Chapter 186 Shadow Hiding Skill, Breakthrough!

After arriving at Lingdan Peak, Gu Sheng took the lead in arriving at the Sutra Pavilion.

The Scripture Collection Pavilion at Lingdan Peak is not large. Unlike the Scripture Collection Pavilion at God of War Peak, there are no martial arts techniques in it, only the elixir prescriptions and some alchemy tips compiled by the elders themselves.

There was an old man with gray hair at the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. He was lying on a rocking chair, holding a wine gourd in one hand and a huge roasted chicken leg in the other, looking very comfortable.

Although the old man's clothes were full of oil stains and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, Gu Sheng was not rude and bowed to him: "Outer disciple Gu Sheng has met the steward. I'm here to receive the detailed introduction to alchemy and medicinal materials. Illustrated book.”

The old man glanced at Gu Sheng and then pointed the finger holding the chicken leg inside the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion: "It's on the counter on the left after you go in. Take it yourself. If you want to receive the elixir, just use your identity token to swipe it. ." After saying that, he stopped looking at Gu Sheng and began to enjoy his meal.

Gu Sheng thanked him and walked into the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

The Sutra Pavilion only occupies a hundred square meters, with three bookshelves and a counter inside.

There are wooden plaques on the sides of the first two bookshelves with the three prominent characters "No Grade" engraved on them, while the last bookshelf is engraved with: "Yellow Grade".

Gu Sheng showed up and came to the counter on the left. There were two stacks of hand-stitched books on the counter. Gu Sheng also took one and then went to the bookshelf engraved with grade.

There are grids on these bookshelves, which contain brocade boxes, and there is a layer of restrictions on each surface.

The name and approximate effectiveness of the elixir inside are written on the prohibition, and the difficulty of refining is also indicated by star ratings. The difficulty is divided into five levels.

Among them, the one-star elixirs with the lowest difficulty are basically used by skin-refining realm warriors or are used for simple healing and hemostasis. Among them, the elixirs used in the blood-refining realm are basically three-star elixirs. Among them, he also discovered the bone-protecting elixir. The difficulty level is four stars and Bone Strengthening Pill is five stars.

Gu Sheng had not yet started, so he naturally did not dare to dream about these difficult methods. He chose a kind of hemostatic pill among the one-star pill prescriptions.

Gu Sheng took out his Lingdan Peak identity token and leaned it against the restraint, and the brocade box inside was ejected.

Gu Sheng picked up the cloth in the brocade box and began to look up the prescription.

The Hemostatic Pill uses very few materials, only two kinds, and the refining technique is relatively simple. The prescription for the pill is clearly written.

After Gu Sheng took the prescription and looked at it for a few minutes, the restraint in front of him suddenly flashed with red light, and a rapid beep sounded.

The old man outside the Sutra Pavilion walked in impatiently and kicked the side of the bookshelf, and then the ban returned to normal.

"You can't take these prescriptions away, you can only print them. If you don't put them back for more than five minutes, the alarm will be triggered. There are rubbing materials at the counter. You can be fooled and don't disturb my enjoyment!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng immediately came to the counter and picked up the rubbing tool to rub the elixir. After putting the elixir back, he saluted and apologized to the old man and left the Sutra Pavilion.

Looking at Gu Sheng's back, the old man smiled and said, "I haven't met such a polite little guy in many years. It's good."

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Gu Sheng came to the Hall of Merit in Lingdan Peak. He found the steward inside and told the purpose of his visit.

When the steward heard that Gu Sheng wanted to ask Elder Wang to refine the elixir, he kindly reminded him: "The elders are very expensive to refine the elixir. You might as well ask a senior from the inner sect to refine it."

Although the disciples of the inner sect are at least yellow-level alchemists, there is a high failure rate in refining elixirs. There is only one bone-washing flower, and Gu Sheng would rather spend more money to find Elder Wang. Refining.

Lin Miaomiao said that he had a high success rate in refining bone-cleansing pills.

"I want to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill. It doesn't matter if the cost is a little higher."

After hearing that Gu Sheng wanted to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill, the manager didn't try to persuade him anymore, because Elder Wang was responsible for refining the Bone Cleansing Pill for sale when he was in the sect. He was very experienced and basically never failed. He could understand Gu Sheng. Sheng’s idea.

Gu Sheng took out the bone-washing flower and said, "I can only provide the main ingredient, the bone-washing flower. Please take the trouble to exchange the other auxiliary medicines for money."

The steward quickly drew up a list of more than ten auxiliary medicines that needed to be used, with prices marked behind each medicine.

These auxiliary medicines are all low-grade medicinal materials and the price is not expensive. The total of more than ten kinds is only a little over 32,000 taels. However, the refining cost of the last one is as high as 300,000 taels, which makes Gu Sheng unable to bear it. Clicking tongue.

