Family cultivation: I am the reincarnation of an ancestor

Chapter 23: The remaining recipe lacks the main ingredient, making it difficult to repair and improve.

Everyone moved to the Zhang Family Alchemy Pavilion.

Zhang Zhengyi activated all the forbidden formations in the Alchemy Pavilion, and then slowly unfolded the tiger skin scroll with the remaining recipe of the Foundation Establishment Pill printed on it under the gaze of everyone.

A dazzling golden light flashed past, as if opening an unknown door behind it.

The alchemists of various schools finally saw the true face of the alchemy in Lushan.

Yan Lingyu looked closely and saw that the unfolded scroll was not big and was floating in thin air. There were many small characters arranged on it. These small characters exuded a bright white light, making people unable to take their eyes away:
"Tianqingcao, two coins."

"Pingfeng Yurong fruit, one."

"Silver bamboo, one inch."

"Purple gold and long bright wood, three coins."

"..."

The small characters are magical, as if they have a spirit. They can feel the gaze of others. Wherever they look, the small characters will become larger on their own for easy reference.

Soon, everyone frowned and discovered where Can Fang was.

It turned out that for some reason, the upper right corner of this tiger skin was missing a piece. By coincidence, this corner happened to have refining materials written on it.

Because it is written from right to left, and judging from the order of the small characters, what is missing is the main ingredient at the top!
In an instant, there were sighs in the hall.

Several alchemists finally understood why the Zhang family couldn't make up the remaining prescription after spending 200 years of hard work.

With this residual formula, it is too difficult to perfect the foundation-building elixir formula.

In this world, there are tens of thousands of kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. To find the missing one among so many spiritual materials is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Refining alchemy requires a cost calculation. If one furnace is wasted, that is the loss of one furnace of spiritual stones.

Therefore, it is impossible to try them one by one.

If you want to develop a complete elixir and make up for all the elixirs, you can only start from the pharmacological aspect.

For example, Tianqingcao has the effect of activating blood circulation and strengthening muscles. Its medicinal properties are mild, neutral and not bitter. At the same time, it can enhance human body quality in a short period of time, similar to a stimulant.

Why is it included in the prescription of Foundation Establishment Pill?
This is also easy to understand. A monk builds a foundation, concentrates mentally, and has to go through the impact of infusing the body with true energy. If the body cannot support it, it is destined to fail, so a body-protecting elixir like Tianqingcao is needed.

The medicinal properties of Tianqingcao conflict with the sixteen-flavored spiritual materials such as Earth Blue Flower, and the two cannot be refined together. This can rule out the possibility that the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe contains Earth Blue Flower and other spiritual materials.

Tianqingcao and Zijin Changmingmu mutually promote each other, making the effect of one plus one greater than two. This is why it is not difficult to explain why there is Zijin Changmingmu in the elixir.

Many spiritual materials are used as auxiliary medicines because of their auxiliary effects.

Researching new elixirs or improving old elixirs is usually done step by step with the help of pharmacology, and then the elixirs can be improved by trying to refine them.

Several alchemists looked at each other and understood the seriousness of this task.

Yan Jie said aloud: "I need to borrow the Zhang family's pharmacological classics."

Pharmacological classics are books compiled by predecessors after careful research on various spiritual materials and classifying their properties.

There are many pharmacological classics circulating in the world, which complement each other, including "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Hundred Gold Mirror", "Qianshui Benmu", etc.

As a qi-training monk, his memory does not reach the point of photographic memory, and much pharmacological knowledge can only be read in classics.

"Yes." Zhang Zhengyi agreed.

Immediately, several members of the Zhang family moved books down from the attic.

The alchemists wiped away the sweat on their foreheads and began to study the remaining prescriptions.

...Three days have passed, and there is still no progress in the Foundation Establishment Pill Fang matter.

In the main hall of the Zhang Family Alchemy Hall, Zhang Zhengyi was the only one standing alone.

Because deducing the elixir is extremely labor-intensive and can easily be affected by external objects, the Zhang family has prepared an alchemy room for each alchemist so that they can study the elixir without any distractions.

There is also a large alchemy room for many people to study.

Of course, in order to prevent the alchemists from making unnecessary moves, Zhang family monks were naturally watching.

At this time, there was no trace of emotion on Zhang Zhengyi's face.

He understood that it was just the beginning, and these alchemists were still in the stage of researching basic pharmacology. It was impossible for anyone to figure it out quickly, unless the Alchemy God was reincarnated.

The old man looked at one of the alchemy rooms. The alchemist there was Yan Lingqing of the Yan family.

In the former's opinion, this kid is the most likely to complete the mission in this trip, regardless of his young age.

In the final analysis, alchemy, or the various arts of cultivation including cultivation, is about talent.

There are a total of 11 alchemists present, one each from the Bai family and the Lu family; two from the Tiger Clan; one alchemy master and one alchemist from the Zhang family; two state leaders; and three from the Yan family (in Zhang Zhengyi’s opinion, Yan Lingyu is It’s a top-up, since the consumables are provided by the Yan family anyway, and the Zhang family will play with the Yan family).

Among them, only Yan Lingqing and Zhang Qizhao were able to "gather into shape" for the first time. The other alchemists gradually became alchemists through years of exploration.

Therefore, these two people are the most talented.

Talented people, who have a quick mind, are attuned to the mysteries, and have an innate sensitivity to alchemy and spiritual materials, may be able to win the favor of heaven and find the correct solution to the elixir.

Zhang Qizhao, who has been studying for eighty years, has not made any progress, so he can only place his hope on Yan Lingqing.

Therefore, the number of Zhang family members who monitor Yan Lingqing is also the largest.

In Bing'er's alchemy room, Yan Lingqing's brows were furrowed and his face looked haggard. Three days and three nights of non-stop study and deduction made him physically and mentally exhausted.

But Yan Lingqing still gritted his teeth and persisted. In the sea of ​​consciousness, various spiritual materials flickered and changed.

He understands the importance of the Foundation Building Pill to the entire Yan family. Not only that, he also has a dream of building a Foundation. He is not qualified and can only rely on the Foundation Building Pill to build a foundation.

The family's foundation-building pills are limited and can only be supplied to members of the clan who are more hopeful. If Yan Lingqing wants to get the foundation-building pills, he has to find a way.

"It's too difficult, it's too difficult. After laying out the pharmacology of all spiritual materials clearly, subtracting those with conflicting medicinal properties, and then screening those with superimposed medicinal properties, after this layer of selection, there are still nearly 20 spiritual materials that seem to fit. "

"It seems like every flavor of these spiritual materials can be used as a main medicine. How is this possible?"

"Bahuara wood, colorful coral flowers, glazed river soil, Xuanming ice, and bamboo... I have a feeling that the main medicine is among these things, but which one is it? I must be somewhere else I was negligent, and I will find a way to filter out a few flavors to reduce the cost of subsequent trial production. There is still time, Lingqing, don’t be in a hurry, you can do it.”

Yan Lingqing was thinking hard and encouraging herself.

He was so focused that he didn't even touch the spiritual food sent by the Zhang family. His lips were slightly dry and he only had a pair of bright black eyes.

the other side.

In the alchemy room of Bingsi, Yan Lingyu upheld the attitude that people are like rice and steel. She took two mouthfuls of spiritual rice into her mouth, and her behavior could be described as unruly.

Seeing this, the Zhang family members on the side had a hint of disdain in their eyes.

After chewing it gently, Lingmi swallowed it, and a strong fragrance penetrated Yan Lingyu's body along his esophagus.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

Silently fall into meditation, trying to catch the inspiration that suddenly appears.
