Chapter 21 Transcription of Danfang
The area of Hejiazhuang is not small, but when He Yiming entered Xujiabao, he knew that Xujiabao was far larger than Hejiazhuang.
However, today, when he rode a tall horse under the leadership of Xie Mingjin and galloped in the Xie Mansion, he knew that it was in this kind of wealthy family that had been inherited for thousands of years that was the real extreme.
Of course, if the fields that can be cultivated in Xujiabao are also counted, it should exceed the area of Xie Fu. But when it comes to the area of residence, the number of rooms, architecture, decoration, etc., then the three major families in Taicang County are really difficult to match.
Xie Mingjin jumped off his horse in a heavily guarded courtyard, although he was a well-known young master in Xie Mansion, but after coming here, those guards did not sell his account, until he took out the gold medal, these people respectfully let him go.
The strictness of the law enforcement of the Xie Mansion attendants can be seen from this.
There are more than a dozen rooms in this courtyard, and each room has a row of small letters written on it. Xie Mingjin didn't hesitate, took him straight to a room with Jin Dan written on it, pushed the door in.
Looking at his movements, he is quite familiar with this place, and it is estimated that Xie Nuanyi has brought him here many times.
Entering the room, He Yiming's heart was greatly surprised, in this room there were actually two bookcases full of books, some of these books are old, some are new, and there are even some legendary bamboo slips, this method of recording words has long been eliminated eight hundred years ago. Perhaps only in these families that have been passed down for thousands of years will there be such antiques.
His eyes swept over the second bookcase, and his heart suddenly flooded with bitterness. It really deserves to be a big family with a thousand-year-old inheritance, and there are so many books about Jin Dan alone, how can he read it.
He made this request just to get some prescription on how to refine the inner pill into the golden pill, but it was not easy to find what he wanted in so many books.
Just when he was secretly worried, he saw Xie Mingjin quickly come to the bookcase and asked, "Brother He, do you want to learn from scratch, or just want to refine the golden pill." ”
He Yiming was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the difference." ”
"If you want to start from scratch, then you have to start reading a complete set of introductory books, and after reading about one-fifth of the books in the collection here, and comprehending them thoroughly, you will probably be able to become a teacher. ”
He Yiming shook his head without thinking, he didn't have so much spare time.
"If you don't want to master all the knowledge, then you only have to know a little bit about the classification and function of Jindan, as for the prescription of Jindan, it depends on your rote memorization. Xie Mingjin said with a solemn face: "You can read the prescription here at will, but you can't copy it." ”
He Yiming nodded understandingly, if people were willing to take out the Jindan prescription to show him, it would already be a great favor, if they still had to be copied inch by inch, I was afraid that it would immediately arouse people's disgust.
However, he also understood why Xie Nuanhang was so generous, if it was just from memory, he could remember a few prescriptions, at most dozens of pairs, it would be amazing. But the dozens of prescriptions are nothing compared to the books in this room. People also understand this truth, so they are happy to be generous.
"Brother Xie, I'll just read some books on the uses and prescriptions of Jindan. ”
"Good. Xie Mingjin stood in front of the bookcase, thought for a moment, and finally pulled out a few books from it, and said, "These are the most important things, you understand them first." ”
He Yiming took it and nodded gratefully to him, if he wasn't here, he really didn't know how to start.
Xie Mingjin suddenly came up, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother He, take your time, I'll go out and get you something good." ”
He Yiming replied casually, but he didn't understand what was good.
After Xie Mingjin went out, He Yiming opened the first book, and from the first side, it began to describe the various uses of Jin Dan and how to distinguish them.
It turns out that there are many types of golden pills, each of which has a different effect, in addition to the extreme golden pill that can make people easily surpass the limit and break the barrier, there is also a kind of golden pill that cultivators dream of.
This kind of gold pill is called energy gold pill, once taken it, it can increase a lot of energy in the human body, and the increase in energy indicates that there is more internal strength that can be transformed. Although this kind of golden pill that can significantly speed up the cultivation speed is not as precious as the previous one, it is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, due to the scarcity of the spirit beast Inner Pill, even if the Inner Pill is obtained, it is the first consideration to refine the Extreme Golden Pill that can break through the limit barrier, and as for the Energy Golden Pill, at most it is to use some scraps to refine it. But even so, if there is energy Jindan on the market, it will be snatched up in an instant, and it is an absolutely in-demand commodity with no price.
In addition, there are some golden pills that are also vaguely introduced, but the effects of these golden pills are varied.
Some can quickly stop bleeding, some can treat internal injuries, and some even defend against plague and poisonous miasma, in short, it was a mess, which made He Yiming dizzy and simply gave up.
After turning a few pages, He Yiming suddenly saw a description of the role of the Extreme Golden Pill.
After looking at it carefully, he was secretly surprised in his heart.
This author also uses a water tank as a metaphor for the human body, and every time the acquired strong person exercises to a certain level, the water in the water tank reaches the limit, and it is impossible to increase it again.
