Chapter 33 King Qin’s Bone Mirror
The elixir fire is strong and the real fire is blazing.
The flames melted the lead in the alchemy furnace. Xu Xuan stared at the fire, motionless.
This is not refining medicine, but refining materials.
Since getting the alchemy method from Longhu Mountain, Xu Xuan discovered that the elixir can be refined in sections.
For example, the lead in the elixir can be refined into purple lead and stored in advance, and the gold can be refined into golden buds in advance.
The advantage of this is that no matter what elixir is refined, half of the work is completed in advance.
After practicing the elixir, Xu Xuan picked up a blackened wooden stick and studied it.
There is a magic called Talisman in Longhu Mountain.
The talisman is equivalent to a talisman paper that can be used multiple times. It requires the use of lightning strike wood, which is available here. There were many such things in King Ji's warehouse.
"It's a pity that one thing is missing." Xu Xuan thought to himself.
The missing thing is the blood of spiritual beasts.
This world doesn't even have the slightest bit of spiritual energy, so where do spiritual beasts come from, but there might be one in another place.
Xu Xuan took out a mirror, which corresponded to the scene on the other side of the world.
Hong family.
Half a year has passed in the real world, and five years have passed in the mirror world.
Hong Yi's yard is no longer simple, but has expanded several times.
In the center of the courtyard, Hong Yi sat cross-legged on a futon, breathing in and out, a light white mist lingering around him.
After a long time, Hong Yi opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"It's the middle stage of nourishing Qi."
After five years of practice, I finally entered the middle stage.
Then they came to another room, where the charming maid prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
After breakfast, Hong Yi walked out of the yard.
"Hello, sir!"
"Good luck, son!"
On the way, the slaves greeted each other one after another, and their attitudes were completely different from those five years ago.
Rich families have many rules. As long as they are not independent children, they must greet their parents in the early morning.
Of course, Hong Yi can be later.
When they came to the hall, most of the children of the Hong Mansion had finished paying their respects. When they saw Hong Yi coming, some people looked at him with eyes full of jealousy.
Hong Yi ignored these.
In the hall, a dignified-looking middle-aged man sat at the main seat. When he saw Hong Yi coming, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"You came?"
"Well, father, we just finished practicing."
Hong Shi thought for a while and said, "There is no need to come here every day in the future."
Then he pointed to the box on the table and said: "There are five low-grade spiritual stones there. I exchanged ten pounds of cinnabar with the mysterious man for them. From now on, you can handle the affairs of Wanxiang Tower. I am not very good at dealing with these people." Deal, it’s time for the industry to be handed over to you.”
Wanxiang Building is the department store that Xu Xuan knows. Because it is a large store, it is very famous in the local area.
"Thank you, father!" Hong Yi didn't refuse.
He has never been involved in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. After practicing Qi four years ago, he immediately went to Hong Shi and explained his situation.
Hong Shi was indeed not a fool. He was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately put all the concubines behind him, as well as his beloved children.
Practitioners in this world come and go, and when you reach the level of Hong Shi, you naturally know that there are immortal cultivators in the world, and the differences between immortals and mortals are huge.
Trapped in roots and skills, mortals can't touch the threshold even with all their strength.
Now that there is an immortal cultivator in the family, and he is also his own child, he would be a fool not to take him seriously.
This is an opportunity for your family to take it to the next level!
So Hong Shi tried his best to cultivate him. As for the origin of Hong Yi's technique, Hong Shi ignored it tacitly.
Next, Hong Yi returned to the house and exchanged five spiritual stones for the Qingjing Jue and part of the Chenzhou Talisman and the Jiama Talisman.
Immediately afterwards, two tasks appeared in front of the mirror.
The first is to exchange half a liter of spirit beast blood for a gold-sand cultivating pill, with no upper limit.
The second is the secret method of exorcising corpses, exchanging five spirit stones.
If Li Qingshi were here, he would be shouting why the price was raised so high? In the past, it could be exchanged with spiritual crystals or a low-grade spiritual stone.
In fact, Xu Xuan saw that Hong Yi was very talented and had a high starting point, so he raised the price.
"The technique of exorcising corpses?" Hong Yi's eyes lit up. This technique sounds evil, but it is really practical.
My family also has financial resources and has enough resources to raise corpses.
"The Immortal in the Mirror, I have one thousand taels of gold here, please exchange it for two hundred taels of cinnabar."
Hong Yi moved a heavy box.
Put it in front of the mirror.
