Chapter 55: Giant Spirit Pill

Chapter 55: Giant Spirit Pill "Thank you, Master Dao!" Lin Jue took the three pills respectfully, then returned to his seat, sat cross-legged and checked the pills. What happened next had nothing to do with him. I saw many young Taoist priests in Xianyuan Temple looking at each other, and finally some of them stood up and cast spells. Some fans blew a breeze, some exhaled a cool breeze, some stirred up the smoke in the room, some blew up incense sticks, and two or three young Taoist priests used all their strength to blow down the wooden board. The strongest wind was blew by the very strong-willed young Taoist priest Yun Yi, who almost lifted his clothes and messed up his hair. But it was not as strong as Lin Jue's wind before. The junior sister was just a little bit short of blowing down the wooden board, and still got two pills. "That's it for today." Wangjizi, who was sitting at the top, said loudly: “Now that you have listened to the Tao, practiced the Dharma, and learned the techniques, you have entered the door of Taoism. Even if you leave the mountain now, you can be considered a Taoist with great accomplishments.

“Don’t let your guard down! "This test is nothing. The real test will be in the future, and it will be very long! "Originally, we cultivators should be cultivating peacefully in this mountain and shouldn't place too much emphasis on magic. However, with the chaos that has occurred today, you must remember not to give up practicing magic from now on. "Tao is the path of cultivation, and Shu is the method of protecting Tao. "..." A little Taoist priest's voice came from below: "May I ask, Master, to what extent do I need to cultivate to become an immortal?" "Become an immortal? Haha..." Wangjizi chuckled, seeming to have some emotion, but also some contempt: “This road is long… "Once you have been given the talisman, you can set up an altar and perform rituals, and you can be called a magician. You should practice well and practice magic. When you can use magic to exorcise demons, you can accept it calmly when the people down the mountain call you a magician. "If you are not a true person, you will remain a mortal for the rest of your life. When the day comes when you are reborn, you will attain the true Tao and become a true person. “Speaking of becoming an immortal, if a real person is willing, he can become an immortal in just one step. “If you go higher, you will become a powerful being or a true immortal. “That was a thing of ancient times. "Don't look too far ahead. In the past thousands of years in our Xianyuan Temple, there has been anyone who has attained the truth and become a 'real person'. I don't know if there is any. At least, I have never heard of it. "..." Wangjizi seemed tired as he spoke, and waved his hand for them to leave. Lin Jue knew that Xianyuan Temple recruited many more disciples than Fuqiu Temple: the existing disciples of Xianyuan Temple can actually be divided into three generations. Most of the young Taoists sitting in the hall are not Wangjizi's disciples. Among them are disciples of Wangjizi's disciples, as well as disciples of his junior brothers or disciples' grandchildren. It is because Wangjizi has the highest level of Taoism in the temple, and "Tao" is the most important. Therefore, at the beginning of these young Taoists' practice, Wangjizi will preach to them, telling them about the understanding of the great way of heaven and earth, the essence of yin and yang, the five qi and the cultivation of the mind and nature, so that their future path of cultivation will be easier. Now that they have mastered the basics of spiritual arts and have learned some simple spells, it may be difficult for them to come here and listen to Wang Jizi's preaching in the future. So Lin Jue stood up and bowed deeply. The junior sister didn't understand why, so she just followed suit. Then he stood up and walked out.

It’s a really nice day today. There are white clouds below and blue sky above. In the middle is a strange granite mountain with a yellowish-brown, green and black hue. An ancient pine tree takes root in the cracks of the rocks, with its branches sticking out at an angle. White clouds are rolling, the blue sky is seamless, and everything is bright. The Taoist temple has palaces and pavilions connected by stone steps. Taoists walk hurriedly among them to avoid the sun, wild deer stroll leisurely, not afraid of people, and blue smoke rises from furnaces, and the sound of chimes and chanting scriptures can be heard from time to time. Taking a step forward is like walking into a painting. "Brother, why are you the first one to go out? Why don't you wait for those little Taoist priests to perform the wind-calling technique first, and then blow a strong wind to piss them off to death." The little sister reached out to touch the wild deer's horns, but turned her head and asked her brother curiously with her eyes wide open. "Isn't that another Master and Master Wangjizi?" "Oh!! They are just like that!" The little sister seemed to have just understood and opened her eyes wide, "No wonder!" "..." "How did you know?" "..." Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind. "Brother Lin Jue!" Lin Jue and the other man, along with the fox beside them, turned around to look. There were several young Taoist priests from Xianyuan Temple, and their leader was the one named Yun Yi. This young Taoist priest was a disciple accepted by Wangjizi himself. He had good talent and was also the most competitive. Compared to the unwillingness to accept and the secret comparisons he made every time he listened to the sermons before, his eyebrows and eyes were much softer at this time, but he still felt firm and unwilling to accept. Lin Jue didn't know what he was here for. "The ability of Fuqiu Temple to 'know people and know their fate' is indeed extraordinary. Brother Dao has outstanding talent. Today, in this 'calling the wind', we are willing to admit that we are inferior." The little Taoist came over, saluted him, and then said, "Master is right. Originally, people who practice Taoism should not pay too much attention to magic. But now the world is a little different... I still want to compare with Brother Dao." He paused for a moment, lowered his head to avoid Lin Jue's gaze, but continued, "Master said that at this time next year, and every year in the future, the temple will have a comparison of magic. I hope Brother Dao can still come." "Ok?" Is this to use myself as a goal to motivate him? If that's the case, Lin Jue would be quite happy. Lin Jue thought about it and said in return: "My master said that our two temples have been friends since the founding master, and later generations have been friends. We shouldn't be so clear about the distinction. If you need us, we will come. After all, we are not far away." "Brother Dao, be merciful." "mercy." The two groups of people separated. One side went towards the inner courtyard, and the other side went outside the mountain. The junior sister was still touching the wild deer's horns and looked at him with a smile: "Brother, why do you want to compete with them again?" “This is different.” “…” The junior sister scratched her head, withdrew her hand, and followed him forward. Her mind quickly turned to other things, and she asked him to go with her to the mountains to pick wild peaches.

