"Requiem grass" is an extremely rare spiritual grass that can have an effect on the soul. It can stabilize the soul and soul, and repair the wounds of the soul. It is one of the rare spiritual grasses that can repair the wounds of the soul. It is good for metal. Injuries to the soul under the elixir stage will have an effect.
However, swallowing it directly can only exert most of its effect. If you want to fully exert the effect of Requiem Grass, you need to combine it with other spiritual herbs and elixirs to make various elixirs for consumption. This is Liu Yu The information I saw on Lingcao Xinzhi.
It is a pity that his personal background is too shallow after all, and is not as good as many families with long inheritance. Currently, there is no elixir using requiem grass as the main medicine.
Anyway, with the seeds, the requiem grass can be continuously spawned. Even if it can only exert half of its effect, Liu Yu won't feel bad.
As for the matter of collecting elixirs, we can only discuss it in the long term.
Liu Yu had long ago ordered to cross the river to collect various spiritual herbs and elixirs. Unfortunately, the harvest has been very little over the years. Most of the collected spiritual herbs and elixirs were used in the Qi refining period, and very few second-level spiritual herbs were used in the foundation building period. , not to mention the second-level elixir recipe.
It is worth mentioning that in order not to arouse others' suspicion, when he had collected the Qingyuan Dan and Yangyuan Dan spiritual grass, he did not continue to ask Jiang Qiushui to purchase the spiritual grass seeds, but instead collected the mature spiritual grass. However, It is required to purchase fresh and plantable ones as much as possible.
Liu Yu had never shown his alchemy skills in refining foundation-building elixirs in front of others, nor had he revealed to Jiang Qiushui the use of collecting spiritual grass seeds.
Therefore, it is normal to stop this behavior in time and purchase mature spiritual herbs as an alchemist, which will not arouse the ideas of other monks.
At that time, Jiang Qiu Shui had no choice but to directly collect the spiritual grass seeds. After all, his ordinary cultivation speed was too slow. If he honestly purchased the spiritual grass, at least several years would be wasted, which was intolerable.
Collecting spiritual grass seeds is extremely normal. There are many sects and families doing it, and Jade Pill Hall is not conspicuous among them.
A short-term acquisition is almost impossible to arouse suspicion and the risk is minimal.
With the uncertain future and tense situation at that time, it was natural to seize the time to improve our strength. It was worth taking a little risk.
After collecting the spiritual herbs needed for Jing Yuan Dan and Qing Yuan Dan, and collecting most of the spiritual grass seeds for Yang Yuan Dan, the elixir aspect is no longer a drag on Liu Yu, so there is no rush for the time being.
Being cautious by nature, he immediately asked Jiang Qiushui to stop purchasing spiritual grass seeds and instead purchase mature spiritual grasses.
Moreover, this task is carried out for a long time. As long as it is a new type of spiritual grass that has not been seen before, it will be put into the library first.
Even if there is no elixir, spiritual herbs can be stored for emergencies. There are more and more types of spiritual herbs in the Immortal Mansion, and I believe they will be needed one day.
Reaching out to open the jade box on his lap, looking at the dark Requiem Grass, many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind.
Then he picked up the requiem grass, washed it carefully with the low-grade Lingquanzai bought from the market, and then put it to his mouth and bit it gently.
One mouthful, two mouthfuls, in just a few mouthfuls, half of the Requiem Grass was put into the mouth and disappeared, and the remaining half was put back into the jade box.
"Gulu"
Liu Yu moved the corners of her mouth slightly and chewed gently, chewing up all the Requiem Grass in her mouth. Her Adam's apple twitched and she swallowed it all with a slight force.
After taking the Requiem Grass, he immediately sat cross-legged on the futon, assuming a cultivation posture, and then looked inside his body with his consciousness.
Requiem grass behaves very strangely. After entering the stomach, it melts quickly like some chemical reaction, turning into puddles of black juice, as rich and black as ink.
After the entire spiritual grass turned into black juice, after two or three breaths, tiny bubbles gradually appeared on the juice, and wisps of black smoke emerged from the exploded bubbles.
Under the observation of spiritual consciousness, this black smoke is like a dream, and does not seem to be bound by any concept of "quality".
Although it can be observed, it does not have any entity. It does not seem to be composed of entities, which is very different from the performance of aura.
As the black smoke is born, the volume of the black juice gradually decreases. At the same time, the black smoke also slowly dissipates, as if it disappears out of thin air, but this process is not very fast.
The black smoke is the embodiment of the power of the Requiem, and it does not exist for a long time.
Regarding the situation of the Requiem Grass, Liu Yu already knew most of it and was not surprised at all when he saw this situation.
However, the power of the medicine cannot be wasted. With a thought, he controlled the black smoke to float towards Niwan Palace.
