Chapter 117: No Blessings to Suffer
An hour later, in the corner of the hall of the Cape City Inn, Pan Long placed the Nedan in the glass bottle on the table.
Thanks to Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao, the world of Kyushu has long been discovered and able to make glass. But the manufacturing process of colorless glass is more complicated, and neither of them knows. Unless it is purified by a spell to fade it, the only thing Kyushu World is able to produce is traditional green glass.
The glass bottle that Pan Long took out was colorless - this thing was strictly speaking "quartz glass", made of pure quartz sand, or simply broken pieces of crystal powder, which was melted and reshaped at high temperatures.
It costs a lot, but it's still cheaper than colorless glass purified with spells.
Pan Long also considered whether to study the technology of colorless glass - he vaguely remembered that the reason why ordinary glass was green was because it contained divalent iron ions, and adding appropriate manganese dioxide could reduce the green divalent iron to the tri-yellow trivalent iron, and then the purple trivalent manganese ions and the yellow trivalent iron ions If the ratio is appropriate, the final effect is colorless glass.
...... Of course, this kind of "colorless glass" is considered "quasi-colorless", which is much worse than the "true colorless" of quartz glass. But the cost gap is enough to turn this business into a big gold mine that is making money every day.
But how to do this technology, Pan Long needs to build a research institute, get a few experimental kilns, and slowly explore it......
Looking at the inner Dan who was bound by Pan Long's true qi and could not exude evil qi in this glass bottle, Wu Jixing, Sun Qiongyu, Ding Lao Hum and Song Xiaoha all widened their eyes, and their faces were full of curiosity.
"That's what it is...... That snake demon's Nedan?" Song Xiaoha asked, "A Nedan who has returned to the true realm?"
"It's not just about getting back to basics. Pan Long said, "If it weren't for our conspiracy to sabotage it, perhaps it would have been able to forcibly pile up its own accumulation to the point of unity between heaven and man." β
Song Xiaoha gasped: "Grandmaster realm?!"
"Grandmaster power is not the realm of grandmasters. β
"Is there a difference?"
"A strong person in the Grandmaster realm can always maintain the power of the Grandmaster. And this kind of guy who forcibly pushes up to the level of the unity of heaven and man by accumulation, when the accumulated power is used up, he will be beaten back to his original form. β
Song Xiaoha suddenly realized, looked at the inner pill, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder the black part on this inner pill is broken, probably because of the impurity of the strength." β
Pan Long also looked at the Inner Pill, and on the bright red Inner Pill, there were many large and small black fragments, which looked extremely hideous. But there was a golden streak swimming in it, like a small snake.
When he picked this Neidan with his own hands, he had his own understanding of this situation.
"In my opinion, these blacks are the original power of the snake demon - it is a poisonous snake, and at the beginning of its initiation, it should rely on instinct and take 'poison' as the core of its own strength. So its inner dan was originally supposed to be pure black. β
"Then why is it red now?" Wu Jixing asked curiously.
"It is keen to devour life, it should have devoured a large number of lives, and the power of qi and blood continued to accumulate in the inner pill, which in turn overwhelmed the original poison, and finally turned against the guest, making the inner pill become the main direction of qi and blood. β
As he spoke, Pan Long frowned thoughtfully: "No wonder it used a large amount of toxin without hesitation when it laid the trap before. I thought it was to take the opportunity to expel more poison and let Neidan be completely purified. β
"Is this any good?" Wu Jixing asked.
It was Sun Qiongyu who answered this question: "There is no difference between poison and qi and blood in terms of strength. But to cultivate qi and blood, as long as you eat hard and exercise hard. Cultivating toxins requires constant ingestion of toxins, and it is also necessary to continuously enhance one's own toxicity...... This is too dangerous! As far as I know, among the demon gods in the world, there is not even one who takes the direction of the toxin, and this road seems to be fine, but in fact it can be regarded as a dead end. β
Pan Long's eyebrows moved slightly, and only then did he understand the reason.
The teacher didn't tell him about this matter - the cultivation methods of the monsters, as well as the pros and cons of various channels, didn't mean anything to him in the first place.
