Chapter 7: The Divine Herbal Formula of Shennong

The numerous spiritual herbs found in ancient texts are extraordinary and unheard of. With Sui Ge's knowledge, it is naturally impossible to determine their authenticity

Sui Ge remained unmoved. After the other three left the dormitory, he pondered for a while before finally leaving the dormitory to prepare for the commencement of his cultivation endeavors

Regarding the viewpoints in the "Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra," Sui Ge believes they are quite reasonable. In the past, the longevity villages reported in newspapers and on television were often picturesque and isolated communities, while those suffering from cancer or strange diseases were mostly located in areas severely affected by industrial pollution. When food and water sources are contaminated, people will naturally develop various unusual illnesses

This means that everyone gets sick. The reason for illness is that there are inherent impurities and toxins present in foods such as grains and meats. When a person consumes these foods, these impurities and toxins naturally settle in the body, and after reaching a certain level, they will manifest as symptoms of illness

After a moment of ecstatic excitement, Sui Ge gradually calmed down

Wonderful

However, the addition of such a classic text in the mind is equivalent to Sui Ge gaining a wealth of knowledge in an intangible way

"I can't believe it, you're not going to the beautiful teacher's class, are you crazy?" Gao Feng said to Sui Ge while busy getting dressed

Sui Ge was immersed in the profound mysteries of the Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra, completely forgetting the passage of time along with the *illustrated* book

The other three people in the bedroom have gradually gotten up, and Jiang Tao is reminding Sui Ge to go to class

However, for ailments that cannot be cured by ordinary medicine, miraculous or divine remedies must surely be able to resolve them

According to the teachings of the Divine Farmer's Herbal Classic: "Humans consume grains and cereals, leading to a multitude of ailments"

The method of cultivation is not as Suige had seen in television or novels, where one directly enters meditation, practices breathing techniques, and absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. It is also not reliant on concocting some extraordinary elixir to elevate one's realm, but rather depends on the practice with plants and trees

After rushing back to the dormitory, Sui Ge changed into a different set of clothes and then began to ponder the additional set of Shennong Immortal Herb Formula that had appeared in his mind

Moreover, the immortal who authored the classic texts exhibits a somewhat arrogant tone, as if the contents within are exceptionally impressive. However, upon closer reflection, it is understandable for someone of such caliber, destined to ascend amidst the clouds, to possess a degree of self-importance

However, to completely eliminate impurities and toxins from the body, ordinary medicine is almost ineffective; only through elixirs or cultivation can this be achieved

The "Shennong Immortal Herb Formula" consists of two parts: one part focuses on the cultivation of spiritual herbs and the preparation of medicinal elixirs, while the other part pertains to the methods of cultivation, suggesting that the two aspects complement each other.

The other three people in the bedroom are currently busy with their grooming and tidying up, preparing to head to class.

Thinking of this, Sui Ge felt an overwhelming excitement in his heart

At present, without any spiritual herbs, it is naturally impossible to concoct spiritual medicines. Therefore, the urgent task is to search for clues about the spiritual herbs while simultaneously beginning cultivation to improve physical condition and enhance martial strength. Subsequently, he used the medical techniques from the Divine Farmer's Herbal Formula to diagnose himself. Although there were no major illnesses, there were indeed considerable impurities and toxins accumulated within his body, indicating that problems would inevitably arise sooner or later.

According to the words of the Immortal of the Celestial Garden, among all things in the world, only plants possess the innate ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, the sweet dew of rain and mist, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This instinct is, in fact, superior to some of the top innate techniques established by certain individuals in the realm of cultivation. The Divine Farmer's Herbal Secret can transfer this innate ability of plants to the practitioner, allowing them to achieve enlightenment through the plants, thereby cultivating various divine powers.

The Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra divides the cultivation path into twelve realms, namely: Body Refinement Stage, Qi Training Stage, Innate Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refinement Stage, Integration Stage, Great Ascension Stage, Tribulation Crossing Stage, and True Immortal.

