If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 41 Absolute Heaven and Earth Communication

Can I refine other elixirs myself?This question is really a question that does not need to be answered for Zhu Zhanqi.

In the elixir room of Cave Sky Gourd, he kept the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years. Any one of those elixirs could break the head of today's Ming Dynasty, or even be the top elixir that started a war of subjugation and genocide.

After all, an elixir that can be collected by a real person and stored for hundreds of years is already extraordinary. Even in the world of cultivating immortals, it is a good thing that can attract various forces to compete for it.

For the mortal kingdom, it is a good thing that the superiors can only desire.

Even in the world of cultivating immortals, there are still mortal nations that have been driven to extinction in order to compete for a pill that can extend life or 'become an immortal'.

Of course, for Ming Dynasty, which had no cultivation foundation or system at all, any pill in Zhu Zhanqi's alchemy room was a so-called 'poison', the kind that would explode into brilliant fireworks if eaten.

There are many elixirs in the elixir room of Dongtian Gourd that ordinary monks would not dare to eat casually. Many of them are even specially used by monks with golden elixir or above. If monks who are less than golden elixir take it, they will explode because they cannot digest the medicine. And die, let alone a mortal.

However, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are also some alchemists who consider the elixir to be taken by mortals, and deliberately adjust the formula of the elixir so that the refined elixir can also be taken by mortals.

Zhu Zhanquan was also involved in this area, but when he was in the world of cultivating immortals, he basically made elixirs for his own use or for storage. He had never refined elixirs specifically for mortals.

So facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Zhu Zhanjun thought for a while and replied: "I do know how to refine other elixirs, but most of the real elixirs need to be refined with spiritual objects, but these things are Hard to find in the world.

Although it is not impossible to find it, it still requires an exhaustive search all over the world. This is not a blessing for the country. "

"Is the so-called external elixir technique of Taoism fake? But didn't Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty refine the elixir and become an immortal?" At this time, the imperial doctor on the side heard Zhu Zhanqi saying that it is difficult to find spiritual objects in the world to make elixirs. , suddenly showed a look of disbelief and disappointment.

Originally, when the imperial doctor learned that Zhu Zhanquan knew how to make elixirs, the first thing he thought of was the elixirs recorded in ancient books that could make people attain immortality and ascend in the daytime.

He originally thought that he could learn a few moves from Zhu Zhanqun, and then go back and refine some elixirs to offer to Zhu Di, so as to gain a wife.

What's even worse, if you swallow a spiritual pill and ascend to heaven, become an immortal and become an ancestor, and live freely, wouldn't it be much better than pursuing meritorious deeds in the human world?
However, now Zhu Zhanquan said that it is difficult to find spiritual objects to make elixirs in the world. His little ambition died before it was sown. How can people not be disappointed?
Zhu Zhanju glanced at the imperial doctor in surprise. He did not expect that the other party would care so much about this matter. However, he looked at the other side, Zhu Gaochi and his wife, Zhu Zhanji, who were also very concerned about this matter, and Yao Guangxiao, who was also very concerned about it. , Zhu Zhanyu couldn't help but shook his head.

"This matter is complicated to talk about. I'm afraid we have to start with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors." Although the timing was not quite right, Zhu Zhanquan decided to throw out the rhetoric he had already thought of: "In ancient times, humans and gods mixed together, which caused the The world was in chaos. The human emperor Zhuanxu cut off the communication between heaven and earth, cutting off the communication between humans and gods, allowing humans and gods to take their own duties and live in their own places, but at the same time, he also cut off the communication between heaven and earth.

After thousands of years of time, the communication between the human world and the heaven was gradually cut off. The original rituals of praying to the gods through sacrifices also changed with the passage of time and the rise of Confucianism and Taoism. It also has the effect of reaching heaven.Even the human world itself is suffering due to the increasing population of mortals. The smoke and fire in the mortal world have caused the spiritual energy to fade and the supernatural beings to disappear. In Ge Hong's era, it was possible to find spiritual objects that could be used as medicine in famous mountains and rivers, but for today's Ming Dynasty , it would be extremely difficult to find a spiritual object that could refine elixirs. "

"According to what you said, second brother, it means that if you want to become an immortal, you must escape from the world of mortals and go to remote mountains and old forests that are inaccessible?" Zhu Zhanji showed some confusion. He also wanted to become an immortal, but if becoming an immortal means Giving up the almost certain throne in the future and becoming a hermit in the mountains and forests is not what he wants.

Or for people like them, longevity and wealth are what they want.

Facing Zhu Zhanji's question, Zhu Zhanji just smiled and did not answer. Instead, he ordered him to open another batch of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment for him.

Everyone thought that Zhu Zhanjun did not want to answer this question, so they did not continue to ask further.

The second batch of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment was still refined very smoothly, and because this time live tigers were used as medicine, the efficacy was a bit better than the previous batch, and even the quality was not on the same level.

Putting two boxes of ointment together, you can clearly see that one of them is bright red in color. Just smelling the fragrance of the ointment makes people feel like their blood is surging and the blood flow in the whole body is accelerated.

But the color of the other box is obviously darker. Although it also exudes a medicinal fragrance like orchid and musk, it obviously does not have the medicinal effect of making people's heart beat faster just by smelling it.

The second furnace of Qianyuan Marrow-Strengthening Ointment came out, and it was getting dark. Zhu Zhanquan did not continue to open the furnace. He just ordered people to clean up the yard and ended today's alchemy.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanqun had finished refining alchemy, the others left his yard with some unfinished content. After being roasted by the fire for a day, everyone was a little tired and wanted to rest early today.

When Zhu Zhanjun returned to the study and asked Hu Shanxiang to prepare a bath for him, a table of food had already been served.

Sitting at the table and eating, Zhu Zhanqi looked at Hu Shanxiang who was standing aside. After thinking about it, he took out the box of Qianyuan Zhuangmui ointment that was not good enough and said to Hu Shanxiang: "This box of medicine is for you. , starting from tomorrow, you take one spoonful every morning and then practice martial arts with me."

Hu Shanxiang looked at the jade box handed to him, and took a step back with some fear: "I dare not take such a magical medicine! Your Highness still..."

"Just let me take it. As a person in my room, if you don't have some skills, others will think that I don't know how to train people." Zhu Zhanquan waved his hand and asked Hu Shanxiang to accept the box. After taking the medicine, he immediately said: "The formula I taught you before is a method of cultivation, but if you want to get started, you need to lay a good foundation. This box of medicine is to lay the foundation for you."

Hearing what Zhu Zhanchun said, Hu Shanxiang felt as if he had been hit by a pie from the sky. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude to him, and at the same time, he respected Zhu Zhanchun more and more in his heart.
