Regarding Luo Yu's return, everyone in Qingyang Temple welcomed Luo Yu's return. Although An Ziqing was the only one who came specially to greet her, within a day or two after she came back, almost all her classmates who knew her came to visit.
, and most of them brought some small gifts.
These gifts are so small that they are all packed in jade boxes. Each jade box is no more than the size of a palm, and there is often only one in it.
There is no way around it. Pills that can reliably increase one's cultivation level are too rare. It is said that there are so many of them now that they have basically emptied the regular inventory of the pill room.
"Everyone's ideas are surprisingly in harmony!" Luo Yu lined up dozens of jade boxes containing elixirs and sat in front of the table, looking at these jade boxes with emotion.
The setting sun shines in through the window, and the red light reflects the translucent jade box like those red jade and blood jade with sky-high prices in jewelry stores in the world - that kind of thing is actually a very precious material for refining tools, and in alchemy
It is also very valuable, but if it is not processed with magic, it is just a plaything at best. The richest people in the world most often do this kind of wasteful thing.
This kind of jade box is engraved with an exquisite magic circle. As long as the magic power is replenished regularly, the normal operation of the magic circle can almost completely separate the inside and outside of the jade box, ensuring to the greatest extent that the medicinal properties of these elixirs will not be lost. The jade produced by Qingyang Temple
The box is naturally the best of its kind and can theoretically preserve elixirs for thousands of years.
...Of course, in fact, no elixirs need to be stored for thousands of years. Because they will often be used before then.
These precious elixirs are actually really easy to use, and there are so many places where they can be used - in fact, for those responsible for managing them, the main task is not to consider "which elixirs have a shelf life"
It's almost there..." Such a luxurious question, but to delay the consumption of these precious elixirs as much as possible.
However, even so, they are still being consumed at a faster than expected rate. Especially when some unexpected events occur, the consumption rate will be faster.
What is happening now is the kind that will seriously speed up the consumption of elixirs in stock.
Luo Yu sighed for a while, then opened a box. Along with the faint fragrance, a golden pill appeared in front of her.
The Golden Jade Seven Treasures Small Return Pill originally came from Buddhism. After being adjusted and improved by a casual cultivator named Han, the cost was reduced and the scope of application was weakened. Originally, this elixir could help monks while promoting the improvement of cultivation.
Tempering the body, making the monk's body stronger
To strengthen it, you can have a better foundation when refining Gang Qi in the future. But the casual cultivator surnamed Han canceled this function and changed it to simply increase the cultivation level. In this way, the difficulty of refining is greatly increased.
has been reduced, and restrictions on users have been basically eliminated.
The original version of the Golden Jade Qibao Xiaohuan Dan must be taken in conjunction with Buddhist mental methods in order to fully absorb its medicinal properties. The adjusted version can absorb the medicinal properties well as long as you adjust your breath and meditate normally after taking it.
Therefore, since this improved prescription was promoted, it has quickly replaced the original version. At present, except for some Buddhist sects that have special needs in body refining, almost all sects are refining the improved version. The original version
Instead, it has gradually disappeared.
It's interesting to say that the recipe for this elixir was originally promoted by Master Jiang An. When Jiang An was traveling around the world, he once opened a bookstore in a place really called "Qingniu Town". One time he happened to meet
The casual cultivator surnamed Han. The casual cultivator exchanged a secret book of ghost ways for the original formula of the Golden Jade Seven Treasures Small Return Pill. About a year later, he exchanged this improved formula for something.
Shogan was very impressed by this fate, so he made the formula public. Of course, at the request of the casual cultivator, he only disclosed the surname of the casual cultivator, but kept his name secret.
In fact, even if the name is leaked, it is probably impossible to find it. Because the master has a dark face and an ordinary appearance. Except for a flash of inspiration in his eyes from time to time, he is so ordinary that you can't tell him when he walks into the crowd. His only sign is
I like to wear Tsing Yi, but it is very easy to change clothes...
