Chapter Thirty-Five: Practicing Alchemy
On the way to Danding Pavilion, the eyes of the outer disciples looking at Yan Nuo were filled with admiration and awe. They all called their senior brothers and took the initiative to greet them. Those who used to make fun of him avoided them from afar, for fear that they would touch the head.
On the Danding Peak, many alchemists changed their indifference in the past and nodded to Yan Nuo with a smile.
On the way, I met Master Lin Dan, and Yan Nuo still bowed to show his junior respect. The old man Lin just glanced at Yan Nuo strangely and still walked away.
I walked straight to the Danshu Pavilion. It is said that although the Danshu Pavilion is not big, it has a rich collection of books, all of which are jade slips and books passed down from the Yuxiao Sect’s founding sect.
However, last time, he absorbed two hundred spiritual energy from Ziche Ding in one breath, and then entered meditation and meditated. Yan Nuo used his spiritual sense to communicate with him several times. Ziche Ding was just suspended in the sea of consciousness and did not respond.
In front of the Danshu Pavilion, Yan Nuo made a sound transmission note and entered. A water-like restriction appeared in front of him. A figure appeared in the restriction. Yan Nuo bowed and bowed: "Uncle Master! I will come to the Danshu Pavilion to consult the ancient Danshu Book Book!"
It was seen that the monk in the ban had a foundation-building stage cultivation, so he promised to be called Master Uncle.
The head looked at Yan Nuo's waist card through the ban. He thought he knew that Yan Nuo had defeated the disciples of the Cave Heaven Pavilion. He smiled and opened the ban without hesitation and praised him: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, the little guy is very good!"
Walking behind the in charge, I realized that the Danshu Pavilion's ban was actually a five-element formation set up against the cliffs. It reversed Yin and Yang, secretly combined with the spiritual power attack of five attributes, and seized the fortune of heaven and earth. Even if the golden elixir monk broke into the formation, there was no possibility of escape.
After leaving another cup of tea, the manager took out a waist sign from his body and opened the ban. After a wave of water-like waves, the rock wall in front of him instantly turned into a gorgeous pavilion. Such advanced illusion is really amazing.
The formula of various types of elixirs, the ratio of medicinal herbs and herbs, as well as the replacement medicinal materials when a certain herb is lacking, the control of the heat when practicing elixirs, and the order and precautions for the medicinal materials when making elixirs.
Unlike the jade elixir recipes bought in Dazefang, Nanhuang, each elixir here has the value evaluation of this elixir and precautions for preparing herbs by ancestors of all generations, as well as the best way to take elixirs, especially the experience of using elixirs when making elixirs.
Every jade slip is extremely precious. In a trance, ten days have passed, and Yan Nuo is immersed in this pill recipe.
While reading these jade slips carefully, some precious jade slips are also copied into the blank jade slips prepared in advance.
Suddenly, I woke up from my obsession with alchemy and asked about the manager of the Dan Book Pavilion. I had not been out of the book Pavilion for ten days.
I was shocked and meditated cross-leggedly, secretly angered myself in obsessed with ordinary skills, delaying my practice, calming my mind and meditating and practicing.
After a few cycles of operation, Yan Nuo stood up and realized in his heart why the alchemist's cultivation was generally not high. This alchemy technique really makes people obsessed with it. Just like himself, there is no extra time to practice magic.
Fortunately, I put some dry food and bacon in the storage bag in advance. After eating it for a few bites, I picked up the elixir recipe and started reading it.
I saw the introduction of the flame in a jade slip. The flames distinguish the heat and temperature from dark red, deep red, orange red, pure orange red, kumquat red, golden yellow, golden white, pure white, white blue, sky blue, and different heats are controlled according to the medicinal properties of different herbs. The color of the flame is an important basis for judging temperature.
"I didn't expect that the alchemists in the world had such a detailed understanding of flames!" The little tripod, who had been in meditation for many days, finally woke up.
Yan Nuo did not make any sound and continued to study the jade slip.
"A fire that has not been extinguished for a thousand years will be produced after reaching its peak." Ziche Ding sighed and said.
"Fire Spirit? What is Fire Spirit?" Yan Nuo asked curiously with putting down the jade slip in his hand.
"The fire spirit is an existence that looks like a demon, not a demon, neither a god or a monster. It is the fire that produces spiritual wisdom as time goes by." Ziche Ding said: "The subdued fire spirit can not only refine elixirs, but also be used as fire for refining weapons. The blue sky flame is the legendary fire that is perfect."
Yan Nuo was fascinated by listening.
"Samadhi true fire, the heart is the king fire, also called the divine fire, and its name is called Shangmei, and the kidney is the minister fire, also called the essence fire, and it is called Zhongmei; the bladder is the qi sea below the navel, which is called the people's fire, and it is called Xiamei; this is Samadhi!"
Although Yan Nuo seemed to understand, he understood most of it.
Seeing Yan Nuo being fascinated by listening, Ziche Ding explained the true fire that monks could produce in detail.
After building foundation, monks can emit foundation-building true fire from their bodies, also known as innate true fire, which is produced by burning spiritual power in their bodies. It is better to refine general elixirs. However, because foundation-building cultivators have limited spiritual power, they have been persisting for a short time, and few monks use it. The true fire temperature of the elixir stage cultivators is extremely high, so they can be used to refine elixirs and refine magic weapons, especially natal magic weapons. The natal magic weapons refined by the elixir real fire of their own golden elixir real fire can be matched with themselves to the best state.
