Chapter 5: The First Alchemy

Fingers gently stroked over the herbs on the ground. He Yiming was pleasantly surprised to find that after using the true qi of the wood system, he could not only sense the vitality on these herbs in the Ding Furnace, but even at this moment, when he stroked the herbs, he could also feel the vitality in them.

Among the herbs brought in by He Wude, there were still two refining quantities, and He Yiming was slowly selecting among them.

After a while, He Yiming separated the two herbs, and the one he held in his hand was naturally the one that felt the more energetic of the herbs.

He Wude stepped forward and carefully examined it, since he had the lesson of being expelled from the door wall last time, he always had to examine the medicinal herbs in detail before alchemy.

After flipping a few times on the two herbs, He Wude suddenly let out a startled sigh and looked up at He Yiming, with a look of incomprehension in his eyes. Then, he compared them one by one, and the suspicion in his eyes became more and more intense.

He Yiming was curious and asked, "Grandpa, is there anything wrong with the herb I chose?"

He Wude smiled bitterly. Said: "Yiming, how did you pick out these herbs?" ”

He Yiming blinked his eyes twice, and said honestly: "I think these herbs seem to be better, so I picked them out." ”

The muscles on He Wude's face twitched slightly, and said, "That's the reason?"

"Yes. He Yiming nodded honestly, puzzled in his heart.

After a long time, He Wude sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

He Yiming looked at him inexplicably, not understanding why he suddenly had such feelings.

"Yiming, do you know that the herbs you just selected are indeed of better quality. If you want to pick out the best quality among a bunch of the same medicinal herbs, and there is no mistake at all, even if it is me, I may not be able to do it foolproof. He Wude sighed: "But you have only been in contact with medicinal herbs for a month, and you have already mastered the essence of them, this kind of talent, even if you are a master and an old man, I am afraid that it is beyond the reach of the dust." ”

He Yiming's face turned slightly red, where did he recognize the quality of these medicinal materials, he just relied on sensing the vitality in them to distinguish.

It's just that this method is obviously not something that grandpa can use, so he is embarrassed to say it.

He Wude continued to sigh and said, "It is indeed extremely rare for you to have such an understanding of medicinal herbs. This was originally the talent of a best innate alchemist, but unfortunately, what you cultivated was not the path of firewood. ”

Seeing his grandfather shaking his head again and again, He Yiming was amused in his heart. He opened his mouth to speak, but finally endured.

Let's not talk about it now, wait until he succeeds in alchemy, and then give the old man a big surprise.

As soon as he thought of this, he was faintly proud in his heart, and in front of his grandfather, he actually had a feeling of returning to his childhood.

He Wude stood up, took a few steps back, shook his head a few times, and said, "Yiming, the earth fire qi here is too strong, I won't stay, wait until you finish refining the pill, come out by yourself, I'll wait at the door." ”

He Yiming responded and hurriedly sent him out.

He Wude left the alchemy room and felt the coolness of the cave hall, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is indeed easier to become a pill by using earth fire and copper tripod alchemy, but the heat of earth fire is not very tolerable. In addition to the innate powerhouse, even if it is an acquired peak master who cultivates fire-based exercises. It is also impossible to refine the elixir in it for a long time.

A black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and the Medicine Daoist had come to him at some point, and asked, "Wude, is Elder He alone inside?"

He Wude hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master, after seeing his disciple's alchemy, he wants to try it independently." Because they were all materials for Bigu Dan, the disciple agreed. ”

The medicine man nodded slightly, but then shook it a few times and said, "It's too urgent." ”

He Wude smiled bitterly, how could he not think so, but he still had some differences with his master.

The medicine dao people hoped that He Yiming would be able to take over the elixir peak in the future, but He Wude didn't want that, in his heart, He Yiming was a rare cultivation genius, not a genius of alchemy. Instead of letting the limited energy be distracted, it is better to understand the suffering of alchemy early and focus on the martial arts.

The medicine man took He Wude to the middle of the hall, and the two apostles began to talk, just like more than forty years ago, the warm feeling once again echoed in the cave.

※※※※

After He Yiming sent his grandfather away, he didn't immediately start refining the pill, but sat down calmly first, and recalled everything he had just seen and heard.

This may seem redundant, but it is incomparably important.

The scenes hovered in his mind as if they were alive, and it wasn't until He Yiming was convinced that he had mastered all the subtleties that he opened his eyes and stood up calmly.

Although it was the first time that he began refining pills. But He Yiming's heart was full of sorrow and joy, completely immersed in an ethereal state.

He lifted the bronze tripod, took out the flower dew and medicinal herbs, and put them into it exactly in the order and quantity that He Wude put down.

However, when they did this homework, their grandparents and grandchildren seemed to be the same, but in fact there were differences.

