Chapter 3: Buy medicine and check relics (seeking collection)

Shi Xuan was full of food and drink, and the whole talent had time to observe this antique city, which was completely different from modern society. While remembering the road to the south of the city, I looked around. Maybe it was because today was a market day and there was a lot of people. On both sides, there were small vendors selling some daily necessities. It seemed that they had been here for a long time. Vegetable sellers are roughly concentrated on a few of these streets. Outside these streets, only a few streets and corners can be seen sporadically in the south of the city.
It's June, and there are many people wearing Taoist gowns on the street. Some people even wore them and shook their folding fans.
Shi Xuan came to Shuijing Street in the south of the city, and walked to the pharmacy that seemed to be the largest and most crowded. When he walked to the door, he saw three large characters similar to Wei style-Tongrentang written on the door plaque. Shi Xuan was shocked at once, Tong Ren Tang is really powerful, and all branches have opened to another world.
After entering the door, I went straight to the counter and saw that the shopkeeper was greeting the guests. It was a good time to smile at the apprentice at the counter, greeted him, and reported several medicinal materials in the prescription. The elementary school students saw that although there are two kinds of precious medicinal materials, but there are still a lot of them, they did not ask Shi Xuan much, and directly grabbed the oil paper and handed them to Shi Xuan: "Chenghui four, two and three dollars."
Shi Xuan was secretly surprised at how expensive the medicines are. These are just a few of them. Looking at it this way, his property may only be able to prepare fifty or so medicinal materials. Each time I buy medicinal materials, it can be used six times in three days. If the soul hasn't entered the soul-strengthening stage after half a year, he will be bankrupt. There is a certain truth to the Taoist priests who are rich in culture and military. Of course, martial arts practitioners don’t have such magical and precious prescriptions. The prescriptions used by general martial arts practitioners for physical exercise cost tens of taels a year. The more precious ones are about one to two hundred taels. This is also very scary. , You must know that Shi Xuan's small courtyard is only worth two or three hundred taels of silver.
Although surprised in my heart, his face remained calm, took out the broken silver and paid to go out, and then went to several medicinal stores to prepare the medicinal materials on the prescription. This way, separate purchases from several stores can effectively prevent others from seeing through the purchased medicinal materials. The preciousness of prescriptions. This causes unnecessary trouble.
Then I went to the butcher shop and told the shopkeeper that he planned to invite relatives and friends to a dog meat feast, and asked the shopkeeper to send four live dogs to his small courtyard in the west of the city.
Shi Xuan returned to the small courtyard, meditated and adjusted his breath for a while. After regaining his calmness, he found three spare pots in the left wing, then pinched the tactics and chanted, mobilizing the five elements of his body and the sense of heaven and earth, and cast a dust removal spell. , Clean up the medicine jar. Then according to the last medicine, it was divided into three parts, and each was put in according to the quantity of the medicine and the amount of water required. At this time, the commonly used medicine tank cannot be used, because no matter how it is cleaned, the commonly used medicine tank will always have some medicinal properties. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem, but now it is a medicine similar to alchemy. A little extra medicine may cause failure. .
Carry the medicine jar into the kitchen. There is a row of small stoves that the old Taoist often uses for refining medicine. After placing it, he finds wood and uses ignition to light it. Shi Xuan started to feel a little tired. Hey, the soul is too weak. Although the energy of the five elements of the physical body can be used to cast spells during the period of nourishing energy, it will eventually consume the power of the soul. Of course, the energy of the five elements of the physical body during the period of nourishing energy can also be forged by Shi Xuan. The reason why the soul can cast spells during the period of physical cultivation.
Shi Xuan rallied, did not dare to neglect, pinched a good formula, chanted a good spell, performed fire control techniques, carefully controlled the fire, until half an hour passed, the hardest part in front was over, and now only needs to keep the fire. Slowly boil for two more hours.
Shi Xuan took a long breath, feeling that the whole person was dizzy. He quickly sat down cross-legged, exhaled and breathed out, and it took a while before he had the power to act. Shi Xuan's complexion returned to normal when the butcher's shopkeeper Zheng Sunan sent two black, two yellow and four dogs.
With the four dogs tied up, Shi Xuan drank a bucket of water from the small well and had a good drink, and then went into the house to sort out the relics of the old Taoist priest.
It was the first time Shi Xuan entered the old Dao room after his death. The room was very tidy. Shi Xuan searched around. Except for some clothing and commonly used items, it was a gray package. These clothes were not useful for Shi Xuan. Big, not fit, if you change it, you won't know how to needlework. It seems that the old Dao has a hunch about his death, and everything is in the package.
Open the package, there are three things inside, the same is an ancient book "Guizhen Jing", which is the true biography obtained by the old Dao, and it is also the method for this body to practice before, but for Shi Xuan, he has "Shangqing Yuyu" The Taobao Lu of the True Transmission of Erde’s Taoism directly refers to the fundamental Dafa of the Great Dao. The practice methods in this scripture are not very useful, but the Taoism in the "Baolu" is derived from the fundamental Dafa, except Of the several magical powers that need to be practiced by foreign objects, most of them are Taoism that can only be practiced during the Golden Core period and beyond. However, there are more Dao methods that can be used in the Guizhen Scriptures. Although they are all magic methods, they are not powerful because of realm restrictions, but they are magical and always have various useful points.
