Chapter Eighty-Eight: Tongmai Dan
After reciting the mantra of the sword technique in its entirety, Mantie looked at Bai Canghai expectantly, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that there is a problem with the mantra of the sword mastery?"
In his mind, Bai Canghai must know the mantra of swordsmanship, otherwise he would not be able to use the iron sword in the bluestone square.
Bai Canghai didn't rush to speak, but pretended to be thinking about the problem, but in fact, he was secretly memorizing the mantra of the imperial sword technique.
Mantie naturally didn't know in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything to disturb him, so he waited patiently with apprehension.
After a long while, Bai Canghai suddenly smiled, and then asked Mantie to cast the sword seal in front of him.
Brute Iron naturally responded, and then stretched out his hands, and quickly condensed a sword seal in front of Bai Canghai.
Bai Canghai watched intently, because he was close, he didn't open the scanning eye, but even so, he still instantly saw the deficiency that Brute Iron had appeared when he cast the Imperial Sword Seal.
At the critical juncture of the change of the law seal, the little finger of Mantie's right hand suddenly twitched slightly, as if a nerve spasm.
It's just that this anomaly passed quickly, but Brute Iron was unaware of it, and continued to cast it, and successfully condensed the sword seal.
Looking at the magic seal in his hand, Bai Canghai shook his head slightly, this sword magic seal seemed to have no problems, but in fact it was very unstable, once the brute iron instilled the mana in his body, the condensed magic seal would soon collapse.
This is the same as the principle of 'the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill', this magic seal is not perfect, there is a faint flaw in it, so that it can not withstand the infusion of mana, causing it to collapse repeatedly at critical moments, making the brute iron mistakenly think that his qualifications are not good.
In order to further verify his judgment, Bai Canghai then asked Mantie to slow down the speed of condensing the magic seal, and observed it several times over and over again.
Bai Canghai originally thought that after Brute Iron slowed down the speed of the condensation seal, he would be able to discover this shortcoming and correct it himself.
But who would have thought that this brute iron was a man with big nerves, and although he slowed down the speed of condensing the magic seal, he still didn't find the problem on his fingers.
Whenever he reached that node, his finger would twitch slightly subconsciously.
The feeling to Bai Canghai is like a conditioned reflex, a subconscious natural reaction, and it is very subtle, so he has deceived Mantie, his own master, without the slightest notice.
Bai Canghai couldn't help but be curious, so he stopped, grabbed his right hand and examined it carefully.
It didn't matter if he looked at it, Bai Canghai suddenly found that the rough right hand of Mantie was covered with scars, especially the little thumb, which was still a little deformed, as if it had been broken and spliced together, so it gave people a deformed feeling.
"What's going on?" Bai Canghai couldn't help but be curious, pointing to his finger and asked.
Mantie took his hand back, and Muru recalled: "When I was a child, I was bitten by a wolf in the mountains. ”
Bai Canghai sighed and shook his head, finally pointing out the problem of his finger.
At first, Mantie didn't believe it, but he didn't see his fingers twitching slightly after casting the sword seal a few times.
It wasn't until Bai Canghai suddenly shouted to stop and suddenly interrupted his action of casting the Imperial Sword Seal that the brute iron saw that the finger of his right hand did twitch slightly.
"How is this possible!"
Although he had witnessed the facts, Mantie still couldn't believe it, because he didn't feel his finger twitch slightly.
After that, he cast the sword seal several times in succession, and slowly, Brute Iron accepted this reality.
His finger usually doesn't see anything abnormal, but whenever he casts the sword magic seal to that node, he will twitch slightly uncontrollably.
Mantie naturally knew what this meant, and then grabbed this finger of his own, and muttered to himself, "How can this be?"
"It should have been that injury that hurt the nerves of your fingers that caused this to happen. Bai Canghai reasoned.
"Nerves?" Mantie was a little confused, and asked urgently, "Is there a way to solve it?"
Bai Canghai closed his eyes in contemplation, and only after a while did he open his eyes and say: "The acupuncture and moxibustion techniques of Chinese medicine may be curable, but unfortunately I can't do it." But don't worry, I have another way here that should heal this finger of yours!"
"What's the way!" asked Brute Iron couldn't help but ask.
"Tongmai Dan. Bai Canghai said: "You hurt the nerves on your fingers, that is, you hurt the meridians on your fingers, and the Tongmai Pill may be able to help you open up the meridians on your fingers and make your fingers return to normal." ”
Hearing this, Mantie's face suddenly became happy, and then he patted the white storage bag on his waist, and there was an extra Dan bottle in his hand.
Then in front of Bai Canghai, he directly took out a black pill from the bottle, opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Next, Man Tie put the Dan bottle aside and meditated cross-legged directly in Bai Canghai's room.
