Chapter 237 Today I Know the Essence of Alchemy
Behind the Huangjin Sect, there is a thatched cottage.
Yuanxiao's figure suddenly appeared in the thatched cottage. This time I stayed in Tianqi World for a total of 100 days, and only 10 days passed in the human world outside. For the disciples of the Golden Sect and Yao Lao, Yuan Xiao's practice did not take too long.
When I walked out of the thatched cottage at Lantern Festival, I saw no one on the top of the mountain.
Yuanxiao guessed that Taoist Sikong had returned to Donghaizhou. The master is not here now, and he probably went to the alchemy pavilion of the Golden Sect. Firstly, the master likes alchemy, and secondly, Yuanxiao announced that the Golden Sect will mainly develop alchemy in the future, and the master will naturally support it.
Yuanxiao rose into the sky and flew directly towards the sect's alchemy pavilion. The hilltop where the Alchemy Pavilion is located is not high. The entire hilltop has been influenced by herbs and elixirs all year round, and it already has a faint medicinal fragrance.
Walking into the alchemy pavilion at the foot of the mountain, it turns out that Yao Lao is in the alchemy room. Ebi, Mu Zi and Li Zi are also there, listening carefully to Yao Lao's teachings.
Yao Lao let out a sigh when he saw Yuan Xiao coming in, obviously a little surprised.
"In just 10 days, you have crossed two small steps, from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, and then to the late stage of foundation building. It is amazing. You are indeed my good disciple!" Yao Lao praised.
Ebiudao, Muzi and Li Zi suddenly opened their mouths.
No, I mean, Brother Yuan, can you be any more outrageous? Brother, it took 50 years to go from the early stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building. Now you tell me that it only took 10 days! Ebido is almost ready to curse!
If Yuanxiao knew what Mr. Hai was thinking, he would definitely say: You were delayed by the barbaric alchemy. You were unconscious for three days and two days of alchemy, and you are still practicing nonsense!
Although it didn't take Muzi and Li Zi 50 years to cross this stage, they didn't dare to imagine that anyone could do it in 10 days!
Muzi pinched his arm, it hurt so much, then it was real! Idol, great god, please take off my knees!
"Just average, third in the world. With a master like you to guide me, will it be enough for more than 10 days?" Yuanxiao said.
"My disciple is so humble. This is as it should be. It's okay to be ranked third or second, but we can't be ranked first!" Yao Lao praised.
Ebiudao, Muzi and Li Zi suddenly had black lines on their heads.
Both the master and the apprentice seem a bit outrageous, right? How could they be able to compete with each other in business to this extent?
At this time, Yao Lao coughed and began to say seriously: "Since my disciple is here, I will tell you some tips on alchemy. Please listen carefully. I will only say it once."
When they heard about alchemy, several people immediately pricked up their ears. They were all true alchemy enthusiasts. Including Yuanxiao, she has recently fallen in love with alchemy and plans to make alchemy a lifelong side job. She will rely on it to travel around the world in the future!
"Article 1 of alchemy, choosing medicinal materials is very important. If you just want to refine a low-grade elixir, it doesn't matter; if you want to refine a medium-grade or high-grade elixir, you must carefully select the medicinal materials. Not only the dead branches and leaves must be removed , the spiritual energy contained in the medicinal herbs itself must also be sufficient, so you must pay attention when cultivating medicinal materials from the medicinal garden.”
"Article 2 of alchemy refining, you should pay attention to the age of the medicinal materials. Middle-grade elixirs may also be directly refined through exquisite alchemy skills, while the medicinal materials of high-grade elixirs generally must be of a certain age before they can be refined. Not only the main materials must be paid attention to Even the vintage of the auxiliary medicinal materials must keep up with the vintage, otherwise it will be basically impossible to refine high-grade elixirs.”
"The third rule of alchemy is to accurately control the proportion of various medicinal materials. Many people are prone to make this mistake, thinking that just throwing all the medicinal materials into the elixir according to the recipe is done. It is a big mistake. Different proportions of medicinal materials can make different The elixirs are completely different, and even the efficacy has changed, so why talk about making elixirs? "
Yuanxiao just heard the third article, and it was like being enlightened. Many of the doubts and problems caused by the previous alchemy were suddenly solved. Ebido, Muzi and Li Zi did not expect that there would be so much emphasis on the medicinal materials alone. This shows how many mistakes they had made before. No wonder they had never refined a middle-grade elixir!
"Article 4 of alchemy is to adjust the heat accurately and timely. Some people, including you probably, like to use the fire of the earth veins to make alchemy from beginning to end, and never know how to adjust the heat in the middle. How can you make a good elixir like this? Give full play to your spiritual power, activate the fire when you need martial fire, suppress the fire when you need slow fire, and adjust the heat at any time according to the refining stage, so that you can make good elixirs! "
Yuanxiao and the other four people suddenly burst into sweat and felt ashamed. The four of them basically refined the fire to the end as soon as they turned on the earth vein fire. How could they adjust the fire in time, let alone adjust it accurately! They didn't adjust it at all!
"Article 5 of alchemy is to accurately use your own spiritual energy to replenish the spiritual energy of the medicinal materials at any time. Alchemy is not just about throwing the medicinal materials into the furnace and ignoring them, nor is it just purely using the spiritual energy of the medicinal materials themselves, but it is about accurately making elixirs. Control your own spiritual energy, replenish the medicinal liquid, replenish their spiritual energy content and maintain the balance between them, so that you can make a good elixir! "
At this time, Yuan Xiao admired her master so much. No wonder the master could stand at the pinnacle of alchemy in the human world. With this trick of accurately replenishing spiritual energy and maintaining the balance of spiritual energy of different medicinal materials, several people could figure it out!
Ebido, Muzi and Li Zi were so excited that they burst into tears. They had been refining alchemy for so long, when had they ever heard such superb and detailed instructions?
These small details and micro-operations are the difference between ordinary alchemists like them and real alchemy masters.
From this moment on, their alchemy journey has begun to take off!
"The sixth rule of alchemy is to try to remove impurities and toxins before alchemy. Many people only know to remove toxins and impurities during the alchemy process, but it is time-consuming and laborious and the effect is poor."
"The trick is to find a place with sufficient and pure spiritual energy to cultivate medicinal materials during the planting period. This pure environment can also be created artificially. For example, the highly concentrated pure spiritual liquid of the disciple can irrigate a pure spiritual medicine space."
"Before starting the alchemy, you must use your own spiritual energy and experience to purify the medicinal materials for the first time, so that about half of the impurities and toxins can be removed."
"Then during the alchemy process, remove impurities and toxins for the second time, so that the final alchemy Although the elixir produced still has impurities and toxins, the content is very slight, so it is possible to refine medium-quality and high-quality elixirs! "
After saying this, Yao Lao paused for a while, and then continued: "The above 6 points are the key to refining medium-quality and high-quality elixirs. Every alchemy master must understand and master them. They are the basic skills of the alchemy master."
"Of course, other external forces are also very important, such as an alchemy furnace of superior quality, an alchemy fire that suits you, etc. These are opportunities, which can be encountered but not sought. You can try your luck slowly!"
Hai Laodao, Muzi and Lizi immediately kowtowed to Yao Lao to thank him for his teaching today!
Yuanxiao pinched his master's shoulders like a dog!
