"Cough cough cough! Seventh sister, don't make trouble! Go back to your place and stand!" Sun Wukong taught with a straight face.
When Seventh Sister saw that the level of the pill had dropped, she realized that she had just passed away.
Only then did he reluctantly run away from Monkey King.
"Taoist. Where are you from?" Seventh Sister looked at Monkey King curiously and asked after alchemy.
She was the first to ask about Sun Wukong's origin. Although those few were curious, none of them took the initiative to ask.
"Pindao is from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land." Sun Wukong replied while manipulating the fire.
"Dongtu Datang?" Seventh Sister was startled, and said casually, "Fortunately, you are not a monk."
"Are you waiting for the monk?" Sun Wukong looked at Qimei with great interest and asked.
"No...no." Seventh Sister knew she had said something wrong, and faltered sophistry.
"Hehe, what's so good about Tang Seng, many people are waiting for him along the way." Sun Wukong smiled and shook his head.
"The priest knows Tang Seng?" Seventh Sister asked with interest.
"Of course I know. Pindao came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and I have met him several times." Sun Wukong said.
"Have you ever heard the legend about that old monk?" Seventh Sister asked.
"What legend? He can live forever after eating it?" Monkey King asked.
Seventh Sister looked up at Monkey King in a daze, but she didn't expect Monkey King to speak so directly.
"There is such a rumor." Seventh Sister nodded and said.
"Hehe. Different people have different opinions. If it is true that the road is so difficult and full of evil spirits, he will not be able to get here." Monkey King shook his head and said nothing.
"By the way, where did you seven fairies come from?" Sun Wukong asked suddenly.
"Nine...well, we came from a far away place." Sun Wukong asked suddenly, and she almost said it directly.
"Nine?"
After Sun Wukong heard the nine characters, he thought about it for a long time but still had no idea, there are quite a few places to bring this nine characters.
"Why did the Taoist suddenly ask this?" Seventh Sister asked.
"Just curious, Pindao passed by here 11 years ago, but I haven't seen any of you fairies here at that time." Sun Wukong said.
"Oh, we came here nine years ago. We saw a Zhuogou Spring here, so we settled down here." Seventh Sister said truthfully.
The seven of them came here for the sun essence in the Zhuogou Spring.
"There is no sun energy here, don't you plan to leave?" Sun Wukong asked, actually wanting to save their lives.
In the future, when there is no sun essence in Zhuogou Spring, it doesn't matter where they go.
As for the spiritual energy in the valley, this kind of thing floats in the air and will dissipate in a short time.
"This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters. My sisters like it very much. They will probably live here temporarily." Seventh Sister thought for a while and said.
"The poor way sees that the seven of you have solid cultivation bases and profound skills, so you should be from a big family." Sun Wukong asked.
"Master...just a casual cultivator." Seventh Sister obviously didn't dare to mention his master.
"If I leave Pansi Ridge in the future, do I want to go back to Master?" Sun Wukong asked.
Seventh Sister shook her head and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
Later, Monkey King asked about their master, but Seventh Sister just shook her head and said nothing.
"It seems that their mysterious master should be a big boss. I don't know why I don't meet them anymore." Sun Wukong thought to himself.
……
The days of alchemy are really boring. If it weren't for the company of seven sweet girls with different personalities and looks, Monkey King would not be able to persist in alchemy for such a long time.
Summer is short and autumn is not long.
Soon, the cold winter fell on Pansi Ridge.
As the first snow fell, the last batch of Zhenyang pills here by Monkey King was also completed.
It took a total of 110 three days to start the furnace this time, and a total of 83 furnaces of Zhenyang Dan were refined.
Of course, during this period, there will be several shutdowns of the furnace, and the continuous working time of the pill furnace should not be too long, otherwise there is a risk of frying the furnace.
So every month of work, I have to rest for about ten days and half a month.
During this period, it was used to practice the Poison Sutra, and finally during the last training period, the Poison Sutra has been practiced to the level of Zhongcheng.
Of course, this is also thanks to the abundant aura in the valley.
A total of 83 three pills of elixir were obtained in 330 furnaces of Zhenyang Dan, with an average of about four pills in one furnace.
Among them, the second-rank golden pills and the third-rank golden pills are basically divided into half, and there are a few first-rank golden pills.
Although there are spider spirits who provide yin qi, the years of the alchemy materials are uneven.
Especially in the late stage of alchemy, the amount of old materials gradually decreased, and the quality of the elixirs also dropped.
But even so, these more than 300 Zhenyang pills are enough for spider spirits to practice for hundreds of years.
"Master Daoist. Our sisters would like to invite you to sit down the mountain tomorrow. The sisters have prepared some ideas to thank you for your hard work in alchemy during this time." The eldest sister sincerely invited.
"Let Taoist Master taste my cooking skills." Seventh Sister showed off.
"By the way! There is also the eldest sister warming your bed! Hee hee!" Seventh sister added with a smile.
For a while, the seven young ladies started fighting again, Yingying Yanyan was so lively.
Sun Wukong naturally agreed to their invitation. After several months of getting along, Monkey King found that these spider girls are not bad.
At least in the past few months, I haven't seen them eat a single person.
Moreover, they can chat better with Monkey King, and the two are considered friends.
So Monkey King also wanted to help them, at least not to be poisoned by the Journey to the West team.

