Shan Mang... Chen Yu didn't bother to change his name, so he just stuck to his original name.
After turning into a spiritual plant, its appearance has not changed much, except that it is shorter and thicker, has an extra layer of leaves, and is a bit wider.
Overall, it is not as earth-shaking as Yuanling Root and Grass Pill.
He first sat at the table, but now that his mental strength was strong, he no longer had to tear the grass in his hand apart. He could gain insight into everything inside by lingering for a moment or two.
Meticulous.
I have never been in a virtual reality. Compared with the clarity seen from the spiritual perspective and what I saw when I was on location, it was just like clouds and mud. There was a huge difference.
Now, he looked carefully at it inch by inch.
Spiritual energy does exist, in the form of a network, or covered by nodes, and naturally forms veins during overflow and transmission.
The nodes vary in thickness, and the largest ones can be several times the size of the smaller ones, but the number is not large, and the smallest batch of nodes are slowly expanding.
However, it can be seen that the momentum has slowed down, perhaps because it was uprooted and no longer nourished by the spiritual energy of the soil. Chen Yu tried to use his inner energy to wrap some of the spiritual energy that had escaped from the air droplets in his body, and then guided it to the nodes in the grass stems after getting closer.
The two whitening breaths came into contact and collided with each other the next moment. He stopped his movements, and the part he had injected was washed away in just a few breaths.
It is useless to drip the spiritual liquid, the nodes are no longer full and become weak. Judging from the continuous silence of the veins, it seems that Shan Mang's death cannot be reversed.
Even though this mountain awn has not matured yet, has not withered and withered, but it has been catalyzed to the end and suddenly lost its inspiration, it must die.
His eyes swept across the upper heart-shaped leaves and came to the lower round leaves. The spiritual energy was rich, but the veins were not clear.
This is related to the thickness and size of the lower leaves. The veins have a larger space for divergence. When they are stretched out, the number of veins increases. At first glance, each vein is thinner than the already slender upper layer.
After looking at the veins for a while, he penetrated his mental power deeper into the veins, penetrating through the layers of membrane and entering the very root.
Huh?
It was pitch dark here, with all the common plant connections and tissues visible, but Chen Yu found that his mind felt slightly cool after entering.
He raised his eyebrows but did not take it back hastily, but the Niwan Palace was tightly closed, so he had to be careful when it came to the spiritual realm.
Wisps of silvery gray appear before the eyes, swaying like fish swimming in the water and sinking into the roots of the mountain awns.
Warmth and coolness returned again, as if he had suddenly fallen into a mountain spring from the scorching heat. He was mentally sensitive, and such a touch made him shiver.
Then curiosity arose in his heart, and he searched deeper. He wandered around, and the mountain awns were not big. After he turned over the whole grass plant inside and out, he finally focused on the small one.
Not too long yellowish roots.
The meaning of coolness comes from this, but the exact reason is unclear for a while.
He picked off the leaves and separated out the rhizomes and short whiskers. After comparing them one by one, he found that it was indeed the function of the roots. There might be some factors that he could not discover even with his mental strength.
But Chen Yu is not surprised. As for spiritual plants, they are always unqualified if they don’t have some tricks. Besides, there are too many things that cannot be seen now. He has already listed a long list of experimental research arrangements. Unfortunately, he has no skills at all, so he has to choose spirituality first.
Let’s study the more obvious characteristics of aura.
The others will be put aside for now.
On the other side, after finding the source, he looked at the rest of the mountain awn several times, and finally generally confirmed the role of this new spiritual plant, assuming that no new changes would occur after maturity.
So, what does this coolness do?
He held his chin with one hand and tapped unconsciously on the table with the other hand.
There is no doubt that it affects the spirit, but where it is used is the key. He concentrated on feeling it carefully.
After experiencing the strange coolness, the mental power did not increase or change, nor did it become solid, nor did its intensity increase.
All these things combined, at first glance, it seems that it can only provide a certain amount of stimulation, but has no effect on other aspects.
Chen Yu thought for a moment, his eyes wandering in front of him. At a certain moment, his expression moved slightly, and his mental energy was instantly wrapped up.
Enter the virtual interior.
In an instant, a certain change that can only be felt by personal experience emerged in my heart.
He shuttled back and forth repeatedly, channeling his spiritual power into the mountain awn again and again, constantly absorbing the coolness.
It didn't stop until the spiritual plant became increasingly dim, its roots drooped and shriveled, as if it had completely lost its vitality.
In the interior scene, Chen Yu stands still, with a familiar gray and dim world in front of him.
