Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Grafting and Fusion Pills - Liu Bang...
The material was not difficult to find. After all, Pei County was not very big, and Zhu Dan did not restrain the white snake. Instead, he urged it to go out and play more and share with him any interesting things it encountered.
Bai She also likes this very much. Zhu Dan gives her a high degree of freedom, making her feel that having a contract with Zhu Dan is the same as not having a contract at all.
Sometimes I have so much fun outside that I don’t want to come back.
Zhu Dan sensed through the contract that it was fine and didn't say anything.
This time Zhu Dan needed materials, so he simply called Bai Snake and went around Pei County to get all the things together.
In order to reward the white snake, she simply ran to the valley and collected one of the spiritual plants.
This spiritual plant has matured and produced seeds.
The advantage of spiritual plants over ordinary plants is that they can continue to grow after producing seeds. Ordinary plants will die soon after reproduction, but spiritual plants can live longer.
As for how many times this flowering and fruiting process can be repeated, it depends on its specific potential.
Zhu Dan wanted to let it produce more seeds, especially the last batch of seeds, which must have higher potential than the previous ones.
After all, every flowering and fruiting is an accumulation and transformation for the spiritual plant, and its genes will be optimized.
Zhu Dan wanted to get the best-optimized genes, but after she tested them, she found that they had reached their limit in terms of seed production.
The spiritual plant has shown signs of decline, and its spiritual energy has been lost, just like the qi and blood of a cultivator are beginning to decline.
As an alchemist, Zhu Dan is best at examining plants.
Not wanting to waste it, Zhu Dan picked this spiritual plant in advance and put it into the alchemy furnace. He also checked the other seven spiritual seeds one by one.
Fortunately, they haven't grown up yet, which means I still have a chance.
If we add another wave before they mature, perhaps their potential will be improved and they will be able to bear fruit more times.
Zhu Dan thought of several ways to deal with this. Since this place was formed by a natural formation, the formation here could be strengthened.
She had observed that the effect of this formation was similar to gathering spiritual energy. Zhu Dan herself didn't understand the formation, but wasn't there still a Wutong tree?
He is very proficient.
Unfortunately, although the idea was good and the materials were specially cultivated, it was discovered that the grade of the materials was not high enough and they were destroyed by the gathered spiritual energy after just a few days.
There is an effect on improving the spiritual energy in the valley, but it is not ideal.
Strengthening the formation in the valley would consume Wutong's spiritual power, which was not cost-effective compared to the improvement of the valley, so Zhu Dan gave up this seemingly great idea.
The second option is to ask the White Snake for help.
The white snake has the function of clearing the soil and gathering spiritual energy. It is indeed effective for the white snake to be busy in the valley, and its effect is better than the short-term strengthening of the formation.
However, the soil of the semi-spiritual field was not as easy to deal with as those of the experimental fields outside. The white snake worked tirelessly for three days and three nights before running through the entire valley.
I was paralyzed afterwards and it took me half a month to recover.
Zhu Dan felt that this direction was correct, but the White Snake was too young, so its own abilities were insufficient. Her thoughts turned to how to enhance the White Snake's abilities?
For this reason, she generously gave the White Snake a lot of luck, but the problem arose again. Because it was still young, the White Snake's speed in absorbing luck was limited, and the amount of luck it could accommodate at a certain stage was also limited. If there was too much, it would be wasted for its own protection.
Zhu Dan, Wutong and Tangyuan discussed for several days and unanimously decided to use the elixir to help the white snake grow.
It is said that humans are the most powerful of all spirits, but in fact, demon cultivators also have unique advantages.
Not only do they have a long lifespan, but they also have thick skin and flesh. They can often sleep for many years and their cultivation will naturally increase.
If the biggest shortcoming is their childhood, then those with good feet will be coveted for their flesh and blood, whether they are cultivators or their own tribesmen.
Not to mention those with bad roots, not only will their lifespan be short but they will also easily become food for others.
The natural selection of monsters is much more terrifying than that of humans.
Zhu Dan quickly selected a body-tempering pill framework from his collection based on the characteristics of the white snake, and then added and subtracted materials based on what he could find to tailor a body-tempering pill for the white snake.
The main medicine among them is naturally the only mature spiritual plant nowadays.