Unconsciously, three months passed by in the Danshu Pavilion. In addition to some sleep time, it was convenient to meditate and read Danshu. After learning about the best way to take elixirs, my cultivation reached the late stage of the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage. During this period, I went from various low-level elixir recipes that are helpful to practice to the elixir recipes used in the Danshu stage, especially the healing elixir Yan Nuo has long been memorized in his chest and recorded on the jade slip.
Suddenly, I had an idea and found a batch of low-level medicinal materials purchased in Nanhuangfang City in my storage bag. It is better to go to the alchemy room to refine one or two first.
When he made up his mind to walk out of the Danshu Pavilion, the manager was shocked when he saw Yan Nuo walking out. He had already forgotten that this person was still in the Danshu Pavilion. He calculated his fingers and found that it had been as many as a hundred days, and he was surprised.
With a little use of spiritual consciousness, this student's cultivation level has improved by one level within a hundred days, and he has reached the late stage of the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Yan Nuo collected a lot of herbs in the mountain and Nanhuang. He only cared about his cultivation and kept them in the storage bag. Yan Nuo roughly estimated that the medicinal materials in his hand were enough to refine dozens of furnaces of elixirs by himself, so he walked into the elixir room at night and tried to refine the most basic marrow-cleaning pill.
"The easiest thing to refine is not the marrow cleaning pill but the marrow cleaning spirit liquid!" Ziche Ding used his spiritual sense to communicate: "The marrow cleaning spirit liquid is liquid, and the requirements for alchemy techniques are not high, but just to control the heat!"
He learned from the way those alchemists were when they were refining elixirs, hit the earth fire gate, and introduced the earth fire into the alchemy cauldron. As the alchemy fire was introduced into the alchemy cauldron, the temperature in the alchemy room suddenly increased. At this time, Yan Nuo arranged the herbs needed for the marrow washing pill neatly in the order of placement.
The temperature in the alchemy cauldron gradually reached the requirement of refining elixirs, and Yan Nuo put a herb into the alchemy cauldron.
With a slight "羊" sound, the herb turned into ashes in the alchemy fire.
Yan Nuo curled his lips helplessly.
"Hmph! The temperature in the alchemy cauldron is too high!" Ziche cauldron came from the sea of consciousness: "When refining elixirs, you use your soul power to control the temperature of the flame. The locations and environments of each herb grow are different. Even the herbs in the same year are different, so you can only try to control the transformation of the flame from low to high!"
Yan Nuo nodded and threw another herb into the alchemy...
At dawn, Yan Nuo rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen, and waited all night. After failing more than ten times, he successfully refined three small bottles of marrow-cleaning spirit liquid, which only consumed excessive soul power and had some pain in his head.
"This marrow-cleaning spirit liquid is the exclusive formula of Ding Ye! You have taken it for a while, and you know the best of the effect of enhancing your cultivation!" Ziche Ding's proud voice came from the sea of consciousness.
Yan Nuo nodded: "The effect is good! But only you can refine this marrow-cleaning spirit liquid?" A gaze of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"I underestimate Master Ding, right!" Xiaoding's voice was arrogant and disdainful: "The elixir of Master Ding's marrow cleaning spirit liquid was passed down from ancient times. It is unique to Master Ding's family. If you know how to refine it here, the sect will also refine the Laoshizi marrow cleaning pill. What is the Peiyuan Pill for!"
"Don't brag, what if someone can make it?" Yan Nuo burst out laughing.
"There are countless medicinal materials in various interfaces in the cultivation world, and the medicinal properties of each medicinal material are different. Even the same medicinal material has different properties depending on the origin. Only those who are familiar with pharmacology can screen various medicinal materials and prepare theoretical prescriptions. However, it is unknown how many tests it takes to turn the theoretical prescription into a real elixir. The amount of each medicinal material directly affects the medicinal properties of the elixir and the success or failure of the elixir refining."
Ziche Ding in the sea of consciousness began to talk endlessly: "Although some elixirs are refined and formed, the medicinal properties are still unknown. If the medicine backfires after taking it, I will not tell you much, and you can guess it! In short, the hard work you put into every elixir can be imagined!"
"It is also the order of refining elixirs, the order of herbs being invested, the degree of fusion of the essence after refining herbs, the year and portion of the herbs, and the temperature and concentration of the flames in the alchemy cauldron are all confirmed by the predecessors of the alchemy masters to reach the best conclusions. Especially when using soul perception to control the flames, it is necessary for those with outstanding talents. Think about a huge sect in the Yuxiao Sect, where only two marrow-cleaning pills are allocated per month by disciples of the Qi Refining Stage, you can imagine the scarcity of alchemy masters."
"Pills are essential for every cultivator, and those high-level alchemy masters are even rare. To put it unpleasantly, if there are enough elixirs, even the most chaotic spiritual roots can be easily smashed to the Nascent Soul stage with elixirs! The most important thing for alchemists is to have soul power, and having strong soul power is a prerequisite for becoming an alchemist!" The little tripod in the sea of consciousness seemed to chatter like an old man, but Yan Nuo was obsessed with it.
