After Yan Feiyue and the others had laid out the food in the corridor outside the Jade House, Qi Guanyu also walked out.
"It took me an hour and a half, and Guan Guan took two hours. But Guan Guan practiced the ninth level of qi, which proves that it takes us at most two hours to practice the Great Zhou Tian." Yan Feiyue concluded for everyone.
"If you want your cultivation to grow quickly, you still need to practice a few more days every day." Tong Yi finally saw that cultivation is a very time-consuming thing that requires perseverance. If you want to gain something, you must Just put aside the chores and concentrate on your cultivation.
"Come on, let's have lunch first, and I'll show you our alchemy room later." Tong Shan handed the chopsticks to Qi Guanyu and invited everyone to sit down.
"We have negotiated the price with the Wen family. Gelsemium can produce almost three servings of medicinal powder, but Ailanthus is a spiritual animal medicinal material. Our Tong family only records the refining method and has never refined it on site, so we conservatively estimate that it can be refined at most Offer two copies. The Wen family is equivalent to exchanging a six-hundred-year-old fourth-level herb for two third-level elixirs. Originally, their family suffered a loss, but they need to be refined by our family, so it is considered a fair trade." Tong Shan He moved the chopsticks in his hands and said without raising his head.
"What kind of medicine is the Wen family trading?" Qi Guanyu didn't expect that within a month of coming here, he had already seen three six-hundred-year-old fourth-level herbs. This shows that the monks here have not reached the end of their rope!
"Podophyllum: It mainly treats poisonous poisons, kills ghosts and evil spirits, wards off diseases and evil spirits, expels evil spirits, and relieves hundreds of poisons. It can only be said that the Wen family started with poisons, and now the fourth-level detoxification herb can be said to be It's very scarce." Tong Shan was also very surprised when he got the medicine!
Tong Yi saw that her brother and Qi Guanyu had stopped eating, so she said: "Since you two have finished eating, let's plant the podophyllum and acanthus into the spiritual soil first! When A Yue and I finish eating, we will go down Refining medicine.”
Tong Shan and Qi Guanyu didn't hesitate, got up and went to work. After Tong Yi and Yan Feiyue finished eating and put away the garbage, they had finished planting.
The four of them walked into the last compartment of the Jade House. On the square land, one person stood on each side, and the Tong family members had to go back to back. This time, Tong Shan faced the door and pressed the handle of the compartment door. Then the red ray descended from the top. After ensuring that it was the two Tong family members who opened the secret room, the ground under his feet began to slowly sink.
Yan Feiyue felt that she was slowly descending, and the light above her head gradually shrank into a sky and earth, and then the land under her feet finally stabilized. Just listen to Tong Yi say:
"Step forward and step on the floor tiles."
After Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu did as they were told, they felt the square inch of land behind them slowly rising. It wasn't until all the light above them disappeared that all the lights in the basement lit up with a "pop" sound.
Everything in the basement also came into view. Tong Shan saw that although the two were curious, they did not move around, so he kindly said: "You two can just take a look. Tongtong and I will handle the elixir first, let it be refined, and then give it to Please clarify."
"Don't worry, I haven't seen alchemy yet! I want to see you make alchemy first." After Yan Feiyue finished speaking, he looked at Qi Guanyu. As expected, Qi Guanyu also said:
"I'm also curious about how medicine is made here."
"Okay, but since five hundred years ago, elixirs can no longer be made here. They can only be made into powder, so there is not much left in our Tong family's inheritance that can be applied." Tong Shan said from the platform. He took out the ladder, took out the floating dust, and began to climb up and down to clean the alchemy furnace.
Tong Yi took the medicinal materials to the big platform and introduced to Yan Feiyue and Qi Guanyu: "Gelsemium is a twining evergreen vine with smooth branches. The leaves are in pairs, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, The top is acuminate, the base is attenuate or nearly rounded, and the margin is entire. This plant has bloomed light yellow flowers. Look, its corolla looks like a funnel, and there are light red spots in the center of the flower."
Yan Feiyue watched Tong Yi separate the flowers, leaves and branches, and then put them away one by one. She felt it was very troublesome, so she asked, "Is alchemy so complicated?"
Tong Yi explained: "The difference between medicinal powder and elixir is that the next step of medicinal powder is to condense the elixir. Medicinal powder is easy to refine, but condensing elixir is difficult. Condensing elixir is when the alchemist extracts the medicinal powder based on his mastery of the spiritual grass. Various parts of the medium-grade elixir are condensed into elixirs; and the quality of elixirs is classified according to the ratio of ingredients. Low-grade elixirs are black, medium-grade elixirs are red, high-grade elixirs are yellow, and top-grade elixirs are White."
"I see." Yan Feiyue finally figured out what alchemy was all about today.
Tong Shan had also cleaned the alchemy furnace here. When Yan Feiyue got closer, she discovered that half of the high wall surrounding the alchemy furnace was actually exuding spiritual power, and the spiritual power was still very strong. He asked Qi Guanyu in disbelief: "Guan Guan, do you feel it?"
"I felt it as soon as I came in. This is a middle-grade spiritual stone. The main reason why you didn't feel it is because the alchemy furnace in the middle has the function of gathering and absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy." Although Qi Guanyu's cultivation level has dropped to the ninth level of Qi training, But the spiritual consciousness is still in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Guan Yu is right, because the spiritual energy here is too thin. Insufficient spiritual energy will cause the medicinal properties to dissipate when refining the medicine. This circle of spiritual stone wall is to maintain the medicinal properties of the spiritual grass." Tong Yi nodded.
