Catalog of Destruction

As a person who has a special liking for immortals, as a person who hopes to be free and carefree, and as a person who is afraid of death, now that he has the opportunity to cultivate immortality and seek immortality, Shi Xuan will definitely pursue it without hesitation.

To practice Taoism, money, partners, Dharma, and land are essential.

In terms of wealth, he inherited Lao Tao's inheritance. He still has a thousand taels of silver, but the accumulation of cultivation resources is very small. In the words of Xu Lao Tao, there is a shortage of things for cultivating immortals in the land of Middle-earth.

Friend, judging from Xu Laodao's teachings, the highest level of cultivation in the two capitals and thirteen states is only to reach the soul out of the body. Then in the future, when the level of cultivation is high and there are bottlenecks that require stones from other mountains, it may be difficult to find people with the same level to discuss. , discussion, not to mention when you encounter difficult problems, encounter sentences that you don’t understand in Taoism, and need to consult someone with a higher level.

Dharma, I already have the fundamental Dharma that directly points to the Tao. There is no need to ask for this from outside. But judging from the content of the first volume of Baolu just now, I am more inclined to the Tao. In terms of Dharma, there are only about ten kinds of Dharma that are naturally derived from my own Tao. Taoism.

As for the content of refining the weapons, Qingyunzi himself excerpted a few methods for refining the magical weapons at the end of the first volume. Moreover, judging from the materials of these magical weapons, only a few are known from memory, and the rest are myths and storybooks. , materials that only appear in storytelling, and there are some that I have never even heard of. The most important thing is that there is no basic content on weapon refining. Shi Xuan almost burst into tears when he saw the map of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers before. The life and death disk, the Five Fire Burning Heaven Banner, and the like were very exciting, but the result was really deceptive!

The same goes for alchemy. It seems that these are not the contents of the treasure record, but the last few pill formulas and diagrams of the equipment that Qingyunzi himself attached. In addition, he was a person from a long, long, long, long, long time ago, so this situation occurred.

Land, from what Xu Laodao meant, there are many famous mountains and rivers with a good environment.

Shi Xuan sighed. It seemed that he would definitely embark on the same path as Xu Laodao in the future, traveling around the world in search of immortals. Then excluding the places that Xu Laodao has been to, it seems that there are only three places in China that need to be visited, Tongxuan Mountain, Mang Mountain and the Imperial Capital. The last part was added by Shi Xuan himself, because if there really is a world of immortality, and they need to communicate with the mortal world, apart from the famous mountains and rivers, I am afraid that only the capital of one dynasty can meet the conditions, no matter whether this condition is to meet the items The collection of spiritual herbs and other resources is also the recruitment of talented disciples. These are all based on various novels I have read before, plus some empirical reasoning. If you are wrong, just consider your trip in vain.

After traveling through Middle-earth, if there is no fairy fate, I will prepare to set sail to go to the fairy island in the East China Sea that is often mentioned in myths and legends. The following order is south of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Western Wilderness.

Shi Xuan took a sip of cold water. The long-term goals and steps for the future have been roughly planned. In the short term, it is necessary to heal the injury first, and then it is best to restore the body to its previous level, and then take the next step after gaining the power to protect itself. I have been following the Taoist for ten years, and I still have the skills in medicine, pharmacology, healing and medicine, and my body can be restored to its original state within half a month.

However, the main problem is that the body and soul are at different levels. The body is Du Bai's body. It has passed the realm of physical training and reached the level of self-generated inner energy and strong soul. And the soul belongs to Shi Xuan. It was fine when he was in school in his previous life, but he neglected to exercise after going to work. The soul realm is still in the early stage of body training and soul nourishing period. This is also the reason why Shi Xuan did not start visualization practice immediately. During visualization, the inner energy will be guided to strengthen the soul. At the current level of the soul, it is very likely that the deficiency will not be replenished. To be cautious, it is better to exercise every day and wait until the soul is strong. After the body is slowly nourished, the soul reaches the initial strength of the soul and then starts to visualize.

In the past, it took Du Bai seven years to start exercising from scratch until he entered the stage of nourishing Qi and strengthening the soul. But now that the body has reached the Qi-nourishing stage, the nourishment for the soul is not what it used to be. Shi Xuan estimates that when the soul enters the Soul-Strengthening stage, it should be several times smaller than before. The specific time for it to arrive will take some time and will be judged from the nourishing effect. .

Moreover, the medicinal bath prescriptions and medicinal soups that Du Bai used when exercising were all from the true biography obtained by Xu Laodao. Now Shi Xuan has a better choice. He has provided three prescriptions in Baolu. There are two types: medicated bath and taking.

But just like the elixir recipe and the device diagram, many of the medicinal materials in it are unheard of or are in legends. Especially the first prescription, the Dragon King's Blood Refining Pill, has probably never been heard of and is only from myths and legends. The second prescription, Renxian Body Strengthening Decoction, is 40% to 50%.

The good news is that the third prescription, Qianyuan Changmui Decoction, the best doctors outside may say that more than 20% of it is unheard of or from myths and legends, but these are included in Xu Laodao's prescription. At the same time, Its ancient name and current name after time evolution are marked!

