Chapter Thirty-Eight: Qi Condensation Alchemy
"Master, we're back!" As soon as they returned to the dilapidated courtyard, Shi Tuo and Xiao Tao shouted inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Old Man Mi was sitting in the main hall at this time, with his back to the two of them, and he didn't hear the shouts of the two of them.
I saw the large furnace in the main hall, which was making a muffled sound at this time, as if something was scurrying inside. The lid of the large stove also began to shake slightly, as if it was about to be swept away by the gas.
When Old Man Mi heard this muffled sound, his hands began to dance in front of him, as if he was pulling a certain breath. And with the movement of his hands, the muffled sound in the big stove gradually subsided, and finally disappeared.
When the whole furnace was completely calm, the lid of the furnace was opened, and a round, golden but inconspicuous elixir flew into his hand. And the stove, which seemed to be boiling something, didn't even have a trace of heat.
Shi Tuo was fascinated, even if he was a layman who didn't know alchemy at all, he also felt that this kind of alchemy was extraordinary.
"What, do you feel that this alchemy is acceptable?" Old Man Mi had already swept Shi Tuo's surprised expression with his divine sense, smiled secretly, and asked.
"Master, your old man laughed, the apprentice thinks that this kind of alchemy is mysterious and abnormal, how can it be more than acceptable?" Shi Tuo was excited about this kind of mysterious alchemy in his heart, and couldn't help but have the desire to learn.
"Hmph, you only know the subtlety of this alchemy, but you don't know how mysterious it is, present the medicinal materials you have collected!" Old Man Mi talked about alchemy, his face was radiant, and when he heard this, he was even more complacent.
Shi Tuo presented all the medicinal materials collected this time. Although the amount of collection is not indicated on the white paper, these low-level medicinal herbs are generally several plants growing together. Shi Tuo naturally picked a few more plants at one time. When encountering some duplicate medicinal materials, they will also be collected easily.
Old Man Mi took out more than a dozen medicinal materials from it, which constituted a pill prescription, and said, "Look at it, I will use the general alchemy technique to refine this most basic Qi Cultivation Pill!"
Pei Qi Pill is an elixir for cultivators below the seventh level of Qi cultivation to assist in cultivation, which can be said to be the most basic entry-level elixir used by monks, and it is also the easiest pill to refine.
But Shi Tuo looked at the Peiqi Pill that Old Man Mi had refined with ordinary methods, and the steps were cumbersome. Each medicinal material has to be refined separately, and when the medicinal powder is refined, the hot gas is steaming, and the spiritual nature of the medicinal material escapes. When it comes to becoming a pill, the powder is poured into the liquid medicine one by one, and then the liquid medicine is condensed into a pill.
It took only two hours for a mere furnace of Qi Cultivation Pill to be refined. Old Man Mi pulled out nine pills from the furnace, put them into a vial, handed them to Shi Tuo, and said, "Look at these pills, what do you think?"
Shi Tuo took out a Peiqi Pill from the vial, and saw that the surface of the pill was full of aura and good color, which was similar to the appearance of the best pill that Xiao Tao had explained to Shi Tuo.
"Master's alchemy attainments are really profound, and he has actually refined the best elixir. Shi Tuo held the pill in his hand and said to Old Man Mi.
Old man Mi heard this, but his face showed a trace of displeasure: "Is that all?"
Shi Tuo's eyes rolled, and he added: "It's just that the disciple looks at this elixir, compared to the alchemy pill that the master used before, it is still inferior in refining techniques. ”
Old Man Mi looked at Shi Tuo, his face showed a hint of surprise, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, and he asked again: "Oh? Then you can tell me, where is the magic of Jindan's refining?"
Shi Tuo doesn't have a deep understanding of pills, but he has a strong comprehension ability and can touch the class.
People seek pragmatism, and he knows that a glamorous appearance does not mean that life is superior, but whether it is in line with personal pursuits. The pill is a thing that gathers spirits, and the pursuit of nature is to gather the spiritual essence of medicinal materials, not to appear to be full of spiritual energy, but to see how much spiritual power is gathered in the pill.
The golden pill refined by Old Man Mi before, in the process of becoming a pill, the breath did not escape at all, and after becoming a pill, the aura was not visible.
Shi Tuo guessed that the refining method of this golden pill not only greatly reduced the escape of the spirituality of the medicinal herbs in the refining. Moreover, the breath after becoming a pill is not obvious, which makes this pill able to maintain full spirituality for a longer time.
He truthfully expressed the thoughts in his heart: "The disciple has shallow knowledge, but he speculates in vain, there are two wonders of the golden pill! First, during the refining, the loss of medicinal power is almost not counted; second, after becoming a pill, the locking of medicinal power is far beyond the ordinary!"
After hearing Shi Tuo's reply, Old Man Mi's eyes lit up, his eyes burned, and he laughed and said, "Okay, good! What kind of nonsense is this? This is the true meaning of this sect's Qi Condensing Alchemy Technique, and it was actually broken by you in one word." Master, it seems that you have a successor after the Dan Surgery!"
As he spoke, Old Man Mi stood up and bowed to the portrait hanging in the main hall with excitement on his face.
Seeing this, Shi Tuo couldn't help but feel infected by Old Man Mi's emotions at this time, and decided that he must carry forward the alchemy of his own sect.
Old man Mi calmed down his excitement, turned around, held the golden pill in his hand, and said to Shi Tuo: "This is the inheritance pill of this sect, which has been passed down by my master, I have used these two days to integrate my lifelong alchemy perception into it, and now I will hand it over to you!"
