God Rewards Those Who Work Hard: No Pains, 100% Gains

The spiritual field has already been planted, and it is still early to harvest.

Let the monkey do the usual daily care.

The four saplings used in the "Spiritual Wisdom Experiment" have also laid the foundation to become demons, and have entered the observation period, and it is still too early to produce results.

In the following daily practice, in addition to the step-by-step practice of Qi training, the rest of the time is spent on alchemy and wine making.

Alchemy and brewing of course need materials.

The spiritual field planted on the island in the middle of the lake has just been sown, so of course we have to find another way to make alchemy and wine.

Hmm... let Gao Zhengzhi do it.

Since the war between Zongmen and the Alliance of Four Factions started, even though the battle was at a stalemate, it was only a partial war, but it also made Gao Zhengzhi unemployed.

Both the spiritual weapon and the magical weapon have become "military supplies", and Gao Zhengzhi's business can no longer be done at all.

Gao Zhengzhi has come to Xu Ke many times to complain about his grievances, and now asking him to buy materials, sell wine and sell elixir is considered an additional business, so that he will not be too idle to panic.

Picking up the messenger talisman, Xu Ke talked to Gao Zhengzhi.

"Oh Huo? Lord Palace Master sent a message, what orders do you have?"

Gao Zhengzhi said in a strange voice.

"Don't be funny."

Xu Ke scolded with a smile, and said, "Seeing that you are in a panic, I found a business for you."

"Business? Haha! The Palace Master still cares about me!"

As soon as Gao Zhengzhi heard about the business, he became excited. It's also rare for a business to turn into a hobby.

"I plan to refine alchemy and make wine."

Xu Ke didn't gossip with Gao Zhengzhi either, and directly asked, "Prepare me some tools for wine making and alchemy, and then buy some raw materials for alchemy and wine making during the Qi training period. I'll practice my hands first."

"Alchemy? Brewing? Haha, this is good!"

Gao Zhengzhi immediately smiled, "Ordinary pills are not controlled by the sect, and spirit wine is not controlled. It is completely open to do business. I will prepare what you want for you right away."

After finishing speaking, Gao Zhengzhi hung up the summons, and excitedly went to prepare utensils and raw materials for Xu Ke.

Xu Ke smiled, put down the messenger talisman, and took out a bunch of books from the storage gourd.

These are the various spirit wine formulas and brewing techniques that Zhuo Muxian gave Xu Ke back then.

Because he hasn't brewed wine, Xu Ke hasn't read these books yet, and now he just took them out to study.

Picking up the books, Xu Ke flipped through them one by one.

These wine-making recipes and wine-making techniques explain in detail how to prepare the raw materials of various spirit wines and how to operate the brewing process.

The information is very detailed, the description is also very specific, each step is clearly stated, and the ratio of each raw material is expressed very precisely.

Even, during the brewing process, there are detailed and specific requirements for the concentration of spiritual power in the surrounding environment, the nature of spiritual power, and the surrounding temperature.

Zhuo Mu had obviously put a lot of thought into these spirit wine formulas.

Anyone who gets these spirit wine recipes, as long as they are not stupid and their hands are not handicapped, can learn how to make spirit wine by following the example.

For others, this detailed, specific, and highly operable spirit wine formula is definitely the most convenient and practical.

However, for Xu Ke, the specific operation details and process flow are not the most important.

When Xu Ke learns any skill or knowledge, he is not just trying to "know how to do it", but to figure out "why he should do it".

If you only want to brew spirit wine, then you can directly follow these recipes, and you can learn everything by following the example.

However, what Xu Ke wants is not just technology, but to understand the truth.

These spirit wine recipes do not involve any "reason" at all, but pure "operation techniques".

Xu Ke has also learned a lot of cultivation skills.

Drawing talismans, arranging arrays, refining weapons, as well as making talisman papers, blending spiritual inks, blending spiritual fertilizers for farming... and so on.

When learning these skills, they all found one thing in common. That is to say only the operation technique, not the reason.

This phenomenon is common in the practice world.

Why is there only "skill" but no "Tao"?

This phenomenon... If we understand it according to Xu Ke's previous life experience, it is: Migrant workers only need to know how to move bricks, and they don't need to understand architectural design.

Xu Ke is currently in contact with the practice world, only the Cangmangyuan area, and his understanding of the practice world must be limited.

Perhaps, in the vast world of practice, the Cangmang Plain is nothing more than a "countryside place", and all the monks on the Cangmang Plain are nothing but "country bumpkins".

How much knowledge can a group of "country bumpkins" have?

Xu Ke sighed, the monopoly of knowledge is indeed everywhere!

Leaving this issue aside, Xu Ke continued to look at the wine-making techniques until he had read all the wine-making recipes sent by Zhuo Muxian, and kept them firmly in his heart.

