Volume 1 Red City Chapter 18 Beginning of the refining of mang
When it was dawn, Qingliu slowly withdrew from his body and opened his eyes.
Now that he has entered the Jun Realm, the speed of his mangs is not slow, at least this night's mang, he faintly feels that the Jun Dan in his body has increased slightly, of course, this may also be just the illusion of Qingliu, at this time, the Jun Dan in the green fluid is still only the size of a needle's eye, almost undetectable.
Qingliu now has nothing to do in Qingmanlou, Qingmanlou is now almost facing the risk of closing, let alone dawn, I'm afraid that even if it is dusk today, whether Qingmanlou can reopen the door is a big problem.
Qingliu changed into clean clothes, went to the auction house and bought a mang-refining platform, ready to start learning mang-refining.
The identity of the refiner is extremely useful, if he can refine the mangdan, he will naturally have an extra bargaining chip to negotiate conditions with the major families, and with Qingliu's own strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with these major families, this self-knowledge, Qingliu still has it.
Mu Chen has been following Qingliu, like a loyal old servant, just following quietly, and even more silent in crowded places, these days Qingliu is used to it, and it is up to him.
Qingliu bought the refining mangtai, but did not return to Qingmanlou, but left the red city and walked towards the deep forest mountain range.
Refining Mangdan, there will often be a situation of explosive pills, and the movement may be great, and the people in Hongcheng have mixed eyes, and Qingliu still feels that he should be careful.
Walking all the way to the inner perimeter of the deep forest mountain range, Qingliu found a cave, and after making sure that the cave was safe, he took out a star stone from the mangring and embedded it in the rock wall, and the surroundings were suddenly bright.
Qingliu bowed to Mu Chen beside him and said, "Teacher, please also teach me how to refine mang." ”
There were only Mu Chen and Qingliu in the cave, Mu Chen's rickety body stood in place, received a salute from Qingliu, and then sat down on a rock in the cave, stretched out his dry arm and waved, signaling Qingliu to sit down as well.
Qingliu sat down, and Mu Chen slowly spoke: "Qingliu, if you want to learn to refine mangs, you must know why there is a saying about refining mangs." The first and most fundamental purpose of refining mangs is actually to make it faster, although as the saying goes, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, but the temptation of power is always irresistible, and in the face of power, how many people in this world can control themselves?"
Mu Chen sighed: "One of the main reasons why this Mangdan is so sought after is that it can make people more quickly, and the side effects are smaller than that of the simple Mangshi Mangdan, and even some top Mangdan, its side effects are negligible." ”
"After a long period of time, today's Mangdan, according to its different uses, was finally subdivided into three categories by the refining world: this first category, is based on the beast Mangdan, supplemented by the mang, the refining of the Mangdan, is called the broken pill by the refiner, the beast Mangdan, the mangqi is violent, and the mangqi is active and full of medicinal properties, neutralizing each other, and has great benefits for breaking the barriers to cultivation, so this Broken Dan is the most sought after by the world. Mu Chen's old eyes were cloudy, and he said slowly.
After a pause, I only heard him continue: "This second kind is mainly based on mangs, supplemented by mangshi, and the mangdan, which is called the medicine pill by the refiner, the mangqi in the mangshi is calm, and the mangqi in the mangshi is neutralized with each other, which can greatly improve the medicinal properties of mangdan, so this medicine pill is often used to heal injuries and continue life, and no one dares to say that he has no life and death, so most of them will prepare a few pills in case of accidents." ”
"And this third and most common one, is the beast mangdan, the original mangshi of the three kinds of mangshi, each of the three kinds, neutralized with each other, refined into the pill, because there is no special effect, so it is directly called mangdan, and you see everywhere without a special name mangdan, most of them are also like this. Mu Chen said.
"I didn't expect this Mangdan to have such a detailed division. Qingliu couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "If you weren't a man refiner, you naturally don't need to know this, but since you have embarked on this path of refining mang, you need to keep these things in mind." Although Mangdan is ordinary, it also has the effect of sustaining life and breaking through, but compared with the Pill Breaking Pill, the effect is very small, and more often Mangdan is generally used for Mangdan, so the world's demand for this Mangdan is also the largest. ”
"Before refining mangs, these common senses must also be told to you, otherwise, refining is also in vain. You must know that this mangdan is the easiest to refine, and the real difficulty is refining the pill and breaking the pill, when you can refine a pill, you can be regarded as entering the door of this mang, and only when you refine a broken pill, can you dare to say that you are a refiner. Mu Chen said slowly.