Shi Tuo waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and at the same time, he was also moved by the trust in Old Man Mi in his heart, and he had only been in the house for two days, and the other party passed on the treasure of the sect to himself.
"Never, Master, the apprentice has only been getting started for two days, and he should start from the basics, such a treasure, the apprentice may not be able to afford it. ”
Old man Mi was unhappy, pulled Shi Tuo's sleeve, and said:
"Eh, now that you are the only heir of my Dan Grass Hall, this inheritance Dan will be passed on to you sooner or later. Moreover, the master said at the beginning that he should be placed in a person with strong comprehension ability, and now you have broken through the mystery of the Dan technique of this sect in one word, and naturally meets the conditions for inheritance.
As for the alchemy foundation, this inheritance pill is even more detailed and abnormal, you hold this pill, while comprehending, while refining the foundation, the two are not wrong!"
When Shi Tuo heard this, he accepted the inheritance pill. However, when he looked at Old Man Mi, he still felt that he was a little worried, and he always felt that he was a little too eager to pass on the Danjutsu.
And before he could continue to ask Old Man Mi what was on his mind, Xiao Tao on the side was not happy.
Since entering the door, Shi Tuo and Old Man Mi have been talking about pills, and they have been hanging her aside for three or four hours. The strange things she encountered on the mountain, the grievances in her heart, haven't told the master yet!
She knew that this was Master's Dan idiot who had another attack, and at this time, seeing that Shi Tuo was a cultivable material for alchemy, it was like obtaining a treasure, and she kept tugging.
"Oh, how long have you two been talking about the pills!Master, you don't even ask us if there is any danger on the mountain this time!" Xiao Tao yelled at Old Man Mi.
When Old Man Mi heard this, he came back to his senses from his explanation to Shi Tuo and asked Xiao Tao about the things on the mountain. As soon as Xiao Tao heard Old Man Mi ask her, she became interested and told her about the things on the mountain.
When Old Man Mi heard that evil cultivators were infested, he was shocked. Then he looked at Shi Tuo, his eyes revealed a bit of scrutiny, and asked Shi Tuo if he had practiced physical cultivation, Shi Tuo naturally shook his head again and again.
When Old Man Mi talked about hearing that certain foreign fruits could change his physique, Shi Tuo's eyes lit up, and he pretended to have a vague memory, saying that he seemed to have eaten all kinds of fruits indiscriminately because he was too hungry when he was young. Perhaps it was one of them that changed his physique.
Hearing this, Old Man Mi was skeptical, but he seemed to have no intention of delving. It's just that he repeatedly told Shi Tuo to comprehend the inheritance pill and study alchemy diligently. Immediately, he comforted Xiao Tao again, and also told her about the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world for the first time.
This made Xiao Tao, who had always thought that the immortal cultivation world was a fairyland on earth, had a trace of awe for this world for the first time.
At this time, Xiao Tao seemed to know what Shi Tuo was thinking, and suddenly asked Old Man Mi about physical cultivation.
"Physique, this is a very old legend. In short, in my life, I have never really encountered physical cultivation.
It is rumored that in ancient times, physical cultivation was a type of monk, who was physically strong and could not spell, but the body technique was extremely fast, and had an overwhelming advantage over ordinary monks in close combat.
At that time, physical cultivation did not simply exist. There are many monks who practice ordinary exercises at the same time as they also follow the path of physical cultivation. This made the monks of ancient times much more powerful than the monks of today.
Later, perhaps due to a lack of resources, it became extremely difficult for the monks to take the path of physical cultivation, which led to the loss of the physical cultivation lineage. To this day, physical cultivation is really rare for ordinary monks. ”
Old Man Mi stared ahead, as if he was trying his best to search for the memories in his mind, perhaps these legends were told to him by his master who came from nowhere.
"Oh, how to divide the realm of physical cultivation, and what is the realm of physical cultivation that is equivalent to the peak strength of foundation building?" Xiao Tao glanced at Shi Tuo, and asked Old Man Mi playfully.
Old Man Mi came back to his senses from his far-reaching memories and replied, "I don't know the realm of physical cultivation. I only know that physical cultivation is divided into three major realms, which are the mortal body realm, the virtual body realm, and the king body realm. As for the monk who is equivalent to the peak of foundation building, it should be the peak of the mortal realm. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Tao suddenly turned her head to Shi Tuo proudly and said, "Little junior brother, you are the peak of the mortal realm!"
Shi Tuo was taken aback by Xiao Tao's sudden reintroduction of the old story, so he could only laugh dryly twice and said, "Is it? I'm at the top? I didn't expect me to be so powerful!"
Xiao Tao saw that Shi Tuo himself didn't know why, so he left this topic, and Shi Tuo also asked Old Man Mi for instructions, saying that he was going to visit the Inheritance Pill. When Old Man Mi heard this, he naturally immediately agreed.
"Whew!" returned to the room, and Shi Tuo exhaled lightly. The matter of the physical cultivation just now really annoyed him. In the face of the questions of the two, Shi Tuo was really difficult to explain.
Calming his mind, Shi Tuo took out the elixir that was not obvious, but the golden light was all over his body, the Inheritance Pill, and then sank his divine sense into it.
The first thing that came to mind was the words "Qi Condensation Alchemy", and Shi Tuo felt that these five words were very appropriate. Because compared to ordinary alchemy, it is indeed condensed even the escaping aura.
However, looking down further, Shi Tuo realized that this kind of alchemy was far more simple than what he saw, and its advantages were not limited to the two that Shi Tuo had seen.
