Chapter 11 Cultivating Gardens and Refining Medicine
Probably because of Elder Lu and Lin Xiao's painstaking cultivation before their deaths, the location of the wooden house was very remote, and there were almost no people.
Especially after the servants were forcibly transferred, all three houses were empty.
The environment is quiet and surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Speaking of the environment alone, it is much better than the dilapidated temple where I lived when I was young.
Nan Xiao was happy with herself.
Of course, she no longer goes to school, and her time is more free.
The movement and maintenance of the body's internal qi has come to fruition, and with the pearl rice, Nanxiao's physical fitness has gradually improved.
In the mortal world, the wind and rain depend on the sky.
In the blessed land of Qingya, there are fairies driving rainbows and waving dark clouds.
When rice crops and herbs need to be irrigated, their own cultivators come to spread the rain and apply the wind.
Nan Xiao doesn't have that much ability, so she can only dig ditches and drain with her hands.
At first, Nan Xiao wielded her hoe with great difficulty, humming and digging the soil, trying to dig a small pond.
As a result, I was tired all day, my hands were blistered, and I didn't dig the pond properly.
Then it occurred to her that what if Qi could be applied to her hands and the key muscles that needed to be strained?
She tried it that night, and it worked as expected.
The next morning, she dug up the small pond.
The price is that the gas is used up.
Nan Xiao is not a pity, the qi can still be re-refined.
From nothing to something, from something to nothing.
The more you write the words, the better they look, and the same goes for practice.
No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles.
It is also a practice.
After that, Nan Xiao dug a ditch to divert the clear spring from the back mountain into a small pond.
These sources of water will be used for subsequent herbal irrigation.
Five acres of medicinal fields have been sown.
Some water lily seeds were also sprinkled on the edge of the pond, and three willow saplings were planted on the side.
Even once taking advantage of the heavy rain, Nan Xiao took advantage of the night to run to the road, caught some rice fish fry, and put them in the fish pond.
Time is like flowing water, fleeting.
Whenever she was full of food and drink, Nan Xiao climbed the back mountain, cut some shrubs and tall bamboos, and surrounded five acres of medicinal fields as a fence.
The three wooden houses have been renovated and furnished.
Sometimes, Nan Xiao would cook a bowl of medicinal soup and put it in a bamboo bucket and give it to Chen Zhuo, the old woman who gave lectures to Kuhai Cliff and others.
Although those people had already opened up the sea of suffering, and to a certain extent, they didn't need to eat these foods that didn't have much aura, but Nan Xiao still expressed kindness in this way.
When he was free, Nan Xiao continued to cultivate his internal qi, hoping to find the location of the bitter sea as soon as possible.
It didn't take long for Nan Xiao to discover that there were three times a day when the gain in cultivation was the best.
The sky is shining and the sun is rising. Vibrant, new life.
The sky is clear and the sun is scorching. Domineering, just right.
The afterglow is beautiful, and the sunset is tilting westward. Frost in autumn, mulberry elm twilight.
Therefore, Nan Xiao will silently recite the "Tao Sutra" mystic method at these times.
Operate your own internal qi to attract the vitality from the east, the vigor from the top of your head and the frost from the west to nourish yourself.
Shifting qi and nourishing the body is a compromise cultivation path after thinking hard for Nan Xiao.
The years move forward in silence, and the four seasons rotate together.
The five acres of medicinal fields behind the house, the canal eyes are from clear to blurred.
The seeds fall and the seedlings emerge, the flowers bear fruit, the leaves return to the roots, and repeatedly.
Rice flower fish fry swim freely, wear the stars and the moon, take the sun as a boat, rippling on the blue waves.

However, farming is not always leisurely.
Sometimes, Nan Xiao, who has back pain due to the heavy farm work, also misses the class.
Nan Xiao, who is still a small girl, once eavesdropped on the private school in Banyuepo for a period of time.
I remember one time, the master in the private school began to give a lecture.
Nan Xiao climbed the tree to peek, but caught up with the master who shook his head and chanted the scriptures.
She was skinny, and she didn't run a few steps before she was caught up.
After being beaten badly, Nan Xiao never went to the private school again, and even begging was far away from the narrow alley where the private school was located.
After coming to the Qingya Blessed Land, although the Venerable Master Qingxuan came up and knocked on Nan Xiao, who was late, Nan Xiao was still convinced.
Master Qingxuan, who was determined to go down the Shu Road, never taught according to the book, let alone used brute force unreasonably.
In the classroom, in addition to teaching the white-robed Taoist children to know and master the characters of the Feather Divine Dynasty, the Venerable Master Qingxuan also often told them the history of the Feather Divine Dynasty and even the planet Beidou.
Those long-standing legends, in the story of the Venerable Master Qingxuan, there are also some more vicissitudes and sorrows.
Zhongzhou is vast, and the Emperor of Feathering swept Liuhe, preaching strongly.
There are many demons in Nanling, and there have been white rabbits turning into dragons, and they have fought in the fairy road.
The Eastern Wilderness is mysterious, and the seven forbidden areas of life are entrenched, and there is no life in ten deaths.
The western desert is far away, the Buddhist beliefs are intricate, and the practitioner cultivates hardship.
The northern plains are vast, and the blood of the ancient people is mixed in the middle, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.
In addition to Beidou, there are many sources of life, but it is a pity that they are not written in ancient books.
The Venerable Master Qingxuan would not be untargeted, so the story about the finite life and the vastness of the universe came to an abrupt end.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiao still has some regrets.
