Chapter 7 Magic Weapon Pill
After sorting out a general idea of what needed to be done in the near future, Ye Qiuli temporarily put aside the cultivation of the "Nine Rank Ascension Immortal Formula", and instead took out the jade pupil slip that recorded the "Baicao Danlu" and "Changfeng Treasure Jian", and began to learn the relevant knowledge of identifying treasures and alchemy refiners.
This "Baicao Danlu" is the cultivation notes of the seventh-level scattered immortal Baicao Sanren of the first alchemy sect in the cultivation realm, the rejuvenation valley, which not only records his cultivation experience of success and failure in the cultivation process of nearly 10,000 years, but also records in detail a secret method of alchemy medicine that is also the top in the cultivation realm, summarizes and includes most of the spirit herb elixirs and alchemy materials that have appeared in the cultivation realm, and also records the utility attributes, materials, and refining methods of many well-known pills in the cultivation realm.
The "Treasure of Changfeng" is the cultivation notes of Wei Changfeng, the seventh-level scattered immortal of the Shenhuo Gate, the first refining weapon faction in the cultivation realm, which also records his cultivation experience of success and failure in the cultivation process of nearly 10,000 years, and records in detail a secret method of refining treasures that is also the top in the cultivation realm, summarizes and includes most of the heavenly and earthly treasures and refining materials that have appeared in the cultivation realm, and collects and records the functional attributes, materials, and refining methods of many well-known magic weapons in the cultivation realm.
Although Lu Yan also left relevant information records, but he scattered one, without any sect, without any strong group support, how could the collected materials be as complete as the Rejuvenation Valley and Shenhuo Gate, the two most professional top sects in the cultivation world, for countless years, so Ye Qiuli didn't want to waste time doing some useless work, so he directly took out these two classic works and started reading.
With the experience of reading the "Nine Grades of Ascension to Immortals" last time, coupled with the fact that his own cultivation strength has improved again, in the process of checking the jade slip this time, Ye Qiuli did not experience any dangerous situation again, and he achieved success very easily, although he was still a little dizzy and dizzy after that, but the state of the whole person was much better.
The information recorded in the jade slips of "Baicao Danlu" and "Changfeng Baojian" is very huge, and it is dozens of times more than the content of "Nine Grades of Ascending to Immortals". You know, that is a summary of Lu Yan's lifelong cultivation experience. From this, it can also be seen how much intangible wealth has been accumulated by these great sects that have been passed down for millions of years, and the aspect of alchemy making alone is far more than all the knowledge mastered by a Mahayana cultivator.
With so much content, Ye Qiuli didn't understand all of them, for the time being, he just selected some parts that he could understand, and he could use his current cultivation strength to read them in detail. It is mainly an overall introduction to some alchemy and refining tools, an introduction to the nature and function of the mainstream magic weapons and elixirs in the cultivation realm, and an introduction to the nature, function and collection methods of various spiritual herbs and elixirs, heavenly and earthly treasures, and cherished materials.
In addition, he also learned some refining methods for low-level elixirs and beginner-level magic weapons. As for the refining methods of those high-level magic weapons and pills, because he hadn't cultivated the Yuan Infant yet, he couldn't use the Samadhi True Fire, and it was useless to learn it, so he chose to skip directly. In addition, the cultivation experience of Baicaosan and Wei Changfeng was the same, and they all skipped over for the time being, and they would study in detail when needed in the future.
According to the introduction of "Baicao Danlu", alchemy is to use the aura of heaven and earth or the cultivator's own cultivation to quench the elixir materials with various true fires, take their essence, discard their dross, and then supplement them with seals, prohibitions, formations and other means to optimize the essence of many materials according to the appropriate proportion, list them in an orderly manner, and finally condense them into pills, refining them into various elixirs that can be used by cultivators.
Although this skill is very simple to say, it is actually extremely complicated to do, there are very few alchemy masters in the cultivation world who are truly proficient in alchemy skills and whose skills have reached the realm of grandmasters, and ordinary cultivators may not see one in their lifetime.
The same is true for refining tools, relying on cultivation and skills to train various materials existing in nature into magic weapons and magic weapons suitable for cultivators.
The process of refining weapons is similar to that of alchemy, and it is also extremely complicated, in addition to having higher requirements for true fire and cultivation, the refiner must also have profound attainments in formation layout and prohibition superposition. Therefore, if you want to achieve something on the way of refining weapons, you must have talents, exercises, materials, famous teachers, and other conditions! Those master-level figures are also only a handful, and ordinary people are rarely seen.
In addition to the in-depth description of what alchemy refiners are, the two encyclopedic data classics of alchemy and artifact making, "Baicao Danlu" and "Changfeng Baojian", also give a detailed introduction to the mainstream elixirs and magic weapons used in the cultivation realm, which also includes the names, shapes, functions, materials, and specific refining methods of countless common pills and magic weapons in the cultivation realm.
