The years when I explored the fairyland

The next day, early morning,

In the guest room, a large box has been opened, various books have been rummaged through, and the desk has been placed everywhere.

Chu Zhou, on the other hand, was sitting on the bed beside him, holding an ancient book and flipping through it. He started reading at a high speed until he found the part he needed, then he slowed down and started reading carefully.

If you change your perspective, you can see that there are three big words on the cover of the book - "Collection of Spiritual Beasts"

Spiritual beasts are rare. Almost all of them are hidden in the mountains and swamps and are not seen by outsiders. Books introducing spiritual beasts are even rarer.

The first time Chu Zhou knew that such a thing existed was because of Xiangyuntang's "Xiangyun Ji".

Although Wenxiangguan is a big user of the blood of spiritual beasts, it is also a purchase, and his knowledge is also limited.

This book was found from the Yunya Sword Sect. It records a total of sixty-four kinds of spirit beasts, ranging from appearance, habits, characteristics, to activity areas, living habits, combat power estimates, etc...

The ancient book was quite old and had obvious signs of insect infestation, but the one in Chu Zhou's hand was naturally copied by hand.

He still had some impressions of this ancient book. After killing the giant snake, he wanted to look through it to see if there was any introduction.

Unexpectedly, this accidental move actually allowed him to find some useful information.

Water Dragon King, this is the name given by the fishermen on the bank of Baisha River. According to the records in "Spiritual Beast Collection", this thing should be called a viper!

The adder is a venomous snake that lives in the water. It has sharp teeth, fangs, and silver-white scales. It is long in body despite its age and likes to eat natural materials and treasures.

Among the rivers, lakes and seas, there is the ability to turn the rivers upside down and make waves.

A snake sheds its skin every ten years. After a hundred years of life, it can become a demon. After five hundred years, it can transform into a dragon. At a thousand years old, it can become a dragon and fly around the world.

Chu Zhou guessed that when he was practicing, the wisdom of heaven and earth gathered together, and the snake regarded it as a treasure of heaven and earth, and then swallowed it.

Then, he was sent out by Chu Zhou repeatedly and received the lunch box.

Of course, Chu Zhou also had to admit that if possible, he actually did not want to provoke such monsters.

Especially in the water, this thing is really powerful and fast, and the nearly invulnerable snake scales almost wipe out all the advantages of the hegemonic body.

In the past, Chu Zhou used his strength to crush others, but this time he was crushed by a snake with his strength.

It is worth mentioning that the whole body of this snake is full of treasures. The snake bones can be used as medicine, the snake gallbladder can improve eyesight, the snake scales are the best material for making armor, and the snake blood and snake meat are a great tonic.

Chu Zhou also found several usable prescriptions in another pharmacopoeia, "Xiang Yun Ji".

For example, snake gallbladder can be used as medicine, and combined with more than ten kinds of precious medicinal materials, a 'purifying ointment for improving eyesight' can be made.

Every time you use it, just take a little and smear it on your eyelids, then close your eyes and meditate for half an hour, allowing the medicinal effect to penetrate into your eyeballs, which will greatly enhance your vision.

If it is combined with some kind of pupil technique, it can have miraculous effects.

For another example, if snake bones are used as medicine, it is best to refine a large medicine called 'Yunlong Powder'.

It can be mainly used in bone training, taking the meaning of Yunlong into the bone. The toughness of the bones is several times stronger than that of ordinary warriors.

Or it can be used during marrow washing and blood transfusion, which can promote bone marrow regeneration and help new blood replace old blood.

Let's talk about snake blood. It's the blood of spiritual beasts. It is used for Wenxiang Temple to make the 'calm and requiem incense'. It is absolutely the best material.

All in all, the process is dangerous, but the results are rich. Just this viper, if it were exchanged for silver, it would have an income of millions.

However, the thing was a good thing, but it was also difficult to handle and use. The most important thing was that Chu Zhou and the others had no experience in handling the corpses of spiritual beasts.

It is estimated that no one in Wenxiang Guan has experience with this kind of thing.

But Wei Jinkui actually mentioned someone who could be used - Qingjing Laodao.

Judging from his attainments in medicine and Chaotian Guan's background, he is definitely not ignorant. It makes sense to say that he knows something about spiritual beasts.

But Chu Zhou's handling was more straightforward. He asked Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie to make a trip, take a faster boat, go upstream, return to Xuanzhen Temple first, and invite the Taoist Qingjing to come over.

As for this big ship, there is no way it can move with such a big snake carcass hanging on it.

And because of the spread of snake blood, it also attracted many rare and large fish, ferocious turtles, and even strange aquatic monsters.

If Chu Zhou hadn't been there, they probably would have cut the snake carcass into pieces and eaten it to their heart's content.

After another day's pause, Qingjing Laodao, led by Yi Huai, hurried over, while Wei Fangjie was still behind, organizing the fleet.

This snake corpse really cannot be transported back by this half-broken ship, so it naturally needs help.

Stepping on the splint, Qingjing Laodao walked like wind, almost taking three steps at a time and rushing to the snake head.

After turning around and around, he finally stopped, turned his head and looked aside, and asked excitedly: "Palm Master, Temple Master, did you really kill this adder?"

With just one sentence, Chu Zhou knew something in his mind. He asked, "Does the Taoist priest know this snake?"

"I've seen it in books, but this kind of spiritual beast is extremely rare and extremely difficult to kill. This is really the first time I've seen it."

