Nangong Quan's eyes lit up, and then he stood in the alchemy room, and Zhou Ding said: "In the future, you will come to me directly after you have rested, and I will teach you and the little girl in the glass to refine the pill alone." Start with the simplest pill refining, and then learn the rune array, learning and practicing are indispensable, and you will not take a break for an hour to go to the Spirit Beast Peak. ”

Nangong Quandao: "However, you said before that I would go to the second master first..."Zhou Ding interrupted: "I changed my mind, I will tell the second master you, you can take some of the medicine residue here, it will be more convenient." ”

Nangong Quan continued to ask, "Then my cultivation time will be gone." Zhou Ding said: "What I arranged for you is cultivation, and you will understand later." Well, without further ado, I heard that you have an understanding of the nature of fire, so let's hear it. ”

Nangong Quan thought for a while: "The so-called fire is that the substance releases high temperature by burning with air, and the high temperature can ignite other things. ”

Zhou Dingrao was interesting: "Oh, then tell me what the flame of your Flame Palm burns on? Why don't you feel the heat?" Nangong Quandao: "I rely on the fire aura in my body, flowing through special acupoints, meridians, and gathering into an entity on my hand, the flame will burn my clothes, but it won't hurt me, other people's flames are powerful, and I can't bear it." ”

Zhou Ding nodded: "Although you are a pseudo-heavenly spirit root, your ability to comprehend is not bad." I'm going to talk about the main points that you need to keep in mind. Nangong Quan nodded solemnly.

Zhou Ding continued: "Alchemy is to bring the pharmacology and spirituality of many heavenly and earthly treasures into full play, and knead them together through special techniques and utensils, which are all written in the book, so I won't say anything more." What I want to say is that alchemy is not a one-stop process of putting everything together and burning it with fire, and kneading it with your hands to become a dan, the year, proportion, and order of the materials are all exquisite, and the detailed things are all on the alchemy map, one drawing and one dan. These are all made by predecessors, and we all eat ready-made, but when your alchemy reaches a high level of attainment, you can also create your own elixir, choose the materials and make the map by yourself, but now it is all a fantasy. ”

Zhou Ding paused and said: "In today's alchemy world, Liuli Cave is the best, although my alchemy can be compared with them, but the alchemy environment here is always not as good as there, and their alchemy tools are far better than ours." As he spoke, Zhou Ding had a yearning look on his face.

Then Zhou Ding Zhengse: "However, in the final analysis, alchemy is the most fundamental, there is no shortcut, it must be accumulated little by little, you must have seen and learned a lot before you were asked to do chores in my Dan pharmacy, but you still fail to refine it now, you need to be very familiar with each spiritual material." ”

Zhou Ding walked to the side of the spiritual material: "For example, this spirit grass, star spirit grass, a very common spirit grass, can only grow at night, and withers when it sees the sun, its function is to neutralize the medicinal properties, and it is often used with two spirit grasses with similar medicinal properties, and the use must be put in before the two spirit grasses are put in, and the temperature at this time cannot be too high..." After speaking, Zhou Ding took out a piece of jade slip, and Nangong took it with both hands, this is the crystallization of the third master's life, this is something that all the famous books he has read can't compare, but the third master is willing to show himself, which is enough to show his weight in his heart.

Zhou Ding said: "The second brother has only accepted one apprentice from you in his life, I have many disciples, and you are not the only one who has a copy of the handbook, you just have to try your best to learn, you can learn as much as you can, understand?" Nangong Quan nodded solemnly, Zhou Ding sighed softly, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "There are a lot of people who can see, but there are no people who really learn." ”

Nangong put it all into the storage bag, and Zhou Ding said: "Ninety percent of alchemy is refined with fire, but there are also other refining methods, such as water refining and earth refining. There are also some evil sect refining methods, blood refining methods. There are others, I won't go into details. Your cultivation of the five elements is extremely helpful in alchemy, so that the pharmacological understanding of various medicinal materials will be more thorough. Do you know why I'm asking you about the nature of fire?"

Nangong Quan is now learning and selling: "Because ninety percent of alchemy is refined with fire." Zhou Ding nodded: "That's right, it just so happens that the exercises you practice are suitable for alchemy, let me see your Flame Palm." ”

Nangong Quan raised his hands, and the two palms ignited flames. Zhou Ding glanced at it, and also raised his arm "whew", Zhou Ding's palm ignited two large fireballs, both reached the height of the roof, and then the two flames shrank, but their color was more crimson, and the temperature was much higher than that of Nangong Quan's hand, some curtains were slightly curly when heated, and a monk like Nangong Quan who cultivated both water and fire was a little unbearable, Zhou Ding took the flames and asked, "What's the difference?"

Nangong Quandao: "The amount of spiritual energy released is not the same as the degree of gathering of spiritual energy in the air. Zhou Ding cast an appreciative look: "That's right, this is the gap in cultivation, in addition, if it takes a long time, the duration is not the same, you and I throw a fireball at the same time, my speed will be faster than you, and the speed of ignition will be faster than you." ”

Zhou Ding walked to the table next to him again, and said to the skull-sized alchemy furnace: "Let's talk about the alchemy furnace again, the alchemy furnace is divided into grades, this is the lowest, the first-grade alchemy furnace, the pill refined is also the first-grade, and at this time, the alchemist who refines the pill is the first-grade alchemist." ”

Nangong Quan was curious: "Then, how many alchemists is the third master?" Zhou Ding said: "Under normal circumstances, anyone, as long as he knows how to practice fire-based exercises, ordinary low-level first-grade pills can be made, so there is no first-grade alchemist in the world of alchemy." In the future, don't tell others that you are a first-class alchemist. As for me, that is, the seventh grade. Nangong Quan thought that the highest ten grades, the third master was also one of the best in the alchemy class, and it seemed that the seventh grade was already very high.

