The Foundation Establishment Pill is a special elixir that only appeared after Emperor Yuan clarified the realm of cultivation and settled on the six realms of Qi training, foundation building, pill formation, Yuanying, spirit transformation, and return to the void.
In terms of refining difficulty, it requires a second-level high-grade alchemy attainment, and the required spiritual materials are relatively rare among second-level people.
However, this foundation-building elixir was refined to help Qi-training monks break through to the foundation-building realm.
This allows the refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill to have an innate framework set up. No matter how proficient in the Dan Dao, they basically work hard on similar key points.
To put it bluntly, it is a dojo inside a snail shell.
Li Qing had already watched Liu He make alchemy before.
Now with the spiritual power of a fifth-level wizard, combined with two different foundation-building elixir recipes, even if it is the first time to refine it, Li Qing is not only sure of success, but has a success rate of more than half.
Zhenren Cao brought the alchemy material this time, so he naturally had to go back with the results, and Li Qing couldn't let him stay for a long time.
In desperation, he had no choice but to entrust Li Yu to take Master Qingli to see the growth of the Qinglian plant, and he hung a "retreat" sign outside the cave.
The reason is also ready: today I am discussing the Tao with all the Master Jiedan and the Lord of the Blessed Land, and I feel something in my heart - no one should bother him again.
His eyes were slightly closed, his consciousness turned sharply, and he recalled the scene of Liu He refining the Foundation Establishment Pill several times.
After a while, he opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes: "Well, we can start refining."
He raised his hand and took out a few jade bowls, condensing the sweet rain. Three kinds of spiritual water, such as jelly, ointment, and sweet spring water, are then soaked in several of the elixirs according to the medicinal properties of the elixirs.
The quality of the three elixirs that Master Cao brought, Xuan Yang Ginseng, one of the main medicines, was all average and not as good as the half-step "King of Medicine" that he had seen before.
Li Qing simply soaked and refined the three kinds of spiritual water at the same time, and then found that the one soaked in Liquan had the best quality.
The other auxiliary medicines also have their own suitable spiritual water.
"It saves me the trouble of many debuggings." Li Qing chuckled and started the subsequent steps of alchemy.
He popped out a stream of nirvana and used his small magical power to transform into the shape of an alchemy furnace, slowly raising the temperature.
A phantom of a divine bird flickered slightly in the furnace. Although it had no spirituality, it was simulated very smartly.
Li Qing thought for a moment, then took out the fire spirit bead and threw it into the furnace, inducing the nirvana fire to make the elixir fire in the furnace even more magical.
He waited for a moment, until the medicinal properties of Xuanyang Ginseng were fully stimulated by the spiritual water, and then he took out the one with the worst properties that was soaked in mandarin rain, and threw it into the alchemy furnace together with a Yin Ganoderma with the worst properties. middle.
With a "boom", a blazing flame exploded in the furnace, but under Li Qing's control, the elixir material was not burned.
With a "bang" sound, Li Qing closed the Nirvana Pill Furnace and performed a series of tricks according to the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe.
In the alchemy furnace, Xuanyang Ginseng and Yin Ganoderma lucidum quickly changed under the calcination of the Nirvana Fire.
The ginseng soaked in sweet rain melts like beeswax, like drops of honey, yellow, shiny, and crystal clear.
The Yin Ganoderma exploded with a "bang" and turned into a faint silvery mist, slowly flowing around the droplets.
The two interact with each other, and the properties of the medicine produce extremely subtle changes, just like the transformation of yin and yang, which contains some kind of great truth.
The truth behind this was completely incomprehensible even if Li Qing was blessed with the power of the Lord of the Blessed Land.
But he is still a fifth-level wizard, and his soul has already undergone transformation, no less than that of Master Jiedan.
So, he quickly grasped some of the details of the changes, and while refining the elixir, he also adjusted the movement of his true energy bit by bit.
"No wonder, fellow Taoist Liu He kept it a secret last time. It turns out that refining elixir is like refining oneself, and the way of alchemy is practice. There is really a secret in this that is not passed on."
In fact, if Liu He said this, After hearing this, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood, because he could not understand this level at all. Li Qing was refining the elixir while practicing comparatively. After about an hour, the droplets of xuanyang ginseng and the mist of yin ganoderma finally merged together.
The fire in the furnace went from warm to strong, and then from strong to warm again, nine times, until the elixir in the furnace turned into a handful of light yellow powder.
Li Qing pointed at the alchemy furnace and opened the top cover, revealing the faintly refreshing fragrance of ginseng and sesame.
But it was completely different from the feeling that made people feel restless when Liu He refined it.
Li Qing temporarily extinguished the fire, scanned it repeatedly with his spiritual consciousness, and was surprised to find: "Hey, it seems that the second step of yin and yang reconciliation is not needed anymore?"
The two flavors The elixir is blended almost perfectly.
But this was Li Qing’s first time refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. He was afraid that something would go wrong, so he still followed the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, put some prepared medicinal powder into the furnace, and mixed it with the ginseng root powder. One place.
After the powder was mixed evenly, Li Qing put the essence of Xuanshui into the furnace, along with a dozen other medicinal materials.
These medicinal materials belong to the five elements, and the foundation-building pill refined from them can achieve a balance among the five elements. It is universal among human monks who have all the innate spiritual roots of the five elements.
The essence of Xuanshui wraps different medicinal materials and suspends them below the ginseng mushroom powder.
Under the baking of Nirvana, the essence of Xuanshui absorbs the essence of the elixir, and then strings of fine bubbles pop out.
The bubbles quickly evaporate and turn into five-color light mist, soaking the ginseng mushroom powder.
The five colors in the furnace turned into rays of light and surrounded them. Even Li Qing himself couldn't distinguish the changes with his eyes for a while.
Soon, there was a sound of boiling water in the furnace, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, accompanied by a little bit of gray smoke escaping from the furnace hole.
This is the third step in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, balancing the five elements and accumulating the elixir.
Afterwards, Li Qing put other different elixir materials into the furnace one after another, producing other changes.
With his alchemy talent, he keenly noticed: "It seems that there is no need to invest in certain spiritual materials?"
Some of this unnecessaryness is due to the alchemist. The level is not enough, and the medicinal properties are not evenly blended. You can only adjust it by "adding more water to noodles, and adding more noodles to water."
But some of them, Li Qing felt, were purely interference items, adding a layer of mystery to the Foundation Establishment Pill.
“No wonder there are so few foundation building pills on the market. The Xuan Palace ban is one of them, but there is also a reason why there is something wrong with this pill recipe.”
“However, I think it’s not Daoist Liu He’s fault. . Maybe this was what he looked like when he got the prescription?"
Li Qing shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, but threw in the fourth main ingredient, "Chong Ming Cao".
With a "buzz" sound, the halo of the fire disappeared, leaving only the fire slowly baking.
With the help of the light-extinguishing properties of Chongmingcao, the Foundation-Building Pill can complete the nine spiritual transformations, thereby making the medicinal properties of the pill purer.
Actually, Jiuxuanguo is more suitable to be used here than Chongmingcao.
Li Qing privately planted the Jiuxuan Fruit before and asked Liu He to help refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. In fact, the quality of the finished pill should be better.
But now that I think about it, Liu He’s attainments in Dan Dao are actually average. He can only copy the pill recipes without knowing how to adapt them, and he has not been able to produce many genuine Foundation-Building Pills.
As a result, Li Qing failed to build the foundation by relying on an inferior foundation-building pill.
