Chapter 162: Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill
Chapter 162: Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill
When Tian Lin returned to the city, the lights in Pingyang City were already on.
He had no intention of visiting the night scene, but went straight back to his house in Xilai Lane.
When Yu'er saw Tian Lin coming back, she immediately asked someone to prepare food, and then went back to the room to make a cup of hot tea for Tian Lin.
She took a pile of books from the side and handed them to Tian Lin, saying:
"This is the Five Elements Golden Elixir Technique that I asked for from the housekeeper. You can take a look at it, sir."
Tian Lin was not in a hurry to look through the Five Elements Golden Elixir Secret.
He sat down on the stool, picked up the Water God Technique under the Five Elements Golden Elixir Technique, and asked Yu'er, "Is this a magical power?"
"I was lucky today. I met the Great Elder. He heard that I was asking for magic for you, Master, so he asked me to bring these five magical books."
Yu'er smiled and said, "The Great Elder said that, except for the great families, it is extremely rare to be able to establish the Five Elements foundation at the age of seventy. So I gave you these five books of magical skills to help you achieve the Five Elements Golden Pill."
Tian Lin was overjoyed and looked at Yu'er and said:
"I can obtain the five magical spells. First, I want to thank the great elder for his righteousness. Second, I want to thank you for your trouble."
Yu'er didn't take credit for anything at this time. She just took off her hairpin and adjusted the wick to make the light in the room brighter.
Tian Lin opened the Water God Sutra in the candlelight, and looked at the spells therein, sometimes delighted and sometimes frowning.
Yu'er stood silently by the side without saying a word until Cui'er brought in the food, and then Tian Lin seemed to come back to his senses.
She quickly brought the food to the table. After Tian Lin picked up the bowl and chopsticks, she asked Tian Lin as she spread the food, "Master, you looked worried just now. I don't know what you are worried about. Can you tell me?"
She didn't know Tian Lin's true background. She only felt that although Tian Lin had a high level of cultivation, he seemed to know nothing, just like an old man from a small country town.
Not only are their ideas outdated, but everything in the city seems unfamiliar to them.
"Although this Water God Technique is good, the Water God Pill inside it makes people feel troublesome."
The so-called trouble he had was not because the Water God Pill was expensive.
It's the Water God Pill, an auxiliary pill that helps to practice the Water God Technique in the mouths of others, but in Tian Lin's mouth, no one knows what the effect is.
In short, Tian Lin cannot practice the Water God Technique by relying on the Water God Pills sold on the market.
"The Water God Pill is indeed a bit expensive. It takes one top-grade spirit stone to buy ten pills."
Yu'er said, "It's a pity that this Water God Pill is also very precious to my Tong family. Unless you become a great worshiper, you can't buy it cheaply from the Tong family."
Become the chief worshiper of the Tong family?
Tian Lin didn't even think about this problem. He put down the Water God Technique and turned to read the Five Elements Golden Elixir Technique.
According to the Five Elements Golden Elixir Secret, the Five Elements Qi is five kinds of spiritual energy combined into one, and therefore this combined Qi must be cultivated into five magical spells.
Only after the five "Dharma Bodies" have been cultivated, can one be considered to have reached the middle stage of foundation building.
In order to reach the middle stage of foundation building, one must cultivate the five magical powers to perfection.
Among the five magical powers that can cultivate the "Five Elements Dharmakaya", the most common and easiest to practice are the "Water God Technique" and the "Fire God Technique".
The so-called Five Elements Golden Elixir Technique is a magical power that can "peacefully" place the five Dharma bodies in the Dantian.
"People who have built their foundation with water spirits need water god pills, and people who have built their foundation with the five elements also need water god pills. From now on, all cultivation will be inseparable from pills. In this way, it is true that alchemists earn the most spirit stones!"
Yu'er saw Tian Lin absorbed in reading a book and thought that Tian Lin had some new insights.
But once Tian Lin opened his mouth, he couldn't get rid of the smell of money.
She smiled and continued, "Master is right. Among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, alchemists make the most money, followed by weapon refiners, and then formation masters and talisman masters."
When she said this, she seemed a little hesitant.
Tian Lin asked her, "What do you want to say?"
