Chapter 49: Five Elements Ning Yuan Dan
Gao Zhen controls the soft and bendable metal pipe of the leak with one hand, and adjusts the angle of the trapezoidal metal film with the other hand to align the flow direction of the turbid river. Layers of white flocculation are like sheets of extremely thin rice paper, attached to the metal film with tiny holes like sand grains.
In a blink of an eye, he had been in Baigu for more than half a month, and his internal injuries had finally improved. Mu Wan is very good at boiling soup, and after drinking the soup, Gao Zhen always feels warm in her heart, and the spiritual power in her body seems to have recovered a lot. Now he has recovered almost as much as before the injury, and after more than half a month, his skills have grown again, and he is now fully in line with the criteria for advancing to the third order.
After learning that the leak was filtered and the liquid stored in the metal box behind him was the "Canglang Water" he was looking for, Gao Zhen was very excited. Immediately proposed to Uncle Dong that he should replace Mu Wan in the salvage work, so that she could cultivate well. Uncle Dong is naturally very happy, so that this year's income will not only not decrease, but can increase, and his daughter can also prepare for the cabinet entrance exam.
"Immortal Master Gao, how is Mu Wan's cultivation?" Uncle Dong, who was salvaging behind the high pillow, straightened his rickety back, reached out to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and looked at Hua Muwan who was meditating under the old locust tree.
There was a blanket under the old locust tree, and Hua Muwan was sitting cross-legged on it, with her two hands imprinted on the dantian. Her eyes were gently closed, her thick eyelashes were lowered, and her small mouth was silently chanting some scriptures.
"Uncle Dong, she is very good, quite persevering." Gao Zhen turned back and smiled at Uncle Dong.
"That's good, I've been working hard for the high immortal master recently, and I've come to salvage the vicissitudes again, and I've instructed Mu Wan to cultivate." Uncle Dong said, continuing the work at hand.
"I'm embarrassed to live in your house all the time, eat your food, and drink your food." Gao Zhen twisted his sore neck. Salvaging the vicissitudes is indeed hard work, and it is easy for the back and cervical spine to be sore all the time. Uncle Dong's back is a little rickety, which may be caused by being engaged in salvage work for a long time. So he usually doesn't let Mu Wan work for too long, for fear of affecting her who is still growing taller.
Gao Zhen also raised her eyes to look at Hua Muwan, her stubbornness is indeed very similar to her sister An Lan, but she is not as smart as An Lan. She's really a bit like she said herself, and her head is a little bit bad......
Gao Zhen remembers that An Lan's academic performance has always been very good, and she often gets full marks in exams and is praised by teachers. This may be the only thing that Auntie likes about her, every time she has a parent-teacher meeting, Auntie participates as An Lan's parent, and is always praised by the teacher. As an older brother, no matter what Gao Zhen teaches her, she can quickly understand, and she can draw inferences from it even without Gao Zhen saying more.
But Hua Muwan is different, although she is three or four years older than her sister in age, she is obviously dumber than An Lan. Last time, Gao Zhen handed over the human body meridian trend diagram to her and told her to memorize it well. Mu Wan nodded and agreed, and also recited carefully in the evening. But when Gao Zhen asked the next day, she didn't know what to ask.
As for cultivating true qi, she did a good job, after all, she was a girl who could calm down, so it didn't take her day or two to successfully conceive her first wisp of true qi in the dantian.
"Master! Master! Hua Muwan suddenly opened her eyes and happily ran towards the high pillow standing in the middle of the river. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and small pieces of metal were flying in her palms.
"I can control the metal!" She exclaimed excitedly, a smile on her face.
"Yes, yes, after practicing for a while, I will teach you the first 'metallic' immortal technique: 'Three Thousand Silks'. This magic allows you to create a large number of metal filaments with high toughness and strength out of thin air. By controlling these metal filaments, you can attack enemies and form shields for defense, which is especially useful. This will also help you to take the entrance exam later, and you can use it to crack some tricks. Takatsu told her.
"Sounds pretty good, hehe." Mu Wan smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed into slits.
What Gao Zhen taught her was the metallic exercise "Star Decision". This is also the technique recorded in the "Promotion Guide" brought by Gao Zhen from the game, and it is one of the basic exercises of the five attributes. Gao Zhen found that unlike in the game, there seems to be no restriction on initial attributes in the fairy world, and there is no requirement for immortal cultivators to choose from the first true qi of water, fire, and wood. In the immortal realm, a first-order immortal cultivator can directly choose any of the five attributes, which may have something to do with the abundance of spiritual power in the immortal realm.
