Chapter 34 The first layer of qi refining
At the same time that Lao Gu took over Renshutang, he also accepted the employees left by Ma Yuanfei.
Now that Renshutang has changed its signboard and become Miaoshou Hall, these new employees of Miaoshutang have naturally never seen Lin Dong, the invisible boss.
Seeing that Boss Gu was so enthusiastic about a young man, they couldn't help but look curiously at Lin Dong, who had entered the inner hall with Lao Gu.
When the two of them walked away, everyone gathered together and exchanged ears, all of them guessing the origin of this young descendant.
Here, the two came to a large gate in the inner hall.
Lao Gu took out a string of copper quaint keys and opened the door, and in an instant, a strong smell of medicinal herbs came to his face.
Lin Dong shrugged his nose, his face showing joy.
The art of traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, inquiring, smelling the fragrance of medicine and knowing medicinal materials, which can also be regarded as a professional skill. Through the fragrance of the medicinal herbs, Lin Dong was very sure that Lao Gu was not bragging, this batch of medicinal materials did have some years, and if they were used to boil medicinal liquids, they might be able to successfully break through to the first level of qi refining.
Seeing Lin Dong's expression, Lao Gu couldn't help but say proudly: "How is it?" You're still satisfied this time, right? Almost all of these medicinal materials are ten years old. I guess you'll be interested, so I took it all! ”
"Haha, Lao Gu, you have a heart, this is exactly the medicinal herb I need! I don't know the price of this batch of medicinal materials......" Lin Dong wanted to speak and stopped.
"Come on, come on, it's all my own family, I can't do it for you to earn your share!"
Lao Gu waved his hand and said lightly: "You are also a shareholder of my 'Miaoshou Tang', this batch of medicinal materials will go according to the purchase price, and it will be deducted from your quarterly dividends when you turn around, you just need to use it!" In fact, this batch of medicinal materials is mainly difficult to collect in the year, and the money is not too much. ”
Seeing this, Lin Dong thought in his heart that this was also the reason, and he was happy to accept it.
He counted the batch of medicinal materials in the medicine storehouse, which could be divided into three parts to make a medicinal bath, and then asked, "Old Gu, do you have a quiet room here?" It's best to have a large container where you can take a bath! ”
"You still know about medicated baths?"
As an old Chinese medicine practitioner, Lao Gu understood the purpose of these medicinal materials as soon as he heard it, and asked in surprise.
But he soon felt relieved, because didn't Lin Dong say that his ancestor used to be the imperial doctor in the palace? Besides, this kid had taken out two precious prescriptions to sell before, and he also used the long-lost Yin and Yang hand to treat incurable diseases in the last fight with Ma Yuanfei. Now that he knew how to take a medicinal bath, it was no surprise that Lao Gu suddenly felt that he was not surprised.
Subsequently, Lao Gu took Lin Dong to a low bungalow on the west side of Miaoshou Hall and introduced: "This is the room where our 'Miaoshou Hall' conducts fumigation therapy, which is relatively remote and quiet. Usually no one will bother, so it should be appropriate. ”
Entering the bungalow, Lin Dong took a look, the room was not big, and the furniture inside was only a bed and a large wooden barrel, which was covered by a screen in the middle.
"Okay, that's it!"
After Lin Dong chose this place, he asked Lao Gu to arrange for someone to take the medicinal materials he had divided to the decoction pharmacy for boiling.
After boiling for four hours, the medicinal soup was finally boiled.
Lin Dong took the medicinal soup and entered the bungalow, and then asked someone to bring a basin of boiling water, mixed with the medicinal liquid and poured it into the wooden barrel.
The water vapor mixed with the light fragrance overflowed in the room, and Lao Gu stood at the door of the bungalow and sniffed it intoxicatedly, and praised it sincerely: "The taste is so good, but why do I smell this medicine a little strong?" ”
He also wanted to come in and smell it carefully, and by the way, observe how Lin Dong took a medicinal bath, but unexpectedly, Lin Dong hurriedly stopped his behavior and said, "Old Gu, don't come in, you can't afford the medicinal power of the bone erosion soup!" ”
Bone broth?
