The reason why Xu Junming kept him was because he discovered that the Dragon Emperor was actually a "body of five virtues" that only one among hundreds of millions could have.
The so-called five-virtue body refers to a person who has a balance of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and is born with the innate Qi of the five elements in his body.
It is as precious and rare as Ren Wuji’s innate yin and yang body.
Moreover, what makes Dragon Emperor stronger than Ren Wuji is that the level of the innate Five Elements Qi in his body is higher than that of Ren Wuji.
There are five levels of innate weather.
Taichu, Taiji, Taiyi, Taishi, Taisu.
Commonly known as the "Five Congenital Tais".
When monks advance to the level of innateness and magical weapons advance to spiritual weapons, what is condensed in the body is the innate Taisu Qi.
Legend has it that only after becoming an immortal will the innate Qi of Taishi be born in the body.
Ren Wuji's innate yin and yang body is because he was born with an innate yin and yang energy at the Taishi level in his body.
Therefore, the body of innate yin and yang or the body of the five innate virtues is called "immortal talent" in the world of spiritual practice.
This means that people with these physiques are born with the qualifications to become immortals.
The reason why Xu Junming kept the Dragon Emperor's body was that he even used the Zhuogou Spring to keep him alive.
It is because the level of innate Five Elements Qi in Dragon Emperor's body is stronger than that of Ren Wuji.
It is Tai Chi level innate air.
Therefore, he can easily control the five elements, and he has even awakened his innate magical powers that are stronger than Ren Wuji.
If it weren't for the end of heaven's law, Xu Junming wouldn't be able to kill him at all.
It is precisely because the body of the Dragon Emperor is so precious that Xu Junming kept it and prepared it as the incarnation of his Fu Ya Soul.
Through spiritual consciousness, look inside the Dantian to see the gourd vine that represents the magical power of the "Seven Souls Incarnate". The second orange Fuya Soul Gourd is still not fully mature.
"I don't know when this gourd will be ripe and ready to fall off."
The maturity of the gourd not only requires extremely high spiritual cultivation, but also requires his magic power and soul to reach a certain level.
Now his soul magic talisman has turned purple. Although it is only the first time, Xu Junming feels that it is enough.
The only thing missing is his magic power and soul.
But now that his cultivation is sealed by the power of heaven in this world, even if he wants to practice, it will be of no avail.
After checking it out, I put it aside for now.
He stretched out his hand to wave a blue lotus flower.
On the lotus seat lies a large hall that was cut in half.
You can vaguely see the inscription "Sirian Wolf Palace" written above the lintel.
This Heavenly Wolf Palace is extremely huge. As the center of the Heavenly Wolf Peak Mountain Protection Formation, it is a top-quality spiritual weapon made entirely of thousand-refined copper.
King Tianlang occupied Daheng Mountain and plundered the entire mountain for copper mines before building such a grand hall.
Fortunately, this world has dense spiritual energy and various mineral deposits are much richer than those in Jiu Shu's world. Otherwise, even if we search the entire Xiajiang Province, we would not be able to collect so many thousand refined coppers.
However, if you want to cultivate an alchemy furnace, in addition to thousand-refined refined copper, you also need thirty-six precious spiritual materials such as thousand-refined white iron and yin-yang stones!
Moreover, what he wants to practice is not just the alchemy furnace, but the 'Tiangong Divine Furnace' that can refine weapons and sacrifice formations.
More spiritual materials are needed, and even after plundering the Daheng Mountain demon clan, the materials are still far behind.
He casually took down the broken plaque of Tianlang Palace, flames appeared in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, the plaque melted into a ball of molten copper.
With a casual move, the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room flew through the air. After absorbing the copper liquid, its aura became stronger.
Breaking through the restrictions in the storage room, he came to the sky above Dihuang Mountain, and with a casual throw, the alchemy furnace went straight up into the blue sky. His breath was released, and thunder and calamity rolled in.
