With Zhang Zhixuan teaching the Qi Accumulating Technique on a large scale in the sect, more than 40 monks in the Ziyang Sect have refined the innate purple energy.
These more than forty people were all trained as alchemists by Zhang Zhixuan. With their assistance, there was no need for Zhang Zhixuan, Qing Chan and other Nascent Soul monks to refine the Ziyang Pill.
In recent years, the sect's Ziyang Pill production has increased significantly, and the number has tripled that of Foundation Establishment Pills. Almost half of the monks who take Ziyang Pills to build Foundations every year have grown.
The cost of a Ziyang Pill is only three hundred spirit stones, which is far lower than the Foundation Establishment Pill. If this continues, the Ziyang Sect can save countless costs, and its future is extraordinary.
However, a large number of monks in the sect have breathed in the innate purple energy, which has begun to affect the cultivation of Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan.
After all, the amount of innate purple energy near Lingjing Mountain is limited. Once a Nascent Soul master like Zhang Zhixuan Qingchan practices Qi Accumulation Technique, he can almost sweep away the innate purple energy within a radius of three thousand miles.
The two of them live in the same cave, which makes it a little inconvenient for them to practice.
In recent years, Liu Lingjun and Liu Guyan have basically been practicing at the Goddess Peak, while Li Lingxiu is at Tao Kingdom's Jueying Mountain. The five Nascent Soul monks from the sect who practice the Huangting Taoist Scripture have already been scattered in several sixth-level spiritual mountains.
After Zhang Zhixuan and his wife returned to the sect this time, they decided to upgrade the level of Lingjing Mountain to the sixth level of high-grade, and then moved a large number of low-level monks who practiced the Qi Accumulation Technique to Daiyang Mountain.
Here in Daiyang Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan plans to run a large number of elixir gardens. In the future, all the alchemists of the sect will settle in this mountain.
Daiyang Mountain is located in the southeast of Dazhou, not too far from Jueying Mountain.
Like Jueying Mountain, this place is an enclave for Ziyang Sect, and it is relatively far from Lingjing Mountain, the foundation of the mountain gate.
Now that the Ziyang Sect is getting stronger and stronger, it urgently needs a foothold in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
According to the tacit understanding of the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Ziyang Sect's sphere of influence is in the southern wilderness, and the southeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the territory of the Dongxuan Sect.
Under normal circumstances, if Zhang Zhixuan wanted to infiltrate into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would inevitably encounter resistance from the ten major sects. Even if Daoist Yu was partial, it would probably be difficult to extend his tentacles to the core territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this battle of Moyun Cave, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan made great contributions and managed to swallow up the territory of Dongxuan Sect. For the long-term development of the sect, Zhang Zhixuan will definitely increase his efforts to manage Daiyang Mountain.
Zhang Zhixuan has had many experiences using innate purple energy in conjunction with elixir refining.
Although the difficulty of refining the two elixirs is very different, Ziyang Dan is only a third-level low-grade elixir, and if the Zhiyangdong True elixir is successfully refined, it will already be a sixth-level mid-level elixir.
Although the two elixirs were very different, Zhang Zhixuan still asked his disciples to collect the elixirs and prepare to make the elixirs.
Even if the alchemy failed this time, Zhang Zhixuan learned a very important experience.
Zhiyangdong True Pill requires sixteen kinds of auxiliary elixirs. These auxiliary elixirs have different levels. The highest one is fifth level and the lowest level is only third level.
The prescription of the elixir has been changed seven or eight times by the monks of the Dongxuan Sect of the past dynasties, and the auxiliary elixir has been changed again and again.
After more than half a year of research and careful analysis of the pros and cons, Zhang Zhixuan found that the elixir developed by Master Lihuo, the founder of Dongxuan Sect, was the most exquisite.
The auxiliary elixirs are matched in seconds, and the only difficult thing is to suppress the violent destructiveness of Sun Grass.
After making preparations, Zhang Zhixuan immediately started refining the elixir.
Many years ago, he worked with Dongxuanzong Zhao Dengyun to refine the Infant Training Pill, and was very familiar with the performance of the Zijin Qianyang Cauldron.
