Chapter 30 Alchemy 1
Dawn broke, and the camp was quiet. There was no sound of burying pots for cooking or preparing tools. Everyone looked anxiously in the direction of Luohun Valley.

Finally a figure appeared.

"It's great that you're back." The uncle said happily, but suddenly he froze there, because he saw that the black iron umbrella cover Xie Xiaoyu was carrying was already tattered.

Others were also stunned.

"It almost killed me, it's too dangerous." Xie Xiaoyu threw the broken umbrella on the ground: "You should all practice at home these few days, the valley may not be peaceful, there may be monsters running out. "

"Are you okay?" Aunt Li asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'm going to sleep for a while." Xie Xiaoyu took off the grass bag tied around his waist, and threw it to Master Su: "You help me process it first, grind it into powder, Then filter out the impurities. There is also a box underneath, which contains grass with roots, you try to see it, if it survives, it will be great."

Su Mingcheng took the things with bright eyes. At this moment, he was completely convinced by Xie Xiaoyu's demeanor. If it were him, he would have hidden all of these immediately without telling anyone.

He also understood the reason why Xie Xiaoyu didn't care, even if he knew it was medicine, it was useless, because he didn't know how to make alchemy, and it was Xie Xiaoyu himself who knew how to make alchemy.

This is the benefit of having a craft by your side.

Master Su also began to ponder, should he practice a craft?
The three major juggling arts are definitely useless. He has neither the talent for alchemy nor does he plan to make weapons. Because of the true solution of sword talismans, talisman making must be practiced, but that's all. Spells and talismans cannot go far together.

After a long time, he found that the only thing that suits him best is refining poison and raising Gu.

Thinking of this, he always felt a little uncomfortable. The true solution of the sword talisman he practiced was the authentic and supreme method of the Taoist school, but other than that, all the things he knew were the methods of the evil school and heretics.

Su Mingcheng left with his head down, carrying a bag of poisonous weeds.

With Xie Xiaoyu's words just now, other people don't need to mine. Li Jinbao and the others each occupied a spiritual cave to meditate and practice Qi. They are young, which is much more beneficial than Lao Bai and Chao Shu In the past two months, they have taken turns to cultivate in the Lingyan Cave, and they have made rapid progress. They all feel that they are only one breath away from getting started.

"What about breakfast?" Aunt Li looked at her husband in embarrassment.

"Why do you care about these things? The big things are important." The uncle watched Su Mingcheng messing around, but he couldn't help him, so he was extremely anxious, and his anger inevitably grew.

"Xiao Li's daughter-in-law, go and tear the chicken apart, wrap it in rice and knead it into balls. I don't think they are in the mood to eat. When they get hungry later, they can fill their stomachs with a few rice balls. It won't waste time." .” The old mine head looked at those Lingyan stone caves with great envy. He also felt the effect of cultivation in the past two months, but it was far behind other people. So he knew that there was really no hope for him.

The camp was silent, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.

When it was almost noon, Xie Xiaoyu came out of the cave, he had already had enough sleep.

Su Mingcheng was sitting not far from the spiritual cave, and when he saw him coming out, he immediately handed over a jade bottle.

Xie Xiaoyu took the jade bottle, walked to the food place, opened the sarong, took two rice balls from it, turned to Aunt Li and said: "This method is good, monks practice day and night, and often I feel hungry when I come out, if there is something ready to eat, that would be great."

Aunt Li was so praised that she smiled and said repeatedly: "I have been doing this since then."

After Xie Xiaoyu said hard work, she turned and went back to the cave.

As soon as he entered, he immediately took out the alchemy stove that he got from Zhongyi Hall.

The alchemy furnaces left over from the ancient times are very complicated, because they are made after the human body, and they also have orifices and veins. This alchemy furnace has nine orifices, which is the top class even in that era.

Carefully put the alchemy stove in the right stone wall, there is a pit, which he dug out specially, this spiritual cave is filled with Qi of Gengjin, only the inside of the pit is different, it is filled with Qi of Binghuo.

On the inside of the pit, there is a copper pipe leading down from the top and connected to a circle of copper plates at the bottom.

Xie Xiaoyu pressed lightly on the wall, and immediately shot out nine very thin beams of light from the copper plate, and each beam just happened to shoot into one aperture of the alchemy furnace.

There is a large sun mirror outside his spiritual cave. The sunlight shines on the mirror, is concentrated to one point, and then transmits to the bottom through the silver-plated copper tube on the inside.

There are nine knobs on one side of the copper plate, and each knob can control the intensity of a path of light.

The most difficult part of alchemy is the control of fire. A good alchemist must also be a master of fire control. He has no experience in fire control, so he can only find another way.The method of alchemy he is using at this moment has found another way, using a sun mirror to focus light instead of fire.It is difficult to adjust the fire, but the light is much easier.

Turn the knob to maximum and let the Dan stove heat up.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, he turned down the light a little, and then used a small spoon to send all the prepared materials into the furnace mouth.

All the medicinal materials have been ground, filtered to remove impurities, and then finely ground to become a pile of extremely fine powder. Once they enter the furnace, the medicinal powder immediately disintegrates.

His method of alchemy is different, it is called Ziwu pregnant alchemy, it is slowly refined with a slow fire, so that the medicinal power of various materials can be fully volatilized, and they can be fused together in the alchemy furnace to naturally condense into an alchemy.

Speaking of which, this set of ideas has the same goal as the alchemy method of Taoism and nature in the ancient times, so when he saw this alchemy furnace, he couldn't wait to take it down.

