Chapter 17 Exploring the Sea of Knowledge
Outside, Zhang Yuanwai was still a little uneasy after all, and quietly peeked through the crack of the door, so as not to give people a thousand taels of silver stupidly when he was green.
Thankfully, it's business as usual.
Li Xiang just sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing what he was talking about......
"Immortal Master Mingjian, what Xiu'er said is all the truth......"
In the house, Xiu'er sobbed and talked about her own experience.
It turned out that she was a flower spirit that had not been transformed for a long time......
Generally speaking, flower essences, butterfly spirits, fox demons, etc., are relatively easy to transform.
Especially fox demons, some spiritual foxes, may transform into human form in just over a hundred years.
It's just that Heaven is fair.
Take the fox demon as an example, it is easy to transform into a shape, but the demon power is very weak, and most of them can only do some illusions.
Once you meet someone with a little magic power and break their illusion, the consequences will be worrying.
Unless you continue to cultivate, you will slowly evolve into a three-tailed fox, or even a six-tailed or nine-tailed fox...... In that way, you will have strong demonic power.
Xiu'er is the same, the body is a wild rhododendron, after three hundred years of wind and rain, it turned into a human form by chance.
However, the demonic power is very weak.
I wanted to stay in the mountains and do penance, but unexpectedly, I was targeted by someone and set a trap to capture him.
That person is Mao Jiu, who sold it to the Jade Building.
This person was originally a gangster, and he didn't know where to learn some tricks of the rivers and lakes, so he began to dream of becoming an immortal.
It's a good thing to have a dream, but the key is that this guy is not right-hearted, and he actually went all the way to the side.
He tried his best to catch Xiu'er, not simply coveting her beauty, but mainly her cultivation.
After being caught and tossed for more than a month, it was just a matter of taking away the cultivation, and he actually sold Xiu'er to the Jade Building in a frenzy and got five hundred taels of silver.
also threatened Xiu'er that a ban had been placed in her body, and as long as she dared to escape, she would die of fire.
In despair, Xiu'er could only pretend to be happy, and she was numb in her heart to live day by day......
……
"There are still such scum!"
Li Xiang clenched his fists tightly, and a thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Ask the immortal master to save Xiu'er......"
finally cultivated and formed, and Xiu'er was naturally unwilling to be dissipated.
"It's okay, you do have a prohibition...... However, in order to avoid being frightened, this prohibition cannot be moved for the time being......"
Next, Li Xiang continued to lose a wisp of true qi, which made Xiu'er recover some of her spirits and gave a few words.
"Well, Xiu'er must follow the instructions of the immortal master."
Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Okay, Master Zhang, you can come in." ”
"Haha, Li Langzhong really deserves to be called a miracle doctor......"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yuanwai looked at Xiu'er, who had already sat up, with a look of surprise and a very happy smile.
"Old man......"
Xiu'er got out of bed, and Yingying gave a salute.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanwai was even more surprised.
"Okay, Master Zhang, this first step of treatment is over, Xiaosheng will come back in a few days, and Mrs. Ling will be completely cured."
"Thank you Li Langzhong, thank you ......"
"That...... Can I pay the fee now? Xiaosheng is a little urgent. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai hesitated...... After all, the treatment isn't over yet, is it?
"Master, isn't it just a thousand taels of silver, you should be for the good of others......"
As soon as Xiu'er was coquettish, Zhang Yuanwai's bones were crispy, and he hurriedly said: "Give, master, give it!" ”
In this way, Li Xiang got a thousand taels of silver, smiled and left.
He wasn't making excuses, he was in a hurry to get the money.
Because, he has to do an important thing: open up the sea of knowledge.
For the cultivators, if they don't open up the sea of knowledge, they can't be considered true cultivators.
Only by opening up the sea of consciousness can we have divine consciousness. And divine consciousness is the foundation of all supernatural powers, such as manipulating magic swords, casting Dao methods, etc., all of which are inseparable from divine consciousness.
The reason why Li Xiang did not deal with Mao Jiu immediately was precisely based on this reason.
Without divine sense, could it be that he fought hard with the other party with his fists?
It was not clear how others had opened up the sea of knowledge, but according to the method contained in the Vientiane Sutra, he had to prepare a three-day serving of medicinal soup.
After a rough calculation, even if the amount of medicinal soup in these three days does not cost a thousand taels of silver, it is estimated that it is not far behind.
Almost all of them are precious Chinese medicinal materials, and there are certain requirements for the vintage.
For example, ginseng must be more than 20 years old......
Fortunately, although Qingcheng County is not big, it is located in the deep mountains, which has been rich in medicinal materials since ancient times, and there are often medicinal material merchants who come and go.
Li Xiang ran back and forth a few laps, and finally collected the medicinal materials at noon the next day, spending nearly nine hundred taels of silver.
The medicinal herbs were in hand, and they quickly left the city.
Along the way, pick the mountain road so as not to shock the world.
I think Li Xiang was shocked by the old way of "flying on the grass", and now, he can finally enjoy this feeling.
A man like the wind.
In less than half an hour, they arrived in Qingshan Town, and a wild boar was solved on the way.
……
As soon as he returned to the medical hall, Li Xiang locked the shop and began to select medicinal materials and carry out rough processing.
When ready, throw the herbs into Shennong Ding and start boiling.
Shennong Ding is one of the top ten artifacts of ancient times, the best weapon for refining medicine, so Li Xiang believes that the effect of the medicine refined with it will inevitably have miraculous effects.
It boiled for four hours, and only turned off the heat when the liquid was almost paste-like.
Then, carefully serve it in a bowl and set aside.
For the sake of safety, Li Xiang sat down cross-legged, carefully checked the steps and key points of opening up the sea of knowledge again, and began to recite the mantra silently after confirming that it was correct......
For ordinary people, the understanding of the sea is limited to memory.
However, for the cultivator, it is a real metamorphosis, using a specific way to open up a separate spiritual space in the mind.
Including the dantian, after the foundation building period, the dantian must also be broken and turned into a sea of qi. After that, it can be regarded as officially entering the sea realm.
At that time, more herbs are needed...... It is estimated that at least three thousand taels of silver.
Therefore, Li Xiang must work hard to make money, otherwise he will have to go all over the mountains and fields to collect medicinal herbs......
After about an hour, Li Xiang's face began to become distorted.
Sweating profusely, the green tendons on his forehead kept wriggling like earthworms.
Open up the sea of knowledge and officially begin.
That feeling...... It's like splitting your head with a knife and pouring chili water into it.
After enduring it for a while, Li Xiang opened his eyes, reached out to take the bowl, and directly grabbed a handful of ointment with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
A cool breath spread, and the pain finally subsided a little.
After a while, the pain intensified, and Li Xiang grabbed another handful of ointment......
After repeating this more than a dozen times, after eating the ointment, Li Xiang closed his eyes slightly, breathed for a while, and then got up to fetch water and take a shower.
It is not a simple matter to open up the sea of knowledge, and it needs to last for three days.
The next day, the store was open as usual during the day...... In the evening, continue to boil the ointment and open up the sea.
The third day was as usual.
At dawn, there was a faint roar in my head, like a flood, and a huge wave was churning.
At that moment, Li Xiang felt that he had lost all his thoughts, and could only hear the boom in his head.
Fortunately, the movement did not last long, and when it subsided, a strange feeling came over me......
It's as if the world has changed for the same.
