From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 197: Fish Noodle House Opens

Treasure gourds are mostly used to store elixirs, so that the elixirs won’t lose their spiritual properties over time and become useless.

In the past, in order to preserve the elixir for a long time, alchemists were also worried about losing a lot of hair, so they came up with wax seals, oil seals, water seals, etc.

In order to lock the spiritual energy of the elixir, the alchemists have been studying it for a long time and have created many magical instruments and treasures.

Yu Shuyang dumped his fellow apprentices Li Taiping, Tu Liu, and Yun Hua beside the pond, and then went to see what treasures were in the treasure gourd.

The lid of the large yellow gourd was opened and remained open for a while, but no air came out. Usually, a treasure gourd that has not been opened for a long time will release the pent-up elixir energy once it is opened.

Take the big gourd and shake it, then pour out a pill and have a look. The treasure gourd is made of a treasure weapon, which can isolate the mind from detection. It is said that the Xianmen Casino also makes gambling tools according to this method.

A black square was poured into Yu Shuyang's hand, and he was stunned. The final result of elixir refining was round pills. Why was this a square?

Then Yu Shuyang poured another one, which was still a square piece, the size of a thumb. He continued to pour without believing it.

He emptied the treasure gourd one hundred and three times in a row, leaving only one hundred black square blocks and two pills, one black and one red.

The last one is a piece of white jade that is as long as a finger and as wide as a thumb. On the front is written "pounding the moon" in ancient script, and on the back is a picture of a moon snake and a moon rabbit pounding a moon toad.

This picture has a true intention, and anyone who sees it can understand that it depicts a moon snake, a moon rabbit, and a moon toad, and the content means pounding medicine to achieve immortality.

This is also a traditional pattern of alchemists - the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine. The difference is that in this picture, the back of the moon toad is used as the mortar for holding the medicine, and the moon snake is used as the pestle for pounding the medicine.

Fortunately, Yu Shuyang was not ignorant. This true picture gathered the three Taiyin beasts, which was clearly the Taiyin Longevity Picture.

The true intention is not only to let people know the mythical beast in the picture, but the most important thing is the inheritance of Dharma, which is the same as the inheritance of true seed.

At the beginning, Yu Shuyang received a longevity seed from Li Zhen, supposedly to comprehend the longevity magical power. Unfortunately, when he broke through to the ninth level, he accidentally became connected with Wenquxing, and was sacrificed by the creation of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, he did not suffer any loss, as Wenquxing entered his fate and brought with him the inheritance of literary fortune - the Eight Spiritual Texts, which was of great help to him in refining treasures and refining techniques.

In this true intention, the Jade Rabbit inheritance has been inherited, and only the Moon Snake and Moon Toad are left. Yu Shuyang didn't care about that anymore, and just released his mind to comprehend and interpret them one by one.

The Eight Spiritual Texts are the Five Elements and Three Stars. He has mastered all of the Moon Spiritual Texts. Comprehending the true meaning of the Moon Snake and Moon Toad is like filling in the blanks with the answers.

But it only took a quarter of an hour to decipher it all. It was indeed the method of alchemy. The Moon Snake was the water alchemy method, and the Moon Toad was the air alchemy method.

Thinking in this way, the true meaning of the Jade Rabbit is the method of refining elixir with fire.

Yu Shuyang did not feel regretful about the lack of the fire alchemy method. When he was learning sword in his previous life, he often encountered incomplete sword moves, which were very exquisite. He often sighed with regret for the incompleteness.

Later, with the guidance of the sword master in the sect, he finally understood a truth: it was not that the sword moves were incomplete, but that after years of refinement, the only true knowledge and insights left were these moves and half of them.

Thus, we understand the original intention of killing of the two yin and yang. The heaven and the earth are incomplete, so life continues. The two yin and yang cling to their imperfections, so the movement and stillness of yin and yang continue to kill.

He also knew what the things in the gourd were. The one hundred black blocks were called an ink pool. If he found a water vein and put them into it, he could make a water pool.

