Chapter 2: Plan for the future

As a person who has a special liking for Xian Xia, as a person who hopes to be at ease, as a person who is afraid of death, now has the opportunity to cultivate immortals and seek longevity, Shi Xuan must not hesitate to pursue it.
To cultivate Taoism, wealth, companionship, law, and land are indispensable.
Cai, I inherited the legacy of the old Dao, I still have a thousand dollars and two silvers, but the accumulation of resources in the cultivation of the Tao is very small. In Xu Lao Dao's words, it is that the middle earth is lack of things for cultivation.
Lu, according to Xu Laodao’s approach, the highest cultivation base in the 13 states of the two capitals is only when the soul is out of the body. Then the cultivation base will be higher in the future, and when there is a bottleneck that requires other mountain stones, it may be difficult to find people of the same level to discuss It's time to discuss, let alone encounter problems, or encounter sentences that are not understood in Taoism, and it is time to consult people of higher levels.
Fa, I already have the fundamental Dafa that points directly to the Dao, and this is no need to ask for it from outside, but judging from the content of the Baolu just now, I am more inclined to Dao. There are only a dozen types of Dafa that are naturally derived from Dao Jue. Dao Fa.
As for the content of the refining tools, Qingyunzi himself had to extract only a few of the refining methods of the magic tools at the end of the first volume, and from the memory of the materials of these tools, only a few are known, and the rest are myths and scripts. There are several materials that only appeared in storytelling, and there are several kinds of materials that I have never heard of. The most important thing is that there is no basic content of refining, Shi Xuan almost burst into tears. When I saw a picture of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, What kind of life and death plate, five fires burning the sky, and so on, I was very excited, and the result was really ridiculous!
The content of alchemy is the same. It seems that these are not the contents of the Baolu, but only the few pill and artifacts that Qingyunzi himself attached to the end, plus he was a character from a long, long, long, long, long time ago, that's why this happened.
From the perspective of Xu Lao Dao, there are a few famous mountains and rivers where the environment is good.
Shi Xuan sighed. It seems that in the future, he must embark on the same way as Xu Laodao to travel the world to find immortals and visit Dao. After excluding those places that Xu Lao Dao had visited, Zhongtu seemed to have only three places to visit, Tongxuan Mountain, Man Mountain, and the Imperial Capital. The last one was added by Shi Xuan himself, because if there is a realm of immortality and they need to communicate with the mortal world, apart from the famous mountains and rivers, I am afraid that only one dynasty can meet the conditions, regardless of whether this condition is an item. The collection of spirit grass and other resources is still the recruitment of talented disciples. These are based on various novels I have read before, plus some empirical reasoning. If you make a mistake, just run for nothing.
When the Middle-earth tour is over, if there is no fairy fate, I will set sail to go to the fairy island in the East China Sea that is often mentioned in myths and legends. The order after that is the south of the hundred thousand mountains and the west wilderness.
Shi Xuan drank cold water. The long-term goals and steps in the future have been roughly planned. In the near future, he should heal the injury first, and then it is best to restore the body to the previous level, and then proceed to the next step after having the strength to protect himself. After ten years of veteran practice, he still has the ability to treat injuries and catch medicine, and his body will be restored 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 body forging and reached the level of self-generating inner energy and strong soul. And the soul belongs to Shi Xuan, and it was okay when he went to school in his last life. After he went to work, he neglected to exercise. The soul realm is also considered to be the initial stage of the body and soul. This is also the reason why Shi Xuan did not immediately start to practice visualization. When visualization, he will guide his inner energy to expand his soul. At present, the level of the soul is likely to be empty and not supplemented. For the sake of caution, it is better to train the body daily. After the body is slowly nourished, it reaches the strength of the soul at the initial stage of the soul strengthening and then starts to visualize.
In the past, it took Du Bai seven years to build his body from the beginning to the stage of nourishing his spirit and strengthening his soul. But now the body has reached the nourishing period, and the nourishment of the soul is not comparable to what it used to be. Shi Xuan estimates that the soul enters the soul-strengthening period, it should be a few times more than before. How long it will take, it will take some time to judge from the nourishing effect .
Moreover, the medicated bath prescriptions and medicinal soups that Du Bai used when he exercised his body at that time were all from the true biography obtained by Xu Laodao. Now Shi Xuan has a better choice. Baolu provides three prescriptions, each There are two kinds of medicine bath and taking.
However, just like pill recipes and Qi Tu, many medicinal materials in them are unheard of or are in legends. Especially the first medicine Dragon King Pill for Practicing Blood, 70% to 80% have never heard of it and it is in myths and legends. The second prescription, Renxian Tuti Decoction, is 40-50%.
The gratifying thing is that the third prescription Qianyuan Huanyutang, the best doctors out there may also say that more than 20% have never heard of and are in myths and legends, but these are in Xu Laodao’s prescriptions, and at the same time The ancient name is marked, the current name after the evolution of time!
