Chapter 107: Happiness
After the study of prohibitions and runes came to an end, Zhang Zhiping set his sights on alchemy and refining tools again.
The pill is definitely an existence that is difficult for immortal cultivators to leave, and in many places it is difficult to break through without the help of the pill, such as Zhuji Dan, I don't know how many Qi cultivation period cultivators have been stuck. And in daily cultivation, it also needs the assistance of pills, such as Qi Nourishing Pill and Qi Gathering Pill, which are all pills often taken by immortal cultivators, otherwise, just relying on the cultivator's own cultivation, for most people, it is really a cultivation to death, don't think about how much progress there is.
And the effect of the pill is not only that, what is to restore mana, conceive the soul, nourish the body, heal the wounds, etc., can not be separated from the existence of the pill, and even a stage of immortal cultivators, the Jindan period, is rumored to draw on the existence of alchemy. Therefore, alchemy is a necessary skill for immortal cultivators, but the depth of mastery is different.
However, alchemy requires spiritual objects, most of which are elixirs, and some can also be refined with demon beast inner pills, spirit mines, etc. With the development of the immortal cultivation world for so many years, there are fewer and fewer wild elixirs, and they all grow in some dangerous places similar to the 100,000 mountains, so the immortal cultivators have artificially cultivated the elixir, and dozens of commonly used elixirs have been popularized, with a complete and detailed refining process, most alchemists, as long as they can refine these commonly used elixirs step by step, it is enough.
Immortal cultivators use pills, what level of pills to use, which pills need to be used, etc., all have a detailed and clear division, which belongs to the basic configuration of an immortal cultivator, and can be purchased in the immortal city, only some strange pills, only the immortal cultivators need to collect the elixir for refining. So for Zhang Zhiping, it was not so difficult to become a basic alchemist.
Similar to alchemy, there are also refining tools, basic refining, as long as you have the patience to study carefully for a period of time, you can easily master it. However, the spiritual materials used by the refiner are more extensive, and the alchemy also needs to consider the reaction of the human body, and the refiner does not have so many worries, and even in the refiner's heart, there is nothing that cannot be used for refining, and any combination of materials may give birth to new materials, and special magic weapons must be refined with specific materials, and the ratio of these materials is something unique to each refiner.
After the immortal cultivator reaches the foundation building period, he can gather his essence and spirit together to form a true fire unique to each monk, and the power of the true fire is closely related to the basic strength of the monk, and it is also the most suitable flame for alchemy and refining. True fire has one of the properties, that is, it can melt everything without damaging its original properties, such as materials such as spirit wood and animal bones, which should be destroyed directly under the burning of ordinary flames, how can anything else be refined?
True fire can melt and reshape them, retaining their properties. This undoubtedly made Zhang Zhiping feel very magical, in addition to metallic materials, it was the first time he saw that the burned things could be restored, which was really against his worldview. However, in this world of immortal cultivators, anything can happen, after Zhang Zhiping inquired a lot of information, he found that this matter involved the mysteries of Jindan, which was not something he could touch now, so he could only put this matter down and wait until his cultivation improved in the future to study.
Immortal cultivators are all extremely intelligent people, and it is not only a few who are difficult to form a system, these things related to the foundation of the immortal cultivation world have been perfected and popularized. For most monks, they usually focus on learning alchemy refining tools during the foundation building period, and Zhang Zhiping is just one step ahead now.
Now in addition to practicing blood alchemy, Zhang Zhiping only needs to maintain daily meditation and cultivation on weekdays, and the rest of the time is studying these miscellaneous studies, and he doesn't dare to say that he is proficient in anything, but he has basic research. In fact, for immortal cultivators, as long as they are willing to spend time learning these things, they can do what Zhang Zhiping does, but other cultivators do not have the assistance of the Five Visceral Gods in cultivation, and they can have a lot of free time to study seriously. For them, the daily meditation at the end of the day can only ensure that their cultivation does not regress, and they need the help of spirit stones and pills to make continuous progress, most of the time, they wish they could cultivate all the time, and it is already a very time-consuming thing to be able to involve one or two miscellaneous studies, which is like Zhang Zhiping, who has studied everything he can learn.
Another year has passed, and Zhang Zhiping is at home, silently accompanying his mother through the last part of the road. Han Yun is now close to running out of oil.
"I feel like I've been very happy in my life. Han Yun lay on the bed and slowly talked about her experience to the person next to her.
"I was born in a scholarly family, and my parents were my only daughter, who loved me very much since I was a child, so that I could have no worries about food and clothing, and I could sing poems and lyrics, and live a carefree life. ”
"Just arrived in the year of the flowering season, I met your father, he is handsome and handsome, and energetic, is a well-known talent in the county, we are like a talented and beautiful woman, very smoothly together, but have not experienced so many tribulations, your father has always been wholeheartedly only good to me. ”
"Later, I had children, who were smart, well-behaved, filial, and had their own goals, and they made a career of their own, and they often came back to see me. ”
"When I was old, my granddaughter was eccentric and very pleasing to people, and she never let me experience the loneliness of an old man. ”
"Now, my family is close and friendly, listening to stories in front of me, a dying person, and quietly accompanying me through the last period. ”
Han Yun had a smile in her eyes at this time, her face was full of happiness, and she said softly: "You say, is this God too good to me, my life is like a sweet dream." ”
All the people of the Zhang family gathered around Han Yun's bedside, including the eldest brother and sister-in-law and their three children, the second brother and sister-in-law and their two children, Zhang Zhiping, and Zhang Zhizhong, as well as the loyal old servants who have served the Zhang family for many years.
Everyone held back the sadness in their hearts and was silent for a long time, Zhang Zhizhong grabbed Han Yun's hand, showed a smile, and said: "Yes, you are so happy in this life, even God can't stand it, so I took you away early, poor my old man is not as good as you, I suffered a lot when I was a child, so God let me live for a few more years, and I have to suffer again in the end." ”
Han Yun smiled lightly and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm going to walk in front of you, and I'm going to make you sad again." ”
It was very calm, without any pain, without any struggle, and after saying this, Han Yun naturally closed her eyes, as if she was asleep. Zhang Zhizhong didn't cry, and stopped everyone from coming forward, so he calmly covered Han Yun with a layer of white cloth, and arranged Han Yun's funeral in an orderly manner.
She walked so peacefully. Zhang Zhiping watched quietly beside him, Han Yun's soul floated out after her death, illusory and transparent, rare for mortals to see, she seemed to see Zhang Zhiping's gaze, smiled kindly at him, and then suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth, he knew that Han Yun was taken away by the power of reincarnation.
"Little uncle, will grandma never wake up again?" Wei Niang sat in Zhang Zhiping's arms, leaned on Zhang Zhiping's ear and asked softly.
"Yes, she wants to sleep more, and when she wakes up again, she will find that she is back to the beginning, and then start a new life, just hopefully, she can be as happy as this life. Zhang Zhiping said these words calmly, and in his heart at this time, it was not sad, nor that kind of fun, but a kind of calm, unprecedented calm.
Wei Niang nodded as if she didn't understand, and looked at the people around her, his parents, grandfather, and siblings, and then said, "Then will they all sleep in the end?"
"Yes, no one escapes the final end. Zhang Zhiping gently stroked Wei Niang's hair, and muttered: "No one can stay away from that world." ”
Wei Niang thought for a while, and then said: "But Wei Niang doesn't want to sleep all the time, and she can't do a lot of interesting things when she falls asleep." ”
Zhang Zhiping held Wei Niang up in front of his eyes, looked at each other, and said slowly: "Then you have to work hard, otherwise you will sleep peacefully in the end." ”
