Chapter 136: Gu Worms, Spore Seeds, Dragon Veins, and Shadow Puppets
In the ashram of the medicine hall, many medicinal materials that have been concocted are placed in different categories, and the rest of the columns wander in the middle, carefully scrutinizing.
He held in his hand the piece of leather paper given by the old beggar, and thought about something.
In the end, Yu Lie took four of the many medicinal herbs and placed them in the place where he usually took notes and organized them.
The four herbs are a fine worm in a glass bottle, an unknown seed sealed with wax, a dried lizard dragon trunk, and a skin that has been completely peeled off.
Yu Liepan sat in front of the table, his eyes hesitating between the four things.
What he hesitated about was precisely about his natal blood weapon, which genre or which path to choose.
According to the records in the Dan Dao notes given by the old beggar, the natal blood vessel is not only suitable for Dan Dao people, but also for all practitioners today.
Because this thing is the key to why people in today's immortal path can eat all directions, eat monsters, and absorb their talents into spells!
Taking the most noble Fu Dao people in the mountains and seas as an example, the natal utensils of their generations are often a talisman, or a jade slip, or a book, and the strange point is that they use canes, clay tablets, turtle shells and other objects as shapes.
But no matter what, the function of these natal magic weapons is actually to facilitate the Taoist to record the rune spells he obtains, and they are the carriers of recorded information.
People who have truly entered the Dao need to visualize this natal blood vessel in their own souls, and the methods of condensation are different and there are many inheritances.
But its general function is roughly the same, that is, it can assist the people in the rune to extract the soul of the monster, incorporate it into the body, avoid being counterattacked, and then remove the dross, manifest the talent, etc., so that the Taoist can comprehend new spells.
If the visualization does not condense such natal artifacts, then if the people in the Fu Dao want to obtain the spell, they can only copy them according to the exercises and texts of their predecessors, imitating them one by one, which is difficult and obscure, and has no ability to innovate.
And if there is no assistance from natal artifacts, and you have to accept the demon into the soul, it is very likely that your temperament will change drastically, your soul will be exhausted, and you will even explode and die directly.
It is rumored that in the history of the mountain and sea realm, the first natal talisman in the true sense has an alias called "Fengshen Bang".
This thing is the emperor who saved the sky in ancient times, and it was refined by his own visualization, and its power reached the point where it could imprison the immortals and gods and plunder their magical powers for their own use, thus opening the era of the immortal road of "supernatural powers are not enough", making the immortal road in the mountain and sea realm embark on a road that is completely different from the ancient times.
It is precisely because of this that Fu Dao has become the most noble road in the mountain and sea realm in the mountain and sea realm.
Because it is not only large, in addition to the closely related array path, but also derived from the way of the number of arts, its talent requirements for people in cultivation are extremely high, just visualizing the condensation of the natal talisman in the mind, is a threshold that is enough to brush down ninety percent of the nine Dao people.
It wasn't until alchemy and refining, the two cultivation skills that can be compared to the rune array, also changed their appearance and matured, and they became Dan Dao and Instrument Dao, which in turn nourished the rune Dao, and lowered the threshold for condensing the natal talisman.
In the era in which Yu Lie is now living, in addition to relying purely on their own visualization and condensing the natal talisman in the soul, they can also refine a specific artifact outside, carefully nourish it, and turn it into a natal talisman.
The natal talisman that is refined in this way outside the soul can also allow the Taoist to officially embark on the talisman path.
It's just that the natal talisman outside the body, its power and efficacy are far less subtle than the natal talisman in the body.
This kind of person who relies on external objects to enter the Dao is far inferior to the true genius in general, and is despised as the turbidity current in the Dao.
Of course, even if it is the turbidity current in the rune path, the other generation is also a person in the immortal path who has taken the life and has the potential to live forever and feather to ascend.
Compared with this kind of thing, there are actually many more parallel Taoists in the mountain and sea realm, and their generation relies on the nourishment of today's immortal Dao, and they do not cultivate or cannot cultivate the things of life, and if they want to obtain magic weapons, pills, and charms, they are to buy the elixir talismans refined by people in the real immortal Dao, and the mana may be acceptable, but it will not be of much help to the development of the immortal Dao.
Its biggest role may be to consume the items refined by the real immortal people, promote the consumption and circulation of immortal items, and serve as the object of the drug tester.
The above things are a precious key knowledge in the old beggar's notes.
Before obtaining this notebook, Yu Lie had no idea what was going on.
He also thought that as long as he became an eight-rank Taoist disciple and cultivated his true qi, he could slaughter monsters, take their essence and eat them, and assist himself in cultivating spells.
