Chapter 068: Listen to the old man and the ancients
Listen to the old man and put the ancient
During this time, in the unit, Xiang Qian was busy with the work at hand, and he would no longer go around the mountains as before, but sat quietly at the desk alone, studying the two medicine books "scooped" from the villa.
The illustrated modern version is good to say, there are pictures and words, as if looking at the picture to speak, within two days, I read through it twice before the direction. At this moment, it was as if a skylight had been pushed open in front of the direction, and the horizon was suddenly opened!
According to the book, after failing three or five times, Xiang Qian tried to refine two more pills: the Fixing Yan Pill and the Qi Condensing Pill.
According to the medicine book, the former has the effect of delaying aging and retaining youth. It's just that if you really want to stay young, you have to start taking it before the age of thirty, and at least swallow this pill once a year, and it is best to combine it with meditation and qi practice. At its best, it can be a year, twenty or even more years younger than its peers.
However, such a drastic effort, in the final analysis, it can't make youth really permanent, and there is still a day when life ends. It seems that unless you are a person who pays special attention to your appearance, ordinary people will not pay too much attention to this elixir.
And when it comes to the cost of refining this pill, Xiang Qian wrenched his fingers and calculated, the medicinal materials consumed before and after, those auxiliary materials temporarily bought in ordinary Chinese medicine stores and those few elixirs and spiritual branches that do not know the market price, not to mention, just as far as the one of the spirit herbs to be used is concerned, Xiang Qian trance remembered that the last time he saw the price in Sanguitang, it should be about 8,000 yuan. In order to refine this pill, I failed three times before and after, not to mention anything else, just this flavor material, I used more than 20,000 ah!
It's really a small account that can't be calculated, and this account is enough to make Xiang Qian really depressed for several days.
Mamma Mia, I knew it was like this, what did I do with this!
The point is, I don't know what the selling price of this pill will be on the market after it is refined? If the bread is only sold for a flour price in the end, then what is the purpose of refining this pill? Is it possible to produce it for its own use? However, I am in my youth, and I am far from the time when I need to catch the tail of youth. Hey, a moment of curiosity plus a wrong choice, wasteful, wasteful!
Do you want to give it away? Xia Lu's woman, if she was in good order, she was still her girlfriend, she would definitely be allowed to enjoy it, but now...... Hehehehe, how can such a precious thing be cheaper for her? However, sooner or later, I have to let her know a thing or two, and she should be angry.
As for the Qi Condensing Pill, according to the medicine book, it was prepared for the monks of the "Yuansheng Realm". After taking it, in its realm, there is a certain chance of impacting the next layer of cultivation, but in the entire Yuansheng cultivation realm, there is only one chance that it will have an effect after taking it, and after that, if you think about taking this pill to improve your cultivation, it will be useless, but it is just a waste of pills.
"Yuansheng Realm"? What kind of thing is this? I don't know the direction before, but He Zhengshen knows.
Today, since he asked about the direction, He Zhengshen thought of some stories that he had not had time to talk about before the direction, and simply explained: "Since ancient times, immortal cultivators have been divided into 'Wen Xiu' and 'Wu Xiu'. There has been no public opinion since ancient times. The two factions quarreled and quarreled, and even fought each other, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed. ”
"Objectively speaking, in comparison, the former cultivation is extremely difficult, not to mention the slow process, and the exercises and immortal arts are generally much inferior to those of the same level of martial arts. ”
"As for 'martial arts', one is easy to use and has immediate results. Among the monks, if they have good qualifications, they can only have three or five years of hard work, and they can have mana, and they can achieve a little success; The second is to make rapid progress and become famous. Whether it's demon subjugation or demon extermination, it's highly sought after. ”
"Therefore, in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, regardless of east, west, north and south, among the immortal cultivators, nine out of ten people choose the path of 'martial cultivation'......"
"Cut, then why didn't you choose 'Wu Xiu' in the first place? You followed the crowd early, and you won't be like you are always scared all day long. Direction interjected.
He Zhengshen has been in contact with the direction for a long time, knowing that he is just a verbal unforgiving person, but he has a soft temperament in his heart, and he is not annoyed by the faint contempt in his words, and chuckled: "Hey, it's not that I don't want to, but I have to have that condition at that time." ”
"Don't you know, most of the people who choose 'martial cultivation' have always been relatives and descendants of disciples and protégés in various sects, or old friends, or people who happen by chance. Of course, some Daoist immortals who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and ancient caves at the beginning, and now they are hidden in the rolling red dust, will occasionally open the door and set up an altar and accept one or two disciples, but that kind of good thing, if it is your turn, this probability is not known to be one in thousands, tens of thousands. Tut-tut, that's something you don't even dream about. ”
"As for me, it's a blessing to say, I actually got an ancient book by accident, and I naturally didn't understand these Taoists at that time, and it was very good to be able to practice. After cultivating all the way, it became what it is today. But, little brother, just like me, it's not me who blows, the whole world, I don't know how many people dream of it but can't get it?" Unconsciously, He Zhengshen's words carried a bit of self-satisfaction.
The direction pouted, and there was no more sarcasm.
He Zhengshen felt that his color was too revealing, and hurriedly went back to make up for it: "Hey, it's just that this 'Wen Xiu' also has all kinds of suffering." As far as pure cultivators like me are concerned, not to mention being lonely and lonely, many times, they are often bullied by 'martial cultivators'. The pill was taken away and the cave was occupied, that is also a common thing, and at this time, you can only dare to be angry and dare not speak. Hey, I can't get anyone, there's no way!"
"However, this 'cultural cultivation' naturally also has its benefits, which is like a jar of old wine, relying on the precipitation of time, it is more and more mellow. With the passage of time, the one who really has the last laugh is often 'Wen Xiu', and most of the real great supernatural monks also come from 'Wen Xiu'. Let's just say that in your mortal world, there are also those who are well mixed in the 'cultural cultivation', such as the medicine gate mentioned earlier. They originally started as 'Wen Xiu', and later refined pills through guò, and many famous masters on the Internet, collected a lot of miraculous skills, and their power was once in the world of cultivating immortals, and it was also like the sky. ”
"It's just that most of the 'cultural repairs' are basically the same as me. He Zhengshen said with a dry laugh.
"Now let's talk about 'martial arts'. Those guys, if you want to put them in the past, they are majestic and fragrant. However, this 'martial cultivation' certainly has a thousand benefits, but there is only one, and the older generation often says, 'Wealth and wealth are sought in danger.' 'You say that their pre-eminence fell from the sky for nothing?'
"Not at all! I don't know how many fierce battles and how many times I have to lick the blood from the knife to fight. I can't stand that kind of life of living on the tip of a knife. What's more, they blindly pursue mana refinement and cultivation for great success, and work hard every day, needless to say, the key is that many times, they need a large number of pills to improve their cultivation and assist in tackling key problems. In this way, little brother, if you think about it, if it is just one person who cultivates, and the pills that are spent are not yet visible, then if one clan and one person cultivate at the same time, then the demand for pills is not a small amount, right? How much financial resources do you need to support it?"
