Chapter 24: Alchemy
Tong Jing has already left, and he even forgot to arrange a place for Ning Chen. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional.
Ning Chen had no choice but to find an empty wooden house in this row of wooden houses. After closing the door, he took the jade slip that Tong Jing threw to him when he left, and began to look at it.
This jade slip records the name of the type of spirit grass planted in the Spirit Grass Pavilion, as well as the location of the Spirit Grass Garden.
An hour later, Ning Chen had already mastered this information. The jade slips also turned into jade shards. He got up and left the wooden house and walked towards the Spirit Grass Garden.
In the following month, he took care of the spirit grass and spirit trees in many spirit grass gardens, observing and identifying the growth habits and changes of the spirit grass and spirit trees.
Unconsciously, he had a slight affinity with these spirit grass spirit trees, although it was not close, but it could play a great role in alchemy.
In the past month, I have also met with Tongjing and Gu Mingcheng a few times, but there was no conflict, just treating each other coldly and passing by. And some of the other inner disciples were all indifferent to him, and they were busy with their own things.
In addition, Ning Chen had already condensed and refined the remaining two drops of essence blood. Just wait for the opportunity to go to the place of bones to complete the transaction with Gu Yunyan.
The loss of three drops of essence and blood, except for feeling that the body's qi and blood have suffered some losses, is not a big deal.
At this time, he stood in front of the gate of the Spirit Grass Pavilion Palace, waiting for Tian Feng to come and pick him up.
It wasn't until noon that Tian Feng harnessed the giant sword to descend on the Spirit Grass Pavilion.
"Dust boy, come up. Tian Feng didn't get down from the giant sword, but beckoned to Ning Chen and ordered him to get on the giant sword.
As soon as Ning Chen jumped on the giant sword that was more than five meters high in front of him, Tian Feng controlled the giant sword and began to fly upward.
"Dust boy, how does it feel to be in the Spirit Grass Pavilion for a month?" Tian Feng asked.
"Back to the master, the disciple feels a little improved. It can already form a trace of affinity with the spirit grass. Ning Chen replied truthfully.
"Oh, that's good. In a month, you have an affinity with the spirit grass, and it seems that your alchemy talent is very high. After you go back, the teacher will teach you to start alchemy. ”
"Disciple, Master Xie. ”
Tian Feng waved his hand, "By the way, did those inner disciples of the Spirit Grass Pavilion bully you?"
"Back to the master, no one bullied the disciples, there were only a few verbal battles. ”
Tian Feng nodded, "That's fine." If someone bullies you, you tell the teacher. As a teacher, I will definitely seek justice for you. ”
"Yes, master. ”
After going back, Tian Feng prepared three alchemy materials for Ning Chen to refine the first-grade spirit pill solid qi pill. So he took it to a compartment in the main hall.
"In the future, you will be alchemy in this alchemy room, and the teacher will teach you how to use the alchemy furnace first. Tian Feng pressed his hands on the alchemy furnace, his own spiritual power was transmitted into the furnace, and the bottom layer of the alchemy furnace began to ignite red flames, he said, "As long as you input spiritual power, you can activate the fire spirit stone at the bottom of the alchemy furnace to produce flames, and then you follow the steps of solid qi pill alchemy to put in the alchemy material, and use your divine sense to control the strength of the flame." The alchemy furnace needs to be manipulated a lot to reach the point where it is perfect, which is extremely important for alchemy. If the heat is not controlled properly, it will greatly increase the probability of waste pill. ”
After cutting off the spiritual power transmission and controlling the size of the flames in the alchemy furnace a few times, Tian Feng extinguished the flames.
"In the next few days, you should first master this alchemy furnace and practice more to control the strength of the flames. When he reached the point where he had a plan, he tried to refine the Qi Solid Pill. You have the conditions in place, and then you need to figure it out for yourself. Alchemy, as a teacher, you can't teach you too much experience, otherwise it will only be harmful to you. Only by forming your own alchemy habits can you bring out your best alchemy state. Do you understand?"
"Well, the disciple understands. ”
Tian Feng nodded, "Impetuousness is a taboo in alchemy, you must pay attention to your state of mind." Alchemy in the best state of mind is the only way to make progress along the way to alchemy. ”
"Yes, the disciple should keep it in mind. ”
"Well, good. If you have any questions, you will come and ask as a teacher. After Tian Feng finished speaking, he opened the door of the alchemy room and left.
Ning Chen closed the door of the alchemy room, took a few deep breaths, and then pressed his hands on the alchemy furnace to transmit spiritual power to the alchemy furnace.
