Sending Guo Xiaodong away, Qin Daoming was ready to retreat for a period of time, there were many dark injuries in the blood trial, and there was no time to recover well at that time, now is the right time to take the opportunity to recover well, he rested well for the night, and adjusted his body and spirit to the best state.

The next day, Qin Daoming came to the council hall to find his father Qin Yu: "Father, the child is going to retreat for a while, but I don't know where to go for retreat?"

Because Tianji Peak and the mountain behind Tianshu Peak both have caves for retreat, Qin Daoming had to consult his father's opinion first.

Qin Yu said warmly: "It's right behind Tianji Peak, anyway, the aura in the Qi refining period can't be greedy for more and faster." Also, in fact, retreat is also a kind of spiritual cultivation, ordinary people always think about how boring and sad it is to stay in such a cave for a few years, with no one to talk to and no one to communicate, and the monks have to cultivate the mind, change the way of thinking about problems, and turn retreat into a normal thing. Otherwise, even if there is a great opportunity to get immortality, it will be crazy because immortality is too boring in the end. ”

The boy thanked his father for his teachings. After Qin Daoming said goodbye to his father, he came to the mountain behind Tianji Peak and asked for a cave with sufficient spiritual energy, and after entering, he used the formation to close it.

When you reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, you will basically be able to clear the valley, and your body needs will be replenished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so you can start a long and real retreat cultivation.

Qin Daoming adjusted his mental state to the best, entered the visualization, and controlled the white aura in his body to wander around in the body's meridians, constantly refining the skin, muscles, meridians, blood vessels, internal organs, etc., only after the spiritual energy quenching, the physical body can resist more heaven and earth aura, and can condense and accommodate more aura.

At this time, Qin Daoming discovered that the lotus flower he ate in the Lotus Secret Realm still had a lot of residual aura in his body.

After a long time, Qin Daoming let out a sigh of relief, his body was covered with a layer of black foul-smelling liquid, which was a fruitful manifestation of quenching the body, and he casually used a cleansing technique to clean his body, Qin Daoming felt energetic, so he devoted himself to cultivation again.

Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, Qin Daoming finally repaired the dark wound he suffered in the blood-colored trial, and hit the foundation building period again, but there was no response, he gave up, and it seemed that he had to continue to accumulate before reaching the foundation building period.

After some weighing, Qin Daoming decided to practice alchemy, alchemy is one of the indispensable subjects for monks, except for those monks who really do not have alchemy talent, but all monks who have a little alchemy talent will generally learn alchemy, pills, which are very versatile, and are the most powerful and most commonly used auxiliary means for monks to practice.

Elixir can improve the monk's cultivation, Lingdan, which can improve the monk's cultivation qualifications, Lingdan, which can heal the monk's injuries, Lingdan, which can help the monk break through the bottleneck, Lingdan, which is said to be a powerful elixir that can also make the monk soar in the day...... As long as there is a pill, there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected effects, this is alchemy.

Alchemy originated in ancient times, known as Wai Dan Huang Bai Shu, which is a method used by ancient monks to refine pills in pursuit of immortality.

Ancient alchemists relied on their knowledge of the five elements and numbers of yin and yang, and tried to refine the spirit grass and spiritual plants into pills, in order to achieve the goal of immortality.

Yang 12345,

water, fire, wood, gold and earth,

Yin six, seven, eight, ninety.

The distribution of yin and yang, the five elements, and the numbers in this table is consistent with the more ancient monastic canon "Hetu", which fully demonstrates the practical application of the principles of reason, qi, and number in alchemy.

The ancient monks believed that the failure of alchemy could be attributed to the negligence of the alchemy process, but it could also be attributed to fate, and fate was the other side of the number. Therefore, a person must be destined to be destined to be an immortal in order to refine the elixir, otherwise he will definitely fail.

Cultivating the true hundred arts, in terms of auxiliary effects, alchemy is the strongest, and there is no one.

It is precisely because of the powerful auxiliary effect of alchemy that there are many monks who practice alchemy like a carp crossing a river. The various alchemy techniques and the ever-changing inheritance of the Dan recipe have evolved over thousands of years, just like the sand of the Ganges River.

However, most of the monks cherish themselves, because of the Dan Fang, because of the Spirit Grass, and because of the alchemy qualifications and other reasons, there are very few real alchemists, and most of the low-level alchemy monks often have only one or two Dan prescriptions, and even a sect like the Heavenly Dao Sect, a third-level alchemist, has a very good status. A fourth-level alchemist is a scarce resource.

