When Zhou Yang saw these purple-clothed guard disciples, he no longer avoided them, and even took the initiative to ask about Liu Menglong.
Unfortunately, Liu Menglong's position was too low and these disciples didn't know about it, so they had to continue to inquire.
The two of them went in and out of various shops while inquiring about Liu Menglong's whereabouts, searching for materials and finding people at the same time. The hard work paid off, and finally they not only found a kind of material, but also found out the whereabouts of Liu Menglong.
That material is the night white spirit fruit.
The so-called Ye Bai Ling Fruit is actually black in color!
The introduction of this fruit in the Alchemy Tips was vague. He originally thought that the Ye Bai Ling Fruit should be white, but the result surprised him.
After being introduced by the shopkeeper, he realized that there are two types of white spirit fruit: day white spirit fruit and night white spirit fruit. They can also be called day spirit fruit and night spirit fruit. The full name is usually given in books, but the abbreviation is used in the store.
As the name suggests, diurnal fruit grows during the day and is picked during the day, giving it a white color. Yebailing fruit also has a white character, but it grows at night and is picked at night, so it turns out to be black, but its full name is still Yebailing fruit.
The fruits of the former are surrounded by leaves at night and are no longer growing. The latter is surrounded by leaves during the day and is no longer growing. The two have the same origin, but their colors and medicinal effects are quite different. The Qi-Building Pill can only use Yebai Lingguo.
Zhou Yang estimated that if he used the day white spirit fruit, it would be the same as using fire grass to refine the fire spirit pill, which would not be successful.
A small spiritual fruit actually has such great knowledge. There are really many strange things in this world of cultivation, and there are too many strange materials. Zhou Yang has gained a lot of knowledge.
Looking at the Night Spirit Fruit, he suddenly had various insights in his heart.
Everything has its own specific laws of occurrence and development, which will not change due to the will of someone or something. Just like the night white spirit fruit, fire rock grass, and fire grass, their medicinal effects are innate and natural, and no one can change them.
There are endless things in nature, and there are also endless laws. So what do practitioners cultivate? What is the purpose?
However, Zhou Yang had some enlightenment at this time, which is to look for the laws and rules for the occurrence and development of things. The more laws and rules you find, the more knowledge you have, and the higher your cultivation level will be.
The cultivator who discovered the Bailing Fruit found its growth pattern and also discovered its medicinal value. This is a rule. Whether it is the Xuangang Technique or the Ten Thousand Miles Chasing Wind Technique that he has practiced, it is because predecessors have found certain laws and rules. Once you have mastered these laws and rules, you can use them, and even develop them to refine them and make them work for you. It is used by cultivators and serves the cultivators, and the same is true for his alchemy secrets.
Beyond the rules is change. Rules are not eternal, but change is always going on. Although there are many changes, the origin is the same. For example, the game of chess created by our ancestors has thousands of variations, but it remains true to its roots.
By summarizing these changes, certain patterns can be found.
The first chapter of the Thirteen Classics on Chess says: "The number of all things starts from one. The path of a game is one in three hundred and sixty. One is the master of numbers, and he moves in all directions according to his extreme..."
The opening chapter of the Thirteen Classics has the shadow of the laws of the heavenly movement. The general idea is that the origin of all things always starts from the beginning, and the number of ways of Go totals three hundred and sixty-one, which is the number of movements in the sky. The so-called one is the basis for the production of other numbers. Only by grasping this foundation can we control the four directions...
The chess game is square and static, while the chess pieces are round and moving. There are new changes every day, change is eternal, movement is the true meaning, and finding out the laws of change and the rules of operation, even if it is only a small one, is the way to win.
Of course, manpower is sometimes poor, and it is impossible to find out all the laws and rules, unless you are an immortal. But the process of finding laws and rules is the process of cultivation, and it is also the process of constantly improving oneself.
Those with advanced cultivation are those who find many patterns in changes. Those who are not good at cultivation discover few rules or have no ability to discover rules.
In fact, Zhou Yang understood some principles from playing chess a few years ago, but his cultivation level was too low at that time and his spiritual consciousness was not yet developed, so his understanding was not as profound as it is now.
"My path of cultivation is to find out more laws and rules of things? Do I also want to use it and give full play to it? It should be so. Many of the techniques and techniques in the cultivation world are what predecessors have already The laws and rules found were then sorted out, improved, and passed on, and they have been passed down to this day.
My current strength is limited, and my main task is to learn the various laws and rules discovered by my predecessors, constantly learn from and carry forward them, and constantly strengthen and enrich myself. One day, I can also look for the laws and rules of all things alone, and I can also create my own techniques and techniques! Will there really be such a day? There will definitely be one! " Zhou Yang murmured in his heart, asking and answering himself.
The small Yebai Spirit Fruit allowed Zhou Yang to vaguely see some essential things. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, it also benefited him a lot.
Fundamentally speaking, he had to thank Yidao for these enlightenments. It was Yidao who made him extremely strong-minded, broad-minded, and extremely understanding.
