Chapter 411: Flowers bloom here, the secrets of heaven can be seen
"Big medicine? What is that?"
As the Emperor of Xia, Emperor Qizhi had to take care of state affairs every day, and his understanding of the Tao was not profound. His time was precious and he had no time to waste it on knowledge that he would not use.
He was more concerned about the monks who came to the Xia Dynasty and the forces behind them.
But since Liu Qingming mentioned it on his own initiative, it is natural to ask about it.
"The spiritual plants themselves are also divided into different grades. There are three types of spiritual medicine: low, medium, and high. They are beneficial to Qi training, foundation building, and golden elixir cultivators respectively. As for the great medicine, it is also effective for Yuanying Venerables."
Liu Qingming explained.
"Hiss~"
This time, Emperor Qi Zhi was really shocked. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "So, doesn't that mean that this flower is equivalent to the Nascent Soul cultivation level?"
"No, no, no."
Liu Qingming shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not how it should be calculated. Mortal poisons can also kill Qi-cultivating cultivators. Could it be that the thing used to refine the poison is a spiritual plant? If a cultivator's cultivation is a house that is slowly built up, then a spiritual treasure can only be considered a wall or even a tile at most. Even if it can have some effect on a cultivator, how can it be truly compared?"
"I see. Then may I ask Master Liu how did you know that this flower has the ability to be a great medicine?"
Emperor Qizhi asked without any shame.
"It's very simple. If a spiritual plant can improve the surrounding environment and affect other spiritual plants, and you can feel some of its effects without taking it, then it can be called a great medicine."
Liu Qingming said: "The most precious thing about the great medicine is not that it can be taken or made into pills. It is that you can open up a medicinal field next to the great medicine so that the great medicine can nourish it, just like the willow tree in the yard. This is the true value of the great medicine, which is priceless."
The so-called great medicine has the ability to influence the world.
Eating it directly would be a waste of food.
Using chickens to lay eggs is the real way to apply it.
Next to a big medicinal plant, a spiritual field can be opened up and other spiritual treasures can be moved here. With the big medicinal plant as the leader, the moved spiritual treasures will also be nourished by it, and the big medicinal plant can also get considerable benefits from it. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Great medicines are things of strategic value even in the world of immortal cultivation. Ordinary spiritual treasures cannot compare with them at all. Even spiritual medicines that can break through realms have to lag behind them and are far inferior to them.
The value of borrowing chickens and laying eggs is vital everywhere.
If used properly, the value of a drug can even far exceed its own value.
Even in the world of immortal cultivation, a small sect with a Jindan cultivator may not have a single great medicine! This kind of strategic material would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary, and this was even more true for the big forces.
The amount of medicated medicine can even directly affect the spiritual treasures that a sect’s disciples can obtain!
While the superstructure is important, living water is also something that cannot be cut off. Only in this way can the sect be guaranteed to prosper and the disciples to continue to grow, without a situation of a lack of successors.
This unique symbiotic relationship is the key to the survival of great medicine and preventing it from being destroyed by humans.
Otherwise, after growing for thousands of years, if one unlucky one was eaten by someone, wouldn’t that be too tragic?
If this is really the case, no matter how many great medicines there are, they will not be enough for the world of immortal cultivation.
"In that case, this great medicine is truly priceless!"
As the Emperor of Xia and the monarch of a country, Emperor Qizhi naturally understood what this meant.
With the great medicine as the basis, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three. As long as the power is not extinct and with the great medicine, they can continuously cultivate spiritual plants and speed up the practice of their own cultivators.
In this way, a virtuous cycle can be achieved. As long as the elixir is not destroyed, the power can become stronger and stronger.
As for the efficacy of the powerful medicine, it is something that can be ignored - it is the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full.
Anyone with even a little ambition would not do something that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
"yes."
Liu Qingming nodded gently and said, "This great medicinal plant is still growing. When it grows to a certain extent and enters a mature state, you can pick some flowers and leaves without damaging the roots or causing too much damage to it.
That is not just something that low-level cultivators can benefit from. A complete, ownerless herb is enough to exchange with the nine major immortal sects for several elixirs that are very effective for Yuanying masters!"
"this"
The joy on Emperor Qizhi's face suddenly froze.
As the saying goes, a son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall.
The big medicine is not bad, it's too good.
According to what Liu Qingming said, this thing is simply not something that a mortal dynasty can possess. Even for the great immortal sects, it is something they are eager to have and they will never have too much.
One more great medicinal plant is equivalent to one more foundation.
He didn't understand these things before. He only knew that the rare flowers in the Gu family courtyard were quite magical, but he didn't have a complete concept of their value.
