I will survive with proficiency

"What you need to remember when making elixirs is not just a simple elixir recipe, but you also need to understand the characteristics of various spiritual materials, the mutual restraint between spiritual materials, which ones are cold, which are hot, which contain wind elements, and which contain gold. Elements, what are their respective properties and weights?”

"You have to get familiar with all of these, otherwise you will only become an alchemist who only memorizes by rote and has no soul. It is impossible for such an alchemist to refine high-quality elixirs."

"Alchemy is different from talismans and weapon refining. Generally speaking, the elixir recipe is not dead, but requires the alchemist to understand it, and even adjust the elixir recipe according to his own situation. Let's take the simplest 'qi-boosting elixir', which is commonly used. There is only one kind of elixir recipe, but a hundred alchemists may improve and fine-tune a hundred kinds of Qi-boosting elixir recipes, which also leads to the fact that the final elixir will have different grades."

"Furthermore, there is the elixir refining process. First-level elixirs only need to be refined with earth fire. But it is not just a matter of simply memorizing the elixir recipe. It requires the elixir master to understand and be familiar with the differences in each stage of elixir formation. image, and then make adjustments as you go.”

"."

In the alchemy room of Bixian Pavilion, Rongrong introduced various alchemy knowledge in detail.

And said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, although you are the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, Rongrong will not treat you as a senior here. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"You don't have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Rong. My alchemy skills are not even at the first level, so how can I talk about my seniors? Above the level of alchemy, Fellow Daoist Rong is my senior. If there are any details that I don't understand well, I still hope that Dao Rong will Friend speaks out."

"Okay." Rongrong smiled: "I feel relieved when Fellow Daoist Chen says that."

"."

After half a while, after Rongrong finished explaining the first stage of knowledge, it was Chen Ping's digestion time.

After Rongrong finished speaking and walked away, a little girl next to him shouted:

"Xiao Tao has met the master."

Master?

Chen Pingyuan thought Xiao Tao was Rong Rongshou's apprentice.

The little girl was plump and shy, and when Chen Ping saw her, he immediately thought of how he looked when he first met Yu Lingchun.

"Are you the apprentice of Fairy Biyuan?" Chen Ping asked.

"Back to Master, yes. Master brought Xiao Tao into the path of immortality when he passed by Xiao Tao's village. However, after Xiao Tao was brought back to Bixian Pavilion by a senior from the sect, Xiao Tao never saw Master. He has always been Practice with Senior Brother Rong."

Chen Ping looked at Xiao Tao again. He had experienced many frank conversations with Fairy Biyuan, and he was very familiar with Fairy Biyuan's physique.

But at this moment, in Xiao Tao's body, Chen Ping could vaguely feel that Xiao Tao seemed to have a bit of this kind of physique.

Not sure though.

"."

In the following days, Chen Ping focused on alchemy and practice.

Start as a first-level alchemist.

He didn't bite off more than he could chew. At the first level, he only practiced one type of elixir, which was the most common 'qi-boosting elixir'.

Even if it is a kind of elixir, as Rong Rong said, there are many mysteries to learn from it.

And a lot of knowledge is integrated.

Once you learn one elixir, your understanding of other elixirs will also be improved to a certain extent.

After focusing on refining pills for several years, I successfully reached the full level of Qi Bu Dan.

At the second level, Chen Ping deliberately chose not the Qi-tonifying elixir, but the God-refining elixir ‘Peiyuan Dan’.

Although this will be slower, it will help expand and understand alchemy skills in different fields.

During this period, Bi Yuan was asked through the messenger disc whether he had the recipe for the 'True Ying Dan', and he informed Bi Yuan that he was learning to make alchemy.

Although Biyuan was confused, he still provided a recipe of ‘Zhenying Dan’ a few years later.

At the same time, the secret realm of the underworld officially begins.

Another year later, Chen Ping appeared at the exit of the secret realm of Underworld.

The secret realm of the Underworld will only be open for one year, and then the exit will be opened for a month, and then it will be closed again for hundreds of years.