He Wude did this completely in accordance with the method summarized by his ancestors, and did it exactly like a gourd. But when He Yiming was doing this step, the true qi on his body did not relax for a moment, and the activity of the herbs soaked in the dew was under his monitoring at all times.

Slowly, he noticed a strange change, that is, each herb seemed to have a different vitality, and these vitality had their own characteristics, and it would have been impossible for them to intersect. But under the soak of dew, these vitality slowly changed slightly.

Some of the vitality is still like the 10,000-year-old mountain, not shaking in the slightest. However, the activity of some herbs is not stable, and they have begun to merge with each other and become a new activity.

Of course, due to the large variety of medicinal herbs, He Yiming was actually just a junior brother in alchemy, although he sensed all kinds of differences. But they don't know what each of these different energies means.

After a long time, when He Yiming completed all the processes and soaked a stick of incense, he covered the copper tripod and gently patted it on the pagoda below.

Suddenly, a fiery red light came out from the gap, and the temperature on the copper tripod increased little by little.

He Yiming's mind suddenly became highly concentrated, although this was his first formal alchemy, and what he was refining was not a high-grade pill. But for him, it is an extremely important thing, and he does not want to fail in any case.

True Qi invaded the copper tripod layer by layer. Slowly, he discovered the benefits of this copper tripod. This thing seemed to be particularly suitable for the passage of True Qi, and the obstacles caused were very small, even more than the Daguan Knife that he was carrying.

Based on this feature alone, we know that these copper tripods must be worth a lot of money.

As he learned more about this alchemy room, the more he was shocked by the wealth and generosity in the Yokoyama lineage.

In contrast, the Dan furnace used by Xie Zhien was simply like a child's toy.

In He Yiming's induction, the herbs and dew in the copper tripod were undergoing strange changes.

Under the catalysis of the power of fire, all kinds of different activities have quietly undergone various changes. The different herbs seem to change in different ways.

When He Wude was refining, He Yiming only paid a little attention to it, and did not really put all his energy into it, so what he initially sensed was only the overall vitality of all the herbs, and it was not subdivided into a certain herb.

But this moment is different, not only is he doing it himself, but in this alchemy room, there is no second person besides him, so he can do whatever he wants without fear.

At this moment, a wonderful change had taken place in his body, and one of his hands was gently pressed on the copper tripod, and the scorching temperature did not seem to have any effect on him.

Through contact with Tongding, his true qi incorporated all the changes in his heart.

As the medicinal properties and vitality of various herbs were continuously stimulated, the mixed smorgasbord of medicinal properties became more and more chaotic. Although He Yiming had tried his best to calculate the pharmacology, he still found nothing in the end.

After a long time, he finally gave up.

The knowledge of pharmacology is broad and profound, far from being able to distinguish between him, a rookie who has only been in contact for a long time. If he really wanted to master it completely, then it would be impossible without more than ten years of hard study and experimentation.

If He Wude was still here at this moment, then he would be surprised to find that He Yiming had obviously opened the furnace to inspect a lot less than him when he was alchemizing. And this is one of the most important conditions for refining high-grade pills in the future.

When refining low-grade pills, naturally there is not so much attention, but if you want to refine the innate golden pill, then before the refining is completed. It can't be uncovered in advance at all, and you can only rely on the innate true qi to probe the situation in the copper tripod.

Therefore, even if it is in the entire Hengshan lineage, only medicine Dao people have the ability to refine the innate golden pill.

Finally, after two hours of suffering, He Yiming's eyes lit up slightly, and he vaguely felt that the last step was coming.

It's just that, at this moment, he has a feeling that the power of fire in the copper tripod seems to be too weak.

This feeling was so abrupt, it was a feeling that suddenly popped up when he sensed the vitality of the medicine.

In just a split second, he had already made his choice.

Reaching out and patting lightly under the copper tripod, the pagoda suddenly retracted one layer again. The temperature of the earth fire suddenly doubled, and even the red color on the entire copper tripod seemed to become much more vivid.

He Yiming was engrossed in sensing the changes in those herbs, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

Although he had already made up his mind, even if he failed this time, the remaining materials could still be re-refined. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that not only did he not fail, but after becoming a pill, those medicinal vitality seemed to be even higher than the Bigu Pill refined by He Wude.

After the meal, He Yiming's lightning-like two palms struck out, and the pagoda-like mechanism suddenly returned to its original state, firmly isolating the earth fire.

After a moment of silence, He Yiming reached out and gently pressed the lid on the copper tripod.

Although this lid is still extremely hot at the moment, He Yiming doesn't care at all. With a slight force, he lifted the lid suddenly.

Suddenly, a rich aroma spread.

He Yiming twitched his nose twice, he was very satisfied with this aroma, at least it was much stronger than the Bigu Dan refined by his grandfather.

