Chapter 47: Training (1/2)

Er Gouzi returned to the mountain and began to tinker with the herbs he had bought.

At present, except for the 50-year-old ginseng, he has prepared all the other prescriptions.

Put all these prescriptions into the stone mill, grind them into extremely fine powder, and put them into a large jar for use.

As for the main ginseng, he prepared two types.

They are 20 years old and 30 years old respectively.

Although the age is not 50 years, his gourd can enhance the medicinal power.

He plans to use these two types of ginseng to prepare Peiyuan Guben pills, and then compare them with the purchased pills.

The method of making pills is very simple. You only need to mix the crushed powder according to the proportion, add refined honey, and then rub it into pills by hand.

In the first batch, he only made dozens of pills of each type, dried them, and stored them in the gourd for three days.

After comparison, the pills made with 20-year-old ginseng can fully achieve the effect of genuine Peiyuan Guben pills after being enhanced.

Pills made from 30-year-old ginseng are more effective than genuine Peiyuan Guben pills.

The pills with the strongest effect after the upgrade are still the genuine Peiyuan Guben pills that Sima Yi helped buy.

Because the materials used in these pills are all genuine 50-year-old ginseng.

After being upgraded by his gourd, the effect is far stronger than those made from his 20-30-year-old ginseng.

After such a comparison, if he sells them to the public in the future, he can just use 20-year-old ginseng to make Peiyuan Guben pills.

As for taking them for yourself, if conditions permit, the stronger the spiritual power, the better.

It is better to buy genuine Peiyuan Guben pills from Sima Yi, and use the gourd to upgrade the spiritual power for yourself.

In the following days, Er Gouzi continued to practice, read books, farm, and feed geese every day.

His geese ate well and their stomachs were very good. A total of 35 goslings were hatched for Er Gouzi.

Time passed day by day. After three months, he felt that the true qi in his dantian was so full that his lower abdomen was swollen.

That feeling was probably similar to a woman's pregnancy.

On this day, after Er Gouzi took a pill of Pei Yuan Gu Ben, the true qi in his Dantian surged and could no longer be suppressed. It came out of the Dantian, went up along the Du channel, broke through several major acupoints, and rushed straight to the top of the head.

"Boom..."

He only felt his head buzzing, as if a big firecracker had blasted out a space in his head.

He could clearly feel that the space in his head was not big, maybe only an inch in size, and stored a little invisible and intangible, but he could clearly feel the wonderful substance.

According to the records in the book, his situation was considered to have successfully opened up the upper Dantian.

The human body has three Dantians, the lower Dantian is located three inches below the navel, the middle Dantian is located in the middle of the tanzhong, and the upper Dantian is also known as the Niwan Palace, which is located in the skull, vertically from the center of the eyebrows to the back.

This invisible and intangible wonderful substance in the upper Dantian should be the divine consciousness mentioned in the book.

Because the divine consciousness is stored in the upper Dantian, it is also called the sea of ​​consciousness by immortal cultivators.

Calm down the excitement and try to mobilize the small group of wonderful substances in the upper Dantian.

This small group of spiritual consciousness has been integrated with the spiritual consciousness since the moment it was produced.

In other words, spiritual consciousness is the product of the qualitative change after the spiritual consciousness is upgraded.

The spiritual consciousness moves with the heart just like a thought.

As soon as the mind moves, a stream of spiritual consciousness surges out from the sea of ​​consciousness, covering the surrounding 10 feet in radius.

When encountering various obstacles, it can easily break through the layers of obstacles, such as entering the invisible into the visible, and entering the invisible into the visible.

Wherever the spiritual consciousness reaches, it can see through the slightest detail.

In the past, the places that could not be reached by sight, even the internal organs in the body, or separated by a wall, can be seen clearly with the spiritual consciousness.

Using the spiritual consciousness, you can clearly see the roots of ginseng in the soil, and a little bit of spiritual light in the soil is absorbed by the roots.

With the spiritual consciousness, what he wants to see most now is the yellow gourd in his hand.

Taking the yellow gourd in his hand, the spiritual consciousness swept towards the gourd.

"Hmm?"

As his mind moved, the yellow gourd in his hand disappeared and appeared in his upper Dantian sea of ​​consciousness.

The next moment, the gourd reappeared in his hand.

It turned out that this treasure could enter his sea of ​​consciousness through his spiritual consciousness.

In this way, he would not have to worry about being discovered by others when hiding the gourd in his sea of ​​consciousness in the future.

Then, he probed into the gourd mouth with his spiritual consciousness.

This time, it was indeed different from what he had seen with his naked eyes before.

