Chapter 251: Alchemy Examination, True Water Enters Wine
However, in front of Xie Duanyang, she really didn't have the intention or confidence to disobey, so she sat obediently in front of the cauldron, tilting her head and bowing slightly.
"It's easy to teach seniors to make you laugh."
After saying that, she rolled up the cuffs of her white clothes and fixed her hair with black hair with a hairpin.
I am not in a hurry to make elixirs, but instead count the hundreds of medicinal materials piled on the ground one by one, and then combine my own experience to see which elixir is suitable for refining.
At the same time, Wan Qingxue also took this opportunity to sort out her emotions and stabilize them.
Although she is not very confident in her alchemy skills, she still wants to perform as well as possible.
Han Li is proficient in Huanglong Pill and Jinsui Pill, although they are very effective.
But it is not made by monks' alchemy skills, but by the medical techniques of mortals.
In fact, there is a lot of waste of the spiritual energy of medicinal materials.
Not long after, Wan Qingxue had selected more than a dozen medicinal materials and laid them out in front of her.
"Cloud grass, cold tobacco leaves, water lotus heart...
It turns out to be Shuiyundan."
Xie Duanyang glanced at it, taking in all the varieties and names, and immediately guessed what kind of elixir she wanted to refine.
This is also a kind of elixir that can be used to refine qi and improve mana. Many sects and families have elixir recipes, but the materials, proportions, and techniques are slightly different.
The potency of this elixir is long-lasting and profound, but not strong.
It has a significant effect on the middle and late stages of Qi training, but it will not burden the meridians of monks in the middle stage of Qi training because the medicine is too strong.
However, when refining this elixir, most of the medicinal materials used are derived from water, or grow in valleys filled with clouds and mist, and their properties are obviously biased.
Therefore, after the elixir is completed and those who practice the water element and wood element take it, the elixir will be one or two points stronger than other elixirs.
But for fire monks, it will cost about 20%.
In addition, when using earth fire or monk's real fire to refine elixirs, the medicinal materials will be damaged more than other elixirs.
Therefore, although Xie Duanyang has collected such elixirs, he has never refined them in a furnace.
Now that I saw her choosing this elixir, I felt a little bit interested.
While releasing his spiritual thoughts, he also slightly stimulated the supernatural power of Taixu Mirror, recording the process.
Wan Qingxue's cultivation method is also of the water ice lineage, so it complements each other well when used to worship this elixir.
But I saw her slender hands, with her fingers intertwined to form a seal that looked like a blooming orchid, and she was using her magic power silently.
A ball of water with dazzling aura formed in the air, twisting and changing.
Stretch out several thin ribbons of water, roll up the previously selected medicinal materials, and wrap them in the water.
I saw Wan Qingxue slowly changing the posture of her fingers, urging her magic power.
The water mass sometimes grinds like a stone mill, and also rotates rapidly like a tornado whirlpool, and the medicinal materials attached to the water wall are broken and crushed accordingly.
The dripping liquid is squeezed out and blended into the water mass.
Xie Duanyang touched his chin with his hand and nodded secretly.
This is because the way he practices Taoism is different. His cultivation, spiritual thoughts and techniques are all superior to Wan Qingxue.
But when it comes to handling these herbs, they are not much better than the other party.
After all, the mana is limited, and the medicinal materials for refining "Shuiyun Dan" will be initially processed and extracted.
Wan Qingxue didn't make any effort and started refining the pill directly.
Instead, he took out a square kerchief from his arms and carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead.
After another three weeks of self-operation, the consumed mana and mind were restored to fullness, and then the alchemy was officially started.
Although the medicinal materials were handled well in the early stage, and Shuiyundan was her best elixir, Wan Qingxue still did not dare to be careless and was extremely cautious.
The main reason is that she used to make elixirs using the earth fire brought up from the earth veins dug by Wanjia and Tianque Castle, and she has long been accustomed to its properties.
However, now, it is the true fire of the foundation-building monks.
What's more, as an outsider, it's hard to communicate.
In her opinion, one or two furnaces of elixirs must be refined before the two of them can initially develop a tacit understanding.
But when she actually refined the elixir, Wan Qingxue realized that she was wrong.
Except for being a little cautious and slow at the beginning, Xie Duanyang seems to have the ability to read minds and can perfectly understand what he is thinking.
When the martial fire burns fiercely, and when it turns to gentle fire for tempering, there is no need to remind you, Xie Duanyang's true fire has already changed naturally.
Later, Wan Qingxue even felt that her technique could not keep up with the changes in real fire, and some of the subtleties were something she had never imagined.
At this time, she had no other thoughts. She was just refining the elixir and keeping the various changes in the temperature of the real fire firmly in her mind.
If you can completely understand and absorb it, your alchemy skills will definitely reach a higher level.
