Chapter 100: First foray into alchemy

It is undeniable that this unspoken rule allows Sun Hao to spare more time to cultivate on his own. Perhaps, it is precisely because the cultivation of monks is fundamental that the sect will acquiesce to the existence of such unspoken rules.

After his task was contracted, Sun Hao simply lived in the Bamboo Forest Garden, where he only occasionally went to show that he was carrying out a task.

In Zhulin Garden, after completely relaxing, Sun Hao's cultivation steps became regular. According to the needs and emergencies, Sun Hao arranged a simple cultivation plan for himself and began to improve himself in an all-round way step by step.

One day, Sun Hao arranged it like this, in the morning, he cultivated the way of the formation talisman, and the current focus of his cultivation was on the practice of writing runes; in the afternoon, the previous month was mainly to restore the spirit grass, and now on, Sun Hao planned to start alchemy; and in the evening, it was time to refine qi and refine gods.

Practicing alchemy officially mentioned Sun Hao's cultivation matters.

Alchemy is one of the indispensable subjects for monks, except for those monks who do not have alchemy talent, but all monks who have a little alchemy talent will generally learn the art of alchemy, pills, which are very versatile, and are the most powerful and most commonly used auxiliary means for monks to practice.

Elixir can improve the monk's cultivation, Lingdan, which can improve the monk's cultivation qualifications, Lingdan, which can heal the monk's injuries, Lingdan, which can help the monk break through the bottleneck, Lingdan, which is said to be a powerful elixir that can also make the monk soar in the day...... As long as there is a pill, there is nothing that cannot be done, only unexpected effects, this is alchemy.

Alchemy originated in ancient times, known as Wai Dan Huang Bai Shu in history, which is a method used by ancient monks to refine pills in pursuit of immortality. Ancient alchemists relied on their knowledge of the five elements and numbers of yin and yang, and tried to refine the spirit grass and spiritual plants into pills, in order to achieve the purpose of immortality.

Yang one, two, three, four, five

Water, fire, wood, gold, earth

Yin six, seven, eight, ninety

The distribution of yin and yang, the five elements, and the numbers in this table is consistent with the more ancient monks' sacred text, the "River Diagram", which fully demonstrates the practical application of the ancient monks' principles of reason, qi, and numbers in alchemy. Ancient monks believed that the failure of alchemy could be attributed to the negligence of the alchemy process, but it could also be attributed to fate, which was the other side of the number. Therefore, a person must be destined to be destined to be an immortal in order to refine the elixir, otherwise he will definitely fail.

Cultivating the true hundred arts, in terms of auxiliary effects, alchemy is the strongest, and there is no one.

It is precisely because of the powerful auxiliary effect of alchemy that there are many monks who practice alchemy like a carp crossing a river. The various alchemy techniques and the ever-changing inheritance of the Dan recipe have evolved over thousands of years, just like the sand of the Ganges River.

However, most of the monks cherish themselves, because of the Danfang, because of the spirit grass, and because of the alchemy qualifications and other reasons, there are very few real alchemists, and most of the low-level alchemy monks often have only one or two Dan prescriptions, even a sect like the Aoki Sect, a first-level alchemist, has a very good status. A second-level alchemist is a scarce resource.

The alchemy of ancient monks is a move to seize heaven and earth, so alchemy is extremely mysterious and strange in the cultivation activities or process. Monks choose more inaccessible, there are gods to go to the famous mountain resort, otherwise "evil qi can enter, medicine can not be made", when the tripod is opened, the ancient monks must fast and clean the crown of the road, kneel to hold the medicine furnace, face the south to pray to the avenue of heaven;

Ancient alchemy equipment, is also varied, the alchemy tools recorded in the history books have Dan furnace, Danding, water sea, pomegranate jar, sweet snail, mercury extractor, Hua Chi, grinder, silk sieve, horsetail and so on, however, inherited to the present, in addition to the special region, the popular alchemy tools of the mainland monks are mainly only Dan furnace and Danding, among which ordinary monks use Dan furnace for alchemy, only the big sects and big sects use Dan Ding, "Morning Glory Sutra" records, there are large sects out of each Ding, into a thousand Dan.

Sun Hao had two alchemy furnaces at hand, which were obtained from Ma Yiming and Yukun Long, among them, Yukun Long's alchemy furnace was of better quality, and it happened to be used by Sun Hao for alchemy at this time.

Monk alchemy, the so-called alchemy talent, is mainly on a fire character.

If the monk does not have the fire spirit root, and the cultivation is not the fire true qi, then the monk needs to build the foundation and give birth to the true fire before he can truly study the art of alchemy, which is one of them.

However, even if a cultivator who cultivates the true qi of fire cannot control the fire well and accurately control the true qi, then he will not be able to become an alchemist.

It is this threshold that has created the scarcity of alchemists.

