Zhang Daoling sat in front of the alchemy furnace, using his true energy to control the flames.
To some extent, alchemy and alchemy are similar. Tony also studied alchemy carefully when building these alchemy furnaces.
Therefore, for Zhang Daoling, this alchemy furnace is very easy to use. The mixed hydrogen and oxygen can help burn the flame and save more infuriating energy, and it is not like other ordinary fires.
The biggest difference between spiritual fire and ordinary fire is that other fuels used in ordinary fire, such as wood, contain impurities.
Therefore, in alchemy, the higher the temperature, the better. No matter how high the temperature is, it is obviously not possible to emit black smoke like burning gasoline and kerosene.
But hydrogen and oxygen are different. The product of combustion is only water, and it is very pure water. These impurities are almost negligible.
There are many medicinal materials in the pharmacy of the alchemy furnace. They have been around for thousands of years. Most of them were collected from all over the world using clairvoyance. Some of them come from the land of fairies. The medicines from the land of fairies are the best because they have enough spiritual energy.
But the most useful thing is the dragon bone that Zhang Daoling found here.
It was a real dragon bone. Even after years of changes, the spiritual energy on it had basically dissipated. However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, so he also added it.
The flame is burning in the furnace, and the flame assisted by hydrogen and oxygen shows a nice blue color.
After an unknown amount of time, as he took control, the fire in the furnace gradually subsided.
When the stove was opened again, there were three more elixirs emitting a faint golden light, some dao patterns surging in them, and there was even a faint roar of dragons.
There was also a little joy on his face.
At this moment, a voice came from behind him.
"The rhythm of the Tao is flowing, the dragons are roaring and the tigers are roaring. There are actually alchemists of your level in this world."
Zhang Daoling slowly turned his head and saw a person standing behind him, wearing a monk's robe.
There was some confusion in Zhang Daoling's eyes.
"When were you here?"
"You were here a long time ago." Xuanzang said, "I just saw that you were concentrating on refining elixirs, so the poor monk didn't bother you."
"Did my master send you in?" he continued to ask.
"Your master?" Xuanzang frowned slightly, "Is it the white-haired master?"
Zhang Daoling nodded.
"It seems that we still have some friendships with each other." Xuanzang said with a smile.
"You, a monk, have the same friendship as me, an old Taoist?" Zhang Daoling said a little funny.
"Do all dharma go to the same place?" Xuanzang said.
After a pause, he said, "The poor monk's dharma name is Xuanzang. Don't you know the taboo of his name?"
"Zhang Daoling." Zhang Daoling said.
There were some ripples in Xuanzang's eyes. He was from the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Daoling was from the Han Dynasty, so it was normal that he had not heard of Xuanzang.
But Xuanzang was different. Although the Tang Dynasty respected Buddha, he discussed Taoism with Taoists many times, so how could he not recognize this ancestor of Taoism.
He raised his hand and saluted Zhang Daoling.
"Amitabha, it turns out that it was the great heavenly master who was disrespectful and disrespectful to his face."
He looked around and said, "The superior brought me here and said there is a person here who can explain all my doubts."
Zhang Daoling was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Do you know how to do arithmetic?"
"It's relatively unfamiliar," Xuanzang said.
“The disorder of the heavenly secrets in this world is a sign of an imminent disaster, but this is the age of the end of the Dharma. All laws are not revealed and it is difficult to resist the disaster.
That's why you and I are here.
When you came, did you see the stone tablet on the side of the dragon head? "
"Jixia Academy." Xuanzang murmured in a low voice, with a thoughtful look on his face. Apparently, he also realized something.
"This place is not for preaching, but for preaching and teaching, where all dharma converges." Zhang Daoling looked at Xuanzang, "I am the Tao, and you are the Buddha. Others will come in the future to do this. The times bring about the true Taoism.”
"I see." Xuanzang murmured in a low voice. He looked at this quiet land, "Just for the Buddhist and Taoist families, the environment here will no longer be as peaceful as this."
"The same was true for Jixia Academy back then." Zhang Daoling said disapprovingly, "I don't think it's a bad thing."
"You're right." Xuanzang said with a smile, "Just thinking about such a place where all kinds of dharma gather to discuss Tao makes people look forward to it."
He looked at Zhang Daoling and said, "Find a place to sit down and drink tea. How about debating scriptures?"
"I have argued with your Taoist disciples many times in my life, but I have never argued with the Taoist Great Master."
"When I was alive, Buddhism like you was just an imported thing with little reputation." Zhang Daoling walked to the alchemy furnace and began to collect the pills. "But since you appear here, it means that in China now, your Buddhism It should occupy quite a bit of territory.”
"The Buddhas in China are different from the Buddhas in Tianzhu." Xuanzang said.
"Is this so?" Zhang Daoling thought thoughtfully.
"Are you the head of the academy here?" Xuanzang asked.
"no."
"Oh?" Xuanzang's face showed a little interest, "Even you can't become the head of the academy. Is this academy controlled by the Supreme Master himself?"
