Very reasonable cultivation

what?

Tian Zhen felt a chill on his scalp. He touched his bald head and said awkwardly, "Isn't this poisonous?"

"Hey, you still have some common sense. Don't worry, if you are poisoned to death, it will definitely be recorded in my research manual and you will become the first cultivator in history to be poisoned by mushrooms." Elder Guo smiled and seemed to be interested in the fact that ordinary poisonous mushrooms could be used to poison cultivators.

"Ah, this?" Tian Zhen could only see the grayish-white color, but he couldn't eat the ugly-looking mushrooms. So he quickly offered a suggestion: "Can you wash them first and then squeeze the juice?"

Elder Guo smoothed his goatee and said, "Yes, the effect is pretty much the same."

Well, let’s squeeze the juice!

After Elder Guo carefully washed them several times with water, the pile of mushrooms were crushed into an invisible thick liquid by an invisible force, and then pulled into the prepared gourd.

"Come, drink!" Mr. Guo handed the full gourd to Tian Zhen.

He took it and smelled it. It had a unique mushroom smell, but nothing strange.

After taking a sip, my face immediately wrinkled up. It was astringent, so astringent. Not only was it astringent, it was also bitter, sticky, and had a very disgusting mushroom smell.

Is this something you can eat?

Tui～uh uh uh ahhh! Tui～tui～tui～

It took me three bites in a row to come back to my senses, but when I thought about it, I couldn't help shivering and rolling my eyes, almost fainting.

"Mr. Guo, is there any other way? I really can't do this!" Tian Zhen held the gourd with a sad face, wanting to hand it back.

Seeing that Tian Zhen had no hair and eyebrows, but still had such a rich expression, the little girl watching the show at the side finally couldn't help but burst into laughter like a silver bell. When she saw Tian Zhen looking at her, she stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and hid behind Mr. Guo.

"Hey~ Don't be anxious, let me add some wood essence." Elder Guo refused to take the gourd and signaled Tian Zhen not to be anxious. He flipped his palm and a small green light floated on it. Of course, in Tian Zhen's eyes, it was just a small white light.

The light spot began to resonate with the surrounding air molecules, and began to synchronize their properties like an interaction force and evaporate.

This made Tian Zhen smell a familiar smell, alcohol?

"Why does this wood essence smell like alcohol?" he asked with a puzzled look.

In response to Tian Zhen's question, Elder Guo directly asked, "Don't just look at the surface, otherwise what do you think the essence of wood is?"

"Ah, it really is the spirit of wine?" Tian Zhen's face suddenly enlightened. So that's it. What are the essences of fire, water, earth, and gold?

Just as he was about to ask about the corresponding things behind it, Mr. Guo dropped the light into the gourd.

Oh, isn't it? Does alcohol actually glow? What kind of balance is this? Mushroom wine? I've never heard of that.

Countless doubts arose in my mind, but Mr. Guo signaled that I could drink.

He suppressed the discomfort caused by the previous smell, grinned, and took another sip against the stronger smell of mushrooms and alcohol.

Uh uh, haaaaah, spicy, choking, pungent and with a lingering mushroom flavor.

Tian Zhen shuddered as he swallowed it with difficulty, but at least he could eat it.

"Sit cross-legged, don't reject it, and feel the changes with your heart." Mr. Guo instructed.

Tian Zhen did as he was told. After a while, just a few breaths, Tian Zhen felt his head was dizzy, and colorful halos appeared in his vision. The sound was like a muffled sound in the water. After a while, his vision became colorful, but there was fusion and distortion between things, swaying colorful lines, and a few dancing figures appeared.

His mind became a little less clear, but also became pure. He couldn't help but reach out to grab the dancing figures in the air. The figures scattered. He stared at the arms that were emitting colorful ripples and let out a silly laugh.

I really don't know if he was poisoned or drunk.

Elder Guo was giving Tian Zhen acupuncture on the head while explaining something to his great-granddaughter. The little girl was listening very attentively. Colorful ripples emanated from their bodies, leaving colorful lines and particles with their movements, and leaving various different art paintings on the colorful background.

Tian Zhen was immersed in the changes of colors, curious about the meaning of the changes, and tried to distinguish the corresponding objects in the colorful colors.

This was a different perspective from before, and it was even more chaotic, leaving him confused for a moment, but he was very patient and not anxious at all.

Time passed from morning to afternoon, the sunset glowed red on the hilltops in the sky, and all the movement in the world seemed to draw a circle, forming one yin and yang closed loop after another, hiding all the vitality in silence.

The rich colors in Tian Zhen's eyes gradually faded, leaving only a faint red haze like a filter.

A deep sense of drowsiness washed over him, and he knew it was the gradual synchrony of his spirit and qi, his mind sinking uncontrollably into the stillness of his body. He could use any movement in the outside world as a fulcrum to achieve a moment of clarity, but why did he need to be awake?

It has been a long time since I slept so naturally. My consciousness relaxed immediately and I lay down on the spot. The last thing I saw was the last dusk on the horizon and the half-hidden full moon.

The next day.

Tian Zhen woke up with the moist and fresh air of the early morning. Next to him was an incense burner with some dew on its surface.

The next day.

The sky was hazy, not yet bright, and the sun had not yet risen, but Tian Zhen was full of energy, feeling a comfortable feeling of alternating tension and relaxation.

He stood up straight, just like a zombie, stretched normally, and made a sound like a tiger or leopard thundering, causing the surrounding air molecules to vibrate along with it.

After his consciousness and body completed the synchronization, he felt relieved. He bent down to pick up the gourd on the ground that was still half filled with mushroom wine, gestured with it, and tied it to the belt around his waist.

The world is full of joy, and I am the only Drunken Sword Immortal.

Drunken Sword Immortal? Haha! The thought that suddenly popped up in his mind made him shudder with shame.

He shook his head to get rid of the thought, then paid attention to the world in front of him. The mushroom wine had some effect, and there were some faint colors in his vision.

What's the principle behind this? I started to think about it.

Mushrooms are fungi, and poisonous mushrooms are even more stubborn and varied. They are brightly colored and have strange appearances. They are not as easily absorbed and assimilated by the human body as ordinary and unpretentious mushrooms.

These poisonous mushrooms act on the internal organs and the nervous system, and the corresponding symptoms are different.

The body of a cultivator has reached a certain level of control over the balance of the body. Being immune to all poisons is not just talk. Even if it is a stubborn poison, with enough time and a certain level of proficiency, they can drink it as water.

It was also the first time for Tian Zhen to taste this fancy mushroom, so he was naturally a little scared. After all, he had heard of the red umbrella and white stem in his previous life.

Now he knows things are different now, and he is extremely curious about the function of the nervous system to produce hallucinations.

Hallucinations are very strange. According to Tian Zhen's analysis, they are a chain reaction of cognition based on the senses driving ideology.

For example, when you see a stone, your brain will produce a complete cognitive illusion based on the patterns on the stone without thinking. This illusion is beyond human associative ability.

Isn't that a contradiction? How can cognitive illusions produce illusions beyond cognition?

This shows that humans themselves are part of all things. Through the medium of poisonous mushrooms, the information they can receive is beyond the conscious cognition. The associations generated by the memory naturally make the conscious cognition feel novel.

It's like the rotating light next to a hair salon, or the colorful light ball in a dance hall.

The lamp is originally one color, but after putting on the colorful lampshade, the single light suddenly has different colors.

External factors are like lights covered by poisonous mushrooms and memories, suddenly becoming colorful.

If poisonous mushrooms can help the human brain absorb more information about things, then what do they correspond to?
