Chapter 231, Magic Rope Zuo Xiutong
Early morning.
The sky brightened slightly, Xiao Mo woke up from his meditation and opened his eyes.
Push open the window.
A breath of fresh air came to his face, Xiao Mo immediately looked at the two pine trees that had been absorbed by himself last night, and returned a part of it, and sure enough, after a night, they returned to their original verdant green, and business was full of business.
Obviously, although Xiao Mo's actions last night had a certain impact on them, as long as they didn't hurt their foundation, under the laws of nature, they would recover quickly.
However, Xiao Mo also knew that this was only because the level of the pills he was refining was too low, and the first-grade low-grade pills, among all the pills, belonged to the most ordinary, except for the mortal pills, there was no lower one.
They need less vitality and don't have much impact, but if they refine the second pindan or even the third pindan last night, these two pine trees will not be so lucky, and it is estimated that they will die directly.
Therefore, in places where the vitality is not vigorous enough, it is not advisable to forcibly alchemy.
All things in heaven and earth have their own way, forcibly changing their ways, and thus obliterating living beings, this is not the original intention of Wan Huahua's return, and Xiao Mo is not willing to do such a thing against the sky for alchemy.
Although there will be no consequences for the time being, there is always cause and effect if you do too many things to kill.
Cause and effect cannot be seen or touched, but it acts on the soul and affects the nature, which has little impact on ordinary people, but for a mental cultivator like Xiao Mo, once the soul is dusty and the nature is angry, it is a great thing.
The later you go, the more serious the consequences become.
Therefore, the best way is to find a place where life is thriving, which can be used without harming its roots, and can be restored naturally, without harming the true appearance of heaven and earth.
For example, if the two pine trees in the middle courtyard contain two amounts of qi, if they take all of them, they will die, and if they take half of them, they will senescence prematurely, or even only one-tenth, which will also affect their natural growth.
But what if Xiao Mo is in a sea of forests?
There are thousands of towering trees, and the 'qi' contained in each one may be thousands of times stronger than the ordinary pine trees planted in this courtyard. The most important thing is that when the number increases, if you want to get a life, you may only need 1/10,000 or 1/100,000 of each plant......
It doesn't even need to be like this, taking one percent of a plant, one thousandth, will not have much impact, or even minimal, it is estimated that it will not take a moment to recover naturally.
Everything lasts, and this is the way to stay for a long time.
Therefore, Xiao Mo has already decided that next time he will refine the pill, he will never be in this courtyard. As for the vicinity of the Taoist Palace, where is the most vibrant, does it need to be said? Of course, it is the Lingwu Mountain Range in the back mountain.
There are lush trees, some towering trees often have a history of thousands of years, and the amount of vitality contained in one tree is extremely huge, far exceeding these two pine trees, it may be ten, or even nearly a hundred, not to mention that Xiao Mo only needs to take one ten-thousandth each, even if he takes one out of a hundred, the impact will not be too great.
So when he got there, Xiao Mo was like a fish entering the sea, and the sea and sky were wide.
Therefore, after thinking about it all night last night, Xiao Mo had already made a decision, he wanted to enter the Lingwu Mountain Range again.
Of course, this time he entered the Lingwu Mountain Range, not only to absorb a lot of vitality for alchemy, but more importantly, Xiao Mo was not ready to continue to borrow Zhongli Danshi's herbs for alchemy, he wanted to go into the mountain to pick it himself.
As the saying goes, the hands of people are soft, and the mouth of eating people is short, Xiao Mo is nominally a disciple of Zhongli Danshi, but he still uses the master's materials, and it is a little inappropriate to say it.
The most important thing is that although Zhongli Danshi didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Mo could also hear that he was very unhappy with his move to borrow medicinal materials yesterday, this kind of thing is at most once, and the second time is absolutely impossible, if Xiao Mo still wants to continue studying under his disciple, he must stop this behavior.
In addition, Zhongli Dan Master taught his disciples, and he would only supply them with some primary hand refining medicinal materials, such as the gray-level middle and low-grade medicinal materials of a low-grade pill, these medicinal materials were not precious, so he was very generous.
But if Xiao Mo wants to refine the second-rank pill and the third-rank pill, he needs to use green-rank or even yellow-rank herbs, it is obvious that Master Zhongli will not be able to give it to him. If he wanted to practice his alchemy more and refine a higher-grade elixir, Xiao Mo had to have his own source of medicinal materials.
It's a pity that Xiao Mo is embarrassed because of the embarrassment in his pocket, so he wants to learn alchemy to earn merit, but the merit is not earned, so naturally he can't afford to pay for the large amount of money he spent refining the pill, and going into the mountain to collect medicine is the only way.
And there are two more benefits to going into the mountains to collect medicine.
First, the medicinal materials picked by others, and even dried and dried directly to Xiao Mo, although they can also be used, but Xiao Mo's mastery of medicinal properties, speculation on the origin of medicinal materials, etc., not only does not help, but will cause certain obstacles.