"This refining cost is so expensive! How much does it cost if I ask a senior from the inner sect to refine it?"

The steward smiled and said: "Elder Wang's success rate and elixir production rate in refining the Bone Cleansing Pill are very high, and the price is naturally expensive! These are still our internal prices. If outsiders come to ask for the medicine, the cost will be 500,000 taels. ! If you ask an inner disciple to refine it, it will only cost 100,000 taels, but the success rate and pill yield rate are not guaranteed."

"Hiss! No wonder everyone says that alchemists are extremely rich! That's it!"

While Gu Sheng sighed, he also made up his mind to practice alchemy. After all, this business is so profitable!

As your cultivation level gets higher and higher, the cost of martial arts training will only increase. For example, high-grade elixirs and treasures can easily start at a million taels! If there is no way to make quick money, the gap with others will only grow wider in the future.

Fortunately, Lu Junyi borrowed 300,000 taels from Gu Sheng first, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to afford so much money now.

After collecting the bone-washing flower and the banknote, the steward recorded the information on Gu Sheng's identity token: "Come back in two days to get the elixir."

After leaving Lingdan Peak, Gu Sheng returned to Fire Bamboo Forest.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, he couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Hey! Usually at this time of day, Yiming should have brought me food a long time ago. Why haven't I seen him until now? Could it be that he was delayed by something?"

Gu Sheng has become accustomed to Liu Yiming bringing food. He always feels something is missing when he didn't see him today. Fortunately, warriors are much more resistant to hunger than ordinary people, so even if they don't eat for two or three days, there will be no problem.

Gu Sheng didn't investigate further. He sat on the bed and began to practice the Shadow Hiding Skill.

When the sky was dawning, the light around Gu Sheng's body suddenly twisted, and soon his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. After a few breaths, he disappeared completely!

Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of surprise. He hurriedly opened the panel to check.

[Name]: Gu Sheng

[Age]: 17

[Realm]: Bone Refining Realm (Bronze Bone)

[Martial Arts]: Splitting Wood (First-level Tearing), Archery (First-level Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (First-level Huge Strength), Shape-shifting Bone-changing Technique (First-level Strong Body), Snake Breath Technique (First-level Snake Breath), Flying Thunder Kick (First-level Extreme Speed), Golden Body Technique (30% Perfection), Blood Rage Three Styles (44% Perfection), Helian Weapon Casting Technique (75% Minor Success), Blood Activation Technique (85% Minor Success), Shadow Hiding Technique (1% Minor Success)

…

"Finally, I have achieved minor success!"

Gu Sheng could no longer hide his joy on his face. He had just felt that his understanding of the mirror power had skyrocketed. Now, after opening the panel to check, he was sure that the Shadow Hiding Technique had broken through to minor success!

After the Shadow Hiding Technique has achieved minor success, it can achieve the effect of being invisible to the naked eye, and combined with the Snake Breath Technique, it can achieve the effect of invisibility!

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to try to enter the Chiyun Mountains alone!"

The 300,000 taels that Lu Junyi lent to Gu Sheng were originally for him to exchange for martial arts, but now Gu used it to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill. Even if he only had to pay 60,000 taels, the remaining money would definitely not be enough to exchange for a first-class martial art.

Gu Sheng had no choice before, but now that he has a choice, Gu Sheng would of course prefer a martial art with a higher upper limit.

Although he has a panel that can exert the power beyond the original martial arts, it takes a lot of time to practice. Gu Sheng now not only has to practice martial arts, but also has to practice alchemy and casting. Time is tight and cannot be wasted. His current goal is to get a few first-class martial arts to replace the martial arts that are gradually out of pace.

Gu Sheng did not leave immediately, but chose to continue practicing the Golden Body Skill. He planned to wait until he got the Bone Cleansing Pill and broke through to the Silver Bone Realm before entering the Chiyun Mountains, so that even if he encountered a particularly extreme situation, he would have more self-protection ability.

Gu Sheng felt hungry when he was practicing in the afternoon. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "Strange, why didn't he come today? Did something happen?"

Liu Yiming usually brought food to Gu Sheng regardless of whether he was there or not. Gu Sheng suddenly felt a little suspicious after not coming for two consecutive days. He took the initiative to come to Liu Yiming's wooden house.

Gu Sheng knocked on the door for a long time but didn't hear any response, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

The wooden houses of menial disciples are not big, and the furnishings are simple, just a bed and a wooden table. The house is very tidy and there is nothing unusual.

Gu Sheng saw other errand disciples passing by outside and hurriedly chased them out to ask: "Have you seen Liu Yiming?"

Since Gu Sheng beat Shi Lezhi last time, all the errand disciples knew him. When the two errand disciples saw that it was Gu Sheng, they immediately replied respectfully: "Brother Gu, we haven't seen Liu Yiming for a whole day."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't he go on duty today?"

