"Okay, please step back." Lu Zhong said irritably.
Looking at the two concubines who came out supporting the wall, their appearance could be called a moon-shy flower, and their graceful figures were absolutely stunning. It was a great enjoyment to practice together with them, but he was in a very bad mood now.
The practice of Jade Vein Gong encountered difficulties.
The Jade Vein Kung Fu has many benefits. Not only can it solve the problem of his slow cultivation, it can also be of great help in martial arts fighting. The greater the load the meridians can bear, the more spells he can use in a short period of time.
Using multiple spiritual weapons at the same time, the higher mana output rate can also exert stronger power.
There is no such thing as a mysterious and mysterious sword-power bonus when building a foundation to practice fighting. In fact, the competition is about who can output more mana than the other party in a shorter period of time.
Youdao is the power to defeat all laws.
If you can gain an advantage in mana output, you can basically gain the upper hand in a battle of tactics.
After Lv Zhong practiced the first level of Jade Vein Kung Fu and tasted the benefits, he wanted to also practice the second level.
So, after repairing the spirit puppet, he made a special trip to the market to buy a medicine boy.
Her name is "Xia He". She is a plump and beautiful woman with a fourth-level spiritual cultivation level. She once participated in a sea-going ship specializing in the East China Sea route. Unfortunately, the ship was later killed by a monster in the sea. Beast Mouth himself went bankrupt and owed a large amount of debt, so he had to choose to sell himself to pay off the debt, so he was bought by Lu Zhong for 50,000 spirit stones.
He said he was buying it, but it wasn't like being a slave. In fact, he was just working for free for a hundred years.
When Lu Zhong bought her, he not only thought that Xia He had learned alchemy and could prepare medicine for him as a medicine boy, but also had the idea of developing new business for Lintao Pavilion. Since she was once the owner of a sea ship in the East China Sea, she was very interested in sea trade. You must have some understanding, maybe it can come in handy later.
But currently, Xia He's main responsibility is still dispensing medicines.
It was easy to prepare the medicine in Changchun Fairy City, and she quickly prepared a bucket of pulse-quenching medicine.
But just like what Jade Vein Gong said, the cultivation method must be paired with the corresponding pulse-quenching prescription. For example, Lu Zhong is practicing the second level of exercises now, so he needs to use the "Pulse-Quenching Prescription Da Zhoutian Chapter", otherwise he will He would be like him today, working hard for a long time but with little effect.
"It seems that we still have to try to get together the pulse quenching prescription for the Great Zhou Tian Chapter..." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but frown again.
The Great Zhoutian Pian is different from the Little Zhoutian Pian. Most of the elixirs are more than three hundred years old. It’s not that there are none on the market. It’s just that the spiritual stones alone are not easy to buy. Basically, they will only appear in regularly held events. At auctions, or in various small circles in Changchun Fairy City, it is not unusually difficult to gather together.
Then he thought about the spirit liquid of creation, and Lu Zhong thought that this might be a breakthrough.
This secret method can solve the problem of insufficient age of the elixir. It is estimated that he can really use the elixir that is hundreds of years old to refine the pulse quenching prescription liquid he wants. At most, it will only consume more spiritual stones.
The question comes back to alchemy.
As for how to get involved in alchemy, Lu Zhong has been in Changchun Fairy City for three years and has learned a lot about the situation in the city. The people he studies are no longer only the Jindanzhai of the money layman. At present, he has re-identified two places to learn alchemy based on his own characteristics. place.
They are Yaohua Hall and Dongbulu respectively.
You can learn the inheritance of alchemy by handing over spirit stones in Judu. There are many more rules than in Jindanzhai, but fortunately they are not binding. Instead, you can take the opportunity to build relationships and integrate into the local alchemist circle.
And this is what Lu Zhong values most.
Jindanzhai has obvious advantages, but it is only suitable for monks who come to Changchun Immortal City to learn alchemy. Since he plans to stay here, it is inevitable to integrate into the local circle. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and at the same time, he can know a lot of news.
Therefore Jindanzhai was excluded.
"So, how to choose specifically?" Lu Zhong thought.
Yaohua Hall and Dongbu Lu each have their own strengths. The former has strong teachers and can teach students carefully. The disadvantage is that the hall master himself is not very accomplished in alchemy and cannot teach the third-level alchemy inheritance. However, the latter is just the opposite. He usually spends time herding sheep. With traditional teaching, how much you can learn is basically up to you, but as long as you have enough skills, you can learn the third-level alchemy inheritance that is hard to buy outside.
There was insufficient information and it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so he decided to "try out the class" first.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong washed and dressed under the service of the maid.
I have to say that the inner courtyard is really well organized under the management of Li Hejun. He doesn't have to worry about anything. Everything will be prepared in advance when he wakes up, so he can focus all his energy on important things.
