Chapter 40: The Search for Elixir
Mengsheng continued to read "Shennong's Materia Medica", which has a total of 3 volumes and contains 365 kinds of medicines, including 252 kinds of plant medicines, 67 kinds of animal medicines, and 46 kinds of mineral medicines. According to the efficacy and purpose of the drug, it is divided into three products: upper, middle and lower, and is discussed separately in three volumes. Volume 1 is the "Shangjing", on "one hundred and twenty kinds of medicines, for the monarch, the lord feeds his life to respond to the sky, non-toxic, and does not hurt people if he takes it more or for a long time." Those who want to lighten their bodies and benefit their qi and prolong their lives are in this scripture." Volume 2 is the "Zhongjing", on "one hundred and twenty kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, for the minister, the main nourishment to respond to the person, non-toxic, toxic, consider the appropriate." If you want to curb the disease and make up for the winner, this is the middle of the scriptures". Volume 3 is "The Lower Scripture", which discusses "one hundred and twenty-five kinds of medicines, which are used as assistants, and the main treatment is to respond to the place, which is poisonous and cannot be taken for a long time." Those who want to get rid of cold and heat, break the accumulation, and heal the disease, this is the next scripture".
These contents account for two-thirds of the book, and the last third of the content lists 100 prescriptions, covering health, strengthening the body, curing poisons, curing diseases, and incurable diseases. Finally, there are 10 ancient formulas, which are the pills that increase the cultivation of monks from the foundation building period to the Mahayana period, including Zhuji Dan, Jinlu Dan, Peiying Dan, Zihe Dan, Yuxu Dan, Gushen Dan, etc., and there are detailed annotations on how to refine. At the same time, the selection and use of the drug tripod are also explained.
Mengsheng knew that the medicine tripod in the middle of the stone chamber was called Lingxu Ding, and the grade of alchemy with earth fire could be increased by one grade, and the rate of becoming a pill could be increased by 3 percent. Shennong's dream of the medicine tripod is the Lingmu Ding, this tripod is the Taishang Lingbao, such as cylindrical leaves, with the fire to refine, the grade can be the best, the rate of Cheng Dan is nearly 10 percent.
Seeing this, Mengsheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart, that Lingmu Ding couldn't be Xuantian Leaf, it was a Taishang Lingbao, like a cylindrical leaf, wasn't it who it was? Mengsheng didn't know, the main function of Xuantian Leaf was to refine pills. But I don't know what it is to leave the fire? Now let's try to practice with the Spirit Void Ding. Thinking of this, Mengsheng came to the center of the stone room, intending to collect the medicine tripod. So he dripped in the essence blood to recognize the master, but the tripod was very huge, and it was very inconvenient to put it in the storage bag, so he muttered softly: "It's too big, it's good to be small." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the medicine pod shrank rapidly, and finally reached the size of his palm, and Mengsheng happily held it in his hand and looked at it.
Mengsheng left the Danfang and came to the quiet room. When he left the pill room, he took away many bottles and jars for future storage of pills.
The quiet room is much smaller than the Dan room, two zhang square, only a stone bed and a stone table, extremely simple, this is the Shennong Clan's cultivation retreat room. There was only one robe on the stone bed, golden in color, and nothing else. Mengsheng sat on the stone bed, ready to pick up this clothes, just about to sit down, suddenly jumped up, the stone bed is cold * people, straight through the bones, take a closer look, only to see the cold on the bed steaming, condensed into frost, Mengsheng association master showed him "Strange Foreign Objects" There is a description, this is the cold jade of the North Sea, which can store items without rotting, clear the heat and clear the mind. Sleeping on this bed often can strengthen the body and concentrate the mind, replenish and create nature, and double the effect on the cultivation of water attribute exercises.
Mengsheng thought that the plum was a single spirit root of the water attribute, and if he used this bed, he would definitely receive very miraculous results. So put the cold jade bed into the storage bag and give it to the plum later. But thinking that Meizi was still in the Ghost Spirit Gate, I don't know how she was doing now? Was she tortured by the Ghost Spirit Gate? He clenched his fists hard, and he must improve his cultivation and go to rescue Meizi.
Mengsheng took the Beihai cold jade bed, picked up the golden silk robe, and started it silky, light as nothing, so he curiously put it on his body, and under the scan of his divine sense, it was already integrated into the body and disappeared. Looking at the stone table again, there was nothing empty, only two verses engraved on the table: Fa is born from the heart, and the secret of enlightenment is true like sex. Helping each other in ancient trees, the cause is known from here.
Mengsheng read softly, puzzled by its meaning. But thinking that Shennong's clan would never be full and had nothing to do, he engraved these two verses on the stone table. What must be implied or implied?
Mengsheng walked back and forth in the quiet room, chanting these two verses constantly, but he couldn't think of them. Alas, I'll talk about it later. This cave is good, there are eight steps and seven trigram arrays outside, it will not be disturbed, just practice the Houtu method here, and strive to break through to the third layer in a year, so that you can have the Jindan period of cultivation, and then fight with the Jindan period monks will not always be beaten like a kite with a broken line to fly straight back, there should be a fight.
Mengsheng released Xiaoqing out of the cave, instructed it to protect the Dharma, and then sat cross-legged on the ground of the meditation room, entered the Yuanshen into the Xuantian Bead, sat on the five-colored stone, and transported the soil method. The Xuantian Bead in the spleen rotated rapidly, absorbing the rich spiritual power in the Xuantian Bead, transforming it into earthy yellow spiritual power and sending it to the Mengsheng Dantian, and the dantian also rotated one after another, slowly compressing and solidifying the spiritual power injected by the Xuantian Bead.
