Chapter 130: Alchemy Is It the Way of "Creation"?

The spiritual field has been planted, and it is still early before the harvest period.

Leave the usual daily care to the monkeys.

The four saplings used in the "Spiritual Intelligence Test" have also laid the foundation for becoming demons and have entered the observation period, and it is still too early to bear fruit.

In the following daily practice, in addition to the step-by-step Qi practice, the rest of the time was spent on alchemy and winemaking.

Alchemy and winemaking, of course, require materials.

The spiritual field planted on the island in the middle of the lake has just been sown, and of course the materials for alchemy and brewing can only be found in another way.

Well...... Let's leave it to Gao Zhengzhi to do it.

Since the war between the sect and the alliance of the four factions, although the war situation is in a stalemate, it is only a local war, but it has also made Gao Zhengzhi unemployed.

Spiritual weapons and magic weapons have become "military supplies", and the business of high integrity is completely impossible.

Gao Zhengzhi has come to Xu Ke to complain many times, and now let him buy materials, sell wine and sell pills, which is also an extra business, so that he will not be idle and panic.

Picking up the messenger, Xu Ke spoke to Gao Zhengzhi.

"Oh? The hall lord summoned the message, I don't know what to order? ”

Gao Zhengzhi said in a strange voice.

"Don't be weird."

Xu Ke scolded with a smile, and said, "Seeing that you are so idle, I found you a business." ”

"Business? Ha ha! Or the hall master cares about me! ”

As soon as he heard about the business, Gao Zhengzhi came to the heart. It's also rare for business to become a hobby.

"I'm going to make alchemy."

Xu Ke didn't talk to Gao Zhengzhi, and directly said the request, "You prepare some tools for brewing and alchemy for me, and then buy some alchemy and brewing raw materials for the Qi cultivation period, and I'll practice first." ”

"Alchemy? Winemaking? Haha, this is good! ”

Gao Zhengzhi suddenly smiled, "Ordinary pills, the sect does not control them. Spirit wine is even less regulated. It's completely open to doing business. I'll prepare the things you want right away. ”

After speaking, Gao Zhengzhi hung up the summons and went to prepare utensils and raw materials for Xu Ke in a hurry.

Xu Ke smiled, put down the communication charm, and took out a bunch of books from the storage gourd.

This is the recipe and brewing technology of various spirit wines that Zhuo Muxian gave to Xu Ke at the beginning.

Because he has never made wine, Xu Ke has not read these books, and now he is just taking them out to study.

Picking up the book, Xu Ke flipped through the volumes one by one.

These brewing recipes and brewing techniques explain in detail how to equip the raw materials of various spirit liquors and how to operate the brewing process.

The information is very detailed, the description is very specific, each step is clearly stated, and the ratio of each raw material is very precise.

Even, in the process of brewing, the concentration of spiritual power in the surrounding environment, the nature of spiritual power, and the surrounding temperature have detailed and specific requirements.

These spirit wine recipes are obviously what Zhuo Muxian has put a lot of thought into.

Anyone who gets these spirit wine recipes, as long as they are not stupid, their hands are not disabled, and they can learn how to make spirit wine under the same gourd.

For others, this kind of detailed and specific, highly operable spirit wine recipe is definitely the most convenient and practical.

However, for Xu Ke, the specific operation details and process flow are not the most important.

Xu Ke learns any skill and learns any knowledge, not just to "know how to do it", but to figure out "why to do it".

If you only want to make spirit wine, you can directly follow these recipes, and draw the gourd like this, and you can learn anything.

However, what Xu Ke wants is not only technology, but also to understand the truth.

In these spirit wine recipes, there is no "truth" involved at all, just a simple "operation technology".

Xu Ke has also learned a lot of cultivation skills.

Drawing talismans, arranging arrays, refining tools, as well as the preparation of rune paper, the deployment of spiritual ink, and the preparation of spiritual fertilizer for farming...... Wait a minute.

When learning these skills, they all found a common denominator. That is, only talk about the operation technology, not the reason.

This phenomenon is common in the spiritual world.

Why is there only "art" and not "Tao"?

This phenomenon ...... If you understand it according to the experience of Xu Ke's previous life, that is: migrant workers only need to be able to move bricks, and they do not need to understand architectural design.

Xu Ke's current contact with the cultivation world is only in the Cangmangyuan area, and his understanding of the cultivation world must be limited.

Perhaps, in the vast and vast cultivation world, the Cangmang Plain is just a "rural place", and all the monks in the Cangmang Plain are just "country buns".

How much knowledge can a group of "country buns" have?

Xu Ke sighed, the monopoly of knowledge is really everywhere!

Putting this question aside, Xu Ke continued to look at the winemaking techniques until he had read all the winemaking recipes sent by Zhuo Muxian and kept them firmly in mind.

These brewing recipes are simply "operating techniques".

