The essence of the skill of alchemy is probably not simple.

And husband, heaven and earth are furnaces, and creation is work. Yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper.

Exhaustively study the changes in physical properties, understand the principle of incarnation, and then create all things, refine heaven and earth, refine the sun and moon, and refine all living beings.

Dan Dao is the way of creation.

It's kind of scary.

Xu Ke remembered the legendary Taishang Laojun. Perhaps, the way of creation is the highest state of the Dan Dao.

The idea of the Mixed Yuan One Qi Sutra, the innate primordial qi, derives all things in heaven and earth.

This "way of creation" is very suitable for the primordial qi to derive all things, so the Dan Dao must be studied diligently.

Of course, this "way of creation" is also a "dream" for Xu Ke now, and you can think about it when you dream.

For now, we still have to be down-to-earth and face reality.

Putting away the "Huiqi Pill" that had just been refined, Xu Ke sat on the ground, released the magic weapon "Mixed Yuan One Qi Taichu Rune", and began to explore the Huiqi Pill.

With the help of the power of the magic weapon, Xu Ke was also able to infiltrate a wisp of his consciousness into the pill with spiritual power, and perceive the situation inside the pill.

This is more reliable than the "microscope".

A wisp of mixed yuan spiritual power, wrapped in consciousness, seeped into the elixir, Xu Ke discovered...... The various spiritual powers fused in the elixir were instantly transformed into mixed element spiritual powers.

In less than a moment, all the spiritual powers in the Returning Qi Pill were transformed into mixed element spiritual powers.

This is the reason why the Huiqi Pill is "universal".

After the monk took the elixir, he used his spiritual power to refine the elixir. This refining process is equivalent to using one's own spiritual power as a guide, transforming all the spiritual powers in the Hui Qi Pill into the spiritual power nature of the monk himself.

What kind of spiritual power is used to refine the Hui Qi Pill, what kind of spiritual power will be transformed.

In order to verify this speculation, Xu Ke used the magic weapon "Mixed Yuan One Qi Taichu Rune" to transform the spiritual power of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and various natures.

After the spiritual power penetrated into the Hui Qi Pill, the various spiritual powers fused in the Hui Qi Pill were indeed transformed into the corresponding spiritual power.

Through this test, Xu Ke already knew the reason why the "Huiqi Dan" could be universal.

The various spiritual powers fused in the elixir are at a critical point of "turning into untransformed". When a monk refines the spiritual power of the elixir, he will destroy this critical point and trigger the transformation of the spiritual power inside the elixir, thus giving birth to the corresponding spiritual power.

Other general-purpose pills must be the same.

Merely...... How is this critical point of "turning into a non-transformed" realized?

This must involve "physical property changes".

Xu Ke put down the pill and turned his head to look at the various alchemy materials placed on the storage shelves of the Dan room, with a helpless wry smile on his face.

In other words, is there a "periodic table" in the cultivation world?!

To summarize the law of "physical property change" from all kinds of materials and all kinds of substances, this amount of work is too huge, right?

This kind of knowledge is definitely available in the cultivation world.

It's just that Cangmang was originally a rural place, and there were only local buns ganging up, and there was no "institution of higher learning".

Alas......

Xu Ke let out a long sigh, he didn't have the opportunity to acquire high-level knowledge, so he could only rely on his own slow research.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush to complete the study of the "law of physical property changes", and it should be regarded as a long-term research and slowly accumulated.

Xu Ke stretched out his hand and took out the various materials for refining the Hui Qi Pill.

Then, with the help of the magic weapon "Mixed Yuan One Qi Primal Rune", a wisp of consciousness was released, which infiltrated into the alchemy material, observed the internal structure, observed the aura operation of the medicinal material, and then recorded them one by one with jade slips.

In the knowledge of alchemy, of course, there is also the content of identifying and processing medicinal materials.

It's just that those contents are only superficial knowledge such as "what a certain medicinal material looks like, what method needs to be used to collect it, and what method is used to preserve it".

The "physical nature" that Xu Ke needs is completely absent.

Soon after, Xu Ke thoroughly "observed" the various medicinal materials for refining the Huiqi Pill, and also recorded the characteristics and characteristics of the various materials in jade slips.

And then...... Xu Ke encountered another level.

What is the substance of the spiritual world made of? Is it "gas"? Or was it the elementary particles of that world?

Or, all the "qi" is the elementary particles of the corresponding properties?

For example, fire-based aura is the basic particle of fire attribute? Is there still "wave-particle duality"?

It's so hard! Not at all!

Xu Ke rubbed his eyebrows, only feeling a pain in his brain.

Don't study so deeply, so far, start with the basics.

As a result, Xu Ke no longer thought about what matter was made of, and regardless of whether the aura was a particle or a wave, he directly took each medicinal material as the object of study.

What happens to this herb and another herb after refining, and what results will occur.

This kind of research is more intuitive, simpler, and even ...... It's also more practical.

Through this kind of research, Xu Ke easily grasped the "medicinal properties" of each medicinal material of Huiqi Pill.

