Chapter 369 The oldest chewing gum

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September, and Hua Zhen walked out of the alchemy room in the early morning of this day, looking a little tired, but with excited eyes, and he took out 27 boxes of Chunrong Dan.

The Chunrong Dan produced in the grocery store is packaged like a cigarette. The long box is slightly thicker than ordinary cigarettes. It is not easy to hold 27 cigarettes in the hand.

With another wave of his hand, these Chunrong Pills flew into the warehouse like birds returning to their nests, and they were automatically stacked neatly.

It has been a month since Hua Zhenxing went back to the grocery store to practice in seclusion. The so-called seclusion does not mean closing the door every day and ignoring world affairs. He is refining a pot of elixir every other day.

It takes a day and a night to refine the Chunrong Pill in the nine-turn Zijin Furnace. Once the furnace is started, it will take a day and a night.Fortunately, Hua Zhenxing's foundation was well established, so he can survive now.

Even so, he couldn't continue refining alchemy every day, maintaining the rhythm of one day and one rest.He wasn't idle during the breaks. In addition to recovering his spirit and mana and studying various magical powers, he was still paying attention to various situations at home and abroad.

A briefing will be sent to the grocery store every day. There are only two such briefings in Jiliguo, one for Shire and the other for Hua Zhenxing.

Hua Zhenxing did not ask the government of Jili Kingdom to do this. This was an order from Shire, and it would be delivered every day anyway. Whether Hua Zhenxing would look at it or not is another matter.

Rothschild had already returned to Brussels, accompanied by four monks, Pan Cai, Wang Longming, Chen Feng, and Zhu Yujing.

Not counting the three elders, Pan Cai is the number one expert in Yangyuan Valley.He was a disciple of Wang Yan, the elder who ran away from Dingfengtan back then. He officially started to practice after Dingfengtan was destroyed.

After coming to Yangyuan Valley, Pan Cai not only perfected his own secret inheritance, but also came into contact with more supernatural powers and spells, his cultivation was more profound, and the methods he mastered were rich and varied enough to deal with various unexpected situations.

Of course, Pan Cai was sent to Luo Chaide's side to provide protection. For this reason, Hua Zhenxing also talked to Pan Cai specifically, and Pan Cai himself was willing to accept this task.

Even if the Hidden Maple Mountain Brotherhood has been dealt with by Cambistine, the Vitality Club can provide resources such as [-] sets of Vitality Potions every year. If there is no expert like Pan Cai by his side, Dr. Luo may not be able to shake it. scene.

Wang Longming, Chen Feng, and Zhu Yujing originally belonged to the same small group as Pan Cai. They are all descendants of Elder Wang Yan. Among them, Wang Longming is also the descendant of Elder Wang Yan's family. These people are now headed by Pan Cai. .

So Hua Zhenxing simply sent them all to the Vitality Club.Tigers also doze off sometimes. No matter how high Pan Cai's cultivation is, he can't concentrate on everything 24 hours a day. It is also important to have enough people to help.

These four monks have another identity. They are all sixth-level mentors in the Yuanyang Valley. They can guide those members in the Vitality Club to cultivate Yuanshu, and at the same time introduce the situation of Yuanshu and the International Yuanshu Association. go out.

Rothschild himself is only a second-level Yuan Yang master, and it is really unreliable for him to teach Yuan Yang.

The group of people in the Vitality Club, if they can't do anything well, it's fine. If they can get started, if they don't have a reliable mentor to guide them, maybe they will go into trouble.

Compared with the cultivation secret methods of various sects and sects, Yangyuanshu's cultivation process is much "safer". Even if it fails to practice, it will not cause any problems. As long as it is taught properly, it will have the effect of strengthening the body.

But the crux of the problem lies in "teaching properly". Dr. Luo has become a second-level nourisher, and there are other people who have joined the Vitality Club. Hua Zhenxing has to treat it with caution, so he sent these four sixth-level tutors.

If Hua Zhenxing doesn't do this, let Rothschild continue to be the coach in Brussels, I'm afraid Cambisting will not be happy either.It cannot be said that some people in Gambisting have a critical attitude towards the Vitality Club, which is completely unreasonable.

This time Pan Cai and four others were sent over, and Hua Zhenxing also greeted Yue Gaole. After all, the Luoba Alliance is the traditional sphere of influence of Cambisting, just like the Eastern Kingdom is the traditional sphere of influence of the Kunlun League.

