Chapter 137 Gu Insect Spore Species Dragon Vein Shadow Puppet
In the quiet room of the Medicine Hall, many processed medicinal materials were placed in different categories, and Yu Li walked among them, looking at them carefully.
He held the piece of paper given by the old beggar in his hand, thinking about something.
Finally, Yu Lie took four kinds of medicinal materials from many and placed them in the place where he usually takes notes and organizes records.
The four medicinal materials are a worm in a glass bottle, an unknown seed sealed in wax, a dried lizard stem, and a completely peeled animal skin.
Yu Lie sat cross-legged in front of the table, his eyes hesitating between these four things.
What he was hesitating about was exactly what genre, or in other words, which path he should choose regarding his own destiny.
According to the records in the alchemy notes given by the old beggar, the natal blood vessels are not only suitable for people in the alchemy world, but are suitable for all practitioners today.
Because this thing is the key to why today's immortals are able to eat all kinds of food, eat monsters, and absorb their talents into spells!
Take the most noble Talisman practitioners in the world of mountains and seas as an example. Their natal artifacts are often a talisman, a jade slip, or a book. The more bizarre ones are walking sticks, clay tablets, turtle shells, etc.
Object as form.
But no matter what, the function of these natal magic tools is actually to facilitate Taoists to record the runes and spells they have obtained, and to be the carrier for recording information.
Those who have truly entered the Tao of Talisman need to visualize this natal blood vessel in their own souls. There are different ways to visualize and condense it, and there are many inheritances.
But its general function is pretty good, that is, it can assist Taoists in the Talisman Way to extract the souls of monsters, incorporate them into the body, avoid backlash, and then remove the dregs, manifest talents, etc., and facilitate Taoists to comprehend new spells.
If such natal artifacts cannot be condensed through visualization, then if a person in the Talisman Way wants to obtain spells, they can only copy them based on the previous Kung Fu books, imitating them one by one, which is difficult and obscure, and has little ability to innovate.
And if there is no assistance from the natal artifact and the demon must be absorbed into the soul, it is very likely that the temperament will change drastically, the soul will be exhausted, and even the body will explode and die.
It is rumored that in the history of Shanhai Realm, the first natal talisman in the true sense has another name: "Feng Shen Bang".
This object was made by the emperors who overturned the heavens in modern times and personally visualized and refined it. Its power has reached the point where it can imprison immortals and gods and plunder their magical powers for their own use. This has opened the door to the "supernatural power is not enough for the Tao".
The Immortal Era has caused the Immortal Path in the world of mountains and seas to embark on a path that is completely different from that of ancient times.
It is precisely because of this that Fu Dao has become the most noble path in the world of mountains and seas.
Because it not only has a great origin, in addition to the closely related formations, it also derives the way of magic. It requires extremely high talents in practitioners. Just condensing the life talisman by visualizing it in the mind is enough.
Lower the threshold for 90% of Taoists.
It wasn't until alchemy and weapon refining, two cultivation skills that could be compared with the talisman array, that they also changed their appearance. After they matured, they became the alchemy path and the weapon path, which in turn nourished the talisman path, lowering the threshold for condensing the life talismans.
In the era that Yu Lie is currently living in, in addition to relying purely on their own visualization and condensing the talisman of their destiny in their souls, people in the Tao of Talisman can also refine a specific artifact outside, then warm it carefully and turn it into a talisman.
As a talisman of destiny.
Such natal talismans refined outside the soul can also allow Taoists to formally embark on the talisman path.
However, the power and effectiveness of the natal talisman outside the body are far less mysterious than the natal talisman inside the body.
The overall potential of such people who rely on external objects to enter the Tao is far less than that of true geniuses, and they are despised as turbid currents in the Tao of Talisman.
Of course, even the turbid currents in the Tao of Talisman are people who have embarked on the path of immortality by taking health supplements and possessing the potential of immortality and ascension.
Compared with this type, there are actually many Taoists who are more parallel in the world of mountains and seas. They rely on the moisture of today's immortal way, do not cultivate or cannot cultivate the things of their destiny, and want to obtain magic weapons, elixirs, and spells.
If you buy elixirs and talismans refined by real people in the Immortal Way, the magic power may be acceptable, but it will not be of much help to the development of the Immortal Way.
Perhaps its greatest function is to consume items refined by real immortals, promote the consumption and circulation of immortal items, and serve as a test device for medicine.
The above things are a lot of precious and key knowledge in the old beggar's notes.
