Chapter Seventy-Eight: Opening the Furnace for Alchemy
86_86709 Qiu Ming's expression was solemn, and he slowly opened his eyes, and a huge skeleton appeared on the jade fan in front of him.
It is no longer the cyan color when it first appeared, it has turned gray at this moment, and the pupils are no longer empty, Qiu Ming looked carefully, and saw a blue aura looming in the deepest part of the pupil, as if there was a figure sitting on it.
Around the green qi, a thick pale flame filled the pupils, constantly beating, like ghost fire flickering.
He closed the jade fan and put it away, his face uncertain.
Thinking of Qinglongzi's crazy smile, and thinking of Qiao Shuya's cultivation of the "Heavenly Thunder Rectification Law", Qiu Ming was suddenly full of vigilance against the six characters in the sea of knowledge.
"Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law" is related to the Thunder God Temple of the Immortal Inheritance, and the Soul Sealing Spirit Array is related to the mysterious goblin clan......
All of these who have been recognized have a lot of origins, and they are not in trouble, so what about the Ten Thousand Transformation Heavenly Skill and the Lotus Pupil Dharma Eyes that he is cultivating now? Are these related to some big forces?
Qiu Ming's expression changed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still decided not to practice anything in it except for the inheritance in the word "Dan"!
"No," Qiu Ming frowned, "I have to practice the last exercise! At least I still have to practice it!"
He made a decision, his expression gradually calmed down, and he didn't know how long this retreat had passed, he was shocked, cleaned up, and immediately left the cave.
Within a radius of several miles, the mountain they were on was still there, and it was all empty.
As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of broken stones, huge craters and cracks, and there was not a single place intact......
Qiu Ming smiled bitterly, shook his head, did not see the figure of the lion around, and immediately walked towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, the old dean was still sitting there practicing, and the space around him was more than ten zhang vibrating and distorting, and the old dean seemed to be in other spaces, looking very blurry.
Qiu Ming's heart shook, and he looked at the old dean carefully, but saw him slowly retracting, his eyes opened, and the space around him was silent for a moment, and the previous space distortion seemed to be an illusion.
"Master. Tyumen suppressed his heart and shook and saluted respectfully.
With a hint of joy in his eyes, the old dean asked, "It's only been a month, have you remembered everything?"
Qiu Ming nodded: "Yes, Master, the disciple has completely remembered it." ”
The old dean didn't assess anything more this time, but his face showed great joy, "Okay! You take a day off first! Starting tomorrow, I will officially teach you alchemy!"
"Yes, Master. ”
Qiu Ming agreed, but saw that the old dean's eyebrows were slightly raised, and asked, "Pupil skills are scarce and hard to find, do you have them?"
Qiu Ming's thoughts turned slightly, and he immediately said, "I have already started cultivating." ”
The old dean's snow-white beard shook, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "You look at me." ”
Qiu Ming looked at the old dean without hesitation, and operated the lotus pupil method, and the forbidden runes in his eyes lit up, slowly swimming, forming a lotus platform phantom.
The old dean only felt a tightness all over his body, and a chill actually rose on his back! He traveled all over his body, suppressed the discomfort on his body, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
Qiu Ming hadn't spoken yet, but he heard the old dean say with a solemn expression: "I'll only ask you one question, what kind of big force are you coming to the Yanhuang Continent to practice?"
Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the old dean asked this, but he still replied: "Why does Master ask this? The disciple is not a child of a big force, he is just a casual cultivator who accidentally stepped into the cultivation world. ”
The old dean nodded, with a slight self-deprecation on his face, and said with a smile: "If you are a child of some big force who comes here to practice, I am just a little monk of the Sea Realm who forcibly accepted you as an apprentice, wouldn't it be a class to get an axe and make jokes in vain?"
Qiu Ming was slightly silent, and could only say: "Master is worried about it......"
The old dean laughed, and said in a deep voice: "If you are really a disciple of a great force, then the old man, this Dan Dao, would rather be cut off from me than teach you!"
Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the old dean, a little unclear.
"Healing and saving people, it's easy to say, but where is it so easy to do......" The old dean sighed slightly, but he didn't explain, but said like this: "For no reason, who wants to let go of himself and let you see where the weaknesses of his whole body are?"
"Don't you want to see a doctor?" Qiu Ming was a little puzzled, frowned and thought about it, and then suddenly reacted, where is this?
How can there be a few people who can trust you completely, let go of the restrictions and let you see through all his weaknesses without any scruples? What if you leave a little bit of hands and feet on him when he is curing?