Hua Zhenxing told Yue Gaole that it was Rothschild's personal behavior to set up the Vitality Club, and Dr. Luo was the one who pulled Princess Ketia into the game.

This time he sent four instructors there, the purpose was not to establish a sect, let alone to seize power, but to simply guide the cultivation of the Nourishing Technique and protect Rothschild's safety at the same time.

Hua Zhenxing also had a little selfish intention in making this arrangement, which was to justify the name of the so-called "vitality technique" and tell the practitioners of the vitality club that its real name should be Yangyuanshu in the Eastern language.

Yangyuanshu comes from a place called Yangyuangu, where the headquarters of the world's Yuanyuan masters and the International Yangyuanshu Association are located. It is responsible for the assessment and certification of all Yuanyuan masters in the world, and also organizes advanced training.

Hua Zhenxing and Pan Cai also discussed in detail how to promote the Vitality Club.Pan Cai also made many suggestions, and Hua Zhenxing believed that these suggestions were quite pertinent.

Although Hua Zhenxing also understands that Pan Cai may not have the same heart with him, but the other party is the sixth-level mentor in Yangyuan Valley after all, and there is no conflict between them, at least right now, as long as Pan Cai's suggestion is reasonable , he has no reason not to adopt it.

In the Vitality Club, the political color of the International Yangyuanshu Association should be downplayed as much as possible in the propaganda, and its relationship with Jili Kingdom should not be mentioned too much, and it should be described as a professional association and academic organization.

I heard that Rothschild has been living a good life recently, and I feel a little high-spirited. The first step of the plan to acquire Vago Mining has been completed.

Rothschild controls a shell company named Ogilvy Investment, which owns all the shares of Vago Mining, and has entrusted the full rights of Vago Mining to Jindianhang Mining Co., Ltd. in Jiliguo for operation.

If the equity factor is not considered, Jiliguo has actually obtained the operation right of Wago Mining, and Yimailei Group and other technical support units have not stumbling this enterprise.

Otherwise, even if the supply of equipment parts and consumables is cut off, Vago Mining can stop production in a short period of time.Huazhenxing made such a big circle to buy Wago Mining in order to avoid this situation.

The second step of the plan to acquire Vago Mining is being implemented, and Jindianxing will soon sign the VAM agreement with Ogilvy Investment.

According to the feedback from Rothschild, since they have recently obtained the quota resources of [-] sets of vitality medicines per year, they can do many things like ducks in water. The price for Ogilvy Investment to acquire the equity of Vago Mining is very small.

I don't know who Dr. Luo exchanged benefits with. Since he didn't elaborate, Hua Zhenxing didn't ask.

The originally agreed gambling agreement was that Jin Dian Xing would acquire the entire equity of Wago Mining from Ogilvy Investment at a price of one billion yuan three years later.But because Dr. Luo got the equity at a very small price this time, the purchase amount was changed to [-] million.

This is tantamount to helping Hua Zhenxing save [-] million Luo yuan in the future. Dr. Luo really gives both face and benefits.Of course, the value of the help and resources Hua Zhenxing gave him was only a little more, and the two of them seemed to be working together.

Of course, Hua Zhenxing was very happy when the purchase price of VAM dropped from the original one billion yuan to seven hundred million yuan.

He heard the news the day before yesterday, and then refined Chunrong Pill again yesterday, and finally reached the level of refining 27 boxes at a time. Although his cultivation base did not break through the big realm, it was still a small step.

For Hua Zhenxing, the process of refining Chunrong Pill is the process of cultivating the primordial technique. Although it is with the help of the magical effect of the nine-turn purple gold furnace array, it mainly depends on his own vitality between condensing and transforming the world. .

Why did Hua Zhenxing successfully refine a five-qi pill as the standard for the assessment of the sixth-level nourisher?Because the key to the success of the five qi pills is the cohesion of vitality, which complements the cultivation base of the nourishing essence technique.

The fifth-level tutor and the sixth-level tutor are actually five-level monks. Why does Hua Zhenxing add this step?Because there are many monks of the five realms in the world, and the fundamental formulas of cultivation are not the same, and not all of them have practiced Nourishing Yuan.

For example, Pan Cai, Xiao Guang and others have already completed the five realms or made breakthroughs, but they did not take the cultivation of primordial cultivation as their foundation.

