Chapter 34: Alchemy

With the assistance of the Water Spirit Pot, Zhang Zhixuan's long-stagnant cultivation finally began to grow, and the injuries on his body also recovered quickly.

Qing Chan has already practiced Qi at the first level, and when he has cultivated to the Qi refining period, his body strength has also increased a lot, and many of the work in the spiritual field has been able to do it alone, which has reduced a lot of burden for Zhang Zhixuan.

The transformation of the white jade bees in the spirit field continued, and in just a few days, three or four more white jade bees were successfully transformed.

But to evolve the white jade queen bee, it is not known how long it will take.

Just when Zhang Zhixuan was immersed in the leisurely pastoral life, the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, suddenly appeared in front of Lingtian.

Zhang Menglong glanced at Zhang Zhixuan, who was ruddy, and said with a smile: "It seems that the virtuous nephew is recovering well, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Zhixuan handed over his luggage, and then asked rhetorically: "The fourth uncle is here, but does the family have any explanation?" ”

"Yes, after so many days, your ninth uncle still hasn't heard from you, and it seems that the situation is already very bad.

In the family, except for your ninth uncle, who has not cultivated a qualified alchemist, the only two alchemy apprentices have all died in the chaos in the market.

Up to now, the most urgent task of the family is to cultivate a qualified alchemist.

To learn alchemy, it is best to have a certain amount of cultivation.

The cultivators above the middle stage of the family's Qi cultivation are many years old and have already learned the other immortal cultivation arts, and it is no longer suitable to invest resources in cultivating them.

You are not very old, you already have a lot of foundation in cultivation, and you should also have a fire spirit root on your body, so you are the most suitable person for the family now.

I went down the mountain this time to bring you some spirit grass and pill formulas, so that you can carefully figure it out during this time and see if you have any talent for alchemy.

If you can be promoted to an alchemy apprentice next year, the family will invest more resources in you. ”

Hearing the words of the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, Zhang Zhixuan was shocked, and he secretly thought: "The words of the fourth uncle show that the family has decided to vigorously cultivate me.

The success rate of the alchemist profession in the early stage is very low, and it is basically a loss-making business. Unless the family invests a lot of resources, it is impossible to learn alchemy, a money-burning profession, relying on Zhang Zhixuan alone. ”

"To learn alchemy, you need to have an alchemy furnace magic weapon, and you also need to have earth fire, and I don't have this condition here at all." Zhang Zhixuan said embarrassedly.

"You don't have to worry about this, there are still some remnants of the Xuanyang Wood family of alchemy, and your seventh uncle will send it to you in a few days.

As for the alchemy furnace, the best alchemy furnace in the family is on your Jiubo, and this time it has been lost.

Now there are three alchemy furnaces in the clan, and the best one is only a second-order middle grade, and this time I brought it to you. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Menglong, the fourth uncle, took out a one-foot-square fine iron Dan furnace from the storage bag on his waist, and then handed it to Zhang Zhixuan.

Then he continued to take out some low-level spirit grasses from his storage bag, a dozen brand-new books, and three jade slips among them.

"It's all up to you, you have to be a little more careful during this time. We are already old, half of our bodies are already buried in the earth, and the family will depend on your generation for the rest of the family. ”

The disappearance of the ninth uncle undoubtedly made the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, a little disheartened. The gradual decline of the family in the past hundred years also made the fourth uncle worried, worried that their generation of monks would grow old, and the family would not have an outstanding monk to succeed him, and he would not know what to do in the future? Can we pass on the legacy of our ancestors?

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, I will protect my own safety, this place is sparsely populated, only a dozen family monks have been here, it is difficult to be noticed by outsiders." If no one in the family leaks the news, no outsiders will find out.

Last time, I went to Fang Market and bought a array disk made of demon beast bones, and since the fourth uncle came, he gave me a palm eye to see if this array disk could be restored. ”

Zhang Zhixuan returned to the house, took out the white bone array disk, and handed it to the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong.

The fourth uncle was already a third-order array mage, and he was already the most important talent in the family besides the patriarch, he took a closer look at the white bone array and said, "This should be something that has been spread from the East Sea.

There are many krakens in the east of the sea, so the material resources of demon beasts are very abundant, and they refine the array disk, mostly using the spirit bones of demon beasts.

This array disk was originally of a good grade, and it was a third-order high-grade thing, but it was a pity that the aura had been lost for hundreds of years, and it was difficult to recover.

The only way is to use the blood refining method to kill three third-level demon beasts, dig out their spirit bones, and then use the spirit beast essence blood to smelt the spirit bones into the array disk.

However, in this way, it will be more difficult, rather than this, it is better to refine another array plate and arrange a new formation.

So this thing is a chicken rib, it's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless, and you spend a little more spirit stones. If you can match it into a second-order formation, it can also play some role and add a layer of protection here. ”

The uncle and nephew talked for an afternoon, Zhang Menglong explained to him some of the difficulties encountered in cultivation, seeing the sun slanting in the west, Zhang Menglong sighed and said: "Your ninth uncle is gone, and you will learn alchemy in the future, and there is no one to guide you, and I don't know how far you can go?"

I also know a little about alchemy, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. ”

After Zhang Menglong left, Zhang Zhixuan began to study alchemy, and three of the books are worth Zhang Zhixuan's careful viewing.

"Mengquan on Dan" is Zhang Mengquan's alchemy experience in his life, and there is no record of any Dan prescription in it, nor is there any alchemy decision.

But this book is the most important, it not only contains a lot of tips summarized by Zhang Mengquan, some details of his learning alchemy, but also records the difficulties encountered in the process of alchemy.

Some of these problems have been answered by Zhang Mengquan, and some of them have to be solved by later learners.

"Xuantong Dan Solution" is the ancestral Taoist system of the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Tairen accidentally obtained the inheritance of building the foundation and scattering the cultivation, and there are not only spiritual weapons and spiritual runes in the cave, but also some cultivation methods.

One of them is this "Xuantong Dan Solution".

The alchemist of the Zhang family, at the beginning of learning alchemy, completely relied on this "Xuantong Dan Solution", there are seven kinds of elixir in the book, but unfortunately the herbs in the four elixirs are very rare, and for hundreds of years, the Zhang family only refined the three elixirs in the successful book.

This book also records a unique alchemy method, spiritual water alchemy.

This unique alchemy method can use spiritual water to refine the elixir, but unfortunately no one has been able to learn it for hundreds of years.

Although the Six Treatises on Danfang is simple, it involves the most profound theories, which involves the fundamental principles of alchemy and tells the profound relationship between monarchs and ministers and interdependence between elixirs.

Although the book only talks about the alchemy principle of Xingqi Dispersion, which is a second-order low-grade elixir, it is very helpful for Dan masters who are interested in learning alchemy.

Only by profoundly studying the truth in alchemy can one become a real alchemist, not an alchemy tool.

If you don't understand the internal pharmacology of the elixir, you can only refine the elixir according to the Dan prescription, even if this kind of alchemist is skilled in alchemy and can refine high-level elixir, it is only an alchemy machine, and it is impossible to get the approval of the monks of the Danmeng.
