Late at night, in the corner of the first floor of the library, a small dim oil lamp was placed on an old wooden table.

Su Chen reads at night with a lamp, and often stays up until dawn in the early hours of the morning.

The library is not closed at night, and the disciples in the gang can stay here until dawn. However, oil lamps are not supplied, so you must bring your own.

Su Chen didn't have any spare money to buy oil.

There is a large wild tung forest in the back mountain of Yaowang Villa, you can pick up the dried tung oil fruits that have fallen, pound vigorously in a clay pot, squeeze out the tung oil, and then fill it with a small bamboo tube, knead it into a wick with wild cotton wool, and make a small oil lamp.

Although the light is dim, it exudes a faint fragrance of tung oil, which is quite fragrant and pleasant, and has the effect of refreshing and refreshing.

Su Chen prepared his own tung oil bamboo lamp, buried himself in the desk, and found several important discoveries among the many Taoist books.

"Ordinary people should not be in the spiritual mountain. ”

"If you want to find the spiritual mountain, first seal the six senses. A wisp of divine thought went straight to the Purple Mansion. ”

The meaning of these two sentences is that it is impossible for ordinary people in the world to discover the mysterious spiritual mountain hidden in their bodies.

If you want to find Lingshan, you must find a unique way, close your six senses, and then condense a wisp of divine thought, and enter the depths of the sea of knowledge in the Mud Pill Palace, so as to find the location of Lingshan.

'Finally found a way!'

Su Chen was surprised and excited.

Closing one's own senses and six senses, condensing a wisp of divine thought to sneak into the Mud Pill Palace, this is the best way to find the spiritual mountain.

The next question is, how can we close the six senses?

There are many miscellaneous books in the library cabinet, and there may be books that enclose their own six senses.

Su Chen spent several more days digging through the piles of miscellaneous books.

He was really pleasantly surprised to find a few Taoist methods that are specially used to close the six senses, such as "Asking the Heart Sutra", "Fetal Breath Method", "Turtle Breath Formula" and so on.

It is written in these introductions that they all have the effect of closing the six senses and gaining meditation.

What satisfies Su Chen the most is the volume of "Turtle Breath".

The Turtle's Breath is a Taoist classic, which is usually used for self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and there are no restrictions on cultivation. There is no record of any martial arts moves in it, it cannot enhance the combat effectiveness of the martial artist, and it does not belong to the martial arts book, let alone the medicine book.

The book says that this method can be practiced, so that people can gradually close their six senses in a deep sleep and enter a deep sleep.

This made Su Chen very satisfied, because he could cultivate while sleeping, without taking up additional time for him.

And the "Heart Sutra" and "Fetal Breath Method" and so on, all have to spend a lot of time to cultivate.

He had to follow his master to learn martial arts and medicine throughout the day, and from evening to late at night, he would continue to look through books and materials in the library to find more clues about "Qingshi Tears".

The daily schedule is full, and there is no way to spare more time to specialize in cultivating a time-consuming exercise.

"Okay! Just cultivate this "Turtle Breath Technique", close the six senses, and maybe you can find the mysterious Spirit Mountain!"

Su Chen decided to give it a try.

The books in the library could not be taken away, and he memorized this "Turtle Breath Recipe" by heart. The whole book is only two pages, and the text is only about four or five hundred words in total, so it is not difficult to memorize.

Su Chen followed Li Kui's medicinal arts to practice martial arts and medicinal arts during the day, and went to the library in the evening to continue to look through various medicinal books, looking for any clues about Qingshi Tears.

It wasn't until late at night that he returned to the stone house to sleep, Zhang Tieniu, Yang Caizhi and others had already slept for an hour or two, and they were sleeping soundly.

"Although the turtle has a nose, it breathes on the skin. When you sleep, your breath comes out of your skin, and it's called turtle breath!"

"The body is like a turtle's back, and the breath is like a gossamer. The ears and eyes hang down, the eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the mouth, the mouth looks at the heart, and the tongue touches the palate. The pulse is comfortable, the concentration is settled, the dantian is heavy, and the mind is one. ”

After a long time, the heart descended at will, gradually sealed the six senses, and the body escaped into nothingness. ”

"The breath is slow and long, and the heartbeat is slow. ”

"Those who have cultivated this recipe to the highest level of attainment can breathe once a day, and one heartbeat every hour. ”

"The sun rises in the east, the earth revives, and consciousness awakens. ”

Su Chen bent down and lay on the kang, silently running the turtle breath method, and gradually fell asleep.

I practiced like this for about a month.

Su Chen found that his breathing really became slow and long, and his sleep became very sweet.

Even the kang head next to him, Zhang Tieniu's snoring, Yang Caizhi's grinding teeth, Qin Huihui's foot-picking sound, and Kong Xinqiao's broken words in his dream have completely disappeared.

Even in the thunderstorm season, he couldn't hear the spring thunder outside Yaowang Villa.

Every time Su Chen woke up, he felt that he was full of energy, and the fatigue of yesterday was swept away. Just two or three hours of sleep a day is enough to maintain a full body of energy.

If nothing else, it's pretty good just to help restore your energy.

However, apart from this benefit, there are no other abnormalities.

"This turtle breath technique, won't it just make people feel good after a full sleep, right? There is not the slightest sign of completely closing the six senses!"

This made Su Chen very distressed.

In fact, he didn't know that this "Turtle Breath Formula" was a very low-level Taoist self-cultivation classic, but it made people breathe longer, and it couldn't completely close the six senses.

