Chapter 97 First experience of alchemy
Returning to the sect, Tianjian Peak, has been three days.
"I see that you have reached the ninety-fourth level of the Hundred Refining Body Technique, which is an unprecedented level."
"Although I didn't get the divine fish today, it's not your fault. This Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique is an exquisite method of orthodox physical cultivation. You can practice this method after you complete the Hundred Body Refining Technique."
"Physical training?" Wang Mu hesitated, "Are we still practicing the Shangxiao Qi Entrainment Technique?"
"The path of cultivation ultimately leads to the same goal through different paths. Above the Nascent Soul, the physical body and soul are indispensable, and there is no body method. You can practice as you see fit now, but the fact that you have reached such a high level in the Hundred Refining Body Art proves that you are He has an extremely outstanding talent in physical training in the early stage.”
"If you are distracted from practicing the Shangxiao Qi Entrainment Technique, your progress will be slowed down. It's up to you to choose."
"This mountain and sea body training technique allows you to cultivate the powerful power of mountains and seas. It is extremely domineering and powerful, and can improve your strength and physical strength. By then, you can practice one or two body training skills, and you will also have good combat power. .”
Wang Mu took the jade slip.
The orthodox techniques of the Sword Sect, such as the Shangxiao Qi-Inducing Technique, draw the pure Qi from heaven and earth into the body. It has the effect of tempering the body and improving the physical condition. The physical strength is definitely not weak.
However, the sect does not seem to have a special body-refining method.
This Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique sounds extraordinary.
"In the coming days, I need to retreat..." Yan Qingwu explained in a slow voice, "Two years from now, there will be a sword fighting competition for disciples of the Seven Meridians. You, the new disciples of this generation, will also have to participate. You are good at practicing. , I hope you can perform well by then, and if you are successful in practice, I will teach you other techniques."
"On weekdays, after the disciple protection period, you can go down the mountain to practice more, or team up with fellow disciples to explore the secret realms of the major caves in Huangtian Continent, or participate in some grand gatherings in the world of immortality, to gain experience and knowledge, and gain knowledge of cultivation. Great benefit…”
Yan Qingwu only said a few words and then disappeared.
Wang Mu walked into the bamboo house alone, thinking back on this trip of Linglong's love, he felt all kinds of emotions in his heart.
He had many thoughts on his mind.
"For now, let's practice hard..."
Finally, Wang Mu adjusted his breath and exhaled, and his mood gradually became peaceful.
"Today is the end of the month...this is the point of action...the yin and yang qi are not enough, so the spiritual orifice will be opened next month, so let's travel in the clouds."
In terms of practice.
The Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique can only be considered for cultivation after the Hundred Refining Body Refining Technique is completed.
Based on Wang Mu's experience, he still had to practice the Shangxiao Qi Entrainment Technique first, until he had fully mastered this pure immortality cultivation technique.
There are also two minor exercises.
"If you want to travel in the clouds, go to Danjian Peak."
Wang Mu spent his last action points this month.
[Yunyou: Danjian Peak (morning, Lihuo Palace, three days)]
"As for the wandering incident in the morning, let's go tomorrow."
After thinking about it, I lay down in the bamboo hut, meditated with my eyes closed, and first tried to practice the Shangxiao Qi Entrainment Technique and the two auxiliary exercises on my own.
Before using action points, get familiar with it. Although you may not be able to practice well in a short time, you should be able to practice faster after using action points.
Early third month.
After Wang Mu completed practicing the Great Yin Yang Joy Picture, he could go to Danjian Peak.
"Are you going to Lihuo Palace?" The disciple guarding the mountain looked at Wang Mu with some curiosity, "Lihuo Palace has recently experienced an explosion in the alchemy furnace, so there are no disciples coming in or out for the time being. If you want to go to Lihuo Palace to rent the alchemy furnace to learn alchemy, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer. It’s time.”
