Chapter 107: Lin Chen's Elixir Journey
()
Early the next morning, Qi Baili and the others left Mocheng under Lin Chen's farewell, they did not choose to inform the people of Yilou to pick them up, but chose to go to Qianyang County with Zhao Zhen.
In this way, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, and at the same time, it can also make the people in Qianyang County who are about to move a little bit fearful.
And the most important thing is that the first half of the month will be the birthday of Xue Ru, the mother of the Zhao family, and Zhao Zhen is already eager to rush back and bring Zhao Xuan to their mother, so that the three of them can reunite again after more than ten years and end a knot in Xue Ru's heart.
As Qi Baili and the others left Mocheng and went to Qianyang County, the strongest young generation of the current Ye and Qi families was only Lin Chen, who was still in Mocheng, and he also began to carry out his next plans.
Lin Chen now has only one plan, that is, to improve and restore his cultivation as soon as possible, although he does not seek to be able to recover to the level of the elixir stage within a year, but at least he must reach the peak of the innate realm.
Because he knew that during this period of time when he was recovering, the more time he spended, then his enemies would definitely make breakthroughs, and even now many of them had already entered a higher realm, and the strength of the enemies he faced would only be above the Spirit Sea Stage, and when he really recovered to the Spirit Sea Stage, their cultivation would only be higher.
As long as Lin Chen recovered to the cultivation of the Spirit Sea Stage as soon as possible, he would be able to close this gap as much as possible, and with his previous breakthrough experience, at least before he recovered to the Spirit Sea Stage, he would encounter many fewer obstacles.
It's just that Lin Chen is now facing a very dangerous problem, that is, his current cultivation has reached the peak of the sixfold of the day after tomorrow, and the complete liquid true qi in his body has reached the level of forty-eight drops, and he is only one drop away from successfully breaking through to the realm of the seventh level of the day after tomorrow.
As long as he broke through to the Acquired Sevenfold, Lin Chen believed that with his own speed and means, it would be easy for a cultivator to defeat the Acquired Eightfold, even if he was facing an ordinary innate mid-stage powerhouse, he could resist one or two.
It was also at this time that Lin Chen discovered that the meridians in his body had actually reached the limit of his endurance, and he could no longer fuse one more drop.
Moreover, he had already tried to fuse the forty-ninth drop, breaking through to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow in one go, but the destructive and oppressive power brought by the forty-ninth drop was far beyond his imagination, just by running a drop of true qi to one-fifth of the meridians, the meridians could not bear the slight cracking.
This was not the most important thing, when he ran to a third of the distance from both ends, it produced an incomparably intense pain that almost distracted him and almost blew his meridians.
It was precisely because of this attempt that the cracks in Lin Chen's meridians had not fully recovered, even under the combination of taking the Centennial Spirit Milk and transporting the cyan airflow, this kind of cracks were only slowly recovering, obviously the losses caused were beyond the ability to repair, and could only be carried out slowly.
There was a bolt from the blue when this incident appeared, which made Lin Chen unexpected.
Now that there were no medicinal materials that could strengthen the meridians, and there was no better treatment than Breitling Milk, Lin Chen could only put his cultivation on hold for the time being and began to find another means.
In this way, the Qi family has become his best choice, in his opinion, the Qi family, which has two alchemists, should have a way to solve his problem even if it can't solve his problem immediately.
In fact, just as he expected, when he asked Qi Min how to strengthen his meridians, he gave an answer in Qi Min's strange eyes when he looked at Lin Chen.
"There are two ways to enhance the meridians, the first is to directly take all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures that can work on the meridians like you did before, although the effect is good, but in the eyes of us alchemists, this practice is really a waste, but for most people who don't know how to alchemy, this is indeed the best choice."
"There is also a variety of pills that can strengthen the meridians specially refined for people refining the body, but the effect of this pill is too violent and violent, and it will explode and die if you are not careful, except for people who specialize in refining the body can take it, I have never heard of other people who can take it without dying.
However, there are actually some milder pills in these pills, and I have a pill recipe in my family, but unfortunately I can't get the main medicine that can be refined, otherwise you can take it.
It's just that there is another problem with refining this kind of elixir, that is, the main medicines you need are often varied, compared to the medicinal materials you took before, they are still rare and precious, and they are often rare and unsought, even my Qi family does not have much, and the difficulty of refining this kind of elixir is also extremely high, even the main medicine will be scrapped directly if there is a slight mistake."
The first method is relatively mild and belongs to the popular choice, and the second method will be life-threatening if the body is too weak, and this kind of elixir is even more precious, and few people will sell it.
For the sake of Lin Chen's safety, Qi Min also repeatedly warned Lin Chen that it was best not to choose the second option.
Because body refining is a very time-consuming way of cultivation, although the body practitioner will be far stronger than the ordinary cultivator, and in close combat, it will crush the cultivators who do not have the body refining in the same realm, but the body refining will also distract the cultivator, and they will often fall behind in their own cultivation.
