Wandering

Chapter 94 A Handful of Immortal Blood

Most of the furnishings in the living room are pine furniture, the style is very simple, but not rough, it looks very simple and elegant.The Eight Immortals table and chairs are placed in the main hall, and in the middle hall is a picture of Lao Tzu going out of customs with the four characters "Zi Qi Dong Lai".I sat down with the Danxia couple in the living room, but I didn't see their child. It is said that they are recuperating in the backyard and are too weak to meet guests.

Dan Xiasheng insisted that his wife prepare food and wine to treat me well. It is not a common favor to go up the mountain to deliver medicine during Chinese New Year.I reasoned that I was practicing bigu, so there was no need to bother.Dan Xiasheng heard that I was fasting, so he only smiled and asked: "Then it's okay to have a cup of tea? Ma'am, make tea."

When you open the celadon tureen, you can see tender green shoots standing in the yellowish amber tea water.Take a sip, the fragrance will fill your teeth, and it is also a rare good tea.I asked, "Sister-in-law, what kind of tea is this?"

Mrs. Danxia: "This is Huangshan Maofeng. I picked it myself in this mountain. My husband's senior brother likes it the most."

"Master Dan is really good at tasting tea, that's how we got to know each other. I opened a tea room in Wucheng, and he came the second day after it opened. It was from him that I heard about your husband and wife. I need vermilion fruits, so I sent them specially, I don’t know if these four vermilion fruits are enough, if not, I still have more.”

This was originally a polite remark. I heard that they needed thirteen pieces, but they have already found ten pieces. There are only three pieces missing, and I specially sent an extra one.Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, the expressions of these two people were very excited. Dan Xiasheng almost grabbed my arm and asked: "Shi Zhenzhen, are you serious? Do you have any more? We still need one."

"There is still one missing! Didn't Master Fan say that there are only three missing?" I also told the truth unexpectedly.

Dan Xiasheng sighed and said: "Originally there were only three missing, but recently two vermilion fruits have been preserved for too long and have lost their medicinal properties..."

Dan Xiasheng explained the whole story.It turns out that after the vermilion fruit is ripe, it can hang on the branches for a year. If it is picked by someone after a year, it will fall to the ground and gradually turn into dust.If it is picked and placed in a jade box, it will not rot for three years, but after three years it will gradually shrink and lose its medicinal properties.Among the red fruits obtained by Danxiasheng and his wife, two were from three years ago.In order to maintain the medicinal properties of vermilion fruit, it needs to be refined into pills.But the refining of this pill is very difficult, not every time it can be successful, Dan Xiasheng hesitated, and lost two vermilion fruits.

When I heard this, my mind moved. Dan Xiasheng said that he used vermillion fruit to make pills, which should be referring to the unique "Longshou Pill" that Han Ziying refined for me.I gave Ziying five vermilion fruits, and Ziying made five dragon head pills, one was stolen by Axiu and tricked me into eating it, and the other one was taken after I fought with Qiye, and now there are still I have three of them with me.Thinking of this, I took out a small bottle from my body, poured out the red pill and put it on the table and said, "The elixir mentioned by Daoist Danxia is this kind of Dragon Head Pill, can it be used instead of Zhu Guo?"

"Oh my god, it's really Dragon Head Pill! Okay, of course, add two more Dragon Head Pills, and the medicine will be complete! ——God, Shi Zhenren is really my husband and wife. How can we thank you? ?”

"Take it and use it. No need to thank you. Now that the medicine is ready, I wish you and your wife can refine the Nine-Turn Purple Golden Pill as soon as possible. Actually, I also have a big request."

Danxia and his wife said in unison: "What's the matter with Master Shi? Just ask."

I sighed, looked at them and said, "I want to tell you a story..." Then, I slowly told about Liu Fei'er.After the couple finished listening, they also remained silent for a long time.Mrs. Danxia is a woman, she is most likely to be moved by such things, she has been tearful recently.Seeing that Dan Xiasheng didn't speak, she stabbed her husband and said: "Husband, the medicine is ready, you have to try it anyway, save our child, and save that poor woman."

Dan Xiasheng also sighed: "The medicine is ready, but the medicine is still missing. Without the medicine, it is too difficult to succeed in this batch of medicine! If it doesn't work, it's impossible to start all over again and find all the medicines." .”

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "Fellow Daoist Danxia, ​​what exactly is that blind medicine? You tell me, let's find it together."