With his eyes condensed, he seemed to have made a decision. He gently moved his fingers and saw that the silver-gray spirit entwined around his fingertips had almost condensed into substance, pulsating and surging.
But few dispersed.
Sure enough, it has more uses than that!
A smile emerged, and his joy at this moment was beyond words. He seemed to have found a way to walk through the interior.
It took a long time, as if it was brewing.
He took a step, slowly, but especially firmly——
call!
The wind is howling? No, it is the surging spiritual power flowing through the body. They are jumping for joy, cheering, and waves around them like a tsunami.
I want to escape, but every time it is about to dissipate, there will be a chill, and most of the time it calms down and returns to the body.
One step, two steps...
The silver-gray ocean that had been calm for more than a month was now only filled with turbid waves. He was like a giant walking in and out of the ancient forest, and his whole body was surrounded by frost and fog transformed by the spirit!
Open up your posture and stride forward!
Finally, Chen Yu stopped. Most of the silver-gray halo on his body was gone, but his pale face was full of satisfaction.
Looking back, I took eleven steps quietly.
You have already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard from the stone table, and then you take a few steps forward and exit the Taoist temple.
He had been in and out of the courtyard several times, and the scenery was actually the same, all blurry. But this was the first time he walked out of the courtyard step by step like this, and he felt an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
Will what you see when you go outside be the same as what you see in the outside world?
In the past, he might have thought that everything was the same, but now he has seen a lot more and encountered a lot of strange and strange things. It would not be a surprise if something strange happened.
In the courtyard, the air rippled, and the figure slowly emerged.
The next moment, his face was shocked, because after exiting, Chen Yu found that he was still sitting at the stone table!
Is it a hallucination? Or is it that you just walked back after a while?
No, since the interior locations are just shadows in his guess, walking in the shadows will naturally not affect reality.
This makes sense.
His head was a little dizzy, so he couldn't think too much and suppressed all kinds of thoughts. In any case, walking in the interior scene was indeed a thing. As for the differences in the real world, he buried them in his heart for the time being.
Phew! Take a long breath.
I was so excited just now that I went too far. After more than ten steps, even if the mountain awning protected my spirit, my spirit was almost exhausted and dried up. If I were to do this, I'm afraid I would have to make the same mistake again today.
He was vomiting, having diarrhea, and was unconscious. He didn't want to taste the feeling again. Fortunately, there was a trace left. At this moment, it was gathered in the Niwan Palace, quietly suspended in the silver vortex, nourishing and growing.
Slowly recovering.
He raised his head and drank a sip of spiritual liquid, and the discomfort dissipated. He tried it in the interior, and the spiritual liquid was also manifested in it, which means that it can be replenished anytime and anywhere in the interior. However, compared to the Lanting Divine Fruit, the spiritual liquid is not as effective as
The recovery of the spirit is somewhat weak, and is more reflected in the nourishment.
It's really unrealistic to drink spiritual liquid while walking. Not to mention the earlier time, when you move your fingers even slightly, you can lose a lot of energy, let alone lift a water bag to drink.
What's more, the spiritual liquid does not melt in the mouth and takes effect immediately.
Absorption requires a process, and even if the internal organs have transformed long ago, they cannot keep up with the speed of overflow.
Looking at the mangosteen on the table, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had this thing, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would be able to walk inside.
That place is weirdly tight, and only the whole body can be covered with mental energy to enter, and the filtering phenomenon is far more serious than in the real world, making it much more difficult to move.
Since he accidentally entered this place after taking Cao Dan in mid-August, it has been a month and dozens of days since he entered the void a lot of times. However, no matter where he entered, it was the same in the mountains or at the bottom of the mountains. He was always trapped in a corner, and it was difficult to
Take half a step forward.
Today there has finally been a change, which is gratifying, really gratifying!
The inner location is closely related to spirituality, and the latter is related to his next stage of external harvesting practice. Only after exploring clearly can he dare to eat with confidence and boldness.
"Then what happens next..."
Naturally, while waiting for the mountain awns to mature, I would go to the mountains to pick some and transplant them back.
In addition, after absorbing the previous lessons, according to his guess, seed cultivation may also produce spiritual plants, with the same effect, not to mention that they will not die easily.
Save seeds, this must be kept in mind.
Sometimes Chen Yu also considers that in the future, he will have to leave a portion of the seeds of all the spiritual plants that have been cultivated. The seeds produced after the spiritual plants are transformed are not the seeds of ordinary plants.
The former is likely to be directly planted as spiritual plants, without the need for spiritual alienation, and can be planted all year round - for spiritual plants, seasonal climate changes may affect the output and quality, but they will definitely not fail to germinate.
