Chapter 1298 Alchemy Sect
Elder Gongsun's high-pitched voice echoed in the valley, and the entire venue could be heard.
Everyone concentrated on the whole picture and recorded every word carefully.
For human cultivators, the method of alchemy is the foundation of cultivation and an indispensable help on the path to immortality. In the process of cultivating immortality, a cultivator has almost all kinds of spiritual pills that cannot be avoided. contact.
Even if it is Tianlinggen, after cultivating to Nascent Soul, you still need to use spiritual pills to further improve your cultivation realm.
Moreover, after transforming into spirits, the qualifications of immortal cultivators were shuffled and divided into three, six, and nine levels. As their realms improved, they became more and more dependent on spiritual elixirs.
Especially after advancing to the Tribulation Stage, the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth relies on one's own understanding, and another very important way is Tao Dan.
One of the necessary conditions for the Mahayana cultivators to ascend to the immortal world is to have a perfect understanding of a certain rule. Otherwise, ascending to the immortal world will face great risks, and there is a high probability that unexpected events will occur during the ascension process.
This is why the Jade Alchemist is so valued in the spiritual world.
Of course, the status of the Purple Alchemist is already extremely high, because no one knows whether the Purple Alchemist will one day go a step further and become a Jade Alchemist.
Especially top-notch purple alchemy masters like Elder Gongsun are rare.
The secrets of alchemy flowed out from the mouth of Elder Gongsun. They were obscure and mysterious, and Xiao Lin and others were fascinated by them.
After cultivators reach a high level, whether they are refining elixirs or refining weapons, they all understand the rules of heaven and earth. The so-called human power is limited, but the power of heaven and earth is unlimited.
The most important reason why true immortals can move mountains and seas and exert great power lies in their deep understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
The monks in the spiritual world still have the power of the rules of heaven and earth in their bodies, using this to display various powerful magical powers.
But true immortals in the immortal world are rumored to be able to directly drive the power of heaven and earth and display all kinds of incredible powers.
In the valley, mysteries surrounded me and lingered for a long time. Elder Gongsun kept talking for more than two hours before he stopped.
But the entire venue was still silent, and everyone had thoughtful expressions on their faces, as if they were digesting the secrets of alchemy they heard.
I don’t know how long it took before someone started to get up.
Xiao Lin sat cross-legged and memorized all the mysteries of alchemy taught by Elder Gongsun in his mind. With his attainments in alchemy, he could only understand a few or eight, and Xiao Lin also could not understand the parts that he had not yet understood. Keep it in your mind and digest it later.
After getting up, Xiao Lin found that Xue Lingshan had left first, so after thinking for a moment, he walked towards Youdan Tower.
Elder Gongsun's explanation of the mysteries of alchemy is only the first link. There is also a communication link later, which is also a link that Xiao Lin attaches great importance to. Most of the alchemy recipes he collected are fourth-level and fifth-level alchemy recipes. There are several types of sixth-level alchemy recipes. , but there are not many, and for the seventh-level elixir prescriptions, there are only two or three types purchased from trading houses, which are far from meeting Xiao Lin's alchemy needs.
After all, there are many types of elixirs in the world of immortality, and the corresponding elixirs are also diverse. Xiao Lin's spirit wood space can cultivate all elixirs, as long as there are elixir seedlings, so for him, the collected elixirs The more the better.
Xiao Lin quickly walked into the Youdan Tower and found that the entire hall was covered with jade pillars. Each jade pillar was wrapped with a cloud of spiritual light, and inside the mask was a jade pillar. Box, above the jade box is a jade bottle, and below is a spiritual elixir.
Beside the jade box is a note, which describes and introduces the elixir.
Moreover, it is also divided into different areas according to the different levels of the elixir.
From the third level elixir to the seventh level elixir.
Xiao Lin came to attend the ancient elixir conference and discovered a strange phenomenon. That is, the immortal cultivators who came to participate in the ancient elixir conference were all at the lowest level of the golden elixir stage. Those low-level human monks in the Qi refining stage and foundation building stage were only You can go to the market to buy elixir recipes and various elixirs as well as experience in refining elixirs.
For several important matters of the Gudan Conference, you are not eligible to participate.
Xiao Lin took a rough look at the third-level to fifth-level elixirs, and then headed straight for the sixth-level elixirs.
【The elixir of penetrating the meridian? 】The first sixth-level elixir that Xiao Lin saw. Xiao Lin had seen a list of this elixir in a trading house, but there was no finished elixir for sale.
This meridian-penetrating elixir can only be regarded as an ordinary elixir among the sixth-level elixirs. Once taken, it can not only increase the magic power of the immortal cultivator, but also penetrate the meridians of the immortal cultivator, improving the toughness and strength of the meridians.
