Chapter 55: Counting the Harvest
After packing up the things in the Qiankun bag, Yu Zecheng began to check his assets. Among the three Qiankun bags, Han Yang's was the largest, and he would use it to carry his own items in the future. With the remaining spiritual stones from his previous cultivation, he had four mid-level spiritual stones and fifty low-level spiritual stones. Now he was considered to have a small fortune. As expected, killing people and setting fires, the golden belt was the fastest way to make money.
In addition to the spiritual stones, he also had a copy of the Futu Immortal Record, a magic weapon for the fire talisman, and the mana for five flame shocks, 18 ordinary talismans, including three fireball spells, two gold armor spells, ten horse armor spells, and two sea of fire spells. The most precious one was a five-thunder talisman. The gold armor spell can form a protective shield outside the body, which is much stronger than the protective jade talisman. The horse armor spell can increase the movement speed, and can travel a thousand miles a day. The five-thunder talisman can summon five thunders to hit the top of the head, which is a mid-level talisman.
A set of talisman making tools and a wolf Hao pen, which was made by the wolf monster Hao Mao and is a first-level magic weapon. Four pieces of dragon blood ink, which is the ink for talismans made from the blood of spirit beasts and demon beasts. One Wu Hui inkstone, which has been blessed with immortal spells and magic, which can make people concentrate. Three large stacks of talisman paper, specially made of water grass and black spider silk, with the mark of Longhu Mountain on them, a total of 300 sheets.
Four magic jade bamboo slips, two notebooks, some elixirs, and a pile of sundries. Yu Zecheng dealt with all the other Taoist robes and swords. Tongxin branches were eaten up during the war. In fact, Yu Zecheng secretly kept some spiritual herbs except for those given to Doctor Shi. They are all the fine products in the medicine garden and are useful for increasing cultivation. Among them, ten 300-year-old ginsengs are the most precious. These are all the immortal cultivation items of Yu Zecheng.
There are no words on those elixirs, and Yu Zecheng can't tell what they are. He doesn't know whether they are poisons or spiritual medicines. He dare not take them rashly, so he can only leave them idle in the bag.
After counting the things, Yu Zecheng began to learn the four magic arts of Yuzhu Jian. Only then did he realize that the entanglement magic and giant tree bombardment still needed a medium to cast the spell successfully. The medium is the necessary item to trigger the spell. For example, the entanglement magic requires the seeds of the first-level spiritual wood wood thorn, and the giant tree bombardment requires the spirit wood magic guide made of the first-level spiritual wood. When using the spell, the spell can be cast successfully with the help of them.
No wonder there was a pile of miscellaneous items in Han Yang and the others' Qiankun bag. Yu Zecheng found 96 seeds of wood thorns and 27 completed spirit wood magic guides. Fortunately, the control magic and fireball magic do not require a medium.
The spirit wood magic guide is easy to make. You only need a first-level spiritual wood. It looks like a small piece of wood one inch in size, with spiritual power condensed on it. There is an introduction to the production method in Futu Xianlu. It is very simple and Yu Zecheng can make it completely.
However, the seeds of this wood thorn are difficult to harvest. In fact, Yu Zecheng collected some in the medicine garden, but now they are in the hands of Doctor Shi. These are no longer used. I will go to Doctor Shi later and maybe I can buy them.
Yu Zecheng began to practice these four immortal arts. Compared with the previous five immortal arts, these four immortal arts are too simple. Yu Zecheng spent an afternoon on the giant tree art, and he didn't need to chant the spell. He mastered it completely, and a wood character was produced and entered the dantian.
Every time it is used, the spirit guide taken out from the Qiankun bag disappears in the hand, and then turns into a three-foot-long and one-foot-thick giant tree in Yu Zecheng's hand. Within the range of the divine consciousness, the divine consciousness is used to guide the tracking target and smash whatever you want.
The advantage of this giant tree bombardment is that each attack contains a thousand pounds of mass attack, relying on strength to smash people. And as Yu Zecheng's mana injection increases, the giant tree will become larger and larger. In other words, the longer the preparation time of this art, the larger the giant tree, and the more fierce it will smash people.
It took a whole day to master the entanglement technique. The rune produced was also a wood character, and it was similar to the rune of the giant tree bombardment. The two slowly combined in Yu Zecheng's Dantian and turned into a special wood rune.
Yu Zecheng can summon four vines to entangle the enemy within the range of his spiritual consciousness. The vines are about ten feet long and three inches thick. They are extremely tough. Yu Zecheng used his disciples as experiments. Even Lin Yehong, who was the best at martial arts, was entangled by the vines. It took a while for him to break free after releasing his true energy.
Before the two runes were formed, the use of these two spells was still normal. After the runes were formed, the last combined wood rune seemed to be infected by the Gang energy and blood energy in the Dantian, and gradually there was a slight change. From then on, when Yu Zecheng used the giant tree bombardment, the giant tree would become extremely hard, as if it contained Gang energy. The vines of the entanglement technique also gradually acquired the function of sucking blood, and the existence time of the vines increased as they sucked blood, instead of disappearing after a while. In the experiment, a wild bull was entangled and its blood was sucked dry in one stick of incense.
