Chapter 3 The Strange Doctor
"Girl, are you okay? Why are you sitting alone in this kind of place?"

The voice sounded again, Xueyan finally woke up and looked in the direction of the voice, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with a medicine basket on his back and a small gourd tied around his waist came towards him.

"I'm poisoned." Xue Yan said lightly, it must be an NPC, the dress is very strange.

"Poisoned? Let me take a look for you." He walked a few steps quickly and came to help Xueyan check the wound.

"It's so poisonous!" The old man said in surprise after just one glance, stretched out his hand to gently press the wound, and then brought it up to his nose to smell it, the expression of surprise on his face became even heavier.

"Is it the poison of the Green Mamba Snake King? Girl, take this medicine quickly." The old man untied the gourd around his waist, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Xue Yan.

He looked at the old man, then at the pill, and felt that the other party really wanted to help him, so he swallowed the pill.

"You take the Jiedu pill, and the symptoms of poisoning are relieved." Immediately, she felt that the numb area on her leg was a little smaller, but the blood loss did not decrease. Xueyan looked at the old man suspiciously.

"This medicine can't cure your poison."

"Are you kidding me?" Xueyan couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said, but she didn't feel that the other party was malicious, and she said after a thought: "Or you don't have the antidote yet?"

"Not bad." The old man looked at her approvingly. "This green mamba snake is extremely rare, and its toxicity is so violent that ordinary people can't bear it. The girl is still poisonous and can persist until now. She has some skills. This snake venom cannot be detoxified by ordinary antidote. It must be treated with snake guts. It is a medicine, and it can be cured by fighting poison with poison. It is a pity that this green mamba is very rare, but it is extremely cunning. I have searched for a long time in the forest, but I still can't find it. Sigh, let me think about it. way."

After finishing speaking, he twisted his messy beard with one hand and lowered his head to think.

"Uncle, don't think about it." Xueyan reached out and took out the corpse of the Green Mamba Snake King from the storage bag, shaking it in front of the old man's eyes, and at the same time lamented how foresight she was.

"Green Mamba Snake King! Good guy, no wonder you always avoid me." The old man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the snake corpse.

"The other medicines I never brought with me, can you go home with me? I can refine the antidote for you."

"Your home? Where is it? Is it far away?" Xue Yan asked with a frown. Although her legs felt better after taking the medicine, it was still very difficult to walk around.

"Shexia is nearby, girl, don't worry, I'll just take her back." The old man helped Xueyan up with a smile.Before Xue Yan could react, she pinched her fingers with one hand, Xue Yan only felt a blur in front of her eyes, and when she saw clearly again, she was already outside a small wooden house.

"Go in, girl." The old Taoist reminded Xueyan with a smile when he saw Xueyan's dumbfounded expression.

Following the old man into the house, Xueyan sat on a wooden bench and watched him disembowel the snake and look for herbs.The cabin is not big, except for a wooden bed, there are wooden shelves for placing herbs everywhere.The old Taoist took several kinds of dried herbs from the wooden frame, and put them together with the snake gall into a cauldron the size of a watermelon on the ground.

"Get up!" The old Taoist yelled with his hands in seals, and the cauldron floated up by itself.

"Refining!" As soon as the handprint changed, a group of blue flames appeared out of thin air, burning around the cauldron.

In about two or three minutes, the flame went out, the cauldron fell, the old Taoist reached out and grabbed it, and a few purple-black pills flew out of the furnace and fell into his palm.

A series of wonderful performances surprised Xue Yan.From the previous teleportation to the refining process just now, can the pharmacist in this game be so powerful?But it seems, maybe, maybe, maybe he's a pharmacist... Well, that's a weird pharmacist too.

"Girl, take the medicine quickly." The old man took out a medicine and handed it to Xueyan.

"kindness."

"You have taken Ziyun Pill, the poisoning state is lifted, and the poison resistance is permanently increased by 20%." Does this mean that if you are poisoned again in the future, the effect will drop by 40%?

"That uncle, are you a pharmacist?" After some hesitation, Xueyan decided to try her luck.

"Hehe, I'm not a pharmacist, I'm a medicine fairy." The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Medicine Immortal? Immortal?" Although he knew that this was a game about cultivating immortals, but this part of the content hadn't been released yet. How could he meet one first? !

"Haha, but what you said is not very accurate. The gods are just a general term for cultivators by mortals, but in fact these gods and immortals are different. These gods and immortals represent different stages of cultivation of cultivators. Once ordinary people When you enter the foundation building stage, you can be called an immortal. As your cultivation level continues to improve, you will have to go through the six stages of elixir formation, spiritual silence, Yuanying, distraction, integration, and transcending tribulations. After passing the tribulation transcending stage, You can then enter the Mahayana, that is, become a god." Yin Xiao explained.

