Chapter [355] Pill Bandit Visits
Lu Bu looked at a group of alchemists kneeling in front of him, his face sinking like water.
One hundred lead mercury pills are produced every day. Since Lu Bu has to steal them every day, Jia Mu will go to the warehouse to pick up the goods every day, and the quantity has been supervised by Jia Mu.
When Jia Mu came to the warehouse that day, he found that there were hundreds of pills in stock missing, so he immediately reported it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's first reaction was to guard against himself, and these alchemists stole the pills.
After all, the alchemists made alchemy in order to pursue longevity, and there was no better reason for them to steal pills.
But soon Lu Bu rejected this idea, because the daily supply of raw materials to the alchemy room is limited, and after excluding the 100 pills put into storage every day, there are still a lot of raw materials left. Welfare, the removed materials are used for their own alchemy.
Therefore, alchemists are not short of pills to eat, and they have enough pills to swallow every day.
Moreover, pills are poisonous, and alchemists would swallow one pill every three to five days. If they took it every day like Lu Bu, they would burp within a few days.
Hundreds of pills disappeared, and Lu Bu didn't need to look into the alchemist's body to find out that there was no large amount of toxin left.
This shows that the alchemists did not eat it secretly, and there are so many of them, eating them in one go will definitely kill people.
Alchemists do have toxin residues in their bodies, but generally speaking, they are still in a normal range, and Fang Yu's self-stealing can basically be ruled out.
Hundreds of pills are not small, requiring two boxes to hold them.
It is good that there is no record of leaving the warehouse, but there is no record of entering and leaving the palace, which means that these pills bypassed the guards of the palace, and then disappeared.
If foreign thieves enter the palace and take these pills away, then the matter will be very serious.
This shows that someone can ignore the guards of the palace, walk in the courtyard, come and go freely, and leave easily with two boxes.
"Okay, you go on alchemy, this matter has nothing to do with you." Lu Bu waved Fang back.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"
The alchemists were all pardoned, and their hanging hearts finally fell to the ground, so they don't have to worry about their heads moving.
Although the alchemists left, Lu Bu's expression was still not very good.
"Your Majesty, 560 is guilty of a lowly position. He failed to guard the imperial palace closely, causing thieves to enter the imperial city." Jia Mu immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Since Lu Bu said that it wasn't the alchemists who were guarding against themselves and stealing, the problem with this matter is not just the problem of theft, but the problem of hidden dangers in the safety of the imperial city.
As Lu Bu's security captain, Jia Mu has always been in charge of guarding the imperial city.
"Get up." Lu Bu said: "I have personally seen the guards and patrol arrangements in the imperial city. It is obvious that thieves are not ordinary people who can bypass this kind of defense."
"Your Majesty, I'm going to strengthen the defense of the imperial city." Jia Mu said in a deep voice.
"No." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Just keep the status quo, and don't startle the snake."
"Husband is trying to lure the snake out of the hole?" Cai Yan who was at the side couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, if a thief can come in once, he can come in a second time." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days."
"Once the guard is strengthened, the thieves will definitely be alarmed."
"Keep the status quo. If the thief succeeds once, he will definitely think of coming again." Lu Bu sneered, "I want to see who is so capable that he dares to come to my Lu Bu's house to steal things."
"Ma'am, my husband is going to wait in the warehouse for a while, please allow me." Lu Bu reported to Yan Shi.
"Okay..." Yan Shi also realized the seriousness of the matter, and she felt uneasy about being burglarized at home, but she still didn't forget to tell her: "Don't steal the pills without seeing them."
"Don't worry, ma'am, it's not a good thing. Why do you steal pills for your husband?" Lu Bu lied without changing his face.
"Well, my husband, remember to be careful, if a thief can sneak in, he must have extraordinary skills." Yan said again.
Madam, don't worry, the spoon man has never been afraid of anyone!" Lu Dao.
Seeing this, the wives and concubines felt relieved, for what Lu Bu said was indeed the truth, there was really no need to worry about fighting.
After explaining to his wives and concubines, Lu Bu moved to the warehouse where the pills were stored that night, and there was only one wall away from the warehouse.
After many years, Lu Bu put on the unicorn armor again, shrunk Fang Tian's painting halberd and hung it around his waist, and kept the Qianjun bow at hand.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Lu Bu began to meditate and practice Qi, and it was not a problem to wait all the time.
There is a reminder of the sixth sense, once the thief goes to the warehouse next door, Lu Bu will wake up from the samadhi.
As for Yan's advice, Lu Bu just ignored it, and took drugs while meditating.
In this way, Lu Bu's Qi training speed is naturally very fast.
Lu Bu has been taking drugs for a month, and the originally empty dantian has been filled with breath.
Taking drugs while meditating, within a few days, Lu Bu's dantian in his lower abdomen was already full.
A bulging feeling came from the lower abdomen, and Lu Bu woke up from the trance.
Although there are three dantians, because the qi in the dantian needs to be continuously circulated, after the dantian is filled, Lu Bu cannot continue to fill the other two dantians, which will cause the breath to stagnate in the body, which is definitely not a good thing.
Lu Bu has been running for a week, and the feeling of bloating under the lower abdomen becomes more and more obvious.
"I can't continue to practice, if I continue to practice, my dantian will explode." With a thought, Lu Bu gathered all his breath in his dantian.
"Wow, I haven't practiced for a few days and reached the full level?" Lu Bu was a little bit pained.
It's like finding a very fun game, Lu Bu just conquered a boss, directly promoted to level 999, and the experience is directly full, suddenly there is a feeling of dullness
After a short period of frustration, Lu Bu began to think again.
"This kind of aura is infinitely useful. I guess it is in a bottleneck period right now, but it may not be able to reach the full level of the sky.
