The elixirs used by immortal cultivators are divided into several categories: spiritual elixirs, Taoist elixirs, and elixir elixirs. elixir elixirs can only be taken by monks who have become immortals. It may take thousands of years to refine a furnace of elixir elixirs.
Dao pills contain innate spiritual light. After taking them, you can understand the laws of heaven and earth. They are more precious than elixir pills. The pills taken by mortal cultivators are all spiritual pills.
Spiritual elixirs are divided into nine levels. Spiritual elixirs above the fifth level have been rare for hundreds of years. Every bottle appears will trigger a fight among the golden elixir monks. The sixth-level elixir is more likely to trigger a melee among super sects, which will sweep away several people.
The great chaos among monks in ten countries.
The higher the level of the elixir, the more difficult it is to refine, the more materials are required, and the more stringent the refining conditions are. Legend has it that it would take thousands of years for an immortal to refine a furnace of elixir.
The ancestor of the Zhang family inherited the mantle of casual cultivator and had the ability to refine elixirs. When he was alive, he was able to refine fourth-grade elixirs.
It's a pity that after the ancestor's death, the family has never trained a high-level alchemist.
Although Patriarch Chuyun has a higher level of cultivation, unfortunately he is not good at refining elixirs or weapons. His best skill is refining magic talismans.
Although the family did not have a magical artifact that could pass on his mantle, he also left three fourth-level spiritual talismans to the family.
Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, the family's development has not been smooth, and they have repeatedly encountered powerful enemies. Two of them have been used, and the remaining one has been left in the Patriarch's Pavilion to prepare for possible wars in the future.
Today, the highest-ranking alchemist in the family is Jiubo Zhang Mengquan, who is only a second-level high-level alchemist. He can skillfully refine more than a dozen kinds of elixirs, and his best one is the second-level mid-level Golden Bud Pill.
Jinyadan is made from Huangyacao as the main medicine, Jinyuzhi and Zhongyuan Shen as two first-level elixirs as auxiliary medicines. It is suitable for monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training. It can enhance the monks' magic power and can also cooperate with breaking obstacles.
Dan breaks through the bottleneck.
The refining process of Golden Bud Pill is much more difficult than that of ordinary first-level elixirs. Although ordinary first-level elixirs are rich in spiritual energy, they can also be refined with ordinary fire.
The Golden Bud Pill is a second-level elixir. Ordinary fire can no longer refine elixirs, so only spiritual fire can be used to refine elixirs.
With Zhang Mengquan and seven or eight other people joining in, the progress of picking yellow bud grass was several times faster. In less than one morning, everyone had finished picking the spiritual grass.
The alchemist Zhang Mengquan didn't have time to rest, so he immediately took out a jade box from his body. He applied spiritual power to the jade box. An idea flashed on the jade box, and a brass-colored alchemy furnace over one foot high appeared in the open space.
This jade box is also a second-level high-grade storage magic weapon. This type of storage magic weapon is refined with empty akashi. The space inside the second-level top-grade storage jade box is already three feet square, which is enough to store a lot of things.
Already.
Storage magic weapons are more precious than ordinary magic weapons, and their prices in the market are also higher.
A second-grade high-quality jade storage box like Zhang Mengquan's is worth at least four to five hundred spirit stones.
There are over a hundred monks in the Zhang family, but only six elders have storage magic weapons on their bodies.
Even a wealthy monk like Zhang Zhixuan cannot afford a second-grade low-grade jade storage box with a storage space of only one foot square.
Zhang Mengquan recuperated his inner energy, first used a paper charm to light the Xuanyang Wood, then took a bucket of well water from the spiritual well, slowly put the elixir into the alchemy furnace in order, holding the alchemy method in his hand,
Strictly control the temperature of the spiritual fire.
After the elixir was completely dissolved and the fragrance could be smelled, he took out a yellow bud grass from the sandalwood box. His face gradually became serious and no longer relaxed.
After the elixir completely melted into a liquid state, he added a trace of spiritual water, and then fired a series of spells.
Soon, five elixirs were successfully condensed in the cauldron, and the remaining elixir liquid evaporated, releasing bursts of white steam from the top cover, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the liquid evaporated completely, and five elixirs flew out of the alchemy furnace from the mouth, shooting towards everyone around them.