At this time, if you want to continue to improve your strength, you must expand the capacity of the water tank, that is, to increase your internal strength cultivation level even more. It's just that if you want to do this, although it is not as difficult as advancing to the innate realm, it is not an easy task.
And the biggest effect of the Extreme Jin Dan is shown here.
Once you take the Extreme Golden Pill, what increases in your body is no longer energy, but directly increases your internal strength.
The internal strength in the body has already reached the limit, as long as it is increased a little more, it is the biggest opportunity to break through. In this case, if you can open up the closed meridians in one go, it will be a matter of course and you can advance to the next stage.
However, if the meridians cannot be opened, then this little inner energy will slowly lose its vitality and eventually dissipate outside the body.
It is also specifically noted that the effect of Jindan is closely related to the quality of Jindan and the age of the user.
The better the quality of the golden pill, the greater the possibility of success in rushing through the level, and the younger the user, the more sufficient the vitality of the user, and the possibility of breaking the level is also great.
However, there is no absolute saying in everything, and whether or not you can succeed ultimately depends on the individual's will, etc., and it cannot be generalized.
After reading these contents, He Yiming's heart was really admired, although he didn't know who the author was, but he must also be a respected senior.
Suddenly, the closed door opened, and Xie Mingjin walked in generously, and then gave him an inexplicable look.
He Yiming turned his head suspiciously, his face full of puzzlement.
Xie Mingjin closed them, came to him, took out something from his arms, He Yiming's eyes widened, and he looked at him dumbfounded, completely speechless.
It turned out that Xie Mingjin brought some pen, ink and paper.
Suddenly, He Yiming understood what the good things in his mouth were.
The rule here is that you can only see it, not copy it. Then he can record twenty or thirty prescriptions when he is full, which is already remarkable.
But now that I have pen, ink and paper, I don't dare to say that I have recorded all the prescriptions, but if I record one hundred and eighty copies, there should be no problem.
He Yiming lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xie, you ......"
Xie Mingjin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, anyway, it's a waste to put these prescriptions here, you copied them, just so that you can carry them forward." ”
He Yiming was stunned for a moment and said, "If you put it here, how can it be wasted?"
"Of course it's a waste, this time you are also on the mountain, and you have seen the power of the spirit beast. Think about it, besides you, how many other people are able to hit the spirit beasts and take their inner pills. Xie Mingjin sighed and said: "Our Xie family's thousand-year-old collection, there are so many books, and the elixir refining methods recorded in them are at least hundreds, but they may not be able to open the furnace once in decades, if it falls into your hands, it may be possible to use it many times." ”
He Yiming pondered for a moment, but had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense.
It's just that in front of others, copying what he learned at home, this kind of thing is indeed the first time he has encountered it, and even he is extremely reluctant to go in his heart.
If Xie Mingjin was not so enthusiastic, but forcibly recorded it with He Yiming's memory, he would not have any burden in his heart, but now that Xie Mingjin secretly provided paper and pen, it would be another matter.
Sighing lightly, He Yiming's heart finally made a decision, he glanced at Xie Mingjin deeply, stretched out his hand, and said, "Okay, then I will admit it." ”
Xie Mingjin put the pen and paper on the table, then turned to leave. In the distance, he saw Xie Nuanyi outside the courtyard, nodded and smiled at his father, Xie Nuanyi turned around, and left suddenly.
Although Xie Mingjin was very bold, how could he dare to give the pen and paper to He Yiming easily without the permission of the elders in the clan.
Even if it is indeed as he said, these golden pill prescriptions seem to be precious, but in fact, in the case of the lack of spirit beast inner pills, they actually do not have much practical value, and they can be regarded as typical chicken ribs. But even if it's chicken ribs, it's not something that can be passed on casually by him.
However, since his father had told him so, he had no choice but to do it, and he understood that it was his father who was giving him grace through his own hand, and that it was no longer the family that would enjoy this reward in the future, but himself.
His personality may not be suitable to be the head of the family, but he is not stupid, and he can still see this thing clearly.
※※※※
Two days later, He Yiming finally left the Jindan library.
Xie Mingjin found the book, he read it in detail, and copied the golden pill refining method that reached one hundred copies. He found that in the Jindan refining method here, there were requirements for the spirit beast Neidan. Among them, there are several kinds of golden pills, and they are also extremely harsh on the year and species of the spirit beast.
However, these kinds of golden pills are no longer used by the powerhouses of the acquired realm, according to the records in the book, this is something that can only be used by the powerhouses of the innate realm, if the cultivators of the acquired realm take it, then what awaits them is not a surge in internal strength, but an explosion and death.
He Yiming had a lot of confidence in himself, and he firmly believed that he would definitely be able to enter the innate realm, so he would easily copy these golden pill prescriptions.
In the end, he casually flipped through the library cabinet and found that although the things recorded in it were slightly different, most of them were included in a few books selected by Xie Mingjin.
As for the Jindan prescriptions, they are basically all among those books, and it can be said that these books can be called the most valuable books in the entire room.
At this point, his gratitude to Xie Mingjin has become more and more layered.