Of course, everything is not so perfect, there is still a kind of medicinal material "Shi Shang Ginseng" that is not marked, but Shi Xuan remembers that he once saw it in ancient books, and it can basically be confirmed that it is in Shi Bao, Chi Ginseng, and Tai Mark Face One type, which is the specific one, can only be found after going out to buy some and finding a few experimental animals and trying it.
In fact, even if the names of the drugs are matched, Shi Xuan plans to find animal experiments first, because 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, the name of A has become D, and the name of B has become A.
Of course, if this happens, it is very likely that the medicinal properties of A and B are different. Shi Xuan is now considered proficient in pharmacology and should be able to tell the difference. But if the medicines of A and B are the same, but the slight differences are not the same, then it is possible that the drug B will pretend to be in Xu Laodao’s prescription, and it will have the same effect as other drugs, but it is ready to be used in Shixuan. The medicine is poisonous due to subtle differences. This kind of probability is very low and very low, but it can't stand up to it. In the matter of life, it is better to be cautious or cautious. Someone is going to cry.
Shi Xuan decided on the road ahead and the things he had to do recently, and he was instantly settled. Only then did he feel terribly hungry. He changed his Taoist robe and carried more than a hundred taels of silver. He planned to go out and fill his stomach first. To do all kinds of important things such as buying medicine. As for the relics left by Xu Lao Dao, let’s wait until the night is quiet.
When I left the yard, I was almost dazzled by the sun. Seeing that it was past noon, it was no wonder my stomach was so hungry. Locked the courtyard door, said hello to the left and right neighborhoods, and walked towards the alley.
The neighborhoods on the left and right were very surprised. Aunt Zhang on the left said to Aunt Li on the right: "Hey, this kid is usually shy and tight. He saw us passing by and the sun came out to the west, so she took the initiative to say hello."
"I think it was his grandfather who had tasted all kinds of tastes after he passed away. I think this kid is not bad. Your daughter is a good match for him. His family is also a rich man. A few hundred taels of silver is definitely worth it. Come out." Aunt Li has a passion for matchmaking.
Aunt Zhang sighed: "My girl, after reading with her second uncle for a few days, she was very arrogant. She always wanted to find a master Jinshi and didn't look at herself. Master Jinshi is in the sky, and she is worthy. Come on!"
However, Shi Xuan went out of the alley to the bustling and noisy street. Instead of choosing the richly decorated restaurant, he entered a small noodle shop on the street according to his memory.
"Uncle Liu, come to Sanliang Yangchun noodles, cut half a catty of stewed pork intestines." The stewed taste of this restaurant is unique in this city. You must know that this city is the city of Xia'an Fu, which is the boundary of Yangzhou except Yangzhou Zhoucheng. The first-class and prosperous place is not a small town, and the canal controlled by the Yangtze River is a well-known transportation hub in the 13 states.
"I said Du Xiaozi, usually you came very early, it's almost noon today." The owner Liu cut the pig intestines and walked over with a big belly. He was still very concerned about the neighborhood who grew up. .
"Hey, don't mention it, last night I was thinking about what to do in the future, and I couldn't sleep, and I felt a lot of pressure." Shi Xuan recalled Du Bai's tone in front of the shopkeeper Liu, but still unconsciously brought out the current tone.
Fortunately, the owner of Liu was concerned about the topic and didn’t pay too much attention to his tone: "I think you have a good body. If you don’t want to go to the yamen to be a servant, you don’t have a lot of salary, but the other aspects add up to a lot. Although I have some family background, I still can't sit and eat. I still have something to do in this respect."
Shi Xuan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Liu, I have a relative in Anjing City. I plan to leave for him in half a year. At the feet of the emperor, there will be more opportunities." It can be considered as a foreshadowing for leaving in the future. Neighbors around basically only knew that Shi Xuan was fighting the body, but they didn't know about Taoism practice. Even the world had actually seen Taoism, probably very few.
As for the issue of Taoist gowns, several successive emperors believe in it. Therefore, due to the prevailing atmosphere, many wealthy businessmen and even senior scholars like to wear Taoist gowns at home. In other words, Taoist gowns are modern brand-name casual clothes. So Shi Xuan was dressed in a Taoist robe without a Taoist disc, and it was nothing. At most, he was considered the son of a rich merchant or a scholar.
"At the feet of the emperor, there are many opportunities, but there are also many dangers. I know that you are young and ambitious, and you have to do your best." After the shopkeeper patted Shi Xuan's shoulder, he went to greet the new customers. At this time, Yangchun noodles came up.
Shi Xuan was so hungry a long time ago, but he had ten years of experience in cultivating physique, knowing that he shouldn't eat in a hurry at this time, so he started eating slowly. One bite of Yangchun noodles and one bite of braised, light and refreshing, full of braised aroma, smooth and not greasy, it is really delicious on earth.
Drinking the noodle soup in the last sip is really comfortable. After the foodie Shi Xuan soup in the last life was full, he finally felt good to be alive. Then he got up and gave the meal money to the owner Liu. After saying hello, he went out to the south of the city. , There are several big medicinal stores there.