One day later, it is time for the exit to open.

Chen Ping wants to stop here to see if anyone has obtained the raw materials of Qingming Fruit or Zhenying Pill.

If anyone is interested in selling.

Then this is the best trading market.

Because the opening day is approaching, Chen Ping is not the only one waiting here, there are also many other monks.

"Fellow Taoist Yang? Haha, long time no see. Are you here to wait for the disciple to come out?" A man in white robe laughed and flew over to say hello to a Taoist nun in red.

"Yes." The Taoist nun in red hummed proudly, without looking at the male cultivator in white robes.

The male cultivator in white robe didn't mind and laughed:

"This time, a total of five monks from our sect entered the secret realm. They are Dual Infants and late-stage Three Golden Pills. They are all people who have experienced hundreds of battles. Haha, I don't know how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures they will harvest?"

Although the last sentence is a question, the tone is full of pride and confidence.

The secret realm of the underworld allows Yuanying and Jindan to enter at the same time. The entire country is divided into two parts and is separated by a barrier. The Yuanying activity area and the Jindan activity area are separate.

Therefore, there is no situation where Yuanying kills Jindan.

In such a secret realm, you can not only obtain heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also gain experience in killing enemies.

It is especially valuable for monks who need to accumulate the epiphany of life and death in the later stages of the Golden Elixir.

Considering that the number of places is limited, most sects send talented disciples to participate.

"My sect also has five monks. Those little bastards don't know what the harvest will be like." The Taoist nun in red still looked arrogantly in the direction of the exit, her tone full of confidence.

"."

Such conversations take place in many places outside the exit.

Chen Ping was meditating in a corner and did not participate in everyone's chat.

He just came to buy something.

The next day.

The exit of the Underworld Kingdom officially opened with a roar.

"Haha, the first one to come out is my chief disciple, ah haha, good, good job. How did your disciple gain? Well, why did you break an arm? What happened?"

"."

"My son Lin Chong, where is your brother? Why didn't your brother come out together?"

"."

"Not bad, not bad. I actually harvested a Tianyuan Grass. Haha, this kind of medicinal material is useful even in the stage of becoming a god. You are worthy of being the eldest disciple of my Moon Soul Sect, hahaha."

"."

There was joy and sorrow in the scene.

Chen Ping couldn't help but think of the scene where the college entrance examination was over and parents were waiting outside for their children.

The exit will continue to be open for a month. After the first wave of disciples appear, there will be a period of hiatus, and then some monks will come out one after another.

"What did you say? Of the five disciples, you are the only one alive?" The proud Taoist nun in the red dress was trembling all over.

The white-robed man was about to laugh, but then he saw one of his most proud disciples being carried out of the exit, and his vision suddenly went dark.

Wherever there is sorrow, there is joy, and some monks who have made good harvests sell the harvested spiritual materials on the spot.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to buy two auxiliary materials of 'Zhen Ying Dan', but the most precious main material has never been seen for sale.

On the eighth day when the exit opened, a familiar figure walked out.

"Eighteen fellow Taoists?" Chen Ping greeted him:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Eighteen was a little surprised by Chen Ping’s appearance:

"Why are you here, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

"I've come to pick you up specially." Chen Ping said smoothly.

"real?"

"What else?"

Saying this, Shiba feels happier:

"Let's just say, my popularity is quite good, and someone came to pick me up."

This made her extremely happy.

Tianyin Sect does have sect elders waiting for the disciples over there, but that is not 'specialized', it still means shortcomings.

With that said, Jia Zhongshou walked out of the exit, and when he saw Chen Ping, he ran straight towards him:

"Fellow Daoist Chen? Are you here on a special trip? Hey, it's a pity that I didn't find the kind of spiritual fruit that Fellow Daoist Chen wanted, and I didn't find out that other fellow Taoists found this kind of spiritual fruit."

Chen Ping:.

eighteen:.

"Chen Ping, go to hell." Shiba walked away angrily.

Chen Ping:.

