Chapter 158: "Alchemy" also needs "talent"!
Next, Zhou Jun used the "Danhuo" to refine the Dan and repeated the previous process. I saw that after Zhou Jun sat cross-legged, he spit out the "golden pill" in the dantian in his abdomen with a mouth, which was the size of a fist, hovering in the air, not only with colorful spiritual patterns on it, but also evenly distributed with nine "holes".
Although those "holes" are only the size of mung beans, they are all connected to the "Yin and Yang Five Elements Taiji Ball" inside the "Jindan", and they can automatically swallow and exhale aura.
Zhou Jun suddenly found that the "Jiupin Jindan" seemed to be another self at this moment, because no matter what he saw, heard, thought or thought, it seemed that he had received a synchronous response on the "Jindan", and with Zhou Jun's thoughts, the "Jiupin Jindan" automatically ignited the "Colorful Fire"!
I saw that the "raging flame" was not a "dead fire" with only high temperature and burning like the "earth fire", but a "colored fire" full of spirituality, which could move left and right, leapfrog back and forth, fly up and down, and even transform into various forms, but this was the "inner Dan fire" released by Zhou Jun's mind as soon as he moved.
Zhou Jun's own spiritual roots are mixed, resulting in its "Dan Fire" being colorful on the surface, but this is the "True Fire", including the flames that "Jindan" and "Yuanying" can release from the "Dantian Qi Sea", the power is far beyond the ordinary earth fire and the flames released with the "Fu Gong", and it is stronger than the "secular mortal fire"!
Sure enough, Zhou Jun soon discovered that using his own "Dan Fire" to alchemy was far more effective than using "Earth Fire" for alchemy, because less spiritual power and less mana could be used to achieve the effect of driving the "Earth Fire" alchemy, and the quality of the pill after the Dan was completed was even better!
In this regard, Zhou Jun was very satisfied, so he couldn't help but pinch the "Bigu Pill" that had just been refined and threw it into his mouth, it was still a little hot, but the fragrant fragrance and the feeling of fullness were extremely strong, and the effect was more than three times that of the pills sold in the "Fang Market" outside, it was really unimaginable!
Next, Zhou Jun began to refine the "Golden Marrow Pill" according to the order. Although this prescription contains 8 kinds of medicinal materials, which seems to be more complex and difficult to refine than the 6 flavored medicinal materials of "Bigu Pill", with the help of "Danhuo", Zhou Jun was stunned to refine the first medicine "Golden Marrow Pill" in less than half an hour!
Although the size and color are still much smaller and more dismal than those sold openly in the "Zongmenfang Market", the medicinal fragrance and potency are obviously a grade higher, and it seems that the quality has been significantly improved. This made Zhou Jun unstoppable, and continued to refine, and sure enough, he found that he had a talent for alchemy!
After consuming the refining materials of the "Bigu Pill" and the "Golden Pill", Zhou Jun obtained 81 and 56 pills respectively, perhaps because the two pills were small in size, or because they were too many "magic tricks" in the "Ning Dan"? Zhou Jun only felt that he should make it bigger.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Jun meditated on his knees again and began to refine his qi, meditating on every detail of his "condensing pill" before he could, while pondering whether he could control the mana output more subtly, after all, the size of the "elixir" was closely related to the "condensation" technique, and the heat was secondary!
After two hours of meditation and repeated experience, Zhou Jun decided to start refining "Huanglong Dan". Although this pill is also one of the "pills" taken by monks in the "Qi refining period", it is suitable for monks in the "middle stage of Qi refining", while the "Qi refining pill" taken by monks in the "late stage of qi refining" is not refined.
Because the refining cost of the "Qi Refining Pill" and the year of the "medicinal materials" used are much higher than that of the "Huanglong Pill", even the monks in the "early stage of foundation building" can take it. Therefore, Zhou Jun decided to refine the "Qi Refining Pill" as a "foundation building monk" standing "elixir", and the "Qi Refining Pill" that the monks often said was also the "Qi Refining Pill".