Of course, everything is not perfect, and there is still a kind of medicinal material "Shishang Ginseng" that is not labeled, but Shi Xuan remembers seeing it in ancient books, and he can basically confirm that it is Shi Bao, Chi Ginseng, and Tai Hen Mian. One kind, which one it is, I can only wait until I go out and buy some of each, find a few experimental animals, and try it out to find out.

In fact, even if the names of the drugs are correct, Shi Xuan plans to conduct animal experiments first, because after the name of the drug has evolved for so long, it is very possible that another drug will evolve into the current name. For example, it was originally A and B. After evolution, A's name became D, and B's name became A.

Of course, if this happens, it is very likely that the medicinal properties of A and B are different. Shi Xuan is now proficient in pharmacology and should be able to tell the difference. But if A and B have the same medicinal properties, but are different in subtle ways, then it is possible that the drug B will be passed off as A. In Xu Laodao's prescription, it has exactly the same medicinal properties as other drugs and is effective, but in Shixuan's plan to use it The medicines are poisonous due to subtle differences. The probability of this is very low, but you can't deal with it just in case. When it comes to issues related to your own life, it's better to be more cautious. If something really goes wrong, who can you cry to?

Shi Xuan decided on the future path and the few things he would do in the near future. He was immediately determined. Then he felt very hungry. He changed into a Taoist robe and took over a hundred taels of silver. He planned to go out to fill his stomach first, and then Going to buy medicine and other important things, as for the few relics left by Xu Laodao, it is better to wait until the night is quiet to see them.

After leaving the yard, I was almost blinded by the sun. It was already past noon. No wonder I was very hungry. He locked the courtyard door, said hello to the neighbors on his left and right, and walked towards the alley.

The neighbors on the left and right were very surprised. Aunt Zhang on the left said to Aunt Li on the right: "Hey, this guy is usually very shy. When he saw us passing by with our heads down, the sun came out in the west today, so he took the initiative to say hello."

"I think it was after his grandfather passed away that he tasted all kinds of things. I think this guy is pretty good. Your daughter is a perfect match for him. His family is also rich. He can definitely get a few hundred taels of silver. Come out." Aunt Li is passionate about matchmaking work.

Aunt Zhang sighed: "My damn girl has been studying with her second uncle for a few days. She is very arrogant and always wants to find a Jinshi master. She doesn't look at herself. The Jinshi master is from the stars in the sky and comes to earth. She deserves it." Come on!"

However, Shi Xuan walked out of the alley and arrived at the bustling and noisy street. Instead of choosing the ornately decorated restaurant, he went to a small noodle shop on the street based on his memory.

"Uncle Liu, here are three liang of Yangchun noodles, and cut into half a catty of braised pig intestines." The braised taste of this restaurant is unique in this city. You must know that this city is the capital of Xia'an Prefecture, which is the boundary of Yangzhou except the prefectural city of Yangzhou. It is a first-class prosperous place, not just a small town. It controls a canal along the Yangtze River and is a famous transportation hub in thirteen states in the world.

"Hey, Mr. Du, you usually come very early. It's almost noon today." Shopkeeper Liu cut the pig intestines and walked over with a big belly. He was still very concerned about this neighbor who had grown up with him. .

"Hey, don't mention it. I was thinking about what to do in the future last night and couldn't sleep. I felt very stressed." Shi Xuan recalled Du Bai's tone in front of Shopkeeper Liu, but he still unconsciously adopted his current tone.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Liu cared about the content of the topic and did not pay too much attention to his tone: "I see that you have a good body. Why don't you go to the yamen and be a yamen servant? The salary is not much, but the other aspects add up to a lot. Your family Although I have some financial resources, I still can’t just sit back and rest on my laurels. I still have some connections in this regard.”

Shi Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liu, I have a relative in Anjing City. I plan to leave in half a year to join him. Under the emperor's feet, there will be more opportunities." This can be regarded as laying the groundwork for leaving in the future. The neighbors basically only knew that Shi Xuan was exercising, but they didn't know about practicing Taoism. There were probably very few people in the world who had actually seen Taoism.

As for the issue of Taoist robes, several emperors in succession believed in Taoism, so as a result of the world's custom, many wealthy businessmen, and even Confucian scholars and high-ranking officials like to wear Taoist robes at home. In other words, Taoist robes are modern brand-name casual clothes. Therefore, it didn't matter that Shi Xuan was wearing a Taoist robe but no Taoist disc. At most, he was thought to be the son of a wealthy businessman or a Confucian scholar.

"Although there are many opportunities under the emperor's feet, there are also many dangers. I know that you are young and ambitious, so you must do your best." After speaking, shopkeeper Liu patted Shi Xuan on the shoulder and went to greet the new customers. At this time, Yangchun noodles were also served.

Shi Xuan had been extremely hungry for a long time, but with ten years of experience in Taoism and physical training, he knew not to eat in a hurry at this time, so he ate slowly. One bite of Yangchun Noodles, braised in one bite, light and refreshing, full of braised aroma, smooth but not greasy, it is truly delicious.

I drank up the noodle soup with the last mouthful. It was so comfortable. After I was full of Shi Xuan Tang, a foodie in my previous life, I finally felt so good to be alive. Then I got up and gave the meal money to shopkeeper Liu, said hello and went out to the south of the city. , there are several large medicinal stores there.
