Tianyun Seeking Dao Chapter 5 Entering Fang City for the first time

Three days later, Han Nuo had already arrived somewhere about two hundred miles north of Anfeng City. He didn't find any place that looked like a market, so he had to find a farmer's house to spend the night. Huang Han's reminder to him was useful, at least he was now on guard against others, including Huang Han, of course. So lately he had been walking as a mortal, dressed in ragged coarse cloth and carrying the shabby cloak on his back, which was very unobtrusive.

The village where the farmhouse is located is one of the villages that benefited from the digging of wells in the past. Li Zheng recognized Han Nuo at a glance, and while being surprised that he was so depressed even though he had been paid a thousand gold, he warmly invited him to his home as a guest. Han Nuo didn't refuse, and happened to have a few drinks with Li.

When Li Zheng heard that he had given up a thousand taels of silver for a book of immortal breaking art in the old Taoist's hand, his face was full of puzzlement, but he still told Han Nuo about some nearby legends that might be related to immortal cultivators.

One is that there is a dense forest to the north of the village, there is nothing terrible in this forest, and there is no strange fog, but people who enter it will be inexplicably lost, and finally it takes several days to come out, so this forest is called the Lost Forest.

The second is that the dense forest is about ten miles to the north, there will be a river, with this river as the boundary, it is a forest garden of the royal family, it is said that its place is a hundred miles in circles, and there are rare and exotic beasts in it, which is specially used for the royal family to hunt and gallop. But Rizheng lived for more than 50 years and never heard of a royal family hunting here. Therefore, some people speculate that the royal family gave the land to a certain sect on the grounds of Lin Yuan, but because no one has ever dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool, it is just a legend.

After listening to the two legends that Li Zheng was telling, Han Nuo immediately understood, this place was clearly marked with a map to mark a circle for him, and the location of the big sect and the fang market near the big sect was so clear and clear. In fact, if you think about it, the world is not the king's land, how can there be so many big sects but you can't find your whereabouts. It's just that someone deliberately enclosed these places to prevent ordinary people from entering.

And those who enforce the enclosure are often those in the know.

Han Nuo got up and saluted Li Zheng and thanked the other party solemnly. And the other party hurriedly returned the salute, saying that Han Nuo's benefit to the people was beyond retribution, and if there was an immortal in the world who treated the people as people, I am afraid it would be on Han Nuo.

At night, Han Nuo lay in the room and couldn't sleep, he thought about the right words over and over again. There are many immortal cultivators in this world, their purpose is immortality, and for this purpose, they can even do things to kill people and seize treasures, as for those ordinary people, they regard them as ants. This is also the reason why there are obviously many immortal cultivators in this world, but there is no progress in the development of science and technology. If this is the case, what he has learned can be used for the benefit of the people of this world.

However, he did not dare to share his skills with the world easily. The reason why mortals have room to live is precisely because they are as weak as ants. If there is suddenly some kind of technology in this world that can compete with the power of immortal cultivation, will those immortals who have no desire and no desire sit back and watch it develop and grow, and even threaten their existence? Thinking of this, Han Nuo sighed, being an immortal who treats ordinary people as people? Maybe it's a bit idealistic.

After all, for Han Nuo at this time, cultivating to the point where he could unlock the secret of the disc and return to Earth was the right thing. Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the moonlight in front of the window.

The secrets of the disc have been being explored. But because he didn't know how to drive, he could only use its copy function temporarily. The only items that this disc can replicate appear to be carbohydrates, presumably related to the raw materials it needs.

Hanno treats it as an atomic analysis machine, which analyzes the structure of the existing items on the disk, and then uses the raw materials present near the disk to assemble the exact same item by recombining the atoms. This idea prompted Han Nuo to do two experiments recently.

The first experiment was about the transformation of energy in the process of material transformation. Because the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates involves a process of energy storage, but plants rely on photosynthesis to store sunlight, and this disk seems to be able to convert the energy of moonshine as well.

The props for this experiment were recently obtained by Han Nuo. He took out two stone-like objects from his arms, which were some kind of mineral currency circulating in the immortal cultivation realm of this world, called spirit stones.