Later, the rhythm of alchemy was no longer controlled by Wan Qingxue, but by Xie Duanyang, who was taking the lead through the transformation of true fire.
Although Shuiyun Pill is not a difficult elixir, Wan Qingxue was distracted by studying the secrets of refining it instead of simply making pills based on her old experience.
Therefore, even if Xie Duanyang came to help this time, it would take even more time.
It wasn't until the next day when it was almost dark and the sun was about to rise that it finally came to an end.
Wan Qingxue's bright eyes widened, and she stirred up all the remaining magic power. She held the magic formula with both hands and turned it into a cloud of mist and water, completely protecting and wrapping the cauldron of Chinese medicinal liquid.
"The elixir is about to be completed, please ask senior to collect the real fire!"
Xie Duanyang was much more calm than she was when she was dripping with sweat. He just smiled and his anger suddenly subsided.
But it was not completely put away, it was just darkened and continued to contain the elixir through the remaining fire.
It was time for another cup of tea, and Wan Qingxue completely put away the magic formula. She tapped her bare hand lightly on the wall of the cauldron and pulled her hand.
I heard a faint fragrance coming from the cauldron, and more than twenty pills that seemed to be wrapped in faint clouds flew out of the cauldron and were led to the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.
When Shuiyundan comes out of the oven, it has a strange medicinal aroma, but after it comes out of the oven, it becomes ordinary, as if it is sealed with wax, and then half of the aroma comes out.
"This furnace of Shuiyundan is of the highest quality."
Pour the elixir into the jade-like palm, pick it up with two fingers, look at the smooth mirror-like surface, Wan Qingxue murmured to herself.
She has refined Shuiyun Dan many times, and has also seen the sect's alchemy masters refine it.
I knew in my heart that the alchemy fragrance was not released at all, because the alchemy was very successful.
The power of the medicine is completely locked in the elixir, without any leakage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Her previous most successful success was just barely refining the top-grade Shuiyun Dan, which already made the alchemy masters in the clan praise her for her talent in this area.
But I didn’t expect that with the help of Xie Duanyang, the quality would rise by two levels out of thin air.
Moreover, when she previously refined the Water Cloud Pill, she could only produce eighteen or nineteen pills with the same materials, but now the output has suddenly increased by one-third, reaching as many as twenty-four pills.
For a moment, Wan Qingxue couldn't care less about her own situation, and had a strong desire to start refining alchemy again.
But in the end she didn't get carried away. She immediately suppressed herself, swallowed a Bigu Pill and a Qi-Returning Pill at the same time, and began to refine her skills.
Soon, the second furnace of Shuiyundan began to be refined.
Originally, Xie Duanyang asked to see her accomplishments in alchemy. Now that Shuiyun Dan has been refined, it should be replaced with other types of elixirs.
But Wan Qingxue is eager to know her progress.
In this regard, Xie Duanyang did not stop him, but focused a little on his alchemy.
Instead of using his own experience to assist Taixu Jing, the initiative was handed over to her again.
The speed this time is much faster than that of putting it on the stove. Without Xie Duanyang to take charge, the quality of Shuiyundan has declined.
But Wan Qingxue still had to be a lot stronger before, barely reaching the top level.
Witnessing the progress in her alchemy skills with her own eyes, Wan Qingxue's confidence greatly increased and she showed Xie Duanyang one by one the other elixirs she had mastered.
Pochen Dan, Baicao Pill...
The success rate and quality have improved to varying degrees compared to Wan Qingxue's previous results, but they are far less obvious than Shuiyundan.
This alchemy process took half a month to complete.
Most of the first batch of elixirs that Xie Duanyang took out have been used, leaving only thirty or forty kinds of elixirs that Wan Qingxue has mastered that cannot be used.
"Let's stay here temporarily."
Refining elixirs and refining weapons is not an easy job, it consumes a lot of mental energy.
For half a month, Wan Qingxue looked a little haggard, and Xie Duanyang saw it and spoke.
"Fellow Taoist, let's rest for a few days. When we are full of energy, you and I can officially refine the elixir."
After this period of time, he has become extremely clear about the Wanqingxue Dan technique, and there will be no change if he continues to take exams.
It's time to pursue production, but Xie Duanyang has not forgotten that it has not been long since the invitation to Qi Yunxiao's foundation building event.
As he spoke, he took out a wine gourd from the storage bag on his waist and threw it to Wan Qingxue.
"It's a three-part poison. No matter what kind of elixir it is, if you take too much in a short period of time, it will have some effect.
Next, you should stop relying on the Qi-Reviving Pill to restore your mana, the Bigu Pill to satisfy your hunger, and drink two sips of the Spirit Bar."
Wan Qingxue knows alchemy herself, so she naturally knows that this statement is true, and of course she will not refuse this kind offer.
After removing the stopper, she recognized it as the sweet-scented osmanthus brew that she and Xie Duanyang had tasted in Wuweizhai before drinking it.