The mirror glowed and the box disappeared. Half a quarter of an hour later, piles of red cinnabar appeared in front of the mirror.
"Yes!"
Hong Yi said happily.
The cinnabar that Mirror traded with himself is the source of his spiritual stone.
Only cinnabar can be traded for spiritual stones from immortal cultivators.
Next, Hong Yi planned to trade it himself. After all, his father was a mortal, and some arrogant monks immediately grabbed it when they saw that it was a mortal.
"But now that my strength is low, I can't be a shopkeeper. I will start from the counter and specialize in monk business. If people look at it this way, they will think that there is a stronger person behind me."
Hong Yi murmured to himself and thought of a brilliant idea.
In front of the mirror, Xu Xuan smiled and said: "This kid is quite smart."
Watching Hong Yi's growth feels like watching a TV series with a strong sense of substitution.
"Originally, they were my descendants, younger than me, and in a few years they would be older than me. After a few decades, they would be like ancestors."
The flow of time in the two worlds is different, which makes things seem a bit impermanent.
Xu Xuan's perspective seems to be that of a god, watching the rise and fall of generations.
These people worshiped him, coveted him, and feared him. But who knows that the self in front of the mirror is just a man in a world without demons?
Looking at the five thumb-sized crystals on the table, Xu Xuan was relieved and said: "After several years, I finally made money. There are 103 spirit stones in my pocket, and I finally returned to three digits."
"That's right!" Xu Xuan put away the mirror and suddenly thought of something. According to the course of history, Ming Dynasty will die this year, which is the moment when Chongzhen hung his neck from the tree.
So he called Li Jianxing and Zhang Duxiao over.
The two of them went upstairs. Zhang Duxiao looked much better since he took Xiao Qinglong Powder.
"Excuse me, you two. I watched the stars last night and the Emperor's star was swaying. I'm afraid Ming will die this year."
"What?"
"Ming dynasty……"
The two of them were very shocked. Could Ming Dynasty die? The feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty had been in chaos for many years, and if they could persist for so long, it would be too easy for the Ming Dynasty to fall.
"I need you to go to the north, trade secret techniques with fellow Taoists from the north, and then go to the palace to see Chongzhen. If he is willing to reveal the royal secrets, especially the Jiajingnian secrets, we can save his life."
Xu Xuan pushed out a box full of gold and a stack of talisman papers, and said, "You can keep these for use."
"yes!"
The two took over the task.
The continuous flow of gold over the years, as well as the thousands of pounds of rice grown in Huguang, have resulted in a large number of followers of the Baidi Sect.
In troubled times, monsters will inevitably emerge, and the Baidi Sect has squeezed the living space of many chaotic religions.
Guangdong, a mansion.
Sutra flags were hung high inside the residence, and bursts of chanting came from the largest hall.
Most of the people in the hall are wearing white robes and lotus crowns. The closer the people are to the front, the more exquisite the patterns on their clothes are.
The moxa smoke curls up and lingers.
There is an exquisite-looking woman sitting on the lotus platform. The woman is holding a bronze mirror and holding flowers in her left hand. Believers from all over the world cheer and worship.
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty!"
Yes, this is the White Lotus Sect.
Soon, a sick believer came up. The saint pointed out the lesions and gave him some talisman water. The man's complexion suddenly improved a lot.
The miraculous scene greatly enhanced the fanaticism of the believers.
After most of the believers left, only a few senior officials remained.
"Why are there so few people?" Saint White Lotus asked as she placed the mirror on the altar.
"Back to the Holy Maiden, they all believe in the Baidi Sect. The Baidi Sect originated from Huguang. It is said that the founder Xu Tianshi is an expert in magic."
"Nonsense! The only real immortal in the world is Bai Lian. Where did the Bai Emperor Sect come from? How dare you pretend to be a god or a ghost." The saint raised her eyebrows and scolded.
"Saint, calm down!"
All the senior executives were so frightened that they knelt down.
The saint looked at the mirror intently, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes, and said, "I want to see what they are capable of!"
I saw everyone in the mirror, and their internal organs, bones, and blood vessels were clearly visible.
Every generation of saints is not a cultivator because there is no spiritual energy in this world. But they can see the real image in the mirror, human bones and internal organs, so their medical skills and martial arts are extremely high, and they are the best in the world. Coupled with Shi Fu Shui and other tricks to pretend to be gods and ghosts, the White Lotus Sect expanded.
This is a rare treasure from the Pre-Qin Dynasty, a sacred object of the White Lotus Sect - the Bone Mirror of King Qin.
