Chapter two hundred and twenty eight Jindan eighth
It has been two hundred and seventy-eight years since I came down from the mountain to learn alchemy at the age of sixteen.
After nearly three hundred years of hard study, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills have become quite extraordinary.
His alchemy inheritance mainly comes from the three sects of Qingxuan, Xuansu, and Tianyuan. In recent years, he has reached the point where he has integrated them all and become his own family.
After breaking through to the fifth-level mid-level alchemy master, sixty years have accumulated.
After sixty years of solid foundation and hard study, his alchemy skills have far surpassed those of his predecessors. No one from Qingxuan, Huanshui, or even Xuansu Sect can compare with him.
He has refined hundreds of fifth-level elixirs, and is more experienced than the average alchemist of the Nascent Soul Sect.
Refining a hundred furnaces of fifth-level elixir seems like nothing.
When Zhang Zhixuan was learning to be an alchemist, he could often refine more than a hundred furnaces of Golden Bud Pills in one go, thus accumulating a wealth of experience.
However, fifth-level elixirs are extremely precious. Refining one furnace requires at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones. Even Danyang Zongmo, the sixth-level alchemist, cannot often open a furnace to refine high-level elixirs.
Adding up hundreds of furnaces of fifth-level elixirs, the elixirs are worth at least several million. This price is not something that ordinary alchemists can afford.
Therefore, the higher the level of an alchemist, the narrower the path for upward development and the more difficult the path of cultivation.
It is precisely because of his rich experience that Zhang Zhixuan has the confidence to refine purple ginseng pill.
After all, Purple Ginseng Pill is a fifth-level high-grade elixir that assists monks in the late stage of the Golden Pill to break through. Its refining is far more difficult than ordinary.
Even if the Tianyuan Sect was at its peak, it would take one hundred and twenty years to refine Purple Shendan.
Although there are many fifth-level elixir recipes collected by Qingxuanzong, there are only two fifth-level high-grade elixir recipes.
Alchemy formulas above the fifth level are extremely rare on the market, and except for dilapidated family sects, they are rarely spread outside.
If the purple ginseng elixir cannot be refined this time, Zhang Zhixuan will have to wait three hundred years if he wants to break through to the fifth level of high-grade alchemy master. It will be three hundred years before the Jiangyun flower matures and has the conditions to refine the Jianggong elixir. Otherwise, it can only be done in advance.
Go down the mountain to look for opportunities to see if you can find new elixir recipes and refine new elixirs.
The underground caves of Lingjing Mountain have already opened fire eyes, and the Fire Stork furnace used by Zhang Zhixuan is also a fifth-level middle-grade pill furnace, which is enough for him to refine purple ginseng pills.
The foreign materials were all ready, Zhang Zhixuan did not hesitate at all, and made a decisive decision to start the alchemy furnace.
He stared at the fire stork furnace with bright eyes, and continued to shoot out the spiritual arts in his hand, and his spiritual consciousness carefully penetrated into the elixir.
In the blazing fire, the fire stork furnace rotated faster and faster in the air, and balls of liquid elixir circled rapidly in the cauldron furnace.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan tried his best to control it with his spiritual consciousness, he could only condense two elixirs.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the heat without any panic in his heart.
Even though he was refining the fifth-level elixir for the first time, his movements were still methodical and his confidence was extraordinary.
Seeing the aroma of medicine slowly emanating from the stork stove, Zhang Zhixuan could not care about anything else. He turned his palm over and a white chalcedony bottle appeared in his hand.
Zhang Zhixuan spit out a mouthful of elixir fire, causing the Fire Stork to vibrate slightly, and the lid of the furnace suddenly flew up.
A strong spiritual energy spurted out from the furnace mouth along with a wave of fire, and two spiritual lights fell into the chalcedony bottle one after another.
Although it was the first time to refine purple ginseng pill, Zhang Zhixuan's elixir success rate still reached 20%, and he successfully refined the elixir.
Miraculous elixirs of this level like Purple Ginseng Pill are very rare on the market and can be regarded as priceless treasures.
Even in a place like Huoshan City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it may take hundreds of years for the opportunity to appear.
