Chapter 3 Buying Medicines and Checking Relics

Shi Xuan had enough food and drink, so he had time to observe this city that was completely different from modern society. While recalling the road to the south of the city, he looked around. Maybe because today is a market day, there are crowds of people, and there are small vendors on both sides selling some daily necessities, which seem to have been here for a long time. The vegetables sellers are roughly concentrated on several of the streets. After these streets, you can only see a few streets around the corners of the streets in the south of the city.

It is June now, and there are indeed many people wearing Taoist robes on the street, and some people even wore Taoist robes and folding fans, looking inappropriate.

Shi Xuan came to Shuijing Street, south of Cheng, and found a pharmacy that looked the largest and most crowded. When he walked to the door, he saw three large characters similar to Wei-like characters on the plaque - Tongrentang. Shi Xuan was shocked. Tongrentang was really powerful, and the branches were opened in another world.

After entering the door, I went straight to the counter and saw that the shopkeeper was greeting the guests. It was a great time. I smiled at the apprentice at the counter, said hello, and then opened my mouth to report several medicinal materials in the prescription. The apprentice saw that although there were two precious medicinal materials, they were also in stock, so I didn't ask Shi Xuan what he wanted. He directly grabbed the oil paper and handed it to Shi Xuan: "Chenghui is four or three cents of silver."

Shi Xuan was secretly surprised at the cost of prescriptions and medicinal materials. These are just a few of them. From this point of view, his property may only be prepared for fifty medicinal materials. The medicinal materials he bought can be used for about three or six times each time. If his soul has not entered the soul-strengthening stage in half a year, he will go bankrupt. Taoist priests who are poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts and losers do have certain reasons. Of course, martial arts practitioners do not have such a magical and precious prescription. Generally, the prescriptions used by martial arts practitioners to train their bodies will cost about dozens of taels of silver a year, and the more precious ones are about one or two hundred taels of silver. This is also very scary. You should know that Shi Xuan's small courtyard is only worth two or three hundred taels of silver.

Although I was surprised, my face was silent, I took out the silver and paid to go out, and then switched to several medicinal materials stores to complete the medicinal materials on the prescription. This way, I bought several of them in this way can effectively prevent others from seeing the preciousness of the prescription through the medicinal materials I purchased, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

Then I went to the butcher shop and told the shopkeeper that he planned to invite relatives and friends to a dog meat banquet, and asked the shopkeeper to send four live dogs to his small courtyard located in the west of the city.

Shi Xuan returned to the courtyard, meditated and adjusted his breathing for a while, and after he returned to his calmness, he went to the left room to find three spare medicine jars, then pinched the tricks and chanted the mantra, mobilized the body's five elements of energy and the heaven and earth, and cast a dust removal curse to clean the medicine jars. Then, according to the last medicine, it was divided into three parts, and each was put in according to the amount of the prescription and the amount of water required. At this time, the commonly used medicine jars cannot be used, because no matter how they are cleaned, the commonly used medicine jars always have some medicinal properties. Generally, there is no problem, but now it is a prescription similar to alchemy, and a little bit of extra medicinal properties may lead to failure.

Carry the medicine jar into the kitchen. Here, the old Taoist often refining medicine and uses a row of small stoves. After putting it in, find wood and ignite it with ignition. Shi Xuan began to feel a little tired. Oh, his soul is too weak. Although the Qi-raising period can mobilize the five elements of the physical body to cast spells, it will eventually consume the soul's power. Of course, the Five Elements of the physical body in the Qi-raising period is also the reason why Shi Xuan can cast spells by instructing the soul of the soul in the Soul-raising period.

Shi Xuan cheered up and did not dare to neglect. He pinched the good tricks and recited the curse. He used the fire control technique and carefully controlled the fire until half an hour passed. The most difficult part before passed. Now he only needs to keep the fire low and wait for another two hours.

Shi Xuan then let out a long sigh, feeling dizzy all over. He quickly sat down cross-legged and exhaled. It took him a while to have the power to move. When Zheng Sunan, the shopkeeper of the butcher shop, brought two black and two yellow dogs, Shi Xuan's face returned to normal.

After tied up four dogs, Shi Xuan dug a bucket of water from the well and drank it happily, then went into the house to sort out the relics of the old Taoist priest.

Shi Xuan entered Lao Dao's room for the first time since Lao Dao died. The room was very neat. Shi Xuan searched everywhere. Apart from some clothes and commonly used items, it was just a gray package. These clothes were not very useful to Shi Xuan. He had a bad figure, so he would not be able to do needlework if he changed it. It seemed that Lao Dao had a premonition about his death and had everything in the package.

When you open the package, there are three things inside. They are also an ancient book "Gui Zhen Sutra", which is the true teaching obtained by the old Taoist, and it is also the method of practicing before this body. However, for Shi Xuan, if he has the fundamental method of "The True Transmission of Yu Yu, the True Transmission of the Death of the Dao" that directly points to the great way, then the practice method of this sutra is not very useful. However, the Taoist methods in "Gui Zhen Sutra" are all derived from the fundamental method. Except for several magical powers that require external objects to practice, most of them are Taoist techniques that can only be practiced in the Golden Elixir Stage and later. There are more methods that can be used in Gui Zhen Sutra. Although they are all magical techniques, because of the limitation of realm, they are not very powerful, but magical techniques are magical and have all kinds of useful things.

