Chapter 4 Insights on Alchemy
Back in my small courtyard, it was getting late. After dinner, I returned to my room early.
Take out the alchemy experience left by your grandfather and study it seriously.
Lin Shigong is a first-level high-grade alchemist. He can refine most first-level elixirs. He is the best alchemist in the Lin family.
Due to his failure to break through the foundation building stage, he has been unable to refine second-level elixirs.
In addition, the Lin family also has a first-level mid-level alchemist, Lin Xingyuan, Lin Tianming's uncle. He is ranked fifth in the Xing generation and has a ninth-level Qi refining level. He is one of the most talented clan members in the Xing generation.
Alchemists are highly respected in the world of immortality. Whether they are low-level monks, high-level monks, or even high-level monsters, they cannot do without the assistance of elixirs.
For millions of years in the world of immortal cultivation, the number of monsters and humans has not only increased, but it has become increasingly difficult for high-level monks to break through. The biggest reason is the lack of elixir resources.
It is said that in the ancient times hundreds of thousands of years ago, there were several times as many high-level monks of the human and demon races as there are now.
In that period, there were many elixirs and spiritual objects, abundant resources for cultivating immortals, and the four major cultivating skills of alchemy, weapon formation, talisman making, reached the highest level in history.
After hundreds of thousands of years of excessive mining, the elixirs were scarce, and the inheritance of many ancient elixir recipes and refining methods was cut off.
The alchemist can give full play to the maximum effect of the elixir, purify and compress the essence of the elixir, and refine it into elixirs. This will not waste the elixir, but also reduce the side effects caused by the elixir.
So elixirs have always been a resource for cultivating immortals in short supply in the world of cultivating immortals.
First- and second-level elixirs are okay and are sold in all major markets. However, third- and fourth-level elixirs are even rarer. It is generally difficult to see them except in large-scale markets or auctions.
The number of high-level alchemists is equally rare, and elixirs are always in short supply. This shows how popular alchemists are.
Training an alchemist requires a lot of resources. Each alchemist is made by accumulating various elixirs.
The other three major skills are equally difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult for casual practitioners to afford them.
In the past eight hundred years, the Lin family has never had a first-level alchemist, and there have only been two second-level alchemists, a second-level low-level alchemist and a second-level mid-level alchemist.
Mainly because the Lin family's financial resources are limited and a large number of clan members need to be fed, they cannot afford the materials needed for alchemists, which also makes it difficult for the Lin family to have high-level monks.
The Lin family’s main source of income is Qing Ling Bamboo, the first-level weapon training material in Qingzhu Mountain. They can sell a batch of Qing Ling Bamboo spiritual materials every year, plus the family refines some of the spiritual weapons and earns back part of the spiritual stones. .
The Lin family also has several first-level weapon trainers, and a second-level weapon trainer. The Qingling Sword was refined by the Lin family, some of which are used by themselves, and most of which are sold to other casual cultivators through shops in Fangshi.
As for alchemy, the Lin family can only give priority to meeting the cultivation needs of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage. The second-level elixirs used by the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage can only be purchased in major markets.
Due to restrictions on elixirs, the Lin family made up their mind to train their own second-level alchemists.
Lin Tianming, Lin Tianhong, and Lin Tianqin have spiritual roots suitable for alchemy. In addition, they are young and have considerable potential, so they are the key targets for training.
Took out the alchemy experience left by my grandfather and pondered it attentively.
Bigu Pill, Lingyuan Pill, Poison-Reducing Pill, Yuan-Returning Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill...
Poison-Removing Pill, a first-level middle-grade elixir, can neutralize most first-level monsters. It has the effect of poison, but it has little effect on some ancient monsters with extraordinary talents. It can only suppress the spread of poison in a short period of time, but cannot cure it.
Although it cannot resolve all toxins, it can also inhibit most toxins. It is one of the elixirs commonly kept by human monks.
Hui Yuan Dan is a first-level middle-grade elixir that has the effect of quickly restoring spiritual power. A single Hui Yuan Pill can restore most of one's own spiritual power in a few breaths of time.
The Huiyuan Pill and the Poison-Reducing Pill are both consumable elixirs. They are one of the necessary elixirs for monks to fight. At critical moments, they may be able to save one's life.
Marrow Cleansing Pill, a first-class high-grade elixir, has the effect of cleansing the marrow and expanding the meridians. It can strengthen the monk's physical body, speed up the absorption of spiritual energy, and expand one-tenth of the capacity of his own Qi Sea Dantian, which is extremely unnatural.
