Chapter 168: There Are Nine Cows and Horses in the World
Chapter 168 There are nine in heaven and earth, and the life of cows and horses is miserable
After leaving Lu Yuantian with a thought on his mind and considering the resources he had in his hands, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt something in his heart.
"The stone embryo of the righteous god absorbs the earth's energy and grows spiritual energy, while the stone embryo of the evil god absorbs the evil energy, yin energy, and death energy of the netherworld and grows."
"The two are just opposite, almost two extremes."
"So if you want to maximize the growth rate of the evil god's stone fetus, you should throw it to a place where there is the most resentment, death, and evil energy."
"In today's world, where is the most resentment, death, and evil?"
"First, the Netherworld and Death Land created by heaven and earth, such as the Netherworld Land under the Qingshui River."
"But the dead place under the Qingshui River is too small to support the evil god's stone fetus."
"Second, the artificially created netherworld, such as the City God's Underworld."
"If the evil god's stone fetus is thrown into the Sheji Temple in Yujing City, then the evil god's stone fetus will definitely grow best."
"It's a pity that the Shenxiao Sect and the Tianshi Dao didn't deal well with each other, so they threw the evil god's stone fetus into the Sheji Temple. Basically, it never came back."
"So this place won't work either."
"Since the second place doesn't work, then throwing the evil god's stone body to the north won't work either."
"If the evil stone fetus wants to grow, it must absorb the evil energy, and it must be absorbed continuously, otherwise it will have no effect."
"In this way, although this thing also has the ability to hide itself, those evil cultivators and evil spirits in the six realms in the north are not vegetarians."
"As time goes by, traces will definitely be discovered."
"The sect doesn't have much power in the north. If the evil god's stone fetus is discovered, it will probably be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return."
"So if you think about it carefully, if you want the Evil God Stone Fetus to grow smoothly, maybe you can only go there."
While thinking, Jiang Xuan took out a jade slip.
Jade slips recording the inheritance of "The Art of Tongyou".
What is the meaning of Tongyou?
It is said to meet the gods, it is said to be deeply immersed in the gods, it can penetrate into the underworld and hell, and it can also see through the illusion, which is the first skill of earth evil.
In short, you can see through the illusion and your soul can enter the netherworld.
"The sky has nine heavens, the earth has nine springs, and under the nine springs are the nine plains."
"Among the nine plains, there is a plain of spring, which is located under the quiet spring."
"It is said that there are many poisonous ghosts in the mountains and forests in Chunziyuan, and there is no shortage of sinister and evil spirits."
"It's a pity that there is very little information about Jiuquan and Jiuyuan. I have read so many books, and only a few mentioned it once or twice. I don't know whether this legend is true or false."
"But whether it's true or not, you'll know if you go down and take a look."
"You just need to take protective measures before going down."
"After all, your life must come first."
Taking out the jade slips he had never learned before and spreading them out in front of him, Jiang Xuan immediately took out the magical powers he could use one by one.
"First learn the "Sun Obscuration Technique" to hide the secrets of the sky, and then learn the "Soul Chasing" and "Soul Capturing" techniques to improve your ability to deal with ghosts."
"Then learn the two techniques of "Sitting on Fire" and "Entering Water" to improve your life-saving ability, and finally learn "The Art of Connecting the Netherworld" to enter the soul into the underworld."
"In addition, the "Mengtou Technique" must also be upgraded to the Tao realm, and the "Star Number" must be used to calculate bad luck before going down."
""Sword Art" is not only the essence of sword techniques, but also the sword of the soul."
"Since I have learned so much, I might as well improve my swordsmanship to the Tao realm."
"Then in the end, all that's left is the magical power of "Swallowing Knives"?"
"Learn it, just in case you need it."
"With seven uninitiated earth evil magical powers, and two more magical powers that have not yet reached the Tao realm, how much ingenuity does it take to successfully enter the Tao?"
"Well, it seems that it will take a while for the cow and horse to draw talismans."
Sighing, Jiang Xuan walked into the study.
Just when he was about to start drawing the thunder talisman, his hand movement suddenly stopped.
"I have understood 20% of the Tao of "Thunder", and I can already write Taoist texts with the word "Thunder"."
"Although even the Taoist prose written with the word "Thunder" will be incomplete due to incomplete understanding, even if it is incomplete, it can still be regarded as a heavenly vessel."
“Why don’t you just draw the Tianlu?”
