The blue ball that Xuan Weizi gave to Akuma Matata is based on the remaining fungal polymer after the real fire refining process. Once it is put into the soil and exposed to water, mushrooms will grow.
But because it has been condensed by Xuanweizi's real fire, the physical properties of the fungus have also been transformed, and it is equivalent to an external elixir. Even Xuanweizi does not dare to swallow it hastily. Even if it is a mushroom re-cultivated with this bead, eating it
Taking it into the stomach will also make people's blood flow and breath surge, just like a powerful stimulant.
According to "The Great Weapons of Heaven and Earth", alchemy and weapon refining have the same principles. They both use fire to condense physical properties. However, elixir refining requires more attention to the compatibility of monarchs, ministers and envoys.
Moreover, the elixirs made by cultivators are generally not for ordinary people. They need to have a certain cultivation base to refine the medicinal properties. The higher the quality of elixirs, the more requirements they require. Not only are the required materials expensive and hard to find, but also the timing and location of the elixirs.
There are many things to pay attention to, such as the temperature of the fire, the alchemy furnace, and the wind. Not to mention that since ancient times, alchemy has to be on guard against ghosts and gods, and there are even unpredictable phenomena when opening the furnace to make elixirs.
It is because of so many complicated requirements that the external elixir method began to decline when it was introduced in the Middle Ages. It could not be done without the emperors gathering the power of a country. However, those who needed elixirs often did not necessarily have the skills to refine elixirs, so one by one they would die, and even more.
Involving the inheritance and development of Waidan.
Xuan Weizi has now come to another world. The medicinal properties of various species are very different from those on the earth. Although he has identified many herbs, more than just grass and trees are needed to make elixirs? If you want to do well in the outer elixir method, you may be as good as a mage.
Learning arcana is a costly business, so Xuan Weizi couldn't make elixirs, so he could only make ordinary medicines and potions and act as a country doctor.
Moreover, the external alchemy method also has its own drawbacks, that is, it consumes a lot of material and energy, and only a few people are blessed with the elixir in the end. Therefore, for alchemy monks like Xuan Weizi, it is more important to understand the external alchemy method.
Mysticism and heat skills, if you really have to spend time refining elixirs, you might as well find some cereals and honey and mix some bigu pills into them. That thing will at least satisfy your hunger.
If you think about it carefully, isn't this the case for mages in this world? A large amount of material resources can be concentrated to cultivate a mage, but the arcane spellcasting ability of a mage cannot in turn solve the people's needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
…
When Theus woke up, he saw a large group of ugly, smelly snow goblins, under the command of Akuma Matata, re-building shacks and mole pens, and his thighs
There was actually a pile of snow goblin excrement beside it.
Theus was about to get angry, but then he thought: "Why should I be angry with these snow elves? I won't gain anything by scolding them, and they may not understand. Forget it, let's leave first."
After changing a pair of shoes, Titus squeezed a group of snow goblins and left the lair. It was still daytime outside. He took a deep breath and felt refreshed and relaxed. He found Xuan Weizi who was talking to Wolf not far away.
He asked excitedly: "Dr. Olenso, have I been sitting for too long?"
Xuan Weizi glanced at him and said: "It seems that your qualifications are quite good. You have been sitting here for a whole day."
"A whole day?" Theus was surprised. You must know that he usually cannot meditate for more than three hours. Even if he is sleeping, it is impossible to sit and sleep all day, and there is no backache!
"Let's not talk about these things for now. There is trouble in Chai Dui Town." Xuan Weizi raised his arm, and three little kingfishers landed on it. They seemed to be chirping angrily, but they looked very cute.
"Isn't this the old guy's animal companion?" Wolf asked.
Xuan Weizi did not expose Tar Valon's secret to his face and said: "They are here to summon the Lord Red Count of Lagen City for intercepting and killing the Ora Guards in Chaidui Town, concealing illegal weapons and armor, etc. Chai has been charged.
Duizhen was captured."
When Wolf heard this, he suddenly grabbed Theius and asked, spitting, "Did you tell the truth?!"
"Wait, it's not me!" Theus quickly waved his hand: "We came to Woodpile Town before, and we didn't even stop in Lagen City! That Red Earl is a peripheral member of the Eye of Mystery, and we can't possibly tip him off.
of!"
"It's not him, I've been paying attention to it." Xuan Weizi said: "I have asked my magic servant to go to Chai Dui Town to inquire about the situation, but it is said that Sir Salemi and a few people have taken advantage of the chaos and fled Chai Dui Town.