After several months of planting and cultivation, we can see that spiritual plants are so unreasonable.
However, whether the Lingzhi seeds can grow after planting requires more verification. The seeds of Qiuzhi have been produced, but they have not been planted in the ground yet, and only one kind of sample is too few. Several more will be needed.
…
Click! Breaking open the disproportionate wooden plate, Chen Yu held three other wooden talismans of different shapes in his hand.
In other words, [Spirit Gathering Array. Modified]
These were cut out from the Spirit Gathering Array and modified many times. Their functions are quite different from the original Spirit Gathering Array, but their essence is still to gather spiritual nodes.
It's just that the effect is much better.
For example, these few pieces in your hand are not complete at first. After being spliced together to form a real magic circle, you can gather more than six times the original spiritual nodes at one time.
These nodes are not just from the pattern of the Talisman Disk. During Chen Yu's in-depth exploration in recent days, he discovered that the spirituality between heaven and earth is indeed invisible, but sometimes not being able to see it does not mean that it cannot be used.
He set his sights on spiritual nodes. Isn't this a stable structure? It is the best foundation to naturally attract wandering spirituality.
There is also a certain kind of adaptation between spirituality and spirituality just like the formation pattern.
Based on this, continuous expansion and deletion have indeed triggered the gathering of spirituality in nature, but it is still unclear how it appears. It seems that it has become a node with other spiritualities in an instant and is floating in the Talisman Disk Formation.
I tried to interrupt this process with internal breathing techniques, but failed after several attempts.
Although he couldn't use it, Chen Yu's continuous experiments were not in vain. His mental power far exceeded that of ordinary people. Although he couldn't see it, his perception of spirituality became clearer day by day.
He is confident that even without the help of grass elixirs, he will be able to truly understand spiritual existence and prey on it after a while!
The charm disk only speeds up the process slightly.
As for how long this period of time will take...it can be as fast as two or three months, or as slowly as five or six years.
It was impossible to say for sure. He judged and speculated that it would take five years based on the speed of his powerful mental power. This was without the use of grass pills. However, if one day he accidentally entered the dream space where a seed was brought out not long ago.
At most three or five times, the spirit will be strengthened several times, and no matter how much the other party hides it, he can lift the veil and see enough.
Array patterns and spiritual matters are explored in an orderly manner, but the magic aspect is much more difficult.
In fact, it cannot be said that it is difficult. After the mental power is greatly increased to assist the control of Qi, some big scenes can be created.
However, the results achieved by this huge effort were far from what he expected.
He has to find the fulcrum between Qi and all things in nature.
Only in this way can it be leveraged. Then the magical powers in myths and legends such as flying in the clouds and mists, calling for wind and rain, spreading beans to form soldiers, moving mountains and unloading ridges, etc. will no longer be fantasies and have the possibility of recurrence.
It's a pity that the essence has not been discovered, but Chen Yu has a very calm mind and forgets about those things that he can't figure out. Let's start with the most basic ones.
The Art of Controlling Objects, this art has been perfected and changed with the changes of spirit and inner energy since its creation.
As mentioned before, the art of controlling objects is more like an empirical skill when it comes to magic, but after many revisions, it finally became somewhat magical.
But in front of me, there was no white mist surging, no silvery gray floating around, only an invisible wave coming out, pulling a wooden chair not far away and lifting it in the air to float to my feet.
The movements are gentle and the consumption is greatly reduced.
Under spiritual insight, one can see strands of spider silk-like inner energy wrapped around it, but the number has been reduced, making it much more delicate, without the roughness that can be seen at a glance.
The exercise makes the wind and clouds calm.
This is more or less like the magic in his mind.
After trying it a few times, he took back his inner energy, stood up, and went to the backyard.
As long as he can allocate part of his energy to formation spells and the like, Chen Yu focused the other half on the two things in the medicine field.
One is grass elixir, and the other is naturally mountain awn.
In just a few days, the latter has completely matured. As expected, the change is not obvious. The function at the roots is about 20% stronger. The coolness is far less intense than before, and the irritation is lessened.
The biggest change is that the upper and lower leaves have two more similar effects.
Strengthen the spirit and slow down the filtering.
"It seems a bit wasteful to draw directly."
He could absorb it inch by inch with his mental power, but that would be too slow and difficult. Although the roots were short, there were many leaves. Even with his mental strength, it would take quite a while to fully absorb it.
How about making pills?
Chen Yu is very experienced in how to absorb the power of medicine more effectively. Just take it. The level of activity of mental power in the body is much higher than that in the outside world.
