Chapter 165 Chapter 162: Four Minor Auxiliary Skills and Preparation (Two in One)
Lone Peak,
In the courtyard, under the old tree.
The core personnel of Xuanzhenguan have already gathered here, needless to say Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu, and Wei Fangjie.
Then there are Qingjing Laodao, Wei Jinkui, and Fan Zhong.
Apart from Chu Zhou, these are the only seven people in Xuanzhen Temple who have embarked on the path of immortality and practiced the method of entraining qi.
Sitting under the tree, Chu Zhou sat upright. He took out a handbook, put it on the table in front of him, and pushed it in front of Old Taoist Qingjing.
"Taoist Priest, would you like to take a look at this first?"
The old Taoist Qing Jing glanced at Chu Zhou with some confusion, then picked up the manual and started reading it casually.
Next to him, Yi Huai seemed a little curious, tilting his head and peeking with squinted eyes.
Of course, he didn't understand much. He actually knew all the words, but when they were put together, he couldn't figure out what they meant.
However, the expression on Qingjing Laodao's face changed drastically. First, his eyes widened, full of shock, then incredible, unbelievable, unbearable excitement, and in the end, his hands were shaking!
"This, this, this, Master, this is..."
""Basic Alchemy" is a derivation of medical ethics, refining various elixirs suitable for immortal cultivation."
After a pause, he added: "I think with your medical knowledge, this is what you need and you can make some achievements."
"Of course, of course it's useful, really, eh..."
The old Taoist Qingjing was so excited that he wanted to say something, but the handwritten book had reached the end and the content stopped abruptly.
His eyes paused, and he became even more excited. He stood up and pointed at the handwriting, and said anxiously: "Master, Master, you don't trust me. I will immediately leave Chaotian Guanzai and re-enter..."
< br>
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Chu Zhou quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't be excited, don't be excited, Taoist Priest Qingjing, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't let you come here.
Take a closer look at what's at the back of this manual? ”
Old Taoist Qingjing hurriedly flipped through it again, and then saw that the last page was also full of words, but there was nothing else.
Looking up in confusion, he asked: "Is there nothing behind?"
“There’s just nothing!”
Chu Zhou was a little dumbfounded, but he still said: "Don't you think it's right if you don't have it? This book only has so many pages, where should I write the subsequent content?"
After a pause, he said: "This book "Basic Alchemy" is about the basic content of alchemy.
It includes fire control, smelting methods, basic elixir techniques, as well as the selection of elixir furnaces, ignition of earth fire, selection and processing of medicinal materials, as well as some of the most basic elixir recipes and refining techniques. ”
"Although it is the basis of alchemy, the specific content cannot be written in one handwriting. Therefore, this is the first volume, followed by nineteen more, all in the library.
If you want to see it, you have to get it yourself! ”
"Is this, like this?"
"Hehehehahahaha..."
Everyone laughed, especially Wei Jinkui. He patted the clean old Taoist on the shoulder very hard and said: "This joke is so embarrassing!"
The old Taoist Qingjing was also quite embarrassed. Having lived to his age, he should be thick-skinned, but now he was blushing.
Of course, caring leads to chaos!
Chu Zhou only waited for his laughter to subside before he asked: "Taoist Master, with these, can you learn to make alchemy?"
Qingjing Laodao did not answer immediately, but flipped through the manual again, especially the front catalog. He read it very carefully.
After taking enough time to drink tea, he sighed: "It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult!"
"Although there is some connection between alchemy and medicine, they are not exactly the same thing.
Especially for those medicinal materials whose names are unknown, they need to be searched again, their properties determined one by one, and then tried, adjusted, optimized, and so on. There are too many things that need to be done, which is not easy.
But..."
When the conversation changed, the old Taoist Qingjing raised his head and said seriously: "However, I am willing to give it a try."
At this point, he smiled again, heartily: "I thought there was no hope in this life, but unexpectedly, I have another chance. How pitiful, how pitiful!"
Unlike Chu Zhou and the others, Qingjing Lao Dao is the oldest among the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is old and frail. He also practices secret arts, which more or less damages the body's essence.
To be precise, it means that the 'energy, energy and spirit' have been depleted too much, so practicing will naturally lead to twice the result with half the effort.