Lao Gu was stunned when he heard this, and he knew the domineering nature of this medicine just by hearing the name.
He knew that Lin Dong, this kid, was definitely not a person who hid his secrets, let alone an untargeted person, so he followed Lin Dong's advice and stopped outside the bungalow.
Crunch crunch ~ bang!
Lin Dong slowly closed the door of the bungalow and locked himself alone in the medicinal bath.
Old Gu glanced at the door worriedly, but he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and then moved a chair and sat less than ten steps away from the bungalow to rest.
In the medicinal bathhouse, it was already steaming and the fragrance of medicine was overflowing.
Lin Dong took off his clothes and pants and stared at the big wooden barrel with burning eyes.
The so-called bone broth, as the name suggests, ** bone erosion.
This is a medicinal bath that can only be used at the beginning of qi refining, and the medicinal power is extremely domineering, and it has the ability to erode bones. But Elder Xuan said that in order to achieve a strong body, this step is a step that all monks must go through.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, urging the aura in his body to spread all over his body, and after doing a good job of high temperature protection, he jumped into the barrel with a "poof".
When the medicinal power entered his body, Lin Dong felt a burst of muscles and cartilage, barely maintaining a cross-legged sitting posture, and the operation of the Heaven Swallowing Technique began to violently absorb the medicinal power of the barrel.
Soon, the barrel of medicinal liquid had no wind and waves, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a whirlpool revolving around Lin Dong, and every time it rotated, part of the pure medicinal power was swallowed and inhaled by Lin Dong.
And Lin Dong, who was sitting in the medicine barrel, had a hideous face, as if he was enduring extraordinary pain. His skin was bright red as blood, and the green tendons on his whole body were prominent, like long cyan worms entwined.
An hour......
Two hours......
Three hours......
Finally, the liquid in the wooden barrel slowly began to thin out, and a trace of black dirt slowly seeped out of Lin Dong's pores, and the whole bucket of water was as black as if it had been filled with ink, and at the same time emitted a disgusting stench.
Immediately after, Lin Dong opened his eyes suddenly, and a trace of clear light burst out from his eyes. His body pulled and pulled, and the sound of crackling like firecrackers resounded all over his body.
This is precisely the temporary lack of mastery of the surging aura after the advancement, revealing the appearance of the outside of the body.
Lin Dong's face showed ecstasy, and finally all three pulses were connected, his cultivation was successful, and he had entered the first layer of qi refining!
Sou~~
Lin Dong popped out of the bucket, bringing out a slight splash.
And his body actually violated the rules of gravity and slowly fell to the ground like a goose feather.
"Hahaha...... Three years into the gas refining period? The emperor lives up to his hard work, why do I need three years? ”
A burst of happy laughter came out of Lin Dong's mouth.
"Good boy, crazy and exposed! But I like it, haha~~"
Xuan Lao's voice sounded at the right time, and he said with some relief: "From now on, you have truly embarked on a journey of cultivation!" ”
"Thank you Elder Xuan, if I didn't get old with you, I would just be a nameless boy who was bullied in my life!" Lin Dong was quite emotional, and he was grateful for the first time.
"Less verbose, where is it now? It's just one layer of Qi refining! ”
After Xuan Lao poured a basin of cold water on Lin Dong just right, he couldn't help but urge: "Although the first layer of Qi refining is a slight end, it is a watershed between monks and mortals. Good boy, how about trying this low-level cultivator of the first level of Qi refining? ”
In the cultivation realm, the fundamental difference between mortals and monks is that monks can swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn it into their own use.