Jia Zhong received:

"What happened to the Eighteenth Fellow Daoist?" Jia Zhongshou felt a little afraid of the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Ahem, I don't know either." Chen Ping looked innocent.

I continued to ask Jia Zhongshou about the auxiliary materials and main materials of 'Zhen Ying Dan', because Jia Zhongshou had not paid attention to this information before. After recalling it for a while, he provided two valid information.

The medicinal material one of them found turned out to be the main ingredient of 'Zhen Ying Dan'.

"That's the one, she seems to be called 'Jiruding'. I heard that when she and her sect's disciples were hunting down a monster, they found a 'Wild Prison Asparagus', but it's unknown whether it was sold. "

Jia Zhongshou pointed to a female nun in the distance who was dressed in white and had green skirts.

Chen Ping looked around and saw that the female cultivator and a disciple from the sect were meditating to recover from their injuries.

Their elder was not around, but waiting at the exit.

Chen Ping immediately walked over and said:

“I heard that Fellow Daoist Ji has obtained a ‘Wild Prison Asparagus’ plant. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ji intends to sell it?”

Jiruding opened his eyes and looked around before focusing on Chen Ping:

"Who did you listen to, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Ping smiled:

"I heard it by chance. If fellow Taoist intends to sell it, I would like to buy it."

Wild prison aspartame grass is one of the three main herbs used to refine Zhenying Dan.

It is only the main ingredient for refining Zhenying Dan.

In other fields, it doesn't have much value.

Therefore, although this kind of grass is extremely rare, it sells for a not too high price.

After all, the True Ying Dan is only suitable for high-level body-refining monks, and there are not many body-refining monks themselves, and high-level ones are even rarer.

As long as Ji Ruding is willing to sell, Chen Ping can definitely afford it.

Regrettably.

Jiruding said without hesitation:

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, but this time I entered the secret realm specifically to find this medicinal material. If it is not for sale, I ask you, fellow Taoist, to find someone else."

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Ruding again. He didn't look like a person who was practicing body training.

But since they didn't want to sell, Chen Ping couldn't force him, so he had to leave.

Then I bought some auxiliary materials again.

Then he found Shiba resting in the Tianyin Sect monk gathering area again and asked her if she had seen anyone with any spiritual materials or fruits.

"Humph, I wouldn't tell you even if I knew." Shiba coaxed angrily.

"Don't be angry. How can an eighteen-year-old girl be angry? Being angry will make you grow old easily." Chen Ping comforted.

"Humph." The eighteen-year-old turned his head.

Chen Ping talked hard and finally agreed to help her protect the Dharma when she attacked Nascent Soul. He finally asked for some information and bought another supplementary material.

There is really no spiritual fruit.

Chen Ping finally realized it.

These herbs are really difficult to collect.

I don’t know how long it will last until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

never mind.

I went back and asked the shop assistant to keep an eye on it, but I was too lazy to collect it myself.

If you have this energy, it’s more cost-effective to slowly gain proficiency.

On the way back, I learned that Shiba's harvest this time was pretty good. She entered the secret realm mainly for experience. After this adventure, she was close to the eve of breaking through the Nascent Soul.

After you go back, you can retreat and try to break through the Nascent Soul.

Jia Zhongshou harvested some medicinal materials, and he wanted to ask someone to refine an Infant Transformation Pill.

For this third-level top elixir, Tianyin Immortal City also has alchemists who can make elixirs for others, but the prerequisite is that the client must collect the spiritual materials themselves, and the alchemist himself is only responsible for refining the elixirs.

Jia Zhongshou's current situation is the same as Chen Ping's.

Jia Zhongshou was collecting spiritual materials to refine the Infant Transformation Pill.

Chen Ping is collecting spiritual materials to refine Zhenying Dan.

"When you came to Tianyin Fairy City, your master didn't give you the Infant Transformation Pill?" Chen Ping was a little curious. He knew that Jia Zhong was already in the late stage of the Golden Pill when he came to Tianyin Fairy City.