However, he had no idea of just chewing grass, so he thought of making elixirs.
There is no mixing of medicines, no medicine introduction, just put the main medicine in a pot and boil it, blanch it, bake it and knead it, and it’s generally good.
As for bitterness - can there be variations in peach blossom bitterness? Chen Yu doesn't have many requirements for taste.
Speaking of which, he had read the "Feng Pu San Dan" he had obtained a dozen times before and had already memorized the content. After thinking about it, he suddenly had some thoughts and wanted to refine two copies of San Dan based on the above method.
come out.
A long time ago, he refined a loose elixir called Sifang Chiming Dan in the elixir book. He remembered that it was dry and bumpy, so it could only be considered a low-grade elixir.
This time, the words are almost the same. Chen Yu has self-awareness. When making alchemy, one depends on luck and the other on experience. The rest comes down to the function of the alchemy cauldron and the quality of the medicinal materials. He only took the last place among the four, so the appearance of the pill will naturally not be any better.
The facts were as he expected. There is no need to elaborate on the elixir refining process. In short, the elixir was better than last time.
The kind of low-grade elixir that can catch your eye.
Halfway through, a pot was wasted, and the heat was not controlled well, so I stir-fried... something went wrong when I started to cook the potion. Normally, for someone with such strong mental power, it would be fine for him to multitask.
Unfortunately, alchemy is not just a technical job.
Chen Yu quietly cleaned up the black residue in the cauldron and continued to open the furnace.
Because I didn't know the function of mountain awns at the beginning, I didn't plant many, but a few mature ones. According to the method of refining the elixir, one pot turned into powder, the other pot turned into soot, and only the remaining two pots produced elixir successfully.
.
There are 1314 pills, seven in total.
The black appearance is not shocking, but it smells faintly of grass and wood. This is naturally not from the mountain awn itself, but because he added ingredients to it.
It's not something strange, it's an herb that relieves bitterness.
Not a spiritual plant.
But the effect seemed to be pretty good. Chen Yu took a pill that was still warm and swallowed it in his mouth.
This is the only good thing about loose elixirs. You can eat them right out of the oven. But the lead and mercury elixirs also require [agarwood]. I even heard that some alchemy sects would open an altar to do this and meditate for nine days after taking the elixir.
It's called praying for blessings. Use copper powder and silver juice to draw three to six happy clouds on the pill.
Toxicity +1
Looking away, he took the San Dan, which he named Gushen Dan, and felt a coolness gradually rising in his abdomen.
His spirit was unconsciously light, but fortunately it was just the overpowering of the medicine, and his spirit quickly calmed down. Then the hole in the mud ball was opened, and a silver-gray halo overflowed, roaring out from the center of his eyebrows like a river bursting its banks.
When I opened my eyes again, the world had changed.
He had the God-Reinforcing Pill in his arms and a water bag filled with spiritual liquid tied around his waist - he could replenish it more or less, and with the God-Reinforcing Pill there, he had plenty of time to absorb it.
Just stop and go.
It's not like in the past, not to mention taking half a step, just raising your arms or raising your head can make your spirit dry up.
Everything was ready. Today he was going to really walk out of the Taoist temple courtyard at his feet and go outside step by step.
One step, two steps, several steps passed, and the courtyard gate was close at hand. Chen Yu did not hesitate and crossed over in one step.
The next moment he walked out of the courtyard, he was stunned on the spot:
Big peach blossoms are in full bloom on the treetops, six peach trees hang down their branches, and peach fruits are clustered among the flowers, white and plump.
Astonishingly, they were the same trees that I had nourished with my spiritual power.
However, this is not the key. The reason why Chen Yu stood still was because the scenery in front of him was completely different from what he had seen when he entered the void under the peach tree.
At that time, there were only green leaves attached, and there was no trace of pink on the trees. But the scene before him told him that the six peach trees in the interior were not only blooming, but also extremely bright.
"This is really..."
The surprise on Chen Yu's face dissipated, and a strong curiosity gradually emerged. According to his speculation, the inner scene is just a projection of the real world, and nothing can affect the outside world.
Just a shadow.
Just like he had taken eleven steps in the courtyard before, but was still in the same place when he finally left.
But at this moment, the scene in front of him that was completely different from the real world made him doubt. Is this place really just a shadow?
Then why do you see different things when you enter the void in different places?
Or, this is the interior scene projected by [Taoist Temple] or [Chen Yu].
And what I saw under the peach tree...
I won’t break this chapter down, I’m too lazy to think of a title.