Even if there is already a pill, there is a clear medicinal effect, and the information that analyzes the pill inside and out is very thorough, there is still an unknown number of monks who have died under the pill, not to mention the pill that has to be refined according to the corresponding symptoms, it cannot be tested at all!
In this case, how many people will trust?
Tyuming was silent, and the old dean seemed to be in deep thought, and after a long time, Tyuming woke up from his contemplation, and saw that the old dean seemed to be caught in a memory, so he didn't make a sound, and gently retreated.
Passing by the Lion's Cave, I saw that his shoddy gate was barely closed, but there was still a little breath leaking out. Qiu Ming smiled slightly and went back to his cave to rest.
After a whole month of retreat, which was the longest retreat in Tyumen so far, I was also a little tired, so I didn't practice and went straight to sleep.
There is no sun and moon in the inner courtyard, there is no day and night, and Qiu Ming does not know how long he slept before he woke up, and after a little tidying, he walked towards the top of the mountain.
The old dean was already waiting, a dark red statue stood on the top of the mountain, and the old dean sat quietly on the side, closing his eyes and meditating.
"Master, the disciple is late......"
The old dean waved his hand without mind, opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Sit down yourself, I'll refine a few furnaces first, you can take a look first." ”
"Yes......" Qiu Ming responded, took out a futon from the storage bag and sat beside the old dean, his divine sense poked out, covering the surroundings of Danding, and closely watching the old dean's movements.
"Ninefold?" The old dean sighed lightly and nodded appreciatively, Qiu Ming was slightly startled, and his mind turned slightly, but he saw that the old dean had already thrown a pill into the Danding, and immediately stopped thinking nonsense, calmed down, and his consciousness followed and observed.
I saw that the pale yellow flame in the dingzhong ignited, wrapping the herbs that the old dean threw in, and then, the old dean led his hand, and a cloud of water vapor condensed out of thin air, and then he led it to the dingzhong.
The flame seemed to be mild, but as soon as the water vapor entered, it quickly exploded, and the old dean was not in a hurry, controlling the flame, keeping the water vapor in a boiling state, and then, with a wave of his hand, another medicinal herb flew in.
As soon as the medicinal herbs entered, the fire qi suddenly flourished, and then quickly recovered.
"Such a medicinal liquid can also be configured by mortals, but refining with mortal fire, one is that the flame is difficult to control, the heat is not easy to master, and the other is that it takes too long. The old dean controlled the change of flames and explained to Tyumen at the same time.
"The reason why the preparation of the liquid medicine is the lowest level is because when the liquid medicine is prepared, the fire and gas are separated from the water, which is easy to control, and the degree of control of the flame by the Dan Master is the lowest. ”
A few more medicinal herbs were thrown into the ding, the water vapor boiled, and gradually began to change color, and those medicinal herbs gradually shrank in the boiling water vapor, and all the essence was refined.
After another moment, the old dean spoke again: "In addition, there is another great drawback of mortal alchemy, that is, the problem of impurities! It is impossible for mortals to have the ability to eliminate these magazines. ”
The old dean said, with a flick of his fingers, all the residues of those medicinal materials after they had shrunk flew out of the water vapor, and the water vapor completely changed color, and more than a dozen colors were mixed, and the flowers were green.
"When the dispensing liquid reaches this step, even if it is basically completed, the last step is only to induce the spirituality of the liquid and completely activate its medicinal effect. ”
The old dean's voice fell, his palm slapped on the body, the original qi broke into the ding, the old dean's anger was extinguished, and the original qi just rushed into the medicinal liquid.
In an instant, the liquid medicine emitted a faint fluorescence, and the color changed instantly, turning into a translucent green, crystal clear.
With a move, the old dean made a move, and the medicinal liquid flew out and poured into the jade bottle that had been prepared a long time ago, "Pills and herbs are both very spiritual medicinal materials, and only by preserving them in a jade box with mild attributes can we best protect the medicinal materials and prevent the loss of medicinal effects." ”
The old dean filled the liquid medicine and handed it to Qiu Ming, Qiu Ming took it, looked at the crystal light of the liquid medicine through the jade bottle, and then remembered the turbid marriage liquid he had prepared before, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"How?
"Master, you said that mortals can also prepare medicinal liquids, so how should mortals complete this last step of the process that requires aura?" Qiu Ming was a little puzzled by this.
The old dean smiled slightly and explained, "Formation, there are special small formations that can help complete this last step. ”
Seeing Qiu Ming's expression, he asked again, "What about the others?"
