Reincarnation Immortal God

Chapter 16: Alchemy

Soon after the competition in the martial arts arena, Li Xuanfeng felt that his progress began to slow down after his cultivation stabilized at the middle stage of Rong Ling.

The higher the realm of cultivation, the more powerful the spiritual energy required. It is normal for the progress of cultivation to slow down. Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power has been compressed and condensed three times, which is more powerful than the average middle stage of Rong Ling, so it takes more spiritual energy to cultivate to the perfection of the middle stage of Rong Ling.

Under such circumstances, Li Xuanfeng still cultivated to the perfection of the middle stage of Rong Ling after half a month. For a normal Rong Ling realm disciple, it is already amazing to be able to go from the beginning of the middle stage of Rong Ling to perfection within a month.

And Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power, which had been condensed three times, was cultivated to perfection in half a month. The key is that he still feels that the cultivation speed is too slow, and the Five Elements Venerables are beginning to have no idea how to attack him.

After reaching the perfection of the middle stage of Rong Ling, Li Xuanfeng began to use the secret method of refining spirit to compress and condense the spirit power. However, the middle stage of Rong Ling was much stronger than the early stage, so the speed of compression and condensation was also slowed down accordingly, and it took about five days to cultivate the spirit power again after one compression. Such a speed made Li Xuanfeng very helpless.

"Five Elements Venerable, do you know the art of alchemy?" Li Xuanfeng suddenly remembered the introduction of alchemy in the classics.

Refining natural materials and treasures, gathering the five elements of spiritual energy, breaking the bottleneck of cultivation, and becoming the great way of cultivation.

"Of course, I was a master of alchemy in the past, and I could refine the third level of elixir!" Five Elements Venerable smiled and guessed Li Xuanfeng's thoughts.

"Then teach me to refine the elixir, I want to make my cultivation faster." Li Xuanfeng asked impatiently.

"No problem, you just happen to have fire attribute spiritual power, which makes it easier to learn the art of alchemy." The Five Elements Venerable readily agreed. Learning the art of alchemy is indeed very convenient for improving cultivation in the future, so he began to explain the art of alchemy to Li Xuanfeng.

"The initial alchemy technique is to use spiritual fire to extract the essence of herbs and condense them into pills. Because many herbs have impurities or toxicity, using spiritual fire to extract them can effectively remove these impurities, making the essence of herbs easier to be absorbed by the human body, and will not accumulate impurities. If impurities accumulate too much, you will slowly find that your cultivation is hindered, increasing the difficulty of breakthrough in cultivation."

"When your alchemy technique reaches a superb level, it is no longer limited to refining heavenly materials and treasures. Everything in the world can be refined into pills, and you can seize the fortune of heaven and earth to achieve yourself. There was once a great man who refined a planet and swallowed it, and his cultivation broke through the bottleneck, shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods!"

The picture of refining a planet and swallowing it appeared in Li Xuanfeng's mind, and the shock in his eyes could not dissipate for a long time. Someone could actually refine a planet and swallow it. What kind of amazing cultivation can do it.

The Five Elements Venerable did not hold back at all for Li Xuanfeng, and explained the art of alchemy in great detail, and even patiently answered all the questions he asked.

Afterwards, Li Xuanfeng went to the trading pavilion of Xuanling Sect to buy some low-level herbs, and spent twenty spirit stones in the storage bag. These low-level herbs were relatively cheap, and twenty spirit stones were enough to buy a small pile. Among them were spirit gathering grass, three-flower fruit, and spiritual cinnamon twigs.

The Five Elements Venerable asked Li Xuanfeng to find some ordinary branches first, and let him condense the spirit fire for refining.

"Alchemy requires extremely high control of flames, otherwise it will easily burn the herbs. You are not proficient in controlling the spirit fire now. Take some ordinary branches to practice first, and peel off the bark of the branches with the spirit fire."

Li Xuanfeng mobilized his spiritual power to generate spirit fire in his right hand, but underestimated the power of the spirit fire for the first time, and threw the branches directly into the spirit fire, and the branches burned out instantly.

Li Xuanfeng looked embarrassed and took out another branch. This time, he carefully mobilized the spiritual fire to burn around the bark and kept rotating the branch.

After a few breaths, the bark was gradually burned to ashes, but the tree core wrapped in the bark also turned black. It was obvious that Li Xuanfeng did not control the spiritual fire perfectly and had burned the inside.

After that, Li Xuanfeng took out a few branches again and practiced patiently. After several failures, he finally managed to separate the bark and the tree core with the flame first, burning the bark without damaging the tree core.

