Chapter 22 First acquaintance with Dan Dao
readx; After Wang Ziyan explained the knowledge of the cyclone, she asked everyone to raise the problems they had encountered in cultivation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Zhe had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and preemptively raised the question in his heart: "Why is it that every time after doing homework, the meridians can no longer run the aura for a period of time?"
"The human meridians are the most delicate, and every time they do the exercises, they are a kind of stimulation and damage to the meridians, in order to avoid continuous stimulation and permanent damage, so the meridians produce a protective mechanism, and after each exercise, there is a period of time after which the aura can no longer be filled, so that the meridians can automatically repair the damage. As for the length of time it takes for the meridians to return to normal, this varies from person to person. The average person has six hours to eight hours, mainly depending on the strength of each person's meridians, people with strong meridians have strong resilience, and the time taken is shorter, and people with weak meridians are the opposite. You don't have to worry too much, the aura runs in the meridians, and it will also nourish and strengthen the meridians, and generally this phenomenon will slowly disappear in the middle stage of spiritual induction. Wang Ziyan gave Li Zhe a detailed answer. Wang Ziyan's lecture ended, and everyone went back to the cave to practice.
Li Zhe returned to the cave mansion and seized the time to do his homework first.
After listening to Wang Ziyan's answer just now and figuring out the time of the fatigue period of the meridians, Li Zhe analyzed and compared the advantages and disadvantages of himself and his junior disciples. The spiritual root qualifications of the juniors and disciples are higher than their own, and the effect of each practice is at least one and a half times more than their own. I was dragged down by the low efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy in "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Linggong", and my own spiritual root qualification was slightly poor, so the effect of practicing spiritual gong was far inferior to others. Fortunately, his meridians are strong and his recovery power is amazing, and he can fully recover in just four hours, so that he will do more exercises than others, and he will make up for his shortcomings diligently, at least at this stage in the early stage of spiritual induction, he will not let others pull down too much.
After finishing his homework, Li Zhe remembered the bag he had found from Xu Xianshi.
At that time, Li Zhe didn't know anything about the cultivation realm, so naturally he wouldn't understand the mystery of the bag, but now he knew that it was a storage bag, anyway, he had just finished his work and had nothing to do, so he was ready to open the bag to see what was inside. Li Zhe took out the storage bag, bit his middle finger, and tried to drip a drop of sperm blood onto the bag. Sure enough, after Xu Xianshi was killed by himself, this storage bag became an ownerless thing. After dripping blood and recognizing the owner, this storage bag will belong to Li Zhe. After opening the bag, Li Zhe found that the space of this storage bag was not half the size of the one sent to him by the sect, and it seemed that Immortal Master Xu was really not very good in the cultivation realm.
How did Li Zhe know that he had no foundation in the cultivation realm, but he entered the Yunmeng Sect in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a step to the sky. Although the Yunmeng Sect has already been dilapidated, it is still the largest sect in Youzhou, with magic weapons, pills, and spirit stones. And Xu Xianshi came from a dilapidated small Xiuzhen sect, lacking resources, and cultivating the truth was difficult, which Li Zhe could understand.
In fact, Xu Xianshi is not the lowest level of the cultivation realm, after all, he still has the support of the sect. The helpless casual cultivators are the most miserable group in the cultivation realm, and without the support of cultivation resources, their strength is naturally lower than that of other cultivators. In the cultivation realm of the jungle, scattered cultivation is the target of bullying by all forces, and the difficulty of survival can be imagined.
Li Zhe opened the storage bag and poured all the contents on the table, only pouring out two stones, a token, and a booklet. Li Zhe couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he didn't have a single spirit rune that he wanted to get the most. In fact, with Xu Xianshi's net worth, he would basically go bankrupt if he got a wind talisman, otherwise he would not have been unable to improve his realm, and finally fell to the point where he wanted to return to the world.
Li Zhe picked up two stones first, and if he looked at them with his eyes, he couldn't see any difference from ordinary stones. Li Zhe tried to sense it with his divine sense, and found that the two stones contained a large amount of spiritual energy. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Zhe also guessed that these two stones should be the so-called spirit stones.
Li Zhe picked up the token again, I don't know what metal this token is made of, the whole body is fiery red, and the appearance is also very strange, it looks like a burning flame. Li Zhe flipped over the token, and the back of the token was engraved with two vigorous and powerful ancient characters "Cangyan". Li Zhe tried to use his divine sense to probe the token, but as soon as his divine sense touched the surface of the token, it would be bounced open, and he couldn't enter the inside of the token after several attempts. It seems that there is a ban on the token, and his divine sense is too weak to crack it, and Li Zhe is not in a hurry, anyway, things will not fly away on his body, and he will slowly study it when his cultivation is improved in the future.