When the elixir is released, it must not be contaminated with the acquired aura, and a special elixir collection method is required to isolate the air.
It is best to use gold and jade objects when collecting the elixir to prevent the elixir from being contaminated with tackiness.
Zhang Mengquan quickly took out a jade bottle and performed the elixir collection method.
Among the five elixirs, two elixirs turned into a stream of pure spiritual energy before they flew out of the elixir furnace and scattered on the ground. The remaining three elixirs flew toward the jade bottle. The first two elixirs were all golden, and the one behind them was golden.
The grain has a hint of gray air.
Zhang Mengquan put the first two pills into the jade bottle and pinched the back one with his hands. The golden elixir had a hint of gray dots in it.
This elixir has become tainted with vulgarity and has become a useless elixir. It is toxic and can no longer be taken.
Zhang Mengquan poured out an elixir from a jade bottle. The elixir was golden in color, about the size of a baby's thumb, exuding a light golden luster, and had a compelling aroma.
Monks usually make ten pills in a furnace. Some special alchemy masters can use special pill techniques to make twelve pills from the materials that were originally used to make ten pills. The efficacy of the pills will not be reduced.
.
But low-level alchemists like Zhang Mengquan are still far from being able to do this.
"This is the first furnace of elixirs today. The smoke of the alchemy furnace is still relatively strong, and the number of elixirs produced is also smaller. This furnace should be regarded as a warming alchemy furnace." Zhang Mengquan said a few words to himself.
, rested for half a quarter of an hour, and continued to make alchemy.
It takes about a quarter of an hour to refine a furnace of Jinyadan, and then the furnace must be cleaned to completely remove impurities.
In about an hour, four furnaces of Golden Bud Pills can be refined.
Starting at noon, Zhang Mengquan continuously refined twenty-four furnaces of elixirs, and did not stop refining elixirs until his magic power was exhausted.
When he was refining the alchemy, he would explain it from time to time, and he did not shy away from others learning the alchemy.
Seeing that everyone couldn't understand, he had to demonstrate it himself.
If you want to learn the alchemy profession, you need to spend a lot of resources. Even a cultivating family like the Zhang family can only support three or four monks to learn alchemy.
These three or four alchemy apprentices can often only successfully train one or two alchemists.
Therefore, most old alchemists have a sense of worry and hope that the younger generations of monks in their families can learn the art of alchemy and pass on their legacy.
If a family does not have its own alchemist, the supply of elixirs is almost entirely in the hands of others. If other alchemists are causing trouble with the elixirs, they may face greater trouble.
Three thousand years ago, there was a casual alchemist who was so talented that he was able to refine sixth-level high-grade elixirs.
This person is a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and is famous in the world of immortality for his superb alchemy skills.
Even many great monks in the Nascent Soul Stage rely on him to refine spiritual elixirs.
Such a great monk who was respected by everyone actually mixed a demon into the elixir. Any monk who took the elixir refined by him would be contaminated by his demonic thoughts and become a demon controlled by him.
Overnight, thirteen Nascent Soul monks and hundreds of high-level Jindan monks were controlled by him, causing the famous Alchemy Demon Rebellion in the world of immortality.
In this great chaos that spanned a hundred years, nineteen Nascent Soul monks and hundreds of Golden Elixir monks perished.
They were so frightened that for more than a thousand years, most monks did not dare to take the elixir refined by others.
After more than a thousand years of joint management by dozens of major sects, especially the five major alchemy sects, Changqing Sect, Yaowangshan, Qingdan Pavilion, Xuandan Sect, and Danfa Sect, the Dan Alliance was formed.
Only then did the world of immortality gradually regain its trust in alchemists and began to purchase spiritual elixirs from outside.
Even if the monks from the five major sects jointly provide insurance, most monks still will not take elixirs of unknown origin.
The Zhang family's customers in Fangshi are also local casual cultivators who have practiced for many years, and they know each other well.
Relying on the credit that has been rooted in Lushan for hundreds of years, the refined elixir can be exchanged for various resources for cultivating immortality.