"It's not him, but it has something to do with him."
"There are not many people in this world that you, the Great Heavenly Master, can live under."
"What if... it's an ancient god?"
Xuanzang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Have you seen Nong Yu at the door of the alchemy room?" Zhang Daoling asked.
Xuanzang nodded.
"She is not a normal human being, but a creature." Zhang Daoling said.
"The art of creating human beings?" Xuanzang whispered softly, "Then the identity of that Supreme Being?"
Zhang Daoling looked at Xuanzang and said, "Since Master asked you to come here, it is obvious that you must be a great power in Buddhism.
Being able to debate scriptures and doctrines with you is obviously beneficial to me.
But alas, I still have some more important things to do. "
"I'm not in a hurry." Xuanzang said, "Anyway, we still have a lot of time, right?"
"That's true." Zhang Daoling nodded, "Let's go and take a look around here. This academy brings together the best of thousands of families. Whether it's the courtyard design or the building design, they are both elegant and grand. You should also like the Zen room. .”
"I came here earlier than you think." Xuanzang said with a smile, "The library here is very interesting."
Zhang Daoling was speechless.
But then, Xuanzang stretched out his hand to make a sign of ten and saluted Zhang Daoling.
"Amitabha."
Zhang Daoling also bowed and saluted, then left the alchemy room and walked straight to the retreat room.
The retreat room is located in the undersea mountain range that the academy relies on. It aims to be quiet and not be disturbed by others, and many barriers will be set up after it is closed.
Zhang Daoling chose a retreat room and sat cross-legged on one of the futons, and calmly put the elixir into his mouth.
He also practiced this elixir when he was in Longhu Mountain in the past. The day when the elixir was completed was also the roar of dragons and tigers. This is also the origin of the name of Longhu Mountain.
It's just that the materials used at that time were more rare, and the furnace was not very good. With the blessing of the alchemy furnace these days, the time it took him to refine the medicinal materials was shorter.
As the elixir was put into his stomach for digestion, a stream of essence energy surged out and began to flow through his limbs and bones. He felt that his whole body was enveloped by the power of the Sun, and he couldn't help but gain a lot of energy on his forehead. Sweat.
His breathing also stopped at this moment, because the true energy inside was extremely strong, and he no longer needed external breathing to maintain his vital signs.
He slowly closed his eyes and began to use his magic power to digest the medicine. Time passed little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, and he let out a deep breath after not breathing for a long time.
This turbid breath was mixed with all the filth in his body, all of which were vaporized and expelled by the power of the elixir.
As he exhaled this turbid air, his physical condition changed almost visible to the naked eye. His skin became smoother and rosier, his energy and blood became more vigorous, and his eyes gained a little more charm.
He took another deep breath, continued to exhale slowly, stood up from the ground, and stretched a little.
Although it is still not as good as his past state of three flowers gathered at the top and five qi rising to the vitality, at least his body is lighter.
He opened the door and left the retreat room. It must have been a few days since his last retreat.
He turned his head and looked at the Sutra Pavilion. He could feel the aura of Master Xuanzang inside. It seemed like he should be staying here these days.
Speaking of which, he knew that there were many good books in the library, but he hadn't gone in yet. He had just been staying in the alchemy room.
However, he didn't have time to go to the library now. He went straight to the alchemy room and opened the door to the medicine field.
To be precise, the door to the medicine field is always open, which allows the spiritual energy in the academy to nourish the medicinal materials grown in the spiritual field.
The medicine field is located in the most uninhabited area deep in Shennongjia. It is surrounded by high mountains and old forests. Many wild animals roam around. The mountains and fields are shrouded in mist, hazy and misty, like a fairyland.
The place where the door opens is a thatched cottage, which is well integrated into the surrounding environment. The soil of this spiritual field is also dug out from the land of fairies and is more nutritious.
However, this medicine field also needs people to take care of it. If it is not taken care of, these cultivated elixirs will not survive.
Zhang Daoling did not stay here for long, but threw the wooden sword in his hand upwards, then turned over and stepped on the blade, and galloped away with the sword into the distance.
This is not a sword-controlling technique, it is just dragging the sword up with true energy.
Among the Taoist skills he knows, there is a sword-controlling technique, which should be called dragging swordsmanship to be precise. He can escape with the sword and turn it into sword light. The speed is about the same as changing his body.
He will go to Longhu Mountain next.
In the coming great age, he needs to take away the magical artifacts left there in the past, and select a few talented ones from Longhu Mountain to enter the academy.
I just found out that Chapter 287 has been blocked. In fact, I didn’t want to write Beichen’s story line at the beginning, because although it was fictional, there were many things to take into account, and some metaphysical settings were troublesome to write.
But considering that since Beichen was set, it was not suitable to have only one Hogwarts, so this was added temporarily.
I originally just wanted to write briefly, but unexpectedly I overturned.
The future plot will still focus on the magical world, and Beichen will serve as the background, which will make it easier to arrange the rhythm of the plot.
