Chapter 59 Bones
Songyan Mountain, with a trace of blood on his sleeves, Zhang Chunyi returned under the sunset.
In the bamboo garden, bathing and burning incense washed away the lingering smell of blood. Zhang Chunyi sat in front of the table, made himself a cup of tea, and began to sort out his gains from this trip.
First, there are the demon-collecting bags of two immortal cultivators, Ma Tu and Kou Youbo. The space inside the demon-collecting bags is not large. Apart from allowing monsters to sleep in them, there are actually not many things that can be stored in them. Precisely because of this, Monks tend to put more important things in them, especially casual cultivators.
After completely erasing the marks of their broken souls, Zhang Chunyi took out the contents of the two demon collection bags.
In addition to some scattered daily necessities and gold and silver, Kou Youbo's demon collection bag contained 40 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, 6 pieces of second-grade elixir Golden Threaded Jujube, and half a bottle of first-grade elixir and Shengyuan Dan.
In Ma Tu's demon collection bag, there are 20 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, two small bags of first-grade bijing rice, and a volume of the cultivation classic "Shuo Ma Shuo", but other than that, there is nothing else.
Looking at these gains, Zhang Chunyi picked up the "Shu Ma Shuo" that he was most interested in.
"Is it passed on from family to family?"
Opening it and looking at the preface above, Zhang Chunyi's expression moved slightly.
His fingertips ran across the preface, and Zhang Chunyi read it carefully.
Ma Tu's ancestor was a groom, who was not only good at raising horses, but also had a keen eye for recognizing horses. Later, this groom accidentally got a chance to become an immortal and embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
Xiangma said that it was the ancestor of Ma Tu who gathered some scattered classics and compiled a inheritance based on his own practice experience. It not only included the concept of galloping horses, but also included the secret technique of Xiangma and bone touching.
And compared with the imperfect and even somewhat patchy concept of galloping horses, the secret technique of horse fortune-telling and bone touching is undoubtedly much more sophisticated, and various cases have been recorded for comparison, even horse diagrams I also left a lot of insights on it.
The moon rises above the willow branches, and midnight passes without realizing it.
Putting down the classics in his hands, Zhang Chunyi had to admit that there were many strange people in the world.
In terms of pure contemplation, Xiangma is nothing, not to mention compared with the Taishang Dragon and Tiger Contemplation practiced by Zhang Chunyi, even compared with the Eternal Green Pine Picture, it is slightly inferior, but the secret technique of touching bones recorded in it is very impressive. Zhang Chunyi was amazed.
The demon bones contained within the monster cannot be sensed by cultivators before they are refined. They can only roughly judge the monster's qualifications through the monster's race and performance.
Identifying a monster's bone qualifications can be said to be a problem that troubles many immortal cultivators. After all, monsters with better bones can often go further and more smoothly. Even with the help of immortal cultivators, monsters that can break the innate restrictions can There are still actually not many monsters.
The secret method of touching the bones mentioned in Souma's theory can allow cultivators to detect the bones of monsters before refining them. This is undoubtedly a huge convenience and allows cultivators to choose the monster they like most, but it is a pity that this This secret method is limited to horse monsters.
"The secret method of touching bones is indeed a good thing. The ancestors of the Ma family who can create this secret method can be called strange people. The only pity is that it has great limitations."
Recalling the contents of the secret technique of Soma, Zhang Chunyi's wonder has not yet subsided.
In fact, according to Zhang Chunyi's knowledge, it is not true that there are no ways to detect the roots of monsters in this world, it is just that they are controlled by some big forces.
The most famous of them is the magic weapon Bone Mirror. A long time ago, an immortal in the Taixuan Realm cultivated a special demon artifact, named the Demon Mirror. It has two lights of green and white. The blue mirror light penetrates the roots of all demons. Once illuminated by it, any monster will have no secrets, and the white light will determine the monster's true spirit. Once it is illuminated, it will not be able to control its life or death.
Relying on the power of the demon mirror, this immortal once stepped on the corpses of thousands of demons and gained great fame. He was respected as the Demon-Slaying Immortal Lord and made all the demons tremble. However, later this Demon-Slaying Immortal Lord suffered a murderous calamity. , died inexplicably, and the demon mirror was also broken, making countless people sigh.
After that, countless immortal cultivators have been searching for the inheritance that the Demon-Slaying Immortal Lord may have left behind, trying to find the secret method of cultivating the Demon-Looking Mirror and reviving the Demon-Looking Mirror's majestic reputation. Unfortunately, no one has been able to make the Demon-Looking Mirror truly reappear.
However, those cultivators who searched for inheritance were not without gain. They found part of the inheritance left by the Demon-Slaying Immortal Lord, and used it to create the magic weapon Bone Mirror.
Although the bone mirror is not as magical as the demon mirror, the light in the mirror can break through illusions and see clearly the hidden bones of monsters. However, although the refining method of the bone mirror is not a big secret, there is a way and you can get it at a small price. , but the refining materials are hard to find, and generally only Immortal Dao Masters will take the trouble to refine it.
"In addition to the crane demon, the horse demon may also be one of the demons that Changqing Temple focuses on cultivating. Ma Tu should have left a lot of horses in Xiaolu Village, including even a demon horse that has just transformed into a demon. .”
"The current bone-touching secret method is still too limited. If it can be further deduced, from simple horses to all monsters, its value will be very different immediately."
Lowering his gaze and stroking the cover of Souma's story, Zhang Chunyi's thoughts kept turning.
"It's so weak."
Putting down the classics in his hands and looking at the bright moon outside the window, Zhang Chunyi let out a sigh. The cultivation of immortals has a very large demand for resources. He has a lot of things to do, but he has no skills. This time, the matter of the cold iron veins made him I have a deeper feeling about this.
Knowing that he alone cannot dig out the benefits of the cold iron ore in a short period of time, Zhang Chunyi has already made a decision in his mind about how to deal with the cold iron ore veins. Since he cannot swallow it, he can only cooperate with others. Now Zhang Zhong is running for this matter.
"Perhaps it's time for me to recruit some new blood into Evergreen Temple."
At this moment, such thoughts flashed through Zhang Chunyi's mind.
Before, Zhang Chunyi had no idea of attracting new blood to Evergreen Temple, firstly because of his own limited cultivation, secondly because of limited resources, and thirdly because of the slow results.
Instead of spending energy and resources to cultivate disciples, it is better to focus all resources on yourself. However, now the spiritual veins of Songyan Mountain have further grown, opening up spiritual fields, plus the Han Iron Mine veins that are about to be obtained. , its resources are enough to support several more immortal cultivators.
Coupled with the fact that the spiritual power of heaven and earth is constantly returning, this idea in Zhang Chunyi's mind has become more determined. People themselves are an important resource. If they can gather the power of everyone to support themselves, then the path to immortality will undoubtedly be much smoother.
"What cultivators seek is longevity, and what they strive for is not just day and night."
With a clear idea in his mind, Zhang Chunyi put everything away and walked towards the quiet room. In addition to these things, he also had more important trophies that he had not dealt with. Compared with them, even an entire vein of cold iron ore pales in comparison.
