Volume 1: The Twin Towers Chapter 24: About Spiritual Liquid Refining
After going out, the two slowly walked towards Wang Ping's Audi A6, because Lu Yao's house is in the "slum", so many tenants have limited rooms, and a lot of storage sheds have been built in the alley, and the lane, which was barely spacious, is very narrow, so the car can only be parked in a relatively spacious place at the entrance of the alley and does not drive in.
"Lu Yao, I hope you can think about my suggestion, I am not only doing this to fund your studies, but also for my uncle, it won't be long before you will definitely go to a big city to go to college, uncle has us to take care of us in our martial arts hall, you can rest assured, right?" Wang Ping was still persuading Lu Yao.
"I will." Lu Yao said very flatly: "Brother Wang, thank you for coming to celebrate my godfather's birthday today, and for giving me such valuable things as ginseng and lingzhi, how can I repay you in the future?" Lu Yao said.
"As long as you succeed in your studies and become a pillar of the country, it will not be in vain for the kindness of our museum owner, but how do you know what I am sending?" Wang Ping asked strangely when he heard Lu Yao say what his gift was.
"It's very clear on the box, Changbai Mountain wild ginseng, Hainan best Ganoderma lucidum!" Lu Yao said after smiling.
"Well, it seems that I was careless!" Wang Ping smiled awkwardly.
In fact, since Wang Ping was able to be entrusted with an important task by the Huang Lao faction, it showed that he was a very careful person, and as for making such a low-level mistake, it was entirely because he was bent on how to get Lu Yao to join the martial arts hall, and ignored these.
The two of them soon came to the car, and after saying goodbye to each other briefly, Wang Ping drove away.
Lu Yao glanced at the dust raised by the Audi A6, then turned around and went home.
……
……
"Lu Yao, how did you and this Mr. Wang meet?"
When Lu Yao went home, Lu Yiqian had already packed up his things, and asked after seeing Lu Yao send Wang Ping away.
"The last time in the night market, Brother Wang acted bravely, one of the thugs was ready to attack him with a dagger, I reminded him, in order to express my gratitude, gave me a business card, it happened that today I passed by the martial arts hall and met Brother Wang, he heard that you are on your birthday today, so he came with me."
Lu Yao talked about the process before and after he and Wang Ping met, but he was worried that his godfather would be worried, so he deliberately concealed some of these things.
"That's good, although you did well in the exam this time, my godfather still has to remind you that you are about to take the college entrance examination, and everything must be focused on your studies!" Lu Yiqian said earnestly.
"Got it, godfather, I understand the importance of the college entrance examination to me, and I will grasp the balance." Lu Yao knew what his godfather meant by this, he just didn't want to delay his studies because of some other things, after all, for a family like theirs, the college entrance examination has become the fastest way to success.
"Godfather, I still have some things to do, I need to go out, you can rest early!" After saying hello to his godfather, Lu Yao walked towards the door.
Lu Yiqian didn't ask, it didn't mean that he didn't understand, a person like Wang Ping who could take out Changbai Shangye ginseng and Hainan top-grade Ganoderma lucidum to give to Lu Yao was definitely not as simple as Lu Yao said, but Lu Yao didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask more.
After all, in his heart, Lu Yao has done things very measuredly over the years, and he has never let himself worry about it.
Seeing that Lu Yao had already walked to the gate, Lu Yiqian just advised: "Go early and come back early!" ”
Seeing Lu Yao nodding in agreement, Lu Yiqian said silently in his heart.
"After all, it's the son of the Lu family!"
……
……
Leaving this slum, Lu Yao came to a relatively secluded and inaccessible river, sat on a large rock in an excellent position, held his breath, and tried to communicate with Lijiang in his mind.
A moment later, leaving the frontier appeared in Lu Yao's mind.
"Master, how are you recovering?" Lu Yao asked with concern.
"It's no big deal anymore, it's just that I can't help you again in a short period of time!" Lijiang said.
Lu Yao heard that he had almost recovered from Lijiang, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
To be honest, this time to treat rheumatism and bone poison for Miao Sedum, Lu Yao could also feel that leaving the territory was indeed a huge consumption, otherwise with the strength of his forging body hammer membrane entry realm, his body would not feel so weak.
"The master led the door, the cultivation depends on the individual, the matter of spiritual liquid, I want to try to refine it myself, after all, in the future, I will have to rely on my own efforts to cultivate more." Lu Yao thought about it for a long time, and although he was not sure at all, he still decided to try refining the spiritual liquid himself.
"Yes, Lu Yao, I am really happy for you to have such an understanding! But you don't have to worry, no matter how difficult the path of cultivation is in the future, the master will accompany you! Although he was happy to leave Xinjiang, he also saw Lu Yao's worries and said with relief.
Lijiang naturally knew that it was the best choice to rely on himself in cultivation, but after all, Lu Yao was a beginner cultivator, and even more so, a high school student who had not yet fully reached adulthood, and it was normal for him to have such an attachment to his teacher.
Originally, Lijiang planned to wait for Lu Yao to finish refining the spiritual liquid for Lu Yao this time, and then talk to Lu Yao about his future cultivation, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Yao would be able to say this, which made him very happy in his heart.
After listening to Lijiang's praise, Lu Yao did not get carried away, but felt a lot of pressure.
In the future, the path of cultivating immortals will be completed by himself alone under the guidance of Lijiang, and it will be impossible without pressure.
"Master, how else can I refine this spiritual liquid this time?" Lu Yao asked.