Moreover, as the cultivator's cultivation grows, the quality of the true qi in the body will also strengthen the cultivator's various places, although the speed of improvement is very slow, it is more stable than the way of refining the body.
It's just that in Lin Chen's view, these two methods have one thing in common, that is, they both need to use medicinal materials.
In this way, Lin Chen also had a new plan, that is, to ask Qi Min to teach him the method of alchemy and become an alchemist himself, so that no matter where he was, he could collect this kind of medicinal materials at any time, and then he could refine them into pills.
Don't look at Lin Chen's previous cultivation to reach the Linghai stage, there are also many cultivation pills required by the spirit pill realm in the storage ring, and even some of them are in the innate realm, but most of these pills were snatched by him from his enemies, and for the way of alchemy, what he is good at is only refining medicine.
So after carefully considering the gains and losses, Lin Chen told Qi Min his request.
Qi Min wanted to refuse Lin Chen's request at first, but soon remembered the battle in the Chamber of Commerce, with Lin Chen's talent, his future cultivation will inevitably be above the innate realm, and even the elixir period will not be his end, and Lin Chen also has a good friendship with Qi Baili, and when he fully grows up in the future, the Qi family can also continue to grow under Lin Chen's protection, which is a very tempting investment, so after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
In an alchemy room of the Qi family, Qi Min stood in front of the alchemy furnace, while Lin Chen stood on his side, listening attentively to what Qi Min said.
"In our alchemy, from the selection, dosage, refining, fusion and final condensation of medicinal materials, it is necessary to be extremely accurate to be successful."
And in this whole process, there is another point that we need to pay attention to at all times, that is, the slightest difference in the heat of each step will affect the success of the final Ning Dan.
In view of Lin Chen, you have a good alchemy foundation, so in the next few days, in addition to letting you know all kinds of pills and medicinal materials, I will especially train your flame control ability, which is also something that every alchemist needs to master before getting started."
With Qi Min's gradual explanation and refining, a few hours later, a relatively low-level elixir appeared in front of Lin Chen's eyes.
Looking at a few round pills of similar size, Lin Chen, who could only refine pills, couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.
After a cursory explanation, Qi Min began to teach Lin Chen in a targeted manner, and at this time, his powerful comprehension once again played a huge role.
For the next three days, he was like a sponge that had never absorbed water, constantly absorbing and transforming these alchemy knowledge that he had never understood deeply into his own.
Five days later, under Qi Min's constant stimulation, Lin Chen's transformation between the flame control and the heat during alchemy had completely reached the point where he was handy, and at this point, Qi Min saw that Lin Chen could already try the real alchemy.
After seeing Lin Chen's strength, coupled with the amazing comprehension that Lin Chen had shown in the past few days, Qi Min also believed that he could refine some relatively rudimentary pills now, so he made such a decision.
Under Qi Min's arrangement, what Lin Chen needed to try to refine was an elixir that body refiners needed to use in the early stage, which was an upgraded version of the quenching body liquid, a pill called the Quenching Body Pill.
There are only three kinds of medicinal materials needed, and they are relatively common, although the Qi family does not specialize in refining this kind of pill, they still have a lot of medicinal materials, and this kind of pill is usually used as a kind of hand practice pill for people who have just started alchemy.
In fact, just as Qi Min expected, Lin Chen's true qi was indeed able to support him in refining the elixir, and the difficult training over the past few days was also the foundation that supported his alchemy, and after several attempts, Lin Chen finally succeeded in refining the first elixir.
Holding the elixir he had refined, feeling the slight warmth and faint medicinal fragrance coming from his palm, although it was only up to standard in Qi Min's evaluation, Lin Chen still couldn't stop being excited in his heart.
After that, in the midst of continuous failure and extremely low probability of success, Lin Chen's alchemy technique was also gradually improving, heading towards Qi Min's requirements.
And after going through this, he can be regarded as truly knowing the reason why alchemists are so rare.
You must know that there are hundreds of people in the Qi family, and for decades, there are only two alchemists, Qi Min and Qi Lei, and the others are still only alchemists.
This is naturally because the requirements for cultivators in the process of alchemy are too high, not only do they need to have enough true qi for flame supply, but they also need to be controlled by the mind to the extreme, once there is a slight mistake in any link, the entire furnace of pills will be completely scrapped.
Qi Min also saw Lin Chen's improvement, although he was amazed by Lin Chen's alchemy talent, he still demanded Lin Chen very strictly, and finally made a decision that surprised Lin Chen, that is, to give him a copy of the Danfang that the Qi family had collected for many years.
Since then, Lin Chen's alchemy has also reached the standard of a first-order alchemist, but if he wants to successfully refine the elixir in the pill, Lin Chen still needs to spend a while more to figure out the mystery.