.”
"Fuck! You keep fighting against evil and protecting good people, but you really run away when something happens?" Wolf cursed angrily.
Xuan Weizi said: "He has a hard time explaining it. You have indeed done the interception and killing of the Austrian Guards. You even searched the town and found the legion's standard enchanted weapons. No matter how you argue, it is useless. Of course, the most important thing is
You can't beat him. That Red Earl seems to be a high mage...Am I right?"
Seeing the other party looking at him, Theus had no choice but to reply: "According to our information, the Red Earl is a necromancer, and he also has some special supernatural abilities. He has always hoped to squeeze into the Council of the Eye of Mystery, but he has not been able to do so.
Allowed. If he takes action personally, he can indeed win easily."
Xuan Weizi looked at the three little kingfishers with a smile. In fact, the old druid Tar Valon did not participate in the battle at all. Ever since Sir Salemi started building the chapel, Tar Valon had not known where to hide.
Sending three kingfishers over showed that his "body" needed to avoid disturbance at the moment.
As for what the old Druid was doing, it was self-evident to Xuan Weizi.
In fact, no fierce fighting broke out in Woodpile Town. The Red Earl just asked his men to enter the house to search. After a dispute, he cast two spells, and Sir Salemi fled in despair with a few people.
After informing the other two people about the general situation in Chaihei Town, Wolf asked: "Doctor, what are you going to do?"
"Is the Crimson Earl too idle to suddenly come to Chai Dui Town at this time?" Xuan Weizi sneered: "Since he is a peripheral member of the Eye of Mystery, and several mages have died in the Pentagram Tower, he should
You should be happy, why do you need to come to Chaidui Town to enforce the law with such fanfare?"
"He...could he have heard something?" Theus whispered to himself.
Of course Xuan Weizi could hear it from the side and asked: "Do you suspect that the Red Earl also came for the ruins of the ancient giants?"
Theus said with some confusion: "Even if it is, it shouldn't be a peripheral member like him to deal with the ancient giant ruins? The Eye of Mystery has more manpower than us anyway, so it won't be a problem to send a high mage here.
"
"Do peripheral members have any influence in the Eye of Mystery?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"It's hard to say, this is a very broad statement." Theus said: "Even some rich and wealthy landowners in the Old World do not have any spellcasting ability, but they can obtain the status of peripheral members by providing large donations to the Eye of Mystery.
There are even specialized high mages who serve as consultants. If they are such people, their every move will be cared about by the Eye of Mystery, and they can already be regarded as allies."
Xuan Weizi asked: "Then what is the council you just mentioned?"
Theus showed a strange expression and said: "You can think of it as the highest authority of the Eye of Mystery. Those who can become members of the council are at least high-ranking mages who master seventh-level arcana. So far, the number has not exceeded one hundred.
.”
"If it doesn't exceed, then it's close? Nearly a hundred high-ranking mages, that's also a very scary number." Xuan Weizi said.
"Actually, the Eye of Mystery Council pays more attention to the development and research of arcana itself by its members, not just the arcane level. Some people master the eighth level arcana at a young age, but they can't get into the council." Tiu
Si said: "This Red Earl is probably about the same. If he has any special skills, he will not be able to join the council. Because the Arcane Eye Council requires the 'purity of arcana', and even proposed to the Magic Council
Through the arcane bloodline transformation project, all human beings will gain the ability to cast arcane spells."
"Is there such a thing? But it sounds difficult to realize." Xuan Weizi said.
"Not only is it difficult to realize, it's completely whimsical! It's as nonsense as the floating sun cauldron. The Council of the Eye of Mystery often has these wild thoughts." Theus said: "The purity of arcana... This kind of statement is completely
It is self-contradictory. Modern arcana is gradually formed by summarizing a large number of ancient witchcraft, astrology, and alchemy. Their eyes of mystery are indeed at the forefront, but they cannot regard arcana as a god and place it supremely.
status, that is not the mentality you should have when learning arcana!"
"Oh? I didn't expect you to say such a thing." Xuan Weizi was a little curious.
Theus's smile froze and he had no choice but to reply: "This is not what I said, it was a speech given by 'Missile Queen' Mephisetis."
Every time he thought of the moving posture and aloof temperament of the "Missile Queen", Titus' body couldn't help but feel hot and hardened.
Ignoring Titus's reverie, Xuan Weizi said: "I guess he came here for the ruins of the ancient giants, but the Crimson Earl seems to be very ambitious and plans to take it all by himself, and also controls Chai Dui Town.
