Chapter 234: Refining Incense 2
This set of luxurious tools, said to be used by ancient monks to refine incense, is actually at least 100,000 years later than the incense refining technique recorded in the general outline of Fu Zheng!
Fang Zhuo's incense refining techniques were more about personal control ability and level. From this set of tools, it can be inferred that with the popularization and deepening of incense refining techniques, more refined division of labor, and more advanced appliances began to occupy a large part, and personal ability was weakened a lot.
Refining incense was first used in the worship activities of ancient ancestors.
At that time, miracles often came, and fairy traces could be seen everywhere. The earth-shattering means displayed by the great powers are as majestic as the way of heaven! Even so, it is still difficult for all ethnic groups to survive in the flood famine. The power of nature showed an incomparably rough and violent energy during that period! Even if they were immortals, they were often wiped out in an instant in front of the power of heaven and earth!
Therefore, all kinds of tribes will pray to the heavens in the form of sacrifices to the heavens for mercy on the tribesmen who are struggling between life and death.
The best sacrifices, the most powerful witch sacrifices, the most beautiful maidens, the most extravagant altars, and also include the best incense burning ............ extracted from countless heavenly and earthly treasures. These are the highest things dedicated to Heaven.
Refining incense began at that time.
From between the lines of the general outline of the talisman, Fang Zhuo felt a trace of recklessness. He could even feel what a sacred profession alchemy was at that time.
In Fang Zhuo's opinion, talisman refining, alchemy, refining weapons, and incense refining were all extremely sacred skills. For nothing else, human beings have come from the ancient wilderness and the blue wisps of the road, step by step, these skills are a powerful help for human beings to reach the pinnacle of this world!
Fang Zhuo's feelings seemed to be sensed by the general outline of the talisman. This jade book slowly shimmered with golden light in Fang Zhuo's sea of knowledge, and it gradually disappeared after a long time. Fang Zhuo's sea of consciousness was slowly spinning, spinning all the time, never stopping. Ever since the aura of the 10,000-year-old stone blue broke through the diaphragm of the mud pill (Zhihai), Zifu, and Mingtang, the half-black, half-hundred-and-half-hundred-thing flew out of the general outline of the talisman and landed at the core of Zhihai. Driven by this half-black, half-hundred-and-half-hundred air mass, Zhihai began to rotate steadily.
Fang Zhuo stared intently at the air mass that he couldn't see through, and after a long time, he slowly stood up.
The strength of the various sects really surprised Fang Zhuo, the nine elixirs contaminated with dragon qi that they had sent, one was rarer than the other! He had already determined that these things could really draw out the larvae of the green-winged flying borer, and even the medicinal effect was still above that of the so-called dragon artemisia!
However, before that, he needs to refine the incense first!
In the inheritance obtained by Fang Zhuo, the finished products of incense refining are divided into three subcategories.
Burning incense, as the name suggests, is used to burn and produce fragrance.
Incense, baked in a special smoker, has a built-in spice that slowly and evenly releases the aroma. This incense is more durable than burning incense.
Pulse incense, this spice is the most advanced, and it is also the most difficult to refine. This incense is refined into small pieces of incense with special talismans on them. As long as you put it indoors, they will slowly release their fragrant scent. This process is extremely stable and can last for years or even decades! If you need to put away its aroma, as long as you activate the talisman on the incense block, the aroma release will stop, and the breath will be completely sealed. This kind of incense was stored in the altar of the god in the earliest days, and it was extremely valuable.
What Fang Zhuo wanted to refine now was burning incense.
For refining incense, Fang Zhuo is really lacking in interest. It's not that he doesn't want to learn or doesn't want to learn, but he has too many things to learn at the moment, and he can't take care of it at all.
But the opportunity was in front of him, and Feng Lei proposed to make some benefits, which really made Fang Zhuo's heart moved. In addition, this skill has been exposed to the sect, and it is obviously impossible not to learn it at all.
Fang Zhuo had no choice but to put some effort into researching and researching, and then surviving the current hurdle first.
The most attractive thing about incense refining is quenching and purification. After Fang Zhuo's research, he found that the two links of refining incense, material purification and quenching incense, required so high the monk's divine sense and spiritual power control ability, it was simply outrageous!
Fang Zhuo has had many experiences in alchemy, and has a deep understanding of the purification and refining of alchemy Chinese medicinal materials. But compared to refining incense, that kind of refining and purification is simply simple to home!
After Fang Zhuo had seen the process of refining incense, it was clear that if he mastered the two links of refining incense, quenching and purifying, alchemy would become easier! Needless to say, most of the spices in incense refining were elixirs used in alchemy. And the combination of spices and alchemy can be said to be the same.
Because, the purification of the elixir in alchemy is to directly bring out the essence of the elixir from the elixir, and the more you extract, the cleaner the better. The purification is to further purify the essence and remove all the impurities in it.
However, incense refining is different.
When refining incense, the purification of the material cannot be directly extracted, and the essence in the spiritual material must be at the level of half-vomiting and half-receiving. And the same is true when quenching incense, not all impurities must be eliminated from the spurs, and a part of them must be left! And some of these impurities can slow down the release of aromas. However, when quenching incense, it is also necessary to remove the impurities with peculiar smell that affect the effect of incense refining. This difficulty has gone up like this!
What Fang Zhuo had to do now was the first step in processing the spiritual material———— baking.
The difficulty of baking is also high. Fang Zhuo needed to roast all kinds of spiritual materials slowly on top of the simmer, not too hot, and not too long. It is necessary to remove the moisture from the spiritual materials, but also not to bake the aroma inside. This is relatively simple for plant-based spiritual materials, but it is difficult for some demon beasts to have a part of their bodies. For example, the rhino horn of the white jade rhinoceros, which is incomparably harder than ordinary refined iron, needs to be roasted to be crispy, and the aura and aroma inside cannot be escaped. This was unimaginably demanding for Fang Zhuo's divine sense and spiritual power to be controlled. What's more, there are even more difficult mineral-type spiritual materials to deal with.
Looking at the fires beside him, Shen Pingqi prepared five kinds of spiritual fires for Fang Zhuo to use. This is a quiet room in Ding Jian Peak, and there is a branch of the earth fire vein in the room itself. This fire vein was divided into hundreds of large and small branches, providing the alchemy of hundreds of Ding Furnaces of Ding Jian Peak day and night.
In addition to the earth fire, the White Crystal Flame and the Blue Purple Fire were all relatively soft flames, and Shen Pingqi had not prepared a kind of green gold fire and an agate fire for Fang Zhuo, both of which were relatively strong flames.
He reached out and grabbed it, and a purple flame flew out of a jade bottle. Fang Zhuo now fused the extremely high-end flame of Burning Gold True Flame in his bloodline, and his control over the flame was already very powerful. The flame danced slowly in his hand, wisps of blue fire streaks constantly appearing in the flames.
This is the blue veined purple fire.