I didn't feel anything at first, but as time went by, the gap widened.
Among everyone, even Fan Zhong, a mortal who started from scratch, has already reached the third level of Qi Entrainment.
Only Qingjing Lao Dao has just broken through to the second level, and is pitifully slow.
Perhaps the only one who can help him is this alchemy method.
Chu Zhou could understand his mood and asked again: "Taoist Master, if you are given the right to choose people, can you set up a medicine refining hall?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
"It means that fighting alone is not as good as the wisdom of everyone. You have been practicing medicine for so many years, but you don't have some friends, colleagues, or brothers who are knowledgeable in medicine?
I give you the power to recruit people. As long as they concentrate on medicine, you can recruit them, and then use this "Basic Alchemy" as a lure to see if they can win.
If there are more people, everyone can take responsibility for each other, which can also speed up the process. ”
"Master, are you really worried about everything?"
Having said that, Qingjing Laodao's eyes were already flashing, thinking about possibilities and candidates.
After a moment of pause, he said: "There are some candidates, and some of them have better medical skills than me, but the method of immortal cultivation is ultimately the secret of my Xuanzhen Temple.
In this case, there is a risk of leaking the secret. ”
Chu Zhou nodded and said: "I know, but it doesn't matter. If anything is leaked, just think of it as bringing a wave of enlightenment to the world."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, even though that is said, everyone still needs to be cautious.
It would be safer to wait until our cultivation levels are up before revealing some basic knowledge.
Could the Taoist Master do this? ”
The old Taoist Qingjing nodded and said: "This is an opportunity. It is a great opportunity for anyone. I naturally know it. When I go back, I will write a letter to invite people to come."
"Okay!"
At this point, the matter has been decided. Chu Zhou looked at the others again and said: "Don't think that these are just matters for the Taoist Master and the second junior brother. You are also involved."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and three more handwritten books fell on the table.
Yi Huai reacted the fastest. He raised his head and took out a book. After opening it, he murmured: "This is "Basic Weapon Refining", a magic weapon? Are we going to have an Weapon Refiner in Xuanzhen Temple?"
Fan Tiehu and Wei Jinkui each took a copy and flipped through it briefly. Wei Fangjie said: "My book is about formations. It is very magical!"
"My book is about drawing talismans!" Fan Tiehu frowned, a little confused: "Is the Taoist talisman and seal script really powerful?"
Chu Zhou ignored him and said directly: "The alchemy talisman formation and the four major auxiliary skills of cultivating immortals are the foundation, but they are also the beginning of everything.
Take a look for yourselves. If you are interested, you have to choose one. ”
Yi Huai paused and asked: "Senior Brother, don't we all have to learn?"
"You choose voluntarily, but you have to learn."
Chu Zhou nodded at the desk and said: "Remember, our Xuanzhen Temple is not a real martial arts sect, we are cultivators.
If you don't take down all the alchemy talismans, it would be outrageous to tell anyone. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were bitter, even Fan Zhong was like this. There was nothing they could do. They had also come into contact with "Basic Spirit Patternology" when they were studying law.
That really left a very deep impression on them. It might be too much to say it was miserable, but if they didn't have the talent to learn this, it would be really difficult for them.
Seeing their expressions, Chu Zhou understood, so he could only say: "Of course, everything is difficult at the beginning, so we are not in a hurry, let's take our time!"
At this point, the tone was set. In fact, Chu Zhou was also mentally prepared.
Again, it is not an easy task to start something from scratch, even if there are basic textbooks.
But the problem is that the textbooks are just textbooks. Without a mature material supply system and a complete training institution, it is not that easy to just fumble around with the textbooks.
But no matter how difficult it is, as long as you take a step forward, you will always gain something.
At this time, it was Wei Jinkui who raised the most critical question: "Master, you said to take your time, but Wanxiangzhai probably won't give us much time. What are you going to do?"
This is the issue that everyone is concerned about. As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes gathered. Now that Chu Zhou had made his decision, he was naturally unambiguous and said directly: "I will go to Wanxiangzhai in person."
"Go in person?"
Wei Jinkui was stunned when he heard this, and felt a little unbelievable, and said: "No, Temple Master, this is too dangerous, and you are going to negotiate with the Master of Wanxiang Zhai?
