Chapter 14: The Manifestation of the Clouds

After Pei Shilang and the officials of the Incense Affairs Bureau left, Li Zhen was in a good mood and returned to the inner garden with a smile on his face.

"Husband, what are you laughing at?" the Ninth Princess asked curiously.

"I'm thinking, that Pei Shilang is really a talent. Li Zhen did not hesitate to praise, "This is probably what immortal masters often say about useful people, the immortal sect rules the country of mortal people, and never distinguishes between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, only to see if it is useful." ”

The ninth princess asked for details, and learned that Pei Shilang actually relied on his erudition and strong knowledge to make Li Zhen comfortable, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "That husband can be regarded as a wise eye, there are countless talented people in the world, and only when he can meet his husband who appreciates his benefactor like this, can he have the opportunity to soar." ”

Li Zhen said: "That's right, it's a pity, it shouldn't be like this." ”

The Ninth Princess said, "Why do you say that?"

Li Zhen shook his head, so that he would not be bored with himself, and discussed this esoteric but boring topic with his wife: "Don't talk about this, I have a whim today, and I am going to find a way to help you cultivate Yunsha, and I will surprise you in a few days." ”

The Ninth Princess was immediately attracted by this matter: "Help me cultivate Yunsha? Heaven is pitiful, since I obtained the Fa at the beginning of the month, I haven't cultivated any famous hall, what kind of method is it?"

Li Zhen said: "It's not a surprise to say it, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

The ninth princess said angrily: "My husband is really good at making trouble, I know that people are anxious, and I still come to tease me, say it quickly." ”

Li Zhen smiled and talked about him left and right, just deliberately not saying it, trying to tease her.

Three days later, in the Hanxiang Pavilion, Li Zhen weighed the spices with a small balance made of gold.

At this moment, the silver spoon in his hand was poured into a ground precious spice, which was in the form of a black powder.

The Ninth Princess couldn't help but be curious, she had been circling around him for the past few days of cultivation, and when she saw this, she couldn't help asking, "Husband, what is this?"

Li Zhen held the weight with tweezers and explained: "This is ambergris, also known as dragon belly incense, the source of which has many theories, and it is actually produced by sperm whales. ”

"The smoke produced by burning this thing can float in the air, condense but not disperse, and even use scissors to divide the wisps, and the world is said to have mirage after the tower. ”

"Since ancient times, there are records of fishermen fishing ambergris in coastal areas, its fragrant white ones are like white medicine decoction, greasy and very fine, black ones are like five spirit fat, the surface is shiny, but the breath is dry, I am now using black ambergris, the quality is slightly inferior to the white variety. ”

The mirage building is the legendary mirage, the ancients did not know the principle of refraction, and blamed it on the illusion formed by the breath of the mirage of the genus of clams.

But in this world, there are mirage spirits who can do this kind of thing, and they have the talent to create illusions and generate large-scale towers.

Li Zhen plans to use this substance to mix the new incense he needs, hoping that it can be like the spiritual incense that secretly blends with the Tao and has the magical effect of creating clouds.

The Ninth Princess was puzzled: "Why don't you use the white one, didn't you just say that the black ambergris is of slightly inferior quality?"

Li said: "Because I want to use it to make cigarettes, the spice flavor and the fragrance of birth are the key, not the rarer and more precious, the better." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused slightly, and said meaningfully: "All things are born with their own uses, and there is not necessarily a certain standard that can measure everything." ”

The Ninth Princess nodded as if she didn't understand, and watched Li Zhen continue to weigh a crystalline substance shaped like rock sugar: "What is this?"

Li explained: "This is made of borneol made by distilling and recrystallizing dipterocarp leaves or resin in water, also known as plum chips, plum ice, if extracted from Aina leaves, it can be called mugwort chips, but I use the former today." ”

Then there is a slightly rough disc, which is also ground and poured into a clay pot to mix.

Li Zhen explained: "This is a kind of snail incense, one of the incense sticks, the so-called incense sticks, which are made from the shelter collected from specific snail seafood, and there is also a saying that it is made of snail shells, but I only take the lower part of the belly here." ”

The ninth princess said, "Can this also be used to make incense?"

Then I saw Li Zhen add something to the clay pot, which seemed to be plant oil.

This time, the ninth princess finally recognized what Li Zhen had added, and said, "This is Suhe sesame oil?"