Yan Feiyue looked at this square bronze alchemy furnace that was a little taller than herself, and sighed: "This alchemy furnace looks amazing at first glance."
When Tong Shan heard this, he joked: "Ah Yue, even if you are a layman, you are too good to be exposed so quickly!"
Tong Yi glared at her brother angrily, pointed to the palm-sized opening on the east side of the alchemy furnace, and explained to Yan Feiyue: "This opening is used to throw medicinal materials. Refining medicine with spiritual herbs requires spiritual fire. The Tong family cannot cultivate, so they cannot activate the spiritual fire. The ancestor left this alchemy furnace for future generations. There is a ball of spiritual fire at the bottom of the alchemy furnace. As long as there is a drop of blood from the Tong family, the spiritual fire can be activated to make elixirs. The soybean-sized mouth on the north side is used to collect blood."
Tong Shan handed the blood into the mouth on the north side, and then explained: "The broad bean-sized mouths on the west side are used to produce finished products. After refining, several small openings will be opened. Therefore, only those who cannot practice can Ordinary people can use this kind of alchemy furnace."
"What kind of alchemy furnace do alchemists who can practice use? Does your ancestor leave anything for you?" The Tong family will be able to practice soon. Will they still use this alchemy furnace?
After the medicinal materials were put into the furnace, Tong Yi and Tong Shan had time to introduce them to them.
Tong Shan opened all the large wooden boxes standing on the wall on the left hand side and showed off to Yan Feiyue: "These are the alchemy furnaces left by our ancestors. There are five of them. When you can practice these four, they will be exactly the same. They can be regarded as intermediate magic weapons for alchemy." Grandpa, father, Tongtong and I each have one furnace. My ancestor said that these four alchemy furnaces can refine elixirs up to level 5."
Yan Feiyue picked up the last alchemy furnace that was the size of her palm and said, "This must be very powerful, both exquisite and beautiful."
Tong Shan was very proud: "I have discernment. This was used by my ancestor in the Immortal Realm. It is said to be an earth-level magic weapon. Although we don't know much about the level of the magic weapon, it does not prevent us from thinking that this alchemy furnace is powerful. This also belongs to Tongtong.”
"Earth-level magic weapon! It's also an alchemy furnace, it should be very extraordinary!" Yan Feiyue knew that Guan Guan's space ring was at least an earth-level magic weapon. Yan Feiyue felt extremely honored. She, a little monk on Earth, could actually see two earth-level magic weapons that were rare in the world of cultivation. It was enough for her to brag about for a lifetime!
"What's on that row of bookshelves?" Qi Guanyu asked, pointing to the bookshelf on the right.
Tong Shan walked over and put several wooden boxes on the ground, opened them one by one, and then sat on the floor. Seeing this, several people also sat down and listened to Tong Shan's introduction: "Here are the exercises related to the wood element, and the elixir." Fang, some of these inheritances were brought by our ancestors, and some were collected by the ancestors of the Tong family here."
"Then just leave it like this?" Yan Feiyue wondered if it was a little too unsafe.
"The ancestor explained before his death that the descendants of the Tong family cannot practice cultivation. Leaving the treasure mountain empty will only make people covet it. Therefore, after his death, the cultivation resources must be replaced one after another to make the family decline. Like, cleanse the Tong family into completely ordinary people, keep the most important and fundamental ones, and have some medical skills." Tong Yi lamented that the Tong family has worked hard for thousands of years, and finally finally The day when the Tong family got what they wanted.
"Hey, Tongtong, these are three storage bags. Leave them to Grandpa Tong to distribute!" Yan Feiyue took out the storage bag hanging around her neck, took out three from it, and handed them to Tongtong.
"A Yue, thank you." Tong Yi looked at the three two-finger-wide storage bags in her hand and was very moved. Storage bags are a very scarce resource nowadays, so A Yue gave them to her as soon as she asked.
"Be polite to me. From now on, we will be on the same path. Fellow Taoist, please take care of me in the future!" Yan Feiyue, a master at controlling the atmosphere, is online! She also bowed and clasped her fists to salute.
Tong Yi cooperated and clasped her fists in salute, saying, "Fellow Taoist, let's make progress together."
"Hahaha——" The four of them couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was such a clever and unconstrained dialogue.
Yan Feiyue remembered that Guan Guan had said that monks with special physiques would directly enter the Qi refining stage as soon as they awakened their spiritual roots, so she reminded him: "Tongtong, let's go to Urumqi when the time comes and bring what you need to practice. Find all the resources, I will keep them for you first."
Tong Yi also had this intention, so she rummaged through several boxes, skipping the miscellaneous spirit root exercises, and directly found the primary wood-based exercises. There was also a book of intermediate exercises below. She handed over the primary exercises. He gave it to A Yue and said, "I should use this one, but we can't rule out that other people in the Tong family will also awaken the single wood spiritual root, and we can learn together when the time comes."
"..." Qi Guanyu and Yan Feiyue were silent, but they had the same idea in their hearts: Shan Linggen is not a Chinese cabbage!
Tong Yi stood up and continued refining the medicine, while Tong Shan organized the exercises one by one and put them in their place. Then Yan Feiyue asked: "Cousin, do you still have spiritual stones at home?"
