Chapter 58 Prehistoric Plants
Ding dong, ding dong, the doorbell rings.
Fang Yi released his spiritual sense to investigate and saw Xu Xiaoli standing outside the door with two bags of takeout in her hands.
As expected, Xu Xiaoli's voice rang out, "Master, you haven't eaten since noon, I got you something to eat."
“Here I come.”
Fang Yi ran over and opened the door.
The door opened and Xu Xiaoli was seen.
Perhaps the thing in her hands was a little heavy and she had run a long way carrying it, so her face was flushed.
"Come in."
Fang Yi moved sideways to let the other person in.
"Thank you, Master."
Xu Xiaoli walked in breathlessly carrying two large bags of takeout. She quickly put them on the small round table and kept shaking her hands. It seemed that she was really tired.
Fang Yi closed the door and glanced at her, then laughed and said, "Xiao Li, you are not in good shape."
Xu Xiaoli said with a bitter face: "I don't exercise much, so I feel a little weak."
Fang Yi walked to the small round table and sat down, and gave an order: "Get up early tomorrow and exercise. You must train your physique well before I formally teach you to practice."
Before one formally becomes a disciple, it is impossible for him to teach the way of cultivation and he can only give guidance from the outside.
Xu Xiaoli exclaimed, "Ah!" She was a little dumbfounded and said, "Do you need to exercise your body to practice cultivation?"
"sit."
Fang Yi pointed at the chair opposite.
See the other person sit down obediently.
Fang Yi then explained: "I am practicing the Neidan School's exercises. The first stage of Neidan School's practice is called refining essence into qi, which is to transform the essence of the five grains produced after your digestion into innate essence through the two kidneys' river carts and accumulate it in the lower dantian. When the accumulated innate essence reaches a certain amount, it can undergo a qualitative change and form a dewdrop-like golden elixir."
There was one more thing he didn't say.
The amount of this qualitative change is enormous.
Without external help, basically no one can do it.
As Xu Xiaoli unwrapped the takeout bag and took out the plastic boxes one by one, she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What does that have to do with exercise?"
Fang Yi smiled and said, "People with good physiques absorb the essence of grains faster. You don't have to be very strong, but at least you can't be weak. If you are very weak, the essence of grains produced by your diet will have to be used to make up for the deficiency in your body. How can you talk about refining essence into qi? So, starting from tomorrow, you should not only exercise, but also pay attention to your diet structure. You can't be picky about food and you can't eat too little. For example, you are now as thin as a rib skeleton, which is not conducive to cultivation."
"Oh, Master, I understand." Xu Xiaoli clenched her fists and said, "I will definitely do as you say, Master, and exercise my body first."
Fang Yi was amused by her behavior.
You know what, this girl is quite thoughtful.
Just because I didn’t have dinner, I bought seven or eight dishes.
Originally, Fang Yi's appetite decreased after he entered the second stage and he would hardly eat with his chopsticks.
But today he had a big appetite and ate most of the dishes by himself.
Xu Xiaoli, who was eating, saw that he ate a lot and said happily: "Master, it seems that the dishes I bought are very suitable for your taste. I will make more of your favorite tomorrow."
"No need." Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "My cultivation level is close to fasting. I can eat three days' worth of food in one day, or I can go three days without eating. You don't need to prepare anything for me. Just take care of your own diet."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoli's eyes were full of stars, "You are almost fasting? Master, you are amazing!"
Fang Yi smiled and was about to say something.
Suddenly, he thought of something, "By the way, Xiaoli, do you know anything about plants?"
Xu Xiaoli is picking up some vegetables.
Hearing this, she put the greens in the bowl and said, "I came into contact with a lot of Chinese medicine when I was studying Chinese medicine with my master before, so I have some understanding of it."
"Oh, then let me ask you about a plant, listen and see if you know it."
Fang Yi described the appearance of the plant that grows the small spiritual fruit.
After listening to this, Xu Xiaoli said uncertainly: "The plant you are talking about is a bit like a prehistoric fern. This kind of plant generally reproduces by spores."
Aren’t the little spiritual fruits just like giant spores?
Fang Yi didn't know much about plants, so he humbly asked, "Spore reproduction?"
"Yes, the earliest plants reproduced by spores." Xu Xiaoli is quite knowledgeable about this aspect. "After a long time, plants gradually evolved to reproduce by seeds. Simply put, seeds are a more complex reproductive body developed from spores. Spores generally have only one cell and can only germinate when scattered in a warm and humid environment. By the way, ferns are a bit like Ganoderma lucidum, both of which reproduce by spores. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is a good thing to replenish vitality."
Fang Yi vaguely understood something.
According to Taoist theory of vital energy, it is believed that vital energy comes from the innate.
For example, why does Ganoderma lucidum spore powder have such powerful medicinal effects?
Because Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the seeds that are ejected and released from the gills of the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum during its mature stage, it condenses the essence of Ganoderma lucidum and has all the genetic material and functions of Ganoderma lucidum.
Science shows that the nutritional value of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is seventy-five times that of Ganoderma lucidum.
Then, the spiritual fruit naturally condenses all the essence of the prehistoric fern that he had seen before. In addition, with such large spores, the "vitality" contained is naturally much greater than that of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder, so it can produce huge essence.
Actually, these are nothing.