When monks fight, the more spiritual energy they have, the more protection they will have. Often the key to victory or defeat lies in the competition of deep spiritual energy. The Marrow Cleansing Pill is one of the first-level elixirs that is more difficult to refine. One of the medicines. The Barrier-Breaking Pill is a first-level high-grade elixir that contains a large amount of spiritual energy. After taking it, it can break the bottleneck during the Qi refining period. It is expensive. Each Barrier-Breaking Pill costs hundreds of spirit stones. Every time it is sold, it is quickly sold out. The Barrier-Breaking Pill He Marrow Cleansing Pill is one of the most popular pills for Qi Practitioners.
Only one pill can be taken, more than one dose will be ineffective.
The Alchemy Experience records more than twenty kinds of elixirs and prescriptions, all of which are well-known elixirs in the world of immortality. There are also hundreds of elixirs introduced in quite detail.
Looking at the back, there is an introduction to the Foundation Establishment Pill!
The Foundation Building Pill, a second-level elixir, is an auxiliary pill that can break through the Foundation Building Stage during the Qi Refining Period. It can increase the probability of Foundation Building by 50% and is one of the Foundation Building Spiritual Items.
The Foundation Building Pill is the most lacking pill in the Lin family.
The foundation building pill is rare because its main medicine, the 500-year-old white jade grass, is extremely difficult to cultivate and transplant, and its survival rate is extremely low.
It must be five hundred years old before it can be used to make elixirs. Cultivating it from seeds is relatively easy to survive, but the cultivation time is too long. Only major sects of immortality and aristocratic families with thousands of years of inheritance can cultivate it.
Pure wild white jade grass is already rare, and most of it has been discovered and picked by monks. I am afraid it will only appear in places where monsters live.
The reason why the Lin family only has two Foundation Establishment Stage monks is because Foundation Establishment Pills are expensive, with each pill selling for tens of thousands of spirit stones. Only a small amount of Foundation Establishment Pills appear in the auction. Every time there is an auction, major companies Family forces are competing for the price, and there is no market for the price.
A Foundation Establishment Pill requires the Lin family to accumulate enough funds for decades, so the Foundation Establishment Pill is the lifeblood of a small family, and big forces will not let the Foundation Establishment Pill escape easily.
After reading the introduction of various elixirs, I began to study the experience of refining elixirs.
Because his father Lin Xingrong often returned to his family and Luoyunfang City and rarely reunited, he followed his grandfather Lin Shigong since he was a child, helping his grandfather sort elixirs and organize information on elixirs.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he became fascinated by alchemy. He showed his talent for alchemy since he was a child and was deeply loved by his grandfather. He was already old and wanted to teach his skills to his grandson and inherit his legacy.
Today, three materials have been refined to refine a Bigu Pill, but it still has flaws. Lin Tianming couldn't help but sigh, it is not that easy to make an elixir.
With his grandfather's words and deeds, Lin Tianming's understanding of alchemy has been brought to a new level. What he needs now is to practice diligently and keep trying.
Go to the Family Shanggong Hall tomorrow. You need to get an alchemy furnace and some elixirs. If you want to make elixirs, in addition to the elixirs and alchemy furnaces, you also need to use earth fire to make elixirs.
Before the monks formed the elixir, their magic power was not pure enough and the condensed flames were not hot enough, so they could only use earth fire to refine the elixir and refine the weapon. After forming the elixir, they could use their own golden elixir fire to refine the elixir and the weapon, and the effect was better than Earth fire is much better.
There is an underground fire running through the ground of the Lin family. It has existed for a long time and has existed since the founding of the clan.
After the ancestors made great efforts to arrange the formations, they opened up five alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms. After more than 800 years of maintenance, they used earth fire to refine alchemy and weapon training, creating a lot of wealth for the Lin family. .
After more than 800 years of development, the Lin family quickly established a foothold in Qingzhu Mountain, relying on the cultivation of their ancestor Lin Renfeng during the Golden Core Period.
The Lin family has grown from a dozen clan members in the early days to today, with 175 monks and hundreds of thousands of mortals.
After the ancestor passed away, the family experienced many fights and fights, almost destroying the family.
Relying on the treasures left by their ancestors to protect the family, they survived the disaster. After the crisis, the Lin family became more united and gradually recovered their strength in recent years.
Lin Tianming gained a lot after studying the alchemy experience left by his grandfather. He only needs to practice diligently. I believe it won’t be long before he can make alchemy on his own.
This is the benefit of family. Having an elder who teaches by words and deeds, and who teaches without reservation, can greatly reduce misunderstandings. If you blindly explore on your own, you may not be able to figure out even the most basic procedures.
After three hours of meditation, Lin Tianming put away the jade tube and lay down on his bed.
Late at night, the bamboo trees outside the house were rustling in the wind, and Lin Tianming, who looked tired, fell into a deep sleep.
