Chapter 12 The sun and the moon in the pot are long
The Sun and Moon Gourd is a rare treasure.
The storage space is much larger than most storage bags, and Hong Ming naturally knows that.
It was just a storage tool, and it might attract the covetousness of high-level monks. Hong Ming had always been very cautious and rarely used it, and even almost forgot about this treasure.
Even though Hong Ming transplanted water cloud grass into the Sun and Moon Gourd last time, he didn't care.
This is just planted casually.
To plant water cloud grass, there needs to be water flow. If there is spiritual water, the growth rate will be greatly accelerated. There is no such thing in the sun and moon gourd. Therefore, whether water cloud grass can survive is another matter. What's more, water cloud grass can survive
It takes at least hundreds of years to mature.
How could Hong Ming afford to wait at this time?
But this time, when Hong Ming saw it by chance, he couldn't help but lost his voice.
Because the water cloud grass in the sun and moon gourd grows very vigorously, more than twenty water cloud grasses grow very luxuriantly, and all the water spirit grasses have grown their third leaves.
Water cloud grass, born with double leaves.
Every fifty years, a leaf grows.
Three leaves, has a medicinal age of fifty years.
Four leaves, one hundred years old.
By analogy, it is said that when it reaches the nine-leaf stage, it can continue to grow to be 500 years old.
But... these water cloud grasses were collected by Hong Ming when he went to hunt monsters in the sea more than a month ago. At that time, Hong Ming remembered clearly that all water cloud grasses have two leaves and the medicinal age cannot exceed five years.
ten years.
"Could it be that the spiritual soil of the Sun and Moon Gourd has the effect of accelerating ripening?"
Hong Ming thought in his heart.
But this idea was abandoned instantly.
No matter how high-level the spiritual soil is, coupled with the spirit gathering array and watering with spiritual water, it is impossible to cultivate the water spirit grass to the effect of more than fifty years in less than two months.
Thinking of this, Hong Ming suppressed his ecstasy and began to observe.
From this observation, Hong Ming discovered a clue.
The flow of time between the Sun and Moon Gourd and the outside world turned out to be different. Hong Ming observed the Sun and Moon Gourd for half a day, but the growth of the Water Spirit Grass was normal.
But when I returned to the outside world, time had passed by just a few breaths.
Hong Ming did the calculations himself and got an incredible result. A year in the sun and moon gourd is only one day in the outside world.
This result made Hong Ming completely confused.
"This treasure is simply contrary to common sense. If anyone knew about it, even if they were in the Golden Core stage, they would die without a burial place."
Hong Ming was surprised and happy.
It took a day for Hong Ming to let go of the worries and ecstasy in his heart and start thinking.
"If the Sun and Moon Gourd is fully utilized, it can only be used to cultivate spiritual herbs, spiritual plants and the like. It only takes one year to cultivate elixirs that are more than 300 years old."
Hong Ming couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
It is three hundred years old. The elixir used by monks in the later stage of Qi training to improve their spiritual power is also made from this kind of elixir.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. In this way, many elixirs that are three to four hundred years old can be sold in one year. Calculated according to the price of spiritual stones, even a hundred plants are worth fifty to sixty thousand spiritual stones."
Hong Ming made a calculation in his heart and felt a little lost.
If the elixir production is thousands of flowers in a year, the harvest of spiritual stones will be between 500,000 and 600,000.
Unthinkable.
Hong Ming pondered for a long time in the cave and came to Fangshi again.
This time, Hong Ming did not go to the store, but wandered around the stalls.
The things on the stalls are relatively messy, and the quality of many magical instruments and elixirs is not as good as those in the shops. However, because of this, the prices are much cheaper.
Hong Ming was used to being poor before, so he was naturally familiar with stalls.
After wandering around for a long time, Hong Ming finally stopped at the stall of a white-haired old man.
There are several bottles of elixirs for the early stage of Qi training on this stall, and occasionally there are also elixirs for the middle stage of Qi training. The prices are 20 to 30% cheaper than in the market.
Hong Ming picked up the medicine bottles one by one, smelled them, looked at them, and wasted a whole stick of incense without buying anything. Finally, the white-haired old man became impatient.
"Fellow Taoist, if you don't want to buy elixirs, please don't delay your business here, okay?"
