The first thing Chen Xuan did was to borrow classics.
Although the Qingyang Sect is not as good as those top sects, the library in the sect also has tens of thousands of books, divided into categories, recording sects in the mountains and seas, spells, spiritual beasts, demons, official and unofficial history, anecdotes and strange things... all kinds of popular science books
.
Chen Xuan borrowed classics, mainly books about martial arts, especially those related to martial arts and elixir formation.
Of course, Qingyang Sect is just a southwestern sect, and there is no way that there are secrets of martial arts cultivation and elixir formation in the library.
But Chen Xuan could still find book records about the realm of martial arts cultivation, but they were not very detailed.
In addition, you should also borrow popular science books about Xuanmen monks, witch cultivators, sword cultivators, etc., so as not to go to "Huan Mist Lei Ze" for training and face talented monks from other sects without even knowing what spells they use.
He borrowed more than a dozen classics and brought them back to the medicine garden. In the next few days, besides practicing, Chen Xuan quickly read these classics.
Through the popular science books on the realm of martial arts, Chen Xuan learned that monks of different cultivation systems produce different golden elixirs.
It can be said that the hundreds of millions of monks in the Shanhai Realm all follow the Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, return to void, combination of Tao, tribulation, and earth immortal system created by Tao Zun.
However, the golden elixir condensed by the monks is also different according to their own physical constitution and practice methods.
For example, the golden elixir formed by the most popular sword cultivator in the past five thousand years is actually a "sword pill". In addition to returning it seven times and nine times like ordinary monks, integrating body and soul to condense the elixir, sword cultivators also have to
Integrate your own sword energy and self-enlightened sword intention into your own "golden elixir".
Another example is that for witch cultivators, people with special physiques are born with "natal poison", and this "natal poison" is the basis for future elixir formation; while those with ordinary physiques need to find the poison that suits them as "natal poison", so what "natal poison" should they choose?
"Gu" will have a great influence on the future formation of elixirs and even the transformation of Yuan Ying into gods.
Of course, in addition to witchcraft, there is another way of practicing witchcraft, which is spiritual witchcraft. I won’t go into details here.
Taoist monks use talismans to form elixirs, which is also a unique method of forming elixirs. They refine it themselves or obtain a powerful talisman by chance, and use the talisman as the basis to condense the golden elixir. In the future, this talisman will be related to the monk's cultivation method and
means of attack.
In Biyun Sect, the famous Taoist sect in the southwest, the monks in the sect used talismans to form elixirs.
In addition, there are demon monks who form elixirs with inner demons, ghost monks who form elixirs with the energy of nine ghosts, Buddhist monks who form elixirs with relics, Confucian monks who read thousands of books and form elixirs with jade volumes, etc... Back to the martial arts form
When the elixir came up, Chen Xuan didn't know it until he looked at it. Only after looking at it did he realize that there are many things to pay attention to in martial arts.
The training method of martial arts is from the outside to the inside, first training the skin, flesh, muscles and bones, then training the organs, blood and marrow, and finally training the acupoints.
According to popular science books on martial arts, there are 409 acupoints on the human body, of which 361 are useful for martial arts and 108 are important points.
For ordinary martial arts to form elixirs, all the acupoints except the 108 important acupoints are opened, so that the energy and vitality of these acupoints flow into the sea of qi and merge into the golden elixir.
However, this can only be condensed into low-grade golden elixir.
Aspiring martial arts cultivators can condense into a middle-grade golden elixir by opening up 72 of the 108 major acupuncture points that are relatively easy to practice through inhuman training.
As for the high-grade golden elixir, you must open up the remaining 36 most important acupoints before it can be condensed into a high-grade elixir. Once it is broken through, its power will be much stronger than that of monks of the same level, and it will naturally be transformed into powerful combat power.
Finally, there is the so-called perfect golden elixir.
If a martial artist wants to condense the perfect golden elixir, he must push his body beyond its limits and dig out the legendary secret caves in the human body.
The four limbs of the human body hide the "Four Extreme Secret Points" respectively, and the "Purple Mansion Secret Point" is hidden in the brain palace.
If he could get through these five secret points and form a perfect golden elixir, his combat power would even be comparable to that of a swordsman who had condensed a perfect golden elixir, and his defensive power would be far superior.
But in this era of declining martial arts, trying to condense a perfect golden elixir is almost a fantasy.
According to classic records, during the heyday of the Daxia Dynasty, the probability that a martial artist with pure Daxia royal blood could condense a perfect golden elixir was only one percent.
Not to mention that five thousand years later, after more than ten or even dozens of generations of Daxia bloodline martial arts cultivators, it would be great if they could condense a middle-to-high-grade golden elixir.
Qingyangmen's martial arts popular science books only record the basic knowledge of martial arts and pill formation, but there is no relevant record on how to open the acupoints or what the so-called secret acupoints are.
After reading it, Chen Xuan felt that he had gained a lot.
When he tried to form elixirs in China before, he never considered opening the acupoints and increasing the power of the elixir.
The more acupoints that are opened, the stronger the energy and vitality condensed in the golden elixir will be.
If he didn't read these popular science books and formed an elixir directly, he would only be able to form a low-grade golden elixir at best.
However, after reading popular science, Chen Xuan was able to open up all the acupoints except the 36 major acupuncture points by himself and form a middle-grade golden elixir even without a specific cultivation method.
Of course, Chen Xuan is far from satisfied with just forming a middle-grade golden elixir. The quality of the elixir will directly affect his subsequent practice. No matter what, he must try his best to condense the perfect golden elixir.
If you want to open up the 36 major acupoints and the five major secret acupoints, you can only find the cultivation method from the martial arts pill formation method.
The second thing Chen Xuan did was to go to Cliff City.
Although he can refine the Yuan Condensing Pill without any pressure, there is a high probability that he will be promoted to the Great Perfection or Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage after half a year. However, a Condensation Yuan Pill can only restore 20% of the mana to an entry-level monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. For someone with the Supreme Immortal
He will recover less when he is angry, so no matter how much he refines, it will be of no use.
Moreover, Chen Xuan discovered that if you take too much of the same elixir, the effect will gradually weaken if you take it again later.
He took more than a dozen Yuan Ning Dan last time, and then tried taking one, and found that the mana he recovered was indeed much less.
So Chen Xuan decided to go to Cliff City to buy the elixir to restore his mana. It would be better to make the elixir himself if he could buy the elixir.
After counting the contents of the storage bag, Chen Xuan set off for Cliff City alone.
After being tested by his disciples, his degree of freedom within the sect has improved a lot. When he goes out alone, he only needs to tell the deacon disciples.
After arriving at Cliff City, Chen Xuan went straight to the shop selling elixirs.
"Boss, do you sell any pills here that can be used by monks in the foundation-building stage to restore their mana or increase their combat power in a short period of time?"
Chen Xuan asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.
"Of course there is. I have three kinds of 'resurrection pills' of upper, middle and lower grades here. They can respectively restore 20% of the mana to monks who are in the foundation building stage, Xiaocheng and Dacheng. Which one do you want?"
The boss asked with a smile.
Chen Xuan was a little disappointed after hearing this: "Only 20% can be restored?
Is there anything that monks who have completed the Foundation Establishment Stage can use to recover 40 to 50% instantly?"
"Forty or five percent?
Little brother, are you thinking too much? If there is an elixir that can instantly restore 40 to 50% of the mana of a monk who has completed the Foundation Establishment Stage, it has been snatched up long ago. Will it be your turn?"
When the boss heard Chen Xuan speak such unprofessional words, he immediately regarded Chen Xuan as a poor and ignorant casual cultivator.
