Chapter 24: Refining Qi requires removing miasma
Sun Zhang glanced at Su Changyu and explained patiently: "Mortals who want to practice cultivation need to get rid of the miasma in their bodies. You mortals who have returned from the place of exile, the concentration of miasma in your body is far higher than that of ordinary people. So if you don't get rid of the miasma, It cannot be practiced.”
Su Changyu frowned and said, "I have known about this for a long time. I wonder how to get rid of this miasma?"
Sun Zhang said: "There are many ways to remove miasma. One is the pure body spirit pool on the island. Soaking in the spirit pool for a day and night can remove all miasma from the body. Unfortunately, the materials required to open the spirit pool are amazing. Although our Liuli Island is wealthy, we can only open it once every three years. Let me think about it, the last time it was opened was a year ago, which means that it will take almost two years to wait until the spirit pool is opened. "
"Besides, the number of places to enter the spirit pool is limited and the competition is fierce. How can outsiders like you without foundation be able to outdo the people on the island." Sun Zhang shook his head and said.
"What about other methods?" Su Changyu continued to ask.
"The second is to practice the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra", which can be combined with specific medicines and diets. Over time, it can change one's own physique and eventually completely remove the miasma from the body. Although this method is time-consuming and often requires five or six years of effort, it is successful. It is stable. There is no need to pay any special price. The "Xuanhuang Qingxin Curse" and the corresponding elixirs can be purchased in the drugstore on the island."
"Five or six years..." Su Changyu murmured in a low voice, and then asked unwillingly, "What else is there?"
"The third method is to become a test subject." At this point, Sun Zhang's face became a little ugly, as if he had some uncontrollable fear. However, he still answered Su Changyu out loud.
"Experimental subject?" Su Changyu was a little confused.
"That's right. Some immortal masters are very interested in the miasma in our mortal bodies. Every year, volunteers are selected from the mortals on the island to serve as experimental subjects. The immortal masters will use special means to continuously extract the miasma from the experimental bodies and use For research. It won’t take a few months to remove the miasma from the experimental body.”
As if he thought of something, Sun Zhang's face turned pale: "It's just that this process is too painful. It can be said that you can't live or die. Often, most people can't hold on until the miasma is completely extracted. Completely tortured and crazy.”
"I don't recommend you use this method. It's really not something ordinary people can endure."
Su Changyu didn't know if he had listened to Sun Zhang's suggestion. He just remained silent for a moment and then asked, "Is there any other way?"
Sun Zhang shook his head: "It is said that the direct mortal descendants of those immortal masters can use genius treasures to reshape their bodies. Not only can they no longer have to worry about miasma, but they can also improve their cultivation qualifications. However, this method is not something you and I can do. It’s unimaginable. Even our Liuli Island Master doesn’t have this kind of treatment.”
"That's all I know. If you really want to practice, you should think about it carefully in the next few days."
Come on, Sun Zhang saw Su Changyu's somewhat lost look, and couldn't help but persuade him: "I know that you all have a heart for the Tao when you returned from the place of exile after going through all kinds of hardships. Who didn't do it at the beginning? "
"It's a pity that the immortal way is really difficult. Even if you can get rid of the miasma, there are very few people who can sense the aura of heaven and earth and guide the aura into the body. Why bother yourself? There is nothing wrong with being a mortal." Sun Sun Zhang seemed to be comforting Su Changyu, and he also seemed to be comforting himself.
"With the invisible nourishment of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even if you are unable to practice, you can live longer than in the place of exile. It is not in vain that your family spent a huge price to send you out."
"Instead of pursuing the immortal way, it is better to enjoy life, enjoy yourself and live in the present."
…
After Sun Zhang finished speaking, he left.
Some of the people present looked happy and believed Sun Zhang's words, as if they had found an excuse to indulge; some could not accept the difficulty of cultivating immortals and burst into tears for a while; some looked sad and didn't know what to do. good……
Only Su Changyu's face was firm, as if he had made some kind of determination.
Seeing everyone's reactions one by one, Li Fan sneered in his heart.
Without meddling in other people's business, Li Fan quietly left while everyone was distracted.
After asking around, I found the place on the island where you can get free housing.
Li Fan showed the magic talisman, and then was led by a dedicated person to the residential area in the northern part of Liuli Island.
There are countless houses densely packed here, some are empty, and some are already occupied.
Most of these houses have only one room. Fortunately, they have small yards separated by walls, so they don't look too shabby.
"This is the seventh room of the six columns." He handed the key to Li Fan impatiently, and the man left in a hurry.
Li Fan opened the courtyard door, walked in, and closed the door behind him.
The room was very simple, with only a bed and a few tables and chairs, which Li Fan was not used to.
But he didn't care about these foreign objects. After briefly cleaning them, Li Fan took a rest and thought about his future plans.
"I had good luck at the beginning, and settled down without much effort. It was also a blessing to those people who left the world. Unfortunately, except for one Su Changyu, the rest of this group seemed to be mediocre people, and they had no intention of pursuing the Tao. It’s hard to become a great tool.”
"This living place is actually a bit crude, but there is no need to worry about safety. I have asked before that there are immortal masters on Liuli Island, and it has been a long time since any daring people have committed any crime."
"The next primary goal is to get rid of the miasma in the body. Although the quota to enter the Pure Body Spirit Pond is precious, there are countless treasures collected from my Taiyan Boat. It must not be difficult to force a quota. The disadvantage is that it is too much. Showing off is the so-called wealth. As a foreigner with no foundation, I must be carefully planned when I suddenly reveal so much wealth."
…
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Li Fan's thoughts.
"Who?" Li Fan suddenly became wary.
"Me." The voice was a little low and sounded familiar.
Li Fan calmly took out the Taiyan Zhou, took out a dagger and hid it in his sleeve.
Opening the door a crack, Li Fan saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.
It turned out to be the fat man who tried to chat with him before.
Li Fan decisively chose to close the door.
"Wait a minute..." The fat young man quickly blocked it with his hands and whispered, "You are not one of our Li Jie."
"What?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment.
The fat man took the opportunity to get in.
He looked at Li Fan and said maliciously: "Who are you, and what is your purpose of sneaking into Liuli Island?"
"How do you know I'm not a deviant?" Li Fan asked.
The fat man looked disdainful: "When I fell into the water, I vaguely saw your sneaky figure. At first I thought it was an illusion. After seeing your performance last night, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong, so I kept a close eye on it. See You were eager to find a house, so I followed you quietly to test it out. "
"Sure enough, young master, you showed your flaws as soon as I gave it a try." The fat man was a little proud.
"It seems that you are somewhat shrewd and attentive." Li Fan nodded.
"Of course, except for me, none of those idiots noticed that a stranger had sneaked in."
"Is it true that no one else discovered this except you?" Li Fan asked.
"Of course! How can those idiots be compared with me..."
In the middle of what he was saying, the fat man couldn't say any more.
Because a sharp dagger had pierced his chest.
Looking at the fat man lying on the ground, Li Fan had no expression on his face.
