Chapter 348: Alchemy and other levels (two in one chapter)
"Huh~."
As the last stroke came down, Liu Yu put down the pen and picked up the paper, blowing gently to dry the ink on it.
Then he used the "Object Control Technique" to control the paper to float in front of Leng Yuexin.
"I will obey the leader's order. We will do our best to complete the task and live up to the leader's expectations!"
The three people who formally received the order saluted solemnly.
"Well, not bad."
"This discussion ends here. Everything will be done as Liu said. I hope you won't make any mistakes."
"Okay, fellow Taoists, you can go and get busy."
Liu Yu looked around with a serious expression and nodded gently.
After speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Farewell."
The twelve people left the cave one after another and drove away in the light.
"If the Bai family doesn't resist, can these hundreds of thousands of mortals avoid this disaster?"
After leaving the cave, the sun shone brightly on his face. Yan Kai paused, and this thought suddenly occurred to him.
"hehe."
He laughed to himself, feeling ridiculous for his naive thoughts.
"Alas~."
Thinking of the attitude of Senior Brother Liu and most people, Yan Kai sighed softly again, and then drove away with the light.
He has realized that this war in the world of immortality may be more cruel than imagined.
And he himself can't change anything. If he wants to avoid being eliminated, he can only change himself.
After the twelve people left, the originally lively hall suddenly became silent and returned to its previous calm.
Liu Yu looked at the lotus flowers in the pool and thought about the process of this discussion.
After carefully recalling everything and confirming that there were no omissions, he took out the book of Baicao Dan and began to study the "Chi Yuan Dan" prescription.
The spiritual grass and elixir have been matured in the black spiritual field. With the current knowledge of alchemy, it is very simple to understand the elixir recipe.
Therefore, Liu Yu plans to refine the Chi Yuan Dan in the next few days to increase the speed of cultivation.
…
It had been one day since the Phoenix Mountain was conquered. The news spread and the outside world was in an uproar.
"With six foundation-building monks, the Bai family was so powerful, so gone?!"
Some monks couldn't believe it, and some couldn't believe this fact.
They have been making a living in this area, and the words "Fenghuang Mountain Bai Family" can be heard in their ears, and they feel a little at a loss for a moment, even a little panicked.
They are afraid that they will be affected or die.
Except for a few brave monks who went to verify the authenticity of the news, most monks reduced their activities or retreated into the secular world to escape the turmoil.
I plan to wait and see for a while until the storm subsides.
If this area becomes no longer suitable for staying and practicing, they can only abandon everything here and choose to "leave home".
This is the helplessness of casual cultivators.
"The unrivaled Lianhua Fairy fell into the hands of the Yan Kingdom monks like this?"
There were also monks who loved Bai Lianhua, and even his subordinates, who felt sorry for the beauty's death, and felt a strong dislike for the Chu monks in their hearts.
But they are not strong enough and dare not really attack Phoenix Mountain to avenge their "fairy".
We can only smear the image of Liu Yu's team in the public, ruin the reputation of the Chu monks, and even add some baseless things such as "cruelty" and "evil" to exaggerate and distort the facts to a certain extent.
Trying to use this method to vent the injustice in my heart.
"Damn Chu traitor!!"
There were also monks who were gnashing their teeth and resentful of Liu Yu's team for destroying their interests.
These small forces or casual cultivators at the level of Qi refining have more or less connections with the Bai family, and they follow their lead. Generally speaking, they are the "minions" of the Bai family.
The Bai family ate meat, and they could follow and drink soup, so they lived a pretty good life.
The good situation that had been in business for several years or even decades was gone. They hated Liu Yu and his team the most.
But the cruel reality is before them. If they don't want to be purged like the Bai family, there are only two ways to go.
We must quickly sever ties with the Bai family and become a "leader".
Either give up the hard-earned business and leave this area.
The Bai family perished and the Wei family took refuge.
For the monks who live five hundred miles south of Jinquefang City, this is undoubtedly earth-shattering news.
With the end of the Bai family, the pattern of this region has also undergone fundamental changes. It can basically be said that the overall situation has been decided.
Even though there are still a few foundation-building families and a few foundation-building casual cultivators, they have nothing to do and can no longer stop Liu Yu's conquest.
Faced with this rare change in thousands of years, most monks don't know what to do.
…
Time flies by like water, just two days pass by in a blink of an eye.
Phoenix Mountain.
The original White Lotus Cave and practice room.
Liu Yu's eyes were tightly closed, and a dark green color appeared on his face. He slowly pinched one magic formula after another in his hand, and used the Qingyang Gong to refine the power of the Yangyuan Pill.
