Eliminating the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xing Tian knew that his only purpose in worshiping Gua Mountain was to use the resources here to improve his cultivation, so some hardships were not a bad thing, at least that would create enough pressure to force himself to change.
powerful.
Simply unable to sleep, Xingtian took the manuscript of the Vajra Palm Technique, lit a candle and started reading.
There are still some areas in this Vajra Palm Technique that he has not yet thoroughly studied, so Xing Tian plans to study and understand them carefully, just like reading a book. Every time he reads it, he will gain new insights. When Xing Tian turns to the pages with pictures,
But suddenly an idea came to mind.
Why don't you draw all these moves again? Wouldn't it be more impressive? Besides, Xing Tian was a little itchy after not drawing or writing for a long time. Thinking of this, Xing Tian found a pen and paper, ground it with drops of water, and followed it.
The martial arts illustrations were sketched.
From the day he left Wajin Village with his master, Xing Tian didn't write for a long time. When he first started writing, he was still a little unfamiliar. But soon, Xing Tian regained his old feeling. He was absorbed in writing, splashing ink on the paper, and soon he was writing.
Copy all the pictures on the twenty-seven pages.
Xingtian's painting skills are obviously much better than those of the person who wrote this manuscript. In some subtleties, Xingtian has rounded them out based on his own understanding. As a result, his understanding of the moves is deeper than ordinary people.
of many.
But this time, Xing Tian discovered a problem.
Although these twenty-seven pages of move dismantling diagrams are vivid, they have backgrounds, such as strange rocks, mountains and streams, or the shade of pavilions and trees. And this book is not particularly weird. What is really weird is that Xing Tian starts from here.
In the background, I actually found a 'Sun-sacrifice' plant. It was in a very inconspicuous place in the background. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.
Sunflower grass is a kind of medicinal material. Dozens of it are planted in the medicinal garden. It is considered valuable and cherished. It takes one year to grow. Its roots are as full as a fist and have many roots, which can be used as medicine. Xingtian is also a medicine practitioner.
After staying in the garden for so many days, I was able to recognize him.
Xing Tian felt very strange.
It is normal for martial arts pictures to have moves depicting them, but most of the moves are just a human figure without a background, and even if there is a background, a martial artist who has studied martial arts will not notice it. After all,
The warrior's attention is only on the human form practicing martial arts, which is also the key point. As for the background and so on, they are all embellishments. If there are any, it can only be said that the person who sketched this martial arts is somewhat leisurely and elegant.
, just to make the accompanying pictures more vivid.
This manuscript is obviously old, the pages are yellowed and damaged, and it has obviously been turned over by more than one person. In other words, Xingtian is not the only one who has seen it, and someone must have noticed this background.
It's just that Xing Tian is good at painting and understands the artistic conception in the painting better. Only a person like Xing Tian who is good at painting can see that the person who drew the background of this book page put a lot of thought into outlining the background. Even if it is a handwritten copy, Xing Tian
It can also be felt that if this is true for the manuscript, it must be even more so for the original secret book.
Then, the question arises. Isn’t it a bit weird that a martial arts secret book doesn’t put as much effort into the martial arts moves and handouts as the flowers and plants in the background?
In particular, the sun-curing grass on the grass in the background was even more vividly outlined. Xing Tian thought about it, but he read all the illustrations on the twenty-seven pages, and he made a surprising discovery.
The illustrations on these twenty-seven pages all have backgrounds, and the illustrations on thirteen of them contain pictures that appear to be herbal medicines.
The reason why it is said to be suspicious is because Xingtian knows some herbs, such as Sunflower Grass, but Xingtian has never seen some herbs and does not know their names, but he knows that they must also be herbs.
This discovery made Xingtian very interesting. What do the thirteen herbs "hidden" in the secret book of Vajra Palm mean?
Xing Tian touched his chin and thought about this problem. After a long time, Xing Tian turned around and saw a few pieces of paper on the table beside him. They were handed over by Elder Han to refine the Body Tempering Pill and the Bone Strengthening Pill.
And the prescription of Xiaoqi Xuedan.
"prescription?"
Xing Tian slapped his thigh fiercely and said secretly: "I understand!"
Could this be a prescription?
Thinking of this, Xing Tian felt his heart beat violently. If his guess was correct, assuming that this was a prescription, then who could hide the ingredients in the prescription in such a weird way?
In martial arts.
There is information about the origin of these martial arts in the Cangwu Pavilion. It is said that a monk from the Western Buddha Kingdom came to Guashan decades ago and exchanged this secret book of Vajra Palm Technique for a martial arts of the Guashan sect.
Then could it be that the monk hid these thirteen herbs in the martial arts secret book, but what was the other party’s purpose?
For a moment, Xing Tian's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't sleep anymore.
He knows that even if he knows the prescription, he still needs to know the proportions of each medicinal material. And even if he knows the proportions, he must have corresponding techniques to refine the elixir, including the temperature, the order of adding medicines, etc. So even if he got it together
There is no detailed explanation of the real prescriptions for these thirteen medicinal materials, and they absolutely cannot be refined. Unless you are a master of alchemy, you may be able to know which kind of elixir it is based on experience.
It's just that these problems are nothing to Xingtian. Xingtian has a purple gourd. As long as the purple gourd has specific medicinal materials, it will automatically absorb the raw materials for refining.
Thinking of this, Xing Tian had the idea of refining such an elixir.
