Volume 1 The Elephant of Heaven and Earth Chapter 45 King Dan
After walking for a while, the two came to a place, only to see that the white mist was filled, and a burst of extremely rich wood spirit qi came to the face, faintly revealing the red wall and green tiles behind it, as if it was a delicate and beautiful garden. The two looked left and right, but saw that a demon beast was gone, and they didn't know why.
Walking further, through the fog, the two came to the gate of the garden, only to see the maroon door half-opened. Liang Cheng checked carefully, but found that there was no formation prohibition here, and he couldn't help but look at Shi Meng, this situation that was too smooth felt a little unreal, and it made people feel unsettled in their hearts.
Liang Cheng said: "Let's go in, there is no turning back from the bow, since I have arrived here, I have to go in first." Shi Meng nodded and walked in first.
Entering the garden, I saw that the rockery and strange rocks inside were stacked on top of each other, and the small bridge was gurgling. The cloister has nine songs, and the pavilions and pavilions are arranged with great ingenuity. It's just that the trees and weeds and flowers in the garden are too vigorous, the leaves are everywhere, the cobwebs can be seen everywhere, the courtyard walls in the low damp places are crawling with moss and lichens, and even the entire buildings in many places are covered with ivy. It looks like it's been a long time since there was no human being.
The two of them walked into a few houses casually, and they felt like they had walked into the long-abandoned residence of a large family, and they could feel the exquisite and comfortable furnishings of the previous home, and there were many rare and valuable things in the mortal world, but from the eyes of the monk, they had no value.
Disappointed, the two walked to the open area and looked into the distance. After looking at it for a while, Shi Meng pointed to a courtyard in the distance and said, "Brother Cheng, look, this courtyard is different, let's go over and have a look." Liang Cheng followed Shi Meng's point and looked over, and saw that the courtyard was indeed different from other places, it looked brand new and spotless, this situation showed one thing, that is, that place was shrouded in the formation, and it was difficult for ordinary foreign objects such as dust to invade. Liang Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, since he was protected by the formation, he must have its value, so he and Shi Meng went straight to the courtyard.
Walked to the courtyard, only to see one of the exquisite pavilions faintly emitting light, Liang Cheng carefully looked around, and found that this building was just laid out a common dust avoidance formation, this formation is very common, Liang Cheng himself in the cave in the sect has this formation, used to isolate the dust, save the need to clean up from time to time, this is the convenience of monks and mortals, saving time and worry about the cleaning technique, it can be said that everyone can be a monk, without any effect of blocking the attack.
Seeing that there was no obstacle, Liang Cheng and the others pushed the door and walked into the room on the first floor of the pavilion. After entering the door, I was surprised, where is this the appearance of a room, it is completely a primeval jungle, I hurriedly looked back, only to find that the door that came in was gone, the two of them were surrounded by tall trees that covered the sky and the sun, and the humus soil formed by the accumulation of dead branches and leaves under their feet was several feet thick, and under the giant trees were all kinds of shrubs and climbing vines tangled and entangled, and everywhere I saw was a sea of plants, unable to identify the direction, and there was no way out at all.
Shi Meng said: "Isn't this a phantom array? But it's not like it, it looks like these things are real, is this an independent space?" After speaking, he shook his head again and again, and it was not easy to see the clue.
When Liang Cheng Shi Meng was looking around, he suddenly saw an old man with white beard and white hair, wearing a very old robe style, and full of fairy wind and bones, descended from the sky, and fell in front of him. The old man smiled, glanced at Liang Cheng and Shi Meng, and said, "I didn't expect that a young man in the foundation building period could have an eighth-level contract demon beast, no wonder such a little cultivation can also come here." ”
Shi Meng muttered for a while, and had the heart to explain that he was not an ordinary contract beast, thinking about it, he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and he couldn't explain it to such a stranger, so he had to stop, and his heart was depressed for a while, just staring at the old man angrily.
After staring at it for a long time, Shi Meng was surprised: "Hey, old man, you are not a real person, just a wisp of remnant soul." ”
"Your eyes are okay, the old man's body has indeed fallen for tens of thousands of years, this remnant soul is immortal, and it is also an obsession, I hope to find someone who is destined to pass on my mantle, alas!" The old man sighed when he said this, and looked at Liang Cheng: "Young man, your cultivation is too low, and it is impossible to enter this place." But since you have already come in, and it seems that there is also a bit of heat on the side of the elixir, this can be regarded as a fate with the old man, as long as you can pass the following test, the old man's Shenmu Honglu will be passed on to you. ”
"Shenmu Honglu!" Shi Meng exclaimed: "It turns out that you are Xue Muqing, the king of Dan!"
The old man replied: "The old man is Xue Muqing, but the word Danwang can't afford it, the pill is as vast as a sea of smoke, the old man only knows a little bit about it, this Danwang word is a word of praise given by later generations." ”
"Deserve it. Shi Meng's eyes were full of admiration and he said eagerly: "Senior, if you can't afford the title of Dan King, then no one can afford it." ”
The name of Danwang Xue Muqing, Liang Cheng has seen many times in various documents when he studied the pills, that is about 30,000 years ago became famous Dandao masters, there are many alchemy techniques, extraction and concoction techniques are created by this Dan King Xue Muqing, and have been used until the present world, it can be said that Xue Muqing's name, the monks of the Yanfu world are all known, Liang Cheng often remembers the former sages, and yearns for the deeds of the Dan King, and now suddenly hearing this name, Liang Cheng really feels like thunder, full of worship.