"The alchemy furnace exploded?" Wang Mu was stunned.
"Yes, Lihuo Palace is the place where I, Danjian Peak, specialize in refining elixirs. There are eighty-one alchemy furnaces of different qualities, as well as special ground fires for disciples to refining elixirs." The disciple guarding the mountain was in a fiery mood as he spoke. This matter seemed to make him very angry, "But recently, one of your new disciples is very strange in alchemy refining. As soon as he refines the elixir, the furnace will explode. The fire in Lihuo Palace is blazing, and several other furnaces have exploded, causing great commotion. reaction."
"This all happened last month. It was originally repaired at the beginning of this month, but it exploded again. It was still the same person."
"Master was very dissatisfied and punished him to clean up Lihuo Palace. Now he should be the only one in Lihuo Palace..."
Disciple Shoushan said helplessly, "Speaking of which, this disciple is very strange. He is extremely talented and possesses a rare physique. He was supposed to be the future rookie of our Danjian Peak, but for some reason, as soon as he refines the elixir, the furnace will explode."
"You know, when a newcomer learns alchemy, no matter how talented he is, as long as he follows the steps summarized by our master, the chance of the furnace blowing up is extremely small..."
"But he happened to blow up the furnace several times in a month. The only time he produced a pill was of extremely poor quality..."
"So Master asked someone from Yi Jian Peak to tell his fortune. However, Yi Jian Feng said that the disciple's luck was not suitable for this path and was not suitable for Dan Jian Peak. He suggested that he be sent to Yi Jian Peak to learn weapon refining. Master almost refused. Master Cheng from Yi Jian Peak started fighting..."
"..." Wang Mu.
"Who is this person?"
"His name is Luo Qifang."
Good guy, old acquaintance.
Luo Qifang worshiped Danjian Peak, but Wang Mu also remembered it.
He possesses the best fire spirit root and a special true flame physique. If it were Wang Mu himself, he would definitely choose Danjianfeng to learn alchemy.
What's more, it also fits the Lihuo Burning Sword Art of Danjian Peak very well.
Unexpectedly, it was a wandering incident related to an old acquaintance.
"This Luo Qifang and I are disciples who joined the sect together and have known each other before... I want to go to Lihuo Palace to chat with him."
Wang Mu smiled kindly and took out a rare herb picked from the sacred forest and handed it over, "This is an herb from the sacred forest outside my home. It is not a rare thing."
The disciple guarding the mountain's eyes lit up when he saw this. He patted Wang Mu on the shoulder and said boldly:
"Junior brother, you're welcome, go ahead! Go along the main road to the Fire Palace and pass by the first lane. Turn left and you'll find the first hall."
"I'll come to Danjian Peak often to play when I have nothing to do in the future!"
These herbs from the godswood forest are actually not that precious to the disciples of Danjian Peak.
But making friends, not knowing each other, and giving too expensive things all at once is not good either.
Just make some Taoist friends, chat and get acquainted with each other, and just send some random things.
Wang Mu wondered, if he keeps making friends like this, in a few years, will the entire sect become a good Taoist friend who can be loyal to Jin Lan?
All the way to Lihuo Palace.
The grandeur of this palace is even more exaggerated than that of Bailian Pavilion.
It looks like there is only one floor, but when you go inside, it is vast and vast, and the floors go downwards.
It's probably because of the ground fire.
Inside the spiral-shaped interior, there are pill furnaces of different shapes and sizes erected, presumably for refining different grades of pills.
At this moment, in a damaged corner of the hall, a man was seriously cleaning the dilapidated floors and walls, as well as pieces of debris.
It was Luo Qifang.
He cleaned very carefully and meticulously.
When the elixir furnace explodes, the most troublesome thing is to clean up the unformed elixir liquid inside. These elixir liquids, which are combined with various medicinal materials, are like different chemical elements, possessing complex energy and characteristics. Once it explodes, it must be cleaned up. Often very troublesome.
