"Xiao Shao, this is the basic essentials of alchemy, you take a look at it first, and then try it out first according to the steps recorded in the book. Taishang Laojun handed Shao Yitian a yellowed cheatbook and some materials for refining pills.

Shao Yitian stretched out his hands and caught them respectfully, thanked him, and looked at the yellowed cheats and exotic flowers and plants in his hand, Shao Yitian was like a treasure.

This yellowed cheats book does not have a title, but Shao Yitian knows that what Taishang Laojun gave will not be inferior.

As for the materials for refining the pills in his hand, Shao Yitian had never seen any of them, let alone called them names.

Shao Yitian opened the yellowed book, like a student eager to gain knowledge and change his fate, looking at the contents of the book with hunger.

Fortunately, Shao Yitian's memory is now beyond ordinary people, and he basically memorizes it in his mind after reading it once.

This secret book has written some essentials and experiences of alchemy, and after Shao Yitian read it, he benefited a lot.

"Lao Jun, do you have to throw these materials into Qianyuan Ding?" Shao Yitian looked at the materials in his hand and felt that these strange flowers and plants were thrown into Qianyuan Ding, if he failed to refine them, wouldn't he waste these materials.

Taishang Laojun nodded slightly and said, "Throw them all in." ”

Shao Yitian threw all the materials into the Qianyuan Ding as he said, and then sacrificed the Samadhi True Fire and began to refine the elixir as recorded in the book.

At the beginning, Shao Yitian still felt that everything was normal, but slowly, Shao Yitian felt that the color of the Samadhi True Fire was getting lighter and lighter, and the flame was also very unstable, jumping up and down non-stop.

Shao Yitian tried his best to control the flame of the Samadhi True Fire, but the flame was still like a naughty child, and did not listen to Shao Yitian's command. In addition, Shao Yitian felt that with the passage of time, the aura in the dantian was slowly decreasing.

Small beads of sweat appeared on Shao Yitian's forehead, as if he was carrying a burden of hundreds of catties on his shoulders.

At this time, Shao Yitian felt that he was not distracted to play cards, even if he was distracted to say something to others, he was powerless.

Shao Yitian found that it seemed that Taishang Laojun's alchemy was easy and abnormal, but in fact, how much sweat had been paid behind the backs of others.

"Xiao Shao, how is it?" Taishang Laojun asked with a smile when he saw Shao Yitian's embarrassment.

Shao Yitian had the energy to talk to Taishang Laojun, and shook his head to indicate that it was very difficult.

The flame became more and more unstable, jumping up and down, as if it might be extinguished at any moment, like a candle in the wind.

Shao Yitian is unwilling to give up, this is his first alchemy, and he must persist if he breaks his teeth, persistence is victory!

"Come on, Shao Yitian!" Shao Yitian cheered for himself in his heart, gritted his teeth and persisted.

Gradually, the sweat on Shao Yitian's forehead was as big as soybeans, dripping down drop by drop, and Shao Yitian's clothes were already soaked. At this moment, Shao Yitian is like a migrant worker who has not slept for a few days and nights, still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Time passed minute by minute, and Shao Yitian did not smell the fragrance of the pill after the success of the pill, but smelled the smell of burnt plants.

Shao Yitian knew that his alchemy had failed, and the perseverance to grit his teeth and persist collapsed in an instant, and the samadhi true fire disappeared with it.

As soon as the flame is extinguished, it represents failure, complete failure!

"Whew!" Shao Yitian let out a long breath, which seemed to contain both a sigh after defeat and a complete relaxation.

"Xiao Shao, how is it? Alchemy is not so simple, right?" Taishang Laojun swept the dust and walked up to Shao Yitian and said.

Shao Yitian looked at the Qianyuan Ding floating in the air, smelled the scorching smell emanating from the Qianyuan Ding, nodded, and said, "Laojun, it seems that my foundation is not yet solid. ”

Taishang Laojun patted Shao Yitian on the shoulder and comforted: "Xiao Shao, don't be discouraged, if alchemy is so easy to succeed, then there will be alchemists everywhere." ”

Also, if this alchemy is really easy, it is really more low-level alchemists than dogs, and middle-level alchemists are all over the street. The more difficult it is to succeed, the more fulfillment you will feel after success.

"Xiao Shao, be discouraged, continue, one day you will succeed. Taishang Laojun gave Shao Yitian an encouragement.

