It took half a day to go into the city to buy food, and when Zhang Shuo returned to the village, it was already noon, and he came to the corner of the east wall.

Under the east wall, there is a half-man-high clay pot filled with river water, and four or five grass carp with small arms can be seen wandering in the clear water.

The fish in the pot was sent by Wu Luo in the past few days, because of the breakthrough in cultivation, Zhang Shuo has not made a fire to cook in the past three days, and he directly nibbles on bread when he is hungry, because it is too wasteful to cook by making a fire.

Picking out the smallest fish in the pot, Zhang Shuo skillfully disemboweled it, scraped off the scales, and then made a fire, and simply stewed a pot of fish soup, the fish soup was not delicious, because Zhang Shuo did not have enough seasoning.

After drinking the fish soup, Zhang Shuo began to practice behind closed doors again, but this time the penance was different from the previous days, this time, Zhang Shuo took out the big sword that he had treasured for a long time!

Zhang Shuo has now opened up the spiritual aperture, and is able to absorb spiritual energy through the spiritual aperture to refine the body, and this stage of cultivation is called "accepting qi".

This stage belongs to the foundation building stage, which is mainly to slowly pass the refinement of the aura, so that the human body is gradually perfect, and then break the barriers of heaven and man, and achieve the realm of human immortals!

The so-called "barrier between heaven and man" is the hard shell between himself and the outside world that Zhang Shuo felt when he was contemplating, and the spiritual aperture is a small hole in this shell.

Of course, Zhang Shuo still has a few decades to go before the so-called human immortals, and he is now at best a beginner cultivator, the only difference from ordinary people is that he can mobilize a trace of aura.

With Zhang Shuo's current strength, of course, it was impossible to refine any powerful magic weapons, and he took out the big sword, just to use his aura to cultivate it.

First of all, the magic weapon needs to be "psychic", which is the key for practitioners to be able to control the magic weapon!

The so-called "psychic" refers to the person refining the magic weapon who uses his own aura to continuously cultivate the magic instrument embryo, so that there is a secret connection between himself and the embryo, and the deeper this connection, the smoother the control of the magic weapon after refining.

Now Zhang Shuo's sword is equivalent to the embryo of the magic weapon, according to the record of the inheritance of jade, the difficulty of different materials with aura is also different, the practitioners in ancient times used a variety of heavenly treasures as materials, so the refining of the magic weapon is very powerful, the sword in Zhang Shuo's hand is made of artificial alloy, so the difficulty of this refinement, he has no bottom in his heart.

This sword created by Zhang Shuotuo is modeled after the shape of a fairy sword in a popular Xiuzhen page game, this is a one-handed sword, the sword body is one finger wide (7~8 cm), two feet long (66~67 cm), very slender, the sword body is covered with blue-purple lines, this is not lacquer, but titanium alloy blue.

The original name of this sword in the game was "Dark Frost", and Zhang Shuo felt that this name was a bit out of step with the fairy sword, so he changed the name of the long sword in his hand to "Clear Sky".

Zhang Shuo sat cross-legged on the ground, put the Clear Sky Sword on his knees, held the sword body with both hands, and slowly closed his eyes.

A trace of spiritual energy was injected into the spiritual mansion through the spiritual aperture, and then dispersed throughout the body, Zhang Shuo used his mind to control the spiritual energy of his hands and feet, causing it to converge on the sword body of the Clear Sky Sword.

The aura washed over the sword like flowing water in waves, and after about two hours, it didn't stop until Zhang Shuo's energy was exhausted, and when he collected all the aura and checked the results, his face suddenly turned dark.

Maybe the material of titanium alloy does not have any spirituality, the refining of the aura is from the outside to the inside, layer by layer like water penetrates inward, Zhang Shuo found after inspection, just two hours of hard work only refined the outermost thin layer of the sword body, he estimated, if you want to completely refine the sword embryo, it is estimated that it will take more than a hundred days!

Moreover, this more than 100 days is only the refining of the sword embryo, if you want to make the Clear Sky Sword a real magic weapon, you also need to engrave the rune prohibition, and then go through the steps of divine refining, Zhang Shuo feels that this sword will not be able to fly in two or three years.

Despite this, Zhang Shuo's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and after a brief rest, he began to meditate again......

The county seat of Hecang County.

In the lobby of the medical hall, an old doctor with white hair was taking the pulse of a seven or eight-year-old child, who was wearing a brocade robe and a golden lock around his neck, and was tall and thin, looking depressed.

"Doctor Xu, how is my son?" asked a woman next to the child, this woman was wearing a golden hairpin, wearing a plain brocade, and a layer of rouge on her face.

"Mrs. Zhang, don't panic, the little boy just had a bad stomach, and the old man prescribed two pairs of medicines, and the little boy was fine after eating. The old doctor stroked his beard, the wrinkles on his face shrank slightly, and said with a smile.

"Really, then it's troublesome Dr. Xu!" said the noble lady with a happy face, and took out a silver nude from her sleeve and handed it over.

"Madame is polite, hehe......" The old doctor smiled and took the silver nude, put it on his waist, and then instructed the apprentice next to him to start grabbing the medicine.

"Doctor!" the lady had just left the infirmary with the medicine, when a terrible cry came from the door of the infirmary.

When the old doctor surnamed Xu heard the shouting, he looked towards the door, and saw a ragged woman rushing in at the door, holding a three or four-year-old child in her arms.

"What's going on?" Dr. Xu asked as he frowned and turned to the woman who ran in.

"Doctor, come and see my son, is he still saved?" The woman didn't seem to feel the old doctor's displeasure, and hurriedly ran to the lobby, and the child in her arms was lifted in front of Dr. Xu.

Dr. Xu glanced into the woman's arms and found that the child was naked, wrapped in a hemp cloth, and had some yellow feces on his body, and was already confused.

"What's wrong with your son these two days? When Dr. Xu saw the dirty body, he stopped thinking about checking the pulse, so he asked the child's mother.

"My son has been vomiting and diarrhea for the past two days, and his body is ...... fever," the woman whimpered and told Dr. Xu about the symptoms, and said it very carefully, for fear that she would miss something.

"Oh, it's just that you have a bad stomach, and the old man will prescribe you two pairs of medicines, and you will be cured after eating your son's illness. After listening to this, Dr. Xu said lightly.

"Really, my son is fine with the medicine?" the woman asked, stopping crying, with a look of surprise.

"That's nature!" replied, rubbing his beard.

Dr. Xu instructed the apprentice to grab the medicine and give it to the woman, and he was very generous without the medical fee and medicine fee, and the woman immediately left with a thousand thanks.

After the woman received the medicine and left, Dr. Xu's apprentice asked with some confusion, "Master, why did you also eat bad stomachs, you prescribed Baohe pills to Mrs. Zhang's son, but melon roots and ginger to the mother and son of the disaster victim?"

"What do you know? A pair of Baohe pills cost fifty yuan, do you think the mother and son of the disaster victim seem to be rich people?" Dr. Xu scolded, "It's just that if you eat a bad stomach, melon roots and ginger are enough to cure it!"

In fact, Dr. Xu didn't say a word - it's just a fleeing victim, what if it can't be cured?
