Chapter 729: Nine Transformations Vitality Pill

Compared to those Nine Transformations Vitality Pills that could greatly increase one's strength and some pills that cured all kinds of diseases, the attention of the Wuwei Daoist was focused on the refining of the Immortal Pill introduced at the end of this ancient book.

Although he himself was born as a god, he didn't know anything about the Dao at all, let alone any boundless magical powers. However, he is also a genius, with his own spirit of blind contemplation, he inadvertently invented gunpowder during alchemy, and used it in the palm thunder and fireworks, which made him able to fool him in front of the Khitan Emperor now.

However, aside from these, the Wuwei Daoist has never refined any decent pills, and even if he refines them, he doesn't dare to take them himself, and he will die on the spot after giving them to chickens and ducks first, so he doesn't dare to try it again. These few times, the Khitan Emperor has been urging him, intentionally or unintentionally, to hurry up and refine some elixir for him to eat. He could only use the only Anshen pill that his master taught him to fool Yelu Hongye.

When you eat this soothing pill, it can relax your nerves and become comfortable, but after taking too much, it will always produce toxins, cause coughing, and in severe cases, vomit blood. Because Wuwei Daoist people do not often develop these pills, the amount of Anshen Pill refined for the Khitan Emperor is a bit large these times, causing Yelu Hongye to cough more and more frequently, and occasionally he can be seen coughing with blood on his handkerchief. Wuwei Daoist was worried that the Khitan Emperor would doubt the authenticity of him, a master of Taoism, and that if he didn't do it well, he would lose his life, and he was worried about this matter. It's good now, God sent him the prescription of the elixir of immortality.

The alchemy methods recorded in this ancient book are very detailed, and even the occasions and equipment for alchemy have been introduced according to one another, roughly including making a house, setting up an altar, setting up a furnace, placing a tripod, grinding, burning sand, solidifying mud and other links.

The first is to make a house, which is the preliminary work in alchemy. The "house" referred to by the alchemist is the place required for alchemy, and the alchemy site should be spacious and tidy, clean and uninhabited. The equipment is Dan furnace, Yangcheng pot, iron pot, porcelain bowl, wooden basin, the tools used are stone mortar, stone pestle, small shovel, iron chisel, brick, charcoal, charcoal stove, tongs, cotton paper, gypsum, vinegar, soil, fine sand, fine sieve, small bamboo shovel, chopsticks, brown sweep, bristle brush, weighing, white paper, small bottles, water, etc., the layout should be organized, all operations must follow the rules, so that there will be no chaos and mistakes during alchemy, resulting in unnecessary losses.

Then there is the altar, which is a superstitious practice of ancient alchemists, which is actually used for alchemy timing.

Next is the An Furnace, which is to build a stove for the alchemy Danyang City pot and iron pot to control the temperature of the charcoal fire.

The second is to place the Ding, and the Dingding is actually to place the Yangcheng can.

Grinding is to crush the alchemy herbs with a stone mortar and grind them finely, so that the herbs play a role in chemical reaction during grinding.

Finally, the second step is to burn sand, and the sand is knotted, which is to pour the ground spiritual sand into the Yangcheng jar and place it on the charcoal stove for sintering, which the alchemist calls the fetus.

The last step is to solidify the mud, the solid mud has two functions, one is to seal, is to fill the gap between the Yangcheng jar and the porcelain bowl with salt mud, which plays a sealing role, and now it is changed to gypsum sealing. The second is to fill the gap between the Dan furnace and the Yangcheng tank, which plays the role of fixing the Yangcheng tank and heat insulation.

Even these basic alchemy methods, Wuwei Daoist, were not involved in Wuwei Daoist before, let alone him, and those alchemists who were keen on alchemy at that time didn't know the way of alchemy at all, but they were just blindly fooling around, resulting in the development of a lot of poisons.

Just like the little red pill that the Wuwei Taoist gave to the Khitan Emperor, in fact, the main ingredient of this pill is mercury sulfide, which is a very toxic compound. However, it is this little poisonous pill that obsesses countless people who want to live forever. Even after death, they were to be brought into the coffin. The men and women of the princes and nobles of Southern Chu are very obsessed with it, and they are indispensable every day.

Dansha is burned into mercury, and it is changed into dansha. This is the process of their alchemy. Since the chemical composition of dansa is mercury sulfide, it decomposes mercury, that is, mercury, after heating; After cooling, mercury and sulfur vapor are combined to form mercury sulfide.

These painstakingly refined elixirs are actually made from five minerals, including stalactites, white quartz, stone sulfur, red stone fat, and purple quartz. Dansha actually has a long history of medicinal value, "Shennong's Materia Medica" will list it as the first in the top grade, that it can cure all kinds of diseases, nourish the spirit, calm the soul, and make people clear of the gods for a long time, without aging. But in fact, the "elixir of immortality" that people really refine is very toxic, and it is easy to grasp the dosage when eating, and it is easy to die because of the toxicity of the elixir.

In this time and space, according to the words of the believers, there were about ten emperors who died after taking the elixir of immortality, and Xiong Jie, the emperor of Southern Chu, was one of them. At the beginning, he was frightened by the Supreme Treasure and died, in fact, a large part of the reason was because before this, he ate the "Elixir of Immortality" prepared for him by Wuwei Daoist as usual, but his body quickly became hot and dry, and he drank four or five bottles of wine in one night to vent this uncomfortable feeling, but helplessly, the toxicity became more and more intense, and the Supreme Treasure scared him with a bronze beast face, and finally died.

Wuwei Daoist also realized from this book that his previous alchemy was completely incorrect, and in fact, the real elixir of life can only be refined after collecting various immortal grasses and rare fruits, not by refining these poisonous minerals. Seeing the need for unicorn blood, phoenix blood, thousand-year-old lingzhi, immortal grass and other Wuwei Daoists recorded above, they knew that the refining of this elixir was not simple. Fortunately, there is a detailed record of the origin of various old and old pill raw materials in this book, and Wuwei Taoists can find them slowly when the time comes.

The last is refining, which is divided into ascending pill refining method, descending pill refining method and burning pill refining method, of which the first two have detailed records, but seeing the last Wuwei Taoist, they found that this last step is only half of the method of how to take the elixir of immortality in the end of the refining of the burning pill, and the specific amount of how to take the elixir is unknown.

Wuwei Daoist only then remembered that the missing half of the paper was the half torn off by the thief, but unfortunately he didn't know where it disappeared now. Now that I think about it, I feel remorseful, and I know that slowly untying the fourth child's hand should be able to keep the integrity of the ancient book. Wuwei Daoist began to rummage desperately under the table, hoping to find the other half that was missing, but after looking for a long time, the floor was clean, and there was no paper at all, did it really disappear out of thin air? Wuwei Daoist couldn't help but wonder.
