[116], the art of alchemy
Seeing Tang Monk humbly asking for advice, Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "Refining immortal pills naturally requires immortal fire. The so-called immortal fire here is extraordinary fire. It can be the true qi fire transformed from the true qi in the human body, such as Samadhi true fire, which can be the fire emitted by treasures, such as purple-green Tushita fire, or other fires with spiritual energy. In short, it is not from firewood or charcoal fire. Because refining immortal pills is not like mortals who refine pharmaceutical pills, which burn the firewood and charcoal fire under the alchemy furnace."
"Alchemy requires a elixir furnace. The elixir furnace is divided into shell and inner liner," Zhen Yuanzi said, and pointed to his great alchemy furnace: "For example, my Heaven and Earth Wuji Chaos Furnace, although the shell is so large, the inner liner is only the size of an ordinary iron pot and is suspended in the shell. When refining alchemy, put the immortal material into the inner liner, inject the immortal fire into the gap between the shell and the inner elixir, and use the mind power to control the flame to burn the entire inner liner in all directions. At the same time, use the mind power to control the inner liner to rotate regularly so that the immortal material will not be burned. In short, the way of alchemy is long. There is a detailed explanation in the "Secret Alchemy Method" that you can study it yourself."
Tang Monk nodded and said, "Okay, I am just learning by myself. Just Brother Tao, this alchemy furnace...hehe..."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly and said, "You must not be able to activate this world-thin chaos furnace. Brother Yu also has a smaller alchemy furnace, so I will give you one."
"Then I would like to thank Brother Zhenyuan!" Tang Seng even spared the polite words and accepted Zhenyuanzi's gift directly.
After a while, Tang Monk had a purple elixir furnace in his hand, but Tang Monk looked at the Wuji Chaos Furnace of Heaven and Earth, and looked at the purple elixir furnace in his hand. Tang Monk felt a little confused: "Is this a smaller elixir furnace? It's too small!" The elixir furnace in Tang Monk's hand was only the size of an ordinary aluminum pot, and Tang Monk's face was full of dissatisfaction.
Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "My brother, don't be content. Although this Zixia Dan Furnace is small, it is not an ordinary Dan Furnace. When I was young, I relied on this Zixia Dan Furnace to practice. Now I will give it to you. When you become familiar with its effects, you will like it."
Tang Seng nodded and said, "Then thank you Brother Zhenyuan." What else can you say when someone gave it for free?
Tang Monk opened the lid of the elixir furnace and saw that the inner liner of the Zixia elixir furnace was only a little smaller than the shell, just like... like a rice cooker, the inner liner and the shell are almost the same, and the gap between them is only a small one. The entire inner liner also looks at least as big as a basketball.
After discovering this phenomenon, Tang Monk was in a slightly better mood. When he used the Huiyan skill to check the Zixia Dan Furnace, he got the following information: "Zixia Dan Furnace: When refining the alchemy, the elixir is filled with flames, and the outer wall of the elixir is as radiant as purple rays, so he got this name. The first-level elixir furnace of immortal grade can prevent the leakage of certain immortal materials and spiritual energy during the alchemy process, and ensure the quality of the elixir under certain conditions."
Seeing this information, Tang Seng thought about it and then looked at the Heaven and Earth Wuji Chaos Furnace: "The Heaven and Earth Wuji Chaos Furnace: It is said that it is a prehistoric divine object when Pangu opened the world. The holy high-level alchemy furnace. This furnace can greatly ensure that the spiritual energy of the immortal material will not leak out to the greatest extent during the alchemy process, and will make a certain bonus to the effect of the immortal pills, greatly ensuring the quality of the immortal pills."
Comparing the two tripod elixir furnaces, the height is obvious. However, Tang Seng thought about it and Zhen Yuanzi was right. Even if he got the Tiandi Wuji Chaos Furnace, he would not be able to make good use of it. It would be better to use the Zixia Dan Furnace first and practice it now. When you have the chance in the future, you will find the best top-quality elixir furnace yourself.
