And Xu Bo is not as idle as Jiang Dong. He wants to refine the alchemy cauldron, form a tacit understanding between it and himself, and master the method of using it skillfully, so as to avoid accidents in the future when refining alchemy and wasting the great good.
Medicinal materials. So Uncle Xu held the alchemy cauldron in his arms all day long, slowly sorting it out with his spiritual consciousness and true energy, so that it could be put to full use as soon as possible to serve Uncle Xu.
Jiang Dong didn't understand these things, and he never thought that he would learn the art of alchemy. Anyway, with Uncle Xu as his master, he didn't have to worry about anything.
After a few days, Uncle Xu finally became familiar with the alchemy cauldron and found out the method of using it to make alchemy from the classics. So after some preparation, Uncle Xu began to practice.
For the first time, Uncle Xu did not use the precious spiritual grass, but used some low-level spiritual grass that had been cultivated recently in Jiangdong, and refined a relatively low-level elixir: Bigu Pill.
Usually, Uncle Xu grinds up various spiritual herbs and mixes them, then puts them in his hands and uses the fireball formed by his true energy to refine them. This is really inefficient and a waste of true energy.
But this time it’s different with the Danding!
Jiang Dong watched as Uncle Xu placed the alchemy cauldron on an insulated mat and placed it on the coffee table of the wooden bed, and then handed over handfuls of the spiritual herbs he had dried and ground.
Uncle Xu twisted the fingers of his hands together, and with a "pop" sound, a ball of fire flashed out, the size of a walnut, flashing with red light.
The fire ball was thrown into the cauldron by Uncle Xu, and it immediately covered the entire bottom of the cauldron and slowly burned. What surprised Jiang Dong was that although the alchemy cauldron did not have a lid, the fire ball was suppressed in the cauldron and could not escape.
You can't even feel the heat next to it! This is the magic of Danding!
Uncle Xu took the spiritual grass powder handed over by Jiang Dong and put it into the cauldron one by one. After adding it, he added a little more fire, then he took a long breath and said, "Okay, I won't be here anymore."
That's all, let the cauldron be refined slowly by itself!" After saying that, he went outside to get some fresh air.
Jiang Dong sat on the edge of the coffee table and looked at the alchemy cauldron curiously.
The cauldron was full of red light, and through the firelight one could vaguely see that the spiritual grass at the bottom was slowly melting and merging instead of being burned out. After more than half an hour, the herbs were completely melted and unified.
.
At this time, Uncle Xu came in and saw it. He used his spiritual consciousness to slowly remove the impurities from the herbs, gathered the remaining grass juice into small balls, and then filled the flames with true energy.
, sat aside and drank tea leisurely.
After another hour or so, the flames in the cauldron gradually weakened, and finally receded completely. Uncle Xu came over and picked up the alchemy cauldron, wrapped the elixir inside with his true energy, and then poured the formed elixir inside.
In the porcelain plate, look at it from left to right.
Jiang Dong touched the alchemy cauldron and found that there was no heat at all on it. No wonder it kept a small amount of zhenqi burning for such a long time. It turned out that it was the heat insulation effect it had that prevented any zhenqi from being wasted.
Uncle Xu looked at the Bigu Pill in his hand for a while, tried one for himself, and then handed one to Jiang Dong for him to try too.
Jiang Dong took the elixir. From the appearance, it was no different from the elixir that Uncle Xu had refined with his bare hands before. It was the same size and the same brown color. It was only when he put it in his mouth that he realized the difference. This elixir was refined from a cauldron.
The prepared Bigu Pill is easier to melt. It will be decomposed by saliva immediately after entering the mouth, and then turn into a stream of true energy that slowly flows downward with the breath. Even the medicinal effect is more than twice as strong as the previous Bigu Pill.
!
With this newly refined elixir, Jiang Dong could last for half a month without eating after taking one pill without worrying about not being able to keep up with his physical strength or starving to death.
Xu Bo said happily: "This elixir cauldron is really well-deserved. The elixirs produced are so good that even I didn't expect it!"
"With it, can I break through the bottleneck?" Jiang Dong asked.
"That's not necessarily the case. Some people find it difficult to break through even with the best elixirs, while some people can resolve it on their own without using elixirs, and some people have no bottleneck at all. It all depends on the individual's destiny.
"Uncle Xu stroked his beard and said, "But with this thousand-year spiritual charge, you can probably break through the bottleneck."
Jiang Dong immediately became happy and said, "Then start refining the elixir quickly?"
Uncle Xu's face sank and he said, "Why are you so anxious? I have something on my mind. I'm afraid I won't be able to go all out in refining it. What should I do if it goes bad?"
"What's on your mind?" Jiang Dong felt that this old man had already seen through the world of mortals and life and death, but now he said he had something on his mind. What could it be?
Uncle Xu smacked his lips and said, "Ever since I ate roast rabbit that day, I have been thinking about eating it again. If I can untie my knot, it will be much easier to refine this elixir."
"Oh!" Jiang Dong suddenly realized: "So that's it! Wait, I'll hunt rabbits right away!" After saying that, he turned around and ran out, muttering to himself, it turns out that the old man was thinking about my roast rabbit.
