Chapter 18: Miraculous Effects
Hearing Li Zhen's words, Huang Yunzhen was rarely silent.
After a while, he said: "When I say try to be satisfied, I mean the normal use, if you want to get some magic weapons and pills for your own use, it's okay to say, don't mention research and the like, it's a bottomless pit at all." ”
Li Zhen said: "I don't dare to think about the grade spiritual materials for the time being, and those that don't enter the stream are good, and those can be collected by the secular dynasty." ”
Huang Yunzhen said: "If you don't enter the stream, it's not an extraordinary product, just for you, don't use it for others?"
Li Zhen said: "The sect has always had clear rewards and punishments, if you want anything else, just fight for it yourself." ”
Huang Yunzhen said: "If you can produce immediate results, then that's all, even if you rely on spiritual materials to build a foundation, it's also a skill, but what are you doing with those things?
"Didn't you praise me last time for making people feel at ease?" Li Zhen secretly slandered himself, and hurriedly corrected: "Ancestor, that's called a test, not 'grinding powder burned'......"
Huang Yunzhen said: "It's all the same anyway. ”
Li Zhen was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain to the old lady.
After thinking about it, Li Zhen simply said: "Didn't you just say that the sect plans to give me a treasure for self-defense? ”
Huang Yunzhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "Don't even want self-defense treasures?"
Li Zhen said: "Don't." ”
He knows exactly what is really useful right now.
Taking a few steps back, even if the incense of those spiritual materials is not very useful, it does not mean that it is really useless.
It can be used to cultivate his wife, the Ninth Princess, and if she can quickly be promoted to the middle or even late stage of Qi refining, her safety will be more guaranteed.
There are even some spiritual materials that are good for strengthening the body and prolonging life.
Although he can eat incense and refine his soul, his physical body is still very weak and needs to be nourished.
Huang Yun is truly humane: "That's it, just as you wish, talk to the sect." ”
After a pause, he said, "However, only this once, not for example." ”
Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I see that there are also some spiritual materials in the royal city, you might as well ask each family and department to send some samples first, and then I will think about it after I try to find out which ones are suitable for use." ”
"In the future, we can't patronize it for our own use, get some spiritual incense that has been spread and exchange spiritual materials with other sects, anyway, there is no need to keep it secret. ”
"I know that the monks all ask for their divine powers to return their powers, these mundane transactions are not of much benefit, but at least there are disciples and mortals to do it for them, and they can get back some of their roots, and if they make a stable living in the future, they can also feed back to the sect, which is a great thing. ”
Huang Yunzhen thought about it, and finally agreed: "Yes." ”
Even though the communication ended.
Li Zhen didn't have time to ask the ancestor how to implement it, but if he wanted to ask, it was in vain that the ancestor was too lazy to care about such trivial matters, and most of them still fell on his head.
But now, even he feels that his own cultivation is important, and it is better to hand it over to the newly established Incense Affairs Bureau.
The next day, Li Zhen summoned Pei Shilang and told him his intentions.
Pei Shilang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Master Horse, please rest assured, the errand you gave me will definitely be done!"
Collect spiritual materials...... What does this mean, it means power!
The Incense Affairs Bureau has obtained the decree of the ancestor and has the right to requisition spiritual material-grade spices from various families and ministries, what a good opportunity is this?
Li Zhen said: "Right now, the immortal masters all know that the spiritual incense is useful, but to be honest, the use is not too great, at best it can only be regarded as a small use. ”
"If you can find great use in those spiritual materials, you should understand what this will bring. ”
Pei Shilang said: "Xiaguan understands. ”
Li Zhen waved his hand: "Okay, you go and prepare." ”
Sent away Pei Shilang, and Lu Zheng, the foundation building monk who had appeared last time, came one after another.
He was ordered by the law and came here to hand over to Li Chen.
Lu Zheng still didn't go to the main gate, but flew directly into the mansion, looked at Li Zheng with a somewhat unbelievable expression, and said as soon as they met: "It's amazing, the above actually values you so much." ”
He sighed, took out an object from the bag he was carrying, and said to Li Zhen: "This is given to you by the sect, a lot of spiritual materials, and even a few valuables, sealed with a ban, even I don't know what it is." ”
It was a magic weapon's bag, Li Zhen took it, and under the divine sense, he found a lot of things.
