www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Catalog of Destruction!
As a person who has a special liking for immortals, as a person who hopes to be free and carefree, and as a person who is afraid of death, now that he has the opportunity to cultivate immortality and seek immortality, Shi Xuan will definitely pursue it without hesitation.
To practice Taoism, money, partners, Dharma, and land are essential.
Cai, I inherited Lao Tao's legacy, and I still have a thousand taels of silver, but the accumulation of cultivation resources is very small. In the words of Xu Lao Tao, there is a shortage of things for cultivating immortals in the land of Middle-earth.
My friend, from the perspective of Xu Laodao, the highest cultivation level in the two capitals and thirteen states is only to the point where the soul leaves the body. Then in the future, when the cultivation level is high and there are bottlenecks that require stones from other mountains, it may be difficult to find the same person. It’s time for people at a higher level to discuss and discuss, not to mention when they encounter difficult problems or sentences that they don’t understand in terms of Taoism and need to consult people at a higher level.
Dharma, I already have the fundamental foundation that points directly to the Tao. There is no need to ask for this from outside, but judging from the content of the first volume of Baolu just now, I am more inclined to the Tao. In terms of Dharma, there are only about ten kinds of laws that are determined by the Tao. Derived Taoism.
As for the content of the weapon refining, Qingyunzi himself excerpted a few magic weapon refining methods at the end of the first volume, and judging from the materials of these magic weapons, only a few are known from memory, and the rest are myths. , storybooks, and storytelling materials, and there are even some materials that I have never heard of. The most important thing is that there is no basic content on weapon refining. Shi Xuan almost burst into tears. What world did he see before? Pictures of mountains and rivers, life and death disks, five fire burning sky flags, and the like were very exciting, but the results were really deceptive!
The same is true for alchemy. It seems that these are not the contents of the treasure record, but the last few pill formulas and diagrams of the equipment that Qingyunzi himself attached. In addition, he was a person from a long, long, long, long, long time ago, so this situation occurred.
From what Xu Laodao meant, there are many famous mountains and rivers with a good environment.
Shi Xuan sighed. It seems that he will definitely embark on the same path as Xu Laodao in the future, traveling around the world in search of immortals. Then excluding the places that Xu Laodao has been to, it seems that there are only three places in China that need to be visited, Tongxuan Mountain, Mang Mountain and Yanjing. The last part was added by Shi Xuan himself, because if there really is a world of immortality, and they need to communicate with the mortal world, apart from the famous mountains and rivers, I am afraid that only the capital of one dynasty can meet the conditions, no matter whether this condition is to meet the items The collection of spiritual herbs and other resources is also the recruitment of talented disciples. These are all based on various novels I have read before, plus some empirical reasoning. If you are wrong, just consider your trip in vain.
After traveling through Middle-earth, if there is no fairy fate yet, I will prepare to set sail to go to the fairy island in the East China Sea that is often mentioned in myths and legends. The following order is south of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Western Wilderness.
Shi Xuan took a sip of cold water. The long-term goals and steps for the future have been roughly planned. In the short term, he will first need to heal his injuries, and then it is best to restore his body to its previous level. After he has the power to protect himself, he can proceed further. step. I have been following the old doctor for ten years, and I still have the skills of medicine, pharmacology, healing and medicine, and my body will be back to its original state within half a month.
However, the main problem is that the body and soul are at different levels. The body is Du Bai's body, which has passed the realm of physical training and reached the level of self-generated internal energy and strong soul. The soul belongs to Shi Xuan. It was fine when he was in school in his previous life, but he neglected to exercise after going to work. The soul state is still in the early stage of the body-training and soul-nurturing period. This is also the reason why Shi Xuan did not start visualization practice immediately. During visualization, the inner energy will be guided to strengthen the soul. At the current level of the soul, it is very likely that the deficiency will not be replenished. To be cautious, it is better to exercise every day and wait for the soul to grow. **Slowly nourish and reach the initial soul strength before starting to visualize.
In the past, it took Du Bai seven years to start exercising from scratch until he entered the stage of nourishing Qi and strengthening the soul. But now the body has reached the Qi-nourishing stage, and the nourishment for the soul is not comparable to before. Shi Xuan estimates that the soul entering the soul-strengthening stage should be several times smaller than before. The specific time for it to arrive will take some time, judging from the nourishing effect. determination.
Moreover, the medicinal bath prescriptions and medicinal soups that Du Bai used when exercising were all from the true biography obtained by Xu Laodao. Now Shi Xuan has a better choice and has provided three prescriptions in Baolu. , each course is divided into two types: medicated bath and taking.
However, just like the pill recipe and the device map, many of the medicinal materials in it are unheard of or are in legends. Especially the first prescription, the Dragon King's Blood Refining Pill, has probably never been heard of and is only from myths and legends. The second prescription, Renxian Body Strengthening Decoction, is 40% to 50%.
The good news is that the third prescription, Qianyuan Changmui Decoction, the best doctors outside may say that more than 20% of it is unheard of or from myths and legends, but these are included in Xu Laodao's prescription. , and also marked its ancient name, and its current name after the evolution of time!