The advantage is that it can not only improve your cultivation, but also strengthen your meridians.
The disadvantage is that the effect of improving cultivation is average, and the effect of strengthening meridians is far inferior to many body refining elixirs.
This kind of elixir can be regarded as a relatively mediocre elixir, relatively common.
Xiao Lin is now a monk in the late stage of Void Refining. This kind of elixir has little effect on improving his cultivation.
"Purple Qi Yuan Gathering Pill?"
Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and a purple elixir attracted his attention. Xiao Lin looked at the introduction next to him.
Purple Qi Yuan Gathering Pill is a sixth-level mid-grade elixir. The elixir contains a spirit gathering dust array. During the process of digesting the medicinal power, it can absorb the spiritual energy within a hundred feet around and enter the meridians, greatly improving the effect of the elixir. .
However, this spirit-gathering dust formation is a very common one among the alchemy formations. It is not very mysterious, and the effect is not obvious. It can increase the spiritual energy absorption of the spiritual elixir by 10%, which is already the highest level. .
"Does this fellow Taoist want to buy a sixth-level elixir?" At this time, a woman in her thirties came over and looked at Xiao Lin with a smile.
Xiao Lin suddenly showed a somewhat astonished expression when he saw the Little Alchemy Sect clothes on his body and the high-grade Purple Alchemist mark on his chest.
"Xiao Lin, I'm just walking around and getting to know each other." Xiao Lin replied with a smile.
"It turns out to be Elder Xiao. Lingshan mentioned you to me. I, Wenxuan, am also an alchemist in Xiaodan Mountain. Elder Gongsun is my mentor."
"It turns out to be Fairy Wen. I didn't expect Elder Gongsun to have a disciple like you. I'm ashamed to say that Xiao's attainments in alchemy are far inferior. I hope Fairy Wen can give me some advice when I have time."
"Elder Xiao is too flattering. I heard from Lingshan that Elder Xiao is also an alchemist. It's okay to have some exchanges with each other. As for giving advice, I am not worthy of it."
Speaking of this, Wen Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something and said with a smile: "This Purple Qi Yuan Gathering Pill is only of medium quality among the sixth-level spiritual pills. Elder Xiao is a late-stage cultivator of Void Refining. The effect of this kind of spiritual pill is It’s not obvious anymore, so let’s take a look at these elixirs.”
Saying that Wen Xuan made a gesture of invitation, Xiao Lin nodded and followed him towards the main hall.
Soon they came to several thick jade pillars. Wen Xuan pointed to one of the jade pillars and said, "This elixir is called [Purple Cold Rhyme Water Pill]"
"This Purple Cold Rhyme Water Pill contains pure cold spiritual energy, and it also incorporates the Five Elements Soul-fixing Formation into the spiritual pill. During the process of digestion and absorption, it can absorb hundreds of feet of spiritual energy around it and transform it into Injecting pure ice spiritual energy into oneself can increase the three-step effect of the elixir. Although it is not the top level among the sixth-level elixirs, it is still considered superior."
Xiao Lin looked at the purple elixir in front of him. Outside the purple aperture, there was actually a group of green cold flames flickering every few moments, making it appear to be extremely agile.
Xiao Lin also showed a look of surprise on his face. If he wanted to refine a elixir of this quality, he would need some luck, and the success rate was not high.
He looked at Wen Xuan in front of him with some surprise: "Isn't this Zihanyun Water Pill refined by Fairy Wen?"
When Wen Xuan heard this, a trace of blush appeared on her pretty face. It was obvious that just as Xiao Lin guessed, it was indeed made by her.
"Brother Xiao is laughing. This was also refined when Wen Xuan advanced to the top grade purple alchemy master. A total of ten pills were refined and seven pills were handed over to the sect. Three of them are being sold today."
It turned out that Xiao Lin was not surprised. In the sect, the alchemists relied on the sect's resources to refine elixirs, and most of the elixirs they refined had to be handed over to the sect.
Wenxuan handed over 70% and kept 30% for himself. This shows that Xiaodanshan is still very generous. In many sects, it is considered good for an alchemist to leave one or two achievements.
