Chapter 5 Pharmacopoeia

This is a "Pharmacopoeia" compiled by the old ghost, which includes most of the elixirs and spiritual grass types of the Holy Source System, although it is not very comprehensive, but there are more than eighty percent of the collections.

The "Pharmacopoeia" says that it was compiled by the old ghost himself, but in fact, most of it is still widely circulated in the Holy Source system, but some new spiritual herbs were included by themselves after being discovered by the old ghost.

The star field of the Holy Source System is vast, and before the miracle space was discovered, the types of this elixir and spirit grass were also extremely numerous, and after hundreds of millions of years in the miracle space, some of the unique spiritual herbs in the miracle space were also excavated, and even some species that were scarce in the Divine Source system had a large inventory in the miracle space.

As a cultivator, in addition to his own cultivation, he also has to learn a lot of things, such as formation talismans, refining weapons, alchemy, puppets, etc., the formation talisman is divided into formation and rune paper, rune paper still has a role in low-level cultivators, middle and high-level cultivators basically do not use, but the formation is very useful, will accompany the cultivator for a lifetime, the formation is often used to kill the enemy, trap the enemy, protect the law, and gather spirits, so most of the cultivators have a certain study of the formation, like Wang Lung in the old urchin and Mo Tianlong The illusion experienced by the old urchin and Mo Tianlong was set up by the formation.

Refining requires a great deal of effort, some cultivators regard refining weapons as their main business, and some only do it for understanding, as cultivation continues to increase, even cultivators who do not specialize in refining weapons can refine better spiritual weapons, and those high-level spiritual weapons need specialized forgers to make.

Refining medicine is similar to refining tools, generally cultivators who specialize in refining weapons will not pay attention to refining medicine, and similarly, refining medicine will not focus on refining weapons, the main reason is that the energy is limited, and the door will not be as good as specializing in one subject.

Puppets actually have a lot to do with refining weapons, because the production cost of puppets is relatively high. Moreover, the puppets are always inferior to the cultivators themselves in terms of achievement, so most of the puppets that are refined are used as auxiliary existences, such as guarding the cave mansion, protecting low-level disciples, etc., and most cultivators who have learned refining weapons will try to refine their own puppets.

The old ghost is a self-cultivator, and he chooses alchemy in other auxiliary cultivation, and the way of alchemy is much more complicated than refining. It is necessary to distinguish, proportion, test and develop various spiritual herbs, and the procedures are very complicated, and the cultivators who choose alchemy must also be familiar with various spiritual herbs and have a deep study of spiritual herbs.

The "Pharmacopoeia" given to Wang Lung by the old ghost was researched by him from cultivation to the present, which contains most of the spiritual herb species of the Holy Source System and all the known spiritual herb species in the miracle space, in addition, it also contains some spiritual herbs discovered by the old ghost himself, and these newly discovered spiritual herbs are still found from the earth. Since the earth is a new life planet, the spiritual energy is thin, and the spiritual herbs that can be used by cultivators are also very rare, and in millions of years, the old ghost has only collected more than a dozen kinds.

The "Pharmacopoeia" is the name obtained by the old ghost, which not only includes the types of spiritual herbs, but also has the formula and planting method of alchemy, which can be said to be a wide variety. When Wang Lung first looked through the "Pharmacopoeia", he thought it was all about the introduction of spiritual herbs. In fact, after turning to the middle, it is already something else.

In the "Pharmacopoeia", there are more than 36 million kinds of spiritual herbs included, not only physical pictures, but also the boundaries of the year, the place of origin, the grade, the collection method, the cultivation method and the medicinal properties of each part, etc., the information included is very detailed.

Take one of the elixirs as an example:

Purple flowers. Sanpin, before flowering, grows a black leaf every 100 years, and grows up to ten leaves before flowering, and the flower blooms with three petals and is purple. The flower buds have a black beard;The leaves of the purple flowers after flowering turn green,The green leaves can be used for medicine,The petals can be used for medicine,The black whiskers in the flower buds can be refined for chronic corrosion and poison;The purple flowers wither one month after flowering,The withered purple flowers have no use, and will not produce any seeds;Collect the leaves of the purple flowers in a wooden box before withering、 Flower petals, use a jade box to collect the black whiskers in the buds of the purple flower, the speed should be fast, after the purple flower is collected for a minute, its trunk will quickly shrink, and the rhizome will also shrink at the same time, before its trunk has not shrunk, its rhizome and trunk can be collected and recultivated.