Now that I know, the joy has not had time to rise for long before it is followed by fear and anxiety.
The Xia Dynasty does not yet have the ability to protect this great medicine.
Once it is exposed, it is like a child carrying gold in a busy city.
And now, it has been exposed.
Not only Liu Qingming knew about it, Pei Qingyan himself had broken in and seen the Fiery Sun Chrysanthemum with his own eyes.
Has the other party also discovered that this is a priceless medicine?
Emperor Qizhi was unsure.
When you don't have enough strength, putting your treasures out in the open is not showing off, that's a way to death, and it's not something that should be shown in this situation.
But there is no way. In life, there are always many times when we have no control over our own behavior.
It is not because of personal will.
Liu Qingming had not yet noticed that Emperor Qizhi's expression had stiffened a little, and he continued to talk: "I heard from Emperor Xia that this thing was transformed from a mortal to an immortal?"
"Indeed. This scorching sun chrysanthemum was previously only a common treasure, grown in the Xia Dynasty."
Emperor Qizhi explained: "This thing was planted in the courtyard by a friend of Master Jishi in the past. It should be about two hundred years old."
"Only two hundred years?"
Liu Qingming raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
Two hundred years, from the perspective of ordinary people, is enough time for a powerful country to decline or even perish.
But for immortal things, this is not an unattainable time.
It is no exaggeration to say that a lower-grade spiritual medicine or a more powerful mid-grade spiritual medicine can have medicinal properties for two to three hundred years.
The so-called medicinal power of two or three hundred years refers to the medicinal effect, not that it has actually grown for two or three hundred years.
If there is a powerful medicine nearby, it is normal for ordinary spiritual treasures to grow twice as fast. If they are particularly suitable, it is not impossible for them to grow three or four times faster!
In other words, the ordinary spiritual plants next to the big medicine, after growing for fifty or sixty years, may have the same effects as those ordinary spiritual plants that grow for two or three hundred years on their own, but it doesn't really take that long to grow.
Otherwise, if a person who has established his foundation wants to eat the elixir that he has planted, wouldn't it be a chance he has to wait until his death?
How could ordinary cultivators have the chance to enjoy it, and alchemy could not become one of the four more important arts of cultivating immortals among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.
But, that was just an ordinary spiritual treasure.
Great medicine cannot accelerate the growth of great medicine, and you cannot step on your right foot with your left foot. This is common sense in the world of immortal cultivation.
It is almost impossible to artificially produce any major medicine. It’s not that it cannot be done, but it’s a huge loss.
Among the nine immortal sects, the alchemy sect Changsheng Sect once tried to cultivate the elixir on its own. After spending a huge amount of money, it did succeed, but the cost was not worth it.
The Changsheng Sect didn't believe it at first and tried several times, each time thinking that they would do better next time.
Then, the cultivated medicines have not been used yet, and their own medicines are almost destroyed by it, and it even directly leads to a significant increase in the price of elixirs in the world of immortal cultivation.
Finally, after being persuaded by other immortal sects, he finally gave up the idea.
Some things are not impossible to force, but they are inconvenient to force.
This incident is also regarded as an interesting story in the world of immortal cultivation. People often talk about it, and it is difficult not to remember it.
This shows how difficult it is to cultivate a great medicinal plant.
Even if the Changsheng Sect, one of the nine immortal sects, mobilized all its strength, it would still not be worth it.
Now you tell me that in two hundred years, a mortal flower has transformed from a mortal to a fairy and become a great medicine? Do you want the elders of the Changsheng Sect to come over and kowtow to you and ask for advice?
"That's true."
Emperor Qizhi nodded affirmatively.
"The Jishi Zhenren you mentioned must be the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch, there is no doubt about it, the evidence is irrefutable!"
This time, Liu Qingming spoke in an extremely firm, resolute, and confident tone.
If Jishi Zhenren was not the God of Transformation, Liu Qingming would have died by running into a wall in this small courtyard!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This great medicine is the most powerful evidence that Master Jishi is a divine being.
Otherwise, how could a mortal flower grow on its own for two hundred years without withering or failing? Even after the revival of spiritual energy, in just a dozen years, it already had the ability to become a great medicine?
Such an incredible thing can only come from the hands of the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch! Reversing yin and yang, handing over fate, and doing things that ordinary people cannot do, this is the ability that only the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch possesses.
The loss of forcibly producing a major medicinal herb is far greater than the cost of obtaining the major medicinal herb?
It was a burden that the nine great immortal sects could not bear, but the God Transformation Lord did not care.
