Chapter 237: Spiced Bamboo Shoots
Tian Xu stretched out his hand, let a jade bee fall on his hand, and stung himself. He felt the nature of the bee venom, only to see that the toxicity seemed to have diminished.
He used his aura, forced the jade bee's needle out of his fingers completely, let it go, and said to the swarm: "Why do you think that the toxicity has become weaker? If this continues, will it be no longer toxic in a few hundred years? If you need to divide into groups and go outside, how can you survive?"
"This is the result of my deliberate selection," the swarm said. We live here, there are basically no natural enemies, toxicity is useless, if the toxicity is retained, it is not good to accidentally injure the owner or the owner's friend by mistake. ”
"No," Tian Xu said, "the toxicity is quite useful, and it needs to be stronger." It is best to remove the barbs from the bee needle, so that the jade bee can attack the enemy multiple times, rather than killing the enemy with one blow. I may need you to help me fight the enemy in the future. It is also possible that at the right time, you will be divided into groups, and you must be ready at all times. ”
Bidding farewell to the bee colony, Tian Xu went to see the giant turkey, night pug and dragon sparrow that hatched last time, all of which were growing very well. The dragon bird had already eaten almost the prey that Tian Xu got back last time, and this time when he saw the newly caught demonic beast by Tian Xu, he happily flew around Tian Xu for a long time.
It's just that the big egg that Tian Xu has been incubating since last time still has no reaction, as if it has not provided an environment for incubation at all for more than a year. Tian Xu was not in a hurry, and after checking that there was no problem with the incubation formation, he let it continue to hatch slowly here.
Tian Xu walked around the Medicine King Bucket, tasted some of the spirit fruits produced here, and finally returned to the place of Yin Yang Ding Alchemy with a large number of newly collected and made spirit bamboo pills.
After arriving there, Tian Xu was taken aback, this guy of Yin Yang Ding was like a elixir production machine, he had already refined all the pills that Tian Xu wanted him to refine, and piled up a large piece on the ground next to him. Especially the Great Qi Replenishing Pill, which can almost fill a bucket.
Seeing that Yin Yang Ding was still refining the Great Qi Replenishing Pill one furnace after another, Tian Xu hurriedly stopped: "Why have you refined so much? ”
Yin Yang Ding hadn't spoken yet, but Medicine King Dou's voice sounded first: "The process of alchemy is the process of Xiao Ding's recovery, and he likes alchemy." I've given him a limited number of generic elixirs, so let him practice and play. The demonic beasts you got back for me this time are enough for me to make up for the loss of vitality over the years, and refining more pills will not affect me. ”
Hearing what Medicine King Dou said, Tian Xu didn't want to say anything more, so he simply left the medicine cartridge in his hand to Yin Yang Ding, and let him refine any pill and cultivate by himself.
This time, he practiced the technique of chasing the sun.
Last time, he had already refined the thirteen postures of the second layer of the Sun Chasing Technique into twelve, and after recondensing the pill this time, he began to impact the last posture. As long as this posture is completed, the second layer of his sun-chasing technique will be able to achieve perfection.
The difficulty of this thirteenth posture is much greater than that of the first twelve, Tian Xu practiced one posture after another, and found that this time it was much easier than the last time he practiced. It took more than ten days to finally complete the combination of posture and breathing, and the seventh-order golden pill that he had just condensed was also disintegrated with this cultivation, turning into a mass of aura, and was fused into Tian Xu's body little by little by the Sun Chasing Technique.
With Dan Ling here this time, the process of Jin Dan's disintegration was much easier than before, and he didn't need to control the speed of disintegration at all, and he didn't have to worry about Jin Dan exploding at once. Moreover, as the aura contained his own and Dan Ling's will in Jin Dan was fused into his body, he found that his body also had a tendency to produce independent consciousness. In addition, as this fusion progressed, the cooperation between him and Dan Ling became more tacit.
Cultivating this thirteenth posture, the aura consumed is not comparable to the previous twelve body potentials, Tian Xu absorbed and replenished the aura lost in his body many times in the process of cultivation, and only then did he complete the cultivation of this posture. According to his own estimates, the aura that was compressed and fused into his body by the Sun Chasing Jue this time should have been close to the seventh-order elixir before the disintegration in his body.
What is going to be done later is meditation, there is no need for aura, without waiting for Tian Xu to say anything, Dan Ling has realized this, and took the initiative to ask Tian Xu: "Is it possible to re-condense the Jin Dan now?" Without Jin Dan, I have a feeling of having nowhere to go, and I feel uncomfortable. "Jin Dan is the body of Dan Ling, without the soul of the body, of course, it lacks a down-to-earth sense of security.
