Chapter 676: Sun radiance and moon essence

Moon-Gazing Tower.

The tallest building in the Imperial Capital.

The tallest building in the world!

Being able to ascend this tower is undoubtedly a great honor!

Liang Qu felt happy.

Previously, when the Golden Leaf Boat was on the canal, he could see the Moon-Gazing Tower towering into the clouds and felt infinite curiosity.

A spectacle, ah.

It's a pity that the opportunity to reach the top was not in the rewards for promoting to Hunting Tiger. He thought there was no hope this year, but he never expected that by fighting the Northern Court, things would take a turn for the better.

The other Sky Feather Guards were all excited.

Eunuch Li led the way in front, and several people followed on horseback, whispering and communicating.

The Moon-Gazing Tower looked close, but it was actually quite far away.

"Has Commander Meng reached the top of the Moon-Gazing Tower?"

Meng Qiang shook his head.

"As a Sky Feather Guard, I have occasionally come to the Moon-Gazing Tower to stand guard, but except for the first ten floors and the seventeenth and nineteenth floors, I have never been to the others. From the tenth floor up, you must have a pass token, otherwise, if you take half a step, you will be killed without mercy."

"What is the Moon-Gazing Tower for?"

"Storing scriptures, storing treasures, and absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon to assist in cultivation." Meng Qiang looked up at the tall building, "The main body of the Moon-Gazing Tower is the Yin-Yang Creation Divine Wood, with infinite creation, capable of absorbing the Qi of the sun and moon of the whole sky. It is the first-class divine tree treasure wood in heaven and earth."

"Although you have entered Hunting Tiger, you have not yet buried the seed of supernatural powers. Once you bury the seed of supernatural powers, you will know how difficult it is to nurture the seed of supernatural powers and make it grow into a pillar."

"But no matter how difficult, as long as you run to the Moon-Gazing Tower to cultivate, you can get twice the result with half the effort. From the 17th to the 25th floor, there are specialized cultivation rooms. You can exchange them with great merits. Once for three months, and you can't even grab a spot on the Bing-Fire Day every year."

"Can the Creation Divine Wood gather spiritual energy?"

Liang Qu was surprised.

To build a Perfected Form supernatural power from the Hunting Tiger supernatural power seed, one needs to take the long Qi of heaven and earth.

The old monk once compared it to "building a house". All things in heaven and earth, mountains, rivers, and marshes have Qi, but their Qi is slag wood and silt, which cannot be used to build a house. Only at special nodes can one find good wood and hard stone.

Hunting Tiger Grand Martial Artists nurturing supernatural power seeds are not so exaggerated; they only need "compost".

Turning a tiny seed into a load-bearing pillar for building a house doesn't require good wood or hard stone; finding silt that matches the phase can be used as nutrients, every bit of it.

But even so, it's not easy.

If you are unlucky and pick rotten mud or smelly mud, you might nurture it to wither or fail.

Meng Qiang's words were no different from saying that the Moon-Gazing Tower has the effect of gathering Qi.

"Exactly! The Creation Divine Wood can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and its nature is neutral and peaceful, just like the soil after spring rain, the black soil after composting, top-grade fertilizer!"

"If no one absorbs it, and it accumulates over time, will it manifest as true long Qi of heaven and earth?"

"Liang Hengwei is clever and good at drawing inferences!" Meng Qiang praised, not denying it, "The world knows that Xuan-Huang Qi is the first-class neutral and peaceful Qi in the world, but in fact, there is more than one way for us to manufacture long Qi."

"Any true long Qi essence produced in the Moon-Gazing Tower will be artificially collected and slowly accumulated into sun radiance and moon essence long Qi. Both belong to superior long Qi and are the exterior and interior of each other."

"If a man eats sun radiance and a woman eats moon essence, or vice versa, and then they become Jiang Zongshi Taoist companions, Yin and Yang are harmonized."

*Cough cough. *

"The mysteries within can only be understood, not described. In short, it is of great benefit to life and cultivation!"

Liang Qu was thoughtful.

Sun and moon essence...

Is there a relationship between red Qi and sun radiance?

Could it be that only the names are different?

He was skeptical about this.

After all, for a fish, separated by a prefecture and a province, the names can be different.

If they were truly the same.

Red Qi is available every year, where should moon essence come from?

He thought for a while.

"Commander Meng, is there a ratio between sun radiance and moon essence, with more of the former and less of the latter?"

Meng Qiang leaned back: "How did you know?"