Therefore, once you enter the first layer of qi refining, it means that you have entered the threshold of cultivation, although it is not possible to avoid the exhaustion of yang longevity and escape the cycle of life and death, but at least you have the opportunity to shine with the sun and the moon and compete for life with heaven and earth.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that after entering the first stage of qi refining, it is said that the mortal fetus has faded.
"Okay!"
Lin Dong responded excitedly, and lightly punched, unexpectedly letting out a heavy roar that tore through the air.
He felt that not only was his strength doubled, but his physical strength had also increased a lot, reaching the level of his body, although the defense against sharp weapons might not be considered good, but if something like a stick or steel pipe hit him again, it would be difficult to make him hurt again.
"Stupid, it's really a waste of time to be called a monk by still punching and kicking here at this time."
Xuan Lao said with a slight anger: "At this time, you are more concerned about the spiritual power in your body, because the art of spells is your foundation, and fist and foot kung fu is just a martial arts skill, just a skin!" If you don't have a strong spiritual power to back you up, how can you cast a spell? ”
Lin Dong slapped his forehead, extremely embarrassed, obviously he was really happy just now, and forgot to get down to business.
Immediately, he used his fingers to quickly draw a talisman in the palm of his hand, and a mantra quickly took shape, and then gently slapped it on his chest.
Call~
His face was refreshed, and he felt the change in the mantra.
Gan Lin mantra, there is a disease to heal, there is no disease to nourish the body.
In the past, once the Ganlin Mantra was cast, it was only slightly cool, but now the Ganlin Mantra can make him feel cool in his heart, and there is an indescribable comfort and smoothness all over his body.
Then, he drew a thunder talisman on the palm of his hand, and then sacrificed it, and the void slapped out......
Zizizi~~
Under the flash of thunder, a lightning bolt like a thin wire broke through the air and slashed on the ground. Suddenly, a blackened mark appeared on the ground.
"Holy!"
Seeing this power, Lin Dong almost jumped up without joy.
In the past, the thunder talisman was at most a flash of strong light, and there would be no real thunder and lightning landscape at all, at most, it could only make people paralyzed for a while.
And now, this thunder talisman seems to have the ability to damage.
Golden Armor Talisman...
Evil charms...
Divine Talisman...
Tianmu Fu...
Lin Dong tried them one by one, and these low-level charms were all enhanced to varying degrees.
Moreover, after casting such a series of spells, Lin Dong exhausted the spiritual power in his body.
What does this mean?
It shows that after entering the first layer of qi refining, the spiritual power in the body has improved by leaps and bounds, and there has been a qualitative and quantitative transformation.
If the spiritual energy in his body was so pitiful and weak that it was only a pond-sized storage energy before, then now, the spiritual energy in his body is like a small stream flowing in the meridians, at least it can allow him to continuously cast this series of spells before exhausting the spiritual power in his body.
What's more, once these spells are cast, they are far more powerful than before.
Lin Dong feels super good now, his fists are constantly rubbing, and he said confidently: "Hehe, if I am asked to fight Du Tianyang again now, I dare to guarantee that he will definitely be able to lose a mess, and he won't even know him fuckingly!" ”
"Phew! Look at your little bit of talent! ”
Xuan Lao said unhappily in his mind: "You are also a monk at the first level of Qi refining, why do you want to compete with that kind of beginner martial artist?" You're so embarrassed by my Fu Doctor's Sect. Moreover, the first layer of gas refining is only the initial stage of the gas refining period, and there are also middle and late stages after that. Don't look at the basic spells, they don't seem to be strong at the beginning, but they can advance with your strength. Hehe, after you build the foundation, you can use more powerful five-element charms with the help of basic spell combinations, and then you can run rampant in the world! ”
"Once you enter the foundation building period, you can run rampant in the world?"
Lin Dong slowly calmed down in Xuan Lao's words, and then asked suspiciously: "Xuan Lao, during the foundation building period, I can run rampant in the world, can't guns, ammunition, rockets, howitzers, or anything pose a threat to me?" ”
"Uh, that's it......"
