On this day, Guan Sangyue came back from outside and said: "Today I went to a place called 'Ask the Immortal Pavilion'. There are immortal masters who can help people answer questions. Depending on the difficulty of the question, you need to pay different amounts. Silver taels."
Lu You asked: "Really? What question did you ask?"
"I asked, what is the core of earth cultivation and what are the corresponding basic talismans."
"Did the other party answer?"
"I only answered a small part and gave me ten talismans, only one of which I have never seen before. I paid one hundred thousand taels of silver for this!"
“That’s worth it too!”
"I also asked a question, and the other party only charged one thousand taels."
"Yeah?"
Guan Sangyue said: "I ask, why do immortals need silver? What do you think the immortal master's answer is? He said that gold and silver are good things. Gold can temper the body, and silver can hide the soul, especially mortals and low-level monks. When they are about to die, At that time, there was a silver bottle next to him, and the soul could be hidden in it. Moreover, the silver bottle was an excellent magical weapon for storing liquids, and it was more effective than the jade bottle. In addition, many years ago, the kings of the 25 countries agreed that if they wanted to Build a 'Yao Tai Silver Palace' in Xuanyuan Terrace, hoping that one day the emperor will come back and take a look. So silver was chosen as the currency."
Lu You thought for a while and said, "Can silver bottles hide souls? This statement is somewhat interesting. Legend has it that Yue Fei was killed by Qin Hui. His daughter was young and died by throwing herself into a well with a silver bottle in her arms. Bai Juyi has a poem: "The silver bottle is drawn from the bottom of a well. , The silver bottle wants to be tied to the silk rope. Grind the jade hairpin on the stone, and the jade hairpin will be folded in the center. What can you do if the bottle sinks and the hairpin breaks? It seems that I am leaving you now. "
Guan Sangyue said: "Gold powder is used to temper the body, beautiful jade is used to hide the gods, and silver bottles are used to hide the soul. It seems that no matter where they are, gold, silver and jade are treasures."
Not long after, the main god Lu Cheng came to this world again, bringing 2,000 tons of silver.
This silver was specially ordered by the Lu family. It had no simplified Chinese characters on it and was cast like silver ingots. The sizes ranged from large to small, with the smallest being 10 taels and the largest being a thousand taels.
Lu You and Guan Sangyue went to Xuanyuan Terrace every day and bought different fairy soil in different stores.
There are many types of fairy soil, at least twenty kinds, such as black soil, grave soil, locust soil, high soil, night soil, loam soil, sky soil, blessed soil, Gao soil...
They also bought a method for cultivating fairy soil. On the basis of fairy spiritual veins, they arranged a special magic circle and used "soil worms" to gradually improve the spiritual soil, and gradually promoted it to fairy soil.
The so-called "soil worm" is a kind of spiritual worm similar to earthworms. They can be large or small. The small one is like a tachyon, and the big one is as big as an adult's arm. The color is red and a little scary.
Lu You bought some soil worms, put them in a red gourd, and prepared to give them to Lu Cheng to take back for study.
In addition to fairy soil, there are also spirit-gathering beads. Whether they are large, medium or small, you can buy as many as you want!
Once, Lu You and Guan Sangyue went to an auction and heard the "fairy spirit pulse" to their surprise!
A complete fairy spirit vein was collected by the fairy in a large pottery urn and put up for auction! The starting price is one million taels!
Lu You was very excited when he heard this.
He and Guan Sangyue are both Xuanxian, and their awe for other immortals is not that strong. Not to mention that Youguo does not allow the use of force. Even if force is to be used, it should be done when it is time to take action.
The monk in charge of the auction shouted loudly: "A complete fairy spirit vein with a clear origin and no disputes. It was brought out by a certain immortal from the endless abyss in the north. As long as you find a suitable land and bury it in the soil, it can take root." Germinate and serve as the foundation for establishing a sect!”
"The bidding starts now! Immortals please bid!"
“One million taels!
"Two million taels!"
"Two million and a half million taels..."
There are many people participating in the auction, and no matter what sect they are, they want to get involved. Naturally, the more fairy spirit veins, the better. One more fairy spirit vein can greatly increase the concentration of fairy energy and cultivate more fairy soil. , immortal gold and immortal jade, it is easier to cultivate immortals and true kings of Hedao.
In the end, Lu You paid 10.2 million taels for this fairy spirit vein!
10.2 million taels, equivalent to 510 tons!
Lu You originally thought that 2,000 tons of silver would be enough for a hundred years, but he didn't expect that one fairy spirit vein would use up so much!
"It looks like we need to get some more silver."
Half a year later, the main god Lu Cheng came again and took away the fairy spirit veins, fairy soil and soil worms, as well as the secrets of cultivating fairy soil, and also sent a thousand tons of silver.
*****
In the modern world, Lu Cheng implanted the Immortal Spiritual Veins under Yuxu Peak, which soon caused a sharp increase in the Immortal Spiritual Energy.
Although three large formations were arranged around Yuxu Peak, some of the spiritual energy still passed through the layers of formations and dispersed hundreds of miles away.
