Chapter 76 Soul Gathering Grass, Second-Class Alchemist
Li Xian took out the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, read it carefully, and wrote down all the elixirs needed in it, preparing to collect it slowly.
After reading, Li Yi frowned. The refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill requires three main elixirs, and its auxiliary elixirs actually require hundreds of kinds. There are many elixirs, and he is also the third one. I heard about it once.
"It seems that this foundation-building pill is really not something that ordinary people can refine. These elixirs alone are not something that ordinary people can gather together. No wonder it requires the entire sect to refine it." Li Yi smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
However, it is possible for Li Yi, who owns a small tripod. He is now responsible for looking after a small medicine garden and can collect elixirs openly without being suspected by others. Otherwise, as a monk in the Qi refining stage, collecting immature elixirs everywhere, he would definitely arouse suspicion. But now if he manages a medicine garden, it will still be a medicine garden where elixirs are often lost, and with his identity as an alchemist , even if you collect more elixirs, it won't arouse people's suspicion. This made Li Yi feel very wise in choosing West Wind Valley.
This is the first time for Li Yi to come to a large sect like Tianqiaomen. He is still very careful. As a monk with five spiritual roots, even if he has the identity of an alchemist as a cover, if his cultivation continues to improve so fast, he will still Get some people's attention. The secret that he carries the mysterious little cauldron must not be exposed. Once exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, within half a year of entering the sect, Li Yi did not do anything. He just stayed in the West Wind Valley, doing his best to take care of the medicine garden, cultivating elixirs, and trying to figure out how to make alchemy. When he was interested, he would occasionally refine one or two. Furnace elixir.
In the past six months, he has not gained anything. He has sorted out all the elixirs in the medicine garden. There are more than a hundred elixirs grown here, many of which are not found in the Xiaoding space. Here, he easily prepared all the auxiliary elixirs for the Spirit Rejuvenation Pill and the Marrow Cleansing Pill. He had already collected the main spiritual herbs needed to make the elixir. He only needed to use a small cauldron to ripen them. It's time to start refining the medicine. You must know that these two elixirs are second-grade elixirs. If these two elixirs can be refined, he will be a genuine second-grade alchemist.
Of course, among the second-grade elixirs in his hand, there is also the rather mysterious Yunshen Dan. This kind of elixir is not an elixir to improve cultivation, but to help monks conceive and improve their spiritual consciousness. This kind of elixir is very rare in the world of immortality. Its main elixir is a soul-accumulating grass, a gray-black grass that seems to be able to suck away a person's soul. Li Yi simply doesn't dare look more. The rest of the auxiliary elixirs are all yin-property herbs, which always give people a gloomy feeling. Li Yi doesn't like this feeling very much. For safety reasons, he did not plant these elixirs in the small medicine garden. He did not forget Mo Qingyu's solemn instructions before, so he had to carefully preserve these elixirs and plant them in the space of the small tripod in the future.
While taking care of the elixirs, there was another thing that made Li Yi quite happy. That was the elixirs on his body, plus the elixirs grown in the small medicine garden. Among the elixirs required for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, there were enough elixirs. There are more than forty kinds, accounting for almost one-third of the required elixirs. This discovery made Li Yi particularly excited. He had collected all the elixirs and the time needed to refine the foundation-building pills would be greatly reduced.
In the past six months, Li Yi discovered that more than a dozen of the elixirs here were missing. Li Yi could not find the reason for the loss. It was very strange. After checking it, but to no avail, he had no choice but to give up. , Fortunately, not many elixirs were lost, so he could still accept it.
Half a year passed by in a flash. The little old man who had given him the sect's mission came here in person to inspect the situation of the medicine garden, and at the same time he also collected the elixirs refined by Li Yi. When Li Yi handed over the elixir, he showed great pain and complained to the little old man, saying that a lot of elixirs were lost here, which he had made up for with his own elixirs, and he must change the mission next year. , the little old man naturally comforted him again and told him many benefits of West Wind Valley.
After sending the little old man away, Li Yi began to busy himself with his own affairs. He first planted all the three elixirs, including the marrow-cleansing pill, the spirit-recovering pill, and the divine-accumulating pill, as well as the spiritual herbs needed, into his small cauldron space. among them, and then use the mysterious cyan liquid for cultivation.
Among them, Li Yi quickly cultivated the elixir needed for the Spiritual Recovery Pill. In order to allow himself to refine high-quality elixirs, Li Yi cultivated the Yunling Grass and the Dew Grass to be six or seven hundred years old. as long as. After more than half a year of cultivation, he obtained hundreds of copies of the refining elixir.
During this period, Li Yi took out five pith-washing fruits. After eating the pulp, a thin layer of black substance appeared on his body, emitting an unpleasant stench. These were impurities in his body. After Li Yi cleaned the dirt, he immediately felt refreshed. It was as if some invisible shackles had been opened in his body. His stagnant mana actually increased slightly at this time, which made Li Yi feel Indescribable joy.
Li Yi planted all the five remaining fruit stones into the space of the small tripod, and then used cyan liquid to water them. Half a month later, one of the fruit stones sprouted, and a fruit tree seedling grew. But no matter how he watered the remaining fruit cores with green liquid, there was no sign of germination. Li Yi had to give them up. Anyway, as long as one fruit tree can sprout and grow pith-washing fruits, it will be fine.
After that, Li Yi used the cyan liquid to water the fruit trees every seven days. The fruit trees were growing rapidly, but it would take some time before they would bear fruit. Li Yi used the remaining cyan liquid to water the spiritual medicines needed for the Soul-Enriching Pill. Although the soul-gathering grass grew slowly with the cyan liquid, the light gray mist on it became thicker and thicker. Whenever Li Yi approached the grass, his soul seemed to leave his body and float towards the grass. As the grass got older, this feeling became stronger. After five hundred years, he would no longer cultivate the soul-gathering grass.
While cultivating spiritual medicines, he was also refining pills. With the help of the alchemy jade slips left by the pill maniac Han Fengyun and the practice of many spiritual medicines, Li Yi's alchemy skills were making great progress. After wasting more than twenty furnaces of spiritual medicines, Li Yi's alchemy level finally broke through the first-grade alchemist and reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.
Looking at the nine fragrant pills in the alchemy furnace, Li Yi laughed happily. These nine pills were the Huiling Pills he had refined, and three of them were medium-quality pills. Li Yi hurriedly took out a pill and swallowed it. The mana that was originally lost due to alchemy was quickly restored with the refining of the Huiling Pill.
