Sun Boqing is a generation of alchemy masters, his alchemy room is naturally very large, about ten zhang square, the dome is extremely high, there are many medicine shelves in the room, on which are laid with all kinds of medicinal materials, and there are many jade bottles on the cabinet against the wall, each jade bottle is labeled, indicating the name of the pill.

Sun Boqing came to the center of the room and stopped, with a wave of his big sleeves, an eight-foot-tall copper Dan furnace suddenly appeared, Li Qianmo looked up at this huge Dan furnace that was much taller than himself, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Sun Boqing touched the carved dragon pattern on the Dan furnace with his hand, smiled and his face was full of folds, and after a long time he slowly explained: "Alchemy is a very complex skill, pay attention to too many skills, there are many restrictions, medicinal materials, Dan furnace, flames, techniques, etc., must be comprehensive, and then you can refine the best elixir, Dan is divided into nine grades, Dan Master is also divided into nine grades, I am now a seven-grade Dan Master, and the gap between each product is a huge gap." ”

He paused and said: "The most important instrument for alchemy is the Dan furnace, the Dan furnace belongs to the magic weapon, and my Dan furnace is called the Nine Dragons Yan Furnace, which is a low-grade holy weapon." ”

Li Qianmo was puzzled: "Uncle Shi, you are a great sage master plus alchemy master, and the Dan furnace you use is a low-grade holy weapon?"

Sun Boqing sighed when he heard this, and a look of regret flashed on his face: "The materials for refining the Dan furnace are too harsh, it is not easy to find, it must withstand extreme high temperatures, and you see that this Dan furnace is so big, the amount of materials required can also be imagined, I spent more than two hundred years collecting materials in order to cast this Dan furnace, but unfortunately I still couldn't refine it into a medium-grade holy weapon, alas......"

Li Qianmo sighed when he saw him, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply kept silent.

Sun Boqing sighed for a while, waved his long sleeves again, and a three-foot-tall small Dan furnace appeared next to the Jiulong Yan Furnace, just like the grandson of the Jiulong Yan Furnace, Sun Boqing introduced: "This is a low-grade magic weapon-level Dan furnace, called Huoyun Furnace, this Dan furnace I used when I first started learning alchemy, and now I give it to you." ”

Li Qianmo stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that this Dan furnace was made of fire copper, which was round, with three feet at the bottom, and the furnace body was carved with a fire cloud pattern, and a beast's head was carved on the stove cover, with teeth and claws, and the appearance was very hideous.

Sun Boqing added: "Although this Huoyun Furnace is the worst Dan Furnace, there is no problem in refining the first and second grade pills, but the pill production rate may be lower when refining the second grade pills. ”

"Thank you, uncle, I like it very much. Li Qianmo put away the Dan furnace and thanked him with a smile.

Sun Boqing took out two thick scriptures and handed them over, saying: "This is my hand-copied "Qianjin Fang" and "Qingdan Volume", which not only introduces the medicinal properties and pharmacology of thousands of medicinal materials, but also the alchemy experience of the sages in the Dan Medicine Hall, even if my disciples of the Dan Medicine Hall have not had the opportunity to watch it for more than fifty years, you should study it carefully." ”

Li Qianmo took these two scriptures, flipped through them casually, and found that the "Qianjin Fang" recorded the medicinal properties and pharmacology of various medicinal materials, there are thousands of kinds, and the "Qingdan Volume" recorded the refining methods of various pills, as well as the alchemy experience of many sages of the Danyao Hall, which is very detailed.

He roughly looked at it and knew that these two scriptures were very precious, put them away and thanked him, and then, Sun Boqing began to teach him alchemy skills.

The most important thing in alchemy is not to learn the techniques, but to know the truth of each technique, which is to know the method and know the reason, so that in the future alchemy on the way, draw inferences from one another, and learn from the teacher, otherwise it will only be self-contained, and it is difficult to make progress.

Under the guidance of Sun Boqing, he began to practice various alchemy techniques, the techniques of alchemy are indeed quite complicated, there are more than 300 kinds of variations in the method of fire control alone, beginners can refine all the first-grade pills as long as they master fifteen kinds, and Sun Boqing, the seven-grade alchemy master, has only mastered more than 200 kinds of fire control techniques, and its difficulty can be seen.

Li Qianmo's ability to distinguish micro-means has increased greatly since he cultivated the Hidden Dragon Skill, and he himself is very quick to learn things, and he can master all kinds of flame control techniques once or twice, until the evening, he actually learned one hundred and thirteen fire control techniques.