As the only cave blessed land in Shu Dao, Qingya Blessed Land is famous for the cultivation of herbs and the spirit animal white deer.
During her three months at the school, she mastered the writing of the Feather God Dynasty and the medicinal properties, pharmacology, and cultivation methods of herbs.
Under the compulsion of the Venerable Master Qingxuan, Nan Xiao, who was the most serious, also learned some basic martial arts.
Only the knowledge of domesticating spirit beasts, she lost her qualifications before she could learn it.
But Nan Xiao was also content.
The main herbs were changed batch after batch, and the pearl rice was harvested one after another.
With the money she saved, Nan Xiao bought some cultivation notes, anecdotes, alchemy annotations, and even a few books of martial arts secrets in the mortal world.
The most powerful thing is that Nan Xiaotuo Uncle Chen Zhuo bought a Dan furnace, and even came with a prescription for refining the elixir.
————————————
What is a panacea?
Based on elixirs and spiritual minerals, supplemented by extremely high-quality flames, there is a chance to be successfully refined.
If the ordinary pill is still three points toxic, then the elixir greatly removes the raw grams and drawbacks of the medicinal materials themselves, and doubles the efficacy.
In the knowledge imparted by the Venerable Master Qingxuan and the contents recorded in the "Commentary on Alchemy", the herbs are divided into six grades.
On top of all medicines and elixirs, it is the king of small medicines, the king of medicines, the demigod medicines, and the miracle medicines.
In a strict sense, the king of small medicines, the king of medicine, and the demigod medicine all belong to the category of elixir.
When the elixir grows to 50,000 years, it is the king of small medicine, and it can prolong its life for hundreds of years.
When the elixir grows to 80,000 to 200,000 years, it can prolong its life for at least 400 years, and some can even prolong its life for 800 years, or even more.
The magic medicine, also known as the elixir of immortality, has existed since ancient times, and as long as the rhizome is still there, it will be reborn in Nirvana.
There are many kinds of elixirs of immortality.
For example, the True Dragon Immortal Elixir, the True Phoenix Immortality Elixir, the Xuanwu Immortality Elixir, the Qilin Immortality Elixir, the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir, the Pan Peach Immortality Elixir, the Vermilion Bird Immortality Elixir and so on.
These immortal elixirs with names are rare in the world, and there is only one strain.
In addition to their own special effects, they can prolong life.
It is rumored that as long as you take the medicine of immortality, you can live and die with human flesh and bones, and live again.
Even the emperor who dominates the world, after taking the immortal medicine, will have the peak emperor life of 10,000 years.
And the demigod medicine, although it has some divinity of the immortal medicine, is not comparable to it after all.
Generally speaking, elixir has an end of life.
Even if it is an ancient medicine king that has grown for more than 100,000 years, there will be prosperity and decline.
But there are exceptions to everything.
When the elixir breaks through 200,000 years, a vague spirit will be born.
Although he still can't cultivate, he can survive forever, and he can even fly to the sky and escape to avoid evil.
It is rumored that four to five strains of demigod medicine can be worth the magic medicine.
In other words, a demigod medicine can prolong a person's life for at least two thousand years.
What is this concept?
You must know that the lifespan of a cultivator in the Wheel Sea Realm is only four hundred......
————————————
There are three elixir prescriptions obtained by Nan Xiao, which are Yunqi Pill, Blood Nourishing Pill and Returning Yang Pill.
As the name suggests, the effects of the three elixirs are qi nourishment, healing, and longevity.
It's a pity that if you want to practice these three kinds of elixirs, you must have a high-quality spiritual flame.
Nan Xiao has not yet opened up the sea of suffering, so naturally he cannot meet the requirements.
But Nan Xiao was not discouraged.
What stage, what to do.
Nan Xiao has never been a high-minded person.
Concentrate the excess herbs into a pill to prepare for future practice.
The stove is already in place, and as for the flame, there is a lot of new firewood in the back mountain.
In this way, according to the medicinal properties and pharmacology and the prescriptions recorded in the "Alchemy Commentary", more than 30 kinds of medicinal herbs were boiled by Nan Xiao to make a variety of pills.
In order to alleviate the excess of life essence in the future, the radix radix, salvia, dendrobium, perilla, ice grass and so on are concocted to clear heat and nourish the body.
In addition, there are analgesic and hemostatic pills smelted with Panax notoginseng, salvia, saffron, perilla, ice grass, etc., detoxification and plague removal pills made from herbs such as banlan root, saffron, perilla, ice grass, etc., as well as Bigu Dan which is steamed and dried nine times with raw materials such as dendrobium, atractylodes, thyme, pearl rice, yellow essence, black sesame, etc......
Nan Xiao sold the excess pills to the gray-robed medicine farmer who was quite familiar.
Because the effect of the pill is still good, it was spread to ten, ten to hundred, and Nanxiao's pill was quickly sold out.
Nan Xiao, who made a lot of money, decided to redeem the jade pendant left to her by Lin Xiao's grandfather.
Nan Xiao never asked the buyer of the jade pendant, and Chen Zhuo never mentioned it.
They know it.
One afternoon, Nan Xiao retrieved the crescent moon jade pendant and gave Elder Lu's full moon to Chen Zhuo.
The great favor has been repaid.
That night, Nan Xiao had a sweet dream.
The blue waves do not need to be ten thousand acres, and the heart is free without obstacles.
