Chapter 9 Medicinal Soup
Now the only thing that gives Zhao Qian a headache is the supplement of martial arts consumption, every day after eating at home, he has to eat another meal outside, and it is also a medicinal diet made by Xiaoguang's prescription and fresh beef and mutton.
In addition, the system can also run on its own every night to absorb aura, although there is only a trace of it, but the effect is not less than that of eating during the day, but even this two-pronged approach can't stop Zhao Qian's progress too fast, while the skill increases, the consumption has also been increasing, it seems that for the time being, I can only continue to make a rice bucket.
Deal with the affairs at home, Zhao Qian signed up for an expedited class at the driving school in the town, in fact, he had already learned to drive through the consciousness transmission of Xiaoguang in the consciousness space, and it was a full range of advanced special driving, not to mention cars, even if he drove a plane and a submarine, it was no problem. So I directly invited the coach to have a meal, stuffed a red envelope, and arranged various exams a week later, and got a driver's license in half a month, which can be regarded as breaking the learning record of this driving school.
After all the things were dealt with, the parents' health also improved greatly, and Zhao Qian returned to Guangfu.
In the past half a month, Zhao Qian did not let Xiaoguang be idle, and the remaining five million in the bank account were transferred to the stock market in one go, allowing Xiaoguang to keep an eye on several institutional bookmakers, and disperse the funds to follow the trend, and now the account balance has exceeded eight figures again, reaching more than 10 million.
According to Xiaoguang, this is not unjust enrichment, but a reasonable use of loopholes in the rules, for Zhao Qian, the reason is not a problem, as long as it can be useful.
It is said that Zhao Qian also graduated from finance, and he finally saved 20,000 yuan in the first two years, and tried to buy stocks to see if he could make a fortune. As a result, the school classroom only taught him the market rules of the stock market, and did not teach him that there was such a thing as a dark line operation, and he lost four or five thousand yuan alive, which was equivalent to Zhao's salary in the previous month, and he was so distressed that he didn't want it, this was still the result of him seeing the opportunity early and enduring the pain of cutting his meat, otherwise it would be good to have four or five thousand left.
At first, he thought that he was not good at learning and deserved to lose, but it was not until more than two months ago that the Dali Temple, which specializes in managing the law and discipline of hundreds of officials, eliminated several management predators in the securities market, that he suddenly realized that he would have rotten fingers if he swore to speculate in stocks again.
It's better to leave it to Xiaoguang to operate, make sure you don't lose money, it's none of my business, I didn't speculate in stocks, and it wasn't a violation of my oath, Zhao Qian said shamelessly.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was just white, a round of the rising sun faintly reflected a red line in the sky, it didn't take long for it to erupt, with the golden light of ten thousand ways, a wisp of morning purple gas quickly submerged into Zhao Qian's mouth and nose, Zhao Qian slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, pranayama and finished.
"I can only absorb this wisp of purple qi every day, and there is only a little bit of moonlight in a month, no wonder it is now known as the era of the end of the law, practicing like this for a hundred years, and it can't catch up with the effect of cultivating for a year thousands of years ago, although I am now entering the realm much faster than ordinary people, but it is still not enough, if you want to build a foundation and cultivate true qi as soon as possible, you have to find another way. Zhao Qian frowned, anxious about his entry.
It's been half a month since he returned to Guangfu, Zhao Qian has been closed every day, practicing diligently, and even buying vegetables is online shopping, or letting the property be sent directly to ****.
It has been more than a month since the beginning of the practice, the modern social environment is dirty, the aura of heaven and earth is thin, except for the trace of aura that Xiaoguang absorbs every night, he can only absorb a small amount of daylight purple essence at sunrise in the morning, and there is also the moon essence qi that is only available on the night of the full moon to help cultivate, coupled with the continuous medicinal diet every day, this allowed Zhao Qian to break through to the bright energy, and has touched the edge of the dark energy. Ordinary people need at least three years of hard training to reach Mingjin, and even five or six years for those with slightly poor qualifications, but Zhao Qian's practice to reach the Mingjin high level in just one month is too long.