At this moment, Luo Qifang lit a fire and burned a black piece of asphalt on the ground, hoping to slowly melt it.
Probably because he was too focused, he didn't turn around until Wang Mu came near him.
Wang Mu thought to himself that with Luo Qifang's concentration and qualifications, it was really amazing that he could accomplish this.
After a while, the black lump gradually melted. Luo Qifang hurriedly waved his hand and used the cloth on the side to wipe the black lump quickly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Mu was slightly startled.
To control objects in the air, you need to supplement the skills of clear mind and sword forging, and cultivate your spiritual consciousness.
You need to reach the third level of sword control to practice normally.
When you practice to the first or second level, you can activate your spiritual power and control simple things through the air.
This is only the third month of entry, and many disciples have only learned one or two levels of the major skills, and may not have practiced the two major auxiliary skills.
Looking at Luo Qifang's behavior, he has already mastered the auxiliary skills.
The talent is truly outstanding.
"Hey, Brother Wang!"
Finally noticing Wang Mu, Luo Qifang immediately stood up in surprise, "Why are you here? Hey, I made you laugh..."
Wang Mu did smile, and then said:
"It's hard to clean this thing up."
"Yes." Luo Qifang sighed, "I thought I had a good talent for alchemy, but unexpectedly the furnaces exploded frequently. I obviously followed the same steps as other disciples, but for some reason... I am now being punished by my master. This thing…”
"These elixir residues are too sticky and can only be cleaned by roasting them with fierce fire to melt them. Fortunately, I have reached the fourth level of Qi training, and my body's spiritual power is still sufficient..."
"Is it difficult to make alchemy?" Wang Mu asked.
"I find it very difficult." Luo Qifang said helplessly, "The first thing is to familiarize yourself with pharmacology, which is quite simple for me. I just need to memorize it. Then it is to understand the elixir recipe, which is also quite simple. Formal alchemy, because There is a dedicated stove and ground fire. We only need to control the heat and then put in the medicinal materials in order..."
"The most difficult thing is to control the heat. Because of my special constitution, it is very easy to control it..."
"Generally speaking, our elixir refining is simpler than weapon refining."
"But every step I took was correct, but I don't know why the furnace exploded... The master said that I might not be in harmony with my luck in alchemy... Because in alchemy for beginners, even if every step is perfect, there is a certain probability that the furnace will explode. Just me It exploded several times.”
"So I feel so hard..."
Luo Qifang looked gloomy.
It sounds like it is indeed easier to refine pills than to refine weapons.
"Junior brother, you came here, do you also want to learn alchemy?" Luo Qifang just sighed, and immediately said with a smile, "Do you want me to teach you? Master said that it is easier to learn alchemy for beginners. Only those who have reached the immortal level The difficulty of refining a spiritual elixir is not at all easier than refining a weapon. The flames, elixir furnaces, and various controls required are extremely advanced."
"Ah?" Wang Mu thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm interested in alchemy, but I haven't practiced yet and I don't have any spiritual power in my body. Can I still make alchemy?"
"You haven't practiced yet?" Luo Qifang was stunned for a long time.
It’s been three months since I joined the sect and I haven’t practiced yet.
Brother Wang has no spiritual roots, so the road to cultivating immortality is indeed extremely difficult and dangerous!
Thinking of this, Luo Qifang looked heavy.
"Okay." Luo Qifang thought for a while, "It's very easy to learn alchemy for beginners. The main thing is that there are ready-made alchemy furnaces and earth fires from Lihuo Palace. We only need to control the heat of the earth fire and add the medicinal materials in order. Wait for this Once you become more proficient, you can use your own alchemy furnace and use magic to make fire to refine the elixir."
With that said, Luo Qifang led Wang Mu to a small alchemy furnace.
This alchemy furnace is very small, it feels like it is only the size of a pressure cooker.
