Chapter 35 Four years in a hurry
After sending away the fourth uncle Zhang Menglong, Zhang Zhixuan had one more task and began to learn alchemy.
Qing Chan has already practiced qi and has been able to do a lot of work, whether it is weeding or ploughing the fields, or taking care of the white jade beehive, Qing Chan has learned a good way.
One person's work is done by two people together, and Zhang Zhixuan has some free time.
Every morning, as soon as the sun rose, Zhang Zhixuan began to practice the Qi Accumulation Technique, refining the purple qi of the rising sun every day, and making plans for building a foundation in the future.
Recently, Zhang Zhixuan has taught this spell to Qing Chan.
This spell is difficult to say, even if the talent is good, it can't be cultivated, it is very simple to say that it is simple, even if it is a mortal without a spiritual root, he can also cultivate.
To practice this spell, one needs to visualize the purple sun in one's mind, and if it can be successful, it will be able to refine the innate purple qi that is early every morning, and then store the purple qi in the dantian.
Cultivators refining mana generally exist in the middle dantian.
Although the upper and lower dantian can also store mana, it is quite fragile, and the energy of mana is quite violent, and the slightest carelessness will break through the upper and lower dantian, causing the monk to die on the spot.
Therefore, unless there are some crazy monks, no one will develop the upper and lower dantians at all, and there are very few miraculous tricks involving the upper and lower dantians.
Although Qing Chan can't speak, she is very spiritual, and she is also very smart, under Zhang Zhixuan's careful explanation, she soon succeeded in visualizing the purple sun, refining the first wisp of purple qi into the dantian.
After Qingchan was fully introduced, Zhang Zhixuan began to read various pills and pharmacology, and began to learn alchemy.
The first-order elixirs are very simple, they are all some of the most basic elixirs in the immortal cultivation world, and most of them are suitable for congenital stage cultivators to consolidate their foundations and cultivate their yuan.
The elixir of this grade only contained a trace of spiritual energy, and it was of little use to the Qi cultivation period cultivators at all.
Zhang Zhixuan's first refining was the first-order high-grade Bigu Dan.
There are countless kinds of pills in this kind of elixir, and the highest grade of Bigu Dan is full of three orders, even if a monk in the foundation building period takes one pill, he can fill his stomach for a year.
And the simplest Bigu Dan only has a first-order lower grade, even if ordinary mortals take it, it can last up to seven days.
The main material of Bigu Dan is Lingmi, and there are seven or eight kinds of auxiliary medicines, all of which are ordinary ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials, which can not only fill the stomach, but also have some effects of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan.
The Bigu Dan Dan Fang in Zhang Zhixuan's hand is a first-order high-grade, the main material is the best chalcedony rice, the auxiliary material is a ginseng plant that is more than 100 years old, and there are seven or eight kinds of other precious medicinal materials.
Zhang Zhixuan first soaked the chalcedony rice in well water, and then used a flying knife to cut the Xuanyang wood into small pieces more than an inch long.
Then he lit the Xuanyang Wood and set the alchemy furnace on top of the fire.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the temperature of the spiritual fire, and then added well water with sufficient spiritual energy to the alchemy furnace, and put herbs into the furnace one by one.
The burning temperature of Xuanyang Wood is extremely high, far exceeding that of ordinary flames, although it is not as good as the earth fire, and it is not as good as the real fire in the body of the foundation building monk, but it can also cooperate with the refining of low-level spirit pills.
Some first-order elixirs don't even need spiritual fire, and they can be alchemy with just mortal fire.
Zhang Zhixuan's Bigu Dan, because there is a first-order chalcedony rice, it is difficult to dissolve any fire, so he will ignite the Xuanyang wood and use the Xuanyang wood with a higher burning temperature to make the pill.
The first few alchemies, because of the unreasonable temperature control of the spiritual fire, all ended in failure, and a lot of chalcedony rice was wasted, which caused Qingchan to complain for a while.
Every time alchemy failed, Zhang Zhixuan would record the experience of alchemy failure in detail, and after more than a dozen summaries, Zhang Zhixuan's experience in controlling fire became more and more proficient, and finally succeeded in refining the first furnace of Bigu Dan two months later.
After refining the first-order elixir, Zhang Zhixuan was already an alchemy apprentice, and soon he told the news to Shanmen.
