Journey to the Nine Mysteries [Rebirth]

Chapter 13

When Jingyuan came back to his senses, he had already arrived at a place that looked like a fairy, and in front of him was a bamboo forest in the mist, and there was a stream of water passing by.

Walking backwards along the flowing water, Jingyuan heard a loud noise in front of him, until he turned a corner, and suddenly a tall waterfall appeared in front of him, so that people couldn't see the end of it, only the water flew down into the air.

Jingyuan walked around the bamboo forest beside the waterfall. When he felt the sound of the waterfall getting quieter, he saw a bamboo house appearing in front of him. He thought this was probably the house the master had mentioned.

Pushing open the door, there are only some simple furniture such as tables in the bamboo house, and it seems that no one has been here for a long time.Walking into the bedroom, there was only a bed made of bamboo with old bedding on it.

After observing for a while, I probably realized that it was true that no one lived here for a long time, so I was relieved.It was only then that Jingyuan realized that the master who always liked to hit him hadn't made a sound at all.

Jingyuan asked a little worriedly: "Master, are you okay?"

But after asking, there was no reply at all, so he panicked and entered Bai Zhiyu's house directly.Seeing Yu Jieqing sitting desolately on the rock alone, looking sadly at the main body next to him.

Jingyuan walked over gently and called: "Master."

Yu Jieqing just came back to his senses, but there was still a complicated look in his eyes, Jingyuan couldn't tell what happened, but he could feel a depressive atmosphere in the surrounding air.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just thought about something from the past. Alas, people always think about things when they get old." Yu Jieqing smiled lightly.

But Jingyuan frowned, he had never seen his master show such a sad smile, in Jingyuan's impression Yu Jieqing was always in good spirits, and liked to play tricks and tease.How will not let unhappy things affect.But is there really anything here in this appearance?

"Okay, don't frown anymore, it's so ugly. Hurry up and get the bamboo heart milk, go and go." Before he could sigh, Yu Jieqing returned to his original appearance, and drove Jingyuan outside to look for it. Something, "Hurry up, call me later when you can refine the Nine Flames Plastic Body Pill."

So Jingyuan was pushed out of Bai Zhiyu just like that, squatting down on the bamboo bed, Jingyuan rubbed the painful place and said: "Master doesn't bring such ones, and bullies me again." But thinking about the old man's mood today Okay, let's not talk anymore, let him be alone.

When Jingyuan sensed strong wood-type spiritual power fluctuations in the bamboo forest outside, she immediately arrived at the area where the spiritual power fluctuated strongly. She only saw a few emerald-like bamboos surrounding a tree with a diameter of less than half a meter. The circle, and the rich spiritual power leaked from here.Jingyuan walked in and took a look, but there was nothing there, only spiritual power constantly emerging from the ground.With difficulty, Jingyuan stretched out a hand from the gap between the bamboos, touched the ground, and felt that the spiritual power under the ground was hundreds of times stronger than that above.

With a jump in her heart, Jingyuan was sure that the bamboo heart milk was underneath.But this is a place that can only be reached with one hand. How do you dig the soil to get to the things below?Just when Jingyuan was about to pick it out with his hands, Yu Jieqing, who had been silent in his head, finally said, "Why did you accept such a stupid apprentice? Use your spiritual power to sense it, and then just pick it out like this."

"The power of the soul?"

"En." Yu Jieqing was satisfied with Jingyuan's reaction speed this time, "Bamboo heart milk is a spiritual thing formed in the bamboo whip of thousands of years, and it can only be felt by monks with wood spirit roots. The heart milk must be a circle of twelve emerald bamboos, only the breath of the alchemist can enter it, if you are not an alchemist, you must not even be able to reach in just now. And to get the bamboo heart milk, you must use your spirit Feel the direction by force, and use the power of the soul to make it appear, only in this way can we get a complete bamboo heart milk, otherwise, no matter how hard we dig, what we get will be useless waste.”

