Chapter 6 Alchemy

There is no rest on New Year's Day, and there is an update without price increase. Can you give me a collection?

*******

An hour passed in a blink of an eye. In addition to introducing these fragmented knowledge, Fu Ling focused on teaching various techniques and techniques of alchemy.

Finally, Fu Ling said lightly: "It's been one year since you learned this alchemy technique. I guess you are quite familiar with how to refine alchemy. However, it's completely different to hearing all kinds of skills in your own hands! Today, I will give each of you ten pieces of materials for Peiyuan Pills, and try to refine Peiyuan Pills. Those who perform the best will have a heavy reward!"

There was a sudden joy below, and only Elder Fu Ling would give them all such an opportunity to refine alchemy.

Of course, every time I refine an alchemy like this, I actually have the intention of taking the school exam secretly. Everyone is happy and they are also a little nervous. Moreover, since Fu Ling said that there will be a heavy reward, then the most elixirs are refined and the best ones will definitely have a particularly generous reward.

I don't know what it will be...

Even if I don’t have hope, I feel envious and expectant in my heart.

However, Qi Ming's face showed red light. He thought that among these outer disciples, who had the strongest alchemy skills, who else could be besides him? He was sure to win.

Without mentioning how excited these outer disciples were, Fu Ling immediately ordered to lead everyone to the earth fire room in the inner hall one by one.

They are all just in the Qi training stage and can only borrow earth fire to refine alchemy. The earth fire is extremely hot and needs special magic arrays to protect it. Naturally, it is impossible to be in such a hall.

Such an opportunity is rare, and Ling Xiao cherishes it very much.

Together with Feng Yi, he followed the senior brother who led the way and moved along the corridor behind the hall to the ground fire room built underground. This was only the second time he came here. As soon as he stepped in, he felt a deep heat that spread upward from his feet. The entire soles of his feet were boiling; the air that breathed into his nose and mouth was even more burning.

Looking up, I saw a vast space underground, with green three-legged furnaces floating just one foot above the ground. Most of the bottom of the furnaces had been burned to a fiery red.

Directly below the furnace, there were complex lines outlined with unknown materials. Looking along the lines, it seemed as if a wave of fire suddenly spurted out, and the burning eyes were stinging.

Ling Xiao quickly withdrew his gaze, knowing that his cultivation level was still too low at this time and he still could not look directly at the magic array.

Looking at Feng Yi beside her, her pretty face was roasted by the ground fire, which made her dizzy and even more beautiful. Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster inexplicably.

However, he always thought that Feng Yi was like his own sister, and with such a stunning idea, he just turned around. Instead, he thought in his heart that Feng Yi had grown up and was a big girl.

Gradually, he separated from Fengyi, searched for land, followed the others' appearance, and sat cross-legged in front of the furnace. Since alchemy requires concentrating all his mind, each furnace was separated by a very wide distance to avoid disturbing each other. - Ling Xiao didn't know that this was actually a very rough arrangement; the formal alchemy room was all raised by each other.

Looking around, there was a thin outer disciple sitting beside him, his eyes were turning slightly, and his face was cunning. Ling Xiao knew that his name was Pang Shan, and he was getting started at the same time as him. He has only only had a level of cultivation level of Qi training, and his qualifications can only be considered as a middle-aged or lower-level.

Seeing him peeking around, he secretly put the distributed materials in his sleeves and hid most of them. Daqi couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Pang, what are you doing?"

Pang Shan was shocked and felt relieved when he saw that it was Ling Xiao. He had a good relationship with Ling Xiao. He looked around and looked at Ling Xiao with a slight look and said, "Junior Brother Ling, I tell you, don't tell others! Hiding these materials and selling them out will easily make a good income!"

Ling Xiao was shocked, "Then how do you refine the elixir?"

Pang Shan smiled "hehe" and said unconsciously: "Refining alchemy? How could a low-level cultivator afford to practice? I don't have that talent."

Ling Xiao was both shocked and funny, and couldn't help but ask again, "Even so, how many opportunities can you have in this year? What can you make with this?"

Pang Shan looked at him and showed a show-off expression, "You don't know, right?", and chuckled and whispered: "This can only be considered extra money! The main thing is that there is a pill that can be exchanged for monthly contribution points."

The pills exchanged for contribution points? That is used to allow them to practice!

Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, and then he understood that he had given up cultivating immortals! Outer disciples like them completed some sect tasks every month, such as picking herbs and getting contribution points, and then they could exchange them for some elixirs for their cultivation and use, etc. The value of these elixirs is far greater than those herbs.

If you transfer these elixirs, you will definitely earn a lot of money by turning them over. Perhaps those among monks are nothing, but what if you return to the world?

A little bit of spirit stone you earn casually is enough to make them live without worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

It seems like a feasible way, but without the help of elixirs, and relying solely on yourself, how long will it take for them to break through? I am afraid that there will be no chance of success in my life to build a foundation!

Ling Xiao felt a little regretful, but he also understood that even if he could get help from elixir every month, how many people could successfully build the foundation? The outer disciples can get too few resources; and not everyone has enough talent.

Instead of struggling for a lifetime, he could not succeed in building a foundation. Perhaps he would do this. He took these opportunities to save up a fortune and wait until he left Qiyun Sect in the future and returned to the secular world to enjoy his life.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little silent. Everyone has their own ambitions, so naturally he can't force it.

He has always been determined, but Pang Shan's words did not shake his determination to cultivate immortality. But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths, and they are different.

I had a lot of thoughts for a moment, and it was not until Elder Fuling appeared that he came to his senses.