Before getting this notebook, Yu Lie had no idea about the twists and turns.
He also thought that as long as he became an eighth-level Taoist disciple and cultivated his true energy, he could kill monsters and take their essence to assist him in practicing spells.
Yu Lie even recalled what he had seen and heard in the family, and found that he had never seen this knowledge point in the clan, but the clan seemed to pay special attention to the cultivation of the Taoist stage.
The large and small families in Qian County strictly forbid the Taoist boys in the clan from spending too much energy on learning fists and weapons during the ninth-level period. Instead, they remind the clansmen to choose a cultivation skill as early as possible, and it is best to use the third level of Talisman Artifacts.
One, study carefully.
This is also a major reason why Yu Lie has not practiced any boxing or kicking equipment yet and has always wanted to make progress in alchemy.
Now that he understood the contents of the alchemy notes, he suddenly became cheerful.
For small eighth-grade families such as the Yu family, they may not be considered true immortals and do not have much potential to become sixth-grade Taoist priests, but with the experience and mentions of their predecessors, they are also very capable.
Clearly, if you want to have a broad path, you must have a solid foundation and master a cultivation technique.
Although Taoists judge people based on their magical power, the root of their magical power comes from their understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.
The magic power in the Taoist stage is nothing at all. What is really important is to cultivate the body and master the introduction of skills.
This is also a major reason why Yu Liehui came to Blackwater Town.
Because Blackwater Town is a "cultivation technical school", only by coming here can he have the greatest possibility of acquiring a cultivation skill.
In a quiet room.
Yu Lie looked at the four things in front of him and continued to struggle and think about how to choose his future direction of immortality.
Although he has already half-stepped into the door of alchemy, only by choosing the form of his natal blood weapon and refining it can he step in with another foot and truly step in.
This is somewhat similar to the situation when he chose an elixir as a starting point among the three elixirs of vegetation, metal, stone, and flesh and blood, but the impact on the future will be more far-reaching.
Because the natal blood vessel of Alchemy Dao is quite different from the natal talisman of Fu Dao. The latter has only one form. The difference between the natal talisman of people in the clear stream and the turbid stream is only in terms of quality, function and scope.
They're all pretty good.
However, whatever form of alchemy is chosen will also have a great impact on the scope of future research. Although it is not set in stone and there is still a lot of room for change and improvement, this impact is often calculated in hundreds of years.
.
One hundred years, for the remaining people now, is already more than two lifetimes.
In front of the table, his eyes continued to wander between the four things, and then fell on the first one, the nematodes in the glass bottle.
Yu Lie thought to himself: "Why don't you choose the first one as a natal blood vessel? It just so happens that this is what the old gentleman uses. If you choose it, you can ask for more advice in the future."
The nematodes in the glass bottle are not ordinary insects, but a raw material for refining Gu worms, called blood-trophic amoeba.
What this object represents is the Gu Dao in the Alchemy Dao, which can also be said to be the Insect Dao.
The natal blood vessels refined by Taoists from this substance have several clearer names: natal worms, companion worms, parasites, etc.
Yu Liebaide's teacher carefully cultivated and refined the natal Gu worm based on the amoeba nourished by blood.
If he also chooses this object as his destiny, when he slaughters monsters and plunders spells in the future, he can parasitize the split natal Gu into the monster's body and steal talents and spells from the living monster.
The more spells you master, the more types of Gu insects will accompany Yu Lie's body, or the more Gu insects that can be transformed into different uses.
For example, the sleepy bugs and fire bugs that Yu Lie got from the old beggar are essentially a spell given by the other party. Holding this Gu bug means holding a spell.
It's just that compared to how people in Fu Dao can use their true energy to manifest spells, people in Gu Dao rely on raising various kinds of Gu insects and rely on them to cast spells.
If there is no corresponding Gu insect on the body, or it is temporarily exhausted, the types of spells that can be cast will be greatly reduced.
It has to be said that this method of casting spells is a bit different from what Yu Lie had imagined. It uses insects as spells and feeds them into the body, which is quite strange.
After thinking for a while, Yu Lie looked at the second item on the table.
The second item represents the replacement of the natal thing with the seeds of a plant. In the Alchemy Notes, this object is called the "spore seed" natal.
After refining this thing, it can produce various seeds, grow all kinds of strange plants, cast spells with plants, and grow piranha, bloodthirsty grass, murderous trees, etc.