The two shook their heads: "No. It's strange to say, I have never seen Liu Yiming absent since I entered the sect for so long. With his cultivation level, he only needs to work for a few more months to successfully become an outer disciple. It doesn't make sense for him to be absent!"

The errand disciples have fixed daily tasks. If they fail to complete them, the punishment is quite severe. Gu Sheng knows Liu Yiming well and he will definitely not be absent.

Although Liu Yiming was paid for helping him work, Gu Sheng still remembered the friendship of sending him meals during this period. From the current news, he always felt that Liu Yiming had encountered trouble.

Seeing Gu Sheng lost in thought and his expression changed, the two errand disciples did not dare to stay any longer and left quietly.

Gu Sheng had no idea at the moment, so he could only go to Shengdan City to solve the problem of stomach.

After a simple meal, Gu Sheng bought a lot of dry food to prepare for the next few days of practice.

Two days later, it was the day to get the bone-washing pill. Gu Sheng simply packed up and went to the fire bamboo forest first.

At this point, the errand disciples had already started working. Gu Sheng looked around but did not find Liu Yiming. After asking, he found out that he had disappeared for three days.

When Gu Sheng frowned and was about to leave, he heard a cheerful whistle. He looked up and saw that it was Shi Lezhi who came to inspect the work in a casual manner.

Shi Lezhi did not know that Gu Sheng had been promoted to an outer disciple, but he did not dare to ask Gu Sheng to work, so he simply chose to ignore Gu Sheng.

Seeing Shi Lezhi coming over, the errand disciple who was still talking to Gu Sheng just now immediately pretended to work seriously.

Shi Lezhi pretended to inspect and took the money before leaving, pretending that Gu Sheng didn't exist.

Gu Sheng took the initiative to stand in front of Shi Lezhi.

"What do you want to do! I'm not causing any trouble for you! I'm warning you, I'm still a member of the sect's management staff. If you dare to beat me for no reason, I'll definitely ask the law enforcement team to arrest you! Even if you know Lin Miaomiao, it's useless!"

Shi Lezhi was startled by Gu Sheng and hurriedly took a few steps back to distance himself.

Gu Sheng looked solemn, frowned and said coldly: "Liu Yiming is missing."

Shi Lezhi felt a little panicked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down. He was sure that no one saw what happened that day!

Shi Lezhi sneered: "If you don't see it, it's gone. What a fuss."

"As the manager of the handyman disciples, shouldn't you look for it?"

Faced with Gu Sheng's question, Shi Lezhi smiled sarcastically: "It's not like it has never happened that a handyman disciple could not bear the hardship and ran away. He is just a handyman disciple. Why should I find him?"

The handyman disciples are like free coolies to the sect. A few fewer people and a few more people have no impact at all.

Although Gu Sheng was not satisfied with this answer, he could do nothing about it. Based on his understanding of Liu Yiming, he was definitely not the kind of person who couldn't endure hardship!

Liu Yiming had been working in the Fire Bamboo Forest for so long, and he was about to become an official disciple. It was obviously unreasonable to run away at this time. Gu Sheng felt that there must be a hidden secret, but he had no other clues now, so he could only scratch his head viciously. He glanced at Shi Lezhi and left.

Gu Sheng came to Lingdan Peak Merit Hall and handed his token to the steward on duty today: "Hello, I'm here to get the elixir."

The steward took Gu Sheng's token, checked the information recorded on it, and quickly took out a special jade box from the counter behind him.

"You're lucky. Elder Huang did an extraordinary job in refining this time, and produced seven pills! You guys have made a lot of money!" The steward's eyes were filled with envy.

Gu Sheng opened the jade box, and there were seven black pills the size of longan spread out inside.

The pills gave off a strange medicinal fragrance, and when the fragrance entered his nose, Gu Sheng felt that his power began to work on its own to temper his bones.

"Just smelling it has such an effect, what if you eat it? It is indeed a high-grade elixir!"

Gu Sheng sighed in his heart and hurriedly put the box away with a smile on his face and said in his heart that the money was well spent!

The lowest price in the world for yellow-level low-grade elixirs is upwards of 900,000 yuan! Some special elixirs can be sold for as high as 1.5 million!

Even at the lowest price, these seven Bone Cleansing Pills are worth 6.3 million!

Gu Sheng could now suddenly understand why so many disciples from Shengdan Sect's God of War Peak risked their lives to search for medicinal materials deep in the Chiyun Mountains. This was so profitable!

The bone-washing grass itself is only worth a few hundred thousand, but once it is refined into an elixir, the price will double! One advantage that the disciples of Shengdan Sect have is that the price of asking the elders to refine the elixir is much cheaper than that of the outside world! They can make a lot of money by doing the opposite! (End of chapter)