"Xiaoguang, is there any way to speed up the progress of cultivation?"
"The biggest obstacle for the master now is that the absorbed energy can't keep up with the consumption, although there is medicinal food to help, but it is far from the limit that the master can bear, if it can be assisted by medicinal decoction or even elixir, absorbing medicinal power, it can allow the master to have more time to practice every day, so as to speed up the progress. It's just that now the general medicinal materials are artificially planted, the medicinal effect is too low, and the drug toxicity is greater, it is okay to use it as a medicinal diet, it is not enough to make a medicinal soup, it is best to use real wild medicinal materials. ”
"Then go to the pharmacy first to see if there are any wild medicinal materials, it is best to buy them directly, but it is really not good, I will go to pick them myself, sharpen the knife and cut firewood, and the time spent on collecting medicine can be made up soon." Zhao Qian made up his mind.
Directly down to the underground garage to pick up the car, Zhao Qian prepared to go to the medicinal herb wholesale market to have a look. When he first returned to Guangfu, Zhao Qian bought a red Wrangler, and he had been practicing in retreat some time ago, and the car was parked in the underground garage, and now it is just in use.
Out of the community to turn on the ring highway, it didn't take long to arrive at the largest medicinal material distribution center in Lingnan, Qingping medicinal materials market, under the guidance of Xiaoguang, straight to the Chinese herbal medicine area. Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, Polygonum multiflori, wolfberry...... , All kinds of wild medicinal materials, as long as they can be used, Zhao Qian packed them all back.
This time the purchase, the high-end wild medicinal materials in the nearby shops were almost consumed, the entire rear storage box and the back seat were stuffed, and it also cost Zhao Qian tens of millions, of which more than a dozen decades of medicinal wild ginseng accounted for almost a small half, and the old wild ginseng in the entire market was almost hollowed out, this is still no elixir such as a century-old ginseng, if it weren't for Xiaoguang who has been helping him make money, even if he sold it was not enough.
Back at home, Zhao Qian separated all the medicinal materials, and dosed them according to the prescription provided by Xiaoguang, and finally dispensed a dose of thirty pairs, if it was an ordinary person decoction, a pair of medicinal materials could be repeatedly tormented nine times and used for three days, but Zhao Qian's current physique was ten times stronger than ordinary people, and a pair of medicinal materials was just enough for him to use once.
Take out the two oversized porcelain gallbladder pressure cookers that I just bought by the way, the amount of a pair of medicinal materials is just enough to fill a whole pot, add half an old ginseng as a medicinal guide, fill it with water and boil it for two hours continuously, boil and melt all the medicinal materials, all the medicinal properties are melted into the soup, filter out the residue, and there is a small bowl of black medicinal soup left.
Zhao Qian took the bowl and drank it dry, the decoction entered the abdomen, a hot breath emanated from the stomach, and it filled the whole body in an instant, Zhao Qian only felt that the whole body was hot, and it seemed that there were beads of sweat to emanate from the pores.
At this time, Zhao Qian has been proficient in the Tai Chi leg lift and the big frame, the Tai Chi frame is practiced in the circle, the circle refers to the sky, that is, the movement of the upper body, especially the movement of the hands, and the leg lift is practiced in the square, the square is the ground, that is, the action of the legs. The sky is yang, the earth is yin, one yin and one yang, the square is Tai Chi, and the leg rack began to contact the actual combat techniques, with the Tai Chi luck method that is not passed on, the power is not bad.
In addition to practicing footwork, after being proficient, you can go back and forth under the square table or even a high stool, and there are more movements to practice the circle, the middle frame is to practice the flat circle, the big frame is to practice the vertical circle, the flat circle and the vertical circle constitute a three-dimensional circle, and at the same time combine the effects of the middle frame and the leg frame. To be more specific, Wuji is Taiji, Taiji is winding, winding is back, and Taijiquan is Taijiquan from winding silk to back thread, and Taiji is really getting started.