Take Sun Hao as an example, the reason why he can quietly practice alchemy now is precisely because he has practiced the fire technique of the Yanlong Three-Stack Method, and the introduction of the "Yanlong Three-Folded Method" is cloudy: "In ancient times, the name of the divine dragon was called Yan, and the sun swallowing and spitting fire was idle, and what is the respect of the Danqi Temple, and the Yanlong Nine Stacks can climb to the top......"

If the profile description is not exaggerated, then Sun Hao will have a lot of extra help when he drives the Yanlong Three-Stack True Qi Alchemy.

Moreover, compared with ordinary monks, there is a small flame in the heart part of Sun Hao's body, and there is an extra "Five Elements Wheel Spirit Recipe of Yi Divine Formula" in his mind, which are closely related to the flame, but I don't know if there is a bonus effect on Sun Hao's alchemy, Sun Hao is full of expectations for this.

It was precisely by examining himself, based on his own advantages, that Sun Hao had the intention of practicing alchemy hard, expecting that he would rush to the second-level alchemist within two years to help Tong Li refine the Black Jade Intermittent Pill.

Following the customs of the ancient monks, Sun Hao fasted and wore a crown, sat concentrating in the alchemy room, and after half a ring, began to try the first alchemy. Sun Hao is not a person who is ambitious, and he never thought that he would become fat in one go, so the first spirit pill he chose to refine was a semi-spirit pill, and it was also the pill he obtained from the "Morning Glory Sutra", the Qi Channeling Pill. The refining of the half-spirit pill is relatively easy, and Sun Hao plans to practice the half-spirit pill first, get familiar with it, and then step by step.

Sun Hao's alchemy is mainly obtained from Ma Yiming and Yukunlong's storage bags, since getting "Basic Alchemy", "Basic Alchemy Basic Techniques", "Basic Alchemy Pharmacology" and "Alchemy Experience", these four books related to alchemy, Sun Hao has taken the time to study these four books many times, with Sun Hao's ability to never forget, the content of these four books has long been remembered.

"Basic Alchemy" divides the entire alchemy process into six steps: "adjusting medicine, collecting medicine, sealing the furnace, refining medicine (Xiao Zhoutian), condensing pills, and stopping fire".

The six steps must not be the slightest mistake in order to refine the elixir.

Adjusting medicine is the first step, if the medicine is not adjusted, the real seed will not be born, and the Dan Jing has clouds: "Harmony and condensation determine the achievement", and the medicine is to deal with the spirit grass according to the needs of alchemy. Among the spirit pills, different spirit grasses have different component needs, such as the Qi Conduction Pill that Sun Hao is practicing now, and its Dan formula is three Qi Pills, two millennium honeysuckle plants, supplemented by rootless water, ebony charcoal, and simmering to refine the Qi Conduction Pill.

The first step, the medicine adjustment, Dongfang Sheng's "Alchemy Experience" records, this is the foundation of the alchemy foundation, it is related to the quality of the Dan, the alchemist has to practice the skill of the medicine throughout his life, of course, as long as the medicine reaches a certain level, you can start alchemy.

At that time, this first step, Dongfang Sheng lasted for three months, and he wasted no idea how many spiritual herbs he had, so as to reach the level of medicine alchemy.

Qi Conduction Pill is a semi-elixir, except for the thousand-year-old honeysuckle, other alchemy materials are mostly secular things, and they do not need to be modulated, as long as their weight is accurate. Therefore, the focus of Sun Hao's concoction is two millennium honeysuckle.

There is a big gap between theory and practice.

After Sun Hao started to modulate, he found that it was not easy to reconcile the aura of the two spirit grasses, the two spirit grasses, either you have more or he is less, and Sun Hao found that the aura of these two spirit grasses was lost too much in the adjustment process, and they could not meet the requirements of refining the aura of the Qi Conducting Pill.

In other words, if it was in Dongfang Sheng's hands, this concoction would have ended in failure at this time. I had to take two more spirit grasses to practice this concoction. And this is often one of the reasons why alchemists are expensive, if it weren't for their outstanding talent, there really weren't too many spiritual grasses that could afford to raise an alchemist.

However, for Sun Hao, who lives in Mudan, this is not the case. Under Mu Dan's urging, the two spirit grasses quickly recovered their spiritual energy, and Sun Hao returned to the original point again and began to concoct.

Sun Hao's approach has invisibly saved a lot of time and costs. Of course, Sun Hao can even urge Mu Dan in the concoction, artificially controlling its aura within a certain range, if he does this, Sun Hao's concoction will undoubtedly speed up a lot, but Sun Hao did not do this, but followed the step-by-step step and seriously practiced his own technique of concocting the spirit grass.

Sun Hao has cultivated all the way, and he knows the importance of the foundation, since the preparation of spirit grass is the foundation of alchemy, Sun Hao feels that he still needs to practice him steadily, and he does not plan to be opportunistic.
