Although the principles of management, qi, and numbers are more obscure and elusive when applied to alchemy or astronomy, Chinese alchemists have tried to smelt copper, lead, and other metals into gold with their knowledge of the five elements of yin and yang and numbers, in order to achieve the goal of immortality. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 INFO is an important alchemy theory book, which begins with the following table:

Yang one, two, three, four, five

Water, fire, wood, gold, earth

Yin six, seven, eight, ninety

This table is consistent with the "river map" for the distribution of yin and yang, the five elements, and numbers (refer to the first part of this book), which shows that the principles of reason, qi, and numbers are closely related to alchemy. The failure of alchemy can certainly be attributed to the negligence of the alchemy process, but it can also be attributed to fate, and fate is the other side of the number. Therefore, a person must be destined to be destined to be an immortal in order to refine the golden pill, otherwise he will definitely fail.

The origin of alchemy

The invention of Chinese alchemy originated from the concept of immortality in ancient myths and legends. For example, Hou Yi got the medicine of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West, and Chang'e rushed to the Moon Palace after eating it secretly and became a fairy in the moon. We do not have an exact record of what pills were taken by the ancient people in order to live forever, but according to the "Legend of the Immortals" compiled by the Jin people, the unrefined minerals and plants they consumed included dansha, mica, jade, ochre, stone, pine nuts, cinnamon and other unrefined minerals and plants.

The technique of "Su Yan" has sprouted during the Warring States Period, and Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are also good immortals and immortals. Scholars such as Li Shaojun and Luan Da served in the imperial court, and Liu An was also a famous alchemy pill figure during the time of Emperor Wu, and his book "Huainanzi" once mentioned mercury, dansha, realgar and other medicines. Emperor Jing's alchemy was popular, and Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty also liked immortal thoughts and alchemy. In addition, Taoism is also related to alchemy, and Zhang Ling, the founder of Taoism, is also said to be proficient in this art.

There were two different traditions of alchemy before the Eastern Han Dynasty: one was devoted to finding the elixir of life; The second is to try to make gold. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two traditions converged into one, and the alchemists tasted the elixir of life, and the factors that contributed to the combination of the two traditions were actually related to the development of medicine, so many famous alchemists such as Ge Hong and Tao Hongjing were also great pharmacists. Ge Hong's contributions to alchemy and early chemistry are preserved in the Inner Chapter of Bao Puzi, which records many elixirs of life (such as Taiqing Dan and Jin Li) and their refining methods.

The above is a long-standing belief, and it also points out that mortals can also be reborn as immortals, and this transformation can be explained by the theory of the five elements of yin and yang

Rise and fall

The merit of heaven and earth

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was the prosperous era of the slave society, with hundreds of schools of thought contending, and production also reached its peak. Speaking of "Ding", this is an ancient cooking vessel, but also a ritual vessel to record meritorious deeds, legend has it that the Yellow Emperor made nine tripods, and the tripod has become a national treasure. Archaeological excavations of cultural relics, such as the famous Simu Wu Dafang Ding, show that bronze smelting (copper-tin alloy) and casting technology had reached a very high level at that time. The "Zhouli Examination Record" has already recorded the "six qi" rules with different alloy compositions and different properties.

Dingben is a utensil for cooking broth and food. But at this time, people hope that something else can be refined in Dingzhong. Legend has it that Qin Mugong's son-in-law Xiao Shi was alchemy in the palace, and he once refined the "Flying Snow Pill" for Qin Mugong's daughter to rub on her face (actually refined lead powder). He may be considered the first chemist. ---introduction

If you really want to hunt a certain fifth-order demonic beast, it is really very difficult.

Feng had been annoyed in his heart all afternoon, and the experience bar of hunting a dozen fourth-order demonic beasts did not move at all, "Depending on the situation, if you don't kill a fifth-order demonic beast, you won't be able to upgrade to a level." ”

"Your sister, count you ruthless." Feng complained in his heart, smashed his fists on the head of the Red Flame Wild Boar, and then grabbed the long fangs with both hands and frantically lifted its thousands of pounds of body into the air, and then slammed it down.

A huge crater appeared on the ground of the "Boom ......", the Red Flame Wild Boar rolled its eyes, its whole body kept twitching, watching the wind come up step by step, struggling frantically, trying to escape, but the wind was furious by its own system at this time, how could it be easily allowed to escape? One step out, the body was like a bullet fired, and with a "whoosh" sound, it appeared next to the Red Flame Boar in the next second.

The wind stepped on the head of the Red Flame Boar, grabbed the fangs with one hand, and suddenly pulled it out with force, the Red Flame Boar let out a painful wail, its eyes were about to burst out, and its snort was full of fiery red magma.

The fangs of the Red Flame Wild Boar are about half a meter long, it looks like a scimitar, it is very good to use it as a weapon, it shakes back and forth in the air a few times, the wind feels that there is still something missing, looking at the other fang, sneered, "Old pig, I'm sorry, don't have such long fangs in the next life, it's eye-catching." ”

With that, the wind pulled out another fang.

The Red Flame Boar was in great pain and finally hung up.

The built-in system made a prompt sound again, and the wind was too lazy to look at it, with a fang in one hand, scribbling in the air at will, smiling with satisfaction, and then frowning, and quickly rushed to the side, and began to attack the other monster like a bombardment.

The fangs of the Red Flame Boar are the hardest part of its body, and it has become very sharp over time, and it has a scorching magma aura when attacking, which can directly make the third-order demonic beast run away, and it doesn't even have the intention of fighting.

The wind was venting all afternoon, venting frantically, like a raging beast, and the monsters around it suffered a great sin.

Back in the cave, it was already dark. Black Reef and the others sat cross-legged in the cave, practicing qigong or full energy.

The wind didn't bother, sat at the entrance of the cave, took out an elixir from his arms, and threw it into his mouth.

The health pill is an indispensable elixir for cultivators, not only can improve cultivation, but the most important thing is that it can satisfy hunger and replenish the nutrients needed by the body.

After taking a pill, he was no longer hungry in his stomach (the puppet designed by Yinshu was greedy, and he still had to eat even though he was a robot), he fell into contemplation again, thinking about the upgrade, and said in his heart: "The fifth-order demonic beast must be killed, and the big black brother is leaving, it is best to get him a crystal nucleus before he leaves, after all, he owes him." ”
