The class group chat was lively for a while, but then the messages gradually decreased.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Yuan turned down the volume of his phone notifications, then closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and entered a state of mental tranquility and emptiness during his practice.
After practicing the mind-cultivation technique for an hour, Zhang Yuan finally opened his eyes.
Outside the car window, villages and farmlands along the highway flashed by. The journey to Shaxian was already halfway over. Zhang Yuan checked the time: 1:45 PM. In about 45 minutes, the car would reach Shaxian Station.
When Zhang Yuan was bored, a thought suddenly came to mind, and the "Notes on Alchemy" and "Notes on Cultivating Yang God" left behind by the Immortal Zhengyang appeared in his mind.
During this period, he was busy with final exams and alchemy, and hadn't looked at these two books for half a month.
I wonder if any new content has been unlocked?
As consciousness was activated, the book in the mind turned its pages automatically, just like a real book.
Hey, a new elixir has been unlocked!
Primary True Qi Pill: Effects: Replenishes True Qi lost during battle and repairs injured body.
Refining materials and methods: ...
Zhang Yuan looked at it carefully.
Although the recipe for the Elementary True Qi Pill was only a few hundred words long, Zhang Yuan read it very carefully, trying his best to remember the proportions of the ingredients and the refining steps.
This is another important elixir that has been unlocked in "Notes on Alchemy" so far, in addition to the Meridian Opening Pill and the Foundation Building Pill.
If he could refine a basic True Qi Pill, Zhang Yuan would be more confident and have a better ability to protect himself when he encountered evil spirits like the Evil Black Cat in the future.
After repeatedly watching and memorizing the method and raw materials for refining the Elementary True Qi Pill, Zhang Yuan had memorized them. Then, with a thought, Zhang Yuan closed "Notes on Alchemy" and opened another book.
Perhaps due to Zhang Yuan's improved strength, the "Yang Shen Cultivation Notes," which hadn't been updated in a long time, also unlocked a new page.
Talisman making!
Zhang Yuan clenched his fist excitedly and quickly flipped through the pages.
Talismans: Cultivators infuse their true energy and spiritual power into talismans by drawing specific patterns and characters, which are then stored for use in spellcasting or combat.
Talismans are disposable items, which have the advantages of being easy to store and carry, and simple to use. They can be activated by one's own intention.
To make talismans, you need: a brush, cinnabar, and yellow paper.
The book introduces the drawing methods and patterns of four commonly used talismans.
These are: Purification Talisman, Sealing Talisman, Thunder Talisman, and Fire Talisman!
...
While browsing through information about drawing talismans in his mind, Zhang Yuan digested and pondered it, even using his fingers to imitate the four talisman patterns in the notes on the back of the chair in front of him.
Before we knew it, the bus had arrived at Shaxian Bus Station.
Zhang Yuan dragged his luggage and followed the group off the bus one by one, but his mind was full of thoughts about drawing talismans.
After leaving the station, Zhang Yuan bought a bottle of mineral water at a convenience store, gulped it down, and then went to the station waiting hall to buy a bus ticket from Shaxian to Shajin Town.
Shajin Town is surrounded by mountains, and there are only four buses a day from Shaxian County to Shajin Town.
The morning and noon departure times have already passed, and the last bus departs at 4 PM, which is an hour and a half away.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan decided to wander around Shaxian County to buy materials for drawing talismans and also to look for a pharmacy to see if they had any herbs for refining basic True Qi Pills.
Shaxian County is not a big town. After asking a few passersby, Zhang Yuan bought the materials he needed at a general store and two pharmacies. Then he rushed back to the bus station and caught the minibus back to Shajin Town.
By the time they returned to Anping Village, where Zhang Yuan's family lived, it was already dark.
The village, dotted with lights, is peaceful and serene, nestled at the foot of the dark green mountains. In the distance, the rolling green hills lie quietly like ancient beasts.
Zhang Yuantai was very familiar with this scenery.
