Beixiao Islands, Yuesha Island, in the mansion.

Li Zhen hid deep in the secret room, sitting cross-legged in front of a jade statue about the size of a zhang, like a lotus blooming.

In the center of the lotus flower, the white mist is thick, and the silk spring gurgles out, and a milky white brilliance like a pearl quietly precipitates in the lotus-shaped stone basin.

It was a condensation of the Blessed Land Spring Vein that had not yet taken shape, and it could gain the spiritual spring orb that could be cultivated into mana.

On the top of Li Zhen's head, a three-headed and six-armed boy floated in the air, his clothes were flying, and he was ethereal.

With the flick of the six arms, the swords, guns, swords, halberds and magic weapons have long been gone, replaced by elm powder dumplings that have been kneaded into pills, with spiritual energy circulating inside, and the divine thoughts are divided into multiple strands, continuously transforming the spirit and injecting fragrance into it.

After a while, Li Zhen's spiritual strength was greatly consumed, so he stopped and rested with a little unfinished.

"Heh, I have this natural power, whether it is refining incense and making incense, reading and cultivating the Fa, or doing other things, it is very convenient.

It's a pity that in order to maximize the effect, it is always necessary to expose the Fa to the outside, and now that I have built a foundation, at most I can only achieve two or three uses of one heart, and the mana has more than doubled.

It's inconvenient to show this kind of skill in the snail dojo, and the efficiency is always not as good as it is now.

But even so, it's still not a forest alone!"

Feeling slightly tired, Li Zhen suddenly thought of another thing.

The future of the road may not be supported by oneself alone.

It would be great if there were other monks in this life who could carry incense.

Li Zhen will definitely not feel threatened, and then jealous and suppressed, but will be ecstatic.

Because he is also exploring and exploring this path now, it is still very beneficial to have more monks like Hao Daoren.

Perhaps the method taught by Mrs. Yu also has merit, and if you want to truly preach in the world, you do not rely on your own supernatural talents, but on the use of foreign objects such as gem salts to replace, or various knowledge and means to replace the stupid methods.

In this way, you don't have to have exactly the same qualifications as yourself, just a qualification like Hao Daoren's appearance is enough to pass on this path.

At this moment, Mu Qingsi's voice sounded in the air: "Husband, Sister Yuxian has sent the Xuanyuan True Water you wanted." ”

This is a must-have for Li Zhen to make incense, and many incense products may also be used, and he has been buying them in recent months, and it has become a fixed expense.

Hearing this, Li Zhen walked out of the secret room and returned to the mansion above.

Mu Qingsi and Shang Yuxian sat on the embroidered couch, smiling, as if they were talking about something interesting, Min Lian sat next to her and drank tea as always, and couldn't say anything at all.

But looking at her appearance, it seems that she is satisfied to be able to stay in this room.

Li Zhen turned his attention to Shang Yuxian, and suddenly his eyes condensed slightly: "You have also built a foundation?"

Shang Yuxian's aura was no longer the same as before, and it had reached the level of building a foundation.

Shang Yuxian got up with a smile and said to Li Zhen: "Li Daoyou, you are here." ”

Li Zhen said: "Yuxian girl, congratulations, I never thought that I would just see you for a few days, and you have great news here." ”

Shang Yuxian said with a smile: "Thank you Li Daoyou, I only got something yesterday and successfully built the foundation."

However, the situation of our Money Avenue is a little special, many people are easy to build a foundation and it is difficult to form a pill, and it is not so easy to continue cultivating and progressing. ”

"Oh, why is that?" asked Lee.

Shang Yuxian said: "Naturally, it is difficult to have external assistance for further promotion, and it is difficult to buy suitable treasures for money." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but nodded.

As far as he has been inquiring about for more than half a year, this is indeed the case.

Min Lian listened to it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What is easy to build a foundation and difficult to build a foundation? It is clear that it is not easy to build a foundation.

For a poor monk like her, the chance of building a foundation is smaller than that of other paths.

However, looking at Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi, she rarely gave birth to a bit of fighting spirit.

By chance, she signed a contract with Li Zhen and his wife, as long as she hugged her thighs, she would have the opportunity to save money, and maybe when it would be enough to buy a Tsukidan to try.

Thinking of this, she even became more well-behaved and docile in her sitting posture.