===Chapter 1127 The Calamity of the Phoenix Immortal===
When Monkey King was refining the Zhenyang Pill in Pansi Ridge, everything went smoothly.
As the pills were produced one after another, his alchemy techniques became smoother and more familiar.
Snowflakes are falling, and winter is coming.
This winter is not the peace in front of Monkey King.
A great event happened in Fengxian County, a western Buddhist country thousands of miles away.
On December 23th of the 25rd year of Zhenguan, a solemn ceremony of offering offerings and fasting days was being held in the city of Fengxian County, the Buddhist kingdom of the West Heaven.
Zhaitian, also known as worshiping heaven, is a major event in Buddhist countries and monasteries to offer sacrifices to heaven and worship Buddha every year.
The Lord of Zhai prays for blessings to the heavens, and prays for good weather and good health in the coming year.
This kind of ceremony actually happens every year and is a routine.
Ceremonies are generally presided over by local officials, or the most prestigious elders.
This year's Zhaitian ceremony in Fengxian County was presided over by the county marquis Shangguan Singer himself.
On this day, three altars were set up in the Junhou Mansion, and the first altar was the main altar.
In the middle of the altar table, there are bronze statues of the Emperor of Heaven and bronze Buddha statues, together with "ten offerings" of incense, flowers, lamps, water, fruits, tea, food, treasures, beads, and clothes.
The second altar is set up to welcome the heavens.
The third altar is set up for fasting and inviting the heavens.
When the sacrifice began in the afternoon, Shangguan Singh led the shogunate officials, Taoist monks and mages to the altar.
Monks chanting scriptures, officials meditating, and each doing his own thing.
After the first altar was respected, the fragrance lingered above the offering, faintly shooting into the sky.
At the end of the second altar, there seemed to be colorful auspicious clouds shining beyond the sky.
After the two altars were completed, Shangguan Singh led the crowd to pay respects to the third altar.
This altar invites the heavens for fasting.
Shangguan Singer led the head, and Dan Chen admired and kowtowed Cang, Feng Hun Manyu's treasured building greeted the Jade Emperor, and auspicious clouds guarded the altar.
There are three worships in this respect.
During the first worship, the spirit of Zhicheng slowly ascended from the Dharma altar, and an incense dojo gradually formed above the sky.
During the second worship, it is to respectfully invite the Emperor of Heaven to come.
At this time, the Jade Emperor felt that he was floating in the Three Realms, and Luanjia was coming to Fengxian.
The third bow was about to bow down when he heard noises coming from the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
"You bastard! You're a father in vain! When I gave birth to him, when did you teach him! Now that he's beaten like this, do you want his life!"
A middle-aged woman rushed in angrily. This woman looked different from the people in the Central Plains, and she was quite western.
"Ma'am, we are currently offering offerings to the fasting days. You go back, and I will talk to you later on."
When Shangguan Singer saw the woman come out, he knew why she came.
This woman is Shangguan Singer's wife, and also the daughter of a prominent local family.
The Shangguan family migrated from the east. Even though they became the county marquis, they would naturally marry the local prominent family in order to win the hearts of the people.
"Last day, fast day! My son was almost killed by you! What are you fasting for!"
The woman refused to let her go, and pulled the prince to get off the altar.
"That bastard is bullying the good and the good, why should I teach him a lesson!"
The Marquis of the county was also angry, and he broke away from the woman's hand and shouted.
It turns out that Shangguan Singh has a son who is now 17 years old.
The Marquis of the county is busy with business all day long, but he has no time to discipline his son, but let him develop the character of a second-generation ancestor.
This morning, his son happened to be caught by Shangguan Singh when he was patrolling the city while he was robbing civilian women and injuring their lives.
The Shangguan family is a family that migrated from the east, and their means of governing the people and government are naturally similar to those of the east officials.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the son actually made trouble unscrupulously.
Shangguan Singer was so angry that he severely reprimanded his son and asked him to apologize to the people.
Although the Buddhist kingdom ostensibly advocates the equality of all beings, in fact the domestic rulers pursue class separation.
Therefore, the class differentiation is extremely obvious, and ordinary people are considered pariahs in the eyes of the upper class.
Under the influence of his mother, his son does not regard the common people as human beings, and after being taught a few words, he is full of nonsense and contradicts without any regrets.
There is no intention of apologizing to others at all.
So Shangguan Singer beat his son thirty times with his own hands, and asked people to compensate the bullied people.
How dare the common people demand compensation from the county marquis? Seeing that the prince was beaten, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
After finally appeasing the people, the son has already slipped away.
In fact, Shangguan Singer beat his son in public for the common people to see, he did not ruthless, otherwise thirty lashes would be enough to cripple him.
So he didn't care if his son ran away.
Unexpectedly, the kid told his mother about it when he got home.
When his mother heard it, Shangguan Singer beat her son in public for a group of untouchables, how could this be tolerated?
So he ran over to argue with Shangguan Singer.
In fact, Shangguan Singer wanted the woman to go back first, and explain to her the reason for his actions in private after his affairs were finished.
It's a pity that his wife has always been aggressive, and she was going to tease the county lord even if she refused to let her go, she even shouted:
"What bullying the good and the good! How can those untouchables be called good people! Our family is a Brahmin, so what if we kill those untouchables! You foreigner..."
The Marquis of the county was already angry, and when she heard that she was a foreigner, he pushed the woman away in anger.
"Bang!" The woman took two steps back and bumped into the altar.
