The Path of Immortals

Chapter 30 The Best Elixir

After returning from the incense burner peak, Zhao Di flew to the White Deer Pavilion almost every day. There are countless strange deeds and wonderful material skills in the immortal world over the past tens of thousands of years. Zhao Di is very interested in these, and he also wants to find a clue about the universe and the ancient Chinese characters in the classics. In addition, he really didn't dare to take out the small tripod to cultivate the elixir in the stone house, so he simply spent most of his time in the White Deer Pavilion.

The White Deer Pavilion, also known as the White Deer Cave, is built in a natural cave on the White Deer Peak. It occupies almost half of the whole peak, which is much wider than the whole Newcomer Valley.

Unfortunately, only the first floor of Bailu Pavilion is open to outside disciples, and the second floor is only open to inside disciples or foundation-building monks.

However, the number of books on the first floor is also very amazing, with more than tens of thousands. Half of them are made of jade slips, and some of them are recorded on paper or animal skin scarves.

Although Zhao Di has the ability to never forget, even if he reads them at a glance, these books are enough for him to read for a year and a half.

After a few days of casual reading, Zhao Di divided the first layer of books into four categories.

One is the book of basic skills. There are thousands of books and more than a hundred kinds of basic skills during the refining period, and there are even several kinds of spiritual roots. There are more than a dozen basic skills that Zhao Di saw in Liuyunfang City, which are all in the Bailu Pavilion. It is worthy of being a famous school. After thousands of years of accumulation, even the basic skills are so comprehensive.

But these basic skills are of little use to Zhao Di. The "The Secret of Chasing Waves" he has learned now is a basic skill that has been passed down for more than a thousand years, has been repeatedly proved, and has been practiced relatively quickly. He will definitely not do the stupid thing of changing the basic skill practice. Although there are many basic skills here, the most suitable ones for most monks to practice are just the most widely circulated.

This kind of book was put aside immediately after just reading the beginning.

The second category is books that introduce various common materials, elixirs, scenic spots and other information. There are a lot of such books, but there are quite a lot of duplicates between each book. Zhao Di just picked more than a dozen books to read in detail, and ignored the rest.

The third category is books that introduce the skills of rune, refinery, alchemy, formation, etc. This kind of book is at least, only more than 100, and they are all recorded very roughly. However, these things are the most practical. Zhao Di studied them one by one.

The fourth category of books are all biographical anecdotes. It is a classic written by some immortals about all kinds of anecdotes and strange things encountered in their practice and comments on certain things. These books have the largest number and the most cluttered content. But it is the one that Zhao Di sees the most.

Among them, an ancient jade slip named "Wang Lun Lun Dan" especially attracted Zhao Di's attention. This is a monk named Wang Lun, who wrote some books about the efficacy of several elixirs ten thousand years ago. More than a dozen elixirs mentioned in Yujian are unheard of by Zhao Di, and I'm afraid they have long disappeared in the immortal world. However, Wang Lun's grading of the elixir in the jade slip deeply attracted Zhao Di.

In this jade slip, Wang Lun divides the elixir into four grades: waste elixir, defective elixir, finished elixir and the best elixir.

The so-called waste elixir is a toxic elixir produced by a great mistake in alchemy, causing changes in medicinal properties, and must not be taken. The second-grade elixir is an elixir pill that is poorly mastered during alchemy or the opening time is not accurately controlled, resulting in the loss of medicinal properties. The second-grade elixir has almost no effect, and taking too much of it will make the monk's body have a certain resistance to drugs, which is also a kind of elixir that is not very useful.

As for the finished elixir, it is a panacea in the usual sense.

The grading methods of these elixirs are generally consistent with what Manager Zhang of "Miaodantang" in Liuyunfang City said, but Wang Lun also proposed another elixir - the best elixir, which scared Zhao Di.

According to the jade slip, it is rumored that when the ancient monks refined the elixir, if the elixir raw material used is long and the medicinal properties are excellent, there is a very low probability of refining a best elixir, which is about less than one in ten thousand. Only those specialized alchemists who only refine one or two elixirs in their lifetime have the opportunity to refine tens of thousands of the same elixirs, so that they may see the generation of the best elixir in their lifetime. The vast majority of alchemists do not know the existence of the best elixir at all, let alone ordinary monks.

