Chapter 537: Pill (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The vast mountains are very quiet and elegant.
However, when Qi Xiang walked into the wide valley, he was surprised to see that in this inaccessible place, there was a lively and prosperous market.
It's just that this bazaar is relatively simple.
The shacks, scattered and scattered, are mostly made of bamboo cloth. In addition, there are some mud tile buildings, which are distributed on the mountainside, which are quite conspicuous.
Dozens of stalls, plus a few rooms, form a most primitive trading market. As for the things traded, most of them are naturally medicinal herbs.
As soon as he came in, Qi Xiang smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. However, when he actually entered it, he was surprised to find that although the things traded in the bazaar included medicinal materials, they were not limited to medicinal materials.
In addition, there are some scattered swords, talismans, cinnabar and other things. Miscellaneous, and so on.
But the most lively are a few mud houses.
Qi Xiang could also see clearly that those rooms were the most lively inside and outside.
Gangs of people, in groups, went in and out of the house. Many people entered the house in anticipation. But when they came out, some people were smiling, but some were dejected......
"What's going on?" Qi Xiang couldn't help but ask.
Jun Buyi explained softly: "That's the so-called Dan room, and there is a Dan master in it. Some Dan masters are free, so they bring some pills over......"
"Selling pills?" Qi Xiang was a little stunned.
"It's not for sale." Jun Bu hurriedly shook his head: "It's an exchange ......"
"Swap?" Qi Xiang was stunned and a little puzzled: "How to exchange?" ”
"Danshi is not bad for money, they are not interested in gold, silver, pearl and jade cash."
Jun Bucheng explained: "The only things that can impress them are rare medicinal materials, heavenly and earthly treasures, and the like. Therefore, if you want to ask for the pill, you can only collect these things with all your heart. Take it to exchange it with Danshi. ”
"These things, if there is a Dan Master who is interested and can look at them, he will take the pill of equal value and trade it."
Jun Bu said softly: "At the beginning, it was actually just a personal act. The main reason is that when some Dan masters participated in the Dan meeting, they suddenly wanted to refine a furnace of Dan, but found that there was a lack of medicinal materials, so they thought of this exchange method. ”
"Later, there were pills in the process of exchange. Many rare medicinal materials have been harvested repeatedly. This naturally led to the imitation of other Dan masters, and over time it gradually formed a practice. ”
Jun said eloquently: "So before the start of the Dan Meeting, there was a market like this one born. ”
"I see......"
Qi Xiang nodded slightly, and felt normal. After all, if there is a demand for everything, there will naturally be a market. Even if you are a cultivator, before you become an immortal, there will be no exceptions.
"Master, this is actually an opportunity." Jun lived up to the burning meaning of his eyes: "There are some Dan masters, in order to get some kind of elixir. Bounty missions will also be actively posted. ”
"Bounty mission?"
As soon as Qi Xiang heard it, he immediately understood.
For example, if there is a Danshi who needs Biluo incense knot, then directly post a notice. It means to exchange the elixir. I'm afraid that the people who have the Biluo incense knot in hand will definitely rush to be the first.
"That's a good idea......"
Qi Xiang smiled, then turned his head and said, "The problem is. I'm not a Danshi. ”
"Uh......"
Jun was stunned, and instantly understood Qi Xiang's off-string sound. Qi Xiang's identity as a Dan Master is only clear to him. He must be very convinced, but others don't know, and he can't control their suspicions.
If Qi Xiang wants to confirm his identity as a Dan master, it is estimated that he will only reach the point where everyone knows about it when he shines at the Dan meeting. Otherwise, there is no basis for words, and who dares to believe it easily.
Of course, if Qi Xiang directly took out the elixir and said that he wanted to change the Biluo incense knot, the effect would be the same.
The problem is, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, where does he get the elixir now?
Therefore, this matter is not urgent.
Qi Xiang said with relief: "Biluo incense knot, as long as there is one, it will definitely be there." You don't have to rush, just bear with it for a few more days......"
"Understood!"
You don't have to settle down, so I want to continue to introduce some information about the bazaar.
Suddenly, at this moment, an uproar came from the side.
"What's the situation?"
Qi Xiang couldn't help but look, only to see that in the corner of the valley, there was suddenly a group of people, surrounded by water, not knowing what was going on inside, causing such a big movement.
"Go see ......"
Qi Xiang proposed, Jun did not live up to it, and naturally would not object.
At that moment, the two of them, like everyone else, slowly rushed towards the corner with a bit of curiosity. However, even if they rushed over, there were too many people to see the situation inside.
Moreover, the crowded scene also made Qi Xiang unhappy.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know ......"
"Let me in......"
All of a sudden, all kinds of noisy and noisy voices came and went.
It should be noted that there are absolutely no ordinary people in the real sense who can appear here. No matter how bad his skills are, he is a good fighter who has practiced martial arts for several years and can fight and kill.
Therefore, under the squeeze, it is inevitable to fight openly and secretly.
Limb collision, dusty ......
