Chapter 65: The Original Mountain and Sea Scripture

  The Yan Huang Library, the Mysterious Building, in front of the ancient book classification, Li Mang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and did not look at "Shan Hai Jing" first, but instead pulled out the first volume from "Huang Di Nei Jing".

  Indeed, the original text of Huangdi Neijing still records a large amount of content related to cultivation, especially some stubborn diseases in cultivation. Moreover, the Jing Qi Shen described in Huangdi Neijing has also been misunderstood by modern people, and the harm caused by the Yellow Emperor is not small! Li Mang sighed with emotion in his heart, but he only sighed for a few sentences. He was not interested in medical skills at all, and after reading carefully for a while, he felt headache.

  However, under the influence of the ghostly messenger, Li Mang did not rush to read "Shan Hai Jing", but instead randomly pulled out the last volume of Huangdi Neijing, opened it and took a look, the content made him surprised, this volume was not the medical content before, but a volume of "Divine Formula".

  "Is this a prescription? A medicinal formula...?" Li Meng's curiosity had been piqued, and upon opening it to take a look at the contents, what he saw made his heart difficult to calm down. It was indeed a medicinal formula, but not just any ordinary one - it was a formula for refining precious medicine, or even alchemy.

  These prescriptions are not ordinary, and can be said to be the top-level prescriptions of the Yellow Emperor's Court. They are only placed in the Xuan Lou because the spiritual energy on the earth is now depleted, and it is difficult to find even one of the medicinal materials, let alone gather them all together. In other words, these prescriptions have become equivalent to useless formulas.

  However, this has a special meaning for Li Mang. In the real world, it is impossible to prepare all these medicinal materials, but the Mountain and Sea Scripture space is vast, with countless rare objects, and preparing two sets of prescriptions is absolutely no problem. He is full of confidence in the Mountain and Sea Scripture space.

  Lian Dan Li Mang was not good at it, and even if he was tortured, that thing wasn't just a technical skill, but also required a cauldron and other equipment. Li Mang's interest in it was really not great. But refining precious medicine was something that made his eyes burn with desire. The precious medicine that Ghost Doctor had used yesterday still lingered in his memory, and the effect of the precious medicine was even more unforgettable.

  "Shu Si lightens the body: Shu Si, Chi Meng, Tong Ling fruit... taking it can make the body light and agile..."

  "Black Turtle Refining Body Broth: Black Turtle, Yangling Orchid, Wangteng Tender Shoots, Warm Jade, Snake Crown Flower, and other herbs... Double-boiled over low heat for two days and two nights to refine into a precious medicinal elixir, with the effect of strengthening tendons and bones. The efficacy depends on the materials used."

  Below is the translation in plain language, so Li Mang doesn't need to struggle with translation and can understand it clearly, feeling both surprised and delighted. Most of the medicinal prescriptions require materials that he has never heard of or seen before, but among them, the main ingredient for the "Xuan Gui Zhun Ti Tang" is Xuan Gui, and the auxiliary material is Cong Guo, both of which he already possesses; gathering the remaining four ingredients shouldn't be impossible.

  "Yangling cane, Yuteng tender shoots, Wenyu, Sheguan flower...... What's all this nonsense!" Li Mang felt a headache coming on. He had never heard of these medicinal herbs before and didn't know where they could be found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Now that things had come to this pass, he could only pin his hopes on the original text of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

  He put down the Huangdi Neijing in his hand and turned to pull out "Shan Hai Jing - Nan Ci Yi Jing" from the Shan Hai Jing book.

  "It's really different!" Li Meng opened the first page and noticed the difference between the edition and the one in his hand. Although this one was printed by Yan Huang, it was the original text, with complete and vivid illustrations, no wonder there were dozens of volumes in total.

  "In the mountains of Zhao Yang there lives a spotted bamboo chicken, which relies on spotted bamboo seeds for survival. The number is not large, eating it can obtain spiritual energy, and the taste is fresh and delicious."

  "On the shore of Liji water, there is beautiful jade, in the water, there is warm jade... Warm jade can avoid cold and drive out evil spirits, it can be ground into powder for consumption, having the medicinal effect of tonifying yang."

  "It turned out that Lijiao had the Wenyu in the water, and one of the materials needed for the Xuantu body refining was missing!" Li Mang was somewhat excited, but continued reading.

