Chapter 40: The situation turns nine, and one gas becomes a pill (Part 2)

Guiyun held the sword in his hands in his chest, and the sword was sharp towards the sky, concentrating his mind and chanting in his mouth:

"I have returned to the true Tao, and now I will tell all directions: knock on the sky and fight against the turbulent earth and the mountains and rivers; cry on the wind and clouds and dragons, tell the thunder and rain, and ghosts and gods to listen—"

As soon as the four spells fell, the scorching sun at noon in early autumn seemed to lose its heat instantly, turning into a comfortable and cool feeling. There was also an invisible air flow that came from nowhere, and it was in vain and imaginatively injected into the Bagua Dao Banner.

The changes are so mysterious, as if the heaven and earth listen, and the wind and clouds respond.

If Yan Li had spiritual roots, she could feel the endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this moment, floating from the endless nothingness, hovering in the courtyard, filling this world.

Gui Yun separated his hands, held a sword in his right hand, picked up a piece of talisman paper with his left hand, drew a mysterious trajectory in the air, and finally lit it on the candlestick.

The talisman paper ignited a flame with a "bang", and the whole piece of talisman paper was burning, but it did not instantly turn into ashes like ordinary talisman paper, but slowly jumped with orange-red fire, like a light between heaven and earth.

Gui Yun's feet immediately moved away, stepping on the turtle and fighting, showing his mysterious stepping method. His hands also cooperated with guidance to conduct a solemn sacrifice.

He continued to recite:

"The spiritual talisman leads the way into the dragon courtyard, and commands ghosts and gods to surrender elves."

The Dragon Court is a divine system outside the Heavenly Court, that is, the gods of the Dragon Clan in the Four Seas. Ancient sects, especially the Yun Sect, used the magic power of the Dragon Court even if they borrowed the power of ghosts and gods.

Most people in the Central Plains believe that the Dragon King of Four Seas is under the Heavenly Court. How can the Dragon Clan in Four Seas be so powerful, the number of Seas, and the gods they believe in, be able to settle in the Heavenly Court?

From this we can see that the path of charlatans has been the same throughout the ages.

Guiyun chanted a spell and sacrificed dance. The talisman shining with fire at his fingertips turned into a flame, soared into the sky and disappeared in a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a breeze blew around the yard, like an invisible hand, fiddling with the surrounding flags.

In the breeze, Guiyun picked up another talisman and lit it on the candlestick. Then he dipped it into a bowl of cinnabar water, making the bowl of water as red as blood and shine with his spiritual light. He dipped his middle finger in the red water, and pointed a little in each of the five-color rice bowls in front of him.

"The ghosts and gods from all directions respond to my sacrifices, enjoy my wealth and listen to my orders."

The five-colored rice covered with cinnabar talisman water was thrown into the air, and most of them disappeared before landing. Only a few of them fell on the ground, making a slight sound.

"Ghosts and gods enter the formation, and the magic opens the cloud!"

Gui Yun let out a light roar, and the right sword draws out a mysterious trajectory, and the left sleeve whisks, sending out a hint of breeze. On the magic platform, the four paper talismans placed in front of the golden chime stand stood up on their own, each relying on a golden chime.

Immediately afterwards, the talismans ignited spontaneously without fire, turning into a mass of inspiration and drilling into the golden chime.

The golden chime suddenly let out a clear and pleasant buzzing sound, and at the same time, the Eight Trigrams and Dao Banners around each swayed, and the unstable breeze in the courtyard was rotating and pouring into the alchemy furnace.

The ancient bronze alchemy furnace received the breeze spiritual energy, emitting a rich fragrance of clouds and smoke, instantly spreading the entire courtyard.

The clouds and smoke do not rise or fall, and condense but do not disperse.

The Dharma platform that returned to the cloud seemed to be placed on a cloud of clouds and mist, emitting an endless atmosphere of immortality.

Guiyun kept dancing with swords and picking fingers. He gently shot the golden chimes of Xun Gua and Li Gua, making a buzzing and clear sound.

"Xunfeng turns the position and starts the furnace!"

The thick bronze alchemy furnace seemed to be supported by a mysterious force, slowly rotated on the spot for a while, collecting all the spiritual energy in all directions, and finally the head of the furnace faced the Xun position.