It is said that the spirit stone contains spiritual energy, and some high-level immortal cultivators can absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone when the spiritual energy is insufficient. Through the spirit stone, Han Nuo studied and understood the essence of cultivating immortals. He called it the battery theory.

When cultivating immortals, people inhale the true qi of heaven and earth into their bodies, forming gaseous or liquid, or even solid substances at the dantian, which can store a certain amount of spiritual power, and spiritual power is the source of mana. This method of using and modifying the body structure so that the body can store energy, and using it, is like a battery in Hanno's view.

Therefore, the function of the spirit stone is to use it as an external battery for temporary charging when the power in the body is insufficient. Then, in this way, the spirit stone is just some kind of carrier that can store spiritual power.

And the two spirit stones in Han Nuo's hand, one was unused, and the surface emitted a faint light, this spirit stone was given to him by the Wind Dao people, so that he could know what the currency of the Immortal Cultivation Realm looked like. The other piece was found somewhere recently, and the spiritual power in it had long since been depleted, and the surface was gray and gloomy.

Han Nuo got up and put the hat in front of the window, placing the disc in the moonlight, and then placed the two spirit stones together in the center of the disc. He stared intently at the two spirit stones, but after about twenty minutes, both spirit stones emitted a pale blue light, and Han Nuo took them out, only to find that they didn't look much different.

Judging from the results, Han Nuo confirmed that his theory was correct, the spirit stone is only a carrier of energy storage, and the upper limit of its energy storage should be related to the internal structure of the ore, so that the spirit stone will be divided into high, medium and low levels. The most important thing is that this disc really has the function of charging. In this way, Han Nuo may have to look at the ground more when he walks in the future, and he may pick up the money at any time.

The second experiment is about the raw materials needed for the atomic reconstitution process. The reason why so far, the items that the disc can replicate are only carbohydrates. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the replica contains material that cannot be obtained from the air by the disc.

Therefore, this time Han Nuo's experiment was an unknown elixir that he had bought from a stall. The method of the experiment is very simple, first put the pill into the disc, and then sprinkle a small pinch of soil into the disc.

The reason why the pill should be put into the disc first is because Han Nuo believes that the principle of replication of this disc should be to scan the internal structure of the item that needs to be copied first, and then reconstruct it. If you put both at the same time, I'm afraid the disc won't be able to tell which item should be copied.

The experiment lasted for a long time, and Han Nuo fell asleep on his stomach at the table before he could see the results. He didn't sleep long, though, for a sudden palpitation woke him up.

After waking up, Han Nuo took out the pill in the hat in front of him without the slightest hesitation, shook off the sand and put it on his head, and then grabbed the bag that was placed on the bedside and hurried out the door.

Not long after he came out of Lizheng's house, the dogs in the village began to bark, and one dog barked causing another dog to bark, and after a while, all the dogs in the village barked. At this time, the lights in the main room were on, and the lights in several houses were on.

Seeing this, Han Nuo immediately ran towards the north of the village. Although he had only broken through the first order of qi refining, his strengthened body because of the Ben Immortal Fruit made him walk like a fly, and it didn't take long for him to come to the vicinity of the dense forest that Li Zheng said.

Just as Han Nuo wanted to continue to move forward into the dense forest, a blue light rushed towards his head with the momentum of stealing the bell, only to hear the sound of the 'bell', and the blue light was bounced away. Han Nuo realized that something was wrong at this time, and looked up at the blue light.

"Huh!" Qingguang quickly flew in one direction, and with an exclamation, a black shadow flashed in that direction. Seeing that he couldn't get a single blow, the black shadow immediately waved his hands and prepared to launch a second round of attacks, but when he heard a 'poof' sound, the black shadow stopped what he was doing and knelt down.

"This is ......" The black shadow looked in Han Nuo's direction in surprise, only to see Han Nuo raising his right arm towards him, and a short arrow stuck in his chest. Not good, toxic! The dark shadow realized that his tempered body was actually gradually numb, and realized the seriousness of the problem. It stands to reason that if it was just an ordinary arrow, with his cultivation, it would be no problem to survive, but the poison on this arrow made him lose his ability to resist quickly.