The alchemy of ancient monks is a move to seize heaven and earth, which is why alchemy is extremely mysterious and strange in the cultivation activities or process. When the tripod is opened, the monks must fast and clean the crown, kneel and hold the medicine furnace, face the south and pray to the heavens of the avenue, and then enter the mountain to practice.....

Ancient alchemy equipment, is also varied, the alchemy tools recorded in the history books have Dan furnace, Danding, water sea, pomegranate jar, sweet snail, mercury extractor, Hua Chi, grinder, silk sieve, horsetail and so on, however, inherited to this day, in addition to the special region, the popular alchemy tools of mainland monks are mainly only Dan furnace and Danding, among which ordinary monks use Dan furnace for alchemy, only the big sects, only use Dan Ding, "Dan Jing" records, the ancient great sects come out of each Ding, into a thousand Dan.

Qin Daoming had two alchemy furnaces at hand, which were obtained from the second brother Qin Long and his mother, among them, the second brother's alchemy furnace was of better quality, and it happened to be used by Qin Daoming for alchemy at this time.

Monk alchemy, the so-called alchemy talent, is mainly on a fire character.

If the monk does not have the fire spirit root, and the cultivation is not the fire true qi, then the monk needs to build the foundation and give birth to the true fire before he can truly study the art of alchemy, which is one of them.

However, even if a cultivator who cultivates the true qi of fire cannot control the fire well and accurately control the true qi, then he will not be able to become an alchemist.

It is this threshold that has created the scarcity of alchemists.

Taking Qin Daoming as an example, the reason why he can quietly practice alchemy now is precisely because of his special physique, the aura in his body can be transformed into aura of any attribute.

Following the customs of the ancient monks, Qin Daoming fasted and wore a crown, sat concentrating in the alchemy room in the cultivation room, and after half a ring, he began to try the first alchemy.

Qin Daoming is not a person who is ambitious, and he never thought that he would become fat in one go, so the first spirit pill he chose to refine was the Qi Gathering Pill, which was also the pill he obtained from the "Dan Sutra". Qi Gathering Pill refining is relatively easy, Qin Daoming plans to practice Qi Gathering Pill first, get familiar with it, and then step by step.

Qin Daoming's alchemy was mainly derived from the teachings of the alchemists of the Heavenly Dao Sect, "Basic Alchemy", "Basic Alchemy", "Basic Alchemy: Pharmacological Combinations" and "Alchemy Experience", "Dan Jing", the contents of the five books related to alchemy that he had long remembered.

"Basic Alchemy" divides the entire alchemy process into six steps: "adjusting medicine, collecting medicine, sealing the furnace, refining medicine (Xiao Zhoutian), condensing pills, and stopping fire".

The six steps must not be the slightest mistake in order to refine the elixir.

Adjusting medicine is the first step, if the medicine is not adjusted, the real seed will not be born, and the Dan Jing has clouds: "Harmony and condensation determine the achievement", and the medicine is to deal with the spirit grass according to the needs of alchemy.

Among the elixirs, different spiritual grasses have different weight needs, such as the Qi Gathering Pill that Qin Daoming is now practicing, and its Dan recipe is three Qi Pills, two honeysuckles that are more than 30 years old, supplemented by rootless water, ebony carbon, and simmering to refine it, and the Qi Gathering Pill can be obtained.

The first step is to adjust the medicine, "Alchemy Experience" records, this is the foundation of the foundation of alchemy, it is related to the quality of the Dan, the alchemist has to practice the skill of the medicine throughout his life, of course, as long as the medicine reaches a certain level, you can start alchemy.

Qi Gathering Pill is a semi-elixir, except for honeysuckle that is more than 30 years old, other alchemy materials are mostly secular things, and they do not need to be modulated, as long as their weight is accurate. Therefore, the focus of Qin Daoming's concoction is two honeysuckles that are more than 30 years old.

There is a big gap between theory and practice.

After Qin Daoming started to modulate, he found that it was not easy to reconcile the aura of the two spirit grasses, the two spirit grasses, either you have more or he is less, and after adjusting them, Qin Daoming found that the aura of these two spirit grasses had lost too much during the adjustment process, and they could not meet the requirements of refining the aura of the Qi Gathering Pill.

In other words, in Qin Daoming's hands, this modulation ended in failure at this time. I had to take two more spirit grasses to practice this concoction. And this is often one of the reasons why alchemists are expensive, if it weren't for their outstanding talent, there really weren't too many spiritual grasses that could afford to raise an alchemist.

After four failures, Qin Daoming made alchemy and adjusted the medicine, which began in February.
