Chapter 12: Alchemy

A few months later, Yan Han had a deeper understanding of the mental method, and under the tempering of his will, the Thousand Thousand Divine Phases could already overlap ten times!

Although Yan Han didn't know how powerful the Xuanjia technique was, the overlapping effect of the Thousand Thousand Divine Faces had already made him crazy with excitement. Not only does his speed increase several times faster than before each time he casts, but the duration can reach a terrifying half-burnt incense!

Once, Du Guang saw Yan Han fly into the house like a gust of wind, and mistakenly thought that he had bumped into a ghost.

Another spring had passed, and Sanqing Pavilion had nothing to do, and when he was bored in his spare time, Yan Han began to ponder using that Xiaoding alchemy.

Yan Han said to himself: "All fetuses are mortal fetuses, and you can enjoy Qingfu when you learn to practice gold and go home!"

Over the years, in the process of copying books in the Book Pavilion, Yan Han has become very proficient in recipes, and alchemy is even more handy for him, after all, these two types of classics have many similarities.

In Yan Han's house, there is a small ding, surrounded by many plant roots and leaves, and a lot of ore powder in porcelain jars. Yan Han smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said:

"Alchemy, it seems that I have mastered the essentials!"

Traditionally speaking, alchemy like Yanjingsu requires a variety of medicinal and mineral introductions to condense into a Dan core in the furnace ding, and the condensation of the Dan core has a decisive effect on the quality of the furnace pill, which really depends on luck. After that, for several days, dozens of days, or even years, the Dan Core slowly gathered the aura of heaven and earth in the furnace and slowly grew up, and there was an alchemist who stared at the furnace fire all day for twelve hours. The fire is mild, and the flame cannot be extinguished, let alone too strong. During this period, no herbs or minerals can be added, because doing so will greatly damage the purity of the elixir and will most likely become a waste product. In the whole process of alchemy, it is also necessary to put an end to frequent opening of the furnace for observation as much as possible, which they call qi preservation, otherwise it will cause the spiritual energy to leak out, thus affecting the development and growth of the medicinal pill.

Doesn't that sound harder than raising a child?

In fact, it is. In the Fang Immortal Continent, alchemy is notoriously difficult, and some high-grade pills even have to be cultivated for several years or even more than ten years, and a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources are used. The small sect didn't dare to refine high-grade pills at all.

However, Yan Han had to find another way. His alchemy method is completely different from that of others, he still puts something in every few days after he invests in medicine and mine, and this is a big taboo in Jingsu's opinion, because when the furnace lid is opened again, the aura will leak out, and if you put in sundries again, you will definitely destroy the previous condensed Dan core, and your previous efforts will be lost.

What Jing Su didn't know was that Yan Han knew the characteristics of various ingredients like a few treasures. He knows how to control and use the cold and warm properties of medicinal herbs and minerals to neutralize each other, so that when they are decomposed, burned, and vaporized, the impure material energy produced by them can be self-clarified, and the energy produced is as pure as the aura of heaven and earth.

Compared with conventional alchemy (stuffy pill method), Yan Han's alchemy method is more radical, bolder, and more effective.

Just imagine, so many medicinal herbs and minerals, the energy contained in them is far better than the faint aura of heaven and earth, if it is really as Yan Han assumed, let Lu Ding's appetite be fully opened, and eat without interruption, it is difficult to think about alchemy.

However, Yan Han's method is by no means as simple as imagined. Yan Han needs to refine some plant-specific solvents, and add them to it at the same time as the first time he invests in the medicinal induction, and use the solvent to protect the leakage of Dan nuclear aura. Yanhan not only has to strictly control the amount of materials, but also judge what kind of materials to continue to put in according to the state of the gasified substances inside the furnace. What's even more difficult is that Yan Han's alchemy method is much stricter than the stuffy pill method!

For each incense plant, Yan Han has to change the heat ten times to meet the gasification conditions and neutralization conditions of various substances. Sometimes ten changes are not enough, even dozens!

