Martial arts were completely ineffective against the two unconscious, tattered Spirit Vein.
Zhang Rongfang was also feeling confused.
He sat cross-legged on the Prayer Mat, remaining silent for a long time before finally putting these worries behind him.
Never mind, let's improve our martial arts first. After Breaking Limits of the last Talisman Art, we can learn the Limit State of the Great Dao Sect.
Anyway, I'm still a long way from the late stage of Refining Spirit. In the meantime, I'll secretly improve my martial arts while simultaneously gathering information on Spiritization.
'I refuse to believe that anything in this world is completely flawless.'
He immediately focused his mind, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate his Civilian Skill.
As soon as he began his cultivation, he noticed that something subtle seemed to have changed about him.
This is even more clearly reflected in the Attribute Panel.
Zhang Rongfang – Life 48-48.
"My life limit was 47 before? Now it's inexplicably increased by a little?"
"It seems this is due to the transformation of the cultivation technique," he guessed to himself.
The legendary skill truly lives up to its reputation.
It has only just been transformed and its level has not yet been upgraded, yet it has already gained some more Life Attribute.
Having confirmed the effectiveness of the technique, Zhang Rongfang completely immersed himself in the cultivation of the Civilian Skill, forgetting himself and the world around him.
Time flows slowly.
Day after day.
Under Yue Dewen's arrangement, he moved into the small building with the black and white portrait.
The entire first floor of that small building was covered with black and white portraits.
The second and third floors are decorated with colorful paintings.
Chongxuan didn't seem to live there often; it was mostly Zhang Rongfang stayed there.
Soon, five days later, a new Attribute Points was generated.
Zhang Rongfang increasingly felt that the increase in Attribute Points was too slow. He planned to look for a way through his alchemy skills to see if he could find a pill that could speed up absorption and strengthen the spleen and stomach's absorption capacity.
And this new attribute.
He hesitated for a moment, but still decided to allocate points to his alchemy skill.
Although Chong Xuan Daoist has a special status, it seems that he has not been reassigned to his position in the Pill Hall.
He was still allowed to study alchemy under the Daoist Qing You.
In fact, although Qingyou is not the most accomplished Pill Master in the Pill Hall, he is among the best in training newcomers and there is no need to replace him.
In addition, Chongxuan did not fully reveal Zhang Rongfang's new identity, but only spread Zhang Ying's identity among the Palace Master and Hall Master.
Living in the small building, Zhang Rongfang would occasionally run into Zhang Qingzhi.
The other party lives in a small courtyard behind the small building.
The two occasionally practiced martial arts together and exchanged experiences, which was quite nice.
Zhang Rongfang also had a good impression of Zhang Qingzhi. It was Zhang Qingzhi who helped him get into the Pill Hall.
It was handled very well.
Two days later, in the Gathering Fire Basin, in cave number 134.
"That concludes today's explanation." The Daoist Qing You said calmly, holding his whisk, as he rose to leave.
"Please wait, Pill Master." Zhang Rongfang hurriedly stood up and called out to the other party.
"This disciple has some questions I would like to ask Pill Master," he said earnestly and respectfully.
Originally, he planned to ask Chong Xuan Daoist if he could obtain a prescription to enhance the absorption capacity of the spleen, stomach, and intestines.
But upon reflection, Chongxuan was ultimately a high-level cultivator who advocated the path of Spiritization Worship God.
This man is cunning and shrewd; if you can avoid alerting him, try not to go near him.
Zhang Rongfang was worried that even the slightest trace might be noticed by Master Chongxuan.
In just over ten minutes, the other party was able to see through all the secrets of his body. They could even see that he was missing Gathering Spirit Talisman.
His strength and medical skills are truly terrifying.
So he planned to learn alchemy on his own first, since he now had Attribute Points to allocate, so he could learn it very quickly.
There's also the protection of the Great Dao Sect for your safety, so there's no need to worry.
As for my sister, being Spirit Noble, she's unlikely to encounter any problems.
Now there's plenty of time; they can develop gradually.
"What can I do for you?" Qingyou asked in Qingyou voice.