At this time, the voice of the Five Elements Venerable echoed in Li Xuanfeng's mind, and he was finally slightly satisfied with Li Xuanfeng's performance.

The information conveyed by the Five Elements Venerable emerged in Li Xuanfeng's mind, which was a recipe for a pill.

The Soul Gathering Pill, a first-level pill, can quickly increase spiritual power or be used to restore the spiritual energy consumed in the body. It is refined by extracting the essence of the Soul Gathering Grass and the Three Flower Fruit. The essence of the Juling Grass is in the stem, and the essence of the Sanhua Fruit is in the core wrapped in the flesh...

Li Xuanfeng carefully browsed the information in his mind, closed his eyes and thought about the details, and began his first refining.

Juling Pill is an entry-level pill for alchemy. As long as the disciple has some talent for alchemy, he can easily master it within half a month. But the quality of the pills refined will be different depending on the alchemy qualifications.

Li Xuanfeng used the spiritual fire for a long time when he tried to unseal the Purple Destruction Stick before, and with the use of tree branches for practice, he has reached a relatively proficient level in controlling the spiritual fire.

Li Xuanfeng quickly mastered the method of removing impurities and extracting the essence. It was just that it was inevitable that the extraction would not reach a very pure level at the beginning, but it was enough to refine the Juling Pill.

Li Xuanfeng carefully controlled the spiritual fire to fuse and refine the extracted essence, and carefully controlled the temperature of the spiritual fire.

After failing to refine the pill the first time, he learned from the experience of refining and the explanation of the Five Elements Venerable, and successfully refined a Gathering Spirit Pill the second time. Looking at the gray-green round pill in his hand, Li Xuanfeng's eyes were excited.

"What's there to be happy about? The herbs you put in this time are enough to refine two Gathering Spirit Pills, but you only refined one, wasting half of the herbs, and you still have the nerve to be complacent."

Before Li Xuanfeng was happy, the Five Elements Venerable directly poured a basin of cold water on him, and the excitement in his eyes dissipated directly.

The disappointed Li Xuanfeng tried to refine again, and his proficiency improved rapidly. He could refine two pills the third time, and just when Li Xuanfeng was about to be happy, the Five Elements Venerable poured cold water on him again.

"The few soul-gathering pills you have refined now are almost all of low quality, and only one barely reaches the middle quality. That's because you didn't remove the impurities thoroughly enough. Such pills are not only much less effective, but also cause the body to accumulate herbal impurities. If the impurities cannot be effectively removed in the future, it may affect the breakthrough of cultivation."

"Don't take the pills you have refined now, and then refine better quality pills before taking them. These low-quality pills can be sold to the trading pavilion of your Xuanling Sect to exchange for spirit stones. The art of alchemy requires a large amount of spirit stones to buy medicinal materials. You lack spirit stones, so you can only refine pills and sell them yourself."

In fact, Li Xuanfeng knew that he could go to his master Shen Hua to get cultivation resources, but he didn't want to trouble his master and didn't want to owe him too much. After all, his master had saved his life and brought him into the cultivation world, and he was just an orphan brought back by his master out of pity.

In fact, Shen Hua never regarded Li Xuanfeng as an outsider. He just considered it as a normal disciple. He didn't need much cultivation resources in the middle stage of Rongling. Ten spirit stones plus the spirit stones that Li Xuanfeng won in the competition were enough for him to use for a long time. Moreover, Shen Hua had asked his eldest disciple Zheng Cheng to prepare some cultivation pills and spirit stones, and was ready to find an opportunity to give them to Li Xuanfeng.

After listening to the words of the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng absorbed experience and continued to refine, and asked the Five Elements Venerable from time to time how to improve the quality of the pill.

With continuous refining, Li Xuanfeng's proficiency in refining the Gathering Spirit Pill continued to improve, and the quality became higher and higher. He could already refine a top-grade Gathering Spirit Pill.

At the beginning, Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power would be exhausted after refining for half a day, and he could only absorb spiritual power to recover and continue refining. After several cycles, Li Xuanfeng's spiritual power increased a lot, and it was compressed and condensed again. Slowly, he could refine for most of the day. With the proficiency of controlling the spiritual fire, the consumption of spiritual power was reduced again.

During this period, the Five Elements Venerable once again passed on information about a pill recipe to Li Xuanfeng. This was a healing pill called Huiyuan Pill, which was made with Sanhua Fruit and Lingguizhi.

With continuous refining, Li Xuanfeng had already reached perfection in refining these two pills. On the last day, all the pills he refined were of top quality, and he could even refine four pills at the same time, greatly increasing the refining speed.

At this time, Li Xuanfeng was still on the fifth day of refining pills. If other alchemists knew about this, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would fall out.
