Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 54 Swallowing sword pills, half life and death!
After a night of thinking, Su Yi finally decided to refine the sword pill.

Because this is currently the most reliable way for him to quickly improve his strength.

After dawn, he first practiced the "Tianyan Dao Sutra" as usual. No matter when, improving his own cultivation is the first priority.

Another thing is that practice is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.

If you slack off for one day, it seems that you have only delayed one day, but the difference between one plus and one minus is actually the number of two days. If things go on like this, the gap will naturally become larger and larger.

After practicing the daily exercises and techniques as usual, Su Yi rarely had lunch with everyone.

During the dinner, Su Yi told Huzi and Song Qian not to be affected by yesterday's events and to do whatever they should.

Regarding this issue, he and Shao Juan also discussed it last night.

Not long after Huzi ran away, something like this happened, which made Shao Juan very sad.

Thinking that her late husband was like this and her son is like this now, Shao Juan couldn't help but shed tears.

She felt guilty that she had failed to teach her son well, and she was also worried that Huzi would go astray. This time, she discovered it early and barely calmed down. What should she do if it caused a bigger trouble next time?
She also felt guilty towards Su Yi. As one of them, how could she not be aware of how Su Yi had treated their mother and son over the years? Without Su Yi, how could they, mother and son, have lived peacefully to this day.

This time when Hu Zi had an accident, it was Su Yi who took the "crime" and caused him to lose his freedom!
After sharing the same bed for many years, Shao Juan knew that Su Yi's personality was somewhat withdrawn, and the last thing she wanted to do was to be burdened with "errands".

Su Yi's behavior this time made Shao Juan feel deeply that even if she could say a thousand words of thanks, it would be difficult to express her gratitude.

She originally wanted to make some compensation, but Su Yi was not very interested last night. Fortunately, she did not neglect her in the end.

Afterwards, Shao Juan talked about what she was thinking, and according to her wishes, she was still responsible for matters such as delivering elixirs, while Hu Zi simply stayed in the courtyard to practice honestly.

Of course she said this not because she felt sorry for her son, but because she was afraid that he would be tired. She was really afraid that his son would cause some trouble again.

Thinking back to that time, her late husband, who was not much older than her son, excitedly told her to take charge of her own business and not let her suffer anymore, and let him go out to make money to support the family. However, it didn't take long for her late husband to go astray and the family was ruined.

Now her son is like this again... When she thinks of this, she trembles all over. Instead of doing this, she would rather work harder and spend less time practicing.

Su Yi has a different view on this.

He believes that the children have been protected too much. They have never seen the colorful world outside and do not know the sinister people in the outside world, so they will inevitably be dazzled.

Keeping them in a circle is not the answer. We can only let them practice more in the future. After all, they cannot live in the courtyard forever without leaving.

After hearing what Su Yi said, Shao Juan was still a little worried, but she was finally convinced by Su Yi.

After Huzi experienced this incident, he became much more honest, and his attitude towards Su Yi also changed somewhat.

After the meal, Su Yi, Song Qian and Hu Zi refined several batches of elixirs together before Shi Shiran walked out of the house.

Divine Machine Pavilion.

Shen Mo was drinking tea alone when he saw Su Yi walking in.

The city is so big, the news of Su Yi joining the law enforcement team spread overnight, and Shen Mo naturally heard about it.

However, Shen Mo did not ask Su Yi why he joined the law enforcement team, but just motioned for him to sit down and drink tea.

Su Yi had something on his mind. In the past, the tea tasted full of mellow fragrance, but today it tasted bitter.

After drinking for a long time, Su Yi finally decided to speak.

"Mr. Shen, Su Yi feels that he is in a crisis. He comes here to ask for help from Mr. Shen!"

Even though Su Yi was naturally cheeky, it took a lot of energy for him to speak this time.

If the "whirlpool" really existed, his trip would probably drag Shen Mo into the whirlpool.Putting people in danger can't be solved by saying "I'm sorry" afterwards, and it also reveals Su Yi's selfish side.

There is a saying, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Shen Mo's experience is rich enough. If he wants, he can reject Su Yi at this moment and prevent him from saying the following words.

But, he didn't do that.

He just said lightly: "Dangerous situation? Is there a way to break it?"

Su Yi now feels more and more that Shen Mo is a real "old Jianghu", always looking calm and calm.

He shook his head, "I can't call it a solution for the moment. I can only say that I want to make some preparations in advance."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Now that things have happened, Su Yi has revealed everything in his heart.

"Does Mr. Shen know about 'Jianwan'?"

Shen Mo said nothing and nodded.

Su Yi was not surprised that Shen Mo knew about Jian Wan, because Jian Wan came from the same source for both alchemy weapons. After all, Jian Wan used weapon refining techniques and materials to make "alchemy".

"Do you want to refine sword pills for self-protection?" Shen Mo asked calmly after taking a sip of tea and swallowing it.

"Yes, Mr. Shen, that's what I think. It's just that my ability is limited right now and I can't refine the sword pills on my own, so I want to ask sir to help me."

Shen Mo did not immediately answer whether to help or not, but asked another question.

"Su Yi, do you know why Jianwan, a cultivation method that can increase a monk's strength and even kill enemies across levels, has not spread on a large scale?"

"This..." Su Yi shook his head. There was no record of this in the "Song Family Alchemy Book".

Seeing that Su Yi didn't know, Shen Mo continued: "In order to attack the enemy through the sword pill, the sword energy stored in it must flow through the meridians along with the mana."

"In other words, if you want to use sword pills to attack the enemy, first of all, your own meridians must be able to withstand the cutting of the sword energy. The sword energy crisscrosses the body, which is something that ordinary monks cannot bear."

"So there was a saying in the past, 'Those who swallow sword pills will be half alive'. It can be said that if you want to hurt the enemy, you must hurt yourself first."

Shen Mo stopped here. He would only explain everything, but he would not make a decision for Su Yi.

How to choose, whether to adopt the method of refining sword pills to quickly improve his strength, is Su Yi's own choice.

Su Yi really didn't know that Jianwan had such drawbacks until he heard Shen Mo's words.

In fact, as a time traveler and as someone who has lived in the world of technology, he has despised this world more than once.

That inexplicable sense of superiority, I always feel like this is a barbaric place where people drink blood. After being baptized by big data, I can easily crush this world in terms of IQ.

But the facts hit him in the face time and time again.

Just like this time I was considering whether to use the method of refining sword pills to quickly increase my strength.

The shortcut he thought he had found was actually a choice that his predecessors had long given up on.

For a moment, Su Yi fell into confusion, holding the tea in his hand and staring blankly.
