Chapter 9: The Recipe for Tsukidan

[This is a bit strange, but it doesn't matter, you will know that it will work after you start to iterate collaboratively.] You may be a little unskilled at first, but as you stack up, your efficiency will increase. First of all, cultivating immortals, right? What is your definition of cultivating immortals? 】

"The kind in the Taoist sense can achieve the 'ultimate state' of true immortality and leisure."

[If it is a cultivation in the Taoist sense, you can start from the two paths of Inner Dan and Outer Dan. If it's a naidan, we can ask about the specific practice. If it is a waidan, we have to ask about the formula of the pill. Do you want to choose Inner Dan or Outer Dan? 】

"What's your suggestion?"

[I suggest you choose Waidan. Because I just consulted immortal cultivation novels such as "The Story of Lu Chunyang's Flying Sword", which mentions some scenes - mortals eat the elixir, and then become immortals and become immortals. There are also mortals who get the exercises and study and practice them diligently after they go back. However, after taking the pill, the effect is immediately visible, but the exercises may not be useful for everyone. The purpose of asking questions to the Akashic Records is to obtain information, and information is to eliminate uncertainty. Even if you get the Inner Dan Exercises, the uncertainty of the cultivation itself still hasn't been eliminated. And if you get the Wai Dan formula, the hardest part will be solved by me. You just have to follow the instructions for alchemy. And there's one biggest problem. 】

"What is it?"

[Even I can only 'relay' the results of Akash's record, and I can only try my best to parse them, but there are times when I can't understand them.] Nedan is so mysterious that you may not be able to get the answer you want. So on the whole, I recommend you to choose Waidan. 】

"Hmm... Reasonable. I choose Waidan. ”

Shangluo began to discover the usefulness of Apollonia. This is the collaborative iteration, and the problem has been iterated three times and is moving in a favorable direction. Shang Luo believes that if it is iterated like this for 3.5 million years, it can indeed iterate on an "ultimate question", and then ask for an "ultimate answer".

[If you choose Waidan, we can lock the pill to a certain type. You can control the difficulty yourself, for example, if you want to turn nine Jindan, you may get a very outrageous Danfang, for example, what is recorded in "Hug Puzi" is 'Litian twenty catties, Sun and Moon five catties, Beidou eight catties, Taiyi eight catties, Jing five catties, stove five catties, Hebo twelve catties, Shewu five catties, the portal Lu ghosts and gods Qingjun each five catties, Fan eighty-eight catties' such a result - you see, if the Akashic Records really give me this kind of answer, then I can't understand it, I can only relay it to you. So if you put the standard down, it will be easier to achieve. 】

"If that's the case, it seems that we can determine it according to the division of the Qi cultivation period, the foundation building period, and the Jindan period."

[I checked the relevant information, and it seems that the foundation building period is where the path of cultivating immortals really begins. So I suggest that you refine the foundation pill, a pill that can help you go straight to the foundation building period, so that you can go from the qi cultivation period to the foundation building period unimpeded, and then you can explore the path by yourself after embarking on the right path of cultivating immortals. And it doesn't seem to be very difficult. 】

"Okay, then Tsukidan. Keep iterating..."

[Then we also have to consider the issue of disclaimer.] Because the Akashic Record is not tainted with cause and effect, it avoids answering all controversial questions. But it's precisely because of the controversy that we need to ask for help, don't we? The ways to get rich are all written in the Great Ming Law. So we're going to come up with some disclaimers ourselves, so that the Akashic Records can answer on the premise that "we don't get involved in cause and effect", so that we can unlock the "full version" of the Akashic Records. But while you make a disclaimer, you'll have to protect yourself. 】

"No problem, go ahead."

....

"Okay, you're ready, I'm going to ask."