"Then how can we enter the foundation building stage?" Xue Yan asked curiously.

"Ordinary people have to constantly cultivate themselves. When their strength reaches a certain level, they can be reborn and enter the foundation building stage. The body of ordinary people is not suitable for cultivation. The meridians in the body are often blocked, and the power is mixed and impure. It is for people to dredge the meridians and condense energy to make the body reach a state suitable for cultivation."

Reaching a certain level of strength refers to level, right? I don’t know how many levels are needed to reach a certain level?Forget it, you'll know it when the time comes, there's no point in thinking about it.But it’s rare for someone to understand, and it’s not a bad thing to know more about it.

"Then what does it mean to form a pill? Pill? Is it to condense energy like alchemy?"

"The girl is really very perceptive. She can guess the meaning of the alchemy stage just from the words. Yes, the so-called alchemy stage is during this process. It requires continuous practice to purify and compress the energy obtained so that it can be absorbed in the body. Condensed but not dispersed, entering the elixir-forming stage, your strength will be greatly improved with continuous practice. When you compress the energy to a certain extent and form a pill-like golden elixir in your body, you can enter the spiritual silence stage. When you reach this stage, in addition to constantly practicing the golden elixir, you must also cultivate the body meridians, strengthen the body, and store energy in the muscles and veins of the whole body. When the energy of the body's muscles and veins reaches a certain level, you can enter the Yuanying stage. Yuanying stage It is a process of condensing energy again, but it is different from the elixir formation stage. What is condensed is not the golden elixir, but the 'original baby' like a new life. And reaching distraction is the 'baby' When mature, you can produce a clone that is the same as the main body. The clone can be practiced at the same time as the main body, but the effects cannot be superimposed. When you can transform the cultivation of the clone into yourself, it is the integration period, and then the two are completely integrated into one. When the time comes, it will lead to a catastrophe, which is the period of overcoming the tribulation."

"From condensed to scattered, from scattered to condensed." Xueyan said if she had some enlightenment after listening.

"That's right, that's it in a nutshell." Yin Xiao nodded approvingly.Then he said: "If you want to become a god, you have to go through the catastrophe of heaven, also known as the nine thunder catastrophes. As the name suggests, there are nine thunder catastrophes. They are divine thunders above the nine heavens, with the power to destroy heaven and earth."

"Then has anyone cultivated to become a god?"

"It's a pity that it's not easy to survive the nine thunder calamities. In tens of thousands of years, how many cultivators have died under the thunder calamities. Most of them couldn't even survive the first three times. Only one person survived the six thunder calamities. Alas! If it weren't for the Four Dao Wars thousands of years ago, he might be the person most likely to become a god." Speaking of this, Yin Xiao looked out of the house and into the distance, with a somewhat lonely expression.

"Four Ways of War?"

"That's right, the battle between immortals, Buddhas, demons, and ghosts, alas! Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Yin Xiao refused to say any more.

Xueyan was about to ask something more, when she suddenly heard a system prompt next to her ear:

"Congratulations to player Xueyan for completing the main mission - first knowledge of cultivation, reward experience 5000, reputation 200, 100 gold coins."

"Congratulations to the player Xue Yan for raising her level to level 15 and gaining 4 attribute points."

First acquaintance with cultivation?Is it just those words?To be able to complete the main quest just by listening to people's words, one's luck must be a little bit better!Xueyan thought with a sigh, but she didn't know that this could not be accomplished by good luck.

The quest begins when we killed the Green Mamba Snake King earlier.The Green Mamba Snake King is a novice village boss at level 25, that is to say, killing it by players with a level greater than level 15 will not have any subsequent tasks.It is necessary to be poisoned once when killing the BOSS, and only after being poisoned can it be possible to touch Yinxiao.It’s just that this task is generally unlikely to be completed by a novice alone. If it is completed in a team, one person must be poisoned and find Yin Xiao before the poisoning dies. Of course, the snake corpse must be brought. Points above can gain the NPC's favor and complete the task.

Seeing that Yin Xiao was still in a daze, his expression seemed to be immersed in some painful memories, Xue Yan changed the subject to distract him.

"Then what stage has Uncle's Medicine Immortal cultivation reached?"

"My aptitude has generally been practiced for more than 2000 years and has just reached the stage of spiritual silence, and has not yet entered the stage of Yuanying." Yin Xiao's attention was indeed attracted, and he smiled embarrassedly.

"Unfortunately, the girl and I don't have enough fate. Otherwise, if you enter my Baicao sect with your understanding, you will be able to step into the ranks of cultivating immortals as soon as possible. With time, your cultivation will definitely surpass me." Yin Xiao said very regretfully.