What’s interesting is that after talking with Xu Xiaoli, Fang Yi discovered that spiritual fruits can be grown!
What does this mean?
This means that as long as you can grow that kind of prehistoric fern again, you will have an endless supply of spiritual fruits!
Okay, let’s plant it tomorrow.
Fang Yi's mood became better.
Soon, dinner was over.
Xu Xiaoli packed up and left.
Wait until she leaves.
Fang Yi then frowned, "According to the Taoist classics, one of the three corpse gods resides in the human head, making people have many desires and like cars and horses; one resides in the human stomach, making people like food and anger; and one resides in the human foot, making people lustful and fond of killing."
Now, these three aspects of mine, namely, anger, love of food and excessive desire, have all manifested themselves concretely.
It seems that the golden elixir had previously slid to the left rib, and the attempt to forcibly kill the three corpses did cause the three corpses to rebound.
But Fang Yi felt very confused. He could even look inside his body, so why couldn’t he find out what the Three Corpse Gods were inside his body?
Forget it, things will work out when the time comes.
Once the golden elixir is fixed under the left rib, the three corpses will naturally be killed.
Fang Yi ignored the three corpses and turned to study the composition of the patterns of the earthly immortal soldiers and horses.
This thing is relatively simple. It uses patterns to guide the energy and impact, forming a simple energy field.
It is dozens of times more crude than the Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads, and is also very unstable. The intensity of the energy field formed each time is different.
Perhaps it is because of this that the strength of the summoned earth immortal soldiers is different each time.
Just as Zhu Changqing and Cheng Shan said, sometimes "little ghosts" are summoned, and sometimes "ghost kings" are summoned.
However, Fang Yi still constructed the model. "That's fine. In the future, when I encounter a weaker energy field guardian, I don't need to spend too much energy to summon a golden dragon. After all, it takes about 10% of my Dan Qi to summon a golden dragon, while summoning earthly soldiers only consumes about 1%. It's a good and cheap method."
…
The next day, it was cloudy and rainy.
Fang Yi and Xu Xiaoli left Changkou Town and were on their way to the next stop.
One secret report after another was transmitted into the Tianshi Mansion, the ancestral temple of Mount Longhu.
Tianshi’s private residence, front hall.
This was originally the living room, also known as Sansei-do, and was once the meeting place for the bishops after Tianshi took over the religion.
But now the front hall has been converted into the Heavenly Master Hall, which is generally used for chanting scriptures, performing rituals, and praying for blessings in the morning and evening.
At this time, it was early morning.
Zhang Tianshi is leading a group of Taoists in chanting scriptures.
"Tianshi!"
Suddenly, shouts were heard outside the hall.
A young Taoist priest rushed in from outside.
The Taoists frowned, stopped chanting, and looked over with some displeasure.
On the contrary, Zhang Tianshi and several respected old Taoist priests in the Tianshi Mansion saw the young Taoist priest's eyes light up and they stood up hurriedly.
Zhang Tianshi stepped forward quickly and asked, "Is there any news?"
The young Taoist priest leaned close to the Heavenly Master's ear and whispered, "Someone has found traces of the real person in Changkou Town."
Zhang Tianshi looked delighted and asked, "Are you sure the news is true?"
The young Taoist nodded slightly and said in a very low voice: "Yes, there is a small mountain village not far from Changkou Town. The villagers are saying that a fairy appeared in their dreams and saved them a few days ago. They are even planning to build a shrine to worship the fairy who appeared in the dream. If nothing unexpected happens, it is a real person."
Zhang Tianshi was slightly shocked when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "The immortal can actually show his holiness in a dream? Doesn't that mean he has reached the realm of earthly immortals?"
The young Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that the Immortal can do more than just show his divine power in dreams. The villagers have heard that he can summon a golden dragon and show his divine power in front of people. Some villagers even said that when the Immortal shows his divine power in front of people, he shines brightly!"
Zhang Tianshi was so shocked that he forgot to answer for a moment.
Several old Taoist priests nearby saw the Heavenly Master and the young Taoist priest whispering. They could not hear the specific content and were secretly anxious and eager to know what was going on.
Seeing that the Heavenly Master remained silent for a long time, the young Taoist asked tentatively: "Heavenly Master, what should we do next..."
Zhang Tianshi finally woke up from his shock and immediately gave an order: "Find the real person as soon as possible, and then respectfully invite him to the mountain... No, if you can find him, Master Qiu and I will go to meet the emperor and invite him to Longhu Mountain."
"I'll have someone do it right away."
After saying this, the young Taoist turned around and hurriedly left the Tianshi Temple.
Obviously, he was afraid that the clues he had finally obtained would be lost, so he naturally wanted to find the real person as soon as possible.
Wait until the young Taoist priest leaves.
Several old Taoists looked on eagerly.
Master Zhang knew what was revealed in their eyes.
He looked at the other Taoists who were chanting sutras inside, and then said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go outside and talk."
A group of people came outside.
Zhang Tianshi then whispered the news that the young Taoist had just brought.
"What?"
"Can a real person show himself in a dream?"
"Performing in front of others and shining with divine light?"
"Hiss, could it be that this immortal has already achieved the Dao Fruit of Earthly Immortal?"
The old Taoist priests exclaimed in amazement after hearing this. They wished they could immediately meet the Taoist master so that they could admire his spirit.