"I guessed." Liang Qu pointed to the sun, "Bing-Fire two suns appear together, and even three, but the moon doesn't have such a situation, and sunlight is greater than moonlight. In terms of Yin and Yang, Yang Qi should be greater than Yin Qi, and collection should be faster."

Meng Qiang nodded: "On weekdays, it's about four to one. If you encounter a Bing-Fire Day, especially when three suns appear together, it might reach three to one."

"Three to one?"

"Sun radiance increases, and moon essence will also increase significantly, even more than sun radiance, the difference being slightly later by two days."

Three to one, slightly later by two days...

Liang Qu pondered.

In that case...

Should I have moon essence around this year?

Good news, ah!

During the conversation.

The Moon-Gazing Tower got closer and closer.

When they reached the bottom of the tower and looked up, anyone would feel awe.

Big!

Incomparably big!

Looking at the Moon-Gazing Tower from afar, it is tall and slender.

But when you truly reach the front, the actual floor area is surprisingly large, with the bottom floor being more than 40 mu, unimaginably wide.

Everyone dismounted, let the servants lead them to the stables, and walked into the tower.

"Everyone, please!"

Eunuch Li flicked his whisk.

Everyone collected their thoughts and stepped in respectfully.

A vast wind rushed to their faces, and a rich woody book fragrance lingered on the tip of their noses.

Looking around.

A towering giant pillar in the center of the Moon-Gazing Tower glowed with a faint green light, full of vitality. The craftsmen carved winding ring-shaped curved stairs along the entire giant pillar.

Afterwards...

"Why is the first floor full of classics?"

Liang Qu looked around.

The entire first floor was full of dense bookshelves, with officials coming and going, organizing, recording.

There were even relatively primitive bamboo slips and jade slips inside, which didn't look like things from the same era.

He would believe it if someone said there were hundreds of millions of classics inside.

"Didn't I say? Storing scriptures, storing treasures." Meng Qiang lowered his voice, "Most of the books in the Scripture Palace south of the Imperial Capital are rubbings, and the true originals are all stuffed into the Moon-Gazing Tower."

"Put them in, not only will they not be damaged, but they can even self-repair. The yellowed paper pages become white again, the damaged bamboo slips smooth themselves out, and the charm left by Grandmasters no longer fades."

"Precious elixirs and precious medicines are all like this. If you don't process the elixir, find a porcelain bowl, put it in the tower, and it won't spoil for a hundred years."

A super-sized fresh-keeping box, ah.

"Put it in the Moon-Gazing Tower, won't it be too high-profile..."

For a treasure house, shouldn't it be safer to build it underground?

Standing straight on the ground...

"Heh, your pattern is small, isn't it?" Meng Qiang grinned, "People who can come to the Moon-Gazing Tower in the Imperial Capital to steal things and succeed, let alone building the treasure house on the ground, even if it were built on a floating island in the sky, it would all be the same."

"That's true."

No matter how strong the treasure house door is, it's not as good as building a small wooden house, stuffing a meditation cushion inside, and moving a Martial Saint to sit there.

Eunuch Li led everyone up the stairs on the giant pillar, winding all the way up.

The steps under their feet were very hard, and the texture when stepped on didn't feel like wood, but more like jade or emerald.

Between the first and second floors, thick branches stretched out to support the entire floor.

"Eunuch Li, how tall is the Moon-Gazing Tower?" Liang Qu asked.

"626 zhang, 3 chi, 4 cun, totaling 33 large floors and 108 small room floors."

More than 2,000 meters!

Weird.

It's really that technology is not as good as materials.

Ordinary people climbing the stairs could be exhausted to death.

Everyone wound their way up, and their eyes passed through the window bars, feeling their line of sight getting higher and higher.

Above the tenth floor.

Basically, no officials could be seen. Eunuch Li showed the tokens one by one, holding them high.

On the 15th floor, faint clouds and mist drifted outside the window.

On the 18th floor, clouds and mist surged, and the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Capital began to blur.

On the 30th floor, a man and a woman sat on the left and right, sitting cross-legged in meditation. The man was handsome and refined, and the woman was gentle and beautiful, both looking like they were in their early twenties.

For some reason, Liang Qu always felt that the two were inexplicably a match.

Eunuch Li showed the token, and the two nodded lightly.

When they came to the 32nd floor.

Meng Qiang whispered: "Did you see the two people on the 30th floor?"

"What's wrong?"

"Sun radiance and moon essence!"

Meng Qiang winked.

Liang Qu understood.
