Chapter Ninety-One: Preparation for Alchemy
In order to make an alchemy, there must be five conditions: fire, Dan furnace, Dan Fang, elixir, and Ning Dan Duel. Only when these five conditions are met can the elixir be refined
There are three kinds of fire, the simplest is the flame condensed by the monk himself through the fire control method, the advantage is that the flame is stable and can be condensed at any time, convenient and fast, one of the disadvantages is that the maximum temperature reached is not too high, and some elixirs that require ultra-high temperature cannot be refined, and the second is that the consumption rate of spiritual power is large and cannot last.
What Lin Tao learned was a fire control decision called "Ninety-Nine True Fire", the grade was as high as the peak of the ninth order, and it was the common fire control method of the Lin family, and this fire control decision had two realms, which could be explained by the two 'nine' characters in "Ninety-Nine True Fire". The first 'nine' means the number nine, which is the nine levels of condensed flames, which are the ninefold true fire, corresponding to the nine realms of cultivation, the first one only needs to be practiced in the spirit realm, and the ninth level can be practiced in the fairy spirit realm.
'Ninefold True Fire' can not only be used for alchemy, but even if it is used against enemies, it is also a powerful spell.
The second 'nine' does not refer to a specific number, but rather an approximate number, which means to collect multiple spiritual fires and condense them together to form a unique and powerful super spiritual fire.
The first layer of "Ninety-Nine True Fire" is still simple, as long as the cultivation is reached, it can be refined, but the second layer is very difficult, the reason why the second layer is difficult is not in the condensation, but in the collection of spiritual fire, as for what is spiritual fire, it will be explained below.
The second type of fire is earth fire, which is a kind of flame that leaks to the surface through the cracks in the earth due to a special change in the planet, the advantage is that the temperature that can be reached is very high, enough to deal with the vast majority of elixirs, and it can continue to provide more stable firepower, because of these two advantages, many forces have built the alchemy department in a place that can provide earth fire, such as the location of the Dantang of the Xuanling Sect, which was originally a volcanic crater, and was later transformed by the predecessors of the Xuanling Sect, which led to the fire of the earth and the establishment of the Dantang。
The disadvantage of the earth fire is that it is not as stable and convenient as the monk's fire, and the earth fire will also riot from time to time, which will have a great impact on alchemy, but the time of the riot generally does not last too long, plus for a long time, the Xuanling Sect has already summed up the riot period of the Dantang earth fire, as long as it is not during the earth fire riot, there will be no danger in alchemy.
The third type of fire is spiritual fire, and spiritual fire is divided into many kinds, heaven and earth spiritual fire, some special material burning fire, and even personal anger and lust can be counted as spiritual fire.
Spiritual Fire is a special flame that combines the advantages of monk's fire and earth fire: stable, ultra-high-temperature, ready to use, and able to provide firepower for a long time.
Because the complete spiritual fire has a certain spirituality and can independently absorb the spiritual energy in the Zhou Void, the monk only needs to provide a small amount of spiritual power to maintain it for a long time, which is enough for alchemy.
Many advantages make it the ideal flame for alchemists, and many alchemists have made possession of spiritual fire one of their lifelong goals.
The spiritual fire is good, but its rarity is also like his advantages, it is very rare, not to mention that an alchemist has it in his life, and he may not even see it.
However, even if they encounter the spiritual fire, they may not be able to refine and subdue it, and many monks are unable to resist its terrifying high temperature during the refining process, and as a result, they are burned alive.
And not all spiritual fires are suitable for alchemy, only spiritual fires with stable performance and no other toxic side effects can be used for alchemy, otherwise what will be refined is not a serious pill, but some poisonous pills with messy effects.
All kinds of factors have led to the fact that the spiritual fire is very rare, and even Lin Tao, who has the support of a big family background, was only awarded an ordinary heaven and earth spiritual fire after breaking through to the psychic realm and becoming a seven-rank alchemist, which shows how precious the spiritual fire is.
The Dan furnace is simply a vessel for holding the elixir, and the closer it is to the bottom of the furnace, the higher the temperature, which can be used to adjust the distance between the elixir and the bottom of the furnace so that the elixir can be extracted at the most suitable temperature.
Nie Yuntian had just missed the Dan furnace before, so he didn't start practicing the Dan for a long time, but now that he finally has it, the alchemy is only a matter of time.
Danfang is what kind of elixir is needed to refine a pill, and how much dosage of each elixir is used, and a complete elixir can be refined according to the Danfang, which can be said to be the soul of a pill.
Needless to say, elixir is a well-known problem.
As for the final condensing pill, it is absolutely to condense the active ingredients of the elixir mixed together into the elixir, without this last step, it is just a bunch of medicinal liquids mixed together, and there are no special effects of the elixir.
If the Dan Fang is the soul of a pill, then the Ning Dan is the finishing touch of the pill.
There are also good and bad Ning Dan Decisions, excellent Ning Dan Decisions can condense more pills, not only limited to ten full pills, even if it is a hundred or a thousand pills, but the efficacy of the pill will be greatly reduced, far less effective than ten pills.
The Ning Dan Decision that Lin Tao learned was called 'Ning Dan Decision', although the name sounded very tacky, but its grade was as high as the peak of the ninth order.
