Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"Why, you think it's too little?" asked the Taoist priest Ji Mao in confusion.

"No, the art of alchemy is profound and extensive. I would like to follow the old alchemist and learn alchemy." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan can't exchange a first-level middle-grade pill for many good things.

However, if he can learn the art of alchemy.

In addition to the endless supply of spiritual medicine in his meditation space.

He can refine a large number of high-level spiritual pills in this mirror space.

After returning to the Thousand-Layered Pagoda, he can exchange for many good things.

"It's not impossible for you to follow me to make pills, but the tuition fee..." The Taoist priest Ji Mao's eyes were shining.

"Master, don't worry. I will provide a batch of spiritual medicines for you to use in alchemy on a regular basis."

"Okay, if you want to learn alchemy, you must first learn to use fire. Be a fire-burning boy for three years."

"Three years?" Zhang Xuan was shocked. "Isn't this too long?"

"I've told you just now that the key to alchemy is three-tenths of alchemy and seven-tenths of fire. Do you think three years is long? I spent ten years just burning fire before I made my first alchemy."

"But three years is too long. Isn't there a quick way?"

"Quick? There is no quick way to make alchemy. If you want to stay, stay. If you don't want to stay, I'll give you three Huoxu Pills and leave by yourself."

At this time, Zhang Xuan was in a dilemma.

Should he be a fire-burning boy for three years in this mirror time and space, or should he take three Huoxu Pills and leave directly to the Thousand-Layered Pagoda in exchange for various benefits.

"I choose to be a fire-burning boy for three years." Zhang Xuan said solemnly.

Taoist Jimao smiled and said, "That's right. The magic of alchemy lies in the fire. You will know it later."

Zhang Xuan used the Twelve Heavenly Sounds Diagram to learn the art of talismans, the art of formations, and even the art of casting weapons.

For alchemy, he also used the Taiqing Creation Diagram to refine the golden elixir.

As for himself, he knew nothing about alchemy.

After Taoist Jimao became a first-class middle-grade alchemist, many nearby sects and families came to visit him.

They all invited him to be a guest.

But Taoist Jimao politely refused.

There were also some family members who wanted to learn from Taoist Jimao.

Taoist Jimao also refused.

Zhang Xuan followed Taoist Jimao to make alchemy, and he did see all kinds of fantastic alchemy methods of Taoist Jimao.

"Good disciple, I suddenly thought of a special alchemy method." Taoist Jimao.

"Master, what alchemy method have you thought of? Don't forget the last time you thought of the method of refining the elixir with thunder. After a few thunders, the cauldron exploded. If you hadn't dodged quickly, you would have been struck to death by thunder." Zhang Xuan reminded.

"This time is different. I'm using the hammer quenching method."

"What is hammer quenching?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

"When casting weapons, we often use hammers to quench the impurities in the materials. We can learn from the way of casting weapons and use the hammering method to quench the elixir. Only the original material of the elixir is left. In this way, we may be able to refine the golden elixir."

"Refine the golden elixir?!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes were bright.

He was now using the Taiqing Creation Map, but he could only refine half a golden elixir.

If this hammer quenching method can really refine a complete golden elixir, its value will soar a hundred times immediately.

If you take the golden elixir to exchange at the Thousand-Layered Pagoda, you will definitely be able to exchange for something incredible.

The master and apprentice were full of joy.

They began to try the hammer quenching method.

"Bang--"

The Taoist Jimao smashed the elixir into pieces with a hammer.

"Another batch of medicinal materials is broken, fortunately they are all first-grade inferior ones, let's try again."

The Taoist Jimao took out another batch of medicinal materials.

This time he didn't smash it directly with a hammer, but put the elixir into the cauldron first and boiled it into liquid medicine.

Pour out the thick liquid medicine.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The Taoist Jimao began to hammer on it.

After hammering hundreds of times, the slurry gradually turned black and smelled.

"Failed again..."

The Taoist Jimao repeated this and tried hundreds of times. The method of hammering to refine the elixir failed without exception.

"Master, if we continue to waste time like this, even if these first-grade inferior elixir are not worth many spirit stones, we can't hold on." Zhang Xuan advised.

"I will definitely succeed. If I don't have any spirit stones, I will sell this alchemy cauldron and this Taoist robe to study the method of hammering and quenching pills. I have some ideas now."

"I always see you wasting a lot of medicinal materials, but I don't see any ideas."

"Alas..." Taoist Jimao sighed, "It's a pity that I have only read about the magical effects of golden elixirs in the classics, and have never seen the appearance of golden elixirs. If I can have a golden elixir for my master to study carefully, I will definitely be able to figure out the method of hammering and quenching pills."

"Is half a golden elixir okay?" Zhang Xuan tried to ask.

"Do you have it?"

"Master, you forgot that my Zhang family is a famous family. I do have half a golden elixir."

"Great," Taoist Jimao was ecstatic, "My little ancestor, why didn't you say it earlier? Come on, let me see it."

Zhang Xuan took out half of the golden elixir for rejuvenating qi.

Taoist Jimao grabbed the half of the golden elixir for rejuvenating qi and began to study it attentively.

"There are golden lines here, it's a golden elixir, it's red like gold, the color is right, the golden elixir is pure, it really is the most original substance of spiritual medicine, this is the same as the idea of ​​hammering and refining elixir, no, no..." Taoist Jimao seemed to have made an incredible discovery.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"The internal texture of this elixir body is like a human being with eight extraordinary meridians..."

Henry Zhang took a closer look and saw the dense lines inside the golden elixir, which were crisscrossed and organized.

Every time Henry Zhang took out half a golden elixir, he took it directly, but he didn't notice this.

"The golden elixir becomes an elixir in the cauldron, seizing the opportunity of creation, the life of living beings, the fire of the surrounding sky, and the destiny of the universe. It is indeed not as simple as hammering the original thing. Look at this half of the golden elixir, the lines seem to be moving slowly. Just like a person's breath, like a Taoist refining spiritual energy, it has endless wonderful uses."

The Jifei Taoist said, closing his eyes and seeming to enter a state of enlightenment.

Henry Zhang on the side was also surprised.

He never thought that the key to alchemy was so profound and profound.

Jifei Taoist had an epiphany for ten days and ten nights, and finally opened his eyes.

"In refining the golden elixir, in addition to quenching the original things, it is also necessary to circulate the fire of the heaven and earth, activate the two qi of yin and yang, open the air holes, and form hundreds of meridians. One part of it is man-made, and nine parts is created by nature." Taoist Jifei seemed to finally understand.

Taoist Ji Feo went down the mountain and left.

It wasn't until half a month later that Henry Zhang saw Taoist Ji Fei return again.

His face was full of joy.

"Master, is something good happening?"

"Hey, what do you think?"

"Have you found a way to refine the golden elixir?"

"Does this need to be said? Master, I am extremely talented. I am sure to be sure of refining the golden elixir this time."

The Jifei Taoist said and took out a small flame.

As soon as Henry Zhang got close to the small flame, he felt a chill coming, and his clothes were covered with a layer of frost.

"What is this?" Henry Zhang was confused.

"This is the extremely yin fire essence. I finally bought it from the Beast Control Sect. You will be able to use it from now on."
