Chapter Ninety-Three: Alchemy (Part II)
Su Han soon found out that he was wrong.
His preconceived opinion made him feel that Zhou Deming didn't have much real material, so when he went to class the next day, he began to listen to Zhou Deming's explanation of the method of alchemy quite disappreciatively, and he had an idea in his heart, so he listened for two days for the time being, and found an opportunity to tell Zhou Deming that he was not interested in alchemy and interrupted this alchemy study.
But soon, he put this plan behind him, because as soon as he listened to Zhou Deming's lectures, he was deeply attracted by what the young Taoist master said. So much so that he completely forgot that the alchemy he learned from this unreliable lecturer was likely to be a second- or third-rate alchemy.
After an hour, Su Han only felt unfinished, and looked at Zhou Deming with expectant eyes.
"Uncle Shi, can you extend the daily teaching time a little longer?"
Zhou Deming shook his head, "At most an hour a day, any more, it will delay my cultivation." And you haven't even entered the door now, and I've told you too much about it, and it's hard for you to understand. After you go back, take the time to read more about the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and the alchemy method I gave you, and how well you will achieve alchemy in the future depends on how well you have read these two books. ”
Su Han didn't say much, stood up, and saluted respectfully towards Zhou Deming, "That disciple retires." ”
"Go ahead. Zhou Deming said lightly.
Su Han returned to the firewood room and read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and the method of alchemy. Memorizing content and understanding content are completely different concepts, so after Su Han's divine thoughts are strong, the ability to remember them is not so useful at this time. In the cultivation plan he made for himself, it has become an indispensable part of his daily refreshment of the contents of these two books.
After spending half an hour reading, Su Han came to the courtyard and began to cut wood.
After receiving the reminder from the cloud cat, Su Han put away the remaining half of the box of jade and turned to practice carving with wood or rock to practice "Imperial Things". The practice of the "carving method" lasted for one hour, during which he had to go back and forth between the dining room and the firewood room to deliver firewood and grass.
In the afternoon, Su Han first meditated for an hour, mobilizing his divine thoughts to refine the body fragments of the nightmare demon, and with each bit of refining and shattering, the effect of the increase of divine thoughts was like devouring a life-eater. And in this hour, Su Han could refine almost fifty points of fragments. If there were no surprises, Su Han would be able to completely refine the entire Nightmare Demon in a month.
After meditating, Su Han came to the courtyard again. Reaching the fourth level of qi refining, the "Returning to the Yuan Technique" is a small success, and the true qi can be transformed into a sword element, which means that now he can start to cultivate the "Qinghong Sword Qi", but this exercise is obviously not as simple as Su Han imagined, and it is very difficult to practice.
The cultivation of "Qinghong Sword Qi" lasted until the evening when the firewood and grass were delivered, and then he returned to the house to start the cultivation of the realm, which lasted until the dawn of the second day, and went to the Materia Medica Pavilion to listen to the class.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that there was another person who was doing the same thing as him four hundred miles away, Su Han would not have carried out this cultivation plan at all, but would have focused his energy on improving the realm. This is because this seemingly well-organized but very mixed way of cultivation is actually the biggest obstacle to the ascension of the realm.
Now the speed at which his realm has improved is only thirty percent of his full cultivation. But he didn't hesitate whether he should change his current cultivation plan, because since he killed Ding Gu, whether it was dealing with the seventh-layer cultivators of the Black Evil Sect or fighting with Guo Jinzhong's flying sword, Su Han understood a truth, that is, the cultivation realm often couldn't decide a qiē.
What's more, he has the peerless skill of "Great Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique", and he can completely amplify his efforts, so that although his cultivation speed has decreased slightly, it is still not inferior to the cultivation speed of other outstanding disciples.
In this way, after three consecutive months, Su Han was finally qualified to go to the alchemy room to refine the elixir.
"Originally, a monk could only refine the pill after reaching the foundation building stage and giving birth to the samadhi true fire in the dantian in his body. However, in order to facilitate the disciples of the Qi refining period, the various sects generally set up alchemy rooms in the sects. The alchemy room stirred the earth fire and used special large magic weapons to gather refining flames, although it was not as good as the Samadhi true fire, but it was enough to refine low-level pills. Standing outside the alchemy room, Zhou Deming said to Su Han.
He pushed the door and entered, leading Su Han into the alchemy room.
The alchemy room is about four or five zhang in circumference, two zhang high, all the walls are brass, and the walls are carved with phoenix unicorns and various fire beasts.
As soon as Su Han entered, he saw the big Dan furnace that was one person tall in the center, and under the Dan furnace, a huge dragon head stretched out from the ground, facing the bottom of the Dan furnace.
"I've already told you how to make alchemy, you try it first. Zhou Deming stood aside and said to Su Han.
Su Han didn't say much, walked to the Dan furnace, and took out a batch of medicinal herbs from the Qiankun bag, "Seven coins of red-headed fern, one or two ...... of black wind grass" He read while taking out the herbs and putting them into the Dan furnace.
After putting in the Seven Flavor Pill, Su Han activated the dragon head below, and the earth fire came out, releasing the herbs and activating the dragon head are the basic skills of alchemy, and if someone who has not studied alchemy comes, he will also do it. What really tests the alchemist's alchemy is clever or not, but it is the skills and techniques of controlling alchemy with divine thoughts in the subsequent process. The manipulation skills of the Divine Mind are different, and the elixirs refined are also absolutely different, and even the same materials are refined by different people, and different grades of elixirs can be refined.
When all the herbs in the Dan Furnace melted, Su Han suddenly released his divine thoughts and went deep into the Dan Furnace.
Zhou Deming, who was standing on the side, changed his expression slightly, because at this moment, he clearly felt that Su Han's divine thoughts were twice as powerful as they were three months ago!
He stared at Su Han's back, his expression was a little strange, what happened to this kid? Not only did his cultivation improve rapidly, but even the most difficult divine thoughts to improve also improved so quickly?
However, it is clear that a powerful divine mind is beneficial to alchemy. According to Zhou Deming, although ordinary Qi refining fifth-level cultivators could come into contact with the art of alchemy, their divine thoughts were too weak after all, and refining the elixir that could not be refined into the grade, it was already very good for the ten furnaces to succeed in one furnace. But although Su Han is a fourth-level Qi refining monk, his divine thoughts are too powerful, and this control of the fusion and diffusion of the medicinal liquid makes him seem to be at ease and at ease.
However, after all, it was his first alchemy, and after a while, he showed fatigue, and all the divine thoughts at the beginning were fully invested, which made him consume a large amount of divine thoughts prematurely, so that when he reached the middle and late stages of alchemy, it was difficult for his divine thoughts to control the fusion and decomposition of the medicinal liquid, and finally the first alchemy failed without suspense.
Su Han took out the pill and wanted to do the second alchemy, but Zhou Deming shook his head, "You have just started cultivating now, and it is enough to try to practice for an hour a day." ”
"Is there already an hour?" Su Han was surprised, looked at the hour, and found that it was indeed an hour that had passed.
Su Han extinguished the fire and asked, "Uncle Shi, I have a few questions that I don't understand, and I want to ask for advice." ”
"No, don't ask yet. Zhou Deming refused directly.
"Why?"
"You go back and think about it, and ask me again tomorrow when you give a lecture. Zhou Deming said.
