The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 103 The First Alchemy

That night, Gao Xing did not routinely adjust his breath as before, but studied the basic techniques of alchemy all night.

Including some methods of herbal identification, processing and so on.

Alchemy is inseparable from medicinal herbs.

To become a qualified alchemist, one must also be proficient in herbology.

The next morning, Gao Xing came to Panjiayuan Market and found Da Jinya.

"Hey, Brother Gao Xing is a rare guest, hurry up, please invite inside..."

As soon as he saw Gao Xing, Da Jinya was so enthusiastic and rushed in to welcome him.

"Jin Ye, there is something I want to ask for your help."

"Look at what you said, if you have something to do, just order it..."

I have to say that Da Jinya's words are beautiful, after all, he is an old fritter in the rivers and lakes.

Gao Xing cut to the chase and said, "Can you get me an alchemy furnace?"

"Alchemy... alchemy furnace? Can you see that?"

Da Jinya was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the corner of the shop.

Gao Xing glanced at it, frowned and said, "Master Jin, are you really ignorant or something? It's just a big incense burner, it's different from the alchemy burner."

Da Jinya coughed in embarrassment: "Well... To be honest, the alchemy furnace may not be found in the entire Panjiayuan market, after all, this thing is too professional.

Even if there was one before, I am afraid that it was bought as an incense burner and stored away. "

Indeed, the appearance of the alchemy furnace is somewhat similar to that kind of large incense burner, and many people can't tell the difference.

Especially in modern times, alchemy has almost become a kind of legend, and it is really difficult to find an alchemy furnace.

"correct……"

Da Jinya suddenly remembered something.

"The year before last... yes, the year before last, when I went to the suburbs of Beijing to collect antiques, I heard that there was a very old Taoist temple there, with a history of hundreds of years, and there were many antiques in it.

Some people have evil intentions and want to go in and steal some to make a fortune.

As a result, none of them succeeded, and they were all beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces.

I didn't want to make fun of myself, so I didn't go in.But I thought, since there are hundreds of years of history, there is a pill furnace in that Taoist temple, why don't you go and see it? "

"Well, yes, where is that Taoist temple?"

"In Fengming Mountain, Shun County, on the outskirts of Beijing, that Taoist temple is called Fengming Temple."

"Thank you, Lord Jin, then I'll go and have a look."

After bidding farewell to Da Jinya, Gao Xing found someone nearby and went straight to Fengming Mountain.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The Taoist temple is on the mountain, and you can only go up along the narrow stone steps.

The price is not high, and it took about ten minutes to reach the gate of the Taoist temple.

Looking around, this Taoist temple is indeed very old, covering an area of ​​about seven or eight acres, and there are several towering nanmu trees in it, which should be hundreds of years old.

Gao Xing stepped into the Taoist temple and paid homage to the statue of Tianzun enshrined inside.

Then, into the backyard.

In the courtyard, a man in his thirties, dressed in Taoist robes, was sweeping the floor.

Seeing Gao Xing coming in, he subconsciously greeted the layman... Afterwards, he was stunned for a moment, smiled embarrassedly and bowed: "So it's a fellow Taoist visiting."

In fact, Gao Xing seldom wore Taoist robes, they were all ordinary clothes.

The other party changed his name to a Taoist friend, obviously to see Gao Xing's identity... It can be seen from this that this middle-aged Taoist is not simple, and he is by no means an ordinary Taoist.

"Hehe, fellow daoist, are you the host here?"

"No, the host is my master..."

"Brother Dao, can you recommend me?"

"Who is looking for the poor?"

At this time, an old Taoist with white beard and hair suddenly came out of the wing room.

"Master!"

The middle-aged Taoist quickly saluted.

Gao Xing also followed suit, secretly amazed.

Because, he could sense that this veteran's mana was quite strong, and he was a real master.

Similarly, the old Taoist also looked at Gao Xing in surprise, and sighed: "Who is this young fellow Taoist? Your cultivation is not weak, you are much stronger than this wretch like me."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged Taoist immediately looked ashamed.

"The Taoist priest is too much!" Gao Xing smiled modestly, and said, "My master, the old man, has passed away..."

"So that's how it is...Wuchen, go make two cups of tea."

"Yes, Master!"

Through the conversation, Gao Xing learned the name of the old Taoist: Qingyangzi, a branch disciple belonging to the Longhushan School.

"I don't know what the little fellow daoist is here for?"

After drinking tea for a while, Qing Yangzi began to ask Gao Xing why he came.

"Master Dao, it's like this. I want to learn alchemy, but I don't have an alchemy furnace. Someone told me that Fengming Temple is relatively old, maybe I can find it..."

"Oh? Do you know how to make alchemy?"

After hearing what Gao Xing said, Qingyangzi's eyes lit up.

"This..." Gao Xing smiled embarrassingly: "Actually, I haven't started practicing. I just mastered some basic theories and have no practical experience."

"Hey! Speaking of alchemy, it is declining day by day, including that unscrupulous disciple of Pindao, who has been teaching him for ten years, but he still can't make a decent pill.

How about this, you can practice it here in Pindao, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, Pindao can give you some advice. "

Upon hearing this, Gao Xing was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Then thank you, Daoist Priest!"

After a while, Wu Chen moved the alchemy furnace to the courtyard.

According to the theory he had mastered, Gao Xing began to prepare raw materials, as well as firewood, and prepared to refine a furnace of the most basic qi-nourishing pill.

Yangqi Pill is an entry-level Taoist elixir, its effects are mainly calming the mind, nourishing qi, and activating meridian blood. Simply put, it is a kind of health-preserving elixir.

Refining is also relatively easy.

Of course, relatively easy does not mean easy.

Without a certain amount of talent, it is also impossible to refine this pill.

When everything was ready, Gao Xing set up the furnace first, and waited until the pill furnace reached the appropriate temperature, then began to put in the raw materials one by one.

These steps are not very important, as long as there are no mistakes.

The most important thing in alchemy is the mastery of the heat.

When to use slow fire, when to use medium fire, and when to use strong fire, there is no specific concept at all, it all depends on personal feeling.

If the fire is too high, the liquid medicine will burn easily.

If the fire is too low, the medicinal effect cannot be fully refined.

This requires relying on personal feelings to grasp a degree.

It was the first time for alchemy, Gao Xing seemed a little flustered.Fortunately, Qingyangzi gave some pointers from the sidelines from time to time, and slowly, he began to have some feelings and experiences.

After an hour or so, the medicinal liquid began to boil.

And this time is the most critical time for alchemy, if you don't pay attention, the liquid medicine will be burnt.

If it is some high-grade elixir, it is even more necessary to form palm prints, penetrate true energy into the liquid medicine, and even inject special elixir.

In this way, it is said that the refined medicine will form pill patterns, which not only have better effect, but also the pill patterns can lock the efficacy of the medicine, which is convenient for long-term storage.

Another half hour passed...

A strong medicinal fragrance began to permeate the yard.

Gao Xing immediately sealed off the fire and sprinkled some powdered medicine into the alchemy furnace.

Then he gathered his true energy, grasped it in the void, and a string of thick liquid medicine rose up. As soon as it left the mouth of the pill furnace, it solidified into a few pills the size of a thumb.

Become!

Gao Xing's eyes lit up, he was delighted and excited...