Dan Xiasheng stroked her forehead with her hands: "It's useless to say it, it's something that doesn't exist in the world."

"What exactly is it? As long as it has a name, we can find a way to find it, regardless of whether it exists or not."

At this time, Mrs. Danxia walked up to her husband, put her hand gently on his shoulder, and said softly: "No matter what the fate is, we husband and wife will do our best. This real stone can take out four vermilion fruits at a time. It's a miracle, taking out three more Dragon Head Pills is simply shocking, maybe he will have a way.... Shi Zhenzhen, that blind medicine is—the blood of a thousand-year-old immortal."

"Thousand-year fairy blood!"

Dan Xiasheng: "That's right, it's this thing. Where can we find it? There is no immortal in this world who has practiced for thousands of years."

"Isn't learning alchemy also for cultivating immortals? I heard that if you break through the final realm of alchemy, you can ascend to immortality. Has no one succeeded?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Our husband and wife are not only practitioners, but also modern people. We have also read books and understand the truth. This is a logical paradox. Immortal blood does not exist theoretically."

Mrs. Danxia also added: "We haven't seen anyone become immortal, but there are legends. It is said that the Yellow Emperor ascended to immortality on this mountain 5000 years ago. Even if it is true, there is no one in the world Immortals do not exist. Because once a person becomes an immortal, he will fly away. Ordinary people don’t know where he goes, and we practitioners actually don’t know either. Since this is the world, there is no blood of immortals.”

Dan Xiasheng raised his head and said, "Renren Shi, we know that you and Senior Shouzheng have a relationship as a teacher and apprentice, so the background and knowledge are of course extraordinary. The words just now were actually told by the real Shouzheng to our husband and wife."

"Have you met Senior Shouzheng? What did he say?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Two years ago, we went to Wucheng and entrusted the children to Zhengyimen and Xi to take care of them. Our husband and wife went to Feijinfeng to collect medicine. Later, we went back to Zhengyimen to visit Master Shouzheng. Immortal blood does not exist in our world."

"Didn't Shouzheng say anything else?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Yes, he said that there is one thing in the world that can replace it."

"what?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Thousand-year spiritual blood."

"What does the thousand-year spiritual blood refer to?"

Mrs. Danxia: "It is the blood of the thousand-year spirit. If a practitioner has practiced for thousands of years, his blood is enough. If he is not a person, no matter what monster or spirit, as long as he can realize the Tao and practice on his own, he will have a thousand-year cultivation base." Mana, then its blood is also fine."

"Then it is possible to find the thousand-year-old spiritual blood."

Mrs. Danxia: "This kind of thing does exist in the world. Both our husband and wife have personally encountered it. Back then, I fought with a 1000-year-old monster and was seriously injured. If my husband didn't save me, I'm afraid I would have died."

"Then why don't you go find that monster?"

Dan Xiasheng: "The thousand-year-old monster was removed by my husband and wife together. Where else can I find it? Think about it, this is also cause and effect. If the monster didn't hurt my wife, my child would not have the disease brought by the mother's womb. But it needs to be refined. Nine-turn Purple Golden Pill actually requires thousand-year spiritual blood."

"Then can you find another thousand-year-old demon spirit?"

Dan Xiasheng: "The practice of animals, plants and trees is different from that of human beings. It depends on the fortune of heaven and earth. Thousand-year-old spirits are very rare in the world. Even if you spend your whole life looking for them, you may not be able to meet them. Moreover, this Nine-turn Zijin Pill has a replacement furnace. If the monsters in the world know about its efficacy, they will probably gang up and fight over it, how can my husband and I refine the medicine safely?"

When Dan Xiasheng said this, I couldn't help asking again: "Isn't it the blood of a thousand years? I heard that some animals, such as some tortoises, have a long lifespan and can live for hundreds of years, maybe even a thousand years." .”

Mrs. Danxia: "If only it were that simple. My husband and I found the thousand-year-old tortoise, but its blood is not the thousand-year spiritual blood. Ordinary blood is not acceptable, it must be cultivated for thousands of years, no matter human or animal, it must be cultivated." .”

"Then can the grass and trees be okay?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Grass? There are many thousand-year-old pines in Huangshan Mountain, but do the plants have blood? The blood of plants is actually the cup of tea we drink, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Unless this kind of spiritual energy gathered from mountains and rivers has become an elf, practiced for more than a thousand years, turned into a human form, and obtained a human body by chance, then there can also be a thousand years of spiritual blood."

