Best Ascension

Chapter 190: The Beginner of the Marrow Spirit Pill
In the early morning of the next day, after Zhao Sheng finished his daily homework, he commanded the flying sword to skillfully fly to the foot of Wanxia Peak.

After the sword light dissipated, Zhao Sheng entered the mountainside from the cave at the foot of the mountain, walked through a long passage, and came to the area of ​​the ground fire chamber.

Today, the guards at the gate changed a group of people. Just as Zhao Sheng wanted to go in, he was stopped by a big man in armor standing next to him.

"What about the access token? Without the token, you can't go in!"

The big man in armor was obviously out of his mind, and he didn't even see the Keqing badge deliberately worn by Zhao Sheng's waist.

Zhao Sheng shook his head secretly, and then released his foundation building aura.

"I have an appointment with someone to meet in the underground fire room. Get out of the way!"

"Building foundation, senior, please!"

Sensing Zhao Sheng's foundation building aura, the big man in armor was startled immediately, and quickly claimed yes.

He just took two steps back, but he suddenly hesitated, with a shy expression on his face, wanting to stop him but not daring to stop him, so he could only look at Zhao Sheng with tangled eyes.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng felt quite funny in his heart, so he took off the guest badge and handed it to this person: "Do you recognize this?"

The big man scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Yes, this is the token of the guest. Please, senior! The junior has only been here for two days. If you offended the senior just now, please forgive me!"

Zhao Sheng saw that the other party apologized repeatedly, so he nodded slightly at the big man and walked into the corridor.

After walking through a passage paved with fire-proof bricks for hundreds of meters, Zhao Sheng appeared in a very spacious circular grotto.

The temperature in the grotto is very high, with an average of more than [-] degrees, and the hot and dry air is mixed with various medicinal and Danxiang.

The whole grotto is built of precious flint stones, with a diameter of nearly thirty or forty feet and a height of five or six feet.

On the stone walls around the grotto, there are eight nearly identical black corridors that are two feet high and wide, and the tops of the corridors are engraved with runes such as A, B, C, and D.

At this time, there was no one in the grotto, but there were muffled popping sounds from the depths of the corridor from time to time, and occasionally curses could be faintly heard from the underground fire room.

According to Jin Dancheng, the alchemy room of Wanxia Peak has opened up eight fire pillars in total, which are divided into 64 fire eyes, that is, there are 64 fire chambers.

The higher the serial number of the ground fire room in each corridor, the better and more stable the quality of the ground fire, and the corresponding higher the success rate of alchemy.

The Ding fire room on Jiazi Road is Jin Ming's special alchemy room, and Zhao Sheng's destination is also here.

In front of the basement fire room of No. Jiading, after Zhao Sheng entered through sound transmission with his spiritual consciousness, the stone door opened automatically.

When Zhao Sheng walked into the room, Jin Ming stood up from the futon, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you really gave me a big surprise! If I had known that your basic skills are so solid, I wouldn't have let the little boy make a fool of himself."

After waving his hands to close the stone gate, Zhao Sheng walked up to him in two steps, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jin, I'm not to blame for this. Zhao did not expect that the noble disciple's teaching is so simple and superficial."

While stretching out his hand to signal Zhao Sheng to sit down, Jin Ming said depressedly, "It's also my fault that I didn't figure it out beforehand! However, Fellow Daoists, have you ever heard the old proverb 'Everything can be made into medicine, and everything can be made into alchemy'."

Zhao Sheng nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I understand what Fellow Daoist Jin means. Of course, I will not underestimate the step of processing medicinal materials."

"That's right! It's really gratifying for fellow Taoists to be able to understand the true meaning of this for the first time in alchemy. Ordinary alchemists will only use concocted elixir to concoct alchemy, but they don't know that a real alchemist will concoct it with his own hands. Spiritual medicine, so as to be familiar with and precisely control every part of the medicinal properties of the spiritual medicine, so that the number of refined medicines will not only be larger, but the quality will be three points higher.

As for outstanding figures such as alchemy masters and even alchemy masters, they are the existences that turn decay into magic.The birth of each new type of panacea is often accompanied by the explanation of the medicinal properties and pharmacology of more unknown panacea, which also means that the way of alchemy has a new development.

Fellow Daoist Zhao, have you ever heard of such panaceas as "Spiritual Pills"? "

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Sui Ling Pill is so famous, of course I have heard of it."

Jin Mingtan's expression was a little excited and he said: "Daoist friends, you know that 5000 years ago, there was no marrow pill in the Tianzhu world. At that time, no one thought that the brain fluid of monsters could be used to make alchemy.

