Chapter 51 Encyclopedia of Pharmacy
The third elder put the jade bottle in Qi Haoyuan's hand and asked with a smile, "How is it, do you see it clearly?"
Qi Haoyuan frowned slightly, nodded unconfidently, he wrote down the whole process, but after all, it was the first time to contact alchemy, how could he get started so quickly?
"Hehe, the first failure is not terrible, I don't ask you to refine the Dan, I just need to see how well you control the fire. ”
"Okay, I'll try my best. Qi Haoyuan nodded stiffly.
"Alright, I'll tell you how to control the flames through your sense. The third elder briefly told Qi Haoyuan about the skills of controlling fire.
In fact, it is not difficult to control the fire, the difficulty is when to use a simmer, when to use a blazing fire, this must not be wrong, once the fire is wrong, the pill may be destroyed, or change the properties of the medicine.
According to the skills said by the three elders, Qi Haoyuan tried to integrate his divine consciousness into the flames, controlling the size of the flames with his spiritual power, and repeated it a few times, and he almost mastered it.
The next thing is practice, Qi Haoyuan closed his eyes, recalled the whole process of the three elders' alchemy, recalled the nodes that changed the size of the flame every time, pondered the whole process back and forth in his heart a few times, and was sure that he had memorized everything before he started to do it.
At first, the process was to melt the medicinal materials with a large fire, in this link, Qi Haoyuan did not make a mistake, he threw the medicinal materials into the flames in turn, controlled the fire, and after all the medicinal materials were melted, it was time to gradually change the fire.
The most taboo thing about alchemy is that the process is blunt, for example, a large fire is being used, and suddenly a small fire is used, and the strong contrast will cause the pill to explode because the heating temperature changes too quickly. Whether it's going from a big fire to a small fire or a small fire to a big fire, it takes a gentle process.
This is a difficult problem for Qi Haoyuan, who tried alchemy for the first time, he only remembered to change the heat at this time, condense the pill with a simmer, and remove impurities, but the process was a little stiff.
Qi Haoyuan's memory is not bad, he operated step by step, and he actually survived to the last step, which surprised the three elders, he didn't expect Qi Haoyuan to be able to carry out the fusion to the point.
At this time, Qi Haoyuan had already devoted himself to alchemy, and it was quite difficult for him to release his divine sense for a long time, and fine cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, but he was still insisting.
The melted herbs blended with each other and then split into six parts. At this point, Qi Haoyuan still wanted to continue to persevere, but his spiritual power was obviously not enough, and he could not control the six flames at the same time.
"Bang"
The sound of exploding pills sounded in the medicine furnace one after another, and the prototypes of the six blood forging pills shattered in the flames, fell to the bottom of the flames and burned clean, and the first alchemy finally ended in failure.
But the Third Elder was already quite satisfied, such a result exceeded his expectations, there was no doubt that Qi Haoyuan's fire control ability was qualified, at least in the eyes of the Third Elder, he was already extremely satisfied.
Qi Haoyuan felt a little sorry, he poked his head to the top of the medicine furnace and looked down, and saw the elixir burned to ashes by the flames, and his heart was a little distressed.
"It almost succeeded, hey!" Qi Haoyuan sighed, not satisfied with his performance.
"That's right, it almost worked. The third elder smiled and patted Qi Haoyuan's shoulder and said, "It's already good, I'm quite satisfied with the three tests, I haven't seen what the Xuanyin body is like, but among the people I have met, you are one of the most suitable people for alchemy, I have decided to teach you and me the Dan technique of my life from now on." ”
"Really, hehe, Third Elder Xie Lu. Qi Haoyuan was overjoyed, and he almost picked up the third elder.
The three elders looked around, mysteriously leaned into Qi Haoyuan's ear and whispered, "When there is no one in the future, don't call me the third elder, call me the third master, anyway, I will teach you the Danshu, you call me Master is not aggrieved." However, if there are people, you still call me the third elder, lest others say that I rob the apprentice with the senior brother in charge. ”
Qi Haoyuan laughed and nodded again and again, "Third Master." ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" The lovely and kind Third Elder Da Lu laughed, he finally got his wish and received a successor who could inherit the mantle of Dan Dao, even though it was an apprentice who borrowed someone else.
