In the quiet room, Lu Zhong slowly finished his work.
With a pinch of his fingers, he shot out a spell in front of him.
The spirit gathering array that was originally buzzing and constantly converting the spiritual energy in the spirit stones stopped. This array could assist cultivation and speed up the growth rate of cultivation, but it was directly proportional to the consumption rate of the spirit stones, so he did not dare to keep doing it.
Leave it open, otherwise all the spiritual stones earned from Lintao Pavilion will be lost.
Lu Zhong's eyes fell on the large and small jade bottles scattered on the ground, and Lu Zhong felt quite helpless.
In recent days, he has tried to take many elixirs, all of which were produced in Changchun Immortal City's elixir shop and suitable for monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
achieve satisfactory results.
It's not as slow as a turtle crawling, after all, the Jade Vein Technique is still effective.
But...he didn't know how to describe it.
Lu Zhong had communicated with his colleagues in Dongbulu a while ago and learned that it is almost a common phenomenon for foundation-building monks to make slow progress in their cultivation. Many of them have been stagnant in their cultivation for decades without making any progress.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will stop here in this life.
Everyone discussed this phenomenon.
The result of the discussion was that there was too much true energy that needed to be refined.
The sea of true essence is no joke!
From a small puddle in the early stage of foundation building to the sea of true essence in the fake elixir realm, the increase in the total amount of true essence is no less than the increase in the total amount of spiritual power in the Qi refining period, and because the quality of true essence is much higher than that of spiritual energy,
Due to the lack of strength, the speed of condensation of true energy is slow. Even if a large amount of spiritual elixir resources are invested, the rapid improvement of cultivation during the Qi refining period cannot be reproduced.
Thinking back to this, Lu Zhong guessed that his slow progress in cultivation was not only due to the above reasons, but also because he practiced the Four Spiritual Skills in the past, which made the total amount of true energy in his Dantian initially higher than that of the same level.
"Oh, what a happy trouble!"
He did not expect that the total amount of true energy four times that of ordinary monks would make him invincible in the fight, but at the same time, it would also lead to slow progress in cultivation.
"Fortunately, there is good fortune spirit liquid!" Lu Zhong said expectantly.
Since Li Qionghua can use this secret method to achieve a baby-making speed that exceeds the qualifications of the Tianling Root, then the spirit liquid of creation may have other benefits. If he takes a large amount of this spirit liquid, he may also be able to greatly increase his cultivation speed.
It's good to have a baby quickly, as long as you can make steady progress.
Sweeping his sleeves, he put away the bottles and cans.
Then I went out to the front yard, where there was an alchemy room.
Under Xia He's guidance, the maids were simply preheating the alchemy furnace, adding firewood and sweeping away the ashes, and they were all so busy that their feet did not touch the floor.
At this moment, when they saw Lu Zhong coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted according to their dignity.
Looking across the bronze alchemy furnace, Lu Zhong looked at Xia He and asked, "How is the preheating of the alchemy furnace going?"
"Sir, the furnace temperature has reached the temperature you ordered." Xia He said, inadvertently leaning forward a little, and the things in his collar almost slipped out, as if hoping to attract Lu Zhong's attention.
If you didn't come here, you wouldn't know that the Lintao Pavilion Master in front of you must have a net worth no less than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk.
You can tell from the fact that the lady started eating beauty pills as if she were eating jelly beans. She was so jealous that she couldn't help but have the idea of becoming a concubine.
Even if it doesn't work, you can still take a step back and become an alchemy boy and learn one or two skills of alchemy.
This way, you can pay off your debt quickly when you go out later.
Lu Zhong turned a blind eye to this, he didn't have the habit of playing widow.
Although Xia He's body is indeed attractive.
With an expressionless face, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can exit."
"Yes, sir." Xia He was disappointed, nodded and exited.
After the other party left, Lu Zhong reached out and used the object control technique to take out the firewood and ashes from the furnace. Then he opened his mouth and spit it out, and a ball of golden spiritual flame appeared in his hand.
It is a forging of spiritual fire. This spiritual fire can be used in elixir making.
The firepower is not strong, not even comparable to the spiritual flames catalyzed by spiritual firewood, but the advantage is that the flame is pure in nature. For a novice like him in alchemy, it can extremely well avoid interference in alchemy caused by impure flames.
With a flick of the finger, the forging spirit fire fell into the furnace.
After another spell, the furnace door slowly closed.
Lu Zhong is preparing to practice purifying elixirs.
I have been studying alchemy with Master Dongbu for almost a year now, and he also has a clear understanding of the alchemy process.
A simple overview of the alchemy process can be divided into three stages: processing and purification, fusion and transformation, and spiritual infusion to separate the elixir. Things like preheating the alchemy furnace and preparing spiritual materials are all preliminary work.
Regarding the processing of elixirs, it basically depends on memory. It is not difficult for monks to do this. They only need to write down the classics provided by Dongbulu, and then practice it, and they can easily master it.
When it comes to processing and purification, the difficult part is purification.
This step is extremely important and directly affects the final rate of elixir formation. If the elixir purification step is not done well, it may even directly lead to the failure of the elixir. It is one of the basic skills of an alchemist.
I took a handful of green rice and threw it into the alchemy furnace without even looking at it.
The bronze alchemy furnace in front of Lu Zhong has a crude structure. The place where the fire is burned is called the furnace, and the place where the elixir is put is the alchemy chamber. There is only one alchemy chamber, which can only refine one kind of spiritual material at the same time, and there is no way to control the size of the firepower.
There are also no auxiliary magic arrays, and others such as the "spirit-guiding array" and "spirit-gathering array" that provide energy for the alchemy furnace.
It's not that he wants to embarrass himself, it's just to build a solid foundation.
When you become more proficient in the future, it won't be too late to buy a better furnace. Even for the time-consuming processing and purification, you can also ask a dedicated alchemy boy to take care of it. You only need to complete the most important fusion and transformation process.
Refining alchemy during the foundation building phase will be much simpler than during the Qi refining phase, because spiritual consciousness can interfere with reality.
The purification process can be performed carefully without introducing foreign impurities.
Lu Zhong once observed monks refining alchemy in the Qi refining period. Without the assistance of spiritual consciousness, they basically had to rely on object control. The purification of spiritual materials was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Now it also consumes spiritual energy, so the difficulty of refining alchemy will naturally increase greatly.
, far less easy than a foundation-building monk.
After a while, a drop of Qinghe Spiritual Dew was purified.
The color is slightly mottled, indicating that it contains a lot of impurities.
Without looking at it, he threw it to the side of the water tank. He took another handful of green rice and continued to purify it.
Drop by drop of spiritual dew was purified.
Continuously summarize experiences and lessons, and refer to the personal experience taught by Dongbu Zhenren and the other party's demonstration process to correct your own purification techniques.
Gradually, the purity of the spiritual dew began to slowly increase.
The sun rises and sets again, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhong consumed thousands of kilograms of green henling rice and finally purified a large vat of green henling dew.
After taking a sip, I found that the spirit energy contained in the spirit dew was rich and the taste was surprisingly good.
"If you add ingredients, maybe it can be made into tea..."