"Oh~"
The low flame of the alchemy furnace was sheng, and the raging red flame rose up, and the heat wave in the alchemy room suddenly churned.
Ning Chen began to try to use his divine sense to control the flames of the alchemy furnace, but at the beginning, it was still a little unsmooth, and the size of the flames floated. Half an hour later, he began to become comfortable controlling the strength of the alchemy furnace's flames.
If Tian Feng was present, he would be extremely shocked and embarrassed. Because it took him a month to become proficient at Ning Chen's level, this difference is too big.
"It should be the role played by my Jindan Great Perfection Divine Consciousness Realm, otherwise to reach such a level of proficiency, it will take at least half a month of practice to do it. Ning Chen said secretly in his heart.
If it is a fifth-layer divine consciousness realm practicing to control the flames of the alchemy furnace, it is estimated that it will have to stop for half an hour, and then meditate and close your eyes to recuperate.
And because he was in the Jindan Great Perfection Divine Consciousness Realm, he could easily control the strength of the flame with a few times of proficiency, and his spirit did not feel a trace of fatigue.
"It should be always, start alchemy. ”
Subsequently, Ning Chen took out one of the three solid qi pill materials, put it on the shelf and sorted it, and prepared to refine the pill.
The reason why he was so anxious was that he wanted to go to the place where the bones were buried as soon as possible to complete the transaction with Gu Yunyan. Then, after a few months of training in the place of bones, he was ready to go home. At this time, there are only nine days left before the first day of the fifth month.
Next, he opened the lid of the alchemy furnace and threw the Dawn Grass into it. After closing the lid of the furnace, control the flame and slowly burn the furnace over a warm fire. On the other hand, he also had to pay attention to the degree of gas dissipation of the Dawn Grass in the furnace.
After the Dawn Grass was completely refined into gas in the furnace, he opened the lid of the furnace and threw in Xuanhua, the second material of the Solid Qi Pill.
The alchemy furnace contains a formation, so even if the lid of the furnace is opened, the qi transformed by the morning light grass in the furnace will not overflow even a star.
This time, Ning Chen controlled the strength of the flame and burned fiercely. After a few breaths, turn to a warm fire. Two gases have been formed in the furnace.
"Zhen Lingmu!" "Yunding Dew!"
The flames are sometimes big and sometimes small, and the furnace is already brewing.
"The last ingredient, rime pulp. ”
After throwing in the last ingredient, the two most important steps of alchemy begin. Condense with Cheng Dan!
Ning Chen controlled the flame to the lowest level, and sent a trace of spiritual power into the furnace, attaching his divine sense to this trace of spiritual power, allowing this trace of spiritual power to rotate rapidly in the furnace.
The gas formed by the material began to condense under the action of that rotating spiritual power.
There must not be the slightest mistake in this process, because that trace of spiritual power is too weak, and it will disappear if you are not careful. Once it disappears, the gas of the condensed material will be unevenly distributed, resulting in a conflict of properties. In the end, what Cheng Dan got was a waste pill.
The gas began to condense into a solid body, and the trace of spiritual power had been enveloped.
Ning Chen slapped his palm on the alchemy furnace, and the lid of the furnace was wide open. Then the flame was quickly controlled to change to the maximum, and some gas that had not yet condensed was suddenly washed out of the furnace by the gas wave.
Cover the furnace lid and slowly lower the flame again until it is minimized, ready to start Chengdan.
"Broken. ”
That trace of spiritual power shook and shattered the entity formed by the condensation of material gas. At this point, that trace of spiritual power also disappeared.
The flames were once again controlled by him to the maximum. It slowly decreases after a moment until it goes out.
"Open!"
Ning Chen slapped the alchemy furnace, the lid of the furnace was opened, and a breath of danxiang came to his face.
"It's done. With a smile on his face, he took a small jade bottle. Another palm slapped on the alchemy furnace, and nine pills flew out of the furnace and were grabbed by him with one hand.
Ning Chen looked at the nine crystal-clear solid qi pills, and was immediately surprised, "This is a top-grade solid qi pill!"
His heart was suddenly shocked, originally he thought that it would be good for him to refine an inferior spirit pill for the first time, but he didn't expect that what he would refine was a high-grade solid qi pill. And the number is nine, which is the number of ninety percent of Cheng Dan.
"Master, his old man is only a first-grade Xuan-level alchemist, and I have become a first-grade ground-level alchemist. Master, if the old man found out, would he be shocked?"
Ning Chen smiled bitterly and took another jade bottle. Two jade bottles contain four grains in one bottle, and five grains in one bottle.
Then, he opened the door of the alchemy room and walked towards the attic where Tian Feng was.