There is a treasure ban in each block. When they are put together, you can get a humane treasure comparable to a magic weapon - the Hundred Turtle Ink Pool.

The red and black pills are not for eating. Like the Hundred Turtle Ink Pool, they are also a humane treasure - the Qiankun Mysterious Gourd.

Refining this magic gourd is also very simple. You only need to take a spiritual gourd, put two pills into it, fill it with clean water and shake it three times left and right, and the treasure ban will automatically refine the gourd into a magic weapon.

Yu Shuyang threw the square block into the pool of water, and saw that the square block sank into the water. Soon a small black turtle emerged from the bottom of the water.

After a while, all one hundred black turtles surfaced and automatically divided into two waves, with fifty on each side, huddled together close to each other.

I don't know which one was squeezed and the ink leaked out, but it dyed the pool water black in an instant. Soon the dark water surface seemed to be boiling, bubbling with bubbles.

The black pool also shrank inward, and finally became as small as the size of a palm. It suddenly jumped out of the water like a toad jumping out of the water.

Yu Shuyang reached out and took it. It was a piece of black jade about the size of a brick, with a perfectly round ink pool in the middle and fifty ink turtles carved on each side.

This is the Hundred Turtle Ink Pool. The ink turtles on the left and right sides can collect spiritual water, true water, and magic water. The ink pool in the middle can be used to grind water from the Moon-beating Water Fly, and to refine elixirs with water.

At this time, he did not have the spiritual water gourd in his hand, so he put the two black and red pills back into the treasure gourd and put them back into the magic bag.

There are three kinds of spiritual water in the pool of water at the moment. He collected one of each and refined them into the black turtle. They are the nectar pure water enlightened by two real water beads, the earth turbid yin water, and the wood spirit spring water.

When he finished casting the spell, his three junior brothers Li Taiping, Tu Liu and Yun Hua were still unconscious. He checked each of them and found their pulses were steady and strong, but they were still unconscious.

Yu Shuyang was at a loss for a moment, so he squatted by the pond and waited. He really didn't expect that the spell cast with the righteous rhythm of the Great Dao would be so powerful.

About three days later, Junior Brother Li Taiping suddenly woke up, his mouth wide open, gasping for breath. "Brother, did you cast some kind of spell? I felt like I was losing consciousness after hearing you speak?" Li Taiping asked.

Yu Shuyang smiled awkwardly at first, and then hurriedly talked about the Hu character spell, the righteous rhyme of the Tao, and the treasure gourd. He really didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"The incantation? Could it be a technique to summon a god? No, hearing this incantation makes me fall into a coma. This is the feeling that only comes from having my five senses taken away.

"Brother, your spell is incredibly powerful. It's very similar to an ancient witch spell. When you're against an enemy, if you catch them by surprise, it will definitely be incredibly effective."

As Li Taiping spoke, he recalled the feeling of being cursed. His mind was in a state of confusion and his five senses were unclear. He looked like he was in a coma, but in fact he was trapped by the curse. He did not wake up until the curse power dissipated.

"Junior brother, you three were cursed at the same time, why haven't they woken up yet?" Yu Shuyang asked with concern.

Even though he could perform the "Hu" spell, he didn't know what it felt like to be cursed, let alone how to break the curse. Fortunately, Li Taiping had been cursed once and had personal experience, so he might have a way.

"Brother, this person has been under the curse of the word 'Hu'. His mind has been infected by the curse power, and his five senses have been taken away, which is why he fell into a coma. To break the curse, we can only dispel the curse power."

Li Taiping tried to find a solution based on his own personal experience, but seeing his senior brother's troubled face, he knew that he couldn't dispel the curse either.

"Brother, if you can't dispel the curse, just wait for them to slowly wake up. Luckily, they are both earth and wood demons, so they won't starve to death even if they don't eat for ten days or half a month."

Yu Shuyang was helpless after hearing this and said, "Junior brother, I just told you that the treasure gourds are black and red pills. When the gourds you plant grow up, remember to leave one for me."