In the past, he opened the lid and looked inside, and it was just a vast expanse of white, and he could not see anything.

Now, using his spiritual consciousness to enter the interior and observe, the gourd was still a vast white chaos.

But in this chaos, there were tiny spots of light floating.

These spots of light looked very small, like the stars in the sky, bright but not dazzling.

In addition to chaos, the world in the gourd was just these small spots of light.

He did not see where all the things he had collected were.

Especially the water that had been collected one after another, which should add up to as much as a lake.

As soon as this thought came up, his consciousness was sucked in by a light spot.

After his consciousness entered the light spot, he found that inside this small light spot was a large ball of water.

The water that was collected should be here, gathered into a ball, floating in this chaos.

His consciousness wandered freely in the water, and at this time, he found that there were fish in the water.

It should be that he accidentally collected them when he was filling it with water.

Only then did he know that in addition to storing things, his gourd could also raise fish.

No need to spend money to buy fish in the future.

At this time, he held the gourd in his hand and silently said in his heart: "Fish"

The fish that was swimming in the water just now appeared in his hand, jumping around and trying to escape.

Then he put the fish into the gourd, and the fish appeared in the water again.

Then his spiritual consciousness checked the light spots in the gourd one by one.

Sure enough, among these light spots, they were all the items he had collected.

After several attempts, he found that these light spots could be merged or separated.

For example, he could divide the water into two, three or even more light spots.

He could also bring several scattered items together and turn them into one light spot.

With this discovery, it would be more convenient for him to use his spiritual consciousness to check the items in the gourd or to put and put items.

Moreover, the gourd can be hidden in the sea of ​​consciousness, so he no longer has to worry about being discovered.

Er Gouzi held the gourd and played with his spiritual consciousness in and out for a long time. Finally, he got the functions of the gourd almost done, and then he put it into the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, he advanced from the third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training. In addition to successfully opening up the sea of ​​consciousness, his magic power has also increased a lot.

There are also those immortal spells left by the master before he left. In the past, his cultivation was not enough, so he tried to practice it, but he only practiced one wind control spell.

He didn't learn any other spells, and time was tight, and he was eager to take the martial arts exam.

Now that his cultivation has improved, he can find them and try to practice them slowly.

Thinking of this, he took out the secret book left by his master and looked through it.

These spells include sword control, fireball, rejuvenation, wood thorn, entanglement, water arrow, earth shield, talisman...

Among them, he has already practiced wind control, which is of great help to him.

After taking a rough look at these spells, combined with his current understanding of the immortal way, he already has a general idea.

Among them, sword control requires a magic weapon flying sword to practice, and the heavy sword in his hand cannot fly.

The same is true for the talisman technique. It requires talisman paper like Daoxuanzong to activate and perform.

The art of looking at qi requires divine consciousness. He is only at the third level of Qi training now. He must at least practice to the fourth level of Qi training, open up the upper Dantian, and have divine consciousness to practice.

The entanglement technique requires the use of seeds of spiritual trees and plants to perform...

Excluding various spells that do not meet the conditions, Er Gouzi first chose the art of looking at qi to practice.

The art of looking at qi is a small spell that uses divine consciousness to observe the breath and aura. The book says that it can see the strength of a warrior or a cultivator.

Strictly speaking, the art of looking at qi is not a spell, but only a small skill of using divine consciousness.

Now that he has opened up the sea of ​​consciousness and has divine consciousness, practicing the art of looking at qi is a natural process. It only took him more than ten days to successfully master this spell.

After successfully practicing the art of looking at qi, he tried to use his divine consciousness to check everything around him.

All living things can emit a strong or weak breath.

On the entire Shekou Mountain, Er Gouzi himself exuded the strongest aura, followed by the big goose and the little goose.

Those small things like ants can also emit extremely weak auras, which can be almost ignored.

With this little magic, it will be much safer to go out in the future.

However, the Qi-seeing technique is just a way to use the spiritual consciousness, and the effect of its use has a lot to do with the strength of his spiritual consciousness.

His current spiritual consciousness can only cover about ten feet around him. Beyond ten feet, the farther he uses the Qi-seeing technique to observe, the more blurred it will be.

Then he began to practice the Fireball Technique.

This time the practice took a longer time, more than a month.

At this moment, the true qi in his body ran dozens of times in a special way, and a thumb-sized fireball appeared at his fingertips.

The flames were fluctuating, swaying left and right, emitting a scorching temperature. Er Gouzi used his spiritual consciousness to carefully control the flames to prevent the flames from hurting himself.

