Chapter 66 Soul
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Xu Xuan began to plant insects for everyone.
Except for Xu Linger who was devoted to her husband and children, and Xu Guangting who was absent due to retirement, everyone else planted insects to a greater or lesser extent.
Xu Yong planted three kinds: heartworms, kidneyworms, and stomachworms. His combat effectiveness did not improve much, but his physical fitness did improve a lot.
The prince was weak, so he only planted heartworms to increase endurance.
Everyone planted insects one by one.
Even Ai Xiru planted some, and before planting, Xu Xuan did not hide it from them and told them the consequences of planting insects.
Everyone had no objection to this.
Outside the thatched cottage, it ended with screams.
Ai Xiru walked out.
He clenched his fists and sensed the changes in his body, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
It was as if he had returned to his youth, with endless energy.
Ai Xiru jumped lightly and jumped more than three meters high.
The state of this old guy was seen by everyone in the West. Ferry murmured to himself, "Can I also accept this divine power?"
Unexpectedly, he did not reject the Huangting Neijing method. In the mythology of the Church, beetles are blessed by the divine power of the Book of 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 tradition. The gods cannot be offended, otherwise they will take back everything they have given, even everything they had before, which is recorded in their scriptures.
After asking, he found that he could plant insects, which made him very happy.
It was his turn next. Ferry's will was still firm. He planted a total of four insects, reaching the level of a ninth-grade master.
Next was Leopold, who planted six insects.
In the thatched cottage, Leopold woke up slowly, sensing the huge power of 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 beings praise your name!"
Leopold is much more talented and has a good talent for languages. He spent more than half a year learning Chinese for daily communication on the way here.
"Very good, you will be the shepherd of Europe, the Western Emperor recognized by the White Emperor Church. In the future, you will collect all treasures to worship your master..."
Xu Xuan tapped Leopold's head lightly, and even he felt that what he said was second-rate.
There is no way, it is 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 only influence in China. In the future, the cavalry in the north, the infantry in the south, the western naval fleet and the colonies of all parties will be shrouded in his majesty.
The existence of the insect planting method can control their top leaders without worrying about being betrayed.
The insect planting requires the cooperation of others. What if they are unwilling? Xu Xuan has never worried about this.
Unwilling? There are many people who are willing, but the direct line is unwilling. There are many people who want to take the position in the collateral line. Xu Xuan only needs to spread the word, and the people in line will be too many to choose from.
Soon, everyone finished planting insects.
Xu Xuan simply gave them instructions on the tasks and said to them: "Third brother, it's time to prepare for the Northern Expedition."
"Yes! We must go north within five years."
Xu Yong said. It's not intentional to drag it out. There are still many affairs to deal with after five years of founding the country. Once the Northern Expedition is launched, it can only be put on hold for the time being, or even compromised, leaving too many troubles in the future.
Ryukyu, Jiaozhi and other places are also being attacked to expand their living space.
"Well." Then he looked at Ai Xiru and said, "I will take a hundred true disciples and twenty divine messengers with me, and search for some ancient knowledge or materials in Europe by the way."
There have been more than a thousand years of exchanges between China and the West. The class there is relatively solidified, and it is common for families to inherit for thousands of years. Maybe there are 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 black substance in the bottle, which looked like black cotton. The cotton had been dehydrated and carbonized. It was estimated that a slight shake would break it.
The cap of the glass bottle was an oak cork with strange patterns engraved on it. Xu Xuan always felt that it was a Taoist talisman. Black ink represented ghosts, which might be a feminine talisman.
After installing the spirit gathering array, he placed the glass bottle on the futon to absorb the yin energy.
Three days later, the bottle moved, emitting a dark blue light, and a yin energy rushed towards him.
"So that's it." Xu Xuan knew what this thing was.
This was a ghost. This was the first time he had seen a soul.
At the same time as the yin energy appeared, the black cotton turned into a virtual body, forming a blue translucent female face.
The woman looked painful, her eyes were full of malice, 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 and was instantly melted and dissipated.
"It's OK for ordinary people." Xu Xuan thought, 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 grow stronger, and as a magic weapon, and when necessary, open the stopper and release it to kill people.
It is impossible in this world. It will disappear in a short time after it is released. Besides, how can Xu Xuan share spiritual stones with such a thing?
The little man in the bottle and the manufacturing method can be traded to Hong Yi.
Xu Xuan opened the Western Alchemy and studied it carefully.
You don’t know until you study it. Once you study it, you will be shocked. This thing is actually somewhat similar to the ancient Fangxiandao.
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 and the Golden Elixir of the Fangxiandao are also similar.
The same advocacy of eternal and immortal gold and the characteristics of immortality, the most unique characteristic of the Philosopher's Stone is the transformation of base metals.
Of course, Xu Xuan does not believe that taking a pill can make people immortal, and it is not in this world.
But it is likely to be a good material, just like the yellow buds refined based on sulfur and gold in Eastern alchemy, which can be sold at a good price in the mirror world.
Xu Xuan took a look at the introduction of alchemy.
"The method is simple."
Xu Xuan came to the cellar behind the thatched cottage, which was covered with lime and rows of shelves, on which various materials were placed in wooden boxes, stone bottles, and cloth bags.
He took some materials as required and then began to refine the Philosopher's Stone.
The fire in the furnace was red and the materials began to melt.
With the previous experience of alchemy, refining the Philosopher's Stone was much simpler.
After three hours, the fire in the furnace went out and a red powder appeared in the furnace.
Use a spoon to dig out a little and smell it gently.
"It's a bit like cinnabar, or mercury sand."
It has a certain effect, but it doesn't have the magical properties imagined, such as melting when you want it to melt, and being indestructible when you want it to be hard.
After that, Xu Xuan began to study while practicing.
At the same time, prepare more Peiyuan Pills, Yangqi Pills, and Cunshen Pills to break through the Qi training.
On the other side, with Xu Yong's expansion and suppression, the nominally affiliated Tubo finally couldn't stand it.
Putuo Luojia Palace.
In front of the tallest spiritual tower, the Lotus Dharma King performed a ceremony.
"The King of the Ancient World, the descendants will ask for your magic weapon to help me go to Changsha to convert the brothers Xu Yong and Xu Xuan and bring eternal peace to Tubo!!"