Yan Han initially controlled the fire by blowing the wind, and then introduced the fire talisman he created, but the control flexibility was still not enough, and in the end, Yan Han directly used his telekinesis to control the flames.

Mental power is usually unable to control physical objects, but the flame itself is not a physical object, and Yan Han realized the mechanism of fire control in the study of the fire talisman. Yan Han found that if the telekinesis was strong enough, it would pull the flames and freely strengthen and weaken, which was more flexible than bellows, charcoal, and spells, which could meet the needs of Yan Han's radical alchemy method.

However, telekinesis control fire requires strong spiritual power, but fortunately, Yan Han studied the talisman before him, and then he became obsessed with the telekinetic splitting method, which made his spiritual power far superior to ordinary people.

Therefore, with Yan Han's current strong spiritual power, he has long been familiar with the power of mind to control fire. It didn't take long for Yan Han to successfully synthesize the Green Single, which was unimaginable among the younger generation of disciples!

The goal of "Jindan" was achieved many years ago. Thinking that back then, when Yan Han synthesized the first golden pill, he found out that Jing Su was lying to him again. The so-called golden pill is nothing but the result of the reaction of some herbal essential oils and some minerals, where there is no gold.

Yan Jingsu is unreliable, it is not once or twice, Yan Han can only laugh, he knows that Jingsu's previous lies are also to get himself out of the pain of losing his father.

Even if alchemy can't be practiced with gold, Yan Han has already become obsessed with the complex and profound alchemy classics of Sanqing Pavilion.

On this day, Tian Tao, the owner of the Red Emperor Garden, was alchemy in the alchemy room when a person broke in at the door. He was dressed in a blue robe, spotless, and his thin and upright figure really felt like a fairy. His steps were so light that he didn't even make a sound.

Tian Tao still fanned the fire with a fan, and he didn't look up to know who it was.

"Lord Xiao is here, I don't know what's going on?"

The man laughed: "I didn't expect Brother Tian's state of mind to evolve a lot." "The person who came was Xiao Xiao, the hall master of the Danming Palace.

Tian Tao picked up a small stone slab, blocked part of the furnace mouth to control the fire, and then stood up.

"It seems that Hall Master Xiao is here prepared again this time. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Tian Tao, you are determined to lose this time! ”

Tian Tao's face changed slightly, "It seems that you have indeed put in a lot of effort over the years. ”

Xiao Xiao's demeanor inevitably had a hint of pride, "I will ask Lord Chu Guan to hold a Dan evaluation conference in advance, and then I will show this Dan and ask Senior Brother Tian to appreciate it." ”

"Hall Master Xiao, for so many years, you have not asked for Inner Dan cultivation, but you have worked so alchemy, is it just because of interest?

If so, the old man is willing to bow down, but the Red Emperor Garden always has something to eat, is it possible that this mouthful, the Lord of the Xiao Palace will also rob us?"

Xiao Xiao's expression suddenly turned cold. "If you want to continue to keep this job, it depends on your ability! I will not sympathize with the weak, and Zixiao Mountain will not raise waste people!"

Tian Tao sighed, stood up, his waist was sore, and he said with difficulty:

"It seems that this is what we will have to go through sooner or later.

Hall Master Xiao, can you give the old man ten days to prepare?"

After Xiao Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you mean, you still want to compete with me at the Dan Ping Conference?"

"The errands and responsibilities of the Red Emperor Garden are for the alchemy of Qianshan, if you don't dare to show your head at the Dan Evaluation Conference, then the Red Emperor Garden really has no value in existence. Tian is not talented, he may not win you, but it doesn't mean that other people in the back mountains can't either!"

Tian Tao's tone was a little resolute, he had been in the position of the director for too long, and he knew that he might not be able to protect himself at the Dan Ping Conference, but he couldn't lose his integrity. If he can save a little face for the Red Emperor Garden, Tian Tao is even willing to take the initiative to retire, and the position of the head of the garden will be the sage.

Xiao Xiao smiled contemptuously and said, "I hope Senior Brother Tian won't disappoint everyone!" After speaking, he waved his sleeves and floated away.