Thinking of this, Tang Monk accepted the Zixia Dan Furnace with satisfaction and asked Zhen Yuanzi for some experience in alchemy. The two talked about alchemy for several days. Tang Monk not only learned a lot of knowledge about alchemy, but also consolidated his brotherly relationship with Zhen Yuanzi. The two were in love, which made Zhen Yuanzi pay great attention to Tang Monk. When Tang Monk bid farewell to Wuzhuang Temple and continued his journey westward, Zhen Yuan Daxian was a little reluctant to let Tang Monk leave. On weekdays, he treated his disciples as a master and elder. Even though he was approachable, those disciples still respected him very much. Now, a Tang Monk finally talked about alchemy on an equal footing with him, but now he is leaving.
However, Zhen Yuanzi just felt a little reluctant and would not really keep Tang Monk. He just picked four ginseng fruits and gave them to his master and disciple, and then sent Tang Monk to the west.

Speaking of which, Tang Monk farewell to Zhenyuan Daxian, left Wuzhuangguan, and continued to travel west. After traveling for several days, he had already left the Wanshou Mountain realm, but at this time he came to the foot of a mountain with overlapping rocks and ravines and bays. There were many ferocious tigers and wolves, and there were more docile deer, rabbits and foxes. There was no way here. The pine and nanmu were beautiful at the high place, but the lower place was covered by thorns and weeds. In addition to small animals such as rabbits and deer, there were also huge pythons entrenched. For this cold-blooded animal, Tang Monk had no sense of friendship, only the stinginess of goose bumps when it came out, so he waved to several disciples. Three bandit-like guys rushed out and rushed out. For a moment, the wolf insects fled, and the tiger and leopards fled. Tang Monk finally became quiet before his eyes, and then he continued to walk into the mountains.
Halfway through the way, Bajie covered his stomach and said to Tang Seng: "Master, my old pig is a little hungry. Let's find a place to rest and let the elder brother go to make some vegetarian meals."
Tang Seng nodded and said, "Okay, I'm really tired after walking for so long. Wukong, let's find a place to rest."
Wukong, who was opening the road in front, heard this and turned to Bajie, pulled his ear and said, "You idiot, you are hungry, why don't you go to the vegetarian food yourself?"
Tang Monk laughed and said, "If Bajie goes to Huazhai, this idiot will hide where to sleep. Wukong, you should go. You have the magic of somersault clouds, and it's very fast, let alone the elder brother."
Wukong laughed and said, "I know, Master, I'm just teasing that idiot. Master, you have a rest here first. Bajie, Sha Seng, you two protect your master here, and I'll go back."
"I understand, go quickly!" Bajie urged: "If you talk nonsense, I will lose weight if I am hungry."
Tang Seng smiled and said, "Bajie, this is a bad saying. Dieting and losing weight is ineffective. Just your stomach is enough. Just eat a meal and you will be back as old as before. Don't worry."
Bajie said: "I'm not worried. It's better if I lose weight when I'm hungry! Then I can be handsome..."
"Idiot, stop thinking about it. No matter how elegant the person is, he is still a pig's head!" After Wukong finished speaking, he smiled and started the somersault cloud and said, "It seems that there are wild peaches in the distance, so I'll go pick peaches."
As the saying goes, there must be monsters at high mountains, but the steep mountain produces spirits. Sure enough, there is a fairy on this mountain. When Wukong flies to the clouds, he startled the monster. She was in the clouds and was in the dark wind. When she saw Tang Monk sitting underground, she was so happy: "Good! Good luck! For several years, my family said that the Tang monk from Dongtu took Mahayana. He was originally the incarnation of Jinchanzi, the original body of the ten-generation practice. Someone ate his piece of meat and lived a long life. It's really here today." The fairy stepped forward and wanted to take him, but saw two generals under the elders' left and right hands, and did not dare to close his body. Bajie, although Sha Seng had no great ability, Bajie was Marshal Tianpeng and Sha Seng was a general rolling curtain, and their power had not yet been revealed, so the fairy dared not close his body openly.
After a moment of thinking, the fairy stopped the gloomy wind and landed in the mountain depression. She transformed herself into a month-like daughter. She couldn't tell the story of her beautiful eyebrows, white teeth, red lips, and a small bamboo basket with two jars in the basket. She ran from west to east and rushed straight to Tang Monk...