"As an alchemist, Elder Xiao also understands that the more single attributes of high-level elixirs, the better. Before the stage of transformation into gods, most of the elixirs we take as immortal cultivators are mixed and impure. The aura in the elixirs can Absorbing 50% to 60% is already considered a good spiritual elixir. After transforming into a spirit, the cultivator's spiritual roots melt and turn into fairy spiritual roots. The fairy spiritual roots can absorb spiritual energy of all attributes. Let's take a look at the spiritual elixir. The attribute requirements have suddenly been reduced to the extreme, so most fifth-level elixirs contain a variety of attributes, and the requirements for elixir attributes are also very low. As long as the elixir is old enough, it can basically be used to refine elixirs. "
Seeing Xiao Lin nodded, Wen Xuan continued: "However, after the advanced level of Void Refining, this situation has changed again. Due to the immortal roots, immortal cultivators can absorb elixirs of different attributes, but we immortal cultivators The exercises he practices basically focus on a certain attribute. For example, the exercises practiced by Wen Xuan focus on the water attribute. In this way, if he swallows elixirs with other attributes or elixirs with multiple attributes. Dan needs to be transformed during the absorption process, which reduces the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and wastes part of the medicinal power."
"So the sixth-level superior elixirs are generally single-attribute elixirs. Coupled with the power of formations, they can greatly enhance the cultivator's absorption of the elixir's spiritual energy, achieving twice the result with half the effort."
"Xiao has also studied a lot about formations, but he also understands that the formations carved into the alchemy process are quite different. Of course, what Xiao is talking about is not the principles of the formations, but the method of inscribing the formations. Craftsmanship.”
"Haha, Elder Xiao is indeed very accomplished in alchemy. He can understand the key to it at a glance. Indeed, the middle and low-level alchemy skills mainly focus on the refining process of the spiritual elixir, while the high-level elixir focuses on the refining process. The burning formation and the dual refining process, how to balance the two without being mutually exclusive, is the process of refining high-level elixirs."
After a pause, Wen Xuan continued: "Our Xiaodan Mountain actually divides the dual process of burning formations and refining into two schools, one is the Jing Dan School, and the other is the Dao Dan School."
"Oh? What is the Jing Dan Sect? What is the Dao Dan Sect?" Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression when he heard this. He has refined a lot of elixirs, but he has never heard of a sect. .
"It's normal that Elder Xiao has never heard of it. In the final analysis, this is what the many alchemists of our Xiaodan Mountain formed after countless years of summarization and based on the direction of emphasis. Elder Gongsun is the Dao Dan sect, and we Elder Zhuge from Xiaodan Mountain is from the Jingdan sect."
After finishing speaking, Wen Xuan began to explain the differences between the two factions to Xiao Lin.
It turns out that the so-called Jingdan sect and the Taoist sect are just the differences in emphasis in the process of refining the elixir. The Jingdan sect believes that the most important thing in refining the elixir is to refine the refining process to ensure that every step can be done to perfection. , only carving into the formation at the last level, to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then become a pill.
The Dao Dan Sect believes that refining elixirs is the same as cultivating immortals and refining the Tao. It is necessary to integrate formations into every process of elixir refining, so that the elixirs can absorb a large amount of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even absorb rules through the power of formations. Strength, in this way, the quality of Cheng Dan will be qualitatively improved.
In fact, the two factions have similar success rates in alchemy. Although the Jingdan faction went well in the early stage, it has a higher chance of failure in the final step of carving into the formation.
In the Taoist elixir sect, there is a possibility of failure in every process, but compared to the final level of the Jingdan sect, the probability of failure is much smaller, and once the elixir is completed, the quality of the elixir will be slightly higher. .
After Xiao Lin understood this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. In fact, he also encountered similar problems in the process of refining elixirs. High-level elixirs need to use the power of formations to absorb spiritual energy and preserve the aura of the elixir itself. , so the step of carving into the formation is essential.
However, Xiao Lin had been struggling for a long time whether to carve it in gradually during the refining process, or to carve it in at the critical moment when the elixir was finally completed.
But later he still chose the former. This does not mean that the Jingdan sect is inferior to the Daodan sect. In Xiao Lin's view, it is because his alchemy skills are insufficient. If he puts it to the last level to carve into the formation, the chance of failure is still very high. big.
Once it fails, the alchemy will fail, and the loss will undoubtedly be huge.
But if the success rate of engraving the formation can be ensured, it may not be impossible to adopt the method of the Jingdan school.
Through this debate between the Jing Dan Sect and the Dao Dan Sect, the further improvement of the Dan Dao craftsmanship was promoted. From this point of view, the name of Xiao Dan Mountain is indeed well-deserved.
Xiao Lin also became more and more determined to seek advice from those alchemy seniors.
Next, Xiao Lin naturally asked Fairy Wenxuan for advice on the Dao Dan sect. Since she was a disciple of Elder Gongsun, she naturally followed the path of the Dao Dan sect.
What surprised Xiao Lin was that Fairy Wenxuan showed no clumsiness in her request for advice. She talked about it in great detail, even about the things she encountered in the process of refining the elixir. Many questions were raised at the opportunity, and Xiao Lin was also able to come up with some solutions.
For a while, the two of them became more and more in tune with each other as they talked. In the end, they went directly to a secluded box to communicate.
