Gu Xianzhen once said:
The medicine of immortality lies in the magical elixir.
The golden liquid returns to the flow of elixirs and flowers, flying high and soaring to the heavenly hills, and the yellow and white things become for a moment, and the male and female are in chaos...
The great medicine in the cauldron is full of nine colors, harmonizes yin and yang, and contains the eight powers of Yunhualong paste, which can make the mysterious energy linger.
Mercury, lead and tin, ever-changing.
As for the power of returning elixirs to the Holy Spirit.
It is also high in the Xuan Shen Cave, where the body of the underworld changes, and the dragon and flower spirit shine.
It can make those who eat pills ascend to the Han Dynasty and enjoy majestic mausoleums, wander around Yunling Mountains and be carefree, have a jade-like face, give birth to strange hairs, spit out water to wash away fire, fly without feathers, and have thousands of fractal forms, and can do whatever they want!
Its spirit is difficult to record, and its wonderfulness is unbelievable.
What a great spiritual thing, it cannot be described in detail!
…
Therefore, although the external elixir yellow and white technique is not as good as the orthodox immortal way practice, unless one is a person who has entered the occult and has great enlightenment inspiration, he will never be able to obtain the status of immortality by relying on the external elixir technique.
But it is also a method of Tongzhi health preservation that overcomes Taoism and customs and analyzes the three extremes. It is highly praised by Shangzhen and Gaoxiu and others, and Taoism is at its peak.
When the Waidan magic medicine was combined.
There are also various restrictions such as six fears, three taboos, and five taboos, which are very complicated.
If there was just one small mistake, the jade liquid that originally nourished and protected life in the cauldron would turn into residue and sludge.
Or the properties of the medicine have changed.
It has become a poisonous poison that can cause monks to have their stomachs rotten, their souls torn apart, and their souls to die!
At this time.
Chen Heng reached out to lift the lid of the furnace.
Cui Jingzhong, who had had enough time to sit in front of the jade table, holding a book of alchemy and shaking his head, suddenly became energetic.
He gently put down the letter in his hand and tiptoed to Chen Heng's side, holding his breath and concentrating, his eyes widening.
"boom!"
Chen Heng's Zhenqi flew out of the door and just threw it towards the fire.
The blazing pile of firewood actually erupted like thunderbolts. As if it was stimulated by something, the fire increased in intensity, and the flames scurried around like snakes, becoming even more powerful!
See this.
He was not in a hurry, and just took a bag of the bright white Qi that was like a horse's iron, and wrapped it around the fierce fire, preventing it from escaping from the bottom of the furnace, and slowly spent it away like a wrestling match.
After dozens of breaths passed.
Until the thunderclap gradually subsided, and finally became inaudible.
The tongues of fire were also weak and weak, with only a few faint sparks remaining, rising and falling on the solid wood as black as iron.
Seeing this, Chen Heng showed a slight smile on his face, recited the "jie" formula in his mouth, raised his right hand that had already pressed the stove lid, and immediately opened it!
I only smelled a strange fragrance being released, and the display was empty.
The aroma is like a jar of aged wine, rich and strong, intoxicating.
After inhaling it, I feel a slight dizziness and my limbs seem to feel limp.
But soon, as the last trace of fire on the firewood disappeared.
The rich and fragrant fragrance also turned into a faint fragrance of vegetation, lingering around, vaguely present.
At this time, when I took the medicinal fragrance into my body again, I felt refreshed, my internal organs were peaceful, my blood flow was rolling, and my strength was slightly increased.
"Very good, very good! This looks really good!"
Cui Jingzhong took a few strong breaths, narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips, then looked into the cauldron, and then he also made up his mind, raised his hands towards Chen Heng and smiled:
"Junior Brother Chen, your talent is indeed extraordinary. You are indeed a genius in cultivation! Now, all you need to do before the great medicine is completed is the last few steps. Let's take care of the poison first and then divide the child!"
At this moment in the furnace.
All the previous herbs, gold and stones were gone.
