The Way of the Prehistoric World

Chapter 16 Refining the elixir

"This is definitely a new banana tree. As long as you cultivate it well, you can keep the original one and don't have to give it back. I just don't know how the gourd roots can give birth to new ones. What if new ones can't be born? , wouldn’t it be necessary to return an innate treasure-level spiritual root in the end? It’s a bit heartbreaking to think about it.”

For those innate spiritual roots that have been transplanted as a whole, Mei Zihan's plan is to work hard to give birth to new innate spiritual roots. After these new innate spiritual roots grow up, he will put them in the position where the original spiritual roots grew. replace their role.

If the innate gourd root cannot give birth to new gourd roots in the end, then for the sake of the great gods, Mei Zihan can only choose to transplant the existing gourd root back again.

After the banana tree gave birth to new plants, the problem of gourd roots became more difficult.

Judging from the current situation of Calabash Root, it is very likely that it will advance to the level of innate treasure in the future, which worries Mei Zihan, who has already made up his mind to return Calabash Root.

"The ten major innate spiritual roots can all give birth to new plants. I think the gourd root can definitely do it, but it has not been realized yet. It will happen in the future. Now we are still far away from the Lich Tribulation, and there is still a lot of time. Go solve the problem.”

Mei Zihan also couldn't figure out the key to the birth of new plants from Calabash Root, so he decided to leave this problem to time to solve. Fortunately, it was still very far away from the birth of Calabash Root.

After looking away from the Creation Lake, Mei Zihan discovered that many innate and acquired spiritual roots in Lingmiao Garden were now filled with spiritual fruits. These spiritual roots had grown at least two thousand yuanhui in Lingmiao Garden, and That is more than 200 million years.

During this long period of time, relying on the unique conditions in Lingmiao Garden, almost all the spiritual roots that have grown have been producing spiritual fruits all the time, and many spiritual roots are now covered with spiritual fruits.

"These innate and acquired spiritual fruits are too ineffective if taken directly, and if eaten too much, they will no longer be effective. They can only be eaten as ordinary fruits, but it is quite a waste. It would be great if elixirs could be refined."

Looking at the garden full of spiritual fruits, Mei Zihan had to start thinking about refining elixirs. Apart from using them for elixir refining, he could not find a better way to consume these spiritual fruits.

It was okay for him and Di Ling to taste it occasionally. If they ate it every day, they would definitely get bored soon. Eating alone would definitely not solve the problem.

Now that he decided to make alchemy, he first thought of his inheritance Hongmeng Purple Qi, which actually contained content about alchemy, which he had never noticed before.

Inheriting Hongmeng Purple Qi is a complete Dao-level exercise. It is normal to have some content about alchemy. If it is not mentioned at all, it would be very unreasonable.

Since time traveling, Mei Zihan has made some achievements in weapon refining in addition to practicing.

Except for the companion spiritual treasure, he has been able to refine the innate treasure. Later, with the help of innate merit, he successfully refined the top innate treasure, the Xiantian Liangyi Diagram.

But this does not mean that his level of weapon refining is already very high. Among the Chaos Demon Gods, his level is very average. However, now in the prehistoric world, he has become the top weapon refining master.

Compared to refining weapons, Mei Zihan's level of alchemy was simply appalling. It should be said that he had never done any alchemy at all, and he didn't even have an alchemy furnace.

Faced with so many innate and acquired spiritual fruits, as well as all kinds of elixirs in the inner world, he had to regain his inheritance in alchemy and start the great cause of alchemy.

The pressure of reality is the motivation for his alchemy.

He first studied the knowledge about alchemy in his inheritance of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and then looked through all the contents on alchemy in his inheritance of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

After screening at the peak state of his early stage of chaos, and finally combining the elixirs and spiritual fruits he currently possessed, Mei Zihan was finally able to roughly create a classic book on alchemy, named "Innate Alchemy Technique".

"Innate Alchemy Technique" mainly uses innate and acquired spiritual fruits as raw materials to refine elixirs. It is different from the general alchemy methods in the ancient times, and it is also completely different from the alchemy method of Taishang Laojun, the legendary head of the Three Pure Ones.

