Chapter 200 Obtaining the Mysterious Canon
Bencao Bingzhong is the ultimate classic of alchemy, and it follows the path of traditional alchemists.
What is a traditional alchemist? It is someone who, while making elixirs, also has to cure diseases and save lives. An alchemist is a doctor, and a doctor is also an alchemist. This is a traditional alchemist.
However, alchemists in many places can only make pills but cannot cure diseases and save lives. These are the new-style alchemists.
Alchemists, like formation masters, are divided into three levels: ordinary alchemist, spiritual alchemist, and divine alchemist. Ordinary alchemist basically refines some pills and elixirs for the practice of physical warriors.
The alchemist refines various elixirs and magic medicines for use in the practice of Qi Refining Master.
The divine alchemist can refine various magical pills and medicines for use in the practice of soul refining and becoming a god or demon.
In addition to alchemy, Bencao Bingzhong also has various medical skills and detoxification techniques. It can even be said to be the best in China in terms of curing diseases and saving lives.
Even in the area of alchemy, it is far superior to most of the alchemy manuals and can definitely be called a rare book. It also leads directly to the level of the profound alchemist, which is above the divine alchemist.
Bencao Bingzhong is divided into two parts, the upper part mainly tells about the practice of ordinary alchemy masters and spiritual alchemy masters, and the lower part tells about the practice of divine alchemy masters and mysterious alchemy masters.
In the past, the Li family only studied the upper part, and that was enough. Basically, few descendants of the Li family could be promoted to become top-level spiritual alchemists, let alone break through to become divine alchemists.
Originally, Lu Changjing was just coveting the preciousness and high level of the Herbal Disease Tomb. The reason he wanted to get it was just to give it to other people to practice and see if he could cultivate a powerful alchemist.
But after reading the upper part of the Materia Medica, Lu Changjing suddenly felt that perhaps he could learn it himself.
It is not just for alchemy, the most important thing is for the medical skills, poison skills, and drug skills.
Whether these are used to cure diseases and save lives, or to assist oneself in dealing with various enemies, they all play an extremely important role.
If he could master the art of poison and drug administration, his destructive power and overall strength would at least increase several times or even dozens of times.
Lu Changjing had tried to practice alchemy before. Although his talent in formation could not be compared with that in formation, he had also reached a level that was one in a million.
In other words, driven by the improvement of physical fitness, not only the cultivation talent is increasing, but also the auxiliary talent is increasing. The two can be said to be on par with each other.
However, he has a special talent in the art of formations, which has far surpassed the level of one in a million. But in other secondary positions, he also has the qualifications of one in a million.
Now his skills in formations have approached the level of an intermediate spiritual formation master. However, due to the limitations of various cultivation resources, he cannot spend more time on improving his cultivation level.
I can just spare some time to practice Materia Medica and Disease Tomb, and this way I won't waste my talent and qualifications in the secondary job.
Having made the decision, Lu Changjing quickened his pace and rushed to the Black Water Pond.
According to the information passed to him by Li Fubing, the lower part of the Herbal Disease Tomb was buried deep in the Black Water Pond. There were many stones at the bottom of the pond that could naturally isolate the detection of spiritual power and soul power, so it was quite safe to place it there.
The Black Water Pond is located among the mountains. It is an inconspicuous deep pool that only the locals know about. There are many ferocious fish in it, including some demon fish above level ten.
However, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not strong enough, it can only attract some demon fish of level 10 or so, and the number is not large. There are no stronger demons and monsters.
Not to mention Lu Changjing, even an ordinary mid- to high-level master would not be in great danger if he entered. More than half an hour later, Lu Changjing arrived at the Black Water Pond, and what came into view was a pond of only a few hundred square meters.
The water inside was motionless and the surface was eerily calm, like dead water.
However, with Lu Changjing's spiritual power, he could faintly detect very subtle flows, but they were difficult to see with the naked eye of ordinary people.
Mobilizing the power of heaven and earth and wrapping it around him, Lu Changjing entered the black water pool and sneaked towards the direction of the lower part of the herbal disease tomb.
Although the Black Water Pond does not look small from the surface, you will find once you enter it that the deeper you go, the larger the area becomes. By the time you reach a depth of several hundred meters, the area is already tens of thousands of square meters.
There are many underground rivers around, and no one knows where they lead to. In addition, the fluctuations of the water flow can be clearly seen in the depths of the black water pool.
It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The pool gets smaller as you go up, and gets bigger as you go down. It is more than a thousand meters deep.
Lu Changjing continued to dive downwards and encountered many fish along the way. Fights broke out between them from time to time. They loved killing much more than fish in other waters, even if it was not to fill their stomachs.
Sure enough, there are a lot of ferocious fish here, or to be more precise, fish monsters.
However, under the cover of the power of heaven and earth and the heavenly calamity, as well as the immortal demon body's inherent ability to hide and conceal itself, these fish monsters could not find Lu Changjing at all.
It only took a cup of tea for Lu Changjing to arrive at the area where the lower half of the Herbal Disease Tomb was located. The fluctuations of his spiritual power were unable to penetrate into the ground.
Lu Changjing could only find the place where Bencao Bingzhu was buried based on the signs and directions mentioned by Li Fubing.
It took another cup of tea to find the approximate location, then he took out a spiritual weapon and started digging the stones here.
Infused with divine power, the spiritual weapon became extremely sharp, and digging was as easy as digging tofu. It easily dug to a depth of dozens of meters and discovered the lower part of the herbal tomb made of special materials.
Lu Changjing isolated himself from the surrounding water, opened it and read it carefully. It was indeed the lower part of the Book of Herbal Diseases, which led directly to the level of low-level Xuandan Master. It was a realm of formation that was beyond the Divine Alchemist.
Since his time traveling through time, this is the highest-level deputy job manual Lu Changjing has obtained.
However, his luck seems to be very good. Since he traveled through time, he has acquired many extremely rare profound skills and techniques that are extremely rare to other practitioners, even to gods and demons.
The first one is naturally the top-level mystical soul-picking secret book, the second one is the top-level mystical dragon and phoenix secret technique obtained from Qingqiu Xiaoyu's inherited memory, and then the top-level mystical marrow cleansing secret technique is obtained from Yin Jiao's inherited memory.
In addition to the current low-level Xuandian Bencao Bingzhong, even in those divine dynasties, there are not many Xuangong Xuandian that surpass the level of divine skills and divine classics. Lu Changjing has already obtained so many.
It seems that my luck is still very good. If it were any other god or demon, it would be difficult to obtain a manual of martial arts of this level in their entire life.
Lu Changjing happily put away the lower part of the Bencao Bingzhong. He had already decided to practice Bencao Bingzhong in the future. It was so useful that he could not stop.
But at this moment, Lu Changjing suddenly felt something was wrong. Was the surrounding too quiet?