Finally, Li Zhe picked up the booklet, and on the cover of the booklet was written the words "Dan Dao Entry", and flipped through it.
The content of the booklet mainly talks about some knowledge of refining pills, and at the end there are a few pills attached, looking at the introduction, they are all pills that have little effect on monks, of course, they should be panaceas for all diseases for mortals.
The principle of refining the pill is very simple, that is, according to the formula of the pill with all the medicinal materials, the medicinal materials do not refer specifically to all kinds of herbs, the world's natural materials and earth treasures may be used into the medicine, and then the medicinal materials are put into the Dan furnace with the spirit fire calcination, the use of fire to remove the unwanted ingredients in the medicinal materials, purified into an elixir liquid that only contains the corresponding medicinal effect, when all the elixir liquid of the medicinal materials are formed, and then all the elixir liquid is dissolved together, and the water is quickly removed with fierce fire, and it is condensed into a pill.
The principle is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate.
First of all, the purification of medicinal materials is an extremely delicate process, and the slightest mistake will be ruined, and the alchemist needs to use his divine sense to monitor the whole process, and use skillful fire control skills to adjust the size of the fire, even if it is slightly larger or smaller.
Secondly, the characteristics of the medicinal materials are different, and the length of time required for the formation of the elixir liquid is also different, and even the difference in the molding time of the elixir liquid between some medicinal materials is very large, and it is extremely difficult to control it together.
Finally, from the moment the elixir liquid is formed, it will continue to lose its medicinal properties, the efficacy will continue to weaken, the impurities will continue to increase, and the storage time will lose its effect if it is stored for a little longer, and this storage time is extremely short, generally within tens of breaths.
It can be seen from this that in just a few tens of breaths, it must be very difficult to control the elixir liquid of all the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace to form together and then condense into the elixir, and with the increase of the types of medicinal materials used, the difficulty will increase dramatically.
To become an alchemist, you must have two basic conditions, one is a strong divine sense, and the other is superb fire control skills. If you can't meet these two conditions, you can't even complete the purification of medicinal materials, and if you want to become an alchemist, it's a pipe dream.
There are two major difficulties in the technology of refining elixir, the first is the purification technology of the elixir liquid, and the second is the control of the molding time of the elixir liquid. After a long period of research, alchemists have summed up a complete set of alchemy techniques to improve the success rate of alchemy.
In order to minimize the time gap between the formation of various elixir liquids, the alchemist controlled it in two steps.
The first step is rough control. According to the time it takes for the elixir liquid of various medicinal materials to be formed, the alchemist puts the medicinal materials into the furnace in turn according to a fixed point in time. The time-consuming medicinal materials are first purified in the Dan furnace, and the time-consuming medicinal materials such as the time-consuming medicinal materials are processed to a certain progress and then put into the Dan furnace, so that the artificial manufacturing time difference makes the time difference between the elixir liquid of various medicinal materials can be roughly controlled in a short time.
The second step is fine-grained control. The alchemist then uses his powerful divine sense to monitor the purification progress of various elixir liquids, temporarily isolate the medicinal materials that are ahead of the progress with his divine sense, so as to adjust the time for the elixir liquid to be formed, and then adjust the amount of fire through fire control techniques, do the most delicate time control, and control the time difference between the molding of all elixir liquids within the minimum range. The biggest problem in this step is that with the increase of the types of medicinal materials used, the adjustment effect is getting lower and lower, especially the effect of high-grade pills is very limited.
The time difference between the elixir liquid of all the medicinal materials in the Dan furnace directly represents the level of the alchemist, and the smaller the time difference, the higher the level of alchemy, and the higher the quality of the refined elixir.
The alchemist records the best refining process of refining a certain elixir for future generations, which is the Dan Fang. The Danfang is not just a list of medicinal materials needed to refine a certain elixir, these are of little value, just knowing that it is impossible to refine the elixir from the formula. In fact, apart from some secret elixirs, the recipes of ordinary elixirs were not a secret among alchemists.
The most essential part of the Danfang is the time point at which each medicinal material is put into the Dan furnace in the alchemy process and the amount of firepower at each stage, which is where the value of the Danfang lies. In particular, some secret pill recipes passed on by senior alchemists, because they have added a lot of personal experience, can increase the rate of becoming a pill, and their value is higher.
