Chapter 1 Cultivating the elixir of life at the beginning
There is a barren mountain in the country of Vietnam, the name is called: Chicken Paw Mountain, so it is said that there is a special alchemy vein in this mountain, which attracts countless people who do good things to find, but unfortunately, no one has ever really found this alchemy vein.
Over time, the world thought it was a lie, so no one came to look for it, and the once lively Chicken Paw Mountain finally became desolate......
There is a remote stone cave in the mountain, the entrance of the cave is only a large head, deep and cramped, but if you peep into more than 30 zhang, you can find a small grotto, here is the alchemy vein that the world has been looking for for a long time: [Danding faction]!
Inside the grotto.
Rich and messy smells fill every inch of space, some smells are extremely sweet, some smells are disgusting to the point of disgusting, and many more smells even exceed the upper limit of normal people's sense of smell, which is simply indescribable.
A half-person high three-legged tripod furnace stands on the ground, there is no firewood spontaneously combusted under the ding, the firepower is both civil and military, the furnace gurgles and boils non-stop, the strange smoke of dusk rises from the furnace, and the source of the strange smell of the grotto lies in this.
And the firelight under the furnace illuminated the surroundings, and also illuminated the middle-aged Taoist who was sitting cross-legged to himself not far from the hearth:
"Yang drugs can be used to cure yin drugs, and with this medicine with extreme yang attributes, it should be able to relieve yin poison ......"
"The forty-ninth generation of the ancestor is above, bless the disciple to become a Dan once, if the elixir of life is refined this time, the disciple will definitely go down the mountain to let the Danding faction carry forward!"
"The West Heaven understands that the Buddha is above, so that Dan Dao is great again!"
“……”
After asking for the blessing of the ancestral master, the Taoist Zhang Ran sighed leisurely:
"With so many rare treasures, if this furnace pill is refined and wasted, the savings of the forty-nine generations of the Danding Sect will really be ruined by the poor Dao!"
Zhang Ran is not from Yueguo, not even from this world, he comes from a planet called Blue Star.
More than 20 years ago, Zhang Ran accidentally crossed into this different world with an ancient martial arts background, and thought that he was about to start a journey of happiness and revenge, but who knew that he had not even practiced this third-rate internal skill, and he was unlucky to be kidnapped by a crazy old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest claimed to be the forty-ninth generation descendant of the Daomen [Danding faction], because Zhang Ran had great luck, and he came to accept him as a disciple.
What kind of!
Zhang Ran didn't believe in this Taoist priest's god-like words at all, but after the other party showed him a slap and broke the boulder, Zhang Ran also had to bow his head and say that the master was really cowhide......
After Zhang Ran obediently followed the old Taoist priest to this chicken paw mountain, he learned all kinds of knowledge every day.
Such as the identification of medicinal materials, the analysis of medicinal properties, the collection of medicines, the alchemy and so on.
But there is no martial arts!
At first, Zhang Ran thought that the master was testing himself, and he would definitely pass on his peerless martial arts in the future, but after Zhang Ran worked hard and devoured all the knowledge in a few years, he learned that the master really didn't know martial arts......
But Zhang Ran was not disappointed, because although the master didn't know martial arts, he would have something even more outrageous - spells!
After learning the knowledge of alchemy, the old Taoist priest taught him spells.
There are not many spells in the Master's Society, only three of them: [Copper Skin and Iron Bone], [Shrinking Bones Like a Baby], and [Gangsha Protector].
Therefore, as the name suggests, [Copper Skin and Iron Bone] is a spell dedicated to carrying and beating, [Shrinking Bones into a Baby] is an enhanced version of the Bone Shrinking Skill, and [Gang Sha Protecting the Body] is a spell that refines the Gang Evil Qi outside the body to save his life, and is said to be able to withstand the attack of a certain amount of supernatural power.
There is no immortal cultivation method, and there is no qi refining and breathing, only these three simple and unpretentious little spells are enough for walking the rivers and lakes......
After teaching these three methods, the old Taoist priest left the classics and grottoes inherited from this vein to Zhang Ran, and he traveled all over the world, and there was no news from him since, and he did not know where the immortals died.
According to the master's instructions, Zhang Ran should go down the mountain and enter the WTO from now on, whether it is practicing martial arts or studying, as long as the Danding faction is passed on, it is enough, if he can win the glory of the sect, it will be even better!
But Zhang Ran didn't think so.
After learning that there are supernatural forces in the world, Zhang Ran's ideal has changed from longitudinal horses to longevity, martial arts can not be practiced, but longevity must be required.
It just so happened that Zhang Ran inherited the research results of the 49th generation of the Danding faction, and found that the predecessors had also discussed the "elixir of life", and theoretically speaking, the elixir of life should exist!
Since then, Zhang Ran has been out of control, devoting himself to the research and development of the elixir of life, and has not come down the mountain to enter the WTO for a full twenty years.