Until the appearance of Grandmaster Chen Mo, when he was still an alchemy apprentice, he had this idea.After nearly a year of hard work, Grandmaster Chen Mo finally succeeded in refining the first marrow pill: Dragon Beard Fish Marrow Pill. "

Without Zhao Sheng's praise, Jin Ming spoke faster and faster, "The fish marrow pill can actually improve the spiritual power of the cultivator, and the price is very cheap. This is simply against the normal pill theory. It is based on the birth of the dragon beard and fish marrow pill, immediately It sparked an unprecedented discussion. Few people in the alchemy world of Broken Star Sea supported Grandmaster Chen Mo, most of them criticized and ridiculed, and some even thought that the Dragon Beard Fish Essence Pill had great hidden dangers and must be destroyed as soon as possible.

At this critical moment, Grandmaster Chen Mo actually refined the second marrow elixir: Zhang Sui Dan made from the brain marrow of the deformed sea seal.Zhang Sui Dan is still a pill that can enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator. "

At this time, Jin Ming spread his hands with a mocking expression, and said with a smirk: "After the Zhang Sui Pill, there is the Golden Crystal Beast Pill, and then a series of Sui Ling Pills. Grandmaster Chen Mo used iron-like facts, and then refuted the world's criticism of him." Doubt. The faces of those alchemists who mocked him were all swollen. Now, after thousands of years of expansion and improvement, the spirit pill has grown into a famous category in the spirit pill. "

After listening to his words, Zhao Sheng rubbed his chin, and suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist has said so much, does it mean that the first kind of elixir you taught me to refine today is marrow elixir?"

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Zhao is indeed extremely intelligent. No wonder he succeeded in building the foundation at such a young age. Today I will ask you to refine the Dragon Beard and Fish Essence Pill. It is a first-order panacea, and it is not difficult to refine. It is very suitable for practicing your hands." " Jin Ming couldn't help but praise.

After speaking, he took out twelve bottles and jars from the storage bag, and finally took out a square porcelain box.

Opening the porcelain box, there are nine transparent glass bottles the size of a fist, filled with a half-finger-deep, clear jelly-like slurry.

Zhao Sheng looked down, and Jin Ming also opened the other bottles one by one, and asked: "Do you remember the formula of Dragon Beard Fish Essence Pill?"

"Remember! One serving of dragon beard fish marrow liquid, three qian of Zhilan stone powder, three liang of five leaf cistanche, one [-]-year-old Shan insect corpse..." Zhao Sheng said skillfully.

Jin Ming smiled happily when he heard the words, and praised: "You Daoist Zhao, you really put your heart into it. But alchemy is a very practical skill. No matter how much you know about alchemy, it's better to try it once."

"Come on, let me introduce you to the facilities of this fire room."

As he spoke, Jin Ming stood up from the futon and walked to the center of the stone room. Zhao Sheng also walked behind him and carefully observed his surroundings.

I saw that the entire ground fire chamber was roughly circular, with an area of ​​about four to five feet, and the surrounding stone walls were all flint stones.A one-foot-high stone platform was built in the inner part of the stone room, and in the center of the stone platform was a sunken circular pit as thick as a bucket.

On the outside of the pit, there are eight ground fire pipes as thick as arms inlaid in the entire circle. The mouth of the pipe is the head of a red clam, and the mouth of the red clam is open.And the mouth is raised up, just above the center of the pothole, and the breathing posture is very realistic.

At this time, Jin Ming had already taken the initiative to explain to Zhao Sheng, pointing to the hole and said: "This is the ground fire mouth, and the fire is ejected from here. However, the main fire mouth is usually not used for refining the first-order elixir, and these eight fire mouths are used. A single burner is enough.

You can see that the mouth of this red clam is inlaid with a fire adjustment array, which can be used to adjust the size and height of the ground fire by itself.Of course.Fellow Daoist, it is more convenient for you to use your divine sense. "

At this point, Jin Ming changed the subject and said: "Earth fire alchemy is convenient, but it is not as good as using heaven and earth spirit fire. Daoist friends must try their best to refine a kind of heaven and earth spirit fire in the future. Otherwise, they will not be able to perform well The potential of Jiulongding."

Zhao Sheng nodded silently after listening.

At this time, Jin Ming briefly said some precautions for alchemy, as well as the rules for using the underground fire room.

The use time of the ground fire room is calculated on a day basis, and 80 points of merit are needed for a day, which is [-] yuan a day if it is converted into spirit stones.

If the merit points are not enough, you can also rent a few hours.But at least three hours to start.

"Okay, let's stop here for now, let's start alchemy!"

After Jin Ming finished speaking, he turned back to the futon and sat down cross-legged.Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng was rarely excited and nervous.

He immediately sat next to Jin Ming, unleashed his consciousness, and concentrated on observing Jin Ming's every move.

"go"

After a low shout, a silver-white three-legged alchemy cauldron suddenly swelled several times, turning into a alchemy furnace the size of a water tank, and flew down above the pit, the bottom of which completely covered the pit.

"The first step is to warm up the alchemy furnace!"

Following this explanation, Jin Ming pinched the magic formula with both hands, and eight spiritual lights flew out from his fingertips one after another, shot into the mouth of the red clam, and disappeared in a flash.

