Chapter 54: Good Fire
"Elder Mo, I want to learn alchemy with you," Su Qing suddenly said to Elder Mo.
Since Su Qing cultivated, he had advanced very fast, and he had never put the pill in his eyes, Elder Mo had given him a few pills to take during the Qi period, Su Qing tried it, and the effect was not very obvious, so he gave up the idea of taking pills to assist in cultivation.
But now that his cultivation has suddenly stagnated, he can't find a place where his aura is more intense for the time being, so he has to turn around again and make up his mind about the pill.
"What's the matter, you haven't taken pills all along, why are you learning alchemy all of a sudden?"
"I feel that my cultivation has slowed down a lot recently, and I am afraid that the amount of spiritual energy required in my cultivation is too large and the supply exceeds the demand. I want to think of a way to get out of the elixir."
"Yes, your aura absorption is really enough, although there are only five layers of Qi training, but I think it is two nine layers of Qi training, and it can't catch up with your true qi reserves. However, even if you want to take the pill, you don't need to refine it yourself for the time being, don't you believe that I, the highest-ranking alchemist of the Ling Mang Sect, can't even supply your own pill?"
"Hehe, I'm not worried about this, but you are the alchemist of the entire Ling Mang Sect, not my alchemist. Furthermore, every disciple of the Ling Mang Sect who cultivates the fifth level of qi like me has a fixed supply of pills every month, and I don't want to break this rule because I am alone."
"Hehe, Su Qing, you are so young, you have such awareness and tolerance, the second elder really didn't see the wrong person. However, you are still young and have a bright future, so it is better to focus your mind on cultivation, and if you covet too much, you will inevitably lose sight of one or the other. I don't think the Second Elder will agree with your decision."
"Thank you, Elder Mo, for your concern. In fact, when it comes to my current cultivation time, I feel that as long as I have enough aura, my progress will naturally be very fast, and if I don't have enough aura, my desperate cultivation will also be a waste of time. As the saying goes, sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and I think that as long as I can refine a sufficient amount of pills for myself, my progress will naturally catch up."
There are still a lot of high-grade medicinal materials placed in Su Qing's space now, and it is definitely not possible to take them out now, at least there is no reason to explain.
Although high-level medicinal herbs are said to be medicinal herbs used by high-level monks, it does not mean that low-level monks cannot use them. It's just that the growth cycle of this medicinal herb is too long, or the conditions for growth are very harsh, and there are very few stocks in the world, so it is not the turn of low-level monks to use it.
In addition, high-grade medicinal materials are extremely strong, and when used alone or in excess, low-level monks also have the problem of whether they can withstand it. However, if the high-grade medicinal materials are appropriately reduced or mixed into the low-grade medicinal materials to refine the pill, the medicinal effect will definitely be many times higher than that of just the low-grade medicinal materials refining the pill.
"Well, if you really want to learn. The old man did not refuse, but the alchemy is a journey, extremely hard, and the cost is extremely high, at the beginning of the use of low-level medicinal materials to learn, this is easy to solve, but when it comes to the stage of refining high-grade pills, not to mention the use of a huge number of high-grade medicinal materials to practice, that is, those of us who have a certain degree of certainty in refining the finished pills, want to complete a pair of medicinal materials for refining high-grade pills, it is also extremely difficult, if you really want to learn alchemy, you must have this mental preparation, sometimes it takes years or decades to complete a pair of high-grade pill medicinal materials, it is not uncommon, not to mention that there are enough high-grade pills to practice and improve your alchemy levelγ The old man has been invading alchemy for more than 200 years, and he is only a third-level alchemist now, not that the old man's talent is too poor, but he really can't find enough high-level medicinal materials to practice and advance, I'm afraid that in his lifetime, he can only stagnate at this step. β
"I'll try it first, in life, it's always good to learn one more skill, and you can't always rely on others to prepare for yourself"
"Okay, as long as you want to learn, I will never hide my selfishness, old man, as long as I can teach, I will do my best to pass it on to you"
The first step in alchemy is to familiarize yourself with various medicinal materials and their medicinal properties.
Su Qing has a certain foundation in this regard, and when he was in the sorting room, he carefully read a lot of information on basic medicinal materials.