"If I'm not mistaken, Master Jishi must like the descendants who planted this rare flower very much, right?"
Liu Qingming asked.
"That's right."
Emperor Qizhi nodded repeatedly, "After the man who planted this flower grew old, Jishi Zhenren left the Xia Dynasty and wandered around, and no one knows where he is."
This is a sincere and true statement.
After that man grew old, Mr. Gu left the Xia Dynasty not long after and traveled far away.
"Alas. The God of Transformation can ensure longevity, but it still cannot reverse life and death. This great medicine is the Jishi Zhenren's remembrance of his old friends in the mortal world, right?"
Liu Qingming sighed when he heard this.
Immortals and mortals are separated.
The God of Transformation can travel through the myriad realms and even decide the destiny of heaven. His body will become one with the Tao, and heaven and earth will decay together.
For ordinary people, it is omnipotent.
But there are some things that cannot be changed.
Life and death are like this.
When you enter the mortal world, observe the changes, experience the human world, and even make friends, in the end, you will inevitably leave alone and disappear without a trace.
The path to immortality is lonely and cold, and even becoming a spirit is not enough.
This scorching sun chrysanthemum, which was originally just an ordinary flower, is no longer ordinary because of Master Jishi's longing for his old friend.
Flowers are common, but friendship is precious.
The fragrance of flowers still permeates the entire courtyard. Even though the people from the past are no longer here, the scent is still here.
If one day, Ji Shi Zhenren returns here, he can still see a glimpse of the scenery of the past, as if an old friend is by his side, talking and laughing.
All things are like flowing water, and the flowers here will never bloom again.
This flower is still blooming quietly here.
But I can’t find the person from that time anymore.
Liu Qingming stood in the yard, stunned for a long time.
It seemed as if I had understood the mood of Master Jishi when he left this place.
We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we may not meet again soon.
The good fortune that everyone in the world longs for is only left in the courtyard for one to admire alone.
That is something that must be endured by an existence that stands proudly between heaven and earth.
"It's not good to let others see this flower."
After coming back to his senses, Liu Qingming looked at Emperor Qizhi and said.
The feelings that a deity placed on it are far more precious than the value of the medicine itself.
The value that people can give can certainly surpass the value of the object itself.
"ha"
Emperor Qizhi showed a bitter smile on his face and said, "To be honest, this flower has been seen by others."
"oh?"
Liu Qingming was somewhat surprised. Could it be that there was also a cultivator with a very solid attainment in the art of formations who discovered the extraordinaryness of Xia Chao's formations and came to the same conclusion as him, taking the lead? "It was Master Pei from Xuantian Sect."
Emperor Qizhi said.
"The method of the Tianji Sect?"
After hearing this, Liu Qingming immediately understood.
The Tianji Sect is the only one among the nine immortal sects that does not formally recruit disciples from outside the world, and relies entirely on recommendations from its own family.
The relationship between the Tianji Sect and the Xuantian Sect is like the relationship between the head of a family and the side branches in the secular world. The head of the family is naturally the absolute ruler, and the most talented people in the side branches also have the opportunity to be favored by the head of the family and brought back to the family.
The Xuantian Sect itself is a subsidiary sect of the Tianji Sect, so it is normal for it to contain some of the Tianji Sect's secret techniques.
"The secret method of the Tianji Sect is indeed hard to defend against."
Liu Qingming nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Not to mention the mortal dynasties, even other immortal sects would not dare to say that they can 100% prevent the snooping of the disciples of the Tianji Sect.
The Tianji Sect is involved in many major events in the world of immortal cultivation.
As for being able to perceive the creation of heaven and earth and even discover secrets, the Tianji Sect is the leading force in the world of immortal cultivation.
If it weren't for the fact that it had too few disciples and they were too willing to commit suicide, the Tianji Sect would have become the leader of the immortal world long ago.
It was normal to be discovered by the Tianji Sect's secret method. Those bastards loved to do this kind of thing, and many times they did not consider the consequences, so there were more than one or two people who died.
The other nine sects were unable to do anything to the Tianji Sect, so it would be too much of an overbearing decision to ask the Xia Dynasty to keep the secret.
"May I ask Master Liu if there is a solution?"
Since Liu Qingming took the initiative to ask for confidentiality, Emperor Qizhi followed suit and asked.
If he had to choose someone to trust, he would of course choose Liu Qingming, who was closer to Xia Chao.
"Of course there is a way."
Liu Qingming smiled slightly, "Since it has been confirmed that this place is the former residence of the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch, and there are formations that are incredible to the formation world and were preserved in the Xia Dynasty, I can call my master over. With my master here, let's see who dares to act rashly here!"
