Drunk Immortal Gourd

This is the reason why Qingyang plans to learn alchemy. A large number of spiritual flowers and spiritual nectar can be encountered but cannot be obtained, so he cannot place his hopes entirely on alcoholic bees. It happened that the last upgrade of the Drunken Immortal Gourd had matured a large amount of spiritual herbs and elixirs, which could be used for him to learn alchemy techniques and refine elixirs to improve his cultivation.

First use low-level spiritual grass to improve the alchemy. It will not be a pity if it fails. After the alchemy has been improved to a certain level, you can then try to refine high-level spiritual grass. Even if the success rate is not high, the spiritual grass in the Drunken Immortal Gourd will be the same. If you can refine a batch of Qi Gathering Pills, at least you won't be short of pills in the early stages of Qi training.

In the days that followed, Qingyang divided his time into two parts. He practiced the Five Elements Immortal Forging Technique at night to improve his cultivation, and spent the day learning alchemy without any delay.

Daily meditation has very little effect on Qingyang's cultivation, and almost no growth can be seen. At least hundreds, or even thousands, of such days and nights may be needed to achieve that level of improvement. But he was not intimidated, because he knew that cultivation is an extremely boring thing. You have to endure loneliness. You can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. Accumulating a few steps makes a lot. As long as you practice diligently, you will get there sooner or later. The day of breakthrough.

In addition to practicing, Qingyang also tried to practice the sword techniques recorded in the Five Elements Forging Immortal Technique. Qingyang's spiritual consciousness is much higher than that of monks of the same level, and he has already had the ability to control magic weapons. Combining them will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. The single-attribute sword techniques such as Jin Yuan Sword Jue and Mu Yuan Sword Jue only took a few seconds. Learned it in a matter of days.

Qingyang tried it in the training ground. He stood there motionless, then controlled the Red Flame Sword with his spiritual thoughts, and used the Fire Element Sword Technique to slash a huge boulder in the field. I saw a flash of red light in the air, and in the blink of an eye the boulder cracked and turned into several pieces. This power is much stronger than directly using a magic weapon to kill people, and it is also much more elegant. This is a magical method.

With Qingyang's current strength of spiritual thoughts and the amount of true energy in his Dantian, using the Fire Origin Sword Technique to activate the Red Flame Sword to attack can support him to use it for more than ten times in a row. After that, his true energy will be exhausted and his soul will be exhausted. This is because the level of the Red Flame Sword is relatively low, and its spiritual power is powerful. If other monks at the first level of Qi training were to use it, it might be enough to use it seven or eight times.

After learning the unit sword art, Qingyang tried to learn the dual sword art. He only had a red flame sword in his hand, so he used the judge pen he had obtained from Helan Peak as a magic sword, using his spiritual thoughts to simultaneously Control two magic weapons to combine to attack.

The power of the Dual Element Sword Technique is even greater. The boulder in the training ground was instantly shattered to pieces just by being swept by the sword. If it is used against the enemy, even if the opponent is a Qi Refining monk and has taken adequate defense, it will be destroyed. It may not be possible to stop it. However, the consumption of the dual sword technique is also huge. With Qingyang's current strength, he can only use it twice in a row.

As for the Three-Yuan Sword Technique, there is no need to think about it for the time being. With the intensity of his spiritual thoughts, it is very difficult to control three magic weapons at once, let alone use them to form a sword array for attack. Moreover, when three swords are fired together, a huge amount of energy is consumed. Maybe one attack can drain him dry. If you bite off more than you can chew, you should wait until you are stronger in the future before considering it.

Learning the sword technique is equivalent to having the means to attack with a sword. In the future, when you have a disagreement with the enemy, you can use the magic weapon to attack. This is the correct use of magic weapons and spiritual weapons. The power of magic weapons and spiritual weapons is only Only in this way can it be maximized. When I was in the Pulse Opening Realm, I used to use magic weapons to kill people. Now that I think about it, it's really a waste of resources.

Qingyang spends most of his daytime learning alchemy. Alchemy is not that easy to learn and requires a lot of experience. In the first two months, Qingyang collected a large number of spiritual guides and atlases. He started by familiarizing himself with various spiritual materials, spiritual herbs, and auxiliary medicines, and became proficient in the appearance, growth environment, medicinal properties, and mutual restraint principles of various common spiritual medicines. etc.

Every time you get a medicinal plant, you can instantly remember its name, characteristics, uses, storage methods, precautions, etc., and be able to guess their approximate year, growth environment, and medicinal power contained, so that you can understand common He knows all the spiritual herbs like the palm of his hand and knows all the treasures in his family.

In the next two months, Qingyang mainly used it to learn the refining and purification methods of various medicinal materials, the use of fire, and commonly used alchemy techniques, etc.

Each medicinal material needs to undergo preliminary refining and purification before use. Different medicinal materials require different refining and purification methods. Some may need to be roasted, some may need to be rinsed, some may need to be ground, and some may need to be ground. It may need to be stewed, and some may need to be pressed. If any step is not handled in place, it may affect the final elixir yield.

Alchemy masters also have very high requirements for the use of fire. High-level monks can produce elixir fire themselves and can control it as they wish. As long as the true energy is sufficient, fire will not have a big impact on alchemy. However, low-level monks cannot produce elixir fire and rely entirely on ordinary fire from the outside to refine elixirs. This requires controlling the size of the fire at any time. It should be larger when it should be bigger, smaller when it should be smaller, light when it should be lit, and extinguished when it should be extinguished. , there can be no hesitation or delay, so as not to affect the final rate of elixir formation due to heat issues.

As for the techniques for refining alchemy, it is also very complicated, including oven, crushing medicine, refining, purifying, stirring, fusion, reaction, slag removal, mixing medicine, static dust, tripod, liquid collection, ointment refining, spirit gathering, carving formation , painting patterns, condensing elixirs, collecting medicines, etc. Performing it once is no less than a fierce battle with a monk of the same level. It not only consumes spiritual energy, but also consumes real energy. Without great perseverance, it is impossible to hold on.

Low-level elixir prescriptions are better because they don't use many medicinal materials. As long as you master the main steps and then operate them step by step, you won't make any big mistakes.

As for high-end elixir recipes, some require the use of hundreds or even hundreds of main drugs and auxiliary drugs. Each medicinal material has different requirements. Some need to be processed in advance, and some can only be prepared during the elixir making process. Temporary processing can make a huge difference, and any detail issue may cause the failure of a batch of elixirs. In high-level elixir prescriptions, every elixir is priceless, and one failure will be a huge loss. Without superb elixir skills, no one dares to try it casually.

However, for Qingyang, a beginner, there is no need to consider such far-reaching things. What he needs now is to master each step skillfully and practice the basic skills well.

It took Qingyang four full months to learn the basic skills of alchemy. Now, he has initially understood thousands of common elixirs, spiritual materials, and auxiliary medicines, and mastered their characteristics, habits, and Pharmacology, familiar with the basic techniques and steps of alchemy.
