Wu Sheng watched Dong Lizi "refining elixirs" with mud, and then used the same method to refine the real elixir. If word spread, it would definitely be a shocking thing. However, after the elixir was completed, Dong Lizi criticized him, saying that the elixir he made had no spirituality. .
Unjust or not?
Wu Sheng felt that it was not unfair. . .
Dong Lizi had told him before that elixir refining must integrate the Tao that he has understood. In other words, every elixir is refined from the Tao. Only in this way can it have charm and high-quality elixirs.
Wu Sheng has been refining elixirs in recent years and is used to copying them in large quantities. How could he integrate the so-called Tao into every elixir?
Let’s not talk about whether he can do it. Even if he can do it, he will definitely not do it. Whether it's Wu Shen Wan or Sheng Gu Dan, one can make thousands of them, and more than ten furnaces have to be opened every day. Where can I find the time to integrate them?
Every step he taught Huang Lian in alchemy was to save steps, save spiritual materials, and increase the rate of elixir formation. It was completely opposite to the method of alchemy advocated by Dong Lizi.
But once high-quality elixirs were involved, Wu Sheng's plan ran into problems.
For example, he has been diligently trying to refine high-grade elixirs such as Xianmen's famous Dragon and Tiger Golden elixir, Wen Zhi's Shengyuan elixir, and Sang Tianwu's water-avoiding elixir. Even if he has ready-made elixirs in hand, he still cannot refine them. I always felt like something was missing, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was what Donglizi said.
Another example is the only top-grade elixir he has mastered so far - Liuwei Dihuang Pills. Although it can be refined, its effect is always three points higher than the genuine Longevity Pill from Jixia Academy. Through the feedback from Shen Yueniang, and the user Shen Zhi My direct experience is that a course of treatment (three pills) of Liuwei Dihuang Pills can extend the life of a person for about three years to less than four years, while the genuine product of Jixia Xuegong is a full five years.
This is the gap.
Therefore, Wu Sheng sincerely asked for advice: "Senior has mentioned the practice of refining the Tao into elixirs before, but after thinking about it, I can't figure it out. What kind of Tao can be refined into the elixir? And how to do it?"
Donglizi stroked his beard and replied: "Tao is different. Everyone has his own opportunity. This is the original one. Others cannot learn from it or understand it. How can it be said? But Tao is not only one, but it has incarnated into millions. , there is one thing that can remind you, what is the purpose of making alchemy? If you think about it according to this question, you may be able to understand its true meaning."
Okay, Wu Sheng will follow this line of thinking for the time being.
The purpose of refining the Tianxiang Pill is naturally to conceal one's identity, disguise oneself with makeup, and prevent others from noticing. What is the meaning behind this?
Of course Wu Sheng has his own understanding of Tao, and as Dong Lizi said, his Tao is divided into trillions. Of course, he has not understood that much so far, only more than a hundred theorems.
If we refine the understanding of these Tao into the elixir, the first problem we face is how to incorporate these cloud patterns into the elixir?
Cloud patterns can be penetrated into the air sea and used to build air sea islands. This is because the air sea islands were originally shaped according to Qingmiao Xuan Gong, relying on the Tai Chi ball for visualization, and using the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi ball to transform the spiritual sand. Then build the sea of qi, which is based on the moiré pattern from beginning to end. Continuously adding moiré patterns is like constantly reinforcing or expanding its frame structure, and everything falls into place.
Alchemy is different. Spiritual materials, alchemy furnaces, and real fire are all external objects. Cloud patterns belong to the category of inner consciousness. How to get in?
Asked about Dong Lizi's experience, Dong Lizi said: "I divide spiritual materials according to the five elements. The proportioning, feeding, and fire control are all in line with the five elements. It itself contains the great truth, and there is no need to do anything more. You said it. What does "enter" mean? Why didn't I understand?"
So Wu Sheng understood that the old man was showing off in a low-key manner, showing off that his Five Elements Alchemy Method was superior to others, and his Five Elements Method was naturally integrated into the alchemy process.
But the Way of the Five Elements is not advisable for Wu Sheng. Let alone the Way of the Five Elements, any other way has no chance for him, because he has embarked on the path of no return of the Tai Chi Ball, and the entire Qi Sea is formed from the top. It is composed of hundreds of theorems, how can it be possible to start from scratch?
Wu Sheng calmed down. Since he was going to start from the theorem, he should understand all the nine cloud patterns that had not yet been solved. These nine cloud patterns include the cloud patterns in the natal poison bead of the witch doctor Snake Lao, and the others come from various magic circles that were eaten when Langshan revisited the mountain.
So Wu Sheng fell into a state of fantasy. Donglizi knew that he was thinking about refining Taoism and entering elixirs, so he didn't bother him. The old man returned to his old days, free and carefree.
For many days in a row, Wu Sheng either lay down in the alchemy room in various indecent postures, or walked in circles in the yard with his hands behind his back, and sometimes sat all night in the autumn wind.
Seeing Wu Sheng getting into trouble and acting like a demon, the old man would also think of ways to interrupt him. For example, take him to hunt pine cones in the dense forest, or take him to the river to fish.
When he was hunting pine cones in the dense forest, Wu Sheng could not help but dance for a while because he understood the momentum theorem; while fishing by the river, he actually jumped into the river with a simple sound, which was because he understood the refraction theorem of light. .
Compared with the cloud patterns taught by Taoist Mu back then, these cloud patterns all come from magic formations, are much more complex in composition, and contain much more subtle ways of heaven and earth, making them very difficult to comprehend. In more than two months, Wu Sheng completed eight of the nine cloud patterns and entered the Qi Sea Island one after another.
Of course, the benefits are obvious. Although the Qihai Island no longer accumulates spiritual sand, it does not refuse the entry of new cloud patterns. Every cloud pattern added to it enriches the world structure of the island and makes the world more concrete and realistic. , more colorful.
Only the cloud patterns extracted from the poison beads of the witch doctor Snake Lao have never been understood. Wu Sheng had extracted two dynamic cloud patterns like this, and it was very difficult to understand them. The first one was obtained from the stone beast in front of Zuotu Mansion in Yangzhou. By chance, he was able to understand it when it was bounced away by the scholar in white. Where is the opportunity this time?
Regarding cloud patterns, Wu Sheng has currently come into contact with two types. One is the cloud pattern slip taught by Mu Taoist, and the other is extracted from the magic circle or the natal magic weapon. No matter which one is written, it is not simply written intuitively like words, but is visualized. So far, Wu Sheng has not heard of the existence of cloud patterns from other places.
Since Dong Lizi was an expert in alchemy, Wu Sheng was going to take out the cloud pattern and test it to see if the expert understood it.
"The junior has a friend who once saw such a text by chance, but I don't know if it is an ancient text. The senior is well-informed. Can you help identify it?"
"Ancient texts?"
"Look, this is it. There are two small wavy short pens on the top, and a horizontal pen in the middle..."
This was the first cloud pattern that Wu Sheng understood from Taoist Mu. But he didn't have the book in his hand, so he could only draw it. In fact, he didn't know if it was useful to draw it like this, because the cloud pattern is something that everyone sees. What comes out is different.
Dong Lizi stared at the cloud pattern and thought for a long time, a long time...
Wu Sheng saw that there were tears in the old man's eyes!