There are many casual cultivators in the world, and naturally many of them have the surname Han. Moreover, this surname is probably fabricated, so after a period of time, no one is looking for this alchemy master surnamed Han anymore.
This Senior Han left no story behind in the world. The only thing known to people is probably the formula of this elixir. However, this achievement is enough to make him famous throughout the ages and become a master respected by future generations.
Luo Yu's learned knowledge forced him to remember, and anecdotes about this elixir flowed through his mind in an instant. However, these thoughts just slipped through his mind like running water, leaving no trace.
Maintaining a peaceful and tranquil mind, she took a magic pill.
It does not melt in the mouth like ordinary elixirs. It remains the same after swallowing, but it is suspended in the stomach, constantly emitting a gentle but long-lasting warmth. This warmth has a strong penetrating power, and it is filled with blood in a short time.
All over the body.
Luo Yu smiled slightly and started to operate the Taishang Nine Turns Alchemy Sutra, and the true energy in the body flowed according to the trajectory that had been run countless times. With the flow of true energy, the warmth was continuously absorbed into the meridians.
middle.
At first, there was a clear distinction between it and the true qi. However, as long as the true qi circulates two or three times, it will be quickly assimilated by the true qi. It won’t take long for the warmth in the meridians to disappear without a trace, and the elixir will
The inherent effectiveness is completely transformed into one's own cultivation.
This practice took three days. By the time Luo Yu finished her retreat, her cultivation had improved a lot, which was at least worth the results of the first half year of practice.
This kind of effect is probably considered to be mid-to-highest among various elixirs for improving cultivation. However, it is superior in that it is mild in nature and has almost no side effects. There is no need to accumulate erysipelas in the body like other similar elixirs. Because
Because of this advantage, it is regarded as the number one elixir for improving cultivation!
Unfortunately, the effect of this elixir will be very poor when it reaches the realm of refining. More importantly, it is not helpful in seeing one's nature and enlightening the world. Therefore... An Ziqing once imagined that if he could develop a method that could help
The magical elixir that can help you to understand your nature will definitely be very popular!
Unfortunately, when he became successful in practicing martial arts and came into contact with advanced alchemy knowledge, he discovered that such a thing had been invented a long time ago - it was a highly poisonous elixir, but it would not kill people immediately.
After the monks swallow it, they will deeply feel the fear of death, which lasts for a long time.
Using this method to break through the bottleneck of seeing one's nature is quite fast. However, the low success rate is quite outrageous... Just seeing that this "Episode of Seeing One's Nature" has never been spread in the world of immortality, it's
You know how unreliable this thing is!
"What will happen if it fails?" Yi Ti, who was also present at the time, asked curiously.
"Of course he's dead." Uncle San Yunzi said expressionlessly, "And even if he succeeds in breaking through, he may not be poisoned to death."
"Some people would eat this thing?!" An Ziqing was startled, "You are simply kidding with your life!"
"So this thing has been eliminated." Uncle San Yunzi sneered, "Seeing one's nature, understanding one's mind, and overcoming tribulations. These three hurdles are the biggest obstacles on the road to immortality. How can they be solved with a magic pill! Why not waste your time? Studying this kind of subject that is beyond human difficulty is worse than improving your cultivation level honestly. Maybe after you ascend to the sky, you can design a solution when you look at the problem from a higher level."
An Ziqing was scolded, his neck shrank, and he went back to practice honestly.
Over the years, An Ziqing has also carefully studied the formula of the Golden Jade Qibao Xiaohuan Dan to see if there is room for improvement. The one he gave to Luo Yu was his improved formula, which was said to be more effective.
One pill can be used for two pills.
But his bragging was soon exposed by Tao Tu. Because alchemy and weapon refining were not divided into different families, Tao Tu was also quite familiar with pharmacology. After Luo Yu took the elixir, which was indeed twice as effective, he came out of seclusion.
When I met Tao Tu, Tao Tu just smelled it with his nose and sighed: "Sister, the medicine you took this time is very high-end. It contains several materials that are only used in the realm of refining, and it is also relatively precious.