"I gave you one, but the quality was not good. This kind of elixir is not easy to get. I also want to find someone to refine another one." Jia Zhong accepted.

Chen Ping guessed that it was not just a matter of quality.

It is estimated that Jia Zhongshou also hopes for one more pill to add an extra layer of insurance factor.

After returning to Tianyin Fairy City, Chen Ping registered the spiritual materials he needed in the shop, and chose to let nature take its course. If he really couldn't get these materials, he could forget about it and let his proficiency slowly improve.

Body training itself is an add-on.

Continue to make alchemy in the next time.

A year later, Shiba attacked Huaying in the Bixian Pavilion cave, and Chen Ping protected him.

It was relatively smooth. When the Taoist baby appeared in the sky above Bixian Pavilion, Chen Ping knew that it had successfully transformed into a baby.

Chen Ping carefully observed the appearance of the Nascent Soul and felt a little sorry for her.

Not quite perfect.

The Nascent Soul is divided into two types at the moment it transforms into a human being.

One is the fake baby.

The second is the real baby.

Fake babies refer to babies whose shape is not perfect, such as missing arms and legs. Or the baby may have all four limbs, but his aura is weak and he is in a non-meditating posture.

The true infant refers to the Nascent Infant in a meditative posture with a strong breath.

True babies are divided into false true babies and golden true babies.

Both are Nascent Souls in a meditating posture. The former has no golden light or the golden light is very weak, while the latter has golden light. The purer the golden light, the more powerful it is.

Under normal circumstances, whether a monk is a fake baby or a real baby can be distinguished by the senses once you encounter it.

But the fake real baby and the golden real baby cannot be distinguished by appearance.

There isn’t even a clear dividing line.

There is absolutely no chance for a fake baby to become a god. How far it can go in the grand realm of Nascent Soul depends on the efforts and compensation of the day after tomorrow.

Most of the cultivators who transformed themselves into spirits grew up from Jin Yuanying.

Generally speaking, among all the Nascent Souls, the number of Golden True Souls will not exceed 5%.

Chen Ping is the 5%.

It is the Nascent Soul with the purest golden light.

Of course, generally no one will tell others about their Nascent Soul state. This is generally a personal secret.

Judging from Shiba's Taoist appearance, Shiba's Nascent Soul should have touched the edge of the Golden Nascent Soul, but the golden light is relatively weak.

If you want to improve your golden light in the future, you will need to pay a lot.

And the effect is not necessarily good.

The road to becoming a god will be difficult.

"Thank you to Fellow Protector Chen, Shiba has successfully transformed into an infant. Fellow Daoist Chen can leave first, and Shiba will be in seclusion for a while." Shiba's voice came from the cave, and it was a happy voice.

There are very few people who can truly transform the Golden Nascent Soul.

Eighteen is already very satisfied.

"Okay, congratulations." Chen Ping responded outside the cave.

"Hehe, I am Jin Yuanying, and I have a little golden light. By the way, what kind of Yuanying was Daoyou Chen's transformation back then?" Shiba's voice came from the cave.

Chen Ping hesitated, thought for a moment and said:

"I'm about the same as fellow eighteen Taoists."

"Then let's work hard together in the future to catch up with Master and reach the point of suffering." Shiba's voice was light and ethereal.

A few years later.

Chen Ping's second-level Peiyuan Dangan has reached the full level.

And officially started to practice the third-level ‘Poison Elixir’.

In the twenty-second year after entering the second level of Yuanying, Chen Ping's third-level alchemy skill reached the full level.

After Rongrong agreed, he brought an alchemy furnace from the alchemy room to his cave and set up an alchemy furnace in one of the rooms.

Two in total.

One is a normal alchemy furnace.

The other is a simulated alchemy furnace.

The former is used for normal alchemy, and the latter is a small alchemy furnace that has been concentrated countless times. A normal amount of alchemy materials can be used 1,000 times in a simulated alchemy furnace.

This simulated alchemy furnace is mainly used by Bixian Pavilion for teaching purposes.

Chen Ping is just used to practice proficiency, so it won't consume too much material.

