Chapter 205: Concocting Pills (2)

Liang Hu sat on the floor with his upper body strong, his eyes staring at the jade plate in front of him, and the horn tattoo was clearly revealed on his chest, making Liang Hu look like an indescribable wild charm. On the jade plate, a large mass of finely polished and evenly stirred herb powder was automatically rotating without wind, like a whirlpool, and every time Liang Hu's strong chest rose and fell, these medicinal herb essence powders would shrink inward in a very rhythmic circle, tightly combining with each other, until the volume slowly decreased, turning into a pill the size of a dragon's eye.

In a jade carved box on Liang Hu's right hand, three pills of the same size lay quietly in it, after the milky white Yin Yuan mushroom mixed with various excipients to refine into the elixir, it emitted a blue halo, and the stronger the medicinal power contained, the deeper the color on the surface of the pill, these three dragon's eye size pills have shown a blue color close to the sky, compared to the one that Liang Hu is refining, it only shows a faint light blue, which indicates that it is still the last step away from the success of refining.

Liang Hu exhaled a breath of turbidity, his expression was not ecstatic because the pill in front of him was about to be completed, but became more and more thick, the water system condensation method in the alchemy, the first series of steps are all foreshadowing, only the last Yun Dan step is the most critical, if you can't perfectly integrate the medicinal materials in this step, the previous Qi Qi will be wasted, Liang Hu can't help but pay no attention to it, he stretched out two fingers and put it on the jade plate to volley the void, as if dragging a thousand tons of weight to control the pill suspended in mid-air, and strive to make the entire Yun Dan process perfect。

The life span of Yin Yuan Mushroom increases by one epoch, and the medicinal power contained in it is almost doubled, Liang Hu when refining those Three Epoch Ning Yuan Pills for the old man of the Yi family, it takes almost an hour to condense each one, and the Ning Yuan Pill he is now refining for Yao Xueqing and Qin Ruoyun, the main material is Yin Yuan Mushroom of five epoch years, which means that the effectiveness of the pill is at least four times that of the previous ones, so the energy and time consumed by Liang Hu in the refining process naturally doubled, Rao is Liang Hu has successfully built the foundation, and when he entered the Yun Dan stage, he still couldn't help but feel both mental and physical exhaustion。

Liang Hu casually stimulated a cool talisman for himself, and continued to concentrate on the pill that had formed in front of him, after almost half an hour of Yun Dan, the medicinal powder suspended above the jade plate had completely turned into an oval-shaped pill, and a faint water-based aura emanated from it. Liang Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but when he reached out and pinched the pill, the latter suddenly burst open and turned into countless tiny medicine powders sprinkled on the jade plate, so that Liang Hu, who had failed to succeed, couldn't help but pat his head in annoyance, but he was completely helpless.

"Alas, what a pity, this is my third consecutive failure!" Liang Hu adjusted his mentality and said to himself: "Is there a problem with my technique, or is my skill insufficient, or my energy is not concentrated enough? But fortunately, although the success rate of the water system condensation method is a little lower, it will not waste medicinal materials after failure, otherwise, I will only get three pills after refining ten times before and after, such a big loss will really hurt to death. ”

After Liang Hu finished speaking, he reached into the jade box and put a refined Ning Yuan Dan, put it in the palm of his hand and played with it carefully, this nine-grade high-grade pill does not seem to be of high grade, but it is very suitable for monks in the early stage of qi refining, I believe that whether it is Yao Xueqing or Qin Ruoyun, in the case of taking this pill for a long time, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will increase by at least 10% compared to other monks, don't look at this number is not eye-catching, over time, it will naturally be easier to sense the qi machine in advance than other monks to cause quantitative changes.

According to the records in the alchemy book obtained by Liang Hu, the characteristics of the pills are different, some pills such as Ning Yuan Dan can be taken for a long time, this kind of pill only has the best effect on monks of specific strength, after taking one pill, the medicinal power contained in the pill will be released smoothly and slowly in the body, so that the monk can benefit from it for a period of time and get additional benefits. However, the effectiveness of this elixir will gradually decrease as the strength of the monk increases, and when the strength of the monk exceeds this range of influence, it is like Liang Hu who has already built a foundation, even if he eats a hundred Ning Yuan Dan at a time, it is useless.

Another kind of pill will produce a very strong effect immediately after taking it, to help the monk achieve twice the effect with half the effort, such as the Zhuji Dan that Master Compassion prayed for, this kind of pill is also only suitable for monks within a certain range, it is the best effect when taking it for the first time, if you continue to take the second pill, the effect will be greatly reduced or even completely ineffective, and it is impossible to take the shortcut to the south by stacking the medicinal power.

