【Chapter 0016】 Alchemy (Ask for Collection, Ask for Subscription!)
After the Lantern Festival, the entire Jiuzhou Old Street gradually became deserted, young people went out to work, go to school and work, and only the '386199' troops remained in the Old Street and nearby villages, which is also a microcosm of the vast countryside of the current Chinese Empire.
In order to make a living, the vast majority of young and middle-aged people in the rural areas go to work in the developed coastal areas, leaving only the old and the young to stay sick, and many villages are shrinking.
In recent years, although Jiuzhou Old Street has been developed for tourism and attracted many tourists, the low tourist base still cannot make the people of Jiuzhou Town profitable, and young and middle-aged people still need to go out to work to support their families.
In a few days, Ge Tao will also go to the Guixi Provincial General Hospital in Yongzhou for an internship, Rao is his current medical skills are better than the blue, but for the sake of the 'medical practitioner certificate', he still needs to act according to the rules.
The current Ge Tao is a cultivator of the 'first level of Qi cultivation', but he is not sure whether he can become a high-level cultivator who 'escapes from the heavens and the earth, and overturns the rivers and seas' in the future, and he has to follow the rules of this world in a low-key manner many times.
Perhaps, when Ge Tao grows to a certain extent, he can ignore some rules in this world and do what he wants!
But now Ge Tao and even the Ge family, in the face of the huge state apparatus, there is no room for resistance and choice.
In addition, waiting at home will not have cultivation resources falling out of thin air, Ge Tao still needs to go out more to take a walk and touch the opportunity, and then Hongchen refines his heart, only a strong mind can better control the powerful power.
Before leaving home and heading to Yongcheng, Ge Tao decided to use a few medicinal materials in his hand to try to refine the 'Pulp Cleansing Pill' to see if he had any alchemy talent?
According to the Dan prescription of 'Cleansing the Myelin Pill', refining this non-advanced mortal-level pill requires precious medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflori, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonatum polygonatum and Dendrobium with decades of medicinal effects, and its main medicine is a century-old wild ginseng!
Rao is the Ge family's hundred years of accumulation, coupled with the huge amount of money spent during this period of time to buy some medicinal materials from some related households, Ge Tao has only scraped together enough medicinal materials for the 'Washing Pill', and the difficulty of cultivation can be imagined!
…………
It was night, in the pharmacy in the backyard of the Ge family, the Ge family was waiting for the whole family, and Ge Tao burned incense to calm down and adjust his state after changing his clothes.
Tonight is really important to the Ge family, whether Ge Tao has 'alchemy talent' or not is related to whether the Ge family can embark on the road of cultivating immortals, so everyone is not nervous.
The reason why Ge Tao was able to enter the Tao was because of the 'Mountains and Rivers Five Elements Beads' to wash the marrow and cut the hair and refine the flesh, and if ordinary people want to cultivate the aura, the 'Washing the Marrow Pill' is one of the most reliable choices.
In the early hours of the morning, the yin energy slowly subsides, and the yang energy is born out of thin air, which is the time when the yin and yang are transformed and the vitality is vigorous, which is suitable for refining the 'marrow washing pill', an elixir that can nourish the body and strengthen the soul.
Compared with ordinary traditional Chinese medicine processing and decoction, the refining of elixir has almost strict requirements for time, environment, medicine and even flame, and also puts forward higher requirements for alchemists.
Ge Tao took out the medicine tripod, recited a mantra and pinched the trick, and injected several spiritual qi into the medicine tripod, only to see that the medicine tripod, which was originally only the size of a palm, was good in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was a foot square.
This medicine tripod is a magic weapon of the lower grade of the Yellow Order, and I didn't know how to fall into the tomb at the beginning, and finally the tomb robbers dug it up and sold it on the market, but it was cheaper for Ge Tao.
After the foundation is built, the monks who cultivate the 'true fire' in their bodies can use the 'true fire' to refine the pill refining weapon, and the monks who have cultivated to a higher level can use the fire of the leylines, the true fire of samadhi and other powerful flames, for Ge Tao, a rookie monk, he also needs to use external objects.