Tian Xu was a little worried, and said: "If I re-condense the Dan, my state of mind perception is not enough. Besides, in the process of meditation later, maybe I will disintegrate the golden pill again, so let's wait until I finish the meditation. If you are not feeling well, you can try to go into my sea of knowledge, there is a space there. ”
"It's not an advanced Ning Dan, it's just a re-condensation of the aura scattered in the body," Dan Ling obviously understood what Tian Xu meant, and hurriedly corrected, "Now that I have my little spirit, of course your Jin Dan can be dispersed as much as you want, condensed as you want, and become whatever shape you want, which is different from advanced." ”
It was a real surprise.
Sure enough, with the cooperation of Dan Ling, the aura in Tian Xu's body, which was in a loose state, was quickly compressed and condensed to the location of the Jin Dan, and it was re-condensed into a flying saucer-shaped Jin Dan.
After that, Tian Xu spent more than ten days of continuous meditation, and finally practiced the last posture of the second layer of the Sun Chasing Technique, integrating the entire second layer.
There is nothing too special about the performance of the Sun Chasing Technique, and after practicing the second layer, the only achievement is that the strength has expanded to a level of more than fifty tons. His strength was not outstanding, but his ability in aura cultivation was very strong, which indirectly affected the achievement of the cultivation of the Sun Chasing Technique. Now, with the strength of his body, he can lift up a light tank and throw it dozens of meters away, or he can grab a stretch car with one hand and use it as a weapon to beat people.
It's a feeling of great power.
He jumped up and circled in the air a few times, only to find that Ziyan had already completed the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Sun Chasing Technique, and was dragging a large cloud of aura to cook on the hillside where they usually used it as a kitchen.
Tian Xu was not very confident in Ziyan's cooking skills, and when she looked closely, she was making vegetable and meat porridge. This food is as simple as boiling rice, minced meat and salt in a pot, and then adding chopped vegetables.
Tian Xu noticed that Ziyan used the meat of King Kong wild boar, and the vegetables were the most common Chinese cabbage. These two are all-purpose foods, and the resulting food will not be too unpalatable in any way.
For Ziyan, the biggest difficulty in making this vegetable porridge is the control of water quantity, and she doesn't know how much water to add to the right one. However, this matter is not difficult to help the purple smoke that has been condensed. She first added as much water as she could, and when the rice and minced meat were cooked, the excess water in the porridge was extracted to make a delicious porridge with a moderate intensity.
Ziyan was boiling porridge there wholeheartedly, not noticing that Tian Xu had woken up from his cultivation. When she put a bowl of porridge and was about to start eating, the porridge suddenly flew up from in front of her and fell into the hands of Tian Xu, who was standing in mid-air.
When Ziyan looked up, Tian Xu's hateful guy was swallowing the first mouthful of porridge, and praised in his mouth: "Good wife, I know that your husband will be hungry after cultivating, so I will wait for me after boiling the porridge." ...... Well, it tastes good. As he spoke, another mouthful of porridge jumped up from the bowl and landed in his mouth.
Ziyan stomped his feet and said, "After you get here, you only care about cultivation, and you don't care about other people's hunger at all." The porridge I just boiled, you snatch it up and eat it. The hot porridge that has just come out of the pot is not afraid of being hot. Later, he couldn't hide his concern.
In fact, after arriving at Ning Dan, the calories of the food that has just come out of the pot are no longer a big deal, and Ziyan can also eat the hot porridge that has just come out of the pot as quickly as Tian Xu, but he can't make the porridge jump into his mouth as flexibly as he does, and he won't get it everywhere.
The two ate up a pot of meat porridge between the fighting, and Ziyan grinded Tian Xu to make spiced bamboo shoots for her.
Spiced bamboo shoots are made from a bamboo shoot that is only the thickness of a thumb, which is a special kind of bamboo that grows in the mountains at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and the bamboo shoots are slender and have a very small yield. Tian Xu has never seen him in the outside world. This kind of bamboo grows a lot in Yaowang Dou, but after the bamboo shoots break through the soil, they will grow old in an hour or two, and there is no way to store them for a long time after they are picked, so they can only be eaten and picked fresh.
Tian Xu flew to the bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside with Ziyan, relying on olfactory imaging, and picked more than 20 in half an hour. Tian Xu knew that he didn't have to eat, so he cooked some spiced peanuts in the pot and peeled the peanuts next to him to eat.
After a while, Ziyan gave a bamboo shoot to Tian Xu and said, "This is your share, don't say that I swallow it alone." ”
Tian Xu hurriedly grabbed the bamboo shoots that had been given to him in his hands, lest Ziyan regret grabbing them.
These young bamboo shoots have an incomparable umami taste that is not available in any other food in the world. The peanuts that Tian Xu ate were also boiled in the pot of fresh bamboo shoots, and they were contaminated with the taste of some bamboo shoots, and they had already become a rare treasure, not to mention the bamboo shoots themselves.
This bamboo shoot can only be picked so many dozens every year, and it is only available before the winter in the medicine king bucket, that is, Tian Xu and the two of them, if they want to eat this delicacy, it also depends on the season when they enter the medicine king bucket. Now is just in time for the season when tender bamboo shoots can be picked, and although Tian Xu is busy, he doesn't want to miss it.