No matter what kind of pill, when refining, we must pay attention to the perfect match of monarchs and ministers, this is the uniqueness of alchemy, any alchemy monk refining the pill, for the five elements of mutual restraint is not so much evasive, Liang Hu, who majored in the gold system of law decision, can also take the foundation building period pill refined by the main material of the fire system, there will be no conflict similar to the practice of destroying the miè, but the medicinal effect will be slightly weakened, it is definitely not as good as the benefit of the foundation building period monk who majored in fire system law decision to take the same pill.

Of course, the five elements are still in existence, if Liang Hu wants to get the best effect when taking auxiliary pills, he must first choose the pill refined from the main material of the earth system, if he is ready to get more help when he is ready to hit the bottleneck, there is no doubt that it must be the pill refined from the same gold main material as his natal method, but this best effect is at most a little stronger, compared to the great help brought by the pill itself, it is not obvious, so under normal circumstances, there is no need to pursue the limit for this, and there is no capital to pursue this limit, and now the materials for social cultivation are rareIt's good enough to be able to find something that helps you, how can you be so picky?

After resting for a while, Liang Hu continued to refine the eleventh eleventh pill, he had prepared a total of twelve materials, and he had only succeeded three times so far, and there was still a lot of work to be done. By the time Liang Hu had forgotten to sleep and eat to refine the twelfth Azure Fifth Era Ning Yuan Pill, it was already seven days later, and it had taken him half a month to retreat and cultivate this time. During this period, except for Ling Bingxue sending in some food and water every two days, Liang Hu had no contact with the outside world, his mind was full of things related to alchemy, he felt hungry and ate some ham and bread at will, and when he felt tired, he either meditated cross-legged or lay down and fell asleep, which was no different from the days when he was an otaku at home before, Liang Hu had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

The most important reason why this time lasted so long was that Liang Hu had just started alchemy, and the success rate was inevitable, the experience of his previous life could only help him, but it could not replace Liang Hu's behavior, and he still needed countless exercises to recover to his peak state. After putting away all the things to avoid, Liang Hu opened the door and walked out, stepping on the soft carpet under his feet, he smelled the aroma of food in the air, so that Liang Hu couldn't help but move his index finger, and when he came to the restaurant, he found that everyone was sitting around eating hot pot, and it was also unique to enjoy the spicy and mellow seafood hot pot with the air conditioner on the hot summer.

"Yes, yes, although he looks a little haggard, but his spirit is still strong, it seems that your injuries are almost better!" Yu Fei said vaguely, although he was a monk in the foundation building period, he sat here without any shelf at all, but like a man in the market, he kept eating seastuffs in his mouth, and then drank a bottle of cold beer with a pain in his neck, letting out a satisfied and pleasant sigh. After dropping the empty bottle, Yu Fei pouted at the side of the table and said, "Come, sit down and drink a few bottles, we are monks, not ascetics, if we can't enjoy the happiness of life, then what is the purpose of hard pranayama?"

Yu Fei's statement made Liang Hu deeply convinced, after he sat down, a Qianqian jade hand with a malachite ring appeared in front of Liang Hu, poured him full of beer, Liang Hu looked along his arm, and found that it was Qin Ruoyun, it seems that Yu Fei's efficiency is also quite high, and it only took ten days and a half months to complete the magic weapon. After finding Liang Hu staring at him, Qin Ruoyun smiled and said to him: "Senior Yu's skills are exquisite, this ring is so in line with my heart, many times I can't tell my own feelings, but Senior Yu can easily express it for me." ”

"I was a well-known carver back then, if it weren't for the chance to get the inheritance of the ancient monks among the ancient jade, I would definitely continue to sit there with white hair and carve all kinds of jade now. Yu Fei said a little arrogantly, and then he asked Liang Hu with a hint of curiosity: "Liang Hu, if it's convenient, let's also tell me how you got started, right? I see that you are only twenty years old, have you been cultivating since you were three or five years old?"

"Me?" Yu Fei's question reminded Liang Hu of a long, long time ago, and he was also inherited in a piece of jade pendant, perhaps because monks in ancient times liked to use jade slips to store classics. It's just that according to the history that has happened in his previous life, Liang Hu bought the jade pendant from an antique master who set up a stall when he was playing in the field when he was nearly thirty years old, so now he has no way to find that person in advance and get the ancient jade that will affect his two lives.
