The Wheel-Turning Master

On the way back, Lin Bai felt a lot of emotion.

Many sects and clans have given away many entry-level methods that casual cultivators have struggled to find.

The end point of some people's lives may not be as good as the starting point of some people's birth.

Lin Bai was not cynical, but he was increasingly aware of the status gap between casual cultivators and sects and clans, as well as the importance of Zhu Yumao's letter of recommendation.

"When Brother Zhu sent me the letter, he only regarded me as a good friend who we could talk to and hoped to help me a little. He didn't expect anything in return from me."

"Moreover, when we were in Fengming Pavilion just now, the female surgeon was dissatisfied. She was obviously quite dissatisfied with Zhu Yumao's behavior. This also shows that Brother Zhu really put in the effort to get this letter of recommendation for me. The one who took responsibility.”

"This favor should be kept in mind."

Lin Bai was thinking as he went home.

When they arrived at the entrance of their cave, they saw fellow Taoist Yang next door bending down and talking to the little girl from the Jiang family.

The two of them were sneaking around and seemed to be plotting something.

This fellow Daoist Yang, whose real name is Yang Xiang, is about 20 years old and is at the third level of Qi training.

"Fellow Taoist Yun." Yang Xiang saw Lin Bai coming and smiled awkwardly.

But Jiang Xiaobai didn't care much. He just put one hand on his waist and said, "Some things are like apocalyptic opportunities. If you don't grasp them well, it will be too late to appreciate them after you lose them."

What does this mean?

Lin Bai stepped forward and bowed, feeling that there were some things he needed to ask clearly.

Earlier, Jiang Xiaobai said that he and Pei Ning were rushing in and out of the woods at the foot of the Tianchi Mountain, and they suspected of kidney deficiency...

It was true that he entered the woods. Many people saw it at that time, but most of them were strangers and no one knew Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was reclusive these days, and although he had friends with her, they were infrequent, and he never heard anyone mention this matter. Others did not look at him with eyes that were always lower than when he was in Huaxi County.

This shows that no one connected that incident to themselves, let alone that they were involved.

How did this little girl named Jiang know?

Lin Bai looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, who told you about what I did at the foot of Tianchi Mountain before? Can you tell me? Although I am of low cultivation, I know that bamboo can be burned but not destroyed. The principle of integrity. Although the name of innocence is small, how can it be frequently tarnished?"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed twice but said nothing.

However, Yang Xiang showed a bit of embarrassment on his face and did not dare to look at Lin Bai.

Okay! Lin Bai was not stupid, he knew immediately that it was this good neighbor who did it! He must have been at the foot of Tianchi Mountain at that time, and then he told it to the little girl of the Jiang family!

The last person who slandered me was Niu Er, and this time it was Yang Xiang who slandered me. They were all acquaintances!

"Brother Yang, you and I are good neighbors, and you brought me to participate in the Taoist meeting. I am so grateful. How can I..." Lin Bai sighed with a look of regret.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, it's my fault, I spilled the beans." Yang Xiang was full of embarrassment and kept bowing.

Lin Bai knew that he had a soft character and this matter was nothing. Just as he was about to expose it, Yang Xiang took out a bottle of elixir from his storage bag and offered it to him with both hands.

"This bottle of Qi Condensing Pill is given to Fellow Daoist Yun, please don't blame me." Yang Xiang was very sincere, "I will never talk about this matter again in the future, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Yun."

This Qi Condensing Pill is not precious, but is taken by Qi Practitioners during their practice. It can activate the Qi Sea and improve the efficiency of practice.

Of course, it is much more expensive than the Qi Nourishing Pill.

When Lin Bai saw that he didn't seem to be faking it and had a worried look on his face, he took away the Qi Condensing Pill.

After saying a few more polite words, Lin Bai returned to the cave and closed the door.

"Then Daoyou Yang seems to be a little afraid of me...is it because I have just practiced the fifth level of Qi?"

"Sure enough, the state of cultivation is the foundation!"

Lin Bai sighed while taking out the things given by Senior Zhu Jianyang.

The Small Yin Yang Cauldron is an ordinary small alchemy cauldron, about three feet three tall, and the length and width of the cauldron is about one foot one.

Then he took out the wooden box and opened it. It was filled with the spiritual materials needed for the Qi Nourishing Pill.

There is also a booklet sent by Zhu Jianyang, with the words "Zhu Jianguang's Essays" on the cover.

When I opened it, I saw that senior Zhu Jianguang's insights into alchemy were written in detail.

Including how to control fire with spiritual power, how to observe the alchemy furnace with spiritual consciousness while refining alchemy, how to distinguish the quality of spiritual materials, and their compatibility.

There are also several formulas for elixirs, such as the common Qi-nourishing elixirs and blood-tonifying elixirs. Senior Zhu Jianguang described in detail the various problems encountered during its refining and the solutions.

Judging from the brushwork, this senior Zhu Jianguang is really obsessed with alchemy. He feels happy when he succeeds in refining alchemy. He is not discouraged when he fails to refine alchemy. Instead, he has high morale and actively summarizes and reflects.

Lin Bai watched with fascination, as if the senior Zhu Jianguang was right in front of him, but at the end he saw it suddenly stopped.

"There should be some more in-depth content later, but it's a pity that I won't be allowed to read it. This essay should be passed down within the Zhu family clan for enlightenment purposes and will not be passed on to others..."

Lin Bai recited Zhu Yumao's Hao'er again in his mind, and then looked at the small Yin Yang Cauldron.

After careful observation, I picked up the spiritual material and carefully distinguished the good and bad according to the essay.

They are all excellent things.

Qi-nourishing elixir is the most common elixir. Its function is to take it when the spiritual power is insufficient, and it can quickly restore some spiritual power. Therefore, every Qi practitioner will prepare a lot of them when traveling at home, and the demand is huge.