Shao Yitian walked to the side of Qianyuanding and first tested the temperature of Qianyuanding with his hands, because he had been roasted by the Samadhi True Fire for so long, if he grabbed it with one hand, it would not become braised pig's trotters.

However, to Shao Yitian's surprise, Qianyuanding's surface did not feel a trace of temperature, which couldn't help but surprise Shao Yitian. Shao Yitian tentatively touched Qian Yuanding, and then took it away at lightning speed.

"It's really not hot. Although the touch just now was a breath of effort, Shao Yitian still felt that Qianyuanding was not hot at all.

Shao Yitian carefully opened the lid of the tripod and found that there was a lump of black stuff inside the Qianyuan Ding, as if it was burnt.

Shao Yitian took out the black thing, put it in his hand and looked at it, this is the fruit of his labor.

Subsequently, Taishang Laojun casually took out some materials and threw them into the Qianyuan Ding, and asked Shao Yitian to continue refining the pill.

Shao Yitian sacrificed the Samadhi True Fire, but the color of the flame was very light, Taishang Laojun immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into Shao Yitian's mouth, and said: "Xiao Shao, this is Peiyuan Dan, which can keep the aura in your dantian from drying up, swallow it." ”

There is such a treasure, Shao Yitian swallowed it unceremoniously, Pei Yuan Dan took a stomach, Shao Yitian suddenly felt a fire in the dantian, the original lack of aura in the dantian was instantly full of aura, and the light blue flame returned to its normal color.

As time passed, Shao Yitian still followed the previous path, and felt more and more difficult. The smell of burnt food wafted out from Qianyuanding again, Shao Yitian sighed, and failed again.

Although it is said that failure is the mother of success, failure always makes Shao Yitian feel very frustrated.

"Xiao Shao, don't worry, take your time. Taishang Laojun comforted, "Anyway, I have a lot of materials here, even if I fail hundreds or thousands of times, it is not a problem." ”

Shao Yitian looked at Taishang Laojun with a grateful face, and he really didn't know what to say. These strange flowers and plants that I wasted, natural and earthly treasures, if I take them to the mortal cultivation realm, I don't know how sought-after they are. However, it was wasted by himself, and it was a terrible thing.

"Xiao Shao, this Qianyuan Ding is also for you, you can take it home and slowly refine the pill. Taishang Laojun said generously.

Taishang Laojun beckoned, Qianyuanding was like an obedient child, fell into the hands of Taishang Laojun, Taishang Laojun pointed at Qianyuanding, and then said: "I have lifted the brand in Qianyuanding, Xiao Shao, you only need to plant your brand on Qianyuanding, and Qianyuanding can change the size at will as long as you have a thought in the future." ”

"Lao Jun, why does this alchemy equipment have to be branded? In the past, when Director Yang and Lu Zhenren gave me magic weapons, they didn't need to plant a brand?" Shao Yitian asked puzzledly, is it because Qianyuanding is an alchemy equipment?

Taishang Laojun laughed and said: "Xiao Shao, you don't understand this, magic weapons are divided into magic weapons, Taoist weapons and immortal weapons. The magic weapon, Taoist weapon, and immortal weapon are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Once this magic weapon reaches the level of a high-level Dao weapon, it will have a machine spirit and its own autonomous consciousness, and if you don't plant a brand on it, maybe one day the machine spirit will not obey your orders. ”

I see.

Shao Yitian immediately let go of his divine sense and planted a brand on Qianyuanding. As Taishang Laojun said, in the process of branding, Shao Yitian was resisted by the Qianyuan Ding Instrument Spirit. Shao Yitian could see clearly through his divine sense, Qian Yuanding's instrument spirit was the size of a three-year-old child, and when he saw Shao Yitian's divine sense breaking into his territory, he looked very angry, and his small mouth was so angry that he pouted Lao Gao, desperately resisting Shao Yitian.

Also, just now Taishang Laojun took back his brand, and Qianyuanding's instrument spirit thought that he had regained his freedom from then on, but who knew that there was another uninvited guest who wanted to restrict his freedom, and he could not agree.

However, after all, Qianyuanding's instrument spirit was still too weak, and he was quickly defeated, Shao Yitian took the opportunity to plant a brand on Qianyuanding, so that in the future, Qianyuanding would follow his words, as long as he had one thought, he could control Qianyuanding, and the instrument spirit could only obediently obey the arrangement.