The alchemy furnace is no longer a problem, the top priority is to find a suitable underground fire cave.
Although the Ziyang Sect controls five sixth-level spiritual veins, it has not built a sixth-level earth fire chamber.
There are several underground fire chambers opened near Lingjing Mountain. The intensity of the underground fire is far from being able to refine sixth-level elixirs.
With Qing Chan, the sixth-level formation mage, in charge, the Ziyang Sect does not lack the means to tame the earth fire.
However, it is still very difficult to find a suitable underground fire chamber.
It will probably take a long time to find an earth lung suitable for building a sixth-level earth fire chamber. Unless Zhang Zhixuan has become a soul, he can then control the wind and rain, change the geography and mountains, and transform the environment with shocking power to condense the eyes of fire.
Therefore, Zhang Zhixuan could only borrow the sixth-level earth fire chamber of another sect for this elixir making.
All the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except the Ziyang Sect, all have six-level earth fire chambers. Among the ten major sects, the one that has the most contacts with the Ziyang Sect is the Huangji Sect.
Huangji Sect originally had its own sixth-level underground fire chamber. This time, it took over the mountain gate of Dongxuan Sect and took control of another sixth-level underground fire chamber.
After receiving Zhang Zhixuan's letter, Guo Songren was naturally not embarrassed and agreed to let Zhang Zhixuan refine elixirs in the fire chamber of Dongxuan Mountain.
After making all preparations, Zhang Zhixuan released the earth fire and began to refine the elixir.
The formation of the earth fire chamber slowly rotated, and a golden earth fire the size of a head slowly rose.
This golden earth fire is extremely hot and is the most terrifying earth lung fire in the world of immortality. Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not touch it.
Earth Lung True Fire is not only extremely powerful, but also highly poisonous, and cannot be used directly to refine elixirs.
If you want to use the Earth Lung True Fire, you need to use a special formation to purify the poison and weaken it before it can be used to make elixirs.
Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the ground fire, placed the Purple Gold Qianyang Cauldron, and put the sixth-order Zhiyang Grass into the middle of the alchemy furnace.
Using high-level earth fire to make elixirs consumes only half the mana of using real fire to make elixirs, and the success rate is also easier.
Even so, Zhang Zhixuan did not dare to be careless. He stared at the alchemy furnace with all his attention and carefully smelted the Yangcao slowly.
Seeing that the Zhiyang Grass was about to melt away, Zhang Zhixuan shot streams of innate purple energy into the middle of the alchemy furnace.
A stream of innate purple energy entered the alchemy furnace, instantly dyeing the alchemy furnace purple.
The innate purple temperature is moist and long-lasting. It is an extremely powerful mysterious force. It suppresses the nature of the Zhiyang herb at once, causing this elixir to be smelted together with other auxiliary elixirs, and gradually turned into a ball of purple elixir.
Zhang Zhixuan continued to activate his magic power, and the purple elixir liquid continued to rotate rapidly.
Seeing that the elixir was about to be made, Zhang Zhixuan hurriedly made a spiritual secret and used the elixir dividing method to divide it into several elixirs.
At this critical moment, his consciousness suddenly felt a stinging pain, and Zhang Zhixuan's movements slowed down a little. Most of the elixir liquid had been evaporated, and only one elixir was condensed in the alchemy furnace.
Zhang Zhixuan secretly smiled bitterly, put away the disappointment in his heart, and carefully warmed the elixir.
Time passed day by day, and finally the day came for the furnace to be opened.
This time the elixir refining time was relatively short, only taking three years and six months.
A powerful wave of spiritual energy came from the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy furnace jumped instantly, as if it had turned into countless streams of heat and would explode at any time.
Zhang Zhixuan's expression changed, and he quickly shot out a spiritual secret in his hand.
In an instant, the top cover was opened to leak out the alchemy energy to prevent the alchemy furnace from exploding.
A purple spiritual light shot out and was put into the jade bottle by Zhang Zhixuan, who had quick eyes and quick hands.
