"Going back this time to inherit the family property will be somewhat risky. We might even face Foundation-Building Stage monks. It seems we have to be well prepared... huh?"
In the cave, Lin Chen, who was preparing to return home, had his eyes flickering and thinking deeply, but at this moment, he suddenly froze and turned to look in the direction of the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Only the knock on the door was heard in the silent cave.
"In the past, when it was not developed, no one came. But with the recent rise, the front door has become a lot more lively." Lin Chen smiled softly, snapped his fingers, the door opened by itself, and said directly, "Come in!"
Liu Qiqiang, who was outside, looked at the open door, took a deep breath, and finally stepped across it with some restraint.
"Brother, disciple Liu Qiqiang pays homage to Senior Brother Lin." Liu Qiqiang stood aside, bowed and said respectfully.
"Oh?" Lin Chen turned his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "Why are you waiting here?"
"Last time at Danxia Peak, Senior Brother Lin's words gave this disciple a lot of encouragement and help, so this time I came here specifically to thank Senior Brother."
As Liu Qiqiang spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his body and presented it to the table with both hands.
Lin Chen seemed to be interested and opened the jade bottle, only to see a perfect quality Bigu Pill lying inside.
In Lingnan, the place where immortality is cultivated, the quality of elixirs is divided into ordinary, fine, and perfect according to the amount of erysipelas.
Among them, ordinary elixirs have the most erysipelas and require a lot of time to be refined after taking them, followed by fine elixirs and the least perfect elixirs.
As for the non-toxic Qi pill that Lin Chen developed, it is a peerless pill that can only be refined by a true alchemy master, not a real alchemy master as others call him.
"Although there is only one Bigu Pill, since it has reached perfect quality, the price should not be affordable by ordinary monks. You are really interested!" Lin Chen played with the pill in his hand and looked at Liu Qiqiang with a half-smile. One glance.
"Senior brother, you are serious. Compared with senior brother's help, this thing is far from valuable." Liu Qiqiang replied sincerely.
"Oh?" Lin Chen smiled and looked directly at him. Even though he didn't emit spiritual pressure, Liu Qiqiang couldn't help but feel nervous.
After a while, he suddenly heard Lin Chen say: "Are you learning to refine Huangya Dan?"
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Lin Chen suddenly mentioned this. Liu Qiqiang suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, "Senior brother is really awesome, I really admire him!"
"Did the recent refining fail several times due to poor fire control?" Lin Chen continued.
"This..." Liu Qiqiang's pupils shrank. He could see what kind of elixir he had refined, which was already very powerful. He could also see the reason for his recent failure, which was enough to tell that this senior brother was not simple!
Fortunately, I met this senior brother and had some contact with him, so I must seize the opportunity and hold on to this thigh!
"Junior brother is not good at learning, I hope he can give me some advice!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and asked: "What do you think is the most important thing in alchemy?"
Liu Qiqiang observed Lin Chen's face and said cautiously: "The heat?"
Lin Chen smiled and said nothing.
"The weight of the medicinal materials and when to use them... Junior brother is stupid, I hope my senior brother can give me some advice!" Seeing that Lin Chen's expression did not change, Liu Qiqiang immediately bowed his head and said respectfully.
"It's the medicinal properties." Lin Chen said slowly, "The temperature of the fire will vary depending on the influence of the ground fire. The weight of the medicinal materials is difficult to be exactly the same, and you can control the time of applying the medicine to a few seconds..."
"These things will vary from time to time, place and person, so how can they be the foundation of alchemy? Therefore, the foundation of alchemy lies in grasping the properties of medicine!"
"The medicinal properties that senior brother mentioned refer to the four qi, five flavors, meridian tropism, etc." Liu Qiqiang said in confusion.
"That's right." Lin Chen smiled when he heard the words, "In general, it is something we can refine and turn into for our own use."
"For example, the Huangya Dan you refined has Huanglingcao as the main ingredient, and the auxiliary drugs are Juyuanhua, Goblin, etc. Huanglingcao lives in humid places, and its earthly aura is cold and cold, so it will be in Huanglingcao's body. The medicinal properties of yin and cold are formed, and when refined into the human body, it will cause great harm. This is the so-called erysipelas..."
"And the heaven and earth are filled with spiritual energy of various attributes. These spiritual energy are absorbed by the spiritual medicine and form medicinal properties of different properties in their bodies. If a monk absorbs medicinal properties that do not belong to his own spiritual root, it will accumulate in the body and affect Progress, this is also the origin of erysipelas..."
"After these two kinds of erysipelas are removed in turn, the only remaining medicinal properties are composed of the initial swallowing of the spiritual veins and the non-attributed spiritual energy dropped from the sky. It can be refined by monks with different spiritual root attributes. This is what we call a perfect elixir. "
"On top of that, there is also a method of extracting different medicinal properties according to one's own needs and turning them into pure elixirs of non-toxic Qi Dan..."
"But that kind of refining method, when you can easily refine a pot of perfect quality elixir, you can come to me, I don't mind teaching you." Lin Chen turned his head and said with a smile.
"This..." Liu Qiqiang seemed a little confused after hearing these words, "If according to what the senior brother said, medicinal properties that are different from one's own spiritual root properties will form erysipelas, then, for the Five Spirit Root monks, wouldn't it be possible to combine all the medicinal properties? After absorbing all of it, why is it said that the spiritual roots are wasted?"
"Spiritual roots also have strengths. If the strength attributes of the five spiritual roots are the same, they will be able to complement each other. Not only will the cultivation speed be comparable to that of the heavenly spiritual roots, but many pills can even be taken as perfect pills." Lin Chen said calmly. explained.
"But if the strength of various spiritual roots is uneven, not only will they not be mutually reinforcing, but they will drag each other down. Not only will the medicinal properties of various attributes not be perfectly refined, but they will also be entangled with each other, forming a more difficult-to-eliminate erysipelas that will affect progress. Having said that, do you understand?"
"Junior brother understands!" Liu Qi forced himself to salute, feeling admired in his heart.
After so many years of alchemy making, Liu Qiqiang found that no one had ever explained the essence of alchemy so clearly!
"Then I dare to ask, senior brother, how to extract and preserve the medicinal properties?" Liu Qiqiang asked anxiously.
"Decomposition and distillation by fire, extraction by water, condensation by ice..." Lin Chen casually listed more than a dozen methods, which gave Liu Qiqiang some insight.
Although these are just Lin Chen's most basic insights into the way of alchemy, in Liu Qiqiang's view, this is already a superior way of alchemy!
He even felt that if it weren't for Lin Chen's guidance, even if he refined it tens of thousands of times and consulted the famous alchemy masters in the sect, he would probably have learned nothing more than the weight of the elixir and the changes in heat, etc.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for allowing me to understand the essence of alchemy. If I can help you in the future, no matter what, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Liu Qiqiang said with a grateful face.
"What I teach you is not only to understand the essence of alchemy, but also to learn to explore the essence of everything."
Lin Chen was talking, but a hint of joking suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said with meaning: "For example, you gave me a gift this time. On the surface, you want to thank me, but in essence, you want to connect with me, so as to use I am using my reputation as a fake to accomplish my own affairs, I wonder if what I say is right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Liu Qiqiang's face suddenly froze on his face. His mood was ups and downs, and he felt as cold as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cave!
