Chapter 37: Test Spiritual Fluid

In the Cloud Sea Cave of Gushan, Wu Yan sat on a stone bench, looking at the small stove on the stone table in front of him with a strange expression.

The small stove has now returned to its normal appearance. In addition to the smooth and delicate outer wall and the simple and elegant shape, even the faint dark green light has disappeared. There is no abnormality in the ten cloud patterns and two strange complex symbols.

For a whole night, a little green soil about the size of a grain of rice was absorbed on the complex symbols on the outer wall of the small stove, and a drop of transparent liquid the size of a soybean appeared inside the stove.

Wu Yan did discover a little about the function of the mysterious green soil, which is that it can quickly ripen the herbs when buried under the herbs, and can even turn ordinary herbs into spiritual medicines that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. Of course, the premise is that Wu Yan is willing to use more green soil to ripen the herbs. But how did this transparent liquid that appeared in the stove come from and what is its use? Wu Yan seemed a little confused.

Could it be that the ten cloud patterns absorbed the moonlight to form this drop of liquid? What is the use of this liquid?

Wu Yan's wooden face suddenly moved, and he decided to conduct a thorough test on the small stove, the green soil, and the newly appeared transparent liquid. He was determined to thoroughly discover the secret of this small stove.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Wu Yan is not a person who drags his feet. After careful consideration, he first continued to choose a suitable place in Qiancao Valley to continue collecting green soil and transparent liquid with a small stove.

After repeated attempts and observations and analysis during this period of time, Wu Yan has discovered some characteristics of green soil. The mysterious green soil cannot be directly stored in a small cloth bag or an ordinary container. At first, he collected the green soil in a small cloth bag, and he accidentally discovered that the spiritual energy in the green soil was lost unconsciously. Basically, if it is not handled, the spiritual energy on the green soil will be lost in about five days and become ordinary mud.

However, if the green soil continues to stay on the small stove, the spiritual energy will not be lost. Later, through constant comparison and experimentation, he found that if the green soil was stored in a bronze container, the spiritual energy of the green soil would be preserved for a long time, and the speed of spiritual energy loss was also very slow. Therefore, the green soil he collected now was stored in a delicate small bronze box. This delicate bronze box was given to him by Zhang Tao's father, Zhang Tiejiang. When he went to Gushan Town to customize the bronze box, Zhang Tiejiang refused to accept his money when he heard that he knew Zhang Tao and was a fellow disciple of Zhang Tao. This made Wu Yan admire the honesty and kindness of Zhang Tao and his son.

Just for the honest and kind character of Zhang Tiejiang and his son, Wu Yan also made a decision in private that when he found an opportunity, he would give Zhang Tao a few Qi-gathering pills that he personally prepared.

After understanding the characteristics of green soil, the first thing to do now is to test the characteristics of the newly obtained transparent liquid.

After a few days of observation and experimentation, he was depressed to find that the newly obtained transparent liquid was even more speechless than the green soil. The transparent liquid was indeed formed by the ten cloud patterns absorbing moonlight. Moreover, this transparent liquid also seems to be full of spiritual energy. However, transparent liquid is more difficult to preserve than green clay.

As soon as it leaves the small stove, the transparent liquid begins to evaporate. If the correct preservation method is not found, the transparent liquid will evaporate completely within an hour, especially during the day, when it evaporates faster, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into white gas and dissipating in the air. It is better at night, and it evaporates much slower.

Through continuous experiments and comparisons, Wu Yan has used various metal utensils, small porcelain bottles, small gourds and other containers to hold transparent liquids. He found that these containers cannot effectively preserve this transparent liquid. Only when it is held in a jade container can this transparent liquid be preserved for a longer time, and the better the jade quality of the container, the longer it can be preserved.

After more than ten days of repeated experiments, he finally found a container that can temporarily store transparent liquids. Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and began to test the function of this transparent liquid again.

