Chapter 647 Alchemy
What should be used to impress Senior Bai Ling to refine the spirit nourishing elixir for him?
Li Qing thought hard for a long time, but after all he couldn't come up with a result.
So he finally planned to ask the other party directly. Instead of thinking about it himself, it would be better to directly ask Bailing Daojun what he needed.
"Senior Bai Ling, I want to ask you to refine the elixir for me. I don't know what price I have to pay for you to do it." Li Qing asked solemnly.
As soon as he said these words, a wisp of green smoke floated out from the fairy green and gold on Li Qing's body, and soon formed a slightly illusory and tall figure.
With a smile on his face, Lord Bai Ling asked, "You want to make a deal with me? That's interesting. I thought you would just ask me to help you make alchemy."< br>
However, Li Qing asked himself that he could not do such a thing of asking for a favor, so he said: "In the eyes of seniors, am I just so ignorant of what is called a person?"
"I have been in trouble several times. Senior Bai Ling took action for me. Even if senior is willing, I would be embarrassed to continue to speak out."
"So I want to know what other unfulfilled wishes senior has and what I can do about it. What?”
Unfortunately, Bailing Daojun's answer to his obsession was quite light. He said nonchalantly:
"Alas, I am just an obsession that remains in the world at the moment. In addition to finding a suitable successor, I have no one else to seek but the disciples of my inheritance."
"When this matter is over, I will disappear into the world."
"Forget me. There were still some other unfulfilled wishes before your death, but what can you do with your current cultivation level? "
Bailing Daojun was a powerful monk in the god-transformation stage during his lifetime, standing tall in the entire world of immortality? Every move of a top figure can easily cause fluctuations in the entire world of immortality.
With such an existence, even if he really had an unfulfilled wish during his lifetime, it is not something that Li Qing can help with now.
After hearing this, Li Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that the equivalent transaction he proposed to the other party was really overestimating his capabilities.
But Li Qing did not intend to give up just yet, just because the current situation of Lingyun Sect was really not optimistic, and he was eager to quickly improve his cultivation.
“Senior Bai Ling, although I only have the cultivation level of the Dan Formation stage now, I may not have the opportunity to experience more scenery on the road in the future.”
“The world is unpredictable. Maybe one day in the future, I will be able to achieve the stage of becoming a god?”
The smile on Bailing Daojun's face became a little brighter. He nodded and said:
"You have practiced the "Soul Refining Sutra" and you have good luck. As for what you said, I won’t doubt it. I even think that you will be able to break the shackles one day and ascend to the upper world.”
“But when that day comes, I will have long since died. There are still other things. What’s the point?”
“After death, all the past grudges will disappear. Even if you really want to do something for me, I’m afraid it won’t mean much.”< br>
Hearing the emotional words of Lord Bai Ling, Li Qing also sighed secretly in his heart.
It is said that having no desires leads to strength. If a person has no desires and no pursuits, there is really nothing that can be done about him.
Just like the current senior Bailing, the only thing he wants now is to find a suitable disciple to pass on his mantle, so as not to completely cut off the inheritance of his Taoist Bailing.
Other than that, there is nothing else to ask for. No matter how fancy Li Qing’s words are, he will not be tempted at all.
"Haha, why are you so insistent on trading with me at equal value? You don't have to be like this. Just ask me directly and I will agree to you without knowing it?" Bailing Daojun said with a smile.
However, Li Qing shook his head firmly and said: "There is no free lunch in the world. I once heard someone say that all the gifts of fate have already been marked with a secret price."
Bailing Daojun nodded in admiration and said: "All gifts from fate have been marked with prices secretly."
"Yes, your boy really likes me, and you are so aware."< br>
"It's a pity that apart from weapon refining, your talents in other immortal arts are really poor, otherwise I really want to pass on my mantle to you."
said After finishing, Taoist Lord Bailing pondered for a long time, and then said:
"Well, I can make elixirs for you, but if you can break through to the divine transformation stage one day in the future, you can find time to go there. A trip to the Mingwang Valley in Yanyu.
"There is a clan named Hua in the Mingwang Valley. If monks of this lineage still exist, please help me take care of them."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing felt a sense of surprise in his heart. He cupped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Senior Bailing! If I can really break through to the stage of divine transformation in the future, I will definitely live up to the trust of seniors!"
