Chapter 31: A Plate of Venison
Mu Qing returned to his bedroom, and had already made a plan: anyway, the work of collecting fairy dew should be done every morning, and the work of purification could be done at any time, although he had the alchemy experience of the white-haired old man, but he had not practiced it, and he still had to try it out before he could make a reasonable plan for the future.
So he didn't hesitate any longer, took out the small tripod, put it on the table, and opened the wooden box containing the thyme, and saw that there were as many as 200 herbs in this box, and each plant was not long, about three or four years. It must be that this purification is not 100% successful, and the person who prepared the materials will make a surplus, if the success rate is high, then the remaining materials can be kept by themselves, and they can refine some pills by themselves in the future.
He sat down steadily, supported Xiao Ding with one hand, and slowly urged the spiritual power, and the Xiao Ding suddenly gave birth to a trace of firepower, and after several attempts, he had mastered the trick of controlling the size of the fire.
He picked up a herb with his other hand and put it in the small ding, and at the same time urged his divine consciousness according to the eight tips of controlling the spirit in the alchemy method taught by the old man in white, and used this small ding as a medium, and the divine consciousness penetrated into the ding to wrap this spiritual grass......
In the alchemy method taught by the old man in white, the eight tricks of controlling the gods are a subtle method for controlling the divine consciousness, and they are also the basis of alchemy, which are divided into: separation, integration, action, turning, condensation, pressure, elasticity, contraction, and eight tricks. In alchemy, the more subtle and subtle the divine consciousness is manipulated, the higher the success rate, so the eight tricks of controlling the divine mind are particularly important.
I saw that the thyme was suspended in the center of Xiaoding under Mu Qing's divine sense and firepower, slowly turning, and more than a dozen leaves gradually withered and contracted, but the medicinal power contained in it contracted to the leaf veins, slowly condensing into green silk threads.
Not long after, a few withered leaves were burned into ashes by the fire, only green leaf veins remained, Mu Qing's heart was happy, his consciousness relaxed, the fire suddenly got out of control, and the whole herb "poof" turned into a ball of grass ash.
Mu Qing shook his head and laughed at himself: "Happiness is sad." As he spoke, he took out another herb and put it into Xiaoding, and acted according to the law......
This time, Mu Qing was careful throughout the whole process, and sure enough, she succeeded.
The purified herb leaves are completely gone, only the green veins remain, and the delicate and clear ones are beautiful.
Mu Qing calculated the time, this successful one only took about half a cup of tea, according to this time, he could purify a hundred plants in a day.
In other words, in just three days, this task of refining the three spirit grasses could be completed. Thinking of this, Mu Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and began the first day's purification task with all her heart.
Most of the day has passed, and more than 30 purified herbs have been placed around Mu Qing, and there have been only three failures in the process, but at this time, Mu Qing felt a sense of fatigue welling up. Xindao: It seems that although this purifying spirit grass seems simple, it also consumes a lot of divine consciousness and spiritual power, and purifying a hundred plants a day is still a bit too much for my current self, at most it is seventy or eighty plants.
Mu Qing stood up, walked out of the door and breathed a sigh, feeling the rich heaven and earth aura of Yun Jue Peak that was not inferior to Lingmu Valley, a sense of comfort penetrated through the pores of his body, and as soon as his heart was interested, he walked to an ancient tree in the courtyard in a few steps, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy enters the body, and under the guidance of the five spiritual roots, it travels through the whole body, transforming into spiritual power, supplementing the previous consumption, and at the same time, a part of the spiritual power is also gathered in the twelfth innate aperture......
An hour later, Mu Qing slowly opened her eyes, and the previous fatigue had been swept away, replaced by a relaxed and energetic body.
Seeing that the sun had passed midday, Du Jiu hadn't come back yet, so he didn't care about him, turned around and went into the house, and continued to purify the thyme.
......
Just after Mu Qing finished refining the seventy-ninth herb, Du Jiu's voice came from the courtyard, saying, "Brother Yang, it's time to go to dinner, let's go together, I also made an appointment with Senior Sister Chuncao." ”
Mu Qing stopped purifying, and said while cleaning up: "Xiao Jiu, what have you been doing all day?"
Du Jiu said: "I've always been with Senior Sister Chuncao, she is a good person, and she told me a lot of interesting things about this peak." ”
Mu Qing smiled secretly, and said in her heart: This kid is a big ghost, maybe he is still cowardly, he just entered the sect and knew about the relationship, and he was tired of that senior sister Chuncao all day.
Thinking about it, Mu Qing had already left the house and walked towards the "Spirit Dining Room" with Du Jiu.
At this time, the sun had already set on the mountain, Mu Qing and the others walked into the door of the "Spirit Dining Room", only to see that this Spirit Dining Room was very large, with twenty Eight Immortal Tables, dozens of monks were already sitting at the tables, and a staircase on the right led to the second floor.
Mu Qing saw that there were no empty tables here, so he was about to go to the second floor, but he was stopped by Du Jiu and said, "Brother Yang, Senior Sister Chuncao said, the outer disciples are all dining on the first floor, and the second floor is for those inner disciples, although they don't come often, but the outer disciples can't go up." ”
Mu Qing frowned, and was about to speak, when she saw Chuncao sitting at the table and waving to the two, so she didn't say anything more and walked over with Du Jiu.
On this table, in addition to Chuncao, there was also a thin old man in his fifties, who was also dressed as an outer disciple, and when he saw the two of them coming, he also smiled slightly.