  "In the mountains and courtyards, there are bees that only gather nectar from flowers of the Toon tree. The honey produced by these bees has beauty-enhancing and life-extending effects, especially the royal bee honey, which is the most effective."

  "The mountain white ape has the bloodline of a divine monkey, with immense strength and intelligence but is ferocious. Since it only eats bamboo fruit in its lifetime, it can be lured with other fruits to reduce its hostility."

  Li Mang's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: "Next time I go in, I'll have to bring some fruit for them. If I can bribe them, at least I won't have to be on tenterhooks every time I pass by."

  Although his own strength was not weak, every time he passed through the Tangting Mountain, seeing those ancient white apes with fearful and ferocious eyes, Li Meng's little heart would thump.

  "The mountain of Yuanyang is a yin mountain, so many yin evil things grow there, poisonous snakes and insects are everywhere, but in the mountain there is a kind of strange grass called Snake Crown Flower, which has the effect of detoxification and even enhancing the liver's resistance to toxins."

  Apart from the language record, there is also an illustration on the side, which is exactly the snake crown flower.

  "Snake Crown Flower was here all along!" Li Mang's eyes lit up again, and with that, the formula for the Black Tortoise Body Refining Broth only lacked the last two ingredients: Yangling Tuber and Jade Vine Shoots.

  There are many introductions about Mount Qiyun, including detailed descriptions of various species of snakes. Li Mang read them all carefully without missing a single one.

  Behind the mountain of Yuanyang is the mountain of Zhuyang, what was described made Li Mang surprised, among which the black turtle has the effect of nourishing yang and refining the body, drinking its blood has a better effect... However, Li Mang didn't have this appetite, last time he was haunted by ghost energy, forced to drink a cup of small black turtle's blood, that fishy smell made him want to vomit until now.

  Then came Lu Shu's description, which made Li Mang's heart chill.

  "The deer is a auspicious animal, wearing its fur can bring good luck, but the meat cannot be eaten, otherwise it will bring continuous bad luck."

  "This……" Li Mang really wanted to say that this was absurd, how could a deer change a person's fate? But thinking of the strange space in Shan Hai Jing, he hastily swallowed back the words that had reached his lips. This is the original Shan Hai Jing, and the recorded content should not be nonsense, at least those previous ones Li Mang have already verified.

  Li Mang broke out in a cold sweat at the thought, if it wasn't for Lu Shu's cowardice and running away first, with his gluttonous nature, he would have definitely killed and cooked him. A streak of bad luck? Li Mang didn't know what this concept was, but anyway, it was not good.

  He continued to look down, but almost dropped his jaw in surprise, this time with delight.

  "The Yangyang Mountain is full of yang energy, where a kind of sun spirit ginseng grows. Its leaves are the favorite food of the Luoshu deer, which regards them as sacred objects. If someone wants to destroy them, the timid Luoshu deer will rise up and resist fiercely, with astonishing combat power."

  "In the mountains of Yangyang, there is actually a sun spirit ginseng!" Li Mang's forehead was burning with heat. The formula for the turtle body soup had six materials, and now the turtle, warm jade, pomegranate, snake crown flower, and sun spirit ginseng were all accounted for, leaving only the last one, Wangtong tender shoots, to be found; otherwise, all efforts would be in vain.

  Unfortunately, until he finished reading about Zhuyang Mountain, Li Mang was unable to obtain any information related to the Jade Tendril Sprout.

  After Yangshan is Zhishan, after Zhishan is Tangyuan Mountain. Each has its own characteristics, and the living things are different, but they also have one thing in common, that is, there are no flowers, grass or trees, so naturally there is no Yuteng he wants to find.

  But just as Li Meng was becoming increasingly disappointed, he finally found the jade vine he had been searching for in the Ji Mountain behind Dan Yuan Shan.

  "Jade vine, growing out of the jade stone cluster, its entire body is like jade, beautiful and magnificent. Its tender buds can be eaten, having a miraculous effect of strengthening muscles, veins and bones..."

  "Finally found all the materials for the Black Tortoise Body Tempering!" Li Mang was overjoyed, as long as he gathered these materials, his body would become even stronger, it was a great joy.

  It seems like not much content has been read, but in fact half a book has already been finished. Adding Li Meng's need to read carefully, this really wastes a lot of time. Although he still wants to continue reading, unfortunately it is already afternoon working hours, so he reluctantly puts down the "Nan Ci Yi Jing" in his hand and leaves.