Shang Yuxian said with a smile on his face: "According to the customs of our side, the foundation is to hold a banquet and invite guests to celebrate, my ancestor is going to hold a banquet for me at the end of the year, and invite the two of you to come at that time." ”

"Okay, we'll go then. When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that he and Qingsi Zhuji were silent, and the atmosphere here was indeed very different.

Of course, this is also the reason why Xuan Xinfeng's situation is delicate and it is not appropriate to celebrate it with great fanfare, and it cannot be generalized.

After greetings, Shang Yuxian handed over the Xuanyuan True Water that he had helped to order.

Li Zhen put away the things, and suddenly thought of something: "Yuxian girl, I don't know if you are interested in practicing incense? I can teach you how to make incense incense." ”

When Shang Yuxian heard this, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly: "What does Li Daoyou mean by this?"

Li Zhen said: "I have recently felt that a single tree cannot become a forest, and it is really useless to rely on me to work in vain, so it is better to spread it, so that there will be more incense products in the immortal cultivation world and benefit Taoist friends." ”

Shang Yuxian exclaimed: "Li Daoyou is really high-spirited, such a livelihood skill, he even wants to spread it?"

Li Zhen said: "I can't talk about the skills of making a living, and I have more than one incense recipe on hand, and if I stick to these, sooner or later I will have to become a craftsman."

Besides, this herb-scented recipe is open for monks all over the world to learn, and not necessarily a few people can learn it, and what worries me is not that others will learn it, but that others will not be able to learn it!"

Shang Yuxian said: "That's right, I've heard that those who refine a tool are craftsmen, those who hold a technique are teachers, and those who set up a piece of art are called ancestors, and they should have different practices if they have different aspirations, but for convenience, they will still accept a disciple in the future, so as to pass on the Taoism." ”

Shang Yuxian didn't have any thoughts on the development of incense, and he said such a thing for Li Zhen's consideration.

In the end, there must be a Taoist system and regulations, so as to make it clear what methods can be taught and what needs to be kept in the hand as hole cards.

Li Zhen naturally understood this, and said, "I know, thank you Miss Yuxian for reminding me." ”

Min Lian suddenly interjected: "Li Daoyou, I'm ...... Can I follow along?"

This was a sudden idea for her, and Li Zhen had the intention of preaching and teaching, so he must not care about his own listening.

If you don't have the talent for this, then that's fine, if you have, maybe it's a future.

Li Zhen really didn't mind: "Of course you can." ”

Teaching one is also teaching, teaching two is also teaching, and it saves a little effort.

That is, his reputation is not enough now, otherwise, as Shang Yuxian said, it is only right to open a dojo, recruit disciples, and find some apprentices and disciples to serve him.

The status of master and apprentice in the world of cultivating immortals is recognized even by the Heavenly Dao, and setting the title is determining cause and effect, which is more constrained than the moral norms under the Confucian system.

If it is said that in the mundane world under the Confucian system, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors is only a social death, or it is morally condemned and bears infamy, then it is really a thunderbolt here.

But without a name, this layer of cause and effect is naturally much smaller.

Li Zhen was reluctant to pass on the Fa to outsiders casually without a reputation, wanting to be famous, but he was afraid that no one would come to vote, which would make people laugh.

Moreover, he has not yet sorted out the promotion system of the incense path, and has set the method of refining qi and building a foundation.

It's better to pass on some recipes like this first.

Li Zhen thought so and spoke briefly.

As a result, there is no surprise, just like teaching people to draw horses, Li Zhen carefully taught his own experience, and with a few very simple strokes, he sketched a lifelike image of a horse, but the listener was covered by clouds and mountains and fog, and he did not know the essentials at all.

What he taught was really just the technique of this one, and it didn't involve anything like the basics of painting.

Li Zhen himself was born to know, and his spiritual thoughts are extremely spiritual, as if he instinctively said that he would change, but he suffered Shang Yuxian and Min Lian who listened to the lecture.

Mu Qingsi was listening, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

As Li Zhen's wife, she has already learned these things.

She even has a little more foundation than Shang Yuxian and Min Lian, and knows the basic principles of yin and yang, void and reality, and compatibility.

But......

No just won't!

Li Zhen himself quickly realized this problem.

He knew that he could see the incense, and the operation was as simple as carrying firewood and water, eating and sleeping.

But for others, the incense is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is impossible to learn.

