Chapter 637: Visiting the Elders to Refine Spirit Pills
Zhou Yi doesn't know much about alchemy, but as a disciple of the Taoist sect, he also knows that alchemy is actually divided into internal alchemy and external alchemy. Internal alchemy is an important cultivation method in Taoism, which is generally regarded as a Taoist practice method, with the ultimate goal of practicing to become an immortal and achieving immortality. This technique uses the human body as a elixir, so it is called "internal alchemy", and uses a cauldron that is different from "external alchemy" as a furnace. The root of internal alchemy is the change of yin and yang, the generation and restraint of the five elements, the unity of heaven and man, and the correspondence between heaven and man.
The external alchemy technique refers to Taoism using various secret techniques to refine elixirs, which are used to take, or to directly take certain lucid grass to activate its own yin and turn it into yang energy.
The elixirs that monks usually take are mainly refined from external alchemy techniques. They have learned a little about the inner alchemy technique, and after all, it is also one of the mainstream practice paths of Taoist sect. Many sects in Taoist sect use inner alchemy techniques, and among them, Zhou Yi is quite familiar with them like the Pure Yang Sect.
Zhou Yi didn't know much about external alchemy. In fact, when he first entered the world of cultivation, Zhou Yi tried to learn some alchemy techniques when he was studying the formation, the way of refining weapons, and the way of talismans were all one of the important methods of practice for cultivators and also a means of making money. Zhou Yi wanted to try it at that time. However, after being forced by the Blood Evil Sect to re-practice the "Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang", Zhou Yi basically gave up the external alchemy technique.
The "Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang" practices innate spiritual energy. Acquired elixirs have little help to Zhou Yi's practice. The practice elixirs commonly used by ordinary monks are basically useless for Zhou Yi. In addition, it has taken Zhou Yi a lot of time to study the formation, and the karma really doesn't have much energy to study other technologies, so Zhou Yi is too lazy to study any external alchemy techniques.
There is an elder of the Nascent Soul in the Shangsect of Taiqing, who is a master of external alchemy. Many very powerful elixirs in the Shangsect of Taiqing are all from the hands of this elder. There are even rumors that this elder has also refined the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in Taoism legend!
Legend has it that in the ancient times, the Great Heavenly Lord of Taiqing was extremely good at external elixir techniques, and was famous for the Nine-Turn Divine Pills. This Nine-Turn Golden Pill is one of the Nine-Turn Divine Pills. In addition, there are Nine-Turn Taiyi Return Pills, Nine-Turn Dare Pills, Nine-Turn Soul Resurrection Pills, and Nine-Turn Dragon Pills, all famous immortal pills in the ancient times. They can achieve immortality and ascend to the sky.
The Supreme Heavenly Lord was also given a salary as a ancestor by many external alchemy sects.
As the successor of the Taoist throne of the Great Heavenly Lord of Taiqing, Taiqing Shangsect is naturally very good at external alchemy techniques. However, the elder of Taiqing Shangsect is rumored to have refined the golden elixirs, which is just a single-turning golden elixir.
Although it only takes one turn, after taking it, it can instantly improve the efficacy of a small realm of the Golden Pill monk. It can be called the most divine pill in the world of cultivation now!
Zhou Yi wanted to prepare some pills for Xue Yuexin to overcome the tribulation, so he wanted to visit the elder. Before leaving, He Wanyu called Zhou Yi and handed him a small bottle of tiger bone wine.
"Is this?" Zhou Yi didn't react for a while, not knowing what He Wanyu was going to do.
"Senior brother, the elder likes fine wine. This time I went to visit. After all, I wanted to ask the elder to help. It's a bit bad to go there with empty hands!" He Wanyu said with a smile.
Zhou Yi patted his head, "Look at this, I forgot this!" In recent years, others have been begging Zhou Yi to do things. Zhou Yi has become accustomed to that. He has asked someone to help him. He has forgotten the worldly style and plans to go empty-handed. Fortunately, there is a good wife who has prepared a gift for him in advance!
Bringing tiger bone wine, Zhou Yi went straight to the elder. The elder's disciple was also a disciple of the Xuan generation. He was very familiar with Zhou Yi. When he saw Zhou Yi, he looked surprised, "Junior brother, why are you here? A rare guest!"
"Hehe, come and do something with the elder. Is the elder free? " Except for the master of the sect, Zhou Yi has basically never been to the cave of other elders.
"If you have time, you must have time. Please wait, I'll go in and report it!"
"I'm here to help my senior brother!"
"Well, why are you?"
A moment later, the senior brother came out, "Junior brother, come in quickly. The elder just released a furnace of elixirs and was just free!"
Following this senior brother into the cave, the elder is not bad for being a master of alchemy. The cave courtyard is like a vegetarian vegetable base, and large areas of spiritual plants are planted. Compared with others, Zhou Yi's vegetable garden is completely a small workshop.
"Disciple Ling Yi, meet the elder!"
The elder smiled and said, "Sit down, you are a rare guest!"
Zhou Yi smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this busy? I have never had time to visit you! I heard that I like to drink a few sips, so I brought you a bottle of tiger bone wine. This is the fine wine I got in the Arctic then!"
The elder was not polite, and took a sip in front of Zhou Yi, "No, it's made of transformed tiger demon tiger bones, and it has been brewed for many years, and the taste is really good!" The elder, who took another sip, looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Tell me, what's wrong? You kid will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble!"
"This, my partner Xue Yuexin, isn't you going to form a pill to overcome the tribulation? Do you want to ask you to help you refine some pills in case of emergency!"
"Xue Yuexin, you are so infatuated. You have also taken great pains to make your two Taoist couples!"
"I can't let them down even if they follow me wholeheartedly!"
The elder nodded, "It's no problem. What kind of pill do you want to refine?"
"This, I really don't know much about the disciples of the alchemy. You can just watch it and do it. I'll be relieved by one hundred younger generations!" Zhou Yi took out a bunch of spiritual plants as he said that.
Zhou Yi has always believed in professional people doing professional things. As for the alchemy, he couldn't catch up with the elder even if he beat him up, so he just wanted to do everything for the elder.
"You kid has been walking around the world of cultivation in the past few years, but you really haven't made it. I can't catch up with this value!"
"Thank you hard money, all hard money!"
The elder looked at the spiritual plants and picked out the needed materials casually, "These are enough!"
"Creating elixirs to overcome tribulation, the pill is just an auxiliary function. It is mainly to help those who overcome tribulation quickly recover their true energy during the intermittent period and treat external injuries. The ability to overcome tribulation depends on the strength of the cultivator himself and the magic weapon that sacrifices and refining!"
"I have prepared almost the rest. I have a few spiritual weapons and a golden silk robe. With the elixir you have refined, it should be a few of them in seven or eight layers!"
"Golden Silk Taoist Robe! You kid really invested a lot!" Even the elder was a little surprised when he heard the Golden Silk Taoist Robe.