Now that he had compiled the classics on alchemy, Mei Zihan had no intention of favoring one over the other. He also compiled his own knowledge on weapon refining into a book and named it "Chaos Artifact Refining Technique".

On the one hand, it shows that this is the weapon refining inheritance of the Chaos Demon God. On the other hand, the main content is to use the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in Chaos as materials to refine innate spiritual treasures. As for the refining rules of ordinary magic weapons in the prehistoric times, I just mentioned it briefly, without explaining it in detail.

"Innate Alchemy Technique" and "Chaos Artifact Refining Technique" are currently not perfect and need to be further completed in actual operations in the future.

In Mei Zihan's plan, these two tomes, like the "Five Elements Opening the Sky", are inherited tomes from the lineage of the Chaos Demon God. They will only be passed on to their disciples and grandchildren after further improvement.

Before refining alchemy, you must first refine the weapon. If there is no special alchemy furnace to assist, the entire alchemy will be half the result with half the effort, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

The fortune cauldron can also be used to make alchemy, but on the one hand, the flames in the cauldron are too advanced and ordinary elixirs cannot bear it. On the other hand, its alchemy effect is indeed not very satisfactory, so the refining of a top-level alchemy furnace is a must. It's urgent.

Fortunately, a long time ago, Mei Zihan was on the outskirts of the sea of ​​flames and collected Taishang Tushita Ziyan, which was suitable for alchemy. Now it seems that he is a bit unpredictable.

Taishang Tushita Purple Flame is Taishang Laojun's unique fire, and it is perfect for use in elixir making.

The fire may account for a small part of the reason why Taishang Laojun's alchemy achievements are so high. Having this fire means that his alchemy career has a good start, and I believe it will also have a good result.

Although this fire can only refine the acquired elixir, and the highest achievement is only the Nine-turn Golden elixir, it is completely enough for the current alchemy novice Mei Zihan.

As for the use of innate elixirs and innate spiritual fruits to refine innate elixirs in the future, we still have to bother with the Fortune Cauldron. Although it is not a specialty, it can still be done.

After thinking about it, he first placed the cauldron of creation in front of him, played the magic formula to raise the cauldron, put in Chaos Gold, Chaos Breathing Soil, a root of the main body and a little of the source of creation water, and then closed the lid of the cauldron.

After inputting magic formula and mana into the fortune cauldron again, the raging chaotic spiritual fire wrapped the previously placed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and quickly melted them all.

In the melted material, Mei Zihan broke into the Dao magic circles one by one. Gradually some unnecessary impurities were removed, and the melted material began to slowly change its shape, and finally slowly formed the prototype of an alchemy furnace.

The entire alchemy furnace is in the shape of a quadrilateral, with four inlets located in four directions. The only outlet is above the alchemy furnace, from which all the refined elixirs will be taken out.

Looking at the alchemy furnace that was about to take shape, Mei Zihan immediately took out a ball of the essence of the Four Symbols and 36 Taishang Tushita Purple Flames, put them into the fortune cauldron again, and then integrated them into the alchemy furnace that was about to take shape.

After that, he broke into many Dao magic circles again, but it was used on the essence of the Four Innate Symbols and the Purple Flame of Taishang Tushita.

As the formation enters, the essence of the Four Symbols and the Purple Flame of the Supreme Tushita begin to change slowly, eventually forming a quadrilateral cauldron core that sinks to the bottom of the alchemy furnace. There are 9 Purple Flames of the Supreme Tushita on each side of the cauldron core.

As the cauldron core was finally formed and integrated into the alchemy furnace, the refining of the entire alchemy furnace was basically completed. Finally, the chaotic spiritual fire slowly receded, and the lid of the fortune cauldron was opened, and a brand new alchemy furnace was about to be born.

He casually picked up the alchemy furnace in his hand, and after a little exploration, he found that it had the quality of a top-notch innate spiritual treasure, which was even better than Taishang Laojun's top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Bagua Furnace.

After naming the alchemy furnace the Xiantian Four Symbols Furnace, Mei Zihan began to refine the alchemy furnace.