…… Slowly and leisurely, return to the temple. "Brother, when are we going to take this medicine?" the little sister asked him while holding a peach in her pocket. "Of course I'll ask Second Senior Brother." "Yes!" So the two of them took the pills to ask the second senior brother for advice. The second brother just took a look and said to him: "This is the Giant Spirit Pill. Judging from its appearance, it is a second-rate pill. The Taoist friends in Jiulong Temple are good at refining pills. If it is from Jiulong Temple, it must be made from the dregs of the medicine used by the Taoist friends in Jiulong Temple to refine the Giant Spirit Pill. I don't know how to refine this Giant Spirit Pill. I only know that it can increase strength and strengthen the body after taking it. It is a relatively advanced pill and it is not easy to refine. "This should be called a small elixir. It has limited medicinal effects, but it is rare for Taoists of our Lingfa Sect. You must know that there are many scattered Taoists at the foot of the mountain. Although they are good at Taoism and magic, they are not strong enough and often suffer losses when traveling around the world. This is probably because Taoist Master Wangjizi saw that the world was becoming more and more chaotic, and was afraid that his disciples would suffer losses when traveling around the world in the future, so he specially went to ask for it. "Master Wangjizi has good intentions... "By the way, this pill is best taken in the morning. If you take it at night, you won't be able to sleep." It’s pretty much the same as what Wangjizi said. But Lin Jue still has ancient books. The next morning, he swallowed the elixir. Suddenly I had a strange feeling. With a thought, the ancient book is in your hands. "Wow..." Turn to a new page: The wood pill is also known as the giant spirit pill. There are some strange and exotic plants in the world, most of which grow in remote mountains where few people go. One of them is called the 櫰木 (Chinese medicinal herb). It has its own spirituality over the years and can be used as the main ingredient to make pills. Eating it can increase one's strength. After taking this pill, within an hour, you will feel dizzy and want to vomit, and your skin will feel numb as if bitten by insects. At this time, no matter what you do, you will not feel tired and will have infinite strength. After a day, your whole body will ache, and it will take three to five days at the shortest and seven to eight days at the longest to recover. After recovery, your physical strength will increase. Lin Jue held the page of the book and listened carefully. "... “Many people only know that taking the Giant Spirit Pill can increase their strength and strengthen their physique, but few people know that within a day after taking the Giant Spirit Pill, they must exercise and exert their strength. If they do nothing, most of the effects of the Giant Spirit Pill will be wasted. “And there are also considerations on what to do. "If you run after taking the Giant Spirit Pill, you will be better at running after you recover. If you lift a tripod after taking the Giant Spirit Pill, you will be better at lifting the tripod after you recover. If you dance with a sword after taking the Giant Spirit Pill, you will be better at dancing with a sword. “It’s ridiculous. Even many alchemists don’t know this principle. They only know that they have to use up their energy after taking the pills, otherwise they will feel uncomfortable. "... “Although this type of elixir is not to the point where ‘if you haven’t learned how to take it, you can’t take it or it will be useless if you take it’, it is still more effective if the alchemist has learned how to take it.

"At the same time, the effects of this kind of elixir are not infinite. The same elixir will become less effective the more you take it. Taking three or two pills is enough. Taking more will be useless. If you want to reach a higher level, you have to refine better elixirs. "..." It also has a complete formula for the elixir. "It seems that some elixirs can only be taken after practicing the method of taking them, or even after practicing the method to a high level." Lin Jue heard some information. When you think about it this way, it makes sense. Then he frowned and his expression changed. The effect of the medicine came on so quickly. He felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit, but he was not sleepy at all. Instead, he felt clear-headed and energetic, as if he had infinite strength. At the same time, his scalp and body began to feel numb and itchy, just like being bitten by insects, and it seemed that they were urging him to use up his strength quickly. He quickly opened the door and stepped out. By chance, I met my junior sister. The little sister opened her eyes wide and stared at him: "Brother, did you take the pill? Why do I feel uncomfortable in my stomach and itchy all over after taking it?" "Me too!" "What should we do then? Should we look for the fifth senior brother? Or the second senior brother?" “It should be normal.” "What should we do? Just ignore it?" "Let's do some work first." "Yes!" The junior sister opened her eyes and agreed deeply. That’s indeed the case— When you are unhappy, do some work and you will forget your unhappiness. When you are uncomfortable, do some work and you will forget the discomfort. It turns out that my senior brother is the same! The junior sister was shocked. (End of this chapter)