The breeze slowly poured in, and the warmth rose from the elixir furnace, and the clouds and smoke in the field became more abundant.

The Yunzong Taoist method is best at controlling storms and thunderstorms. The same is true for the alchemy technique it derived. Therefore, the alchemy he refined is mellow and long, and the medicinal power is light and peaceful, which is the best grade.

It is no secret that the elixir recipe for nourishing Qi Dan is just a top-notch ginseng as the main medicine, supplemented by Ganoderma lucidum, astragalus, angelica and other medicinal materials that replenish qi and consolidate the foundation, and then use other medicines to harmonize the effect of the medicine to remove the fire, and finally refine it.

The elixir prescription can be adjusted according to the nuances of the main medicine, the origin, etc., but the overall effect remains roughly unchanged. For experienced famous doctors, this is not a problem.

In fact, there are also many doctors who directly use the qi-nourishing pill as a prescription to treat certain patients with qi deficiency and weakness. Even some martial arts people will use this elixir as a bait to replenish vital energy and improve their cultivation.

However, its effect is far worse than that of Qi-nourishing Pill. Especially when used for martial arts practice, the excess medicinal residue and medicinal properties will precipitate in the warrior's body and accumulate into toxicity. Although the cultivation level is rapidly advancing for a while, it will not only be difficult to improve over time, but will even damage the origin.

The mystery of Qi-Burning Pill lies in its refining process.

Many medicinal materials are differentiated and combined in the alchemy furnace, and are transformed in complex times, temperatures, and humidity, and finally aggregate together, the medicinal properties are harmonized, and the elixirs are gone, forming a precious Xuanmen secret medicine.

Gui Yun was obviously very familiar with the refining of Qi-Breaking Pill. While stepping on the turbulent stage, dancing the magic sword, and twisting the magic tricks with hands. He flicked the Bagua Golden Chime to activate the power of ghosts and gods and activate the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy process lasted for two hours, and the number of magic tricks involved was not large, and the total number was only twenty-four hands, but the requirements for time were very accurate. If you missed a trick, you would fail to refine it!

Count it carefully. In two hours, the bronze elixir furnace rotated nine times in the field. The clouds and smoke in the magic circle were circling unsteadily under the agitation of the Bagua Dao Banner, as if the wind and clouds of the heaven and earth were flowing.

Finally, the furnace head turns over the position of Kan and water, extinguishes the fire; turns over the position of Qiankun, and pays homage to heaven and earth; finally stops again at the Xun Feng position, and takes a deep breath, sucking all the smoke and clouds in the magic circle into the furnace.

This breath of qi is the last key to the formation of the Nine-Turn Pill.

All the orifices of the Dan Furnace are closed, and there is no trace of the fragrance of medicine in the field.

However, there is still an important step in the entire ceremony.

Guiyun stepped on the bucket, dipped it in cinnabar talisman water again, sprinkled out five-color rice all over the sky, and shouted:

"The elixir has become nine turns and the skills are complete. The ghosts and gods in all directions will listen to my orders: receive my rice, respond to my talisman orders, and return to your position quickly! Clean the altar——"

The five-colored rice disappeared out of thin air, and then another fire talisman rushed into the sky. The eight-sided golden chimes on the magic platform were silent, and the breeze coiled in the courtyard suddenly dissipated.

If you make a mistake in sending the gods, it may be a great trouble for alchemists with low cultivation. Therefore, although this step has nothing to do with the success or failure of alchemy, it is essential. It is also a problem where the gods are more troublesome than the immortals.

Gui Yun walked down the platform and opened the alchemy furnace with Yan Li. Ninety-nine eighty-one Qi-nourishing Pills were lying quietly in the center of the alchemy furnace, just as many as a furnace.

This is a few thousand taels of silver!

For the alchemist, this is just two hours of effort. It can be seen that the alchemist's huge profits are even higher than the sword-casting master. Even if the sword-casting master wants to cast a high-quality magic weapon, in addition to high-quality materials, it will take one or two days.

From another perspective, how expensive is the real path to cultivation! The ancients did not deceive me.

In fact, with Guiyun's cultivation and alchemy attainments, refining Qi-nourishing Pills can be completely combined by counting furnaces and refining hundreds of Qi-nourishing Pills at a time. It is just for demonstration, and each step is completed with the most standard regulations.