Qingliu nodded when he heard this, and memorized Mu Chen's words firmly.
"Take out the mangling platform, and then take some beast mangdangdangyao original mangshi, since you can condense mangxuan, let's start directly from refining mangdan. Mu Chen commanded.
Qingliu took out the items needed for refining mangs from the mangring ring, adjusted his breath, and prepared to start learning mang.
"Mangqi is a very mysterious thing, existing in different objects, there will be different characteristics, the mangqi in the beast mangdan, the mangqi in the mangqi is active and full of medicinal properties, the mangqi in the original mangshi is calm, as long as the proportion of the three mangqi is the same, it will neutralize each other and tend to be stable, now you are just getting started, you don't need to have a detailed understanding of the more esoteric mangqi characteristics, you only need to extract the same proportion of mangqi now, and you can mix them together. Mu Chen sat aside and explained.
Qingliu said that he sat on one side of the refining platform, and on the other side of the refining platform was the beast mangdan, mang, pill and original mangshi that he had obtained from the deep forest mountain range, one copy of each, neatly placed in front of Qingliu.
"First of all, extract the mangqi in the beast mangdan, gather it in front of you, gather the mangs into a spiral, and condense into a chick pill. Mu Chen said.
Qingliu thought about it, and began to slowly extract the mangqi in the beast mangdan, and slowly condensed it in front of him, when Qingliu had not yet gone to Luohuang City, he practiced hard to gather mang, which can be regarded as a small success, and now he gathers mang, it seems to be relaxed.
The mangqi in front of him had already gathered the size of a fist, and the beast Mangdan had also been extracted by Qingliu with all the mangqi, losing its original luster, and Mu Chen's sleeve robe waved, and it immediately dispersed into dust.
"Pressed into a chick, then dispersed into mangqi, and then pressed and dispersed. Mu Chen said.
As soon as his mind condensed, Qingliu began to slowly press the mangqi into a chick, this step is not difficult for Qingliu who has practiced Yanluo Mangzhang, after pressing the mangqi into a chick, Qingliu's mind is relaxed, and the mangqi gathers into a chick, after repeating it three times, Qingliu only feels that his head is slightly dizzy, but he still beats his spirit.
Mu Chen opened his mouth and explained: "This condensation of the young pill, the more times it is aggregated, the better the quality of the final mangdan, and the quality of the mangdan, mainly on this mangdan." ”
Seeing that Qingliu was pressed into a chick pill for the third time, Mu Chen continued: "Spread the chick pill, and then draw out the mangqi in the mango pill, and mix it with the mangqi of the beast mangdan, remember, how much mangqi you gather in the beast mangdan, how much mangqi will be attracted by the mango medicine." ”
Qingliu shook his drowsy head and began to lead the way.
How many wisps of mangqi there are in this beast mangdan, Qingliu still remembers, and draws the same amount of mangqi from the mangdan, Qingliu slowly wraps the mangqi of the beast mangdan.
As soon as the two kinds of mangqi merged, they immediately overflowed like boiling water.
"Stabilize your mind and stop the overflow of mangqi. Seeing this, Mu Chen hurriedly spoke.
Qingliu's mind condensed, and forcibly began to gather the two kinds of mangqi, with the oppression of Qingliu's mind, the two mangqi suddenly stopped overflowing, and began to slowly close.
Mu Chen taught: "Just like just now, press it into a chick pill, and then scatter and press again. ”
Qingliu's mind flowed, and he wanted to condense, but his head sank, and he only felt a strong sense of sleep, so he wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep.
As soon as the young pill was formed, Qingliu wanted to disperse and press again, but his eyes were dark, his spirit could not support it, and his mind was released.
The young pill in front of him was no longer oppressed by his thoughts, and suddenly his anger overflowed, and it exploded with a "bang" in an instant.
Qingliu was shocked in his heart, and his hands subconsciously blocked in front of him, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel the impact of mangqi.
Slowly putting his hand down, Qing Liu saw that there was a stone at the bottom of the refining platform in front of him, which was absorbing the overflowing mangqi at an extremely fast speed, and the mangqi went straight down, without causing any harm to Qingliu.
"This is a meteorite stone, which can quickly absorb the mangqi, and then release it slowly, and place it on the mangling platform so that it can absorb the mangqi of the explosive pill, which can also be regarded as a kind of protection for the mang. Mu Chen explained on the side.