The black smoke ignored the obstruction of flesh and blood, without passing through the meridians and acupuncture points. It passed directly through the flesh and blood and entered the Niwan Palace.
A feeling of bathing in a hot spring comes from the soul, warm and peaceful, like a spring breeze blowing on the face.
Liu Yu suddenly felt refreshed, as if all his mental fatigue disappeared at this moment, and his thinking became clear.
He knew that this was the effect of the Requiem Grass.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Liu Yu separated a small part of his spiritual consciousness and controlled the black smoke to continuously enter the Niwan Palace. At the same time, he concentrated his mind and the "wonderful method of preserving the spirit" slowly operated on the prototype of the soul.
The left side is cold, the right side is hot, and the other side is hot. The two sensations begin to spread on the soul. One moment it was cold and the next moment it turned into scorching heat. According to the past situation, it will become more and more intense.
But this time with the addition of the power of Requiem Herb, the situation has changed dramatically.
The warm and peaceful medicine stabilizes and repairs the soul, greatly weakening the cold and burning sensations. The damage and pain suffered by the soul due to the operation of the technique are also far less than before, only about one-fifth.
Liu Yu looked calm and devoted herself to the practice of the magical method of preserving the spirit.
This was the first time that he felt so relaxed and smooth since practicing the Foundation Building Chapter of the Presence of Divine Magic.
After being neutralized by the Requiem Grass, the pain of training has been greatly reduced, and the fatigue and minor damage to the soul are less than expected. It is completely different from the difficulty of training without auxiliary spiritual objects.
Half an hour later, Liu Yu completed a practice of the divine magic, slowly opened his eyes, and carefully experienced the feeling of this practice.
The whole process was easier and simpler than imagined. The damage and pain suffered by the soul was minimal. It seemed that you could start practicing again immediately, and the effect of the practice seemed to be higher than before.
The spiritual consciousness spread out in all directions. Compared with the growth after previous training, it was indeed improved a bit, Liu Yu came to the conclusion.
Only a small part of the Requiem Grass taken for half an hour was consumed, and most of it was not consumed. The prototype of the soul was also in very good condition and could be practiced again.
Seeing this, Liu Yu no longer hesitated, and immediately closed her eyes. The Yuan Shen once again circulated the magical method of preserving the spirit, and entered the state of cultivation again.
The feeling of growing stronger and more perfect fascinates the monk like the deadliest drug to mortals.
During the practice, it was almost impossible to feel the passage of time. When Liu Yu opened his eyes again, he had fully operated the magical method of preserving the soul five times, and the power of the Requiem Grass had been exhausted.
Feeling the growth of spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu showed a smile on his face.
The range of spiritual consciousness is generally one to three miles in the early stage of foundation building, four to six miles in the middle stage of foundation building, seven to nine miles in the later stage of foundation building, and ten miles at its peak in the late stage of foundation building.
His cultivation is still far from the peak of the early stage of foundation building, but his spiritual consciousness has reached the level of a monk in the middle stage of the five-mile foundation building. And after obtaining the Requiem Grass, his growth rate will accelerate, and his prospects are promising.
The vast majority of monks cannot cultivate spiritual consciousness, and this advantage will become greater and greater until a qualitative change occurs.
However, for Liu Yu now, Yuan Shen is an extremely mysterious and incomprehensible realm. Although the surface damage caused by taking Requiem Grass for cultivation is minimal, if there is any damage inside, he cannot detect it.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to practice the Divine Preservation Technique at most three times a day to avoid causing irreversible hidden dangers.
It would not be good if the spiritual consciousness grows too fast. Although the overall rate is relatively small, it still takes time to adapt.
Furthermore, this is more cost-effective. One Requiem Grass can sustain the cultivation of the Four Heavenly Existence Divine Method, minimizing consumption while maintaining a sufficient cultivation speed.
After all, the consumption of ripening this spiritual grass is not small. One hundred spiritual stones can only ripen two plants, and an average of fifty spiritual stones can ripen one plant.
Requiem Grass is worthy of being a third-level spiritual grass. Its efficacy and consumption are extraordinary. Refining a whole portion of Qingyuan Dan requires only thirty spiritual stones, while Requiem Grass costs about fifty spiritual stones. Only one plant can be ripened.
Calculated, one hundred spirit stones can only last for eight days of practice. In one year, it will take about 4,500 spirit stones to practice the magical method of preserving the gods. This still does not include the consumption of practicing Qing Yang Kung. If you include the consumption of practicing Qing Yang Kung, The total consumption of Qingyuan Dan for Yang Gong requires about 9,000 spiritual stones per year.
"Nine thousand spiritual stones!"
Liu Yu mentally estimated the cost of maintaining such a luxurious practice and couldn't help but take a breath.