Zhang Yuan's parents had already prepared a sumptuous dinner and were overjoyed to see their son return with his suitcase.
Yuanzi, you're much stronger than when you went to school!
After not seeing her son for a semester, Zhang Yuan's mother was very pleased to see him looking healthy and radiant. She urged him to eat quickly.
The father took his son's luggage, placed it against the wall, and happily opened two bottles of beer. The whole family gathered around the dining table for a meal, enjoying a harmonious atmosphere.
During the meal, Zhang Yuan told his parents about all the interesting things that happened at Tongcheng University, and also told them that he ranked third in all his final exams and that he could get a scholarship next semester.
My parents were overjoyed.
Since he started cultivating, Zhang Yuan has become very sensitive to the Qi around him. During a meal, Zhang Yuan vaguely sensed that his parents' Qi and blood were weak and severely blocked.
Especially my mom, she looks much older after just one semester.
After the meal.
My mom was washing dishes in the kitchen when her old angina flared up again.
He squatted on the ground, clutching his heart, his face pale with pain.
Dad quickly took two pills for angina from the medicine box and gave them to her. Zhang Yuan poured Mom a bowl of water and gave her the angina pills to drink.
During this time, he secretly channeled a wisp of his inner energy into his mother.
After taking the medicine and with the help of her own internal energy to improve blood circulation, Zhang Yuan's mother's complexion improved, and the pain in her heart area lessened.
Zhang Yuan helped his mother sit down in a chair to rest, and then washed the remaining dishes himself.
Zhang Yuan's mother has had angina for several years, but it wasn't this severe before. This attack has made Zhang Yuan very worried.
There's not much entertainment in the countryside at night, and since his parents work in the fields during the day and rest early, Zhang Yuan also went to his room to rest early after his parents went to their room to rest.
Zhang Yuan's family was not wealthy, and their house was very simple.
A dim lamp, a wooden bed, a simple wardrobe and a desk.
This is Zhang Yuan's room.
The desk is still piled with high school textbooks.
Because Zhang Yuan was going to have winter vacation, his mother had cleaned the room and washed the quilts two days before Zhang Yuan came home.
Therefore, although the room was simple, it was very clean and tidy.
Moonlight streamed into the cottage through the window.
Zhang Yuan lay in bed pondering how to spend this winter vacation.
Practicing martial arts is essential. Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you must diligently practice in order to continuously improve your cultivation level. Eventually, your primordial spirit will leave your body, detach from your mortal form, and you will become a true immortal!
During this period, if one slacks off in cultivation, one's cultivation level will easily drop.
Besides practicing martial arts, you also need to practice drawing talismans and refining the newly unlocked beginner-level True Qi Pills!
In addition, Zhang Yuan also planned to refine some simplified versions of Foundation Building Pills for his parents to take.
The main function of the Foundation Building Pill is to strengthen the body and replenish the body's depleted Qi and blood. Simply put, it restores the body's functions to health and strength, laying the foundation for entering the Meridian Opening Realm.
However, the normal Foundation Building Pill is not suitable for most people, especially older people like my parents whose bodies are already declining.
Because the body cannot withstand the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan needs to improve the refining method of the Foundation Building Pill and refine a simplified version with a milder effect before giving it to his parents.
After organizing his plans for the month-long winter break, he began practicing Vajra Kung Fu.
About forty minutes later, Zhang Yuan finished his practice.
I noticed an itch between my eyebrows, which felt strange.
The vital energy in the body flows towards the space between the eyebrows.
During this period, he would feel an itch between his eyebrows whenever he practiced martial arts, and this feeling became even stronger after he took two Foundation Establishment Pills and opened up three major meridians in his body.
He looked through the "Yang Shen Cultivation Notes" but found no relevant records, which made Zhang Yuan quite uneasy.
Tonight, I feel a strong itch between my eyebrows; it's not only itchy, but also has a burning and stinging sensation.
So after Zhang Yuan finished practicing, he continued to meditate on the bed, using his consciousness to sense the changes at the center of his forehead.