."
Obviously, the formula developed by An Ziqing is purely a waste of things.
Because they had to prepare for the star-catching operation in the near future, the four major disciples of Qingyang Temple stayed in the mountain gate to practice during this period. Not only that, the other disciples of the 27th generation happened to be in the mountain gate as well.
This situation has not happened for a long time since the four major disciples headed by Wu Jie - Rudao Youcheng traveled around the world.
"In the blink of an eye, the children have all grown up." In the Patriarch Hall, Master Shaoguang looked at the illuminated bamboo buildings in the Jingshe area, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I still remember that not long after we started, we concentrated on cultivating.
What was the scene like at that time!”
"There were nearly two hundred disciples before and after the twenty-fifth generation, but in the end only one tenth remained." Master Zhenshi sighed, "Now there are only twenty-one left. Seeing that there is another war, no matter what
We know how much will be left after this battle..."
"When a thousand coffins come out of the door, their family will prosper. Everyone understands this truth, so why should you be sad, senior brother!" Master Shaoguang advised, "What's more, what we practice for a lifetime is to transcend the mundane world. To transcend the mundane world, we must uphold
Do it with your own heart. Most of the brothers and sisters who have fallen one after another over the years have left with their true heart and no regrets!"
"Yeah... maybe I will fall down soon. But as you said, in order to stick to my true heart, there is nothing to regret even if I die." Zhenshi Zhenshi hesitated for a moment and sighed.
In his tone, he said words that shocked Master Shaoguang.
"Senior...Senior brother! Why do you say such things!" Master Shaoguang's face was not only shocked, but even a little panicked.
With Master Zhenshi's cultivation, of course his exclamations would not be just words, but must be something he felt in his heart before he said such words.
In other words, the contemporary head of Qingyang Temple sighed like this because he really felt that he might die in the next battle.
This makes Master Shaoguang not surprised, worried, or scared!
Zhenshi Zhenshi is the leader of Qingyang Temple. If even he falls, what a tragic battle it will be! Qingyang Temple, where even the leader died as a martyr, will suffer what terrible things.
What a loss!
At this moment, even though Master Shao Guang had profound cultivation, he couldn't help but feel like retreating.
An upright monk would sacrifice his own life in order to defend the right way in the world. If necessary, Xu Shaoguang would not mind sacrificing his life to defend the way. But as a disciple of Qingyang Temple, he has a deep attachment and love for the sect.
Sincere love, if he had to make a choice between Qingyang Guan and the righteous path of the world - such a choice would be too cruel, it would be like stabbing a knife in his heart, and it wasn't just one knife, but two, three...
…
"Don't worry." Master Zhenshi naturally understood his worries, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "If the entire Qingyang Temple is in danger, wouldn't you also feel it? But ask yourself, do you feel it?
The smell of approaching death?”
Of course Master Shaoguang didn't feel it. If he had a premonition, how could he be so shocked?
"So, you take things too seriously. This is the so-called 'concern leads to chaos'." Master Zhenshi smiled, "I may die, but it does not mean that the entire Qingyang Temple will be in danger. The battle for the stars is inevitable.
It is very dangerous, and anyone can fall. As the head of Qingyang Temple, my position may be relatively safe, but this safety is only relative - maybe when the Demon Sect launches a surprise attack, I will be in a relatively safe position.
On the front line against their attacks."
"Suppose that happens, my only choice is to sacrifice myself to buy time for everyone - maybe, that's why I feel the crisis of death."
"Senior brother, do you also know that the Demon Sect will attack us?" Master Shaoguang was stunned, "Weren't you not present when Wu Jie made the report?"
"Since I feel death, of course I will think more about it than others. And as long as I think about it more, this kind of thing is easy to guess." Master Zhenshi said with a smile, "I didn't hear Wu Jie's report - this
Where did the child get the news?”
"According to what he said, he was a friend he met in the underworld."
Master Zhenshi frowned slightly, closed his eyes, mana surged around his body, and began to make calculations.