"of course yes!"
Just do it if you think of it.
Since he could write, Jiang Xuan didn't do ink, so he first took out a stack of talisman paper that exuded thunder and felt a little tingly.
The talisman paper is called thunder paper, which is made from metallic orichalcum and thunder stone. A piece of paper is worth 100,000 treasures, and is an excellent material for drawing talismans with thunder attributes.
If you look at its spiritual light, it means that just a piece of talisman paper contains a ray of spiritual inspiration.
After taking out the talisman paper, Jiang Xuan took out a bottle of golden cinnabar ink that glowed with lightning.
This ink is Yang Lei ink, which is refined from Lei Chi's blood and pure Yang cinnabar.
Lei Chi is an ox-like beast with thunder attributes, and it is said to have the blood of Kui Niu.
This thing is also specially used to draw lightning attribute talismans.
After laying out the talisman paper, he used a fox-hair brush to dip a trace of Yang Lei ink, and then he picked up the pen and touched it on the thunder paper.
The next moment, the pen moved as it pleased, and with a slight movement of the wrist, a golden trace appeared on the thunder paper.
What is thunder?
Spring is born, winter is silent, autumn and summer are anxious.
Thunder is the blend of yin and yang, the blend of positive and negative, and it also represents reward and punishment, and is responsible for most of the wrath of heaven and earth.
A little bit of understanding of thunder passed through Jiang Xuan's heart, and then he recorded it all with the pen in his hand.
After Xumi, his mind was exhausted, and Jiang Xuan also stopped what he was doing.
However, although the movement of his hand stopped, he did not put down the pen in his hand. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to reminisce about the scene where he just wrote "Lei Lu".
After a while, Jiang Xuan opened his eyes again and couldn't help but reveal a smile:
"Reviewing the past will help you learn the new. The ancients will never deceive me."
However, feeling that more than one-third of his mental power was missing, he couldn't help but shake his head:
"It's a pity that this story is not so gentle."
After writing the first "Thunder" text and making the first "Thunder Ruin", Jiang Xuan's understanding of "Thunder" deepened, and at the same time he also had an inexplicable intuition.
That is, as long as he writes the "Thunder" text ten thousand times and draws the "Thunder Trap" ten thousand times, with the blessing of Kuzhu, he can increase the way of "Thunder" from 20% to 21%.
He didn't know if once the proficiency level increased, writing ten thousand times would still increase the proficiency level by 1%, but that was the case now.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough mental strength now, so I can only write "Lei Lu" twice in a row."
"But this "Lei Rui" is really valuable."
Rubbing the talisman in his hand, Jiang Xuan then had a thought in his mind.
The next moment, the "Thunder Urn" with thunder surging endlessly on it turned into blue smoke and dissipated in Jiang Xuan's hands, as if it had never appeared in the world.
Opening the panel and looking at the 201 additional inspiration points on the panel, Jiang Xuan couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"There are a total of 201 points of cleverness, of which "Lei Rui" provides 200 points, and the remaining one is provided by the materials."
"If converted into data, that is, for every 1% proficiency of the 'Tao' mastered, the inspiration for drawing a Tianlu will increase by 10 points?"
"For the time being, this is the case for "Lei Ru", but I don't know if the same is true for other Tian Ru."
While his thoughts were spinning, Jiang Xuan flicked the fox-hair pen in his hand and threw the Yang Lei ink on the tip of the pen into the cold pool.
Then he put away the thunder paper and Yang Lei ink on the table, and took out the ordinary spiritual paper and spiritual ink again.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping wood.
So he wanted to try using other Taoist texts to draw Tianlu to see if he could get different results.
Now, there are three Taoist texts that Jiang Xuan can write down, namely "Stars", "Thunder" and "Array".
"Next, let's try "Stars" first."
After settling on his thoughts, Jiang Xuan immediately started writing on the talisman paper.
But only halfway through writing, he stopped what he was doing.
The next moment, the talisman paper on the table, together with the half-written Taoist text of "Stars", all turned into blue smoke and disappeared.
"The quality of the talisman paper and spiritual ink is too low."
"The spiritual ink is not enough to write the incomplete Taoist text of "Stars" in one stroke, and the talisman paper cannot bear the power of the Taoist text."
"So, do we still have to look for good spiritual materials?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan immediately turned his thoughts to the gold and silver tree:
"Since the gold and silver tree can swallow the energy of gold and silver and grow gold and silver leaves, can we cultivate it in a targeted way so that it can swallow the energy of stars and grow leaves of stars?"