Just...
The taste seems to be different between the two times.
Osmanthus mini brew has a soft taste and outstanding fragrance, but this time the drink has a refreshing and hair-growing effect.
Like rootless water falling from the sky, it has not yet been contaminated by the mundane world.
It is also like the eternal glaciers and snow-capped mountains, which are thawed and melted by sunlight.
The spring breeze blows, and the earth is full of life.
At this time, Wan Qingxue's feelings were not much different. With the drink in her stomach, she clearly felt that the water magic power in her body was a little more active than before, with more subtle spirituality, slowly nourishing the muscles, bones, skin and flesh.
.
Of course, the more important thing is that the magic power in the body seems to be condensing and liquefying.
And the liquefaction of mana is the most obvious sign of the achievement of foundation building!
Holding the wine bottle tightly with her fingers, Wan Qingxue wished she could go into seclusion immediately and take the Foundation Building Pill that Xie Duanyang had given her previously.
If she was not sure before, she would be able to successfully build the foundation after taking the foundation-building pill again after completing the thirteenth level of Qi training.
So now, she is truly confident.
"Thank you, senior, for this drink..."
Reluctantly suppressing the excitement in her heart, she bowed deeply first, then Wan Qingxue spoke carelessly.
Xie Duanyang raised his right hand, stopping her movement and next words, and just told her to adjust her breathing before the spiritual energy dissipated, and not to waste it.
Wan Qingxue's heart was slightly frightened, and she didn't bother to ask in detail. She immediately sat cross-legged and practiced her own "Tian Ying Shui Technique".
Seeing the radiant glow on her skin, the previous fatigue and tiredness disappeared imperceptibly. Xie Duanyang showed a smile on his face and took a packet of "Lian Qi Powder" to practice and refine her skills.
He has the Taixu Mirror in his hand, which can help people practice to the maximum extent.
Unless your qualifications are as low as Han Li's and your foundation is unstable, you can basically guarantee success with one or two Foundation Building Pills.
Qi Yunxiao is the best example.
However, it is still the same as Shuiyundan.
The water-based skills practiced by Wan Qingxue are naturally incompatible with Xie Duanyang's gold-fire skills.
Helping her can certainly ensure the success of her foundation building, but if water and fire are too strong, it may damage her foundation, and it will take several years to completely recover.
Therefore, Xie Duanyang just took out the essence of dripping true water, diluted it into the sweet-scented osmanthus brew and gave it to him to drink.
According to common sense, the essence of true water can only be refined and condensed by the Jindan master who practices water-based exercises.
It is useful for golden elixir monks to practice, refine magic weapons, and even for fake elixir monks to try to form elixirs.
What's more, he's just a Qi-training monk.
If you take this substance regularly, Xie Duanyang estimates that Wan Qingxue can successfully build the foundation without even using the foundation-building pill.
Of course, this move is a huge waste and is far less cost-effective than the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even if he had a jade gourd of true water essence in his hand, he couldn't give her too much.
One drop is enough.
Every few days, Wan Qingxue drinks the Kouling Wine, and the power of true water contained in it will naturally nourish his body and purify his magic power.
Even if I help build the foundation, I can still protect my body from being damaged by the magic of gold and fire.
However, there is no need to explain these details to Wan Qingxue too clearly. She only needs to know that this thing is of great benefit to her.
After more than a day, the two of them opened their eyes and finished their exercises almost at the same time.
Without saying anything else, Xie Duanyang took out the medicinal materials from the storage bag, and Wan Qingxue used the water method to process them.
As early as the previous half-month alchemy process, the two of them had completely developed a tacit understanding.
Now it is Xie Duanyang who takes the lead, and the cooperation is seamless without the need for words.
Only when she encounters an elixir that she has never learned before, or is unable to deal with it due to lack of energy.
Xie Duanyang would stop and help her out, explaining the secrets to her.
Even in the master-disciple clan, knowledge was not imparted casually, but he told it without any hesitation.
Wan Qingxue is like a sponge, desperately absorbing every drop of precious knowledge that cannot be exchanged for a price.
There are ample opportunities to practice.
Almost every day, I can feel my skills improving rapidly.
However, there was something even more surprising to her.
Quick!
This was Wan Qingxue's first feeling when she saw Xie Duanyang actually making alchemy.
As early as half a month ago, she had already estimated that it would be very fast if Senior Xie really started to refine elixirs.
But the fact that it happened so quickly was far beyond her expectation, as if eating and drinking were natural.
What shocked him even more than the speed was the extremely high rate of Xie Duanyang's elixir formation.
For an ordinary alchemy master, apart from the three or two kinds of elixirs that he studies day and night, if he can succeed in three or four of the ten potions of other elixirs, it is already very good.
However, Xie Duanyang is basically at the level of six or seven furnaces, and the quality of the elixir is definitely not bad.
