Volume 2 The Beginner's Path Chapter 22 Alchemy (1)
......
Cultivation is difficult, as difficult as ants gnawing on elephants.
After Bai Yujing was happy, he thought about it and began to feel sad again. Five boxes of big pills, fifteen pills are consumed, and I don't know how many resources have been spent, it must be distressing and angry to say it.
"It's really not greedy enough..."Bai Yujing muttered in his heart. He had just carefully checked the remaining bottles and boxes in the storage ring, and wondered if he could find Bao Dan again, but it was in vain.
Bai Yujing turned around and walked to the attic, where there was clear spring water, ready to be cleaned. This was arranged for the alchemist Keqing to be used by the alchemist.
In fact, the pavilion where Bai Yujing lives also has an alchemy room, but it is not as good as Sun Lao's, the alchemy room hides a formation, and activating the formation can play a good role in gathering spirit in alchemy, but Bai Yujing does not have a spirit stone. And Sun Lao only gave medicinal materials, not spirit stones, just to let Bai Yujing exercise his alchemy level more.
After a while, Bai Yujing came out of the shower and returned to the room, at this time it was not dawn, so he lay down and rested with peace of mind, tomorrow he still has to go to alchemy again, otherwise with his current condition, I am afraid it will be difficult to cultivate.
Perhaps, if this innate exercise falls into the hands of nobles, it will definitely be able to exert infinite power, but time, life, and fate.
After a night.
When Bai Yujing woke up, it was already broad daylight. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man in a splendid sail coat sitting in the pavilion of the courtyard, about fifteen years old.
The two looked at each other, and saw that the young man spoke first.
"You are the descendant disciple of Sun Lao, Bai Yujing, why do you look lazier than me, how did you learn alchemy?" the young man looked at Bai Yujing with strange eyes.
Yesterday evening, he was taught a good lesson by Yan Lieyang, others were avoiding Yan Lieyang, but he could only go head-on, no why, just because he was Yan Lieyang's own grandson!
Originally, yesterday he went out of Yanfu to the inner city to relax. However, he didn't expect to come back for dinner, but he was taught a lesson by his grandfather, saying that he was not self-motivated, and he couldn't even learn a pill, which was really embarrassing, and he still had the face to go out and walk around......
"Am I lazy? In addition to practicing the six arts every day, I practice martial arts, and it is wrong to relax..." He lowered his head, looking like he knew his mistake, but he kept muttering in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to say it, otherwise it would not be a lesson, and even his parents would not be able to help him.
Whether it is in the Yan Mansion or in the imperial capital, Yan Lieyang is notoriously short-tempered. If this old man doesn't say a wrong word, he may get involved with you.
The Yan Mansion is powerful, of course, there are many powerful forces outside the Yan Mansion, but everyone keeps their distance and peace, after all, there is still the royal family on the side.
"It's me, I don't know if you're it?" Bai Yujing had been immersed in cultivation and had not had any dealings with the people in the mansion.
In the past, he stayed in the courtyard of Yanxiao Pavilion every day to study, but later, after learning to cultivate, he was busy with how to cultivate all day long; after following Sun Lao to learn alchemy, he didn't go anywhere else, and sometimes stayed in Sun Lao's attic overnight, taking pills to cultivate under Sun Lao's guidance.
"Oh, I forgot to report myself, in Xia Yanyu. My grandfather asked me to bring you the medicinal herbs..."Yan Yu's hand flashed, and a storage ring appeared in his hand, and then as soon as he threw it, he was suspended in front of Bai Yujing.
"It's indeed the medicinal herb I want, then thank you..."Bai Yujing took the storage ring and checked it, and found that it was the medicinal herb he wanted.
"Hey, you haven't said how you learned alchemy, I also studied with Sun Lao for a while, but I didn't learn it..." Yan Yu was very curious, this guy got up so late, if it were me, he would have been carried out to bask in the sun. He was good, and he also learned alchemy.
This is the so-called "people are not visible when they are busy, and they are free to choose from." ”
"I can't tell, why don't you go with me to take a look, but you're not allowed to speak, only to look, how about it?" Bai Yujing thought about it, since the master had also handed over this Yan Yu, the master was an open-minded and generous person, and he didn't care that others learned his alchemy. Moreover, there are some things that he can't make sense, so he can only rely on comprehension.
"Okay, Sun Lao said the same thing at the beginning, but Sun Lao may have done too well, I didn't even see anything, and the elixir became..."