It turned out that although Han Nuo didn't have the opportunity to learn any combat-type exercises, everyone had the fear of death. So while working in a blacksmith's shop, he used his mechanical knowledge to tailor a set of sleeve crossbows that could fire short arrows, which could be loaded in advance and had an effective range of twenty meters. There is also a mechanism on the short arrow, and there is a barb near the arrow, and once it hits the target, the barb will be resisted and a small hole will open, and the poison hidden inside the hollow arrow will flow out. And the poison in it is nothing else, it is the water in the Maoxian River.

Han Nuo came to the black shadow, carefully identified it by the moonlight, and finally confirmed that the other party was Huang Han. This guy kept saying that he wanted Han Nuo to beware of his fellow people who killed people and grabbed treasures, but he didn't expect that he would personally go into battle and teach Han Nuo a lesson.

Han Nuo didn't have much compassion, and after groping around with it, he got a bag-like item, and the blue light came from a strange Dao talisman. After Han Nuo stuffed the two items into his bag, he quickly pulled out the short arrow inserted in Huang Han's chest, and then left, the water of the Immortal River gradually seeped out of Huang Han's body, forming a small cloud of mist-like poisonous gas in the dark night, and it didn't take long for Huang Han's body to disappear into the wind out of thin air.

In fact, this water of the Immortal River is an unsolved mystery in Han Nuo's heart, it is not toxic in the sun, but it can poison all animals at night, and even make its bones disappear. If he had access to a set of chemical equipment, he might have been able to analyze the chemical composition of the river's water, which is now only a free poison.

For the short arrows that are pulled, Han Nuo's treatment method is to first place them in a bamboo tube, and then plug the mouth of the bamboo tube with a plug cut from the stalk of the reed-like plant next to the Maoxian River, and wait until the sun is exposed to the sun during the day, and then wash it with wine, and then inject river water after cleaning. At this time, the sleeve crossbow has been loaded with a replacement short arrow.

After doing all this, Han Nuo found a big tree at the entrance of the dense forest and climbed it. The situation in the dense forest is unknown, and for him now, it is better to stay until dawn than to enter immediately.

In this way, Han Nuo meditated on the tree until dawn, and only when the first rays of sunlight shone into the forest did he get up and go into the forest. And before he got up, he tied something to his wrist.

It is a homemade portable compass made of wood made of a disc with an arch above it, and the magnetic needle is hung in the middle of the arch by a thin silk thread, and the scale on the disc indicates the bearing. The southeast, north, and west of this world are the same as on Earth, and the sun rises from the east. The only difference is that there are two suns in this world, and there seems to be some kind of huge gravitational pull between them, making them rotate like dumbbells.

With the experience of riding in the wilderness, Han Nuo skillfully used the compass to determine the direction, and he continued to advance into the depths of the dense forest until he came to a large tree.

This big tree was extremely strange, it was blocking the direction of Han Nuo's progress, Han Nuo tried to go around the big tree several times, but as long as he bypassed it, the compass showed the opposite direction. And when Han Nuo tried to climb the tree, he found that there seemed to be some kind of force that prevented him from touching it.

Helpless, Han Nuo had no choice but to climb a certain tree behind him, and then sat quietly and waited. And this wait is three days.

Three days later, in the early morning, Han Nuo was awakened by a gust of wind. He immediately sat up straight, looked up at the sky, and saw an old man with long hair floating in the sky. The person who came looked left and right for a moment, and immediately glanced up in Han Nuo's direction. "What are you doing here?"

Han Nuo immediately jumped down from the tree and saluted forward: "Please forgive the seniors for being rude, I entered the immortal path at the beginning of the next year, and I want to enter the Fang City to see the world, but I don't know how to enter, so I am here as a guest on the branch." ”

The old man glanced at Han Nuo, shook his head and said, "With Daoist cultivators, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to come here." Do you have anything good to trade? ”

"Not really." Han Nuo took out a pill from his arms, "Actually, I want to see what this pill is, and if I can exchange it for some money." ”

The old man took a closer look at it, "This is just a broken Divine Healing Pill, the medicinal effect is just to refresh the mind, and it is not beneficial to cultivation, where did you get it?" ”

"I bought it at a stall and it cost five cents." Han Nuo said embarrassedly.