Qiu Ming nodded without hesitation, he himself had also configured the medicinal liquid, especially the marriage liquid had been refined dozens of times, plus the experience of the inheritance of the word "Dan" about this basic part, he had already read it I don't know how many times, although he didn't understand it before, but at this moment, it corresponded slightly to what the old dean said, and he naturally understood.
The old dean's face showed even more joy, and he immediately said: "Okay, today I will refine all these four realms for you, from the medicinal liquid to the medicinal powder to the condensing pill, and finally to the real pill!"
Danding was angry again, this time the old dean did not throw medicine into it one by one, and all of a sudden more than a dozen medicinal herbs were thrown in, Qiu Ming looked at it carefully, and did not dare to let go of the slightest change.
I saw that the dozen or so medicinal herbs were hanging separately in the tripod, and it was also a ball of fire, but it was burning violently or slowly under the dozen medicinal herbs, and the dozen medicinal herbs shrank at different speeds, and the fine dust fell, and then they were gathered together under the gentle rotation of the firelight.
"The refining of medicinal powder is more difficult than the preparation of medicinal liquid," the old dean still spoke easily while manipulating the refining of more than a dozen medicinal materials, "This medicinal material is in direct contact with the flame, then the alchemist is required to be able to accurately control the temperature of the flame, once the flame temperature is too high and the medicinal materials are scorched, it will be a failure." ”
Qiu Ming's eyes stared unblinking, and his divine sense was even more delicate to observe this miraculous scene, and at the same time carefully recorded the words of the old dean.
"You can refine only one herb at a time, and then mix the herbs together at the end to complete the last step. ”
Qiu Ming nodded, and soon, the essence of more than a dozen medicinal herbs was all condensed and turned into a handful of powders mixed together. All that remains of the herbs in place is a black residue.
The old dean made a move, and at the same time, a piece of original qi flew out, and those powders flew out, just colliding with the original qi, and the medicinal powder rushed out of the original qi, but the color was gone, and it turned into a very ordinary white, and fell in the jade box.
Qiuming didn't have time to look at the jade box, the old dean kept in his hand, and the medicinal herbs flew out and fell into the Danding, this time it was going to be Ningdan!
He watched the dean's movements intently, but saw that the medicinal herbs fell into the Danding, and after being burned by the flames, there were actually drops of liquid condensed out!
Qiu Ming's expression condensed slightly, and he saw that the dozen or so medicinal herbs, some condensed liquid, and some turned into medicinal powder, waiting for all the essence of medicinal herbs to be refined.
With a flick of the old dean's fingers, the residue was directly discharged, and then all the essence gathered together, slowly condensing under the roasting of the flames, forming an irregular mass.
"The pill is formed, and if the medicinal effect can be completely volatilized, it needs Yundan, that is, to use the original qi to guide the whole pill to the extreme. ”
The pill was completely condensed and formed, and a piece of original qi rushed into the ding, and the refining of the flame slowly melted into the pill, and the uneven place on the surface of the pill slowly disappeared.
The pill turned into a streamer and swooped out, Qiu Ming took it and held it in his hand, this is an irregular pill about the size of a thumb, the surface is smooth, but it still doesn't look very good.
"The reason why it is not a regular pill form is because of the conflict between the medicinal effects of various medicinal herbs in it!" the old dean opened his mouth to explain to Qiu Ming, and at the same time, more than a dozen medicinal herbs in his hand fell into the Danding, and he instantly reached the stage of condensing the pill.
"In the process of condensing the pill, if you want to maximize the efficacy of these medicinal materials, you need to balance the medicinal effects of various medicinal materials of the elixir. If the balance is not good, it will appear like the one in your hand, with a strange shape and a sharp drop in the effectiveness of the medicine. Although it still has some effect, compared to the real elixir, this semi-finished product is far worse. ”
After the old dean finished speaking, he drank softly: "Condensation!"
Suddenly, under the observation of Qiu Ming's divine sense, those medicinal essences slowly rotated, moved closer, and gradually gathered into a regular Dan shape, although the surface was a little uneven, but it did look like a pill.
The fire qi eased down, no longer bursting so much, and a stream of original qi poured out of the old dean's hand and rushed into the Danding Yun Cultivation Pill, but in a moment, the pill was completely formed, and the surface became smooth and round.
Bang bang bang......
A series of nine golden auras suddenly rushed out from the Danding, penetrating through the bodies of Qiu Ming and the dean, and spreading more than a dozen zhang away......!
Qiu Ming looked at the nine golden rings that slowly dissipated in surprise, not knowing what it was, but seeing the old dean's expression, he didn't look surprised
