In the empty hall, Zhu Xianene sat in front of the Dan furnace. The Dan fire had already been extinguished, because he hadn't thought about what he wanted to refine in the next furnace of Dan. The tear stains on his face had been wiped away, but the circles under his eyes were still red.

"Imperial Ancestor, why. Why can even pandas and carp build foundations, why can't I be the only one?"

"You're finally here to ask this question." A long voice came from the inner sanctum.

"Huh?" Zhu Xianene stood up, "Could it be that the Emperor Ancestor already knew?" You knew I was going to be where I am today? So, why exactly? Is there any real secret ingredient that I don't know? ”

"Before asking this sentence, why don't you ask yourself first—what kind of Tao are you cultivating?"

"I'm cultivating Dan Dao."

"And what are you?"

"I'm Dansh."

"So, as a Danshi, do you have the consciousness to take Dan?"

"I" Zhu Xianene thought for a moment, "But Dao Ancestor, you told me that the Son of Heaven can't hurt himself, this is the rule." ”

"Your question is here. Since you know that you can't harm yourself, you should take every furnace pill you refine seriously. I don't think it's okay to refine a furnace today, and I don't think it's okay to make a furnace tomorrow. Lose a little in the east today, and lose a little in the west tomorrow. From the beginning, you didn't plan to take Dan, yes and no? ”

“.”

"Well, think for yourself. Alchemy for others, what is this? This is a priest, a charlatan. I've seen a lot of Jianghu warlocks, all of them are dreaming of immortality, and some don't even believe that the elixir of immortality can be refined from their own hands. Some of them are counting on others to help them test the medicine, and some are counting on refining some gold pills to help them earn some subsistence money—there is no difference between the two in terms of motivation. They didn't have the slightest reverence for the way of heaven. ”

"Neither do I?"

"Think about yourself if you have it. One furnace a day, two furnaces in two days, one big pot, what do you do for popcorn? Taishang Laojun wants your speed, and Sun Monkey can make him die. ”

“.” Zhu Xianene was silent for a while, "I seem to have missed many opportunities. There are many that have been eaten by mistake, and I don't know how many have been thrown away. I don't know what to do. Didn't you say that the Son of Heaven could not damage his own body? ”

"Huainan Honglie Cultivation Training" Huainanzi is the fourth, listen to it from your back."

Zhu Xianene recited it without thinking: "The ancients, the people drank water from grass, picked trees, and ate the meat of beetles. When there are many diseases and poisonous injuries, Shennong Shennong tastes the taste of herbs, the sweetness and bitterness of water springs, so that the people know what to do. ”

"The Ancient Saint King is still like this, let alone you. Shennong whipped the grass with ochre, knowing its peaceful, poisonous, cold, and warm nature, and the smell of the master. You're still far from it. So now you know, what did you do wrong? ”

Zhu Xianene thought for a while: "Cultivation is your own business. After all, it's my own business. Whether it's alchemy or drug testing, I have to rely on myself after all. I should follow the example of Emperor Yan Shennong, I should. Taste the herbs. I can't let the nations test medicine for me, I want to. I will test the medicine for all the people of the world. Because."

"Because of what?" Dao Zu asked, "It's still a little bit close." Tell me, why do you do this? ”

"Because. Because," Zhu Xianene pondered for a long time and said, "Because. I want to make meritorious contributions. If you can't even make a difference in size, then you can't talk about ascension. I was intoxicated with alchemy, tired of the gods, and after all, I did nothing, and I was mediocre - God hated it. IMPORTANT.' Knowing that ginseng is non-toxic, I know that there is a disaster in the pansule. Those who try to know Anzhi will die and live. ’。 ”

"You, that's right."

"Then I'll try the medicine myself."

"Duh! I'm ambitious, but I'm not smart enough. It's not to let you try the medicine one by one, Emperor Yan has tried it for you, what are you still doing with this? If you learn from Emperor Yan, you won't be sanctified. I want you to have the heart of 'Shennong tastes a hundred herbs', and study Dandao with your heart. Do you know what it means to study the Dan Dao? It is that every time you refine a pill, you must have the consciousness of 'I want to eat it myself'. It's really a waste and start all over again, but it's not a child's play. ”

"Mrs. Grandpa. Why did you just tell me now? ”

"Because the Tao is not told to you, you have to understand it yourself before you can really remember it. It's not too late to turn back. The stove will still be yours to use in the future, but don't bang like popcorn anymore. ”

"It's me who understands." Zhu Xianene nodded.

"What did you do about the fish and dragon?"

"Grandma wants me to do it myself."

"Your grandmother entered the palace in her 20s. She has a good relationship with your grandfather, otherwise she wouldn't have your father and your aunt. They raised koi fish in the Taiye Pond, and they raised them beautifully, and no one touched them for decades, and as a result, you served them in a pot. What are you going to do? ”

"I'll treat that dragon girl like my sister. My grandmother took in a godgranddaughter, and she treated her as my godsister. Although the fish in the pond are just fish, they are not just fish. I'll keep her in the palace well. ”

"Where you came from, you have to go back to after all." Daozu paused, "Growing in front of my eyes, after all, I still have a relationship with the royal family, and I am stained with dragon energy." After all, this fate still falls on your head, so deal with it carefully. In the future, it may be of great use. No matter how bad it is, it's a landscape, and it's always good to raise a dragon in the Taiye Pool. ”

"Understood."

"I won't say much about the rest, you can count it yourself. Spirit beasts are not human beings after all, and if you are not careful, they will do things that will harm the world, and if you don't clean up, someone else will clean up for you. If you don't want to shout 'Great Sage, and slow down' like Journey to the West, just watch it yourself. ”

"Understood, understood. Still." Zhu Xianene suddenly asked, "What's the matter with the panda rumbling?" Why is he on New Antioch's side? ”

"That's the Ouchi agent I sent."

"It's really a secret agent in Ouchi?!"

"I gave him all the brand myself. As a result, the boy did not get up to work except to eat or sleep. After all, it's a panda, and it's not easy to arrange anything, so let's leave it at that. This time, he ran out, most likely because he noticed something - don't underestimate the vigilance of the panda, the panda's ears are very smart, the nose is also very smart, and it can detect dangers that people can't perceive. He was lying there fine, and he certainly wouldn't run out inexplicably. Be careful, there's something going on over there. ”

"Then I'll go and call Shang Luo."

"Go ahead. Raise the stove before leaving. Parameters and formulas, give me a good tune, mental calculation. Remember—"

"It's not popcorn! Remember! Really remembered! Zhu Xianene stood up straight and replied.
