Chapter two hundred and sixty eight: Qingtian loose people
The entire alchemy lecture room covers an area of less than one acre, but it is packed with hundreds of people. This shows how enthusiastic everyone is about Qingtian Sanren. Of course, the people here are not all alchemists, and a large part of them are
Just came to watch the fun.
About a quarter of an hour later, a slender old man walked into the alchemy room and came to a small high platform in the middle of the room. The high platform was not big, only two feet in diameter, with a table and two
chairs, and a large alchemy furnace.
This slender old man is Qingtian Sanren, the head of the alchemy academy. He has a seventh-level cultivation. Because he has been refining alchemy for many years, his body always carries the fragrance of spiritual herbs and the burnt smell of elixirs.
At the beginning of every month, the Alchemy Academy will send out alchemy lectures. The alchemy room of the Dao Chuan Gong Hall will explain the basic knowledge of alchemy to everyone. Qingtian Sanren, as the director of the Alchemy Academy, will occasionally come. This depends on his mood, or
It's about whether he has time.
When Qingtian Sanren come here, they will definitely not be like those low-level alchemists who only explain some basic knowledge, but some more advanced theories. After the explanation, they will also allow the people below to ask questions at will. Such an opportunity is extremely rare and should not be missed.
, so among the people listening to the lecture in the alchemy room, there are also many younger generations who like alchemy.
After sitting down on the chair, Qingtian Sanren cleared his throat and said: "The jade furnace is used to burn the medicine for longevity, practice the right way to cultivate the pill for longevity, I can breathe in and out, my nature is empty and the heart is boundless, the silence can make me forget.
Illusion me, in order to see the natural precursor of life, lead and mercury exchange the magical elixir, the universe is clearly understood by the immortals..."
Qingtian Sanren recited the formula in one breath, and the entire alchemy room suddenly became silent. Only Qingtian Sanren's voice echoed around, while the people below were in various poses, some were thoughtful, some suddenly realized, and some
Frowning and tangled, some people raised their eyebrows with joy, perhaps because they heard the key point, while others perked up their ears and looked at the stage expectantly.
Before this, Qingyang had never been exposed to the art of alchemy. He seemed to understand but not understand what he heard below. It seemed that every sentence was incomprehensible, but when he thought about it carefully, it contained the truth of heaven and earth. This was not only the art of alchemy.
The technique is even useful for cultivation, and he soon became immersed in it.
Qingtian Sanren's explanation is the sound of nature to those who listen attentively, and they don't feel that time flies by at all. For those who have no interest, it is a torture and they can't wait for it to end quickly.
He didn't understand and regretted following him in, but Qingyang listened with interest and became more and more fascinated.
I don't know how long it took, but Qingtian Sanren had finished what he needed to say, so he said, "If anyone has any questions while refining the alchemy, you can ask me questions."
At this time, a thin middle-aged man stood up and said: "Uncle Qingtian, Uncle Qingtian, I have been studying alchemy for more than ten years. At first, I was identifying various spiritual herbs and materials, and then I was trying various methods.
I am familiar with the basic steps and methods of refining alchemy. Later I collected a lot of alchemy recipes and tried to refine many elixirs. It can be said that I have made some achievements in alchemy, but I have
I still can’t figure out a problem.”
This lean middle-aged man was in his forties and had a third-level Qi refining level. From the whispers of the people nearby, Qingyang figured out the identity of this man. His name was Chang Wubing. He was obsessed with alchemy and even delayed
After practicing alchemy, he is considered the best among the younger generation.
The Qingtian Sanren above seemed to have heard of Chang Wubing's name. He nodded at him and asked, "What's the problem?"
Chang Wubing said: "I have a lot of prescriptions for elixirs, and the refining of elixirs has been successful. After countless attempts, I have become very familiar with the refining methods, but why is the success rate still not high?
Hovering between 20% and 30%?”
Qingtian Sanren on the stage smiled and said: "To be able to ask such a question, it seems that you have not learned the alchemy skills in vain over the years, and you are really working hard. To refine the elixir, the first thing you need is the formula and the level of the elixir.
Different, the formulas are also different. The higher the level of the elixir, the more complex the formula is and the more difficult it is to understand. For example, the Qi-Nourishing Pill taken during the Qi-Opening Stage and the Qi-Gathering Pill taken during the Qi-Refining Stage.
There are requirements for the type, dosage, year, amount of auxiliary drugs, adding time, heat, refining techniques, etc. of the main medicinal materials. You should be very clear about these, right?"
Chang Wubing nodded and said: "Everything is clear."
Qingtian Sanren said: "Many people have the same doubts as you. Now that we have the formula and know how to make it, why is the chance of failure still so high? In fact, this is the problem with the elixir I want to tell you. The formula is given
is just the standard configuration of various medicinal materials, but in fact the medicinal materials are not as standard as marked on the formula. For example, the hundred-year-old elixir may have grown for one hundred and two years, or it may have grown for ninety-nine years and a few months.
The subtle difference cannot be seen, but the potency is different; for the same reason, even a standard one-hundred-year-old elixir may grow in the dense forests of the east, the mountains of the west, or the swamps of the south.
It may grow in the northern desert, and regional differences can also affect the potency; even if it is the same year and the same region, the environment in which it grows may be different. It may grow in a relatively barren place in dry land, or it may
It grows in relatively fertile places. If it is further broken down, it also depends on the age of its growth. Some have encountered more natural disasters while growing, and some have grown peacefully for so many years. There are also different picking methods and different blooming methods.
The difference in placement time and the difference in drug power loss, etc..."
Chang Wubing fell into deep thought, and Qingyang nodded secretly as he listened below. This Qingtian Sanren is worthy of being the chief alchemist of Qingfeng Palace. He can casually tell so much about the factors that affect the potency of medicine.
Qingtian Sanren on the stage did not care what the people below thought. He continued: "Since there are so many external conditions affecting it, of course the medicinal power contained in each elixir is also different. A slight difference can make a huge difference, and each elixir has
The medicines are slightly different from the formula. Will there be no difference in the elixir that is finally mixed together? Can the success rate of the elixir be high? These are not marked on the formula, but they have a real impact.
When it comes to the quality of the elixir, many people don’t know this reason, so refining the elixir always fails.”
Na Chang Wubing said thoughtfully: "A slight difference in the potency of the medicine may affect the effect of the elixir, but when the differences in countless elixirs accumulate, the impact will be too great. According to this, the effect of the elixir on
It's not of much use to us alchemists, it just provides a reference. To refine a batch of elixir is equivalent to reorganizing the entire recipe."