It took half a day to master the magic of controlling objects and obtain the control rune. In fact, this is similar to the dragon-controlling crane hand in martial arts, which can move objects in the air with both hands. Yu Zecheng can control objects weighing less than 20 kilograms and slowly rise into the air within the range of four feet of spiritual consciousness. If the weight exceeds this, it cannot be controlled.
The fireball technique is the most difficult to master. Yu Zecheng has practiced hard for two days, but has not made much progress. He can only form a little spark at his fingertips. It is still very difficult for him to release this fireball technique now, and it requires persistent practice to master it. But as long as he masters it, from then on, the fire rune is not so important to Yu Zecheng.
After these three magic arts were refined, Yu Zecheng observed the runes in his body and gradually made some discoveries. The runes produced by the Supreme Heavenly Dao Blood Gang Jue that he learned were shining in his Dantian, huge, and the two runes formed later, Wood and Control, were half the size of the previous ones, without any light, just like younger brothers, rotating around the runes produced by the three Blood Gang Jue.
It seems that the three spells behind are just ordinary spells, just popular goods. The spells recorded in the Blood Gang Jue are at least the secrets of the sect. For example, the Qi-Looking Technique can make oneself discover things that others cannot find, the Blood Storage Technique cannot identify the formation, and the Blood Staining Technique can destroy all mana structures. This shows the power of these magic arts. Unfortunately, all the more than 30 magic arts behind were burned, which made Yu Zecheng very distressed. The gap between these two spells is huge, so this phenomenon occurs.
After practicing these spells, three days have passed. Yu Zecheng put away the fire talisman. Now he can only release five flame shocks. The more he uses it, the less it is. It seems that he has to practice the fireball spell or collect materials to make fire talismans by himself.
But collecting materials is not easy. If he looks for them by himself, he has already wandered through the 100,000 mountains around 300 miles from Shanzhu City, and there is no material at all. If he buys them from others, he needs to pay spirit stones. Spirit stones are very important for his practice. It would be painful to give one to others.
According to the recipe introduction of the Baoyan Pill, he can offer sacrifices by himself, but the materials required are varied. According to the records on the Futu Road, they are all rare materials. Where can he find them? Otherwise, he can make a lot of money by refining the Baoyan Pill.
Some of the methods of making other magic tools and elixirs recorded in the Futu Record can be refined by himself, but he has no experience at all, and the failure rate is absolutely amazing. The most important thing is that he has nothing to refine. It would be great if there was a market, at least there is a place to buy. Now he can only watch the refining process in the Futu Record every day to satisfy his cravings and imagine the deduction process in his mind.
It has been three days since I wrote the secret letter to the Black Tiger Hall, but there has been no response, which makes Yu Zecheng very depressed. It seems that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. He can only find a way to deal with Li Yebai.
In fact, Yu Zecheng accidentally activated the invisible dark annihilation spirit consciousness transformation technique in the last battle, relying on this to kill Yang Han, but because of the generation of the demonic giant snake every night when he entered the sea of consciousness, and the various warnings recorded in the book, Yu Zecheng was subconsciously afraid of this secret immortal technique. After returning, Yu Zecheng has been deliberately avoiding the idea of practicing this immortal technique until three days later when he had to face this problem.
To practice or not to practice, this question has been lingering in his mind. Yu Zecheng once again took out the Buddha Immortal Record and looked at the font left by Miaoyu Zhenren. He was suspended in contemplation for a long time. These words are extremely agile and floating. Every time he sees these words, Yu Zecheng always has an indescribable mysterious feeling, and often looks at it for half an hour.
After appreciating the font, Yu Zecheng opened the Fu Tu Xian Lu and flipped through the pages at random, feeling the growth process of these herbal elixirs, remembering all their information, recording their collection places, their medicinal properties, and the names of their combined pills.
In this way, Yu Zecheng read page after page, and in the blink of an eye, it was already night time. Through the Fu Tu Lu, Yu Zecheng seemed to have come into contact with another world. In a few words, countless immortal mountains and dangerous places were vaguely visible. Through them, Yu Zecheng came into contact with the tip of the iceberg of the world of cultivation. How vast and magical that world is. The Fu Tu Lu gave Yu Zecheng the wings of imagination and ignited the desire in his heart.
Yu Zecheng recited the ancient poems he had seen before:
"I have heard of the Jade Pure Cave, and the golden tablet received the mysterious talisman.
I ascended to heaven early in the morning, wandering in the clouds and staying in the clouds.
At dawn, I straightened my whip and touched the stone to enter the sky.
The ancient stone altar of the immortals, moss wrapped around the green jade bureau.
The yanggui is purple in the smoke, and the yinluo is green in the water.
I heard about the alchemy classics in another world, and the hanging spring poured into the bright jade.
I was shocked by the meeting of the winged people in front, and the sky was solemn in the daytime."
Yu Zecheng was completely immersed in this feeling. He suddenly closed the Futu Lu and made up his mind. If he wanted to travel around the world and embark on the path of immortality, he must be strong, no matter what demons and evil ways, no matter what secret books of the magic sect, he must learn.
