Chapter Ninety-Four: Alchemy
Chapter Ninety-Four
Alchemy is a science, especially refining the elixir, it is particularly difficult, Li Changding has been at the fifth level for so long, and now he is already at the fifth order, but he has not been able to practice a single elixir. Otherwise, the pill he promised Gu Yan wouldn't have been fulfilled until now.
Underneath the elixir are some ordinary pills that are useful for cultivators, such as Qi Refining Pill, Pei Yuan Pill, Condensing Pill, and so on.
And the first thing to wait for is the pill that Li Changding wants to refine today, which is used by ordinary people to treat their illnesses and injuries.
If this elixir is in the main world, according to Li Changding's level, it can be easily refined, and it is just a bunch of them.
However, this is not the main world, not only Li Changding's cultivation has been suppressed, but the Dan Furnace is still a defective product that he hastily refined, and he can't use supernatural mana to refine the Dan. Under all kinds of constraints, even at Li Changding's level, it is also difficult to refine this ordinary elixir.
Li Changding set up the firewood, put it at the bottom of the Dan furnace, dried the Dan furnace, and then he instructed Ji Mingsheng to use a wooden barrel to bring clear spring water from the pool on the side and pour it into the Dan furnace.
This spring water contains aura, which is drunk by ordinary people every day, and can also prolong life, which is beneficial to the body, and is best used for alchemy.
"Stop!" Li Changding suddenly shouted.
Ji Mingsheng immediately stopped pouring water.
Li Changding turned back to Bai Yangzhen: "Danfang, do you remember?" ”
"The student remembers."
"This time the medicinal materials are enough for us to refine 10,000 pills, this is the first furnace, 1,000 pills, at this time it is most appropriate to pour five buckets and four liters of spring water, and then add water once when the smoke rises, three buckets and three liters, add water once when the white mist becomes thicker, four buckets and four liters, add water again when you smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, two buckets and three liters of water, do you remember?" Li Changding opened his mouth to teach.
"The students remembered."
"Hmm." Li Changding nodded, continued to command everyone to work, and from time to time explained some precautions and tips in the alchemy process to the Baiyang Zhenren beside him.
Bai Yang Zhenren paid full attention and kept them in mind one by one.
Li Changding commanded Ji Mingsheng and the others to fan the fire, and at the same time, according to the predetermined order, poured in specific medicinal materials at some special times, and then poured a specified amount of spring water at a specific rate every once in a while, everything was very delicate and rigorous.
In this way, Li Changding commanded the group members to refine the pills, and after refining for a whole day, the medicinal juice in the Dan furnace rolled, and the Danxiang medicinal gas came out from the nine orifices of the Dan furnace, and the smoke was rising.
And Li Changding stepped on the Yu step, according to the gossip, pinching the seal in his hand, or fingers or palms, hitting the four walls of the Dan furnace at once, and the true qi was injected into the medicinal juice in the furnace through the Dan furnace fireplace.
Under Li Changding's pure and powerful true qi, in the Dan furnace, the medicinal juice was mixed and stirred, surging like an undercurrent like the sea, and the pure inner element contained in the true qi was integrated into the medicinal juice little by little, attracting a little natural aura.
While quickly hitting the Dan furnace, Li Changding taught the trick to the Baiyang Zhenren next to him. This is a set of martial arts that he has painstakingly created in the past month, called "Alchemist Hand", which has no other effect, that is, to integrate the alchemist's own abundant true yuan into the medicinal juice of the Dan furnace, and use it as a guide to gather the vitality of heaven and earth.
Dan, the spirit of heaven and earth, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon!
This is a sentence from the Taishang Dan Sutra. The outline leads to the core. It's about what an elixir is! Simply according to the proportion of medicinal materials, put into the Dan furnace, smelt with fire, and finally knead into Dan pills, only relying on the medicinal power of the medicinal materials themselves to play a role, that is not called Dan Medicine, that is called a pill.
It's like what Baohe pills, Liuwei Dihuang pills, fast-acting heart pills and so on. It's just an ordinary pill that heals with the medicinal power of the herb itself.
In the process of refining, there will be an inflow of spiritual energy, which will stir and interact with the medicinal materials, producing mysterious and unpredictable reactions. The change reaction between the medicinal herbs and the aura is the fundamental reason why the pill is different from the ordinary pill.
The reason why the Overworld Empire's attempt to mechanize batch refining pills failed was because the difficulty of controlling the changes in the effects of medicinal materials and aura could not be overcome.
