There are certain similarities between alchemy and medicine, but alchemists and pharmacists may not be able to solve all difficult and complicated diseases.
However, Gu Yao accepted the body refining technique first, because Hu Ting told him that the monk's son suffered injuries after practicing this technique. He was very curious whether it was due to his physical constitution or the defects of the technique itself.
He walked towards the young monk who was paralyzed in a recliner and reluctantly saluted him. He looked to be in his twenties. His father had already established his foundation, and it was obvious that he was a little exhausted because of his son recently.
Gu Yao took his pulse and probed into his consciousness to carefully examine the condition of his body. Xu Chen expressed his curiosity and observed together.
After reading it, Gu Yao was very surprised. He had never encountered such a situation before: "Have you ever encountered such a case? Not only the meridians are atrophied, but also the Dantian. Although the trend has been alleviated after stopping the practice of the exercises, from the symptoms, it has only slowed down." The
atrophy was so severe that the guy's life was in danger. Now, it is almost like paralysis.
"I have seen it, but the situation is different from his. Although the result is similar, who concluded that his physique is not suitable for body training? You take a look at the exercise book first. I suspect the problem is still with this exercise." Xu Chen replied.
Gu Yao nodded in his heart and sat aside to read the jade slip sent by the middle-aged monk. There were many people around him, but they did not urge him. Although the middle-aged monk was anxious, he had waited for such a long time, so why should he be in a hurry?
The young monk looked at Gu Yao with envy in his eyes. Gu Yao was about the same age as him, but he had grown into a person he needed to look up to.
Gu Yao was doing two things at the same time. On the one hand, he asked Xu Chen what caused similar situations in the past, and on the other hand, he read the skills in the jade slip.
Xu Chen did not hide the truth from him and told him about several common situations. The most common one was the Soul Devouring Insect. This kind of insect was often refined by monks. It would lurk in the monks' bodies and devour the spiritual energy in the monks' bodies, especially if it lurk in the meridians and dantian. When the spiritual energy in it is devoured, the meridians and dantian will naturally show atrophy symptoms.
Human creativity is endless, so the monks who take shortcuts based on the Soul Devouring Insect, especially the evil ones, have created a variety of derivative insects. Even if Xu Chen is knowledgeable, he dare not guarantee that he has seen all of them.
When this kind of storable insect breaks out of the body, it is time for the owner of the disk worm to collect it. This kind of storable insect is more beneficial than rare spiritual herbs and elixirs. The spiritual energy in the disk worm is fed back to the owner, which can save many years of hard practice. Especially for some people with poor qualifications, this method is undoubtedly a shortcut to rapid advancement.
Gu Yao was shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect that there was such a thing in the world, and it was refined by the monks themselves. It sounded too evil. He had never heard of such a thing in his previous life. However, in the history of the Guanchong tribe, it was introduced that there was a parasite in the insect tribe, which was similar to this situation. The powerful ones could even absorb the host's memory and control the host to hide among humans.
After a quick glance at the technique, it seemed that there was no big problem. This body refining technique was a relatively mild one, not an extreme one. However, after reading it once, Gu Yao felt that there was something wrong with it.
"Brother Ye, take a look too." Gu Yao passed it to Chi Changye who was standing beside him. Chi Changye was more knowledgeable than him about this kind of thing. After reading it once, he also passed the content to Xu Chen.
"No, this technique is incomplete!"
Xu Chen and Chi Changye made the same sound at almost the same time. Of course, only Gu Yao heard the former.
"What?" The middle-aged monk was surprised, "Is it the problem of the technique rather than my son's physique being unsuitable? Then... then didn't I harm my son?"
"This technique looks gentle, but it is actually very overbearing," Chi Changye's cold voice sounded, "At each stage, the technique requires a very large amount of spiritual energy. When the external supply is insufficient, it will draw it from the inside."
"Yes, this kid is right." Xu Chen praised in the sea of ancient knowledge, "This technique is indeed very powerful. How can this little cultivator who is already injured withstand it? The more he cultivates, the more he shrinks."
The middle-aged cultivator's body shook. He did not doubt Chi Changye's statement, because this result happened to coincide with his child's symptoms. It was caused by the domineering nature of the technique. It's just that their family has an ancestral practice technique, and no one has touched such a body refining technique, so they have no idea what consequences it will bring.
He smiled bitterly: "Senior Chi, I wonder what is missing from the technique, and whether my son's body can recover?"
Chi Changye said: "What is missing is of course a way to provide external supplementary spiritual energy, which is nothing more than auxiliary means such as spiritual herbs and elixirs. Without the corresponding means, this technique should not be touched." So he would not agree with Gu Yao's practice of this technique, otherwise it would produce similar consequences over time.