At this time, the Xuantian Leaf was also slowly rotating, and wisps of cyan spiritual power flowed out from the bottom of the petiole, and it also headed towards the Mengsheng Dantian. Mengsheng knew that because he didn't cultivate the spirit wood technique, Xuantian Ye was not like Xuantian Bead, which could quickly rotate, absorb external spiritual power, transform it into this attribute spiritual power, and then input it into the dantian. If you cultivate the Spirit Wood Method at the same time, will the improvement of cultivation be doubled? How can I find the Spiritual Wood Technique?
Mengsheng devoted himself to cultivation in the quiet room, not mentioning. However, it was said that more than a dozen disciples of the three major sects had teleported to different places since the circular arch entered. To say that the luck is the best, it is Yang Xiaoqiong, she was actually teleported to the thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria cocos, by the cold lake.
Before the disciples of each faction went to the Xianxia Shengjing to practice, the heads of each faction had already explained to the disciples the shape and characteristics of the thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria cocos and where this herb was produced in the Shengdong Territory, which specifically mentioned that the Cold Flame Lake was a rich place, and its topographical characteristics and possible situations were also well known to the disciples. Therefore, Yang Xiaoqiong stood firm and looked up, knowing that this was the Hanyan Lake, the rich source of the thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria cocos.
But seeing the cold air on the surface of the cold lake, the blue flame in the center of the lake is like a fire snake swallowing non-stop, and the elixir turtle Poria of different sizes and years grows on the shores around the lake. This medicine is a tuber plant, the tuber is like a turtle, the branches and leaves are like a long stretching out*,* there is a small red flower blooming at the top, there is a ripe but a red fruit, the darker the color, the longer the year. The most conspicuous symbol of the thousand-year-old elixir tortoise Poria cocos is its purple-red fruit color.
This medicine has been germinating for 300 years, flowering for 300 years, and maturing for 300 years, and it is rare for it to become a thousand-year-old elixir turtle poria. Therefore, since the death of the ancestor of the three major factions, this task has never been issued for thousands of years, and this year is also because the Kunlun Temple wants to refine the Jade Void Pill, lacking this main medicine, and the thousand-year-old elixir Turtle Poria is only available in the Xianxia Victory Realm, so the three major sects are required to collect it during this year's training.
Yang Xiaoqiong sacrificed the magic weapon of protecting the body, which was a small mirror, which was the magic weapon that the master gave Yang Xiaoqiong for self-defense not long ago. Since Yang Xiaoqiong was rescued by Mengsheng, Yang Xiaoqiong, who has walked from the line of death, loves her even more, and hopes that she can enter the top three in this victory experience, become a disciple of Kunlun Temple, and win glory for the Dome Sect and her.
Under the protection of the mirror magic weapon, Yang Xiaoqiong carefully searched for the thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria along the shore of the lake, but after looking for a long time, they were all hundreds of years old turtle Poria cocos, but not a single thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria was found.
At first, I thought I had hit shit luck, but it turned out to be empty joy. Yang Xiaoqiong couldn't help but be a little frustrated. I saw a pair of deep footprints in the middle of the road ahead, so I stepped on them aimlessly. Suddenly, there was no space under his feet, Yang Xiaoqiong found himself falling straight to the ground, waiting to gain a firm foothold, but Yang Xiaoqiong was ecstatic, there were five thousand-year-old elixir turtle poria with purple-red fruit in front of her, and the fruit of one of them was already black and red, that is, it was more than 5,000 years old. Yang Xiaoqiong hurriedly squatted down to pick the elixir.
And Zhou Bingru was not as lucky as Yang Xiaoqiong, the place she teleported to was actually a third-order demon beast's lair, which was inhabited by four eight-legged spiders. Zhou Bing attacked like a water arrow technique and a water dragon technique, however, the water attribute spell had no effect on the flexible spider silk at all. After a while, I saw that Zhou Bingru was about to be caught in a spider web. Suddenly, a fireball shot quickly, and the cobwebs burned when they caught fire, and Zhou Bingru got out of the cobwebs, and his little face was already pink in shock.
"Senior Sister Zhou, it's okay. ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, thank you!" It was Zhao Zhenggang who arrived in time to rescue Zhou Bingru.
Zhao Zhenggang's teleportation place is not far from Zhou Bingru, but it is a dense woods, and there is no thousand-year-old elixir turtle Poria in it, so he also rushed to the origin of the head of the house, passing by here, suddenly heard the wind and water in the cave, through the fierce cry of the demon beast, he hid over, and saw that Zhou Bingru was trapped by the demon spider, so he came to help this ice beauty.
Next, the two joined forces, and under the attack of the two ninth layers of the Qi Condensation Period, the four third-order spiders were all eliminated. Then, the two of them walked towards the area where the thousand-year-old elixir Turtle Poria was abundant.
The stars have shifted, and the disciples of the three major sects have been in the territory of Xianxiasheng for more than half a year. On this day, on a verdant mountain, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the whole sky darkened, and the arm-thick lightning in the dark clouds continued to gather, if you look closely, you will find that those lightning bolts are gold, blue, blue, red, and yellow, and suddenly a yellow lightning rushed straight to the mountain below.
At this time, a person rushed out of the stone cave on the mountain, and it was Mengsheng. After more than half a year of cultivation in the Xuantian Bead, Mengsheng felt that the egg-sized liquid spiritual power group in the dantian had been basically solidified and formed on the basis of absorbing the ghostly ghost poison such as Cui Laowei and Jin Zhao and being transformed into earth and wood spiritual power by the two Xuantian Spirit Treasures. On this day, there was a sudden call in his heart that he wanted to go outside and accept the test of the Heavenly Tribulation.
