Qingyang also has a certain insight into the Danshu, although he has not officially refined the pill, but in terms of knowledge and techniques, he is no longer inferior to some low-level alchemy apprentices.

Some common Dan prescriptions, there are in the Gongfa Pavilion, last time Qingyang bought a few basic books in the Gongfa Pavilion, there are a lot of records, occasionally go to the lecture room of the Gonggong Institute to listen to lectures, you can also learn some advanced Dan prescriptions, so Qingyang is not short of Dan prescriptions in his hands.

Among the hundreds of elixirs that the Drunken Immortal Gourd upgraded and matured, more than 200 were the elixirs for refining the Qi Gathering Pill, and the remaining half were the materials for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill taken by the Pulse Opening Realm cultivators. Learning alchemy is definitely going from easy to difficult, and Qingyang is ready to try refining the Qi Nourishing Pill first.

There are small alchemy rooms in the courtyard where Qingyang lives, which is enough for Qingyang, a beginner, but there are not many spiritual materials left in it, and it won't take long. Spiritual materials do not belong to the ordinary materials supplied by the sect, they need to be purchased by disciples with spirit stones, and there is a supply in the main hall of the outer courtyard, and a single spirit stone can buy a lot.

When everything was ready, Qingyang began the life of retreat and alchemy, and when he adjusted his state, he first read the Dan prescription of the Qi Nourishing Pill, and then closed his eyes and went through all the steps of refining the Qi Nourishing Pill in his heart, and then opened the Dan furnace in front of him.

When the temperature of the Dan furnace reached a certain level, Qingyang reached out and took out one of the elixirs, first observed his medicinal properties, estimated the medicinal power of the year, and then skillfully removed the roots and branches on it, cut off a section and put it into the Dan furnace.

There was no time to observe how the medicinal herbs reacted in the Dan furnace, Qingyang had already taken out the second material, which was a yellow clod-like thing, called Minghuang powder, which was one of the auxiliary materials for refining the Qi Nourishing Pill, although the amount used was not large, but it was indispensable.

Qingyang's fingers twisted lightly on it, and some yellow powder fell on the palm of his hand, no need for weighing tools, Qingyang could judge that the amount of powder was just right.

While doing this, Qingyang kept paying attention to the Dan furnace in front of him, and he didn't know how long it took, he felt that the heat was almost over, he raised his hand, and the yellow powder fell into the Dan furnace, and then he heard a sizzling sound, and he didn't know what reaction happened in the Dan furnace.

At this time, Qingyang had already started the next step, he picked up a small porcelain vase from the side and opened the lid on it. A faint fragrance came to the face, this is a liquid containing a small amount of aura, called Yangyuan liquid, which is used to neutralize the various attributes of medicinal materials in Yangyuan Dan, and the amount is not large, but it is very important for Yangyuan Dan.

After waiting for about a dozen breaths, Qingyang judged that the reaction in the Dan furnace should be about the same, he pointed the porcelain bottle at the Dan furnace, and flicked it lightly three times with his little finger on the back, and three drops of light blue liquid flew up from the porcelain bottle and fell into the Dan furnace.

The liquid entered the furnace, and the medicine that had reacted violently in the original Dan furnace calmed down instantly, as if the raging fire was suddenly extinguished, although he couldn't see the movement inside, but Qingyang could guess that there must be some unknown changes going on inside.

The first few steps went smoothly, but Qingyang didn't dare to be careless at all, because there were many such steps, and a small mistake could make him lose all his achievements.

Then Qingyang took out another medicinal herb and cleaned the roots and branches on it, feeling that the medicinal power of this medicinal herb was slightly greater than the requirements on the Danfang, which might affect the final Chengdan, so Qingyang pinched a small part of his roots, and when the fire in the Dan furnace arrived, he put the part of the medicinal materials pinched off into the Dan furnace.

It may be that the step just now was not in place, which affected the reaction in the Dan furnace, and the medicinal herb had just been put into the Dan furnace, when suddenly a muffled sound came from the Dan furnace, and then everything fell silent.

Qingyang had a bad premonition in his heart, he hurriedly poked his head to look inside the Dan furnace, and found that the reaction inside had long stopped, and all the medicinal materials that had been put into it had turned into a furnace of black ash.

Alchemy is really not such a simple thing, although Qingyang is ready, but when he really fails, he still has a sense of loss in his heart. It took him a long time to adjust his mentality, clean up the Dan furnace, and prepare for the second time.

However, he didn't start immediately, but went through all the steps just now, analyzed the possible problems of the last failure, summarized the lessons of the last time, and considered how to deal with the last problem again, and then officially started.

He took out another medicinal herb, processed it with a special technique, cut off a section and threw it into the Dan furnace. Perhaps it was the last failure that affected Qingyang, but this time he was more cautious, thinking twice before making every move, and only when he felt that there was no problem would he move on to the next step.

However, this time he did not succeed because he was more cautious than before, and when all his procedures were more than halfway through, there was another muffled sound in the Dan furnace, and all the medicinal materials put into the Dan furnace turned into black ashes, and the second alchemy failed again.

Qingyang was not discouraged, but adjusted his mentality and started the third attempt.

I don't know if it was so difficult to get in touch with alchemy for the first time, or because Qingyang didn't have the talent for this, so after seven or eight days, he tried twenty or thirty times in a row, wasting hundreds of various elixir materials, and he didn't even succeed once, which made people feel anxious.

The continuous failure is not only a waste of medicinal materials, but also a great test of Qingyang's own patience and perseverance, and it is even more of a torment for the spirit and divine thoughts. Qingyang was extremely tired, and the true qi consumed could be replenished with pills, but the mental exhaustion could not be recovered in a short time.

Before he started, Qingyang had already mastered all the steps of alchemy, was familiar with various techniques and processes, and felt that the art of alchemy was nothing more than that, and everything was under his control. But when he really started to do it, he knew that everything was not as simple as he imagined, nor was it so easy, and only by doing it himself could he have the most real experience.

In these countless failures, Qingyang certainly did not gain nothing, at least two or three of them were close to success, and all the steps of alchemy were almost carried out, but at the end of the gathering of spirits, carving arrays, and painting patterns, some things appeared, which eventually led to failure.

And in these countless failures, Qingyang also benefited a lot, he had a lot of different experiences in refining pills, and he also summed up countless lessons and lessons, and Qingyang's Danshu also improved by leaps and bounds unconsciously.