And the cultivation of Yangyuanshu has its own unique style, even a Dacheng monk needs to practice from scratch, otherwise he is just a Dacheng monk and not a Yangyuanshu instructor.

The characteristics of Yangyuanshu, from the conservation of vitality to the transformation and condensing of vitality, comprehend that the vitality of the world is born out of nothing, just like the process of the emergence, birth, and growth of creatures.

To put it more mysteriously, Yang Yuan uses himself as the world to accumulate vitality, not to plunder others, nor to plunder mountains, rivers, vegetation, nor to absorb any aura from the world, which is very important.

Does the so-called aura of heaven and earth in many literary works really exist?If it is forced to say that it exists, it is actually the origin of time and space, which cannot be measured by external objects but is everywhere. It is also the source of supernatural powers.

If you have to find a technical term, you can barely call it aura.The cultivation of a monk is nothing more than to what extent and in what way he can use it.The different formulas of each school reflect the characteristics of the application,

In a given time and space, there can't be any spiritual explosion and spiritual recovery, because it is the origin of the existing time and space.

Reiki is not vitality, even the same aura exists on the barren moon, and the process of transforming vitality can be called inspiration.The magic circle that Hua Zhenxing has already set up and is about to set up is mainly for the use of inspiration.

Hua Zhenxing only had a vague understanding of this after cultivating to the current level.

Of course, the standard for the completion of the five realms is not to refine three five qi pills at the same time. Many people have never done such a thing and still break through.But for Hua Zhenxing, since Yang Yuanshu is the foundation of cultivation, this is a kind of reference.

As for the limit of the nine-turn purple gold furnace formation, it can refine nine Wuqi pills at the same time, and refine 81 boxes of Chunrong pills in one day.

But Hua Zhenxing already understood at this moment that he still couldn't do it, no matter how powerful his mana was, unless he broke through the cultivation base of Dacheng.

In the past month of Huazhenxing, a total of 160 boxes of Chunrong Pills have been refined, and the "Task Fourteen" released by the system was not completed until early this morning.

Watching 27 boxes of Chunrong Pills fly into the warehouse, Hua Zhenxing's primordial spirit sensed itself, and finally got the task reward.

Inexplicably appearing in the Yuanshen, the "Huan Xiangguo Mission System" is like a kind of spiritual mind seal, which can only be interpreted after unlocking a certain step. This time, the system gave him a brand new Wu Qi Dan Dan recipe— —

Huang Yunxiang, an aphrodisiac; Qinger San, a summer medicine; Feng Shishuang, an autumn medicine; Bai Yujin, a winter medicine; Baisialu, a traditional Chinese medicine.The five flavors are combined and refined to form a five-qi pill.

Rue huang, made from ripe and immature fruit by taking Mutongxiang, its shape is golden yellow and fine crystals.

Qinger powder, its raw material is a kind of fungus, which grows on the living stump of century-old green sandalwood.The next day after the rain, pick the fungus that was newly grown on the day, refine it into a dark brown gel, and then dry it in the shade.

This kind of green sandalwood is very special. When it grows to the size of the mouth of a bowl, the main trunk is cut off, leaving only a stump half the height of a person. The stump keeps sending out twigs every year, and some of the twigs are cut off every year to let it continue to re-grow. .

This kind of green sandalwood has been growing for a hundred years, and the stump has become very thick, and it is covered with twigs.These twigs are verdant and straight, looking like a lush and verdant young tree from a distance, it may be difficult for people to think that it is actually a century-old tree.

Where can I find such a special tree?Theoretically, it has been "repaired" by people since a hundred years ago. Who has nothing to do with these green sandalwood?The system actually gave a hint about this - go to Wucheng in the Eastern Kingdom!

Fengshishuang, its raw material is chico gum, which is a kind of sap of elm. The harvesting method is a bit like cutting rubber, and the finished product after refining is like white cream.

Baiyujin is the pure juice of white jade hooves, which is a colorless and transparent liquid.

White jade hoof is a kind of spiritual plant in the cave, a bit like a water chestnut, with a more spherical shape and a smaller volume.White jade hooves can't grow in ordinary places at all, and it is itself a kind of panacea to replenish vitality and assist in cultivation.

As for where to find Bai Yu's hooves, the system actually reminded him that he could ask Ding Qi.

Baisialu is the grass seed of Baisialo.Its shape is like a plump wheat grain, and does not require other processing and refining processes. It is harvested after it is mature, and its spiritual effect is sealed by refining the chaff with spiritual consciousness, and it can be directly removed when eating.

