Chapter 177: Heavenly elixir, rejuvenation and longevity [Updates with 10,000 words per day, please subscribe]

Generally speaking, elixir refining can be divided into four steps: preparing the medicine according to the prescription, assisting the emperor and ministers, refining and condensing the elixir, and opening the furnace to make the elixir.

At first glance, it seems quite simple, but there are hidden mysteries in every step!

Let’s just say that the first step is to “prepare the medicine according to the prescription”. We have the prescription, but what about the quality of the medicine? How old is it? Without the experience and experience of a mature alchemist, you still have to prepare the medicine one by one.

On this step alone, 'He Lian' spent three years to come up with the 'high-mix and high-energy' formula for Yuandan. Using older elixirs as the main ingredients and matching with other appropriate auxiliary drugs can steadily improve the appearance of the finished product.

.

The first step is closely connected with the second step. The monarch, his ministers and his envoys seem to be talking about the issue of main medicine and auxiliary medicine, but in fact this step hides an important method of alchemy, extraction!

To put it simply, extraction is to extract the essence from the elixir. The jargon among alchemists is called extracting the ‘medicine essence’.

For old elixirs, the 'medicine essence' is often extremely effective. If the 'jun' medicine is too strong, it will also cause changes in the 'minister' medicine, and then lead to a series of changes.

It is no easy task for the monarch and minister's medicinal essences to complete the fusion and form a high-quality elixir.

It took 'He Lian' another four years at this step before he could successfully transform the 'high-matching and high-energy' formula for Yuan Dan that he had researched into a perfect, superior elixir.

The quality and effectiveness of the elixir liquid also determines the fire control issue in the step of 'refining the elixir and condensing the elixir'. What kind of fire is used and how high the fire temperature is are all very particular. If you don't have mature experience, it all depends on groping step by step.

Not to mention innovations in recipes.

This step of ‘He Lian’ took another four years.

It took eleven years, and after consuming a large amount of low-level elixirs, to find a way to stably refine the Yuan Yuan Dan that was born with a vision.

How many eleven years does it take for an elixir-forming monk to enter? And the Yuan-yuan elixir is just a first-level elixir used in the Qi refining period.

Moreover, the ingredients used in this high-grade Yuan Dan prescription are extravagant, and the cost is much higher than the ordinary Yuan Dan formula. It can be said to be worth a heap of spiritual stones.

As for the last step of making the elixir, which is the time to open the cauldron, He Lian did not spend much effort, because if this step is not to transform into a god, or even the void-refining monks can manipulate the vitality of heaven and earth, other alchemists rely on secret methods to explore.

.

'He Lian' naturally relies on his increasingly profound attainments on the 'Stolen Luck Avenue', and uses this to sense the timing of elixir formation, and he can perfectly activate the cauldron seven or eight times out of ten.

After more than ten years, 'He Lian' completed the first step of the "Three Transformations of Heaven Stealing Pill". What followed was a large number of repeated refinements to intercept the fortune of the pill and seal it into higher-level pills.

However, this method of transferring from low to high is naturally quite time-consuming, labor-intensive, and material-intensive. A five-marked True Transformation Pill requires more than ten times of sealing into the Yuan Dan, Vision Pill, and it can be produced.

Not all of them are the lowest of three flowers gathering at the top.

To achieve the heavenly nine-line "Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill", you need at least six five-line "Phenomena Transformation Pill" to create the Vision Pill Luck.

With He Lian's current level of alchemy, it would take about two or three years to produce a five-line True Transformation Pill. There were also one or two failures because he was too impatient, and in the end he only succeeded in the three-line True Transformation Pill.

Therefore, after thirty years, he has only now been able to hope to come up with the sixth Five-Line True Transformation Pill, thus hitting the top grade 'Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill'.

Three months later.

boom!

A ray of purple light soared into the sky from the Ziyang True Flame Pill Cauldron, followed closely by nine streaks of green energy that shot straight into the sky.

"It's done!"

'He Lian' clenched his fist suddenly and looked at the pill surrounded by nine green qi in the purple light, with a look of joy on his face.

Just when he was about to collect the pill, a terrifying Nascent Soul-level spiritual pressure appeared in the secret realm, firmly suppressing him.

Immediately, 'He Lian' saw a figure appearing next to the heavenly grade 'Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill'. Under his eyes that were about to burst, a slender jade hand took the heavenly grade elixir into his bag.

'He Lian' lowered his head and did not dare to look again, for fear that the anger in his eyes would offend the Nascent Soul monk in the sky.

This Nascent Soul monk is quite mysterious. He wears a dark blue robe and a hood. There is a three-color aura in front of his face, so his face cannot be seen clearly.

"Human monk, do you know where this is?"

A cold and stern voice came.

"Senior, please give me some advice."