Alchemist is a profession that attaches great importance to the accumulation of experience, and even if it is completely refined according to the records of the Danfang, there is no guarantee of complete success. The conditions of alchemy are different every time, the quality of the medicinal materials used, the external environment, and the alchemist's own state may affect the alchemist's own state of becoming a pill, in order to improve the alchemist rate, this requires the alchemist to make a slight adjustment according to the actual situation, which is a technique that can only be understood but not spoken, and what works is the experience of the alchemist. High-level alchemists are simply slowly cultivated with a large number of medicinal materials, except for some sects that specialize in cultivating Dan Dao, only large sects have the ability to cultivate them.
The minimum quality requirement of qualified pills is that the content of active ingredients is more than 70%, and the content of impurities is less than 30%. The quality of the pill does not meet this standard, the side effects are very large, and it is not suitable for monks to take, so it is called a waste pill. There are also some casual cultivators who can't afford ordinary pills and take the risk of taking waste pills when they hit the bottleneck, which can also produce some help, but the damage to the body is also very great.
If the medicinal power of an elixir can reach more than ninety percent, then its value is obviously different from that of ordinary elixir, which is called a high-quality elixir, and its value is dozens of times that of ordinary elixir, or even a hundred times.
The medicinal properties of the pill are extremely pure, reaching more than ninety percent, it will produce an inexplicable qualitative change, the medicinal properties of the pill used to heal the wound are at least doubled, the aura released by the pill used to increase the aura is extremely pure, the difficulty of operation control in the meridians is greatly reduced, and the loss of aura is very small when performing exercises to remove impurities.
Pills contain some impurities, and after taking pills, the impurities will produce some toxins in the meridians, which are called erysipelas. The vast majority of erysipelas can be forced out of the meridians through exercises, but there are still a very small amount of erysipelas left in the meridians, and the accumulation of erysipelas will occur to a certain extent, resulting in many side effects, and the most serious cases will cause the user to lose their strength and die, so the pill is not infinitely available.
The situation of the pills is very different, the erysipelas produced are very small, and the ones that can remain in the human body are even less so that they can be ignored, and there is no need to worry about the accumulation of erysipelas when taking a large amount. However, this is not the greatest value of the imported pills, after all, the output of the imported pills is extremely low, and no one can eat them as a meal, so there is no need to worry about eating too much.
The greatest value of the Entering Pill is that it has a huge help for the monk to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, and the Entering Pill that increases the spiritual energy is pure because of its medicinal properties, so it can release extremely pure Spiritual Qi in the meridians after taking it, and it can be used to impact the bottleneck with twice the result with half the effort.
The refining of the incoming elixir is something that can be encountered but not sought, and it is only possible when all the elixir liquid is in the best state to condense into a pill. The time for the elixir liquid to remain in its optimal state is extremely short, often within ten breaths, and the medicinal power will drop greatly after ten breaths. It is unimaginably difficult to control the elixir liquid of all the medicinal materials to be formed together in a very short period of time. Especially those high-grade pills, hundreds of medicinal materials had to be dispatched at every turn.
If you want to refine the in-grade elixir, you first need the alchemist to have an extremely strong ability, and be able to maintain the average level of refining a certain elixir at an extremely high level, close to the level of the in-grade elixir, and then it can be refined by chance and chance. Therefore, the incoming pills are basically works of luck based on strength and experience, and it is extremely difficult to consciously refine them in batches. Generally speaking, the more advanced the pill, the more types of medicinal materials are needed, and the lower the possibility of refining the pill in and out of the pill. For example, if a high-level alchemist in the Yuan Infant Stage can refine the Entering Spiritual Cultivation Pill, it will still be successful occasionally, but if he is allowed to refine a more advanced Entering Spiritual Pill, the success rate cannot be guaranteed.
The incoming pills are also divided into two levels, and the quality is divided into high-grade pills and low-grade pills from high to low. The higher the grade, the higher the purity of the elixir, and the higher the value. In particular, the high-grade pill is basically an elixir whose efficacy is infinitely close to purity, which can increase the success rate of monks when they hit the bottleneck by at least two percent, and it is simply a priceless existence.
After reading this, Li Zhe closed the booklet and put it back in the bag. It's good to understand the art of alchemy a little by yourself, and when it is a long insight, increase your knowledge, you must not study it deeply. Dandao is broad and profound, and if you want to achieve something, you must put a lot of energy into research. Li Zhe knew very well that his spiritual root qualifications were ordinary, and the efficiency of the Yin and Yang Zhou Tianxuan Spiritual Skill he cultivated was extremely low, and he might not be able to keep up with the footsteps of his junior disciples if he cultivated with all his might, so how could he have the spare strength to learn these things.