I saw Ge Tao take out a mouse-sized red stone, put it under the medicine pod, and hit the 'fire control trick', only to see that the red stone began to emit pale red flames, and it still felt hot from a few meters away.
The 'Red Flint', the 'semi-spiritual material' that appeared with the eruption of the volcano, is still a certain distance away from the real heaven and earth spiritual objects, but it also contains spiritual energy, which can be ignited under the urging of spiritual energy, emitting spiritual fire with amazing heat.
If it weren't for the few 'red flint stones' handed down by the ancestor of the Ge family, Ge Tao would not have been able to refine the pill, after all, this is a legendary immortal method, and it is impossible for a rookie in the qi training period to give birth to a spiritual fire out of thin air.
Ge Tao sat cross-legged on the futon less than one meter away from the medicine tripod, and when his divine sense sensed that the temperature in the medicine tripod had reached the standard, with a wave of his hand, He Shou Wu, who was already ready next to him, slowly fell into the medicine tripod and began to refine.
The family members watching outside the alchemy room saw Ge Tao's miraculous performance, and their mouths opened wide, but everyone tacitly did not make a sound.
Ge Tao had no distractions, and his divine sense not only paid close attention to the refining of medicinal materials, but also sensed the temperature of the 'red flint' and adjusted it in a timely manner.
After a while, He Shou Wu, which was the size of a fist, was refined into a medicinal liquid, and Ge Tao put in the purple lingzhi again, slightly increasing the strength of the flame.
In the next half hour, Ge Tao continued to invest the medicinal materials that had been prepared a long time ago, even the hundred-year-old wild ginseng with all the mustaches and hairs was no exception, and all of them were refined into medicinal liquid.
Refining the liquid medicine is just the most basic process, as long as there is divine consciousness and spiritual fire, a monk can complete it, but the next key processes such as the fusion of the liquid medicine, the condensing pill, and the chemical pill will have to test the real kung fu.
Ge Tao's divine consciousness is extremely powerful because of the 'Mountains and Rivers Five Elements Beads' cultivated in the sea of knowledge, and the divine consciousness of an ordinary 'Qi Cultivation Layer' monk can only be one foot away from his body, but Ge Tao has the ability to explore a square circle and has the talent to become an alchemist.
Of course, over the years, Ge Tao has been exercising his divine sense, consciously or unconsciously, and he is not handy at controlling it, at least it is like an arm.
In this way, Ge Tao refined the mortal-level elixir for the first time, and did not encounter too many difficulties, and successfully fused all the medicinal liquids and began to condense the pill!
Condensing pill is an extremely important process in the alchemy process, which requires the alchemist to use his divine sense to condense the liquid medicine into the prototype of the elixir, and cooperate with the change of the 'fire control technique' to speed up the evaporation and solidification of the liquid medicine, and finally the pill!
At this time, Ge Tao's powerful divine sense came in handy, he used it wholeheartedly, while condensing the pill, while controlling the change of the flame, the 9 pills in the medicine pod gradually took shape, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
With the success of the Ning Dan, the pill began to absorb the aura in the medicine pod, and a small aura vortex appeared out of thin air, if it weren't for Ge Tao who had already arranged a superb jade talisman 'Gathering Spirit Array', the aura in the air would not be able to support the process of turning the pill at all!
Beads of sweat appeared on Ge Tao's forehead, his divine sense and mana were on the verge of collapse, and he could get out of control at any time!
The 9 pills that had already been formed were flying wildly in the medicine pod, if it weren't for Ge Tao's efforts to control them with the power of his divine sense, they would have already been shattered, and the rapidly changing fire control technique had depleted the pitiful spiritual energy in Ge Tao's body, and he was faintly unable to control the flames of the 'Red Flint'!
At the last moment, the medicine tripod made a loud noise, the tripod lid flew to the side, and a black smoke came out, and the Ge family outside the alchemy room was startled, and they didn't know whether it was refined or not?
