Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 45

To Li Yunsheng's surprise, Jiang Baicao wasn't too surprised when he heard his name, and he didn't punish Li Yunsheng for trespassing on the alchemy room. Send him out of Baicaotang.

But what Li Yunsheng didn't know was that this old man, who never liked to walk around, went to Baiyun Temple that night and found Yang Wanli.

Yang Wanli warmed a pot of old wine with a small clay stove, fried a plate of fennel beans, and the two chatted with each sip of old wine and anise beans.

"You know what he messed with the little girl of the Sang family a few days ago?"

Jiang Baicao put down his glass and asked casually.

"I know, kids are just messing around."

Yang Wanli was already slightly drunk, but he still didn't want to put down his glass.

"Heh... That's not fooling around. A single thought set off a blizzard in the mountains of Qiushui. I hope that there will be more disciples who can fool around like this in Qiushui." Jiang Baicao's face was first ridiculed and then disappointed.

"Tsk tsk, I can't afford to support this kind of disciple. A bottle of soul-suppressing water for one thought. No matter how big the family is, Qiushui can't afford it. This little girl from the Sang family is really big-hearted. She seems to be used to living a rich life. How can you understand the suffering of us small families."

"Then you also know what happened when he came to our Baicao Hall today?"

"I didn't know at first, but since you're here, I probably knew."

"It's an old fox."

"You're the old fox, right? You specially asked your granddaughter to bring something here, didn't you just want me to ask Yun Sheng to return the gift for you? You planned the rest of this, right?"

"Where do I have this ability?"

"I don't know if this kind of ability exists, but the elixir in Jiang Baicao's stove can change this kind of thing, and no one will believe it if I tell it."

"Tigers also nap sometimes."

"You are much stronger than a tiger."

"I can't talk to you. Sigh... Who knew that the dumb and speechless master of Baiyun Temple could be so eloquent?"

"I can't say enough about you."

The two laughed loudly, and the energy gathered was drank in one gulp.

"Give it to me."

Finally, Jiang Baicao expressed the purpose of his trip, his words were sincere, and there was a hint of pleading.

"No."

Yang Wanli refused decisively.

"Why? Such a good seedling, why let him follow you to farm? This is a waste of money!"

Jiang Baicao was a little excited.

Seeing Yang Wanli's silence, Jiang Baicao continued:
"Brother Yang, I'm old, I'm really old. Since last year, I can clearly feel that my soul is burning and consuming little by little. I used to think that the days of cultivators are very long, so I didn't rush It’s too late to find the disciple who inherited my mantle, but I’m not reconciled, the thoughts in my head, the thoughts in my head, are about to come to naught, I’m not reconciled, I need someone to help me complete it it."

The fire in the room went out at some point, making Jiang Baicao's words particularly desolate.

"Jiang Baicao, aren't your words too selfish?"

Finally Yang Wanli spoke.

He walked over and filled the stove with a handful of charcoal, then sat down in front of Jiang Baicao again:
"Other people don't know the consequences of alchemy and learning talismans without rooted celestial veins, but you don't know? Ordinary practitioners lose vitality when making alchemy and making talismans, but life energy is consumed by rootless celestial veins!"

As I said before, there used to be a wave of recruiting Wugen Xianmai disciples in the Immortal Mansion. When the craze dissipated, everyone blamed the rootless Xianmai's inability to form alchemy and Qi training, and in the end they couldn't increase their lifespan and couldn't cultivate.

But those who know the inside story know that this is not the main reason.

Rootless celestial veins cannot practice qi to transform gods, but they can still refine alchemy to make talismans, but in fact, there are very few rootless celestial veins that can refine alchemy to make talismans.

First of all, the talisman masters have extremely high requirements on the bloodlines and physique of the cultivators. Most of the talisman masters are descended from the blood, just like the Sang family where Sang Xiaoman belongs.But alchemy is more demanding, not to mention a powerful soul, but also a mysterious "savvy". Without understanding, even a top-grade celestial vein qualification may not be able to enter the eyes of Jiang Baicao.

Li Yunsheng is a special case of a rootless celestial vein.

In the Immortal Mansion back then, there were special cases like Li Yunsheng, and the qualifications of this special case were no worse than Li Yunsheng.

But the result was that this rootless immortal disciple who wanted to become an alchemist only lived to be 20 years old.

This is the second reason why rootless immortal veins cannot make alchemy.

"Why not? If he can be inherited by me, even if he lives ten or twenty years less? Have you ever heard that you can die in the morning? It's better to die clearly than to live in such a muddle!"

Jiang Baicao suddenly became excited.

"You're crazy."

"I do not have!"

"I am his master, I disagree."

The argument ended with the two getting very drunk.