Only by picking them in person can you get the freshest medicinal materials at all times, and at the same time, you can also greatly enrich Xiao Mo's understanding of the properties of various medicinal materials, master the origin, and be more confident in alchemy.
When Xiao Mo experienced it in the later stage, these would not be of much use, but for him who had just stepped into the road of alchemy, this aspect was still extremely lacking, but it was extremely important.
And secondly, speaking of which, the reason why Xiao Mo wants to make alchemy is actually to make money, but making money is just to improve his strength, and alchemy in the alchemy room every day will definitely not be able to do this.
Xiao Mo this time, after coming back from Chunyi Valley, he has been staying in the Zhidao Palace, and the time has been long enough, and it is time to think about it quietly, it is time to go out and practice.
When collecting medicines, he needs to experience all kinds of dangers and encounter various crises, which is naturally extremely helpful to Xiao Mo's experience, and he has a strong soul perception, and he has a natural advantage in discovering medicinal materials, so he doesn't have to use it in vain.
So, after thinking about it, Xiao Mo no longer hesitated, cleaned up, and pushed the door out, preparing to head towards the Lingwu Mountain Range.
As for the fact that he successfully refined two good-grade Pure Spirit Building Pills last night, Xiao Mo did not plan to announce it, and was ready to hide it for a while.
Although the announcement of the alchemy results could make him the most favored disciple of Master Zhongli in an instant, and even won the title of a 'alchemy genius', it was too high-profile and he didn't like it.
Moreover, on the first day of alchemy, he successfully refined two good pills and became a first-grade alchemist, which is a bit too appalling, which will inevitably attract suspicion and speculation from others, and when the time comes, it may even expose the fact that he will return to the recipe.
And Wan Hua returned to the recipe, but the unique method of the six mad monarchs back then, once exposed, the consequences were extremely serious, not to mention those who besieged the six mad monarchs back then, they were other people, I am afraid that they will also be greedy, Xiao Mo's peaceful days will come to an end, and he will even fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
Therefore, if he wants to announce it, he must wait for a period of time, and wait for the day when others can accept his successful alchemy, and when he arrives, what he will refine will not be a good pill, but an ordinary or even inferior product.
Good products can appear, but they must not appear immediately, let alone every time, otherwise they will be too conspicuous.
A few defective products, a few ordinary ones, and a few good products, even if the probability is high, others will only think that Xiao Mo has a talent for alchemy and good luck, and the next good product is the way of self-destruction, Xiao Mo naturally will not do this kind of thing.
Walking out of the house and coming to the junction of the middle courtyard and the front yard, Xiao Mo was about to go out, but he couldn't help but be suddenly stunned.
I saw that in the shadow of a corner of the courtyard, a young girl in Tsing Yi was surrounded by four young men and women, leaning helplessly against the corner, but the look on her face was still faint, as if nothing in this world could cause her joy, anger and sorrow.
This is true even if they are besieged.
"Is that her, Zuo Xiutong?"
Xiao Mo's eyes flashed, and he recognized the identity of this girl in Tsing Yi at a glance, her unique temperament can not be imitated by anyone, but why, she was besieged here?
Xiao Mo's eyes fell on the four young men and women who surrounded her in the corner, three men and one woman, one of them, dressed in red, with a smile on his face, always with a hint of evil smile, and a long meniscus knife hanging from his waist.
The second person leaned farther away, leaning on a red pillar in the corner of the courtyard, dressed in a white power suit, with a graceful demeanor, twenty-four or five years old, with a blue spear stuck in his side, the barrel of which was as transparent as jade, and there seemed to be a small dragon swimming in it.
The third person is a woman, with thin phoenix eyes and thin lips, and a somewhat fierce face, which is not a good character at first glance, and she is also the closest to the girl in Tsing Yi.
As for the fourth person, he was a swarthy boy with an ugly appearance, but the aura on his body was majestic and huge, not like a mortal.
"Is that them?"
With a shrunken gaze, Xiao Mo naturally recognized the origin of the four people, in this Qingfeng Courtyard, there are usually no outsiders coming, so the four of them are not surprising, it is the four of the original twelve alchemy apprentices under the seat of Zhongli Danshi, the 'Red Knife' Jing Qianxing, the 'Blue Dragon Spear' Yi Hongxue, the 'Jade Phoenix' Chen Jingnu, and the 'Black-faced Zhuluo' Dong Xiaoliu.
Under the seat of Zhongli Danshi, in addition to the four personal disciples, there are five of them who are the most outstanding, among which Jing Qianxing, Yi Hongxue, Chen Jingnu, and Dong Xiaoliu are four of them.
And the fifth person, and the most favored one, is none other than the girl in Tsing Yi who is surrounded by four people, 'Magic Rope' Zuo Xiutong.
"Shouldn't these five people be the most familiar, after all, they are all under the same Zhongli Dan Master. They suddenly surrounded Zuo Xiutong, what are they going to do?"
Xiao Mo originally planned to leave directly, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but pause, he didn't even plan to leave, leaned back, and stood there obliquely, smiling and ready to see what the hell they were doing.
