Chapter 160: Alchemy (1)
"Pills?" Although Tao Ziyi is proficient in pharmacology and has a very keen perception of herbal medicine, she does not know much about the importance of pills. After all, since she cultivated immortals, the pills she really took could be counted in a single slap. "That's right! The importance of the elixir to the monks is undeniable. Whether it is the improvement of the usual cultivation or the improvement of the rank, it is very important. For example, if you break through to the foundation building period, with the help of the elixir, your chances of success will increase a lot, which is why you can break through to the foundation building stage so quickly now. Moreover, the price of the pill is very expensive. As an alchemist who refines pills, he is even more respected. Therefore, learning alchemy in the body is also a foundation for standing in the world of cultivating immortals! Xiao Mingru said word by word, she said very carefully, she really wanted to teach her alchemy skills to Tao Ziyi. With Zhong Lirong's affirmation and attention, she also believes in Zhong Lirong's vision very much. In this way, she is also more patient with Tao Ziyi! Tao Ziyi didn't say anything, but she had a new understanding of the pill in her heart. Originally, although he knew the value of the elixir, it was only because of the exorcism pill provided for Liu Weihai at the beginning. And it was officially for this reason that she had the idea of wanting to grow herbs and alchemy by herself. However, when she first entered the cultivation of immortals, she had no connections at all, and the opportunities were even more pitiful. I've been suffering from no way. Now that Xiao Mingru has proposed the elixir, she is as smart as Tao Ziyi naturally thought of Xiao Mingru's intentions. So, needless to say, she believes that Xiao Mingru has already made her own decision. Sure enough, Xiao Mingru did not surprise Tao Ziyi, and said with a smile: "I have always wanted to find a disciple and teach him my alchemy, but before I can find it, the sect has been destroyed." Now, when we meet you, it can be regarded as our fate. I intend to teach you my alchemy skills, I don't know if you are willing, Ziyi! Xiao Mingru also has her intentions in doing this. If Tao Ziyi accepts her own teaching, then in other words, they are also a master-apprentice relationship, and Tao Ziyi and the Qingxu Sect will no longer have an unclear relationship, which can make Tao Ziyi have a certain connection with the Qingxu Sect! Tao Ziyi did not hesitate, because she was originally going to take on the responsibility of rebuilding the Qingxu Sect, but she was unwilling to be the sect master. Moreover, she also really wanted to learn alchemy, which was an opportunity for her, and she had no reason to refuse. Kneeling on the ground, Tao Ziyi kowtowed and said, "Ziyi is willing to learn alchemy!" Meet the Master! "This is Tao Ziyi's first official apprenticeship! Unlike Murong Diexiang and Xue Zijing, this is Tao Ziyi's worship from the heart! "Good! Good! Good! Xiao Mingru was very happy to help Tao Ziyi up. He said softly: "Now your cultivation is still low, when the situation outside is stable and the matter of purgatory has subsided, you want to return to Guyun Sect, you go back again, right now, you can practice here for the teacher with peace of mind and learn alchemy!" "Yes!" Tao Ziyi was very happy to accept it. She knew that learning alchemy could not be learned in a day or two. Moreover, it is really chaotic outside now, and his cultivation is still too low, as Xiao Mingru said. It's just that she has some doubts about Xiao Mingru's agreement to her return to Guyun Sect, what she doesn't understand is why Xiao Mingru is so reasonable and doesn't mean to force her to stay in the view of yin and yang. When she was suspicious, Xiao Mingru sighed faintly: "The view of yin and yang is just a temporary foothold for me. And learning alchemy is not only a good inheritance, but also requires a large number of medicinal materials for you to practice, and I don't have those conditions here. The Ancient Cloud Sect has been inherited for a long time, and when you return to the Ancient Cloud Sect, you can also get more cultivation resources and medicinal materials, which are very important to you. Just, don't forget, the responsibility on you! ”
Tao Ziyi suddenly nodded solemnly when she heard this.
In the next year, in addition to cultivating for four hours a day, Tao Ziyi spent almost all of the rest of her time learning alchemy with Xiao Mingru.
Xiao Mingru's alchemy room is in the Yin and Yang Temple, and Xiao Mingru's residence is very deep underground. This is because only here can there be earth fire to alchemy. The entire alchemy room has five ear chambers, and the area can be imagined. In one of the ear chambers was the low-grade medicinal herbs that Xiao Mingru had collected from all over the place. There is also an ear chamber for low-grade finished pills. The remaining three pieces are all alchemy rooms. And the difference between these three ear chambers is the grade of earth fire in them.
You must know that in addition to the grade of the herb, the year is important, as well as the spiritual power of the monk and the quality of the earth fire, which will directly affect the success rate and efficacy of the elixir.
"There are countless kinds of herbs in the immortal cultivation world today, and there are more than 10,000 kinds of herbs as far as the teacher knows. The pharmacology of each herb is different, but there are similarities. Yin and yang, fierce and soft, quick and slow, etc., are all characteristics of herbal medicine. You have to remember that the collocation of each Danfang must be very cautious, the so-called difference of a thousand miles, used for alchemy, can not be more accurate! ”
"When alchemy, you must be pure and calm, not impetuous, concentrate on every step, and control every step. The control of the heat is also very important, and you should first look at refining a furnace of Qi Condensing Pill for the master! "Qi Condensing Pill, an elixir taken in the early and middle stages of the Qi refining period. It is useless for the later stage, and it is also the most common one of the pills. Xiao Mingru asked Tao Ziyi to go to the ear chamber on the side and take out a few furnaces of herbs for refining the Qi Condensing Pill. This is also Xiao Mingru's intention to see how much Tao Ziyi knows about herbal medicine.
Coming to the door of the ear room, Tao Ziyi felt a faint forbidden fluctuation on the door. In advance, Xiao Mingru had already taught Tao Ziyi the technique of entering and exiting.
With both hands pinching the seal, twelve fingers were punched out, and a flash of inspiration flashed on the fingers, shooting into the forbidden. The water was rippling, and Tao Ziyi had already stepped into the ear chamber.
The transept is the size of two houses. There are six rows of wooden shelves inside, each with five layers, and the herbs are lined up very neatly, and it seems that someone often cleans and sorts them out.
For the perception of herbs, Tao Ziyi is very keen, and successfully found the six flavors of herbs in the Qi Condensing Dan Dan Formula. Turn around and go back to the alchemy room of the low-grade earth fire.
Seeing the share of herbs that Tao Ziyi brought and the varieties of herbs, Xiao Mingru was slightly stunned. As far as she knew, Tao Ziyi had never been exposed to alchemy and pills, let alone herbal medicines, could it be that Tao Ziyi had seen these in the Ancient Cloud Sect? What made her even more slightly surprised was that this share was very accurate, and the five furnace condensation pills were neither more nor less.
Seeing that Xiao Mingru was a little stunned, Tao Ziyi explained: "I also have a small medicine field in Guyun Sect, and I have also planted some low-grade pill herbs!" ”
Xiao Mingru nodded, but she was still a little surprised that Tao Ziyi was able to accurately grasp the quota of herbs.
"Manna grass, slightly bitter, with six leaves, is the main thing for refining the Qi Condensing Pill, its medicinal properties are soft, and it contains a lot of aura."
