Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 4 Success
Snow deer is indeed an extremely expensive ingredient, and this sturdy creature that lives above the mountain snow line has a physical strength that similar populations at low altitudes cannot match, and when they run in the snow, it is almost like flying, and they are as agile as the elves that appear in a dream.
They are a special race that has absorbed some of the ice and snow essence, and they are close to the level of demon beasts. And their flesh, if properly cooked, can greatly enhance the physique of mortals, especially for fertility - male only.
When Wu Xie was in Changning City, he was taken by the late General Xiong Qiuye to some high-end consumption places to see the world, where he saw snow deer soup, meat soup made of venison and deer blood, a palm-sized bowl worth fifty taels of gold, and it was always priceless, and it was sold out every time it appeared!
The snow deer in front of you can stew at least a thousand bowls of that snow deer soup, in other words...... It is more valuable than Wu Jie's original ginseng king!
But...... Compared to the cultivation method, what is this money?
A suitable cultivation method can make mortals become immortals and beasts become monsters, and its value is so high that it has long exceeded the limit that money can measure!
Wu Xie looked at the snow deer, and then at the Lixiao who was demonstrating, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
This demon beast has a heart for the Dao, and that's a good thing. But even if you have the heart of the Dao, you can't easily teach it the Dao Method.
Maybe...... You can ask it if it is interested in leaving the snow-capped mountains and going to live in Qingyang Mountain.
Qingyangguan has always been not afraid to teach the Tao to different people, although it is not a profound method, but it is better than nothing. It's just that before preaching, the patriarchs of the sect must first give them precepts, stipulating what can be done and what cannot be done. They will also be given some work to kill their natural wildness.
In Wu Jie's view, although these Dao-oriented monsters have obtained the coveted Dao method, they have lost their free nature, and the gains and losses may not be very cost-effective.
This is a happy and happy owl in the mountains and wilderness, if you take it to Qingyang Mountain...... Will it really like the calm and quiet life in the mountains?
He hesitated.
"Senior brother, this business can't be done, it's a big loss!" The clay whispered, "It's just a snow deer, we can hunt it ourselves." And even if there is such a snow deer, we won't cook! β
Wu Xie had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and asked the Lixiao who was still trying to "absorb the essence of the sun and the moon": "How did you think of using the snow deer as a gift to ask us for advice?" Did someone point you out? β
He stopped and nodded quickly.
"Who is it?"
Look left and right from the owl and start building snowballs.
It first built a large snow ball, then a small snow ball, and the two snow balls were joined together, and the shape was a bit like a big gourd.
Then it stepped down from the "gourd" in the same human form, made the gesture of raising its head to drink, and made the gesture of cooking vegetables in the shape of a snowdrift out of the stove.
Wu Xie was slightly stunned, and vaguely guessed a few points.
Seeing that Wu Xie didn't seem to understand what he meant, he looked very anxious, and pulled his eyebrows to both sides with his claws, and pulled a pair of mighty tiger eyes into oblique triangular eyes, and his mouth deliberately pouted into a straight line, posing like a cool and dragging.
Wu Xie couldn't help but laugh, and with a wave of his hand, he controlled the snow with his true qi, turning into Zhang Guangli who carried a pot and a wine gourd on his back, and the abandoned swordsman who always looked at people coldly.
"Is it these two?"
Lixiao nodded at first, but then began to shake his head again, tugging at his ears and pulling them up hard, as if trying to lengthen the short tiger ears.
Wu Xie nodded, and turned into the woman with fox ears with his true qi. He is not good at carving, but the appearance of these three people is more distinctive, and the general shape can still be shaped.
"That's it, right?"
The head of the owl clicked quickly.
Wu Xie smiled and said, "It is your creation to meet those two seniors. Since they want you to exchange this snow deer for a cultivation method, then I'll find a cultivation method for you. β
"But before that, bring me a strip of jerky."
Just as he was running away from the owl to look for jerky, the clay asked in a low voice, "Isn't there a whole snow deer, and what else do you want to do with jerky?" β
Wu Xie glanced at the clay strangely, and asked rhetorically: "The rule in your hometown is that a whole deer is used to bind the belly, not a piece of jerky?" β
The clay suddenly realized, and asked again: "Senior brother, where did we get the cultivation method?" β
"Don't worry, I have a way."
Wu Xie said and asked Du Xin in his heart, "Excuse me, did the Great Light God Sect have any cultivation methods specifically for these aliens back then?" β
"Yes." Du Xin replied, "However, the law is not passed on lightly. β
"Does it cost anything?"
"The name of the word 'sincerity', if there is no sincerity, you cannot preach the Fa."
"It's much simpler than our Qingyang view...... this answer didn't exceed Wu Jie's expectations, so he waved his hand again, and created the appearance of the former Holy Heavenly Maiden by his side, and then said to Lixiao, who ran back with a frozen jerky, "If you want to learn the method of cultivation, just apprentice." I can take you as a disciple on behalf of my friends and teach you the Tao. β
Lixiao's fluffy face showed uncontrollable joy, ran to Wu Jie, handed over the jerky, and bowed down.
"It's not me who worships, it's the one next to me!"
Under Wu Jie's reminder, Lixiao turned around again and kowtowed to the ice sculpture of the Holy Heavenly Maiden.