"The main reason is that there is no one to teach them, and they all rely on their own groping... The appearance of the Pill Stealer this time may still be an opportunity."
There are a lot of treasures in the palace, and the other party didn't steal anything else, but stole some pills. It can be said that the goal is clear, which is enough to explain the problem to a certain extent.
If the pills were useless, why did the other party steal the two boxes? The thief who stole the pills must know the art of practicing Qi, so he attacked the palace warehouse.
"I don't know if these breaths can temper the body?" Lu Bu had a whim.
Practice the muscles, bones and skin outside, because you can breathe in one breath.
Now that he has practiced to the full state in one breath and cannot continue to increase, Lu can't help but think of external training, so that the breath can act on the body.
As long as it can continue to increase its combat power, it doesn't matter to Lu Bu whether he can train internally or externally.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu began to mobilize the qi in his dantian, and began to swim in his body.
But although the breath wanders in the body, it just wanders. Wherever it passes, it does not increase the strength of the body organs.
Including that Lu Bu injected breath into the liver before. Although it can improve the function of the liver, once the breath is stopped, the liver will return to normal, and there is no change in essence
"How can the breath be dissolved in the body?"
Lu Bu kept looking inside his body, and finally fixed his gaze on the heart.
"Perhaps it is possible to inject the breath into the heart, and then flow through the blood, dissolve the breath in the blood, and then spread it to every corner of the body..."
Since there is no guidance, Lu Bu needs to cross the river by feeling the stones in terms of Qi training.
Breath enters the heart, Lu Bu has never tried it before, and once the heart has problems due to this, no matter how good Lu Bu's medical skills are, it will be impossible to save.
But in the end Lu Bu still made up his mind, dragged his breath towards the heart, and injected a wisp of breath into the heart first.
"Pounding!
The moment the breath injected into the heart, Lu Bu obviously felt the heart beating violently.
The breath circulated in the heart, burst out with the beating of the heart, and pressed the breath into the blood.
"It's done!" Lu couldn't help but get excited.
Since it is successful, it means that this matter works, and it depends on what changes will be brought to the body after increasing the breath injection.
Time passed by, and as more and more breaths were injected, Lu Bu felt obvious changes, and his body was gradually becoming stronger.
Ding: [force value +1]
Hearing the prompt from the system, Lu Bu couldn't help but smile.
In the past, no matter how much Qi was practiced, the system did not prompt that the force value increased, because the breath was still a foreign object to Lu Bu, after all, once the breath was used up, the force of the string of cloth would return to normal.
And this time the system prompts the force value +1, although it is only a little bit, but 1 point of force value is permanently added to Lu Bu's panel, which is definitely a major improvement.
Not only the strength value increased, but Lu Bu felt that his internal organs, body hair, skin, muscles, bones, skin and blood marrow had all improved to varying degrees.
Lu Bu's heart was hot, and as a large amount of breath was injected into the heart, rushing towards the limbs and bones, the swelling feeling in the lower abdomen disappeared.
Throwing a lead mercury pill into his mouth, Lu Bu continued to practice Qi.
The breath starts from the pubic region of the lower abdomen, goes upward along the meridians, and when passing through the liver, a part of the breath will be separated to strengthen the liver's metabolic function, so as to detoxify.
The remaining breath continues to go up along the meridians, then enters the sea of qi, and then part of it enters the heart and merges into the blood.
The rest of the breath finally enters the Niwan Palace, and then returns to the Dantian along the spine, completing a cycle, and the Qi in the Dantian grows.
While consuming, while taking drugs, while running Sunday.
The three achieve a perfect balance, which can keep Lu Bu's pubic region full at all times, and at the same time, continuously inject breath into the liver to detoxify and inject the heart into the body to strengthen the body.
After the dantian was filled, Lu Bu found a way to improve again.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Lu Bu sat in meditation, improving himself at full speed while waiting for the pill thief to come again.
Half a month later.
Among the Jiu Jun Mountains in the north of Xianyang, a middle-aged man who was cross-legged in the forest slowly opened his eyes.
"I didn't expect such magical pills to be produced in the palace of ordinary people." The man sighed and said to himself: "There are still a lot of pills in the palace. If I can take them all away, it will be enough for me to condense them." Jin Dan, maybe you can show some filial piety to Master."
"The imperial palace in Xianyang City is where my Ge Xuan's fortune lies. It would be inappropriate to take it without telling me..."
"Hmm... bestowing that ordinary emperor with a bowl of talisman water afterward can be regarded as his good fortune.
After speaking, Ge Xuan got up from the ground, and there were two boxes beside him, which were filled with silver lead and mercury pellets.
After these days, he can barely digest a pill.
Pinching the formula with his hands, the ground around Ge Xuan sank into a pit, and he squeezed two boxes of pills ten miles away.
The formula changed again, Ge Xuan was as light as a swallow, he could float forward several feet with one step, and it didn't take long for him to come down from the mountain.
After arriving near Xianyang, Ge Xuancai stopped his miraculous movement, and walked into Xianyang City pretending to be an ordinary person.
As the starting point of the Silk Road, Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, no longer has a curfew. People can enter and leave the city at will, and will not be interrogated by the guards in front of the gate.
And even if there is an interrogation, Ge Xuan has his own means to get past him.
After coming to the city and wandering around until it got dark, Ge Xuan headed towards the imperial city this time.
Finding a relatively hidden corner, after the patrolling soldiers passed by, Ge Xuan, who was dressed in black, once again used his light-weight body technique, kicked his toes on the city wall a few times, and successfully crossed the nine-foot-high city wall , entered the palace, bypassed all the defenses under the cover of night, and headed towards where the alchemy room was located. .
