Chapter 404: The unbridled ghost without restraints
Lin Du took out the only two jade boxes from the empty storage ring.
The jade box is a special storage box for rare spiritual objects. The lid is matched with the pot. Even the Supreme Sect does not use jade boxes for everything.
Lin Du glanced at the mark on the jade box and took out the third natural treasure she had prepared for herself.
The first step is the Tianxin Lotus to calm the mind and dredge the heart meridians to invigorate the qi and promote water. The second step is the Deep Sea True Spirit to replenish vitality. The third step is the Red Yang Tiger Basket, which is a powerful medicine for restoring yang and rescuing the adverse situation.
Ordinary people would not use this thing, nor dare to use it, because it is very hot and toxic. If it is not used properly, the person will die.
But Lin Du's situation is different. She has the previous two natural treasures as a foundation, so she is really not afraid. "It's really like climbing a mountain of swords and descending a sea of fire
. Fortunately, I was already dead at that time, so it's hard for me to get hurt." Lin Du sighed. The Tianxin Lotus is on the snowy mountains, the Deep Sea True Spirit is in the deep sea, and this one is in the fierce and abnormal magma of the earth's crust. She took out the black roots. No wonder this thing is the third step. If she had eaten this at the beginning, I'm afraid she would be dead now. She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to concentrate on refining. At this time, the medicine came just in time. She was so yin-like that she didn't look like a living person. As soon as she refined it, Lin Du noticed the fierceness of the medicine. Fortunately, there were no outsiders at this time, otherwise they would have seen Lin Du with steam coming out of his whole body. Unlike those people with smoke coming out of their heads, Lin Du's whole body was covered with white steam. At first glance, he looked like a god with dry ice special effects. His skin, which was usually pale and almost bloodless, was steamed into cooked shrimp in just a cup of tea. The real steam engine has to be seen by Lin Du himself. Han Yueling hadn't come out for a breath of fresh air for several days. As soon as she came out by Lin Du's wrist, she was so scared that she jumped up to the sky, like a hedgehog flying into the sky. "Eh? Who else could it be but you?" "Fake Lin Du?" Han Yueling was born with both cold and hot phases, but when she was with Lin Du, she mostly maintained the cold phase. Who knew that when she came out today, she was burned by the hot air and jumped up directly. Chu Guanmeng fell on the bed and turned to look at Lin Du, who was steaming, and began to think about what was going on. After returning from the underworld, when others lost their yang energy, she lost all her yin energy? Can she bear so much yang energy? Or is it Lin Du? Did she take the wrong medicine? Chu Guanmeng thought about it and planned to knock on the spiritual contract with Lin Du, but when he knocked, blood dripped onto the bed. Chu Guanmeng was so scared that he flew off the spot again, "Lin Du!!" Lin Du raised his hand to wipe his face and wiped off the blood from his nose, "Don't panic, this medicine is a bit strong, it will take me a long time to digest it, if you are free, you can go out and play." Chu Guanmeng heard it and said "oh", it understood, it was another seclusion, it was familiar with this. Lin Du would either freeze himself into an ice cube or turn himself into a brazier. Mao Tuanzi shook his head fiercely, young people do things in extremes. Lin Du really didn't expect the drug to be so strong, so strong that it rushed all the way to open her internal organs, her meridians were burning, and the muscles and pores of her body were opened. Her mind was completely open-the power of the drug overwhelmed her head, and she only knew to use spiritual power to digest and dredge it again and again. The erupting fire poison wanted to destroy her heart, but the previously refined medicinal power and vitality were constantly replenishing her heart. The hot medicinal power stimulated the vitality of the broken body and dissipated the yin and turbid air accumulated due to physical exhaustion. The power of ice and snow relieved the burning of the body. As the meridians circulated again and again, those chronic diseases were burned away by the medicinal power, and the abundant Yang spiritual power was constantly internalized. Lin Du also changed from soaking in magma to soaking in hot springs. The time outside never stopped, but the time in seclusion was infinitely close to stillness. Lin Du could not feel the passage of time, and his entire mind was occupied by the refined medicinal power. She only has this one life, so of course she has to live, and she must live, at least for three to five hundred years. In the underworld, in the King Yan's Palace, the judge on paid sick leave casually flips open the Book of Life and Death, and the data on it changes every moment. People in the world think that the Book of Life and Death is fixed, and that a lifetime has been written since reincarnation. But for monks, this is not the case. Monks, from the moment they enter the Tao, they begin to practice, and everything they do, every choice, may change their destiny. This is the real practice. It is precisely because of this that the Book of Life and Death, this artifact, is real. The artifact is constantly evolving, and it constantly calculates everyone's future destiny based on the merits and karma accumulated by their choices. Before he became a judge, the judge really believed that fate was predetermined, but he saw more and more examples, and then he suddenly realized it. The so-called fate is predetermined by heaven. The cultivation and enlightenment of the cultivators are clearly also in the process of making choices. Through the enlightenment of the rules of heaven, they improve their own fate. Those who violate the way of heaven, such as giving up hard practice, enlightenment, and abandoning the rules, will have their lifespan shortened. It is just that the merits and karma of accumulated lifetimes make everyone's initial value no longer the same starting point. The judge turned to one of the pages, and there were two words written on it, Lin Du. The lifespan of ninety that the judge had seen before has been extended to five hundred. Although it is much shorter than that of ordinary Qianyuan realm cultivators, even not as much as a fraction of others, it is indeed much longer. The judge read for a while and closed the booklet. At that time, he exaggerated and said that Lin Du only had a little time left to live. In fact, he still had fifty years to live. However, for ordinary people, fifty years is too short. Now it seems that Lin Du may not live to the end of his life. Time passed little by little. Lin Du got used to the pain and did not feel tortured. When the burning feeling in her internal organs faded, the blood in her body stopped surging, the meridians stopped widening, and the heartbeat stopped deafening, she exhaled a long breath, patiently circulated and consolidated a few more big cycles, and then stopped practicing. Her mental vitality was basically the same as that of ordinary people, except that her appearance was a little fragmented.