"If the leaves of stars can grow, then with a little processing, wouldn't these leaves become the best talisman paper for drawing the "Stars" celestial organ?"
"Besides, Star Ink is also easy."
"Just let the Four Symbol Formation absorb the power of the stars in the sky, then compress and liquefy the power of the stars, and finally refine it into ink."
While thinking about the use of the gold and silver tree, Jiang Xuan took out Cangming paper and Hanhai ink.
As you can tell from the name, this paper ink is a type of talisman paper and cinnabar ink used to draw water-attribute talismans.
Jiang Xuan naturally did not understand the way of "Water" to 20%. He took out the Cangming paper and Hanhai ink just to draw the Tianlu with the word "Array".
Unlike "Thunder", "Array" has no attributes, or in other words, its attributes are determined by the formation.
"Since it has no attributes, it can be said to have any attributes."
"In that case, it makes sense for me to draw a "Array" with water attributes, right?"
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Xuan dipped his pen into Hanhai ink, and then put one stroke on the Cangming paper.
Then, a realization arose in his heart.
"Tianlu and Tianlu are different."
"The "Thunder Talisman" is a pure offensive talisman. You only need to write your feelings about thunder on the talisman paper, and then activate the offensive power in it."
"The "Array" is a functional talisman."
"Although it is possible to write Taoist texts with the word "Array" on it alone, the power of this kind of Tianlu is very small."
"This kind of Tianlu can only be given to others, so that others can understand the way of "Array" that I have understood."
"If you want the "Array" to have unpredictable power, you have to set up the formation while drawing the Array."
"You have to use the formation method to draw the talismans."
The tip of the pen taps lightly while thinking.
When the last stroke was finished, Jiang Xuan looked at the "Cloud and Mist Array" on the table that seemed to exude misty clouds, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
""The Cloud and Mist Formation" is too simple and cannot explain all my understanding of "The Formation"."
"But the "Blue Dragon Formation", "Xuanwu Formation", and "Yuanchen Formation" are too complicated."
"Although I have understood these formations to the level of Taoism, I still have to understand them. If I were asked to draw them into "Array" in one stroke, I simply cannot do it."
"According to my current increase in strength, I will at least have the magic realm to draw them in one stroke."
Jiang Xuan shook the talisman in his hand and looked at the clouds that were almost overflowing. Jiang Xuan had a thought in his mind.
The next moment, the talisman in his hand disappeared, and the number of inspirations on Jiang Xuan's panel also increased by 16 points.
The reason is that his understanding of "Array" cannot be written down in one sentence.
"So for me now, it is most cost-effective to draw the Tianlu of "Thunder"."
"I don't know when I will be able to understand "Thunder" 100% and draw a true Taoism."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Xuan drew another "Thunder Ruin".
It's just that this thunder jar has almost no offensive ability. What it has is Jiang Xuan's understanding of the way of "Thunder".
"Look at the aura, it's also worth 201 points of aura."
"Sure enough, "Thunder" is destined for me."
"Not to mention being struck to death by lightning in my previous life. The Shenxiao sect is also an expert at playing with thunder. Nowadays, it is easiest to make "Thunder Ruins"."
"So, let's continue to draw the Lei Guan safely and be a talisman-making beast with no emotions."
After settling on the idea, Jiang Xuan embarked on the path of no return: making talismans → restoring mental power → eating → making talismans → restoring mental power → making talismans → eating.
After seven days and seven nights, Jiang Xuan, who looked a little haggard, put down the talisman pen in his hand with a trace of confusion, looked at the scenery outside the window and let out a strong breath.
"Sure enough, life is not easy for cows and horses."
After the mental power is depleted, it only takes less than an hour to use the Star Gazing Technique at full power to fully restore the consumed mental power.
It doesn't take much time to draw "Lei Rui".
In other words, Jiang Xuan could draw almost 25 "Thunder Ruins" in twelve consecutive hours.
One "Lei Ru" is worth 201 inspiration points, and 25 copies is 5025 inspiration points.
In other words, after 7 days, he got a total of 35,175 inspiration points.
He has never been so wealthy since cheating.
"There are only 125 pieces of thunder paper left. I will go all out and draw them for another 5 days and then they will be gone. I have to find a way to sell some back."
"But don't worry, I don't want to live this kind of life of drawing urns all day long."