"As for recovery? Just take some targeted elixirs to supplement it for the time being." He was not very clear about the rest, after all, he was an amateur, Chi Changye thought irresponsibly.
Hu Ting and his friends had never seen this technique before, because it was something passed down from someone else's family, so they had never expected such a result. At this time, they had no scruples. When Chi Changye came over, he also read it. As a golden elixir master, he did see some inconsistencies in the technique, but he had little experience in body refining, so he was not as sharp as Chi Changye.
The middle-aged cultivator finally took the pills given by Gu Yao and left with his son with a wry smile. Gu Yao could only give a few pills for meridian repair and spiritual energy replenishment, hoping to alleviate the atrophy of the meridians and dantian caused by the exhaustion of spiritual energy, but he could not think of any good way to cure it, including Hu Ting.
The technique was left behind, but no one in the main guild was interested in it at all, and some even wanted to stay away from it.
Gu Yao stayed for the time being, and continued to study the technique while thinking about whether there was a solution. Xu Chen did say a method.
"Didn't I say before that you think all insects are evil?"
"Is there a good way? The method lies in the insect container? Could it be that the Soul Devouring Container is used in reverse? Wouldn't it be necessary to cultivate a Soul Devouring Dragon first?" Gu Yao asked curiously.
Xu Chen smiled and said, "You are quite clever. You can draw inferences from one instance so quickly. Of course, there are good and bad insects. There is a saying about medicine insects in the insect master. Using medicine insects to cure diseases is not the only way to devour people. However, the reputation of the insect master has always been not very good, so even if there are people in the cultivation world who practice this, they will hide themselves. And how many cultivators do you think can control themselves from touching the soul-devouring snake after knowing such a shortcut? Therefore, most of the insect masters will go astray, and very few can stick to their original intentions."
"But such medicinal insects are always precious. It is not easy to get them, let alone cultivate them. I have only heard about this, but I don't know how to do it. Don't count on Dan Pavilion. There is no record of this in Dan Pavilion."
Gu Yao was not disappointed. The existence of Dan Pavilion was already amazing enough. It would be too greedy to expect it to be all-encompassing.
Gu Yao recounted what Xu Chen said to Chi Changye. Chi Changye had never heard of the Gu Master, but he had heard of and seen cultivators who cultivated insects and used them to fight. However, it sounded a little different. It can only be said that what he saw and heard was still very limited.
Gu Yao left within two days, as he had something else to deal with. Hu Ting did not try to persuade him to stay, and apologized for making you make a wasted trip. "
President, you are too polite. This is not something you could have expected. I also regret that I could not help that Taoist friend. It shows that the road of alchemy is still very long, and I still have a lot to learn. "Because Xu Chen said that in addition to using the insects in reverse, if his strength is further improved, he can refine a pill to help the cultivator solve the problem. Even if his cultivation is higher and his alchemy skills are more advanced, even if the meridians and dantian are all destroyed, they can be reshaped. This makes Gu Yao very motivated.
Hu Ting watched the four people leave. Now that his grandson has completed his foundation building, there is not much he can do for his grandson except to help prepare the things for forming the elixir. Moreover, he can foresee that the time they stay in Tianlin Continent is getting shorter and shorter, and he feels reluctant to leave.
But no matter how reluctant he is, it will not stop Sun'er's steps. Only by leaving here can he continue to pursue his path of cultivation. After all, the space of Tianlin Continent is too small.
"I didn't expect it to be hiding in the Nanmang Mountains." The four of them stood on the flying magic weapon, overlooking the mountains below.
The Nanmang Mountains are extremely famous in the Tianlin Continent. Many mountains here are shrouded in fog all year round, and the fog contains miasma, so ordinary cultivators dare not enter easily, but there are also many places with rich spiritual energy, where many rare spiritual herbs grow, which are also desired by cultivators, so there are still many cultivators who go here to look for opportunities.
Gu Yao knew that there were many shops in Danding City that sold spiritual herbs produced in the Nanmang Mountains. Some merchants set up points in the safe area outside the Nanmang Mountains to buy their harvests in the mountains from the cultivators who entered and left the mountains.
"Let's go, let's go in. "Chi Changye glanced at the distribution of the mountains below, and controlled the flying magic weapon to plunge into the layers of thick fog.
The situation in the sky was discovered by many cultivators below. Seeing that the flying magic weapon plunged in regardless, they immediately started to discuss.
"Who is so bold as to risk his life? Who thinks this place is so dangerous that he dares to fly directly in with a flying magic weapon? He won't know how he will die then."
"Isn't it allowed that some people are so powerful that they have the confidence to rush in directly? For example, the senior Chi from Tianfu Academy, is there any place in the Nanmang Mountains that he can't go to?"
"Would the senior Chi have the leisure to come to the Nanmang Mountains? Tianlin Dalu only has this senior Chi, do you really think everyone can do it? "
