Half an hour later, the two of them robbed back and forth in the residence of a group of senior brothers and sisters, and when they returned to the cabin, there were already hundreds of various elixirs and spiritual herbs for refining Xiao Yuan Dan in the storage bag, and even among the medicinal materials given by the senior brothers and sisters, there were several that had reached the level of refining Da Yuan Dan.

Xiao Yuan Dan was the most commonly used qi tonifying pill for monks in the early stage of the Kaiyuan Realm.

This is true for both large and small immortal sects and folk loose cultivators.

Because it has not yet been introduced, the demand for the quality of medicinal materials is not high, generally as long as it is rich in a certain amount of aura, and the year is not very demanding.

There are many overlaps between Xiao Yuan Dan and Da Yuan Dan in terms of medicinal materials, but Da Yuan Dan, as a first-class elixir, is very strict about the quality and year of medicinal materials, and those that do not meet the standards cannot be used, otherwise in the end, the medicinal power is not enough to directly reduce the quality of the pill, not to mention, it may also be refined into a waste pill.

Looking at the large number of various spiritual elixirs and spiritual herbs in his hand, Xu Chen was very excited, and he didn't know where to start.

Zhao Xuan was quite familiar with it, and quickly helped him sort it out into several piles, and then jumped out of them eight medicinal materials and said: "This is the eight-flavor medicinal material for refining Xiao Yuan Dan, including five kinds of elixir, two kinds of dispensing, and one kind of priming medicine." ”

Xu Chen was overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, it has to be Senior Sister who makes a move, and I am dazzled by this pile of medicinal materials!" ”

Zhao Xuan said proudly: "That's, you don't look at who the senior sister is!" ”

At this time, Xu Chen found Xiao Yuan Dan's Danfang Jade Jane and began to look at it carefully.

In fact, the steps of refining any elixir are similar, but the refining speed of the elixir is much slower than that of ordinary ordinary medicines, and in order to ensure the spiritual energy components in the elixir, the requirements and refinement for refining are also much higher.

If the aura is consumed too much during the refining process, it will eventually lead to the failure of alchemy.

Therefore, Xu Chen's focus was on how to control the refining process to ensure that the spirituality of the elixir would not be lost too much.

After reading the pill formula, Xu Chen revisited the steps of refining the elixir.

After a full stick of incense, Xu Chen put down the jade slip, reactivated the Dan furnace, and then took out a spirit stone and put it into the hearth of the Dan furnace, and then pressed his hands on the Yuan Qi channel and began to input the Yuan Qi, controlling the divine consciousness to stimulate the Five Elements Formation inside.

Soon, all the formations in the Dan furnace lit up, and under the continuous impact of the vitality, the spirit stone was also ignited, and a blazing white flame burned in the furnace, and the Dan furnace soon released a throbbing breath.

The spiritual fire does not release the high temperature of the body, but the temperature of the soul.

This kind of temperature can only be felt by monks, and if it is a mortal, it will instantly disperse within the range of spiritual fire.

Zhao Xuan was a little uncomfortable, and her body took two steps back slightly, while Xu Chen didn't feel any change because of his strong divine sense, and he was stable.

In the final analysis, this Dan furnace is relatively rubbish, and the grade is too low.

In fact, a good Dan furnace will completely bind the spiritual fire in the furnace and will not escape at all.

But this Dan furnace obviously can't do this.

The refining temperature and refining time of each elixir are different.

Xu Chen naturally didn't dare to be careless, after all, these elixirs were collected by the senior brothers and sisters when they went down the mountain to practice or exchanged for spirit stones and spiritual materials, although they were not too expensive, but the loss was still distressing, so he was very careful.

With the experience of refining several furnaces of mortal medicine before, Xu Chen was already familiar with the steps of refining, so under his full attention, the first elixir was successfully refined after going through half a pillar of incense.

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but there was also a slight sweat on his forehead.