After eating wontons stuffed with spiritual fish, and then drinking a bowl of chilled physalis soup carefully prepared overnight by Xia He using eighteen kinds of elixirs, which has a refreshing effect, the whole person suddenly became energetic.
"Well, it's great to cultivate immortality!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
Immortal life is precious, but immortality is out of reach, so how can it be as real as enjoying it now.
The future is promising, and if he can live such a comfortable life, with good food and wine to drink every morning, and beautiful concubines to serve him every night, and he doesn't have to sleep in the wilderness every day, hiding in remote caves and being afraid, then his previous risk will be worth it. Risking his life, he fought with others risking his life in the secret realm of Shen Yuan Palace.
Thinking of this, he became more motivated to practice.
Before going out.
Lu Zhong saw that the three girls couldn't get up for a long time. He thought it was because they were exhausted last night.
Recently I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the North District of the port city. First, a third-order sea monster came out of nowhere and flattened the port area. The ship sank and its mast was broken, causing considerable losses to the fleets of various chambers of commerce. Then some demonic cultivators sneaked in by boat and killed 20% of the mortals living there. It is said that the remaining ones have not been wiped out yet.
So he left the spirit puppet behind.
Lintao Pavilion will be much safer with the Lingpuppet Nursing Home in the middle stage of foundation building.
Outside the door, there is a bustling street.
Immortals and mortals live together in Changchun Fairy City. The inner city is mainly populated by monks and Jiajuan people from Changchun Valley, while the harbor city is mainly populated by outside monks and the descendants of outside monks. Perhaps it is the difference between closeness and distance that makes people There will be a huge difference between the order of the inner city and the port city.
At this time, people were coming and going on the street, including monks and ordinary people.
Seeing Lu Zhong, who was wearing cassocks, come out of the mansion, and being served by a beautiful maid, he stepped onto the expensive beast carriage. Everyone showed envy and wished they could replace him with their own bodies.
But they just thought about it, few of them dared to hope to become a true cultivator of foundation building.
Although there are millions of monks in Changchun Immortal City, most of them are casual cultivators at the bottom. There are only three thousand foundation-building cultivators like the master of Lintao Pavilion in the city. It can be seen that it is not easy to build foundations anywhere. Therefore, true cultivators All of them are important figures with respected status, and their strength is only lower than those dozen Jindan Daoist people.
It is natural for him to be so majestic.
There happened to be a law enforcement team patrolling the port area. When they saw the beast car starting to move, they stopped temporarily and waited for the car to pass before resuming patrol.
Driving through the neatly paved obsidian road, we soon came to a seaside pavilion.
"Dongbulu"
The owner of this medical cottage is also a Jindan master.
His name is "Dongbu Yu", and outsiders often refer to him as "Dongbu Zhenren". He is currently in the early stages of alchemy cultivation. It is said that he has a profound background in Changchun Valley, and is therefore able to open a medical hut in the central district of Hong Kong City to teach foreigners. He teaches the art of alchemy and earns as much spiritual stone as a mountain every year.
No wonder everyone in the world practices Taoism well.
Isn’t it nice to have the most profitable path in your hands?
The decoration of Dongbulu is low-key and simple, and you can see that it has been carefully decorated everywhere. Although it is not as magnificent as Jindanzhai, it has a unique charm when you take a closer look.
When he heard that Lu Zhong was here for a trial class, a follower led him to a lobby.
The layout style inside is similar to the outside, except that there are a lot of elixir illustrations hanging around. It can be seen that they are all made by famous artists. The entire lobby is in the shape of a fan-shaped staircase going downwards. There are futons placed at intervals on each step. It can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
At the other end of the lobby, there is an alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace is not big, only about ten feet high.
It is the most common style with three legs and six ears. It has a simple shape and is covered with flowers and sketches.
At this moment, there are several alchemy boys of different ages working together to take care of the furnace, cleaning the dust or adding firewood. There are also those with higher status standing aside to control the alchemy furnace.
According to the disciples, this is to prepare for teaching later.
The furnace must be preheated before making alchemy, otherwise no amount of elixir will be enough to cause harm.
The guest led Lu Zhong to the front row, then smiled and said, "Senior, please sit here for a while. If necessary, you can send the maid in the hall. The master will teach at noon later."
"Thank you!" Lu Zhong returned the favor with his hand.
As soon as I sat down, a maid came over with tea.
He was not polite, took one and tasted it carefully.
The spirit tea in the cup was like vermilion in color and exuded an elegant fragrance. It had the sweet aftertaste of spirit tea but also a hint of saltiness, which made Lu Zhong very curious.
"What kind of spiritual tea is this?"
