A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 111: Bug! Big Bug!

As a novice in short video production, even with the increasingly advanced tools and pre-written copy, Zhou Qing still spent an entire afternoon to complete it.

As he expected, most of the time was spent familiarizing himself with the tools and replacing inappropriate footage.

“If I make similar videos again in the future, I definitely won’t need to spend so much time on it.”

The final length of this video was eighteen minutes. After Zhou Qing gave it a final check, he sent it to Teacher Bai first.

Teacher Bai has now returned to the county and is at his home in Sunshine Garden Community. After seeing the video he sent, he immediately turned off the TV and watched it carefully.

On Zhou Qing's side, after sending the video, he still did not extract it immediately, but thought about another problem - when he was making the video in the afternoon, he was thinking that the author of the novel was undoubtedly critical of the Taoist external alchemy, but correspondingly, his attitude towards the internal alchemy was completely different.

"The secret of the perfect combination of exoteric and esoteric teachings is truly wonderful, but unfortunately there is no one to explain it to you when cultivating your nature and life."

Zhou Qing recited the opening sentence of "Dapin Tianxian Jue" and for a moment he had many distracting thoughts. He felt that many contents in "Journey to the West" were about to appear before his eyes, but they just "didn't come out".

It's the same situation as a man, it's really uncomfortable to hold it in.

He was confused for a moment.

After a while, he simply shook his head and put all his thoughts behind him. He took out his notebook, opened the latest page, and wrote three key words: inner alchemy, dual cultivation of sex and life, and the unity of three religions.

"This is the end of my second reading of Journey to the West. I'll leave the rest for my third reading."

"Now, it's time to draw items!"

This round of busyness has lasted for this moment. No matter how bold Zhou Qing is, he can't help but feel excited at this moment.

He looked at the time. It was five forty in the evening, already the hour of You.

After checking, I found that the surface of the Polygonatum was dry like leather, but the inside was still soft, just right. So I put it back to the bedroom on the second floor, drew the curtains, and hung it in the shade to dry.

Zhou Qing temporarily closed all the doors and windows to prevent any small animals from coming in.

I took a shower and when I came out, I immediately opened the bedroom door to ventilate.

Then he sat down in front of the bamboo board with the Polygonatum odoratum on it, called out the panel, gave it some psychological hints, and chose to just draw but not take.

The next moment, a passage of text emerged in my mind——

[I saw a leopard tiger running into me from the opposite side. He saw Boqin and quickly turned back...

They fought for an hour, then Tiger Claw's waist slowly relaxed, and the Taibao stabbed him in the chest with a fork. A pitiful sight, the steel fork pierced his heart and liver, and blood immediately flowed all over the ground... He was barely breathing, but his face remained calm as he said to Sanzang, "Fortune! Fortune! This mountain cat will be enough for the elder to eat for a few days."

Zhou Qing was deeply impressed by this passage and immediately realized that it was about Liu Bochin, the second-generation escort of Tang Monk, killing a big tiger with a steel fork.

Could it be?

Zhou Qing's heart trembled, and he quickly shifted his attention to the "Extractable Items" option. Sure enough, there was an extra item there:
[Extractable items: a spotted tiger, a handful of mountain spring water...a bottle of methaqualone, etc.]

Bug, a big bug!
He immediately waved excitedly.

This time, I definitely made money!

In the world of Journey to the West, there are hordes of goblins and monsters in the mountains and fields.

Judging from the Polygonatum odoratum found in Huaguo Mountain, the wild creatures in this world are basically not simple.

"Liu Bochin was able to kill a tiger with ease, remaining breathless and expressionless. His physical fitness is clearly not comparable to that of an ordinary person. Perhaps it's because he frequently eats tiger and leopard meat."

"This tiger is just an ordinary mountain. The spiritual energy around it is not as good as that of Mount Huaguo. The medicinal effects of tiger blood, tiger meat, and tiger bones are definitely not as good as those of the Huangjing from Mount Huaguo. But it has the advantage of being large and abundant!"

The original text described a leopard tiger, its breath whirring like the wind, that Liu Bochin had just killed with a steel fork. Although he had easily dragged it back to the villa with one hand, it wasn't because the tiger was light, but because Liu Bochin was too strong. Later, to carry the tiger's body back to the courtyard, three or four servants were needed. Zhou Qing thought about it and searched on his phone for the size and weight of an average adult tiger.

"Two to two and a half meters tall, and about one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty kilograms."

"The book says it took three or four grown men to carry it, so the tiger must have weighed at least 200 kilograms."

Zhou Qing already had many ideas in his mind about how to deal with this big beast in the future.

"The blood must not be wasted. It might be comparable to the snake blood Guo Jing drank in The Legend of the Condor Heroes! When extracting it, we must ensure the surrounding temperature is high enough to prevent the blood from coagulating quickly."

"As for meat, you can refer to Liu Boqin's method in the original Journey to the West and eat it directly after it's cooked."

"As for the bones and the whip..."

Zhou Qingchang thought for a while, then stopped thinking temporarily.

"You could say my whole body is full of treasures, and absolutely nothing can be wasted. However... this is something I picked up from a novel myself, so it definitely doesn't count."

He thought a lot at once, and the smile on his face never stopped.

But he soon remembered something and his expression became strange.

"Snakes are lustful. After taking snake gall, my sexual ability will definitely become stronger."

"The Nine Yang Manual cultivates the Nine Yang Qi, which is extremely strong and yang."

"Huaguoshan Huangjing has the effect of replenishing essence."

"Tiger blood, tiger bones, and tiger penis... from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this must have aphrodisiac properties!"

"This……"

Zhou Qing "stared" at the panel again, his expression becoming strange.

Our panel seems a bit unconventional.

However, the "core driver" of the panel is the desire deep in one's soul, so from this logic...

"Well, I'm a bit of a bitter person at heart."

Of course, this was just a half-self-deprecating remark. There must be reasons in this regard, but it should not be just that. Zhou Qing speculated that there might be deeper factors that he did not understand for the time being.

"As long as I don't extract it, I can maintain the state described in the book forever. There's no rush for now. Let's prepare the Polygonatum odoratum first and test the effects of the Flower-Fruit Mountain spiritual herbs first!"

Zhou Qing was in a very good mood after winning something good. He stood up, touched the cooled Polygonatum odoratum, sprayed it with rice wine, then lit the charcoal to boil water again and started the second steaming.

The steaming time needs to be gradually shortened, six hours for the first time, five hours for the second time, and four hours for the third time. After that, the time remains unchanged and a low fire is used. The requirement is that the charcoal fire is covered with ash, and it is slow and long-lasting.

While busy steaming the second batch, Teacher Bai also replied: "I think it's very good, upload it, I'm looking forward to the likes and comments from netizens."

Zhou Qing used his notebook as a small fan to fan the charcoal until it was burning hot. Then he sat back down on the rattan chair next to him, picked up his phone, and replied, "Well, I'll upload it right away. But let's be calm. There are so many people making short videos nowadays. Maybe no one will watch it if I post it online."

Teacher Bai: "Well, I'll keep an eye on the online feedback for you."

Zhou Qing replied with a (hug) emoticon, and then he chatted with his parents in the family group for a while. Whenever his mother asked him how his business was doing, he would "brag" about himself.

Half an hour later, Zhou Qing changed some charcoal and suddenly remembered Gu Qian, who he hadn't heard from since then. He unlocked his phone and wanted to ask her how she was doing, but then he thought it would be better to ask Ruoshui directly. He found Jiang Ruoshui's WeChat and typed:

"Classmate Ruoshui, what are you doing? How are my health care lady's skills? Why don't you have any follow-up?"