Li Zhen said: "Yes, this thing is also known as the emperor ointment, the emperor oil flow, is the use of the ancient method of squeezing the fragrant resin after hurting the bark of the witch hazel tree, its sweet and warm taste, can open the body and remove phlegm, can treat stroke coma, phlegm congestion, sudden pain in the heart and abdomen, severe vomiting diarrhea and other symptoms. ”

As he spoke, Li put the mixed spices and lumps under his nose, gently fanned them with his hands, and sniffed the smell.

Fu closed his eyes again, and used his gifted visualization to sense the fragrance after manifestation.

"Seems right!"

"Sure enough, ambergris should be black instead of white, borneol should be used dipterosaurus instead of camphor incense, and snail incense and Suhe sesame oil should be added to astringent ......"

He tried all these subtleties in the same way, and the proportions of each were also very particular.

Li Zhen's face was overjoyed, and he was busy recording it with a homemade hard pen, and then said to the ninth princess: "Let's go outside and light it and try it." ”

The Ninth Princess was a little confused at first, but when she went outside and lit the incense block, she understood why she was doing this.

The smell of the new incense was dry, not very bad, but the smoke was strong, and after a while, it spread and formed a big mess.

The smoke condensed and did not disperse, forming a mushroom-shaped cloud that grew as the incense burned and increased.

Li Zhen said: "You can use the method to try it." ”

The Ninth Princess did as she was told, and after a while, she opened her eyes and said in surprise: "You can sacrifice!"

The mushroom-shaped clouds move without wind and begin to move up and down, left and right, under the control of their minds.

"I didn't use the means of exorcism, this is the real Cloud Escape Method!" the Ninth Princess reminded, "but it seems that it is still very thin and not enough to stand on people." ”

Li Zhen said: "Then use the method to compress." ”

The ninth princess said, "Yes." ”

Li Zhen said: "In your opinion, how much can the efficiency of cultivating Yun Dun be increased by using this smoke cloud?"

The ninth princess thought for a moment and said, "I can't estimate the exact amount, but at least it is more than ten times." ”

Li Zhen said: "There are so many? Okay, you can use this new incense to cooperate with your cultivation, and try to see if you can fly manned after condensing to a certain level." ”

The ninth princess agreed with great interest, immediately closed her eyes, and once again sacrificed the smoke of the newborn.

At this time, Li Zhen had a whim, urging his talent to visualize the smell and absorb the overflowing fragrance from it.

The Ninth Princess did not have the slightest abnormality, and seemed to be unaffected.

Li Zhen guessed that the smoke in it was at the macro material level, while the fragrance was at the spiritual level, and the two were in different dimensions.

However, Li Zhen still made incense again, made a batch of suitable food for himself and the ninth princess, and then cultivated separately.

At this time, his efficiency in absorbing incense seemed to increase, which was the benefit of the surge in divine thoughts.

It seems that the previous guess was correct, as the divine consciousness and thoughts become stronger and stronger, the efficiency of eating incense and refining souls will also increase.

What made Li Zhen even more overjoyed was that the fragrance of this new incense product was quite unique, and the efficiency of transforming Yunsha alone was indeed quite high, according to his own estimates, it was more than 100 times that of usual!

"My cultivation talent is far superior to Qingsi?"

"Or maybe it's because my perception is more sensitive, and I can accurately distinguish and absorb the fragrance, forget it, I'll study these later, and then I will enhance Yun Dun first. ”

That night, Li Zhen went out of his body again and tried the Cloud Escape Method, and was immediately shocked by the immediate improvement effect.

"My speed has increased by nearly fifty percent!"

In the past, it could fly more than 70 miles in an hour, but now it has reached more than 100 miles, and the limit should be 120 miles.

That's 60 kilometers per hour, which is the speed limit of a mundane fast horse!

"This incense is indeed useful, and it is better to call it raw cloud incense. ”

"The clouds condensed from this are something that has never been seen before, or may be called a mirage cloud. ”

After coming to a wilderness, Li Zhen thought of his purpose in making this incense, in addition to using the smoke to refine the clouds and improve the efficiency of Yun Dun's cultivation, he also used the magic power to condense the tangible incense, so as to give birth to the ability to manifest the saint.

He is a high-minded man who wants to create his own magic spells and find his own path.

This is not reckless, but since he gave up the spiritual root aura and embarked on the road of eating incense and refining the soul, he had to take this risk.

What he is going to take is the path of incense that no one in this world has ever walked, there is no current success method, no experience of predecessors, therefore, no matter whether the immortals and demons are good or evil, all kinds of paths, methods, they must be studied, so that there will be hope for promotion.