Of course, everything is not perfect, and there is still a kind of medicinal material "Shishang Ginseng" that is not labeled, but Shi Xuan remembers seeing it in ancient books, and he can basically confirm that it is Shibao, Red Ginseng, and Taihen. One type of face, and which one it is, I can only wait until I go out to buy some of each, find a few experimental animals, and try it out to find out.
In fact, even if the names of the drugs are correct, Shi Xuan plans to conduct animal experiments first, because after the name of the drug has evolved for so long, it is very possible that another drug will evolve into the current name. For example, it was originally A and B. After evolution, A's name became D, and B's name became A.
Of course, if this happens, it is very likely that the medicine names of A and B are different. Shi Xuan is now proficient in pharmacology and should be able to tell the difference. But if A and B have the same drug name but are different in subtle ways, then it is possible that B's drug will be passed off as A's. In Xu Laodao's prescription, it coincides with other drugs and has an effect, but in Shi Xuan's prescription The medicines prepared for use are poisonous due to subtle differences. The probability of this is very low, but you can't deal with it just in case. When it comes to issues related to your own life, it's better to be more cautious. If something really goes wrong, who can you cry to?
Shi Xuan decided on the future path and a few things to be done recently. He was immediately determined. Then he felt very hungry. He changed into a Taoist robe, took more than a hundred taels of silver, and planned to go out and fill up his stomach first. After eating, we will go to buy medicine and other important things. As for the few relics left by Xu Laodao, we should wait until the night is quiet to see them
Out of the yard, I was almost blinded by the sun. It was already past noon. No wonder I was very hungry. He locked the courtyard door, said hello to the neighbors on his left and right, and walked towards the alley.
The neighbors on the left and right were very surprised. Aunt Zhang on the left said to Aunt Li on the right: "Hey, this guy is usually very shy. When he saw us passing by with our heads down, the sun came out in the west today, so he took the initiative to say hello. ”
"I think it was after his grandfather passed away that he tasted all kinds of things. I think this guy is pretty good. Your daughter is a perfect match for him. His family is also rich, with a few hundred taels of silver. "I can definitely get it." Aunt Li is passionate about matchmaking.
Aunt Zhang sighed: "My **** girl has been studying with her second uncle for a few days. She is very arrogant. She always wants to find a Jinshi master, and she doesn't look at herself. The Jinshi master is a star in the sky. Does she deserve it?"
But Shi Xuan walked out of the alley and arrived at the bustling and noisy street. Instead of choosing the large ornately decorated restaurant, he went to a small noodle shop on the street based on his memory.
"Uncle Liu, come to Sanliang Yangchun Noodles and cut into half a catty of braised pig intestines." The braised taste of this restaurant is unique in this city. You must know that this city is the capital of Xia'an Prefecture, which is the boundary of Yangzhou except Yangzhou Prefecture. The first-class prosperous place outside the city is not a small town. It is controlled by a canal along the Yangtze River and is a famous transportation hub in thirteen states in the world.
"Hey, Mr. Du, you usually come very early. It's almost noon today." Shopkeeper Liu cut the pig intestines and walked over with a big belly. He still looked at this neighbor who had grown up. Very concerned.
"Hey, don't mention it. I was thinking about what to do in the future last night and couldn't sleep. I felt very stressed." Shi Xuan recalled Du Bai's tone in front of Shopkeeper Liu, but he still unconsciously brought it out Now the tone.
Fortunately, Shopkeeper Liu cares about the content of the topic and does not pay too much attention to his tone: "I see that you have a good body. Why don't you go to the yamen and be a yamen servant? The salary is not much, but the other aspects add up to a lot. , Although your family has some wealth, you still can’t just sit back and have nothing. I still have some connections in this regard.”
Shi Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Liu, I have a relative in Anjing City. I plan to leave in half a year to join him. Under the emperor's feet, there will be more opportunities." It can also be regarded as laying the foundation for leaving in the future. Foreshadowing. The neighbors basically only knew that Shi Xuan was exercising, but they didn't know about practicing Taoism. There were probably very few people in the world who had actually seen Taoism.
As for the issue of Taoist robes, several emperors in succession believed in Taoism, so as a result of the general trend in the world, many wealthy businessmen, and even Confucian scholars and high-ranking officials also like to wear Taoist robes at home. In other words, Taoist robes are modern brand-name casual clothes. . Therefore, it didn't matter that Shi Xuan was wearing a Taoist robe but no Taoist disc. At most, he was thought to be the son of a wealthy businessman or a Confucian scholar.
"Although there are many opportunities under the emperor's feet, there are also many dangers. I know that you are young and ambitious, so you must do your best." After speaking, shopkeeper Liu patted Shi Xuan on the shoulder and went to greet the new customers. . At this time, Yangchun noodles were also served.
Shi Xuan was very hungry for a long time, but with ten years of experience in Taoism and physical training, he knew not to eat in a hurry at this time, so he ate slowly. One bite of Yangchun noodles, braised in one bite, light and refreshing, full of braised aroma, smooth but not greasy, it is truly delicious.
I drank the noodle soup in the last mouthful. It was so comfortable. After I was full of Shi Xuan Tang, a foodie in my previous life, I finally felt so good to be alive. Then I got up and gave the meal money to Shopkeeper Liu, said hello and then went out to the south of the city. I went in the direction and there were several big medicinal stores there.
