373, jade dragon smoke, snowflake wood dew into beads
Although Cheng Tianle collected a lot, most of them came from places that were difficult for other monks to take or think of, and they did not interfere with the opportunities of others. As long as there is a place where the pine grows, there will be mutated pine needles every year, and if it is a coincidence, it will form a cold needle cui after a hundred years, that is to say, every year there will be a new cold needle cui in the mountains I don't know where, or buried forever or to be taken by future generations.
When the two of them changed into new clothes and left the western part of the mountain () to go south, Sheng Long's height seemed to have grown a little taller, but the person was obviously thin, and he was tired and thin. The human form of the demon cultivator is not the original body, but a change, and it is incredible that the human form of the demon cultivator can be tired and thin, and I have never even heard of it! As the saying goes, the change in the appearance of the demon cultivator will inevitably be accompanied by the change of mood and form and spirit, so the hard work that Sheng Long has put in in these two months can be imagined, and it is also a hard cultivation unconsciously.
If you want to do this, you don't have to be driven by people, but you have to consciously and voluntarily devote yourself to it, just like some kind of spiritual wish is finally fulfilled. If another monk could also drive a spirit beast like the Golden Thread Rat to cultivate, it would not be possible to do it as well as Cheng Tianle and Sheng Long. If the Golden Thread Rat had to do it under the drive, it would never have worked so hard, and if it was forced too hard, it would easily hurt its original talent; Cheng Tianle didn't push Sheng Long at all, but persuaded him not to be too involved every day.
They walked south in their new shoes, and performed their magic in the suburbs where no one was around. The so-called divine movement is a floating step, which seems to be normal, but in fact it is extremely fast. Twist braid once told Cheng Tianle the trick of "the big piece of the world", and the so-called magic technique is the application of this method. It's not just for traveling. Trekking through mountains and rivers, climbing cliffs as usual, and walking like mountains and rivers moving, is the essence of Shenxing.
During the two days that Cheng Tianle was a guest in Taihang Cave, he also exchanged cultivation experiences with the disciples of the Heluo Sect. On that day, Liu Wenhan once performed a mana technique to enter the ground, trying to pull the mountains and rivers to restrain Liu Yanghe, which was the secret method that the disciples of the Heluo faction were best at. Seeing the five-colored earth-paved squares and road houses in the Taihang Cave, Cheng Tianle also understood why they were good at this kind of spell. Because the cultivation environment is excellent.
The entire Dongtian building and road are almost connected as a whole, which is especially conducive to the cultivation of the secret art of mana under the feet, so when Cheng Tianle communicates with the disciples of the Heluo Sect. He also has a lot of experience in the law of God. In addition to collecting medicine in Taihang Mountain, Cheng Tianle was also practicing similar secret techniques, so he taught Sheng Long the magic and his own perceptions. At this moment, it can be regarded as learning and use. Sheng Long was quite interested in this divine method, and preferred to walk to consolidate the realm he had just comprehended.
Sheng Long's harvest is more than that, after this tempering in the Taihang Mountains, unconsciously, his current realm has been sufficient, and it may cause the wind and evil calamity at any time, just look at when this opportunity and calamity will come? Of course, Cheng Tianle also saw this, so they did not go back to Suzhou, but crossed the Yellow River to the south and marched thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain.
What are they doing in Dabie Mountain? On the one hand, Cheng Tianle wants Sheng Long to have more insights during the trip, and on the other hand, he also strikes while the iron is hot. Go and collect another elixir "Jade Dragon Smoke" on Lu Wu Shenlun Dan Fang. Among the eighteen elixirs contained in the Danfang, only two of them are mainly produced and the methods of collection and adoption are introduced in detail, one of which is the jade dragon smoke, which has been produced in the Dabie Mountains since ancient times.
Cheng Tianle wanted to take the Jade Dragon Smoke, mainly because he knew where it was and how to collect it. It's not a whim; It is because the formation principle and collection method of this elixir are very similar to those of the cold needle cui, and the existing experience in Taihang Mountain can be used for reference and play.
The name of the jade dragon smoke is very vivid, it is a smoke-like white mist that drifts through the cloud-shrouded mountains all year round, like the jade dragon turning into smoke sneaking. Ordinary people can't tell or notice it when they see it, because it appears in the mountains that are covered with clouds all year round, and its form is almost indistinguishable from the clouds. Only the monk can perceive its unique physical properties. It is condensed and collected by a special ingestion method, and finally turned into a slightly milky white transparent droplet.
Monks usually use this method to collect jade dragon smoke, which requires luck and waits in a dangerous environment. When using the jade dragon smoke, you can use mana refining to make it turn into smoke again, this thing can refine the form, promote people's vitality and vitality, and have the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan. For example, when the monk survives the robbery, if there is enough jade dragon smoke to help, the risk will be much smaller, so the droplet-shaped jade dragon smoke is also called "refining dragon marrow".
