Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

It is not easy to get started with elixirs, and the difficulty of refining elixirs increases significantly without anyone's guidance.

Jia Ren sat cross-legged in front of a half-foot-high bronze alchemy furnace, adding a slender fire-yang wood to the interior at regular intervals to control the temperature of the fire.

The spiritual eye was turned on and he observed the changes in the alchemy furnace.

In the alchemy furnace, the medicinal materials gathered together but never merged into one, let alone condensed into an elixir.

The medicinal materials gradually dry out the moisture and become medicinal residue.

"Failed again."

Smelling the burnt smell coming from the alchemy furnace, I opened it and saw that there was no elixir I wanted, only a large amount of burnt black charcoal.

Alchemy? It's obviously the production of carbon residue.

This is not the first time Jia Ren has failed. Since he got the Blood Burning Pill, he has failed fifteen times so far.

Every time you fail, you will sum up your experience and strive to succeed next time.

"Why is there no condensation pill?"

Jia Ren picked up the jade slip that recorded the forbidden elixir and studied it carefully.

The Burning Blood Pill records the recipe and the corresponding refining techniques. There is no control over the fire and temperature, so you can only rely on yourself to accumulate experience.

Logically speaking, it is not difficult to refine low-quality miscellaneous elixirs.

Jia Ren wanted to use the Burning Blood Pill to get started with alchemy, accumulate experience in alchemy, and use it as a springboard to make the Xuanshui Pill.

Similar to the magic of making demon-seeking talismans, after being promoted to the master level, there is experience and accumulation. Start learning other talisman-making techniques, and getting started and learning will become much easier.

Otherwise, if you don't have any experience in alchemy and just start using first-level high-grade elixirs, you may not be able to successfully make one of them even after hundreds of batches.

It's just a waste of money.

Unlike making talismans under the guidance of Wu Laodao, refining elixirs can only rely on elixir recipes.

"Why is there no sign of condensation?"

"There are no mistakes in the dosage and method of medicinal materials, and the steps are strictly followed."

Jia Ren was not discouraged and looked at the jade slips again, wondering if the heat was too low.

Clean out the ashes in the furnace, light the firewood at the bottom of the furnace, and heat the alchemy furnace.

Refining low-level elixirs takes a short time and has lower requirements. It can meet the requirements without using earth fire.

Ordinary flames cannot last long and are stable, and the refined elixir takes a long time to refine, and the fire-yang wood cannot provide a stable supply for a long time. If there is a slight mistake, the elixir will fail.

Earth fire alchemy is relatively stable and is based on the experience accumulated by countless alchemists over the years.

Jia Ren put the medicinal materials prepared into categories and put them aside. He accurately took out the corresponding dosage and added them according to the proportion.

The flame heats the alchemy furnace. When the temperature is sufficient, place the medicinal materials in order.

Next is the key to fire control. Alchemists all have corresponding fire control methods. Half-toned alchemists like Jia Ren do not have this method. They can only add or reduce the supply of fire sun wood based on experience to control the flame temperature. .

This is also the reason why alchemy can easily fail.

After a while, the burning smell came again.

"Failed again..."

Without fire control techniques, it is difficult to control the temperature of fire.

Next, it was refined several times, with the temperature constantly changing, from high to low.

The result was without exception, there was no sign of elixir condensation.

Refining alchemy is not an easy task, and it is more difficult to get started than making talismans.

Whether it is a sect or a family, cultivating a qualified alchemist requires a large amount of elixirs.

The success rate of alchemy is based on a large number of failed elixirs. What level you can reach depends on your alchemy talent.

Good talent, easy to get started, and high ceiling.

The talent is low, the losses are greater than the profits, and the family cannot afford it in the long run.

There are not many casual cultivators in Dahuangfang City who are good at alchemy, and they specialize in the elixirs they are good at.

Casual cultivators have no family or sect to support them. Every time they try to make a new elixir, it means that a large amount of elixirs are needed to refine their hands, and it is easy to make ends meet.

Jia Ren is not worried about the slow improvement in alchemy level. As long as he gets started with alchemy, his proficiency will increase rapidly. It won't take long to reach a level that others cannot reach in decades or centuries.

The successive failures in alchemy were a big blow. Jia Ren did not get into trouble and read the Book of Poisons instead.

The Hundred Poisons Manual is also related to drugs and may have a bypass effect.

Check out the poison recipe and pharmacological combinations.

The combination of the main drug and auxiliary drugs of Ecstasy Five Color Smoke can maximize the effect.

Although Master Baidu's character was poor, his teachings were not private, and many of his poison-making ideas were described in great detail.

Every time I watch it, I gain a lot.

The combination of medicinal properties is of great benefit.

"Alchemy and poison, in some respects, reach the same goal through different paths."

"What matters is the pharmacological combination."

"Understanding the core of Burning Spirit Pill, that is, the combination of medicinal properties, and the help of monarchs and ministers, the difficulty of getting started should be reduced."

Medicinal properties...

How can one understand the medicinal properties of elixirs without studying a large number of medicinal books?

Exceptionally, Jia Ren only knows that wolfsbane is the main material of the five-color smoke, and the other effects and matching principles are black eyes.

To be precise, he is studying to death now.

I have never studied and understood alchemy in depth, so I hope to use the proficiency panel as a shortcut to improve my proficiency as quickly as possible.

"This is not okay!"

"If you want to make bait for evolved spiritual insects in the future, you must be familiar with and understand the properties of the medicine."

“You can’t become a pioneer by just doing without learning.”

Study medicinal materials...

There is a serious monopoly on knowledge-based information. The miscellaneous notes on elixirs sold in the market only record the identification of medicinal materials, but the properties of the medicines are not well understood.