He was quite satisfied with Zhang Ying, this diligent and inquisitive new Daoist disciple. Even without the Dan Tang Master's intervention these past few days, he had planned to nurture him properly.
Especially in the last few days, Zhang Ying's understanding and mastery of alchemy has been very rapid.
Many times, he thought that the person helping him was not a newcomer at all, but an old Daoist disciple who had studied for many years.
Zhang Ying's mastery of fire-controlling techniques is extremely solid. He also understands various simple alchemical formulas and can grasp the principles at a glance.
In comparison, the Chui Xi, which I had previously found easy to use, now seemed extremely clumsy.
Qingyou sighed inwardly, not glancing at Chui Xi, who stood beside her with wide, somewhat dejected eyes. She waited for Zhang Ying to speak.
"That's right," Zhang Rongfang quickly replied. "Some of my friends are born with weak digestive systems and are not good at absorbing the essence of food. Are there any elixirs that can strengthen this ability?"
"Is the spleen, stomach, and intestines absorbing nutrients poorly? It depends on whether it's due to insufficient gastric motility or poor intestinal absorption after food has been broken down. It could also be due to spleen deficiency leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, with different treatments for each."
"The five internal organs of the human body all have yin and yang; only when they are balanced and harmonious can they thrive. Medicine should not be used indiscriminately," Qingyou replied earnestly.
"My friend has seen many famous doctors, and the diagnosis is always the same."
"Everyone says it's because he has a naturally weak ability to absorb nutrients," Zhang Rongfang.
He now has a better understanding of himself, thanks to his improved alchemy skills.
He had a vague feeling that his Attribute Points were mainly accumulated through the absorption of food by his intestines.
The mouth and stomach both process food into a state that the intestines can digest and absorb, thus enabling its absorption.
Therefore, the intestines are the ones that truly absorb nutrients.
The functions of the other digestive organs are to secrete digestive juices and grind food through mechanical movements.
Only the gut is the true site of absorption.
With his martial arts physique, his muscles are incredibly powerful, and the strength of his internal organs, including the secretion of digestive juices, is also remarkable.
Upon closer examination, the only crucial part should be the intestines.
This conclusion coincides with the modern medical theories he had heard in his previous life.
"Absorption capacity?" Qingyou pondered for a moment. "I do have a few formulas we can try. I'll tell you and you remember them."
"Yes." Zhang Rongfang quickly took out paper and pen.
"Closing Yang Pill can enhance absorption, but excessive consumption can cause dryness and heat, leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang in the spleen and stomach."
One Consistent Powder can enhance absorption, but it contains hidden toxicity and should not be taken for a long time.
Qingyou recited two prescriptions in a row, then paused.
"In fact, if there is really no other way, and one is born with a weak constitution, one can make the food into liquids that are easier to absorb and digest. And one should eat large meals in small, frequent meals."
On the one hand, this can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach; on the other hand, eating small portions more frequently also aids absorption.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rongfang's eyes lit up.
Yes!
He had been stuck in a misconception.
They believed that they needed to find a blood-replenishing formula to accelerate the accumulation of Attribute Points.
However, blood-tonifying formulas actually put a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines.
However, if the blood-tonifying medicine is taken in multiple doses at different times, and the amount of food is increased, Zhang Rongfang's mind will be opened after being Qingyou by Qingyou's words.
A multitude of methods flashed through my mind.
"Thank you Pill Master!" Without saying a word, he quickly slipped a roll of something into Qingyou's sleeve while Chui Xi was tidying up other things.
"Hmm. Go back and try it with your friend. If that doesn't work, then come back and ask me. Actually, it would be best if you came in person."
Qingyou glanced at the face value of the scroll, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
"Thank you for your guidance, Pill Master. I certainly will," Zhang Rongfang said respectfully.
Qingyou nodded in satisfaction and prepared to leave the cave with her hands behind her back.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, stopped in his tracks, and turned around.
"Oh right, I remember seeing before that there were martial arts techniques specifically for practicing eating."
This kind of martial art seems to be able to strengthen a person's digestive and absorptive abilities. If you're interested, you can look for it.
"As for the alchemical formulas, you can go to the Pill Hall Library, give them my name, and look for the shared alchemical texts. They should have records there."