Once people have a goal, especially one that is quite heart-wrenching, they will be very energetic. At this moment, Xing Tian continued to observe and study the illustrations, constantly re-outlining them, and separated the backgrounds one by one.
Disassemble it, including every leaf and tile on the pavilion.
Finally, Xing Tian found a series of hidden numbers. What these numbers represented was the ratio of thirteen medicinal materials. These numbers were extremely hidden, such as the number of tiles, the edges and corners of strange rocks, etc.
Interpret the dosage of the corresponding medicinal materials.
Throughout the night, Xing Tian was studying these thirteen medicinal materials. Before dawn, he secretly left the room and fetched the medicinal materials in the medicine garden according to the mysterious prescription.
Speaking of Yaoyuanzi, in fact, the herbal elixirs here have a specific quantity. If there is less, they will be found out. However, Han Bucheng asked Xingtian to refine the elixirs, and they all used local materials from the medicine garden, plus
Xing Tian was taking care of the medicine garden these days, so even if he took it, no one would know.
Moreover, Xingtian had secretly watered a small amount of purple water in some medicinal fields, and found that the soil in that medicinal field turned pale purple. No matter what herbal elixirs were planted, the growth rate and quantity would increase. So even if he takes some for himself, he will always
The quantity won't be small either.
Although he is young, Xing Tian is already very experienced in doing things.
After a while, he brought over the thirteen kinds of medicinal materials that could be collected immediately. There were nine kinds in total. To say that the Guashan Sect's outer medicine garden was rich in varieties, there were still four kinds of medicinal materials that were not available. Naturally,
, Xingtian didn't know what these medicinal materials were called. He just memorized the patterns of these four medicinal materials carefully in his mind, and then threw all the papers he drew and wrote on all night into the stove. These things could not be known to others.
In the next few days, in addition to practicing the Vajra Palm technique, Xingtian would go to the Cangshuge Pavilion to read various classics when he had nothing to do. Unlike the Cangwu Pavilion, the books in the Cangshuge Pavilion could be read at will, but they were all about humanities, geography and secular affairs.
Of course, there are also books about medicinal materials.
After spending some effort, Xing Tiantian found the pictures of the four medicinal materials from a 'Herbal Classic'. After careful screening, Xing Tian was sure that these four were what he was looking for. They were 'Red Blood Medicine Stone',
'Condensing Ice Lotus', 'Miscellaneous Leaf' and 'Tiger Beast Pill'.
Among them, Tiger Beast Pill is also a kind of medicinal material, but it is not a plant, but comes from the body of wild beasts. This is the first time Xingtian has heard that inner pills can be condensed in wild beasts.
As described in the Medicine Book, the Tiger Beast Pill is just one of the wild beast inner pills that can be used as medicine. In fact, not only tigers, but also many wild beasts will inadvertently swallow some natural materials and magical elixirs when they survive in the wild.
Grass, coupled with the fact that beasts are much stronger than humans, will condense this kind of animal elixir in their bodies. There are only two ways to get the animal elixir, one is to buy it from a prescription that sells animal elixirs, and the other
Even if you hunt wild animals, you will have a certain chance of obtaining the inner elixir.
As a kind of medicinal material, animal elixirs are also divided into grades. The higher the natural grade, the better the refined elixir.
After getting the information about these four medicinal materials, Xing Tian began to consciously inquire. It is said that there are 'Red Blood Medicine Stones' for sale in the outer black market, which are very expensive. The Tiger Beast Pill can also be exchanged within the sect with the sect's contribution.
However, Xing Tian inquired that ordinary disciples were not allowed to redeem wild beast inner elixirs, only deacons and above could do so. Obviously, the sect had strict control over inner elixirs, and Xing Tian knew that it was best for him to hunt wild beasts and collect inner elixirs on his own.
As for the other two medicinal materials, Xing Tian has no source for the time being, but Xing Tian knows that the mountain behind Guashan Mountain is a group of steep mountains called the 'Mountain of No Return'. There are many dangers in it and wild beasts are everywhere. Once you enter, it will be difficult to return, so
That's why it got such a name. It's just that there are spiritual grasses all over the mountain, and there are also activities of wild animals that have condensed the inner elixir, so many herb collectors and elixir hunters are here.
Xing Tian planned to go to the Mountain of No Return in a few days to try his luck and see if he could find the medicinal materials he needed.
A few days later, Xing Tian bought a sufficient amount of 'Red Blood Medicine Stone' with a small amount of elixirs on the black market, and then planned to enter the Mountain of No Return.
In the medicine garden, Elder Han sat on a chair, looking down at Xing Tian who was standing respectfully in front of him, and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing in No Return Mountain? It is inaccessible there, and there are all kinds of wild animals in the deep mountains, but it is extremely dangerous. With you,
With your cultivation level, you may lose your life whether you encounter a wild beast or a bad person with evil intentions!"
Xing Tian had already thought of the reason, but he bowed and said: "Elder Han, this disciple has been addicted to the art of refining medicine in recent days. He just wants to master his own medicine refining memory. However, my grandfather once warned me that a good alchemist must
We must go out and get familiar with various medicinal materials in the wild. Although there are many kinds of Chinese medicinal materials in our medicine garden, it is difficult to cover them all. Therefore, I want to travel around the outside of Mount No Return for a few days and never go deep into Mount No Return. This disciple
With some cultivation, you still have self-awareness!"