There are other uses of this elixir, such as using mana into the spiritual spring to make jade dragon dew drink, which can be taken by ordinary people, and has the effect of calming the nerves and purifying the body, detoxifying and nourishing the skin. If the monk takes it before the sitting, it will be more effective. The predecessor who left the magic trick in the stone beaver statue should have studied the jade dragon smoke in particular, and introduced the formation process of this object in great detail.
Between the peaks of the deep mountains of Dabie grows a kind of snowflake dragon tree, which is also found in other places, the texture is hard and delicate, and it can burn a special kind of precious white charcoal. This kind of tree grows very slowly, even if it is a hundred years, it can only grow to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and after successive generations of felling, there are very few plains or hilly areas now, but there are still a lot of them in the inaccessible places in the deep mountains, and those who cut wood and burn charcoal cannot find there.
If the snowflake dragon tree grows at a certain altitude and is cloudy all year round, the temperature and light environment meet certain conditions, and its trunk will secrete a white translucent resin like mold, which slowly oozes and drips to the ground at the knots of the branches. Amber tends to form if the resin is buried in the ground under certain conditions, but this resin does not, it will slowly decompose in the soil, gradually shrink and disappear.
However, some of the larger resin clumps do not disappear completely, and eventually shrink into beads the size of the belly of the thumb. This kind of bead is not stable, and after a certain number of years, it will naturally decompose and turn into a white smoke coming out of the ground, which is the jade dragon smoke. Therefore, the best way to collect Jade Dragon Smoke is not to use mana to collect the occasional mist, but to directly look for this resin bead in the soil and the cracks of the mountain rock.
This kind of bead is refined with mana, and it will turn into jade dragon smoke, and then use mana to collect the smoke and become a droplet, which is what the monk called refining dragon marrow. But this kind of bead is unstable, and I don't know when it will turn into smoke, so the senior left a special technique in the Danfang, which can be used to seal the bead with mana to keep it from changing for a while, and then go to normal refining and take it when it is time to use it.

Dabie Mountain lies at the junction of Anhui, Hubei and Hehe, stretching for more than 700 miles from east to west, and is the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Huai River. There are three main peaks of Dabie Mountain, respectively called 'Baimajian', 'Cloudy Peak', 'Tianhejian', the topography is complex, it is divided by many faults, and the mountain cliffs are dense and very steep. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Taibai once sighed when he visited this mountain: "The south of the mountain is full of flowers, and the north of the mountain is covered with snow, and this mountain is very different from other mountains." It is said that this is also one of the origins of the name of Dabie Mountain.
Cheng Tianle took Sheng Long to the destination between the cloudy tip and the Tianhe tip, this area is not like the White Horse Tip side has undergone more mature tourism development, so there are few tourists, and there is no one in the deep mountains. The terrain gradually rose and the clouds and mist gradually drifted, and Cheng Tianle found the legendary snowflake dragon tree on the cliffs and valleys. The tree grows slowly, the largest being only two stories high, with knotted branches and a peculiar pattern of bark, like a dragon with snowflake patterns.
Spring is already blooming at the foot of the mountain, and the snowflake dragon wood on the high mountain has just sprouted, and there is no resin oozing, but in this season when the earth is gradually warming, it is the time when the jade dragon smoke appears the most. Where there are snowflakes descending dragon wood, it also needs to grow in a certain humidity and light conditions, and it has to climb to a relatively flat valley between the mountains at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.
The mountain gradually deepens, along the way only to see the cliff abrupt, the rock peak is quite beautiful, the mountain peaks seem to stand in the sky, surrounded by smoke and clouds, strange pines and strange stones everywhere, there are also a lot of snowflakes descending dragon wood growth. The fault structure of Dabie Mountain becomes more and more obvious the higher you go, and if you don't master the method of divine action, ordinary people can't get to where they are, even helicopters can't get close, and even professional mountaineers have to travel for a long time with the help of equipment and supplies.
But the scenery along the way is very beautiful, Cheng Tianle didn't tell Sheng Long what they were going to do at first, but only told Sheng Long to let him practice the method of Shen Xing, and at the same time appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers in the world, walking neither fast nor slow. When they arrived at the valley where the jade dragon smoke infested was recorded in the Danfang, it was already the third day after they entered the mountain.
That night, they stopped in a high mountain jungle surrounded by large and small peaks, sat down and spread out their primordial spirits to look up to all things in heaven and earth, and vaguely had the spirit of swallowing mountains and rivers. The sun rose in the early morning of the next day, and the outline of the red sun could not be seen clearly in the clouds, only to see a vigorous glow shooting out of the cave sky, surrounded by countless fine rainbows. This scene is so beautiful, it's really like a fairy dream!
Cheng Tianle suddenly shouted in the Yuan Shen: "Sheng Long, pay attention to what I'm doing - look carefully at that white smoke!" ”
There was mist everywhere under the glow, which white smoke was Mr. Cheng talking about? Sheng Long was in surprise, and suddenly saw Cheng Tianle flick his fingers in his right hand, and a dragon-like mist in mid-air was actually drawn out by him, hovering in the air and rolling into a ball. The small cloud was still shrinking, and finally turned into milky white translucent droplets a few inches away from Cheng's fingertips, dripping into a white porcelain bottle he held in his left hand.