Sun Boqing was shocked, his eyes became more and more strange when he looked at Li Qianmo, and he kept asking in his heart: "What kind of talent is this kid, how can he learn things so quickly, and he can teach them once?"

He really had the urge to put Li Qianmo in the Dan Medicine Hall, but Yuan Dao Zhen had a perverse temperament, and he finally accepted such a smart disciple, naturally he was very precious, if he dared to rob it, then Yuan Dao Zhen would definitely turn his face with him.

Controlling the flame may be difficult for ordinary people, but it is nothing for Li Qianmo, the biggest difficulty in controlling the flame is to master the subtle changes of the flame, which requires a high ability to distinguish subtleties, which is also the reason why alchemists are so rare.

But Li Qianmo's current ability to distinguish micro-means is far beyond ordinary people, and the subtle changes in the flame can't escape his divine sense at all, and it is not easy to say that it is easy to change the flame, but it is not difficult.

At the end of the day, Sun Boqing taught Li Qianmo a lot, told him a lot of alchemy skills, and made an appointment to let him start alchemy here tomorrow.

Li Qianmo walked out of the Dan Hall all the way back to the room, took out the "Thousand Golden Formulas" and "Qingdan Scroll" and read them, the two scriptures added up to more than a foot thick, and he read them all overnight, and they all remembered in his mind.

The next day, Li Qianmo came to yesterday's alchemy room on time, and Sun Boqing was already waiting here.

Li Qianmo stepped forward and returned the two scriptures to him, and Sun Boqing was puzzled: "Didn't I ask you to go back and study hard, what else do you want to do for me?"

Li Qianmo smiled lightly: "I've read it all, and I've written down all the contents in it." ”

Sun Boqing was stunned when he heard this, almost thought that he had heard it wrong, he took the two books, opened the Qianjin prescription and randomly picked out a medicinal herb to ask him about the medicinal properties, Li Qianmo opened his mouth and said, a trace of good, Sun Boqing was shocked, and chose five kinds of medicinal materials to ask him, Li Qianmo answered like a stream, no mistake.

The shock in Sun Boqing's heart was beyond measure, he looked at Li Qianmo with straight eyes, and kept sighing: "It's a pity, why is such a genius not a disciple of my Danyao Hall, it's a pity, it's a pity, it......'s a pity."

He sighed secretly for a while, calmed down, and said slowly: "Next, I will refine a furnace of pills, as a demonstration, you study carefully." ”

"Okay, there's Uncle Lao. Li Qianmo nodded respectfully.

Sun Boqing's left palm was against the Dan furnace, his right palm was stretched out, and a white flame erupted out, entering the furnace from the fire mouth and burning in the furnace.

After a while, the temperature of the Dan furnace was enough, he put the eight flavor medicinal materials into the Dan furnace one after another, and at the same time constantly adjusted the flame changes, and every time he reached a fire change stage, he would tell Li Qianmo what fire to change at this stage, and what to change this fire for, which was exhaustive and detailed.

Li Qianmo also listened very carefully, remembered everything he said, and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

After the work of the three incense sticks, there were bursts of fragrance wafting out of the furnace, Sun Boqing said slowly: "Pay attention, it's going to be out of the Dan, and now it's in the most late stage of collecting the Dan, especially to master the heat, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain, and it will destroy the medicinal materials of a furnace, and the flame when the Dan is out of the Dan must be three times and three slows, and the changes can make the pill take shape......"

Li Qianmo listened and watched his movements carefully, his eyes were motionless, very focused, Sun Boqing changed the flame three times and then sighed, put away the fire and stood up, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's done, open the furnace." ”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, lifted the lid of the furnace, and more than a dozen round pills flew up as if they were under his command, and the most of them fell into his palm, just filling his palm.

He showed these pills to Li Qianmo, and saw that the pill body was dark red, with a shiny luster, and it could almost reflect the human figure, Li Qianmo couldn't help asking: "What is the name of this pill, and what does it do?"

Sun Boqing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is the Qi Nourishing Pill, the grade is very low, it is not even a first-grade pill, don't look down on them, people in the Qi Seeking Period can greatly improve their cultivation progress by taking this pill, this kind of pill is quite easy to sell in the place of loose cultivation." ”

He paused, and then said: "You see if this pill is very bright and smooth, this is the way to distinguish the quality of the pill, the same pill, different people will have different medicinal power when refining it, but the reason is the same, these seventeen Qi Nourishing Pills I refined are the best in terms of quality, and they are very rare." ”
