According to Zhi Lingqi's exploration of the consciousness sea of Ling Lao's son and mother when he was in the first trial of the Qu Shi clan, and his understanding of Ling Lao following him for nearly two years, Ling Lao's ability to achieve such results is definitely due to his hard work and hard work.
The result of hard work.
At this time, Zhi Lingqi understood in his heart that the current Ling Lao had really stepped out of the state of resentment and now became a representative figure of self-reliance and hard work. This made Zhi Lingqi have a greater understanding of Ling Lao.
change.
For the future Ling Lao, I can completely let go of my personal attention and concern. All that is left is to give some guidance on cultivation. As for Ling Lao’s psychological changes and his ability to cope with difficulties and setbacks
, there is no need to care.
Putting away these thoughts and analyses, Zhi Lingqi immediately replied to Elder Ling: "Yes, the fusion has been completed, and the cultivation level has been improved by about two levels, and a considerable part of the energy of the Chaos Water Source Spirit and Wood Source Spirit has not been combined.
Not completely absorbed."
"Congratulations, young master. Congratulations, young master. It seems that the big step of the young master's breakthrough to the body shaping realm is just around the corner." Elder Ling flattered Zhi Lingqi somewhat, which made Zhi Lingqi feel a little restless.
Feeling, but it’s hard to refute Mr. Ling.
After all, Ling Lao also had good intentions, but he was not used to being flattered and flattered by others. Therefore, at this moment, the topic between the two fell into silence. Everyone had nothing to say for the time being and could only look at each other and smile.
.
Originally, Zhi Lingqi wanted to ask Ling Lao about the current progress of learning the "Alchemy Sutra" and see if it was consistent with his previous guess. But now, under Ling Lao's flattery, he has given up asking.
Thought, because he was afraid that Ling Lao would be affected.
If Ling Lao has worked hard to learn and understand, but the results are not as good as his previous guess about Ling Lao's progress, then it will inevitably affect Ling Lao's enthusiasm. This is Ling Lao's newly established confidence.
When the two of them had nothing to say for the time being, Yiyi yawned and walked into the small cave where Mr. Ling lived. When she saw that Zhi Lingqi was also here, Yiyi asked: "Brother Qi, what are you doing?"
Have you finished refining the Chaos Wood Source Spirit?
By the way, Brother Qi, why didn't you wake me up and instead came to Grandpa Ling? Does Grandpa Ling have any questions and needs you to answer them?" Yiyi thought of Zhi Ling Qi refining the Chaos Muyuan.
Ling, but did not go to her and felt puzzled.
But with Elder Ling present, she couldn't directly ask Zhi Lingqi about her doubts. She had to use the excuse that Elder Ling had a problem and needed her brother Qi to solve it, and then tactfully brought her problem out, because she
I won't hold it in my heart.
"Haha, in fact, I returned to the cave where we rested a long time ago. I just saw you sleeping so soundly, so I didn't disturb you, so I came to Ling Lao. I saw that Ling Lao had already woken up, so we chatted
A few small talk.
By the way, Yimei, you have studied the "Alchemy Sutra" now, and you must have learned a lot, right? Let's talk about it and see how your grades are?" Zhi Lingqi explained the reason why he came to Ling Lao.
, and also asked Yiyi about her study of the "Alchemy Classic".
"Alas! I only have a little understanding of a very small part of the knowledge in the "Alchemy Sutra". Most of it has never been heard of before, so it is a bit difficult to learn it. So far, I have only understood two hundred
Knowledge of multiple medications.
This is the result of me not having any rest except sleeping. I don’t know how much Brother Qi, you and Mr. Ling know about the contents of the "Alchemy Sutra" now. I also want to know whether I have any talent in refining elixirs.
.”
"Alas! Little Yiyi, young people really have a good memory. You eat when you need to eat and rest when you need to. In this way, you have mastered the knowledge of more than 200 kinds of medicines, but I work hard without eating, drinking or resting.
It took three whole days to understand more than 300 kinds of things.
It’s really annoying to compare people to each other. I don’t know if my level is suitable for alchemy, but I still hope to become a good expert in alchemy. If I don’t even have the confidence, then I might as well stop learning and comprehending it as soon as possible.”
"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you two too confident? With your current progress, neither of you has the talent to refine elixirs. Then who else can refine elixirs? Besides, you just memorize some pharmacological knowledge.