"For this, I am willing to make a sacrifice. The Demonic Oath."
But before Li Qing could finish speaking, Lord Bailing waved his hand, interrupting the Demonic Oath he was about to take.
"Okay, okay, I still trust your character. There is no need to swear by inner demons or anything like that."
"What kind of elixir do you want to refine? Do you have any prescriptions? Take it out." Let me take a look.”
Without saying anything, Li Qing took out the recipe that recorded how to refine the spirit-nourishing pill.
Seeing this, Master Bailing, his illusory figure floated, and soon came to Li Qing, carefully studying the contents of the prescription.
“Is it a spiritual elixir that increases the magic power of monks in the elixir-forming stage? It is not too difficult to refine this type of elixir.”
"Well, the spiritual elixir actually uses the monster inner elixir and Tianyuan flower as the main medicine, which is an unheard-of formula."
"It uses a variety of elixirs as supplements to neutralize the evil spirit contained in the monster inner elixir. , This idea is not bad, it is quite original.”
Bailing Daojun’s alchemy skills are quite advanced, and his original alchemy skills have definitely reached the fifth level!
Such an enigmatic alchemist, after seeing the recipe for the Spirit-Nursing Pill, quickly saw the mystery behind it.
As for the refining techniques recorded in the elixir recipe, there is no need for Bailing Daojun to study it in detail. Basically, you can know how to refine such elixirs at a glance.
"Well, it's not difficult to refine it, but I'll still have to borrow your hand when the time comes." Dao Lord Bai Ling replied.
Li Qing was startled. He didn’t expect Taoist Lord Bai Ling to finish reading this complicated elixir recipe so quickly. He said:
“Senior Bai Ling, when will we start refining the elixir? "
"Haha, you can start at any time. If you are in a hurry, you can start now. "
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing finally had a new idea about the fifth-level alchemist. cognition.
A mere third-level elixir was indeed not a difficult task for him.
"Okay, let's start now!" Li Qing nodded.
After returning from the sea, he had collected all the main medicines and auxiliary ingredients for refining the spiritual elixir, and the quantity was quite large, and he could refine it in many furnaces.
Time passed leisurely, and half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.
In Li Qing's cave, a simple black forge stood quietly. From the mouth of the furnace, the hot temperature continued to vent.
In such a forge, there is a dark spiritual flame rising and burning inside, and the tongues of fire are like life, spreading along the inner wall. But under Li Qing's thought, these flames were well attached to the inner wall of the forge and did not really leak out.
If other alchemists or weapon refiners were to see the situation in the forge, they would definitely be stunned.
Because in such a forge, which is obviously used for refining weapons, what is being refined is not a magic weapon, but an elixir!
Besides, the shadow of Lord Bai Ling appeared next to Li Qing, carefully studying the situation in the furnace. For this reason, he would draw out a touch of pure spiritual power from Li Qing's body from time to time. Into the black furnace.
"The elixir liquid has stabilized. Prepare to divide the elixir. You controlled the heat well this time. It is much better than the previous two times. The liquid inside has not been lost too much."
"So this You can try to divide five to eight elixirs at a time. If you are not lucky, you should be able to make six soul-nourishing elixirs in this batch."
Daojun Bailing nodded and directed Li Qing. .
That’s right, just before, Li Qing had already refined the spirit-nourishing pill twice under his guidance.
Even with the careful guidance and assistance of Dao Lord Bai Ling, Li Qing, as a weapon refiner, was full of loopholes, including poor control of the heat, rough methods of blending the liquid, and other problems.
It is still a bit too reluctant to let a weapon refiner refine the elixir.
But fortunately, Bailing Daojun's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. When he almost failed several times, he personally saved his life and mobilized the spiritual power in Li Qing's body in time to stabilize his life. The state of the elixir in the furnace.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Qing's first attempt at alchemy in his life did not fail.
However, the result was not much better. In the first two furnaces of spiritual elixirs, because he did not control the heat properly, the liquid consumption was too heavy, and in the end he could only dispense a few elixirs. That’s all.
The number of completed elixirs was too small, and the waste elixirs turned into slag during the final refining process. As a result, he only harvested five useful elixirs in the first two batches of spiritual elixirs.
Moreover, among the five pills, there are two that are of very low quality and are completely inferior!
