Alchemy is a very rigorous matter. A mature alchemist often needs to start learning by identifying medicinal materials, accumulate for years and decades, and find out the successful experience after failure, so that it is possible to refine elixirs.
If a sect wants to train a qualified alchemist, it also needs a lot of investment in the early stage. For example, those small sects and small families simply do not have the strength and foundation to train their own alchemists, because just in the process of accumulating alchemy
The expenses involved are beyond what they can afford.
The total number of Chinese medicine practitioners in Kyushu is actually quite large. Each of these medical practitioners is proficient in pharmacology and knows how to better heal people's injuries. However, not all medical practitioners can make elixirs. Only those who can make elixirs account for
The amount is very small, not even 10% of the quantity. Even if it is this 10%, the skill of alchemy is high or low and cannot be generalized.
But there is such a miraculous treasure in this world. Even people who are not familiar with pharmacology, as long as they master the rules, they can refine elixirs that even the most brilliant alchemists can't match!
Dan gourd!
Lu Ye decided to call this treasure gourd obtained from Taichu Realm Dan Gourd, and the name was perfectly consistent with its characteristics.
He actually doesn't understand why Dan Gourd has such a magical ability, but since it is an innate treasure, it makes sense to have some strange things that ordinary people can't understand, just like the sword gourd has the ability to swallow treasures and derive sword energy.
Likewise, this is the ability of the sword gourd itself. The user does not need to understand its principles, but only needs to utilize it.
Originally, Lu Ye had no plans to return to Aoshan Mountain in the near future, but after understanding the efficacy of Dan Gourd, he still had to return to Aoshan Mountain.
I found a Tianji Merchant Alliance nearby and used the Tianji Pillar in the Tianji Merchant Alliance to teleport directly back to the original Blue Blood Sect.
This is a small stove that Xiaojiu opened for him. In the entire Jiuzhou, now only Lu Ye can use the Tianji Pillar to teleport anywhere at will. Others do not have this authority. The main reason is that Xiaojiu has never been seen in front of others. Now in
Among the Nine Provinces, Lu Ye is the only one who knows the details of Xiao Jiu.
There was Yang Qing before, but Yang Qing has left.
I found Second Senior Sister Shui Yuan on the defensive front, and after a brief conversation, Second Senior Sister took him to a secret room.
Seeing his mysterious look, Shui Yuan laughed and said, "Did you get something good?"
Lu Ye gave her a thumbs up: "Second Senior Sister, I have a sharp eye, Junior Brother, I really got something good, look!" He took out the alchemy gourd as if he were offering a treasure.
Shuiyuan took it and looked at it carefully. Although he could feel the mystery and extraordinaryness of the elixir gourd, he was completely confused as to where the extraordinary thing was.
He looked at Lu Ye in confusion: "What is the use of this treasure?"
Lu Ye took the elixir gourd from her hand, took out a bottle of elixir and some prepared medicinal materials from his storage bag, and said, "Sister, let's take a look at these medicinal materials. What do you think?"
Shui Yuan's attainments in alchemy are not low. In addition, Lu Ye specially asked her for some advice two days ago, so when he saw the medicinal materials, he knew clearly: "These medicinal materials are used to refine Yun Ling Dan."
Material?"
In Kyushu, the spiritual elixirs needed for monks to practice are divided into three types according to their levels: Yunling elixir, Yuanling elixir and Yunling elixir.
The Yunling Pill is the lowest grade and is needed by monks in the Lingxi realm. The second is the Yuanling Pill, which is needed by the monks in the Yunhe Realm. The Yunling Pill is used in the cultivation of Zhenhu and Shenhai.
The elixirs are made from different materials and contain different medicinal effects.
After Lu Ye was promoted to the True Lake Realm, the elixir he took was Yun Ling Dan. During training and fighting, he often stuffed it into his mouth like eating fried beans.
Yun Ling Dan is the highest grade and the most difficult to refine. Even if Shui Yuan takes action himself, he can only guarantee a 70% success rate.
So after seeing Lu Ye take out these materials for refining Yun Ling Dan, he couldn't help but be a little curious. Could it be that Lu Ye wanted to make the elixir himself? If so, what was this gourd used for?
Lu Ye smiled slightly, opened the bottle containing the elixir, and took out a elixir. It was the Yunling elixir!
Then, under Shuiyuan's puzzled gaze, Lu Ye sent the Yunling Pill to the mouth of the gourd. A faint light flashed, and the gourd swallowed the Yunling Pill.
Lu Ye quickly stuffed all the materials for refining Yunling Pill into the elixir gourd.
When all the ingredients were put into the elixir gourd, the elixir gourd suddenly vibrated gently. Shuiyuan was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions, and just waited quietly.
In just a moment, another faint light flashed through the gourd's mouth, and then a ball of dense water spurted out.
Lu Ye had already had experience and quickly put it away, nine times in succession, before sending it to Shui Yuan: "Senior sister, please take a look!"
Shuiyuan was stunned. Looking around, he saw nine dazzling treasure pills arranged neatly on Lu Ye's palm, each one blooming with a faint light.