In the past two days, no one has brought him food, because everyone knows that with a master of ten-layer internal strength, let alone two days, even if he doesn't drink or eat for three or five, it won't be a big deal.
It's just that the moment he left this room, someone immediately notified Xie Mingjin.
"Brother He, have you finished reading it all?" Xie Mingjin deliberately accentuated his tone when he asked about this sentence.
"Yes. He Yiming nodded slightly, giving him a smile that understood each other.
The two walked out of the courtyard side by side, Xie Mingjin sighed lightly, and said, "Brother He, I didn't expect you to finish reading those books so quickly, I thought you would need at least four days, I would have picked a few more for you if I knew it." ”
He Yiming waved his hand and said, "Brother Xie, I understand your kindness, in fact, I am already satisfied with today's harvest." ”
"It's fine. Xie Mingjin took him back to his courtyard, ordered the wine and food to be cleaned up, and said, "You have a day off, starting tomorrow, I will take you to the clothing hall to have a look, and then go to the alchemy room." All the materials have been prepared, and three days later it will be an auspicious day, and the seventh uncle will also open the furnace for alchemy, and we just happened to go to the scene to observe. ”
He Yiming's heart was moved, he had already obtained the Dan Fang, and recorded the entire process of alchemy. If you watch the process of alchemy again, then you can also try it. Of course, he also understands that alchemy is a technical job, and it is definitely not so easy to draw a gourd in the same way. However, after watching it with your own eyes and imagining it out of thin air, it is still different after all.
With a twist of thought, he asked, "What is the place in the garment hall?"
"That's the place in the family that specializes in making leather clothes, don't underestimate it, all the leather goods that go out of our clothing hall are treasures that cannot be changed outside. Xie Mingjin said proudly.
He Yiming asked in surprise: "What is the special use of your nitrate leather clothes?"
"Yes, our nitrate leather coat is not only made of nitrate, but also contains a lot of precious medicinal materials, if you wear it often, it will have a great improvement effect on the body. But I'm bringing you there for your long-armed raccoon dog. This guy's skin is extremely tough, invulnerable to wear, and has a strong contraction. I have decided on your behalf to make a set of underwear and leather armor, which can be worn closely, not only can play a protective role, but also has the benefits of being warm in winter and cool in summer and regulating body temperature. ”
He Yiming couldn't help but be slightly moved, and said, "With such a magical function, can't you refine a few more?"
Xie Mingjin said helplessly: "Brother He, how big is a long-armed raccoon dog, even if the skin that can be used by the whole body is pulled out, it is only enough for a person's underwear." If you can slaughter another ten or eight heads, I can make a few more for you. ”
He Yiming was stunned, and then laughed dumbly, the two long-armed raccoon dogs were already the only spirit beasts he had encountered in months, and where did he go to find ten heads and eight heads, this was really a joke.
The next day, they went to the garment hall, and He Yiming saw a set of soft, straightened underwear that had been cut and stretched upright, soaked in some unknown liquid.
According to Xie Mingjin's words, it will take a month to completely refine this set of underwear, which is why Xie Nuanyi agreed with him for a month.
Three days later, they took the gold medal and entered the most heavily guarded alchemy room in the Xie Mansion.
The Xie family's alchemy room is in a huge courtyard covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and there are dozens of Dan rooms in it, but the one with the best conditions is undoubtedly the first one.
After they entered this No. 1 alchemy room, there were already two medicine boys of the same age as them, wearing Taoist robes, who were silently tidying up the room.
Seeing them enter, these two medicine boys also ignored them, and did not please Xie Mingjin because of his identity.
Xie Mingjin pulled him to sit down on two chairs in the room, which were facing a huge medicine furnace. The furnace body is plain, there is no carving, and there is no decoration around it, but it is such a medicine furnace that seems to be extremely plain, but it has a heavy sense of vicissitudes, which makes He Yiming understand that this thing is only afraid that it has a lot of origin.
Not long after, an old man with white hair entered the room, and the two medicine boys immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.
Xie Mingjin also jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire, and said, "Uncle Tai, you are finally here." ”
Lao Dao nodded slightly, glanced at He Yiming's body, and said: "This is Mr. He, it is really a young and promising young man, Lao Dao is grateful for Zhien, it is no wonder that he is sluggish." ”
He Yiming hurriedly got up and said a few words of humility.
Xie Zhien laughed and said, "Young people are interested in alchemy, that's a good thing. However, for us cultivators, if we want to achieve something in alchemy, then there is another prerequisite. ”
He Yiming raised his eyebrows and said, "Please ask." ”
"Ordinary pill refining, ordinary people can also do it. However, the more precious and rare the elixir refined, the higher the requirements for the refiner. For example, if the golden pill refined for you today is handed over to ordinary people, then the success rate will never exceed fifty percent, but the old way can reach as many as eight layers. ”
He Yiming's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked respectfully, "May I ask why this is?"
"It's very simple, because Lao Dao is a dual cultivator of fire and wood. ”