As for why Hua Muwan was allowed to practice the metal sex exercises, there was also a reason. The attribute of "star" in the five elements is "gold", and Xinghai Pavilion is naturally also a sect that mainly cultivates "metallic" exercises. If Hua Muwan wanted to enter the Xinghai Pavilion in the future, it would naturally be beneficial and harmless to cultivate the metallic "Star Decision" in advance.
Another reason is that the metallic exercises, like the water attribute exercises, belong to the comprehensive and functional exercises in the five elements. If the wood attribute technique is good at healing, the fire attribute technique is good at attacking, and the earth attribute technique is good at defense, then this metal attribute exercise is good at "functional". Under the exercises of this attribute, there are not only skills to kill and injure enemies, but also skills to protect themselves, which can be said to have a lot of functions. The most basic skill "Three Thousand Silks" is a good example.
"Mu Wan, recite the first part of the Star Decision for the master." Gao Zhen decided to test this stupid girl.
"Uh...... The star is the five latitudes, and the star is the light. Star ...... Forehead...... That one...... Jin ......" Hua Muwan just memorized two sentences and got stuck, her little face was flushed, but she couldn't remember.
In the end, she simply gave up and stuck out her tongue at the high pillow with a smile.
"Laugh? Can you still laugh? Gao Zhen was a little angry, and deeply experienced the distress of being a teacher. He had the urge to knock her on the head with the leak in his hand, and he had taught her a hundred times, but she still wouldn't memorize it. Gao Zhen even guessed that she was the so-called "big-chested and brainless", "well-developed limbs and simple-minded".
"Daddy, master, he murdered me!" Hua Muwan saw Gao Zhen's hideous expression, and immediately put away her smile, crying and coquettishly to her father.
"Okay, okay, you go back to the house by yourself and carry it well, the high immortal master also hopes that you will become a talent soon, go ahead." Uncle Dong waved at her.
Gao Zhen thought to himself, why has this little girl learned to be cunning recently?
......
In the evening, three people gathered around the table and ate a hot meal.
"Master, try this." Hua Muwan smiled and put a dumpling into the bowl with a high pillow.
Gao Zhen poked it open with chopsticks and found that it was filled with eggplant. There is no such food as "dumplings" in the fairy world, and it is obvious that this is a craft brought by Hua Muwan from this world. Her biological father bought breakfast after all, and she more or less learned some knack for cooking good food from her father.
"Tomorrow, I'm going to take the dried catkins to Ziwei City to sell. Master Gao, do you have anything you want to buy? Uncle Dong stopped his chopsticks, looked at Gao Zhen and asked.
"I want to ask Uncle Dong to do me a favor." Gao Zhen said, taking out a bag of things from his bosom and placing it on the table.
It was a simple little cloth bag, and there were five different small containers inside, each containing five materials: Chen Tears, Lingzhang Wood, Canglang Water, Yan Iron, and Dwarf Soil.
"Please ask Uncle Dong to help me bring these five materials to a place called 'Immortal Cultivation Sharing Shop', and ask them to use the 'Intermediate Alchemy Furnace' to help me refine the 'Five Elements Ning Yuan Dan'. I have already written down the refining method on paper, and there is a silver dollar in the cloth bag, which is the cost of renting the alchemy furnace," Gao Zhen said.
Boss Ma's "Xiuxian Sharing Store" business is booming, ushering in a large number of customers, Ziwei City has also opened a branch here, Gao Zhen has been waiting for this day for a long time, after collecting all the five materials, he is eager to refine the "Five Elements Ning Yuan Dan", promote to the third-order Jie Dan realm, and learn the ability of the sword to fly.
As for what is a Xiuxian sharing shop, Gao Zhen only said two or three words to Hua Muwan, and she understood. But to let Uncle Dong understand, there are still some communication barriers.
Uncle Dong naturally agreed to help Gao Zhen, and he also asked Gao Zhen to write down some materials for Hua Muwan's cultivation on paper, as well as the rune paper and brush used to teach her to draw charms.
Since he would have to walk to Ziwei City early in the morning tomorrow, after eating, Uncle Dong would rest early. The refining cycle of the Five Elements Ning Yuan Pill is five days, which means that the next time I go to Ziwei City to sell Canghua, I can help Gao Zhen bring back the refined pill.