It is common for novices to refine a whole furnace, thirty-six or sixty-four furnaces each time. First, it can save materials and increase the rate of elixir production; second, it can increase the number of practices.

After the alchemy is completed, an alchemist with high cultivation can also activate magic tools to let the elixirs in the alchemy furnace fly out and put them into a bottle. However, for an alchemist without innate cultivation, doing so is just to consume the true energy and create a gorgeous scene, which is far less practical than manually opening the furnace.

Of course, there are different levels of advanced elixirs. Many elixirs have special requirements. Not only is the magic formula more complicated, but the process takes longer. Finally, the time for the elixirs to be in the furnace is also limited, so you have to use magic power to activate the elixir to vomit medicine. That is another matter.

Similarly, the medicine you put on before the alchemy can also be activated to let the alchemist throw it in the air, and the alchem ​​furnace will suck the medicinal materials into it by itself.

However, for low-level alchemists, the purpose of practicing elixirs is the only way to practice elixirs; low-level elixirs do not require urging magic tools to refine complex medicinal materials. For the sake of style, you can temporarily rest in Java.

It was already noon at this time, and the two of them had a belated lunch. Yan Li went to do a routine inspection for Duan Heihu and asked Duan Yan about the progress of his withdrawal from the gang.

Duan Heihu recovered well, and the young leader retreated the gang smoothly - the Hengjiang Gang wisely did not make things difficult. The only thing worse than expected was that the gift from the Hengjiang Gang had not been delivered yet.

Yan Li couldn't help but sigh that these profiteers under the banner of heroes are very inefficient. In the future, they will face the aggressive Dongsha Gang, and the future of the Hengjiang Gang is worrying!

After dealing with this matter, Yan Li closed the courtyard again and began his first alchemy refining.

With his qualifications and confidence, he skipped the half-fire practice stage of thirty-six and sixty-four, and started with the whole furnace medicinal materials. There were no twists and turns in the alchemy process. It was done in two hours in one go, and he got 81 Qi-raising pills perfectly.

From then on, Yan Li added another title: Alchemist.

This was expected, and Gui Yun did not feel any surprise at all.

However, Yan Li himself gained some insights and reflections from the alchemy:

First, there was no accurate timer in ancient times. The use of magic tricks during the alchemy process required accurate time. It could only refer to the hourglass, and the alchemist master controlled the time from his own breathing and heartbeat, which was very inconvenient.

Second, the refining process of Qi-Braising Pill seems mysterious, but apart from the elixir that absorbs Yunyan from the end of the elixir, there is not much spiritual energy intervenes in the medicinal power. Does that mean that the entire alchemy process can actually be broken down, refined by conventional methods, and finally replenished a spiritual energy?

Third, the prescription for the Qi-Healing Pill is popular, and the core concept is to replenish vital energy and harmonize the medicinal properties. However, the concept of traditional Chinese medicine depends on the person's medicine, and one prescription is emphasized. Qi-Healing Pill is destined to not be suitable for everyone's physical constitution and physical attributes. So, can this classic prescription be adjusted again based on everyone's physical constitution?

Unfortunately, Gui Yun's alchemy technique was only studied step by step and did not study too many alchemy theories. At his age, if he had not been very serious in his work since childhood and was extremely serious, he was afraid that he would not have such attainment, so of course he would not be able to discuss it in depth with Yan Li.

Moreover, after Yan Li completed this furnace of elixir, the sun had already set and was about to rest. He would never disrupt his practice for accidental thoughts.

He will follow his own pace, step out of his own way and reach the top of the sea of ​​clouds at his own pace.

——…—

The next morning, Duanlang Dao Buchen came to the door to clean on time.

This is a big news in Jianchuan City, attracting countless people to watch.

Of course, Bu Chen's mortal enemy, Du Hong, is indispensable.

"Hahaha, Bu Chen, you will become a weak person in the street sweeping overnight. How embarrassing!" Du Hong mocked him, breaking the silence in front of the Fenghuo Forging the Door.

Several brothers from the Hengjiang Gang behind him laughed.

Bu Chen was not alone, so there were naturally some brothers from the Dongsha Gang following him. Both sides glared at him, as if a storm was about to come.
