In the afternoon of the same day, Xuan Yuzi and her wandering parents finalized the construction plan of the alchemy room.

On the second day, Xuan Yuzi led You Mingda and his wife to tidy up the backyard that had just been opened. Then I started to dig the mountain and take rocks on the high cliff behind the apricot forest.

In order to speed up the progress, Xuan Yuzi even used powerful talismans such as fireball talismans and burst talismans, which opened the eyes of the old couple.

You Li wanted to help, but was stopped by Xuan Yuzi. Let him not care about anything except three meals a day, just do morning classes and practice with peace of mind.

Rao worked so hard that it took twenty years to build several main houses in the backyard. The wings on both sides are completely connected with the front yard, and finally the whole Zhixuanguan forms a pattern of three entrances in front and back, and the area is more than doubled.

chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, Xuan Yuzi bathed in incense, re-invited the statue of the ancestor into the main house of the third courtyard, and moved the ancestor hall here.

The main house where the original patriarchal hall was located was transformed into a lecture hall dedicated to morning and evening classes. The kitchen is still the same, still in the west wing of the front yard, but the inner room is no longer a free bedroom, but a utility room.

Xuan Yuzi's bedroom was moved to the east wing next to the new patriarchal hall in the backyard, and Youli lived in the east wing of the middle courtyard with her parents.

The main house in the middle courtyard is a newly built alchemy house, half an acre in size. The Dan room is two stories high, with cornices and corners, which is quite imposing.

The alchemy room is most focused on the circulation of feng shui qi, so after the completion of the new ancestor hall, Xuan Yuzi spent half a month to set up a new protective array.

You Li didn't know the name of the new formation, but just by starting from the side, he knew the complexity of this formation. Because it has a very important function: to guide the circulation of the surrounding heaven and earth qi, so that the feng shui is mutually beneficial, and the evil qi does not invade, which is an important foundation to ensure the success rate of alchemy.

Subsequently, an auspicious day was chosen to build a three-storey platform, each divided into four sides, and each side opened two doors, a total of eight gates. The three layers symbolize the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and the eight doors symbolize the eight winds, meaning to welcome the wind from all directions.

After that, Xuan Yuzi bathed and changed clothes, changed into a formal yellow robe, and took the stage.

Wandering off the stage cooperated with the master, walking around the stage, chanting incantations.

Xuan Yuzi took out a palm-sized black tripod from the jacket, pinched the sword and recited a mantra, and then the small black tripod rose in response, reaching three or four zhang high. When placed on a high platform, the lid of the furnace is even higher than the ceiling of the first floor, leading to the second floor.

It was only then that you understood why the master had to repeatedly calculate the height when building this alchemy room, and finally removed the ceiling on the first floor.

This is a three-legged tripod, about four people are encircled, gourd-shaped, named "Xuanyu Bagua Furnace", it is magnificent.

Finally, Xuan Yuzi jumped up and flew under the ceiling on the second floor. In each of the four corners of the outer perimeter above the furnace dome, a huge ancient mirror is placed. Then a thick sword hung directly above the furnace with the tip downward.

After doing this, Xuan Yuzi flew back to Youli's side and led him to burn incense and pray together.

At this point, the construction of the alchemy room can be regarded as complete.

Out of the alchemy room, You Li asked curiously, "Master, what are those swords and four ancient mirrors for?"

"Naturally, it is to prevent demons and subdue demons, drive away evil spirits and avoid filth. Especially the demonic wind coming from all directions, just a little bit of infiltration may destroy a furnace of the best elixir that has been cooked for a long time, and it has to be guarded against. ”

"Is it because the elixir will attract the covetousness of these demons and monsters?"

"Not bad. A good pill can conquer the heavens and the earth, and even change one's life against the sky, which will inevitably attract bees and butterflies. ”

"Why did Master choose this time to build the alchemy room?"

Xuan Yuzi squinted at him, and said angrily: "It's not thanks to you, because I want to refine a furnace for you to wash the scriptures and cut the marrow pill." ”

Youli scratched his head, opened his eyes wide, and said innocently: "It turned out that it was the apprentice who bothered the master." ”

"Silly boy, they are all their own family, and no matter how hard they work, they are willing to do it for the sake of the teacher. Your task is to cultivate with peace of mind, have you thoroughly understood the mental formula of the "Heavenly Heart Formula"?"

You stuck out his tongue and said leisurely: "It's much more obscure than the "Finger Xuantong Micro Heart Sutra", like a book from heaven." ”

"That's right. This mental method of refining the primordial spirit, but it is directly aimed at the true immortal avenue, and the requirements for the qualification of the divine soul are extremely high, and there is no chance to practice it as a teacher. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. ”

You Li immediately asked a few puzzled questions, and Xuan Yuzi also replied on the spot.