There is only a ball of soft medicinal mud the size of a human head, which is bright yellow in color, bright and colorful, and bursts with fragrance.
Chen Heng bowed to Cui Jingzhong, lifted up his robe, and pinched the poison-extracting seal in "Baoyang Alchemy Tips and Seven Returns of Dansha Jue". With a bang, a ball of empty Qi came out of his shoulders, and he went to the cauldron. The Chinese medicine mud falls away immediately.
Heavy soup, pouring, adding, grinding, bathing, enlightenment, preserving...
The above are all the refining steps when external medicine is turned into elixir.
What Cui Jingzhong said about poisoning and separation of fetuses is no exception, but this is indeed a method that can only be used after the medicinal mud has been formed into a shape.
Most of the elixirs in this world have residual poison hidden in them when they are first conceived.
It may be fire poison, medicine poison, water poison, or sand and stone poison.
If this poison is not removed as soon as it enters the abdomen, it will inevitably be hidden in the body shell. Over time, it will become a disease and damage the Dao foundation.
Therefore, the step of eliminating the remaining poison is called "detoxification".
As for separation.
It is to knead the medicinal mud into a pill shape so that the medicinal properties can be injected evenly.
Because no matter how powerful the medicine is, it will mess up the monarch, his ministers and his envoys, and spoil the pill.
Not one point increases, not one point decreases.
This is the right way to separate children...
Cui Jingzhong was a master of Dongxuan, and "Baoyang Alchemy Tips and Seven Returns of Dansha Jue" was the result of his lifelong efforts. The methods described in it, such as poisoning, are naturally extraordinary.
I saw the cloud of clear air that shook off Chen Heng's shoulders. He only rolled it lightly on the medicinal mud, and it was stained with a layer of turbid black charcoal color.
After two more rolls, the originally ethereal form suddenly became extremely heavy and crumbling, and there was no trace of clarity in the color anymore.
Chen Heng waved his sleeves and dispersed the filthy pure air in the air. He picked up the magic weapon and brought out a stream of pure air, which continued to fall into the cauldron.
It seems to go back and forth like this for ten times.
The remaining poison in the medicinal mud was finally completely eliminated, and no trace of damage was stored in it.
At this time, he shouted again, raised his Zhen Qi, and lifted the ball of bright yellow medicinal mud into the sky, while silently reciting the magic formula in his mouth.
After a long moment of adjusting his luck and reasoning, he pointed his hand and shot out an almost imperceptible stream of qi, which hit the medicine mud directly!
There was a roar in an instant!
But the medicine mud suddenly exploded, and countless round, plump, bright yellow pills separated out. After jumping in the air for a while, they suddenly fell like rain, flying in the air!
Chen Heng smiled slightly when he saw this, took out a few sapphire porcelain bottles, shook them in the air, and sealed them without missing any one.
And it was so full that it actually contained four bottles.
"This furnace of medicine could have produced one hundred and fifty precious yellow pills... In the end, I didn't work hard enough, and I only got one hundred and twenty."
There is no need to deliberately count.
Chen Heng already knew the effect of starting the fire.
He shook his head, handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to Cui Jingzhong, and said:
"Senior Brother Cui, please give it a try and see what the results of my achievements are like now."
Cui Jingzhong on the side quickly reached out to take it, took out a bottle at random, took out one of the precious yellow pills, rubbed it for a while, then looked up and swallowed it into his stomach.
After a while.
A smile appeared on his face, his eyes shone, and he praised sincerely:
"The essence is extremely pure, smoothes Qi and activates blood. When it enters the abdomen, it is as thin as a turtle's breath, inaudible, and moves silently. Later, the medicinal properties seep out from the essence, strengthening the body and strengthening the essence. It is also like putting the body shell in boiling water for a bath, warming it up. Fusion generates yang, so wonderful! So wonderful!
Junior Brother Chen, the medicinal properties of this furnace of Baohuang Dan are beyond improvement!