It doesn't reflect the talent of alchemy.
The qualification test for a real elixir practitioner should be in the combination and preparation of drugs, the refining of drugs and the refining of elixirs. The combination of drugs cannot only be based on the formulas in the book, but should be based on various specific conditions at the time.
Flexible deployment.
For example: when refining the same elixir, different people, different cultivation realms, and the ingredients and efficacy of various drugs must be treated differently. This kind of analysis, judgment and appropriate processing is the test of personal elixir refining.
Talented.
Of course, this is also an accumulation of experience. No one who is new to alchemy can make accurate analysis, judgment and appropriate treatment. Even the most talented person cannot do it very well.
Just some detours.
The second item is the extraction of active ingredients of medicines. If we follow the old method, that is, the method in Laozi's "Alchemy Classic", to extract effective medicinal liquid ingredients from naturally occurring medicines, it will also be a test of personal level.
of.
That method is the alchemy furnace extraction method, which is a method of refining the useful ingredients of medicine. When I was in the earliest primitive Green Valley, I obtained the crypt of a rattlesnake and lived there for the first time. Later, the alchemy inheritance of that small tribe was exterminated.
That small tribe that was exterminated was a race that lived exclusively for refining alchemy and refining weapons. From their inheritance records, we know that their level of alchemy is not much different from the current "Alchemy Sutra" of Lao Tzu.
, and also have their characteristics.
I got their alchemy books at that time, and combined them with the inherited memories in my sea of consciousness to refine three primary elixirs there. They are the detoxifying pill, the hemostasis and muscle-building pill, and the bone-continuing pill. The initial failure rate was
, that is terrible to look at.
Even though the operation was careful and careful at the time, the impurity content of the extracted liquid was still quite high. It was not because my skills were too poor. At that time, I was at the ruins of that small tribe and got some of the medicine they had preserved.
elixir.
I tried to take that elixir called Shengling Dan, but it really bothered me enough. Later, I used my natural consciousness to explore the situation of that elixir, and found out that they treated it like a treasure.
medicine, its impurity content is about 30%.
In view of this situation, I started to think differently and used new methods of modern science and technology in the human world to extract the active ingredients of the drug. In this way, the first step of extracting and processing the drug liquid will basically no longer cause damage.
Dropping of medication occurs.
The other is the refining of elixirs, which requires a full understanding of the characteristics of each drug among the different elixirs to be refined, in order to determine the order in which effective medicinal liquids are added, furnace temperature control, heating time and baking and rounding, etc.
processing of key links.
Only by mastering the control of each link in these three stages can one be considered a qualified alchemist. Otherwise, even if one has talent and qualifications, it will be a joke or just empty bragging."
"Ah! Brother Qi, it turns out that alchemy is so complicated? If I had known it was so troublesome, I really wouldn't study it. But now I have made an agreement with you to compete. Alas! It seems that it is really going to happen.
It’s been hard work for a while.”
"Have you been working hard for a while? Haha! Yimei, you underestimate the difficulty of alchemy. Alchemy is different from making talismans. For practitioners, as long as they can sense the existence and changes of the yin, yang, five elements and other heavenly ways in nature, making talismans
, it’s not a big problem.
What follows is nothing more than carrying out groping exercises based on the changing laws of yin and yang and the five elements, drawing these laws and functions on the talisman paper, and using the power of heaven's way of nature for one's own use. This means that you have basically mastered the key points of talismans.
Of course, making talismans is undoubtedly an unfathomable problem for people who cannot sense the trajectory and power of heaven. It is simply out of reach. Such people spend their whole lives studying and understanding, but it is in vain. This is
Characteristics of symbols.
But alchemy is different from the method of making talismans, which is difficult if you know how to do it, and it is not difficult if you know how to make it. It does not require strong talent and qualifications. What it mainly requires are two principles and four words, that is: study, diligence, no study.
If you are diligent and diligent, nothing will be achieved.
Research refers to the understanding of each medicine, the flexible deployment of each side, the exploration and control of each procedure, the control of the heat at every moment, etc. All of this requires exploration and exploration in order to finally achieve the ability to make alchemy.
As for the fundamental way to specialize in research, there is no other way. Diligence is the only correct path. Specialized research is not about luck, nor is it blind and reckless. He needs to combine hard work and flexible thinking and exploration to achieve the ultimate goal.