Tian Tao looked at Xiao Xiao's distant figure, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of sadness. He quickly organized an emergency meeting with the core figures of the Red Emperor Garden.

Tian Tao told everyone about the visit of the Lord of the Xiao Palace, and all the disciples of the Red Emperor Garden also realized the seriousness of the situation after listening to it.

The Red Emperor Garden itself is a dispensable existence in the eyes of the front mountain, the old master once mentioned the dissolution of the Red Emperor Garden, and later it was Chu Eyang, and the disciples who read in the Red Emperor Garden are mostly elderly, and it may be difficult to survive after the disbandment, so it was decided to let the Red Emperor Garden continue. But for so many years, the responsibilities of the Red Emperor Garden are very vague.

The Red Emperor Garden occasionally sends food to the front mountain, but the front mountain also has a fire; the Red Emperor Garden collects medicine to cure diseases, and basically the front mountain is not used, because the front mountain is a Nine Heavens Realm magician, and there are few who are weak and sick, and they are riddled with diseases; the Red Emperor Garden weaves cloth and tailors, and the disciples of the front mountain look down on it, and every year Chu Eyang sends people to Bixiao Palace to order disciple clothes; the Red Emperor Garden manages the Sanqing Pavilion, and the front mountain does not need it, because the books that the front mountain puts in the Sanqing Pavilion are basically books that are intentionally discarded.

Only alchemy is the reliance of the Red Emperor Garden, and it is also the value of its existence so far, but it is only a little value.

You must know that the pills for disciples to cultivate in Qianshan every year are consumed innumerable, and the demand for green pills is even more terrifying. When the disciples broke through the Nine Heavens Intermediate Realm such as the Heavenly Realm and the Heavenly Realm, the green pills they ate every day were like jelly beans, and the Green Pills that the Red Emperor Garden gave to Qianshan every month were only one or two!

In other words, the source of Zixiao Mountain's elixir almost always relies on external procurement. The only two alchemy institutions in Zixiao Mountain, whether it is the Red Emperor Garden or the Danming Palace, play a role in the consumption of pills in Zixiao Mountain, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

But Danming Hall will not feel ashamed, after all, people's main business is to cultivate high-level mage disciples, and alchemy is also a side business for them to entertain themselves.

However, it is such a side business, but it has already caught up with and surpassed the Red Emperor Garden, so what is the value of the existence of the Red Emperor Garden?

This is also the reason why the disciples of Qianshan are so contemptuous of the Red Emperor Garden and so disdainful.

In previous years, the disciples who did not practice well in the front mountain, the masters would spur them on, saying, "If you don't study hard and practice hard, I will throw you into the back mountain like waste!"

This kind of talk is particularly useful, and sometimes, when the masters say this, the younger disciples of the former mountain will even cry in fright.

In the eyes of the disciples of the front mountain, the disciples of the Red Emperor Garden in the back mountain are all moths and waste, and the disciples who are not diligent and hard-working and have no talent go to the place, just like a book without nutrition, to be thrown into the Sanqing Pavilion.

All of the above proves that if the Red Emperor Garden really loses at the Dan Review Conference, it will not only be a matter of Tian Tao's face, but also Chu Eyang, who has always advocated the preservation of the Red Emperor Garden, will also be embarrassed.

After all, the money of Zixiao Mountain is not blown by the wind, and the cost of maintaining dozens of people eating and drinking for nothing is not a joke.

At that time, it is unknown whether the Red Emperor Garden will continue to exist.

Tian Tao said that if they wanted the Red Emperor Garden to lose not too ugly, they had to make a desperate effort to practice Qingdan, and the preparation period was only ten days!

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.

Since the establishment of the Red Emperor Garden, in hundreds of years, no one has been able to refine Qingdan, let alone in just ten days.

At present, the offering hall of the Red Emperor Garden is still the high-grade green list refined by the meridian method of the previous Red Emperor Garden.

Tian Tao knew that there was little hope but he could only give it a try, and he finally decided that Yan Jingsu would assist him in building Qingdan within ten days.

"Owner, how sure are you?" asked Yan Jingsu.