Du Jiu happily sat beside Chuncao, pulled Chuncao's sleeve and said, "Senior Sister Chuncao, I'm starving to death, what's delicious and delicious here?"
Chuncao waited for Mu Qing to sit down, did not answer Du Jiu, glanced at the thin old man, and said, "Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Du, this is Senior Brother Ma You, he is the oldest among our Enlightened Disciples." ”
Mu Qing hurriedly saluted this senior brother Ma, and this horse friend also returned the salute politely, and greeted the three people present.
During the greetings, Mu Qing learned that this senior brother Ma You is nearly seventy years old, but his cultivation qualifications are very ordinary, and he is only a late-stage cultivator, but this person is very cheerful, and he does not shy away from his outrageous qualifications, only to listen to him: "My qualifications are not only miscellaneous spiritual roots, but also narrow meridians, and there are many occlusions, so it is already God's help to be able to cultivate to the late stage of enlightenment." ”
The four of them were chatting, and the more low-level outside disciples in charge of cooking had already pushed out five dining carts from the back kitchen, on which were placed large and small plates.
A man in his thirties walked outside and shouted: "Senior brothers and sisters, today I waited for a short-horned snowflake spirit deer, so today we have a good mouth, eat venison!"
These outer disciples were immediately fascinated, and while praising these outer disciples for walking, they grabbed their chopsticks......
Mu Qing looked at the plate, there were three kinds of vegetarian dishes in these three small plates, which was not unusual, in the big bowl were more than a dozen large steamed buns, steaming hot, and in that large plate was a plate full of venison, fragrant.
Du Jiu seemed to be really hungry, grabbed a steamed bun with his left hand, and picked up a piece of venison with his right hand and put it in his mouth......
Mu Qing was also aroused by the aroma of this venison, it seems that the skill of walking outside in charge of cooking is really good, and he was about to pick up a piece to taste, when suddenly the door was pushed open with a "bang".
Everyone who was eating looked towards the gate, only to see two monks walking in one after the other, both in the clothes of inner disciples, the one in front was burly, fat head and big ears, fair but with a flat nose and a stupid face, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and a middle-aged man in the back, who looked upright, but with a proud face, and a hint of flattery, followed closely behind the fat young man.
The lively hall suddenly fell silent, and I saw this fat-headed and big-eared young man walk to the middle of the hall in a few steps, look around at everyone, and say, "Heh! I have venison to eat today, and the food of you outer disciples is better than ours!"
The person who was pushing the dining cart was walking outside and hurriedly took out a large paper bag from under the dining cart, trotted to the young man, bent his waist, put on a smile, and said: "Mi Gongzi, look at what you said, this deer leg has been packed for you, and it is about to be sent to you, so you are here." ”
The middle-aged man behind the young man took the big paper bag, checked it, and pouted: "Just a deer leg, who is enough to eat?
Mu Qing saw that these two people were not good, but she couldn't figure out the situation for a while, she turned her face to look at Ma You and Chuncao, and saw that these two people also looked solemn, with a gloomy face, but they closed their lips tightly, and they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
I only heard the fat young man say: "Pack all the venison on this table for me, I will bring it to my senior brothers, and also, you people who are in charge of food have memorized it for me, and in the future, when you hit these mountain game, you will send it to me first!"
The outer door walked and swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, let's pack it for Mi Gongzi." So saying, he ordered the people to take back the venison that had been placed on the table.
The fat young man's face trembled, and he seemed to be very satisfied, but he said: "Junior brothers and sisters of the outer gate, today is sixteen, and after half a month, the offering should also be handed over." ”
The hall was quiet for a moment, and several outer disciples got up one after another, took out large and small wooden boxes from their arms, and put them on the table in front of the fat young man.
Mu Qing threw a questioning look at Chuncao, and Chuncao lowered his voice and said: "This person's name is Mi Gang, although he is only a cultivator in the late stage of spiritual enlightenment, but he is the nephew of Elder Mi's own family, and he has always been very domineering, oppressing us outer disciples, and asking each of us to hand over more refined spiritual herbs and elixirs every month for his own alchemy." ”
Mu Qing said in his heart, it seems that most of these outer disciples who are responsible for refining herbs are also the same as they think, except for the need to hand over the task of the sect, the rest will be left privately, it seems that the sect also acquiesces in this matter. Now this Mi Gang has found a flaw in this door rule, so as to squeeze these outer disciples. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a feeling of disgust in my heart, and wondered: "Then are our hundreds of door rules decorations? Why doesn't anyone care about him?"
Chuncao said: "Senior Brother Yang, the door rules are naturally not decorations, but they are more in charge of most ordinary disciples, and the son and nephew of the peak master like Mi Gang, with the support of the peak master, who dares to take care of him, don't say it, even if it is a small report, we don't dare to fight, I also secretly told Sister Xia He, but she said that Elder Mi is concentrating on alchemy, and he has no distractions and no time to care about these small things." ”
The two of them whispered like this, and the more than fifty outer disciples present had already handed over their own "offerings", and Senior Brother Ma You also sighed lightly, took out a small box and walked towards Mi Gang. A disciple was also taking away the plate of venison on their table, while Du Jiu quickly poked out his chopsticks and took another piece of meat into his mouth.
Mu Qing watched the venison that he hadn't eaten yet being taken away like this, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and he snorted and said, "Put it down!"