"call"
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, blowing up some dust on the ground, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"It's time to refine the Red Yuan Dan."
Liu Yu thought silently.
At this time, under the heaven-defying effect of the Immortal Mansion, the spiritual herbs and elixirs for refining Chi Yuan Dan have all matured, and a total of ten copies have been prepared, which is completely sufficient for practicing.
Make a few furnaces first to see the effect. If the effect of the elixir satisfies you, it won't be too late to ripen more spiritual grass and refine more Chi Yuan Dan.
As for this elixir, I completely absorbed it in two days.
Thinking like this, Liu Yu sat on the futon without getting up, closed her eyes again, and her consciousness touched the green light spot of Niwan Palace.
A familiar suction force came, still so irresistible, and he felt his eyes go dark.
It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a long time passed.
When Liu Yu regained consciousness again, she was already in a cyan barrier, with a black spiritual field underneath.
And he turned into the prototype state of the soul again, becoming a red light group the size of a human head.
The Dusk Star Spiritual Tree, which is more than ten feet tall, emits a blue spiritual light, and the branches are hung with fruits emitting blue light.
A thick silver light beam is projected onto the Dark Star Spirit Tree. Looking towards the source of the light beam, only a small silver light spot can be seen, which seems to be located at infinity.
This is an illusory star between existence and non-existence!
At present, it is impossible to understand the principles and rules behind this. Liu Yu looked at it for a while and stopped looking at it.
He floated gently towards the three cabins with a very clear purpose.
After a while, he controlled a spiritual hoe and dozens of jade boxes and came to the black spiritual field.
At this time, all the spiritual herbs and elixirs in the spiritual field have matured. Except for the Dark Star Spiritual Tree, they are all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Red Yuan Dan.
Liu Yu did not hesitate, and with the power of his spiritual consciousness, he controlled the spiritual hoe to fly into the spiritual field, and began to dig out the spiritual herbs and elixirs one by one.
Then he also used the power of his spiritual consciousness to control the spiritual grass and make it fly to the jade box and lie down.
This process has been repeated countless times, and Yan is already very familiar with it, so the efficiency is very high.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, except for the Dusky Star Spiritual Tree, all the spiritual herbs and elixirs were dug out intact and stored in jade boxes.
The seeds of the spiritual herbs and elixirs were also placed in the small wooden house on the left, stored in labeled wooden boxes, and arranged meticulously.
Taking one last look at the void and darkness outside the barrier, Liu Yu's consciousness covered dozens of jade boxes, and he conveyed the idea in his heart.
After a moment of spinning, his soul returned to his physical body, and jade boxes were scattered around his physical body.
With her eyelashes trembling, Liu Yu opened her eyes, moved her body for a while, and then walked to the alchemy room carrying the jade box containing the elixir.
"Rumble"
Under the control of the token, the stone door of the alchemy room slowly rose, making bursts of sounds.
Liu Yu walked into the room, opened the jade boxes one by one, and placed them neatly.
Then he touched the storage bag with his left hand and took out a dark yellow alchemy furnace the size of a bowl.
It is the Xuanhuang Cauldron specially used for alchemy!
Of course, it can also be used as an offensive or defensive weapon, but its power is hard to describe.
"Bang"
The black and yellow cauldron that was injected with mana quickly grew larger and heavier. Under the control of the weapon control technique, it landed in the area where the alchemy furnace was placed, making a dull sound.
Everything is ready!
Seeing this, Liu Yu nodded slightly and sat on the futon.
He turned his palm over, and a light red flame emerged from his palm, burning and beating slowly, causing the surrounding temperature to rise rapidly.
It’s the foundation-building true fire!
Liu Yu moved his palm, and the light red foundation-building true fire floated forward and landed at the "Fire Gate" below the Xuanhuang Cauldron.
Then he pinched the magic weapon in his hand, and the foundation-building true fire suddenly rose, and he began to warm up the alchemy furnace.
Soon after, the fire door of the Xuanhuang Cauldron turned reddish, the alchemy furnace became extremely hot, and the preheating was completed.
"That's almost it."
This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind and he immediately took action.
As he thought in his mind, the lid of the Xuanhuang Cauldron rose about a foot.
At the same time, with a slight movement of his fingers, the main medicine, red blood ginseng, flew out of the jade box and fell into the cauldron.
When the red blood ginseng fell into the cauldron, the lid of the cauldron fell silently.