Nangong Quan asked again: "That..."Zhou Ding knew what he was going to ask: "There is only one recognized eighth-grade alchemist in the immortal cultivation world today, as for the ninth rank and the tenth grade..."Speaking of this, Zhou Ding shook his head helplessly, the lack of refining alchemy talents in the immortal cultivation world today is not a matter of one or two days, but this is an era of rejuvenation, and they are the strongest backing for cultivating new forces, thinking of this, Zhou Ding couldn't help but ignite a nameless flame in his heart.

Immediately Zhou Ding said: "The surge of spiritual energy will also be accompanied by the increase in immortal cultivation talents, you are the student I teach in private, I don't ask you to reach my level, I only hope that you can pass on alchemy to the next generation, how much can be taught, now alchemy has been lost to my generation, I don't want it to disappear from this world one day." ”

Nangong Quan didn't expect Zhou Ding to talk about such a heavy topic, nor did he expect that Elder Zhou Ding, who was the most indifferent on weekdays, would have such lofty ambitions, and the respect in his eyes couldn't help but increase a little more.

Zhou Ding coughed lightly: "Cough, it's crooked again." Let's not talk about the structure of the tripod, just get started, and talk about it while refining. Zhou Ding made a few seals on his chest, and put his left hand under the Dan furnace, and the Dan furnace became red in a moment: "Isn't it familiar? This Dan furnace has a magic circle, you just need to remember that just a few seals of spiritual energy will flow from the correct meridians, from the palm of the acupoint flow into the alchemy furnace at the bottom of the magic circle automatically transformed into flames, alchemy sometimes and mortal cooking have the same effect, hot pot, add vegetables and ingredients, the steps are similar. ”

Zhou Ding's right hand shook to Ding: "You can feel it, and now the temperature can add the spiritual materials needed today." Nangong Quan stepped forward to learn from Zhou Ding, and with a wave of his right hand on the Dan furnace, he probably remembered the current temperature.

Zhou Ding said again: "Now the temperature is here, but it can't be higher, because the first flavor spirit grass added today can't stand the temperature too high, and the temperature can only be increased after it is dissolved with the second flavor spirit grass, so temperature control is very important." After that, his right hand made a few seals with one hand, so that Nangong Quan shook it, and Nangong Quan did it, and sure enough, the temperature was about the same as just now, Zhou Ding continued: "In order to facilitate your learning, the Danfang you choose today can be opened, and you have to pay attention to it yourself in the future, if you don't explain whether you can open the lid, then the less time to open the lid, the better, which will affect your chances of becoming a Dan." With that, with a wave of his right hand, the lid of the Dan furnace slipped and fell lightly on the table, and Nangong Quan could clearly see the situation inside the Dan furnace. The inner wall of the red Dan furnace may fall off the skin when touched, which shows how high the temperature of the inside of the Dan furnace is after the addition and multiplication of the magic circle.

Zhou Ding waved his right hand again, and the herbs that couldn't be named flew over and entered the Dan furnace: "The name and medicinal properties of the elixir are in the handwriting, you go to see it yourself, you have a good memory, you should remember it quickly, and you should read it from time to time, it is best to copy it yourself, and I don't need to emphasize the truth that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen." ”

Nangong Quan nodded, and looked intently at the elixir in the Dan furnace: "The elixir is different from the mortal flowers and grasses, with such a high temperature, the ordinary mortal flowers and grasses have long been turned into ashes, while the spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses are different." After that, I saw that the spirit grass did not become ashes, and directly turned into an oily substance, shrunk into a ball, dripping and spinning in the Dan furnace, and then Zhou Ding beckoned again, and several spiritual materials directly entered the Ding, but they melted into oil in different areas.

Zhou Ding said again: "I'm here for convenience, a few flavors of spirit grass directly put in, you just started refining or one by one, some spirit grass can be taken out after melting, some can't, that's because some of the spirit herbs will change after melting in the air for a long time." Some of the fusion temperature is the same, some are different, so they can't be refined in the same furnace, so there is a saying that there are multiple furnaces and the same refining, however, some Dan furnaces are special, and the temperature of the Dan furnace can be controlled at any time, and some of them are cold and hot, which is the gap between the Dan furnaces. The Dan furnaces used to refine different pills are also different, and there are ones in the notes, so I won't say more. ”

After all the elixirs in the Ding were melted and mixed, Zhou Ding's expression was solemn: "No matter what kind of elixir is made, don't be careless at the critical moment of Cheng Dan, any variable may make the pill Cheng Dan fail." I saw that Zhou Ding increased the temperature, the water vapor evaporated rapidly, and a large round pill was divided into several small round pills by Zhou Ding: "The number of elixirs used is different, the number of pills is different, and the size of the pill can also be critical when it becomes a pill. After becoming a pill, the quality of the pill is also very important, and the so-called quality is the content of the medicinal properties of the pill. If some of the pills dissipate directly, some will leave residues, we eat it is useless, sometimes it may be harmful, and the digestive function of the spirit beasts is far stronger than ours, only a hundred benefits and no harm, many sects dare to make pills with great fanfare There are also reasons for this. ”

Nangong Quan thought that his special physique, touching it with his own hands could improve the quality of the pill, that is, to increase the medicinal content of the pill, and even the medicinal properties of the medicine residue could be reactivated, this talent would increase with the improvement of his cultivation level, and now that he thought about it, it was really incredible, and he really did not make a mistake in taking the path of alchemy.