Even Yu Lie recalled what he had seen and heard in the family, and found that when he was in the clan, he had never seen this knowledge point, but within the clan, it seemed that he also attached great importance to the cultivation of the Dao Tong stage.
The big and small families of Qianjun strictly forbade the Dao children in the clan to spend too much energy to learn fists and feet weapons during the Jiupin period, but reminded the clansmen to choose a cultivation skill as soon as possible, and it is best to study it with their hearts.
This is also a big reason why Yu Lie has not cultivated any fist and foot equipment so far, and has always wanted to make progress in the Dan Dao.
Now that he understood the content of Dan Dao's notes, he suddenly became cheerful.
As far as the eight-rank small family like the Yu family is concerned, their generation may not be regarded as real immortal Daoists, and they do not have much potential to become a six-grade Taoist, but with the experience and mentions of their predecessors, they are also very clear that if they want to have a broad path, they must have a solid foundation and master a cultivation skill.
Between Taoists and people, although the level is judged by mana, the root of mana comes from the cognition of the truth of heaven and earth.
The mana of the Dao Tong stage is nothing at all, what really matters is only the cultivation of the body and the introduction of mastering the skills.
This is also a big reason why Yu Lie will come to Blackwater Town.
Because Blackwater Town is a "Cultivation Technique School", when he came here, he had the greatest possibility to obtain a cultivation technique.
In the ashram.
Yu Lie looked at the four things in front of him, and continued to struggle and think about how to choose the direction of his future immortal path.
Although he had already stepped into the gate of the Dan Dao with half a foot, only when he had selected the form of the natal blood weapon and refined it could he be regarded as stepping on it with another foot and truly stepping in.
This is a bit similar to the situation when he chose one of the three major Dan methods of grass and trees, gold and stone, and flesh and blood as a starting point, but the impact on the future is more far-reaching.
Because the natal blood vessel of Dan Dao is quite different from the natal talisman of Fu Dao, there is only one form of the latter, and the difference between the natal talisman of the person in the clear stream and the turbid current is just that the texture is excellent, and the effect and scope are roughly the same.
However, Dandao, what form it chooses, the scope of its future research will also be greatly affected. Although it is not set in stone, there is still a lot of room for change and improvement, but this impact is often calculated in a hundred years.
One hundred years, for the current Yu Lie, it is more than two lifetimes.
In front of the table, his gaze continued to wander between the four things, and then landed on the first one, the nematode in the glass bottle.
Yu Lie secretly said in his heart: "Why don't you choose the first one, as the sacrificial thing of the natal blood weapon?" It just so happens that the old gentleman is using this thing, and I chose it, so I can ask for more advice in the future. ”
The nematodes in the glass bottle are not ordinary insects, but a raw material for refining Gu worms, called blood-nourishing amoeba.
What this thing represents is the Gu Dao in the Dan Dao, which can also be said to be the Worm Dao.
The natal blood vessel refined by the Daoist from this substance has several clearer names: natal Gu worm, companion worm, parasite, and so on.
Yu Lebaide's teacher was based on blood cultivation amoeba and carefully cultivated the natal Gu worm.
If he also chooses this thing as his natal object, when he slaughters monsters and plunders spells in the future, he can parasitize the split natal Gu worm into the body of the monster and steal talents and spells from the living monster.
The more spells you master, the more Gu worms that can be associated with the rest of the body, and the more types of Gu worms that can be transformed into different purposes.
For example, the sleepy insect and fire insect that Yu Lie got from the old beggar were essentially a spell given by the other party, and holding this Gu worm was holding a spell.
It's just that unlike the people in the rune path who can manifest spells with their true qi, the people in the Gu path are relying on raising all kinds of different Gu worms and relying on them to cast spells.
If there is no corresponding Gu worm on the body, or if it is temporarily consumed, the types of spells that can be cast will be greatly reduced.
I have to say that such a spell casting method is a bit different from what Yu Lie once imagined, it is a spell with insects as a spell, raising insects into the body, which is quite weird.
After some thought, Yu Lie looked at the second item on the table.
The second item represents the exchange of natal objects for plant seeds, which are referred to as "spore seed" natal items in the Dandao Notes.
After refining this thing, it can produce all kinds of seeds, grow a variety of strange plants, and use plants to cast spells to grow man-eating flowers, bloodthirsty grasses, killer trees, and so on.
Yu Lie only glanced at the "Spore Seed", and then looked at the third item, the Lizard Earth Dragon Trunk, which represented the way of the dragon vein in the Dan Dao.