……
After almost getting ready, Nie Yuntian took out the Red Flame Furnace, and no matter how much he read, it was just a paper article, far less than practice.
Looking at this Dan furnace carefully, it looks like it is made of gold, shining with golden light, with a metal-like texture, and it feels the same, but its weight is very light, so light that Nie Yuntian doesn't feel any weight at all.
After viewing the normal method. Nie Yun Tiankai used the Divine Mind to check, and sure enough, the Divine Mind easily passed through the seemingly thick Dan Wall, allowing him to easily see everything in the Dan Furnace.
This is exactly one of the abilities necessary for the Dan Furnace, and the Divine Mind can be equivalent to another pair of eyes of the monk, only in this way can the alchemist clearly grasp the condition of the elixir in the Dan Furnace and make adjustments at any time.
Familiar with the structure of the Dan furnace, Nie Yuntian put it on the ground, and he also sat next to him, holding his hands together.
Suddenly, a small orange flame appeared in his hand, it was the first flame of the 'Ninefold True Fire', this flame burned very calmly, like the surface of the water, far from being as violent and destructive as the fireball technique, and only such a flame was more suitable for alchemy.
Slowly move the flame to the bottom of the Dan furnace, first warm the furnace, and let the Dan furnace heat evenly.
After a while, seeing that it was almost over, Nie Yuntian opened the Dan furnace and took out six first-order plants from the living grass pile next to him and put them in.
But before he could close the lid of the Dan furnace, with a "snort", the six first-order grasses turned into a sleepy coke, and then turned into a puff of black smoke and rose away.
“……”
Nie Yuntian was stunned for a moment, and then he was speechless, this was too bad for him, Jingran failed all of a sudden, although he didn't think that he could succeed once, but this failure was too fast, and there was no room for maneuver.
Looking at the black smoke that was gradually dissipating, it must have been that the flame was too large, causing the temperature to be too high, far exceeding the temperature of refining the first-order vitality grass, so it was scorched at once.
Touched the outer wall of the Dan furnace with his hand, and there was no burning feeling, Nie Yuntian was strange, and said:
"That's not enough, is it?"
The hand touch just now was not temporary, the refining method of the vitality grass has a description, and the temperature required to refine the first-order spiritual liquid can make the monks of the late stage of the Hui Spirit Realm feel a trace of heat, and this temperature is more than a hundred degrees according to the earth.
So he also touched it, wanting to try how high the temperature was, and he could adjust it after trying it out, but he didn't feel any heat when he touched it just now...... Scald?
At this time, Nie Yuntian remembered that he was an ordinary Hui Spirit Realm cultivator, and his body cultivation had reached the "Hundred Refining Body", let alone placed on the outer wall of the Dan Furnace, even if he was placed directly in the fireball, he might not be able to feel the heat.
Thinking of Nie Yuntian, he put his hand on the flame under the Dan furnace, and sure enough, he only felt a little warm.
Unable to make a temperature sensor with his hands, Nie Yuntian had to use other methods to halve the mana of the fire control duel.
When he was ready, he put six first-order vitality grasses into it again, but he still responded with a "snort" and black smoke wafting out.
Nie Yuntian was speechless, so he had to halve the output of spiritual power again, this time the vitality grass lasted for a while, but in the end it turned into a puff of black smoke.
“……”
Halved again, but this time after putting the vitality grass into it, there has been no movement for a long time, and Nie Yuntian knows that the temperature is low.
One-seventh, still not enough, one-sixth still not enough, until it increased to one-fifth of the spiritual power output, the first-order vitality grass began to melt.
Seeing this result, Nie Yuntian was very puzzled, he knew everything about Lin Tao's psychic realm before, Lin Tao also started alchemy in the late stage of the Hui Spiritual Realm, and the exercises he cultivated were also the same as the Tianyang True Sutra, and the fire control decision was also the same 'Ninety-Nine True Fire', the difference was that the number of body refining and spiritual veins and the fact that he was the son of fate, but these three points did not increase the quality of spiritual power, and it stands to reason that the same spiritual power output was generated. The temperature of the Ninefold True Fire should also be about the same, but why did he only need one-fifth of the spiritual power output to achieve the effect of Lin Tao's complete output.
After all, the two had been separated for too long, but he soon denied this speculation, the vitality grass had evolved to a perfect form, and it was impossible to evolve again, so the vitality grass should be the same.
Could it be the spell spiritual power? It must be, Nie Yuntian thought, and after thinking about it, he finally decided that the problem was still with the spiritual power.
There is another difference between him and Lin Tao, that is, Lin Tao has not cultivated the Qianling Heavenly Mantra, so he does not have the spiritual power of the spell.
But soon he was puzzled, he didn't use spell spiritual power, just ordinary spiritual power to cast a fire control duel?
I couldn't figure it out, Nie Yuntian had to attribute it to the combined effect of the Destiny Child's physique Qianling Heavenly Mantra, but he didn't expect him to hit it right: this is the correct solution!
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, Nie Yuntian didn't dig deeper, anyway, it's a good thing, the small output means that he can last for a long time, and the temperature that can be reached after increasing the output is also higher, and refining some elixirs that require high temperature will also be easy.