"No wonder, so there is no record of bamboo heart milk in ordinary books, right?"

"This kind of spiritual thing is only circulated among alchemists, and some alchemists may not know about it. I am a teacher because I am a monk transformed from plum blossoms, so my family will have records about the spiritual treasures in plants. It is impossible to remember such a thing in the book." Yu Jieqing taught, "Basically every big family or sect has its own unique inheritance, and alchemy is no exception. As long as you want to cultivate an alchemist, you must There are pill recipes, and each faction must hide some special pill recipes to attract some alchemists to join. And there will be some medicinal materials that are not introduced in ordinary books in the pill recipes. All alchemists want to get something. And if someone can decipher some medicinal ingredients that no one knows what it is, even if the level is not enough, he can still be honored as a master."

"I see. This is the attraction of fame and wealth. No wonder those sects attract alchemists. I originally thought that alchemists can only survive if they are attached to power." Jingyuan said after thinking.

"Right or wrong, apart from this, there is also the fact that the growth of an alchemist must waste a lot of medicinal materials, and those who work alone are fine at the beginning, and only need some low-level medicinal materials. When you are high, all you need are some advanced medicinal materials, not to mention how difficult it is to obtain these medicinal materials, even if you get them, there are only a few, which are not enough, how can you upgrade the alchemy."

"Doesn't that mean that you can only get enough medicinal materials by attaching to some forces, and some forces also use these alchemists to improve themselves and complement each other?"

"It's a gangster. So it's rare for an alchemist to become a talent alone. But you can rest assured that there is a teacher. Even if you don't have those things, you can quickly advance to the next level. The premise is that you work hard enough."

"I will work hard, master. Then master, you are also..."

"Of course I have to rely on myself as a teacher. I'm different from those idiots." Before Jingyuan could finish speaking, Yu Jieqing interrupted her.

Jingyuan looked at the master with an arrogant face in silence, sighed in her heart and thought, is this really a person who has lived for hundreds of years?He is even more childish than when he pretended to be a child when he was young.

"Yes, master, you are the best."

"That is, don't even think about when I was in Tianzhou."

"Then master, are we going to start preparing for alchemy?" Upon hearing that the master was going to start recalling the past again, Jing Yuan hurriedly changed the subject because he didn't want to listen to the glorious history that he was already familiar with and could recite backwards.

"Eh, yes, you take out the bamboo heart milk first."

"Ah."

Jingyuan stretched out his right hand to the emerald bamboo, urging a ball of spiritual power to condense in the palm of his palm from the green side of the blue-green gossip in Dantian, and slowly lowered the palm to a place one centimeter away from the ground, and the spiritual power wrapped around it. The palm was full, and under the influence of the rich wood-type spiritual power around it, the spiritual power around the palm began to turn dark green. At this time, he quickly used the power of his soul to control the flow of the spiritual power and pour it down towards the place he had sensed. , a strong green light flashed, and I felt something rushing up from the ground.

As soon as his right hand moved, he caught something in the dark green spiritual power that he couldn't see clearly. When he retracted his hand, he saw that he was holding a transparent three-section bamboo whip in his hand, and he could see through the outside. There is a bright green liquid swaying in it, and there are some faint golden lights in the middle.

"Master, it must be this thing."

"Well, that's it. It seems that I'm lucky. There are about six drops in it."

He let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he finally collected all the things, and then he could start alchemy, so he said: "Then master, you can start alchemy."

"What's the hurry, there are still good things I haven't taken yet."

"What else? Can I get some more bamboo heart milk?" Jingyuan wondered if it was possible to dig out a little more bamboo heart milk from the ground. It seemed that it would not be difficult to get it.

"Greedy, it is already a great gift for you to get six drops, but you still want to hollow it out. You will be punished."

"I'm just thinking about it. Master, you said there are still things you haven't taken."