……
"In this furnace, I have added all the main drugs and auxiliary medicines, if it is completed, it will be immortal, if it is defeated, it will ......"
Zhang Ran gritted his teeth.
He is now desperate, gambling all his savings and dreams, and if he fails, then he really has to think about going down the mountain to find a class......
But having said that, in fact, Zhang Ran is still very sure, it's not that he brags, at least in the area of alchemy, he has far surpassed the ancestors of the past generations!
Legend has it that the ancient Shennong clan tasted herbs and understood the pharmacology because he had a pair of crystal bellies, and no matter what the medicinal properties of the medicine were, he could find it accurately and intuitively.
Although Zhang Ran doesn't have a crystal belly, it is not far behind, he is born with an absolute observation of his body, and he can play a similar effect to Shennong's crystal belly when testing the medicine.
At this point, Zhang Ran himself doesn't know why, it can only be attributed to the welfare of the traverser.
Relying on this ability to almost cheat, after 20 years of theoretical deduction and practical operation, Zhang Ran has made a breakthrough little by little, and after ruthlessly emptying all the savings of the ancestors, today is Zhang Ran's last fight.
"Ancestor blesses, Yanhuang ancestor blesses, Jade Emperor and Queen Mother blesses, and Buddha Yawei True God blesses......"
In a burst of various prayers, time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Ran's attention was all devoted to the Ding Furnace, ready to deal with all emergencies......
Outside the cave, the originally sunny sky gradually shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, the dark clouds gradually thickened, and an extremely oppressive momentum also accumulated, so that the birds and beasts in the mountains hid one after another, and the huge chicken claws and mountain crows were silent.
Click!
When the thunder arose, the electric snake poked out of the clouds, as if looking for something.
What a glorious scene of heaven and thunder!
……
Zhang Ran had no idea what was going on outside the cave, and at this time he was staring intently at the smoke-filled furnace.
The Ding furnace is a treasure handed down by the ancestors, which can not only spontaneously combust without firewood, but also automatically refine the Ding medicine into pills, saving the cumbersome steps of rubbing the pills by hand.
"According to my calculations, the normal number of pills should be around seven seven and forty-nine pills, which is exactly the number of Heavenly Dao."
"When the elixir is completed, the poor Dao will take one pill first, and the rest can be sold down the mountain, those rich businessmen and magnates all want to enjoy wealth forever, and the elixir will definitely not be sold, and even the emperor will never refuse immortality!"
"Hey, hey! When the time comes, the poor road will learn a handful of Xu Fu, use the pill to exchange three thousand boys and girls to the emperor, and then go to sea to find a wild place to build a country and call the emperor, and so on for a few hundred years, the beauty of the country, the glory and wealth are inexhaustible, and finally passed down the Danding sect Taoism, and the ancestors of the past generations should also laugh at Jiuquan......"
Immortality is coming, Zhang Ran's suppressed human desires for more than 20 years have finally been indulged unscrupulously, he is full of the emperor and the founding of the country, and even began to imagine what system the country should use, the beauties of the harem will be changed every few years, and whether to develop science and technology or develop immortal cultivation......
The smoke in the ding gradually changed color, from dusk yellow to golden, and then from golden to the color of purple glow, and at the same time, there are five different colors of smoke corresponding to the five elements appear out of thin air, and the five elements of the gas continue to rotate around the purple glow, and the scene is very good-looking!
There is even a pungent fragrance rushing out of the canopy, which quickly disperses the miscellaneous smell in the grotto!
"Amazing!"
Zhang Ran observed these visions in surprise, in the deduction, there was no such miraculous scene.
But when you think about it, doesn't the bigger the scene prove that the pill is better? Such a vision must be proof that the elixir of life is about to be completed.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly saw the lid of the tripod turn and stand up, and a heat wave rushed up from the ding, followed by a soybean-sized, fragrant purple skin pill!
The pill floated above the Ding furnace out of thin air, and it was overjoyed to see it, and it was done!
"One, two, three, four...... Forty-eight, forty-nine......"
"Fifty!"
Zhang Ran counted excitedly, a total of fifty pills, although it was not the forty-nine pills he estimated, but one more pill was better, how could any Dan master dislike his own pills?
"Elixir, mine! It's all my ......" Zhang Ran trembled with excitement, and tears of excitement slowly flowed out......
Suddenly, a tingling sensation in the face of the mighty heavens appeared in Zhang Ran's consciousness without warning!
didn't have time to think about it, the stunned Zhang Ran hurriedly subconsciously rushed towards the pills, wanting to keep the pills, but only saw a thunder pillar running straight into the stone cave, and then the world fell into a white man......
Rumble!
There was an earth-shattering thunderclap, and a large hole was blown out of the low Chicken Feet Mountain by the thunder, and between the rocks, there was a faint charred black human figure, and his limbs seemed to be twitching.