This result really made Li Qing feel heartbroken. He spent two whole materials, and finally got three finished spiritual nourishing pills and two inferior spiritual nourishing pills.
Fortunately, Li Qing was not too severely hit. After all, it was the first time in his life that he was refining an elixir, and it was a third-level elixir. Being able to achieve such a harvest would definitely shock countless alchemists. .
You know, any alchemist who doesn’t start from the basics, how can he start refining the third-level elixir like Li Qing!
Li Qing himself also understood that he was able to achieve such a high starting point, all thanks to the personal guidance of Lord Bai Ling.
Without the careful guidance of this senior, let alone refining inferior spiritual elixirs, he would only get a pile of slag and waste even if he refined it for ten furnaces.
Boom!
In the black furnace, the soul-devouring demonic flames spurred by Li Qing began to slowly subside.
The large ball of smelted elixir liquid in the center began to become solid and thick.
Li Qing's spiritual thoughts were touched, and based on the experience he had mastered before, he began to divide the elixir.
According to Lord Bailing, this time he divided a large ball of elixir smelted into seven small balls.
Each batch of medicinal liquid contains strong elixir essence. The elixir has been divided. Next, you only need to continue to deepen the refining to condense the liquid into elixir!
With the experience of the previous two times, Li Qing knew what to do this time even without Dao Lord Bai Ling speaking.
The spirit-devouring demonic flames that had gathered together began to spread evenly, and the temperature emitted by the spiritual fire effectively enveloped each elixir.
Repeatedly, the lumps of liquid medicine gradually began to become more solid, and a faint solidification state appeared.
But soon, Li Qing discovered that one of the pills suddenly began to tremble, looking as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
He was startled and almost lost control of the flames in the furnace.
“Don’t panic, continue to activate the spiritual fire and maintain this state.”
“This is a situation that often occurs when refining alchemy. It is normal. Just now you were dividing the medicine. I am a little too impatient, so that the elixir has not been completely stabilized.”
“In this situation, you only need to concentrate a little and release a stream of pure spiritual power from your body to stabilize it. status.”
With that said, Lord Bai Ling moved his hand. He extracted a stream of pure spiritual power from Li Qing's body and shot it directly into the black furnace.
Soon, the pill that looked like it was about to collapse at any moment quickly became stable.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to activate the soul-devouring demonic flames.
After a long time, Lord Bai Ling said: "Well, it's almost time to make the elixir!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing did not hesitate to cut off the eruption in his hand. The black demonic flames turned around and once again activated the pure spiritual power in his body to be injected into the forge.
Buzz!
Immediately afterwards, the black furnace began to tremble slightly, which lasted for a long time, and a strong fragrance of red pepper drifted out from the black furnace.
This red fragrance is very rich and clear, and just smelling it makes people feel intoxicated.
Li Qing had a look of expectation on his face. His potion of elixirs was undoubtedly a great success!
But to find out exactly how many pills have been made, we need to open the black furnace to see.
He looked inside the black furnace and saw seven warm and full elixirs lying quietly under the furnace.
Soon, one of the pills trembled, then collapsed and turned into a small cluster of black powder.
There is no doubt that this elixir has become a useless elixir and has not been refined.
Li Qing did not feel disappointed at all, because the other six elixirs were still intact and exuding the unique fragrance of elixirs.
In this furnace, he made six pills!
"Yes, there are six completed elixirs, of which only one is inferior, and the remaining five are all finished elixirs. This result is already quite perfect."
Hearing the words of praise from Lord Bailing, Li Qing He felt quite happy in his heart. This batch of pills directly surpassed the combined gains from the previous two batches.
Of course, he still dare not be too proud and complacent, because all of this is due to the help of Lord Bailing.
If he was allowed to refine it alone next, he still wouldn't have much confidence that he would be able to refine the elixir.
Alchemy is also a broad and proficient art of cultivating immortality, which covers many key points of knowledge.
Just relying on others' careful guidance or even hand-in-hand help to successfully refine it is nothing.
Especially the control of some timings, Li Qing still doesn’t know when to divide the elixir and when to melt the elixir.
Therefore, Taoist Bailing’s guidance is absolutely indispensable!
“Huh, thank you for your advice, senior!”
As he spoke, Li Qing put away all the six pills in the furnace with satisfaction, not daring to slack off in any way.
