Shuyang County, Baiyun Lane, Fangshi.
Yang Zhen, Caisi, and a young man named Zhao Gui were wandering around.
After Yang Zhen handed the account book to his wife, two more days passed.
This day is also the last day for Yang Zhen to observe filial piety for his "biological mother". After being adopted by his wife as his adopted son tomorrow, he will most likely become Zhao Yue'er's companion and officially take up the post.
Taking advantage of the time when he could still move around freely, he and his wife asked for leave and wanted to visit Fangshi.
In the past two days, he has made a decision to practice the [Five Elements Body Training Technique].
He calculated very clearly that the possibility of manifesting spiritual roots is 30%, and the possibility of becoming three spiritual roots and single and double spiritual roots combined is 1 in 5.
If he practices the Body Strengthening Technique, the possibility of him manifesting his spiritual roots can be increased to more than 50%.
It's like taking the college entrance examination. If you get 985, you have only a 1.5% chance of passing the exam; if you get 211, you have a 50% chance of success. No matter which choice you make, you only get one chance.
How to choose? It goes without saying that you must first become a college student.
You can still take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future!
The same is true for cultivating immortals. It is not uncommon for people with the fourth and fifth series of spiritual roots to practice the Zifu Golden Pill.
First of all, we must ensure that we enter this threshold.
He went to Fangshi this time just to learn about this exercise, how much a course of dietary therapy and medicated baths cost.
This body-building technique, in this period of mortal life, has a total of three stages and needs to be practiced ten times in total. Yang Zhen calls each training session a course of treatment.
In the first stage, there are three courses of treatment, with an interval of about three months to half a year. This stage is mainly to lay the foundation for the body. The herbs used are basically mortal plants, and the monster meat is also the most basic kind. After this stage is completed, the overall physical fitness of the person will be greatly improved, and minor disasters and ailments will basically disappear.
The second stage is also three times of cleansing. This stage focuses on the training of the internal organs. The monster meat is already required to be at the initial level, and the stimulation of the growth of the spiritual roots in the body is also at this stage.
The last stage is to consolidate and improve. When all three stages are completed, even a mortal can achieve the effect of copper skin and iron bones, and it is difficult for ordinary mortal weapons to cause harm to him. The strength is also a thousand pounds, which is already comparable to some monks in the middle stage of Qi training.
…
After Yang Zhen and his wife explained the reason, the wife arranged for two people. One is Caisi. This girl has been serving Yang Zhen almost all these days, as if she has become his personal maid, so much so that Caiyun laughs at her. The girl wasn't angry either, but her face was a little red.
The other one is Zhao Gui. This person was also born an orphan, and manifested the five spiritual roots at the age of twelve. Although his qualifications were not very good, he was still a monk. After graduating from Junguan School, he became a member of the Zhao family and his surname was changed to Zhao. However, his name cannot be included in the Zhao family's genealogy, it is just a subordinate relationship.
Zhao Gui is twenty-eight years old this year and is at the third level of qi training. His wife called him here because he is a monk and he should be with her to prevent Yang Zhen from going to the market alone as a child.
The lady took out thirty spiritual stones and gave them to Zhao Gui, and told Yang Zhen that if Yang Zhen saw anything suitable, let him pay with these spiritual stones.
Zhao Gui's eyes immediately went straight. Thirty spirit stones were given to a doll as pocket money!
His monthly salary is only three spirit stones! This is close to his annual income!
What is the origin of this doll?
He instantly imagined Yang Zhen's various identities, such as the son of a certain family who came to Zhao's house to play, the children of the wife's relatives, the children of the wife's senior schoolmates, and even,
Madame’s illegitimate son and so on.
Fortunately, he used great perseverance to suppress his mouth and did not ask questions on the spot. However, along the way, Yang Zhen was flattered and inquired about in every possible way, which annoyed Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen originally wanted to call Tiezhu, but unfortunately when she went there, he was being punished by the steward of the medicine garden, so naturally he couldn't go out. This guy didn't seem to be liked by the supervisor very much. Yang Zhen came to see him three times, and twice she caught him being scolded.
Fangshi in Shuyang County is about two or three miles away from the Zhao family gate, on a flat hillside. The entire city is just one main street running from east to west. There are many shops on the street, and behind the shops there are large and small houses, which may be warehouses or monks' residences.
The place is not too big, there are only about a hundred shops in total, and there is a large piece of flat land at the end, where casual cultivators set up stalls. It was really bustling there, with people coming and going, so lively.
This was the first time Yang Zhen saw so many immortals gathered together. Seeing these tall or short, old or young, handsome or ordinary men and women, watching them live happily, chatting, laughing, and buying and selling in front of the store, Yang Zhen liked and envied them, and looked forward to her future.
The three of them, Yang Zhen, walked through the crowd, and there was actually a candied haws seller in front of them. They used low-level spiritual fruits, one spiritual drop per bunch. Yang Zhen was reluctant to part with his spirit drops, but after bargaining, he could use silver coins, so he bought three bunches. Three people, including the big boy Zhao Gui, were wandering on the street with a candied haws in their mouths.
He has about twenty silver coins on him, all of which are rewards he got for telling stories these days.
With the Tanghulu gag, Zhao Gui finally stopped talking so much. Caisi happily licked the syrup, which was said to be made from spiritual honey. Last time I heard Sister Caiyun talk about drinking Lingmi Tea, she was so envious.
The three of them entered a spiritual herb shop, which was the Zhao family's own shop. The shopkeeper greeted Zhao Gui. After a while, a waiter came to entertain Yang Zhen.
"This is bougainvillea, ten copper coins and one tael..."
"This is called Mountain Lithospermum. It has the effect of cooling the blood and activating the blood. It costs one tael for one silver coin..."
"These are the stems of a hundred-year-old ginseng, one piece of silver..."
"The Prunella vulgaris you asked about is not available here in Fangshi. It may be sold in pharmacies in the county... The approximate price is not more than one silver coin per plant..."
As the waiter introduced it, he felt strange that this kid, who was hinted by Zhao Xianren to have a good background, came to our shop and asked about earthly herbs!
However, there was no hint of impatience on his face, and he continued to tell Yang Zhen everything, even if he didn't have it, he told Yang Zhen where to find it.
Yang Zhen silently recalled the medicinal bath formula in the first stage, and then asked about the herbs needed in the next stage. Most of the questions asked at this time were about spiritual herbs.
"The one you are asking about is sage. It has the effect of relaxing the meridians and activating the meridians. Each root contains one spiritual drop. If you exceed ten, you can get a 20% discount..."
"This is the fire-killing grass. From the name, you can tell that it is a water-type spiritual plant. Each spiritual stone has eight plants. If you need it, young master, you can have ten plants..."
"This is called Tiger Palm Leaf, an earth spiritual plant, three for each spiritual stone..."
Yang Zhen took notes while asking, and sometimes even took out a pen and paper to record the prices of these spiritual herbs. After some calculations, he secretly sighed inwardly. In the next two stages, the amount of spiritual stones spent would have doubled!
After asking, Yang Zhen took out a silver coin, thanked the waiter, and left with the two of them.
The boy touched the money, but he was quite disappointed. After asking so many questions, why didn't he buy anything?