Yu'er said, "Since you are interested in fishing, why don't you learn the art of taming beasts. I heard that beast tamers in the Northern Wilderness also make a lot of spirit stones."
Tian Lin narrowed his eyes, looked at Yu'er and said, "Why are you talking about Beihuang for no reason?"
Until now, he had not told the Tong family that he was going to the Daoist Sect. After all, he was the Tong family's priest, and it would not be convenient for him to tell others right away that he was leaving the Tong family.
"My humble opinion is that cultivation requires money, companions, methods and places. If you want to cultivate in the future, you can't do without the word 'money'.
As for the word "wealth", one must choose one of the hundreds of arts to seek."
Tian Lin nodded and said with a smile: "I appreciate your kindness. If I have the chance in the future, I will learn the art of taming beasts."
He was just being perfunctory because how could it be so easy to learn the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals?
At this time, the meal was over and Yu'er left the house with the empty bowl and plate.
Cui'er poked her head out of the side room and glanced at the empty bowls and plates on the serving tray. She looked just as complacent as I had expected.
Yu'er gave Cui'er a blank look, handed the dishes and chopsticks to the sturdy maid to take away, and hurried into the house to make the bed and fold the quilt for Tian Lin.
It was the first time that Tian Lin had a maid serving him, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
When he was in Yaoyue Sect, he was promoted from an outer disciple to an inner disciple, and he did not have any maids or servants to serve him.
Moreover, both the inner and outer disciples of Yaoyue Sect actually appear to be rather plain.
The second steward was accompanied only by a little boy, and the third steward was accompanied only by an accountant.
As for Shang Yu, after Xiaoyue's death, he never hired anyone to serve him personally.
Unlike Pingyang City, people not only pay attention to clothing, but also to the way they do things.
As far as Tian Lin knew, the noble families in Pingyang City not only had servants, but also sword bearers and sword slaves to protect them.
"It seems that Pingyang County was not so extravagant a thousand years ago."
Tian Lin could only sigh that times have changed and customs have changed, but the truth remains unchanged.
The next night, Tian Lin did not fall asleep, but went out with the spirit stone.
Yu'er and Cui'er accompanied Tian Lin, and they took him around the Tong family's medicine shop. One by one, Tian Lin appeared in front of him. It would be a lie to say that Tian Lin was not tempted, but he was short of money and couldn't even afford a Water God Pill, so he could only envy.
The one who received Tian Lin was a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, but he was the resident priest of the Tong family.
He thought he could earn spirit stones from Tian Lin, but he didn't know that Tian Lin, this 'Daoyou Tian', was not only poor, but also stingy, so his attentive attitude was wasted.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but Tian Lin looked at things extremely carefully. He wanted to take a look at every elixir, no matter whether it was good or bad, which really made this resident very angry.
“If Fellow Daoist Tian is not interested in these elixirs, why not take a look at the Buddha Demon Pill refined by Master Long Dan.”
After he finished speaking, he sent the servant upstairs to get the elixir.
Cui'er's face changed, and Yu'er whispered in Tian Lin's ear: "The elixirs upstairs are very expensive, at least they need high-grade spirit stones to pay for them."
Tian Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at the resident worshiper.
The household attendant stroked his beard and said with a smile:
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Tian. Although this Buddha Demon Pill is kept on the second floor, one pill only costs one low-grade spirit stone.”
His words not only stunned Tian Lin, but also puzzled Cui'er and Yu'er.
If this medicine is really so cheap, why should it be placed on the second floor and protected by a formation?
Soon, the servant came down from upstairs with a porcelain vase in his hand.
When he opened the porcelain bottle, Cui'er and Yu'er in the room both choked.
No one expected that a bottle of elixir would have a pungent smell like chili peppers. And the intensity of this pungent smell was obviously much stronger than that of chili peppers.
Among them, only Tian Lin smelled the fragrance.
He thought about it, then leaned forward and took a look at the porcelain bottle.
There were a few dark, not round pills in the porcelain bottle.
"Master, the reason why this medicine is placed on the second floor is probably because it is not convenient to sell it on the first floor, for fear of damaging the reputation of the Tong family's medicine shop."
