The Qingnang Valley behind Changfu Yao Lao is within the Tianjie Sect and is considered to be quite powerful. Although it cannot be compared with the long-established sects such as Fengxu Sect, it is still highly respected and sought after because of the existence of Changfu Yao Lao, the holy hand of alchemy.
Changfu has contacts with many Dongxu monks, and has extensive friendships among his colleagues. This matter of the demon species was invited by the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance to discuss whether to use elixirs to eliminate them. The possibility of a demon species. To this day, several alchemy masters have consulted ancient books and tried for many years before they came up with a soul-purifying and heart-solidifying elixir that can eliminate the demonic seeds that are still in their infancy in the monks' bodies.
It’s just that this kind of elixir is bold in its use. The properties of several major elixirs are very violent and difficult to tame easily. At present, only earth-level alchemists can try to refine it, and the number and quality of the resulting elixirs are still difficult to say.
The recipe for the Pure Soul and Heart-Strengthening Pill was released as early as when many alchemists entered the city. The original intention was for each alchemist to learn how to refine it to meet future needs. However, Changfu Yao Lao and others gradually discovered that these monks who learned to refine the soul-purifying and heart-solidifying elixir were more or less affected after they completed the elixir. These effects appeared on the soul, and were extremely slight. So no one noticed it at first.
Later, Changfu Yaolao and others discovered that there was actually something wrong with the refining method. In normal times, if the alchemist wanted to smoothen the properties of the medicine, he would mostly use true energy to suppress it. However, the refining of the soul-purifying and heart-solidifying elixir requires the alchemist to use the power of his spiritual thoughts to smooth out the stubbornness in the elixir and condense it into a pill. This loss is negligible to Monk Dongxu and does not constitute a burden at all. However, for most earth-level alchemists with low cultivation levels, if they use this method to refine elixirs for a long time, their souls will be weakened and they will suffer the consequences.
Therefore, not long after, several alchemy masters in the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance ordered the alchemists in the city not to refine this elixir at will. Later, Changfu Yao Lao came forward to hold regular examinations in the city, and the content was mostly for guidance. Special elixir refining methods, or the elixir recipe is announced so that monks can try to refine it.
These elixir recipes are simpler than the Soul Purifying and Heart-Reinforcing Pills. They are developed step by step to find out how to refine the Soul-Refining and Reinforcing the Heart elixir without harming the alchemist himself.
Changfu Yao Lao carefully selected the alchemists who had passed the examination and eliminated those with weak souls. Today, there are only less than twenty earth-level alchemists left. These alchemists are getting better and better day by day, and their souls are much more stable and powerful than before. After that, they will refine the soul-purifying and heart-solidifying elixir again, and even continue to hone the power of their spiritual thoughts. This is actually a great achievement for the alchemists. A benefit.
Considering that the time is gradually ripe, Changfu Yao Lao wants to take the last exam today. If these ten people are no longer affected, then this step-by-step method can be applied to other monks. , it can be handed over to the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance so that each sect can teach disciples.
This is also the reason why, although the alchemists in the examination meeting have their own backgrounds, none of them can be considered extremely outstanding, and the personal disciples of the alchemy masters are not among them.
Poor Sun Jing offered a lot of elixirs to Cao Zhen, but he didn't know that as a long-time inheritor of the elixir of long-lasting blessings, he came here to take the exam just for the sake of his teacher's instructions and just came here for a formality.
The sun is getting brighter, and the carriages and horses outside Shijian Palace are like dragons. The cars of many famous alchemists are parked here, but the figures of Bai Xiaoran, Sun Jing and others have not yet appeared here.
The alchemist was proud of his status and would not come here to wait too early. He waited until the appointed time was approaching and then saw Bai Xiaoran and Sun Jing arriving late.
As a disciple of the Yuecang Sect, Bai Xiaoran became a disciple of the External Transformation monk in his early years. The External Transformation monk was also a member of the Alchemy Way. Unfortunately, he was already very old and had been unable to make any progress over the years. For this reason, Bai Xiaoran was specially accepted as his disciple, taught carefully, and passed down the mantle.
Under the earnest teachings of his mentor, Bai Xiaoran was able to refine most earth-level elixirs after entering the true infant stage, and became prominent among earth-level alchemists. However, after reaching this state, her teacher could no longer give her much guidance. There are generally only two choices before Bai Xiaoran. One is to find another teacher within the sect in order to make progress; the other is to explore on one's own and seek other adventures. All the ways in Yuecang Sect are prosperous, and there are still alchemy masters in the Dongxu realm in the sect. Even if Bai Xiaoran cannot come into contact with this level of power, there is no lack of heaven-level alchemy masters in Yuecang Sect, so the former has no influence on her. So far, it is indeed feasible. And her former teacher, the already old external monk, had no intention of stopping her at all.
After all, for Bai Xiaoran, a disciple of the Ten Righteous Sects, it is always safer to rely on a powerful sect than to fight alone.
It is a pity that the heaven-level alchemy masters in Yuecang Sect are full of talented people, and there is no shortage of people who can inherit the mantle. Moreover, such monks put a lot of energy on research, and they are not As longevity approaches, few are willing to distract themselves from teaching their disciples. Bai Xiaoran could not find a heaven-level alchemist who was willing to accept a disciple. He wanted to be his disciple, but he could not find a suitable person to become his disciple. It was only after a delay of more than ten years that he heard that a heaven-level alchemy master in his sect wanted to become his disciple. Preach and recruit disciples.
This person followed a master of alchemy to the City of Swords a few years ago. Bai Xiaoran followed him here in order to create some reputation in the city so that this heaven-level alchemist could notice him. .
Speaking of which, it somewhat coincides with Sun Jing.
When he stepped into the Sword Palace, there were only two sticks of incense left before the agreed time. Bai Xiaoran whispered to his medicine boys, asking them to warm the stove and fan the fire first, and place various elixirs around them for easy access when refining the medicines. The more than ten alchemy masters at the examination meeting were all non-extraordinary fire monks. Fortunately, after the true infant stage, monks can use the true essence to induce the fire in the body, so there is no need to use earth fire to refine the elixir, but the latter has its function. , after all, it is still not as powerful as the alien fire.
To directly use the fire of the true essence to make the furnace to refine the medicine, the loss is not small for the alchemist. Warming the furnace with the earth fire in advance is an auxiliary method. Although Bai Xiaoran's attainments are high, his realm is not high. It's great, so the less loss, the better.
After giving instructions to his men, he noticed that Yi Wen's breathing was heavy. Bai Xiaoran looked up and saw Sun Wanchen leading the way in a flattering way. His brother Sun Jing was smiling slightly, and he was also with a few disciples. Surrounded by a young man in sapphire blue clothes, Yan Yan walked into the Palace of Swordsmen with a smile.
The young man looked calm, his eyes raised, and he showed a bit of arrogance unconsciously. He seemed to be quite curious about the Sword Palace. When he looked around, he didn't notice Sun Jing's eyes. , there is an occasional flash of depression.
Bai Xiaoran narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Sun Jing's expression. After a moment, he had a guess about the young man's identity.
This person may be Cao Zhen of Qingnang Valley, a direct disciple of Changfu Yaolao.