Even if I were to take action myself, senior brother, I would only be able to hold the fire steady and use gentle fire to refine the number of one hundred and fifty, and I would not be able to do more! "
Lieutenant General Cui Jing handed over the porcelain bottle with a smile. Chen Heng took it, poured a pill out of his palm, opened his mouth and swallowed it.
At first, it was just like drinking a cloud of empty wind and mist, and there was nothing strange about it.
But soon.
There was a melting warmth flowing throughout the limbs and bones, making the mind and body feel relaxed and the energy and blood rejoicing.
Chen Heng closed his eyes and carefully observed the change. After a moment, he opened his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
The elixir he is refining now is called Baohuang Dan, which has the function of increasing blood energy and nourishing the body.
For monks in the realm of practicing Qi, it is an out-and-out spiritual elixir and is extremely valuable.
And if the foundation-building true cultivator swallows this pill, it will also have some benefits. It can replenish the essence and activate the blood and energy throughout the body.
Although based on his current physical cultivation level, these precious yellow pills are no better than nothing and cannot bring any benefit.
But being able to train this elixir on his own does not require Cui Jingzhong's assistance.
It is also enough to show that his alchemy attainments are far beyond what was possible before.
If you are within the Xuanzhen Sect.
Just rely on this skill to refine Baohuang Dan.
Chen Heng can then enter the service room to find a position and become an alchemist of the Xuanzhen Sect.
But for Danding Huangbai, Talisman, formation, swordsmanship and other skills.
The Xuanzhen Sect has always been extremely well-hidden. It has always been private teaching between masters and disciples, and it has only been passed down by word of mouth. It is far less sophisticated and sublime than the "Baoyang Alchemy Points and Seven Returns of Dansha Jue", and every word is exquisite.
Thinking of this.
Chen Heng couldn't help but release the elixir, bowed solemnly to the smiling Cui Jingzhong, and thanked him.
"You're welcome! Junior Brother Chen is polite again!"
Cui Jingzhong was startled, stretched out his hand to support him, and said:
"Junior brother, with your talent, you will definitely be able to carry forward my alchemy book in the future. Saying thank you or not is really too outrageous!
After all, I should thank you, brother!
In time, when my junior brother is honored as my ancestor, I will say that you have actually studied Cui Jingzhong's alchemy book. If it spreads, I don't know how many people will admire the yellow and white method of external elixir. Then I will be very shameful. If there is light, there will be no regrets in dying! "
After the two looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing Chen Heng waving his hands modestly, Cui Jingzhong felt envious and couldn't help but say:
"In just seven days, Junior Brother Chen, you have actually refined Baohuang Dan and other foreign medicines... I am not pretending to be flattering, Senior Brother. It seems that such talent is far better than mine. It is indeed a real pill. Yijie!"
Chen Heng shook his head and said: "It's just a matter of luck that I succeeded. I really don't deserve Senior Brother Cui's praise."
He knows his own business.
Although it was stated that the time was seven days, with the "one true Dharma Realm" in hand, more than three months had passed.
In the past few months, I have thoroughly read the entire book of "Baoyang Alchemy Tips and Seven Returns of Dansha Jue".
In terms of Chen Heng's talent, which has been refined by "Taishi Yuanzhen".
Although it is difficult.
But it’s not impossible.
And because of the characteristics of the "One True Dharma Realm" that imprints external objects and mental states, whether it is gold, stone or medicinal herbs, they are both inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
After repeated attempts and practice, this proficiency was finally improved.
Just seven days.
Then you will be able to master the pharmacology of darkness and the properties of metal and stone, understand the rules of the emperor and his ministers, advance and retreat, draw and add fire, and the taboos in the use of fire, and even refine a furnace of high-quality precious yellow pills.
In Cui Jingzhong's eyes, this was an almost impossible and shocking move, so he regarded Chen Heng as a god and praised him endlessly.
But in Chen Heng’s view.
But it’s nothing more than hard work and hatred day and night...
