Chapter 22: Refining the Spirit-Enhancing Pill
After refining all the Qi-enhancing Pills.
Ye Qingxuan is about to start refining the Spirit-enhancing Pill!
Among the elixirs used in the Zengling Pill, the most important main ingredient is the Earth Spirit Flower.
The Earth Spirit Flower has twelve petals of different colors. Each of the twelve colored petals contains the essence of the twelve elements of the Earth Mysterious World.
This is also the main reason why Spirit Enhancement Pill can be applied to everyone and increase the conversion efficiency of spiritual roots.
The uses of earth spirit flowers are very broad. The earth spirit flowers of different years can be used as the main medicine or auxiliary medicine of different elixirs.
For example, the earth spirit flower used in Zeng Ling Dan is the earth spirit flower of the lowest year.
It’s not that a higher age is not used, but a higher age of the Earth Spirit Flower is used. With the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm, it is impossible to withstand the huge power of the medicine.
The so-called year does not necessarily mean one year of growth, but refers to the medicinal power contained in it.
The intensity of the spiritual energy is different, and the time required for the elixir to accumulate a year's worth of medicinal power is also different.
In the Xuantian Mountains, the growth rate of elixirs is astonishing, not to mention the blessed lands controlled by the Xuantian Sect’s blessings.
Even if it is just a first-level blessed land, the concentration of spiritual energy is affected by other high-level spiritual veins and assisted by blessing cultivation, and its effect is comparable to the second-level spiritual land or even the third-level spiritual land in the outside world.
This is also one of the reasons why Xuantian Sect vigorously developed Fujian Buddhism.
Ye Qingxuan took out the elixir needed for the Spirit Enhancement Pill and went through the refining process of the Spirit Enhancement Pill in his mind.
After confirming that it was correct, the first refining of the Spirit-enhancing Pill began.
One elixir was taken into the alchemy furnace at different points in time, and was slowly refined by the Tao fire.
It has to be said that refining the spiritual elixir is indeed very complicated. There are as many as seven elixirs used!
There are four more elixirs than those used in the Qi-Entraining Pill.
Moreover, refining the elixir-enhancing elixir has strict requirements on the time when the elixir is put into the furnace, the refining time, and even the fusion sequence and time.
If it weren't for Ye Qingxuan's amazing memory and perfect level of fire control, he might have failed long ago.
As time passed, Ye Qingxuan followed the process of the Spirit-increasing Pill recipe step by step.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Qingxuan had also reached the stage of fusion of the essence of the elixir.
Under the control of Ye Qingxuan, the essence of the elixir began to fuse in sequence, and the time and order of fusion were extremely precise!
As the elixir essence begins to merge, the elixir furnace gathers spirits!
I saw that the originally simple alchemy furnace began to light up slightly, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and continuously pouring it into the merging elixir essence.
Seeing this, the corners of Ye Qingxuan's mouth curled up slightly.
But the next second, the gathered spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic and collapsed, and the essence of the elixir in the alchemy furnace also evaporated instantly!
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingxuan said in disbelief:
"How is it possible? There is obviously nothing wrong, how could the process of condensing the Spirit-increasing Pill fail?"
Ye Qingxuan was puzzled, but he had no teacher who could explain it to him at this time.
Xuantian Sect naturally has its own alchemy hall. In the alchemy hall, there are dedicated people to answer questions for the sect’s alchemy masters.
However, that requires charging contribution points.
Unless Ye Qingxuan can pass the assessment of the Alchemy Hall and enter the Alchemy Hall, he can get some free teaching opportunities.
If you want to keep procrastinating for alchemy knowledge, you can only show your amazing alchemy talent and become a disciple of the elders of the Alchemy Palace. Then you will naturally be vigorously cultivated by the elders.
However, this is not the path Ye Qingxuan wants to take.
If he worships the elder of Dan Palace and becomes a disciple of the elder of Dan Palace, he will not be allowed to become a Buddhist monk!
As an immortal with low cultivation talent, becoming a Buddhist monk is Ye Qingxuan’s best cover.
Fu Xiu's long lifespan allows him to continue to live in Xuantian Sect without worrying about his apparent longevity.
A momentary setback is not enough to make Ye Qingxuan waver in his heart!
"Even if I only rely on myself, I don't believe that with my understanding, I will not be able to take the path of alchemy cultivation!"
Ye Qingxuan thought to himself, and then took out the recipe for the Spirit-increasing Pill and looked at it carefully.
After confirming that he had made no mistakes, Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes tightly and began to recall in his mind all the details of the alchemy process that he had observed with his spiritual consciousness.
Immerse yourself in the previous alchemy process and gain a deep understanding of your own refining techniques.
Looking at the refining process replayed in his mind, Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt enlightened:
"It's too mechanized!"