The triple weapon was knocked down by the calamity. After being tempered by the calamity, the alchemy furnace absorbed a trace of the spiritual energy of creation and finally advanced to the spiritual weapon.
Watching the falling pill furnace.
"I'll practice with the Spirit Bronze Sacrifice later, it'll be enough for the time being!"
Throwing it with his left hand, the alchemy furnace flew down, fell into the alchemy room, and disappeared.
"call out…!"
Accompanied by the loud call of the phoenix, a big blue bird flew from a distance, followed closely by a white crane.
The two birds flew up and down, chasing each other, and soon reached the sky above Chongshanju.
"Master...!"
Accompanied by a crisp shout, white feathered cranes flew over with lightning.
On the back of the broad crane sat a little girl wearing a blue floral dress and a braided hair. Although she had tattoos on her face, it did not detract from her charm.
The bluebird also followed and hovered behind the little girl.
After Xu Junming nodded with a smile, he waved his left hand and a stream of yellow light flew in front of the little girl.
"Xin'er, try on these shoes."
Qiao Shouxin took the light yellow embroidered shoes and carefully put them on her feet. After walking a few steps on the crane's back, a surprised smile appeared on her face.
"Master, I'm not lame anymore."
The reason why Qiao Shouxin is lame is that her left foot is naturally one centimeter shorter than her right foot.
This kind of natural disability can only be compensated for when one becomes an immortal.
Becoming an immortal is the transformation of acquired nature back to the innate. The strong innate aura will wash away the last trace of acquired aura in the body, transforming the mortal into an immortal.
Not to mention a rebirth.
Only at this time can we make up for the innate regrets.
"You can wear these shoes from now on."
"Well, thank you, Master."
Patted her little head.
"Have you felt bored in Dihuang Mountain these past few days?"
"Um!"
"Let's go, Master will take you out for a walk."
After nodding his head repeatedly, Qiao Shouxin's eyes were full of expectation.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Xiajiang City."
Xu Junming had an inexplicable look on his face.
…
The official road was bustling with cars and horses, making it very lively.
Among the pedestrians going north and south, a tall man in green robes was particularly conspicuous.
He is holding a bamboo pole in his right hand, and on the top of the bamboo pole is a long flag with a green ground and a white background, which reads, "Medicine can not cure diseases, but can only help those who are destined."
Next to the man in green robe, there is a little girl with braided hair and a tattoo at the corner of her left face.
It was Xu Junming and his young apprentice Qiao Shouxin who left the cave in Dihuang Mountain.
"Master, it smells so good!"
Xu Junming turned around and saw that there was a roadside restaurant not far away.
The rich aroma of meat comes from inside.
"Want to eat?"
Qiao Shouxin nodded quickly.
Although she has abstained from grains, she has never eaten anything good since she was a child, so she can't help but be greedy when she comes across beef, mutton, or other delicacies.
With a smile on his face, he patted her little head.
"Let's go, Master will take you there."
The two walked forward a hundred meters, and three huts appeared on the roadside.
The hut was surrounded by a sparse fence, and in the middle was a door made of poplar boards. The workmanship was extremely crude. Not only were there cracks everywhere, but the wooden thorns on the boards were exposed. If you accidentally touched it, you would be punctured.
A dirty and broken flag was picked out above the wooden door and read "Zhang's Old Store".
Entering through the open courtyard gate, there is a table of more than ten feet in the courtyard in the middle of the thatched hut, where merchants traveling from north to south sit to drink and eat.
The sounds of bragging and spanking are endless.
A large iron pot was set up outside the hut on the left, and large pieces of mutton were tumbling in it. Along with the roiling water, the rich aroma of the meat made people salivate.
Next to the iron pot, there is a stove made of loess. A short, fat boy is filling the firewood. The village woman with a thick waist next to her rolls up her sleeves and puts the golden noodles baked in the earthen stove into a basket next to it.
"Guests please come in."