To finely control the furnace temperature of the spirit stone burning, and to carefully control the calcination of the elixir by the formation, in addition, he has to keep recalling the steps of refining, even if his divine sense is strong, but the vitality is still too weak after all, so after the refining of this elixir is completed, he feels that the vitality in his body is consumed a lot, but this consumption is still within his tolerance range.

The next second elixir, which also took about half a moment, was also successfully refined.

After two successes in a row, Xu Chen's confidence skyrocketed, and in the next breath, he finished refining all the remaining three flavor elixirs, which turned out to be one-time successes, but it took more than half an hour, and at this time, the vitality in his body was almost bottoming out, and he even felt that the dantian began to sting slightly.

This is because the injuries caused by the last battle with Xuanshui Youlian have not fully recovered, so he didn't dare to be careless, and took out a small Yuan Dan and stuffed it into his mouth.

Next to him, Zhao Xuan wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, covered her mouth and twisted her head to the side, eating and eating, and her body trembled.

Xu Chen didn't dare to be distracted at this time, so he could only pretend not to know, and while running the exercises to absorb the vitality, he threw the remaining three flavor auxiliary medicinal materials into the Dan furnace and continued refining.

Compared with the elixir, the refining of these three flavors of mortal medicine is much more casual, and the refining is completed after only half a burnt of incense, and then the Hedan formation is activated to start the Hedan.

Compared with the Qingshui Pill, it is much more difficult for the five-flavor elixir to be fully integrated, if the fusion is not sufficient, it will lead to the loss of medicinal effect, and even if it is not a waste pill, it will basically have no effect.

Therefore, Xu Chen didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't even dare to hurriedly integrate the white qi released by the blue light treasure bottle.

At least he had to ensure that he could successfully refine Xiao Yuan Dan.

Once you have fully developed your experience, you can go ahead and conduct his experiments.

The synthesis time of the elixir was much longer than that of the Fan Dan, and it took nearly an hour before and after, and finally the five flavors of the elixir and the essence of the three auxiliary medicinal materials were all fused, and when Xu Chen felt that the vitality of the small Yuan Dan he had swallowed was almost exhausted, the Hedan formation slowly stopped, and a blue-gray ointment appeared in the center of the Dan furnace.

At this time, it is not possible to rush to divide the pill, but to use the spiritual fire to slowly bake at a low temperature, so that all kinds of elixirs can penetrate more closely and the medicinal power can be fully integrated.

This process takes longer than the Hedan process, and generally takes at least an hour or more.

In the case of Da Yuan Dan, this process will take at least half a day.

And to maintain the divine consciousness for a long time to precisely control the state of the spiritual fire and the Dan furnace, it requires extremely strong divine consciousness and vitality support.

Xu Chen's divine sense was strong enough, but his vitality was a shortcoming, so he had to knock another small Yuan Dan.

Zhao Xuan sat next to him and meditated, but his mind was not on cultivation, but he had been observing Xu Chen's alchemy process, watching him take another pill, he couldn't help but shave his shoulders and sway, and he almost fell to the ground.

Xu Chen's face was full of shame, and he sneered: "Senior sister, you can laugh if you want to, why bother like this." ”

Zhao Xuan covered her mouth and stood up, Kuku said with a smile: "It will take at least an hour to raise the pill, and when the pill is released, I am afraid that it will be dark, I will go and make you something to eat first." ”

Seeing Zhao Xuan turn around and smile all the way into the cabin, Xu Chen had no choice but to wipe the sweat from his forehead and continue.

At this time, he finally knew why Senior Brother Nine was reluctant to do alchemy, or the reason why there were so few alchemists in the Immortal Sect.

One is too boring, and the other is very expensive.

This pill is only halfway refined, and he eats two pills to replenish his vitality, so this furnace of pill refining is just enough, if the practice is broken, there will be absolutely no pants for loss.

And this is just a furnace of Xiao Yuan Dan that is not in the product, and it will take at least half a day to successfully refine a furnace from beginning to end.