Bai Canghai didn't bother him, but picked up the pill bottle that Mantie had put aside, and took a pill from it to check it.
By comparing it with the "Alchemy" in his mind, Bai Canghai recognized it at a glance that this black elixir was the so-called 'Tongmai Pill'.
It's just that the quality of these Tongmai Pills is very ordinary, and they can only be regarded as the most inferior low-grade pills among the first-order pills.
Bai Canghai wanted to eat one and taste it, but after looking at the quality of these pills, he couldn't help but throw them back into the pill bottle.
For him, a person who has already obtained the Dan Dao inheritance, this kind of inferior elixir, which can almost be regarded as a failure in refining, is really difficult to enter.
Subconsciously, Bai Canghai had already regarded himself as an alchemist.
And for an alchemist, how could he go to eat pills that he didn't look down on and that others had failed to refine?
After putting down the Tongmai Pill, Bai Canghai pondered.
After a marrow washing, his current physique has also been reborn.
It can be said that he has already succeeded in forging his body at this time.
Next, he was about to start thinking about opening up the meridians in his body.
Only by opening up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in his body can he lead the aura of heaven and earth into his body to practice, and then open up the sea of dantian qi, and from then on step into the real cultivation.
It's a pity that Long Zichuan left in a hurry, leaving him only with the technique of forging his body, but not the internal strength and mental method needed to open up the meridians.
So Bai Canghai put his mind on the brute iron in front of him again, wanting to get something out of his body.
Time passed little by little, and after frowning and meditating for half an hour, Mantie finally gathered his strength and stood up.
It's just that his brows are still tightened, he looks at the little thumb of his right hand, and can't help but sigh and shake his head.
Obviously, the Tongmai Pill that he had just taken did not help him open up the meridians on his fingers.
Mantie still didn't give up, and picked up the pill bottle of Tongmai Dan again, wanting to try again, but was stopped by Bai Canghai.
Bai Canghai shook his head and said, "The injury on your hand, because it has been dragged and dropped for too long, has blocked the meridians, so this inferior Tongmai Pill is not enough to help you get through it." ”
Putting down the Tongmai Pill in his hand, Mantie couldn't help but ask, "Then what grade of Tongmai Dan can help me open up the meridians on my fingers?"
Bai Canghai groaned: "At least it must be a top-grade Tongmai Pill, if it is a top-grade Tongmai Pill, it will be even better." ”
"Top-grade Tongmai Dan? Hearing this, Mantie's eyes widened in shock.
"What's the matter? Tongmai Pill is just a first-order pill, and it shouldn't be difficult to refine the top-grade and top-grade Tongmai Pill, isn't there one in this huge Tiannan Sword Sect?"
Mantie smiled bitterly, "It's not that there isn't, but the price of the top-grade Tongmai Pill is too high, and it takes at least thousands of spirit stones to do it, even if it is a top-grade Tongmai Pill, it will take more than eight hundred spirit stones, and with my current net worth, I can't afford it at all." ”
Subsequently, Mantie truthfully told Bai Canghai some of his situation.
It turned out that these disciples of the Tiannan Sword Sect during the Qi cultivation period could only receive ten spirit stones every month.
And they also have to use the spiritual energy in these spirit stones to cultivate, and they have to consume about five or six pieces a month.
Add in a few other expenses, and at the end of the year, they have very little left.
Therefore, the vast majority of them could only sigh at the top-grade and top-grade pills that cost hundreds or thousands of spirit stones at every turn, and could only buy some low-grade pills at low prices to take.
After listening to these words of the brute iron, Bai Canghai secretly said that it was a pity that he had hidden some spirit stones in the Hundred Flowers Valley, but unfortunately he couldn't bring them here, otherwise he would be able to help this strong man in front of him without the slightest scheming.
Although he had "Alchemy" in his mind, he was also confident that with the help of his scanning eyes, he could easily refine the best Tongmai Pill.
But Bai Canghai didn't dare to do this, after all, this was the Tiannan Sword Sect, if it was exposed that he was carrying the Dan Dao inheritance of the Hundred Flowers Valley, then he would be in danger, and the best result would be that he would end up like Bai Xue and the others, and be placed under house arrest!
Bai Canghai couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the brute iron in front of him.
In the short time they spent together, Bai Canghai had a good impression of Mantie, and felt that this person's joys, sorrows, and sorrows were all on his face, and he was a person with a true temperament.
Bai Canghai still remembers the last time he was in the bluestone square, because he was not good at cultivating the imperial sword technique, no foundation building monk was willing to accept him as an apprentice, so he cried like a wronged child.
Therefore, when he can, Bai Canghai is very willing to help him.
But just when Bai Canghai was a little entangled in his heart, he saw that the brute iron suddenly picked up an iron sword, stretched out the little thumb of his right hand, and then slashed it down with a sword......
