior and Autumn Beauty, help me..."
An Chong Qiu saw Hong Tian Shi's attitude had changed for the better, originally prepared to mock him in his heart, but he swallowed it back.
However, he didn't want Hong Tian Shi to continue bothering Autumn Beauty here, so he looked at him and said very seriously: "Hong Tian Shi, I told you earlier that this world is not just about the Blood-Stopping Pill. There's also a Rejuvenation Pill that can cure all diseases, bring people back from the dead, and even make them twenty years younger. So, instead of grasping onto the Blood-Stopping Pill, why don't you go find the Rejuvenation Pill?"
Hong Tian Shi listened to this and his whole person was stunned, asking in a breathless tone: "An Junior, are you not joking with me? Is there really a divine medicine that can make people return to youth?"
An Chong Qiu nodded seriously and said: "I used to be like you, dismissing these things. But until I saw it with my own eyes, I knew how miraculous this medicine was. If you're truly obsessed with elixirs, why don't you go find the trail of the Rejuvenation Pill?"
Hong Tian Shi asked excitedly: "An Junior, where did you see the Rejuvenation Pill?"
An Chong Qiu calmly said four words: "Huaxia, Jinling."
"Jinling?!" Hong Tian Shi exclaimed urgently, his hands together in a bow: "Thank you, An Junior! Poor Dao is going to prepare and get ready to set off for Jinling as soon as possible!"
He took a deep breath, his face filled with remorse, and said: "Grandma, this time Poor Dao not only failed to cure Mr. An, but almost caused trouble because of my own foolishness..."
The old grandmother hurriedly spoke up: "Hong Tian Shi, please don't say that! The Master's illness is critical, you must leave as soon as possible and bring the Elixir of Life with you. I'm extremely grateful for this!" JrNovels.com