Li Zhen recalled the general outline of the Three Treasures Refining Technique and the principle of refining the evil spirit that he had pondered in the past few days, and fused the divine soul knowledge given by the ancestor to visualize and save his mind, but he did not completely copy it, and began to try.

This time, he is multi-purpose, and he has brought the value of Shengyunxiang to the extreme.

The smoke produced by this incense can condense Yunsha and help a Tianyun Sect disciple like the Nine Princesses to cultivate Yunxuan;

Incense can be transformed into a cloud that can be used in the spirit state, increasing the power of cloud escape.

In addition to this, another great use is also based on talent and fragrance.

That is the means of condensing tangible incense and cultivating the state of the spirit body!

"The great monks are out of their bodies, and their spirit bodies are not as weak as mine, because they have mana, and they can also cast most of the magic spells and use magic weapons in the spirit state. ”

"I lack gold in the five elements, I can't refine the aura of the five elements, build a balance of the five elements, and my cultivation realm is low, and even the power of my divine thoughts is less than three or two...... Except that the pure spirit body is at a higher level than the ordinary yin spirit and is not easy to be noticed, there are almost no other advantages to speak of. ”

"This situation should not continue forever, extraordinary supernatural means must be cultivated. ”

This time, what Li Zhen wants to pursue is the real reliance from the spiritual influence to the material, which can act on the macrocosm like the power of mind.

Li Zhen put forward the concept of Xiangsha based on his natural ability of suspected Xiangling Root, which also borrowed from the Five Elements Aura and the two qi of Yin and Yang.

He could visualize the smell and make the incense manifest, and theoretically, he could refine the fragrance in the same way that other monks had refined the Five Elements Spiritual Qi and transform it into a stream of evil.

When the accumulation reaches a certain limit, the spirit transforms, and the mana is transformed, that is the foundation building realm.

The result did not disappoint him, his mind had difficulty carrying the material, but it was easy to carry the incense condensed by these smells, and in a short time, it was gurgling and flowing.

In the midst of an indescribable transformation, it was as if there was a torrent enveloping the whole body.

Bang!

In the void, there seemed to be bursts of thunder, and the spirit body instantly expanded, as if the whole person had expanded in a circle.

The wind is overflowing, and the two air flows around the body, like an invisible flame.

Not far ahead, there seemed to be a wild beast in the bushes, and the birds around them fluttered their wings and flew out.

Li Zhen didn't pay attention to it, just his thoughts moved, and Bai Mang appeared out of thin air, hitting the mud with a bang.

The speed of this thing was obviously beyond that of Feidu, and its strength was far beyond that of the flesh, and it made a shallow pit the size of a fist.

It's like...... It's like a double object blatantly impacting!

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "It's really done!"

The means by which spirits influence the physical world are collectively referred to as manifestations, which are variations that include the shaping of the yin spirit and the exorcism of the gods, but in general, these two are excluded because they are only the most basic part.

After all, it is necessary to refine the evil and condense the entity, so that it can be regarded as a manifestation in the true sense.

"The so-called refining of qi, yin and yang are born together, and the virtual and the real change. ”

"The positive is turned into Gang, the negative is turned into evil, the five elements of aura have yin and yang, and the fragrance should naturally be there. ”

"As for the soul nature of the yin, the easiest thing for me to practice now is the incense, this idea is really correct. ”

Li Zhen then looked at himself and found that the spirit seemed to be glowing, which was completely different from the previous texture.

"Successfully refining Gangsha means actualization, even if you don't use blinding or stealth techniques, ordinary things can observe my existence with divine consciousness and even with the naked eye. ”

"But correspondingly, I now also have a multiplier of vision, more consciousness. ”

This increase is all-encompassing, as if the spirit body has been draped in a shell, and has a yin body like a yin spirit and a ghost.

"It's not tangible, but it's tangible. ”

This is the most intuitive feeling of Li Zhen.

This is essentially a kind of spiritual transformation, and the change is actually the change of yin and yang, which can lead to the foundation level.

Li Zhen was quite excited, not only for his own success, but also for finding the right path.

He actually didn't lack the conditions for cultivation, but the path of spiritual root qi refining was blocked, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Once you find another way to cultivate, your current wealth, status, and various conveniences can be quickly transformed and come in handy.

Soon after, Li Zhen calmed down and returned to the state of pure spirit nothingness.

This is another experience, the whole body is like smoke.

"I should practice a lot and be able to change as soon as possible. ”

"If I can master this kind of power, I can even have a power comparable to a magic weapon, and with the advantage that I can be as out-of-body as a great monk in the mortal realm, it is simply unbeatable!"
