Chapter 37: Ten Thousand Miles
By the time Ji Wei finally advanced to the condensation stage, Lin Han's hair was no different from a ball of weeds.
Fortunately, Lingquan, who was regarded by Lin Han as heavier than his life, was not damaged, otherwise Ji Biao would have been beaten more than once today.
I have to say that the quality of the jade album given by Xiaoyaojing is still good, after such a chaos, it has not been broken, and it can be seen when it is fished out of the rubble all over the ground, Lin Han commanded Ji Biao to clean the wreckage of the cave, and then sat alone by the spring with a large bowl mouth, and carefully studied the secret of the Green Emperor.
Although the method of water refining is very different from the method of fire refining, the essence is to use foreign substances to remove the herbs and retain the essence, skim off the impurities, and let the essence part condense into Dan. It's just that the art of fire alchemy is more violent, so it is necessary to use the seal pattern on the medicine tripod to adjust the flame, while the art of water alchemy is to completely rely on one's own spiritual sense to control the aura, so that the aura and the spiritual spring water work together to wash away the impurities in the elixir and leave useful ingredients. As long as there is a good Danding and a good flame control, the art of fire refining can be introduced, in comparison, the art of water refining is simply difficult to ascend to the sky.
And this Qingdi secret is difficult to forget, the tone is still very arrogant, at the beginning of the fire alchemy that is regarded as the orthodoxy of alchemy, greatly criticized, first said that the pill is mostly water attribute herbs and wood attribute herbs, so that it can heal and rejuvenate, nourish the effect of aura, it is a big mistake to use flame to alchemy, not only can not increase the attributes of water and wood, but will wear down the spirituality of the pill, so that the pill with fire poison. And the fire bursts, can not be controlled, even if the seal pattern of the Danding is used to refine the impurities in the herb, but the seal pattern can not be changed once engraved, and the situation at the time of alchemy is ever-changing, and each elixir is different, even if it is the same variety, because of the different seasons and growth times, there will be great differences, unless the seal pattern is re-engraved once the pill is refined, otherwise every alchemy is in the shaved foot, and the elixir is ruined in vain.
In the end, the secret of the Blue Emperor also fiercely ridiculed the alchemists who used the art of fire alchemy, saying that they had been blindly pursuing the grade of the elixir all their lives, and they did not hesitate to go in and out of the deep mountains and old forests in order to get a good elixir, and used many rare elixirs that were encountered once in thousands of years to refine the so-called "elixir", which was sought after by the world. As everyone knows, they have been a firefighter all their lives, and they knead many good elixirs together with Danding in a mess, which is barely regarded as an elixir, and the medicinal properties are mixed, and the effect depends on the medicinal properties accumulated by the elixir for thousands of years, and there is no Dan nature, and he also admonishes the world not to rely too much on the acquired thing of the elixir, and to cultivate hard by himself. In fact, their own medicine was not refined. He also said that in fact, the pill with the real Dan nature is equivalent to an innate thing, and it is easier to absorb than the aura.
And the real good elixir can naturally only be refined by the water refining technique in the Blue Emperor's Secret Jane!
Lin Han also believed this criticism, so he didn't have the intention of learning the art of fire alchemy at all, and devoted himself to studying the art of water alchemy.
This spiritual spring water is so precious, it is also very beneficial to use it to water medicinal herbs, but he did not hesitate to put a few washed and cleaned high-grade spiritual elixirs into it, if Huo Ling was here, he would know what he was going to refine when he saw the few medicinal herbs he took out.
He used several very common herbs, all of which were water-attributed, flowstone grass, silver-green gold-edged flowers, and three-dog greens...... These herbs are exactly what is used to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill.
The three most common pills in the cultivation realm, Zhuji Dan, Juling Pill, and Cleansing Pill.
Zhuji Dan is those cultivators or sects who come to help their disciples build a foundation as soon as possible and enter the ranks of cultivators. Now that the Heavenly Sword Sect has closed the mountain, the disciples on the mountain are all disciples who have already started, and there is no market. The myelin cleansing pill is the most precious one of the three kinds of elixir, and it can be used below the yuan baby, and it is said that it can be reborn and become a genius in the sky, so the price of a high-grade myelin washing pill is calculated in thousands of spirit stones, and the elixir used is also very precious, like the heavenly ghost vine and the moon burning milk, Lin Han can't get it.
And the Gathering Spirit Pill is relatively close to the people, generally as long as the cultivator is not too poor, he will bring a little bit with him, which is used to replenish the aura at critical moments, and it can also accelerate the progress of cultivation in ordinary times, which is faster than absorbing the aura by himself. It's good to save time to practice the sword technique or to comprehend the Dao. Because of the different attributes, the Gathering Spirit Pill is divided into Water Spirit Pill Fire Spirit Pill and so on, the last time Huo Ling took Lin Han to the Heavenly Punishment Array to see Ji Biao, he used ten medium-grade Fire Spirit Pills to bribe the guards, which was more effective than the high-grade Spirit Sword. No matter what time it is, the pill is always in short supply of good things.
The demand for the Gathering Spirit Pill is large, the market is also large, and the price is not very expensive, and the medium-grade Gathering Spirit Pill only costs one hundred taels of spirit stones, even if Lin Han refines a lot, it will not be eye-catching, and it can be sold in the sect by Entrusting Huoling, which is a good way to earn spirit stones.