Shi Xuan thought of not having great power, so he thought of a magical channel technique in "The Treasure Record" that needs to be cultivated with foreign objects, Taiyin Lung Yang Geng Jin Jian Qi, this magical power needs to find a piece of Geng Jin, and then use the secret method to absorb the Geng Jin Qi. It lives in the lungs and fights with secret methods day and night, and finally takes shape. According to the description, it is extremely powerful, and it does not need to pinch the time for chanting like spells. It is extremely fast to use, and the monks in the soul stage may not be able to block the front. Of course, it's another matter whether you can hit or not, because this magical power has a distance limit and a limit on the number of times. Of course, as the sword qi is gradually cultivated in the future, the power and distance will become greater.
But it’s just thinking about it. This magical power requires the minimum to be in the out-of-aperture period to cultivate, because there is no fine control over one’s soul, what can be used to control the energy of Gengjin, there is no strong internal energy, what can be used in the lungs The sharpness to resist Gengjin's aura. Plus, where is Gengjin so easy to find! ! Of course, it’s okay if you don’t use Gengjin. Taiyi real gold, western gold essence, and Taibai essence. You can get the artifacts for practicing fairy swords in these legends, but you can change the name with magical powers. Of course, these can also be encountered but not sought. .
The strange thing is that Qingyunzi said in the "Baolu" that this supernatural power and the other four supernatural powers must be cultivated before the golden core period (Shaoyin Xinyang Deficiency Real Fire, Jueyin Liver Yang Green Wood Metaplasia Jue, Taiyin Spleen Yang Mountain Zhen Xing Gong, Shao Yin Kidney Yin Ice Soul Divine Light), then entering the Golden Core Period will have great benefits. What are the specific benefits? Qingyunzi sold it.
To return to the subject, the "Guizhen Jing" is also a fundamental part of the true teachings of Taoism, and there is no basis for refining tools and alchemy, which is really a pity.
Shi Xuan put the "Guizhen Jing" aside, and suddenly thought that he would major in "Bao Lu" in the future. Wouldn't the Taoist tradition of Xu Lao Dao be lost? Although he and Xu Lao Dao do not have actual feelings of master and apprentice, Xu The old Tao's care for Du Bai was also seen through memory fragments. Since it is his own body now, he must be thankful and repay his favor. It seems that he can only wait for another good quality jade when he travels the world in the future. The Taoism is passed on.
Shi Xuan looked at another thing. This was a stack of talisman seals, probably ten or so pieces. It was a self-defense thing that Xu Laodao prepared for his disciples in the last year. You must know that even if you enter the period of nourishing spirits Use magic, but the magic at this time requires many steps and a long time, so it is often done in advance to draw the talisman. At that time, only a spell or even a little soul power is needed to inspire the talisman. Xu Lao Dao is the one The master of the Aperture Period, the Fu Zhuan left behind is definitely better than the disciple Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan carefully checked the next talisman, a total of seventeen chapters, of which there are four four of them, invisibility hiding talisman, absorbing soil to form armor talisman, enchanting thunder talisman, golden light soul breaking talisman. The other one is written in ancient cloud seals (there are the ancient thunder pattern and ancient cloud seals on "The Treasure Record")-Taiyi Thunder Thunder, with thunder light looming on it, the handwriting is primitive, and it does not look like Xu What the old Tao can draw is either inherited from the time it was passed on, or from a trip out for adventure.
The last thing is a mirror and a piece of paper pasted by the old Dao. It says that it was obtained by the old Dao in a ruined temple at Laoshan in the west of the lake. This mirror has fixed the 100-year-old ghost in the temple. In ten years, Lao Dao passed by and moved the mirror to let the old ghost escape. After a war, Lao Dao almost died, and finally killed it with one of the two Taiyi Thunder Talisman he obtained when Yuzheng Chuan. The mirror was also shattered by the century-old ghost. Although Xu Laodao could not recognize the material of the mirror, he finally picked up the largest fragment of the mirror and made a new mirror, but it no longer has the power of the previous one, and can't even use the algorithm. It can only be weak due to nature and spirit. ghost.
However, it was precisely because of the good materials that Xu Lao Dao planned to leave it to his disciples, and he might not be able to re-practice a magic weapon if he had the opportunity in the future. As mentioned earlier, before the Golden Elixir period, there are various steps for casting spells. Although a lot of casting time will be saved as the realm improves, there are always people who think that the spelling is slow, so they come up with various alternative methods, such as talisman seals and magic weapons. . Borrowing foreign objects to practice magical powers on Baolu is also an alternative method.
Magic artifacts, using appropriate materials, appropriate prohibitions, and time-consuming refining spellcasting artifacts, are powerful and easy to use, and are the favorite things for monks. Of course, it is also a precious anomaly. The artifacts are divided into four levels: artifacts, spirit artifacts, magic treasures, and spirit treasures. The refining artifacts are used for the corresponding earth sha ban, and the earth shah of the magic weapon is fully integrated into the Tiangang restraint, and then it is advanced to the spiritual weapon. Only then can you continue to refine the Tiangang restraint. The prohibition of magic weapons and spiritual treasures are called treasure ban and spiritual ban respectively. Generally speaking, magical weapons and spiritual weapons are things of the Qi training period, and magic weapons and spirits are things of the Yuanshen period.
After Shi Xuan inspected the relics left by the old Dao, he put the scriptures close to his body. The talisman seals were placed in the pockets in the belt and sleeves for easy access. Only the mirror was received in his own package. Now there is no other suitable materials. , There is no refining technique, and the thinking device drools and it is useless.
Shi Xuan rested for a while, and it was time for the medicinal materials to boil.