According to this "medicinal property", a variety of different pills can be refined through different combinations of "medicinal properties".

After reducing the difficulty, the research became very smooth.

People should not be too embarrassed about themselves, the goal is too high and unrealistic.

Xu Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sure enough, the realm is still not enough, the knowledge is not enough, and I can't do the kind of research that involves the origin of heaven and earth.

It's not okay to be ambitious, let's start with the basics!

Next, Xu Ke put the research object on the "medicinal properties" of medicinal materials, and no longer insisted on the "law of physical property changes".

That thing involves the "Way of Creation", which is not something that Xu Ke can get involved in at the moment.

——

Time passed slowly in Xu Ke's painstaking research.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

It's already October, and it's early winter.

Xu Ke sowed the spiritual fields on the island in the middle of the lake, the orchards and tea gardens and mulberry forests are beginning to take shape, and the perennial medicinal materials are still in the growth stage, but some spiritual rice grains are beginning to set ears.

Because the sowing was relatively late, and the blue water pool was protected by a large array, he didn't care about the time, Xu Ke planned to wait another month to harvest the grain.

Of course, this kind of trivial matter, there is no need for Xu Zhenren to do it himself, the monkey is already a mature monkey, and he has to learn to farm and support his family.

In the past three months, the war between the Haoyang Sect and the Four Factions Alliance has still been tepid, with small fights happening every day, and no big fights happening.

If it weren't for Li Muzi talking about the progress of the war from time to time, Xu Ke would have almost forgotten that the sect was still fighting with people.

In these three months, another Jindan real person was born in the sect.

After Wang Changqing received Xu Ke's teachings, his cultivation advanced steadily. Just a few days ago, Wang Changqing came to Bishuitan, and with the support of Xu Ke, he successfully achieved Jindan.

There are two golden pills in the Sinong Palace, and two true inheritances, which makes the Si Nong Hall more and more powerful, and many Mu Linggen and Shui Linggen disciples are looking for relationships to apply for being transferred to the Si Nong Hall to farm.

The farming disciple of Sinong Hall has become a good position that countless people yearn for.

Xu Ke himself has also gained a lot in these three months.

After three months of practice, Xu Ke's "Mixed Yuan One Qi True Sutra" was officially promoted to the third layer of foundation building, and he practiced the three true runes of "Aura", "Demon Qi" and "Demon Qi".

From then on, Xu Ke didn't need to use the magic weapon "Mixed Yuan One Qi True Fu Treasure" to cast magic spells and demon cultivation spells at will.

The four saplings of the "Wisdom Test" have grown luxuriantly.

Xuantan, red pine, cold bamboo, and the unknown tree that Xu Ke casually named "Jianmu" have all successfully stepped into the "Qi Training Period", and there is already demonic qi running in their bodies.

If you are wise, you haven't found it yet, and you still need to wait.

As for the study of alchemy...... The progress has been enormous.

Regardless of the "laws of physical properties", Xu Ke specialized in the study of "medicinal properties", and in the past three months, he has studied all the alchemy medicinal materials of Haoyang Sect and compiled a "pharmacopoeia".

In this "pharmacopoeia", Xu Ke summarized the "medicinal properties" of various medicinal materials based on the theory of the five behaviors of yin and yang, and based on the phenomenon of spiritual power changes in the alchemy process of medicinal materials.

From the perspective of "medicinal properties", interpreting the truth of alchemy is naturally much simpler and easier to understand than "the law of change of physical properties".

In fact, the so-called "medicinal properties" are only a "phenomenon", not the essential law of alchemy.

The real law of essence must be the change of physical properties.

It's just that that's the way of creation, and Xu Ke is still too far away from any point of view, and he can't get it right from the start, and he can't study it at all.

This is the difference between "pharmacy" and "chemistry".

Xu Ke was not very satisfied with the "Pharmacopoeia", but the master of the Danding Hall was like a treasure.

Didn't the Lord of the Danding Hall give a Jindan-level Baoding? Xu Ke took the "Pharmacopoeia" he compiled as a return gift and gave it to the Lord of Danding Palace.

Then, the Danding Hall Master was so excited that his face was flushed, his eyes were shining, and he called it "the foundation of the Dan Dao, the true transmission of the Fa".

With this pharmacopoeia, all the Dan masters in the Danding Hall have a "Dan Dao Foundation", instead of a "recipe" that can only be based on the Dan recipe for alchemy.

Therefore, the master of the Danding Hall named this pharmacopoeia "Kunwu Pharmacopoeia", which became the fundamental canon of the Dan Dao true biography of the Danding Palace.

The word Kunwu is, of course, from Xu Ke's "Kunwu Academy".

When Xu Ke knew this name, he was stunned for a long time, so he ...... I somehow have a Taoist name called "Kunwu Zhenren"?

"Dayan Zhenren" is better than "Kunwu Zhenren", right?

I hope that no one in this cultivation world knows how to read the word "Kun" apart, otherwise...... Xu Zhenren is wise and wise, and he pays for the water!

After thinking about it, this name is at least better than "Mang King Kong" and the like, which also makes Xu Ke a little more mentally balanced.