With his current level of cultivation, he could easily refine this elixir furnace, which was only of top-grade innate spiritual treasure quality. It only took him less than ten years. He placed the refined elixir furnace in front of him, and Mei Zihan's The great cause of alchemy officially began.

The starting point of alchemy is mortal-level elixirs. All the inherited Hongmeng Purple Qi have mentioned this briefly. Almost all alchemists also skip this stage directly, but Mei Zihan does not want to do this. Although these mortal-level elixirs are not suitable for The monks are useless, but the refining process is the foundation of alchemy.

In order to refine mortal-level elixirs, Mei Zihan could only recall the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge he learned in his previous life. He wanted to combine elixir refining with traditional Chinese medical treatment.

The use of traditional Chinese medicine follows the principle of "the emperor, his ministers, and his envoys" (interested friends can refer to Baidu Encyclopedia), and the prescriptions are matched with specific medicinal properties. The same can be done with alchemy.

However, before combining them, he must first personally try each elixir in order to master its medicinal properties.

It can be said that he worked ten thousand times harder than Shennong. Shennong only tasted a hundred herbs, but he wanted to taste hundreds of millions of elixirs in this ancient world.

Fortunately, Mei Zihan's cultivation was strong, and his Chaos Demon God's body was unparalleled, so he would not end up like Shen Nong, who was poisoned.

The entire drug testing process took as long as a Yuanhui, more than 100,000 years. The hardships and hardships almost made him give up, but in the end he persisted until the end.

Combining billions of different medicinal properties with each other is also an extremely complex project. The complexity will directly destroy the Manhattan atomic bomb plan on the earth.

Fortunately, it does not need to be combined at once. Mei Zihan plans to start from the lowest elixir and slowly combine it step by step.

He started refining at the same time as the combination to verify the correctness of the combination. Even if the refining failed, he would not feel sad about wasting some low-level elixirs. He could also sum up experience and lessons and improve his alchemy level through refining again and again. This was regarded as one fell swoop. get more.

After making up his mind, he began to refine the elixir, starting from the most basic elixir that was only suitable for mortals. After experiencing repeated failures, he finally achieved his first success after a hundred years.

Although it was just a hemostatic pill suitable for mortals, this first success greatly increased his confidence.

In the blink of an eye, another 10,000 years have passed, and after countless successful or failed alchemy experiments, Mei Zihan's knowledge and experience in alchemy have gradually enriched.

From being in a hurry to being step-by-step now, he has learned a lot of valuable experience from countless successes and failures. He is now very different from the rookie he was back then.

The result of his alchemy is the thousands of kinds of elixirs around him. Although they are only suitable for mortals, they were also written into the "Innate Alchemy Technique" by Mei Zihan and passed down to the lineage of the Chaos Demon God as the basis.

Mei Zihan, who had completely digested the knowledge of mortal-level elixirs, now began to refine elixirs below the elixir level.

The higher-level elixirs that were about to be used had far more medicinal properties than the previous herbs, and were much more precious. Therefore, he could no longer be as casual as before, but he needed to carefully consider before starting to refine these elixirs.

This level of elixirs already belongs to the category of real elixirs, which are completely different from the elixirs used for mortals before. Whether they can become elixirs in the end no longer depends on the properties of the medicine, but on the essence contained in the elixir. Pure spiritual power.

The different spiritual powers of all the materials must be completely blended together to finally make the elixir, otherwise the success will be in vain.

The previous simple ratios of "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" were obviously far from meeting the current needs, so Mei Zihan had to build a more advanced and sophisticated alchemy model.

Only by meeting this prerequisite can he have the possibility of success. Otherwise, even if he succeeds occasionally, he will not be able to gain experience from the success. Such success is insignificant to the entire alchemy.

If you want to refine real elixirs, and then refine elixirs, or even nine-turn golden elixirs or innate elixirs, the new alchemy structure is the most important foundation.

Without this foundation, Mei Zihan's alchemy career would never go far, and his level of alchemy would probably stagnate and he would always be outside the realm of an alchemy master.

As the saying goes, "sharpening the sword will not waste time cutting wood." Mei Zihan decided to build a rough alchemy model first, and then continued to tinker with it until it was perfected through constant attempts.