At this time, Zhao Qian has integrated the square and the circle, between the movement and the static, the true meaning of Tai Chi, the strength of the silk is endless, the blood is all over the body, although there are furniture and sundries hindered, it is still like an open flat ground, not affected at all, sometimes stepping from the table, sometimes from under the chair, no longer sticking to the moves, casually, playing for more than half an hour before finishing work.
Zhao Qian closed his eyes and felt it, a bowl of medicinal soup is equivalent to three days of hard training, the effect is obvious, it is too expensive, poor and rich in martial arts, the ancients did not deceive me.
It's just that these medicinal materials are still too few, only enough for ten days, it seems that you still have to look for elixirs, Zhao Qian frowned and thought.
Generally, wild medicinal materials are grown in the deep mountains and old forests, there are three mountains close to Guangfu, namely Luofu Mountain in eastern Guangdong, Dinghu Mountain in western Guangdong, Danxia Mountain in northern Guangdong, among which Luofu Mountain is the closest, and most importantly, Luofu Mountain has more than 1,200 kinds of herbs, and it is one of the birthplaces of Taoist Waidan, if you can find something like Danfang there, then you can earn it.
On a whim, Zhao Qian simply put all the medicinal materials into the system space, and went out to purchase a full set of wilderness survival equipment, clothing tents and even portable stoves, all of which were stuffed into the system space, and then drove the Wrangler and went straight to Luofu Mountain.
Luofu Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, called "the seventh cave in the world" and "the thirty-first spring source blessed land". Luofu Mountain Range stretches 1500 miles longitudinally and horizontally, the main peak is called Feiyunding, the altitude is 1296 meters, the high altitude overlooks like a thousand-petal lotus flower that blooms with its head in full swing, it has the grand title of "the ancestor of the hundred Yue mountains" and "the first mountain in Lingnan". The myths and legends of Luofu have a long history, when the king of Zhou Ling, the prince of Fuqiu and the prince went to Songshan, and later attained the Tao in Luofu; the Qin Dynasty was born in Luofu to collect and serve the mountain stream iris and lived forever, for Qin Shi Huang's attention and sent envoys to seek the elixir of immortality; in the Han Dynasty, there were Zhu Lingzhi, Yin Changsheng, Huazi Period, Dongguo Yannian, etc., in Luofu Cultivation Soaring...... Many sages have attained the Tao here, so it is known as "Luofu 3,000 Dao, Tao leads to the gods".
But when it comes to the most famous, it is Ge Hong, the ancestor of Taoism and Waidan, who cultivates the true alchemy here and ascends to immortality. Ge Hong called himself "Bao Puzi", hidden in Luofu for more than 30 years, practicing medicine and alchemy, he found and recorded more than 1,200 kinds of herbs here, and completed more than 200 works with concentration, leaving 116 volumes of "Bao Puzi" inside and outside, "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", "Legend of the Immortals", "Jiyi Biography", "Jinkui Prescription" and other masterpieces.
Two hours later, Zhao Qian went out of the high-speed exit, and it didn't take long to arrive at the mountain gate of Luofu Mountain Scenic Area, and after depositing the car in the parking lot of the scenic spot, he went to the gate to buy a ticket to enter the mountain, and walked inside.
Like other ordinary tourists, Zhao Qian took a tourist map, walked while walking, and now the entire front mountain has been developed into a scenic tourist area, full of people coming and going, camera monitoring, not to mention that there are no medicinal materials, even if there is no way to pick, there is no time to travel when I used to work, this time since I arrived here, I simply took a trip by the way.
Luofu Mountain has three mountaineering routes in the south, middle and north, Zhao Qian casually chose the middle of this road, starting from the White Lotus Immortal Tea, passing through Lide Garden to Chongxu Ancient Temple, just outside the view for a circle, do not go into worship God, and then to Ge Hong's mound of clothes, stand in front of the mound of clothes and mourn the sages out of thin air, and then cross the long sky plank road, and no longer walk around, go straight to the top of the flying clouds.
Standing on the top of the flying clouds, looking at the clouds in the deep mountains in the distance, he took a deep breath, took advantage of the fact that no one around him was paying attention, and as soon as his body was short, he disappeared into the bushes.
