Our cultivator in the village

Chapter 31
Wei Jiang wasted a few more medicinal materials this day, and the spirit stone was replaced with a low-grade spirit stone. This Qi Gathering Pill has never been refined.No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to show off in front of Jingru, so he went to Xiao Tianqing for advice early on.

Seeing his listless head, Xiao Tianqing guessed that he was not successful in alchemy, so she asked about the process.

After listening to what Wei Jiang said, Xiao Tianqing said in surprise: "It's not that the furnace was blown up, why are you so frustrated, who can make the first batch of pills?"

Wei Jiang said with a bitter face: "The mid-grade spirit stone is gone."

Xiao Tianqing rolled his eyes at him, and explained in detail how the energy-gathering pill was formulated, how it was added and subtracted, and the order in which the medicinal materials were put into the cauldron, when the elixir should be roasted, when the spirit stone should be forged, and how much should be transported at the moment of forming the pill. The spirit of true spirit, I talked about it in detail.

Wei Jiang shook his head after hearing this: "Sister Qing'er, I always do this, why can't I get the pill?"

Xiao Tianqing shook her head: "I can't explain this. If the alchemy method is difficult, it is difficult here. The so-called 'in the heart, it is difficult to understand the alchemy'. In fact, the alchemy methods are all written on paper, but there are always people who have been there for several months. , or even a single pill can't be refined for several years, so you can't be an alchemist."

Suddenly Xiao Tianqing laughed loudly, and continued: "For example, Senior Brother Song Shao."

Wei Jiang asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Song?"

Xiao Tianqing covered her mouth and said: "Brother Song is number one in Tianxin Peak in terms of cultivation, and he is also a big disciple of Tianxin Peak, but for some reason, he still can't learn alchemy."

Xiao Tianqing stretched out a white finger, and asked while holding her chin: "I heard that you broke the latch of Tianxin Peak with a single punch. With your brute strength, I think it's more suitable for you to learn forging the real art." !"

Wei Jiang shook his head, and said: "Stop learning halfway through, so you don't have to be ridiculed." Then he muttered: "Also, when you meet Luo Guantong in the future, don't pretend to be a grandson!"

Xiao Tianqing frowned and said, "Whatever I tell you, you will refer to Brother Luo! If you continue to do this, don't ask me about alchemy in the future."

Wei Jiang then asked: "Then how did you feel when you became a pill for the first time?"

Xiao Tianqing replied: "It's very mysterious, it seems that there is a connection between me and Pill Furnace, just like between me and Xi Yujian." She shook her head: "I can't explain this feeling, and I can't tell you How did it come about, maybe the difficulty of alchemy is here, maybe you will have this feeling after practicing a few times."

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said: "Some people call this 'Gewu Zhizhi'. There is a valley in Tianxin Peak, and there is a bamboo forest in it. Go and draw a grid of bamboo, just think hard about the bamboo, why it is called bamboo. Why do you look like this, how you live, how you die... feel it hard, and if you feel it, your alchemy will be done!"

Wei Jiang snorted and said: "Bamboo is not a human being, so I'm going to be crazy."

Seeing that he called himself Lao Tzu, Xiao Tianqing put on a pretty face, and shouted: "Get lost, I can teach you so much. If you can't learn it, it's not that I'm not a good teacher, it's because you are really incapable!"

Weijiang was provoked, so he really went to look for the bamboo forest.

Bypassing the criss-crossing nursery and crossing a gurgling stream, you can see the green shadows of green bamboos whirling. The breeze blows the waves of the bamboo sea, making a hypnotic rustling sound. What a poetic and picturesque emerald green screen gallery, The green world where the sea and the sky are the same color!

Wei Jiang didn't know how to appreciate these things, so he praised: "It's spring, and fried bacon with bamboo shoots, it's delicious."

Before Weijiang started to cut bamboo, he heard a howl in the bamboo forest, a young disciple jumped up and down, shouting: "The pill is done, the pill is done!"

Wei Jiang saw that it was the little Taoist priest Xu Zhu who nearly kicked the alchemy furnace during alchemy last time.He grabbed Xu Zhu and asked: "What happened? What kind of epilepsy are you insane?"

Xu Zhu was overjoyed, he said: "Brother Jiang, I have made a pill, it's still a good pill with patterns!"

After saying that, Xu Zhu brought Weijiang to the bamboo forest stream, he saw a thick, heavy, short and dark alchemy stove with the lid off, a brown panacea in the ashes was smooth and round, and there was a faint blur on it. It has a golden thread.

Xu Zhu took out the spirit pill, held it in the palm of his hand, his face was full of light, he said: "It's still a magic pill, I'm afraid the Qi Gathering Pill made by Fairy Xiao is nothing more than this!"

