The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 15 Fasting (2)()

It was getting late, and there were no entertainment programs in this place. Zhao Tong had no choice but to maintain the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. He slept in the inner room, while Jian Xi slept outside and was always waiting. Before Jian Xi went to bed, he went to the main hall to check.

Incense candles and a brazier were sent to the two small yellow doors according to Zhao Tong's instructions. When he entered the house, the lights in the inner room were out. The prince had already fallen asleep. He made a place on the soft couch and lay down with his clothes.

Next, he started snoring. He was very tired today.

Zhao Tong did not lie down in the inner room. He sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. He inhaled and exhaled. When exhaling, the true energy passed from the Niwan Palace to the Tianmu and Magpie Bridge. After going down the double building, it divided into two parts and reached his shoulders.

, go along the inner sides of the shoulders to the palms and fingers, then from the fingertips through the back of the hands along the outer sides of the arms to the Tiantu convergence, go down along the Ren channel to the lower Dantian, then follow the Dai channel around the body, and go down from the left and right Huantiao points on the outside of the legs.

Go to the Yongquan point, open the Yongquan point to expel the sick and turbid qi; inhale the spiritual energy of the earth from the Yongquan point, go to the big toe and go up along the inner side of the leg, meet at the perineum, pass under the magpie bridge, and go up to the tail gate.

Pass the Mingmen, Jiaji, and Jade Pillow, and go up to the Niwan and stop for a while. At this time, you feel that the Niwan opens and the true energy enters. This completes a cycle and starts over again.

About an hour later, Zhao Tong slowly stopped the exercise and used his mind to concentrate the true energy on his lower Dantian. This set of exercises was taught to him by a comrade from his previous life who was proficient in the Bajiquan training team during the training period.

It's just that the time they were together was short, and he only learned the recuperation skills and a set of airs, which are the basics.

This set of internal skills can recuperate the body, strengthen the internal organs, regulate qi and blood, and nourish the spirit. It can gradually increase the skill. It also contains a set of auxiliary skills. It is said that if you practice it for a long time, your eyes can see small objects, you can see objects clearly at night, and your ears can hear.

Qing the subtle sounds around him. Now he is using this set of exercises to strengthen his physique. What happened today makes him very upset. In ancient times, he couldn't do the exercises, he couldn't hold a sword or a gun, let alone making achievements, even his survival would be threatened. He had to practice well

Your body should at least be ready to run in the 'chaotic times'!

Jian Xi slept soundly all night, and the prince actually regarded him as a relative, which gave him some comfort in the indifferent palace. When he woke up, he found that he was covered with the prince's quilt, and the coals in the brazier were red.

It seemed that it was the prince who got up at night. Jian Xi secretly blamed himself for sleeping too hard at night. He hurriedly got up and found that no one was in the inner room. He hurried out and saw that the prince was walking in the courtyard according to Meng Tao's instruction yesterday.

.

Jian Xi stopped the small yellow door who was about to sweep, not letting them disturb the prince's practice, and stayed aside quietly. Zhao Tong tried hard to maintain the correct posture, the muscles on his body were trembling, and his legs were shaking like chaff.

There was a layer of heat hanging over his head, and he really wanted to stand up straight and move around, but he knew that he had to get through this level. It wasn't until after one stick of incense that his physical strength reached the limit that Zhao Yu stopped and stood up.

"Second Master, don't be tired, take your time, you are still weak!" Jian Xi saw Zhao Tong's success, and quickly stepped forward to support him and wiped his sweat with a silk scarf and said distressedly.

"No matter how happy you are, you have to pay a price for everything you do. Just grit your teeth and get through it!" Zhao Tong said with a smile as he moved his sore legs and feet.

The days of fasting are very lonely. After washing, Zhao Tong burned incense again and sat in the hall for a while. He walked around the yard twice out of boredom and then, not knowing what to do, sat on a stone bench under the tree.

daze.

"Second Master, let's go to Qingyun's alchemy room to see what fun there is?" Jian Xi came over and whispered. Idle time was idle, Zhao Tong followed Jian Xi to the alchemy room in the back hall without any hesitation.

Quite a few, but he had never entered the alchemy room. It was a forbidden area that Qingyun did not allow anyone to approach. It was still full of mystery to him. Now that Qingyun had run away, he could find out.

Jian Xi walked in front and carefully pushed the door open. The door opened with a creaking sound. The door was not locked, but was just ajar. It was so dark inside that he couldn't see what was there. Fortunately, Jian Xi brought the flint with him.

, lit the tinder and lit the candles in the room. Only then did Zhao Tong see the inside of the alchemy room clearly. The room was 3 feet long and about 1.6 feet wide. The walls were smoothed with mud inside and outside, solid and tight, and the doors and windows were located due east.

Due to the south, it is very tightly closed and no light leaks out.

In the center of the alchemy room, there is an alchemy platform about eight inches high and more than two feet wide. There is a stove below, and an alchemy furnace is placed on it. There are charcoal, some bottles and jars and some alchemy tools piled around it. There is a table in the corner.

A soft couch, a low table, and a few books were thrown there in disorder. It was a resting place. Refining elixirs takes a long time. It is said that some advanced practitioners only produce elixirs once a year. After eating the elixirs,

He ascended directly to immortality.

