"Senior brother, look, this is the Dragon Tiger Pill Furnace used by Master Zu when he was alchemizing in the dojo at the western foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Later, after the Heavenly Master's Mansion was rebuilt, this furnace was moved here. ”

As soon as he entered the Dan room, Zheng Wen whispered to Zhang Zhuo mysteriously, which made Zhang Zhuo feel a little inexplicable.

I saw that in the center of the Danfang, there was a three-foot high platform, there was a stove on the platform, there was a furnace on the stove, there was a tripod in the furnace, and there was a divine room in the tripod.

This Dan furnace is simple and vigorous, there is more than one person high, and there is a dragon and a tiger entrenched on the furnace, lifelike. Just look closely, the dragon and tiger are like pearls covered with dust, and there is a faint treasure light.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhuo felt a trace of fear for no reason, with a certain expectation in the fear, and some sadness, all kinds of emotions repeatedly pulled in his heart, making him suddenly a little distraught.

"Who?" Zhang Zhuo was on guard and looked around.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Wen was taken aback by Zhang Zhuo and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Zhuo stared at the row of quiet rooms to the north of the Danfang, and it was there that brought him a kind of complex and incomprehensible emotion, which made his heart pound.

"Senior brother, are you okay, that is the quiet room of Dan Master's alchemy, and you can't enter without the corresponding forbidden token...... Besides, how can the Dan furnace in it be compared with the Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace in front of him, I think this Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace was a world-renowned Lingbao Dan Furnace, and it can even refine the elixir. ”

Zheng Wensheng was afraid that Zhang Zhuo would act impulsively, so he was just talking big casually, how could this alchemy hall really run unimpeded, at least with his identity as a disciple in charge.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I know ......" Zhang Zhuo himself couldn't explain what was going on with that unexplained feeling, so naturally he wouldn't make a fuss, and quickly turned his attention back to the legendary Dragon and Tiger Pill furnace in front of him.

"Senior brother, can you tell me what the Lingbao Pill Furnace is?" Although Zhang Zhuo knew that the talisman was divided into one to nine grades from low to high, presumably the spiritual weapon and the elixir should be divided in the same way, but he had never heard of the Lingbao Dan Furnace.

Zheng Wen smiled, thinking that this is almost the same, the Lingbao Dan furnace is in front, and the junior brother still has the mind to look around, it turns out that he doesn't know the goods!

"Senior brother, do you know that the spiritual weapons of this immortal cultivation realm are divided into nine grades from low to high, with one grade being the lowest and nine grades being the highest. Although nine is the extreme number, but above the nine products, there are still spiritual treasures. ”

Speaking of the word Lingbao, Zheng Wen paused slightly, wanting to sell a pass, but Zhang Zhuo did not answer, and was a little embarrassed at this time.

"Uh...... In fact, according to the power of the utensils themselves, the nine products are the best, and the power of some spiritual treasures may not be comparable. But the reason why Lingbao is different from spiritual weapons is precisely because it gives birth to spiritual wisdom. Once the refined artifact is born into a spirit spirit, it is out of the category of spirit weapons and becomes a spirit treasure. Although the power of the spirit treasure itself may not reach the ninth grade at this time, it can continue to grow stronger with the growth of the machine spirit, and finally reach the extreme of the ninth grade. ”

Zhang Zhuo listened very carefully, and asked puzzled at this time: "In this way, the spirit treasure may not be stronger than the spirit weapon?" ”

Zheng Wen smiled slightly, shook his head: "No, no, no, just take the sword and these attacking spirit treasures, even a ninth-grade spirit weapon may not be comparable to a seventh- or eighth-grade spirit treasure, you must know that the spirit treasure is blessed by the instrument spirit, and the increase in power is very terrifying."

Moreover, the spiritual treasure can slowly grow with the master's cultivation realm, but the nine-grade spiritual weapon needs to be cultivated during the tribulation period to control it, and they are all immortal characters who have ascended to the sky, and there are only a handful of them from ancient times to the present. Let's put it this way, even if you get the Nine Rank Spirit Weapon, you won't be able to use it. ”

"I see...... So how many spiritual treasures does this Dragon and Tiger Pill Furnace belong to? Zhang Zhuo looked at this legendary Lingbao Dan furnace intently, and his interest increased greatly.

