Chapter 70 Alchemy
Jiang Chen pushed open the gate of the courtyard and released a medium-grade alchemy furnace. He recited the magic trick. The medium-grade alchemy furnace, which was originally the size of a fist, grew up drippingly, becoming more than one person tall. There were three ancient furnace mouths, which were extremely simple. The inner and outer walls of the alchemy furnace were covered with talisman textures, which looked good at first glance.
Seeing that the owner was about to refine the alchemy, the spirit beasts in the cave were squeaking and jubilant, especially the dragon fish in the small lake, which also swam from afar. Looking at the alchemy furnace by the lake, the guy had a carp body, but had a dragon head, which looked like he fell down halfway through the dragon gate and failed to transform into a dragon.
Many monks like to raise dragon fish. The biggest reason is that it can improve Feng Shui and has subtle effects that cannot be spoken of.
"You have a trace of dragon's blood on you, you are really a foodie."
With a flash of his finger, an ordinary elixir flew into the lake. Before he could fall to the water, the guy jumped up and held the pills. He tumbling for a while, jumping up and down to please the owner who was feeding.
"Rejuvenation Pill and Qi Condensation Pill, let's practice these two things first."
Jiang Chen went to the medicine field to pick a few medicinal materials for refining the Rejuvenation Pill and the Qi Condensation Pill. The method of refining is actually not complicated. Alchemy monks in the early stage of Qi refining can refine the highest grade of medium-grade elixirs.
According to the elixir recipe, mix various medicinal materials one by one, not a little more than a little.
"The Rejuvenation Pill, which functions to replenish blood and heal wounds, is the most commonly used spiritual medicine for low-level monks. If mortals take it, they can white bones and produce flesh, cure diseases and remove evil."
The refining of the Rejuvenation Pill is very simple, the key is to control the heat.
After the monk draws qi into his body, there is a stream of true fire in his body. Using true fire to refine alchemy, not only is the temperature higher, but the true fire can also soak the medicinal materials through the alchemy furnace, which is far from comparable to firewood, charcoal and fire.
Cover the furnace cover and pinch the True Fire Art. A light blue flame shot into the alchemy furnace. It was stimulated by the formation in the alchemy furnace. With a bang, the fierce true fire burned and wrapped the entire alchemy furnace.
"The first step in refining alchemy is to melt medicine."
In the first step in alchemy, monks ignite the alchemy furnace through the true fire, mix various herbs together at high temperatures, and refine impurities with true fire. They must not only use true fire to activate it, but also pay attention to the fact that the fire cannot be too large.
However, for beginners, even after reading the alchemy recipes and alchemy experiences several times, they still face a lot of difficulties.
Just the second time when the real fire was fired, the alchemy furnace exploded with a bang, and the furnace of spiritual medicine inside was burned into slag, and the fire was too fierce.
A pot of residue was poured out, which made a group of spirit beasts very excited. Several bold monkeys stepped forward and then swarmed away the remaining residue.
"Brother Chen, you human monks are just in trouble. If you change to my old monkey, what kind of spiritual medicine and demon pills, I will swallow it all in one mouthful."
The old monkey lay bored on the stone chair beside him, pointing at the same time while drinking. When several monkeys saw him, they ran over to beat his shoulders and pinched his back.
"Woo, it's better for my monkey grandson. Let's have a good time with me and let you all eat and drink."
The old monkey turned over and continued to enjoy the massage. He took out a bottle of diluted spiritual wine. Several monkeys chirped and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He was so unfilial.
"Human monks cannot compare with you demon monks. One is a long and the other is a living being. With my qualifications, except for hard practice day and night, I can only take elixirs and treasures of heaven and earth."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said that the advantage of the demon clan is that even if he does not practice, he will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by himself. Over time, his life span is extremely long, but it is not as fast as that of human cultivators, and his understanding is much worse.
Work hard and continue to refine the elixir. The second furnace of elixir was relatively smooth and the medicine was melted smoothly, but it failed in the second step of forming the elixir.
"It seems that alchemy is different from practicing. It's not that you have a high understanding."
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and poured the medicine residue on the group of spirit beasts again. After a while, after the spiritual power in his body recovered, he began to refine the pill for the third time.
融药……
成丹……
Both steps were completed smoothly. Under the action of spiritual power and the alchemy furnace formation, the spiritual medicine began to form elixir groups, floating in the alchemy furnace, and receiving the fire of the alchemy furnace burned from all directions.
The third step is crucial to conceive elixir. Burn slowly in low heat and slowly activate the formation of the alchemy furnace. The whole process cannot be wrong, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.
Jiang Chen pinched the True Fire Art from time to time and produced a series of true fires. The formation triggered the vigorous flames to wrap the alchemy furnace, slowly raising the pill.
With one incense stick of exercise, a slight buzzing sound came from the alchemy furnace, which was the rhythm of the alchemy.
"Bang!"
He suddenly reached out and slapped the elixir furnace, and more than a dozen streams of light flew out of the elixir mouth, and were collected by the jade bottle one by one.