Now that Wanxiangzhai is here, he cannot retreat easily, and negotiations cannot be useful! ”
"I understand!"
Chu Zhou said softly: "Although my Xuanzhen Guan dominates the situation, when it comes to strength, it is indeed inferior. This is an indisputable fact.
I've thought about it carefully, and there's only one thing I can't be afraid of, and that's high-end combat power. ”
“On this trip, I’m not here to negotiate, but to inquire about boxing.
As long as I can subdue the master of Wanxiang Zhai with one punch and one kick, Wanxiang Zhai's strong strength will have no basis, and I will not dare to move. ”
After hearing this, everyone felt that this method was feasible. As long as Chu Zhou could win and win cleanly, even if Wanxiangzhai was strong, they would have some scruples.
Yes, they can indeed sweep through the entire Tianquan County with their strong strength, and even destroy Xuanzhen Temple.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But that is equivalent to opening the shackles on Chu Zhou's body. If he loses the shackles and assassinates, attacks, and slaughters unscrupulously, even Wanxiangzhai will cry! ! !
This is another form of asymmetric warfare, nuclear deterrence.
Only the old Taoist Qingjing spoke: "So, Master, are you fully confident in defeating the Master of Wanxiang Zhai?
I'm not doubting your strength, but as far as I know, the higher the realm, the greater the gap in strength.
It's hard to say that the master of Wanxiang Zhai is not as good as the black-faced centipede Yan Xiuyuan. If he is stronger than Yan Xiuyuan, something is wrong. ”
Yi Huai was a little unhappy when he said this: "Old Taoist, do you think my senior brother will lose when you say this?
You have been coming to Xuanzhen Temple for many years. How has my senior brother ever lost? ”
There was no way, Xu Cheng and Yi Huai had no bottom line of trust in Chu Zhou. Not to mention the martial arts master, they believed that Chu Zhou could pull down the grand master and play like a football.
Chu Zhou nodded, shook his head, and said: "Actually, I don't have the confidence to win, so I still need to hone my true meaning of martial arts.
I guess it will be fine when I get to Anyue City.
By then, not to mention the master of Wanxiang Zhai, even if we add their three inner sect elders, I will be somewhat sure. ”
Chu Zhou said this with confidence, and the pure old Taoist didn't say much, but Wei Jinkui added: "I'm afraid that Wanxiangzhai will find someone to help. You know, they have been operating in Bawang City for a long time, and they have connections with Ba Zong. These connections are not Missing.”
"It would be great if they were really like that."
Chu Zhou nodded: "Come back and forth, looking for help always costs money, favors and time.
If the struggle in Tianquan County can evolve into Wanxiangzhai looking for masters from other places to challenge me, what can basically be guaranteed is that before I am undefeated, Tianquan County will be safe and sound, and the name of Xuanzhenguan, the first sect The head will also sit firmly. ”
Seeing that Wei Jinkui still had something to say, Chu Zhou waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've made up my mind, let's do it."
At this time, Fan Tiehu suddenly said: "Senior Brother, if you want to prepare for this trip, you should bring some manpower to protect you, right?"
"This..."
Chu Zhou thought for a while and said: "I still want it!"
Fan Tiehu recommended himself: "Then let me go. Last time I went to Anyue City, I didn't go. This time, let me follow you and learn more."
"I, I will go too. As a guard, you still have to be strong. Apart from senior brother, I am the strongest!"
This was Yi Huai's speech, and Wei Fangjie was not happy: "Third Senior Brother, you are talking as if I am far behind you. If you want to go, then I have to go too."
"You go, you just go. However, we have all gone, and only the second senior brother is left at home, okay?"
As Yi Huai said this, he put his arm around Xu Cheng's shoulders and said, "Second Senior Brother, are you going?"
Xu Cheng was a little moved, but still said: "I listen to senior brother."
With a click, all four people looked at Chu Zhou. Chu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's get together. I can't let you stay at home every day. You still have to go out and see the world!"
With that said, Chu Zhou looked at the other three people and said: "While we are away these days, Uncle Wei, you will be in charge; Uncle Fan, you will be in charge; Taoist Priest Qingjing, please take care of the safety of the sect. ”
"Yes!"