Zhang Rongfang carefully memorized it again, then clasped his hands in a fist and bowed. "Thank you, Pill Master!"
Qingyou nodded and turned to leave completely.
Now that Zhang Ying is under the care of the Dan Tang Master, he is generous in giving her more preferential treatment.
Watching the other person leave, Zhang Rongfang said goodbye to Chui Xi and then planned to go to Pill Hall Library.
He couldn't wait to try out the pill formula that Qingyou had just mentioned.
"If you're looking for martial arts techniques, you can go to the Black Cloud Pavilion," Chui Xi suggested. "It contains a wide variety of martial arts techniques; you can take a look."
"Thank you," Zhang Rongfang nodded in thanks.
"You're welcome. I've only been there once, but there are too many martial arts styles there, making it difficult to choose," Chui Xi said.
"OK."
Just as Zhang Rongfang was about to leave the cave, he saw Chui Xi standing to the side, looking hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing. You go ahead with your work." Chui Xi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't speak.
After all, she hadn't known Zhang Ying for very long, so there were many things she couldn't say.
Moreover, the conditions offered by that person were so good; all she needed to do was provide some information about Zhang Ying's whereabouts.
This is incredibly profitable.
She didn't immediately point it out.
Anyway, even if Zhang Ying doesn't tell anyone, that person can find out her whereabouts from other people, so it's better for him to earn the money himself.
As long as you don't leave Heavenly Treasure Palace, there's absolutely no danger.
Various thoughts flashed through Chui Xi's mind.
"Alright. I'll be going now." Zhang Rongfang quickly packed up, left the Gathering Fire Basin, and headed towards another building in the Pill Hall.
He needs to find the elixir formula as soon as possible. If it is effective, it will be of great benefit to him, as it can rapidly increase the speed at which he accumulates Attribute Points.
Although called a study, Pill Hall Library is actually just a Stone Hall with only four bookshelves.
The study stands alone outside all the buildings, square and neat, like a small cube.
Next to the study, there was a public latrine, and it seemed that the Daoist priests and their servants who came and went mostly went into the latrine.
Few people read books.
Speechless, Zhang Rongfang gave the name of Daoist Qing You at the door before he was allowed to enter the study. He quickly found two books on elixir formulas on the bookshelves.
Upon opening it, he immediately understood why so few people had ever looked through it.
The book was covered in mold; no one had taken care of it at all.
Moreover, most of the books here contain obscure and uncommon prescriptions, which are not very useful. Only some unique prescriptions have been copied and stored here.
He quickly copied down the two prescriptions, went straight to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and planned to try refining a batch himself today.
On the way back to the Gathering Fire Basin, Zhang Rongfang suddenly saw a group of martial arts practitioners dressed in various styles, carrying all kinds of weapons and equipment, hurriedly carrying several people covered in blood towards the main hall of the Pill Hall.
"Help! Help! There's money here!! Hurry! Act fast!!"
"Her head is still bleeding, save her first!!"
"Tianhe!! Tianhe, pull yourself together!!"
A group of people, covered in blood and grime, rushed in through the entrance to the Pill Hall.
Zhang Rongfang noticed that most of their clothes had the Cloud Character) embroidered on the left chest, near the heart.
"Who are those people?" A few people standing nearby, who had stopped to watch the commotion, whispered among themselves.
"It seems to be from the nearby Cloud Mist Mountain Manor. I heard this morning that they were attacked by mysterious people, resulting in heavy casualties. The whereabouts of Manor Lord Wei, the Eight-Faced Divine Sword, are unknown," another person whispered.
"You were summoned to the government office this morning to do this?"
"Yeah, a few of us are on temporary assignments at the yamen, responsible for conducting autopsies. Sigh, so many people have died. The bodies are all transported by trolley."
The people were speaking in hushed tones, but Zhang Rongfang's keen senses allowed him to hear everything clearly.
'Cloud Mist Mountain Manor?'
He suddenly paused, stunned.
A few days ago, the Deputy Tower the Golden Wing Tower named Chong Ming told him that if anything happened, he could seek help from Eight Sides Divine Sword Wei Feng of the Cloud Mist Mountain Manor.
Now