"In fact, there is no grade of Lingbao, but in order to facilitate the understanding of my junior disciple, I made a simple comparison between the power of Lingbao and the spiritual weapon." After thinking about it carefully, Zheng Wen continued:

"This Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace was once the ancestral master's natal Dan furnace, and its power has already reached the extreme of the nine grades, but the quality of the Dan furnace is not measured by its power, but also depends on other factors such as the degree of compatibility with the Dan Master. And the Lingbao Dan Furnace can take the initiative to fit the Dan Master, so that the Cheng Dan rate and the level of the Dan medicine are greatly increased, and this alone makes the value of the Lingbao Dan Furnace much higher than that of other attack spirit treasures.

You must know that Master Zu used this Dragon and Tiger Pill Furnace to refine the elixir back then, and it can be seen that its grade is only one step away from the immortal weapon. It's a pity that the spirit in the furnace is dead, and now it can only barely be regarded as a nine-grade spirit weapon, and no one can control it at all, so it has to be placed here and become an ornament for people to visit. ”

Zhang Zhuo sighed slightly in his heart, stroked the Dan furnace, and muttered in his mouth: "I didn't expect that this Dan Dao treasure, which everyone competed for and stirred up the world, ended up like this." ”

Sure enough, it is the top existence in the spirit treasure, after so many years, the furnace wall is still warm at the touch, quite mysterious, especially the dragon and the tiger, which are almost exactly the same as those on the jade beam of the Dan Pavilion, lifelike, as if they are about to come out.

"Senior brother, now that the Danfang has also come, and the Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace has also seen it, but I still don't know the difference between alchemy and alchemy, please ask Senior Brother to solve my doubts."

Zheng Wen pointed to the dragon and tiger on the Dan furnace, and slowly spoke: "Senior brother, remember, I said just now that the most important thing to measure the quality of a Dan furnace is to see how well it fits the Dan master. This Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace is a rare golden wood Dan furnace in the world, and the furnace is biochemical, water and fire. Longyang, which belongs to wood, makes fire; Tiger yin, gold, raw water. This yin and yang, reconcile with each other, and become the inside of the furnace. ”

Zhang Zhuo nodded as if he didn't understand, waiting for Zheng Wen to continue.

"The old heavenly master once said that the reason why this dragon and tiger pill furnace is strange is because the pill furnace once gave birth to a four-spirit divine fire, showing gold wood on the outside, and water and fire on the inside. It must be known that the Dan Fire is the core of the Dan Furnace, and the Divine Fire born with the Dan Furnace is equivalent to the existence of the spirit in the Spirit Treasure, but now that the Divine Fire has long been extinguished, this Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace will naturally return to the ordinary. ”

Zhang Zhuo didn't expect this Zheng Wenxiu to be mediocre, but he was so well-read, and couldn't help but praise: "Senior brother has extraordinary knowledge, I admire it!" I don't know if the old heavenly master you are talking about is Zhang Dunfu Heavenly Master? ”

Seeing Zhang Zhuo praising himself, Zheng Wen was suddenly overjoyed, and the pair of mung bean eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Haha, senior brother, I have been in this medicine refining hall for twenty years, and I don't know any strange secrets, which makes my junior brother laugh! However, the old Heavenly Master I just mentioned is the father of the current Heavenly Master, Zhang Xiangzhong Heavenly Master. He is the greatest alchemist of the Thirty-six Cave Heavens, and he is also the person I admire the most in my life......" Between the words, a rare solemn look appeared on Zheng Wen's face.

"Zhang Xiangzhong Heavenly Master......" Zhang Zhuo tried hard to recall the records of him in the clan notes, but in addition to knowing that he was a young heir and his Taoist skills were amazing, he didn't know much else, but he didn't expect that he was an alchemist, so he immediately said:

"Could it be that this pill and medicine room are the handiwork of the Heavenly Master?"

"Exactly!" Zheng Wen nodded and said, "Senior brother, do you know what is the most important thing for an alchemist?" ”

"Yes...... Danhuo? Zhang Zhuo glanced at the Dragon and Tiger Dan Furnace and half-guessed and half-replied.

"That's right, and the Divine Sense." Seeing Zhang Zhuo's serious expression, Zheng Wen was quite satisfied, and he spoke very carefully.

"When the monk broke through the foundation building period, the inner Dao platform of the dantian was first formed, and a wisp of divine soul was cultivated, which appeared in the sea of eyebrows and hearts, and since then about twenty zhang of divine consciousness has been born, and it has many wonderful uses. And for alchemy, divine consciousness is a pair of invisible hands that control everything in the Dan furnace. And the Dan Fire is the soul of the Dan Furnace, without the Dan Fire melting medicinal materials, there is no way to talk about alchemy......"

Although Zheng Wen is not an alchemist, he has been in the alchemy pharmacy for many years, and he has never eaten pork and has seen a pig run.