"This is a small purple gas furnace, specialized in refining middle and low-grade elixirs. For us, most of them are used to refine low-grade elixirs."
"Well, Brother Wang, if you haven't practiced yet, then refine a furnace of Qi Condensing Pills. This kind of pill has pure spiritual energy. After taking it, it can accelerate the absorption of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth..."
"Next is the pill recipe. The Qi Condensing Pill only requires five medicinal ingredients. After memorizing it, you can exchange it for spiritual stones in the medicine cabinet on the side."
"Then comes the order of placement and the controlled fire. At the beginning, you need to put in the Qixingen, which is the medicine guide. It is melted to a certain extent by the fire. We just use our spiritual sense to perceive it, and then put in two pieces of Lingxiang leaves, and use Use medium fire to mix it with medicine, then add water orchid, and fuse it with it to form an elixir..."
Luo Qifang explained step by step in detail, "The Five Elements attributes between these medicinal materials have a great impact on the elixir. Therefore, the order must not be confused, otherwise it may be refined into a useless elixir, which will seriously affect the elixir." Fryer."
"Normally, the medicinal materials required for a Qi Condensing Pill require about two spirit stones."
"In order to create a pill, if there are no mistakes in the entire control, all aspects are perfectly controlled, and the materials and heat are used to the extreme, according to Master, a maximum of five Qi Condensing Pills can be produced. If there are fewer mistakes, there may be two If there are three pills, there will be a lot of mistakes, and it may be at most one pill, or it may become a useless pill."
"In addition, because the medicinal materials will change when they are fused, there is a very small chance that the furnace will explode even if there is no mistake."
"Generally speaking, the fewer mistakes there are, the less likely the furnace will explode."
"But even Master, an alchemist, I heard from other senior brothers that the furnace occasionally explodes once or twice a year..."
Wang Mu nodded, it did not sound difficult.
"A Qi-Condensing Pill is normally worth one spirit stone. If it is a top-grade Qi-Condensing Pill, it is worth two spirit stones. If it is a defective product, it may not even be worth one spirit stone. But the top-grade Qi-Condensing Pill thinks It would be too difficult to practice it.”
"It needs to be perfect in all aspects. Among ten furnaces, if you are lucky, there is a chance that one or two will come out."
Alchemy is indeed a huge profit!
Wang Mu thought.
One Qi Condensing Pill medicinal material and two spirit stones.
For one furnace, take a value that is lower than the normal value, maybe two. Then you can sell two spiritual stones and get your money back.
If you are more proficient and produce four or five pieces in one furnace, that is a profit of two to three hundred percent...
Regardless of renting the alchemy furnace and the spiritual stone of the earth fire, he still made a profit.
If you had better luck and got the best Qi Condensing Pill, it would be even more profitable.
Of course, this is limited to those with a little talent for alchemy.
If you don't have talent and can't increase your proficiency, you will end up with a lot of useless elixirs every day, and you will definitely lose money to your grandma's family.
If you are as lucky as Brother Luo and the furnace explodes every day, then it is not a loss, it is a loss.
Of course, the price of elixirs fluctuates.
If every alchemist refines Qi Condensing Pills every day, there are too many of them, and Danjianfeng will regulate the price.
Therefore, only novice alchemists will refine the Qi Condensing Pill. It is used to improve the level of alchemy and at the same time earn spiritual stones for daily practice.
Moreover, it takes beginners two or three hours to make a furnace of Qi Condensing Pills. For immortal cultivators, it takes two or three hours to refine the pills a day, and their cultivation level is also easily reduced.
The choice between them is up to you.
"How about it, Brother Wang, do you want to give it a try?" Luo Qifang looked at Wang Mu with interest, "Alchemy is basically a must-learn for every immortal cultivator. In the words of our master, you don't have to be good at it, but you can't be perfect. don't know."
"Then, let me give it a try?" Wang Mu said.
