Chapter 57: Elixir and Dharmakaya

After dinner, Gao Haoguang and Ma Chao drove the donkey cart towards the mountain village.

Chu Ke cleaned up the dishes and went to the canal to start washing them. Miao Qingqing couldn't sit still either, so she came over skipping and jumping around.

"Why don't you practice drawing talismans?" Chu Ke said without raising his head.

"Oh, I'm just waiting for Junior Brother Erguo to come back and be together." Miao Qingqing stretched lazily, with a cute expression on her face.

Since going up the mountain, the daily homework is either listening to the master's teachings or practicing drawing talismans, which is as boring as copying texts in a school. Moreover, Miao Qingqing is not very talented in the art of talismans, which makes it even more torturous.

Chu Ke took out a copper pocket watch from his bosom and took a look at it, then reminded: "Junior Brother Huang should be back soon, so don't be lazy by then, and practice the talisman well."

Miao Qingqing still remembered what Chu Ke said before, that he was going down the mountain to buy things, so she trotted over to get the backpack. When she heard what Chu Ke said, she nodded quickly: "Okay, don't worry, Senior Brother Chu!"

Chu Ke took it casually, rejected the wallet handed over by Miao Qingqing, and rubbed her head: "If a dangerous guy comes to the gym, you must first follow his wishes, don't provoke him for the time being, and wait for me or the master to come back."

“I know, I know.” Miao Qingqing gently shook off Chu Ke’s hand. After all, as the eldest sister of Sanzhen Sect, she still had to have some prestige. As for those “dangerous guys”, she just thought that Chu Ke was talking about bandits.

After walking out of the courtyard, Chu Ke was still a little worried, so he took out several yellow talismans from his sleeve and threw them away.

The yellow talisman changed color little by little in the air like a chameleon in the wind, and was attached to the four sides of the courtyard, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect it with the naked eye.

According to the original plot, before Ma Chao and Gao Haoguang returned, a magical corpse broke into the courtyard and took the returning Huang Erguo and Miao Qingqing hostage.

There are two types of Nirvana corpses: the ordinary corpses transformed by ordinary people, which are difficult to be harmed by ordinary people and like to eat internal organs; and the Dharma corpses transformed by those who seek the Dharma, which have copper heads and iron bones and possess supernatural powers. The latter are far more powerful than ordinary corpses.

This Dharma corpse has a deep connection with the Sanzhen Dharma Sect. Decades ago, when Ma Chao was just a young disciple of the declining Sanzhen Dharma Sect, this Dharma corpse broke into the Sanzhen Dharma Sect that was currently spreading the Dharma, and slaughtered all the Sanzhen Dharma sect members on its own. Only Ma Chao escaped.

And now, this Dharma corpse followed the scent and was ready to recreate the feat of the past. It took two disciples hostage and waited for Ma Chao and Gao Haoguang to return, ready to "eat" them in front of Ma Chao.

This record can be called "Double C of All Industries" in the original book.

It was also this battle that made Gao Haoguang resonate with Sanzhen Tongyueling in the midst of danger, and finally killed the corpse through various methods.

Although Chu Ke could have intervened, Gao Haoguang's conditions and timing for activating the Three True Moon Orders were perfect, so Chu Ke planned to hide a little under the pretext of going down the mountain and watch the battle from the side for a while.

Logically speaking, except for Ma Chao who was injured and lost a hand, no one died in the whole process. However, Chu Ke was still afraid that his appearance would cause some changes, so he secretly left a talisman in his hand just in case.

He still likes his friends from the Three True Methods.

Carrying a backpack, Chu Ke took out a scripture from his sleeve and walked down the mountain while reading.

In addition to the "Three Methods", the power system of this world also has many subsidiary paths, and Alchemy is one of them.

The elixirs refined by the seekers were not extremely mysterious, but they were comparable to the black jade paste in Jin Yong's novels. Some great masters used the true fire to refine elixirs that could bring the dead back to life.

At the same time, elixirs can also help those who seek the Dharma to practice.

Chu Ke has opened more than 103 of the 30 major orifices, which can be regarded as minor supernatural powers. If compared carefully, his level of cultivation may be higher than that of his current master Ma Chao. At the same time, this body was "molded" using the template of a hybrid from the dragon clan. Chu Ke's physical fitness was far superior to that of other Dharma seekers at the beginning, so the "Dharma Body" is the furthest Chu Ke has come among the three Dharmas.

As a modified royal hybrid, Chu Ke's single-arm strength started at 900kg before he practiced, and could exceed 1000kg when he used the dragon bone state. After practicing the Dharma body, this value as the base began to leap extremely terrifyingly. At present, if we only talk about combat power and survivability, most ordinary Dharma corpses will probably not be able to withstand his two arms. He can even hold the Dharma corpse and perform the bull-beating on the spot without using magic talismans.

It takes a full 180 days to make the food delicious and fresh.

But because of this, Chu Ke's strong physical fitness caused the energy he needed to consume to double. Although he could also use a large amount of mana to support it, Chu Ke's current mana value was still at the stage of minor magical powers, like a toothpick stirring a large jar, which was simply unsustainable.

So Chu Ke set his sights on alchemy.

Chu Ke was quite rich because he went down the mountain from time to time to help ordinary people eliminate the zombies that popped out of the cemetery at any time. After spending three cents of silver to buy some daily necessities, Chu Ke turned around and went into the pharmacy.

There are three major elements in alchemy: tools, prescriptions, and medicine. There are quite a few prescriptions in the Three True Methods' collection, but there are requirements for medicine. If you want the best, you must use precious medicines that have absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as refining materials. If you can't find the precious medicines for the entire prescription, you can also use a few precious medicines as medicine guides together with ordinary medicinal materials. The pills made entirely of ordinary medicinal materials are the lowest quality.

Chu Ke couldn't find any natural precious medicine, but the blood of the hybrids was special, so he drew a few tubes from time to time and forcibly produced some artificial precious medicines.

As for the tools, there are not too many requirements for the alchemy equipment. It doesn't necessarily have to be an alchemy furnace, so Chu Ke chose a large iron pot as an alchemy furnace.

The most important tool is fire. It must be a spiritual fire with magical power to fully stimulate the medicinal power of the precious medicine and truly make the pill.

For example, in the original novel, Jiang Mingzi, one of the ancestors of the Three True Methods, used the Samadhi True Fire to refine the elixir.

Chu Ke naturally couldn't find such an awesome fire, but luckily he had the Word Spirit - Jun Yan, and because it was spit out by himself, it also had magical properties.

To be honest, hybrids are really a huge productive force. If they had focused on scientific research, they would have dug out and killed the Dragon King's mother long ago. Why would they bother with the pain of wielding a knife and fighting hand-to-hand?

After spending five taels of silver to purchase the necessary medicinal herbs, Chu Ke looked at the sky and thought it was almost time to return to the sect, so he turned around and left the town.

"When will your master come back?"

In the Three True Dharmas, a corpse with long hair, pointed ears, green skin and fangs, wearing fine steel armor and a tiger-head belt, was sitting on the kang in a dignified manner, holding a shivering man and woman in one hand.

"We will never tell you even if we die!" The fat man in Zhongshan suit who was being hugged had a slight tremor in his moustache, but he still said firmly.

"That's right!" The other woman was naturally Miao Qingqing. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment, but she still looked angry.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me. They will always come back." Fashi showed a disgusting smile and suppressed his desire to eat people.

On the roof, Chu Ke restrained his breath, put down the backpack, lifted a tile, and watched the situation below while waiting for Gao Haoguang and Ma Chao to come back.

A short knife was hung behind his waist at some point, ready to strike at any time.