Originally, you could go outside and customize an alchemy furnace, but considering that the quality of the alchemy furnace will also affect the yield and the quality of the elixir.

The batch of alchemy furnaces in Bixian Pavilion have been inspected by Fairy Biyuan, and are of high quality and impeccable.

So naturally I chose to take two from Bixian Pavilion.

The reason why he moved to his cave was because Rongrong had been squeezed dry by him, and Rongrong himself was only a third-level alchemist.

Chen Ping himself wants to refine the fourth-level elixir next, so he naturally needs to keep it a secret.

Your own cave is the best place.

Twenty years later, the materials for Zhenying Dan are still not fully collected. The auxiliary materials are still lacking, and the main medicine is even worse. All three main medicines are out of stock.

Chen Ping decided to refine a fourth-level elixir to make money first.

He has done sufficient research over the years. There are not many of each type of fourth-level elixirs. There will basically no longer be the situation where 10 pills are sold in bottles of 1-3 levels. They are basically one pill in a bottle, which is very precious.

Every pill is valuable.

There are two most popular fourth-level elixirs.

One is the ‘Qi Shen Dan’.

This kind of elixir is the same as the first three levels of Qi-Building Pill, Qi-Gathering Pill, and Qi-Collecting Pill. They are all Qi-tonifying elixirs.

Needless to say, this type of elixir can instantly replenish a large amount of spiritual power, and is the first choice elixir for replenishing spiritual power during a war.

It is also the first choice elixir for practicing in an environment with insufficient spiritual energy.

There will always be a need.

The other one is the ‘Death Pill’.

This is an elixir that repairs one's own injuries. The body and soul can be repaired at the same time.

Undoubtedly, it is a must-have medicine for home travel.

After thinking about it, Chen Ping decided to refine Qi Shendan.

On the one hand, the demand for Qi Shen Dan is greater, and on the other hand, the raw materials of Qi Shen Dan are easier to obtain, which facilitates liver proficiency.

The most important thing is that Chen Ping found that the refining process of Qi Shen Dan and the refining process of Zhen Ying Dan were extremely close, with only a few details differing.

This means that as long as the Qi Shen Dan Gan reaches the full level, the alchemy of Zhen Ying Dan can also be improved.

now.

Under the simulated alchemy furnace, with Chen Ping's "rise", the ground fire jumped out.

Later, under Chen Ping's override, the ground fire was controlled at a moderate level.

The alchemy furnace quickly warmed up.

The first three stages and the fourth stage of this process are exactly the same. Chen Ping has done it countless times and is already familiar with it.

Soon, the heat of the alchemy furnace reached its optimal state, and the alchemy furnace began to continuously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. A low-grade spiritual stone floated above the alchemy furnace, and then was crushed out of thin air. The spiritual energy in the spiritual stone was instantly poured into it. In the alchemy furnace.

Refining normal Qi Shen Dan requires the use of top-grade spiritual stones, but now it is a simulated elixir refining, and low-grade spiritual stones are enough.

More than a dozen medicinal materials that had been accurately classified by Chen Ping on the table flew into the alchemy furnace in order, and then the upper lid of the alchemy furnace was closed.

Chen Ping looked inside.

A very small trace of baby fire in the dantian was moved out, floating below the alchemy furnace, and then formed a circle of flames to bake around the alchemy furnace under Chen Ping's spiritual power.

Fourth-level alchemy requires the blessing of infant fire.

Soon, Chen Ping, who was casting spells with his eyes closed, saw more than twenty kinds of spiritual materials in the alchemy furnace being continuously refining and floating in the air.

Under the guidance of the panel, Chen Ping realized which spiritual material had a little more quantity and that the elixir prescription was not accurate.

Realize which spiritual materials are added in the wrong order, which will affect the wrapping of spiritual energy by the refined materials.

I realized that in fact, we can also add another kind of spiritual material that is not included in the elixir at a certain link, so that the monks can absorb it for the best effect.

Refining alchemy, day after day.
