I lost all my Qin and I was so depressed this time...
After half a year of intermittent training, Zhou Yi's cultivation has improved slightly, and he has reached the seventh level of the foundation building stage. If he can gain something when the beast tide comes, there will be no problem in entering the later stage of foundation building.
Therefore, Fang Buding and Zhang Wuji, who were unable to survive the disaster for the time being, replaced him and let Zhou Yi continue to stabilize his cultivation first. Only when the foundation is laid, Zhou Yi will not have any trouble in advancing his cultivation in the future. Moreover, Fang Buding and
Zhang Wuji's current level of cultivation is not as high as that of Zhou Yi, and there is no way to give him any advice in this regard. Sometimes they even have to rely on Zhou Yi's advice.
The most important thing is that both Fang Buding and Zhang Wuji knew that Zhou Yi was going to the Eight Regions of Zhongzhou. At that time, Venerable Douyan would not leave Donghuang. This means that Zhou Yi must travel to Zhongzhou alone and practice in the future.
If he has any doubts, he can only rely on him to solve them himself. Laying a good foundation at this time will definitely be very important for Zhou Yi's future.
Therefore, Zhou Yi is not hypocritical about the replacement of Fang Buding and Zhang Wuji. With the war approaching, Zhou Yi really needs an uninterrupted period of time to understand something, especially in terms of realm. Zhou Yi has already developed a feeling that he is about to break through the bottleneck.
, but it seemed as if something was missing, preventing him from taking that last step.
In the past half year, Zhou Yi was unable to practice meditation for a long time because he was responsible for supervising the cultivation of his disciples. Therefore, he spent most of his time on the study of alchemy. After half a year, Zhou Yi had gained a little bit about alchemy. Understand
Understand the difference between what cultivators call alchemy and medicine refining in the martial arts world.
To make elixirs, a cultivator must first know how to identify the properties of the medicine, and then there is the process of 'dividing the medicine', also known as 'extraction', which means the essence of the medicine is calcined out using the fire-attributed vitality, and then there is the 'combination of medicines'. The general idea is to extract various different ingredients.
The medicinal essences that come out are fused, and then the next step is to put the fused medicinal essence into the medicinal cauldron, and then the 'alchemy' can begin.
Calcining elixirs is a great test of the alchemist's alchemy experience, or in other words, it tests the alchemist's control over the heat. It is not surprising that even a very skilled alchemist will sometimes fail several batches of elixirs.
matter.
According to the words of Venerable Douyan, the most important thing in alchemy is flame. Because almost all elixirs are refined by various flames, having a strong enough and excellent flame can not only extract the essence of the herb to the maximum extent, but also refine it.
The effect of the prepared elixir will also be much stronger.
The second is spiritual consciousness. Spiritual consciousness is the second pair of eyes of a cultivator, also known as the 'eye of heaven'. Because it has a field of vision with no blind spots, it is most suitable for observing the changes in the elixir during the alchemy process. If you can grasp the extremely detailed
At this point, the alchemist's elixir-making rate will be much higher, which is also one of the necessary conditions for becoming an excellent alchemist.
Finally, and most importantly, in the industry of alchemists in the original world, all monks who can advance to the master level of alchemy are monks with the dual attributes of fire and wood. In other words, they have both the fire attribute and the wood attribute.
A monk with spiritual roots is one of the most basic thresholds for becoming a master of alchemy.
And Zhou Yi, who has the spiritual roots of water, fire and wood, has the potential to become a master of alchemy!
It's not just alchemy. Judging from the information Zhou Yi learned from Venerable Douyan, although those with fire-attribute spiritual roots are qualified to become weapon refiners. However, only those with water and fire dual skills can be qualified to enter the level of 'master'.
Only monks with special attributes can do it.
In other words, Zhou Yi not only has the potential to become a master of alchemy, but also has the potential to become a master of weapon refining. This is one of the reasons why Venerable Douyan values Zhou Yi so much. If Zhou Yi’s current attributes make everyone in the eight regions of Zhongzhou
If the sects know about it, he will definitely become the genius disciple that all the top sects compete for!
Of course, sometimes having too good qualifications is not necessarily a good thing, because there is never a shortage of people who are jealous of talents in the world, especially the top sects. If they can’t get some good things, they might rather
Even if you destroy it, other sects won’t be able to get it!
Therefore, Venerable Douyan warned Zhou Yi more than once not to let anyone test his spiritual roots again, because this would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for Zhou Yi, who has a heaven-defying spiritual root!
Zhou Yi naturally agreed with this point, so he did not want to be too greedy in terms of alchemy and weapon refining, but chose alchemy alone as an auxiliary profession. As for weapon refining, Zhou Yi felt that he would wait until he had enough strength to protect himself.
It's not too late to learn to refine weapons. After all, compared to cultivators, lifespan and time are almost the least valuable and least valuable things.
Although Zhou Yi already has a lot of experience in alchemy, most of it is just knowledge and theory. Although his storage ring contains the alchemy furnace and alchemy experience specially left for him by Venerable Douyan, there are even a lot of experience in alchemy.
The herbs needed to refine the primary elixir, but Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to refine the elixir. He felt that the experience he would gain from refining the elixir would be the most valuable when he had a complete understanding of the theoretical knowledge!
