Chapter 5: Is this the legendary waste wood flow??
Chapter 5: Is this the legendary waste wood flow??
In the Qing Kingdom, the reason why alchemists are noble, in addition to their ability, is that the number is scarce, which is also a very important reason.
In fact, no matter what world you are in, scarcity will become a hundred times more valuable. For example, the giant panda in a certain time and space, the kind of thing that has no effect other than being used to slaughter and eat meat (哧yo~~哧yo~~) can become a "national treasure", in the final analysis, because of the small number.
Well, off topic, back to the point.
Alchemists are scarce, but it is not because of the broom's self-cherishment. On the contrary, the existing alchemists are very happy to see the scene of alchemists all over the world.
In Zhuli, there are alchemists' basic theoretical knowledge books for sale everywhere!
In fact, in other parts of the Qing Kingdom, as long as there is a little bit of status and wealth, there are one or two books such as "Introduction to Alchemy" and "Dan Dao Synopsis" at home.
In a special place like Zhuli, even if you pull a random person on the street, he can recite the basic knowledge of alchemy to you completely......
Alchemists have never spared the spread of Dan Dao knowledge, and even worked hard to promote it, so that as many people as possible can know about Dan Dao.
It's a pity that to this day, the number of alchemists in the Qing Kingdom has not increased much.
The reason is simple.
Talent!!!
In a certain country in a certain time and space, children will hear the phrase "genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" from an early age, and this sentence accompanies them to grow up, become adults, grow old, and die. Most of them don't know until they die, and there is a sentence after that sentence: "The most important thing is the one percent of inspiration"!
This shows the importance of talent.
The talent of an alchemist lies in "induction".
Sense the flow of "qi" between heaven and earth.
Zhang Shen read most of the Dan Dao introductory books on the market and had a preliminary understanding of the knowledge system of alchemists.
Alchemists generally divide "qi" into seven types: "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang", and they believe that everything in heaven and earth has "qi", and even a stone and a tree have a unique "qi" existence and flow, but ordinary people can't feel it.
Whether or not you can sense the "qi" that exists between heaven and earth has become the moat that distinguishes alchemists from ordinary people.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the Qing Kingdom could not sense the presence of "qi", let alone flow.
That's why alchemists are so scarce.
However, it can be regarded as an unintentional willow insertion. Some people who don't have the talent of alchemists are unwilling, but they have studied another result - martial artists.
They aimed at the human beings themselves, and through the stimulation of external objects, some people who were sensitive but not at the alchemist level were able to grasp the flow of their own blood "qi" and control it, so as to become martial artists with powerful physical bodies.
This achievement greatly increased the military force of the Qing State, annexed several small countries around it one after another, and achieved the Qing Empire, which has a huge territory today. Of course, this is off topic.
Zhang Shen can also be regarded as an alchemist, plus as a guardian, he has a broad horizon and has seen all kinds of strange power systems in the heavens and ten thousand worlds, and he has his own understanding of the "qi" of Dan Dao.
The so-called "qi" is the flow of energy between heaven and earth.
In any world, even in the low-level world of science and technology with a very low degree of mystery, there is also the energy of heaven and earth, but in different forms.
The energy of heaven and earth, when it is solidified, forms all kinds of tangible and intangible things, and when it is dispersed, it is free energy.
When the free energy gathers to a certain concentration, an energy flow will be formed, which flows from the full place to the sparse place, which is the flow of "qi" sensed by the alchemists.
In the world of alchemists, there is a saying of "dragon vein".
The dragon vein, which has something in common with the "spirit vein" of the fairy world, is a relatively large energy flow. The difference is that the spirit veins tend to be solid and cannot be moved, while the "dragon veins" are still formless and can move in a few cases.
In fact, the twelve days of Kunlun are the gathering place of several dragon veins in the Qing Kingdom. Practicing on the dragon vein is of great benefit to alchemists who pay attention to the unity of heaven and man and perceive the nature of heaven and earth.
Zhang Shen's first area of the brain has reached 15.56%, although it is still far from forgetting, but the memory is several times beyond ordinary people, under the memory of the heart, the basic knowledge of Dan Dao did not take a few days to remember, imprinted in the mind, difficult to forget.
Coupled with his own alchemy skills, today's Zhang is like a brick master of Dan Dao introductory knowledge.
Here's the problem.
When Zhang took a bath and calmed his mind and was ready to sense the qi of heaven and earth, he found that he couldn't sense it!!
Groove !!
After trying several times, he still couldn't sense the flow of any "qi", and Zhang Shen suddenly fell into a groove.
For someone who is complacent and has already planned for the future, this result is a bolt from the blue......
Zhang Shen hated the root of his teeth, his teeth creaked, and his brain was bruised...... Naturally useless.
Tossed for half a night, with a heart full of entanglement, Zhang Shen fell asleep.
As everyone knows, at the same time that Zhang Mou was tossing top of an independent tower-like high-rise building in the center of Zhuli, a young man wearing clothes similar to Taoist robes was also on fire.
"Damn, that bastard messing around town?! Knowing that Zhuli's qi veins are restrained, he still tosses hard, and he wants to make trouble with me, right?! Oh yes, it's better not to let me know who did it, I'm %¥@#%"
After scolding, the young man took out the toolbox with an iron face and repaired the Qi Vein Restraint Magic Weapon that had been damaged by a certain "bastard".
One night, no words...... Well, no words.