Not long after, the fourth uncle went down the mountain again, and this time he brought some common spirit grasses with him, increasing the resources invested in Zhang Zhixuan.
After a year and a half, Zhang Zhixuan successively learned five or six low-level elixirs, such as the first-order lower-grade Yangyuan Pill, the first-order high-grade Elderberry Pill, the first-order middle-grade bear bile pill, and the first-order high-grade Xuanyu Cream.
Zhang Zhixuan is pregnant with the fire spirit root, and he is more sensitive to the temperature changes of the spiritual fire, plus he has a good understanding and is good at summing up experience.
Therefore, for alchemy, he learned very quickly, and in just two years, he became a good alchemy apprentice, which made the elders in the family very pleased, and increased the resources invested in him.
Time flies, and another two years have passed, and with the family's large amount of resources, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy has advanced by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, he successfully refined four or five second-order elixirs, and successfully advanced to a second-order alchemist.
Although his alchemy heat is far inferior to that of Jiubo Zhang Mengquan now, the success rate of refining the second-order mid-grade spirit pill is also less than that of the third-order.
If it is converted into spirit stones, it can only barely lose money, and it can't earn much spirit stones for the family.
Even so, it still alarmed the patriarch Zhang Leqian, seeing that Zhang Zhixuan learned alchemy so quickly, which greatly surprised the family elders, Zhang Leqian was also very relieved, and also gave Zhang Zhixuan a magic weapon that he treasured.
The grade of this magic weapon is even more than the second order, it is a disposable magic weapon, and the fire thunder bead of the third order is lower.
Although this Fire Thunder Bead can only be used once, its power is far greater than the Fire Thunder Wood Talisman in Zhang Zhixuan's hand.
Even if a monk in the foundation building period is not a little guarded, he may be plotted by this one-time magic weapon.
In these four years, Zhang Zhixuan not only became a second-order mid-grade alchemist, but even his cultivation has improved, breaking through two levels in a row and entering the eighth layer of qi training.
With the assistance of the Water Spirit Pot, Zhang Zhixuan no longer lacks the resources to practice.
With the help of sufficient aura, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation did not encounter a bottleneck, and within five years, he broke through two layers of bottlenecks in a row and entered the eighth-layer realm of qi training
At this point, his cultivation was already second only to the five elders of the family, and he could be regarded as a small master in the family.
In the past few years, he has also completed the sacrifice of most of the magic weapons seized in the Fang Market that year.
In the fierce battle in Fang City, he killed an old monk who practiced qi at the eighth level, not only took away the old monk's storage jade box, but also obtained a second-order mid-grade magic gourd.
After several years of refining, the ban placed by the elderly monk in the storage jade box has been broken by Zhang Zhixuan.
There weren't many good things in the jade box, only a few spirit stones, seven or eight low-level spirit runes, and not even a surplus magic weapon
Later, in the cave, he killed a black-clothed man who practiced qi at the seventh level, and harvested a second-order mid-grade flying knife and a broken second-order mid-grade shield.
After returning to the mountain gate, he handed over the broken shield to the fourth uncle, Zhang Menglong, and brought it back to the mountain gate, and brought it to the eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin to repair it.
Eighteenth Aunt Zhang Mengqin is less than fifty years old, and it has been almost ten years since she cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training, she has a fire spirit root, but she did not choose alchemy, but chose the profession of refining weapons.
The green bamboo sword in Zhang Zhixuan's hand came from her hand.
Zhang Zhixuan spent an additional twenty spirit stones, and finally let the eighteenth aunt make a move, she used several second-order spirit ores, completely smelted the wooden shield in it, and repaired this shield magic weapon from the beginning.
What's even more surprising is Xiao Qingchan, in the four and a half years in the spiritual field, she has only practiced for four years, and her cultivation has reached the sixth level of qi cultivation, and in another three or five years, I am afraid she will be able to catch up with Zhang Zhixuan.
Because Qing Chan had already cultivated well, Zhang Zhixuan handed over the shield magic weapon in his hand, the fire thunder wood rune, the golden knife wood rune and other magic weapons in his hand, and also attached more than a dozen low-level spirit runes.
Because the progress of Qingzen's cultivation is extremely amazing, in the past year or two, Zhang Zhixuan has not dared to take her to meet the monks of the family, so as not to leak the news and leave any hidden dangers.