Xue Muqing didn't care about these later reputations, and only said, "Okay, pay attention, this test has begun." After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, a stream of green smoke drifted towards Shi Meng, Shi Meng was immediately shrouded in this smoke, unable to dodge, this green smoke dissipated not long after, but Shi Meng felt that the spiritual power in his body was tight, and gradually did not work, and was in a locked state.
"This mist is called the spiritual breath lock, which can lock the spiritual power of the cultivator, you have three hours to find materials to refine the elixir to release the spiritual power lock, the overtime or the invalidity of the elixir is counted as a failure, and the materials and appliances required for alchemy can be found in the house. Saying that, Xue Muqing waved the sleeves of his robe, and a hut appeared behind him, and then sat down cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word, but he seemed to be settled.
Liang Cheng has never heard of such a thing that can lock the spiritual power of a cultivator, this thing is powerful, if the spiritual power is locked in the fighting method, isn't it a dead end, and he worships this Dan King a little more in his heart. On the other hand, Liang Cheng is still very confident in his own ability, believing that he will definitely be able to refine the antidote within the specified time.
At that moment, Liang Cheng pulled Shi Meng into the hut, and began to analyze the condition of the spiritual lock in Shi Meng's house while checking the various elixir materials provided in the house, only to see that all kinds of elixirs had been prepared and classified very clearly. It's just that Liang Cheng has never seen a lot of spiritual materials, it can be said that he has never heard of them, it is estimated that they are commonly used varieties when medicinal materials were abundant in ancient times, and with the gradual decline of the Yanfu Realm to the present, these spiritual materials are very rare, maybe many of them have become extinct.
But these can't help Liang Cheng, because there has long been a kind of divine thought analysis technique in the world, and Liang Cheng has already firmly mastered it when he learned the Dan Dao, and he can separate a wisp of divine thought and analyze the ingredients and effects of spiritual materials.
If there was no such analysis technique, then so many spiritual materials in the cultivation realm, even if it was the same variety of spiritual herb elixir, the effects of growing in different environments would be different, or even diametrically opposed, and the effects could not be analyzed, so there would be no alchemy.
Liang Cheng quickly found the right spiritual materials, took out his Dan furnace, and refined them one by one. There are also a few good Dan furnaces available in the hut, but the Dan furnace that Liang Cheng is using now comes from the gift of Taiqing Lao Dao, although the quality may not be as good as the one in the hut, but it has been used for a long time, and it has been used smoothly, so there is no need to change it.
Liang Cheng is not in a hurry and slowly prepares the materials, and the fire source used is a wisp of earth fire attracted from the house, the temperature of this fire source is average, and it is not too good to use it for alchemy, but it is stable and durable. Liang Cheng was only a monk in the foundation building period, and he did not form a true pill, so there was no Dan fire available, so he could only do so.
It took more than an hour, and all the raw materials were refined, but Liang Cheng fell into deep thought, only feeling that although the alchemy could remove most of the control of the spiritual breath lock, it could not be lifted cleanly, and there were still some remnants that could not be removed, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, but looking at all the materials in the hut, there was no suitable type to add, and he felt embarrassed for a while, and thought hard.
After pondering for a while, Liang Cheng patted his thigh and said happily: "There is." Got up and walked out of the house, into the jungle, and after a while, a plant that looked like a purple chrysanthemum was dug out, and I saw that the roots were thick, Liang Cheng cut off the roots with a knife, washed them in the mountain spring, and walked to the hut happily.
Shi Meng stood in the middle of the house, and saw that Liang Cheng did not go to alchemy, but ran to the forest to dig something, so he followed out and asked, "What is this?"
"This is atractylodes, which has the effects of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, drying dampness and improving water, stopping perspiration and stabilizing the fetus. ”
"Safe, safe...... What is this, brother, are you serious?" Shi Meng was stunned.
"You just heard that a safe fetus, strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, why can't you hear it?" Liang Cheng expressed dissatisfaction.
"Brother Cheng, can you be serious, no matter how you say this thing, it is also a mortal medicine, how can it be refined into the Danli, besides, what if this test is only allowed to use the medicinal materials in the hut?"
"I've thought about it, alchemy, you shouldn't eat the ancients, you have to have the idea of improvisation, since you can have better results, why be limited by all kinds of rules and regulations. Liang Cheng said as he entered the house and found a pot stove, reached out to the center of the bottom of the stove after taking the pot, and used a knife to "click" to dig out a few clods of soil.
"This, this...... What kind of trouble is this?" Shi Meng really couldn't understand.
"Don't look at this thing as just a perennial sintered clod at the bottom of the stove, but the doctor calls it Fulong liver, which is needed to prepare atractylodes. Liang Cheng explained, while cutting the atractylodes into slices, pinching Fulong's liver into soil ashes, carefully wrapping the atractylodes, and then slowly drying them, shaking off the soil ashes.
It didn't take long for all the materials to be ready, and there was still an hour and a half left, Liang Cheng was very satisfied, and began to raise the fire to heat the Dan furnace, preparing to refine the pill.
