As a person who has a special liking for immortals, as a person who hopes to be free and carefree, and as a person who is afraid of death, now that he has the opportunity to cultivate immortality and seek immortality, Shi Xuan will definitely pursue it without hesitation.
To practice Taoism, wealth, partners, Dharma, and land are essential.
In order to save money, I inherited Lao Tao's inheritance, and still had a thousand taels of silver, but the accumulation of resources for cultivation was very small. In the words of Xu Lao Tao, there was a shortage of things for cultivating immortals in the land of Middle-earth.
Friend, judging from Xu Laodao's teachings, the highest level of cultivation in the two capitals and thirteen states is only to reach the soul out of the body. Then in the future, when the level of cultivation is high and there are bottlenecks that require stones from other mountains, it may be difficult to find people with the same level to discuss.
, discussion, not to mention when you encounter difficult problems, encounter sentences that you don’t understand in Taoism, and need to consult someone with a higher level.
Dharma, I already have the fundamental Dharma that directly points to the Tao. There is no need to ask for this from outside. But judging from the contents of the first volume of Baolu just now, it is more inclined to Tao. In terms of Dharma, there are only about ten kinds of Dharma that are naturally derived from the own Tao.
Taoism.
The content of the refining can only be excerpted by Qingyunzi himself at the end of the first volume. Moreover, from memory, only a few of the materials of these magical weapons are known, and the rest are myths and storybooks.
, there are materials that only appear in storytelling, and there are some that I have never even heard of. The most important thing is that there is no basic content about weapon refining. Shi Xuan almost burst into tears. When he saw the map of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers before,
The life and death disk, the Five Fire Burning Heaven Banner, and the like were very exciting, but the result was really deceptive!
The same is true for the content of alchemy. It seems that these are not the contents of the treasure record, but the last few elixir recipes and diagrams of the equipment that Qingyunzi himself attached. In addition, he is a person from a long, long, long, long, long time ago, so it is
This will happen.
Land, from what Xu Laodao meant, there are many famous mountains and rivers with a good environment.
Shi Xuan sighed. It seems that he will definitely embark on the same road as Xu Laodao to travel around the world in search of immortals. Then excluding the places that Xu Laodao has visited, it seems that there are only three places in China that need to be visited.
Tongxuan Mountain, Mang Mountain and the Imperial Capital. The last place was added by Shi Xuan himself, because if the world of cultivators really exists and they need to communicate with the mortal world, apart from the famous mountains and rivers, I am afraid that only the capital of one dynasty can satisfy them.
There are conditions, whether the conditions are to meet the collection of items, spiritual herbs and other resources, or to recruit talented disciples. These are based on various novels I have read before, plus some empirical reasoning. If you are wrong, you will run away in vain.
Take a trip.
After traveling through Middle-earth, if there is no fairy fate, I will prepare to set sail to the sea and go to the fairy island in the East China Sea that is often mentioned in myths and legends. The following order is south of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Western Wasteland.
Shi Xuan took a sip of cold water. The long-term goals and steps for the future have been roughly planned. In the short term, it is necessary to heal the injuries first, and then it is best to restore the body to its previous level. After gaining the power to protect itself, the next step can be taken. Follow
After ten years as a veteran, I still have the skills of medical science, pharmacology, healing and medicine, and my body can be restored to its original state within half a month.
However, the main problem is that the body and soul are at different levels. The body is Du Bai's body, which has passed the state of physical training and has reached the level of self-generated inner energy and soul strengthening. The soul is Shi Xuan's. It was fine when he was in school in his previous life, but he became lax after going to work.
In terms of exercise, the soul realm is also in the early stage during the body training and soul nourishing period. This is also the reason why Shi Xuan did not start visualization practice immediately. During visualization, the inner energy will be guided to strengthen the soul. At the current level of the soul, it is very likely that there will be weakness.
In the case of supplementation, it is prudent to exercise every day and wait until the soul reaches the soul strength of the initial soul-strengthening stage under the slow nourishment of the body before starting to visualize.
In the past, it took Du Bai seven years to train his body from scratch to enter the stage of nourishing qi and strengthening the soul. But now the body has reached the stage of nourishing qi, and the nourishment for the soul is not what it used to be. Shi Xuan estimates that when the soul enters the stage of strengthening the soul, it should be stronger than before.
A few times. How long it will take to achieve the desired effect will take a while and will be judged by the nourishing effect.
Moreover, the medicinal bath prescriptions and medicinal soups that Du Bai used when exercising were all from the true biography obtained by Xu Laodao. Now Shi Xuan has a better choice. He has provided three prescriptions in Baolu.
There are two types: medicinal bath and taking.
However, just like the prescriptions and diagrams, many of the medicinal materials are unheard of or are from legends. Especially the first prescription, the Dragon King Blood Refining Pill, is 70% to 80% unheard of and from myths and legends. Chapter 1
The second prescription, Renxian Bodybuilding Decoction, is 40 to 50%.
The good news is that the third prescription, Qianyuan Changmui Decoction, the best doctors outside may say that more than 20% of it is unheard of or from myths and legends, but these are included in Xu Laodao's prescription. At the same time,
Its ancient name and current name after time evolution are marked!