At the end, Xuan Yuzi advised: "Tomorrow I will prepare to open the furnace for alchemy, you take a good look on the side, study hard, and you will need to start refining many pills in the future." ”

You Li nodded again and again, glanced at the empty courtyard for a week, and sighed: "The expansion of the view has made it empty, but it looks deserted." ”

Xuan Yuzi stood on the corridor in front of the alchemy room with her back hand, looked at the cold moonlight in the sky, and said softly: "It's a little colder." In a few days, it's time to send a message to your senior brother to come over. Just invite the golden statues of Sanqing Tianzun and the ancestors, as well as the hanging statues of your ancestors and uncles. ”

After hearing this, he said excitedly: "Can you finally see the senior brother who you often talk about and is about to boast about the flowers?"

Then he seemed to realize the meaning of this, and asked, "What does Master mean, is this going to be used as a dojo for our sect?"

Xuan Yuzi sighed: "Then we have to see if the landlord here agrees." ”

While speaking, Lin Qin came over from the front yard and greeted from afar: "Dao Chief, Xiaoli, it's time for dinner." ”

The two stopped talking, walked through the lecture hall, and sat down at the stone table in the front yard.

The new Great Array of Guardianship is all-encompassing. Although it is a biting cold winter season outside, it is as warm as spring inside.

The stone table was also replaced with a larger one, and the four of them sat around to eat, not crowded at all.

Xuan Yuzi informed the table about the opening of the furnace tomorrow by the way.

When You Mingda heard this, he said cautiously: "Dao Chief, we are clumsy, and we don't understand the rules of the immortal family, in case we ......."

Xuan Yuzi waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Once born and twice cooked, you just have to listen to my command. In the tradition of this sect, the relatives of the disciples have always been favored. Since the establishment of this view, you and your husband have worked hard without merit. Xiaoli has already told me, but the two of you have bad qualifications, and you are old, so it is impossible to cultivate the Tao. In the future, if you have leisure, I will teach you some guidance and health preservation techniques, and cultivate your mind and nature here, and dare not say anything else, so that you can prolong your life for twenty or thirty years. ”

The husband and wife were overjoyed, and they were also very happy, and all three of them stood up and bowed to Xuan Yuzi.

Xuan Yuzi raised his hand, Shi Fatuo held the three of them, and said with a smile: "It's not an outsider, you don't have to see outsiders like this." ”

On the second day, You Li and his parents got up early, sprinkled and cleaned the court, bathed and changed clothes, which was very grand.

Xuan Yuzi led everyone to finish the incense in the ancestral hall, then moved to the alchemy room and began to assign tasks.

"You Jushi grinds medicine, Lin Jushi sorts out and classifies, and Xiaoli takes medicine. Xuan Yuzi said, especially explaining to Youli several measuring instruments to be used today, such as the square inch dagger. In addition, he also specially took out a page of measuring instrument comparison table for his reference.

After careful study, I roughly figured out that one can be divided into two baskets, one basket can be divided into five pinches, one pinch can be divided into four knives, and so on. As for the measuring instruments of larger capacity units such as liters, buckets, and hus, they will not be needed today.

Then, Xuan Yuzi took out eight pieces of black ore the size of a palm, placed them under the furnace, and then punched in a fireball talisman, and the eight pieces of ore burned and began to heat the Xuanyu Bagua Furnace.

Seeing that he was fascinated, Xuan Yuzi explained: "This is a long-lasting black charcoal ore that can produce higher temperatures than ordinary flames, and is the most common alchemy fire ore. ”

After speaking, Xuan Yuzi shouted to You Mingda and his wife who were busy at the table in the distance: "You Jushi, three handfuls of blood crystal powder." ”

As soon as You Mingda heard this, he knocked off a quarter of a dark red ore the size of a wine jar, crushed it in a stainless steel mortar and grinded it coarsely, and then selected pieces of blood crystal and poured them into the stone mortar for Lin Qin to grind into fine powder.

You Li ran over, carefully took out three pinches of ground blood crystal powder, and handed them to the master.

Xuan Yuzi poured it into a small cyan tripod the size of a gourd, and successively poured several kinds of ore powder such as dansha and realgar, and each time a mineral powder was added, a green plant juice was poured in, and stirred into a ball.

In this way, several people worked together to add common medicinal materials such as chicken blood vine and Chuanxiong, as well as the most precious main medicine - Lingxian chicken ginseng.

The palm-sized Lingxian chicken ginseng, in fact, has been planted for thousands of years, and is listed as the top grade raw material, which is an excellent thing to nourish the meridians of the human body.

After putting this main medicine of the spirit plant into the small cyan furnace known as the "Fire Ding", Xuan Yuzi walked up to the high platform, opened a small lattice door in the lower half of the Xuanyu Bagua Furnace, and put the small cyan Fire Ding into it.

Through the lattice door, you vaguely saw that the inner wall of the gossip furnace had been burned red, and the small fire tripod was thrown into it, and it was suspended in the furnace and turned on its own.

Xuan Yuzi closed the lattice door, smeared the sealing mud to prevent the hot gas from leaking, and shouted to Youli: "Open the eight doors of Dantai." ”

You Li opened the eight doors according to his words, Xuan Yuzi played a trick, the fire under the Xuanyu gossip furnace was flourishing, and the black charcoal ore was consumed at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