However, an individual also had some scruples and did not fight on the spot. However, under your comings and goings, the scene is somewhat chaotic.
Qi Xiang prefers to be quiet, and when he saw that the scene was in danger of getting out of control, he immediately beckoned Jun to bear it and slowly retreated.
After retreating for some distance, Qi Xiang felt a slip under his feet, as if he had stepped on a round thing. He looked down and saw that it was a bamboo.
The long bamboo pole should be built by someone who built a shed, and the extra things were thrown aside.
Seeing the bamboo pole, Qi Xiang's heart moved, he picked up his toes, lifted the bamboo pole, and then gently everything, so that the long bamboo pole became two in an instant.
Poof, poof!
Qi Xiang poked casually, and two bamboo poles stood apart. Then he jumped slightly, and floated up, like a dragonfly touching water, stepping on the tip of the bamboo pole with one foot, and watched condescendingly.
"Huh!"
You live up to it, and you immediately understand. Then float up another bamboo pole.
The actions of the two are undoubtedly outstanding and eye-catching.
When others saw it, they secretly scolded themselves for being stupid, and then naturally they did the same. If there is a bamboo pole, look for a bamboo pole, and if there is no bamboo pole, go to find a wooden stick and stone, anyway, in an instant, in the valley, there are many plum blossom "piles".
However, at a time when many people are looking for "the foundation of their lives". Qi Xiang also saw clearly, in the center of the crowd that was impassable and circled, it was an unexpected scene.
I saw that in the center of the crowd, someone pulled up a cordon, and a circle of twenty or thirty square meters was vacated.
In the circle, there are several people, as well as a Dan furnace.
At first glance, Jun lived up to the shock in his heart. couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Master, it seems that someone is alchemizing." ”
"Alchemy?"
Qi Xiang frowned, puzzled: "Alchemy in this unkempt situation, are you looking for death?" ”
He has practiced Dan. Nature knows the difficulty of alchemy.
Not only do you need enough herbs, but you also need a quiet environment to avoid distraction. Can't control the heat. If you are distracted, there is a deviation in the heat, and the alchemy will definitely fail. Maybe even the Dan furnace will burst.
As soon as it was blown up, the crowd of onlookers, eight out of ten, was all finished.
"No, no, no......"
Jun lived up to his inspiration, seemed to know what was going on, and hurriedly explained: "Master, you misunderstood, this is not refining the elixir, but refining the pill. ”
"Pills!"
Qi Xiang was stunned, and immediately understood.
You know, in the eyes of the monks, Dan and Pill are completely different concepts.
Dan refers to the elixir.
Refined from precious medicinal herbs, after a series of complex transformations, Dan is formed.
Dan completely retains the essence of medicinal materials, and after superimposing, the effect of one plus one is definitely far greater than two. Moreover, it can allow monks to easily absorb and refine and use it for their own use to improve their cultivation.
To put it bluntly, Dan is the crystallization of energy obtained after the material of the medicine changes.
And pills are nothing more than the purification of medicine. After the medicinal herbs are purified, they can be easily absorbed and easily refined. However, one is one, and it is absolutely impossible to be greater than two.
So, Dan and Maru, that's a world of difference. Phrases can be juxtaposed, but substance cannot be compared.
However, refining pills, that is the foundation of alchemy, and it is also the link to get started.
Now, there are people refining pills on the spot, I don't know if it is for the limelight or for some other purpose.
After all, in the midst of the scene, there is also the existence of Danshi. If that person refining pills displayed his talent in the process of refining, he might be able to attract the attention of the Dan Master.
Of course, if you can make Danshi move the idea of accepting apprentices, it will naturally be a matter of undesirable and lucky.
Qi Xiang speculated in his heart, and also sighed a little.
This person, once he has selfish thoughts, no matter what he does, he becomes impure.
Even in the cultivation world, even if the purpose of cultivation is to transcend. But in the process of detachment, he had to crawl and roll in the red dust.
Those who are determined and resolute regard the red dust as experience and sharpen their own hearts. No matter how the red dust is impregnated, the thoughts are very pure and accessible, so there is still a chance for detachment.
But some people have lost their nature in the red dust and like the feeling of rolling in the red dust. I think I am detached, but in fact I am just a complete sinking.
Mao Sui recommended himself, which is understandable. However, the mud house is nearby, and there is a Danshi in charge, so you can go to ask for advice in private.
Qi Xiang believes that every Danshi may not be selfish people, as long as they find good seedlings, they are also willing to reach out and support them, so as to inherit their mantle.
The older the Dan Master is, the more experienced he is, and the easier it is to be trusted by everyone. Therefore, when accepting apprentices, I never have to worry about the disciples starving to death of the master.
However, refining pills on the spot will inevitably be a little suspicious of showing off.
With bad motives and impure minds, which Dan master is a fool and can't see it?
Therefore, preconceived ideas will first have a bad impression, even if in the process of refining medicine, showing extraordinary talent, it may not be able to eliminate the influence......
Participate in the annual meeting, there is only one chapter, forgive me. (To be continued.) )