The preparation of this set of alchemy is cumbersome, the processing of medicinal materials is very troublesome, and there are many restrictions. The furnace must be turned on at noon, and the alchemy must be harvested at midnight, and the sun must be there, and it must not be winter. It takes a long time and cannot be refined at one time , it can be said that there are a lot of shortcomings.

It was a complete accident that he got this kind of alchemy method. When he was in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he read all kinds of miscellaneous books. Among them, there was a book "Hundreds of Strange Skills and Wonderful Methods", which recorded many strange things, like the sun mirror. The various usages of the medicine, as well as the Ziwu Pregnancy Pill, all come from this wonderful book.

All the materials were put into the furnace, Xie Xiaoyu screwed on the top cover, and then cast a spell to put it on.

This method is to integrate his spiritual consciousness with the alchemy furnace. The method of alchemy in the ancient times is to use the alchemy furnace as a clone of a person. It also needs breathing and breathing, but the breathing is The potency of the medicine, what circulates and carries is the medicine gas.

Today's alchemists have long stopped doing this, so they can't use the alchemy furnaces from the ancient times.He can use it because he used to take the path of the integration of man and machine, and the two have the same effect.

As time passed, the light gradually dimmed and finally disappeared completely. It must have been dark outside.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't notice it, he had practiced alchemy in the past, but he had never put so much effort into it.

This is because the alchemy furnace is different. He has a close relationship with this alchemy furnace, and the feeling of being attracted to each other. Many reasons that were not understood before have become clear now. It is not only related to alchemy, but also A lot of things about cultivation.

He remembered that his master once said that the Tao of Alchemy, the Tao of Qi, the Tao of Talismans, the Tao of Formation and the way of cultivation lead to the same goal.He couldn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

Xie Xiaoyu was indulging in enlightenment, when she suddenly felt a crackling sound inside the pill furnace, and the whole pill furnace vibrated slightly.

The medicine gas that was completely mixed together suddenly separated from each other, some fused together and then condensed into a group, while the other part separated in all directions.

At this moment, he had just woken up from enlightenment, and he was still in a trance. All this, in his eyes, seemed to be a reenactment of the scene where the heaven and the earth first opened and the turbid qi sank, and the clear qi rose.

There was a flash of thunder in his ears, and he suddenly remembered a text he had seen before, "One pill, one day, one pill, one world, chaos into heaven and earth, and changes in the furnace."

This is the general outline of a Danjing, which one is specific?He couldn't remember it anymore, he just glanced over it at that time, thinking it was a verse, and didn't think deeply about it.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up from a trance.

Thinking that there were still pills in the pill furnace, Xie Xiaoyu cried out "ah".

To collect pills, you have to play tricks, otherwise, there is no way for the pills to condense into shape, and even if they condense, they will disperse immediately.

It's too late to regret now, this furnace pill is probably finished.

Fortunately, he didn't get nothing, at least let him understand the true meaning of alchemy.

He smiled wryly and unscrewed the top cover of the alchemy furnace.

The top cover is still a little hot to the touch, and when you open it, you can see the mist inside, which is the residual medicine gas.

There is a layer of very fine powder on the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

He took a piece of paper, poured the powder on it, and looked under the lamp.

The powder is dark red in color, like cinnabar and carbon powder mixed together.

I licked a little with my finger.

Immediately, a strong smell of medicine rushed into the nostrils, followed by wisps of medicine dissolving on the tip of the tongue.

No matter how bad an alchemist is, he must be an expert in tasting medicine, and he also started learning alchemy from tasting medicine.After tasting it, he breathed a sigh of relief, the pill turned into powder, and the potency of the medicine was much weaker, but it could be used.

He made a small pile, rolled it up with a piece of paper, and put it in his mouth.

The powder is very bitter, but the onset is very fast, which is the characteristic of powder.

After a while, he felt itching all over his body, from the internal organs to the outside.He quickly sat down cross-legged, mobilizing the sword energy in his body to run over and over again, which could make the medicine more fully exert its power.

The itching feeling became heavier at first, and then gradually became lighter, with black greasy coming out from the pores.

Feeling that the remaining poison was gone, Xie Xiaoyu opened the cave door and rushed out.

At one corner of the camp there is a pool surrounded by wooden walls, which is usually used for washing clothes and sometimes for bathing.It was late at night, so there was no need to worry about meeting anyone.

He rushed in and took a painful shower.

The residual toxins in the body are gone, the body is no longer greasy, and I feel much more comfortable.

Suddenly he raised his head to look at the sky, and then looked down at the ground.

Before you know it, the whole world is completely different.

The stars in the sky that were not moving were slowly turning in his eyes, ever-changing without stopping for a moment, and the earth that usually seemed calm and heavy suddenly became full of life, every inch of soil lived with billions of creatures, and every inch of soil lived. At any given moment many lives die and at the same time many lives are born.

The stars revolve, life and death multiply.

At this moment, he caught a trace of Dao.

Also at this moment, he knew that he had finally crossed that obstacle. He had stagnated at the eighth level of qi training for more than two years and had not made any progress, but at this moment he stepped into the ninth level of qi training.

Jiuzhong is a small threshold, which needs to sense the world and find the opportunity of the avenue. This step is the key. What kind of opportunity of the avenue is found determines what kind of achievement.The tenth level is another small sill, which connects the Qi of heaven and earth, and transforms acquired breath into innate breath.After that, there is a big hurdle to communicate with the world, use your own spirit to attract the power of the world, and you will be a real person if you pass it, and you will live forever.

A year of stagnation, a year of wastage, I didn't expect that after refining the alchemy once, the shackles would be broken.

Xie Xiaoyu was filled with emotions.