Refining "Huanglong Dan" requires 16 kinds of medicinal materials, and it is also divided into "main medicine" and "taking medicine", which is far from being comparable to the lowest price "pills" such as "Bigu Pill" and "Golden Pulp Pill". And the "five stone powder" pills that are dual-purpose for immortals are not included in this list, because qi refining cultivators also use it sparingly.
Next, Zhou Jun still spit out the "Golden Pill" step by step, used the "Dan Fire" to warm up the "Danding", and at the same time operated the mana and played the Taoist trick on the "Danding", lit up the "Spirit Pattern Prohibition" points on the "Dan Furnace", and then waved his hand to release a mana to wrap all the medicinal materials.
Then, according to the steps of alchemy, the "main medicine" and the "side medicine" are separated, and then sent to the "Dan furnace" one by one to be burned with "Dan fire", quenched, and then purified.
After the refined "liquid medicine" or "medicinal powder" is loaded with a special "magic weapon", the "side medicine" is also put into the "Danding" in turn and repeats the previous operation until it is purified, and then mixed with the "main medicine" and stirred well, which requires powerful divine sense control and precise mana delivery!
Although this whole process is very boring, it can exercise a person's patience, perseverance and mana, and make people unconsciously discover whether they have "alchemy talent". Obviously, this time in alchemy, Zhou Jun succeeded again, although the "pill" was not as pure as before.
After collecting the "elixir", Zhou Jun tasted the "fruits of his labor" while pondering this method of separating and refining the "main medicine" and "side medicine" and fusing them at the end, which seemed to be similar to some of the processes and techniques of the "way of refining". So, Zhou Jun hurriedly took out those jade slips for enlightenment.
About an hour later, when the state was almost adjusted, Zhou Jun began to refine the second furnace of pills, which was still "Huanglong Dan". But this time, Zhou Jun planned to learn from the process and techniques of "refining" to see if he could give some hints in "alchemy", so he thought of it.
I saw that he opened his mouth and spit out his "Inner Dan", and as soon as his mind moved, he raised a colorful flame and flew into the "Alchemy Furnace", continuing to repeat the previous steps, but in terms of separating the medicinal liquid, extracting the essence, mixing and kneading, condensing the elixir and finally "warm up", he borrowed the refining technique.
Under the dual effect of strong spiritual power and profound mana, Zhou Jun did not wait for the furnace to open, and he had already smelled the strong medicinal fragrance emitted from the "Ding Furnace" after this "Ning Dan" far beyond before, and the quality was improved again, until he finished playing more than a dozen magic tricks against the "Furnace Ding", and then officially opened the furnace.
This time there was another bumper harvest, and the quantity and quality were significantly better than the last time. Zhou Jun thought to himself, perhaps because he borrowed some "alchemy" techniques from the control of "heat" and "condensation", and purified the "main medicine" and "side medicine" and carried out two superimposed condensations before and after.
So, next, Zhou Jun put the last pair of medicinal materials of "Huanglong Dan" into the burning "Ding Furnace" in one go, and decided to use the method of "making fast to fast" to shorten the refining time, so as to test his "alchemy speed". However, this time there was an accident, and it was all scorched!
After cleaning up the waste medicine residue, Zhou Jun began to meditate on his knees and breathe in the refining of qi again, and at the same time closed his eyes and recalled the whole situation of refining these three pairs of pills, and found that one was a gradual and gradual process, and the other was as fast as a speed, and it was so!
In the end, Zhou Jun came to the conclusion that "alchemy" is not as good as "refining", and "alchemy" is best done step by step, step by step, and finally it will come naturally. "Refining" may be calcined by fierce fire, opening and closing, but in fact, it is "slow work and meticulous work", and both are inseparable from heat and strength.
The next three medicines to be refined are all "Tsukidan", which is also touted as "Immortal Pill" by "Immortal Cultivators", because the role of "Tsukidan" is to help the "Great Perfection of Qi Refining" monks to forcibly expand the "Dantian Qi Sea", and by the way, they also stimulate the "Qi Sea Barrier" and make it contract violently to compress the True Yuan Condensate.
