Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 55: The Five Elements are in harmony with each other (please collect, read, recommend)
Seeing Su Yi in a daze, Shen Mo did not disturb him, but drank tea and waited slowly.

Su Yi was silent for half a stick of incense. When he raised his head again, his eyes were bright again.

During the period just now, he carefully weighed the current situation and finally decided to continue refining the sword pills.

At the very least, the "sword embryo" must be refined first, and the rest can be figured out later.

Shen Mo looked at Su Yi's expression. Although he knew that he had made up his mind, he still asked calmly: "Have you decided to refine sword pills?"

Su Yi nodded, no longer hesitating, there is no way to be 100% sure about things in the world, and the plan is not changing quickly, so it's better to take one step at a time.

If time proves that his previous guess is not true at all, then there is no need to take the risk of swallowing the sword pill; if the matter is critical and life is at stake, then what is the difference between dying by swallowing the sword pill and dying at the hands of others?
What's more, swallowing sword pills is only half life and death, and there is still half a chance of living.

Firm your faith, prepare early, and live towards death!
After getting a definite answer from Su Yi, Shen Mo continued to say leisurely: "Since you have made up your mind, I have a suggestion. As for whether to adopt it, you make your own decision."

"Oh, Mr. Shen, please speak!"

"Su Yi, have you ever heard of the saying that the five elements are in harmony with each other?"

Su Yi must have heard about the saying that "the five elements are in conflict". In previous lives, medicine, martial arts, and even Feng Shui and other fields all had the saying that the five elements were in conflict.

Shen Mo didn't wait for Su Yi to answer, and continued: "I have seen it in Unofficial Miscellaneous Notes, saying that swallowing the five elements sword pill at the same time can not only minimize the damage to the body, but also emit five elements sword energy mixed into one .”

"The book also records that swallowing the Five Elements Sword Pill within the Qi Sea can even increase the probability of establishing a foundation."

"Of course, since it is recorded in unofficial history, it may not be accurate. After all, there are tens of thousands of monks in the world, and there are many kinds of cultivation methods. It is indeed possible that someone has tried this."

"But it failed to become popular after all, which shows that this way of practice must have some serious drawbacks. You have to make your own decision whether you want to try this."

Shen Mo told everything he knew in one breath, then took a sip of tea.

"The method of creating and restraining the five elements." For some reason, Su Yi somewhat believed in this method, perhaps because of the inherent impression he had in his previous life.

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Shen. I have decided to refine the Five Elements Sword Pills. Please help me, sir."

Shen Mo nodded after hearing this, "I just want to explain in advance that I have never refined this sword pill before. I don't dare to say that it will be successful. I will only try my best."

Su Yi knew that Shen Mo was afraid of failure and wasting materials, so he said this in advance and said hurriedly: "That's natural. Just try your best, sir. If it fails, Su Yi will never complain at all."

"Okay." Shen Mo put down the teacup in his hand, "In that case, we need to prepare the materials next."

"About refining the sword body, that is, the alchemy base, there are nearly a hundred kinds of materials required."

"Most of these are auxiliary materials. The auxiliary materials are easy to find, but the main materials are difficult to find."

"Since you want to refine the Five Elements Sword Embryo, you must prepare five main materials. Among them, I have lapis lazuli here. You can buy it directly from me."

"The other four main materials, wood type, if you can't find other raw materials, you can dismantle a few of the set of wooden puppets I gave you, and you can still use them."

"As for the Li Crystal of the water system, the Lightning Strike Wood of the fire system, and the Heavy Yuan Earth of the earth system, you need to find them all."

"As for those auxiliary materials, I will look for them, and then you can buy them at the price."

Su Yi didn't expect Shen Mo to be so considerate, and said happily: "Sir, you really helped me a lot. It's hard to express my gratitude. If you use me, Su Yi, in the future, please feel free to say so."

Shen Mo nodded, "We'll talk about the future later, so just go ahead and prepare the main ingredients. When they're ready, we'll start."

Su Yi thanked him again and left.

On the way home, Su Yi kept thinking about the main materials for refining the sword body.Shen Mo helped solve the problem with lapis lazuli. The last time he refined the flying boat, it was lapis lazuli provided by Shen Mo, so he should have his own purchase channel.

Gold-based materials are divided into seven types: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Purple gold is the highest grade and red gold is the lowest. The red gold produced by several Yanjin mines nearby is red gold. To put it bluntly, it is a gold-based ore.

And above the purple gold is the spiritual stone.

Spiritual stones are no longer a single gold-based ore, but belong to the category of "alloys". For example, spiritual stones are divided into wood-based spiritual stones, gold-based spiritual stones, etc., which are roughly mixed during the formation process. Spiritual objects containing other attributes.

Therefore, theoretically, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone can also be absorbed by monks, but it is not suitable for absorption by monks because it is too complex and the content is not enough.

Spiritual stones are divided into ordinary spiritual stones, medium-grade spiritual stones, and high-grade spiritual stones.

When it comes to the top-grade spiritual stones, the situation is different. In the top-grade spiritual stones, attribute spiritual objects account for the main part. In other words, the top-grade spiritual stones are suitable for monks to directly absorb the spiritual energy in them.

Therefore, the premium of the best spiritual stones is very high. Ordinary monks cannot afford them and rarely hold them.

Speaking of lapis lazuli, it ranks third among gold-based materials. It is already a relatively valuable material and can be used to refine sword bodies.

When the wood materials were available, Su Yi was not going to destroy the wooden puppet that Shen Mo gave him. He had another material.

After returning home, Su Yi took out a piece of dead wood about a foot long from the storage bag.

This small piece of dead wood was the core of the thousand-year-old willow wood that Song Qianqian possessed. Later, Song Qianqian's soul was destroyed, and without the support of illusion, this piece of dead wood changed back to its original shape.

Previously, Lu Guangtian said that he was going to start a new life and was going to pursue Su Lihua. He was afraid that Su Yi would not believe it, so he gave Su Yi this small piece of dead wood he brought back from the East China Sea.

Lu Guangtian no longer has any obsession with Chunxiang, and there is no need to keep this thousand-year-old willow core.

Su Yi naturally didn't know that he would refine the sword embryo later, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

The two systems of gold and wood are finally solved.

As for the water element Li Crystal, Su Yi also has this object in his hand, but it is not his, but belongs to his apprentice Song Qian.

When Lu Guangtian returned from the East China Sea, he gave Su Yi two storage bags, one of which Song Qianqian promised to use for trading.

The other one was originally reserved for Song Qian. Chunxiang was originally given to Lu Guangtian for safekeeping, but later Lu Guangtian gave it to Su Yi. After all, Su Yi was Song Qian's master.

Now Su Yi is going to ask his apprentice Song Qian. The Li crystal is very big. Can he cut off a small piece in exchange? Song Qian can just tell him what he wants in exchange.

There are still two elements: fire and earth.

Fire lightning strikes wood.

The soil element is heavy on earth.

Zhongyuan Tusu Yi didn't have it in his hands, but he knew there was one somewhere. How to get it required careful planning.

As for the final lightning strike on the tree, Su Yi was really embarrassed.

Not only does he not have this thing in hand, he also doesn't even have the information.

There was only one place he could think of, and it was still unclear whether he could get it in the end...