At this time, Liu Yu's magic technique changed again. Based on his past experience, he slightly lowered the temperature of the foundation-building true fire and controlled it within a suitable range.
Then, he started the first step, refining red blood ginseng.
After refining the elixir thousands of times, this step is already well understood.
Under the observation of powerful spiritual consciousness, each step can be controlled accurately, and basically there will be no mistakes.
Liu Yu's heart is as calm as water, like a machine without emotions, calmly controlling every step.
In the cauldron, within a short while, the red blood ginseng had been initially refined and turned into a ball of red liquid.
It's just that this red is not pure. If you look carefully, you can still find some gray and black variegations.
This is because the impurities have not yet been separated.
With his spiritual consciousness having a clear view of the situation in the cauldron, Liu Yu cast several spells on the black and yellow cauldron and began to remove its impurities and purify its essence.
Time passed slowly, and after about a quarter of an hour, a faint scent of herbal medicine suddenly filled the alchemy room.
I saw that inside the Xuanhuang Cauldron, there were now two masses of liquid, one red and one gray, and they were clearly distinct.
It is the red liquid that exudes the fragrance of herbs.
The other group of gray-brown liquid is a substance that is not used in refining Chiyuan Dan, and is an "impurity" in the general sense.
After the impurities were separated, the color of the red liquid became much purer and turned into a bright red.
At this time, Liu Yu's method changed, and he controlled the lid of the black and yellow cauldron to rise, causing the gray-brown impurities to fly out of the cauldron. He threw another elixir into the cauldron and began to repeat the previous steps.
As for the red blood ginseng essence, it was quietly suspended in a corner of the cauldron.
Wait for the other spiritual herbs and elixirs to be purified, then fuse the essence, and finally the elixir is condensed and opened.
Depending on the grade of the spiritual herb, the medicinal properties are different, the difficulty of refining is also different, and the purification time is also long or short.
Liu Yu methodically controlled the entire process, throwing a spiritual grass into the cauldron from time to time.
Nearly an hour passed, each step was completed, and before you knew it, it was the final moment.
The room gradually became filled with a scent of red pepper, which turned from slight to strong.
Liu Yu waited quietly, waiting for the right time.
This step is related to the success or failure of the entire alchemy. If it is too late, the elixir will turn into coke and all the spiritual herbs will be wasted.
If it is done too early, it will also result in the elixir not being condensed enough and its potency leaking out, which is almost equal to the failure of elixir refining.
As time goes by, the medicinal aroma in the room gradually becomes stronger.
"That's it now."
Relying on countless intuitions about alchemy, Liu Yu's eyes flashed and he made a judgment.
Under his control, the lid of the cauldron rose, and twelve round objects flew out.
If you look closely, you can see that there are seven dark red pills and five black charcoal pills.
According to the order of condensing pills, the best time for each pill to be released is also different, which resulted in the current situation.
"Is this the Chi Yuan Dan?"
Liu Yu reached out and pinched a steaming elixir, looked at it carefully, then scraped off some crumbs and put it in his mouth to taste.
Finally, it was confirmed that he had succeeded in refining it for the first time. Although he only produced seven pills, it was still a "good start".
If you think about it carefully, you are right. Chiyuan Dan is only a rare high-quality elixir for monks who practice fire-attribute skills.
But in fact, the difficulty of refining is similar to other second-level mid-grade elixirs.
And the success rate of refining the second-level mid-grade Yuan Yang Dan by myself is close to 40%, so it is not surprising that he has such a good start.
Even if there is an element of luck, it's definitely not much. It's more about having enough attainments and things will fall into place naturally.
"Unknowingly, has my alchemy attainment reached this point?"
Liu Yu murmured to himself, feeling a sense of complacency unconsciously.
From ancient times to the present, the world of immortality cultivation has clearly divided the levels of alchemists.
Those who can refine three first-level elixirs and maintain a success rate of more than 30% can be regarded as a first-level alchemist, also known as a formal alchemist.
As for those who can only refine one or two first-level elixirs, or whose success rate is less than 30%, they cannot be regarded as formal alchemists, but can only be regarded as "alchemy apprentices."
Only those who can refine three second-level elixirs with a success rate of more than 30% can be called a second-level alchemist, also known as a senior alchemist.
In the same way, only those who can refine third-level elixirs and maintain a success rate of more than 30% are considered third-level alchemists and are honored as "alchemy masters."
The status of the alchemy master is even higher than that of many golden elixir monks in the world of immortality where resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
There are also fourth-level "alchemy masters", "alchemy kings", "alchemy saints", etc.
But they are all too far away, so let’s not mention them for now.