Place the small Yin Yang Cauldron and place the spiritual materials on one side.

Lin Bai stretched out his finger to attract the flame, then slowly controlled the fire and observed the changes in the small Yin Yang Cauldron.

There are many kinds of fire used in alchemy, the most common is earth fire, and there are also yin fire and yang fire.

Generally speaking, because earth fire is the most common, stable and gentle, it is the most used. As for the others, firstly, they are hard to find; secondly, they are difficult to control due to insufficient cultivation.

As the most common and easiest to refine elixir, the Yangqi Pill can be used to attract the fire with one's own spiritual power, and the spiritual power consumed is limited.

If you want to refine other elixirs, such as the Condensing Qi Pill, because there are many steps and it takes a long time, more spiritual energy is required. The spiritual power of the Qi sea of ​​the Qi cultivator is slightly less, and it cannot maintain the fire for a long time, so it is necessary to rely on external forces and use earth fire.

If the cultivation reaches the Golden Pill realm, it can be used without the help of external fire, and only with one's own ability, and the effect is better.

Lin Bai controlled the fire and silently observed the temperature changes of the small Yin-Yang Cauldron. According to Zhu Jianguang's essay, alchemy requires familiarity with the nature of the furnace before it can be done from the heart.

After observing for half an hour, Lin Bai stopped.

He summarized it first, then closed his eyes and emptied his mind.

When he came to the stone plate, Lin Bai waved his hand to take a cloud of mist, which turned into a small Yin-Yang Cauldron. He summoned another cloud, which turned into spiritual materials.

He stretched out his fingers to draw fire, and put in the three spiritual materials in sequence according to the steps in Zhu Jianguang's essay.

He manipulated the fire with one hand, while using his spiritual consciousness to observe the changes inside and outside the furnace.

Of course, because the furnace and spiritual materials are both made of mist, although they are very similar, they are not real things after all, so it is impossible to refine pills.

Lin Bai was just feeling the process of refining pills, embodying the problems encountered by senior Zhu Jianguang one by one, and then turning them into his own experience.

After practicing hundreds of times like this, Lin Bai has memorized the control of fire and the steps of refining pills.

"I wonder if I can put everything I think and see on the stone plate as my realm improves? For example, sword intentions, or even drawing talismans here?"

Opening his eyes, Lin Bai thought again and began to refine pills.

Lin Bai stretched out his fingers to light the fire. He was very skilled. He first observed the fire and the furnace, and then added the spiritual materials one by one, just like an old hand who had been refining pills for many years.

It takes about half an hour to refine a furnace of nourishing qi pills, and about twenty pills are produced in one furnace.

Half an hour later, the pills are ready.

Seventeen pills are produced, leaving a lot of dregs.

Lin Bai cleaned the furnace and refined five more furnaces. When the spiritual power of the sea of ​​qi was slightly exhausted, he returned to the stone plate to recover.

In this way, as the number of times increased, he became more skilled and stable.

A total of twenty spiritual materials, twenty furnaces of alchemy, without a single mistake.

Except for the beginning when each furnace produced less than twenty pills, the subsequent ones were all more than twenty pills. A total of four hundred and forty pills.

After recovering his spiritual power again, Lin Bai silently summed up and reflected.

His talent in the way of alchemy is not outstanding, it can only be said to be above average, but hard work can make up for his shortcomings.

After putting away the nourishing qi pills, Lin Bai waited for another five days before going out.

Arriving at Fengming Pavilion, the female cultivator at the counter seemed to be keeping accounts. She looked up and saw Lin Bai, her eyes lit up, as if relieved.

Are you afraid that I will escape with the goods? You are a businessman, your emotions are clearly expressed on your face, and Xiuxiu also knows how to pretend to be deep.

Lin Bai smiled and bowed.

The female cultivator waved to call a servant to help watch the counter, then returned the greeting and bowed to Lin Bai, saying: "Daoyou Yun, please go upstairs to chat."

She led the way in front, and Lin Bai followed.

Going upstairs, it was still the same room, but there was no trace of Zhu Jianyang.

"Uncle has something to go out." The female cultivator smiled and poured tea, "Please."

There was no tea last time, and he was not so polite.

Lin Bai took out the Qi-nourishing Pill from the storage ring and smiled: "Finally, I have made some progress. I destroyed a few furnaces and got 200 Qi-nourishing Pills. Please check them."

Lin Bai kept 220 pills for himself. It's not that I was greedy on purpose, but I was a novice and shouldn't show too much.

"Two hundred pills?" The female cultivator showed some disbelief, glanced carefully, and said in surprise: "Is it really the first time for Fellow Daoist Yun to enter the Dao of Alchemy?"

Yes! I was still greedy for too little!

"It is indeed the first time." Lin Bai smiled, drank a sip of tea, and then said: "I have to thank Senior Zhu for his notes, otherwise I would never succeed."

"Although this pill is easy to refine and newcomers can get started very quickly, even so, you can succeed in half of it for the first time, which is already very talented." The female cultivator sighed.

"It's just luck. It's just that hard work can make up for clumsiness, and God rewards hard work." Lin Bai just told the truth.

The female cultivator shook her head, seemingly unbelieving, but her attitude became gentler.

She changed the tea again, and didn't talk about the Qi-nourishing Pill, but just chatted with Lin Bai.

It turned out that her name was Zhu Yuling, and she was of the same generation as Zhu Yumao.

Zhu Yuling first asked Lin Bai about his age, whether he was married, where he lived, who he liked to socialize with, etc.

They talked for a long time and drank three pots of spiritual tea.

If Lin Bai had not been a Taoist for a long time, he would have held his urine.
