Immortal Path Evergreen

After sending his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong away, Zhang Zhixuan had another task, which was to learn alchemy.

Qingchan had already reached the first level of Qi training and could do a lot of work. Whether it was weeding, turning the fields, or looking after the white jade beehive, Qingchan had already learned it well.

When two people did the work of one person together, Zhang Zhixuan had some free time.

Every morning, as soon as the sun rose, Zhang Zhixuan began to practice the Qi Condensation Technique, refining the purple Qi of the morning sun every day, making plans for future foundation building.

Recently, Zhang Zhixuan has taught this spell to Qingchan.

This spell is very difficult to say, even if you have a good talent, you can't practice it. It is very simple to say that it is very simple, even mortals without spiritual roots can practice it.

To practice this spell, you need to visualize the purple sun in your mind. If you succeed, you can refine the innate purple Qi of every morning and then store the purple Qi in the Dantian.

When a cultivator refines mana, it is generally stored in the middle Dantian.

Although the upper and lower Dantian can also store mana, they are quite fragile. Mana is a very violent energy. If you are not careful, it will break through the upper and lower Dantian, causing the cultivator to die on the spot.

Therefore, unless some crazy cultivators, no one will develop the upper and lower Dantian, and there are few wonderful skills involving the upper and lower Dantian.

Although Qingchan can't speak, she is very spiritual and very smart. Under Zhang Zhixuan's careful explanation, she soon successfully visualized the purple sun and refined the first ray of purple air into the Dantian.

After Qingchan completely got started, Zhang Zhixuan began to read various pill recipes and pharmacology and began to learn alchemy.

The first-level elixir is very simple. It is some of the most basic elixir in the world of immortal cultivation. Most of them are suitable for innate cultivators to strengthen their foundation and nourish their essence.

This level of elixir contains only a trace of spiritual energy, which is not very useful for cultivators in the Qi training stage.

Zhang Zhixuan first refined the first-level top-grade Bigu pill.

There are countless recipes for the spiritual elixir of Bigu Pill. The highest-level Bigu Pill is of the third level. Even if a cultivator in the foundation-building stage takes one pill, he can be full for a year.

The simplest Bigu Pill is only of the first-level lower grade. Even if an ordinary mortal takes it, it can only last for seven days at most.

The main material of Bigu Pill is spiritual rice, and there are seven or eight kinds of auxiliary medicines, all of which are ordinary ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials. Not only can it fill the stomach, but it also has some effects of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence.

The Bigu Pill recipe in Zhang Zhixuan's hand is of the first-level upper grade. The main material is the best chalcedony rice, and the auxiliary material is a ginseng plant over a hundred years old. There are also seven or eight other precious medicinal materials.

Zhang Zhixuan first soaked the chalcedony rice in well water, and then used the flying knife to cut the Xuanyang wood into small pieces more than an inch long.

Then he lit the Xuanyang wood and put the alchemy furnace on the fire.

Zhang Zhixuan carefully controlled the temperature of the spiritual fire, then added well water with sufficient spiritual energy to the alchemy furnace, and put the herbs into the furnace one by one.

The burning temperature of Xuanyang wood is extremely high, far exceeding that of ordinary flames. Although it is not as good as the earth fire or the true fire in the body of a foundation-building cultivator, it can also be used to refine low-level elixirs.

Some first-level elixirs do not even require spiritual fire, and can be refined with ordinary fire.

Zhang Zhixuan's Bigu Pills are difficult to melt with ordinary fire because of the first-level chalcedony rice, so he ignites Xuanyang wood and uses Xuanyang wood with a higher burning temperature to refine the pill.

The first few times of refining pills, due to unreasonable control of the spiritual fire temperature, all ended in failure, and a lot of chalcedony rice was wasted, causing Qingchan to complain.

Every time he failed to refine the pill, Zhang Zhixuan would record the experience of the failed alchemy in detail. After more than a dozen summaries, Zhang Zhixuan's experience in controlling fire became more and more proficient, and finally he successfully refined the first batch of Bigu Pills two months later.

After refining the first-level elixir, Zhang Zhixuan was already an apprentice in alchemy, and he soon told the mountain gate about the news.