On the second day, Jiang Baicao got up and went straight back to Baicao Hall as if he had forgotten what he said last night, and Yang Wanli called Li Lan.

"Lao Liu is learning talismans recently."

Yang Wanli said straight to the point.

"I know that."

"I know you still don't care about him!"

"I see that he is very happy to learn, and I can't bear it."

Li Lan sighed.

"Go and talk to him. It's not to make him stop learning. You just want him to understand the pros and cons. Everything must be done in moderation. But if he also thinks that he will die every day, I won't stop him. he goes."

In fact, Li Yunsheng has already noticed the changes in his body without Li Lan saying it.

He used to go to bed early and get up early, but he didn't get up until noon today. He just felt weak and watered the old pagoda tree, and then sat at the table by the window and looked at the old pagoda tree in a daze, not wanting to do anything.

"Am I old?"

Li Yunsheng suddenly asked himself, he was startled by his own thought, how could he be old when he was only 14 years old?He wanted to be sensitive, and only felt that this thought might be a warning from his body. He remembered the first time he drew a talisman and the severe pain in his head when he kept the pill yesterday.

At this moment, Li Lan came in without knocking.

"In this winter, it's comfortable to sit alone by the stove in a daze. You really know the way to keep yourself healthy, Lao Liu."

As Li Lan spoke, he moved a chair and sat down next to Li Yunsheng.

"Senior brother, why are you willing to go out?"

Looking at Li Lan, Li Yunsheng asked a little strangely, he hadn't seen this third senior brother much since the beginning of winter.

"I heard that you are learning talismans?"

Li Lan didn't answer Li Yunsheng's question, but asked directly.

"Yes."

Li Yunsheng didn't hide it either.

"Stop learning."

Li Lan is still very direct.

"Why?"

"It will damage your lifespan, and you will die early."

Li Lan picked up a quilt by himself, picked up the teapot from the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and then said: "For practitioners, practicing Qi to transform into a god is the basis of all other spells. This foundation does not mean that only practicing Qi Transformation into God is the only way to practice other spells, and it is the basis for the soul consumed by other spells to be replenished by practicing Qi Transformation into God."

"Can't make up for it?"

Li Yunsheng already understood why Li Lan came here, and also understood why he felt uncomfortable these few days.

"If you can't make up for it, if you practice it forcibly, you will definitely lose your lifespan. Aren't there many blind and lame people who can tell fortunes in your secular world? This is also a kind of shortened lifespan."

"I remember that Sang Xiaoman has a potion that can restore the soul."

Since it can't repair itself, can it rely on external force?Li Yunsheng thought so.

"Do you know how much that small bottle is? Five thousand catties of immortal food, and there is no market for it."

"So, expensive?"

Hearing this, Li Yunsheng was speechless.

"The point is, this can only play an analgesic effect on those without rooted celestial veins. The problem of damage to the root of the soul has not been solved, and it still needs to lose life. I think it took at least a year for you to call the soul. Shouyuan."

Li Lan was not alarmist. Li Yunsheng's action was not simply a waste of soul.

"Then I won't study."

Li Lan collected some more arguments in his mind, and was about to continue to persuade Li Yunsheng, but he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to agree.

Li Yunsheng agreed so decisively, which surprised Li Lan.

"Why did you figure it out so quickly?"

"Amulets and elixirs are both available for purchase. Instead of losing your longevity and drawing them yourself, it's better to make more money and buy them yourself."

This is a very practical statement, but Li Lan couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Li Yunsheng is indeed not the kind of dead-brained person, he will not do things like throwing his life away before he has learned something.

Even at this moment, he was still a little scared, if Li Lan hadn't come to tell him how would he know this?Maybe, one day, with a flash of brain, I draw a third-level talisman desperately, and then die, it's really not worth it.

If Yang Wanli and Li Lan had known in advance what Li Yunsheng was thinking, they wouldn't have hesitated to decide whether to come and warn him.

"Actually, it's not impossible to learn at all. The key is the speed. The daily consumption of the soul does not exceed this speed. If it is a first-level or second-level ink talisman that does not consume a lot of soul, it is fine to draw two or three pieces a day. This consumption Eat more fairy food to replenish it."

Not to mention Li Yunsheng himself, even Li Lan felt it was a pity. He had seen Li Yunsheng's actions these days. God-given spirit and enlightened Taoist heart, this is a talent that many people can't envy?But these two kinds of physiques are extremely soul-consuming, but the master is a rootless immortal.

"God is really ironic. I gave you the best, but took away your most important. What's the difference between giving and not giving?"

With this in mind, Li Lan said goodbye to Li Yunsheng. When he parted, he specifically told Li Yunsheng not to neglect the practice of Tiger Fist and Walking Cloud Step.

Because the Qiushui sword test conference will start in a few months.
