Chapter 96 Alchemy
Alchemy
The sun and the moon rotate, and a few days have passed in a blink of an eye.
On the mountainside of Danqing Peak, there is a cave hidden among several clusters of flowers and trees. This is where the cave of Anle is located.
From the outside of the cave, you can see a hot fire coming out from time to time.
In the depths of the cave, there is a limited space. In the elixir room with four stone walls, there is a black body and a simple tripod cover. There are countless strange birds and monsters engraved on the side of the tripod. The shape is simple, and the three-legged furnace tripod suspended in mid-air.
Under the black furnace tripod, there is a black square altar on the ground. The surface of the square altar is densely arranged with small holes like a honeycomb, and the cyan fire from the inside of Danqing Peak emerges from the small hole, constantly baking a black stove.
It has been burned by the ground fire for a long time, and the interior of the furnace tripod has been burned red. It emitted bursts of hot smoke.
At this moment, Lin Xiao is the only one in the Dan room.
Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on a futon, with a five-square jade box in front of him. The lid of the box was fully opened, revealing the neat alchemy materials inside.
Today is the day when Lin Xiao and Anle made an appointment to help with alchemy. Anle went out for some reason. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to borrow the elixir room and began to practice refining a simple elixir. After all, only by repeatedly testing the elixir can he further improve his alchemy skills.
What Lin Xiao wants to refine today is a 'menting elixir', which can quickly supplement the spiritual power consumed in the monk's body. Practice with tonic elixir. First, the materials are not too expensive and affordable to consume. Second, although these elixirs are already a major road to cultivate the immortal world, Lin Xiao has not been able to successfully refine 100% of the tonic elixir. When he can really refine it into a tonic elixir at will, his own alchemy will also improve accordingly. One floor.
The practice of alchemy is very complicated, but the steps of alchemy are simple and clear. It is divided into several steps: oven, feed, palm fire, air intake and Ladan.
The so-called oven is to let the Dan furnace burn on the fire and fully preheat the Dan furnace.
The feeding is to classify and put the materials into the Dan furnace according to the needs of Dan.
The two steps of palm fire and air intake are carried out alternately. These two steps are also the most critical steps of alchemy. The monks need to accurately control the prosperity of the fire with their divine knowledge and spiritual power, and guide the formation of the golden elixir by injecting spiritual power into the elixir furnace.
The last step is Ladan. After Jindan is formed and stable, it should be pulled out of the Dan furnace as soon as possible. Earlier, Jindan has not been formed and its medicinal effect is insufficient. Later, the elixir will be overheated and broken. Therefore, Ladan's proficiency largely determines whether the alchemist can harvest more elixir in a alchemy process.
Generally, by watching whether the alchemist's timing is accurate, they can judge the level of the alchemist's level.
Since Lin Xiaoqing's spiritual formula approached Dacheng, I don't know why, not only has he improved the medicinal sensitivity of the material a lot, but also made rapid progress in judging the fire time of the elixir and determining the timing of Ladan. Four times the ten judgments were accurate. This is also one of the reasons why Anle value him so much.
Lin Xiao saw that the Dan furnace was almost ready, so he reached out and pointed to the piles of materials. Those materials were stirred by the mana in Lin Xiao's body and flew up one after another, and flew into the alchemy furnace in a certain amount and order according to his mind.
After the material completely entered the furnace tripod, the tripod cover automatically closed. Lin Xiao hit the earth altar under the black elixir furnace. The holes on the altar began to slowly rotate, and the ground fire from the mouth of the cave also became bright and dark with the rotation of the altar...
I don't know how long it took, but I only heard a dense explosion in the furnace tripod! Lin Xiao was shocked and hurriedly reached out to play a trick to the furnace tripod. The lid of the tripod was raised, and a pile of dark ashes slowly rose from the furnace tripod, emitting an unpleasant burning smell.
Lin Xiao sighed when he saw this, "The firepower is a little fierce, but it's a pity."
He waved his hand, and the ashes automatically floated down in a corner of the room.
Lin Xiaoxian took out a bottle of tonic elixir from the storage ring on his middle finger, poured a few tonic elixir and ate it. He supplemented his spiritual power by absorbing the energy, and sat still for a long time. After his spiritual power recovered, he cheered up again and reached out to the pile of materials again. Grab the material...
It was not until the third time that Lin Xiao was refined into a tonic elixir. But even the finished elixir in this furnace has refined more than 30 waste elixir, and finally there are only more than a dozen dark red tonic elixirs left.
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. Now that you have practiced a furnace of elixir today, it's not too late to take a few days off to summarize some experience and continue to open the furnace in the future. Lin Xiao then stopped alchemy, took back the furnace tripod, and encapsulated these dozen tonic elixirs in his bottle and put them together with the original elixir.