What is lacking now is the knowledge of high-level medicinal materials, Elder Mo gave Su Qing a jade talisman called the Strange Herb Sutra, and asked Su Qing to read this medicinal scripture carefully first.
The scope of the Sutra of Strange Herbs is quite extensive, and the records of high-grade medicinal materials are also relatively comprehensive.
Another important part of alchemy is fire.
Monks with fire attribute spiritual roots, practicing fire attribute exercises, after the foundation building period, a kind of real fire will be generated in the body, if used for alchemy, it will be much better than artificially created fire, the refining of medicinal properties will be more thorough, and the quality of the pill will be higher.
Above Elder Mo's Qi Yun Peak, there were nearly ten Alchemy Cave Mansions, and the fire provided in these Alchemy Cave Mansions was a kind of earth fire.
The earth fire is much stronger than the fire ignited by the charcoal, but there is still a gap compared to the true fire of the monks in the foundation building period, so these alchemy cave mansions are basically for those disciples in the qi cultivation period.
As soon as Su Qing heard Elder Mo introduce the true fire of the foundation building period cultivator, he suddenly thought that there was also a small flame in his dantian now, and the flame generated in his body was constantly replenishing this flame when he was cultivating.
Su Qing didn't know if this flame had any effect on alchemy, and he hadn't tried what this flame could do until now, so he told Elder Mo about the flame.
When Elder Mo heard this, he was immediately taken aback.
He has lived for more than two hundred years, and he has not heard that a monk in the Qi cultivation period can produce flames in his body, but there are too many things that surprise him on Su Qing, and after being surprised for a while, he is not surprised, and let Su Qing release the flame for him to see.
"How to release it?" asked Su Qing puzzled.
When Elder Mo heard this, his eyes widened: "What's the matter, you have never used this flame?"
"I don't know how to use it."
Elder Mo began to roll his eyes again.
If someone else has a flame in their body, they must have already made a fuss without understanding it, for fear of bringing some harm to themselves. This kid is good, he is silent, but he can calm down.
"Use your mind to control the direction of the flame, and use your mind to urge it, like this," Elder Mo said, as soon as he stretched out his fingers, a small flame suddenly appeared on his fingertips, and it kept changing, long and short, and when it was long, it was a foot and a half long.
"Oh" Su Qing looked at it, and also felt very interesting, and according to Elder Mo's instructions, he stretched out a finger and pointed ahead.
"Whew" An arm-thick, blazing flame spewed out from Su Qing's fingertips, spewing out more than two meters away at once, and in just a short moment, it baked the surrounding air like an air explosion, making a crackling and popping sound.
Thanks to the direction that Su Qing's finger was pointing at, it was not Elder Mo. If this flame sprays on the body, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, a transparent hole will be burned in the body.
Elder Mo was more than half a meter away from the flames, and even so, he still baked half of Elder Mo's clothes on fire, so frightened that Elder Mo jumped up all of a sudden, and tossed and beat before extinguishing the flames.
"Is this the flame in your body?" Elder Mo didn't care about the burning pain just now, let alone the smoke that was still smoking, and looked at Su Qing with a look of disbelief.
"I, I didn't know it would be like this, Elder Mo, are you okay?" When the flames just erupted, Su Qing was also startled, and hurriedly stopped urging, and the flames were extinguished, surrounding Elder Mo and hurriedly asked, lest Elder Mo be hurt by anything.
"Leave me alone, are you sure that fire came out of your body?"
"yes, or where else would you come from?"
"This, this, I have been cultivating for more than two hundred years, and I can only emit flames more than a foot long, you have only cultivated for a few days, and you have reached this level, this, this is the true power of the Holy Fire Dragon Technique" Elder Mo still couldn't believe it, as if he was talking to himself.
"Elder Mo, you said that just now was the longest flame you emitted, so how can I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?" Su Qing was also shocked by his own experiment.
"It's a good fire, it's a fire, this fire is much hotter than my real fire, I don't know how much hotter, no wonder you want to learn alchemy, alchemy is good, alchemy is good, if you don't learn alchemy, it's too much of a waste of such a good fire." β
