Chapter 103: The First Alchemy

Of course, the pills refined with cinnabar are almost all entry-level pills.

At a certain level, it will be replaced with other materials.

That night, Gao Xing did not breathe, but studied the basic techniques of alchemy for a night.

The next morning, I came to Panjiayuan Market alone and found the big gold tooth.

"Yo, Brother Gaoxing, quick, please ...... inside"

As soon as he saw Gao Xing, the big golden tooth called a warm voice and hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Jin, there's something I want to ask you for help with."

"Look at what you say, if you are told, it is ......"

I have to say that the big golden tooth speaks beautifully, after all, he is an old fritter in the rivers and lakes.

Gao Xing got straight to the point and said, "Can you help me get an alchemy furnace?" ”

"Refining ...... Alchemy furnace? Do you think that's okay? ”

The big gold tooth was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the corner of the shop.

Gao Xing glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Master Jin, are you really ignorant or what?" It was just a big incense burner, not the same as the Dan burner. ”

The big gold tooth coughed in embarrassment: "That...... To be honest, it is estimated that the alchemy furnace will not be found in the entire Panjiayuan market, after all, this thing is too professional.

Even if there was one before, I am afraid that it was bought as an incense burner and collected. ”

Indeed, the appearance of the alchemy furnace is somewhat similar to that kind of large incense burner, and many people can't distinguish it.

Especially in modern times, alchemy has almost become a legend, and it is indeed difficult to find an alchemy furnace.

"That's right......"

The Great Golden Tooth suddenly remembered something.

"The year before last...... Yes, the year before last, when I went to the suburbs of Beijing to collect antiques, I heard that there is a Taoist temple there that is very old, hundreds of years old, and there are many antiques in it.

Some people have bad intentions and want to go in and steal some to get rich.

As a result, none of them succeeded, and all of them were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces.

I didn't want to be bored, so I didn't go in. But I thought, since it has a history of hundreds of years, and you want to come to that Taoist temple with a Dan furnace, why don't you go and see it? ”

"Well, yes, where is that Taoist temple?"

"In Fengming Mountain, Shun County, on the outskirts of Beijing, that Taoist temple is called Fengming Temple."

"Thank you Jin Ye, then I'll take a look."

After saying goodbye to the big golden tooth, Gao Xing found a car and went straight to Fengming Mountain.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

The Taoist temple is on the mountain, and you can only go up along narrow stone steps.

The same is not high, and it takes about ten minutes to reach the door of the Taoist temple.

At a glance, this Taoist temple is indeed very ancient, covering an area of about seven or eight acres, and there are several towering Nanmu trees in it, which should be hundreds of years old.

Gao Xing walked into the Taoist temple and worshiped the statue of Tianzun enshrined inside.

Then, walk into the backyard.

In the courtyard, a man in his thirties and dressed in a Taoist robe was sweeping the floor.

Seeing Gao Xing coming in, he subconsciously greeted the layman...... Then, he looked stunned, smiled embarrassedly and saluted: "It turned out to be a Taoist friend visiting." ”

In fact, Gao Xing has always rarely worn Taoist robes, and they are all ordinary clothes.

The other party changed his words to call him Daoyou, obviously seeing Gao Xing's identity...... It can be seen that this middle-aged Taoist is not simple, and he is by no means an ordinary Taoist.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, are you the host here?"

"No, the host is my master'......"

"Can you introduce Brother Dao?"

"Who's looking for the poor?"

At this time, an old man with white hair suddenly walked out of the wing.

"Master!"

The middle-aged Taoist hurriedly bowed.

Gao Xing also bowed, secretly amazed in his heart.

Because, he could sense that the mana of this old way was quite strong, and he was a real master.

Similarly, Lao Dao also looked at Gao Xing with some surprise and sighed: "Who is this little Taoist friend?" Your cultivation is not weak, much stronger than my inferior disciple. ”

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged Taoist suddenly looked ashamed.

"The Taoist has won the prize!" Gao Xing smiled modestly and said, "My master and his old man have already gone to ......."

"I see...... Dust-free, go make two cups of tea. ”

"Yes, Master!"

Through conversation, Gao Xing learned the old Dao's Dao name: Qingyangzi, a branch disciple belonging to the Longhu Mountain faction.

"I don't know what the little Taoist friend means by coming this time?"

After drinking tea for a while, Qingyangzi began to ask about Gao Xing's intention.

"Dao Chief, that's the case, I want to learn alchemy, but I don't have a Dan furnace. Someone told me that the Wind Singing Temple is relatively old, and I might be able to find ......."

"Oh? Can you do alchemy? ”

As soon as he heard what Gao Xing said, Qingyangzi's eyes lit up.

"This ......" Gao Xing smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I haven't started practicing yet, I just have mastered some basic theories, and I have no practical experience." ”

"Alas! If you want to say that this alchemy is now declining, including the poor disciple of the poor way, who taught him for ten years, and still can't refine a decent pill.

In this way, you can practice here in the poor road, and if you don't have experience, don't worry, the poor road can guide you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Xing was overjoyed, and immediately got up and saluted: "Then thank you Dao Chang!" ”

After a while, Wuchen moved the Dan furnace to the courtyard.

Gao Xing, according to the theory he mastered, began to prepare raw materials, as well as firewood, and prepared to refine the most basic Qi Nourishing Pill.

Yangqi Pill is an entry-level Taoist pill, and its effect is mainly to calm the nerves, nourish qi, and activate meridian blood, in short, it is a health pill.

Refining is also relatively easy.

Of course, relatively easy doesn't mean easy.

If you don't have a certain talent, you can't refine this pill either.

When everything is ready, Gao Xing first sets up the furnace and waits until the furnace reaches the right temperature, and then begins to put in the raw materials in turn.

These steps aren't very important, as long as they don't go wrong.

The most important thing in alchemy is the mastery of heat.

When to use simmering, when to use medium fire, and when to use martial fire, there is no specific concept at all, it all depends on personal feelings.

When the fire is big, the liquid medicine is easy to burn.

The fire is too small to fully refine the medicinal effect.

This requires a personal feeling to grasp a degree.

For the first time in alchemy, Gao Xing seemed a little in a hurry. Fortunately, Qingyangzi pointed out from the side from time to time, and slowly, he also had a little feeling and experience.

After an hour, the liquid began to boil.

And at this time, it is the most critical time for alchemy, if you don't pay attention to it, the liquid will be burned.

If it is some high-grade elixir, it is even more necessary to make palm prints, penetrate the true qi into the medicinal liquid, and even inject special elixirs.

In this way, the refined pill is said to form a Dan pattern, which is not only more effective, but also the Dan pattern can lock the medicinal effect and facilitate long-term storage.

Another half hour passed......

A strong medicinal fragrance began to permeate the courtyard.

Gao Xing immediately sealed the fire and sprinkled some powdered potions into the Dan furnace.

Then the true qi was condensed, and as soon as the void was grasped, a string of thick medicinal liquid followed, and as soon as it left the mouth of the Dan furnace, it solidified into several thumb-sized pills.

It's done!

Gao Xing's eyes lit up, and he was happy and excited......