Yu'er said something in Tian Lin's ear.
Although her voice was soft, the resident worshipper heard it clearly.
Sure enough, the resident worshiper smiled and said calmly:
"Yes, this is a waste pill made by Master Long. Because he is the resident alchemist of the Tong family, our alchemy shop has no choice but to spend spirit stones to buy this pill.
But since it is a waste pill, how can I sell it to others? I can only put it aside and let the side branches of the clan use it. If you are interested, fellow Daoist Tian, I will sell it to you at a low price of one spirit stone, which is also a small token of my appreciation."
Although he was annoyed with Tian Lin, he didn't want to go against Tian Lin.
A low-grade spirit stone is not enough to harm Tian Lin.
"I don't know what effect this medicine has?"
Tian Lin asked, and the resident priest replied:
“This Buddha Demon Pill is the auxiliary pill needed for the Buddha Demon Freedom Art—of course, Brother Long’s pill was obviously a failure in refining, so naturally it cannot be used to refine the Buddha Demon Freedom Art.
However, although this useless pill is useless, it does contain medium-grade spiritual herbs. Even if it cannot be used for cultivation, it can still be used for physical cultivation. "
Tian Lin turned to look at Yu'er and asked, "Is the Buddha Demon Freedom Skill very powerful?"
Yu'er said: "This is a magical skill. It is said that one thought is Buddha and the other is devil. Between Buddha and devil, paradise and purgatory are all free."
Tian Lin was speechless. It was the first time he saw the correct information in an entry.
That's not right either, because the entry shows [Buddha-Demon Pill], but this is obviously a waste and incorrectly refined Buddha-Demon Pill, otherwise it would be impossible to buy it with just one spirit stone.
"Why, Brother Tian thinks it's too expensive, so you're hesitating?"
The resident servant saw that Tian Lin was poor and stingy, so he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
He simply said, "Since Fellow Daoist Tian has entered the Tong family, we will inevitably interact with each other in the future. I will give you this bottle of elixir."
Tian Lin said, "What should I do? This bottle of medicine has ten waste pills, and I should give you ten spirit stones. But I don't know if there are any more of these pills in the shop. If I am willing to buy a large amount, I wonder if I can sell them at a lower price?"
The resident priest looked at Tian Lin in surprise, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but said, "Daoyou, please think carefully. Don't buy some useless pills just for the sake of cheapness."
His words were of the highest order, and he did not want to offend the stingy Tian Lin for a small amount of money.
After all, if a person who is extremely stingy realizes one day that he has been taken advantage of, he will probably be so angry that he won't be able to eat.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Tong. I have my own ideas."
The worshiper thought for a moment and said, "I have five hundred useless pills here. If you want all of them, I will only give you four hundred spirit stones."
He didn't want to earn Tian Lin's spirit stones. In fact, he had already made a profit by not wasting these spirit stones in his hands.
Tian Lin couldn't come up with so many spirit stones at the moment, so he asked the priest Tong to keep these waste pills in his shop for a while.
So, Tian Lin took a bottle of waste pills and brought Yu'er and Cui'er back home.
Yu'er couldn't help but say, "Master, if you want to buy body-refining pills, you can buy better ones. They may seem more expensive, but the effect is better than ten or a hundred useless pills."
Tian Lin asked her, "I remember there is the Buddha Demon Freedom Technique in your mansion. What do I have to exchange for it?"
Yu'er looked at Tian Lin in surprise, and she couldn't hide the look in her eyes as if she was looking at a monster.
Not to mention her sister, who looked at Tian Lin as if he was an idiot.
"Master Tong has already said that this is a useless pill and cannot be used to refine the Buddha Demon Freedom Technique."
Tian Lin shook his head and ignored her advice.
Yu Er didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she could only say: "Buddha Demon Freedom Art is not like the magical powers such as Water God Art that are sold everywhere. If you want to obtain it, you can't just have spirit stones, you must have contribution points.
In fact, in my opinion, if the master really wants the Buddha Demon Freedom Technique, he might as well ask Master Long Dan. "
"The alchemist who made the useless pill?" Tian Lin said, "He is my neighbor. I was planning to visit him."