The old man's tone was not very good, and Hong Ming was not angry either.
Putting down the elixir in his hand, Hong Ming asked in a low voice:
"I wonder if you are willing to sell the alchemy technique in your Taoist friend's hands?"
"oh?"
The old man was surprised: "You want to learn the art of alchemy?"
"I think so too."
Hong Ming smiled and nodded.
With the Sun and Moon Gourd, Hong Ming's first thought was to use this treasure to cultivate elixirs and sell them, but this idea was quickly abandoned by Hong Ming.
It is impossible for monks who go out to sea to hunt monsters, even in the late stage of Qi training, to continuously produce thousands of beads of elixir. Even if they are lucky and sell them in batches, they will show their flaws after a long time.
Therefore, Hong Ming decided to make elixirs by himself.
"My little friend originally wanted to make alchemy by himself. Alas, your choice is very good. Among the various arts of cultivation, alchemy is the best choice. Which alchemist is not rich in wealth and has sufficient supply of elixirs for cultivation and alchemy?
It is also very helpful in understanding the Five Elements spells and can help break through the bottleneck of cultivation."
The gray-haired old man kept talking about the benefits of being an alchemist.
They only blow the alchemy in the sky but not on the earth.
If you had never seen the world, you might have been fooled by this old man, and you would have been so excited that you couldn't help yourself, and you would have shouted to buy the alchemy technique.
However, Hong Ming just looked at the old man with a smile on his face and did not say a word.
As a result, the old man's voice became lower as he spoke.
"Let's do this. This alchemy technique and three hundred spirit stones will be given to fellow Taoist." The old man gritted his teeth and said.
Hong Ming smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist, if you don't tell secrets, three hundred spirit stones are enough for me to buy a good alchemy book in the store, so why come here."
"My alchemy technique is inherited from my predecessors and includes the elixir recipes for the later stages of Qi training."
The old man said with a red face.
Hong Ming waved his hand:
"I just want to try my hand at elixir. Taoist friends must have a deep understanding of how difficult this art of alchemy is. If you don't have the talent, I won't waste too much time on alchemy."
Cultivation of all kinds of arts and hard work will naturally lead to extraordinary gains.
But for most monks, they are not qualified to practice asceticism.
Especially for alchemy. Ordinary monks don't have that long to practice alchemy with such spiritual stones. An old man like this has gray hair and a smell of decay all over his body. I'm afraid it won't be long before he turns into loess, but his cultivation
It’s only the middle stage of Qi training.
If this is the case, what will happen if you learn alchemy?
Having said that, Hong Ming also expressed his attitude.
When the old man heard this, he felt a little touched. He lowered his head and said nothing, and his eyes turned red. After a while, he came back to his senses and said:
"Fellow Taoist is still open-minded. I just didn't think clearly at the beginning. I insisted on studying the art of alchemy. I thought that by chance, I got the inheritance from my predecessors. I was arrogant and proud. I insisted on learning something about the art of alchemy.
It's a pity that more than a hundred years have passed and everything has been wasted. Now that I think about it, I regret it endlessly."
The old man spoke with emotion.
Hong Ming did not answer.
This experience was a wake-up call for Hong Ming.
Without the Sun and Moon Gourd, Hong Ming would not have dared to practice the art of alchemy. If he accidentally indulged in it, he would probably end up with the same result.
"Fellow Taoist, one hundred spiritual stones, I will give you the alchemy technique here. My alchemy technique was inherited from my predecessors, and it is considered extremely good. I don't have much time left to live, so just treat it like this.
Pass on this alchemy technique." The old man thought for a while and said with an extremely calm expression.
Hong Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded:
"Can."
He took out a hundred spirit stones and handed them over, and the old man took over a book made of animal skin, and also attached a jade slip.
"On top of this animal skin is the Nine Flame Alchemy Technique. This alchemy technique is indeed no small matter. It's just that a large part of the back is missing to make it what it is today. As for the other jade slip, it is my centuries-old alchemy technique.
The insights should be of some help to you." The old man said, minding his own business. After speaking, he actually put away the stall and prepared to leave.
Hong Ming took the book and the jade slip, looked at them slightly, and then showed a shocked expression.
Just when I wanted to thank you again, the old man's figure had disappeared.
After bowing in the direction of the old man's departure, Hong Ming turned around and left.