It is not an exaggeration to say that something like this is a pearl. At first glance, it seems to have nothing to do with elixirs. Even though Shuiyuan has been exposed to elixirs for many years and has refined many elixirs himself, he has never seen such a bizarre thing.
scene.
Lifting two jade fingers, he picked up a magic elixir from Lu Ye's palm, carefully observed the mysterious lines on the surface of the elixir, then put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed gently, looking at Lu Ye in shock: "This is
Yun Ling Dan?”
Lu Ye nodded: "Senior sister, you can try the medicine."
Shui Yuan looked at the elixir in his hand, as if he had seen something he liked, and was quite reluctant to part with it. However, thinking that Lu Ye still had eight pills in his hand, he ruthlessly stuffed them into his mouth.
A soft popping sound came from Tan's mouth, Shuiyuan closed his eyes and felt it quietly, the expression on his face kept changing.
If she hadn't experienced it personally, it would be hard to believe that there was such a high-quality Yuanling Pill in this world. She clearly realized that when this pill entered her belly, it quickly turned into a mild medicinal power, which was the most rare thing in improving her own foundation.
What's strange is that she didn't feel the slightest impurity from it.
Although it is not as intuitively reflected as Lu Ye's talent tree, with her cultivation strength reaching her level, especially as an outstanding alchemist, she can still vaguely detect how many impurities are contained in a spiritual pill.
Any elixir contains impurities, which are harmful to monks. They can also be called erysipelas. If the elixir is taken for a long time, the erysipelas will accumulate in the body of the monks, and they have to spend time and energy to resolve it.
Therefore, for monks to practice, the use of spiritual elixirs is only a supplementary method. No one will swallow a large amount. If this is the case, it will take time to resolve the erysipelas afterwards, which is not worth the gain.
The quality of an elixir depends entirely on how much erysipelas it contains. This is also the ultimate pursuit of alchemists when refining elixirs. A highly skilled alchemist who can refine elixirs with less erysipelas will naturally be more popular.
sought after.
But Shuiyuan never thought that there was a magic pill without any erysipelas in this world, and that it was born under her nose.
For this reason alone, once the news of the existence of this spiritual elixir is leaked, it will definitely be sought after by all monks!
Not only that, the medicinal effect of this Yunling Pill is also extremely strong. It cannot be compared with ordinary Yunling Pills. The difference must be calculated in terms of at least several times.
It is also a Yunling Pill, without erysipelas, and its efficacy is several times greater than that of an ordinary Yunling Pill. This kind of elixir can almost be called a divine thing!
Shuiyuan has been in charge of the Jade Blood Sect all year round, overseeing the overall development of the sect, so he only realized the huge role this elixir would bring in the future in just a moment.
The most direct point is that if there are enough such elixirs in the sect, the disciples' cultivation speed will be unimaginably improved! The time required for the growth process is also much shorter than that of other monks.
"Junior brother, what kind of treasure is this gourd, and why can such a spiritual elixir be refined?" Shuiyuan opened his eyes and asked.
Lu Ye said: "I call it Dan Gourd. I got it by chance when I went with Senior Yang Qing to a place called the Reincarnation Tree. Originally, I didn't know what effect it had. I only figured it out in recent days. As for why it works
Refining the elixir... This thing is an innate treasure. This is probably its own ability. The mechanism cannot be studied. I only know how to use it. Come, senior sister, I will teach you how to use it. You will keep this thing in the future.
"
Shuiyuan nodded and listened carefully.
In fact, the process of refining the elixir with the elixir gourd is very simple. First, you need to let the elixir gourd swallow a elixir. This is an introduction.
Then put the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir into the elixir gourd. When the amount and quantity of the medicinal materials added are sufficient, you only need to wait quietly, and the elixir gourd will refine the elixir of extremely high quality on its own, spitting it out.
Out.
Of course, the quality of the elixir produced by Danhu has a lot to do with the quality of the medicinal materials invested.
The biggest reason why the healing pills that Lu Ye refined before and the elixirs used in practice were of such high quality is that the medicinal materials he put into them all came from Taichu Realm. Those medicinal materials were not only rare, but also precious, and were refined from these medicinal materials.
The quality of the elixirs that come out has naturally improved.
When demonstrating in front of Shuiyuan, the medicinal materials used were bought from the Tianji Treasure House. They were all medicinal materials that could be found in Kyushu. However, even so, the quality of the elixir produced was beyond imagination, and it was definitely beyond human power.
The level of quality achieved.
The elixir gourd is different from the sword gourd and the wind gourd. It can be used by monks to fight enemies, giving the monks strong offensive power. The nature of the elixir gourd is more like an auxiliary type, but it is this nature that
It is what a newly developing sect like the Jade Blood Sect needs.
Giving the Dan Gourd to Shui Yuan for safekeeping was also Lu Ye's decision after careful consideration.
His main method of practice is to steal the secrets of heaven. That kind of practice efficiency is enough, and there is no need to take the elixir produced in Danhuli to improve it further.
And even if he really wants to take the elixir, he can just buy it directly from the Tianji Treasure House. With the talent tree nearby, he is not afraid of mere erysipelas.
Therefore, Dan Gourd is of little use by his side. In this case, letting Shui Yuan keep and use it to promote the development of the sect's overall strength will be more useful than staying by his side.
