In the villages relatively close to Tongguan City, crops such as wheat and rice are planted in large quantities. From this point of view, there should be no shortage of food in these villages.
From another point of view, the houses are tall and the village roads are clean. This is not an environment that people who live in hardship can live in.
Not only that, if you encounter any danger, you can immediately hide in Tongguan City to save your life.
The extra grain, vegetables, etc. produced in the fields can be sold to Tongguan City in exchange for other things to improve life.
The ox-cart and horse-drawn carriage in front of us are here for this purpose.
However, not everyone lined up honestly. In the short time Wu Tao observed, several people walked straight into the city with their heads held high.
Seeing their actions, the monks guarding the city gate showed no intention of blocking them. Even the mortals queuing up did not show any uproar or dissatisfaction, but instead looked at them with envy.
Seeing this scene, Wu Tao instantly understood that this place was somewhat similar to the Kyushu Immortal Cultivation World in this regard.
Where mortals and monks live together, monks have special rights.
Wu Tao pondered for a moment, gave up the idea of lining up, and walked straight towards the city gate like the previous people.
Sure enough, the monks guarding the city did not obstruct it, but instead gave way to a path.
The gate of Tongguan City is deep and deep, with a distance of thirty feet. It can be seen that the thickness of the city wall is probably even greater than what is seen on the surface.
As soon as Wu Tao stepped into Tongguan City, he was greeted by a burst of noise.
White and smooth marble slabs cover the main road where eighteen horse-drawn carriages can walk side by side.
There are many shops and restaurants next to the main road.
The bustling crowds on the main road, with cars and horses like dragons, and a sea of people, like a tide, made Wu Tao a little uncomfortable. He didn't like it here.
He would rather stay in a quiet corner than be in a noisy crowd, which makes him feel very annoyed.
Wu Tao ducked into a branching street, where there were indeed fewer people.
This is Beicheng District of Tongguan City.
There are many vendors setting up stalls in the branch streets. Among the vendors, there are monks and ordinary people.
However, the mortal stall owners are concentrated in one area, while the monk stall owners are in another area.
Obviously, as long as you are not blind, you can see the difference between the two at first glance.
Wu Tao walked straight towards one of the monks' booths and walked in.
In such stalls, it is easiest to get some of the real conditions of the immortal cultivation world in this region.
So Wu Tao was not in a hurry to visit those big shops. He walked to a small stall, picked up an earthy yellow stone, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is a thick earth stone."
"This senior has great eyesight. This thick earth stone has a complete shape and no cracks. It is a good ore."
"And the price is cheap, only ten spiritual stones are needed.
The stall owner of this stall interjected.
Wu Tao smiled slightly and didn't say much, but continued to scan the stall with his eyes.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man and a monk.
However, he was only at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and Wu Tao did not deliberately hide his aura, so his identity as a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage was immediately apparent.
This stall owner sells groceries
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Business.
From his stall, there are not only a large number of mineral metals, but also several finished magical instruments, more than a dozen kinds of talismans, and several bottles of elixirs. Basically, everything a monk needs in daily life is included.
You can see it at one point.
Although this kind of stall owner in the grocery business has a low level of cultivation, he has a very wide network of contacts.
Such a guy knows a lot of people and naturally knows a lot of information.
This is exactly what Wu Tao wants to find. Perhaps all the doubts he has seen along the way can be answered.
Seeing Wu Tao standing there without speaking for a long time, the stall owner quickly promoted his ore and said: This thick earth stone is also one of the main materials for refining the body tempering pill. I wonder if you will buy it, senior?
"
After saying that, he looked at Wu Tao anxiously, obviously he valued this business very much.
After all, this is just a small stall, not as big as those big shops. For those with deep pockets, if you can sell just one piece in a day, you can still make a small fortune.
"What the hell..."
"Ore and alchemy are actually related?"
Wu Tao's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.
"Is this related to the so-called method of alchemy with gold and stone?"
In the Kyushu Immortal Cultivation World, the method of refining gold, stone, and alchemy was just a conjecture. Unexpectedly, in this underground Immortal Cultivation World, it actually became a reality.
And judging from this situation, it seems that it has become very popular and developed to a quite high level.
Otherwise, it wouldn't happen. Even the low-level monks in the Qi training stage know this.
…
Regarding the method of refining gold and stone, Wu Tao still understands the basic situation in this regard.
After all, he had studied the art of alchemy. Although he spent a lot of spiritual stones, he failed unfortunately because of his talent.
But in the process, Wu Tao gained a certain understanding of the alchemy method currently spread in the world of immortal cultivation in Kyushu, as well as its inheritance and development.
…
Speaking of which, this is also related to the redevelopment of the method of alchemy after the three consecutive wars in the ancient, ancient, and ancient times.
