Volume 1 The Beginning of the Edge Chapter 16 The Art of Alchemy

Soon after the martial arts competition, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation was stable in the middle stage of soul melting, and he felt that the progress of his cultivation began to slow down.

The higher the realm of cultivation, the stronger the aura required, and it is normal for the progress of cultivation to slow down, and Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power has been compressed and condensed three times, which is more powerful than the average mid-stage of soul fusion, so there will be more aura required to cultivate to the consummation of the mid-stage of soul fusion.

And under such circumstances, Li Xuanfeng still cultivated to the mid-stage consummation of the soul fusion half a month later. A normal Soul Fusion Realm disciple can go from the middle stage of Soul Fusion to Consummation within a month, and his talent is already amazing.

And Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power, which he had condensed three times, had still completed his cultivation in half a month, the key was that he still felt that his cultivation speed was too slow, and the Five Elements Venerable began to be a little unsure of how to hit him.

After the cultivation reached the consummation of the middle stage of soul fusion, Li Xuanfeng began to use the secret method of refining the spirit to compress and condense the spiritual power, but the middle stage of the spirit melting was much stronger than the early stage, so the speed of compression and condensation also slowed down accordingly, and it took about five days to complete the spiritual power again after compressing it once. Such a speed made Li Xuanfeng very helpless.

"Venerable Five Elements, do you know the art of alchemy?" Li Xuanfeng suddenly remembered the introduction of the alchemy technique he had seen in the classics.

Refining the treasures of heaven and earth, gathering the aura of the five elements, breaking the bottleneck of cultivation, and becoming a great avenue of cultivation.

"Of course, I was a Dan Dao Grandmaster back then, and I could refine the pills of the Third Realm!" Venerable of the Five Elements seemed to smile, and had already guessed Li Xuanfeng's thoughts.

"Then you teach me alchemy, I want to make my cultivation faster. Li Xuanfeng couldn't wait to plead.

"No problem, you happen to have fire attribute spiritual power, and it is easier for you to learn the art of alchemy. The Venerable Five Elements readily agreed, learning the art of alchemy, which is indeed very convenient for improving cultivation in the future, so he began to explain the art of alchemy to Li Xuanfeng.

"The early alchemy technique was to use spiritual fire to refine the essence of the herbs and condense them into pills. Because many herbs have impurities or toxicity, these impurities can be effectively removed after refining with spiritual fire, so that the essence of the herbs is easier to be absorbed by the human body, and will not accumulate impurities. ”

"When your alchemy technique reaches the realm of transcendence, it is no longer limited to refining heaven and earth treasures, everything in heaven and earth can be refined into pills, and the creation of heaven and earth can achieve itself. There was once an earth-shattering power to refine a planet to swallow, and the cultivation broke through the bottleneck, shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods!"

The picture of the refining planet swallowing appeared in Li Xuanfeng's mind, and the shock in his eyes couldn't be dissipated for a long time, someone was able to refine the planet and swallow it, what kind of earth-shattering cultivation could do it.

Venerable Five Elements did not have the slightest reservation about Li Xuanfeng, explained the alchemy technique in great detail, and even took the trouble to answer all kinds of questions he raised.

After that, Li Xuanfeng went to the trading pavilion of the Xuanling Sect to buy some low-grade medicinal herbs, and spent twenty spirit stones in the storage bag, these low-grade medicinal herbs were relatively cheap, and twenty spirit stones were enough to buy a small pile. Among them, there are Juling grass, three-flowered fruit, and Linggui branch.

The Venerable of the Five Elements asked Li Xuanfeng to find some ordinary branches first, so that he could condense the spiritual fire for refining.

"Alchemy has extremely high requirements for the control of flames, otherwise it will be easy to burn the medicinal materials, you are not skilled enough to control the spiritual fire now, first take some ordinary branches to practice your hands, and peel off the bark of the branches with spiritual fire. ”

Li Xuanfeng mobilized his spiritual power to generate a spiritual fire in his right hand, but for the first time, he underestimated the power of the spiritual fire, and threw the branch directly into the spiritual fire, and the branch burned out in an instant.

Li Xuanfeng looked embarrassed, took out a branch again, and this time carefully mobilized the spiritual fire to roast around the bark, constantly rotating the branch.

After a few breaths, the bark of the tree was gradually burned to ashes, but the heart of the tree wrapped in the bark also showed a jet-black color, obviously Li Xuanfeng did not control the spiritual fire perfectly, and it had already scorched the inside.

After that, Li Xuanfeng took out a few branches again and practiced patiently, and after summarizing several failures, he finally managed to use the flame to separate the bark and the heart of the tree, and burn the bark, and the heart of the tree was not damaged.

At this time, the voice of the Five Elements Venerable echoed in Li Xuanfeng's mind, and he was finally slightly satisfied with Li Xuanfeng's performance.

