Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Realization of Alchemy
The two went all the way back to Situ Mansion, Ye Lingyu was in a good mood, the problem of money was finally settled, and now he just needed to wait patiently.
However, Ruo Ning looked a little sullen all the way, and the goblin who had always liked to make Ye Lingyu blush and heartbeat didn't know what was wrong, as if he had something on his mind, and he didn't say a word before returning to Situ Mansion.
Ye Lingyu didn't care too much, and said goodbye to Situ Mansion after returning to Situ Mansion, and went back to the back mountain alone.
When I returned to the back mountain, I found that the young master Mo who had not seen the end of the dragon had also returned, and I didn't know where he had gone to have a good time, his face was ruddy at the moment, and his spirit was good.
After the two said hello, Ye Lingyu put his energy into alchemy again.
He now has about ten materials left for the first grade, ten more for the second grade, and one for the third grade.
He pondered, the second-grade and third-grade ones must be useless, rather than wasting it, it is better to stay for the time being, and wait until when he can skillfully refine the first-grade pill.
Calm down, and continue to start with the Qi Returning Pill.
When refining the Hui Qi Pill this time, he vaguely felt something different. This difference is not manifested in the method of alchemy, but in the understanding of the elixir.
The last time I chatted with Nangong Shidie for a while, his understanding of alchemy has fundamentally changed.
He still remembers that there was a sentence in the book "The Decision of the Pill of Decay" - "The art of alchemy, the trace of finding the spirit, turning decay into magic".
He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now it seems that this "trace of soul seeking" refers to the spirituality of the elixir.
Elixir elixir, with a spirit can it be called a pill, if there is no spirit, it is just a pill.
A pill that is purely solidified by the liquid of medicine and an elixir with spirituality are two completely different things.
Ye Lingyu pondered while refining. Although everything has a spirit, this kind of thing cannot be seen or touched, and it is not as simple as words to control.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still found nothing. Just when he was at a loss, by chance, the pill that generated the Dan Spirit suddenly appeared in his mind.
If the elixir is really a living thing, then it should also have breath, its own meridians, blood and body......
Thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind. What if you build a meridian for an elixir, use your own spiritual power as a guide to build a circuit in it.
This idea is undoubtedly a sword, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is whimsical.
However, knowing that it was impossible, his hands naturally moved. The amplitude of every movement is just right, and every temperature manipulation is not different.
The essence extracted from the inner pill is used as the core, and the essence of other medicinal herbs gathers around.
The inner dan is originally owned by a spirit beast, and it is the essence of a spirit beast's cultivation, just like a human dantian, which is the most spiritual thing.
With this as the center, he no longer seems to be alchemy, but like building a life. The universe is desolate, everything comes into existence from nothing, from death to life, and in the void, there seems to be a throbbing coming, as if it is about to turn from the virtual to the real......
This time, Ye Lingyu's alchemy lasted for a long time, and he usually did not refine the pill with two teas at most, but this time he refined, and he sat for an hour.
Time passed little by little, and when a certain moment came, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a crisp sound came from the Dan furnace.
A full-colored Hui Qi Pill fell into the Purple Cloud Ding.
Ye Lingyu was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly poured out the Hui Qi Pill.
Looking closely, he found that the color and shape of the Huiqi Pill were all of the best grades, and the quality of this pill was far beyond Ye Lingyu's expectations.
In terms of quality alone, none of the pills he had refined before could compare to the one in his hand. This pill can be called perfect, if there is any fly in the ointment, it is that it has not generated a pill spirit.
However, this is not what Ye Lingyu needs to consider now, for him now, it is still too difficult to generate Dan Ling.
Although he had not generated a pill spirit, Ye Lingyu was not discouraged, because he felt that a new alchemy door had opened in front of him, and it was a scene he had never seen before.
He regrouped his mood, then summed up what he had learned, and when everything was summed up, he started working again.
I don't know if there is a difference in cognition, but when refining, everything seems to have become much smoother.
Every time you change the temperature, every time you change your technique, everything becomes natural and freehand. A moment later, there was another "jingle bell" in the Dan furnace, and the second Qi Returning Dan was formed.
It was as if he had suddenly opened his mind, refining one after another, and the Hui Qi Pills were refined one after another, and the quality was extremely high.
After some refining, the materials of the Qi Returning Pill were all consumed by him. However, what made him excited was that these refining attempts had all succeeded, and not a single one had failed.
Even if he was refining the Fire Spirit Pill before, he didn't have such a high success rate.
Judging from his current situation, as long as he refines another first-grade pill, he can be regarded as a first-grade alchemist.
But when I think about it...... His heart suddenly became heavy—he had no money.
The auction house will have to wait two more days for it to start, and he is now almost penniless.
Having no money to stump a hero is simply a painful experience. Seeing that he is only one step away from truly becoming an alchemist, he is unable to continue at this time. It's like when the battle is hot, and suddenly a basin of cold water falls from the sky......
His mind was spinning, thinking about possible methods, and he didn't want to waste these two days. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was nothing I could do. The only few Qi Returning Pills on his body are only first-class pills, and even if they are sold, they won't make much money. I endured it left and right, did I have to go to the goblin to borrow money in the end?