Now there is only a little more than a month before the beast wave, so Zhou Yi does not dare to go into retreat to break through the bottleneck, because according to Liang Shicheng's cultivation experience, the bottleneck in the foundation period is large or small, basically it only takes one retreat every three to five years
There is no way to get out. Although Zhou Yi, who has the assistance of the positive and negative Beidou Formation, may be different from ordinary monks, at the moment when the beast tide is coming, Zhou Yi is not willing to take risks.
Zhou Yi spent this month not so much in seclusion as in practicing some magic, and by the way started refining alchemy for the first time in his life!
After returning to Hunyuan Hall, Zhou Yi directly chose a quiet room and began to adjust his state. Refining alchemy is a very laborious task, especially when refining alchemy for the first time. If the energy and spirit are not adjusted to the best state,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to successfully refine the elixir.
Zhou Yi set a very high standard for his first alchemy, which was to refine Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, the highest grade among the first-order elixirs. The prescription of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan is still very precious in Donghuang. At least Zhou Yi
It's been so long since he's been in the Eastern Wasteland, and apart from the small Pei Yuan Dan left by Venerable Dou Yan for him to practice with, Zhou Yi has never seen any trace of this type of elixir anywhere else.
After understanding the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, Zhou Yi realized that the Xiao Qi-Returning Pill originally produced in the base was actually a super simplified version of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, or to put it more intuitively, the efficacy of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan was reduced by a dozen
After doubling, it will be the Xiao Hui Yuan Dan produced in the base. Of course, this does not mean that the Xiao Qi Hui Dan produced in the base is the diluted Xiao Pei Yuan Dan.
After Zhou Yi analyzed a Small Qi Recovery Pill, he already knew that the reason why the Small Qi Recovery Pill was so ineffective was because the base directly purified the Moon Spirit Grass and then calcined it at high temperature to turn it into a pill.
There are simply no other auxiliary materials used to maximize the effect of Moon Spirit Grass, and there is still a main ingredient missing.
There are two main medicines for the Small Qi-Reviving Pill, one is the Moon Spirit Grass that is used to refine the Small Qi-Reviving Pill, and the other is the Spirit-Binding Flower. The Moon Spirit Grass is a first-class herb, but the Soul-Bound Flower is a second-class herb.
The recipe of Peiyuan Dan is mainly made from Moon Spirit Grass and Spirit Binding Flower, supplemented by the extraction and refinement of three first-class medicinal materials.
There is no shortage of second-level herbs such as spirit-binding flowers in the Eastern Wasteland. The great rejuvenation pill is made from spirit-binding flowers. In the more than a month when Zhou Yi and Fatty Liang fled, they collected a lot of spirit-binding flowers. As for the spirit-binding flowers,
The auxiliary materials needed for refining Xiao Pei Yuan Dan can be found in any pharmacy in Qilin City.
After Zhou Yi classified and put the five herbs used to refine Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, he took out the moldy alchemy furnace that had been left in the storage ring, and activated the Yanmo Jiu Gang Jue to bring this set of techniques with him.
The flame 'Yangang Pearl' was released. The Yangang Pearl is not only an offensive and defensive weapon, but also an extremely rare flame.
Especially the red and purple Flame Gang Pearl released by Zhou Yi. This thing was condensed by Zhou Yi absorbing the Heavenly Tribulation when he was going through the tribulation. In terms of the level of the flame, it is even better than the one activated by the Yuanying Stage Venerable.
The six levels of true fire are even higher!
It was precisely because of his regard for the Yan Gang Pearl that Zhou Yicai had the courage to choose Xiao Pei Yuan Dan for his first alchemy. The level of flame activated by the alchemist had a great influence on the refined elixir, even in the alchemy process.
The quality of the flame used can directly affect the speed of elixir refining, the probability of elixir formation, and the quality of the elixir!
Therefore, Zhou Yi never worried about whether he could succeed in refining the elixir for the first time. What he cared about was only the yield rate of the first batch of elixirs and the quality of the elixirs.
After the Yan Gang Pearl was released, Zhou Yi immediately set up the alchemy furnace, then controlled the Yan Gang Pearl to move to the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and started to warm the furnace. When the temperature in the alchemy furnace reached a certain height, he raised his hand and
Put the Moon Spirit Grass into the alchemy furnace and start smelting to extract the essence of the herb.
During the alchemy process, the order of placing the herbs in the alchemy furnace must not be wrong. At least for a novice like Zhou Yi, he can't just grab a handful of herbs and throw them into the alchemy furnace without making mistakes.
As the Moon Spirit Grass was thrown into the alchemy furnace, Zhou Yi began to slowly increase the flame power of the Yan Gang Pearl. The flame power of the Yan Gang Pearl was too powerful. Although Zhou Yi had been very careful to control the flame temperature, it still failed due to the temperature being too high.
It was so high that it directly burned a piece of Moon Spirit Grass to waste.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't lose heart. He raised his hand and took another Moon Spirit Grass next to him, and then put it into the alchemy furnace again. This time Zhou Yi controlled the Yan Gang Pearl more carefully, almost
It is increasing the power of the flame bit by bit.
After about half a stick of incense, a piece of Moon Spirit Grass was finally refined into a ball of green jelly the size of a thumb. Zhou Yi continued to increase the flame and began to refine the impurities in the green jelly until the ball of green jelly became
When it became crystal green and only half the size of a thumb, he took a spirit-binding flower and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
Soul-binding flower is a second-level medicinal herb with a melting point much higher than that of Yueling flower. Therefore, Zhou Yi had to release his spiritual consciousness to wrap the successfully extracted Yueling grass, and began to continue to increase the flame temperature of the Yangang beads to dissolve them.