"This is the True Dragon Realm. I don't know where you come from or how you come here, but you need to know that this is not a place for human monks to stand.

But I am not a bloodthirsty person. From now on, I will hand it over for worship every twenty years, and its value shall not be lower than this elixir.

After waiting ten times, I will allow you to stay here and trade with you to help you leave my True Dragon Realm.

But before that, you must not step out of this incomplete secret realm, otherwise, I will kill you immediately!

Do you understand?"

Ten such offerings?!

'He Lian' clenched his fists, but did not dare to disobey. He only said: "I will obey the will of my senior."

As long as this secret realm exists, I can grow more elixirs and refine more elixirs. As my alchemy skills continue to improve, I will eventually get out of trouble and heal my own injuries!

'He Lian' thought like this.

After a long time, when he looked up again, the mysterious Nascent Soul monk had disappeared without a trace.

However, what he thought was a crack in the external space was actually within the time force field. The mysterious Nascent Soul monk took off his hood and burst out laughing.

This Yuanying monk is actually Zhen'er.

He saw Zhen'er moving again and running into the Wu Sword Ring, his laughter still not stopping.

"Hahaha, I was laughing so hard.

Daddy, why are you playing tricks on your time clone like this?

The heavenly elixir that I worked so hard to refine for thirty years was taken away from me like this, I really feel a little guilty."

As Zhen'er spoke, he handed the extremely powerful heavenly product 'Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill' to the real He Lian.

"hope."

He Lian took the elixir and responded calmly.

Then carefully look at the heavenly elixir in your hand.

To be honest, He Lian really didn't expect that after carefully setting the background for the second farming alchemy clone, this guy could burst out with such creativity.

In order to simulate the real background, He Lian not only refined his consciousness, but also relied on the breath of the evil dragon that he smelled from the Panjing Earth Mother to implant that memory into the consciousness of the second clone, making the second clone

The fear is shaped more realistically.

After so much effort, Clone No. 2 really did not let down He Lian’s efforts.

You must know that when He Lian first saw "The Art of Stealing the Immortal and Sealing the Pill", he also wanted to rely on opening entries to improve his appearance, strive to be born with visions, and then get married.

It's just that his current experience points for refining weapons and consecrating spiritual treasures are not enough, so he doesn't have enough experience to do this.

As for the No. 2 farming alchemy clone, he came up with the heavenly product ‘Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill’ in just thirty years. If there was any reason behind this, He Lian could only understand that it was the power given by hope.

"Hope is very important, and there is a huge difference between accepting one's fate and acting without hope.

Mechanical repetitive work without hope lacks aura. Without aura, there is a lack of creativity. Hope can bring aura and stimulate creativity."

He Lian carefully compared the No. 1 weapon-refining clone that was originally set. The No. 1 weapon-refining clone that died of old age in Yuancijitian was the background of the prison dilemma and the acceptance of fate.

Although the work was done well, there was nothing amazing about it.

In order not to waste his time on the clone, He Lian wanted to experience life in disguise, so he carefully set up the background of the second clone, but this guy burst out with great creativity.

"hope?"

Zhen'er didn't quite understand, so he tilted his head to think.

He Lian didn't explain much and just said: "When you are imprisoned in some kind of predicament in the future and there is no hope for a while, think about what dad said today, and you may be able to understand something.

Otherwise, no matter how much dad tells you, it will be difficult for you to have a deep understanding.

Remember to come in every ten days from now on and go find clone No. 2 to collect the offerings."

The ten days that He Lian mentioned are naturally the time in Shennong's Secret Territory. Since the flow rate of the time force field is one hundred and fifty times, and the Dongtian Lingzhi Garden is affected by the Yuan Magnetic Boundary Field, the built-in time flow rate reaches five times.

Therefore, the current flow rate inside Dongtian Lingzhi Garden is equivalent to 750 times that of Shennong's Secret Realm. Ten days in Shennong's Secret Realm is almost twenty years in Dongtian Lingzhi Garden.

And it was more than a year in Wujian Ring.

"Okay, this is interesting, I'm really willing to do it.

But, daddy, can Zhen'er play the bad guy this time and be more vicious?"

"No matter how cruel or vicious it is, just leave him hope.

For example, by relying on the "Three Transformations of Heaven Stealing Pill" method, he can refine a heaven-grade "Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill" in about 17 or 18 years.

And as his skills become more sophisticated, he may be able to complete it in just thirteen or four years.

In this way, he will have five or six years left in each worship cycle.

At the beginning, he may refine an additional heavenly product 'Rejuvenation and Vitality Pill' to restore his injuries within three or four worship cycles.

But after that, in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, he would naturally study how to use the "Three Transformations of Heaven Stealing Pill" to refine higher-grade elixirs.
