"Okay, please step back." Lu Zhong said irritably.
Looking at the two concubines who came out supporting the wall, their appearance could be called a moon-shy flower, and their graceful figures were absolutely stunning. It was a great enjoyment to practice together with them, but he was in a very bad mood now.
The practice of Jade Vein Gong encountered difficulties.
The Jade Vein Kung Fu has many benefits. Not only can it solve the problem of his slow cultivation, it can also be of great help in martial arts. The meridians can bear a greater load, and more spells can be used in a short period of time.
Using multiple spiritual weapons at the same time, the higher the mana output rate, the stronger the power can be exerted.
There is no such thing as a mysterious and mysterious sword power bonus when building a foundation to practice fighting. In fact, the competition is about who can output more mana than the opponent in a shorter period of time.
The Tao is the power to defeat all laws.
If you can gain an advantage in mana output, you can basically gain the upper hand in a battle of tactics.
After Lv Zhong practiced the first level of Jade Vein Kung Fu and tasted the benefits, he wanted to practice the second level of the technique as well.
So, after repairing the spirit puppet, he made a special trip to the market to buy a medicine boy.
Her name is "Xia He". She is a plump and beautiful woman with a fourth-level spiritual cultivation level. She once participated in a sea-going ship specializing in the East China Sea route. Unfortunately, the ship was later killed by a monster in the sea.
Beast's Mouth himself went bankrupt and owed a large amount of debt. He had no choice but to sell himself to pay off the debt, so he was bought by Lu Zhong for 50,000 spiritual stones.
It is said that he bought it, but it is not a slave. In fact, it is just a hundred years of free work.
When Lu Zhong bought her, he not only thought that Xia He had learned alchemy and could prepare medicine for him as a medicine boy, but also had the idea of developing new business for Lintao Pavilion. Since she was once the owner of a sea-going ship in the East China Sea, she was very interested in sea trade.
You must have some understanding, maybe it can come in handy later.
But currently, Xia He's main responsibility is still dispensing medicines.
It was easy to prepare the medicine in Changchun Fairy City, and she quickly prepared a bucket of pulse-quenching medicine.
But just like what Jade Vein Gong said, the cultivation method must be paired with the corresponding pulse-quenching prescription. For example, if Lu Zhong is practicing the second-level method now, then he needs to use the "Mainion-Tempering Formula Da Zhoutian Chapter", otherwise he will
It would be like him today, working hard for a long time but with little effect.
"It seems that we still need to try to get together the pulse quenching recipe for the Great Zhou Tian Chapter..." Thinking of this, Lu Zhong couldn't help but frown again.
The Great Zhoutian Pian is different from the Little Zhoutian Pian. Most of the elixirs are more than 300 years old. It’s not that there are none on the market. It’s just that the spiritual stones alone are not easy to buy. Basically, they only appear in regularly held events.
At auctions, or in various small circles in Changchun Fairy City, it is not unusually difficult to collect them.
Then he thought about the spirit liquid of creation, and Lu Zhong thought that this might be a breakthrough.
This secret method can solve the problem of insufficient age of elixirs. It is estimated that he can really use elixirs that are hundreds of years old to refine the pulse quenching prescription liquid he wants. At most, it will only consume more spiritual stones.
The question comes back to alchemy.
Regarding how to get involved in Alchemy, Lu Zhong has been in Changchun Fairy City for three years and has learned a lot about the situation in the city. The people he studies are no longer just Jindanzhai, a Buddhist monk. At present, he has re-identified two places to learn Alchemy based on his own characteristics.
place.
They are Yaohuatang and Dongbulu.
You can learn the inheritance of alchemy by handing spirit stones in Judu. There are many more rules than in Jindanzhai, but fortunately they are not binding. Instead, you can take the opportunity to build relationships and integrate into the local alchemist circle.
And this is what Lu Zhong values most.
Jindanzhai has obvious advantages, but it is only suitable for monks who come to Changchun Immortal City to learn alchemy. Since he is planning to stay here, it is inevitable to integrate into the local circle. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and at the same time, he can know a lot of news.
Therefore Jindanzhai was excluded.
"So, how to choose specifically?" Lu Zhong thought.
Yaohua Hall and Dongbulu each have their own strengths. The former has strong teachers and can teach students carefully. The disadvantage is that the hall master himself is not very accomplished in alchemy and cannot teach the third-level alchemy inheritance, while the latter is just the opposite. He usually just herds sheep.
With traditional teaching, how much you can learn is basically up to you, but as long as you have enough skills, you can learn the third-level alchemy inheritance that is hard to buy outside.
There was insufficient information and it was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so he decided to "try out the class" first.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong washed and dressed under the service of the maid.
I have to say that the inner courtyard is really well organized under the management of Li Hejun. He doesn't have to worry about anything. Everything will be prepared in advance when he wakes up, so he can focus all his energy on important things.