"Then does this inner pill still need to continue to be purified?" Wu Jixing asked, "There are still so many toxins in it, there is no way to use it for alchemy, right?"
Pan Long nodded, he had already analyzed this Neidan in detail with his true qi. If you want to use it to make medicines, you will probably need to discard nearly two percent - those are all toxins.
These toxins are not useless, and may be used in other ways.
"The golden lines on it, could it be the Dharma that suppressed the snake demon in the first place?" Song Xiaoha asked.
"Of course, what else could it be besides this?" Wu Jixing asked rhetorically.
Sun Qiongyu looked at the flowing golden lines and said thoughtfully: "This monster is quite spiritual, and it should be an enthusiastic and studious person. If this monster is suppressed and edified by Buddhism, maybe hundreds of years later, it will really be able to change its mind and become a good person. β
"Hundreds of years is too long, so let it be a good person in the next life. Pan Long said lightly, "If it comes to Kyushu, it will ask for help in public, but I don't mind giving it a chance to mend its ways." But since it was suppressed on the way to evil, it is not qualified to talk about reforming itself - only those who take the initiative to reform themselves deserve the opportunity. β
Everyone nodded.
Pan Long's statement is very unsaintly, but it is very in line with the thinking of people in the rivers and lakes.
There is also the practice of "washing hands of grievances in a golden basin" on the rivers and lakes, although the cost is very high, but everyone recognizes it.
"By the way, you said that it set a trap and used a lot of toxins before, what happened to those toxins in the end?" Wu Jixing suddenly thought and asked.
Pan Long was about to answer when a voice came from the door.
"Those toxins have been bound to that sea area by several real people. Everyone wanted to pull it out, but there was a message from a big demon in the sea, asking us to leave this poisonous sea behind, so that the krakens who cultivated the poisonous power could come here to cultivate in the future. β
With the voice, Ma Yi, who had a black face and black beard, walked in, and with a wave of his hand, a box about a foot square fell on the table, but there was no sound.
"The flesh and blood of the snake demon is still being processed, and it just so happens that there is a batch of blood essence pills in the warehouse, so use these to offset the part of the flesh and blood you should get. β
Pan Long smiled: "Ma Zhenshou is really a believer. β
"A man cannot stand without faith. Ma Yi turned to leave, only the voice echoed in the air, "You guys take your things and leave quickly, you people can make enough trouble in the South China Sea during this time." I hope that in the next few years, I can have a stable life. β
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and then Pan Long opened the box, only to see that the box was lined with rows and layers of red pills separated by small wooden lattices. The pills were sealed with wax on the outside, but even then, a pungent pungent smell loomed out. Smelling this smell, Pan Long was fine, but the rest of the people were slightly red, and they felt that the qi and blood in their bodies were vibrating slightly.
The two women were much more reserved, but Song Xiaoha and Ding Laohum were not "reserved", Song Xiaoha looked at the pills, swallowed and foamed, and couldn't help but say: "Auntie (he even changed his name), can I taste this medicine? β
Pan Long was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to say such a reason.
Before he could answer, Ding Lao Hum also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! When I walked the rivers and lakes, my favorite dishes were Yizhou and Yunzhou, especially the hot and sour soup with bright red peppers, and I could eat ten bowls of hot and sour soup!"
Wu Jixing couldn't help but say: "Lao Ding likes to eat spicy food, I know it." Xiao Song, don't you have to frown when you eat Sichuan-style hot pot? Now you actually say that you like spicy food?"
Pan Long smiled slightly, and with a flick of his fingers, the wax coat on a pill fell off, and suddenly a pungent and spicy smell spread, making people almost cry.
"I'll give you another chance and think about it. β
Looking at the bright red pill, Song Xiaoha swallowed and foamed, a little entangled.
Of course, he knew that this pill must be good for him, but the taste was so spicy, if he swallowed it in his stomach, wouldn't it be like swallowing a fire?
"You'd better forget it. Ding Lao hummed disdainfully and said, "Last time we ate the spicy hot pot of 'Sichuan Flavor Building', you ate a little bit, and you ended up having a stomach for three days." If you want to eat this, will you be able to increase your qi and blood? I'm not sure. But I'm sure you're going to pull it so much that your intestines fall out. β
Song Xiaoha's face became more and more pale.
