fairy cage

Chapter 137
In the quiet room of the Medicine Prescription Hall, many medicinal materials that have been processed are placed in different categories, and the rest of the columns walk among them, looking at them carefully.

He held the piece of parchment given by the old beggar in his hand, thinking about something.

In the end, Yu Lie took four kinds of medicinal materials from the many medicinal materials and put them in the place where he usually took notes and organized records.

These four kinds of medicinal materials are a worm in a glass bottle, an unknown seed sealed in wax, a dried lizard and ground dragon, and a piece of animal skin that has been completely peeled off.

Yu Lie sat cross-legged in front of the table, his eyes were hesitating between these four things.

What he is hesitating about is precisely about his own blood vessel, which genre to choose, or which path to choose.

According to the records in the alchemy notes given by the old beggar, the natal blood vessel is not only suitable for people in alchemy, but suitable for all people who practice today.

Because this thing is the key to the reason why today's immortals can eat thousands of meals, eat monsters, absorb their talents and turn them into spells!
Take the most noble talisman in the world of mountains and seas as an example. The natal utensils of that generation are often a talisman, or a jade slip, or a book. thing as form.

But no matter what, the function of these natal instruments is actually to facilitate Taoists to record the runes and spells they have obtained, and they are carriers for recording information.

Those who have truly entered the Dao of Talisman need to visualize this natal blood vessel in their souls. The methods of congealing the visualization are different, and there are many inheritances.

But its general function is roughly the same, that is, it can assist the people in the talisman to extract the soul of the monster, put it into the body, avoid backlash, and then remove the dross, manifest talents, etc., so that the Taoist can comprehend new spells.

If such natal artifacts cannot be condensed through visualization, people in the Talisman Way who want to obtain spells can only copy them according to the ancient books of exercises. It is difficult and obscure to imitate one by one, and there is no ability to innovate.

And if there is no assistance from natal artifacts, and if you insist on absorbing the demon into your soul, your temperament will change drastically, your soul will be exhausted, and even your body will explode and you will die directly.

It is rumored that in the history of the world of mountains and seas, the first natal talisman in the true sense has an alias called "Fengshen Bang".

This object was made by the emperor who held the heavens in the ancient times. It was conceived and refined by himself. Its power has reached the point where it can imprison immortals and gods, and plunder their magical powers for their own use. This opened the "supernatural powers are not enough for Tao" In the age of Immortal Dao, the Immortal Dao in the Mountain and Sea Realm embarked on a path that was completely different from the ancient ones.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Dao has become the most noble path in the mountain and sea world.

Because it not only has a great background, but in addition to the closely related Dao of Formation, it has also expanded the Dao of spells. It has extremely high requirements for the talents of the practitioners. Just visualizing and condensing the natal talisman in the mind is enough. Swipe down the threshold of [-]% of Taoists.

It was not until alchemy and weapon refining, the two cultivation skills that can be compared with talisman arrays, that they changed their appearance and matured, and became alchemy and tool dao, which in turn nourished the talisman Tao, lowered the threshold for condensing natal talismans.

In the era that Yu Lie lives in now, apart from relying solely on self-contemplation and condensing natal talismans in the soul, people in the talisman way can also first refine a specific utensil outside, warm and nourish it carefully, and transform it As a natal talisman.

Such natal talismans refined outside of the soul can also allow Taoists to formally embark on the way of talismans.

It's just that the power and efficacy of the natal talisman outside the body is far less mysterious than the natal talisman inside the body.

This kind of people who rely on foreign objects to enter the Tao, the overall potential is far inferior to the real genius, and they are despised as the muddy current in the talisman Tao.

Of course, even if it is the turbid current in the Talisman Dao, that generation is also a person in the immortal way who has embarked on the diet and health preservation, and has the potential of immortality and ascension.

Compared with this kind, there are actually many Taoists who are more parallel in the world of mountains and seas. Those generations rely on the nourishment of today's immortal way, do not cultivate or cannot cultivate things of their own destiny, and want to obtain magic tools, medicines, and spells. Going to buy pills and talismans refined by real people in the immortal way, the mana may be acceptable, but it will not help the development of the immortal way too much.

Its biggest role may be to consume the items refined by real immortals, to promote the consumption and circulation of immortal items, and to be the object of testing medicine and equipment.

The above things are the most precious and key knowledge in the old beggar's notes.

Before getting this notebook, Yu Lie didn't know the twists and turns in it at all.