"It seems that 'Taishi Yuanzhen' has indeed greatly improved my qualifications. If I had entered the Dharma Realm to practice before establishing the foundation, I am afraid that I would not be able to easily understand the "Baoyang Alchemy Points and Seven Returns of Dansha Jue" .”
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Cui Jingzhong on the side saw that he always looked calm.
Even though he had roughly read through the entire elixir book and refined the precious yellow elixir in seven days, there was not a trace of pride and arrogance left.
His eyes widened unconsciously, and his admiration deepened.
"Junior Brother Chen is in such a state of mind. If Junior Sister Xiao Qiao does this, she will definitely brag about how awesome she is. I'm afraid she won't be able to stop hearing it for half a month..."
Cui Jingzhong laughed first, then his face became slightly serious, as if he had remembered something important, and he said in a deep voice:
"But there is one thing, even though it is not very relevant, Junior Brother Chen still has to keep it in mind."
"Senior Brother Cui, please tell me."
Cui Jingzhong sighed and said: "After all, it is difficult to achieve immortality with the Huangbai technique of Waidan. Even if your junior is very talented, you should not be too attached to this method. If you miss the orthodox practice because of this, it will be a small gain, senior brother." I really am desperate to die...
These words were once spoken by the True Lord to me.
I am only mediocre in talent, and even my Dongxuan cultivation was obtained by taking pills from outside. I have already overstretched my future potential. It is destined that he will not be able to achieve any great achievements in this life, he will not be able to join a major sect, and he will not have the superior Zhen Qi Dao foundation. As for the high-grade golden elixirs, it will be even more vain.
Before the end of life, you can cultivate the method of the side sect's soul, or go to the two western states to find a source of blessing that can transform your body into a superior heretic deity...
This is a great blessing, I don’t dare to do what he wants anymore. "
Cui Jingzhong looked quite helpless. In the end, he only looked at Chen Heng and said solemnly:
"Junior brother is far more talented than me, so remember not to learn my story! It is excellent to only regard the Waidan Yellow and White Technique as a way to help the Tao, and never regard it as authentic!
Emphasizing technique over Taoism will only end in ashes! It’s too late to regret! "
The reason why Cui Jingzhong gave these words of advice.
First, seeing Chen Heng's extraordinary talent in elixirs, I was afraid that as a young man who didn't know the basics, he would inevitably make the same arrogant vow to refine the elixir of immortality as he did in the past.
This will definitely delay orthodox practice.
And secondly.
It was during these seven days that Chen Heng's diligent appearance, which he stayed up until dawn and kept his eyes open, really surprised Cui Jingzhong.
He really couldn't understand how a foundation-building monk could have such strong academic thinking and energy.
Unexpectedly, his mind was not tired day after day, and his hands would not let go of the scroll. He looked like a madman.
Cui Jingzhong was afraid that Chen Heng would be led astray by his own whims, so he devoted himself to alchemy and neglected Xuan Gong.
If Qiao Yubi saw this scene after coming out of seclusion.
He is covered with mouths all over his body, and I’m afraid he can’t speak clearly...
At this time.
Cui Jingzhong nodded in response when he saw Chen Heng, and his expression and attitude didn't seem like he was trying to make excuses. It was obvious that he had listened to his painstaking efforts.
The tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he burst out laughing.
"Let's go! Let's go! After refining the elixir for seven days and nights, junior brother, it's time for you to go out and get some fresh air. It just so happens that I'm going to teach you how to make the red lead rejuvenation elixir next. I'm still short of a few herbs here, so I need to go to the warehouse to get them. .”
Cui Jingzhong put his arm around Chen Heng's shoulders and took him out of the hall, saying:
"Junior brother, please come with me. It just so happens to take a look at the beautiful scenery in the Golden Drum Cave! Otherwise, when the True Lord comes out to summon you, you will still be suffering from the smoke and fire in the alchemy room. It would be unavoidable to tell this. How outrageous!
Now Qiao Ting should be learning piano at Xiaomei Mountain. We were walking to Baiyang Waterfall. Although we took a detour, we didn't have to bump into that little enemy. "
…
