The Path to Immortality

If you want to get involved in the alchemy, you must first master the most basic alchemy theory and various medicinal materials used for alchemy.

These things can be exchanged for the sect's contribution.

But the sect's contribution is rare, and it can be used to exchange for elixirs, exercises, and Taoist books. It is a waste to use it on this.

Fang Ping's plan is to go to Luoyunfang, which was opened by Luoyang Sect on a nearby mountainside, and buy it in the market.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

Who said that only the alchemy in the immortal way can be considered the alchemy?

The medical way circulating in the ordinary rivers and lakes of Liang State also has some theories involving alchemy. Although it cannot be compared with the immortal way, it is enough to verify the use of the purple gold tripod.

Since only some ordinary medicinal materials are needed, there is no need to go to Luoyunfang.

There is a small town of Xunxian at the foot of Tiandu Peak. There are many people in the town who specialize in selling various worldly things, and even mortal servants and maids are sold.

Even those poor outer disciples can experience the wealth of secular kings and enjoy themselves here.

Because of this, many old-fashioned monks in the sect are not used to it, and there are often calls for banning such services.

But after several discussions, it was not passed in the end.

There are rumors that the sect leaders do not mind using this method to test the disciples' heart to the Tao.

Some disciples also privately think that it may be related to the forces behind Xunxian Town.

After all, ordinary people are not qualified to get a piece of land in Xunxian Town and do such business.

Of course, the truth of this matter has nothing to do with Fang Ping, a second-level Qi training monk.

He used the light body technique to run down the mountain, and after entering Xunxian Town, he found a shop that provides a one-way exchange of spirit stones for ordinary gold and silver services. He exchanged a spirit stone for a large amount of gold, and then began to buy a lot.

Liang Guo's ordinary, martial arts sect Yaowang Valley's secret [Tianxin Pharmacopoeia]?

Buy!

The [Xiao Huandan] recipe of the martial arts holy land Jingang Temple?

Buy!

Ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng that contains almost no spiritual energy, and Tianshan snow lotus and red fruit that can increase martial arts true energy for decades?

Buy, buy, buy!

In the immortal way, a piece of spiritual stone is not much, but when it is exchanged for gold and silver, it becomes a huge fortune.

Let Fang Ping really experience what it means to spend money like water.

The main feature is to buy whatever you like, and never bargain!

He also understood why some outer disciples who obviously lack cultivation resources also save the spiritual stones issued by the sect and have fun in Xunxian Town.

This feeling is really addictive.

After spending most of the gold and silver he exchanged in one breath and filling up the storage bag, Fang Ping was satisfied and turned back to Tiandu Peak Villa.

After a short rest, Fang Ping took out the [Tianxin Pharmacopoeia] and quickly flipped through it.

His top priority was to confirm what the purple gold tripod was used for, rather than really being a secular miracle doctor.

Therefore, when studying this pharmacopoeia, he skipped all the contents about pharmacology and medicinal properties, and only focused on reading the contents related to specific alchemy techniques.

Even so, after a week, he still felt drowsy and his head was big.

A person who has undergone nine years of compulsory education and attended university still has this feeling. Those low-level monks in this world who have rarely received systematic education may have even more headaches...

Maybe he will be discouraged by the complicated alchemy theory before he actually starts to refine the alchemy.

Fortunately, after a rush to work, he has basically understood the process of how to refine the alchemy.

Next, it is the first attempt.

Coming to the vacated wing room in advance, Fang Ping took out the prepared medicinal materials from the storage bag and released the purple gold tripod.

After injecting mana, the purple gold tripod quickly grew larger and turned into a real alchemy tripod.

Then there was no abnormality.

In the perception at this moment, this tripod gave Fang Ping the feeling of an ordinary low-grade magic weapon.

If you don't know its origin in advance and know that it is a treasure, you can't imagine that it is a treasure that can attract many Yuanying Zhenren to fight for it.

After calming down, Fang Ping prepared the large amount of ordinary medicinal materials he bought in batches according to the refining method recorded in the [Xiao Huan Dan] recipe.

This process took him about an hour.

"One liang of white Poria cocos, three qian of ginseng, eight pieces of Lingshao..."

Throw the prepared medicinal materials into the treasure tripod one by one, and then add water.

According to the requirements of the recipe, the best Xiao Huan Dan uses melted snow water from Tianshan Mountain, so that the cold air can neutralize the fire and evil spirits incorporated during the alchemy.

While enhancing the efficacy of the medicine, it can also make Xiao Huan Dan have the effect of curing the demonic effect of warriors practicing internal energy.

Fang Ping didn't have Tianshan snow water, but he had better ones.

He took some mountain springs rich in spiritual energy from the deep pool behind Tiandu Peak, which barely covered the medicinal materials by about one finger deep.

Activate the mana to mix the herbs more evenly.

"Turn on the fire, and start the pot!"

Fang Ping activated his mana and used the most common small five-element spell to continuously raise spiritual fire at the bottom of the purple gold tripod, and began to make porridge-like pills.

Generally speaking, unless it is a powerful high-level cultivator, the flame controlled by mana is far inferior to the power of the ground fire in the Red Sun Land.

The five major immortal sects in Liang State all have similar ground vein flames.

Of course, Luoyang Sect also has it, but only the inner sect can rent it, and it is not the turn of Fang Ping, an outer sect disciple!

Fortunately, Xiaohuandan is a common elixir, let alone the spiritual fire generated by mana, even if charcoal is used as fuel, it may be able to make do!

The next step is to wait patiently.

As the heating continued, the medicinal liquid and medicinal materials in the Baoding began to gradually roll and boil.

If Fang Ping has already established the foundation at this moment, he can release his spiritual consciousness and directly explore the situation inside the cauldron, so as to grasp the process of alchemy more accurately.

But it's a pity that he is only a monk in the early stage of Qi training.

The specific situation can only be judged based on the movement in the tripod, feelings and some methods mentioned in the [Tianxin Pharmacopoeia].

Soon, Fang Ping noticed the first extraordinary thing about Baoding.

Even though the liquid and medicinal materials were boiling, and the cauldron had no lid, the aura and medicinal power inside were not leaked at all.

This precious cauldron seems to have an invisible restriction, sealing the medicinal liquid and the medicinal power lost during the refining process within the cauldron.

"Sure enough, there are some tricks!"

Fang Ping perked up and felt that he might have found the right direction.

After staying up for about a quarter of an hour.

He slightly reduced the flame and observed the situation inside the cauldron.

In a hasty glance, Fang Ping noticed that most of the medicinal materials in the tripod were not integrated into the medicinal liquid as mentioned in Xiao Huan Dan Dan's recipe. Instead, a large amount of crushed medicinal materials remained.

Scum.

This situation made Fang Ping's heart sink slightly.

Although according to the progress, it was only halfway through, Fang Ping knew that the result of the first attempt had actually failed.

He thought for a while and chose to continue the refining process in order to gain experience.

As the spiritual fire burned, a slight trembling sound came from the tripod, which lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually subsided.