A middle-aged man wearing navy blue coarse cloth walked over quickly.
"Is there a quiet seat?"
"There's another one to the east."
Following the direction of his finger, Xu Junming saw an Eight Immortals table in the corner.
"That's it."
Walk over with Qiao Shouxin.
"Boss, how much does your mutton soup cost per bowl?"
"Two big boys, you can get free soup."
One tael of silver from Dayong Dynasty was worth twelve danzi.
A bowl of mutton soup for two adults is quite expensive.
However, this era is not the 21st century with great material abundance before Xu Junming was reborn.
Meat has never been cheap.
"How much does it cost if you add meat?"
"Two ounces of mutton for a big man. For haggis, three ounces of meat for a big man."
"Where's the pancake?"
"One big boy and four pancakes."
"Here are two bowls of mutton soup, add a pound of mutton to each, and eight noodles."
The middle-aged man looked at the two people in surprise.
"Guest, do you want too much?"
Xu Junming is just that, he is tall and strong, and he looks like he can eat.
But the little girl next to her, although she doesn't look delicate, can't eat a pound of meat.
"Don't worry, we will definitely be able to eat it."
He clapped his hands and put two taels of silver on the table.
When he saw the money, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he said no more.
Put away the money.
"Please wait a moment, the broth will be brought to you soon."
His movements were indeed not slow, and within five minutes, two large bowls of hot mutton soup were served.
In a large coarse porcelain bowl with a diameter of nearly one foot, the fat and lean mutton is served with chopped green onion and coriander, which has a particularly rich aroma.
It's a pity that the pepper is missing.
But that’s normal, spices were worth their weight in gold in ancient times.
How could there be an ordinary roadside restaurant?
Of course, Xu Junming's Dihuang Mountain does have spiritual roots that are nurtured by spiritual energy.
But that is used as an auxiliary medicine for refining elixirs, not for consumption.
So I didn’t prepare in advance.
In addition to the mutton, the middle-aged man also brought a plate of pickles.
Add soy sauce to radish, add a few drops of sesame oil, and let it sit for seven days.
The pickles soaked in this way are crispy and delicious, especially delicious.
Seeing Qiao Shouxin's eyes sparkling and the saliva almost falling from the corners of her lips, Xu Junming smiled.
"Look at how greedy you are, eat quickly."
"Master will eat too."
Xu Junming nodded. Although he had been abstinent for a long time, he didn't mind overindulging his appetite occasionally.
The longer you practice, the stronger the immortal flavor will be and the less human flavor you will get.
Sometimes, we need to return to our original nature and experience the life of ordinary people.
Xu Junming ate very slowly. He enjoyed the taste rather than being full.
In fact, with his current belly size, not to mention a bowl of mutton soup, even a pot of mutton soup would be just the bottom of the pot.
Just as he was chewing slowly, there was a sudden noise next to him.
An old man who had just entered and sat down suddenly fell unconscious and fell to the ground.
Everyone rushed forward to pinch him, but they couldn't wake up.
Seeing that his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and everyone was anxious, Xu Junming walked over.
"Get out of the way, he's suffering from heatstroke. There are so many people around him, he's suffocated even if he's not overheated."
"Who are you?"
He was so rude that some of the onlookers had a bad temper and started questioning him in public.
"I am a traveling doctor."
Hearing what he said, the crowd of onlookers gave way.
Doctors are still very respected among ordinary people.
Xu Junming stepped forward, opened the old man's eyelids and took a look.
Alchemy and medicine are mutually exclusive. Xu Junming is proficient in alchemy and his medical skills are naturally very good.
Because this old man is old and has a weak constitution, just pinching someone's philtrum may not be useful after a heatstroke.
He reached into his left sleeve with his right hand and took out a pack of silver needles from the space of the Taoist robe under cover.
He made this needle himself. When he was traveling around with Lin Zhengying in the world of Uncle Jiu, he occasionally practiced medicine to save people.