After Lin Xiao finished packing up the remaining materials in front of him, the ground fire on the altar that had lost its spiritual guidance also automatically extinguished, and the black furnace tripod that had been suspended on the altar also fell to the ground.
Only the night pearl embedded in the stone wall of the whole Danfang room emits a faint light.
Lin Xiao waited for a long time, but Anle still did not appear. He thought for a moment and suddenly released all the things in the right hand storage ring.
Except for some crystals, a rune jade slip, a cyan mirror, and a incomplete bronze tripod, there is only one green jade spiritual sword in front of Lin Xiao, a second-grade Qingfeng charm, a total of hundreds of spiritual charms left by Wang Laowu, a bottle of tonic elixir, and a pile of other messy seven Bad symbols and some alchemy materials.
These are the full possessions that Lin Xiao now has. Since he was able to open the storage ring, Lin Xiao has been a little rich, but in order to improve his alchemy level, he also spent a lot of crystals. And most of them are invested in supplementing the materials needed for alchemy and the purchase of character materials.
Alchemy is to make a living in the future, while making runes is to further enhance your self-preservation ability.
Since he began to come into contact with immortals, Lin Xiao has always felt the feeling of self-angerousness. Although everything is going well now, if he is a little careless, he will end up disappearing in the future. For example, Qingming and Wang Laowu are green pine, which are living examples.
With the further enhancement of his strength, Lin Xiao also increasingly feels that the law of the jungle is the cultivation of immortals.
However, after all, Lin Xiao's mana cultivation is so weak that he can't even condense the sea of gas, so there is no way to learn some profound Taoism at all. To have combat effectiveness quickly, he can only hope that he does not have high requirements for mana.
The charm is naturally not as powerful as spiritual weapons, but compared with some ordinary spell spells, the charm is superior in terms of casting speed and power.
is also a kind of fireball technique. Maybe a monk in the realm of Taoism can only release three or four fireballs in an instant, but a first-class fireball charm can release two high-temperature fireballs in an instant. Moreover, the spell damage caused by some advanced runes is no less than the spells performed by monks above the general fetal realm.
The advantages of the rune are so obvious that it is naturally the first choice for monks with low cultivation such as Lin Xiao. However, except for the support of some monks of the great faction, there is no need to worry about the source of the symbol materials. Generally, monks with limited income dare not spend too much crystal on making runes. After all, no matter how powerful the Fu urn is, it is also a consumable. When it is used up, it will be gone, and the white crystal will eventually be lost.
Therefore, most monks will choose to buy runes from others, and it is quite rare for Lin Xiao to explore their own runes.
"Spend money like water. It seems that my comfortable days are over, and I have to find a way to earn some crystals."
Lin Xiao sighed, waved his right hand, shot a blue light from the ring of his right hand, and put the things on the ground back into the storage ring.
Before long, familiar footsteps suddenly came from outside the Dan room.
Lin Xiao looked up and saw Anle's big chubby face squinting at himself.
"You're late." Lin Xiao said lightly.
Anle waved his hand, "I can't help it. Master Yang Kuan just came back. A large number of our disciples celebrated the triumphant return of Big Brother and drank two more cups."
Anle walked into the Dan room as he spoke.
He glanced at the alchemy furnace and asked strangely, "Did you alchemy just now?"
Lin Xiao nodded, "I tried to refine a furnace of tonic elixir, but I could only get more than a dozen elixir."
"A dozen are good. At your age, I didn't even know how to use the alchemy furnace!" Anle said with a smile, and then suddenly patted himself on the back of the head, "Oh, by the way, there may be something I need your help. Don't alchemy today, go and help me go to Fairy Street!" There are some materials for you to buy for me. By the way, I will send a batch of elixirs that I have recently refined for 'Jin Danju' in Xianjie.
Lin Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you used to ask Changsheng to run errands for you? Why did you ask me to go today?
An Le shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not that I don't call him, but I can't call him. You don't know that Changsheng was dragged by Qingying's little sister to attend Yang Kuan's celebration party today and said nothing to let him come back with me."
Lin Xiao smiled and stood up, "Okay, I'll run for you."
An Le patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Lin is still reliable!"
After he finished speaking, he handed a storage ring to Lin Xiao. "The list of materials to buy and crystals and more than ten bottles of elixir I refined for Jindanju were put in the ring."
Lin Xiao picked up the ring, and after observing it, he nodded, "Then I'll go now, hoping to come back at night."
"Oh, by the way, Brother Anle, I borrowed the 'golden-eyed giant eagle' outside your cave as a mount, right?" Lin Xiao walked to the door of Danfang and suddenly turned around and asked.
Anle waved his hand when he heard the words, "Bring it over there!" But don't lose it for me, or you can wait to work hard for me for ten years to pay off the debt!"