Not long after, the fourth uncle went down the mountain again. This time he brought some common spiritual herbs and increased the resources invested in Zhang Zhixuan.

In the following year and a half, Zhang Zhixuan successively learned five or six low-level spiritual pills, including the first-level lower-grade Yangyuan Pill, the first-level upper-grade bone-setting pill, the first-level middle-grade bear gall pill, and the first-level upper-grade Xuanyu Paste.

Zhang Zhixuan has a fire spiritual root and is sensitive to the temperature changes of spiritual fire. In addition, he has good comprehension and is good at summarizing experience.

So he learned alchemy very quickly. In just two years, he became a good alchemy apprentice, which made the elders in the family very pleased and increased the resources invested in him.

Time passed quickly. After another two years, with the family's large investment of resources, Zhang Zhixuan's alchemy skills made rapid progress. In just a few years, he successfully refined four or five second-level spiritual pills and successfully advanced to a second-level alchemist.

Although his current alchemy skills are far inferior to those of his ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan, his success rate in refining a second-grade medium-quality elixir is less than 30%.

If converted into spirit stones, it can only barely break even, and it cannot earn much spirit stones for the family.

Even so, it still alarmed the clan leader Zhang Leqian. Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan learned alchemy so quickly, which was far beyond the expectations of the family elders, Zhang Leqian was also very pleased and gave Zhang Zhixuan a magic weapon from his collection.

The grade of this magic weapon is even higher than the second grade. It is a disposable magic weapon, a third-grade lower-grade fire thunder bead.

Although this fire thunder bead can only be used once, its power is far greater than the fire thunder wood talisman in Zhang Zhixuan's hand.

Even a cultivator in the foundation-building stage may be attacked by this disposable magic weapon if he is not prepared.

During these four years, Zhang Zhixuan not only became a second-level middle-grade alchemist, but also improved his cultivation, breaking through two levels in succession and entering the eighth level of Qi training.

With the help of the Shuiling Pot, Zhang Zhixuan no longer lacked resources for cultivation.

With sufficient spiritual energy, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation did not encounter bottlenecks. He broke through two levels of bottlenecks in five years and entered the eighth level of Qi training.

At this point, his cultivation was second only to the five elders of the family, and he was considered a small master in the family.

In these years, he also completed the sacrifice and refining of most of the magic tools seized in the market.

In the fierce battle in the market, he killed an old monk at the eighth level of Qi training, not only took away the old monk's storage jade box, but also obtained a second-level middle-grade magic tool gourd.

After several years of refining, the restriction set by the old monk in the storage jade box has been cracked by Zhang Zhixuan.

There weren't many good things in the jade box, only a few spirit stones, seven or eight low-level spirit talismans, and not even a spare magic weapon.

Later in the cave, he killed a black-clothed man who was at the seventh level of Qi training, and obtained a second-level medium-quality flying knife and a broken second-level medium-quality shield.

After returning to the mountain gate, he gave the broken shield to his fourth uncle Zhang Menglong to take back to the mountain gate and gave it to the eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin to repair it.

Eighteenth aunt Zhang Mengqin was less than fifty years old, and it had been almost ten years since she cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training. She had a fire spirit root, but she did not choose to refine pills, but chose the profession of refining weapons.

The Cuizhu sword in Zhang Zhixuan's hand was made by her.

Zhang Zhixuan spent an extra twenty spirit stones and finally let the eighteenth aunt take action. She used several second-level spirit ores to completely melt the wooden shield in it and repaired the shield magic weapon again.

What was even more surprising was Xiao Qingchan. She had only practiced for four years in the four and a half years in the spiritual field, and her cultivation had already reached the sixth level of Qi training. In another three to five years, she might be able to catch up with Zhang Zhixuan.

Because Qingchan had already cultivated well, Zhang Zhixuan handed over his shield magic weapon, fire thunder wood talisman, golden knife wood talisman and other magic weapons to her, and also attached more than a dozen low-level spiritual talismans.

Because Qingchan's progress in cultivation was extremely amazing, Zhang Zhixuan had not dared to take her to meet the family's cultivators in the past one or two years, so as not to leak the news and leave any hidden dangers.