The process of training is the same as the process of continuously improving your playing skills. At this moment, he had the idea of combining the two into one. If the two could complement each other and promote each other, using Yidao to improve cultivation, and using cultivation to feed back Yidao, that would be really wonderful.
But his level is still too low and he lacks a deeper understanding. It is not that difficult to implement it.
"This guest hasn't paid the spirit stone yet!" Zhou Yang, who was deep in thought, was awakened by the shopkeeper's voice.
"Oh, okay, okay!" Zhou Yang hurriedly went to get the spirit stone.
"Do you only want one?" The shopkeeper looked at the man strangely, took a Night Spirit Fruit, asked a lot of questions, and then just stood there dumbly, motionless. Is there something wrong with his brain?
After waiting for a long time, the man did not say anything about paying the spirit stone or leave, so the shopkeeper opened his mouth to ask.
"Oh, no. How many spirit stones are there?" Zhou Yang woke up completely and asked hurriedly.
"Three first-grade spiritual stones."
"Okay, I want three hundred coins first."
"Okay, okay!" The shopkeeper thought that this person had a mental problem before, so he would definitely not need much, but now he had three hundred pieces in one mouthful, and it was true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, so he hurriedly got the Ye Bai Ling Fruit for Zhou Yang. .
The whereabouts of Liu Menglong and Liang Sanli were found out in a store.
Zhou Yang found a store opened by Tongzhou Trading Company. The store manager's surname was Li. He knew Liu Menglong and worked together in Anping City. Liu Menglong went to this store for the first time when he came to Dingbei.
Moreover, through the introduction of Manager Li, Liu Menglong met the trade deacon of the Dingbei branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, and the trade deacon helped him introduce the store that purchased monster materials.
Manager Li also said that another person with an unknown name did come later, and they stayed in an inn not far from the branch of the trading company.
It is a pity that Liu and Liang have gone to Nancheng at the moment and do not know when they will return. After asking Manager Li for the address of the Pengcheng Inn, Zhou Yang and Tiehu said goodbye and left the shop.
The two went straight to Pengcheng Inn, passing by the Dingbei branch of Tongzhou Commercial Bank on the way. Compared to the four major sects in Anping City, this place was much inferior. Although it was also a group of palaces, its scale and momentum were much smaller.
Pengcheng Inn is also a property of Tongzhou Commercial Bank. It is on the same street as the Dingbei branch, less than three miles away. It is suitable for Liu Menglong to live here.
If he and Liang Sanli only moved within the territory of Tongzhou Commercial Bank, they would still be very safe.
Zhou Yang and the two checked into Pengcheng Inn. This place is larger than that one. The upper room here is the real upper room. It has a quiet room, a living room, and a bedroom. It is very comfortable, and of course the price is not cheap.
But Tiehu was recovering here, so his safety was not a problem, and he could still wait for Liu and Liang.
After Tie Hu had settled down and it was still early, Zhou Yang left the inn and searched for the last material, the star stone, in the surrounding shops. He had never seen this kind of ore in Anping or Tu Yan, so he didn't know if it was sold on the market.
As a result, he was disappointed and still couldn't find it, so Zhou Yang went to the territory controlled by the other three forces.
The order on these sites is much more chaotic. People often fight with fists and kicks when they disagree, and some even die violently with swords and knives. He walked around here for less than half an hour before he almost got into a fight with someone.
The two of them fell in love with something on the stall at the same time, and they refused to give in. Zhou Yang couldn't control his anger. If they didn't agree with each other, they wanted to take action.
But when the guy looked sideways at someone, he ran away without caring about Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was about to draw his sword towards him, but the man was gone. Just as he was wondering, a man walked over quickly and reached out to pat Zhou Yang on the shoulder.
Zhou Yang turned around and saw this man wearing gray robes, with a dark complexion, tall body, and a strong back. He looked very strong, but he didn't recognize him. But when he saw this person taking action, he immediately retreated and with a horizontal sword, he wanted to fight back.
"Hey, brother, why do you hit me when you come up?" The big man in black pulled his hand back, very puzzled, thinking, I just came up to say hello, why is this man facing me with a long sword?
"Brother must have made the first move!" Zhou Yang glared at him. He secretly said that it was obviously you who made the sneak attack first, but you still blame me for hitting you when you come up. This is really weird.
"Haha, so you thought I was going to take action against you? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Hahaha!" The man shook his head, crossed his hands, and said with a high fist.
Zhou Yang did not relax, he still had the long sword in his hand, he just nodded and said: "Who is this brother? Do you know me?"
"Haha, anyone who has a grudge against Ge San is my friend. I saw that you and that kid were about to fight, and I was about to step forward to help. Who would have thought that guy could run so fast, otherwise I would definitely kill him Split into eight big pieces!" the big man laughed.
"Then why don't you go after me, brother?"
"Oh, you don't know something. This kid is not very skilled, but his escape skills are excellent. I really can't catch up with him, so my efforts will not be in vain." The big man shook his head.
