Chapter 20: Retreat
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan went to the stove room to cook a pot of chicken soup, made a pot of hot tea, and came to the outside of Chen Lieri's Cave Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Master, the disciple has come to say hello. Are you getting old? I made you a pot of chicken soup. ”
It's not that Zhao Xuan really respects Chen Lieri, on the one hand, to see if he can hear something, and on the other hand, to reduce Chen Lieri's attention to himself and get greater freedom.
"Oh, get up early in the morning and don't go to practice, go to the stove room to boil chicken soup, you have a heart, put it down. Work hard to practice the exercises that your teacher gave you, you know? The voice coming from inside was naturally Chen Lieri.
During this time, Chen Lieri knew Zhao Xuan's every move. In a few days, he will start to assist Chen Haoyue in recovery, and there will not be so much time in the future, so he can only let Chen Haoyue's puppet monitor it.
"Well, in the past few days, the disciples have been figuring out the exercises given by the master, and after a few days they will figure it out and start practicing." Zhao Xuan replied obediently and put the chicken soup and hot tea in front of the cave.
"You can comprehend it in the past two days, and if you come back in three days, I will explain it to you."
Zhao Xuan saluted, went down the mountain, and returned to his residence.
took out the exercises given by Chen Lieri and looked through them. The exercise is called Mu Chun Gong, and there are nine layers, the first three layers are the forging body realm, the middle three layers are the aura realm, and the last three layers are the liquid realm.
Zhao Xuan has a decision to enlighten the sky, and he definitely won't practice this Mu Chungong, let alone the exercise given by Chen Lieri.
Because of Baisha and Qitian Bell, the transmission of the aura realm perception, the first six layers of less than half a day, all of them were understood, even the last three layers also understood seven, seven, eight, eight.
This Mu Chungong mainly focuses on physical maintenance, and basically has no combat effectiveness. To put it clearly, it is to maintain the virgin body, lock the essence tightly, minimize the dirt in the body, and keep the meridians unobstructed.
The advantage of this is that it is conducive to re-practicing the exercises, and of course, it is also conducive to shortening the adaptation period to the greatest extent after being taken away.
How did Chen Lieri know that in the inheritance of Qitian Bell, there is a technique for cultivating the body after taking it, and Zhao Xuan has already read it several times. I don't know how many times better than this Mu Chungong, and Zhao Xuan also confirmed Chen Lieri's bad conspiracy once again from here.
In the next two days, Zhao Xuan still got up early, made breakfast, made hot tea, and went to Chen Lieri Cave Mansion to ask for peace.
It wasn't until three days later that Zhao Xuan came to the outside of Chen Lieri's Cave Mansion again, and before Zhao Xuan could speak, he saw a jade slip flying in front of him from the Cave Mansion. Then Chen Lieri talked about Mu Chungong from the first layer of the forging body realm to the late stage of the ninth layer of the liquid realm, and asked Zhao Xuan some questions before stopping.
"The teacher is going to retreat this time, and it is estimated that the time will not be short. If there is anything in the future, you can ask the other people in the sect more, and when you reach the Chengye Realm, you will come to me again! Finally, Chen Lieri said slowly to Zhao Xuan.
"Huh?! Master, are you going into retreat? When I reach the realm of liquid, it will take two or three years, doesn't that mean that I can't listen to your teachings for two or three years? Zhao Xuan shouted in surprise, but in fact, his heart was a mess of excitement.
"Hehe, you idiot, cultivator, it's common to retreat for a few years at a time, don't be that little kid and lose your identity as a teacher for nothing. Forget it, you can take all these things, and during the retreat for the teacher, don't go out of the sect and practice hard. "After that, hundreds of Hui Yuan Dan and lower grade spirit crystals came to Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan rubbed his eyes, carefully put Hui Yuan Dan and Lingjing into the storage bag, rubbed his eyes, and then got up to leave. One step at a time, it took a long time to leave Nebula Peak.
"Hey, this kid has a heart, the more I look at it, the more I like it!" Chen Lieri sat in the cave, and his divine sense wiped Zhao Xuan's tears "secretly", and he reluctantly left, seeing it clearly.
"What? Reluctant? Haha......"
……
Although Chen Lieri said that he wanted to retreat and had no time to take care of himself, Zhao Xuan still felt that he should be careful. In the sect, I always feel that there is still a pair of eyes staring at me, and I disappeared when I entered the cave. And those eyes are very familiar, but they are definitely not Chen Lieri.
Early in the morning, Zhao Xuan picked the ripe and immature flowers and plants in the medicine garden and came to the Treasure Pavilion.
Early in the morning, there was no one to find a deacon who said that he wanted to hand over the herbs to see how many spirit stones and contribution points he could exchange.
The middle-aged deacon said with a bitter face, "I said, Uncle Xiao, you are a little embarrassed for me." Many of the ones you brought were used to decorate the landscape, and only some of them were herbs needed for alchemy. You see? ”
Dressed up for the landscape? Uh, it looks good and smells good. Well, it's a shame.
Zhao Xuan directly threw away all the flowers and plants that were not medicinal herbs, leaving only those medicinal herbs, believing that the deacon would not lie to himself.
"Uncle Junior, do you think this will work? I'll give you twenty pins of spirit crystals, one hundred contribution points, how about it? ”
Zhao Xuan didn't answer, but asked, "Lord Deacon, can you get me the seeds of these dozens of medicinal herbs?" ”
Seeing Zhao Xuan take out a list and densely write seventy or eighty kinds of medicinal herbs, the deacon was startled. After reading the content clearly, I was greatly relieved.