This is because he has an immortal mansion, which greatly saves the cost of spiritual medicine. If it were other monks who wanted to use these spiritual herbs and elixirs to maintain such a luxurious practice, they would have to spend at least 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones every year.
Even an ordinary golden elixir monk can hardly consume more than 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones in one year's practice.
At present, Yudan Hall can provide Liu Yu with nearly four thousand spiritual stones every year, but there is still a gap of five to six thousand spiritual stones.
Although he still has more than 31,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag, it can only last for a few years of cultivation. If he continues like this and cannot find a solution, then he will have to postpone the cultivation of his soul. Practiced.
"Let's do this for now."
Liu Yu thought for a long time and came up with a solution, but he hadn't thought it through yet and was still weighing the pros and cons.
As he has been building the foundation for a long time, it is said that he has learned to refine the foundation-building elixir for a long time. Now that he has obtained the Huang family's alchemy inheritance, can he declare to the outside world that he has "successfully" refined the foundation-building elixir in a timely manner? Base period elixir?
It only takes fifteen spiritual stones to ripen a serving of the spiritual herb elixir of the Jingyuan Dan in the Immortal Mansion, while a bottle of this elixir in the outside world costs about four hundred and fifty spiritual stones.
Based on Liu Yu's current success rate of 35% in refining Jingyuan Dan, after learning the more advanced alchemy techniques in the Huang family's alchemy inheritance, he is confident that the success rate can reach over 40%, which is higher than lower.
Four out of ten alchemy materials were successfully refined. Based on the eight Jing Yuan Dan in each furnace, they were worth about 1,400 spirit stones. The ripening of ten materials for refining Jing Yuan Dan was not worth it to him who had an immortal mansion. , it only requires about 150 spirit stones, so every time you refine ten furnaces of Jingyuan Dan, you can make a net profit of more than 1,200 spirit stones.
In this way, the cost of practicing can be easily solved.
But everything has its pros and cons. The elixir must be sold in order to obtain the spirit stone. This will undoubtedly touch the interests of some monks and families and attract a lot of attention.
After all, the elixirs in the foundation-building stage are much more precious than the elixirs in the qi-refining stage.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Yu decided to put the matter aside for now. After all, he still had more than 30,000 spiritual stones in his hand and could take a few years to think about it slowly.
Putting away the jade box containing the remaining half of the Requiem Grass, he touched the storage bag and took out a brown jade slip.
It was obtained from Huang Yonghua, the Huang family's alchemy inheritance.
As for the foundation-building period elixir, I have already remembered it in my heart, so there is no need to take it out at this time.
Previously, due to environmental problems and mission issues, I had no time to check. Now that I have returned to the cave, I can calm down to check, study, and comprehend.
Liu Yu placed the five pieces against his forehead and a ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated them.
"Huang's Alchemy Classic."
The first thing that was scanned by his spiritual consciousness were these four characters, and then there were a lot of ancestral teachings and nonsense to warn the younger generation. Liu Yu directly ignored these and looked at the alchemy technique that he needed and was most interested in.
After viewing it, Liu Yu was surprised to find that the title and content description were inconsistent. Although this alchemy inheritance was ostensibly called the Huang Family Alchemy Sutra, there were actually two or three places in the content that called it the "Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra".
"That's right."
He suddenly realized that the Huang family, as a foundation-building family, could only last a few hundred years, and there were ups and downs. How could He De write a perfect alchemy inheritance on his own?
It turns out that he also came here through plunder, but his name was just changed.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's consciousness changed the beginning and changed it to "Qingzhu Dan Sutra", which was regarded as correcting the chaos.
Then he concentrated all his mind and slowly watched the contents of the alchemy inheritance. He sat still for several hours with an extremely focused expression.
Although the alchemy technique in the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra claims to be only average in the world of immortality, it is still far superior to the most basic alchemy technique recorded in the Alchemy Basics.
Whether it is purifying the essence of elixirs, or condensing elixirs and opening furnaces, they are all self-contained systems that can justify themselves.
The content is meticulous and well-organized, and the records are written from the shallower to the deeper, making Liu Yu mesmerized.
"Compared with the basics of alchemy, this Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra is far superior in all aspects, not just the alchemy techniques."
Three hours later, Liu Yu finished reading the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra and sighed slightly.
Not to mention the alchemy techniques, the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra records not only more elixir recipes, but each elixir recipe also has many experiences from previous monks, explaining the things to pay attention to when refining the corresponding elixir, as well as some fire control tips. Skills, these are things that the basics of alchemy do not have.
If he could have obtained the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra earlier, he would have avoided many detours on the road to alchemy.
Putting the jade slips into the storage bag, Liu Yu took out his alchemy manual.
After reading the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra, he had already figured out many of the previous questions, and some new ideas emerged. Of course, he had to write them down carefully.
Write down answers to previous questions and new ideas.