These brewing recipes are just pure "operation techniques".

It takes a lot of work to reversely deduce from these "operational techniques" and sum up the "reasons" in them.

Gao Zhengzhi hasn't delivered the tools and materials yet. Only when the tools and materials are ready and he starts to operate, can he summarize the "reason" from them.

After waving a wave of spiritual power, he put these spirit wine formulas into the storage gourd, and Xu Ke began to study alchemy again.

The same is true for alchemy, there is only "art" and no "way".

In addition to the "medicine material identification", "medicine material treatment", "fire control technique"...these general techniques, the rest is Zhang Dan Fang.

In this situation of "only alchemy, no alchemy", for an alchemist, each elixir is a new technique, which needs to be learned from scratch before it can be mastered.

Even if one is able to refine golden elixir-level pills, one has to learn from scratch when encountering a qi-training recipe that has never been touched before, and even has to fail many times before mastering this pill.

However, if you have mastered the "Dao of Alchemy" and understood the "principle" of alchemy, even if you have never touched a recipe of alchemy, you can understand the truth at a glance.

This is the difference between "shu" and "dao".

Xu Ke has no place to learn this "principle", so he can only explore it by himself and keep summarizing it.

"Junior Brother Xu, oh no, Palace Master, I'm here!"

Just as Xu Ke was deep in thought, Gao Zhengzhi called and walked in.

"Everything has been bought."

Gao Zhengzhi raised the storage bracelet on his hand, and said to Xu Ke: "I bought the tools and raw materials for wine making from the Lingjiu Workshop of Sinongdian. The furnace and raw materials for alchemy were bought from the Dandingdian .”

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Xu Ke got up with a smile, and brought Gao Zhengzhi to the "Dan Room" reserved by Kunwu Academy.

This alchemy room has already preset a "Lihuo Formation", which can directly call the spiritual power of the Hunyuan Formation to drive the firepower for alchemy.

Gao Zhengzhi took out the Danding, and under Xu Ke's command, placed the Danding in the "Lihuo Formation".

"This alchemy tripod is a golden alchemy tripod."

After placing the furnace cauldron, Gao Zhengzhi patted the furnace cauldron which was as tall as one person, and said to Xu Ke: "With my ability, of course I can't buy a treasure tripod of this level."

"However, after hearing that it was bought for you, the master of the alchemy tripod directly ordered someone to give away a golden alchemy-level treasure tripod. He didn't ask for a penny. He also said that if you need anything, just say it. You're welcome."

Having said that, Gao Zhengzhi winked at Xu Ke, "Junior Brother Xu... Uh, Hall Master, from now on, can I use your name and walk sideways in the sect?"

"Get out! You're not a crab, you're still walking sideways?"

Xu Ke kicked Gao Zhengzhi, "Cultivating seriously is the right way. Any prestige, any power, is just a fleeting cloud, and it's useless."

"If you don't build a foundation, you will only have a lifespan of a hundred years. Maybe one day, I will come out of a retreat, and you will be buried in the earth at the end of your life."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ke looked up at Gao Zhengzhi, "Do you want to do this? Do you want to see the loess in a hundred years' time?"

"Please be taught!"

Gao Zhengzhi looked upright, and bowed to Xu Ke, "I will definitely practice seriously, and I will never slack off."

"You and I have a deep friendship, and I certainly hope that this friendship can last longer."

Xu Ke stretched out his hand and patted Gao Zhengzhi's shoulder, "The Vast Sea Sands Kungfu you practiced is already the true transmission of Jindan. Your aptitude is not bad. If you practice hard, you can expect a bright future."

"Golden Core True Inheritance?"

Gao Zhengzhi was surprised, "How is it possible? The Hanhai Jinsha Kungfu is just a foundation-building technique..."

Speaking of this, Gao Zhengzhi turned his head to look at Xu Ke, his eyes widened, "Could it be you? Is it impossible? You still have this ability?"

"You know it, don't spread it."

Xu Ke smiled, "Hehe! My ability is greater than you imagined! Boy, work hard! A bright future is waiting for you!"

Gao Zhengzhi took a deep breath, and cupped his hands towards Xu Ke, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard."

The brothers who were hanging out together at the beginning are now walking farther and higher, and no matter how hard they work, even his shadow will not be seen.

Since my brother is so awesome, how can I be content with mediocrity? You have to catch up!

If you don't pay close attention to practice and practice hard, it is really possible: one day, Xu Ke came out of retreat, only to find that I have died of death!

How is this so embarrassing?

At this moment, Gao Zhengzhi deeply realized that as a monk, practice is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

"Is there anything you don't understand about practicing the Hanhai Jinsha Kung Fu?"

