The journey of cultivation is inseparable from the assistance of elixirs.
But no matter who it is, it is impossible to always rely on elixirs for support in the process of cultivation. elixirs have the effect of improving skills, expanding meridians, and stimulating potential.
The sources of elixirs include cultivated ones and natural treasures.
There are countless monks in the world, but the rare resource of elixirs is not inexhaustible after all. Compared with the countless warrior monks, elixirs are always more than enough.
And there are even fewer elixirs made by refining elixirs.
If the essence of the elixir is extracted through techniques and refined into a elixir, its spiritual power can be increased by at least three to five times, and in some cases, it can even be increased by ten or a hundred times!
Everything depends on the method and magical power of the alchemist, as well as the quality of the elixir, the quality of the elixir, etc.
Therefore, in the world of cultivation, it is very common for warriors to absorb the essence of elixirs to promote their cultivation. And those who are qualified to take elixirs are almost only one in a hundred.
Without him, it's just because things like spiritual elixirs are too rare.
Even as powerful as the ten noble families in Yunluo City, each family's collection of elixirs only exceeds the number of fingers on two hands.
Spiritual elixirs can be cultivated, but elixirs need to be refined by alchemists.
Alchemists are a very cherished race, and good alchemy recipes and alchemy cauldrons are even rarer things.
There is a very classic summary in the cultivation world - it is easy to find a hundred kinds of elixirs, but it is difficult to find a single elixir.
Refining a spiritual elixir requires too many conditions.
However, the effect of a single elixir is sometimes greater than that of hundreds of elixirs.
It is impossible to take hundreds of elixirs in one go. Just imagine, if one hundred elixirs are added together, the powerful and scattered spiritual power is enough to crush the meridians of a warrior at once. That kind of impact is not something ordinary warriors can experience.
Tolerable.
The elixir is the essence of refined spiritual power. The spiritual power is condensed but not scattered, and the essence is not mixed. When it enters the body and is transformed, it can be said to be a gong ginseng. It has infinite power. As long as you don't take too much at once, it will cause no harm to the physical body.
Almost negligible.
Ren Cangqiong is very aware of his own situation. After this period of repeated stimulation, Dao Seed has entered a low ebb stage.
Without strong external stimulation, it is absolutely impossible to become active again for no reason. Therefore, to continue to achieve breakthroughs, external forces must be used.
Ren Cangqiong's idea was to focus on this elixir——
Foundation Building Pill!
There are at least thousands of foundation-building pill prescriptions in the world. Different elixir compositions and different techniques can be used to refine many different foundation-building pills.
But ultimately, the effect is the same.
Foundation Building Pill, as the name suggests, is the elixir taken during the foundation building period of martial arts.
This elixir can improve the skills and promote breakthroughs for warriors in the foundation-building stage of martial arts.
To put it bluntly, it is external stimulation.
To refine this foundation-building pill, the minimum requirement is to use an elixir of the third level of the Primary Spirit as the main material, and then use elixirs with four different properties and a slightly lower level as auxiliary materials.
It is made through the condensation of medicine and the repeated tempering in the alchemy cauldron.
It can be said that the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Demon Reverse Pill are both basic elixirs. If the Demon Reverse Pill is a self-defense weapon specifically targeted at the demon clan, then the Foundation Establishment Pill is the best choice for improving one's own strength.
As for who is better and who is worse, it all depends on the needs of the parties involved.
Overall, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is much more expensive than the Demon-Reverse Pill.
Because the materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill are at least ten times more expensive than the Demon Reverse Pill. The price of a Foundation Establishment Pill is at least ten times more than the Demon Reverse Pill!
After all, the minimum requirement for the main material of the Foundation Building Pill is the third-level elixir of the First Spirit. The materials are very difficult to collect.
It's not that many families don't have the ability to collect these elixirs, nor do they have alchemists. But they almost never try to refine the foundation-building pills.
Why?
Because there is no elixir recipe, no suitable elixir cauldron, and no capital to try.
If you refine it rashly, you will gain nothing except consuming materials.
You must know that the materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill are not as simple as the Demon-Reverse Pill. Except for the Demon-Reverse Pill, which is slightly more valuable, everything else is easy to say.
The output of demon pills is very large and there is a lot of market circulation.
But the materials for the Foundation Building Pill are all elixirs. Regardless of the main ingredients or auxiliary ingredients, they are all spiritual things. When you are not sure of the success of the pill, if you try it rashly, no matter how big your family fortune is, you can't afford it.
After all, when it comes to elixir refining and trying to find an effective elixir recipe, it is impossible to succeed without thousands of trials.
And thousands of experiments are enough to consume a large family to collapse.
Ren Cangqiong has no such concerns.
The legacy left by Senior Wan Yaozun is really too rich. The Dan Cauldron includes the Dragon and Tiger Cauldron, which is a first-rate good equipment for refining Foundation Establishment Dan, a type of elixir in the Foundation Establishment stage.
As for elixir recipes, Wan Yaozun has left at least a dozen kinds of elixir recipes for Foundation Establishment Pills, and they are all very classic elixir recipes. They are easy to make and have excellent elixir effects. It can be said that Wan Yaozun has collected them.
The elixirs are all prepared through practice and are far superior to the elixirs of the same level. Otherwise, how can you enter the Dharma Eyes of Wan Yao Zun?
For Ren Cangqiong, the only problem is the skill of refining alchemy and the control of fire.
There is no doubt that the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill is much more difficult than the Demon Defying Pill. Both the requirements for skills and the requirements for energy and spirit are very strict.
If Ren Cangqiong hadn't entered the Qi training period, he wouldn't have dared to think about it.
However, after entering the Qi training period, he was qualified to try!
