Chapter Forty-Six: Psicosm

The Spirit Eye Technique can be said to be one of the most important spells for Qi Refining Stage cultivators.

Whether it's detecting other people's cultivation, or observing the presence or absence of aura, or observing the soul body.

It was extremely difficult for a Qi Refining Cultivator who did not have divine sense to do it with the naked eyes, and all of this required the use of spiritual eye techniques.

However, Ye Chen found that such a spell was very easy to cultivate.

It is simpler than some spells in the early stage of Qi refining, as long as the strength of the divine soul is enough, there is almost no threshold for cultivation.

Ye Chen cultivated hard according to what the jade slip said, and five days later, when he gathered his mana in a certain route to his eyes, he suddenly found that everything in front of him was clear.

A strange sensation like putting on glasses after taking eye drops, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear and bright.

Everything around it seems to have a film of light attached to it.

Looking down at the jade slip in his hand, he could find a layer of fluorescence on the jade slip.

Ye Chenfu to his heart: "This is the aura." ”

He took out some objects and found that whether it was a flying sword or a spirit grass elixir, he could find aura.

It looks so different from those ordinary things, you can see it at a glance.

Even the aura of different attributes has different colors.

Ye Chen was like a child with a new toy, and he began to keep trying.

But what made him a little puzzled was that for some reason, there was no aura on the quaint ring "Black Light Ring" from the old man Yan.

He didn't dare to urge the mana injection here, as far as the appearance was concerned, this black light ring was under the spirit eye technique, and he couldn't see the slightest aura existing.

After studying left and right for a while and still couldn't figure it out, Ye Chen suddenly reacted, he had practiced the Spirit Eye Technique, didn't that mean that he could go to Uncle Wang to learn alchemy?

……

"The so-called elixir is what the world calls elixir, elixir, and pill, and the monks collectively refer to them as elixirs."

"After refining, in order to facilitate preservation and consumption, it is mainly made into the shape of the pill, of course, there are also reasons why the shape of the pill is more in line with the cognition of heaven and earth, and it is easier to gather medicinal power......

"Pills are not only limited to pills, but also have various forms such as loose pills and liquid medicines, but they are not mainstream......

In front of the Dan furnace, Uncle Wang was chattering there, even if Ye Chen had memorized these things, he still listened very carefully.

Not to mention anything else, just because Uncle Wang was willing to teach him a small stove for free for so long, it was impossible for him to have any attitude problems when others were lecturing.

Regarding the detailed description of the elixir, Ye Chen already had a draft in his heart.

And the principle of alchemy can be summed up in just one sentence.

Through refining or other means, the useful parts of the spirit grass or other materials are extracted, mixed with other materials, and finally made into an elixir with special medicinal powers, which can be taken by monks.

Alchemy can be said to be one of the most effective ways to make use of the treasures of heaven and earth that human monks have researched since their birth.

Humans were able to drive out other races such as demons and demons and occupy this world, and the elixir also contributed to it.

At first glance, it seems that the steps of alchemy and mortal doctor's medicine are similar.

But in reality, the process of alchemy is too complicated for mortals to imagine.

Even the simplest Qi Inducing Pill has to go through the four most basic steps of liquidization, extraction, melting Dan, and Cheng Dan before it can be formed.

And these steps are all extremely complicated, if there is a problem with one of them, then the alchemy will fail, and the final refined pill will greatly damage the medicinal power at best, and become a waste pill, a poison pill, or even turn into ashes!

Because the process is very complex, the alchemy rate is very low.

Qingyun Sect Dantang's requirement for qualified entry-level alchemists is that the refining power of the Ascension Pill can reach more than fifty percent.

Don't look like fifty percent is not high, there are many disciples in the Dan Hall who have studied alchemy for several years or even decades, but they may not be able to achieve this success rate!

Alchemy also attaches great importance to talent, and at the same time, it also attaches great importance to accumulation.

As the saying goes, only the hand is familiar, and the same is true for alchemy, a first-level alchemist who has refined the Qi Induction Pill thousands of times, the success rate of refining the Qi Inducing Pill will not necessarily be much worse than those second-level or even third-level alchemists.

But the cost of this accumulation is huge.

Not only that, but even alchemy apprentices need a lot of money if they want to successfully refine the pill at the beginning.

This cost, except for the Immortal Cultivation Family and the sect, almost no low-level casual cultivators can afford it.

A casual cultivator in the foundation building period, generally speaking, only the financial resources to cultivate a first-level alchemist who can only refine several kinds of Qi refining stage pills.

This is because no matter what the process of alchemy is, it requires countless experiences to accumulate trial and error, and if there is a mistake in the middle, the whole furnace of the pill will be scrapped.

I don't know how many trials and errors it takes for novice alchemists to successfully get started and control the pills they refine within an acceptable range.

But this is only one elixir - when it comes to another elixir, a lot of experience has to be shattered and started all over again.

The cost of cultivating an alchemist can be seen!

Uncle Wang's lecture gave Ye Chen a lot of new understanding of alchemy.

In the end, Uncle Wang didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw over a storage bag.

Ye Chen took it and found that these storage bags were full of spirit grass, and the jade box containing the spirit grass alone filled this storage bag of inferior magic weapon quality.

"These are all medicinal materials for refining the Ascension Pill, there are twenty copies, enough for you to try alchemy for the first time."

After saying a word, Uncle Wang threw over another Dan furnace.

"This is a lower grade Dan furnace, which is standard for all disciples of the Dan Hall, although you belong to the Wai Dan Hall, you also have a quota."

"Now take this Dan furnace and go to the side to refine a pot of Dan medicine for the old man to see."

"Me?? Alchemy? ”

Ye Chen was simply shocked.

He suddenly had a "here's multiplication, here's addition, okay, let's solve this calculus problem!" A sense of déjà vu.

"Uncle, brother...... The disciple still doesn't know how to do alchemy! ”

"You won't?" Senior Uncle Wang stroked his beard, with a smile in his eyes, "The refining steps of the Ascension Pill, didn't the old man take the exam with you two days ago?" You shouldn't have any problems! ”

"This ......"

Ye Chen is really stupid.

Don't look at every step of his alchemy, he knows it by heart, but reading according to the book and real knives and guns are two different concepts!

"Don't be afraid, every alchemist has come over like this, the Spirit Ascension Pill is one of the easiest pills to refine, what's the matter, do you still want to refine the Qi Induction Pill that only needs to taste the spirit grass?"

"Disciple, disciple refining is enough!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, hugged the Dan furnace, and walked to the big pit in the center of the room.

He now knew what that device was, it was the "Earth Fire Disk", the full name of which was the Earth Fire Control Array.

There is abundant earth fire at the bottom of Luoyan Mountain, and the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect have led these earth fires to the top of the mountain in order to make full use of the earth fire.

Up to now, these earth fires are basically used for alchemy for the disciples of the Dantang Instrument Hall.

This is because the Qi refining period cultivators have not yet cultivated the foundation building true fire, and if they want to refine the pill, they can only rely on the flames of these external forces.

After setting up the Dan furnace, Ye Chen played a few magic decisions according to what he had learned before, and a wisp of earth fire appeared in the earth fire plate, which happened to be under the Dan furnace.

"Am I finally going to start refining the elixir......

Taking out the few spirit grasses needed for the Ascension Pill, Ye Chen's heart was extremely nervous, but at the same time, he was extremely excited.

He, Ye Chen, finally took the first step towards becoming an alchemist after cultivating for more than half a year!