"Overnight, they were so haggard, how distressed they should be when they saw it." Early in the morning, after washing, Zhang Shen looked at himself in the mirror, Gu Ying felt sorry for himself (?) ), muttering to himself.
The induction of "qi" failed, Zhang Shen was a little depressed and decided to go out for a walk.
Speaking of which, since coming to Zhuli, Zhang Shen has been immersed in the introductory knowledge of alchemy, and he has started a dead house with peace of mind, except for going downstairs for a meal, he almost doesn't go out much, and occasionally goes out to buy books......
It is very different, but its center is still the small village and town in the beginning. Of course, today's small villages and towns have changed greatly, from villages and towns directly upgraded to international metropolises, which are a major economic and cultural center of the Qing Dynasty.
The inn where Zhang Shen lives is not too far from the central district of Zhuli, and it can be reached by walking for half an hour.
When he came here, Zhang Shen's feet unconsciously followed the tempting fragrance he smelled with his nose and came to a rare five-storey restaurant. Looking up, the three strong characters of "Danyaxuan" came into view.
Although he didn't know anything about calligraphy, Zhang Shen couldn't help but praise these three words.
Zhang Shen went up to the second floor and ordered all the dishes on the menu that he had never eaten and thought would be delicious.
"Well, that's all. By the way, you snow wine, also bring me two jars. ”
"Hey, I've already ordered, why are you still standing here?" Seeing that Xiao Er just looked at himself in a daze and didn't mean to leave at all, Zhang Shenqi said.
"Childe, you ordered more than 50 dishes, that, you have ...... No, Childe, are you just a person? Xiao Er almost said the sentence "Do you have the money to pay the bills".
"Eh, I ordered more than 50? Well, more than 50 dishes are more than 50 dishes, rest assured, although it is a person, but I can finish eating, I will definitely not waste food. ”
The ghost doesn't care if you waste it! Xiao Er cried with a sad face, and felt the urge to throw the teapot in his hand on the face of the person in front of him.
"Haha, rest assured, uncle, I have money." Zhang Shen was extremely bored, and decided to make a big money on a whim, wiped his right hand on his waist, and threw a money bag on the table, making a heavy sound of "dong".
The movement here has attracted a lot of attention.
Someone's rudeness and rusticism made many people frown. However, there are also quite a few who glance at the money bag that has been opened, and their eyes become hot when they look at a certain local money.
Xiao Er's eyes were very sharp, and after confirming that the guy in front of him really had the money to pay the bill, his attitude became enthusiastic again, and after pouring a cup of tea with a smile, he quickly ran towards the back kitchen with small steps.
"This kind of brain-dead local tyrant, as long as he can be satisfied, the tip will not be less."
Danyaxuan's business is very good, and it takes some time before the order is served.
As expected by Zhang, Xiao Er left on the front foot, and several boys dressed like people came up on the back foot to set up friendship.
Zhang did not refuse to come, and he had a gossip with them.
He knows that he is not the kind of person who is shrewd and eloquent, and can get what he wants from other people's mouths in a few words, and he doesn't have this idea, anyway, he is idle and idle, so he should be distracted.
As for the silver in his purse, it is naturally true.
The Great Will deliberately raised the price of gold bars, in fact, more for newcomers, to prevent some distracted guys from exchanging dozens of tons or hundreds of tons of gold and silver for a while, and then quickly getting caught......
This kind of thing has not happened before.
When the newcomer calms down, spends a few worlds, and becomes an old bird, there is naturally a way to get what he wants.
Others don't talk about it for the time being, just talk about Zhang Shen.
A little universal point is enough to exchange for more than a dozen square fixers.
The fixer is a god thing, it contains silver in it, the content is very low, although the technology of the earth's time and space (non-black technology) can be extracted, but the cost is many times more than the benefit, so this thing can only become a waste, and it is a very polluted waste.
This is no pressure for Zhang Shen.
Draw a refining array with his hand, and after a few breaths, the silver in the fixer was successfully extracted by him, and it was 100% pure silver, without any impurities.
However, sterling silver, which sounds wonderful, is actually a minor nuisance.
Before using Zhang ginseng, it has to be doped with impurities.
…………
Although he is a foodie, Zhang Shen can't eat more than 50 dishes, and ordering so many is purely because of egg pain.
A few tables were put together, and more than a dozen sons and brothers came over, said a few good words, and sat down while taking advantage of the situation.
These people looked at Zhang Shen's eyes, and the three words of injustice were clearly written.
Zhang Shen didn't care about this.
In Zhuli, the hottest topic is always inseparable from Dandao and alchemists.
After eating seven or eight percent full, everyone began to gossip, bragging, and.
"I failed to induce qi last time, and I practiced hard at home for half a month, and I decided to go to the 'pneumatic building' again this afternoon."
"Jing Chen's golden stone is opened, my son doesn't believe it, with my extraordinary talent, I can't become an alchemist!"
"Let me tell you, when my son was born, I invited the most famous physiognomy master in Zhuli, 'Buyi Shenxiang', to see the photo, and he said that I am amazingly talented, and at first glance it is the material of the alchemist!"
After the man finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other and laughed.
"Brother Qian, do you know that this guy also said this to my father at the beginning."
"Yes, yes, I have that comment as well."
Everyone laughed, but Zhang Shen noticed a certain key.
"Pneumatic Building" and "Air Bleed"
Could it be that if you sense the qi veins of heaven and earth, what else can't you say?