In order to practice this spell, several pieces of clothes have been burned, and most of his eyebrows and hair have been burned by the flames.

Now he only had one eyebrow left, and he didn't want it to be burned.

Finally, the flame floated forward like a drunk.

After floating for a breath or two, perhaps because it was tired, it finally landed on a big stone two feet away.

With a whoosh, the flame rose on the stone and ignited a raging fire.

After about ten breaths, the flame slowly went out.

Er Gouzi walked over to check and found that the surface of the stone had been melted by the flames, like glass.

With the power of the fireball, if it fell on a person's head, his life would definitely be in danger.

It's just that the casting speed is too slow. First of all, the true qi must run dozens of times before the fireball can be sacrificed, which takes at least ten breaths.

In such a long time in the battle, even if he had nine heads, they would have been chopped off.

He barely sacrificed the fireball, and at a distance of only two feet, he could have chopped it off in an instant with a leap, but the small fireball had to fly for two breaths.

This kind of magic from the immortal family is naturally extremely powerful and terrifying for enemies who are paralyzed in both feet and cannot take care of themselves.

But if it is used to attack enemies with normal feet, especially those like Er Gouzi who can run and jump, it may be difficult to work.

After all, you can't make the opponent stay still and let you hit him.

Regarding this point, Er Gouzi had a deep understanding when he met the man in black on Shekou Mountain a few years ago.

Because the enemy did not cooperate with his swordsmanship routine, he stabbed dozens of times and didn't hit a single sword.

In short, this magic is a bit useless. It seems to be of little use except for lighting a fire and cooking in the wild.

Of course, with continuous practice and improvement in cultivation, this situation should be improved.

Then he spent more than a month to cultivate the Water Arrow Spell.

This spell has the same problem as the Fireball Spell. It is very powerful, but the casting is too slow, and it is not as good as a sword.

Moreover, with the total amount of true energy in his body, he can only cast three spells in a row at most, and his true energy will be exhausted.

So far, he no longer has too high expectations for spells.

Why do you have to cast a spell when you can kill the enemy with one sword.

However, he still feels that it is necessary to cultivate the remaining spells.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, so he will practice slowly when he has time.

In the following period of time, in addition to the entanglement spell, he cultivated several more spells.

This entanglement spell requires the use of plant seeds, and the true energy is poured into the seeds to promote the rapid growth of the seeds, which are used to entangle the enemy.

He did not give up because he did not have spiritual plant seeds in his hand. He tried with mung beans, soybeans, morning glory seeds, and kudzu seeds respectively.

Ordinary seeds simply cannot withstand the infusion of true qi and exploded directly.

It seems that only special seeds can be used.

Maybe in the future, the seeds of iron thorns can be tried, and there are so many thorns and barbs on the iron thorns, which are perfect for entanglement of enemies.

He planted 10 iron thorns at the beginning, watered them every day, and they are growing well now. There are many branches and have become 10 large clumps.

The thorns are covered with barbed wood thorns, which look hideous and terrifying. Even the geese that are causing trouble everywhere dare not touch them.

A few days ago, a few small flowers just bloomed, and it is unknown how long it will take for the fruits to mature.

At this growth rate, it will take many years to reproduce a large number of iron thorns and plant the entire Shekou Mountain.

I remembered that in the agricultural classics I had read, it was said that many trees can survive by cuttings.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he found a hatchet and wanted to cut some branches for cuttings.

However, his hatchet cut on it, just like cutting on extremely tough beef tendons or iron wire, it couldn't cut at all.

Instead, several wooden thorns pierced into the flesh, hooking his arm and making it difficult to move forward or backward.

After carefully working for a long time, he finally pulled the wooden thorn out of his arm, which was already bleeding.

Er Gouzi was a little annoyed, and he didn't believe that he couldn't do anything about a thorn.

He took out a hundred-jin heavy sword, stood far away, and smashed it with a sword, finally knocking off half of a bunch of iron thorns.

He hooked the half of the iron thorn that was knocked down in front of him, and smashed it several times with the heavy sword, and then carefully divided it into many three-inch long small branches.

He specially cleaned up a small piece of land, planted the iron thorn branches one by one, and then poured some water from the gourd.

He counted them and found a total of 48.

On the second day, the branch was not dead.

On the third day, tender buds had sprouted at the branch joints.

On the fourth day, tiny roots had grown at the root of the branch joints.

It looks like it is alive.

Then he cut off a part of each of the remaining clumps of iron thorn for cutting propagation.

A month later, he had propagated more than 500 iron thorn seedlings.

More than 500 plants were enough to plant iron thorns in some key locations on the mountain.