The best way is to learn from professionals.

It is difficult to find an alchemist, but it should be much easier for doctors and pharmacists.

Jia Ren couldn't help but think about the doctor who once wanted to buy the Hundred Poisons Scripture. Could he use the Hundred Poisons Scripture to get the knowledge about the elixirs he wanted?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

Most of the doctors are well-known figures, so it is not difficult to find them.

Jia Ren went to West Street Medical Center and quickly found a doctor.

"Seeing a doctor or asking for a consultation?" Dr. Liu stared at Jia Ren to confirm whether he was ill.

"I want to understand the properties of medicine and understand its pharmacology."

"I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing to help."

"I have no intention of taking on a disciple."

Teaching the disciples will starve the master to death. This is the unchanging truth.

Three years old looks older, seven years old looks older. Still young, more malleable.

The most important thing for accepting a disciple is that they are young, and older ones will not be accepted.

"Mr. Liu, I am not a disciple, but an exchange."

Jia Ren raised his hand and handed over the Hundred Poison Scriptures. Mr. Liu looked stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"It turns out you bought the Book of Hundred Poisons."

"If you exchange this, it will not be difficult for me to teach you the properties and pharmacology of the medicine."

The Hundred Poison Scriptures are valuable, and it is not difficult to exchange them for them.

To be precise, he made a profit.

Jia Ren doesn't care about this. The main thing is whether it's worth it or not.

Exchange the Book of Poisons for the knowledge of elixirs, and it will be easier to make Xuanshui Pills and future insect baits in the future.

This will lay the foundation of his alchemy.

Medicinal materials are the foundation of alchemy, and they are also the part that Jia Ren is currently lacking the most.

Without a foundation, how can high-rise buildings rise from the ground?

"Elixir Qianjie."

Jia Ren got what he wanted and returned to his residence.

Next, he focused his energy and time on the elixir Qianjie, learning and understanding the knowledge of various elixirs.

Thanks to the monk's photographic memory, the study progress is not slow, and he can read it through in seven days.

Understand the properties of the medicine, understand the pharmacology, and then look at Ranling Pill.

Observe the combination of materials, confirm the medicinal materials, ministers and assistants, and the alchemist's ideas.

Understanding the creator's thoughts and alchemy ideas is the fastest way to get started.

“Wouldn’t the combination of medicinal properties conflict with each other?”

Jia Ren looked at the combination of the Burning Spirit Pill and carefully considered it.

The closer he looked, the deeper his frown deepened.

There is no problem with the production formula and auxiliary materials, but there seems to be a problem with the matching method.

Alchemy is a delicate job, and the slightest mistake will lead to the failure of the alchemy.

Although the Burning Spirit Pill is a forbidden pill, its quality is not high, but the requirements are low, which does not mean it has no impact.

Jia Ren tried to change the order of medicinal materials based on their properties and pharmacology.

After a while, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

This is the first time this has happened. Will the alchemy be successful?

boom!

A burnt smell came out.

The refining of the elixir failed. When you open the furnace cover, you can see the already formed Burning Spirit Pill.

This time it was not a problem with the combination of medicinal properties, but a problem with the temperature of the alchemy.

The problem of condensing pills was finally solved, which made Jia Ren believe his guess and continue the experiment.

I failed three times in one breath, but my hard work paid off.

In the fourth furnace, the aroma of red pepper finally came out, and there was also a faint smell of paste.

Open the cauldron and find a burning spirit pill with a slightly mixed color, plus two waste pills.

The quality of the elixir was very poor and there was so much erysipelas that eating it was tantamount to committing suicide.

The Burning Spirit Pill finally appeared on the proficiency panel, which meant that I had officially started.

"There is a problem with the refining of the Burning Spirit Pill!"

"Someone deliberately messed up the order and refined it in the wrong way. There is no possibility of success in their lifetime."

Jia Ren felt sick, which must have been the intentional result of the monk who recorded the elixir recipe.

No wonder the forbidden elixir revealed by the Changle Gang did not include the Blood Burning elixir. There was something wrong with the alchemy jade slip they obtained.

"The world of cultivating immortals is indeed dangerous everywhere, and there are problems with the jade slips recording alchemy techniques."

Jia Ren couldn't help but think of the Xuanshui Pill he had obtained, and carefully studied its pharmacology. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The female cultivator of the Jade Cauldron Sect is an honest person and has not done anything wrong with the elixir recipe.

"Continue making alchemy!"

Jia Ren's next time was mainly spent refining the blood-burning pill, and his proficiency increased rapidly.

In a short period of time, he has been promoted to the master level.

Watching Xuan Shui Dan Fang again, I have different feelings.

"I've run out of medicinal materials again, it's time to get some supplies."

As usual, Jia Ren went to the market stall to buy the required medicinal materials, and also looked for other unrefined poisons.

Not long after, Jia Ren saw a familiar figure at a nearby stall.

The Talisman Cultivator would deliberately use the Questioning Talisman to make things difficult for his old Talisman Master Mo.

"How come the evil-proofing talismans have been out of stock recently, and we are required to make a large number of talismans, but the price has not changed at all. It's really disgusting!"

"The Talisman Society's evil-proofing talismans will be supplied to the Five Elements Sect."

"Five Elements Sect? How come they lack evil amulets?"

"You don't want to continue to go to the wilderness to open up wasteland, do you?"

"Beware of trouble coming from your mouth."

The two talisman masters whispered for a few times and switched to sound transmission to communicate.

Is the Five Elements Sect in large demand for evil amulets?

Could it be that something changed in Dahuang?