It takes a lot of effort to deduce from these "operating techniques" and summarize the "truths" in them.

Gao Zhengzhi has not yet sent the tools and materials, only when the tools and materials are complete and the hands-on operation can be summarized from them.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of spiritual power swept over, and put these spirit wine recipes into the storage gourd, and Xu Ke began to study alchemy again.

Alchemy is the same, there is only "art", not "Tao".

In addition to "Identification of Medicinal Materials", "Treatment of Medicinal Materials", and "Fire Control Techniques...... In addition to these general techniques, what remains is a piece of Danfang.

In this situation of "only Danshu, no Dan Dao", for Dan masters, every Dan prescription is a new technique, which needs to be learned from scratch to master.

Even if you can refine a Jindan-level pill, if you encounter a Qi Cultivation Period Pill that you have never been exposed to, you have to learn it from scratch, and you even have to fail many times to master this pill.

However, if you have mastered the "Dan Dao" and understood the "truth" of alchemy, even if you have not touched a Dan recipe, you can understand the truth at a glance.

This is the difference between "art" and "Tao".

Xu Ke has no place to learn this "truth", so he can only rely on his own exploration and constantly summarize and summarize.

"Senior Brother Xu, oh no, hall master, I'm here!"

Just as Xu Ke was immersed in contemplation, Gao Zhengzhi called out and walked in.

"Everything was bought."

Gao Zheng raised the storage bracelet in his hand and said to Xu Ke: "The tools and raw materials for wine-making were bought by me from the Si Nong Temple Spirit Wine Workshop. The furnace and raw materials for alchemy were bought from the Danding Palace. ”

"Good work!"

Xu Ke got up with a smile and came to the "Dan Room" reserved by Kunwu Courtyard with Gao Zhengzhi.

This Dan Room has already preset a "Fire Separation Array", which can directly invoke the spiritual power of the Mixed Yuan Great Array to drive the firepower for alchemy.

Gao Zhengzhi took out the Danding, and under the command of Xu Ke, put the Danding in the "Fire Array".

"This Danding is a Jindan-level Baoding."

After placing the furnace, Gao Zhengzhi patted the furnace that was more than one person high, and said to Xu Ke: "With my ability, if I want to buy this level of Baoding, of course I can't buy it." ”

"However, after I heard that I bought it for you, the lord of the Danding Hall directly ordered someone to send a Jindan-level Baoding, and I didn't ask for a penny, and said that if you have any needs, just say it directly, don't be polite."

Speaking of this, Gao Zhengzhi squeezed his eyebrows at Xu Ke, "Senior Brother Xu...... Uh, hall master, in the future, can I use your signboard and walk sideways in the sect? ”

"Get out! You're not a crab, and you're walking sideways? ”

Xu Ke kicked Gao Zhengzhi, "Serious cultivation is the right way." What majesty, what power, is all passing clouds, and there is no use for fart. ”

"If you don't build a foundation, you only have 100 years to live. Maybe one day, I'll shut it up once, and you'll be buried in the ground. ”

After speaking, Xu Ke raised his eyes and looked at Gao Zhengzhi, "Do you want to do this?" Do you want to take a pinch of loess in 100 years? ”

"Be taught!"

Gao Zheng straightened his face and bowed to Xu Ke, "I will practice seriously and never slack off." ”

"You and I have a deep friendship, and of course I hope this friendship can last a little longer."

Xu Ke stretched out his hand and patted Gao Zhengzhi's shoulder, "The Hanhai Jinsha Gong you practiced is already the true inheritance of Jindan." Your qualifications are not bad, and if you cultivate seriously, the future can be expected. ”

"Jin Dan True Biography?"

Gao Zhengzhi's face was full of surprise, "How is it possible?" Hanhai Jinsha Gong is just a foundation building exercise......"

Speaking of this, Gao Zhengzhi turned his head to look at Xu Ke, his eyes widened, "Could it be you?" Impossible, right? Do you still have what it takes? ”

"You know, don't spread it."

Xu Ke smiled, "Hehe! I'm even bigger than you think! Boy, let's do our best! A great future awaits you! ”

Gao Zhengzhi took a deep breath and arched his hand towards Xu Ke, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard." ”

The brothers who fought together at the beginning are now going farther and farther, walking higher and higher, and if they don't work hard, they can't even see his shadow.

Since my brother is so awesome, how can I be willing to be mediocre? You have to catch up!

If you don't pay close attention to cultivation and don't work hard to cultivate, it is really possible: one day, Xu Ke came out of retreat, only to find that I had already died in the earth!

How embarrassing is this?

At this moment, Gao Zhengzhi profoundly realized that as a monk, cultivation is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

"You practice Hanhai Jinsha Gong, is there anything you don't know?"

Xu Ke asked Gao Zhengzhi while sorting out the alchemy materials sent by Gao Zhengzhi.