Before the Third Elder formally taught Qi Haoyuan Dan Technique, he needed to do a lot of preparations, first of all, it was a "Pharmaceutical Encyclopedia" and a small book that the Third Elder had thrown to him before. These are the basics of entry, you have to be skilled to the bones, as an alchemist, if you can't even know all the medicinal materials or don't know them, then there is really no cure.
The second is to exercise spiritual power, this thing is very mysterious, invisible and intangible, but it is extremely useful, especially in alchemy. Alchemy sometimes needs to be multi-purpose, then it is necessary to allocate spiritual power to control, if the spiritual power is not enough, it will inevitably not be able to persevere, the reason why Qi Haoyuan failed when the pill was formed was because the spiritual power was not enough, and he could not manage the six flames, which eventually led to failure.
With a lot of precautions told by the three elders, Qi Haoyuan left the Medicine King Hall excitedly.
......
Learning alchemy after cultivation is not a wonderful thing. Qi Haoyuan had already started an erosive idea: refining a lot of pills, and then eating the pills as sugar. Maybe while eating, just like Sun Monkey, he has cultivated a body that is not bad.
From this night on, Qi Haoyuan couldn't wait to open the "Encyclopedia of Pharmacy" and memorized those elixirs that he had never even heard of, including the efficacy, characteristics, growth environment and so on of each medicinal material. Immortal cultivators have a stronger memory than ordinary people, and with the improvement of cultivation, they can eventually reach the point of unforgettable.
Although Qi Haoyuan can't talk about it now, his memory has obviously improved significantly compared to when he was studying. In a thick "Encyclopedia of Pharmacy", there are 9,999 kinds of elixirs recorded in the common sense chapter, and these 9,999 kinds of elixirs are relatively common and relatively easy to obtain.
In the Strange Chronicles, there are also records of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine elixirs, but the descriptions of these elixirs are relatively simple, because they are extremely rare, and some people may not be able to meet a few strains in their lifetime, so the description of their characteristics is more concise and concise.
So many elixir records are like an Oxford English dictionary, before it was changed, it was estimated that Qi Haoyuan would be afraid from his heart without reading it, but this time, he read it patiently, and interest decided everything.
And when he opened the small book given to him by the three elders, he read it all over, and only conveyed one thought: practice makes perfect. The three elders were also patient, and wrote no less than 10,000 words in the small book, but after eliminating nonsense and examples, only those four words remained.
In the words of the Third Elder, this is what he has learned. Qi Haoyuan just wanted to say: I bought a watch last year!
While doing these things, Qi Haoyuan did not slack off in his cultivation, and he was not happy when he remembered that the real person said that Duan Fei's cultivation was already above him. I thought I was fast enough, but I didn't expect the stupid guy to fly faster than himself, which is not scientific.
In Qi Haoyuan's understanding, anyone can be faster than himself, but stupid people can't fly, if you want to ask what is Wei, the answer is very simple: I am the elder brother, how can the elder brother lose to the younger brother.
The metamorphosis of the chaotic body has been obvious to all, and when Qi Haoyuan wants to improve his cultivation, the speed is definitely open. In order to sleep and improve his cultivation, Qi Haoyuan strengthened the exercise of the Chaos Dao Body, as long as the Dao Body is completed, then in the future, he can truly achieve dual use, the ontology to concentrate on alchemy, and the cultivation matter is handed over to the Dao Body.
In the past few days, Hengtong Zhenren did not give Qi Haoyuan any other tasks, but only changed him with a powerful cultivation method, and then instructed Qi Haoyuan to concentrate on tempering the Dao body.
Hengtong Zhenren attaches no less importance to the Chaos Dao Body than Qi Haoyuan, while Qi Haoyuan tempers the Dao Body, the real person has already started the research on another characteristic of the Chaos Body, and the information about the Chaos Body that he went out to explore this time is not only the Chaos Dao Body.
Chaos was formed before the opening of the world, it is the foundation of all things in the universe, all things are evolved from chaos, and there are many secrets contained in chaos, but for the chaos body, few people know about it, and real people can only dig out the secrets of the chaos body through scattered information.
Nowadays, Qi Haoyuan's cultivation is still low, and it is impossible to conduct research on the chaotic body by himself, and his early research can only rely on Hengtong Zhenren.