Birds don't have gills, and with the exception of a few gifted special species, can the rest swim in the water?

Fish have no wings, but can they fly except for the flying fish?

Tell you to just flap your wings, that's a big fool.

It's like drawing, you just have to have hands.

But at this moment, Li Zhen suddenly thought that he might be able to do it with the help of some foreign objects.

I shouldn't force them to learn to make grass incense out of thin air, at least they must have a medium substance like gem salt, combined with the power of divine thoughts.

Even if you can't cultivate the essence of the incense, you can only refine the material with the spiritual essence collected in your dreams.

Anyway, I can help me share some refining tasks.

"Stop for a moment, and come with me......"

Li Zhen stopped Shang Yuxian and Min Lian's thinking, and suddenly, in their doubts, beckoned them to go to the nearby Hanxiang Pavilion together and take all the materials to refine them.

This time, in addition to the necessary Xuanyuan True Water, Li Zhen also used a milky white turbid liquid called Shi Ling Fat.

This is a slightly acidic substance similar to a stone stalactite, but different from a stone stalactite, which corresponds to the previous slightly alkaline gem salt.

Naturally, this is also the knowledge learned from the lady of the concubine, and in ancient times, monks have used this substance to extract and transform some herbaceous and plant essences, just like using gem salts to transfer animal fragrances.

Li Zhen has actually tried to use this material to assist in blending and increasing production.

However, unlike the chemical reaction in the mundane world, mixing these mediums, stirring, heating, separating, filtering, extracting, and so on, are all difficult for mortals to complete, and they need to have at least the ability of a Qi refining cultivator to drive away things, and carry out meticulous operations to be able to do so.

Only Qi refining cultivators can detect the changes in this medium with their divine thoughts and grasp the reaction of the changes.

As a result, this time, I really extracted a lot of herbaceous fragrance from the essence of the dream.

This is the basic crude product, refining expensive perfume may still be too much impurity, but refining incense pills, it should be enough.

Li Zhen had tried that the incense products refined with the help of such foreign substances would inevitably be adulterated with impurities, but as long as he made sure that they were harmless, or even if they were harmful, they were within the tolerance of the Qi refining cultivators, it would be successful.

At best, the smoke is a little bigger, the smell is slightly stronger, and the effect is slightly worse......

But the basic blessing effect, so that people's ears and eyes are clear, can still be done.

When Li Zhen tried to explain his thoughts, Shang Yuxian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

In this way, the yield of herb incense can be greatly increased!

It's a big deal to add some flavors or something to cover up, and the stamina that can't be concealed is said to be an inevitable side effect......

If the reckless monk wants to use this thing to save his life and make money, he won't mind, if there are some shoddy things, if the quantity is not increased, maybe it will be more popular!"

Everyone looked at her, looking "I didn't expect you to be such a girl".

Shang Yuxian didn't feel any different, in her opinion, this is the way to make a profit.

Handmade like Li Zhen before, and kept improving, it was simply cheaper for those poor ghosts to cultivate.

Li Zhen coughed embarrassedly, his original intention was not like this, but large-scale production inevitably had these drawbacks.

This kind of thing is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, to increase production capacity, increase production, and effectively meet the needs of the public, but on the other hand, it cannot be done with fine workmanship.

I can only work the price, so that different people have different choices.

"Don't care about that, do you all understand what I've just done? Using this stone spirit fat, you can coarsely sift the essence of the spirit and extract the plant-based fragrance.

This is the method I learned from the monk who got it from his predecessors, and a similar method of preparation has been around since ancient times......

Li Zhen hurriedly changed the topic, always feeling that it was too dangerous for the monks to discuss this, but God really has eyes.

"I don't understand. Shang Yuxian said confidently.

This thing makes people look at it, and she really doesn't have the patience and talent to delve into it.

Although Li Zhen used the stone spirit grease and greatly reduced the difficulty of making the herb incense through the method of extracting the essence of the spirit, the basic knowledge and operation experience are still indispensable.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the sake of getting close to and currying favor with Li Zhen, she wouldn't even have the patience to watch, let alone study seriously.

Min Lian snorted: "I don't know much either, but I've memorized the production steps, can you give me some materials to try?"

Li Zhen sighed slightly, and didn't have much hope, but he still said tolerantly: "Okay, I'll extract some spirit essence raw materials here for you, you can try it." ”
