Chapter 7 The Avenue of Alchemy

As soon as Liu Qi walked outside Danchenzi's room, he smelled a smell of medicine, so Liu Qi stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered in the house, Liu Qi had no choice but to continue knocking, but there was still no sound in the house, Liu Qi was very puzzled, but he couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, he wanted to know what his third master was doing, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the strong aroma outside the room, and as soon as he took a sip, he felt that his whole body was fluttering, as if he had taken some kind of elixir, and the speed of the aura in his body also increased suddenly, just a moment of effort, the operation of the aura in his body exceeded several times of his previous cultivation, but at this moment Liu Qi did not dare to continue, because the shadow of almost exploding his body when he had just cultivated had not dissipated in his heart at the moment, how could he dare to try again。

So he stabilized his mind and looked at Dan Chenzi, only to see that Dan Chenzi was in front of a huge alchemy furnace at the moment, with a solemn expression, and his hands were quickly and constantly playing all kinds of tricks, but Liu Qi couldn't understand any of them, but Liu Qi understood that his third master was doing something very critical at the moment, so he didn't dare to disturb, just stood quietly and looked at Dan Chenzi, and soon, Dan Chenzi stopped what he was doing, and then meditated on the ground for a while.

"Qi'er, you're here, just now the master was refining a furnace of pills, so I don't have time to take care of you, but you have learned the skills of your fourth and fifth masters?"

"Third master, Qi'er didn't dare to say that she had learned it in place, but the fourth master told me that I could come to you to learn alchemy,"

"Well, good, yes, it is really full of understanding, far beyond the expectations of a few of our old guys, haha, since you have obtained the true inheritance of your previous masters, then now I will teach you the way of alchemy. ”

"Qi'er, in fact, our cultivators are originally competing for luck in heaven and earth, but it is against the sky, so we will encounter all kinds of setbacks in the process of cultivation, but the corresponding ones are all kinds of opportunities, so you remember, cultivation is blessing and misfortune according to blessing, there is no absolute good, there is no absolute bad thing, in fact, alchemy is the same reason, alchemy can rarely be refined at one time, the more advanced the pill refining is more likely to fail, and when refining the high-grade pill, it is likely to attract a catastrophe, but this catastrophe is not aimed at you, but for the pill itselfAnd when you refine the anti-heaven level elixir, there will also be a corresponding heavenly catastrophe, its purpose is very simple, it is to destroy all anti-heaven existence, destroy all the existence that can affect its normal operation, but the alchemy master is proud of this, there are really not many people in this world who can refine the anti-heaven elixir,"

"Okay, these are all digressions, you just need to understand that practice is alchemy, and alchemy is practice. ”

And in the old man's view, the pill is originally a thing against the sky, some pills can allow practitioners to directly improve a large realm, some pills have the effect of resurrecting the dead, and some pills can make people instantly fill up the disappearing aura, these pills all have the effect of rebelling against the sky, but this kind of pill is also the most scarce, but no matter how precious the pill is, the steps required when refining it are basically the same, that is, preparing the corresponding medicinal materials, clarifying the order and time of the medicinal materials entering the furnace, putting the pills, refining, and collecting the medicines, all of which require the alchemist to have a very strong spiritual perception, in fact, the so-called spiritual consciousness must be strong, In this way, you can get a greater success rate when refining the elixir, Qi'er, do you feel the existence of spiritual consciousness now?"

"When the apprentice was carving the talisman, he once felt that there was a huge consumption of spiritual power, I think this should be the spiritual consciousness you said, master. ”

"Well, yes, the depiction of the seal is the need to use the spiritual sense to accurately guide the operation of the aura, very good, it seems that you have condensed your own spiritual sense, and understand some of the initial use of spiritual sense, it seems that your understanding is indeed impeccable, generally in the refining period can condense their own spiritual consciousness of the people, most people are in the foundation of the successful condensation can condense their own spiritual consciousness, spiritual consciousness not only has a huge effect in alchemy, but also has extraordinary use when facing the enemy, you can now close your eyes can try to release your spiritual sense, see what effect, ”

Liu Qi closed his eyes when he heard this, and began to release the spiritual power he felt when he carved the talisman seal, but he found that his spiritual sense could only be released about five meters outside the body and could not continue to extend, but he found that he saw everything that his eyes could see in his spiritual sense, that is to say, he could see everything within five meters of his side just by relying on his spiritual sense, he understood that this was really important for battle, he could predict the danger in advance, so that he could calmly avoid it, which made him understand the importance of spiritual sense。

"Okay, you should now also understand the magic of spiritual sense, then let's talk about alchemy, these steps of alchemy must be thought out in your mind before you alchemy, and then follow the methods and steps taught to you by the teacher for alchemy, and about the pill formula, there are nine most basic pills for the teacher, you don't need to learn the high-level pills now, because the medicinal materials in these pills are either extinct in today's cultivation realm or extremely difficult to find, but after you master the refining methods of these nine basic pills, it is not very difficult to refine high-grade pills, but the spiritual sense required is more powerful, and the process is more cumbersome, okay." , as a teacher, I will give you enough medicinal materials and these nine pills now, you try to refine one first," As he spoke, he saw a bunch of medicinal materials and two books beside Liu Qi, one was the pill that Dan Chenzi said, and the other was very heavy, and the name of that book was called the Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials in the Xiuzhen Realm.