But at this time, he saw Mo Fei sleeping on a bluestone next to him. Then he tried to ask: "Mo Shao, do you have any money?"
He didn't hold out much hope when he asked this, thinking that Murphy should be poorer than him. He had borrowed money from Ye Lingyu a few times before, and in the past two days, I heard that he had gone to Flower Street again, and it was strange that he could have money on him.
Ye Lingyu just took advantage of the situation and asked casually, who would have thought that Mo Fei's ears stood up and jumped up.
"You don't have any money?" he asked.
Ye Lingyu said in his heart that there must be no money, otherwise I will ask you when I am full.
"Tell me when you run out of money!" The Mo Great Immortal slapped his chest arrogantly with withered grass on the corner of his mouth.
Did I tell you that it worked?Ye Lingyu said again in his heart, but asked in his mouth, "Do you have a way?"
"Okay, I'll help you get the money. He casually left a sentence and disappeared without a trace.
Ye Lingyu looked at his back as he left, and smiled bitterly. As the saying goes, go out by your brother, although this cheap brother has never been very reliable, but it is better than nothing.
Ye Lingyu actually didn't have much confidence in him, it was so easy to get the money. However, thinking that the guy would never joke about this kind of thing, he decided to wait patiently for a while.
Another hour had passed, and the sky had gradually begun to darken, and only then did Mo Fei run back from the bottom of the mountain, panting. As soon as he returned, he lay on his back on the ground, tired like a dead pig.
He casually threw a Qiankun ring to Ye Lingyu, Ye Lingyu took it, swept his mind inside, and his face was shocked.
There are 50,000 spirit crystals in the ring.
"You really got the money!" Ye Lingyu was surprised and delighted.
"Am I like a big talker? Just kidding, Lao Tzu has always been the same when he speaks. "Murphy is wearing a rough air.
"How did you get it?" Ye Lingyu couldn't help but ask.
Mo Fei laughed, casually took out a wine jar from the ring, and threw it to Ye Lingyu. There is a word "wind" written on the wine altar, which is the wine of Jianjiu Villa. Mo Fei showed off his face and said with a smile: "I found a tavern, chatted with their boss for a while, and after chatting well, I sold him two jars of wine, and the money was naturally available." The old guy swore to me that if there was any such good wine in the future, he would sell it to him, and he would buy it all at a high price. ”
"You sold him twenty-five thousand altars?"
"I'm not so dark, I only sold him 20,000, and he gave 10,000 more, wanting to have a relationship with me and inquire about the origin of this wine. I told him that I had made it home, and if there was any such thing in the future, I would continue to look for him, and the old fellow was so amused that he kept his mouth open for a long time. ”
Mo Fei said, leaning forward and backward with a smile, and Ye Lingyu's heart was also filled with a trace of joy.
With these 50,000 spirit crystals, there is no need to worry about the materials for alchemy in the past two days.
Waiting until the early morning of the next day, Ye Lingyu went to the medicinal herb shop again. I bought several kinds of medicinal materials, except for the materials of the "Fengxing Dan" that is one of the first products, all the others are two-grade medicinal materials.
As long as he can refine another first-grade pill, even if he officially becomes a first-grade pill master, he will also prove that the first-grade pill is no problem, and then he can start to attack the two-grade pill.
The large bags of medicinal materials were brought back to the back mountain, and they sat down cross-legged in a familiar place, and began the tedious alchemy process again.
There was not much difficulty in refining the Fengxing Pill, and after Ye Lingyu had failed twice at the beginning because he was not familiar with the medicinal properties, he could become a perfect pill.
The pills were refined one by one, and the medicinal materials of the Fengxing Pill were finally exhausted.
From now on, he can be regarded as a real first-grade alchemist.
After tidying up his mood a little, he went on to take out the materials for the second grade of the pill.
In addition to the Qingling Pill that he bought, this time he mainly bought the materials of Gu Yuan Dan.
Gu Yuan Dan can consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, assist people's cultivation, and when the cultivation is not high, Gu Yuan Dan has extraordinary effects. Ye Lingyu also had his own considerations when he chose this elixir.
After getting familiar with the Danfang twice, he began to refine it.
The refining of the second-grade pill is much more complicated than the first-grade pill.
The medicinal materials needed for a pint of pills are generally only a few, and at most only a dozen or so. However, to refine the second-grade pill, twenty or thirty medicinal materials are required. Although the material is only doubled, the difficulty is definitely more than doubled.
The way of alchemy, every time you go to a level, it is a new realm, which is not only a change in technique, but a new experience from cognition, which is an essential leap.
Some people can refine a first-grade pill, but they can't touch the threshold of a second-grade pill in their lifetime, no matter how skilled they are, as long as their cognition is not comprehensive enough, they will never want to climb up.
Alchemy is actually the same as cultivation, diligence can only occupy the second, and the first is a person's understanding.
Just like Ye Lingyu, at the beginning, he only understood the process of alchemy, so he could only reluctantly refine the fire spirit pill, but after Shi Die's ignition, all the first-grade pills seemed to be able to come easily, and he naturally became an alchemist of the first grade.