After several destructive wars, the spiritual veins in the Kyushu Immortal Realm were seriously damaged and a large amount of spiritual energy was lost, resulting in the extinction of many spiritual herbs that were common in the ancient, ancient, and ancient three eras.
Coupled with the loss of some unique secrets of alchemy, the monks who re-emerged from the ruins suddenly fell into a dilemma with no spiritual herbs or elixirs to use.
Faced with this situation, many geniuses who are very talented in the art of alchemy have begun to spend a lot of time to study the art of alchemy again.
Almost in the same spirit as Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs, they searched for substitutes one by one and restored most of the lost elixirs based on their efficacy.
Most of the effects of the elixirs refined in this way are much worse than those of the same type of elixirs from the ancient, ancient, and third eras, but they can still be used.
At this special time, a young alchemy master came up with such a guess.
Since we can look for other spiritual herbs and elixirs to replace the lost ones, why not use other things that contain a lot of spiritual energy to replace the lost spiritual herbs and elixirs as the main materials for alchemy?
Spiritual herbs and elixirs will be affected by the dissipation of spiritual energy and wither and disappear.
But some things cannot, such as hard minerals, fairy materials, etc.
Since the weapon refiners can
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Various materials are extracted from minerals and used to refine magical instruments and magic weapons.
So why can't alchemists separate some useful parts from it and use it to refine elixirs?
Combining the art of weapon refining with the art of alchemy may create a new avenue of alchemy.
Gold and stone are objects, and the longer they are burned, the more wonderful their transformations will be. When ore is put into fire, it will not disappear even if it is refined a hundred times, and it will remain immortal until it is buried.
This cover pretends to rely on external objects to strengthen itself, just like fat that nourishes a fire and cannot be extinguished, or bronze that coats the feet and does not rot when put into water. This is to use the strength of copper to obtain the golden elixir.
The essence is transformed into sand, and its color is given by the Bingding fire in the south. It is yang from the outside and inside. Yin, the main male, the yang soul of the sun. The radiance of the sun and the moon shines on the heaven and the earth. The sun and lunar energy alternate and receive each other for one thousand and eighty years. , the cinnabar that binds essence and energy.
The fire from the sky turns into the sun, and the yang energy is sufficient. The yin energy is weak, and the yang energy is strong. It overflows and grows by itself. The color is the Rengui water in the north. It is yin on the outside and yang on the inside. It is the master of the female, the ghost of the moon, which is not a mortal thing in the world.
Therefore, what arises spontaneously in red water flows into yang mercury. It is called the essence of heavenly lead and the ancestor of yellow buds. It is the natural rejuvenating elixir that is transformed into the natural elixir of the sun and moon.
There are six hexagrams, one line and one period, and one hexagram and thirty are combined into one month. Therefore, the way of alchemy talks about the growth and decline of yin and yang and weighs twelve hexagrams, and discusses alchemy based on minerals.
"Don't take the wrong path, gold and stone will turn into elixirs!"
This is the so-called way of mineral elixir.
Such an epoch-making idea caused a huge sensation as soon as it was announced, and it stirred up a thousand waves with one stone!
Among the many alchemists, they are divided into two groups. There are many opponents who denounce it as evil heretics, unrealistic and whimsical!
There are also many supporters, and they have begun many experiments, trying to speak with facts.
If this continues, no matter whether it succeeds or not, after thousands or even tens of thousands of experiments, a conclusion will eventually be reached.
Unexpectedly, once this conjecture was made public, it would stir up a stir. A large group of weapon refiners and spiritual herb masters, as well as the owners of the spiritual medicine garden, began to fiercely oppose it.
Good guy? Mineral resources are originally non-renewable and are rare resources!
With the massive consumption of weapon refiners in the three eras of ancient times, ancient times, and ancient times, various precious fairy stones and exotic minerals have become less and less. In today's era, the weapon refiners themselves are not enough to refine magic weapons and magic weapons. .
The refiners themselves are still worried about how to get more ore in other places.
Now these alchemists still want to compete with their weapon refiners for ore. Damn it, isn't he clearly bullying them, the blacksmiths?
In the eyes of these alchemists, the alchemist who proposed this conjecture was simply riding on their necks.
Although their weapon refiners are not as popular as the alchemists, they are not easy to bully.
…
A veteran weapon refining master, representing a large number of weapon refining masters, publicly stood up and spoke out.
Okay, if you really study the method of alchemy with gold and stone and implement it on a large scale.
So I'm sorry, you alchemists should not come to us for daily maintenance and repair of the alchemy furnace in the future.
Also, our weapon refiners will not give you alchemists to refine new alchemy furnaces.
Aren’t you able to think about it blindly? Then you can just think about it for yourself. We won’t accompany you anymore. Love, eh, eh, eh!