"Auntie, let's give me Lao Ding a taste of this medicine. I really like to eat spicy, and the spiciest thing I've ever eaten in my life is Yunzhou's pepper, and the taste is really unforgettable. I don't know how this is......"
Pan Long looked at Ding Lao Hum with some shock - this person can actually eat peppers?!
There is a large tree in Yunzhou that bears strange fruits that are as small as a miniature version of a chili pepper, and grow vertically on the trunk. The fruit is called the pepper and has an extremely spicy taste.
When he was in Yunzhou, he was cheated by the teacher once and ate pepper once. For a few days, I didn't feel anything in my mouth - I later learned that the locals used this to soak in water and then dilute it as a topical medicine to sterilize and remove insects on the skin.
Sadly, the teacher was eating with a chirp and said with a smile, "Is it spicy?" So-so. You, you just lack tempering!"
Pan Long was so angry that his nose was crooked - he had learned a cold knowledge in his previous life, birds don't have the taste of "spicy", so no matter how spicy things are, they don't care at all.
You are a crow who can't feel the taste of "spicy" at all, and you are embarrassed to brag that "I'm not afraid of spicy"!
In the end, Song Xiaoha still chose to follow his heart and did not taste the taste of this pill. Wu Jixing and Sun Qiongyu naturally thanked Bumin. This Blood Essence Pill, which smelled very suspicious, still entered Ding Lao's stomach.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Ding Lao's face immediately turned red, the red color spread all the time, and in the end, even his hands were red, and the whole person was as if he had just been soaked in hot water for half an hour and had just been fished out.
Then it rained down with sweat, and in the blink of an eye, his face was all over his face, and soon his clothes were wet, and then the sweat kept dripping down his hair and chin. On the table, on the chair, on the floor...... Wet a large piece.
It took about a quarter of an hour for him to let out a long breath full of spiciness. He sighed deeply: "It's really powerful! This thing should only exist in heaven!"
"How is it?" Song Xiaoha asked impatiently.
"When you first put it in your mouth, it's really spicy. It almost makes people feel that 'the mouth no longer belongs to the body'. But after swallowing it instinctively, a warm air rises in the stomach and flows all over the body. A lot of dark wounds accumulated in the past have surfaced in this heater, and they are slowly beginning to repair. Ding Lao hummed and said, "Don't look at me sweating so much, but in fact I am not tired and thirsty, but I feel refreshed - I feel very good now, even as if I am a few years younger." β
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot next to him, poured it into his mouth, and drank the big teapot that could hold five catties of tea in just one sip.
After drinking this pot of tea, his face became more and more shiny, and he seemed to have fewer wrinkles.
"Can this medicine still prolong life?" Wu Jixing asked curiously.
Ding Lao hummed closed his eyes, carefully felt the condition of his body, shook his head and said: "It's not to prolong life, it's just to repair the dark injuries and make the physical condition betterβit may also be that I am already old and have too many dark injuries on my body, so the medicinal power is exhausted." Maybe if Xiao Song is allowed to eat, the vigorous power of qi and blood will help him cultivate. β
Song Xiaoha looked at the sweat on the ground, his face was like earth, and he shook his head again and again.
He's really afraid of spicy.
If he didn't know how powerful this medicine was, he might have gritted his teeth and swallowed it. But at this moment, with Ding Lao Hum as a reference, where would he dare to fight the idea of this Blood Essence Pill!
Anyway, he's not very old, wouldn't it be more secure to cultivate slowly by himself!
Pan Long looked at Wu Jixing again.
Wu Jixing's face turned pale and he shook his head again and again.
"I don't need to enhance my qi and blood, my qi and blood are strong enough. She said loudly, then realized that this was a bit embarrassing, and lowered her voice again, "I'll just cultivate slowly, really!
ββββββ (well, it must have refreshed after fifteen minutes!)
Ding Lao hummed closed his eyes, carefully felt the condition of his body, shook his head and said: "It's not to prolong life, it's just to repair the dark injuries and make the physical condition betterβit may also be that I am already old and have too many dark injuries on my body, so the medicinal power is exhausted."