——

Hengduan Mountain.

Since receiving Wang Changqing's guidance, Zhuang Yuting went deep into Hengduan Mountain and collected high-grade spiritual trees for Xu Ke everywhere.

Especially after learning that Wang Changqing successfully married Dan, became the second Jindan real person in the Sinong Palace, and also created a water system true inheritance avenue, Zhuang Yuting couldn't sit still.

"Fang Zheng, we have collected a lot of spirit wood these days, this is the seed."

A former Bishuitan disciple took out a box of seeds from the storage bag, handed it to Zhuang Yuting, and said, "It's just a Jindan-grade spirit wood...... It's too rare. ”

"Good work."

Zhuang Yuting took the seed and thanked him, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

It's just a spirit plant seed that builds the base layer, and you can't take it out at all!

How precious is the opportunity to tie the knot? How can it be exchanged for the seeds of the foundation building spirit wood?

At the very least, there must be the seeds of the Jindan Spirit Tree.

Even so, there is only one opportunity to meet the hall master, and whether or not he can get the hall master's teachings, it is uncertain!

When Zhuang Yuting was secretly worried, another former Bishuitan disciple ran over.

"Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng, I heard a message."

This disciple hurriedly ran up and said to Zhuang Yuting: "Some time ago, when the Formation Hall Master led a team to explore the spiritual veins in Hengduan Mountain, someone found a Jindan-level spiritual tree in the northern part of Hengduan Mountain. ”

"Is that true?"

Zhuang Yuting was surprised and delighted, and asked repeatedly.

"I heard it from Peng Zhengqing, he said that he was just sitting on the flying boat of the Formation Hall Master at that time, and he didn't go down to take a closer look. Judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power, it should be a Jindan-level spirit wood. ”

The disciple said, and took out another jade slip, "There is a map on it, whether it is true or not, you have to look at it to find out." ”

"That's right! Whether it's true or not, always check it out. ”

Zhuang Yuting took the jade slip and thanked the disciple, "Thank you for your hard work." Thank you for your help, and if you have anything in the future, you will not forget your brotherly affection. ”

"Fang Zheng is polite!"

Several of the original Bishuitan disciples next to him returned the salute one after another.

Back at the residence, Zhuang Yuting picked up the map of the jade slip and looked at it, frowning slightly, this place is a bit far away!

The location marked on the map has reached the northernmost "fracture" of Hengduan Mountain.

The origin of the name Hengduan Mountain is that the northernmost point of this mountain range, the place that connects to the Cangshan Mountain Range, suddenly disconnected, as if it had been cut off by someone.

The Hengduan Mountains, known as the "Ten Thousand Miles Radius", refer to the width of the mountain system derived from the Hengduan Mountains.

The northernmost part of Hengduan Mountain is more than 30,000 miles away from the gravel plain. The distance from Haoyang Sect to Manghe Sword Sect is not so far!

It's a little far, but it's not a problem.

The Jindan Demon King of Hengduan Mountain has long been finished, even if he travels tens of thousands of miles alone, there is not much danger.

With the speed of the foundation building spirit weapon flying boat, it is just a few days in a row.

Therefore, Zhuang Yuting immediately prepared all kinds of materials needed for long-distance travel.

Three days later, Zhuang Yuting drove the take-off boat and set off from the Black Dragon Ridge in the gravel plain, all the way to the crack of Hengduan Mountain, which was tens of thousands of miles away.

The flying boat flew through the sky, from south to north, straight across the entire Hengduan Mountain Range, and only then did it reach the northernmost rift.

According to the location of the map, Zhuang Yuting quickly found a towering tree growing in a mountain col near the rift.

This is a purple golden nanmu, judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power, it is definitely a spiritual material of the golden pill grade, and the branches are still bearing fruit.

Since there are so many seeds, there is no demon.

The spirit wood that becomes a demon, every seed is very important, and it will not bear fruit easily.

Zhuang Yuting released a spiritual weapon, flew out towards the purple golden nanmu, circled around the treetops, and easily took down a few seeds.

Got it!

Zhuang Yuting smiled all over his face, put away the seeds, and took off in the boat, ready to return.

As soon as he turned around, Zhuang Yuting suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement on the opposite side of the Hengduan Mountain rift.

Turning his head to look, he saw that on the cliff opposite the rift, a large black flag was suddenly erected.

On the pitch-black flag, a blood moon is depicted, and below it is a dog head with fangs.

"Woo......"

The desolate sound of the trumpet echoed between heaven and earth.

Under the cliff on the other side of the rift, countless kobold monsters howled and roared, sweeping in like a tidal wave.

Alien?

The alien race in Cangshan is planning to invade Cangmangyuan?

Zhuang Yuting's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly drove the boat, turned around and ran.

"Woo Woo ......"

One after another, the pitch-black crossbow arrows, churning with dazzling blood light, roared towards Zhuang Yuting's flying boat.

it!

Zhuang Yuting burst out a popular word of Haoyang Sect, dodged frantically, and fled in embarrassment.
