At night, the upper floors of the Grand Chichen Itza Hotel.

This is the so-called "Princes' Suite". As the "national teacher" of Chichen Itza, he can certainly live here. Even the lord of the kingdom only lives downstairs.

"Great power teacher? Great power teacher? The attendant at the door asked, "If you don't need anything, I'll go first." ”

"I'm fine here, you guys stand down." Shang Luo waved his hand, and when the door was closed, he lay down on the couch.

"Good guy, how do I feel the same as when I arrived in Che Chi Country? Inexplicably became a national teacher? ”

[You must really be able to help them restore their country.] Don't talk about national teachers, you can be their ancestors. 】

"If it's just to revive their regime, I don't think it's too difficult. How can there be such a coincidence in this world? If we do a divination, won't we be able to find out the case? But does it work to just look into the case? There is a more realistic problem ahead. ”

Shang Luo looked at the ceiling: "The Mayans are very happy to grow bananas, and they can sell them every year no matter how much they plant." With such a stable life, do you think our bald uncle downstairs can provide them with it? Can he buy bananas unconditionally like United Fruits? If not, let the banana harvest fail again, this time without another combination fruit to cover it. At that time, in order to avoid a humanitarian crisis, it is necessary to report to the imperial court. And then what? ”

He spread his hands: "As long as it is reported to the court, and the court condemns the crime, the princes of these city-states will still have to get out." The imperial court may build another one, but it is possible to change the land and return it to the river. Is this really the outcome they want? So, I'm not going to do anything outside of my job. ”

[You're not going to care? 】

"I take care of how much money they give me. Not in his position, not in his own position, I only do the work that is in line with my salary. And the most important thing now is to build the foundation, and nothing else. What kind of Mayan great teacher, what about making me the Mayan king? The palace and all the rooms were made of soil. You see from the First Emperor to the Jiajing Emperor, how many emperors in the middle did anything to cultivate immortals. If I could succeed here, wouldn't I be better than all of them? ”

[Okay, let's get down to business.] Ling, seal. Tie the Beidou trick. 】

"What is the Beidou Technique?"

[A kind of mudra.] You do this, then that, and then you do this. 】

Under the guidance of Apollonia, Shang Luo put his hands back to hand, his fingers intertwined, and formed a magnificent "Beidou Technique". And between the ring finger and index finger of both hands, there is just a gap. This position made his hands very uncomfortable, and after holding them for a while, his hands were numb, and he even felt that his hands were no longer in his hands.

[Okay, I'm learning pretty fast.] Remember this feeling, and then find a pen. 】

Shang Luo spread out a piece of paper on the table, used a convenient brush to absorb water, and then finished the "Beidou Technique" he had just learned. "My hands began to go numb again, and I began to disobey them again.

"And after that? What am I going to do? Just stay still? But I can't do anything, I can't even move my hands. My hands started shaking. ”

[Shake is right. Know the story of the monkey, the typewriter, and Shakespeare? With enough time, even a monkey can make a complete Shakespearean work. Or, to put it another way, random input can also produce meaningful content. And the time I picked for you can produce this random result. 】

"Well, I'll trust you."

Shang Luo did as he said.

Beidou duel, hold the pen, close your eyes.

I don't feel anything. He only felt his hands move unconsciously because of the soreness. And whenever he pays attention to his hands, his hands naturally don't move.

The process of writing is extremely slow. He could feel the tip of the pen on one word for a long time. After tossing and turning for half an hour, it seems that only one line has been written.

[Okay, I'm done.] It's tiring... When you're distracted, that's when I'm engrossed. 】

Shang Luo opened his eyes - there were really words on this paper, and it did generate meaningful content.

Realgar, Dansha, orpiment, alum stone, Zeng Qingye. All powder, to the Chinese pond bath, to the cinnamon wood burning.

...

"That's it?" Shang Luo looked at the line of words.

[Yes, that's it, is there any problem?] This is the Tsuki-Dan formula that I searched for with great effort. 】

"No, I have such a question, a logical question: is it possible to get infinite things that add up to each other? Sulfur and mercury are finite things, and they are everywhere on this earth. Plus alum, Zeng Qing is the same. These mortal things are limited, but the path of cultivating immortals is unlimited. The elixir that can lead to the path of cultivating immortals must also share a corner of the avenue - it must share the aura of the Dao. So I think that's the key. ”

He pointed to the last few words: "Huachi, what do you mean?" If the front is a limited thing, then Huachi must be a spiritual object with aura. Literally, Huachi should be a kind of spiritual liquid, where can I go to get this kind of spiritual liquid in Huachi? ”

[Hmm... Wait a minute. Apollonia thought for a moment, "This isn't another price, because I need to help you figure out what Tsukidan is. So let's search for where I can get 'Huachi'. 】

A second passed, a minute passed, and five minutes passed.

[It's numb. Apollonia's tone was full of helplessness, incomprehension, and loss.

"How?"

[I don't know. The message could not be retrieved at all. But that Danfang is definitely useful, it must not be some random heavy metal. And Hua Chi is probably indeed a liquid with aura... In this way, let's review. What was the question you asked in the first place? 】

"My question is: 'Lead me to the path of cultivating immortals in the fantasy sense, and achieve true immortality by going through the steps of the Qi cultivation period, the foundation building period, the Jindan stage, and the Yuan Infant stage', this is what I put forward to you, about the foundation building Dan."

[Here's the problem.] Apollonia accentuated her voice, "You want Tsukidan, don't you?" The Akashic Records gives you a useful answer, and it must be useful because we need to target the recipe precisely. Well, maybe the key lies in yourself. 】

She paused:

[So... We may be underestimating the realm of Waidan. This whole possible process may be part of alchemy. Even if we accurately locate the Danfang, I'm afraid we will have to wait until you reach the right time, place, and people to refine it. But now, perhaps, it already is. The Akashic Records doesn't say time, it says that time can be controlled by ourselves. 】