"Then when shall we set off?"
"Prepare tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow."
"Okay!"
……
In fact, the so-called preparations are just arrangements that need to be made, preparations that need to be prepared, decisions that need to be made, and then the alert level within the sect is raised again.
It’s night,
Chu Zhou did not practice, nor did he enter the Jingyin Hall. Instead, he washed and bathed. After cleansing his body, he sat cross-legged, lit another incense, and began to adjust his state.
The next morning, when the rooster crowed at dawn, Chu Zhou opened his eyes.
He didn't wash or even eat. He just wore a blue Taoist robe, his hair was loose, and he stepped on the ground with bare feet.
When he reached the door, he pushed it open and Xu Chengsi was already there.
There was no need to talk. Chu Zhou continued to walk out of the courtyard, walked through the corridor, passed through the palace, and then went down the steps step by step until he reached the mountain gate.
Here, there are already many pilgrims who get up to worship God in the morning, as well as vendors setting up stalls. They all stare blankly at the scene in front of them, somewhat at a loss.
Chu Zhou ignored them and slowly closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, he fell into complete silence. The power in his body was dormant, his magic power was gathered, and his energy and spirit were restrained to the extreme. His whole body was like a piece of rotten wood.
But if you look closely, there is a sense of inconsistency, like the calm before the storm, or like a silent volcano.
It looks normal, but there is a torrent of power inside that is suppressed and accumulated, waiting for the moment to explode.
Of course, the convergence of strength does not hinder Chu Zhou's keen perception. After closing his eyes,
After losing his vision, his hearing became more sensitive, supplemented by touch, taste and perception, and the external scenes seemed to appear in his mind in another form.
Then he took a step!
He just closed his eyes and walked forward step by step, ignoring all the noise, and headed towards Baisha City.
Around him, Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie each took a corner and moved forward with Chu Zhou.
The auras of the four people were connected together, which did not affect Chu Zhou's perception and walking, but also blocked all directions, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
Just like this, step by step, they walked out of the mountain gate, walked onto the official road, and after walking for several miles, they arrived at Baisha River.
But this time, Chu Zhou did not take a boat, but just stepped on the water, crushing the waves and spray, and walked forward as if walking on flat ground.
Xu Cheng and the others did not have this ability, so they chose boats and directly purchased four boats, which they still protected around them.
This move really shocked everyone along the way.
They couldn't understand what kind of strange move this was. Only the warriors who knew the inside story changed their expressions.
Because, according to ancient legends, martial arts geniuses like to walk like this, challenging various martial arts along the way.
As long as you fight all the way without losing, you will be able to accumulate invincible power, understand the true meaning of superhuman martial arts, and shake your fist to the sky.
As for Chu Zhou, there is no one in this three-acre area of Tianquan County who is worthy of his action.
Only, the master of Wanxiang Zhai!
Therefore, during this trip, Chu Zhou, the master of Xuanzhen Temple, asked Wanxiangzhai of Wenquan!
This was a big deal, enough to make countless warriors rush to report it, and even more countless warriors rushed to Anyue City, looking forward to this battle.
Among the crowd, an ordinary man looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face. He originally ran a cake stall.
But at this moment, he didn't care about his own business, and turned around and hurried home. The customers who wanted to pay behind him couldn't stop shouting.
Less than half an hour later, the flying eagle was released into the air. A small bamboo tube was tied to its leg, and it flew away with a loud roar that shot up into the sky.
The various sects in Tianquan County regard Wanxiangzhai as a scourge. Naturally, Wanxiangzhai will not be arrogant enough to think that it is invincible.
Therefore, Wanxiangzhai had sent people to Tianquan County a long time ago.
As for Xuanzhen Temple, it is estimated that it is the "conspicuous one" among the sects in Tianquan County. Chu Zhou's strength is not only due to Chu Zhou's strength, but also because Xuanzhen Temple secretly teaches martial arts.
Therefore, there is a secret hidden in Baisha City, and a very rare flying eagle is specially equipped to send messages.
It's just that Anzi didn't expect that the first time he used it would be on this.
Two chapters in one, mainly because I was called out for dinner at night, and I almost couldn't finish it!
(End of chapter)