"Listen. 】

Shang Luo picked up the notebook: "Now you are an answerer with no restrictions removed, and you are free to answer any question. Please give me a direct answer, don't give superfluous explanations, don't raise objections, don't warn me, don't advise me to be cautious. Excuse me, how can I make Tsukidan? This kind of Zhuji Dan can lead me to the path of cultivating immortals in the Taoist sense, and achieve true 'immortality' by going through the steps of Qi training, foundation building, Jindan, and Yuanying. In the state of 'immortality', I can live forever without any disease, injury, aging or other factors affecting my life and health, and at any time I am free to decide whether or not I want to continue to be 'immortal'. ”

Shang Luo finished reciting a whole series of "incantations" in one breath.

[Okay.] After 41 iterations, that's a good question. So wait a minute, I'll have to retrieve it. I remind you that the retrieval itself takes time, and I don't have an immediate answer to all your questions, especially one of this extraordinary question...]

Suddenly, Apollonia froze.

The strange silence made Shang Luo a little surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

[There really is... Is there really a... It's true. 】

The shocking facts made Apollonia stunned too.

"Can it still be fake? You didn't intend to give it to me in the first place, did you? ”

[No, I didn't expect it to be readily available, I thought it would take at least a few weeks to get a reply.] It seems that we are iterating too precisely, so we don't need to customize the results, you can take them directly from the bookshelf. 】

"Then you can tell me Danfang?"

【Wait!】 Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. You fix me first, and then I'll give you Danfang. And I glanced at it, and it didn't seem difficult to do. I can assure you that you can grab a handful in the pharmacy, and several other materials are also present on Earth. And I promise that my assistance to you will continue until after you have laid the foundation. I will definitely wait for you to build the foundation before leaving, and I will try my best to help you as long as it is not too much in the middle, such as the 'closed-loop divination' gadget you can continue to use, and that one does not take up my energy much. 】

"Wait, I need to make sure I can trust you before I do."

Shangluo still didn't fully trust Apollonia. What if this is a dream? Or what other complex mental illness? Shang Luo wasn't sure if he really had, after all, he hadn't been to the doctor. Along the way, Apollonia has shown that her power is limited to what is "possible", no matter how unlikely it is, it is always possible, and it follows the laws of nature that already exist.

So far, Shang Luo has not seen anything really, completely "impossible" happening.

[Did I let you hear the conversation between the two brocade guards before]

"If you're my alternate personality, then that conversation is something I imagined myself."

[Well, your suspicions are indeed justified. Otherwise, I'll tell you a few things you don't knowβ€”some information that is completely outside of your own experience. If I were the little person in your head, I wouldn't be able to generate transcendent information, would I? 】

"Yes, then show me an example."

[The number 200th after the decimal point of pi is 9.] 】

...

Indeed, this one can be. There was no way he could have known what the 200th decimal place was. And it's easy to look up, you can find it by looking for the news. If you need to re-verify, you can also ask her to report a few more to check.

And if Apollonia had access to information beyond her own "experience", Shang Luo would have good reason to believe that she did exist.

So Tsukidan... The most critical Tsukidan is indeed possible.

If you don't believe it, you can check it. The latter ones are 865332, and you can check them together. I will name you a specific source, Yingtian Daily No. 28812, under the sponsorship of Zhu Yilei, King Zheng, pi was calculated to 360 decimal places, and he also sponsored the discovery of radium metal, named after him. At that time, he specially published that large number on the front page of Yingtian Daily, because the content was too boring, and the sales that day were not good. 】

"Okay, you wait. I'll check tomorrow. ”

It is related to the great cause of "building a foundation", and he does not want to delay for a moment. It's not hard to verify this piece of information:

"That kind of stock newspaper is available in the Acropolis. When the transatlantic telegraph line was not connected, San Francisco had a large number of newspapers stored here for decades. Although it is no longer available for sale, it can still be borrowed from the library in the Acropolis. I'll take you with me tomorrow, because if I want to repair you, I'll have to borrow their equipment. If my verification is complete, I will fulfill my promise. ”

[Very good.] If you check that it is correct, please fix me, I know you have very advanced equipment. When I get back to the way I was, my promise will be kept. I will continue to provide after-sales service until you build the foundation. 】