Wei Jiang became interested, pulled the little Taoist priest and asked, "Then tell me how you made it?"

Xu Zhu scratched his head, he was a bit embarrassed, he said: "I really don't know, Brother Jiang."

Wei Jiang tugged at the little Taoist priest's ear, and said, "If you don't know it yourself, you will be able to practice it in the future? You have to remember it well!"

Xu Zhu was right when he thought about it, he pointed to a clump of bamboo and said: "Brother Jiang, do you think that counts?"

I saw an incense burner beside a clump of green bamboo, the embers in the incense burner were still alive, and there were some yellow papers with writing on the bamboo. After drawing the talisman, I burned a few sticks of incense first.

Wei Jiang looked as if he hated that iron could not be made into steel, and scolded: "Useless things! If you can burn a stick of high incense and read a few words of Infinite Heavenly Venerable to make alchemy, then isn't this alchemist crawling all over the ground?" Think about it."

Xu Zhu thought for a moment and said: "Brother Jiang, let me tell you, when I am making alchemy, besides following Master Jinghui's method, while doing alchemy... Suddenly I feel in a trance... Then I close my eyes... Feel the change of medicinal materials, feel the size of the fire... It seems that there is such a moment, even if I don't look at the pill furnace, I can know how hot it is now... Is the soul out of the body... I feel that the pill furnace is my body A part of it grows in my dantian..."

Xu Zhu chattered for a long time, and finally asked: "Does this count?"

Wei Jiang said: "Forget it, Fairy Xiao told me that too, but you didn't make it clear."

Wei Jiang often had this kind of mysterious feeling when he was practicing the Taisu Sun Moon Inspiration Art.The method of comprehension is to sense the heaven and the earth, to seek the ethereal feeling of the unity of man and nature.If you find the right rhythm, your spiritual consciousness will expand ten times and a hundred times. Wei Jiang doesn't know how others feel about this feeling, but he can sense it from time to time.

Could this be the so-called power of the soul?

Sometimes Wei Jiang thinks, the so-called cultivation, one is to cultivate the body, the other is to cultivate the soul, the two complement each other, there is me in you, and you in me, they cannot be completely separated, nor can they be completely mixed together.

This alchemy method may require the cultivation of the power of the soul.

After understanding this verse, Wei Jiang smiled and said to Xu Zhu: "Xu Zhu, you will look for this kind of feeling in alchemy in the future, if you can see things without eyes. If you don't get it, just take a sneak peek and close it again. I promise you that if you continue to practice like this, the alchemy will be successful."

Xu Zhu was stunned and said: "Brother Jiang, don't you lie to me!?"

According to Wei Jiang's plan, tomorrow is the day when Wei Jiang returns to Yunfeng.

In the evening, Wei Jiang didn't make any noise, and after the practice of Taisu Inspiration Jue was over, it was already the hour of Hai.

On this day, the moonlight is hazy, like a veil, like a mist, like a cloud, hanging on the trees, wrapping around the ridge of the roof, spreading over the mountain roads, and hiding in the grass, which makes people imagine infinitely.

Wei Jiang didn't have time to think about it, he punched the Vajra Body Protecting Fist once, and sweat dripped around him, it turned out that unconsciously, he also practiced the second form of this boxing "Smashing Jade Stance".

After Weijiang finished work, he felt comfortable all over his body, and he hadn't felt a leak for many days.

Wei Jiang looked at the sky and praised: "It's so comfortable!" Then he began to refine the pill.

The aftertaste of just entering the country has not yet passed.After only a moment, Wei Jiang sank into the artistic conception of forgetting things and me again, he concentrated his mind a little, and spread far away to gather his spiritual consciousness in this pill furnace.

Wei Jiang's eyes seem to be closed but not closed, and the traces of dryness, curling, and stripping of the herbs in the pill furnace are already clear to his chest; the pill fire suddenly rises, and a wisp of Wei Jiang's soul wanders into the spiritual flame, The flames danced randomly and without rhythm, seemingly out of order, but in fact they were all under his control. He did whatever he wanted, maintaining the most suitable level and temperature.

At this moment, he is the master of this alchemy furnace.

For a moment, Wei Jiang seemed to hear the happy breath of Danlu, the painful moan of Lingcao, and the mischievous joy of Flame.

Wei Jiang didn't read a single tactic or change his posture during the whole process.

In the dark, Wei Jiang felt that the dantian was the hearth, the fire in the heart was the spiritual flame, and this divine sense was a pair of big hands that manipulated all these.

The fragrance of the alchemy rose suddenly, Wei Jiang opened his eyes slightly, flicked his fingers, and when the furnace cover was opened, a Qi Gathering Pill, which was as red as Danzhu and with two stripes on it, lay quietly in the furnace, like a newborn baby. generally.