In the next second, the mouths of the eight clams spurted out eight arm-thick blue flames, and the flames converged to the bottom of the pill furnace, and a large blue ground fire suddenly ignited.

After a few breaths, the temperature in the ground fire room rose rapidly, the air became hot and dry, and the Yinbai Dan furnace quickly became scorching hot.

Jin Ming successively hit alchemy formulas one after another, hitting the alchemy furnace.

After a while, the furnace wall began to glow faintly.

At this time, Jin Ming looked serious, and said in a low voice: "There are countless alchemy techniques, but they can be roughly divided into fire refining and water refining. Now the mainstream of alchemy is fire refining. Look after you, I will start adding elixir."

As soon as the words were finished, a gap was suddenly opened on the lid of the silver-white alchemy furnace, and Jin Ming pointed to the bottles and cans on the ground in front of him.

Suddenly, a four-foot-long insect corpse with thick arms and light blue scales flew out of an earthen jar that was thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

The insect corpse flew high, flew over a distance of more than one foot, and fell into the alchemy furnace.

At the same time, Jin Ming hooked his finger, and saw gray powder flying out of a transparent glass bottle, and quickly sank into the alchemy furnace.

boom!
The furnace cover returned to its original position in an instant, and Jin Ming continued to cast out the spiritual light formula, and the ground fire at the mouth of the eight red clams weakened a lot, and became as thick as a finger.

While carefully observing the alchemy furnace, Jin Ming did not forget to explain to Zhao Sheng: "This step is to refine the alchemy base, and the time is about two quarters of an hour."

Zhao Sheng stroked his chin, and gradually became excited.

In the past two lives, although he has not tried alchemy, he has spent a lot of time studying alchemy in his spare time.

Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with the way of alchemy.

Zhao Sheng knew that the success of the elixir mainly depended on the degree of refining the elixir, the degree of fusion of the properties of the elixir, and most importantly, the grasp of the time to make the elixir.

It's too early, the elixir has not yet been fused, and the elixir is not formed.

When it was too late, the elixir would be burned into a pile of dregs.

As for the ingredients and quantity of the elixir, it is clearly stated in the pill formula after countless practice summaries by the predecessors, so generally there is no need to worry about these.

Of course, if you want to improve a panacea, it is not impossible to appropriately increase or decrease the quantity or purity of certain panacea ingredients, as long as you can afford the loss of alchemy failure.

But it is easy to say, but it is very difficult to practice!
There is a catchphrase in the world of cultivating immortals called "The poor make talismans and the rich refiners, and the family has mines to learn alchemy.",
There is a common saying that "the sun, the law and the moon have been used for several years, and only one life of alchemy will suffer."

To put it simply, the cost of resources and time to train an alchemist is too high.

Just to mention two difficulties, one is to accurately control the temperature of the pill furnace, and the other is to accurately grasp the opening time of the furnace.

These two difficulties can be regarded as the nightmare of any alchemist, and even the alchemy masters can't help admitting that the success rate of alchemy is really not high.If the success rate of refining high-level panacea is more than half, it can be celebrated.

The world of cultivating alchemy recognized that alchemy is an extremely experienced and highly practical skill.

In terms of the degree of difficulty, in Xiuxian Baiyi, only under divination and formation, it is completely difficult to learn, difficult to master, and difficult to advance.

Thinking like this, two quarters of an hour passed by.

"The next step is to smelt medicinal properties!"

Jin Ming let out a low cry, and several auxiliary elixir flew out of the bottles and cans in front of him one after another, and when the furnace lid was opened, they fell into the alchemy furnace just right.

"Big fire! Three quarters of an hour, pay attention!" The more concentrated Jin Ming was, the more concise his speech became.

After a few spiritual spells were fired by him, the fire from the mouths of the eight red clams suddenly became thicker, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng's expression changed, and a look of shock flashed on his face.

He is in the foundation building state and has already given birth to divine consciousness.

Compared with Jin Ming who only relied on observation and experience, Zhao Sheng's spiritual sense had already penetrated into the alchemy furnace, and he used his spiritual sense to accurately observe the smelting of the elixir in the furnace, as well as the precipitation of medicinal properties and many phenomena of mutual reactions.

This is very intuitive, but also very shocking!
Spiritual consciousness can be called a sharp weapon for alchemy, and it is also the advantage of foundation-building monks.

When Zhao Sheng observed the reaction changes of the elixir in the furnace little by little, and secretly remembered all the reaction phenomena, time passed little by little.

Three quarters of an hour later, a fist-sized, light-brown semi-solidified liquid pill floated up and down in the center of the alchemy furnace. Under the invisible high-temperature baking, the medicinal properties in the liquid pill were almost completely fused.

In the underground fire room, Jin Ming occasionally used a Dan Jue, and controlled the intensity of the fire at all times, a few drops of sweat oozed from his forehead.

But at this time, he didn't care about rubbing at all, and estimated that the heat was almost ready.
