Chapter 43: The First Trial of the Pill
Qin Chuan was on the bed at this time, looking at the two cheats in his hand, "Baicao Dan Sutra" and "The Initial Solution of the Formation", and fell into a dilemma, but Qin Chuan still put away the "Initial Solution of the Formation" after reading it for a long time.
From the classics left by Yao Lao, Qin Chuan knew that alchemy and formation were one of the two most popular industries in the world of cultivating immortals. It is recorded in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation that alchemy and array formation are the most popular professions, but they are also the most difficult industries to get started. There are many people who have not achieved anything in their lives, and have spent a lot of time on this, and they have also delayed their self-regeneration cultivation, and finally died of hatred. Therefore, alchemy masters and formation masters in the immortal cultivation world have always been very rare. Even some major sects would only cultivate one or two alchemy masters and formation masters.
It's not that no one wants to take the time to learn, it's that they can't afford to learn at all. The cultivation of every alchemy master or formation master requires a lot of resources, and the big sect originally spends a lot of spirit stones, so there are not too many spirit stones to cultivate alchemy masters and formation masters.
Let's take the Immortal Dao Sect as an example. The Immortal Dao Sect is one of the five major factions of the Jin Kingdom, and as far as Yao Lao knows, there is only one alchemy master and one formation master in the sect. Yao Lao also needed pills when he cultivated by himself, so he tried to refine the pills himself, and after refining the pills for more than ten years, he could just refine some ordinary ordinary pills, and the success rate was pitiful. Refining and discarding the elixir is also a common thing. Some pills were directly refined into dregs. There are also some that have been practiced in the shape of pills, but the aura contained in the pills is pitiful, and they contain a large number of toxins, which is the so-called half-wasted pill. Qin Chuan's goal was to cultivate such an elixir. When he saw these materials, Qin Chuan was a little depressed. Yao Lao, a monk of the Demon Dao, really didn't know why he wanted to collect the information of the five major sects. After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Chuan didn't think about it, anyway, it had no effect on his alchemy
In fact, Qin Chuan's interest in the formation method is greater than that of alchemy. But Qin Chuan could only choose one among the alchemy and formations. Qin Chuan has liked to set some traps to catch wild beasts since he was a child, and he usually likes to tinker with some strange things. And the way of formation is similar to the way mortals use traps to catch beasts. The breadth and essence of the formation deeply attracted Qin Chuan.
As for alchemy, Qin Chuan just started to get in touch with it, and he was more curious. It was also a profound matter, but Qin Chuan felt very difficult, but there was no way. Yaolao has a complete set of tools for alchemy here, including Dan furnaces and medicinal materials. If you learn the formation, Qin Chuan lacks a lot of formation materials, which is very inconvenient. Alchemy and formation were learned together, Qin Chuan hadn't thought about it at all, it took too long to do so. Therefore, after some thought, Qin Chuan Jingguo decided to study alchemy.
Now Qin Chuan just studied the things in front of him, and he already felt that there was not enough time. If you are distracted from doing other things, it may affect your cultivation of the exercises. Qin Chuan would never do such a stupid thing. Xiu Xian said that everything in the bottom is based on cultivation. Without cultivation, everything is delusional. The matter of the formation has to be put aside, and if you cultivate to a high level in the future, Shou Yuan will become longer and talk about it!
Qin Chuan took out his alchemy furnace, this alchemy furnace was just a medium-grade spiritual weapon, but Yao Lao took a lot of effort to get it. In the world of cultivating immortals, an alchemy furnace with a medium-grade spiritual weapon is almost more precious than a high-level spiritual weapon, and its value is a little lower than that of an ordinary magic weapon.
Qin Chuan made a big decision on the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy furnace slowly floated in front of him. Then Qin Chuan cast a magic decision, and a flame was born under the alchemy furnace, and Qin Chuan injected a large amount of spiritual energy into it. The flames grew larger, and finally the entire Dan furnace was encased in it. Qin Chuan This is the first time to make an alchemy, and he must first familiarize himself with the control of the flames.
It is also Qin Chuan who is lucky. The technique he is using now is the unique alchemy technique recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Dan Sutra". This hand just now is called Reiki Flame, which is a method of converting one's own mana into flames. This method can only be done by a person who cultivates the Fire Attribute Exercises. If people with other attribute exercises want to refine the pill, they still need the flame they are looking for to be able to refine the pill. Of course, this is only for immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period, and the genuine goods in the body of the monks in the condensation stage can be used for alchemy. The monks in the Dan stage have Dan fire in their bodies, and the monks in the Yuan Infant stage have baby fire in their bodies. The effect of these flame alchemy pills is excellent. The flames turned into by the mana in Qin Chuan's hands had only just reached the minimum standard of alchemy.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are still some different fires that can be used for alchemy, these strange fires will only appear in some special circumstances and environments, these flames can also be used for alchemy, and even can be used against the enemy are very powerful means.