When Qingliu heard this, he couldn't help but look at this meteorite carefully, and secretly wondered in his heart.
Mu Chen turned his head to Qingliu and said: "It's barely possible for you to gather mangs into a spiral, and it's not a big problem to condense the young pill, but your mind is not strong enough, and you can't hold on to it with only two mangqi, and you still need more practice." ”
Qingliu nodded yes, carefully comprehending his own thoughts, and felt that although this refining was not successful, his thoughts were improved.
With this discovery, Qingliu suddenly lifted his spirits and continued to refine mang.
"Bang" is another explosion, it is still the explosion when the two points of mango gas converge and condense into a chick, but this time it is the second time it explodes when it condenses into a chick, which is a small improvement compared to the first time.
Qingliu continued to work hard, and I don't know how many times he exploded during the period, and before he knew it, it was almost dusk.
In the cave, at this time, the green stream gathered into a chick pill again, and this time he insisted on gathering the mangqi of the original mango stone together, and it had been condensed into a chick pill twice.
At this time, the young pill in front of Qingliu was already slightly shiny, glowing, but the shape was irregular, and it was still in the shape of a dan.
"Continue to condense the mangqi, condense into a chick, and if you condense it again, it will be considered a mangdan, hold on. Mu Chen said to Qingliu on the side.
Qingliu was sweating profusely at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep, his eyes were staring at the mangqi that had just dispersed in front of him, and he drank: "Give me condensation." ”
As Qingliu's shouts landed, the mangqi in front of him also gathered violently, condensing into a thumb-sized mangdan, hanging in front of Qingliu.
Qingliu was relieved, sat on the ground with his ass, and gasped for breath.
Mu Chen stood up, and with a palm move, Mangdan suddenly flew towards his palm, and was pinched by him on his fingertips. Mu Chen looked at this mangdan, immediately threw it back to Qingliu, and said: "The first time I refined mang, the quality of sixty percent is barely qualified." ”
"Sixty percent?" Qingliu asked out loud, puzzled.
Mu Chen replied: "Sixty percent refers to the mixed mangqi contained in this mangdan, you have only condensed three times in each link, and it is already a fluke to have sixty percent." ”
"In the world of refining mangs, sixty percent is the minimum standard, and those that do not reach sixty percent are all waste pills and useless. Mu Chen smiled and said to Qingliu.
When Qingliu heard this, he couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "This condensation pill is okay the first time, but the difficulty of the second time is probably doubled, and the difficulty of the third time is doubled, if you want to condense it a few more times, how strong does it take?"
Mu Chen said with a smile: "I don't have high requirements for you, it's just five times per round, you can just start refining the mango three times, presumably five times is not too difficult for you." ”
Hearing Mu Chen's words, Qingliu's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he had eaten a fly, and muttered, "Five times, teacher, you want my life." ”
The difficulty of the second condensation pill is twice that of the first one, and the difficulty of this fifth condensation pill is sixteen times that of the first one, and the most difficult thing is that this sixteen times is a total of three rounds.
When Qingliu condensed three times, that is, four times the first time, he had already tried his best to meet the requirements, and now Mu Chen asked for five times of condensation, and he couldn't help but feel that this was a bit difficult for a strong man.
Mu Chen looked at Qingliu and asked, "Five times, do you think it's too much?"
When Qingliu heard this, he was stunned, and he didn't know whether to answer yes or no.
At this time, I heard Mu Chen say: "The way of refining mangs is the same as that of mangs, there is no shortcut, only practice makes perfect, you refine mangs more, the number of natural condensation of young pills will continue to increase, five times is just the minimum requirement for you now."
Qingliu shrugged his head, but still nodded and said, "Five times is five times, since this refining mango is practice makes perfect, then it seems that I still have to practice diligently." ”
After that, Qingliu sat on the mang-refining platform again and continued to start refining.
From dusk to midnight, Qingliu immersed himself in the refining of mang, did not rest for a moment, the things on the refining platform were used up and taken from the mangring, this time he came back from the deep forest mountain range he specially collected a lot of beast mangdanmangs medicine original mangshi, enough to stuff a full mang.
The consumption of the mind is very strange, when refining the mang, Qingliu will feel a strong sleepiness, but when Qingliu stops refining the mang, he will feel very sober, listen to Mu Chen, this is caused by the mind is not strong enough, if the mind is strong enough, don't say that it is refining the mang, the flow of the mind can make people fall into an illusion out of thin air, just like the second level of the trial when the wind died last time when the apprentice was accepted.