"Qi'er, you first remember the names, appearances and attributes of the medicinal materials in this cultivation realm medicinal materials, and then find the medicinal materials you want to use for alchemy in this pile of medicinal materials, and then refine them," Liu Qi saw that the book was big enough, and he felt that there were at least hundreds of thousands of medicinal materials in this book, how long would it take to memorize these, but there was no way, Dan Chenzi ordered him to sit cross-legged on the ground and read it.

If Liu Qi still had a kind of resistance to this book of medicinal materials at the beginning, then when he first saw the first page of this book, he completely became addicted, there was too much knowledge in it, which made him have a sense of hunger and thirst for the knowledge of this medicinal materials, and it was this hunger and thirst that made him memorize all the one hundred and eighty thousand medicinal materials in this book in just one month, and thanks to the fact that he is a cultivator, if he is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will not be able to remember so many things in his life.

Now that he has memorized it, he began to refine the pill in the first pill - Qi Inducing Pill, this pill has no big effect, the only effect is to make people who have not yet entered the Qi refining period can deepen their perception of aura, and there are very few medicinal materials needed, only eighteen kinds of medicinal materials are needed, and these medicinal materials are also very common medicinal materials in the cultivation realm, so Liu Qi began to look for them in that pile of medicinal materials, safflower, earth spirit, cockscomb grass, night cry...... , He successfully found these eighteen kinds of medicinal materials, and after placing them one by one, he was ready to start alchemy.

I saw that he first put the safflower into the alchemy furnace, and then all kinds of medicinal materials, and soon the medicinal materials he had placed had disappeared, and in the process of controlling the fusion of medicinal materials with his spiritual sense, he began to play the first section of the magic formula against the alchemy furnace, and soon the magic formula was finished, at this time he felt that his spiritual sense consumption was extremely serious, so he began to meditate and recover his spiritual consciousness in the process of self-fusion of medicinal materials.

Because the pills are very ordinary, so soon he will open the furnace to collect the pills, so he stood up and played a series of tricks on the pill furnace, when he finished these tricks, he saw the lid of the alchemy furnace open suddenly, and then flew out of it Several pills, and quickly flew into Liu Qi's hands, but Liu Qi took it and found that these pills in his hands were all black, and not only did not have the fragrance of the pills, but also had a stinky taste, Liu Qi knew that his first alchemy ended in failure, he actually understood at the beginning that alchemy was not so simple, so he began to look for the reason for the failure。

First of all, there is definitely no problem with the selection of medicinal materials, so there is a problem with the time of putting the medicinal materials? No matter, try it first, so he took out another medicinal material and began to refine it for the second time, he paid more attention to the time of putting the medicinal materials, but this time he still failed, this time he was sure that it was not a matter of time, that is, the problem of the next two procedures, then come again, the third failure, has failed nine times, and finally succeeded in refining the Qi Induction Pill for the tenth time.

In this process, he found a series of problems in his alchemy, and at the same time, he also understood that alchemy is really difficult, because not only can there be no difference between these steps, but these steps are extremely precise in terms of time requirements, if you don't control it well, then there is only one final result, that is, failure.

But at this time, he didn't plan to refine the pills behind, he began to continue refining the Qi Induction Pill, this time he only failed four times, and then continued, the number of times he failed became less and less, and in the end, he could refine it successfully, at this moment he knew that he had basically mastered the basic essentials of alchemy, so he began to gradually refine the eight pills behind.

With the foundation laid by the Qi Induction Pill, the eight pills in the back did not bring too much pressure to Liu Qi, basically he only refined the pills in the back after he could successfully refine them at one time, so his alchemy foundation at this time could not be described as solid.

And Dan Chenzi, who had been meditating next to him, also opened his eyes at this time and nodded slightly with a smile, it was obvious that he was also extremely satisfied with his apprentice.

"Okay, Qi'er, I think you should also understand the aspects of alchemy, in fact, these teachers can teach you, but the teacher thinks that if you can experience it, then you will have greater development on the road of alchemy in the future, very good, you really did not disappoint the old man, well, since you have been able to successfully and familiarly refine these nine kinds of pills, it means that your attainments in alchemy are not shallow, then these are the only things that the teacher can teach you, in the future, your road still needs to be walked by yourself, you can go to your second master now, that is also the last level you have experienced, I hope you can satisfy your second master, ”

"Thank you for the cultivation of the third master, the apprentice must work hard to learn alchemy, and he will not let the third master be dusted," Dan Chenzi nodded with a smile and disappeared without speaking, and Liu Qi was used to these for a long time, so he tidied himself up and walked to the residence of the empty sword.