He handed the bag to the ninth princess who rushed over after hearing the news: "Qingsi, you came just in time, help me open it." ”
The ninth princess knew that he was a mortal, so she opened it on her behalf, and then helped to check.
After a while, after the inventory was completed, Li Zhen said to Lu Zheng: "Senior Lu, there is no problem, I have kept you waiting for a long time." ”
Lu Zheng didn't say much, just urged Li Zhen to hand over this month's tribute to him, and then left.
The Ninth Princess looked at Li Zhen and said with a little surprise: "How can there be so many spiritual materials? ”
Li Zhen said: "This is the reward for the last time I offered the soul return incense, and it seems that that thing has attracted the attention of the great monks. ”
The ninth princess said happily: "Really? That's really wonderful! In addition to believing in the spiritual incense, the husband has more rejuvenating incense to make a living, and after a while, there will be another living cloud incense to report, even if he gives a monk a future, it is not a problem." ”
Li Zhen said: "How can it be so easy, forcibly promoting mortals to monks, that is a real change of life against the sky." ”
The Ninth Princess said: "Didn't the ancestor already promise to help you refine your mortal bones after achieving the Yuan Infant?"
Li Zhen smiled when he heard this, but did not speak.
The ancestor promised this to be good, and the monk made a promise, the higher the cultivation, the more awe of cause and effect, and there is no reason to regret it for no reason.
But the monk's concept of time is completely different from that of mortals, who knows if he can't wait for the ancestor to become a primordial infant at the end of his life?
Due to the spiritual materials involved, the two did not call the servants to help, and moved to the room in the Hanxiang Pavilion by themselves and put it away.
After finishing his work, Li Zhen looked at the list again and was deeply satisfied with the results this time.
Tianyun Sect did not treat him badly, and there were as many as 100 spiritual materials given to him, among which there were still some rare treasures, which could be called the best among the spiritual materials that did not enter the stream.
There are even two of them that have entered the stream, and under normal circumstances, they can only be used by foundation monks.
One of the mint-like leaves is called the purple vein leaf, which is often used by monks to refresh their minds and to chew and detoxify when encountering poisonous mist and miasma.
Its effect is very magical, it can solve most aerosol poisons.
The other is the ginseng with a special red spot, which smells like a saponin common with ginseng.
This kind of thing must be more than 100 years old before it can be called a spiritual material, and more than 1,000 years before it can be put into the stream.
However, Li Zhen did not prioritize the study of them, but planned to deal with the spiritual materials that he had collected before.
Seeing Li Zhen fiddling with those, the Ninth Princess asked curiously, "Husband, haven't you ever made these kinds of spiritual materials to study before?"
Li Zhen said casually: "I didn't learn the art before, and there may be omissions." ”
In fact, at that time, the talent was not awakened, and the fragrance was not seen.
Now that his talent has awakened, the criteria for judging have become clearer, that is, to distinguish the fragrance.
Li Zhen has recently summed up some rules about incense.
Everything has a smell, and incense has its own spirit, and all the fragrance that can be used can be called active, and what cannot be used is called inert.
However, there seems to be no uniform standard between activity and inertness, which can be stimulated through specific combinations and concoction techniques, just like many ordinary synthetic Shinling incense.
The focus of his research will be to explore these laws in order to truly grasp the essence of incense.
As a result, research has become extremely efficient and can be consumed dramatically.
"I really don't have to lose this time, I can keep some for my own use after research, or use it for Qingsi......"
As he spoke, a new idea suddenly came to him.
"But no matter what, a foreign object is always a foreign object......"
"It's not for nothing that the immortals have little interest in supporting research. ”
"Is there a way to truly turn it into a supernatural change, or even find an inexhaustible source of food aroma?"
"One is an external object, and the other is a supernatural power attributed to one's own body, and the meaning is completely different......"
Together, this thought can no longer be erased.
......
"Master Horse, Pei Shilang from the Incense Affairs Bureau asks to see you. ”
Eight days later, in the Horse Mansion, Hanxiang Pavilion, the servants reported to Li Zhengyu.
"Call him in. Li Zhen said as he put down the book in his hand.
Pei Shilang has recently become a frequent visitor to the Horse Mansion, and has sent several batches of spiritual material samples one after another, and this time he should have come for this matter.
Sure enough, after Pei Shilang came in to pay a visit, he said to him: "Master Horse, a new batch of samples has been sent, please take a look." ”
In front of the large table where Li Zheng usually makes incense and incense, Pei Shilang carefully placed a few brocade boxes on it, and then opened it.