The maid, who was at the first level of Qi Refining, first bowed and saluted, and then answered clearly:
"Senior, this is the 'Red Eyebrow Jade' produced in the East China Sea. It is essentially a type of seaweed. After being carefully prepared by the owner of the hut, it has become an excellent quality spiritual tea. In addition to the advantages of rich spiritual energy, it has long-term Drinking it also has the effect of purifying erysipelas in the body..."
"Is it really so magical?"
This was the first time Lu Zhong heard that drinking spiritual tea could purify erysipelas.
When the maid heard this, her face was full of apologies, and she said softly: "Senior, please forgive me, but Haiyi did not explain it clearly. In fact, the effect of Zhumei Jade in purifying erysipelas is far less than what senior thought. As Haiyi just said, it must be You have to drink it for a long time to have the slightest effect."
"That's it." Lu Zhongniu drank a glass and asked the maid to add more.
Time passed little by little, and more and more monks came to listen to the lectures. Each of them sat in a different position, which was determined according to each person's cultivation level. The foundation building true cultivation seat was in the front row, which is far from the alchemy furnace. Recently, there are no other people blocking the front, so I can have an unobstructed view while listening to the class.
At Chen time, the hall was already full, and latecomers could only stand at the entrance to listen to the lecture.
After a moment, the hall door closed directly.
Many latecomers were blocked out and no matter how much they begged, they would not be let in.
During the process, Lu Zhong kept his eyes closed and rested.
Soon it will be noon.
Accompanied by a powerful spiritual pressure, Master Tobu finally appeared in front of everyone. His beard and hair were all white, his face was covered with dark spots, and he looked like a slovenly old man.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
After a brief introduction, the lecture began.
After explaining it in simple terms and getting to the point, Lu Zhong also had a correct understanding of Alchemy.
I thought it was similar to traditional Chinese medicine in my previous life.
But in fact, it is medicinal chemistry.
The medicinal spiritual energy contained in elixirs can be regarded as a variety of active ingredients, each with different levels of efficacy. The so-called alchemy is to process the complex medicinal spiritual energy contained in spiritual materials through complex alchemy techniques, and undergo changes such as digestion and transformation. , the process of maximizing the spiritual energy content of the target medicine.
The final product is called "elixir".
The principle is so simple, but it is not easy to implement.
The content of Dongbu Zhenren's lecture is mainly to sort out the learning and growth path of alchemy for monks who are interested in getting involved in alchemy, and explain the various processes and concepts of alchemy one by one to clarify the learning progress and direction.
From basic concepts such as the medicinal properties and efficacy of spiritual materials, to the identification and analysis of various medicinal spiritual qi, as well as the mastery and use of various alchemy tools, to the demonstration of the basic alchemy process, until finally a batch of Qi-Yi Dan is made.
Qi Yi Dan is a medicine that helps to introduce Qi into the body.
This elixir is a non-level elixir, and occasionally monks call it "Yi Qi Pill". It is often used to practice when starting alchemy.
After Lu Zhong listened completely, he finally understood what the word "stunned" meant.
Okay, he had to admit it.
Even if I could recall the scene with the help of the scene afterwards, it is estimated that I would not be able to refine the simplest Qi-enhancing elixir on my own without obtaining the alchemy inheritance.
Of course, there is a reason why Dongbu Zhenren’s lectures were left behind and many key parts were deliberately hidden.
But the biggest problem is that he really knows nothing about alchemy.
Three days later, Lu Zhong went to listen to Yaohuatang's lecture again, and the two were similar.
After careful consideration, he finally chose Dongbulu.
The reason is simple. You can learn more by spending the same spirit stone.
Lu Zhong boasted that he had the Gray Fog Space and was at least at the forefront of his learning progress. He could master the third-level alchemy inheritance in Dongbulu's hands during the twenty-twenty-year course of alchemy lessons.
The tuition fee is one thousand spirit stones per term, which I have to say is really expensive.
However, this is the easiest way to learn alchemy except for accidentally acquiring the alchemy inheritance.
Without the support of Fuyuan background, you still want to learn alchemy?
Then you can only burn the spirit stone.
…
Lu Zhong spent the next nearly two months flipping through books.
After paying the money, you can read the classics stored in Dongbulu, which contain explanations of various common spiritual materials and detailed analysis of the spiritual energy properties of various medicines. This knowledge must be learned before making alchemy.
Memorizing these contents is equivalent to having a hand that can write before learning to write.
Secondly, the alchemy furnace and supporting spiritual materials must also be purchased in advance.
These tools are equivalent to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and are also necessary for learning to write.
As for the specific alchemy techniques, how to deal with various spiritual materials of different properties, and how to transform and generate the medicinal spiritual energy in the expected direction during the elixir process, it is equivalent to the knowledge of how to hold a pen and how to write when writing.
Lu Zhong needs to memorize all of these before the official start of Dongbu Zhenren's class at the beginning of next year.
Don’t remember?
Then just wait and listen to the Book of Heaven in class!