"How many thousand years of spiritual blood do you need to refine a furnace of nine-turn purple golden pill?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Why did you ask so carefully? Can you find it?"

"Don't ask me if I can find it, tell me how much thousand-year-old spiritual blood is needed?" I asked because I thought of a person, this person is Luxue in Zhaoting Mountain, and she is the thousand-year-old elf in human form.Dan Xiasheng said that this kind of elf needs to get a human body. I don't know if Luxue has a human body, but I know someone must have a way for her to get a human body.Feng Junzi once recited the "Book of Heaven" "Transformation Chapter" in the mountain temple, and Sister Ziying and Axiu got human bodies.But I want to ask clearly how much blood is used. If too much is used, it may not be possible to kill demon spirits to obtain blood.

Mrs. Danxia: "Not much, just a cup."

"What size cup?"

Dan Xiasheng looked at me with intense doubts in his eyes.Mrs. Danxia went to the back hall and took out a palm-sized bottle, put it on the table and said, "Take the thousand-year-old spiritual blood and fill this cold dew jade purification bottle, and that's it."

Looking at this bottle, I was relieved, not much, only about 300CC, which can be donated by one person, and will not endanger life.I brought the bottle over: "Since this is the case, I think I can help you find it. I have a friend who knows a millennium elf, and they have a very good relationship. I will ask him now."

The Danxia couple didn't speak, but there was ecstasy in their eyes, and they clasped their hands tightly.I have already thought of Luxue, so I have to go back quickly to ask Mr. Feng, not wanting to delay any longer, I stood up and said: "You guys prepare slowly, before it's too late, I'll go back and do it right away."

"Shi Zhenzhen, don't worry... there is one more thing..." Danxia and his wife stopped me, seeing that their expressions were no longer ecstasy, but rather difficult, as if there was something unspeakable.

"What else is there?"

Mrs. Danxia looked at her husband, and asked with a complicated expression: "Husband, we should make everything clear, do we need to tell him?"

Dan Xiasheng sighed again: "Madam, it's better for you to speak, we should make it clear."

Mrs. Danxia waved at me and said, "Shi Zhenren, please sit down, I will tell you the details of refining the Nine-Turn Zijin Pill."

"Please tell me if you have something to say, is there anything else important?"

Mrs. Danxia: "It is very difficult to refine this kind of elixir. Even if the medicinal materials and medicine primers are all prepared, it may not be successful."

"I know that too, everyone is just trying their best."

Mrs. Danxia: "Not only that, do you know the difference between immortal blood and thousand-year spiritual blood?"

"What's the difference?"

Mrs. Danxia: "If you get the thousand-year-old immortal blood as medicine, you can make nine pills according to the Xuanyuan School's ancient prescriptions. But if you use the thousand-year-old spiritual blood instead, I'm afraid you can only make one pill."

"Is this true? Couldn't it be one more?" I was already full of joy, but Mrs. Danxia's words poured me out from inside to outside like a pot of cold water!If there is only one pill, their children will of course have to use it, so what about Liu Fei'er?I spent so much effort to find this place, and I had to think of ways to beg for Luxue's thousand-year-old spiritual blood, but in the end it was nothing but joy.

Dan Xiasheng replied: "The Millennium Spiritual Blood has insufficient medicinal properties. Theoretically speaking, if it becomes a pill, the number of pills will also be insufficient. One pill is the most likely, and I don't know if I can make one more pill."

"Is there no other way to think of it?"

Dan Xiasheng: "Actually, I haven't seen anyone who has actually refined the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill. I'm not sure how many pills will be made. All this is just speculation based on the pill formula."

Dan Xiasheng kept her head down when she spoke, while Mrs. Dan Xia looked at me with pitiful and begging eyes.I understand what they mean, and I know that there is a thousand years of spiritual blood, which can make alchemy to save their son.But the millennium spirit blood has to be entrusted to me to find it. The purpose of my search is to save another person through alchemy. If I don't get the elixir, they are afraid that I will not come to help again.what should I do?God, what am I supposed to do?

I looked at them and said, "Listen to the fate and do your best. Don't worry, I will help you find a thousand-year-old spiritual blood. If God only has one pill, you can use it for your children. If you are lucky enough to get two pills, please give me your blood." I have one."