"The production of spiritual liquid has been divided into two kinds since ancient times, one is to use the Dan furnace to refine, and the other is to urge the true qi to condense, but these two things cannot be completed with your current skills, so today I will teach you a method that I thought of on a whim before but is particularly suitable for you - boiling." After Lijiang spoke, the pride could be faintly heard in his tone.
The form of putting all kinds of medicinal herbs in a casserole, letting them boil with a stove or firewood, and not taking them until the herbs have been boiled and only some residues remain, is nothing more than a violent thing in the eyes of Lijiang.
The core of the boiling system mentioned by Lijiang is the control of heat and moisture.
The control of the heat is not only related to whether the herbs can be boiled into spiritual liquid, but also whether the medicinal herbs can be boiled into the spiritual liquid you want, and the same medicinal materials are likely to have different reactions under different heat conditions, so as to turn into another spiritual liquid, or even venom.
"Boiled?" Lu Yao asked curiously: "I have also had the experience of boiling medicine before, is this useful?" ”
"It's basically useless, in the process of boiling the spiritual liquid I said, the operation of the cloud pushing hand is the most critical." Lijiang said: "Actually, pushing the cloud hand is not only a kind of body forging exercise, but also a method of refining medicine. ”
Lu Yao also had doubts at first, how could this cloud pushing hand only have two simple movements, how could it be selected by Lijiang as his first type of exercise to teach, but later, as his strength slowly increased, this doubt was slowly dispelled, but at this time, when he heard Lijiang say that the cloud pushing hand is still a method of refining medicine, he understood Lijiang's good intentions.
"By pushing with the movement of the hands, the whole body can maintain a relatively subtle realm, so that it is a little easier to control the heat." Lijiang explained.
"Then Master, we have the medicinal materials, and I have been practicing the fire control technique for a while, so when can we start refining?" Lu Yao listened to Lijiang's explanation, and felt a little confident in his heart.
"Don't worry, we still need to find some living water to use as a carrier for refining spiritual liquid and quenching the body!" Lijiang said slowly.
"Living water? What is living water, can the master explain it more simply? Lu Yao was a little stunned when he heard the words of Lijiang.
"The so-called living water is the water with life, and more popularly, it is the long flowing water!" Off the border.
"When the spiritual liquid enters the long flowing water, won't it be diluted, how can it be used to quench the body?" Lu Yao's mind was full of doubts.
"Lu Yao, why are you so pedantic, do you remember a sentence from an ancient poem you read a few days ago?" Lijiang said with a smile.
"Which sentence, please ask Master for advice?" Lu Yao thought about it several times, but still couldn't find the answer, so he had to ask.
"Ask where the canal is as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water!" Lijiang said in a low tone like an ancient poet.
Hearing this, Lu Yao suddenly realized that his thinking was too restrained, and he just thought of the living water as the bubbling river on weekdays, but he forgot that the river also has a source, since the river can be called living water, then the source can naturally be called the source of living water.
The general long flowing water is formed by snow-capped meltwater and underground spring water, and the snow-capped meltwater has more impurities and is not suitable for quenching, but this underground spring water is the best choice.
The meaning of leaving the territory is already very clear, as long as the spring of the right size is blocked with something to prevent the spring water from flowing out, but only circulates back and forth near the spring, it can also be regarded as living water, so that all problems are solved.
At this point in his thoughts, Lu Yao couldn't help but think of the Jingxin Lake where he once went to catch fish with Han Dong.
I remember that it was a weekend in the first semester of high school, Han Dong came to find Lu Yao, and he had to go to Jingxin Lake to catch fish, but in the end, he couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to go to Jingxin Lake together.
Jingxin Lake can be said to be known to everyone in Shuangta City, because it is composed of nearly 1,000 springs of different sizes, so it is also called Thousand Eyes Lake.
The water of Jingxin Lake can irrigate 70% of the farmland in Shuangta City, which is of great significance to Shuangta City, which is a large agricultural city, so it is also known as the "Mother Lake" of Shuangta City.
People who have been catching fish for a long time know that fish such as loaches like to grow under the turf near the spring, so the two of them went to touch the fish from spring to spring, maybe it was a long time and people were tired, Lu Yao accidentally fell into a small spring.
This frightened Han Dong, and he couldn't pull Lu Yao out after trying for a long time, but Lu Yao's whole person fell deeper and deeper, and finally he had to call people everywhere to come to the rescue.
But when everyone rushed to the scene of the incident, they found that Lu Yao was still digging fish unharmed, except that the clothes on his body were completely soaked, there was no scar.
Later, Lu Yao only whispered this matter to Han Dong alone.
It turned out that Lu Yao was sucked in by the spring, but this spring was connected to a slightly smaller spring not far away, and after Lu Yao was sucked in from here, he found that there was a small hole that could accommodate one person to pass through, Lu Yao swam desperately towards the hole, and was "spit out" from the spring in less than two or three minutes.
It's a bit bizarre, so I haven't told outsiders about it, and at this time, as soon as I was reminded to leave Xinjiang, Lu Yao immediately thought of this Lianxin Zimu Spring.
Now all the problems are solved.
"Master, when will you start refining the spiritual liquid?" Lu Yao said.
"Tomorrow night, we will start refining the spiritual liquid and quench your body!" Lijiang said.
"Got it, master, I won't let you down." Lu Yao said firmly.
When Lu Yao opened his eyes, it was already close to eleven o'clock in the evening, Lu Yao jumped off the boulder, stretched his muscles, and walked towards home.