The influence of machinery on the aura is too coarse, and alchemy, similar to chemistry, is an extremely delicate work, while the control of the human true qi primordial spirit is more nuanced and able to adapt to changes.
When one day the machinery produced by human beings can manipulate the aura of heaven and earth in a meticulous manner, it will not be far from refining pills in batches. However, Li Changding estimates that there will be a few more technological revolutions, let alone a few more technological revolutions.
A day later, the alchemy was completed, the furnace fire was extinguished, Li Changding opened the pill furnace and took out the pill, looked at the color, smelled the pill, and finally chose a pill to swallow in his stomach to feel the effect of the medicine, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, go on." ”
"Yes, Teacher." Everyone should say yes in unison, and then carry the water, tidy up the site, wipe the Dan furnace, place the medicinal materials, and all the actions are orderly.
"White Sun."
"The students are here."
"You can learn the alchemist passed down by the teacher."
"Back to the teacher, the students have already learned seven or eight points."
"Seven or eight points? That's pretty much it, this furnace of elixir will be refined by you. ”
"The students obeyed."
After Yun Ya and the others finished preparing, Li Changding asked Baiyang Zhenren to start alchemy, while he stood aside, observed and supervised, and if there were any mistakes, he could also correct them in time.
"I said, why didn't this alchemist you create attract heavenly punishment?" During the alchemy, Yun Ya was relatively free, so she secretly came to Li Changding's side and asked in a whisper.
"Alchemist is just a martial art, not an immortal art." Li Changding replied to Yun Ya while watching Bai Yang Zhenren use his true power and hit the four walls of the Dan furnace with his alchemy hand.
"Huh?"
"I guess that the reason why that superb spirit rune attracted such a big battle last time was mainly because it had the potential to derive an immortal cultivation system, even the most rudimentary and basic immortal cultivation system. So this time, I found another way, and although the alchemy hand I created can attract the aura of heaven and earth, in essence, it is martial arts, not the method of cultivating immortals. ”
"I don't really understand."
"Although the Jiuhua Mountain Talisman is only a superb spirit talisman, it can lead people into the realm of heaven and man, and since then they have stepped into the path of cultivating immortals. Alchemy hand is a martial art, although it also pays attention to the circulation of aura and the change of vitality, but it does not mention the secret of heaven and man, and it is impossible to enter the way of cultivating immortals with alchemy. ”
"I see, is the Heavenly Dao taboo only the method of cultivating immortals?" Yun Ya thought back to the difference between the previous time and this time, and nodded.
"So far, it seems to be so."
"The method of cultivating immortals is so terrifying?" Yun Ya was puzzled.
"In a way, for the dimensional world, this is indeed the case."
"Why?" Yun Ya looked at Li Changding curiously, since that conversation, her attitude towards Li Changding has been much better, if it was before, she would never ask like this.
"The Immortal Dao is the most selfish, the embezzlement of the vitality of heaven and earth belongs to itself, and the treasure of heaven and earth is only for himself, which is tantamount to a group of parasites for heaven and earth. Relatively speaking, the embezzlement of the aura of heaven and earth by a martial artist is far inferior to that of an immortal cultivator, if he cannot enter the realm of heaven and man, there is no essential difference between a warrior's absorption of the aura of heaven and earth and that of ordinary people. ”
"Moreover, the life span of a warrior is only 100 years old, if he can live to be seventy or eighty years old, he is already one of the longest-lived people, and many of those who are fierce and fierce will not even survive in the prime of life. Relatively speaking, although the lifespan of immortal cultivators is limited, they generally have a long lifespan, and there will always be various ways to prolong life. When it comes to the consumption and use of heaven and earth aura, heaven and earth treasures, the martial arts group can't catch up with the immortal cultivator group. ”
"But these parasites aren't useless! In some worlds, there are also immortal cultivators, aren't they also well managed? "As the team leader, Yun Ya has read a lot of information, so she naturally knows some special worlds.
"Who knows? Maybe it was because the Heavenly Dao strength and experience in this world were not enough to manage those immortal cultivators, so they simply forbade it. ”
"Is it forbidden? Hehe. ”
"Yes, it's forbidden."
After more than ten days, Li Changding and a few people were refining the pill in this deep mountain, and after Li Changding refined the first furnace of pill, he no longer made a move, but let Bai Yang Zhenren, Ji Mingsheng and others take turns to fight.