Yu Lie only glanced at the "Spore Seed" and then looked at the third item - the lizard earth dragon stem. This object represents the way of dragon veins in the alchemy path.
In the world of mountains and seas, everything with slippery scales and even flesh and blood has dragon veins in its body.
Dragons, snake bodies, antlers, fish tails, and cow ears are the embodiment of all things. This method is to cultivate dragon blood. You can first implant a kind of dragon vein flesh and blood with more obvious dragon blood. On this basis, develop dragon veins.
.
The specific method of practicing spells is to pick the limbs and organs of monsters and graft them. Whenever the dragon blood in the body becomes richer and the appearance of the real dragon becomes more complete, the spells mastered will also be more.
This path is very popular in the world of mountains and seas, because although it involves the path of alchemy, Taoists can not only pick their own limbs and organs, transplant and graft them to themselves, but they can also help others, or ask others to complete it.
It's just that those who purely rely on other people to practice dragon veins cannot be regarded as true dragon veins people. They don't know the truth and can't find the right path.
These three types are Gu insects, spore species, and dragon veins.
These are roughly the three major natal blood vessels mentioned in the alchemy notes. Except for the second type which is closely related to the grass and tree alchemy method, the other two types can actually be chosen.
If he chooses Gu worms, he can ask the old beggar for advice. If he chooses Dragon Vein, the pill method he is best at currently is the flesh and blood pill method. The success rate of refining and implanting it by himself will undoubtedly be the highest.
But by chance, Yu Lie, in addition to pondering the above three types, selected the fourth one from the unorthodox natal things that were not mentioned much in his notes.
The fourth type is an animal skin that Yu Lie spread out on the table.
This type of natal blood vessel has names such as skin painting, skin peeling, and leather making. Yu Lie personally thinks that the most suitable name among them is "shadow puppet".
It's just that this "shadow puppet" is different from the shadow puppets used by ordinary children to play tricks.
It is the method of alchemy to refine the objects of destiny. After it was introduced into the talisman, the people in the talisman studied the paper way and used it to make paper people, paper horses and other objects as a means of casting spells. The paper way was introduced into the alchemy again.
In the middle of the road.
People in the Alchemy Way refer to the instructions on the paper, simply peel the monster's skin and mold it, and refine it into its flesh and blood soul, making it the object of destiny.
The natal object of the Tao of Shadow Puppetry, and its general shape is closer to that of Fu Tao. It is a book, a book with the Taoist's own skin as a cover.
Every time you peel off a monster's skin, you can add one more page and one more spell to the natal skin book. However, the skin paper is easy to damage and has a life limit. It must be replaced when it decays. It is not as good as the Talisman Book of Talismans.
So simple and noble.
After Yu Lie's eyes passed over the first three kinds of Gu insects, spores and dragon veins, they landed on the fourth kind of shadow puppet, and couldn't move away for a long time.
Although the natal magic obtained by taking the black snake fish is likely to come from the spleen in the body, the effect of this magic is to give Yu Lie an extra layer of skin.
The first step in refining a book of shadow puppets, or a book of skinned skin, is to peel off the skin on your body. The more complete the better, because the leather book refined by this method has the highest success rate, and
From now on, it is possible to control the "skin paper" contained in books to the maximum extent possible.
It is precisely this first step that is the biggest difficulty for people in the Alchemy Way to practice the Skin Way.
Because people can be shameless, but just like trees, they cannot be shameless.
After losing all the skin on the body, even the physique after cutting off the hair and cleaning the marrow, or even the physique of an eighth-grade Taoist disciple, cannot bear it.
According to what was mentioned in the notes, a special spiritual liquid must be prepared in advance. After peeling off the skin, the Taoist is placed in the coffin and soaked. Only then can the person continue to survive for many days without the skin film until the leather book is refined.
become.
But this spiritual liquid is not what Yu Lie can refine now. He just worshiped the old beggar as his teacher. The other party also asked him to refine the spiritual liquid by himself and would not assist him in refining the spiritual liquid at all.
Fortunately, Yu Lie now has a native magic that can manifest a black film on his body. If he peels off his human skin and uses the black film to maintain himself, he will most likely continue to survive.
Sitting cross-legged in front of the table, Yu Lie knocked on the table and calculated carefully.
His eyes twinkled.
Although Pi Dao's techniques are undoubtedly more brutal and weird than the first three, its novelty is rare in the current world of mountains and seas, and it is somewhat related to Fu Dao, so it seems to have a bright future.