After Elder Fu Ling briefly mentioned some key points, he ordered each to start refining the alchemy.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, breathed slowly, and eliminated all distracting thoughts. Before refining the alchemy, he must adjust his body and mind to the best state, otherwise, if he is a little distracted during the alchemy process, he will almost mean that the alchemy has failed!

Every failure of alchemy means the waste of precious materials.

He rarely has the opportunity to refine alchemy, so he is naturally more cautious.

After adjusting his breath for a full stick of incense, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he imitated the appearance of others, and made several magic tricks in his hand. The underground magic circle was immediately activated, and the complex lines lit up one by one, and the red flames immediately burst out from the ground and sprayed on the bottom of the furnace.

The first is the temperature furnace. Although there is no need to worry about failure and waste materials, Ling Xiao did not dare to neglect at all.

His alchemy techniques were learned little by little in such teachings. Although he practiced diligently in private, he could not be familiar with them anyway, so he was naturally more careful.

Several consecutive magic tricks were shot out, and the flames spewed out from the underground magic array were immediately divided into four strands under the guidance of his true energy, lingering upwards, like a circling fire dragon, spraying on the lower part of the furnace cauldron; from time to time, there were wisps of flames that rushed out from the side of the furnace cauldron, causing waves of heat to rush over.

Refining alchemy requires fine operation of flames and elixirs, so naturally he has extremely high requirements for divine consciousness. Ling Xiao’s cultivation is shallow, and such a level of flame is already the limit of his control. If he really wants to change him to a better alchemy room, he is afraid he can’t even control the flame.

The divine consciousness sensed the fire in the furnace and cauldron was enough, and then they took out all the materials of Peiyuan Dan, large and small: Hunyuan jade, spiritual branches, Peiyuan grass... one by one.

The effect of Peiyuan Pill is to assist monks in practicing. It is just the most basic elixir, but there are also three main medicines and more than ten auxiliary medicines. This one alone shows the difficulty of refining alchemy.

Next is the purification of the herbs.

This is also an extremely difficult part in the eyes of others, but for Ling Xiao, there is no difficulty at all.

However, despite this, he did not immediately mean to burn the spiritual medicine with mysterious flames. At this time, if he easily purified the spiritual medicine in front of everyone, wouldn’t it be even more suspicious?

Therefore, Ling Xiao followed others' appearance and first sent the spiritual branch into the vent of the furnace. The spiritual branch was a dead branch like a branch, curved like a dragon, dry and wrinkled. If it weren't for the abundant spiritual energy, it would almost make people mistakenly think that it was just an ordinary dead branch.

Pinch the magic tricks in your hand, carefully protect the spiritual branch, control the temperature of the earth fire, and use the usual methods to refine the spiritual branch little by little.

The flames outlined, the heat boiled, and the spiritual branches condensed, refined, and purified little by little under the protection of his true energy.

"Shit-"

But soon, a hissing sound suddenly came from the furnace and the flame suddenly rose. The temperature in the furnace and the temperature was out of control for a moment. The spiritual branch was immediately burned into black ashes by the ground fire.

Ling Xiao waved to capture the spiritual branch that was refined and could not help but sigh slightly.

The four main steps of alchemy are: warming the furnace, purification, condensing the pill, and taking the pill. Among them, purification and condensing the pill are very easy to fail. It is not surprising that he has few opportunities to practice and will become unfamiliar or even fail to purify.

Put the waste spiritual branches aside and continue to purify the remaining materials.

Time passed by little by little. From time to time, muffled sounds and sighs from other brothers. It was difficult to refine alchemy, and most of them, the outer disciples, rarely had such an opportunity to refine them in practice, so some people failed frequently.

A full hour passed.

Ling Xiao breathed out a long time, stopped, and looked at the result of his refining, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He refined nine parts of the materials in total, and only one part of Tongling Branch was successfully purified, two parts of Peiyuan Grass and two parts of Hunyuan Jade were successfully purified; there were two or three kinds of other auxiliary materials...

Whether it is the spiritual branch, Peiyuan grass or Hunyuan jade, they are all essential materials for refining Peiyuan Pill. In other words, he can only be considered to have successfully purified the nine parts of the material! And judging from the purity of the powder, it is probably less than 60%, which is much worse than the powder he purified with the mysterious flame.

Looking at the other brothers, most of them have successfully purified two or three copies; those who are more skilled can even purify four or five copies.

Ling Xiao glanced around quietly, and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he took the remaining part of the materials. He planned to use the mysterious flame to purify the last part. With such a success rate, he probably wouldn't attract the attention of others, right?

First throw the material into the furnace and cauldron, then slowly approach the furnace and cauldron, silently circulate the true energy, wrap the light green flame, spray out from the palm of your hand, and directly send it into the furnace and cauldron.

He was extremely careful and no one paid special attention to him, so he did not leave any trace.

The process went very smoothly.

Tongling Branch, Hunyuan Jade, Peiyuan Grass... All the main and auxiliary medicines of Peiyuan Pill were easily burned into pure powder by him using mysterious flames - pure powder for alchemy.

Moreover, each powder maintains a very high purity. Of course, he could also see that these powders, in terms of color and fragrance, are worse than the powders purified by the Jiuzhi grass, and they must be slightly worse than those of the Jiuzhi grass. However, the strange flames once occupied the roots of the Jiuzhi grass. It is not surprising that this is what I think about...

The material purification has been completed, and the next step is to condense the elixir.

This was only his second time to refine the alchemy, and the memory of the last time he refines the alchemy was not very beautiful. Ling Xiao calmed down and was about to pick up the magic tricks and prepare to start the more critical elixir, a faint voice suddenly sounded in front of him:

"Is this the powder you just refined?"
Chapter completed!