That's right, his method of refining the elixir is too mechanized. After realizing the truth in his heart, Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes and said softly:
"That's it!"
Although he refined the pill strictly according to the recipe, But his entire process was too mechanical and lacked some kind of change.
If elixirs can be refined by strictly following the elixir recipe process, how can the threshold for alchemists be so high?
The alchemy formula can only provide a general direction for the alchemist.
Although it is indeed possible to refine the elixir according to all the details of the elixir recipe, such details must be done under the same environment.
Even the details of alchemy will change depending on the climate and weather.
So, if you want to become a true alchemist, you must understand this change.
Only by gradually understanding and controlling this change can you become a true alchemist!
After mastering this change, using the alchemy formula as a blueprint, changing it according to changes in the outside world, and adapting to changes, you can truly become an alchemist.
This is also the key to refining high-level elixirs!
The reason why he was able to refine the Qi-Entraining Pill before was just because the level of the Qi-Entraining Pill was too low and its changes were limited.
So Ye Qingxuan can successfully refine the Qi-Entraining Pill by relying on mechanized techniques.
But the Spirit-enhancing Pill is different!
Although the pills are divided into levels one to nine, the Qi-Entraining Pill and the Spirit-increasing Pill are both first-level elixirs.
But elixirs of the same level are also divided into more detailed categories. Each level of elixir can be subdivided into four major grades: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade!
When the Qi-Entraining Pill is broken down, it can only be regarded as a first-order low-grade elixir, while the Spirit-increasing Pill is a first-order top-grade elixir.
This is also the reason why Ye Qingxuan discovered the proliferation of Qi-entraining pills in the city.
Without him, it is because the difficulty of refining the first-level low-grade Qi-inducing pill is too low.
Basically, as long as you memorize the elixir recipe and try it several times, it is not difficult for many monks to refine the Qi-inducing elixir.
After all, after becoming a monk, your body has evolved in all aspects, and everyone's memory is not bad.
The so-called geniuses of understanding, like Ye Qingxuan, are nothing more than that their soul origins are different from ordinary people and have a strong base, so the transformation brought about by practice will be much greater than that of ordinary people.
This is also the fundamental reason why geniuses of understanding can always be ahead of everyone in understanding.
But if the gap in cultivation is too great, then no matter how unparalleled their understanding is, it is impossible for a low-level monk to be able to compete with a peak powerhouse.
Do you really think that the realm of cultivation that others have achieved through hard work is just for free? Qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes are equally extraordinary!
After Ye Qingxuan knew the reason for his failure in refining the Spirit-enhancing Pill, he did not choose to stop refining the pill.
But after some meditation and recovery of spiritual power, he started refining the elixir again.
If you want to truly understand and control this change and turn it into your own instinct, you need to constantly understand it through alchemy.
It is impossible to master this change just by thinking hard on your own.
So in the next few days, Ye Qingxuan has been constantly trying to refine the spirit-enhancing pill.
Although every time he failed, Ye Qingxuan gained a lot from every failure.
As the feelings in my heart grow bigger and bigger.
Ye Qingxuan finally succeeded in refining the first batch of spiritual enhancement pills on the third day.
Still failed on the fourth day, but Ye Qingxuan was not discouraged, and the smile on his face gradually grew bigger.
The refining was successful on the fifth day!
Refining was successful on the sixth day!
Refining failed on the seventh day!
On the ninth day, as the batch of spirit-enhancing pills was successfully refined that day and turned into five pills, Ye Qingxuan finally took full control of this change.
So far, Ye Qingxuan has never failed in refining the spirit-enhancing pill in the following time.
And the number of elixirs began to gradually increase as Ye Qingxuan’s proficiency improved!
However, the Spirit-Enhancing Pill is, after all, a top-grade elixir. With Ye Qingxuan's current level of cultivation, refining a batch of Spirit-Enhancing Pill consumes too much spiritual energy.
So in order not to affect his own cultivation, in the days to come, Ye Qingxuan will only refine one batch of spiritual enhancement pills a day.
As Ye Qingxuan refined more and more spirit-enhancing pills, his cultivation resources were finally fully supplied.
From the 30 spirit-enhancing pills issued by the sect every month, on average, only one spirit-enhancing pill can be taken a day for practice.
Up to now, Ye Qingxuan can take three spiritual enhancement pills every day to practice!
A spiritual enhancement pill can last for three hours, doubling Ye Qingxuan's cultivation speed within three hours.
Taking three spirit-enhancing pills every day, Ye Qingxuan's amplification practice time increased from three hours to nine hours, which greatly increased his practice speed.
It's not that Ye Qingxuan doesn't want to take more pills, but that his body's meridians cannot withstand the long-term flushing of spiritual energy.
However, during the long period of practice, Ye Qingxuan's body meridians were not without gains, and the upper limit of their endurance was gradually increasing!
