Chapter 3 Alchemy with bare hands
In the dense land of the valley, Shen Zhirui sat cross-legged in front of an elixir, his whole body shrouded in an emerald green spiritual light.
I saw that the palm of his right hand was continuously taking out streams of emerald green spiritual energy and pouring it into the root of the elixir. In his left palm, he was holding a spiritual stone tightly and was absorbing the spiritual energy.
The spiritual power in the stone.
At this moment, inside Shen Zhirui's body, a flash of emerald green light had tightly wrapped his Dantian.
Through the layers of dazzling emerald light, one can be surprised to find a strange green seedling growing in his Dantian.
This seedling seemed to be rooted in the former's Dantian, with two young shoots growing on its body that was only an inch long, emitting bursts of light.
This strange green seedling is obviously Shen Zhirui’s biggest secret!
But for Shen Zhirui, he actually didn't know why this magical green seedling appeared in his Dantian for no reason. He only knew that this green seedling had taken root in his Dantian for as long as he could remember.
Got it.
Over the past ten years, he has gone from being shocked and overwhelmed at the beginning to slowly accepting it later.
And after more than ten years of exploration, Shen Zhirui gradually discovered some wonderful uses of this strange green seedling in Dantian, such as it can speed up the growth of elixirs.
In addition, he unexpectedly discovered that this seedling could greatly speed up his absorption of surrounding spiritual energy, thus further speeding up his cultivation.
Shen Zhirui originally had the extraordinary talent of having the dual spiritual roots of water and wood. Now with the help of this green seedling, he is even more powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that his cultivation level has improved by a thousand miles.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Zhirui, who has just turned eighteen, already has an astonishing seventh level of Qi training.
At the same time, Shen Zhirui also clearly understood that if the secrets about this seedling were accidentally exposed, not only himself, but even the entire family would face disaster.
After all, a common man is not guilty of carrying a jade!
Therefore, even when facing his closest clan members such as Shen Xiangchi, he did not reveal the secret about Lu Miao to them.
As for his spiritual roots and cultivation, they were also covered up with the aura of Green Miao, preventing others from seeing through them accurately.
Now among the entire family, only the patriarch Shen Xiangchi knows about Shen Zhirui's spiritual talent.
...
After an unknown amount of time, the emerald green light shrouding Shen Zhirui's body slowly dissipated, and the spirit stone in his hand turned into powder again.
"Or not..."
Shen Zhirui slowly opened his closed eyes, then frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
At this time, his surroundings were covered with powder that had been turned into after the spiritual stones were exhausted. It looked like there were no less than ten pieces of it.
I saw Shen Zhirui looking at the first-grade high-grade [Dragon Scale Fruit] in front of him, his stern face full of solemnity, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, this [Dragon Scale Fruit], which was originally only over 180 years old, had been given birth to 250 years old.
However, as the age of the medicine continued to increase, he gradually found that the effect of inducing birth was becoming less and less obvious.
Moreover, for him, the birth process is now becoming more and more strenuous, and his own spiritual power can no longer support the entire birth process.
"I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to produce a three-hundred-year-old elixir..."
Shen Zhirui looked at the [Dragon Scale Fruit] that had grown a lot in front of him and said with some frustration.
Although he had often secretly spawned elixirs in the past, most of them only spawned seedlings until they matured. At most, he only spawned elixirs that were about two hundred years old.
After all, it is not an easy task to induce the elixir to be born. The older the elixir is, the more difficult it is to induce it, and it requires more spiritual energy and longer time.
This time was his first attempt to induce the elixir to be three hundred years old. Unexpectedly, it was more difficult than he had expected.
Shen Zhirui originally thought that his cultivation at the seventh level of Qi training was enough, but now it seems that he is still far behind.
At this moment, if he wants to successfully promote this [Dragon Scale Fruit] to a medicinal age of about three hundred years, he must first break through to the eighth level of Qi training.
However, there was not much time left for him. There were still two months until the date set by the Xuanling Sect to pay tribute.
Fortunately, it has been more than a year since Shen Zhirui broke through to the seventh level of Qi training, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian has accumulated to a certain extent.
Although it may take a lot of time to achieve a breakthrough by relying on your own accumulation, it won't take that long if you use some external means.
Nowadays, the only external object that can quickly help him break through the bottleneck of the eighth level of Qi training is swallowing pills.
"It seems that the plan to refine [Xuan Yuan Dan] will be advanced..."
Shen Zhirui thought silently in his heart, then looked around again and nodded with great satisfaction.
The next moment, he took out several jade boxes from his storage bag and placed them neatly in front of him.
Looking at this posture, he actually plans to refine the [Xuan Yuan Dan] for breakthrough here on the spot!
In the understanding of most of the tribe, Shen Zhirui, as the first among the younger generation of disciples, has practiced the Shen family's ancestral planting technique, and is already a rare first-level spiritual planter in the family.
But what they didn't know was that Shen Zhirui had also secretly learned alchemy knowledge since he was a child, and now he has become a qualified alchemist.
On this side, Shen Zhirui had already opened one of the jade boxes, and lying quietly inside was a light blue first-grade elixir.
It is the [Spiral Core Grass] needed to refine [Xuan Yuan Dan], and it is also a [Spin Core Grass] that is nearly two hundred years old.
[Xuan Yuan Dan] is a first-level high-grade elixir that can very well help monks in the late stage of Qi training to practice and break through.
As for the recipe for [Xuan Yuan Dan], it is one of only three first-class, top-grade elixir recipes that the Shen family has collected over the past two hundred years.
However, currently no one in the family can refine this kind of elixir. Even the second elder Shen Xianghuan, who is already a first-level high-grade alchemist, is not sure that he can refine a qualified [Xuanling Pill].
However, now, Shen Zhirui, who is trying to refine a first-grade high-grade elixir for the first time, actually plans to refine the [Xuan Yuan Dan].
I saw that he quickly took out a burst of spiritual power, held the [Spiral Core Grass] in his hand, and then started to circulate the emerald green spiritual power in his body.
As the emerald green spiritual power slowly flowed through the [Spin Core Grass], the latter began to overflow with a stream of pure plant essence.
If there were another alchemist here at this time, it would definitely overturn his entire life's knowledge.
There is no alchemy furnace, no high-temperature flame extraction, and the essence of the plants and trees needed in the elixir can be extracted with bare hands.
This is simply incredible!
After just a few breaths of time, the plant essence in the [Spiral Core Grass] was extracted cleanly and quickly shriveled up.
When Shen Zhirui opened his palm again, a ball of pure emerald green medicinal liquid was wrapped in spiritual power and slowly floated in the air.
Next, he processed the rest of the elixir in the same way, and soon obtained several groups of pure liquid.
The next moment, Shen Zhirui's hands began to wave quickly, merging all the suspended liquid liquid together.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the valley began to gather quickly, and continued to merge into the boiling liquid.
After a while, Shen Zhirui's hands began to move closer to the boiling liquid. He quickly closed it with his palms and kept rotating and crushing it. It seemed that the elixir had already taken shape.
When he opened his palms again, five dark green pills suddenly appeared on his palms, and each pill was round in shape and attractive in color, all of which were of the highest quality.
...
Two questions:
First, the original cultivation levels are Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and divine transformation. Do we need to add a purple mansion realm between foundation building and golden elixir?