Wu Yan thought that since green soil can ripen herbs, this transparent liquid was also obtained from the small stove. Does it also have this function?

He then selected a few herbs as test subjects and transplanted them to the southwest corner of the Yunhai Cave medicinal field. He first used a small jade bottle to drop a drop of liquid on a selected herb, then put away the jade bottle and squatted next to the herb to observe the changes in the herb.

To his disappointment, after observing for a few days, he found that the herb seemed to have become more verdant and full of medicinal aroma, but it did not seem to have increased in age at all.

Still not giving up, Wu Yan selected another Ziyang grass for experiment. The result surprised him that this Ziyang grass also became more medicinal, but it did not seem to have increased in age at all.

Wu Yan was a little depressed. Could it be that this transparent liquid, like the dewdrops in the morning, although beautiful, has no other use?

However, after more than ten days of repeated observation and comparison, Wu Yan still found something special.

He found that the herbs that had been dripped with transparent liquid had a stronger medicinal smell than those that had not been dripped with it. This showed that the transparent liquid must have some special uses, but he had not yet discovered what the biggest use of this transparent liquid was. Moreover, after careful observation, he also found that the herbs that had been dripped with liquid seemed to have some black and gray impurities discharged from the leaves and rhizomes of the herbs.

This discovery made Wu Yan feel a little relieved. From this point of view, it shows that the transparent liquid is still useful. At least it can purify the medicinal smell of herbs, discharge herbal impurities, and make the herbs more spiritual.

Moreover, he also found that if the herbs that had been dripped with transparent liquid were ripened with green soil, the herbs obtained were no longer ordinary herbs, but legendary spiritual medicines. After taking the Ziyang Pill prepared with this spiritual medicine, it was actually very beneficial to his current seventh level of Qi Refining Stage.

During this period, in addition to testing the uses of green soil and transparent liquid, Wu Yan did not delay his cultivation. He once prepared the Ziyang Pill again. However, since he cultivated the Qigong Cultivation Technique to the seventh level, the effect of Ziyang Pill on his cultivation has become negligible. Even if he used Ziyang Grass that had been ripened for a hundred years to prepare Ziyang Pill, the effect was still very limited. This was also a point that made him quite distressed.

However, now the effect of Ziyang Pill prepared with this Ziyang Grass dripped with transparent liquid has returned to the feeling of rapid improvement when taking Ziyang Pill at the fourth level.

Wu Yan, who was still unwilling to give up, continued to test this transparent liquid. After all, the process of obtaining this transparent liquid looked very mysterious and powerful, and he didn't believe that the transparent liquid had only this use.

After trying the herbs, Wu Yan changed a few poisonous herbs for testing.

This test surprised Wu Yan. Even without any psychological preparation, Wu Yan almost lost his life because of these poisonous herbs. So much so that in future experiments, Wu Yan had to take some Qingling Powder first, and then put a special mask on his mouth before he dared to continue testing the poisonous herbs.

This transparent liquid dripped on the poisonous grass, and it actually made those already very poisonous poisonous grasses become several times more toxic, and it seemed to have spirituality. This surprised and depressed Wu Yan.

This transparent liquid dripped on the herbs that were very useful to him, and it didn't seem to change much. How come it was so obvious when it was dripped on the poisonous grass? Is this a poisonous spiritual liquid?

In order to solve the doubts in his heart and to verify an idea that had just popped up when he got this transparent spiritual liquid, Wu Yan decided to use animals to try this transparent spiritual liquid.

When he first got this transparent spiritual liquid, he had a bold guess, can this spiritual liquid be taken directly? After all, the transparent spiritual liquid gives people a feeling of spiritual energy, and it looks good, and even seems to be delicious.

Thinking of this, Wu Yan bought four black cats from Gushan Town for experiments.

He had seen a rumor in many classics that black cats generally have nine lives, and seem to have a natural super-sensitive perception of poisons and ghosts. He felt that using a black cat for this experiment was the most appropriate.