I heard that the elixir of the second and third grades often takes several days or even ten days and half a month.

The elixir above the fourth grade is calculated in months and years.

The step of raising the Dan alone lasted for a long time, and it could exhaust the vitality of a Danyuan Realm monk several times, not that the Spirit Realm Great Cultivator would definitely not be able to persevere, let alone the long-term high-intensity concentration of divine consciousness, which was enough to make the Danyuan Realm Monk's soul collapse in confusion.

Xu Chen was very glad that after he got the blue jade bead, his divine sense was already strong to the point of the True Yuan Realm, otherwise he would probably not be able to hold on to it just by refining a few elixirs.

Time passes slowly.

The sun is setting in the west.

Under the setting sun, Xu Chen remained motionless, sitting cross-legged on the cliff clearing in front of the cabin halfway up the mountainside, and his mind was fully absorbed in taking care of the Dan furnace.

A thick aroma of elixir also slowly drifted out with the evening breeze as time passed.

Danxiang began to appear, indicating that the medicinal effect of the pill had begun to merge and promote.

Zhao Xuan stewed rice porridge in the kitchen, and made two simple seasonal side dishes in the mountains, and then was also seduced by the medicinal fragrance, knowing that Xu Chen's Virgin Pill was about to succeed, so he was also happy to run out to observe.

Slowly another stick of incense passed, it was nearly an hour since the pill was raised, and he felt that the medicinal fragrance was strong enough, so Zhao Xuan reminded softly: "Senior brother, it's too late, it's almost time to get out of the pill!" ”

Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly activated the Dan Dividing Formation, and soon a piece of ointment was divided into more than ten mud balls of size in the Dan furnace, and then was driven by the Yuan Qi vortex to rotate for a while, and then turned into more than ten light cyan projectiles the size of little fingers, and after baking with the spiritual fire again for a moment of time, and waiting until the medicinal fragrance was exhausted, he gently patted the Dan furnace, the furnace lid popped open, and more than ten pills sprayed out of the furnace mouth with a churning rich Dan mist, Xu Chen's vitality rolled, and he put all the pills in his hand.

Zhao Xuan leaned over to take a closer look, and suddenly said with surprise on his face: "The little junior brother really has the talent for alchemy, not to mention the success of this first time, the quality of the pill is also very good!" ”

Xu Chen also carefully observed each pill and found that it was indeed very successful, basically reaching the middle and upper grade quality, and it was indeed a good Xiao Yuan Dan, so he happily took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Zhao Xuan:

"Today, I trouble my senior sister for most of the day, and I am looking for medicine and cooking, and this stove of Xiao Yuandan will be given to my sister as a thank you gift at that time!"

Zhao Xuan's eyebrows curled with a smile, and he took it unceremoniously: "Then I'm not welcome, I can't use the Da Yuan Dan, the Xiao Yuan Dan is just right for me, and I will have to trouble the junior brother to help in the future!" ”

Xu Chen stood up and stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why should you be polite to me, this Xiao Yuan Dan is not very easy to get except for the medicinal materials, and the refining is more costly, it is indeed not difficult, if you need to come to me in the future, let's go, go eat first, I am almost hungry and panicked!" ”

The two of them quickly packed up the Dan furnace and the rest of the medicinal herbs, and then brought the food to a flat stone outside the door, and sniffed the Dan incense that gradually drifted away in the evening breeze and sunset, and began to eat with laughter and laughter.

The life of cultivating immortals is so simple and simple most of the time.

There's no fighting, there's no scheming, and you can't even feel the passage of time.

There is no nail in the mountains, and the cold does not know the year.

As long as you can endure loneliness, you can live here for the rest of your life, like this mountain tree, withered and grown, and you know your joy and self-knowledge.

After the two of them finished a simple dinner, Zhao Xuan left with Edgeworth.

Watching the cyan light disappear on the top of Chaoyang Peak, Xu Chen cleaned up his mood and sat down cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, and began to close his eyes and meditate, exercising his skills.