"Don't worry, brother. One gourd vine can produce hundreds of gourds. We will have no shortage of gourds. But I have to trouble you with one thing.

I have a few recipes for spirit wine and some very rare spirit herbs. Since you have learned the method of refining Qi into pills, why don't you help me make a few pills for spirit wine?"

Li Taiping inherited a skill of brewing health-preserving wine from his ancestors, but some elixirs have been hard to find since ancient times.

At present, my senior brother has inherited two alchemy skills, especially the method of refining Qi into pills. It is not restricted by spiritual medicines. He only needs to collect the corresponding spiritual Qi and spiritual evil, and then combine them with the Gang Qi to refine Qi pills.

"Junior brother, I haven't refined a single batch of pills yet. There's no need to rush. Once I learn how to make them, I'll definitely make wine pills for you." Yu Shuyang said with a smile.

To be honest, he was not keen on the method of alchemy. He was different from the wild monsters who had no inheritance. The Black Turtle Water Method, the Two-Polarity Killing Sword Method, and the Eight Wind Curse were enough for him to practice.

Although the old saying goes that many skills are always better than none, one must also specialize in one. Perhaps he could raise two more alchemy boys, just like Tu Liu and Yuan Hua helped him to refine the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword.

Thinking of this, he felt troubled again. It was easy to cultivate a water spirit, but where could he find an air spirit? Or he could use a wind spirit instead. In this case, he would have to build a wind valley.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang discussed it with his junior brother Li Taiping again. His junior brother was a know-it-all and most of the problems he encountered could be solved by asking him for advice.

Li Taiping was silent at first, thinking for a quarter of an hour, and then he said: "Brother, since you can raise the candle spirit Wanjia, it should not be difficult to follow your example and raise a water spirit in the water vein.

This wind spirit is the same as the cloud spirit and the mist spirit. It takes years of accumulated wind and clouds to raise a wind spirit. The best way is to catch the wind.

Isn't the robe you're wearing just a wind-catching net? Or maybe you can ask the Sea Spider family. I heard there's a way to catch the wind and refine wind treasures on the sea."

After listening to his junior brother's advice, Yu Shuyang also remembered that when he first rode the treasure ship, he saw the cloud spirit on the cloud road and joked with Li Zhen that he would capture it to refine magic.

At that time, Li Zhen reminded him that there were nineteen layers of cloud ban in the sky, in which lived many cloud spirits, some of whom had cultivated to a level higher than the third rank.

If you dare to capture the cloud refining method, a cloud monster will come out and overturn the treasure ship from the cloud road, causing you to fall to your death.

Later he talked about catching wind spirits at sea, saying that the climate at sea is changeable and a storm eye may appear at any time, and wind spirits can be caught and refined.

Thinking of this, he felt that there was indeed a way to this matter. He would ask Li Zhen when he met him that day. Then he remembered that he had been here for three days.

"Junior brother, you stay here and look after them. I have to go over to Qianzhang Cliff to help." Yu Shuyang remembered belatedly.

A few days ago, he took the wind to Qianzhang Cliff and helped use the Xuanming True Water Pearl to cast a spell to bring down a field of turbid and rainy water, turning wood chips and fallen leaves into rotten soil.

Originally, he thought that he would go there in two days to help cast a spell and send down some sweet dew to help the growth of cliff cypress and rock pine.

He asked the Water Silk Spider Factory to be rebuilt quickly so that his family would never have to return to the cave, and he also asked for some help from Yu's father to avoid conscripting his men that day.

Yu Shuyang took out the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell, cast a spell, and flew up into the sky, heading straight for the Wuhui Cave on Qianzhang Cliff.

He had just flown out of the Five Directions Five Stone Gate and hadn't flown more than two miles.

Then he heard Li Zhen shouting, "Cousin, my aunt's noodle shop is open, do you want to go?"

　There will be more later. Today's update is late because the light at home broke last night. I went out to buy a light bulb this morning.