Yan Jingsu was already sitting in the alchemy room with Tian Tao at this time.

Tian Tao replied after a long time:

"Ishei!

This furnace of elixir was put into the furnace three months ago, and so far, it is the least number of errors in our heat control.

There are still ten days to be released, and we can only bet on this furnace elixir. ”

Yan Jingsu closed his eyes and stopped talking, he quietly felt the state of the flames, while Tian Tao next to him used one of his fingers to continuously inject spiritual power into the center of the flames.

On this day, when Yan Han was cooking in the kitchen, Du Guang came in.

Du Guang looked around and saw that Yan Han was the only one, so he stepped forward and said:

"You kid, you're still hiding in the kitchen, do you know that something big has happened in the Red Emperor Garden?"

Yan Han saw Du Guang and was slightly happy: "What big thing can there be in the Red Emperor Garden, you are spreading rumors to lie to me again?"

Du Guang snorted and said, "You can just ask your Uncle Jingsu, but you'd better not go at the moment, they're busy!"

After hearing this, Yan Han asked in surprise, "What is the matter?"

Du Guang still wanted to sell Guanzi, but was glared at by Yan Han.

"A few days ago, the Xiao Hall Master of the Danming Hall came, and it is said that he has already practiced the Qingdan, and he will display it at the Dan Evaluation Conference in a few days, so he is anxious for all of us in the Red Emperor Garden. ”

"If he refines Qingdan, then we will congratulate him!"

Du Guangqi said: "Do you understand? Hall Master Xiao has been coveting our Nine Dragons Baoding for a long time, if Hall Master Xiao wins this Dan Evaluation Conference, it means that the alchemy of the people of their Danming Hall has surpassed us, and our Nine Dragons Treasure Ding is about to change hands!"

"I heard Uncle Ye say that Hall Master Xiao already has a White Jade Dragon Ding, which is already a spiritual product, why does he still want to get the Nine Dragon Dings of the Red Emperor Garden?" Yan Han asked.

Yan Han had seen Jiulong Ding, it was lying in the alchemy room in the back mountain, Yan Han was deeply shocked when he first saw this huge black monster, that kind of ancient and vigorous lines, as if it was not a product of this world.

It's a pity that the Kowloon Ding is an ornament.

According to Yan Jingsu, since the day he came to Zixiao Mountain, the Jiulong Ding has been idle, it is actually a waste Ding, which has been damaged a long time ago.

However, the reputation of the Nine Dragons Ding in the Fang Immortal Continent is very large, to what extent Yan Han does not know, but it is said that the older generation of alchemists have heard the name of the Nine Dragons Ding.

Du Guang glanced at him and said:

"Don't you know what insatiable greed is? Speaking of the meaning of the Nine Dragons Ding, can the white jade dragon tripod be compared?

Xiao Xiao has been particularly interested in alchemy in recent years.

I heard that Xiao Xiao's Inner Dan cultivation had reached a bottleneck and was stagnant, so he turned to the alchemy of the Outer Dan, wanting to use the magic of the pill to break through the limits of his ability.

In the past, every six months, Xiao Xiao must have visited our Red Emperor Garden to learn from the owner, but he was defeated. Up to now, he has refined Qingdan, and we are still at the level of high-grade green pills, if we can't refine Qingdan within ten days, the Red Emperor Garden will completely lose its value in Zixiao Mountain. Du Guang sighed again after speaking.

Du Guang's words aroused Yan Han's interest, and he asked, "Is the Pastoral Master sure that he can refine the Qingdan?"

"Who knows!

How can Qingdan be so easy to practice?

Now the owner of the garden and Senior Brother Jingsu have not walked out of the alchemy room for three days. ”

Yan Han thought to himself, no wonder Jingsu didn't ask him for help to collect medicine these days.

After Du Guang left, Yan Han quietly came to the alchemy room and found that the door of the alchemy room was closed, so he sneaked in through the crack in the window.

The two old men were sweating profusely, especially Tian Tao's pale face was faintly worried.