Even if you use a high-grade spiritual stone for a fifth-level high-grade elixir, it is difficult to exchange it.
As for the valuation of the elixir, it is difficult to estimate. In order to refine these two elixirs, Zhang Zhixuan spent 200,000 spiritual stones just on medicinal materials.
Collecting the elixir also took five Zifu and sixteen foundation-building monks three years.
Even if someone comes up with twenty high-grade spiritual stones, Zhang Zhixuan will not exchange one purple ginseng pill with him.
Purple ginseng pill is so powerful that you can only take one when you have a breakthrough. If you want to take it a second time, you have to wait thirty years.
After taking six purple ginseng pills, you will develop serious drug resistance, and the effect of this elixir will be less than half.
The most critical point is that purple ginseng pill can only be stored for twelve years. Because the storage period is too short, the remaining purple ginseng pill cannot be left to Han Yan.
Qing Chan and Liu Guyan have reached the peak of their Golden Elixir stage and cannot use Purple Shen Dan at all.
The only ones who can use this thing are Zhang Zhixuan and Jin Patriarch.
Ancestor Jin is already seven hundred and eighty years old, and there are only twenty or thirty years left before the end of the golden elixir. Even if he can use this object to break through to the ninth level of the golden elixir, there is no chance of conceiving a baby.
Unless he is extremely lucky and the sect can find a high-level life-extending object that can extend his life for a period of sixty years, it is possible to cultivate to the edge of having a baby.
After making the purple ginseng pill, Zhang Zhixuan asked Patriarch Jin for his opinion.
Although the road was difficult, Patriarch Jin was still unwilling to give up the slightest chance, and exchanged the Purple Shendan in high spirits.
After making the purple ginseng pill, Zhang Zhixuan immediately chose to retreat and entrusted the power of the sect to Qing Chan.
After taking the purple ginseng pill, Zhang Zhixuan raced against time to refine the power of the elixir. His dantian was like a giant wave, and the abundant mana instantly filled the three major dantians.
Driven by Dantian, streams of mana seeped out and rushed to acupuncture points in all directions.
Waves of spiritual energy began to flow into the cave, and the spiritual energy on the mountain was even somewhat exhausted.
The well-informed Zifu and the foundation-building monks immediately noticed the abnormality, immediately stopped practicing, and gave up their spiritual energy to the ancestors of the sect to break through the realm.
In order to ensure Zhang Zhixuan's successful breakthrough, Qingchan also ordered the closure of 113 spiritual springs to completely restrain the spiritual energy of Lingjing Mountain.
Some information was blocked, and low-level monks who used Lingquan for retreat were in bad luck. They lost their abundant spiritual energy. Not only were they unable to break through, they also injured their Dantian and needed to rest for a period of time.
The worst seven or eight unlucky ones even had their true energy reversed and their Dantian shattered and their paths cut off.
When people sit at home, misfortune comes from the sky. If a monk has bad luck, his path will be ruined at best, or his soul will be destroyed at worst. The Yuanying monks of Tianyuan Sect caught up with the ancient monk war, and the entire sect was caught in a trap.
The soul is destroyed.
Qing Chan is in charge of the overall situation of the sect outside, and Han Yan is the only one who protects Zhang Zhixuan.
Seeing that the strength of the spiritual energy was slightly insufficient, Han Yan immediately dissolved nine high-grade spiritual stones, and a stream of pure spiritual energy instantly filled Zhang Zhixuan's eyes.
Zhang Zhixuan opened his mouth wide and sucked the spiritual energy into the Jianggong Qi Mansion like a whale sucking water. With this pure spiritual energy supplemented, Zhang Zhixuan broke through the bottleneck in one go and cultivated to the eighth level of the golden elixir.
Since he broke through the seventh level of the golden elixir, he spent sixteen years of hard training and with the help of the purple ginseng elixir, he was able to break through the first level.
After practicing to this point, Zhang Zhixuan is not too far away from the Nascent Soul Stage.
Shortly after Zhang Zhixuan's breakthrough, Patriarch Jin also successfully escaped from seclusion. With the help of the power of Purple Ginseng Pill, Patriarch Jin finally cultivated to the ninth level of the Golden Pill when his life span was about to expire.