He also thought that as long as he became an eighth-rank Taoist and cultivated his true qi, he could slaughter monsters, take their essence and eat them, and help him practice spells.

Yu Lie even recalled what he had seen and heard in the family, and found that he had never seen this knowledge point when he was in the family, but it seemed that the family also paid special attention to the cultivation of the Taoist stage.

The big and small families in Qianjun strictly forbid the Daoist in the clan to spend too much energy learning fist and foot weapons in the ninth-rank period, but remind the clansmen to choose a cultivation skill as early as possible, and it is best to use the three ways of talisman weapon One, study hard.

This is also a major reason why Yu Lie has not practiced any boxing equipment since he practiced Taoism, and he has always wanted to make progress in alchemy.

Now that he understood the contents of Dan Dao's notes, he suddenly became cheerful.

For a small eighth-rank family such as the Yu family, those generations may not be considered true immortals, and there is not much potential to become a sixth-rank Taoist priest, but with the experience and mentions of their predecessors, they are also very good. Clearly, if you want to have a broad path, you must have a solid foundation and master a skill of self-cultivation.

Among Taoists, although mana is used to judge superiority and inferiority, the root of mana comes from the understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.

The mana in the Taoist stage is nothing at all, what is really important is to cultivate the body and master the entry of skills.

This is also a major reason why Yu Lie came to Heishui Town.

Because Heishui Town is a "comprehension technical school", he has the greatest chance of acquiring a cultivation skill when he comes here.

In the quiet room.

Yu Lie looked at the four things in front of him, and continued to struggle and think about how to choose his future direction of immortality.

Although he has already stepped into the gate of alchemy with half his foot, only when he chooses the form of the natal blood vessel and refines it, can he step in with another foot and really step in.

This is a bit similar to the situation when he chose one of the three alchemy methods of vegetation, gold and stone, and flesh and blood as a starting point, but the impact on the future will be more profound.

Because the natal talisman of Dan Dao is quite different from the natal talisman of Fu Dao. The latter has only one form. The difference between the natal talismans of people in the clear stream and the turbid stream is just that they are superior in quality, function and scope. They're all about the same.

But Dan Dao, which form he chooses, will have a great impact on the scope of his future research.Although it is not static, there is still a lot of room for change and improvement, but this impact is often calculated over a hundred years.

100 years, for Yu Lie now, is more than two lifetimes.

In front of the table, his eyes continued to wander among the four things, and then fell on the first one, the nematodes in the glass bottle.

Yu Lie thought to himself: "Why don't you choose the first one, as the natal blood vessel sacrifice? It just so happens that the old man uses this thing. If you choose it, you can ask for more advice in the future."

The nematodes in the glass bottle are not ordinary insects, but a raw material for refining Gu worms, called blood-nourishing amoebas.

What this thing represents is the Gu Dao in the Alchemy Dao, it can also be said to be the Insect Dao.

The natal blood vessels refined by Taoists from this material have several clearer names: natal Gu worms, companion worms, parasites, and so on.

Yu Liebaid's teacher, based on blood-nourished amoebas, meticulously raised and refined natal Gu worms.

If he also chooses this thing as his natal object, when he slaughters monsters and plunders spells in the future, he can parasitize the split natal Gu worms in the body of monsters and steal talents and spells from living monsters.

The more spells one masters, the more types of Gu worms that can be changed into different purposes will be accompanied by the remaining Gu worms.

For example, the sleepy bug and fire bug that Yu Lie got from the old beggar are essentially a spell given by the other party. Holding this Gu bug is like holding a spell.

It's just not much different from people in Fu Dao who can use true energy to manifest spells. People in Gu Dao rely on raising various Gu insects and rely on them to cast spells.

If there is no corresponding Gu worm on the body, or if it is temporarily consumed, the types of spells that can be cast will be greatly reduced.

It has to be said that such a method of casting spells is a bit different from Yu Lie's imagination. It is quite strange to use insects as spells and raise insects into the body.

After thinking about it, Yu Lie looked at the second item on the table.

The second item represents the replacement of the natal object with the seed of a plant. In Dan Dao's notes, this object is called the "spore seed" natal.

After refining this thing, it can bear all kinds of seeds, grow all kinds of strange plants, cast spells with plants, and grow piranhas, bloodthirsty grasses, killing trees and so on.

Yu Lie only glanced at the "spore species", and then looked at the third item - the dragon stem of the lizard, which represented the way of dragon veins in the alchemy.