The Purple Shadow Flower is distributed in the Miracle Space Luoyu Mountain, Baiyou Valley, and Orange Pool, and in the Sacred Source System, Boyun Star, Tukasi Star, and Luzka Star, and other foreign galaxies are also distributed, and the specific address is unknown.

Purple flowers have no seeds, its rhizome and trunk remain intact and can be planted repeatedly, after each flowering collection, its trunk and rhizome must be taken out again, an hour later can be re-entered into the soil cultivation, replanted purple flowers need to be watered with the night, once a year, a total of ten years, no more and no less, the watering season is early spring, before the watering, the purple flowers can not see the sun, need to be in the yin and humid place, one year after the completion of watering can be transplanted to the sun, even if not transplanted can survive, but the grade will be lowered by one layer.

Sanpin Purple Youhua can be equipped with more than 100 kinds of pills, the yield is relatively rich, the price is moderate, and all sects are planted.

The purple flower is not a complete three-grade spiritual herb, as well as its mutations, the mutated purple flower is not flowered five hundred years before the long leaf, the leaf is purple, the highest length of twenty leaves, the flower blooms nine petals, the petals are green, the flower buds are long three white whiskers, just the opposite of the three-grade purple flower, the color of the leaves remains unchanged after the flower opens, it contains highly toxic and cannot be used in medicine, and poison can be refined; The three whiskers in the flower buds are extremely important, they are rare materials for refining the best elixir, and the mutated purple flowers are extremely scarce, and the rhizomes cannot be planted again, they are one-time consumables, and their value is immeasurable.

This is only an introduction to a kind of spiritual herb, and it is also a relatively small part, most of the spiritual herbs are introduced in more detail, and there is also the name and amount of the pill that can be used in the medicine at the back.

At the beginning, when Wang Lung saw the "Pharmacopoeia", he had a headache, how long does it take for more than 36 million spiritual herbs to be memorized, but after reading it slowly, he found that his memory is very amazing, and it can't be matched by not forgetting it.

As he looked at it for a long time, Wang Lung had a new understanding of the entire Saint Source Spiritual Herbs, compared with these spiritual herbs and elixirs, the Chinese herbs he originally knew were simply the difference between garbage and diamonds, the most ordinary first-grade spiritual herbs, even if they were not refined into pills, they would have a great effect when eaten raw, although they were not as good as the finished pills. At least half of the medicinal properties have been preserved, if it is given to those cancer or AIDS patients on the earth, it is estimated that they will not even have to go to the hospital, and the body will immediately become better and intact.

At first, I got the Pharmacopoeia before I read it. Wang Lung felt that this book should not be called "Pharmacopoeia", he understood it according to the content arranged for him by the old ghost, and it should be called "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Herbs", but after reading it, he felt that the two words of the pharmacopoeia could not fully explain the content.

As he read more, Wang Lung was like a thirsty traveler in the desert, suddenly discovering a small river, frantically drawing water, hoping to drink the river dry.

Regarding the information about the spirit herbs, Wang Lung had already read all of them. But later, Wang Lung looked more carefully at the ratio of pills and alchemy methods, because Wang Lung's understanding of spiritual herbs was still in the initial stage, so he looked very struggling with some of the information in the back.

This is like a general, reading the book of soldiers every day is not able to lead the army to kill the enemy, talking about what the soldiers can do on paper, and if you want to learn alchemy. It is necessary to configure the elixir formula by hand and be familiar with the refining process. This process is not something that can be mastered overnight, and it takes a long time to achieve something.

Seven days, the old ghost only gave Wang Lung seven days to familiarize himself with this "Pharmacopoeia", which is not enough for the current Wang Lung, and it will take at least three or five years to understand the content of the "Pharmacopoeia". Especially the content of the second half of the "Pharmacopoeia", which still needs to be done by yourself, and it is not enough to just read the book.