Meat, you're still talking around the bush here about what's on your mind, I think you're just greedy!
After eating and drinking, Uncle Xu began to work.
After rummaging through the classics, I finally found a prescription for breaking through the bottleneck, called the "Body-Refining Pill". The ingredients stated that it requires the stems of thousand-year-old spiritual lotus plus some common spiritual herbs, such as safflower, chicken and so on.
Blood vine, Rehmannia glutinosa, etc. In fact, the most important thing for refining this body-building muscle-building pill is the spirit lotus stem. The rest are dispensable. They are all herbs that activate blood circulation and promote absorption, but they must be catalyzed by spiritual energy.
If it is not available, you can substitute it with other herbs with the same medicinal properties.
The refining process was no different, except that it took a little longer than refining the Bigu Pill. It took a full day of refining, and all the energy in Xu Bo and Jiang Dong's bodies was exhausted, and finally the pill was finally made.
The medicine solidified and took shape.
Jiang Dong couldn't wait for the elixir to cool down, so he took it and ate it, and then ran to the edge of the water pool to meditate to resolve it. Seeing Jiang Dong's impatience, Uncle Xu couldn't help but shake his head and smile. After laughing, there was a trace of dismay in his eyes.
There was an unpredictable coldness, and I didn't know what the old man was thinking.
In this way, Jiangdong refined and stored the absorbed spiritual energy, and then let it flow rapidly through the body to support the meridians, and then sucked the sea of energy to the fullest. Not only that, Jiangdong also wanted to
He stuffed his true energy vigorously into it until the sea of qi swelled so much that it hurt. Then he started a new cycle of circling around the sky.
Cultivation has no time, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. During these days, Jiang Dong, except for exercising his stiff body and taking a few Bigu Pills, spent the rest of the time sitting by the pool, working seriously.
The true energy flows and swirls in the meridians and seas of energy in the body, even forgetting the passage of time and the cold weather.
One day, Jiang Dong felt that his Qi sea had suddenly grown a lot, and his meridians were much smoother than before. He felt ecstatic and wondered if he had broken through the bottleneck? So he hurried to find Uncle Xu.
Uncle Xu used his spiritual sense to explore Jiang Dong's body, and then said with a smile: "The bottleneck is gone, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi refining. It seems that this spiritual lotus is indeed very effective. After all, there are two
The spiritual grass that has cultivated for thousands of years!"
Jiang Dong jumped up with joy, and regardless of Xu Botong's disapproval, he ran to the cupboard and took out the spirit wine he had brewed, shouting that he must catch a rabbit to celebrate.
Uncle Xu smiled and scolded: "You boy, I think you have been thinking about my spiritual wine for a long time, right?"
"Hehe! Aren't you always thinking about your apprentice's roast rabbit meat?" Jiang Dong retorted with a smile.
"What a good boy! I'm not even willing to drink this spiritual wine, so today I've given you an advantage!" Uncle Xu pointed at Jiang Dong's nose and smiled.
In the afternoon, Jiang Dong ran into the mountains. The weather had already turned cold, and the plants in the mountains had withered away. This caused a lot of trouble for the wild animals, because they could no longer find such dense grass to hide in.
, but it makes hunting in Jiangdong a lot more convenient.
In the evening, the old man and the young man sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, drank wine, ate meat, and chatted about the past and present. They were very happy.
Most of the time, Uncle Xu speaks and Jiang Dong listens, because there are too many things in the world of cultivation, and there are many things Jiang Dong doesn't know. In terms of cultivation, Jiang Dong has not even stepped into the threshold of cultivation!
"You always said, when can I build the foundation?" Jiang Dong's face was red from drinking. This time he drank freely, and the spirit wine brewed by Uncle Xu himself was very strong.
Uncle Xu wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said: "Judging from your body's meridians, you can clear the barrier at any time!"
Jiang Dong asked: "Isn't foundation building a big pass? How come it has arrived so quickly?"
"It's not the credit of Linghe!" Uncle Xu tore up another piece of barbecue, held it in his hand and said, "That Linghe has two thousand years of practice, it's a pity to use it on you!"
"Isn't there some leftover? You can also refine other things, refine the elixirs you need!" Jiang Dong said.
"Isn't that reserved for your kid to use for foundation building? I can't enjoy it!" Speaking of this, Uncle Xu looked at Jiang Dong: "Actually, I have no effect if I use it. The Qi refining period is the easiest period.
, if you have the assistance of high-level elixirs, you can make great progress, and you can even skip a level! But after entering the foundation building stage, it depends on the physical condition of the practitioner. Even if you have high-level elixirs, you may not be able to improve your cultivation much."
Uncle Xu took a bite of the barbecue, chewed it, and then said: "Even if I swallowed the whole spirit lotus, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the foundation-building stage. And if I can't enter the golden elixir stage, my lifespan will still be that long.
, this cannot be changed! So, it is better for you to use the Linghe."
Jiang Dong suddenly felt a sad emotion welling up in him. He put the wine back to his mouth. He remembered that Uncle Xu was more than 210 years old this year, and the life span in the foundation period was only more than 200 points.
Son, so he asked Xu Bo: "Then, how long will it take?"