In the realm of mountains and seas, everything with slippery scales and armor, and even everything that is flesh and blood, has dragon veins in its body.
Dragons, snake bodies, antlers, fish tails, ox ears, etc., are the embodiment of all things, this way is to contain dragon blood, you can first implant a dragon blood more obvious dragon vein flesh, on this basis, the development of dragon veins.
The specific method of cultivating spells is to pick the limbs and organs of monsters and transplant them for grafting. Whenever the dragon blood in the body is a little thicker, and the appearance of the true dragon is a little more complete, the spells mastered are also a little more.
This path is very popular in the mountain and sea realm, because although it involves the Dan Dao, in addition to picking the limbs and organs by themselves, transplanting and grafting them, they can also help others or ask others to complete it.
It's just that those who purely rely on others to cultivate the dragon vein are not real people in the dragon vein, and they are not reasonable, and it is rare to find the avenue.
These three are Gu worms, spores, and dragon veins.
It's roughly the three major natal blood weapons mentioned in Dan Dao's notes. Except for the second one, which is too closely related to the herb and wood pill method, the other two, the rest of the columns can actually be selected.
If he chooses Gu worms, he can ask the old beggar a lot. Choosing the dragon vein, the Dan method he is currently best at is the flesh and blood Dan method, and the success rate of self-refining and implantation will undoubtedly be the largest.
But on the contrary, in addition to pondering the above three, Yu Lie also selected the fourth type from the partial natal things that were not mentioned much in the notes.
This fourth type is a hide that is spread out on the table of the remaining columns.
This kind of natal blood vessel has the names of painting skin, peeling skin, making skin, etc., and Yu Lie personally thinks that the most suitable one is the name "shadow puppet".
It's just that this "shadow puppet" is different from the shadow puppet used by mortal children to play tricks.
It is the method of refining the natal thing in the Dan Dao, after it was introduced into the rune road, the people in the rune road studied the paper road, and used the paper man paper horse and other things as a means of casting spells, and the paper road was introduced into the Dan road again.
Referring to the paper road, the people in the Dan Dao simply peeled the skin and molded the monster, refining it into the flesh and soul, and took it as their natal thing.
The natal object of the Tao of Shadow Puppetry, the general shape is also closer to the Dao, it is a book, a book with the Taoist's own skin as the cover.
Every time you peel off the skin of a monster, you can add one more page and one more spell to the natal leather book. It's just that the leather paper is easy to be damaged, there is a time limit, and it has to be replaced if it decays, and it is not as simple and noble as the Book of Runes.
After Yu Lie's gaze skimmed over the first three Gu worms, spores, and dragon veins, he fell on the fourth type of shadow puppet, and he couldn't move away for a long time.
Although the natal spell obtained by taking the black snake fish is likely to originate from the spleen in the body, the effect of this spell is precisely to make the rest of the column have an extra layer of skin.
The first step in refining the book of shadow puppetry, or the book of peeling, is to first peel off the skin on the surface of one's body, the more complete the better, because the leather book refined in this way has the greatest success rate, and in the future, it can be used to imprison the "leather paper" that is included in the book to the greatest extent.
It is precisely this first step that is the biggest difficulty for people in the Dan Dao to cultivate the Leather Dao.
Because people can be shameless, but like trees, they can't be skinless.
Losing all the skin membranes on the surface of the body, even in terms of the physique after cutting the hair and washing the marrow, or even the physique of the people in the Eight Rank Dao disciples, they can't bear it.
According to the note, it is necessary to prepare a special spiritual liquid in advance, and after peeling the skin, put the Taoist into a coffin and soak it, so that the person can continue to survive for many days without the skin film until the leather book is refined.
But this spiritual liquid is not something that Yu Lie can refine now, he just worshipped the old beggar as a teacher, and the other party also asked him to refine his natal object by himself, and he would not assist him in refining the spiritual liquid at all.
Fortunately, Yu Lie now has a natal spell, and a layer of black membrane can appear on the surface of his body, if he peels off his human skin and uses the black membrane to maintain himself, it is very likely that he will continue to survive.
Sitting in front of the table, Yu Lie knocked on the table and counted carefully.
His eyes flickered.
Although the technique of Pi Dao is undoubtedly more ferocious and weird than the first three, its novelty is also rare in the current mountain and sea realm, and it is also a little bit related to Fu Dao, and it seems that the prospects are also very broad......
Yu Lie calculated:
"Gu worms, spores, dragon veins, shadow puppet ......"
In the past few days, he has been rummaging through boxes and cabinets, doing a lot of pondering and experimenting, and his mind has become clearer and clearer.
