Chapter 21: Stone Change

More than a dozen elixirs for refining qi dispersion are gone again.

Zhang Yan wanted to cry and looked at the pill residue in the Dan furnace without tears, and the small pile of black black black waste pills piled up next to it, in fact, the waste pills couldn't be talked about, but the elixir was accumulated but not fused and scattered aside, if it was further refined, it would also be scrapped.

Zhang Yan stared at the Dan furnace, his eyes were a little dull, his heart was full of frustration, according to the refining steps, there was no mistake in the details.

If there is a mistake in the refining method taught by the master, Zhang Yan directly does not believe it, it is something that the master has repeatedly taught himself over the past five years, and his old man will not make such a common-sense mistake, this is the lowest level of pill refining.

couldn't figure out the reason, Zhang Yan could only suppress the anxiety in his heart, and simply calm down first, maybe he could figure out the key issues.

After cleaning up the remaining residues, cleaning the Dan furnace, and replacing the charcoal fire with a new one, Zhang Yan did not plan to continue refining, but recalled the refining steps of other pills.

The highest-grade elixir that Ouyang Fu taught to Zhang Yan was considered to be the Breaking Erjin Pill, which was the elixir used to break through to the Jindan stage during the foundation building period, but all that was needed was an extremely precious high-grade elixir, even if there was an elixir, it could not be refined without its own three-flavor true fire.

"By the way, it's because of the alchemy furnace and the fire!"

Zhang Yan, who was originally sitting on the futon and preparing to cultivate, suddenly thought of the fire required for high-grade elixir, although he had only heard the master mention it and had never seen it, but the three-flavor true fire was not comparable to ordinary fire, it was the true fire of the monk who cultivated himself after the foundation building period, and the fire condensed by himself with the power of heaven and earth.

"What the master taught me is according to the standard of refining with three-flavor true fire or even six-flavor pill fire, but I use mortal fire to refine, no wonder, and I can't blame the old master, it's because I can't learn and use it myself. ”

Zhang Yan pondered for a while, figured out the reason, couldn't help laughing at himself, stopped his cultivation, and sat down in front of the alchemy furnace with confidence again.

still followed the steps of alchemy, but the fire control aspect was extended by Zhang Yan and became more cautious.

After a day and a night of refining, removing the charcoal fire, opening the Dan furnace, and seeing the two slightly rough and dark green pills lying quietly inside, Zhang Yan's face was full of excitement, and he carefully picked up the pills, put them in front of him and looked left and right for a long time, as if he had picked up a high-grade treasure pill.

"The Cheng Dan rate of 20% is very low, and the quality of the pill is not good, but it is a good start. ”

Zhang Yan muttered to himself, lying on the floor with a tired body, refining the pill for the first time, the excitement in his heart can be imagined, as long as he can achieve something in alchemy, and then find a way to get the elixir, he is not afraid that the cultivation will not be able to improve, no matter how difficult it is, immortality is expected.

"If you cultivate in this valley for a long time in the future, and the elixir of the sect can't be moved, then find a way to get some elixir seeds and plant the elixir yourself, if you can grow the elixir and refine it yourself, with the assistance of the elixir, even if you don't have a spiritual root, you can still continue to improve your cultivation, and then you can also call Zhou Fatzi to come over to help, the two of them work together, God rewards hard work, why not be afraid of the difficulty of the fairy road!"

Zhang Yan seemed to see the road of immortality in front of him, he was full of confidence, his mood was also extremely comfortable, and he began to refine the elixir in high spirits.

Another month has passed, and Zhang Yan, who has been obsessed with refining pills, has finally finished refining all the elixirs on this day, and there is not a single plant left.

Nearly 100 copies of the Qi Refining Elixir, Zhang Yan finished refining it in one go, although there were only about twenty Cheng Dan, but this already made him excited.

The clothes are messy, unkempt and dirty, the eyes are red and swollen, and the face is pale, this is what Zhang Yan looks like now, plus with a smile that can't help but be excited, looking at how cold he is.

Zhang Yan washed up in the waterhole under the waterfall in the depths of the valley, and then soaked in the hot spring in the morning, and when his fatigue was gone, he meditated and collected his mind, and prepared to start cultivating, this time the goal was to break through to the fourth layer of the Qi refining period.

When Zhang Yan took out all the Qi Refining Disperse and was about to cultivate, he accidentally saw that on the side of the storage bag, there was the withered yellow leaf that had been exchanged at the Luoshan City Trade Fair and the hand of the girl on the street, and he hadn't taken it out for a few months since he came back to take a good look.

At the moment when the withered yellow leaf fell back into his hand, the mysterious stone on Zhang Yan's chest fluctuated again, and this time the fluctuation was even stronger than the first time.

Just as Zhang Yan pinched the leaves, about to check the connection between the mysterious stone on his chest and the leaves, a burst of coolness suddenly came from his chest, and there was a slight cold and huge breath, which had already permeated his body for a moment.

Zhang Yan was startled, and directly took off the black cloth bag that had been hanging close to his body, the black small cloth bag had not been looked at seriously before, but now that he looked carefully, this small cloth bag was obviously made by Ouyang Fu himself, but the small cloth bag that was originally deflated now became bulging, a little cold, and it seemed that there was liquid in it when he rubbed it with his hands.

Could it be that there is really something in this stone?

Zhang Yan opened the small cloth bag, and it was the first time he opened it after getting this stone for more than a year, only to see that the small black cloth bag contained most of the milky white liquid in half of the bag, the liquid exuded a cold trace of cold, and also emitted an unknown dark fragrance, and in the middle of the liquid, a small stone the size of a thumb floated quietly, saying that it was a stone but it was round and decent, but it was like a miniature small volcano on it, the traces were weird, and the undulating dents and lines seemed to have a certain regularity, as if it was a formation, but it seemed to be contrary to the convention, and the formation was fundamentally the opposite。

Zhang Yan didn't dig much into this, his understanding of the formation method, in the master's five years of teaching, only knew a little bit of the skin, and it was normal not to see its mystery.

What surprised Zhang Yan the most was the milky white liquid in the cloth bag, and now he was sure that it had seeped out of this small stone, otherwise it would be impossible for a liquid to appear in the cloth bag out of thin air.

Could it be that the stone is hollowed out, and there is this liquid in it?

Zhang Yan poured the milky white liquid into a jade bottle and put it into a storage bag.

Picking up the small stone and looking at it for a while, except for the strange indentations and lines, the stone did not have any cracks and small holes, Zhang Yan was full of doubts and put the small stone back into the cloth bag and hung it around his neck again.

Then he looked at the yellow leaves in his hand, there was no change, and the stone on his chest did not fluctuate, and he couldn't figure it out, so Zhang Yan could only withdraw the storage bag.

began to take the pill, and now Zhang Yan's own meridians have become several times wider than the beginning, and the pill melts in his mouth, and a wave of medicinal power instantly spreads throughout the body.

However, what made him wonder was that the medicinal power he could absorb was very small, and every time he used the Qing Linggong and absorbed the spiritual power around his body, he could absorb very little of the cultivation.

This situation is probably due to the lack of spiritual roots.

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and sank into cultivation.

Half a month has passed, and Zhang Yan's cultivation is also slowly improving with the assistance of the elixir.

But on this day, Zhang Yan suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the futon at once, touched the cloth bag hanging on his chest with his hand, and confirmed the coolness that came, as well as a soft cloth bag to the touch, and he took off the cloth bag on his neck again.

Untied the small black cloth bag, and looked at the milky white liquid that was half filled inside, and the small white stone floating in the middle of the liquid, this time, Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore.