"I'm here to enjoy the monastic life, not to be a cow or a horse."
"Drawing three talismans a day, drawing 5 talismans a day, and adding a thousand points of inspiration is enough."
"After all, drawing talismans by yourself to earn inspiration is the small end, and the big end is there."
While thinking, Jiang Xuan walked out of the bamboo house with the little fox in his arms and looked at the Qianmo terraced fields behind the mountain.
The Lianshan family is indeed very skilled in farming.
All in all, after their long-term research, the combination of soil and various planting techniques has produced an effect of one plus one greater than three.
To put it simply, it only takes one year for Linggu to be harvested.
Although the yield of the spiritual grains grown in Cangwu Mountain and the amount of spiritual energy contained in the spiritual grains are not as good as those grown in Gu Village.
But there is a lot of spiritual grain grown in Cangwu Mountain.
In Gu Village, all the spiritual grains grown in one acre of fertile land are used to fertilize the fields, yielding a total of 20 spiritual points.
Due to the presence of fertile soil, the yields and opportunities of the valleys planted in the Cangwu Mountains are not only 30% of those in Gucun as Lian Gugu said, but 50%.
In other words, if all the fertilizer in an acre of land is used to fertilize the field, you will gain 5 points of inspiration.
All the 200,000 acres of spiritual valley will be fertilized, and a total of one million inspiration points will be obtained.
What concept?
The concept is to directly upgrade the plug-in!
In addition, one million spiritual power points are distributed equally every day, which means Jiang Xuan can get 2739 spiritual power points every day.
There are only 200,000 acres of land to cultivate Linggu.
What if there are two million, 20 million, or even 200 million acres of land to grow spiritual grain?
Then will the inspiration he can get increase tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold?
So I immersed myself in making talismans and gathering inspiration. This is a small way.
To bring peace to the world, the only way to achieve peace is to let the people of the world prepare their own ideas for farming.
He can't do it for the time being, but he can still do it by pacifying Sixi County and letting the people of Sixi County farm for him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan used the power of the formation to calculate with his fingers.
"Well, those scientists boarded the ship from Jersey County yesterday and took the ship to Sixi County."
"According to the ship's speed, we can reach Longmiang Town Pier in about three days."
"When the time comes, we will send Shui Yao to pick them up and take them directly to that place."
"In this world, foreign countries are so-called small foreign countries. Although I can politely pick them up as a corporal, there is no need."
"It is still necessary to elevate your position appropriately."
"After all, we can't raise them to be adults."
While thinking, he sent a message to Shui Yao, and then Jiang Xuan took out the jade slip that recorded the "Sun Covering Technique", and then began to burn out his inspiration.
Like an animal, I made the seven-day talisman, wasn't it just for this moment?
As a ray of inspiration was deducted from the panel, Jiang Xuan's understanding also increased to an incredible level.
"The Art of Obscuring the Sun is the art of concealing the secrets of the heavens."
"When humans are in this world, they inevitably interact with heaven and earth."
"Mortals walking, sitting and lying down, carrying water and firewood, monks breathing spiritual energy, refining elixirs and making talismans are all interactions with the heaven and earth."
"As long as there is interaction, it will leave traces in the world, which is the so-called secret."
"In order to get the information you want from the underworld, you have magical powers such as "Ziwei", "Lianshan", "Hexagram", "Star Number", "Knowing the Time" and so on.
."
"When there is a plan, there is a cover-up. The "Occultation of the Sun" is a magical power used to cover up the secrets of heaven."
"And the essence of the "Sun Covering Technique" is to visualize oneself as the great sun, to use one's spiritual consciousness and true energy as the true fire of the sun that burns nothing and burns out all the energy left in the world."
"The deeper your understanding of supernatural powers, the more thoroughly your Qi will be burned."
"Even after practicing to a certain level, when someone uses magical powers to plot against me, I can still visualize the true fire of the sun to fight back."
"In addition, it can also completely burn out all the energy you have left in the world. As long as others don't see you in person, they won't be able to tell you anything about you, and you will be treated as if you don't exist as a person."
"But this doesn't seem to work. You should selectively leave some qi, so that when others calculate yourself, they can only calculate the information you want them to calculate."
"It's just that if you want to achieve this level, it seems that you need to practice "The Art of Covering the Sun" into the Taoist realm."
"In this case, then practice hard and strive to achieve perfection as soon as possible."
