Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 69 Meeting Huang Shuyuan Again

After selecting the medicine, you need to test the medicine.

Before accumulating enough experience in refining medicine, the only way for a novice like Lu Zhong, who can only follow the gourd to draw a ladle, to determine the true efficacy of the pill is to test the medicine.

For the step of testing the medicine, it is natural to use the topaz mouse.

After calling Huang Yushu, Lu Zhong gave it a rat-penetrating pill and began to observe the reaction.

"Very good, no vomiting, no bleeding from the nose and mouth...Well, the body is starting to have a convulsive response, and I need to write this down."

After observing for half an hour, seeing that Huang Yushu didn't look like he was going to die, he rewarded him with half a catty of boar pork and waved him away.

The whole process of drug testing does not happen overnight, and it takes a certain amount of time for the pill to take effect.

After half a month of testing and observing the medicine, Lu Zhong confirmed the efficacy of the first batch of Peishu Pill.

It worked, but not completely.

After taking the Peishu Pill for a period of time, Huang Yushu's sensitivity to spiritual energy has indeed increased, but it has not achieved the effect stated in the prescription. Secondly, after taking the medicine, the body will have short-term spasms and diarrhea for three consecutive days. side effect.

After re-refining, the diarrhea not only disappeared, but a new side effect of vomiting blood appeared.

And so on, side effects appear one after another.

After tossing and tossing for more than half a year, Lu Zhongcai finally concocted the Peishu Pill, which has an effect close to the description of the prescription, and the only side effect is drowsiness.

"It is said that the process of alchemy is ten times and a hundred times more complicated than this. I really can't imagine it!"

Thinking of Huang Yushu who was almost poisoned to death several times during the drug testing process, Lu Zhong was terrified for a while.

It's not that I feel sorry for Huang Yushu, but I feel sorry for the spirit stone I invested. If it really goes wrong, it will be a big loss.

Even refining pills is so difficult, and alchemy that involves more complex medicines and changes in aura, the difficulty is likely to increase exponentially, not to mention the various waste pills that are produced as a result, I am afraid that it is just the process of testing medicines , A large amount of spirit stones will be burned.

"No wonder it is said that alchemy is burning spirit stones!" Lu Zhong sighed for a while.

……

In the quiet room, most of the Jingshen incense from the ten spirit stones has been burned.

The function of this incense is to calm the mind and calm the mind, and it often has miraculous effects when used as a breakthrough in a small realm.

Hearing a soft sound, Lu Zhong's whole body trembled, a circle of spiritual light burst out out of thin air in the quiet room, his whole body's aura began to increase, but he opened up a meridian again, and he was one step closer to the Great Zhou.

After breaking through to the fifth level of Qi refining, the spiritual power in the body increased by [-]% again.

Opening his eyes, Lu Zhong looked happy.

"Finally broke through!"

This breakthrough time was more than two months earlier than he expected.

To be able to achieve this speed, in addition to taking alchemy and refining Qi for several years, there is also the contribution of the four spirits.The purification characteristic of spiritual power can speed up the dissolution of erysipelas, thereby shortening the cycle of taking pills.

In this way, he can break through ahead of schedule.

Feeling carefully the changes brought about by the breakthrough, Lu Zhong sat quietly for a while before pushing the door out.

At this time, Huang Yushu was already waiting outside.

After taking the medicine for more than half a year, although its body is still the size of a dirt dog, its coat color has become more shiny than before. Recently, it has begun to exude a faint monster aura, and it is not far from completely transforming into a spirit mouse.

Seeing it standing up, not knowing where to put its little hands there rubbing and rubbing, putting on a pitiful expression, Lu Zhong couldn't help laughing.

"You're not stupid. You know that the mouse pills are of great benefit to you."

With that said, he poured out two Peishu pills and fed them to Huangyushu.

……

Walking out the door, Lu Zhong went straight to a cassock shop.

He had planned to buy the vestment long ago, but he had to refine the Rat Training Pill and was distracted from the breakthrough of his cultivation a while ago, so he had to push this matter over and over again.

Now that I'm finally free, I naturally want to buy one.

Just about to enter the door, a familiar figure walked out from inside.

"Friend Lu Dao?"

Lu Zhong looked up and found that it was Huang Shuyuan.

"So it's fellow Huang Daoist, long time no see!"

At this time, her figure has grown a lot, but her cultivation has not improved much, and she is still hovering at the third level of Qi Refining.

However, his appearance became more and more beautiful, and with the cool temperament on his body, he could attract the attention of male cultivators from time to time, and some people even patronized Huang Shuyuan and accidentally bumped into the wall.

Sensing the change in Lu Zhong's breath, Huang Shuyuan was a little distracted, and said: "Unexpectedly, I haven't seen it for more than a year, and the cultivation level of fellow Taoist is already so high, it's not like me that has been standing still."

"It's just a step ahead, it's nothing." It was rare to meet an old friend, and Lu Zhong chatted, "There are opportunities everywhere in Yanling Mountain, and fellow Taoist is also a talisman maker, so it is not difficult to earn spirit stones. "

"Oh, how could it be so easy..."

Huang Shuyuan sighed and couldn't help vomit bitterness to Lu Zhong.

I used to be full of confidence when I was in Qingliufang, but when I finally arrived in Yanlingshan Fang City, I realized that even if I am a talisman maker who has mastered the skills of making talismans, it is not easy to gain a foothold here.

Not to mention the daily expenses such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., the monthly rent alone made her feel overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some savings to support him, he might not even be able to rent a house in the Sixth Ring Road at this time, so he would have to move to the Seventh Ring Road to live with those ordinary casual practitioners.

"At the end of the day, the arrow-avoiding charms here can't be sold at a price. Even if you don't eat or drink every day to make the charms with all your strength, the spirit stones you earn can only support your basic life."

No, in order to make up for this month's rent, Huang Shuyuan was forced to sell her cassock.

After hearing what happened to Huang Shuyuan, Lu Zhong felt that his decision to go with Li Dong to find the coffin fungus was really right. If he didn't master the method of making the exorcism talisman, the situation at this time would not be much better.

"There is very little news from Qingliufang here, so I don't know what's going on over there?"

Hearing this, Huang Shuyuan sighed heavily.

"Qingliufang is gone."

"What!" Lu Zhong was shocked by these words.

"Three months after Lu Daoyou moved away, Wulingmen and Qingyangmen started a full-scale war. Qingliufang changed hands several times in the fierce competition. The escape has long been reduced to ruins." Huang Shuyuan recalled the scene at that time, her body could not help trembling.

Several times she was hit by Chi Yu, but fortunately she had the foresight to buy a golden light talisman to protect her, otherwise she would have died in the flames of war in vain.

"In order to turn defeat into victory, the Qingyangmen set up a trap after capturing Qingliufang, and buried a second-level refining corpse from nowhere. The two foundation-builders and more than a hundred disciples of the Wulingmen who were lying in the middle were not spared. Now that this second-tier refined corpse is still entrenched there, no one dares to mess with it, Qingliufang has existed in name only."

After hearing this, Lu Zhong sighed for a while, but he didn't expect that Qingliufang would die like this.

"Don't talk about that, I have to go back to make talismans." Huang Shuyuan sighed again here, and asked Lu Zhong's address by the way, "By the way, I don't know where Lu Daoyou lives now, so I can pay a visit when I have time. "

After Lu Zhong told the truth and found out that she lived alone in a small courtyard on the Fourth Ring Road, Huang Shuyuan's expression became even more disappointed.

This time she didn't speak any more, she just bowed slightly and left with a lonely expression.