When Zhu Dan made this decision, her heart ached. She had originally intended to keep the spiritual plant. Although she had thought of giving the white snake some benefits as a reward, she had only plucked off a few leaves. As a result—
She did not use the first spiritual plant of Daqin for herself or for Zheng Ge, but gave it to the White Snake, whom she had just met. She felt it was a loss just thinking about it.
But how to say it?
The white snake currently plays a very important role. If it can be more powerful, the potential of the spiritual plants in the valley can be multiplied several times.
With it, there is no need to worry about subsequent spiritual plants dying due to lack of spiritual energy. It can be said to kill several birds with one stone. In the end, Zhu Dan convinced himself.
However, before refining the elixir, she chose to return to the valley.
"I'm so stupid! Because the Cocoon-Breaking Pill needs to break out of its cocoon before it can become a butterfly, and because the experimental field has the help of the white snake, the conditions are too good to bring out the advantages of the Cocoon-Breaking Pill, so I put this pill aside. I didn't consider that for the spiritual plants in this valley, the thin spiritual energy environment and the lack of nutrients in the semi-spiritual soil are difficult and arduous."
Fortunately, I remembered this when I went back to sort out the materials for the Body Tempering Pill. Otherwise, it would have been such a waste to wait until the White Snake was promoted to the next level before making arrangements.
Zhu Dan gritted his teeth and hardened his heart, throwing all the cocoon-breaking pills that he had previously extracted from Lu Zhi's luck into the valley. The pills could be refined again, but the puberty of spiritual plants was very short, and once missed, there was no way to recover it.
In order to observe the effect of the Cocoon-Breaking Pill, Zhu Dan was too lazy to go back, so he refined the Body Tempering Pill and the Harvest Pill in the valley.
The materials for these two kinds of pills have been prepared. The Body Tempering Pill is specially prepared for the White Snake, and the Harvest Pill can be used not only in the experimental fields outside, but also in this batch of spiritual plants.
However, according to Zhu Dan's estimation, the effect of the latter should not be as obvious as the former. After all, ensuring a good harvest of ordinary crops and ensuring a good harvest of spiritual plants are completely different concepts.
——But it is the opposite of the Cocoon-Breaking Pill.
Both sides have advantages and disadvantages. It would be great if we could combine the two! Zhu Dan had a wild idea.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, "Grafting and fusion... Wait, let me think about it!"
She remembered that Liu Bang was also known as the Han Dynasty's succubus. People in later generations often said that Liu Bang himself had little ability, and his greatest talent was knowing how to use people well. He could make those top talents submit to him, work for him, and bring out their strengths.
He was able to integrate Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Lu Zhi, each of whom had their own flaws, and create a prosperous era.
If we use the Mother-Child Pill as the framework, with the inner layer being the Harvest Pill, the outer layer being the Cocoon-Breaking Pill, and the buffer zone in the middle adding Liu Bang's luck, will we eventually be able to produce a pill that combines the advantages of the Harvest Pill and the Cocoon-Breaking Pill and develops them to the extreme?
Zhu Dan became excited: "Think about it carefully, this idea is not impossible to try."
Of course, this cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and the framework of Zi Mu Dan needs to be greatly changed.
So far, the mother-child elixir that Zhu Dan has refined is either the child making the mother perfect, or the mother making the child perfect, always focusing on one side.
But what Zhu Dan wants to do now is to achieve a balance between the internal and external elixirs and absorb the advantages of the two elixirs. Therefore, the final part must be that the two elixirs, which were originally like the boundary between Chu and Han, are fused together under the buffer of Liu Bang's Qi.
This change is quite big, as it directly eliminates the biggest advantage of the Zimudan. Strictly speaking, it is another new type of elixir derived from the Zimudan.
So Zhu Dan put it aside for the time being and refined the Body Tempering Pill first.
The moment the pill was completed, the white snake seemed to sense something, thinking that this was a good thing that could improve itself, and it actually emerged from underground, wagging its tail at Zhu Dan in a flattering manner.
The contract connected them, and the voices conveyed were even louder and louder, as if they could overturn the sky.
"Don't be impatient. I said this was refined for you. When have you ever seen me go back on my word?" Zhu Dan was a little displeased.
The white snake hissed, "Master, of course I believe you." This was not entirely because the two were connected by a contract, but because it had been with Zhu Dan for so long, and had seen how she behaved and knew that she was a person of her word.