Chu Zhou asked again: "Then how should we deal with it specifically? Is Taoist Master sure about it?"

"this……"

The old Taoist Qingjing stroked his beard slightly, and then said: "If you talk about using this spiritual beast as medicine, I am quite good at it. I can concoct more than a dozen kinds of powerful medicines with amazing effects, but they are all easy.

As for processing, I can only say that I tried, but after all, it is not professional, and there will definitely be a lot of losses.

There are senior brothers at Chaotian Temple, but the distance is too far. Even if I am sure to invite someone, I won't be able to get there in a short time. "

Chu Zhou nodded and said, "In that case, Taoist Master, can we talk in detail inside?"

"Of course you can!"

…

In the guest room,

The two parties were seated separately, and Yi Huai had already presented two new cups of tea.

The old Taoist Qingjing was not polite, he raised the tea cup, swept away the tea leaves and took a sip, to relieve the anxiety of coming all the way and the restlessness in his heart.

To be honest, when he heard that Chu Zhou killed a very big snake on his way back, he was dubious.

How big can a snake, even a python, be?

But when he actually saw it, he was shocked to realize that it was a beast, it was clearly a spiritual beast!

As long as an adder lives for more than a hundred years, its size will grow to an exaggerated level.

Even he felt a little uncontrollably excited when he saw the corpse of such a spiritual beast. He simply took advantage of this period of time to calm down a little.

However, as his thoughts flowed, he was also thinking about what conditions he should put forward.

It shouldn't be too much to use the corpse of the snake as a bargaining chip to get some scraps, right?

Even if it's just scraps, it can be used to prescribe several batches of powerful medicine.

When the old Taoist Qingjing was having a 'sweet dream', a book was handed to him. He took it almost instinctively and glanced at it casually.

At just one glance, his expression changed. He immediately put down the tea cup. After a closer look, he raised his head in shock and asked, "This, this is?"

"Isn't this what you want from Chaotian Temple? The optimized and improved "Ghost Escape Technique"!"

Chu Zhou waved his hand: "You can take a look first, it doesn't matter."

"good!"

The old Taoist Qingjing responded and opened it immediately. The part in front of the head was nothing. He was also familiar with the content of "The Art of Destroying Ghosts".

But at the end, he had never seen the parts about how to seal with gloomy wood, how to make offerings, and how to drive.

Even after just a cursory glance, he was amazed by the various methods involved, not in terms of how advanced they were, but in terms of the inspiration and attempts involved, which no one had ever thought of before.

With just this volume of books, if he really takes back Chaotian Temple, he will be considered to have made a great contribution.

Looking up again, Old Taoist Qingjing couldn't help but ask: "Master, is what is said here really feasible?"

Chu Zhou said: "I have a gloomy wooden plaque in my hand, which I keep in the Xuanzhen Temple Patriarch Hall. If you need it, you can take it with me when the time comes."

"Here, was this also given to me?"

The old Taoist Qingjing only felt a little unreal, but Chu Zhou smiled: "Taoist Master, are you also curious about why I started with this secret technique, but later on, whether it was against others or fighting with my life, I never... Used?”

"Is it because the temple master's martial arts have greatly improved and he is no longer able to use it?"

"That's just one aspect, the more reason is..."

At this point, Chu Zhou paused slightly, looked directly into the eyes of the old Taoist Qing Jing, and then said quietly: "This little ghost trick is not worth mentioning if it is not on the table!"

This was said in a rather loud tone, but the Qingjing Lao Taoist heard it particularly harshly.

What you are not worth mentioning is what I dream about!

But before he could say anything, Chu Zhou slowly raised his hand. Light blue mana poured into his fingertips, and a spiritual pattern was outlined in the air.

At another point, the spirit pattern shattered, and water surged up in the tea cup, swirling in the air, and finally spinning on Chu Zhou's fingertips.

As soon as Chu Zhou's magic formula changed, the water flow turned into birds flapping their wings and flying around; white tigers roared and pounced in the air; fish swam freely and jumped out of the water; snakes attacked with astonishing momentum...

Although it is not a very powerful technique, this 'water gathering technique' really shows some spirituality.

Naturally, Old Taoist Qingjing was stunned and excited when he saw it: "This, this, what is this?"

"I don't care about the ghost arts. I really don't like them. Moreover, in my opinion, the secret arts you practice are all flawed and incomplete, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Then the temple master means that you have a complete inheritance?"

When the old Taoist Qingjing said this, although he asked rhetorically, his tone was actually a bit mocking and a bit indifferent.

That expression almost says, you said our inheritance is incomplete, as if you have a complete inheritance?

But Chu Zhou didn't shy away from it: "I dare not say how complete it is, but the basic parts are still there.

Your secret technique, which only practices techniques without practicing the law, is not the right path after all. But I happen to have techniques, methods, and theories.

I just don’t know if you, the pure old Taoist, are interested? "

At this time, Old Taoist Qingjing really couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up quickly and said, "Are you willing to teach me?"

"That depends on whether the Taoist master is willing to learn!"

"Learn, of course I want to learn, but I don't know what price I have to pay?"

The old Taoist Qingjing was still somewhat calm. He turned his eyes and said in a more serious tone: "Or maybe your target is not me, but Chaotian Guan?"

Chu Zhou shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Chaotian Guan, it is only related to your pure and old way. If you want to learn, I will not hesitate to teach you.

It's just that there must be a justifiable name.

So, Taoist Master, are you willing to join me as a worshiper in Xuanzhen Temple? "