Where can I find hundreds of salivary grass?There are almost all Kunlun practice schools with enchantment caves. It is the most common kind of spiritual plant in the medicine field of Dongtian Paradise, especially the Zhongnan school has the most.

The Dongtian Dojo of the Zhongnan Sect is in the Tailao Spiritual Realm, which has been planted in the medicine fields built since ancient times, and there are even many natural growing weeds in the mountains outside the dojo.

Ordinary people's rice is made of rice. Some people once jokingly called Baisialcao the rice eaten by monks. It is rich in spiritual energy and almost leaves no residue. Taking it all year round can help refine the shape and return the five qi to the original. The victory lies in the large quantity.

It is said that in the so-called West Kunlun, that is, in the fairyland of Kunlun, which has become a cave since ancient times, there are many places where weeds are long-lived. Given the vastness of the Kunlun wonderland, hesperia is not a rare thing, but it is rare for ordinary people to see it.

Although the system didn't say it clearly, it was equivalent to telling Hua Zhenxing that he could buy Baisaliva Valley from the Kunlun practice community, and he didn't even need to go to each sect one by one, he could entrust the Kunlun League to be the general agent.

Hua Zhenxing can also ask the monks of the Eastern Kingdom how to build medicine fields and cultivate spiritual plants, and try to grow Baisialia in his own cave.

The prescription provided by the system only introduces the five-flavored elixir, but does not introduce its efficacy and refining method. Obviously, it is for Hua Zhenxing to figure it out by himself.

With Hua Zhenxing's current level of refining medicine, if these are still unsure, let alone mastering the pill formula thoroughly, the content provided by the system is already enough.

These five elixir are not produced in the Black Desolation Continent, but they seem to be found in the Eastern Kingdom. Among them, Bai Yuti is going to ask Ding Qi, and Teacher Ding Qi is also in the Eastern Kingdom.It seems that the system also knows that he is going to Dongguo to go to university, so he will take care of it by the way.

Although the specific effects and refining methods are not introduced, this pill recipe is much more complicated than the brief description above. Hua Zhenxing closed his eyes for a long time, trying to understand it thoroughly, but when he finally opened his eyes, he was startled .

Old man Yang was standing very close in front of him, looking at him face to face.He jumped back about two feet, passed the stone table in the backyard in the air and landed beside the lychee tree, and called out: "Mr. Yang, why are you so elusive?"

Yang Tehong: "I stepped on your tail, why did you jump so high?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I didn't feel you coming in at all. I suddenly saw you staring at me. Who wouldn't be startled?"

Yang Tehong: "That's because your cultivation level is not good enough. My old man has been watching you for a long time. You have to open your eyes to find out?"

Hua Zhenxing: "This is because your old cultivation base is too high, and I was a little distracted, so I didn't notice it. You came just in time. I have something to ask for advice! Huang Yunxiang, Feng Shishuang, Qinger San, Baisialu, Baiyu Have you ever heard of these kinds of elixir?"

Old man Yang walked across the stone table and looked at Hua Zhenxing with a very strange look: "Why are you suddenly interested in chewing gum? Haven't you been practicing in closed doors recently? Could it be that you are practicing some new technology?"

Hua Zhenxing was confused: "What does this have to do with chewing gum?"

After Old Man Yang explained, Hua Zhenxing finally understood.In fact, the five flavors of elixir used in the prescription are all elixir developed by Kunlun monks since ancient times, each of which has different spiritual effects to help spiritual practice.

Some elixirs are very common and almost everyone knows them in the practice world. For example, Hundred Saliva Valley is the grain of Hundred Saliva Grass.White jade hoof is a kind of spiritual plant in the cave, which is difficult for ordinary people to see. On some occasions, it is the melon and fruit that the masters of the immortal family entertain friends and friends.

Qinger San is relatively unpopular. It is the fungus that grows on the live stump of the century-old green sandalwood.Now that the system has indicated that it can be found in Wucheng, the Eastern Kingdom, let Hua Zhenxing go find it by himself and then study it. Old man Yang didn't say much.

As for the other two elixirs, Feng Shishuang and Huang Yunxiang, they were all related to chewing gum.

The raw material of Fengshishuang is chico gum, so you don't need to pick it yourself, you can just place an order and buy it in the market.Chico gum is the sap of the elm, also known as the sapodilla tree, and its fruit is heart-shaped in cross section, which is quite delicious.