Since Wang Lung picked up the "Pharmacopoeia" and studied it attentively, he has not slept for seven days and seven nights, and all his thoughts have been pinned on the "Pharmacopoeia". He wanted to use all the time he had to master as many things as he could.

The old ghost tests Wang Lung's familiarity with spiritual herbs, in fact, Wang Lung only needs to understand the first half of the "Pharmacopoeia", but Wang Lung doesn't want to give up this rare opportunity, who knows if the old ghost of the "Pharmacopoeia" is withdrawn after seven days, if it is not withdrawn, it is okay, if it is recovered, Wang Lung will not have a place to look for it in the future.

Seven days passed quickly, and when the old ghost sat on the main hall again, Wang Lung's mind had not yet detached from the "Pharmacopoeia", and in the past seven days, Wang Lung had sat in the Hundred Hidden Hall to study the "Pharmacopoeia", and he had not left a single step.

"Ahem!" A light cough woke Wang Lung up, he looked up at the old ghost sitting directly above, and shook his head helplessly, he knew that the time was up, and he had to put away the "Pharmacopoeia" in his hand.

The old ghost didn't speak, but looked at Wang Lung with a smile and stretched out his right hand, the meaning was obvious, the seven days have arrived, and the "Pharmacopoeia" should also be returned to its original owner.

Reluctantly glanced at the "Pharmacopoeia" in his hand, Wang Lung wanted to stay for his future reference, but he could take another look at the expression of the old ghost, it was estimated that it was impossible, sighed in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hand over the "Pharmacopoeia".

"How is it? What have you gained in the past few days?" asked Wang Lung after the old ghost took back the pharmacopoeia.

Wang Lung shook his head and said, "I have memorized all the spiritual herbs, but unfortunately there are many contents in the back of the Pharmacopoeia that cannot be understood. ”

"Stinky boy, I'm asking you to see the introduction of spiritual herbs, it's good for you, you want to fly before your wings are hard. The old ghost glared at Wang Lung angrily and said: "You are not a cultivator yet, and it is useless to learn the information of those alchemy, it is not good to be ambitious, and when you become a cultivator in the future, you will slowly come into contact with these things, and now even if you want to learn, you don't have that strength." ”

The old ghost taught him very right, and Wang Lung also knew the way, but he couldn't ignore the content of the "Pharmacopoeia", obviously there was a mountain of gold in front of him, and he couldn't get a piece of it just by staring at it with two eyes, and no one wanted to.

Looking at Wang Lung's haggard face, the old ghost couldn't bear to reprimand more, and after explaining it, he revealed the matter.

"Okay, since seven days have passed, then you should prepare to set off to collect spiritual herbs, and then, this is the information you want to collect spiritual herbs, remember, don't make a mistake, if you make a mistake, your experience will be judged to be a failure. ”

He took the silk paper that the old ghost threw to himself, which listed the names and year information of the spiritual herbs that needed to be collected for this experience.

1 500-year-old Celestial Star Grass, 1,000-year-old 9-night fennel, 500-year-old Red Scale Flower Petals, 1800-year-old Cypress, 1,500-year-old Saint-Leda sap, 1,000-year-old Xuangen, 1,000-year-old Ice Cream Flower, 1,000-year-old Sanssouci Fruit, 5,000-year-old Chill Grass, 10,000-year-old Tyrone root.

Ten kinds of spiritual herbs, the year can not be reduced by a trace, you can collect higher years, the specific planet to collect, it is up to Wang Lung to decide, the time limit is one year, from today, next year before the sun sets, Wang Lung must come back.

Collect all the spiritual herbs in one year, and the year can't be reduced by half a point, no matter what, it can't be reached, and Wang Long's experience is considered a failure.

Seeing the list in his hand, Wang Lung began to think back to the "Pharmacopoeia" he had read, in the Saint Source System, many mature or immature planets will produce all kinds of spiritual herbs, Wang Lung didn't know how far away the planets were from the earth, he hoped that it would be best to collect all ten spiritual herbs in one planet.

Fortunately, the old ghost did not let himself run all over the universe, and Wang Lung finally knew which planet he was going to collect according to the content recorded in the "Pharmacopoeia". (To be continued......)
