Chapter 66 Soul
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was over, Xu Xuan began to plant insects for everyone.
Except for Xu Ling'er, who was devoted to her husband and raising children, and Xu Guangting, who didn't come to take care of himself in old age, the others were more or less sown with bugs.
Xu Yong planted three types: heart worms, kidney worms, and stomach worms. Although his combat effectiveness has not improved much, his physical fitness has improved a lot.
The prince's constitution was weak and he only planted heartworms to increase his endurance.
Everyone planted insects one by one.
Even Ai Xiru planted it. Before planting it, Xu Xuan did not hide it from them and informed them of the consequences of planting insects.
Everyone has no opinion on this.
Outside the thatched cottage, it ended with screams.
Aisiru walked out.
He clenched his fists and felt the changes in his body. This change made him let out a sigh of relief.
It's like going back to when I was young, with endless energy.
Ai Xiru jumped more than three meters high with a slight jump.
The old guy's state was noticed by everyone in the West. Ferri murmured to himself, "Can I also accept this divine power?"
Unexpectedly, he did not reject the Huangting Interior Scenery method. In the mythology of the Holy See, beetles are blessed by the divine power of the covenant, and most of the twelve insects look like beetles and can bless themselves, which is not contrary to tradition. .
As for punishment and control, it is more in line with their traditions. The gods must not be offended, otherwise they will take back everything they have given, and even take away everything they had before. This is recorded in their scriptures.
After asking, he found out that he could grow insects, which made him very happy.
When it was his turn next, Ferry was still determined and planted four insects in total, reaching the level of a ninth-grade master.
Next came Leopold, who planted six worms.
In the thatched cottage, Leopold woke up leisurely and felt the huge power in his body. He couldn't help but kneel down and kiss Xu Xuan's boots.
"Lord God! I swear allegiance in the name of the Holy Roman Empire and the heir of the Habsburg family. May your glory shine forever, and may all living beings praise your name!"
Leopold was much more talented and had good language skills. He spent more than half a year learning Chinese for daily communication on the way here.
"Very good, you will be the shepherd of Europa and the Western Emperor recognized by the Baidi Sect. In the future, you will collect all treasures to offer to your Lord..."
Xu Xuan tapped Leopold's head, and what he said made even him think he was cheating.
No way, it's easier for foreigners to understand this way.
This is a world where I am the only one.
Xu Xuan is definitely not willing to have influence only in China. In the future, the cavalry in the north, the infantry in the south, the maritime fleet in the west, and the colonies of all parties will all be shrouded in his majesty.
The existence of the method of seeding insects can control their senior officials without worrying about being betrayed.
Planting insects requires the cooperation of others. What if they are unwilling? Xu Xuan never worried about this.
Not willing? Some people are willing, but the direct lineage is not willing, and there are many people in the collateral lineage who want to be in the position. Xu Xuan only needs to spread the word, and no one in the queue can choose.
Soon, everyone finished planting insects.
Xu Xuan gave them brief instructions on the mission and said to them: "Third brother, it's time to prepare for the Northern Expedition."
"Yes! We will definitely make the Northern Expedition within five years."
Xu Yong said. I didn't mean to drag it out. After five years of founding the country, there are still many matters to deal with. Once the Northern Expedition is made, it can only be put on hold or even compromised, which will leave too many consequences in the future.
Ryukyu, Jiaozhi and other places are also being explored to expand their living space.
"Yes." Then he looked at Aisiru and said, "I will take a hundred true disciples and twenty divine envoys with me to search for some ancient knowledge or materials in Europe."
There have been exchanges between China and the West for more than a thousand years. The classes there are relatively solid, and it is common for families to be passed down for thousands of years. There may be some treasures that have been passed down.
"yes!!"
Soon, everyone left one after another.
The lively Yuelu Mountain became quiet again.
Xu Xuan returned to the thatched cottage and took out the little man in the bottle. There was a dark substance in the bottle, like black cotton, and the cotton had been dehydrated and carbonized. It was estimated that it could break with a gentle shake.
The cap of the glass bottle is an oak stopper with strange lines engraved on it. Xu Xuan always feels that it is a Taoist talisman, and the black ink is a ghost, which may be a feminine charm.
Set up the spirit gathering array and place the glass bottle on the futon to allow it to absorb the yin energy.
Three days later, there was movement in the bottle, emitting a faint blue light, and a gloomy energy rushed towards my face.
"I see." Xu Xuan knew what this was.
This is a ghost. This is the first time I have seen a soul.
At the same time as the Yin Qi appeared, the black cotton transformed into a virtual body, forming a blue translucent female face.
The woman looked in pain, her eyes were vicious, and she kept hitting the glass bottle.
"Die! Die!"
"Pain! Torture!"
A cold breath came, carrying a strong curse.
The Yin Qi attached to Xu Xuan was instantly melted and dissolved.
"It's okay to deal with ordinary people." Xu Xuan thought to himself, and then put it away.
This thing is not very useful. Maybe it can have different effects in the mirror world, such as absorbing spiritual energy to strengthen it and use it as a magic weapon. When necessary, open the stopper and release it to kill people.
It's impossible in this world. It would disappear as soon as it was released. Besides, how could Xu Xuan share the spirit stone with such a thing?
The villain in the bottle and the manufacturing method can be traded to Hong Yi.
Xu Xuan opened the pages of Western Alchemy and studied it carefully.
You don’t know if you don’t do some research. Once you do some research, you will be shocked to find that this thing is somewhat similar to the ancient Fang Xiandao.
Sulfur and mercury are also the main materials of alchemy, and the highest creation of alchemy is actually the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone also has the same effect as the golden elixir of Fang Xiandao.
Also advocating the eternal nature of gold and its properties of immortality, the most unique property of the Philosopher's Stone is the transformation of base metals.
Of course, Xu Xuan doesn't believe that taking a pill can make people immortal, and it's not in this world.
But it is probably a good material, just like the yellow buds refined based on sulfur gold in Eastern alchemy. This yellow bud can be sold for a good price in the mirror world.
Xu Xuan took a look at the introduction to alchemy.
"The method is quite simple."
Xu Xuan came to the cellar behind the thatched cottage, which was paved with lime and lined with rows of shelves containing various materials in wooden boxes, stone bottles, and cloth bags.
I took some materials as required, and then started refining the Philosopher's Stone.
The fire glowed red and the material began to melt.
With the previous experience in alchemy, refining the Philosopher's Stone is much easier.
Three hours later, the fire went out and a red powder appeared in the furnace.
Scoop a little out with a spoon and give it a gentle sniff.
"It's a bit like cinnabar, or mercury sand."
It has a certain effect, but it does not have the magical properties as imagined, such as melting when you want it to melt, and being indestructible when you want to be hard.
After that, Xu Xuan began to study while practicing.
At the same time, prepare more Yuan Pei Dan, Qi Nourishing Dan, and Shen Shen Dan to prepare for a breakthrough in Qi training.
On the other side, with Xu Yong's expansion and suppression, Tubo, which had nominally surrendered, finally could no longer withstand it.
Putuo Luojia Palace.
In front of the tallest spiritual pagoda, King Lotus performed a ceremony.
"The enemy-defeating king of the ancient world, future generations will ask for your magic weapon to help me go to Changsha to save brothers Xu Yong and Xu Xuan, and bring eternal peace to Tubo!!"
