As soon as I came out of the Golden Garden, it was raining again.

There is a lot of rain in the summer in Shudi, and the couriers in Shudi are really hard!

Gu Hao smiled helplessly, cursing God in his heart, sped up the car, and rushed to the bridge under the highway in front of him to take shelter from the rain.

As usual, Gu Hao took out 10 yuan and handed it to the "beggar" under the bridge.

Because he couldn't hurry because of the heavy rain, Gu Hao paid attention to this "beggar" with his spare eyes, only to realize that he was not actually a "beggar", because he had never begged from anyone, at least Gu Hao had never seen him beg from anyone.

Beggars usually make themselves dirty and smelly, but this "beggar" tries to make himself as tidy as possible, his quilt is dirty but neatly folded, like the legendary tofu block.

There are also cooking pots and pans next to the quilt, and his hands and feet must have been injured, and his body is a little rickety, and he has lost the ability to work.

Gu Hao remembered that when he gave him 10 yuan for the first time, he was very resistant and unwilling to accept it, Gu Hao thought that he hated himself for giving less, and took out another 100 yuan to stuff it to him, he hesitated for a long time, rejected the 100 one, and only accepted 10 yuan.

Since then, Gu Hao felt that he was definitely not a beggar, he should have encountered some difficulties, but unfortunately his limited ability could not help him.

Gu Hao suddenly remembered the classic words against beggars on the Internet: "If you meet someone who asks for money, give him some food, and if you meet someone who asks for food, give him some money." ”

This person doesn't ask for food, nor does he ask for money, Gu Hao will still give him 10 yuan every time he passes by, even if his money is not enough for dinner!

After contacting Zheng Lele, he learned that Ning Jie was still in the intensive care unit, her condition was very stable, and she would be transferred to the general ward tomorrow; Ning Jie's mother would rush to Shudu tonight, and Gu Hao asked Sister Lele to comfort her after taking her to the Pearl Hotel.

"Master, when are we going to that strange place?"

"We'll talk about it later. Gu Hao wanted to wait until Ning Jie's condition stabilized before going.

"Xiaoqing, I feel that I have reached the bottleneck of breakthrough recently, but I have never been able to break through, why is this?"

"Master, don't be too anxious! Remember the 16-character mantra I said last time, it takes 10 years for a normal person to complete the Qi training stage and enter the foundation building period. It only took you a few days to practice to the sixth layer, which is already a cultivation miracle. ”

Gu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Xiaoqing seemed to think of something.

"That's right, master, in the process of cultivation, combining with the pill can greatly increase the success rate of the breakthrough! You can do your own alchemy! Even in the Demon Sealing Realm, alchemists are extremely rare!"

"Alchemy?"

Among the knowledge that Gu Hao came into contact with, he was skeptical and critical of alchemy. Because of this, when Xiaoqing mentioned "alchemy" earlier, Gu Hao always disdained it.

Gu Hao originally studied Chinese medicine, and he would graduate in a month or two, but he had to leave school due to some changes, of course he knew the four preparations of traditional Chinese medicine: ointment, pill, pill, and powder.

With the progress of science and the continuous development of the extraction process of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients, the preparation of "Dan" has been rarely used, let alone the ancient Dan furnace "alchemy".

"There are different types of pills, and the pills used for cultivation include Qi Gathering Pill, Zhuji Pill, Jiejin Pill, Infant Pill, and Transformation Pill, etc. Using different pills in different cultivation realms can greatly increase the chance of breaking through. ”

"I see!" Gu Hao was a little excited, but quickly became confused.

"Xiaoqing, you just said that alchemists are already very rare, but you are not human, why do you practice pills?"

"Master, the Demon Sealing Realm is not all demon cultivators, but also people and alchemists. I will invade consciousness, as long as the realm is lower than mine or demon cultivators, I can invade the other party's consciousness and obtain the other party's cheats. I have invaded the consciousness of many human alchemists, but unfortunately I am not a human being, and even if I have alchemy, I still can't do alchemy. ”

"In the Demon Sealing Realm, aren't the alchemists' realms high? It stands to reason that they shouldn't be the highest realm?"

"That's because they are too obsessed with alchemy, and they are too much in pursuit of the glory that refining high-grade pills brings to them. This is like a descendant of a certain martial arts family, who has good resources for practicing martial arts, but has abandoned martial arts and followed literature. ”

"I understand, you teach me alchemy right away!"

"Yes, master!"

A wisp of divine consciousness entered the brain, and just like when he first learned the method of practicing qi, Gu Hao quickly learned alchemy.

Through his understanding of alchemy, his current realm can only refine the Qi Gathering Pill and can also refine the Zhuji Dan, but he needs too much True Qi and it is difficult to succeed.

Gu Hao looked at the materials he needed, and couldn't help but frown.

The medicinal materials needed for the Qi Gathering Pill are very ordinary, and they can be bought in ordinary pharmacies, while Zhuji Dan requires a few rare medicinal materials, and it may not be easy to find them in ordinary pharmacies. However, the most difficult thing is not the medicinal herbs, but the alchemy furnace!

You should be able to use a pressure cooker, so give it a try!

It is better to act than to be excited, Gu Hao hurriedly rushed out of the door and bought a large package of medicinal herbs and a pressure cooker with the largest size in proportion.

Gu Hao originally studied Chinese medicine, and he has an understanding of the medicinal properties and efficacy of each herb, and he also knows many classic Chinese medicine prescriptions by heart.

However, the more than a dozen medicinal materials required by Ningqi Dan do not have the relationship between kings, ministers, advocates, and envoys in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, and the compatibility of several medicinal materials violates the taboo of "eighteen antis, nineteen fears" of traditional Chinese medicine preparations.

If according to the method of probability permutation and combination, the probability of correctly finding out the prescription of the Qi Condensing Pill from thousands of Chinese medicinal materials is lower than the probability of winning 100 special prize tickets in a row, if you don't know how to do alchemy, absolutely no one can refine the Qi Condensing Pill!

After careful preparation, Gu Hao strictly followed the steps of alchemy, and added the Yiwei medicinal materials to the "Dan Furnace" at different times. Gu Hao practiced the sixth-layer realm of qi, kept pinching his fingers and guiding his true qi, and soon became tired and collapsed.

After about four hours, pinching in the last Qi Dan Finger Decision, before the heat dissipated, Gu Hao couldn't wait to open the pressure cooker, and there was a black pill lying in the hot residue of Chinese medicine, but it was cold in his hand.

Dancheng!

"Congratulations to the master, it was successful!"

The elixir melted in the mouth, and streams of spiritual energy immediately filled all the meridians of the body, turning into wisps of true qi through the Ren veins in the dantian, and with the continuous convergence of true qi, the sea of qi rose more than once, and it seemed that it would soon be burst.

Gu Hao knew that this was a sign of an imminent breakthrough! he quickly meditated, constantly guiding the True Qi to rush through the Du Pulse and distribute it to the limbs and hundreds of remains.

In the critical period of a cultivator's breakthrough, the most important thing is to channel the true qi, if it cannot be channeled correctly, it will cause irreversible damage to the sea of qi, and from then on there will be no chance of cultivation. If the sea of qi is destroyed, the chaotic true qi will break through the meridians of the whole body, and at least the meridians will be completely broken, and the fire will go crazy, and the worst will be fatal!

As the true qi no longer poured in, Gu Hao channeled the true qi distributed in the limbs and hundreds of bones into the qi sea through the Du vein, and the qi sea actually doubled!

"Whew!" Gu Hao exhaled a turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Finally, the breakthrough was successful!