Of course, everything is not perfect, and there is still a kind of medicinal material "Shishang Ginseng" that is not labeled, but Shi Xuan remembers seeing it in ancient books, and he can basically confirm that it is Shibao, Red Ginseng, and Taihen Lianzhong.
One kind, which one it is, I can only wait until I go out and buy some of each, find a few experimental animals, and try it out to find out.
In fact, even if the names of the drugs are correct, Shi Xuan plans to conduct animal experiments first, because after the name of the drug has evolved for so long, it is very possible that another drug will evolve into the current name. For example, it was originally
A and B, through evolution, A's name became D, and B's name became A.
Of course, if this happens, it is very likely that the medicinal properties of A and B are different. Shi Xuan is now proficient in pharmacology and should be able to tell the difference. But what if A and B have the same medicinal properties, but are different in subtle ways?
At that time, it is also possible that the drug B pretends to be A in Xu Laodao's prescription. It has the same properties as other drugs and is effective, but the drug Shi Xuan plans to use is poisonous due to subtle differences. This probability is very low.
It's very low, but you can't handle it just in case. When it comes to issues related to your own life, it's better to be more cautious. If something really goes wrong, who can you cry to?
Shi Xuan decided on his future path and the few things he would do in the near future. He was immediately determined. Then he felt very hungry. He changed into a Taoist robe and took more than a hundred taels of silver in his pocket. He planned to go out to fill his stomach first, and then
Going to buy medicine and other important things, as for the few relics left by Xu Laodao, it is better to wait until the night is quiet to see them.
After leaving the courtyard, I was almost blinded by the sun. It was already past noon, so no wonder I was very hungry. I locked the courtyard door, greeted the neighbors on my left and right, and walked towards the alley.
The neighbors on the left and right were very surprised. Aunt Zhang on the left said to Aunt Li on the right: "Hey, this guy is usually very shy. When he saw us passing by with our heads down, the sun came out in the west today, so she took the initiative to say hello."
"I think it was after his grandfather passed away that he tasted all kinds of things. I think this guy is pretty good. Your daughter is a perfect match for him. His family is also rich. He can definitely get a few hundred taels of silver.
Come out." Aunt Li has a fanatical hobby for matchmaking work.
Aunt Zhang sighed: "My damn girl has been studying with her second uncle for a few days. She is very arrogant. She always wants to find a Jinshi master without looking at herself. The Jinshi master is from the stars in the sky and comes to earth. She deserves it.
Come on!"
But Shi Xuan walked out of the alley and went to the bustling and noisy street. Instead of choosing the large ornately decorated restaurant, he went to a small noodle shop on the street based on his memory.
"Uncle Liu, come to Sanliang Yangchun Noodles and cut into half a catty of braised pig intestines." The braised taste of this restaurant is unique in this city. You must know that this city is the capital of Xia'an Prefecture, which is the boundary of Yangzhou except Yangzhou Prefecture.
It is a first-class prosperous place, not just a small town. It is controlled by a canal along the Yangtze River and is a famous transportation hub in thirteen states in the world.
"Hey, Mr. Du, you usually come very early. It's almost noon today." Shopkeeper Liu cut the pig intestines and walked over with a big belly. He was still very concerned about this neighbor who had grown up with him.
.
"Hey, don't mention it. I was thinking about what to do in the future last night and couldn't sleep. I felt very stressed." Shi Xuan recalled Du Bai's tone in front of Shopkeeper Liu, but he still unconsciously adopted his current tone.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Liu cared about the content of the topic and did not pay too much attention to his tone: "I see that you have a good body. Why don't you go to the Yamen and be a Yamen servant? The salary is not much, but the other aspects add up to a lot. Your family
Even though I have some financial resources, I still can’t sit back and rest on my laurels. I still have some connections in this regard.”
Shi Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Liu, I have a relative in Anjing City. I plan to leave in half a year to join him. I will have more opportunities at the feet of the emperor." This can be regarded as laying the groundwork for leaving in the future.
The neighbors basically only knew that Shi Xuan was exercising, but they didn't know about practicing Taoism. There were probably very few people in the world who had actually seen Taoism.
As for the issue of Taoist robes, several emperors in a row believed in Taoism, so as a result of the world's customs, many wealthy businessmen, and even Confucian scholars and high-ranking officials also like to wear Taoist robes at home. In other words, Taoist robes are modern brand-name casual clothes. So Shi
Xuan was dressed in Taoist robes but without a Taoist plate, so it was nothing. At most, he was thought to be the son of a wealthy businessman or a Confucian scholar.
"Although there are many opportunities under the emperor's feet, there are also many dangers. I know that you are young and ambitious, so you have to do your best." After speaking, shopkeeper Liu patted Shi Xuan on the shoulder and went to greet the new customers. And this
At that time, Yangchun noodles were also served.
Shi Xuan was already very hungry, but with ten years of experience in practicing Taoism, he knew not to eat in a hurry at this time, so he started to eat slowly. One bite of Yangchun noodles, one bite of braised noodles, light and refreshing, full of braised aroma, smooth but not greasy,
It's really delicious.
I drank up the noodle soup with the last mouthful. It was so comfortable. After I was full of Shi Xuan Tang, a foodie in my previous life, I finally felt so good to be alive. Then I got up and gave the meal money to Shopkeeper Liu, said hello and went out to the south of the city.
, there are several big medicinal materials stores there.