On the shores of Qinghai Lake and around Yuxu Peak, there are large areas of medicinal gardens and spiritual fields. These spiritual fields have all benefited from the improvement of spiritual veins, and the soil grade has been raised to a higher level.
Lu Cheng gave the secrets of cultivating fairy soil and soil insects to soil scientists Lu Xiuzhu and Shen Qing'an, and then took out some of various types of fairy soil and gave them to them for research.
Lu Xiuzhu has a "Spiritual Soil Research Institute" at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It originally employed hundreds of scientists. In recent years, in order to study the celestial soil, the number of staff has increased to more than 300.
There is strength in numbers, otherwise Lu Xiuzhu and his wife alone would not be able to keep up.
Lu Qingshan is still in seclusion and has advanced to become the Witch King. Because the concentration of fairy spiritual energy increased, his advancement speed was accelerated a lot.
The other two people who benefited were Jiang Qiuyun and Yang Yunxiao.
Jiang Qiuyun is already the first-level Witch King, which is equivalent to the early stage of Xuanxian; Yang Yunxiao was originally a banished Da Luo Jinxian, but at this time her skill has returned to the middle stage of Xuanxian, which is half a level higher than Jiang Qiuyun.
Only when you reach the Xuanxian level can you be keenly aware of whether there is immortal energy in the air.
For Jindan, Yuanying and Buxu monks, it doesn't matter whether they have immortal energy or not, as long as they have enough spiritual energy.
After research by medical scientist Lu Qianchuan, the eighth generation descendant of the Lu family, he compared the air at different heights of Yuxu Peak and the air at different distances from Yuxu Peak. He found that spiritual energy is spiritual energy and immortal energy is immortal energy, and each has different atoms. and molecular structure!
Lu Qianchuan published his research results in the "Imperial Medical Journal". Mortals rely on oxygen to survive; the spiritual energy that cultivators rely on to practice and advance is an isotope of oxygen atoms; and the immortal energy that immortals rely on to grow , is another isotope of oxygen atoms.
There are 18 known isotopes of oxygen, with mass numbers ranging from 11 to 28. Three of them are stable and the others are radioactive. There are three naturally occurring oxygen isotopes, namely oxygen 16, 17, and 18, all of which are stable isotopes. Among them, oxygen 16 accounts for the vast majority of natural oxygen, with an abundance of 99.76%. Other radioactive isotopes do not appear in nature and have only been produced in laboratories, and their half-lives are extremely short and very unstable.
In short, the oxygen absorbed by mortals is the oxygen isotope of proton 16; the spiritual energy absorbed by cultivators is the isotope of proton 17; the immortal energy absorbed by immortals is the isotope of proton 18.
As for the remaining 15 isotopes, they may be the vitality, Yuqi, Wang Qi, domineering Qi, Sanqing Qi, Haoran Zhengqi, Donglai Purple Qi, Xuanhuang Qi, Hongmeng Qi, etc. mentioned by Tang Yao. It cannot exist stably on the earth, but it is different on other stars.
Lu Qianchuan's research results are considered nonsense by some people.
Someone said: "Oxygen 16 accounts for 99.76%, and the remaining oxygen isotopes only account for 0.24%, which is completely negligible."
Someone said: "Most oxygen isotopes are harmful. As a cultivator, you advance by absorbing harmful gases? Isn't this nonsense?"
Some people also say: "Cultivators are different from ordinary people. If they are exactly the same, how can they live longer than a thousand years?"
Lu Cheng was half a medical scientist. He was very interested in the research results and told Lu Qianchuan to continue conducting in-depth research to see how to separate and purify the 0.24% oxygen isotope, separate oxygen 17 and 18, and put them into oxygen bottles. , maybe it can increase the speed of Xuanxian's cultivation!
Therefore, Lu Qianchuan applied for hundreds of billions of funds and asked Lu Qingcheng, the 16th generation descendant of the Lu family, to assist him and established the "Nine Qi Research Institute" to specialize in the purification of spiritual energy and fairy energy, as well as the Qi of the Three Pure Ones, Xuan Huang The generation and evolution of Qi and Hongmeng Qi.
If Xuanhuang Qi and Hongmeng Qi could be artificially created, that would be an amazing and earth-shattering breakthrough!
Lu Qingcheng is a super chemist who has received the Imperial Five-Star Medal. He originally worked at the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has been doing research on "multi-body quantum microstructure and properties", involving "color is emptiness", "empty is color", and "a flower blooms at a thought" Wait for the concept of cultivation. After being summoned by his ancestor, he left Chang'an City with his wife Jiang Zhixin and returned to Kunlun Mountain to settle down.
After that, Lu Qianchuan and Lu Qingcheng cooperated and hired many chemists and physicists from all over the country to advance the research on the nine kinds of immortal energy bit by bit.
They don't just do scientific research, they also separate and purify oxygen isotopes 17 and 18 from the air, put them into oxygen bottles, and give them to Xianshentang for sale.
Of course, when it was first launched, no one believed it or bought it, which is normal. The Lu family is in business for thousands of years and does not care about short-term results.