After eating wontons stuffed with fish, I drank a bowl of chilled physalis soup carefully prepared overnight by Xia He using eighteen kinds of elixirs, which has a refreshing effect. My whole body suddenly became energetic.
"Well, it's great to cultivate immortality!" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
Immortal life is precious, but immortality is out of reach, so how can we enjoy it now.
The future is promising, and if he can live such a comfortable life, with good food and wine to drink every morning, and beautiful concubines to serve him every night, and not having to sleep in the wilderness every day, hiding in remote caves and fearing, then his previous risk will be worth it.
Risking his life, he fought with others risking his life in the secret realm of Shen Yuan Palace.
Thinking of this, he became more motivated to practice.
Before leaving the house.
Lu Zhong saw that the three girls could not get up for a long time. He thought it was because they had been exhausted last night.
Recently, I heard that there have been a lot of troubles in the North District of the port city. First, a third-order sea monster came out of nowhere and razed the port area to the ground. The ship sank and its masts were broken, causing considerable losses to the fleets of various chambers of commerce. Then there was
Demonic cultivators sneaked in by boat and killed 20% of the mortals living there. It is said that the remaining ones have not been wiped out yet.
So he left the spirit puppet behind.
Lintao Pavilion will be much safer with the Lingpuppet Nursing Home in the middle stage of foundation building.
Going out the door, there is a bustling street.
Immortals and mortals live together in the Immortal City of Changchun. The inner city is mainly populated by monks and Jiajuan people from the Changchun Valley, while the people in the port city are mainly foreign monks and the descendants of foreign monks. Perhaps it is the difference between closeness and distance that makes the city
This will make the order of the inner city significantly different from that of the port city.
At this time, people were coming and going on the street, including monks and ordinary people.
Seeing Lu Zhong in cassock coming out of the mansion, being served by a beautiful maid, and boarding an expensive beast carriage, everyone showed envy and wished they could replace him with their own bodies.
But they just thought about it, not many of them dared to hope to become a true cultivator of foundation building.
Although there are millions of monks in Changchun Immortal City, most of them are low-level casual cultivators. The number of foundation-building true cultivators like the master of Lintao Pavilion is only three thousand in the city. It can be seen that it is not easy to build a foundation anywhere, so true cultivators
All of them are important figures with respected status, and their strength is only lower than those dozen Jindan Daoist people.
It is natural to be so majestic.
There happened to be a law enforcement team patrolling the port area. When they saw the beast vehicle starting to move, they stopped temporarily and waited for the vehicle to pass before resuming patrol.
Driving through the neatly paved obsidian road, we soon came to a seaside pavilion.
"Dongbulu"
The owner of this medical hut is also a Jindan master.
His name is "Dongbu Yu", and outsiders often refer to him as "Dongbu Zhenren". He is currently in the early stages of alchemy cultivation. It is said that he has a profound background in Changchun Valley, and is therefore able to open a medical house in the central district of Hong Kong City to teach foreigners.
By teaching the art of alchemy, he earns as much spiritual stone as a mountain every year.
No wonder everyone in the world practices Taoism well.
Isn’t it nice to have the most profitable path in your hands?
The decoration of Dongbulu is low-key and simple, and you can see that it has been carefully decorated everywhere. Although it is not as magnificent as Jindanzhai, it still has a unique charm if you take a closer look.
When he heard that Lu Zhong was here for a trial class, a follower led him to a lobby.
The layout style inside is similar to the outside, except that there are a lot of elixir illustrations hanging around, which can be seen as being made by famous artists. The entire lobby is in the shape of a fan-shaped staircase going downwards, with futons placed at intervals on each step.
It can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
At the other end of the lobby, there is an alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace is not big, only about ten feet high.
It is the most common style with three legs and six ears. It has a simple shape and is covered with flowers and sketches.
At this moment, there are several alchemy boys of different ages who are working together to take care of the furnace, cleaning the dust or adding firewood. There are also those with higher status standing aside to control the alchemy furnace.
According to the disciples, this is to prepare for teaching later.
When making alchemy, the furnace must be preheated first, otherwise no amount of elixir will be enough to cause harm.
The guest led Lu Zhong to the front row, then smiled and said, "Senior, please sit here for a while. If necessary, you can send the maid in the hall. The master will teach at noon later."
"Thank you!" Lu Zhong returned the favor with his hand.
As soon as I sat down, a maid came over with tea.
He was not polite, took one and tasted it carefully.
The Lingcha in the cup has a vermilion color and an elegant and fragrant aroma. It has the sweet aftertaste of Lingcha but also has a hint of salty taste, which makes Lu Zhong very curious.
"What kind of spiritual tea is this?"