Because Yan Han was self-taught, he was proficient in medical skills, and at a glance, he knew that Tian Tao's spiritual power had been overdrawn and might not last long. Yanjingsu is better, because he is only responsible for observing the state of the fire, so he does not need to consume spiritual power.

After Yan Han went back, his mind was heavy, he felt that the most difficult moment of the Red Emperor Garden had come, he couldn't sit idly by, he decided to help the Red Emperor Garden, so Yan Han took out the small tripod and thought it again.

He knew that with his current level of alchemy, it was almost impossible to practice Qingdan in just seven days, but he could give it a try.

Thinking of this, Yan Han made up his mind.

He took out some of the green pills that he had refined some time ago, smashed them, put them in the Dan furnace, and then put some plant juice into them, and then began to heat them over a low fire, but the spiritual power of these materials was far from enough, so he immediately rushed to the bottom of the mountain to collect the materials he needed.

The moonlight at night was not bad, and it took Yan Han a whole night to rush back from the mountain, carrying a basket of herbs and rough stones behind him.

Yan Han passed by the alchemy room and found that the lights in the alchemy room were still bright, and the figures projected by Jing Su and Tian Tao were still clearly recognizable.

Yan Han paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards his hut.

In this way, day by day, on the eighth day after Xiao Xiao's visit to the Red Emperor Garden, the farmer fell ill.

The entire Red Emperor Garden became extremely anxious, and Yanjingsu was even more at a loss.

Yan Han had already expected this kind of unpleasant thing, he didn't go to visit Tian Tao, nor did he comfort Yan Jingsu, because he didn't want to be distracted, but concentrated on alchemy.

For several days, Yan Han had not slept either, he had consumed a full five baskets of herbs and raw stones, and his bedroom had already been discolored by the smoke released from the Dan furnace.

At this time, Yan Han's eyeballs were abrupt, the dark circles under his eyes continued to spread, and his face was dim. If someone broke in now, they would be shocked by the way he looked.

In the early morning of the tenth day, Yan Han opened the lid of the Dan furnace, and a green pill jumped in his eyes, and Yan Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In just seven days, he captured a green pill, if Tian Tao saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked by this genius!

Yan Han's alchemy method is called the accelerated alchemy method, which not only not only has to continuously pour a wide variety of medicinal materials and ores into the Dan furnace to accurately control the time of adding materials, but also consumes a lot of spiritual power of the alchemist to strictly control the fire.

This is completely different from Tian Tao and Yan Jingsu's alchemy methods.

Tian Tao's alchemy methods were almost all the stuffy pot methods usually used in the Fang Immortal Continent. The stuffy pot method is to first establish the Dan core, and then inside the furnace ding, relying on the accumulation of years, slowly absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and finally condense into Dan.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are famous families in the Fang Immortal Continent who have found another way to master a unique set of alchemy secret techniques.

The reason why Yan Han was able to develop an alchemy method that others could not do was because he understood the principle of refining, which was inseparable from his knowledge of recipes.

The aura of heaven and earth can be absorbed by the magician, condensed in the dantian, and the inner pill is born, while the herbs and minerals themselves have undergone a long-term accumulation of heaven and earth aura.

The function of Yan Han's alchemy method is to refine the spiritual power of herbs and raw stones with the corresponding formula, purify them, and then condense them into pills. This method is certainly much more effective than the stuffy pot method of the previous people.

The stuffy pot method, only in the birth period of the Dan core, the use of herbs and ores as the introduction of the generation of Danjing, for a long time in the later stage, is to rely on the furnace to absorb the space of thin aura.

This method is obviously extremely long.

Yan Han took out the Qingdan from the Dan furnace and put it in his arms, and looked at the sky before revealing a little light, and there was still an hour before the Dan Appraisal Conference. Yan Han suddenly came to a strong dilemma, after all, his mental power was exhausted, so Yan Han kicked his shoes and lay on the bed obliquely.

He hadn't slept for seven days and seven nights.

In the morning, the breeze was cool, Yan Jingsu gently lifted the lid of the furnace with a heavy heart, and saw that the metal plate in the furnace was a huge green pill, his expression was sour, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's really providence!"