"Yes! And quite a few. ”

Where did Gao Zhengzhi not know that this was Xu Ke's intentional guidance? hurriedly asked Xu Ke about his doubts in his practice.

Xu Ke took the opportunity to explain the cultivation method of Hanhai Jinsha Gong from the first level of qi training, and explained it to Gao Zhengzhi in great detail, all the way to the foundation building.

"Do you understand?"

After speaking, Xu Ke asked Gao Zhengzhi.

"Got it! Got it! ”

Gao Zhengzhi nodded repeatedly, "You said it so thoroughly, if you still don't understand, then I don't have to practice." With your guidance, I estimate that the foundation should be laid by the end of this year. ”

"When you're ready to build the foundation, come to me and build the foundation!"

Xu Ke said to Gao Zheng: "I can call on the great array of spiritual power here, which is more abundant than the spiritual power in other places. ”

Xu Ke didn't say that he would help, otherwise, once a dependency mentality was formed, it would not be conducive to Gao Zheng's future cultivation.

"Huh! Needless to say? You're full of aura here, I'm definitely going to come to get it! ”

Gao Zhengzhi didn't say anything polite to Xu Ke.

This is where Xu Ke appreciates high integrity.

In the past, when Xu Ke was a disciple of the bottom of Hedongfang, Gao Zhengzhi also got along with Xu Ke like this. Now, Xu Ke is the master of the Sinong Palace, and Gao Zhengzhi still gets along with Xu Ke like this.

Subsequently, Gao Zhengzhi helped Xu Ke put the tools such as the cauldron and vat of winemaking in the backyard one by one, and then said goodbye and left.

Xu Ke walked into the "Dan Room", planning to try his hand with the basic pill "Huiqi Pill" during the Qi training period first.

"Rejuvenation Pill" is the basic pill used by monks during the Qi training period to restore their spiritual power.

This elixir is everywhere, everywhere, and it can't be more ordinary.

However, it has a very unusual effect. The Huiqi Pill is a "general-purpose" elixir, no matter what spiritual root or what kind of exercises, you can use the "Huiqi Pill" to restore spiritual power.

In the past, Xu Ke didn't think there was anything strange about the effect of the "Huiqi Pill".

Now it seems that the "knowledge" and "truth" contained in this are not simple.

What method can be used to make the spiritual power of a pill adapt to all spiritual roots, adapt to all exercises, and achieve a "universal" effect?

Could it be that the "Huiqi Pill" still has the effect of "mixing elements and one qi"? Can it derive ten thousand qi in one go, and can it be transformed into any kind of spiritual power?

So how did this transformation process come about?

Even if Xu Ke used the "Mixed Yuan One Qi" to transform other spiritual powers, he would have to manipulate the operation of spiritual power to achieve it. An elixir, and no one controls it, how can you do it?

Xu Ke feels that the truth contained in this must be very simple.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the Mixed Yuan One Qi Array, and the spiritual power entered the "Leaving the Fire Array", and a burst of fire light rose up.

Xu Ke officially opened the furnace for alchemy.

According to the Dan Fang of Huiqi Dan and the "process flow" of Huiqi Dan refining, Xu Ke operated step by step, and each step was completely consistent with the requirements of Dan Fang.

Fire lotus leaves, yellow root fruit, golden chrysanthemum, narcissus......

A piece of material, accurately grasp the quantity, accurately grasp the timing of the fire, and constantly put into the Danding to quench.

And then...... Through the eye of the sky, Xu Ke saw the various alchemy materials invested in the Danding, and the aura was constantly colliding, interacting, and merging.

Until the violent and chaotic aura collision and interaction, it gradually became regular and gradually became stable.

Eventually, the aura of various attributes fused with each other to form an air mass containing various aura attributes.

Dan is done!

With a wave of his hand, a spiritual power swept through, and more than a dozen round and bright pills flew out of the Danding.

Alchemy succeeded.

But...... The process of alchemy, Xu Ke didn't understand.

Through the eye of the sky, Xu Ke saw the collision of the aura of various materials in the Danding, the interaction of the aura, and finally the fusion of aura.

But...... It doesn't make sense.

From the perspective of the operation and transformation of Reiki, this phenomenon of Reiki interaction and fusion should not be realized.

If you manipulate spiritual power and collide and interact in this way, it is impossible to fuse into one.

Xu Ke tried it just now.

With Xu Ke's precise manipulation of spiritual power, he can't do this, so there must be other reasons.

In this, what else is at work to finally achieve the interaction and fusion of various aura?

What else is there besides Reiki...... Oh, and the herbs themselves.

Alchemy is not only the interaction of aura, but also the physical interaction, transformation and fusion of the medicinal materials themselves.

So...... Is this the "way of change in physical properties"?

Alchemy, is it actually the avenue of "creation"?