After looking at them carefully and by category, after spending a lot of effort, Ye Qiuli finally had a relatively systematic understanding of the mainstream elixirs and magic weapons in the cultivation realm.
It is divided into two categories with spars, and the four grades are about the same, and in the cultivation realm, there are also types and grades of elixirs and magic weapons. Generally speaking, pills can be divided into four categories, four grades, and magic weapons can be divided into four categories, three grades, and several small grades.
The four categories of pills can be roughly divided into healing and recovery, attribute enhancement, auxiliary breakthrough, and special effects. Among them, healing and recovering pills are more common, the Baohua Dan and Shuiyun Jade Liquid that Ye Qiuli had seen in the Qiankun bag before belong to this kind of pills, and the famous Liyuan Pill and Buyuan Pill in the cultivation realm are also outstanding representatives.
Attribute enhancement pills can be divided into two types: cultivation enhancement and other ability enhancements. Among them, the pills that enhance cultivation are also very common, the Peiyuan Pill that Ye Qiuli took before can be regarded as one, and other pills that can increase how much power can be increased by eating one also belong to this category. And the pills that enhance other abilities are relatively rare, and the grades and effects are also different, like the Tianlingzi that Ye Qiuli had taken before is one of the best goods, after using it, it can transform the brain domain and greatly enhance the spiritual intelligence of cultivators.
In addition, the pills that assist in breakthroughs are also relatively common, and the marrow cleansing pill of the I Ching is considered to be one, and the calming incense can also be counted. And the most famous of them is the Infant Ji Dan that helps Jindan stage cultivators successfully break through to the Yuan Infant Stage, which can almost guarantee a 100% success rate of breakthroughs, basically only the top famous sects can take it out for disciples to use, and casual cultivators don't even think about it.
The last one is a very rare special effect elixir in the cultivation realm. The most famous of this kind of elixir is the Treasure Pill for Crossing Tribulation, and if a cultivator can take this pill before crossing the tribulation, then the success rate of his crossing will reach a terrifying eighty percent! You must know that the most famous summary of the success or failure of the Tribulation in the cultivation world is only four words -- "Ten crossings and nine annihilations!", and the success rate of eighty percent can be imagined how amazing it is.
In addition to the different types, the various elixirs in the cultivation realm also have different grades, according to the strength of the elixir itself, it can be roughly divided into four types: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade and best grade.
Among them, there are countless middle-grade and lower-grade elixirs, and ordinary cultivators can refine them even if they find all the materials; high-grade elixirs require very clever alchemy skills to be successfully refined; and although the top-grade elixirs are the rarest, they are the most famous, and their effects are the most mysterious and extraordinary. Treasures such as Tianlingzi, Infant Ji Dan, Lishen Pill, and Silence Extinguishing Pill are all top-quality pills, and they are basically the famous signboards of some famous alchemy families and grandmasters.
Of course, there are still some elixirs in the cultivation realm that have been handed down from the immortal realm or refined by scattered immortal masters are not counted in this grade. Those things are so rare that they basically don't circulate among cultivators, and they belong to legendary existences just like scattered immortal masters and nether immortals.
After talking about the elixir, let's look at the magic weapon. The classification of magic weapons in the cultivation realm is slightly different from that of spirit pills, which are mainly divided into four categories: offensive magic weapons, defensive magic weapons, auxiliary magic weapons and special action magic weapons;
The magic weapon is mainly a magic weapon used by cultivators before the infancy, not to mention the power for the time being, the most important feature is that it cannot be taken into the body, and it is generally carried with you or stored in the storage magic weapon, and you can use it directly when you need it. Dharma weapons are generally divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and cultivators before the Yuan Infant Stage can refine them. Treasures such as the myriad masks, phantom night clothes, Wanli Idle Court boots, and cloud dragon water pendants that Ye Qiuli once used were all considered magic weapons.
The most significant feature is that it can be materialized and energized, and it can be taken into the body by the cultivator, and the Yuan Infant is used for warmth, and the quality and ability will slowly improve after years and months. Spiritual weapons are generally divided into four levels: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and best grade, at least they must be cultivated to the master of the Yuan Infant before they can be refined, and if they want to fully play their role, they must also have the cultivation above the Yuan Infant Period. The magic weapon of this level is the most mainstream magic weapon in the cultivation realm, and the number and variety are also the largest.
Strictly speaking, treasures are also spiritual weapons, and the reason why they are divided separately is because they have been inherited for a long time, have experienced many heavenly tribulations without being destroyed, and their own texture and power have been extraordinary, far superior to Tongji;
Treasures are also very rare in the cultivation realm, and they are basically in the hands of some great cultivators with a long heritage, as the treasures of their town factions, or in the hands of some top masters, as their ultimate support against the Heavenly Tribulation. The Liuyun Immortal Ring that Ye Qiuli obtained was a treasure weapon, a quasi-immortal weapon that the Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortal Wei Changfeng had worked hard to refine, and the internal space was far beyond that of an ordinary storage ring, and it also had other special functions.