"Uncle Junior, I'll tell you the truth, there are about sixty kinds of medicinal herbs here, and I have them now. The other dozen or so are more expensive, and it will take a few days to get them together according to the amount you require. As for the last five, you need to go to Chenxing City to purchase them. Uncle Junior, what do you want these seeds for? The middle-aged deacon asked curiously.
Zhao Xuan let out a long sigh, "I don't know what to do!" It was all given to me by the master and his old man, and he said that he would have to check it after the retreat, and I still can't do it! By the way, I still have to get some herbs, I have to memorize it."
Where would Chen Lieri have such an arrangement, but others don't know! Anyway, you're in retreat, and you have to help me carry a black pot and cover for some things, and the right is to collect interest.
As soon as the deacon heard that it was arranged by Chen Lieri, he didn't inquire anymore, and it was better not to get involved in the affairs of other people's masters and apprentices.
Next, Zhao Xuan crossed out all the remaining contribution points, plus seventy lower-grade spirit crystals and sixty Huiyuan Pills, to make up for the expenses required for all the herb seeds on the list. I went to the Treasure Pavilion again, copied a copy of the herb encyclopedia, a copy of the alchemy foundation, spent all the Hui Yuan Dan and spirit crystals, and returned to my residence.
Just the next day, the deacon sent someone to deliver all the seeds to Zhao Xuan's hands, and the speed of the work was still very fast.
Zhao Xuan went to the Treasure Pavilion to invite Wang Chong, and asked a late stage elder of the Liquid Realm to help, and arranged a magic circle in the inner and outer medicine gardens to hide the medicine garden. Unless it is in the late stage of the Zhudan Realm and breaks through the magic circle to check, no one knows what is going on inside.
Of course, Zhao Xuan spent a year on all the contribution points and spirit crystal supply, half a year for the Huiyuan Dan and Bigu Dan. These were all advanced through Wang Shun from the Law Enforcement Cabinet.
The five-flowered tree has three seeds, and it takes a year and a half to flower and bear fruit; Ten seeds of winter vermilion grass can mature in half a year; Ten seeds of silver moon grass, which take eight months to mature; Ten seeds of blood grass are returned, which mature in one year; Huang Lingguo has three seeds, which can only bloom and bear fruit in one year; Hemophorea ......
More than eighty kinds of elixir seeds, Zhao Xuan compared them to the herbs, recognized them one by one, and then buried them in different places according to different growth requirements.
It took five days to pound it all. These were all low-level herbs, and they were all the herbs that Zhao Xuan could use before he was an alchemist. If these herbs are used up, it is expected that they should be able to enter the alchemist realm, and then the Red Soul Pill can be refined.
After that, Zhao Xuan's door was closed and he began his retreat. In this regard, no one in Xingyun Gate said anything, except for Wang Shun who came to take a look at it at the beginning, and no one bothered after that.
A month later, Zhao Xuan was in the cave mansion, carefully watching the seeds of the blood grass. The blood grass has already sprouted, and it is estimated that it will stick out of the soil in another month, but Zhao Xuan still feels that it is a little slow, but there is nothing he can do.
"The growth of spiritual grass needs the absorption of spiritual energy, and I already have enough spiritual energy here, this is really not in a hurry!" After thinking about it, he took out those small spirit crystal particles from the ring, and put seven or eight next to each seed, so he didn't care about it.
Every day, he is familiar with the five basic aura realm skills, and even insists on practicing the Body Forging Fist and Ghost Step several times. Now Zhao Xuan doesn't have any fighting skills, but he is not too worried, the aura realm basically has no ability, and the magic technique will be gone in a few breaths as soon as the yuan power is released.
Then it is to participate in the enlightenment of the Heavenly Decision over and over again, because of its own situation, so it cannot be completely practiced according to the Qitian Decision, and can only be slightly changed on the basis of the Qitian Decision. This is a huge difficulty, and you have to be careful.
After that, I looked through the encyclopedia of herbs, and carefully memorized the names of the herbs, their characteristics, the growth environment, and what they looked like.
After half a year like this, Zhao Xuan put down the last page of the herb introduction, and let out a long breath, it's really not easy to think about alchemy!
Shaking his head, he got up and came to the two medicine gardens, and was stunned for a moment, and then there was a thick surprise.
I saw that the garden was full of medicinal herbs, except for a few fruit trees that had not yet borne fruit, the other medicinal herbs had already entered the maturity stage, and the situation was even better than the situation in the introduction.
"Could it be the effect of the little spirit crystal?" After examining the herbs, there was a lot of doubt. There must be a reason why the herb has matured from one year to half a year now.
Picking up the soil, sure enough, those spirit crystals have disappeared, and the soil at the root of the herb is much stronger than before.
Since he got the piles of spirit crystals, Zhao Xuan tried to absorb and refine them many times, but found that it was very difficult, far less easy than the inferior spirit crystals, and the effect was not as good as directly absorbing the spirit qi, so he gave up.
If it can really speed up the growth of the herb, then it is also a good use.
In order to verify his conjecture, after picking the ripe herbs, he took the seeds and buried them in the same place, and placed more than a dozen small spirit crystals around the seeds.