You must know that the books on the first floor of the library are all very ordinary books, which are sold in street bookstores, and they can't even be called secret tips. Many martial artists and Taoist priests have cultivated, and there is nothing peculiar about it at all.

Su Chen thought hard for a long time, but he didn't know why.

He only thought that his cultivation time was too short, so he was far from reaching the highest realm of Dacheng mentioned in the book "Turtle Breath Jue", one breath a day, and one heartbeat for an hour.

His realm was too low to completely close the six senses, and naturally he couldn't condense a wisp of divine thought and sneak into the Mud Pill Palace.

"Judging from the current progress, if the "Turtle Breath Jue" wants to cultivate such an effect, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the Dacheng realm of one breath a day for decades. I don't have that much time to spend on this. ”

"I have to find another way to close the six senses!"

Su Chen spent more than ten days in the library pavilion, studying all kinds of medicine books, and even reading the home remedies of various Jianghu monks.

Late that night, he saw a case recorded in the medicine book: "Zhang, a hunter in Wu County, was bitten by a venomous snake with a golden ring, fell into a coma, and was almost out of breath. Fortunately, the pharmacist passed by to feed the antidote, and he woke up in a moment and was able to live. ”

When Su Chen saw this, his mind suddenly opened up, and his inspiration flashed.

"The venom of the krait, falling into a coma, almost out of breath?!"

"That's right, the venom of the krait can paralyze muscles and nerves. ”

"Just a drop of venom is enough to dramatically reduce the flow of blood and completely lose the body's sensory perception. In severe cases, it may even make it difficult to breathe, suffocate, and lose your life!"

"However, if the dose is drastically reduced, only a tenth, or even a lesser.... Toxicity is greatly reduced and it is not fatal. ”

Su Chen's spirits perked up.

As an apprentice pharmacist, I have learned a lot of pharmacological theories with Pharmacist Li Kui in the past few months. Of course, I understand the most superficial medicinal truth, that is, to talk about toxicity without dosage, that is to play hooligan.

Many highly toxic substances, when the dose is small enough to a certain extent, are not fatal, and even have some strange effects, which are used by pharmacists to treat diseases.

Therefore, highly toxic substances such as poisonous snake liquid, scorpion liquid, and sulfur are often extracted by pharmacists to treat rheumatism, epilepsy, etc., and other poisons are used to treat diseases.

Su Chen couldn't help but be whimsical.

If you use a small amount of krait venom, you may be able to greatly strengthen the closed six senses of the "Turtle Breath Technique", and completely seal your own six senses!

Of course, this method is highly dangerous, and the slightest carelessness can be fatal.

After thinking about it carefully, Su Chen decided to take the risk and give it a try to see if this method would work. As long as the amount of venom is controlled, even if it fails, there will be no fatal threat.

He has been an outer disciple for five months now, and he is almost out of time.

If he didn't succeed this time and was eliminated by the master and became a miscellaneous disciple, he would lose many of the benefits of his apprenticeship, and he would no longer be able to read this mountain-like medicinal book and Taoist book in the library as he is now.

In that case, if you want to cure your own bluestone tears, I'm afraid that your hope will become very slim.

This disease is not cured, and he can't even sleep.

...

The Medicine King Gang is mainly engaged in medicine, and medicinal materials naturally include many snakes.

The pharmacists of Medicine Mountain Villa will raise all kinds of poisonous snakes, and there are often pharmacists who will extract the venom of the golden ring viper for experiments, or refine various pills.

But if Su Chen wanted their venom, he would definitely have to pay to buy it, and the price was quite expensive.

Su Chen was penniless and couldn't afford it. The only way he wanted the venom was to go out into the wild and catch a golden-ringed viper to extract its venom.

He has now been a disciple of the Medicine King Gang for nearly five months, and he has also learned some poisonous snake medicinal materials, and he is already familiar with the temperament of various poisonous snakes, and he also knows how to catch snakes and extract liquid.

Su Chen was going to go to the mountains outside Gusu County to find a golden-ringed poisonous snake and extract the venom.

By the way, he also tried his luck in the mountains to see if he could pick wild ginseng, in case he suddenly fell into bluestone tears with sadness, he could also use it.

Su Chen took a three-day leave from Pharmacist Li Kui.

He didn't dare to say that he was going into the mountains.

The Medicine King Gang did not allow apprentices to go into the mountains to collect medicine without permission, because the apprentices' strength was still too weak, and they were not even at the level of third-rate martial artists.

The deep mountains and old forests are quite dangerous, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous snakes, and the adult jackal beasts are almost comparable to the strength of third-rate realm martial artists.

Besides, the mountains are difficult to climb, and it is easy to get lost, and it is very likely that you will not be able to get out of the mountains.

Only those who have reached the strength of a pharmacist, or a third-rate martial artist or above, and have a high strength in all aspects, are allowed to go into the deep mountains and old forests to collect medicine.

Su Chen had no choice but to hide from his master on this trip to the mountain, saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he wanted to go back.

Pharmacist Li Kui frowned a little, but considering that Su Chen was from Zhouzhuang Water Township and was a little far away from Gusu County, he still granted a three-day vacation, and just told him to come back as soon as possible, so as not to delay his martial arts cultivation and medicinal studies.

Su Chen secretly prepared a medicine basket and a bag in private, hurriedly left Yaowang Villa, and went to the area of the Qionglong Mountain Range dozens of miles away in the western suburbs of Gusu County to look for the Golden Ring Viper.