Lin Du heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his body, and began to sort out his memories. In her
last life, after she left her body and became a ghost in the world of the living, she became more lively than before, no longer constrained by the weakness and discomfort of her body. She
did not have much experience in her life, but after her death, she ran around Zhongzhou like a wild ghost without any restraints.
In order to ask Granny Ma for help, Lin Du cleaned up many families and gray-zone chambers of commerce, and abolished those snake masters and forces who used snake techniques to control people to do improper things.
The world only thought that she was the most powerful corpse puppet raised by Granny Ma, but they didn't know that it was just an equal exchange.
She was not controlled by anyone, but only prepared for all her plans.
Snow-capped mountains, lava, the seabed, old forests, all the hardships along the way, now thinking about it, it is just like a light boat has passed through thousands of mountains.
Lin Du certainly wants to live, but she wants to live as Lin Du, with this life.
The goal of this life has not been achieved, she has not repaid the people, and she has not repaid the master. She does not want to forget everything and return to reincarnation.
After Lin Du finished stretching her muscles and bones, she stood in place, thinking about the last time she met Xia Tianwu in the previous life.
At that time, it had been several decades since Xia Tianwuxin died.
The decline of the sect and the rampage of evil spirits made Xia Tianwu reopen the alchemy furnace to refine elixirs and medicines that can usually remove evil spirits, and give them to the guards of Junding Mansion who are still defending Dingjiu City and fighting against evil spirits.
She had no strange fire, no fire spirit root, and could only use the most simple method, without any added fire, to refine pills.
Lin Du accidentally got a few pill recipes that were beneficial to him from Granny Ma. When passing by the old site of the Supreme Sect, he heard the news that Xia Tianwu had started to refine pills again. He changed his appearance, spent the remaining spirit stones on his body, gathered a large number of medicinal materials, and went to Xia Tianwu to refine pills.
It was winter, Xia Tianwu was in the mountains, very weak, pale, and under a thick white fox fur, you could still see her skinny body, empty and loose, and no matter how heavy the fox fur was, it couldn't stick to her.
Wu Xi stayed by her side, but Xia Tianwu never looked back. Seeing a stranger, Wu Xi was nervous and wanted to stay in front of her, but Xia Tianwu asked the tightly wrapped person in front of him, "Why do you want to see me?"
Lin Du was wrapped in a "shroud" that was not breathable, revealing only a pair of dull eyes with bright scars. "I have some pill recipes and want to find you to refine the pills. You have to bring your own herbs. Five thousand spirit stones. Do you want it?"
Five thousand spirit stones are not even a small amount for an ordinary pill cultivator.
Wu Xi thought the person in front of her was deliberately humiliating her, and she was a little angry, but Xia Tianwu stopped her, "I have never refined these pill recipes before, and the failure rate is very high. I think these medicinal materials are extremely precious, and the pill recipes must be rare. If you really want to find an alchemist to refine the pills, you can find an alchemist from Ji Shizong, which is more secure."
Lin Du knew that Xia Tianwu did not refuse because of the humiliation of Qian Shao, but because she was afraid of failure.
In the past, she had a strange fire, a master, and her own cultivation, but her success rate was not high, not to mention that now she is discouraged and only refines basic pills for emergency purposes.
But Lin Du always has his own way. Even if he has only met someone once, he can find the opponent's weaknesses and key points in the situation, not to mention people he is familiar with.
She said sincerely, "I have obtained these recipes and gathered these herbs. I have spent all my spirit stones and only have 5,000 left. But I am really dying and have nowhere else to go. I heard that you are the disciple of the number one medical practitioner, so I am offended to come here to ask. If you are not willing to accept, probably no one else will."
Xia Tianwu was moved for a long time after hearing this, "But I can't guarantee success. What if..."
"Life and death are determined by fate. If it weren't for you, I would have died even if I had herbs. You don't have to feel pressured."
Lin Du was not sure whether her plan would succeed at that time. Since Xia Tianwu could refine the elixir again, as long as she gave her a chance, she would have the courage to try other advanced recipes.
Even if Lin Du failed and could not rewrite the ending, Xia Tianwu might be able to come back to life, at least to find her original dream again.
Xia Tianwu really succeeded.
Lin Du didn't know how many times she had failed, but when Lin Du received the message, Xia Tianwu had become even thinner, so thin that it was scary, but the light in her eyes was frighteningly bright.
"I have refined your elixir."
Lin Du took the elixir and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Tianwu, "So, now I can still be a useful person, right?"
Lin Du paused. It was the approaching winter, and the ice was melting. The mud under her feet was winding and accumulating into a clear dimple.
"Yeah."
With just one sentence, Lin Du knew that she recognized him.
Xia Tianwu recognized him. She was a medical practitioner, so how could she not remember the habitual walking and standing posture of her acquaintances.
Besides Lin Du, who else would look for a useless person who had long stopped refining high-level elixirs?
Even though that person should have died, Xia Tianwu had a feeling that that person was Lin Du.
"Then in my next life, I want to be a more useful person." Xia Tianwu stood behind Lin Du, looking at that back, and his voice was louder than usual.
Lin Du took the medicine and left without looking back, stepping on the frozen soil, running in the opposite direction of the time of the living.
"Yes, I will."
Her words dissipated in the faint wind.
But Xia Tianwu heard it.