As for the so-called "artistic conception" of helping the "Qi refining cultivators" comprehend the "cultivation of the true and attaining the Dao", that is, the "Dao Heart Tribulation", that is just "the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise".
However, after the operation, Zhou Jun found that the difficulty of refining "Zhuji Dan" was far greater than that of "Huanglong Dan", because refining "Huanglong Dan" only required 16 flavors of "medicinal materials", but refining "Zhuji Dan" required as many as 24 kinds of "medicinal materials", which was 4 more than the 20 "flavored medicinal materials" of "Qi Refining Pill"!
For the "Foundation Building Monk", this does not mean that the effect of the "Foundation Building Pill" is far superior to the "Qi Refining Pill". On the contrary, "Tsukidan" is the same in terms of increasing mana effect, but it is more beneficial for stimulating the spirit. However, the refining cost of "Zhuji Dan" far exceeds that of "Qi Refining Pill", so it is not cost-effective!
After Zhou Jun went through this information in his mind, he found that several main medicines for refining "Zhuji Dan", such as "Soul Devouring Vine", "Purple Monkey Flower", "Cleansing Spirit Grass", "Xuanbing Flower", "Heavenly Spirit Fruit", etc., were almost extinct in the outside world, and they could only be found in "ancient ruins" such as "Canglang Secret Realm", but it was difficult to transplant!
As for auxiliary medicinal materials such as "Phantom Heart Grass", "Dragon Sunflower", "Qingling Grass", "Sanhua Yulu", "Seven Star Grass", "Thousand Leaf Dew", "Qingwen Steel", "Wanxing Vine", "Mirage" and other auxiliary medicinal materials can also be bought from the outside market, and herbs can also be cultivated in large quantities in the "Medicine Garden", so it is not difficult to solve!
It is precisely because of this that "Zhuji Dan" will appear to be "scarce and expensive", so that all forces, especially the "large and small sects" and the "immortal cultivation family", will strictly control it, and try not to let it outflow out, so that the majority of "scattered cultivators" can take advantage of it. As a result, "Tsukidan" has become more and more "strange and livable"!
This time, in order to learn alchemy, Zhou Jun spent 60,000 spirit stones, of which only three copies of the materials of "Zhuji Dan" accounted for most of them, which shows its preciousness! So, after more than an hour of "meditating and refining qi", Zhou Jun began to refine "Zhuji Dan" with a solemn expression.
Due to the previous series of "alchemy experience", Zhou Jun also saw it, thinking that as long as he followed the steps, step by step, mastered the heat, accurately controlled the mana output, and grasped the timing of the furnace at the last moment, there would be no big problems, so he sprayed "Jindan" into the furnace.
Sure enough, under the careful operation of Yitong, Zhou Jun gave full play to the advantages of his powerful spiritual power and profound mana, and the "Nine Grades Golden Pill" was his second "life", and there was no mistake at all under the connection of the mind and mind, so this alchemy was all successful!
Just by virtue of the three pairs of "Zhuji Dan" medicinal materials, Zhou Jun actually refined 29 pills for the first time, and each one was ruddy in color, dense with spiritual patterns, precipitated in the beginning, and the medicinal fragrance was fragrant, but whether it was the condensation of medicinal power, or the quality and appearance, it was far beyond what he had ever seen!
Seeing this, Zhou Jun was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly felt that he might really be an "alchemy wizard", because ordinary "alchemists" can reach the "order rate" of "three percent" and enter the room, and if they reach the "single rate" of "fifty percent", they can walk sideways in the sect, and reach "seventy percent" to become the "grandmaster"!
However, Zhou Jun found that his "order rate" was not only surprisingly high, but also reached the "order rate" of "ten out of ten", and he could easily "double the output"! Moreover, the quality of the "pills" refined far exceeds the same kind of pills refined by other "pill masters", and the only disadvantage is that it is small.
"Haha, that's great! It seems that you can try to continue refining the elixir taken by the monks of the 'Foundation Building Period'! By the way, refine more 'Tsukidan'! ”