But—"I can't help myself."
Zhu Dan was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Monsters do have many advantages, but they have one fatal shortcoming: they are too beastly, and instinct often overrides reason.
If you were more cautious, you could survive, but you would be caught by all kinds of bait.
For example, if Zhu Dan had bad intentions and poisoned the pill, the moment the White Snake Pill entered his stomach, he would die immediately before he could even rejoice in the tempering and growth of his body, and his flesh and blood would be peeled off and his bones would be torn apart by others.
Zhu Dan shook his head, but he didn't have to try to test the White Snake's patience.
She knew that as the White Snake gained more knowledge and grew up, it would eventually become more rational. With her around, why should it suffer since she could teach it slowly?
Zhu Dan threw the Body Tempering Pill to the white snake. The white snake jumped up and swallowed all three Body Tempering Pills as if they were candy beans.
Zhu Dan enveloped the white snake with his spiritual sense, observing its every move.
The Body Tempering Pill was indeed very effective. As the medicinal power dissolved in the white snake's body, its flesh and blood seemed to burn inch by inch, and it let out a painful roar.
It wasn't until two hours later that the rolling noise stopped.
The white snake has grown larger, but the larger size is all skeleton.
Originally, the White Snake had been eating and drinking well with Zhu Dan during this period, and the whole snake was plump. Now, the meat has been burned and tempered, becoming extremely thin and firm, which looks a bit scary. A layer of snake skin is tightly attached to the skeleton.
Sure enough, the first thing it said was: "Master, I'm so hungry!"
If in the past the call of "master" was forced upon her to follow Tangyuan's lead, now Baishe called the name of "master" quite willingly.
It knew that its current situation was all thanks to Zhu Dan, otherwise the grass on its grave would have been so tall, how could it have been promoted?
Zhu Dan called out Tangyuan, and Tangyuan threw some food to the white snake.
Zhu Dan watched the white snake devouring the food frantically, with a strange look in her eyes. Just when the white snake's body was tempered to a critical point, she saw a golden aura merging into the white snake's body.
That luck naturally did not come from the lucky dragon in her alchemy furnace, but more like a gift from heaven.
Zhu Dan narrowed her eyes. The White Snake's promotion was a blessing from heaven. The man and the snake were connected by fate, and she also gained a lot of benefits.
Zhu Dan had a feeling that although he did not have a Dantian now, he had crossed the threshold of foundation building. His physique had been reborn and he was no longer the mortal he used to be.
This moment did not last long, and I don’t know whether this method of building the foundation is not orthodox, or whether Zhu Dan is considering starting over.
The next second, as time turned to June, the hot temperature disappeared. It was as if the body had its own air conditioner, which could adjust to the most suitable state at any time, whether it was temperature or humidity.
Zhu Dan felt it and smiled. The greatest benefit of building a foundation is not being immune to cold and heat, but transforming from a mortal into an immortal.
Since then, many of mortals' physiological problems have disappeared. For example, when she eats now, she can squeeze out all the nutrients, and some waste gases are discharged through the surface of the skin.
For example, the menstrual period that had troubled her for a long time finally disappeared.
It’s been almost a year, and this is what Zhu Dan hates the most.
After all, there were no sanitary napkins in the Qin Dynasty, so they could only use expensive cloth to make menstrual belts. Later, paper was invented, but Zhu Dan was not very brave to use it for a while.
How could such coarse paper compare to cloth? Fortunately, she had spiritual energy to disinfect.
Of course, if you have to choose between not having your period and having sanitary napkins, the former is undoubtedly the choice.
Zhu Dan didn't expect that the bottleneck of foundation building could be overcome so easily.
She has no intention of becoming a mother now. Even if she suddenly feels overwhelmed by maternal love in the future, she can choose to nurture an egg cell on her own.
However, the impact of nurturing a life is still quite large. Zhu Dan does not consider it for the time being and shamelessly thinks that she is still a child now.
"Master, my body seems to have undergone some changes..." The well-fed white snake was adapting to its new body. Suddenly, it discovered something and spoke with a look of surprise and hesitation.
Zhu Dan, immersed in joy, frowned: "What's going on?"
"Master, don't worry. This should be a good thing."