Instead of thinking about those esoteric questions, Qingliu concentrated on refining his mang, Mu Chen said that although these things were novel, they might still be too far away for him, and they were not accessible to him for the time being.
Although there are still only three times of condensing Mangdan, the situation of bursting Dan is getting less and less, and the number of Mangdans refined is also increasing, and dozens of brocade boxes have been loaded, these brocade boxes are also bought by Qingliu from the auction house, which are carved from the best Juyan rhino wood, which can well isolate the mangqi, so that the mangqi in Mangdan will not overflow.
Qingliu counted slightly, a total of twenty-three, after Mu Chen's identification, they were all sixty percent, which could only be regarded as a barely qualified Mangdan, but Qingliu was extremely satisfied with this, after all, these were the results of his hard work.
Mu Chen saw Qingliu's happy face, pursed his lips, and muttered, "Shame, I really haven't seen the world." ”
Qingliu didn't care, and put the brocade box containing Mangdan into the Manghuan and began to count the remaining materials. This inventory made Qingliu frightened.
His mang-ring-full beast mangdang's pill original mangshi, just this night's refining mang, has been consumed, and there is not much left.
Qingliu didn't know how many times he had exploded this night, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now that it is liquidated, it makes Qingliu feel distressed, after all, these materials are also hard to find, and it can be regarded as hard-won.
Mu Chen saw the pain on Qingliu's face, and couldn't help but comfort him: "It's okay, these are the lowest-level materials, if they are gone, they will be gone, and when you start to defeat those high-level materials one day, it will not be too late to hurt the flesh." ”
When Qingliu heard this, he glanced at Mu Chen vigorously. Mu Chen said that the high-grade materials that Qingliu now knows a little, and the Mangdan, which he is refining now, is not Junmangdan, after all, the beast Mangdan used is not from the Junjing Mangdan, and the original mangstone used is just an ordinary original mangstone instead of the red mang, and the mangsan medicine used is not a rare medicinal material.
The Mangdan refined from these materials is only for cultivators who quench their bones and practice their bodies, but their effect on the powerhouses of the Junjing is limited, after all, Qingliu has just started refining the Mangdan, so it is naturally impossible to practice with the Mangdan of the Junjing as soon as he comes up.
Putting away the remaining materials, Qingliu couldn't help but start to play the idea of Junjing Mangdan, although he has not yet begun to learn to refine the pill and break the pill, but refining this Mangdan is a little sure, just with these Mangdan, which is not even the Junjing Mangdan, Qingliu feels that the chips in his hand are still not enough.
If you want the major families in Hongcheng not to make a move on Qing Manlou, you must give enough benefits, otherwise you just drink to quench your thirst and can't solve the problem, and this Mangdan can just meet the interests of the major families, and it is definitely a powerful bargaining chip for Qingliu.
Out of the cave, Qingliu returned to Hongchengqing Manlou, and as soon as he entered the door, he happened to see Lou Yi.
Qingliu couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Lou Yi, why are you back again? Didn't Sister Hongniang let you go?"
Lou Yi was also surprised when he saw Qingliu, but immediately smiled and replied, "Heh... Lou Qi, aren't you coming back too? Sister Hongniang took us a lot, I... I just wanted to come back and see if I could help. ”
I didn't know about last night's affairs, Qingliu went to Luohuang City during this time, and these servants just thought that the matchmaker made him go out of the house, so everyone didn't know that Qingliu was a monarch.
"Help? There's something here that Sister Matchmaker wants you to do. Qingliu's heart flashed, he took out dozens of giant rhino wooden boxes from the mangring, took out a piece of brocade cloth and wrapped it and handed it to Lou Yi, and instructed: "You hand over these wooden boxes to the stewards of the major families in Hongcheng one by one, and say that in three days, I will set up a banquet in the Tai Pavilion in the building, and invite all the lords, this is a banquet, in addition to the Feng family, all the families with some power in Hongcheng will be invited, it is a matter of the survival of my Qing Manlou, please thank you." ”
Lou Yi's face was full of sadness after hearing this, but he still took the brocade cloth, hesitated slightly, and said: "The major stewards of the Red City are not small people like me who can see them, Lou Qi, aren't you embarrassed for me?"
Qingliu smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter if you see it or not, you bring the words and things, it's enough, those old foxes are so shrewd, they will come sooner or later." ”