, just to prevent the spread of the news. If I guess correctly, he is sending people to hunt down Sir Salemi, and at the same time, he is also starting to purge the people in the town."
"Why? The people of Woodpile Town can't threaten him at all!" Wolf asked dissatisfied.
Xuan Weizi reminded: "Those who know how to obtain intelligence often also know how to block the transmission of intelligence. No matter how he learns about the interception and killing of the Offensive Guards, as long as he comes to Chaidui Town, he can torture the townspeople at any time.
I learned about the giant ruins. In order to block the news from spreading, killing people and silencing them is the most direct method."
Titus nodded at the side: "Yes, yes, the Eye of Mystery is so rude and unreasonable in its actions. Unlike our Pentagram Tower, we always do things with a caring attitude and don't treat the general public.
cause some damages……"
"Just go ahead!" Wolf interrupted and asked Xuan Weizi: "Doctor, are you really not going to save the people of Chaihei Town?"
"Rescue? How to save? The Red Earl brought hundreds of people to Chaidui Town, and it was not the situation when the natives attacked." Xuan Weizi said: "What's more, how can it be as simple as saving a whole town now?"
First it was the Arcane Guards, then Myon, who was driven to the surface by the astral psion, and then the lord of Lagen City. Maybe after the beginning of spring, some force would take a fancy to Woodpile Town.
Originally, Xuan Weizi really didn't want to care about these things. After all, being involved in foreign affairs was nothing more than spiritual practice. But now that he has succeeded in refining weapons and has a new understanding of cultivation, practice, and practice, Xuan Weizi knows how to avoid the development of the situation.
It is not conducive to Taoist cultivation.
Cultivation is not about sitting in meditation, adjusting your breath and doing exercises. Any achievements in cultivation must be tested by returning to actual actions, rather than relying solely on the realization in the state of concentration.
Just like some people claim that their original mind is not affected by external things. It is useless to just say that they must respond to things, accept things, and treat things. It is true that the original mind has gone through hardships and turmoil and remains unmoved. This kind of spiritual achievement can be regarded as
real.
Inaction in Taoism does not mean inaction. The common and foolish people do not understand the meaning of the scriptures and think that the opposite of inaction is "doing", which is actually a big mistake.
The opposite of inaction is man-made, that is, it is pretentious, false, and vain. The original intention of inaction is to be based on "truth." If you can't practice it personally and see the true nature, your great cultivation will be just a pretense.
What's more, Xuan Weizi's cultivation level has now reached the "Nine Returns". If he wants to go one step further to reach the "Purple Golden Pill", it cannot be achieved by simply practicing martial arts.
Laymen always talk about the true nature of a person's original mind. In fact, if you have not broken away from the delusional mind and reached the state of great perfection, you are not qualified to talk about the true nature of the original mind. Because a person is born into acquired nature, the true nature of the original mind is blinded by various appearances.
.In this case, ordinary people are not qualified to talk about doing nothing but doing everything.
And it is very difficult to see the true nature just by practicing meditation. You may have one or two experiences in the state of concentration, but after you leave the concentration and collect the power, you will return to the dust. After all, you are wandering outside the gate of Dacheng.
Taoism teaches people to get along with the world. The true nature of the heart is true, and the creation of heaven and earth is also true. And the human affairs in the world also obscure the creation of heaven and earth. If people who practice Taoism want to go against the acquired and the innate, and understand the wonders of heaven and man, they need inner
Verification of authenticity, external reference to creation.
Therefore, a monk who truly yearns for the Great Dao should not avoid the human affairs of the world and the chaos of the mortal world. He should analyze it layer by layer, identify it piece by piece, break through the confusion in the world, and point directly to the way of nature.
What we need to explore right now is precisely the thought of "avoiding tediousness, but seeking peace and quiet". Thinking that you can get peace and quiet, isn't it a pretense that obscures your true nature? One step back, one step back, one step back, one step back, one step back, one step back, one step back.
.
"Doctor, what are you laughing at?" When Wolf saw Xuan Weizi standing silent, he suddenly smiled, as if he had figured out some difficult problem.
"Hahaha, I'm thinking about what to do next." Xuan Weizi sighed in his heart: "In my previous life, I clearly had the great wish to save all sentient beings, and even had the ambition to conquer the world. Why did I shrink back when I came to a different world?
?I was not so timid when I left the disciples before my cultivation was complete. Humph! Who cares about you, you are a monster, do you really think that I am just being manipulated and played with? They have already come to you, so don’t blame me for being cruel!"