And although Zhang Zhuo said that he had obtained a treasure of inheritance such as "Zhengyi Baolu", no one taught him these basic common sense. Besides, there is nothing to see on the treasure record except for the talisman chapter and a small part of the formation chapter. Now that someone is willing to teach him, he naturally listens very carefully, and throws out his own questions from time to time.

"So, the decline of the Dan Pavilion now is due to the lack of Danhuo, or is it because there are too few people with strong divine sense?" Zhang Zhuo found that since he and Zheng Wen entered the Dan Room, they hadn't seen anyone so far, even a fool should know that the Dan Pavilion was not in a good situation now.

"You may not believe it, strictly speaking, there is not even a Dan Master in the Alchemy Hall today......

"What? How is this possible? The meaning of the existence of the Alchemy Hall is ......" Before Zheng Wen could finish speaking, Zhang Zhuo couldn't help but ask.

"Senior brother, don't you know, what I just said about divine consciousness and Dan Fire are the two essential elements of alchemy. However, in today's Heavenly Master's Mansion, there are only a few monks in the foundation building period, and there are even fewer who have wood and fire spirit roots and are proficient in alchemy. And now the spiritual qi of the major caves is very weak, and some blessed lands have even begun to shatter, and the rare and strange fires have not been released for a hundred years. Even if a strange fire is born, it is in vain that no one can collect it as a Danhuo. ”

Zhang Zhuo suddenly remembered that he had crossed over from the next life, and he only cared about sighing at the richness of the aura of Longhu Mountain now, but he didn't realize that nine hundred years later, the aura in this world was already so scarce that he could not cultivate. Now it seems that this sign of weakening of the aura has appeared as early as the Northern Song Dynasty.

"This weakening of the aura is the trend of the times...... Could it be that the Heavenly Master has a way to deal with it? ”

Hearing the word Heavenly Master, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Zheng Wen's face:

"As the most well-known Dan Master of the Thirty-six Cave Heavens, the Old Heavenly Master naturally noticed this early. On the one hand, he recruited a wide range of disciples, hoping to leave a legacy, and on the other hand, he sent more people to search for rare and strange fires in various caves, blessed lands, and famous mountains and scenic spots, but with little success. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Wen's expression became a little excited:

"The Heavenly Master is really a heavenly man. After three years of retreat, he actually developed an independent water alchemy technique from the traditional alchemy of water and fire, and opened up a vein of alchemy. He took the Danding in the Dan furnace independently, and used his divine sense to manipulate the spiritual water to wash the medicinal materials and purify the medicine, replacing the original method of melting the medicinal materials with the Dan fire at the bottom of the Dan furnace.

It's just that without the assistance of Danhuo, this method has quite high requirements for the Danshi's divine consciousness, and in the final Dan stage, the Danshi's divine consciousness is basically exhausted, and often only one or two pills can be refined, and the Dan attainment rate is greatly reduced. ”

Feeling the unwillingness in Zheng Wen's words, Zhang Zhuo smiled and comforted: "It's already very good, if it weren't for the Heavenly Master to create the water refining technique, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't even have to take the pill now." ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Wen shook his head helplessly:

"There are fewer and fewer medicinal materials produced in the blessed land of the cave, and the pills are even more difficult to find, and now the Qi Gathering Pills used to break through the small realm of the Qi Refining Period have become rare things, and the Fuzhong has to order all the pills to be supplied to the Zhang family first, even if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Master, you need to make great contributions in exchange for it, and the outside market has already sold it at a sky-high price. For us miscellaneous disciples, in fact, the immortal path has long been cut off......"

Only then did Zhang Zhuo understand why the cultivation of the miscellaneous disciples in the alchemy hall he had seen was so low, and most of them were stuck in the third layer of qi refining, and they could not break through to the middle stage of qi refining. Even Steward Wang, as well as Ye Yunjiao, a dignified disciple of the Heavenly Master, were stuck in the sixth layer of qi refining, as if they had not been able to advance an inch for many years.

The situation in the Heavenly Master's Mansion looks a little bad this time......

"Huh? What's going on with this Dan furnace? ”

Just as Zhang Zhuo was meditating, he suddenly felt a pain in his eyebrows. He found that the Dragon and Tiger Pill Furnace in front of him was trembling inexplicably, and the movement was getting louder and louder. The dragon and tiger on the Dan furnace seemed to be awakened by some kind of power, as if they had come to life, as if they were about to break out of the furnace.

"This ......" Even Zheng Wen was frightened by this sudden change.

Outside the Dan room, the two gatekeeper disciples also discovered the movement here, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they rushed all the way, shouting violently:

"What are you two doing?"