In the earliest days, chico gum was used to make chewing gum.The chewing gum made of chico gum has a unique fragrance and can be eaten after chewing.

Even if you don't eat it and spit it out, it is easy to degrade, and it doesn't pollute the environment like chewing gum later.

However, the cost of producing chewing gum from chico gum was too high, and its supply was limited. Later, the base of chewing gum in the world was changed to synthetic resin, which is what people chew now.

Was the earliest chewing gum in human history made of chico gum?no!According to well-documented records, chewing gum has been popular since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it will only appear earlier.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a thing that could make the breath fragrant when contained in the mouth. Many nobles liked to use it. Some ministers and emperors contained it when they performed affairs. It was actually the fruit of the mother lilac tree.

The raw material of rue yellow is this thing, which is called mother tongue incense, also known as sparrow tongue incense or mother clove.

Hua Zhenxing couldn't help sighing after listening: "Mr. Yang, you are so knowledgeable!"

Old man Yang held his left hand behind his back and gently twirled his beard with his right hand. He looked a little smug, but squinted his eyes and said, "Xiaohua, don't flatter me. Why did you suddenly start studying Huang Yunxiang? What's wrong with you?"

Hua Zhenxing: "What kind of crooked mind, why can't I understand? This is the task reward of the system, and it gave me a brand-new Wuqi Dandan formula."

Old man Yang: "Let's talk about the fragrance of this mother's tongue. If it is crushed into powder, its essential oil can be used as medicine after cold extraction. It can not only cure spleen and stomach deficiency, but also have the effect of nourishing kidney and yang."

Hua Zhenxing: "Ah, is that so? I haven't seen the real thing yet, it seems that it is really an aphrodisiac."

The so-called aphrodisiac in Chunrong Dan's prescription has a different meaning from the aphrodisiac that ordinary people understand, but judging from the efficacy of this herb, it has achieved the perfect unity of this aphrodisiac and that aphrodisiac.

Yang Tehong raised his face again and said: "What I just said was the common preparation of Mutongxiang, but Huangruixiang is different. It is Mutongxiang refined and processed by the method of spiritual consciousness, and the medicinal effect is too strong. Strong effect is called poison.

So for ordinary people, rue yellow is poisonous.If you accidentally eat it, it will cause blood pressure to rise, heartbeat to speed up, and even blood vessels to burst and seven orifices to bleed to death.Especially men, can't take it at all, it's better not to touch it. "

Hua Zhenxing had a spirit of research, and asked in a low voice: "It is necessary to talk about the dose of poison, if the dose is well controlled, how about just taking it in a small amount?"

Old man Yang: "That's not good, it will cause a burden on the cardiovascular system, long-term use will cause disease, and this thing is also addictive, you can't touch it!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Then you said just now that the five-flavored ingredients I mentioned are all elixir used by monks since ancient times."

Old man Yang: "I'm right. Huang Yunxiang is the elixir used by monks, and it is only used in suitable situations. It is poison to ordinary people. Many elixir refined by monks have this feature, so Chun Rongdan was very special.

In ancient times, some people practiced inner alchemy and used Huang Yunxiang to refine and transform qi, but that was just a slight introduction, just a little use.

But some monks are very outrageous. They use rue yellow mixed with wood powder to make incense sticks or coils, and light them in the quiet room, exclusively for the so-called sexual pleasure during the so-called double cultivation. "

It was the first time for Hua Zhenxing to hear old man Yang talk about this kind of problem, and he couldn't help but asked again: "Is the so-called double cultivation all methods of obscenity?"

Old Man Yang: "That's not true."

Hua Zhenxing: "How can it be considered, how can it be considered not?"

Old man Yang: "I told you what a demon is. If you are a furnace for each other, and each other collects benefits, then it is not an evil way. The beauty of having both desires and pleasures is just to add fun.

If it is unilaterally taking supplements, only picking others to supplement oneself, but not beneficial to others or even harmful to others, blindly indulging in lust and prostitution, then it is a proper way of evil spirits.If you meet, clean it up if you can! "

Hua Zhenxing nodded: "Oh, I understand a little bit. If it is a serious double cultivation, it means what Uncle Mo said of 'love each other and benefit each other'?"

Old man Yang was twirling his beard. He almost pulled some of his beard off with a shake of his hand. He glared and said, "What do you understand? You are such a big man, you don't understand at all!"
