Chapter 334: The Possibility of Refining the Ghost Pill
Yan Xu still hasn't figured out what the weirdness is, is it a living creature, energy, or some indescribable and incomprehensible existence that causes the impact.
Even though he had consulted a lot of information from the Abnormal Pollution Investigation Bureau through Ames, killed two-digit monsters himself, and signed a contract with the devil, Yan Xu still could not come to an accurate conclusion.
Virgil is the only ancient demon who might understand the nature of weirdness. Although he is mentally retarded and unreliable, he will instinctively avoid weird questions and even show an indescribable expression occasionally.
Either this guy who spends all day rolling around in Playboy magazines is playing the pig and eating the tiger, or he has suffered serious psychological trauma.
Yan Xu instinctively thought it was the latter. Even if the demons were chaotic, Virgil's behavior was too outrageous, which was consistent with suffering psychological trauma, so he could only rely on himself to explore the strange secrets.
At present, Yan Xu only knows that this strange pollution from the outside world completely disregards the Basic Law. Not to mention the evolutionary speed that is fast enough to drive Darwin crazy, the extremely rapid growth and mutation without the need for additional biomass supplements is enough to make any scientist collapse, not to mention the completely unreasonable pollution.
This kind of pollution has transcended the body and mind and involves the soul and roots. It is simply outrageous.
If it weren't for the fact that the strange essence purified by the system was completely unaffected by external pollution, Yan Xu wouldn't even dare to touch it, let alone use it.
But apart from these, its strange preciousness also makes it hard to give up, otherwise he would not take the risk to try it with his cautious nature.
According to the theory of cultivating immortals, the strange essence can be completely called the meat Ganoderma lucidum or the longevity substance, because the regeneration of broken limbs, rebirth, immortality of the body, and immortality are precisely the strange properties, which are also what practitioners pursue throughout their lives.
The only problem is that there is too much pollution that needs to be cleaned up, especially the pollution to the mind and soul.
The contamination of the physical body causes mutations, which can be said to be supernatural powers, such as three heads and six arms or a hundred eyes.
But once the mind and soul are polluted, it means one has gone astray or has been possessed by an alien demon, and there is no cure.
Yan Xu now suspects that the essence of alchemy and alchemy in the strange world is to refine strange techniques, reduce the pollution of the strangeness, extract its essence, and then take the strange pill to seek immortality, or even more terrifying ascension, to the strange place outside the world.
If his guess is true, then those who possess ancient heritage in the strange world will be extremely terrifying existences.
This was not Yan Xu's random guess, because even with his brain, he could come up with several solutions.
The simplest thing is to refine the weird pill. As for the materials, you definitely cannot eat the weird pill raw. You can only dilute it continuously, that is, let ordinary people be contaminated by the weird pill. Eat it one course at a time according to the degree of contamination, from light to heavy, until the three flowers gather at the top of the head and the five qi return to the origin, and then you can achieve the great success of the weird way and ascend to heaven in broad daylight.
Fortunately, through understanding from all aspects, Yan Xu found that it was not as scary as he had imagined, and there was no need to worry about Li Huowang or Black Wukong suddenly jumping out.
Driven by curiosity, after making sure that the pollution would not spread, Yan Xu planned to try out the strange effect, and the first white mouse was Dongfang Bubai.
Because this is not a strange world, and the ancient background makes negative emotions and energy relatively thin, so the strange essence is not so active after taking it. It is more affected by the user's inner desires and obsessions. The greatest obsession of Dongfang Bubai in his life is
Dongfang Bubai, who had regained her life, abandoned everything and followed Yan Xu down the mountain without any regrets. No one knew that this tall, beautiful and domineering woman was the leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai, and they thought she had been rescued from the Demon Cult. Dongfang Bubai's success allowed Yan Xu to obtain more accurate data and a better understanding of the strange essence, but out of caution, at least in the short term, he did not plan to use a second strange essence in the Ming world.
In fact, the best way is to refine a strange pill with fewer side effects, but Yan Xu does not understand the art of alchemy, and it is even more impossible for him to really ask someone to refine the pill. He can only talk about it later, and he really can't spare more energy to learn the art of external alchemy.
Yan Xu gained a lot from this trip to the Demon Sect.
Given the style of the Demon Cult, the number of secret manuals looted is not small, but the most precious one is naturally the Tai Chi boxing manual left by Sanfeng Zhenren, which contains his understanding of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi. The so-called mental methods and moves are just the carriers through which they are reflected. If you really practice it as a martial art, you will be putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, Sanfeng Zhenren has always emphasized that Tai Chi emphasizes meaning rather than form.
Unfortunately, there are only a few people with such understanding in thousands of years. Master Sanfeng is just throwing a wink to a blind man, wasting his feelings in vain.
Therefore, Yan Xu did not say anything about the true meaning of Tai Chi, and it was useless even if he said it. The true meaning of Tai Chi of Master Sanfeng was too profound, and it had transcended the scope of martial arts. If those whose minds were full of martial arts were asked to comprehend it, they would fall into a maze and be unable to extricate themselves. Even he could only perceive it with the help of incense and sacred ways, and was unable to understand the mystery.
However, the inability to comprehend it does not mean that it cannot be used. Yan Xu intercepted the true meaning of Tai Chi and integrated it into the Tai Chi diagram drawn by Taoist Sanfeng given to him by Taoist Chongxu, and refined a precious treasure that was no less powerful than the Tianxin Ring.
Yan Xu did not intend to challenge Laojun by refining the Tai Chi diagram. Neither he nor the newly refined Tai Chi diagram had the qualifications to do so. It was just because it was the most suitable one.
Compared to the Tianxin Ring that protects the mind, the Tai Chi diagram, although of the same quality level, is much more powerful and can suppress all disobedience, thus becoming the most top-level treasure in Yan Xu's hands.
As for the upper limit, there is definitely one, but if he really encounters such an opponent, even if he has the complete three-piece set of Kaitian, he will not be able to escape.
After refining the Tai Chi diagram, Yan Xu became more confident about his next plan, so he came to the Zhenwu Hall.
Wudang Mountain mainly worships Zhenwu Emperor. Yan Xu certainly didn't dare to have any ideas about him, as that would be simply asking for trouble. However, the two generals, the tortoise and the snake, beside Zhenwu Emperor sparked his inspiration.
According to legend, Emperor Zhenwu was practicing fasting in Mount Wudang. His stomach was making constant noises, making it impossible for him to continue practicing, so he simply cut open his stomach, took out his intestines and discarded them aside.
Later, after listening to the Great Emperor Zhenwu chanting mantras and reciting scriptures for many years, his intestines and stomach turned into spirits, which transformed into turtles and snakes and came down the mountain to cause trouble. It was really a bit weird.
After learning about this, the Great Emperor Zhenwu subdued them and turned them into the two generals of the tortoise and the snake.
It looks like a mythological story, but it actually contains methods of spiritual practice, because the two generals, the turtle and the snake, are transformed from the intestines of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and they also represent the two energies of water and fire. Obviously, there is something mysterious about it.
Although Yan Xu's strength and realm were still far behind and he was simply unable to comprehend the true meaning, he had a system cheat and had cultivated the Tai Chi diagram, so he could try it in advance. So he asked to borrow the Zhenwu Palace.
Yan Xu wanted to use the Zhenwu Temple to comprehend supernatural powers, so Taoist Chongxu immediately ordered the mountain to be closed and personally led people to guard outside the Zhenwu Temple. This was to take advantage of his proximity to get the upper hand.
