Chapter 6 First involvement in alchemy (major cultivation)

The price of the lower-grade magic weapon of Chu State is about one hundred spirit stones.

The medium-grade magic weapon has two hundred spirit stones, and the top-grade magic weapon has four hundred spirit stones.

As for the best magic weapon, the eight hundred spirit stones are just starting out, and they are often priceless.

It is just because the top-grade magic weapons are generally used by monks in the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is difficult for monks in the Qi Refining stage to compete with them.

The outer disciples of Yuanyang Sect only distributed five spirit stones every month.

In addition to the standard magic weapons distributed by the sect, if you want to buy an additional low-grade magic weapon, even if you are thrifty, it will take nearly two years to get this spiritual stone, let alone a medium-grade magic weapon.

Watching Senior Brother Wu leave, Liu Yu withdraw his thoughts.

In this way, my cultivation career in the Medicine Garden officially began.

He first brought the collected spiritual medicine seeds into the Immortal Palace to plant them, and after they were ripened by the Immortal Palace, they then put them in the prepared jade box.

Fifteen more spirit stones were used to replenish the spiritual power consumed by the black spiritual field.

This made Liu Yu's flesh hurt. At this time, only eighteen spirit stones were left in the storage bag, which was severely shrinking.

Touching the storage bag, he let out a long breath, and felt a sense of urgency to earn spirit stones.

Spend two hours a day to take care of the spiritual medicine garden and weed and water the spiritual medicine.

In the next two hours, I carefully studied the basics of alchemy, recorded the things I didn’t understand, thought about them slowly, and pondered them repeatedly.

One hour later, practice spells and magic tools.

On the road to immortality, struggles are inevitable due to various reasons.

In addition to realm, magic tools and magic are also crucial. As a means of protecting Taoism, life and life must not be unfamiliar.

At night, I spent four hours meditating and practicing with the rich spiritual energy of the medicine garden.

The realm of cultivation is the foundation of everything, and Liu Yu always keeps this in mind.

As for the last three hours, it is sleeping and resting.

A cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot sleeplessly, and must use sleep to restore his consumed energy.

...

Every day is spent according to the plan, and the life is extremely fulfilling.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

The seeds of the spiritual medicine planted have been ripened by the Immortal Palace, and a total of thirty portions of the spiritual herbs that refine the spirit gathering pills and fifteen portions of the spiritual herbs that refine the Qingling pills.

The sunlight shines in through the windows and falls on the body warmly.

“It’s time.”

In the thatched hut, Liu Yu flashed this idea.

After half a month of thinking, he consciously understood the basics of alchemy and had already had some ideas about the refining of spirit-gathering pills.

Liu Yu plans to start with the "Spirit Gathering Pill" first and start his own path of alchemy.

It is just because as a pill taken in the early stage of Qi refining, the "Spirit Gathering Pill" is the least difficult to refine, and the spiritual medicine used is one less than the "Qingling Pill".

It is most suitable to be familiar with the process of alchemy.

From easy to difficult is the only way for every alchemy apprentice to learn alchemy.

Otherwise, no matter how amazing the talent of alchemy is, there is no gradual process, and there is only one way to go for failure.

Liu Yu cleaned up the thatched hut, swept the debris into the corner, and placed the copper tripod in the center of the room.

The conditions were simple at this time, so I had to give it a break.

Next to the bronze tripod, he slimly portrayed a miniature formation, and placed three low-grade spirit stones at the junction of several lines.

This is a fire control array recorded in "Basics of Alchemy".

You can use specific magic tricks to consume spiritual power in spirit stones and stimulate a magic fire.

This fire can shorten the time required for alchemy and burn very stably, which helps to improve the success rate of alchemy.

Generally speaking, the success of alchemy depends mainly on several aspects:

1. The precise formula ratio of spiritual herbs, that is, the pill recipe.

2. The timing and order of the elixirs are added.

3. Control of the heat during alchemy.

4. The time to open the furnace to get the elixir.

And alchemy techniques, etc.

Regarding the first point, there is nothing to say about the formula ratio of spiritual herbs and elixirs.

After countless practices by immortal cultivators throughout the ages, they have long been able to figure it out and made various alchemy recipes.

When refining alchemy, you only need to follow the elixir recipe, and there will generally be no problems.

Of course, this is just a reference to an alchemist.

A few alchemy masters can also make subtle adjustments to the proportions according to the year of the spiritual herbs and medicines to further improve the success rate of alchemy.

And the second point is that the time to put the elixir requires some alchemy experience.

After all, the pill recipe is a dead object, so it is impossible to consider the situation. The situation of each alchemy refining cannot be exactly the same.

At this time, the alchemist's own experience is needed to determine the right time.

As for flame, as one of the key factors in the success of alchemy, its importance is self-evident.

If Liu Yu's sparse magic power in the fourth layer of Qi refining is used to stimulate the flames, he may have exhausted his magic power before the alchemy is over.

Moreover, the flames stimulated by mana are not so stable and are not suitable for alchemy.

Most alchemists choose to use earth fire to refine alchemy.

The temperature of the earth fire is high and stable and lasting, which is really an excellent choice.

But Liu Yu had no earth fire at this time, so he had to choose to use the formation to stimulate the flames, which was just a little consumed.

And the fourth point of opening the furnace will test the experience of the alchemy practitioners even more.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to make accurate judgments without dozens or hundreds of refining.

As for alchemy techniques, it is even more difficult to learn.

Every alchemist has his own unique alchemy technique and will keep a hand when teaching apprentices.

Generally speaking, it will only be passed on to personal disciples or direct descendants.

In the basics of alchemy, only a few general alchemy techniques are recorded.

"If you have the chance, you must collect a superior alchemy technique."

Liu Yu was quite helpless about this and secretly decided in his heart to find an opportunity to collect a superior alchemy technique.

...

After a moment, everything is ready.

"Clang"

Liu Yu opened the fire door under the copper tripod and placed it in the center of the micro formation.

Then, he slowly pinched the magic formula with both hands and shot several red lights into the magic array.

The magic array absorbed red light, and the three spiritual stones inlaid became brighter.

Two breaths later, a fist-sized flame appeared in the center of the magic circle and below the copper tripod.

The high temperature gradually increased, burning fiercely in the fire door.

Suddenly, the room was filled with flames and the temperature began to rise rapidly.

Liu Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, felt a wave of heat coming towards him, and had to shoot a magic trick to reduce the firepower output.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the purple-red body of the copper tripod was faintly exposed, and Liu Yu felt an astonishing high temperature.

He knew that the warm-up was completed.

So he quickly pinched the magic tricks, and a wisp of magic power was injected into the small tripod, and his spiritual sense controlled the tripod cover to rise, revealing the round tripod mouth.

"Next, it is to release the spiritual medicine to separate its essence from the impurities."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu slapped the storage bag.

A few jade boxes immediately appeared in my hand, which were the spiritual medicines needed to refine the spirit gathering pill.

He opened the jade box one by one, controlled one of the spiritual medicines to fall into the cauldron, and then controlled the cover to fall, covering the mouth of the cauldron.

"Sizi"

Red flames burn with flames.