"Really, these innate spiritual objects and treasures are all spiritual, and they have always been obtained by those who are predestined. I only got two drops when I was a teacher. You still want to have six drops. Remember that in the future, if you encounter For these things, you must remember to leave room for everything, so that the foundation will not be destroyed. The existence of these spiritual beings has a law. If you destroy this law, there must be something revenge in the dark I'm back." Yu Jieqing rarely taught Jingyuan seriously.

"Yes, I remember, master." Jingyuan replied this time with a respectful salute, without being fooled by it, and he also knew that Yu Jieqing said it for his own benefit.

"Just remember. Now hurry up and get another thing. I'm afraid people won't give it to you if it's too late." Yu Jieqing, who was a little more serious just now, immediately returned to the look of an old child, excitedly ordered Jingyuan to stand in front of the emerald bamboo, "Don't use your spiritual power this time, just use your soul power to wrap around the emerald bamboo. Remember to start from the bottom of the bamboo and wrap around the circle to the top slowly."

Jingyuan nodded, and then began to use the power of the soul to entangle in the way Yu Jieqing said.When he climbed to the middle of the emerald bamboo, Jingyuan felt that the power of his soul was consumed too much. If his power of soul was not stronger than that of ordinary people, he might not be able to climb up here.As soon as he gritted his teeth, he controlled the power of the soul to wrap around it quickly, and finally when he climbed to the top of the bamboo, Jingyuan's power of soul was also exhausted.

Falling weakly on the ground, he looked up at the soul power that had materialized in front of him, and saw that the white soul power wrapped the green spiritual power emanating from the ground, making the emerald bamboo more emerald green.When the white soul power automatically hovered to the top of the circle to form a milky white sphere, the light of the emerald bamboo seemed to dim a lot.

At this time, Yu Jieqing shouted: "Quick, take back your soul power."

"Huh?" Before the question was finished, Jingyuan's body moved first and sucked back the power of the soul hovering above in one breath.

As soon as the power of the soul returned to his body, he felt that the feeling of emptiness just now disappeared immediately, and instead, he felt that his five senses seemed to have improved.

Yu Jieqing seemed to know what Jingyuan was thinking, curled his lips and said: "This is a good thing. Except for the soul cultivation method of the Pill Fire Palace in the Jiuxuan Continent, there are very few other places that have soul cultivation methods. Some alchemists even They don't even know that the soul can be cultivated. For alchemists, the power of the soul is very important. Only a strong soul can ensure that the fusion and refining of various medicinal materials can be perfectly controlled in the whole process of refining elixir. The more powerful the soul is, the more it can improve the alchemy. The thing that has just attached to your soul power is called breath, and it is the gas that can only be condensed into shape by a very small number of spiritual things. This thing can make the soul more stable, and it is also necessary for the future. An introduction to cultivating the soul."

"Master, didn't you say that there are very few ways to cultivate the soul? Could it be that I will go to the Pill Fire Palace to grab it in the future?" Jingyuan observed the stabilized soul, and found that it was mixed with some green substances.

"Stupid, there are very few, but it's not that there are none. You only need to reach the sixth level to practice."

"Oh. Master, I'm still at the second level. When will I be able to reach the sixth level? It won't be a long wait." Jingyuan calculated her alchemy level and said a little depressed.

"That depends on when you arrive." After Yu Jieqing finished speaking, he ignored Jingyuan. In fact, he was stunned to death by Jingyuan. There are a lot of people coming, and the talent looks good.But this dead boy still dislikes his slow speed. If he didn't want him to consolidate his foundation, he would have reached level four by now.Yu Jieqing felt that his mood at this time was that he was happy that he had accepted a talented student, Qing Yulan, and he was a little jealous of the talent of Jingyuan, a dead boy.He is also called a genius, but God is too eccentric.

"Yes." Jingyuan answered honestly, not aware of her master's complicated mood at all.

"Well, go back and prepare, and start alchemy. Let you shape your body first."
