Chapter 8 Alchemy
Shen Qingluo was not a talkative person, and the same was true for Yao Molian. The two of them were mostly silent along the way, but they didn't feel anything was wrong.

Outer disciples all receive their sect tasks in the Deacon Hall. There are many fellow disciples here. After nodding to each other, everyone goes about their business.

The tasks are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Each level of tasks is marked with recommended cultivation levels. Among them, level A has the highest risk factor and is mostly for hunting monsters. Level D is the safest and is mostly for taking care of spiritual fields and the like.

Neither Shen Qingluo nor Yao Molian had high levels of cultivation at present. A-level tasks recommended for those above the eighth level of Qi Refining were not suitable for them, and they did not consider them.

Many Level B and Level C tasks are related to the Six Arts of Cultivation.

The so-called Six Arts of Cultivation include weapon refining, alchemy, talisman making, formations, beast control and spiritual planting. Shen Qingluo has only been in Lingyun World for more than half a year. He had been practicing hard before and had no detailed contact with the Six Arts. But now he has Got some thoughts.

Yao Molian's eyes on the side also stayed on related tasks.

"I'm very interested in Formation and I'm going to take on the assignment of Formation Apprenticeship. What are Junior Sister Shen's plans?"

“There are a lot of options, but we haven’t decided yet.”

"Junior sister, do you know the six arts you are good at?"

Shen Qingluo shook his head, "I have only been practicing Taoism for a short time, and I have never tried this before."

"Well, I haven't had much contact in the past, but the intuition of us cultivators is very accurate. In my opinion, junior sister doesn't need to think too much, just choose according to your heart."

"Qing Luo understands, thank you, senior sister, for the tip."

Acting according to your heart is indeed the best way. Repeatedly weigh the pros and cons, care about some gains and losses, and often look forward and backward, resulting in unsatisfactory results.

Shen Qingluo chose to take on the task of alchemy apprentice.

After leaving the Deacon Hall, the two separated, Yao Molian went to the Formation Peak, and Shen Qingluo went to the Dan Peak.

These two peaks belong to the inner peaks of Taisheng Sect. According to common sense, outer disciples cannot enter. However, after accepting the mission, you will receive a special mission jade token. With this jade token, you can go to the corresponding inner peak without being affected by the people on the peak. Prohibition blocks.

After a stick of incense.
Shen Qingluo arrived at the foot of Danfeng Mountain. Due to the perennial elixir refining here, he could smell the fragrance of medicinal materials even before he got close. It can be said that it is the most fragrant mountain peak in the entire Taisheng Sect.

Most of the people who come and go here are inner sects and direct disciples. She is relatively conspicuous here in outer sect clothes.

Walk slowly towards the peak. If you encounter a senior from the sect coming towards you, stop your steps and salute with clasped fists.

Some people smiled back, some nodded slightly, and some walked by without squinting. All in all, the overall atmosphere was good. From a small glimpse of the big picture, it can be seen that the Taisheng Sect monks have relatively high quality.

The location where the outer disciples took the alchemy apprentice mission was near the foot of the mountain. There were several quaint buildings, with mottled cracks vaguely visible on the eaves. The age could be seen at a glance.

Before he got close to the palace gate, a white-haired old man appeared out of nowhere and stopped Shen Qingluo.

"A new disciple joining the sect?"

"Exactly."

Shen Qingluo could not see the other party's cultivation level, so he cupped his fists and saluted the old man without saying anything.

"You have pretty good qualifications. Have you ever tried alchemy before?"

"No."

"Well, then you go to the small hall in the east first. It contains a lot of basic knowledge about alchemy and some brief insights. When you have read it, come to me."

"Disciple dares to ask, has Senior been here all along, or will he look for it elsewhere when the time comes?"

"Just keep coming here and I'll know."

"Yes, disciple, please leave first."

Shen Qingluo followed the white-haired old man's advice and came to the corresponding building. He looked up and saw the word "Shi Dan" inscribed on the plaque. The door of the palace was open and it was very quiet inside. You could clearly see the monks reading the jade slips.