"Hahahaha, your little friend is interesting, and the things you buy with silver dare to be sold in Xiuxianfang City." The old man laughed for a while, "Then do you have any spirit stones?" If so, I have some pills here that are useful for the Qi refining period and can be traded with you. ”

Han Nuo nodded when he heard this, and took out the two spirit stones from his arms. When the other party saw him take out such a little spirit stone, he couldn't help laughing again. "I'm glad you met me, little friend, otherwise you wouldn't have gained anything on this trip. For your very interesting sake, the old man will take you to the market for a walk and see the world. As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his sleeve and threw it in the direction of the tree, and after a while, the tree turned into a bubble, and a path appeared in the original position of the shadow.

The old man didn't care about it, and walked forward on his own, and Han Nuo immediately followed behind him. As soon as the figures of the two of them were submerged in it, the road behind them was blocked by a big tree again.

As soon as he entered the inside, Han Nuo realized that there was a cave here. Instead of the dense forest outside, it is a wide street lined with shops with signs indicating their main business. Han Nuo looked at this strange scene and realized that he had finally officially entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The old man looked at Han Nuo, who looked like a countryman entering the city, and shook his head. "Little friend, you're going to do your own business here, you must pay attention to safety here, if it's not necessary, don't cause any trouble. Did you know? ”

"Yes, yes." Han Nuo immediately nodded and thanked the old man, who looked at him uncomfortably and shook his head. "I've seen loose cultivation, but I've never seen a loose cultivation like you. I have a bottle of pill suitable for the Qi refining period here, there are less than ten left, two spirit stones for you, do you want it? As he spoke, the old man took out a bottle from his sleeve.

Han Nuo saw the medicine bottle in the other party's hand, thought about it in his heart, and took out the only two spirit stones on his body and handed them to the old man. The old man smiled and took the spirit stone, put the medicine bottle in Han Nuo's hand, and walked away.

Han Nuo got the medicine bottle, weighed it, and was satisfied.

Next, Han Nuo went around this Fang City for a long time. He figured out that the items traded in the market mainly included runes, medicines, magic weapons, spirit beasts, etc. Although most of the shopkeepers saw that his cultivation was low and he had no property on him, they were disgusted and unwilling to answer him. But he still got some useful information from a few Daoists who set up stalls, such as the Benxian Fruit he gave away was actually worth hundreds of spirit stones, and the monthly salary of an ordinary sect's Qi refining stage monk was only two or three spirit stones.

And the other news is about those strange Taoist symbols. It turns out that in this world, the Dao Talisman is very useful because it is different from the ghost peach talisman drawn by the gods on the earth. Talisman makers can seal some of the spells they have mastered in the runes, and later use their spiritual power to drive the Dao runes to cast spells. In this way, as long as you have the power to drive the Dao Talisman, you can use spells.

The advent of talisman making made the use of spells easy and unhurried, and could cover the needs of the vast majority of low-end cultivators. Therefore, Dao Fu is mainly divided into offensive type, defensive type, and auxiliary type. And Han Nuo thinks that he is in great need of some Dao talismans right now. But after understanding, he found that he couldn't afford such a high consumption at the moment, because Dao charms were very expensive.

Han Nuo didn't understand why the Immortal Fruit and Dao Talisman, which were most useful to Qi Refining Stage cultivators, were so expensive at first, after all, Qi Refining Stage cultivators were often very poor. It wasn't until he saw an elder spending money for the juniors of his family that he realized who these things were really aimed at.

Of course, he also knew that the pills had a map, and as long as he checked the map, he could know the uses of various pills. This knowledge shocked him a little, but if you think about it carefully, different materials of materials will inevitably form different patterns after refining in different ways.
