Longevity begins with alchemy

Chapter 57

Are there contraband in the world of cultivation?

Naturally, there are some. For example, one of the raw materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill is contraband.

The main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill is called "Seven Treasures Lotus", which has a characteristic, that is, it has the power of "desolation".

During the growth process of each "Seven Treasure Lotus", it will grab the spiritual energy of the earth veins within a radius of several feet, causing the ground at its roots to split, desertify, and finally become a barren land.

For example, if the Seven Treasure Lotus is planted in the location of the first-level spiritual veins, the underground spiritual veins will disappear within a few decades or up to a hundred years.

Because of this, there are strict regulations for the cultivation of Seven Treasure Lotus. These regulations are recognized by the cultivation world and are supervised and implemented by the largest sect within the scope.

So, can I plant the Seven Treasure Lotus in my family’s hometown? According to regulations, it’s not allowed.

Because although nominally the land containing spiritual veins belongs to your family, in fact the family is not long-lasting and may be destroyed at any time, while "that land" is eternal.

If a certain family is destroyed, the sect will allocate "that piece of land" to other people who want to establish a family, so naturally they will not be allowed to "fish all the water".

In this way, the largest sect in the area will be responsible for selecting plots to plant the "Seven Treasure Lotus", and will naturally be responsible for distributing the "Building Foundation Pill".

The Foundation Establishment Pill is undoubtedly very important whether it is for the sect, family or casual cultivators. Mastering the Foundation Establishment Pill also ensures the integrity of the sect's rights to a certain extent.

If you don't listen to me, then I won't give you the Foundation Building Pill, which will starve you for several years or generations, whether you are a casual cultivator or a family.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this that conflicts are inevitable. I don't know how many monks who have completed the ninth level of Qi training and whose lifespan is about to expire, are eager to continue their lives with the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill to build a foundation is not the most perfect way, it is really delicious to increase one hundred years of life out of thin air.

Besides, when people are about to die, it is important to build the foundation first.

Su Yi had been looking forward to building the foundation for a long time and had obtained the recipe for the foundation building pill very early, so he still knew more about it.

According to some unofficial records he had read, in the beginning, the so-called ancient times, there were no messy regulations.

At that time, there was abundant spiritual energy in the world, and any monk could basically build a foundation.

But since the passage between heaven and earth was closed, the spiritual energy from the upper world no longer pours into this world. The monks here can only rely on the spiritual energy escaping from the earth's veins to practice. The originally inexhaustible resources have become non-renewable resources, so they have to formulate relevant regulations. Provisions.

As for the "passage between heaven and earth" and "upper realm", there is no record in the book. Su Yi guessed that it was probably the place he went to after ascension.

Of course, these have little to do with Su Yi now, because he can't think that far either.

As a young monk who has not really entered the threshold of cultivation, all he can think about now is how to find the remaining two main ingredients for refining sword pills.

No, if you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

Liang Liping sent the raw materials for refining the Foundation Building Pill, which gave Su Yi hope.

Su Yi knew that Bai Xiu must have obtained these ingredients from within the Luoxia Sect, but he didn't care.

Whether Bai Xiu was doing this because he wanted to take advantage of others or to line his own pockets had little to do with Su Yi.

And he can use this opportunity to intercept some of the foundation-building pills, and Bai Xiu will not know about it, because with his golden finger, the number of completed pills is already higher than that of other alchemists.

Su Yi believes that the Su family in Jinfeng Valley must have a need for Foundation Establishment Pills, and every family has a need for Foundation Establishment Pills.

For the Su family, the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill is not at all lower than that of Chongyuan Earth, or it may be higher than it. In this way, Su Yi has a bargaining chip.

What needs to be done now is to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although Su Yi had never refined a foundation-building pill before, he was not worried at all that he would not be able to refine it.

With the help of Golden Finger, in theory, as long as the raw materials are enough, he can refine any elixir, and eventually produce the best elixir.

Having made up his mind, Su Yi walked directly into the alchemy room.He touched the storage bracelet with his left hand, and a pill furnace about a foot high appeared in the air.

This alchemy furnace looks like a golden toad, with its head raised to swallow the sky. It looks very delicate.

This is still the one Lu Guangtian bought for him, and Su Yi hasn't changed it for several years.

Su Yi stretched out his hand, and the Golden Toad Pill Furnace enlarged to about three feet in the air and landed on the ground.

Then Laisu Yi took out several kinds of spiritual firewood from the storage bracelet, mixed them together and ignited them.

Suitable spiritual firewood can reduce the mana consumption when refining elixirs, otherwise it would be too expensive to use mana alone to amplify the flames.

After Su Yi controlled the flame temperature to be constant, he began to put the raw materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill into the pill furnace one by one for refining and purification.

After so many years of practice, alchemy is now as instinctive to Su Yi as eating and drinking. Even if he does not rely on golden fingers, he can be called a master of alchemy on his own.

But even with Su Yi's skills, he still failed when refining the first batch of foundation-building pills.

When purifying a certain raw material, the flame temperature should be too high, causing the raw material to coke.

The reason why he failed was not only because it was Su Yi's first time refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also because it was his first time refining a second-order elixir.

Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-order elixir.

In the past, Su Yi refined all the first-order elixirs, or commonly known as ordinary elixirs.

As the level of the elixir increases, the difficulty of refining it also increases, which is normal.

But it doesn't matter if it fails. Bai Xiu brought these to him to practice his skills. Besides, there are more than one batch of raw materials.

Brush brush!
Su Yi didn't stop, and poured herbs one by one into the alchemy furnace. He had already been able to distribute the mana in his body very well, and with the increase in the number of alchemy, his spirit seemed to be growing slowly.

So now, even if he continues to refine for several days and nights, he will not feel any fatigue. Of course, this has a lot to do with the improvement of his cultivation.

Cultivation and Taoism are the activities of the trinity of essence, Qi and Shen. There is a saying that "those who eat Qi will live longer as gods". This is the truth.

In other words, practitioners, both physically and spiritually, are much stronger than ordinary people.

As all the spiritual materials were refined, Su Yi began to put a batch of foundation-building pill raw materials into the pill furnace, mix and smelt without stopping.

After touching about half a stick of incense, Su Yi suddenly waved his hand below to extinguish the flames in the alchemy furnace. Then he moved his upper hand to open the lid of the alchemy furnace.

He looked up and saw ten khaki elixir resting on the bottom of the furnace.

The reason why it shows an earthy yellow color is because it is a furnace of foundation-building pills with earth attributes. For example, those with water attributes will appear light blue, and those with wood attributes will be turquoise.

Su Yi was not surprised to refine the foundation-building pill into a pill. What surprised him was that there was actually a top-quality foundation-building pill with four pill patterns in the pill.

The first time he refined it, a top-quality elixir came out. This was an affirmation of his alchemy skills!

On his system panel, the refining level of the Foundation Establishment Pill has also changed to (1/1000), which means he has already started.

Su Yi carefully held the top-grade foundation-building pill in his hand and looked at it for a while, thinking a little in his heart.

He was going to give this elixir to Shao Juan. He had doubted her for a moment before, and he felt a little guilty for that.

After all, they are a couple who have been sharing the same bed for several years, but they actually have such thoughts. It’s really...

Then use this elixir as a small compensation. Even if she doesn't need to take it in the future, it can also be used as a small gift.

Of course, he didn't want to give it away now. Su Yi couldn't reveal the secret of quickly refining elixirs, not even to Shao Juan.
