Chapter 269: The Difficulty of Alchemy
Hearing Chang Wu's words, Qingtian Sanren was very relieved, nodded and said: "You are right, every time we refine a furnace of pills, it is equivalent to us recompiling a pill, and the only thing that saves us more trouble than the predecessor who created the pill is that there are ready-made pills to refer to." Therefore, it is necessary to watch and practice more, grasp the characteristics of each elixir, observe the medicinal power of each elixir, fine-tune the allocation ratio of various medicinal materials in the elixir formula, and adjust them to the best mix ratio. Not only in terms of elixir, but also other aspects such as material purification and refining, elixir refining methods, heat configuration methods, etc., each step has an impact on the final Dan. ”
Although Qingyang has never refined pills, he understands the words of Qingtian Sanren, and the Danshu is easy to learn, but it is very difficult to become a wise Dan Master. Low-level elixirs, maybe a few, a dozen elixirs are enough, even if each elixir needs to be adjusted, the energy consumed is not very large.
And those high-grade elixirs, it may take dozens, or even hundreds of elixirs to refine, the workload is amazing, you adjust this, you have to adjust that, and at the same time affect other materials, you adjust the front, you must adjust the back, but adjust the back, maybe the front needs to be adjusted again, and the whole body will be moved, maybe because of a very slight error, or a certain elixir has a mistake, it will be wasted.
Therefore, even if you succeed in refining for the first time and are proficient in the refining method of a certain elixir, you will still fail when refining it again, and it is already very good to keep the success rate at two or three percent, and as for the success rate of increasing to four or five percent or higher, unless it is the kind of extremely clever or extremely talented alchemist.
Qingyang was still thinking about the issue of Danshu, and Chang Wuzhi asked again: "Senior Uncle Qingtian, how can we quickly improve our experience in this area?" ”
Qingtian Sanren shook his head and said, "It is very difficult to improve quickly in this area, and there is no shortcut. Either rely on talent, and are naturally sensitive to this aspect, and are a genius in alchemy, so it is easier to learn. Either rely on diligent study and hard practice, more observation, more research, more contact, accumulate experience, practice makes perfect, and alchemy will be much easier. ”
Qingtian Sanren said simply, but talent is something that can be encountered but not sought, and it is estimated that there are not many in the Qingfeng Palace. As for practice makes perfect, it is even more difficult, learning alchemy is very resource-intensive, and before becoming a real alchemy, it has always been a loss-making business, requiring countless materials to pile up. Even if you become an alchemy one day, it is impossible to go further and try to refine a higher-grade elixir without wasting a lot of materials.
These low-level cultivators here, the little spirit stone they usually earn is not even enough for cultivation, how can they have extra spirit stones to buy elixir for them to waste? Only the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the large Immortal Cultivation Family can afford to raise it. The Qingfeng Hall is so big, and the Qi Refining Dan Masters and Zhuji Dan Masters of the entire Alchemy Academy add up to no more than ten.
In the end, Qingtian Sanren looked at Chang Wuxian below and said, "Your name is Chang Wuxi, right, I have also heard of you, you are very talented in alchemy, and you have almost reached the level of a qi refining Dan master by self-study." What do you think? Are you interested in joining our Alchemy Academy? Among the many ministries and courtyards of the Qingfeng Palace, the treatment of our Alchemy Academy is the best. ”
Although the work of the Alchemy Academy is relatively boring, and most of the time has to be spent in alchemy, but as Qingtian Sanren said, the Alchemy Academy is indeed the department with the best treatment in the entire Qingfeng Palace, with high salary, and can study Danshu, and do not need to spend spirit stones by himself, such a good thing, Chang Wuzhi is naturally unwanted, and hurriedly said: "Thank you uncle, the disciple is willing!" ”
Qingtian Sanren had already expected Chang Wu's reaction, nodded at him, and said, "Okay, you go back and prepare, and then go directly to the Alchemy Academy to find me." ”
After the explanation, Qingtian Sanren left, leaving only a group of monks in the Dan room, looking at Chang Wuxian with envy in their eyes. The Alchemy Academy is a good place, not to mention anything else, at least there will be no shortage of pills, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of pills to cultivate after this is not sick.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and he is obsessed with Danshu without illness, and he has become a quasi-qi refining Dan master by self-study, and his Danshu attainments are very outstanding among the younger generation of monks, and it is natural for him to be absorbed into the Alchemy Academy by Qingtian Sanren. Qingyang didn't envy the other party much, he was still reminiscing about the Danshu experience that Qingtian Sanren had talked about, today's lesson benefited him a lot, he felt that as long as he could eat these thoroughly, it shouldn't be difficult to learn alchemy.
The people in the Dan room dispersed one after another, and Lu Dingshan couldn't sit still for a long time, but looking at Qingyang's appearance, it seemed that he had gained a lot, so he didn't urge, until everyone was almost there, Qingyang stood up and walked towards the residence with Lu Dingshan.
Lu Dingshan couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Qingyang, just now in the Gongfa Pavilion, you picked out a basic book on Danshu, I see that you seem to be very interested in Danshu." ”
Qingyang said: "It's not that I'm interested, but I have to learn a body skill, although we have been promoted to the outer courtyard, but the annual treatment is only four spirit stones and four Qi Gathering Pills, which is not enough at all, I want to give it a try to see if I have any talent in alchemy, if I can learn to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, wouldn't it be much easier to cultivate in the future?" ”
"I see, it seems that I also have to learn a body skill, otherwise, just by taking some things from the door, what year and month will I be able to cultivate to the foundation building period?"
Lu Dingshan sighed with emotion, and then said: "But I don't have your financial resources, and I can't support me to be self-taught on my own, I'll go back to the outer courtyard hall to see if there are any apprenticeship tasks related to the Alchemy Academy, the Refining Academy, the Fu Gong Academy, or the Array Court. ”
The two chatted and returned to their lodgings in the outer courtyard, and then went home separately.
Back at his residence, Qingyang closed the formation outside the courtyard, and then took out the Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique Jade Slip. When he was in the Gongfa Pavilion, Qingyang just briefly looked at the opinions of the exercises, because there was a ban on the jade slip, and he didn't know the specific content of the jade slip.
This Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique is Qingyang's main practice in the future, and he may have to practice this exercise for the rest of his life, and its importance can be seen, and now that he has returned to his residence, he finally can't wait to take it out.
Qingyang carefully separated a trace of divine thought, and probed into the jade slip, the jade slip seemed to be stimulated, and then a large amount of information rushed into Qingyang's mind. Qingyang's mind was dizzy for a while, and it took a long time to slowly recover, this was because the amount of information contained in the jade slip was too large, and his primordial spirit was relatively fragile and couldn't adapt to it for a while.