Shi Xuan thought that his power was not great, so he thought of a magic channel technique that needed to be practiced by external objects in "Treasure Lu". Taiyin lung yang Gengjin sword energy. This magical power requires finding a piece of Gengjin, and then using secret methods to absorb the Gengjin energy in the lungs. He used secret methods to fight day and night to finally form. It is described that the power is extremely powerful, and it does not require the time to chant the spell like casting. It is extremely fast to use. The cultivators in the Soul Stage may not be able to block the edge of their heads. Of course, if they can hit the target, it is another matter, because this magical power has a distance limit and a number of times limits. Of course, as the sword energy is slowly nourished in the future, the power and distance will become greater.

But it's just a thought. This magical power requires the lowest requirement for practice in the out-of-body stage. Because there is no subtle control of one's soul, what to use to control the Gengjin Qi, and no powerful internal energy power, what to use to resist the sharpness of Gengjin Qi. In addition, Gengjin is not so easy to find!! Of course, it's nothing if you don't use Gengjin, Taiyi True Gold, Western Gold Essence, Taibai Essence, these legendary objects that can be used to practice immortal swords, but they are just changed to the name of magical powers. Of course, these are also hard to come by.

Strangely, Qing Yunzi said in "Baolu" that you must practice this magical power and the other four magical powers before the Jindan stage (Shaoyin Heart Yang Deficiency and Real Fire, Jueyin Liver Yang Qing Wood Transformation and Generation, Taiyin Spleen Yang Mountains and Mountains, Shaoyin Kidney Yin Ice Soul Divine Light). At that time, there will be great benefits to enter the Jindan stage. What are the specific benefits? Qing Yunzi kept it a secret.

Back to the topic, the "Gui Zhen Sutra" is also the fundamental part of the true teachings of a Taoist Dharma, and there is no foundation for refining weapons and alchemy. It is a pity.

Shi Xuan put the "Gui Zhen Sutra" aside, and suddenly thought that he would have majored in "Treasure Lu" in the future, so wouldn't Xu Laodao's Taoist tradition be lost? Although he and Xu Laodao have no actual master-disciple relationship, he also saw the care of Du Bai through memory fragments. Since it is now his own body, he must be grateful to him and repay his feelings. It seems that he can only wait until he travels around the world in the future to find another good material and jade to pass on the Taoist tradition.

Shi Xuan looked at another thing. This was a stack of talismans that had been tied up. There were about ten pieces. They were the self-defense items that Xu Laodao prepared for his disciples in the last year. You should know that although the magic can be used in the Qi-raising and Soul-strengthening Stage, the magic at this time requires many steps and time, so he often draws the talismans in advance. At that time, only a spell or even a little soul power is needed to stimulate the talismans. As a master in the Out-of-body Stage, Xu Laodao must have many talismans left than Shi Xuan, a disciple.

Shi Xuan carefully checked the talismans, and there were seventeen chapters in total, four of which were four, including the talismans invisible and hidden air, the talismans absorbing earth to form armor, the talismans inducing air to attract thunder, and the golden light to destroy soul. The other one is written using the ancient cloud seal (the contents of the ancient thunder pattern and the ancient cloud seal in "Taolu") - Taiyi Booming Tianlei. Thunder light appears on it, and the handwriting is simple, and it does not look like it can be drawn by Xu Laodao. It is either inherited when he obtained the true teachings or obtained from a strange adventure when he went out for a trip.

The last thing was a mirror and a piece of paper posted by the old Taoist, which said that it was obtained by the old Taoist in a deserted temple in Laoshan, Huxi. This mirror was fixed in the temple for decades. The old Taoist passed by and moved the mirror to get out of trouble. In a belligerent, the old Taoist almost died. Finally, he used one of the two Taiyi Booming Thunder Talismans obtained when he encountered the true teaching to kill the century-old ghost. The mirror was also shattered. Although Xu Lao Dao could not recognize the material of the mirror, he finally picked up the largest piece of the mirror and returned it into a mirror. It was just that it no longer had the power of the past, and could not even have the algorithm. It could only determine that the ghosts were weak due to natural supernatural powers.

However, because the materials are very good, Old Dao Xu planned to leave them to his disciples. He might not be able to practice a magic weapon again if he has the chance. As mentioned earlier, before the Golden Elixir Stage, there are various steps to cast spells. Although it will save a lot of casting time as the realm improves, some people always think that casting is slow, so they come up with various alternative methods, such as talismans, and magic weapons. Using external objects to practice magic powers on the treasure book is also a substitute method.

Magical instruments, made of suitable materials, suitable prohibitions, and time-refined spells, are powerful and easy to use, and are the most favored by cultivators. Of course, they are also precious and abnormal. Magical instruments are divided into four levels: magical instruments, spiritual instruments, magical weapons, and spiritual treasures. The corresponding Earth Evils are used to refine magical instruments. The magical instruments are perfectly combined into Tiangang bans and advanced to spiritual weapons. Only then can the Tiangang bans be refined. The restrictions of magical weapons and spiritual treasures are called treasure bans and spiritual treasures respectively. In general, magical instruments and spiritual treasures are considered objects in the Qi training period, while magical weapons and spiritual treasures are objects in the Yuanshen period.

After checking the relics left by the old Taoist, Shi Xuan put the scriptures in close proximity, and placed the talismans in the belt and the hidden bag in the sleeve for easy access. Only the mirror was received in his own package. Now there are neither other suitable materials nor refining techniques, and it is useless to drool in the ideation tool.