But Lin Han practiced with such an idea all night, but he didn't make any reputation, but polluted the spiritual spring several times, and could only scoop out all the spiritual spring water that had been made a mess by the herbs and pour it out.
By the time Ji Wei had moved the last bit of the Ming Yujian to this cave, Lin Han had already made his fifth attempt.
The flowstone grass and the silver green and gold edge flowers have been almost consumed, and the chalcedony mushroom is only the last one left, if it is not successful this time, you will have to wait until tomorrow to go to Huoling to buy herbs, Lin Han put down the herbs in his hand, ready to rest and relax and try one last time, raised his head and looked at the scene in the cave, and was stunned.
Because Lin Han didn't allow Ji Biao to go down and leave the Tianhe, and he was not allowed to practice for the time being, so when Lin Han tried the art of water refining again and again, Ji Biao, who had nothing to do, moved all the things in Mingyujian one after another, even the huge bathtub was moved, and Lin Han always thought that he didn't like medicinal baths.
After doing this qiē, he sat next to him, waiting for Lin Han to praise him. Obviously such a dangerous and unruly teenager, when he sits quietly like this, he even reminds people of a tamed little beast, although he still has a temperament that is not easy to mess with, but he also looks a little cute.
Although Lin Han was distraught because of the lack of progress in the water refining technique, he couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and stood up to check the things that had been moved. The color of the stone wall in the cave is originally light, reflecting the light of the golden crow ball, illuminating the whole cave bright and warm as day, and the night outside is like ink, and everything is silent, only the sound of the river beating the cliff wall is faintly heard.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the eight words he had written on the reader's autograph - he had never had a chance to use them in the book called "Rebellion", but they were the eight words he longed for.
The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles, and the years are stable.
Ji Biao is already in the condensation period, the good spiritual veins and the spiritual spring are here, the rest is just a matter of time, Xiaoyaojing is still here, he is still here, Ji Biao is also here, there is no immediate danger, there is no desperate situation with no way out, this is the world that he has imagined countless times, and all of them are running according to plan.
There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers waiting for him and Ji Biao to break through, and now the current situation in this small karst cave is also worthy of the four words of years and stability.
What are you still bothering about?
Thinking like this, the mood that was originally very irritable because of the failure of repeated attempts also calmed down, although he was still a little distressed and wasted elixir, but the corners of his mouth were already a little smiling.
Ji Biao didn't know why he was laughing, and was still waiting for praise with a stern face.
Lin Han reached out and touched his head.
Probably because Lin Han at this moment seemed a little different from usual, Ji Biao didn't even hide. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were always so quiet and dark black, with a little coolness, he was also an orphan, but his personality was more calm and stable than Lin Han, maybe this is the legendary protagonist's talent.
The young man's hair is jet black, the hair is very hard, Lin Han remembers that a reader once drew a picture of Ji Biao for himself, probably with charcoal, a few black strokes to outline an arrogant and indifferent silhouette, carrying the Ling Xiao flying sword that has been with him on his back, the reader probably has professional skills, it is obviously a very simple picture, every time Lin Han turns it out to see, but he feels that he can touch the cold, hard and cold Ji Biao inside through the paper.
Later, after a long time of self-referral, that reader also dispersed like other readers who were discouraged.
It's a pity that I can't give them an ending.
At that time, I was living a mess, from life to writing, because I didn't have a family, I didn't have a sense of responsibility and mission, anyway, I kept being decadent, and no one seemed to care......
Now that I think about it, it's like a world away.
Lin Han has always felt that the reason why he came to this world is to give Ji Biao a good ending, to give him an unconditional help to him, to believe in his relatives, and to let him know that there is not only the law of the jungle in this world, not only loneliness and killing, but also a little light and softness.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that it was not him who came to cross Ji Biao, but Ji Biao who came to cross him.
Ji Biao gave him a relative that he would unconditionally help and believe, gave him a goal, a responsibility, something to stick to, like a little sand in a mussel shell, with this small core, it can condense pearls day after day and year after year.
He once thought that a withdrawn person like himself would not have the opportunity to meet any lifelong confidants and best friends in this life, and it would probably be difficult to get married, let alone start a family. His life will probably go on alone, and finally choose a mediocre but stable job and grow old quietly in the crowd.
But he eventually met Ji Biao.
He created Zào, but it was far better than him, close to his ideal Ji Biao.
Compared to this fact, it seems that whether or not you can learn the method of water refining with this last herb, or whether you can learn the method of water refining by tomorrow, really doesn't seem to matter that much. It's a good thing to have a day like today.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his hand.
"You go to sleep first, if you're hungry, there's still food in the gourd, and the roast chicken is cold, I can heat it up for you." ”
Probably because he can't get rid of this bit of mortal popularity in his body, his conversations with Ji Biao are often like chattering parents and children. It's all about whether you're full, warm or not, and sleeping. But none of these three things are necessary for Ji Wei.
"I'm not hungry. Ji Biao dragged out the futon again: "I want to meditate until dawn." ”
"Then you meditate, just don't tear down the cave. ”
After settling Ji Biao, the irritability in Lin Han's original heart had disappeared, and when he sat down cross-legged in front of Lingquan again, his heart was already as calm as water.
He picked up the herb and began one last attempt.