However, these alien fires need to be refined into the body, which is very difficult, and many people in the immortal cultivation world have died at the level of refining alien fire. The direct consequence of the failure to refine the alien fire is to be burned to ashes by the alien fire. This discourages many people who covet the power of the fire. This also caused the strange phenomenon that in the cultivation of immortals, there are more people with different fires than those who can refine them.
Qin Chuan is undoubtedly a lucky person, the secret technique of mana and flame transformation is recorded in the "Baicao Dan Sutra", this secret technique requires people who practice fire attribute exercises to convert the fire aura in the body into flames, so that they can also refine the pill, but this is a great consumption of mana in the body, if it is not a person with deep mana, even if he can perform this secret technique of spiritual energy and flame, it cannot be supported until the alchemy is completed.
Because this secret art was created based on the fireball technique. It's just that the flames here are not as strong and condensed as the fireball technique, and the mana consumed is naturally much less. In addition, the pure cultivation is the ancient exercises, and the mana is several times that of ordinary people, which also provides him with the possibility of alchemy.
As for the medicinal materials that Xueli sent every month, they had already been made into raw materials by Qin Chuan, and the refined pill prepared by Qin Chuan today was Juyuan Dan. This elixir is used to increase the cultivation of immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period. It is also one of the most common and simplest pills.
For Qin Chuan, a person with zero experience in alchemy, this elixir was the most suitable for him. After Qin Chuan mastered the heat, he carefully read Yao Lao's alchemy experience. began his alchemy life.
Qin Chuan first heated the Dan furnace, and then quickly poured the medicinal raw materials prepared by his side into the alchemy furnace and covered the furnace lid. Qin Chuan carefully controlled the input amount of spiritual energy in his hand, so as to control the furnace fire.
At the beginning, a high temperature fire was needed, and Qin Chuan injected a large amount of fire aura into the flames. Then use low heat to warm it, and finally until the pill is formed, and then it needs to be purified, which is the most critical step, how much impurities in the pill are removed, and the quality of your pill is closely related. The more impurities are removed, the higher the quality of the pill, and almost every alchemist has his own set of pill purification methods.
The last step is to open the furnace, the moment the furnace is opened, if the control is not good, the quality of the pill will be affected.
Not long after Qin Chuan had just entered the mana, he heard a muffled sound of "poof" coming from the alchemy furnace.
Then Qin Chuan smelled a pungent smell of burning. Qin Chuan didn't have any abnormal performance, and it was reasonable that he failed in alchemy for the first time.
After Qin Chuan cleaned out the medicinal residue in the Dan furnace. The alchemy was restarted, the herbs were added, the fire was lit, and the residue was cleaned up. More than a dozen times in a row, Qin Chuan was almost at the same job.
With such a tragic result, Qin Chuan was completely on fire, and the difficulty of alchemy was beyond his imagination. Coupled with the mana consumption in his body, Qin Chuan stopped to recover his mana. Then wait until your heart is completely calm before going to alchemy. After all, alchemy is a delicate job, and it cannot be solved in a hurry.
Half an hour passed, Qin Chuan's mana recovered, and his restless heart calmed down. This time, there was no more residue, but a gray spherical object appeared. Qin Chuan sensed the aura in your face, and there was almost no aura in it. But Qin Chuan was also very happy, after all, the pill was formed, and this was progress.
Qin Chuan continued to alchemy, but this time he may have been too excited, he didn't pay attention to the heat, and it was waste slag again. Qin Chuan has been alchemy more than a dozen times. But this time it appeared in his hands, and seven or eight gray balls appeared. Qin Chuan was sure that this was the waste pill he refined, and Qin Chuan's old pills were compared with the old pills. In contrast, Qin Chuan found that his pill was not half as good as the old waste pill. But Qin Chuan still put them away, after all, this was his first alchemy.
In the next ten days of practice, Qin Chuan's progress was very fast. Although it is still refining the waste pill. But his waste pill was already barely comparable to the waste pill refined by Yao Lao.
With a lot of practice, Qin Chuan's medicinal herbs were also consumed. Just when Qin Chuan finished refining all this batch of medicinal materials. After Qin Chuan opened the furnace for the last time, a faint medicinal fragrance appeared in the Dan furnace.
Seeing this spiritual integrity, Qin Chuan hurriedly took out the white and warm pill in the Dan furnace. Qin Chuan took this pill and carefully compared it with the finished pill recorded in the Dan Sutra. Qin Chuan was finally convinced that this was a mortal pill.
Qin Chuan danced excitedly with this elixir. But for this, Qin Chuan also consumed the medicinal materials he had accumulated over the past few months. (To be continued)