He stepped into the hall and looked around.

In the middle of the hall, wooden shelves made of rosewood are arranged neatly, with many jade slips or books placed on them.

There are long tables made of unknown materials placed around the walls of the hall. They are purple and red, exuding a refreshing fragrance, which has a refreshing effect.

Shen Qingluo came to the first row of wooden shelves, took out one of the jade slips and probed into his consciousness.

After a while, she put it down and took another one to check.
After that, he stayed in Shidan Palace for half a month.

After reading all the books on the jade slips, Shen Qingluo felt in his heart that it was good to be able to practice. He could live without grain for a long time. When he got tired from reading, his spiritual power would circulate for a whole day and his fatigue would disappear.

When I was a mortal before, I wouldn't have dared to think about this.

Now she has a preliminary understanding of the process of alchemy. There are people who specialize in alchemy in this world, and there are also precedents of people who have successfully ascended to the immortal world by taking this path. However, it is difficult to practice alchemy and it is easy to go astray, so the seniors who have left behind their experiences It is not recommended for latecomers to enter this path.

Shen Qingluo also had no such plan. A monk would only start to choose a path after establishing a foundation. She had a vague hunch that the path of alchemy would not be suitable for her, but this did not prevent her from learning the art of alchemy.

After leaving the Alchemy Hall, she came to the very beginning.

Not long after, the old man with white eyebrows appeared.

"We have decided, which elixirs to refine?"

"The disciple plans to refine a first-level Qi-enhancing pill to increase spiritual power, and a first-level blood coagulation pill for healing."

"Well, the choice is quite satisfactory, but it's not too ambitious. You came here on a mission. Are you clear about the requirements?"

"Clearly, there are a total of ten refining opportunities. If all of them fail, you will have to stay in Dan Peak as a handyman disciple for half a year to compensate for the loss of alchemy materials. If you succeed, no matter how many furnaces are used, the elixir will be refining." You hand over half and keep the remaining half for yourself. If you complete the task, you will get ten contribution points."

"Okay, since everything is clear, let's go to the underground fire room." The old Taoist Baimei threw out a storage bag, then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Here, have you seen the largest building? After entering, you can choose whatever you want. In an empty room, just use your mission jade token to unlock the restrictions."

"Thank you, senior, for informing me."

The building that Bai Mei Lao Tao pointed to was the Earth Fire Hall. After Shen Qingluo took the storage bag containing the alchemy materials, he quickly came to the hall. There was a large space inside, with a total of sixty Earth Fire rooms.

The doors of half of the rooms were closed, and it was obvious that there were monks inside. Shen Qingluo chose an empty room on the inside, and opened the invisible restriction with a stroke of the mission jade sign in his hand.

At this moment, a wave of heat hit the face, the ground fire was burning vigorously, the alchemy furnace hung in the air, and there were dark iron chains wrapped around the outside, extending to the surrounding walls.

Shen Qingluo took out the first refining materials for the Blood Coagulation Pill from the storage bag, carefully recalled the elixir refining steps mentioned in the jade slip, and sat down cross-legged in front of the futon.

The first step is to purify the medicinal materials, control the fire to the appropriate temperature, and pinch the exclusive recipe for alchemy with your hands to separate out all the impurities in the three materials: Coagulation Grass, Wood Huanhua, and Mulberry Lingzhi.

This process lasted for a stick of incense and was relatively smooth. The second step was to start the fusion of medicinal materials.

There is a sequence for fusion, and the heat required for fusion between different materials is also different. If you make a mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

After three sticks of incense, Shen Qingluo successfully completed the fusion of medicinal materials and began the final step of condensing the elixir.

This step still focuses on fire control, and the entire process requires mobilizing one's own fire spiritual power as a medium to guide the condensation.

Less than half a cup of tea, a burnt smell came from the stove.

Shen Qingluo frowned and stopped refining the alchemy, not too disappointed with the result.

After all, this is my first time trying to make alchemy, so failure is normal. After closing my eyes and summarizing, I took out the second set of materials and continued refining.