Glancing at the copper tripod, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

In the copper tripod, there were actually twenty pills, but unlike the ones refined by the grandfather, these Bigu pills were all white.

Gently took one out, and the milky white pill was dripping and spinning in his hand, even if it was him, he actually had a feeling of wanting to swallow it.

Of course, He Yiming will never try it easily.

After thinking about it for a moment, He Yiming put these pills into a jade bottle.

Twenty white pills, each the size of the first section of a baby's little finger, did not occupy a large space, and an ordinary jade bottle was more than enough.

After putting away these pills, he pushed open the door of the alchemy room, and when he looked up, the medicine Taoist and his grandfather were meditating outside the room, as if they were waiting for him to come out.

The Medicine Daoist raised his head and said with a smile, "Elder He, how do you feel about refining the pill for the first time?"

He Yiming smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for your old concern, I feel ......" He thought about it and said sincerely: "Although I haven't completely mastered it, I have gained a lot." ”

What he said was absolutely sincere, those medicinal fusions, especially the various strange changes produced, were far from being able to grasp them, but in his true qi induction, they gave him an intuitive impression, which was precious no matter how many medicinal books and medical theories he had read, he had not personally experienced it once.

The medicine Taoist nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Elder He, the alchemy technique is broad and profound, and it is reasonable to fail for the first attempt. ”

He Yiming was slightly stunned and said, "Elder Yao, in fact, I have already refined this Bigu Pill. ”

The Medicine Dao Man and He Wude were shocked at the same time, they were able to successfully refine it the first time? Could it be that He Yiming was not only a genius in martial arts, but even in alchemy, he also had a talent that was incomparable to others.

He Yiming coughed lightly and said, "However, the Bigu Dan I refined seems to be a little different from the one refined by my grandfather. ”

The two old men glanced at each other, and then they were relieved.

The medicine man smiled and said, "It's okay, the first time you refine it, even if you refine the waste pill, it's hard and valuable." ”

He Yiming opened his mouth and handed over the jade bottle in his hand very simply.

He Wude took it, he sighed in his heart, Yiming was really extraordinary, the first alchemy could actually refine the waste pill, if what he had was the two kinds of fire and wood exercises, how good would it be.

He subconsciously opened the cap.

Suddenly, the expression on his face froze, his nose twitched a few times, and his eyes stared at the white pill in the jade bottle, only to feel that the world was in chaos, and it seemed that it might collapse at any time.

The medicine man's gaze did not look at the jade bottle at all, but smiled comfortingly. Suddenly, he seemed to smell a strange fragrance on the tip of his nose. He sucked twice quickly, his face changed suddenly, and he quickly turned his head away. When he saw the white in the bottle, the look on his face immediately became extremely interesting.

"Wude, where did you get these pills from?" the medicine Taoist couldn't help but ask.

He Wude woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "Master, this is what Yiming has just refined. ”

The medicine dao man was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Elder He, are these pills really refined by your own hands?"

"Yes. He Yiming said seriously, he already understood that these white pills seemed to be a little out of line.

The medicine man's eyes were faintly shining, and his eyes when he looked at He Yiming were filled with a look of seeing rare and rare treasures, which made He Yiming's whole body appear with goosebumps.

After a long time, the medicine Taoist suddenly frowned, as if he was talking to himself: "Impossible, impossible, without the true qi induction of the fire and wood dual system, how can you accurately grasp the heat of this last level?"

He Yiming smiled indifferently, he had no intention of hiding this matter, but at this moment, seeing that the medicine Taoist was puzzled, he stretched out his hands flatly.

A thousand words of explanation are not as good as giving them what they have witnessed.

He Yiming's movements immediately attracted the attention of the two old men, and their four eyes immediately stared at him.

Soon, He Yiming's hands suddenly underwent strange changes.

On the left hand, a bright red color glowed, and a certain amount of heat was released. Although it is far less exaggerated than the fire in the center of the earth, as long as it is a little bit of knowledge, it can be easily recognized, this must be a manifestation of the success of some kind of fire-based exercises.

At the same time, He Yiming's right hand withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if the water in his body had been quickly drained by something, and his entire right hand had become dry, comparable to the palms of ordinary old ladies and grandfathers who were 100 years old.

Of course, both the Medicine Daoist and He Wude knew very well that He Yiming's hand contained extremely powerful power, even if it was the Medicine Daoist himself, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to suppress it easily.

Seeing this pair of completely different palms, a dull gaze appeared in the eyes of the medicine Daoist and He Wude.

They slowly raised their heads and looked at He Yiming, who had a harmless expression on his face, and a thought invariably arose in their hearts,

This kid, among the basic five elements, turned out to be a fourth-line initiates.

Is he still human......