Naturally, this guy can't understand the formal etiquette of apprenticeship, but the horizontal and vertical just mean it, and when it kowtows nine heads, Wu Xie let it get up, and then passed on to it a piece of cultivation method that Du Xin had just passed on to him.
This set of exercises is called "Great Sun Bright Jue", on the one hand, absorb the essence of the sun to refine the true qi, on the other hand, visualize the brilliant sun in the heart to cleanse the soul, can make the demon beast reborn, and wash away its own anger while improving its cultivation, which is a rare Xuanmen magic method.
Wu Xie pondered for a while, estimating that this exercise could probably go up to the second floor of the library building, so he planned to find a reason to dedicate it to the sect in the future.
Du Xin naturally had no opinion on thisβor rather, when she taught Wu Xie the exercises, she had already acquiesced in this matter.
As a disciple of Qingyangguan, it is natural that Wu Xie will hand over the superior exercises he has obtained during his travels to the sect, and most of the vast classics and thousands of exercises in the library building come from this way.
Even though Wu Xie himself probably won't use this exercise, there may be future generations of disciples who will be able to use it in the future, and this is the benefit of having a sect.
For example, Wu Xie is now majoring in the Lingxiao Fire Department Fa, and in the preface at the beginning, it is said that it was a patriarch of the sect with the Taoist name "Kaguya" who killed the Heavenly Realm Fighting God and snatched it. And the first "Honggu" patriarch who was successful in cultivating this set of exercises joined the Doushen Organization after ascending...... It's a bit of a mess, and the preface is vague. But all in all, this supreme divine skill did not fall from the sky, and like the Great Sun Light Method, it was handed in by the disciples in the sect.
Lixiao got the coveted exercise and happily ran to practice, while Wu Xie took matters into his own hands and began to cut the snow deer.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?"
"Cut it while it's still fresh, pick some delicious parts and go back to give everyone a taste."
"Why don't you eat some now, I remember that drinking raw deer blood is a great tonic!"
Wu Xie was noncommittal and handed over Xuelu to him.
After a while, he burped the clay that had drunk a belly of deer blood, and sat weakly on the ice and gasped.
"Uh...... Legend...... Belch...... It's unreliable...... Belch! β
The legend is certainly reliable, but for the things that mortals make up for the great, it is useless for the innate monk of clay. So the deer blood he drank was only used to make him eat it.
Soon after, the sun gradually set, and Lixiao, who had completed his first cultivation, came back with a red face, and gestured to invite Wu Xie and them to rest in his cave.
The cave was sadly shabby, but fortunately it was clean and tidy, and there were no things such as animal bones and bird droppings, which showed that this monster beast usually loves to be clean.
After a night's rest, Wu Xie and the others told Lixiao about their intentions, and then searched for the Ice Spirit Xuehua under the leadership of this snowy mountain head snake.
I have to say, it's a good thing to have a guide! Lixiao was as familiar with the snow-capped mountains as his own yard, and soon found a deep ice gap according to Wu Jie's requirements.
They went deep along the ice crevasse, walking for about two or three hundred feet, and finally found a thick block of light blue ice in the deepest part of the ice crevice.
This is the product of the combination of ice essence, the essence of ice and snow and the power of the earth's veins, it is far colder than what thousand-year-old ice jade Xuanbing, as long as a piece the size of a fingernail can freeze a large vat of water tightly. If you throw this piece in front of you into the water, you might be able to freeze a slightly smaller lake.
According to the introduction in the notes of the seniors, Wu Xie and the clay took most of the ice essences, but did not move the ones closest to the ground.
As long as this part of the ice essence is still there, it can continue to absorb the essence of ice and snow and the power of the earth's leylines and grow slowly. Although the growth rate is not fast, after a hundred years, it will be a big piece.
Fishing without drying up is the principle of decent Chinese people collecting natural materials and treasures. If everyone sees good things and reaps them all in one go, then it won't be long before these good things are exhausted, and all that is left for the disciples of future generations is the empty world realm.
If that's really the case, maybe the disciples of later generations will look at the "extinct" marked on the back of the various treasures on the illustrated book, and jump to their feet and scold the ancestors for scraping the ground is too unkind......
With this piece of ice essence, Wu Xie and the clay left the snow mountain and returned to Qingyang Mountain. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Lixiao to concentrate on cultivation and not to cause trouble everywhere.
If you take this guy back to the master now, the origin of the exercises is not very easy to compile. So let's wait for my own cultivation to progress in the future, and I can open up my own cave outside.
Anyway, as long as the cultivator can open up the cave by himself, with his current path, it will probably not be too far from that step......
Back at Xianshan, they took a short break and then came to the refining workshop to continue working. This time everything went well, and when the red-burned ring was thrown into the Ice Spirit, it didn't make a violent sound, but with a gentle "click", the ring returned to silence.
Wu Xie wrapped the ring with true qi and took it out of the ice essence, only to see that this golden ring was full of light, like a small sun, forcing people to almost can't open their eyes.
He threw his true qi into the ring, and instead of touching the seed of the divine fire, he walked around the runes inside the ring, which made up for the most missing step of this magic weapon, and it suddenly made a sound like the striking of a bell chime, and it made five consecutive sounds in one breath.
Accompanied by Qing Yue's voice, I saw that its light suddenly converged and turned into a dark gold color, thick but not dazzling, revealing a sense of simplicity and calmness.
It was only at this time that the artifact was completely completed.