"one two three……"
There were fifteen pieces of Rejuvenation Pills, bright in color and strong fragrance of medicine. When I pinched one and took it, I felt a warm current flowing into the dantian, and the fatigue of the elixir just now disappeared.
"Brother Chen, I can successfully refine the elixir for the third time. The old monkey has a good time."
The monkey ran over and swallowed it after two pills, screaming.
“总算是入门了.”
Jiang Chen carefully packed the remaining rejuvenation pills and returned the pellets to the warehouse. Fortunately, he purchased a lot of medicinal materials in the market before, otherwise it would be very troublesome to have failed these two times.
Since he succeeded, he was not ready to drag it out. He took out twenty pieces of spiritual stones and turned them into spiritual liquid, and began to refine the Rejuvenation Pill and Qi Condensation Pill continuously.
While refining elixir, drink spiritual liquid to replenish spiritual power and keep the true fire strong.
Until all the two kinds of elixirs and herbs were used up, they failed three more times, but fifteen bottles of Rejuvenation Pills and nine bottles of Qi Condensation Pills were refined. What was surprising was that one of the furnaces actually refined a medium-grade Rejuvenation Pills, which was really a big surprise.
"Brother Chen, you human cultivators are smart and skillful. In the past, some monks of the demon clan wanted to refine elixirs, but they couldn't even complete the step of melting medicine. Some even exploded the alchemy furnace. Wow... I can't stand it, I'll go to sleep for a while, and you can continue to refine elixirs."
The monkey could no longer bear the boredom. He took a few sips of wine, kicked the monkey beside him away, and crawled into the small world of storage bags to rest.
"Just comparing lifespan, human monks lose completely. How can they not endure hardships?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, took out the beast spirit pill recipe, and carefully memorized it. He had read this pill recipe many times. He could not refine elixirs before, and there were still questions in many places. Now that he has refined more than twenty furnaces of ordinary pills, he finally has some confidence in his heart.
Compared with ordinary spiritual medicines, Fire Snake Orchid and Thunder Flame Grass are too precious. Once they fail, they will suffer heavy losses.
So Jiang Chen ran to the sect's herb pavilion and used the sect's contribution and spirit stones to buy a lot of herbs, and even bought some spiritual medicines to refine the Tianpu Pill.
The Heaven-Buying Pill is the top spiritual pill, but it is not as good as a treasure pill.
The refining of Butian Pill is also quite tortuous. Not only did it cost a lot of contributions from the masters, but it also cost more than 70 spirit stones, so that it could only make up enough materials for the seven furnaces of Butian Pill.
三炉失败,四炉成功.
"All the magic weapons that can be sold have been sold, and there are only a few dozen pieces of emergency left in the spirit stones. All the others that can be used are just two medium-grade spirit stones, and we can't continue to try the alchemy."
On the fifth day of the alchemy refining, Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and took out the recipe for the beast spirit pill.
The pill recipe for the beast spirit pill, a furnace of pills requires five first-level demon pills, one fire snake orchid, and two thunder flame grass.
Carefully prepare the medicinal materials and adjust your breath to the smoothest, then pinch the True Fire Art and hit the first True Fire. In addition to the different pill recipes of the Beast Spirit Pill, the firepower and burning frequency of the True Fire are also different.
With a bang, the demon pill in the alchemy furnace suddenly burned. The formation activated the flames and began to burn the demon pill quickly, burning the impurities inside it bit by bit.
The fire also grilled the Fire Snake Orchid and Thunder Flame Herbs, and the herbs slowly turned into medicine juice. A trace of impurities, together with the impurities in the demon pill, were refined, burned, and then discharged from the pill stove.
The step of melting medicine alone is much more complicated than the Rejuvenation Pill, and the time for melting medicine is five times that of the Rejuvenation Pill. If it weren't for the spiritual liquid that had been prepared long ago, Jiang Chen would not be able to persist with the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining.
No wonder I have never heard of cultivators in the early stage of Qi refining able to refine spiritual elixirs and beast spirit pills. Even if there are elixirs to restore spiritual power, they have to withstand such high-intensity alchemy in the middle stage of Qi refining.
The process of melting medicine was in danger. When he saw the three pills dripping in the elixir furnace, Jiang Chen felt that his whole breathing became rapid. He finally calmed down and began to enter a long period of pregnancy pills.
From morning to night, the time for pregnancy pills is far greater than that of the Rejuvenation Pill and Qi Condensation Pills. Jiang Chen calculated the time and drank more than 30 pieces of spiritual liquid transformed from spiritual stones. It took six hours, from morning to night, and finally it was almost perfect.
The three beast spirit pills emitted the sound of tigers and leopards from time to time in the alchemy furnace, and the luster flowed, and they occasionally collided against the lid of the alchemy furnace, as if they were about to rush out of the tripod.
This is a sign that only precious elixirs can have. Pills are divided into spiritual elixirs, treasure elixirs, immortal elixirs and divine elixirs. Even the Rejuvenation Pill and Qi Condensation Pills are at most considered spiritual elixirs, spiritual elixirs and treasure elixirs, and foundation-building elixirs are considered treasure elixirs.