The message transmitted by the Venerable Five Elements came to Li Xuanfeng's mind, which was a pill prescription.

Gathering Spirit Pill, a first-class elixir, can quickly improve spiritual power or be used to restore the spiritual energy consumed in the body, and it is refined by extracting the essence of Gathering Spirit Grass and Saphettia. The essence of the spirit grass is in the stem, and the essence of the salvania is in the core of the fruit wrapped in the flesh......

Li Xuanfeng carefully browsed the information in his mind, closed his eyes and thought about the details he paid attention to, and began the first refining.

The Gathering Spirit Pill is a kind of elixir for the introduction of alchemy, as long as it is a disciple who has some talent for alchemy, it can be easily mastered within half a month. However, the alchemy qualifications are different, and the quality of the refined pills will also be different.

Li Xuanfeng had used a spiritual fire for a short time when he tried to unseal the Purple Exterminating Stick before, and coupled with the use of tree branches to practice, his control of the spiritual fire had reached a relatively proficient level.

Li Xuanfeng quickly mastered the method of removing impurities and extracting essence, but it was inevitable that it would not reach the point of being very pure at the beginning of refining, but it was enough to refine the Gathering Spirit Pill.

Li Xuanfeng carefully controlled the essence extracted by the spiritual fire to fuse and refine, and carefully controlled the temperature of the spiritual fire.

After the first refining, after absorbing the experience of refining and the explanation of the Venerable of the Five Elements, he successfully refined a Gathering Spirit Pill for the second time. Looking at the gray-green round elixir in his hand, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were excited.

"What's there to be happy about, the medicinal materials you put in this time are completely enough to refine two Gathering Spirit Pills, but you only refined one, wasting half of the medicinal materials, and you are embarrassed to be complacent. “

Before Li Xuanfeng could be happy, the Five Elements Venerable directly poured a basin of cold water on him, causing the excitement in his eyes to dissipate directly.

The lost Li Xuanfeng refined again, his proficiency increased rapidly, and he was already able to refine two pills for the third time, and just when Li Xuanfeng was about to be happy, the cold water of the Five Elements Venerable was poured down again.

"The few Gathering Spirit Pills you have refined now, almost all of them belong to the lower grade, and only one barely reaches the middle grade, that is because you have not cleared the impurities thoroughly enough, such an elixir, not only is the efficacy much lower, but it will also allow the body to accumulate herb impurities, if you can't effectively remove the impurities in the future, it may affect the breakthrough of cultivation. ”

"Now the few pills you refine, don't take them by yourself first, and then refine the better quality pills before taking them. These low-quality pills can be sold to the trading pavilion of your Xuanling Sect in exchange for spirit stones, the art of alchemy requires a large number of spirit stones to buy medicinal materials, you lack spirit stones, you can only refine the pills yourself and sell them. ”

In fact, Li Xuanfeng knew that he could go to Shizun Shen Hua to get cultivation resources, but he didn't want to trouble Shizun, he didn't want to owe too much, after all, Shizun already had the grace to save his life and bring him into the cultivation world, and he was just an orphan brought back by Shizun because of pity.

And Shen Hua actually didn't treat Li Xuanfeng as an outsider, but according to the consideration of normal disciples, there was not much cultivation resources needed in the middle stage of Spirit Fusion, and ten spirit stones plus the spirit stones that Li Xuanfeng won in the battle were enough for him to use for a long time. Moreover, Shen Hua had already asked the eldest disciple Zheng Cheng to prepare some cultivation pills and spirit stones, preparing to find an opportunity to give them to Li Xuanfeng.

After listening to the Five Elements Venerable's words, Li Xuanfeng once again learned from his experience and continued refining, and from time to time asked the Five Elements Venerable how to improve the quality of the pill.

With the continuous refining, Li Xuanfeng's proficiency in refining the Gathering Spirit Pill has been continuously improved, and the quality has become higher and higher, and he can already refine the high-grade Gathering Spirit Pill.

At the beginning, Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power would be exhausted after refining for half a day, and he could only absorb the spiritual power to recover and then continue refining. Slowly, it can be refined for most of the day, and with the proficiency of spiritual fire control, the consumption of spiritual power is reduced a lot again.

During this period, the Venerable Five Elements once again passed on the message of a pill to Li Xuanfeng, which was a healing elixir, called Huiyuan Dan, which was refined with a three-flower fruit and a spirit cinnamon branch.

With the continuous refining, Li Xuanfeng's refining of these two pills has reached the point of perfection, and on the last day, all the refining is of top-grade quality, and it has reached the number of four pills that can be refined at the same time, and the refining speed has increased greatly.

At this time, Li Xuanfeng was still on the fifth day of alchemy, and if he let other alchemists know, I am afraid that his eyes might fall in shock.