Yan Lieyang's temper is short-tempered, but he is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the master of the medicine pavilion.
Yan Yu also planned to start with Bai Yujing. I can't see how the master makes a move, so novice, isn't it much easier? As long as you learn how to practice Bai Yujing, won't it be easier to learn?
I have to say that Yan Yu's idea makes sense, after all, Sun Lao's method is already natural, it looks natural and simple, but it is actually not simple.
So, Bai Yujing and Yan Yu came to Sun Lao's Dan room.
With a wave of Bai Yujing's hand, a five-foot-high gossip furnace appeared on the ground, and the gossip furnace was simple and unremarkable, with only formation patterns. This gossip alchemy furnace is made of copper essence and cold iron as a whole. This was given to him by the master, and he only said that it was durable and stable, and there was no special name for the object.
Master Sun Lao is cultivating the art of Qi Huang, and refining the aura of cultivating immortals, and now he is about to enter the realm of the King of Medicine, and he himself is about to cross the catastrophe, so he will naturally not use mortal fire to refine the treasure pill.
In alchemy, you must first melt the medicinal materials, and you must use fire. No matter what kind of fire, as long as it can melt medicinal herbs.
Bai Yujing now has no infant fire, no Danhuo, and no vitality. So he can only ignite the fire to refine the medicine, as for whether it is okay to use true blood? Naturally, he can, but he is not so stupid!
Bai Yujing first took out four flame stones and ignited them, and after arranging them in the four directions of the Bagua Furnace, he carefully observed the temperature of the Bagua Furnace and waited until it reached a certain temperature. With a wave of his hand, the three plants of Coptis fell into the Dan furnace, and when the Coptis sapiens melted into juice like gold and iron, Bai Yujing waved his hand again, and the two branches of Azure White Herbs continued to be put into the Dan Furnace, and when the Azure White Melting was not fully melted, he continued to put in the Baise Flower, and as for the purple Danluo, phoenix tail, and evening primrose, they were all melted into juice, semi-melted or melted for three minutes, and put these medicinal materials into it one by one.
This cycle is repeated until all the medicinal materials are melted, and the furnace is the preliminary form of the medicinal liquid to be refined. At this time, the medicinal liquid is the concentrated medicinal soup that people often drink, but this medicinal soup does not reach the real refining medicine at all.
The next step is the purification of the liquid medicine, which is the poison of the medicine, which is not unreasonable, the medicinal properties come out, and the poison will also come out, and at this time it is necessary to remove the poison.
Just like the blood in the body, there are active blood components and septic blood components in the blood, and the vital blood spiritually nourishes the body, and the septic blood destroys the energy, and the septic blood damage destroys the functions of all parts of the body.
Bai Yujing's expression suddenly became serious at this time, staring at the liquid medicine in the furnace, his fingers were in the air at different positions in the liquid medicine twice in a row, the high temperature of the furnace body was abnormal, and the liquid medicine part of the furnace that was hit by the point began to rotate in the furnace under the traction of the mind, and under the high-temperature energy rolling in the medicine furnace, it became faster and faster, just like the yin and yang fish in the Taiji diagram, the liquid medicine was divided into two whirlpools.
Bai Yujing not only watched the situation of the medicinal liquid, but also paid attention to the temperature of the medicine furnace and the flame state of the flame stone, and there was no room for mistakes. Otherwise, it will be a fraction of a millimeter, and the elixir that has been refined will fail.
The two strands of liquid medicine in the furnace are like having spirituality at this time, and the liquid medicine is constantly separated into two strands, like oil and water separating each other. One is jet-black, the other is earthy yellow. The jet-black is the poison, and the earthy yellow is the medicine.
When the liquid medicine of the Dan furnace was divided into two halves, Bai Yujing's right hand continued to guide upwards, and the jet-black poison was led out of the Dan furnace by him, and was inserted into the stone jar he had already prepared, making a "bang" sound, and the fishy smell dispersed.
Bai Yujing did not have spiritual power to conduct mental traction, but he had the use of blood and qi like his heart, Bai Yujing ran the exercises, his hands were bewitching and red, and one by one he was like blood-red qi rolling and entering the Dan furnace according to the medicine pill method.
This technique was explored by Master Sun Lao after studying Bai Yujing's exercises.
After a quarter of an hour, Bai Yujing stopped and closed his eyes to recuperate. If you do this, it is basically the end of the alchemy, and as for Cheng Dan, then wait and see.
But he's confident he'll be better than last time.
