Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 68 Domestication
"That... Fellow Daoist, can we go?" the old man asked cautiously.

No wonder he was so careful, Lu Zhong was a bit scary.

Not to mention that his cultivation has reached the fourth level of refining Qi, and he has also mastered many spells that can only be learned by disciples of the sect. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an ordinary casual cultivator.In case the other party really has a wrong idea, the grandpa and grandson will explain here today.

Lu Zhong didn't speak, just looked at the two with a half-smile.

It wasn't until cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the other party that he turned his hand and took out a stack of exorcism charms, and said slowly: "If what I expected is correct, there may be something wrong with this notebook? The Exorcism Talisman will be yours."

Phew, I was scared to death!

The old man was almost paralyzed just now, supported by the idea of ​​protecting his grandson.

After listening to Lu Zhong's words, he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

Five exorcising talismans are equivalent to five spirit stones.

These spirit stones are not enough to pay the "authentication fee" to enter the workshop, but they are enough for the two of them to stay outside at Luoyanji for one more year.

Thinking of this, the old man said respectfully: "Fellow daoist hiss, your eyesight is as bright as a torch. When the ancestor wrote this note, he indeed left some hidden hands in the prescription, and passed on to us a formula that turns every three to two."

Lu Zhong nodded after hearing this, and handed the other party an exorcism talisman to show that what he said was true.

After getting the exorcism talisman, the old man became even more excited, and explained: "The meaning of turning three into two means that any word 'three' in the prescription must be replaced by two, just like the prescription of this miso vine. It’s thirty renminbi, but the correct amount should be twenty renminbi.”

Does this count as encryption?

Lu Zhong couldn't help but admire the other party's ancestor, who could think of this method of encrypting the medicine.

Regardless of the simple number swap, the impact on the prescription is extremely huge.

Especially the multi-flavored elixir used in the prescription, not to mention the huge gap of ten qian in the amount after the formula is put into it, even if it is only half a qian more, it can make the medicinal effect of Peishu Wan great. Variety.

This point is related to the medicinal aura contained in the elixir.

The medicinal properties of various medicine spirits are very complicated, and different medicine spirits produce different effects. There are medicine spirits that can increase cultivation, and medicine spirits that can quickly heal the body.

There will be different reactions between the medicine and spirit energy, and the process is very complicated.

Either the effect is multiplied after fusion, or the toxicity is greatly increased or decreased.

An excessive amount of a certain medicinal material will not only be of no benefit to the final product, but may even reduce the efficacy of the medicine.

"Are there any other key points?" Lu Zhong asked slowly, and handed out another exorcism talisman.

The old man took it with both hands, looked at the authenticity, and said with a wry smile: "One formula is enough, the more information is concealed, the more complicated it is, and the possibility of being lost is naturally greater. Such a crucial key, of course, The less the simpler the better."

Seeing that what he said did not seem to be false, Lu Zhong promised to hand over the remaining exorcism talisman to the other party.

After accepting the talisman, the father and father thanked each other and left.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and confirming that the other party had really left, he turned around and prepared to take Huang Yushu away.

Regarding the domestication of the yellow jade mouse, before it has transformed into a monster, it cannot sign a contract yet, and can only be disciplined by carrots and sticks.The slave contract can only be signed after it transforms into a spirit mouse.

Since monks in the Qi refining period cannot release their spiritual consciousness, they need to purchase a special contract for this step.

Lu Zhong did the math and found that raising a spirit beast is not an easy task.

"If you take this topaz mouse, you will not only have to spend money to buy a slave bond, but in order to obtain better talents for it, you will also need to prepare rat training pills. The spirit beast bag is also very valuable."

Calculated, at least it is nearly two hundred spirit stones.

But if you pay, you will get something. If you can really breed a spirit mouse, then his income will be amazing. Even if you sell it to a buying store, it will bring you a considerable amount of spirit stone income.

In the cave, Huang Yushu hid in a corner, and was still trembling when he saw Lu Zhong.

It wasn't that it didn't want to dig a hole to escape, but that the Qingshuang sword was always on its neck, and the slightest movement would kill the mouse.

"Did you come in by yourself, and then provide food and shelter, or wait for me to knock you out and stuff it in?" Lu Zhong took out a big bag, and said viciously to Huang Yushu in the corner.

Seeing Huang Yushu not moving, he repeated it again.

Still motionless.

"Strange, is it because it wants to die rather than submit? It seems that we can only have extra meals at night..." Lu Zhong said to himself.

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Huang Yushu cautiously stretched out a paw, pointing to the Qingshuang Sword on his neck, his small eyes were full of grievances, tears were streaming down his face.

The mouse-browed and mouse-eyed expression seemed to be saying, it's not that I don't want to get into the bag, it's the uncle, you have to move the sword away first!
Realizing this, Lu Zhong quickly moved the Qingshuang Sword away.

After a few strokes, Huang Yushu crawled into the pocket without hesitation, and shrank into a ball obediently.

……

There was no surprise or danger along the way, and Lu Zhong returned to the bamboo forest courtyard smoothly.

With the white cloud shield that is always open, he is not afraid that the topaz rats released will dig holes and escape. After all, the formation shields are all spherical, and the underground is also within the protection range, so as to prevent the enemy from digging holes or sneaking in. possible.

Lu Zhong designated an activity area for Huang Yushu and let it live there in the future.

Then there's the rules, he's not interested in being a shit shoveler.

A "nice" exchange.

I have to say that although this topaz mouse has soft bones and is not very courageous, it is still quite spiritual.

At least, it can understand what Lu Zhong means.

After a meal of carrots and sticks, the topaz mouse knew where to defecate and how to dig its own nest, and even seemed to understand when to eat every day.

……

for the rest of the time.

Lu Zhong began to study the refining of Peishu pill.

Prescriptions are listed by the emperor, ministers and assistant envoys.

The monarch medicine is Qixinghua two qian, and taking it can make the spiritual sense more acute; the ministerial medicine has two flavors, namely [-]-qian Seto Miteng and eight-qian Lingsong Bark, both of which can enhance the medicinal effect of Qixinghua; The medicine is a thousand xinzi and zeolite two qian, which are used to reduce and calm the toxicity of the medicine for monarchs and ministers;

If you want to refine medicine, you need a medicine kettle.

Medicine cauldrons usually have three legs and two ears, similar in appearance to danding, which can be used to refine medicine.

The preparation of Peishu Pills can only be described as painstaking. During the process, not only the medicinal materials need to be cooked repeatedly, but also the heat should be carefully controlled to prevent the medicinal properties from changing or being lost.

It takes a lot of time to come down over and over again.

It took Lu Zhong three days to refine five pots of medicine before finally making one pot.Then mix the refined liquid medicine with honey flour and knead it into pills.

A total of one hundred and three pills were obtained.

After kneading the liquid medicine into pills, it is necessary to refer to the instructions of the prescription to select the medicine.

The purpose of drug selection is to select those unqualified pills.

This step is much easier to do because he has learned the hopeful qi technique. He only needs to distinguish the color of the medicinal aura of the pills, and then he can pick out the pills that do not contain the medicinal aura, or the color of the aura is obviously wrong.

After careful selection, there were only thirteen Peishu pills in the end.
