Chapter 325 Black Stone Old Man

The three of them walked into the courtyard and entered a hall.

Two boys in green clothes in the hall came forward and saluted Cao Guiying respectfully.

"Great Elder!"

Cao Guiying nodded.

"Is Master here?"

"The Supreme Elder is currently refining the elixir. Please wait a moment, Great Elder, and I will report back later."

"No need, I'm going to see him now."

After saying that, Qin Shaochen and the two were asked to sit and rest at the Eight Immortals table in the hall.

She herself went straight into the inner room.

The two boys in green didn't dare to stop him and stood back to the entrance of the inner room obediently.

Yang Liling knew the rules very well. After talking to Qin Shaochen for a few words, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Qin Shaochen was sitting idle and bored. He saw a bookshelf on the side wall of the hall with some books on it, so he walked closer to take a look.

As a result, I came across a book that I was very interested in.

The book is called "A Brief Introduction to Medicine".

I flipped through a few pages and found that it was a book introducing the origin and development of the Medicine Sect.

I couldn't help but be very interested.

Although Zhou Ziyao included him in the Medicine Sect, he rarely talked to him about the Medicine Sect.

Therefore, his understanding of Medicine Sect is very vague.

For a while, the Medicine Sect seemed like a weird sect that liked to make elixirs and medicines, and for a while, it felt like a huge business association that was only interested in profit.

Now that I read this book, I naturally want to take a closer look. What kind of sect is this sect that I have joined?

After reading it, I really gained a lot of insights.

It turns out that the Medicine Sect is not an independent sect, but a subordinate sect of the Spiritual Medicine Sect, a major sect in the world of cultivation.

The Spiritual Medicine Sect is one of the four major sects. It is said that the headquarters of the sect is on a fairy island overseas.

But in Lingwu Continent, there are dozens of lower sects spread across dozens of different countries.

The Medicine Sect in the Great Chu State was just one of them.

Moreover, the management of medicine sects in various places is also very different from ordinary sects.

For example, the Medicine Sect pays more attention to the dual cultivation of spiritual and martial arts. It not only values ​​the cultivation of spiritual warriors, but also does not underestimate the development of martial arts.

Furthermore, the Medicine Sect is the sect that is most involved in the world and is also the richest sect.

In the Medicine Sect, it is divided into the outer sect and the inner sect.

The inner sect resides at the mountain gate all year round. Although it has a small number of people, it has great power.

The outer sects are scattered in various cities and towns, and are headed by the elders of each outer sect.

For example, the Zhou's Medicine Hall in Zhangjiajie used to have Zhou Ziyao's name on it, but it was actually the property of the Medicine Sect.

Another example is the Wanbao Hall in Huaitian City, which is the main asset of the Medicine Sect and is jointly controlled by many outer sect elders.

Each elder has different duties and powers, and is no different from a large chamber of commerce in the secular world.

In addition to helping the sect take care of its property, the outer sect elders also have the responsibility of selecting disciples for the sect.

Third-level elders like Zhou Ziyao have a quota of outer disciples every three years.

Now, this quota is used for Qin Shaochen.

Qin Shaochen was watching it with great interest when the boy in green came forward and saluted, saying that it was the Supreme Elder who had passed down the decree, so he entered the inner gate to see him.

Qin Shaochen could only put down the book.

Only then did he realize that he was the only one summoned.

He had no choice but to nod his head to Yang Liling, and followed the boy in Tsing Yi through the corridor, then around two patios, and arrived at a house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a large alchemy furnace placed in it, and there were two smaller alchemy furnaces in the corners of the wall.

There are bottles and cans everywhere.

You can tell at first glance that it is an alchemy room.

There was an old man sitting in the room. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, his complexion was ruddy, his hair was black, and his eyes were very bright.

She seemed to be younger than Cao Guiying sitting next to her.

Qin Shaochen quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

After Cao Guiying's introduction, I found out that the energetic old man was the owner of Black Rock Peak - Old Man Black Rock.

A 120-year-old great spiritual warrior in the late stage of foundation building.

For most people, a hundred and twenty years old is considered an octogenarian.

But for the Great Spiritualist, he should still be in his prime.

At this age, he has practiced to the late stage of foundation building, and he is truly a genius of the Medicine Sect.

Old Blackstone is very kind and always has a kind smile on his face.

"You must have been exhausted after rushing here from Huaitian City."

"I have informed the dining room and prepared some food for you. After you have eaten, we will have a good talk."

Only then did Qin Shaochen discover that there was a small wooden table in the alchemy room, and several dishes were already placed on the table.

There is also a small jar of fine wine.

"this……,"

Qin Shaochen was a little surprised.

As if to relieve Qin Shaochen's nervousness, Old Blackstone said again:

"You don't have to worry."

"Whether you are a poison-proofing tyrant or not, you are already a disciple of the Medicine Sect and a member of Black Rock Peak."

"It's just that the masters I worship are different."

Old Blackstone sat down at the table while talking.

"Come, sit down and eat first, and then we can talk slowly."

Qin Shaochen was also a little hungry, so he bowed and sat down.

Cao Guiying knew that the two of them had a lot to say, so she took the opportunity to leave.

Qin Shaochen stopped being polite and started eating immediately.

Old Man Heishi seemed very happy to see Qin Shaochen eating happily.

He even drank two glasses of wine with Qin Shaochen.

Qin Shaochen was very happy to see that Old Heishi was so easy-going.

After eating, Old Heishi took Qin Shaochen for a slow walk until they reached the backyard.

Outside the courtyard gate, the Black Stone Elder stopped and said with a smile:

"Do you know why my mountain is named Black Stone Peak? And why I am called Black Stone Elder."

Qin Shaochen immediately shook his head.

"As long as you walk into that backyard, you will immediately understand why my place is called Black Stone Peak."

Qin Shaochen was curious, so he pushed open the gate and walked into the yard.

At first glance, he saw something quite bizarre.

The backyard was relatively spacious and simple.

There were grass everywhere, and only a few small trees, all planted in the corners of the courtyard wall.

In the whole yard, there was only one thing that was particularly conspicuous.

It was a huge black stone.

The stone was round, and the surface was black and shiny.

Qin Shaochen was shocked.

He had seen that thing before.

In the Black Mist Valley, where he picked bone-washing fungi, there was also such a big black stone.

"How is it? Haven't you seen it?"

The Black Stone Elder obviously misunderstood Qin Shaochen's surprised expression.

He stood behind Qin Shaochen and said with a little pride.

"When I saw this stone back then, I knew it was a rather peculiar thing."

"So, I immediately chose this mountain as my place of cultivation."

"And I gave this mountain the most appropriate name, called Black Stone Peak."

"Later, after the middle stage of foundation building, I gave myself a spiritual name, called Black Stone Old Man."

"It's all because of this strange big stone."

"So what is so magical about this stone?"

Black Stone Old Man shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"This stone must be an extraordinary treasure."

"But I have been studying this stone for decades, and until now, I still don't understand what it is."

"This..."

Qin Shaochen was stunned and couldn't help being surprised.

"Senior doesn't know either, what exactly is it?"