Xu Ke asked Gao Zhengzhi while sorting out the alchemy materials sent by Gao Zhengzhi.

"Yes! There are many more."

How could Gao Zhengzhi not know that this was Xu Ke's intentional pointing? He hurriedly asked Xu Ke about his doubts in his practice.

Xu Ke took the opportunity to explain to Gao Zhengzhi the practice method of the Hanhai Jinsha Kung Fu, starting from the first level of Qi training, all the way to the establishment of the foundation.

"Understand?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Ke asked Gao Zhengzhi a question.

"Got it! Got it!"

Gao Zhengzhi nodded again and again, "You speak so thoroughly, if you still don't understand, then I don't need to practice. With your guidance, I guess I should be able to build a foundation by the end of this year."

"When you are ready to build the foundation, come to me to build the foundation!"

Xu Ke said to Gao Zhengzhi: "I can use a large array of spiritual power here, which is more abundant than other places."

Xu Ke didn't say that he would help, otherwise, once a dependent mentality was formed, it would not be conducive to Gao Zhengzhi's future practice.

"Hehe! Needless to say? You have a lot of aura here, and I'm sure I'm going to take advantage of it!"

Gao Zhengzhi didn't say anything polite to Xu Ke.

This is where Xu Ke appreciates high integrity.

In the past, when Xu Ke was a farm student at the bottom of Hedong Fang, Gao Zhengzhi got along with Xu Ke in the same way. Now, Xu Ke is the Lord of the Palace of Sinog, and Gao Zhengzhi still gets along with Xu Ke like this.

Afterwards, Gao Zhengzhi helped Xu Ke put the wine-making cauldrons and vats in the backyard one by one, and then left.

Xu Ke walked into the "elixir room", intending to try his hand with the basic elixir "Huiqi pill" during the qi training period.

"Returning Qi Pill" is the basic pill used by monks during the Qi training period to restore their spiritual power.

This kind of elixir is everywhere, can be seen everywhere, and it is so common that it cannot be more common.

However, it has a very unusual effect. Huiqi Pill is a "universal" elixir, no matter what kind of spiritual root or skill, you can use "Huiqi Pill" to restore spiritual power.

In the past, Xu Ke didn't find anything strange about the effect of "Huiqi Pill".

Now it seems that the "knowledge" and the "reason" contained in it are not simple.

What method can be used to make the spiritual power of a pill adapt to all spiritual roots, adapt to all exercises, and achieve a "universal" effect?

Could it be that "Huiqi Pill" also has the effect of "Hunyuan Qi"? Can one breath generate ten thousand energy, and can be transformed into any kind of spiritual power?

How did this conversion process come about?

Even if Xu Ke uses "Hunyuan Qi" to transform other spiritual power, he must manipulate the operation of spiritual power to achieve it. A elixir, and no one controls it, how can it be done?

Xu Ke felt that the truth contained in this must be very simple.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the Hunyuan One Qi Formation, and the spiritual power was input into the "Lihuo Formation", and a burst of fire surged up.

Xu Ke officially started alchemy.

According to the recipe of Huiqi Pill and the "technical process" of refining Huiqi Pill, Xu Ke operated step by step, and every step was done in full compliance with the requirements of the recipe.

Fire lotus leaf, yellow root fruit, golden chrysanthemum, narcissus water chestnut...

A piece of material, accurately grasp the quantity, accurately grasp the timing of the fire, and constantly put it into the alchemy for refining.

Then... through the eyes of the sky, Xu Ke saw the various alchemy materials put into the alchemy cauldron, and the spiritual energy kept colliding, interacting and merging.

Until the violent and chaotic aura collided and interacted, it gradually became regular and stable.

In the end, the auras of various attributes merged with each other to form an air mass containing various aura attributes.

Dan made it!

With a wave of his hand, a wave of spiritual power rolled over, and a dozen round and bright pills flew out of the cauldron.

The alchemy was successful.

But... Xu Ke didn't understand the process of alchemy.

Through the eyes of the sky, Xu Ke saw the aura collision and interaction of various materials in the Danding, and finally realized the fusion of aura.

But...it doesn't make sense.

From the perspective of the operation and transformation of spiritual energy, this phenomenon of interactive fusion of spiritual energy should not be realized.

If manipulating spiritual power and colliding and interacting in this way, it is impossible to merge into one.

Xu Ke tried it just now.

With Xu Ke's precise manipulation of spiritual power, he couldn't do this, so there must be other reasons.

In it, what else is at work, and finally realized the interaction and fusion of various auras?

Besides Reiki, what else... oh, and the herbs themselves.

Alchemy is not only the interaction of spiritual energy, but also the interaction, transformation and fusion of the physical properties of the medicinal materials themselves.

So... this is the "way of changing physical properties"?

Alchemy, is actually the way to "good fortune"?