Zhao Tong did not take these legends seriously. He was refining elixirs in this sealed alchemy room, which was smoky and hot, day and night. If he got silicosis, got gas, or developed fatigue syndrome, he would have to say that the Buddha would bless him. No,

It should be the blessing of Taishang Laojun. He picked up a book and flipped through it. It turned out to be Qingyun's alchemy notes, which recorded in detail the process of each alchemy he made. It should be first-hand information, and there is no need for such an important thing.

Yes, it seems that Qingyun really ran away in a hurry!

'A sneeze', a sudden loud sneeze startled Zhao Tan. He turned around and saw Jianxi holding a jar and sneezing non-stop. His nose and tears came down, and there was a choking smell emanating from the jar.

The strange smell.

Zhao Tong knew that these Taoist priests who made alchemy were called "pioneers of chemistry" in modern history. They dared to put anything into the alchemy furnace and fiddled with some weird stuff, and then they dared to eat it.

It was 'ascended'. When he saw this, he knew that he had been tricked. He quickly grabbed the jar from his hand, closed the lid, opened the doors and windows, and let the air circulate to dispel the strange smell in the house!

"Damn it, Qingyun is such a badass and he got away and hurt people. If I catch him, I have to take off his pants and spank him!" Jianxi cursed while sniffing his nose.

"Hehe, who asked you to writhe blindly? You will suffer a loss this time!"

"Second Master, I just want to see if he has any refined elixirs. We can live a long life if we eat them. Who knew the contents of this jar are so choking!" Jianxi wiped his face, a little bit.

Said angrily.

After the strange smell in the room dissipated, Zhao Tong saw the notes he had just thrown on the ground in desperation. His heart moved and he quickly picked them up. Qingyun ran away, and his source of red phosphorus was cut off. If the notes recorded the refining

Then he would no longer have to worry about not getting it. Thinking of this, Zhao Tong was a little excited. He hurriedly opened his notes and searched carefully page by page.

This notebook has obviously not been organized, and is written in a very messy manner. It is all written in vernacular. Even though he can recite the chemical element table from top to bottom, Qingyun doesn't know that. After a long time of effort, Zhao Tan finally discovered these few sentences.

: Mix blue and white stone, white sand and charcoal powder, put it into the alchemy furnace, close the furnace and heat it until the cauldron turns red, and you can get dark red fine powder, which can be pounded and fried with a hammer.

"That's it, but what is blue and white stone? White sand and charcoal powder are literally easy to understand, but there are too many green and white stones. I don't know which one it is." Although I found it, my heart felt cold.

, is it because he is so unlucky that he has to catch Old Dao Qingyun back again? Zhao Tong was a little annoyed.

"Second Master, what's the matter?" Jian Xi asked with concern as he saw Zhao Tong's face changing several times, sometimes feeling happy and sometimes worried.

"This old guy didn't even mark what kind of stone it was. If he wrote it, it would be in vain!" Zhao Tong angrily slapped the note and cursed.

"Haha, Second Master, you are stupid this time. While you were reading just now, I went to Qingyun's warehouse next door and took a look. It was filled with all kinds of stones, but they all had names written on them!" Jianxi laughed and teased him,

He hasn't learned the lesson just yet.

"Take me quickly and take a look!" Zhao Tong pulled him away and left. When he found the blue and white stone in the warehouse, he really couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this the phosphate rock used to make phosphate fertilizer in his previous life? There was something different about the white sand.

, not white sand but quartz sand.

"I'm glad, how about the two of us also refine the elixir?" Zhao Tong found the right thing and was in a good mood, and asked with a smile.

"Second Master, you can also make alchemy, great!" After Jianxi saw Zhao Tong's pistol, he developed a blind trust in Zhao Tong. He thought that the prince had really learned how to make alchemy from the book, and he was eager to try it.

The two men started as they were told. They ground the stones and charcoal into powder, put them into a crucible according to the proportion, covered the lid and sealed it with mud, put it on the alchemy furnace, lit the charcoal fire, and after the crucible was red, Zhao Tong

He took Jianxi and hid outside the house. He was not sure whether this thing would explode.

The two enthusiastic people forgot about the cold and hunger at this time. They waited until the evening, when the charcoal burned out and slowly extinguished, and the crucible cooled down, then they gently peeled off the sealing mud and opened the lid. Zhao Tong carefully used it.

He picked out some dark red crystals from the bamboo slices, carefully took them outside, and smashed them hard with a hammer. There was a flash of fire and a bang, and his heart dropped to the ground after being hung for a long time.

"Second Master, was it successful?" Jianxi asked carefully.

"Hehe, it worked. This is what we want, but we can't eat it or touch it, otherwise it will blow us all up to the sky!" Zhao Tong said excitedly with his lips twisted with joy.

This time the 'alchemy' Zhao Tao had a great harvest. He got almost a pound of red phosphorus, which was enough for him to use for a long time. He carefully poured the red phosphorus into the jar, added water, and sealed the lid.

Bury it in a cool corner to prevent oxidation and reduce the risk of explosion.