Time waits for no one. After Ren Cangqiong came up with this idea, he began to collect materials. The last time he purchased the materials for the Demon Reverse Pill, Ren Qingshuang allocated a total of 300,000 taels to him. He spent half of it and still had half left. Add to that
Last time, the Beigong family gave away three thousand taels of gold.
The total amount of these funds is about two hundred thousand taels.
It must be said that this is a huge sum of money. But when used to purchase elixirs, the purchasing power of this money is relatively meager.
Two hundred thousand taels allows Ren Cangqiong to purchase the materials for dozens of demon-defying pills.
But the material of the Foundation Establishment Pill is only five pills.
The materials for these five foundation-building pills must be of a lower level than the main materials. You can only choose the lowest configuration of the third level of the primary spirit.
If you want to configure the fourth level of Chuling, then I'm sorry, but the materials for five foundation-building pills can only be reduced to one. Just this one, it is still tight, and may not be sufficient.
Of course, Ren Cangqiong would not pretend to be a fat person. It was not easy to buy Chuling's fourth-level elixir in the market. He did not even have extravagant hopes.
Even the third-level elixir of Chu Ling has to be purchased separately. If you buy five elixirs of the third level of Chu Ling in a certain store, it will undoubtedly be very dazzling.
Ren Cangqiong separated several points and collected all these elixirs.
Refining the Foundation-Building Pill is no better than the Demon-Resisting Pill, and requires a lot of energy, energy, and spirit. Ren Cangqiong deliberately reduced some practice exercises during the day to maintain enough energy, energy, and spirit.
Before breaking through to the seventh level of martial arts foundation building, Ren Cangqiong could refine three to four of the demon-defying pills in one night.
Now, after the breakthrough, it should be possible to refine six to eight anti-demon pills.
But this Foundation Establishment Pill can be refined at most in one night! Even this one needs to save energy and strength, master the heat, when to use force, and when to take it slow. After all, it needs to be carefully controlled.
precise.
Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, he would not even be able to support the success of a Foundation Building Pill.
After all, although he is in the Qi training stage, he has just crossed the threshold of the Qi training stage, and his foundation is not yet solid. Without the support of the Dao seeds, he would not even have the qualifications to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
Adventure, I have to say, this is an adventure.
But Ren Cangqiong doesn't care about such an adventure.
Even if it fails, it will be a financial loss and physical loss, which is not surprising.
After his rebirth, Ren Cangqiong didn't need to worry too much about money. He had too many ways to make money.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he is willing to take action on those anti-demon pills, the value of eighteen low-grade anti-demon pills should be more than 600,000 taels of silver.
If another 600,000 taels of silver are invested in reproduction, it will not be a problem to increase it tenfold in a short period of time.
Therefore, Ren Cangqiong is not short of money!
What he lacks is time, time is tight. Whether it is the Yunluo event a few months later or the demon clan storm a few years later, it is whipping him like a whip all the time.
It has to be said that Ren Cangqiong is indeed a layman when it comes to alchemy.
Three consecutive nights and three attempts, Ren Cangqiong's energy and spirit supported him until the last moment, but when the Foundation Establishment Pill was released, the result was almost the same - failure.
Although the elixir itself retains a lot of spiritual power, it is obviously still far away from the real foundation-building pill.
The only good thing is that every time I practice, there is an obvious trend of progress.
There is a first-class alchemy cauldron and a first-class elixir recipe, but he has refined a spiritual elixir that is not even third-rate. Ren Cangqiong is really ashamed.
Of course, he knew that this was not his fault. After all, the transition from a complete layman to an alchemist was too big.
These failures are actually reasonable.
After failing three times in a row, Ren Cangqiong's mentality was not unbalanced. Instead, he stopped and continued reading the alchemy experience left by Master Wan Yao.
There is a sentence in "The Lord of All Medicines" that touched Ren Cangqiong's nerves - Refining alchemy means enlightenment, and requires a normal mind.
What is a normal mind? Don’t be arrogant when you win, and don’t be discouraged when you lose!
These words are like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, directly illuminating the path that Ren Qiangqiong is exploring. A normal heart!
There is no doubt that this is what Ren Cangqiong lacks the most.
Yunluo grand gathering, monster clan storm...
These mountain-like pressures are burdened on the body, making Ren Qiangqiong always carry heavy pressure on his back. How can he maintain a normal mind when he is carrying a heavy burden?
The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not as rough as the Demon Reverse Pill. Every detail requires a very perfect rhythm. A little faster or a little slower may affect the overall situation!
"Perhaps, this closed-door approach can only make me feel more depressed." Ren Cangqiong decided to put down his books and go out for a walk to find inspiration.
Wan Yao Zun mentioned that a truly powerful alchemist has a mind as calm as water and spotless. Even if he is walking through the bustling city, there is an alchemy cauldron standing majestically in his heart, and his heart is unmoved.
Of course Ren Cangqiong cannot reach this level, but he must work hard in this direction.
The lively streets were filled with people. As Ren Cangqiong was walking, suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and a rush of horse hooves came from behind. The rider ran quickly while shouting: "The city lord is giving an urgent notice. All people outside are here."
, go home quickly, close the door tightly, and do not go out without the city lord's announcement! Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences! Say it again..."
This is not the first time this kind of official emergency notice has appeared in Yunluo City.
Ren Cangqiong's heart froze, and an uneasy thought suddenly came to his mind - martial law!
There are usually only two situations when Yunluo City is under martial law. First, the superior officer inspects it. Second, demonized puppets appear in the city!
Generally speaking, the first possibility only occurs once in a hundred years. Even if it does happen, the announcement will be made in advance and it will not be so urgent.
So, the only explanation for this martial law is the emergence of demonized puppets.
Once the demonized puppet appears, it is like a scourge with endless poison. If you don't kill them all, it means endless poison!