The maid, who was at the first level of Qi Refining, first bowed and saluted, and then answered clearly:
"Returning to my predecessors, this is the 'Zhumei Jade' produced in the East China Sea. It is essentially a type of seaweed. After being carefully prepared by the owner of the hut, it has become an excellent quality spiritual tea. In addition to the advantages of rich spiritual energy, it has long-term
Drinking it also has the effect of purifying erysipelas in the body..."
"Is it really so magical?"
This was the first time Lu Zhong heard that drinking spiritual tea could purify erysipelas.
When the maid heard this, her face was full of apologies, and she said softly: "Senior, please forgive me, but Haiyi did not explain it clearly. In fact, the effect of Zhu Meiyu in purifying erysipelas is far less than what the senior thought. As Haiyi just said, it must be
You have to drink it for a long time to have the slightest effect."
"That's it." Lu Zhongniu drank a glass and asked the maid to add more.
Time passed little by little, and more and more monks came to listen to the lectures. Each of them sat in a different position, which was determined according to each person's cultivation level. The foundation building true cultivation seat was in the front row, which is far from the alchemy furnace.
Recently, there are no other people blocking the way in front, so I can have an unobstructed view while listening to the class.
At midnight, the hall was already full, and latecomers could only stand at the entrance to listen to the lecture.
After a moment, the hall door closed directly.
Many latecomers were blocked out and no matter how much they begged, they would not be let in.
During the process, Lu Zhong kept closing his eyes to rest his mind.
It will soon be noon.
With a burst of powerful spiritual pressure, Master Tobu finally appeared in front of everyone. His beard and hair were white, his face was covered with dark and light spots, and he had a slovenly appearance.
After a brief introduction, the lecture began.
After explaining it in simple terms and getting to the point, Lu Zhong also had a correct understanding of the Tao of Alchemy.
I thought it was similar to traditional Chinese medicine in previous lives.
But in fact, it is medicinal chemistry.
The medicinal spiritual energy contained in elixirs can be regarded as a variety of active ingredients, each with different levels of efficacy. The so-called alchemy is to process the complex medicinal spiritual energy contained in spiritual materials through complex alchemy techniques, and undergo changes such as digestion and transformation.
, the process of maximizing the spiritual energy content of the target medicine.
The final product is called "elixir".
The principle is so simple, but it is not easy to implement.
The content of Dongbu Zhenren's lecture is mainly to sort out the learning and growth path of alchemy for monks who are interested in getting involved in alchemy, and explain the various processes and concepts of alchemy one by one, so as to clarify the learning progress and direction.
From basic concepts such as the medicinal properties and efficacy of spiritual materials, to the identification and analysis of various medicinal spiritual qi, as well as the mastery and use of various alchemy tools, to the demonstration of the basic alchemy process, until finally a pot of Qi-Yi Dan is made.
Yiqi Dan is a medicine that helps to introduce Qi into the body.
This elixir is a non-level elixir, and occasionally monks call it "Yiqi Pill". It is often used to practice when starting alchemy.
After Lu Zhong listened completely, he finally understood the meaning of the word "stunned".
Okay, he had to admit it.
Even if I recall the scene with the help of the scene afterwards, it is estimated that I will not be able to refine the simplest qi-enhancing pill on my own without obtaining the inheritance of alchemy.
There is certainly a reason why Dongbu Zhenren’s lectures were left behind and many key parts were deliberately hidden.
But the biggest problem is that he really knows nothing about alchemy.
Three days later, Lu Zhong went to listen to Yaohua Tangtang's lecture again, and found that the two were similar.
After careful consideration, he finally chose Dongbulu.
The reason is very simple, you can learn more by spending the same spirit stones.
Lu Zhong boasts that he has the Gray Mist Space and is at least at the forefront of his learning progress. He can master the third-level alchemy inheritance in Dongbulu's hands during the twenty-twenty-year course of alchemy lessons.
The tuition fee is one thousand spiritual stones per period, which I have to say is really expensive.
However, this is the easiest way to learn alchemy except for accidentally acquiring the alchemy inheritance.
Without the support of a blessed background, do you still want to learn alchemy?
Then you can only burn the spirit stones.
…
Lu Zhong spent the next nearly two months flipping through books.
After paying the money, you can browse the classics stored in Dongbulu, which contain explanations of various common spiritual materials and detailed analysis of the spiritual energy properties of various medicines. This knowledge must be learned before making alchemy.
Memorizing these contents is equivalent to having a hand that can write before learning to write.
Secondly, the alchemy furnace and supporting spiritual materials must also be purchased in advance.
These tools are equivalent to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and are also necessary for learning to write.
As for the specific alchemy techniques, how to deal with various spiritual materials with different properties, and how to transform and generate the medicinal spiritual energy in the expected direction during the elixir process, it is equivalent to learning how to hold a pen and brushwork when writing.
Lu Zhong needs to memorize all of these before Dongbu Zhenren officially starts his classes at the beginning of next year.
Don’t remember?
Then just wait and listen to the Book of Heaven in class!