After a moment, he opened his eyes in confusion: "Strange! Why can't I get any news related to that person? I can obviously feel the existence of that person, but everything about him seems to be covered by something.
It’s like it’s shrouded…”
"Yes, I have also tried to calculate it, and the result is the same as yours." Master Shaoguang hesitated for a moment, but still said another thing, "I also calculated it for Wu Jie, and the result was the same."
Master Zhenshi's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to calculate. This time, he calculated for half an hour, until he was a little tired due to excessive consumption of real energy, and had to stop.
"Except that they are definitely two different people, everything else is exactly the same! Why is this happening? I have never heard of anyone in the world who can directly block the method of calculation without resorting to any means!"
The two helmsmen of Qingyang Temple looked at me and I looked at you, both lost in thought.
After a long time, Master Zhenshi sighed and said: "Wu Jie's consistent behavior has proven his character. Even if he has any shady secrets, it is his own business. Unless he is willing to tell it, otherwise
We shouldn't ask."
"That's right. Whether he is a banished immortal from heaven or an alien demon reincarnated into a human being, it is all a matter of his past life. The cause and effect of his previous life will naturally be borne by those related to his previous life. For outsiders like us,
, Wu Jie is Wu Jie, it depends on how he is, just look at this life!"
Even though they had already guessed some of Wu Jie's origins, Master Shaoguang and Master Zhenshi had completely identical opinions.
Reincarnation and re-cultivation is not a particularly rare thing in the world of immortality. Banishing immortals to the earth and being reborn by demons have also happened in legends. However, for people who are reincarnated and re-cultivated, no matter how clearly they remember everything in their previous life, they can only remember it.
It is equivalent to sitting in a tavern and watching. All kinds of joys and sorrows, all kinds of love and hate are already other people's business.
So no matter what Wu Jie's origins are, since he has done good things in this life, he is a righteous person. If he doesn't tell anything else, the two real people will not ask.
"Actually, if we look into his origins, it is not completely traceable." Master Shaoguang suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that when he was in the human world, he named his place of cultivation Zhifeizhai and called himself the master of Zhifeizhai...
Zhifei, Zhifei... From this word, you can probably tell what kind of person he was in his previous life."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
"Yes, there is a common saying in the world that 'a prodigal son returns with no money in return'. But there are so many prodigals in the world, how many of them can turn back? No matter what mistakes Wu Jie made in his previous life, since he has turned back, it is a good thing
." Master Shaoguang nodded and responded, "As for what happened in his previous life... when he was reincarnated, he must have suffered enough in hell. Now that he has been released from prison, what else do we have to worry about?"
But as he spoke, he changed the topic, and there was a cloud on his face: "But that friend of his... is really a bit worrying!"
If someone can have the same divination results as Wu Jie, that person's origins are naturally similar to Wu Jie's. The two of them met in the Nether World and became good friends quietly.
Let's tell each other - Master Zhenshi and Master Shaoguang absolutely don't believe that these two people have nothing to do with each other in their previous lives!
"The only person who can know the secrets of the Demon Sect is a member of the Demon Sect, and his status is probably not low." Master Zhenshi frowned and said, "Wu Jie has already found his way back, but that person may not be the same!"
"How about... I go talk to him about this matter?"
Master Zhenshi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and rejected Master Shaoguang's suggestion.
"Although Wu Jie's cultivation is not very high, his character and character are very good. Since he is the reincarnation of a big shot, his vision is naturally very reliable. He naturally has his reasons for trusting that person. Let's go
If you want to persuade me... have you ever guessed a possibility?" He suddenly laughed.
, his smile was a little ambiguous, "A demon giant, maybe even a heavenly immortal or an extraterrestrial demon, inexplicably died together with a person of similar status, and then reincarnated into the human world together, and got to know each other again in just a few decades.
We recognized and became friends again..."
"Senior brother, just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush!"
"This is 'love'!" Zhenshi's expression at this moment is no different from those storytellers in the world who gossip about gossip.