Wang Lun also described the so-called best elixir in the jade slip: it is full of spiritual power, several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary finished elixir, and the elixir is also relatively transparent and translucent.

Zhao Di was shocked. The description of this best elixir is very consistent with the elixir cultivated by his mysterious little tripod. Did he get the best elixir?

It is also recorded in the jade slip that Wang Lun himself has never taken the best elixir, but he heard that the monks who have taken this kind of elixir said that because the best elixir contains too much spiritual power, it is really a waste if it is only used to improve his cultivation. This rare elixir is very effective for monks to break through the bottleneck. If such a best elixir is used when breaking through the bottleneck, the possibility of success is greatly mentioned.

Zhao Di nodded secretly in his heart. What the monk recorded ten thousand years ago coincided with what he thought. When he took the best elixir cultivated by Xiaoding, he rarely encountered a bottleneck. Usually, as long as the spiritual power is enough, you can smoothly advance to the next level. Because of this, he was able to practice from the fifth floor of the gas refining period to the eleventh floor in just over three years. If it were another monk, the bottleneck of the tenth floor alone may be stuck for two or three years and the cultivation cannot be made.

Since he has affirmed the magical effect of the best elixir, Zhao Di has adjusted the order of taking the elixir in the future. He intends to take the ordinary elixir promoted from the inferior elixir as much as possible to improve his cultivation. When it is necessary to hit the bottleneck and break through the next level of cultivation, he will take the In order to avoid taking too much of the best elixir at ordinary times, but when hitting the bottleneck, the so-called drug resistance is generated, and the opportunity to break through is missed in vain.

When Zhao Di entered the school for almost a month, he received a notice from the sect and was assigned as a refinery disciple, and asked him to immediately go to Zhao Yinfeng to report to Uncle Kuang.

"The old man Ma still has credit, and he really did things properly after receiving the spiritual stone." Zhao Di thought of this on the way to Zhaoyin Peak. Zhao Di is still very welcome for this kind of direct exchange of interests, which is much better to deal with than those hypocrites who are duplicitous and secretly play tricks. However, the number of the latter is much more.

After Zhao Di flew for a few hours, as soon as he arrived near Zhaoyin Peak, which was wrapped in thick clouds and fog, he was attracted by Zhaoyin Spring, the symbol of Zhaoyin Peak. This is a spiritual spring formed by countless streams between the mountain walls at the foot of Zhaoyin Peak. It is also one of the three spiritual springs in the Kuanglu Mountains. It is famous for its crystal jade-like water quality and pure taste. There are several lush spiritual tea trees around the spiritual spring, which is the famous cloud and fog spiritual tea in the spiritual tea. There is a delicate four-corner pavilion next to the spiritual spring, and occasionally there are monks who love the way of tea drinking. They gather here in twos and threes to boil cloud and fog spiritual tea with the hidden spring water. While tasting the tea, they are also free and happy.

Zhao Dijian saw that there were already two gas refining monks waiting here in the pavilion, and it was estimated that they were also outside disciples assigned as refiners.

One of them, Zhao Di, also knew Ma Gao, who put forward the statement of "the four immortal cultivation families of Taixumen" on the same day.

Ma Gao also recognized Zhao Di and said hello from afar. Zhao Di immediately landed next to the pavilion and put away the flying feather magic weapon.

"Brother Zhao, have you also been sent as a refinery disciple?" After giving a salute, Ma Gao asked.

Zhao Di also saluted the two monks and replied, "Yes, both Taoist friends are the same, right?"

"Ha ha, this shows that we are predestined, and we must support each other in the future! Brother Zhao, this is Fang Fu's Taoist friend. Brother Fang, this is Zhao Di and Zhao Daoyou. Ma Gao introduced the two of them.

Zhao Di and the Fang monk also held their fists and saluted each other, saying that they were lucky to meet each other.

Ma Gao added: "I arrived a moment earlier than my two Taoist friends, and I have sent out the notes. Presumably after a while, there will be a channel open, allowing the three of us to enter this hidden peak. This hidden peak is worthy of being the alchemy of this gate. This large-scale forbidden array that covers the whole peak is opened all year round. It is said that even the monks of the elixir period cannot easily break through the array.

The three of them looked at the thick clouded mountain in front of them, thinking about each other and were speechless for a moment.