In the world of mountains and seas, all things with slippery scales, even all flesh and blood, have dragon veins in their bodies.

Dragons, such as snake body, antlers, fish tail, and ox ears, are the embodiment of all things. This way is to accumulate dragon blood. You can first implant a kind of dragon vein flesh with obvious dragon blood. On this basis, develop dragon veins. .

The specific method of practicing spells is to pick the limbs and organs of monsters and transplant them.Whenever the dragon's blood in the body becomes stronger and the appearance of a real dragon is completed, the spells he masters will also increase.

This path is very popular in the world of mountains and seas, because although it involves alchemy, Taoists can not only pick their own limbs and organs and transplant them to themselves, but they can also help other people or invite others to complete it.

It's just that those who rely solely on other people to cultivate the dragon's veins are not considered as true dragon's veins people.

These three types are Gu worms, spore species, and dragon veins.

It is roughly the three natal blood vessels mentioned in Dan Dao's notes.Except for the second one which is closely related to the grass-wood pill method, the rest of the other two can actually be chosen.

If he chooses Gu worms, he can ask the old beggar a lot.Choosing the dragon vein, the alchemy he is currently best at is the flesh and blood alchemy, and the success rate of self-refining and implanting will undoubtedly be the highest.

But by chance, Yu Lie selected the fourth one from the few natal things mentioned in the notes, in addition to the above three.

The fourth type is a piece of animal skin that Yu Lie spread out on the table.

This kind of natal blood vessel has the titles of painting skin, peeling skin, leather making, etc. Yu Lie personally thinks that the title "shadow puppetry" is the most suitable among them.

It's just that this "shadow puppet" is different from the shadow puppet used by ordinary children to play tricks.

It is the way of alchemy to refine the things of life. After being introduced into the talisman, the people in the talisman researched the paper way, and used paper figurines, paper horses and other things as the means of casting spells, and the paper way was introduced into the alchemy again. in the way.

The alchemists refer to the paper way, and simply peel the monsters to make molds, refine them into flesh and blood, and use them as their own destiny.

The natal object of Dao of Shadow Puppetry is also closer in shape to Talisman Dao. It is a book, a book with the Taoist's own membrane as the cover.

Every time a monster's skin is peeled off, one more page and one more spell can be added to the natal book.It's just that the leather paper is easily damaged and has a limited number of years. It must be replaced when it becomes rotten. It is not as simple and expensive as the book of talismans.

Yu Lie's gaze fell on the fourth shadow puppet after skipping the first three types of Gu worms, spores and dragon veins, and he couldn't move away for a long time.

Although the natal spell obtained from eating the black snake fish probably originated from the spleen in the body, the effect of this spell is precisely to make Yu Lie have an extra layer of skin.

The first step in refining the book of shadow puppetry, or the book of skinning, is to peel off the skin on your body first, the more complete the better, because the skin book refined from this has the highest success rate, and In the future, the "vellum" that has been included in books can be imprisoned to the greatest extent, and it can be manipulated as a technique.

It is precisely this first step, which is the biggest difficulty for alchemists to practice the Pi Dao.

Because people can be shameless, but like trees, they can't be shameless.

Losing all the skin membranes on the body surface, even the physique after cutting hair and washing the marrow, or even the physique of an eighth-rank Taoist, can't bear it all.

According to what is mentioned in the notes, a special spiritual liquid must be prepared in advance. After the skin is peeled, the Taoist is soaked in the coffin, so that the person can continue to survive for many days without the skin membrane until the leather book is refined. become.

But this psychic liquid is not something that Yu Lie can refine now. He just worshiped the old beggar as his teacher, and the other party asked him to refine his own things, and he would not assist him in refining the psychic liquid at all.

Fortunately, Yu Lie now has a natal spell, and a black membrane can appear on the surface of his body. If he peels off his own human skin and uses the black membrane to maintain himself, it is very likely that he will continue to survive.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the table, Yu Lie knocked on the table, calculating carefully.

His eyes flickered.

Although Pi Dao's technique is undoubtedly more ferocious and weird compared to the first three, its novelty is also rare in the current mountain and sea world, and it is also somewhat related to Talisman Dao, which seems to have a bright future. broad……

Yu Lie calculated:

"Gu worms, spores, dragon veins, shadow puppets..."

Over the past few days, he has rummaged through boxes and cabinets, done a lot of pondering and experiments, and his mind has become more and more clear.