The brocade box had been properly separated by a wooden grille, and the things inside were suddenly presented in front of him, and the spiritual material samples were neatly placed.
Li Zhen glanced at it quietly, sniffed the smell coming from the air, and was soon attracted by the wisp of foreign fragrance that he had been concerned about for a long time.
That's Magic Finger Wood......
It's finally here!
"Yes, there are a few new varieties that I haven't seen before. ”
Li Zhen nodded with a smile, deeply satisfied.
Pei Shilang said: "The satisfaction of the master is the driving force of our incense affairs bureau. ”
Li Zhen said: "You go back first, and make persistent efforts in the future." ”
Seeing Pei Shilang leave happily, Li Zhen summoned the servants and told him to focus on making incense and not to disturb him for the time being, so he closed the door and got busy.
In the past few days, he has successfully found several existences that can promote special fragrances, but any one of them alone has no obvious effect, and intends to use them as spiritual materials, containing the characteristics of spiritual essence, to fully explore the effect.
It would be great if you could use this to improve the recipe of the incense.
Soon, however, Li found himself failing.
Blindly mixing and matching spices cannot synthesize spiritual fragrances, they are simply mixed together, and cannot complete fusion and transformation.
"There is no new fragrance. Li Zhen sighed lightly, but was not too disappointed.
In fact, it would be strange if it was just mixed up like this and it would be successful.
He had been prepared for this, and soon he had made it with a few other mortal spices.
This time, he decided to ignore the other spiritual materials, and first specialized in the magic finger wood, and thoroughly understood its fragrant properties.
That's when he found another problem.
"This fragrant wood...... Failed to make incense!"
The key to agarwood is resin, not wood.
Some are fungal infections that require certain conditions to develop.
Li Zhen thought about the piece of incense he saw last time, and compared the wooden branch in his hand again, and found that the spiritual material was worthy of being a spiritual material, and the branches the size of a single finger had rich resin, and they had begun to integrate into the fiber by natural penetration alone.
"I'm afraid that they all already have the potential to generate Qi Nan. ”
Qi Nan is the best among the agarwood, also known as Ganan incense, agar.
Usually in a large piece of high-quality agarwood, a very small amount of essence can be called Qi Nan, or even no at all.
In the hand, of course, there can be no Qi Nan, not even the agarwood that has been formed, and it belongs to the wood that has not yet metamorphosed.
If the effect of the yellow wax agarwood you saw last time is regarded as a hundred, then the one in front of you is ten at best.
Despite this, it is ten times more than the spirit incense of Xinling.
Moreover, its total volume does not look low.
Li Zhen was ruthless: "No matter what, directly use it to replace the part of the agarwood in the Xinling incense and use it as agarwood!"
This may lead to failure, but it is also possible that it is a qualitative transformation!
This is a step that must be taken no matter what, even if it is obtained again in the future, it still needs to be compared through some failure cases.
So I started to do it right away.
After a busy time, a strange fragrance emerged, which lifted Li Zhen's spirits.
"It seems to have mutated ......"
"This kind of fragrance is really unprecedented!"
This time, the fragrance of the spirit incense seems to be dyed with a faint golden yellow in the induction, and it looks like a resin-like amber texture, and it looks like a dragon and snake phantom churning in the air, which is much more agile.
Ingest a small amount carefully, and a violent reaction is born immediately.
"This fragrance...... It's a hundredfold effective!"
"It's really done!"
Strictly speaking, it is not a hundredfold, at best it is eighty times.
In order to be convenient and fast, Li Zhen did not strictly follow the ancient process of Xinlingxiang to select the time and make a full ritual, and the quality inevitably declined.
However, relying on the fine regulation of the fragrance synthesis, he still achieved the level of excellence.
He knows that he can do better, so he will say that it is a hundred times more effective.
This is almost the same as the finished spice product obtained at the water monkey's nest last time.
I couldn't wait to burn incense, eat incense, refine souls, and test a full set, and finally confirmed that the number of incense after this improvement of Xinling incense far exceeded one million, reaching as much as one and a half million.
This also means that just one copy has increased Li Zhen's divine power by a full three or two.
What's more, as one of the materials, the magic finger wood, consumes one portion, and a full ten parts of the spirit incense are made.
It's worth more than expected!
