Chapter 103: Ancient Relics

The time required to transmit information from the jade slip is extremely short, just like memorizing a book in an instant, and it has the effect of being completely engraved in the brain.

It really is worthy of being called a magic method in the world of cultivating immortals, it is so magical.

After a short while, after studying the three jade stones clearly, Mo Juren put them into his storage bag, feeling mixed emotions.

The first one was a black jade slip, which turned out to contain an ancient recipe for a pill called "Soul Feeding Pills".

Although Mo Juren has not yet refined any elixirs for cultivating immortality, he has done quite a bit of research on elixirs in the secular world.

He felt that this ancient elixir recipe had simple ingredients and an uncomplicated refining method, and it gave him a feeling of simplicity and returning to nature.

However, since ancient times, many materials and herbs that have been passed down to the present day have lost their original effects. They are either completely extinct, their medicinal properties have decreased, or they have been transformed into other names, making it extremely difficult to reproduce them at will.

This Soul-Feeding Pill only requires four ingredients in total. One of them, the "Blood Spirit Grass", was mentioned by Yu Zitong before, but the other three, the "Earth Soul Flower", "Clarifying Heart Leaf" and "Jade God Fruit", were never named.

It was the same situation as when Mo Juren was researching Huanglong Dan and Yangjing Dan. If the designated spiritual herbs could not be found, it would take a lot of effort to research some alternative methods that might be able to bring out 70% to 80% of the medicinal power.
Fortunately, the appearance of these four materials is also described very clearly. After reading the jade slip, I directly formed my memory of them. I believe I will be able to distinguish them if I encounter them in the future.

It’s a bit of a pity that the Soul-Feeding Pill in this ancient pill recipe is not a pill that can enhance magical powers, but is specially for spirit beasts to consume.

Even if it was refined, Mo Juren would not be able to enjoy it.

According to the jade slip, this pill can increase the wisdom of spiritual beasts, and to a certain extent can even promote the advancement of spiritual beasts. The effect is very magical. If I have the chance to refine it, of course I must try its function, such as giving it to the Cloud-Winged Bird to try.

Another piece of translucent jade is also a special jade slip, which records a cultivation method called "The Art of Refining Demon Pills".

After studying it, Mo Juren found that this technique might be the reason why the Taoist Lingdan went crazy.

It turns out that this technique is to simulate the ancient Qi-refining practitioners, who devour all spiritual things in heaven and earth, integrate the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, follow the laws of nature, and achieve the way of ancient immortals.

The world of immortal cultivation today is no longer the same as it was in ancient times. There are no longer so many natural and heaven-defying spiritual creatures. Or, if there were any, they have all been picked up by more and more immortal cultivators generation after generation. It is impossible to achieve the cultivation method of the ancient immortals, which is to take from nature, gain enlightenment from nature, and improve one's realm naturally.

This method of refining demon elixirs takes a different approach. It uses demon elixirs and beast elixirs to replace the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth. By swallowing demons, spirit beasts and other creatures that absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create inner elixirs, it achieves an effect close to the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth.

After swallowing the demon pill, magic power is continuously accumulated and purified in the body, and naturally "spiritual energy turns into liquid, and the purple mansion generates a sea of ​​​​vitality", thus achieving the perfect foundation like the ancient cultivators. Going further will achieve the Taoist Golden Pill, and even condense the spiritual infant of heaven and earth.

The creator of this technique was very arrogant, claiming that it could completely get rid of the current method where cultivators need to rely on external objects such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Pills, and Infant Condensation Pills to advance step by step.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the demon pills and beast pills is not pure either. It is necessary to constantly remove impurities and eliminate toxins in order to maintain sanity and not be invaded by the evil spirits and malice therein. Otherwise, one may lose reason and consciousness as a cultivator at any time, turn into a demon, and do evil to the world.

The Taoist Lingdan should have started practicing the magic pill refining technique, because the initial stage of the technique is to refine the spiritual power in the demon pill into pills through the method of alchemy before taking them. Otherwise, even the lowest level demon pill contains too much spiritual power, which is too strong for the body of a low-level cultivator to sustain. However, this person may have been too greedy for merit or too reckless, or lacked the method to remove the poison, which led to the invasion of his mind, causing others to think that his temperament had changed drastically.

Mo Juren would naturally not rashly practice this kind of unorthodox martial art. He just treated it as a collection and threw it into his storage bag.

The last piece of jade plate without words is relatively simple. It is an ancient jade talisman called "Guiyuan Huling Fu".

Reading it with spiritual consciousness, there are detailed instructions inside, as if it is something produced in a standardized manner.

This jade talisman has a hub for opening and closing, and contains a wisp of the so-called "Guiyuan Treasure Qi". After the jade talisman is opened, if it encounters a sudden attack from external magic power, the Guiyuan Treasure Qi will automatically spread to form a defense, achieving the effect of protecting the body.

What's amazing is that the jade talisman can also work when placed in a storage bag. It is simply a spiritual object that can resist sudden attacks. No wonder the Lingdan Taoist was able to save his life from the first wave of sneak attacks from the Disha Pearl.

Mo Juren happily put the jade talisman away. With this treasure in hand, his safety would be more guaranteed.

However, just like the talisman, the Guiyuan treasure energy contained in the jade talisman is also limited. It will become ineffective once used up. I don’t know if it can be replenished in the future.

The Soul-Feeding Pill, the Demon-Refining Elixir, and the Guiyuan Soul-Protecting Talisman all seem to be things related to ancient times. I wonder how the Taoist priest obtained these elixirs. I guess he must have had some opportunities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, no matter how many opportunities you are lucky enough to get, if you die, it will still be a benefit to others.

Mo Juren shook his head, put these distracting thoughts behind him, and then returned to the market.

Last time he sneaked in as Mo Juren's incarnation. This time, in order to conceal his tracks and avoid trouble, he changed back to Zhang Tie's original appearance as a sturdy young man outside the formation.

This time, he was on the northern slope of Tainan Mountain. After finding the place where the fog was thickest, he threw out a voice-transmitting talisman specifically for starting the formation. Soon the fog dissipated, and Mo Juren walked through the wooden gate again and stepped into the market.

Although we were successfully targeted this time and we got rid of that group of people, it also shows that Tainan City is not a good place and it feels like it is full of unknown dangers.

But the purpose of this trip is to find a suitable weapon. Although it is a bit risky, Mo Juren still thinks it is best to come back and wait before getting the magic weapon refined by Master Zhang.

There were still two days left before the time agreed with Master Zhang, and Mo Juren didn't want to wait around doing nothing, so he went to the training room in the middle of the market again.

In a remote place, Mo Juren changed back into his middle-aged white clothes and rented two more days of practice time from the friendly management monk.

The training room given to him this time was Room 28. After Mo Juren got the opening talisman, he no longer needed the guidance of the managing monk and walked over with ease...