Although spiritual herbs and medicines are currently unavailable, he can only temporarily focus his attention on cultivation. Furthermore, although Sui Ge is not a violent man obsessed with brute force, if his strength is insufficient, he will be unable to engage in heroic acts such as rescuing the fair or eliminating evil. Therefore, he believes that cultivation is indeed necessary. Moreover, the body is the foundation of revolution, and health is of utmost importance. Thus, he considers cultivation to be essential. Additionally, the body is the foundation of revolution, and health is of utmost importance.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. When Sui Ge was unaware of the Shennong Immortal Herb Formula, he was not concerned about his health. However, once he used the formula to diagnose the accumulation of numerous impurities and toxins within his body, he began to feel inexplicably anxious, perceiving these toxins as a ticking time bomb within him that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible

In Sui Ge's view, if he could extract the various spiritual herbs from the Divine Farmer's Herbal Formula, it would not only cure the old landlord's lameness but also allow him to amass great wealth. The old landlord had become the richest man within several dozen miles of Yongquan Village relying on just two inferior prescriptions, so Sui Ge believed that with the herbal formulas from the Divine Farmer's Herbal Formula, becoming a billionaire should not be a difficult task.

Class is in session

After browsing through it in a hasty manner, Sui Ge discovered that the Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra was, in fact, a profound and extensive Daoist classic, rather than merely an introduction to "immortal herbs." The ancient book that had been destroyed previously was actually just a small part of this Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra.

After calming his mind with the book, Sui Ge finally "saw" this strange and magical classic in his mind.

At this moment, Sui Ge was immersed in the wonders of the Divine Farmer's Herbal Sutra, fantasizing about the various benefits that would come with martial power and spiritual medicines. He had no mind to attend any classes and casually said, "You all go ahead."

Consider the current society: although medicine is increasingly advanced, the rampant spread of viruses and severe pollution, coupled with man-made disasters such as toxic fried dough sticks, contaminated milk powder, and fake vaccines, have led to the emergence of strange diseases and even large-scale epidemics. Despite the proliferation of various pharmaceutical companies, many diseases remain incurable.

Swordsmanship, martial arts, alchemy, Zen... the myriad paths ultimately converge in the path of immortality. I, an old man, have taken a different approach, finding enlightenment through the study of plants and trees. The tribulation is imminent, and my ascension is just around the corner. The only regret is that all I have learned in my life has no place to be entrusted, fearing that this exquisite method may be lost to time. Thus, I have authored this tome, sealed within the primordial stone, to be left for those destined to find it

However, judging by the tone of the Immortal Garden Master, spiritual herbs and elixirs are undoubtedly his most cherished achievements in life

However, the previous root of Bupleurum and the dog-skin plaster concocted by the old landlord, to some extent, served as a reassurance.

If one could concoct the spiritual medicines recorded in the Shennong Immortal Herb Formula, how could one not expect a continuous flow of wealth

The medicines made from these five categories of plants are also divided into five types: common medicine, spiritual medicine, magical medicine, immortal medicine, and celestial medicine

The Immortal of the Celestial Garden categorizes all plants in the world into five types based on the level of vital energy they contain, namely medicinal herbs, spiritual herbs, demonic herbs, immortal herbs, and heavenly herbs

In the "Divine Farmer's Herbal Formula," the first stage of cultivation is referred to as "Body Refinement." Body Refinement involves the process of refining the body. Ordinary individuals often have weak physiques, and their bodies are burdened with many acquired impurities and filth. Only by refining the body, eliminating the dross and preserving the essence, can one achieve greater results with less effort in their cultivation.

Common medicines can merely treat illnesses and promote health; spiritual medicines, however, can improve meridians, extend lifespan, and assist in cultivation; demonic medicines are exceedingly powerful, capable of transforming individuals into demons; celestial medicines can reverse life and death, and enable cultivators to elevate their realms; heavenly medicines can defy fate and transcend the cycle of reincarnation

Sui Ge, where did you run off to last night—class is about to start, hurry up and go

Then let's prepare for body tempering Suige was already somewhat impatient and quickly checked the cultivation methods in the Shennong Immortal Herb Sutra

Although the items in the Divine Farmer's Herbal Classic are impressive, a clever woman cannot cook without rice. Sui Ge does not possess any spiritual herbs, and thus cannot concoct any spiritual medicines, let alone use them to practice medicine for profit

And he, mastering the elixirs, cultivating both medicine and the Dao, with a continuous flow of wealth, indulging freely in the pleasures of life, what a delightful existence that is
